Ranson Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Cage matches in WS2 are escape only, with the chance of success determined by the last move performed (a la pinfall or submission). It plays in single player mode like a regular match but eliminates the interference factor (which isn't an issue in The League...yet). As a quick side note, I just discovered that this isn't quite true. I just had a feud rival come in and beat the bejeezus out of me in a cage match. Weird.

ShadowedFlames Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Season Two, Week Six London, Ontario November 13, 2010 <object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyxBiUbCP8E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></object> THE LEAGUE: WEEK SIX The camera cuts to the interior of the John Labatt Centre as the requisite pyro and other such explosions threaten to ruin the future hearing of the 10,014 in attendance. As the lights come back up, the shot cuts to ringside and our usual two-man crew. Bob Sinclair: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to week six of The League! Bob Sinclair, sitting at ringside like always, and joined once again by my broadcast colleague, Frankie Garnett. Frankie, tonight looks to be a very interesting night in the ring. Frankie Garnett: Considering we're leaving Ontario with someone getting their first loss, I agree wholeheartedly. Bob Sinclair: Uh, Frankie? Phoenix and Sean aren't wrestling each other tonight. Frankie Garnett: I know that. Maynard is going to destroy Phoenix; I have it on good authority! Bob Sinclair: Frankie, the Magic 8-Ball is hardly an authority. Frankie Garnett: You leave my sources alone! Bob Sinclair: ...anyway, let's head to the ring to get the week underway! Nuclear Templeton (3-2) vs. Super Century (2-3) (Fans' Pick: Templeton, 9 – 3 (75.0%)) Without warning, all of the lights go off in the arena, casting everything into pitch blackness. A few seconds pass before a spotlight shines on one of the turnbuckles, revealing no one there. This is repeated with all four turnbuckles, each revealing no one there. Finally, one last spotlight shines down onto the middle of the ring, which reveals the caped form of The League's resident superhero, who stands with arms folded and staring intently into the audience. Amelia Williams: This is our opening contest, and it is scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, from the Halls of Justice, weighing 205 pounds...Super Century! Frankie Garnett: Bob, can you PLEASE explain why we let schmucks like this run around with masks on? This is why society has fallen into such chaos! Bob Sinclair: That was totally uncalled for. What has he done to you? Frankie Garnett: Offend my fashion sense! Bob Sinclair: I had to ask.... <object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m8InLP2whA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> Billy Idol's "Shock to the System" hits the speakers, bringing the crowd to their feet in ovation as one of the League's more recognizable faces emerges from backstage and across the green-tinted stage. As he hits the end of the entrance ramp, he throws his arms into the air, sending a pair of mushroom clouds into the air from the stage as he makes his way to the ring and through the ropes. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds...Nuclear Templeton! Bob Sinclair: Templeton comes in tonight, as he has for most of the season, as the Alpha Division leader; you have to imagine he's ready to fight tonight, Frankie. Frankie Garnett: Bob, his career record coming in is 11-8. He's tied with Robbie Maynard at that mark, and only one active member has a better record in League competition. The man is ALWAYS looking for a fight! Super Century moved and the Knife Edge Chop missed! Super Century hit the Spinning Backhand Blow Nuclear Templeton took the blow, but just shrugs it off and goes on the attack. Nuclear Templeton hit the Punch Super Century blocked the Toss To Corner.

Nuclear Templeton hit the Punch Nuclear Templeton hit the Roundhouse Punch Nuclear Templeton hit the Mounted Punch Flurry Super Century is busted open. Frankie Garnett: Hot damn! That didn't take long! Nuclear's bringing the abuse early tonight! Bob Sinclair: I truly believe this is the result of the more physically demanding matches coming into play; someone in Century's peak physical shape shouldn't be bleeding this early unless they are cut open. The Rear Naked Punch Flurry was countered into a Small Package. The referee begins the count... 1! 2! Kick Out! Super Century hit the Leg Lariat Super Century hit the Slingshot Senton Bomb Super Century climbs the turnbuckles. Nuclear Templeton recovers and stands up.

