SRW Title Fatal 4-Way No.1 Contenders Match:
Chris Jericho (Figo) vs. Stone Cold (Jericho15) vs. Chris Benoit (Grandprix) vs. The Rock (Starlight – if he can make it)
Written by LL Cool TT
Ladies and gentlemen, you see it right there, we have a Fatal 4-Way No.1 Contender’s match, starring Y2J(Figo), Stone Cold(Jericho15), Chris Benoit(Grandprix), and, if he can make it…The Rock(Starlight)!
We will soon know if The Rock(Starlight) can make the match, as Howard Finkel steps to the centre of the ring…
Finkel: Good evening one and all! Tonight, you will see a number 1 contender declared for the Undisputed SRW Championship!
*Crowd cheers wildly*
Finkel: Introducing the first challenger…
*5…4…3…2…1…*
And Chris Jericho(Figo) has arrived, but the crowd don’t want to hear it! They are booing Chris Jericho as loudly as they can, as he heads down to the ring!
Finkel: Making his way to the ring, from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada…Y2J…Chris, Jericho!
He surveys the crowd on the ring apron, before stepping into the ring and bouncing off the ropes in preparation for the huge match.
*Glass smashes*
The crowd has gone ballistic as that Texas drunk hits the ring!
Finkel: Hailing from Victoria, Texas…the Texas Rattlesnake himself…Stone Cold, Steve Austin(Jericho15)!
I can’t hear myself or Finkel, all I can hear are these fans, screaming like little girls! Austin is completely over with the fans, perhaps even more so than the late nineties, and that is astounding!
*Electric guitar screeching*
The fans have recovered after that exposure - there’s no other way to put it, folks - to Stone Cold(Jericho15), and are now not quite cheering, but more paying their respects to this master technician with cheering but also applause, not something you’d usually expect from our SRW fans!
Finkel: From the wrestling capital of the world, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada…the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)!
The three men in the ring stare each other down, as we wait for the confirmation of The Rock(Starlight)’s ability to wrestle here tonight…it would be a great loss to the proceedings tonight if he were unable to participate…but here we lie in wait of that legendary phrase…
*IF YA SMMMMMMEEEEEELLLLLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN’!*
He’s here! He is able to wrestle, and here he comes- oh God, no! It’s not The Rock(Starlight), it’s RVD(AfroJoe)! He’s dressed up in typical Rocky attire, mocking the People’s Champ!
RVD: Right, right, cut that damn music! I’m out here to tell all of you that your fourth competitor in this match will NOT be The Rock(Starlight)! And this is why…play the tape, dammit, play the tape!
*Tape plays of their non-title match last week, conveniently only showing RVD attacking The Rock and throwing him through the light tubes and such*
RVD: You see, The Rock(Starlight) has injured his back. Yep, that’s thanks to your best friend, Mr. Monday Night, Rob – Van – Dam! He WILL NOT be able to wrestle here tonight, but you know who can? That’s right, it’s R – V – D!
What the-?! How can Van Dam(AJ) wrestle in this number 1 contender’s match-up? How the heck does that work?!
RVD: This is what’s gonna happen, dudes, I’m going to gracefully take the place of Rocky(Starlight) for the match tonight, and if – more like ‘when’ – I win, I won’t have to defend my title at Burnout! So, man, let’s get going!
What? How? Why? RVD(AJ) makes his way down to the ring, but how could this be sanctioned by SRW? He slides into the ring, as the other three men watch on, and RVD begins to stare them down. This is one of THE biggest rouses I’ve ever had the shame to bare witness of! Referee Mike Chiota manages to get all four men into separate corners, as this match begins.
DING! DING! DING!
Immediately the action begins! Flying forearm by Y2J(Figo) to Benoit(Grandprix)! Spinning heel kick from Van Dam(AJ) to Y2J(Figo)! Huge clothesline from Austin(Jericho15) to RVD(AJ)! All four men now get back up into their respective corners. Here’s how this fatal 4-way match will work – there will be only two men in the ring at once, at every man will have the chance to tag out. The match will be won be a single pinfall or submission, and the referee has the power to eliminate any wrestler who is eligible for disqualification from this match. OK, we begin with Chris Benoit(Grandprix) and Stone Cold Steve Austin(Jericho15) facing off, as RVD(AJ) and Jericho(Figo) watch from their respective corners.
Benoit(Grandprix) and Austin(Jericho15) lock together in a collar and elbow tie-up, and then they separate. Tie-up again, and they separate once more. Yet another tie-up, and now they circle the ring in a test of strength, before Austin gets Benoit(Grandprix) in a front headlock, to which Benoit replies with a high backdrop! Austin(Jericho15) wasn’t expecting that! Austin gets back to his feet, but is met by a hammerlock from Benoit; Austin moves into a hammerlock of his own; Benoit forward rolls out of it, puts Austin back into a hammerlock, but now grabs the arm and turns it into an arm breaker! Fantastic technique used by Benoit, who now tags in Jericho(Figo)! Y2J immediately lands some stiff kicks to the gut of Austin, and now gets into Austin’s face! Oh God, he’s slapping Austin all around his mush! Have some respect! Austin replies with a rake to the eyes of Y2J, and now, with Y2J on his knees, Austin- OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOOD LORD JESUS! Austin just booted, and I mean booted Y2J right in between the eyes! Urgh, Jericho(Figo) is bleeding all over his face thanks to that disgusting kick by Austin, and referee Chiota doesn’t know what to do at this point.
RVD(AJ) blind tags Austin(Jericho15) and now heads towards the injured Jericho(Figo) , but is kneeling down next to Y2J, seemingly helping him out…?! This is a side of Rob Van Dam that we have not been able to see for quite a while now, but he seems to be helping the injured Canadian. This is a compassionate side- NO! Eye rake to Jericho, and now RVD slams his face into the mat, grinding it onto the canvas! These evil acts are frankly disturbing and I’m not sure I want to watch them! With Jericho(Figo) lying motionless and absolutely helpless, RVD bounces off the ropes and hits a giant leg-drop on Jericho! RVD(AJ) turns Y2J over into the first cover of this match:
1
2- But Austin(Jericho15) grabs RVD(AJ)’s hair, throws Van Dam away, and stamps right on Jericho(Figo)’s nose!! For God’s sake, this ain’t wrestling! Someone get that thug out of there! The worst thing is that the fans are cheering for this unbridled brutality! Austin is so over with the men and women at ringside that they’ll actually applaud him for assaulting a young man! Good God, this really does scrape the barrel of taste and decency, doesn’t it? RVD gets up and stares down Austin, to which Austin replies with the classic middle fingers! RVD is frustrated, but his attention to Austin has resulted in Jericho being able to get up and tag in Chris Benoit(Grandprix), who quickly clothesline RVD(AJ) out his boots! Wonderful hooking clothesline by Benoit there, all technique! He picks up the arrogant RVD, and pushes him into one of the free corners, where he grabs the left arm, and wraps it around the top rope. Benoit steps out to the apron, still grasping that left arm, but now takes the right arm of RVD and puts that into a half nelson! Tremendous technique used by the Rabid Wolverine! RVD is screaming in acute pain, but the referee has now come to his aid, and administers the 5-count:
1
2
3
4
Benoit(Grandprix) breaks the hold, but grabs RVD(AJ) again, takes the left arm, and drags it along the top rope! Mike Chiota is not liking this, so is telling Benoit to relinquish his hold of RVD’s left arm; Chris Benoit leaps and hangs the left arm out to dry on the top rope! RVD is literally wailing in pain on the mat, and Benoit now re-enters the ring, and goes for the second cover of this already controversial match:
1
2
Austin(Jericho15) again breaks up the count, but heads over to Jericho(Figo) again, with a menacing look in his eyes, he squares up and hits the dizzy Jericho with a huge right-hand to the cheek-bone! For God’s sakes! Someone MUST eject this thug from the match, surely! Austin is raising hell tonight, all over Jericho’s face! Mike Chiota is pushing Austin(Jericho15) back into his corner, as he tries to keep order in this mad match. RVD(AJ) is still nursing that left arm, which you’ve gotta think Chris Benoit(Grandprix) is attacking in preparation for that deadly Crippler Crossface, but we just don’t know. RVD(AJ) tries to get up, but Benoit just grabs that arm again, and forces RVD down with a great FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Consider it a Crossface minus the neck crank, and that is what’s happening to RVD, as his arm gets ripped out from its socket. Benoit seems to want to end this match right now, but Austin(Jericho15) interjects himself yet again, this time taking Van Dam(AJ)’s right arm, and FLIPPING OVER THE BACK OF RVD , RIPPING THAT ARM! This hellacious manoeuvre almost broke RVD’s right arm, but it also disrupted the Fujiwara armbar Benoit applied to Van Dam prior to that. Austin runs back to his corner, and is now begging for the tag from Benoit…
Benoit(Grandprix) tags in Austin(Jericho15), and holds RVD(AJ) for Austin to pummel, but Austin smacks Benoit instead! He’s picked up Benoit, and has thrown him over the top rope! Austin now turns his attention back to RVD, grabs the injured left arm, whips RVD towards Jericho(Figo)’s corner, hangs on though, whips RVD towards the opposite corner, holds on again, and now throws Van Dam(AJ) towards Jericho’s corner – BAM! RVD smacked into Jericho, knocking him off the apron! Austin has started shouting at the referee, clapping his hands; I guess he must think that RVD tagged in Jericho!
