Tag Team Match
The Jokers Wild vs Chris Williams and Robert Garland
Barbara Braman: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
We Got Soul....
We Got Soul!...
WE GOT SOUL!...
"We Got Soul" begins to play over the PA system, the crowd starting to boo loudly. After a short while, Robert Garland and Chris Williams step out of the back, Travis Rech beside them with two former championship titles over his shoulders. Rech yells into the camera that "Garland is truth! Garland is honor! Garland is justice!" and Garland looks out at the audience before holding up 2 fingers on one hand and forming an 0 with the other as Chris Williams raises the MSW Pure 15 Championship trophy into the air triumphantly. The three of them head down the ramp, the camera catching the back of Garland's jacket where his name is outlined in gold lettering.
Barbara Braman: Introducing first, weighing in at a combined weight of 466lbs the team of Robert Garland and the MSW Pure 15 Champion, Chris Williams!
Smith: Welcome back to Unstoppable, I’m Alex Smith alongside my broadcast partner Mark Robertson and it’s time for what may be one of the most volatile matches on slate for tonight as The Jokers Wild reunite to take on what appears to be the new alliance of Robert Garland ad Chris Williams.
Robertson: Well Chris Williams is free to align with Robert Garlicbread at his own peril. Not only is he a psycho and unpredictable he reminds me of sidedish you serve with spaghetti and meatballs, how could anyone ever come to trust that? Garlic wards off vampires, mosquitos, and even basic human contact. This pairing stinks to hades I tell you!
Once the three hit the ring, Garland and Williams walk up the steps and onto the apron before Garland removes his jacket and Williams removes his necklace and hands it to the referee. Garland tosses his jacket down to Rech who places himself ringside. Garland then raises his arms in an "X" shape over his head and gives a twisted smile as Williams raises the trophy one more time before heading to their corner of the ring where Garland crouches down and waits for the match to begin.
The lights dim for a moment before going out completely as "Coming Home" by Avenged Sevenfold hits the MSW Arena. A spotlight shines on the curtain as the crowd can be heard roaring with approval.
Barbara Braman: And their opponents accompanied by Co-Head of Talent Relations Drew Stevenson weighing in at a combined weight of 453 Lbs the team of Scotty Addams and Frank Washington… JOKERS WILD!
Slowly Drew Stevenson emerges through the curtain as he starts walking down the ramp towards the ring as Garland and Williams can be seen with confused looks on their faces from the ambient light.
Smith: Well there’s Drew Stevenson but where’s Frank and Scotty?
Robertson: They’re playing mind games, come on Smith didn’t you manage them back in the Great White North? These three together will grasp whatever edge they can psychological or otherwise, Garlicbread and Williams are absolutely clueless to what’s going on. The benefit of being the boss is being able to have the proverbial nuclear football at your disposal. For all you know he could be out alone to announce a change to the match and put these guys through the ringer as a measure of revenge before finally picking up the scraps. Then again perhaps it’s all just a diversion, the beauty of wielding power is that you don’t necessarily need use it, sometimes the threat of it is enough.
The people watching at home could almost feel Smith roll his eyes at the condescending answer.
Smith: Oh thank you so much Steven Hawking for enlightening us. I don’t know what we EVER would’ve done without that tidbit.
Robertson: I’m tellin you Smith, give it a few shows and I’ll be doing commentary here alone in MSW. Not only am I flawless at my job I do a better job doing yours too!
As the lights go back on Garland can be seen mouthing a few words at Drew Stevenson as Rech’s eyes go wide. Rech shouts at his client and Williams to turn around but by now it was too late. As they turn around Frank Washington and Scotty Addams can be seen standing on the apron before springboarding into the ring and connecting with a pair of dropkicks. The referee quickly calls for the bell to start the match as Rech is practically pulling at his hair and slapping the apron in frustration as the Jokers Wild quickly take control. Garland and Williams scramble to regain their footing but the Jokers keep the gas on the pedal out of the gate and whip them to opposing corners. Frank and Scotty exchange glances and nod as Frank runs at Garland while Scotty runs at Williams as each hit a stinger splash in tandem before whipping their respective opponents into the middle of the ring causing them to collide! Rech tries to get on the apron but Drew Stevenson quickly catches him as Rech hops off and throws his arms up pleading innocence.
Smith: It’s amazing what a real tag team can do together in the ring. No disrespect to Daniel Smart but he doesn’t have quite the chemistry with Frank as well as his brothers do. These three have traveled across North America and Japan together racking up championships and leaving their mark in every single territory. They know each other inside and out, they know what the other is thinking before they even think it and it’s showing here tonight.
