VIVA LA RAINBOWLUTION!!!
![]()
|
The scene opens with a video montage of various CZW superstars being interviewed in the bowels of arenas around the world. After a few moments, a big metal locker drops into view, as the backdrop fades into black. The locker creaks open, and the CZW logo flies out, along with the words “The Locker Room”, written in barbed wire-style lettering. The image disperses, and the camera cuts to a small studio, furnished with a freshly-varnished table and a black leather couch. Behind the table sits a man, recognizable to hardcore CZW viewers as Team XTC’s Head of Publicity, Adam ver Tising. The sound of applause rings around the room as the theme music fades, and Adam milks it for a moment before beginning his address. AVT: Hello and welcome to a new edition of “The Locker Room”, the show that takes you backstage and right into the very heart of both CZW and its superstars. On tonight’s special broadcast - exclusive for CZW.com - we’re taking an in-depth look at the history of a match that has forged perhaps a bigger reputation than any other in the business of professional wrestling.. The Greenhouse Match! CZW is due to stage its fifth instalment of this brutal, bloody contest this week on Overdrive, when the EPIC Champion El Pablo takes on one half of the newly-crowned Global Tag Team Champions.. KIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! So, who could be more appropriate a guest for tonight’s show than one of said competitors, and indeed the very man who devised and debuted the stipulation that has become one of the cornerstones of CZW? I speak of course, of the “Five Star Superstar”.. EL PABLO! “Rebel Rebel” begins to play across the studio PA, and El Pablo steps out from behind a curtain to rapturous applause, dressed in full ring-gear with both the EPIC and the Grand Slam belts wrapped around his waist. He bows to the audience, then heads over to the desk, shaking ver Tising’s hand before taking a seat on the couch. PABLO! PABLO! PABLO! AVT: El Pablo, welcome once again to the locker room! EP: Thanks Adam, always nice to help whore out our own product! AVT: Ha, but of course! Now, before we get down to business.. EP: Giggidy.. AVT: ..let’s talk about last week. You were officially crowned CZW’s first ever Grand Slam Champion by the Damages, re-branded the Intercontinental Championship, and teamed up with new World Heavyweight Champion Cage Stryker to defeat the team of Tim Timmons and Justin Marsham. Not a bad night, all in all. EP: You could say that, yeah! Haha! Honestly, I think the only way that night could’ve got any better is if Kelly Kelly herself had come down to the ring after the main event and had her dirty way with me right there on the mat! Oh.. and obviously the whole “getting shit-kicked by Timmons” was a bit of a downer. But then, at least that’s a sign that the natural order of the CZW is heading somewhat back into line. Having Double T lording it over you for an entire month is an experience I wouldn’t wish on anybody, I think it’s much better for the sake of humanity that we have me and Cage pinning his ass, and him throwing a hissy-fit afterwards. A necessary evil, if you will. As for the Grand Slam.. well, what can I say? It was an absolute honour to be rewarded in that way by Derek and Brian, definitely one of the highlights of my career. I still feel at times like I need to work that little bit harder than everyone else to truly show I deserve to be at the top, so to be given something like this *pats Grand Slam belt* is pretty awesome. It’s something no-one can argue with, you know? AVT: And what about the Intercontinental/EPIC Title thing? What was your reasoning behind that? EP laughs. EP: Well, my friends in the business call me EP.. I’m holding the IC title.. E-P-I-C spells “epic”.. and, as with most of the decisions I’ve made in my CZW career, I just figured “f**k it, why not”? Could be funny, could bomb like an inappropriate military joke.. either way, it’s gonna be EPIC! AVT: Haha.. Okay.. we can sustain this no longer.. let us talk about the Greenhouse Match. Now, you’re credited with creating the concept and putting it into action.. How did that come about? What was your inspiration? EP: WELL.. at the time, I’d spent the majority of my CZW career embroiled in a feud with the team of New Blood Rising, comprised of “The Phenomenal” Adam Swinger and “America’s Favourite” Tim Timmons. Now, Tim had spent the first couple of weeks of February coming out to the ring and attacking me from behind.. much like he’s doing today, in fact! Anyway, the week before Broken Hearts, Broken Bones - which was the Pay-Per-View the Greenhouse Match debuted at - I’d been the special referee in the diva’s debut 