Hardcore Heaven 2006

[Jonny Stripes]

The show opens with a recap of the previous sunburn, showing Hunter knocking out Joey and showing Ken and Lover confronting World Class Line Up. Then footage of Sucky and Nichos arguement is shown, before the footage of Nightmare becomes involved too. Then a voiceover asks who will stand, after a night of intense hardcore action, before the show starts

The lights dim and ‘Along the Watchtower’ hits the speakers as Joey Malone emerges from behind the curtains with the Australian Title around his waist and a sledgehammer in his right hand, imitating Hunter into a massive crowd of boo’s. He slowly walks down the ramp with a towel around his neck and a bottle of water in his hand, takes a sip of the water and hurls it as far as he can into the crowd. He climbs up onto the ring apron and (purposely) dribbles the water from his lips. He then gets into the ring and wipes his face with the towel, then throwing it to a crew member. Joey begins to swing his arms around and look towards the entrance ramp for his opponent.

Suddenly, ‘King of Kings’ hits the speakers and the crowd jump to their feet as Hunter appears at the top of the ramp, looking down at the ground with a sledgehammer over his left shoulder. He then throws his head back and sprays water into the air as he walks down the ramp, smashing the ring steps with the sledgehammer as he walks past. He then climbs onto the ring apron, looks out to the crowd and sprays another mouthful of water into the air and the crowd go wild. He then gets into the ring, the ref shows him the title belt and the opponents stare each other down as the bell rings.

*Ding Ding*

The referee signals for the two men to place their hammers on the turnbuckle, and they do so immediately. The two men lock up, with Joey coming out on top, twisting Hunter’s arm around into a standing arm wrench. The hold is kept for about 10 seconds before Hunter reverses it into an arm wrench of his own, then into an arm lock behind Joey’s back. Hunter then kicks out one of Joey’s knees, causing him to fall flat on his face. Hunter then lets go of the lock, runs and bounces off the ropes and hits Malone with a Harley Race knee to the face as Joey jumps to his feet. Hunter hooks Joey’s inside leg: 1…Joey kicks out!

Jonathon Jefferies: I can’t get over the resilience of Joey Malone. That could easily break a nose!!

When the two are both back on their feet, they both bounce off opposite ropes and each go for a clothesline, knocking the two down. The referee reaches a five count, when Joey gets back to his feet. He runs over to Hunter and tries to lock in a Fujiwara Arm Bar, but Hunter throws him into the ropes, but Joey rebounds and dropkicks him in the face. Instead of covering, Joey crawls over to his corner and fetches the sledgehammer.

Tom C: Looks like that damn hammer is going to come into play pretty early. Get ready for some bloodshed, folks.

By this time both men are back to their feet. Hunter is staring at Joey, and Joey is staring back at him with a big grin on his face. Joey then swings the unprotected hammer at Hunter’s head, but Hunter ducks and slides over to grab his. The two men are then standing on either side of the ring, each with a sledgehammer in their possession. They begin to circle around the ring, before Hunter charges at Joey, holding the sledgehammer horizontally, charging him into the ropes. Hunter goes to ‘bring the hammer down’ but Joey slides out of the ring and Hunter smashes the ring canvas, leaving a dent from the force. With fear in his eyes, Joey walks around and climbs into the opposite side of the ring to Hunter. Again, the two men begin to circle the ring – staring each other down before they both move closer to the centre. Holding the hammers like bats, they both swing in unison – causing the handles of the hammers to collide with such force that they both snap in half. The two men are stunned, staring at the broken handles of the hammers. Then, Malone throws what’s left of the handle at Hunter and slides out of the ring. The crowd boo Joey as Hunter stares down the Itallion Stallion.

Jonathon Jefferies: That’s what I call strategy!

Tom C: That’s not strategy, that’s plain cheating!

Jonathon Jefferies: How is it cheating? This is a sledgehammer match after all…

Joey then retrieves a hammer from under the ring and slides back into the ring. Hunter tells Joey to drop the weapon and for the two to have a proper wrestling match. Joey shakes his head, and Hunter comes closer. Joey then gives in and begins to put the hammer down, but just as he is about to drop the hammer, he swings it like a racquet at Hunter – but Hunter catches it with one hand and snatches it off the champion. Hunter shakes his head and hands the sledgehammer to the referee, telling him to remove it from the ring. The referee does so, and the two lock up. Hunter comes out on top with an armbar, but it is quickly broken when Malone kicks Hunter in the right knee. As Hunter is kneeling on one knee, Joey bounces off the ropes and hits Hunter with some of his own medicine, a Harley Race running knee attack. Joey covers, but doesn’t even get a one count.

