MWL Redline - September 26, 2007
"Seiryu, Kouryuu, you boys won the #1-contender's match at Infection, right?" Nicholas asked, propping one foot on the bottom rope and leaning on the top rope. "Well, come on out. We've got something to ask you." The two waited for a few moments, quietly.
"I guess they're not here, yet." Jim stated.
"Or afraid." Nicholas answered. "Seiryu! Kouryuu! We're calling you out! Right now! Get your asses out here!" The two then stood quietly, waiting for the Ssu-Ling. "Well, I guess they're not--" Nicholas began as the Ssu-Ling's music began, and Seiryu and Kouryuu appeared on the stage.
"What?" Kouryuu demanded. "We're not what?"
"Uhh...nothing, nothing." Nicholas replied.
"Yeah, I'll bet." Seiryu answered. "Why'd you call us out here?"
"Well, you guys won the #1-contender's match at Infection, so--" Nicholas began.
"No." Kouryuu snapped.
"But WE are the fut--" Nicholas pressed.
"NO!" Kouryuu shouted.
"Mark my words, Kouryuu. I will have your head on a platter!" Nicholas spat.

"Hello, Stevan Corber here, with Michael Jamborgh." Stevan announced.
"Alright, Stevan, I'll make this quick. First off, we've got a couple of new talent acquisitions to show off. Unfortunately, though, they don't know any English, or, not enough, anyway, so we have to give them a translator. Those boys will take on Free Radical tonight, in just a few moments." Michael stated.
"And how about the rest of the show?" Stevan asked.
"Settle down, I'm getting to it." Michael answered. "After that, we're going to begin the process for selecting a new challenger for Genbu's MWL-CAW Championship. Tonight, in a triple threat match, it will be Allan Martel, Kouryuu, and Catastrophe. Next week, we'll do another triple threat match, and the week after that, we'll suspend the MWL-CAW Championship above the ring, and the first man to pull it down will get a piece of Genbu."
"Wow! So, what about the main event?" Stevan asked.
"Well, Yugo and Lino were supposed to defend the tag titles against Magnum and Chance in a rematch, but they haven't shown up to the arena yet, so we'll find out what happens there." Michael answered.
"Jim Norris and Nicholas Hunter take on MWL's newest up-and-comers, NEXT!" Stevan announced.
Match 1: The Asian Persuasion v. Free Radical
As Michael Jamborgh sat in his office, watching the monitor, his door flew open, and in stepped Chad Vritska. "Michael! I know he just finished a match, but damn it--!" Chad began.
"Wait, whoa, whoa, hold on, Chad. What the hell are you doing here? You only work on the pay-per-view shows." Michael demanded.
"I am fed up with Jim Norris running his mouth! Him and his jackass tag partner took over Domination last month, and on top of that, they took control again on Sunday, and there was a specific reference to ME!" Chad spat.
"And what do you want me to do about it, Chad?" Michael asked.
"Come on, Michael, I used to wrestle, remember? I want that punk in the ring! Not even for the title, I just want to beat some respect into him!" Chad announced.
"Hmm...pay-per-view correspondent Chad Vritska versus the 3-time, reigning, MWL World Lightweight Champion, Jim Norris." Michael pondered. "Yeah, I suppose. Next week, here on Redline."
"Good call." Chad nodded.
"I suggest you work on remastering that Facecracker of yours." Michael muttered, as Chad stepped out of his office.

"Stevan Corber here, with MWL's newest talent acquisitions, the Asian Persuasion!" Stevan announced, as the two men chattered.
"Uh, 'Stevan', was it?" The translator asked.
"Yeah." Stevan answered.
"Well, Tiananman here says he has no idea what you're saying." The translator muttered.
"So they don't speak or understand English?" Stevan clarified.
"Right." The translator nodded.
"Well, what are their thoughts on their debut, tonight?" Stevan asked, as the translator repeated the question in Chinese. The duo then began rambling in Chinese, as the translator showed an expression of shock and disgust.
"They're vowing revenge against Free Radical." The translator stated, as Tiananman and Kentan kept rambling.
"How--" Stevan began.
"I can't say it on TV..." The translator muttered.

