C2W CRUSH EPISODE 8

[C2W]

CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING PRESENTS

[C2W]

BM: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th installment of Crown Championship Wrestling Crush! You are looking live at a jam-packed arena.

TR: And there won;t be a single disappointed fan in the house tonight.

TR: Because we've got one electrifying show lined up for you tonight.

BM: That's right, Rocky. The C2W fans around the world are in for a treat tonight.

BM: My name is Brent Musburger. And I am sitting next to my broadcast partner, one of the most decorated wrestlers of all time, The Rock!

TR: And don;t you forget it, Musburger. The Brahma Bull and the masses of C2W fans are ready to kick things off. Let's get this night started.

[C2W]

*Shawn Michael's music plays*

MB: Making his way to the ring, C2W General Manager, Shawn Michaels!

TR: The sellout kid is in the building.


*Crowd boos*

SM: Lay it on me, you greasy lard bags. I understand. You need an outlet. Because while you're sitting in a pool of your own butt sweat, I'm wrapped in a thousand dollar suit, calling the shots! And that's one thing you and that redneck hillbilly Stonecold need to understand.


SM: You don't cross the boss. So tonight, a newly signed Stonecold Steve Austin will be in a handicap match with the Tag Team Champions, Jeri-Show. And since we're on the subject of the Tag Team Titles...


SM: Tonight, we will name a number one contender for the Tag Team Championships! I've selected two talented teams that I think are deserving of a shot. And that #1 Contendership match... IS NEXT!
 

BM: There you have it, folks. Sheriff Shawn is laying down the law and we have a tag team contest coming up next!

[C2W]

With life, comes death. It is an inevitable, invisible force. It is beautiful. It is violent. It is everlasting. The requiem for our souls is sounding.

REGAL REQUIEM
LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW

[C2W]

*Goldrush's music plays*

MB: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a tag team match! The winners of this contest will be the #1 Contenders for the C2W Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the team of Shelton Benjamin and Goldust... Goldrush!

TR: I still think that this is the oddest duo in professional wrestling today.

BM: Even odder than the Mizfits, Rocky?

TR: Even odder than the Mizfits, Musburger.

*The Radicalz's music plays*

MB: And their opponents, the team of Perry Saturn and Chris Benoit, The Radicalz!

BM: The Radicalz are a newly signed C2W team that are looking to make a name for themselves tonight.

TR: With two technically sound competitors like Benoit and Saturn, it shouldn't be hard to do so. 

*bell rings*

BM: Benjamin and Saturn getting this thing started by locking up in the center of the ring.

TR: Benjamin quickly locks in a headlock.

TR: Going for a take-down...

TR: Benjamin is able to execute a headlock take-down on Saturn.

BM: But Saturn rolls Shelton over and pins his shoulders!

R: 1...2...

TR: Shelton Benjamin kicks out just in time.

BM: Perry Saturn is trying to work his way back to his feet.

TR: Yes, but Benjamin was too quick and locks Perry Saturn in the headlock again.

BM: Saturn looking to reverse here.

BM: Look at the athleticism of Shelton Benjamin!

TR: Perfect dropkick!

BM: And down goes Saturn.

BM: Benjamin goes for the cover, but Saturn kicked out before the ref even got a chance to count to 1.

TR: It's going to take more than a dropkick to keep any of The Radicalz down.

BM: Shelton Benjamin now charging toward Perry Saturn.

TR: Nice armdrag by Saturn!

TR: Saturn's in-ring ability is amazing, Musburger. He's quick and he's got one hell of a wrestling tool belt.

BM: Saturn drops his knee into Shelton Benjamin's forehead!

BM: Perry Saturn makes the tag to his partner, Chris Benoit.

TR: Benoit comes rushing into the ring.

TR: And he drives his knee right into Shelton Benjamin's spine.

BM: Benoit is one of the most ruthless wrestlers to ever step into this ring.

TR: That and his technical ability make him one of the most dangerous competitors of all time.

