Monday Night Mayhem
The pyrotechnics explode all over the stage, as the show kicks off. The camera pans around as the fans wave the signs and attempt to get the cameraman's attention. Jim Ross walks out, takes his seat to the left of the stage, and then dons his headset...
Jim Ross: Good Evening, Everybody! We are live from the Rosemount Civic Center, I am Jim Ross and I welcome you to Mayhem! Ladies and Gentlemen, at this time, I'd like to introduce my colleague, Jessy "The Body" Ventura!"
The fans roar with cheers and applause as Jessy walks out, waves to the cheering crowd, then walks over to J.R. and sits down beside him...
Jessy Ventura: "Jim Ross, I am so pumped to be here, I can't even hear myself think!" (The fans begin chanting "Jessy, Jessy!" and he acknowledges them with a fist thrust upward into the air, and the fans chant even more. Eventually it dies down, and then Jessy re-takes his seat.) "What's gonna happen with the SEA Heavyweight Championship, J.R.?"
Jim Ross: "I haven't got a damned clue, Jessy, but wait, here comes our esteemed president now!"
------------------------------
In Ring Segment:
"Money, Money, Money" hits and out walks Nicholas Price, adorned in a three piece suit. He walks to the ring, enters, and grabs a microphon to address the crowd, who is unsure of what to make of this well dressed man.
Price: "I know what you're all thinking: Who is this man, and what's he doing here? Well, I am Nicholas Price and as Jim Ross so elloquently put it, I am the president of this federation! As the man who runs things around here, I decided to come out here tonight and talk about the most coveted title in wrestling history: The SEA Heavyweight Championship!
This prestigious title is vacant at the moment, but not for long. There will be a Tournament for this title, and the stipulations for this tournament will be stringent and will test every superstar's intestinal fortitude. Here's how it will go:
1st Round (Tag Team Tournament)
All members of the SEA will form Tag Teams. These tag teams will be randomly created by me. I will place everyone's name in a bingo-type drum and then select those names, two at a time. The first four names I draw will represent the first two teams to face each other. I will continue this until I have drawn sixteen teams. The teams who win, and only the teams who win will then continue in the tournament for the championship. So, guys, if you want that title badly enough, you'll have to get along with your partner, no matter what!
2nd round (4-Four Way Elimination Matches)
This round will have four matches (16 competitors total) take place, consecutively. Four-Four Way Elimination Matches will commence, and the pairings will again be randomly drawn. The four men who survive this encounter will then arrive at the finals!
Final Round (For the Championship) (Four Way Iron Man Match)
For the first time in wrestling history, a four way Iron Man Match will decide who becomes the World Champion! Now, the way I conduct Iron Man Matches, however, is a little bit different. The first man to five falls is the frontrunner, and all in-ring action ceases. The lone wrestler with the least falls at that monent is then eliminated. The match continues until someone else reaches five falls. If the front runner manages to reach ten falls, he is given the opportunity to select who is eliminated next. The match will then come down to two men, and with an additional 45 minutes added to the clock, the winner is the lone wrestler with the most overall falls at the end of the match!
Now, I am not only here to discuss the World's Title, I am here to discuss much more---"
Before Price can continue, HHH's music hits and out walks The Game! The fans shower him with boos and catcalls, as he walks to the ring, enters, gets a mic of his own, and addresses the boss...
The Game: "What the hell are you doing, man? There is only one thing you need to do with that title, and that is to put it around my waist! So, wise up, cut out this tournament crap and do the right thing: Give me the damned title!"
The fans boo this idea, but Triple H stands his ground. Price glares at the superstar athlete, but says nothing. Price then slowly and methodically puts the mic to his lips and speaks...
Price: "HHH, I understand that you want this title, but if you want it so bad, enter the tournament like everyone else! Then, if you go through 32 other guys, you can say you earned it. Now, if you ever interrupt me when I am speaking again, I will fire your ass!"
Price drops the mic and exits the ring, as the fans roar with cheers and laughter. Triple H is left fuming in the ring, as the SEA President heads backstage..
Jim Ross: "Hell yeah! That's more like it! Put that arrogant S.O.B. in his place, damn it!"
Jessy Ventura:"Whoa there, Jimbo! HHH was doing what was best for the company and the owner pissed all over it. Shame on you, Nihcolas!"
