Friday Night Lock-Up begins from the campus of Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas! Fireworks explode and a promo for Memorial Day Maddness shows on the big
screen. Fans are holding up signs that read "International Disaster rules this land", "Dan Sager rulez!", "Phil fears Darth Maul".
Ward: Fans, welcome to Friday Night Lock-Up! I'm John Ward, here with Bill Anderson and Big Papa! We've got a huge show tonight!
Anderson: That indeed we do, the fans here are going nuts.
Ward: They have all packed in here tonight.
Big Papa: All these farm boys, they've got nothing else to do!
Ward: I hear we've got some camera crews in the back...
**A limo pulls up to the loading dock**
Anderson: Well, wonder whose limousine that is?
Ward: There's Punisher, meeting it, must be the PoD.
Big Papa: Dhamon ShadowHawk and Blade are getting out.
Ward: Let's listen in…
Dhamon: What's up bud?
Punisher: Nothing much, what are you thinking about doing tonight?
Dhamon: I'm going to look for McNasty!
Blade: I'm with you!
Punisher: Sounds like a plan, lets go…
Ward: Wow, speaking of McNasty, nobody has seen him around, its floating all around the rumor bin that Dhamon's mystery opponent is Mike McNasty.
Anderson: I'm having a hard time believing that seeing how McNasty hasn't been around in a while.
Big Papa: Last I saw McNasty was the beer drinking duel with PBW.
**Rictor vs Iron Horse**
Ward: Here comes Rictor, ready for his match with Locomotive!
Anderson: It’s been a while since anyone from the team that is now called International Disaster has seen any action in POW. I wonder how the Iron Horse will do tonight?
Ward: We’ll see in a minute…here he comes down to the ring, and he’s not wasting any time either!
Anderson: Rictor coming on strong, stomping the Iron Horse as he slides under the ropes!
Big Papa: Looks like he’s trying to stomp a mudhole in his guts!
Ward: Yes it does…but the Iron Horse grabs his leg and turns it into an ankle lock! Rictor is howling in pain! He gets the rope!
Anderson: Good for him, the ref’s breaking it up!
Ward: Both men on their feet, Rictor limping a tad as they lock up…he throws the Iron Horse to the ropes and connects with a clothesline…but Locomotive’s right back up!
Anderson: Rictor with a dropkick…the Iron Horse gets right back up! This could be bad for Rictor.
Ward: Horse sure looks fired up…he charges Rictor and starts choking him!
Anderson: He throws him across the ring…
Ward: Rictor jumps up, enraged…he’s charging the Iron Horse…he grabs him and goes for a DDT, what is THIS?
Anderson: The Iron Horse isn’t going down!
Ward: He’s fighting…he’s picking Rictor up! Shoulderbreaker!
Anderson: Rictor outweighs Locomotive by about 80 pounds…that’s a show of strength right there!
Ward: Iron Horse with a guillotine legdrop! Pin…1…2…no! Kickout by Rictor!
Anderson: Rictor to his feet, only to be met by a vicious kick to the gut.
Ward: Iron Horse grabs Rictor from behind…what’s he trying?
Anderson: Pump handle slam!
Ward: Cover attempt…1..2…3! What a show of strength by The Iron Horse!
Big Papa: You can’t win a fight with a train!
Anderson: I guess not…I would have thought Rictor would put up more fight than he did!
**The Iron Horse wins via pinfall at 6:38**
**Death-bed vs Helrazor**
…Ward: Impressive showing by these two rookies…Death-bed trying to gain an advantage here over Helrazor, who’s really making him work for it!
Anderson: Death-bed has him in a chinlock…they’ve been wrestling around on the mat like this for six minutes. That puts a lot of strain on these fine atheletes!
Big Papa: Why are the lights flickering?
Ward: The lights are out! What’s going on?
Anderson: Do you think it’s…
Ward: They’re back on! Look…Death-bed and Helrazor are out cold!
Anderson: A six pack’s lying there in the ring!
Ward: What does this mean? Is this a message from the mystery wrestler? Is it Mike McNasty?
Big Papa: I think I’m going to go get those beers…for after the show. Hold my mic…
**No contest at 8:22**
**"The Boys Are Back" by Thin Lizzy plays over the arena PA**
Ward: Let's start this match, Mr. Sharp makes his way to the ring escorted by Jiffy Jeff.
Big Papa: I used to love this song..The boys are back in town…
Anderson: That's really nice Papa…
**Some weird noises play over the PA system**
Anderson: What's this?
Big Papa: Sounds like my song, but played backwards.
Ward: That must mean Copy Cat is making his way to the ring…
Anderson: This should be an exciting lightweight match…there's the bell, we're underway!
Ward: This Copy Cat is a strange character…He seems to be mocking every move by Mr. Sharp.
Anderson: Sharp goes for a headlock, reversed, headlock applied by Copy Cat.
Big Papa: That's a nice suplex by Sharp, Copy Cat's up and hits the same suplex…
Ward: Both men are up, Copy Cat with a clothesline!
Anderson: Copy Cat has him in some kind of surfboard move..knees in his back with the arms stretched out.
Big Papa: If sharp is going to be successful here, he needs to find some way strike quick!
Ward: Front chin lock applied by Copy Cat..the ref is asking if he submits…
Anderson: Sharp's still alive…Wait Jiffy Jeff is on the apron!
Ward: Copy Cat lets go of the hold and makes his way towards Jiffy…
Big Papa: That's not a very smart move….Sunset flip roll-up by Sharp…1, 2. Kick out!
Ward: That was close, Copy Cat broke that with a kick to Sharp's head…Sharp might be out of it. Copy Cat picks Sharp up into a scoop slam!
Anderson: Copy Cat is going up top! Big leg drop off the top turnbuckle!
Big Papa: This could be it…Cover 1…2….Jiffy Jeff with the save, pulling Sharp's leg on the ropes!
Ward: Copy Cat sets Sharp up for a PowerBomb! That's Mr. Sharp's finishing move!
Anderson: He covers.. 1, 2, 3!
**Copy Cat wins via pinfall at 9:21**.
Ward: This guy is truly a Copy Cat, he used Sharp's finisher for the win!
Anderson: We've got more footage backstage?
Ward: I think so, lets look in….
**The PoD are in a locker room**
Ward: Wonder what they are talking about?
Anderson: Lets listen in…
Blade: Well, I have to wrestle that punk ICP, I'll catch up with you guys later.
Punisher: Wait, what if McNasty tries to interfere with his match? It would be perfect for him, creating a loss for a PoD…
Dhamon: True, You stay with Blade and I'll continue looking back here.
Ward: I'm telling you, I don't think he's here, they are wasting time.
Anderson: You never know though, Ward, he could be…
Big Papa: Could be at a bar…
**ICP plays and fills the arena**
Ward: Here comes ICP in his debut match.
**"Come with Me" by Puff Daddy plays**
Anderson: One half of the tag team champions…Blade, with PoD leader, Punisher.
…Ward: Back and forth match, Blade with a flying heel kick to ICP's head!
Anderson: Punisher is telling Blade to go for the pin! Blade covers…1….2…shoulder up!