*CLAP!*
Chiota has declared that a legal tag! Jericho(Figo) is now in with his nemesis, the wild Austin(Jericho15), who has set about him for no reason whatsoever! Austin scrambles to the outside, looking to get his hands on his newest target, but Jericho is running away faster than the proverbial cheetah being chased by the metaphorical lion! RVD(AJ) has taken notice of this chase, rests against a rope, and now runs towards the centre of the ring…he leaps over the top! SOMERSAULT PLANCHA TO THE OUTSIDE, KNOCKING DOWN THE RUNNING AUSTIN! You can’t say that that attack was fake, or cushioned, or any of that! RVD threw himself into the side of Austin(Jericho15)’s head! Jericho has slid back into the ring, unaware of the presence of Chris Benoit, right behind him – CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! Benoit has hooked his hands right on the bloodied and bruised section of Y2J(Figo)’s face! The pain must be unreal! Jericho is tapping like a Morse code telegrapher, but it’s not legal, Jericho is NOT the legal man! Mike Chiota somehow manages to break up the hold, leaving Benoit to return to his corner of the ring.
RVD(AJ) has now also gotten back to his corner, meaning that this match can continue, as soon as Austin(Jericho15) is able to get back into the ring, because at the moment he is OUT. Mike Chiota is out of the ring at the moment, trying to hoist Austin back into the ring, but he’s not having much success. Benoit(Grandprix), being the gentleman he is, lifts the near unconscious Steve Austin back into the ring, before getting back to his corner. Jericho is almost completely out of it himself, but is slowly climbing towards the Rattlesnake…he’s covered him! Chiota counts:
1
2
KICK OUT BY AUSTIN! Austin(Jericho15), much to the distress of Jericho and to the joy of the fans, is not out of it yet. Jericho is looking very worried, and so goes over to tag out to RVD, but RVD jumps off the apron, refusing the tag! Oh yeah, now that’s the stature of our Undisputed Champion, ladies and gentlemen! Jericho, struggling to walk and needing the ropes for support, begs for the tag out to Benoit, who takes Jericho’s extended arm, but drops it on the top rope! That’s not a legal tag, declares referee Mike Chiota, and so it looks as though Jericho is stuck without a friend in the world, as he looks at the crowd, who are cruelly laughing and taunting the beaten up Canadian son of a gun. Austin is now recovering slowly, and seems to be able to stand after that decapitating plancha by RVD(AJ), and Austin is heading for his prey. Jericho runs towards RVD and manages to tag in the champ, who looks apprehensive as Austin just stares at him, as if he was Hitler himself.
Austin(Jericho15), instead of attacking the wounded RVD(AJ), is content with tagging out to Chris Benoit(Grandprix) for this latest chapter in this match. Benoit fakes a charge at RVD, who recoils comedically, much to the amusement of the fans. Benoit looks to be in the best shape of his life, and is as fresh as a ripe pomegranate, as he stalks the wounded champ…RVD charges towards Benoit, but Benoit sidesteps out of the way, and RVD bounces off the ropes; Benoit goes for a clothesline, but RVD ducks; both men off the ropes, RVD attempts a cross-body, but Benoit gets wise and ducks that, resulting in RVD(AJ) tumbling to the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is happy to take advantage, and so picks the injured RVD off the floor, hooks him up; SNAP SUPLEX! In comes Austin(Jericho15), but he gets caught; SNAP SUPLEX ONTO RVD! Jericho(Figo) wisely stays out of this mess, as Benoit picks Austin up and throws him to the concrete outside! RVD(AJ) gets up, though, and hits a wondrous spinning heel kick! He now goes up to the top turnbuckle, kicks Jericho down, and readies himself to hit a huge aerial move of some variety onto Benoit…HIGH CROSS-BODY! Benoit has been taken down, into a pin:
1
2
KICK OUT! Benoit(Grandprix) kicks out from that move, but has it affected him that much? RVD(AJ) is still holding that left arm, but picks up Benoit, and positions him for a powerbomb…but now gets the arms in a double underhook…lifts Benoit up and hits A HUGE FACEBUSTER! Pedigree-like move there, and this could be it:
1
2
AUSTIN BREAKS UP THE COUNT! Austin(Jericho15) appeared from nowhere, and this match is still alive! Benoit(Grandprix) owes Austin for that, but now Austin has once again turned to Jericho(Figo) for amusement…he runs after him, around the ring, which looks scarily reminiscent of the earlier somersault plancha incident, but RVD is concentrating on trying to take down Benoit, because he doesn’t want to put the title on the line against anyone, let alone this beast, Chris Benoit. Benoit is currently on the mat, and now RVD takes advantage of this by putting Benoit in the MEXICAN SURFBOARD! Benoit will have to shift the centre of gravity to the side, to make RVD either break the hold or have his shoulders put on the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is in a bad position, and is struggling to get out of it, until Stone Cold(Jericho15) comes in and stamps hard of the chest of RVD(AJ), breaking the hold. Benoit doesn’t seem to have been too badly affected by the surfboard, which will be of great news to the various Benoit supporters, and Stone Cold’s lack of interest in the actual match continues as he hunts down Jericho.
Benoit(Grandprix) has noticed the Y2J-Austin situation, and has now entered himself into it. He’s gone outside, and confronts Jericho(Figo), who turns around and runs, only to be met with THE LOU THESZ PRESS FROM AUSTIN! Austin is actually pounding on Jericho with such force and power as to make Jericho scream for mercy! Benoit has had enough of that brawl already, and has returned to perhaps finish off RVD(AJ)? He runs at RVD, but is caught with a harsh spinning heel kick, leaving him in perfect placement for the Five Star, but what will it be? RVD runs towards the corner…SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT ON BENOIT! RVD refrains from going for the pinfall, however, instead favouring to return to the top turnbuckle…FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH- NO! Benoit caught the left arm of RVD on the dive down, and clapped on the Crippler Crossface! Jericho has somehow escaped from the clutches of Austin, in fact Austin(Jericho15) in rolling around the floor, clutching at his groin…guess what happened there? Jericho(Figo) is in, though, and has locked in the WALLS OF JERICHO ON RVD! Double submission on RVD(AJ)! But wait, here are those guys in the Grim Reaper costumes! They’ve taken Mike Chiota out of the ring, and now shots are raining down all around him! Chiota is out, and now it seems as though they’ve got their sights set on the other three competitors-
*IF YA SMMMEEEEELLLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN’!*
OH MY GOD! The Rock(Starlight) is back! And he’s got a referee’s shirt on! He’s taking out the Powers That Be with rights, spinebusters and now – ROCK BOTTOM! He turns around to the peril RVD finds himself in, and asks RVD if he wants to quit; RVD isn’t tapping, to his credit, but wait:
DING! DING! DING!
The Rock(Starlight) has called for the bell, even though RVD(AJ) didn’t tap! And who won? The Rock is talking to Howard Finkel, but I can’t hear what is being said…and now The Rock goes back to the centre of the ring, and holds the arms of both Jericho(Figo) and Benoit(Grandprix)…this isn’t a draw, is it?
Finkel: The referee has deemed the match…a victory for…
Who, dammit? Who?!
Finkel: …Chris…
Yes…
Finkel: …Benoit!
*Wild cheering from the fans*
Benoit(Grandprix) has done it! Chris Jericho(Figo) never really did enough to deserve the win after being beaten up by Austin(Jericho15), and RVD(AJ) shouldn’t even have been in the match in the first place! Well done to Chris Benoit(Grandprix), who goes on to face RVD(AJ) for the Undisputed SRW title at Burnout, under whatever stipulations he so wishes! Good night, everybody!
POST MATCH NOTES
Stone Cold has been revealed to have actually been hitting Chris Jericho, leading to Jericho needing to be taken to a local medical facility for reconstructive surgery. The following report was obtained from the New York Times:
“The professional wrestling promotion, SRW, is reeling after the revelations that the wrestler Steven Williams, known to millions as Stone Cold Steve Austin, was taken to the local jail after he was seen to be physically assaulting Chris Jericho, real name Chris Irvine, during a match at the latest edition of the weekly wrestling show, SRW Eclipse. Irvine required extensive reconstructive surgery to his face after Williams repeatedly punched and kicked him unnecessarily, and his position within the SRW promotion is in doubt. The company refused to issue a statement concerning this event, leading public figures to condemn the business.”
Stone Cold’s employment status is being considered, and Chris Jericho will require a mask for the next two months of competition.
***
Well, we have Benoit as our number 1 contender, a broken-faced Chris Jericho, a worried RVD and a public scandal for SRW as a whole. This leads me to beg that I need to continue both feuds, and give reasons for Austin’s assault on Jericho, which went unexplained. Anyway, cheers for reading.
Chris Jericho (Figo) vs. Stone Cold (Jericho15) vs. Chris Benoit (Grandprix) vs. The Rock (Starlight – if he can make it)

