Junior Tag Titles Turmoil: Lost Boys (c) vs. Capitalists vs. Immovable Object/Irresistable Force vs. Royles vs. Damien/Revenant vs. G-Unit V2

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s the last show of Fallout in the current era. The fans are rather quiet as Fallout opens to the usual fireworks. No video package, not even an announcement. The show just goes on as though it was any other show.

“Take that, bitches! This isn’t your momma’s Fallout!”

[scrawn]

Segment: The final countdown

We open up in the backstage area, where the Lost Boys are seen standing next to a vending machine. Memnoch is stood casually against the wall, but Uriel is a little more concerned as he looks at a sheet of paper.

Uriel: Have you seen this piece of paper dude?

Memnoch: Yeah I had a glimpse. No biggy.

Uriel glares at Memnoch.

Uriel: You serious bro? This is the tag turmoil listing. We’re not even the final team in this, which means that we’ll have to win more than one match in order to keep our belts!

Memnoch: Listen, Uriel. We overcame the odds before. What about a month ago at the Winter Discontent pre-show? We completely destroyed everyone else. And what about the time when we face Beau James and Wolf? Again, we overcame the odds and kept our belts. So who’s to say that we won’t do it again this time?

There’s silence from Uriel.

Memnoch: And besides. The only reason why the Capitalists are in last is because they sucked Biff off.

Uriel calmly smiles.

Uriel: Hey you’re right. Let’s go, we gotta prepare for tonight.

The two walk off the screen, sending a message to the other people in the tag team turmoil later on in the show.

Fade out.

Match 1: Felix Santana Sr. vs. Felix Santana Jr. (Credit: Senator)

Coming back from the break, Felix Santana Senior is standing in the ring, as Gasolina starts to play.

Phillip: Announcing now, the younger of the Felix Santanas in ACW, and hailing from the Dominican Republic as well, Felix Santana Junior!

Junior runs down to the ring, and after posing on the top rope, jumps down to speak with his father/opponent.

Junior: Papi, I know I’ve never beaten you before in a singles match, but heck, who knows what’ll happen?

Senior: Just bring your best and don’t take it easy, son.

The Santanas share a quick hug, and both start laughing, until Senior walks back up to his son, and smacks the taste out of his mouth. Junior simply smirks back, the two shake hands, and go right into a collar and elbow tie-up, as the bell rings. Felix Jr. has the advantage early on, and goes into an arm wrench. His father, though has seen this move too many times to be caught for long, and ducks under it, reversing into his own wristlock. Junior rolls forward, kips up, and re-reverses back into another arm wrench, placing extra torque on the arm this time. Felix Sr. twists back, though, turning the hold back in his favor, placing a hammerlock on his son. Junior runs up to the ropes, forcing a break.

As the referee breaks the hold, forcing Senior to back off, Felix Junior attempts to execute his springboard moonsault to inverted ddt, the World of Pain, but misses when his father ducks the attack. Senior quickly executes an awkward looking double leg takedown, and locks in an Indian Deathlock. Junior yells in pain, but is not able to make any progress towards the ropes, as Felix Senior repeatedly falls back, applying more pressure. After some time, Junior tries to get to the near ropes, but is thwarted as Senior bridges back, changing the Indian Deathlock into a Sickle Hold with a facelock. Felix Junior tries to pry his father’s hands free, but does not have the proper leverage to do so. Senior seems pleased to keep the match on his own terms, and decides to now let go of the hold, now transitioning into a bow and arrow hold. Junior finds a tough time escaping the move, but finally manages to do so unwittingly when he rolls slightly to the side, pinning Felix Senior’s shoulders to the mat…

…1

…Senior quickly lets go of the bow and arrow hold, and gets back to a standing base. Junior has a tougher time getting to his own feet, clearly favoring his back. As soon as he does so, though, he ends back up in another submission, as Felix Senior executes a snapmare straight into a rear chinlock. Junior tries to get his feet under him to escape the basic submission, but is unable to do so when Senior turns the move into a tightsleeper hold. Felix Senior vigorously applies pressure, cutting off the blood supply to the head. He appears to have clenched the sleeper in completely, but is forced to let go when Felix Junior manages to force his left arm off, standing up into an arm wrench, turning around, and applying a Magistral pin…

…Felix Senior kicks out, and springs up, managing to go into a side headlock. Junior’s ready for that, however, and quickly executes a backdrop suplex. Felix Senior starts to get back up off the mat, but is caught when his son executes a running neck snap, reminiscent of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig. Junior, though, does not let go as most people have done with the hold, and lands on his feet, holding a unique chinlock on. Senior is able to stand up out of the move, but Junior quickly spins around, and delivers a picture perfect DDT.

