“Realize” by ACDC begins blasting over the Cairo Stadium Indoor Halls Complex's PA system moments before pyro's suddenly start going off as Tuesday Night Titans episode 118 goes live! The camera cuts to an aerial view, one that slowly pans around the arena to reveal a jam packed arena with fans going wild while they cheer in anticipation of the beginning to this upcoming show!
The aerial camera, it's feed cuts just as another camera, on the ground; close to the ramp immediately shows John Cartwright and Randy White walking down the ramp. They soon pass the camera by but it begins to follow them the rest of the way down the ramp and to the ringside entrance.
The two men, they take the path to the right and the camera follows as it looks out at the fans who're having a great evening. It seems like every fan wants to be seen on the Strike-tron as they attempt to push each other out of the limelight as a “SFT” chant takes over the arena like a thunderous storm!
Finally, the two men, they reach the announcer's table and pickup both of their headsets simultaneously before placing the instrument in the desired location.
RW: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Tuesday Night Titans episode 118!
JC: Tonight we've got three matches planned for you, Emerson will be challenging the newly crowned SFT Hardcore Champion!
RW: There's been some bad blood between the two lately that's left Emerson on a path of retribution against both, Robert and Travis! Will he be able to get back at Robert for his transgrestions against Emerson or will The Viper dodge a bullet?
JC: Then the dual champion, Jack Jones will be defending the SFT Intercontinental title against a controversial newcomer, "The Shrimp" Rick Craig!
RW: Will Jack Jones be able to hold off this wild newcomer or will the promising young talent start making shockwaves in the upper tier of SFT talent by beating the current World and Intercontinental champion?
JC: The last match we've got planned for you this evening, Titans 118 main event will put Travis Deacon Hall, a guy who has been doing rather well this past summer, up against Louis Cypher, a decorated talent with many SFT acolades who can rival anyone at anytime!
RW: I can't wait to see who comes out on top this evening, these matches will be interesting to watch but first; we need to have a commercial break. Let's get that taken care of so we can find out what destiny has instore for all of these competitors this evening!
The scene cuts to commercial.
Emerson vs Robert Saints (hc title match)
The two men are already in the ring as Titans 118 comes back from commerciall. We see that there's weapons that sprawl through out the ring as the referee raises the Hardcore Championship into the air. He then calls for the bell. Emerson and Robert instantly lock up. Moments later, Robert hip tosses Emerson to the matt. He pursue's after Emerson who suddenly trips up Robert with a drop toe hold that goes straight into a sitting down ankle lock on The Viper. Saints writhes in pain and lets out occasional yells in pain as Emerson wratchets up the pain when he ratchets up the pressure of the hold. The referee asks The Viper if he wants to submit but the veteran refuses as he slowly pulls his and Emerson's weight all of the way to the ropes. The closer he gets to the ropes, the more pressure Emerson applies in desperation of trying to end the match with this one hold but no matter how much pressure is applied, The Viper isn't stopping.
JC: Robert Saints is about to the ropes! Talk about not giving up! A lesser man would've already been done!
Robert stretches out his hand, desperately reaching for the ropes as he yells in pain! He's so close that his fingertips are touching the lower rope but he can't quite grab it! Then, out of nowhere, Emerson just releases the hold before he gets up to his feet.
RW: That Emerson, what a good sport is! He could have kept the pressure on for a few seconds after Robert reached the ropes which would have caused even more damage to Roberts ankle but he let go early before The Viper even grabbed the rope!
Then, before Robert could gather his witts, Emerson latches onto Robert's legs and he begins to pull The Viper back to the middle of the ring as the fans cheer at the savvy move!!!
JC: HA HA! Now that's a clever move on Emerson's part! Here we all thought Emerson was just being a good guy like usual but he was only breaking the hold early so the referee wouldn't make him back up which would have given Robert a chance to get back up! Great thinking Emerson, I like it, ALOT!!!
RW: Indeed John, that was very smart! Clearly I was wrong but I should have known that Emerson was out for retribution against Robert for his acts a month ago!
Emerson turns Robert over onto his back and goes to grab Robert's legs but he gets a boot to the face for his efforts! Then, Robert sweeps Emerson's legs out from underneath himself and Emerson's head falls face first into a trash can!
JC: That was some quick thinking by our the Hardcore Champ but he needs to get up and get on the offensive instead of laying there!
