“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

A shot of Syren holding the SCW Women’s Championship, followed by a shot of CHBK hitting a Bittersweet Ending on one individual, before turning a shot of Jason Zero hitting a spear on Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness a few years ago, before turning into a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on James Exeter.

 

“The leading force in sports and entertainment today....”

 

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene 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 Brittany Lohan locking in the From California with Love 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 pulling on a barbed wire wrapped bat stuck on Dillusion’s hair and then ripping away as Dillusion smiles 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 Dillusion hitting Anthony Wallace with a hard right hand before freezing and flying at the screen. A shot of Jason Zero dropping Sasha Drachewych with the Chaos Theory is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of David Helms holding the SCW World Championship over his head, before switching to a shot of Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger 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 Lucas Knight hitting someone with the UKOD, and followed by a shot of Shawn Winters hitting the Graven Image on Greg Cherry are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of the former SCW Tag Team Champions, Karnivale, 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 Anthony Wallace, Mike Harrison, Thorn & David Helms, Lucas Knight, Karnivale, Ducky, Warren James, James Evans & Katelyn Buehler, Infamous 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 EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah 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 before we sweep down to ringside.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Salt Lake City as we expect to find out all of the fallout from Retribution here tonight. Hello again, I’m Adam Sharper, alongside Jim Dawson and Donovan Kayl and tonight, we have several huge matches including a big tag team main event.”

 

We go to ringside to see the SCW Announcers at the SCW announce table.

 

Dawson: “That we do. We are going to see Marina Trent and Shilo Valiant go against Dark Fantasy here tonight. Midnight Boulevard is the name of the duo from Karnivale and the Karnivale/Dark Fantasy rivalry will be rekindled tonight.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, but we also got some other big matches. Jason Zero is going to be in action. He’s going to face someone he’s got a hell of a history with in Dillusion. We’ve got a lot of questions for Jason Zero though to say the least.”

 

Sharper: “And along with that, we know Thorn is here. The SCW World Champion is here. Christy Matthews is as well and there have been a number of reports going around the internet with regards to Miss Matthews and she will be responding to them later tonight.”

 

Kayl: “A big night for a lot of different reasons to say the least as Retribution was a huge show and we will be letting you know what happen on that night throughout Breakdown here tonight.”

WHEN DID YOU LAST MAKE A CHOICE THAT HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE?

The words flash up on the screen as the arena lights cut out completely, plunging the room into complete darkness. The sounds of a thunder storm echo around the arena as the crowd view the large screens either side of the entrance way.

WHAT IF THAT CHOICE ISOLATED YOU FROM EVERYONE THAT YOU HELD DEAR, WOULD YOU BUCKLE UNDER THE PRESSURE?

The room is electric as the sound of thunder continues to roll through the arena, whipping the crowd into a wild frenzy.

WOULD YOU DO THE RIGHT THING OR WOULD YOU TOW THE LINE LIKE THE REST OF THE CROWD?

As the thunder storm rolls to a crescendo the entire stage lights up with brilliant bright light in time with the final crack of lightning. The opening riff from a remixed version of “All I Want” by A Day To Remember hits the pa system as the crowd realise that David Helms is now stood on the stage; only his silhouette viewable as a result of the blinding white light shining from behind him. As the intro draws to a close, Helms throws his arms into the air, his hands held together in the Self High Five.

“ALL I WANT IS A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
TO MEND THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO FEELS ALONE
WOAH; YOU KNOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH
BUT YOU HEAD DOWN LOW!”

The intro gives way to the chorus of the song, the lyrics of which flash up on the screen, as Helms jumps in the air, breaking his hands apart. As he lands, fireworks erupt on either side of the stage before the arena’s lights come back on. Kathryn Helms, who was stood directly behind her husband, holds her hands in the Self High Five before slowly breaking them apart her self and smiling.

Sharper: “And we’re going to open up tonight joined by the World Champion, David Helms. He managed to get past Christy Matthews who threw everything at him, but couldn’t get it done.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. She even had Christopher Richter get involved far more than we’ve ever seen. She wanted to win at all costs, but Helms managed to pull through.”

Helms, his SCW World Title fastened around his waist, begins to walk down the ramp; hiving fiving with fans as he makes his way to the ring. As he gets to the apron, Helms slides under the rope and runs over to the nearest ring post where he jumps up onto the second turnbuckle and throws his arms out wide on either side. As Kathryn climbs up onto the ring apron, the crowd are going completely nuts for Helms, the self professed Last Shadow of Hope, who drops down from the ring post and runs across to the opposite side, once again climbing to the second turnbuckle. Hitting the self high five one last time, Helms jumps into the air and lands in the middle of the ring before Kathryn enters the ring. David Helms then walks over to Jason Phillips and takes the microphone before turning and walking back to the middle of the ring. He then straightens the World Championship over his shoulder and looks out as the crowd cheers for him.

 

Helms: “So it seems that after everything that Infamous was looking to do, I still have managed to hold on and reign supreme as the World Champion.”

 

Helms pauses as the crowd cheers.

 

Helms: “The title that Infamous said they wouldn’t be driven to insane levels for, Christy Matthews who always wanted to deserve her shots made it clear she would do ANYTHING for this belt and yet, even so, her underhanded tactics were unable to get it done. She wasn’t able to leave Retribution as the World Champion. Yeah, she brought it and gave me a hell of a fight...but I handed it right back to her and sent her back to the drawing board.”

 

Helms pauses, looking less happy and more concerned.

 

Helms: “Now, I’m not going to talk anymore about that....it’s the past. I was a success, but Infamous should know, if they want another go, they just have to find me and I’ll be happy to give them round two. But that this title won’t be going anywhere if I have anything to say about it. I’m proud to be champion and I’m proud to face any and all who wish to take me on!”

 

The crowd cheers. Helms goes to continue before the opening guitar riffs are heard leading into "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin. The crowd starts to cheer 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 at David Helms with the SCW United States Championship over his shoulder. Greg Cherry starts to walk down to the ring as Helms turns and looks at him. The crowd cheers as Greg starts to head towards him.

 

Sharper: “And Greg Cherry is coming out now. I think Helms just may have given Greg Cherry a reason to talk to him.”

 

Dawson: “He’s the top contender. He defeated Shilo Valiant. Greg Cherry is on top of the world and we all know what he’s really going for. He wants to win the World Championship so he can reunite with his wife, due to an ill-thought out agreement.”

 

Kayl: “I’m sorry, but I don’t see how the hell Greg was so stupid to agree to that, but it’s motivated him. Who knows?”

 

Greg walks down to the ring before walking over to the steel steps. He briefly looks around the ring before stepping through the ropes and entering into the ring. He then walks over to Kathryn and Helms and Helms just says something to him before Greg Cherry walks over and is handed a microphone. He then turns back towards Helms as the crowd cheers a bit and the music fades out.

 

Cherry: “Did I hear you say that if say someone wanted a shot to just come ask you?”

 

Helms just smirks.

 

Cherry: “Now, I’m not going to be like Lucas or even Starr and come out here and demand the shot. I know that’s my reputation. And I know what people are going to think. But the fact remains, you know what’s on the line for me and there’s no harm trying to see what you’d say. I’ve worked my way up the rankings. I’ve dropped Shawn Winters. I managed to defeat Shilo Valiant in a hell of a match at Retribution for this United States Championship. Now, I’m out here to ask you, man to man, champion to champion....can I get a shot at the World Championship and right my stupidity from five months ago?”

 

The crowd cheers and Greg just looks at Helms. Helms just looks at Greg and the two trade some words without the microphone amplifying them so no one can hear. Helms then goes to bring his microphone up.

 

“NECRO!”

 

 The crowd roars as Greg turns and glances back as Kathryn and David both turn to the entrance way and we see Shilo Valiant walk out from the back as “For Your Entertainment” blares throughout the arena.

 

Kayl: “I think someone has something to say first!”

 

Dawson: “Well he can’t deny that Greg should get a shot before him. Greg did beat him in a rankings match at Retribution!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as Shilo Valiant just smirks at Greg and walks down to the ring. He then runs over and hops onto the apron. He then looks at Greg before entering into the ring. He then walks past Greg and Helms before climbing up onto the middle turnbuckle and looking out at the crowd. He then jumps down before reaching through the ropes and being handed a microphone of his own. He then turns around and looks at Greg and David. The music starts to fade out as the crowd continues to cheer.

 

Shilo: “Now....whoa, Greg. Just let’s hold up here. I mean, we all know that you’ve got like a nose like a bloodhound for the damn World Championship, but I need to discuss something with you first. Helms....well, you know what....I wish I could be taking Greg’s spot out here tonight to make my claim at a shot at you, but I suppose we may have to hold off on that since Greg here guarantees his shot first, BUT....that doesn’t mean I can’t ask Greggo here for something.”

 

The crowd roars as Greg turns to him.

 

Shilo: “Now, Greg, you have some extra responsibility since you have that on your shoulder...”

 

Shilo points at the United States Championship, tapping its faceplate.

 

Shilo: “And while you may have ended the Tour de Necro at Retribution, it’s looking to start up again and I’m out here because as you just said, we had a hell of a match and at Retribution, you managed to outduel me....and you’re now champion. Your spot in the history books is all good and safe. But see, I care about that title. I care about the United States Championship as it was what helped put me on the map and it brought entertainment to each and every here!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Shilo: “So Greg...before you take your World Championship shot....I want my rematch at the United States Championship!”

 

The crowd cheers further and Greg Cherry looks down and looks at the SCW United States Championship and David Helms just smirks as he watches both. The crowd continues to cheer as Shilo just looks out at the crowd and points to them, even sticking out the microphone towards them. The camera picks up Shilo Valiant’s face and clearly shows what he says despite it not being in the microphone.

 

Shilo: “Here that....it’s what they want.”

 

The crowd cheers before “Rescue Me” starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd continues to focus on the ring before we see Sasha Drachewych walk out from the back as Helms focuses on her as Greg Cherry and Shilo Valiant continues to focus on each other. Sasha looks down at the ring as the Breakdown theme plays for a few moments longer before fading out and Sasha holds a microphone up to her face.

 

Sasha: “Boys! Shilo! Greg! And of course, Mr. and Mrs. Helms. You should listen as well. I’ve been in the back and I’ve heard all of the talk and to throw it all out on the line. David, you never had a chance to respond, but I hope you don’t mind me interjecting myself here.”

 

David just motions that he’s fine as he waves his hand as Kathryn playfully hits him on the shoulder.

 

Sasha: “See, Greg, you are the number one contender on the World Championship rankings, but two matters I think need to be also mentioned. I think Shilo Valiant’s defense of the World Championship was particularly, and no pun intended, valiant and he was, albeit for a short time, also listed as the number one contender to the World Championship as well. See, Shilo, Greg, you are right that you are the next rightful challenger and Shilo can’t get his shot before him....but we have a bit of an interesting situation in about one month’s time when SCW, for the first time ever, holds two pay per view events on back to back nights on April 16th and 17th with Riding the Lightning. And David, if you’re a fighting champion, I’m sure you won’t mind. Because I’m going to officially announce right now that on Night One, we will see Greg Cherry challenge David Helms for the World Championship!”

 

The crowd cheers as Greg Cherry just smiles and looks quite relieved.

 

Sasha: “But that’s not all. Because regardless of who the champion is Shilo Valiant...you will challenge them for the World Championship on Night Two!”

 

The crowd cheers as Shilo just beams with his own happiness.

 

Sasha: “And if Greg Cherry happens to dethrone David Helms on Night One, then both the World and United States Championships will be on the line!”

 

The crowd roars as Sasha Drachewych just smiles.

 

Sasha: “Good luck gentlemen.”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as Shilo Valiant and Greg Cherry look at each other before both then turn to David Helms and look at the World Championship.

 


Sharper: “Oh my God! What an announcement. On back to back nights, the World Championship will be on the line. Greg Cherry gets the shot on Night One. Shilo Valiant on Night Two. And if Greg Cherry wins the World Title on Night One, Greg Cherry has to defend both the World Championship and United States Championship on Night Two!”

 

Kayl: “Huge opportunity. Huge stakes! Wow! Talk about giving the fans what they want.”

 

Dawson: “And what Greg Cherry wants. And what Shilo Valiant wants! We’re going to hopefully resolve all of that at Riding the Lightning!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as “Rescue Me” starts to play in the background and Sasha Drachewych returns to the back. The cameras focus on the scene in the ring for a moment longer before a still for Breakdown comes up on the screen and then shows Midnight Boulevard vs. Dark Fantasy.

 

Sharper: “Well plenty more to come here tonight. We will see Shilo Valiant in action tonight as he teams with Marina Trent to face Dark Fantasy in tag team action.”

 

Dawson: “Karnivale versus Dark Fantasy is rekindled tonight.”

 

The still then changes to show Jason Zero standing over Thorn and CHBK in a still from Retribution.

 

Sharper: “And we expect to hear not only from Thorn and CHBK, but Jason Zero. Why did he attack both Thorn and CHBK? We hope to find out later tonight. So much happening here at Breakdown, don’t go anywhere!”

 

The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Lucas Knight vs. Rachel Foxx

 

The lights in the arena go completely dark as the eerie intro of "Lifelike" by Karnivool begins playing over the loud speakers. As the strings continue a single electric guitar strum echos through the arena, lightning strikes on the jumbo-tron illuminate a female silhouette. The silhouette fades, and the words "THE SUICIDE QUEEN" appear in jagged letters, and then fade. More lightning strikes illuminate a picture of Rachel's eyes, and then fade into the words "RACHEL FOXX". As the intro reaches its climax, we hear a sadistic female laugh. The intro ends and loud guitars begin blaring over the speakers as blue pyros shoot up in front of the entrance. After a few moments, Rachel Foxx walks out the wall of blue sparks arm in arm with Alex Jr. as she carries her trademark sledgehammer in the other hand. Rachel is wearing a black Affliction shirt that has been cut into a half-shirt and hangs off one shoulder, a black skirt with a white studded belt, black fishnet stockings and knee high leather boots. The sparks fade and the house lights return, casting an eerie blue glow over the entire arena. Rachel takes a deep breath, plasters an evil grin on her lips, and kisses Alex before the pair begins sauntering down the ramp. The crowd boos and throws things at the couple, but they ignore them as they slowly swagger down the ramp. As they reach the ring, Alex hurries up the steps and hold the ropes open as Rachel slowly makes her way into the ring. Rachel climbs the turn buckle and raises her arms in the air as a wall of fire shoots up behind her. Evil burns in her eyes as she tilts her head back and releases a sadistic laugh. After a few moments, the flames die down, and Rachel hops off the turnbuckle and kisses Alex again before he hops out of the ring.

 

Sharper: “At Retribution, things did not go as planned for Rachel Foxx and Alex Desoubrais Jr. However, tonight, Rachel Foxx has a chance to make a statement by taking on Lucas Knight.”

 

Dawson: “As Lucas Knight is forced to continue to prove himself. Lucas Knight has looked as violent and as sharp as we’ve seen him in the past recently, but he’s going to need to continue that in order to get the opportunity he wants. He wants a shot back at greatness and not, as he puts it, just being the lapdog of CHBK.”

 

Kayl: “Easy. Kick the hell out of CHBK and then he’s just Lucas Knight. No longer a lapdog...though, there is Ravyn. I figure he could just let a stiff wind take care of her.”

 

Out go the lights with a flick of the switch sending the arena into complete darkness, soon after a sole crimson spotlight hit’s the stage entrance as an infamous quote from Al Pacino hit’s the P.A System along with the opening rift to “Redefine” by SOiL while the silhouette's of two men can be seen walking onto the stage area.

“YOU THINK YOUR BIG TIME?”

“YOU’RE GONNA DIE BIG TIME!”

“YOU READY? HERE COMES THE PAIN!”

With a boom pyrotechnics’ explodes and with it “Redefine” by SOiL kicks into full gear as the lights now come back on and standing on stage once the smoke settles is Lucas Knight decked out in his wrestling attire and a focused look in his eyes, standing alongside him is his friend, mentor and fellow Order of Chaos founder and Infamous advisor Pete Ebdon.

The crowd erupts with a tirade of boo’s as Lucas just confidently begins to walk towards the ring without even a care in the world as Ebdon follows with a smirk on his face. Lucas stops mid drift to talk trash to random fans who obviously say something which caught his attention but he laughs afterwards and continues on with encouragement by Ebdon. Once he reaches the bottom of the ramp Lucas leaps up onto the apron and climbs into the ring via the middle ropes and extends his arms as the crowd’s ire towards him grows louder and louder, Ebdon however begins to walk around the ring receiving various taunts from the crowd which he ignores. In the ring Lucas then begins to remove his jacket and hang's it over the steel ring post in his corner before turning around and Rachel Foxx nails him with a dropkick, knocking him back hard and then back down. The crowd roars and Rachel then turns and starts to hammer away at the back of Lucas’ head.

 

Sharper: “And Rachel Foxx wasting little time here tonight as she has come right at Lucas Knight.”

