Monday, June 26th 2000: Monday Night Mutilation Card #10 - Match #3 Gothic Vs. SuperBeast Vs. Shadow Authour: Alexander Michael Quinn (LimousineDriver) [President] Match: Hell in the Cell w/ Weapons. Rules: None. Titles: European Title. Commentators: Iaian McBride, James Colburn ____________________________________________________________________ McBride: Wow, what a night! We've had some pretty cool stuff so far, although that evening dress match between Chrono and DAND was kind of... Colburn: Not right? McBride: Well, actually the only scary thing was how good DAND turned out over Chrono, yet still lost. Colburn: ...... McBride: What? Colburn: You got beaten up for that comment, I'm surprised you're still making wisecracks. McBride: My head hurts? Colburn: Anyway, it's time for our next match! I can hardly wait! McBride: Yeah, man, we're gonna have *another* Hell in the Cell with Weapons! Colburn: Yeah! But this is a Triple Threat Match! McBride: Yeah! With a title on the line! Colburn: And Yeah! Gothic is gonna be in this one! Wow, we have never seen the guy in action. McBride: Neither have I. Too be honest, even with all the time I spend with those guys, I have never seen him fight ever. Colburn: This should be a real treat then, let's see if his famed reputation can hold up against the savageness of SuperBeast! McBride: I dunno, but this will be one heck of a match! Colburn: Oh, I'm so thrilled that I'm getting goosebumps. Okay, well the Cell has been placed over the ring. McBride: Yeah, now we...wait a minute. Colburn: What? McBride: If Alex is missing and Gothic is wrestling...who's announcing?! (The Havoc Viewscreen flickers on. Nadia is sitting on the desk and is looking at the camera with a smile.) Nadia: Gee, even with all that persuasion, I didn't get too many title matches, but who cares? I got this one, and boy do I ever pity Shadow. Let's start this off by introducing the wild man himself, SuperBeast! ("Of Wolf and Man" begins to play over the speakers. A large metal cage is brought out and men with tasers are standing by. They go to open the door, but the door is sliced open by SuperBeast's metal claws. The guys scream and run away in fear. SuperBeast howls and runs into the ring.) Nadia: (smiles) That was a surprise! (laughs) Okay, well the next one is the man we all are going to be pitying tonight, Shadow! ("Du Hast" begins to play on the surround sound and a bright light is shone on the ramp. A dark figure is standing there. The lights go out and explosions erupt around the ring, Shadow is walking into the cell carrying a black serrated Chinese blade.) Nadia: Ick, I hate that guy! (The audience boos and Nadia joins them) Nadia: But I digress (laughs). Now the next one is a man who really needs no introduction to any of us, Gothic! (No music is heard. Wind begins to flow softly over the speakers, followed by the sound of rain and lightning. The skylight overhead to the arena is opened (about 200ft wide) and lights are shone on the clouds. Blood begins to cascade down the stairs and into a drain at the bottom. A low chant can be heard over the speakers and the lights fall from the clouds to follow a black object descending at an incredible speed. It impacts the floor, causing a large vertical explosion. The audience begins to scream and Gothic is standing where the explosion used to be. Instead of his business suit, he's wearing a black Reverend outfit with a painted face and his Dragon's amulet around his neck. In his hands, he's holding a metallic bo-staff. His overcoat is lying on the steps.) Nadia: ...scream? Well, you guys have fun. McBride: Do we have mics on James? Colburn: Sure, just a sec (he hits the button). (Gothic steps into the ring and points directly at Shadow. SuperBeast is staring between the two, wondering just what's gonna happen between the two. The bell rings.) McBride: And here we go! Wait a minute, nothing's happening? Colburn: Gothic is just pointing at Shadow with a smile on his face. Shadow doesn't seem to be too pleased about fighting Gothic anymore. (In the ring, SuperBeast just shrugs and goes after Gothic with a growl. Gothic holds out his hand.) Gothic: