Unstoppable #12 (Back to Basics Pre-Show)

MSW comes back from commercial break to a dark screen.

What is heard is a single heartbeat.

Right after, a short video of Tyson Pride and Frankie Cocheese on a street plays in slo-mo. It appears that they're in the middle of the street at night, the orange glow of the street lights above shining down on them. Frankie flashes a giant wad of $100 bills and begins to fan them out.

The image goes black once again.

Another heartbeat.

Tyson Pride now appears in what looks like a recording studio booth lit up by a darklight. A poster in the background advertising GTA V can be seen behind him. Tyson appears to be freestyling in the booth with Frankie behind him, grinning.

Once again it disappears, and a heartbeat is heard.

The camera is focused on the two, as if the cameraman had been put on his back. The two stand over the camera with bandanas concealing their faces, in what appears to be broad daylight.

It disappears once more, and the heartbeats start to get faster, showing more footage in rapid succession of the two at various landmarks and hoods in both Chicago and DC; The Sears Tower in Chicago, Humboldt Park and Logan Square in Chicago, The Verizon Center and The Big Chair in Washington DC, Good Hope Road in Washington DC.

The beating stops, and the screen goes dark once more.

One more beat is heard, and the video shows 3 black males, dressed in black hoodies with the hoods pulled up over their heads. Two of them have shades over their eyes, and the one in the middle, whose dreads are visible from his hood, has a bandana of the lower half of a skull concealing his face. Frankie and Tyson lean their heads in from the sides of the screen as the camera pans down to reveal the dreadlocked man lifting up his hoodie. He shows off a Glock 19 tucked in his waistband. Frankie and Tyson both point to it, and Frankie appears to be saying something into the camera while making a gun motion with the thumb, fore and middle fingers of his right hand before the screen goes dark.

3 gunshots are heard, and then a pause.

A 4th gunshot rings out as the Notorious Thugs teaser logo appears.




All three ladies are in the ring as the referee calls for the match to start they circle the ring trying to find an opening before Lucy steps forward and locks up with Ciara in the center of the ring quickly pushing her into the corner. And as the referee calls to get out of the corner Danni grabs Lucy by the arm and sends her across the ring to the other corner taking off towards Ciara with a sprint she goes for a lariat in the corner but Ciara ducks it.

Smith : Quick reflex from Ciara Rose and Oh Lucy comes in wildly with a splash on the dazed Danni.

Bradford : It is the battle of the good girls of MSW.

Smith : Ciara grabs the hair of Lucy and drags her down to the mat.

As Ciara goes for an elbowdrop Lucy rolls out of the way leaving Ciara stunned for a moment clutching her arm. Danni is climbing the corner looking to hit the "Slam Dunk" on Ciara but Lucy caught her before she could jump and sends her down crashing onto Ciara.

Smith : Lucy should go for the cover here 1.. 2.. oh Danni kicked out.

Bradford : She should have gone for Ciara there.

Ciara scrambles to her feet and goes to hit Danni who grabs her arm and flings her to the ropes and as she bounced off them Danni goes for a clothesline but Ciara ducks it as she returns from the other set of ropes she goes for a cross body drop but Danni had the same idea.. They collide harshly and Danni rolls out of the ring holding her stomach while Lucy grabs a hold of Ciara near the ropes and gets ready to hit her move.

Smith : Are we going to see it here.

Bradford : No way.

Smith : The Highlight! That amazing 720 DDT we've heard so much about connects!!!

And sure enough, Lucy had Ciara Rose in a dze and made her way to the apron. She grabbed hold of the top rope and jumped up while turning in mid-air to have her back facing the ring. Lucy jumped backwards, turning in mid air for one turn catching Ciara by the head, and with another half turn, dropping her and with that devastating variation of the DDT, the 720 completing after impact. Lucy scrambles to get the pin and hooks both legs of Ciara as the referee starts the count.


Barbara: Here is your winner... LUUCCYYY WYYYLLDEEE!

The tag team match made in hell as the opponents could not be more different then the two teams in the ring the crowd boo's for the team of the ladies men Justin Famous and veteran Pornstar Ron. Ron starts the match and the crowd cheers for every punch landed by the brawler Keg. His partner MacNeill is working the crowd to get them behind Keg and it is working except for the single ladies who are solidly behind Ron..

Smith : Keg whips Ron into the corner and follows him with shoulder block to the gut.

