JWA Glory Episode 168 - World Tag Team Championship Match

[Seph Kobane]

Seph barrels in and barges right into Duke's chest. The bigger man is unmoving and grips the greasy grunger by his lank hair. Seph swats his hand away and jumps up, hitting a headbutt right to Mongoose's forehead, knocking both for six.

Seph, suddenly feeling the hot trickle of a bleeding bump on his temple, turns terrified to Brad, who is heaving lungfuls on the apron. Brad nods, slowly drags himself to his feet and-

Duke has Seph again. A whip into the corner and a resounding crack followed by a familiar slapping sound.

Or is it a flapping sound?

Penguino has been tagged in. He defeated Seph last time they faced. He is going to make sure it happens again.

...

It doesn't look good for Rogers, the numbers alone are enough to get the advantage despite Rogers calling the shot.

In the aisle, Bullingham laughs boisterously as his minions beat down Rogers.

LERAY: "This was timed to perfection obviously, with Red's long-time partner Arizona being away."

BEEMAN: "Rogers is alone, this is perfect...wait, make that even more perfect!!"

As the beat-down continues, Mozart's "Overture from the Marriage of Figaro" hits and Augustine's laugh gets even more boisterous!  "Lord" Taylor Thorin walks out, Tembleberry at his side.  Thorin is looking back to his best, dressed in all his finary.  He looks towards Bullingham who twiddles his mustache and nods to Thorin.

BULLINGHAM: "Go reclaim what is yours Lord Thorin!  End the Pirate Menace!!"

Thorin heads to the ring while the crew in the ring tie Rogers up in the ropes.  Thorin nods to Tembleberry who grabs a couple of chairs from ringside.  Tembleberry gets in the ring and hands one to Thorin.

BEEMAN: "Yes hahahaha they're going to cave in his skull!!  So long Pirate Dweeb!!!"

Thorin and Tembleberry line up either side of Rogers and cock back before swinging...in the direction of Rogers' mutinous crew!!!!!  The crowd erupt as steel meets flesh.  Bullingham on the outside is agast!  Thorin frees Rogers from the ropes and hands him his chair, before reaching into his pocket and donning some brass knux!  The tide has turned as Rogers, Thorin and Tembleberry clear the ring...sending the EITC minions scurrying up the ramp past an irate Bullingham.

Rogers turns to Thorin with a sly grin on his face, the two meet in the ring and shake hands while Tembleberry stands guard as the slowest security team in the world finally make it out to usher the EITC away.

LERAY: "What a turn of events here!!!"

BEEMAN: "That no good stinky pirate!!"

[Chad Shredsbury]

Toni Cruise stands by with Chad Shredsbury, open shirted, sunglass sporting and, of course, holding the J1 trophy.

Toni. Ladies and gentlemen I am joined at this time by J1 Pinnacle winner Chad Shredsbury. Chad… congratulations again on your success in the tournament, but… after your interview with Hones Sal earlier this week… what did you have to add that you requested time with me here tonight?

Chad. It’s Glory, Toni. And the hottest man in the JWA deserves a little face time don’t you think?

Toni. I suppose so.

Chad. So you admit that I’m the hottest man in the JWA then?

Toni. I didn’t… I mean…

Chad. Both in the ring. And out. Yea, it’s ok. I totally know it. And I’m sure the world recalls that I did request time with you once before, right, Toni? But that didn’t seem to pan out. Instead you went out with Kenny Wynn, who well… I mean he’s a nice guy and all. Rad Pirate seemed to take a liking to his loyal boot in that 8 on one affair a little while ago. Classy guy you got there, Toni.

Toni. What does any of this have to do with the J1?

Chad. The J1 is over, babe. And I won it. And I’m on top of the world. And I’ve got a way hotter chick than you, believe me. No worries though, Tones. No hard feelings. That’s bad karma and I don’t believe in putting out negative vibes.

Chad winks at Toni and throws up a hang loose that turns her face even more sour than his comments as he exits.

Toni. What the hell was that? Seriously?!

[Penguino]

LeRay “Penguino tagged in here and before leaving the ring Duke hits a bodyslam which sets of perfectly for the humanoid Penguin, who is now on the top rope. Flying Penguin! Followed by the cover, 1.2. No a kick out from Seph.”

Beeman “C’mon kid just stay down.”

Seph picks himself up slowly and looks around, he sees absolutely no Penguins in front or behind him, he looks down…

LeRay “Brutal Beak right to the shins of Seph send him rolling down.”