STOP! (Amazingly, SuperBeast stops in his tracks.) SuperBeast: What's your problem (growls)? Gothic: I want him first. Shadow: Bring it on. (Gothic leaps towards Shadow, Shadow brings the blade down against Gothic's staff, both of them leaving sparks. The impact was so hard however, that Shadow got knocked back against the cell. Gothic begins to spin his staff and Shadow tries to parry everything that's coming at him, but how can he when the staff is just a blur?) Colburn: Man, SuperBeast isn't even getting involved...that's a first. McBride: He probably has too much respect for Gothic to go against his wishes. Besides, this is an ample opportunity for him to observe Gothic, considering that he'll probably never get another chance. Colburn: Good point. Always the hunter with him. (Gothic knocks the blade out of Shadow's hand without even blinking an eye. The blur continues and we hear battering and bruising of Shadow's legs, arms, and chest. He starts to cough up blood horribly, the blows were hard enough to hurt to the bone. Shadow manages to dodge out of the way before Gothic brings his staff down and makes a hole in the mat. Shadow picks up his blade and looks back at Gothic.) Shadow: Is that the...(cough)...best you can do? Gothic: Shut up and die! (Back to the table) McBride: Dude, Gothic is one fast guy! Colburn: No wonder no one f*cks with him, now we know why!!! (In the ring. SuperBeast finally decides to get involved, but suddenly a nightstick splits up through the mat and cuts open SuperBeast's foot. SuperBeast jumps in surprise and Virus comes up through the ring carrying his nightstick.) Virus: TUMOUR! SuperBeast: Aw, great, not this again... (Back at the table.) McBride: Dude, interference! Colburn: This just keeps getting better... (SuperBeast and Virus clash against eachother, but SuperBeast wins the test of strength, knocking Virus back a bit. SuperBeast jumps up and slices part of the cage ceiling, grabs onto that and swings down, driving his feet into Virus' chest. SuperBeast manages to roll and knock Virus in the feet, sending him forward, however Virus doesn't miss a beat and manages to hold his nightstick in front of him, smashing it against SuperBeast's left leg.) McBride: Wow, great stuff! Colburn: Hey, look at Gothic and Shadow. Shadow's beginning to sweat, but Gothic is just laughing, even though he's bleeding?! McBride: Dude, Gothic got that serrated blade across his legs, and he's still *toying* with Shadow?! (Gothic spins in close and manages to elbow Shadow in the chest, the strength sending Shadow into the cage with an incredible force. Shadow's outfit has a visible crusted trail of blood going down the front. Gothic has barely broken a sweat.) Gothic: (sighs) This is it. Oh well, I tire of this game. (Shadow looks up and see's Gothic's staff expand to be double-bladed. Gothic just laughs and grabs Shadow by the throat, he then throws Shadow up and proceeds to shred Shadow with his staff.) McBride: Dude! Colburn: Dude! McBride: ...I'll let that one slide. (Shadow hits the ground, minor cuts and lacerations cover his entire body. He breaks out in a cold sweat, realizing that Gothic allowed him to live. Suddenly, Gothic's staff falls apart to reveal a chain in the center, turning it into a chain whip. Gothic takes the one end and hooks it around Shadow's neck, the blade sticking into Shadow's thigh. Gothic pulls back, and Shadow is dangling in front of him, choking on the whip. Meanwhile, Virus has managed to climb the part of the cage which SuperBeast tore down. SuperBeast is still on the ground, trying to walk off the pain that Virus brought to SuperBeast's leg with the nightstick.) Colburn: Hey! What's Virus up to? McBride: I don't know, but SuperBeast is down at the---oh wait, what's this? Colburn: SuperBeast is shaking the cage, and Virus is starting to--no, he just fell off! McBride: And lands on SuperBeast's fist with his back. Colburn: That's one way to break a fall. Ah, he doesn't need that kidney anyway. McBride: ...right. Dude, you worry me. (Virus rolls away in pain and manages to slip back down his created hole. SuperBeast stands up, the bleeding from his foot caused Virus to soak his