 

Dawson: “Dropkick caused him to go hard into the corner and now, Rachel is just going right after him.”

 

Rachel continues to hammer away as Lucas gets to the ropes. Pete Ebdon demands for Rachel to be forced off of Lucas. The referee starts to call for the break before starting to count.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Rachel however keeps hammering away. She then gets up and starts to stomp away at the head of Lucas Knight. Knight tries to cover and Ebdon then grabs at him only for Alex Desoubrais Jr. to run over and nail Ebdon with a running clothesline, knocking him down. He rolls over and Alex Jr. stomps him in the head as the referee starts to pull Rachel off of Lucas and Rachel turns and nails the referee with a forearm. She then turns around and Lucas starts to get up and Rachel kicks him in the ribs. Lucas falls to his knees and Rachel just smirks before nailing him with a hard forearm. The bell sounds as the crowd boos.

 

Kayl: “And Rachel has just gotten herself disqualified.”

 

Sharper: “Obviously there is something deeper, a deeper motivation, but Rachel Foxx isn’t holding up at all and Alex Desoubrais Jr. is now getting a chair.”

 

Kayl: “I guarantee that’s not for him to sit in.”

 

Rachel Foxx then turns as she grabs Lucas, but Lucas pushes Rachel away before dropping down and rolling to the floor. Alex Desoubrais Jr. looks over at him and he just holds his hands up, starting to back away from the ring. The crowd boos as Rachel Foxx just glares at Lucas. Alex Desoubrais Jr. starts to follow him a bit before we then see Sasha appear on the big screen.

 

Kayl: “Whoa...wait a minute.”

 

Sasha: “Hold it. Hold it!”

 

The crowd buzzes a bit and Lucas looks up at the big screen, as does Rachel Foxx.

 

Sasha: “Now, Lucas, I know that you’d take that win and run. Of course you would. But I distinctly remember you whining about being CHBK’s lapdog. Now, granted, you have no one to blame but yourself there, but I’m for giving you opportunities. We all know you want to get back to a point where you could challenge for the SCW World Championship. We all know that you’ve been claiming that was a lapse of consciousness. Well, I don’t want to see you running anymore. I’m ordering this match to restart and to make sure you actually have to win, I’m going to make this underground rules!”

 

The crowd roars as Lucas Knight just looks a bit shocked before smirking a bit only for Alex Desoubrais Jr. to nail him in the ribs with his chair as Sasha disappears from the screen. The crowd cheers and Alex Jr. then turns and slides the chair into the ring before rolling Knight in. Rachel turns, smiling and as Lucas starts to get up. Rachel stomps him in the head.

 

Kayl: “Underground rules. Well, something tells me he shouldn’t be happy when someone pissed off is standing behind him with a chair!”

 

Dawson: “And Lucas Knight back into the ring with Rachel Foxx waiting for him!”

 

Rachel grabs the chair and lifts it up before bringing it up and driving it down into the back of Lucas Knight. Knight rolls over, arching his back in pain. Rachel just smirks. Ebdon starts to get up as Alex Desoubrais Jr. pulls himself up onto the apron and Rachel unfolds the chair and places it in down in the middle of the ring. She then grabs Lucas and turns and whips him into the ropes. Lucas bounces off the ropes and Rachel catches him on the rebound and drives him down with a facebuster into the seat of the chair. The crowd cheers and Rachel turns to Alex Desoubrais Jr. who springboards to the top rope. He steadies himself, but Ebdon hops on and pushes Alex Jr. off the top rope and into the barricade. He bounces off and falls back. Ebdon then drops down as Rachel just glares at him. She then walks over to the ropes and reaches through only for Ebdon to nail her with a hard right. She stumbles back and Knight starts to slowly stir before he manages to hoist Rachel up and drop her ribs first into the seat of the chair. The crowd ohs and Rachel rolls over.

 

Dawson: “Ebdon involved and down goes Rachel thanks to Lucas Knight launching her into the chair.”

 

Sharper: “Alex Jr. down too as he flew off the top rope and into the barricade. He’s worse for wear.”

 

Rachel starts to get up and Lucas Knight grabs her and lifts her up before spiking her with a DDT. He then rolls over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out. She turns and starts to get up. Lucas grabs her and drags her up a bit before kneeing her in the ribs. Rachel winces. Ebdon then reaches under the ring and grabs another chair and slides it into the ring. Lucas then turns and throws Rachel into the corner, face first. Lucas then turns and walks over to the chair Ebdon brought in before lifting it up and turning and throwing it at the face of Rachel Foxx. Foxx drops down to her knee before the chair falls to the mat. Lucas then grabs her and clubs her in the back. He follows up and grabs the chair, unfolding it and placing it down next to the other chair, the seats facing each other before he grabs Rachel. He then hoists her up and hooks her arm.

 

Sharper: “Oh no. This is going to be bad for the Suicide Queen. Lucas Knight has her hooked right in front of those opened chairs.”

 

Kayl: “Just think about going back first into them. Just dropped hard. That’ll wreck someone.”

 

Lucas then goes to lift her up, but Rachel turns and lands behind Lucas and pushes him forward. She then moves out of the way as Lucas bounces off the ropes, chest first and Rachel then jumps up and dropkicks him in the jaw, causing him to fall back and land hard on the seats of the chair before falling right back and over the chairs to the mat. The crowd ohs. Rachel then looks over before turning into the ropes. She bounces off them and jumps onto the seats of the chairs before jumping up and hitting a shooting star press onto Lucas Knight. The crowd ohs and Rachel turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Lucas shoots his arm up and the crowd ohs. Ebdon then grabs a kendo stick as he then enters into the ring and Rachel gets up and Ebdon turns and nails her in the head. She drops down as the crowd ohs and Ebdon just smirks before dropping the kendo stick.

 

Dawson: “Ebdon with the kendo stick to the head. Rachel Foxx dropped from it.”

 

Sharper: “Ebdon is not just a face for Infamous. He’s been in the ring and has had a hell of a career outside of SCW. He knows what to do. And right there, he may have just dimmed Rachel’s lights for good.”

 

Kayl: “Here comes Alju!”

 

Lucas starts to stir as Alex Desoubrais Jr. gets up and runs at Ebdon and nails him down from the side. Ebdon drops down and Alex Desoubrais Jr. nails him with a couple of shots before Ebdon rolls over to the ropes. He starts to get up and Alex Jr. pushes him through the ropes before the two fall to the floor. Lucas then grabs Rachel Foxx and lifts her up before dropping her with an STO. He follows up with a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel gets her shoulder up. The crowd cheers. Rachel then rolls over and Lucas grabs her. He lifts her up by the hair before locking her in an inverted headlock, but Rachel turns around and lifts Lucas up and throws him back with a back suplex. She then rolls over and goes for the kendo stick as Ebdon and Alex Jr. get up and Alex Jr. clotheslines Ebdon down.

 

Sharper: “Ebdon down on the floor. Rachel coming back by telegraphing the Hail Britannia!”

 

Dawson: “They may get the revenge they want from Retribution! They may get one over on Infamous...on Lucas Knight!”

 

Alex Desoubrais Jr. then grabs Ebdon as Rachel lifts the stick up goes to place it around the throat of Lucas. Lucas looks up and tries to reach around as the crowd boos and we then see a figure slide into the ring. The figure, a complete unknown, suddenly grabs Rachel and flips over her head and drives her face first into the seats of the chairs. The crowd ohs and Rachel rolls over. Alex Desoubrais Jr. looks up and slides into the ring only for Ebdon to grab him by the leg and pull him up before nailing him with a hard clothesline. The crowd ohs and Lucas then grabs Rachel and spins her out in the UKOD. He goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos and Lucas rolls over before falling to the apron. He then rolls to the floor as the unknown individual and Ebdon walk over to him. They rejoin him and Lucas turns and smiles as he embraces the unknown. Ebdon then raises Lucas’s head as Rachel starts to stir. Alex Jr. looks up enraged.

 

Sharper: “Who the hell was that?”

 

Dawson: “Either way, Infamous just used that man to get a win over Rachel Foxx!”

 

Kayl: “And trust me, Foxx and Alju are plenty pissed now. And that other guy, he’s got a target on his ass!”

 

The three starts to back towards the stage as the crowd continues to boo. Rachel stirs and starts to pull herself up as Lucas, Ebdon and the other man walk to the back and Breakdown heads to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Lucas Knight walking with the man and Ebdon as Ravyn Taylor stands in the hallway.

 

Lucas: “Oh Ravyn...coming out to watch how someone gets the work done.”

 

Ravyn: “Yeah...yeah....So is this your student here. Your little protégé.”

 

Lucas: “Oh yeah and he’s passing with flying colours right now. Ryan Watson, meet the girl who’s snubbing the old man-“

 

Watson: “Damn! I know who she is. And she’s boffing Syren too. I’d like to get to know you better.”

 

Ravyn: “Good luck on that.”

 

Watson just winks. Lucas shakes his head and walks towards Ravyn.

 

Lucas: “Either way, Ravyn, you should be nice to me. I mean, I did prove I was the winner of our team at Retribution and if you doubted it, I just beat Junior and psychobitch again out there.”

 

Ravyn: “Oh yes, whatever would I do without you?”

 

Lucas: “Come on. You can say it. The kid here won’t remind you all the time.”

 

Ravyn: “Whatever Lucas.”

 

Ravyn turns and walks off as Lucas just smirks as Ebdon and Watson continue towards the Infamous locker room.

 

Sharper: “Ryan Watson? Apparently the protégé of Lucas Knight.”

 

Kayl: “Great. More assholes in Infamous. Seriously, what the hell?”

Joachim Fiore vs. Anthony Wallace

 

The words 'Joachim Fiore' flash across the big screen as Scream Aim Fire by Bullet for my Valentine plays its opening chords. The camera goes to the locker just as Joachim Fiore walks out. He shoots out to the camera and sticks his wrists out, showing his handcuffs to the world. One of the police from the arena comes into view. With a key, he unlocks the cuffs. Fiore marches to the stage entrance, and the camera changes to the ramp. Fiore comes out to a mixture of jeers and cheers. He takes off hid top and gets into the ring. He crawls over to the turnbuckle, where he turns and sits against it, lighting a cigarette as the music dies down.

Dawson: Joachim Fiore beat Aiden Maddox, Corey Douglas and Sebastian Shane on the March Second edition of Breakdown in a somewhat controversial finish to pick up his first win in SCW.

Sharper: The referee had his back turned on Maddox when he went for the pin on Corey Douglas so he only saw Fiore attempt to pin Sebastian Shane.

Dawson: And I think it’s safe to say that Fiore will want to carry that momentum forward tonight against Anthony Wallace.

As if by magic, the lights cut out as “The Devils Own” by Five Finger Death Punch blasts over the arena sound system. A white strobe light flickers at the edge of the stage as a close up of Anthony Wallace’s screaming face is shown on the big screen in time with the scream of the songs opening line.

Smoke begins to roll along the stage area as Wallace slowly makes his way from backstage to the top of the ramp, his head hung low towards the ground.

Kayl: Wallace himself is coming off the back of a big loss against Shaun Cruze at Retribution, no doubt he’ll want to right a few wrongs tonight as he tries to recover the form he had early in his SCW career.

As the singer finally kicks in, Wallace throws his arms out wide and his head upwards, screaming to the world at large before looking down at the ring. Closing his eyes to compose himself, he begins to walk down to the ring, ignoring the outstretched hands of the fans who want to touch someone famous.

Getting to ringside, Wallace slides under the bottom rope and quickly pulls himself up before pacing the ring to a chorus of boo's from the crowd. After a few laps of the canvas, Wallace steps into a corner and leans back on the ropes waiting for the start of the match. Fiore takes one final drag on his cigarette before flicking it out of the ring onto the concrete at the bottom of the ramp as the referee calls for the bell.

Sharper: And the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway here in Salt Lake City!

In the ring, Wallace and Fiore have begun to circle each other, waiting for an opportunity to strike, both men tentatively lunging at one another when they think they’ve spotted an opening. Eventually, they realise they’ve reached a stalemate and the pair lock up in a test of strength.

Kayl: It’s tough to tell who really has the upper hand in this match as Anthony Wallace is an inch taller but Fiore is ten pounds heavier; this could very well come down to strength versus speed…

Sharper: Wallace has an experience edge but Fiore can certainly handle himself, a product of apparently spending time in prison throughout his life.

On cue, Fiore takes the upper hand and lands a big uppercut that sends Wallace staggering back towards the corner, where Fiore follows him. He starts raining down punches to the head and body, Wallace doing his best to try and cover up as the referee orders Fiore out of the corner.

Dawson: Joachim Fiore is viciously taking this to Anthony Wallace; he’s throwing lefts and rights like it’s a prize fight in Las Vegas!

Fiore, listening to the referee, backs off a few feet only to turn and go for a discuss clothesline on Wallace in the corner but the Rejected leader ducks out of the way and rolls to the outside, leaving Fiore to slam into the ring post chest first. The crowd rain boos down on the ring as Wallace grabs both of Fiore’s legs and pulls them out from under him, causing him to slam back first onto the canvas. The referee warns Wallace to get back in the ring but he ignores the official, grabbing Fiore’s feet and pulling him crotch first into the ring post.

Kayl: Ouch! That has got to hurt!

As Fiore covers his groin while wincing in pain, the referee warns Wallace again before beginning a ten count as Wallace grabs hold of Fiore’s left leg (1). Wallace laughs at the referee as he counts before stretching out Joachim’s leg(2). He points at the ring post before slamming Fiore’s knee hard into the steel post, a collective ‘ooh’ echoing from all corners of the crowd(3). The referee continues to lecture Wallace as he walks past the booing fans before finally sliding under the bottom rope and into the ring.

Dawson: This is beyond acceptable; the referee should have disqualified Wallace straight away!

Sharper: Technically, he hasn’t broken any rules so it’s out of the refs hands…

In the ring, Fiore is gripping his knee in pain as the referee checks on him. Wallace, who was stood in the opposite corner, walks over to Fiore and grabs hold of his injured leg and drags him into the middle of the ring before stomping on the injured knee. Fiore doubles up, grabbing at the knee but Wallace kicks him back down before grabbing the left leg and lifting it up before dropping an elbow onto the knee, grabbing the leg afterwards and pulling. Fiore shakes his head violently as the referee checks for signs of him submitting but there’s nothing. Fiore slams his fists against the canvas as Wallace applies a little more pressure on the leg but before he can do any more damage, Fiore starts kicking out with his free leg and connects clean with the side of Wallace’s head, breaking the hold.

Kayl: Fiore mounting a comeback here!

Fiore gets back to his feet, using the ropes to support his weight as Wallace slowly climbs back to his feet in the corner, trying to shake off the cobwebs. As Wallace turns round, Fiore pushes off the ropes and takes Wallace down with a clothesline but his leg buckles underneath his weight and he falls too but he immediately hooks the leg, going for the pin.

One.

Tw-

Wallace kicks out quickly and rolls out of the ring before Fiore can get back to his feet, pacing in front of the fans who are shouting insults in his direction. Fiore leans into the turnbuckles, bending his knee trying to bring the feeling back as Wallace slides back into the ring. Wallace charges at Fiore but he grabs hold of the top rope and drops, sending Wallace crashing into the ring posts. Fiore pulls himself up as Wallace stumbles away from the corner and before Wallace can react, Fiore grabs him by the hair and nails a reverse DDT. Fiore goes for the pin again but Wallace kicks out before the referee can begin counting. Fiore climbs back to his feet, favouring his good leg, before lifting Wallace up and throwing a couple of blows to the stomach before hitting a hip toss that puts Wallace flat on his back.

Sharper: Wallace really struggling to catch his breath after that huge hip toss knocked the wind clean out of him!

Spluttering, Wallace begins to climb onto his hands as knees as Fiore starts to lower his knee pad. As Wallace starts to get up, Fiore charges at him and goes for a running knee to the skull but Wallace sees it coming and drops flat onto the canvas, causing Fiore to leap over his body and crash into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Wallace jumps to his feet as Fiore comes back off the ropes, catching Fiore and hitting a huge scoop powerslam, hooking the leg before going for the pin.

One.

Thr-

Kayl: Anthony Wallace nearly had this win after turning the tide on Joachim Fiore!

Dawson: Fiore went for the Knee De Magnum but Wallace was ready for it…

Wallace gets to his feet and slips out of the ring, grabbing a chair from near the announcers table and folding it up. The referee slips out of the ring and gets in Wallace’s face, trying to get him to put down the chair but he only laughs at him in disgust.

Sharper: Looks like someone’s had enough and wants to end this early; Wallace knows that this match is over as soon as he uses that chair…

Wallace pushes the referee out of the way and slides back into the ring, where Fiore has slowly made his way over to the ropes and has started getting to his feet. Wallace kicks the injured leg of Fiore, taking his feet out from under him, causing him to crash to the canvas. The referee slides back into the ring and goes to grab the chair from Wallace but he pulls it away and threatens to hit the official, who backs off holding his hands up. Wallace places the chair under Fiore’s injured leg before grabbing hold of the top rope and using it to push off of, attempting to drop a knee onto the injured leg of Fiore. Unfortunately for Wallace, Joachim is too quick and he rolls off, sending Wallace’s knees smashing into the folded up chair.

