Insomnia opens inside The Family’s locker room where we see all the members of the Family along with Iris and Shipman. They are in the middle of discussions about the tournament and other Family issues.
Fang: Don’t worry Shane. With Bill putting a beating on the other guys, it is guaranteed me and you will finally face for that shiny strap on your shoulder.
West: It’d be great to get some real competition for once. Lately it has been more challenging to watch paint dry then it is to defend my championship.
Goth: I knew when I setup this tournament it would be my dear brother and my greatest champion ever at Surf & Slam.
Bill Barnhart: Don’t forget that that are both part of the greatest faction ever.
Fang: Hell, I’ll drink to that just for the sake of drinking. Shipman… go get my whiskey.
Shipman grumbles but saunters off. The camera follows him to a liquor cabinet in the room. He pulls down a big bottle of Jack Daniels and opens it up. He takes a few big swigs and pulls a bottle out of his pocket. The label clearly reads “Ex-Lax”. Shipman looks over his shoulder to make sure no one is watching. Once he sees the coast is clear, he pours enough in to refill the bottle. He puts the cap back on and gives it a quick shake. He slips the bottle of laxative back into his pocket and walks back over to the Family.
Fang: Damn, took you long enough.
Shipman: Sorry won’t happen again.
Shipman hands the whiskey to Fang who opens it and raises it high in the air.
Fang: To The Family.
Fang takes a big swig and passes it to Shane West.
West: You know me, no drinks on game night.
West passes the bottle to Thirteen who takes a big swig and passes to Goth who does the same. He then passes it to Bulldog.
Bill Barnhart: I much rather some classic coke. But Iris is an old booze hound.
Barnhart pours some whiskey into a dish for Iris who laps it up like it was nothing. He then passes the bottle to Fang who looks at Shipman.
Fang: Here Chris, you have some too. I admit we have been kind of hard on you lately. SO here, consider this the olive branch, and a token of good luck for tonight.
Shipman reluctantly takes the bottle and puts it to his lips. He keeps his lips shut tightly as he tilts the bottle up. Booze begins pouring out the sides of the nozzle since it isn’t going into his mouth. Fang grabs the bottle from Shipman.
Fang: God damn it, you idiot. Now go clean that up and then I am going to kick your ass in that ring tonight.
Shipman leaves the room to get cleaning supplies and the Family go back to talking as the camera cuts to a commercial.
The show comes back from a commercial where we see Goth sitting down with one half of the AWA tag team champions Thomas Evans as he is holding on to the tag team championship belts
Thomas: So you wanted me to come in your office and discuss the tag title situation? Give me a tag team partner and I’ll be tag team champion forever man!
Goth grins as he shakes his head and nods no to the champion
Goth: No I got a better idea Thomas, you see I see potential in you. Something I don’t see in a deadbeat idiot like Anthony Phoenix. And the way I see it, I want him to lose that belt and lose it to the next best thing that this company has to offer. Now this match you two were supposed to have got cancelled beyond my reach, but I got a better idea. Why don’t you and Mr. I’m a champion around here have a match at Breakout for that belt? It would be a great night for me to watch someone deservingly take that title away from him
Thomas: So you want me to drop the belts?
Goth: Listen, the way things are going is simple. The number of our roster cannot support a great tag team division. Now I can send you two deadbeats to defend the belts against. But I know you rely upon yourself to get the job done right? So I’m telling you, to get the job done!! Deal??
Thomas Evans grins as he nods his head in approval
Thomas: Deal
We go to commercial for the up and coming Breakout
Backstage Rupert Vaughn is leading his caged beast Twister to ringside when he stops to the sound of “Unforgiven” by Metallica chirping in his pocket. He picks up and begins to speak.
Rupert Vaughn: Yes this is he… right now, but Twister has a match comi… this is perfect. I’ll lead him out then go to the meeting with Goth. She doesn’t stand a chance. Thank you very much. Good day.
Rupert Vaughn carries on laughing as the scene goes back to the ringside area.
Tex: As you may know, Rupert Vaughn currently has a score to settle with Foxxy Dreams, that’s GOT to be who he’s talking about.
Duff: But Goth has a sweet spot for the ladies in his company… in his pants!!! Ha ha… he’ll never do anything to jeopardize their job.
