Breakdown - February 3, 2010

DARK MATCH:

The TPKid defeats Sammy Thomas Davies via pinfall

The SCW symbol comes onto the screen.

“The following is a presentation of Supreme Championship Wrestling, the leader in sports and entertainment in the world today.”

The scene then fades to black.

MAIN SHOW:

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Josh Hudson locking in the Angle before freezing and flying past the screen. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx biting Asher Hayes’ lip and then ripping away as Asher winces from the sudden pain, before freezing and flying at the screen.

“You can't erase this deep inside of me
I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

We see Damian Angel nailing Rick Rohl with a lead pipe before freezing and flying at the screen. A shot of Jason Wheeler spearing Greg Cherry is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of Greg Cherry, Stacy Kissinger and Mr. Drachewych all standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

“I cherish the love and
I cherish the life that's inside of me
And I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

Shots of Gigi Steward and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Donovan Kayl nailing someone with the G’Night Bitch, and followed by a shot of Christian Savior hitting a guillotine leg drop on Brian Kinney are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of the SCW Tag Team Champions, Liberation, are shown, posing with the titles before flying past the screen.

“Won't you come and rescue me?
Separate myself from me
Maybe I'm too blind to see
Save my life, rescue me.”

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Shilo Valiant, Blake Mason, Thorn & David Helms, Asher Hayes, James Exeter, Greaternity and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.

The scene then switches to the inside of the Verizon Center in Little Rock, Arkansas where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena for a few moments before we sweep down to ringside and the SCW announce team of Adam Sharper, Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Little Rock, Arkansas for what will no doubt be a raucous night as we have a lot to get to here tonight. The SCW Championship contendership tournament begins here tonight and only on Breakdown. Hello again, I’m Adam Sharper, alongside Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots and at Body, Heart and Soul, we were wondering what CHBK would do to shake things up and we now know at least part of that plan.”

Dawson: “Yeah. We’re going to see eight individuals all of whom have never been World Champion get an opportunity here tonight to qualify for semi-finals matches. Basically, they win tonight, they move onto next Breakdown where we’ll find out who gets the coveted title shot at Retribution.”

Knots: “I’d love to know what Infection thinks of that. At least CHBK gave Stacy Kissinger a shot in it and God knows she deserves it.”

Sharper: “Along with that, we’re going to see a lot more. All of the fallout from Body, Heart and Soul, including what will be a busy night for CHBK and Sasha Drachewych as they start trying to give out plenty of opportunities not only for Retribution on March 7^th, but also the big SCW/IWC Supershow on March 1^st.”

Just then we hear “Cult of Personality” starts to blare throughout the arena and the crowd starts to boo loudly as the spotlights focus on the entrance way and we see Mr. Drachewych walk out from the back with Greg Cherry at his right. The two look out as we then see Stacy Kissinger walk out, followed by Drew Weilacher and Matt Bishop.

Knots: “And it seems like I’m going to get my wish. I would love to know what is going on in their heads.”

Sharper: “They threw everything they could at Jake Starr, but Jake Starr is still the World Champion and Greg Cherry still comes up short to regaining the title he’s been yearning for.”

Dawson: “Yeah, but let’s not forget how Infection’s plan backfired a bit. Thorn and David Helms made their presence known and got Drew Weilacher and Stacy Kissinger away from the ringside area.”

Sharper: “And Damian Angel as well.”

Knots: “Yeah. What the hell is this all? We’re going after Infection. What about everyone else? It was never an even playing field!”

Greg Cherry and Drachewych start to make their way to the ring as Kissinger, Weilacher and Bishop follow. The crowd continues to boo with some trash even coming towards the head of Drachewych, only for the former chairman to swat it away. The group makes their way to the ring before slowly entering the ring. Drachewych then walks around before going over to the corner and demanding a microphone. Upon being handed one, he turns and walks over to Greg and hands it him, but not before giving him some advice of sorts. Greg then turns away and starts to walk around. He rubs his face in frustration before turning and looking up at the main camera.

Greg: “I’m sure everyone here has to be just loving it that I am not the World Champion right now.”

The crowd erupts in cheers and Greg just looks out and glares.

Greg: “But the fact of the matter remains that yet again, I didn’t get my fair shake at the World Championship, oh no. Instead, Jake Starr, having to sit there and actually prove that he can’t deal with me one on one. The moment that he feels that nothing is going his way...not only does he try to get my Adrenaline Championship on the line....but he needs to get all of his friends to show up.”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Give me a break!”

Greg pauses as he looks down.

Greg: “That title should have been mine. It was going to be mine. But apparently someone likes to really mess with me, taking my first chance at the World Title and RIPPING it away from my hands. Well, I don’t care who the hell I have to yell at backstage, I’m going to make this loud and clear....I want another title shot and I want it NOW!”

The crowd roars as Greg Cherry looks around and starts to fume.

Greg: “Jake! CHBK! Sasha! I don’t care who. Someone get out here and make this happen!”

The crowd roars and Greg starts to pace back and forth. He looks around before turning and looking over at the entrance way.

Dawson: “Greg Cherry essentially foments a match that has a lot of individuals involved...the Infection attack half the roster...and he’s blaming them for getting involved. I’m in shock.”

Knots: “But he’s right! Stacy and Drew were not necessarily coming down to attack or get involved. Thorn and Helms did that.”

Sharper: “What about Bishop and Drachewych?”

Knots: “I missed that. I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.”

Greg: “Come on!”

Greg snaps as he continues to pace. Drachewych then walks over and takes the microphone from him. Greg just continues to pace as he looks over at the entrance way.

Drachewych: “So this is how it’s going to be. Let’s face it. Body, Heart and Soul solved nothing. I already know that you’re going to spin things to make it seem like Infection had it coming. But the fact of the matter is that Greg Cherry is a better champion than Jake Starr will ever be....”

The crowd erupts in boos, but Drachewych continues.

Drachewych: “And Jake’s cronies fired the first shot. But then again, I shouldn’t be surprised when I see this company going down in flames. Instead of booking the obvious needed rematch between Greg and Jake, you instead give some untested talent an opportunity. With that said, you’re not completely stupid, Alex, as you put Stacy Kissinger in there...perhaps realizing you needed a name to make the tournament mean something. But let me tell you this...she will get through that tournament and we will ensure that the SCW Championship gets what it deserves.”

Drachewych pauses.

Drachewych: “But don’t think that we’re going to take that as enough. You know....both of you, Sasha....Alex....know that Greg Cherry deserves another shot. You both know that Greg Cherry is the rightful World Champion. That title was made for him. And you know that need to make that match. And not just us. The crowd wants it too. Don’t you all want to see Greg Cherry challenge for the World Championship again?”

The crowd starts to boo and Greg turns and just looks out at the crowd, nearly losing it.

Drachewych: “Well what did you idiots know?”

Drachewych shakes his head before turning back to the main camera.

Drachewych: “So....what do you have to say? Is Greg getting his rematch, yes or no?!”

The crowd boos and Drachewych turns to the entrance way. Greg Cherry turns as well. A few moments pass and no one comes out.

Drachewych: “Come on! I know you’re both here.”

Greg turns and Drachewych just slowly shakes his head. Bishop walks over and Drachewych and him share a few words. Greg turns and throws his arms up in the air. Drachewych then walks over before looking around. He then turns and motions to Greg. Drachewych turns and steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Stacy Kissinger just remains in the ring as Drew and Matt start to look around. The crowd continues to boo.

Sharper: “I guess CHBK, nor Sasha are on their way out.”

Knots: “What the hell is this? They’re just going to ignore them now? These are angry people.”

Dawson: “With a screwed up story.”

Knots: “It’s the truth!”

Sharper: “In any case, Drachewych and Cherry seem to be on their way to the back. Maybe in search of CHBK or Sasha Drachewych, but in any case, we’ll be back after this. Stacy Kissinger takes on Thorn in the first quarterfinals match in the Contendership Tournament when we return. Don’t go anywhere!”

Drachewych and Greg start to make their way up the rampway as the crowd continues to boo and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Greg Cherry and Drachewych storming through the backstage area as the camera follows them from behind. The cameraman chases after the two as Drachewych and Greg continue to storm through the hallway before they see CHBK standing and talking with an intern.

Greg: “Hey! You want to ignore me!”

Drachewych: “Whoa...Greg....Relax...Let me handle it!”

Greg: “Yeah...that went great at Body, Heart and Soul.”

Drachewych stops and just turns and spins Greg around to him only to then turn and step forward and over towards CHBK.

CHBK: “Oh? Is there something you require from me?”

CHBK sarcastically retorts as Drachewych just glares at him and Greg starts to pace back and forth behind him.

Drachewych: “Look. I can understand that you and I aren’t on good terms. I can understand that you don’t care about Greg either. But I’ll be damned if you’re going to ignore us!”

CHBK: “Ignore you? I was doing nothing of the sort.”

Greg: “Then why didn’t you give me my shot!”

Drachewych: “Greg!”

Greg grits his teeth and Drachewych turns back to CHBK.

CHBK: “You mean your rant in the ring. Well, I figured you two were a bit high-strung. And given that Greg over there looks like his arm is going to have a nervous twitch and knock out the cameraman, I figured it best if he waits a bit. Calms down. You too. Allow me to think about it.”

Greg: “Oh no. I’m not playing this. Sasha gave me the run around last month.”

CHBK: “First off....it’s Ms. Drachewych. Secondly, I can guarantee you’ll have your answer tonight. But at the moment, I have other matters to deal with-“

Drachewych: “More important than the SCW World Championship?”

CHBK just smiles.

CHBK: “Actually, yes. Now, go be good boys and wait. Patience is a virtue. I think you two finally need one.”

CHBK turns and walks off as Greg turns and his eyes widen in frustration. He then turns away and lets out a yell before turning back to Drachewych.

Drachewych: “Just calm down....calm down.....”

Drachewych continues to try and calm Greg down as we go to ringside.

Stacy Kissinger vs. Thorn

SCW World Championship Contendership Tournament - Quarterfinals

Stacy paces back and forth in the ring as we return back from the backstage area and to the ringside area.

Sharper: “Well Drachewych is trying to get answers. At least we’re getting an answer tonight. But Stacy Kissinger has her own matters at the moment.”

Knots: “A bit of revenge too. The Next Level joined the Social Misfits. How the hell do you aspire to that?”

Dawson: “Thorn and David Helms have sided with Jake Starr and ended up helping him in that huge SCW Championship match at Body, Heart and Soul. And tonight, we know Stacy is going to love getting her hands on Thorn in this World Championship contendership tournament.”

All is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a spotlight drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll across the video screen

INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….

The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the keyboard starts again

PATCHING WITH THE "SOCIAL MISFIT" EXPANSION...

The background sounds continue, then more words.

SUBJECT: THORN…

The background noise echoes loudly around the arena, becoming almost deafening as tapping on the keyboard can be heard one last time.

EVALUATION: DEADLY…

The gunfire and sirens halt and all is silent before two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp.

“I’d Rather Die Than Live Down On My Knees”

The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Death Before Dishonour” by Five Finger Death Punch blasts out as the lights flicker back on and Thorn can be seen on top of the arena, Charlotte by his side as he looks out into the audience that are cheering loudly, chanting in some cases. He stops and smiles before cocking his head to the side and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands, gesturing for the crowds to cheer louder before fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he resumes walking down to the ring again. As he walks past the barrier he high fives all the outstretched palms as Charlotte simply looks on with a proud smile on her face, waving to the odd fan that catches her attention before halting at the side of the ring as Thorn slides underneath he ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, making the beckoning gestures again before playing to the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, waiting for the match to begin, he looks to the outside at his daughter and smiles as she applauds for him along with the crowds.

Sharper: “Quite possibly the biggest opportunity Thorn has had thus far in SCW.”

Dawson: “Yeah. But Stacy Kissinger is getting the same opportunity and one she’s going to be hesitate to lose grip of. Infection would love to have another opportunity to take the World Championship away from Jake Starr.”

The bell sounds and Stacy Kissinger suddenly drops to the floor. The crowd boos and Thorn turns and just throws his arms up in the air before turning and starting to walk after her, before we see Stacy Kissinger turn to Charlotte and smirk. She then starts to move towards her and Thorn suddenly runs over and goes to the ropes before diving to the floor and standing in front of Charlotte, but Stacy then rolls back into the ring. Thorn gets back in and Stacy quickly stomps him in the back of the head. Thorn rolls over and Stacy stomps him in the face. Thorn rolls over again and Stacy stomps him in the head a third time. Thorn rolls over and Stacy grabs him and lifts him up before turning and driving her forearm into the face of Thorn. Thorn staggers back and Stacy nails Thorn then with a back elbow. Thorn shakes his head and Stacy drives her fingers into the face of Thorn and pushes forward and Thorn yells in pain as the referee calls for the break. Stacy then rips her fingers away and Thorn turns and holds his face in pain.

Knots: “How about that for strategy?”

Sharper: “Clearly baiting Thorn and since then, she’s been relentless in her attack. Just going right after Thorn and immediately getting him off kilter.”

Stacy then kicks him in the ribs before pushing him against the ropes and firing him into the ropes. Thorn bounces off the ropes and Stacy jumps up and knocks him down with a jumping back elbow. She then turns and goes for the pin.

Thorn kicks out. He then starts to get up as Stacy gets up. She then grabs Thorn and lifts him up before kneeing him in the ribs. She then fires him off into the ropes. Thorn bounces off the ropes and Stacy attempts a clothesline, but Thorn ducks. He then bounces off the ropes and jumps up and nails Stacy with a flying forearm. Stacy rolls over and gets back up and Thorn turns and nails her with a clothesline. Stacy gets back up and Thorn kicks her in the ribs and then throws her over with a snap suplex. Stacy rolls over and winces before grabbing the ropes.

Dawson: “Thorn starting to pull himself back into this match, with some high-octane offense.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, I hope he crashes and burns. He deserves to after involving himself in the SCW Championship match at Body, Heart and Soul!”

Stacy gets back up and Thorn grabs her from behind and throws her back with a back suplex. He then rolls over and goes for the pin.

Stacy kicks out. Thorn gets up and gets back to his feet. He walks around and Stacy rolls over and looks up to Thorn and Thorn kicks her in the ribs before then dropping her with a DDT. He turns and goes for the pin.

Stacy kicks out again. Thorn turns and glares at her before getting up and then dropping a leg across the head of Stacy. Stacy winces as rolls over slowly. Thorn then gets up and grabs Stacy before lifting her up and then whipping her into the corner. Thorn turns and runs after her, but Stacy gets her boot up and Thorn staggers back. Stacy then runs out of the corner and clotheslines Thorn in the back of the head.

Sharper: “Just stopping him dead in his tracks.”

Knots: “She didn’t stop him dead in his tracks. She caused him to go back up the tracks a bit before then dropping him.”

Thorn starts to get up and Stacy turns and kicks him in the ribs. Thorn rolls over and winces. He then starts to pull himself up and Stacy grabs him before whipping him into the ropes. Thorn bounces off the ropes and Stacy hits a spinning heel kick, knocking him down. She then turns and goes for the pin.

Thorn gets his shoulder up. He then rolls over as the crowd cheers. Stacy turns and starts to get up. She then walks around as Thorn slowly pulls himself up and Stacy grabs Thorn and then turns and takes him down with a Russian leg sweep. She then rolls over and gets up before turning and walking over to the corner. She exits to the apron and then climbs up to the top rope. Thorn is still down and Stacy Kissinger then gets up and gets to the top rope, only to dive off, attempting the High Note, but Thorn rolls out of the way. The crowd cheers as Kissinger rolls through.

Sharper: “She missed! No High Note here. Thorn gets out of the way.”

Dawson: “And he keeps his aspirations going in this tournament. He’s still alive.”

Knots: “Damn it. Damn it. This is not making Drachewych happy!”

Kissinger slowly stirs and pulls herself up before wincing and turning to Thorn and Thorn suddenly grabs her and pulls her down into a small package.

Kissinger kicks out. Both get back up and Thorn then suddenly nails Kissinger with an uppercut. Kissinger staggers back and Thorn turns and kicks her in the ribs. Thorn then grabs Kissinger and hits a jawbreaker. Kissinger pops back and leans against the ropes. Thorn gets back up and runs at Kissinger and Kissinger gets her boot up. Thorn stumbles back and Kissinger then runs at Thorn, and Thorn suddenly drops down and dropkicks her in the leg. Kissinger winces before slowly starting to get up and Thorn jumps up and pulls her down with a neckbreaker from behind.

Sharper: “Neckbreaker takes down Stacy Kissinger. Again, Thorn, fighting his way back into this match with a series of high-impact, high power offense.”

Knots: “What the hell Stacy?! This is your chance. Get this together!”

Thorn rolls over and then gets up. He turns and walks over to the corner. He exits to the apron and starts to climb up to the top rope. He gets up to the top before turning back to the ring and Kissinger manages to get up before grabbing Thorn and throwing him off the top rope with a press slam. The crowd ohs and Kissinger smiles before dropping down to her knees. Thorn starts to slowly get up. Kissinger then gets up, and suddenly, the crowd roar as we see Shilo Valiant hop the guardrail. He then runs over towards the entrance way and looks up at the ring. Stacy turns and just looks at Shilo in confusion and Shilo then smiles before throwing streamers up in the face of Stacy. Stacy swats them away before shaking her head, somewhat taken aback by the absurd attack. Just then Thorn rolls her up in a school boy.

The crowd erupts in cheers and Stacy pushes Thorn away as Thorn drops back and rolls out of the ring. Stacy Kissinger rolls over and Shilo just glares in the ring as he starts to back away. Thorn pops up and smiles as he jumps up, throwing his arms in the air.

Sharper: “Thorn! Thorn takes advantage and he’s moving on!”

Knots: “What the hell was that? Who throws streamers?”

Dawson: “Shilo Valiant does. And Stacy Kissinger didn’t even know what to think about it and didn’t get much of a chance to. Thorn took advantage and he’s moving on. Shilo just cost Stacy a shot at the World Championship!”

Sharper: “Revenge for the attack on Marina Trent? Maybe!”

Stacy continue just to seethe in the ring as Shilo Valiant makes his way up to the back. Thorn continues to celebrate as the referee drops down and holds his arm up. Stacy kicks the bottom rope in anger as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we go backstage to the Infection locker room to see Kissinger kicking the door before turning and letting out a yell.

Stacy: “That son of a bitch cost me my title shot!”

Drachewych can be seen as he looks around. Kissinger lets out another yell before walking over and smacking a cup hard against the wall before storming around the room. We then cut back to ringside.

Dawson: “Needless to say Stacy Kissinger isn’t too happy with the result of the last match.”

Knots: “Ya think? She was screwed!”

Dawson: “Well...that’s arguable. Some karma there too. But in any case, Thorn moves on.”

Andrew Samuel Pugh vs. Loki

The instrumental starts to play for Styx's “Mr. Roboto”. From above shines a light and before everyone’s eyes, as if by magic or teleportation or whatever, Master Roboto stands on the stage wearing his suit and tie, and of course, his helmet. The fans boo like crazy as he adjusts his tie and strolls down the ring.

Roboto: “Ladies and Gentlemen… May I present none other than the Lost Boy!”

The crowd roars in approval, but the masked manager quickly raises his hand to silence them.

Roboto: “Weighing in at 151 pounds… And hailing from, what he calls, the Secret Forest’… Loki!”

John Williams’ composition, “Across the Stars” begins to play and a block from the stage opens up. We can see on the under side that there are mushrooms and grass on it, as if it were not really the underside at all but from somewhere unknown to us. Loki's head pops up and the audience goes nuts, so he pulls himself out and closes the door. The young teen slaps hands with the fans before sliding into the ring. He hopes to the first turnbuckle as the fans yell “North”. He goes to the next one as the fans yell “South”. This continues with “East” and “West”. Loki then does a backflip landing on his feet and crouching down, waiting for his opponent, backward crawling to one of the turnbuckles.

