The lights dim and silhouettes from two strippers can be seen on the side trons. Thunderkiss' video plays on the Alpha as the man himself makes his way through the entranceway. He stands atop of the ramp way looking out into the crowd for a moment, when suddenly he lowers his body and sends his fist flying into the metal below. Upon this impact, pyro lights up both sides of the ramp way creating a sea of fire to escort Thunderkiss into the ring. Thunderkiss takes his time coming to the ring as he lets the world know they wait for him and him alone. His arrogant walk finally comes to an end as he makes his way up the ring steps and into the ring. Upon entertaining, Thunderkiss takes command of all four corners making a statement that THIS is his house.
How do you Like me Now?” by Toby Keith hits the sound system and out comes everyone’s favorite businessmen, Kevin Fitsharris & Anthony Kalb - the Capitalists! Fitsharris and Kalb are dressed in their traditional black suits that easily pull away revealing their ring outfits the instant their feet touch down in the ring. While Fitsharris begins to strut his stuff, Kalb is more intent on keeping his head attached to his body and plays out the upcoming match in his mind.~!~DING,DING,DING~!~
Thunderkiss waves in Fitsharris but Fitsy turns tail and tags in Kalb. Anthony lowers his head in frustration at his tag partner but after all these years he should have known better. Kalb has studied enough tape on Thunderkiss over the years to know not to engage him in a lock up, but uses a fake one to gain the first advantage. He kicks TK in the gut and bends him over long enough to rocket him back up with a European uppercut. Thunderkiss staggers back and a clothesline by Kalb takes him to his back. Wanting nothing more than to keep the big man off his feet, he slaps on a chin lock. However, TK has too much in his tank to be kept down for long and he easily overpowers Kalb and rises back up. Two elbows into his side later, TK breaks free and hits the ropes for some momentum. He comes back strong and blasts Kalb in his head with a vicious headbutt that makes the Kiss Army get up and shout!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Looks like somebody is shouting it out loud!
Maxwell McNally: You gotta have a party!
“Fast” Eddie Edison: .....
Maxwell McNally: Sorry.
Thunderkiss picks up Kalb and drives a couple of fists into his face which are completely ignored by referee Rich who conveniently looks the other way. Thunderkiss then rockets Kalb into his own corner where he lands with so much force that he catapults his own tag team partner off the ring apron where he lands hard into the ring barricade. Kalb looks on horrified as he watches Fitsharris bounce off the steel bars like a ping pong ball. He gets a German suplex for his concern, the likes of which has not been seen by Thunderkiss before. Several fans stand up and applaud this new move while others wonder if this is a message sent to the Senator. After all, it was he who taught this old dog some new tricks. Thunderkiss goes for yet another pick up and this time Kalb is ready for him. He drives his forearm into TK’s stomach and then reaches up and hooks his jaw. A massive jawbreaker comes next and for the first time in this match up Thunderkiss is reeling.
Maxwell McNally: Kalb must get the fresh man in there while he has this window of opportunity!
It is as if Kalb hears McNally as he stumblers over to his corner where the recovered Fitsharris lies in wait. He tags and in comes Kevin, his feet now working overtime on TK’s back. Fitsharris follows up his barrage with a big elbow to the back of TK’s head and then slaps on a sleeper hold for good measure. This turns out to be quite effective as he puts his entire body weight down upon TK’s head. Pretty soon Thunderkiss begins to go nighty-night, and the Kiss Army’s silence grows by the second. Referee Rich grabs TK’s arm once after a minute of motionless movement. He raises it into the air once and it drops. A repeat performance soon follows. The third and final hand raise takes the air out of the entire arena as everyone holds their breath. The number one contender’s hand drops, but stops inches short of the canvas. TK begins to shake uncontrollably and the cowboys are now in a wild west shoot out against a man who has a much quicker draw.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Gentlemen, I hope you have you have health insurance because you’re going to need it!
Thunderkiss rises with a massive surge of energy no normal man can overpower. Kevin hangs on tightly as TK pulls himself up to his feet but his grip is loosened when Thunderkiss reaches behind and snap mares Fitsharriss off his back. Kevin lands hard and Thunderkiss gives him a
LOVE GUN to the back of his head. His eyes nearly leap from their sockets and TK combos with a
BOX OFFICE SMASH right between the eyes! Sensing the end could be hear, Kalb charges the ring and drives a knee right into the small of TK’s back. TK drops to a knee and Kalb pounds down upon him. However, TK’s second wind pops him right back up and he puts an end to Kalb’s attack with a
KICKSTART MY HEART! His knuckles crash directly into Kalb’s chest cavity and he falls like a domino. Wanting more carnage, TK is in luck as Fitsharris is back in the thick of things! He stumbles directly into a TK scoop slam! Now laying flat on his back, he next falls victim to the Thunder’s Kiss!
Thunderkiss:
THIS IS THE THUNDER!Kiss Army: AND THIS IS THE KISS!
WHAM! TK’s elbow goes directly into Fitsharris’s heart and now he is only a Heaven’s Door or Goodnight Kiss away from victory. Choosing option number two, Thunderkiss leaps over into a nearby corner and warms up his biceps. Painting a bulls eye on Fitsharris head with his eyes, TK is too distracted by his own ring strategizing to notice a large commotion come from the crowd. And it’s a damn shame too, for his ignorance is going to cost him dearly.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Well, what do you know? A lying politician. What
ARE the chances?!
Maxwell McNally: Tonight’s session must have ended early ....
Out of the crowd comes
Senator Steve Phillips . He slides in into the ring on TK’s blind side and injects himself into the fray. A axe handle to the back of the head is enough to bring Thunderkiss down to his knees and referee Rich has no problems calling for the bell.
MELTDOWN WINNER: THUNDERKISS (VIA DQ)!
The last remnants of the Senatorial Stable could careless about the match verdict. Their primary focus now is to cause Thunderkiss as much pain as humanly possible and they are doing a good job doing it. While Kevin and Anthony hold TK in position, the Senator welts TK’s chest with his patented knife edge chops, the hardest hitting in ACW, I might add. A few right hands later, Thunderkiss goes into survival mode and his efforts help him break free from his captors. He lunges at the Senator and is able to tackle him down onto the canvas. A few thunderous right hands find themselves upon Senator’s skull but the Capitalis squash TK’s chances for any come back with a well placed time keepers bell to the back of his neck.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Aw, TK didn’t even see that coming!
While TK’s head is spinning like a top, the Senator directs the Capitalists to lay TK over the ropes. They oblige and soon TK dangles like a scarecrow on a wobbly poll. The Senator wastes not a second in his attack. It is vicious, direct and more importantly on target as his
AIG KNEE makes Jell-o out of TK’s brain. The Thunderman crumples to the mat like a test crash dummy and the Senator stands over him, triumphantly raising his hand in the air.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: For YEARS Steve Phillips has fallen victim to the Goodnight Kiss! It has been the bane of his existence within the squared circle. Well, those days are over. He has struck gold with the AIG Knee, the ULTIMATE Thunder bustin’ move.
Maxwell McNally: I never thought I’d live to see the day when Steve Phillips beat Thunderkiss at his own game.
“Fast” Eddie Edison: Nor can I, Eddie. But the big question of why has yet to be answered.
The fans in both the arena and watching at home share McNally’s sediments. Hundreds of thousands of people now sit in disbelief as they witness the aftermath of an elaborate trap, all created for one purpose, to bring Thunderkiss to his knees. And if one where to doubt its success, all they must do is take one look at the exuberance emanating from the Senator who has seen this situation transpire numerous times before, only normally it is HE who ends the show on the canvas.
