W*I*G Presents: New Genesis

[James E. Colvin]

*The show opens up with a video package of some of the bigger moments of 2008. After that, we're taken live to the W*I*GSphere, where after a large pyrotechnics display, Tom Bailey and Jeannie Lawless begin the show.

Tom: Hello W*I*G fans, and welcome to W*I*G's first PPV of the new year, New Genesis! 2008 proved to be a great year for this upstart company, and 2009 will only be better!

Jeannie: Right you are! I still can't believe some of the things I saw last year, and I can't to start seeing more! Let's start the show!

[James E. Colvin]

*We open on Howard Finkel and a referee holding a long chain standing in the ring.*

Howard Finkel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a chain match. The rules are as followed: both competitors will have the end of a 30 foot chain wrapped around their wrists. The chain can be used as a weapon. There will be no count outs or submissions, and the only way to be disqualified is to take the chain off your wrist. The only way to win is by pinfall.

*TNT’s music plays.* www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCX8gDW4YS0

Finkel: Introducing first, coming down the aisle, at 6 feet 5 inches, weighing 252 pounds, being accompanied by Tracy Jones, Nicole Michaels, and Talia Bell, from Superior, Arizona—TOBY NICHOLAS TUCKER, TNT.

*The crowd boos as TNT and his girls come out. He is wearing that necklace with the horseshoe tied to it, white wrist tape, black wrestling tights with “TNT” in white down his legs, and black cowboy boots with a fire design on them. The girls are wearing matching white T-shirts, black Capri pants, and white shoes. All four walk down to the ring as a lot of pyro goes off behind them. TNT walks up the steps, onto the apron, and through the ropes, while the girls walk over to a corner far from the side of the ring facing the screen. TNT walks over to the corner where the girls are as the girls climb up onto the apron. TNT takes off the horseshoe necklace and hands it to Talia.*

Tom Bailey: Now, this should be a bloodbath.

Jeannie Lawless: No shit, Sherlock! The hate between these two men has been really building up. I mean, after what TNT did to L. Rey, after the beatings they’ve given to Magnum, and what happened in Japan, this is going to be one match that will be hard to watch.

Tom: Correct, and fuck you, Watson!

Jeannie: Whoa! Where did that come from!?

Tom: That’s how you’re suppose to response to “No shit, Sherlock.”

Jeannie: If I had known that, I wouldn’t have said it.

*James “Magnum” Constance’s music plays.* www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR9WJToFsTs

Finkel: And, his opponent, coming down the aisle, at 6 feet 2 inches, weighting in at 245 pounds, from Honolulu Hawaii, by way of Detroit, Michigan—JAMES “MAGNUM” CONSTANCE.

*James “Magnum” Constance comes out to a big pop. He is wearing sunglasses, a Detroit Tigers cap, a Hawaiian shirt, yellow tropical floral design trunks, black knee pads, and black boots. He walks to the ring as some pyro goes off and enters it. Then, he takes off his cap, shirt, and sunglasses and hands them to the referee, who hands them to the timekeeper.*

Tom: Man! Magnum looks focused.

Jeannie: He also looks sexy as hell!

Tom: I’m glad to see that the seriousness of this match has not affected your libido.

Jeannie: Why thank you!

*Finkel exits the ring. The girls get down off the apron. The referee walks over to TNT and puts the chain around his wrist. Then, he walks over to Magnum and puts the chain around his wrist. The bell rings, and Magnum and TNT charge at each other. They collide and start punching each other. After a few seconds of this, TNT starts getting the upper hand. He punches Magnum into the ropes. Suddenly, Magnum grabs a length of chain and whips TNT in the back. He keeps on whipping TNT until his runs out of the ring. TNT tries to walk away, but Magnum grabs the chain and pulls it, sending TNT stomach first into the apron. TNT turns around holding his stomach. The girls run over to check on him. Magnum moves onto the apron and jumps off, hitting TNT with a diving double axe handle, knocking him into the girls, and knocking them all down. Magnum walks over to TNT, picks him up, and whips TNT into the steel guardrail. Then, Magnum charges at him and hits TNT with a running splash.*

Tom: Magnum gets the early advantage.

Jeannie: If he can keep it up and channel his anger well, then he can win this match. Of course, that’s not the only thing he can do well that way.

Tom: Jesus! Why is it always sex with you?

Jeannie: That’s just the way I am, honey.

*Magnum unleashes a flurry of punches onto TNT. Suddenly, Talia come from behind and hits Magnum in the back of the head with TNT’s horseshoe. Nicole and Tracy get up and walk over to help Talia. They each grab Magnum by his hair and slam him back first into the steel steps. Then, Nicole puts her foot into Magnum’s throat and starts choking him while Tracy and Talia punch and kick him. Suddenly, the referee exits the ring and pulls the girls off of Magnum.*

Ref: *points to Tracy* You… *points to Nicole* you… *points to Talia* And you! Outta here!

*The crowd cheers, but the girls are pissed and start yelling at the referee.*

Tom: Thank God! The referee has just thrown Tracy Jones, Nicole Michaels, and Talia Bell from the ringside area.

Jeannie: Boy, TNT ain’t gonna be happy by this!

Tom: Too bad! This should have been done before the match, before Talia attacked Magnum with that horseshoe, and before they threw him into the steps!

Jeannie: At least, that ain’t gonna happen anymore in this match.

*The girls continue to argue with the referee. Soon, some more referees come out and walk down to the ring. They grab the girls and pull them towards the back. The crowd starts chanting “Na, na, na, na! Na, na, na, na! Hey, hey, hey! Goodbye!” TNT gets up and sees what’s going on. He asks the officiating ref what’s going on, and he tells him that the girls have been thrown from ringside. TNT blows a gasket and starts arguing with the referee. Suddenly, Talia yells at TNT and throws the horseshoe at him. He turns around and catches it. Magnum gets up. TNT sees him up, charges at him, and hits him from behind with the horseshoe. He then throws Magnum against the guardrail and starts whipping him with the chain. Meanwhile, the refs have now pulled Tracy, Nicole, and Talia behind the curtain.*

Tom: Well, the girls may be gone, but their damage has been done as TNT works over Magnum.

Jeannie: Oh yeah! Magnum had all the momentum, but the girls just took it from him.

*TNT stops whipping Magnum and throws the horseshoe into the ring. He pulls Magnum from the guardrail and then whips him into the guardrail corner to the right of them. Then, TNT grabs the chain, pulls Magnum to him, and hits him with a bicycle kick. Magnum hits the floor with a hard thud. TNT picks Magnum back up, and this time whips him into the announcers table. Tom and Jeannie quickly move out of the way as Magnum lands face first onto the table. TNT then starts whipping Magnum with that chain several times. Then, he walks over to the timekeeper, pushes him out of the way, grabs his chair, folds it up, walks back to Magnum, and blasts him in the back with the chair. He throws the chair into the ring. Then, he pulls Magnum from the table and hits him with a European uppercut to the back of Magnum’s head. Magnum falls to his knees and TNT moves back a little. Then, he charges at Magnum and hits him with a spinning European uppercut to the back of Magnum’s head. Tom and Jeannie sit back down as TNT picks up Magnum and throws him back into the ring. TNT enters the ring but then moves onto the apron, making sure the chain isn’t under a rope. Magnum gets up. Then, TNT jumps onto the top rope, jumps off, and hits Magnum with a springboard spinning European uppercut.*

Tom: We’re back, and TNT unleashed a pair of Explosion Uppercuts to Magnum, one on the floor and one from the top rope.

