SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: COLT
TH: Alright ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time for one of our marquee matches for the night.JK: Wait, what about the World Heavyweight Champion? That's our main event, Hoss!TH: Right. We probably ought to check back in with Fred G. Neric. Fred?TH: Do you know about any arrivals in the Parts Unknown Arena Parking Lot?TH: Ambulances?TH: Oh, right.TH: Thank you Fred.JK: The black mark on Gookermania V is only going to get darker.TH: At least Jonathan Michaels nor Michael Hayden will be handed the belt just like that.JK: So let's get to the next match: the final farewell of Ryan Bergman.*"Time" by Hans Zimmer starts playing as a video plays, chronicling the career of Ryan Bergman:
Seth Drakin goes to the turnbuckle and yells at Little Naitch for getting involved. However, Seth doesn’t realize that Jazzman is getting up. Little Naitch then helps the other referee to the back while a new referee comes down to the ring. Jazzman gets up and hits Seth Drakin with the Takin’ The A Train. Jazzman falls over on top of Seth Drakin and the referee makes the pin.

The winner of this match …..and NEW World Heavyweight Champion……………JAZZMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!*We see Ryan Bergman walking to the gorilla position slowly as the video jump cuts*
There you go folks, the past of this company up in flames. I am the champion of the new age. I've defeated all the ties to the beginning of this compnay and now it's time to tie-up the last end. The hand picked boy who would be king. Motor-Colt's spiritual successor Aaron Enigma. I'll see you at King of Wrestlecrap Aaron, just be sure you don't go down in flames.*Bergman continues the slow walk to the curtain as the video jump cuts again
Now, I know you're expecting me to make this some kind of challenge for the next big event, but I'm not going to do that Seth, you see something as big as Bergman v. Drakin doesn't deserve to be on just any show, it needs its proper place and there is no better place than the show of shows, the spectacle of spectacles, the showcase of the immortals, the place where legends dare only to tread, I speak of Gookermania V.
So Seth, let tonight be the night where it is written in the long story that is this federation that I, Ryan Bergman, challenged Seth Drakin for a match on the grandest stage of all... Gookermania V.
*Bergman begins walking up the curtain as the video cuts once more*
So Seth, you are probably wondering then how do we know that this is the end of this feud, this battle that we have seemingly fought since the start of this company and the answer to that is simple. This is it for me Seth, my contract ends the day after Gookermania and I am not going to renew it. The way I see it Seth if I beat you I have done my job. I have protected the legacy of this company by sending out the first big shot against The Fallen. I have honored the legacy of the first group of us to set this place on fire and I can walk away knowing that I did them a favor. However if I lose I do not want to be a part of this company that you are set on creating. I will not be made a fool of as the embers of the past are put out by this new twisted future.
Seth, Gookermania V will be the end of this rivalry. It is a battle of past, present, and future. It is truly the end of an era, one way or another.
*Bergman signs the contract*
The die is cast. Destiny waits at Gookermania V.*Ryan Bergman stand behind the curtain, decked in white trunks and a white jacket, preparing to here his music kick in for the last time.*
"Once more into the fray.
Into the last good fight I'll ever know.
Live and die on this day.
Live and die on this day.
*The guys in the back give him a pat on the the back as he bursts through the curtain to the cheer of the audience, beginning a slow walk to the ring. As he goes he makes sure to high five everyone person with their hand out, even around ringside, before getting in the ring*
*The lights go dark and the familiar voice begins to whisper.
"You know that time in your life that single moment that defines exactly who you are? Well that only stings for a second".Choose Your Fate - Escape the Fate
*A single spotlight finds Colt standing in the middle of the ring, he removes his cape and reveals his referee shirt.*
*Hero - Pop Evil*
*Seth Drakin walks out from the back and slowly walks to the ring, staring intently at Bergman, ignoring everything and everyone else.*

The unofficial fourth member of The Fallen! Down goes Colt! What is the meaning of this?JK: I think I get it now, Hoss. Drakin is out to destroy the FAWA. What better way to make a statement than by destroying an FAWA legend on his way out?*Bergman, now on his feet, circles around with Drakin...*
JK: Drakin has already seen Square fall to Gus Richlen, and for all we know even he doesn't know why Ryan Blood is missing.TH: We know why Ryan Blood is missing: he wants to be the main event all of the time. Does Drakin know of his whereabouts or not? Why does it matter?JK: He could be panicking. It could just be himself and the pipe wrench now.*Drakin swings for Bergman, who ducks and waistlocks Drakin from behind...*

Two!
No!JK: Bergman might have had it if Colt didn't shake a few more cobwebs out of his head.TH: Isn't he going to disqualify Colt for that assault with a foreign object?JK: It looks like he's going to let Bergman finish this - win or lose.TH: A dangerous precedent.*Bergman gets up and rolls Drakin back into the ring, leaving the pipe wrench behind...*
TH: Bergman chooses the high road once again.JK: Screw the high road.TH: You're not the retiring legend.*Bergman grabs one of Bergman's legs and looks around the arena...*
TH: It looks like it's time for Bergman to end this!JK: But... he's made no work on those legs!TH: Figure Four!*Bergman applies the Figure Four Leg Lock onto Drakin.*
TH: He might not need to if this works. Drakin might be too out of it to resist for long.JK: But Drakin is strong enough to force himself to the ropes, even if only a little by little.TH: Until he reaches those ropes, Drakin's legs are in peril.JK: Last I checked, he has two rope breaks left.TH: This match was blown wide open by the scuffle outside the ring. Who knows how Colt will rule now?*Drakin reaches for the ropes...*