Felix Junior, now firmly in control of the match lifts his father slowly off the mat with a rear waistlock. As he gets him to his feet, Junior slowly hooks one arm, and then the other behind the back, and after a shout, lifts Senior off the mat in a double chickenwing hold that his father/opponent made famous, the famous Santana Vice! Junior slowly turns around in a 360 degree circle, demonstrating his strength. Felix Senior looks extremely pained, but does not make any attempt to escape. After close to a minute, Felix Junior finally starts to tire, and Senior takes advantage, unhooking his arms, and rolling forward in a spectacular cradle hold…

…1

…Junior kicks out! As both men rise to their feet, Felix Senior manages to catch his son in an armdrag, transitioning directly into a short arm scissors hold. Senior applies pressure, and manages to keep his son on the mat for a long period of time, broken up only by a few unsuccessful attempts to kip up, or roll out of the hold. Finally, Felix Junior manages to escape the hold by slipping his arm part way out and rolling into an improvised cradle…

…1

…Senior kicks out with ease! Felix Senior catches his son again, this time with a side headlock takedown, which Junior easily turns into a headscissors. Senior kicks out of the headscissors, and once again executes a side headlock takedown. Felix Junior is caught in the hold for a bit more time in this instance, but still manages to get the headscissors. Felix Senior, though, is able to quickly escape the headscissors, and applies a standing side headlock to Junior, running to the corner, and this time, applies a springboard side headlock takedown. The younger Felix takes even more time than before in going into the headscissors, but still manages to get it off, and now sinks in a fairly tight figure four headscissors. Senior attempts a rolling escape, but Junior rolls with him, without losing any pressure on the hold. Felix Senior, though, is quite the crafty individual, and spins around in the headscissors, almost into a standing position, and flips forward into a jackknife pin…

…Felix Junior not only kicks out, but bridges up out of the pin, spinning into a backslide pin…

…Senior kicks out, bounces off the opposite ropes, and catches his son in his signature pinning combination, the sunset flip cradle…

…Felix Junior kicks out of the move, and rolls back directly into a front dropkick, going for yet another cover…

…Senior kicks out!

Phillip: One minute remaining in this contest!

Both men quickly glance at the announcer and then bounce off opposite ropes simultaneously, and connect with mirroring running cross chops, and flop back uncontrollably on the impact, starting a ten count from the referee…

Felix Senior rolls over to the ropes and starts to pull himself to his feet…

Felix Junior also now manages to gain his footing and the match is able to continue. Junior charges at his father, but is caught in a side headlock. Senior then attempts to do a Tiger spin, drop toe holding his son into the ropes, but Felix Junior catches himself, turns around, picking his father up in the position for the dreaded El Santana Driver, and leaps into the air…but Senior knows his son well, and manages to drop him into a back bridge counter for the pin as the time starts to run out…

…1

…2

…Felix Junior kicks out, and the crowd counts down the final seconds of the match…

Phillip: As a result of the twenty minute time limit reaching its conclusion, this match is officially a draw!

Both Santanas look at each other, Senior looking more exhausted than his son, and Junior looking a bit more pained.

Junior: Guess the record still’s perfect…

Senior: Oh…yes it is!

Junior: Well, I gave my all there, and…hey, who the heck is that?

At the top of the entrance ramp, ACW trainee, Cool Flame appears from behind the curtain, and points at the Santanas, giving an exaggerated round of applause, before stepping back into the backstage area.

Senior: Something about that man seems familiar, can’t just place it though…

Junior: I agree, but for now…I think we should head back and get some rest, papi!

The Santanas both make their way to the back, probably much happier than they would have been if one had gained a decisive victory, and certainly pondering the mystery of Cool Flame’s appearance.

Segment: A Ruined Legacy

The titantron again comes to life, with Wolf sitting on his own in a locker room. The fans pop for him as he sits, thinking about the match tonight, thinking about how much trouble Biff has put him through over the last 3 months, and thinking about finally getting revenge once and for all.