Joey then helps Hunter to his feet, Irish-whipping him into a corner. Joey then runs at him and hits a running Monkey Flip. Malone climbs to the second rope and tries for a diving fist drop, but Hunter raises his leg and kicks the Australian Champion straight in the face. The two men are down and ref begins his count: 1…2…3…4…5…Hunter gets back to his feet, slowly followed by Joey, who now has a split lip. Hunter runs at Joey and hits him with a quick clothesline. Joey gets straight back up, only to get hit with another. When Joey gets up again, Hunter goes for another but Malone ducks and hits Hunter with a reverse neck breaker. Instead of covering, Joey quickly makes his way out of the ring and snatches the hammer from the time keeper, then jumping back into the ring.

Joey tries to ‘bring the hammer down’ on Hunter, but Hunter rolls out of the road. Joey tries again but Hunter rolls out of the way again. Joey tries one more time, but Hunter rolls away again and pulls out Joey’s right leg, tripping him over causing Joey to fall face first onto the hammer. Hunter then smiles at the crowd and gets Joey Malone in place for the Pedigree. As soon as Hunter gets Joey in place, Hare and Julio come running down the ramp. Julio distracts the referee on the other side of the ring and Hare punches Hunter straight in the face, causing him to let go of Malone’s arms. The two men then hit Hunter with a double superkick, sending Hunter crashing to the floor. Hare rolls out of the ring and Julio tells the referee to start his count: 1…2…2.9999 HUNTER KICKS OUT!

Tom C: You think Malone has resilience!?! Hunter just kicked out of a double superkick by Hare and Joey. And Hare and Julio aren’t even meant to be here!!!

The crowd goes wild and the three members of World Class Lineup stand in their places, shocked as ever. Joey begins to panic, so he picks up the sledgehammer. But Hunter is back to his feet by this time, and hits Joey with a spinebuster! Hunter then signals for the turnbuckle and the crowd go wild, but Hunter takes his time to get his breath back. When Hunter finally begins to climb the turnbuckle, Joey is back to his feet with the sledgehammer in his hands. Hunter notices this and tries for an axe-handle. But Joey holds one end of the hammer in either hand and Hunter lands on it with a leg either side.

Jonathon Jefferies: Now I see why Hunter barely ever uses the turnbuckle!

Joey smiles as his stale-mates and lifts Hunter’s head to look at him. Joey spits straight in his face and hits the Napoli Cutter. He covers by pushing down on Hunter’s chest with both fists, laughing to Julio and Hare: 1…2…3.

The bell rings and the ring announcer announces Joey as the winner. The ref hands Joey his title belt and all three members of World Class Lineup celebrate over the exhausted Hunter in the ring.

The scene goes backstage, where Ken and Lover are standing in there locker room. Lover tells Ken that he is a tag champion already, but he wants to know what Ken has done as a team lately? Ken reminds him that his team was the most dysfunctional in DUEW history, because his partner couldn't stand him. Lover tells him to step off the family success story, because it is gonna get a lot more successful tonight, when they take the tag gold. Ken says amen to that, as the show goes back to the ring

"In the End" by Linkin' Park plays through the speakers in the MCG and the crowd rise to their feet, from those standing on the pitch, to those in the very top seats of the stadium. Nicho "Z" walks down, pumping the crowd up as he paces up and down the specially made ramp. He gets halfway down when Sucky rushes down the ramp and smacks him in the back with his baseball bat. Nicho goes down on his knees in pain and his music stops as Sucky stands over him, hitting him in the forehead with straight fists.

