"The League"--Seasons Three and Four

Season Three, Week Five

March 22, 2011

And then...there was only one remaining. Nuclear Templeton stands alone as the last undefeated wrestler this season, but can he eclipse the record of 7-0 set last season? His road to perfection continues this week!

Hello again, League fans! Tori Montgomery here, relishing in a vast turnaround from a few weeks back in the prediction game, and thoroughly enjoying all of the twists and turns that this season is generating. And to think that we are still three months away from the playoffs!

In any event, there's a lot to go over this week, so let's hop to it!

COUNTDOWN TO TAG TEAM TURMOIL

Five weeks separate us from Tag Team Turmoil. We now have a sixth team comfirmed, leaving the available pool rather shallow at this point. The updated roster is listed below:

"Norse Code:" Maxx Skabb and Thor Hammerskald

"Team LARIATO:" Nuclear Templeton and SGRaaize

Diamond and Ezekial Kerghan

"The Century of the Scorpion:" Scott Stevens and Super Century

Tarik Nolan and The Phoenix

Newly added this week: El Demonio de Sangre and Robbie Maynard

For those of you following along, that means that the following League members currently do not have partners: Ian Carlisle, Sebastian Moore, Sean, and Johnny Triumph. As soon as all eight teams are formed, brackets will be made and posted here exclusively on Beyond Ringside. If you see them anywhere else before then, they are like Portal's cake: a lie.

BY THE NUMBERS

We're returning to our realm of subjective numbers and not concrete data this week, just to annoy you statisticians out there reading. We're focusing on how "in shape" the League is this week with our two selections.

LEAGUE LEADERS: STAMINA

1. Robbie Maynard

2. Nuclear Templeton

3. Ezekial Kerghan

4. SGRaaize

5. Diamond

LEAGUE LEADERS: ATHLETICISM

1. Robbie Maynard

2. Super Century

3. Ezekial Kerghan

4. El Demonio de Sangre

5. Sean

PREDICTION CENTRAL

After going 0-for-8 earlier in the season, I somehow managed to get all eight picks correct, which salvages my hopes for this season. The zero-correct streak stops at two weeks, as the low score was 3 this week.

Mr. Jman2k3 claims the top spot on the leaderboard this week, with former prediction winner Miss moon_lit_tears well within striking distance.

Maximum points available last week: 14.43 (81.20 for the season)

1. Jman2k3: 45.53 points (9.17 last week), 22 total picks correct.

2. moon_lit_tears: 39.96 points (12.29 last week), 22 total picks correct.

3. masterded: 36.81 points (9.43 last week), 21 total picks correct.

4. Dangrel: 34.80 points (11.92 last week), 17 total picks correct.

5. Wrestling Century: 33.00 points (5.01 last week), 15 total picks correct.

6. Ranson: 30.30 points (8.54 last week), 20 total picks correct.

7. Prophet: 29.21 points (6.04 last week), 19 total picks correct.

8. Tori Montgomery: 27.88 points (14.43 last week), 15 total picks correct.

9. MichiganHero: 27.55 points (7.45 last week), 18 total picks correct.

10. Derek B: 27.46 points (5.73 last week), 17 total picks correct.

11. I Effin Rule: 26.88 points (7.56 last week), 16 total picks correct.

12. SGRaaize: 25.20 points (5.79 last week), 16 total picks correct.

13. GruntMark: 24.87 points (3.65 last week), 16 total picks correct.

14. Comradebot: 22.75 points (0.00 last week), 14 total picks correct.

15. Ian Carlisle: 21.05 points (7.77 last week), 14 total picks correct.

16. Jaded: 13.67 points (0.00 last week), 7 total picks correct.

17. SeanMcG: 13.40 points (5.01 last week), 9 total picks correct.

Toronto hosts The League this week. No divisional matches on the card this week, which could make for some interesting matches. Let's take a look.

