BIG news involving Haggar vs Zangief

You can't kill a Ghost

Across University Campus' across Canada, there is one thought:
Let's watch Massacre and GET PISSED!

Let's get to the action.

Coming down to the ring to start our show were Jerry Kent and Rick Clark, holding a bottle of champagne and a couple of glasses. They entered the ring and grabbed a couple of mic's and started talking.

"Well, Jerry, what can I say except that...WE DID IT!!! We showed the whole world that WE are the true stars of the SMWA...that Haggar and Zangief are just another couple of names. Let's crack this baby open and celebrate!"

"Now, hold on, Rick...it's non-alcoholic, right?"

"Oh, of course, Jerry. Like you told me, it's illegal and irresponsible to drink champagne in an unliscensed area. And, us being the professional athletes that we are, it's up to us to set the good example and practise responsible alcohol consumption."

"Rick, I couldn't agree more. But, hold off on cracking that thing open, because there's something about this whole situation that just pisses me off. You pinned Haggar...TWICE. I beat Zangief. And yet, those two are still in the main event at Back Street Brawl and, the last time I checked the card, we were nowhere to be found. What kind of crap is that?"

At this point, everybody knew that Clark and Kent were angling at something.

"That does seem incredibly unfair, doesn't it Jerry? I didn't even get any calls this week saying "Hey, Rick, you and Kent should be in the main event. How about it?" I didn't even get the chance to turn the offer down."

"I know. I beat that disgrace of a World Champion, and what do I get in return? Nothing!!! Talk about a piss me off. He doesn't even have enough guts to come out here and face his accusers."

Well, Kent was wrong, as Zangief's Crimson Tide music started on up and he entered the ring. Clark started right in. "Well, we seem to have gotten Boris' attention. Now, come on out, Dudley-Do-Right! I know you're in the building too."

Haggar then came out to the ring, stopping to glare at Zangief, but chosing not to attack. Rather, he faced his accusers.

"Where the hell do you two get off? Kent, I've already put your shoulders on the mat. And Clark, yeah, you've beat me...once. And you just haven't had the guts to try and beat me by yourself since then. You call us disgraces, paper, or just plain bad. The fact of the matter is that I beat Kent to get the shot at Zangief, and when I WIN the title at Back Street Brawl, either of you two can take a shot of getting the belt away from me."

Haggar threw a quick look at Zangief, who then spoke. "Ze ingnorance of Mike Haggar aside, you two know ze rules of zis game. Kent, you beat me by count-out. That vill give you a rematch ven I'm done at ze Brawl. Clark...you cannot say a zing...I flattened you skeeny azz at Heatvave! Right now, I got to prove to Haggar at Back Street zat I am ze greatest wrestler in the world."

Kent went dead serious. "You think that's going to happen, Zangief. You think that, knowing how we feel about this crap, that we're going to let you two give it a go, when it should be us in the main event."

Haggar then stared down Kent. "So, what exactly is the veiled threat you're trying to make."

Clark responded. "Simple, Mike. You haven't seen the last of Simply the Best, and you wont see the end of us till we get what's due to us."

And on that, SMWA Comissioner Jack McCullough came down to the ring.

"I've heard just about enough of this. Clark, Kent...you two have some good points. But now is not the time or the place. Haggar beat YOU, Kent at Heatwave, and Zangief beat YOU, Clark. That's how this match was signed. I don't know if you're just upset, jealous or a couple of jerks, but Back Street Brawl is non-negotiable. It's going to be Haggar vs Zangief...but with you two talking like you are, I think it's high time I took some precautions regarding this match. I'll keep you all posted on that. Now, if you'd all please leave the ring, we have a show to get started."

One last staredown, then Simply the Best left. Zangief left afterwards, Haggar leaving last. This situation just got a whole lot more tense.

