Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

[The Amped promo begins to roll as “Amped” by Grip Inc. plays. Shawn Michaels, Thunder, Mitch Montell, Jeff Hardy, Owen Hart, Thunder, the Ant, Double H, and many other IWA superstars are shown in the opening credits. “Amped” then dies down and we’re taken inside the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, CA. We pan the excited crowd before stopping at the announce position where Bobby Heenan, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Thunder are seated.]

Ross: Would you like to do the honors this week, Thunder?

[Thunder looks at Ross with a glare.]

Ross: Very well. Welcome, everyone, to IWA Amped! I’m Jim Ross joined by Bobby “the Brain” Heenan, Jerry “the King” Lawler, and this week’s special guest commentator, Thunder!

King: And let me just say that it’s an honor and a privilege to work with you, Thunder. I’m so glad you could come down here and help us commentate this week.

Thunder: No problem, Jerry.

Brain: With you down here, maybe Ross’ glaring mistakes will be less noticeable.

Thunder: I’ll try to cover up all his screw ups but I’m not a miracle worker, guys.

[Ross says nothing, just scoffs.]]

Brain: I’m being told we have a camera backstage on Double H. Let’s see what’s up.

A Plan Being Hatched?

[We cut to inside the OC dressing room. All the OC’ers are there. Double H, Terra, Verona, and Wolvesbane. They sit on a pair of couches with a coffee table in the middle.]]

Terra: We’re going to get it tonight aren’t we? You said we would.

Double H: Yes, Terra, we’ll get it tonight. Don’t worry about it.

Terra: Well shouldn’t we start to come up with a plan?

Double H: Terra, I said don’t worry about. Just let me think for a minute.

Terra: I was just going to tell you that it’s important for all of us to get it.

Double H: I need a break. I’ll be back in a minute…

[Double H stands and leaves the room. Terra then turns to Verona.]

Terra: It IS important to all of us. I’m not just saying that.

Verona: All right already!

King: [Talking over the segment] I bet they’re talking about the World title.

Thunder: [Talking over the segment] Well if he wants to get “his” title, he better bring all his friends and them some cause I’m not giving it up without a fight.

[We cut to the hall where we see Double H. He walks past the camera and enters a small room. There are several tables set up piled with food as there is at every IWA event. Double H walks over to one of the tables and looks it over.]

Double H: [Lets out a long sigh] What the hell am I going to do?

Voice: I’ll tell ya what you can do.

[Double H spins around to find the man speaking to him is none other than the Slipknot Guy.]

Double H: Oh you. I’ve got some unfinished business with you!

[Double H takes a step toward him but the Slipknot Guy winds up and throws. An orange powder, has to be orange Kool Aid mix, flies right in the face of Double H. Double H grabs at his eyes and stumbles backward. He knocks over one of the tables, spilling food to the floor.]

Slipknot Guy: Hit ‘em!

[Oddly enough, another Slipknot Guy steps into the scene holding a large super soaker-like water gun. He gives it a few pumps and lets it fly. He sprays Double H in the face. Double H stumbles back a few more steps and trips on the overturned table. He falls right in the spilled food.]

Slipknot Guys: Ha ha ha ha!

[The Slipknot Guys run away leaving Double H clawing at his eyes.]

Ross: Now really, what did that accomplish!?

“Magnificent” Mitch Montell vs. The Slipknot Guy
Non-Title Match

Fink: Introducing first, weighing in at 255 pounds, he is… “Magnificent” Mitch Montell!

[“Broiler” hits in the arena. Mitch steps out onto the stage with the Television title draped over his shoulder. He walks down to the ring and climbs in.]

Fink: And his opponent, weighing in at 235 pounds… The Slipknot Guy!

[“Iowa” hits in the arena but we don’t see the Slipknot Guy. We wait for a moment then cut backstage. We see Double H pinning the Slipknot Guy up against the wall.]

Double H: You piece of sh$*! You want to throw Kool Aid in my face!?

[Double H pivots and throws the Slipknot Guy to the ground by his collar. The Slipknot Guy tries to get up but Double H boots him in the stomach. He goes down and Double H begins stomping him.]

Double H: Now where’s your friend, damnit!?

Slipknot Guy: What are you talking about? Why are you doing this!?

Double H: Don’t play stupid with me!

[Several officials and a few EMTs hit the scene. They pull Double H off of the Slipknot Guy. A few EMTs check him out while an official gets in Double H’s face.]

Official: Calm down, man! Calm down! It wasn’t him! There’s some other guy’s parading around in the Slipknot masks just like a few weeks ago.

Double H: What!?

