[The camera fades back in on the commentary table with Michael Richardson and "Slick" Nicholas Chase.]

{commentary}
Michael Richardson: Welcome back to Danger Zone. There will only be one more commercial break, and then it's the last part of the show.

Nicholas Chase: How can you be so sure that it will be the last break? If all the next matches last five minutes, we'll have to go overtime.

Michael Richardson: I don't think that's happening, Slick. Seeing how the other matches went, I seriously doubt that we will need any special provisions for thfor the last portion.

Nicholas Chase: Right. Anyway, considering that, we might as well run down the results of the "Dark Matches" for the people viewing on television. For those of you who don't know, a "Dark Matches" are the fights that only the people in attendance get to see. Here at the CNWF Squared, we're nice enough to at least give you the results of those matches.

Nicholas Chase: There was some good action in these matches... but they were all very short. I doubt they would have lasted any longer had they been without the five minute time limit.

Michael Richardson: Could be right about that... but I don't think that is a subject worth dwelling on. Thorne Timberwolf and "SimpLy MarVelouS" Carl Grant are on standby in the ring awaiting the bell. I really have no idea how this one is going to go.

{cut to shot of the ring}
About this time, the bell rings thus beginning the match.

As the match begins, Timberwolf executes a front leg sweep connectintg with Grant's knees. Immediately, Grant falls to the canvas as the blow was perfectly placed. Timberwolf then wastes no time in locking on a vicious half Boston Crab. Clearly, Grant is in pain.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Well, look at that! Timberwolf's off to a quick start here!

Michael Richardson: I guess anyone can take advantage of these rules.

Nicholas Chase: It all depends on who is smarter. And it looks like Timberwolf's trying to snap Grant's leg off!

{ring}
Grant is yelling in pain as the referee asks him if he's going to give up. Grant gives the referee a negative.

{commentary}
Michael Richardson: Doesn't look like he's ready to give up just yet.

Nicholas Chase: I don't think that's a very good idea on his part.

{ring}
Timberwolf finally releases the hold, and both wrestlers are back to their feet fairly quickly. Timperwolf had just a little extra time on his hands, so he quickly goes up to Grant and locks on a front facelock. Immediately thereafter, he spun around into a backspin DDT, planting Grant's head firmly into the canvas. He receives a mild reaction from the audience for the maneuver.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Wow... in these matches I guess even if you're just a little more prepared than your opponent that it goes a long way.

Michael Richardson: I can agree with that. I feel that sometimes these newcomers underestimate just what they have to do to beat their opponent. They may think they are facing someone who isn't prepared when in fact that person may have their number.

{ring}
Timberwolf now picks up Grant and hooks him up for what looks like it is going to be a suplex.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Wait a second! You think this cruiserweight is going to be able to do this?

Michael Richardson: Suplex him you mean? Well, I've seen larger weight differences before where the little guy was able to pull it off.

Nicholas Chase: I think he's going for his finisher.

{ring}
Timberwolf visibly strains as he hoists Grant into the air. He doesn't get him up to a full vertical position, however, but it is just enough for him to change the suplex into a piledriver, though it ended up looking a little sloppy. Timberwolf also looks as if he hurt himself after executing the maneuver, but nevertheless he covers his opponent.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: That was "The Wolf's Bite"! This could be it! One! Two! Three! He got him! Look at that, Mike!

Michael Richardson: That was impressive!

{ring}
[Timberwolf's arm is raised in victory.]

Ring Announcer: And here is your winner... Thorne Timberwolf!

Nicholas Chase has a big smile on his face as Michael Richardson looks on with his normal plesant expression.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: You ever notice how big men have never _really_ gotten that far in this federation?

Michael Richardson: I don't know... Kain Piller, Assassin, "Iron Man" Jeff Beam and Dominator of Destruction have all done very well.

Nicholas Chase: True... but how many more little guys have done better? You remember how Suicide shocked the world and destroyed Piller? Or remember the most feared Heavyweight Champion of all time, the Evil Lord Pelius? How about Malibu Mike Donovan? There's also been "Godly" Ken Davison, "Hip Hop" Paul Pickney, Heartbreak Kris, Beantown Bully, Jason Agony, Backbreaker, and a lot of others. The list just goes on and on. All of those are people under six foot seven.

