[ Crisler Arena @ UofMichigan ] Ann Arbor, Michigan



PRESENTS ....

(FADEIN: The control room in the Crisler Arena. Trevor Cane busts through a door and looks into the darkness.)

CANE: "I know you’re lurking somewhere. Somewhere in the darkness. I will find you. I will shed Light into your soul and expose your deepest secrets."

(Cane flips on a light, but the room is empty.)

CANE: "Our paths will meet at Destrucity."

(CUTTO: Ringside.)

JIVE: "THE MESSENGER IS SEARCHING FOR THAT FIGURE!"

GHEORGHE: "But what does he mean their paths will meet at Destrucity?? Is Trevor Cane accepting Juliet Marceau’s ULTIMATE Surprise’s challenge???"

JIVE: "Revenge is a bitch, Tom .. and Cane is looking to get some on the ULTIMATE Surprise!"

GHEORGHE: "Ladies and gentlemen, we’re going to have some re-arranging of schedules as I’ve just received word that neither Alex Borden nor Mindkiller have entered the building yet. Although we promised that match next, we’re going to go ahead and move on to our next match, Suicide and Nightmare."

JIVE: "I guess we’ll have to wait a little bit longer for that match then.."

(New ERA World Heavyweight Champion Larry Tact comes through the curtains as the arena explodes. He walks down to the ring with a mic in one hand, and the World Heavyweight Championship in the other.)

GHEORGHE: "THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IS COMING TO THE RING!"

(Tact enters the ring and puts the title over his shoulder.)

TACT: "Well, I can't say you all shouldn't have seen it coming. I mean, all of you wanted it. All the people backstage wanted it.... the fall of the rainbow. The DEFEAT of.... El Arco Iris."

(Crowd cheers at the mention of Iris' name. Tact grins.)

TACT: "And that's JUST what I gave you. I stepped into the ring and made my mark. I made him SUBMIT."

(Crowd gives a mixed reaction. Tact leans against the ropes.)

TACT: "Granted, there was a little added excitement that I didn't expect. Yeah, I bet Juliet Marceau THOUGHT.... no, HOPED that I would fall into the trap set by her little mystery courier. But honestly, that person, whoever it was, got put in a bad situation. Let's take a look, shall we?"

(Tact makes a motion with his hands, and on the screen comes a clip from last RAUCOUS.)

GHEORGHE: "WAIT A MINUTE …. SOMEONE IS RUNNING DOWN THE RAMPWAY!"

JIVE: "Who is it?!"

GHEORGHE: "A PERSON DRESSED IN ALL BLACK SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! El Arco Iris turns around ….. AND GETS NAILED WITH A SUPERKICK!!!! IRIS IS DOWN! IRIS IS DOWN!"

JIVE: "Hahahahaha!"

GHEORGHE: "This person in black slides out of the ring and is running back up the rampway! The fans here are LIVID!"

(SFX: Crowd heat)

JIVE: "Tact is coming to!"

GHEORGHE: "Larry Tact is looking up and around .. and HE SEES EL ARCO IRIS LAYED OUT!"

(Clip cuts out and shows Tact in the ring again.)

TACT: "Now I don't know WHY Miss Marceau even THOUGHT she could rely on that person. But CLEARLY, that person couldn't STAND El Arco Iris' constant MOCKING of New ERA of Wrestling, via its World Heavyweight Champion. Really, the blame for that incident should fall on none other than.... El Arco Iris. If he hadn't been dancing around the ring, as if he'd ALREADY won this title... (holds up World Heavyweight Championship).... if he hadn't let his GREED get the better of him, then Marceau's little puppet of the week might not have cut its strings and attacked Iris. Deservedly. NO matter, though... because we all know what the end result would have been anyway....."

GHEORGHE: "LARRY TACT PUTS ON THE BOW AND ARROW THAT HE CALLS THE TACTFUL SURRENDER!!! TACTFUL SURRENDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! EL ARCO IRIS IS PASSED OUT!"

(SFX: Bell rings. Cut back to Tact, as the crowd gives some heat.)

