Knee Johnson, Dexter Copeland, and Frenchie Parker are ssitting
at the commentary table, each straightening out their stack of papers. Copeland leans back in his chair and appears
to be trying to see what Knee Johnson's papers have, but he notices and turns the papers away from him. After that,
Frenchie Parker turns toward the camera and begins to speak.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Hello, and welcome to the second hour of Danger Zone! Boy was the first hour jam packed with action and I'm sorry
if you missed it.
Dexter Copeland:
Yeah! I mean we saw what looks to be da emergence of two new wrestlers, and we saw some extreme action between
Ken Davison and Outcast by Society. I don't think there will be anything else tonight that compares wit' dat!
Knee Johnson:
We also saw our friend Frenchie Parker botch a shot at the Television title of Cristopher Felinsworth. That was
followed by Wind Whisper enacting a rerun of "Gone With the Wind" when he was literally blown away by
Tommy Craven. To end the hour, we had a heck of a match between CAIN and Dominator of Destruction. It was one heck
of a first hour!
Dexter Copeland:
True dat! An' one thing's fo' sho' is anybody who missed da firs' hour... mus' have brain damage!
Frenchie Parker:
Ya know it! But that goes double for anyone who misses the action we have jam packed into _this_ hour! We have
a big main event in Malibu Mike Donovan defending his belt against Jason Agony! That's gonna be one heck of a match
ta see. But we also have "Iron Man" Jeff Beam defending his Intercontinental belt against Suicide. Beam
had a few pre-recorded comments for the match, so let's get right to 'em.
{cut}
[The scene opens up at Jeff Beam's personal training facility
near his home in Pittsburgh, PA. Various weight and stamina training devices surround the replica wrestling ring
that stands in the center of the room. Inside the ring are three men, a referee in normal attire, one who
stands near 7 feet tall with short black hair, and a nice build dressed in a blue tank top, blue tights and black
wrestling boots. The other man, who seems to be in total control of the match is known wrestling world wide as
the "Iron Man" Jeff Beam. Beam, his long platnium blonde locks tied back behind his head, wearing
his black wresting trunks which read "Physical" in purple across the rear and "Iron" in silver
down the legs, and his glossy black boots, whips the man into the ropes, knocing the seven footer from his vertical
base with a vicious clothesline. The "Iron Man" picks the man and delivers a picture perfect Northern
Lights suplex, which receives a two count from the ref. The man dressed in blue slowly gets to his feet,
obviously groggy from the beating he has received and immediately receives a boot to the stomah, courtesy of Beam.
Beam then grabs the man's arm and lifts him up into a vertical suplex, rotates him in midair, and drops him down
quickly into a tombstone suplex, completing his trademark move, the Iron Maiden. Beam places one finger on
his unconcious opponent and gets the three count from the referee.]
"Iron Man" Jeff Beam: Nothing like a little sparring to prepare myself for this Monday Night, where on Danger Zone
the viewing audience gets the pleasure of seeing the "Iron Man" defend his Intercontinetal championship
for the very first time against Suicide. Cide, the carnage you just witnessed, well, you get the opportunity
of experiencing it first hand when you step up to the plate on the 21st. You're at bat, I'm on the mound,
and trust me, I won't be throwing pitches to your "sweet spot", it's going to be a bean ball straight
to the temple.
See, Suicide, that's the way I work. And due to the fact that you
hold a win over men, I'm going to add a little extra heat to your pitch, making sure I knock your ass out for good.
Danger Zone, the #1 show in the CNWF² and the perfect place for
Beamer to display his skills. After the match, I'm signing an open contract to anyone in the CNWF².
You got the sack to step up to the plate with the Iron Man pitching, well then, get on deck and when it's your
turn at bat, you'll get the same pitch that awaits Suicide, the
Iron Maiden, and the same fate that awaits him.....a strike out.
Deal with it, (CENSORED).
