- (bright instrumental music)
- [Announcer] The
following is a presentation
of the United Wrestling Network.
Welcome to Championship
Wrestling presented
by West Coast Pro Wrestling.
I am Bimbo Jimbo Kincaid
coming to you yet again,
out of my home here in
San Francisco and yes,
I am still wearing my mask
because it's the
right thing to do
as we all get through
this thing together.
And I am very pleased today
to take you back
into the archives
of Championship Wrestling
for a best of look
at the United Wrestling Network
Television Championship,
this guy right here on my lapel.
It is one of the most
prestigious titles
in all of Pro Wrestling
and today we are going
to take a look back
at some of the greatest moments
with that very
championship on the line.
And we start with a ladder
match between Willie Mack
and Scorpio Sky. This is
Championship Wrestling presented
by West Coast Pro Wrestling.
So sit back, relax and enjoy.
(yelling)
- [Announcer 1] And then
Sky thinks this is it,
I think he thinks that
the title is now his.
- [Announcer 2] This
goes to show you
how much it means to Sky.
He is willing to go
through to any lengths.
He's willing to do
whatever it takes.
The Machiavellian challenger
wants to regain power,
wants to regain the title,
and he's seconds and steps
away from doing just that.
- [Announcer 1] Oh
here comes Willie!
Willie's got him by the leg!
(crowd yelling)
- [Announcer 2] Willie Mack now
gets Scorpio Sky back down,
and I'll tell you what guys,
so much going in this
match, so much strategy.
Willie Mack there,
just desperation.
I mean, he didn't
even have the power
to turn the ladder over.
- [Announcer 1] And
the strategy is to
beat the hell out of
your opponent like that!
And another sickening chair
shot after sickening chair shot.
(chair slams)
My goodness!
- [Announcer 2] Well I
think Scorpio Sky now,
just frustrated, just angry!
He's frustrated he's
not the TV champ!
- [Announcer 1] A
hundred chair shots
for a hundred episodes!
(crowd booing)
- [Announcer 2] He's
frustrated, that frustration
might end momentarily
because all he has to do
I think at this point is set
up a ladder and make the climb.
I don't see how well he could
possibly get back to his feet.
At this point, the champion
is in extreme jeopardy.
This ride that it's
been, the emotional ride,
the title reign for
Willie Mack may be over
in a matter of moments.
- [Announcer 1] Scorpio Sky
looking to end the career,
I think, of Willie
Mack once and for all.
I think this is now not
just about the title,
it's personal, it's
about the career of Mack
and the career of Sky.
One going up that ladder,
and one going back down to
the bottom of the rankings.
- [Announcer 2] Sky
thinks the time is right.
Sky thinks the time is right
as Xtian Cole talks trash.
(yelling)
Ohhhh!
What just happened?!
- [Announcer 1] Willie
Mack just kicked Cole
into the ladder!
- [Announcer 2] That was sick.
- [Announcer 1] Xtian Cole
was in the wrong place
at the wrong time!
Joined with Willie Mack!
- [Announcer 2] Boy, and
the bottom dropped out
for the challenger.
- [Announcer 1] That
was disgusting, I can't-
Scorpio Sky's in
a world of pain.
Willie setting up
the ladder now!
You gotta get the
ladder, Willie,
what are you doing, buddy?!
- [Announcer 2] What does Mack
have in store now for Sky?
- [Announcer 1] What
a fall that was.
- [Announcer 2] Payback.
That's what he has in store.
(painful yelling)
- [Announcer 1] Setting
him up on the ladder.
Willie Mack has one thing on
his mind, and that's violence.
- [Announcer 2] Oh no, what? No!
(ladder slams)
(yelling)
- [Announcer 1] What
power by the champ!
Where did he find that from?
- [Announcer 2] Have you
ever even seen that before?!
- [Announcer 1] The
back of Scorpio Sky
(crowd chanting "Hollywood")
Can you imagine the pain
going through the body of
Scorpio Sky right now, T.K.,
can you imagine it?
- [Announcer 2]
I'll tell you what,
I think both guys,
at this point,
are going on pure instinct.
I think adrenaline has kicked in
and that's the only thing that
is keeping these two going.
- [Announcer 1]
All I know is that
we are witnessing a classic.
- [Announcer 2] Every time
these guys get in the ring,
they make history.
And once again making history.
But I'll tell you what,
I am deeply concerned about
the career of Scorpio Sky
after that maneuver, guys,
I am deeply concerned.
- [Announcer 1]
He'll find himself
at the unemployment
line with Eric Watts.
(yelling)
Hopefully with you two-
Albright carried you
through episode 100.
- [Announcer 2] Willie
starts to climb.
That's one man's opinion.
Scorpio Sky starting
to stir, though.
He's picking up
that second ladder
as Willie is about to
pull down the title!
(announcers and crowd gasps)
- [Announcer 1] I
don't even know how Sky
is on his feet, guys!
- [Announcer 2] I
have no idea either.
- [Announcer 1] He was on
his back on the ladder,
sidewalk slammed.
- [Announcer 2] It defies
logic that Scorpio Sky
is even moving around right now.
And he's got a chance to
even win it right now.
- [Announcer 1] I
think you got it, T.K.,
I mean these guys are going
strictly on adrenaline.
- [Announcer 2] That's the
only way they could be.
That's the only way they
could still be moving.
- [Announcer 1] There's
no way you can survive
maneuvers like that, no way!