Tex: Well we’ll see about that later on, as for now lets take it to Stormy Canyon for this match’s introductions. Stormy…
Twister vs. John Thomas vs. Cryptic Disturbance
The camera's come back on in the Insomnia Arena, where Stormy Canyon is in the ring. Smiling, she raises a microphone to her lips, and begins speaking.
Stormy: Ladies and Gentleman, it is time for our first match of the night! Introducing first... weighing in at 225 lbs he is debuting tonight for AWA- he is the International Bad Boy... John... THOOOOOMAS!
Undone by:Korn blares over the PA System and out walks "The International Bad Boy" John Thomas dressed in his orignal Attire he slowly walks to the ring smirking at the fans as the boo him..he walks up the steps and climbs into the ring walking over and climbing the turnbuckles and raising both arms in the air as the cameras flash. He walks to a corner and waits for the next introduction.
Stormy: Introducing next- one of his opponents, also making his AWA Insomnia debut... from "Parts Unknown"...
Tex: Isn't that near Dudleyville, USA?
Duff: Shut up Tex.
Stormy: He is... Cryptic....DISTURRRRRRRBANCE!
”Hero” by Skillet begins to blast throughout the arena and just as they begin to sing, up out of the stage, you see a man rising and sparks start to fly all around him. When he gets to the top you all see it is Cryptic Disturbance. He has the first and only RWF World Heavyweight Championship hanging over his shoulders as he slowly begins to look out over the crowd and the fans jump to their feet as the flashes from the camera’s begin to get faster. The crew members of the AWA begin to unroll a red carpet all the way to the ring. On the second verse Cryptic begins to walk to the ring as above the ring a dim light appears and looks like someone is smiling down on Cryptic. He drops to his knee and places the title in front of him as he bows his head and prays. Then he stands back to his feet and puts the title over his should as he continues down to the ring. He looks out over the energized crowd as he climbs the steps. When he gets to the top of the steps he extends his arms out to his side and then he pulls them up toward the sky. As he pulls his arms up toward the sky, the lights in the arena come on revealing Cryptic’s face paint. It is a mixture of white with black outlines. He stares at the International Bad Boy, but remains in his corner.
Stormy: Finally...introducing last-
Rupert: NO! YOU do not introduce my beast.
The curtains open and Rupert Vaughn enters wearing a Gucci suit and he walks down to the ring and takes the microphone from Stormy who looks shocked. He stands sneering at her, and points her out of the ring.
Rupert Vaughn: Ladies and Gentlemen... allow me to introduce to you...the CHAMPION of my legion, A MODERN DAY GLADIATOR... MY BEAST!
"Unforgiven" by Metallica plays as the lights turn a dim blue. A team of druids wearing black robes push out a cage with a chained man wearing a white robe sitting indian style in the center of it, Twister. They get to ringside and Vaughn unlocks the cage and Twister calmly exits the cage and enters the ring with Vaughn. Twister extends his hands forward as Vaughn unlocks his chains and hands it to a druid outside the ring. He then helps Twister remove his robe and hands it to a different druid.
Rupert Vaughn exits the ring as the referee for this match, Chocolate chip Long starts us off. John Thomas immediately rushes Twister who sidesteps him and throws him over the top rope, and the rookie crashes hard on the outside. Cryptic Disturbance takes advantage of this, and kicks Twister from behind. Twister stumbles forward holding the back of his leg that was kicked. Cryptic Disturbance follows it up with another kick, and another, before dropkicking the big man in the back, sending him stumbling into the ropes. Twister is gathering himself as JT on the outside jumps up grabbing his head, and hotshots him across the top rope. Twister falls backwards and lands on the mat, and Disturbance follows it up with a Splash and attempts an early pinfall. Jt slides into the ring and breaks the count with a quick elbow. Twister now gets on his feet, and Rupert Vaughn is on the outside screaming at him. Twister grabs JT and Irish whips him to the ropes. Cryptic Disturbance gets to his feet behind Twister, just as Twister back body drops JT over his head. Cryptic Disturbance see's JT coming and catches him, slamming him HARD to the mat in a powerbomb.
Tex: Did you hear that impact?
Duff: I think the International BAD Boy may become the International BED RIDDEN boy!
