[ Greensboro Coliseum ] Greensboro, North Carolina



PRESENTS ....

(FADEIN: The ring as Juliet Marceau is standing in the ring with Carl Jacobs. She is holding the World Heavyweight Championship in her hands.)

JIVE: "And there it is! What a beauty!"

GHEORGHE: "The World Heavyweight Championship is all buffed up and it is ready to be awarded to the victor of this Fatal Fourway Battle Royal."

JIVE: "I was talking about Juliet Marceau. She looks great tonight."

GHEORGHE: "I should have known."

JIVE: "Its about to begin, I can’t wait."

MARCEAU: "So this is it. For all of you sitting at home this is the event that we’ve all been waiting for for the past two months. The crowning of the very first New ERA of Wrestling WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!"

(SFX: Fans pop)

MARCEAU: "Four men have fought diligently … well, three men have fought diligently, as Larry Tact managed to somehow find his way into this match … and now they’ll have their chance to show the world just who is the most talented wrestler in New ERA."

JIVE: "See, I’m not the only person who thinks that Larry Tact doesn’t deserve to be in this match. Hell, neither does his partner, Iris.. this should be a one on one match between Marx and File!"

GHEORGHE: "Each man contributed equally to make their way through the Battle Bowl mania tournament."

MARCEAU: "I am now passing the title off to the ring attendant, who will then present the title to the winner, and World Heavyweight Champion at the conclusion of this match."

(Marceau hands the title to the ring attendant and she leaves the ring. She walks over to the announce table and takes a seat.)

JIVE: "You’re going to be down here?"

MARCEAU: "I decided that I would stick around and make sure no shenanigans took place."

JIVE: "Well its an honor to be able to call this historic event in your presence."

MARCEAU: "Why thank you, Nick."

GHEORGHE: "It definitely is an honor to have our Vice President with us for the Battle Royal."

MARCEAU: "Stop trying to butter me up, Tom .. you’re not getting a raise."

GHEORGHE: "But … but I …"

JIVE: "She said stop, Tom! Don’t worry Juliet, I’ll protect you."

MARCEAU: "I’ve heard stories about him.."

JIVE: "And they’re all true, too."

GHEORGHE: "Jesus … lets take this up to Carl Jacobs and get the Fatal Fourway Battle Royal started."

(CUTTO: The rampway as the lineup for the Fatal Fourway Battle Royal comes across the screen. CUTTO: In the ring where Carl Jacobs is standing, a smile on his face as the anticipation continues to build.)

JACOBS: "Ladies and gentlemen in the audience here in Greensboro, and for those watching at home … the following match is our main event for the night … it is a Fatal Fourway Battle Royal and is for the New ERA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!"

JIVE: "I think we all know that Peter File is going to walk out of Greensboro with that title around his waist."

MARCEAU: "File does have that certain trait that we look for in a champion."

GHEORGHE: "What trait would that be?"

MARCEAU: "Not being Larry Tact."

JACOBS: "Introducing first …"

(CUEUP: ‘Only Happy When It Rains’ by Garbage.)

JACOBS: "Hailing from Princeton, New Jersey …"

(Jonathan Marx comes from behind the curtain to a nice pop. He walks down the isle.)

JACOBS: "Standing 6’2 and weighing in at 215 pounds ……. ‘GENTLEMAN’ JONATHAN MARX!"

(Marx rolls under the bottom rope and stands in a corner.)

JACOBS: "Introducing next …"

(CUEUP: 'Tunak Tunak Tun' by Daler Mehndi. Strobe lights flash different color lights all across the arena as the fans pop.)

JIVE: "Oh Jesus, here comes the San Francisco Pride Parade."

MARCEAU: "You think that’s bad, you should see the perks he wanted in his contract."

GHEORGHE: "I don’t think that’s appropriate."

JACOBS: "Hailing from the other side of the Rainbow ….. he weighs in at 190 pounds and stands 5’6 …… EL ARCO IRIS!"