{cut to shot of the commentary table}
The trio doesn't seem to have reacted much to the words of
Jeff Beam.
{commentary}
Knee Johnson:
Some strong words there from Jeff Beam!
Frenchie Parker:
Beam and Suicide used to be on the same team, of course. They were both MoB'sters, but now that's all in the past.
I think Beamer's gonna have a surprise for Suicide tonight!
Dexter Copeland:
I hear dis Suicide man is a pretty damn tough opponent. I don't see him gettin' too much of a butt whippin' tonight.
I see him dishin' out da punishment too. Don't fo'get he beat Kain Piller! I saw dat match an' it was _unbelievable_!
Knee Johnson:
Well, I liked Suicide back then, but I think Lex was an idiot for convincing Suicide to stay in the federation
now. Suicide needs ta go back to the little leagues and learn how ta fight once again.
Frenchie Parker:
Knee... this is kinda the little leagues.
Knee Johnson:
Oh yeah? Well this ain't the littlest league around, ya know. This is the number three wrestling organization on
the planet! That means there's literally thousands of other federations below us, and that means we're the next
best thing after the big two. And I ain't talking about WWF and WCW either.
{cut to shot of the ring}
The ring announcer is standing in the middle of the ring
holding a piece of paper in one hand, and a microphone in the other.
Ring Announcer:
The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Toms River, New Jersey; weighing two-hundred
ninety-one pounds... Mangler!
{cut to shot of the walkway}
Mangler steps out looking quite normal. There is the normal
heel pop for him. The lights are shining at their normal intensity. The normal music is playing. The atmosphere
seems quite normal. He walks to the ring at a normal speed. He has a very normal expression on his face. He is
wearing normal wrestling gear. Yes... he looks very normal.
{cut to normal shot of the ring}
Mangler enters the ring in a normal fashion. He walks to
his normal position in the ring. He has a stunningly normal look on his face. The normal music soon fades out.
{commentary}
Dexter Copeland:
Damn... I ain't _nevah_ felt so mediocre in my life. Even so, dat was da closes' thing I _evah_ felt towards de
ja vous.
Knee Johnson:
I think that guy has some problems. You wanna hear something else wierd?
Dexter Copeland:
Shoot.
Knee Johnson:
I never heard that song before in my whole life... I have no idea what it is... yet... it sounded so normal! I
don't get it.
Dexter Copeland:
Dis man has a hold on our minds.
Knee Johnson:
Yeah... either that or he's just plain normal!
{ring}
Ring Announcer:
And his opponent, from Neverland Valley, California; weighing two-hundred eighty-eight pounds... the Evil Lord
Pelius!
{cut to shot of the walkway}
The first notes of the "Imperial Death March" play
into the arena, oddly blending into a vaguely familiar operatic chorus. Suddenly, and very loudly, "Symphony
of Destruction" blasts out of the PA system, showering the crowd with its heavy metal chords. Then, striding
with a chillingly evil grin, the red-cloaked massivity of the Evil Lord Pelius, the Red Knight of the CNWF Squared
appears, eyes glowing red with power, heavy black boots clicking upon the concrete floor of the aisle.
{cut to shot of the ring}
Upon reaching the squared circle, he climbs on to the ring
apron then grabs the top rope and uses it to flip into the ring, landing squarely upon his feet in a fully upright
stance. Pelius' music then fades out.
{commentary}
Dexter Copeland:
Whoa! How many two-hundred and eighty pound guys do that?
Frenchie Parker:
This is why the Evil Lord Pelius is one of the greats here. You won't see him leave the canvas a lot during a match,
though. He is pretty much a technical wrestler... like myself.
Knee Johnson:
Ha ha! No wonder he loses so much!
Frenchie Parker:
Knee, do you realize that he's only been pinned once?
Knee Johnson:
So what? I'm not much of a Pelius fan anyway. How does he get is eyes to glow like that anyway?
Frenchie Parker:
Why don't you ask him?
Knee Johnson:
Nah... you do it.
