ON THE LAST KILLING FIELDS:
Booker For A Day The countdown to BIRTHDAY CARD 2004 continues!
Mr. Montabo called Johnny Stompanato into his office to start the program. He wished
him a happy birthday and explained that he knew Johnny would be rejoining the service,
and he wouldn't want him to work on his birthday. Since he did show up this Friday, however,
his present to Johnny S. was the authority of President for a Day. He urged him to have fun
and show the fed why he once ruled Friday afternoons.
Dark Horse came storming in, ranting to his brother. Montabo directed him to Johnny, the
new boss. DH demanded satisfaction with Franchise. Stompanato understood his anger, but
he couldn't just force Franchise to show up. He was not under a contract with HCW. DH pointed
out that as Television Champion, Hynes would be required to defend it every week. Johnny
admitted overlooking that fact. DH then told him to make him a contender for the title and let
him have his due. Stompanato said, if you get him to show up, you get your match.
The next match Stompanato arranged was Oof against New Filthy Creature Dillberg. He made it
a First Blood Match, which Oof, the physical monstrosity, easily won with a headbutt. The other
Filthy Creatures swarmed the ring, which drew the Corporation out. Stompanato then came to ringside,
declared a 3-Way, 9-Man tag contest, with a bandaged Jonahberg and Justin Fearior, and the Amazing
Nerd behind him. After the initial flurry of activity, the hobbled team of 'Berg, Fearior, and B-Rad
were clearly out of the match. Their presence, however, enabled the New Filthy Creatures to squeak out
the pin.
Meanwhile, in the President's Office, Johnny S. kicked back with Mr. Williams and the
taped-up Pretty Paul Parismo. In the interest of continuing, in Parismo's words "All killer,
no filler" programming, Johnny S. booked contenders Chris Schuon and Hollywood Huey Brown for
best two-of-three falls battle. Montabo it was explained, was hunting down Franchise and investigating
the events of the past month.
Swan and Hollywood went for power, and it was a slamboree. Schuon hit for a sidewalk slam, and dialed
up his Schuon Dive to win, but Brown rolled out, peeled Chris off the mat, delivered a neckbreaker, then
a Bronx Bomb for the first fall. He attempted a sleeper hold for a quick second, but Schuon broke out.
Swaneezy strung a couple reversals together and eventually dropped a baseball slide-Schuon Dive
combo, capturing the second fall. Brown took the deciding frame, surrendering a Pitchout but performed
Showtime for the pin.
Stompanato was urged by Parismo to enter the ring for a final time before returning to base, and
he found a willing opponent in the Crisco Kid. Calling submission only, Johnny put on a display of snap
holds and tie-ups, culminating in a STF tap out. He received a standing ovation from the crowd.
Stompanato walked past P.A. Greg, who was hitting on Jenna Perry. She said she was still thinking
about it, and Greg opined "hot chicks need a man on the inside." She rolled her eyes as Johnny S. went
into the office.
Toweling off, Stompanato set up Nashville against Huggy Bear, and due to his vested interest, named
B-Rad Special Referee. The Amazing Nerd called the match down the middle, of course. Nashville continued
in much the same way as in the 3-Way Dance, and won via Camel Clutch.
The contenders for the Cruiserweight Title brought their claims to the President, who had
consulted with Mr. Montabo, and declared no clear #1 Contender, with each competitor having
beaten each other. Therefore, their match at Birthday Card 2004 will be a 4-Way Elimination Match with
Champion Justin Fearior.
Montabo informed an excited Dark Horse that his Personal Assistant phoned and reported
Franchise preparing to fight. Montabo shook DH by the hand and promised support.
Main Event action began in earnest, both men circling and staring. Action was back and forth
until DH used Franchise's momentum to swing him outside. DH went to work using the ring posts and
apron to wear down the larger man. Franchise finally threw DH into the ring steps. Blows were
traded for another five minutes. Both men were outside on opposite sides, sucking in air. DH did
not wait for Franchise to slowly roll in first. He reached under the apron and brandished a
two-by-four. He went in attack at the far side of the ring, when he saw his brother's assistant
coming toward the ring. He didn't quite understand, and yelled to the boy, "He sent you?!" Greg
explained there was a problem backstage, but DH decided not to bother. When he turned, it was too
late. Franchise had eased onto his feet, and grabbed the hidden Television belt he was laying on,
and slammed it into DH's head. Stompanato came running out, but he was not in time, and one
Diamond Dust sealed the defeat for Dark Horse. Franchise declared, "I am the Alpha and the Omega!"
Montabo emerged after Johnny, shouting at Franchise. He was decoyed from a rumor of Scarlett
being seen on the premises. He had had enough, and called out Hynes. Birthday Card 2004 would be
a TLC Match, one on one, Montabo versus Franchise. He demanded the match stipulate winner gets
Scarlett's contract, and loser leaves HCW, to settle the score once and for all. Franchise agreed.
The stage is now set for Birthday Card 2004: The Trojan War.
