Hardkore World Title Holders

[Slams]

*As Matt leaves Mo's locker room, he bumps into Shanna, who's holding her EAW Women's Title*

Shanna: Ignore the German girl, she'll learn soon who the real winner is, as will Jane Tyrra. At least I hold a title, and I have EAW to thank for that. And soon, Tyrra will be gone for good, which will make this place seem like heaven to me.

*She leaves as Matt walks away, more confused than ever*

[Robo-Alec]

"So who is it that said Johnny Parker was dead?"

Fade in to Johnny Parker, who is in an unknown location at this point in time.

"Just because I don't have a match this month doesn't mean I'm finished here. I'm rolling with the FWO, and we will be big here. Next month in Ireland, I'll prove that by defeating Vindication in his type of match, a Straightjacket Match. After that, I'll begin my climb to the top. Eventually, everybody will know the name... of Johnny Parker!"

The scene fades.

[Nine]

Fade to a shot of the front doors to the America West Arena. The doors kick open and in through comes Ryan Champion with a travel-bag slung over his shoulder. A shoulder that should be holding the HKW West Coast Championship. The bag will do, though. For now.

An HKW Personnel quickly approaches Champion…

HKW Personnel: Mr. Champion! Where have you been? Our offices have been trying to contact you all week!

Ryan Champion: Piss off.

HKW Personnel: Ex… Excuse me?

Ryan Champion: Did I stutter?

HKW Personnel: N… n… no…

Ryan Champion: Or are you related to Forest Gump?

HKW Personnel: No. I love the movie but…

Ryan Champion: I’m going to count to three…

The HKW Personnel disappears in a cloud of smoke… well maybe not a cloud of smoke… but he ran away… quickly…

Ryan Champion: I get no respect.

Champion continues walking towards the lockeroom. He notices the camera and decides to have a chat along the way…

Ryan Champion: So, HKW has been trying to contact me all week. That’s nice. It’s nice to know that people care about you. Yeah, I feel all mushy inside. Not fat-ass Soutter mushy, but mushy nonetheless. I’ll admit… I’ve been rather M.I.A. since losing my West Coast Championship match. I just couldn’t figure out how it happened. I had that title in my hand, in my possession. It was right there. I could taste it. Hell, I could smell the grease from all the Popeye’s Soutter had been stuffing down his throat. I’d never come so close to something only to have it disappear right before my very eyes.

Champion rounds the corner…


Ryan Champion: Still, I’m not one to wallow in defeat. I’m not one to lye in a corner like some crouching masturbator… feeling sorry for myself. No. I learn from my mistakes… and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I figured it out, Soutter. I figured out exactly what I did wrong. Hold your breath and I’ll tell you.

Ryan chuckles and winks at the camera…

Ryan Champion: Yeah, I’ll tell you the minute I’m standing over your body… holding the West Coast Championship in my arms. See, I’ve learned from my mistakes, Souttter… and when I get the chance… I’m coming for your title. Don’t scratch it up for me, okay?

Champion snags a water bottle from a concession table as he passes and takes a swig…

Ryan Champion: But this week I’m taking a step down the ladder. Indeed, I have to face Miester. “Miester”? What the fuck does that mean? That’s one of those words that if you were to type it into a computer there would be a line under it. Not a red line, but instead a line that read, “What the fuck?” Yeah, one of those. Regardless of your name, Miester, I enjoy your enthusiasm. I appreciate the fact that you have confidence in yourself. That’s good. I hate going toe to toe with a person that thinks they’ve lost before the match begins. There’s no challenge. However, there is one thing I don’t appreciate.

Champion tosses an empty water bottle into a trashcan…

Ryan Champion: I don’t appreciate you discussing my loss to Soutter. Listen, boy. I came closer to that title than you’re ever going to in Hardkore World. A defeat for me should have been a signal for you that you stand no chance as far as titles go. You stand no chance at capturing gold, just like you stand no chance at beating me tonight. It’s just one of those things that is destined not to happen, kind of like you getting your High School Diploma. It’ll just never happen… but I don’t want you to feel bad. I don’t want you to be in despair over this fact. Instead, I want you to see it in the same way that I saw my match with Soutter… as a learning opportunity. So, do me a favor. Tonight, when we step into the ring together… go in there and give it your best shot. Be a trooper… and take some notes. I don’t mind teaching a fellow competitor a thing or two.

