You can hear the chattering of a large crowd, but no visuals. As a cold, blue spotlight clicks on over a blocky “U”, the opening strains of “Red Cold River” by Breaking Benjamin slowly tease the opening. A slow, CO2 mist curls out from around the letters as the fans start to get excited. Spotlights continue to flick on over subsequent letters, “G,” “W,” “C,” and when Ben Burnley screams “RUN” to usher in the song proper, the stage lights up with six-foot blue flames and the word “Chill” is emblazoned in black across the company letters. The fans hit their feet as pyros fly, and we’re taken to ringside to join our broadcast team of Aaron Reese, "The Drunken Buzzsaw" Chaos and Daniel Hanson.
Reese: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the sixth episode of UGWC CHILL!! I’m your host Aaron Reese! To my left is the most colorful colorman in the business, UGWC legend and Hall of Fame member, “The Drunken Buzzsaw”, Chaos.
Chaos: Yo.
Reese: And to my left is the often verbose but infrequently insightful Daniel Hanson.
Hanson: We’re here at the North Charleston Arena, here in South Carolina!
Reese: Last week was Infinity, but now it’s time for Chill! Let’s get the action underway!
Hanson: I can’t believe that we’re starting a show with such stupidity.
Chaos: I can’t believe that we still pay you.
Hanson: I can’t believe that you’re not dead from alcohol poisoning yet.
Chaos: It’s from honest living, Hanson. It’s why I’m still allowed in Thailand…
Hanson: I hate you.
Chaos: I’ll drink to that.
Reese: I will concede that this is a very unconventional match. That said, I think it’s one of the things that makes “Chill” such an exciting show.
Hanson: I’m what makes this an exciting show. Otherwise it’s total crap.
Chaos: You’re only here because traditional wrestling commentary includes a smarmy and obnoxious dipshit at the table.
Hanson: Why would that require me?
Chaos: It doesn’t. It’s just that you were unsurprisingly still available.
Hanson: They met the “dipshit” quota with you.
Chaos: Yes, but I’m an entertaining and lovable son of a bitch.
Hanson: I beg to differ.
Chaos: Don’t protest too hard…
Reese: Gentlemen, if we could get back to the opening match…
Chaos: Sure. Hanson was being an ass. I was correcting him.
Reese: That’s Hanson. Let’s focus on what matters, the match.
Chaos: Works for me.
Hanson: I don’t get to rebut?
Reese: No.
Hanson: That’s not fair!
Chaos: Suck it up, Sally. No one gives a shit what you think anyway.
Reese: This has the potential to be one of the strangest matches we’ve ever seen in UGWC.
Chaos: That’s saying something when we have “penguin on a pole” matches and we did a match in an old Mill.
Reese: True enough. We’ve never seen a “Cage of Justice” match and based on what I’m seeing at ringside, not to mention our Referee, this is going to be…
Hanson: Stupid. Which matches both people who are fighting in it.
Chaos: You talk a lot of shit for guy who just sits behind a table. Until you step in the ring, shut your fuckin hole.
Hanson: Why don’t you ever talk to Reese that way?
Chaos: Because he’s not a miserable asshole.
Reese: Thanks.
Chaos: Don’t mention it.
Hanson: Has anyone noticed how our Referee is dressed?
Chaos: The wig makes it hard to miss.
Hanson: I figured that you might be addled with all of the booze that you consume.
Reese: And you wonder why he wants to drive your head through the floor.
Hanson: I’ve always assumed that it’s because he’s a miserable prick who’s jealous that the people in the ring can still go, while his broken ass is stuck at an announcing table.
Reese: Can I ask you a favor, Chaos?
Chaos: Yeah.
Reese: Warn me when you want to reach over here and rip his face off.
Chaos: Sure.
Reese: Our Referee, Sebastian Kane, is dressed up like an English Barrister, complete with wig and gown.
Chaos: I do like his big hammer.
Hanson: That’s a gavel, you moron.
Chaos: I know what it’s called. If you don’t watch it, I’m going to take it from him and plant it between your eyes.
Hanson: What I don’t get is why he’s sitting in a weird elevated table.
Reese: It’s the Judge’s table.
Hanson: I don’t get it.
Chaos: Didn’t you read the run sheet? And you accuse me of being unprofessional.
Reese: He’s got you there.
Hanson: Shut up.
Reese: Do your job.
Chaos: You’re such a tool, Hanson.