JJ: "This fantastic crowd reaction just turned to one of pure hatred as Sucky rushed Nicho there. Smart, but dirty strategy"

The ref runs out of the ring and onto the ramp to tell them to bring it inside but Sucky ignores him and brings Nicho to his knees. He begins to run with him and tosses him off of the end of the ramp, sending him flying hard into the metal barrier, seperating them from the fans

JJ: "Pure, freaking impact ladies and gentlemen"

Sucky follows Nicho down and brings his bat with him. He grabs Nicho by his hair and leads him to the ring, eventually rolling him inside and letting the ref start the match

Tom C: "We are under way here, but I don't know for how long"

JJ: "Nicho has a lot of fight in him, don't count him out yet"

Sucky quickly gets back on Nicho by hitting him in the gut with the bat, before dropping Nicho quickly with a DDT. Sucky goes for the cover, but only gets a two count

JJ: "I told you, he has a lot of darn fight left in him. It'll take more than that to keep him down"

Sucky pulls Nicho up again and begins hitting him with right hands, before backing him against the ropes and whipping him to the other side of the ring. Nicho however reverses it and goes for a clothesline on the way back but Sucky ducks. Nicho turns to face him and bends for a back body drop but Sucky has it scouted and just shakes his head, before hitting a big knee into the side of Nichos head

JJ: "By God, this Sucky or Matt or Matt Holtham, whatever he wants to be called, is a god damn physical specimen!"

Nicho stumbles back onto the ropes and Sucky smiles maliciously and slowly follows, but gets caught out and whalloped with a massive clothesline.

Tom C: "That shook the damned ring"

Sucky quickly gets up and still has his bat in hand but he walks right into a big punch. Sucky stumbles back but quickly goes in again, only to return with another punch. This time Nicho charges him and hits a big clothesline.

JJ: "Nicho is getting ready to take this son of a bitch down, get him Nicho!"

Tom C: "Calm down Jon, the match isn't over yet"

Sucky slowly gets to his feet and Nicho is waiting for him, crouching slightly. Sucky turns and Nicho gets him up onto his shoulders for the Nicho Drop but Sucky escapes by hitting a shot with the bat to Nichos back

JJ: "That dirty son of a gun"

Tom C: "Great strategy in my opinion"

JJ: "Thats cos your a dirty son of a gun too!"

Sucky slides off of Nichos shoulders and slowly approaches him. He kicks him in the gut and pulls his head down between his legs and shouts for the pedigree, but Nicho powers out and back drops him out of it.

JJ: "Now Nicho is angry and its his time to shine"

Suckys escort, Paul Heyman, jumps up onto the apron with a kendo stick but gets knocked off quickly by a Nicho punch

Tom C: "See ya Paully, thanks for coming"

Nicho turns back to face Sucky but the lights quickly flash out. After a few seconds they come back on, but standing in front of him is Nightmare

JJ: "What? What the hell is he doing here?"

Nicho looks stunned for a moment but then his expression becomes one of pain as Nightmare grabs his throat, before slamming him down with a chokeslam. The lights flash off again and Nightmare is gone and Sucky is covering Nicho...1...2...3

JJ: "Nicho just got screwed outta this match up. I hope Sucky is proud cos he just got a cheap win!"

COMMERCIAL BREAK

[Jonny Stripes]

The scene now goes backstage, where Joey Malone is standing in front of the camera. He tells the people at home they need to sit down and get ready, because like Nicho promised, he gets 5 minutes on the mic to say whatever he wanted and he forewarns us, that it is all about Mc-fuckin' greedy-donalds! Joey smiles smugly and begins to walk away when Mr. Howard comes into view and tells him to slow down. Mr. H informs Joey that he has already caused enough trouble with his talk of McDonalds and DUEW had been threatened by the big wig lawyers. That is why Joey cannot say anymore about McDonalds until the court case is over and that is why DUEW will be going on a one month leave of absence, because we have been legally threatened. Mr H then turns to the camera and tells the fans that Joey is the one to blame for a month free of DUEW. Joey is holding his hands over his face as the show goes to the ring

‘Ticket to Heaven’ hits the speakers and golden pyro begins falling from above the curtains. The arena begins to light up all different colours as the team of Mr Lover (wearing his usual ring attire with a yellow Hawaiian shirt) and Ken Paradise (wearing normal attire with pink Hawaiian shirt) make their way out onto the stage, closely followed by the 9 Lovers Babies. The eleven then begin to dance at the top of the ramp with the crowd going wild for them. After about a minute, Lover and Ken gets ‘good luck’ kisses from a few ladies before the ladies make their way backstage and the tag team make their way down the ramp, giving fans high-fives on their way down. The two then go to opposite turnbuckles and hype up the crowd before jumping into the ring and giving each other high-fives.