RW: I agree but apparently he thinks he needs some time to recuperate from that vicious ankle lock that he had to endure!
Robert has finished taking a couple of minutes to recover from the ankle lock and he's now slowly getting up while Emerson is starting to show life by moving around a little after going head first into the trash can. Robert is now on his feet, he limps over to a steel chair, bends over and latches onto it. He then walks over to Emerson, who has now managed to make it up to his knees. Emerson's face is visibly bleeding from a cut on his face that came from falling into the trash can. Robert hauls off and then viciously swings the chair right onto Emerson's head!! The shot was so intense that the sound was easily heard in the nosebleed section of the arena. The fans begin cheering at the sight of Robert's merciless act. Robert immediately pins the challenger.
JC: There's no way Emerson will be getting up from that! (John starts counting with the referee) 1... 2... NO!!!!! How in the heck did Emerson kick out!?!?
RW: Emerson's got heart, that's all there is to it!
Robert bends over and grabs Emerson by the head, he then picks Emerson up to his feet. Super Em kicks The Viper in the stomach out of nowhere before he savagely DDT's Robert's face into the same steel chair that was used against Emerson! The challenger quickly goes for the pin and the referee counts one as Travis Deacon Hall comes running out from the back. Travis makes it halfway down the ramp as the referee reaches the two count! All of the fans are up on their feet in anticipation of what's about to transpire and Travis has just slid in the ring once the referee hits the three count!
RW: We have a new Hardcore Champion! Congratulations to Emerson for outwitting The Viper, Robert Saints!!
JC: Emerson's in...
Before John Cartwright could finish what he was saying, Emerson gets nailed in the face with a running boot from a fresh Travis Deacon Hall!
JC: (John finishes his sentence) Trouble!
The referee calls for the bell as Travis Deacon Hall begins to beat on a currently helpless Emerson and Travis continues this assault for a few minutes while the bell periodically rings. Robert Saints finally makes it up to his feet and then jumps in the beat down on Emerson. The referee has tried and tried to get Travis to stop over these past few minutes and the situation has now gotten worse with The Viper helping Travis.
RW: Scoundrels! Someone has got to stop this!
Suddenly, "Livewire" by ACDC begins playing through out the arena. Moments later we hear a voice say..
Voice: Tweetle Dee and Tweetle Dumb, you idiots lost, get over it and leave the ring!!!
Then we see Shrimp emerge from behind the curtain as both Travis and Robert are now looking at the little shit with the microphone who is slowly making his way down the ramp while he talks some more.
Shrimp: What!?!? Are you two deaf as well as dumb!?! I mean it! Get out of the ring! It's time for me to become the Intercontinental Champion, this has been a long time coming and you imbeciles aren't going to delay my rise, any longer, even if I've got to come down there and kick both of you out all by myself!
RW: Unbelievable.. The nerve this guy has is simply astonishing!
Travis and Robert take a brief moment to look around the ring, they then each grab a weapon. Robert latches onto the same steel chair he had earlier while Travis grabs a lead pipe. The two then briefly look at Shrimp before they exit the ring and start to make their way around ringside.
RW: I do believe that, the Shrimp is about to get what's coming to him!
JC: Hey, he got them to leave Emerson alone and they're now leaving the ring! HA HA HA!!!
RW: Yeah, he did but I don't think this is what he had in mind but at least Emerson isn't getting assaulted anymore.
Randy's last comment is obviously correct as Shrimp lowers the microphone. Reading his lips, we see him say, "Shit". Then, Travis and Robert both take off in a full sprint at the mouthy little cuss who in turn, quickly runs away!
RW: And, he's gone!
JC: HAHAHA!!! Yeah he is, Shrimp can move pretty fast, I don't even think the Flash could have caught him at that moment. Regardless, Robert Saints and Travis Deacon Hall are in hot pursuit!
Winner: Emerson!
Randy and JC both laugh as Titans 118 cuts to commercial.
Shrimp vs Jack Jones (Intercontinental Championship Match)
The scene opens back up with both Shrimp and Jack Jones already in the ring. Jack has just given the referee the title and he has raised it up into the air to show everyone that the title is on the line.
RW: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen! Just in case you were wondering, there were no shrimps hurt while we were away. The security detail was able to stop both Robert and Travis shortly after they reached the backstage area. Also, the new Hardcore Champion, Emerson, was able to get up and walk himself to the back a bit heavier with the added weight of SFT gold, congratulations to him!
