KINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER vs. MASTERS OF THE MOSCOWVERSE

Cut to the broadcast table where Missouri Valley Wrestling announcers Thunderbolt Smith and ‘Long Haul’ Rick Hall are.

Thunderbolt Smith: Hello again everyone, I’m Thunderbolt Smith of the MVW announce crew.  This is ‘Long Haul’ Rick Hall.

Rick Hall: Hey.

Thunderbolt Smith: And following that….well….I wouldn’t quite call it an opening contest so much as a mugging, we are OFFICIALLY ready to get underway with PWA-02 Night Two! We have seven matches on tap for you tonight. 

Rick Hall: That’s right, Thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt Smith: All right, Rick. 

It goes pitch black in the arena.

Thunderbolt Smith: And it looks like it’s time to get the show started. 

DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAAAAA
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA!

The music (Big and Rich’s ‘Save a Horse- Ride a Cowboy’) starts up and a big flash of light illuminates the arena.  When the lights come back on… Boone Daniels and Crockett Davies are on the stage… looking out at the crowd… sitting on horses. 

Rick Hall: Well now…

Boone’s on a black horse; Davies is on a white horse. 

Daniels is sporting a Daniel Boone-like coonskin cap, a worn leather jacket and other attire appropriate for a Western frontiersman. 

Davies is also dressed in the attire of a Western frontiersman complete with hat and a shotgun slung on his back. 

A spotlight shines on MVW’s ring announcer Heather Cooper standing in the center of the ring.

Heather Cooper: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.  TONIGHT’S FIRST MATCH WILL BE…

“ONE FALL!”

Heather Cooper: INTRODUCING FIRST… WEIGHING IN AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF FOUR HUNDRED AND FIVE POUNDS!  BOONE DANIELS… CROCKETT DAVIES… THE KINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER!

The crowd roars as a marching band walks in step behind the duo with two flag girls holding up a large banner that reads: ‘SADDLE UP.’ 

Behind the marching band there’s a group of five women dressed in suit coats and mini-skirts with garters who dance along to the music carrying briefcases in their hands.

Rick Hall: Coming out tonight with quite the entrance.  Almost Rah-like.

The procession moves forward when Big and Rich begin to sing.

Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill

Upon closer review, the marching band are all playing banjos and fiddles, marching in step down the ramp towards the ring, led by the ‘drum major’ who leads the way.

And I buy the bar a double round of Crown
And everybody’s getting down
An’ this town ain’t never gonna be the same

Daniels and Davies appear relatively calm, perched on their respective horses, oblivious to the circus behind them, making their way down towards ringside.  This is their first real big boy match of their career and it’s in front of sixteen thousand people.

Cause I saddle up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty

We also see a farm girl driving a large, green John Deere tractor down the ramp and a cowgirl dance team… dance… behind her, trailing the rest of the group.  

Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy

Daniels and Davies approach the ringside area.  They slowly guide their horses down the aisle at a leisurely stroll.

Well I don’t give a dang about nothing
I’m singing and Bling-Blinging
While the girls are drinking
Long necks down!

Arriving at ringside, Daniels and Davies circle the ring followed by the marching band and the girl driving a tractor.  The five women dressed in business suitcoats and the cowgirl dance team climb into the ring to do their dance routine there.

And I wouldn’t trade ol’ Leroy
Or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
Or your freak parade
I’m the only John Wayne left in this town

Daniels and Davies stop at the ring steps and dismount from their horses.  Two horse wranglers take the reigns and guide the animals back up the ramp to the back. 

Cause I saddle up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty

The marching band and the tractor both start back up the ramp.  Daniels and Davies are now in the ring in the corner trying to stay out of the way of the elaborate dance routine going on in the ring.

Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
What? What?

Boone and Crockett raise their arms at the ‘What? What?’ part. 

Thunderbolt Smith: What?

Rick Hall: Yeah, that was a little awkward looking.

Thunderbolt Smith: At least both youngsters are getting a laugh out of that. 

They begin to remove the cowboy garb and get down to their wrestling trunks.

Save a horse ride a cowboy
Everybody says
Save a horse ride a cowboy

The dancers quickly make a hasty exit leaving Boone Daniels and Crockett Davies in their corner to talk strategy one final time. As the Kings continue to warm up, we see a whole different sort of visual…the symbol of the Red Army, bringing our attention back to the entranceway for the arrival of the Kings’ opponents.

