A/N: Hello, friends, this is your old pal again here with the return of the PRWA. Yes, your old friends are back in town for a second season of anger, torture, violence, mayhem, rivalry and much more. Hopefully I do the second season as much justice as my man Phil did the first.
A/N 2: Normally, the new year would be a time of celebration. But this new year is when the pain, torture, violence, thrill of victory, agony of defeat, everything that resembles a night mare is taken to a whole new level - welcome to your nightmare. The PRWA presents New Year's Nightmare, live from Chicago, Illinois on January 20, 2008, only on PPV.
A/N 3: With the belts even at 2 apiece (well, the Thunder Storm will have at least three at the end of the night because Jason cannot lose his belt in his match), the fifth title match of the evening is set. It's a Triple Threat match for the PRWA's InterGalactic Championship, featuring the champion, Leo Corbett, his brother Mike, and the challenger TJ who has been chasing Leo for the past few months
A/N 4: I do not own the PRWA, or anything related to Power Rangers. Nor do I own anyone who belongs to WWE such as The Rock and Michael Cole. Also, with regards to this chapter, I do not own the Chicago Blackhawks or anything relating to the NHL.
Chapter 11 - PRWA InterGalactic Championship
Bell Rings
As the bell rings, the two rivals who had started all of this, TJ and Leo, lock up in the center of the ring, as Mike just watches from the side. He watches TJ get the early advantage on his brother Mike as he nails Leo with right hands. This continues until Leo low blows TJ, then nails him with a headscissors takedown. Leo covers TJ but only gets a one count for his efforts, and the two are right back to even as TJ has recovered from his brief loss of sight. The two trade punches again, but again TJ gets the advantage as he hits Leo with a DDT. TJ covers Leo but only gets a two before Mike breaks up the count. Leo then hits an unsuspecting TJ from behind and covers him but Mike breaks that count up also.
TJ is now surrounded by both his rival and his rival's brother, but in an amazing display of strength, he clotheslines Mike into the ropes, then nails Leo with a belly to belly suplex. Again, TJ covers Leo but this time Leo kicks out himself. However, TJ now has the momentum and has the crowd on his side as the amazing display of strength had brought everyone out of their seats, including The Rock, who was laughing heartily over at the announce table over what TJ had just done.
TJ then bounces off the ropes and tries for an elbow drop, but Leo is waiting for him as he chokeslams TJ instead. Leo then applies a submission hold called the sharpshooter right in the middle of the ring. TJ is totally defenseless and has no way to get to the ropes, but luckily for him Mike breaks up his brother's hold. Leo is now livid with his brother - knowing he might have just lost a victory right there, and slaps Mike right across the face. Mike just laughs and gets an evil grin on his face, ala Stone Cold Steve Austin, which makes Leo gulp.
Leo then goes out of the ring to try to escape the wrath of his brother, but his brother eventually catches up with him, slams him into the barrier, then picks him up and gets him in a fireman's carry. After that, he throws Leo against the turnbuckle and gets back in the ring. Mike then goes to the top rope and nails his finisher, a top rope leg drop he calls the Magna Leg Drop. Mike covers Leo but Leo kicks out just before three.
Mike then shoves his brother right into the ropes - unknowingly for Mike, this is where TJ is standing, simply watching the action, and this knocks TJ to the mat and gets TJ pissed off. An unholy light shines in TJ's eyes as he starts delivering vicious right hands to Leo's brother. TJ then nails Mike with a facebuster, then shouts, "That's for shoving your brother right into me!" TJ then lifts Mike up and hits him with his own finisher, an elevated powerbomb TJ calls the Red Lightning. TJ covers Mike but Leo breaks up the pinfall just before three, which now gets TJ pissed at Leo - which didn't take much at any rate.
TJ and Leo exchange rights and lefts but Leo gains the advantage as he deliberately trips TJ, and then hits TJ with a neckbreaker though it wasn't his finisher. Leo covers TJ but TJ easily kicks out. Leo then does go for his finisher, a swinging neckbreaker bomb called the Lion Breaker, but TJ reverses this into a DDT. Now it's TJ's turn to apply a submission hold and this time it's an elevated Boston crab that he has Leo locked into. He has the crab locked in tight and Leo has no way to get to the ropes and appears ready to tap at any second TJ appears to have the win in his grasp but suddenly Mike, still looking for his title, breaks up the submission hold.
However, this matters not to TJ as he continues to wear Leo down, putting him in a sleeper hold this time. Leo doesn't tap but when TJ finally breaks the hold Leo is greatly weakened and is ripe for the picking. TJ then delivers countless right hands on Leo as Leo has positively no way to defend himself. Unfortunately for TJ, he knocked out his own referee while doing this and this would prove to be costly as TJ hit the Red Lightning again, and covered but unfortunately there was no referee to count the pinfall, forcing TJ to break the pin.
Leo's fighting back with everything he's got, but TJ is able to continue his assault as Leo is greatly weakened by what TJ had done earlier in the match. Leo even tries to rake TJ in the eyes, but TJ saw that coming and ducked his head, then hits Leo with an elbow drop. Then, all of a sudden, here comes Mike from behind with the PRWA IG Championship belt, which had been lost when Kennedy had inadvertently been knocked out by TJ.