Then, ‘Alright’ hits the speakers and Matt ‘The Money’ Hare and Julio emerge from the curtains wearing yellow tights and with their tag titles around their waists. They look around at the crowd who are booing and laughing at them. Hare spits in the air and shakes his head then the two head down the ramp. They stand at the bottom of the ramp, staring into the eyes of their opponents before sliding into the ring and posing on two adjacent turnbuckles, only to get booed by the crowd.

The referee calls for the belts from the champions, and hangs them on the belt ring as Hare takes off his ring jacket and the opposing tag teams stare each other down. Two members of the ring crew set up five ladders around the ring and sit a bag of thumbtacks in each corner.

*Ding Ding*

Lover runs straight at Julio and Ken runs straight at Hare, both men launching themselves at their opponent in the form of a Lou Thesz Press, knocking them to the mat and laying into them with numerous punches. When the brothers are finished, they give each other high-fives and hype up the crowd before Lover helps Julio to his feet and Irish-whips him into the ropes. On the rebound, the brothers hit a double dropkick and the crowd cheer. But the all-of-a-sudden get knocked over by a ladder, being held horizontally by Hare. Julio gets to his feet and Hare tells him to get a ladder of his own, and Julio obeys. The two are now in the ring holding ladders. Ken Paradise tries to get up, but Julio charges him with the ladder, causing him to go through the second and third ropes to the outside. As Hare and Julio are distracted by Ken, Lover dropkicks Hare into the corner – causing him to be trapped between the turnbuckle and the ladder. Lover kicks the ladder Julio is holding, causing Julio to drop is and roll out of the ring. Mr Lover then hypes up the crowd and runs at Hare, running straight up the ladder until he is almost at the top. Hare then pushes the ladder into the centre of the ring, but Lover’s balance allows him to fall onto his feet. He runs at Matt and dropkicks him into the corner.

Tom C: What athleticism shown by the former Australian Champion, Mr Lover.

As Lover goes for a Stinger Splash, Julio trips Hare by the leg, so Lover goes flying into the turnbuckle. Julio then rushes to the top rope and hits Mr Lover with a flying cross body. Julio picks up the ladder and sets it up in the middle of the ring, adjusting it so it is directly under the tag belts. As he begins to slowly climb up, Ken Paradise climbs up onto the ring apron. He then jumps up and springboard dropsaults Julio off the ladder. The crowd go absolutely wild. All four men are lying in and around the ring. About a minute passes until the first man gets to his feet, Hare. Matt looks around at the other men lying in the ring, smiles and grabs the closest bag of thumbtacks. He unties the top of the sack and pours about half a bag around the ladder that is still set up in the middle of the ring, carefully smothering them around with his fingers. He then helps Mr Lover up to his feet and lifts him up for a body slam onto the tacks, but Paradise quickly jumps to his feet and pulls Lover’s legs backwards, causing the two to fall backward onto the mat. When Lover and Ken are standing, then see Julio roll out of the ring and begin to walk around to the bottom of the ramp. Lover and Paradise both nod at each other as Ken gets un his hands and knees about a metre away from the ropes. Lover then runs to the opposite ropes, bounces off and jumps off Ken’s back, front flipping over the ropes and onto Julio. The crowd go wild and Lover signals for Ken to climb for the belts. Ken begins to climb, but when he gets about half way, Matt Hare emerges on the ring apron. He waits a few seconds, then jumps up and springboards from the ropes onto the ladder, landing as though he had just climbed it himself.

Tom C: This match is definitely living up to its expectations, Jonathon.

Jonathon Jefferies: And I’m sure it’s FAR from over.

The two trade punches for a few seconds before Hare takes a cheap advantage and smashes Kens head on a step, causing Ken to fall off the ladder.