- [Announcer 2] The drive,
the desire to win that title
is controlling- it's
willing them to-
- [Announcer 1]
Alright, here we go!
Here we go, ace of spades!
(skin slaps loudly)
There we go.
- [Announcer 2] Wow,
what a leg kick and now-
- [Announcer 1] Gotta
chop down the tree!
- [Announcer 2] Upstairs,
going for the round kick,
doesn't get him!
What!
(wrestling mat slams)
Sky on the drop!
Onto the chair!
Onto the ladder!
(excited yelling)
(crowd yelling)
- [Announcer 1] Willie
Mack is the man!
Plain and simple!
- [Announcer 2]
Scorpio Sky is done!
He's got to be done!
You talk about being trapped
between a rock and a hard place.
How about being trapped
between a chair and a ladder,
and a Willie Mack Moonsault?
- [Announcer 1] I mean,
he kicked up like that.
How does a man his size
move the way he does?
I honestly will never know.
- [Announcer 2] It
defies all logic.
- [Announcer 1] It really does.
- [Announcer 2] There is
no one like Willie Mack.
- [Announcer 1]
There really isn't,
there really isn't from
your mouth to God's ears.
Willie's got a shot to
win this thing right now.
These people would
become unglued
if Willie could grab that belt.
- [Announcer 2] It does,
if fans try to will-on
Willie Mack here.
They want to see this
inspirational champion
continue his title run.
But, Scorpio Sky
wants it back so badly
you're going to have to damn
near kill him to stop him!
Sky's got the ladder,
someway, somehow!
Ohhhh!
He's got a chair and
he leveled him with it.
- [Announcer 1] I'll
tell you what, T.K.,
where there's a
will, there is a way!
I got to tell you,
the people watching at home
tweeting
#championshipwrestlingfromholly0
Tweet to your friends!
Tweet to the idiots who are
not watching this right now,
about what a classic
wrestling competition,
contest, battle,
war is all about!
Scorpio Sky's-
Table for four!
He's got seating
comfortably for 3 right now.
- [Announcer 2] I was
going to say, yeah,
setting up some
additional seating here.
He's got a whole
pile full of chairs.
Scorpio Sky has
some evil intentions
for Willie Mack.
Looking to end this
match once and for all.
I still can't believe
he's standing.
- [Announcer 1]
Neither can I, this is-
- [Announcer 2] What's he
going to come up with here?
Aw, going to drive
him head first,
head first,
(wrestlers grunting)
- [Announcer 1] Oh what's Mack-
Mack reversing
knees to the back!
To that injured back!
Uh oh, uh oh!
Ohhhh!
- [Announcer 2]
Chocolate Thunder Driver
on a whole heap of chairs!
- [Announcer 1]
Game, set, match!
Lights out!
(crowd cheering)
I'm serious, turn
out the lights.
Party's over.
Xtian-
- [Announcer 2]
Xtian Cole trying to-
- [Announcer 1] -to
avoid the inevitable!
- [Announcer 2] -trying
to avoid the inevitable,
trying to keep the title!
- [Announcer 1] What is this,
what is this idiot doing?
- [Announcer 2] Uh oh.
- [Announcer 1] Trying to
buy Scorpio Sky some time,
I think.
- [Announcer 2]
Willie Mack could have
already been up there,
could have already
gotten the title.
Uh oh.
Yes, do it!!
Chocolate Thunder Driver!
Spiked him with authority!
- [Announcer 1]
That looked nasty!
- [Announcer 2] Chocolate
Thunder Driver on Cole,
there is carnage in the ring.
Cole and Sky both down.
This has been a battle,
ladies and gentleman,
this has been a war.
All these men going through
such tremendous punishment,
such tremendous pain.
- [Announcer 1] Are we
witnessing the destruction
of the experience right now?!
- [Announcer 2] This
is going to be it!
- [Announcer 1]
Willie's going to do it!
- [Announcer 2]
He's going to do it!
- [Announcer 1] Willie's
going to do it - he's got it!
- [Announcer 2] Yes!!
(bell ringing)
Willie Mack retains!
- [Ring Announcer] Here's
your winner and still
Hollywood Television Champion,
Willie Mack!
- [Announcer 2] Alright
gentleman, it didn't disappoint.
It exceeded our expectations.
These sacrifices that these
men made in this match tonight,
but in their careers as a whole.
With that title on the
line, 100th episode of
Championship Wrestling
from Hollywood.
Here's to the
champ, Willie Mack.
Here's to 100 more.
- [Joe] The television
champion Bateman
wanted the old James Morgan,
well now he's got an angry James
Morgan with a baseball bat,
oh, looks like it's
starting off right now!
The bell is rung, it's a
no disqualification match,
did not need to
start in the ring.
- [Johnny] Who knows
where this match
is going to go now.
If you look there, veteran
referee Mike Coflin
was appointed specifically
for this match.
We knew it was a no
disqualification,
they needed someone like Coflin
to be able to handle these two,
and right off the
bat it's pure chaos.
- [Joe] Well basically
he's just there
to count to three,
or see if one of them taps out.
- [Johnny] He's gonna
try to keep order,
but it's not gonna happen.
- [Joe] There is
no order anymore,
James Morgan knows
what's at stake,
his entire career's at stake,
17 years of blood,
sweat and tears,
and it all comes down right here
against Bateman for the
Television Championship.
