(CUTTO: Windham parading in the ring, crying as GOLD confetti drops from the rafters of the CSWA Auditorium and BOMBARDS THE RING and the crowd!)

(CUTTO: Windham, stunned, amazed, shocked by what he’s accomplished bathing in the golden riches of the aftermath.)

BB: He is the best, Sammy. Sometimes I hate to admit it, but….he’s the best.

SB: Buckley…

BB: Yes Sammy?

(CUTTO: Troy Windham accepting the UNIFIED Title from senior referee Pee Wee Troutman.)

SB: Happy ANNIVERSARY.

BB: You too, Sammy. You too.

(CUTTO: UNIFIED Champion Troy Windham holds the title above his head, gold reflecting gold as the confetti rains down. He is visibly crying, shaking. He finally falls down to his knees, clutching the big gold belt to his chest.)

SB: Folks, we know this is normally the spot where psycho lunatic Mark Windham runs in, drops his brother on his head and tries to kill him, but I can guarantee you that Mark is nowhere near this building tonight. At the same time, I have it on good authority that Timmy Windham also is several states away.

BB: I’m sure you just thrilled most of our audience with that announcement, Sammy. Folks, he entered as the UNIFIED World Champion, so you wouldn’t normally expect this much emotion… but Troy Windham has just outlasted the biggest gauntlet that has ever been put in front of a UNIFIED Champion at one time. We’ve seen the ULTRATITLE Tournament, we’ve seen the IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS… both are as grueling, if not more-so… but never before has one man had to make it through a test of will and strength like GOLD RUSH. We’re watching Troy Windham take it all in… from the three times he thought his career was over due to injury, to the strain of being a member of the Windham family and fighting with his brother, to the… let’s call it what is is… FEAR of having to face men like Dan Ryan and Eli Flair again.

(CUTTO: A wide shot of the CSWA Auditorium. The confetti has stopped falling and Troy Windham is still celebrating by himself in the middle of the ring.)

SB: If you thought he was bad before, Buckley… I think the EPITOME is just getting started!

BB: We want to thank all of you for being a part of this special ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. Whatever happens in the future, it’s been our pleasure to.

(CUEUP: “Zero” by Smashing Pumpkins)

(CUTTO: CSWAvision comes to life. Troy Windham’s head jerks up in disbelief.)

(CUTTO: Dan Ryan running to the ring as fast as he possibly can.)

BB: Is that? Dan Ryan?

SB: He’s coming out to congratulate Windham and be the bigger man. I like that. And I don’t like much from Texas.

(CUTTO: Ryan jumping into the ring as the confetti kicks up.)

BB: Ryan has the house mic…

DAN RYAN: (MARK!) Troy…turn around sunshine, I need you to read my lips in case you can’t hear what I’m about to say.

(CUTTO: A startled Windham turning to see Ryan. Immediately Troy starts laughing as if to try and get Dan to see the funny side of what happened earlier.)

DAN RYAN: Congratulations on your little ‘plan’ earlier. Let me let you in on a plan of my own. I’m cashing in my raincheck from earlier tonight. This company has taught me if you don’t take your opportunities when they’re given, you may have to wait a year for them to come around again. Congrats on GOLD RUSH. I’m not much of a party goer. Don’t like crowds. I like to mangle people on a one-on-one basis.

(CUTTO: Ryan kicks Windham in the gut! The UNIFIED Title goes flying across the ring!)

DAN RYAN: The bell please.

BB: It’s Ryan and Windham for the UNIFIED TITLE! Ryan won a shot earlier in the night and he’s cashing in now!

SB: Smart man, we could all be dead a year from now when the next CSWA show takes place. Wait a second, THIS ISN’T FAIR!

(SFX: DING! DING!)

RHUBARB JONES: Ladies and Gentlemen, CSWA owner Stephen Thomas has confirmed that this match is one-fall, no time limit, for the UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! (Crowd pops one more time!)

BB: It’s a bonus main event that none of us expected as Ryan throws Windham into a corner and he’s beating the living hell out of him! Dan whips Windham across the ring, Troy off the turnbuckle CLOTHESLINE BY RYAN!

SB: This isn’t fair! Windham’s just been through a grueling match! And now he has to face Dan Ryan who has been doing heaven only knows what the last 25 minutes!

(CUTTO: 20 MINUTES AGO – IN RYAN’S DRESSING ROOM. Ryan on a massage table being attended to by a lovely Swedish woman.)