Jim Ross: "Well, at any rate, ladies and gentlemen, we need to take this short commercial time out, we'll be right back!"
-----------------------
commercial break
-----------------------
The show returns from the break, and the first match is about to get underway...
1st Match: Traci vs Victoria
Traci comes to the ring first, and recieves a mixed response to her arrival. Moments later, Victoria walks to the ring amidst a huge ovation from the fans. Victoria enters the ring, and immediately attacks Traci. Traci tries to recover from the attack, but Victoria is relentless. She whips Traci into the ropes and stuns her with a clothesline. Victoria scoops up Traci and plants her with her "Tilt-a-Whirl" type slam. Traci barely manages to kick out at two. Victoria argues with the ref about the count and this allows Traci to roll her up for a two count. Victoria snaps and begins levelling Traci with boots to the midsection and head. Victoria tosses Traci to the floor, and the fans begin to boo Victoria a bit. Victoria goes after Traci, tries to whip her into the steel post, but Traci somehow manages to reverse the move! Traci rolls into the ring, and then rolls back out. Traci tries to slam Victoria, but Victoria reverses it into a reverse DDT. Victoria grabs Traci by the waist and drives her back first into the apron. Traci sinks to the floor in pain as Victoria smiles evily at her. Victoria grabs Traci and throws her back into the ring, and then re-enters herself. Victoria slams Traci and then does a standing moonsault leap onto Traci. Traci again manages to somehow kick out before three. Victoria slams Traci and mounts the top rope. Victoria tries for a leaping splash, but Traci moves and Victoria catches nothing but canvas! Traci scoops up Victoria and tries for a suplex, but Victoria wriggles free of the move, reverses it, and nails a devastating Widow's Peak! The ref counts to three and Victoria wins the match!
Winner: Victoria
Post Match: Victoria snaps and assaults Traci even further, which brings out Lita! Lita rushes the ring and drills Victoria with a dropkick! Trish rushes out and nails Lita with a high heel kick to the face! Victoria slowly gets to her feet, smiles at Trish, walks over and shakes her hand! Victoria then turns around and blasts Trish with a forearm shot to the head! Victoria sets Trish up and nails her with another Widow's Peak! Victoria leaves the ring alone, to a mixture of cheers and boos.
Backstage Segment #1:
Y2J is backstage in his locker room, preparing for his match later on with an as-of-yet-unnamed opponent, when Nicholas Price enters. He calls Y2J over and they begin talking...
Nicholas Price: "Chris, I was looking for you. I wanted to let you know something about your match tonight. You are going to face The Game, HHH!(The crowd boos loudly at the mention of HHH's name, and Jericho's face registers a reaction of anger and disgust. Price continues speaking, as Jericho listens on..) Chris, I know you're not thrilled about facing the guy, but there's a big incentive in winning this match tonight. You see, Chris, whoever wins your match tonight gets to pick their tag team partner for the first leg of that tournament! Think about it, Chris, you win tonight and you can select someone you really trust, and that'll bring you that much closer to the SEA Championship! So, what do you say, Chris?"
Y2J: "I say bring on Mr. Hunter "The Jackass" Helmsley and watch Y2J, the Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah, make him regret ever setting foot in the ring with me! HHH get ready for the beating of a lifetime, a beating you will never, eeevvveerr forget again!"
Price smiles at Chris, shakes his hand, and then exits the locker room. As soon as Price is gone, Chris becomes absolutely livid, throwing things around the room. After a few moments, Chris calms down, and exits the locker room...
