Chris Benoit (Grandprix) vs Chris Jericho (Figo)
Written by LL Cool TT
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! We are here, at SRW Towers, where tonight, for your main event, and viewing pleasure, we have the number 1 contender for the SRW title, the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit(Grandprix), fighting against the pompous and now wounded Canadian braggart, Y2J himself, Chris Jericho(Figo)! Let’s take you back to the turbulent no.1 contenders’ match on Eclipse last week, where we saw Chris Benoit beat the champion, and Stone Cold Steve Austin(Jericho15) beating the living hell out of our second contender here tonight!
*Replay of last week*
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!
*Back to tonight*
Well, that was last week, but we’ve got a match tonight which may just become one of the greats…if it wasn’t for that damned RVD(AfroJoe) turning up as the guest referee, that is. He’s probably going to affect the outcome of this match – what I am saying? He’s going to determine the outcome of the match! Luckily for Benoit(Grandprix), his no.1 spot is not being put on the line here, but I reckon this will be too good an opportunity for RVD(AJ) to miss in taking Benoit out before their big match at our next PPV, SRW Burnout (Tickets still on sale – please contact Ticketmaster for more details)! We await the first competitor tonight, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)…
*Electric guitar screeches*
And here he comes! The number 1 contender to RVD(AJ)’s crown, the man who already has a victory over the most arrogant man in wrestling today, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)!
Finkel: Making his way to the ring, hailing from the wrestling capital of the world, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 224 pounds, the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)!
*Loud cheering*
Chris Benoit(Grandprix) makes his way into the ring, seemingly ignoring the crowds wild cheering – y’know, it’s amazing how popular Benoit has become these past few weeks through doing nothing differently. I think it’s just because RVD(AJ) has become the most hated man here, and now because Benoit has become his first major challenger (except for The Rock), he’s been thrown into the fans’ arms, where he’s been cradled and cared for like a god. But now we wait for a man who has had his mouth shut by Steve Austin(Jericho15) by being given a lesson in Texas Brawling (Jericho’s now wearing a mask so now he can’t talk anyway)…
*Countdown begins…*
BOOM! Well, it seems he’s here, but in what condition; in what shape; and in what mindset? If I were Chris Jericho(Figo), I’d be as scared as hell of Austin jumping me and beating the holy spirit our of me. But anyway, I’m not Jericho, and here he is…
*Mass laughing by the crowd*
Oh God! Goddamn it…I’m drowning in my tears of laughter here, as are the rest of this crowd here tonight…that’s just so damn hilarious! Chris Jericho(Figo) is wearing the Leatherface mask! Good Lord…for those of you at home listening to us on Reserved Wrestling Radio (103-103.1 FM) who aren’t familiar with the Leatherface mask, it’s just like a paper bag design with holes, made of leather and wrapped around the face – a sort of really untidy Mankind mask, if you will. Why he’s wearing it, I have no idea…surely the medical mask he was supplied with wouldn’t look any worse? Y2J’s long flowing locks have been turned into a mass of twig-like…erm…things!
Finkel: Making his way to the ring, from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada, Y2J, Chris Jericho(Figo)!
*Booing and still huge laughter*
I bet Jericho’s never been faced with anything of this magnitude before, but he’ll have to overcome it just to stand a chance against this master technician, Chris Benoit(Grandprix). And now, unfortunately enough, we must wait for the referee for this match, the undeniably unique Rob Van Dam(AJ)…
*ONE OF A KIND!*
*Unbelievably loud booing*
Here he comes, wearing a typically over the top leotard of black and white objects striped down in referee fashion, and wearing his SRW title around his waist, and holding a microphone…? What the hell does a referee need with a microphone?
Finkel: the ri-
RVD(AJ): Woah, woah, woah, Howard! I think that I can handle my own introduction, I mean, I am the SRW Champion, R – V – D! Anyway, let’s get going…entering his ring, weighing in tonight at a perfect 220 pounds, Mr. Monday Night, The Whole F’N Show, the SRW Undisputed Champion of ALL the World…Rob – Van – Dam!