Wolf: You know it’s these moments where you really have to prepare for the worst. I mean over the last 12 months I’ve endured the best, such as being recognised as the top tag team member on Fallout with Predator, to winning the tag team titles with him. I’ve also experienced the worst, losing at Omega Effect and suffering many taunts and abuse from people such as the fans, my peers, and my family.

He pauses, sitting up.

Wolf: But I have learnt to live through them, and accept that not everyone shares the same opinion. But this is different between me and Biff. For everything he’s put me through, I’ve had enough. Tonight it ends! Tonight I will finally destroy the regime that Biff has got over Fallout! Fallout will no longer be a totalitarian show, and will once again be a show where the good will provail, without the use of cheating and whatnot!

The camera slowly backs off Wolf, a little nervy over where the conversation is going. Wolf continues to babble on, as the camera moves faster out, and we eventually fade out.

Segment: Tim Dwight’s Move of The Month

As the segment begins, the camera takes us all back to “Textbook” Tim Dwight’s Gym in the ACW Arena for the second monthly installment of the Move of the Month.

Dwight: Welcome back one and all to Dwight’s Move of the Month. This time, I am going to go over a move that I would not be surprised to see later tonight, a move that has won titles, and defeated many foes, the Macho Man Randy Dallas Kanyon’s Macho Slam!

RDK elbows him midair, forcing DD to drop the two of them. Dazed, DD fails to notice RDK quickly reach for him, lift him up, and hit him with the Macho Slam! The pin is an easy one, but the match was less so.

Philip: Here is your winner, the Macho Man RDK!!!

Dwight: The Macho Slam is a front double leg tossing lift into a catching chokeslam. It is truly one of the most dynamic, popular, and just plain effective finishers in ACW history. Of course, this segment’s not just about showing a few clips and calling it a day, so I’m going to explain to all you folks out there just why the Macho Slam is my choice for the month. Part of the reason for that is because of the man himself. RDK shares a unique rapport with his fans here in ACW, and he’s as solid and well rounded of a brawler and stand up power wrestler as they come, dominating foes with his boundless energy, pure athletic ability, and fighting spirit. The Macho Slam exemplifies his qualities, it’s quick in its setup, it is flashy and easily recognizable, and extremely powerful. One other added plus is that it shares an identical setup with another of RDK’s signature moves, the Jabroni Buster, a lifting front spinebuster. As such, opponent’s have a tough time countering the move, as it is very difficult to anticipate. Like many other of RDK’s moves, the Macho Slam mainly focuses on the back, which hopefully will have been worked over during the earlier stages of the match. This makes it even more effective, as it meshes perfectly with the rest of his offence.

The Macho Slam shares similarities to a number of moves. The aforementioned Jabroni Buster has already been covered, and comparisons to a regular chokeslam are obvious. Another person who has been particularly famous for his chokeslam variations is former GHC title holder Akira Taue. Taue perhaps was the first person to popularize the chokeslam, and still effectively uses it today. His Backdrop Suplex to Chokeslam, the I Am Taue is perhaps the most famous unorthodox chokeslam setup, a move that Wolf uses as the Fall From Valhalla in ACW. Also from Taue is a vertical suplex to chokeslam setup called the Chichubu Cement. Finally, there are quite a few other chokeslam variants out there, none of which have been as popular as the previously mentioned ones, among them being a chokeslam to backbreaker, a reverse direction chokeslam facebuster dubbed the Amaze Impact, a chokeslam to powerbomb called the Miracle Ecstacy, a sitdown variation on the former called the Superbomb, and a chokeslam to elbow drop titled the Nodawa Elbow.

As great as the Macho Slam is, the move is not perfect. Both the Jabroni Buster and Macho Slam can be countered if the double leg is thwarted. Also, the immense arm strength needed to catch the opponent in mid air can make it less effective against larger opponents. A few very talented people perhaps could even turn the move into a joint lock on the toss to the choke hold if they are able to shift their center of gravity in time. Finally, the timing is very difficult to master, and requires extreme speed, dexterity, and most of all, training. Fortunately, RDK has spent much of his life perfecting his trade, and could practically execute the Macho Slam in his sleep. I know one thing, it’s a move that almost nobody has managed to escape, or even counter. Well, that’s it for today, I hope that all of you are able to make it for Ragnarok later today, and I’ll see you all here next month, when I detail another of ACW’s best moves.

