EPISODE: RAUCOUS 03, Chapter 5

(FADEIN: Larry Tact and El Arco Iris are standing backstage. Tact looks serious, and Iris is trying to cheer him up.)

IRIS: "Senor Tact! Drop that frown upside down. You and El Arco Iris are about to go into the happy royal!"

TACT: "You mean, battle royal."

IRIS: "No Senor Tact. Battle is too harsh and ugly a term. El Arco Iris prefers to use the term happy. And while we may have to test each others’ talents, you know that El Arco Iris will respect you throughout the end."

TACT: "Well let’s focus on this match here tonight. Killer thinks he’s got us all worked out, and his mystery partner … (smiles) Well, as soon as he steps out from behind that curtain and shows the world who he is … its going to be downhill from there."

IRIS: "We make a good team, Tact and El Arco Iris."

TACT: "We work well."

IRIS: "How about a pre-match hug!"

TACT: "Let’s …. Save that for another time."

IRIS: "Ok Senor Tact!"

(CUTTO: Ringside.)

JIVE: "That El Arco Iris annoys me, Tom."

GHEORGHE: "Why do you say that, Nick?"

JIVE: "He’s always so happy. It is INHUMAN to be that happy all the time."

GHEORGHE: "Perhaps Iris has found the secret to living a happy existence that you haven’t found yet."

JIVE: "And why does he always want to hug people?"

GHEORGHE: "Don’t you know that hugs send positive signals?"

JIVE: "If you ever try to hug me, Tom, God help you."

GHEORGHE: "Point taken. The next match is personally a match I’ve been waiting to see ever since I found out about it."

JIVE: "FINALLY! We’re going to find out who the mystery partner is!"

GHEORGHE: "As everyone knows, one of these teams was originally ‘the Phenom’ Shawn Hart and Suicidal Killer. Hart pinned Scotty Michaels, who was teaming with the American at the time …. And Michaels did not take that too well."

JIVE: "I’d say! He bit the living shit out of him afterwards!"

GHEORGHE: "I prefer to say that he attacked him after the match, and causing an injury which has since caused Hart to leave the active roster …"

JIVE: "How diplomatic."

GHEORGHE: "Thank you. Last edition Marcus LaRoque announced that here, tonight, there would be a mystery partner for Suicidal Killer to take on …. and as we thought he was going to reveal who this person was, it turned out to be a setup as Juliet Marceau came out."

JIVE: "I even heard that Marceau hand picked Tact and Iris to take on Killer and his mystery partner!! Marceau wants Killer to … KILL Larry Tact!"

GHEORGHE: "Marceau has had it out for Tact since the day she had to walk his contract into Marcus LaRoque’s office. If you ask me, I think she wants him."

JIVE: "WHAT!! Juliet Marceau is the acting Vice President, Tom! She doesn’t need to SLEEP with the talent, especially not Larry Tact! Hell he’ll be lucky if he escapes these tournaments with a single title!"

GHEORGHE: "I think it’s a deep down thing…"

JIVE: "You’re perverted, Tom!"

GHEORGHE: "Oh look who’s calling someone perverted! Let thee who is free from sin cast the first stone!"

JIVE: "You zealot!!"

GHEORGHE: "Anyway, disregarding my partner here, Larry Tact and El Arco Iris also had a very impressive match to make it this far themselves!"

JIVE: "It was trickery, to use Larry Tact’s own words."

GHEORGHE: "It was good old expertise! Tact and Iris had a great match with ‘the Wolf’ Chris McMillan and ‘the Southern Beast’ Brody Hansen … in the end, Larry Tact managed to twist himself to land on top of Hansen during a misplayed superplex ….. and the tandem moved on."

JIVE: "Ugh, I’m tired of this Tact love fest …. Let’s move on to this match and find out who this mystery person is!"

GHEORGHE: "Well tell me first … who do you think it is?"

JIVE: "Hm, I don’t know."