Champion makes his way to the lockeroom, but stops before entering and turns to the camera…

Ryan Champion: Oh yeah, and there’s one more thing I don’t appreciate. I don’t appreciate references to my ass. Seriously. I’ve worked hard for this ass. It’s a nice ass. The last thing I want is someone whose name I can barely comprehend telling me how they’re going to “whoop” it all over Phoenix. Talking like that will only get you one place, and that’s tapping out to the T.O.D. Then again, you don’t have very many other options, now do you?

Ryan Champion exists into the lockeroom to prepare for his match as the camera fades to nowhere…

[~Hardkore Jonnie Valentine~]

[Miester]

*Miester stumbles into his locker room all tired out as Jane Tyrra embraces him again. They have a big kiss before she helps Miester to the couch*

Tyrra: Miester, honey! That was awesome! You took out Champion, which means I think I see a West Coast Title shot in your future. Maybe even in Ireland if 13 wins tonight.

Miester: I seriously doubt he will. He only recently lost the ability to choke in title match situations. But he'll probably choke again here. But... we'll see.

Tyrra: Whatever you say, champ.

*They smile at each other*

Miester: And I see another shot at the Women's Title in your future, but that's after you finally shut Shanna up. And making her say that she respects you means that she'll bevome your personal bitch.

Tyrra: Oh shit! That match is next! You gonna be out there?

Miester: Maybe. We'll see, since Champion wore me out. But whether I do or don't show up out there, I know you'll kick her ass. Good luck... champ.

*Jane smiles and hurries out. The camera follows her*

Tyrra: Shanna! This shit has lasted long enough. I came here looking for a fresh start after you and the rest of those EAW fuckers put CWE out of business. But you had to follow me. I'm about to show you that you made the biggest mistake of your life. I will put you down, make you respect me, then put you out of your fucking misery. This... ends... now!

*Camera cuts to static*

[Tammy]

Tamara Sanchez is in her lockerroom waiting for ...

Tamara: Well, for what am I waiting? The match to start? The slaughtering to begin? The ambulance taking Yuku out of the arena? The tombstone with her name on it?

She ties up her hair, gets up from that shitty c-class chair she sat on all the time, walks over to her bag, gets out her cigs and lightens one.

Tamara: Ya know Shiro, all I got from you by now was some crappy bitching about how much better you and your x-rated "friends" are. How good of a wrestler you are. And all I saw from you was... well, nothing.

She leans against the wall. Just to mention it, this time she's wearing a red stretch-shirt with the numbers 911 written on it in black, her black baggy-pants showing part of her hips and her HKW Womens Title over her shoulder.

Tamara: For a matter of fact, you snapping about my promos being shit doesn't make your promos better. You talked about me getting help for my "first" title defense. Let me tell ya what: it was my 100th title defense- or somethin like that- and I didn't ask for help. Actually that bitch interfering, whatever her name was, will soon enough find out what it means to interfere in THE womenschampioness' match. Ya know, you're not even crazy to eat, dream and think about me. I mean, I can understand every single guy who does so, but you're also disgusting and pitiable. To masturbate about a dream of you standing over my beaten body, c'mon! If you need to masturbate at all -which I in fact don't due to enough men- then couldn't you think bout a better image like Tom Cruise and Mark Dacascos making out? Jesus, on to more serious things now. Killing you sure wouldn't be that much of a problem, but since I can't double my money and my fame in jail, I think this has to wait until shooting bitches becomes a folkssport. You really think you're the total package of a female wrestler, he? Then tell me, why Jonnie gave me a contract before you even made yourself a name as queen of queens. Tell my why I was known as queen of hardcore before you even heard the name of Hulk Hogan. And finally tell me why monsters like Lee Williams and Bruno bowed down to me before you even knew how to spell the word. Now before you start thinking about all this -and I am afraid that your brain could explode thinking bout all those hard questions- lemme tell ya one last thing: tonight in Phoenix, city of the homeless and drunken skinheads, I will put you in the Mexican Destroyer, cripple you with the Phenomenal Clash, bloody you with a 7 year inch through a table, bury your career by breaking your neck with a DDT and LEAVE THIS RING WITH MY WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP to prove once and for all that there's no better female wrestler alive than THE QUEEN OF HARDCORE!

With that she steps on her cigarette, grabs her sunglasses and leaves her lockerroom with a big bang.

[~Hardkore Jonnie Valentine~]

Guillermo O'Bannon: At the EAW vs. CWE battle, Shanna battled Jane Tyrra in a champion vs. champion match. Tyrra won the battle, but Canadian Wrestling Entertainment lost the war. So she came over here to chase after one of the most prestigious Women's titles in the World. Shanna followed after her and cost her that title when she interfered in her match with Tamara Sanchez. Tonight they wrestle until one of them is forced to say I Respect You.

former prowrestling.com internet reporter Matt Boone: What will it take for either one of you to ever say that to me?