Jeannie: Not only that but he also brought a chair into the fray.

Tom: Why would he do that!? Was the chain and horseshoe not enough!?

Jeannie: I guess not.

*TNT gets up. Then, he walks over to the cornet, gets up onto the second rope, and sits on the top turnbuckle. He waits for Magnum to get up. He slowly does, and then TNT stands up, jumps off, and hits him with a diving European uppercut. TNT gets back up, walks back to the corner, climbs up the top turnbuckle, jumps off, and hits him with a diving elbow drop. TNT then goes for a pin.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum kicks out.*

*TNT gets up onto his knees, grabs Magnum by his hair, picks him up, and slams him down to the mat. He picks up Magnum again and then slams him back to the mat. TNT does this again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. Then, TNT gets up onto his feet. He rolls Magnum over, bends over, wraps his arms around Magnum’s stomach, deadlifts him up, and hits Magnum with a bridging German suplex. The ref goes for a count.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum gets a shoulder up.*

Tom: Magnum gets his shoulder up, but it doesn’t look good for him so far.

Jeannie: That’s a shame! He’s been wanting revenge against TNT, and it looks like he won’t get it.

*TNT gets up. He grabs the chain and whips Magnum’s back a few times. Then, he uses it to pull Magnum up onto his knees. TNT takes some of the chain and wraps it around his fist. Then, he starts punching Magnum in the head with his chained fist. Then, TNT unwraps the chain from his fist and wraps it around Magnum’s head. Suddenly, TNT hits Magnum in the head with his knee. TNT holds his knee and rubs it a little. Then, he hits Magnum in the head with his knee again. TNT holds his knee again, but then he hits Magnum in the head with it again. TNT then walks over to the chair on the mat and grabs it. Then, TNT turns around, swings the chair, and smashes it over Magnum’s head. The chair folds out a little and stays on Magnum’s head. Suddenly, TNT runs to the ropes, bounces off of them, charges at Magnum, and dropkicks the chair into Magnum’s face. Magnum falls back onto the ropes. The audience lets out a sympathetic groan.*

Tom: Whoa Nelly! TNT dropkicks the chair into Magnum’s face!

Jeannie: God, I hope his nose isn’t broken!

Tom: Yeah, that will really affect Magnum’s breathing and become a target for TNT’s wrath.

Jeannie: And, most importantly, it could cause permanent damage; and he won’t look good for the rest of his life.

Tom: *sarcastically* Yeah, that’s the most important detail there.

*TNT gets up and walks over to Magnum. He removes the chair from Magnum’s head and throws it to ground, revealing that Magnum is busted open. TNT pounces on Magnum, punching him in the head several times. Then, he picks up Magnum and pulls him to the center of the ring. He uses his foot to position the chair a few feet behind him. Then, TNT picks up Magnum for a suplex and holds him. After 20 seconds, TNT drops Magnum onto the chair. Then, he rolls over onto Magnum for a pin.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum gets his shoulder.*

Tom: Amazingly, Magnum gets a shoulder up despite being suplexed onto the chair.

Jeannie: Plus, he’s been busted open and lost some blood when TNT held him up in that delayed suplex.

Tom: We knew there was going to be some blood.

Jeannie: Oh, that’s why you said “There will be blood,” before the match.

Tom: Of course! Why would think otherwise?

Jeannie: Well, I thought you were talking about the Daniel Day Lewis movie.

*TNT gets up and picks up Magnum. He whips Magnum hard into a corner, knocking himself down to the mat; and Magnum hits the turnbuckles hard, bounces off them, and falls to the mat. TNT gets up and starts laughing. The audience boos him mercilessly. However, TNT doesn’t care. He picks up the chair and cockily walks over to Magnum as he slowly gets up onto knees. Suddenly, Magnum grabs the chain, pulls TNT towards him, and hits him with a drop toe hold, causing the chair to hit the turnbuckles and TNT to hit the chair. The audience cheers, and then a “Holy Shit!” chant breaks out.*

Tom: Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Fire! Magnum pulls TNT into the corner, causing him to smack face first into the chair!

Jeannie: Son of a bitch! Now, TNT probably has a broken nose and could be permanently made ugly from him!

Tom: I’m so glad you are concerned for these wrestlers’ well being.

*Magnum gets up and sees the horseshoe. He walks over and picks it up. Meanwhile, TNT gets up. It looks like his nose is broken as pours out of it. Suddenly, Magnum charges at TNT and hits him with a running splash into the corner. Then, he grabs TNT by his hair and punches him in the face with the horseshoe. TNT yells out in pain. The audience cheers. Then, Magnum punches him a few more times. The audience cheers each time. Magnum then throws the horseshoe to the mat. He wraps the chain around TNT’s neck. Then, he whips TNT out of the corner. Suddenly, Magnum grabs the chain and yanks it down sending TNT crashing to the mat. The audience groans. Magnum walks over to TNT and picks him up in sitting position. He moves the chain up from TNT’s neck to his face and wraps the chain TNT’s head, with some of it on top of TNT’s nose. Then, Magnum pulls the chain back, pushing it against TNT’s nose. TNT screams out in pain. The audience cheers. Then, Magnum rains down clubbing forearm blows onto TNT’s head and chest.*

Jeannie: Good Lord! I think Magnum has snapped!

Tom: And, you can’t blame him. This is for TNT attacking Magnum and L. Rey after their match at Parade Of Champions! This is for stealing Magnum’s victory at Halloween Hell! This is for the attack on Magnum and L. Rey at W*I*G Gives Thanks! This is for the vicious attacks on Vindication and in Japan! TNT has had this coming to him for a while!

*Magnum continues to pull the chain back onto TNT’s nose and drop those clubbing blows to TNT. TNT continues to scream out in pain; he’s also moving around and trying to get himself out of this predicament. He manages to get his arm between Magnum’s legs and lowblows him. Suddenly, Magnum lets go of the chain. TNT lowblows him again. Magnum falls to his knees in pain. The audience boos. TNT unwraps the chain from his head and gets up. Magnum gets up onto his feet, but he’s still bent over in pain. Suddenly, TNT runs to the ropes, bounces off of them, and charges to Magnum. However, Magnum catches him with a flapjack lift into a cutter.*

Tom: Those two lowblows from TNT can’t stop the Paradise Blues!

Jeannie: Dammit! Why must these guys go low!?

Tom: They’re doing whatever it takes to win the match.

Jeannie: Yeah, but that could have some permanent injuries.

Tom: You afraid they’re not going to perform well for you.

Jeannie: Yes! No…I mean…oh, hell! That is what I mean.