- [Johnny] Just trading
shots right off the top.
This is getting a little
too close for us, Joe.
- [Joe] James Morgan
hooking the eyes.
Bateman getting a taste
of his own medicine.
Bit of his own offense
used against him.
And they're going to the crowd!
- [Johnny] That baseball bat
lying dead center of
the ring, that's legal.
- [Joe] My main concern
is for people in
this crowd, now.
- [Johnny] We already
saw some people
scatter for safety,
can't blame 'em.
- [Joe] No, we've
got two deranged men.
- [Johnny] To say that
Bateman has gotten
into the head of James
Morgan is an understatement.
Morgan fought so hard to come
back from that broken neck
and when he did he was a
changed man for the better.
But Bateman has brought back
the Main Event's inner demons.
Taken his title, now he
wants to take his soul
and his career.
- [Joe] And you
have to remember,
this all started when
Bateman broke the neck
of Stu Stone.
Part of the family
Stone, all the way back
in James Morgan's
long career here.
- [Johnny] And we haven't
seen Stu Stone since,
and we probably
never will again.
- [Joe] Oh, no.
What's James Morgan
have in mind here?
- [Johnny] About to snap
the ankle of Bateman.
- [Joe] Oh no, oh my gosh.
- [Johnny] James
Morgan is vicious,
he's demented at this point.
It's very rare we even
see Bateman feel pain.
- [Joe] Uh-oh,
Bateman's got the bat!
James Morgan right on top of it.
- [Johnny] He caught him.
- [Joe] Huge leg drop.
- [Johnny] Can't forget Morgan
had such an
incredible title run,
even handing Hammer Stone
his only defeat thus far,
never took an opponent lightly,
took every single
opponent and set 'em down.
And Bateman of course, using
Jarek 1:20 to his advantage,
but as you see, Jarek 1:20
nowhere around ringside,
completely destroyed by the
Main Event, James Morgan.
That's what Bateman asked for,
he said he wanted
the Morgan of old,
the Morgan who defied Adam
Pierce by stealing his robe.
The Morgan who slayed the
monster Othello in a steel cage,
and the Morgan who
destroyed Jarek 1:20.
- [Joe] Morgan might
think that's enough,
oh, not going for a cover.
Delivering more punishment.
- [Johnny] The battle
here for Morgan
is gonna be keeping
it under control
as he tries to
choke out Bateman.
- [Joe] Bateman using
those fish hooks again.
- [Johnny] Look, Morgan can
hurt Bateman all he wants
but if he doesn't win the
title back, his career is over.
- [Joe] Look at that,
digging his fingers
into the face of James Morgan,
he could disfigure
James Morgan like that.
Oh my gosh.
- [Crowd] Let's go Morgan!
- [Joe] The sick,
sadisticness that is Bateman.
- [Crowd] Let's go
Morgan! Let's go Morgan!
- [Johnny] You know, I
used to think Bateman
was a snake oil salesman, but,
I'll be honest, now I'm just
completely terrified of him.
There's something about him.
He walks into a room,
everything changes.
- [Joe] Well now that he's got
the title around his waist,
now that he's United
Television Champion,
everything's changed,
he's going for the cover
that's gonna end the career!
Johnny, like you said earlier,
it's only gonna
take three seconds.
And James Morgan could
be done for good.
- [Johnny] All it takes is
three seconds from Bateman
and that death from above
would be very apropos
for the career of
James Morgan to end.
- [Joe] But James Morgan,
he's never been more focused,
he's never been more
vicious, look at that!
- [Johnny] Yeah, you
talk about vicious.
- [Joe] Digging his teeth
in like a wild animal!
I think he's taking
pieces of him off!
- [Johnny] And Mike Coflin
doesn't know what to do.
- [Joe] Mike Coflin,
he's got nothing to do.
He can't do anything,
James Morgan...
- [Johnny] You're right,
in a no disqualification
match like this,
the referee's hands
are essentially tied.
- [Joe] All he's there
is to count a pin,
or to see if one of these
competitors will tap out,
which I don't see happening.
I don't see either one
of these men giving up.
- [Johnny] Gotta be honest,
Joe, biting the head of Bateman
multiple times like Morgan did,
I don't think that
was a good idea.
- [Joe] We're seeing some
slight frustration from Bateman.
Ooh, targeting that nose.
Oh, here we go with a
cover, this could be it!
James Morgan able to
get the shoulder up.
- [Crowd] Use the chair!
- [Joe] Ooh, big short arm
clothesline from Bateman.
- [Johnny] And thus
far, Bateman has done
everything he said he would,
he said he would take James
Morgan's title and he did.
He said he would defeat him
in the rematch and he did,
and now he claims he's not done,
he wants to take everything.
The question is, oh, as he
sends him into the post!
- [Joe] That cold steel,
right into the shoulder!
Oh no, it's Jarek
1:20, he's back again!
He's got brass knuckles, oh no!
Uh-oh.
Bye, Jarek, oh,
they were handcuffs
wrapped around his fists!
Jarek 1:20 completely taken out.
James Morgan winding up Bateman.
Ooh, what a jawbreaker.
Obviously took a
lot out of Morgan,
we gotta take a break,
this is your main event,
this is the Red Carpet
Rumble, don't go anywhere!

- [Announcer] Oh, uh oh.
- [Joe] What'd he grab?
Oh it's the bat.
He got the bat back.
But Bateman with a huge knee!
