Coming LIVE from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland Ohio
We're presented with the opening video package of WFWF Loaded, showcasing the WFWF talent and their variety of spectacular moves. Following this we're brought to a roaring, live audience with a plethora of pyro exploding at the stage. We're then brought to ringside with Matthew Werner and Matt Steel.
Matthew Werner: Welcome Folks to WFWF Loaded live from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland Ohio
Matt Steel: And tonight we have some big matches for all those watching, and hey, who wouldn’t be watching?
Matthew Werner: Tonight we continue the road to crowning a new WFWF Heavyweight Champion with the final two quarter final matches.
Matt Steel: So let's get started.
We open the show with Tsunami and Kronic already in the ring. The two men tie up and Tsunami quickly takes over, only to get hit with a back suplex by Kronic. Kronic begins to stop on Tsunami and then drops an elbow. Kronic does the facewash a couple times, then picks up Tsunami again and goes for a German suplex. Tsunami rolled out and lifted Kronic up for an Electric Chair drop, which Kronic turned into a Victory Roll.
… 1 …
… 2 …
Matthew Werner: Kronic is in control here
Matt Steel: Anybody else notice the traditional jobber entrances?
Kick out at two by Tsunami. Kronic lifts him up and ties up again, only to get an elbow to the face and dropped with a DDT. Tsunami mounts Kronic and pounds on Tsunami’s head, knocking him out cold. Kronic picks up Tsunami and knocks out The Dead End!
… 1 …
… 2…
… 3 …
Matthew Werner: Another big win for Kronic, this guy looks to be something special Matt.
Matt Steel: He decimated Tsunami Matthew.
Trace Demon is shown backstage in his office, talking on his phone to an unknown source.
Trace Demon: Yeah, as long as you get the job done. Of course… well if they don’t respect me yet then they will have to learn… trust me, my master plan is just beginning.
The entire arena goes black, then the cracks of Thunder and Lightning, along with the violin starts to fill the speakers and it abruptly stops. The arena lights come on, but the tron lights flicker with the beats of Miseria Cantere.
Keri Thames: The following match is scheduled for One Fall. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 230 pounds, Yukio Blaze.
Matthew Werner: And here comes Yukio Blaze for our third quarter final match.
Matt Steel: This could be a close match. I’m not promising it will be great, but it will be close.
Yukio Blaze comes out after a few seconds, with the crowd completely behind him. Yukio walks halfway down the ramp, following with him dropping to one knee to look over the crowd. Yukio kips up, then slides under the ring ropes, followed by him rolling up in the center of the ring as he crosses his arms and gestures devil horns with his right hand, while having his left fist clinched, as the song stops on, "YOU ARE NOW, ONE OF US".
An electronic yet tribal percussion line suddenly shakes the sound system, the entrance of "Unorthodox Manifesto". This repeats over several times, the thunderous crash of the music jolting everyone in their seats. Then, at what looks to be the point of sudden and harsh impact, a distortional descent tears through the line, flowing directly into the song itself. Calvin Lee follows and makes his way on to the entrance stage.
Keri Thames: And his opponent, the WFWF International Champion, Calvin Lee.
Matthew Werner: There’s only one man holding gold at the moment in the WFWF, and it is this man, Calvin Lee.
Matt Steel: He wants to focus on the match at hand, not his title belt.
As he walks down towards the ramp, in true Anointed fashion, gold sparks shoot up from the stage. After walking to the top of the ramp, he is consumed entirely by the pyrotechnics.The pace of his music suddenly picks up, prompting the sparks to cease fire and Calvin Lee to let out a primal scream and pose on the ramp.He walks down further for a moment, then locks into his pose once more. Following the even sharper turn towards speed of his music, the sparks once again begin to fly, this time lower on the apron.After several moments, the pyro ceases and Calvin Lee runs into the ring. Upon entry, he scans the area. Moments later, Calvin Lee walks over to the ropes and ascends to the middle turnbuckle. He poses for a brief second. Calvin Lee leaps down from the turnbuckle and prepares for his match.
Calvin gives the ref his belt as Blaze cracks his knuckles. After a few moments, the ref sounds the bell and the match starts. Calvin wants to lock up, so Blaze goes along with it. Calvin over powers Blaze to the mat with the test of strength, but Blaze somehow over comes and gets back up to kick him in the gut, followed with a snap suplex. Blaze quickly ups the ante by delivering the pendulum elbow right to Calvin's chest. Blaze covers Lee.
… 1 …
… 2 …
Matthew Werner: Blaze nearly got the win right there.