Twister grabs Cryptic Disturbance and tries to lift him but Disturbance shifts out of the grip, and throws Twister over the top rope. Twister lands on the apron on his back and lays their momentarily to catch his breath. Cryptic immediately goes for the cover on JT while Twister recovers, but Twister spots the pin attempt and immediately rolls back into the ring and kicks Disturbance in the ribs to break the attempt. Grabbing Disturbance, he lifts him off his feet, and begins to unload a series of punches on the superstar in facepaint. He goes for another right hand but Disturbance reverses it into a standing armbar. Twister reaches and grabs hold of a rope, and the referee makes Disturbance break the hold. Disturbance does so, and backs across the ring. JT is still laying unmoving in the center of the ring and Twister and Disturbance eye each other. Disturbance rushes Twister, who attempts to clothesline him, and Disturbance ducks under it, hitting the ropes and coming off in a lou thesz press. He starts unloading with right hands, but Twister shows his power, throwing Disturbance off of him, and Disturbance rolls out of the ring. Twister gets to his feet, and JT is now starting to stir. He fights to a knee, and Twister hits the ropes and as JT gets to his feet he gets planted with a Brogue kick. He goes for a cover, while staring at Disturbance, who rolls back into the ring. immediately, Twister gets to his feet breaking his pin attempt and goes after Disturbance. He grabs him, lifting him high into the air, and throws him into the corner. Disturbance hits the turnbuckle, and Twister doesn't let up his attack throwing a series of elbows into Disturbance in the corner. Disturbance slumps in the corner, and Twister crosses the ring, and drawing the roar of the crowd, lifts his fist in the air. He charges back in, looking to clothesline the rhyming opponent, who leaps up and delivers two boots to Twisters face, Twister stumbles back shaking the loose cobwebs, and rushes back in to try the clothesline again, and this time Disturbance dives out of the way, and Twister hits the turnbuckle sternum first. Disturbance backs and runs, hitting a stinger splash, splashing Twister into the turnbuckle, and Disturbance turns back towards JT who has got to his feet. He clotheslines disturbance, clotheslines Twister, and stands in the center of the ring arms raised. Twister is slumped in one corner, Disturbance the other. JT goes after Disturbance, who hits him with a snake eyes, and gets up onto the turnbuckle. He lifts JT up, and hits the "Angelic Drop" and the International Bad Boy is down. Disturbance turns around to check on Twister, who hits a spinebuster, squishing Disturbance to the mat, and dives ontop of JT. Long counts the pinfall- 1! 2! 3!
Twister stands alone in the middle of the ring and all of the people who walked him out to ringside are gone, including Rupert Vaughn. He looks as though he realized something as he notices Cryptic Disturbance reaching for something he seems to have dropped in the ring. Twister grabs Disturbance by the arm and drags him into the ring. He grabs him from behind and locks on “Human Shackles, a crossface chicken wing while he yells primal screams throughout the arena.
Twister lets go of the move then hits Disturbance with the Wasted Freedom sitdown powerbomb as he marches out of the ring and out the ringside area.. .
Tex: Twister has snapped. Someone get a medic down here for Cryptic Disturbance, he isn’t moving…
Duff: Someone get a camera crew to follow Twister, he’s on a mission and I for one want to know what it is. Go Go GO!!.
A Camera finds Twister walking down the hallway and approaching a Druid. He runs full speed and hits him with a lariat clothesline. He continues forward as a camera from inside Goth’s office fills the screen.
It’s Rupert Vaughn standing on the opposite side of the desk that Goth is sitting at handing Goth an envelope.
Goth opens the envelope and laughs as he closes it.
: Goth: Foxxy who? HAHAHAHA!
The two men stand there laughing shaking hands as the door of the office gets blown off the hinges and a Druid goes flying through it. Twister stomps in and Goth immediately gets up.
Goth: Tsk, tsk, tsk. I forbid violence in my office, don’t make me have t take matters in my own hands. Well, now Rupert, if I take out the cost of the door from this check I’m going to need a little more money to be convinced to fire Foxxy Dreams.
Twister: NO! Don’t fire her.
Rupert Vaughn: I demand that VIXEN be terminated.
Goth: Well I already DID make a promise, and I AM a man of my word. So…
Twister: Wait, I have an idea. How about this? You put me in a match next week, if I win Foxxy keeps her job. And If I lose you can fire her. What d’ ya say?