The camera briefly cuts to it's view of Randy and John to reveal Louis Cypher standing at ring side.
JC: Now, incase you're wondering what this good looking gentleman is doing down at ringside...
RW: (Randy interrupts John) Louis likely has bad intentions...
JC: Why are you being so Judgemental? He's probably just looking forward to seeing who he will be facing.
RW: Louis isn't the number one contender. He's still got to beat Travis Deacon Hall.
The referee calls for the opening bell. Jack Jones is obviously ready to lock up with Shrimp but the little guy holds up his finger and says "Wait!" to the dual champion. He then turns around, walks over to the side of the ring where Louis is at and says, "Didn't I tell you earlier to get the hell out of here!?! What are you still doing here? Scram!" Cypher smirks at the current challenger as he points for Shrimp to turn around. Shrimp's determined appearance instantly transforms into a look of regret because it's now that he realizes Jack Jones is right behind him, just waiting for Shrimp to turn around.
Regardless of what he knew, Shrimp had to turn around and when he did; sure enough, Jack was right there and he greated Shrimp with a punch to the face before backing the challenger into the corner. The champion, latches onto Shrimp's hand and goes to sling him into the opposite corner but Shrimp reverses the move. Jack Jones ends up going into the opposite corner instead. Shrimp show boats for a little bit while Jack calmly walks closer to the center of the ring. Visibly, it appears as if Jack Jones intends to lock up with Shrimp and vice versa. They both slowly approach each other. Right before they can lock up, Louis Cypher slides into the ring and viciously close-line's them both at the same time!!!
RW: I knew it, the fans knew it; heck, even the referee knew that Cypher had bad intentions! We all knew this, well, except for John...
The bell rings and the referee determines that this match is a no contest due to Cypher's interference...
Winner: No one!
The scene cuts to commercial.
(Segment)
John Cartwright: Wait a minute! WHAT??!!!
Randy White: Its their f***king hometown girl!
Candace appears from behind the curtain and in her casual custom attires with Egyptian flag embedded on the both sides of her shoulders. She is veiled except for her eyes and wearing such a long garment that it is being dragged on the floor. Something like she never wore before. Making her way down the ramp, the fans are still maniac and jumping right and left, taking their arms out from barricade to touch their hometown heroine.
Randy White: They wanna touch and feel her.
She gets into the ring and was handed over the microphone from the ring announcer. Begins to address the crowd as her music dies. She raises the mic near to her lips but then suddenly lowers it and roams her sight around the whole arena to feel the energetic crowd chanting for her, "Welcome back! Welcome back!".
John Cartwright: Yeah! Welcome back! I'm having goosebumps, baby!
Candace again raises the mic near to her face but before she speaks her first word, she removes the viel to show her face.
Randy White: Wait! Did we have any rumor about Candace changing her gender?
John Cartwright: SCAMMED!! WE'RE SCAMMED!!! Its NOT Candace.. Its JAY IMPACT!!
Jay Impact (imitating Candace's voice): My name is Jay Impact and this is my GLORY!!!!
A heavy set of booo just filled the whole arena as the crowd gets seriously disappointed of seeing Jay Impact impersonating their hometown woman.
Jay Impact: Wait! Why the heck everyone's booing here? A minute ago you were chanting "Welcome back!" Go ahead, and restart that chant. You are right! I am back! Welcome back to me!!!
The crowd heavily boos again and responds to Jay negatively.
Jay Impact: That's a strong reaction. Did I give Jack Jones a boner at backstage? Ha-ha-haa!!
John Cartwright: That's an insult! Fire him!
Randy White: I haven't got a sniper.
John Cartwright: Jones better have one.
Jay Impact: Come on! If I made such a surprise appearance somewhere other than Egypt, I will be cheered for that. But I knew. I freaking knew.. that you people, the camel-riders.. (crowd boos)... The one that are still living 100 century behind.. (crowd boos more)... uncivilized people.. will never able to appreciate what a true star looks like. I mean just see it on face-value. You just ruined my return and seriously wants me turn my heel.
Jay Impact turning his right heel on the ground, proposing for a heel-turn character.
Jay Impact: Now if I can be serious for a minute.. unlike Lance Storm.. I have got a lot in the back of my mind. Its been almost a year when you all see the last of me taking part in Goldrush Tournament. Eventually failed to win the match but, I did see your Significant Mental Prophet..
