Gauntlet Match
Frank Apollo vs. FTW


Mike: If there hasn't already been enough, for lack of
a better term, CHAOS, here tonight, our main event
will push us way over the quota! Every individual he
will face, every belt is at stake, but more
importantly, Frank Apollo may be putting his career in
jeopardy...

Vince: Frank Apollo vs. FTW.... sounds like the title
of a Supreme Court case. I got news for Franky though,
he may be appealing to a higher court, namely St.
Peter, after the punishment he endures tonight!

[["Everything Sucks" by Reel Big Fish plays and the
fans cheer adamantly as Frank Apollo walks out wearing
a Hawaiian shirt, and he's followed by MoG; even H-POC
rolls along down the ramp, screaming at the fans
"Beware my deadly flying cross body!" Apollo stands
and awaits his first opponent. "Do You Smell What The
Rock Is Cookin'?" blares in the arena and the crowd
explodes as The Rock walks to the ring. He arches the
eyebrow, the climbs inside and begins drilling Apollo
with sharp right hands. The fans are chanting "Rocky"
and The Rock closes his eyes and acts like he's
smelling the air; The Rock then licks his palm, nails
Apollo, who bounces off the ropes, and The Rock hooks
him for Rock Bottom- but Apollo counters into a
single-arm DDT! Frank hooks The Rock's leg for the
1-2-3]]

Vince: I don't believe it; he just beat The Rock!

[[The Godfather's music plays and he runs to the ring,
slides inside, and levels Frank Apollo with a
clothesline. GF picks Frank up for the Pimp Drop, but
Apollo hangs onto the Godfather's wrist and executes
the arm-whip. GF climbs back to his feet but runs
right into Ska's the Limit! Apollo covers again,
1..2..3. Eerie music immediately plays and the
Firestarter and Lucifer walk down the ramp together.
Lucifer gets in the ring first, and takes a forearm
shot from Apollo right to the jaw. Apollo sends
Lucifer against the ropes and connects with a spinning
heel kick. Lucifer is down and Frank goes to the top
rope- Flying Squirrel, 1..2..3! Apollo has won three
in a row, but Lucifer doesn't move. Frank looks to the
crowd, shrugs his shoulders, and goes up top for
another Flying Squirrel. But the Firestarter climbs in
as Frank gets up top, and the Firestarter grabs Apollo
and nails HELL from the top turnbuckle! He covers
Frank Apollo, 1..2..3]]

Vince: Hahaha! So much for your gauntlet Frank! Hit
the showers!

Mike: I don't think you're quite clear on the rules
DelRoy; Apollo has to keep fighting, EVERYONE, win,
lose, or draw! He has to run the whole gauntlet!

Vince: Fine, if he wants to take years off his life,
he's simple saving me the trouble of doing it!

[[The Firestarter and Lucifer leave laughing, and a
car crashes over the PA and Mankind makes his way down
to the ring to a huge pop. Mankind rolls in the ring
and drags the weary Frank Apollo to the corner, hooks
him upside down, gets a running start, and delivers
the Tree of Woe. Frank falls off the turnbuckle and
Mankind drops a knee on his head. MoG has seen enough
and jumps onto the apron, and begins ripping Mankind's
hair out. Mankind just laughs and starts ripping MoG's
and his own hair out and then decks MoG right in the
mouth, sending the feline all the way into the first
row of seats. Frank is up, and Mankind reaches in his
sweat pants and reveals Socko. He puts it on and
shoves his fingers into Frank's gullet. The ref is
checking Frank Apollo, and he's out. Mankind leaves
victorious and Apollo is unconscious in the center of
the ring. Just then the "Batman" theme, replace with
the word "Bugeye" plays and Bugeye walks out with
Andre Wendell, who's carrying the Funk Force Stick.
Bugeye takes the stick, slowly, quitely, climbs inside
the ring, and tip toes around Frank Apollo. Bugeye
pokes Frank a little, prods him with the Funk Force
Stick like roadkill on the highway, and when Bugeye is
certain Frank is out, he drops down for the cover and
the 1-2-3!!!]]