Match #2: Battle Royale for the vacant SEA International Championship
When the show returns from another break, the ring is full of superstars. The bell rings and the battle royale begins! Bodies fly out of the ring left and right, until six men are left: Eddie Guerrerro, Big Show, AJ Styles, Ron Killings, Jeff Jarrett, and Chris Benoit. Jarrett goes after Benoit, but gets quickly surprised with three German suplexes! Eddie tries to drop BS with a series of high flying moves, but is unsuccessful at getting the big man off his feet. Eddie suddenly yells at the other wrestlers, and soon they all team up against The Big Show! Eventually, they manage to hoist the big man over the top rope and to the concrete floor! Big Show is eliminated! Ron Killings floors Benoit with a huge clothesline, but gets clipped himself by a dropkick from AJ Styles! AJ and Eddie surprisingly team up and send Killings over the rop to the floor with a double dropkick! Jarrett grabs AJ and plants him with The Stroke! Benoit hammers on Jarrett, and together, Benoit and Eddie eliminate Jarrett with a double clothesline! Eddie tells Benoit to hold AJ, and Benoit does just that. Eddie springs off the boards, launches a high heeled reverse dropkick, misses AJ and hits Benoit instead! The momentum of the kick sends Benoir up and over the top rope to the floor! Eddie looks at Benoit outside the ring and profusely mouths an apology. AJ uses the moment to score a reverse kick of his own on Eddie! Eddie is prone on the mat, and AJ scores with a huge '450 splash! Eddie is barely conscious, and AJ attempts to toss him over the top rope! Eddie grabs the top rope, skins the cat, re-enters the ring, and then gets Hurraxanrana'd over the top ropes by AJ! AJ styles wins the International Championship!
Winner and New International Champion: AJ Styles
Post Match: Eddie re-enters the ring, shakes hands with AJ, and then turns to leave. Benoit re-enters the ring, and destroys both men with German suplexes and then leaves the ring to a loud chorus of boos...
Backstage Moment #2
AJ Styles is backstage, talking to some of the other SEA talent about how excited he is to be the International Champ. Christian spots him, walks over, grabs AJ by the shoulder, spins him around, and then slaps AJ right in the face! This action incenses the young champion and he lunges at Christian! Several wrestlers pull tham apart, just as Nicholas Price arrives on the scene! He tells both men that next week will see Christian vs AJ for the International Championship! Price goes on further to state that the first two falls of the match would normal falls and that if a thrid fall were necessary, then the match's third fall would become a Ladder Match! Both wtestlers storm off in the opposite direction, and Price himself heads off to the ring...
In Ring Segment:
Price walks out to the ring, enters, grabs a mic, and addresses the murmuring crowd...
Price: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have two more matches yet to come tonight. A four way elimination match for the Television Championship, and a Guantlet match for the Tag Team Championship featuring all the tag teams currently under contract to the SEA. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I have yet another brief announcement to make. The SEA is in need of leadership, a secondary leader under my guidance who will aid me in my day to day duties and responsibility as President of the SEA. I have a very reuptable man in mind for this job, so if you will, sir, come on out here!"
Before anything more can happen, a familiar refrain blares out over the speakers (sounds of a car crashing and such), and out walks **** Foley! Foley enters the ring, gets his own mic, and addresses Price and the fans in attendance...
Jim Ross: "OH MY GOD! It's Mrs. Foley's baby boy! **** Foley's in the house!"
Jessy Ventura:"What the hell is he doing here! **** should back home to his wife and children! This is ridiculous!"
Jim Ross: "Well, Jessy, he's here and we'd both better get used to it!"
**** Foley: First of all, let me say, it's a pleasure being here in the Rosemount Civic Center!" (The statement produces a cheap "pop" from the crowd, and a harsh reaction from "The Body")
Jessy Ventura:"What a cheap thing to do, this guy reminds me more and more of Hulk Hogan! Another glory hound attempting to steal the spotlight from Nicholas Price!"
Jim Ross: "I do believe, Jessy, that **** has more to say.."
**** Foley: On to the business at hand: The position you're crowing about is being Commissioner of the SEA, right?" (Nicholas nods affirmatively, and **** continues speaking) Well, Nicky boy, you're commissioner has arrived!
The statement causes the crowd to roar with cheers, but Price begins waving his hands to calm them down. Price then faces ****, and speaks his words very deliberately...
Nicholas Price: ****, ****, ****. What in the world would make you assume I was speaking of you? Truth be told, ****, I was actually thinking of someone else. So, will the real commissioner please come out!
The fans turn to the entranceway, and out walks Jeff Jarrett! He heads to the ring, enters, glares at Foley, grabs himself a mic and speaks to everyone in the arena...
Jarrett: Hey, Foley! Look at me when I'm talking to you. You really think you've got what it takes to run a show in this federation, well, I don't think so, sparky! I am the man with all the stroke around this federation, and I promise to make Turmoil a truly stellar show!