[Guillermo & Phil don't hear him]

Phil Blauer: She also lost a match in Tokyo to Dragonatrix for the Hardkore Nippon Women's Grand Championship. Did Shanna mess that one up for her too? Chicks blame everyone for their problems.

[Yuku Shiro]

[The door to Shiro’s locker room opens up as Yuku steps out in a very sexy black hook vest top, with skin tight hip hugging black leather pants, white wrist wraps, and an elbow pad. On the right leg of her pants she has the symbol of a golden dragon etched into the pants. Matt Boone nervously walks up for an interview as Shiro adjusts her wrist bands.]

Matt Boone – Yuku, can I please…please get an interview with you before your match?

Yuku Shiro – I really hate men that beg, but since you are; you got five minutes.

Matt Boone – Tamara Sanchez is pissed beyond belief, and is looking for blood, namely your blood tonight.

Yuku Shiro – Is she now?

Matt Boone – Yes.

Yuku Shiro – That’s a good thing.

Matt Boone – A good thing?

Yuku Shiro – Yeah, very good thing, I want her to be pissed, I want her looking for my blood; I want her so damn pissed off that when she comes to the ring she can’t think straight, nice and stupid like she appears to be, because then Matt, when she can’t think straight, that means she going to make a mistake; and when she makes a mistake that’s half her life span gone. You see I didn’t just get this far on ruthlessness and viciousness; I got this far because of what’s up in the pretty little noggin of mine. Anyone can swing a steel chair, or drive a person through a table, anyone can pick up a kendo stick beat a person till they’re black and blue, it’s easy to do it when one’s angry, but how easy is it to piss a person off to the point that while they’re running to kill you they fall on their own sword? Now that’s something difficult to do, but you’re going to see it tonight, because I’m the lioness on the hunt, and Tamara is a scraggily gazelle, she’s the mice in the cage, and I’m the cobra ready to strike, and tonight I’m going to take my time, fill her full of venom, swallow her whole, and enjoy every inch of her on the way down. This little game of bloody chess ends tonight with me putting the checkmate on Sanchez, and forcing her to BOW DOWN to the QUEEN OF QUEENS, and relinquishes her title to me. She probably doesn’t know what relinquish is, or how to spell it, but trust me…she’s gonna give it up. Now if you’ll excuse me…

Matt Boone – Uh…one more thing Yuku…one more question…

Yuku Shiro (Irritated) – Less then one minute, what is it?

Matt Boone – Did you…actually masturbate to standing over Tamara’s bloody body? Like you said in your last promo?

[Shiro smiles as she moves closer to Boone practically putting her cleavage in his face as she looks down at him, she lowers herself bringing her soft moist lips close to his ear causing him to tremble.]

Yuku Shiro – Wouldn’t you like to know.

[Shiro stands straight, and walks off as Boone watches her leave, and pulls his tie to get some much needed air.]

But tonight in the States, he's looking for his first Hardkore America title shot and has to get through Andrew Karnage. These two will lock up again overseas in Northern Ireland, in a Submission Only match with Soutter as his corner man.

[Asylum]

*We see Kingpin, Ten Cents, and High-Fly enter the building, all three wearing SWAT: Springfield t-shirts. Kingpin is talking on his cellphone, while Ten Cents flips off random backstage workers. High-Fly shakes his head as they all walk through the halls. Kingpin finishes up his phone conversation*

Kingpin: So, dis is Hardkore World, huh? Don't look so hardkore to me. But then again, we may not stick 'round very long.

*All three BWS members stare at each other and begin laughing very loudly, attracting a lot of attention towards themselves. They don't care though.They've never cared, since all three have been in and out of prison like clockwork*

Ten Cents: Dat's a good one, K-Pin. Sayin' dat we won't stick 'round here. Please. We gonna mop up da competition, take those Six Man Titles, an' revolutionize da division.

High-Fly: Y'know something? I think I heard one of our opposing teams tonight say something along those lines. What were those bitches called.... the Future World Order?

Ten Cents: Yeah, dat was dem.

Kingpin: Please, fools. If anybody's gonna be a revolution to dis place, it's gonna be the m*therf*ckin' Black Wall Street, bitches!

High-Fly: No doubt. Let's go through the line-up of bitches we get to own. First, the leader of the fWo... Mr. Dean.

*They all explode in laughter again as they begin walking down the hall again*

Ten Cents: Whadafuck kind of name iz dat!?