Fade to Commercials.

Match 2: ‘Dangerous’ Nick Alger vs. 004

We come back from the break to see 004 standing in the ring, warming up at the ropes and waiting for his opponent to come. There’s a few boos coming from parts in the arena but 004 ignores them.

Philip: And from North Caroline, weighing at 255 lbs...’Dangerous’ Nick Alger!

Eagleheart hits the PA system and the fans cheer for DNA, making a relatively rare appearance on Fallout. As he walks out to the ring, the titantron shows highlights of how this match came to be, with 004 attacking DNA backstage during an interview. DNA reaches the ring and enters it, watching 004 as the match starts.

Bell Rings.

The two lock up in the ring, but 004 quickly gets the upper hand with an elbow to the neck. DNA turns around naturally to try and catch his breath, but 004 immediately capitalises, hitting a dropkick to the back. DNA is forced into the corner, and 004 quickly jumps to his feet, darting forward and hitting DNA with a clothesline. DNA, being sandwhiched between the arm and the padding, falls to his arse, and 004 continues his attack, stomping DNA in the corner. The ref is soon called into stopping the assault, and 004 is forced to the corner as DNA gets to his feet. But seconds later, 004 is back on the assault as he runs at DNA, hitting an Enziguri. DNA falls to the ground and 004 makes the cover, only for DNA to kick out. 004 lifts DNA back up, but DNA pushes 004 to the delight of the crowd, and begins to fight back. He hits several mounted punches in a row, and 004 does his best to avoid them but fails to do so. DNA then throws 004 at the ropes and catches him, pausing before hitting an overhead belly to belly suplex. 004 holds his head as he lands badly, but DNA shows no mercy as he gets up and hits a spinning roundhouse kick to the head. 004 is pretty much out cold, and DNA calmly places an arm over the body, but oddly 004 manages to kick out well before the count of three.

DNA just lifts him back up and tries to hit a Karelin Lift, but 004 manages to struggle away, and takes DNA down with another clothesline. He pauses in the corner, waiting for DNA to climb to his feet before attacking. As DNA does so, 004 is immediately on the scene, and runs, hitting a Hurricarana. The momentum flips DNA onto his knees, but he’s very groggy as 004 grabs him and hits the Phoenix DDT. 004 proudly makes the cover, expecting to get the win: 1......2......thre-kickout by DNA! 004 is as shocked as anyone to see DNA kick out of his former trademark move, but refuses to let that stop him winning the match. He stomps DNA in the face, and continues stomping him in the face and stomach. DNA tries to get to the ropes but 004 continues the assault, until stopping to taunt the fans. And this is his biggest mistake, as DNA grabs him by the foot, and locks in the devastating Red Alert (Scissored Heel Hold). 004 is almost screaming as DNA applies pressure to the hold, but at first 004 refuses to tap out to the move. But the longer 004 decides to resist the hold, the more DNA applies pressure to the hold and the more 004 feels the need to tap out. He tries to grab the ropes nearby, but cannot reach them. He tries again, and gets a fingertip to them, but it’s not enough. The fans around feel one more effort might save the match, but the hold is too much for 004, and he taps out to the cheering crowd.

Philip: Here is your winner, ‘Dangerous’ Nick Alger!

Alger keeps the hold locked in for a few seconds more, before letting go. He climbs to his feet, smirking at 004 as if to say ‘don’t mess with danger’. DNA throws his arms in the air, and leaves the ring as the referee checks to 004’s sore foot.

Fade Out.

Segment: The Final Say

We open up in the arena area, where the camera pans a shot across the arena, where the fans wait for the final match of the night. But before that, Tim Dwight’s theme hits and the fans look a little confused as Dwight makes his way down the ramp, and into the ring. He’s in his wrestling gear, but holding a microphone which shows that he’s going to be talking rather than wrestling at this point.

Dwight: You know I’ve been on Fallout since the beginning, and I gotta admit I’m sad to see it end.

He pauses as some of the crowd members agree with him.

Dwight: But you gotta remember that Fallout isn’t ending. It’s not the end of Fallout, but just the end of an era. And it’s that which you people are forgetting. All that’s happening is that Fallout is moving away from ACW and becoming its own Federation. But you’ll still see El Froggy Mask, Gary, Wolf and others on the show. I guess what I’m out here to say is that FALLOUT WILL NOT DAH!