*Even louder booing*
My God, the fans are so incensed at RVD(AJ) that they are throwing objects at him! Shocking scenes here, as we get under way…RVD(AJ), still wearing his belt(!) tells the time-keeper to ring the bell…
DING! DING! DING!
Here we go! Chris Benoit(Grandprix) focuses on the face of Chris Jericho(Figo), while RVD(AJ) stands on the second rope, goading some fans into throwing more trash at him. Chris Benoit(Grandprix) runs for Jericho, but Y2J seems to have learnt how to run from people after that destruction by Steve Austin last week. Now they hook up – collar and elbow tie-up, and Benoit gets a hammerlock locked in on the left arm of Jericho; Jericho responds in kind, but Benoit is able to grab the right leg of Chris Jericho(Figo) and sweep him onto his back, forcing Jericho into a pinning predicament:
1
KICK OUT! Early attempt to win the match never really looked as though it would earn Chris Benoit(Grandprix) the victory, but I’ll have to admit that RVD(AJ) made a fair count at that moment. Jericho backs off, but Chris Benoit(Grandprix), being the Rabid Wolverine as he is, immediately grasps Jericho’s injured head into a headlock: normally, this wouldn’t have very much affect usually, but with Y2J’s head in so much distress as it is, this could be the end of the match! Jericho, however, battles out and again puts Benoit’s left arm into a hammerlock; Benoit grabs Jericho’s head with his right arm and throws him over with a snapmare, before bouncing off the ropes opposite and hitting a quick low dropkick to Jericho’s face! Smooth moves by the pair of them, before Benoit halted any possible Jericho momentum. Chris Jericho(Figo) gets up onto his feet, where he is met with a stern kick to the gut. Benoit pushes him onto the ropes; Irish whip by Chris Benoit(Grandprix); Jericho comes back, attempts the flying forearm, but Benoit ducks underneath; runs into the ropes and leaps over the fallen Y2J; returns off the ropes and hits Y2J with a strong shoulder block. Benoit bounces off the ropes again, stops near Chris Jericho(Figo), and drops the head! Stalling headbutt by Benoit, who goes for the cover:
1
RVD(AJ) takes a look at Benoit…
Slow, slow count!
2
KICK OUT! RVD(AJ) looks at Benoit and shrugs his shoulders, while Chris Jericho(Figo) tries to recover in some way. RVD(AJ) is clearly going to have some troubles controlling his challenger to the crown during this match, but Jericho notices Benoit’s lack in concentration – school boy:
1
2
KICK OUT! Benoit(Grandprix) is incensed, and is chasing the referee around the ring! He’d better be careful, because RVD(AJ) can be dangerous with speed, and Chris Jericho(Figo) is lurking around the ring, ready to pounce…RVD(AJ) hits a moonsault press off the guard rail on Chris Benoit(Grandprix), but hits his head on the floor! Sickening move there, but Van Dam(AJ) has got back on his feet already, and is running back into the ring:
1
2
3
4
5 – He’s counting Benoit out and high speed!
6
7 – Benoit’s back up, now and is heading back for the ring-
8
9 – Benoit’s back in!
