EPISODE #545

 

AUGUST 2020, WEEK 1…

 

On Commentary:

 

 

Doug Vallence and Rebecca Richey

Contract Signing In The Boardroom

 

At Montgomery Croft's office block, we were in the Boardroom, with representatives from Croft Enterprises and The Goode Brothers in a pre-taped video...

 

 

Montgomery Croft:

“Look... We all know why we're here... At the 550th Episode of Attitude!, 'Big Mac' Nathan McKenzie versus 'The Richest Man In RAW', Montgomery Croft... We've both studied the contract... We've both agreed to the stipulations etc... If I win, I can reveal the other secret I have about the Goode Brothers... and you boys will come to work for me for the rest of Season 11... If you win... I can NOT reveal your secret, and if I do, I have to give each of you $1,000,000!! Are we all in agreement...?!”

 

Everyone in the room nodded, including Croft's team of lawyers... David from last week was nowhere to be seen though...

 

Montgomery Croft:

“Before I sign this 'Big Mac'... We were wonderin'... Dumfrey Pinn here is yet to make his RAW debut... How about you have a little tune up match with the big 360lber...?! I can't promised you'll come out of it unscathed... this is a BIG, strong, man...!!”

 

Nathan McKenzie:

“Croft... If it helps you sign the contract, I'll happily fight Pinn next week!! A 'Dream Match' for years when we were in other companies... The reason it didn't happen before, is because everyone knew what the outcome would be!! 'Big Mac', steamrolling Dumfrey Pinn!!”

 

Croft smiled, and signed... McKenzie smiled more, and signed too... The match was on... Nathan McKenzie versus Montgomery Croft... 1 on 1 at the 550th Episode of Attitude!! But first, McKenzie versus Pinn next week!!

A great way to kick off the Tournament here, with two of RAW's rising stars doing battle. No one on the RAW roster is more athletically gifted than Isaac, and he showed off his stamina levels, quickness, and flexibility in this one. He avoided a lot of Lynx's power based offence, and was even able to dodge some of the quick strikes the 'Pretty Boy' is used to. However, he fell victim to a DDT late on, and Lynx kept hold of his head, turning it into an 'Inverted Sleeper' to get the win by submission!

 

65

Winner:

'Pretty Boy' Lynx w/ Autumn Gleeson

Finish:

'Inverted Sleeper'

Congratulations

 

Backstage, Heath Murdock of the Ridgy Didge Ravers was walking, when he bumped into Kian Wayne, the winner of last weeks Tag Team Title Battle Royale... Kian was excellent throughout the match, despite recently recovering from an injury caused by Joss Thompson in the six-man tag Parking Lot Brawl some weeks ago... But Heath and Kian were the last two, and they put on a great show to fight to the end...

 

 

Heath Murdock:

“Fair play on your win last week Kian... I thought you were excellent out there, and thoroughly deserved the win, mate... Given any thought on who you're gonna partner up with? I guess it'll be Kal or Kerry (Wayne) right...?? Well... Consider this... What if you picked someone outside the box...?? Someone nobody saw comin'... like, Swoop McCarthy... Or, better yet, the undefeated RAW TV Champ: Blake Belushi... How funny would that be?!”

 

Kian Wayne:

“Yeah, I mean... I'm not rulin' anything out yet... But... I'll go to the ring to announce my decision a little later tonight... So you'll find out when everybody else does...”

Un-Friended

 

Working out at a Goldcoast Gym, we found 'Unbreakable' Luke Steele getting a sweat on... He was a little out of breathe as he spoke too...

 

 

Luke Steele:

“I... Am SICK... Of... Rahmel, Goode... Taking time on TV from younger guys... You're over 40 years old brother... Ya needs to retire already...!! So next week... I'm gonna go to that ring... and fight my old partner... 1 on 1... Man to man... Don't bring your Half-Brother Nathan McKenzie... I'll beat ya, and send you off to a comfortable retirement home...”