The fans cheer for the obvious Matt Hardy spoof.

Dwight: But seriously. Fallout has produced some of the hottest wrestlers in the business, and will continue to do so into the future, so don’t worry. Fallout may be moving from ACW, but it’s still Fallout. And that’s the way it shall remain.

His theme hits again, and the fans cheer as Dwight leaves the ring, happy in the thought that he will have made a few more fans more comfortable about the new direction of Fallout.

Fade Out.

Match 3: Junior Tag Titles Turmoil: Lost Boys (c) vs. Capitalists vs. Immovable Object/Irresistable Force vs. Damien/Revenant vs. G-Unit V2

Philip: The following match is a Tag Team Turmoil match, for the ACW Junior Tag Team Titles!

’If you want blood’ by AC/DC hits and the two Untouchables members, Damien King and Revenant walks out to a bad reaction from the fans.

Philip: Coming first to the ring, representing the Untouchables, weighing at a combined weight of 445 lbs...Damien & Revenant!

The two men walk down the ramp and into the ring, where they wait for their opponents.

Philip: And hailing from Newport, Wales, weighing at a combined weight of 468 lbs, The Royles!

’Have a nice day’ by the Stereophonics hits and the two get a mixed reaction from the fans as they both walk down the ring. The two make cocky jokes -literally - to some fan members as they get to the bottom of the ramp and enter the ring. Philip leaves the ring, and we get ready to start this Tag Turmoil.

Bell Rings.

‘Ivor Biggin’ - or David Royle - and Revenant start the match, and lock up in the ring. Revenant uses his strength to overpower Biggin, whipping him at the ropes and locking him in a rear chin lock. Rev quickly lets go and turns Ivor around, giving him a scoop slam. Rev then lifts Ivor back to his feet, and attempts a back drop but Ivor manages to land on his feet. He hits a knee to the backbone of Rev, and follows it up with a quick Reverse DDT. Ivor climbs to his feet and tags in his brother, Pat McGroin (or David Royle) who enters the ring. Pat quickly goes to Rev and stomps him in the chest a couple of times, and then drops down and picks Rev up by his hair. Pat tries to throw Rev at the ropes but Rev reverses it and hits a Kitchen Sink, before making a much-needed tag to Damien King. Pat climbs to his feet and runs at King, but Damien lifts him up and hits a tile-a-whirl slam, followed by a cover but Pat manages to kick out before three. Damien sits up, looking at the referee but then turns back to Pat and begins choking him with the forearm. The referee orders King to stop but he refuses to do so, so he makes the count: 1-2-3-4-5, and at this point King lets go of Pat. King slowly gets up to his feet, dragging Pat up by his head but Pat fights back with shots to the ribs.

Pat hits a third shot to the ribs, and one that forces King to let go of McGroin. Pat then runs back off the ropes, charging at King and takes him down with a thunderous Spinning Heel Kick. Pat falls to the ground also, however, but manages to quickly sprawl over to his corner and tag in his brother, Ivor. Ivor lifts King up from behind and hits the Big Jonny (Killswitch) on him. Ivor makes the cover, but King is able to kick out before three. Ivor looks quite annoyed now as he lifts King up, and attempts an Irish Whip but King reverses it into one of his own, and takes Ivor out with a side kick to the head. King is quite dazed at this point, but manages to tag in Revenant, who climbs into the ring, determined to progress to the next stage. Rev picks Ivor up and gives him a headbutt, knocking him back down to the ground. Rev smiles as he picks Ivor up again, throwing him at the ropes and lifting Ivor up, slowly hitting a Pendulum Backbreaker. Rev makes the cover, but is unable to ge tthe three-count as Ivor manages to get a shoulder up. Rev looks a little annoyed as he picks Ivor back up and throws him at the ropes. He bends over, wanting to hit a back body drop but Ivor sees this coming, and instead hits a Sunset Flip Pin: 1......2.....Kickout by Revenant.