Randy White: Magnificent Candace, Jay!
John Cartwright: He is doing that on purpose.
Jay Impact: … winning the SFT Championship defeating her own stable boss. And I am not surprised if that whole setup of her being abducted, kidnapped, tortured, raped and what-not might have happened to her, were played by her own guys known as Murddocks!
Randy White: Flocks!
Jay Impact: But I am not her wasting my energy for any condolence to her or paying her a homage. We ain't have got much space here for women's division. Before Candace we used to have someone that roams around a saddist soul named Alessandra. Just kidding! I know its Cassandra. I noticed that ever since I took a break, she has been sneaking her head out to see whether it is a right time to make her return.
Jay lowers his mic, pauses for a few seconds and looks at the Tron.
Jay Impact: Cassandra! I know you're there, at backstage maybe, or watching me from 100 feet distance, or disguised as crew-member here. Or might be veiling yourself in the crowd to veil your identity. I am sure that grinding over James Gibbs' lap for two freaking years may have made you a lot more mature to confidently lock your eye with someone in the ring again and playout your first return match. That's right! I, Jay Impact, challenge you for a one on one match at Titans 119. What do you say folks?
The crowd has no reaction for Impact, atleast not a positive one.
John Cartwright: Lock it! I wanna see Cassandra vs. Impact. Don't you all?
Jay Impact: Ah! Well I am asking the wrong set of people who're no less than zombies, waiting for this show to get over so they can ride their camels back to their homes.
Randy White: Is he racist?
John Cartwright: He is a Canadian. That's what I know of him.
Jay keeps his level of insult and that brings back the energy in the crowd but only to boo him. Jay's music "Just closed your eyes" hits in the arena as he exits the ring and walks his way back to the backstage as sconce fades for the commercial.
Travis Deacon Hall vs Louis Cypher (Number one contender's match for the IC Title)
Cypher smirks at the sentiment as he casually grabs and pulls Travis Deacon Hall up by his long hair when Travis knocks Cypher's hands off of him before delivering a hard right hook that solidly connects on Cypher's chin.
RW: What a shot!
The well placed hook causes Cypher to instantly collapse and Travis immediately goes for the pin yet this only gets a two count before Cypher is able to kick out with minimal energy expended due to still trying to recover from the knock out punch he had just endured.
RW: Good awareness from Cypher!
Travis gets back up to his feet and falls back into the ropes before he takes off at the lying Cypher's body. Seconds later, he drops a leg on Cypher's head. Travis then, gets right back up and immediately does the same thing but this time, Louis rolls out of the way. Travis hits nothing but mat and he writhes in pain as he clutches his thigh. Cypher slowly gets back up and then swiftly kicks Travis squarely in the face! We can hear Robert smacking the mat again as he cheers for his partner who has just been covered for a pin. Travis is able to kick out just after a two count and then we notice that his nose is bleeding from the last shot he had taken.
JC: What a vicious stomp from Louis Cypher, the guy is heartless and I love it!
RW: Something has to be said for Travis Deacon Hall's ability to kick out after the brutal shot he just endured! Kudos to him!
Cypher gets back up to his feet before he savagely stomps on Travis Deacon Hall's face, not once but three times before the referee intervenes by pushing Cypher into the corner. The cold-hearted man shrugs as he smirks at the referee. Not even a second goes by when Louis climbs to the top rope. Cypher then launches himself off of the top rope, camera's are seen flashing from all directions, capturing the daring move all of the way up until the point where Cypher connects with the flying headbutt! Cypher wastes no time covering Travis and the three count is reached with Travis kicking out just after the third strike! Robert quickly slides in the ring but he's not quick enough because Louis instantly gets out of the ring and looks at Robert as he walks backwards up the ramp with a smirk on his face while he stares at Robert who is checking on his friend.
Robert then gets up and yells "You're lucky this time but you won't always be this lucky!"
Instantly, we wonder how lucky Cypher truly is when we see James Flame explode through the curtain from backstage! Fans are cheering and Cypher is soaking up what he mistakenly thinks are cheers for him! A few seconds later, James knocks the snot out of the new number one contender!
RW: Are my eye's deceiving me!?! Is that James Flame!?!
JC: It is, he's back!
The camera focuses in on James Flame as Titans 118 fades to black...