Ladies and gentlemen, you see it right there, we have a Fatal 4-Way No.1 Contender’s match, starring Y2J(Figo), Stone Cold(Jericho15), Chris Benoit(Grandprix), and, if he can make it…The Rock(Starlight)!
We will soon know if The Rock(Starlight) can make the match, as Howard Finkel steps to the centre of the ring…
Finkel: Good evening one and all! Tonight, you will see a number 1 contender declared for the Undisputed SRW Championship!
*Crowd cheers wildly*
Finkel: Introducing the first challenger…
*5…4…3…2…1…*
And Chris Jericho(Figo) has arrived, but the crowd don’t want to hear it! They are booing Chris Jericho as loudly as they can, as he heads down to the ring!
Finkel: Making his way to the ring, from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada…Y2J…Chris, Jericho!
He surveys the crowd on the ring apron, before stepping into the ring and bouncing off the ropes in preparation for the huge match.
*Glass smashes*
The crowd has gone ballistic as that Texas drunk hits the ring!
Finkel: Hailing from Victoria, Texas…the Texas Rattlesnake himself…Stone Cold, Steve Austin(Jericho15)!
I can’t hear myself or Finkel, all I can hear are these fans, screaming like little girls! Austin is completely over with the fans, perhaps even more so than the late nineties, and that is astounding!
*Electric guitar screeching*
The fans have recovered after that exposure - there’s no other way to put it, folks - to Stone Cold(Jericho15), and are now not quite cheering, but more paying their respects to this master technician with cheering but also applause, not something you’d usually expect from our SRW fans!
Finkel: From the wrestling capital of the world, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada…the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)!
The three men in the ring stare each other down, as we wait for the confirmation of The Rock(Starlight)’s ability to wrestle here tonight…it would be a great loss to the proceedings tonight if he were unable to participate…but here we lie in wait of that legendary phrase…
*IF YA SMMMMMMEEEEEELLLLLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN’!*
He’s here! He is able to wrestle, and here he comes- oh God, no! It’s not The Rock(Starlight), it’s RVD(AfroJoe)! He’s dressed up in typical Rocky attire, mocking the People’s Champ!
RVD: Right, right, cut that damn music! I’m out here to tell all of you that your fourth competitor in this match will NOT be The Rock(Starlight)! And this is why…play the tape, dammit, play the tape!
*Tape plays of their non-title match last week, conveniently only showing RVD attacking The Rock and throwing him through the light tubes and such*
RVD: You see, The Rock(Starlight) has injured his back. Yep, that’s thanks to your best friend, Mr. Monday Night, Rob – Van – Dam! He WILL NOT be able to wrestle here tonight, but you know who can? That’s right, it’s R – V – D!
What the-?! How can Van Dam(AJ) wrestle in this number 1 contender’s match-up? How the heck does that work?!
RVD: This is what’s gonna happen, dudes, I’m going to gracefully take the place of Rocky(Starlight) for the match tonight, and if – more like ‘when’ – I win, I won’t have to defend my title at Burnout! So, man, let’s get going!
What? How? Why? RVD(AJ) makes his way down to the ring, but how could this be sanctioned by SRW? He slides into the ring, as the other three men watch on, and RVD begins to stare them down. This is one of THE biggest rouses I’ve ever had the shame to bare witness of! Referee Mike Chiota manages to get all four men into separate corners, as this match begins.