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";">

 

Nobody expected Thompson to lose this one. He's a huge star all around the world, but unfortunately he came up against a very large man in Manhunter. The 365lb beast of Croft Enterprises stunned the crowd when he hit his 'Big Foot' and the referee counted to three!

 

59

Winner:

Manhunter w/ Dumfrey Pinn

Finish:

'Big Foot' (Big Boot)

Cupid's Chokehold

 

We saw video replays of the Swoop McCarthy versus Frogue Element match from last week, in which Frogue used an illegal choke to stop 'The Alpha Dog'... Back live, Frogue was stood being interviewed by Marvin McKenzie (no relation)...

 

 

Frogue Element:

“Before you ask me Marvin... Everyone thinks that the Choke is the only way I can beat Swoop... By cheating...?? That's not true... it's not... it's NOT... It's NOT TRUE MARVIN!!”

 

Frogue began clobbering the interviewer in the chest,and face, until he fell to the floor and covered up... Frogue looked like a Gorilla, throwing fists and clubbing forearms... Once McKenzie was down on the ground, Frogue began hitting

himself

in the face!! Swoop will be back next week, and he's certain to want revenge on Frogue for using the hold, and for beating him...

Protege and Mentor

 

Last week, Captain Wrestling II failed in his attempt at winning the RAW TV Title against Blake Belushi... The blame for the loss could be laid at the feet of Will Beaumont, Captain's protege, who lost his cool at ringside, and tried to get to Blake after Blake hit him!! Tonight, in the locker room, Beaumont was apologising to his mentor...

 

 

Captain Wrestling II:

“Honestly mate, it's not your fault... I was distracted, and I got caught by the 'Axe Kick', but I kicked out of the pin!! It took a second one, right...?? It wasn't the one you were involved in that put me down... So don't blame yourself... Tonight... Tonight is about you... It's YOUR time now... So go win that Tournament,and then YOU'LL be the next in line for a shot at Blake!!”

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";">

 

Kal and Kian Wayne were instrumental at ringside in this one, causing the distraction to the referee at the necessary time, and allowing Kerry to use his 'Fingernail Of Doom' on Stantz! He scratched Stantz's eye and then dragged him down for a vicious DDT to finish it!

 

69

Winner:

Kerry Wayne w/ Kal & Kian Wayne

Finish:

'DDT'

Kian To Pick Someone Different

 

Kian Wayne grabbed a microphone following his Brother's win, because he wanted to announce his pick as a partner for a future Tag Team Title shot!!

 

 

Kian Wayne:

“Everyone expects me to pick Kal as my partner... Or if I wanted to mix it up a bit... maybe Kerry... Two GREAT wrestlers, who I'm confident I'd win the Tag Team Titles with again... But this... This is a once in a lifetime opportunity... When else would I get the chance to choose ANY partner, to challenge for the RAW Tag Team Titles...?! I mean... I could pick anyone... I could pick Doug Vallence...!! I hear he's after a new partner himself... I could pick Jack Bruce... Bring him out of retirement, ey...?? Swoop McCarthy... Blake Belushi... Tombstone... Manhunter... ANYONE!!”

 

Kian measured his words for a moment... Kery and Kal wanted him to name one of his two brothers, but he seemed conflicted...

 

Kian Wayne:

“Okay... This name is gonna shock EVERYONE... He's someone I think I can rely on... someone with, pedigree... Someone that's gonna move the needle... So I choose... KAL WAYNE!!”

 

All three Wayne Brothers fell about laughing, believing they'd strung everyone along... But it will be Kian and Kal that get a future Tag Title shot against Echo and Nicky Gilbert...

The Bogan Bus 2.0

 

We cut to a pre-taped video segment next, which was almost like an episode of Cribs... The Boy Band LiberTeen were on camera, with their manager Raymond Royce holding the keys to the NEW Bogan Bus... An extremely large and expensive RV they bought from a suspicious looking Salesman...