Matt Steel: But he didn’t, you shouldn’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Blaze picks Calvin up and is calling for a rebound move. Yukio whips Lee into the ropes, but Lee counters back at him with a flying forearm smash. Blaze holds his face while Lee gets back to a vertical base. Lee is favoring his elbow as the impact to Blaze face was just that, an impact force. Lee walks to Blaze and starts working at his newly rehabilitated right knee and stomps away at it. Lee then locks in a figure four as Yukio is screaming out in pain.
Matthew Werner: And Calvin locks in the Figure Four. Could it all be over for Blaze?
Matt Steel: Told you not to count those chickens.
Blaze is nowhere near the ropes, but Lee is and he gets the leverage by holding onto the ropes. The ref ask Blaze if he wants to quit, but is yelling out no. Lee continues holding onto the ropes, when the ref sees this and makes him break it up, 1........2..........3.........4.....Lee lets go right before 5.
Matthew Werner: Calvin Lee using dirty tactics to try and get the win.
Matt Steel: You say dirty tactics, I say smart tactics..
The crowd starts to boo up a storm when Calvin calls for the end. Yukio reaches up to his feet with the help of the ropes, when Calvin comes from behind to deliver a chop block. Calvin once again gets Yukio to a vertical basis when he tried to drop him with DDT, but Blaze countered it into a northern lights suplex, but was unable to make the bridge pin.
Matthew Werner: That looked like it could of seriously hurt Lee.
Lee stays down on the mat trying to reach his back in pain, when Blaze gets a burst of adrenaline, hops on the top rope, and delivers the very rare 360 Shooting Star Press. Blaze holds his knee while pinning.
… 1 …
… 2 …
… 3 …
Matthew Werner: And it’s all over, Yukio Blaze gets the win and continues in the tournament.
Matt Steel: Both men put on their best performance, but Blaze walks away with the win.
In the locker room area, Kronic is shown pacing about nervously in front of a door which is labeled “Women‘s Locker Room“ in black lettering. A few short moments pass before the door opens slowly and Tabitha Owens steps out. She shrugs slightly and gives Kronic a half smile.
Kronic: Well?
Tabitha Owens: She wasn‘t in there…
Kronic scratches his head for a second, then looks around before turning back to Tabitha.
Kronic: Hmm…she hasn‘t had her match yet, so she has to come to the locker room at some point, right?
Tabitha Owens: Yeah, you‘d think she‘d…Hey, look over there!
Tabitha points off into the direction she‘s looking and the camera floats over, showing Meg approaching the locker room with a large, black duffel back draped over her shoulder. As soon as Meg makes it to the door, Kronic steps in her way.
Kronic: Uh, Meg. Hey, I‘m Kronic and…
Meg: I know who you are. Would you mind getting out of my way?
Kronic seems a little taken aback by the harshness in Meg‘s tone. Tabitha nudges him, attempting to get him to continue on with what he was saying.
Kronic: I was just wondering if maybe we could talk.
Meg: Leave me alone, Kronic.
With that, Meg pushes past the pair and enters the locker room, shutting the door behind her. Leaving Tabitha and Kronic to exchange confused glances with one another.
"Hard Rock Hallelujah” by Lordi echoes through the arena, with the fans going ecstatic when they hear the song and see High Horror’s titantron appear. As Mr. Lordi begins to sing the chorus, Dave Williams comes out from behind the curtain, briefcase in hand. The music stops playing, and crowd is booing so loudly that Keri Thames announcing is drowned out. Dave rolls into the ring and kisses the briefcase and hands it to the ref.
Matthew Werner: Can you believe how loud these fans are booing.
Matt Steel: I’m not happy either Matthew, I couldn’t hear Keri, and you know she makes the whole thing easier.
“Bleeding Mascara” by Atreyu plays as Meg runs to the ring and stands nose to nose with Dave Williams. He smirks and raises his hands then makes a loose fist a couple times real fast and Meg slaps him across the face. He is taken aback as she stand’s triumphantly in front of him.
Matthew Werner: Williams can’t be happy about the disrespect being shown to him here.
Matt Steel: Meg shows no fear, and Williams will want to teach her a lesson here.
*ding ding ding*
Meg calls for a lock-up, Williams is hesitant. He puts out his arms and locks up with her for a moment then backs of quickly, uncomfortable. The ref and Meg both get a chuckle out of that as she goes for another tie up.
Matt Steel: What a coward (laughs)
This time Williams goes through with it and shoves her to the ground. She looks up at him with puppy dog eyes and he cowers and goes to help her up, but she kicks his leg out from under him and locks him in an inside cradle.