The match will be won be a single pinfall or submission, and the referee has the power to eliminate any wrestler who is eligible for disqualification from this match. OK, we begin with Chris Benoit(Grandprix) and Stone Cold Steve Austin(Jericho15) facing off, as RVD(AJ) and Jericho(Figo) watch from their respective corners.

Austin just booted, and I mean booted Y2J right in between the eyes! Urgh, Jericho(Figo) is bleeding all over his face thanks to that disgusting kick by Austin, and referee Chiota doesn’t know what to do at this point.
RVD(AJ) blind tags Austin(Jericho15) and now heads towards the injured Jericho(Figo) , but is kneeling down next to Y2J, seemingly helping him out…?! This is a side of Rob Van Dam that we have not been able to see for quite a while now, but he seems to be helping the injured Canadian. This is a compassionate side- NO! Eye rake to Jericho, and now RVD slams his face into the mat, grinding it onto the canvas! These evil acts are frankly disturbing and I’m not sure I want to watch them! With Jericho(Figo) lying motionless and absolutely helpless, RVD bounces off the ropes and hits a giant leg-drop on Jericho! RVD(AJ) turns Y2J over into the first cover of this match:

You can’t say that that attack was fake, or cushioned, or any of that! RVD threw himself into the side of Austin(Jericho15)’s head! Jericho has slid back into the ring, unaware of the presence of Chris Benoit, right behind him – CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! Benoit has hooked his hands right on the bloodied and bruised section of Y2J(Figo)’s face! The pain must be unreal! Jericho is tapping like a Morse code telegrapher, but it’s not legal, Jericho is NOT the legal man! Mike Chiota somehow manages to break up the hold, leaving Benoit to return to his corner of the ring.