Mike: Now c'mon damnit, that just isn't right!

Vince: This is really sad.

[[Bugeye jumps out of the ring, runs over to the
Spanish announce table and high fives a frightened
Tito Santana, and then celebrates with Andre Wendell
all the way to the back. Apollo is finally coming
around, when "Glycerine" plays and "Cruel" Cedric
Tyger walks down the ramp. Apollo is stumbling around
the ring, Tyger grabs him, and nails the Pure Cruelty!
Tyger covers and just like that gets the 1-2-3. The
theme from "Psycho" plays and Sid makes his way to the
ring, looking extremely pissed. He glares at Tyger as
they pass each other, and Sid climbs inside just in
time to set Apollo up for and deliver a powerbomb. Sid
looks at the crumpled heap that is Apollo, picks him
up, and powerbombs him again! The crowd is going
crazy, they are behind Apollo but Sid's awesome
display is too much to resist, and they demand one
more. Sid obliges, lifts Frank Apollo up, and plants
him a third time. Sid covers with one foot for the
1-2-3]]

Vince: Will somebody tell this idiot Apollo to get the
hell out of there before every wrestler and their
brother picks up another "W"?

[[D'Lo Brown runs out, head bobbing, and immediately
goes to the top rope and nails the Lo Down for the
1-2-3. Apollo isn't moving still, and the next man on
the scene is newcomer Big Boy. Right away he hits the
"Super Size It" and pins Apollo's shoulders to the
mat, 1, 2, 3. The Horrible Piece of Chalk gets pissed
off and leaps to the top rope and executes a flying
cross body onto Big Boy- only Big Boy opens his mouth
and swallows H-POC whole! Big Boy leaves with Lil'
Homie, and the DX music hits as the Tag Team Champions
Road Dogg and Joey D make their way down the aisle.
Suddenly the No Limit Soldiers run out and attack Road
Dogg and Joey D from behind. The four never make it to
the squared circle, and brawl to the back, giving
Frank Apollo a chance to recover, if possible. After
about 30 seconds, "Du Hast" comes on and Gunter
Wallace walks to the ring. He climbs up on the apron
and taunts the fans, turns around, and gets nailed in
the mush with Ska's the Limit, sending him flying off
the apron into the steel guardrail!!! Frank climbs to
the top rope and nails a missile dropkick. Apollo then
rolls Wallace back in the ring for an amazing 1-2-3!]]


Mike: Frank Apollo gets the win, and he may be getting
that much-needed second wind!

[[Just then Psychotic runs wildly to the ring, wearing
a straight jacket. He doesn't even know what's going
on, he's just screaming. Then he dives out of the
ring, flips over the safety rail and darts in and out
of people in the crowd. A group of men in white coats
come sprinting down the ramp and leap the barricade in
pursuit. Frank Apollo gets another respite until "When
Worlds Collide" plays, and the fans go ballistic as
Daddy Mack reappears to the loudest ovation of the
night. He's walking down the aisle when out of nowhere
Alex Archer runs up and drills him with a steel chair!
DM is out cold and Archer, his flesh bright red and
charred in places, goes to the ring after Apollo.
Archer grabs Apollo and tries to whip him against the
ropes, but FA reverses and Archer bounces off and
right back into a flying forearm smash from Frank.
Apollo covers, 1..2... kickout. Archer, already having
sustained injuries, is still down though, and Daddy
Mack gets up and climbs in the ring. He goes over to
Archer and slaps the Mack Attack on, sending Archer
into a frenzy of agony. Frank Apollo looks at Daddy
Mack with a quizzical expression, starts to walk away,
and then fires back with Ska's the Limit right between
the eyes of Daddy Mack! Apollo covers DM, 1..2..3!
Frank kicks both men out of the ring to the floor and
the crowd is ecstatic]]

Vince: How is this guy even still alive?! Somebody
take him out already!