*Both men slowly get up. They turn around and charge at each other. It is Magnum who gets the upperhand with a jab to TNT’s nose. Then, he hits a jab onto TNT’s chest. He soon alternates between the nose and the chest. After several jabs, Magnum hits TNT in the head with an elbow. TNT falls to the mat. Magnum then runs to the ropes, bounces off of them, runs toward TNT, and hits him with a jumping knee drop. Then, he grabs TNT by his hair and punches him in the face several times. Suddenly, TNT pokes Magnum in the eye. Magnum jumps up, holding his eye. TNT gets up and swings Magnum around. He goes for a punch, but Magnum ducks, moves behind TNT, and suddenly hits him with a jumping neckbreaker slam.*

Tom: Tigers Fan to TNT after he pokes Magnum’s eye.

Jeannie: Damn! Two lowblows and an eye poke can’t stop Magnum. I wonder what can.

*Both men slowly get up. Magnum backs into the ropes, charges at TNT, and hits him with a lariat takedown. Magnum gets up and starts stomping on TNT. However, TNT punches Magnum in the stomach. TNT gets up, runs to the ropes, bounces off of them, and charges Magnum; but Magnum stops him with a dropkick. TNT falls back into the ropes and bounces off of them. Magnum gets up and hits TNT with a high knee strike. TNT falls back into the rope and bounces off of them again. Magnum gets up, grabs TNT, and hits him with a double-A spinebuster. Then, Magnum climbs up to the top turnbuckle, jumps off, and hits TNT with a diving elbow drop. Magnum goes for a cover.*

Ref: 1…2…*TNT rakes Magnum’s eyes, causing him to get up.*

*Magnum holds his eye as TNT gets up. He charges at Magnum, but Magnum suddenly hits TNT with a jumping superkick. TNT falls to the mat, writhing around in pain, as the audience cheers.*

Tom: Sweet Samba With A Ramba! Magnum hits the Wave Goodbye right into TNT’s nose.

Jeannie: Damn! TNT is going to need a good plastic surgeon after this match.

*As TNT writhes on the mat, Magnum walks over to a corner and climbs up to the top turnbuckle. Suddenly, TNT grabs the chair and flings it at Magnum. It hits Magnum in the face and causes him to fall crotch first onto the top turnbuckle. TNT gets up, holding his nose. He walks over to Magnum, who is bent over the turnbuckle. He picks up the chair and slams it onto Magnum’s back. Then, TNT throws the chair to the mat and climbs up. He grabs Magnum and hits him with a cravate suplex from the top turnbuckle.*

Tom: Whoa Momma! TNT hits Magnum with the Natural Explosion from the top rope.

Jeannie: And, just like that, TNT may have regained control of the match.

*TNT gets up and picks up Magnum, placing himself behind Magnum. He then puts Magnum into a straight jacket hold and hits him with an X-plex. Then, TNT rolls over Magnum for a pin.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum kicks out.*

Tom: Nitro Suplex to Magnum, but it isn’t enough to keep him down.

Jeannie: Well, he did take a dropkick with a chair in face and still got up. So, it’s gonna take a lot to keep Magnum down.

*TNT gets up and picks up Magnum. He places Magnum into the ropes and whips him across the ring. Magnum hits the ropes, bounces off of them, and comes running back to TNT. TNT catches him and hits him with a flapjack lift into a European uppercut. He goes for another pin.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum kicks out.*

Tom: Magnum kicks out again, this time from the Nitro Uppercut.

Jeannie: TNT needs to use that chair, horseshoe, or chain. These are good moves, but we seen Magnum’s toughness; and I doubt this will cut it.

*TNT gets up onto his feet. Magnum gets up onto his hands and knees. TNT grabs Magnum, picks him up, and hits him a gutwrench side piledriver. TNT goes for another cover.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum kicks out. TNT slams the mat in frustration.*

Tom: Again, Magnum kicks out, this time from the Nitro Driver.

Jeannie: TNT’s getting frustrated. This could be a step in the right direction for him.

*TNT gets up. He picks up Magnum, bends him over, lifts him up in a straight jacket hold, and suddenly drops him into a sitout powerbomb. He holds Magnum there for a pin.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum kicks out. TNT yells out in frustration.*

Tom: Magnum kicks out once again, this time from the Explosion Bomb.

Jeannie: It looks like TNT’s about to explode himself.

*TNT jumps onto Magnum and unleashes a flurry of punches on him. Then, TNT gets up, grabs the chain, and starts whipping Magnum with it. Magnum tries to roll away, but TNT just keeps whipping him as he rolls. He whips Magnum at least 30 times, causing a little blood to come out from cuts on his stomach and back. Then, TNT suddenly stops to let Magnum get up. He slowly does, and TNT moves behind him and wraps the chain around Magnum’s throat. Then, TNT pulls Magnum to the ropes and throws him over the top rope, causing Magnum to be choked by the chain. The crowd boos as TNT pulls back on the chain, choking Magnum.*

Tom: Good Lord! TNT has exploded! He’s just choking the life out of Magnum.

Jeannie: Well, he’s exploded. Now, it looks like this fire will consume Magnum.

Tom: And, there are no submissions! He can go as long as he wants to!

Jeannie: That must have been a part of his plan! He made the match in Japan! He said there would be no submissions. He wants Magnum to pass out so that there will be no way for him to kick out. You may condone TNT’s decision, but you have to admit that it was a smart one.

*Magnum is thrashing around, trying to get out of this situation. TNT just keeps pulling on the chain, tighter and tighter. Magnum’s face turns red and is starting to turn purple. TNT is laughing and gloating at all of this. He leans in close to taunt Magnum. Suddenly, Magnum grabs TNT by his hair and pushes on TNT’s nose with the other. TNT yells out in pain. The audience cheers. Soon, Magnum is able pull TNT over the top rope and onto the apron. Magnum gets up onto the apron, but TNT grabs the chain and throws him off and onto the floor. Magnum hits with a hard thud, and the audience lets out a sympathetic groan. TNT gets up and gloats over what he’s done. The audience boos him mercilessly. Suddenly, Magnum grabs the chain and pulls, yanking TNT off the apron; he lands chest first onto the guardrail. The audience starts cheering wildly.*

Tom: These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty! Magnum just pulled TNT off the apron, and he landed chest first onto the guardrail.

Jeannie: “There Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty?”

Tom: I was watching Seinfeld before the pay-per-view.

*TNT falls to the floor, holding his chest. Magnum gets up and unwraps the chain from his throat. He walks over to TNT and picks him up. Then, he hits TNT with a few chops across his chest. “Woo!”’s fill the arena. Then, Magnum grabs the chain and whips it across TNT’s chest. Then, he whips TNT into the apron. Magnum gets onto the apron and picks up TNT. He wraps the chain around TNT’s chest and abdomen. Then, he reenters the ring between the top and second ropes. Magnum pulls the chain back, pushing TNT into the ropes. TNT yells out in pain. The audience cheers.*

Tom: Good Lord! Magnum has TNT tied up and pulls him against the ropes.

Jeannie: And, there are no submissions! He can go as long as he wants to!