(Iris hugs some fans on the way to the ring and gets in. He flashes a warm smile at Marx before going to the opposite corner.)

JIVE: "Look at him taunting Marx!"

JACOBS: "The third competitor in this battle royal …"

(CUEUP: 'Sigur 1 (Vaka)' by Sigur Ros. Peter File walks out from behind the curtain without Lilly.)

JIVE: "Where is Lilly?!?!"

MARCEAU: "LaRoque has some false sense of equality, so he deemed that she couldn’t be at ringside."

GHEORGHE: "That seems fair to me."

JIVE: "It would, wouldn’t it.."

JACOBS: "From New Haven, Connecticut ….. he stands 6’1 and weighs in at 205 pounds ….."

(File stalks to the ring, trying to lick fans faces …)

JACOBS: "PETER FILE!"

(File gets in the ring and winks at El Arco Iris. He offers Iris a hug .. which Iris accepts.)

JIVE: "HOLY LORD!"

GHEORGHE: "Peter File and El Arco Iris are … hugging…"

(File’s hands go from Iris’ back down to his ass, which he then squeezes twice. Iris immediately backs up.)

JIVE: "OH MY."

MARCEAU: "Look at File … he’s playing this perfectly from the start."

JACOBS: "Uh … and finally…"

(CUEUP: ‘Karma’ by Diffuser.)

JACOBS: "Hailing from Manhattan, New York …."

(Larry Tact comes from behind the curtains to a sizeable pop.)

JACOBS: "He stands 6’6 and weighs 244 pounds …."

(Tact comes down to the ring and gets in the last corner.)

JACOBS: "LARRY TACT!"

JIVE: "Look at Tact thinking that he’s the shit."

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact is just standing there!"

JIVE: "Yea, but he’s acting like he’s better than everyone else in the ring."

JACOBS: "In order to be eliminated you must be thrown over the top rope and both feet much touch the floor ….. good luck, and let the best man win!"

(SFX: Bell rings.)

MARCEAU: "I have instructed any man that if he eliminates Larry Tact than he gets a nice bonus …"

GHEORGHE: "You shouldn’t be tampering with this match like that."

MARCEAU: "I can do whatever the hell I want.."

JIVE: "Yea!"

GHEORGHE: "JONATHAN MARX IMMEDIATELY RUNS AT LARRY TACT!! And TACT SIDESTEPS HIM …. MARX HITS THE ROPES AND ALMOST GOES OVER!"

JIVE: "Someone should tell Tact that he’s not supposed to move…"

GHEORGHE: "Tact looking at Jonathan Marx …. AND PETER FILE FROM BEHIND … GRABS HIS HAIR … AND TRIES TO TOSS HIM OVER THE OTHER ROPES … But Tact grabs ahold! Tact with an elbow to the stomach of Peter File … and now he PICKS UP FILE!! But here comes El Arco Iris …. AND IRIS WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO LARRY TACT BREAKS UP THE ATTEMPT."

MARCEAU: "Good. Iris is doing a fine job in the ring already."

GHEORGHE: "Jonathan Marx now coming back … and he grabs El Arco Iris … AND HE SENDS IRIS INTO THE CORNER …. Marx picking up Larry Tact … BUT PETER FILE COMES FROM BEHIND MARX …. And sends him flying with a release German suplex!"

JIVE: "They should be working together!!"

GHEORGHE: "Jonathan Marx quickly to his feet … AND HE CHARGES AT FILE!!! BUT FILE SIDESTEPS HIM!! Marx puts on the breaks … turns around …. AND GETS CLOTHESLINED TO THE MAT BY LARRY TACT! Tact now bends over to pick up Marx … AND EL ARCO IRIS KNEES HIM IN THE BEHIND AND TACT GOES DOWN!"

MARCEAU: "Iris realizing that it may take all three of them to get rid of Tact .. afterall, Tact is the biggest in the ring right now."