[scrawn]

Ivor hits the ground with his hand in annoyance as he lifts Revenant back to his feet. He tries to whip him, but Rev refuses to budge and instead hits his own shoulder tackle. Rev then points to the turnbuckle and climbs up it, ready to hit a top rope elbow drop, but McGroin manages to hit the ropes, and Rev hits his nether regions with force. Rev falls to the ground, but Ivor manages to roll out the way before climbing to the top rope, and hitting the Vertical Limit (Swanton Leg Drop) and making the cover, with Damien unable to stop it in time: 1-2-3.

Philip: Damien and Revenant have been eliminated! Coming next to the ring, weighing at a combined weight of 285 lbs...G-Unit V2!

’Loser’ by Beck hits and the fans cheer as Gary and Gooner make their way to the ring. Ivor meanwhile trades positions with his brother, so McGroin is in the ring, waiting as Gary and Gooner get to ringside. They both discuss who should enter the ring, and they agree that Gooner will start, and so he enters the ring as the second part to this match starts.

McGroin smiles as he tries to take down Gooner with a clothesline, but Gooner ducks it and starts punching McGroin in the face with an open hand. He then pokes McGroin in the eye, Piper-style and attempts to take down McGroin with a bodyslam, but the attempt is pathetically hopeless, and McGroin shoves Gooner to the floor. McGroin picks Gooner up and hits an Atomic Drop, and picks him up again, this time hitting a Manhattan Drop. McGroin smirks as he lifts Gooner up again, lifting him up and hitting a suplex, before spinning and hitting a Brainbuster, completing the ‘Double Whammy’ move. McGroin climbs to his feet and tags in his brother, who grins as he gets into the ring with Gooner. Biggin lifts Gooner up, and plants him with a Snap Suplex. He goes for the cover, but Gooner is only just able to get a shoulder up before the count of three, which annoys Biggin. Regardless, he lifts Gooner back up and signals for the Crowns of Roylety (Sky High Powerbomb) but Gooner reverses the move into a stunning backflip dropkick. Unfortunately for Gooner however he also lands on his front, and it knocks the wind out of him. Que a hot-tag position, as Gary jumps up and down on the apron, desperate for Gooner to make the tag. Gooner slowly crawls to the corner, but Biggin is making better progress on the other side of the ring. But Gooner does manage to make the tag just a second after McGroin enters the ring and the crowd pops as Gary enters.

[scrawn]

However his entrance is very anti-climatic, as he runs straight into McGroin, who hits an unmerciful knee smash. Gary flies back, still standing but groggy as McGroin boots him in the stomach, and hitting the Big Richard (Stalling Michenoku Driver). McGroin calmly covers Gary and gets the 1-2-3, knocking G-Unit V2 out of the contest.

Philip: G-Unit V2 have been eliminated! Coming next to the ring, weighing at a combined weight of exactly 600 lbs, The Irresistable Force/Immovable Object!

The fans begin to boo, but the Royles have a smile on their face as their old foes come down to the ring. The Royles have failed to defeat IF/IO in the past, but considering they’ve won two matches in a row here, their confidance is high as Colossus Rhodes enters the ring, meaning he’ll start against Ivor Biggin.

Rhodes is almost 160 lbs larger than Biggin, as the two men square up in the ring, forcing their heads towards one another. Biggin throws a punch, but Rhodes blocks it and hits one of his own, sending Biggin down to the floor. Biggin scrambles back up to his feet, keeping a safe distance away from Rhodes. Biggin then closes in on Rhodes, trying to hit another punch but Rhodes again blocks it, and this time grabbing Biggin by the head and smashing it over his knee. Rhodes - who hasn’t moved an inch since this part of the match started - just watches as Biggin rolls around the floor holding his head in his hands, but slowly manages to climb to his feet. He watches Rhodes carefully, looking a little worried as he tags in his brother, McGroin. McGroin shows no signs of weakness, immediately running at Rhodes and hitting a dropkick to the knees. Rhodes finally falls to one knee, and McGroin capitalises on this by nouncing off the ropes behind Rhodes and dropkicking him in the back of the head. Rhodes falls head-first to the floor, and McGroin smiles as he tags in Biggin, and the two lift Rhodes up and hit a double backdrop. Biggin stomps Rhodes repeatedly in the head, before stopping and picking Rhodes up. He tries an Irish whip, but Rhodes refuses to budge and instead throws Biggin into his arms and tries to hit a Spinebuster, but Biggin refuses to get slammed, and as Rhodes lifts him in the air Biggin jumps over his head, and behind him. Biggin turns around and hits a Russian Leg Sweep. He makes the cover but Rhodes throws him off after the two count.