Dexter Copeland:
I wondah if Pelius knows Michael Jackson?
Knee Johnson:
{sarcastically}
What? You a big fan of Jackson? Heh heh...
Dexter Copeland:
Hell no! But I think it's just a little conspicuous that they be livin' in da same place an' all. Pelius mus' live
right on da "Neverland Valley Ranch" wif him, ya know? Evah heard of anyone else livin' there?
Frenchie Parker:
I don't know, Dexy, and I don't even want ta think of what you're getting at, but this match is just about to start.
{ring}
The referee calls for the bell thus signalling the beginning
of the match.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The Evil Lord Pelius vs Mangler
6'-4", 288 lbs — 6'-6", 291 lbs
(One Fall, Singles Match)
___________________________
{ring}
Mangler runs at Pelius and attempts to push him back. Even
though Mangler has a bit of a height and weight advantage on Pelius, the Red Knight doesn't budge. Mangler decides
to try to knock Pelius over using momentum, so he bounces against the ropes and attempts to clothesline him, but
Pelius thinks too quickly and grabs Mangler before he connects with the clothesline, wrenches him off the canvas,
then throws him back down with a powerful slam. The whole time, Pelius' feet never left the canvas, but Mangler
is flat on his back trying to get back up.
{commentary}
Dexter Copeland:
Dis Pelius be pretty damn strong!
Frenchie Parker:
I know! I mean he was quite possibly the most feared World
Champion ever!
Knee Johnson:
Ah... I ain't scared o' no medieval knight. All that crap
is in the past. Everyone knows there ain't no such thing as dragons!
Frenchie Parker:
Dragons or no dragons, this guy gets the job done in the ring
pretty good.
{ring}
Mangler is back on his feet and he looks pretty mad... which
would be a normal reaction. He runs up to Pelius and starts yelling at him. Pelius just stares directly into the
larger man's eyes, showing no emotion whatsoever. Mangler slaps Pelius across the face, but that only serves to
anger Pelius, so he delivers a hard hitting right first to Mangler's jaw, sending him once again back down to the
canvas. A large cheer erupts from the audience. This time, Mangler rolls out of the ring and catches his breath
while resting his weight on the ring apron.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Ya know, it sure is something how this Pelius guy can be so
evil, but loved so much by the audience.
Dexter Copeland:
Well, we all know how last year when president Lex Victor
screwed Pelius outta the win against Akai Daragon that his popularity skyrocketed.
Frenchie Parker:
That really wasn't when his popularity took off, ya know.
It really was when Pelius took out Heartbreak Kris... one of the most hated wrestlers of all time in the CNWF Squared.
They also liked seeing him take out worthless competitors of the federation as well. Sure, they hated the evil
one at first... but he was just too good to hate forever.
Knee Johnson:
That's what makes me sick... these guys who are so evil, but
play up to the fans.
Dexter Copeland:
Question of the night: since Pelius entered the ring, has
he moved an inch?
{ring}
Mangler seems to have finally calmed himself down and is
now reentering the ring. Pelius is still standing where he was, so Mangler makes like he is going to lock up with
Pelius. Pelius decides to lock up as well and advances on Mangler. When they lock up, Pelius forces Mangler to
stoop down a bit, then he roughhouses Mangler into a corner. With Mangler in the corner, Pelius lifts the bigger
man off the canvas once again, then smashes him back first into the turnbuckles. To get Mangler back out of the
corner, he delivers a massive belly to belly suplex. The cheers shoot up once again from the audience.
{commentary}
Knee Johnson:
Pelius is just too good! I can't believe how easily he is
takin' it ta Mangler.
Dexter Copeland:
I don't think dis Mangler guy did his homework. I think Pelius
is just too much for him.
Frenchie Parker:
I don't know how many people will remember this little bit
of information, but Pelius and Mangler have met once before. Let's just say Pelius really took him out the first
time. In fact, I think this is actually the third time these two have met here in the CNWF Squared. I get the feeling
this will probably be the last time we see Pelius and Mangler.
