ATLANTRA PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Atlantra is backstage.

Atlantra: Valetia Von Strahden. And your Darkside. Do you wonder if I'm with the Rebirth? Well... I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm not. But it doesn't matter. I'm still taking you down.

Atlantra
vs.
Valetia Von Strahden
w/?????

The Match:
As 'Joan Crawford' begins to play... a seaweed curtain comes down in front of the entry way. As the tempo picks up... the curtain rises back up to show Atlantra! She comes down the aisle and gets into the ring, where the 500 pound referee, John Pinnette stands nervously, seeing that she's coming towards him.

Atlantra holds up to Pinnette... a TWINKIE! He looks excited...she brings it up to his mouth... then PULLS it away! He sticks out his lower lip as she throws it into the audience.

The lights drop down! 'Hellraiser' starts to play!!! Valetia is carried out in her coffin by six druids. As they come down the aisle, candles light up by themselves on either side of the runway. There is another leading the way...

TRENT REZNOR OF NIN! The druids open the coffin lid at ringside... and the pale vampire, Valetia Von Strahden rises up! The fans cheer for her, but she makes no expressions for them. She gets into the ring and stands, facing Atlantra.

The bell rings. VVS charges at Atlantra and headbutts her down to the mat where she stomps her down even FURTHER! Valetia drops down and begin chop at her... then she rakes her nails down Atlantra's side!

Atlantra reaches up and grabs a handful of VVS' tights... and pulls them so that Valetia is flipped out of the ring! Atlantra follows her out.... but VVS has already risen like an undead creature and is waiting! She scoops up Atlantra on the outside... AND SLAMS HER DOWN ON THE THIN MATS!!!!

King: Pillman, I'm glad you tipped me off about Valetia! I bumped into her in the back, and she started hitting on me! She even went so far as to ask "Your coffin, or mind?!"

Pillman: Don't worry, King! The Publican's got some garlic in his briefcase, just in case!

Valetia rolls back into the ring as Pinnette continues the count. 5... 6... 7... Atlantra is still down!!!!! 8... 9... Valetia attempts to go back out after her, tired of waiting! The count is broken! The ref gets in between and puts VVS back in a neutral corner. He turns and continues the count....

King: Hey, what's going on with that fan support competition I was hearing about? Atlantra, Sunny... and Pamela Anderson?!? When is that going down? And who's hosting, cause I'd be MORE then happy to grab... uh, I mean greet the ladies as they come down!

1... 2.... 3.... Atlantra gets up... 4... 5... she rolls into the ring and stands, looking hurt. VVS grabs her by the head and headbutts her hard, but doesn't let her drop! She takes Atlantra down with a drop toe hold, then knife-edges her in the back of the head while on the mat. Valetia then PUNCHES her in the back of the head and yanks her up by the hair to a vertical base.

Atlantra throwsValetia to the outside... but doesn't wait to catch her breath! She climbs up to the outside. Valetia sits up on the outside and rises up, seemingly unhurt!!! The Creatures of the Night cheer!!!! Atlantra leaps from the top.. and Valetia side steps!!! Atlantra nearly knocks herself out on the outside!!! Valetia drops down...

AND APPLIES THE BITE!!!!!! Atlantra's neck begins to gush crimson!!!! Valetia sinks her teeth in!!! John Pinnette continues the count!!! 4.... 5.... 6... Valetia lets it go and THROWS Atlantra's nearly unconcious body into the ring and follows her in.

VVS dives on her again... and BITES at her neck!!!! Atlantra's neck is covered in blood!!! Pinnette hits a count to get her to break! 1... 2... 3... 4... VVS let's it go! Then... BITES AGAIN!!! Pinnette warns VVS! But she doesn't care!!! He counts...1 ... 2... VVS let's it go....

Then CHOKES Atlantra!!! Atlantra gasps for air! VVS pushes hard on her injured neck.... and CHOKES HER UNCONCIOUS!!! Pinnette continues a count 1... 2... 'Cmon! Break it up!!!!'

Valetia let's the choke go... and looks up at Pinnette. Atlantra is motionless! She's unconcious! Valetia GOES BACK FOR THE BITE!!!! Pinnette rings the bell!!! He's had enough!!!! Valetia continues to bite into Atlantra... until Pinnette pulls her off and raises the unconcious Atlantra's hand!!!

Winner, by disqualification: Atlantra

VVS looks around at the fans, who despite seeing VVS lose by DQ, know that she was the better. They cheer for her as she returns angrily to her coffin... and the druids and Trent Reznor carry her out.

Two paramedics come down the aisle and help out the badly wounded Atlantra, who gets the win by disqualification.

Jim Ross is in the back. He watches the Druids and Trent disappear with the coffin around the corner in the back.

JR: WOW! I don't think Valetia Von Strahden was even LOOKING for the win here tonight! She sent a message to the Dream! Rebirth or NOT, Atlantra felt the power of the DarkSide here tonight! In the Sewer Match, there will be NO Disqualfications! There will be NO referee to pull VVS off the Dream if she so chooses to apply that lethal bite!!! If the Dream saw what transpired tonight... she HAS to be worried!

The camera pans away from Jim Ross as the paramedics bring through the unconcious and bloody form of Atlantra.