DAN RYAN: A little to the left honey, that’s it. (Ryan looks up at the TV monitor of the match and laughs.)

(CUTTO: LIVE! Action)

BB: It wasn’t fair when Windham refused to give Ryan a title shot, or when he put a bounty on his head thirty minutes ago either, was it? Ryan with a Bench Press Slam! This crowd is on its feet!

(CUTTO: Troy in the match. WINDHAM’S POV – His head is swirling. A million different MILF’s spinning in a circle.)

BB: Ryan stands Windham up. Belly to Belly suplex! Now Ryan going to the top rope! Dan Ryan is one of the more agile big men this sport has ever seen. But Troy is there! Windham with a shot to Ryan’s chops as the former CSWA World Champion hovers on the top turnbuckle. Windham with another shot! Troy doesn’t back down from any challenge!

SB: Fight him Troy! Fight him! He handled 300 men tonight he can handle Ryan again. FOR SPARTA!

BB: Windham on the middle rope, hooks the arm, SUPERPLEX! He just superplexed Dan Ryan right off the top rope! Windham gestures to the crowd.

SB: And to you Buckley! You tried to cost him the title!

BB: But while Troy is trying to get his point across… RYAN STANDS! The native Texan just stood up like he was slapped on the wrist! Troy thinks he’s bought some time! Ryan grabs Windham from behind. GERMAN SUPLEX INTO A PIN! ONE…..TWO……NO!

(CUTTO: The crowd reaction.)

SB: Was that three?!!

BB: No! Windham found a way out. Ryan brings Troy to his feet, oh! A thumb to the eye! Troy drops down and takes a shot at Ryan’s groin!

SB: Remember what I said earlier Buckley. Ryan will be gunshy by the time he’s 40. I hope his kids didn’t want a little brother or sister.

BB: Troy backs Ryan into a corner, he has to be in disbelief that he’s reached this point! Windham kicking away at Ryan! Windham on the middle rope.

(CUTTO: Troy pounding away on Ryan’s head. Ryan locks his arms around Troy’s legs and walks him back to the center of the ring.)

BB: Ryan…ATOMIC DROP! BLOCKED! TROY LEAPING DOUBLE AXEHANDLE! Ryan off his feet! Troy quickly leaps to the middle ropes, MOONSAULT!

SB: Get Troutman in there to make the call!

BB: ONE……TWO! Ryan is up! Troy stomps on Ryan’s groin for good measure and goes up top! Windham is headed up top…and he’s there! How many times have we seen him fly tonight?!

SB: Come on Troy end this thing!

BB: Ryan leaps to his feet, SLACKKNIFE OFF THE ROPE!! BY RYAN!! DAN GRABS THE LEGS, BRIDGE PIN!

SB: No!!!!

BB: ONE……TWO…………………..THREE!!!!!

(CROWD ERUPTS!)

BB: DAN RYAN HAS JUST WON THE UNIFIED WORLD TITLE!!!

(CUTTO: Ryan leaping up in disbelief!)

BB: And I don’t think he, or Troy, or Sammy can believe it!

(CUTTO: Troy on the mat, looking up, realizing what has happened, then slowly rolling onto and off the ring apron.)

BB: We’re out of confetti, but it looks like the fans are picking it up and throwing it themselves! It’s pandemonium in here… I don’t even know if you can still hear me!

SB: Just kill me now.

(CUTTO: The ring! Pee Wee Troutman raises the tree trunk arm of Dan Ryan and presents him with the UNIFIED WORLD TITLE!!!)

(CUTTO: The stage! CSWA wrestlers are streaming out of the back. Some immediately run down towards the ring, others stand on the stage, applauding.)

BB: We’ve literally seen it all tonight, fans. Troy Windham weathered the storm of GOLD RUSH, but it is Dan Ryan who walks out as the UNIFIED Champion. The man who was stripped of the CSWA World Title for no reason, then denied another chance to face Troy Windham, the man who stepped into a ring under a mask, won his ring, then got dumped out due to a bounty on his head by Troy… only to show that he had a backup plan of his own.

SB: Can we end this now? I think I’m going to be sick. Again.

BB: Folks… one more time, thank you so much for joining us for ANNIVERSARY. It means a lot to us to be invited into your homes. We hope to see you again soon. For Sammy Benson, the CSWA, U-62 TV and all the others who have made this possible, this is Bill Buckley saying thank you and good night.