Reese: The premise of the match is that the referee sits at the Judge’s table. A pin can happen in two ways, either the standard pin type, except that the Referee hits his gavel on the table three times, or one participant is locked in handcuffs and takes his enemy’s finishing move. We’ve thrown in a bit of an American twist in that we have two of our own Security dressed up as Police and the loser will be lead out of the cage in handcuffs and taken away in a squad car.
Hanson: It’s weird and pointless, sort of like both participants. Why not just let them demolish each other with nightsticks? It would be so much more entertaining.
Chaos: I’d be more entertained if they beat your ass into the mat with nightsticks.
Hanson: I hate you.
Chaos: Fuck you very much, too.
Reese: Just in time, here’s Mitchell with the ring introductions.
Mitchell Dennis: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is for ONE FALL and is a “Cage of Justice” Match! Introducing first…
“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck.
Mitchell Dennis: From Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!
He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.
Hanson: I don’t get why the fans cheer this idiot.
Reese: They love his effort and the fact that he’s so honorable.
Hanson: He’s a chump.
Reese: I don’t see you getting in the ring.
Hanson: I’m too good for that.
Chaos: “Too good”? You should quit while you’re ahead.
Hanson: Seriously. Wrestling is for people who are
Reese: A lot tougher than we are, Hanson.
Chaos: Nice save, Reese. You owe him for bailing your weasley ass out of the hole you were digging it into, Hanson.
Reese: I think that the fans will be divided for this match as the man he’s facing is also insanely popular.
Hanson: He’s also an idiot.
Chaos: I’m normally the miserable bastard who hates everyone. What crawled up your skirt today?
Hanson: I have to sit here and watch a mentally defective foreign guy who pukes when he’s nervous facing a walking cartoon. I hate both and I hate both of them.
Reese: You don’t like anyone.
Hanson: I love myself.
Chaos: That’s only because everyone else detests you.
Reese: True. Let’s go the ring for the Captain’s entrance!
Hanson: I don’t get to rebut that insult?
Reese and Chaos: NO.
Hanson: I hate both of you so much.
Mitchell Dennis: And his opponent…
As the music hits and strobe lights flash freneticall, The Captain arrives on the stage wearing a pink vinyl jacket that has been airbrushed with “80” in periwinkle and bedazzled, tassels hanging from the entire length of his arms. The jacket has remarkable shoulder pads which are covered by purple epaulets, and giant gold buttons line the front though he wears it opened. His facepaint takes on the shape of a comically large, brightly colored eyepatch over his right eye. He wears a headband under his severely teased blond hair, featuring a blue anchor over a red rising sun. On his right hand is a disco-ball-esque glove. His Zubaz tear-away pants feature blue stripes before they disappear into his white, calf-high, heeled boots. Halfway down the ramp, he produces a ludicrously long, telescoping, brass spyglass, and looks over the crowd. He affects a surprised look, then points into the stands, and invites a “First Mate” (what he calls his fans) down to help him remove his extra attire. The fan (always a female) helps him remove his jacket, headband, and pants to reveal his bright yellow trunks, yellow tassels around his biceps, and yellow wrist tape.
Mitchell Dennis: Ladies and gentlemen, he is CAPTAIN EIGHTEEEEEEEES!!!
Reese: The Captain is fired up!
Hanson: That’s because he’s brain dead.
Reese: This is going to be a long night.
Chaos: Can we get someone from the back to change Hanson’s diaper?
Hanson: My diaper is fine. I checked it before we came out here.
Reese: Are you sure...wait..what?
Chaos: Are you serious?
Hanson: Don’t judge me.
Chaos: We judged you LONG before this.
Reese: Moving on...Referee Sebastian Kane is behind his elevated desk and we’re ready to go!
Hanson: I don’t believe that I have to call this…
Reese: The bell rings and the two men take a quick look at the handcuffs that are clipped to their respective corners, then advance on each other to center ring.
Chaos: Raab looks a little thrown off by the whole thing.
Hanson: Captain Idiocy always looks “off”.
Chaos: Clever. Did you spend all week thinking that up, or did you ask Creative for help?
Reese: Even at their worst, Creative couldn’t come up with an insult that lousy.
Chaos: True.
Hanson: You’re both pricks.
Reese: Raab and The Captain engage in a test of strength.
Chaos: The Captain is stronger. Raab should know that.
Hanson: Now who’s making assumptions?
Chaos: It’s not an assumption. It’s what my eyes tell me, as well as experience.
Reese: He’s got you there.
Hanson: He’s just assuming.
Reese: Look in the ring, Hanson.
Hanson: I am.
Chaos: What do you see?
Hanson: Captain 80s has forced Raab down to his knees.
Chaos: Why?
Hanson: Because he’s stronger.