WEEK FIVE: TORONTO, ONTARIO (Canada—Ontario)

(Regular style match, blood stoppages enforced, ref bumps allowed)

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)

(Career Series: The Phoenix, 1 - 0)

I'm basing this pick on one reason, and one reason only: The Phoenix is 7-0 in his career when wrestling in Toronto, and the first major singles championship win in his career came in Toronto. This is home away from home for the big man, and he will take advantage of this despite having very few moves that can make his opponent bleed.

Tori's Pick: The Phoenix

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)

(Career Series: First Meeting)

Ian Carlisle draws the unfortunate task of trying to stop Nuclear's undefeated season. Four words for you, Ian: Not happening this week.

Tori's Pick: Nuclear Templeton

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)

(Career Series: First Meeting)

If you'd asked me three weeks ago, I'd have said that this match was Hammerskald's to lose. Now, though, it's closer than one may think. I'm going to play a hunch here and give Diamond the upset nod, based off of her new finisher.

Tori's Pick: Diamond

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)

(Career Series: Sean, 2 - 0)

Divisional rivals last season, Sean swept the series against Demonio. Not going to bet against a third victory here; Sean has practically every advantage in this match.

Tori's Pick: Sean

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)

(Career Series: Sebastian Moore, 2 - 0)

However, in this case, I have to go against history. Moore has struggled this season, and Skabb should take advantage of that fact in quick order. If Maxx loses this match, I will be shocked.

Tori's Pick: Maxx Skabb

Robbie Maynard (3-1, 11%) vs. SGRaaize (1-3, 23%)

(Career Series: SGRaaize, 3 - 1)

That's right, folks. That's not a typo above. Maynard's lone win came back in week eight of the first season, though he barely squeaked out with less than 40% offense in that match. Raaize has won the following three matches, bringing us to this point. There's a huge popularity difference, but Raaize made up a similar difference in their first meeting last season, under similar rules.

Yes, folks, I do my research.

That said, there is precedent for huge popularity differences being overcome, and I'm going with my dark-horse once again this week. Match of the Night, I'm calling it now.

Tori's Pick: Robbie Maynard

Johnny Triumph (3-1, 21%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-1, 15%)

(Career Series: First Meeting)

Now this is intriguing. Kerghan's been on a tear this season, while Triumph is coming off knocking off the heretofore undefeated Scott Stevens. Both men have momentum, but I'm banking on the experience of Triumph to be the trump card.

Tori's Pick: Johnny Triumph

Tarik Nolan (1-3, 20%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-1, 18%)

(Career Series: Tarik Nolan, 1 - 0)

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I think Stevens will be mentally off his game after being forced to tap out to the League Champion last week, and Tarik will take advantage with a much needed win.

Tori's Pick: Tarik Nolan

Canada will continue to play host next week, as we head just a bit west to Quebec. But until then, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)

Robbie Maynard (3-1, 11%) vs. SGRaaize (1-3, 23%)

Johnny Triumph (3-1, 21%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-1, 15%)

Tarik Nolan (1-3, 20%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-1, 18%)

CURRENT PREDICTIONS DEADLINE: MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2011 AT 8:00 PM EDT / TUESDAY, 29 MARCH AT 00:00 GMT

Also, I will be posting a question shortly in the Discussion thread regarding a possible rules change based off of what I've observed.

Derek B · March 23, 2011

w00t! Nuclear is on a roll just now, just gotta keep taking each match as it comes and try to go undefeated forever and ever and ever and ever from now on. That said... if he is to actually beat last season's record for staying unbeaten Nuclear would have to win a bunch of matches leading up to a cage match with Sean... I can already see that being an awesome match, no matter what state Nuclear's winning streak is in by then.

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)

Robbie Maynard (3-1, 11%) vs. SGRaaize (1-3, 23%)

Johnny Triumph (3-1, 21%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-1, 15%)

Tarik Nolan (1-3, 20%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-1, 18%)

Scorpion has sent me a message letting you know he is happy with this since now he can dispose of you both once and for all.

In case it needs to be said, Triumph accepts.

ShadowedFlames · March 28, 2011

In case it needs to be said, Triumph accepts.