Dawson: “Andrew Samuel Pugh, one of SCW’s more promising new talents, has been waging an all-out war against Mr. Roboto and his extensive clientele in recent weeks. Just before the Pay-Per-View, he took Silas Sands to the edge, but fell just short of the finish line. Tonight, he tries his luck with a familiar face in ‘The Lost Boy’, Loki.”

Sharper: “One thing I have to say about the ‘Alpha Dog’, as he calls himself, he’s certainly tenacious.”

Dawson: “But will that tenacity be enough? …Loki’s had more than a small amount of success in SCW before being shelved by Chris Lawler. He might seem childish, but the kid can pull some amazing moves.”

Knots: “The fact he can dress himself is amazing. Drachewych hired this kid to get the Special Olympic people off his back.”

"Numb Encore" hits the PA system as Andrew Samuel Pugh walks out, with his vest, and points to the fans. He throws his hands up, smiling. He then walks down the aisle, pointing and waving to some of the crowd members and keeps saying "thank you" like he is being cheered when the fans are booing at him. He slides in the ring. He goes to the middle of the ring, goes close to the ropes, and puts his hands together and holding them up high, which is a symbol saying that he is the Crown Jewel of Pro Wrestling.

Sharper: “This should be an interesting contrast in styles. Loki, obviously known for that superhuman agility, while Pugh considers himself more of a grounded wrestler. Still, we saw the ‘Alpha Dog’ do some high-flying of his own against Sands.”

Dawson: “Sands doesn’t have half the aerial abilities that Loki does.”

Sharper: “Damn good point.”

The referee signals for the bell and both men move to the middle of the ring. Roboto stands silently on the outside, his arms folded. Bouncing from foot to foot, Loki gives a little wave to ASP, before asking him if he likes to play. ASP answers by slapping the Lost Boy across the face, causing the crowd to boo loudly.

Knots: (Laughing) “That answer your question, moron?”

Holding his face, Loki’s eyes widen as he stares at ASP. Turning his back, he runs into the ropes and comes back, tucking into a somersault as ASP tries to clothesline him down. Coming out of the roll, Loki leaps onto the ropes and springboards into a backflip over ASP’s head, landing behind him. ASP turns around, and Loki slaps him back. The crowd cheers with some fans laughing. Looking confused, Loki slaps ASP again, before slapping himself, and then ASP again. Finally, he says “Tag”, and slaps ASP yet again.

Knots: “… That retard thinks it’s a game?”

Dawson: “Well, Loki loves to play... Guess he wants to play a little tag with ASP.”

Gritting his teeth, ASP slams a hard right into Loki’s face. He then kicks him in the gut, and clubs him across the back of the neck while lifting his knee into Loki’s face, knocking the Lost Boy back against the ropes. ASP whips Loki to the far side, and catches him with a back elbow that knocks Loki down. ASP smiles and stomps on Loki’s hand, screaming “Tag”. Loki rolls away and gets up, shaking out his hand as ASP charges in with an elbow to the head, stunning Loki. ASP unloads another series of punches, then knees Loki in the stomach and bends him over. ASP hooks Loki and snaps him over with a suplex, keeping the headlock and pulling Loki back to his feet. ASP delivers another suplex, and then floats into the pin.

One!

Tw-No!

Loki’s shoulder pops up before the two-count. ASP pulls Loki to his feet and chops him across the chest. He then follows it up with a stiff clothesline that knocks Loki down. Loki rolls to his hands and knees and tries to get up, but ASP leg drops the back of his head, smashing him back into the mat. ASP pulls Loki to his feet and backs him into the corner, using both hands to throttle him. The referee orders him to let go, but ASP refuses, turning to yell at the official. Loki stomps on the distracted ASP’s foot and leaps up to plant his feet against ASP’s chest, falling backward to monkey flip ASP into the corner. ASP hits the buckles upside down and crashes down on his head. Dizzy, Loki kips to his feet and backs off with a smile. On the outside, Roboto nods his head, and points at ASP, motioning for Loki to keep going.

Sharper: “A solid match so far. Pugh looked like he had control, picking up a near-two-count earlier, but those quick reflexes make it impossible to take your eyes off Loki for a second.”

Knots: “Sure you can… I haven’t looked at him once since he ca—Damn it, I looked!”

ASP starts to get up, but Loki runs up the corner behind him flipping around into a ‘whisper in the wind’ that knocks Pugh back down again. This time ASP rolls quickly to his feet, only for Loki to connect with a dropsault, land on his feet, and then connect with a flipping senton onto ASP’s chest, leaving him breathless. Clutching his ribs, ASP rolls to his knees and starts to push up. Loki runs up behind him and nails a dropkick between his shoulders, sending ASP shoulder-first into the corner post. The crowd groans, but cheers for the Lost Boy. Loki pulls ASP out of the corner and snaps him over with a front-flip arm drag.

Dawson: “Loki’s starting to build momentum. ASP can’t let him do that. Once Loki gets going, it’s almost impossible to stop him.”

Landing on his feet from the flip, Loki leaps onto the ropes and springs into a moonsault, coming down hard across ASP’s chest, grabbing the leg as he lands and rolling Pugh up onto his shoulders.

One!

Two!

ASP kicks his legs and breaks loose, landing on his side. Loki gets up and pulls ASP to his feet and whips him into the corner. Clapping his hands, Loki gets a running start before leaping into a cartwheel, and then a back handspring, coming up with his back to ASP before leaping backwards with a flying mule kick to ASP’s face. Pugh slumps down into the lower corner. Turning around, Loki grabs the top rope, kicks off the middle rope into a handstand, and then comes down with a double-foot dropkick; but ASP gets his foot up, causing Loki to smash-straddle it as he comes down. The crowd boos loudly as Loki falls to the mat and rolls away, whining as he cups himself beneath his loincloth. The referee looks at Loki, then turns to glare at ASP, asking what happened. ASP shakes his head before grabbing the ropes to pull himself up.

Dawson: “I stand corrected. That’ll stop anyone’s momentum.”

Sharper: “ASP was a little more focused on out-wrestling Sands, but it looks like he’s resorting to more underhanded tactics here against Loki. We haven’t seen a whole lot of orthodox offense from Pugh, yet.”

Knots: “… Oh, right… And we’ve seen plenty from the retard? …Give me a break.”

Shaking out the cobwebs, ASP hoists himself up onto the middle rope, and then leaps off with a knee across the back of Loki’s head. Getting up, ASP pulls Loki up and kicks him in the knee, then knees him in the face. Backing into the ropes, ASP drives a low-level dropkick into Loki’s face, knocking him down. ASP picks Loki back up, then scoops him up and drops him into a backbreaker in the middle of the ring. Moving to the corner, ASP climbs up to the top rope, and comes off with a flying fist drop. Loki rolls out of the way, and ASP smashes his hand into the canvas, causing him to cry out in pain. Jumping into the air, Loki lands a double-foot stomp on ASP’s hand, causing the man to cry out again as he rolls out onto the floor.

Dawson: “Payback for the Lost Boy!”

Sharper: “Simple as he might be, Loki’s far from stupid. He knows exactly what kind of ‘bad man’ ASP is being, and he knows exactly how to deal with him.”

On the outside, ASP paces along the guardrail, ordering a few fans to shut up as he shakes the pain out of his hand. Inside the ring, Loki watches for a moment, before running to the ropes and twisting into a no-handed corkscrew moonsault over the ropes, landing on top of ASP and knocking both of them down!

Sharper: “Whoa!”

Dawson: “Big move by Loki, and he caught ASP with every bit of it!”

Sharper: “If there’s one think Loki does better than anyone else, it’s fly. And there’s your proof!”

A “Loki” chant starts in the crowd, as the Lost Boy gets to his feet and pulls ASP up, too. Rolling ASP back into the ring, Loki jumps onto the apron, then vaults up onto the top rope, before launching into a high-elevation frog splash. ASP tries to roll away, but Loki lands on his back, causing ASP to scream in pain. Loki gets to his feet and rolls ASP over, but ASP grabs a handful of hair and pulls Loki into an inside cradle.

One!

Two!

Th-NO!

Sharper: “Kick out by the Lost Boy! …ASP almost stole the match out from under Loki’s nose!”

Dawson: “Desperation move by the ‘Alpha Dog’. He’s probably getting tired of trying to keep Loki down. It’s hard enough trying to catch him in the first place.”

Loki gets to his feet and turns to Roboto, grabbing his hair and trying to tell him what ASP did. Coming up behind him, ASP grabs a waistlock and plants the Lost Boy with a German suplex, holding onto the bridge.

One!

Tw-No!

Loki kicks loose and back-crawls away, getting to his feet as ASP gets up, before leaping at him with a flying forearm, knocking ASP down. Loki shouts something as he stomps on ASP, then grabs at his hair and stomps on ASP again, obviously scolding him. Pulling ASP to his feet, Loki vaults up onto his shoulders and throws him over with a hurricanrana, back-rolling over ASP’s body and back up to his feet before leaping into a double-knee drop to ASP chest. As Loki rolls off, ASP rolls to his knees and tries to get to his feet. He reaches for the ropes and pulls himself up, but Loki charges him from behind with a clothesline. ASP is knocked over the rope and lands on the apron, dazed. Loki reaches over the ropes and pulls ASP up, but ASP grabs him and drops to a sit-out, hot-shotting Loki on the top rope. Loud boos echo from the crowd as Loki rolls on the mat, holding his throat. Rolling back into the ring, ASP pulls Loki to his feet and hooks him up. Lifting Loki up, he drops his feet on the top rope and turns around, setting up for the Ego Crusher.

Knots: “Yes! …Do it! …Maybe you’ll knock his brains back into one piece.”

Taking a running start, ASP leaps into the air and brings Loki down with the cutter, earning a round of boos from the crowd. Rolling Loki onto his back, ASP pins him, but the referee doesn’t count. On the apron, Roboto argues with the official, distracting him. Shoving back to his feet, ASP storms over to the ropes and tries to pull the referee away, before shoving him into the corner, knocking him down. ASP turns to grab Roboto, but the masked manager hurls a handful of silver powder right into ASP’s eyes!

Sharper: “Powder in the eyes!”

Grabbing ASP by the head, Roboto drops back down to the floor, hot-shotting ASP on the rope, causing him to stagger around to where Loki has climbed to the top rope. Diving into a flying clothesline, Loki knocks ASP to the mat and rolls back to his feet. Stunned, ASP gets up, and Loki knocks him with a head-first tackle, rolling out onto the apron. As ASP pulls himself up on the ropes, Loki knocks him down again with a quick lariat, before leaping over the top rope and landing on the middle one inside, vaulting back into the moonsault to complete his ‘North, South, East and West’ combination. Roboto nods in approval.

Knots: “Oh, come on! …He was blinded, Ref! …Do your job!”

Dawson: “He is; he’s counting!”

One!

Two!

Th-NOOO!

ASP rolls his shoulder up at the last possible second, earning a small cheer from the crowd as Roboto grabs his head with both hands. The fabric at his mouth puffs as he screams in protest. On his knees, Loki just looks at ASP, then looks at the referee before holding up three fingers. The referee shakes his head.

Knots: “Yeah, two, moron! …Like your IQ!”

Looking back down at ASP, Loki pulls him to his feet and whips him into the ropes. ASP bounces off the ropes and Loki leap-frogs over him. ASP plants his feet and stops, grabbing Loki around the waist and brings him down with an inverted atomic drop. Loki bounces in place with a look of pain as ASP runs to the ropes and comes back with a spinning heel kick. Reaching under the ropes, Roboto grabs Loki’s ankle and trips him, causing ASP to miss and crash to the canvas. The crowd starts to cheer, but boos as Roboto turns and walks away, looking innocent. Holding his head, Loki looks at his foot, confused, but stands and walks over to ASP, who is also getting up. Kicking ASP in the gut, Loki jumps onto his back and see-saws into a sunset flip powerbomb. Getting to his feet, Loki looks at ASP, and then runs to the corner, leaping up onto the top rope and clapping to himself before leaping off with the double-450 splash.

Sharper: “The Trick! …Perfect landing as always!”

One!

Two!

Three!

“Across the Universe” begins to play again as the referee helps Loki up and then raises his arm. But Mr. Roboto shoves the referee from behind, knocking Loki’s arm out of the air. Pointing to himself, he raises his own arm, and then points to Loki, reminding the crowd that ‘He’ is the mastermind. Loki just watches, then waves to some fans in the crowd, before turning and climbing out of the ring with Roboto, who puts an arm around the Lost Boy and leads him back up the ramp; as ASP watches angrily from inside the ring.

The scene cuts backstage to see Shilo Valiant standing at the interview area, joined by Marina Trent and Masquerade with Jackson Kole.

Shilo: “Look, don’t talk. Cameraman...get here.”

The cameraman walks forward and focuses on Shilo.

Shilo: “Sorry to Masquerade or even my beautiful Cerulean goddess, but this is right to you Infection....me to you two. You want to try and make this personal by going after her....well, I hope you got the message. My ways may not be the most direct, but they still do the same. And well....I’m going to make another point right now. Stacy...I know you have to be seething. So how about this. You want to get your hands on me. I want to get my hands on both you, Drew and your little asshole of a manager Bishop. So, at the IWC/SCW supershow....how about we put on a show. See....allow me to bring something from the mind of Karnivale. We’ll call it....the Under the Big Top match....and it will prove to be interesting in own right. But we’ll even put our Tag Titles on the line one more time, just to sweeten the pot so I can have my way with all three of you. Masq....Marina....myself....against you Stacy, Drew....and Matt Bishop....Tag Titles on the line....what do you say? I’m on pins and streamers waiting!”

Shilo starts to seethe as he continues to move towards the corner. The crowd cheers a bit as Shilo starts to smile more sadistically and the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we go to the locker room of Infection. Stacy Kissinger is in disbelief.

Kissinger: “What the hell was that bull*bleep*!”

Bishop: “I’m not getting in the ring.”

Drachewych: “Just relax...”

Kissinger: “A Big Top? Just do this straight up. None of these games!”

Drew: “Seems like that’s all they’re good for.”

Kissinger: “Whateva! I’m getting sick of dem clowns!”

Greg can be seen just still fuming in the background as Drachewych shakes his head.

Drachewych: “Tag Titles are on the line.”

Kissinger: “Make it a normal match and sure. But they just want a stupid game! How do we know its fair?”

Bishop: “I’m not a wrestler. I’m not getting in the ring either!”

Weilacher: “We could wipe the floor with them anyways....”

Drachewych sighs as he throws his arms in the air and starts to walk back into the room as we go back to ringside.

Sharper: “Well Infection isn’t taking to that challenge the way I thought. I thought they’d be gunning for the chance.”

Knots: “It’s this Big Top match?”

Dawson: “Under the Big Top.”

Knots: “What the hell is that? I think they have a valid point. They want to kick their ass. They just want to do it on neutral terms!”

Dominic Kaiser vs. Christian Savior

“Coming Home” by Alter Bridge is heard throughout the arena. When it really begins to kick in Christian Savior appears from the backstage area. He simply but intensely walks down the ramp, staring at nothing but the ring. He steps up onto the ring apron and then enters the ring by stepping through the ropes. He doesn’t seem to be paying attention to anything, not even Jason Phillips as he announces him into the ring.

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, already in the ring from Toronto, Ontario, Canada…weighing in at 202 pounds…Christiaaan Savioooorrrrr!!!

Christian just stands there right smack dab in the middle of the ring as Dawson is heard on his headset at the announce table.

Dawson: Well, we all saw that Christian Savior was able to get past Chris Lawler at Body, Heart and Soul. And we all know his mindset. He wants that United States Championship as it’s the last belt that he has yet to earn during his SCW career.

Knots: He’ll probably get it to. Unless if someone better than him comes along. I actually do admire his intensity sometimes.

Dawson: You’re only saying that to go opposite of me.

Knots: Your point being?

Luckily for Adam Sharper who is in the middle of the two at the announce table, Christian’s music gets sharply cut and then replaced by no music for a few moments. The arena turns pitch black so no one can be seen. After a few seconds with no warning, purple lasers come flying around the entire arena. As soon as that happens, U2’s “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” starts up... and after a few seconds Kaiser appears at the top of the stage in a flickering white spotlight alongside his girlfriend/valet Alicia Pryce. Clad in his signature top hat, ring attire, a gold serpent headed cane and pitch black shades he slowly makes his way down the ramp with Alicia holding onto his arm.

Phillips: And his opponent, being escorted to the ring by Alicia Pryce, originally from New York City, weighing in at 215 pounds…Dominiiiic Kaaaaaiserrrrrr!!!

Stopping at the end of the ramp, he glances to either side of him and then turns to kiss Alicia before entering the ring, while Alicia goes to the outside of the ring to be his top supporter.

Kaiser heads straight into the ring, walks around and looks down at the crowds, welcoming the jeers of the crowd. Then he places the cane side on between his teeth and raising his open hands to his neck to do a double open handed cut throat gesture with them, and the lasers go off and blue fire starts to shoot from the top of the turnbuckles. From there the arena lights have come back on. He takes his hat, shades, scarf and jacket off and puts his cane to the side before turning to face Christian Savior. The two of them stare at one another, Dominic Kaiser sharing in Christian Savior’s look of intensity. Neither of them move as the ringside bell is rung. The referee sets himself up and waits for the first move of the match to be made between the two combatants. Christian finally makes the first move, probably pissed off that he isn’t getting a United States title shot tonight on Breakdown.

Christian immediately locks in an armbar to Dominic’s left arm and wrenches it a bit. While holding the hold in, he tries to sweep Dominic’s feet out from under him, but Dominic only teeters and then goes to whip Savior across the ring. This frees Dominic from the armbar submission and Savior finds himself rebounding off the far side ropes. He goes for a knee to the midsection but telegraphs it too much and Dominic is one step ahead of him as he sidesteps him and then shoves Savior through the second and third ropes and out to the floor. Christian slaps the mat outside in frustration.

Knots: He’s already frustrated! I can’t blame him being that once again Sasha is not giving Christian his chance at the United States Title. Things will only get worse from here if Christian doesn’t get his way. He looks THAT intense.

Dawson: For once we agree.

Sharper: Stop the presses! But yes, Christian Savior showed at the pay per view that he will go through whoever he has to to get a hold of Shilo Valiant and perhaps the United States Championship.

Dawson: He can’t be thinking of the U.S. Title right now. He has his hands full with Dominic Kaiser. And from the looks of things, things aren’t going Christian’s way early here.

Christian gets back up to his feet as Dominic just looks out at him, urging him to get back into the ring. The referee begins to start a ten count but Christian rolls back into the ring, only to be met by Dominic Kaiser. Alicia Pryce cheers her boyfriend on as Dominic begins to lay into Christian Savior with a few punches. Christian covers up, only having been hit with three or four. The referee tells Dominic to pull away from Christian, but he keeps going after the man that desperately wants to be the United States Champion.

The referee finally gets involved and yanks Dominic away from his opponent. Alicia doesn’t look very happy on the outside as the referee shoves Dominic as far away from Christian as he possibly can, giving Christian time to recuperate, which he does. Savior gets back up to his vertical base and Dominic breaks free from the referee. Christian however makes sure that Dominic isn’t free for long as he delivers a Blaze of Glory spear.

Knots: Spear!!! Look at that fire! Look at that intensity. That right there PROVES that he’s ready to take on Shilo and take down the clown!

Sharper: I’m sure Sasha’s watching this match, as is Shilo. Both of them should be impressed with the prowess of Christian Savior.

Savior gets back to his feet and looks down at his fallen opponent. He only looks for a couple seconds before bending down and latching on a Texas Cloverhold. Dominic desperately tries to get out of the submission maneuver but Christian really works to cinch it in as good as he can. Dominic realizes that he’s in trouble as he flails his arms wildly, looking to see where the nearest set of ropes are.

