DCWL Classic - Cornerstone Revolution III: King of Endurance

By 2006, Jackson Hunter had gone from long shot challenger to an institution as Grand Champion. However, longtime rival Mark Haley sought to collect a debt from the champion, and brother Darian Haley, aka Orion, was not far behind. These three individuals would collide in a new match concept called the "King of Endurance," a long form match in which scores were tallied per fall, and the winner would be the first past ten points.

But, like the Cornerstone Revolution main events before, intrigues were brewing after the match...

[Slow fade from black.]

(Out of the black, epic music begins to sound. The ending of Total
Dementia is seen, Alexander Hawkins III defeating Jackson Hunter, and
holding the Plunderweight Championship high above his head. There is a
slight haze over the events as they move in slow motion. But then, AH3
is seen across a black background, arms folded with the Plunderweight
championship over his shoulder, the camera zooms around him dynamically
as another figure comes into view… The Rat. Standing with his hands on
his hips, the Rat glares at the screen from behind his sunglasses.
Soon, behind the two, more figures appear. Tawny Blake, Babyface
Brawler, Celestial Warrior, Maul, Tigress, and Vyolence. As they seem
to march from the background, toward AH3 and The Rat in the foreground,
a familiar tune begins to play.)

# You say you want a Revolution.. #

(The Rat and AH3 slowly turn, gripping their fists, walking toward the
others as if in a big gang fight. The folky tune continues to play as
they walk towards each other.)

# Well, ya know. #

(The screen seems to change, now with Team Hawkins and Team Rat walking
toward each other, as if both are stuck in West Side Story. But the
camera then flashes to see the Tag Team Champions, Guido Milano and
Johnny Detson standing with the straps across their shoulders. Coming
from behind them are Da Ace Killas, armed with action figures.)

# We all want to change the world #

(But the camera spins around once more and now focuses on Naja Takamara
and Curt Olsen, the Platinum Title sitting in between them. Naja lifts
the title up, draping it over his shoulder, but Olsen just looks at him
with a smirk on his face…)

# You tell me that it’s evolution #

(But as the camera takes another dynamic swing into the black
nothingness, it comes back around to see Skye Ashner. He looks over his
shoulder as Evlynn comes walking up behind him, and suddenly the two
are looking at each other in a heated stare.)

# Well, ya know #

(After a moment, The two turn their backs on each other and begin
walking away in slow paces, as if in an Old West gunman duel.)

# We all want to change the world #

(But just as before, the camera spins wildly out of control, but this
time locks in to the stone cold stare of Haplo the Vagabond. He stands
alone in the darkness, arms stretched out as the camera spins around
his impressive muscular build.)

# But when you talk about destruction #

(And as it violently spins upwards, we now see the tattooed scales on
the back of Noah Prejudice. He glares forward while the camera
continues to spin around him. But soon the camera stops over his
shoulder, and he begins to walk forward. Walking towards him in the
same path is Haplo. Their eyes lock in a cold stare as they continue
toward each other until…)

# Don't you know you can count me out #

(Static… The sound of the Beatles’ "Revolution" stops.)

# The Revolution will not be televised. #

(Through the static is the image of the Grand Championship.)

# The Revolution will not be televised. #

(Then comes Mark Haley, walking down an alleyway…)

# The Revolution will not be televised. #

(…and on the other side of the alleyway is Orion…)

# The Revolution will not be televised. #

(In the middle, holding the Grand Championship is Jackson Hunter. Haley
and Orion start walking towards Hunter, who just smirks, motioning for
them to “bring it”. As they near, the screen goes to static, and then
back to black… The Beatles’ tune returns.)

# Don’t you know it’s gonna be… #

(Haley, Orion, and Hunter now stand in the blackness like everyone else
before them. Slowly they begin walking toward a center point, at which
lies the Grand Championship, all reaching it simultaneously. The three
look up from the title to each other, as suddenly yet again see Team
Hawkins and Team Rat walking faster and faster toward each other.)

# Alright! #

(As Team Hawkins and Team Rat meet each other, a brawl breaks out! But
it is consumed by a white light, which now shows us the Tag Champs
again, getting bombarded with action figures! Detson and Guido duck and
cover as they get closer and closer to Da Ace Killas, and when the
reach them… the same white light!)

