Knee Johnson, Dexter Copeland, and Frenchie Parker and their
surroundings all fade into view.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Welcome back to Danger Zone! The night just seems to keep getting better and better! If you've missed what's been
goin' on so far... you've missed a lot.
Knee Johnson:
Yeah, Frenchie, but I still think things could be better. Like why does it have to be Jason Agony and Malibu Mike
Donovan going at it? I'd rather see Agony pound in a guy who deserves it.
Frenchie Parker:
As you know, Agony and Donovan have wanted to fight eachother for a while. Maybe you like both of them, Knee...
but they hate eachother.
Dexter Copeland:
Yeah. When you gots beef wif someone... ya just don't let it go by unchecked.
Frenchie Parker:
Ya know it! But we have "Iron Man" Jeff Beam and Suicide prepared ta take eachother on right now! I think
this is gonna be one hell of a match.
Knee Johnson:
I doubt it, Frenchie. Beam is gonna make Suicide look about as bad as Pelius made Mangler look just a few minutes
ago.
Dexter Copeland:
I don't know anythin' about either of deese competitahs, but I think I have ta go wif Knee's prediction, know what
ah'm sayin'? I mean I just don't see Suicide puttin' up much of a fight.
Frenchie Parker:
Okay! So I guess we all can agree that Beam keeps the belt?
Dexter Copeland:
I've learned that ya nevah know what's gonna happen in a CNWF Squared match so I ain't gonna make no prediction
on anythin'... but I still lean toward the fact that Suicide is in no condition to wrestle a man like Beam.
{cut to shot of the ring}
The ring announcer has made his way to the ring and is ready
to announce the upcoming match.
Ring Announcer:
The following contest is scheduled for one fall! The CNWF Squared Intercontinental Heavyweight title is on the
line! {cheers can be heard from the audience} Introducing first: the challenger. He hails from Boston, Massachusetts;
tonight weighing in at two-hundred thirty-eight pounds... Suicide!
{cut to shot of the walkway}
"Madman" by Silverchair plays, and he walks into
the arena. He gets a mixed reaction from the fans, though it seems more people like him than hate him judging from
the balance of the reaction. He walks to the ring making little contact of any sort with the audience.
{cut to shot of the ring}
Suicide enters the ring and waits for his opponent.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
So does he look ready to you guys?
Dexter Copeland:
Actually, I think dis man looks pretty normal to me... jus' like da las' man. In otha' words... he ain't ready
fo' Beam.
Frenchie Parker:
What do you think, Knee?
Knee Johnson:
Hell, I don't think Suicide has any business even looking at a ring where Beam is fighting!
Frenchie Parker:
I get the feeling that's pretty much how the audience feels too!
Knee Johnson:
Yeah... but like me and everyone else who's smart keeps saying... Lex never should have convinced this guy ta stay
in the CNWF Squared! He has no business here.
Frenchie Parker:
Well maybe he'll be one of the first guys Lex cuts from the roster.
{ring}
Ring Announcer:
And now the champion, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; weighing two-hundred sixty-seven pounds... "Iron Man" Jeff
Beam!
{cut to shot of the walkway}
The arena lights dim out completely as "Physical"
by Nine Inch Nails plays over the public address system. Red fireworks go off at the entrance way, as Beam walks
out wearing a long black silk robe, trimmed in purple. The Intercontinental belt is strapped around his waist.
The audience is booing Beam at a fairly good volume as he arrogantly walks up the aisle.
{cut to shot of the ring}
As Beam enters the ring, a white spotlight shines, and pans
back and forth on all sides of the ring. Beam walks to the center of the ring and hands his robe and belt to a
ring attendant who quickly carries them away. Beam looks toward his opponent with a smirk on his face. Suicide
shows no emotion on his face.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Suicide doesn't show it, but he hates Beam.
Knee Johnson:
I don't really think Beam gives a damn. Just look at him!
Dexter Copeland:
Yup! Dat Beam ain't lettin' no intimidation factors get ta him.
Knee Johnson:
Suicide isn't a very intimidating guy anyway. Not much to fear here.
Frenchie Parker:
I wouldn't say that, Knee. This Suicide has taken out some big names, including Pelius of Clamorus.
Knee Johnson:
Okay... so Suicide beat two guys I hate. Pelius of Clamorus and Kain Piller. Big deal! I'll bet the real Pelius,
Evil Lord Pelius that is, would mop the floor with Suicide. And that's one heck of an insult!
Dexter Copeland:
Man, I don't know what you been smokin', but I think some people would consider it an accomplishment ta get whooped
by Evil Lord Pelius. It's better than comin' out on a stretcher!
{ring}
The referee calls for the bell and the match begins.