As Kaiser struggles in the Texas Cloverhold, the crowd turns to the stage as Gable Winchester has slowly sauntered out from the backstage area, and is now standing beneath the SCWtron looking right down to the ring. He stands here for a bit as the match continues. His eyes maneuver around a bit before seeing the beautiful feminine figure of Alicia Pryce and he seems to be completely entranced by her. Yet he doesn’t make a move towards the ring…at least not yet anyways.

Dawson: Hmmm, Gable Winchester is now an interested bystander, but from where his eyes are, he’s not concerned with the match that’s taking place.

Knots: I’m not surprised.

Sharper: Well, at least unlike Infection, he’s not getting involved in this match for no reason.

Knots: What’s that supposed to mean Adam?

Sharper: You know what I mean Jonathan.

Dominic still has not given up as he finally extends his left arm out as far as he can. He’s able to wrap it around the bottom rope and the referee warns Christian to break the hold, which he doesn’t right away. This warrants the five count from the referee assigned to the match.

1!

Fi-!

Christian at the last possible second releases the hold on Kaiser and backs off, but doesn’t go far. He waits for Kaiser to get partially back to his feet before pancaking him into the ropes by executing a perfectly placed bicycle kick to the upper back. Kaiser’s head is now between the second and third ropes. Christian scales to the top of the nearest turnbuckle and wastes no time in going for a flying elbow to Kaiser’s back. Kaiser somehow though realizes this and is able to free himself from the ropes and roll out of the ring, causing Christian to get nothing but canvas.

The crowd cheers a bit actually as Christian Savior pounds the mat, once again frustrated by one of SCW’s relative newcomers. Christian’s face begins to get a bit red as he gets back to his feet. He now sees where Kaiser is and he just absolutely DARES him to get back into the ring. Alicia however holds her man back, telling him to only enter when he’s fully ready. Gable now begins to come down the wrestler ramp as he keeps his eyes locked on Ms. Pryce. Dominic doesn’t see him coming and slips back into the ring. He and Christian begin to exchange some decent and impactful punches as Gable finally reveals himself before Alicia. He bows quickly and introduces himself. The audio is picked up.

Gable: Hey, Alicia is it? You’re looking quite good.

Alicia turns and does her best to ignore Gable, instead concentrating on what’s going on inside the ring pertaining to her man.

Dominic begins to gain the upper hand and finally is able to whip Savior into the opposite corner. Savior throws on the breaks before his back hits the turnbuckle. He runs back at Dominic, going for a clothesline but Dominic ducks under it and then grabs Savior from behind lifting him up and over, bringing Christian crashing down to the mat. It’s now that Dominic sees Gable trying to stroke up a conversation with his girlfriend. Dominic comes over to the ropes just as Gable takes Alicia’s hand and goes to kiss it. Alicia yanks her hand away before Gable’s able to do it and then tells him to get lost. Dominic is fuming and doesn’t see Christian Savior come from behind him. Savior delivers a dropkick from the blindside sending Dominic back to the mat. Christian looks out at Gable and just shakes his head before he sets up Kaiser and delivers a pumphandle slam. He then rolls Dominic over for a cover.

1!

2!

Kaiser is able to roll the right shoulder, but he is unable to get off of the mat. So Savior helps him in doing so, only to then scoop up Kaiser and bring him right back down crashing to the mat via the Eye of the Beholder.

Knots: And he’s again going to prove his point that he deserves the SCW United States Championship. Shilo might want to be very wary of this future challenger…

Christian pins Dominic, hooking both of the legs while holding that intense look on his face.

1!

3!!!

The bell rings and as Gable Winchester walks away from the ringside area after having been rejected by Alicia Pryce, Christian Savior has his left arm raised by the referee.

Phillips: Here is your winner of the match…Christian Saviorrrrr!!!

“Coming Home” by Alter Bridge is heard again as Christian Savior yanks his arm away from the referee. He doesn’t celebrate his victory much and instead leaves the ring and simply heads up the wrestler ramp. Alicia slides into the ring to be at Dominic’s side as we go backstage.

Breakdown cuts backstage and the scene opens up to see Sasha Drachewych in her office. She can be seen moving some things around on her desk when CHBK then walks in. Sasha Drachewych looks up and smiles a bit.

Sasha: “Oh...hi Alex.”

CHBK: “Hi. Alright, so I’m going to avoid drawing this out.”

Sasha: “Well I figured. You’ve been taking charge since returning.”

CHBK: “Yeah, well, it needs it.”

Sasha: “What?”

CHBK just shakes his head.

CHBK: “Nevermind. But I’m going to ask....Damian Angel?”

???: “Oh come on. It’s not so bad.”

A soft laugh can be heard as the camera turns to see Damian Angel walking in. CHBK turns and just looks at Damian. Sasha then walks around her desk and stand in between the two as the crowd roars.

Sasha: “I had no choice and say what you will, he gets results. And I needed someone to outthink my father with you away.”

CHBK: “Well I’m back. So he doesn’t need to have his hand in the proverbial cookie jar.”

Angel just smirks, preferring to say nothing.

Sasha: “He’s helped me out so far. He’s kept my father in check.”

Angel: “That’s hardly an issue Madam Drachewych. In fact, I would think it is safe to suggest that his distrust of the genuine nature of my actions is what he has a problem with.”

CHBK: “Couldn’t have said it better myself.”

Angel: “Well, should I do anything you do not find on the positive, you know how to teach me a lesson.”

Angel smirks. CHBK just glares.

CHBK: “I’d prefer it not to come to that again.”

Angel: “You enjoyed it.”

Sasha: “Alright. Well, I’d like to take the tension down a bit. Damian, thanks for weighing in. I think that’s a fair compromise.”

CHBK: “It’s not.”

Sasha: “Well, he’s given me no reason to think otherwise.”

Angel: “You’re a smart woman. Stick by your guns. It will get you somewhere.”

Angel smirks and turns away before walking off. CHBK just watches him leave before glancing back at Sasha.

CHBK: “You really do have some of your dad in you. And trust me, that’s not necessarily a compliment.”

Sasha: “What? What’s that supposed to mean?”

CHBK just shakes his head before turning and walking out of the room. The crowd buzzes as Sasha looks confused and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Miss TKO vs. Madison Steward

“Dynamite” blasts through the arena, one single blue spot light flies around the audience, lighting up random fans, as the music gets louder. When the spot finally settles on the middle of the stage, Madison Steward sprints onto the out to the awaiting crowd. Madison throws her arms in the air getting a small pop from the crowd. She hops back and forth on the balls of her toes, showing the energy she possesses. She also flashes the multitude her award winning smile as she exhibits her excitement and it shows as she waves wildly to the crowd. Madison continues to get the mass going winding them up for her match that is until Francis Evans makes his way onto the stage. The fans’ reaction changes instantaneously to negative energy. Even Madison’s extra energy can’t keep the crowd happy. The mob quickly turns on Francis, but the Evans’ ego just feeds off their distaste for him. The spot light stays trained on Madison and Francis as they start their walk down the ramp. Madison dressed in her ring gear and Gigi’s Team Desire jacket. Francis however struts beside Maddy in his flashy suit as he smiles at the crowd, smirking at them because he thinks he is better than them. As they reach ringside, Madison runs at the ring apron and jumps on it and climbs the corner and throws her arms into the air trying getting the crowd back into it a good mood, but it doesn’t last long because Francis arrives in the center of the ring and commences to model and pose for the crowd. The fans react by booing him loudly. Maddy climbs down off the ropes and enters the ring where her and Francis regroup in the corner to get ready for the match to begin.

Dawson: Madison Steward is looking very forward to this match up. She is itching to get her hands on one of the women responsible for the attack on her partner, Giovanna.

Knots: It is amazing. I have never seen someone so ready for a beat down of her very short career.

"Momma Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J buzzes in the loud speaker as the lights dim. Out walks Miss TKO. Dressed in a traditional boxing robe, she stands by the entry way; taking in the intense reactions she's receiving from the capacity crowd. She touches her knuckles together like she's ready for a fight. She storms down to the ring like a woman on a mission, she's looking to knock somebody out tonight. She slides under the robes, rises to her feet and walks over the corner turnbuckle closest to the announce table. She fingers the referee over to her, she turns her back to the referee. The ref takes off her robe and hands it to the timekeeper. As music slowly fades she drops to her knees, cups her hands together praying before her match begins.

Sharper: Tahlia Orndorff had a great night at Body, Heart and Soul with Syren and Ravyn and many in the wrestling world are talking about these three. They have actually taken out a Steward.

Dawson: But to our bad luck they happen to take out the well liked Steward in the SCW.

Miss TKO steps back into her corner as she stares across the ring and smiles at Maddy burning her with a look.

Dawson: So much tension between these to women.

Knots: Don’t you mean woman and girl.

Sharper: I think that’s what one of them wants you to think.

Maddy approaches the center of the ring ready for the match to start as Francis Evans watches on from the outside. Miss TKO laughs as Maddy gets into her fighting stance. Miss TKO walks around the ring and checks out Maddy. Maddy takes a deep breath and charges at Miss TKO. Maddy pushes Miss TKO into the corner and clubs her a couple of times with her arm, but Miss TKO manages to shove Maddy away and she falls backwards and rolls on the mat and manages to roll all the way through to jump back to her feet.

Dawson: Madison is showing a lot of emotion in her Breakdown debut.

Knots: Hey! Aren’t you going to say anything about Tahila and her Breakdown debut?

Dawson: I’m sorry. Tahila just swatting Madison away like a bug in her Breakdown debut.

Maddy charges at Miss TKO again, but this time Miss TKO easily side steps and Maddy crashes into the corner. Miss TKO grabs her from behind and slams her head into the turnbuckle. Maddy falls out of the corner and hits the mat.

Dawson: The inexperience of Madison is showing through here and Miss TKO is taking advance of that.

Sharper: Miss TKO has an MMA background and with that adapting to the wrestling ring against a very young girl. This could turn into a very bad night.

Miss TKO drags Maddy to the center of the ring and picks her up to her knees. Miss TKO raises her fist to rain down a punch, but Francis Evans jumps on the apron and shouts at Miss TKO.

Dawson: And like an Evans he is trying to step into the spotlight of this match.

Knots: He better be careful. Tahila is a woman I won’t want to cross, some times.

Miss TKO drops Maddy and walks over to Francis and attempts a high kick, but Francis jumps off the apron and Miss TKO’s leg gets caught on the top rope. Maddy manages to sneak up and rolls Miss TKO up a school girl for a pin.

1…

2…

Miss TKO kicks out easily overpowering Maddy’s hold and using her legs to shove Maddy rolling to the ropes before the referee can even get close to a three count. Maddy starts to get up, but Miss TKO rushes over and lays her out with a punch.

Sharper: Tahila with such power, just dominating over Madison.

Miss TKO drags Maddy to the middle of the ring and covers her for the pin.

1…

2…

Maddy shoots her shoulder up off the mat just before the three counts to keep the match going.

Dawson: Madison with the Steward resilience. Something she picked up from Giovanna.

Knots: You mean stupidity. Does she think Tahila is going to ease up on her?

Miss TKO grabs Maddy by her hair and picks her back to her feet. Maddy grabs Miss TKO’s wrist and holds her as Miss TKO has a grip Maddy tries to kick at Miss TKO, but Miss TKO holds her at a distance and she can’t reach. Maddy tries a kick again, but still can’t reach. Miss TKO just to laugh as Maddy suddenly falls back and gets her feet up and Miss TKO gets pull into and monkey tossed over Maddy and falls over to the mat. Miss TKO releases Maddy’s hair and Maddy rolls over and tries for a quick pin.

1…

2…

Miss TKO pushes Maddy off of her breaking the pin.

Dawson: Madison Steward with a monkey tosses to Miss TKO and a near fall for her efforts.

Sharper: I think Tahila is starting to rethink her match here with Madison.

Miss TKO gets back up and Maddy who is already up on her feet grabs Miss TKO by her hair. Francis Evans jumps on the apron shouting instructions to Maddy. Maddy pulls her arm back and releases trying to slap Miss TKO, but Miss TKO blocks it and throws a punch that Maddy can side step out of the way and Miss TKO nails Francis and knocks him off the apron and falling to the ground.

Knots: TKO! TKO! And he is done!

Dawson: Somehow I don’t think that is the first time he’s been hit by a woman.

Maddy and Miss TKO turn to each other and stare down the other. Maddy just to yell at Miss TKO about knocking out Francis. Miss TKO just shrugs her off and reaches out grabbing her by the hair. Miss TKO drags her around the ring and Maddy starts to fight back. She throws a couple of punches knocking TKO back. Maddy turns and runs to the ropes. She bounces off of them getting full speed and dives at Miss TKO with a clothesline, but she ducks and Maddy flies over her and crashes into the mat and her momentum causes her to roll out of the ring.

Dawson: Madison building up a little too much speed.

Knots: Oh something tells me Miss TKO is the least of Maddy’s worries.

The camera shows Syren walking down the aisle and staring at Madison who picks herself up off the mat.

Dawson: Another one of the women responsible for the beating of Giovanna Steward and now is looking to do the same to Madison.

Sharper: This is definitely not the time to call yourself a Steward in the SCW. Madison should go back to Mathews.

Maddy spots Syren and quickly slides back into the ring and to the feet of Miss TKO who drops to her knees and hammers away at her. Miss TKO grabs Maddy by her arm and twist and holds her in an arm bar. Miss TKO picks Maddy up and spins her around and hooks her arms apart and Syren jumps on the apron shaking a can of hair spray in her hand. Miss TKO holds a vulnerable Maddy for Syren.

Dawson: Syren and Tahila are looking to finish what they started at Body, Heart and Soul.

Maddy fights with Miss TKO as the camera shows Francis still laid out on the floor. Syren trash talks Maddy and Maddy jumps as Miss TKO holds she manages to dropkick Syren off the apron and falls back as Maddy and Miss TKO crash down onto the mat.

Sharper: Syren and Tahila plans have backfired on them tonight.

Maddy rolls through and jumps to her feet. Miss TKO gets up and Maddy rushes over and puts her in a headlock and hits the Twist of Fate and plants Miss TKO in the ring.

Dawson: Madison taking advantage of the situation and she hit the Explosion.

Sharper: The Explosion from the Dynamite Kid.

Maddy jumps on Miss TKO and pulls her legs back for the pin.

3!!!

Maddy rolls off of Miss TKO and throws her arms in the air to celebrate. Syren slides into the ring and sprays the hair spray in Maddy’s direction. Maddy backs away and starts to cough and she slides out of the ring and walks over to Francis to wake him up.

Dawson: Madison Steward gets the surprise win tonight as she checks on her manager Francis Evans.

Knots: She might have won, but there is no way she is going to be able to take on Syren, Ravyn and Tahila. Next time they will have her number.

Syren and Miss TKO turn to Maddy and just glare as Madison Steward continues to try and get Francis up.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and “This is How a Heart Breaks” plays throughout the arena and the crowd erupts in cheers as we then see CHBK walk out from the back and take a deep breath. He then starts to make his way down towards the ring as the cheers continue.

Sharper: “And here we go. One of the things we were looking forward to tonight. CHBK told Hudson, they’d straighten things out tonight.”

Knots: “Yeah and CHBK is going to sign his death certificate tonight. Retribution will be his end.”

CHBK reaches the ring and walks up the steel steps. He then enters the ring. He walks around before walking over to Jason Phillips, the ring announcer, and being handed his microphone. CHBK then walks over to the middle of the ring as his music starts to fade out. He smiles as he looks out at the crowd who cheers some more.

CHBK: “Well everyone this seems to be the moment that-“

Suddenly, “Love Me or Hate Me, It Doesn’t Make a Difference” blares throughout the arena. CHBK turns and the crowd roars in boos before “Vicarious” starts to play throughout the arena. Josh Hudson walks out from the back and CHBK then smirks as he then turns and walks across the ring and demands another microphone. Hudson continues down to the ring and walks over to the steel steps. He then walks along the apron before entering the ring. CHBK then turns and immediately throws him a microphone. Hudson grabs it and smirks as CHBK turns to him.

CHBK: “Okay. Cut his music. We may as well do this the way we should.”

The music cuts and the crowd roars and Hudson then jumps in.

Hudson: “Oh I guarantee that this is not going to take long.”

CHBK: “That’s great, because really I don’t think I have a whole hell of a lot to say.”

The crowd roars and cheers.

Dawson: “Oh boy. This is going to be interesting.”

Sharper: “You can cut the tension with a knife.”

CHBK: “So Josh...I think it’s safe to say you want a chance to kick my ass and I think I’m willing to give it to you. So I’m going to make it this simple, I’m the commissioner. I can make matches. I can make it so you and I go at it one more time at Retribution. What do you say?”

The crowd erupts in cheers and Hudson smirks and goes to respond.

Hudson: “No.”

The crowd suddenly starts to slowly go silent and CHBK just smirks a bit.

CHBK: “Oh? Something missing?”

Hudson: “Yes.”

CHBK turns and looks at Hudson as Hudson turns away briefly. He then turns around slowly before starting to talk and slowly working his way back towards looking at CHBK.

Hudson: “See, the last time you and I went at it, I had you in the middle of this ring, struggling to breathe, blood coming out of your mouth and with your ribs snapping in my hands....and our wonderful owner....that bitch that you always protect....”

Hudson smirks as he says that.

Hudson: “...she came down and stopped the match. And I distinctly remember you telling me that wasn’t going to happen. So I’ll tell you what’s missing. I want Sasha Drachewych nowhere near the arena on that night. In fact, I want her nowhere near the city Retribution is being held in. And I don’t just want your word....I want it in writing. I want a contract drawn up that says just that.”

The crowd roars as Hudson moves up to CHBK. CHBK just smiles a bit.

Sharper: “Oh my God....He wants Sasha Drachewych banned from the arena.”

CHBK: “Done.”

The crowd roars some more.

Dawson: “What?!”

Knots: “Oh my God!”

CHBK: “You’ve got your contract. I’ll have it drawn up and in two weeks, we’ll sit in this ring and we’ll sign it in front of the world. And I won’t give you my word, since you just said you don’t trust it. But I will say....bring your lawyer if you don’t trust me.”

“This is How a Heart Breaks” then plays throughout the arena and Josh Hudson and CHBK stand mere inches away from each other as the crowd continues to roar. CHBK and Hudson don’t take their eyes off each other.

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. CHBK has just agreed to keep Sasha Drachewych out of the arena!”

Dawson: “So what does this mean? CHBK’s in charge I guess that night. Does Sasha know?”

Knots: “I hope so.”

The two continue to stand nose to nose in the ring as the crowd continues to roar before the scene then cuts backstage to the office of Sasha Drachewych to see her looking at her television in absolute shock.

Sasha: “What the hell are you doing, Alex?”

Sasha looks up and just turns away in disbelief before a knock is heard at the door. She turns and looks up and we see Kassie Khane appear. The crowd cheers a bit upon seeing her.

Sasha: “Oh, Kassie. Nice to meet you.”

Sasha stands up and then walks over to Kassie and extends her hand. Kassie shakes her hand back.

Kassie: “Nice to meet you, Ms. Drachewych. Everything okay? I can come back.”

Sasha looks a bit flustered before getting her composure back.

Sasha: “Ah, yeah. It’s fine. Please...sit down.”

Sasha directs Kassie to the seat in front of her desk before Sasha goes and sits on the other side of it.

Kassie: “Well I’m a bit concerned. I’ve been away from the business for a while. I was a bit shocked when you contacted me.”

Sasha: “It’s only for a quick question. Plus, I figured it would be best to allow you to come back and see any friends and family. I know Christian and Jason work here...”

Kassie: “It was nice to see my brothers-in-law. But in any case, do you mind if I ask why you wanted me to come in here?”

Sasha takes a deep breath and nods.

Sasha: “Not a problem. See at Body, Heart and Soul, I received a letter. The seal on the letter had the initials K.K.”

Kassie just looks a bit shocked.

