July 29, 2001

Visions of war open up on the screen as tanks, jets, explosions, and casualties make up the barrage of music as "Riders of Doom" plays in the back ground. The screen fuzzes out as a bomb hits and shots of the IHWA/Elite feud is showcased. We HYPE the hell out of it as we cut right to the fireworks and usual madness....WELCOME TO THE HIGH STAKES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...THE WARGAMES!!!!

We go to VP Young and Jon Anderson as they run down the matches and discuss the rules of Wargames. Two rings and one cage....four men on each team. Two guys go in for a five minute mark and then a coin toss will decide what team will get to go in next. After that one man will go in for the team who won the coin toss. A 2 mintue period will start and when it is done the other teams member will go in. And when ALL 8 men are in the ring WARGAMES will officially being. The man who submits or gets knocked out will lose it for his team.

We go to the back where a limo pulls up and VP Sloan walks out on a cell phone, and seems to be in a deep conversation. He is talking about money and contracts when ASYLUM runs up and grabs him by the collar.

Asylum: I TOLD you Sloany...tonight is the night that we will see the REBIRTH of the COBRA I know.

He grabs Sloan and drags him by the collar as we go to the ring. Madness is already ensuing here tonight.

Next the music changes to "Tribe" by Soulfly… The Brazilian superstar, Wind, makes his way to the ring to a nice reception as well… he slides in and moves to a different corner and starts to warm up. The opening strain of Black Sabbath’s "Iron Man" comes on and the fans go nut… Jay Miller comes out in a Deep Impact t-shirt and makes his way to the ring.

WARGAMES

Team IHWA vs Team Elite

The cage lowers from the ceiling as the fans go wild while sparklers and other fireworks nearly blow up the place. The music of the Elite powers over the speakers as Rufus, Fury, Steven Slack, and Wicked D walk out with nothing but a no nonsense look in their eye. Each man checks the cage as they walk by it. They gather in a huddle on one side of the cage as they plot. The fans stand on their feet as "Bad to the Bone" begins to play. They lose their damn minds as Alec Diablo, Ryan Fischer, Mad Dragon, and the WORLD CHAMP Gargoyle walk out. They look serious as hell as they eye up the cage and then the Elite. The bell rings and the rules are explained as Rufus goes in for the Elite and Alec Diablo for the IHWA. An "IHWA" chant rises as AD gets the crowd behind him. They lock up as the door is shut and the five minutes goes on the clock. Rufus and AD lock horns as Rufus backs him into the corner and wastes no movement and pounds away on AD. He hammers the chest of AD and sends him into the opposite corner. He goes for a splash but AD moves and clotheslines him. Rufus is on the mat as AD jumps on him and rams his head off the mat. The fans are going berserk as the IHWA team yells on encouragement. Rufus gets up and rakes the eyes. He scoop slams AD and bounces off the ropes. He misses a elbow and AD capitalizes. He swings Rufus around and hits a Downward Spiral. He grabs Rufus and SENDS HIM INTO the cage face first. Rufus bounces off with some scratches on his forehead. I bet that will be the first of many for tonight. 2 minutes left on the clock. AD slams Rufus and climbs up to the top. The roof on the cage doesn't allow you to do too much because it is so low, but AD grabs the top of the cage and SWINGS off of it into a leg drop. His momentum made it a heavier blow to the neck of Rufus. He scoops up Rufus and puts him upside down.....he runs and connects with a tree of woe knee to the gut and face. He then BASEBALL slides right into Rufus's face. Rufus's legs drop like weights out of the corner as AD drags him into the middle of the ring...FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME ON RUFUS!!! He lays there on the mat as AD untapes his fist and strangles Rufus with it. The ref is about to do the coin toss now to see who goes in next..........it's heads...THE ELITE WIN THE TOSS!!! Their man will go in next.....

5...4...3...2...1.....the buzzer goes off....

Here comes Superstar Steven Slack. He jumps in the ring and AD meets him in the other ring. He is all over SS. He tosses SS to the ropes and catches him with a spinebuster. He pounds away on Slack and then scoop slams him. AD whips Slack into the ropes, but SS reverses and ducks....AD hops over SS and is GORED GORED GORED BY RUFUS!!!! I think his spine and navel touched on that one. Rufus picks up AD and chucks him like a spear into the cage. AD falls down and his face grates against the cage. Slack gets up and drags him out. They DOUBLE spear him against the cage. They tossed him like a bag of crap. They lift him up and deliver a DOUBLE powerbomb. AD is getting manhandled. The 2 minutes is almost up. OHHH a Supernova on AD. SS sets AD up as Rufus hits the Final Standing on AD. AD is being destroyed in that ring. But the odds are about to be even...