Benoit(Grandprix), being the gentleman he is, lifts the near unconscious Steve Austin back into the ring, before getting back to his corner. Jericho is almost completely out of it himself, but is slowly climbing towards the Rattlesnake…he’s covered him! Chiota counts:

KICK OUT BY AUSTIN! Austin(Jericho15), much to the distress of Jericho and to the joy of the fans, is not out of it yet. Jericho is looking very worried, and so goes over to tag out to RVD, but RVD jumps off the apron, refusing the tag! Oh yeah, now that’s the stature of our Undisputed Champion, ladies and gentlemen! Jericho, struggling to walk and needing the ropes for support, begs for the tag out to Benoit, who takes Jericho’s extended arm, but drops it on the top rope! That’s not a legal tag, declares referee Mike Chiota, and so it looks as though Jericho is stuck without a friend in the world, as he looks at the crowd, who are cruelly laughing and taunting the beaten up Canadian son of a gun. Austin is now recovering slowly, and seems to be able to stand after that decapitating plancha by RVD(AJ), and Austin is heading for his prey. Jericho runs towards RVD and manages to tag in the champ, who looks apprehensive as Austin just stares at him, as if he was Hitler himself.
Austin(Jericho15), instead of attacking the wounded RVD(AJ), is content with tagging out to Chris Benoit(Grandprix) for this latest chapter in this match. Benoit fakes a charge at RVD, who recoils comedically, much to the amusement of the fans. Benoit looks to be in the best shape of his life, and is as fresh as a ripe pomegranate, as he stalks the wounded champ…RVD charges towards Benoit, but Benoit sidesteps out of the way, and RVD bounces off the ropes; Benoit goes for a clothesline, but RVD ducks; both men off the ropes, RVD attempts a cross-body, but Benoit gets wise and ducks that, resulting in RVD(AJ) tumbling to the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is happy to take advantage, and so picks the injured RVD off the floor, hooks him up; SNAP SUPLEX! In comes Austin(Jericho15), but he gets caught; SNAP SUPLEX ONTO RVD! Jericho(Figo) wisely stays out of this mess, as Benoit picks Austin up and throws him to the concrete outside! RVD(AJ) gets up, though, and hits a wondrous spinning heel kick! He now goes up to the top turnbuckle, kicks Jericho down, and readies himself to hit a huge aerial move of some variety onto Benoit…HIGH CROSS-BODY! Benoit has been taken down, into a pin:
1
2
KICK OUT! Benoit(Grandprix) kicks out from that move, but has it affected him that much? RVD(AJ) is still holding that left arm, but picks up Benoit, and positions him for a powerbomb…but now gets the arms in a double underhook…lifts Benoit up and hits A HUGE FACEBUSTER! Pedigree-like move there, and this could be it:
1
2
AUSTIN BREAKS UP THE COUNT! Austin(Jericho15) appeared from nowhere, and this match is still alive! Benoit(Grandprix) owes Austin for that, but now Austin has once again turned to Jericho(Figo) for amusement…he runs after him, around the ring, which looks scarily reminiscent of the earlier somersault plancha incident, but RVD is concentrating on trying to take down Benoit, because he doesn’t want to put the title on the line against anyone, let alone this beast, Chris Benoit. Benoit is currently on the mat, and now RVD takes advantage of this by putting Benoit in the MEXICAN SURFBOARD! Benoit will have to shift the centre of gravity to the side, to make RVD either break the hold or have his shoulders put on the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is in a bad position, and is struggling to get out of it, until Stone Cold(Jericho15) comes in and stamps hard of the chest of RVD(AJ), breaking the hold. Benoit doesn’t seem to have been too badly affected by the surfboard, which will be of great news to the various Benoit supporters, and Stone Cold’s lack of interest in the actual match continues as he hunts down Jericho.
Benoit(Grandprix) has noticed the Y2J-Austin situation, and has now entered himself into it. He’s gone outside, and confronts Jericho(Figo), who turns around and runs, only to be met with THE LOU THESZ PRESS FROM AUSTIN! Austin is actually pounding on Jericho with such force and power as to make Jericho scream for mercy! Benoit has had enough of that brawl already, and has returned to perhaps finish off RVD(AJ)? He runs at RVD, but is caught with a harsh spinning heel kick, leaving him in perfect placement for the Five Star, but what will it be? RVD runs towards the corner…SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT ON BENOIT! RVD refrains from going for the pinfall, however, instead favouring to return to the top turnbuckle…FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH- NO! Benoit caught the left arm of RVD on the dive down, and clapped on the Crippler Crossface! Jericho has somehow escaped from the clutches of Austin, in fact Austin(Jericho15) in rolling around the floor, clutching at his groin…guess what happened there? Jericho(Figo) is in, though, and has locked in the WALLS OF JERICHO ON RVD! Double submission on RVD(AJ)! But wait, here are those guys in the Grim Reaper costumes! They’ve taken Mike Chiota out of the ring, and now shots are raining down all around him! Chiota is out, and now it seems as though they’ve got their sights set on the other three competitors-
*IF YA SMMMEEEEELLLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN’!*
OH MY GOD! The Rock(Starlight) is back! And he’s got a referee’s shirt on! He’s taking out the Powers That Be with rights, spinebusters and now – ROCK BOTTOM! He turns around to the peril RVD finds himself in, and asks RVD if he wants to quit; RVD isn’t tapping, to his credit, but wait:
DING! DING! DING!
The Rock(Starlight) has called for the bell, even though RVD(AJ) didn’t tap! And who won? The Rock is talking to Howard Finkel, but I can’t hear what is being said…and now The Rock goes back to the centre of the ring, and holds the arms of both Jericho(Figo) and Benoit(Grandprix)…this isn’t a draw, is it?
Finkel: The referee has deemed the match…a victory for…
Who, dammit? Who?!
Finkel: …Chris…
Yes…
Finkel: …Benoit!
*Wild cheering from the fans*
Benoit(Grandprix) has done it! Chris Jericho(Figo) never really did enough to deserve the win after being beaten up by Austin(Jericho15), and RVD(AJ) shouldn’t even have been in the match in the first place! Well done to Chris Benoit(Grandprix), who goes on to face RVD(AJ) for the Undisputed SRW title at Burnout, under whatever stipulations he so wishes! Good night, everybody!
POST MATCH NOTES
Stone Cold has been revealed to have actually been hitting Chris Jericho, leading to Jericho needing to be taken to a local medical facility for reconstructive surgery. The following report was obtained from the New York Times:
“The professional wrestling promotion, SRW, is reeling after the revelations that the wrestler Steven Williams, known to millions as Stone Cold Steve Austin, was taken to the local jail after he was seen to be physically assaulting Chris Jericho, real name Chris Irvine, during a match at the latest edition of the weekly wrestling show, SRW Eclipse. Irvine required extensive reconstructive surgery to his face after Williams repeatedly punched and kicked him unnecessarily, and his position within the SRW promotion is in doubt. The company refused to issue a statement concerning this event, leading public figures to condemn the business.”
Stone Cold’s employment status is being considered, and Chris Jericho will require a mask for the next two months of competition.

Well, we have Benoit as our number 1 contender, a broken-faced Chris Jericho, a worried RVD and a public scandal for SRW as a whole. This leads me to beg that I need to continue both feuds, and give reasons for Austin’s assault on Jericho, which went unexplained. Anyway, cheers for reading.
Bah, stupid Austin :)
Super match LL Cool TT, i wondered what you was thinking taking The Rock out of the match but i realised he would probably get involved later on so it mad the match better.
Like Ant, i too could imagine that Crossface being locked on after RVD had attempted a Five Star Frog Splash.
Damn who are those Grim Reapers? :)

Heh, your matches are so original, congratulations on another fantastic bout LL, it was perfect for our SRW main event. Below are just two of my favourite bits:
"Austin is so over with the men and women at ringside that they’ll actually applaud him for assaulting a young man! Good God, this really does scrape the barrel of taste and decency, doesn’t it?"
Love it. :D
"FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH- NO! Benoit caught the left arm of RVD on the dive down, and clapped on the Crippler Crossface!"
Classic, I could just imagine it.
Congrats to Grandprix as Benoit, the first ever SRW Champion could be back at Burnout! And what an interference from Rock (Starlight), he's gonna have something to say, and who the hell are those Powers That Be? :D
I look forward to hearing about Austin's status, maybe Jae will have to pick a new main-eventer...

Best way to have them, I think. It sticks in people's minds well if there was something brutal of note, but that's not the only way. I resisted the temptation to get Austin disqualified, but the report at the end did it better.

No, you're right - he was. I remember all the tension building up to every main event he was in with people always talking about when he'd finally lose his title as well. :-D

Chris Benoit back in the title hunt after being the first (I could be wrong) SRW champion.
Your matches are very brutal.
Your matches are very brutal.
Yehey!
Excellent stuff - just the right length for a match of this importance, very action-packed and there were a fair few surprises in there too that were very effective.
It was very surprising indeed when Rocky was replaced in the match by RVD (moi), but I could see Rock getting involved somehow or other later on in the match, and I was right.
Still, though, very well written match that had me hooked the whole way through. Chris Benoit Vs. Rob Van Dam (Cong Man's real life dream match) should be a cracker!