GHEORGHE: "Aw c’mon .. you tell me yours and I’ll tell you mine …."

JIVE: "Jeez, what are we in 8th grade comparing dick sizes?"

GHEORGHE: "What the hell kind of middle school did you grow up in?"

JIVE: "Um .. nevermind. I don’t know .. I keep on hearing reports that its Maelstrom … and seeing as how he’s left our affiliate Empire Pro, and how we have a very strict non-intergender match policy, I’m going to say that we shouldn’t be surprised if the big dumb animal shows up here tonight!"

GHEORGHE: "Oh, good guess."

JIVE: "Of course, Suicidal Killer will still have to drag his pixilated ass to the finals!"

GHEORGHE: "I’m going to disagree with your choice, though. I’m going to go out and say that tonight, in the ring, Suicidal Killer’s tag team partner is going to be just as insane … just as unpredictable .. and just as thirsty for the New ERA World Heavyweight Championship as he is … I’m going to say that Anarky will be his partner tonight … but I, on the other hand, think that Larry Tact and El Arco Iris are so prepared, and so well-oiled, that they’re going to move on."

JIVE: "Well oiled? Tell me yours, and I’ll tell you mine? Stop it, Tom … you’re probably turning Peter File on in the backroom!! I don’t need to go back there and find gaping holes in the pies from someone who couldn’t control themselves because you were saying all those things!"

GHEORGHE: (shaking his head) "Ladies and gentlemen, I am getting word that we’re ready to go with the main event ……. It is the FINAL battle bowl mania match …. This WILL determine who will join Peter File and Jonathan Marx in the battle royal for the New ERA World Heavyweight Championship! Let’s throw it to Carl Jacobs!"

(CUTTO: Ringside. Carl Jacobs stands in the ring …. The lineup for the main event comes across the screen.)


MAIN EVENT
World Heavyweight Championship Tournament
Battle Bowl Mania

Larry Tact & El Arco Iris vs. Suicidal Killer & Mystery Man

JACOBS: "The following match is scheduled for ONE fall and has a thirty minute time limit! Before we introduce the combatants let me introduce two very special guests here at ringside ….. CHEAPSHOT RAMON and PREDATOR!!!"

(SFX: Crowd cheers.)

JACOBS: "Without further adeux ………. Let’s introduce the first competitor!!!!"

JIVE: "IS IT THE MYSTERY MAN???"

(CUEUP: ‘Tunak Tunak Tun’ by Dahler Mehndi. The fans start going nuts as the stage lights start flashing all sorts of colors. El Arco Iris comes out dancing with a big smile on his face. He starts hugging each fan on his way down to ringside.)

JIVE: "UGH."

JACOBS: "Hailing from over the rainbow ……. His happiness is almost unbelievable …… EL ARCO IRIS!"

GHEORGHE: "And Iris is extremely happy to be here today!! Look at him hugging as many fans as he can get to!"

JIVE: "Its sick! I hope he catches a disease!"

(CUEUP: ‘Karma’ by Diffuser. The colored spotlights are replaced by a green and blue one which scans the crowd before forming the word ‘TACT’ … the crowd goes crazy when Larry Tact walks down to ringside.. He stops as he sees El Arco Iris still halfway to the ring .. he walks up to him and points to the ring. El Arco Iris apologizes profusely as he walks into the ring to the fans he didn’t get to hug.)

JIVE: "I wonder if that’s going to hurt his mindset going into the match!"

GHEORGHE: "I doubt that. Iris may be sensitive, but I think he’ll be more than prepared!"

JACOBS: "And his partner ……. From MANHATTEN, NEW YORK ……….. weighing 244 pounds ….. LARRY TACT!"

(SFX: Crowd pops immensely)

JIVE: "These idiots in here wouldn’t know real talent if it bopped them on the head."

GHEORGHE: "The fans love Larry Tact."

JIVE: "NOW LETS SHOW SOME LOVE FOR THE MYSTERY MAN!"

