EPISODE: RAUCOUS 06, Chapter 5

(CUTTO: The Arena as the cameras spin around the arena showing the fans, the camera stops and moves down showing Nick and Tom at ringside behind their announcing desk.)

JIVE: "I can't believe it! Chaos is in New ERA of Wrestling … and he has targeted Suicide right off the bat!"

GHEORGHE: "Chaos managing to work his way into the end of that match as Brody Hansen looked to be in pain after the conclusion of his match. We hope to get some information Brody before the end of the show …"

JIVE: "But Chaos came out .. and he let his presence be shown! All this excitement, I can't handle it, Tom! First Chaos .. and now we're going to crown two champions! I think I'm going to have a heart attack!"

GHEORGHE: "Boy oh boy this next match has had big expectations! This is for the Television Championship, as John Doe is going to take on Jean Rabesque!"

JIVE: "Yeah, I mean, I guess I can struggle through this match. I don't particularly like either John Doe and everyone knows how much Jean Rabesque irks me … Doe managed to take out Wells, so he's not THAT bad .. but he definitely cheated his way past ‘Violent' Nick Savage … don't deny it dawg!"

GHEORGHE: "Did you just call me dawg? Do I look like a dawg?"

JIVE: "No .. but you smell like one, and your mother well she is a full-blown bitch."

GHEORGHE: "You have a very dirty mouth, do you know that?"

JIVE: "I don't care, Tom. All I know is that this match better be quick."

GHEORGHE: "I've heard a lot of rumbling from fans and around the wrestling world about this match .. and I am sure there are plenty of people who are expecting a quick match here tonight."

JIVE: "Just take us down to ringside .. I want to see the Battle Royal after this match!"

GHEORGHE: "Let's take it to the ring where Carl Jacobs is … let's crown OUR VERY FIRST TELEVISION CHAMPION!!"

(CUTTO: The big screens at the top of the rampway which show the match lineup. CUTTO: Jacobs in the ring.)


Television Championship Tournament
Finals

John Doe vs. Jean Rabesque

JACOBS: "The following match up is the finals of the Television Championship Tournament and the winner will be crowned the first New ERA Television CHAMPION!"

(The referee holds up the Television Championship in the air to show the crowd.)

JIVE: "Man that's a pretty belt."

JACOBS: "Since this is a title-crowning match, there is NO time limit!"

GHEORGHE: "No time limit! There will be a champion crowned tonight!"

JACOBS: "Introducing first …"

(CUEUP: 'Shapes of Things' by Jeff Healey Band. Jean Rabesque raises his hand as he heads down to the ring a look of intensity and focus on his face. Rabesque slides in the ring as the crowd cheers loud for him.)

GHEORGHE: " Look at him he is pumped for this match!"

JACOBS: "Making his way to the ring weighing 245 pounds and standing 6'1 ….. hailing from Montreal , Quebec , Canada …. JEAN RABESQUE!!"

(Rabesque stands in the center of the ring and looks at the curtains.)

JACOBS: "And his opponent…. "

(CUEUP: "When Worlds Collide" By Powerman 5000. Arena turns pitch black as blue pyrotechnics fires off all over the ramp way.)

JACOBS: "Standing at six foot one and weight 210 pounds ……."

(Nobody walks out from behind the curtain, Jean looks at the referee then at the ramp way. Red and blue strobe lights start to flicker around the arena.)

GHEORGHE: "Did, John Doe no-show? Where is he?"

JIVE: "Jesus .. is Doe knocked out in the backroom, too? Not again!"

(As the strobe lights flicker around the arena a figure is seen positioned on the top of a turnbuckle.)

JIVE: "WAIT A SECOND!! Someone is on the top ropes!"

GHEORGHE: "The lights turn back on .. ITS JOHN DOE!!! JOHN DOE IS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE … RABESQUE TURNS AROUND …. AND DOE HITS HIM WITH A HURRICANRANA FROM THAT TOP ROPE!! Rabesque never saw that coming, what a way to start this match up by John Doe! Doe with the cover…but a quick kick out by Rabesque."

(SFX: Bell rings)

JIVE: "The element of surprise, only a cheater would do such a thing.. Hell, I expected that out of Rabesque."

GHEORGHE: "Doe now stands up .. as does Rabesque. Rabesque comes and nails a hard clothesline! Doe quickly back to his feet … but down again as Rabesque hits ANOTHER clothesline! Doe gets up again and Rabesque now grabs John Doe by the arm … he spins him around and locks his hands around his waist!"

JIVE: "Don't let him lock the ha.. too late."