Heather Cooper: AND THEIR OPPONENTS…

A trap remix of the Soviet Union national anthem plays throughout the arena as Kenny Freeman steps out onto the stage, pushing the wheelchair of Randall Schwartz with Red Army leader Ivan Stanislav standing next to the duo.

Heather Cooper: ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY… THE RUSSIAN BEAR… IVAN STANISLAV-

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Heather Cooper: WEIGHING IN TONIGHT AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX POUNDS… KENNY FREEMAN! RANDALL SCHWARTZ! THEY ARE THE MASTERS OF THE MOSCOW-VERSE!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

They arrive at the top of the ramp, where Randall asks Kenny to take a pause for the cause as the crowd shows their disdain for the trio in their presence.

Thunderbolt Smith: What’s going on here, now?

Rick Hall: They’re basking in the jeers from this crowd tonight.

And bask they do, the Masters looking rather smug as they nod to their new leader…

Thunderbolt Smith: Ivan Stanislav is big.  REALLY big.

Rick Hall: Bigger than Bill Dickinson even.  And that’s big.

…before Kenny gives a small nudge to Randall’s wheelchair, sending the Entertainer on a joyride down the ramp!

Rick Hall: What in the world…?

Thunderbolt Smith: Randall Schwartz is off his rocker, look at the smile on his face!

Why is Randall smiling, one may ask? Because he slams on his chair’s breaks near the end of the ramp, rolling into a somersault to the floor at ringside…before rising to his feet, revealing that he is quite capable of standing and walking.

This draws even more boos from the crowd, who don’t seem too enthused with the performance as Kenny and Ivan walk down the ramp to ringside.

Rick Hall: Randall can walk! It’s a miracle!

Thunderbolt Smith: We found out after PRIME’s ReVival 29 event that Randall Schwartz was cleared to compete tonight, and it looks like Randall has removed any doubt of his capabilities as the Masters of the Moscowverse look to make a statement at the expense of the Kings of the Wild Frontier.

Rick Hall: Thunderbolt, after Kenny Freeman put down Jack Owyns that same night they want to come out here tonight and prove to Ivan Stanislav that recruiting them to the Red Army was a good idea!

The three of them arrive at the ring now, with Randall sliding into the ring to stare down the Kings as Kenny takes a walk up the steps to enter. The pair starts to mouth off with the Kings as referee Davey Keels does the pre-match check of both teams.

Thunderbolt Smith: MVW’s senior referee Davey Keels will be in charge of this match.

Rick Hall: This will be one of the few times Daniels and Davies will actually out-weigh their opponents. 

Thunderbolt Smith: Except Freeman and Schwartz have Ivan Stanislav in their corner.

Rick Hall: He may very well be the difference maker.  We’ll find out how far along Daniels and Davies have come in their young wrestling career.

Keel motions to the timekeeper’s table.

DING DING

Thunderbolt Smith: And night two of PWA-02 is underway.

Boone Daniels and Kenny Freeman to start.  

Thunderbolt Smith: Here we go… NO!  It’s SCHWARTZ!

Schwartz runs in behind Freeman and try to catch Daniels by surprise.

SMACK

Thunderbolt Smith: DANIELS WITH A FRONT KICK AND HE NEARLY TOOK SCHWARTZ’S HEAD OFF!

Rick Hall: Alert move by Boone Daniels. 

Thunderbolt Smith: Right hands by Daniels and Schwartz is down on the mat.

Daniels reaches out and tags in Crockett Davies.

Thunderbolt Smith: Daniels clubbing Randall Schwartz and makes a quick tag to Crockett Davies.

Davies lands right-hand forearms on Schwartz and Kenny Freeman looks like he’s about to come in.  Keels glances over to him and Freeman holds his fire for the moment.

Thunderbolt Smith: Davies whips Schwartz to the ropes.

Keels starts a five count on Daniels who hasn’t left the ring yet.

Thunderbolt Smith: Drop toehold by Davies.

Daniels runs the ropes on the other side.

Thunderbolt Smith: Big leg drop by Daniels.

Rick Hall: Good teamwork by the King-

Thunderbolt Smith: COVER BY DAVIES

ONE..

TW- Freeman clubs Davies from behind.