JACOBS: "And their opponents …….. first ……"

(The crowd dies down in anticipation …. CUEUP: ‘Army of Me’ by Chimaira as the fans begin to boo loudly.)

JIVE: "Figures they’d make us wait with anticipation!"

JACOBS: "From WALKER COUNTY, TEXAS …. He stands 7’4 and weighs over 500 pounds ….. SUICIDAL KILLER!"

(Killer ducks under the bar and walks through the curtains. The big man has a violent sneer on his face and he points at Tact as he walks all the way down the isle.)

GHEORGHE: "Killer looks angry, Nick."

JIVE: "ITS TIME! Show us our savior!"

JACOBS: "And his partner ….."

(The crowd quiets in anticipation …)

GHEORGHE: "The fans, like everyone else, are eagerly awaiting …"

JIVE: "SHUT THE HELL UP!"

(All of a sudden the lights go out ……. There is a little light projected by the big screen …. And we see a muscular figure step out from behind the curtain to the fans delight……………. THE LIGHTS GO UP ……)

(SFX: Fans start booing as it is revealed that the mystery man is still wearing his black attire and his black mask.)

GHEORGHE: "THE MYSTERY MAN IS STILL CLOAKED!"

JIVE: "What a better way to keep Tact and Iris on edge!! This man is INTELLIGENT!"

GHEORGHE: "The mystery man is slowly walking down to ringside .. and he and Larry Tact are exchanging glares!"

(SFX: Bell rings as the mystery man takes his place in the corner.)

GHEORGHE: "And it looks like Larry Tact and Suicidal Killer are going to start things off here tonight in the main event…"

JIVE: "Killer is going to manhandle him!"

GHEORGHE: "Killer is walking towards Tact … he reaches for him .. but Tact ducks under his arm and is on the other side… and Tact starts attacking his legs! Tact with some kicks to the back of the knee of Killer… and Killer turns around …. Tact with a quick dropkick to the knee.. but Killer stays up! Tact back up … BUT KILLER CATCHES HIM BY THE THROAT!"

JIVE: "Now its going to get ugly!"

GHEORGHE: "BUT TACT CHOPS THE HAND AWAY …. GOES BEHIND HIM … and now he continues to work on the legs of Killer!"

JIVE: "He got lucky there!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact making sure to keep being quick … Killer turns around …. AND HE KICKS TACT IN THE STOMACH …. PICKS UP TACT … AND DROPS HIM WITH A POWERBOMB!"

JIVE: "YES!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact rolls out of the way of a Suicidal Killer stomp … and Killer is trying to stomp a mudhole out of Larry Tact, but Tact keeps on getting out of the way! Tact rolls over to get to Iris … BUT KILLER CATCHES HIM BY THE HAIR! Killer DRAGGING TACT BY THE HAIR TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! He picks him up …. SUPER ATOMIC DROP and LARRY TACT looks like he is in pain!"

JIVE: "He looks like he just took a shit that scraped his ass on the way out!"

GHEORGHE: "They mystery partner wants to get in the ring …. And Killer tags him in!"

JIVE: "This guy is going to teach Larry Tact that there is no way he’ll be moving on to the final battle royal!"

GHEORGHE: "The mystery man comes in …. Rings Tact’s arm around …. And hits him with a clothesline! The mystery man now down on the mat with Tact and he’s punching him in the head with some lefts and rights! BUT TACT ROLLS OVER ON TOP OF HIM and HE’S NOW WAILING ON THE MYSTERY MAN!"

JIVE: "Killer save him!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact up ….. he’s waiting for the mystery man to get up ……. Elbows him in the face … Tact with an irish whip! Mystery Man against the ropes, Tact with a clothesline …. But the mystery man ducks and goes on the other side ….. AND HE HITS TACT WITH A CROSS BODY BLOCK!! ONE ….. TW—KICKOUT! The mystery man now getting up …. He picks up Tact … and gets off a suplex!"