And with that, the field of eight teams is set. If things work in my favor tomorrow (trial by fire of learning new job duties, woo-hoo!), there might be a spot in the beginning of this thread somewhere that will have the brackets for the tournament posted when the show gets posted as well.

Speaking of, I'm about to run said show. If it doesn't take too long to run all the matches, I'll try to get teasers up before my self-enforced early bedtime tonight.

ShadowedFlames · March 28, 2011

And with the show run, here's what to look for tomorrow night....

WEEK FIVE TEASERS

First off, blood was spilled in a match other than the First Blood match.
The Match of the Night is the only match to exceed twenty minutes and in which both participants seemed reluctant to use finishers.
One person was absolutely robbed of a win thanks to an untimely ref bump.
This was truly a "feast or famine" card, as half the matches were F rated...the other half were A or A* rated.

Details coming tomorrow night, when the show airs!

Jman2k3 · March 28, 2011

[*]One person was absolutely robbed of a win thanks to an untimely ref bump.

I'm guessing that was me.

Prophet · March 28, 2011

I'm guessing that was me.

If something bizarre happens, more often than not, it seems to be Maxx.

Jman2k3 · March 28, 2011

If something bizarre happens, more often than not, it seems to be Maxx.

I'm thinking it was him after me.

Also, I'm thinking El Demonio de Sangre was busted open.

More importantly where is my Flogg report???????????

Prophet · March 28, 2011

I'm thinking it was him after me.

Also, I'm thinking El Demonio de Sangre was busted open.

More importantly where is my Flogg report???????????

Either way, it's bound to be one of us! lol

And ask, and ye shall recieve ... it's a bit shorter, and I'm still not thrilled, but it's better than some of the earlier drafts I did. Struggled with keeping the ending PG.

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/fyreclaw/Renders/FloggSplash.jpg

[The Flogg Splash's traditional opening plays, as Johnny Triumph's theme blares over the substandard graphics. As the image fades away, though, we're greeted by a new setting. Instead of Flogg's dorm room, we're greeted by hundreds of people mulling around a vacant warehouse. Some are dressed as their favorite science fiction characters, including a heavily obese man, wearing a silver sparkled storm trooper helmet, who lumbers, and collapses through a small cubicle wall, disrupting the booth dedicated to Space Battles, a movie franchise that had three classic films in the 1970's, yet tried to reboot the series in the late 1990's to less than stellar reviews, due to pedantic storylines, and the introduction of the single most annoying character to ever be seen on film, Jim Jam Bankeroo.]

[The image switches from the chaos, to a small booth with a large video screen. Our favorite blogger is recognized, his back to the camera, as he mashes buttons on a handheld controller. The screen reveals the League: the Video Game, and on the screen, Johnny Triumph is abusing Maxx Skabb, beating him from pillar to post, usually using cheap moves when Maxx is trying to rise to his feet. Finally, a groggy avatar of the psychotic convict rises to his feet, only to be met with a low blow, crumpling to the ground, and into the Horns of Victory. After Maxx taps out, Flogg drops his controller, and begins taunting his opponent, using less than family friendly language, causing the seven year old boy to run off crying. With a final point and laugh, Flogg turns to his camera, a giant smile on his face as he does.]

Flogg: Hello floggers and bloggers, and welcome to the newest installment of the Flogg Splash! As always, I am your presenter, denter and renter, well within the center, that all women want to … take home … Joshua Flogg! And we have a jammed pack version of the Splash today. First, you may have noticed I'm on the road. That's right, I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at Nerdapalooza 2011, where they have officially released the first version of “The League: The Game” … and it is spectacular! And who would've doubted, with the greatest champion in the history of ever … EVER … dominating the virtual League, just like he does in the real one? You may have also noticed I'm not on my laptop this week … since my incident last week, I've switched to a handheld camera, which can be uploaded. So I'd like to present my cameraman Thomas “Twitchy” Willinger. Say hi Twitchy!