6-person tag match. Later in the show, I went out to grab something to drink, and ended up bumping into Timmons and his big gay bear Carnage. Before I knew what was happening, the two of them were beating the crap of me, and I ended up being thrown full-tilt through a window. Now, obviously I wasn’t gonna let that stand, so I went to see Alan Fiscus - who was the GM at the time - and demanded a match against Tim at the Pay-Per-View. Only trouble was, I didn’t have a concrete stipulation in mind. I knew I wanted glass to be involved in some way, because that’s how the system works in this business. You know, someone slams you through a table, you have a tables match, that sort of thing. So anyway, I’m sitting in the AMP XTC tourbus one night, watching random wrestling matches on the internet, when I come across a match from.. I think it was FMW. Cactus Jack vs Wing Kanimura in a deathmatch. They had the standard barbed-wire ropes, but outside the ring they had two, like, long wooden crates, where each of the “faces” were filled in with panes of glass. So I’m watching the match, and as it goes on.. a light goes off in my head. I’ve got it. Four glass tables, each occupying one side of the ring next to the apron. Few more glass panes scattered around, along with all the chairs, ladders and other shit you’d expect to find in your normal hardcore match. Guaranteed pain, guaranteed brutality.. guaranteed revenge for the Five Star Superstar. I rang Alan up, talked him through the idea.. and the rest is history. AVT: Nice! Now, as far as the match itself goes.. did you think at the time that it would turn out to be as influential as it was? EP: Oh no, not at all. I mean, I thought it was a good idea, and you usually get a sense when you’re out there of how well it’s working and going over, but I never thought we’d be in a position where the company’s set to stage its fifth instalment! AVT: Do you have a favourite moment from that match? Besides you winning, obviously. EP: Haha. Yes I do. A pretty obvious one, maybe, but here it is.. The screen cuts to replay footage of said match. ---------- -Pablo sets the ladder up in the center of the ring as Timmons takes mocking shots at the fans with the steel chair. Timmons smirks at their gullability and turns back towards the ring, where El Pablo delivers a baseball slide kick to the steel chair, knocking it back into Timmon's face. Timmons turns and stumbles, landing on top of the next glass table. Pablo's face lights up with opportunity. He begins climbing the ladder...- DANIELS: "Don't do it champ! It's not worth your career!" MASTERS: "Don't do it Pablo! You're not worth Timmon's career!" -Pablo stands at the top of the ladder, high above the ring and raises his hands high in the air, the fans screaming louder than ever. He leaps off with huge senton bomb! He plummets down and across Timmons, both men crashing through the glass table, which explodes everywhere! Security is having to push the first few rows of fans back for their own protection. Everyone is in awe. The commentators are in silence- -Timmons is lying over shards of glass that have torn into his back and ripped his flesh, Pablo barely twitching on top of him- MASTERS: "No!" DANIELS: "Oh my god! The champ just put his own body on the line to drive Timmons through that glass table! The challenger's body is lacerated everywhere! I can't tell where one cut begins and another ends!" ---------- The screen cuts back to the studio. EP: I’m sure that actually hurt me as much as it hurt him, haha! AVT: Well, like you said yourself, “guaranteed pain”. You must have expected to get at least a little hurt yourself, surely? EP: Oh yeah, well shit, that’s half of my strategy, haha! “High-risk” isn’t just a snappy advertising slogan. That said, I wasn’t quite planning on being blind by the time it ended, Tim really did a number on me there. AVT: Were you actually blind? EP: You want me to take a broken glass fist to your face and see what happens? AVT: You know what? ..I think I’ll take your word for it. The two share a laugh. AVT: Okay, so you and Tim set the standard. A full 9 months later, we get the sequel. This time, it’s Timmons taking on your opponent for this week, Mike King, on Overdrive. What did you think of that match? EP takes a moment to think about his answer. EP: Honestly? I wasn’t a fan. For me, it was over all too quickly, and they only used one table! I can understand the idea of wanting to beat your opponent as quick as possible and get it over and done with.. but come on, at least string it out a bit and give the fans a spectacle! AVT: Some strong words there! I dunno really.. do you think it may have suffered from having to follow your one? The expectations