Bradford : Don't bruise the merchandise!

Keg goes to hit another shoulder block but Ron ducks out of the way and Keg goes into the ring post shoulder first. Ron scrambles to his corner to tag in Justin Famous and rolls out of the ring. As Justin goes after Keg he just manages to tag in MacNeill who comes in hot of the tag. As they start trading blows Ron spots a hot blonde sitting in the crowd in attendance and makes his way over to her not watching where he is going he hits the steel steps and goes to the floor clutching his foot in agony.

Smith : What has he done now?

Bradford : Doc!!! We need the doctor.. Ron is hurt!

Smith : He kicked the steel steps he will be fine!

Bradford : Doctor at ringside please! Hurry!

Meanwhile in the ring Justin has gotten the upperhand on the brawler MacNeill and the crowd is booing fanatically.. While the single ladies check if their tops are straight and showing their best assests properly.. MacNeill comes bouncing from the ropes aiming to hit a running lariat but Justin ducks and twists it into the "Five seconds of Fame"

Smith : That should be it! He hit it!

Bradford : Ron! Is he okay!? Ron!!!

Justin scrambles into the pin and hooks the leg laying back cockily.. The ref starts the count..


Barbara: Your winner by pinfall the team of Pornstar Ron and Justin Famous!!

Justin Famous celebrates his win while Ron is being checked on and we cut backstage.


The scene opens in the backstage area of the MSW arena. The crowd is full of excitement due to the upcoming super card that is Back to Basics. However, backstage there is one man who is left dreading this upcoming event. Currently, sitting alone in the catering area, is Frank Washington. Washington is looking stressed out, his upcoming tag team title match just around the corner. Washington continues to pace, seemingly a lot on his mind as his current "partner", and always rival, Robert Garland steps onto the scene.

Washington sneers in the direction of his rival as he stops in his tracks.

Frank Washington: Let me guess you're here to "play nice" for the tag title match right? Why are you even wasting our time, you and I both know you're in this for yourself, it's just going to end up being another glorified handicap match.

Garland looks at his rival with a smile on his face, Travis Rech showing up by Garland's side as Washington stands his ground.

Garland: Listen, punk... I don't know what you're doing, thinking all these negative thoughts about your partner, but you of all people should know how trustworthy I can be... Especially when you have made a reputation of taking advantage of that trustworthy nature and stabbing me in the back, countless times! 

Frank Washington is about to curse Garland out, Robert Garland noticing and quickly continuing to speak.

Garland: All that aside, I think you'll find that tonight is about a lot more than just me and you. I mean, I know you're one of the most selfish men on the planet... But there is more to this world than just Garland vs. Washington. You see... I want those tag team championship, and I want them bad. Does that mean that I'm excited about you being my co-champion? Of course not! I'd rather see you dead than happy, you know... Regardless, I gave my word that I would work with you out there tonight and I always stand by my words... Tell him, Rech.

Travis Rech: At's right, Flappy Bird! Erryone' 'round 'ere already knows that mah client, Robert Garland, is nothin' greater than tha embodiment of tha virtues o' truth, honor, an' justice! An' as much as tha two of us hate yer erry last breath in this 'ere wrestlin' business that we've been makin' our livin' off of. When Garland says his word is golden, 'e means his word is as clean as ah bathroom at ah gas station! Wait... Maybe that didn't come out right...

Frank Washington: You ever seen a gas station bathroom? They're filfthy! For the first time in MSW you've actually said something truthful Bobo. Listen I don't trust a damn thing either one of you says but if you really want those belts as much as you claim then you'll stay out of my way, show me that your word is actually worth a damn with your actions. But if you stab me in the back, if you sabotage me in the middle of that ring all you'll do is continue to paint yourself as the hypocrite you are... Turncoat.

Garland seems angered, but laughs to himself. Frank seems ready to fight, Garland saying one final line...

Garland: Believe me Washington, when we go out there tonight, we'll be as good of a tag team as those two over there.

With Garland's last words, the camera pans over to show a giant figure in a yellow bodysuit, the lights start to dim as the figure is shown benching 400lbs. By his side is another figure, this one wearing all green as the lights final go off and the two are covered in a blue spotlight. The yellow figure continues to lift, the green figure turning towards the camera as a third, blue figure, steps into view. As the other two remain emotionless, the blue figure speaks into the camera.