Kayl: Images of Retribution are coming back to me right now; Wallace tried to use the steel steps to aid him against Shaun Cruze and that didn’t work out all that well for the leader of The Rejected…

Dawson: He tried using that chair to shatter Fiore’s knee cap but he may have inadvertently shattered his own instead!

In the ring, the referee manages to kick the chair to the outside but Wallace is still down holding onto his knee. Fiore spots his moment and grabs hold of Wallace and lifts him up off the canvas. He Kicks him in the stomach, doubling him over before using his fingers as pistols, firing a couple of shots at Wallace. Fiore grabs Wallace and lifts him up onto his shoulders, ready to hit the Fleur-de-li, but Wallace begins to struggle free, dropping down behind Fiore and kicking him hard in the back of the leg, dropping him to one knee. Sneering at Fiore, Wallace grabs his head and sets him up for a DDT before kicking Fiore’s legs out from underneath him, nailing the Ward-10. Wallace rolls Fiore over and hooks the leg as the referee drops down to count the pin.

One…

Two…

THREE!!!

The crowd boos as Wallace rolls off of Fiore, an evil grin spread across his face. He pushes his hair out of his eyes as ‘The Devils Own’ by Five Finger Death Punch hits the PA system. Wallace eventually starts to climb to his feet, leaving Fiore down on the canvas breathing heavily.

Sharper: That Ward-10 DDT has won Wallace several matches in the last year and he’s got another one tonight…

Dawson: And he gives Joachim Fiore his first loss in Supreme Championship Wrestling too.

Kayl: He said this week that he wanted to send a message to SCW and I’d say that this match will certainly have their attention.

The scene opens backstage and we see several officials in what looks to be the catering area of the arena. Loud yelling is heard. We see a cameraman run up before we see a large man, seeming having falling clean through one of the tables holding bottles of water and ice and cold drinks. The large man tries to roll over to get out. The cameraman manages to get closer before we then see someone from SCW’s past, F.A.T., Frank Allen Thompson, in the table, struggling to get up and the officials trying to figure out how to get him up.

 

F.A.T.: “Oh damn. I’m so sorry guys. This....this isn’t going to be good. I think I’ve turtled. Jesus....He won’t be pleased. The tables haven’t been reinforced yet. Good spread though.”

 

F.A.T. rolls over and manages to get to his knee. He rolls onto his hands and knees and starts to get up before pushing down on another table, causing the leg to collapse.

 

F.A.T.: “Yeah, table strength, hasn’t improved. Oh well.....Someone....get me a television and place it next to my head. Please move that tray closer. I promise not to destroy anymore equipment. I’ve been sent to do research. Research for his return. Trust me. He’s someone you don’t want unhappy! Come on! Someone! Someone?”

 

The officials, obviously getting annoyed just shake their heads and start to walk off, leaving F.A.T. without a television or the tray just feet away from him.

 

F.A.T.: “Oh...this is hell....”

 

F.A.T. falls back, laying on the ground as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage and we see Shilo Valiant in the Karnivale locker room. Masquerade just looks up at him and applauds a bit.

 

Masquerade: “So it looks like you’re going to get what you want.”

 

Shilo: “A bit more than that. I just wanted a second go.”

 

Masquerade: “Well you did lose to Greg Cherry.”

 

Shilo: “Yeah, yeah. But I guess I’m getting more. That World Championship shot. It’s going to be a fun ride.”

 

Shilo just smiles.

 

Masquerade: “Well good. I’m glad....”

 

Shilo: “You sure?”

 

Masquerade just smiles and pats Shilo on the back.

 

Masquerade: “Oh yeah. Don’t worry. Because I’m going to work on getting what I want too.”

 

Masquerade smiles and Shilo just looks at him.

 

Shilo: “Things I guess are looking up. Good luck then.”

 

Masquerade: “Same to you.”

 

Masquerade just smiles as Shilo walks past him. The camera focuses on Masquerade for a moment before we cut to ringside.

Madison Steward vs. Disco Ninja

 

“Can't Be Tamed” 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. The spot light stays trained on Madison as she start her walk down the ramp. Madison dressed in her ring gear with her own version of the Team Desire sleeveless jacket. As she reaches 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 to go nuts with cheers. Maddy climbs down off the ropes and enters the ring where she heads to her corner to get ready for the match to begin.

Dawson: The high spirited Madison Steward looking better than ever in the ring.

Sharper: You mean Madison Evans. She’s really made a transformation thanks to Francis Evans.

A large Disco Ball descends above the ring. Filling the arena with spinning lights while the arena lights grow dim and The Bee Gees' "Night Fever" hits the audio system of the arena. Suddenly a puff of smoke explodes at the top of the ramp leading down to the ring. From this hazy view, everyone can see a shadowed figure disco dancing while the smoke fades. When the smoke clears and the Disco Ninja is seen in the dim light of his disco lights. He starts a series of handspring flips down to the ring, stopping at the aporn before rolling over the top rope and does a quick silent Bruce Lee like pose before throwing three shuriken shaped pryotechnics into the air above the ring which they explode, raining brightly colorful sparks over the ring as The Disco Ninja crosses arms over his chest and awaits the start of the match.

Kayl: I don’t know about Disco Ninja. I am kind of disappointed I was hoping he’ll be dressed more colorful.

Sharper: Nope, just a black and deadly ninja. This is going to be a very interesting mixture of styles to say the least.

Maddy steps out of her corner and stares at her opponent, Disco Ninja. Maddy begins to preach to him. Disco Ninja just stands in his corner staring straight out in from of him showing great control of himself. Disco Ninja walks out of his corner and he bows in front of Maddy and then gets into his fighting stance. Maddy begins to shake her head looking to be insulted by Disco Ninja’s willing to fight. Maddy gets into her own unique fighting stance Both of them keep an eye on the other waiting for one to make the first move. Maddy takes a swing at Disco Ninja and he easily avoids it and then opens up with a lightning fast combination of kicks and punches attacking Maddy and driving her back into her corner. The referee gets in the middle of the two so he can separate them. Disco Ninja walks backwards back to the center of the ring and takes another bow to Maddy.

Kayl: Point goes to Disco Ninja.

Maddy stays in her corner and looks at Disco Ninja. The referee talks to her and tells her she has to come out and continue the match.

Dawson: You think Maddy is starting to have second thoughts about this match?

Sharper: Unfortunely no, The book of Evans doesn’t teach one to run away.

Maddy steps out of her corner and walks straight up to Disco Ninja and the two lock up in the middle of the ring. Disco Ninja easily wins the battle and throws Maddy to the mat. Maddy sits up and immediately grabs her ankle. The referee gets down and checks to see if she is ok.

Dawson: Madison looks like she might have taken a bad fall.

The referee helps Maddy up off the mat and she starts to limp back to her corner. The referee continues to check on Maddy, but she pushes him aside and limps back to the center of the ring where Disco Ninja is. Maddy begins to throw punches at Disco Ninja trying to hurt him, but they appear to not even affect him. Maddy grabs Disco Ninja arm and throws him into the corner of the ring. Disco Ninja grabs the ropes and lifts himself up and does a headstand on the top turnbuckle. Maddy stops and stares.

Dawson: Disco Ninja showing off an impressive balancing act.

Kayl: Of course, he’s a ninja.

Maddy walks towards Disco Ninja and he suddenly lowers her legs down and Maddy quickly backs off. Disco Ninja lifts his legs back up.

Dawson: Disco Ninja is playing around with Madison.

Maddy charages at Disco Ninja and he lowers his legs again and wraps them around Maddy’s neck and Disco Ninja hits a hurricarana on Maddy. Maddy rolls and hits the mat. Disco Ninja jumps to his feet and does a little disco before he goes for the pin attempt.

1…

2…

Maddy kicks out pin fall pretty easily.

Dawson: A near fall for Disco Ninja.

Maddy rolls over on the mat and gets back to her feet. She charges at Disco Ninja who is getting up. He catches Maddy’s arm and hits an arm drag and she flies over Disco Ninja and hits the mat. Disco Ninja wraps his legs around her arm for an armbar submission, but Maddy quickly shifts her body and gets her legs wrapped on the bottom rope to break the hold.

Dawson: Disco Ninja seems to be a lot quicker than Maddy.

Kayl: I guess the answer Maddy was looking for was in the very back of the Book of Evans.

Disco Ninja is back on his feet first while Maddy is a bit slower. Disco Ninja starts to stalk her a bit while she gets to her feet. Disco Ninja closes in, but Maddy tackles at Disco Ninja’s legs taking him down. Maddy quickly jumps onto and blindly throwing punches at him.

Dawson: Madison finally getting Disco Ninja down on the mat.

Maddy starts to stand and she stomps down hard on Disco Ninja’s knees. Maddy grabs Disco Ninjas legs and turns him over. She applies a boston crab submission.

Dawson: A Boston Crab submission. Madison looking to make Disco Ninja tap.

Sharper: Madison making sure her opponents give up what they believe in makes it a lot easier to sell the Evanists lifestyle.

Kayl: Evanists? Ugh, I almost want Madison to go back to wanting to be a Steward.

Maddy continues to keep Disco Ninja locked in the Boston crab. He tries to make his way to the ropes and the referee checks in to see it he submits. Maddy tries to hold on and Disco Ninja lifts his body up off the mat. He begins to power out of the Boston crab and breaks the submits causing Maddy to flip forward onto the mat behind Disco Ninja. Disco Ninka drops to his knees on top of Maddy for cover.

Maddy gets her legs up and hooks them under Disco Ninja pulling him forward and rolls him up in a pin of her own.

Disco Ninja kicks out as the referee’s hand was coming down for the three.

Dawson: A couple of close pins by both stars.

 

Ninja and Maddy get up and Maddy kicks Ninja in the ribs before whipping her into the ropes, but Ninja spins through before spinning around Maddy and taking her up and over with a german suplex before bridging up and rolling through, and bridging back.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and Ninja rolls over and exits the ring. Ninja looks around as Maddy rolls over, holding her head in pain and glaring at Ninja. Ninja just turns and starts to make his way to the back as Madison just shakes her head. She then gets up.

 

Sharper: “And Disco Ninja wins their first singles match in SCW!”

 

Dawson: “Madison Steward nearly had him, but just that fast, Ninja snapped her over. That quickness is something that may take Ninja a long way in SCW!”

 

Disco Ninja just continues on his way to the back as Francis Evans enters the ring and stands over Madison Steward as we then go backstage.

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Chad Evans with the SCW World Tag Team Championship over his shoulder. He just smirks slightly as the large man that aided the Gospel at Retribution stands behind him. Katelyn can be seen walking behind them, skipping behind him with the World Tag Team Championship in her hands, almost dancing. The crowd boos upon seeing them as “Rescue Me” plays in the background.

 

Sharper: “And there you see the new World Tag Team Champions, Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler, the Gospel.”

 

Kayl: “And that man that helped them at Retribution is with them. He’s apparently going to be in action! Next!”

 

The camera focuses on the trio for a moment longer before we head to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

Stacy Kissinger vs. Gunner Wayne

 

“For Whom the Bell Tolls” plays throughout the arena and the crowd starts to boo as the lights dim and spotlights focus on the entrance way. A few moments pass and we see Chad Evans walk out from the back with Katelyn Buehler stepping in front of him, her thrusting the SCW World Tag Team Championship into the air as Chad Evans just holds it over his shoulder. He then starts to make his way to the ring as Gunner Wayne steps out behind him. He then continues to walk down to the ring as Chad Evans smirks. Katelyn Buehler skips down, obviously overjoyed before walking up the steel steps and walking along the apron. Chad follows and Katelyn holds the ropes open for him and Chad steps through. Wayne steps over the top rope and into the ring before walking around and Chad Evans just looks as the crowd. Katelyn grabs the microphone from Jason Phillips before turning to the crowd.

 

Kayl: “Ugh. We have to listen to her.”

 

Dawson: “Well...”

 

Katelyn: “WE TOLD YOU!”

 

The crowd boos as Katelyn just beams.

 

Katelyn: “We told you that we would be World Tag Team Champions. We told you that we’d be bringing home the gold. We told you that I WOULD BE A CHAMPION!”

 

Sharper: “Well....”

 

Kayl: “Well indeed.”

 

Katelyn goes to speak again before Chad Evans takes the microphone away from her. The crowd cheers a bit and Chad Evans just paces around the ring before turning back to the middle of the ring.

 

Chad: “You see what I am capable of Sasha. I wasn’t joking. I took her....yeah, the one unable of really showing much except her ass and brought her to the promised land, the top of the mountain and she and I now hold the SCW World Tag Team Championships. This is just how good I am. I can take someone like her and lead them to greatness. You get it now. Just think about it when Katelyn Buehler is one of the top wrestlers in SCW. I BROUGHT HER HERE.”

 

Chad pauses and smirks.

 

Chad: “But Sasha, we expect you to have a problem with it. You have a problem with everything I do. And so, I brought some extra help. God knows James and Ace couldn’t hold a candle to what we could do. And so I brought this man....Gunner Wayne....to help ensure that we are not only protected, but if you want to play games with us, we’re going to play, just we’re going to make sure we do more than just humiliate, like you tried to humiliate me. I am one of the greatest champions in SCW history. I AM GOD HIMSELF. And I have brought Katelyn Buehler to this level. Gunner Wayne....he will keep us here.”

 

Chad Evans turns to Gunner Wayne and looks right at him.

 

Chad: “You’re giving Stacy Kissinger a chance at revenge tonight....well....Gunner....show the world what you can do.”

 

Gunner Wayne just smiles before cracking his knuckles. Chad then brings the microphone down before going to exit the ring.  A guitar is heard playing a few notes before the voice of Miley Cyrus can be heard harmonizing for a very short bit before words come from her lips.

“Don't get me wrong,
I love who I am
I don't wanna be ungrateful
It probably sounds strange…”

As everyone hears Miley’s voice, the big screen shows a slide of Stacy Kissinger having her chin raised by Gable Winchester. Her deep brown eyes can be seen looking straight forward before she turns to him.

“I really love the role I play
The songs I sing
But with all the fame”

The big screen switches to a shot of Stacy making her way down to the wrestling ring, waving at the fans in attendance, smiling as she goes.

“The things that seem so simple,
suddenly, so far out of reach
Wish that they could see that underneath...
I'm just an ordinary girl!”

As the chorus is imminent, the slide on the big screen fades and a firework is shown bursting on the tron as two blasts of white pyro, one on each side of the stage goes off as Stacy Kissinger comes from out of the backstage area, dressed in a white skirt, white shoes and a black spaghetti-strap top that features a colorful bursting firework on the front. The crowd cheers as Stacy stops on the stage, looking around at her surroundings as the music continues. Gable Winchester stands behind her.

“Sometimes I'm lazy
I get bored
I get scared
I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly
I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have Dreams
And I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world,
For an ordinary girl
(Like you, Like me)
For an ordinary girl
(Like you, Like me)”

Stacy looks at the ring before she makes her way down the wrestler ramp, doing her best to enjoy the moment. Meanwhile clips of Stacy being electric in the wrestling ring are shown on the SCW tron, ending with a few clips of her downing a few opponents with the American Kiss.

Once Stacy’s down at the ring she slides in as the crowd shows a lot of appreciation towards her, knowing that she’s about to compete for all of them. Stacy climbs one of the turnbuckles and again acknowledges the crowd as “Ordinary Girl” continues to play on the sound system as Gable Winchester watches from ringside. She goes to take a deep breath, but Gunner Wayne walks over and grabs Stacy Kissinger and throws her off the top rope and hard onto the back. She rolls over as the crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “And Gunner Wayne going right after Kissinger in her entrance here.”

 

Kayl: “Are we shocked? When have anyone involved with Chad Evans done things on the up and up. Hell. I’m surprised Kissinger got to that side of the ring in one piece!”

 

Kissinger starts to get up and Wayne just boots her in the side of the head and she stumbles over and goes to the ropes. She starts to pull herself up and Wayne walks over and clubs her in the back. She turns back to Wayne and Wayne nails her with a hard right before grabbing her and just throwing her across the ring. Stacy rolls over and starts to get up. Gable cheers her on as Katelyn just smiles. Gunner Wayne then walks over and grabs Stacy and nails her with a headbutt, causing her to fall to the mat. The crowd just boos as Wayne towers over her.

 

Sharper: “And Gunner Wayne, this large specimen of a man, is just methodically taking apart Stacy Kissinger.”

 

Dawson: “Where did Chad Evans find this man? Where did he come from?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but right now, he’s taking out Stacy Kissinger in the middle of this ring and Gable Winchester just has to watch!”