- Oh my God!
- [Joe] Right on the chin!
That's gotta be it.
- [Announcer] That's a
250 pound running knee
off the apron right to
the head of James Morgan.
James Morgan's gotta be out.
- [Joe] Uh oh, what's
Bateman looking for?
- [Announcer] Look at
the sadistic smile.
- [Joe] What he's pointing at?
- [Announcer] What is he doing?
- [Joe] What is he pointing at?
Where's Bateman going?
- [Announcer] I don't
know but I gotta say,
it was a mistake for James
Morgan to go after that bat.
He gave Bateman an opening and
now he's in complete control
Morgan is--
has his bell rung.
- [Joe] This is a huge
mistake by Bateman
giving Morgan a
chance to recuperate.
- [Announcer] Morgan's got
the bat in his hand again
the question is can
he get to his feet?
- [Joe] Where's Bateman?
Where did Bateman go?
- [Announcer] Uh oh.
- [Joe] Oh no, Bateman's
back with a trash can.
Oh, no, no, no.
- [Both Announcers] Oh!
- [Announcer] Wow!
Bateman didn't know the
bat was still in play
- [Joe] He just
brutally crushed!
- [Announcer] He
broke the garbage can
and Bateman's head in half!
- [Joe] The full impact
of that baseball bat
crushing into the garbage
can and then onto the
skull of Bateman.
Oh Bateman!
- Oh god!
- [Joe] Busted it wide open.
Bateman's bleeding all over
the place like a stuck pig!
My goodness!
- [Announcer] I gotta say,
I'm shocked that
Bateman bleeds red.
- [Joe] James Morgan, now.
Punishing, he's got a
target, a big red target.
- [Announcer] Joe, we knew
this no disqualification
match would be chaotic
and it's about to get messy.
Ooh!
- [Joe] Morgan, now covered
in the blood of Bateman.
Choking him with the
bat, look at the eyes of
James Morgan, choking
the life out of Bateman.
He might not just,
when it's time
he could kill Bateman
right here, my goodness!
Look at the face!
- [Announcer] That is
symbolic for James Morgan
he says, "I don't
care how much blood
"is going to be on my hands,
"my career is not
ending tonight."
and he's taking back that
television championship.
- [Joe] This crowd is
going crazy right now!
Do you think
Bateman's regretting
wanting to see the
old James Morgan?
- [Announcer] Hey, be
careful what you wish for.
Bateman wished for
the old James Morgan.
Well, we've never seen a
James Morgan like this.
- [Joe] James Morgan, hitting
Bateman right in the back
with that baseball bat.
One swing and that could be it!
- [Announcer] That is a
bloody Louisville slugger
in the ring.
- [Joe] Look at Bateman,
so much blood being lost.
Oh, look at that!
Camel clutch locked in!
And you can see the pain,
you can see the agony
actually affecting Bateman!
Took the smile off of his face!
- [Announcer] We're
only seconds away.
Bateman's about to be out cold.
- [Joe] Well, between
the blood loss
and the blood being cut
off by James Morgan,
he could just pass out right
here and lose the title!
James Morgan not letting
that happen though!
- [Announcer] It's all or
nothing for James Morgan.
He realizes that is--
they're all the way at
the top turn-buckle.
Oh!
- [Joe] Frankensteiner
off the top rope,
my goodness, James
Morgan's got it!
James Morgan!
(groans)
- [Announcer] Gosh, so close
to being the two time
television champion
and preserving his career.
You gotta say, what is
Morgan thinking right now?
What does he have to do?
- [Joe] Well, he knows he still
has that bat in the corner
he has any weapon in the
world to his disposal.
- [Announcer] And now, getting
in the head of Bateman.
If there's any blood left in it.
- [Joe] Showing the same
disrespect at Bateman,
look at the smile
on Bateman's face.
- [Announcer] Oh god.
Is this what Bateman wanted?
- [Bateman] Come on,
you son of bitch!
- [Announcer] Oh my goodness.
- Come on!
- [Joe] Bateman is
a man possessed!
- [Announcer] This is what
I talked about with Bateman
there's something off about
him, man, he's not normal.
Sending him through
the second rope.
James Morgan, dumped
to the outside,
can Bateman capitalize?
- [Joe] Ooh!
What a dropkick!
Missile dropkick from the apron!
- [Announcer] That boot
went right to the side of
James Morgan's head.
He's out Joe!
- [Joe] James Morgan's
gotta get to his feet
or it's gonna be all over.
His career will be over.
- [Announcer] I say, Joe,
I don't wanna see this.
I've been buddies with
James Morgan a long time.
- [Joe] Oh no!
- [Announcer] Oh, going
for the cover here!
- [Joe] James Morgan able
to get the shoulder up!
- [Announcer] That
discus forearm
does a lotta damage, Joe!
But of course, it
just softens you up,
for that huge Death From Above.
James Morgan's gotta
get to his feet or
everything he's worked for--
- [Joe] Or get out of the
ring James, do something.
Buy yourself some time!
Another one!
- [Announcer] James
Morgan not taken down!
Ooh no!
Modified Brain Buster,
it could be enough!
James Morgan able to
get the shoulder up
saving his career.
- [Joe] Morgan grabbing
the arm of Mike Coffland.
- [Announcer] Couldn't
get the shoulder up,
but grabbed the hand!
Stopped the three count!
- [Joe] He knows what
that three count will do--
another discus
forearm, the third one!