Robertson: This is what you get when you side with Garlicbread! I don’t think Williams understands what he got himself into!
Rech yells out to his team pounding the apron with his hands as both men roll out of the ring to regroup. Rech, Garland, and Williams huddle up outside the ring near the announce table to discuss a new plan of attack and regroup. Without missing a beat Frank drops on all fours as Scotty runs against the ropes before running of Frank’s back as a stepping stone before vaulting himself off the top rope with a devastating crossbody! As the opposing team and Rech fall like a stack of dominos Scotty moves out of the way as Frank can be seen climbing the turnbuckle and connects with a diving legdrop onto their foes!
Crowd: JOKERS WILD! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* JOKERS WILD! *clap ,clap, clap-clap-clap* JOKERS WILD! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* JOKERS WILD! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* JOKERS WILD! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*
All three Jokers Wild play to the crowd as the referee yells at all the competitors to get back into the ring before he starts counting.
1!
2!
Smith: The Jokers Wild aren’t used to such a positive reaction too often as a group but you can tell they’re enjoying every second of it right now.
3!
Robertson: A house divided against itself cannot stand and right now Williams and Garland definitely aren’t in sync with each other.
4!
Scotty Addams enters the ring as Frank Washington goes back to their corner. Meanwhile Robert Garland manages to grab onto the bottom rope for leverage as Rech manages to get in his ear, who hadn’t quite fully recovered himself who was taking a knee by the apron.
5!
6!
Finally Garland manages to roll back inside the ring. Scotty goes to pick him up but Garland moves in close and hits a swift undetected low blow with his knee, using his body to obstruct the referee’s view just enough to miss it. Garland quickly follows up with a DDT which drops Scotty down to the mat, still reeling from the lowblow as the crowd certainly voices their displeasure.
Crowd: FUCK YOU GARLAND! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* FUCK YOU GARLAND! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* FUCK YOU GARLAND! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* FUCK YOU GARLAND! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*
Smith: I can’t believe the referee didn’t see that!
Robertson: And neither can Mr. Stevenson! I told you that you can’t trust Garlicbread!
Sure enough Drew Stevenson could be seen yelling at the referee from ringside as the referee pleads his case of not seeing the illegal hit. Meanwhile Garland and Rech take advantage of choking Scotty Addams on the bottom rope as Garland moves him to the bottom rope and presses his foot down on his neck while Rech pulls down on his hair. Frank darts out of his corner and punches Garland in the back of the head as the crowd cheers on before he goes to kick Rech away from the ropes. The referee however turns around only to see Frank as the illegal man and not the dirty tactics of Garland and Rech and gets in his face ordering him back to his corner. Frank argues his case for running into the ring but the referee has none of it and threatens to disqualify his team if he doesn’t return to his corner within a 5 count.
Meanwhile Robertson can be seen holding up a few bills in his hand as a food vendor makes his way over to the announce table. Robertson takes his headset off as he haggles with the vendor before exchanging his money for a few slices of oven fresh garlic bread. He then sits down at table again and puts his headset on.
Smith: What happened to not being able to trust Garlicbread? You’ve taken every shot you could at Garland’s name so far only to turn around and order food in the middle of a match?
Robertson: Hey I meant what I said but sometimes you have a craving for vices you know aren’t good for you. No disrespect to Mr. Stevenson but right now Garlicbread is on fire after taking a bit of a beating early on. Sometimes momentum can swing at the drop of a dime and right now I’m going to indulge myself.
Crunching can be heard over the microphone as Robertson looks a bit disgusted.
Robertson: Hey this tastes like cardboard! I’m glad I didn’t pay $9.99 for this crap! I’m ordering from Luigi’s next time!
Smith: Do you honestly think they’d deliver to the arena? Come on now!
Robertson: Of course they do, it’s Luigi’s! I want some real Italian food in here!
Smith: That’s fine and well but we have a match to call, or did you forget to do your job you claim to do so much better? Garland is blatantly breaking the rules, Washington is getting crap from a chronically blind referee and all of it makes me sick!
Robertson: Hey watch it Smith, I’m allowed a meal break during Unstoppable. It’s in my contract, but of course you wouldn’t know that.