 

 

CJ, Frankie, George and Tye stood alongside the Bogan Bus 2.0, and then Tye ran to the camera and picked it up... It was time for a Tour!!

 

 

The Bus is an epic piece of equipment, and it's crazy that a group of guys like LiberTeen and Raymond Royce could afford such a vehicle... But after showing us some of the RV, LiberTeen issued a challenge... To the Ridgy-Didge Ravers!! Asking them to meet them in the ring on Attitude! next week!!

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";">

 

Beaumont and Lachlan are the future stars of RAW, and they gave each other a lot of respect here. In the end, Brodie missed a spinning back elbow, and got caught with a German Suplex. The Croft Enterprises member was groggy from the landing, and he staggered about, allowing Beaumont to follow it up with a 'Rocker Dropper'!

 

65

Winner:

'Sensational' Will Beaumont

Finish:

'Rocker Dropper'

Champ, Champs, Champ

 

RAW TV Champion Blake Belushi was backstage next, openly mocking the RAW Tag Team Champions Nicky Gilbert and Echo in front of some RAW employees... Calling them a fake team... Gilbert and Echo walked up upon hearing Belushi's comments...

 

 

Nicky Gilbert:

“G'Day Blake... On yer bike mate... You know the pedigree of both Echo and I... I'm the first ever five-time Tag Team Champion here... and Echo's the first and only 4-time Quest Champion...”

 

As part of the Melbourne Blondes and the Next Big Things, Belushi and Gilbert know each other very well... But Belushi reminded Gilbert that neither of their teams EVER took a Title from the other...

 

Blake Belushi:

“Maybe I should change that...?! Maybe this guy could be my partner and we take the Titles from you two...”

 

 

Tombstone, who has a win/loss record of 14 and 0 in 2020... Bettered only by Blake Belushi at 17 and 0...!!

 

Echo:

“Tell ya what... We'll put our Titles on the line against the two of you... IF... You put YOUR Titles on the line in the same match...?! How about that...?!”

 

Tombstone:

“Sounds good...”

 

Blake Belushi:

“HOLD ON... This... Wait a second... This escalated a little quickly here... HOLD on... We'll have a tag match... Tombstone and Belushi against Echo and Gilbert... But we don't need to put any Titles on the line... We're the Champ... The Champs... and the Champ... That match, doesn't NEED Titles on the line to be the biggest Main Event in RAW Attitude history!!”

 

Next week... It is going to happen!!

Surfer Dudes

 

Next up, we saw another promo video for the new tag team coming soon to RAW called 'The Killer Waves'...

 

 

Pope (Surfer Dude Lucas) and Tazz (Jesse Tasmen) were supposed to debut back at the Tag Team Tournament on Night One after Jack Bruce himself endorsed the duo... However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they, along with their scheduled opponents, were delayed and could not make the show on time... Since then, they haven't been heard from...

 

But we've been getting video packages for weeks now, and this video explained that they will debut NEXT WEEK on RAW... and this time, there will be NO further delays...

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";">

 

Lynx is a great competitor, but it was virtually impossible for him to manoeuvrer the large Manhunter around the ring. He hit some vicious knee strikes but in the end was kicked in the face and nearly lost his head!! Manhunter is through to the Finals!!

 

61

Winner:

Manhunter

Finish:

'Big Foot' (Big Boot)

Be Careful What You Wish For

 

Loxley Robbins was in the office of Jack Bruce next, stomping back and forth, and spewing about two men he can't stand!

 

 

Loxley Robbins:

“I want Maurice Jackson!! I want Louie Louis!! I want them BOTH... TONIGHT!!”

 

Jack Bruce:

“Loxley... We're in the middle of a Tournament bro... So I won't make that match... But I'll tell you what I WILL do... Next week... You can fight Louie Louis 1 on 1... and Maurice Jackson... Can be the Special Guest Referee!!”