GHEORGHE: "El Arco Iris now working on the back of Larry Tact .. as Peter File walks over to Marx … Iris with some elbows to the small of the back of Tact … and Marx and File lock up … File with an irish whip … REVERSAL BY MARX AND FILE GOES CRASHING INTO IRIS AND TACT!! TACT GOES DOWN AND IRIS GOES OVER THE TOP!!!"

JIVE: "Aw!"

GHEORGHE: "IRIS SOMEHOW MANAGES TO SLIDE THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE AND IS BACK IN THE RING!"

MARCEAU: "That was pure instinct there .. Iris didn’t know what was going on."

GHEORGHE: "Iris to his feet … and he gets in Peter File’s face … AND PETER FILE TRIES TO KISS IRIS!!! IRIS PUSHING FILE’s FACE AWAY ….. AND FINALLY KICKS FILE’s PETER!"

JIVE: "That hurts."

GHEORGHE: "Iris measures File … and brings him to the mat with a headscissors takedown! Jonathan Marx back over to Larry Tact now … AND HE HAS TACT STRADDLING THE ROPES ….. Marx lifting one leg over …. But Tact is fighting it …… and Tact pokes Jonathan Marx in the eye breaking the attempt … Tact follows it up with a BULLDOG!"

MARCEAU: "Come on guys. Think of the bonus!"

GHEORGHE: "El Arco Iris leaves Peter File and now is waiting for Tact to turn around …. TACT TURNS … HURRICANRANA BY EL ARCO IRIS …. NO!! TACT DOESN’T LET HIM GO ……. LARRY TACT POWERBOMBS EL ARCO IRIS DOWN TO THE MAT!!! Peter File now up …. AND LARRY TACT CATCHES HIM …… LARRY TACT POWERBOMBS PETER FILE DOWN TO THE MAT!"

JIVE: "Jesus Christ. Will someone do their job?"

GHEORGHE: "Jonathan Marx to his knees ….. Larry Tact walks over to him …. AND MARX YANKS ON HIS TIGHTS AND SENDS TACT OUT THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE!"

JIVE: "YES!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact isn’t eliminated …. He went through the middle ropes."

JIVE: "Can’t we make an exception for him?"

GHEORGHE: "No."

MARCEAU: "If LaRoque weren’t in the building I would…"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact now re-entering the ring … and he locks up with Jonathan Marx …. They break and Marx hits Tact with a jab … Tact returns the favor …. And Marx fires back with a right …. Tact with a shot right back at him … and Marx hits him with a left …. And a right … and a left …. AND BRINGS TACT TO THE MAT WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!"

JIVE: "Its about damn time."

GHEORGHE: "Marx calling over Iris …. And they’re both trying to get Larry Tact over the top rope! Here comes Peter File … AND FILE RIPS IRIS FROM LARRY TACT ….. HOOKS IRIS …. NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX BY PETER FILE!"

MARCEAU: "I think File took exception to Iris using his fist to nail him down below instead of something else…"

GHEORGHE: "Peter File now standing over Iris …. AND HE IS GYRATING HIS HIPS!! Jonathan Marx finally realizing he wont be able to get Tact over the top rope lets him drop to the mat… and now he knees him in the head! Marx drags Tact to the center of the ring ….. AND HE IS TRYING TO LOCK ON THE MARXISM!"

JIVE: "SMART! By locking on the Marxism he can drain Tact of all his energy making it easier to eliminate him."

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact is fighting it …… but MARX LOCKS IT ON! Larry Tact is in the Marxism in the middle of the ring and nowhere to go! Peter File is still taunting El Arco Iris …. And Jonathan Marx is managing to keep Larry Tact in the Marxism without anyone noticing."

MARCEAU: "I’ve always liked Marx."

GHEORGHE: "Peter File turns around …. AND HE BREAKS UP THE MARXISM! Peter File with Jonathan Marx … and he rams his head into the turnbuckle pad! Marx walking from out of the corner … File coming behind him …. BUT EL ARCO IRIS CATCHES HIM WITH A CROSS BODY BLOCK … AND NOW IRIS IS POUNDING ON THE FACE OF PETER FILE!"

