The Aftermath of No Exit

[Deka Zukito]

Vital Signs – Christmas Special
23rd December 2008

Introduction

The opening fireworks erupts over the stage as the crowd cheers wildly and the Vital Signs theme song blares through the sold out arena.

Freddy Jones: Hello and welcome to HIW Vital Signs and I hope you’re feeling festive because this is our Christmas special!

Jonathon Dyer: Well Freddy, I’m definitely cheering up in the mood of Christmas, you’ve only hit a seven on the annoying factor this time!

Freddy Jones: Well thanks for that Jon, I hate to think of what score I get when it’s not a special occasion. Anyway, we have a hell of a card lined up for you with Johnny Stylez defending against four different people. Can the Elite Champion hold on or will the mass man challenge be too much?

The screen fades to an advert for the latest selection of HIW action figures.

Jack Purcell vs. Nathan Nitrus

The screen fades in as Nathan Nitrus’ music fades out as he is checked for weapons by the referee.

Freddy Jones: Nathan Nitrus had a sorry showing at No Exit when he was eliminated early from the Mystery Title battle royal!

Michelle Smith: And the opponent, from London, England, Jack Purcell!

The short instrumental introduction of Stupid MF by Mindless Self Indulgence blares through the PA system as the lights dim greatly and the stage fills with white smoke, a spotlight shines down on the stage as the two drum hits blare out the speakers and an explosion of pyro hits on the stage. Jack Purcell jumps out to the stage at this moment as the stage lighting flickers through several different colours. The fast lyrical part of the song is underway and Jack Purcell is still working the crowd on the stage by jumping up and down while extending his hands in a taunt achieving a mixed reaction of cheers and boos from the crowd. The lyrics of the song slows down now and Jack Purcell starts to strut his way to the ring before throwing off his ring jacket and climbing into the ring. He then taunts in the middle of the ring as the music speeds up again, the strobe lighting finally stops as the usual arena lighting returns, the song fades out as Jack Purcell waits for the match to begin.

Freddy Jones: Jack Purcell is still yet to lose in HIW, will Nathan Nitrus be the first man to get a victory over him?

The two men lock up and immediately Jack Purcell slips into a side headlock before Nitrus forces him into the corner. The crowd applauds as the two men break. Nathan Nitrus then cockily taunts Purcell as he runs at him and nails him with a clothesline. The crowd cheers as Purcell then brings Nitrus up before flipping him over with a hiptoss and going to the top rope and coming plunging down with a double foot stomp. He taunts as the crowd cheers even louder, a smile cracks across his face.

Jonathon Dyer: Well Jack Purcell wasting time here.

Freddy Jones: He’s still in complete control Jon!

Purcell quickly brings Nitrus to his feet and nails him with a t-bone suplex as the crowd cheers loudly for him. He then balances himself before hitting a standing star press before going for the pin.

Kickout!

Jack Purcell slaps the mat in annoyance as he drags Nitrus to his feet who quickly pushes Purcell back and takes him down with a clothesline. He then drags Jack Purcell to his feet but is caught out of nowhere with a massive forearm to the temple. Purcell then grabs the head of Nathan Nitrus and connects with “The Highlight Reel” and covers.

An Announcement From Luke Knight

The screen fades into Luke Knight sitting in a chair backstage at HIW HQ. The crowd cheers as he appears on the tron. He is wearing a neck brace following his injuries from No Exit at the hands of the ladder match as well as the after match assault by Dragon Demonico.

Luke Knight: Now, following my ladder match at No Exit where despite all my efforts, I lost, I’ve been in hospital.

He takes a deep breath before continuing.

Luke Knight: And if it wasn’t for my strength of heart and toughness, I’d still be in hospital but the fact of the matter is. I’m hurt and I can’t keep doing this. As much as I love this industry, I can’t cut it in HIW right now, I’m too beaten up and too broken down. I’ve got a fractured vertebra in my neck and two broken ribs. These injuries don’t nurse kindly. I physically can’t keep at it now, I have to stop while I can still walk without the aids of crutches. I’m afraid to say, this is the last you’ll see of me at HIW as a wrestler. It’s been an honor but I must stop, before the consequences are too great.

The screen fades out to the crowd booing at the announcement of Luke Knight’s retirement.