JIVE: "This mystery man and Suicidal Killer are perfect!! Killer can utterly destroy an opponent, and the mystery man can wear him out so Killer CAN destroy him!"

GHEORGHE: "The mystery man gets back up … and he tags in Suicidal Killer! Killer walks over to Tact who is starting to get up … Killer grabs him by the head … and Tact starting to hit some shots in the gut. But Killer nails him with a forearm shot to the back and Tact goes back to his knees, arching in pain. Killer picks up Tact … and he throws him into his own corner!"

JIVE: "He wants Iris in the ring! He wants to eat Iris for dinner!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact tags in El Arco Iris and Iris steps into the ring ….."

JIVE: "He’s pleading for his life!"

GHEORGHE: "Iris is NOT pleading for his life! He is trying to help Killer with his anger problems …. IRIS IS OFFERING A HUG! …. AND KILLER IS ACCEPTING!!"

JIVE: "What is going on!"

GHEORGHE: "IT WAS A TRICK!! KILLER PICKS UP IRIS …. AND HITS A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! HE PRACTICALLY THREW HIM INTO CANADA!"

JIVE: "HAHA! Killer is BIG and SMART!"

GHEORGHE: "Suicidal Killer now back to his feet and Iris is holding his back. I don’t think he was expecting that at all! Killer now picking up Iris ….. BUT IRIS KICKS AWAY HIS HANDS ….. IRIS AGAINST THE ROPES …. SLIDES UNDER KILLERS LEGS!!"

JIVE: "Killer shoulda just sat down and squashed him like a pancake!"

GHEORGHE: "Iris now comes off the ropes … Killer turns around … IRIS WAY UP IN THE AIR … HURRICAN… NOOOOOOOOO!!! Suicidal Killer CATCHES HIM … AND NAILS HIM WITH A GUTBUSTER!!! Poor El Arco Iris looks like someone just stabbed him in the side!"

JIVE: "With someone Iris’ size, he coulda broken all 12 ribs!"

GHEORGHE: "I thought men only have 11?"

JIVE: "I’m a wrestling announcer, Tom … I don’t know."

GHEORGHE: "Suicidal Killer now tags in his mystery partner and he runs over to Iris. The mystery partner now picking up Iris .. and nails him with a quick fisherman’s suplex which he turns into a crossface! He wants Iris to give up soon!"

JIVE: "Great idea! Work on the fruit early!"

GHEORGHE: "The mystery man is really wrenching back on the neck …… but Iris won’t give up! So the mystery man lets go … and now he is pointing at Tact! The mystery man rolls Iris over and tells Tact to get in the ring! Tact is now in, and he and the mystery man lock up! They’re struggling to get the advantage … and they struggle into the corner! The ref comes in to break it up …. And it’s a clean break."

JIVE: "The mystery partner should have slapped him in the face."

GHEORGHE: "They lock up again … the mystery man goes behind Tact …… GERMAN SUPLEX … with a BRIDGE!!! ONE ….. TWO ….. KICKOUT by TACT! Tact quickly up … he goes behind the mystery man with his OWN GERMAN SUPLEX!!! HE HOLDS ON TO HIM … and NAILS HIM A SECOND TIME …. BRIDGES ….. ONE ….. TWO …. THR—KICKOUT by the mystery man!"

JIVE: "Tact thinks he’s smart …"

GHEORGHE: "Both men to their feet now .. Tact with the mystery man .. sends him crashing into the corner!! He charges in after him…. But the mystery man moves and Tact hits chest first on the turnbuckle pad!! ROLL UP!!! ONE ….. TWO …. KICKOUT by Tact! The mystery man almost caught Larry Tact off guard! Tact quickly up …. Sets up for a dropkick … but the Mystery man ducks …. AND LARRY TACT FAKED IT AND NAILS HIM WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Tact with the cover ….. ONE … TW- KICKOUT by the mystery man!"

JIVE: "What a devious trick!"

