"Double Down" Hype-Show
[/size][/color]
(LIVE from Campanelli Stadium!!!)
Cold open to the cheering masses. Front row pan wide, revealing hundreds of middle-school age kids decked out in Chain Gang and Shooters Club gear. A very vocal (and high-pitched) portion of the audience screams for Cena, and chants “Air Bourne! Air Bourne!” There is a smaller (yet still very vocal) minority of pimple-faced teenagers with all black “CC” t-shirts (“Cannibal Cartel”) who boo Cena voraciously and cheer for the Diamond Dynasty and their ilk. Thousands of homemade signs dot the horizon. There is a brief pyrotechnics display, then… [/color]
“Shipping Up To Boston” by Dropkick Murphys bursts through the arena sound system!!!
Enter the NEW BCCW Tag Team Champions… the TRUST BUSTERS!!!!
LOU THESZ[/color]
(holds BCCW tag team championship belt aloft): It was a labor of love for me. I wanted to tell the world what it was like to go up and down the road doing wrestling. During the Depression it was really hard. I devoted my young years to that. When TV came along, I had a lot of visibility. As for these BCCW Tag Team championship belts, I ran into Jack Swagger, in Fort Worth Texas, and we talked, developed a relationship. He wanted to do a seminar, and finally I agreed. We did about 500 hours of tapes. And now we’re the Tag Team Champions of the World!!! [/b]
JACK SWAGGER: A childhood dream. Up there on the ”
AFTERMATH” stage in front of 70,000 fans all screaming and shouting your name. I couldn't sleep for days. Totally living the dream. In fact that whole month was awesome, couldn't put into words how good it felt. [/color]
Sure enough, their celebration is short-lived. “Last Resort” by Papa Roach cuts them off as the CANNIBAL CARTEL (“Sick” Nick Mondo and Madman Pondo) make their arrival. Mostly booes, but again that very vocal minority can be heard chanting for the Death Match warriors. [glow=red,2,300]”SICK” NICK MONDO:[/glow] If you haven't figured it out by now I'm kind of surprised. I'm one of the only guys in this business who mixes EVERY single one of those styles. My style is all styles mixed. My goal is to be able to work a good match with anyone.
LOU THESZ [/color]
(shaking his head): Not a wrestler. A great show person. As far as real wrestling, forget it. MADMAN PONDO:[/color] Straight professional wrestling wasn't working out -- I wasn't making any money. I knew I wanted to be a professional wrestler. But I knew I didn't have a great body, or the physical skills of a
John Cena, or the high flying skills of a
Evan Bourne, or the technical wrestling skills of a
Lou Thesz… but I can cut myself like a piece of sausage!!!
(sick, twisted grin as he flaunts his scabby, scarred exterior)
JACK SWAGGER:[/color]
(looks the paunchy, drug-addled, self-mutilated Madman Pondo up and down): In this game, you win by being the healthiest. If… let's say you, or your sick little freak buddy here were to break your ankle then it leaves it wide open. I'm not saying that's a possibility by you never know… (offers a cold, intimidating stare to both members of the Cannibal Cartel) [glow=red,2,300]”SICK” NICK MONDO[/glow] Honestly
Swagger, you’re living a boring life and blending in with everybody else. I don't think I'd be much interested in life if I lived a routine, patterned life style. I need to be different.
LOU THESZ: [/color]
(chuckles to himself and shakes his head) Different? You call yourself “different”? You’re no different than the hundreds of other hardcore “XTREME” wrestlers that have trickled through the industry over time, like rain through the gutters. Like Abdullah the Butcher and Bruiser Brody. Or the Original Sheik. I wrestled him, but he wasn't a wrestler. He was a show person. He had a lot of publicity. I wrestled him two or three times. He got into getting DQ'd. There was very little wrestling, I just defended myself. [glow=red,2,300]”SICK” NICK MONDO[/glow] Maybe wrestling with The Trustbusters in that ladder match
[at “AFTERMATH”] wasn’t the best approach. But it was really an honor for me to work with someone I admire so much….
(SPITS in Lou Thesz’s FACE!!!!) A wild brawl breaks out between the two teams! Security intervenes, but the challenge has been laid! At “DOUBLE DOWN”, the Trust Busters (Thesz & Swagger) will defend their BCCW Tag Team Championships against the Cannibal Cartel! The two hardcore Death Match veterans have something to prove, and have agreed to face the champions in a classic “”Best 2 out of 3” Falls match for the belts – straight wrestling! Will the Cannibal Cartel have what it takes to match holds and wits with the Trust Busters??? Or will the scientific acumen of the champs be able to overcome their opponent’s bold treachery? Tune in to the PPV to find out!!! ”Sick” Nick Mondo highlight reel

"BAD STREET USA"[/color][/size]
”Bad Street USA” can mean only one thing… the Freebirds are in da house!!!