 

Stacy starts to get up and Gunner grabs her and lifts her up. He then scoops her up and slams her down hard. Gunner then turns and runs into the ropes. He jumps up and attempts an elbow drop, but Kissinger rolls out of the way. The crowd cheers and Gunner rolls over and starts to get up before Stacy dropkicks Gunner in the jaw. Gunner stumbles back. Kissinger dropkicks him again and Gunner stumbles back some more. She then grabs him and goes to whip him across the ring, but Gunner spins through and sends Kissinger in. Kissinger bounces off the ropes and jumps up and hits Gunner with a flying clothesline and Gunner finally goes off his feet. He rolls over and starts to get up. Kissinger gets up and dropkicks him in the side of the head. Katelyn yells at Kissinger as Kissinger gets up and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Gunner Wayne powers out and Kissinger rolls over and starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Oh man! What strength.”

 

Kayl: “Just launched. Well, Kissinger has something new for Winchester to try when they’re at home together.”

 

Kissinger goes back to the ropes and Katelyn reaches in and grabs the leg of Kissinger. Kissinger turns and kicks at the ropes and Katelyn falls back. Kissinger snaps at Kissinger as Gable just starts to go over before stopping and Kissinger turns back to Wayne and Wayne hoists her up into the air with a military press before just throwing her down hard. The crowd ohs and Kissinger winces, holding the small of her back in pain. Wayne then walks over and grabs Kissinger before lifting her up and turning and whipping her hard into the corner. Kissinger hits hard and falls to her knees. Wayne just smirks before he walks over and grabs Kissinger and pulls her up. He then looks at her before going to lift her up, but Kissinger spins out. She then rears back and nails Wayne with a jumping superkick, knocking Wayne into the corner. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Great move! Shades of CHBK with that superkick!”

 

Kayl: “How about mentioning someone worth mentioning! How about shades of me! ME!”

 

Sharper: “Alright...”

 

Dawson: “Wayne back in the corner. He’s dazed and Kissinger jumping up and dropkicking him in the jaw!”

 

Kissinger does just that and dropkicks him in the jaw. He then stumbles forward and falls to his knees. He then starts to crawl forward and Kissinger turns and walks over to the corner. She then pulls herself up onto  the middle turnbuckle before jumping forward and driving her knee into the back of Wayne’s head. Wayne rolls over and Kissinger goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Wayne gets his shoulder up. He then rolls over and Kissinger grabs him. She goes for the American Kiss, but Wayne pushes him off. The crowd ohs. Wayne then runs forward and attempts a clothesline, but Kissinger ducks and Kissinger runs forward and into the ropes. She then jumps up and manages to flip over the head of Wayne and hit a variation of a swinging neckbreaker! The crowd cheers. Kissinger then rolls over and goes to the corner. She exits to the apron and then starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd starts to cheer. Chad Evans however hops onto the apron and grabs Kissinger by the leg and pushes her off, causing her to fall forward and throat first into the top rope. The crowd boos and Chad enters as the crowd boos. Katelyn slides in too and Kissinger gets back up only for Chad to run over and clothesline her down. The referee calls for the bell.

 

Sharper: “And Chad Evans coming in! Kissinger was going to the top rope and Chad Evans stops her!”

 

Dawson: “She may have been looking at the High Note and instead this match ends on a low one. And Chad Evans isn’t done!”

 

Sharper: “But here comes Gable!”

 

Gable slides and runs at Chad and nails him with a hard right and then another before nailing him with a shot the jaw, knocking him down. Katelyn goes to grab Gable, but Gable pushes her off. Chad starts to get up and Gable goes after him as the crowd roars. Gable nails him with a couple of shots before Gunner Wayne manages to grab him by the throat. He pulls him off before turning and just throwing him right up and over the top rope and to the floor. The crowd starts to boo as Kissinger starts to get up and Katelyn Buehler then runs over and boots her in the face with a running kick.

 

Sharper: “Oh! A kick to the jaw.”

 

Kayl: “And that’s a reason you don’t allow her near small children. She’ll boot them in the jaw! That and she’s a horrible person.”

 

Sharper: “What?”

 

Chad gets back up, holding his jaw. Katelyn just looks at Kissinger as she starts to get up and Chad turns to Katelyn and tells her to finish her. Kissinger stirs and Katelyn smiles before running over and hitting the Cartwheel Bomb on Kissinger. The crowd boos and Kissinger just is laid out in the ring. Chad then gets up and turns to Gunner. Gunner smirks as Gunner then starts to walk over. The crowd starts to boo and he grabs Kissinger by the head and starts to lift her up. As he does, Gable Winchester goes to the timekeeper’s table and grabs a steel chair. He folds it up before going back to the ring and rolling in. Katelyn points him out and Chad quickly bails. Katelyn manages to as well and Gunner turns and Gable nails Gunner with a hard shot to the ribs. Gunner stumbles back and drops to the mat before rolling to the floor. He then backs up and looks at Gable as Gable stands in the ring as Kissinger slowly pulls herself up.

 

Dawson: “Gable Winchester with the save as he brings in the chair and gets the Gospel out of there quickly!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. I don’t know what Gunner Wayne was thinking, but it couldn’t be good!”

 

The crowd continues to roars as Gable Winchester stands in the ring and looks at them. Kissinger gets up as Katelyn Buehler just holds her title, taunting Gable. Chad Evans starts to walk to the back as Gunner Wayne stands between both and the ring. The crowd continues to roar as before we head backstage.

The scene opens up backstage and we see Greg Cherry standing next to Jessica Winters in front of one of the hallway walls backstage. Greg just looks down as Jessica turns to the camera.

 

Jessica: “I am here with Greg Cherry and earlier tonight, we heard the news that you would be challenging for the World Championship at Riding the Lightning. And should you win, you’d have to defend that title, along with your US Championship against Shilo Valiant on the second night. What’s going through your mind? This is what you’ve been looking forward to.”

 

Greg just smiles and looks up.

 

Greg: “It’s hard to believe that in just about a month’s time, this whole ordeal that I’ve put myself into at Gang Rulz will finish. Sorry, David. But you’re going to have to put me down for good in order to walk away champion. I mean, I know what I did was stupid, but I have a way to fix it. I have a way to finally make it all better and all I have to do is win the World Championship.”

 

Greg pauses for a moment.

 

Greg: “Now, I’ve heard the rumblings and probably people are looking at my 2010 or 2009, since 2007 when I last held the World Championship and they’re all probably going to say the same thing. They’re going to say that I’m going to choke again. Well, that’s fine. Let them doubt. They were the same people that didn’t think I’d be standing here the United States Champion right now. And if people are going to ask what is different between now and Gang Rulz. Well....sure, it was the same matter, but now I know what I lost and it drives me every day. It eats away at me and all I want is to be World Champion not for the glory or the money, but so I can see my son and wife in my arms again. And if people want to doubt that, well, look at your family and ask what you would do to keep them with you forever. Anyone who’s lost a loved one will know, but I have a chance to bring them back....and I’m NOT going to ruin this opportunity.”

 

The crowd cheers as Greg turns back to Jessica Winters. Jessica turns to him.

 

Jessica: “And Shilo?”

 

Greg looks down and smirks.

 

Greg: “He wants round two. I’ll see him on Night Two.”

 

Greg turns back to Jessica Winters and Winters turns back to the camera.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Greg. I wish you all the luck at Riding the Lightning.”

 

Greg nods and walks off as “Rescue Me” starts to play in the background before the still of Dark Fantasy versus Midnight Boulevard comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “So much still to come tonight including Midnight Boulevard taking on Dark Fantasy! What’s going to happen tonight? Don’t go anywhere!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as “Rescue Me” plays in the background and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown and we have a huge bit of news here. We’ve had already a very busy night from the office of our owner and we now have a huge main event for the next edition of Breakdown!”

 

Dawson: “Yeah, after what we just saw between the World Tag Team Champions and Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger...”

 

A still then comes up on the screen showing The Gospel, Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler, versus Kiss-Chester, Stacy Kissinger and Gable Winchester, for the SCW World Tag Team Championship.

 

Dawson: “...Kissinger and Winchester will get their rematch for the World Tag Team Championship on the next edition of Breakdown in two weeks time.”

 

Kayl: “Talk about getting a chance to make good and get the title off of Katelyn Buehler and Chad Evans!”

 

Sharper: “Obviously the owner hearing the comments of Chad Evans earlier tonight!”

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system. Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen.

Plush ruby red carpet is rolled down the aisle way just as Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtains. Miss Steward is all decked out wearing her long white coat and a stunning diamond studded tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair curls. Katie produces her famous smiles for the live audience, and the more they applause and encourages her, she postures for them. Multiple flash bulbs can be seen as the cameras snatch as many and every pose she graces them with. Gigi Steward, Paris Dannon and Robin Brooks are seen with her.

They start to walk down the ramp to ringside. TJ Johnson exits from behind the curtain and follows his Goddess. Once she reaches ringside, Katie folds her arms over chest and looks back over her shoulder at TJ Johnson waiting for him to do his job. Gigi, Robin and Paris stand behind Katie. When Johnson sees that “look”, he immediately runs past her and enters into the ring. He signals for the microphone from the ring announcer and when he hesitates, T.J. snatches it from his hand.


Next T.J. excitedly waves everyone out of the ring. All the while Katie was fixing her hair at ringside ignoring what T.J. was doing. She walks over to the steel ring step and awaits her introduction.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
They call me stuck up, but I'm not at all
Never mind, I am (I am)
It's not my fault I'm the shit
Yeah I am
And I'm a bad ass bitch (hey!)

The camera’s view returns to Katie Steward as she stands at ringside fixing her coat. She looks up spreads her arms out wide and smiles the Famous smile for her glorious introduction as some of the fans have already begun to boo her and show how much they dislike and disrespect for her.

TJ Johnson: And finally, the reason why we have all come here tonight… She is STILL The Queen of Queens, The Goddess of Desire, The SCW’s own Crown Jewel. Get your cameras and video recorders ready for… KATIE STEWARD….

Katie gracefully walks up the steel ring steps and onto the apron. She bends down enters the rings between the middle ropes that T.J. holds down for her. TJ then holds the ropes for Gigi before getting off the ropes. Robin and Paris look to each other before they enter. Katie walks over to the opposite corner and climbs onto the ropes. She takes off her lovely coat revealing her beautiful wrestling attire. Many in the crowd start to take snap shots of their Goddess. Katie jumps down and walks to the other corner to pose and climbs up on the middle ropes just as the lighting returns to normal and the music dies. Katie does one last pose for the fans then she jumps down and walks towards T.J.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the flyest of them all
It's me, bow down get on your knees
Where's my queens?
Who reigns supreme?
Let me hear you scream
Whooo!

TJ Johnson smiles down at Katie, before bowing slightly. He then takes the microphone from Jason Phillips.

 

Kayl: “All hail the queen, I guess. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.”

 

Katie looks around as TJ Johnson walks over to her and holds the microphone in front of her mouth. The crowd starts to boo as Katie looks around and just smiles.

 

Katie: “Thank you! Thank you for that reaction. YOUR Queen is here. Get on your knees and pay your homage to the Royal Family!”

 

The crowd boos as Katie Steward just smiles.

 

Katie: “I managed to turn away the horrible attempts of Marina Trent at ending my reign as YOUR queen at Retribution. How horrible it would have been if Marina Trent was the True Queen. Hardly. What royal commendations does she have? She is hardly capable of holding up to the standard that I have set and I proved it by putting her down in the ring and not only beating her twice in one night, but making it clear I am the Queen of Queens and above every female in the SCW Women’s division!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Kayl: “Nevermind that Katie Steward used a chair and cheated her way to those two falls.”

 

Sharper: “She hit the Off With Her Head to start the match. All this you can see by ordering the replays of Retribution, playing on pay per view throughout the next month.”

 

Katie: “But it seems that  not only have I retained my kingdom and saved it from her efforts, I have gained something else. I have gained the right to challenge the SCW Women’s Champion at Riding the Lightning.”

 

Dawson: “This is true.”

 

The crowd boos further.

 

Katie: “And I have thought about it. How wonderful it would be to lead the SCW Women’s division further, this time without the horrid ladder matches and three way matches that just create opportunities for people like Syren to actually get her disgusting hands on the title I have helped create. I could be a seven time champion....Unfortunately, the return of the Goddess title would not be possible. That damn Charlie Sheen has ruined that turn. Ruined it. His goddesses. Please. I have more class and heavenly qualities than all of them!”

 

The crowd starts to chant “Katie sucks!”

 

Katie: “You know it is true. But with that in mind, I’m unsure I am the right person to dethrone Syren and take the Women’s Championship from her grasp. Thinking about it more I realized that my record setting sixth reign came after someone was able to offer me their opportunity when they couldn’t due to their bones being brittle and falling apart due to just inferior DNA.”

 

Robin glares at Katie. Katie turns to Robin.

 

Katie: “I’m grateful for that Robin. But with that said, I would maybe be wasting that opportunity by passing in on to you for you giving me the shot. You’re a good wrestler. You were a great one. But let’s face it...you’re not a Steward. And we are just superior to all!”

 

Kayl: “There’s only one Steward. Gigi’s adopted!”

 

Dawson: “Either that or Katie was about three when she was born.”

 

Kayl: “Well Katie has been known to hang out with Katelyn Buehler in the past!”

 

The crowd boos when Katie then turns and just then we hear “Groupie” by Cassie Steele play throughout the arena. The crowd cheers a bit before we see Syren walk out from the back. She has a microphone in her hand and she just looks down at the ring. Her music starts to fade out.

 

Syren: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Katie. Hold it there. I hear you coming out here and talking about passing along your title shot and while I could understand you returning the favour to Robin Brooks, I’m not thinking you’re going to do that. I mean, hello, you have a shot at the Women’s Championship and you’re too egotistical to make sure you can’t control how to get it back. Well, how about this, if I’m so disgusting, why don’t YOU get into the ring with ME at Riding the Lightning because I think you and I have some unfinished business. I think you and I still haven’t had that war to really find out who is BETTER!”

 

The crowd cheers and Katie just giggles to herself.

 

Katie: “Oh Syren. You assume you’re even in the debate of who is the best diva around here. That is totally me and yes, you should be jealous. You just pale in comparison to me in every way.”

 

Syren: “Even when I beat you at Body, Heart and Soul in the ladder match. One on one, we’ve had some fights, but never on the big stage and never with THIS on the line.”

 

Syren holds the Women’s Championship over her head as the crowd cheers.

 

Katie: “Syren. You wish you could be in my league. But my time to save the Women’s division and return it to the levels that my greatness brought it to are over. My fun was just that, fun, in January, but I think it may be time for another Steward to finally retake HER throne. The Princess of SCW, MY apprentice, Gigi!”

 

The crowd boos as Gigi just smiles and looks at Syren. Syren just looks at the ring unhappy.

 

Syren: “Do you think Sasha is going to let you do that? Just hand your shot off to someone who while at one point may have been a great champion, but now is struggling to get out of YOUR shadow.”

 

Katie: “What shadow. It’s perfect. And Sasha will appreciate the opportunity I am giving her. So Syren, just be happy that you hold the gold now because a Steward will be holding the Women’s Championship again....and by MY royal powers, I will MAKE SURE it happens.”

 

The crowd roars as Katie just looks at Syren smiling as TJ Johnson then taps Katie on the shoulder as we see Marina Trent hop the guardrail before grabbing a steel chair from the timekeeper’s table. She folds it up before rolling into the ring and holding it up. Gigi, Robin and Paris bail. TJ Johnson is pushed forward towards her and Marina nails him in the face with the chair. The crowd cheers as Katie then exits the ring. Syren just laughs at the top of the stage. Katie backs up as Marina stands in the middle of the ring with the chair. The camera gets a shot of her.

 

Marina: “You think we’re done?! Let’s see what I can do with a chair now, huh?!”

 

Katie just looks up at Marina as Gigi turns and looks at Syren. Marina just stands in the ring as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Marina Trent using a chair to chase Katie Steward off. Sending a bit of a message.”

 

Kayl: “And she says she’s not done. I don’t think Katie Steward wants any of her though!”

 

Dawson: “Doesn’t seem to want anything to do with the Women’s division!”

 

Syren just continues to look at them as Katie looks around. The crowd continues to cheer as Marina Trent’s music plays throughout the arena. She remains in the ring and even starts to dare Katie Steward to come into the ring. The scene continues for a few more moments before we go backstage.

The scene opens up backstage to see Chad Evans just shaking his head as he looks at Gunner Wayne and then Katelyn Buehler. Buehler just smiles.

 

Buehler: “Yes! We get to humiliate Kissinger and Winchester again. Oh this is going to be great.”

 

Chad: “Yeah, really. I got to carry your ass against them again. And we don’t have the nice bit of surprise with Gunner.”

 

Wayne: “Either way, just tell me what you need and I’ll make sure the belts stay here.”

 

Chad: “Yeah, at least I know we can get some success here with you and me.”

 

Buehler: “Ahem!”

 

Chad: “Sure...we’ll count you too.”

 

James: “What the hell man?”

 

James pipes up from the back as Ace Marshall can be seen standing behind him, smirking.

 

James: “Ace and I are here and you’re talking about not having success. I mean, who brought the first titles into our group. That’s right.”