The Actor defeated Lantern by disqualification in 0:06:54.
Rating: **

In the first match since his dismissal from Sky Entertainment, the Actor faced off against his teammate of a couple of weeks, Lantern. What was expected to be a technical match turned into a brawl right off the bat, as the Actor was in a foul mood. Lantern took the early edge when he turned an Actor high spot into a big superplex. The match was fairly even until, from out of nowhere, Ron Grayson clobbered The Actor with a steel chair, causing the DQ. Lantern and Grayson did a number on the Actor...until El Stingray came down to save his teammate from LONG ago. Grayson and Lantern left the fallen Actor in the ring.

Biff Slamkovich pinned Kenji Hashimuto with the Hammer splash in 0:06:59.
Rating: **

Biff Slamkovich had little trouble with Kenji Hashimuto. He had to recover from an early Hashi-Moonsault, but was able to pull through with a Gut Crush and TWO Hammer splashes for the win. Before he could celebrate, the All-Americans showed up on the SlamVision screen.

"Still haven't found anybody, have you there, Biff boy?" Hillsman's voice was loaded with a I-Know-Something-You-Don't sarcasm. "What's the problem, eh? Nobody wants to stand by you, or are you just being way too picky. Better find a partner soon, Biff...cause me and your old pal here aren't waiting."

Biff picked up the in ring mic as the All-Americans went off screen."Hey, what makes you two tink dat I haven't found a partner yet? Trust me, boys...you are NOT going to like my choice."

Biff isn't saying, but we're asking...who is his tag team partner???

TV Title Match: Nord Fullstrom (c) vs The Flying Scotsman

For this match, the Raiders had seemed to take a proactive stance, coming down to the ring with Nord Fullstrom, not waiting for Sky Entertainment to interfere in the match. Scots managed to outwrestle Nord, but couldn't hold a candle to the Scandinavian's incredible power. Nord floored Scots with a HUGE Nordic Hammer, but was then nailed with a pair of brass knucks shortly afterwards. The Scotsman was then quick to lock on the SCOTTISH BREAKER!!! Nord fought and squirmed but couldn't get free...but he wouldn't quit. Eventualy, Scots had to release the hold, as Nord was too big to keep in the breaker. Scotsman hit Nord with the Scottish Flag...two count. Nord hit an inverted power bomb..two count. Hamish tripped Nord and held his leg...two count. Nord turned around and took a swing at Hamish, who was then attacked by Rod Emerson. But in the confusion, as Nord turned around, he was met with a kick to the stomach and a Doctor bomb.

And the Flying Scotsman is the NEW SMWA Television Champion! He and Sky Entertainment were quick to get the hell out of dodge.

Handicap Match: Ghost vs The Philadelphia X-Treme Machine

During the week, Ghost had made a challenge to Extinct...he wanted the PXM in a HANDICAP MATCH!!! Well, Extinct was more than happy to oblige, and that match would end off our first hour.

Ghost didn't wait around. He entered the ring with a bat and started swinging. Ghost brawled with both the PXM, who eventually took back control by flooring Ghost with a double Gorilla press. However, Ghost would not let himself be at a disadvantage. As the action spilled outside, Ghost grabbed a road sign and clocked the PXM, taking the lead again. As the action spilled back in the ring, Extinct got involved, giving Ghost a little trip from the outside. That was all the PXM needed. Ghost went outside to jaw with Extinct, then found himself being put through a table by Battle. Ghost was then rolled into the ring, lifted up and hit with the Philadelphia Back Breaker...

AND HE KICKED OUT!!! GHOST KICKED OUT OF THE BREAKER!!! The PXM looked like they just HAD seen a ghost. Battle lifted Ghost up and hit him with the Post Breaker...but Ghost kicked out of that TOO!!! Out of sheer frustration, Battle decided to choke the life out of Ghost...to no avail. Ghost got to his feet, and Slash tried to floor him with a dropkick..

Ghost sidestepped, hit an elbow to the sternum and then hit the Final Breath! 1....2....3!!!!

Ghost had just defeated BOTH members of the World Tag Team Champions...TOGETHER!!! WOW!!! With the verdict came Doomsday. Extinct was not about to let Ghost enjoy this amazing victory. Doomsday and the PXM did a number on Ghost and left him laying. Wow. Ghost has done nothing but impress since coming to the SMWA!