Michael Richardson: You really think Heartbreak Kris was a valid choice?

Nicholas Chase: The first two time CNWF Squared Champion whether we like it or not, Mike. I'm just stating the facts. Personally, I hate the guy... but he did do good while he was here.

Michael Richardson: True... and I guess that was back in the days when CNWF Squared had a lot of _huge_ guys.

Nicholas Chase: Exactly. It seems like the little guys rule this sport... and that's what I like to see. I don't always like watching these huge thugs push around my favorite wrestlers. The only tall wrestler that was ever worth anything was Kain Piller... but when you outsize the next biggest guy by a whole foot, that being Dominator of Destruction, you had better be good. The thing is Evil Lord Pelius was every bit as feared and every bit as tough as Kain Piller ever was... and he was only six foot four.

Michael Richardson: There's no doubt that Pelius at one time was without equal. But for now we're without those stars, so let's not dwell on the past.

Nicholas Chase: I'm just making the point that the little guys rule this sport.

Andrew 'Flash' Tucker is standing in one corner of the ring, resting against a shiny blue turnbuckle. In the other corner, "Showstoppa" Benjamin Wildfire is hyped up, waiting for the match to begin. The referee calls for the bell soon enough.

{ring}
Benjamin Wildfire is standing, waiting for Tucker to make a move. Flash moves very quickly in executing a drop kick that Wildfire can't move away from in time and is leveled to the canvas. Tucker poses for the crowd while Wildfire tries to regroup.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Wow! Did you see the speed of that dropkick? That was unbelievable!

Michael Richardson: Indeed it was. I don't know if anyone could have gotten away from that one. I think Flash should pay more attention to this match than to his fans.

Nicholas Chase: Tucker has this match won already.

{ring}
Tucker already moves to one side of the ring, waiting for Wildfire to get back up to his feet. As soon as he does, Flash sidesteps very quickly to Wildfire and delivers a very solid crescent kick. He falls down on top of Wildfire for the cover.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Oh my God! That was the Quicksilver already! Unbelievable!

Michael Richardson: He's going for the cover! One! Two! Three! He got him!

{ring}
The referee raises Tucker's arm in victory.

{ringside}
Ring Announcer: And here is your winner, Andrew 'Flash' Tucker!

{arena}
There is a good amount of cheering for Tucker as his victory is announced.

Nicholas Chase: Look at that! Yet another very good match! That was unbelievably quick.

Michael Richardson: That's the thing about these five minute time limit matches. You have to have your opponent well scouted out in order to come out on top. The wrestlers no longer have to pace themselves to come out on top... they just have to let loose with everything they have in a short amount of time in order to hope to win before time is up. I think the audience likes these faster matches as well.

Nicholas Chase: See? That's the spirit! But there can only be a small difference in ability between two wrestlers competing in a five minute time limit match, but that small difference could be enough to result in a total slaughter like what we just saw right here. These matches show who wants to win more.

Michael Richardson: I have to say I really thought Wildfire was going to put up a much better showing. I mean you should have seen him preparing for this match. You can't say he didn't try. But I guess once again newcomers a lot of times just don't understand just what it takes to win a match here in the CNWF Squared.

Nicholas Chase: You're right. That Wildfire does have potential. It's just against a guy like Flash Tucker, he's in pretty bad shape.

{cut to shot of the ring}
HeadHunter is currently in the ring, but soon enough Beantown Bully slides in under the bottom rope, then leaps at HeadHunter, tackling him to the canvas. The referee has no choice but to ring the bell to start the match.

The former World Heavyweight Champion, Beantown Bully, is landing vicious blows to HeadHunter's face. The referee is frantically trying to break it up.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Alright! Go Bully!

Michael Richardson: I thought you weren't a Bully fan.

Nicholas Chase: I'm not. But I hate HeadHunter a million times more than I hate Bully. It's a foregone conclusion who I'm voting for. To me, this is like watching Jesus Christ battle Satan.

Michael Richardson: You mean like on South Park?

Nicholas Chase: Well... hey! You're trying to be funny! I like that. Just next time say something that actually is funny.