Kingpin: Definatly no name fit for a stable leader.

High-Fly: Something we don't have, but don't need.

Ten Cents: Deaner, you picked one fucked up name to use in our midst. We gonna smack your ass around just for havin' dat stupid of a name. Den we gonna make you bleed. Den we finish da job by putting your miserable career to its end.

Kingpin: We can make him kiss my feet before we do that, though.

*They all laugh again*

Ten Cents: Who da next bitch in da fWo?

High-Fly: Some big ass named Mark Evans.

Kingpin: He ain't dat big. Hell, I'm bigger than him. We'll mug da S.O.B. then I'll squash him. Then I'm thinking of two words for da finish. Wha are they boys?

Ten Cents & High-Fly: Kingpin Sling!

Kingpin: Bingo. Who's da last piece of meat in da fWo?

High-Fly: Some wannabe gangsta named Justin Majoy. He's just some punk kid who thinks he's John Cena. Pathetic if you ask me. People who are basically rip-offs of WWE wrestlers have got to be the most pathetic pieces of shit anybody will ever see in the wrestling world.

*All three men laugh again as they reach their locker room. They walk in and like what they see*

Ten Cents: 'Ey, deez guys know how ta treat guys like us. This is way better dan da shitty locker rooms we had to sit in over in SWAT. I could get used to a place like dis.

Kingpin: No kidding. Hey High-Fly, who all happens to be da Six Man Champs 'round these parts anyways?

High-Fly: Some group called the Un-Stable.

Ten Cents: The gay-ass names continue.

High-Fly: First is a dude from SWAT we happen to know: Adrian Tanner, Jr.

Kingpin: I been waitin' to face him in da ring. He thinks he's so big and bad. In truth, he's just some punk who's made an OK name for himself. But now it's high time he kisses that fame goodbye.

High-Fly: They originally had Andrew Karnage as part of the Six Man Champ team, but he just got his ass kicked by James Fierce. Since he was already booked tonight, Tanner went out and got a replacment for tonight's match.

Kingpin: Who'd thet get.

High-Fly: You won't believe this. Of all people, they chose The Rising Sun.

Ten Cents: Hold up. Dey chose dat little ninja freak who also wrestles in Springfield wit us? My god, dey must be a bunch of idiots. Kingpin an' me could throw him 'round no problem. Matter of fact, dat ain't a bad idea.

High-Fly: Finally, they got some guy who recently lost their American Heavyweight Title in Kilroy Evans. I could care less who he is. But since he's in our way, his ass is going down.

All: Amen to dat, fuckers!

*scene fades*

[Arizona's Most Wanted]

[Backstage, Adrian Tanner's just come out of the Pinata' line. This month's Pinata' depicting Platinum Pat (complete with goth clown makeup) with half his face missing and "Lujo's gonna kill you" spray-painted on the back.]

Adrian: "An ok career? An ok career? Are you kidding?"

"Look kiddos, I'm not gonna go into the awesomeness that's been Adrian Tanner right now, but let's just say that I've done more in three years...hell, I've done more in the past three months than you three jobbers have done. EVER."

[Adrian reaches over to a table where Andrew Karnage sits eating some grub and refreshing from the previous match, and picks up his half of the Hardkore World Tag Team Titles, placing it on his right shoulder.]

Adrian: "Kiddos, let's clarify this again for you. This isnt just another Hardkore World show gents. This is Phoenix, Arizona. This is MY show. I dont lose in Phoenix."

Karnage: "Well, there was that one time.."

Adrian: "Two Years ago, Mang. I mean, now. I dont lose in Phoenix NOW. Which means that, obviously..."

"You dont WIN in Phoenix!"

[Adrian moves the Hardkore World Tag Team Title over to his left shoulder.]

Adrian: "Y'know, underestimating me is all well and good. People do it every fricken day, and I teach those people thier lessons, just like you'll learn yours in due time...But man, "some guy who recently lost the Hardkore America title?" Wow."

Karnage: "Did they really say that?"

Adrian: "Yep."

Karnage: "Wow."

Adrian: "I know."

Adrian: "Let me fill ya in on "who Kilroy Evans is," boys. Kilroy Evans is a motherfucker who'll snap your spine just cause it's fun. These guys...Kilroy and Andy, they've broken NECKS for the hell of it."

"We're talking about one-half of a team that was dubbed the Miracle_Violence_Combination II, here fellas. Y'know why they're called that?"

Adrian: "Because they kill tards like you three for the thrill of it. And The Rising Sun owns your house. And your momma's baby's daddies house. Tonight, you're facing the MVC III, and one-half of the New Millinium Midnight Rockin Express, and we're gonna show you three wanna-be Bruno's what the Nightmare Revolution of the UN~STABLE's all about."

