wOw Primetime 2/22

[HeartBurn Kid]

(As the show begins, Travis Corleone and GoodFellas, Inc. are walking out of RD Reynolds' office. They run into Jim Neidhart.)
TC: Well, well! Mr. Neidhart! Just who we wanted to see!
JN: Look, Corleone, I have your money right here. Call your damn goons off.
TC: It's a little late for that, Jimmy. You and your little friend, Dexter Hart...
JN: He's not my friend!
TC: You two have embarassed me for the last time! I'd like to introduce you to the two newest superstars to be called up from ACW... GoodFellas, Inc! And their debut match is going to be tonight, against you and a partner of your choosing! Anybody you want! Heh... good luck...
(TC and GFi start to walk away. Travis turns around.)
TC: Oh, and Jim... I think Dexter Hart won't be making it to the show tonight. I understand he's been... detained.
(TC laughs as he and GFi walk away.)

("Champion" plays over our usual opening sequence, starting off wOw Primetime.)
BW: YEE-HAW! wOw Primetime is on the air again! I'm "Big Foot" Barry Windham, and with me as always is "The HeartBurn Kid" Chris Dobbs, and HBK, we've got a hell of a show tonight!
HBK: That's right, Barry. Tonight, as you just saw, GoodFellas Inc. will be debuting, taking on Jim Neidhart and a partner of his choice! Also, we'll be seeing the debut of a brand new ladies' tag team, the... the... Mercy Sisters. We've got a lot going on tonight, so let's get started!

("Mope" hits, and... and... nothing happens. Cut to back, where Barry Horowitz in a stagehand's uniform goes into a locker room, and finds Silent Storm watching something on a monitor. The voice of Dan Hibiki (as heard in commercials from the last two shows) is heard coming from the monitor.)
DH: KORYUUKEN! See how simple that was? Now you try!
BH: Mr. Storm? You're on.
SS: o yea right...
(Storm turns off the monitor and leaves the locker room. Cut back to arena. "Mope" hits again, and after a short delay, Storm makes his way out.)
HBK: Storm's been in quite the slump lately. Maybe he can turn it around here?
BW: I wouldn't bet on that, HBK.
(Storm does a few stretches on the ropes, until "One Step Closer" hits. Apocalypse makes his way out, looking all big and impressive.)

MATCH 1:

Silent Storm vs. Apocalypse.

Silent Storm spends most of this match on the receiving end, getting beaten and tossed about by the massive Apocalypse. Finally, Apocalypse signals for his finish, and picks Storm up, but Storm counters, launching into a spinning uppercut while screaming, "KORYUUKEN!" Apocalypse goes down, and Storm looks dumbfounded for a second. He finally gets his bearings, and goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3! Apocalypse kicks out a split second AFTER the ref's hand hits the mat!

WINNER: SILENT STORM

BW: STORM WINS! STORM WINS! STORM WINS!

(Storm quickly rolls out of the ring, then raises his hands up as "Mope" fills the arena. He then does a little dance in the aisleway, then takes off, with Apocalypse in hot pursuit.)

[HeartBurn Kid]

HBK: (under breath)Can't believe they hired a pair of psychos like...(/under breath) What? We're back on?
BW: Let's go backstage, where Kelly Osborne is standing by!
(Cut to back, where Kelly Osborne is with the Mercy Sisters, who are blonde twins in white blouses and plaid skirts)
KO: Yeah! I'm *beep*[/i]in' here with the *beep*[/i]in' Mercy Sisters, who are all set to make their *beep*[/i]in' debut tonight. Girls, I've been hearing that you *beep*[/i]in' killed people or some *beep*[/i] like that. Is that *beep*[/i]in' true?
Mary Mercy: Yes, it's true. And for that, we'll always be sorry. But we've been getting professional help for nine years now, and our doctor has helped us see what terrible things we've done. But we can't change the past. All we can do is move on, and do the best we can in the future.
KO: Yeah, that's fo *beep*[/i]in' true. So...
Grace Mercy: (grabs KO by face) You know, you should really watch your mouth. (tosses KO aside)
(Mercys leave)
KO: Those *beep*[/i]in' *beep*[/i]es! Back to you, Barry.
(We cut back to the ring as the world-famous Masked Female Jobbers are entering the ring. "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve hits, and the Mercys make their way out to the ring, and waste no time attacking the MFJs!)

MATCH 2:

The Mercy Sisters vs. The Masked Female Jobbers

The Mercys squash the MFJs in a fairly brutal fashion, using mostly brawling and a few of the more painful-looking mat techniques. Finally, Grace tags Mary, then holds up MFJ #2 in a spinebuster position, while Mary springboards in and hits her with a flying lariat.

HBK: I understand they call that the Mercy Killing.

Academic cover.

WINNERS: THE MERCY SISTERS

After the match, the Mercys stand on top of MFJ #2, raising their hands as "Bittersweet Symphony" plays. They then pick up #2. #1 runs in, trying to save her partner, but only gets her own beatdown for her trouble.

(Cut to back. Jim Neidhart's on a cell phone, on speaker mode.)
JN: ...so that's the story. Think you can help me?
??: Geez, tough break, man. You guys are in New York tonight, right?
JN: Yeah.
??: I know a guy, name o' Joey Numbers, who works down at the port authority. I'll give him a call, and see if he can help ya out.
JN: Thanks, man. I owe you big.
??: Hey, no problem, man. Good luck with the match; it sounds like a real rocket-buster.
(Fade out)

(As we come back, "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is playing, as Jared Steele makes his way down to the ring, where Gaylord Focker and Mr. PAV are waiting.)
BW: So, HBK, what do you know about this Joey Numbers guy?
HBK: Absolutely nothing! You know anything?
BW: ... No.