 

Chad: “Who was the first to lose it too? And either way, I helped you get that too. I need to carry you all. I need to lead you all to greatness. On your own...”

 

James: “Screw you.”

 

Ace: “Well then carry us. Come on. Lead us to the promised land, or are you having fun renting out the space for Katelyn.”

 

Buehler: “I am not a slut...anymore! I am a virgin! Chad made me so.”

 

James and Ace start to burst out into laughter.

 

Buehler: “Hey!”

 

Chad: “Yeah, let’s not get into it. Either me, be ready for later. We have to make another point.”

 

James: “Ready to get it on.”

 

Chad: “Ah....you can stay here. Don’t need you effing it up. Loser...”

 

James just glares at Chad as Ace then turns and looks at him.

 

Ace: “You can just watch me kick some great new guy in SCW’s ass...and ASP...because well...that’s fun!”

 

James: “Screw you.”

 

James just shakes his head as he looks less than pleased before the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage and we see Ducky pouting as she looks at Hallucigen and the SCW Underground Championship and the two can be seen in the hallway just a few feet away from the tunnel to the ring.

 

Ducky: “I should have one of those. I want my own shiny belt! Wally! Why don’t I have my own shiny belt!”

 

Anthony Wallace just sighs a bit and looks at Ducky.

 

Wallace: “Because Syren managed to beat you, doll.”

 

Ducky: “Oh....well, I want one. I can see myself in it and be all shiny! OH MY GOD! Can we play with tin foil! I want to make myself all shiny and run around like a robot! You think it could give me super robot powers.”

 

Hallucigen: “Now that’s just insane. You can’t get super robot powers from tin foil. First off, it’s aluminum foils. And secondly, you get super robot powers by getting circuits and oil put into you.”

 

Ducky: “Oh.....WALLY! Can I get circuits and oil into me? Look! I could be a robot!”

 

Ducky starts doing a really frantic version of the robot. Wallace just shakes his head, chuckling a bit.

 

Wallace: “Please don’t get her ideas.”

 

Hallucigen: “Hardly ideas. They are musings! Brilliant musings! Musing inspired by Dillusion, our lord and master!”

 

Wallace: “Yeah....well....speaking of him. We’re supposed to be looking out for Saber. So probably we should get serious and make sure we’re ready.”

 

Hallucigen: “Oh yes.”

 

Ducky then salutes and brings her feet together.

 

Ducky: “Otay! Yessiree Bob! Who’s Bob?”

 

Wallace just sighs again and pats Ducky on the head as we head to ringside.

Jason Zero vs. Dillusion

 

The lights dim and a hush comes over the audience. The big screen suddenly goes static and this static starts to form a shape that all the audience recognizes. The audience boo as they recognize the face of Jason Zero. The face smiles before saying.

The Kingdom Of Old Is Dead.
The Order Has Fallen.
Now Is The Rise Of A New Kingdom
Of Chaos

The familiar electric guitar starts playing Crush 40’s “Knight of the Wind” while some fan of the proclaimed Crusader of Chaos holds up their lighters as a trap door opens from the stage ramp.

Wooaaah, Woooooah

Slowly, a large glass orb and two metal towers rise. We can see the silhouette of a man kneeling in that orb. As the lyrics start, he slowly rises out stretching his arms at a 45 degree angle.

Hey all (Hey all)
Welcome to the greatest storm.
I know, I know.
You have waited much too long
And I (And I)
I will be your shining star.
I’m here (I’m here)
You Better conquer fear or run!

Suddenly the two metal towers spring to life shooting bright purple and pink electricity at the orb. The man inside does not shy from this and within a few seconds the orb implodes, collapsing all around, leaving the man inside standing, exposed. Standing there is Jason Zero, his head to the sky, his eyes closed.

Like a sword, I'm brought
Into the heat of the day
Like a knight, I'll fight
Until the fight is won

In the reign, I save
Each and every
Each and every
Each and everyone
'Till this war is won

Zero looks around as the crowd boos. He gives a grin before running down the ramp and then he slides inside it. He hops to the turnbuckle, reaching out with his arms and looking to the heavens before removing his jacket.

And I'm meant to rule
By the sword
Slashing through the every inch of the power
The power in you

As I sit
As I stand
By chaos will I command
My kingdom

I'm a knight of the wind

The crowd boos as he then drops down and the music fades out. He then turns and stops the referee before going over to Jason Phillips and asking for a microphone. The crowd boos for him as Zero takes the microphone and pushes him back. He then turns and walks over towards the middle of the ring.

 

Sharper: “Zero has a microphone. Maybe we’ll get our answers.”

 

Kayl: “Oh this better be good.”

 

Zero smirks as the crowd boos. He just looks around.

 

Zero: “Are you not all impressed with what I pulled at Retribution? I told you that your Anti-Hero would make the impact that all have awaited. No, Sasha, it had nothing to do with the precious Board of Directors. It had nothing to do with Bastion. But everything to do with me.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Zero: “I have sat on the sidelines and watched the so-called games with Alex Desoubrais. Watched him play them and watched as how Thorn and his allies have been helpless to even come close to what he is capable of. And after watching on the sidelines, I knew....I knew that at Retribution I needed to tell Thorn right out that he was not ready to destroy CHBK. He didn’t grab his opportunities and take them. He just coasted. He was outmatched every step of the way and at Retribution, well....I knew Thorn would be outmatched again. I saved him the embarrassment. Instead, I ended his misery....”

 

Zero snaps his fingers.

 

Zero: “Just like that.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Zero: “See, Thorn, Sasha....even you Donovan....and Alex Desoubrais Jr....all of you need to realize that there is only one man that can truly end CHBK. It’s not due to its difficulty or even the skill, but entirely due to destiny. That man will be me. And the sooner the rest of you realize it....the sooner you can then agree to the fate that has been set upon you all. That I AM....the greatest wrestler to have ever graced SCW....and I am not just your anti-hero....but I AM your hero. I have destroyed them all....and I will again.”

 

The crowd boos as Zero just brings the microphone down to his side. The screen suddenly goes to static and then there is a blast of pyro that falls from seemingly the sky onto the entrance way with a giant crashing noise. “Crazy Train” by My Bloody Valentine begins to pump through the arena speakers.

 

Sharper: “He put Thorn out of his misery....”

 

Kayl: “Someone has been sniffing the glue.”

 

Sharper: “His longevity hasn’t been matched by many except CHBK. He’s saying he’s going to be the one to take out CHBK for good. But for what reason?”

 

Dawson: “I don’t know. But Zero has never been on to just spit it out. He likes to play his own games. But needless to say, I think one thing was clear. He didn’t think Thorn could get it done at Retribution and didn’t care for the path he took to face CHBK. I beg to differ about Thorn’s chances, but that’s all moot thanks to Zero!”

 

The camera moves into the entrance way where there is a large mass of fire. The fire grows several feet high on the big screen it shows a figure kneeling in the center of the flames. The figure slowly rises and looks directly at the camera as it slowly zooms in. This reveals Dillusion eyeing the camera with a sadistic look, stepping forward through the flames, licking his lips.

He then moves down the entrance way looking through the audience walking at a slow methodical pace. He laughs a little and then rolls under the middle rope. He kneels in the center of the ring he snaps at the direction of the audience and then leaps up to his feet rushing to the other side of the ring, leaping up onto the middle rope and making a gun sign and pointing out to the audience. Just then Zero pulls him down off the middle rope and to his feet before jumping up and kicking Dillusion in the back of the head with an enziguri-like kick. Dillusion falls forward and Dillusion’s entrance music fades off. Zero then turns and clubs him in the back and then drives him face first into the top turnbuckle. Dillusion stumbles back and falls to a knee.

 

Sharper: “Zero going right after Dillusion. These two have had their own share of wars in the past.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah, over the United States Championship.”

 

Kayl: “The ten-thousand thumb-tacks match. Back when Dillusion thought there was a conspiracy against him.”

 

Zero turns around and clubs him in the back. Dillusion stumbles forward and into the ropes. Zero then grabs him and whips him across the ring. Dillusion bounces off the ropes and Zero jumps up and hits a dropkick. He then follows up with a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Dillusion kicks out. He starts to get up and Zero grabs him and knees him in the ribs. He then throws him over with a snap suplex. Zero then turns and walks over to the corner. The crowd boos and Zero just smirks before pulling himself up onto the middle rope and then standing up before diving forward and driving his forearm into the jaw of Dillusion. He then follows up with another pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Dillusion kicks out again. He rolls over and Zero grabs him and lifts him up with a side headlock. He pulls back on the bridge of the nose and Dillusion yells before Zero rakes his eyes. Dillusion walks forward and Zero walks after him before Dillusion elbows him in the ribs. He then elbows him again before turning and chopping Zero in the chest. The crowd woos. Zero fires back with a chop of his own before kicking him in the ribs. He then turns and whips him into the corner.

 

Dawson: “Small comeback attempt by Dillusion, quashed by the former seven time World Champion.”

 

Kayl: “That’s the thing with Zero. He knows when to just cut you off. Add that he probably doesn’t care about the rules. Dillusion doesn’t, but Dillusion’s head doesn’t work right half the time. Zero’s always works overtime.”

 

Zero turns and runs after Dillusion, but Dillusion gets his boot up. Zero staggers back and Dillusion runs over and clotheslines him down. Zero rolls over and gets up and Dillusion kicks him in the ribs before jumping up and knee dropping Zero in the back of the head, forcing him down to the mat. He rolls onto his back and Dillusion gets up and hits a leg drop. He then goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Zero kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up as Dillusion grabs him and headbutts him in the back of the head. Zero falls to his hands and knees and Dillusion jumps up and headbutts him again. He gets up and Dillusion runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and jumps up for another headbutt, but Zero rolls out of the way. Dillusion shakes his head as he starts to get up and Zero turns and kicks him in the ribs. He then hooks his leg and attempts a fisherman’s suplex before bridging up and going for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Dillusion kicks out, getting some cheers from the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Fisherman’s suplex. A move Zero has put many away with. But not enough to keep Dillusion down.”

 

Dawson: “But then again, Dillusion just drove his own head into the mat and kept getting up. He doesn’t really care. Pain is pleasure for him.”

 

Kayl: “Imagine being in the ring with someone like that. It’s messed.”

 

Zero turns and grabs Dillusion lifting him up. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Dillusion bounces off the ropes and Zero back drops him over. Dillusion starts to get back up before Zero turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and Dillusion suddenly turns and grabs Zero before snapping him over with an exploder suplex into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Zero kicks out. The crowd ohs and both men get up. Dillusion then blocks a hard right by Zero and then blocks a hard left, trapping both arms. He then headbutts Zero in the face. He headbutts him again and then again before lifting him up and throwing him overhead. Zero rolls over and starts to get up. Dillusion then gets up before lifting him up onto his shoulders, but Zero manages to elbow Dillusion in the side of the head. He then lands behind him before lifting him up and throwing him back with a back suplex. Dillusion winces as Zero starts to get up. The boos come from all over.

 

Sharper: “Zero takes Dillusion down again, cutting off any hope for momentum.”

 

Dawson: “And that’s why he’s so dangerous. He can cut you off at any point and has a wide variety of moves to do it.”

 

Dillusion starts to get up and Zero nails him with a back chop to the jaw and then a kick to the ribs. Zero smirks as the crowd boos before going to whip him across the ring, but Dillusion spins through and pulls Zero in and Dillusion clotheslines him down. Zero starts to get up and Dillusion kicks him in the ribs. He then pulls him into a clothesline again. Zero pops back up and Dillusion drop toe holds him down. He then gets up and runs into the ropes before hitting a dropkick to the side of Zero’s head. The crowd ohs. Dillusion rolls him over for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Zero gets his shoulder up. Dillusion looks down. He then grabs him and lifts him back up before scooping him up and walking over to the corner and setting him up with the tree of woe. Zero looks around as the crowd cheers. Dillusion knees him in the ribs before backing up and walking to the middle of the ring. He then runs at Zero and goes for a dropkick to the head, but Zero lifts himself up and Dillusion slides into the ringpost. The crowd boos and Zero starts to pull himself up. He starts to stand up on the middle rope before getting to the top. Dillusion crawls out of the corner before starting to get up and Zero glances back before diving back and hitting a spinning dropkick to Dillusion’s head, knocking him down.

 

Dawson: “What a dropkick! Zero turned in the air and drilled Dillusion in the side of the head.”

 

Sharper: “These two going back and forth here. No one really getting much momentum. We know there is no love lost between the two from all those battles years ago.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Zero pulling something like that to keep Dillusion down.”

 

Dillusion starts to get up and Zero grabs him. He then hoists him up before spinning him around and kicking him in the ribs. He hoists him up before Dillusion lands behind him. Dillusion then pushes him forward and Zero stops at the ropes. Dillusion then runs after him and clotheslines him up and over the top rope and to the floor. Dillusion falls to his knees as Zero falls to the floor. Dillusion then starts to get up and walks back as the referee checks on him. Dillusion then grabs the referee as he falls back to his knees and we then see Thorn run out from the back. Zero starts to get up and Thorn drills him with a vicious diving forearm. The crowd explodes in cheers and Thorn then backs up. Zero starts to get up and Thorn jumps up and quickly drops him with the Griever’s Bane on the floor. The crowd cheers and Thorn then backs up and starts to back towards the backstage area. The referee turns and sees Zero down as Dillusion gets up.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

The crowd roars as Zero remains down at five. (5)

 

Sharper: “Thorn coming out and getting some revenge for Retribution! Zero hasn’t moved since being planted with the Griever’s Bane!”

 

Dawson: “And Dillusion is just watching.”

 

Kayl: “Smart move!”

 

6!

 

7!

 

8!

 

Zero stirs a bit and rolls over as Thorn turns back from the top of the entrance way.

 

9!

 

Zero looks at Thorn as the referee hits ten and counts out Jason Zero.

 

10!

 

The crowd cheers and Dillusion’s music plays throughout the arena. Zero just smirks a bit as he holds his jaw and neck as Thorn then backs up and leaves through the curtains.

 

Sharper: “And Dillusion gets the win.”

 

Kayl: “He better send a hell of a gift to Thorn for that one. Handed it to him.”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure he didn’t want it that way, but he got it and he’s not going to disagree!”

 

Zero remains down and looking the curtain as Dillusion just continues to take the win. Zero slowly stirs as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens backstage in the Infamous locker room to see Syren just pacing back and forth, displeased.

 

Syren: “What the hell was that? I wanted to face Katie Steward. I wanted to get my chance to finally have that huge match against her.”

 

Lucas: “Well....she I guess doesn’t feel the same.”

 

Syren: “I’m the Women’s Champion, practically screaming to face her and she doesn’t want it. Gigi again...”

 

Lucas: “You haven’t faced her in a year...”

 

Ravyn: “Just remember Syren, this is SCW. How long have we waited for our proper rematch for the World Tag Team Championship? How badly do I want that?”

 

Ravyn looks over to CHBK as CHBK just looks at her, almost recalling the speech from the last Breakdown.

 

Syren: “Yeah....yeah...I know.....It just sucks.”

 

Lucas: “Maybe you just need to team with me. I just lead us to wins, baby!”

 

Syren playfully hits Lucas before Ravyn just shakes her head and turns around before the door to the locker room opens. We then see Christy Matthews walk in, very low-key. Ebdon is with her, seemingly having gone to help her find the locker room. Everyone gets quiet and just look around as Christy walks towards the back of the room, dropping her gear as we head back to the ring.

Warren James vs. Alex Desoubrais Jr.

 

“Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me” plays throughout the arena as the lights strobe around the entrance way while Alex Desoubrais Jr walks out with Rachel Foxx alongside him. He admires the crowd before stopping and posing at the top of the entrance way. The crowd boos and Desoubrais Jr. makes his way down to the ring along with Foxx who stops to talk trash to a couple of fans  as Alex walks over to the steel steps. He walks up them and looks into the ring. He enters the ring before spinning around and looking to the crowd behind him with his arms outstretched, getting furious boos from the crowd now as The Suicide Queen walks around ringside and stands in his corner. He then slides off his coat and looks around before placing the coat on the outside. He then leans back into his corner as Rachel talks to him.

Sharper: "You can only imagine what is going through his mind right about now, we already saw him get involved in Rachels match against Lucas Knight earlier tonight and now he has to focus on the Adrenaline Champion Warren James."

Dawson: "That's correct, he was obviously not happy with the result at Retribution when Lucas scored that pin after the vicious low blow. Now though you have to wonder where his head must be at, you don't attack Lucas Knight and get to forget about that as we know only too well."

Kayl: "With Rachel at ringside I think Lucas would be wise NOT to come down to this ring if he knows what 's good for him, unfortunately he usually doesn't."

Sharper: "Which makes him all the more unpredictable."

