Unstoppable #4: Let the Games Begin (PT II)

Robert Fields: Ladies and Gentlemen that was Johnny B., back to you on commentary!

We then cut back to ringside with Bradford and Smith as Wiley and Compact are already in the ring

Bradford: That guy is nuts! How did he even make it past talent relations? Drew you’re slacking!

Smith laughs next to his broadcast partner.

Smith: He certainly is a wildcard but what matters is what he can do in between those ropes in the middle of that ring. Speaking of in ring action we’re back with our second match of the night as Davis Wiley and Chris Compact are already in the ring.

Bradford: Compact is Napoleon Incarnate if you ask me. A small guy with a big attitude, small and in charge.

Smith: Normally Mr. Kamara is at ringside with Chris Compact but having a match of his own later in the night he’s in the back preparing. Without that looming threat at ringside we should have a fair contest.

Bradford: Fair? Look at how big Davis Wiley is! If size alone was the deciding factor this match wouldn’t be “fair” at all. Mr. Kamara kept the big bullies in check so Chris Compact could just focus on the task at hand.

Smith: Good grief Bradford you remind me of my old broadcast partner at times with your slanted view of reality.

Bradford: Somebody has to keep this fair and balanced and it’s certainly not Fox News or you.

The bell rings as both men square off. Compact dares Wiley to lock up with him in a test of strength shouting and screaming at his face as Wiley smiles a little almost if he isn’t sure he’s serious. Finally Wiley agrees and engages in a test of strength. Compact starts to get a slight edge as he grins ear to ear before Wiley quickly turns the tables and applies more pressure than compact, using his size to his advantage before releasing his grip and hitting a belly to belly suplex. Compact writhes in pain as he quickly gets back up to his feet. Compact tries to throw a flurry of kicks as Davis Wiley who guards them at each turn, showing surprising quickness for a man his size. Compact tries to shoot a swift kick to the head of Wiley to catch him off guard but Wiley catches it! Wiley quickly spins him around and hits him with a European uppercut to the back of the head.

Smith: This match is going to be over in a hurry at this rate, Davis Wiley is fully in control!

Bradford: He’s bullying the poor guy Smith! He wouldn’t feel brave enough to do this if Mr. Kamara was around!

Smith: In this business one of the biggest mistakes you can make is biting off more than you can chew. There are plenty of talented guys big or small that have stepped into this ring but he thinks he’s already better than all of them without having to prove himself. So far it looks like he has a lot to learn.

Bradford: And you say I have a distorted view of reality…

Wiley plays to the crowd as Compact struggles to get back to his feet. Noticing that Compact is still dazed from the impact he quickly grabs him by the head as he lifts him up for The Witch Doctor’s Curse, slamming him straight into the turnbuckle as he then goes to pull him away from the ropes for the pin.



Barbara Braman: Here is your winner, Davis Wiley!

Bradford: A big victory by Davis Wiley, advancing to the tournament to crown the first champion!

Smith: And we've got big news folks! We've been talking about Best of the Best but the date is official! Right here in just six weeks on May 7th we will have a special live edition special of Unstoppable entitled Best of the Best! And Davis Wiley might just be one of the finalists in that championship match!

The aftermath of the last match is still being cleaned up, the ring being reset as the audience anticipates the next step in the tournament bracket. There is a small hush over the crowd, the partially quiet aura being shattered at the sound of the PA system blasting "Ephemeral" by Insomnium. The crowd bursts into a sea of boos, Travis Rech standing out on the entrance way as Robert Garland comes out of the backstage area with a sour look on his face. Garland looks out at the large number of people giving him their vocal opinions before shrugging it off and heading down to the ring, microphone in hand as Rech follows him down the ramp.

Smith: It looks like Robert "Badger" Garland is a man on a mission tonight. After what happened last Unstoppable between him and Washington, I think it's safe to say why he's carrying that microphone.

Bradford: Robert Garland was screwed over last week Smith! There's no doubt he's out here tonight to set the record straight and shine some light on that phony poster boy Frank Washington!