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque locks his hands around Doe's waist …. and a beautiful german suplex by Jean Rabesque! Rabesque trying to wear down John Doe early on in this match after Doe surprised him with that hurricanrana!"

JIVE: "All I know is that I don't care who wins, as long as its not Rabesque."

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque once more locking the waist of John Doe … he lines himself up …. AND RABESQUE HITS A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX AND THE BACK OF JOHN DOE'S HEAD HITS THAT TURNBUCKLE PAD! Doe is down .."

JIVE: "I think the referee should warn Rabesque about using foreign objects!"

GHEORGHE: "I think Jean has just knocked out John Doe! Rabesque with the cover! ONE ……. TWO ……. No… a faint kick out by John Doe!"

JIVE: "Rabesque is in control of this match. Look at that disrespect! He is stomping a mudhole into John Doe's chest!"

GHEORGHE: "Doe getting up now …. Rabesque hits him with a hard punch on the forehead… Doe hits the mat and is holding his head…. Now Rabesque picking up John Doe … and HE LIFTS HIM UP OVER HIS HEAD!"

JIVE: "Rabesque is a beast!"

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque now puts Doe on his shoulder ……. RUNNING POWERSLAM! Rabesque showing us that he can also put a little power in his repertoire …"

JIVE: "He's still stuck in the late 80's if you ask me."

GHEORGHE: "Now Rabesque waiting for John Doe to get up … picks him up for an inverted atomic drop … BUT DOE BLOCKS! Doe lays a knife edge chop into the chest of Jean Rabesque!"

CROWD: "WOOO!"

JIVE: "Ouch! You could hear that one echo across the arena."

GHEORGHE: "Doe with ANOTHER knife edge chop!!! AND A THIRD!"

CROWD: "WOOOO, WOOOO!"

GHEORGHE: "Doe now bounces off the ropes …. Rushes Rabesque …. But RABESQUE CATCHES DOE AND PLANTS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A HARD SPINEBUSTER SLAM!"

JIVE: "C'mon … you can't let Rabesque get those in! Use your speed! Do something! Rabesque is double Doe's age practically!"

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque pulling up Doe by his hair … but Doe hits him with a hard Toe Kick to the stomach.. John Doe is trying to fight this thing out. I hope he doesn't hope to wear Rabesque out .. because Jean Rabesque is in very good condition."

JIVE: "KNOCK OUT HIS CONTACTS! His eyesight has to be going!"

GHEORGHE: "Doe manages to nail Rabesque in the face with a standing dropkick. Rabesque stumbles and falls to one knee! Doe now running at him and …. AND DOE HITS A SHINING WIZARD TO THE TEMPLE OF JEAN RABESQUE !"

JIVE: "Wonderful ring presence by Jean Rabesque!!!"

GHEORGHE: "John Doe picks up Jean Rabesque … and brings him to the corner …. Doe climbing on the shoulders of Rabesque …. VICTORY ROLL!!! ONE ….. TWO …. KICKOUT by Jean Rabesque! Doe is now pulling Rabesque into the center of the ring … and he's locking on a SHARPSHOOTER!"

JIVE: "Good, finish this match as soon as possible!"

GHEORGHE: "The ref asking if Rabesque wants to give up, but Rabesque shakes his head now and begins crawling towards the ropes."

JIVE: "Doe is going to try to hold this move on as long as he can!"

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque grabbing the bottom rope … but Doe isn't breaking the hold! The referee starting to count John Doe with the five count, and if Doe doesn't release that hold he's going to be disqualified!"

JIVE: "Well, that'd be one way to move on."

REF: "ONE …. TWO ….. THREE …. FOUR …. FI.."

GHEORGHE: "And Rabesque looked very close to tapping out as Doe releases the hold!"

JIVE: "It seemed to be as if Doe held it for six seconds.. I mean I was counting!"

GHEORHGE: "Rabesque getting up as Doe argues with the ref about his fast count it would seem! Doe turning around ….. and Rabesque has just laid Doe out with a single leg takedown!"

JIVE: "Doe was in a conversation with the referee, and Rabesque comes out of nowhere and attacks him. That shows you what kind of champion he would be!"

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque now lifting Doe and irish whips him into the turnbuckle… and NOW RABESQUE IS TAKING DOE UP TOP!!"

JIVE: "HE'S GOING TO SUPERPLEX HIM!"

GHEORGHE: "Jean Rabesque now lifting up John Doe …. OH MY LORD!!! JOHN DOE REVERSED IT IN MID AIR AND NAILED JEAN RABESQUE WITH A REVERSE INVERTED DDT!!! WHAT A MOVE!!!"

CROWD: "N.E.W! N.E.W!"