back in it. Suddenly, a large booming voice is heard.) DAND: Shadow! You will pay! (DAND is standing there in his torn dress, his injuries set from the last match. DAND is still wearing the make-up on his face. Shadow is still dangling by Gothic's chain, but Gothic releases him and throws him against the cage.) Gothic: Have fun DAND, I know I did. (Back to the table.) McBride: Dude, more interference! Colburn: It's DAND! Who looks more like...Samantha at the moment. McBride: Aw, I don't need more of this! I'm gonna be sick! Colburn: DAND has climbed up the cage and jumped down the hole that Virus created. Gothic turns towards SuperBeast who is stumbling in pain. McBride: Aw man, Gothic's has one opponent left, and he's in bad shape! (Gothic takes his weapon and retracts it into a small hilt. He then drops the weapon and goes at SuperBeast bare-handed. SuperBeast takes the cue and detaches his gloves to go at Gothic the same way. Gothic stands back into an offensive stance, and SuperBeast crouches down and growls. Meanwhile, Virus is coming out of the hole in the floor and is slowly crawling toward the hole in the cage ceiling.) McBride: Wow, SuperBeast lept at Gothic and Gothic took it, and turned it right around into some sort of backflip suplex! SuperBeast wasn't even expecting that! Colburn: DAND is just beating the living sh*t out of Shadow. Shadow is up against the cage and the cage is shaking because DAND's punches are so f*cking hard! Man, I don't even think Shadow is conscious anymore! (Shadow is literally flailing against the cage on DAND's fists, he's lost all consciousness and is just bleeding. DAND won't stop however and just seems to have a grin on his face, amidst the flying blood. SuperBeast leaps at Gothic again and Gothic makes an attempt to grab, however SuperBeast manages to fall short and land in front of Gothic, tackling him from underneath and driving him into the wall. Virus has finally managed to get to the top, watching the two fight below him. Gothic drives his feet into SuperBeast's chest, but not before he latches onto SuperBeast's head and manage a forward flip/roundhouse kick delivered to SuperBeast's chest and head. SuperBeast gets knocked back a tremendous distance, hitting DAND in the back which causes him to lurch forward and fall on top of Shadow's mangled body.) McBride: Wow! What a kick! Colburn: Still, he's lucky to have landed that with the major wound across his knees. I'm surprised Gothic can even still stand. McBride: Oh look out! Virus jumps down from the cage and brings the nightstick across Gothic's back! Colburn: Gothic is down, and probably out. (SuperBeast and DAND look at eachother, then look at Virus and smile. SuperBeast rushes Virus, but DAND gets pulled down by an arm on his shoulder; it's Shadow. Shadow opens his mouth and bites into DAND's leg, the surprise alone was enough for him to fall down. Virus meets SuperBeast head on with the nightstick, hitting SuperBeast across the chest, his ribs making a very distinctable crack.) McBride: Ouch, SuperBeast took a major hit! Colburn: Yeah, no kidding. DAND kicks Shadow in the head and proceeds to beat the sh*t out of him once again! Man, I'm pretty sure this time he'll stay down! (Gothic slowly gets back up, but Virus brings the nightstick down on his back, sending him to the floor. On the other end of the cage, DAND has finally finished taking out Shadow. DAND picks Shadow up and jumps up through the hole.) McBride: Hey, hey! What's DAND up to? Colburn: Looks like he's grabbing things from underneath the ring to find out what noise they'll make against Shadow's head. McBride: This is sadistic! Apparently the referee agrees with me. (The ref goes over to DAND and tells him off. DAND just smiles and nods. He picks up Shadow and then gorilla presses him into the ref. DAND just wipes off the rest of the lipstick and walks out.) Colburn: Wow, that ref doesn't look too happy. McBride: Yeah, he's struggling to get Shadow's body off him! Colburn: Hey look! Gothic got up? Holy crap! McBride: Dude, Virus and SuperBeast have been beating the sh*t out of eachother, although SuperBeast doesn't seem to be winning to well. (In