TH: Bergman doing the right thing, no matter the cost.*Drakin limps back to his feet as Bergman charges him- Drakin stop him with a kick to the stomach...*
TH: Drakin is ready to end this. Here comes the- what?*Colt prods Drakin on the shoulder. Drakin turns around into an inverted headlock and is lifted into the air...*
JK: The Story on Page One! Colt's going for-TH: No!*Drakin reverses and lands on his feet. He knees Colt in belly and stands over
him...*
JK: Looks like it will be The Tale's End for two men tonight!TH: But Colt is the referee? The hell is Drakin think- Snapmare Driver!
Snapmare Driver! Bergman's old finisher! Drakin is down, and Colt is still up!
Bergman hooks the leg!
One!
Two!
Thr-No!*Drakin's hand grips a rope.*
JK: Drakin's one lucky sonuvabitch!TH: Drakin with his final rope break. Bergman had him dead to rights right there, King!JK: He would have if it weren't for the ropes. Drakin played by Colt's rules right there!TH: But Colt won't disqualify either man! He wants to see a winner!JK: He wants to see a winner and he wanted to see a clean match but we can't always get what we want; not even at Gookermania!*Drakin drags himself back to his feet as Bergman charges. Drakin drops down on the second rope-*
TH: Ryan Bergman to the outside!JK: Drakin is getting that pipe wrench now!TH: Will Colt tolerate this?JK: I think he will, actually.*Drakin comes around the corner with the pipe wrench while Bergman gets up...*
TH: Drakin with a charge!JK: Watch out Bergman!*Bergman ducks down and catches Drakin with an Alley Oop, sending Drakin plummeting face first into the pipe wrench.*
TH: Amazing reversal from Ryan Bergman! Seth Drakin is busted wide open!JK: That won't stop him in the least. Drakin is determined to ruin this retirement now!TH: Bergman returns to the ring!JK: And Drakin is not far behind him. He's just like BRB was with that thing - he wont' give up until he gets one good hit in with that big, massive, pipe wrench!*Drakin slides into the ring and-
TH: A big, massive surprise to Bergman's solar plexus!*Bergman doubles over, and then-*
TH: Drakin with another DDT!JK: He's not going for the cover?TH: I don't think so...*Drakin stands over the fallen Bergman and looks around the Parts Unknown Arena before lifting up Bergman for-*
TH: The Inquisition! Drakin with The Inquisition to Ryan Bergman and he's got that pipe wrench crushing his throat in the process. Good Gawd Almighty!JK: He's wearing the Crimson Mask and he is the Red Death tonight. He is here to kill the legend of Ryan Bergman and to demoralize the FAWA Galaxy as a result of it.TH: Bergman cannot let that happen and neither should Colt!JK: Bergman's trying, but he can't properly gauge his surroundings because of that pipe wrench!TH: Bergman's actually within leg's reach of the ropes if he only knew!JK: He'll try to reach anything at this point!TH: What's Colt doing?JK: He's trying to take away the pipe wrench. He wants honor in this ring!*Colt struggles with Drakin for the pipe wrench when Bergman's leg reaches the ropes...*
TH: He made it!JK: But can Colt see it?TH: He's telling Drakin to release Bergman, but Drakin's holding on!JK: How much more testing can Colt take from Drakin before-*Colt thrusts the pipe wrench - still in Drakin's grip - towards Drakin, knocking off of Bergman, who school boy pins Drakin.*
TH: Bergman's got Drakin!
One!
Two!
Th- No!JK: He's still sputtered out by The Inquisition. It's getting desperate for Ryan Bergman. What's he got left?
*Bergman stumbles to his feet, as does Drakin, who released the pipe wrench...*
TH: Dont do it, Bergman!
JK: He's going for it Hoss! He has to at this point!
*Bergman darts for the pipe wrench, as does Drakin. Bergman responds with-*
TH: Eleventh Hour Arm drag! Drakin to the ropes!
JK: Sometimes it's back to bas-
*Bergman runs up and double knees Drakin in the back...*

*DING! DING! DING!*
MM: Here is your winner as a result of apinfall:
Ryan... Bergman...
TH: He did it! Ryan Bergman retires on a high note...
JK: What a roller coaster ride that Seth Drakin did his damnedest to derail.
*Colt rolls Bergman out of the ring along with the pipe wrench...*
TH: A Gookermania moment if I ever saw one...
JK: It's not over yet, Hoss.
*Colt stares at Bergman before they hug...*
JK: Now it's been a Gookermania moment. Let's just soak it in, shall we?
TH: Sure thing, King.
*Ryan Bergman stands alone in the ring as the crowd rises to their feet to give him a standing ovation. He gets on the turnbuckles and salutes the fans before standing again in the center of the ring.*
*He sits down in the center of the ring and begins to remove his boots, leaving them in the center of the ring as he begins walking up the ramp…*
*When he reaches the top he takes one look back at the ring with tears starting to well up in his eyes, he salutes the fans one final time and walks through the curtain as the ringside camera focuses on the shoes left behind.*