Knee Johnson:
I don't know how many times these two have met here, but I
wish someone would beat Pelius in a real match. I'm tired of seein' this guy win!
{ring}
Pelius still looks quite calm as Mangler is trying to figure
out a way to get through Pelius' defenses. Mangler closes in on Pelius once again and attempts to bring him down
with a fireman's carry. Pelius does not move at all. Mangler tries very hard to get Pelius to go over, but he cannot
find the strength to move the massive wrestler. Mangler then gets back up and grabs Pelius around the waist and
lift him off the canvas. Pelius remains solidly in place. Mangler pulls with all of his might, but still Pelius
does not move. Mangler gets very frustrated and runs against the ropes to try to gain momentum. While he runs to
the ropes, Pelius turns around and looks to be walking away from Mangler. Mangler finally bounces off the ropes
and runs at Pelius. A split second before Mangler would have collided with Pelius, he turns a bit with his arm
bent out and catches Mangler right in the jaw with his elbow, sending Mangler down to the canvas, sliding foreward
due to the fact he still had a bit of foreward momentum on him. Again the audience shows their approval of Pelius.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Pelius sure knows what's happening in that ring at all times.
That's a good quality in a wrestler.
Dexter Copeland:
What I want to know is how he can stay solid on the canvas
like he does. Manglah tried everythin' he could think of ta try ta get Pelius off his feet, and nothing worked!
I don't get it!
Knee Johnson:
So, you gonna join me in the Pelius hate club?
Dexter Copeland:
Hell no! Pelius is an awesome wrestler!
{ring}
Pelius looks down with contempt at the sprawled out Mangler.
Pelius shakes his head, then walks toward the turnbuckles. To everyone's surprise, the large man begins climbing
the turnbuckles all the way to the top.
{commentary}
Dexter Copeland:
Ah man! What da hell is dis man thinkin'?
Knee Johnson:
I think he's gonna commit Suicide!
Frenchie Parker:
He's on the top turnbuckle! What's he gonna do now?
{ring}
Mangler barely moving as Pelius positions himself with his
back toward Mangler while standing on the top rope. The cheering is getting as close as it can to deafening as
the anticipation builds for what Pelius is going to do next. Mangler is still barely moving on the canvas. Finally,
Pelius leaps off the top turnbuckle, executing a moonsault. It isn't an extremely graceful moonsault like most
cruiserweights would do, but for a big man, it is definitely as good as it gets. He lands perfectly on Mangler's
chest and the audience screams in delight.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
I can't believe that! A good solid moonsault from Pelius!
Dexter Copeland:
Dis man has da skills to pay da bills!
Knee Johnson:
Yeah... he's okay, I guess.
{ring}
Rather than go for the cover, Pelius turns Mangler over,
then hooks on a crossface chickenwing. Pelius then puts both of his knees into Manglers back, then pulls back on
the chickenwing hold. As Mangler starts to scream in pain, the audience cheers wildly. Mangler immediately taps
out and the referee calls for the bell.
{commentary}
Dexter Copeland:
Dat's gotta hurt!
Frenchie Parker:
Lord Pelius wins this one by the "Final Submission".
Boy does that put major pressure on the lower back. Get the man some Doans!
Knee Johnson:
Ah... I could do that.
Frenchie Parker:
Alright. Give him some Doans then!
{Knee Johnson just grumbles}
{ring}
Mangler rolls out of the ring as Pelius is declared the winner
of the match. Pelius' music starts up again as he himself makes his way out of the ring as well.

Frenchie Parker:
Pelius sure handled that guy pretty well! We're coming up on another commercial break, though. When we come back,
we have Jeff Beam defending his Intercontinental gold against Suicide. That's gonna be a heck of a match, so don't
go away!
{Abruptly the screen fades to black, in which commercials
will soon follow.}