TR: Shelton Benjamin shows his technical ability with a fireman's carry.

BM: And he quickly makes the tag to Goldust!

TR: Here comes Goldust!

BM: Shoulder block to Benoit.

TR: The Crippler's body smacks the canvas.

TR: Goldust is coming in hot.

BM: Benoit stops Goldust dead in his tracks with a drop toe hold.

TR: Goldust just got his neck strung up on that second rope.

BM: Benoit's got something in mind here.

TR: Oh! He drives all of his weight into Goldust and chokes him on the second rope.

BM: Benoit makes another tag to Perry Saturn.

TR: Perry Saturn and Goldust are now the legal men in this contest.

BM: Goldust catches Saturn...

BM: Alabama Slam!

TR: Saturn's body slapped the mat with such force.

TR: That gives Goldust enough time to make a tag to Shelton Benjamin. 

BM: This match has been extremely fast-paced.

TR: Saturn ducks the clothesline.

BM: Benjamin might regret that mistake.

TR: Inverted DDT!

BM: Saturn take this opportunity to make another tag to Benoit.

TR: Benoit is headed to the top rope!

BM: Saturn takes a swing at Goldust and knocks him off the apron.

TR: Benoit is airborne!

BM: Chris Benoit connects with the flying headbutt!

R: 1...2...3!

*bell rings*

*The Radicalz's musc plays*

TR: The Radicalz are the #1 Contenders for the Tag Team titles!

BM: Goldrush will have to live to fight another day.

TR: true, but the losing streak continues for the team of Shelton Benjamin and Goldust. They can't be too happy about that. Back to the drawing board, jabronis! 

[C2W]

PH: Take a good look. This is power. This is excellence. This is a legacy I can be proud of.

PH: When Vince McMahon bought out ECW, I knew that it was the end of my legacy as the distributor of hardcore talent. I knew that I had to make a new lane for myself and that is exactly what I did when I brought you, the true wrestling fanatics, these two unstoppable monsters.

PH: These are Paul Heyman guys! Sabu, the very moment you took part in that sham of an ECW that Vince was running, you tainted your legacy. MY LEGACY! And Taz the very second you put on your miniature suit and orange tie and became a commentator, you were no longer the relentless animal from Red Hook Brooklyn. Both of you were disgraces to me and the company that built you.

PH: So, from this day on, Paul Heyman will no longer be known as the man that brought you two of wrestling's biggest sellouts, but as the man who introduced the world to two of the most dominant beasts to ever walk the face of this earth. Your welcome, wrestling.

[C2W]

BM: Well Paul Heyman just explained why Heidenreich and Lesnar decimated Taz and Sabu on the last episode of Crush.

TR: Yeah, we have an explanation for last week's brutal attack, but what's the explanation for this strange trio in the ring led by MVP?

MVP: Each and every one of you in this arena tonight, and those of you sitting at home, are giving your money to a company that practices extreme discrimination. Last week, I was turned away from entering the arena because of my appearance.

MVP: Several months ago, former World Champion and current owner of a small indy wrestling federation in Chicago, CM Punk, was not even given the opportunity to interview for the position that Shawn Michaels, a man with no management experience, now holds. Why? Because of his tattoos, he was denied the opportunity to apply for a corporate position.

MVP: My main man, Eugene, wants nothing more than a chance to wrestle under the bright C2W lights. But that dream was stripped away from him when Vince and other members of the board turned him away because of his mental disabilities.

MVP: So this message is for you, Vince! We are challenging you and those discriminatory flying monkeys, Roman Reigns and Big Boss Man, to a 6 man tag match at Regal Requiem. If we win, we get all of our demands. CM Punk gets a spot on the board. Eugene becomes an ctive member of the C2W roster... And I get a C2W World Championship match! If you refuse this offer, we'll come at you with one of the best legal teams money can buy. And you better believe I got a boatload of that, playa!