the cage.) SuperBeast: GROWL! (Table) Colburn: Come again? McBride: Nevermind. (SuperBeast charges into Virus with his elbow, and Virus can't manage to block it in time, sending him up against the cage with such force that the entire cage is actually knocked off the hinges and falls inwards, causing it to slant along the top. SuperBeast has Virus up against the cage, beating Virus with the nightstick which is still in Virus' hand! Virus manages to duck at the last second before it hits his head, does the splits and punches SuperBeast in the groin.) Colburn: Low blow! McBride: That's just cheap! (SuperBeast howls in pain and stumbles back. Virus starts to walk towards SuperBeast, but a chain whips around his neck and spins him to the ground. Chunks of flesh are ripped from his neck, causing him to bleed so badly that he just tries to crawl away. Some flunkies arrive on the scene [Editor's Note to Virus: Remember your e-mail.], crawl through the holes in the cage and carry Virus out. Gothic just watches them do all of this with his eyebrow raised. SuperBeast lunges at Gothic and puts him into a spinning neckbreaker before either of them can blink.) Colburn: Woah! Speed and in pain too! McBride: Gothic is down on the ground, seems he's still suffering from those upper back injuries. Colburn: Well, no sh*t, it was only a f*cking nightstick!!! McBride: Dude, geeze. (SuperBeast takes Virus' nightstick. Gothic gets up and just laughes at his opponent. SuperBeast takes the nightstick and cracks it across Gothic's own ribs. Gothic just looks down and continues laughing. SuperBeast takes another swing, putting his whole body into it, but Gothic stops it with one hand and twists SuperBeast into a hold. Gothic then slips SuperBeast's left arm through his legs and causes him to somersault onto his back, impacting the ground. Gothic takes the nightstick and begins to severely beat SuperBeast, cracking bones and poking holes everywhere!) McBride: Dude, Gothic's killing him! Colburn: Man, that's enough bruises and broken bones to last at least a month! McBride: This could be the end of SuperBeast's wrestling career. (Gothic stops beating SuperBeast and stands back. SuperBeast coughes up *a lot* of blood and tries to stand up. We can tell that his hands have been broken, his ribs are all broken, and he's purple or drenched in blood over his entire body. SuperBeast stands up with knees buckling. Gothic takes one last swing at SuperBeast's head.) SuperBeast: NO! (He grabs the nightstick and punches Gothic in the face, even with the broken hand.) (Table) McBride: Wow, Gothic was actually stunned by that from a weakened punch? Colburn: I think it's more surprise. McBride: Probably. SuperBeast has the nightstick now and breaks it across Gothic's arm! Wow, the nightstick broke from all the painful use it's been getting! Colburn: Well, Gothic's arm is definitely broken, but he doesn't even seem to notice. (Gothic axehandles SuperBeast in the head, knocking him down to his knees. SuperBeast looks up into Gothic's eyes, while Gothic leans down and kisses SuperBeast's forehead, leaving a lipstick mark from his make-up.) McBride: Dude? (Gothic picks SuperBeast up by the Adam's apple, causing him to choke horribly, and then jumps up with SuperBeast and slams him into the ceiling with his feet, flipping over and choke-slamming him into the ground. SuperBeast is finally knocked out. Gothic just stands up, covered in blood and bleeding from his nose and mouth. He stumbles out of the cage and goes into his overcoat.) McBride: Dude?? (Gothic reaches into his overcoat and pulls out the European Title which he had all along. All the blood begins to drain down the hole [Editor's note: enough blood there to keep a hospital running for a good day]. Gothic walks back to SuperBeast's unconscious body.) Gothic: (throws the belt at SuperBeast) No man has ever been able to stand that kind of pain and still live. From this day forth, I will see you in a different eye. (Table) McBride: Dude! Colburn: Well, Gothic is just walking out. Man, I can't make sense of what just took place here. McBride: All I know is that highlights next week is gonna be a real b*tch.
