MWL Redline - January 30, 2008
* * *
"Hey, Nick, you seen this, yet?" Jim Norris called, as Nicholas Hunter approached the bulletin board in front of Michael Jamborgh's office.
"No, what is it?" Nick asked, as Jim turned to read it.
"It's a notice, saying that, except for the Asian Persuasion, all lightweights need to see Michael Jamborgh, and it also says that Shane Warner, Viper, and you all need to see Michael, too." Jim answered.
"Really? Well, we're here, might as well..." Nick shrugged, pushing the door to Michael's office open. Shane Warner was laying on the couch beside Michael's desk, and Viper was sitting in one of a few visitor's chairs in the office.
"Oh, good, Free Radical, just who I needed to see! I've already spoken with everyone else, except you guys, of course." Michael grinned. "Please, Jimmy, Nick, have a seat." Michael motioned to the several other chairs as Jim Norris sat down, and Nicholas Hunter removed the MWL World Heavyweight Championship belt from his waist, draping it on his lap as he sat.
"Well, get on with it, Mike." Shane urged.
"Alright, at MWL Conquest, on February 10, we've got two MAJOR matches scheduled. That's why I called all of you here. First, we're going to have a six-man tag team match, pitting the founding members of the X, Yugo Ryan, Lino, and Catastrophe, against the three of you. Nicholas Hunter, Shane Warner, and Viper." Michael began.
"What about me?" Jim asked.
"Hang on, Jimmy, I'm getting to you in a second. That six-man tag match will be an elimination match, and I'll be announcing the entire card after the main event, tonight. Now then, Jimmy, my boy. You remember our first Redline, when we had the six-man elimination match for the MWL World Lightweight Championship?" Michael asked.
"Of course I do! I went down in history as the first champion because of that match!" Jim announced.
"Well, we're doing something kind of like that at Conquest. I would have told you all this sooner, but the four of you waited until just now to see me!" Michael groaned. "Alright, now all of you, get. The only one with a match tonight is Shane. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay in my office. Go."
"Why do you want everybody out of here, so bad?" Shane asked.
"Because I want to watch the rest of the show in peace." Michael answered.
"Aah." Shane nodded.
Match 1: The Asian Persuasion v. Spike Norton & Scott Froelich
"Ladies and gentlemen, Stevan Corber here, with the former MWL World Heavyweight Champion who, tonight, will be facing the one and only Anthony Jacobs. Please welcome at this time, Kairez!" Stevan announced. "Kairez, last week, you accepted a challenge made by AJ, to face him head-to-head tonight."
"Of course I did!" Kairez spat. "That little punk needs to learn a lesson in respect! I know he's got talent, but his attitude has got to change. If he keeps up like that in MWL, he will get nowhere. I'm just the man to demonstrate that. And I'll do it tonight."
"So you think that after tonight, Anthony Jacobs will have respect for the rest of the roster?" Stevan asked.
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to manage that, but mark my words, after tonight, AJ, you will NEVER be the same!" Kairez growled, making his exit.

"How could Jamborgh DARE to put me in a match with a hack like Shane Warner?!" Yugo demanded. "He's not even worth our time!"
"Hey, me an' Catastrophe have to face Viper and Nick next week." Lino shrugged. "At least you don't have to wrestle that night."
"Yeah, and you don't have to wrestle tonight. What's your point?" Yugo snapped.
"Just trying to make you feel better." Lino answered.
"Everybody knows that I am the single most dominant wrestler in all of MWL, and I should rightfully still hold that championship!" Yugo announced.
"But you lost fair and square." Lino muttered.
"SHUT UP!" Yugo shouted.
Match 2: Kairez v. Anthony Jacobs
"You think you're ready, Shane?" Michael asked, turning to face Shane, who was asleep on the couch. "Shane. Shane? SHANE!" Michael yelled, as Shane quickly jerked awake.
"Huh, whaa...?" Shane groaned.
"Your match is in just about a minute, or so." Michael stated.
"Already?" Shane asked, yawning.
"Yes. You're facing the longest reigning MWL World Heavyweight Champion, remember?" Michael pressed.
"Oh, uh, yeah." Shane groaned, standing up. "So you're announcing everything for Conquest after the match, right?"
"Yeah." Michael answered.
"Alright, good to know." Shane muttered, yawning again, and making his exit from Michael's office.
"That man is completely nuts..." Michael groaned.

"Nick, this is awesome!" Jim Norris announced. "I'm getting another shot at the MWL World Lightweight Championship! That belt is as good as MINE!"
"Remember, Jimmy, you'll have to go through five other guys. One of which is the current champion." Nick answered.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know... Killjoy." Jim muttered.
"What was that?" Nick asked.
"Nothing! Nothing!" Jim replied.
Main Event: Shane Warner v. Yugo Ryan
As Yugo Ryan stepped out of the ring, celebrating his victory, Michael Jamborgh appeared on the stage, and began to make his way to the ring. Michael stepped through the ropes as Shane Warner retrieved a microphone and handed it to him. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to reveal the match card for MWL Conquest, on February 10, 2008! First, starting the show will be--" Michael began, as Anthony Jacobs appeared on the stage, microphone in hand.
"Michael Jamborgh!" AJ interrupted. "I demand a title shot at Conquest!"
"Why did you have to do this now? Alright, tell you what, AJ. At Conquest, you'll have two matches. If you win both of them, come Fallen Rites, or anytime before it, I'll give you a shot at any title you want." Michael answered. "But get ready, 'cause this is where it gets good. You already have your Last Man Standing match with Allan Martel, that'll be match number two. But at Conquest, your first match is against THIS MAN!" Michael announced, as Panzer stepped out onto the stage. "Now, let's make the match good, let's go with... A table match. Sounds good to me!" Michael laughed, as Panzer lunged at AJ, who proceeded to scurry backstage.
"Now then, moving on, opening the show will be AJ versus Panzer in a table match. Then, AJ will keep going, and will face Allan Martel in a Last Man Standing match. And now, we get to our title matches. First of all, Genbu will be defending the MWL-CAW Championship at Conquest, in a Fatal 4-Way Ladder match that will involve, of course the champion, but also Red Norton, Magnum, and Kairez!" Michael announced.
"Then, we've got the rematch from a couple of weeks ago. Seiryu and Kouryuu will defend the MWL World Tag Team Championship against the Asian Persuasion in a tornado tag team Hell in a Cell match! And here come our big matches!" Michael continued.
"We will lower, from the arena ceiling, the single most vicious structure in professional wrestling history -- the Elimination Chamber!" Michael shouted. "Two matches will be held in that bad boy, the first being a six-man, tornado tag team match. It will be Team MWL, represented by Viper, Shane Warner, and the MWL World Heavyweight Champion, Nicholas Hunter, facing Team X, represented by Yugo Ryan, Catastrophe, and MWL North American Champion, Lino. Then, after that, we'll have one more spectacle for you all. The MWL World Lightweight Championship will be up for grabs in the Chamber, when it will be Scott Froelich versus Spike Norton, versus David Hitz, versus Jim Norris, versus Christopher Martel, versus Byakko, with the last man standing walking out with the title! Ladies and gentlemen, that is MWL Conquest, good night." Michael stated, dropping the microphone as Michael and Shane made their exit.