Super Century picks up Nuclear Templeton from behind. Nuclear Templeton counters by reversing on Super Century. Nuclear Templeton hit the Avalanche Nuclear Templeton hit the Snap Driving Elbow Super Century tries to get out of the crucifix pin, but Nuclear is beating him senseless! The referee begins the count... 1! 2! This Could Be It! The referee's hand starts coming down... 3! Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of nine and a half minutes...Nuclear Templeton! Bob Sinclair: And with that, Templeton ensures that he will walk away from Ontario with the best record in the Alpha Division once again. Frankie Garnett: More importantly, it means he beat the supposed "super powers" out of Super Century! Bob Sinclair: ...why are you ragging on the guy, Frankie? Frankie Garnett: He hides behind a mask because he's to embarrassed to show his face on national television! That's reason enough! Bob Sinclair: Then what about El Demonio? Frankie Garnett: You kidding? That mask gives me nightmares! I'm not about to say that to him! Bob Sinclair: Oh, brother.... Thor Hammerskald (1-4) vs. Scott Stevens (3-2) (Fans' pick: Stevens, 7 – 5 (58.3%)) <object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-UbViuK4fY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> Amon Amarth's "Death in Fire" hits the speakers, to a decent ovation as the League rookie emerges from backstage, looking every bit the part of a Viking warrior as he strides to the ring with a determined look on his face. Amelia Williams: Our next contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald! Bob Sinclair: Hammerskald's had a rough go of it so far this season, only notching one win in five attempts. Luck just hasn't been with him so far. Frankie Garnett: Luck, schmuck. Face it, anyone weighing over 300 pounds does terrible in The League. Bob Sinclair: And yet the heaviest man in here is undefeated this season. <embed src="http://www.4shared.com/embed/418344693/c67c6a9d" width="280" height="25" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed> The lights in the arena go pitch black, as red lasers and spotlights light up the area. The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen, "Nothing survives my sting!" Over the audio system a snippet of Dave Mustaine from the song "Scorpion" yells, "I am the Scorpion whoah!!!" This causes the crowd to start booing as a mash up of "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack and "Amazing" by Kanye West hits the speakers, and the man in question walks to the ring, talking trash the whole way. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Houston, Texas, weighing 265 pounds..."The Scorpion" Scott Stevens! Frankie Garnett: That's because no one is listening to the true star of The League and his statements that Phoenix is obviously cheating! Bob Sinclair: Frankie, the only people who believe that are you and Stevens. Phoenix has voluntarily submitted to tests after each show, and they've all come back clean. The evidence is against you.

As the beat continues, he sprints down the aisle, leaping onto the apron and somersaulting over the top rope, coming to a halt in the middle of the ring and looking ready to fight as the song fades. Amelia Williams: Our next bout is scheduled for one fall! In the ring, from Bien Hoa, Vietnam, weighing 177 pounds...Ly Quang Bao! Bob Sinclair: Frankie, I've heard talk backstage that Bao is looking to head back to Japan after the season is over; as he's gotten several offers from the major puro feds. Frankie Garnett: He'd be a fool to take them up on that offer...then again, he IS teaming with Phoenix in two weeks, so.... <object width="28" height="28"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GE59m3A9oI?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> The instrumental-only version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hits the arena to a mixed reaction as The League's lone female member emerges from backstage. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond! Bob Sinclair: This will be interesting, as two of The League's lightweights face off.

Emerging from the entryway, he turns to salute his homeland's flag before calmly walking to the ring, ignoring the fans as he slides into the ring and bounces off the ropes a couple of times to stretch. Amelia Williams: Our next bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Torres Vedras, Portugal, weighing 231 pounds...SGRaaize!

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighing 292 pounds...Tarik Nolan! Bob Sinclair: Nolan, after having a strong finish last season, hasn't been up to form so far.

His mask is obscured by the smoke billowing around him, and it is a blood-red spotlight that follows him to the ring as he hops over the top rope and waits impatiently for the carnage to begin. Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Tijuana, Mexico, weighing 142 pounds...he is El Demonio de Sangre!

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Manchester, England, weighing 237 pounds...Sebastian Moore!

Twin pillars of flame erupt from the entrance stage, one per side, as The League's largest member walks to the ring. As he approaches the steps, he pauses, bowing his head for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and releasing a shout to the skies above as he climbs onto the apron and steps between the ropes. Amelia Williams: His opponent, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds, one of the two undefeated men this season...this is The Phoenix! Frankie Garnett: Say it while you can, Amelia! He loses tonight! Bob Sinclair: Frankie, this is not the same Phoenix we saw last season. He looks far more composed and able to take a beating. I think he's got Maynard's number tonight.