Morgan Jones vs. Dragon Demonico

“Indestructible" hits the P.A system as the fans begin to shoot and boo at the wrestler that is about to come out. Once the music starts to blare Dragon Demonico comes out from backstage followed closely by Jason Brooks, he freezes at the middle of the stage so he can taunt the crowd as they boo him.He starts to make his way down the ramp while taunting and yelling at the crowd.Once he reaches the ring he uses the steps to get in the ring, he stops in the middle of the ring and does his signature taunt "Satin Salute" where he brings his hands together and swings them apart, when that happens the lights turn red and pyro shoots out at the stage. He jumps on the turnbuckle and yells at the crowd before jumping off and waiting for the bell.

Michelle Smith: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring first from Ontario, Canada, Dragon Demonico!

Jonathon Dyer: This guy is smart and it looks like we also have a guest on commentary!

Jason Brooks:  That’s right, I’m here to announce for the greatest superstar in HIW, Dragon Demonico.

''Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" hits the PA, Morgan Jones steps out from behind the curtain. he is carrying a welsh flag  on a pole in one hand. He stands at the top of the ramp and waves the flag around a few times shouting 'Cymru am Byth!'. He stops and makes his way down the ramp, high-fiving the fans. He drops the flag into the steps and runs up them and enters the ring through the ropes. Morgan then punches the top turnbuckle pad a few times before turning round and throwing both arms up in the air as the crowd cheer. He then puts his hands on his knees and waits for his opponent.

Michelle Smith: And the opponent from Llanelli, Wales, Morgan Jones!

Freddy Jones: The Welsh Warrior was stripped of the Mystery Title at No Exit, he must be in a bad mood.

Jason Brooks: Well he’s picked the wrong guy to take it out on in Dragon Demonico.

The bell is rung and the two men quickly lock up with a collar and elbow tie up. The crowd cheers wildly as Morgan Jones twists into a wrist lock as Demonico screams in pain as Jones wrenches on the wrist. Demonico then flips out to his feet and twists into a wrist lock of his own, the crowd boos as Demonico smiles in a twisted manor. Morgan Jones quickly rolls across the mat still in the lock and uses the leverage created to break out and flip Demonico over with an arm drag. The crowd cheers as Demonico looks stunned by the agile counter made by Morgan Jones.

Freddy Jones: Quick and agile counter there by Jones!

Jason Brooks: He’s got no clue what he’s doing, you just wait!

Morgan Jones quickly locks in a side headlock only to be forced into the corner for a quick and clean break. The two men enter the middle of the ring again and lock up for a second time with Demonico locking in a side headlock this time. The crowd boos as Demonico wrenches at the neck of Morgan Jones before being pushed against the ropes and running back into a hard shoulder block take down. Morgan Jones quickly runs the ropes and hits Demonico hard with a clothesline knocking him off his feet before running and connecting well with an arm drag. The crowd cheers as Demonico gets out of the ring.

Freddy Jones: Looks to me like he’s having trouble.

Jonathon Dyer: Its early days Freddy.

Jason Brooks: Exactly, quit the crap Jones and call the action how it should be, Demonico is the greatest in HIW and there’s no other way of putting it.

Demonico slides back into the ring and as is immediately struck with a hard forearm blow before Jones quickly goes for “Lawr a Maes” but Demonico slips out to his feet and rakes the eyes of Jones before taking him down with a clothesline, the crowd boos as he locks in a sleeper hold to the downed Morgan Jones

Jason Brooks: Stuff like that is why Demonico is the best in HIW!

Freddy Jones: Cheating?

Jonathon Dyer: Shut up Freddy, just let me and Jason call this if you’re going to try and be smart about this all!

Morgan Jones struggles up to his feet slowly trying to get the sold out crowd behind him but is continuously kept down by Demonico’s sleeper, he shows no signs of fading as he finally gets to his feet but Demonico quickly spins round into a side headlock before flipping Morgan Jones and applying a body scissors on Morgan Jones to keep him immobilized. Morgan Jones slowly staggers up to his feet and pushes Demonico into the corner before stepping back and running towards the corner only for Demonico to flexibly drive his foot into the jaw of Jones and follow up with a running dropkick. Demonico then goes straight back to the sleeper hold.

Jason Brooks: There we go, more veteran work from Dragon Demonico!

