FOR THE
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPDREAM TEAM MCLAREN VERSUS THE CULT OF THE END
Introducing the first team: The Challengers, The Cult of the End! That is not dead which can eter-
*The power goes out with a GAH-CHUN. In the darkness of the arena, the Awesometron flickers back on and the Parts Unknown Arena looks almost...organic, monsters of varying shapes and sizes fill the arena*
*A hoard of creatures spill out from the entrance and form lines along the side of the entrance ramp*
MM?: Shamblers and Shuggoths, Deep Ones and Yith, please welcome, from Arkham, Massachusetts "The Harbinger of Chaos" Jeremy Dupoe!*A very different looking Dupoe comes through the entrence, riding a MASSIVE Flying Polyp, Dupoe appears to be Dark blue with a twisted Crown on his head and Tenticles where his mouth should be.*
JK?: Hossss, here he comesss, the man who has almost freed the Elder Gods,I tell ya Hossss, he may not have ended the world last year, but this year the stars are right!TH?:Indeeeeeed theey are King, and with only a few seals left it looks like the Great Old Ones will reclaim the earth once mooore.*As Dupoe passes the creatures on the ramp they kneel before him, when the Polyp stop in front of the ring Dupoe leaps off and lands in the ring with a thunderous thud, Blood geysers out of the turnbuckle.
Dupoe climbs a turnbuckle, crosses his arms, and looks out to the entranceway as two men emerge…*
MM?: Following Master Dupoe to the circle with four sides, at a combined weight of 584lbs: Jack Cain and… Mario Nett! *Cain and Nett reach the ring and slide in, guided somewhat by a slippery slime coating the apron. They too climb turnbuckles – opposite of each other, and they, with Dupoe, gaze on at the entranceway.*
*The lights go out and switch to black lighting. A large figure on an obsidian Segway rolls down the ramp among fog…*
MM?: And the final cultist. From beyond the realms of mortal man, weighing 350lbs, he is the Majority Shareholder of the FAWA: Disturbance! *Disturbance!BRB parks the Segway at the steps and climbs into the ring. He climbs a turnbuckle and together with Dupoe, Cain, and Nett - they roar to the skies as the Awesometron fades to black.
The lights of the Parts Unknown Arena return and all looks normal, the monsters are all gone and the only remnant of the Awesometron’s vision is the twisted crown which Dupoe hands over to one of the ringside assistants who promptly cuts himself on it, Dupoe smirks.*
JK: Dammit, it happened again, another year Dupoe has entered Gookermania in complete darkness, we gotta check the fuses in this place, I'm tellin ya!TH: I'm too sure if he did enter in darkness, you remember what seemed to appear on last year’s Gookermania DVD, while we sat in darkness, he seemed to travel to some weird dimension between worlds.*The Cult of the End look on at the now much more agreeable entranceway.*
MM: Now introducing their opponents: Dream Team McLaren! A-MER-I-CA!
Blackout and pause for five seconds. Then a miserably small firework goes off and the music plays for a second before cutting out, causing the house lights to go up.
A-MER-I-CA!
*The Dream stumbles out of a cloud of smoke, a huge smile on his face. Scott Martin follows close behind, shaking his head at his partner's antics. Soon after, David McLaren and Boiraa Ruumu Burouraa join them. The four of them stand shoulder to shoulder as pyrotechnics shoot along the stage.*
MM: Standing shoulder to shoulder at a combined weight of, well, quite a bit, they are:
From Toronto, Ontario, Canada – the Team Captain of Dream Team McLaren: David McLaren!
From Nazo no Basho, Japan – Boiraa Ruumu Burouraa!
And from Beverly, Massachusetts and from South London, England - your Freakin’ Awesome Wrestling Alliance Tag Team Champions: The Dream Team!
Dream Team McLaren! *Burouraa points to the ring and looks over at his partners. McLaren nods while The Dream begins to strut down the ramp, but Martin darts for the ring.*
TH: Dream Team McLaren wasting no time. JK: That’s the kinda action the fans want to see! *The Cult of the End climb out of the ring to clash with Dream Team McLaren.*
DING! DING! DING!
TH: The bell hasn't even finished ringing and Boiraa goes straight for Disturbance!JK: He wants his rematch and if this is how he gets it, then so be it.*The rest of the two groups close the distance quickly and an all out melee ensues. The Dream Team work together on Jeremy Dupoe with a series of kicks and chops while Cain and Nett double-team David McLaren in the corner.*
TH: The team captains being double teamed!JK: I'd guess they went in with similar strategies. It's like looking into a mirror.*Disturbance tosses Boiraa through the ropes-*
TH: Burouraa to the outside!JK: He ain't done with him yet.TH: He's taking the action to announce side!*Disturbance quickly follows Burouraa. He grabs him by the head and tries to slam it into the announce table, but Boiraa blocks it, delivering an elbow to the sternum of Disturbance and turning to deliver a Complete Shot-esque manoeuvre, dropping Disturbance face-first onto the announce table.*
TH: You call this part of the match while the action is here. There's so much going on around the ring.JK: You got it.TH: Looks like the Dream Team, the Tag Team Champions, are squaring off with the CEO's dark minions. I think Dupoe and McLaren are both down for the moment.*The Dream gives a goofy wave before they run towards Cain and Nett, ducking the strikes that are attempted and coming back off the ropes, each hitting a drop-kick on the rebound.*
TH: Down go Cain and Nett!JK: Are you taking a break, Burouraa?*The Dream team stands and high-fives each other before running to opposite sides of the ring.*
TH: The Dream Team to the ropes and... double moonsault to Cain and Nett! They make the cover!*Referee the referee looks on confused for a moment, shrugging before making a double-count:*

