4.29 - Return of the Damned

4.29 - Return of the Damned

The show began in a much more calm fashion than our last few shows, as AKAHIRA came out and challenged the new Spunk Pro International Champion AND Tag Team Champion, ZODIAK. ZODIAK made quick work of him, in just over 3 minutes, using the Demon Driver II to finish the job. After the match, the Celtic Bruisers came out and demanded they get their title match this week. ZODIAK laughed and told them that it was the ex-champions that promised them a title match, that they'd have to prove they deserved the belts first. Gabriel cries bullshit and charges at the ring, with Baker in tow, only for RUINER and DEMOS to pop up from behind and lay them out. ZODIAK then tells them that DEMOS and RUINER would be happy to face the former champions tonight, but he has already competed, and needs to be well-rested before defending the titles. The crowd is hot on this, booing loudly, but the Celtic Bruisers NEVER back down from a fight, and later on tonight we have ourselves a tag team match.

We now go backstage to where D is preparing for his match later tonight against former tag champion, Lee Stone. D gives us a grave update saying that Bobo's accumulated injuries from the Alabama Nightmare and their match last week was treated for multiple concussions and will be out for a while, this coming on the heels of the absolute beating YUSUKE took last week from Jack Dod, and the mauling Hobo Joe took from Dan Sommers, the Spunk Pro roster seems to be on the injured reserve lately. Back to the ring, where Spunk, the fallen hero stands alone, no title in sight, and a grim look on his face. "I let you all down," he starts, quietly. "I let myself down, I let this company down," he pauses and sighs. The fans are quiet as he collects himself, Shogo standing next to him patting him on the back, only for him to shrug Shogo off. "As far as I'm concerned, I've let the whole entire..."

"Seriously dude," another voice booms over the loudspeaker, "shut up! Whine whine whine, nobody cares!" Its Tommy Fiero, ringside now with the title around his waist, Jack Dod next to him. "You are all looking at the NEEEEEEEEEEEEEW..." He pauses, rubbing his wrist against the title belt and holding the faceplate in his hands, tilting it up towards his face, before pumping his fists out, "YEAH! WHOOOOOOOO! Spunk Pro..." He pauses again to a loud round of boos, he waits for it to die down, "Heavyweight.... CHAMPION," the word Champion delivered with a hiss.

"Fiero, Fiero fuck you, Fiero!" Spunk is livid now, leaning over the ropes with Shogo holding him back. "Tonight, Fiero. I want a rematch tonight Fiero. I want you out of here, I want that title back!" Fiero chuckles and rubs the belt again, staring down at it with a cocky smile. He approaches the ring, only to stop short, shake his finger and turn around to incite the crowd again.

"I'm not stupid! I beat you fair and square last week," Fiero laughs. "I.. I beat you, I destroyed you, I and I alone did the..." he pauses only to see a ruckus in the crowd, a fan flies over the guard rail, nose bleeding as Dan Sommers steps over the guard rail, elbowing another fan in the face, grabbing the mic out of Fiero's hand, leaving him stunned.

"You? YOU!?" He stares down at Fiero, then looks up Dod. "Fucker, I had him beaten. Without me, you woulda gotten your fuckin' face kicked in, an' I woulda gotten that pin after I cracked that fucker's skull an' sent him to la-la-land." Fiero starts snapping his fingers and demanding another mic. Dod laughs and pulls one out, Fiero looking confused as he takes it from him.

"Um, ok.. Uh, yeah." He pats Dan on the shoulder, only for Dan to glare at him. "Mr. Sommers, uh... You sure were in the, uh..." Fiero stutters, backing up a bit. "The uh, wrong place at the wrong time, because YOU..." He shakes off his fear, and gets in Dan's face. "You, my friend.. YEAH! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he yells right in Dan's face, only for Dan to turn his cheek away from him, looking like he is going to murder him. "You felt the Whammy Bar, dude. You don't deserve a shot at this title, none of you do!"