Official: It’s true.

[Double H storms off.]

[We cut back to ringside.]

Brain: I take it we’re not going to have that match after all.

King: Montell got lucky.

Ross: Ha!

King: What!?

Ross: Nothing. The important thing here is the story behind the Slipknot Impostors. Who are they? Where are they?

Brain: I don’t know but that was damn funny what they did to Double H.

Ross: Well I know one thing.

Thunder: And one thing only…

[Ross gives Thunder a dirty look.]

Ross: And that’s that Double H wants those two bastards and will stop at nothing to catch them.

Thunder: The OC has their hands full tonight what with wanting the World title and finding those two masked guys.

Ross: Oh please, like we don’t know who the masked guys were.

Thunder: What do you mean?

Ross: Come on, Thunder. You honestly don’t think we’re THAT dumb do you?

Thunder: Just what the hell are you getting at?

Ross: It had to be Rain and Vinny. Just look at the evidence. A few weeks ago the masked man REPELLED from the rafters to hit Double H, YOUR enemy. Now there’s two of them and they strike AFTER we’re informed that they’re coming after the World title that’s in YOUR possession. It’s an open and shut case.

Thunder: Ross… You better shut your mouth before I kick your teeth in. And as much as I’d like to own up to being responsible for making a fool of Double H… I just can’t. It hasn’t been me, it hasn’t been Vinny, and it hasn’t been Rain. There’s someone else messin’ with those guys. My money’s on the mystery tag team that’s after them already.

King: Hmmm…

Ross: Well, we’ve got another match to get to so let’s cut to it.

“HBK” Shawn Michaels vs. Rain

Fink: Introducing first, weighing in at 234 pounds, hailing from San Antonio, Texas… Shawn Michaels!

[“Sexy Boy” hits in the arena. The fans get on their feet and cheer wildly for HBK. He steps out onto the stage and does his little routine, working the crowd. He then walks down the ramp and climbs in the ring.]

Fink: And his opponent…

[Fink is quieted as a scene pops up on the jumbo tron. We’re taken backstage and see a door marked “Rain, Thunder, Vinny” wide open. We step inside and see Double H roughing up Rain.]

Double H: You think it’s funny!? You want to screw with me!? I’ll teach you, Rain!

[Double H scoops Rain up and body slams him through the coffee table in the dressing room. Miraculously, we see the IWA World Heavyweight Championship laying among the rubble.]

Thunder: Damnit! He found the title!

Brain: Boy, that Double H is always just one step behind.

[Officials and EMTs again fill the room and pull Double H off of his victim.]

Official: Double H, it’s not him either!

[Double H, embarrassed and pissed off, throws the official to the side and storms out of the dressing room.]

Ross: He forgot the title!

Terra’s Waited Long Enough

[We cut back to ringside.]

King: Well that’s the second match of the night Double H has screwed up.

Brain: I don’t think we’ll see ANY action tonight the way this show is going.

Ross: I sure hope Double H finds these guys soon. I’d like to know just who’s behind all of this.

[Another scene pops up on the jumbo tron. We’re inside the OC locker room. Terra, Verona, and Wolvesbane sit there on their couch with their monitor turned off. Completely oblivious to what’s gone on so far, the three begin to chat.]

Terra: Man, where the hell did Double H go? He takes long “breaks.”

Verona: I’ve got no idea, man. But I’m staying right here. No way I’m leaving this room when that tag team is out there waiting to beat us up. I’d go but I don’t even know who to look for to beat up, Terra. They’re too afraid of us to show their faces. I’m not giving them a third chance to jump me.

Wolvesbane: Man, I’m with him.

Terra: Yeah, yeah. I’m going looking for my title. If H comes back, just tell him where I went.

Wolvesbane: You got it, man.

IN JUST TWO WEEKS!

Terra on the Hunt

[The camera catches up with Terra who’s walking around aimlessly backstage. He wanders down a hall and sees two EMTs helping a limping Rain right toward him. Terra jumps into a janitor’s closet fearing for his safety. Rain walks right past the camera selling his injury well along with the EMTs. Once they’ve rounded the corner, Terra comes out of the closet with a relieved look on his face and a plunger in his hand.]

Terra: Oh my God, that was close. I’d better hold onto this for protection.

[Terra continues down the hall hoping to just stumble across his title. He comes across Thunder’s, Vinny’s, and Rain’s dressing room door which is still wide open. Terra jumps up against the wall just before he reaches it. He takes a few deep breaths then jumps in front of the open door screaming like a wild man. He charges in swinging the plunger ferociously. Once he realizes he’s alone in the room he slowly stops his shouting and swinging of the plunger.]