JIVE: "What a hypocrite! He can knock Peter’s little fajitas around, then he tries to get revenge when File makes him pay."

GHEORGHE: "Marx grabbing Iris by the mask .. he irish whips him into the ropes … SPINEBUSTER!! Jonathan Marx is up …. BUT PETER FILE NAILS HIM IN THE FACE WITH A STANDING DROPKICK … MARX GOES INTO THE ROPES AND ALMOST TEETERS OVER THEM!!"

MARCEAU: "Marx had a look of horror on his face."

GHEORGHE: "Peter File now walks over to him …doubles him over with a punch to the gut …… PUMP HANDLE SLAM by FILE! Larry Tact is getting to his feet …. And now Peter File is walking over to him …. Irish whip by File into the corner …. But Tact with a reversal and File hits the turnbuckle …. FLIPS OVER AND FILE IS STRADDLING THE TOP TURNBUCKLE …. Larry Tact now over there …. He hooks Peter File!"

JIVE: "NO!"

GHEORGHE: "LARRY TACT IS ASCENDING THE TOP ROPE AND HE HAS PETER FILE HOOKED!!! BELLY TO BACK SUPERPLEX BY LARRY TACT AND BOTH MEN HIT THE MAT HARD!!!!"

JIVE: "Will someone get rid of that troublemaker already?!"

GHEORGHE: "El Arco Iris picks up Peter File …. And body slams him to the mat …… EL ARCO IRIS IS CLIMBING THE TURNBUCKLE!!"

MARCEAU: "Unfortunate."

GHEORGHE: "Peter File getting to his feet slowly ….. EL ARCO IRIS COMES FLYING OFF THE TOP …. MISSILE DROPKICK SENDS PETER FILE INTO THE ROPES ……"

(SFX: Crowd pops)

GHEORGHE: "AND FILE GOES FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HITS THE FLOOR!!! We have our first elimination as Iris eliminates Peter File!"

JACOBS: "Peter File has been eliminated!"

JIVE: "HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR FIRST WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!"

GHEORGHE: "Jonathan Marx now waves goodbye to Peter File as File is still lying on the arena floor ….. Marx turns … AND IRIS CLOTHESLINES HIM …. AND MARX GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!! BUT HE SLIDES IN THROUGH THE BOTTOM ROPE!"

JIVE: "I don’t know what would be worse … Tact or Iris as World Heavyweight Champion!"

MARCEAU: "Tact."

JIVE: "True."

GHEORGHE: "Iris now kicking Marx while he is on the mat … and Tact has gotten to his feet and is resting in the far corner."

JIVE: "WHAT A WIMP!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact is smart. He’s had a tough match and I think its intelligent that he’s taking this time to regroup."

MARCEAU: "You would support a cheater like Tact, Gheorghe."

GHEORGHE: "What? Larry Tact coming out of the corner .. and he goes over and starts helping Iris kick Marx. Tact bringing Marx to his feet … and he is telling Iris to go up top! Tact is holding Jonathan Marx as Iris goes to the top rope again!"

(SFX: Crowd boos)

GHEORGHE: "AND PETER FILE JUST SHOOK THE ROPES AS IRIS WAS ON TOP AND IRIS HIT HIMSELF ON THAT TURNBUCKLE!!! Iris looks to be in immense pain as the referees escort Peter File back up the ramp!"

JIVE: "Make him pay, Peter!"

GHEORGHE: "MARX WITH A MULE KICK TO THE BALLS OF TACT SENDS HIM TO THE MAT …. AND NOW MARX HAS A HOLD OF IRIS’ HEAD…… DIAMOND CUTTER!!! Marx sent Iris from straddling the turnbuckle to the mat with a devastating Diamond Cutter!!!! Now Jonathan Marx picks up both Iris AND Tact …. He goes to knock their heads together … BUT THEY BLOCK IT … DOUBLE HEADBUTT TO MARX AND MARX GOES DOWN! Larry Tact picks up Marx and tells Iris to head back up to the top!!"