TACT: "I don't care WHO you are. YOU ALL better understand what is happening, HERE and NOW. I may refer to things from the past, but make NO mistake that I LIVE in the present... and I am SHAPING THE FUTURE. I AM the NEW ERA of wrestling. NOT Jean Rabesque or Chaos.... warriors of their time, THE PAST. NOT Suicide.... a warrior in his own right, but one who like the other two, has made his mark in the past. NOT the present. El Arco Iris, Smith, Borden.... they're the ones who will rise up, yes. Even a guy like Troy Douglas. But I will show you, each week, how they will come up SHORT.... cuz they are NOT the NEW ERA. They are NOT Larry Tact.... and I am. And in the coming weeks, you'll all see how that.... is SIMPLY... TACTILIZING!"

(Larry Tact tosses the mic to the apron and holds the World Heavyweight Championship over his head. He steps through the ropes and walks up the rampway as the fans air their feelings.)

GHEORGHE: "The World Heavyweight Champion .. is letting is feelings out…"

JIVE: "I .. I can’t say it. I won’t allow myself to say it."

GHEORGHE: "Say what, Nick? That Tact is starting to grow on you? It would seem from his actions the past few weeks that he’s becoming more of your type.."

JIVE: "We need to get to the next match."

(CUTTO: The rampway, as the lineup for the next match comes on the big screens.)

JACOBS: "The following match is scheduled for one fall and has a thirty minute time limit …. Introducing first …."

(CUEUP: 'The Elements' by Deadsyi. A white light shows on the big screens with Nightmare’s shadow in them. He then walks through the curtains the same time his shadow comes "closer" to walking through the big screens. He walks to the ring.)

JACOBS: "He hails from the Deepest Parts of your Dreams … standing six foot four and weighing 243 pounds ….. NIGHTMARE!"

JIVE: "I do NOT envy Nightmare right now … having to take on Suicide this close to Destrucity … this match won’t be pretty."

(CUEUP: ‘Woodpecker from Mars’ by Faith No More as the lights dim… Suicide steps onto the rampway .. his mask is still red and black with horns … except this time his ring attire is all red, with the snake tattoo black.)

GHEORGHE: "What has been going on lately with Suicide!"

JACOBS: "And his opponent… from the Bronx, New York… he stands six foot three and weighs 231 … he is the MAN … the MYTH … the LEGEND ….. SUICIDE!"

(SFX: Bell rings.)

GHEORGHE: "Suicide looks ready to go here as Nightmare is cautiously walking around the ring.."

(SFX: A loud buzzing noise..)

JIVE: "OH… MY… GOD."

(From the ceiling, a steel cage slowly lowers itself down.)

GHEORGHE: "A STEEL CAGE IS BEING LOWERED FROM THE RAFTERS!!! NIGHTMARE IS STARING UP AT THE CAGE AND IS IN TOTAL SHOCK!"

JIVE: "Things are about to pick up … for the worse, I’m afraid."

GHEORGHE: "Nightmare turns around and watches as the steel cage lowers to the ground … he turns back to face Suicide … AND SUICIDE WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT SENDS NIGHTMARE INTO THE CAGE!! Suicide now with Nightmare’s head … AND HE DRAGS IT ACROSS THE STEEL SIDE! Nightmare is holding his head!"

JIVE: "The referee is over pleading with someone to ask them to raise the cage back up!"

GHEORGHE: "Nightmare is already showing signs of blood!"

JIVE: "Flesh and steel aren’t a pretty pair!"

GHEORGHE: "Suicide grabs Nightmare … SUICIDEDRIVER! Suicide making no effort for a cover … as he drags Nightmare over to the corner.. Suicide grabs the legs of Nightmare…. AND SLINGSHOTS HIM INTO THE CORNER! NIGHTMARE’s HEAD JUST HIT THE CAGE AGAIN AS HE FALLS BACK TO THE MAT!"

JIVE: "Nightmare is about to become a figment of our imagination!"

GHEORGHE: "The referee has given up all hope of trying to get the cage raised, and now he is trying to tell Suicide not to use the cage to his advantage!"

JIVE: "A little too late for that, I think."