ShadowedFlames Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Pages are updated, everyone! Season Two, Week Seven November 15, 2010 http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae344/ShadowedFlames/GDS%20League%20Stuff/BeyondRingsideBanner.jpg Look, man, don't get me started on terrible weeks. I just got through one that would make any inquisitional torture victim cringe in sympathy. First it was the issue with my godson going to the hospital for what ended up being tonsillitis, and then I had to listen to that egomaniacal jack-a-napes Scott Stevens ramble on and on for close to twenty minutes last weekend. I'm telling you, Terry, I was ready to strangle that...wait, what's that gesture for? We're on?! Why didn't you say so?!?! *clears throat* Hello once again, League fans and wrestlers alike! Welcome to the final week before the tag team tournament, and the story coming out of Ontario is that there are now five confirmed teams for the tag tournament, and we still have two undefeated wrestlers heading into week seven! No time like the present to look over the divisional standings, and see who our new leaders are! DIVISIONAL STANDINGS: END OF WEEK SIX (Note: AMR stands for Average Match Rating) ALPHA DIVISION 1. Nuclear Templeton: 4-2, 3.17 AMR 2. SGRaaize: 3-3, 6.83 AMR 3. Ly Quang Bao: 3-3, 2.67 AMR 4. Robbie Maynard: 2-4, 4.17 AMR (AMR is the tie-breaker.) BETA DIVISION NEW LEADER THIS WEEK! 1. Sebastian Moore: 4-2, 3.17 AMR 2. Maxx Skabb: 3-3, 4.83 AMR 3. Shawn Arrows: 1-5, 6.33 AMR 4. Thor Hammerskald: 1-5, 4.00 AMR (Tie broken by AMR.) GAMMA DIVISION 1. The Phoenix: 6-0, 3.67 AMR 2. Sean: 6-0, 2.83 AMR 3. Tarik Nolan: 2-4, 6.33 AMR 4. El Demonio de Sangre: 1-5, 2.67 AMR (Tie broken by AMR, as Divisional record is equal.) DELTA DIVISION 1. Scott Stevens: 4-2, 5.50 AMR 2. Johnny Triumph: 3-3, 4.83 AMR 3. Diamond: 3-3, 6.67 AMR 4. Super Century: 2-4, 4.67 AMR (Tie broken by Divisional record (Triumph 1-0, Diamond 0-1).) POPULARITY CHANGES: CANADA--ONTARIO (Ordered by descending end popularity after the show) IMPROVED: SGRaaize: 15.0000 -> 22.6025 Johnny Triumph: 15.0000 -> 21.0115 Tarik Nolan: 15.0000 -> 19.6475 Ly Quang Bao: 15.0000 -> 19.0873 Scott Stevens: 14.0000 -> 17.6215 Maxx Skabb: 15.0000 -> 17.5218 Nuclear Templeton: 15.0000 -> 16.7815 Diamond: 15.0000 -> 16.0460 Thor Hammerskald: 15.0000 -> 15.8285 Sebastian Moore: 15.0000 -> 15.7175 DECREASED: Sean: 21.0000 -> 20.6095 The Phoenix: 18.0000 -> 17.1530 Super Century: 14.0000 -> 12.7435 El Demonio de Sangre: 15.0000 -> 12.4325 Shawn Arrows: 15.0000 -> 11.6595 Robbie Maynard: 15.0000 -> 10.9970 AROUND THE LEAGUE: NEWS AND NOTES With only twelve days remaining until the tag team tournament, here's how all of the pertinent information looks: STILL UNDECIDED: Johnny Triumph: 29% Robbie Maynard: 27% Scott Stevens: 28% Sean: 25% Sebastian Moore: 24% Tarik Nolan: 30% DECISION REACHED: Diamond (26%) & Maxx Skabb (42%) Shawn Arrows (42%) & Super Century (23%) Ly Quang Bao (24%) & The Phoenix (38%) Nuclear Templeton (21%) & SGRaaize (27%) El Demonio de Sangre (26%) & Thor Hammerskald (29%) Phoenix & Bao ------------------\ | |--------------------\ TBD | | ------------------/ | TBD |------------------\ ------------------\ | | | | | |--------------------/ | Diamond & Skabb | | ------------------/ | TBD | ------------------\ | | | |--------------------\ | Nuclear & Raaize | | | ------------------/ | | Thor & Demonio |------------------/ ------------------\ | | | |--------------------/ Century & Arrows | ------------------/ Fans in the John Labatt Centre were asking if the epic squash that was Moore over Demonio was the quickest sanctioned match in League history. A check through the archives shows that it is not. That dubious distinction belongs to Sean defeating The British Warrior in two minutes and fifty seconds, in week eight of the first season (Washington, DC). The 3:10 match qualifies it for the second-fastest, though, and the utter dominance shown by Sebastian Moore ranks the match as the worst performance by a losing wrestler in the five month history of The League. PREDICTION CENTRAL It took six weeks to see our first 7-point performance in the prediction game, so congratulations are in order to Mr. masterded for his performance. He's also used that performance to surge to the top of the leaderboard, where the absence of a former co-leader led to a large drop in the standings for him, as you'll see below: 1. masterded: 30 points 2. I effin rule: 28 points 3 (tie). Moon_lit_tears, SeanMcG: 27 points 5 (tie). Derek_b, Tori Montgomery: 26 points 7 (tie). Jman2k3, Prophet: 25 points 9. TheKenwyne: 24 points 10 (tie). Ranson, Wrestling Century: 23 points 12. Jaded: 22 points 13. Dangrel: 20 points 14. Toasty: 4 points 15. Arrows: 3 points We head to Winnipeg, Manitoba this week, and the very