Matt is left alone on the ladder, and sees that Julio and Lover are beginning to get back to their feet. He looks up at the belts, then back at Julio and Lover, then back at the belts, then at Julio and Lover. After one final look at the belts, he shakes his head and turns his attention to the pair outside the ring. Julio sees Hare’s plans, so he punches Lover hard in the face to stun him before moving out of the road. Hare jumps from the top of the ladder – onto the top rope and does a springboard Shooting Star Press onto Mr Lover on the outside. The crowd go absolutely wild and start up ‘HO-LY-SHIT!’ chants.

Jonathon Jefferies: Oh my god! I’ve never seen anything like that in my whole time of being involved in wrestling!

After a few minutes of recovery from Hare and Lover, and Julio trying to help out his partner, all four men get back into the ring. After the ref checks for the men’s health, the action gets back on. Hare and Ken begin to slug it out, as do Julio and Mr Lover. Julio then kicks Lover in the genitals, Julio then throws Lover’s head under his arm and DDT’s him straight on the mat. His attention is then directed over to Ken Paradise, who is currently getting the better of Hare. Julio hits Paradise with a haymaker to the back of the head, sending him falling into the turnbuckle. The two members of World Class Lineup the give each other a high-five and Hare heads to the top rope. Julio brings Ken out from the corner, turns him around and hits a backbreaker, then keeping him resting on his knee. Both members of WCL then yell out the words ‘Cut the cheese!’ and Matt jumps out and legdrops Kens head. With both members of their opposing team down, Julio and Hare decide to test the water and briefly celebrate.

Tom C: Typical World Class Lineup, too up-themselves to take advantage of the opening…

Just then, out of nowhere, Lover dropkicks Julio in the back, sending him flying out of the ring and onto the outside, leaving Mr Lover and Matt Hare the only two men standing. Ken Paradise then slowly rolls out of the ring and grabs another ladder, sliding it into the ring. On the other side of the ring, Julio grabs a ladder of his own and sliding it into the ring. Without noticing the other, each man sets up a ladder next to the original, so there is a line of three ladders in the ring. Julio then grabs a bag of tacks from a nearby corner and pours them in a big ‘pool’ in front of the middle ladder. Lover then charges at Julio but (with warning from Matt Hare) Julio ducks, and as Lover comes back to hit him Julio swings what’s left of the bag of tacks, smacking Mr Lover straight in the face.

Tom C: Now that can’t be allowed!

Jonathon Jefferies: Well, I don’t know why it shouldn’t. Like I said during the Australian Title match…it’s all in the rules of the match.

Hare and Julio give each other a high five and begin to climb the same ladder, but on opposite sides. But as they get to about half way, the two brothers begin to climb the ladders next to them, Lover on Hare’s side and Ken on Julio’s side. When the two teams reach the top, they begin slugging it out between each other. As usual, Julio takes a cheap advantage and pokes Ken Paradise in the eye, causing him to pull away from the slugfest. Julio then gets Ken’s head between his legs and hooks his arms.

Jonathon Jefferies: Oh here it comes. A Piñata from the ladder!!!

But instead of flipping Ken for a tigerbomb, Julio jumps out and hits a Pepsi Plunge onto the big pool of tacks.

Tom C: Oh my GOD! Julio just hit some sort of modified Pedigree from the ladder onto the tacks. Ken Paradise must have at least a hundred tacks in his face!!!

The crowd start up loud ‘HO-LY-SHIT!’ chants and Hare and Lover look on in amazement. After about five seconds of looking on at the car wreck that is Ken Paradise and Julio Gonzales, Lover and Matt begin to slug it out again. Lover gets the advantage and grabs Matt by the head. Lover begins to smash it on the top of the ladder until it splits the former World Champion open; Lover then jumps out and hits a one handed face crusher onto the mat. With all four men down on the mat, chants start up in the crowd and they begin to cheer on Lover and Ken.

