MWL Redline - April 2, 2008
"Michael!" Chad Vritska called out, walking into Michael's office.
"Yeah, what is it, Chad?" Michael asked, turning to face him. Standing behind Chad was Shane Warner, Seiryu, and Kouryuu. "Oh, good lord..."
"I've decided what I'll cash in my title match on." Chad grinned.
"And that would be?" Michael asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"Well, as you're WELL aware, Seiryu and Kouryuu, unfortunately, lost the MWL World Tag Team Championship to SYN at Fallen Rites. Well, since at Fallen Rites I won a championship match of MY choosing, it will be, at Fallout, myself and Shane Warner, versus SYN, versus Seiryu and Kouryuu, in an HT5 match for the MWL World Tag Team Championship!" Chad announced.
"Alright, then. HT5 it is." Michael nodded.
"R-really? That's it?" Chad asked.
"Yeah, now get out of here, I'm expecting Allan Martel any minute, now." Michael stated, shooing the four men out of his office. Just as Michael prepared to sit back down, there was a knocking on his office door. "Come in." Michael called, as the door was pushed open and in stepped Allan.
"You wanted to see me, Michael?" Allan asked.
"Yeah, please, have a seat." Michael stated, gesturing to the chair in front of his desk. "Now, Allan, it's come to my attention that you're doing rather well as of late, so I ask you this. Would you, Allan Martel, like to compete for the MWL World Heavyweight Championship?" Michael asked. Allan looked surprised for a moment, then an expression of joy washed over his face.
"Are you kidding me?! Of course I would!" Allan announced. "Heehee! Allan Martel, the first-ever Candian to hold the MWL World Heavyweight Championship! Oh, man, when do I get my shot?!"
"Not yet, I'm afraid. However, to get you in shape for the shot, I'm first giving you a shot at Genbu and the MWL North American Championship." Michael stated.
"Alright." Allan nodded, stroking his chin. "When's that going to happen?"
"In the opening match for Fallout." Michael stated.
"Well, I hope Genbu'll be ready then, because I was BORN for HARDCORE!" Allan shouted.
"Yeah, Allan, we get it." Michael groaned. "Just...just go."
"Right-o!" Allan stated, as he stood and left Michael's office.
Match 1: Tiananman v. Scott Froelich
"Ladies and gentlemen, Stevan Corber here, with the team of Jim Norris and Nicholas Hunter, Free Radical!" Stevan announced. "Jim Norris, tonight, you and your tag team partner do battle with the team of David Hitz and Byakko. Could this match tonight be a sign of things to come at Fallout, when yourself and David Hitz will face off to earn a shot at the MWL World Lightweight Championship?"
"Stevan, allow me to say that win, lose, or draw tonight, come Fallout, I will be the one with his hand raised, going in to face the Lightweight Champion for the strap. Now, I don't know if it'll be Chris or Scott, but either way, I will be walking away from my next title match as the six-time MWL World Lightweight Champion!" Jim shouted.
"And Nicholas, at Fallout, you will be competing against Yugo Ryan in a two out of three falls hardcore match for the MWL World Heavyweight Championship. What are your thoughts on that?" Stevan asked.
"Well, Stevan, in short, I'm going to beat the holy high hell out of Yugo and walk back out with the title that should STILL be around my waist. It took a bunch of guys kicking my ass backstage days beforehand to make me lose the title in the first place, and at Fallout, that belt will be right back where it belongs." Nick stated, gesturing towards his waist.
"Right, well, good luck in your match tonight, guys." Stevan stated.
"Luck has nothing to do with it!" Jim laughed. "I'll be pinning David, tonight, no doubt about it!"
"Alright, Jimmy, let's get going." Nick stated.
"Right. Later, Stevan!" Jim called.
"Free Radical versus David Hitz and Byakko is up, NEXT!" Stevan announced.
Match 2: Free Radical v. David Hitz & Byakko
As Jim Norris and David Hitz brawled at ringside, the referee tried to break them up. However, he was quickly shoved aside, and the two continued to attack each other. "Wait, hold it right there!" A woman's voice called. All four men at ringside looked toward the ramp, where a man and woman, never seen before in MWL, were standing. Jim looked to David, kicked him in the shin, then turned his attention back to the new pair. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sarah Alyssa, the head of talent relations in Cross-Atlantic Wrestling, and this is my hand-picked enforcer, Chris 'High Stakes' Campbell." The woman stated.
"Now, I'm told that there is a problem around here by the name of the X. Well, Chris and myself arrived here just in time tonight, to see this brawl break out, and I can't help but think the problem lies in the roster. So, like it or not, Michael, I'm making a change to your match card for Fallout. In the number-one contender's match for the MWL World Lightweight Championship, it will be Jim Norris, versus David Hitz, versus Chris Campbell." Sarah stated.
"And you know what? Since there's still an open match slot for Fallout, I'm also announcing a number-one contender's match for the MWL World Tag Team Championship. That will see Magnum & Chance face Anthony Jacobs & Kairez. And you know what? I think that tonight, we'll have us a title match." Sarah grinned, as Chris laughed.
"Tonight, in that very ring, we'll see an MWL-CAW Championship match. It will be the reigning champion, Panzer, defending his title against Seiryu of the Ssu-Ling. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I have to go speak with Michael about this disorderly conduct." Sarah spat, as she made her way backstage, and Chris followed shortly behind her. Free Radical then made their way backstage, and shortly afterward, so did David Hitz and Byakko.
Main Event: MWL-CAW Championship - (C) Panzer v. Seiryu
"Ladies and gentlemen, Stevan Corber here, to run down the card for MWL Fallout this Sunday! To open the show, Genbu will defend the MWL North American Championship against Allan Martel. Then, to determine the number-one contenders to the MWL World Tag Team Championship will be a tag team match between the teams of Magnum & Chance and Anthony Jacobs & Kairez. After that, in another number-one contender's match it will be David Hitz, Jim Norris, and newcomer Chris Campbell in a triple threat match. Then, Christopher Martel will defend the MWL World Lightweight Championship against Scott Froelich. Following that, Yugo Ryan defends the MWL World Heavyweight Championship in a two out of three falls hardcore match. And then, in the main event, MWL World Tag Team Champions, SYN, will defend the belts against Seiryu & Kouryuu, and Shane Warner & Chad Vritska in an HT5 match. All this at MWL Fallout this Sunday, we'll see you there!" Stevan announced.