[[The Big Bossman then appears and runs to the ring,
ducks a clothesline attempt by Frank, bounces back
while Apollo leap frog's him, turns around, and gets
nailed with Ska's the Limit once more! Frank hooks
Bossman's leg for the easy 1-2-3. Frank Apollo, weary
and battered, beckons on his next opponent, and out of
the back runs BOTH Deltona Bad Boys. Drew Mack and the
Lamb hit the ring, double teaming Apollo. The ref is
calling for the bell, disqualifying both men, but they
don't seem to mind as they stomp away at Apollo. The
Lamb lifts Frank up into the agonizing Rack O' Lamb,
and then Drew grabs Frank's head from there and nails
the Dazzler in a "Deltona" Death Drop of sorts! The
two spit on Apollo and leave the ring. Then the
countdown comes on the titantron, hits zero, and out
walks Chris Jericho! He sees the window of opportunity
on Apollo, races down to the ring, and applies the
Liontamer. Jericho orders the ref to ask Frank, and
when Apollo doesn't answer, he awards the victory to
Y2J. Jericho has his hand raised multiple times as
Frank Apollo is in a world of hurt. Jericho leaves and
Olympus runs out to the ring, throws off his olive
branch crown, takes Apollo to the second rope, and
Zeusenates him with ease! Olympus covers and gets the
1..2..3. As he is leaving Sid appears in the doorway
and the crowd is cheering for Sid. Olympus makes a
break for it and dives into the stands, with Sid hot
on his trail]]

Mike: Frank Apollo has taken an UNGODLY amount of
punishment here, it's amazing he's won any matches at
all with the beating he's endured. I guess it can't
get any worse though-

[[Glass shatters and the fans explode as Stone Cold
Steve Austin stomps down the aisle and climbs in the
ring. Frank is slowly getting to his feet, when Austin
shows him the fingers, buries the boot in Apollo's
stomach, and nails the Stunner! SCSA covers,
1..2..3!!!]]

Vince: Could you be any more wrong?

[["Sexual Chocolate" plays and everyone boos as Mark
Henry waddles out to the ring. He picks Frank up with
ease and delivers a ring-shaking running powerslam. SC
pins Frank for the 1..2..3. Kidman runs out next,
surmounts the top turnbuckle, and nails a shooting
star press on the downed Frank Apollo for another easy
1-2-3 victory. The fight is slipping out of Apollo
now, as Sting makes his entrance, slaps on the
Scorpion Death Lock, and gets a "submission" out of
the lifeless Frank Apollo. Bizarro runs out toting the
United States title, and he leaps to the top rope as
well. Everyone know what's coming, but Bizarro adds
insult to injury by strapping the belt around his
chest and connecting with the Bizarre Splash with the
U.S. title! Frank convulses in pain, and Bizarro
covers for the 1, 2, 3. Bizarro exits and "I Will Be
the Very Best" comes on. Meowth and Jesse start down
the ramp but out of nowhere Bugeye demolishes Meowth
with the Funk Force Stick! Jesse is screaming as
Bugeye continues to cane Meowth. Finally security
restrains Bugeye and Meowth is taken out on a
stretcher]]

Mike: This whole place has turned into a warzone!

[["No Shelter" starts up and the boos start up. Frank
Apollo is up now, holding onto the ropes for leverage,
as Crimson walks to the ring with a smile on his face.
Crimson climbs inside and lays the boots to Frank
Apollo with a vengeance. He grabs Apollo by the throat
and damn near chokeslams him through the mat. Crimson
picks Frank Apollo up and chokeslams him with
authority again. It's getting to be a massacre, when
all of a sudden the titantron comes on.]]


Mike: Oh what the hell is this?