Demonico keeps Morgan Jones grounded with the sleeper hold as he tries to get to the ropes for a break but Demonico manages to apply a body scissors to keep him from moving again. Morgan Jones wriggles around in an attempt to break out but gets nowhere, Demonico smiles as he leans back and raises his legs to use them for the sleeper, he then twists them hard forcing the air out of Morgan Jones. He pulls down on the ropes for leverage but the referee notices and forces him to break the hold.

Jason Brooks: Come on referee! Open your eyes!

Jonathon Dyer: Totally agree, they shouldn’t just get involved like that!

Freddy Jones: They should when a guy is cheating.

Demonico breaks the hold and kicks Morgan Jones hard in the back before shouting at the referee. He then drags Jones to his feet and hits him with a neckbreaker before going up to the top rope looking for “Demons Unleashed”. He flips off but Morgan Jones rolls out of the way, Demonico has enough time to land on his feet as Morgan Jones gets up and quickly lands a bulldog on Dragon Demonico before dragging him up and hitting him with a clothesline. He then taunts to the cheering crowd before lifting Demonico up who hits another eye rake and spins Jones around before nailing him with a massive bridging German suplex.

Demonico looks completely shocked as he grabs Morgan Jones and whips him into the corner before following up with a hard forearm before hitting a tornado DDT. He then follows up with a standing moonsault looking for another pinfall.

Demonico slaps the mat in anger as he drags Morgan Jones to his feet. Out of nowhere Jones hits a double knee gutbuster and the crowd erupts.

Jason Brooks: What! He can’t do that!

Freddy Jones: Looks to me like he just did! Morgan Jones is coming back stronger than ever!

Morgan Jones quickly runs and hits a clothesline before waiting for Demonico to get up and hitting a running dropkick. He then drags Demonico to his feet and hits a fisherman neckbreaker. The crowd erupts as Morgan Jones quickly goes for the cover.

Morgan Jones looks annoyed as he quickly drags Demonico up again and nails a Tiger Suplex beautifully bridging into a pin.

They then begin to hit each other back and forth with hard forearms and punches before Demonico pushes Morgan Jones back against the ropes, Jones rebounds with a shining wizard but Demonico ducks and the referee is struck knocking him clean out.

Freddy Jones: Oh no! The referee is down!

Jonathon Dyer: You say that like it’s a bad thing!

Demonico turns around and quickly nails a forearm to the face of Morgan Jones before going for a DDT only to be countered by Morgan Jones who looks for STO but Demonico falls to his knees and hits a low blow before following up with a jawbreaker.  The crowd boos as Demonico goes up to the top rope.

Jason Brooks: Here we go! The end is now near!

Demonico comes flying down with “Demons Unleashed” only for Jones to roll out of the way. Demonico crashes and burns to the mat below as the crowd cheers wildly as Morgan Jones quickly takes the opportunity to connect with “Lawr a Maes”. He covers but the referee is down.

Freddy Jones: Come on referee!

Jason Brooks: Excuse me please.

Freddy Jones: No, what the hell are you doing Brooks!

Brooks throws down his headset and quickly grabs a steel chair before sliding into the ring as Morgan Jones is still covering Demonico. He swings the chair down and smashes it into the back Jones. The crowd boos as Jason Brooks helps Demonico up to the top rope to hit “Demons Unleashed” on the third attempt. The referee slowly gets round as Brooks slides out of the ring with the chair and Demonico covers a slow count begins.

“Indestructible” blares over the PA system as Dragon Demonico is helped up by Jason Brooks who raises his hand.

Freddy Jones: Damn it!

Matt Marvell Speaks To The Fans

The screen fades into Matt Marvell sitting backstage as he looks up to the camera and starts to talk.

Matt Marvell: You may realize that there is something missing here. The title which was taken from me at No Exit.

He looks down with a look of disappointment before looking back up to the camera again.

Matt Marvell: All I have to say is, tonight in the multi man match for the HIW Elite Championship, I will recapture my title and it will be simply marvelous.

At this point Scorpio walks through to the locker room and looks at Matt Marvell.

Scorpio: Simply marvelous? Keep thinking that; you see the multi man match was meant to be for the new guys here in HIW like McKenzie Addison and Kirby Pollard but somehow you waltzed into it with your rematch clause and we had no chance but to let you in. But it’s not like it will make a difference, why would you have any more chance than you did at No Exit?

Scorpio grins cheekily as he leaves the locker room and the screen fades.