Chaos: And what did Uncle Chaos tell you?
Hanson: It’s not mature to gloat.
Chaos: No, but it’s really satisfying.
Reese: The Captain jerks Raab into the air by his hands and slams him down across his knee with a really inventive backbreaker variation.
Hanson: He probably stole it from someone.
Chaos: Doesn’t matter. It worked.
Reese: The Captain pulls Konrad up and hoists him onto his shoulder...
Chaos: Nice powerslam.
Reese: It’s too early to call it a “strategy”, but he’s definitely put some thought into it.
Hanson: He hasn’t thought of anything since “Transformers” were on the air.
Chaos: That was a cool show. Don’t insult “The Transformers”.
Hanson: I was a “Go Bots” guy.
Chaos: Cheap ass.
Hanson: What?
Reese: I was just informed that there are a few parts to the match that will happen after the first two minutes of the match and then at every minute after that.
Hanson: What? Who’s idea was that?
Chaos: Presumably the GM, but it screams Ichabod.
Reese: We’re about to hit the two minute mark as The Captain has spent the last minute throwing Raab around the ring and appears to be a little gassed.
Hanson: I told you he was a moron.
Reese: He’s wrestles an old-school style.
HOOOOOOOOONK!!!
Hanson: Was than an air horn?
Reese: It sounded like one.
Hanson: What the hell was that for?
Chaos: Open your fuckin eyes and find out.
Hanson: You’re so crass.
Chaos: And you have a phobia of chunky Asians.
Reese: Both wrestlers pause and look around in confusion.
Hanson: I think I’m still deaf from that airhorn.
Chaos: It’s too bad you’re not mute.
Reese: Both competitors look utterly befuddled as Referee Kane stands up and slips a blindfold down over his eyes.
Hanson: Oh, Christ…
Reese: This is about to get…
Hanson: Absurd.
Reese: I was going for chaotic, but sure, that works too.
Chaos: The blindfold is in place.
Reese: He gestures for both men to continue the Tron.
Hanson: I don’t believe that I have to watch this.
Chaos: You don’t. You can leave.
Reese: He’s right.
Hanson: I’m a professional.
Chaos: Since when?
Reese: Raab and the Captain lock up again and this time Konrad gets the advantage as he gets around behind the Captain and drops him on the back of his head with a quick belly to back suplex. The Captain pops back up and darts at Raab, who sidesteps him and drops him with an arm drag, then hits him with a quick dropkick.
Chaos: He has The Captain reeling.
Reese: He pulls The Captain up and connects with a release German Suplex, then pulls him up and drills him with a clothesline.
BANG, BANG, BANG!!!
Hanson: The fuck?
Reese: Our blindfolded official just knocked his gavel his desk and Raab looks a bit confused by it.
Hanson: I don’t agree with him that often, but for once it makes sense.
Chaos: Watch the clock, kids.
Reese: Excellent point, Chaos. It’s at ten and counting down.
Hanson: This is such a farce.
Chaos: We’re down to five.
Reese: It’s time!
QUUUUUUACK!!!!
Hanson: Was that a duck call?
Chaos: Yup.
Hanson: I’m so confused.
Reese: That duck call made Raab stop in mind move.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Hanson: There’s Kane with the damned gavel again.
Reese: Yup. He clearly has no idea what’s going on.
Hanson: Really? Did you notice that all by yourself?
Reese: I noticed it better than Kane notices the match.
Chaos: Not your best joke, but I’ll allow it.
Hanson: Why do you let him get away with shitty jokes, but not me?
Chaos: I don’t want to throw him in front of a movie bus.
Reese: And I sincerely appreciate that.
Chaos: Don’t mention it.
Hanson: Did a statue of the Statue of Liberty just drop from the ceiling?
Reese: It did.
Chaos: It’s more of a pinata.
Mitchell Dennis: Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been informed that there is a costume of Lady Liberty in there and if one of our contestants is put through the pinata, that they have to put the contents on.
Hanson: Is he serious?
Chaos: He sounds serious.
Reese: He’s serious.
Hanson: I’m so lost right now.
Chaos: You could make that feeling literal and neither of us would mind.
Reese: Meanwhile, Raab pulls the Captain up and whips him across the ring. The Captain bounces off of the ropes and ducks under another clothesline attempt from Raab.
Hanson: Ow.
Chaos: Better him than me.
Reese: Nice Atomic Drop by the Captain.
Chaos: Hell of a boot, too. He should try out for the NFL.
Hanson: As long as it gets him out of here.
Reese: The Captain turns and looks at the pinata of Lady Liberty.