Goth: Nah, it doesn’t benefit ME enough. How about THIS? If you LOSE… when you lose… We fire Foxxy AND I get your contract… your debt becomes owed to ME, and I become your MASTER!
Twister: Deal!
The two men shake hands as Rupert Vaughn tries to break the handshake rather unsuccessfully.
Rupert Vaughn: NO!!! That’s not what I wanted, We had a deal, Goth!
Deal is off, and you STILL owe me for that door. This deal is SO much sweeter for me. Now get out of my office, I’ll choose a match fitting for our arrangement soon. Goodbye!
Rupert Vaughn storms out of the room as Twister quietly leaves with a satisfied smirk on his face.
Fang(3p) vs. Chris Shipman(2p)
Stormy: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it will be a Universal Title Qualifying match!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6�0 and weighs in at 220 pounds!! Hailing from Long Pond, PA!!! FANG!!!
The arean goes dark, fog hits the entrance as red light fills the fog. Seven Days of the Wolves by Nightwish cues up and the fans begin to boo. On the titantron a big quill pen and a piece of black paper appear. The Pen looks as if it's writing something and then the paper turns and in large cursive red letters is the name Fang. Then under that the phrase "Sign your name on the line and your soul is mine" Fang walks out of the fog wearing a suit and tie and carrying with him a rolled up piece of black paper in his right hand. He makes his way to the ring ,as the lights come back up, and he looks around at the crowd. He holds up the paper and mouths "YOU ALL WANT SOMETHING" and then he rubs his fingers together "IT'S GOING TO COST YOU". He waits for his opponent looking our at the crowd and taunting them. While he waits he also takes off his suit jacket and hands it to a ring attendant. he loosens his collar and rolls up the sleeves on his dress shirt.
Stormy: And his opponent!! Standing in at 6�3 and weighing in at 235 pounds!! Hailing from The Georgian Backwoods!!! The Reverend!! Chris Shipman!!!!
The opening piano to Sweet Dreams begins to play all over the arena as the lights turn to a cloudy red. Once the song kicks in Shipman appears from behind the curtain as the stage has bright red strobe lights going off. He walks to the ring with Synn following close behind. Once he gets in the ring he holds the barbed wire noose above his head before throwing it into a corner. He taunts the crowd a bit as the lights go back to normal and Synn grabs the noose.
Tex: Here we go!!!!
The bell rings and both men charge at each other with blood thirst in their eyes, both men are trading blows with each other as Fang takes charge and slugs hard at his opponent. Kicking him in the midsection before sending over the top rope with a clothesline. Fang follows Shipman to the outside where Shipman catches Fang as he leaps from the apron and plants him hard against the steel ring post. Shipman turns around as he is staring at the fans who are cheering him on. He has a sickening smile on his face before he turns his attention to Fang. He goes for an Irish Whip and whips him into the security railing before he clotheslines him to the audience. He climbs the security railing and jumps off for a leg drop, but Fang rolls out of the way and that causes Shipman to hit the concrete floor hard. Fang slowly gets up and starts to pound away on Shipman as we suddenly hear the ring bell as the referee has called for the bell.
Tex: Lat week it was the masked wrestler, now it�s a double count out???
Stormy: the result of this match has ended up in a double count out. This causes both men not to score any single point!!!
Winner: Double Count out
The cameras cut backstage and sees Bill Barnhart and Iris leaving their locker room on their way to the ring for his match. Right outside the door Iris begins to whimper a bit which is concerning Bill.
Bill Barnhart: What’s wrong gir….
Before Bill can finish, Iris starts spraying pure liquid diarrhea all over Bill’s boots. Bill jumps back a bit startled by the accident but quickly regains his composure.
Bill Barnhart: That’s it, no more booze for you.
Just when Iris seems to be done she unleashes another doggy-doo tsunami. People are walking by and gagging at the smell and one AWA office boy walking backstage snickers. Bill grabs him and confronts him.
Bill Barnhart: Do you think this is funny? This is a serious incident. My little girl could be suffering from dehydration now.
Man: No Mister Barnhart this is not funny.
The man snickers again and Bill throws him on the ground and uses the man’s shirt to wipe up as much off Iris’s business as he can but there is too much. So he puts Iris back into the locker room and goes to conduct an interview with Page Harris before making his entrance to the ring still with a bit of Iris’s fecal matter stuck on his boots.