impressive MTS Centre. Reports are that close to 17,000 tickets have already been sold for the event, and that the venue was sold out for this event within a day of the official schedule being announced. Will this be the venue where we lose at least one of our undefeated wrestlers? WEEK SEVEN: WINNIPEG, MANITOBA (Canada—The Prairies) (Match can be stopped for blood loss, Regular match, ref bumps allowed) Ly Quang Bao (3-3, 15%) vs. Sebastian Moore (4-2, 8%) No favorite ($1 bet returns $2 for each man) Moore's coming in off the most definitive squash in League history. Bao has very little chance in my view. Tori's Pick: Sebastian Moore, via submission (Chonan Lock), 6:10, F GAMMA DIVISION: The Phoenix (6-0, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-5, 14%) No favorite ($1 bet returns $2 for each man) The first of the undefeated wrestlers comes out early, but he's going against a man who will have a chip on his shoulder, no question. The two factors to watch for: Phoenix's in-ring resilience and his technical game versus Demonio's speedy assault. If Demonio gets caught, it's lights out, plain and simple. I'm calling for the sweep to happen here. Tori's Pick: The Phoenix, via submission (Eternal Requiem), 7:20, E DELTA DIVISION: Diamond (3-3, 15%) vs. Johnny Triumph (3-3, 15%) Favorite: Triumph, 4-5 ($1 bet returns $1.80) Underdog: Diamond, 11-9 ($1 bet returns $2.22) Triumph leads this series, two to one. As much as I'd like to pick Diamond, I can't in good conscience. I think Triumph, after three matches, has her very well scouted and that will be the difference. Tori's Pick: Johnny Triumph, via submission (Horns of Victory), 15:10, B- Nuclear Templeton (4-2, 15%) vs. Thor Hammerskald (1-5, 15%) No favorite ($1 bet returns $2 for each man) Honestly, the line surprises me. I mentally had Templeton as the favorite, but the wild card seems to be Thor's striking ability. Templeton is in better cardio shape, though, and slightly better pain-wise, so I see him barely nudging out a win here. Tori's Pick: Nuclear Templeton, via pinfall (Armageddon Lariat), 9:50, C Robbie Maynard (2-4, 15%) vs. Shawn Arrows (1-5, 15%) No favorite ($1 bet returns $2 for each man) Once again, the line surprises me. Arrows has the health and in-ring ability edge, but Maynard has a profound stamina edge and a win over Arrows last season. Also, Arrows has hit his finisher a grand total of one time in two seasons. That alone is what decides me. Tori's Pick: Robbie Maynard, via submission (Merseyside Maul), 7:10, D DELTA DIVISION: Scott Stevens (4-2, 15%) vs. Super Century (2-4, 15%) Both men are at even money ($1 bet returns $2) First off, a message for Scott: after discussions with Commissioner Marshall, who was representing the owner, it was decided that your bill was not coming out of my paycheck. Furthermore, he states that because the interview was with the official League website, your bill is considered null and void anyway. Check and mate. With that said, I'm picking Super Century to kick your head off and even the series. Tori's Pick: Super Century, via pinfall (Century Splash), 6:40, E SGRaaize (3-3, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (3-3, 15%) Favorite: Raaize, 8-9 ($1 bet returns $1.88) Underdog: Skabb, 9-8 ($1 bet returns $2.13) The line is based primarily off of Skabb's physical well-being. Skabb does have a win over Raaize last season, though, which is what I'm basing my decision on. Picking this as match of the night, with Skabb going over, but just barely. Tori's Pick: Maxx Skabb, via pinfall (Lethal Injection), 18:50, A GAMMA DIVISION: Tarik Nolan (2-4, 15%) vs. Sean (6-0, 15%) Favorite: Sean, 4-5 ($1 bet returns $1.80) Underdog: Nolan, 5-4 ($1 bet returns $2.25) Sean is 2-0 in League play against Nolan. Sean is also in better physical health, and slightly better in most of the big three genres (tech, speed, power). Once again, I think the last match of the night is a foregone conclusion, it ends quick, and it remains deadlocked at 7-0 heading into the tournament. Tori's Pick: Sean, via submission (Modified Figure Four), 6:50, F Next week is the tag tournament, and a chance for the wrestlers to recover slightly from the rigors of divisional competition. We'll cover that and more next week. Until then, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside! Ly Quang Bao (3-3, 15%) vs. Sebastian Moore (4-2, 8%) GAMMA DIVISION: The Phoenix (6-0, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-5, 14%) DELTA DIVISION: Diamond (3-3, 15%) vs. Johnny Triumph (3-3, 15%) Nuclear Templeton (4-2, 15%) vs. Thor Hammerskald (1-5, 15%) Robbie Maynard (2-4, 15%) vs. Shawn Arrows (1-5, 15%) DELTA DIVISION: Scott Stevens (4-2, 15%) vs. Super Century (2-4, 15%) SGRaaize (3-3, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (3-3, 15%) GAMMA DIVISION: Tarik Nolan (2-4, 15%) vs. Sean (6-0, 15%) TRAINING PM'S ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, 19 NOVEMBER AT 8:00 PM EST / SATURDAY, 20 NOVEMBER AT 1:00 AM GMT PREDICTIONS ARE DUE BY SATURDAY, 20 NOVEMBER AT 8:00 PM EST / SUNDAY, 21 NOVEMBER AT 1:00 AM GMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than those two reasons I can't think of anything else to how I'm similar to Big Smack Scott cause he's a douchebag and I'm the perfect rolemodel.