Garland reaches the ring, Rech stepping in between the ropes and holding them open as Badger climbs between them. The audience continues to give a negative reaction as Garland begins to pace around the ring, Rech calling for his music to cut. With his entrance theme fading out, Garland raises the microphone to his lips and addresses the onlookers.

Garland: Is this how you all want The MSW to be known?! A pack of filthy liars and con artists?!


Bradford: Yeah, you tell them Garland! This man has the future of The MSW as the first thing on his mind.

Smith: Yes, I'm sure Garland stays up late as night just wondering how he can make the world a better place.

After the crowd dies down a bit, Garland continues to speak while Rech encourages him on.



Garland: Last week, I was SCREWED out of my chance to qualify for a shot at the MSW World Championship! Screwed I tell you! And, by who exactly? Well, wouldn't you know it, it was exactly the man that I'm out here tryin' to warn you all about every chance I can!

Crowd: Wash-ing-ton! Wash-ing-ton! Wash-ing-ton! Wash-ing-ton!

Garland: Yeah... That's right... Frank Washington... The man who has made it his agenda over these past few years to stick his nose into my business and make my life a livin' hell in any way he can. Does that man's name ring a bell to you all? Does that man sound like someone you want your children to cheer for and buy merchandise of? Does that man sound to you like a hometown hero who has your best interest in mind!? WAKE UP PEOPLE!  I know you watched the tapes, I know you've all seen Washington's career before arrivin' in MSW! He's a coward, a traitor, and a turncoat! And right now he has all of you in the palm of his hand while he's bidin' his time to turn on each and every one of you! YOU'RE ALL SHEEP IN HIS FLOCK OF LIES! AND YOU'RE ALL TOO STUPID TO REALIZE IT!


Rech begins to clap in Garland's direction and nod in approval, almost as if this speech was some sort of therapy for Garland's anger. The crowd continues to disapprove as Garland continues on, not waiting for their jeering to settle down.

Garland: That's right... It's all going accordin' to plan. In fact, now that I'm here, it's just that much easier for him to hide his cowardice act! Now that I'm here, he can just point to me as the real villain and continue to pull the wool over all of your eyes. He's a dangerous mastermind who's only ambition is screwin' over anyone and everyone on his way to the top! That, MSW, is the only reason Rech took it upon himself to interfere in his match last week. Rech thought to stop Frank's master plan before it gets any further! We need this monster to be caged, not out here in society makin' a mockery out of all the things that you all hold dear. Surely you must see the light. Surely you all agree with me?!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GAR-LAND SUCKS! GAR-LAND SUCKS! GAR-LAND SUCKS!

Garland: Well who asked you anyway?! I'll just have to -

Garland's speech is cut short, a thunderous cheer drowning him out as "Re-Education (Through Labor)" by Rise Against plays over the arena. Garland looks like he's about to throw a fit at being interrupted as Frank Washington steps out of the backstage area and stands on the stage.

Frank Washington: You wanted my attention Badger?! You know it'd be one thing if you came here to compete, if you came here to put on a show for these people who paid their hard money to see wrestling in that very ring but for a personal vendetta?

Frank shakes his head in frustration.

Frank Washington: Listen I can't go and take back what happened all those years ago, I can't right the wrongs that were committed back then, but MSW isn't the place to settle this.


Bradford: What? He stabs this man in the back and he won't even face him?

Smith: It's not as simple as that Bradford. There's a lot more history to this than either of us know, people change you know.

Frank Washington: But at the same time I'm not going to sit back while you try to ambush me in the middle of the ring and screw me over! You want to know the reason why I got involved last Unstoppable, you really want to know why? Because Bobo the Hobo or sorry, Travis Rech I almost forgot you got rich while Badger was in prison, decided to get involved in my business. I'm not stupid Badger, I know Rech has his marching orders and I know you have a vendetta that you're determined to accomplish, it wasn't just coincidence now was it?

Smith: He does have a point.

Bradford: Can you blame him? The man hasn't paid his debt to society!

Frank Washington: But that wasn't enough now was it? You decided that you had to project your anger onto Daniel Smart, a man who has nothing to do with the business between us! You don't care about the spirit of professional wrestling anymore, you're blinded by your blood lust! You speak with the conviction of a saint by judging me by the man I used to be and not the man I've become all the while you're ignorant of the man you've become!