Our attention is taken backstage where Bill Barnhart is storming down the hallway after his incident with Iris and her intestinal problems. Bill had to place Iris in a lockdown in his dressing room so that she won't soil some more things. He will check on her when his match with Matthew Toddi is over. Barnhart reaches the area where he is meeting Asylum Wrestling Alliance Interviewer, Page Harris. Bill stops and we see Page Harris sniff the air and gag as she smells the remnants of what Iris left on Bill's boots.
PAGE HARRIS: Bill...*sniff* *sniff*...what in the world is that awful smell? I have smelled dead skunk road kill which smelled better than that! Where is that awful smell coming from?
We watch as Page gets close to Barnhart and she sniffs his goatee but the smell is not coming from his goatee. Page Harris then moves her nose close to Bill's armpit but she realizes the smell is not coming from his armpits either. Page steps back and gags again.
PAGE HARRIS: *Gag* Come on Bill is this some sort of a joke you are playing on me? *Gag* Ewwww...please tell me you are playing a joke on me.
BILL BARNHART: Page, I am not playing a joke on anyone. I was about to leave my dressing room with Iris to have this interview with you and to get staged for my entrance for my match when Iris had a diarrhea fit. I don't know what happened to her Page. I mean, if you could use the term POWER POOP then Iris set the World Record on that one. She was squirting watery poo all over the place including on my wrestling boots. I had to lock her in my dressing room. I will have a Veterinarian come and check on her after my match. Just imagine that I am the one who has to enter that dressing room after my match with Toddi and I am already dreading what I will find when I return.
PAGE HARRIS: Looking at your wrestling boots it would appear that you were not able to get her poop completely wiped off them. *Gag* Bill let's get this interview going and done with as I am having a difficult time dealing with the smell from your wrestling boots. How do you feel going into this match this week against Matthew Toddi?
BILL BARNHART: I feel great and I WON'T BACK DOWN!!! I don't want anyone to think I am concerned about Matthew tonight. Just because he has the lead in the Universal Title Qualifying Tournament doesn't mean he can defeat me tonight. We have had three matches together and I won two of them against Toddi. I WON'T BACK DOWN!!!
PAGE HARRIS: *Gag* Could you tell us, please, about your Disqualification against Steve Ramone last week in the Universal Title Qualifying match?
BILL BARNHART: Can you believe that Referee? Here I am...totally destroying Steve Ramone during that match...when I get knocked out of the ring. I am dazed but I manage to get to my feet and return into the ring. I roll Steve Ramone up into a pinning combination and then the Referee stops the match at a TWO count and hands me a Disqualification. Page, I have no clue where that chair came from and I never hit Steve Ramone with it! Maybe someone with a score to settle with me, maybe someone like Chris Shipman, threw that chair into the ring while I was dazed and crawling back into the ring, to give the impression that I used the chair on Steve Ramone. I WAS FRAMED!!!
PAGE HARRIS: Bill...I hate to burst your bubble...but I was there at ringside...I saw the entire match...and you went outside the ring...you pulled that steel chair out from under the ring...and then you dragged the chair into the ring...and while the Referee had his back turned...you whacked Steve Ramone with the chair and knocked him out. *Gag* When the Referee turned around and started the count...and when he saw the chair on the mat...he assumed you hit Steve Ramone with it so he Disqualified you.
BILL BARNHART: You just said it Page...the Referee ASSUMED that I hit Steve Ramone with the chair. He never saw me hit Ramone with the chair. So the Referees can now just make any decision they want without actually seeing an event take place? What is going to be their next I DIDN'T SEE IT decision Page? They will have their back turned...and when they turn around they will just give a pinfall victory to a wrestler even though they never saw the pin or made the count?
PAGE HARRIS: But, Bill, I saw you hit Steve Ramone with the chair and knock him out!
BILL BARNHART: However, the Referee did NOT see any such thing. He just saw a chair sitting on the mat and ASSUMED that I was the one who put it there and that he ASSUMED I might have used it on Steve Ramone to knock him out. Referee's cannot make a decision on something they didn't see.
PAGE HARRIS: Perhaps if we start using Instant Replay in Wrestling the Referee would have been able to look at the Replay and determine that you did, in fact, whack Steve Ramone with the steel chair to knock him out and that you deserved the Disqualification.