Hour two started once again with SMWA Comissioner Jack McCullough coming down to the ring. "Folks, this whole Back Street Brawl situation has got me thinking. I've met with the championship board, and we've reached the following decision.

Before McCullough could start, out came Gunloc and Chad Hillsman, looking none too pleased. Hillsman started in. "McCullough, I can't believe you're letting this travesty continue. Kent beat Zangief...you know as well as I do that the Russian doesn't deserve to be in the main event now. Even Haggar, that damn traitor. He's been beaten by Clark. Don't think for a second that the American people are going to stand for this sort of thing! And by that, I especially mean the ALL-AMERICANS!!!"

McCullough shot back. "Hillsman, shut up and listen. This is going to interest you as well. First of all, about Back Street Brawl...Zangief vs Haggar is one of if not THE biggest match in the history of the SMWA...so of course, every wrestler here wants their nose stuck in that match. It's not going to happen. As of right now, Haggar vs Zangief is going to be held inside of a 15 foot high STEEL CAGE!!! Back Street Brawl is a hardcore event, might as well have a hardcore main event."

Hillsman started to speak, but was cut off. "Chad, I aint finished yet, so shut the hell up. Next Monday, just to get the bugs out of this whole situation, we're going to have a little tag team action. Haggar's going to find himself a tag team partner. So is Zangief. Simply the Best is going to wrestle. I wanted this to be a triangle match, but since it seems to me by the way you're talking that you'd just go and get involved anyway, we'll make it a four way match."

"In other words, Chad, quit your whining and shut up, because next week, we're going to have Simply the Best vs Zangief vs Haggar vs The All Americans. Now get out of my face."

Hillsman smiled, and he and Gunloc left.

"And one other thing about Back Street Brawl. It's a cage match, but I still don't trust everybody involved. So I'm going to have a special enforcer at ringside. An extra referee. I'll leave that surprise until the night of."

A few brilliant moves by McCullough. Talk about giving the fans what they want!

Alexander "The Grater" pinned Dragon de Hielo with the Doomsday Tornado in 0:03:50.
Rating: ** 1/2

Alexander "The Grater" lost by a voluntary countout to Dragon de Hielo this Saturday...he wasn't taking any crap tonight. A choke slam, a superplex...Hielo was getting smoked off the start. His only real offense was a spinning leg lariat off of the top rope. Grater shrugged it off and hit the Doomsday Tornado.

Then, we were at the carnival, as Clepto the Clown came down to ringside. "Congratulations on picking on somebody smaller than you, Grater...you big meanie!!! Look what you did to the poor little Dragon. I know, you're looking at me right now like you want to beat me up real bad...but don't you want to know why?"

Grater grabbed the mic in the ring. "You got sixty seconds to tell me before I run down that aisle and beat your damn ass, so go ahead."

"Fine. Remember a few years ago. I guess the SMWA was in town, and you, the big mean old Grater, took time out to take some kids to the circus...my circus. I used to be quite the performer, remember. I made all the kids laugh, made the adults happy, made the women swoon...I was the best at what I did. When I threw those pies into the crowd, and people got their faces all creamed up, they were so happy...everybody except you, Grater. I remember hitting you with that pie and you hit me BACK!!! You dropped me on my damn head. I couldn't juggle anymore, I couldn't make baloon animals cause they scared me too much. I couldn't even hear a honking horn without having flashbacks!!! But I wasn't going to let that stop me."

"I trained, Grater. I trained real hard. I got right back on my unicycle and got back all my circus training, but I wasn't going to stop there. I wanted to show you and all the other wrestlers in the world that I'm not just some clown. I'm a human being, and I can kick ass too! So I trained, and I trained, and I've become the greatest clown-turned-wrestler ever to step foot in a ring...all so I could get a shot at you, Grater. I'm gonna ruin your life!!!"