GHEORGHE: "Suicide bringing Nightmare to his feet as Nightmare has blood running down his face … Nightmare with a knee to the stomach! Nightmare now with Suicide’s head … AND HE SENDS SUICIDE INTO … NO! SUICIDE WITH AN ELBOW! Nightmare turns around holding his nose …. AND SUICIDE WITH A DROPKICK SENDS NIGHTMARE INTO THE CORNER!"

JIVE: "Right when Nightmare thought he was going to have his turn.."

GHEORGHE: "Suicide in the corner now .. and he is driving KNEE after KNEE into the face of the slouched Nightmare! The referee over to check on Nightmare … but Suicide isn’t giving him the chance!! Suicide brings Nightmare into the middle of the ring ….. Suicide picks him up … JUMPING TIGERBOMB!!!"

JIVE: "And Suicide still not trying to pin Nightmare!"

GHEORGHE: "Suicide walking around the ring, dragging his fingers across the cage … The referee is shaking his finger at him telling him not to use the cage … Nightmare very slow to get on his feet as Suicide walks back over to him … and NIGHTMARE WITH A QUICK GRAB AND HE BRINGS SUICIDE TO THE MAT! Nightmare on his feet now … Suicide back up .. Nightmare clotheslines him back down! Suicide up and charging at Nightmare …. AND NIGHTMARE BACK BODY DROPS HIM INTO THE STEEL CAGE!! Suicide hits the cage then hits the mat!"

JIVE: "Nightmare is looking for the door to get out of the cage … except this cage HAS NO DOOR!"

GHEORGHE: "Nightmare is TRYING TO CLIMB UP THE CAGE! Suicide is on his knees and he is looking around for Nightmare who is halfway up the cage now … Suicide runs over and grabs his foot! NIGHTMARE IS SWINGING AROUND HANGING ON TO THE CAGE BECAUSE HE LOST HIS FOOTHOLD!"

JIVE: "That doesn’t look to be a pleasant drop!"

GHEORGHE: "SUICIDE YANKS ON THE FOOT OF NIGHTMARE ONE LAST TIME AND NIGHTMARE FALLS AND HITS THE RING ROPES! Nightmare has a look of pure pain on his face as he is straddling the top rope! And he finally falls to the mat!"

JIVE: "Nightmare’s already had one concussion in New ERA … and now it looks like we’ll be covering his funeral costs, too."

GHEORGHE: "Suicide locking the legs of Nightmare and he has him locked in a Boston crab. The ref is asking Nightmare if he wants to submit … as Nightmare is in tremendous amount of pain. I’m surprised he’s still conscious, Nick!"

JIVE: "I think he’s still in shock.. afterall, he wasn’t expecting a steel cage to be lowered!"

GHEORGHE: "The blood is really starting to come down Nightmare’s face as he is trying to reach the ropes… he is a few inches too far away as Suicide has his fingers locked and is riding the Boston Crab."

JIVE: "I don’t think Nightmare is going to give up with the Crab, though .. Suicide is going to have to try something else."

GHEORGHE: "I think Suicide must have sonar hearing as he releases the Crab … Suicide picks up Nightmare ….. Looks like he’s going for a body … OH MY … SUICIDE JUST LAUNCHED NIGHTMARE FACE FIRST INTO THE STEEL CAGE!!! Nightmare hit the cage and is now slumped in front of the corner! Suicide now lying him flat on the mat …. AND HE’s CLIMBING TO THE TOP TUNRBUCKLE … wait .. what is he doing? Suicide is now grabbing on to the sides of the steel cage and planting his fee…"

(SFX: Loud buzzing again.)

JIVE: "THE CAGE IS BEING RAISED!!! SUICIDE SECURED HIMSELF AND NOW HE’s BEING RAISED WITH THE CAGE!"

GHEORGHE: "What the hell is he doing?!?!"

JIVE: "Look at the ref … he’s unsure of what to do … so he’s COUNTING!"

(SFX: Huge crowd pop.)

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

GHEORGHE: "SUICIDE HAS JUMPED OFF THE CAGE THAT WAS AT LEAST 20 FEET IN THE AIR AND NAILED A LEG DROP ONTO NIGHTMARE!!!"

JIVE: "I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! WHAT A MANUEVER!!!"

GHEORGHE: "The cage was halfway to the top and Suicide JUMPED OFF!!!! SUICIDE WITH THE COVER …….. ONE …………… TWO ……………….. THREE!!!"