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Speaking of being a rolemodel, Super Century classifies himself as not only being The League's superhero but also it's rolemodel as well by telling the fans they can be just like him by drinking tons of nutritional shakes.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Christ, what's next Century? You going to tell them to say their prayers, eat their vitamins, and drink a glass of milk? Who do you think you are? Sam Strong?......Brother!!!!!!!! You see superhero, if anyone the fans can look up to it's a true winner, a legend, world champion, hall of famer like myself. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: And for a small fee they can get your John Han**** as well.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Of course babe, I mean fighting for truth, justice, and the American way isn't cheap afterall. You see I'm saving Canada from the evils of the Colts, Stones, and most importantly the Barbosas. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Hey!!!!!</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: You heard right, your family don't want no more of this.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Of course not. They couldn't stop you the first time.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Exactly and you said your brothers were tough.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Not as tough as you sexy.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> (Scorpion and Lisa kiss)</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Aw babe, you're making me blush.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Ok, back to Super Century.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Oh right, so in conclusion Super Century, come this Saturday superhero I will be The Joker and </em></p><p><em> you will be my Jason Todd and I'm going to beat the ever living piss out of you.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Excellent as always.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Thank ya, now can we cut the lights off and do some prematch exercises if you catch my drift.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Later, first you must address that skank Tori Montgomery. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: What about her? She complaining about having to pay me five grand again.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: She said she doesn't have to pay.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: What? Why?</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Said Commissioner Marshall found some loop hole that said she didn't have to pay.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: That Marshall jabroni sure does find a lot of loop holes doesn't he. It doesn't matter cause I can make five grand just like that.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> (Scorpion snaps fingers)</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: BAM!!!!!!! Five grand baby, easy as pie.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Plus the skank goes on to say she hopes you get your head kicked in by Century.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Sounds like she is making you mad babe.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Damn right she is. Who does this bimbo think she is exactly to talk my man like that? As far as I'm concerned she can't even hold my sports bra.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Yeah Tori, you don't want to make the wifey mad. She'd rather punch you in the throat than be nice and play dress up. She is one of the most feared women wrestlers in the world. I know Diamond is praying that "The Goddess" next to me didn't join The League as an active competitor but joined as my manager instead. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: So Skank Montgomery, watch what you say next time or else we have a problem.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Listen to her Tori, she is one bad bitch.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Lisa: Don't play with fire unless you intend to get burned.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Scorpion: Because nothing survives our sting!</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> (Fade 2 black)</em></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