[The cameraman spins the camera around to reveal a blond gentleman with Einstein hair. He has a geeky half smile, with thin lips that slightly obscure the giant braces concealed underneath, and coke lens glasses. As he raises his hand to wave towards the camera, his head involuntarily twitches to the left, a violent jerk that skewers his glasses, and seems to shut down all thoughts he has at the moment.]

Flogg: Twitchy got his name after he touched an electric fence on a dare. Poor kid wet himself when he touched it, making the whole thing worse. Anyway, it's time for us to jump into the deep end of the rumor pool … and we have no graphics for this. It's time for Splash Down! First things first … apparently the tag team turmoil has been set. Johnny Triumph is teaming with newcomer Ian Carlisle, and from what I've been told … is already in the finals of the tournament. According to a League source, it's a given that Triumph is going to win, so why waste everybody's time and ruin the morale of a perfectly acceptable, albeit nowhere near as talented as Triumph, roster. And I say good call, League. About time you treated the champion with the respect he deserves!

Another rumor rumbling around has to do with the managers of the League. Someone close to the situation has informed me that there's a lot of controversy, due to the limited interaction these women have at ringside, and while some fans are a bit upset by this turnaround, this source has told me that it is, in fact, by design. He said, quote, “if these women get involved in matches, it's going to cause a rush of managers, including fans who follow the show applying for licenses. And we can't every yahoo who knows about the League be a part of our show, can we?” I'm sure he had more to say, but security escorted me away from his car at the drive thru for my own safety.

Nuclear Templeton's name has also sprung up in the rumor mill. The last clean record in the League, I've heard his name popped up on the performance enhancing list. Unfortunately, it couldn't be proven, as the mandatory drug test only screens for known PEDs, and not for the unconventional treatment has undergone, where he pumps pure Uranium 235 into his blood stream. He is, however, the only member of the League who has to urinate into a lead cup.

Our final rumor this week involves one Tori Montgomery. After her abysmal predicting a few weeks ago, she has rebounded strong, including one week where she went perfect. I have been told by a source close to the situation that this is no accident. Apparently Miss Montgomery has become very close with senior League referee Mike Cohan, and for a small sum of money, she's been fixing matches. This source says it's an obviously petty attempt to ruin his luck at the Off League Betting, however, Mr. Garnett asked I not mention him by name in my report.

Oops …

[Flogg drops his head for a moment, sheltering his eyes under his Beiber bangs, before shaking off his error.]

Flogg: I'll fix that later. Anyway, it's time for our Flogg-Sclusive, and this week is going to be an entirely new experience. For this week, our interview will happen here … at Nerdapalooza! That's right, a member of the League is right here … now I just need to find him.

[As Flogg goes off in search of this mystery man, the camera pans to a sign that reads “Come meet the League's resident super hero, Super Century!” It then pans to a table, where Century sits, in full costume, taking a picture with the seven year old who Flogg made cry earlier in the day. The camera pans back to Flogg, who continues to scour the crowd, seeking the mysterious super hero. Finally, Flogg stops at a gentleman in a suit and tie, who seems to be representing a big time corporation.]

Flogg: A-ha, thought you could hide from me, did you? Well, your alter ego is shoddy, and it's quite obvious you're the masked hero of the League. So why not cut out the charade, so we can do a Flogg-sclusive!

[The man in the suit looks at Flogg quizzically for a moment, before turning a shoulder to walk away. Flogg, however, won't take no for an answer, and jumps in front of the well dressed gentleman, before pulling a jar of peanut butter from a small shoulder bag.]

Flogg: That's right, Super Century … I know your weakness. Recoil at the chunky power of peanut butter!

[The suited man sighs heavily, before turning a shoulder once more. He doesn't move this time, however, instead pulling a cell phone from his jacket pocket. Meanwhile, across the way, Century leads his legions of fans, mostly kids idolizing their doer of good deeds, in a chant of his name. As the rallying cry of “Century, Century, Century” rings through the warehouse, Flogg stands undaunted in front of his mistaken target. After a few moments, two large men in black t-shirts approach Flogg and Twitchy, pushing them back as the gentleman in the suit passes. After the obligatory threat of never approaching Mr. Satchel, organizer of the event, again, the smaller of the two brutes steals Flogg's peanut butter, before unscrewing the top, and digging his fingers in. As the burly men walk away, a defeated Flogg turns back to the camera, never aware that his target was a mere fifty feet away.]