GHEORGHE: "That was mighty fine wrestling, Nick!"

JIVE: "Larry Tact tricked him!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact tags in El Arco Iris who climbs the top rope ……. Tact holds the mystery man up ……… MISSILE DROPKICK BY IRIS!!! Iris with a quick cover ….. ONE …… TWO …. TH—KICKOUT! Iris picks up the mystery man … and takes him down with a single leg takedown! Iris quickly off the rope …. Goes for a flipping splash, but the mystery man rolls out of the way!! Quick tag by Iris and Tact is back in before the mystery man can capitalize! BUT ITS TOO LATE!"

JIVE: "HERE COMES KILLER!"

GHEORGHE: "Suicidal Killer steps OVER the top rope … and KICKS LARRY TACT in THE FACE TAKING HIM DOWN! And now Suicidal Killer locks on a nerve hold on the neck of Tact! He is trying to make Tact cry uncle!"

JIVE: "That’s something I’d pay to see… Larry Tact cry in the middle of the ring."

GHEORGHE: "It was a figure of speech, Nick. The ref going over .. and Larry Tact is trying to fight the hold .. he asks if he wants to give up … but Tact says no! Larry Tact is trying to get to the ropes!"

JIVE: "Don’t let him get there!"

GHEORGHE: "LARRY TACT HAS THE ROPES BUT KILLER WON’T RELEASE THE HOLD!! The referee gives him the four count, and Killer releases at the last moment! BUT NOW HE PICKS UP TACT IN A BEAR HUG!"

JIVE: "He is trying to wear Larry Tact out!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact is squirming in pain ….. HE CLAPS HIS HANDS AROUND THE HEAD OF KILLER! Killer won’t release… HE HITS HIM AGAIN and KILLER DROPS HIM!"

JIVE: "Tact hit the mat like a sack of potatoes!"

GHEORGHE: "Suicidal Killer, trying to get the ringing out of his ears, tags his partner back in the ring! The mystery man walks up behind Tact… and Russian leg sweeps him to the ground … and now he is trying to turn him over into a Boston CRAB! The mystery man turning …. Turning ….. HE HAS HIM OVER … BUT TACT USES THE MOMENTUM TO TURN IT BACK AND THE MYSTERY MAN HITS THE MAT!"

JIVE: "Get up before Tact does!"

GHEORGHE: "The mystery man hops back up …. And Larry Tact meets him with a right hand to the jaw! AND NOW LARRY TACT IS TRYING TO RIP THE MASK OFF OF THE MYSTERY MAN!!"

JIVE: "HE CAN’T DO THAT!!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact trying to get it … but the Mystery Man is holding on to it for dear life …."

(SFX: Crowd groans)

GHEORGHE: "And the mystery man kicks Tact below the belt! Tact is bent over ….. RUNNING BULLDOG by the mystery man! The cover ….. ONE ….. and Tact easily kicks out!"

JIVE: "That was a reflex, Tom! Tact must have hit his knee or something."

GHEORGHE: "Either way, the mystery man saved his mask for now! Mystery man with a handful of hair …. Irish whips Tact into the ropes …. And on the return Iris tags himself in!! Tact comes back and the mystery man puts his head down!! TACT LOCKS HIM ….. SNAP SUPLEX …. AND EL ARCO IRIS COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A MOONSAULT!! The pin!!! ONE …… TWO ….. KICKOUT! AND HERE COMES SUICIDAL KILLER!!!"

JIVE: "He’s got to protect his partner!"

GHEORGHE: "Killer has Iris by the mask ….. BUT LARRY TACT CHARGES AND TAKES OUT ONE KNEE AND KILLER GOES DOWN TO HIS KNEES!!! IRIS AGAINST THE ROPES …….. AND HITS THE FLYING FOREARM!!! Killer is rocking back and forth!!! TACT TAKES HIS HEAD …. DDT!!!"

JIVE: "THEY BROUGHT THE BIG MAN DOWN!!"