Chris Benoit(Grandprix)’s staring at RVD(AJ), but once again, Jericho sneaks up behind Benoit into a roll-up:
1
2 - KICK OUT AGAIN! Benoit’s had enough, and he’s clubbed RVD(AJ) with a huge right hand! Chris Benoit(Grandprix) locks RVD(AJ) in the Crippler Crossface! RVD(AJ)’s wailing in pain as Jericho goes outside and fetches a chair! Y2J re-enters the ring, chair in hand, gears up and SMACKS BENOIT OVER THE HEAD! Benoit falls to his right and Jericho’s more than happy to scoop him into a tight pin, but Van Dam(AJ)’s been incapacitated by that Crippler Crossface! Jericho’s screaming out to RVD(AJ), and now RVD(AJ) begins to count:
1
2
KICK OUT! Chris Benoit(Grandprix) managed to avoid that pin loss by mere milliseconds! Benoit and Van Dam(AJ) are now both busted open (Van Dam(AJ) was opened up by that connection with the floor after the moonsault press on Benoit), and Chris Jericho(Figo) looks like a complete idiot…ladies and gentleman, in my many weeks with SRW, I’ve never seen anything quite so ridiculous-looking as this…Chris Benoit(Grandprix) is now crawling to the nearest rope, while Jericho prepares himself for another chairshot – why RVD(AJ) hasn’t disqualified is pretty clear, as he’s desperate for Benoit to lose going into Burnout, hopefully with one or two injuries picked up along the way as well. Jericho is now raising the chair above his head, but Benoit’s spotted Chris Jericho(Figo) in his peripheral vision – Jericho goes for the shot, but Benoit swerves to the side and JERICHO HITS THE ROPES, SENDING THE CHAIR BACK INTO HIS FACE! Oh my God!
Chris Benoit hooks Jericho up now, SNAP SUPLEX! RVD(AJ) approaches, but Benoit catches him too – SNAP SUPLEX ONTO JERICHO! Ingenious moves being used by Benoit to take apart this tandem, who are committed to making Benoit lose this match-up! Chris Jericho(Figo) gets pulled up by the Rabid Wolverine, who throws Jericho’s left arm over his head, into a high, high, HIGH BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! RVD(AJ)’s back up again, but Benoit ducks underneath the raised right arm, clenches his hands around the waist, hits a BEAUTIFUL GERMAN SUPLEX! Jericho’s also back on his feet, but he gets the same treatment – GERMAN SUPLEX AGAIN! RVD(AJ) now pulls Chris Jericho(Figo) back onto his feet, but Benoit gets wise to their scheming ways, goes around both men’s waists, he can’t be serious, it’s Benoit, with both RVD(AJ) and Jericho in front – DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX! How can one man have so much strength and flexibility?! Once again, Chris Benoit(Grandprix) helps Y2J up, and hits another snap suplex! Benoit looks at the crowd, and slices his neck with his thumb; he says it’s all over!
Chris Benoit’s going up to the top, stretches out the arms, AND DROPS THE HEAD! Wonderful Swan Dive Headbutt by the no.1 contender, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)! Cover:
1
2
PIN BROKEN UP BY RVD(AJ)! RVD(AJ) broke up the pin with the very hand he was meant to end the match with! Come on, somebody get me a real ref! RVD(AJ) stands up, and hits a somersault leg drop on Benoit! This is ridiculous! What else can Benoit withstand, he’s a machine, but-
*Smashing glass*
IT’S AUSTIN! Austin(Jericho15)’s here! He slides into the ring, smashes Benoit(Grandprix) in the face, ditto for RVD(AJ), and now is slamming his fist into the leather-clad features of Chris Jericho(Figo)! But wait, here come security! Obviously, Austin is not allowed into SRW at the present time, and so security are here to ‘escort’ him outside! One officer goes up to Austin(Jericho15), but he’s got knocked down! The entire mass of security converge on the Drunken Redneck, take him down, and now Austin is in handcuffs! He’s being wrestled out of the ring and out of the building-
*Arena turns orange*
*Oriental music hits*