- [Announcer] Oh no!
James, you gotta get up, James.
- [Joe] Dead center of the ring,
he's setting him up.
- [Announcer] Last rites
and a Death From Above, no!
- [Referee] One, two--
- [Announcers] Oh!
- [Joe] James Morgan!
Kicked out of Death From Above!
He kicked out of
Death From Above!
- [Announcer] James
Morgan will not die!
James Morgan!
- [Joe] Whoa!
- [Announcer] Spitting
in the bloody face--
oh no another one.
- [Joe] And a third!
- And another one!
- [Joe] Oh no!
- [Announcer] That's it.
(bell dings)
- [Announcer Two] Your
winner and still the
United Television
Champion Bateman!
- [Announcer] It's over.
- [Joe] For James Morgan.
- [Announcer] I'm
speechless, Joe.
- [Joe] The Main Event,
James Morgan, his
career is over.
Bateman had to give it his
all, give him everything.
This is the Red Carpet Rumble,
it's happening our next episode!
We gotta go!
Don't go anywhere
we'll see ya next week!
(sad music)
(crowd cheering)
(audience awes)
- (Todd) The main
event continues here
at AZ100 Championship
Wrestling from Arizona.
Bringing you the
action, Todd Kennelley,
Johnny Loquasto
still here with you.
And throughout the
break, sense of urgency
by the challenger, who's
looking to take home the gold.
- (Johnny)The sternum of Rosas
crashed into the turn buckle,
Grimsly wisely follows
it up with a double knee
to the same exact
area, and again, Todd!
That's gonna take away all
the oxygen from Ray Rosas
as he hooks the leg here.
- (Todd) Close call
there for the champion
after those big
knees in the corner.
I think Grimsly certainly
would have rung the bell
with the mallet there with
the physicality of those shots
and now continues to
be in the driver's seat
as he has taken over
this championship match
and really applying a ton
of pressure on the champ.
- (Johnny) Grimsly does not
care what it looks like,
he's not trying
to impress anyone.
He wants to inflict damage.
Another pin attempt here!
(wrestler grunts)
- (Todd) Yeah, not always
going to be pretty for Grimsly,
but it will be effective.
He's not looking
for style points,
he's looking to hurt
ya and he's looking
to take what he wants and
that's the television title.
- (Johnny) It's going to take
a lot to take out Ray Rosas.
Think about everything
he's been through
to become the
television champion.
He bested Scorpio Sky, the
best at Coastline Clash
The only four time United
television Champion in history.
Ray Rosas defeated him.
- (Todd) Yes but I mean...
to give Sky credit it
was in the worst town
that Sky's ever seen
- (Johnny) Which is basically
every town he shows up in.
Once again Grimsly using
all his body weight.
- (Todd) Methodical
pace right now Johnny,
and this certainly
favors the challenger.
- (Johnny) yeah, no doubt.
Ray Rosas loves
an up tempo match
he likes to take risks.
Hard to do that when
your not even standing.
- (Todd) Tough to fight
from underneath Grimsly
who is absolutely relentless.
The breaking hands there,
and unloading some right
hands now is the Champion
runs into a boot though,
by the challenger
back and forth coming
right up the middle
I think that one would
have split the uprights,
backbreaker, side
Russian, leg sweep,
series of offense by the Champ.
- (Johnny) I think we know
what he's looking for now Todd.
He's looking at that
top turn buckle!
- (Todd) Looking for the
method to the madness
you know space is the place.
- (Johnny) Dangerous
territory here.
Oh there it is!
(Audience Clapping)
- (Todd) Beautifully done
there by the Champion
a whole lot of
philosophy and momentum.
Into that suplex,
and the Champion is rolling
literally here now going up top.
- (Johnny) The
elbow pad is down!
Rosas is up!
- (Todd) Is he going to hit it?
(Audience surprised)
I'll I can say is
oh ye! He sure can.
- (Johnny) But he
needs to make the pin
or is he going to try to
put him a way for certainty?
With the adios amigos.
- (Todd) Well Johnny,
I think he's thinking,
thinking, thinking.
Will see what he comes up with,
he's got him up
thinking adios amigos.
And he hit it out the back door.
- (Johnny) Oh!
- (Todd) It's Grimsly
Oh! what a shot
by the challenger.
- (Johnny) Oh no.
- Gory Special.
Into a gory bomb
there by Grimsly!
Face first! Thanks for playing!
We've got some lovely
parting gifts for ya Champ!
Into the cover!
Only a count of two.
- (Johnny) Did not hook the leg!
that was something we rarely
see from Oliver Grimsly.
A Gory Bomb definitely...
bringing that out
of the tool box
did not put away Rosas though.
- (Todd) We talked about in
these high stakes matches
Match ups that we've
seen in AZ 100.
The likes of the best
of 7 match earlier on.
Won by Chris Bey sometimes,
And now the titles on the line.
You got to pull
out all the stops.
You got to keep your
opponent guessing.
Putting on the breaks,
is the challenger
elevates the Champion
to the Apron,
and catches him sleeping,
and might put him to sleep.
- (Johnny) Oh no!
- (Todd) Wow!
- (Johnny) Right in
the back of the neck.
that could be it.
Grimsly roles him over towards
the center of the ring.
Hooks the leg!
- (Todd) Champs out!
Oh my goodness!
Just a fraction of a second
away from history being made
at AZ 100,
and you can see the frustration
now in the Challenger.