“NWA” = BCCW…. “Ted Turner” = MSD
“Boy from New York City” cuts the Freebirds off to a MASSIVE pop. Who else but the BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN is in the building, shimmying, shaking, jiving and slapping hands on his way towards the ring!!! He stops just short in the aisle, and throws himself into the welcome embrace of the frenzied young audience. Valiant has a mic.
”BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN” JIMMY VALIANT: MSD called Mister Mondt and asked if they could have me back (in Brockton) for one Monday. Just for one Monday, to team up with the traitor Bruiser Brody. I told them it was fine with me, and they flew me into Brockton and I did my thing out there. I get off the plane on Tuesday to do interviews and as soon as I came in, MSD whisked me right into his office. He said, ‘How come you didn’t tell us you were a fan favorite out there?’ I told them that it didn’t matter to me if I was a fan favorite or not…you know? But you see, what happened was I was on the phone early that morning trying to get another date for me. They [Gold Dust Trio Inc] asked me, ‘Man what’s going on.’ MSD told them Brockton had sold out, and he told them about the ‘Boogie Woogie Man’ character….when the Boogie Woogie Man comes in town the place pops out!!!!! [/color]
Michael Hayes puts his hands over his ears to quell the crowd’s rapid reaction to no avail. He grabs the mic mid-ring and attempts to address the Boogie Woogie Man but the crowd is too loud. So Rogers and Gordy try to tell the crowd to shut up, but that just eggs them on further. Finally, Hayes is about to speak… when…. “Cool, Cocky & Bad” cuts him off before he can even speak a word!!! A pink Cadillac emerges from besides the stage, horn beeping and blaring. It’s the
HONKY TONK MAN!!!!
HONKY TONK MAN[/color]
(patting the Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant on the back): Yes I do talk with Jimmy on occasions. He and I talked about how to handle The Freebirds and how not to handle some people in BCCW. He and I conferred about doing BCCW shows on Monday nights before they ever started them. We conferred on the best way for him to be presented coming into BCCW a few shows back. Jimmy and I were hooked up in the late 70's in Memphis!
The Freebirds are STEAMING! Buddy Roberts grabs the mic and unleashes a stream of profanities. The Freebirds still have them outnumbered! No matter how you do the math, 2 versus 3 doesn’t add up. And the Freebirds would LOVE the opportunity to prove that, by breaking the Boogie Woogie Man and smashing the pink Cadillac!!! But HTM and the Boogie Woogie Man just share a sly, all-knowing smile… SUDDENLY!!!
There is a white flash of activity in the ring! Like a man shot of a cannon, a figure emerges through the crowd and scales the top rope to unleash a devastating missile dropkick to the back of Terry Gordy that propels him over the top rope to the arena floor! It’s RYAN DANGERFIELD in a brand new get-up!!! (looking like an Aztec warrior of legend) Stunned, Buddy Roberts and Michael Hayes turn to face him while the Boogie Woogie Man and Honky Tonk Man rush the ring!!! It’s an all out brawl!!!
With Terry Gordy temporarily disposed of on the floor, now the Freebirds are outnumbered!!! Boogie Woogie Man and White Flash double team Roberts – dumping him out of the ring. And in the grand finale, Michael Hayes eats an el BONGO guitar smash over his head courtesy of the Honky Tonk Man!!! The Freebirds are cleared from the ring and the motley crew of Valiant, HTM and Dangerfield celebrate to great crowd approval! Freebirds are PISSED and yell and shout profanities as they are ushered backstage by security!!!! ** Cut to commercial **

"WHAT A WOMAN WANTS"[/color][/size]
Cue “California” by Hollywood Undead – enter porn magnate LIZZY BORDEN and her colossal companion ALOISIA the AMAZON!!! Lizzy Borden takes the mic and flips her hair. Crowd boos her mercilessly and bombards her with chants of “slut slut slut!!!” This only seems to encourage the brazen porn star/director even further. She proudly tells the crowd to “FUCK OFF!” before recapping her own history in the wrestling biz (ran the best, most hardcore promotion on the West, got locked up, and she’s BACK with her brand new charge!) Doesn’t matter that Aloisia lost to WWW Champion Alexxis Nevaeh at the last PPV – that was just the appetizer. Aloisia is a beast!!! Hands the mic to the Amazon for her to finally speak her mind… ALOISIA the AMAZON: To say that this has been a rough week would be a huge understatement. First, my "no-talent" NXT Pro Vickie Guerrero fires me from NXT because she can't deal with the fact that I'm twice her size and not the least bit intimidated by her. I mean, did you see how she humiliated Kaitlyn on national TV? This is nothing against Kaitlyn...I think she's adorable, but EXCUSE ME...if Vickie had pulled that stunt with me, she would have found herself flat on her back, under my boot. Kaitlyn, you deserve better than some washed up middle-aged "Pro" who's been resting on her laurels for about the past 20 years or so. Next, I find out that maybe the "real" reason I was fired was because of some ridiculous lingerie photo shoot I did when I was 18. Um, EXCUSE ME, but if what I did was so unforgivable then can someone please explain why my "favorite" person, VG, has a (censored) nude photo shoot posted on the WWE.com website? As if that weren't enough, new rumors subsequently popped up on various blogs that I was fired because I was "too green" for TV or didn't have enough experience in the ring. I can't wait to find out what the next rumor will be. I feel like I'm watching myself on the Truman Show!!!! [/color]
Lizzy Borden – on behalf of Aloisia the Amazon – brazenly challenges WWW champion Alexxis Neveah to a rematch for the title!!!! She antagonizes and insults the champ a little, before calling for her to emerge from the back and answer the challenge. But instead of Alexxis we get… “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus!!! It’s SAMMI LANE and “ADORABLE” ADRIAN ADONIS!!!