Wait a second! What’s this? Who’s this! IT’S THE ROCK! The Rock(Starlight) has now entered the fray! He’s sporting a fetching orange sash, and now he’s in the ring! RVD(AJ) goes up to meet him, throws a spinning heel kick, but Rocky ducks – ROCK BOTTOM ON RVD(AJ)! The People’s Champion pulls Jericho into the middle of the ring, and now he’s about to hit The Most Electrifying Move In Sports Entertainment Today – The People’s Elbow! Off the ropes, winds it up – THERE IT IS! Jericho holds his chest in pain while The Rock(Starlight) Irish whips RVD(AJ) into the corner; RVD(AJ) wanders slowly out; SPINEBUSTER! The crowd have gone berserk! The Rock is now…going to the top rope? Rocky’s sat himself down on the top rope, and is now getting himself in the locus position! The Rock is in the locus position on the top rope, but he’s leaning forward a little too far – HEADBUTT BY THE ROCK! The Rock looks over the havoc he’s caused, breathing heavily-
*Thunder strike rips though the arena*
What in the hell is going on now? The arena is in pandemonium, and – IT’S THE POWERS THAT BE! Those hooded maniacs are here now, and one has a chainsaw! They’re sprinting down to the ring, and are met there by a vigilant Rock(Starlight)! Rocky hits the first one down, but the second STRIKES THE ROCK WITH THE CHAINSAW! Oh my God, what insanity! The first one is back up again, now, and is attacking Chris Benoit(Grandprix) with all his might! I don’t know if Benoit can take much more punishment, as the chainsaw-wielding one comes up to him – Benoit dropkicks the knee! The chainsaw falls out of the ring, while Benoit tries to fend off these evil unwanted demons of Hell! Benoit’s throwing all the rights and lefts he can, but the power of the Powers That Be is just too much for him! They whip him into the ropes, and hoist him up in a tandem military press…they throw him up in the air, turn him and hit a tandem DDT! Benoit’s been spiked right on his head!
*Smashing glass*
Again? Austin’s back, with the handcuffs’ chain broken, and he’s throwing massive rights into the faces of the Powers That Be! One goes down, but Austin kicks the other in the mid-section – STUNNER! RVD(AJ) tries to attack Stone Cold(Jericho15), but he gets a boot to the stomach – STUNNER FOR RVD(AJ)! And here come security, all over again! They’re armed with night-sticks now! They enter the ring, and start to rain down blows on Austin’s back! The Rock(Starlight) is back up, and is hitting the Powers That Be at every possible occasion, AND BENOIT LOCKS JERICHO IN THE CROSSFACE! In amongst all this madness, Chris Benoit(Grandprix) has locked Jericho(Figo) in the Crippler Crossface! He’s wrenching at the head, face and neck of Jericho, but wait! RVD(AJ) grabs Benoit’s legs, tilts Benoit over, straight onto his shoulders:
1
2
3! NO! NO! Jericho(Figo) has stolen this match! But there’s still mayhem in the ring! The Rock(Starlight) has been thrown out of the ring, as has Austin, who is being dragged to a nearby jail facility, and now Benoit is being destroyed by all four men! Jericho’s telling the others to move aside, as he picks up the legs of Benoit(Grandprix), and turns him into the WALLS OF JERICHO! RVD(AJ) is telling Jericho something, and has leapt to the top rope – FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH on the back of Benoit’s head! Jericho releases the Walls, and now…it can’t be…the Powers That Be are removing their cloaks…?! Hang on a second, the hoods are separate, so we still don’t know who these people are but the cloaks are off-they’re wearing shirts for…for the…blue World order?
***
And so we end again. Anyway, lots of heat going into the match at Burnout, and everyone else thrown in for fun.
:-D
That really was brilliant - overfilled with violence and action-packed all the way through, and these Powers That Be are slowly being revealed...
The Rock/Austin/Jericho/Benioit/RVD/Strange people (:-D) angle is coming along nicely too.
Very enjoyable to read taht one, great in ring action with twists and turns galore. And Jericho managed to sneak the win, Yipey!
Nice one LL Cool TT.
Blue World Order, eh? Humm...
You've added a whole new dimension to the SRW frey LL, nice one indeed.

He’d better be careful, because RVD(AJ) can be dangerous with speed, and Chris Jericho(Figo) is lurking around the ring, ready to pounce…RVD(AJ) hits a moonsault press off the guard rail on Chris Benoit(Grandprix), but hits his head on the floor! Sickening move there, but Van Dam(AJ) has got back on his feet already, and is running back into the ring:

4
5 – He’s counting Benoit out and high speed!