 

*mic drops*

TR: MVP must have lost his mind! He just extended a challenge to Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the devil himself.

BM: The ball is in Mr. McMahon's court now! What will the chairman have to say about this?

[C2W]

TR: Mr. McMahon normally isn't one to back down from a challenge. And I'm sure he doesn't want any legal trouble.

BM: I'm sure of that, Rocky. And we're getting a look at Jeff Jarrett in the backstage area.

KA: Hey! What the hell is this?! NWO? Is this what Sting is up to? Are you guys trying to poison this company? I knew that son of a bitch was up to something!

JJ: Calm your jets, ya slap nut. I just wear this shirt because it reminds me of the good ol' days. Nothing to do with Sting or taking over this company.

JJ: You know, you might want to get that stick out of your ass. It'll be a lot harder to run away from Sting when he comes back for some payback.

JJ: Oh, there he is now!

KA: Where?!

JJ: Hahahaha, made ya look. What a tool.

BM: After attacking Sting for the second time in a row last week, Kurt Angle is constantly looking over his shoulder.

TR: And he better be. The Icon can strike at any time.

[C2W]

*William Regal's music plays*

MB: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the C2W European Championship! Introducing first, the European Champion, William Regal!

TR: On the last episode of Crush, Regal said he was going to bring some class and culture to C2W, so he introduced the European Championship.

BM: This crowd doesn't seem to be too fond of Regal, Rocky.

TR: Why would they be? He's a pompous ass.

*Rene Dupree's music plays*

MB: And the challenger, Rene Dupree!

BM: Say what you want about Regal, but you can't deny that this is historic night. This is the first time that the European Championship will be defended.

*bell rings*

TR: What in the name of tea and crumpets is this?

BM: Both competitors start this match off with a bow.

TR: In all my years of wrestling, I've never seen some pansy BS like that.

BM: It is an interesting way to start a match. Regal locks in a headlock.

BM: Dupree powers out.

TR: Regal fights back with a shoulder block.

BM: Dupree falls to the canvas.

TR: Yeah, but Dupree pops right back as Regal bounces off the ropes.

BM: Back body drop!

TR: No Regal reverses with a sunset flip!

R: 1...2...

BM: And Dupree kicks out!

BM: He hops up quickly and kicks Regal right in the face.

TR: Now that's what we want to see! None of this curtsy crap. 

BM: I believe they bowed, Rocky.

TR: Same thing.

BM: Oh! Regal dodges Dupree who goes flying into the ring post.

TR: Those ring posts are unforgiving. Hurts like hell.

BM: Regal rolls Dupree up, but his feet are on the ropes, ref!

R: 1...2...

TR: Regal almost stole one, but Dupree kicked out.

BM: That wouldn't have been a very gentlemanly way to win.

 

TR: Right in the pie hole! Big right hand from Dupree.

BM: Regal now complaining to the official about Dupree's closed-hand punch.

TR: Oh come on! What a wimp.

BM: Wait a second. Regal just pulled brass knuckles from his trunks!

TR: Look out, Dupree!

BM: Oh my goodness!

BM: Regal just cracked Dupree across the jaw with those brass knuckles!

TR: I think that kid is out cold.

R: 1...2...3!

*bell rings*

BM: Now Regal is hiding the evidence.

TR: What a skunk.

TR: What an underhanded victory by the supposedly classy William Regal.

MB: Here is your winner and still C2W European Champion, William Regal!

*crowd boos*

BM: Well, William Regal definitely didn't gain any fans tonight.

TR: And he damn sure didn't gain anyone's respect. What a cheat.

[C2W]

VKM: You idiots! Because of you, I have a team of MVP's lawyers breathing down my neck! They want to drain me for every penny that I have with this discrimination case.

VKM: You're going to help me make this right. Vincent Kennedy McMahon doesn't back down from a battle. Legal or physical! But at Regal Requiem, it's going to have to get physical. So lay off the donuts because both of you will have to be in the best shape of your lives!

