*As the commercial for Subway fades the camera shows a distant view of the ring and the fans waiting in anticipation of the next match. The camera focuses slowly in on the ring, where Maria Shultz stands. *
Dean Malenko: Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen. That was just the first match of a great card for you tonight. Up next is a battle between two gentlemen from two different countries, England and France. It's going to be interesting to see the difference between these two wrestlers and their wrestling styles.
Ian Dawe: I don't care about the wresting styles. I don't see much difference between these two other than size. They both wear black and white face paint. It's like a battle of clowns.
Malenko: I think it's more complex then just a battle of clowns. Abyss isn't a clown in the first place. Renee Marcel is the only clown in the match.
Dawe: Don?t let the French hear you call a mime a clown. You?ll never be welcome in France again.
Malenko: Americans aren?t welcome in France in the first place.
Dawe: Good point.
Maria Shultz: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, standing six feet, seven inches tall and weighing in at 275 lbs., from Peacehaven, East Sussex, England?Abyss!!!!!
* Man on the edge plays fireworks explode on the ramp way. The crowd gives a standing ovation as Abyss walks onto the stage, in a leather great coat, flexing his arms. He points to one side of the crowd getting huge cheers then the other side. He walks down the ramp and the ramp lights up with a fire trail that follows where he walks. He walks up the steps and stops in front of the turnbuckle and removes his coat. He drops it by the steps on the floor then climbs up the turnbuckle form the outside, and raises his arm to the crowds delight. He lowers it then hops over the turnbuckle then spins around with arms outstretched slowly. He lowers his arms and waits for Renee Marcel to make his entrance. *
Maria Shultz: And his opponent, standing six feet even and weighing in at 180 lbs., from Paris, France??The Mime? Renee Marcel!!!!! Daniel Padain will officiate.
* Renee Marcel ?Walks Against The Wind? down the ramp way. As he nears the ring he looks up at Abyss, points at him and holds his nose. Then he walks around the ring and starts miming various things for the fans. The fans start shouting at Renee to get in the ring and start the action. *
Malenko: Not the kind of start to a match I would have expected.
Dawe: Who knows with the French?
*Abyss starts to get annoyed at Marcel along with the fans. He shouts at Marcel to get in the ring, but Marcel just ignores him and continues to mime. Abyss climbs out of the ring, grabs Marcel by the collar and back of his pants and throws him into the ring. The fans cheer as the bell finally rings and Abyss turns and throws his arms up in the air. Behind him, Marcel stands, hits the ropes and slams into Abyss feet first with a baseball slide. Abyss flies forward and into the ring barricade. Marcel follows Abyss and begins to punch and kick him. Daniel Padain starts the ten count?1?2?3.*
Malenko: Did you see that? Marcel hit Abyss while Abyss had his back turned.
Dawe: Well, the first rule of wrestling is ?Don?t take you eyes off your opponent.? Abyss must have forgotten that.
*Abyss stands under the barrage of punches and kicks and delivers a knee to Marcel?s midsection. Then Abyss grabs Marcel and delivers a stalling suplex, both men slamming down hard onto the thin mats around the ring. Abyss and Marcel roll around in pain as the ref continues to count?4?5?6?7.*
Malenko: C?mon! Get back in the ring!
*Abyss rises shakily to his feet and turns to enter the ring to break the count. Marcel grabs his ankle as Abyss attempts to climb up to the ring apron. Marcel pulls Abyss?s leg out from underneath him and Abyss hits his chin on the ring apron. Abyss is sprawled out, his head and arms on the ring apron and his feet on the arena floor. Marcel uses Abyss to climb up to the ring and try to break the count?8?9?10! A split second after the referee counts to ten, Marcel rolls into the ring and raises his arms in victory. Daniel Padain pulls Marcel?s arms down and shakes his head no. *
Padain: Double count-out! You didn?t win, it?s a double count-out!
*Marcel kicks the bottom ropes, holds one hand flat, moves his other hand under the other and holds up nine fingers. *
Padain: No! I counted to ten!
*Marcel shakes his head no, and quickly extends each of his ten fingers. *
Padain: It was not a fast count! I counted at a normal pace!
*Marcel throws his hands up in frustration and disgust and climbs out of the ring stalking back up the ramp way in anger and amidst the booing of the fans.*
Malenko: Folks, I think we have a double count-out here.
Dawe: Gee, what clues led you to that deduction, Sherlock?
Maria Shultz: The referee has ruled this match a double count-out!
*The fans boo even louder as Abyss crawls into the ring and grabs the mic from Maria. He points at Marcel. *
Abyss: This isnt over Renee Marcel. I will find you and when I do, you?d better run, punk. I will get mine, Mime!
*Renee Marcel turns and simply flips Abyss off before heading backstage. Abyss shakes with anger, hops out of the ring and chases after Marcel. *
Malenko: Well Folks, that wasn?t quite what I expected in this match.
Dawe: I'm pissed. I was looking forward to the battle of the clowns.
*Malenko rolls his eyes at Dawe. *
Malenko: We'll be right back after this commercial break. Don't go away, there'll be more great action when we come back.
*The scene fades to a commercial for Vertigo. *