TH: But wait, Burouraa's got a kendo stick from beneath the ring.JK: That kendo stick saw action just a little bit ago. You can still see MiscreAnt's blood on it.TH: And McLaren with a lead pipe!*They close the distance. McLaren swings at Dupoe who blocks the shot with his chair.*
TH: Dupoe with a jab to McLaren's ribs.JK: Looks like Burouraa has a similar idea.*Boiraa has more luck on his end, delivering a vicious shot to Disturbance's ribs, striking so hard that the kendo stick breaks in the middle.*
TH: Bah gawd! The kendo stick broke!*Disturbance doubles over, allowing Boiraa to smash the kendo stick over his head, snapping it in half and sending the end flying out of the ring.*
JK: Hit the deck!TH: That almost whacked you in the face, Jesse!JK: That's why I ducked.TH: Dupoe and McLaren taking things outside.
Burouraa with a DDT to Disturbance, and Jack Cain with the big boot!JK: But here comes The Dream Team.*Retribution is swift and unflinching as Cain eats a diving European uppercut from Scott Martin whilst The Dream sweeps Cain's leg.*
TH: Dream Team McLaren fighting back. Burouraa to the apron.*Boiraa takes hold of the top rope and springboards off of it-*
TH: Burouraa taking to the skies and a double stomp to Jack Cain's face! He hooks the leg!ONE!

MM: Contestant Jack Cain has been eliminated!JK: Looks like Dream Team McLaren has first blood in this match. The Cult of the End is gonna have to fight harder now.TH: The action continues! Dupoe and McLaren duking it outside the ring!*On the outside, Dupoe throws a wild left that McLaren avoids, hitting him with a backfist of his own that sends him staggering back into the ring-post. McLaren rushes forward, leaping and delivering a high knee to Dupoe's jaw with the aid of the ring steps. He laughs, shoving Dupoe to the floor with his foot before climbing back into the ring. His amusement doesn't last long as Nett comes barrelling into the corner, crushing McLaren against the turnbuckle with a crossbody.*
JK: Dupoe is a master strategist. David McLaren had the mind games and was a stealthy guy, but now that they are in the ring together we're seeing what actually happens.TH: But he came with friends and they scored the first fall.
Dream Team Drop Kick to Mario Nett!*Mario Nett leans in the corner.*
JK: They ain't done with him. Good thing he has a new body.*Together Martin and Dream pull Nett out of the corner, Martin turns, setting Nett up for the Name Maker as Dream runs into the ropes, coming back and going low to deliver a shoulder block to Nett's knee, sending him falling forward and completing the manoeuvre, his skull crashes into the mat and together they roll him over.*
TH: Excellent teamwork. Scott Martin makes the cover:
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!MM: Contestant Mario Nett has been eliminated! *The Dream Team high-five each other once again, standing up and looking around.*
JK: Things are looking bad for the Cult of the End. Could this be destiny? Fate? Dupoe might put too much faith in that tome of his.TH: Dream Team McLaren has taken out half of the Cult of the End, but could the two most dangerous members still remain?*Martin gestures to Dupoe on the outside and then to Disturbance who appears to be playing possum in the corner. He holds up four fingers and exchanges grins with Dream as the numbers advantage dawns on them. Dream looks at Martin.*
THE DREAM: I got this.TH: The Dream engaging Disturbance.*The Dream reaching down to grab Disturbance, but Disturbance pulls Dream forward and bouncing his head off of the ringpost, leaving him dangling off the second rope in the corner.*
JK: Disturbance one step ahead with a game of possum and it paid off.TH: He's going for Martin! Martin with a roundhouse! Disturbance ducks and he makes for the ropes.
Shoulder block, and the Dream Team is down!JK: He ain't done, Hoss.TH: To the ropes, he's ready with the Majority Shareholder's Boiler Room Bomb, but McLaren make the save!*David McLaren who drops Disturbance with a clothesline.