5...4...3...2..1......

Here comes MAD DRAGON!!! The fans light up as MD rushes in the ring and attacks both Slack and Rufus. Rufus goes for a Gore but Dragon catches him with a superkick instead. Slack rushes Dragon and MD gorilla presses him and tosses him into the cage. He is over Slack and busts his head with rights and rights and rights and rights and rights and rights. Slack gets up and falls down with that Ric Flair fall. Rufus rolls into the other ring where Dragon runs and HIGH CROSS BODIES OVER INTO THE OTHER RING!!!!! That was incredible. He tosses Rufus to the ropes and hits a flying scissor kick to the face. Rufus falls back and is tied into the ropes. SS is about to sneak from behind when AD grabs him and STUNS him!!! Both men fall as Dragon opens up on Rufus with a taped right hand. He unties Rufus and rakes his face against the cage. He does it over and over as Rufus is the first to bleed. He picks Rufus up and DROPS him with 3 German suplexes ala Chris Benoit. Dragon goes in the other ring and picks up Slack.....powerslam into a piledriver. Slack is hurt as Dragon grabs him by his leg and hits a DRAGONSCREW LEG WHIP!!! Slack looked as if he landed wrong on that one. Dragon smells blood as he slaps on a figure four. Slack is howling in pain right now. AD gets up and goes over to beat up on Rufus...but now time is out again...

5...4...3..2...1

Here comes WICKED D. He gets in the ring WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! MD still has SS in the figure four but WD SLAMS the chair over his head as MD's head just drops. He goes over and hits Alec Diablo from behind and sets him on the top rope.....BLESSED ARE THE WICKED ONTO THE CHAIR!!! AD is in serious pain as WD picks him up and drops him with an inverted DDT. SS gets up and slaps MD in a Texas Cloverleaf while WD taunts him and stomps on his head. They pick Dragon up and..... THHHRREEEEEEEE....3D ON DRAGON!!! They grab MD and RAM him off the cage back and forth as he starts to trickle blood. SS holds Dragon as WD gets the chair........BAM...he WRAPPED the chair around Dragons head. Dragon falls like a log as Rufus gets PILEDRIVEN by a determined Alec Diablo. AD climbs through the ropes but a CHAIR SHOT takes his head off. WD grabs Dragon and hits his other finisher off the second turnbuckle. Slack spits on Diablo and watches as the chair shot opened him up. Here comes WD who hits a spinning neck breaker on AD.

5...4..3...2..1.

Gargoyle RUNS in the ring and decapitates everyone. The world champ is a house of fire as he drops everyone with lefts and rights. Gargs hits a Fall from Grace on Slack and then grabs the chair from WD. He swings and knocks out Rufus and Slack… Gargs rushes and drops Rufus with another chair shot. He picks up Rufus and just wails into him. He hits a belly to belly into the cage while Dragon puts Wicked D in the NO CURE FOR MADNESS!!! D is tapping on the mat but can only win when the whole thing can start. Diablo gets up and attacks Slack. The world champ is pounding Rufus into the cage while MD still has the No Cure on. Slack and AD are going at it tooth and nail as the fans just love each and every second of this. Everyone is a bloody mess except for the champ.

5..4..3...2..1

Fury runs in next but Gargs spears him. He catches him off guard but Fury low blows him. Fury super kicks him in the face as Gargs falls back into the ropes and the cage. Fury takes the chair and BEATS Gargs with it as he bounces off the cage and the ropes. Dragon and Wicked D are still going at it while Slack and Rufus beat up on AD. AD and Rufus have to be tired.. they were the first ones in the ring. OHHHH!!! Spike piledriver on AD. AD seems lifeless as Rufus falls and catches his breath. Blood is stained on every mans face except Fury and Gargs who are both fresh.