Bobby Azula vs. Crimson Mask

“Yours” hits the arena as Bobby Azula comes out to the stage. He taunts with both titles on his shoulders as the crowd’s cheering gets louder and louder suddenly the music stops and Dragon Demonico runs out from the back hitting Azula in the back of the head with a steel chair. He grins smugly as he looks over Bobby Azula.

Dragon Demonico: Seems to me like your not going to be able to compete tonight Bobby! Just like Luke Knight won’t be competing again!

Freddy Jones: Oh come on! This is wrong!

Dragon Demonico smiles as he the crowd’s booing gets louder in volume by the second.

Dragon Demonico: You see, I’ve been boosting the ratings of this show for weeks now and I haven’t been getting the chances that I truly deserved. So I think that its about time that I made sure that I get my chance that I deserve more than you, more than Luke Knight and more than Matt Marvell!

Booing echoes through the arena as Dragon Demonico stomps on Bobby Azula to keep him on the floor.

Dragon Demonico: And if I don’t get my shoot then attacks like this will keep on happening until I do. So I hope that gives the management the message that they need to be given!

The crowds booing continues as Deka Zukito walks out to the stage and looks at Demonico who is still standing over Bobby Azula.

Deka Zukito: Okay Demonico, I see your point but attacking people like that isn’t going to make me feel inclined to give you a shot. You need to remember who is in power.

Demonico steps away from Azula and goes up to Deka Zukito looking him in the eye.

Dragon Demonico: What are you going to do about it? Fight me?

Deka Zukito: Well I won’t fight you but I definitely have the power to fire you if needs be so I suggest you step away.

Dragon Demonico steps away from Deka Zukito as Deka grins fully aware of the power he has.

Deka Zukito: But if you’re so desperate for a fight I have just the person for you. Because I just completed the paper work for the newest signing to HIW, Alex Jones!

Jonathon Dyer: Oh my god! That’s Dragon Demonico’s brother!

”End of Heartache” by Killswitch Engage blares through the PA system as Alex Jones comes out to the stage staring at his brother Dragon Demonico. He grins as Deka Zukito as Deka puts the microphone to his face.

Deka Zukito: And Dragon Demonico, if you can beat Alex Jones next week, it will be you against Bobby Azula at Enigma!

Freddy Jones: Wow! What a bombshell dropped by Deka Zukito! Dragon Demonico’s brother arrives in HIW and if Demonico can beat him next week he will get a shot at Azula’s belts!

HIW Elite Championship Match
Kirby Pollard vs. Kalie Wimberly vs. McKenzie Addison vs. Johnny Stylez vs. Matt Marvell

Michelle Smith: The following contest is for the HIW Elite Championship, introducing first from Toledo, Ohio, Kirby Pollard!

Kirby Pollard comes out as his music hits. He stops at the top of the ramp and double stomps his feet, while red pyro flares up in front of him. He walks out from behind the pyro, making his way to the ring, greeting fans on the way. He gets in the ring and stomps his feet while shaking the ropes and moving his head wildly. He then goes to the corner, awaiting the start of the match.

Michelle Smith: And from Los Angeles, California, Kalie Wimberly!

Jonathon Dyer: Here’s that tomboy again.

Get the Party Started hits the PA system as Kalie comes out on her skateboard. She then shreds down the ramp to the ring. She then stops it and sets it by the stairs. She gets on the apron and flips into the ring. She waits for the match to begin.

Michelle Smith: And also from Los Angeles, California, McKenzie Addison!

“My Last Breath Instrumental” hits as the lights go crazy, darker color lights wash over the ramp as McKenzie appears and makes his way down to the ring, about halfway down it switches into “Close Your Eyes”. He slides into the ring as he pops up and thrusts his arms into the air then walks to one corner. He gets up on the turnbuckle and points to all the fans and then hops off thrusting his arms up again as the fans cheer.

Michelle Smith: And introducing the final challenger from  Matt Marvell!

The crowd erupts into a frenzy of cheers.

Freddy Jones: Would you hear that reaction!

"Mr. Rainmaker" blasts on the PA system, the lights turn towards the stage and we see the egotistical Matt marvel approach the ring with his fancy leather jacket. He stops at the stage and raises his right hand up in the hair with his index finger pointing. he spins his arm around and the fans boo. He continues to strut down the ramp flexing his muscles at fans, taunting them, etc. He then comes to the apron and jumps up it, landing on his left knee. Marvel faces the crowd and points to his chest while smiling. Marvel then enters the ring and raises his hands in the air while he waits in the corner.