Terra: Hmmm. I better look around.

[Terra walks over to three gym bags sitting on a table inside the room. He unzips the first and finds Thunder’s wrestling attire and boots. He throws them over his shoulder one by one as he searches through the bag. Once he gets to the bottom he throws the bag over his shoulder and goes to the next. He unzips it and goes through the same routine. Again, he finds nothing. He moves to the next bag and begins throwing out clothing. As he reaches the last few objects, he throws out several empty packets of orange Kool Aid. Terra turns around.]

Terra: Now where the hell is it? …Wait a second, was that Kool Aid?

[Terra rummages through the clothing on the floor. He finds the empty packets among Vinny’s clothes. Terra stands back up.]

Terra: It was Vinny all along!

[Terra walks over to the couch and throws his feet up onto the coffee table. The only problem is, the coffee table has been smashed since before Terra even entered the room. Terra’s feet hit the floor.]

Terra: Well how do ya like that? Those morons crushed their coffee table.

[Terra stands back up and thinks for a minute. When nothing comes to mind, he gets a little angered.]

Terra: Damnit! Where the hell is it!?

[Out of frustration, Terra kicks the rubble of the floor. He uncovers the World title by chance that was covered by a few pieces of the coffee table. Terra snatches the title up overjoyed.]

Terra: Oh my God! I’ve done it! I’ve done it! Yeeeeees!

[Terra drops to his knees staring into the title belt. A tear runs down his cheek. He stays there for a moment before leaping to his feet. He throws his arms in the air and begins jumping around the room.]

Terra: I did it! I did it!

[Terra turns to the camera.]

Terra: Did you get that on film!? Wasn’t it genius how I checked under that piece of broken table!?

[The camera moves up and down as if saying “yes.”]

Terra: I still can’t believe it! I’m the greatest!

[Terra runs out of the room.]

Bazooka vs. Jeff Hardy
Non-Title Match

[Fink brings the two competitors out and they fight all over the place. In the end, Bazooka hits the Bastard Cannon for the clean win.]

Winner: Bazooka

Back In the OC Locker Room

[We cut backstage to the OC locker room. Wolvesbane and Verona are gathered around Terra who clutches his World title listening intently.]

Terra: There were four of them! They surrounded me! And they said, “If you want your World title, you’re going to have to beat every one of us up.” So I said, “So be it” and I charged at the first guy-

[The dressing room door swings open and the three look over to see Double H enter with a pissed off look on his face. He walks over and drops onto the couch.]

Verona: Hey, H! Look, Terra got his World title. And he had to go through four guys to get it!

Double H: Great… Wait, what?

Terra: Uh, hey Double H I found who the Slipknot Guy… What’s that on your face?

Double H: …Kool Aid!

Terra: You mean he got you again!?

Double H: Yes… And I don’t know who the slippery bastard is!

Terra: I know…

Double H: What? …You know!?

Terra: Mmm hmm.

Double H: WHO!?

Terra: Well, when I was looking for my title in Thunder’s, Rain’s, and Vinny’s dressing room, which I was able to break into undetected, I went through each of their bags. When I came to Vinny’s I found several empty packets of orange Kool Aid.

Double H: What!? So it was them all along! Damn officials were trying to tell me otherwise! God!

Terra: What?

Double H: Well… It’s a long story. Anyway, I ended up talking to some guys backstage during the Bazooka match. They told me Thunder denied having anything to do with it earlier in the night. I think I’m going to go pay Thunder a little visit.

[Double H gets up and leaves the room.]

IN JUST TWO WEEKS!

Double H vs. Owen Hart vs. Vinny “the Chin” Esposito
Winner gets a World Title Shot at Ground Zero

[“Down with the Sickness – the OC Remix” hits in the arena. Double H stomps out onto the stage pissed as ever. The fans pop big time. Double H walks right around the ring staring at Thunder the entire time. Thunder notices this and stands. He takes off his headset expecting things to get physical.]

King: Uh oh, he’s coming this way!

[Double H finally reaches Thunder. The two stand nose to nose and exchange words. Double H shoves Thunder backward into the steel barricade. Thunder comes back with an even stiffer push. Double H stumbles backward. He comes back swinging but Thunder ducks. He grabs Double H around the waist and takes him down with a traditional wrestling move. Thunder then begins stomping away on Double H. H fights back to his feet and the two brawl around the ringside area. Double H gets in a few punches on Thunder then slams his face onto the announcer’s table. Thunder staggers off but Double H follows. He tries to clothesline Thunder but he ducks. He then shoves Double H face first into the ring post. Double H staggers back into Thunder who hits him with a German suplex to the padding. H holds the back of his head in pain. Thunder gets in a few more stomps.]