would have been incredibly high for it. EP: Fair point, and I suppose I’m always gonna be a little biased, and exceptionally precious over it compared to everyone else. Similar thing to the Bossman vs Taker Hell in a Cell, perhaps. A decent match, but one that didn’t quite hit the heights of its predecessors. AVT: Dare we ask for a favourite moment? EP: Well, as a “high-spot” freak, there’s only one thing I could really go for.. THE table break. The screen cuts to another highlight reel. ---------- Mike and Tim both get up as they both hit lefts and rights, Tim gets the advantage as he throws Mike at the ropes, he bounces off and goes for a knee kick, but Timmons dodges as Mike gets caught on the top rope, his groin getting the impact, Timmons now dives towards him hitting a Clothesline from Hell but luckily Mike only lands on the apron and avoids the glass tables Tim screams in anger as he grabs Mike, but Mike shoulder barges Tim in the gut, then grabs Timmons and lifts him up high, a stalling suplex on the apron… DANIELS: HOLY CRAP! TIM IS TEETERING ON THE EDGE HERE! MASTERS: DROP HIM! Mike loses footing though as Tim avoids danger, now reversing the situation as he suplexes King back into the ring. The fans now boo as does Masters. Tim goes over to Mike as he violently starts to mount and punch him, Mike reverses it though as both men roll on the floor, both bleeding heavily from head wounds. Mike gets up as Tim tires to spear him, but misses as he goes head first into the steel turnbuckle post, Mike then from behind grabs him and hit’s a German Suplex. Tim seems out of it as Mike gets the fans rowdy, now climbing to the top rope. Mike looks to soar off the top as Tim seems out. But all of a sudden, Tim was playing possum as he dives up and jumps onto the top rope. Both men try and brawl but Timmons lifts Mike up onto his shoulders… DANIELS: NO…NO…DON’T DO IT! MASTERS: OH MY GOD! SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT! DANIELS: CANADIAN DRIVER THROUGH THE FREAKIN’ GLASS TABLES…GODDAMMIT! MASTERS: Both men could be dead here, and I’m not joking, we need help, I wanted blood but this has gone too far. ---------- The screen cuts back to the studio. AVT: Alright.. Episode Three. Not such a long wait this time, just three months before Alan Fiscus and Matt Stylez took their rivalry to the ‘House on the 1 year anniversary of its debut. What did you think of this one? EP: I liked it. Obviously Alan and Matt are unbelievable wrestlers, fond of the odd high-risk maneuvre, and sadistic bastards to boot, all of which adds up to the perfect recipe for Greenhouse destruction! Again, it wasn’t the longest match in the world, but they managed to squeeze a lot of action into it before Alan took control. AVT: Favourite moment? EP: Oooh.. tough one. There were so many highlights all crammed together. I’ll go for.. Fiscus wheelbarrowing Matt through one of the tables. BAH GAWD! Another cut. ---------- Daniels: “Stylez stomping Fiscus while he’s down, knocking him down into those shattered glass shards! Now he heads up onto the ring apron! Look at Fiscus, crawling through the glass to get to his feet, his back and arms now bleeding from the shards! Stylez runs along the apron and jumps! Somersault senton!!” Finch: “OOOOOOOH YEEEAAAAAH! DID YOU SEE THAT SHIT!?” Masters: “Fiscus dives out of the way and Stylez crashes through a glass pane! What impact as Stylez crashes through the table back-first!!” Daniels: “Fiscus now back up, heading to where Stylez has just crash-landed through a sheet of glass, and he drags him towards that table! What’s he going to do now!?” Finch: “He’s got him by the legs…AW, YEAH!! WHEELBARROW SUPLEX!!” Masters: “STYLEZ CRASHES THROUGH THE GLASS TABLE!!” ---------- Back to the studio. EP: I’ve taken a few Fiscus suplexes in my time, that guy doesn’t mess about! AVT: I’m sure he doesn’t! So.. the final point thus far on our Greenhouse countdown. April 25th.. No Remorse.. Vlad Valo.. vs Tim Timmons.. vs Ian Chadwick.. vs Cage Stryker. EP: Oh! OH! Absolute classic! AVT: You think? EP: Oh man, absolutely! If I could write up exactly how I’d want a Greenhouse Match to look.. that match would be it. It had EVERYTHING. Blood, high-risk, blood, stretchers, blood, innovation.. and blood. AVT: Why do you think it all worked so well? EP: Well, obviously it’s all down to the guys involved. Tim, you obviously know all about, but then you’ve got Cage, who slowly developed into the third great beacon of the CZW X-Division; you’ve got Valo, who’s as sinister and sadistic as they come, and of course my old buddy Chadwick, who would sooner cut out his own ribcage than back down from a fight. Some of those moves, man.. even I was sat there thinking “how the hell did you think of that!?”