SRW Title Fatal 4-Way No.1 Contenders Match:
Chris Jericho (Figo) vs. Stone Cold (Jericho15) vs. Chris Benoit (Grandprix) vs. The Rock (Starlight – if he can make it)
Written by LL Cool TT
Ladies and gentlemen, you see it right there, we have a Fatal 4-Way No.1 Contender’s match, starring Y2J(Figo), Stone Cold(Jericho15), Chris Benoit(Grandprix), and, if he can make it…The Rock(Starlight)!
We will soon know if The Rock(Starlight) can make the match, as Howard Finkel steps to the centre of the ring…
Finkel: Good evening one and all! Tonight, you will see a number 1 contender declared for the Undisputed SRW Championship!
*Crowd cheers wildly*
Finkel: Introducing the first challenger…
*5…4…3…2…1…*
And Chris Jericho(Figo) has arrived, but the crowd don’t want to hear it! They are booing Chris Jericho as loudly as they can, as he heads down to the ring!
Finkel: Making his way to the ring, from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada…Y2J…Chris, Jericho!
He surveys the crowd on the ring apron, before stepping into the ring and bouncing off the ropes in preparation for the huge match.
*Glass smashes*
The crowd has gone ballistic as that Texas drunk hits the ring!
Finkel: Hailing from Victoria, Texas…the Texas Rattlesnake himself…Stone Cold, Steve Austin(Jericho15)!
I can’t hear myself or Finkel, all I can hear are these fans, screaming like little girls! Austin is completely over with the fans, perhaps even more so than the late nineties, and that is astounding!
*Electric guitar screeching*
The fans have recovered after that exposure - there’s no other way to put it, folks - to Stone Cold(Jericho15), and are now not quite cheering, but more paying their respects to this master technician with cheering but also applause, not something you’d usually expect from our SRW fans!
Finkel: From the wrestling capital of the world, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada…the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)!
The three men in the ring stare each other down, as we wait for the confirmation of The Rock(Starlight)’s ability to wrestle here tonight…it would be a great loss to the proceedings tonight if he were unable to participate…but here we lie in wait of that legendary phrase…
*IF YA SMMMMMMEEEEEELLLLLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN’!*
He’s here! He is able to wrestle, and here he comes- oh God, no! It’s not The Rock(Starlight), it’s RVD(AfroJoe)! He’s dressed up in typical Rocky attire, mocking the People’s Champ!
RVD: Right, right, cut that damn music! I’m out here to tell all of you that your fourth competitor in this match will NOT be The Rock(Starlight)! And this is why…play the tape, dammit, play the tape!
*Tape plays of their non-title match last week, conveniently only showing RVD attacking The Rock and throwing him through the light tubes and such*
RVD: You see, The Rock(Starlight) has injured his back. Yep, that’s thanks to your best friend, Mr. Monday Night, Rob – Van – Dam! He WILL NOT be able to wrestle here tonight, but you know who can? That’s right, it’s R – V – D!
What the-?! How can Van Dam(AJ) wrestle in this number 1 contender’s match-up? How the heck does that work?!
RVD: This is what’s gonna happen, dudes, I’m going to gracefully take the place of Rocky(Starlight) for the match tonight, and if – more like ‘when’ – I win, I won’t have to defend my title at Burnout! So, man, let’s get going!
What? How? Why? RVD(AJ) makes his way down to the ring, but how could this be sanctioned by SRW? He slides into the ring, as the other three men watch on, and RVD begins to stare them down. This is one of THE biggest rouses I’ve ever had the shame to bare witness of! Referee Mike Chiota manages to get all four men into separate corners, as this match begins.
DING! DING! DING!
Immediately the action begins! Flying forearm by Y2J(Figo) to Benoit(Grandprix)! Spinning heel kick from Van Dam(AJ) to Y2J(Figo)! Huge clothesline from Austin(Jericho15) to RVD(AJ)! All four men now get back up into their respective corners. Here’s how this fatal 4-way match will work – there will be only two men in the ring at once, at every man will have the chance to tag out. The match will be won be a single pinfall or submission, and the referee has the power to eliminate any wrestler who is eligible for disqualification from this match. OK, we begin with Chris Benoit(Grandprix) and Stone Cold Steve Austin(Jericho15) facing off, as RVD(AJ) and Jericho(Figo) watch from their respective corners.
Benoit(Grandprix) and Austin(Jericho15) lock together in a collar and elbow tie-up, and then they separate. Tie-up again, and they separate once more. Yet another tie-up, and now they circle the ring in a test of strength, before Austin gets Benoit(Grandprix) in a front headlock, to which Benoit replies with a high backdrop! Austin(Jericho15) wasn’t expecting that! Austin gets back to his feet, but is met by a hammerlock from Benoit; Austin moves into a hammerlock of his own; Benoit forward rolls out of it, puts Austin back into a hammerlock, but now grabs the arm and turns it into an arm breaker! Fantastic technique used by Benoit, who now tags in Jericho(Figo)! Y2J immediately lands some stiff kicks to the gut of Austin, and now gets into Austin’s face! Oh God, he’s slapping Austin all around his mush! Have some respect! Austin replies with a rake to the eyes of Y2J, and now, with Y2J on his knees, Austin- OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOOD LORD JESUS! Austin just booted, and I mean booted Y2J right in between the eyes! Urgh, Jericho(Figo) is bleeding all over his face thanks to that disgusting kick by Austin, and referee Chiota doesn’t know what to do at this point.
RVD(AJ) blind tags Austin(Jericho15) and now heads towards the injured Jericho(Figo) , but is kneeling down next to Y2J, seemingly helping him out…?! This is a side of Rob Van Dam that we have not been able to see for quite a while now, but he seems to be helping the injured Canadian. This is a compassionate side- NO! Eye rake to Jericho, and now RVD slams his face into the mat, grinding it onto the canvas! These evil acts are frankly disturbing and I’m not sure I want to watch them! With Jericho(Figo) lying motionless and absolutely helpless, RVD bounces off the ropes and hits a giant leg-drop on Jericho! RVD(AJ) turns Y2J over into the first cover of this match:
1
2- But Austin(Jericho15) grabs RVD(AJ)’s hair, throws Van Dam away, and stamps right on Jericho(Figo)’s nose!! For God’s sake, this ain’t wrestling! Someone get that thug out of there! The worst thing is that the fans are cheering for this unbridled brutality! Austin is so over with the men and women at ringside that they’ll actually applaud him for assaulting a young man! Good God, this really does scrape the barrel of taste and decency, doesn’t it? RVD gets up and stares down Austin, to which Austin replies with the classic middle fingers! RVD is frustrated, but his attention to Austin has resulted in Jericho being able to get up and tag in Chris Benoit(Grandprix), who quickly clothesline RVD(AJ) out his boots! Wonderful hooking clothesline by Benoit there, all technique! He picks up the arrogant RVD, and pushes him into one of the free corners, where he grabs the left arm, and wraps it around the top rope. Benoit steps out to the apron, still grasping that left arm, but now takes the right arm of RVD and puts that into a half nelson! Tremendous technique used by the Rabid Wolverine! RVD is screaming in acute pain, but the referee has now come to his aid, and administers the 5-count:
1
2
3
4
Benoit(Grandprix) breaks the hold, but grabs RVD(AJ) again, takes the left arm, and drags it along the top rope! Mike Chiota is not liking this, so is telling Benoit to relinquish his hold of RVD’s left arm; Chris Benoit leaps and hangs the left arm out to dry on the top rope! RVD is literally wailing in pain on the mat, and Benoit now re-enters the ring, and goes for the second cover of this already controversial match:
1
2
Austin(Jericho15) again breaks up the count, but heads over to Jericho(Figo) again, with a menacing look in his eyes, he squares up and hits the dizzy Jericho with a huge right-hand to the cheek-bone! For God’s sakes! Someone MUST eject this thug from the match, surely! Austin is raising hell tonight, all over Jericho’s face! Mike Chiota is pushing Austin(Jericho15) back into his corner, as he tries to keep order in this mad match. RVD(AJ) is still nursing that left arm, which you’ve gotta think Chris Benoit(Grandprix) is attacking in preparation for that deadly Crippler Crossface, but we just don’t know. RVD(AJ) tries to get up, but Benoit just grabs that arm again, and forces RVD down with a great FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Consider it a Crossface minus the neck crank, and that is what’s happening to RVD, as his arm gets ripped out from its socket. Benoit seems to want to end this match right now, but Austin(Jericho15) interjects himself yet again, this time taking Van Dam(AJ)’s right arm, and FLIPPING OVER THE BACK OF RVD , RIPPING THAT ARM! This hellacious manoeuvre almost broke RVD’s right arm, but it also disrupted the Fujiwara armbar Benoit applied to Van Dam prior to that. Austin runs back to his corner, and is now begging for the tag from Benoit…
Benoit(Grandprix) tags in Austin(Jericho15), and holds RVD(AJ) for Austin to pummel, but Austin smacks Benoit instead! He’s picked up Benoit, and has thrown him over the top rope! Austin now turns his attention back to RVD, grabs the injured left arm, whips RVD towards Jericho(Figo)’s corner, hangs on though, whips RVD towards the opposite corner, holds on again, and now throws Van Dam(AJ) towards Jericho’s corner – BAM! RVD smacked into Jericho, knocking him off the apron! Austin has started shouting at the referee, clapping his hands; I guess he must think that RVD tagged in Jericho!
*CLAP!*
Chiota has declared that a legal tag! Jericho(Figo) is now in with his nemesis, the wild Austin(Jericho15), who has set about him for no reason whatsoever! Austin scrambles to the outside, looking to get his hands on his newest target, but Jericho is running away faster than the proverbial cheetah being chased by the metaphorical lion! RVD(AJ) has taken notice of this chase, rests against a rope, and now runs towards the centre of the ring…he leaps over the top! SOMERSAULT PLANCHA TO THE OUTSIDE, KNOCKING DOWN THE RUNNING AUSTIN! You can’t say that that attack was fake, or cushioned, or any of that! RVD threw himself into the side of Austin(Jericho15)’s head! Jericho has slid back into the ring, unaware of the presence of Chris Benoit, right behind him – CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! Benoit has hooked his hands right on the bloodied and bruised section of Y2J(Figo)’s face! The pain must be unreal! Jericho is tapping like a Morse code telegrapher, but it’s not legal, Jericho is NOT the legal man! Mike Chiota somehow manages to break up the hold, leaving Benoit to return to his corner of the ring.
RVD(AJ) has now also gotten back to his corner, meaning that this match can continue, as soon as Austin(Jericho15) is able to get back into the ring, because at the moment he is OUT. Mike Chiota is out of the ring at the moment, trying to hoist Austin back into the ring, but he’s not having much success. Benoit(Grandprix), being the gentleman he is, lifts the near unconscious Steve Austin back into the ring, before getting back to his corner. Jericho is almost completely out of it himself, but is slowly climbing towards the Rattlesnake…he’s covered him! Chiota counts:
1
2
KICK OUT BY AUSTIN! Austin(Jericho15), much to the distress of Jericho and to the joy of the fans, is not out of it yet. Jericho is looking very worried, and so goes over to tag out to RVD, but RVD jumps off the apron, refusing the tag! Oh yeah, now that’s the stature of our Undisputed Champion, ladies and gentlemen! Jericho, struggling to walk and needing the ropes for support, begs for the tag out to Benoit, who takes Jericho’s extended arm, but drops it on the top rope! That’s not a legal tag, declares referee Mike Chiota, and so it looks as though Jericho is stuck without a friend in the world, as he looks at the crowd, who are cruelly laughing and taunting the beaten up Canadian son of a gun. Austin is now recovering slowly, and seems to be able to stand after that decapitating plancha by RVD(AJ), and Austin is heading for his prey. Jericho runs towards RVD and manages to tag in the champ, who looks apprehensive as Austin just stares at him, as if he was Hitler himself.
Austin(Jericho15), instead of attacking the wounded RVD(AJ), is content with tagging out to Chris Benoit(Grandprix) for this latest chapter in this match. Benoit fakes a charge at RVD, who recoils comedically, much to the amusement of the fans. Benoit looks to be in the best shape of his life, and is as fresh as a ripe pomegranate, as he stalks the wounded champ…RVD charges towards Benoit, but Benoit sidesteps out of the way, and RVD bounces off the ropes; Benoit goes for a clothesline, but RVD ducks; both men off the ropes, RVD attempts a cross-body, but Benoit gets wise and ducks that, resulting in RVD(AJ) tumbling to the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is happy to take advantage, and so picks the injured RVD off the floor, hooks him up; SNAP SUPLEX! In comes Austin(Jericho15), but he gets caught; SNAP SUPLEX ONTO RVD! Jericho(Figo) wisely stays out of this mess, as Benoit picks Austin up and throws him to the concrete outside! RVD(AJ) gets up, though, and hits a wondrous spinning heel kick! He now goes up to the top turnbuckle, kicks Jericho down, and readies himself to hit a huge aerial move of some variety onto Benoit…HIGH CROSS-BODY! Benoit has been taken down, into a pin:
1
2
KICK OUT! Benoit(Grandprix) kicks out from that move, but has it affected him that much? RVD(AJ) is still holding that left arm, but picks up Benoit, and positions him for a powerbomb…but now gets the arms in a double underhook…lifts Benoit up and hits A HUGE FACEBUSTER!