Kassie: “Well I’m sorry, I just have no clue what you’re talking about. I don’t even have any of my own seals.”

Kassie nervously laughs.

Sasha: “Alright. Thanks.”

Kassie: “May I ask what was in the letter.”

Sasha: “Sorry. Right now, SCW legal has suggested that I avoid discussing them anymore than I have to.”

Kassie: “Alright. Well, in any case, thank you for providing me with a chance to come and visit.”

Sasha: “Not a problem. Very nice to meet you and sorry to trouble you.”

Kassie and Sasha stand up and again, exchange a handshake. Kassie Khane then turns and steps out of the office. Sasha Drachewych drops down into her chair and just shakes her head as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up in the locker room of Infection. Greg can be seen pacing back and forth as Drachewych just shakes his head at the television.

Greg: “What the hell was that? Of course CHBK was busy. He’s too possessed with getting revenge. He can give himself a favour but he can’t give me the title shot I deserve!”

Drachewych: “Greg....please!”

Greg: “Or what?”

Drachewych: “Can you shut up for a minute?”

Drachewych turns to Greg.

Greg: “You know...I don’t need you-“

Drachewych: “You know you do. Nothing stops CHBK and Sasha from firing you if they really wanted it and you know it. You need me to keep you in line right now because you’re flying off the God damned deep end.”

Drachewych pauses as Greg grits his teeth. At this point, Matt Bishop, Drew Weilacher and Stacy Kissinger are all in shock.

Drachewych: “And you know it.....”

Drachewych then turns and looks back at the television screen, trying to refocus.

Greg: “Well what’s your great plan....”

Drachewych then starts to smile.

Drachewych: “CHBK said he’ll give us an answer tonight....we’ll see what it is. But I think both he and Sasha may have just made some very big mistakes.”

Drachewych smiles as the crowd boos in the arena. The camera focuses on Drachewych for a bit longer before the scene cuts back to ringside.

Sharper: “I don’t like the sound of that.”

Dawson: “Well I don’t know what he’s thinking, but this may be good news for Infection and bad news for everyone else.”

Aaron Rupp vs. Blake Mason

SCW World Championship Contendership Tournament - Quarterfinals

"Hero" by Skillet begins to play as the lights dim, a lone spotlight shining down onto the middle of the stage as various other spotlights pan through the crowd, as though they're looking for someone. The Tron is showing various clips from all of Rupp's matches throughout his career. As the lyrics begin, a figure emerges from backstage and steps into the spotlight, his head hidden by the hood of an open sleeveless black leather trenchcoat that reaches down to the figure's ankles. All the other spotlights converge on the figure as he uses his right hand to push the hood off his head and, in one fluid motion, throw his arms out to the sides in a wingspan pose as all the lights come back on and green pyro explodes behind him, just in time for the song to go into the chorus. Once the pyro ceases, Rupp heads down to the ring with a focused and determined look on his face. He hops up onto the apron and enters the ring, removing the trenchcoat and tossing it out of the ring as he stands in his corner, arms folded across his chest as he waits for the bell to sound.

Sharper: “Aaron Rupp about to compete for a semi-finals spot in the contendership tournament. And at Body, Heart and Soul, we saw him with his eye on the Tag Team Championship. But tonight, he’s going to focus on the SCW Championship.”

Knots: “Yeah. Well, he was trying to psych out Liberation. And now....at least, he gets to take on a rival from the past and get knocked around.|”

A "Blake Mason" sign lowers from the ceiling, stopping just above the entrance to the ring. "Just Like You" plays as Blake Mason struts from the backstage area. He walks half way down the ramp. He stops to absorb the crowd react he is currently getting. He clenches his right fist, raises his fist in the air. Not a second later the sign lights up in a huge pyrotechnic display. The sign is now beaming gold, the crowd's jeering gets louder at Blake's larger then life entrance He struts down to the ring, fans booing him as his pyro is still going off. The pyro finally stops just before Blake Mason slides into the ring. He walks over to the nearest turnbuckle and stretches, waiting for the match to start.

Dawson: “Blake Mason and Aaron Rupp have a storied past, but things have changed since we last saw them face each other.”

Knots: “Blake is with Katie. Aaron has bad luck. Things have changed!”

The bell sounds and Aaron Rupp walks out of the corner. Blake just smirks and starts to walk forward. He then walks over towards Rupp before then mockingly limping towards Rupp. Rupp just tenses up before nailing Blake with a smack. Blake turns and the crowd roars. Rupp then clubs him in the back before spinning him around and nailing him with a hard chop and then another. The crowd woos after each shot. Rupp then grabs Blake and whips him into the ropes. Blake bounces off the ropes and Rupp runs over at him and drills him with a hard clothesline. The crowd cheers and Blake rolls over and pops back up before walking over to the ropes. He then turns and walks over towards Rupp and Rupp nails him with a spin kick to the gut and Blake falls down hard to his hands and knees. Rupp then walks around.

Sharper: “Good lord what a kick.”

Dawson: “Frustration no doubt surrounding Aaron Rupp and what he’s been through in recent weeks. Brayden Walker being injured. The attack at the hands of Infection.”

Sharper: “And now, he’s hoping tonight, his fortunes change.”

Blake starts to get up, struggling to breath and Rupp kicks him in the ribs and then hooks his leg before throwing him over with a fisherman’s suplex into a pin.

Blake kicks out. He then rolls over and starts to get up and Rupp grabs him and nails him with a chop. He then turns and goes to send him into the ropes, but Blake spins through and sends Rupp into the ropes. Rupp bounces off the ropes and Blake lowers his head and Rupp kicks. Rupp then turns and runs back into the ropes behind him before running towards Blake, but Blake lifts Rupp up and then throws him down hard throat first on the top rope. Rupp falls back, holding his throat in pain and Blake rolls over and smirks.

Dawson: “And Blake happy with himself as he just dropped Rupp down on the top rope.”

Knots: “The mark of a true wrestler. He knows when he’s turned the tables.”

Blake starts to get up and Rupp rolls over and starts to get up. Blake then grabs him from behind and hoists him up before throwing him back with a half nelson backbreaker. He then goes for the pin.

Rupp gets his shoulder up. He then rolls over and Blake looks up. He then grabs Rupp and starts to lift him up before nailing him with a forearm shiver. Rupp staggers back. Blake then grabs Rupp and whips him into the ropes. Rupp bounces off the ropes and Blake turns and snaps him over with a belly to belly suplex. Rupp hits hard and Blake turns and goes for the pin.

Rupp kicks out again. He rolls over and starts to pull himself up and Blake turns and grabs him and starts to lift him up before turning and running him into the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Blake Mason has been in firm control since that hot shot and Aaron Rupp is in a bad way.”

Knots: “Yeah. And Blake Mason is showing how much he’s grown in just a few months. Aaron Rupp may have had a nice 2009. 2010 is Blake Mason’s year!”

Rupp turns and Blake turns and nails him with a back elbow. Rupp winces and Blake grabs him and whips him across the ring. Rupp bounces off the corner and stumbles forward and Blake grabs him and sets up for a T-Bone suplex, but Rupp blocks it and then nails Blake with a hard back elbow and then another. Blake spins around and Rupp then turns and nails Blake in the back of the head with a hard spin kick. Blake turns and falls into the ropes. Rupp then turns and Blake starts to slowly pull himself up and Rupp grabs him from behind and then throws him back with a release German suplex. Blake rolls over and slowly starts to stir before falling back to the mat. Rupp then turns and starts motioning to Blake to start to get up.

Dawson: “Rupp setting him up.”

Knots: “Blake! Stay down!”

Sharper: “He’s just waiting. He’s laying in wait! Blake Mason may be about to have his head taken off!”

Blake starts to slowly pull himself up and Rupp lunges for the Rupp Dat but Blake ducks. He then spins around and runs over and nails Rupp with a hard right and then another. He grabs Rupp and attempts to whip him into the ropes, but Rupp ducks before spinning under and kicking Blake in the ribs before placing his head between his legs and then lifting him up and then throwing his legs out and hitting the Ruppture. The crowd ohs and Blake rolls over, holding his ribs in pain and Rupp goes for the pin.

The crowd cheers and Rupp rolls over and looks up before pulling himself up. He then falls to a knee as the referee walks over and raises his arm in the air.

Sharper: “And Aaron Rupp picks up the win and he continues.”

Dawson: “His partner Brayden Walker, who is at home recovering from that injury a few weeks back has to be loving this as Aaron Rupp is one step closer to his first ever SCW World Championship shot!”

Rupp gets up and walks around the ring before wincing a bit. Blake remains down as Rupp continues to walk around the ring.

The scene opens backstage and we see Justin Davis standing next to Jessica Winters. The crowd roars before starting to boo and Justin Davis stretches out his neck as Jessica starts to talk.

Jessica: “I am here with Justin Davis and tonight, you’ll be facing the man that you faced at Body, Heart and Soul and attacked with a pair of brass knuckles. Why did you sudden snap like that?”

Davis just smirks.

Davis: “See, this is what I love about this business. Someone finally shows the willingness to do anything they can to win and people start to question their motives. I didn’t do anything particularly off the page. I may have pushed Skylar Desoubrais down. I may have nailed both the referee and Donovan Kayl with brass knuckles. But I’ll be honest....I thought I was going to win using that tactics. See, I’ve heard over and over and over again....a win...is a win....is a win. And to be honest, I like winning. I think everyone saw that. And I want to keep winning.”

Jessica: “But you’ve been doing it without resorting to tactics like brass knuckles.”

Davis: “It was a failsafe. I’ll admit...Kayl brought it. But I brought my backup plan. It didn’t work out for me. But tonight...who knows? We’ll see what happens. But maybe...just maybe....the next time I face the World Champion, I won’t come up short and I won’t get caught by the referee. I’ll just come out the winner.”

Davis then looks at Jessica.

Jessica: “Well thank you for your time Justin. I wish you luck later tonight in your tournament match. Breakdown returns after this.”

Davis smirks as the crowd gives a mixed reaction and the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Bishop Steele vs. Drew Weilacher

"Violence Fetish" sounds over the PA system and the crowd starts to boo as Drew Weilacher walks out onto the ramp, Matt Bishop leading him. Bishop is his ever-arrogant self as he tells the fans how much better he is compared to them as he passes, while Drew growls at the crowd as he comes stalking down the ramp, intimidating fans and children, laughing at their fear. Then he climbs up onto the apron and steps over the ropes into the ring as Bishop waits in his corner outside the ring.

Sharper: “Drew Weilacher looking to continue his slow rise within Infection. Since joining, no doubt his stock has risen.”

Dawson: “But he takes on another rising star here tonight in Bishop Steele.”

Knots: “Yeah, but one guy has two geniuses behind him. The other only has my future girlfriend!”

The lights get dim and silence fills the arena in anticipation of the next match. ‘Forever’ cues of the PA system and the crowd gets hype and erupts. The lights start flickering orange and red. The chorus starts to play as the titantron shows the nightlife in Atlanta, GA.

[Chorus:]
It may not mean nothing to ya'll
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man
I'm shutting shit down at the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man

After the chorus plays the curtains open and Alexis Steele walks out followed by Bishop Steele. The crowd starts to chant Perfection as he stands on the stage and soaks in the essence of the cheering and screaming of the fans. He then raises his arms and red and orange pyros go off simultaneously across the stage. He then makes his way to the ring while the first verse plays.

[Verse 1: Drake]
Last name ever, first name greatest
Like a sprained ankle boy I ain't nothing to play with
It started off local but thanks to all the haters
I know G4 pilots on a first name basis
And your city faded off to brown, nino
She insists she got more class, we know
Swimming in the money come and find me, nemo
If I was at the club you know I ball (Bald), chemo
Drop the mixtape that shit sounded like an album
Who'd have thought a country wide tour would be the outcome
Labels want my name beside the X like malcom
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one
Yeah, nigga I'm about my business
Killing all these rappers you would swear I had a hit list
Everyone who doubted me is asking for forgiveness
If you ain't been a part of it at least you got to witness
Bitches

While making his way down the ramp he touches hands with the fans
in the crowd showing love to his fans. He then climbs into the ring and holds the ropes for Alexis to get in. She poses in the middle of the ring as Bishop climbs the turnbuckle and raises his arms. The chorus plays will he smirks at the crowd as they cheer.

[Chorus:]
It may not mean nothing to ya'll
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man
I'm shutting shit down at the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever man, ever man, ever man

Bishop then climbs down and stands behind Alexis in the center of the ring as she poses in front of him. He raises his hands again and red and orange pyros go off on the corner post as they stand in the center of the ring. Once the pyros are done he then takes of his sunglasses and get ready for his opponent. Alexis climbs out as Bishop starts to pace around the ring.

Sharper: “Bishop Steele can’t be happy about Body, Heart and Soul, but he’ll need to move on. This is the time for him to show how he responds.”

Knots: “Yeah and he can’t throw weapons around in this one either. He’s going to have to go head to head with another monster!”

The bell sounds and Bishop turns and paces out of the corner. Drew Weilacher looks at him and he then starts to walk towards Bishop. Bishop goes to instigate a grapple, but Weilacher quickly knees him in the ribs. Bishop winces and Drew then clubs him in the back. Bishop falls to his knees. Drew clubs him again before lifting him up and jerking on the arm. He then nails Bishop with a headbutt and Bishop staggers back. Drew then walks over and grabs Bishop and goes to send him into the ropes, but Bishop spins through and sends Drew into the ropes. Drew bounces off the ropes and Bishop jumps up and drives his shoulder into him. Drew drops down and then rolls over and gets back up and Bishop Steele turns and runs into the ropes, but Matt Bishop trips him up. Bishop Steele stops and turns around and Drew then runs over and clotheslines him in the back, knocking him forward and into the ropes. The crowd boos as Matt Bishop smirks. Alexis just glares at him across the ring.

Dawson: “And Matt Bishop getting involved early!”

Knots: “No involvement. Just some physical encouragement.”

Sharper: “My ass. Matt Bishop gets involved at any and every opportunity he gets.”

Drew spins Bishop around and nails him with a back elbow. He then whips him across the ring. Bishop bounces off the ropes and Drew runs at him off the rebound before nailing him with a hard clothesline. Bishop rolls over and starts to get up and Drew lifts him up before turning and running him into the corner and spearing him. He then backs up and drives his shoulder into the ribs of Bishop before backing up and thrusting his shoulder in again. He then backs up and grabs Bishop and goes to whip him across the ring, but Bishop counters and then pulls Drew into him and lifts him up with a sidewalk slam. The crowd roars as Bishop rolls over, wincing a bit. Drew starts to get up and Bishop turns and grabs Drew from behind before hoisting him up and throwing him back with a back suplex.

Dawson: “Bishop Steele can do some damage and he just lifted Drew Weilacher like he was nothing!”

Sharper: “That man has pure brute strength and he just showed us a glimpse of it right there and then.”

Drew starts to get back up and Bishop gets up and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and Drew turns and Bishop jumps up and nails him with a kick to the chest. Drew falls back and into the ropes. Bishop smirks as he then walks over and nails him with a hard right before kicking him in the ribs. He drags him out before throwing him over with a snap suplex. The crowd cheers as Bishop goes for the pin.

Weilacher kicks out. Bishop gets up and he then turns and walks into the ropes before bouncing off them and hitting a knee drop. Weilacher rolls over and starts to get up. Matt Bishop quickly hops onto the apron and Bishop Steele just turns and takes a swing at him. Matt Bishop hops back down, frightened. He looks up as Steele smirks and then motions for him to get into the ring, holding open the ropes. The crowd roars. Steele then turns around and Weilacher suddenly lifts him up and hits a huge spinebuster. The crowd boos as Matt Bishop then starts to smirk.

Sharper: “And again!”

Knots: “Hey! Bishop took his eyes off the prize. He invited Matt Bishop into the ring. He forgot he had a match. Wait I’m confused now. Which Bishop was I talking about!”

Dawson: “Well...the referee should be really getting Matt Bishop away from the ring or something. He’s getting more and more involved with every match Weilacher has!”

Bishop winces and rolls over slowly. Weilacher just turns and looks at him and smirks before climbing over his back and as Bishop starts to get up. Weilacher then brings his arm down and hits a crossface punch. He then hits another and another, going back and forth as Alexis just turns away. Weilacher then backs up and grabs Bishop and lifts him up before turning and scooping him up before hitting a backbreaker. He then goes for the pin.

Bishop gets his shoulder up. He then rolls over and Weilacher turns. He then gets up and runs into the ropes and bounces off them before hitting a leg drop. He follows up with another pin attempt.

Bishop kicks out again. Weilacher rolls off and shakes his head. Bishop starts to stir and Weilacher turns and grabs him and Bishop suddenly drives his shoulder into the ribs of Weilacher. Weilacher winces in pain and Bishop then buries his shoulder into the midsection of Weilacher again before getting up and grabbing Weilacher and spinning him around and into a hangman’s neckbreaker. The crowd cheers as Weilacher rolls over, holding his head in pain. Bishop then goes for the pin.

Weilacher gets his shoulder up as Matt Bishop yells into the ring.

Sharper: “Bishop Steele nearly had him.”

Dawson: “And Matt Bishop was ready to take someone’s head off if he didn’t kick out!”

Bishop looks up and then turns and gets up to his feet and walks around. Weilacher turns and gets up and Bishop kicks Weilacher in the ribs. He then double underhooks him. He goes to lift him up, but Matt Bishop then enters the ring. Bishop Steele turns and throws Weilacher down. Bishop Steele goes to grab Bishop, but Bishop dives through the ropes, but Bishop Steele grabs him and starts to pull back. The crowd roars and Steele gets Matt Bishop back into the ring, but Drew Weilacher then gets over and nails Bishop Steele in the back of the head with a boot. Bishop Steele lets go of Matt Bishop and Matt Bishop falls through the ropes and to the apron. Bishop Steele falls against the ropes and bounces back and Weilacher kicks him in the ribs before dragging him up and dropping him down in a variation of the Jersey Devil Driver. The crowd ohs and then boos as Weilacher goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and starts to boo and Weilacher rolls off of Bishop Steele. Steele rolls over, holding his head in pain.

Sharper: “And Matt Bishop interjects himself and helps his client get a win.”

Knots: “What a team!”

Sharper: “Yeah. And Bishop earlier tonight whining about not wanting to get involved in a possible Tag Team Championship match and here, we’ve seen him for the second consecutive show get quite involved!”

Weilacher starts to pull himself up and Matt Bishop pulls himself into the ring. He then walks over and pushes the referee away. Bishop then walks over and grabs Weilacher before raising his arm in victory. The boos continue as Weilacher smiles. He then looks out at the crowd before suddenly Bishop Steele runs over and nails Matt Bishop in the back, knocking him down. Weilacher turns around and Steele spins him around the rest of the way and nails him with a hard right and then a left elbow before kneeing him in the ribs. He then grabs Weilacher’s head and drives his knee into it repeatedly.

Dawson: “Bishop Steele. He’s snapped and he’s going right after Weilacher!”

Knots: “What a sore loser! He attacked him from behind!”

Sharper: “Well Matt Bishop got a bit of his own medicine!”

Knots: “He hit him in the head! He may have a concussion!”

Just then, we see bolting from the back, Stacy Kissinger and surprisingly, behind him, Greg Cherry. Mr. Drachewych can be seen walking behind them, but stopping half way. Yelling at the two to take out their frustrations on Bishop Steele. The crowd boos loudly and Stacy slides into the ring and gets up as Greg slides in after her. Bishop throws Weilacher down and then nails Stacy with a clothesline, knocking her down. Greg however drops down and dropkicks the knee of Bishop Steele. Steele wince and Stacy starts to get up. Greg then gets up and kicks Bishop Steele in the side of the head with the quad kick. Steele rolls over, holding his head in pain as the crowd boos loudly. Stacy then gets up and walks over before starting to stomp away on Bishop Steele, catching him with a few shots to the chest. Weilacher starts to get up and he then turns and drops down, starting to strangle Bishop.