Rech playfully shrugs his shoulders, as if letting Frank's comments fall on deaf ears. Garland notices this, and responds. 

Garland: You know, Frank... When you first came out here, I was too angry to think anythin' else but about this interruption... Then, I thought I might just hear you out... Maybe... Just this once. But now, all I see if you're still just spoutin' out the same loads of bullshit as always!

Frank looks slightly annoyed, but removes his shirt on the entrance way and starts to head down to the ring. Garland readies himself for a fight as the audience starts to cheer loudly!


Smith: Looks like it's finally about to go down!

Bradford: Put this phony out of our misery Garland!

Suddenly, as Frank closes in on the ring, the audience's chants shift from cheering to booing. As Frank notices this, he turns around to see a handful of security guards making their way towards him. Garland looks on as Rech warns him of a few more guards that just slid into the ring. With security in place, Garland and Frank are stopped in their tracks, security grabbing a hold of Garland as he tries to lunge towards Washington from inside the ring. Garland looks furious as security tries to force Frank backstage. Garland starts to swing wildly, security trying to hold him down as a few of the guards approach Rech.

Washington seems to have given up outside of the ring, the security guards taking it easy on him... Until he breaks away and runs into the ring! Rech starts to panic as Garland fights his way free as well, the two of them starting to trade blows in the center of the ring!

Bradford: Here we go!

Smith: The audience is in an uproar!

Right hand from Washington! Left from Garland! Right! Left! Right! Left! Washington throws Garland towards the ropes... Big shoulder block sending Washington to the ground on the rebound! Garland getting a running start... Missing the Senton Splash as Washington rolls out of the way! Security quickly gets back on the scene, the crowd starting to boo again.

After fighting to regain control, the security guards jump on Garland while he's on the ground. Washington being ejected from the ring and pulled backstage. Garland angrily yells out as he's held in the middle of the ring, Rech grabbing a microphone and directing himself towards Frank as Washington yells back.

Rech: Callin' security on us, eh? Real clever plan ta keep yerself safe! Make no mistake Washington. No matta that ya want this ta all jus' disappear, we're not goin' anywhere until you've repaid yer debt!

Frank Washington: You want this?! You want this Badger? You want a war? You got it! You'll get your wish you son of a bitch! I'm not your damn punching bag!

The cameras cut away as the show fades to a commercial break, Frank finally backstage as extra guards are called in to help get Garland out of the ring.

Barbara Brahman: We've had a great show so far, and more people have advanced into the championship tournament but right now I'm standing by with one of our newest Women of Tradition, Marie Porter.

Marie Porter: Haha hey Barbie, how's it going?!

Barbara Brahman: It's going pretty good, Marie. Now, last week in your tag team match we didn't get much of a chance to see in action two weeks ago, but Danny Stevenson has given you another chance to show what you've got as you take on Autumn Raven and ring veteran Kim Pain later on tonight. What are your thoughts?


Marie Porter: Oh those girls! Haha, I'm not worried about it. See... I get it. I get that they're trying to scare me and I get that they're trying to make it seem like you have to be some biiig rough and tough gal around here to get your point across but I'm not having it, Barbie.

Barbara Brahman: So now this week you've got your second chance, how do you plan to tackle this big match ahead of you?

Marie Porter: These girls are just like the angry Kitty and Shawna. They're so mad at everything and at the world, so full of anger and hate that they feel they need to take it out on somebody that's happy. (With some sarcasm) thaats meee. Ha but this week there's no tags. They can't keep me out of the ring and they can't just pick my partner and beat the daylights out of her to send some kind of a message. The only message these girls are giving me is that they need a snickers.

Barbara Barhman: Kim Pain and Autumn Raven have both been around for a little while and have their share of successs. Being new to the busines does this impact your strategy at all?

Marie Porter: Being new has nothing to do with it, Barbie. They're about to get... The Experience!

Marie uses her body with her words with a big smile and a laughter, dancing her way off screen.

Barbara Brahman: Thanks Marie. Well there you have it folks, in just a little bit the Women of Tradition are going to square off. Back to you at ringside.