GHEORGHE: "But Iris forgot about the mystery man .. and as soon as he turned around … the mystery man doubled him over …. PILEDRIVER by the mystery man!! Larry Tact turns around ….. AND A RUNNING ELBOW BRINGS DOWN TACT! The referee now telling Suicidal Killer to get out of the ring, and he is telling the same to Larry Tact who was slow to get up! The mystery man picks up Iris …. Northern lights suplex with a bridge!!! ONE ….. TWO ….. THREE!"

JIVE: "DAMMIT!"

GHEORGHE: "No! Iris managed to break out of the bridge! The mystery man gets up … and he tags in Suicidal Killer! Killer comes in … Killer tries to get Iris … but Iris with a somersault and he tags in Larry Tact! Tact in and he avoids a Killer big boot! Last time that brought Tact down fast!"

JIVE: "Both teams making quick tags…. Voluntary."

GHEORGHE: "Yes, in case you just joined us .. Cross, I guess annoyed with the fact Renaissance Man tried to get in at the right times and tag himself in, ended up walking out of the ARENA we are told! Suicidal Killer turns around …. AND LARRY TACT with a kick to the gut!! Killer still stands upright …. So now Tact hits him with a flurry of punches to the gut! TACT AGAINST THE ROPES …. DROPKICKS KILLER!!! Killer doubles over but doesn’t go down!!! Larry Tact with a swinging neckbreaker AND THE BIG MAN GOES DOWN!"

(SFX: Crowd pops huge)

GHEORGHE: "And the fans are really behind Larry Tact and El Arco Iris!"

JIVE: "I can’t believe he brought him to the mat!!!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact is trying to grab the huge tree trunks of legs that Killer has …. He turns the big man onto his stomach … AND TACT HAS ON AN ANKLE LOCK! Suicidal Killer puts his head up and has a look of terror on his face! Killer quickly uses his height to grab the rope and Tact is forced to release the hold! Larry Tact drops an elbow on the big man’s knee! TACT GOES BACK FOR THE ANKLE LOCK … BUT KILLER USES HIS FREE FOOT TO KICK LARRY TACT PRACTICALLY HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING!!!"

JIVE: "Tact looked like a Carolina Panther being thrown by the Patriots defensive line!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact back on his feet … Killer gets to his knees. Tact walks over …. AND SUICIDAL KILLER PULLS DOWN THE TOP ROPE AND USES TACT’S TIGHTS TO THROW HIM TO THE OUTSIDE!! BUT HERE COMES EL ARCO IRIS!! IRIS CHARGING …. GOES FOR A SPINNING HEEL KICK BUT KILLER DUCKS AND IRIS GOES OVER THE TOP!! But TACT catches him!!!"

JIVE: "Iris is luck that Larry Tact was there!"

GHEORGHE: "Suicidal Killer makes his way over to his corner and he tags in his mystery partner! The mystery man is telling Larry Tact to get back into the ring! Tact back in .. and they lock up! Mystery Man with a go behind … and he knocks Tact foreward onto his face! The mystery man turns Tact over …. He is trying to lock on the figure four!!! BUT LARRY TACT COUNTERS WITH A PIN ATTEMPT!! ONE ……. TWO ……. KICKOUT by the mystery man!!!"

JIVE: "Larry Tact is REALLY starting to piss me off!!!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact knicks up …. The mystery man turns around …. TACT HITS HIM WITH THE SUPERKICK!!! NOOOO … THE MYSTERY MAN DUCKS ….. HE TURNS TACT AROUND …… PICKS HIM UP AND HITS THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!!!"

JIVE: "What a great set by the mystery man!"

GHEORGHE: "The mystery man gets back up …. And he is over to talk to Suicidal Killer ….. Killer nods his head .. and the mystery man goes back to Tact! Mystery Man picks up Larry Tact… and he’s putting HIM ON THE TOP ROPE!!! LARRY TACT AND THE MYSTERY MAN ARE STRADDLING THE TOP ROPE!!!! BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG SUPERPLEX ….. NO!!!"