Sharper: “And this is going to be another mugging. It’s three against one. With Drachewych and Matt Bishop, it’s five against one!”

Knots: “Well the idiot is getting what he deserved, going after Weilacher and Matt Bishop like that!”

Weilacher continues to go after Bishop Steele, choking him as Steele tries to push back and plant his feet and power out. Stacy catches a few more boots before suddenly, the big screen shows Stacy’s Chevrolet Camaro outside. Stacy stops and looks up and then we see Jake Starr walking over with a sledgehammer in his hands.

Starr: “Well....well....well.....What do we have here?”

Greg immediately turns and drops out of the ring, seething upon just seeing Jake Starr, but Stacy’s eyes widen as she turns to the car.

Starr: “Hmmm....I think it needs some body work.”

Starr then prods at the car with the end of the hammer. Stacy quickly drops down and exits the ring and joins Greg running to the back. Drachewych turns and starts to go after them and the feed cuts before the crowd roars. We then go back to the ring to see Matt Bishop entering the ring along with Weilacher. The cameras then cut backstage to see Drachewych, Cherry and Kissinger all making their way through the backstage area. Stacy starts to take the lead, remembering where she parked the car.

Sharper: “Infection has been splintered right here as Kissinger, Cherry and our former owner are in hot pursuit of Starr.”

Knots: “Well he’s going to destroy Kissinger’s car that she won at the end of the year Special!”

Dawson: “I hope she’s got a good deductible.”

Sharper: “Well if she had a Toyota, this wouldn’t be a problem as she probably wouldn’t have been able to park the car, but that’s irrelevant.”

Knots: “This isn’t funny!”

Stacy runs a couple more steps before she starts to slow down and sees the car, seemingly still intact. Greg Cherry jogs over and Drachewych starts to move towards them.

Greg: “Where the hell is he?”

Stacy: “I don’t know. The asshole aint he’er.”

Stacy starts to walk around as Drachewych starts to circle in the opposite direction. Greg just turns and throws his arms in the air, obviously frustrated about not getting his hands on Starr.

Stacy: “Ah damn it!”

Drachewych: “What?”

The cameraman comes around and we see a hose sitting inside of Stacy’s gas tank, slowly draining the car of any fuel inside of it. Stacy kicks the tire of the car in anger. The scene turns back to ringside to see Weilacher now standing up and stomping Bishop Steele as Alexis yells at Bishop and Weilacher. Suddenly “Sandstorm” by Darude plays throughout the arena and the SCW World Champion runs down from the back, leading to huge cheers from the crowd. In his hand, however, is that sledgehammer. Weilacher gets up and turns as Bishop gets up and yells at Weilacher. Starr quickly slides into the ring and Weilacher moves over and goes to nail Starr, but Starr ducks and then drives the end of his sledgehammer into the ribs of Weialcher. Weilacher winces and Starr then motions to nail Bishop, but Bishop falls back and quickly exits the ring. Starr smirks before he turns and nails Weilacher in the back of the head with the hammer, knocking him over the top rope and to the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers and Starr starts to walk around the ring before turning to Bishop Steele and starting to slowly helping him up.

Sharper: “Starr I guess just gave a distraction and just came here and saved Bishop Steele!”

Knots: “But why? Who the hell cares about Steele?!”

Dawson: “And Weilacher looks to be out!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Bishop Steele gets up and holds his head in pain. Matt Bishop runs over and goes to check on Weilacher. Starr walks around the ring before smirking and demanding a microphone. Jason Phillips walks over to the ring and hands him one and Starr starts to pace, dragging the sledgehammer behind him as he starts to talk.

Starr: “Why was I not surprised that this worked? See, for weeks and weeks, I knew you idiots would jump anything and so I’ve started to send out feelers of people who want to stand against you and just have a damn good time. Thorn and Helms were the first. Karnivale, they may be a bit crazy, but they’re at least on the right side, but now I’ve got Bishop here and Bishop....damn do you know how to suck them in.”

Bishop smirks as he winces a bit, limping a bit to the ropes.

Starr: “But with all of this said, I think it’s important that I turn to the newest thorns in my side. One old one that I feel is going to lead me to be infected....no pun intended and the other....I don’t know what to think. Greg....I already beat ya once. Do you really want to tango again? What reason do you have to think it will go differently? Your one lucky win at the start of the year? Well, bring it. Let’s see if CHBK will let you have one more go to prove that I’m still better than you!”

The crowd roars and Starr smiles as he continues to pace before lifting his sledgehammer in the air.

Starr: “And while this may not be a lead pipe, I think I’ve got you outdrawn Damian. I don’t know what the hell you’re doing. I don’t care. I just know that you’ve been way to close to my matches for my liking. You may be Sasha’s helper or whatever you want to call it, but Damian....you’ve only shown it in my matches. Something I don’t like. Maybe this is all just a ploy by you to weaken me for James Exeter. I don’t know. Nobody knows anything about you and to be honest, I don’t really care. I’m just letting you know that if you cross me, I’ll shove this sledgehammer so far up your ass, we can use your head to put the ring together!”

Starr then drops the sledgehammer and he then looks forward to the camera.

Starr: “But long story short, I dare Infection to try and take me on. I dare Damian Angel to try me. And I wish luck to whoever wins the tournament. Some may be new found allies...some may be people I could care less about. The fact of the matter is that at the end of the day, I’m going to be the World Champion and the world better deal with it!”

The crowd cheers as “Sandstorm” starts to play throughout the arena just as Greg Cherry, Drachewych and Kissinger walk back out on stage. Drachewych holds Greg back as he just glares at the ring. Starr turns and smirks as Bishop Steele just motions “up yours” to them. Greg continues to glare as Steele and Starr continue to walk around the ring. Alexis joins them as Matt Bishop and Drew Weilacher start to make their way up the rampway

The scene cuts backstage to see Sasha Drachewych on the phone in her office. The phone, on speakerphone, can be heard as rings are heard on the other side.

RING.....

RING....

The phone can be heard being answered.

???: “Hey yo!”

Sasha: “Ah....Kenny? Kenny Kliche?”

Kliche: “Hey! Sexy lady. Who’s this?”

Sasha: “I’m Sasha Drachewych of Supreme Championship Wrestling.”

Kliche: “Oh yeah. I remember that! That was a blast!”

Sasha: “I’m wondering if I can trouble you for a moment of your time.”

Kliche: “Sure thing. Hey? Are you single?”

Sasha: “Mr. Kliche. Please focus.”

Kliche: “Yup!”

Sasha: “I received a letter with the initials K.K. on the seal. There are only so many individuals that have those initials that have been involved with SCW. Did you send me the message?”

Kliche: “Well it got me a phone call with you, so I’d love to say yes. But no...I did not send you it. But can I pretend to.”

Sasha: “Sorry. You probably don’t want to. Sorry to bother you. Have a nice evening.”

Kliche: “No problem. And feel free to call anytime!”

Kliche can be heard giggling on the other side of the line as Sasha just rolls her eyes before ending the call. She then lets out a sigh as the scene slowly fades to black.

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up backstage to see Kassie Khane walking backstage down one of the main hallways. Kassie then smiles as she walks over to one individual and stops and looks over. The camera moves back and sees Chris Lawler talking to someone. The individual then motions to Lawler that someone’s behind him and Lawler turns around and he sees Kassie Khane before smiling and leaning over and hugging her.

Kassie: “Nice to see you too.”

Lawler: “Nice to see you. I haven’t seen you in a while. How are you doing?”

Kassie: “Not bad. Not too bad.”

Lawler: “Everything going well with the kids.”

Kassie: “Always. They’re growing up so fast. But I miss the business. Sasha Drachewych had me back to just discuss a few things with me.”

Lawler: “Oh? Is the Valet of Champions going to be back?”

Kassie: “I don’t know.”

Lawler: “Come on. Heck. I know one person who may be open to joining your cliental.”

Kassie laughs a bit.

Kassie: “We’ll see.”

Lawler laughs a bit before suddenly a yell is heard and we see a boot run over and drill Lawler in the chest. Kassie shrieks as she steps back. Lawler falls back and hits the wall before moving forward and the attacker pulls Lawler into a shortarm clothesline. The crowd then roars before we see it to be Adam Riddick. Lawler rolls over and starts to stir only for Riddick to stomp Lawler several times in the head. The crowd gives a largely mixed reaction before Kassie looks at Riddick completely confused.

Riddick: “Sorry Chris....if she’s returning....she’s going to be with me.”

Kassie looks up and looks still a bit taken aback as Riddick smirks and starts to back away from Lawler before turning to Kassie and telling her to follow him before the scene cuts back to ringside.

Knots: “Oh my God....someone has anger issues.”

Sharper: “Is Adam Riddick back? He just took out Chris Lawler. What in the world is going on tonight?”

Just then, we hear a rumbling through the crowd and the cameras start to jerk back and forth before one cameraman is knocked down and the cameras quickly change as boos come from the crowd and we see a large man in an IWC t-shirt walk over towards the timekeeper’s table and snatch a microphone. We then see several security members show up and start to walk over.

???: “You may want to keep back unless you want to lose an arm.”

The crowd roars and the man then actually runs up the steel steps and enters the ring.

???: “Well isn’t this well....Too Magnificent....Oh yes it is, because Too Mag is here in SCW and this is probably the shining moment of this entire damn show. But I’m not here to boost your ratings or scare the little ones. No, I’m here to instead turn it to the back there. Because with this little Supershow shin-dig going on, I was thinking...how can Too Mag not just make an impact...how can I not just knock some SCW jackasses around....how can I also break countless of bones and enjoy every minute of it?!”

Knots: “Come on. Get him out of here.”

Sharper: “For those wondering, this is Too Magnificent of IWC and I don’t know what to say right now.”

Dawson: “Nothing. Just get security in there and get him out of there. This is an event about competition and having matches never before seen and he wants to make it about bodily harm!”

Too Mag walks around laughing a bit.

Too Mag: “And I was thinking about how I hear people with names like Dangerous....or the Suicide Queen....or the Most Violent Man on the Planet and I laugh because apparently this is where they are....SCW? S? C? W? How can that be? Especially since the man who is more brutal...more violent and just down right brutal that all others is standing right there and the letters on my chest are not SCW. Oh no...they are I! W! C!”

The crowd boos as Too Mag smirks and he looks around before “Downfall of us All” plays throughout the arena and we see walking out from the back, David Helms. He smirks as he walks out, cigarette lit in his mouth. He swaggers a few steps before pulling out a microphone and continues on his way to the ring. Security starts to hop onto the apron.

Helms: “Whoa...whoa....Security. Please slow down for just a moment. Allow this crazy man some time.”

Helms smirks as he continues on his way to the ring.

Helms: “Now, I like your style. Too bad that I don’t agree with a damn thing you said. But that’s alright. Because how about this...you want something brutal....you want something devastating. Well, how about you and me go at it at this Supershow and really see who the most violent, most sadistic son of a bitch is?!”

The crowd roars and Too Mag smirks and he laughs a bit before turning back to Helms.

Too Mag: “Oh that’s just not good enough. To destroy one of you SCW pissants...that’s just not enough. Oh no.....I want to destroy any and all comers!”

Helms just throws his arms up in the air.

Helms: “Well I don’t think I have the authority for that one, but-“

Just then, “L1FEl!KE” plays throughout the arena and the crowd roars as we see Rachel Foxx walk out from the back, the SCW Underground Championship over her shoulder. Too Mag smiles upon seeing her. Rachel Foxx takes a few steps out before revealing a microphone in her hands. Helms just turns and glares.

Rachel: “Now...David....let the person who actually knows how to be brutal talk to the crazy guy here.”

Rachel then lets out a laugh as David Helms just shakes her head.

Rachel: “Then you and I can beat each other half to death for a World Title spot....but Too Mag....it seems to me that you and I are very much alike. We both enjoy bringing pain and punishment to any and all who stand in our way and I also enjoy doing it in bulk. So allow me to come up with something that can satisfy both of our....urges!”

Rachel smirks before looking down at the ring.

Rachel: “How about we have a little invitational. You find anyone in IWC who isn’t a panty-waste. And anyone in SCW who has the balls to try and out brutalize me. We’ll throw them in one match. And we beat each other senseless. The man or....woman...”

Rachel smiles as this point.

Rachel: “Who emerges victorious is the true King...or more appropriately, Queen of Hardcore. Too Mag....do you like?”

Helms actually salivates at the ideas well as Too Mag starts to nod. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Rachel: “Fantastic....”

Rachel lets out another laugh as the crowd cheers and Too Mag smiles widely.

Helms: “Well, then with some agreement...security...get him out of that ring...I have an Underground Champion to beat!”

Just then, security, almost as if Helms was the boss himself, jumps into action entering the ring. Too Mag turns and goes to strike one, but they manage to push him back into the corner. The crowd roars and Rachel Foxx then suddenly drops her microphone and runs down towards Helms, but Helms turns and ducks as Rachel attempts to nail him with the Underground Championship. Helms then turns and nails Rachel with the microphone and Rachel staggers back. Helms then kicks her in the ribs before dragging her over and driving her face first into the apron.

Sharper: “Well Too Mag is being subdued in the ring. We’ve got a huge match made for March 1^st and Rachel and David are starting their match already!”

Knots: “This is insanity!”

Sharper: “Well allow us to get some order here. When we return, Helms and Foxx battle it in our contendership tournament. Who will move on to the semi-finals? Don’t go anywhere?!”

The crowd roars as Helms turns and throws Rachel into the steel steps. Too Mag tries to reach through the ropes to grab Helms, but security pulls him and start to drag him out of the ring as the scene fades to black.

Rachel Foxx vs. David Helms

SCW World Championship Contendership Tournament - Quarterfinals

Breakdown returns and we see Helms being thrown hard into the corner. The crowd boos as Rachel Foxx turns and smirks as she taunts the crowd.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and we join this match in progress as David Helms and Rachel Foxx are going at it for a spot in the semi-finals of the SCW Championship contendership tournament. The winner will get a shot at the World Championship at Retribution.”

Knots: “Yeah and Rachel Foxx is taking apart David Helms just after we saw an interesting moment involving the Underground Championship!”

Helms starts to move out of the corner and Rachel Foxx turns and goes to grab him, but Helms grabs Rachel and spins her into the corner before nailing her with a hard shot and then another and another before grabbing her and snapmaring her out of the corner. Rachel winces and Helms then hits a chop to her back. The crowd woos and Rachel rolls over, wincing. She gets up and Helms kicks her in the ribs before turning and whipping her into the ropes. Rachel bounces off the ropes and Helms turns and lifts her up before throwing her back with a Samoan drop. He turns and hooks the leg.

Rachel kicks out. Helms rolls off and Rachel rolls over. She slowly starts to get back up and Helms walks over and clubs her in the back.

Sharper: “Helms pounding on the individual that beat him for the Underground Championship just two weeks ago.”

Knots: “Yeah and he’s somehow gotten another shot. How the hell does that work?”

Dawson: “Make a challenge and if she accepts, voila!”

Helms spins Rachel around and then grabs her and drags her out from the ropes before then turning and driving her face first into his knee. Rachel rolls over. Helms then gets up and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and attempts a jumping elbow drop, but Rachel rolls out of the way. Helms rolls over and gets back up and Rachel turns and dropkicks him in the chest, knocking him down. Helms gets back up and Rachel grabs him and hits a jawbreaker before quickly hitting a spinning heel kick. She turns and goes for the pin.

Helms kicks out. Rachel gets up and then grabs the face of Helms and drives her elbow into the face a couple of times before going down and starting to bite the face. Helms stamps his feet in pain as the referee calls for the break.

Sharper: “My God! She’s biting him!”

Dawson: “We know she’s vicious. We know she’s got no morals and apparently, she’s got no respect for Helms!”

Rachel gets off of Helms as the crowd boos. Helms rolls over and slowly starts to stir. He starts to get up and Rachel kicks him in the back. Helms winces. Rachel then grabs him and lifts him up before then spinning him around and nailing him with a forearm and then another. Rachel then grabs him and hooks him up, but Helms blocks it. He then spins through and hits a hard snap suplex. The crowd ohs as Rachel rolls over, holding her back. She gets back up and Helms gets back up before running over and clotheslining Rachel down. Rachel rolls over and starts to get back up and Helms grabs her before whipping her into the ropes. Rachel bounces off the ropes and Helms attempts to lift her up for a back body drop, but Rachel spins through. Helms spins around and Rachel then drops him with the Foxx Girl Stunner. The crowd ohs and Rachel falls back before turning and going for the pin.

Knots: “Foxx Girl Stunner! Yes!”

Sharper: “This may be it. She hit it perfectly!”

Helms kicks out. The crowd cheers. Rachel rolls over and slowly starts to get up. She walks around and stomps Helms a few times. Helms rolls over and reaches for the ropes. Rachel then grabs him and starts to drag him up, but Helms then falls down and hits a jawjacker. Rachel staggers back and falls to a knee. She then starts to pull herself up and Helms gets up before turning and nailing Rachel with a hard right. Rachel staggers back. Helms then nails her again and Rachel staggers back some more. She then moves forward and Helms then scoops her up and plants her with a powerslam. He then rolls over and starts to get up before turning and looking at Rachel. Rachel starts to stir and Helms then runs at her and nails her with a running knee lift and Rachel falls back. The crowd cheers for Helms as he looks out at the crowd and then back at Rachel.

Sharper: “High knee lift. Rachel is down. She’s dazed!”

Dawson: “Could that be enough to help David Helms move on? Go for the pin, Dave!”

Helms walks around. He then grabs Rachel and lifts her up before calling for the end. He then turns and whips Rachel into the ropes. Rachel bounces off the ropes and Helms goes for the hip toss piledriver, but Rachel drops down and slides between his legs. Helms steps forward and then turns around and attempts a back elbow, but Rachel ducks. She then grabs Helms and hits the Pandora’s Foxx. The crowd ohs and then boos as Rachel slowly rolls Helms over and goes for the pin.

The crowd boos more and Rachel rolls off. She smiles as she falls forward. She then slowly starts to pull herself up.

Sharper: “Rachel gets another victory over David Helms as these two keep trading wins.”

Knots: “But Rachel got another big one and she moves forward in the tournament!”

Dawson: “Could Rachel Foxx be on her way to being the first female World Champion?”

Rachel smiles as she has her arm raised. She walks around the ring as Helms rolls over, holding his face in pain and slowly starting to exit the ring. Rachel just smirks and lets out a laugh as Alex Desoubrais Jr. runs down to enjoy the celebration with Rachel and the scene fades to black.

Breakdown cuts backstage and we see CHBK walking down the hallway as the crowd roars in cheers. He then walks over towards the Infection locker room and knocks on the door. He waits for a few moments before stepping in and Greg and Drachewych turn to him as Stacy Kissinger just glares.

Kissinger: “So...someone’s sneaking a peek.”

CHBK: “You’re the one sharing a dressing room with four men.”

Kissinger glares as CHBK then turns to Drachewych and Greg.

CHBK: “Well....I told you I’d consider your request tonight and here I am.”

Drachewych: “Stop with the games.”

Greg: “You better answer with a yes.”

CHBK: “Don’t worry Greg. See, I’m going to give you your rematch. Because well because I know how much you, Oleksa, support the IWC/SCW Supershow...I’m going to give you your rematch then as part of that huge fatal four way match that will see two IWC wrestlers and two SCW wrestlers and both World Titles on the line for the respective companies.”

Greg just smirks as Drachewych grumbles.

Greg: “Heh...those scrubs.

CHBK: “Oh...but you’ll need to put your Adrenaline Championship on the line.”

Greg just looks at CHBK.

Greg: “You’re going to give Jake that....you know what....I can live with that.”

CHBK: “Actually, sorry, I wasn’t finished. See, the Adrenaline Championship will be on the line at that match...providing you still have it. See....from here on out, if you want your World Championship shot. You need to put your Adrenaline Championship on the line, every match you’re in...including tonight.”