VKM: I know I'll be.

[C2W]

*Jerry Lawler's music plays*

TR: Vince McMahon has accepted MVP's challenge!

BM: yes he has, Rocky! And speaking of challenge, here is a man who has never stepped down from one.

MB: Ladies and gentlemen, the former C2W World Champion, Jerry "Te King" Lawler! 

*crowd cheers*

JL: Thank you so much! Your cheering is music to my ears. But hearing that word "former"... not so much. I've been doing a lot of thinking. At The Royal Rumble, I lost my championship in a triple threat match against Taker and Chris Jericho. I held that title for almost a year and it was one of the proudest moments of my life. And I think.. I think I can gracefully bow out of this business knowing that I accomplished everything I wanted to.

*Ric Flair's music plays*

TR: You know whose music that is, Musburger? It's the Nature Boy!

TR: Ric Flair!

*crowd cheers*

BM: The legendary 16 time World Champion is in the building!

RF: Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. You've never been the type of guy to walk away from a challenge. Dammit, you're the king! You ran this place for over a year. And now you want to walk away? Well, Jerry. I'm here to light your fire.

BM: Oh my goodness! Ric Flair just slapped Lawler!

RF: Come on Jerry! Hit me! Dig deep down and put an Andy Kaufman beating on me!

TR: The Nature Boy just slapped the taste out of Jerry Lawler's mouth.

BM: Lawler is leaving the ring. He's not retaliating at all.

RF: You're just gonna take your crown and go home, huh Jerry? You're gonna tuck your tail and run?

BM: Whatever Flair was trying to bring out of Jerry Lawler is either gone or stuck deep inside him.

TR: That's so unlike Lawler to walk away from a confrontation like that. Maybe all the fight has been sucked out of him... Or slapped out of him.

[C2W]

CJ: We're dripped out in gold baby! Damn, man we look great. We've got to be the most dominant force in professional wrestling to date.

BS: No doubt about that, Chris. And I gotta say, you put on one hell of a show in that Triple Threat.

CJ: Thanks big man. A champion's gotta do what a champion's gotta do. And before long, once Vince stops throwing these jobbers at me, you'll get your well-deserved shot at this bad boy like we talked about.

CJ: So you ready to go out there and hunt yourself a rattlesnake.

BS: Chris, I eat rattlesnake for breakfast haha!

BM: It looks like Austin is in for the fight of his life. In a few moments, The Texas Rattlesnake will step in the ring with Jeri-Show.

[C2W]

*Jeri-Show's music plays*

MB: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a handicap match! Introducing first, the C2W Tag Team Champions, Jeri-Show!

TR: Jericho isn't right about many things, but he is right about Jeri-Show being a very dominant team.

BM: I agree, Rocky. At Royal Rumble, Big Show single-handedly defeated Goldrush to retain the titles. 

*Stonecold Steve Austin's music plays*

MB: And the opponent, The Texas Rattlesnake, Stonecold Steve Austin!

*crowd cheers*

TR: This crowd is going ballistic, Musburger!

BM: The roof is being blown off this place as Stonecold Steve Austin rushes to the ring.

*bell rings*

BM: Stonecold is wasting no time! He goes right after The Big Show and lands a solid right hand.

TR: And a left! The toughest SOB to ever step into the ring is putting a hurting on the big man.

BM: Big Show uses his unbelievable size to power out and push Austin into the ropes.

TR: Lou Thesz Press!

TR: I've been on the receiving end of several of those.

BM: Rocky, you know Austin arguably better than any other wrestler. What role does Austin's tenacity play in a match?

TR: It's like fighting a freight chain with brakes cut out.

BM: Oh! Austin fires a shot at Jericho and knocks him off the apron.

TR: Look out, Austin!

BM: Stonecold ducks that massive right hand of the Big Show.

BM: Kick to the gut!

TR: The gut? That looked a little low to me.

BM: Stonecold Stunner!