Rhodes climbs to his feet and tags in his partner, Rivera. The younger brother of the International champion Santiago waits for Biggin to get to his feet, and then runs, hitting a hurricarana. Biggin flies over and falls in between the ropes, as you would for the 619. But Rivera instead run off the ropes behind Biggin and tries to hit a leg-to-the-back, but Biggin moves out the way and Rivera gets tangled up in the ropes. Biggin tags in McGroin, who grabs Rivera by the neck and throws him back into the ring. McGroin kicks him in the gullet and tries to hit a DDT, but Rivera resists and hits a modified Fisherman’s Suplex. Rivera rolls out of the way and climbs to his feet slowly. He picks McGroin up to his feet and jumps off the ropes, hitting a sringboard arm drag. The movement forces McGroin to end up on his feet, and this allows Rivera to unleash a powerful Spinning Wheel Kick. McGroin falls to the floor and Rivera makes the cover, but is unable to get the three-count. Rivera tags in Rhodes, who smiles as he enters the ring. Rhodes grabs McGroin and goes for a scoop slam, but McGroin manages to squirm out of it and hit Rhodes with a swinging neckbreaker. He then tags in Biggin, who climbs into the ring and hits a standard leg drop onto Rhodes. Biggin lifts Rhodes up and tries to whip him into the corner, but Rhodes reverses it, and Biggin sensationally gets thrown into his own partner!

Biggin looks in horror as McGroin flies to the outside, but turns around to recieve the Colossus Press (Forward Falling Double Choke Bomb Press). Rhodes then rests his hands on the body of Biggin, as the referee makes the count: 1-2-3.

Philip: The Royles have been eliminated! Coming next to the ring, weighing at a combined weight of 365 lbs, they are the Junior Tag Team Champions, the Lost Boys!

’Cry Little Sister’ hits and the fans go completely nuts as the Lost Boys run down the ramp, with the title belts around their waists. They both drop the belts at the same time as they slide into the ring and waist no time in attacking the opponents.

[scrawn]

Uriel and Rivera end up being the two to start this fight, and with similar styles this should be a good prospect. They lock up in the centre of the ring and Rivera manages to out-muscle Uriel, throwing him at the ropes. Rivera hits a Lou Thesz Press and Knuckle, and jumps off, bouncing off the ropes and hitting a flying back elbow to the chest. He makes the cover, but Uriel quickly kicks out, jumping to his feet. Uriel then begins to get the upper hand on Rivera, fighting back with several open hand punches, before whipping Rivera at the ropes. Rivera bounces off and Uriel kicks him in the stomach, and hits a double underhook suplex. The fans cheer as Uriel makes the cover, but Rivera manages to kick out before three. Uriel climbs to his feet and tags in his brother, Memnoch, who enters the ring. He walks over to Rivera and throws him at the ropes, then turns and runs at the ropes parallel. As the two meet in the centre of the ring, Memnoch tries a kip-up hurricarana but Rivera sensationally manages to reverse it into a powerbomb. Rivers falls back due to the impact, but manages to tag in Rhodes, and the crowd groans as the man heavier than both Lost Boys put together enters the ring. He picks up Memnoch but into a position so he’s standing, but bent over. Rhodes then hits a powerful elbow to the back, which sends Memnoch to the floor.

Rhodes, not content with ending the punishment there, lifts Memnoch back up to his feet and hits another elbow to the back. Memnoch again falls to the ground and the fans begin to boo as Rhodes drops a standing Banzai drop to Memnoch. The Lost Boys appear to be going out of the match, as the referee makes the count:

1


2


THR-Kickout by Memnoch!