Greg: “What? How the hell is that fair?”

CHBK: “Greg....allow me to teach you something. You never show how much you want something. The cost is always going to then go up.....oh....and Have a nice day.”

CHBK smirks before turning and leaving the locker room. Greg turns and then grabs a light before throwing it down into the wall. He lets out a yell as Drachewych just shakes his head unimpressed.

Sharper: “Oh my! The Adrenaline Championship will now be on the line tonight and Greg Cherry has to defend the Adrenaline Championship in every match he’s in. That’s his price for a rematch.”

Knots: “That’s not fair! It’s not fair!”

Sharper: “Well the commissioner has ruled that. Good lord!”

Marina Trent vs. Ravyn Taylor

Dawson: “Up next we have some of our own lethal ladies in action, as one-half of “Dark Fantasy”, Ravyn Taylor, takes on the Karnivale’s own “Cerulean Tear”, Marina Trent.”

Sharper: “Both women have had their share of the spotlight in recent weeks. Ravyn, alongside our SCW Women’s Champion, Syren, have been dominating the tag division on the side, as well as the recent alliance with “Ms. TKO”, Thalia Orndorff, in an effort to wipe the Stewards out completely.”

Dawson: “And being wiped out has to be on the back of Marina’s mind as well, since the Infection has turned a rather cold eye to the Karnivale, including a brutal assault in Karnivale’s own locker room just two weeks ago. You have to wonder if Marina is still feeling the effects of that.”

Knots: “Of course she is, but nowhere near as bad as her little drug dealer boyfriend. Did you see the look on Shilo’s face when Weilacher broke that door right off its hinges? …That was beautiful, wasn’t it?! …I hope they lay those clowns out again. I love watching clowns get beat down. I still remember this one time, on my ninth birthday. My parents hired this stupid clown, and I found out about it, so I---”

“Whispers in the Dark" by Skillet begins to play as the lights change to a gentle cerulean color. The fans cheer and yell their support as a light mist settles along the length of the ramp. With all in place, a figure rises from beneath the mist, her back to the audience. Running her hands through her hair and down her body sensually to the music, she earns excited cries and wolf calls from the audience. Turning slowly, the audience sees the amber eyes and smiling face of the “Cerulean Tear”, Marina Trent. With a sudden turn, Marina faces the ring and makes her way down the ramp, her body swaying with every step. Reaching the right side of the ring, she pulls herself up and looks at the many cheering fans before back-flipping over the ropes and landing on her feet in the ring. Finally, reaching the bottom left turnbuckle, Marina pulls herself up on the second turnbuckle, blowing a kiss with both hands to the audience as a tease to the audience before the lights return to normal and she awaits her opponent.

Dawson: “Thank God for Marina Trent!”

Sharper: “Tell me about it.”

Knots: (Mumbling) “Clown-lovers.”

Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes blasts across the PA system as the lights come back up again and the screens fill with text.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to the stage dressed in a fur cloak and hood, standing there for a moment raising her arms in to the air and seemingly absorbing the atmosphere with a satisfied grin on her face. As the chorus of the song kicks in she walks down to the ring, leaping up on to the apron and ducking down underneath the middle rope, slipping in to the ring. Once in the ring Ravyn climbs the turnbuckles, raising her arms as though in celebration of herself before jumping back down to the ring and leaning in the corner. She drops the cloak to the outside of the ring before collapsing to a seated position in the corner and smiling up both Marina, as well as the referee.

Dawson: “Much like Loki and Andrew Pugh earlier in the night, this is a case of technical ground game versus aerial acrobatics. Though, I have to admit I think Ravyn might be quite a bit more experienced than ASP.”

Sharper: “Plus, add in the fact that, like you said, Marina is coming off a violent assault at the hands of Stacy Kissinger and Drew Weilacher, and that definitely stacks the odds in Ravyn’s favor.”

The referee signals for the ring and Marina starts to close in on Ravyn. Grabbing the ropes, Ravyn pulls herself up to her feet and lashes out with a forearm, catching Marina in the side of the head. Ravyn follows it up with a second, then a third; followed by a dropkick to the knee, sending Marina down to the mat. Marina pushes herself back up, and Ravyn catches her with a hard right hand, then a chop across the chest, followed by another one, before slapping her hard across the face. Marina grabs her cheek, then returns the slap, knocking Ravyn’s head aside. Turning with the momentum, Ravyn lands a back-fist to the side of Marina’s head, knocking her into the ropes. As she comes off, Ravyn drives a knee into her gut, and flips her over with a hip toss. Marina lands in a seated position and Ravyn flips over her with a rolling neck snap, sending Marina’s head smashing back to the mat. Getting to her feet, Ravyn stalks Marina and pulls her up, unleashing a series of right hands and knife chops, before whipping Marina into the corner. She backs into the near corner and charges across the ring, leaping up for a monkey flip, but Marina ducks out of the way. Ravyn lands on the middle rope and turns. Marina gets to her feet as Ravyn jumps off with a missile dropkick, catching Marina in the chest and knocking her to the mat. The crowd lets out a building cheer as Ravyn gets back to her feet. On her knees, Marina tries to push herself up, but Ravyn runs up behind her with a chop block, causing Marina to scream in pain, grabbing her knee as she falls to the mat.

Dawson: “Ravyn has just taken complete control of this match, keeping the pressure on Marina from the opening bell. That last chop looked like it might have twisted Trent’s knee, too.”

Sharper: “Marina loves to fly, but that won’t be happening if she can’t put any weight on that leg.”

Grabbing the injured leg, Ravyn stomps on the knee, and then drops her own knee on it, causing Marina to scream in pain both times as she rolls away, clutching the leg. Ravyn just smiles and crawls after her, using a handful of hair to pull Marina back to her feet. Limping on her good leg, Marina sends a stiff shot to Ravyn’s ribs, then another one, before grabbing a handful of hair and wrenching back, slamming Ravyn down to the mat on the back of her head. Collapsing down to one knee, Marina grabs at her bad leg again, before pushing back up to her feet. Hobbling over to the ropes, she kicks the pain out as best she can before limping back over to Ravyn, who is just starting to get up. Marina catches her with a kick to the knee, and then a stiff forearm to the side of the head, rocking Ravyn up against the corner. Planting her hands on Ravyn’s shoulders, Marina jumps up onto them, and falls back with a hurricanrana, throwing Ravyn out of the corner and down to the mat. Rolling back up to her feet, Marina immediately jumps onto the second rope, and spins around into a cross-body, catching Ravyn as she stands and falling into the pin.

One!

Two!

Ravyn shoves her off and rolls away, using the ropes to get to her feet. Favoring her leg, Marina gets up quickly and rushes in with a baseball slide, knocking Ravyn’s ankles out from under her. Pushing up to her knees, Marina grabs Ravyn and pulls her up, standing behind her. Grabbing the woman’s head in both hands, Marina sits out with an inverted face-buster, smacking the back of Ravyn’s skull off the canvas. As Ravyn cradles her head, Marina grabs her feet and flips over into a bridged pin.

One!

Two!

Th-No!

Sharper: “Ravyn kicking loose just in time. Whatever advantage she had by weakening that leg seems to be getting smaller and smaller… Marina’s not flying through the air, but she’s certainly outmaneuvering the more grounded Ravyn.”

Knots: “She’s probably hopped up! …Her boyfriend comes out here shooting God knows what into these fans, and yet no-one says anything. I want… No, I demand a full and complete drug screening on every member of Karnivale! …Matter of fact, stop this match and do it now!”

Dawson: “… Should we check Drew Weilacher for steroids while we’re at it?”

Knots: (Sputters) “Are you insulting the Infection AGAIN?! …Haven’t you given up on that, yet? …Infection is the future, Jimmy! …Try to get that through your head before Christmas, ok? …Make it your resolution.”

Pushing to her feet, Marina grabs a handful of Ravyn’s hair and pulls her up as well, only to catch a thumb to the eye. The crowd jeers loudly, but Ravyn just smiles and stands up behind Marina, grabbing her by the head and smashing her face into the nearest turnbuckle. Then she does it again, and again, and again for a count of five. Grabbing Marina by the arm, Ravyn starts to whip her across the ring, but stops and pulls her back at full force, smashing her off the turnbuckles. Marina hits the canvas and groans, clutching at her ribs as she rolls onto her knees. Backing into the ropes, Ravyn aims a savage kick for Marina’s head, but the “Cerulean Tear” grabs it, and spins around into a modified dragon screw, bringing Ravyn down hard to the mat with a scream of pain. Now Ravyn grabs at her leg, as Marina pulls herself to her feet. The crowd cheers as she grabs Ravyn’s foot and tries to lock in the “Only Hope”. Kicking with her free leg, Ravyn smashes her foot into Marina’s bad knee, causing her to break her hold and stagger back. Rolling to her knees, Ravyn pushes to her feet and lunges, spearing Marina through the ropes. Marina’s body bounces off the apron and lands hard on the mats, while Ravyn simply falls all the way down to the floor.

Dawson: “And here they come to the outside, right in front of this capacity crowd!”

Sharper: “Ravyn with that big spear, trying to save herself from what looked like an ankle lock of some kind. I didn’t expect Marina to look for a submission like that. Maybe that leg is giving her trouble?”

Dawson: “Could be. Either way, things are getting a little more intense for both women.”

Fans crowd against the guardrail as Ravyn pulls herself up first. Grabbing the side of the ring, Marina pulls herself up, too, but catches a soccer-style kick to the ribs from Ravyn. Forcing Marina’s face down onto the apron, Ravyn grinds it back and forth across the canvas, before throwing her into the guardrail, causing the fans to boo a little louder. Holding her back, Marina grimaces in pain, before Ravyn pulls her back up and stomps at her knee, trying to damage it even more. Scooping Marina up onto her shoulder, Ravyn tries to gut-bust her over the guardrail, but Marina slips down behind her, catching an inverted facelock on the way, and drives Ravyn into the floor with a reverse DDT. Cheers echo from the crowd as Ravyn thrashes in pain, holding her head while Marina pulls herself to her feet and crawls back in the ring.

Knots: “Oh, sure, run away! …Run away! …That’s all Karnivale knows how to do is talk big and run.”

Dawson: “Stopping the count is running?”

Knots: “No. Stopping the count was the excuse!”

Sitting up on the mat, Marina rubs at her knee, kicking her leg to try and work out the pain, as Ravyn starts to pull herself up on the outside. Leaning on the guardrail, Ravyn winces and shakes her head, before moving over to climb up onto the apron. Pulling herself up with the ropes, Marina nails Ravyn with a forearm to the side of the head, then a hard right hand that leaves Ravyn reeling. Grabbing two handfuls of hair, Marina flips Ravyn over the ropes and back into the ring the hard way. Ravyn sits up and holds her back as Marina backs into the ropes and comes off with a low dropkick to the back of the head, sending Ravyn rolling across the mat. Pushing to her feet, Marina follows and pulls Ravyn back up while slipping behind her, looking for a belly-to-back suplex. Ravyn counters by wrapping her foot around Marina’s, then snaps an elbow back into her jaw, forcing Marina to stagger away. Turning around, Ravyn grab’s Marina’s arms, crosses them against her throat and drops back with the straight-jacket double-knee backbreaker.

Sharper: “Good God!”

Dawson: “The Black Plume from Ravyn; and Marina is in a world of hurt right now.”

Sharper: “That she is, but Ravyn isn’t moving either. After that drop on the outside, her own head’s got to be spinning by now, too.”

Standing between the two women, the referee looks from one to the other, before starting to make the standing ten count. Breathless, Ravyn rolls onto her side, but continues to lay there. On the other side, Marina lays with her back arched, teeth clenched in agony as she holds her spine, trying to fight the pain.

Dawson: “One of them needs to try and make a cover here. Both of them are exhausted…”

Knots: “Well, since neither one of these cows looks like they get that much exercise, I’m not surprised.”

Sharper: “Oh, Lord…”

Knots: “Good idea, Sharpie. Pray for Marina… Better yet, prey this nightmare’s over soon.”

Dawson: “I pray for that every time I have to sit down next to you.”

Ravyn finally pushes up onto her knees, as the referee reaches the sixth count. Glassy-eyed, she looks across the ring and sees Marina still cradling her back. Crawling as best she can, she slumps down on her and hooks the leg, trying to stack Marina up on her shoulders.

One!

Two!

Marina hooks an arm through Ravyn’s and reverses the pin. The crowd explodes with anxious cheers!

One!

Two!

Th-NOO!

Groans echo through the arena as Ravyn kicks loose. Marina falls to her back with a look of shock, staring up at the lights as Ravyn rolls onto her side, and continues to gasp for breath. A slow ovation builds up in the crowd, before it breaks into deafening applause, with faint chants of “This-Is-Awe-Some” trickling in from the back rows. Slowly, Ravyn rolls onto her stomach, then pushes up to her knees, only to stumble into the ropes. The referee moves in to check on her, but she shoves him away and looks for Marina, who has rolled over to the other side of the ring. Using the ropes, Marina pulls herself up to her feet, and turns to face Ravyn, the two of them staggering back to the center of the ring again as the cheers grow louder.

Sharper: “And both women right back where they started. What…A…War.”

Knots: “I couldn’t agree more.”

Dawson: “What? …I thought you wanted it over.”

Knots: “I do! …Oh, wait… Sorry. I thought you said ‘what a bore’... My mistake.”

Dawson: (Quietly) “You ARE a mistake.”

Both women stare each other down a minute, before Ravyn lands a hard right hand. Marina answers with a right hand of her own, which Ravyn answers with a knife edged chop. Marina returns the chop and lands a hard kick to Ravyn’s gut, knocking her back against the ropes. Ravyn rebounds and smashes through Marina with a stiff lariat, knocking her to the mat. Marina rolls to her knees, and Ravyn kicks her in the side of the head, then in the ribs. Grabbing a handful of hair, Ravyn pulls Marina to her feet, but Marina breaks loose and delivers a European uppercut, then grabs the dazed Ravyn and takes her down with a snapmare. Delivering a stiff kick to the woman’s spine, Marina charges into the ropes and comes back with a front dropkick to Ravyn’s face. Ravyn rolls away in pain as Marina gets to her feet and stalks after her, dropping a knee into the small of her back, then floating into a side headlock, using it to drag Ravyn back to her feet. Grabbing both Ravyn’s hands, Marina crosses her arms up against the front of her throat.

Dawson: “Tear Drop!”

Sharper: “Talk about a hard-won victory.”

Stepping in front of Ravyn’s foot, Marina starts to drop her into the face-buster, but Ravyn snaps her head back, catching her in the jaw. Marina’s grip weakens, but she tries to force Ravyn into the face-buster again, but again Ravyn counters with a backward head-butt. Lifting her leg, Ravyn kicks back into Marina’s injured knee, causing her to buckle with a cry of pain. Grabbing Marina’s hands, Ravyn spins out of the cross-armed hold and swings around to face Marina, moving her grip to the back of the woman’s head before leaping up and dropping to her back, dragging Marina’s face down into both of her upraised knees.

Dawson: “She reversed it!”

Sharper: “Right into that face-breaker!”

Marina’s body twitches a few times as she reaches up to cradle her face. Rolling to her knees, Ravyn shoves Marina onto her back and slumps into the pin.

One!

Two!

Three!

Knots: “I don’t know what’s worse… The stupid poem or the chick! …Both of them go on forever!”

Dawson: “Ravyn picking up one hell of a hard-won victory with that Evolutionary Synthesis. But, my god, talk about a war. If that wasn’t a perfect example of what makes SCW the only option in sports entertainment, I don’t know what is. Both of those young women deserve a round of applause.”

Sharper: “You’re not kidding, Jim. Either one of them could have landed that last-minute move. Marina looked like she had the ‘Drop’ cinched in… Ravyn was just a couple steps too far ahead.”

With “Open Your Eyes” still playing, Ravyn uses the ropes to pull herself back up to her feet as the referee kneels down to check on Marina. Loud boos echo from the crowd as Ravyn cracks a devious smile and turns to look down at her bloodied opponent. All at once, the music cuts out, causing Ravyn to look up in confusion, as three figures emerge from backstage, causing the crowd to jeer even louder than before.

Sharper: “Oh, no… This is all we need right now.”

Dawson: “What do they want?”

Flanked by TJ Johnson and Blake Mason, Katie Steward stands at the center of the stage, her eyes locked on the battered Ravyn, who stands inside the ring with a harsh glare in her eyes. Behind her, the referee helps Marina to the ropes so she can exit, leaving Ravyn by herself. Onstage, Katie turns and says something TJ, before motioning to the ring. Grinning, Johnson immediately starts down the ramp, wringing his hands together while looking back over his shoulder, only to see no-one there. Still standing on the stage, Blake looks at Katie, who again orders him down to the ring. Slowly, he starts to follow TJ.

Knots: “Sorry Ravyn… You’re “Plucked”!” (Laughs Hysterically)

Sharper: “This is NOT a good spot for Taylor. Katie’s obviously out here on Gigi’s behalf… But come on! …Blake Mason and TJ Johnson? …Johnson maybe not be much of a threat, but Mason’s part of that World Title Tournament we have tonight! …Ravyn just got done fighting for her life, she can’t survive this!”

Knots: “That’s the point, Sharpie! …She’s not supposed to!”

As Johnson and Mason get closer to the ring, the jeers from the crowd get even louder, with chants of “Ka-tie Swa-llows” building up loud and clear. Turning to stare at the crowd, Katie’s jaw drops as the chant gets clearer, causing her to scream at the top of her lungs, ordering them to shut up. At ringside, Ravyn backs away from the ropes as Johnson rolls beneath them, and Mason pulls himself up onto the apron.

Dawson: “Where is security? …Why is no-one stopping this?”

Looking back at Katie, Blake watches Johnson as he closes in on Ravyn, cracking his knuckles. Stopping in the middle of the ring, TJ turns back and calls him into the ring, gesturing hard. Blake just stares at him, before shaking his head and dropping back down to the floor, his face expressionless. A few scattered cheers filter through the crowd, but the jeers easily drown them out. Walking up to the ropes, Johnson orders Mason back into the ring, but Blake just waves him off and turns to start back up the ramp.

Knots: “Hey, where’s he going?! …Your Goddess gave you a command, you blasphemous cur!”

Sharper: “I don’t think Mason’s a believer…”

Dawson: “And Katie is fuming!”

Stalking down the ramp, Katie tries to get in Blake’s way, shoving him back a step and pointing down to the ring, ordering him back on the attack. Mason stares at her a minute, before his lip curls into a dismissive smirk, and he simply shoulders past her, almost knocking her over. Laughter picks up beneath the “Ka-tie Swa-llows” chants, as well as the faint cheers for Blake’s desertion. Aghast, Katie just watches him leave, before turning back to see Ravyn creeping up behind TJ with a steel chair in her hands. The crowd roars as Katie tries to warn him, but too late. Ravyn slams the chair into the back of Johnson’s head, almost sending him over the ropes, but instead, he staggers and collapses to the mat. Gripping the chair by its sides, Ravyn drives it into his ribs, and then smashes the flat part down over his head again.

Sharper: “It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person!”

Dawson: “Poor TJ …Almost makes you feel sorry for him, doesn’t it?”

Sharper: “Not a chance in hell.”

Rolling under the bottom rope, Johnson collapses to the floor and struggles to pull himself back up, crying out in agony as he holds both his head as well as his back. Staggering back to the ramp, he meets up with Katie where she is still staring back at the curtain that Mason disappeared through. Turning back to the ring, she just glares at Ravyn, who smiles back, and slowly raises the chair high over her head, causing a few of the fans to giving a loud cheer. Backing up the ramp, Katie points at her, still screaming as she and Johnson retreat back across the stage, and slowly escape through the curtain. “Open Your Eyes” resumes playing, and Ravyn just slips through the ropes, still carrying the chair. Dropping to the floor, she keeps her eyes on the curtains, her glare turning cold and hard as she starts to make her way back up the ramp.