As the action cuts back to the ring Frank is already back in his corner, reluctantly while Williams, who has recovered by now is tagged in. Williams and Garland remain in control for the next several moments as they make frequent tags in and out as they keep Scotty Addams isolated much the same way they did several weeks ago with Daniel Smart. Williams focuses on the head with several kneedrops to head as the crowd lets him have it.
Crowd: YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT!
Looking a bit conflicted and agitated Williams pauses for a moment as he looks onto the crowd as Scotty tries to crawl over to his corner for the much needed tag. Garland seeing their advantage slipping away slaps Williams in the face as the referee slaps his hands to indicate a tag was made.
Robert Garland: Snap out of it! Don’t listen to these sheeple, we have justice to enact or do you want Frank Washington and his cronies to slink away?
Almost as if he were ordering traffic he instructs Williams to cut him off. Williams drives a stiff elbow into the back of Scotty as Garland grabs him by the leg dragging him to their corner. The referee begins counting but the two simply ignore him.
1!
Williams picks Scotty up off the mat and lifts him up in a vertical suplex as Garland climbs the turnbuckle.
2!
Williams slams Scotty down to the mat with authority as he vents a bit of frustraition.
3!
Garland with a sly smirk almost dares Frank Washington to come running into the ring as he points at him before running his thumb across his throat.
4!
Garland dives off the top rope, connecting with Scotty Addams with the Dumpster Dive as Williams exits the ring and stands in his team’s corner to avoid the disqualification. Garland hooks the leg for the pinfall.
1!
2!
KICKOUT!
Garland looks up holding up 3 fingers as the ref only holds 2 back as he looks a bit bewildered that he kicked out. Garland quickly goes to hook both legs as he goes for another cover
1!
2!
TH/KICKOUT!
Garland goes for one last cover this time with a fistful of tights as the referee counts.
1!
2!
THR/KICKOUT!
Robertson: Garlicbread couldn’t buy a pin right now to save his life! It’s rare we see GarlicBread going to the top rope and combining that with one of those trademark suplexes from Williams would’ve been enough to put most people away.
Smith: Never Say Die isn’t just a moniker for Scotty Addams; it’s a way of life. He doesn’t know when to quit, he doesn’t know when to stay down – none of the Jokers Wild know when to throw in the towel. That’s what makes them so dangerous, you exhaust yourself trying to put them away, you resort to pulling out maneuvers rarely seen and they still find a way to hold on. Call it rope-a-dope, call it what you will but Jokers Wild always have a knack for coming through in the clutch.
Robertson: Normally I’d be inclined to disagree with you Smith but I know better than to bet against Mr. Stevenson. As ridiculous of a name as Garlicbread is he’s a very dangerous man but he’s rather mentally… imbalanced to say the least and Williams is fighting a war within himself. If they’re not careful they’re going to blow their lead in a hurry, you don’t give a team like Jokers Wild that kind of opening.
Garland hits the mat repeatedly several times with his fist as he gets in the referee’s face, nearly yelling at the top of his lungs in a fit of rage.
Robert Garland: THAT WAS THREE! ARE YOU TRYING TO SCREW ME TOO? I BET STEVENSON HAS YOU IN HIS BACK POCKET! LEARN HOW TO COUNT!
Travis Rech: Garland keep your ‘ead focused an’ finish em!
Robert Garland: SHUT UP!
Just as it looks like Garland is about to lose it Williams extends his hand as the two exchange words in their corner. After seemingly talking Garland down from his boiling point he tags him in and goes back to the corner. Williams scouts his wounded opponent as Scotty crawls to the ropes and manages to pull himself up as Williams smells blood in the water. Williams grabs ahold of Scotty as he turns around as he begins to execute the Boiling Point (Emerald Flosion). Frank Washington looks on anxiously as his left arm hangs over the top rope in his corner, itching to get into the ring.
Smith: This could be it; if Williams connects there may be no kicking out of this one!
Robertson: It’s do or die time, Garlicbread and Williams needs this to connect before the floodgates can open.
Scotty manages to float over and land on his feet like a cat, using the opening to counter with History in the Making (backdrop to facebuster)! Drew and Frank look relieved as Garland looks on wide eyed and Travis Rech looks as pale as a ghost at the reversal. Frank begins stomping his foot on the apron as he starts slamming his hand on the turnbuckle repeatedly as the fans join in with a chorus of stomping and clapping as Scotty crawls over towards his corner, inch by inch. Frank manages to put both feet on the middle rope as he extends his arm as far as he can as Williams is still shaking off cobwebs on the mat.