Mike appears to make a beeline towards his brother to finish him with the belt, but to the shock of the crowd, hits TJ with the PRWA IG championship belt, and in the process shoves him towards Leo, who then hits TJ with his finisher, the Lion Breaker.
Announce Table
"Oh my God, Cole! Oh my God!" The Rock shouts. "I can't believe it! This is Survivor Series 2001 all over again, Mike coming to his brother's aid!"
"The count!" Cole shouts as Kennedy does indeed count the 1-2-3, and the victory for Leo.
"Leo retains the title!" The Rock shouts. "The Rock can't believe it!"
In the Ring
"The winner of this match, and STILL PRWA InterGalactic Champion, LEO CORBETT!" HBK shouts as Kennedy raises Leo's arm in victory as he retains the title once more, to the shock and dismay of the crowd in Chicago. Leo then walks over to Mike and speaks to him, as if to say, "Thanks brother, I'm proud of you."
"Did you really think I was going to let those goody-two-shoes win four belts on the evening? Not a chance in hell, my man," Mike said.
The two then walk, as brothers, backstage, all the while sneering at TJ as he was left in the ring, stunned, before Kat comes up and gives him a hug.
Announce Table
"Well, Rock," Michael Cole said, as he turned to his color commentator, also called The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment, "that brought back memories of Survivor Series 2001, which is when the WWF finally wiped the Alliance of ECW and WCW off the face of the planet. You were in that match when it happened, and let's take a look at the replay just now."
"Ah yes, Michael Cole, let's take a look at some REPLAY!" The Rock said. "The Rock thought that Mike Corbett was going to make a beeline towards his brother to finish him but instead he shockingly hits TJ with the belt, and Leo finishes him off easily. And look at the look on TJ Johnson's face, he cannot believe it! And it does remind The Rock of when Kurt Angle, the Olympic hero, finally did help the WWF destroy the Alliance for good."
Right now, Zordon's got an announcement, and let's go to him for that," Michael Cole said.
PRWA Main Office
"Hello, everyone, I hope you're enjoying the show, and yes, Rock, I do have an announcement. Several, in fact," Zordon said. "The first is as follows. After seeing what has happened here tonight, I have decided that there will be an eight-man tournament to determine who will face Leo for the PRWA InterGalactic championship at Wedding Night, to be held February 24th in Anaheim. This tournament will begin at this coming PRWA Weekly on Wednesday in Minneapolis, with the quarterfinals featuring the following pairings. TJ vs. Frax, Mike vs. Ryan, Wes to face Conner, and Cole against Scorpius."
"Also," Zordon said, "since it wasn't up for grabs at the last RangerMania, I am putting it up for grabs at Wedding Night - it is the return of the MONEY IN THE BANK match!"
This got a huge roar from the crowd, as well as some eyebrows in some of the PRWA locker rooms. They were all well aware that if any of them were selected for the match, and won it, then they could potentially parlay that win into a title shot at RangerMania III, which would be held in San Antonio in July.
"Remember, fans," Zordon said, "that the winner of the MITB match can parlay that win into a title shot at any point within the next year. The participants of the Money in the Bank match will be announced at Wedding Night, so stay tuned."
I also have one more announcement," Zordon said. "As you all know, should Gasket win tonight he will face Jason for the PRWA Championship next month. However, should he lose, there will be a PRWA Championship Battle Royal next month in Anaheim to determine who will be the number one contender for our March pay-per-view. Now, let's get back to the action."
In the Ring
As we move back into the ring, the arena fills with anticipation as the Main Event was about to begin...a main event which could determine a number one contender for the PRWA title.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, AND IS YOUR PRWA MAIN EVENT!" HBK shouted. "This is a non title match in which the challenger must win to earn a shot at the title at the next pay-per-view."
The arena then erupts with boos as "Under My Wheels" by Alice Cooper signals the arrival of the man who could earn a #1 contender spot with a win.
"Introducing first, from the Steel City, PRINCE GASKET!" HBK shouts as Gasket heads to the ring looking for a shot at the championship next month.
And then "Bad Religion" by Godsmack, and here comes the sound of a motorcycle as the PRWA champion, and one of the overwhelming favorite entertainers in the company is coming down the ramp on his motorcycle to a thunderous ovation.
"And his opponent, from Angel Grove, California, he is the First Red Ranger and THE PRWA CHAMPION, JASON SCOTT!" HBK shouts as Jason comes off his bike fired up, still looking for a measure of revenge after what happened to Andros earlier.
Kennedy then steps out of the ring, as there is yet another special guest ref on this night.
And then "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage begins and the crowd erupts once more, this time for a hometown hero, who was coming out in a Jonathan Toews Chicago Blackhawks jersey.
"And introducing the special guest referee for this main event, representing WWE, he is the ECW CHAMPION AND CHICAGO'S VERY OWN, CM PUNK!" HBK shouts as Punk comes out to a thunderous ovation and does his poses for the crowd. When he is finished with that, he goes over the rules and calls for the bell.