"Sober" By Tool hits and the video screen comes to life with what appears to be Warren James, ridding a Harley down a lonely stretch of road. A side view of Warren James with no shirt on is then shown. The word bionic flashes across the screen before switching to Warren nailing a wrestling with his Bionic Showdown finisher. The Words "The Real" flash on the screen next and then Warren is shown charging into the corner, nailing an opponent with No More Chances. The scene switches to Warren adjusting his jacket before the words "6 Million" flash on the screen and the scene switches to Warren working out on a heavy bag, landing punches and kisses. The view now shows Warren walking to the ring in an arena and the word "Man" flashing on the screen before showing a close up of Warren staring a hole through you with his eyes. Jayde Blanchard steps from the back followed by Warren. The two waste no time in walking toward the ring as Warren stays totally focused. His eyes stay trained on the ring as Jayde climbs up on the ring apron and steps inside. Warren leaps up on the ring apron and stands looking out at the crowd before finally stepping in between the ropes and into the ring. Warren gets face to face with the referee staring at him before turning his attention to Jayde. Jayde gets right in Warren's face and tells him something before stepping out of the ring as Warren rubs his hands together and gets ready for the match.

Sharper: "Warren James has been on one hell of a streak as of late, and that culminated at Retribution where he became Adrenaline Champion in impressive fashion."

Dawson: "An amazing match between two up and coming superstars, you could go on record and say future World Champions"

Kayl: "Couldn't agree more, and now he gets to test his mettle against Alex Junior who is just seething to get this thing started it seems!"

Junior  is just staring at the Adrenaline champion as James hands Jayde the Adrenaline title. The bell sounds and these two kick things off with a grapple only for Alex junior to get the upper hand early on  and apply a side headlock. James however pushes Alex back to the ropes and throws him off to the other side, with Junior on the return he ducks the clothesline attempt by James  who spins around and is taken down with a spinning wheel kick. The Adrenaline Champion gets up quickly and is now taken down with a clothesline. Junior drops with a cover but doesn't ever score a one count as James pushes off and gets back to his feet.

Sharper: "Alex Junior on the offensive early on here, I don't think James expected this at all!"

Kayl: "Al Ju is going to try and make his mark here tonight by beating our Adrenaline Champion."

Dawson: "It's early days yet."

Both men are on their feet, James feeling his jaw as they both circle. Alex motionsfor James to come at him which he does, the two tying up once again this time James being quicker than Alex and drives a stiff knee to the gut before raising him up and hitting a European uppercut for good measure. Junior stumbles back a little as now the Adrenaline Champion returns the favor and delivers a clothesline of his own however not opting for a quick cover he instead leaps up and drives a knee across the chest. Alex clutches at his chest before rolling over onto his stomach but Warren James isn't finished there as he pulls Junior up as he holds his knee into his lower back and begins to club away with his forearms.

Sharper: "Warren James making sure Alex Junior understands just who he's dealing with tonight. This match won't be as easy as he expects."

James gets off Junior and yells at him to get up which he does, Warren whips him into the corner and goes for a jumping splash but catches nothing but turnbuckle as Junior ducks out of the way. Spinning James around Alex hits a knife edge chop which get s a resounding woo from the crowd here in Salt Lake City. Junior hits another, and another trying for one more but Warren spins through and unleashes a torrent of chops of his own before whipping Alex into the other corner with authority. As Junior stumbles out, Warren James rolls across the canvas and as soon as he's on his feet takes Alex Junior off his with a clothesline once again which gets a roar from the crowd as he drops down and covers.

1...

Kickout by Alex Junior! Warren James pulls Alex to his feet and whips him into the ropes, he doubles over for a back body drop but Junior vaults over hitting the ring ropes quick and fast. James gets up but before he can turn around gets taken down with a bulldog. Rachel slams at the mat urging Alex junior to finish it. He begins to scale the top turnbuckle now and begins to set himself up as Warren holds his head, the young Desoubrais leaps off and attempts a moonsault but the Champion rolls through and Junior catches nothing but canvas.

Sharper: "Unlucky there by Alex Junior, a big move like that could have shifted the momentum in his favor for sure."

Kayl: "Hell even I felt that one."

Dawson: "Not as much as Alex Desoubrais Junior!"

James gets to his feet  and lifts himself up onto the second turnbuckle before sitting on the top motioning for Junior to get up which he begins to stir. The crowd begin to get excited as Alex Junior stumbles to his feet and with that James leaps off and hit's a yakuza kick right to the chest of Alex Desoubrais Junior sending him across the ring with force. Not content with that though, James gets to his feet first and climbs out onto the apron and again starts to call for Junior to get up. Jayde starts to slap the canvas as does Rachel whose yelling something at Junior. Junior begins to stir and starts to get to his feet once again, James ready's himself and pulls back on the top rope and vaults over attempting a shoulder block. But Alex leaps up and grabs hold of Warren James and drops down onto his bak with his knees on the chest of the Adrenaline Champion hitting a lungblower.

Kayl: "Jesus Christ!"

Sharper: "COULD THIS BE THE OPENING HE WANTED!?!"

Dawson: "Great Counter!!"

1...

KICK OUT BY JAMES. The crowd cheers as Warren lifts his shoulder up with authority as Alex holds his head having hoped that may have been enough. Both men get to their feet with Alex landing a stiff right hand to James who stumbles back a little before lunging forward with a right of his own, Junior tries again but is blocked and James hits another, then another. Junior goes for an elbow shot but the champion ducks before driving a knee into the gut of Junior doubling him over. Warren then pulls one arm through Juniors legs before grabbing the other and lifts him up and over before driving him down with a sit out powerbomb.

1...

2...

KICKOUT BY JUNIOR!

Sharper: "OOH SO CLOSE THERE, Alex Junior is reeling after that!"

Kayl: "Rachel is getting angry!"

Dawson: "Let me guess we won't like her when she's angry?"

Kayl: "Hey you said it not me!"

James gets to his feet first and stomps down onto the back of Junior before lifting him up and applying a front face lock, the Adrenaline Champion then lifts Junior up to a vertical base and holds him there in the middle of the ring showing off his upper body strength.

Sharper: "James there letting the blood flow down to Alex Juniors head, a good strategy if I ever see one."

Dawson: "It certainly is, because once your horizontal again your have not only a headache but all other kind of things going on  up there you really could do without!"

The crowd cheers continue on as James drops Junior down with a brain buster before sitting up. He doesn't go for the cover though as Alex Junior is out for the count it seems, he instead gets to his feet and reaches down pulling Alex Desoubrais up before Irish Whipping him into the corner with authority, Junior seemingly powerless now and slumps down into the corner. Warren James steps over to the other corner and quickly sprints across the ring and jumps up and flips over with a  delayed flip splash. The crowd cheers as the Adrenaline Champion holds the back of his neck as he gets up and stumbles back a little. He then walks over and drops down  now covering with the hook of a leg.

2...

NO ALEX JUNOR KICKS OUT!! The crowd sighs as the young Desoubrais seems to have a little fight left in him yet. Warren looks at the ref who holds out two fingers and doesn't look at all pleased about that. Being the first up he pulls Junior to his feet and hits a European uppercut sending Alex Junior into the ropes, he walks over only to get a kick to the gut from Junior doubling him over. Alex then plants another kick to the chest knocking James back up vertically. Alex jumping back a step goes for the Bitter sweet ending, but Warren James ducks under, Junior catching nothing but air. He spins around and James grabs him and hit's the Bionic Showdown and quickly covers hooking both legs as the crowd erupts!

1...

3!!!

Sharper: "Bionic Showdown steals the win here for the Adrenaline Champion, but Alex Junior could take away from this he gave it his best shot."

Kayl: "Alex tried his best, but the Adrenaline Champion just proved without a doubt how dominate he could be. I don't even think he broke a sweat there!"

Dawson: "Warren James is impressing more and more, as his star rises once again."

Warren James exits the ring as "Sober" by Tool hit's and he along with Jayde Blanchard begins to head backstage as Rachel slides in to check on Alex Junior.

The scene opens up backstage and we see David Helms with the World Championship sitting over his shoulder, Kathryn Helms, to his left, with Marisa Condolesa standing with him. The crowd cheers upon seeing him.

 

Condolesa: “I am here with the SCW World Champion David Helms and you’re going to be undertaking a challenge at Riding the Lightning that no World Champion before you has attempted. You’re going to defend the World Championship on two consecutive nights, both nights on pay per view. First night against Greg Cherry and the second night against Shilo Valiant, should you defeat Greg Cherry.”

 

Helms: “Exactly. And going by the comments of Greg Cherry earlier, I guess I should come up with alternate plans for the Sunday. Oh well....It was a nice ride. Oh wait...Greg, I understand what you’re going through and I know I’m going to be facing a man possessed, but so is everyone who comes into that ring to challenge for the World Championship. This is what we all wake up in the morning and want to become in our careers. You happen to have another motivation and one I can’t even come close to fathoming. But I’m going to expect you to come at me with everything you’ve got. Christy Matthews did that. Jake Starr did that. Just like you and Shilo will do the same. I’m going to do my job and that is be a fighting champion. If either one of you beat me, then I’ll shake your hand right there and that’s that. But....I’m not going to say that’s a forgone conclusion. I’m going to give you both the fight of your life and I’m going to show why SCW has got some of the best action on the planet. Greg, bring all you got. Shilo, same to you. I wouldn’t expect any less. But just because you want to get your wife and kid back and Shilo, you’re looking to start your next chapter I assume, don’t expect me to be ready to close this chapter of my life either.”

 

The crowd roars and Marisa Condolesa turns to Helms.

 

Condolesa: “Good luck David Helms. The World Champion, David Helms. Guys?”

 

“Rescue Me” starts to play in the background before we see the Breakdown logo come across the screen before we see a still for Dark Fantasy versus Midnight Boulevard come up onto the screen.

 

Sharper: “Thank you Marisa. Strong words from the champion. One of the individuals he will face at Riding the Lightning, providing he gets past Greg Cherry that is, will be Shilo Valiant. Shilo Valiant will be teaming up later with Marina Trent to face Ravyn Taylor and Syren.”

 

Dawson: “Tag team main event here tonight! And so much more. Breakdown returns! After this!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

 “King of the World” by Porcelain & the Tramps hits the PA system and the fans begin to boo. Several seconds pass as the music plays before the curtains part and out steps Christy Matthews. She’s dressed in a black shirt and denim jeans with her hair tied back and looks so completely different than we’re used to seeing. She also has both lower arms, especially the wrists, heavily bandaged up.

...E B D O N E N T E R T A I N M E N T P R E S E N T S...

...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...

Christy stands on the stage for a moment listening to the reaction from the crowd, which is almost entirely negative. After a few moments the curtains part again and Pete Ebdon steps out on to the stage alongside her. He grips her hand tightly for a moment before releasing and letting her walk down to the ring as he follows. She steps up on to the apron and climbs the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope for a long moment just staring out in to the crowd blankly before extending her arms to her sides in a mock crucifix pose and the bandages once again become apparent.

Sharper: “Ok, I’m not a fan of being interrupted when I’m about to talk about what’s next on the run sheet in front of me and I’d say something about not expecting to see this woman tonight but I think that would be a dramatic understatement of just how unexpected this is.”

Dawson: “You’re not kidding. For those of you who don’t know or who haven’t been following the updates Christy Matthews got her chance to make history last Sunday night at Retribution and she lost to David Helms as he successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against her. Two days later she was rushed to hospital. It’s been heavily reported she attempted to kill herself.”

Kayl: “Yeah well, maybe she should have succeeded. God knows the world could use one less member of the Infamous.”

Dawson: “Oh c’mon, I know you’ve got your problems with the group, and especially CHBK, but you cannot mean that. This young woman in the ring put her heart and soul in to trying to win the World title and if the rumours are right then...”

Sharper: “If the rumours are right then why is she here tonight? She’s not medically cleared to compete, she’s got to undergo major psychological evaluation before they’ll let her NEAR a ring again, there’s heavy doubts she’ll be appearing on Friday Night Ammo because of this, but yet she’s standing in the ring right now asking for a microphone.”

Christy has indeed jumped down from where she was standing on the turnbuckles and now stands in the middle of the ring as Jason Phillips hands her the microphone before ducking out of the ring. The former number one contender just stands in the middle of the ring looking around at the fans as they boo before slowly nodding her head.

Christy: “You know this is pretty much what I expected from you people. Nothing ever changes, does it? Do you people even remember why you hate me anymore, or do you just hate me because it’s easy to do? Do you hate me because I don’t go on television and suck up to television presenters, or deliver heart-warming speeches about how good I am and how much something means to me while lying through my teeth? Let me tell you all a story...”

The fans boo louder than before and Christy lowers the microphone for a long moment, almost accepting their hatred now and willing them to boo louder. When they begin to quieten she lifts the microphone back up again only for the booing to get louder and she laughs out loud.

Christy: “Very funny. Hate me all you want but you know that I’m right. Deep down inside you in the places you try to ignore you know that I’m right and it hurts you. It hurts you that the locker room is full of FAKES and FRAUDS. It hurts you that the people you cheer would say anything, do anything or hurt anyone in order to fulfil their ambitions. It hurts you that your heroes aren’t heroes at all but pathetic, contrived and deceitful LIARS. But you don’t believe that. Of course you don’t believe that. So let’s take a quick analysis of your heroes, shall we? Let’s start with Greg Cherry...”

The fans cheer wildly at the mention of the new United States Champion and Christy nods her head in agreement.

Christy: “Oh yeah, he’s one you love. He’s one you adore. But do you know what Greg Cherry really is? Do you think Greg Cherry gives a DAMN about you? He doesn’t. All he cares about is gold. He bet his OWN FAMILY against winning the World Heavyweight Championship. He bet his wife he’d never see her again if he didn’t get the job done, and he failed. You think a man like that gives a damn about you people? You think a man like that actually means a single thing he says when he talks about passion and love for this business? You think he even cares about that belt on his shoulder? You people care more about that title than him. To him it’s nothing because it’s not the big one. All he cares about is himself. Am I different? Perhaps not, but at least I’ve got the guts to come out here and admit it.”

The fans boo louder but Christy doesn’t stop and let them this time, she just talks louder in to the microphone so she can still be heard.

Christy: “Then there’s the former US Champion Shilo Valiant. “Necro!! Necro!! I love to entertain!!” BULLCRAP! This is a man who can’t even stay consistent from day to day. This is a man who’s “Tour De Necro” was the biggest load of crap I’ve ever seen in my life, but you people ate it up. You loved it, and why? Because you bought in to the lies! Once again Valiant doesn’t care about entertainment, he doesn’t care about honour or pride, all he cares about is HIMSELF but he’s too much of a coward to admit to it. So is Tommy Valentine!”

The crowd pops for the mention of the former World Heavyweight Champion’s real name and Christy shakes her head in disgust.

Christy: “You still cheer him? You still cheer “Mr Second Chance” himself. Then again what the hell am I branding him with that title for, every individual I’ve mentioned so far has held out their hands time after time after time and BEGGED for second chances, haven’t they? Thorn though? Thorn begs for second chances and when all is said and done he STILL fails to deliver on the big stage. He’s your hero because he stood up to the big bad Alex Desoubrais for being a FRAUD, being a FAKE, being a DECEITFUL COWARD but hey guess what? I was dropping Alex Desoubrais on his head when I got my chance for just the same reasons, but you people booed me then. You people hated me because I saw what you couldn’t. I saw through CHBK’s lies. And I see through David Helms’ as well.”

The fans pop for the name of the World Heavyweight Champion but immediately boo the implication that he’s a fraud.

Christy: “Truth hurts, doesn’t it? Truth is David Helms is no different to all the others. Truth is David Helms is a liar and a fake as well and once again he can’t admit it. He’ll tell you that he’s “changed”, that he’s a different man to who he used to be... but he’s not. He’s a fraud just like the others. He did beat me at Retribution however. I gave it everything I had and I lost. Before recently I never cared about the belt that David Helms is wearing. I never wanted to be World Champion because I didn’t believe in the stigma around the belt. I thought that was FAKE as well. The idea that you’re immediately the best in the world because you win the shiny belt? Lies. But I worked harder than ANY of your heroes to get my shot. I got through an eight-person tournament to get that opportunity and while I did that what did your hero do? He sat on his ass doing commentary.  And where is your hero tonight? Taking it easy. Playing it safe. You think he’s YOUR champion? I think he’s a FRAUD. Everything about him is a lie... but everything about me is real.”

She tucks the microphone in to her jeans for a moment and starts to rip at the bandages on one of her wrists, finally getting a decent hold of a piece and beginning to unwrap it. It takes several seconds of unwrapping but finally the bandage comes off and she steps up to the camera to show the camera her wrist.

Christy: “Take a good look. You people cheer the fakes, the ones who tell you what you want to hear, the ones who pander for your attention with stupid little lines or lame-ass jokes but you ignore what’s real. Last Tuesday night when I realised how close I’d come to that title and to achieving something that nobody without a Y-chromosome had ever done before this screw-up, this girl you despise, this scarred, broken mess you see before you in the ring tried to kill herself. I tried to take my own life because I didn’t see the point anymore. Now I do. I pushed your hero to his limit. I felt the edge of Superman’s power and it only made me want to beat him more. So that’s why I’m out here. We’re standing in the house of second-chances, right? Everybody gets a second chance! I want one as well. Then again I’m not Greg Cherry, I won’t get HANDED five title shots in the same year. I won’t wrestle for the World title at THREE events in a row. I’m not Jake Starr, am I? I’m not your little hero there. I won’t get title shot after title shot after title shot because I came out here and DEMANDED them. And why not?”