Michelle Smith: And introducing the champion from Miami, Florida, Johnny Stylez!

The words “Are You Ready?!” blare over the speakers as a loud drum and guitar sequence blast as Jedi Mind Tricks - All the lights Die plays. The lights shine a blue and white color and smoke starts to appear on the stage. Blue waterfall pyro falls from the entrance ramp as a platform rises from the ground. On the platform is Johnny Stylez, dressed in his blue and white spat Tights and a blue and his new trade mark tee-shirt a blue and white Superman 'S' on the chest with Sam right behind him with a matching tube top and a pretty short skirt. His mouth is covered by a white bandana as he holds his hands under his nose like he’s praying. Stylez eyes dart forward as he moves his hands to make a 'S' and Sam rubs his chest as the falling pyro turns white as he steps off the platform. The crowd gives him mixed reactions but he doesn’t seem fazed by it. He looks around slowly before making his way down the entrance ramp. Stylez reaches the bottom of the entrance ramp and looks around. Fans boo him and shout things at him but Johnny Stylez eyes glare at all of them. He makes his way to the steel steps and gets up them quickly and walks along the apron. He places his foot on the second rope and gets on the turnbuckle (think The Rock.) Stylez gets on the turnbuckle and Sam pulls his shirt over his head. He looks around and crosses his arms as the crowd boos at a fever pitch. He moves the bandana from around his mouth to his neck and his devilish smirk can be seen clearly. Stylez shifts his weight and sits atop the turnbuckle looks around. He throws the bandana at Sam as she wraps it around her neck. Stylez leans back a bit as he waits for the match to begin.

Freddy Jones: HIW Elite Championship on the line here in an elimination match!

Matt Marvell and Johnny Stylez stare off as the other three competitors back away slightly, the crowd begin to chant “rematch” as Johnny Stylez grins and quickly turns and smashes McKenzie Addison with a hard forearm before pointing at Matt Marvell and hitting Addison with “The End Result”.

Matt Marvell turns to Kalie Wimberly and whips her into the corner before Johnny Stylez follows up nailing her with a turnbuckle clothesline. The two men stare at each other as Marvel quickly grabs Kalie and nails her with a snap suplex. He looks at Stylez as if to say “top that”. Stylez quickly grabs Kalie Wimberly and hits a delayed vertical suplex to Wimberly. He grins as Wimberly grabs her back in agony.

Freddy Jones: This isn’t looking good for the only female competitor in HIW!

Marvell quickly grabs Kalie Wimberly and nails her with “Marvell Madness”. The crowd cheers as he steps back to the corner letting Stylez finish Kalie off with “The Round Lottery”. The Elite Champion covers Kalie in a cocky manor as Marvell looks on.

Stylez uses his other leg to deliver three strong kicks to the temple of Marvell forcing him to break the hold. The crowd cheers as the two men scramble up to their feet and stare down again. Stylez quickly runs at Marvell and nails him with a hard forearm, Marvell strikes back with a right hand sparking Stylez to hit Marvell with a left hand following up with another stiff forearm. Marvell then delivers another right hand knocking Stylez back into the ropes before taking a run up and sending him flying over the top rope.

Marvell slowly struggles up again as Johnny Stylez yells out attempting to apply as much pressure on the mid section of Marvell as possible but Marvell manages to finally battle out and run the ring ropes.

The crowd boos as Scorpio slides into the ring and stares at Marvell.

Freddy Jones: What is going on here?

Jonathon Dyer: Hopefully insult will be added to injury.

Freddy Jones: That’s just out of order Jon!

Scorpio drags Marvell up and nails him with the “Paparazzi Flash”! The crowd erupts into a frenzy of boos the screen slowly fades as both Johnny Stylez and Scorpio laugh pointing at each other approvingly.

Freddy Jones: What the hell is this! You’ll pay for this Scorpio! You’ll pay for this Johnny! You can’t just do that! You can’t just f**king do that!

Jonathon Dyer: Looks like he just did, he is the boss at the end of the day. My question is, are Johnny Stylez and Scorpio now a team or is this personal due to what happened between Marvell and Scorpio earlier this night?

Freddy Jones: I don’t know but all I do know is that this is all we have time for. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of High Impact Wrestling!