Tom: Looks like that backfired for TNT.

Jeannie: Oh yeah! You can tell there’s some regret on making it that ruling.

*Magnum keeps on pulling the chain. TNT continues to yell out in pain. Then, TNT starts swinging his arm behind him, trying to hit Magnum’s head. Suddenly, TNT connects, Magnum lets go of the chain, TNT falls to the floor, and Magnum follows, falling through the top and second ropes. However, Magnum gets up. He quickly jumps off the apron and hits TNT with a diving knee drop. Then, he picks up TNT, unwraps the chain, and throws him back into the ring. Magnum reenters the ring. He grabs the chain and whips TNT with it a few times. Then, he grabs TNT and locks him into an abdominal stretch. *Magnum has the move locked on tight. Then, he grabs the chain with his free hand and starts whipping TNT’s chest and abdomen. TNT yells out in pain.*

Tom: Magnum has TNT in the abdominal stretch.

Jeannie: That can’t be good for TNT’s ribs and chest.

Tom: Neither can those shots with the chain.

Jeannie: And, no submission. TNT can tap or quit all he wants, but it won’t stop the match.

*TNT keeps on yelling, and Magnum keeps on whipping him with chain. Then, TNT notices the horseshoe is close by. He reaches out for it but can’t reach. Magnum doesn’t notice TNT going for the horseshoe. Soon, TNT starts getting closer and closer to the horseshoe. Suddenly, his fingers touch the horseshoe, and he’s able to flip it on its side and grab it. TNT quickly swings the horseshoe into Magnum’s head. Magnum nearly falls to the mat, but TNT grabs him, picks him up in a horizontal belly to back suplex hold, and spins him around into sit out facebuster. TNT rolls Magnum over and goes for a pin.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum kicks out.*

Tom: I don’ believe it! TNT gets out of the abdominal stretch and hits Magnum with the Chemical Explosion, but Magnum kicks out.

Jeannie: Once again, the horseshoe gives TNT a huge edge.

*Both men get up. TNT grabs Magnum from behind, picks him up onto his shoulders, and hits him with a side Death Valley driver. He then goes for another pin.*

Ref: 1…2…*Magnum kicks out.*

Tom: Explosion Driver to Magnum, but it doesn’t get the three count.

Jeannie: That didn’t work the first time, and I doubt it will work again. If he wants to win, TNT needs to use that chain.

*TNT rolls Magnum over into a sitting position. Then, he wraps the chain around Magnum’s neck and locks him into a modified crossface chickenwing with a body scissors; instead of wrapping his arm around Magnum’s neck, he pulls back in the chain.*

Tom: Modified Second Degree Burn to Magnum, with that chain around Magnum’s neck for added pressure.

Jeannie: That must feel like a second degree burn right now.

*TNT has the move locked on tight. Magnum struggles in the hold, but he can’t get out. He soon starts fading. His face turns red, but he keeps his free arm up. Suddenly, a small “Magnum” chant breaks out in the fans. It soon builds momentum, getting louder and louder. Magnum starts rolling his arm around, trying to get enough strength to get out of the hold. But, his face starts turning purple. TNT pulls back tighter on the hold and the chain. Magnum starts fading, and his arm slowly falls the mat. The “Magnum” get softer and softer, and eventually silence fills the arena.*

Tom: Much like the air from Magnum’s lungs, TNT has sucked the life from the audience.

Jeannie: This one’s over. TNT needs to just let go of the hold and pin.

*But, TNT keeps the move locked on. Now, Magnum’s turning blue. The referee checks on him and sees that he needs some air. He tells TNT to release the hold, but TNT refuses. He pleads with TNT to release the hold, but TNT tells him to “Fuck off!” Then, the referee tries to force TNT to let go of the hold by grabbing the arm holding the chain and trying to pull it off. However, TNT uses his foot to push the referee off. He staggers back. Suddenly, the referee runs back to TNT and slaps him viciously! The audience pops loudly. TNT is enraged and lets go of the chain and Magnum to get up and get into the referee’s face.*

Tom: Sweet Fancy Molasses! The ref just slapped TNT!

Jeannie: He was trying to get TNT to let go of Magnum, and it worked!

Tom: Well, I’m glad he was looking after Magnum’s well-being—he definitely needed some air. But, the referee should have thought first about that slap! Now, he may about to incur the wrath of TNT.

*TNT gets into the referee’s face and yells at him. However, the referee shoves TNT and tells him that he has to look after the wrestlers’ well-being. Pissed, TNT shoves the ref down and warns him to not touch him again. Meanwhile, Magnum starts stirring around. He coughs and unwraps the chain from his neck. Then, Magnum slowly makes it up onto his knees. TNT sees this, runs to the ropes, bounces off of them, charges at Magnum, and hits him with a bicycle kick. Magnum falls to the mat. TNT looks at Magnum and just laughs. Then, he turns his attention to the chair. TNT walks over and grabs it. As for Magnum, he starts to get back up. TNT walks over to Magnum and shakes his head. Then, he turns his attention the audience. He yells, “Look at him! Look atcha boy! He’s gonna lose!” Then, he slams the chair onto the mat a few times. The crowd boos him, but TNT just laughs. Suddenly, Magnum grabs TNT from behind, picks him up, and slams him to the mat with a high angle bridging belly to back suplex, which causes TNT to smash the chair he’s holding onto his face. Magnum holds for a pin.*

Ref: 1…2…3! *The bell rings, the crowd pops, and Magnum’s music plays!*

Finkel: Here is your winner—JAMES “MAGNUM” CONSTANCE!

Jeannie: Son of a bitch! Magnum just won!

Tom: Out of nowhere, Magnum hits a high angle bridging belly to back suplex and wins the match! Outstanding!

*Magnum lets go of TNT and gets up onto his knees. He is still coughing from earlier. The referee gets up and raises Magnum’s arm in victory. Then, Magnum slowly stands up. The crowd cheers louder. Suddenly, Tracy, Nicole, and Talia run down to the ring and attack Magnum. The referee tries to stop them, but Talia hits him with a lowblow and throws him out of the ring.*

Tom: Not again! Magnum gets the win, but Tracy, Nicole, and Talia are attacking him!

Jeannie: Damn! They won’t let him have his victory!

*Talia walks over to TNT and checks on him, while Nicole holds Magnum. Then, Tracy grabs the chair and slams it onto Magnum’s head. Magnum falls to his knees. Talia then takes the chain off of TNT’s wrist while Tracy does the same to Magnum. Then, the girls wrap the chain around Magnum’s neck. Tracy and Nicole pull on each end of the chain, choking Magnum again, while Talia unleashed a flurry of punches onto Magnum’s head. The audience boos and throws garbage at the girls.*

Tom: Goddammit! They are choking Magnum after he was being choking a few minutes ago!

Jeannie: Someone, please, anyone, come down and stop this.

*Suddenly, the boos turn to cheers because L. Rey is running from the audience. L. Rey jumps over the guardrail, jumps onto the apron, jumps onto the top rope, jumps off and over Magnum, and hits Talia with a springboard forearm strike, sending her to the outside.*

Jeannie: OH MY GOD! L. REY!!!!