MARCEAU: "Iris isn’t too bright is he?"

JIVE: "That outfit is too bright if you ask me."

GHEORGHE: "Tact is yelling at Iris to nail Marx with a missile dropkick ….. BUT IRIS TURNS AROUND ….. AND HE MOONSAULTS ONTO BOTH JONATHAN MARX AND LARRY TACT!"

JIVE: "Ha! Iris basically told Tact to fuck off!"

GHEORGHE: "All three men are down in the middle of the ring …. One of these men will be the very first New ERA World Heavyweight Champion!"

MARCEAU: "And Marx or Iris will be a hell of a lot more well off once they eliminate Larry Tact."

JIVE: "And I will be more well off once Tom starts using Listerine."

GHEORGHE: "What?!"

JIVE: "Oh c’mon man .. you know your breath is kicking."

MARCEAU: "I have some Listerine strips if you want one, Gheorghe."

JIVE: "He doesn’t want one, he NEEDS one."

GHEORGHE: (Cupping his hand and breathing and then smelling) "Oh shutup. We have a match to call. Iris getting to his feet as Larry Tact rolls over to the corner.."

JIVE: "Great, Tact taking another unnecessary break."

GHEORGHE: "Iris not even noticing Tact going to the corner … and he picks up Jonathan Marx …. Iris drops him to the mat now … and IRIS IS LOCKING ON A CAMEL CLUTCH!"

MARCEAU: "Marx used the Marxism earlier on Tact, and now Iris is using the camel clutch on Marx. I guess what goes around comes around eventually."

JIVE: "So that means that all these breaks Tact is taking will come back and bite him in the ass."

MARCEAU: "Precisely."

GHEORGHE: "El Arco Iris is wrenching on Marx’s neck … and Marx’s face is getting extremely flush. Iris breaks the hold as he turns Marx over onto his back …. Iris against the ropes … and he flips over onto his back and on top of Marx!"

JIVE: "Someone should tell Iris that he’s here to wrestle, not to represent the Mexican gymnastic team."

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact is still leaning back in that corner getting a very long breather .. this may come to haunt Iris and Marx once he regains himself."

MARCEAU: "Except that money speaks volumes, Gheorghe. They’ll get rid of him for their bonus."

GHEORGHE: "That didn’t stop Peter File from being eliminated."

MARCEAU: "Don’t worry, he’ll get his revenge."

GHEORGHE: "What is that supposed to mean?"

MARCEAU: "Don’t you have a match to call? We do pay you for that, right?"

GHEORGHE: "If you call what I make ‘pay’…"

MARCEAU: "Excuse me? Do I see a pay cut in the future?"

GHEORGHE: "AND IRIS LOOKING VERY MUCH IN CONTROL! Iris finally sees Larry Tact in the corner …. And he brings Jonathan Marx to his feet …. Iris puts Marx in the opposite corner …. And now he’s pointing at TACT!"

JIVE: "He’s going to crush Larry Tact by using Marx as a battering ram!"

GHEORGHE: "Iris with the irish whip ……. Jonathan Marx REVERSES IT!"

CROWD: "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! N . E . W ! N . E . W !"

GHEORGHE: "AND LARRY TACT JUST BACK BODY DROPPED EL ARCO IRIS INTO THE FRONT ROW!!!! THANK GOD THERE WERE NO FANS THERE!"

JACOBS: "El Arco Iris has been eliminated."

JIVE: "Tact should be fined for putting the fans into danger!"

GHEORGHE: "Iris was sent flying into the corner by Jonathan Marx who reversed the irish whip, and the extended rest by Tact meant he was ready … and he sent Iris flying through the air …. As I said, thankfully the fans who were seated there had gone to the bathroom or the concession stand or something.."

JIVE: "They probably left after File was eliminated. Afterall, if my favorite wrestler was eliminated, why would I stay and watch the likes of El Arco Iris and Larry Tact? If I wanted to watch gay porn, I’d do it in the privacy of my own home."