{ring}
Bully finally lets go of HeadHunter, but that's after throwing him back to the canvas. HeadHunter groggily gets back up to his feet, but only to be met by a powerful belly to belly suplex from the Bully.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Whoa! Bully isn't taking this guy lightly at all! He's destroying him!

Michael Richardson: This is going to be another quick match.

{cut to ringside shot}
Dominator of Destruction can be seen making his way to the ring. It isn't long before he makes it to the ring apron. Dominator, however, stops there.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Oh no. I hope Dominator isn't here to help out HeadHunter. That will just make me sick!

Michael Richardson: I hope not as well.

{cut to shot of the ring}
As Headhunter gets up, Bully whips him to the ropes. As he comes off, Bully easily lifts him into the air, and executes a perfect spinebuster to the much larger man.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: That Beantown Bully is one tough cookie! Look at that power! I think I'm going to go out there and personally kick Dominator's ass if he ruins this one!

Michael Richardson: That was the Beantown Beatdown folks, and now he's going for a cover and one... two... three! An _easy_ victory for the Bully!

Nicholas Chase: That's what the Underfaker gets!

{ring}
Before the Bully's arm can be raised in victory, Bully starts stomping a mudhole in HeadHunter. The referee tries getting him away from HeadHunter, but is pushed authoritatively out of the way. He then resumes his stomping. Soon enough, Dominator of Destruction enters the ring and gets in Bully's way. There is a mixtrure of booing and cheering at this point.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: Oh no! I can't believe Dominator's doing this! He's saving HeadHunter! Why would he do that?

Michael Richardson: I really have no idea, but it doesn't seem to be a very popular decision with this crowd.

{ring}
Bully and Dominator immediately get into what appears to be a heated argument. After a bit, Bully storms out of the ring and begins stomping back to the exit. Dominator then helps up HeadHunter and walks out of the ring with him. The booing gets louder at this point though there is still a good amount of cheering as well.

{commentary}
Nicholas Chase: This is disgusting! I can't believe he's doing this!

Michael Richardson: Dominator's a good sport. This doesn't surprise me at all.
There is a good amount of cheering for Tucker as his victory is announced.

{cut to aisleway shot}
Dominator is still helping HeadHunter back to the locker room. Then all of a sudden he gets behind HeadHunter and holds him as if waiting for someone to attack him. At about the same time, Beantown Bully turns around and runs right at HeadHunter and headbutts him in the gut. The entire audience begins thundering with cheers. Beantown then grabs HeadHunter around the waist and executes yet another "Beantown Beatdown", but this time on the cold concrete floor. The cheering is tremendous.

{commentary}
Michael Richardson: Oh no! It was a setup!

Nicholas Chase: Oh yes! Look at this! Dominator was just handed a chair from a fan!

{aisleway}
Sure enough, the camera shows a fan wearing a black "Dominator of Destruction" t-shirt adorned with a picture of DoD holding the world in both hands looking as if he is about to crush it. The fan is handing Dominator a chair to use against HeadHunter. Dominator obligingly takes the chair, and as he turns around to smash HeadHunter's head in, the fan pats him on the back, then picks up his "DoD Rulez" poster and starts yelling his approval of Dominator's actions.

Bully is now holding HeadHunter as Dominator swings the chair at him. HeadHunter however, barely ducks the blow at the last second, making it seem like he is going to hit Bully. Dominator is able to stop the swing of the chair just before he lands it against Bully's face.

HeadHunter at this time is trying to get away but as he does so, Bully and Dominator each take an end of the steel chair and run at HeadHunter. They both clothesline him down to the floor using the chair.

{commentary}
Michael Richardson: I can't believe he's doing this!

Nicholas Chase: I'm glad he is, though.

{aisleway}
Bully has given the chair back to Dominator as they stand over the fallen HeadHunter. Bully starts stomping on HeadHunter's chest while Dominator lands vicious chair shots to his head. It isn't long before HeadHunter's face is bleeding due to the many chair shots.

{commentary}
Michael Richardson: We have to go to a commercial break now. We can't stay with this.

Nicholas Chase: Well, the viewers can't but we can! Don't touch that dia...