6
7 – Benoit’s back up, now and is heading back for the ring-

9 – Benoit’s back in!
Chris Benoit(Grandprix)’s staring at RVD(AJ), but once again, Jericho sneaks up behind Benoit into a roll-up:

2 - KICK OUT AGAIN! Benoit’s had enough, and he’s clubbed RVD(AJ) with a huge right hand! Chris Benoit(Grandprix) locks RVD(AJ) in the Crippler Crossface! RVD(AJ)’s wailing in pain as Jericho goes outside and fetches a chair! Y2J re-enters the ring, chair in hand, gears up and SMACKS BENOIT OVER THE HEAD! Benoit falls to his right and Jericho’s more than happy to scoop him into a tight pin, but Van Dam(AJ)’s been incapacitated by that Crippler Crossface! Jericho’s screaming out to RVD(AJ), and now RVD(AJ) begins to count:

KICK OUT! Chris Benoit(Grandprix) managed to avoid that pin loss by mere milliseconds! Benoit and Van Dam(AJ) are now both busted open (Van Dam(AJ) was opened up by that connection with the floor after the moonsault press on Benoit), and Chris Jericho(Figo) looks like a complete idiot…ladies and gentleman, in my many weeks with SRW, I’ve never seen anything quite so ridiculous-looking as this…Chris Benoit(Grandprix) is now crawling to the nearest rope, while Jericho prepares himself for another chairshot – why RVD(AJ) hasn’t disqualified is pretty clear, as he’s desperate for Benoit to lose going into Burnout, hopefully with one or two injuries picked up along the way as well. Jericho is now raising the chair above his head, but Benoit’s spotted Chris Jericho(Figo) in his peripheral vision – Jericho goes for the shot, but Benoit swerves to the side and JERICHO HITS THE ROPES, SENDING THE CHAIR BACK INTO HIS FACE! Oh my God!
Chris Benoit hooks Jericho up now, SNAP SUPLEX! RVD(AJ) approaches, but Benoit catches him too – SNAP SUPLEX ONTO JERICHO! Ingenious moves being used by Benoit to take apart this tandem, who are committed to making Benoit lose this match-up! Chris Jericho(Figo) gets pulled up by the Rabid Wolverine, who throws Jericho’s left arm over his head, into a high, high, HIGH BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! RVD(AJ)’s back up again, but Benoit ducks underneath the raised right arm, clenches his hands around the waist, hits a BEAUTIFUL GERMAN SUPLEX! Jericho’s also back on his feet, but he gets the same treatment – GERMAN SUPLEX AGAIN! RVD(AJ) now pulls Chris Jericho(Figo) back onto his feet, but Benoit gets wise to their scheming ways, goes around both men’s waists, he can’t be serious, it’s Benoit, with both RVD(AJ) and Jericho in front – DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX! How can one man have so much strength and flexibility?! Once again, Chris Benoit(Grandprix) helps Y2J up, and hits another snap suplex! Benoit looks at the crowd, and slices his neck with his thumb; he says it’s all over!