. AVT: Dare I ask if you have a single favourite moment? EP laughs again. EP: Oh man, Adam, you’re actually killing me! Erm.. Can I pick two? AVT: Sure. EP: Okay, the first is Ian’s legdrop onto Cage and Valo. Pretty early on, but an awesome moment nonetheless. The screen cuts. ---------- Valo slams the mat, a little frustrated. He pulls Cage back to his feet, but Cage catches him off-guard with a shot to the face. He hits him again, and again, and kicks him in the stomach, then steps back into the ropes. He bounces off, and steps forward, but Valo grabs him, hoisting him high above his head in a military press. Valo screams out, then turns and steps towards the side of the ring. DANIELS: Oh god, YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! Valo shapes to throw Cage over the ring and into another table, but Cage somehow fights free, dropping to his feet in the ring behind Valo. Valo snarls, and turns back into the ring, charging towards Cage. As he approaches, Cage leaps to his feet and spears Valo down to the mat. However, still suffering from Valo's attacks, it takes Cage a while to get back to his feet, and by the time he does so, Valo is also getting up. Valo charges again, and looks for a clothesline, but Cage ducks. Valo hits the ropes, but Cage stops himself, and catches Valo with a superkick. Cage makes the cover.. ONE.. - - - - TWO.. - - DANIELS: Oh, but wait a minute, Chadwick's up top! - SSSSSMMMMMAAAAASSSSSHHHHH!!!!! DANIELS: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! IAN CHADWICK WITH A LEG DROP, RIGHT THROUGH A PANE OF GLASS, RIGHT ONTO THE HEAD OF CAGE STRYKER! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! MASTERS: Did I actually just SEE that!? THAT WAS INSANE! All three men are writhing on the floor in agony, Chadwick clutching the back of his leg, Cage holding the side of his face, and Valo with his hands over his face. DANIELS: The ring looks like a goddamn car wreck! ---------- The camera cuts back live. EP: I’m actually jealous I didn’t get to do that first. Unbelievable! AVT: And your second moment? EP: The second moment isssssss.. Tim introducing salt for what I believe was the first time to a CZW ring. AVT: Let’s see it! ---------- Timmons heads over to the barricade, where one fan is stood with a tray full of a newly-bought fast food meal. The fan starts to berate Tim, who just stares at him in silence, his face a bloody mess. Suddenly, Timmons spits at the man, a mixture of blood and phlegm hitting him right in the face. The man recoils in horror, and Timmons snatches the food tray off him. Timmons takes a bite of the burger, grimacing in disgust at the taste. He throws the burger at the man, followed by the fries, and then throws the drink over half the front row, much to his own amusement. DANIELS: Oh COME ON! Those people are FANS! Paying fans! MASTERS: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! DANIELS: It's one thing to act like an asshole to your fellow professionals, but to the general public? Timmons is way out of line here! MASTERS: Oh shush, the guy deserved it! He shouldn't be eating that crap anyway, look at him! Dude needs a diet, and fast! Timmons is just trying to get that message across and help him. What an upstanding citizen he is. DANIELS: My ASS, Masters! MASTERS: Dammit Jarred, I told you, no! I don't swing that way! Timmons slides the tray into the ring, then kneels down beside the motionless Ian Chadwick. The camera zooms in on the tray, revealing several little blue packets still piled on it. One by one, Timmons tears the packets open, pouring the white, grainy substance out into another pile on the other side of the tray. DANIELS: Is that.. MASTERS: Oh man.. DANIELS: He wouldn't.. surely he wouldn't.. Timmons gets to his feet, and carefully lifts the tray up. He stares down at Chadwick, who slowly rolls over onto his stomach. Timmons grins a sick grin, then raises the tray up. DANIELS: No Tim.. An audible gasp fills the room, as Timmons suddenly slams the tray down onto Chadwick's back, causing the "Irish"man to scream out in agony. DANIELS: OH GOOD GRIEF! A TRAY FULL OF SALT! RIGHT ONTO THE MASS OF OPEN WOUNDS THAT IS IAN CHADWICK'S BACK! MASTERS: That's gotta sting like a BITCH! Chadwick is now thrashing about on the canvas, each move he makes forcing either more salt or more glass into his skin. Timmons, now showing no emotion whatsoever, gets back to his feet, pulling Chadwick with him. Timmons scoops his opponent up, suspending him head first over the glass. DANIELS: This is too much! BAM! Timmons nails Chadwick with the T-Crusher, broken shards of glass connecting with human skull. MASTERS: T-CRUSHER! It's over! Again! Timmons