TWO!
TH: Burouraa makes the save!JK: But here comes Dupoe!*Jeremy Dupoe trades shots with Scott Martin. Burouraa and Disturbance stand at the same time.*
TH: Back to this grudge match within a match.JK: It didn't work out so well last time for Boiraa Ruumu Burouraa. He fights with too much honor.*Boiraa throws a discuss elbow that catches Disturbance on the jaw, staggering him. Boiraa turns and runs into the ropes, coming back and attempting a bicycle kick.

ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
MM: Contestant Boiraa Ruumu Burouraa has been eliminated! TH: Disturbance with the first elimination! A miscarriage of justice.JK: It's the Reign of Chaos, Gorilla. Every wrestler has incentive to compete with dirty tactics.*Disturbance shoves Boiraa under the bottom rope and out of the ring with a grin, turning and-*
TH: The Dream is back! Boot to Disturbance's face! The Dream looks busted wide open!JK: It had to be that nasty bump he took against the ring post earlier.*The Dream yells like a madman as he begins to rain punches down on Disturbance.*
TH: Well he's taking it out on Disturbance.JK: Do you think Disturbance cares? It's not his body. Any damage he takes? He can pass the buck to Boiler Room Brawler.TH: Be that as it may, it looks like Martin's not doing too bad for himself right now.*The other half of The Dream Team seems to have cornered Dupoe as he delivers chops and forearms to him. He delivers a nasty elbow to Dupoe's jaw before backing up and charging back, leaping to deliver a splash-like manoeuvre in the corner. Nobody's home however, as Dupoe ducks out leaving Martin on the top of the turnbuckle.*
JK: Good timing by the CEO.*Dupoe ducks out of the ring, stepping onto the apron, beginning to punch Martin straight in the mug over and over, rattling him for long enough to get him onto his shoulders.*

ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
MM: Contestant Scott Martin has been eliminated! JK: Dupoe's looking more confident now. This match is even again. Two to two.TH: One half of the Dream Team is out.

TH: So you're saying that if BRB is well and truly cursed that it may help The Dream?JK: Yes.*The Dream stands to the side of the downed Disturbance and jumps up for a standing moonsault.*

If the FAWA ends, well, where will the pay checks come from?TH: Oh Jesse...*The Dream gets up from Disturbance. He heads up to the top rope.*

That was three hundred and fifty pounds of sudden gravity slamming The Dream down.*Disturbance stands over The Dream, who pounds his own fist into the mat.*
MM: Here are your winners: The Cult of the End! And your new Freakin' Awesome Wrestling Alliance Tag Team Champions: Jeremy Dupoe and Disturbance!*Jeremy Dupoe slides into the ring to join Disturbance!BRB as the FAWA Tag Team belts are handed to them.*
NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
JEREMY DUPOE & DISTURBANCE
TH: Dream Team McLaren have lost to the Cult of the End. Is all hope gone from the FAWA?JK: I don't know, but it feels like a dark day has descended. Jeremy Dupoe spoke of four more seals. Is this the latest? How could it possibly get worse? How can this not be the end right here?TH: I have no idea, but we're only halfway through Gookermania VI and we are outta time. We'll return with Part 2 when Antihero is back in the ring to take on William "The General of Wrestling" Anderson for the FAN Forums Championship, Seth Drakin finally gets his match against Jonathan Michaels in a Hell in a Cell match, and the now former Television Champ Tobias Madoc Kingsley, the 2013 Battle Bowl winner, takes on the World Heavyweight Champion Connor Mackenzie.