SAMMI LANE[/color]
(to Aloisia): I'm my own ally. Don't trust anyone...they might turn on you! (turns to a smirking Adrian Adonis) I think that my career highlight will be coming very soon in my upcoming match against Lizzy & Aloisia!!! Stay tuned! Sammi disses Lizzy Borden to her face and says she doesn’t have a stranglehold on championship matches. Sammi Lane deserves a rematch too! SAMMI LANE: People watching is a fun way to pass the time. Seeing how they interact with each other and their family…
and the two of you are a bunch of sick, lazy perverts!!! [/color]
BIG crowd pop!!!
ALOISIA the AMAZON: I'm not here to complain! I want all of you to know that unlike Vickie Guerrero, I'm not sitting on the couch eating potato chips and watching Days of Our Lives. In fact, I've hired a new personal trainer and I have my first session tomorrow. I may be off NXT, but I intend to use this time to get even bigger and stronger and sculpt my 6'9" body into a veritable work of art. I'll be sure to post video of my training session; you can all see how hard I'm working for you, my loyal fans. Mark my words...I WILL be back and when I return, Vickie Guerrero, you better pack your bags and run for the hills. And
Sammi Lane, honey...I've got you in my sights as well. Every time you look in your rear view mirror, that's me you see coming up behind you. And yes, I stole that line from Mad Men!!![/color]
SAMMI LANE: No DQ's are a blast, but I love whatever type of match is thrown at me. It's always a challenge. Tags are fun too, because there are so many possibilities…[/color]
Just then, “Massive Attack” by Nicki Minaj cuts everybody off… It’s WWW Champion ALEXXIS NEVAEAH!!! Big cheers for the WWW champion. She proudly enters the ring with her belt and stands in between the two opposing tandems. Holds the WWW belt aloft. This is what everybody is after right? She lays it out for them real simple – at ‘Double Down”, Sammi & Adrian versus Lizzy & Aloisia versus Alexxis and a mystery partner of her choosing. Whoever can win the match and beat Alexxis (and her mystery partner) will earn a title shot. Deal? Both teams agree! 3-Way Tag Team match at “DOUBLE DOWN” for the rights to challenge Alexxis for her WWW championship!!! Alexxis blows them a kiss… and all hell breaks loose between Sammi, Adrian, Lizzy and Aloisia!!! As Alexxis calmly and confidently exits the ring, Lizzy and Sammi are grabbing each other’s hair in a cat fight while Aloisia beat the holy hell out of Adonis!!! Oh my!!!!! Cut to commercial!!!! ___________________________________________________________
"WORLD WAR III"[/size][/color]
”Regardless of any pre-arrangement—and the boxing commission must be aware that such agreements are made in all championship and other exhibitions—there can be no kick by the fans because they know what to expect and get what they come to see—good entertainment. That’s all wrestling is, nowadays. Legitimate competition is gone. The days of real, honest-to-goodness wrestling matches are things of the past, and we all might just as well get accustomed to the other type, be¬cause it is the only kind we can see in these days of commercialized sport.