Tom: L. Rey has returned and hit Talia Bell with La Espada De Damocles.

*L. Rey gets up. Tracy and Nicole let go of the chain, causing Magnum to fall to the mat, and attack L. Rey. They place him against the ropes and try to whip him across the ring. However, L. Rey doesn’t budge. Instead, he flings the girls behind him and onto the second rope. Then, he runs to the opposite ropes, jumping over TNT; bounces off of them; charges back, jumping over TNT again; and hits Tracy and Nicole with a 619, sending them flying off the rope.*

Tom: Golpeyando En La Puerta Del Cielo to Tracy Jones and Nicole Michaels!

Jeannie: He’s back, and he’s forcing us to pay Bob Dylan royalties!

*L. Rey picks up Nicole and throws her out of the ring. Then, he picks up Tracy and throws her out of the ring. As this goes on, TNT starts stirring around. L. Rey sees this and waits for TNT to get up. TNT slowly does, and L. Rey moves behind him. TNT is now up on his feet but bent over. L. Rey runs to the ropes behind TNT, bounces off of them, charges at TNT, flips over and grabs TNT, and hits him with an Unprettier. TNT lands on his face, and he quickly jumps up in pain. L. Rey grabs him and throws TNT over to top rope and to the outside.*

Tom: El Angel De Muerte to TNT!

Jeannie: That can’t be good for his nose!

*TNT writhes around, holding his nose. The girls walk over to TNT, help him up, and walk up the ramp. L. Rey then checks on Magnum. TNT and the girls are now gone. Meanwhile, L. Rey helps Magnum up. Magnum raises his hand up, and the audience applauds him as L. Rey helps him out of the ring and up the ramp.*

Tom: Magnum wins, and L. Rey has returned in spectacular fashion!

Jeannie: This match maybe over, but this feud between the group TNT and L. Rey and James “Magnum” Constance definitely is not!

Tom: I’m afraid your right! Magnum has won the battle tonight, but the war will go on.

*Cut to a promo to W*I*G’s next PPV.*

[James E. Colvin]

*The lights go out and the Colvintron turns black, and all of a sudden, red writing begins to appear.

Jon Doe...Watch Yourself....
That shadow in the corner...
That pin-prick on the back of your hand....
The erect hair on your neck....
The sense that you're not really alone.....
...That will end soon, and in its place will mark my return.

*The lights come back on, and everyone looks slightly more confused than they previously were.

[James E. Colvin]

"I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be me.
I don't wanne be me... anymo-ore."

*The guitar riff kicks in signaling Coltrane's arrival as he makes his way out. As usual he's dressed in his all black clothing. He opens his coat to show off the W*I*G World Heavyweight Championship Belt.*

Finkel: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the Wrestling's Innovative Genesis World Heavyweight Championship & it is your New Genesis Main Event for the evening. Introducing first, from Queens, New York, weighing in at 234lbs, he is the current reigning & defending, undefeated, undisputed, Wrestling's Innovative Genesis Heavyweight Champion of the World... COOOOOL~TRAAAAAAAANE!

*Coltrane makes his way on down to the ring, not looking up to acknowledge the fans. He steps up onto the apron & enters the ring, removing his coat & handing it off to a stage-hands. He takes off his belt & hands it to the official who holds it high overhead before handing it over to the time-keeper. Coltrane stands in the ring, pacing back & forth waiting for his mystery challenger.*

Jeannie: I bet it's Road Warrior Animal!

*The lights in the W*I*G-Sphere go out... The familiar sound of The Scorpions' "China White" begins to play over the PA as a series of black & white images flash up on the W*I*G-Screen.*

Wrestling's Innovative Genesis

Prepare to face the might

of

GIGANTOR MAXIMUS!

*A number of spotlights fix at the top of the ramp as some dry ice begins to pump out. The tiny man with stomps out, roaring, snarling & beating his chest. The crowd boo this crap loudly.*

Tom: Really? Gigantor Maximus?!

Jeannie: This is the challenger for the most dangerous man in all of W*I*G? I knew Colvin was a bit crazy, but now I think I might be safer signing up with EWT.

Tom: Hey, let's not go too nuts, huh?

*Coltrane, for possibly the first time since we've seen him actually starts to smile.*

The Fink: And his opponent, from The Land of the Giants, standing seven feet, eleven inches tall, weighing in at 573lbs, he is the largest man in professional wrestling, this is... GIGAN~TOOOOOOR... MAAAAAAXIIIII~MUUUUUUUS!

*Gigantor gives a roar at the announcement of his own name, he seems to be the only one. Gigantor stomps his way up the steps & onto the ring apron. He slowly raises his arms holding his chain up in the air. The lights come back on & the bell rings.*

DING-DING!

*Before Gigantor can even remove his chain, Coltrane kicks him in the gut. With the world's smallest giant doubled over, Coltrane places Maximus' head in between his legs. He hefts the "giant" up & nails him with a "SUPER DESTRUCTO BOMB"! Coltrane makes the cover...*

3!!!

*"I Don't Wanna be Me" kicks in again. But before Howard Finkel can even announce Coltrane as the winner, The W*I*G World Heavyweight Champion snatches the mic from him.*

Coltrane: THAT'S IT?! THIS IS THE BEST YOU COULD GET TO FACE ME?! THIS JOKE? Well, look here Mr. Colvin... I'M STILL STANDING! IF THIS IS YOUR BEST SHOT...

*Coltrane stops as he looks down at Gigantor Maximus. For the first time, he notices a piece of paper stuck to the front of Gigantor's trunks. he picks it up to look closely at it & sees... A Black Spot! Coltrane looks around panicked... The lights go out in the W*I*G-Sphere save for a bright spotlight on Coltrane himself. Eerie music begins to play.*

Tom: What's this?! Was Gigantor a red herring?

Jeannie: No. He's a person! God, you can be so thick sometimes.

Tom: ...

*A spot light focuses upon the stage, now covered in fog. In the center, where light can only highlight outlines appears a figure literally rising from the stage. As soon as he finishes rising, the rather tall figure walks forward and out of the obscuring fog. Oceanic blue irises lock on the champion from behind heavily dark circled sockets. As he walks forward, his gray weather beaten coat brushes against his waist sash and licks the top of his long cuff boots. Reaching ringside, he pulls himself up to the apron and then walks over to a turnbuckle pole. He lifts himself up to the top rope then steps off to land in front of it. Casting off his coat and leather Tricorn, his long & unkempt hair flows from under his faded bandanna. He eyes Coltrane, the W*I*G title, and the surprised crowd. Then he stares at Finkel who immediately goes glass eyed.*

The Fink: And the challenger.... Weighing in at 277 lbs... From the Depths of the Caribbean.... Ferhago Crow!

DING-DING!

Tom: ...I'm.... speechless...

Jeannie: ....I'm in love.....

Tom: We're about to have a SECOND title match and this time, it's another individual foreign to W*I*G! The monster known as Ferhago Crow!

Jeannie: .... Jeannie Crow? I can totally do that....