The lights go out, the fans get hushed, as a faint white X illuminates the ring. The fans start to rumble as another voice booms out. "I believe that you owe me something, Thomas." The fans explode as the house lights come back on to see Jesus X standing in the middle of the ring, much to everybody's surprise. Fiero is seen looking back at Dod and mouthing "what?" as Dod shrugs, pointing into the ring like he had seen a ghost. "Fiero, we had a deal. You got the money, I got the title and control of the company. But Thomas, none of that happened." He glares down at Fiero, who is livid now, shouting back at him that their deal was never like that. "You see," he speaks to the fans now. "We had a deal, that included me ensuring his victory for that title," he points at the title around Fiero's waist as Tommy guffaws, patting it and then patting his chest like he is some sort of warrior. "That as soon as he got that, got what he wanted, got to use it to promote his little movie, then I'd give him money from my ministries for him to buy this... promotion out, I'd be handed the title and creative control over it." The fans are booing loudly now, "boo all you want! But I was going to reform things, make things right, Fiero there," he points down at him. "Fiero was just a part of the plan, a puppet if you will. Things here are much bigger, much more complex than he knows."

"Whoa, whoa whoa," Spunk interrupts. "You weren't garunteed SHIT," the fans erupt as Spunk gets in his face. "You had a number one contenders match against 001, and I doubt you would have left unscathed enough to come out and fuck with me, never mind I had Shogo and YUSUKE to look after me..."

"Hey, buddy boy, how is your boy YUSUCKY there holdin' up?" Dod belts out, chewing gum with a smirk on his face as Spunk glares at him, as it was reported earlier that YUSUKE suffered a neck injury from Dod's attack last week and will be out of action for an unknown amount of time. Spunk shakes his head and turns back to Jesus X.

"Things... Things are bigger than you can grasp," Jesus X snaps off to Spunk. "So tonight, Fiero.. Tonight I'm cashing in on our contract. I want my title, as there is no way I'm going to get control apparently, as you fucked THAT one up pretty badly," he sneers. Fiero is livid, as he is tearing ass for backstage, with Dod trying to stop him.

"Cut it out, nobody is getting a fucking shot tonight, this shit is oveerrrrrrrrrrrrererer..." Fiero stumbles as Sommers has a firm grasp on his hair, not letting him move an inch. "Let the fuck go you hillbilly!" Sommers pulls hard, slamming Fiero down onto the concrete as Fiero yelps. Dod holds Sommers back and tells him to calm down, as he helps Fiero to his feet, holding him back from going after Sommers. "You fucker I swear that I'll..."

"Cut it out!" Dod slaps him across the face.

"Ow, why'd you..."

"Shut it!" Dod holds a finger over Fiero's mouth, "how 'bout this? You three clowns in the ring, take on us out here, huh?" Spunk and Shogo glare at each other, and then at Jesus X, back to each other, and then long and hard at Jesus X. Sommers seems to be oblivious, and looks like he just wants to kill somebody, as Fiero whispers into Dod's ear, Dod shaking his head and whispering back, Fiero nods in agreement and pats him on the shoulder. "C'mon, you three in there don't have shit on anybody out here, we'll even give you 2/3 falls to try to one-up us!"

"I could care less, this is just delaying the inevitable," Jesus X says. "But I'm game," the fans erupt as Spunk and Shogo are consulting with each other, Jesus X turning to Spunk, offering his hand. Spunk stares down at it, long and hard, before turning away, only for Shogo to argue with him, Jesus X's hand still extended. Spunk turns around and looks down at it, running his hands through his hair in frustration and kicking the bottom rope before he thrusts his hand out and shakes Jesus X's hand quickly, the fans erupting in cheers before he pulls away and jumps out of the ring. It looks like we have ourselves a main event set up here tonight, including the return of Jesus X! This is huge! This is confusing! This is Spunk Pro at its finest!

Hell, we still have a whole card to burn through here! Tomohiro Ito, the returning young sensation took on the tough challenge of Brad Wolf next, the former International Champion and Tag Champion, in a hard fought bout that ended after a huge Implant DDT from Ito, taking down the former tag champ in 16 minutes! Wolf's partner Stone had about the same amount of luck next, as he fell to D's tough lariat in 20 minutes in what was a hard fought battle, and one of D's biggest wins since his return. The Celtic Bruisers then fought the OdZ team of DEMOS and RUINER to a tough draw, with both men working over RUINER's weakened right arm throughout. It would have been a decisive finish for the Bruisers, had ZODIAK not nailed the ref with a chair after Baker nailed RUINER with a shoulderbreaker and had the Kimura locked in tight, RUINER visibly tapping, but the 30 minute time limit being reached while the ref was laid out. Baker and Gabriel were furious, as they chased ZODIAK to the back, DEMOS tending to RUINER who was heavily favoring his arm after the match.