Chris Benoit’s going up to the top, stretches out the arms, AND DROPS THE HEAD! Wonderful Swan Dive Headbutt by the no.1 contender, Chris Benoit(Grandprix)! Cover:

PIN BROKEN UP BY RVD(AJ)! RVD(AJ) broke up the pin with the very hand he was meant to end the match with! Come on, somebody get me a real ref! RVD(AJ) stands up, and hits a somersault leg drop on Benoit! This is ridiculous! What else can Benoit withstand, he’s a machine, but-
*Smashing glass*
IT’S AUSTIN! Austin(Jericho15)’s here! He slides into the ring, smashes Benoit(Grandprix) in the face, ditto for RVD(AJ), and now is slamming his fist into the leather-clad features of Chris Jericho(Figo)! But wait, here come security! Obviously, Austin is not allowed into SRW at the present time, and so security are here to ‘escort’ him outside! One officer goes up to Austin(Jericho15), but he’s got knocked down! The entire mass of security converge on the Drunken Redneck, take him down, and now Austin is in handcuffs! He’s being wrestled out of the ring and out of the building-
*Arena turns orange*
*Oriental music hits*
Wait a second! What’s this? Who’s this! IT’S THE ROCK! The Rock(Starlight) has now entered the fray! He’s sporting a fetching orange sash, and now he’s in the ring! RVD(AJ) goes up to meet him, throws a spinning heel kick, but Rocky ducks – ROCK BOTTOM ON RVD(AJ)! The People’s Champion pulls Jericho into the middle of the ring, and now he’s about to hit The Most Electrifying Move In Sports Entertainment Today – The People’s Elbow! Off the ropes, winds it up – THERE IT IS! Jericho holds his chest in pain while The Rock(Starlight) Irish whips RVD(AJ) into the corner; RVD(AJ) wanders slowly out; SPINEBUSTER! The crowd have gone berserk! The Rock is now…going to the top rope? Rocky’s sat himself down on the top rope, and is now getting himself in the locus position! The Rock is in the locus position on the top rope, but he’s leaning forward a little too far – HEADBUTT BY THE ROCK! The Rock looks over the havoc he’s caused, breathing heavily-
*Thunder strike rips though the arena*
What in the hell is going on now? The arena is in pandemonium, and – IT’S THE POWERS THAT BE! Those hooded maniacs are here now, and one has a chainsaw! They’re sprinting down to the ring, and are met there by a vigilant Rock(Starlight)! Rocky hits the first one down, but the second STRIKES THE ROCK WITH THE CHAINSAW! Oh my God, what insanity! The first one is back up again, now, and is attacking Chris Benoit(Grandprix) with all his might! I don’t know if Benoit can take much more punishment, as the chainsaw-wielding one comes up to him – Benoit dropkicks the knee! The chainsaw falls out of the ring, while Benoit tries to fend off these evil unwanted demons of Hell! Benoit’s throwing all the rights and lefts he can, but the power of the Powers That Be is just too much for him! They whip him into the ropes, and hoist him up in a tandem military press…they throw him up in the air, turn him and hit a tandem DDT! Benoit’s been spiked right on his head!
*Smashing glass*
Again? Austin’s back, with the handcuffs’ chain broken, and he’s throwing massive rights into the faces of the Powers That Be! One goes down, but Austin kicks the other in the mid-section – STUNNER! RVD(AJ) tries to attack Stone Cold(Jericho15), but he gets a boot to the stomach – STUNNER FOR RVD(AJ)! And here come security, all over again! They’re armed with night-sticks now! They enter the ring, and start to rain down blows on Austin’s back! The Rock(Starlight) is back up, and is hitting the Powers That Be at every possible occasion, AND BENOIT LOCKS JERICHO IN THE CROSSFACE! In amongst all this madness, Chris Benoit(Grandprix) has locked Jericho(Figo) in the Crippler Crossface! He’s wrenching at the head, face and neck of Jericho, but wait! RVD(AJ) grabs Benoit’s legs, tilts Benoit over, straight onto his shoulders:

3! NO! NO! Jericho(Figo) has stolen this match! But there’s still mayhem in the ring! The Rock(Starlight) has been thrown out of the ring, as has Austin, who is being dragged to a nearby jail facility, and now Benoit is being destroyed by all four men! Jericho’s telling the others to move aside, as he picks up the legs of Benoit(Grandprix), and turns him into the WALLS OF JERICHO! RVD(AJ) is telling Jericho something, and has leapt to the top rope – FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH on the back of Benoit’s head! Jericho releases the Walls, and now…it can’t be…the Powers That Be are removing their cloaks…?! Hang on a second, the hoods are separate, so we still don’t know who these people are but the cloaks are off-they’re wearing shirts for…for the…blue World order?

And so we end again. Anyway, lots of heat going into the match at Burnout, and everyone else thrown in for fun.