Foley laughs at Jarrett, and then attempts to answer Jarrett's challenge, but Jarrett has other ideas. Jarrett jumps the legendary superstar from behind and begins pumelling him! Foley fights back, but Jarrett drops him with an illegal low blow! Price tells Jarrett to back off and the SEA owner tends to the fallen Foley. Foley gets up slowly, and not knowing who hit him from behind, he drills the owner with a boot to the stomach and a double arm DDT! Jarrett uses this distraction to grab his guitar, and once he re-enters the ring, he smashes Foley over the head with it! Foley crumbles to the mat, as Jarrett exits the ring to head backstage...
Jim Ross: "OH MY GOD! What the hell did Jarrett do that for? That was totally uncalled for, damn it!"
Jessy Ventura:"Jim, you don't get it, Jarrett was just playing a tune! Ha, Ha, Ha,!"
Jim Ross: "Damn it, Jessy, it was disgusting, and I hope someday that Jarrett gets his!"
Match #3: Four Way Elimination Match for the Television Championship
Christian vs Raven vs Matt Hardy vs Kane
All four men walk to the ring, enter, and the bell rings to start the match. Kane and Christian start things off quickly. Christian tries a quick high impact frontface dropkick, but Kane blocks the move, and then drills Christian with a side suplex. Kane makes a sign that he's going to finish off Christian but as backs up towards the ropes, Raven slaps him and effectively tags himself in. Raven charges at Christian, but gets drilled with a clothesline. Christian scoops Raven up, attempts an Unprettier, but the move is reversed into The Raven Effect! Raven turns Christian over and covers, but only gets two (Christian drapes his foot over bottom rope and breaks the count). Raven slams Christian to the mat, climbs the turnbuckle, launches a flying bodysplash and gets two knees to his stomach as a response. Christian gets up, grabs Raven, plants him with an Unprettier, and scores the fall. Raven slowly gets to his feet, realizes that Christian has eliminated him, and drills Christian with The Raven Effect! Raven leaves to a thunderous applause. Kane re-enters the ring, grabs a dazed Christian, and chokeslams him to the mat! Kane covers Christian but at the two count, Matt stomps on Kane and breaks the count! Kane and Matt begin arguing about this, as the ref tries to separate them. Christian uses this moment to grab a steel chair, wallops Kane with it, and tosses it out of the ring! Christian then plants Kane with an Unprettier! 1..2..3! Kane is now eliminated! Matt enters the ring, and immediately stuns Christian with an enziguri! Matt whips Christian into the ropes, and catches him with a leaping front neckbreaker drop! Matt then loads the top rope, and nails a flying legdrop! The ref counts 1..2..Chrstian again manages to break the count with his leg on the ropes. Matt argues with the ref, and Christian grabs Matt, rolls him up, and almost wins the contest. Matt barely kicks out, but gets drilled with a boot to the midsection, and gets nailed with an Unprettier! Instead of pinning Matt, however, Christian uses the moment to showboat. AJ styles walks out to the entranceway, just as Christian turns to face that direction. Christian yells at AJ, and turns to exit the ring. The ref stops Christian from leaving, so Christian goes after Matt again. Christian goes for another Unprettier, but Matt reverses it into The Twist of Fate! Before Matt can fully execute the move, however, Christian pushes him backwards, colldiing into the referee! Christian pulls out a pair of brass knuckles, and blasts Matt with them! This draws AJ into the ring, and Christian rushes him! AJ ducks and then plants Christian with a Hurrancurrana! Christian staggers to his feet, and walks right into The Styles Clash! Styles revives the referee as Matt crawls over and covers Christian! Ref counts to three and we have a new Television Champion in Matt Hardy!
Winner: New Television Champion. Matt Hardy
Match Four: Gauntlet Match for the Tag Team Championships
Before this match can even begin, or any teams come to the ring, Price walks out to address the confused crowd...
Price: "I know that you were expecting a huge tag team match this week, but travel arrangements for the teams were mized up, and several of the teams are not here this evening. Therefore, I am moving the match to this Thursday Night's Turmoil, and it will be Turmoil's main event! Also, as a result of earlier actions, I am also announcing that at "Against All Odds" it will be Jeff Jarrett vs **** Foley and the winner will be commissioner (and booker) for Thursday's Turmoil! Thank you, and good night!"