- (Johnny) And you
also see Ray Rosas...
I don't know if it was
instinct or ring awareness,
but he has a grasp
on that bottom rope
most likely out of desperation!
Oh no.
- (Todd) Grimsly got
a be careful here.
I don't think he's going
to get away with this.
- (Johnny) Look out Ray!
Oh!
Super Kick!
- (Todd) Now fumble on the play.
Beautiful throw there by Rosas!
Looking to take control
and take the win!
But only a count of
two the other way.
What was Grimsly
thinking there Johnny?
- (Johnny) I never know
what Grimsly is thinking.
sometimes I wonder if he just
wants to inflict more pain,
or get a victory.
but someones got to get
rid of that crowbar!
- (Todd) You see, I mean,
if the Champion uses it
and gets disqualified
he holds on to the gold.
- (Johnny) Fair point!
- (Todd) And he gets some
revenge in the process.
- (Johnny) Now we have a tug
of war with the crowbar ?
Oh no!
- (Todd) The referee decked!
incidental contact!
but no less devastating!
and now this just
opens Pandora's Box.
- (Johnny) Ah oh! look out!
All hell has broken loose here.
Adios amigos!
- (Todd) But there is no
official to count the cover.
This thing would be over.
Champ should be retaining.
The audience, the crowd here,
the faithful counting
along but not official.
Because there is no official.
- (Johnny) No! the crowbar
was in Ray Rosas hands
When the referee was struck.
I mean honestly it
was inadvertent.
Now, Grimsly rolling
to the outside.
Oh, what's he going for now?
- (Todd) As if the first
weapon didn't do enough damage.
Who in the world knows
what he's got in his,
personal playground
underneath the ring.
- (Johnny) We're going
to need another referee.
Oh my god!
- (Todd) Oh no!
- (Johnny) What?!
What was that?
- (Todd) Fire to the
face of the Champion !
Rosas has been blinded!
and now the Bed of Nails!
- (Johnny) Oh, no!
- (Todd) And Rosas couldn't
defend this if he wanted to!
He didn't see it coming
that's for damn sure!
A second Bed of Nails, Johnny!
Not a third!
- (Johnny) Oh God!
A fireball and
three Bed of Nails,
and somehow the referee
slowly making the countdown!
- (Todd) No! Not this way!
Two, oh my goodness!
You got to be kidding me!?
An unholy trigeminy!
- (Announcer) And the
winner of this match,
and New United Wrestling
Network television Champion
The King of The
Midway Oliver Grimsly!
- (Todd) A disgusted look
on the face of my partner,
Johnny Loquasto and I
can't blame you my friend
the champion had him
beat, had him pinned
after the adios amigos,
then a fireball,
and three consecutive
Bed of Nails!
To steal, to steal the
television Championship!
- (Todd) I mean a
crowbar is one thing!
A fireball to the eye's ?!
Are you kidding me?!
This is a nightmare for the
entire United Wrestling Network,
Todd.
- (Todd) Literally!
Miscarriage of justice
here at AZ 100.
Just like a carnival game.
The fix was in on this one!
We'll see you next week!
(upbeat music)
- Johnny, we have
been waiting for
more than six months
for this moment
for Scorpio Sky to
get another shot
at The United Wrestling Network
Television Championship.
- That's right, Joe,
you know, anytime
either one of these
competitors enter the ring,
it's a guaranteed main event,
but when you have
them facing off
for The United Television Title,
that alone is worth the price of
admission as we are about to
crank it!
(upbeat music)
Roppongi Vice has
returned to Hollywood.
Azucar Rocky Romero
ready for action.
- That's right, he
has been defending
the title all over the
globe, all through Japan,
and as decorated as a champion
of Scorpio Sky has been,
you would need a scroll to
list all the accomplishments of
The United Television
Champion, Rocky Romero, Joe.
- I completely agree, but has
all that travel worn down,
Rocky Romero?
Is Scorpio Sky in a better
position for this matchup?
- Absolutely.
- Main event time,
baby. Milestone.
Let's take things over to
Angelo Trinidad with
the introductions.
(upbeat music)
- The following
contest is scheduled
for one fall--
- One fall!
- and is for The United
Television Championship.
Your referee, Jeremy
Marcus, introducing first,
the challenger, fighting
out of Big Bear, California,
weighing in at 197.2 pounds.
This is Scorpio Sky!
(crowd cheers)
- [Crowd] Scorpio,
Scorpio, Scorpio.
- And his opponent, from
Los Angeles, California,
weighing in at 177 pounds,
he is your current
reigning and defending
United Television Champion,
Rocky Romero!
(crowd cheers)
- What an amazing main
event we have in store,
Johnny Lacrosse, I know you're
a man who loves to
do his research,
let's talk strategy
in this matchup.
- [Johnny] Well, my opinion,
if you're Rocky Romero,
you gotta let Sky make
the first mistake.
You know, no matter how
focused he may appear, you know
he's been chomping at
the bit for this rematch,
like you said, for
over six months.
He may be impatient.
He could be more prone
to making a big mistake
so, if I'm Rocky,
I wait for the opening.
Whereas if I'm Sky,
it's all about submissions.
Don't go for the
knockout blow right away.
Just wait for your opening
and then make him tap.
Use all those mixed martial
arts skills to your advantage.
- You know, Johnny Lacrosse,
though I have to respectfully
disagree with you there.