BILL BARNHART: Do you know how many times those Tech Geeks have DOCTORED videos of my matches and my segments so that they show something which never happened? So what you are saying here Page is that if the Tech Geeks in the Control Room can quickly doctor the video of my match to make it look like I used a steel chair on Steve Ramone that would hold up as valid evidence? Doctored video? Come on Page!
PAGE HARRIS: I stand by what I personally saw during your match Bill. You pulled the steel chair out from under the ring and you brought the chair into the ring and, while the Referee's back was turned, you whacked it into the face of Steve Ramone to knock him out. This time you are guilty as charged.
BILL BARNHART: You know what Page? I would say SCREW YOU but from the rumors I hear in the Dressing Rooms...you do the screwing thing just a bit too well. I guess your nickname of Page "Mattress Back" Harris is well earned. Just remember...I have a match shortly against Matthew Toddi and my new motto is I DON'T BACK DOWN and tonight Toddi will find out that I DON'T BACK DOWN for any reason!
Barnhart is about to turn away from Page Harris to get in position at the entrance area for his entrance for his match. Before he leaves he moves a chair near Page Harris and he lifts his leg up on the chair. Bill then waves his hands over the smelly boots to waft the smell of the poop of Iris in the direction of Page Harris. Bill quickly turns and stomps off down the hallway. We hear vomiting sounds coming from Page Harris but, out of respect for her, the cameraman doesn't turn his camera on Page, but instead of walks off down the hallway in the other direction, and then the Control Room switches to another scene.
Bill Barnhart(0p) vs. Matthew Toddi(4p)
TRUTH by Seether hits the speakers in the arena and we immediately see a confident Matthew Toddi appear from the backstage area. He is confident as he is the current point leader in the Universal Title Qualifying Tournament. Matthew wastes no time at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp. He quickly acknowledges the crowd, who give him a mixed reaction, and he runs down the ramp toward the ring. When Toddi gets close to the ring he dives head-first under the bottom rope into the ring and then he quickly pops to his feet. He runs to the far side of the ring, jumps up on the corner ropes, and he raises his arms in a victory pose as the fans continue with their mixed reaction. Matthew jumps off the ropes and walks around the ring waiting for Bill Barnhart to show up for the match.
TEX: Toddi is going to own Barnhart tonight! Bill has been totally pathetic in this Universal Title Qualifying Tournament.
DUFF: Pathetic you say? Shipman cheated to get a victory over Barnhart and then the Referee in his match with Ramone cheated by Disqualifying Barnhart for doing nothing wrong!
TEX: You say Barnhart did nothing wrong? Whacking Steve Ramone with a steel chair is doing nothing wrong?
DUFF: The Referee in that match did NOT see Bill Barnhart hit Steve Ramone with that chair. He never saw anything illegal. He simply saw a chair lying on the mat and assumed that Bill used the chair on Steve and gave him a Disqualification. So Barnhart has been performing well in the Universal Title Qualifying Tournament so far...he has simply been cheated out of two victories by Chris Shipman and Steve Ramone.
STORMY CANYON: Our next competitor in the Universal Title Qualifying Tournament comes from Detroit, Michigan, he stands in at 6 feet 1 inch and 225 pounds, he is MATTHEW TODDI!!!
I WON'T BACK DOWN by Tom Petty hits the speakers in the arena. The TRON comes to life with a shot of the Gates of Hell with fire shooting up around the Gates of Hell. We then see the image of Bill Barnhart, on the TRON, walk in front of the Gates of Hell when the song reaches the lyrics of: YOU CAN STAND ME UP AT THE GATES OF HELL...BUT I WON'T BACK DOWN! The TRON goes off and we see Bill Barnhart come out from the backstage area. He has just had a tough time with Iris having diarrhea and crapping all over his dressing room and his wrestling boots. We can see by looking at his boots that he wasn't able to totally clean them before making his entrance for this match. Bill plays the crowd to a mostly negative reaction but he honestly doesn't care what the fans think of him. Bill walks confidently down the ramp to the ring. When Barnhart arrives at the ring he climbs the ring steps, he walks along the ring apron, and then he ducks into the ring and backs into a corner to await the start of the match.
TEX: Barnhart seems a bit subdued tonight. By the way...what is that awful smell?