___________________________
{ring}
While Beam is still smirking at Suicide, Suicide snaps into
action and hits Beam with a stiff drop kick sending him down to the canvas. With blinding speed, Suicide hooks
Beam's leg for the cover.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
One! Two! Three! Kickout! Oh man that was close! He caught
Beam totally off guard!
Dexter Copeland:
Dat was unexpected!
Knee Johnson:
Wind Whisper looked like he was gonna win at first too, ya
know.
{ring}
Beam gets back up to his feet, but he is clotheslined quickly
back down to the canvas by Suicide. Before Beam has any time to react, Suicide executes a standing moonsault and
lands squarely on Beam's chest. While he's there, he hooks Beam's leg once again for the cover. This time Beam
kicks out quickly, then gets back up to his feet. Suicide tries to get something going once again... but we'll
never know what as Beam takes him down with a vicious headbutt. Beam rests against the ropes, obviously totally
taken off guard by the surprise attack by Suicide. The audience is booing loudly.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Beam taking a little time ta regroup here. Boy was that a
close call for him!
Knee Johnson:
Don't get your hopes up, guys. Beam has this one totally in
the bag. Suicide doesn't know if he's comin' or goin' right now.
Dexter Copeland:
To me it looks more like Beam doesn't know what's goin' on!
Suicide's finally gettin' back to his feet! Look out!
{ring}
While Beam is still resting, Suicide leaps into the air and
connects with Beam with a cross body block, sending both men over the top rope and to the outside of the ring.
{cut to ringside shot}
Beam is slow getting back up, but Suicide is back on his
feet in a flash. He picks Jeff Beam up off the floor and delivers a powerful crescent kick to his jaw. Beam falls
backward on to the ring apron and Suicide goes to the audience to try to get a chair or something from them.
{commentary}
Dexter Copeland:
What's with this? Everyone knows that wrestler's store weapons
underneath the ring before the matches. Why ain't he goin' there for a weapon?
Frenchie Parker:
I guess maybe he wants ta get away from Beam for now so he
can get another surprise attack going.
Knee Johnson:
Either that or he's just scared of him.
Frenchie Parker:
You know he's scared of him, or else he wouldn't have tried
a sneak attack.
Dexter Copeland:
Yeah. If ya ain't scared o' da guy, you don't catch da man
off guard.
Knee Johnson:
For once we all agree!
Dexter Copeland:
Dat's 'cause we speak da truf, and dis time you just along
fo' da ride.
{ringside}
While Suicide is busy bartering for a chair from someone
in the audience, Beam quickly regroups, rolls back in the ring, then back out again to restart the count which
was getting to be a bit high. Beam then looks under the ring, and it doesn't take him long to find whatever it
is he is looking for. He pulls out from under the ring a shiny chair which is dented in several places. A smile
crosses his face, and he heads back toward Suicide.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Oh man! Beam has his favorite chair, "Excalibur"!
He's used that on so many people! It's gotta be the most time honored chair in wrestling history!
Knee Johnson:
Yep! Beam is the chairman of wrestling... so much so that
he named his own chair after it! Gotta love that!
Dexter Copeland:
I'd say it's been very effective... holy cow!
{ringside}
Suicide has just turned around and almost immediately thereafter
he catches a stiff chair shot to the side of the head. Another dent appears in the gratuitously dented chair. The
referee now comes out and starts yelling at Beam to put down the chair and get back in the ring. The audience is
booing quite loudly at this point as well. Beam looks down at the referee with a mean smirk on his face, then throws
down the chair. He then walks Suicide back to the ring, rolls him back in, then reenters himself.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
They're back in the ring now. Sometimes ya wonder just how
much action is gonna happen at ringside before there's some intervention.
Knee Johnson:
Davison/Outcast was fought almost entirely at ringside.
Dexter Copeland:
Yeah... and right in front of our commentary desk, too!
Knee Johnson:
Here we go!
{cut to shot of the ring}
Beam has Suicide and places his head between his legs. It
looks as if Beam is setting up Suicide for a piledriver. Beam has an extremely cocky expression on his face as
he looks around the audience, inciting a negative reaction. Soon, however, the boos turn into cheers as Suicide
somehow finds the strength to execute a backdrop on Beam, sending him down to the canvas, holding his back in pain,
and with a completely surprised expression on his face.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Unbelievable! Suicide got out of that one! I thought it was
the beginning of the end for him right there!
Knee Johnson:
Dammit! Just lay down and die, Suicide! Hey! That goes pretty
good!
Dexter Copeland:
Well, I think this Suicide is gonna help Beam with an assisted
suicide in just a few short moments.