After three or four minutes of the men recovering in the ring, Lover and Julio begin to get to their feet. As soon as they are both standing, they catch the eye of the other man. Being on opposite sides of the ladder the two start to slowly climb the ladder, never taking their eyes off their opponent. When they get to the top they begin slugging it out again. After a few seconds, Hare starts to climb up on the side of Mr Lover. As soon as Hare gets to the top, Ken Paradise gets to his feet with blood all over his face. Ken climbs up two steps of the ladder, turns around and gets Julio in the position for a drop-powerbomb. Ken then slams Julio straight onto the remaining tacks. The crowd go wild and Julio starts to roll around on the ring canvas in pain with many thumbtacks stuck in his back. Meanwhile, still on the ladder Lover has got the advantage of Matt again, this time looking to hit the Love Hit. Just as Lover goes to jump out to hit it, Ken yells for his brother to stop. Ken then turns the ladder that the two are positioned on around so it is facing the pool of tacks. Lover smiles at his brother, but Hare (who has now had time to recover) head butts Lover in the genitals. This gives Hare the opportunity to climb to the top and gets Mr Lover in a reverse DDT position.

Tom C: Don’t tell me he’s going to use that ‘Reverse leglock slam’ he’s been using in recent weeks!

Hare raises one arm and lifts Lover out and hits the slam onto the hundreds of remaining tacks, hooking Lover’s left leg in mid-air. Fans start up massive ‘THIS-IS-AWE-SOME!’ chants that fill the building. And as though the match hasn’t overcome the expectations, Ken Paradise sets a ladder up about 2 metres away from the turnbuckle, facing it. He then drags Hare into the middle of the two. He then climbs up onto the top rope, not taking his eyes off Hare. Then in one motion he jumps from the turnbuckle to the third-to-top step of the ladder and jumps out for a massive moonsault.

Jonathon Jefferies: could this match be any better?!

Tom C: I wouldn’t think so, Jon. But there is no limit for these four guys!

More chants come from the hyped-up crowd who continue to get more excited as the match progresses. Ken Paradise, after about half a minute of recovery time then goes for a lionsault from the middle rope to top things off, but when he is in mid-air, he notices Hare roll out of the way, causing him to land on his feet. What he doesn’t notice is Julio standing right where Ken is about to land. Paradise lands perfectly in the middle of Julio’s legs, and Julio hooks the arm, lifts him up and hits a Tigerbomb. What the pair doesn’t notice is Mr Lover slowly climbing the ladder. As they do notice, Matt hands Julio something and Julio rushes up the ladder. He reaches the top at the same time Lover does. As Lover goes to reach for the belts, Julio smacks Lover straight in the face. As Julio takes his hand away, it reveals he had stuck a thumbtack directly into Lover’s skull. In shock, Lover falls backward. And as though things can’t get worse for the two brothers from Miami, Lover falls horizontally into a mid-air RKO from Matt ‘The Money’ Hare. Julio then stands on the top of the ladder and retrieves the two title belt – throwing Matt’s down to him.

Tom C: There we go again, World Class Lineup win by cheating…

Jonathon Jefferies: It isn’t cheating, Tom!! Where in the rules of the match does it say you aren’t allowed to push a thumbtack into your opponent’s skull?! Nowhere – therefore it’s allowed!

Julio jumps down onto the mat and the two men celebrate in the middle of the ring. But just as the two are about to exit the ring, they are called on by the two brothers, Lover and Ken Paradise who are standing bloodied in the middle of the ring with their hands extended. The tag champions turn around, hesitate for a minute and shake the hands of their opponents. Then, all of a sudden Hare pulls Ken’s hand and gets him in a fireman’s carry. HARE CUT! Julio also yanks the hand of Lover, smashing him over the head with his title belt. A bloodied Matt Hare and a tired Julio then slide out of the ring and walk backwards up the ramp, looking at their lifeless opponents in the ring. At the top of the ramp, they are joined by Joseph Malone, holding his Australian Title him his hand and a bloodied towel around his neck. The last shot of the three is them all holding their title belts above their heads as they walk backstage

The lights of the MCG begin to flash slowly as the ring crew clean up the ring from the tacks and ladders match. Then on the massive titanrton a video begins to play...

Voice over: "Two best friends..."

A shot of Jonny and Dizzy holding the tag titles in the air is shown

Voice: "...ripped apart by a lust for gold"

A shot of Jonny standing over Dizzy's prone and bloody body the night after ADDU is shown

Voice: "Now it all ends tonight!"