JIVE: "What the hell!!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact’s foot was stuck …… and the mystery man ended up falling to the mat and hit his back!!! Tact slumps back … and now he manages to get his foot off …. Tact hops off and walks over to the mystery man …. FULL NELSON SLAM!!! And now Larry Tact is calling El Arco Iris!! Tact tags in Iris …. AND IRIS FLIES OFF WITH A 450 SPLASH!!! The cover ….. ONE ……. TWO ….. THRRR—KICKOUT at the last moment!!!"

JIVE: "I thought it was over!"

GHEORGHE: "El Arco Iris lifts up the mystery man … Iris sends him into the ropes …. HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN!! Iris with a quick cover!! ONE …. TWO …. THR—ANOTHER KICKOUT BY THE MYSTERY MAN!"

JIVE: "Ohh no, here comes trouble!!"

(The far off shot shows Esco and Ice, the Natural Born Killers coming down to ringside.)

GHEORGHE: "The Natural Born Killers are down here, and they will more than likely want to get a piece of Suicidal Killer once this match is over for totally manhandling them earlier!"

JIVE: "They’re pathetic! To actually think the future New ERA World Champion would want to ally himself with them!"

GHEORGHE: "El Arco Iris waiting for the mystery man to get up …. HURRICANRANA WITH A ROLLUP!!! ONE ….. TWO …. THREE! NOOO! The mystery man once more kicked out!"

JIVE: "All of these men are putting on a great fight … its too bad that Tact and Iris are going to end up on the short end of the stick."

GHEORGHE: "Iris against the ropes …… AND SUICIDAL KILLER HIT HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AS HE BOUNCED OFF THE ROPES!! Iris is on the ground … AND LARRY TACT IS IN THE RING!!! NOW SUICIDAL KILLER IS IN THE RING!!! KILLER AND TACT are trading shots back and forth!!! Wait!!!! The MYSTERY MAN IS LOCKING EL ARCO IRIS UP IN THE FIGURE FOUR!!"

JIVE: "Killer needs to get Tact out of there!!!! Iris is going to give!!"

GHEORGHE: "THE REF IS TRYING TO GET SOME ORDER … AND HE DOESN’T SEE IRIS’ SHOULDERS ON THAT MAT!!!"

JIVE: "ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE!! Killer and the mystery man would have won by now!!!"

GHEORGHE: "KILLER HAS TACT BY THE THROAT!!!"

JIVE: "ICE HAS A CHAIR!"

GHEORGHE: "ICE IS ON THE APRON!! He is sizing up Suicidal Killer!!!! SWINGS!!! BUT KILLER TURNS AND LARRY TACT TAKES THE BRUNT OF THE BLOW ON THE BACK AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REF!!!"

JIVE: "El ARCO IRIS IS PASSED OUT!!! WHY ISNT THE REF COUNTING!!"

(SFX: Bell rings)

JIVE: "WHAT HAPPENED???"

GHEORGHE: "Now Cheapshot Ramon and Predator hop over the guardrail … AND THEY’RE COMING TO BLOWS WITH THE NATURAL BORN KILLERS!!! But what has gone on?!?!?"

JACOBS: "The winners of this match ….. DUE TO DISQUALIFICATION …….. LARRY TACT and EL ARCO IRIS!"


Running Out of Time

GHEORGHE: "THE REF IS DISQUALIFYING SUICIDAL KILLER AND HIS MYSTERY PARTNER!!"

JIVE: "HE CAN’T DO THAT!"

GHEORGHE: "The Mystery Man releases the Figure Four on El Arco Iris and he is yelling at the ref!"

JIVE: "If the Mystery Man is the legal man …. How can they get disqualified!"