GHEORGHE: "We are down to two men! EITHER LARRY TACT OR JONATHAN MARX WILL BE OUR FIRST CHAMPION!"

MARCEAU: "Tact has been lucky."

JIVE: "A woman of few words, have I told you how exquisite you look tonight?"

GHEORGHE: "There are some more referees coming down as they’re helping Iris over the guardrail and up the ramp."

JIVE: "For a second I thought there was a rainbow inside the Greensboro Coliseum, but then I realized it was just Iris flying through the air …"

GHEORGHE: "You’re horrible."

JIVE: "Yea, but you love me."

GHEORGHE: "Tact is looking at Marx … and Marx is looking at Tact …. AND THEY CHARGE EACH OTHER …. DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE AND BOTH MEN ARE ON THE MAT! Larry Tact sits up though! Tact shaking out the cobwebs as he gets to his feet …. Tact picks up Jonathan Marx … AND HE’s TAKING HIM OVER TO THE ROPES!!! LARRY TACT IS TRYING TO LIFT JONATHAN MARX OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!!"

(SFX: Crowd pops!)

JIVE: "THAT’S JEAN RABESQUE! What is he doing back out here!"

GHEORGHE: "The inaugural New ERA Television champion Jean Rabesque has walked out on the top of the rampway and the fans are congratulating him again … and LARRY TACT DROPS MARX ON THE SPOT AND STARES AT RABESQUE …."

MARCEAU: "Now’s your chance Jonathan. Take him out."

GHEORGHE: "Marx BEHIND TACT … HE TRIES TO DUMP HIM OVER THE TOP BUT TACT HOLDS ON!!! TACT FIGHTING OFF MARX …. And he FINALLY backs Marx up! Tact locks up with Jonathan Marx …… AND TACT IS GOING FOR THE HUMBLING ……. BUT MARX ROLLS UP TACT …"

JIVE: "This isn’t a pinfall match …. It’s a battle royal, Marx!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact kicks out easily …. And he’s quick to his feet … Marx gets to his knees …. AND TACT TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A KICKSWING DDT!!!"

JIVE: "Look at Rabesque … he is giving Tact a golfer’s clap!"

GHEORGHE: "Tact flashing Rabesque a quick glance .. but he doesn’t leave himself open like earlier. Tact picking up Marx again … AND TACT LOCKS ON A SLEEPER!"

JIVE: "Tact trying to get even more rest .. jeez, does he have a smoker’s endurance?"

MARCEAU: "Apparently he doesn’t believe he can’t keep up with the likes of Peter File, El Arco Iris and Jonathan Marx."

GHEORGHE: "Tact is still in there, Iris and File are not."

MARCEAU: "Yes, but whose fault is that? Iris unceremoniously eliminated File, and Marx had more to do w/ Iris’ elimination, not Tact. Tact was resting both times!"

GHEORGHE: "Jonathan Marx reaching for the ropes … and he’s got them.. but this isn’t a regular match so Tact keeps the hold on! Marx is slowly backing Tact into the corner ….. he has Tact in the corner …. AND HE DRILLS TACT INTO THE CORNER AND TACT RELEASES THE SLEEPER! Marx stumbles out of the corner to the center of the ring ….. TACT COMES OUT QUICK ….. BUT MARX CATCHES HIM WITH A GOURDBUSTER!!!!!"

JIVE: "That’s it! Now toss his sorry ass over the top rope and claim your role as the rightful New ERA World Heavyweight Champion!"

GHEORGHE: "Marx is calling for the Marxism AGAIN!!!"

MARCEAU: "If Tact can get a breather, then so can Marx. He has my approval."

GHEORGHE: "Jonathan Marx trying to lock on the Marxism… BUT MARX TRIPS OVER TACTs LEG AND HE FALLs TO THE MAT!"

JIVE: "This match is taking its toll on both men."