The scene cuts backstage and we see David Miller walking down the hallway as the crowd roars. He then turns and walks over towards the office of Sasha Drachewych. He knocks on the door before faint “Come in” is heard. Miller opens the door and steps inside and Sasha looks up and smiles.

Sasha: “Mr. Miller. What can I do you for?”

Miller: “Well, I’m just about to head to the ring. But I’m wondering, have you thought about the ban on the backdrop driver?”

Sasha just looks down before looking up.

Sasha: “Sorry, David. But with the pressure we’re getting from my father and other groups with regards to concussions, it would just be irresponsible for me to do so. So I’m sorry, the ban still stands.”

Miller just smiles before turning away.

Miller: “I understand....I understand....”

Miller starts to step out before suddenly smacking the wall. Sasha flinches a bit and Miller takes a few steps further before suddenly stopping and Shawn Winters can be seen.

Winters: “Easy there tiger. I know someday you’ll find the girl that wants to be with a passive aggressive bully.”

Miller just glares at Winters before walking off. Winters then turns and look at Sasha and smirks before walking forward.

Winters: “So....seems like you’re having a fun night.”

Sasha just shakes her head sighing.

Sasha: “Yeah...really.”

Winters: “Aww....tell Shawn about it.”

Sasha looks up.

Sasha: “I’m not that stupid.”

Winters: “Hey, I’ve been known to cure the ills of every woman that’s come my way. I’m just that good.”

Sasha rolls her eyes.

CHBK: “Keep it in your pants Shawn.”

Winters turns around and smirks as he sees CHBK.

CHBK: “Good to see you’re back and seemingly sober.”

CHBK coughs, seemingly giving off the vibe that he doesn’t believe it to be the case.

Winters: “I’m hurt.”

CHBK: “Yeah, well, you’re also going to be leaving this office without getting some. You’re not her type.”

Winters: “She can speak for herself, grandpa.”

CHBK just looks at Winters unimpressed. Winters just smirks before turning to Sasha.

Winters: “Just call me if you need to talk.”

Winters then winks and starts to walk off.

CHBK: “Just leave Shawn. You’ve done your favour for returning.”

Winters: “You’d think that.”

Winters smirks before leaving the office and CHBK turns back to Sasha.

CHBK: “Care to explain that one too?”

Sasha: “Look....I’m trying to learn and get any allies I can.”

CHBK: “Yeah....well....”

Sasha: “I know you’re not happy about Gang Rulz, but this is getting to be a bit much.”

CHBK: “I’m trying to fix this place. You’re just giving yourself headaches. The sooner you realize that. The better.”

CHBK then turns and walks out of the office. Sasha Drachewych just then drops down back into her chair, clearly bottling up some anger as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

David Miller vs. Hunter vs. Gable Winchester

The opening strains to “Everywhere I Go” start to echo around the arena as gold lighting starts to pulse around the arena, then begin to pulse to the beat of the introduction. Once the main verse starts, Gable Winchester walks from the back, nodding his head and moving his hands up and down in time to his theme song. The fans don’t know what to make of the man as he struts down the ramp. Once he gets to the barricade he looks out at the fans and shows that he isn’t too egotistical for the fans. Smiling he holds out his hand and allow people to high five him, slowly walking along (on the occasion he may see an attractive lady in the audience and his showmanship ends with a withdrawal of the offered hand when a random fan thinks he is going to get his big chance. In such a case he leans on the barricade and tries to sweet talk the person in question, with mixed results sometimes he is spurned and other times he manages to go as far as getting the woman’s cell number on whatever medium possible at the time) after high fiving some more, he nods his head some more and spins round with his arms spread wide. The crowds are still at odds on whether to cheer before he shrugs at the lack of attention he is getting and goes to slide into the ring.

Once in the ring he climbs the turnbuckle, nodding his head as he holds a hand up in the air, winking and pointing at some of the ladies in the crowd who on the whole scream madly at their being pointed out by him, regardless of whether they like him or not. Once he has postured for the ladies he gets down from the turnbuckle and smiles to himself, brushing his wild dreadlocks from his face as he waits for his opponents.

Dawson: “Gable Winchester is one young gun here in SCW that has just been on a tear. And tonight, he takes on both of his biggest wins in one match.”

Knots: “Plus, he’s tried to hit on one girl earlier. I love this guy!”

The lights of the arena begin to fade, plunging the crowd into ever-deepening shadows, until only the random flash of cameras remain to pierce the pitch blackness. Anxious murmurs and cries of anticipation echo in the dark, as a single black-light shines from the back of the entranceway, silhouetting a single figure standing amidst the swirling cloud of smoke billowing up from beneath the stage. Just as the crowd comes to its feet in recognition, the hard opening chords to Chris Cornell’s “You Know My Name” thunder through the speakers. Lifting his head, the man in the shadows slowly walks through the tunnel, stopping just short of the stage itself.

If you take a life, do you know what you’ll give?
Odds are you won’t like what it is
And when the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes I’ve deceived

I’ve seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you, yourself, are nothing so divine
You’re just next in line!

Charging out onto the stage, Miller bursts through the curtains just as Cornell’s voice trails off into a savage crescendo, bringing the lights back in full force as blinding strobes and spotters of both gold- and black-colored light, the beams sweeping along the faces of the chaotic fans, who, even blinded by the lights, respond with an instant uproar, knowing full well who has appeared before them. Bouncing lightly from one foot to the other, Miller rolls his head a few time, cracks his neck to either side, and shakes out his shoulders before stalking across the ring and starting down the ramp with a brisk, purposed stride. As he passes between the guardrails, Miller moves from one side to the other, slapping hands and tapping every fist held out to him.

If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to the light
And if you think you’ve won, you never saw me change
The game that we have been playing

I’ve seen this diamond cut through harder men
Than you, yourself, but if you must pretend
You may meet your end!

Arm yourself, because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you, and I will erase you
You can’t deny the prize that will never fulfill you
It longs to kill you, are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You Know My Name!

Hitting the bottom of the ramp, Miller breaks into a dead sprint and dives between the lower ropes, tucking into a perfect roll that carries him right back up to his feet again. Throwing his arms out to his sides, Miller roars at the now screaming crowd, who answer back without hesitation. Moving to the nearest corner, he climbs onto the second rope and pumps his right fist into the air, before pounding it against his chest. Kissing the fist, he sweeps a finger across the crowd before dropping out of the corner and moving across the ring to the opposite post, again thrusting is hand into the air and following it up with the kiss and sweep of his finger. As the music begins to fade out, Miller drops back down to the mat again and throws a few combinations to loosen himself up as he paces the ropes, anxiously waiting for the fun to start.

Dawson: “David Miller who returned at Body, Heart and Soul forgot about the ban on his backdrop driver and it’s going to be upheld. How will that alter his game plan here tonight.”

Knots: “Well I don’t know. I don’t care. I just want to see him drop down a few more pegs from Gable Winchester or Hunter.”

Sharper: “And in some ways, all three components of that open challenge match at Body, Heart and Soul that saw Hunter back out, Gable replace him and Miller was the respondent...they’re all coming together in this match here on Breakdown.”

“Instruments of Destruction” starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd starts to boo as the cameras focus on the entrance way. The spotlights focus on the entrance way and the boos continue as the music plays for a few moments. Suddenly, the cameras cut back to the ring as Hunter enters the ring from behind and chopblocks Miller’s leg. He then gets up and runs at Gable as his music abruptly stops. The crowd roars and Hunter nails Gable with a hard throat thrust knocking him back. He then grabs Gable and knees him in the ribs before gutwrenching him over with a gutwrench suplex. He then rolls over and Miller starts to get up and Hunter runs over and kicks him in the head, knocking him down into the ropes. Hunter then places his boot across the throat of Miller and pushes down. The crowd boos as Miller goes through the ropes and is pushed onto the apron. Hunter then steps up and turns around and walks over to Gable as he gets up and kicks him in the ribs before spiking him with a DDT.

Sharper: “Hunter from behind and look at him go.”

Knots: “He’s got purpose tonight. No more humiliation for him.”

Sharper: “He’s going after both men at the same time and neither figured he’d come from the crowd.”

Hunter rolls over and mounts Gable and starts to hammer away at him with repeated hard rights. He then gets up and walks around before dropping his leg across the throat of Gable. He goes for the pin.

Gable kicks out. Hunter then gets up and nails Gable with a stomp to the face before seeing Miller getting back into the ring. Hunter walks over and grabs Miller and Miller suddenly breaks his clinch and knees him in the ribs before grabbing Hunter and just throwing him up and over with a release head and arm suplex. The crowd roars as Hunter rolls over in pain and pops back up. He then turns back to Miller and Miller grabs him again and throws him over with a T-Bone suplex. The crowd roars again and Miller gets up and turns around only for Gable to grab him and pull him down with a small package.

Miller kicks out. Both men get up and Gable quickly kicks Miller in the thigh. Miller winces and Gable then grabs him and hits a European uppercut, knocking him back.

Sharper: “And Gable is coming back and going after Miller with strikes.”

Dawson: “We mentioned this at Body, Heart and Soul, but that’s a questionable tactic to say the least.”

Gable then grabs Miller and goes to whip him into the ropes, but Miller ducks under before grabbing Gable and pulling him into a guillotine choke and immediately dropping down to the mat. Gable flails around, trying to do anything to get free and Hunter then runs over and kicks Miller in the side of the head. Miller lets go and Gable rolls off. The crowd ohs and Hunter leans on the ropes and winces. Miller rolls over and stirs and Gable quickly grabs him and goes to take him down with a Russian leg sweep, but Hunter then turns and jumps up and dropkicks both of them back. The crowd ohs and Gable rolls over in pain as Miller winces. Gable gets back up and Hunter grabs him and drops him with a backbreaker. He then goes for the pin.

Gable kicks out. Hunter rolls off and starts to get up. He winces and walks around as Miller starts to stir. Miller gets up and Hunter grabs him from behind. He then attempts a German suplex, but Miller grabs onto the ropes. Hunter then clubs him repeatedly in the back before grabbing him and just throwing him face first into the top turnbuckle. He then turns and climbs up to the middle rope and just starts to hammer away at him on the back of the head. Hunter then looks up and smirks. Gable however sneaks up behind him and grabs Hunter and just throws him down with a powerbomb. He then walks around as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Oh my, what a powerbomb!”

Dawson: “Just planted Hunter and Gable may have just taken Hunter out for a bit more.”

Knots: “Well turn and focus on Miller. Screw Hunter!”

Gable turns and sees Miller still in the corner. He’s just starting to pull himself out and Gable then runs over and jumps over Hunter and hits a dropkick to Miller in the back. Miller falls forward and Gable then turns and grabs Miller and throws him back with a German suplex into a bridge.

Miller gets his shoulder up. Miller then rolls over and slowly starts to stir. Gable gets up and turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and jumps up, attempting a flying forearm, but Miller ducks. Gable hits hard and rolls through and to the apron. Gable pulls himself up and Miller then turns and throws a spin kick to the head and Gable just falls down onto the apron. The crowd cheers and Miller then turns and focus back on Hunter as he stirs.

Dawson: “God! I never get used to the sound of that kick!”

Knots: “I guarantee no one gets used to taking it. That should be banned too!”

Sharper: “In any case, Gable is down and hurt. This could be bad for Hunter as Miller is focusing on him now!”

Hunter starts to stir and Miller smirks as he then grabs Hunter and locks him in a half nelson and throws him back with a half nelson suplex. The crowd cheers. Miller then turns and starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd roars as Miller manages to get up. Gable then suddenly gets up and jumps up and kicks Miller in the chest, knocking him back into the ring. Gable then slowly enters and goes for the pin.

Hunter breaks it up. He then turns and starts to get up as Gable stirs. Hunter then kicks Gable in the ribs before grabbing him and throwing him into the ropes. Gable bounces off the ropes and Hunter hoists him up and hits a spinebuster. He then turns and goes for the pin, but Miller turns and nails him with a hard right. Hunter rolls over. He gets up and Miller attempts a spin kick, but Hunter ducks. Gable then suddenly kicks him in the ribs from the crowd. He slowly gets up and grabs Hunter before hooking his leg and throwing him up and Miller turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and jumps up and Gable hits the Runnin’ Wild, as Miller grabs Hunter and takes him down with a STO at the same time. Gable stays down into a seated out pin as Miller goes for the pin as well.

1! 1!

2! 2!

3! 3!

The crowd roars as Gable falls back and Miller rolls off. They both then turn and the referee suddenly looks at both before turning and pointing at both and grabbing their arms and lifting them up. Miller and Gable turn and look at each other. Miller smirks as Gable just rips his arm away and throws his arms up in the air.

Dawson: “So both won?”

Sharper: “Referee’s discretion. He counted Hunter down for both individuals. Technically this is a draw. Miller and Gable Winchester both win.”

Knots: “And I don’t think either is too happy. And I can guarantee Hunter isn’t happy!”

Gable and Miller turn to each other and continue to just watch the other as they start to slowly both get up. The crowd starts to boo a bit as Gable just turns and drops down to the mat and exits the ring. Miller just stands in the ring smirking.

The scene opens backstage to see Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area with Ashley Cherry who still has the original SCW Women’s Championship over her shoulder.

Jessica: “I am being joined by Ashley Cherry and we’ve seen you in recent weeks, attacking various wrestlers and obviously, holding the original Women’s Championship. What are you looking to do back here in SCW?”

Cherry: “First off, obviously, I’m holding the Women’s Championship. Why? I am the Women’s Champion. I never lost it. And that’s why I’m here. Because I’m sick of these princess and emo kids holding my belt. And the problem is that people don’t realize that it’s my belt. And so, I’m here to make sure people know it.”

Ashley turns to Jessica.

Cherry: “People keep claiming this division is theirs. People keep claiming they’re going to save it. The funny part...since I left, the division has been a sham. It’s been held up by an interim champion. I don’t care what people say. I never lost my title and I’m still the Women’s Champion. So if anyone has a problem, they can come and take it up with me. Better yet....let me take it up with our so-called champion. I will then make it clear that she’s just second in line. I’ve always been the Queen.”

Ashley Cherry then turns and walks off as the crowd gives a mixed reaction. Jessica just turns back to the camera.

Jessica: “Our real Women’s Champion? Something tells me that CHBK or Sasha Drachewych may need to deal with this one. Breakdown returns after this.”

Jessica just turns and continues to watch Ashley Cherry leave before turning to the camera as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up in a doctor’s office to see Rick Rohl and Hurse sitting on a couch, at opposite ends. Hurse can be seen looking around, tapping his knee as Rick Rohl can be seen looking entirely bored as he leans on the armrest. Just then, the sound of walking can be heard as we see Marisa Condolesa appear and walk over towards the couch and then drop down unceremoniously and sit between the two.

Rohl: “Thank God you’re here.”

Marisa: “I don’t want to be.”

Rohl: “Well because this moron wouldn’t trust me.”

Hurse: “Hey! No need for name calling.”

Hurse turns and reaches over Marisa and tries to grab him, but Rohl pushes away and Marisa then nails Hurse with a smack to the ribs. Hurse turns and winces.

Hurse: “Owww!”

Marisa: “You deserved it.”

Hurse: “See! This is why I thought we needed couples counselling.”

Rohl: “There’s three of us and you’re the one that screwed it up!”

Hurse: “Hey! You’re the one that got Scary McScarystein to attack me.”

Rohl: “You just called Damian Angel Scary McScarystein?”

Hurse: “It’s short notice!”

Rohl: “Unbelievable!”

Marisa: “I had to take Breakdown off for this crap.”

Marisa just shakes her head.

Hurse: “Well the doctor will be here shortly and we’ll be able to get through our problems.”

Marisa: “Yeah. Well-“

Rohl: “No. We’ve been here for an hour already and the guy hasn’t shown.”

Marisa: “Probably found him in a dark alleyway somewhere.”

Hurse: “No....it was daytime. I could see quite well!”

Rohl: “Oh God....”

Marisa: “Ewww....”

Rohl: “Come on.”

Rohl gets up and helps Marisa up before the sound of a door can be heard opening. A voice then is heard.

Doctor: “Sorry to keep you waiting. I had a patient that was having a particularly rough day and needed immediate attention. For that, I’ll halve the cost of this session. Now, if you don’t mind, allow us to start-“

Suddenly, the feed ends before the scene reopens at ringside to see Jason Wheeler with the IWC World Championship over his shoulder walking out from the back. The crowd roars upon seeing him. The video starts to play again, before it cuts away again, focusing on Wheeler as he continues on his way to the ring.

Sharper: “Well we were watching Hurse and Rick Rohl going to couple’s counselling.”

Knots: “Nevermind that there were three of them there.”

Sharper: “Well yes, but Jason Wheeler is on his way down to the ring and as you can see, he’s gained the IWC World Championship and he’s proudly wearing it over his shoulder.”

Dawson: “But did he need to interrupt this. What’s going on?”

Wheeler walks over to the ring before walking up it and then entering into the ring. He then walks towards Jason Phillips before taking the microphone away from him. He then turns and turns around.

Wheeler: “The man known as Jason Wheeler is dead and buried and before you stands the new IWC World Champion, Jason Zero!”

The crowd cheers a bit as the cheers slowly turn into a response of uncertainty.

Zero: “And now, I stand here in an SCW ring and since it seems to be the cool thing to do, I’m going to try and do something that my brother failed miserably at. I want an SCW World Championship shot. And the fact of the matter is that I’m going to make it clear right now, that this is the first time I have decided to high-jack this show. With Josh Hudson wanting to focus on CHBK, fine. With Greg Cherry losing....with the fact that I have ran through everything in my way since I returned, I think it’s clear for me to suggest that I deserve a shot.”

Zero smirks as he looks around. The crowd starts to cheer a bit, before starting to boo a bit as well.

Zero: “And given that I have one title, I’d love to have the opportunity to win the second title as well. So....I’m going to ask even nicer than Greg did earlier tonight....and I’d love to have that opportunity to be a true double World Champion.”

Zero smiles as he looks around. The crowd continues to buzz, roaring as Zero starts to walk around the ring. Suddenly, the camera turns to the entrance way to see security starting to make their way down to the ring. Zero smirks as he turns and throws his arms up.

Zero: “Oh....so apparently free speech is starting to go down the tubes around here.”

Zero smirks as he tosses the microphone over his shoulder, causing it to thud on the canvas. He then turns and motions to security to come take him away. Security continues on their way to the ring.

Knots: “What the hell is going on?”

Sharper: “It seems like security is coming to take Jason Wheeler...now Jason Zero away?”

Just then, we see CHBK jog out from the back and with him is Sasha Drachewych. They both start to walk down to the ring as Sasha Drachewych looks completely confused. CHBK then runs over and walks over to some of the guards and start to talk to them. The cameraman moves over and starts to try and pick up what they are saying. In all of the insanity, all that can be picked up is a faint line from CHBK.

CHBK: “What are you guys doing out here? We didn’t send you.”

The security guards stop and start to look around. Zero stands in the ring and walks over to the ropes before looking over in complete uncertainty. Sasha Drachewych moves forward and joins CHBK in trying to sort out the situation.

Dawson: “I have no clue what is going on.”

Sharper: “I don’t think CHBK or our owner do either.”

Knots: “And they’re in control? Ha!”

Sharper: “Well we’ll try to get to the bottom of this, but we’ll be back in a bit. SCW Adrenaline Championship and the last match of the quarterfinals of our contendership tournament still to come. Don’t go anywhere.”

CHBK and Sasha continue to discuss things with security as the crowd starts to boo. Zero just shakes his head and walks around the ring in disbelief as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Sasha Drachewych and CHBK in the tunnel just before the curtains and Jason Zero is a few paces behind them.

CHBK: “Look. You deal with the security. Maybe they know something they’re not telling us.”

Sasha: “Yeah. I’ll see what I can do. This is getting to be annoying all of these headaches.”