[[On the screen Big Boy is in a bathroom stall taking
a shit. He finishes, and flushes, but an object jumps
out of the toilet. The titantron goes blank and
Crimson looks confused, then continues to stomp Frank
Apollo. Suddenly, soggy and feces stained, the
Horrible Piece of Chalk rolls to the ring! It leaps to
the top turnbuckle, jumps off, and catches an
unsuspecting Crimson with a flying cross body!!! Frank
Apollo rolls the stunned Crimson up, 1..2..3! Crimson
can't believe it! He's running around the ring chasing
H-POC, which is rolling incredibly fast out of the
arena. Frank is on his feet as "Bullet With Butterfly
Wings" plays and "Deadly" Darren Dark makes his way to
the ring. He gets in and ducks a lariot by FA, and
nails a spinning heel kick on the exhausted Apollo.
Dark goes for the cover, 1..2.. Frank is able to kick
out. Dark forces Apollo into the corner, sets him on
the top rope, and executes a hurricanranna into a pin,
1..2..3. Darren Dark defeats Frank Apollo, who's
holding his neck in pain. "Bawitdaba" starts to play
and Blindd runs down to the ring and immediately
begins stomping the neck of Apollo. Blindd lifts Frank
up and puts him in the abdominal stretch, sending a
sharp pain from the base of Apollo's neck all the way
down his spine. Blindd is yelling at Frank to tap out,
when MoG the Cat slowly climbs out of the first row.
He sees what's happening, jumps in the ring, and claws
Blindd right in the eyes, "blindding" him! Frank kicks
Blindd below the belt, knocking him down, and MoG goes
up top and connects with the 1080 splash! Frank Apollo
covers Blindd, 1..2..3]]

Vince: This isn't happening... this guy should be
dead! Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, DEAD!

[[The titantron counts down once more, this time to-]]


CY2K


[[The fans go crazy as the "Courtesy Killer" walks to
ringside. Frank is eyeing Cy, waiting to take on his
best friend, when the Prez bursts out of the back and
demolishes Cy Kopath with a steel chair! The Prez
continues to pound Cy with the chair, over and over
and over and over again. Security runs out to restrain
the President. Cy Kopath is a bloody heap atop the
entrance ramp, and the Prez is waiving the chair like
a lunatic as security leads him away. Frank Apollo
stands in the ring, having done battle with every FTW
superstar... all, but one. "Crimson Grin" starts to
play and the Heavyweight Champion of the World arrives
on the scene. Scorpion walks to the ring, and once
inside, begins trading shots with Frank Apollo. Back
and forth they go, finally Scorp gains the advantage
with a knee to Frank's midsection. Scorpion hooks
Frank and arches over in the Northern Lights suplex,
1..2.. Frank escapes. Scorpion lifts Frank up again
and delivers a wicked brainbuster, and pins FA, 1..2..
Apollo barely gets the shoulder up. Scorpion whips
Apollo into the buckle and sets him up top. The crowd
is really into it, in awe of the offense of Scorpion
and the plain and simple awesome show Frank Apollo has
put on. Scorpion climbs up top as well, lifts Apollo,
and executes a fallaway slam from the top rope!
Scorpion hooks Frank's leg, 1..2.. Apollo manages to
escape. Scorpion has had enough and he stalks Frank
Apollo as he slowly gets up...]]

Mike: Apollo is up, Scorpion spins him around, boot to
the gut, Scorp goes for the Z'Ha'Dum but Apollo shoves
him into the ropes, Scorpion bounces back- Ska's the
Limit!!! Frank wearily goes to the corner and ascends
the turnbuckle. He points to the crowd and leaps,
nailind the Flying Squirrel on Scorpion!!! Frank pins
Scorpion, 1.... 2.... 3!!!!! Frank Apollo has run the
gauntlet, Frank Apollo has taken thrashing after
thrashing, and Frank Apollo has won the FTW
Heavyweight Championship of the World!!!

Your winner, and NEW FTW World Champion, Frank Apollo