(SFX: Bell rings.)

JACOBS: "The winner of this match ….. SUICIDE!"

JIVE: "There was no way Nightmare was kicking out after that!"

(SFX: Crowd pops again as all heads turn to the rampway.)

JIVE: "CHAOS IS RUNNING DOWN THE RAMPWAY AS SUICIDE IS PICKING NIGHTMARE UP FOR MORE PUNISHMENT!!!"

GHEORGHE: "AND HERE COME A TON OF OFFICIALS AND REFEREES RIGHT DOWN AFTER HIM!"

JIVE: "Chaos slides into the ring and charges at Suicide … BUT SUICIDE DROPS TO THE MAT AND CHAOS NAILS NIGHTMARE IN THE HEAD WITH A CHAIR! Suicide slides to the outside as the ring fills up!"

GHEORGHE: "Chaos is pointing at Suicide and they are jawing back and forth with each other …. AND NOW CHAOS TURNS AROUND AND SEES NIGHTMARE …. CHAOS WITH NIGHTMARE … AND HE PUTS HIM IN THE PYTHON-LOCK!!!"

JIVE: "That modified Cobra Clutch puts a lot of added pressure on the throat!"

GHEORGHE: "CHAOS IS WRENCHING BACK ON NIGHTMARE AS THE SECURITY AND REFEREES ARE TRYING TO GET HIM OFF!!"

JIVE: "This is INSANE! Someone’s gotta do something about those two … now others are being subjected to their hatred!"

GHEORGHE: "SECURITY IS TRYING TO PULL CHAOS OFF OF NIGHTMARE … and finally Chaos releases the hold … Nightmare IS OUT!"

(SFX: Crowd pops.)

GHEORGHE: "AND CHAOS IS ATTACKING THE SECURITY MEN AND TOSSING THEM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! The ring clears as Chaos is attacking anyone in the ring …….. AND HE GOES BACK AND PUTS NIGHTMARE IN THE PYTHON-LOCK AND HE IS SCREAMING AT SUICIDE!!!"

JIVE: "Nightmare is turning BLUE!"

(All of a sudden New ERA President Marcus LaRoque runs down to the ring with three more security guards and a bunch of medics with a stretcher.)

GHEORGHE: "MARCUS LaROQUE IS NOW IN THE RING …. AND HE’s YELLING AT CHAOS TO RELEASE THE HOLD! CHAOS IS REFUSING!"

LaROQUE: "RELEASE THE HOLD NOW, CHAOS! NOW OR I WILL SUSPEND YOU!"

CHAOS: "NO! Not until I hear it break, LaRoque! NOT UNTIL SUICIDE HEARS IT BREAK!"

JIVE: "OH MY GOD HE IS GOING TO TRY TO SNAP NIGHTMARE’s NECK! Marcus LaRoque is now telling the guards ….. TO USE THEIR STUN GUNS ON CHAOS!"

GHEORGHE: "One of the guards uses the stun gun and JABS IT INTO CHAOS’ ARM…. BUT CHAOS ONLY BECOMES ENRAGED AND NOW HE IS BENDING EVEN HARDER!!!! SOMEONE STOP HIM BEFORE HE COMMITS A FELONY IN THERE!"

JIVE: "Another security guard now jabs him in the arm with the stun gun … AND CHAOS STILL ISNT RELEASING THE HOLD!!! FINALLY TWO OF THE GUARDS STUN HIM AT ONCE AND CHAOS RELEASES THE HOLD!!!!"

GHEORGHE: "Security is trying to hold Chaos at bay while the medics rush into the ring and try to get Nightmare onto the stretcher … and Chaos is yelling to Suicide that that will be him at DESTRUCITY!! The medics are rushing up the rampway with Nightmare ….. ladies and gentlemen, what we have just seen is a heinous, heinous act … and I’m hoping that something, ANYTHING, is done tonight to protect the rest of our roster! We have to take a commercial break … but when we come back …. Mindkiller and Alex Borden are SCHEDULED to appear … but we still haven’t heard any word on their arrival yet.."

JIVE: "This is awful … I hope he’s alright."