The fans cheer as Rhodes looks at the referee, asking why he didn’t count for three. The referee panics into the corner, but Memnoch comes to the rescue by attacking Rhodes with a punch to the back of the head. But the punch does nothing more than distract Rhodes, who turns around and delivers a huge scoop slam to Memnoch. Forgetting about the referee, Rhodes looks to his partner, who tells Rhodes to climb the turnbuckle. Rhodes does so, but slowly and this allows Uriel to have an idea. He jumps down off the apron as Rhodes climbs to the top, and goes over to the corner Rhodes is climbing, pulling them hard so Rhodes gets his balls smashed. Uriel then runs over to the corner where Rivera is standing, pulling him off the apron and starting a fight. Meanwhile in the ring Memnoch climbs to his feet and sees Rhodes in the position he is in. Smiling, Memnoch climbs the turnbuckle and to a point where he’s facing the ring, and Rhodes has his back to the ring, completely opposite Memnoch. Memnoch then does the seemingly impossible, jumping up and hitting a powerful Enziguri that causes Rhodes to fly off the turnbuckle and into the ring. Memnoch grabs the ropes for safety, and then runs over the Rhodes, making the cover: 1......2.....3!!!

Philip: The Irresistable Force/Immovable Object have been eliminated! And the final team of the match, weighing at a combined weight of 440 lbs...Representing the Senatorial Stable, The Capitalists!

”Born in the USA” by Bruce Springsteen hits and the fans boo as the Capitalists make their way to the ring. In the meantime though, Rivera grabs a steel chair and hits Uriel in the back of the head with it as he leaves with his tag team partner.

Memnoch is currently in the ring alone, having to fight off the Capitalists as they enter. Memnoch starts on Fitsharris, and is able to get in a couple of clubs to the back, but Anthony Kalbe quickly steps in and punches Memnoch it the face, before unleashing a powerful Swinging Neckbreaker. Fitsharris leaves the ring, allowing Kalb to fight Memnoch. Kalb lifts the Lost Boy up, and whips him against the ropes, jumping down onto the ground and allowing Memnoch to run over him, before jumping up and hitting a dropkick. Memnoch flies to the ground in style, as Kalb gives a grin. He lifts Memnoch up to his feet and throws him at the ropes, before hitting the self-proclaimed ‘best drop toe hold in the business’. The moves is done so quickly that Memnoch bounces straight off the ropes, and into the clubbing lariat of Kalb. Kalb makes the cover, expecting the 1-2-3 but to his surprise Memnoch manages to kick out. Kalb isn’t too surprised though, and instead tags in Fitsharris. The former Junior champion enters the ring and lifts Memnoch to his feet, whipping him at the ropes. However Memnoch fights back with a flying lariat and the fans cheer on, hoping Memnoch can reclaim the tag belts. He climbs to his feet, beating Fitsharris with several stomps. Fitsharris though slides out the ring, only to be attacking by Uriel, which gets a pop.

Uriel enters the ring and suddenly there’s chaos as everyone gets into the action. Fitsharris and Uriel are exchanging blows whilst Kalb and Memnoch fight close to the camera. Kalb gets the upper hand on Memnoch, taking him down with a powerful shoulder charge whilst Uriel hits a dropkick to the face of Fitsharris, taking him down. It’s now down to Kalb and Uriel, who walk up and confront each other face-to-face. Kalb pushes Uriel, and Uriel pushes back, and before too long a fight breaks out between the two. Uriel begins to get the upper hand with some punches to the face, but Kalb responds with a cheap eye rake, which ruins Uriel’s momentum. Kalb then hits an Irish whip as as Uriel hits the ropes, Fitsharris pulls down hard, causing Uriel to fly to the outside and take a nasty bump. The two Capitalists look at each other, and smile. The match is theirs for the taking, as Fitsharris picks up a groggy Memnoch. Fitsharris throws Memnoch at the ropes and he bounces back, as Kalb hits the best drop toe hold in the business. As Memnoch flies at the ropes, Fitsharris launches himself into an unbelievable flying leg lariat, almost decapitating Memnoch. Fitsharris makes the cover, and the referee makes the count: 1......2......3!!!

Philip: The Lost Boys have been eliminated, so your winners...AND NEW Junior Tag Champions, The Capitalists!

”Born in the USA” by Bruce Springsteen hits again and the fans don’t know what to do really as the two Capitalists hug each other in the ring. The referee hands them the tag belts, which they snatch off him and hold aloft, before hugging again as they leave the ring. Fallout ends, for the last time of this era, with Memnoch laid out in the centre of the ring, completely destroyed with such a brilliant finisher.

It’s the end of one Era, but the beggining of a new one.

But there is one final question to be answered, and that is simple:

Team Biff, or Team Wolf?

Ragnarok is only minutes away. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

Fade to Black.

End of Show.

Good show.

Roll on the new format.