Knee Johnson:
The only suicide that Suicide is gonna assist is gonna be
with his own career.
Frenchie Parker:
I wonder how many times Suicide hears that every day...
{ring}
The audience cheers as Suicide picks up Beam and lands staggering
right hand blows to Beam's gut. Suicide then turns Beam around and delivers a healthy looking back suplex to him.
The crowd is absolutely cheering over this.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
I never thought this would happen! Beam is getting his clock
cleaned by Suicide! This is looking like a rerun of Suicide/Piller!
Knee Johnson:
Don't count on it, Frenchster. I still can't see Beam goin'
down ta this guy.
Dexter Copeland:
Fo'get about it, Knee. Dis man is _through_!
Knee Johnson:
I know Beam better than this. Besides, take a good look at
Beam and tell me if he looks exhausted to you.
{ring}
Beam slowly gets back up to his feet. Suicide looks as if
he is calling for his finisher as the audience begins cheering loudly. He turns around so his back is facing Jeff
Beam, who still looks a bit groggy. He looks to be breathing heavily and barely standing on his own strength. Everyone
knows what's coming next.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
The "Suicide Kick" is coming up, guys! If Suicide
hits this, it's all over for Beam. This is how he got the countout win on Kain Piller!
Knee Johnson:
I can't believe it! Suicide beating Beam? It defies the laws
of physics!
Dexter Copeland:
Well, believe it. Beam is goin' down!
Knee Johnson:
But just a minute ago, Beam was in great shape! How could
one back suplex do that much harm ta Beam? I mean he's a tough guy!
Dexter Copeland:
Believe it, man! Suicide has Beam in da bag!
{ring}
Sure enough, Suicide executes a springboard moonsault which
ends up as a drop kick. He connects with Beams chest with such force that it isn't too hard to see that the result
will be Beam falling to the canvas. Beam bends back due to the force of the blow. Suicide lands on the canvas,
sure that victory is in his grasp... knowing that Beam went down...
...but he didn't.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Oh no! Beam is still on his feet! He looks totally unfazed!
{ring}
Beam looks down at Suicide, who is getting up on his feet,
his back to Beam. Beam emits a bit of a chuckle as he watches Suicide getting back up. The booing from the audience
is in credible as they realize that Suicide probably hasn't been effective on Beam all night. Suicide, on the other
hand, looks as if he has spent all his energy on this match. He slowly rises to his feet, breathing heavily after
executing the difficult move. He seems to be quite satisfied that he has the match in the bag. He turns around
quickly, ready to cover a fallen Beam... when he suddenly freezes. He slowly looks up at the six-foot seven monster
who looks all too confident at this point, and the booing increases much more. The look on Suicide's face is totally
blank... from shock and possibly even a measure of fear. A look of anger suddenly sweeps over the face of Beam
as he connects a hard right fist into the jaw of Suicide. The referee can be seen admonishing Beam for using a
closed fist, but he doesn't care. Beam now takes Suicide and lifts him up into a vertical suplex.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
Oh no! When just a few moments ago we all thought Suicide
was gonna win the Intercontinental belt, Suicide's about to feel the "Iron Maiden"!
Knee Johnson:
I didn't think Suicide was gonna win... you did!
{ring}
Beam now twists Suicide around so that he is in a belly to
belly position, then drops him into a belly to belly piledriver. The booing is tremendous as Beam places one single
finger on Suicides chest as the referee begins the three count.
{commentary}
Frenchie Parker:
One... two... three... oh man. Beam fooled everyone.
Knee Johnson:
He didn't fool me! I _knew_ that he had ta be playin' possum!
I just knew that Suicide couldn't have gotten anywhere against Beam!
{ring}
Beam just exits the ring and heads toward the ring attendant
who has his robe and belt.

___________________________
{cut to shot of the commentary table}
Dexter Copeland and Frenchie Parker both look quite shocked.
In stark contrast, Knee Johnson looks as if he's about to laugh.
{commentary}
Knee Johnson:
Ya saps! I shoulda' known you two guys were gonna fall for that match! Ha ha!
Frenchie Parker:
That isn't funny, Knee.
Dexter Copeland:
Yeah. Shut cho' mouf, foo'!
Knee Johnson:
Ya can't take bein' wrong! Ha ha!
Frenchie Parker:
I was wrong. Happy now? Anyway, we have a commercial to get to. When we come back, we have Da SuPerFan takin' on
Andrew Tucker. Then we have the big main event, Donovan facing Jason Agony! This is gonna be one heck of an end
to a great show. Ya won't wanna miss it! Don't touch that remote. Don't even look at it!
{Abruptly the screen fades to black, in which commercials
will soon follow.}