She looks at her own wrist and runs her finger along the scars before looking back up in to the closest camera and showing them the scars again.

Christy: “You think I don’t care? THIS IS HOW MUCH I CARE! All the fakes in the back will tell you they deserve it the most. All the frauds and the liars will come up with excuses why it should be theirs. I’m going to stand here right now and tell you I don’t have a reason. I don’t have an excuse. But NOBODY wants it more than I do. Right now they say I can’t compete. Apparently lying to millions of people and changing your whole personality on a whim is just fine with this company, but slitting your own wrists they frown upon. Funny considering at least what I did was honest. David, your next challengers have already been lined up for you. There’s always somebody else waiting in the wings. But always know that I came out here in front of the world and called you out. I came out in front of the world and told the truth. I’m willing to show these people my real face and all my scars while you hide back there covered in makeup. I’m not asking for “one on one”, I’m not Jake Starr. I’m just asking for another shot whether it’s in a three-way, four-way or ten-way I don’t give a damn.”

She stares blankly out at the people before looking back in to the camera with anger on her face.

Christy: “Deny me if you want. Tell me I don’t deserve it. I’m the only REAL thing in this company and you, these people and the frauds in makeup in the back can’t handle the truth. Welcome to my world, welcome to my PAIN...”

She looks at the scars on her wrist again before showing them to the camera one more time.

Christy: “Welcome to REALITY!”

She drops the microphone to the mat and extends her arms out to her sides in the crucifix pose she struck before. The camera pans across one bandaged up wrist to the other with the week old scars. There are actually tears in her eyes as she drops to the mat and rolls under the bottom rope with her fiancé following behind her. He takes her hand and they walk back up the ramp with Christy snatching a David Helms sign off of a fan and ripping it to pieces before throwing it back. Ebdon has to pull her away as it looks as though she’s about to snap at the fan even more and they disappear behind the curtain.

Sharper: “Ok, I’m not sure what to say.”

Kayl: “Guess the rumours were true.”

Dawson: “I think we just saw a woman in an incredible amount of pain mentally, and probably physically as well, lashing out at the world. She’s got a lot of hate in her, that much is obvious. And she wants another shot. I get the feeling she might be waiting a long time.”

Sharper: “Well she said that she’s not even cleared to compete right now. It’s obvious that psychologically she’s a mess. Still it had to take a lot of guts to come out here and do that. Hopefully she’ll be back in the ring soon.”

Kayl: “If she’s really not cleared then what happens to her match on Ammo? Somebody needs to figure that one out.”

 

The cameras focus on the curtains for a few moments before the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage and in the Infamous locker room as we see Christy Matthews walking into the room with Pete Ebdon following her. CHBK just looks at them and slow-claps as Syren just looks at CHBK shocked and Lucas just glares at him.

 

CHBK: “So, you feel better now?”

 

Christy just ignores CHBK and walks past and Ebdon looks at CHBK.

 

Ebdon: “What’s wrong with you?”

 

CHBK: “Easy. This is wrestling. You win some. You lose some. If you’re going to overreact like that, you’re a weakness.”

 

Christy: “Screw you.”

 

CHBK: “Then prove me wrong. Do you know how many times ALL of us in this room have had that big match and not won. Sure, Lucas and I have won a title. Sure, Ravyn and Syren have won a title. But you were far from the end...maybe this just isn’t the business you should be in. Or maybe you should go find a place like a Majestic again and the pressure won’t be so much. You wanted the notoriety.....”

 

Ebdon: “I should just hit you where you stand.”

 

CHBK: “You know I’m not wrong.”

 

Ravyn: “Perhaps we just need to relax. Sure, I agree what Christy did was foolish-“

 

Lucas: “Foolish?”

 

Ravyn: “I didn’t stutter.”

 

Lucas just walks over and Syren then jumps up.

 

Syren: “Stop! We don’t need this. This is the last thing we all need. We need to focus on what we want to do. Ravyn and I need to focus on our match tonight. Lucas, you need to focus on getting back to the World Championship.”

 

Christy: “What about me, Zoe?”

 

CHBK: “Go back to the hotel and think.”

 

Ebdon: “Alex...”

 

Ravyn just sighs.

 

Ravyn: “Zoe is right. Add that we’ve already lost Lohan who hasn’t been heard from since her loss.”

 

CHBK: “Good riddance. Another weakness.”

 

Christy: “Okay! I get it. I screwed up!”

 

CHBK: “Exactly! All I’m asking is for you to show you DESERVE what you’ve been given.”

 

Ebdon: “Christy...Alex....”

 

CHBK just turns and shakes his head as he then walks out of the room. Ravyn just watches before going to follow CHBK. Syren looks a bit confused before just sitting back down. Lucas and Ebdon look at each other as Christy just shakes her head and walks over to her bags as we go back to ringside.

 

Kayl: “Does he care about ANYONE but himself?”

 

Dawson: “I don’t know, but wow...Infamous having a bit of a rift there.”

Orlando Cruze vs. Ace Marshall vs. Andrew Samuel Pugh

 

Sharper: “Well, coming up right now folks we’ve got a triple-threat for you pitting the newcomer on a roll, Shaun Cruze, up against two men looking to stake a claim to their spots on the SCW roster, Ace Marshall and the returning Andrew Samuel Pugh.”

Dawson: “ASP has been out a while with an injured ankle, this is probably not the kind of match he needed to ease his way back in to in-ring competition. Rumour has it he was training in Japan up until a few weeks ago getting ready for this comeback.”

Kayl: “Damn, poor Japanese people. They finally get rid of ASP and then they’re country gets half destroyed. They can’t catch a break.”

A very quick clip appears with a countdown starting from three starts on the screens, flashing between blue and green numbered cards before a very large and loud golden pyro goes off center stage and "Wanted Man" by Rev Theory begins playing. Ace Marshall steps out from the pyro with his arms extended out while twirling to a hateful audience. The crowd begins booing loudly as Ace makes machine gun shots with his hands before casually walking down the ramp as his theme begins to pick up. Reaching the bottom of the ramp he takes a quick step forward before leaping up onto the apron Ace leaps over the top rope and lands in the ring where he stops in the center and drops to one knee. He raises both arms up with his thumbs extended out pointing to himself, taunting the crowd before each turnbuckle one at a time but in quick progression goes off with more pyro. Each one goes off five times in succession and in order. After the last one Ace jumps up to his feet and cracks his neck before turning toward the stage ready for the match.

Sharper: “Ace is still looking to really bring himself up alongside his partners and he looks ready to go tonight. His ‘mentor’ Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler of course won the World Tag Team Championships at Retribution, James Evans is a former Adrenaline Champion and has pinned the World Champion, Ace is probably feeling left out.”

Dawson: “He is left out. He thinks he’s a babe-magnet and if he’s in professional wrestling only for the chicks then he’s lucked out but if he actually wants to make money or have any semblance of a decent career he’s definitely not on the right path right now.”

Kayl: “He needs to take some life lessons from Charlie Sheen since I don’t think Ace Marshall really knows what WINNING is all about.”

The video screen cranks into life, the opening rifts of ‘You know my name’ hitting over the sound system. The fans get to their feet in a huge wave of noise, from the tops of the arena all the way down to ringside

If you take a life
do you know what you'll give?
Odds are you won't like what it Is.

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
Just next in line

Shaun appears at the top of the ramp, and looks out over the crowd, lifting his hands and clapping those that cheer for him at the tops of their voices. Pyro explodes from the ramp to the roof tops, the noise almost taking the ceiling off the place. He points at his tee shirt which states NOW 100% SCW, which gets another major pop from the crowd

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfil you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
you know my name

He nods his head, and begins the walk down the ramp way, high fiving the appreciative fans at ringside and signing a few autographs as the noise never quietens

If you come inside
Things will not be the same
When you return to my eyes

And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing

I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Then you yourself but if you must pretend
You may meet your end

He slides under the bottom rope and into the ring, spinning around and then stopping in the centre, raising his arms aloft and pointing at the ceiling as pyro now explodes from the turnbuckles

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins

Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel (forget how to feel)
Life is gone
With just a spin of the wheel (spin of the wheel)

He walks to the first turnbuckle and climbs it, lifting one first in the air, before then smashing it into his chest. He jumps down and goes to a second turnbuckle, repeating the movement.

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name (You Know My Name)

After climbing a third and then the forth, he stands there on the second rope for a while, before bouncing on the strand and back flipping into the middle of the ring, and stands there, smile on his face, looking out at the sea of faces that chant his name

You Know My Name (You Know My Name)
You Know My Name
You Know My Name
You Know My Name

As his music end he shakes the hand of the referee, his eyes now finally meeting those of Ace Marshall.

Dawson: “You want to talk about ‘winning’ Donovan, right now standing in the ring we’ve got a man who knows what ‘winning’ is all about. Shaun Cruze on a hell of a roll since joining SCW a few weeks ago, of course he got his revenge on Sunday against Anthony Wallace after that unprovoked attack by Wallace.”

Kayl: “No doubt, Cruze is showing massive potential but goddamn, that had to be one of the longest entrances in the company. Seriously I think some of the fans who got up to go to the bathroom when Marshall’s music hit had time to buy popcorn on the way back to their seats.”

All of the lights (all of the lights)

The arena flash red, blue, green and yellow strobe lights as ASP's music blast through the PA system.

Turn up the lights in here baby
extra bright, I want y'all to see this
turn up the lights in here, baby
you know what I need
want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights

ASP soon emerges from the curtains and walks on to the ramp, receiving decent heel heat from the fans. ASP is sporting a black vest with the red bold letters ASP on the back and a pair of sunglasses.

Fast cars, shooting stars
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
Until it's Vegas everywhere we are
(all of the lights, all of the lights)

If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life
If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life

He slowly stares at the crowd before raising his arms. He takes his time walking down the ramp, seeming in no rush. ASP is also sporting a focused expression on his face while walking to the apron. He stops close to the ring, then began walking to the right side. He makes his way to the announcer's table and gets on top and taunts the crowd, receiving more jeers. He quickly jumps off and climbs on to the apron and then climbs to the top of the turnbuckle. The fans jeer as ASP descends the turnbuckle and stares at the crowd before throwing his arms up. ASP soon runs through rope by rope, warming up for this match. He then takes off his shirt and gives and throws it outside before walking to a nearby corner. The referee calls for the bell and as ASP is about to sit in the corner when Marshall comes charging at him and ASP ducks the attempted corner clothesline, turning to Marshall and firing off forearm shots, knocking him in to the corner. He goes for a big shot and Marshall ducks it, spinning him around and beginning to unload with right hands before Cruze grabs him from behind, pulling him out of the corner and striking him with a massive forearm shot that sends him staggering back toward ASP. ASP gets both feet up in the corner and kicks Marshall in the face sending him back toward Cruze. Cruze nails him with another forearm shot which sends him staggering back to ASP who nails him with one of his own, continuing the ping-pong on Marshall between the two of them. Marshall staggers back toward Cruze who picks him up and drops him hard across his knee with a backbreaker.

Dawson: “And Ace Marshall’s attempt at a cheapshot to start this match has backfired in THE WORST possible way. Marshall taking shot after shot to the head before being dropped down hard across his back.”

Sharper: “I think right now for Marshall it could be a case of trying too hard. He’s being outshone by his teammates, he’s trying to get back on a level playfield with them and it cost him right there in the worst possible way.”

Marshall rolls out of the ring holding his back in pain and says something to the camera about it not being fair, demanding that the referee give him a timeout so that he can recover. We switch back to the ring where we see Shaun Cruze taking ASP down with an armdrag. ASP struggles back up but Cruze holds on to the arm rather than releasing and the moment that ASP is up Cruze whips him back down again hard. ASP grabs his back with his free arm but Cruze continues to hold the arm, pulling him up again and going for third armdrag takedown but ASP blocks this one, landing on his feet as he’s whipped over before quickly using the grip Cruze has on him against him and kicking him in the gut, dropping to his back and using the grip on the arm to pull Cruze down where he manages to get a unique attempt at a small package on him...

Kayl: “Whoa, ASP actually with a nice counter and the first fall of the match.”

Dawson: “You seem surprised...”

Kayl: “Well yeah, it is Andrew Samuel Pugh right? He’s not exactly well known for doing things right around here. Remember Generation Supreme?”

Marshall rolls back in to the ring and kicks ASP in the head to break up the three. He nails Cruze in the back with a kick before going after ASP, hammering away with right hands until ASP blocks one and fires back with one of his own. Marshall blocks the second though, raking ASP’s eyes. The referee berates him but Marshall ignores him entirely, pushing him in to the ropes and whipping him across the ring before running the opposite ropes himself and rebounding with a massive double-knee strike to ASP that sends him down to the mat. ASP is quick back to his feet and Marshall grabs him, going for a back suplex but ASP floats over and lands on his feet. He grabs Marshall and lifts him up for a suplex of his own from behind but Cruze re-enters the fight and Marshall grabs him with both legs around the head, preventing the suplex from Cruze and then rolling to the side, snapping off a modified head scissors on Cruze and a modified headlock takedown on ASP. He leaps back to his feet and takes a bow for the crowd as they boo him.

Sharper: “Impressive counter by Marshall but he doesn’t need to be cocky at this stage, he needs to keep focused on the match in front of him. No doubt he’s looking for the big chances, the big opportunities but if he wants them he needs to start putting some wins together.”

Dawson: “Consistency has been Marshall’s biggest problem in SCW. He’s got the talent without doubt, and he’s got the ability, and when he’s really on a roll he can be massive entertaining, but he can’t seem to keep that going for more than a few weeks before something lets him down.”

Kayl: “Probably doesn’t help he’s aligned with Katelyn Buehler as well, I’d be distracted as well if I had that thing in my locker room every week.”

Marshall has confidence flowing through him as both ASP and Cruze get back to their feet and Marshall runs the ropes, attempting a crossbody on both men but they catch him and throw him overhead and all the way through the ropes to the outside with a fall away slam. Marshall hits the padding on the outside with a nasty thud and grabs his back and side in agony, rolling about on the floor as ASP gets back to his feet and looks down proudly, only to turn and have Cruze nail him with a running ax-handle. The fans cheer as Cruze attempts to follow up but ASP counters with a shot that’s suspiciously low. The referee claims it was above the belt but Cruze is in major pain and ASP follows up, drilling him with straight right hands against the ropes before whipping him to the opposite side and ducking down. Cruze leap frogs over him on his rebound before stopping and leaping up, dropkicking him from behind and sending ASP face first to the mat.

Dawson: “Ouch! That shot was apparently legal, or at least the referee thought it was. I guess that’s one of the problems with being a referee, you only have a fraction of a second to make a decision with things like that but I think that was about as low as a blow can be without technically being an outright groin punch.”

Sharper: “Referee thought it was legal, ASP tried to take advantage but Cruze too good, too talented to let that happen. This young man is making a major impact since coming in from IWC, if he can keep building the kind of momentum he has been the sky is the limit.”

Cruze pulls ASP back to his feet and snaps off a neckbreaker before floating in to a cover. Before the referee can even drop to make the count however Marshall is back in with a running kick to the side of Cruze’s skull, rocking him and knocking him off of ASP. Marshall pulls ASP to his feet and drives him back to the corner but ASP begs him off, first pointing at himself and then at Marshall before looking over at Cruze. The fans boo wildly as Marshall understands what he means and nods his head in agreement. Both men approach Cruze who’s still holding his head after the kick and pull him to his feet. Marshall drives him chest first hard in to the turnbuckles and ASP follows in with a kick to the back. Marshall quickly joins in and both men begin kicking the hell out of Cruze in the corner.

Kayl: “I swear to god ASP just had his first smart idea ever. Pity it’s taken him this long in his SCW career to come up with it, but better late than never as they say. Who knows, maybe the ankle injury and time away was what this kid needed.”

Sharper: “I’m not sure about the honour involved in this ‘idea’ to double-team the hell out of Cruze but it makes sense, neither man is exactly happy that Shaun Cruze has come in and both men are fighting for their spots on the roster. They’re actually united in that neither of them want Cruze to overtake them.”

ASP tells Marshall to pull him out of the corner which Marshall does only for ASP to grab him and slam him straight back in, back first this time, before beginning to kick the hell out of him again. He barks another order at Marshall who scoffs before doing as ASP requested and putting his foot straight across the throat of Cruze. The referee starts to count out the choke hold as ASP gets some free shots in, but Marshall breaks it at four. ASP then orders Marshall to hold him in place as he walks across the ring and starts clapping his hands. Rather than getting in to it the fans boo even louder than before. ASP ignores them however before charging across the ring, only to run straight in to a discus lariat from Marshall who almost decapitates the charging ASP. The fans actually cheer before Marshall flips them off and they immediately return to booing.