Smith: The Boiling Point may very well become the turning point if Scotty Addams can make the tag to his partner.
Robertson: Garlicbread gave Scotty a second too many to recover and their momentum is about to go as cold as this bread!
Williams finally starts coming to as he starts looking around the ring to regain his barrings. Garland yells rather harshly at him as he extends his arm for the tag. Williams manages to turn around and begins crawling towards his partner as Scotty is nearly back to his own corner now. In the race against time Scotty is able to make the tag first as Frank dashes into the ring as the crowd goes nuts.
Crowd: YEAAAAAAAAAAH!
Williams extends his arm to make the tag but before he can connect Washington leaps over him and hits a flying forearm smash into the face of his mortal enemy which knocks him off the apron and onto the floor.
Smith: Williams is in trouble now, he couldn’t make the tag!
Robertson: You ever hear the expression don’t play with your food? Sometimes that lobster isn’t as cooked as you think and it’ll squeeze you like a vicegrip, Williams and Garlicbread are about to find that out firsthand!
Williams tries to get up in a hurry but quickly crashes back down as Frank had him scouted and connects with the Fall From Grace (springboard kick) . Garland darts back in the ring looking for a Global Lariat but Frank ducks and hits him with a release german suplex! Even Travis Rech tries to get involved as he jumps on the apron but Frank hits him with a an enziguri sending him crashing back down to the floor on the outside!. Garland rolls out to regroup as Williams is now back on his feet and tries catch him by surprise with a german suplex of his own and manages to connect. Williams tries to stay on the attack as he goes to pick Frank off the ground however he gets trapped in a cradle pin instead,
1!
2!
THRE/KICKOUT!
Smith: Williams managed to halt his momentum momentarily but the table quickly turned back again.
Robertson: Williams could’ve had that scouted if he was wrestling with a clear head; he has too much Garlicbread in his system right now. He’s certainly not out of the woods though; he had to exert precious energy to pull off that suplex, energy he doesn’t have a whole lot of right now. Frank Washington is still relatively fresh.
Smith: Absolutely, that could change if Williams could make the tag but with Garland on the outside that looks like a pipedream currently.
Williams looks incredibly frustrated at that pin attempt as he manages to get up off the mat. By now his tag team partner came back into view, sliding into the ring bringing the Pure 15 Trophy with him, motioning for Williams to lift Frank Washington up to finish the job. Meanwhile Drew Stevenson immediately hops up on the ring apron to protest, trying to draw the referee’s attention to the foreign object but instead tries to stop him from enterting the ring himself.
Robertson: Will Garlicbread has obviously had enough. If you can’t beat them fairly you throw the rule book out the window. He should throw the spaghetti out the window while he’s at it if it’s anything like the garlicbread served to the MSW audience.
Smith: Of course he tries to take the easy way out again! For a man who claims to fight for justice he sure doesn’t mind ignoring every single “law” of the ring.
Robertson: I can respect that Smith, it shows how badly he wants to win and sometimes you have to go to the darkest corners to get it done.
Smith: Who’s side are you on anyway? You’ve been insulting the man the entire match but now you’re applauding a blatant abuse of the rules?
Robertson: Just because the guy has a ridiculous name doesn’t mean he’s just some random Goober, Garlicbread is a very formidable opponent.
Williams won’t have any of it as he tries to take the trophy away from Garland as the two have a mini tug-of-war over it. Garland can be seen arguing with Williams who insists on not wining this way. Finally Garland’s grip slips and Williams’ momentum takes him backwards, hitting Drew Stevenson head on with the trophy !
Smith: He just hit the boss!
Robertson: Big mistake Chris. You might as well have just signed your own death warrant.
Garland begins laughing and applauding as Williams quickly drops the trophy in horror. He tries to plead his innocence, claiming he had no intentions to use it as a weapon or hit Drew but before the two could react any further Scotty Addams dashes into the ring and hits Garland with a clothesline, sending him over the top rope and to the outside. Meanwhile Williams briefly turns his attention Scotty before getting rolled up in a pin by Frank. The referee spins around to count the cover.
1!
2!
3!
Barbara Braman: Here are your winners, The Jokers Wild!
Smith: A huge victory here by The Jokers Wild, a victory that certainly can’t sit well with Robert Garland.
Robertson: Sometimes all it takes is a miscalculation. I hope Mr. Stevenson is ok.
Scotty and Frank roll out of the ring to check on Drew as Garland and Rech slowly make their way to the back.