* Nat Fleischer - Ring Magazine, October, 1934
DIAMOND DYNASTY Representatives of
GOLD DUST TRIO INC The two unionized groups march to the ring together. Mister Mondt – owner and sponsor of BCCW – takes the mic and addresses the foul ending to the “AFTERMATH” ppv (see previous event). “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers was ROBBED! MISTER MONDT: I hope
John Cena wouldn’t dare call wrestling promoters like
MSD and myself thieves…[/color]
DESMOND WOLFE: I love
the OG “Nature Boy”. I think he’s a fantastic wrestler, certainly. It’s great he still manages to get over when he doesn’t do all the high spots and everything else that a lot of guys have to do today. I think my style is a lot more old school then the young guys that are up and coming in England at the moment. Anyone that sticks to the business as long as he has is an inspiration.[/color]
Both camps indulge in gratuitous congratulation and praising of each other. SUDDENLY
“My Time Is Now” cuts them off…. The Unified Champion JOHN CENA is in the building!!!!
JOHN CENA: My old man was a pretty good guy. He didn't realize what he was doing at the time but he was self-employed, self-made and raised 5 sons, 5 hellacious, 5 horrible sons. I didn't know what I was going to do, and I'm still exploring options of what I am going to do with my life. But at a young age, and without sitting us down and brow beating us, he showed us that there is no substitute for hard work to succeed and get the things you want in life. He gave us that lesson by example. I love him to death. We've had our differences but when push comes to shove he just taught me that you could do whatever you want. Here is a guy who wasn't much out of high school and created a business for himself and on top of that brought five beautiful kids into this world. He is very proud of his sons. He instilled in me that if you show up and work hard that good things will happen. [/color]
Cena says the deck was stacked against him at “AFTERMATH”, but he triumphed with three simple mandates – “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect”. He’s read the internet dirt sheets, he’s heard the rumors… he knows Mister Mondt isn’t finished with him yet. And this next plan is a real doozy…Desmond Wolfe gets right up in the champs face, both championship belts gleaming under the ring lights. DESMOND WOLFE: Its difficult enough when you live in the country and you can stay here, but having to go home and however much money it takes to fly over here and I can’t work anyway… I’ve sacrificed, I’ve spent thousands. Tens, twenties of thousands. I’ve sacrificed my education; I’ve sacrificed any savings I’ve had. I’m so deep in debt it’s not even funny. I’ve pretty much given up everything and I think that is what you have to do. If you don’t give it everything you absolutely have then how do you expect to succeed at anything? I don’t know if I’ll ever succeed I don’t know if I’ll ever come back again, but in the periods that I haven’t been in this business, what I’ve realized is that you’ve got to enjoy it at the moment. [/color]
JOHN CENA: That I've come this far and I haven't been fired yet is a testament to my faith and abilities. Actually, every day is a surprise. Whether it's from producing the show in front of an audience because it's live and everything unfolds as it happens so we can't change any mistakes. Even from a corporate perspective, watching
BCCW grow. We just came back from China. It was the first time that we had ever been in China. We're headed to Russia in January. New global markets keep opening up. We're on television in over 180 countries right now. We travel the world. I've been able to see the world and do wonderful projects. Literally, there is not a day that goes by where I'm not astonished about what is going on. I just try to take it all in and do the best that I can. [/color]
Mister Mondt promises this will be the end of Cena as we know it. For at the next ppv “DOUBLE DOWN”, the gates of destiny are closing in on the Champ. We… are… at…. WAR!!!
WAR GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! John Cena will be forced to captain a team to fight the combined might of Buddy Rogers, Wade Barrett, Desmond Wolfe… and MISTER MONDT himself!!!!
To the surprise and utter disdain of the Gold Dust Trio Inc and Diamond Dynasty, Cena only laughs. He’s been waiting for this announcement. Matter of fact, he’s already gone ahead and recruited some men to join this cause… TED DIBIASE JR!!! And
MIL MASCARAS!!!! The bad guys certainly don’t look happy… but don’t mind reminding Cena he’s still outnumbered. Their team only has 3 members, versus the 4 standing in the ring. Cena says he needed somebody extra special for something so brutal and demanding. Somebody well versed in the art of extreme bloody warfare, somebody ready and willing to DIE for the cause if need be…. The Diamond Dynasty and Gold Dust Trio Inc stare at each in puzzlement… until “Twist” by Korn rips through the arena sound system!!!! It’s
THE MESSIAH!!! He’s back!!!!
Through the audience he comes, wielding a steel chair like a sledgehammer! Team Cena charges the ring and all hell breaks loose!!! Bodies flying, Maryse hiding, Heenan ducking! In the chaos, John Cena is finally left alone in the ring with Mister Mondt once more… only to unleash a hellacious Attitude Adjustment on the BCCW owner!!! Crowd pop is MASSIVE!!! Team Cena joins together in the ring as the bad guys scamper away backstage! Cena holds up the belt and we are OUT!!!!!!! Buy the muthaphuckkin PPV!!!!