Tom: *ignoring her* This is the same man that's taken out so many other stars just for the hell of it! And now he's going to face our champion! Looks like Colvin had far more up his sleeve than Coltrane thought!

*Coltrane & Crow stand face-to-face for a moment. Neither man makes a move. Coltrane moves to take a swing at Crow. Crow side-steps it & clubs Coltrane on the back. Coltrane is surprised by the larger man's speed. He attempts a tie-up, but Crow begins to over-power him. Coltrane is forced back towards the ropes. He tries to really dig his heels in & play Crow at his own game, but he's faltering. Coltrane tries his hardest, but Crow manages to force him to back down. Coltrane disengages from the tie-up & simply stares down Crow for a moment, trying to think of a strategy that might succeed in taking him down. Coltrane runs right at Crow, who, again dodges whatever attack Coltrane was planning. Coltrane hits the ropes & Crow catches him with "Lafitte's Pride". Coltrane is knocked down by Crow's boot heel striking him right on the jaw.*

Jeannie: He's flexible too...

Tom: A backflip upper cut with his boot?! How the hell can Coltrane, resourceful as he is, combat someone that he probably never expected to even be in the same state with!

Jeannie: Wait does this mean this ghosty hulk is joining W*I*G?!

Tom: *ignoring her again* And it looks like no rest for the wicked with Ferhago going right back to Coltrane.

*Crow stomps on the downed Coltrane, but helps him back to his feet again only to whip him in to a corner. Crow follows up by nailing Coltrane with a Stinger Splash. He sets Coltrane on the top rope & hits him with another dig to the jaw before ascending himself. Coltrane resists as Crow tries to take him off the top with a Superplex. Coltrane fights back & (finally) manages to smack Crow with a punch to the face. Crow is a little bit fazed, but he continues to try to mount an offense on Coltrane. The two men duke it out for a bit on the top turnbuckle until Coltrane lands a solid punch to Crow's jaw. The undead pirate is left reeling for a moment. Coltrane seizes the opportunity & shoves his opponent over the rope & down to the floor below. Coltrane dismounts the turnbuckles & gets back inside the ring to regain his bearings somewhat.*

Tom: And with a great display of resilience by our champion to free himself from that move.

Jeannie: What a thud Crowy's body made. Think I should go give him a massag-

Tom: WHAT?!

Jeannie: Don't interrupt me! A man is down and hurt-

Tom: Look!

*No sooner has Coltrane set foot back in the ring than Crow is standing again on the outside. Coltrane incredulously cocks an eyebrow. He lies in wait for Crow to re-enter. Crow gets up onto the apron & Coltrane runs right towards him. Coltrane grabs a hold of Crow's head & hits him with a variation of "The Maxximyzer" on the top rope, effectively using the top rope to give Crow a Stunner. Crow's throat hits the top rope & he crashes back to the floor again. Coltrane quickly clambers to the top turnbuckle of the nearest ring-post. Crow is clawing his way back up again. As soon as he has managed to stand, Coltrane comes flying right off the top with a Cross-Body. He crashes into Crow.*

Tom: Both men down after that Cross Body by Coltrane. It's apparent now, at least to our champion, that he's going to have to pull out all the stops and his cunning. Perhaps a fitting punishment for all the sowing of violence and trouble he's been causing!

Jeannie: How'd I love to join that pile...

Tom: Are you going to be ANY help during this match?

Jeannie: I'm using all my mental abilities just to keep my clothes on right now.

Tom: ...wow...

*The two men begin to stand again shortly. Coltrane tries to whip Crow into the security railing. Crow reverses it & Coltrane goes crashing into the steel rail back first. Coltrane acks from the pain. Crow runs at Coltrane clotheslineing him into the crowd. Crow nimbly leaps up onto the ring apron & takes a huge leap into the crowd showing no concern for the safety of the W*I*G fans in attendance as he launches his body off the apron! Crow manages to make contact with Coltrane's head, nailing him with a flying forearm shot. Coltrane is knocked back into a few empty seats as the fans scatter. Crow stands again & slowly advances on Coltrane. Coltrane marches right back up to meet Crow head-on. The two men begin to duke it out in the middle of the seating section as more fans begin to clear an area around them. Coltrane grabs a nearby seat & flings it right at Crow who blocks it with his arm, swatting the plastic seat aside. Crow continues to make his way forward. Coltrane slips behind Crow & tries to hit him with a neckbreaker. Crow throws a few elbows backwards & manages to land one to Coltrane's temple. Coltrane releases his grip & stumbles forwards. Crow grabs Coltrane almost in a Dragon Sleeper position & tries to lift him up. It seems that Crow plans to give Coltrane "Roberts' Fortune" out on the concrete floor. Coltrane fights back though & manages to turn things in has favour by giving Crow a Suplex on the floor!*

Jeannie: That sure can't be good for Crowy's back! I think he landed on a chair.

Tom: This is the vicious streak that Coltrane is going to need to win this match. We already know he can do it, he just has to hope that he doesn't lose his nerve.

Jeannie: Or lose by countout! What's that referee doing?

Tom: I think a combination of letting us get a full match complete with a real ending and eying the girl over there selling the hot dogs.

Jeannie: Men.

*Coltrane grabs Crow by his filthy hair & drags him back towards the ring. Coltrane tosses Crow over the rail & follows him shortly afterwards. Coltrane tries to bash Crow's head against the ring-post, but Crow is able to stop him before his head meets the steel. Crow whacks Coltrane's noggin against the steel post & rolls the dazed champion back into the ring.*

Tom: This is exactly what Coltrane needs to avoid! We know him to be able to take a vicious beating but the individual he is facing has taken out about just as many victims as Coltrane himself!

Jeannie: A clash of the titans!

Tom: ...You're just going for soundbytes at this point are you?

Jeannie: Why do you think I'm featured more in the recaps?

*Crow steps up on to the apron & climbs to the top rope from the outside. Coltrane rolls in towards the post, too close for Crow to effectively land any top rope move. Crow simply jumps off the top rope. Coltrane rises to face him. Coltrane manages to lift up Crow & drop his face onto the turnbuckle in a modified Snake-Eyes move. Crow stumbles around for a moment before Coltrane nails him with a Dragon Suplex. With Crow down on the mat, Coltrane makes his way to the top rope. Coltrane turns around so he's facing into the ring, presumably aiming to hit Crow with his own Flying Dutchman, but Crow simply sits up before Coltrane can leap from the top. Crow makes his way to the turnbuckle & a disbelieving Coltrane. He grabs Coltrane by the throat & by the abdomen & gives him a huge beal into the ring!*

Tom: The strength and speed of Crow is scary.

Jeannie: As is his moves. I keep thinking poor Coltrane is going to break a bone.

Tom: I think if both of these two walk away with just a broken bone, it will be a miracle.

*Coltrane grasps at his back, but tries to stand again. Crow drags Coltrane standing again & quickly hits him with a one-armed backbreaker. Coltrane rolls over onto his front to avoid suffering a pinfall from Crow. Big mistake. Crow leans over & grabs Coltrane's arms, dragging him back up to his knees. Crow keeps a hold of Coltrane's arms & digs his foot into Coltrane's back, locking in "Bonny & Read's Bond"!*

Tom: And now Crow locks in the submission! Torquing both the back and the arms!