Now here we are, the main event time in what is a very interesting Heavyweight title picture, we have Spunk, the former Champion, Shogo, his long-term Spunk Pro partner, former Junior ace and Champion, as well as Jesus X, the longest reigning Spunk Pro Heavyweight Champion and if anything, THE villain of the company before Fiero came around... This is something we thought we'd never see -- not only Jesus X back in the Spunk Pro ring, but teamed with Spunk. Then, on the other end, we have those two egotistical bastards Jack Dod, who really needs no introduction whatsoever, I mean, he is Jack Dod, former UWH Champion, leader of the Dod Squad and just general jackass, Tommy Fiero, the Heavyweight Champion, pretentious film-director-turned-giant-failure-and-embarrassment-to-the-wrestling-business, and Dan Sommers -- the most unpredictable powerderkeg we've ever seen. The man is a human wrecking ball, with 2 confirmed kills since snapping -- Hobo Joe and Bobo Gomez, with what looks like no end. He could also be held directly responsible for Fiero even holding that belt. Basically, in the ring right now we have the most dynamic scene we've probably ever seen.

The bell rings, and its brutal from the start. Sommers is an absolute beast, tearing through everybody in his path, and Fiero is hanging back trying to not get involved. When it comes down to Dan and Jesus X, the fans are in awe as Dan destroys the former champion, leveling him with a lariat, then hitting the huge powerbomb and Jesus X staying down for the 3 count! The first fall is down, and it was Dan putting down the returning Jesus X for the dupe! Things have degenerated into an all-out-brawl now, this is just not pretty. Spunk and Dod the legal men now, and Fiero finally showing his face in the ring, hitting a chop block on Spunk, then dragging him to the outside! Spunk is still showing the effects from last week's title match, taking the Alabama Nightmare and being so far the only man to really live to talk about it, but he is none-the-better for it, and its showing here as Fiero is putting it to him. Dod and Sommers are taking care of business in the ring, and ref Nick Fatts has lost complete control now, all he can do is count Spunk out on the outside as Spunk tries to get in, getting up to the apron only to eat a lariat from Dan, spilling him back out onto the outside, nailing his head on the railing! Fiero taking advantage here and has the Lock of Rock on him again! 18...19..20! Spunk has been counted out, and in just 2 falls this match is over! Things have degenerated into all-out mayhem here, as expected!

Dod Superkicks Jesus X out of the ring, and its Sommers and Dod trading blows on Otsuka, Spunk's last real cohort left here, and Dod is motioning to the back -- here come DEMOS and RUINER! Christ, this isn't going to be pretty! What are they doing? Dod with a Superkick to Shogo, laying him out! He sits him up, and RUINER off the ropes -- REVALATIONS!! (sliding kenka kick) That just took his head off! DEMOS picks him up, and drives him down with a pedigree! This is disgusting, somebody stop this! Sommers pushes everybody out of the way and hoists him onto his shoulders. Dod looks giddy in there as Sommers is about to drop him, Dod jumping up and down laughing as Jesus X looks on from outside, fully recovered, Spunk in the Lock of Rock with a bird's eye view of this, calling out for Jesus X to help Shogo, to get Shogo down. Jesus X simply looks on as Sommers pushes him off his shoulders, Spunk letting out a scream just as Shogo's face smacks up against Sommers' knee, a loud crack heard throughout the now silent arena, Otsuka completely out on the canvas... Spunk finally breaks free and tries to dash into the ring, but Fiero catches him with an elbow to the back of the head, Jesus X simply walking backstage as OdZ hover around and stomp the fallen Otsuka. The camera focuses on Dan's face, cold and stoned, then to Dod who has a sadistic grin on his face. Gabriel and Baker dash out from backstage, both criss-crossing around Jesus X and hit the ring, pulling OdZ to the outside and smashing them around the ringside area and spilling out into the crowd, the camera fading out on Jesus X standing in the entrance-way, flipping his hair back and staring into the chaos at ringside.

Nothing makes sense anymore.