MATCH 3: HANDICAP MATCH

Jared Steele vs. Gaylord Focker & Mr. PAV

PAV starts for his side. Steele proceeds to pretty much outclass him in every way possible, until he's forced to tag out to Focker. Focker gets some surprising offense in, before Steele takes control once more, putting on a veritable clinic. Focker tags back out, and as PAV enters, the ring starts to fill with smoke... Jared manages to stumble out of the growing smoke cloud, hanging onto the ropes, on the side of the ring towards the entranceway. "The Suffering: Scarred" starts to play, and Jared snaps back immediately, yelling "Come on!" to the entranceway... the smoke clears, and the Phantom is in the ring, behind Jared, PAV and Focker having apparently disappeared! The Phantom attacks Jared, dumping him out of the ring, then goes out to the floor to continue the assault, sending Jared shoulder first into the ringpost. The Phantom stands over Steele, yelling at him, until the lights fade. The lights come back on, and the Phantom is gone!

BW: What the-?
HBK: This Phantom... he's been using these hit and run tactics against Steele... what's he trying to prove here?

NO CONTEST

Steele gets up, a look of rage in his eyes. He pounds the ring apron, and kicks the steps, then walks away, stopping to argue with a fan before finally leaving.

BW: The Phantom is really starting to get under Steele's skin; I've never seen him lose his composure like that.

(Fade to commercial)

[HeartBurn Kid]

(As we come back from break, "Dirty Business" by The Constantines is playing, as "Big" Tony DeCiccio and Paul E. Grabano, GoodFellas Inc., make their way to the ring, accompanied by Travis Corleone. Paul E. does a little shadowboxing as Travis gets on the mic.)
TC: Neidhart! You dumb bastard! You've embarrassed me far too many times! Now the way I see it, ya got two options... Option A, you come out here and take your medicine like a good llittle boy, and Option B... we come back there and make you!
("Who Made Who?" hits, and Jim Neidhart comes out, and stops short in the aisle. Tony and Paul E. start motioning to him, practically slavering at the bit, but their eager expressions are replaced with surprise as "War Machine" by KISS hits. A burly dockworker with a buzzcut, wearing a pair of jeans and a wifebeater comes out. Neidhart and this new arrival slide into the ring, and stand to confront GFi, until Travis picks up the mic again.)
TC: Waitwaitwait... who the hell are you supposed to be?
(The dock worker grabs the mic out of Travis's hands...)
??: I'm Joey Numbers. I work down at the port authority.
(Numbers then clocks Travis with the mic. GFi spring to the attack, and the bell rings.)

MAIN EVENT:
GoodFellas, inc. (w/ Travis Corleone) vs. Jim Neidhart and Joey Numbers

"Big" Tony dumps Jim Neidhart out of the ring, along with himself, with a flying lariat while Paul E. and Joey brawl. Paul E. gets the upper hand, driving Numbers into a neutral corner with repeated punches, until he backs off for a split second to wind up for a clothesline--and Numbers takes advantage, ducking under the clothesline and letting Grabano hit the turnbuckle! Numbers lays in some hard punches to Grabano...

BW: Woo-ee! Check out these here big soupbones by Joey Numbers! This guy's got some power!

Joey lets up for a second, enough for Paul E. to... stumble out of the corner and fall, face first. Numbers makes the tag to Neidhart, who goes in to capitalize. Neidhart picks up Grabano, and whips him into the Neidhart/Numbers corner. Neidhart delivers some punishing blows to the stomach, before Paul E. gets his hands around Neidhart's throat. From this position, he backs Neidhart into the GFi corner, and tags in Tony. Tony hops into the ring, while Paul E. hooks both Neidhart's arms... Tony hits a flying savate kick to Neidhart! Paul E. exits the ring. Tony jumps to the second rope, springs off, and lands on Neidhart with a double stomp. Then again. He goes for it a third time, but Neidhart rolls out of the way! Neidhart gets up and tags in Numbers, then both start to go towards GFi... but Numbers grabs Neidhart in a Hard Way Suplex! Neidhart's dropped directly on his head!

BW: What the--?!
HBK: Dear "Bob"! What a brutal suplex!

The bell rings, frantically, as GFi and Travis Corleone make their way into the ring. Travis is laughing uproariously as Numbers picks up Neidhart, then hits him with a T-Bone Suplex. Numbers again picks him up, then hits him with a Northern Lights Powerbomb.

HBK: Neidhart suffering a brutal assault here... this guy Numbers is tearing him apart!

Numbers again picks up Neidhart, as DeCiccio climbs up the turnbuckle... Grabano bounds off the ropes and hits Neidhart with a Mafia Kick, and as he barely hits the ground, DeCiccio hits him with a Shooting Star Press...

BW: As if Neidhart hadn't taken enough punishment, there's GoodFellas, inc. with the Pay Off.

Travis gets a mic.

TC: You see, Neidhart? You see why nobody *beep*s with Travis Corleone? Because you don't just *beep* with me... You *beep* with the Old... World... ORDER! Capisce?

Corleone kicks Neidhart in the head one more time for good measure, before Dexter Hart runs in from the crowd holding a chair! The oWo scatter, regrouping on the outside, and head to the back, their work done. Show closes on Dexter standing over Jim's unconscious body.