… 1 …
… 2 …
Kick out at two! Williams kicks out and rolls out to the floor below, trying to get his head straight. He turns around to enter the ring, but Meg lunges through the top and middle rope, taking him down. She starts hammering away at his head as the ref counts.
1….2…..3…..4…..5….6….7…
Matthew Werner: Somebody better get into the ring if we want a result.
Matt Steel: Way to state the obvious.
Meg picks Dave up and rolls him and herself into the ring and continues the assult. The ref breaks it up as Williams backs up into the corner. She runs at him in attempt of a Bronco Buster, but he rolls away. She bounces up and he hits her with a neckbreaker. She is down, holding her neck as he stares at her in awe of what he just did. He then raises an eyebrow and runs off the ropes and drops an elbow to her solar-plexus. He then starts to stomp on her stomach and legs hen she catches his foot, pulls him down into a grape-vine ankle lock. Williams is screaming in pain as he tries to flop around the ring and get to the ropes. He uses all of his upper-body strength to drag himself and her to the nearest ropes and gets the rope-break. She lets go and is standing in the opposite corner in a three point stance.
Matthew Werner: Meg is firmly in control here.
Matt Steel: He’s getting kicked around by a girl Matthew!
Matthew Werner: And what is that supposed to mean?
Matt Steel: Nothing, it sounded better in my head.
Williams works his way up to his feet as Meg charges at him with blistering speed. Dave leaps up, sending Meg crashing into the ringpost, and right to the mat. Dave grabs the ropes with both hands and jumps backwards onto the top of the turnbuckle. Dave balances himself out and shoots his arms out on either side and lets out a howl.
Matthew Werner: I wonder if he knows that stealing the taunts of a man who is on a witchhunt for him is kind of a bad idea.
Matt Steel: Matt Steel: He’s pumping up the crowd. Sue him.
Williams puts his arms down and leaps off the turnbuckle in attempt of a Shooting Star Press, but Meg rolls and Dave crashes. Meg lifts up a downed Williams and hits the Legsweep DDT! The lights go out and a chilling scream is heard across the arena. When the lights come back on both Meg and David Williams are out cold in the ring.
Matthew Werner: What the hell just happened here Matt?
Matt Steel: How the hell am I supposed to know?
Matthew Werner: Well whatever just happened this match is going to end up a draw.
Following the match the shows focus changes to a new but vaguely familiar location, a large theatre room where rows of red empty seats stand empty and closed. At the stage the curtains are folded in and taking up the centre is a plain wooden table where the lone figure of WFWF star Johnny “The Movie Man” Michaels sits starring at a single blue pill that lay on the table top.
Michaels: What is real? Is the world I know a hoax or is the world I don’t know the hoax…..more importantly which do I believe and want, I have to make a decision between the two, one where I can fade away into the life I’ve been chasing all this time or the other where I have to scrap and brawl for……for what I’ve become during that chasing time.
Michaels extends out his arm and pushes down on the blue pill with his index figure.
Michaels: One pill can decide for me, this one little pill can make the first….reality a day to day normal life……but is that who I really am? I could be greatness, I could be a chosen one rising above a sea of the unknown and the mundane……but do I want that. The place where I stood out took me in, it became my home, am I indebted to it or was I manipulated by it.
Michaels now traps the pill between his thumb and index finger and proceeds to lift it off the table.
Michaels: I need to carry on fighting and decide then if guiding those lost in that world and bringing down those who make false proclamations of their importance to it is worth missing out on………
Michaels brings the pill to his mouth and motions to swallow it before suddenly enclosing his fist around it and slam it down onto the table.
Michaels:…….my son….I have bled, I have been broken, I have fallen as far as one can go for the world that I have built now…surely this is real….
slowly Michaels begins to open his fist but before the pill can drop onto the table he flips the palm of his hand over leaving the pill sat in the center of it.
Michaels:…..but why can’t I let go?
(Michaels remains seated starring at the pill as the scene fades out.)
Matt Steel: We are getting ready for the main event this evening as Thunder will be facing......
LOVE, YOUR HATE. YOUR, FAITH LOST
Matthew Werner: Whats going on Steel. Why is Yukio Blaze theme song blasting
Matt Steel: I dont know Steel, but look who is at the top of the ramp
Matthew Werner: He's already had his match tonight. So what, he's going to continue his beef with Thunder tonight.
Matt Steel: I dont know, he does have a microphone in his hand.