GHEORGHE: "Both men are down on the mat! The ref not counting very fast as the officials want a champion crowned tonight."

JIVE: "They should just give the title to the Renaissance Man .. he should be here tonight, not Rabesque."

GHEORGHE: "WAIT! John Doe is rolling to the outside of the ring …. AND HE'S DRAGGING JEAN RABESQUE WITH HIM!!! THEY ARE COMING OUR WAY!"

JIVE: "Get that cheater out of here! God damn it."

GHEORGHE: "Doe now laying Jean Rabesque on THE SPANISH ANNOUNCER's TABLE!!! AND DOE IS BACK IN THE RING!"

JIVE: "What the hell is he doing?!!?"

GHEORGHE: "John Doe climbing up the turnbuckle ……. MEASURES AS HE LEAPS OFF ….. SWANTON BOMB ONTO THE TABLE!! BUT RABESQUE MOVES!!!! JOHN DOE GOES CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE!"

JIVE: "What an idiot! Don't do those kinds of moves!! That's it it's over. Rabesque getting to his feet and he throws Doe in the ring. What an idiotic move by Doe … practically handing the title to Rabesque."

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque now rolling John Doe into the ring … and he drops the elbow from the second rope!!! JEAN RABESQUE HAS LOCKED ON THE FIGURE FOUR!!!! John Doe is in the center of the ring …. DOE IS ABOUT TO SUBMIT!!! NO! DOE IS TRYING TO FLIP THE FIGURE FOUR!!"

JIVE: "Roll over! We can't have Rabesque as our first champion!"

GHEORGHE: "HE REVERSES IT AND NOW RABESQUE IS FEELING THE PAIN!!! Rabesque quickly releases the figure four and both men are lying on the mat!"

JIVE: "Can you imagine what would have happened if John Doe made Jean Rabesque submit to his own hold in a reversal? That'd throw Rabesque off the deep end!"

GHEORGHE: "Doe now getting up, as is Rabesque... Doe lands a hard right hook …. now a jab, and another jab... The Ref yelling at Doe telling him to keep an open hand. ButRabesque knees Doe in the stomach and doubles him over …. Rabesque locks on …. RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP!"

JIVE: "God dammit. Someone get me the tazer."

GHEORGHE: "Rabesque NOW HAS JOHN DOE IN A SLEEPER HOLD!!! The ref lifts up Doe's hand and IT DROPS!! The ref does it again and Doe's arm drops A SECOND TIME!!! One more time and he's done! The referee lifts up Doe's arm for the last time …. BUT DOE KEEPS IT UP!!!"

JIVE: "These idiots in the stands are actually cheering for these two guys! Either that or they're cheering for the end…."

GHEORGHE: "Both John Doe and Jean Rabesque are putting on a great show here on RAUCOUS… this is for the TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP, folks … and they're pulling out all the stops! John Doe with an elbow to the stomach of Jean Rabesque .. JOHN DOE AGAINST THE ROPES ….. CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT BY RABESQUE … But DOE DUCKS!!! ……"

JIVE: "Wear him out!"

GHEORGHE: "Doe on the Comeback … TILTAWHIRL … NO WAIT!!! RABESQUE CATCHES HIM ……. TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!!"

JIVE: "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! OUT OF NOWHERE!"

GHEORGHE: "WHAT A MOVE BY JEAN RABESQUE!"

JIVE: "No!!!"

GHEORGHE: "Jean Rabesque IS NOW LOCKING ON THE FIGURE FOUR ONCE MORE!!! JOHN DOE IS NOT MOVING ….. HIS SHOULDERS ARE ON THE MAT!!! ONE …….. TWO …….. THREEEEEEE!!!"

(SFX: Bell rings)

JACOBS: "Here is your winner and the first New ERA TELEVISION CHAMPION… JEAN RABESQUE!!!"

(CUEUP: ‘Shapes of Things' by the Jeff Healey Band as Rabesque raises his Television Championship in the air as he climbs up on a turnbuckle to show the crowd.)

(CUTTO: Doe's face as he holds his head and stays lying in the ring. Rabesque goes from turnbuckle to turnbuckle rising his Television Championship.)

GHEORGHE: "What a match! A spectacular display by John Doe and Jean Rabesque. Man oh man! For those who thought that this was going to be an absolute slaughter by Jean Rabesque …. All we can say is I hope that this soothed your fears!!"

JIVE: "We need to find someone to take away that title STAT! Where is Juliet Marceau when I need her!! Fire Rabesque or something!!!"

GHEORGHE: "Ladies and gentlemen we will be right back with our main event …. The FATAL FOURWAY BATTLE ROYAL FOR THE NEW ERA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!"