Flogg: I apologize Floggers, but it seems that Mr. Century is so committed to his gimmick, that he's hired personal security. Seems silly to pose as the guy who runs Nerdapalooza, though. Anyway, it's time for …

[Flogg loses his train of thought, as someone walks past, dressed as Japanese anime character, and for some, sexual desire, Sailor Moon. The figure wears a large plush head, with blond pigtails, and a school girl outfit that might make Ron Jeremy blush. The figure looks Flogg over, and after a slightly effeminate giggle, beckons Flogg over. Immediately, our favorite blogger reverts to his more carnal, perverse form, and follows the character, who swoops him up in “her” arms. It's much easier to tell that this Sailor Moon is, in fact, a six foot six man, who may dwarf half of the League's roster. Easier to tell to everyone whose name isn't the marquee of a wrestling video blog, that is. As Sailor Moon carries Flogg off to who knows where, Twitchy spins the camera back to himself, still with that geeky half smile. Without a word, he waves to the camera once more, before spotting a gentleman dressed as vile Space Battles character Jim Jam Bankeroo. Twitchy squeals, and quickly hits the little red button, shutting down this edition of the Splash.]

Got to love Flogg and his misadventures.

Got to love Flogg and his misadventures.

Poor Flogg, so lovable, so naive. I had small clips of ideas that I wanted to use, but it wasn't until Nerdapalooza that it all made sense together. Now I just gotta hope that IER doesn't beat Flogg up for Jim Jam Bankeroo.

Season Three, Week Five

Toronto, Ontario

March 28, 2011

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: SEASON THREE, WEEK FIVE

A crowd of 16,062 greet the cameras as the show goes live, their cheers nearly drowning out the obligatory pyro that signals the show's start. As the explosions die down, the camera catches a number of signs in its view, the majority of which are showing support for SGRaaize, a mixed reaction for Sean, and quite a few linking Johnny Triumph to a now-defunct Winnipeg NHL club.

Apparently, Toronto loves hockey. Who knew?

In any event, we quickly head to ringside and our usual announce team.

Bob Sinclair: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the fifth week of The League! Bob Sinclair, here at ringside along with the usual suspects—Frankie Garnett and Tori Montgomery. Tonight, Nuclear Templeton looks to go to a perfect 5-0 record, Sebastian Moore looks to get his first win, and someone is going to bleed tonight!

Frankie Garnett: Frankly, I don't care who bleeds in our opening match. It would be fitting for them to bust each other open simultaneously and deny both of them the win.

Tori Montgomery: Personally, I'm looking forward to our pre-main event, with a pair of 3-1 records facing off against each other. That one is going to be one I keep an eye on.

Frankie Garnett: I'm watching all of the matches, honestly. I don't trust the referees, especially after you went perfect a couple of weeks back, Tori.

Tori Montgomery: So you're not denying that you talked to Kermit?

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)

Frankie Garnett: ...Who?

Bob Sinclair: In any event, we're starting off tonight's festivities with a promise of blood to be spilled. Let's go to the resident voice of The League, Amelia Williams, to get us started tonight!

Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, the opening contest of Week Five is a First Blood match! The first participant who makes their opponent bleed wins the match!

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: Introducing first, from the Halls of Justice, weighing 205 pounds...Super Century!

Bob Sinclair: I'm not sure I like Century's chances in this match.

Tori Montgomery: A lot of people agree with you, Bob. Century is nearly a 7-1 underdog coming into this match.

Frankie Garnett: It would have been 10-1, but I've got a thousand on Century.

Bob Sinclair: Frankie, I thought you didn't like Super Century.

Frankie Garnett: Lesser of two evils by about a ton.

Bob Sinclair: ....

Amelia Williams: His opponent , being accompanied to the ring by Te'Snilo Bradenbury, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds...this is The Phoenix!