GHEORGHE: "You don’t hit Larry Tact in the head with a chair, even if it was accidental, in front of the ref … IF HE’S IN THE RING!! That leads to an automatic disqualification! Suicidal Killer is in disbelief!! And now he’s looking at the rampway where Cheapshot Ramon and Predator are trying to get revenge on the Natural Born Killers for hitting Tact with the chair. It was on accident!! Suicidal Killer pulled him in the way!"

JIVE: "They need to be dealt with!!"

GHEORGHE: "SUICIDAL KILLER HOPS OFF THE APRON AND HE IS CHARGING AT ALL FOUR MEN!!! Meanwhile in the ring, the Mystery Man is STANDING ABOVE LARRY TACT ………."

JIVE: "BEAT HIS ASS!"

GHEORGHE: "OH MY GOD! Suicidal Killer just threw BOTH Cheapshot Ramon AND Predator OFF THE SIDE OF THE STAGE AND ONTO THE CONCRETE BELOW! AND NOW HE HAS A HOLD OF THE NATURAL BORN KILLERS!!!! HE TOSSES ESCO DOWN ONTO THE CONCRETE TOO…"

JIVE: "Imagine if this man made it into the battle royal, Tom??? He’d have DOMINATED! I think we need a rematch!"

CROWD: "N . E . W! N . E . W!"

JIVE: "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"

GHEORGHE: "I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! SUICIDAL KILLER PICKED UP ICE ….. AND TOSSED HIM INTO THE BIG SCREEN!!! THAT WHOLE SCREEN JUST WENT OUT LIKE FLASHLIGHT AND ICE FELL THROUGH IT TO THE OTHER SIDE!!"

JIVE: "HE IS A MONSTER!"

GHEORGHE: "WAIT!! Larry Tact is starting to get up … and the Mystery Man is slowly circling him!!! Those two men had a HELL of a battle here tonight! It’s a shame that the decision was because of two men who thought they had to settle a score!"

JIVE: "Larry Tact is up!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact is indeed Up!! AND HE TURNS AROUND AND IS FACE TO FACE WITH THE MYSTERY MAN! Both men are talking to one another ….. I would DIE to find out what was being said right now, Nick!"

JIVE: "I will find out!! Give me a second…"

GHEORGHE: "WAIT! The mystery man is turning to leave …. BUT TACT CATCHES HIS ARM ….WHO IS THIS MAN?"

JIVE: "The mystery man is pointing to his mask!!!"

(SFX: Crowd pops huge)

GHEORGHE: "The fans want to know who this is …. We want to know who this is … and I sure as hell bet Larry Tact wants to know who put up such a great fight against him here tonight …."

(The mystery man nods … and he begins to pull up on his mask..)

JIVE: "He’s DOING IT!!"

GHEORGHE: "HIS MASK IS HALFWAY Up! HE NEEDS TO HURRY BECAUSE WE ARE OUT OF TIME!"

(The mystery man yanks his mask off at the last minute and Larry Tact’s eyes widen … up on the ramp Suicidal Killer’s nostrils are flaring… the camera comes around to show …)

GHEORGHE: "JEAN RABESQUE IS IN NEW ERA!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! JEAN RABESQUE WENT MOVE FOR MOVE, WIT FOR WIT WITH LARRY TACT HERE TONIGHT!!"

JIVE: "WHAT! I was excited FOR NOTHING!"

GHEORGHE: "I AM IN SHOCK!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN … Larry Tact and Jean RABESQUE ARE STANDING FACE TO FACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING … THEY’re STILL JAW’ING at each OTHER!!! FOR NICK JIVE, I’m TOM GHEORGHE …. JOIN US FOR THE NEXT EDITION OF NEW ERA RAUCOUS!!!"

(FADEOUT: As Jean Rabesque and Larry Tact are standing face to face, their words beginning to get heated … a quick cut shows that Suicidal Killer is storming into the back, tearing down the curtain on his way …. CUTTO: Back to ringside. The show fades out on Tact’s and Rabesque’s eyes … both staring intensely at the others.)


( the end )