covers.. ONE.. - - - - TWO.. - - - - THRE-CAGE BREAKS IT UP! DANIELS: BAH GAWD! Where the hell did he come from!? MASTERS: DAMMIT!!! Indeed, Cage had dived across the ring, catching Timmons in the head with an elbow. ---------- And we’re live. EP: That looked fricking BRUTAL. AVT: Come on! Surely you must have taken a pinch of salt in your time? EP: I actually haven’t, thank god! The most painful thing I’ve suffered here in the CZW was probably when I missed a moonsault onto a load of tacks against Rave, and I think even that would pale in comparison to getting salt smashed into your skin! AVT: Well, fortunately I’m not in a position to either confirm or deny that theory. EP: You’re telling me! AVT: Alright, well, obviously you were a huge fan of Greenhouse IV.. what of Greenhouse V? Do you think that can live up to the same standards? A wry smile spreads across EP’s face. EP: We’ll just have to see, won’t we? AVT: How did you feel when you first saw the booking? How do you feel now, with Overdrive just a few days away? EP: Honestly? I’m excited. REALLY excited. I’ve always said that I’m still an X-Division boy at heart. Stuff like this is what got me interested in wrestling in the first place, not to mention the fact that it was the Greenhouse Match that really put me on the map here in the CZW. So I always get a great wave of excitement running through me when I know I’m getting the opportunity to throw caution to the wind and bring the hardcore offence out. As far as the booking itself goes.. well, it’s just another twist in the XTC-TNG rivalry, isn’t it? Obviously I can’t fight Tim.. AGAIN.. as he’s got his sights set on Cage.. AGAIN.. so the higher-ups have obviously seen fit to have.. KIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! ..be the sacrificial lamb to the slaughter at my glass altar. AVT: Maybe. He certainly had some strong words for you this week, calling you - among other things - “a pussy”. What do you have to say to that? EP: Heh.. you know what I said earlier about having to work that little bit harder to prove myself? Whatever, I’m a pussy, KING’s the CZW equivalent of The Artist Formerly Known As Prince. Except without the womanising reputation. Apparently being “short” doesn’t work as well for him as it does for Prince, if you catch my drift. I’ve gotta say, though.. I’ve had a lot of insults thrown my way over the last year and a half or so.. but not once has anyone had the nerve.. the sheer AUDACITY.. to call me a pussy. EP turns to face the camera, a stern look on his face. EP: KING, I sure hope you were referring to my outfit when you said that. Surely you can’t have actually been implying that I.. a former X, Tag and World Heavyweight Champion, not to mention the current EPIC champion.. the man who made hardcore wrestling the f**king Mount Everest of the CZW landscape.. am somehow a wuss.. a coward? Tell you what, KING, ask your boy Tim how much of a pussy I am. Ask him how it feels to face off against the Five Star Superstar under hardcore rules. While you’re at it, why not ask Justin Marsham as well? Then track down Matt Stylez and see what he thinks. Fact of the matter is, KING, that no-one says “hardcore” like El Pablo does. That little hardcore title reign of yours? Do you think the company would have even seen fit to create that belt, if it hadn’t been for me lifting the X-title from the shadows up to the very top of the CZW food chain? You said it yourself, KING.. “the Greenhouse match is one of the most dangerous matches in CZW. ..It was violent, it was brutal and very destructive. It is a match that can end your career, let alone kill you if you are not lucky.” Just run that through your mind a few times, and as you do so.. remember that it was ME who brought it to the table. All that violence, all that destruction, all that danger.. all from right inside the mind of me.. the Five Star Superstar.. the man you’ll be stepping into the ring with this week on Overdrive. But you know what the worst part is for you, KING? By letting the “cat” out of the bag, so-to-speak.. you’ve let the beast out of the cage. I actually had no real beef with you going into this match. Sure, you’re a part of the Next Generation, but besides you getting a victory in our only previous meeting in CZW history, I didn’t really feel any particular animosity towards you. Now though.. Hooooooo!.. I’m afraid that I’m pretty much gonna be FORCED to give you.. ..a glass-smashing.. ..skin-slashing.. ..blood-drawing.. ..crowd-roaring.. EL.. PABLO.. EXPERIENCE!!! EP pauses for a second, his eyes burning a hole through the camera lens from behind his mask. EP: Greenhouse 5.. the perfect environment, for a Five.. Star.. Superstar. The screen fades to black. |