5...4...3..2...1

Here comes Ryan Fischer as WARGAMES has begun. RF cleans house as he drops everyone then SPEARS Slack into a corner. He proceeds to stomping the hell out of Slack. Wicked D sling shots Dragon into the cage and Gargoyle chair shots Fury in the back where he hits a Fall from Grace. Fischer is manhandling Slack while WD pounds away on Mad Dragon. Diablo and Rufus lay on the mat while Gargoyle stomps away at Fury. Vicious chops by MD which find their mark on WD's chest. He headbutts WD and climbs to the top. He DIAMOND CUTS WD while coming off the top rope. Dragon slaps on a Dragon Sleeper and goes for the win. Rufus kicks him from behind and hits a belly to back suplex. Ryan Fischer has a bloody Slack in the SHARPSHOOTER!!! Will he tap??? Look at the blood just run off of Slacks face. Gargs picks up the chair but Fury hits a Van-Damninator and crushes the head of Gargoyle. RF lets go of the hold and grabs Fury from behind and DROPS him with a inverted DDT/backbreaker. Slack gets up and grabs the chair...OHHHH he cracks Fischer in the back of the head. Fischer falls like a brick as Slack lifts him up....SUPERNOVA ON FISCHER!!! We have Gargs down, Fury down, and Slack and RF down in one ring and Dragon, AD, Rufus, and Wicked D battling it out in another. The fans are hyped as hell as Gargoyle climbs to the top and grabs the top of the cage. He climbs out to the center and hangs there a bit waiting to drop on someone....Slack reaches up and holds his ankles and Fury just WAILS GARGOYLE WITH A CHAIR!!! Gargs falls down and lands on his NECK!!! Ohh that looked nasty as his feet are over his head. I think gargoyle is hurt because he is not moving. MD hits a Tornado DDT on Rufus while AD gets leg dropped by Wicked D. Fury tells Slack to get Fischer out of the ring. Slack grabs RF and hits ANOTHER SUPERNOVA!!! Fury slaps the half-conscious gargoyle in a camel clutch. WD slides in and grabs that chair...and backs up and swings...OHHHha just connected with Gargoyles face. Blood seeps out of the mask as Fischer grabs him from behind and drops Wicked D with a sleeper drop. But the damage has been done. The refs run in the ring and raise his hands....1.......Gargs is out cold.....2.........3. The bell rings...IT'S OVER!!! The Elite have done it.

Winners: Team Elite

After that nasty spill I think Gargoyle was out on his feet. If he wasn't then, then he was after that chair shot from Wicked D. The cage rises as the fans boo, but can't help but like the match they just saw. All 8 men are on the mat trying to get their brains back together as Dragon checks on Gargs.

BUT WHO IS THIS??? Two masked men dressed in black run in the ring with pipes and BEAT the hell out of BOTH Team IHWA and the Elite. These guys in black are beating everyone with those pipes. These guys are tired they can't get up from the beating they just gave each other. WHAM...Oh man Fischer is out...WHAm...down goes Fury...down goes Wicked...Down goes Dragon, AD, and Gargs is still down. They see Slack and pick him up.....one of them men swings back.....AND DROPS THE PIPE???? WHAT THE HELL?? THEY HAVE JUST HUGGED SUPERSTAR STEVEN SLACK!!!! They take off the masks.....OH NOO....IT'S HOLLYWOOD AND VINE...WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE????!!!!

High fives all around...wait a second those jackasses have a microphone...

Hollywood: Welcome to another Hollywood and Vine Production!!

Vine: And this one totally rocked the party that rocks the body!

Hollywood: Totally!

Slack: What you have just witnessed is the newest player in this little Stable war...The Gold Standard!

Hollywood: "Why are you The Gold Standard?" some of you spastic goonoids may ask. Because quite frankly, we are absolutely GOLDEN.

Slack: And the standard we set is what everyone here in the IHWA and anywhere and everywhere else has to live up to...but just can't seem to do it!

Vine: More importantly, we just showed the IHWA AND The Elite, who the new big money playas are!

Hollywood: Big money playas?

Vine: Yeah, like you know...a franchise player....like...Joe Montana!

Hollywood: Joe Montana rules!

Slack: So watch this tape time and time again IHWA.... Elite.... fans....and know what has just been set in motion. The first scene of a Hollywood and Vine Production.

Vine: Unfortunately this one isn't about glitz and glamour....

Hollywood: It's more Action-based...And we're soooo not talking about Mike!

Slack: In fact, some of you may even say it's a horror film! But whatever the genre, the only thing that's for sure is that it won't be a happy ending for the IHWA OR the Elite.... Like it.... OR LOVE IT!

Vine: Sorry to knock all you guys out but hopefully while you're off in la-la land you're having totally righteous champagne wishes...

Hollywood: And caviar dreams!

Fade to black…