Scorpio sky has that
reach advantage.
I think he needs to utilize that
in the early goings
of this match up.
- But if you ground
Rocky Romero,
you take away the slice Rocky.
- That's very true, but if you
knock out Rocky
Romero, you walk away
as The United Wrestling
Network Television Champion.
- Not just that, he
would be the first ever
four time United
Television Champion.
- And of course,
having held that title
three times, with a
snap mare takedown.
Scorpio Sky.
- And, Joe, we remember the
history between these two.
- Oh my goodness. We
went into the dark,
turning the lights out here.
That is the kind of action
that you could expect to see at
Championship Wrestling from
Hollywood for Milestone.
- Completely electric here.
- There's so much
electricity in this ring.
You can't hold it at
the Ocean View Pavilion.
- Talk about evenly matched.
- Oh man.
- Wow.
- Fight forever!
- Well, that's a first.
- And the electricity
is palpable.
You can feel it throughout
this entire arena
as Rocky Romero, Scorpio
Sky locking horns.
- As the legendary
Gorilla Monsoon would say,
cut it with a knife.
Definitely a light
switch doesn't work.
- 100%. Jeremy Marcus
trying to get some control--
- Oh!
- and its, look at
that. The strike.
Scorpio's Sky sending
Rocky all the way
over to the announcers' table.
- Oh no. We've seen this before,
they get, they get,
oh, God. Oh, God, geez.
Oh, No, no, action a little
too close for my liking.
These two, just like last time,
slugging it out
right in front of us.
- They took out the
announcer's table last time
they fought to a
no contest and--
- Oh no, no, no, no,
oh, to the apron,
veteran maneuver
by Rocky Romero.
- Wow. Azucar, take it to the
sky, knee strike to the face.
- And that's why--
- These two will do
whatever it takes for the
United Television Title.
We're seeing it all
the way early on.
- And that's why
Rocky Romero has been
so successful here at
Hollywood and abroad.
- I'm afraid to sit back down.
- Going back into the ring where
I prefer the action
to be for sure,
as Rocky Romero, taking
control of this match up.
- Yeah.
- As you mentioned before,
the last time these two
went toe to toe, a very
controversial end, but
Rocky Romero came out
Champion, Scorpio Sky
has not forgotten.
- Absolutely not and look,
these two have a deep
respect for each other, Joe,
but when it comes to The
United Television Title,
all respect goes out the window.
You just saw what happened.
I mean, we almost got taken out.
- Yeah, blatant disregard
for anyone else's safety.
They are going toe
to toe gonna go
and try to get every available
advantage they possibly
can and Azucar's
standing tall over Scorpio Sky.
- That last match up at Red
Carpet Rumble was an absolute
classic, but ended
in utter chaos.
Look at that! Rocky Romero
able to take advantage.
A slight hesitation,
that could be
the opening that Romero needs.
We have to take a break.
This is our main event.
We'll be right back.
- [Johnny] We are
back at square one.
Who is going to get
to their feet first?
- [Joe] I could determine
the end of this match up.
Explosive offense
by both of these
absolutely incredible athletes.
- Five, no, he's up, he's up.
(audience clapping)
- [Johnny] That looks
like he got the worst
of that double clothesline.
Romero trying to take
out that left leg.
- [Joe] Just sound
strategy for Romero.
Take out the legs, Scorpio Sky,
you take away virtually
all of his offense.
Quick moves into the flying
headscissors, launches Sky,
into the corner.
- [Johnny] It's the velocity
of that headscissors
- Sky's dazed.
He's dizzy.
- [Johnny] Rocky
picking up speed.
- [Joe] Oh, we've
always seen this before.
Rocky Romero on fire.
Sky had it scouted, oh, but
runs into that clothesline.
Turned inside out.
- [Johnny] Well,
look at the eyes
of the United
Television Champion.
- [Joe] Oh man.
- [Johnny] Standing
defiant to the man
who wants to take it back
- [Joe] Azucar.
Feelin' oh so sweet
in the driver's seat.
Looking for Sliced Rocky.
- Whoa, look out.
- Oh, wow.
Sky, oh.
Uncorks a right hand.
- [Johnny] So, Rocky,
really feeling the effects
of that fist there.
- [Joe] Oh, look, what
are they thinking up here?
- At this point
- Oh, no, no, no.
- [Johnny] All logic's
out the windows, Joe.
- [Joe] No.
He might've been thinking Ace
of Spades off the second rope,
but Rocky Romero,
Frankensteiner.
(Johnny laughing)
- Hooks the leg.
- Into the cover,
this could be it, no.
- [Johnny] Rocky had
a plan all along.
He landed that Frankensteiner,
but it's gonna take
a lot more than that
to retain this title.
- [Joe] 100%, I mean,
Scorpio Sky proves
time and time again,
he is incredibly resilient,
it's like a whole 'nother level.
- [Johnny] To be honest, Joe,
the longer this match goes,
the more it favors Sky
with his conditioning,
All the body weight
on the lumbar spine.
- [Joe] All that high
altitude training
up on Big Bear Mountain
comes into play and matches,
as you said, Johnny,
if they go the distance,
it favors Scorpio Sky.
- [Johnny] What an episode
of "Milestone" it's been.
We've already seen Brian Cage
and Jack Swagger, Tim Storm,
and now the United Television
Title is up for grabs.
- [Joe] What a "Milestone"
this entire series has been.