Thunderbolt Smith: Kenny Freeman makes the save!

Freeman goes right over to Daniels and dropkicks him off the ring apron.

Thunderbolt Smith: Freeman’s taunting Daniels but he doesn’t see trouble behind him.

Davies taps Freeman on the shoulder.  Freeman turns and…

SMACK

Thunderbolt Smith: RIGHT HAND BY DAVIES! 

Rick Hall: That rocked Kenny Freeman!

Thunderbolt Smith: Another right hand by Davies spins Freeman around! 

Daniels back up on the apron and he pops Freeman with a left hand.  Daniels holds out his hand and Davies tags in.

Thunderbolt Smith: DAVIES LOADS UP FOR A OVER THE SHOULDER BACKBREAKER!

Ivan Stanislav jumps onto the apron.

Rick Hall: Ivan Stanislav is screaming at Randall Schwartz to get up!

Thunderbolt Smith: Schwartz must have got his bell rung good- Daniels climbs to the top turnbuckle! 

Daniels flies through the air.

Thunderbolt Smith: DANIELS GUILLOTINES FREEMAN!

Freeman crash lands on the mat.  Daniels rolls him up but Schwartz is revived and he boots Daniels in the back of the head.

Thunderbolt Smith: SCHWARTZ MAKES THE SAVE!

Rick Hall: Davey Keels didn’t make the count because Freeman wasn’t the legal man in.

Thunderbolt Smith: Now Davies and Schwartz are going at it.  Schwartz down.

Davies gives Schwartz another boot for good measure and then looks to clear out of the ring.

Thunderbolt Smith: Schwartz back on his feet and delivers a forearm shot to Davies.

Davies staggers forward into the ropes but comes right back out.

Thunderbolt Smith: Schwartz whipped into the corner by Davies.  Here he comes.

Davies with a forearm shot to the face in the corner.

Thunderbolt Smith: And Schwartz collapses in the corner.

Davies goes over and tags in Daniels.  Schwartz back to his feet and runs towards them.

SMACK

Thunderbolt Smith: Right hand chop by Boone Daniels catches Randall Schwartz coming in.  Headlock takeover by Daniels but Schwartz counters with a headscissors.

Schwartz releases the hold and goes to his corner to tag Kenny Freeman back in.  Daniels goes over to Freeman.

Thunderbolt Smith: Freeman uses his own foot to block a takedown attempt.  Standing switch by Freeman.  Snap German suplex.

Freeman holds the bridge.

ONE…

Thunderbolt Smith: Davies in and makes the save!

Rick Hall: Randall Schwartz is in the ring now.

Thunderbolt Smith: All four men in the ring.

Davies is throwing down with Schwartz… Daniels is tangling with Freeman.

Thunderbolt Smith: Boone Daniels stomping away on Kenny Freeman.  Rake of the eyes to Schwartz by Crockett Davies.

Davies lifts Schwartz up and slams him to the mat prompting the Russian Bear to climb up onto the ring apron.

Thunderbolt Smith: The Russian Bear is on the ring apron and he doesn’t look too pleased.

Rick Hall: Thunderbolt, Ivan Stanislav is saying words in Russian I don’t believe are family-friendly.

Thunderbolt Smith: OHHH!  Kenny Freeman just went low on Boone Daniels.

Daniels doubles over.  Davies sprints towards Freeman.

Thunderbolt Smith: FREEMAN MOVES!

Davies rams into the turnbuckle.

Rick Hall: He hit that at full speed!

Thunderbolt Smith: Freeman whips Davies into the ropes… HE GOES OVER! 

Davies flips over the ropes… but he manages to hold on to the top rope with his hands.

Rick Hall: IVAN STANISLAV LOWERED THE TOP ROPE BUT DAVIES SAVED HIMSELF!

Thunderbolt Smith: Schwartz and Freeman are laying the boots to Daniels.  Davey Keels goes over and tries to break up the two on one.

With Keels’ eyes averted, Stanislav turns to Davies who’s landed right next to him.

Rick Hall: Uh oh.  Not a good place to be.

Thunderbolt Smith: STANISLAV…

…lifts Davies up with one arm…

Rick Hall: Oh boy.

…and with great force launches the youngster into the air and…

BOOM

…through the Spanish announce table at ringside.