Seph is rolling around and he rolls outside for a second and looks down at his feet.

LeRay “Penguino ruined the $320 Jam Gordon shoes that Seph just bought and he is having none of it and is very upset here on the outside.”

Beeman “But Penguino has learned well from Duke and does not care about emotions as he launches to the outside of the ring with a plancha.”

LeRay “Both legal men are on the floor and the official has now gotten to a 3 count, what will happen next, we’ll find out while you’re stuck in picture and picture

[The Greatest Wrestler OF DOOM]

A JWA.com exclusive video shows a lowly lit room, focused on a table.  In the background we hear a loop of "Jingle Bells", played only with jingling bells.  A platter of Gingerbread cookies, piled in a mess are front and center.  As the camera closes in we see these are no ordinary Gingerbread Men.  They have carefully crafted masks, and capes, and are far more robust and round than the standard mold.  The floorboards begin to creak as though someone is walking around the room, "Jingle Bells" still jingling away.  The creaking gets louder, closer.  A loud crash is heard.  For a moment there is silence.  Then a loud thump as a thick, sweaty hand slaps into the frame on the table and quickly snatches up a cookie.  Then another three.  Footsteps are heard stomping away and we hear "Ho-Ho-Ho!".  Across the screen appear the words:

"Merry Doomsmas"

[Bad Luck Bradley]

Duke and Brad are jawing off to each other. The ref is trying to simultaneously count and hold them at bay. Both Seph and Penguino are on the outside. The crowd doesn't know what way to look.

Suddenly Brad and Duke bolt into the ring. The crowd is in a frenzy, but both men shoot for the corner closest to their partner's. Brad is up first, on Bret's Rope (the most dangerous rope) and Duke is behind him, ripping him down and replacing him. Duke shouts to his partner and Brad wastes no time in giving him a back rake and jumping up in his place.

Both Penguino and Seph have gotten to the apron. The count is broken but neither man is willing to allow the other to enter. Duke has gone to another corner and both illegal men are shouting to their partners, all four competitors in one line, two on the second rope and two on the apron.

Flippers flash against flesh and boots batter bodies. Skin slaps scales and hands hammer heads. Feathers flutter against fists and knuckles knock knees.

Finally, both on the apron rear back and their heads bump. Seph is now bleeding heavily as both men splash to the apron, seemingly lifeless.

[Penguino]

Both men slowly roll into the ring and get up while both partners brawl on the outside.

LeRay “The legal men, standing in the ring facing each other, neither of their partners are here to save them now.”

Beeman “Johnny Kobra is jumping in the apron, Penguinos partner is helping him!”

LeRay “This is ridiculous what’s going on here. The referee and Seph are distracted and now from behind it’s Penguino from behind with The triple german suplexes, spins him around, three Penguinos , Thin Ice, Ice Fishing he spins him up one more time. ICEBREAKER!! The cover 1.2.3.”

Beeman “Yes they won and it was all thanks to the legendary Duke Mongoose.”

Beeman gets in his knees and starts bowing towards him.

LeRay “I suppose we will see you next week for the Jammy awards and good night.”

[Omega Satyros]

After a commercial break, cameras show backstage with the mutinous colorful crew after security let them go. They're in the catering area. Black Cat, Diablo, and Omega are shown to the side, watching the next match.

Vinny: I can't believe Thorin would turn for Rogers like that.

Kenny: I know, he turns to support his sworn enemy, just like that

Chase: How to they explain that?

By now, the crew were overheard by Omega's crew, who decided to join the conversation.

Omega: The EITC seized some part of Thorin's fortune, yet you really think he's going to accept that and join in on beating down Rogers with y'all? You must been dumber than I thought you guys were.

Vinny, Kenny, and Chase try getting in Omega's face, Peter Dabrowski tries to play peacekeeper.

Diablo: Don't think you're off the hook Dabrowski, if anything you should be the most ashamed. At least those three S.O.B.s made the choice for themselves to be bastards, you let yourself get peer pressured into it. 

Peter, trying to prove he's not some follow-along punk, lands a punch on Diablo. Black Cat responds with a kick to Dabrowski, while Omega plants Vinny Bambino with a Satyr Kick. Kenny and Chase pick up their cohorts as Rogers and Thorin enter frame. The mutinous crew sees they're now at a disadvantage, and run off. Omega turns to Thorin and Rogers, and gives a nod before turning back, a glare in the direction Vinny and crew ran off to.
