(Cannon blast sounds, and “Better Far” begins to play)
LeRay: well that boom is just the beginning as we get ready for the Pirates of DOOM to EXPLODE!
Beeman: I’d prefer watching them spontaneously combust, but maybe Doom will squash Rogers.
Rogers enters, carrying a large tray of soft drinks, passing them out freely to the assorted fans, but keeping two in reserve.
He climbs into the ring and gestures for DOOM to arrive, gesturing with a cup that he’s ready to raise a glass with his former partner.

“Accordion” fires up as cannons blast once again and the Greatest Professional Wrestler of DOOM launches across the stage and adjusts his eye patch all kinds of places.
Beeman: What is he so confused about now? That he had a week off? Or that he’s going to fight that silly red buccaneer?
On cue, DOOM races toward the ring, cape flapping fan after fan in the mug. Then he stops suddenly to eyeball a young fan wearing a Red Pirate Rogers t shirt. Who is also holding a soda. But the actual Rogers DOOM’s attention to the sodas he has brought to the ring himself. DOOM adjusts his eyepatch again. The he bolts to the ring and dives miraculously beneath the bottom ropes, sliding right to Red’s feet and popping up for a sip, face to face with his friend.
Beeman: I can’t wait to see which of these mutinous scoundrels is going to cut the others throat first!

Red Pirate Rogers hands a soda to the Greatest Professional Wrestler of DOOM and they cheers the cups together and guzzle back the beverages like old mates.
LeRay: It would appear there are no hard feelings here, Sean. These two are still chums.
Beeman: Chum is exactly what I’d like to se become of them. Let’s get to the fighting.
The bell rings and Roses bows to his friend as if to wish him well. DOOM adjusts his eyepatch and gives a very exaggerated hand gesture before bowing in return. Red gives a good clap of assurance which sparks the crowd into a “Pirates of DOOM” chant. Now they both bow to the JWA crowd.
Beeman: Is this the J1 Pinnacle we’re watching or the Finale of Hamilton? Are these bozos going to fight or bow one another into submission ?

Rogers smiles and nods, but then puts up his fists, turns to the crowd and shouts "at your command!"
DOOM pumps his fists, and takes a sparring stance too.
Beeman: GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!
The former teammates let loose a shout and rear back to swing...only to go full slow-motion Rocky and then exchange a double finger poke, and suddenly flop around on the ground like a pair of fresh caught halibut.
LeRay: (through laughter) Oh my...Well...always something new in the J-1...
Beeman: (fighting back tears) we used to be a proper company.
The fans have a brief laugh, but begin to chant "Start. The. Fight." Rogers springs back up, holds up his hands and says, "for real this time...at your command!"
DOOM is slow to get up having had more fun flopping than fighting, but Rogers helps him up and then tries to whip him toward a turn buckle, DOOM reverses it and Rogers goes into it.
LeRay: Alright, we WILL have a match rather than a Big Rig, Blockbuster Brohan reenactment.
Beeman: Please, that was a 5 star classic compared to what these bozos are doing.
DOOM charges in to squash Rogers, but the Pirate springs up off the second rope and lands behind his old partner before rolling him up for a one count and a kick out. DOOM gets back to his feet and staggers Rogers with a headbutt.

DOOM watches Rogers stagger back. The Lucha Pirate switches his eye patch to the right. Then back to the left. Red uses the moment to capitalize and fires out of the corner with a clothesline. DOOM stumbles back two steps but he doesn’t go down. Rogers fires another clothesline and again DOOM moves back two steps. His expression falls from one of an uneasy smile to something slightly less comfortable.
Beeman: I thought I’d be happy when they started going at it but this is still doing nothing for me. Someone should bleed for this.
Rogers comes at DOOM again, but this time the Greatest Professional One catches his friend in a monster bear hug of DOOM! And he squeezes.

LeRay: hard to see anyway out of this for the crimson Corsair? He’s trained DOOM, too well!
Beeman: that idiot! Why would you ever help someone get skills to beat you?!
Referee Francis McCorry lifts Rogers’ hand once, twice…
Then suddenly DOOM falls to the side.
LeRay: what in the world happened there?!?
Beeman: That idiot, Rogers! He couldn’t teach his old partner to hold a bear hug right!!
(Both men are down, as DOOM’s considerable weight landed on Rogers’ injured ankle)
LeRay: Look at this, replay! (A video replay is shown, while the live action shrinks to a small Picture in Picture) in the middle of the hold, Rogers to wrap his legs around DOOM and puts his own submission hold on the pirate Lucha, and DOOM collapses before McCorry can call the match.
Beeman: that idiot! His big reversal, double reversed and hurt him again!
LeRay: Would you stop it!!
Slowly, Rogers gets up and limps to the corner. He climbs carefully and perched precariously before…
LeRay: Cliffs of Craziness!!! Cover…1..2..3!!!
Rogers rolls over and reaches for his ankle. After a minute he pats DOOM
on the big man’s ample belly. Stands gingerly and extends a hand to help up his former partner…