Chaos: It looks like Halloween is coming early.
Reese: The Captain walks over to Lady Liberty and gives her a quick salute. He goes to pull her off of her hanging clip and
BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Chaos: Christ that was loud.
Hanson: It was right in my ear.
Reese: I didn’t even know there was an air horn under the table.
Chaos: Hanson knows now.
Hanson: What? Who’s talking?
Reese: A picture of Uncle Sam just dropped from the ceiling, followed by an American flag.
Hanson: Who thought this insanity up?
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Reese: There’s Kane with the gavel again.
Hanson: This is so embarrassing to be a part of.
Reese: I think it’s pretty entertaining.
Chaos: I need to drink more.
Hanson: I need to drink.
Chaos: Get your own beer.
Reese: Captain 80s had managed to get the momentum back when the image of Uncle Sam dropped from the ceiling. Now every time he sees it, he stops and salutes.
Hanson: This is never going to end.
Chaos: That might end it…
Reese: Raab just hit the Captain over the head with the Lady Liberty pinata.
Hanson: That...that…
Chaos: Foreigner?
Hanson: Not what I was going to say. How dare he destroy Lady Liberty? That’s not patriotic!
Chaos: He’s German, asshole.
Hanson: I know that!
Chaos: Then why did you say that?
Hanson: I’m a patriot!
Chaos: You’re an idiot.
Mitchell Dennis: According to the rules, Captain 80s must put the Lady Liberty costume on!
Hanson: This is so...weird.
BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!
Hanson: There goes that idiot referee with the gavel again.
Reese: Captain 80s looks like he’s about to cry over the broken Lady Liberty pinata.
Hanson: I’d cry if I had to put that outfit on.
Chaos: So would everyone else.
Hanson: Thanks, Chaos! I didn’t know you cared!
Chaos: I don’t. I just know how much the sight of you in anything that shows your chicken legs off would upset everyone.
Reese: Truth. The Captain has managed to awkwardly…
Chaos: Shoehorn himself into that outfit.
Reese: That works. The Captain has the outfit on now, although it looks like he’s managed to tear both arms out getting his massive arms into them.
Chaos: It looks to me like the collar is stuck around his head.
Hanson: Well, if it wasn’t so big.
Chaos: Do you have something you need to get off of your chest, Hanson?
Hanson: No. I don’t know what you’re talking abou...NO! You’re sick!
Chaos: Your tone sounded a bit longing. If that’s your thing, more power to you.
Reese: Konrad appears to be helping the Captain get his head through the collar of that costume.
Hanson: Idiot. He should just kick him in the face and pin him.
Reese: He has scruples.
Hanson: I repeat what I just said.
BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!!
Reese: They just about had it when the Referee hammered with his gavel again!
Chaos: Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!
Hanson: You’re old.
Chaos: If you keep insulting me, you won’t have the chance to be old.
Reese: The gavel appeared to startle the Captain, who immediately swung wildly and caught Raab right on the chin!
Chaos: That was a hell of a punch.
Reese: I have no idea how Raab is still on his feet. It’s not much better for the Captain, because he still can’t get his head through that collar and he’s stumbling all over the ring.
Chaos: Look at the clock.
Reese: We’re at five seconds and The Captain just staggered through the ropes and face planted onto the floor..
HONNNNNNNK!!!
Hanson: I seriously want to kick whoever planned these “alarms” square in the nuts.
Reese: Take it up with Vines.
Chaos: I expect this has something to do with Ichy. This is far too complicated for Vines.
Hanson: What the hell is going on in front of the Referee’s stand?
BANG!! BANG!!! BANG!!!
Hanson: Someone take that goddamned gavel away from him!
Reese: Am I seeing things?
Chaos: If you are, I’m seeing the same thing and there’s not enough booze to cause that!
Reese: The scales of justice are raising up through the floor.
Chaos: I think the Captain is stuck on a part of one of the scale arms!
Reese: I think you’re right!
Hanson: What has my life become?!
Reese: Raab seems to finally have his wits back and he looks utterly dumbfounded by what he’s seeing!
Hanson: For once, I agree with him!
Chaos: This is some weird shit.
Reese: Amen to that. The Captain is stuck by his tights and his legs are windmilling wildly.
Chaos: Not to mention that he’s still stuck in that collar.
Reese: Raab is just staring at him, jaw agape and I can’t say that I blame him.
Chaos: I don’t either.
Hanson: People will never take me seriously in sports commentary after this…
Chaos: They don’t take you seriously now.
Reese: Raab breaks into a run and leaps onto the Scales of Justice…
Chaos: That’s impressive agility.