"Tonight, the Black Wall-Street dies for our sins."

"And I like it like that."

Karnage: "Amen, brother Tanner."

[FADE]

[xpletive deleted]

Rated X: I'm already looking ahead to Ferocious Jim. Will that be my downfall? Doubt it. You see, there is only one way to beat Rated X and that's to say nothing. Of course, in doing so you risk losing because you haven't said anything, but just getting in the ring with me is a gamble so why not bet it all on a long shot. I feed off what you post, devour it, then force fistfulls of shit down your throat until you beg me to stop. Look at what I just did to Hunglestein.

Rated X: Time's up, Pun. Time to dedicate more time to SWAT: Ruby Ridge, or whatever region it is you're gonna run on Soutter's board. I'm not saying you're not good enough to hold the Hardkore American Heavyweight Title; I'm saying now is not your time.

[Tammy]

Tamara Sanchez is walking down the hallway towards the curtains moments before her match when Matt Boone stops her.

Matt: Miss Sanchez, wait a second! Can I get a few words before your match tonight.

Tamara stops, turns around and takes of her sunglasses. You can see her eyes, cold and focused.

Tamara: A few.

Matt: I just had the pleasure to talk to Miss Shiro...

Tamara: I know, I saw it on a monitor somewhere down the hallway.

Matt: So you surely heard...

Tamara: Of course I heard the crap. What do ya think I'm deaf?

Matt: Well of course not. So, what...

Tamara: Ya know if she thinks I lose my focus on her just cuzz I'm mad, she doesn't know me. If she thinks I will make a mistake just cuzz I'm ready to kill her, she's never seen a match of mine. And if she thinks she can win MY belt tonight just cuzz she's a smart talker, she's not aware of actions speaking louder than words. And that's exactly what'll gonna happen tonight.

Matt: So you're still confi...

Tamara: Oh hell I am!

With that the interview is over, Tamara puts on her sunglasses again, lights up another cigarette and places herself behind the curtain to wait for the massacre to begin.

[Punisher]

["The Punisher" looks on as Rated X speaks.]

Rated X: I'm not saying you're not good enough to hold the Hardkore American Heavyweight Title; I'm saying now is not your time.

[There's no one now behind him; it appears that X's Irish pre-wake is over. It's just a camera, and a very pissed off 6'8" 285 lb. behemoth of a man named Dan Stein.]

DS: Gee whiz X, I should be flattered by that...but I'm not. You sound like Hulk Hogan, not Rated X.

[Stein looks up.]

DS: I don't want your endorsement. I don't need your endorsement. It might make you feel like the Good Ol' Grandpappy of Hardkore World to give generous platitudes to those you feel worthy of passing the torch onto. Well, I don't need it to beat you in the ring. For nearly 9 years, I have gotten by just fine without your endorsement, and I will continue to do fine without it.

[Stein smirks.]

DS: Instead, I'm going to take that torch, douse it with gas, light it, beat you over the head with it, light you on fire and then stick that torch straight up your gooey, cavernous asshole, to light up the way for your pet gerbil to get back out.

DS: I am going to take your Hardkore America title by sheer force of will. Without your tacit approval, I am going to tear you in half. Because that is how wrestling really works- it goes to the man left standing at the end, not just someone you decide is worthy.

DS: I am ready, willing, and more than able to take that Hardkore America title from you, right here and right now in Phoenix. If you don't think it's my time, just wait and watch as history unfolds in front of your very eyes. My time is right now, motherfucker. The Punisher has spoken.

[Fade out.]

[~Hardkore Jonnie Valentine~]

Guillermo O'Bannon: In Albuquerque, "The Unlucky One" 13 won a five man steel cage elimination match between Johnny Parker, Big Mark Evans, Miester, and Bad Boy King Kong.

Phil Blauer: As everyone knows, I was pulling for Johnny Parker.

Guillermo O'Bannon: His bloody win in New Mexico earned him a shot at the Hardkore West Coast title tonight against "The Master of the Powerslam" Paul Soutter.

["Haunted" by Evanescence plays as the lights go out. Purple lights come up as 13 walks out, a cloak hiding his face. He has the UPW Tag Title over his left shoulder and the UPW Hardcore Title on his right shoulder. He walks up the steel steps and raises his arms. The lights come back on as smoke comes out of the turnbuckle posts. He enters the cage and raises his arms. He has three fingers up. Then, he removes the cloak and sits in a corner]