CHBK: “Get used to it. It’s called being owner.”

Sasha: “Yeah...yeah...”

Sasha turns and walks off after presumably security. Zero takes a few steps and CHBK then turns and stops him.

CHBK: “Okay. Want to tell me what that’s about.”

Zero: “I haven’t a damn clue.”

CHBK: “Why don’t I believe you?”

Zero: “Look I just wanted an SCW Championship shot.”

CHBK: “That’s all?”

Zero: “Isn’t it what everyone wants.”

CHBK: “Yeah, but I know you have a plan.”

Zero: “I never said I didn’t have one.”

CHBK: “You don’t just go out there and demand a title shot on the up and up. So I’m going to ask you again...did you have anything to do with that?”

Zero: “Why would I get myself arrested?”

CHBK just scoffs.

Zero: “So...about my title shot?”

CHBK: “Stop pushing your luck. Talk to me about it later.”

Zero: “No problemo, capitane. By the way, no congratulations?”

CHBK: “Yeah...sure.”

CHBK turns and walks off as Zero smirks. He smiles more and more as the camera focuses on him for a few moments longer and we go back to ringside.

Sharper: “An interesting situation there. CHBK seemingly being less trusting of certain individuals of SCW tonight.”

Knots: “Well all of them have a reason to want to take advantage of a situation.”

Sharper: “In any case, we’re about to see the last of our quarterfinal matches here tonight and we already know that Rachel Foxx, Aaron Rupp and Thorn will be moving on. Who will join them?”

Dawson: “Will Donovan Kayl make it two in a row over Justin Davis, or will Davis be able to do what he needs to win?”

Donovan Kayl vs. Justin Davis

SCW World Championship Contendership Tournament – Quarterfinals

Pyrotechnics shoot out of the top of the ramp as "Awake and Alive" by Skillet begins to play. Justin Davis then comes walking out to a mix reaction of a crowd, wearing his entrance gear; zippered up vest with running pants that reads Davis on both legs. He stands at the top of the ramp looking around the arena, smirks and nods his head. He then finally walks down the ramp, not slapping hands with any fans. Once Davis makes it to the ring he points up to the sky then slides in the ring. And, once he gets in the ring he goes to a random turnbuckle and stands on the second rope, taunting all the fans, then points up to the sky and drops down. Davis now waits in the middle of the ring, stretching, and awaiting for his opponent to come out.

Dawson: “Well I think we’re all still shocked by the actions of Justin Davis, but regardless, he gets a quick opportunity to gain a win over Donovan Kayl.”

Knots: “Yeah and I like that Davis is finally showing his true side. He’ll do anything to win. Only can mean bigger and better things for him.”

"THIS... IS... KAYL TV!"

The opening chords of the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme play over the crowd, bringing the raucous SCW crowd to their feet in a unified chorus of cheers. After the opening chords and drum beats, the opening guitar riff to "The Sound of Madness" by Shinedown plays. Donovan Kayl steps out on top of the ramp, with the lovely Skylar Desoubrais by his side.

"Yeah, I get it,
You're an outcast.
Always under attack.
Always coming in last,
Bringing up the past.
No one owes you anything.
I think you need a shotgun blast,
A kick in the ass,
So paranoid. . .
Watch your back!!"

Kayl and Skylar begin to walk down to the ring. As they walk, Kayl reaches out to slap the fans' hands along the way. He grabs a camera from a fan along the railing and, handing it to Skylar, has her take a picture of him and that fan for the fan.

"Another lose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell.
You think that the cryin to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine."

Once at the bottom of the ramp, Kayl slides under the bottom rope after a short running start. He pulls himself up and moves over to the corner, jumping onto the second rope without using the top to balance himself.

"I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here to explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?"

Kayl jumps off the ropes. By this time, Skylar is already standing in the centre of the ring, where Kayl joins her. He wraps his arm around her waist, smiling to the people around, before a quick kiss. Kayl then runs back and forth, bouncing off the ropes, as he prepares for the match.

Sharper: “Well Donovan Kayl looking to get as close to the SCW World Championship as ever and he may do that tonight, if he defeats Justin Davis.”

Dawson: “He’ll get to the semifinals with a win, but Justin Davis will be looking to aim for a second round with the SCW Champion after he got his taste at the End of the Year Special.”

The bell sounds and Kayl turns around to Davis and Davis smirks as he yells across.

Davis: “How’s your head!”

Kayl just smirks before starting to move forward and Davis turns and reaches over towards him before the two grapple in the middle of the ring. Kayl quickly turns and goes into a side headlock. He then pulls back before spinning around and grabbing the arm before locking in a hammerlock. He pulls up before cuffing him in the back of the head before then turning and going to spin him around, but Davis spins around and Kayl loses his leverage as Davis lifts Kayl up and back drops him. Kayl rolls over and gets back up and Davis kicks him in the ribs. He then nails him with a European uppercut and Kayl stumbles back to the ropes. He bounces off them and Davis moves forward and pokes him in the eye. Kayl turns, rubbing his eyes in pain as Davis smirks. He then grabs Kayl and rakes his eyes again.

Sharper: “Davis seemingly trying to blind Kayl here and Kayl, twice, getting his eyes attacked.”

Knots: “That new attitude finally no longer being kept inside. He’s showing it again against Kayl. I love it.”

Davis grabs Kayl and whips him across the ring. Kayl bounces off the ropes and Davis runs towards him and knocks him down with a back elbow. Kayl pops back up and turns back to Davis and Davis lifts up Kayl and hits an inverted atomic drop. The crowd boos and Davis then hits a double leg trip before flipping forward into a jackknife pin.

Kayl bridges up and the crowd roars as Kayl then spins around and all the way into a backslide. Davis, however, manages to get his arm free. Both men spin towards each other and Davis attempts a hard right, but Kayl blocks it and then kicks him in the ribs. Kayl then grabs Davis and spikes him with a DDT. The crowd cheers and Kayl rolls over and starts to get up.

Sharper: “DDT. Snapped off in the middle of the ring and Kayl starting to turn this around back into his favour.”

Knots: “Yeah. But Davis isn’t dead yet.”

Dawson: “That’s not the issue. He’s got an opening and with Kayl, that’s always dangerous.”

Davis rolls over and starts to faintly reach over towards the ropes. Kayl smirks as he rolls over and looks at Davis. Davis starts to get up and Kayl then grabs Davis and throws him back with a back suplex. Davis rolls over and slowly starts to stir and Kayl grabs him and pulls him down with a inverted front face lock into a backbreaker. Davis winces and Kayl lifts him back before pushing him away. Kayl then jumps up and dropkicks Davis in the back of the head. Davis falls forward. He then starts to get up and Kayl turns and flips over him and into an Oklahoma Roll.

Davis kicks out. Kayl rolls over and starts to get up. He then turns and gets up and grabs Davis only for Davis to suddenly reaches up and thumb Kayl in the eye. Kayl turns around and walks around only for Davis to turn and drill him in the face with a Yakuza kick. The crowd ohs and Kayl rolls over, holding his jaw in pain.

Sharper: “Oh damn! He just got his head taken off.”

Dawson: “And another blow to the head. We know of the recent issues for Kayl, but Davis lined that one up and just teed off.”

Kayl rolls over and slowly starts to get up and Davis smirks before grabbing him and kneeing him in the ribs. He then hooks his head before lifting him up and throwing him back with a vertical suplex. Kayl rolls over and starts to stir some more and Davis kicks him in the ribs. He then places his head between his legs and smirks. The crowd roars and Davis then looks around for a moment longer before hoisting Kayl up, but Kayl flips through and then counters with a sunset flip.

Davis kicks out. Both men roll over and Davis drills Kayl with a hard clothesline. The crowd ohs and Davis turns and goes for the pin.

Kayl gets his shoulder up. He then starts to stir as Davis pulls himself up and walks around. He then looks at Kayl and starts to motion at him to get up. Kayl gets to his feet and slowly turns around and Davis lunges and attempts a superkick, but Kayl drops down and drop toe holds Davis before rolling through and locking in an STF. The crowd cheers as Davis yells in pain. Kayl starts to pull up as Davis frantically starts to reach for the ropes.

Sharper: “STF! Kayl countered the superkick and may have just sealed his spot in the semi-finals.”

Knots: “Get to the ropes Davis! Get to the ropes! Fight like you’ve never fought before!”

Davis continues to reach over and Kayl continues to try and pull back. Davis manages to drag the two of them a bit closer and then a bit closer before reaching over and grabbing the bottom rope. The crowd sighs as Kayl lets go and rolls off. He then starts to get up and Davis slowly starts to pull himself up as he winces. Kayl walks around the ring and then turns back to Davis and Kayl turns and runs at him and Davis suddenly then moves forward and takes Kayl down with a snap STO. The crowd ohs and Kayl rolls over, holding the back of his head in pain. He then rolls over and slowly starts to pull himself up. Davis smirks as he rolls over and then grabs Kayl and kicks him in the ribs before hoisting him up and in one fluid motion, dropping him down with the Lip Sealer. The crowd ohs and Davis rolls Kayl over and goes for the pin, driving his elbow down into the jaw of Kayl for added pressure.

The crowd gives a mixed reaction and Davis gets up and looks up and smiles. The referee walks over and grabs his arm and lifts it over his head. He smirks as he starts to get up. Skylar just shakes her head.

Dawson: “And there you have it. Justin Davis will be the fourth member of the semi-finals. Davis, Thorn, Foxx and Rupp. One of those four will have a World Championship shot at Retribution.”

Knots: “And Davis did it by just being ruthless. I love it.”

Sharper: “And we’ll see who will move on for the shot on the next Breakdown when the semi-finals and the finals will be both hosted on that show.”

Davis smirks as he walks around and has his arm raised. He turns and looks down at Kayl and smiles some more. Kayl rolls over, holding his jaw in pain. Davis continues to enjoy his victory as we then cut to a still shot of Greg Cherry vs. Masquerade with the SCW Adrenaline Championship underneath. “Rescue Me” starts to play in the background.

Sharper: “We know who’s getting a huge opportunity next Breakdown, but tonight, can Masquerade take advantage of his latest opportunity and walk away the Adrenaline Champion? We’ll find out as Greg Cherry is forced to defend his Adrenaline Championship until he loses it. This will happen and this will be next!”

The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Masquerade vs. Greg Cherry

SCW Adrenaline Championship

The guitar rifts bring the fans to their feet. The titantron showcases the man known as Masquerade. The camera does 360 around him while he looks up with his arms out slightly, palms turned out. his hands holding several different masks. The name he bears goes around him in the back ground, and suddenly there is a flash followed by clips of Masquerade beating people up in the ring and him laughing and in gothic background while he tries on different masks, still laughing out loud. These shots get faster as the music picks up. When the vocals start it goes back to utter black out and then the name ‘Masquerade’ flashes like a pulse.

We got the fire
Whose got the matches?
Take a look around at the sea of masks.
Come one Come all
Welcome to the grand ball
Where the strong run for cover and the weak stand tall.

The big screen shows more model like slow motion shots of the good looking yet deranged stranger. From the ramp, a pedestal opens and rising slowly as if in slow motion, with the wind blowing in his face, is Masquerade, with Shilo Valiant, Claire Voyant and Marina Trent all walking out behind him. Behind him we see the fireworks go off showing an actual arrangement pattern in the shape of a mask. The fans, meanwhile, hold up their own masks. Masquerade holds his head down slightly while the wind blows. His vest is undone so the camera picks up his build quite easily. As he poses for the camera, he waits till he hears...

Welcome to the Masquerade

Then he walks down the ramp, waiting a second before running and sliding into the ring. He lies on his back and puts his hands up and shoots the ceiling with finger pistols upward as the vocals go 'I'm not afraid... I'm ashamed... I'm not ok... Welcome to the Masquerade!' The other three members of Karnivale walk around the ring.

Masquerade kips up and slowly takes off his trenchcoat, tossing it into the ring, and lets his vest fall a bit so he can show off. He then does it up and goes to rest on the turnbuckle, his legs up. While he waits for his opponent to enter the ring, he takes a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, and proceeds to take a few hits.

Welcome to the Masquerade...

The music cuts and the fans roar!

Sharper: “Karnivale is out here en masse. Masquerade with a huge opportunity here tonight. He gets a shot at the SCW Adrenaline Championship.”

Knots: “Yeah. And he’s got to face a REALLY pissed off Greg Cherry.”

The opening guitar riffs are heard leading into "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin. The crowd starts to boo as the opening line is heard.

"I will not bow
I will not break
I will shove the world away
I will not fall
I will not faint
I will take your breath away"

Greg Cherry walks down the aisle and looks out into the audience and stares out into the crowd. Behind him, Mr. Drachewych, Stacy Kissinger, Drew Weilacher and Matt Bishop all follow. Greg looks towards both sides and then bends down and raises both his arms up in the air. His right hand has all his fingers tight together and extended while his left hand has all fingers spread and extended except his ring finger. He then begins walking down to the ring, ignoring the boos and from time to time, glancing to each side.

He enters the ring and brings both his hands to his head as if he's saluting then flings his arms out to his sides then brings them back with the "Penn Sen" hand gesture. He turns around and does this to the other side of the ring before turning back around, raising his right hand with all fingers except his ring finger extended. Infection starts to circle the ring.

Greg walks over to the turnbuckle to the left and raises up both hands with all fingers extended except the ring finger. He points to the crowd and points back to himself while shouting out to the crowd as they boo him. He does this to all four sides, getting the crowd riled up in a frenzy as he steps back and readies himself for the match at hand. He then drops down and Masquerade blasts him with a hard right. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “Hey! What the hell was that?”

Sharper: “Masquerade’s going to jump start this match with a hard right hand. He wants to be champion!”

Drachewych snaps at the referee as Greg gets back up and Masquerade nails him with a hard right and then another and another. He then fires Greg into the ropes. He however then grabs onto the top rope and goes to slide under the ropes to the floor, but Shilo, Marina and Claire are all standing there. He yells out in frustration before turning around and Masquerade kicks him in the ribs before throwing him over with a snap suplex. Greg rolls over and gets back up and Masquerade turns and dropkicks him in the face, knocking him down. Greg rolls over and gets back up and turns back to Masquerade and Masquerade jumps up and takes Greg down with a hurricanrana. He then goes for the pin.

Greg kicks out. Both men get up and Masquerade clotheslines Greg down. Masquerade then turns and exits to the apron before starting to climb up to the top rope as the crowd continues to cheer.

Sharper: “This is going to go from bad to worse for Greg Cherry. Masquerade on the top rope.”

Dawson: “And he’s going to go high-risk!”

Infection yells at Greg to move as Masquerade then dives off and hits a guillotine leg drop on Greg. The crowd erupts in cheers and Masquerade rolls over and hooks the leg.

Greg kicks out. Masquerade looks up as the crowd ohs. Greg rolls over and starts to get up as Masquerade gets up and walks around. Greg gets up and Masquerade kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and fires Greg into the corner. Masquerade turns and runs after him and Greg gets his boot up. Masquerade staggers back and Greg then runs out of the corner and hits a running bulldog. Greg then rolls over and looks up on his knees as the crowd boos.

Knots: “Yes! Greg takes him down. He’s back in control. He’s now in control!”

Sharper: “Yeah. And one has to wonder what is going through the heads of everyone at ringside. We have not had a response to the Tag Team Championship challenge by Karnivale to Infection.”

Greg pulls himself up and Masquerade starts to stir and Greg walks over and drives his fingers into the eyes of Masquerade before ripping them away. Masquerade turns and staggers away. Greg then smirks before walking over and jumping up, dropkicking Masquerade in the back of the head, knocking him forward and into the ropes. Greg then walks over and jumps onto the back of Masquerade and starts to stand on his back, choking him. The referee starts to call for the break.

Greg just stays on, smiling. Shilo then runs over and jumps up, and goes to nail Greg, but Greg jumps back in instinct. He then turns and looks at the referee and snaps at him. The referee snaps back about the break. Greg just shakes his head and walks back over to Masquerade as he starts to get up and Masquerade nails him with a back elbow. Greg staggers back and Masquerade turns and hits a spinning heel kick. He then goes for the pin.

Greg kicks out. Masquerade looks up and just smacks the canvas. He starts to get up. He then turns and goes to grabs Greg, but Greg turns and low blows him right in front of the referee. The referee just shakes his head and snaps at Greg. Greg gets up and actually yells back at the referee.

Sharper: “I think Greg is trying to intentionally get himself disqualified!”

Knots: “Brilliant! And he would be disqualified if this referee was doing his job!”

Dawson: “But I think he sees what Greg is doing.”

Greg turns around and Masquerade winces before Greg lifts up the legs of Masquerade. He then turns to the referee before stomping Masquerade right in the groin. He turns back to the referee before smiling and stomping him again. He then turns back and the referee shakes his head only for Greg to place his foot down and start to push down. Masquerade yells in pain and Greg looks back at the referee. The referee just shakes his head and Greg turns around and snaps at him. He throws his arms in the air as Masquerade rolls over, clearly in pain. Greg turns away and starts to pace before kicking the bottom rope. Drachewych snaps at the referee telling him to call for the bell. Greg then turns and walks over to Masquerade and rolls him over and goes to place his foot in his groin again, but Masquerade pushes him away. Greg falls back. Masquerade then rolls over and gets up and Greg turns around and goes back to Masquerade and Masquerade lifts him up and drops him with a hot shot on the top rope. Greg turns back and Masquerade jumps up and pushes himself over Greg and into a leg drop DDT from behind. The crowd cheers and Masquerade rolls over.

Sharper: “What a move. Masquerade fighting back after Greg was practically torturing him just to get disqualified!”

Dawson: “Yeah and Masquerade needs to figure something out. He’s got to put Greg away. Greg doesn’t want to take this match to a pinfall.”

Masquerade starts to pull himself up. He then turns and looks back at Greg and then turns to Infection and grabs Greg. He lifts him up and kicks him in the ribs before then suddenly turning and running into the ropes and diving through the middle and bottom rope and hitting Stacy Kissinger with a dropkick, knocking her back. The crowd ohs and then cheers erupt. Shilo and Marina just smile and Masquerade gets up and smirks before turning around and grabbing Greg. He then spins him around before setting him up for the Skeleton Key, but Greg rolls through. He then pushes Masquerade forward and toward the corner. Greg then and grabs the referee and nails him with a hard right, knocking him down. He then turns and looks back to Masquerade and Masquerade clotheslines him down. The referee ends up by the ropes and he starts to get up and finally, he just shakes his head before calling for the bell. The crowd erupts in boos as the referee falls over and Masquerade turns around and looks at the referee is complete confusion.

Knots: “Yes!”

Sharper: “It was too much. The referee could only let so much slide. He had to finally disqualify him. God damn it.”

Masquerade walks over to the referee and we see Greg Cherry rolls out of the ring. He then staggers back up the rampway as Stacy starts to walk over, holding her jaw, Drew and Matt Bishop join him. Drachewych meanwhile walks over to the announce table and just speaks to the three of them.

Drachewych: “Tell the people at home. They want to see that huge Tag Title match...we’re going to make a few demands next Breakdown. Karnivale wants us more than we want the Tag Titles. We know that. We’re going to make sure this match reflects that! And by the looks of it...they aren’t too bright.”

Drachewych turns and walks off as the crowd starts to boo loudly. Masquerade walks around the ring in disbelief as Shilo Valiant, Marina and Claire all enter the ring.

Sharper: “Well you just heard that. Is that an acceptance?”

Knots: “With conditions.”

Sharper: “But still...more than we know. But either way, Masquerade has just been screwed by Greg Cherry.”

Knots: “But he defended his title. CHBK didn’t say he had to wrestle every match. He defended the title. He’s going to get his rematch.”

Dawson: “Yeah, well, next Breakdown, there may be some hell to pay for this. That’s for sure.”

Infection starts to make their way up to the back as the crowd continues to boo. Karnivale just stands in the ring in disbelief as the scene slowly fades to black...