Bob Sinclair: One thing I'm sure that people are forgetting is the amount of punishment that Phoenix took to the head last week, courtesy of Thor Hammerskald. You know that's going to be the primary target of Century tonight.

Frankie Garnett: If Century's smart enough to realize that, anyway.

Tori Montgomery: Century's smarter than you give him credit for, Frankie. Remember that he's teaming with your buddy in three weeks.

Frankie Garnett: Guess the kid's not a total waste....

Tori Montgomery: Wait, so the superhero uses a closed fist to draw blood? What kind of hero is he, Batman?

Frankie Garnett: Anything to win, Tori! And that's seven grand for me!

Bob Sinclair: This has to be considered a minor upset, folks, as Century improves to 3-2 and remains in the Alpha Division hunt. As for Phoenix, who is now 1-4 after starting last season undefeated to this point, one has to wonder if it was a mistake in bringing his wife to the ring to be his manager.

Frankie Garnett: Anything he does is a mistake, Bob! That's the Second League Commandment!

Tori Montgomery: Frankie, when are you going to just stop making these commandments up?

Frankie Garnett: Who says I'm making them up?

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)

Tori Montgomery: There's no ay they're real.

Bob Sinclair: Save the argument for later, you two. Our next match is even more of a lopsided line than the first one.

Tori Montgomery: No kidding, Bob. Ian Carlisle comes in as a 13-1 underdog, while Templeton is only paying back eight cents to the dollar if those betting on him win. It's not often that such a one-sided opinion appears.

Frankie Garnett: It's so bad that I couldn't even put money on this match. The longshot is too long, and there's no return to be made on the favorite. Not worth it.

Bob Sinclair: With that, let's go to Amelia, who is already in the ring.

No music heralds the arrival of one of this season's rookies, as he makes his way to the ring without trying to let any emotions become visible on his face.

Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Blackpool, England, weighing 222 pounds...Ian Carlisle!

Bob Sinclair: Carlisle's lone win this season came at the hands of the defending League Champion. Can lightning strike twice and take down another big name?

Frankie Garnett: In a word? No.

Tori Montgomery: I hate to say it, but I'm with Frankie on this one. If Carlisle pulls out the victory I will be stunned.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds, he is The League's lone remaining undefeated wrestler...Nuclear Templeton!

Tori Montgomery: Man, Templeton looks focused tonight, guys.

Bob Sinclair: He always looks this focused.

Frankie Garnett: Focused? I thought he ate something that disagreed with him....

Bob Sinclair: And the longest streak record remains intact, as Carlisle just upset the heretofore unbeaten Nuclear Templeton!

Tori Montgomery: Carlisle may want to vacate the ringside area. I think Nuclear's going to go off on the kid.

Frankie Garnett: Tori, did you have to bring up that topic already?

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)

Tori Montgomery: Which topic? I don't...oh.

Bob Sinclair: Frankie, it's a figure of speech. No need to make it taboo.

Frankie Garnett: Sure, and just ruin The League's ratings in Japan, why don't you?

Bob Sinclair: ....

Thor Hammerskald

Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald!

Bob Sinclair: Hammerskald's had a better start to his sophomore season, as this time last season he was only 1-3. A win here puts him one shy of matching last season's total.

Tori Montgomery: I'm not doubting he can do it, but I'm not sure if this is his night.

Frankie Garnett: Of course it's his night. Look at the size difference! This is going to be a walk in the park!

Amelia Williams: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond!

Tori Montgomery: Ever since picking up a new finisher, which I've been told has been renamed the 24 Carat Kiss, Diamond is undefeated in two weeks. It will be interesting to see if she can get the momentum needed to put Hammerskald down with that move.

Frankie Garnett: Again, look at the size difference! No way that's happening!

Bob Sinclair: The popular opinion disagrees, Frankie. Diamond was picked by more than three-quarters of the visitors to The League's website. A lot of people are putting faith in her finisher.

Frankie Garnett: Try kissing him, Jayde, that might work!

Tori Montgomery: I think the ref's still a bit groggy; that count seemed a little slow to me.