BM: The Big Show powers out and sends Austin into the ropes.

TR: Show connects with a big boot!

TR: That knocked the life out of Stonecold Steve Austin.

BM: Oh no! Big Show is putting all of his weight on the back of Stonecold Steve Austin.

TR: Don't know if you noticed, Musburger, but Big Show had his right foot on Austin's neck.

BM: Stonecold has a history of neck problems. So, that might be an issue after all of Big Show's 500 pounds pushing down on him.

TR: Show throws Austin into the corner like a rag doll.

TR: Big Show makes a the tag. Jericho is now the legal man.

BM: Irish whip...

BM: Austin goes flying into the corner!

TR: Jericho is gloating over Stonecold Steve Austin in the corner.

TR: Stonecold connects with a powerbomb!

TR: Austin's got his second wind!

BM: He's gonna drop that elbow...

BM: Right across the bridge of Jericho's nose!

*crowd cheers*

TR: Once again, this crowd is going absolutely bonkers over the return of The Texas Rattlesnake.

BM: Stonecold now sizing up Jericho.

BM: He connects with a big right hand.

TR: He damn near took Jericho out of his boots with that shot!

BM: Going for another...

BM: Jericho dives out of the way!

TR: Oh come on! Jericho puts his thumb right into Austin's eye.

TR: Now he's running like a coward.

BM: Jericho scurried over to Big Show to make the tag.

TR: This arena is shaking as the big man runs across the ring.

BM: Now Austin dives out of the way!

TR: Big Show's head just got acquainted with the top turnbuckle.

BM: Jericho drives his knee into Austin's back as he was bouncing off the ropes.

TR: Austin just can't catch a break tonight. The deck is really stacked against him.

BM: Big Show sizing Stonecold Steve Austin up for a massive chokeslam.

TR: He's got his hand wrapped around Austin's throat!

BM: Chokeslam!

TR: Austin sidesteps it!

BM: Another kick to the gut!

TR: Austin connects with the Stonecold Stunner!

BM: Austin nails the stunner!

TR: Stonecold is exhausted though. He's given his all and can barely make the cover.

BM: Jericho is losing his mind in the corner, waiting for Big Show to come to and make the tag.

TR: Show is slowly but surely shaking the cobwebs loose.

BM: Austin is still struggling to get to his feet.

TR: Big Show makes the tag!

BM: And in comes Y2J...

BM: With a huge bulldog!

TR: It might be lights out for The Texas Rattlesnake.

TR: Lionsault!

BM: Jericho hits a Lionsault on Austin.

R: 1...2...3! *bell rings*

*Jeri-Show's music plays*

TR: That's all she wrote.

MB: Here are your winners, Chris Jericho and The Big Show, Jeri-Show!

BM: It was a valiant effort by Stonecold Steve Austin, but the odds were stacked too high.

TR: Austin has never backed down from a fight in his life. And he certainly rose to the occasion tonight.

BM: Oh come on! What is Jericho doing now?

TR: He just threw down the official who was trying to help Austin to his feet.

BM: The match is over! Did General Manager Shawn Michaels instruct these guys to destroy Austin? Take him out of the picture?

TR: Woah! The lights are out! I can't see a damn thing!

BM: Well the lights are back up a_ Wait look! Who is that?

TR: Shoulder block off the rope to Jericho!

BM: It's... It's The Hardy Boyz!

TR: Jeff takes down The Big Show!

BM: Matt and Jeff Hardy disposing of Jeri-Show!

TR: Why are they helping Austin? Hey, Musburger! Look at the top of the stage!

BM: Is that?... I think that's Raven, Rocky.

TR: What in the holy hell is going on here? What business do Te Hardy Boyz and Raven have with Stonecold Steve Austin?

BM: Whatever the reason, Austin owes them big time. There's no telling what Jeri-Show would have done to him. Well, that's all the time we have for tonight, folks. Find out what happens next time on C2W Crush!

TR: Goodnight!