Thunderbolt Smith: There’s a Spanish announce table?  I mean… IVAN STANISLAV JUST THREW CROCKETT DAVIES THROUGH A TABLE! 

Ivan Stanislav: DYAAHAAHAA!! 

Rick Hall: I think it’s safe to say that we’ve just had our first yeeting of the evening.

Thunderbolt turns to him.

Thunderbolt Smith: Yeeting?

Rick Hall: Hey, I did my homework for tonight.

Davies is somewhere in the wreckage of what used to be the Spanish announce table, which opens the door for the Masters to start taking control of the situation.

Thunderbolt Smith: Kenny making the tag back to Randall here, and these two are beating down on Daniels! They’re really taking advantage of Davies being incapacitated.

Rick Hall: And Davey Keels ready to break things up before they get too chaotic. Let them fight!

Kenny backs off, heading back to the apron as Randall goes to work on Daniels, locking in the dreaded chinlock to some jeers from the crowd.

Thunderbolt Smith: Wait, no, Daniels is starting to fight back!

Rick Hall: I don’t believe it, nobody gets out of the chinlock!

Thunderbolt can’t help but shoot a glare at Hall as Daniels gets to his feet…only to be sent to the ropes by the Entertainer, who catches the young man from behind with a sleeper hold yelling “GLAAH-I GOT ‘EM” in the process!

Thunderbolt Smith: Daniels trapped in another hold! Can he get out of the sleeper, or will he pass out?

Rick Hall: Schwartz out here putting on a clinic here in Mexico, Thunderbolt! You love to see it!

Randall cinches the hold in tight, trying to seep all the energy out of Daniels as Keely checks the arm, raising it up once only to watch it fall. Twice…and the arm falls again. And the third time…

Thunderbolt Smith: NO! Daniels keeps his arm up on the third check, indicating he’s still got some fight left in him!

Rick Hall: I’ll give him credit, Daniels has a lot of heart…but can he actually get out of the mess he’s in!?

Daniels hits Schwartz square in the sternum with an elbow shot, finally getting out of the hold as he hits the ropes…hitting a big shoulder tackle on the rebound, sending Randall down to the canvas!

Thunderbolt Smith: Down goes Schwartz! Down goes Schwartz!

Rick Hall: Oh no! Randall may end up back in that wheelchair by the time this is over!

Randall manages to slide back just enough for Kenny to get a blind tag in, before leaping off the ropes to hit a big leg lariat on Daniels!

Thunderbolt Smith: Oh my, what impact by Freeman on that leg lariat! Kenny’s already back to his feet…and he hits a dropkick that sends Daniels to the corner!

Rick Hall: Kenny absolutely precise in his motion and attack tonight, Thunderbolt!

Kenny drags Daniels away from the corner now, turning him onto his stomach before going to work on his overly-complicated submission hold!

Thunderbolt Smith: Freeman Special! PRIME fans will remember this move being put to good use on Jack Owyns at ReVival 29, and Kenny’s got it locked in tight on Daniels now!

Rick Hall: Oh man, if you thought the sleeper hold was something special…ain’t no way Daniels is getting out of this one!

Daniels is struggling, trying to reach for the bottom rope nearby…but he’s completely trapped between the head hold, the wristlock, AND the leg being grabbed!

Thunderbolt Smith: Wait a minute, Davies is finally coming to on the outside…but Ivan and Randall are on the attack!

Rick Hall: There goes the Kings’ chances of winning this one!

And Rick Hall makes the right call, as Daniels has no choice but to tap out! Keels calls for the bell, this one is over!

DING DING DING

Heather Cooper: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, AS A RESULT OF A SUBMISSION…KENNY FREEMAN AND RANDALL SCHWARTZ, THE MASTERS OF THE MOOOOSCOOOOWVERRRRSE!

The crowd inside Arena Mexico are none too pleased about this, booing the ever-living hell out of the Masters as Kenny finally releases the hold, allowing Keels to raise his arm in victory. Ivan and Randall slide into the ring, having done the proper amount of damage to Davies on the outside before the Russian Bear raises the arms of his recruits to another chorus of boos from the crowd.

Thunderbolt Smith: What an opening contest this was, folks! The Kings of the Wild Frontier showed a lot of heart in what is essentially their second match in the business, but it was not quite enough to overcome the might of the Masters of the Moscowverse!