Frankie Garnett: You would think that, Tori! The count's fine!

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of fifteen minutes and ten seconds...Thor Hammerskald!

Bob Sinclair: Hammerskald improves to 3-2 on the season, but one has to think that there's a bit of controversy behind this match.

Tori Montgomery: Controversy? Diamond was robbed, plain and simple! Hammerskald threw her into the ref, knowing what was coming, and assuring himself that he could not be counted down for the pin when the inevitable came!

Frankie Garnett: And you call me biased....

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)

Tori Montgomery: Just zip it, Frankie.

Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 230 pounds...Sean!

Bob Sinclair: Sean shows no signs of slowing down, looking to be an early favorite to lock up his third consecutive playoff position.

Frankie Garnett: He's still my pick to win it all.

Tori Montgomery: And what would Scott Stevens say to that?

Frankie Garnett: Erm....

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Tijuana, Mexico, weighing 142 pounds...he is El Demonio de Sangre!

Bob Sinclair: Demonio has come close to winning a few times this season, but he just can't find the missing piece of the puzzle to put his opponents away.

Tori Montgomery: He may want to take a page from Diamond's book. She got a finisher that was not based off the top rope, and look at the turnaround.

Frankie Garnett: Including getting the short end of the stick tonight.

Tori Montgomery: I can hear the smugness in your voice, Frankie. Enough.

This Could Be It!

3!

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of six and a half minutes...Sean!

Bob Sinclair: And Sean decides to not use his finisher this week; either that or Demonio landed wrong enough to have the wind driven from his body.

Tori Montgomery: I think it was the latter, Bob. Demonio still looks to be in decent shape, especially given the fact that he's kicking the ropes in frustration.

Frankie Garnett: More like he's kicking the ropes because he knows he can't kick anyone else's butt.

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)

Bob Sinclair: Only you, Frankie....

Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from the Orange County Correctional Facility, weighing 289 pounds...Maxx Skabb!

Bob Sinclair: Skabb is still looking for his breakout season; after last season nothing short of a playoff run will satisfy him.

Tori Montgomery: I think that's an understatement. He was so close last season, I'm thinking that if he doesn't make it this time he's going to violate his parole.

Frankie Garnett: By doing what, Tori?

Tori Montgomery: Let's just say that you wouldn't want to be in the same room with him, Frankie. Just make sure you keep a death grip on anything you hold.

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

Bob Sinclair: I think it's safe to say that after last season, Moore is one of this season's biggest disappointments.

Frankie Garnett: Understatement much? I expected him to at least be 2-2 at this point!

Tori Montgomery: The sophomore jinx has struck and struck very hard, it seems. Maybe this is the week he turns it around.

Amelia Williams: This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Liverpool, England, weighing 251 pounds...Robbie Maynard!

Bob Sinclair: Tori, you've said from the outset that this is your pick for the season. Why did you pick him?

Tori Montgomery: I thought he was due. He put in a lot of effort in the off-season, and I thought he looked ready to make a deep run this season.

Frankie Garnett: Are you sure it didn't involve a few portraits of Ben Franklin passed around?

Tori Montgomery: Frankie, unless you want to get your butt kicked by a woman, I suggest you shut up right now.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Torres Vedras, Portugal, weighing 231 pounds...SGRaaize!

Bob Sinclair: Raaize has yet to find that one big push to break into the upper echelon of The League; a win here would certainly help him in that regard.

Frankie Garnett: Or it will just be a fluke and he'll fade into obscurity, one of the two.

Bob Sinclair: ...

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. Out from the back emerges "The Venomous One" wearing a replica of The League's World Championship around his waist and the man in question walks to the ring, talking trash the whole way while showing off his title belt.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Houston, Texas, weighing 265 pounds...He is "The League's Real World's Heavyweight Champion"... "The Scorpion" Scott Stevens!

Tori Montgomery: I guess he didn't learn his lesson last week. He's still going to try to play up the "dethroned champion" gimmick?

Bob Sinclair: Apparently so, Tori.