Grater looked at Clepto with disbelief, then lost it. "THAT IS THE DUMBEST DAMN STORY I'VE HEARD IN MY WHOLE DAMN LIFE!!! FIRST OF ALL, WHERE DO YOU GET OFF TELLING PEOPLE I WENT TO THE CIRCUS. SECOND OF ALL, I REMEMBER YOU AND YOU DAMN WELL SUCKED AT BEING A CLOWN WORSE THAN YOU SUCK AT BEING A WRESTLER. THIRD OF ALL...I JUST DON'T DAMN WELL LIKE YOUR ASS, SO I'M COMING DOWN THERE TO BEAT IT RIGHT NOW!!!!"

Grater stormed out of the ring and charged the injured Clepto. The Clown backed off, but Grater grabbed his arm and was going to work him...until the arm fell off. Clepto laughed, ran away and the chase was on!

The ever expanding Sky Entertainment Ltd. were facing off against the newly formed Raiders next.

The Raiders (Rod Emerson, Teknos and West Bronco) defeated Sky Entertainment Ltd. (Angus Wallace, Hamish MacTavish and Ron Grayson) when Teknos defeated Wallace via pinfall in 0:12:59.
Rating: * 1/2

Sky accompaignied his team of Highland Hell and Ron Grayson down to ringside, while Titan came down with West Brocno, Rod Emerson and Teknos. These battles have been heated, and thus far pretty even. Sky had taken a big win with the Scotsman's capturing the TV belt, but had lost to the Actor earlier. This was a big match with the Raiders.

Ron Grayson, Sky Entertainment's Director of Personel, and Rod Emerson started the bout. Emerson showed the mean streak he's had ever since his partner McKee was put on the shelf by Sky Entertainment. Teknos came in and dazzled before Hamish put him through a table outside with a belly-to-belly SUPERPLEX!! !

Bronco brawled with the Highlanders, but was unable to get his hands on his foe Grayson. Teknos was then hit with a For William by Angus and saved. He survived a cheap shot by the Scotsman on the outside, but was looking rough. Fortunately, the Raiders weren't above getting involved. As the action spilled to the outside, Hamish was grabbed by Titan and put through a table with a Claw Slam!!! The ref, oblivious, counted three inside as Teknos made the cover.

There was a brawl, but the Raiders were quicker to pick up weapons, and they got the advantage, sending Sky Entertainment running.

Main Event
The Gauntlet of Sin, Part 3
Tables Match: King Rasta vs Shadow Maxx

Maxx came to the ring first, Saul Masters carrying down several tables for this match. Rasta then entered, table under his arm, looking to kick ass. He didn't care who's side Maxx was on...he was in the way of his monkey.

There was a brief staredown before Rasta attacked. Rasta wasn't wasting any time when, after a big flurry of punches and kicks, he tried to suplex Maxx through a table. Maxx blocked it with a brainbuster, and then dropped Rasta with a bulldog ONTO a CHAIR!!! With that move, Maxx drew first blood. But Rasta wouldn't stop!!!

Rasta came back with a thunderous German suplex, then he tried to hit a flying bulldog throug a table. Maxx moved, and Rasta luckily bounced off the table to the floor (if you can call that lucky). Maxx again used a chairshot, this time as a flying forearm. Rasta found the bat Ghost had used at ringside and took that to Maxx, whacking him in the knee a few times. But Maxx blocked one of the hits and shoved the butt of the bat right in between the eyes of Rasta, nearly knocking him out.

Maxx set up a groggy Rasta for a Dark Bomb, but Rasta wasn't quite out. He squirmed enough to lessen the impact and avoid breaking the table. He got up and slammed a ring bell over Maxx's head. A Dreadlock drop followed. Maxx tried to hit an Asai moonsault outside the ring after a backdrop, but was powerslammed for his trouble. But he still hit a senton later that came very close to driving Rasta through a table. Maxx threw a table into the ring and went to Tombstone Rasta on top of the table. Rasta reversed the Tombstone and, from off of the table, delivered one of his own. As Maxx groggily got to his feet, Rasta went outside and slingshoted himself in. Maxx went crashing through the side of the table.

Table Match:
King Rasta defeated Shadow Maxx by putting him through a table in 0:12:10.
Rating: **** 1/4

Glutt and Blackhook then charged the ring, but Rasta held them off. Then Skarzz appeared on the top of the ramp. We faded to black as the monster made his way to the ring.