A final shot of the two men staring down is shown, before we go back to the arena as the picture fades out

JJ: “This is going to be a huge match, maybe even the biggest in DUEW history. In front of a 100,000 strong crowd these two greats of our business are going to meet head on”

As the debris from the previous match is cleared from the ring, the cage begins to descend from the massive rigging of lights at the top of the MCG. The security men move the fans back from the security barriers, as the cage falls into place right on the edge of the walls. The crew staff locks it to the ground as Jonny starts to enter

Ring Announcer: “On his way to the ring, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but now residing in Sydney, Australia, weighing 270 pounds, please welcome the challenger, Jonny Stripes!”

Tom C: “I don’t know how you can not like Jonny’s chances going into this match. The guy is a bona fide champion”

JJ: “Oh I make no bones about the fact that Stripes has the pedigree of a champion, however I don’t see how you can ignore Disturbed’s win record over the guy, especially in the last few months”

"Kashmir" by Led Zepellin plays through the arena and Jonny Stripes comes out and stands under the titantron. A shower of yellow/gold fireworks comes from the bottom of the titantron and falls all around him. As they stop he crouches slightly, before springing up and then walking down to the ring. He walks through the small door to the inside of the curved cage and he quickly rolls into the ring, where he waits for Disturbed to enter

Ring Announcer: “And now his opponent, the World Heavyweight champion, from Sydney, weighing 288 pounds, Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisturbed!”

JJ: “Listen to that ovation for the World and Deathmatch Champion!”

The fans are cheering already in anticipation and they go even crazier when all of the arena lights go out. “Bound” by the band Disturbed plays, lights begin flashing to the music and then the singer shouts READY and the lights light up very brightly. Disturbed strolls out, as fireworks go off either side of him. He gets into the ring, and poses while standing on the middle of the ropes. Behind him, on the stage, 'DIZZY' lights up in blue and gold fireworks.
JJ: “The referee just explaining to these men what is on the line exactly”

The referee calls over the two men and neither looks at the opponent. He explains to them the action can’t go outside the cage and neither of them is to try to leave. He tells them submissions and pinfalls count only inside the ring. Dizzy and Jonny both nod and the ref asks them to shake hands, but the two men just back off of each other and wait in opposite corners of the ring

JJ: “These two are trying to play mind games here but I don’t think that’s the way to go about it. I think they just gotta get themselves into the action”

Tom C: “I guess that’s why you are a 10 time World Champion then, eh Jon? These guys no what they are doing, let them do there own thing”

JJ: “I’ll pay that”

The ref calls the bell and the two men begin circling each other. After a minute or so they move in on one another, however Dizzy pulls out at the last second before a grapple and starts winding the fans up. Disturbed moves in again, this time with a resounding “Dizzy” chant behind him, however this doesn’t help, as Jonny ducks around him and locks in a waistlock

Tom C: “This isn’t what I expected to start this match. I thought we were going to see a slobberknocker but I guess not”

JJ: “Nothing wrong with a bit of mat wrestling”

This is the start of a good deal of chain wrestling, with Disturbed quickly wriggling out of the waist lock to apply his own, only for Jonny to elbow out of it and get a standing arm wringer on. Jonny hits Dizzy with a shoulder block while holding his arm and Dizzy goes flying to the ground. Jonny goes to quickly get a lock on him while he is on the ground, however Dizzy anticipates it and ends up with his own standing arm bar on Jonny, however he gets out of that by pulling Disturbed into him and locking his head under his arm, before whipping back for a perfect Northern Lights Suplex

JJ: “Oh my, that was about as faultless a Northern Lights Suplex you or I will ever see Tom”

Jonny reaches over and goes for the cover but Disturbed kicks out before the two. Jonny gets up and brings Disturbed with him and hits a few right hands on him, before irish whipping him to the other side of the ring. As Disturbed comes back at him Jonny smashes him with a spinning shoulder block. Jonny quickly follows it up with an elbow drop and a cover, but only receives a two count on that

JJ: “Jonny Stripes isn’t looking to play around in this match, he just wants a quick finish”

Tom C: “Can you blame him? He can destroy Disturbed another time, right now is his chance for the title and I think he wants to take it!”