Jeannie: Could we have a new champion?!

Tom: Coltrane's not done yet though! Look how he's shaking his head!

Jeannie: Oh NOW the ref is paying attention.

*Coltrane is in very clear pain as Crow stretches him. The referee gets down & checks with Coltrane to see if he's willing to submit. Coltrane shakes his head. He tries to pull his arms free of Crow, but the undead pirate seems to have too strong a grip for Coltrane to break. Crow continues to lean back while driving his foot inbetween Coltrane's shoulder blades. Coltrane still refuses to give up, but one can see the pain etched on his face. Coltrane very slowly starts to rise. He gets back onto one foot &, with considerable effort, begins to push up with the other too. But Crow continues to try to force Coltrane down again. Coltrane remains on one knee. However, rather than try to stand again, Coltrane instead slips down & backwards through Crow's legs, taking Crow's arms down with him, causing Crow to trip up. Coltrane gets a few cheap stomps in on Crow before Crow himself rises again. Coltrane immediately leaps up aiming to drop Crow with a "Maxximyzer", but Crow counters it with a modified version of the "Saving Grace", harshly driving the back of Coltrane's head into the mat.*

Tom: The painful counters and their resulting explosions off the mat are utterly hard to watch.

Jeannie: At least the men doing them aren't hard on the eyes.

Tom: You've got to believe that these two are giving it their all. Coltrane to keep his title, and... Crow to break the champion!

*Rather than go for a cover, Crow lifts Coltrane up once again & begins to set him up for "Roberts' Fortune" (inside the ring this time). Crow manges to heft Coltrane up into the air, he holds him there for a while, but Coltrane begins to kick his legs a bit & this time, he manages to execute "The Maxximyzer". Coltrane is still reeling a bit from taking the "Saving Grace" so he's unable to immediately go for a cover on Crow.*

Jeannie: Another Maxximyzer by Coltrane! He's really giving it into the hottie ghost dude.

Tom: But look at how much the match has taken it's toll upon him! If Coltrane can not capitalize on this, he may just prove to be just as mortal as his victims before him!

*Coltrane stands over Crow again. He awkwardly brings Crow back to a standing position & even more awkwardly tries to set up his challenger for "The Queen Anne's Revenge". At this, though, Crow begins to fight back. Due to Crow's height advantage, Coltrane has some difficulty in fully locking in Crow's arms for the "Queen Anne's Revenge" while keeping his head between his legs. Crow manages to maneuverer out of Coltrane's poorly planned attempt at "The Queen Anne's Revenge" & drops him with a Back Body Drop. Coltrane soon stands again, though. He whips Crow off to the ropes. On the rebound, Crow carries on his momentum, but Coltrane ducks him, pulling down the top rope. Crow goes sailing to the outside & crashes on the mat near to the ramp.*

Tom: A crash and burn of epic proportions! The winds of Crow's sails might have been severely cut short there.

Jeannie: Bad puns ahoy.

*As soon as Crow stands again, Coltrane throws himself out of the ring, taking Crow down with a Tope. Coltrane, rather tired at this juncture, gets up. Unfortunately for him, Crow is soon standing as well. The two men commence to brawling again. Crow sending Coltrane towards a security rail again. Coltrane manages to stop himself this time. But Crow follows up behind, running full-speed at the W*I*G Champion. Coltrane manages to trip Crow up with a Drop Toe-Hold. Crow's forehead bashes against the security rail & it is soon very evident that it has left him bleeding rather badly. Crow holds a hand to his head & notices the blood. He turns back towards Coltrane & decks him with a strong right hand. Coltrane reels back & Crow lifts Coltrane up. Crow carries Coltrane up the ramp & dumps him right on the metal structure. Coltrane grasps around at his already damaged back & tries to crawl up the ramp to escape from Crow. Coltrane rolls over onto his back & Crow places a boot firmly on Coltrane's chest. Coltrane grabs at Crow's foot & twists it off his chest. He manages to knock Crow over again. Coltrane maintains his hold on Crow's foot & leans over to get ahold of Crow's other leg. He contorts Crow around into the Cidal-Lock at the top of the entrance ramp. Crow doesn't utter a word nor give any indication that he's in any sort of pain. A quick look at his face & one can see that Crow's teeth are gritted. He has no intention of surrendering the match in this manner. Coltrane, evidently deciding that he's held Crow in the hold long enough (& recalling that this match is not Falls Count Anywhere), releases the hold.*

Tom: Coltrane has bloodied the mysterious Crow and has him at his mercy.

Jeannie: Won't matter much if it's outside the ring and on the stage.

Tom: I have to say I'm happy that the referee is allowing this match to pursue further than just a double countout.

Jeannie: Looks like he got the hot dog girl to get him a frank.

Tom: ...Nevermind.

*To Coltrane's dismay, Crow is standing again shortly thereafter. Coltrane tries to whip Crow into the giant metal structure that makes up the set design at the top of the W*I*G-Sphere ramp. Crow reverses the move & Coltrane eats steel. Coltrane, now, like Crow, is "BAH GAWD! BUSTED WIDE OPEN!". Coltrane staggers back from the stage structure with blood dripping down his face. He turns to face Crow again. Coltrane lunges at Crow & the two men fight it out at the edge of the stage. Crow catches Coltrane with an uppercut that rocks the champion. He takes a few steps backwards, but pounces at Crow again, taking him down with a Spear! Coltrane lifts Crow up again. With Crow doubled over, Coltrane places Crow's head between his legs. it looks like he's about to hit a second "SUPER DESTRUCTO BOMB!" on an opponent this evening. Coltrane is preparing to lift Crow up onto his shoulders, but Crow takes Coltrane over with a Back Body Drop right off the stage! Coltrane lands on a pile of cables & wires below. He's just managed to stand & regain his bearings again when he looks up to see Crow jumping off the top of the stage. Crow takes Coltrane down with a Flying Clothesline. Crow stands again & whips Coltrane into the side of the stage. Coltrane slumps against the stage, but Crow isn't finished. He hits Coltrane's head against the side of the stage again & begins to drag him back towards the ring. Coltrane stumbles as Crow takes him back towards the ring. When the two men reach the end of the entrance ramp, Coltrane nails Crow with a blow to the ribs. The larger Crow retaliates with an elbow strike to the back of Coltrane's neck, knocking the W*I*G Champion down to his knees again. Crow continues to take Coltrane to the ring, but Coltrane manages to fight back again. He manages to clock Crow with a strong uppercut, then, while Crow is staggered, Coltrane kicks him in the midsection. Coltrane quickly snaps off a "Raven Effect" to Crow on the floor. Coltrane continues to slink his way back into the ring.*

Tom: This could result in a countout victory for Coltrane if he has done enough damage to put away the monster.

Jeannie: Are you kidding? The referee is now trying to call the dude with drinks.