GHEORGHE: "Jonathan Marx lying on the mat right next to Larry Tact and both men are breathing heavily. Jonathan Marx is trying to move .. and he’s crawling over to the ropes … Tact is still on his back."

MARCEAU: "Come on, Jonathan.."

GHEORGHE: "MARX IS UP ON HIS FEET AND HE IS POINTING TO TACT AND THEN MOTIONS THAT HE IS GOING TO ELIMINATE HIM! Marx walks over to Tact …. BUT TACT POKES MARX IN THE EYES!! Tact gets to his feet!!"

JIVE: "HE WAS FAKING IT!"

GHEORGHE: "MARX TURNS AROUND … AND TACT WITH A T-BONE SUPLEX!!!! JONATHAN MARX IS LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!! LARRY TACT IS NOW GOING UP TOP!!!"

JIVE: "BREAK RING ROPES! BREAK!"

GHEORGHE: "LARRY TACT POINTS AT JEAN RABESQUE ……. DIVE TO BLUE! DIVE TO BLUE!!!! LARRY TACT NAILED THE TOP ROPE ELBOW DROP!! Larry Tact sits up …"

MARCEAU: "Please don’t…."

GHEORGHE: "Larry TACT PICKS UP JONATHAN MARX AND BRINGS HIM OVER TO THE ROPES!!!"

MARCEAU: "Jesus no…"

(SFX: Crowd pops huge.)

GHEORGHE: "AND LARRY TACT SENDS JONATHAN MARX OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HE GOES TO THE FLOOR!!! JONATHAN MARX HAS BEEN ELIMINATED AND LARRY TACT IS THE FIRST NEW ERA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!"

(SFX: Bell rings)

JACOBS: "Jonathan Marx has been eliminated …. The winner of the Fatal Fourway Battle Royal and the FIRST NEW ERA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION …… LARRY TACT!"

MARCEAU: "This is awful. I can’t believe it. I gotta get out of here before I do something …"

(Marceau drops her headset and walks up the ramp. When she gets up the top she looks at Rabesque and sneers at him.)

(CUEUP: ‘Karma’ by Diffuser.)

GHEORGHE: "The ring attendant is in the ring now with the New ERA World Heavyweight Championship …. And Larry Tact looks EXHAUSTED! WHAT A MATCH!!!"

JIVE: "I can’t believe it … Larry Tact is our World Heavyweight Champion. My fears have come true."

GHEORGHE: "Juliet’s gone, Nick."

(SFX: The fans get quiet as Jean Rabesque starts walking down to the ring.)

GHEORGHE: "WHAT IS THIS?? JEAN RABESQUE IS WALKING DOWN TO THE RING … his TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP IS ON HIS SHOULDER.."

JIVE: "Great … we get to see both of these undeserving champions together…"

GHEORGHE: "RABESQUE ENTERS THE RING and HE AND TACT ARE STARING EACH OTHER DOWN!! RABESQUE IS NOSE TO NOSE WITH LARRY TACT!"

JIVE: "Maybe they’ll both burst into flames and we can give the titles to John Doe and Jonathan Marx."

GHEORGHE: "RABESQUE EXTENDS HIS HAND! LARRY TACT SHAKES JEAN RABESQUE’s HAND!!"

JIVE: "I’m sure Juliet Marceau is in the back slitting her wrists as we speak."

GHEORGHE: "Jean Rabesque slaps the World Heavyweight Championship that is hanging from Tact’s shoulder and he exits the ring …."

JIVE: "Thanks for wasting our time, Jean."

GHEORGHE: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ….. Jean Rabesque is our brand new Television champion … AND LARRY TACT HAS DEFEATED JONATHAN MARX, EL ARCO IRIS and PETER FILE TO BECOME THE FIRST EVER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! Ladies and gentlemen we are out of time … thank you for joining us LIVE from GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA for this title-crowning edition of RAUCOUS!!!"

(FADEOUT: As Larry Tact is walking to each corner of the ring and lifting the New ERA World Heavyweight Championship high into the air. Fade to black on the World Heavyweight Championship.)