- [Johnny] Yeah.
- [Joe] New tag team champions,
a huge Hollywood Heritage
Title match last week,
- [Johnny] And not to
mention did Ray Rosas
finally rid himself of
Professional Peter Avalon
in that steel cage.
- [Joe] Incredible weeks of
action starting the new year
here at Championship
Wrestling from Hollywood
and Azucar comin'
into the corner,
dumped over the top.
Look at that, what's
going on here?
Sky with, oh my goodness.
- [Johnny] Was that
a double headbutt?
- [Joe] No, Scorpio
Sky caught him
with the cutter on the apron.
- [Johnny] It looks like
they both landed head first.
- [Joe] Oh, they both landed
real hard, but Scorpio Sky
got the best of that exchange.
- [Johnny] But he's gotta
get Rocky back in the ring.
You can't win a title
with a count out.
- [Joe] Oh, and Scorpio
Sky's not stayin' long
comes over the top.
- [Johnny] Incoming,
Sky landing on his feet.
- [Joe] The agility, the
speed, the athleticism.
Is there anything
Scorpio Sky cannot do?
- [Johnny] The answer is no.
- [Joe] Sky's feeling the
end, he's calling for it.
He's feeling it, he's
got him lined up.
- [Johnny] He's gotta
get in the high knee.
- [Joe] In his
crosshairs, the high knee.
- Oh my god.
- Oh, Jeremy Marcus.
Jeremy Marcus has been
knocked out of the ring.
Oh.
- Oh man.
Jeremy Marcus in a bad way.
- [Joe] Off the shoulder, oh.
- [Both] Ace of Spades.
- [Joe] There's no referee.
Shoulders are down, one, two,
it could've been
over right there.
- [Johnny] Jeremy Marcus
is in deep trouble, oh no.
- [Joe] He took
that knee so hard.
That was absolutely
devastating, what's Sky,
- Whoa, wait a minute, he
just grabbed the United.
He just grabbed it, why
has he grabbed the title?
What are you doing, Sky?
Referee or no, you can't
bring the title in the ring.
- [Joe] Sky's lookin'
for an opportunity.
He knows he can't
get disqualified if
there's no referee.
He has the title belt.
- [Johnny] But he
doesn't have to do this.
Neither one of these
competitors should do this.
- [Joe] Oh, he's torn,
is Sky gonna do it?
Is he gonna knock out, no.
- [Johnny] Oh my God, again.
- [Joe] Up on the shoulders.
Romero, Sliced Rocky,
Sliced Rocky connects
No referee, one, two,
three, Rocky could've
retained right there.
Rocky Romero.
- [Johnny] Can we
get another referee?
Now he's pulling
Jeremy Marcus in.
- [Joe] I don't know
if that's gonna work.
Jeremy Marcus took that
knee right into the face.
Scorpio Sky, he's
got the title belt.
- What is he thinking?
- He's got the title.
Miss.
- Oh.
- [Joe] Romero
with the high knee.
- Oh my God
- Oh, Sky
connects with the cranium.
- [Johnny] He launched his
entire body into the head
with the title belt.
- [Joe] He's got the cover, why?
Not like this, not like this,
Scorpio, why'd you do it?
Oh, Romero.
- Oh.
- [Joe] Digging deep, after
nearly having his skull caved in
by the Television Title,
Romero stays in the fight.
- [Johnny] Joe, I am in utter
shock as is Scorpio Sky.
- [Joe] Ah, come on, Sky
- [Johnny] Romero
kicked out on instinct.
He doesn't know where he is.
- [Joe] What could
Scorpio Sky be possibly
thinking right now?
- [Johnny] Unbelievable.
- [Joe] Sky with Romero
on the shoulders.
No, no, no, no, Ace of Spades
onto the Television
Championship.
Not like this.
- Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- [Joe] Come on, Scorpio, not
like this, into the cover.
- [Johnny] Marcus is coming
to, he makes the count.
A two.
- No, no, no, no.
- [Johnny] Three,
we have a new champ.
(bell rings)
- [Ring Announcer]
Here is your winner,
and the new United
Television Champion,
Scorpio Sky.
- [Joe] I can't
believe it, Johnny.
- [Johnny] I'm in disbelief
right now, Scorpio Sky
had to resort to using
the Television Title
as a weapon in order
to win this match.
- [Johnny] Joe, the question
coming into this match
was that what cost would
it be for Rocky to defend
the United Television
Title, but what would Sky do
to become the first ever
four-time Television Champion?
Well, we just saw it.
He used that title twice as a
weapon against Rocky Romero.
- [Joe] Scorpio Sky
has etched his name
into the history books.
The first ever four-time
United Wrestling Network,
Television Championship,
err, Champion
You know, something
wrestling fans,
I spoke with my broadcast
partner "The Timeless One"
Levi Shapiro
during the episode,
and he told me that
he is still gung ho
on adding his name to
that prestigious list
of United Wrestling Network
Television Champions.
That remains to be seen
if he will accomplish
that great feat in his career.
But what an amazing look back
at some of the great moments
in the history of that
coveted championship.
And come on back
again next week,
because we're going
to take a look back
at another prestigious title,
a best of the NWA World
Heavyweight Championship.
I cannot wait.
You won't wanna miss it.
Same time next week.
Until then, thank you so much
for watching wrestling fans.
- [Host] The proceeding
has been a presentation
of the United Wrestling Network.