Match 2: MWL-CAW Contendership Qualifier - Allan Martel v. Kouryuu v. Catastrophe
As Catastrophe celebrated in the ring, the Ssu-Ling's music began as Genbu and Suzaku appeared on the stage. "Enjoy your victory while you can, Catastrophe. Because even if you win that #1-contender's ladder match in a couple of weeks, you won't be able to take this title from Genbu." Suzaku announced.
"Hahah! Bet me!" Catastrophe snapped in reply. "One well-placed Tilt-A-Whirl Knockout takes anybody down!"
"Prove it." Suzaku sneered, as Catastrophe stepped out of the ring and charged toward the stage. He was quickly stopped as Genbu grabbed him by the head and threw him into the base of the titantron. Genbu then picked him up and took him to the back, as Suzaku followed.

"Hello, Stevan Corber, here, with the new MWL World Tag Team Champions, Yugo Ryan and Lino." Stevan announced. "Gentlemen, Michael has told me that Magnum and Chance are still nowhere to be seen. So...I guess your first title defense is a success."
"What?" Yugo asked, cocking an eyebrow. "No, we won't let it be that easy. We came here to kick some ass tonight, and that's exactly what we're going to do! Come on, you two!" Yugo announced, turning and storming away as Lino and Melissa went after him.
* * *
As Yugo's music began, he appeared on the stage, his MWL World Tag Team Championship belt around his waist, as Melissa stepped out, holding the MWL World Heavyweight Championship, and Lino, wearing his tag title belt. The music continued as the three of them made their way down the ramp and into the ring. All three of them grabbed a microphone as they entered the ring. As Yugo and Lino posed, Melissa folded up the MWL World Heavyweight title belt and placed it at the base of one of the ringposts.
"Alright, Sunday, at Infection, me and my tag partner, here, destroyed the former tag champs, and walked out with two shiny, new, belts." Yugo announced. "Now, I was told shortly afterwards that tonight, we would be putting the belts back on the line in a rematch."
"Now, unfortunately, just a second ago, we were told that our challengers weren't here, yet." Lino continued. "So, Magnum, Chance, we're only waiting a few seconds longer." He paused, looking toward the entry ramp.
"Well?" Melissa demanded. "We're waiting!" The three fell silent, waiting for the opponents.
"Well, I guess they aren't going to show up. But we came here tonight to kick some ass, and that's what we're going to do. These tag titles are still on the line." Lino stated.
"Melissa, go pick out two guys for us to face." Yugo smirked. "And no wusses, either."
Melissa slid out of the ring and surveyed the ringside area. She found one, pointed to him, then to the ring, and continuing her search. The man slid into the ring, and approached Yugo. "Alright, kid, what's your name?" Yugo asked.
"Jesse Moeller." He answered.
"Melissa, you got the second one, yet?" Lino asked, as Melissa picked out another man, sending him to the ring. He entered and approached Lino. "And what's your name?"
"I'm James Erickson." He answered, as Yugo chuckled.
"Jesse and James. Figures. Alright, remember, the MWL World Tag Team Championship is on the line." Yugo stated, pulling off his jacket and glasses, handing them to Melissa, as Lino followed suit and exited to the ring apron.
Main Event: MWL World Tag Team Championship - (C) Yugo Ryan and Lino v. two fans
Melissa entered the ring, all three belts in hand, giving Lino his title and Yugo his titles, as the three stood in the ring, celebrating, as Jesse and James stepped over the guardrail back into the audience. "Magnum, Chance..." Yugo began. "Take our warning seriously. Keep Panzer ready. You'll need him for when we bring our third man into the equation!" With that, Yugo threw down his microphone, and the trio stepped out of the ring, making their way up the ramp.