Ross: My God, Double H is gonna be wasted before Owen and Vinny are even introduced! Fink, get them out here!

Heenan: Beat him up, Thunder! Beat him!

[Thunder grabs his chair and folds it up. He stands over Double H with the chair raised. The fans begin to boo heavily. Thunder brings the chair down hard across Double H’s back. Double H kicks and flails in pain. Thunder begins laughing and jabs the chair into Double H’s lower back a few times. All the sudden three men in orange jump suits and Slipknot masks jump the railing. They each have a belt and begin whipping Double H with them. Thunder just looks on a little confused.]

Brain: What the hell!? Three Slipknot Guys!? That’s all of ‘em! That’s the whole band!

Ross: Someone stop this! Stop them! Damnit!

[The Slipknot Guy’s continues beating on Double H. Finally they pick him up and roll him onto the apron of the ring. They remove their masks! It’s Owen! And Vinny! And… Shawn Michaels! The jump suits come off next. Owen and Vinny are in their wrestling attire with Strike shirts on!]

King: The Strike! The Strike has reformed! My God what a night!

Ross: I don’t believe this!

[Vinny and Owen climb in and the bell rings. Double H just lays motionless off to the side as they circle one another. They lock up and Vinny quickly hits the mat with Owen covering his chest. …1 …2 …3!]

Fink: The winner of this match… Owen Hart!

[Owen jumps to his feet and throws his fists in the air.]

Owen: Woooo!

[Vinny gets up and Shawn climbs in the ring. The three begin to celebrate. Owen drags Double H to the center of the ring and the three begin stomping away on him. Vinny backs up and bounces off the ropes. He drops his signature leg drop right across Double H’s throat. Owen then grabs Double H’s legs and locks on the Sharpshooter. The ref tells Owen to break the hold but he won’t. Owen wrenches even harder each time the ref tells him to break it. Double H begins to scream out. Owen finally releases the hold. Vinny pulls Double H to his feet. Owen and Vinny hold him for HBK to his the super kick but HBK declines. Owen shrugs and throws Double H back to the mat. He climbs to the top rope and removes his elbow pad while yelling out with a “Wooo!” He gets a mixed response from the crowd with some “Wooo’s” and some “Nuggets.” Owen gets ready to jump but Shawn stands over Double H. Owen begins to question him.]

King: Uh oh, it looks like Shawn has had a change of heart!

Brain: What!? No! Get out of the damn way, Shawn!

[Vinny tries to move Shawn to the side but Shawn won’t budge. Vinny gets increasingly more physical until Shawn finally decks him. Owen sees this and hops down pissed. He gets in Shawn’s face and the two have some words. All the sudden, Terra, Wolvesbane, and Verona come charging down the ramp. Vinny alerts Owen and the two high tail it. Owen grabs a mic and he and Vinny take the long way around the ring. They walk halfway up the ramp before turning back.]

Owen: Shawn, Shawn, Shawn… It’s a shame to see you turn your back on us like this… To do what you ALWAYS do and stay on the fence. Well not anymore, Shawn. I’m done with you. I’m done with waiting around for you to make up your mind on what side you’re on. Deep down, I knew the Strike would never be a united front with you on the team. You just can’t be trusted. So Shawn, I guess I’ve made your mind up for you. But after you laid into Double H with that belt, let’s see if he’s willing to let you in his OC.

Shawn: Even if he doesn’t, Owen, being on my own will be a hell of a lot better than following your ass around.

Owen: Yeah, we’ll see if you’re saying that when I’m kickin’ your ass.

Shawn: You wanna kick my ass!? Then do it!

[Shawn leaves the OC in the ring and hops to the outside. He stands alone and waits for Owen to make his move. All the sudden someone jumps the railing and takes Shawn down with a clothesline. He gets in a few stomps but runs up to join Owen and Vinny when the OC makes a move to help Shawn. The man turns and we see it’s Jay Skillz.]

Owen: Ha ha ha… As you can see, Shawn, I knew you’d get cold feet not too far into this so I lined up a replacement. It just so happens, the replacement I found was much better than you. Jay Skillz… Welcome back.

Skillz: Thanks, Owen. It’s great to be back in the IWA and it’s great to be back in the Strike.

[Shawn slowly gets to his feet. He stares at Owen pissed off. The OC hops to the outside and stands beside Shawn. They begin walking toward the Strike. Owen, Vinny, and Skillz turn and run as a black screen pops up with copyright information. The show then goes off the air.]