Benoit is currently on the mat, and now RVD takes advantage of this by putting Benoit in the MEXICAN SURFBOARD! Benoit will have to shift the centre of gravity to the side, to make RVD either break the hold or have his shoulders put on the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is in a bad position, and is struggling to get out of it, until Stone Cold(Jericho15) comes in and stamps hard of the chest of RVD(AJ), breaking the hold. Benoit doesn’t seem to have been too badly affected by the surfboard, which will be of great news to the various Benoit supporters, and Stone Cold’s lack of interest in the actual match continues as he hunts down Jericho.

OH MY GOD! The Rock(Starlight) is back! And he’s got a referee’s shirt on! He’s taking out the Powers That Be with rights, spinebusters and now – ROCK BOTTOM! He turns around to the peril RVD finds himself in, and asks RVD if he wants to quit; RVD isn’t tapping, to his credit, but wait:
DING! DING! DING!
The Rock(Starlight) has called for the bell, even though RVD(AJ) didn’t tap! And who won? The Rock is talking to Howard Finkel, but I can’t hear what is being said…and now The Rock goes back to the centre of the ring, and holds the arms of both Jericho(Figo) and Benoit(Grandprix)…this isn’t a draw, is it?

Finkel: Introducing the first challenger…
*5…4…3…2…1…*
And Chris Jericho(Figo) has arrived, but the crowd don’t want to hear it! They are booing Chris Jericho as loudly as they can, as he heads down to the ring!
Finkel: Making his way to the ring, from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada…Y2J…Chris, Jericho!
He surveys the crowd on the ring apron, before stepping into the ring and bouncing off the ropes in preparation for the huge match.
*Glass smashes*
The crowd has gone ballistic as that Texas drunk hits the ring!
Finkel: Hailing from Victoria, Texas…the Texas Rattlesnake himself…Stone Cold, Steve Austin(Jericho15)!
I can’t hear myself or Finkel, all I can hear are these fans, screaming like little girls! Austin is completely over with the fans, perhaps even more so than the late nineties, and that is astounding!
*Electric guitar screeching*
The fans have recovered after that exposure - there’s no other way to put it, folks - to Stone Cold(Jericho15), and are now not quite cheering, but more paying their respects to this master technician with cheering but also applause, not something you’d usually expect from our SRW fans!
Finkel: From the wrestling capital of the world, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada…the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)!
The three men in the ring stare each other down, as we wait for the confirmation of The Rock(Starlight)’s ability to wrestle here tonight…it would be a great loss to the proceedings tonight if he were unable to participate…but here we lie in wait of that legendary phrase…
*IF YA SMMMMMMEEEEEELLLLLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN’!*
He’s here! He is able to wrestle, and here he comes- oh God, no! It’s not The Rock(Starlight), it’s RVD(AfroJoe)! He’s dressed up in typical Rocky attire, mocking the People’s Champ!
RVD: Right, right, cut that damn music! I’m out here to tell all of you that your fourth competitor in this match will NOT be The Rock(Starlight)! And this is why…play the tape, dammit, play the tape!
*Tape plays of their non-title match last week, conveniently only showing RVD attacking The Rock and throwing him through the light tubes and such*
RVD: You see, The Rock(Starlight) has injured his back. Yep, that’s thanks to your best friend, Mr. Monday Night, Rob – Van – Dam! He WILL NOT be able to wrestle here tonight, but you know who can? That’s right, it’s R – V – D!
What the-?! How can Van Dam(AJ) wrestle in this number 1 contender’s match-up? How the heck does that work?!
RVD: This is what’s gonna happen, dudes, I’m going to gracefully take the place of Rocky(Starlight) for the match tonight, and if – more like ‘when’ – I win, I won’t have to defend my title at Burnout! So, man, let’s get going!
What? How? Why? RVD(AJ) makes his way down to the ring, but how could this be sanctioned by SRW? He slides into the ring, as the other three men watch on, and RVD begins to stare them down. This is one of THE biggest rouses I’ve ever had the shame to bare witness of! Referee Mike Chiota manages to get all four men into separate corners, as this match begins.
DING! DING! DING!
Immediately the action begins! Flying forearm by Y2J(Figo) to Benoit(Grandprix)! Spinning heel kick from Van Dam(AJ) to Y2J(Figo)! Huge clothesline from Austin(Jericho15) to RVD(AJ)! All four men now get back up into their respective corners. Here’s how this fatal 4-way match will work – there will be only two men in the ring at once, at every man will have the chance to tag out. The match will be won be a single pinfall or submission, and the referee has the power to eliminate any wrestler who is eligible for disqualification from this match. OK, we begin with Chris Benoit(Grandprix) and Stone Cold Steve Austin(Jericho15) facing off, as RVD(AJ) and Jericho(Figo) watch from their respective corners.
Benoit(Grandprix) and Austin(Jericho15) lock together in a collar and elbow tie-up, and then they separate. Tie-up again, and they separate once more. Yet another tie-up, and now they circle the ring in a test of strength, before Austin gets Benoit(Grandprix) in a front headlock, to which Benoit replies with a high backdrop! Austin(Jericho15) wasn’t expecting that! Austin gets back to his feet, but is met by a hammerlock from Benoit; Austin moves into a hammerlock of his own; Benoit forward rolls out of it, puts Austin back into a hammerlock, but now grabs the arm and turns it into an arm breaker! Fantastic technique used by Benoit, who now tags in Jericho(Figo)! Y2J immediately lands some stiff kicks to the gut of Austin, and now gets into Austin’s face! Oh God, he’s slapping Austin all around his mush! Have some respect! Austin replies with a rake to the eyes of Y2J, and now, with Y2J on his knees, Austin- OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOOD LORD JESUS! Austin just booted, and I mean booted Y2J right in between the eyes! Urgh, Jericho(Figo) is bleeding all over his face thanks to that disgusting kick by Austin, and referee Chiota doesn’t know what to do at this point.
RVD(AJ) blind tags Austin(Jericho15) and now heads towards the injured Jericho(Figo) , but is kneeling down next to Y2J, seemingly helping him out…?! This is a side of Rob Van Dam that we have not been able to see for quite a while now, but he seems to be helping the injured Canadian. This is a compassionate side- NO! Eye rake to Jericho, and now RVD slams his face into the mat, grinding it onto the canvas! These evil acts are frankly disturbing and I’m not sure I want to watch them! With Jericho(Figo) lying motionless and absolutely helpless, RVD bounces off the ropes and hits a giant leg-drop on Jericho! RVD(AJ) turns Y2J over into the first cover of this match:
1
2- But Austin(Jericho15) grabs RVD(AJ)’s hair, throws Van Dam away, and stamps right on Jericho(Figo)’s nose!! For God’s sake, this ain’t wrestling! Someone get that thug out of there! The worst thing is that the fans are cheering for this unbridled brutality! Austin is so over with the men and women at ringside that they’ll actually applaud him for assaulting a young man! Good God, this really does scrape the barrel of taste and decency, doesn’t it? RVD gets up and stares down Austin, to which Austin replies with the classic middle fingers! RVD is frustrated, but his attention to Austin has resulted in Jericho being able to get up and tag in Chris Benoit(Grandprix), who quickly clothesline RVD(AJ) out his boots! Wonderful hooking clothesline by Benoit there, all technique! He picks up the arrogant RVD, and pushes him into one of the free corners, where he grabs the left arm, and wraps it around the top rope. Benoit steps out to the apron, still grasping that left arm, but now takes the right arm of RVD and puts that into a half nelson! Tremendous technique used by the Rabid Wolverine! RVD is screaming in acute pain, but the referee has now come to his aid, and administers the 5-count:
1
2
3
4
Benoit(Grandprix) breaks the hold, but grabs RVD(AJ) again, takes the left arm, and drags it along the top rope! Mike Chiota is not liking this, so is telling Benoit to relinquish his hold of RVD’s left arm; Chris Benoit leaps and hangs the left arm out to dry on the top rope! RVD is literally wailing in pain on the mat, and Benoit now re-enters the ring, and goes for the second cover of this already controversial match:
1
2
Austin(Jericho15) again breaks up the count, but heads over to Jericho(Figo) again, with a menacing look in his eyes, he squares up and hits the dizzy Jericho with a huge right-hand to the cheek-bone! For God’s sakes! Someone MUST eject this thug from the match, surely! Austin is raising hell tonight, all over Jericho’s face! Mike Chiota is pushing Austin(Jericho15) back into his corner, as he tries to keep order in this mad match. RVD(AJ) is still nursing that left arm, which you’ve gotta think Chris Benoit(Grandprix) is attacking in preparation for that deadly Crippler Crossface, but we just don’t know. RVD(AJ) tries to get up, but Benoit just grabs that arm again, and forces RVD down with a great FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Consider it a Crossface minus the neck crank, and that is what’s happening to RVD, as his arm gets ripped out from its socket. Benoit seems to want to end this match right now, but Austin(Jericho15) interjects himself yet again, this time taking Van Dam(AJ)’s right arm, and FLIPPING OVER THE BACK OF RVD , RIPPING THAT ARM! This hellacious manoeuvre almost broke RVD’s right arm, but it also disrupted the Fujiwara armbar Benoit applied to Van Dam prior to that. Austin runs back to his corner, and is now begging for the tag from Benoit…