Ward: And he's headed for Punisher!
Anderson: He's nailed Punisher with a chair!
Ward: Meanwhile, Blade has just hit a powerslam and covers for the 3 count!
**Blade wins via pinfall at 18:25**
Big Papa: Brax isn't through! He's piledrived Punisher!

**"Lick It Up" by KISS plays over the intercom**
Anderson: Where's Phil? Oh, the camera's have been dispatched to the lockeroom…
Ward: There's Phil A. Sheo, he's coming out of his closet.
Ward: Here comes POW's own fairy, Phil A. Sheo with Big Thexxxy!
Big Papa: He's so prissy, dressed in that pink feather boa!
**Pearl Jam's "GO" plays**
Anderson: Listen to this crowd, they love this guy, and Amy!
Ward: Big Papa, stay in your seat this time.
Big Papa: Ok, there's the bell…
Anderson: After a terrible showing in POW, Phil has gone down to business against Sager in this match.
Ward: This is turning into a classic.
Anderson: No outside interference yet!
Big Papa: I'm going down to ringside again, Amy's just too hot!
Anderson: Sager and Phil are exchanging shots to the head right now. Sager with a big right, Phil counters with a right of his own. Sager with another right, and Phil hits him back.

Anderson: Now Sager takes Phil's to the top ropes!
Ward: Looks like Phil's knee gave out on him, he's on the floor!
Anderson: Phil trying to reach for the ropes, Sager relentless as he tries to keep Phil away from the ropes.
Ward: Phil is reaching for it and he gets to the ropes!
Anderson: The referee tells Sager to let the hold go. Sager lets the hold go and gets up and goes for Phil. He gets the priss on his feet, he sends him to the ropes, he telegraphs a Back Body Drop and Phil makes him pay with a SWINGING NECK BREAKER!
Ward: Good counter by Phil, now both men are down!
Anderson: What a match this has turned out to be!
Ward: One for the books!
Anderson: The referee is counting, Phil showing signs of movements. Sager is moving too.
Ward: Whoever gets up first gets the advantage.

**Payne & Misaree vs Death-wish & Verge**
Ward: This match has a lot of potential! The former tag champs, Payne and Misaree are taking on two newcomers to POW!
Anderson: Here come those newcomers now…Death-wish and Verge! They get in the ring and survey the crowd.
Ward: And here come Payne and Misaree, along with the rest of International Disaster! The come down to the ring together…Thor, Big Red and the Iron Horse have come down to cheer on their stablemates!

Ward: Smart move by Payne! Now he runs to the opposite rope as Verge gets to his feet and hits a cross body block for a quick pin! 1…2…no!
Anderson: I think it’ll take more than that!
Ward: You’re right! Payne tags in Misaree and they hit Verge with a double vertical suplex!
Anderson: Quick tags are vital in these matches, and P&M utilize that aspect of their ring skills to keep their opponents on the defensive!
Big Papa: What did you say?
Ward: never mind, Papa…Misaree slams Verge, picks him up by the hair and whips him into the corner!
Anderson: Verge tags Death-wish! Not a good idea to throw him into his own corner!
Ward: Misaree knows that and hits Death-wish with a hard right before he gets in the ring! Death-wish falls to the floor outside!

**Payne and Misaree win via pinfall at 9:57**
Ward: And International Disaster leaves Verge and Death-wish lying where they are…they’re going to the back to celebra—who’s this coming down the ramp!?
Anderson: Is that McNasty? He’s got on a mask! He’s coming over here…
Masked Man: Give me my beer, you frigging has-been! If you’re too cheap to buy a three dollar six-pack of Pabst you need to just stop drinking altogether, pansy!
Big Papa: Sorry! Is that you, McNasty?
Masked Man: No! I’m mysterious! I have a MASK on, so you don’t know who I am, you stupid creampuff! HAHAHHA!
Ward: The Masked Man is entering the ring…

Ward: I know.
Masked Man: Hey Shadowhawk, you friggin loser! You may not know who I am, but I got your number! You do NOT want a piece of Mike—I mean the Masked Man! I know it’s burning you up inside to see who is under this mask, but you’ll just have to wait until Memorial Day Maddness, LOSER!