 

</div>

 

 

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";">

 

Beaumont and Wayne are former friends, and this match was essentially student versus teacher! Wayne was cocky throughout, and didn't take Beaumont seriously enough. In the end, that arrogance would cost the veteran 'Mr. Australia'. Beaumont would focus his offence on Wayne's mid-section, and when Wayne was doubled over in pain late on, young Beaumont was able to hit the 'Rocker Dropper' and secure his place in the Finals against Manhunter!

 

61

Winner:

'Sensational' Will Beaumont

Finish:

'Rocker Dropper'

Brittini In Trouble

 

We saw a video next, recorded in the style of a selfie, on a mobile phone... Featuring Croft Enterprises member Brittini Burke...

 

 

With tears in her eyes, Burke spoke to the camera about her experience as Manhunter's 'manager' since they joined Montgomery Croft's group...

 

Brittini Burke:

“They're uh... They're treating me okay... I mean... Nobody has tried to hurt me... Nobody has, forced me to do anything I don't want to... Except... They're not letting me leave!! I've been given an office at Croft HQ... A few doors down from the Boardroom... and I sleep there... I have a wardrobe... some entertainment... and an en-suite bathroom... But I just wanna go home...”

 

The tears began running down Burke's face, but a knock at the door made her leap almost out of her seat!! She cancelled the video quickly, and wiped the tears away!!

W.O.E for Sullivan and Wills

 

Next up, we learned of a match coming next week... Rod Sullivan and Matty Wills, taking on the members of Mac Guffin's team: W.O.E...!!

 

 

Alexander Banks and Dastardly Damian White (Weaponeering Of Enmity) are currently undefeated as a team on RAW... But Sullivan and Wills are not to be taken lightly by the new duo... Sullivan is a former four-time RAW Tag Team Champion... and Wills himself has had recent Quest Title shots...!!

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #22519c; margin:10px;background: #fafbff; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";">

 

Will Beaumont has had it all to deal with tonight. First, he beat a fellow young prospect in Brodie Lachlan in a very competitive match. Then, his former mentor Kerry Wayne stood between him and a place in the Finals. Wayne got cocky, and Beaumont capitalised. Now, he was up against a monster in Manhunter – the second Croft Enterprises member across the ring from him. Manhunter dominated proceedings in this match, just like he had in his First Round and Semi Final Matches. However, Beaumont just wouldn't stay down. He kicked out of everything, and ducked the 'Big Foot' (Big Boot) a total of three times, angering the giant beast that he was fighting. On the third Foot avoidance, Manhunter got angry. So angry that he pulled the turnbuckle pad off in one of the corners, and threw it at the referee, earning a stern warning from the official. When he turned around, Beaumont ducked a lariat, and dropkicked the monster in the back, sending him face first into the exposed buckle! Beaumont rolled him up, and he powered out at one, but the Sensational youngster delivered a knee to his opponent's chest! He then hopped up to the top rope, and landed a 'Sensational Splash'!! Somehow, some way, Beaumont had enough body weight on top of Manhunter's shoulders to keep him down for three!!

 

64

Winner:

'Sensational' Will Beaumont

Finish:

'Sensational Splash'

</div>

Captain Endorsed Victory

 

After the match, while Will Beaumont was having his hand raised, a familiar entrance music hit... His current mentor Captain Wrestling II arrived to a big ovation, and he stomped to the ring...

 

 

Captain Wrestling II was the most recent man to receive a RAW TV Title shot, and the announce team suggested that he might be angry that his protege Will Beaumont is the next in line... That couldn't be further from the truth though, because he instantly embraced Will... His big arms wrapping around the youngster's shoulders... He then raised Will's hand, and the two fan favourites smiled as the show went off the air!!

Well hopefully you can come back to it, but honestly although there are many irons in the fire in terms of the diary Will Beaumont winning his biggest match of the year and a tournament to move him into the Main title hunt is bitter sweet ending in many ways.