Benoit(Grandprix) tags in Austin(Jericho15), and holds RVD(AJ) for Austin to pummel, but Austin smacks Benoit instead! He’s picked up Benoit, and has thrown him over the top rope! Austin now turns his attention back to RVD, grabs the injured left arm, whips RVD towards Jericho(Figo)’s corner, hangs on though, whips RVD towards the opposite corner, holds on again, and now throws Van Dam(AJ) towards Jericho’s corner – BAM! RVD smacked into Jericho, knocking him off the apron! Austin has started shouting at the referee, clapping his hands; I guess he must think that RVD tagged in Jericho!
*CLAP!*
Chiota has declared that a legal tag! Jericho(Figo) is now in with his nemesis, the wild Austin(Jericho15), who has set about him for no reason whatsoever! Austin scrambles to the outside, looking to get his hands on his newest target, but Jericho is running away faster than the proverbial cheetah being chased by the metaphorical lion! RVD(AJ) has taken notice of this chase, rests against a rope, and now runs towards the centre of the ring…he leaps over the top! SOMERSAULT PLANCHA TO THE OUTSIDE, KNOCKING DOWN THE RUNNING AUSTIN! You can’t say that that attack was fake, or cushioned, or any of that! RVD threw himself into the side of Austin(Jericho15)’s head! Jericho has slid back into the ring, unaware of the presence of Chris Benoit, right behind him – CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! Benoit has hooked his hands right on the bloodied and bruised section of Y2J(Figo)’s face! The pain must be unreal! Jericho is tapping like a Morse code telegrapher, but it’s not legal, Jericho is NOT the legal man! Mike Chiota somehow manages to break up the hold, leaving Benoit to return to his corner of the ring.
RVD(AJ) has now also gotten back to his corner, meaning that this match can continue, as soon as Austin(Jericho15) is able to get back into the ring, because at the moment he is OUT. Mike Chiota is out of the ring at the moment, trying to hoist Austin back into the ring, but he’s not having much success. Benoit(Grandprix), being the gentleman he is, lifts the near unconscious Steve Austin back into the ring, before getting back to his corner. Jericho is almost completely out of it himself, but is slowly climbing towards the Rattlesnake…he’s covered him! Chiota counts:
1
2
KICK OUT BY AUSTIN! Austin(Jericho15), much to the distress of Jericho and to the joy of the fans, is not out of it yet. Jericho is looking very worried, and so goes over to tag out to RVD, but RVD jumps off the apron, refusing the tag! Oh yeah, now that’s the stature of our Undisputed Champion, ladies and gentlemen! Jericho, struggling to walk and needing the ropes for support, begs for the tag out to Benoit, who takes Jericho’s extended arm, but drops it on the top rope! That’s not a legal tag, declares referee Mike Chiota, and so it looks as though Jericho is stuck without a friend in the world, as he looks at the crowd, who are cruelly laughing and taunting the beaten up Canadian son of a gun. Austin is now recovering slowly, and seems to be able to stand after that decapitating plancha by RVD(AJ), and Austin is heading for his prey. Jericho runs towards RVD and manages to tag in the champ, who looks apprehensive as Austin just stares at him, as if he was Hitler himself.
Austin(Jericho15), instead of attacking the wounded RVD(AJ), is content with tagging out to Chris Benoit(Grandprix) for this latest chapter in this match. Benoit fakes a charge at RVD, who recoils comedically, much to the amusement of the fans. Benoit looks to be in the best shape of his life, and is as fresh as a ripe pomegranate, as he stalks the wounded champ…RVD charges towards Benoit, but Benoit sidesteps out of the way, and RVD bounces off the ropes; Benoit goes for a clothesline, but RVD ducks; both men off the ropes, RVD attempts a cross-body, but Benoit gets wise and ducks that, resulting in RVD(AJ) tumbling to the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is happy to take advantage, and so picks the injured RVD off the floor, hooks him up; SNAP SUPLEX! In comes Austin(Jericho15), but he gets caught; SNAP SUPLEX ONTO RVD! Jericho(Figo) wisely stays out of this mess, as Benoit picks Austin up and throws him to the concrete outside! RVD(AJ) gets up, though, and hits a wondrous spinning heel kick! He now goes up to the top turnbuckle, kicks Jericho down, and readies himself to hit a huge aerial move of some variety onto Benoit…HIGH CROSS-BODY! Benoit has been taken down, into a pin:
1
2
KICK OUT! Benoit(Grandprix) kicks out from that move, but has it affected him that much? RVD(AJ) is still holding that left arm, but picks up Benoit, and positions him for a powerbomb…but now gets the arms in a double underhook…lifts Benoit up and hits A HUGE FACEBUSTER! Pedigree-like move there, and this could be it:
1
2
AUSTIN BREAKS UP THE COUNT! Austin(Jericho15) appeared from nowhere, and this match is still alive! Benoit(Grandprix) owes Austin for that, but now Austin has once again turned to Jericho(Figo) for amusement…he runs after him, around the ring, which looks scarily reminiscent of the earlier somersault plancha incident, but RVD is concentrating on trying to take down Benoit, because he doesn’t want to put the title on the line against anyone, let alone this beast, Chris Benoit. Benoit is currently on the mat, and now RVD takes advantage of this by putting Benoit in the MEXICAN SURFBOARD! Benoit will have to shift the centre of gravity to the side, to make RVD either break the hold or have his shoulders put on the mat. Benoit(Grandprix) is in a bad position, and is struggling to get out of it, until Stone Cold(Jericho15) comes in and stamps hard of the chest of RVD(AJ), breaking the hold. Benoit doesn’t seem to have been too badly affected by the surfboard, which will be of great news to the various Benoit supporters, and Stone Cold’s lack of interest in the actual match continues as he hunts down Jericho.
Benoit(Grandprix) has noticed the Y2J-Austin situation, and has now entered himself into it. He’s gone outside, and confronts Jericho(Figo), who turns around and runs, only to be met with THE LOU THESZ PRESS FROM AUSTIN! Austin is actually pounding on Jericho with such force and power as to make Jericho scream for mercy! Benoit has had enough of that brawl already, and has returned to perhaps finish off RVD(AJ)? He runs at RVD, but is caught with a harsh spinning heel kick, leaving him in perfect placement for the Five Star, but what will it be? RVD runs towards the corner…SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT ON BENOIT! RVD refrains from going for the pinfall, however, instead favouring to return to the top turnbuckle…FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH- NO! Benoit caught the left arm of RVD on the dive down, and clapped on the Crippler Crossface! Jericho has somehow escaped from the clutches of Austin, in fact Austin(Jericho15) in rolling around the floor, clutching at his groin…guess what happened there? Jericho(Figo) is in, though, and has locked in the WALLS OF JERICHO ON RVD! Double submission on RVD(AJ)! But wait, here are those guys in the Grim Reaper costumes! They’ve taken Mike Chiota out of the ring, and now shots are raining down all around him! Chiota is out, and now it seems as though they’ve got their sights set on the other three competitors-
*IF YA SMMMEEEEELLLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN’!*
OH MY GOD! The Rock(Starlight) is back! And he’s got a referee’s shirt on! He’s taking out the Powers That Be with rights, spinebusters and now – ROCK BOTTOM! He turns around to the peril RVD finds himself in, and asks RVD if he wants to quit; RVD isn’t tapping, to his credit, but wait:
DING! DING! DING!
The Rock(Starlight) has called for the bell, even though RVD(AJ) didn’t tap! And who won? The Rock is talking to Howard Finkel, but I can’t hear what is being said…and now The Rock goes back to the centre of the ring, and holds the arms of both Jericho(Figo) and Benoit(Grandprix)…this isn’t a draw, is it?
Finkel: The referee has deemed the match…a victory for…
Who, dammit? Who?!
Finkel: …Chris…
Yes…
Finkel: …Benoit!
*Wild cheering from the fans*
Benoit(Grandprix) has done it! Chris Jericho(Figo) never really did enough to deserve the win after being beaten up by Austin(Jericho15), and RVD(AJ) shouldn’t even have been in the match in the first place! Well done to Chris Benoit(Grandprix), who goes on to face RVD(AJ) for the Undisputed SRW title at Burnout, under whatever stipulations he so wishes! Good night, everybody!
POST MATCH NOTES
Stone Cold has been revealed to have actually been hitting Chris Jericho, leading to Jericho needing to be taken to a local medical facility for reconstructive surgery. The following report was obtained from the New York Times:
“The professional wrestling promotion, SRW, is reeling after the revelations that the wrestler Steven Williams, known to millions as Stone Cold Steve Austin, was taken to the local jail after he was seen to be physically assaulting Chris Jericho, real name Chris Irvine, during a match at the latest edition of the weekly wrestling show, SRW Eclipse. Irvine required extensive reconstructive surgery to his face after Williams repeatedly punched and kicked him unnecessarily, and his position within the SRW promotion is in doubt. The company refused to issue a statement concerning this event, leading public figures to condemn the business.”
Stone Cold’s employment status is being considered, and Chris Jericho will require a mask for the next two months of competition.
***
Well, we have Benoit as our number 1 contender, a broken-faced Chris Jericho, a worried RVD and a public scandal for SRW as a whole. This leads me to beg that I need to continue both feuds, and give reasons for Austin’s assault on Jericho, which went unexplained. Anyway, cheers for reading.