Winner: None (Match is postponed three days)
Backstage Segment #3
HHH is pacing back and forth in his locker room, when the door suddenly opens, and in walks a man dressed in black gear from head to toe. It is impossible to make out who the man is, except to say that he's huge. HHH smiles at the man and then speaks to him:
HHH: Are you ready Big Man? Ready to help me climb back up the mountain and obtain the SEA Heavyweight Championship? (The man simply and quietly nods in agreement, which seems to make HHH even happier.) Remember what I told you. When you see the signal, you come down and help me out, ok? (Again, the man nods silently. HHH smiles broadly, slaps him on the back, and then exits the locker room. The mystery man simply turns and glares at the closed door as the program goes to commercial for the last time.)
Jim Ross: "What the hell is HHH up to now? Who is that huge man?"
Jessy Ventura:"Jimbo, I think that HHH has this next match all sown up!"
Jim Ross: "This stinks, Jessy, Damn it to Hell!"
Main Event: Winner Picks His Partner for the Tournament Match
HHH vs Chris Jericho
HHH comes out to a chorus of boos, enters the ring and waits for Jericho. Y2J walks down the rampway, slides into the ring, and the two men begin pounding on each other! The men trade offensive moves for twenty five minutes of solid action. HHH catches Y2J with a low blow, and fully swings the pendulum in his favor. HHH whips Y2J into the ropes and drills him with a thunderous spinebuster. HHH antagonizes the crowd, then scoops up Jericho, and gives him a jumping knee to the face! HHH sets up Jericho for the Pedigree but Jericho reverses it into The Walls of Jericho! HHH is just about to tap out when Jericho sees the mystery man saunter down to the ring. Jericho releases the hold, leaps onto the ropes, and then catches the msytery man with a high cross bodyblock! The man tumbles to the crowd, as Jericho rushes back into the ring. HHH seizes the moment and clips Y2J with a clothesline. HHH whips Y2J into the ropes, Y2J springs off the ropes, and catches HHH with a flying forearm smash. The move also sends HHH crashing into Earl Hebner. The mystery man enters the ring, grabs Jericho and plants him with a twisting side suplex! HHH gets to his feet, high-fives the big man, and then the two men proceed to pummel Y2J. Suddenly, The Rock's theme hits, and out runs The People's Champion!
Jim Ross: "OH MY GOD! IT'S THE ROCK!"
Jessy Ventura:"Damn it, Jim Ross, the last thing we need is him!!"
Rocky proceeds to destroy both HHH and the mystery man! Y2J gets to his feet, and drills HHH with an enziguri! Rock plants the mystery man with a spinebuster, and then drills HHH with a Rock Bottom! Jericho runs to the ropes, bounces off, and nails a Lionsault! Rock and the mystery man brawl outside the ring, as the ref makes the count inside the ring! 1..2..3! Y2J wins!
Post Match: Christian runs down and clips Y2J in the back of the head with a forearm shot. Rock enters and attacks Christian! The mystery man enters the ring, and drops The Rock with a double-ax handle! AJ comes out to the ring, but he and Y2J are just no match for the terrible threesome of HHH, Mr X and Christian! Before long, the evil trio are standing over the fallen bodies of The Rock, Y2J, and AJ Styles! HHH grabs a mic and addresses the loudly booing crowd...
HHH: You idiots are unbelievable! These fools fell due to my master plan, and you still cheer tham? Unreal. It doesn't really matter anymore, anyway! You see, there's a new superpower in the SEA. No, this isn't a rehash of Evolution. No, this is proof that there is only one way to succeed in this business, and that is that you dominate in and outside the ring.
Christian does that every single day of his life, I do that as well. As for my mysterious friend here, soon, with a little conditioning, he'll be doing it too. I know you're all wondering who he is. Well, let's find out!
HHH walks over to the mystery man, removes his mask, and reveals him to be...The Big Show! The fans boo even louder as the trio links hands, and raises them high above the fallen heroes, as the show comes to a close...
Jim Ross: "WHAT THE HELL! I don't believe it! Damn that HHH! He's just a rotten son of a bitch!"
Jessy Ventura:"Jim Ross, you just don't like the fact that your heroes didn't win the day! Admit it!!!"
Jim Ross: "You're damn right I don't! At any rate, I'm Jim Ross, and for Jessy Ventura and everyone else involved with Mayhem, thanks for watching, see you next week!"