Yukio Blaze: You have all seen me already compete tonight and I cam promise to you that I have no intentions of getting in the way of tonight main event. I simply came out here because I've been thinking since last week, of what Trace Demon said. He said the WFWF is not only going to get "re-branded", but he is a fan of competition. Then it hit me, he wants new and better everything in the WFWF, thus leading to the WFWF World Title Tournament. Now with that said, I have a open challenge to Trace and his Shadow Conglomerate, if you want something new, I say dont even have the WFWF World Title Match at The Spanish Inquisition a one on one match, but rather a Four Way Elimination Match. I say that because the final four men have faced each other in someway, but not all in the same match together. Any combination you come up with has already been seen, Reverend Shadow versus Saku, or Yukio Blaze versus Thunder, everyone knows that Thunder will defeat High Horror in that very ring in a few moments. But what I'm basically saying, is in the end, in the final tournament match for the World Title will be a match that has been seen already, but with a Fatal Four Way Elimination match, anything can happen. It will be the thrill of the hunt if you choose this match Trace. I can understand if you dont, but you love Originals and Competition Trace, so dont let this this opportunity slip away from you.
Oh and one last thing Trace, I call this the Big W Match. The W. doesnt mean WIN, but rather WFWF World Heavyweight Championship. Only one man will walk away with that title and I'm going to make for damn certain, that I get the World Title. Its not about Holocaust, or even a Unholy International Alliance, or even a Revolution, but rather the only thing that matters, THE UNKNOWN FACTOR.
Matthew Werner: Who does he think he is, The boss around here? He tried that.....
Matt Steel: Whoa, Werner. Slow the roll. I think Mr Blaze has something there, but its up to Trace
"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour begins to play. As the cash register sound ends and the music begins, Thunder walks towards the ring. He reaches the apron and climbs the turnbuckle, taunting the fans.
Matt Steel: There’s the next World Champion.
Matthew Werner: A little early for that, don’t you think?
Matt Steel: Nope. He’s gonna win.
All of the lights except a very dim orange one are out. The orange light is set at the top of the stage. Though vague, you can make out the outline of a man standing in the light. The PA system is blaring the overture to Hard-Rock Hallelujah. All of a sudden a series of powerful guitar chords begin to play as techno-color strobe lights flicker on and off, bright and dim. High Horror puts his arms straight up from his side. He puts his hands above his head and quickly jerks them down as a powerful medley of blue, red, and orange flames shoot up from the stage. Horror proceeds down the ramp, into the ring. Horror runs the ropes a few times then throws his fists into the air.
The bell sounds and the two men lock up. Thunder gets the best of and locks in a side headlock. This advantage is short lived as Horror powers out and sends Thunder into the ropes. He follows it up with a big boot that sends Thunder over the top rope to the floor.
Thunder quickly gets back in the ring and requests another lock up. This time he pushes Horror into the corner and hits a few hard chops before Horror moves out of the way and hits a DDT. Frustrated, Thunder rolls out onto the floor.
Matthew Werner: I really don’t think this match has got as planned so far for Thunder.
Matt Steel: Maybe he underestimated Horror a bit.
Thunder circles around outside the ring and makes the mistake of taking his eyes off his opponent. When he turns around, he is hit with a Topé con Giro that sends both men down. Horror recovers quicker and rolls Thunder into the ring. Once inside, he continues on the offensive with a series of right hands before hitting a big backdrop. He throws Thunder into the corner and charges at him, but Thunder is able to move out of the way. Horror crashes into the corner and is then hit with a short-armed clothesline.
Matthew Werner: Horror may have been a little overzealous there.
Matt Steel: But give credit to the champ. He’s recovered and looks ready to take control.
Matthew Werner: He isn’t the champ. Quit saying that.
Matt Steel: Just getting used to saying it.
Thunder immediately chop blocks Horror and hits a spinebuster. Following that, he goes back to working on the leg once again. He briefly applies an Indian deathlock but Horror is able to reach the ropes fairly easily. He then pulls Horror back into the center of the ring and signals for the figure four leglock.
Matthew Werner: It’ll be difficult for Horror to survive it if he locks it in.
Matt Steel: I agree. Yeah, I’ve really got no more to say at the moment.
Thunder is not successful in locking it in. Horror kicks him off and then rolls him up in a schoolboy.
1 . . .
2 . . .
Thunder kicks out.
He immediately tries for a clothesline but Horror ducks and hits an enziguiri. He then climbs the top rope and waits for Thunder to reach his feet. He tries to hit a splash but Thunder catches him on his shoulders, in perfect position for Thunder and Lightning, Knight hits it and makes a cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3!!!
Matthew Werner: Thunder wins! That was a close match though, but Thunder qualifies into the semi final spot.
Matt Steel: It was so close that Horror must have been able to taste victory, but tonight is Thunder’s night!
Screen fades to black.