# Alright! #

(Ashner and Evelynn suddenly turn and rush toward each other, each
other them leaping in the air. They lock arms, as the same white light
appears in between them!)

# Alright! #

(Noah Prejudice and Haplo the Vagabond still remain in a death cold
stare. Both of them stand there, just staring, seething with rage,
hatred for one another. The same white light then engulfs them…)

# Alright! #

(Static once more… We see Jackon Hunter’s face, as Haley and Orion are
closing in on him and the Grand Championship. He smirks before uttering
a phrase…)

“The Revolution WILL be Televised…”

DCWL Classic - Cornerstone Revolution II's Main Event

Taking you back to September 18, 2004. Skye Ashner was the longest reigning DCWL Grand Champion to date, and future Grand Champion Jackson Hunter was making his first main event appearance in the DCWL. It was about respect. It was about sacrifice. It was about who could go to the best-of-three falls...

* Note the appearance of Kyle Hayden's alter ego partway through the match, already practicing his drunk impression.

Your gentle reminder.

A reminder now that your Day Two CR5 Oncards are due no later than 11:59 MST. No extensions, as I will have the show out at some point on Saturday.

Website Extra - from "CR5 (Day One)"

[Cut backstage to intrepid reporter Blaze Crimson, standing in front of a DCWL logo.  She appears unamused.]

BC: I really have to do this, don't I?

[Sigh.]

BC: Ladies and gentlemen, the first DCWL Dangerous Champion Derrick L. Ford.

[Derrick steps into frame, a wide smile beneath the brim of his white stetson hat.  He is, otherwise, dressed for battle.]

DLF: Bet you thought you'd never have the pleasure of interviewing me again, huh?

BC: Thought?  No.  Hoped, however, is a different story.

DLF: Alright, alright.  I'll take it from here, then.

BC: Knock yourself out.

[She shoves the mic into his chest and storms off set.  Ford shrugs, addressing the camera with the mic.]

DLF: After the Ark, I made a vow that no one would ever take the Dangerous Championship away from me.  As the first and greatest Dangerous Champion, the man who made that belt as coveted and revered as it is today, I knew I could not trust another man with the legacy I had created.  Some called it foolish.  Perhaps, but when your backup plan consists of a cushy six figure salary you can afford to have high standards.  When Braddock beat me, I was happy to ride off into the sunset and leave Kyle Hayden to his sinking ship. 

[He shakes his head, frowning.]

DLF: Despite my reserve status, I didn't think anything could bring me back.  If Kyle came to me with a match, I told him to go to hell.  I saw any meeting he called, including that pathetic display of an all hands meeting last show, as optional for a true VIP such as myself.  No, despite our differences and despite my reserve status, it wasn't Kyle Hayden who caused me to show up at Devil Wears Lycra...it was American Freebear.

[A sneer.]

DLF: American Freebear is a disgrace.  A disgrace to Southerners everywhere for his elitism and "progressive' stances.  A disgrace to the Grand Championship for whining, not earning, his way to the top.  A disgrace, most of all, for being the face of Kyle Hayden's hypocrisy.

[He points at the camera.]

DLF: Some of us busted our asses night in and night out to earn a shot at the Grand Championship.  Me?  My "shot" was taken from me because Kyle sent Jeffrey Marsh to make damn sure I wouldn't hold that belt.  Yet you, Freebear, who had yet to win a one on one match of ANY kind here in the DCWL, were handed a Grand Championship opportunity based upon your...charm, I suppose.  It certainly isn't for your talent, considering that you were given two chances to beat a man who wasn't good enough for a title shot and FAILED both times.

[The camera zooms in.]

DLF: So as much as I hate being told what to do by the likes of a "progressive" like Kyle Hayden, I'll make an exception just this once.  It's the grandest stage in all of the DCWL.  It's in the town that made this league famous.  It's Cornerstone Revolution, an event deprived of my talents for far too long.  I may not get that depreciated tin around your shoulder, Freebear, but rest assured Maurice Thompson will be thanking me later for my part in his victory.  Bear Force One is about to be hijacked, one more time, by the greatness that is DERRICK!  L!!  FORD!!!

[With this, we cut back to ringside.]