Tom: sigh. Regardless, you have to wonder how much Coltrane has left in his tank. He's tired, beaten, bloody, and probably never dreamed he would be in this match facing his opponent.

Jeannie: Well, he did make hottie pirate bleed and looks to have the upper hand right now. I'd say he's fairing well.

Tom: ...that... was well thought out... Congrats Jeann-

Jeannie: But still... I WANNA SEE COLTRANE TAKE OFF THE PANTS OF PIRATE BOY!

Tom: ....

*Crow is beginning to stand again, but Coltrane seems unperturbed this time. Crow slowly & steadily makes his way up onto the ring apron. He takes his time climbing up the steps. Coltrane takes this opportunity to run up the ring-post opposite to Crow. Coltrane runs along the top rope at full speed, aiming to take Crow down with "Kidd's Antigua". But, just as Coltrane launches himself, Crow ducks down & drops off the apron. Coltrane's front flip splash is aiming towards nothing, he simply flips down onto the empty floor below. He takes a quick look around him. Crow is nowhere in his current range of vision. Coltrane begins to sit up & cautiously make his way back to the ring. Still keeping a wary eye out for Ferhago Crow. He climbs the steps gingerly & waits by the ring-post for a moment. he turns around to step back into the ring, only to be taken down by a successfully executed "Kidd's Antigua" courtesy of the challenger!*

Tom: And with that, Coltrane is crushed between a steel pole and all of Crow's weigh- DON'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING.

Jeannie: ...aww.

*Crow simply stands tall again. He looks down on Coltarne & drags the champion to his feet again. Crow rolls Coltrane back into the ring, leaving Coltrane's head & neck sitting just a little outside the ring under the ropes. Crow steps up onto the ring apron & drops a leg across Coltrane's neck Undertaker-style. Coltrane begins to buck about wildly as Crow slips back into the ring under the ropes. Crow lifts up Coltrane as he convulses on the mat. Coltrane retorts with a series of elbows directed at Crow's abdomen. With Crow doubled over, Coltrane quickly ascends the nearest ring-post & successfully lands "Drake's Golden Hind" on Crow!*

Jeannie: A top rope scissors' kick! Crow is down!

Tom: Another Crow move by Coltrane! Perhaps he DID prepare to face Crow one day!

Jeannie: So... Coltrane is Batman now?

Tom: ....what?

*The feat has clearly left Coltrane exhausted. He lies on the mat, unable to roll over or to turn Crow over onto his back, to make a cover. Coltrane can barely manage to start to sit up after giving & receiving so much punishment in the course of the match. A cursory glance in Crow's direction confirms that his opponent isn't exactly likely to be up to much any time soon either. Coltrane rolls over in the direction of the ropes. He crawls along the mat hoping to use them to try to pull himself back up again. As he reaches his hand out & manages to grab the bottom strand he feels something grasping at his ankle. Coltrane's heart sinks, his expression turns dour as he knows there's only one man that could be doing that. A look back over his shoulder confirms his worst fears, Ferhago Crow has a grip on Coltrane's ankle. Coltrane uses his right leg to kick away Crow's hand. He kicks at Coltrane's decrepit, aged fingers & tries to pull his left leg away simultaneously. Crow holds on despite this. Coltrane continues to kick at Crow until eventually Crow releases his grip. Coltrane pulls himself standing again with the aid of the ropes. Crow has also started to stand again.*

Coltrane: WHY WON'T YOU STAY DOWN?!

Tom: If this is any indication... I thinking that Coltrane is running out of steam.

Jeannie: This dude looks like he can go for hours. ...I AM in love.

Tom: ....sigh... If this won't keep Crow down, what can Coltrane do now?

*Coltrane aims a kick right at Crow's weathered face. Crow takes the kick, but continues to rise to face Coltrane. Coltrane looks completely exasperated. The blood running down his face has done little to sooth audience temperament towards him. They still continue to boo & berate Coltrane as he, for possibly the first time since his W*I*G debut, looks rather panicked. Coltrane aims a roundhouse kick at Crow's chest. Crow blocks the kick before Coltrane can continue to complete the "Soul Cleanser". Crow begins to twist on Coltrane's ankle again. Coltrane uses his other foot to perform his rarely seen enzuguiri, catching Crow right on the temple. Crow is a bit taken aback by Coltrane's use of such a move. As Crow stumbles around mildly dazed, Coltrane drills him with a knee to the stomach. With Crow doubled over, Coltrane gets him in a front facelock, then lifts him up for a Suplex, but rather than complete the lift, Coltrane simply dumps Crow, allowing his challenger to land on his head & neck.*

Tom: I believe that' Crow's own move! Could he be setting up Crow for his own finisher?

Jeannie: Come on, Coltrane win! Come on Crowy, get back up again.

Tom: ...You're cheering for both?

Jeannie: I'm looking forward to comforting the loser.

*Coltrane takes a second to wipe the blood from his face before he heads towards the top rope, pausing only to look down on Crow with a sinister smirk. Coltrane flies from the top rope, rotating as if for a Shooting Star Press before landing on top of Ferhago Crow with "The Flying Dutchman", smashing into Crow's chest & head with his knees!*

Jeannie: PAINFUL!

Tom: That has GOT to be it! I can't believe that anyone could kick out of that!

*Coltrane makes the cover on Crow, basically collapsing on top of him, & the referee makes the count...*

1...





2...





3!!!

DING-DING-DING!

Jeannie: Aww... Crowy lost.

Tom: And with that, Coltrane has retained his title and shown the world that he is not a paper champion. You gotta believe that if he can beat Ferhago Crow, he can probably beat anyone.

Jeannie: I wonder if I should get my oils for Crowy...

*For the third time this evening, "I Don't Wanna Be Me" starts to play. The referee lifts Coltrane's hand as he still lies on top of Crow, clearly exhausted by the match. Coltrane is barely able to look up. The referee brings the W*I*G World Heavyweight Title belt back into the ring & places it in Coltrane's arms.*

Finkel: Here is your winner ... AND STILL Wrestling's Innovative Genesis World Heavyweight Champion... COOOOOL~TRAAAAAAAANE!!!

*Coltrane may be the winner, but he hardly looks the part. He tries to push himself up but can barely manage it. As soon as Coltrane gets back up in a kneeling position he clutches the W*I*G World Heavyweight Championship close to his chest. Then the lights in the W*I*G-Sphere go off again, coming back on mere seconds later. Coltrane looks down in front of him. Ferhago Crow has disappeared. The referee & champion take a few furtive looks around them. There's no sign that Crow was ever there, the garb he discarded prior to the match is no longer with the time-keeper, even the stains of his blood have vanished from the mat.*

Tom: What!?

Jeannie: HEY! WHERE'S CROW?!

Tom: It's... almost like he was never even here...

Jeannie: No fair!

Tom: ...eerie.

*Coltrane rolls out of the ring & heads back up the ramp as quickly as his exhausted form will allow. He pauses at the top of the ramp to raise his Title Belt in the air to more boos from the fans. Coltrane's bloody face as he holds the belt aloft is the final image fans see as the show closes.*