Jonny brings Disturbed up to his feet again and hooks him up for a suplex, which he hits after a moment or two hanging in the air. Jonny goes for a cover but again Disturbed kicks out

JJ: “It’s becoming obvious that Jonny is going to have to do more than that to win the match”

Jonny has Disturbed up again and whips him into the corner and follows it up with a massive Star and Stripe Splash, driving his elbow right into Dizzys face. Disturbed grabs at his face and rolls out of the ring and lies next to the apron. Jonny smiles wickedly, seeing he has done some damage and goes to follow him. He stands on the apron and dives off, going for a double axe handle but Disturbed jumps up quickly and smashes him in the stomach with his fists.

JJ: “It looks like Disturbed was playing possum there and what a great way to get the momentum back his way”

Dizzy slowly moves over to Jonny, who is holding his stomach in pain, and picks him up by his hair. Dizzy hangs on and shouts something in his face, before throwing him violently into the cage. Jonny gets wiped out completely and hits his head against the floor hard

Tom C: “This is what I was talking about, a real slobberknocker!”

Dizzy smiles sickly and pulls Jonny back up again, this time sending him into the ring post. Before he can fall he grabs him again and sends him into the cage once more. Jonny is reeling now and this gives Disturbed some time to go hunting under the ring. He begins to shift some things and eventually pulls out a chair and a table. He picks up the table and goes to put it in the ring, but struggles to get it there, buying Jonny some time. Finally Dizzy gets it inside the ring, however when he turns to grab the chair he finds Jonny is standing there with it and he promptly gets smacked over the arm with it

JJ: “I hate to say it but Disturbed made a bad move there. He should have stayed on Jonny and now he is paying the price”

Jonny begins to stalk Dizzy around the outside of the ring and hits another two chair shots to his arm. He goes for a third but Dizzy decides to stop running and faces him, kicking Jonny in the stomach just as he goes to swing. Dizzy grabs Jonny and rolls him inside the ring and then follows him, taking his chair in hand

JJ: “And Disturbed back in control now but who knows for how long”

Tom C: “I don’t like what he is doing here, it looks too dangerous!”

Disturbed has laid the chair on Jonny’s prone body and has quickly run towards the ropes and bounces off, hitting a lionsault on Jonny, driving the chair into him. Dizzy goes for the cover but only gets a two count

JJ: “That was very close to a win for Dizzy!”

Disturbed gets up and looks at Jonny and shakes his head and mouths “Fucking…Tough…Bastard”, before stumbling over to where the table was lying flat. He picks it up and sets it up in the corner. He goes back over to Jonny and grabs him with one hand by his hair, before grabbing with his free hand the chair

JJ: “I think he has something in mind here, something to end this match once and for all!”

Jonny tries to get away by hitting Dizzy in the gut but Disturbed simply repaid him by smashing his knee right into Jonny’s gut. Disturbed puts the chair on the table and lines Jonny up. He grabs him and goes to twist him around to put him through the table with a Dizzy Bomb but halfway through the air Jonny smashes Dizzy hard on the back and Jonny gets free, this time with his back to the table

JJ: “Now its Jonny’s turn to try something here”

Tom C: “Looks like he is playing it simple, going for a suplex”

Jonny has Dizzy hooked up for a suplex and he pulls back and takes him high into the air. He keeps him high for almost a minute but before he can slam him down Disturbed flips out of the hold and lands on the other side of the table on his feet. Jonny turns around to see what happened and gets walloped by the chair. Disturbed grabs Jonny by the arm and rolls him onto the table, placing the chair on top of him

Tom C: “Oh God! Don’t do it Dizzy, you’ll hurt yourself too!”

Disturbed climbs the turnbuckle very slowly but as he gets to the top he looks ready to do it. He calls out to the fans, who give him a wild roar in approval but as he is about to fly off the top Jonny whacks him on the back with the chair. Disturbed shouts out in pain but Jonny gives no respite and whacks him three more times

JJ: “Jonny has Dizzy in a very dangerous position here and I think it might all be over if he can hit a big move”

Jonny goes out onto the apron and then from there climbs in front of Dizzy on the turnbuckles. He puts his head between his legs and pulls him up, onto his shoulders, before jumping off and hitting a Sit Down Powerbomb from the top of the turnbuckles through the tables. Jonny covers Disturbed and gets the three count

JJ: “Jonny Stripes has finally won, has finally defeated his nemesis and former best friend, Disturbed. Goodnight Australia, you have a new champion!”

The show fades out with Jonny leaning against the side of the cage, his new championship in his hands