DUFF: If you went through an illness with Iris...and not being able to clean the dog poop off your boots...and getting cheated out of a victory in your last two matches in the Universal Title Qualifying Tournament by Shipman and Ramone...you would be a bit subdued also. The smell is the remnants of the poo of Iris on the wrestling boots of Bill Barnhart.
STORMY CANYON: Here is our next participant in the Universal Title Qualifying Tournament, he hails from Oakland, California, he stands in at 6 feet even and he weighs 240 pounds, he is "BULLDOG" BILL BARNHART!!!
The crowd launches into a mostly negative reaction again at the announcement of Bill Barnhart for this match. Bill waves them off as Referee "Chocolate" Chip Long walks to the middle of the ring and motions for Matthew Toddi and Bill Barnhart to join him. Long gives the pre-match instructions to both wrestlers and both inform the Referee that they understand. Matthew starts to complain about the horrible smell from the wrestling boots of Bill Barnhart but Referee Long informs Toddi there isn't much he can do about it and that it is not the fault of Barnhart that Iris had the runs. Chip Long motions to the Timekeeper to ring the bell and this match is officially underway. The two wrestlers lock up and Barnhart maneuvers out of the lock up and he manages to drop Toddi to the mat. Bill then applies a head scissors to Toddi and since Bill's boots are hear Toddi's face he starts gagging from the poop smell on the boots. Matthew manages to move his leg to the ropes and Referee Long steps in and demands a break. Bill reluctantly breaks the hold and both wrestlers get to their feet.
TEX: Okay, Duff, even you have to admit that using toxic warfare against Toddi is illegal and should be grounds for Disqualification of Bill Barnhart for using a foreign substance to disable his opponent.
DUFF: It is not his fault that Iris got ill and power pooped all over his dressing room and his boots.
Although Chip Long understands the smelly boots is not the fault of Bill Barnhart, he still issues a warning to Barnhart not to use any maneuvers which cause his smelly boots to be near, or in contact with, the face of Matthew Toddi. Bill gets into the face of the Referee and bitterly complains that the Referee is playing favorites here in denying Bill the opportunity to use wrestling holds and maneuvers which are in his arsenal. Chip Long stands by his decision and he demands that Barnhart get back into the match or he will count him out and Disqualify him.
DUFF: What the hell is going on here Tex? This is the third match in a row, all in the Universal Title Qualifying Tournament, in which the Referees are biased against Barnhart! There is a conspiracy here!
TEX: Oh great...here we go with the Conspiracy Theory line of thought again!
We can tell that Bill Barnhart is extremely upset at the bias against him in his last three matches. Bill approaches Matthew and, against the protests of the Referee, Barnhart begins to viciously punch Toddi in the face and head. Bill breaks at a three count so that he will not get Disqualified and then he continues punching Matthew without mercy. Toddi is reeling as Barnhart locks in a side headlock and he signals for his Bulldog finisher. Bill backs up into a corner and then he takes off running across the ring toward the opposite corner to drive the face of Matthew hard into the mat with the Bulldog maneuver and get the pinfall victory. However, as Bill launches himself, with Matthew in the Bulldog position, into the air to finish Matthew off with the Bulldog finisher, Toddi manages to wriggle out of the headlock and in the process he takes both his hands and drives them hard into the back of Bill Barnhart, shoving him into the corner. The momentum of the shove drives Barnhart, head first, through the corner ropes, and everyone in the arena hears the THUNK as Bill Barnhart's head smacks hard into the steel ring post. Bill goes limp as Matthew walks into the corner and pulls Barnhart out from the ropes. Toddi signals for his MKO Diamond Cutter maneuver and the crows gets excited as he places Bill in position to execute it upon him. Matthew stands Bill up and then he drive Barnhart down and into the Diamond Cutter. Bill lands hard on the mat and he is not moving. Toddi goes for the pin as Referee Chip Long makes the count. ONE...TWO...THREE!!! Chip Long calls for the bell to the end the match. He then taps Toddi on the back and demands he get off Bill Barnhart and he does.
STORMY CANYON: Here is your winner of this Universal Title Qualifying Tournament match, by pinfall, please give it up for MATTHEW TODDIIIII!!!!!
TEX: I don't mean to say I TOLD YOU SO but...I TOLD YOU SO THAT TODDI WOULD DEFEAT BARNHART!
DUFF: Oh shut the hell up! Beer Man! Bring me a Beer!