Hanson: Especially for such an old man. Chaos, you couldn’t do that even before you become a broken down old man.
Chaos: I didn’t need to.
Hanson: Why not?
Reese: Keep disrespecting him like that and you’ll find out.
Chaos: What Aaron said.
Reese: Raab leaps across the giant arms of the scales, cross the middle and leaps for The Captain…
BANG!!! BANG!! BANG!!!
Hanson: That goddamned gavel…
BANG!!
Fans: OHHHHH!!!!
Chaos: God damn.
Reese: What a cutter!
Chaos: They’re lucky that they landed in the ring!
Reese: The problem is that it took a lot out of both men and now neither one is moving.
Chaos: On the bright side, the Captain has his head out of that collar now.
Reese: That’s true, although I doubt that he finds that to be much more than a small comfort.
Chaos: Well, at least when he wakes up.
Reese: True.
Hanson: Raab is an idiot, but that WAS impressive.
Reese: That’s as close as you’re going to get to a compliment for Raab.
Hanson: Eh. It was still stupid. Now he can’t pin the brain-dead throwback.
Reese: You just can’t help yourself.
Hanson: The truth isn’t always nice.
Reese: Raab is starting to move, while the Captain is still flat on his face on the mat.
Chaos: Dude’s tougher than I thought.
Reese: He’s crawling hand over hand towards the Captain, who still hasn’t budged.
Hanson: If the idiot was smart, he’d handcuff the Captain and THEN pin him...and since the Ref is blind, he should also hit him with a chair shot or five.
Reese: Of course you’d recommend that.
Chaos: Raab is almost over to the fallen Captain. I’m impressed with his tenacity.
Hanson: He would have given you a challenge.
Chaos: In your dreams....the ones that don’t include chunky Asians who do flips.
Hanson: I wish you’d stop bringing that up.
Reese: Raab finally gets over and drapes a hand over the Captain.
BANG!! BANG!!!
Hanson: NO WAY!!
Chaos: Well fuck me running…
Reese: I have no idea how, but the Captain kicked out!
Chaos: Now’s not the time to get distracted, Konrad!
Reese: Raab thrusts his hand down and grabs the Captain by the throat. He hoists him into the air in what looks like an attempt at “The Icenator”!
Chaos: Nice elbow to the forehead from the Captain. Sometimes the best counters are the simplest.
Hanson: Well, he is a simple guy, so…
Reeves: Raab stumbles back, momentarily stunned. Captain 80’s runs at him and scoops him up into his shoulder...running powerslam! He runs backward and bounces off of the ropes…
Hanson: USE THE HANDCUFFS YOU IDIOT!!!
Reese: CAPTAIN’S LOG! Captain 80s drops into the cover!!
ONE!!
BANG!!
TWO!!!
BANG!!
THR/BAN….NOOOO!!!!!!
Hanson: He KICKED OUT! THE KRAUT KICKED OUT!!!
Reese: Do you REALLY have to focus on that?!
Hanson: I thought that rhyme was pretty clever.
Reese: The Captain can’t believe it! He stands up and walks over to the corner, where he grabs the handcuffs and shakes his head almost as it he’s disappointed that it’s come to this. He staggers back over to Raab. He flips Raab over and goes to apply the handcuffs. He has them on Raab’s right wrist...if he gets it onto the left, Raab will be helpless!
Chaos: Nice kick by Raab!
Reese: Over the shoulder throw by Raab! He takes down Captain 80s!
Hanson: Damn it!
Reese: Captain 80’s slowly gets back to his feet. He’s clearly dazed from how hard he landed on the throw! He staggers over to Raab, who sees his opportunity to strike. He gets around behind the Captain and wraps him around the waist...FROZEN PIN!!!
BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!
Mitchell Dennis: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL….”THE ICEMAN” KONRAD RAAAAAAAAAB!!!!
Reese: Raab has won and Captain 80s has to be lead out in handcuffs!!
Chaos: Here come the “Cops”.
Reese: Raab looks like he wants to keep it from happening, but after this gueling insanity of a match, he’s just too tired to move!
Hanson: Raab should have handcuffed him and beaten what little brains he has in with a chair.
Reese: Raab is a better person than you. We now are watching what might the strangest match conclusion in UGWC history as the “Police” have cuffed Captain 80s and are leading him out of the ring and down to the waiting Police Car…
Chaos: Reminds me of my younger days.
Reese: The debuting Hide Yamazaki takes on Kenzi Gray and that match is NEXT!!!
Konrad Raab - 6.85
Captain '80s - 6.74