Dawson: “Ouch! ASP with one smart idea, you’re right about that, but when he started ordering Marshall around I don’t think the Smoking Ace took too kindly to it and ASP paid big time.”

Kayl: “He’s used to being a leader I guess but Ace Marshall isn’t Dylan Cole and the days of Generation Supreme are long, long behind him, I think ASP needs to get used to the fact that he’s now the boss of absolutely nobody.”

With ASP down Marshall ties up his legs and locks in a submission hold, bridging out and grabbing ASP’s head as well causing ASP to cry out in pain and frantically reach for the ropes. Marshall screams at him to tap out but ASP refuses. Marshall breaks the bridge but not the leg tie-up and repositions himself, perhaps going for another submission move but Cruze comes in out of nowhere with a kick to the gut before drilling him with an STO, driving the back of his head down against the mat while his legs are still tied up with ASPs. ASP cries out in pain again and rolls out of the way, holding his legs as Cruze gets back to his feet to a pop from the crowd. Cruze runs the ropes before nailing a Lionsault on the prone Ace Marshall, hooking the leg for the pin.

1...

2...

Sharper: “And ASP struggling to make the save to prevent Ace Marshall from being pinned.”

ASP grabs Cruze and tries to whip him to the corner but Cruze blocks it, leaping up on to the middle rope and spinning around in midair before catching an on-rushing ASP with a sick kick to the head. The crowd pops for the move as Cruze rolls to his feet, still favouring his back a little after the assault earlier. Marshall is back up and Cruze drills him with a running mule kick before pulling him back to his feet and suplexing him down to the mat, holding on to the grip and pulling him up in a front facelock. He hammers a knee straight to Marshall’s face and ASP comes at him with a running clothesline attempt that Cruze ducks, grabbing ASP from behind and dropping him with a neckbreaker and Marshall with a DDT. The fans pop wildly once again. Cruze pulls ASP to his feet and whips him to the ropes, then pulls Marshall up and whips him over there as well. He backs in to the corner before sprinting across and going for a running Yakuza style kick to both men but Marshall sees it coming and moves out of the way, leaving ASP to get the brunt of the kick straight to the face. Marshall quickly grabs Cruze and rolls him up...

1...

2...

Dawson: “And Cruze able to kick out.”

Kayl: “Good GOD did you see that kick? That was meant for both men, and especially for Ace Marshall, but Marshall moves out of the way and I think ASP may be out injured again needing dental surgery! He had to lose some teeth right there.”

ASP is doubled over in the corner in agony as Marshall pulls Cruze to his feet and attempts a German suplex but Cruze blocks it, spinning Marshall around and trying for one of his own. Marshall blocks it this time and performs another standing switch, rolling Cruze up from behind.

Sharper: “Another attempted pin, they’re coming thick and fast now!”

1...

2...

Cruze kicks out sending Marshall off of him and Marshall goes head first in to the groin of ASP in the corner. It’s entirely an accident and there’s nothing the referee can do about it. The fans laugh and cheer as ASP drops to his knees in absolute agony, rolling under the bottom rope and collapsing to the mat on the outside holding his groin and his jaw. Marshall gets back to his feet, his head likely connecting with the turnbuckle as well as ASP’s groin from his grogginess. He turns straight in to a kick from Cruze, followed up by a series of kicks from Cruze that drop Marshall to one knee. Cruze finishes the combo of kicks by running the ropes and nailing a shining wizard, knocking Marshall out in the middle of the ring. He sees his chance and grabs Marshall by the arm and leg, dragging him to the corner before going up top. He positions himself before leaping off and nailing a reverse 450 splash from the top rope.

Dawson: “DECIMATION CONNECTS!! And that’s EXACTLY what it was for Ace Marshall!”

Sharper: “ASP on the outside but I don’t think there’s any way he’s going to break up the pin...”

1...

2...

3!!

“You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell hits the PA system as Shaun Cruze gets to his feet to have his arm raised in victory. ASP is still down on the outside holding his face and groin and Marshall just lays in the corner completely out of it as Cruze climbs the turnbuckles, soaking in the applause from the fans before jumping over the ropes and heading to the back.

Sharper: “And another very impressive showing by Shaun Cruze. Credit to Andrew Samuel Pugh though, he gave a good showing in this one and if not that for that very unfortunate low blow he might have had more success.”

Dawson: “Very unfortunate is right, he got Marshall’s head full steam in to his groin, that’d be enough to keep anybody down for a long time and Shaun Cruze was quick to take advantage and continue his hot streak.”

Kayl: “I’m not sure whether ASP should be happy or upset to be single, he’s definitely not getting any tonight after that shot but he could probably use somebody right about now to help take care of him. That seriously had to hurt, I felt that out here.”

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see Dillusion and Hallucigen looking around. Wallace then bursts into the Rejected locker room and we see a couple of officials in there too. They immediately go over to him.

 

Wallace: “Where the hell is Nicole?”

 

Hallucigen: “Well...not here.”

 

Wallace: “Don’t start. Where is she? Dillusion?”

 

Dillusion: “Saber...”

 

Wallace turns away and turns before grabbing a lamp in the room and throwing it into the wall.

 

Wallace: “Son of a bitch....Son of a BITCH!”

 

Dillusion: “We’ll find her.....”

 

Dillusion just turns and then looks around as the camera turns to show a note that just has a clown face written on a card and a bag of gummy bears ripped out. The camera focuses on them before the sound of a door slamming is heard and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Masquerade vs. Travis Green

 

The guitar riffs bring the fans to their feet. The big screen shows several masks flying around before crashing into one another and making the word, Masquerade. We then see the man himself standing there posing. 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 as well as several clips of Karnivale celebrating with titles and victories. From the ramp, a pedestal opens and rising slowly as if in slow motion, with the wind blowing in his face, is Masquerade. His back is to the audience and his arms are out at different angles, holding several different masks. 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

He turns slowly one eighty for the audience, before tossing his masks aside. They cause a few cool explosions when they land. Masquerade then 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 lowers them over his face to take off his last mask as the vocals go 'I'm not afraid... I'm ashamed... I'm not ok... Welcome to the Masquerade!'

Masquerade kips up and slowly takes off his trenchcoat, tossing it out of 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 his mask and tosses it out to a lucky fan in the audience.

Welcome to the Masquerade...

The music cuts and the fans roar!

Dawson: The Full Metal Maverick, Coming off a win against Simon Kalis at Retribution. Giving the fans another installment in the Tour de Mask.

Kayl: Don't you mean Tour De Nerco?

Dawson: No, granted they're very close. And coming from different members of one tag team. But rest assured, they are two entirely different things.

Kayl: Not to mention that it's possible that The Tour De Nerco was stopped by Greg Cherry.

Sharper: Regardless, Masquerade is facing a man that was also successful at Retribution's preshow.

The lights around the arena dim, save for the electric white pattern flashing around on the entrance display. The little bolt of lightning begins to glow brighter in size with the steady beat of an EKG machine. It thumps four times before a melodic voice comes across the PA system through out the arena.

I'm About To Lose My Mind,
You've Been Gone For So Long,
I'm Runnin Out of Time,
I Need A Doctor,
Call Me A Doctor,
I Need a Doctor, Doctor, To Bring Me Back To Life...

The heart rate drops to flat line as the lights on the stage die down. Suddenly the spot lights on either side of the stage flash to full brightness as they turn upwards from the ground, shining their radiance on the entire arena as they reach the roof, then begin to circle through the arena in an obvious circular pattern and as they do the figure appears from the curtain, back turned to the fans as he quickly back peddles to the edge of the stage where the ramp to the ring begins.

Told The World One Day I Would Pay It Back
Say It On Tape, And Lay It, Record It
So That One Day I Could Play It Back
But I Don’t Even Know If I Believe It When I’m Saying That
Y'all Starting To Creep In, Everyday Its So Gray And Black
Hope, I Just Need A Ray Of That
Cause No One See’s My Vision When I Play It For ‘em
They Just Say Its Wack
They Don’t Know What Dope Is
And I Don’t Know If I Was Awake Or Asleep
When I Wrote This,
All I Know Is You Came To Me When I Was At My Lowest
You Picked Me Up, Breathing Life In Me

Travis turns around, looking at the crowd about three lines into the first chorus. He glances at the fans, his happy go lucky expressions of old replaced with a hardened look of determination laced with a drug incurred frenzy. He slowly paces down the ramp, stopping half way down to raise an arm in a fist as pyro explodes from the sides raining sparks down while Travis poses.

I Owe My Life To You
Before The Life Of Me, I Don't See Why You Don't see Like I Do
But It Just Dawned On Me You Lost A Son
See This Light In You, It’s Dark.
Let Me Turn On The Lights And Brighten Me And Enlighten You
I Don't Think You Realize What You Mean To Me
Not The Slightest Clue
Cause Me And You Were Like A Crew
I Was Like Your Sidekick
You Gon Either Wanna Fight Me When I Get Off This Fucking Mic
Or You Gon Hug Me
But I’m Not An Option, There's Nothing Else I Can Do Cause…

Travis lowers his arm and briskly walks to the ring, taking his time to walk up the steps rather than slide in as he used to. He steps in between the ropes, taking his time to reach the corner across from him. He glances over his shoulder towards the entrance before climbing to the second rope, holding his fist in the air again as he did on the ramp.

I'm About To Lose My Mind
You’ve Been Gone For So Long
I’m Running Out Of Time
I Need A Doctor
Call Me A Doctor
I Need A Doctor, Doctor
To Bring Me Back To Life

Travis steps down from the turnbuckle, turning and using the ropes to stretch as his music dies down and the lights return to normal.


Kayl: Here comes the Doctor, Travis Green.

Sharper: During the Pre Show for Retribution, he proved that having a good defense is just as good as an offense. This will be a battle of conflicting styles.

The two men circle each other before engaging in a tie up. Travis gets the inital upperhand contorting The Stranger in abdominal stretch, it seemingly does even faze him. Green torques and adds more pressure to the hold. Masquerade cackles in laughter, frusrating Green, who shifts the hold into a suplex, Masquerade hits the mat hard, Green puts his feet around The One Man Trill Ride's head and drops to the mat himself, bringing up Masquerade to his feet. Green twists and completes a roll over head scissors that throws Masquerade back to the mat. Doc rolls him over and goes for the cover.

One..

Tw-

Not even a two count as Masquerade shoots his shoulder up. Green gets up and grabs an arm, twisting Masquerade, flipping him over to face down on the mat. Green working the arm into a wrench, forcing his opponent to his feet. Pulling Masquerade to the turnbuckle, Green climbing to the top and jumping off. Green's body twists around Masquerade and finishing the aerial assualt with an arm drag that puts Masquerade back onto the mat.

Dawson: Green showing some great offensive moves. Hard to say if Masquerade can even get any momentum back into his favor at all.

Kayl: The One Man Thrill Ride is being taken for a ride instead.

Sharper: Masquerade has proven on more than one occasion that he can take a beating.

Green gives Masquerade a couple of stomps to the back while Masquerade is still down. Green heads back towards the turnbuckle, stomping Masquerade two more times before completing the journey to the corner. Travis asscends the ropes all the way to the top. Playing up the crowd, which gains a fair positive reaction.

Sharper: Is he going for a Steam Roller here?

Kayl: It's too early for that. He needs to wear down Masquerade more if he wants to try something that risky.

Dawson: These high moves can either make or break a match. Certainly Green knows what he's doing.

The Doc leaps off, twisting his body in a corkscrew fashion while flipping like a Senton Bomb. Green's body collides with Masquerade and the crowd gives a louder cheer. Green pushes Masquerade on his back and goes for the cover.

One..


Two..


Th.

Dawson: A Corkscrew Senton?!! Isn't that a Steam Roller?

Kayl: Nope, not quite.

Masquerade kicks out. Green's face is red with frustration as he grabs ahold of Masquerade's leg and flips him back over, working in a single leg crab, torquing the leg up as much as he can. The ref is checking Masquerade if he wants to quit the match. Masquerade isn't quiting, crawling his way towards the ropes. Elbow over elbow, inching his way over, reaching his arm out.

Kayl: Not exactly the smartest thing for Green to be doing. Masquerade rarely taps out.

Sharper: I disagree, Masquerade might not tap out, but there's still damage being done. And the more Green wears him, the easier it would be to finish this match in his favor.

Masquerade pushes himself harder and crawls within reach of the ropes. He grabs them while Green was unaware. The ref demands for the release of the hold.

Dawson: Masquerade refuses to give in and gets to the ropes.

Green releases the hold. Pacing around the ring in a wide circle, appearing like he's trying to set up either the Roaring Knee or Elbow. Masquerade is pulling himself up to his feet. Green makes his charge, leaping at Masquerade, and nailing him with the Roaring Elbow right across the jaw. Masquerade goes down, Green's follow through keeps him going and stopping on the ropes. Green uses them to continue the assualt with a slingshot splash. Making another cover on Masquerade.

One..

Two..

Thr..

Masquerade refuses to give up and gets his shoulder up to break up the pinfall. Green tries again for another pin cover.

One..

Masquerade gets his foot up on the ropes. Green pulls Masquerade from the ropes and moves quickly to the corner and climbs up once again. From the top of the ropes, Green gives a cut throat taunt to the crowd, building more energy from their cheers, Doc goes for the Steam Roller, adding more of a twist, trying for a 720 degree rotation vice the normal 630. Masquerade rolls out of the way and Green lands face first on the mat. The crowd makes a loud "Ouuww" sound, sympathizing the pain Green must be feeling.

Kayl: High risk moves, oh do they hurt.

Green and Masquerade work theirselves up to their feet. Green looking groggy. Masquerade and Green tie up with each other. Both are trying to get in the leverage, Masquerade wins out with an Irish whip to the turnbuckle, and running behind Green. Not giving Green any recovering time, just enough to turn around as Masquerade starts to unload with lightning fast punches, hitting Green in the face, chest and mid section. After the flurry Masquerade finishes this attack with a backflip kick to the head, knocking Green to a sitting position in the corner, stunned. The Stranger backs up and slams Green's face with a gun packet drop kick.

Dawson: Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire!

The crowd's energy is built up, Masquerade grabs Green's head and pulls him in a reverse DDT position, Masquerade climbs up to the 2nd rope, jumping over Green, and plants him with an odd variant of a reverse DDT. Masquerade goes for a pin cover.

One..

Two..

Just a two count as Travis goes into a wrestler's bridge, getting both of his shoulders off the mat. Masquerade pushes himself off from Green. Green turns himself over from the bridge and gets himself to one knee. Masquerade tries to him with a hard grizzly clothesline but Green rolls out of the way and is back on his feet, running and rebounding off the ropes. Masquerade heads in the opposite direction, and the two men charge at each other, Green ducks under another clothesline from Masquerade. They hit the ropes again and meet paths again. Masquerade gets the drop on Green with a running tornade DDT. Masquerade climbs over Green and starts to punch his face over and over again. The fifth punch busts Green open, and blood starts to flow over his eyes and face. Masquerade gets himself to his feet as Green tries to get the blood out from his eyes.

Sharper: Green is busted wide open.

Dawson: He's wearing the Crimson Mask!

Masquerade climbs the turnbuckle to the top and leaps for a 450 Splash, Green rolls out of the way, and Masquerade lands, jamming his knees with the mat.

Kayl: I think the Full Metal Maverick might have injured himself on that landing.

Sharper: Can he finish this match?

 

Masquerade fighting through the pain of the missing splash, getting himself to his feet, Green stumbling up to his feet, still wiping the blood from his face. Green shakes his head and charges at Masquerade, going for another Roaring Elbow, Masquerade ducks under the elbow, turning around. Green is unaware of not connecting and Masquerade grabs Green from behind, putting him into a reverse DDT once again. Masquerade drops Travis' back onto his knee, then applies the full Tour De Mask, wrenching on the neck as the leg scissors are applied.

Dawson: Tour De Mask.

Kayl: Isn't that what he is calling his current run of matches?

Sharper: That sleeper, that's the Tour De Mask. Can Green outlast the pain and escape?

Green struggles with hold. Blood flowing over his eyes and nose. Gasping, trying to land a couple of strikes against The Strange One. Green is unresponsive to the ref. The ref with little choice raises the arm of Green.


One


Two



Three.

The bell rings as "Welcome to the Masquerade" hits the PA system. Masquerade releases the hold and the crowd cheers. Masquerade rolls out of the ring while Green slowly stirs from the submission hold.

Dawson: Try as he might, Doc Green was just not successful tonight.

Sharper: He had a great showing but came short, The One Man Thrill Ride found an opening and took this match to an end.

Dawson: Masquerade bided his time perfectly.

Kayl: Guess the Tour De Mask is continuing tonight.

 

Masquerade then starts to come up to his feet. He then looks around. He then turns and asks for a microphone. He slowly catches his breath as he walks over to the ropes and Jason Phillips hands him the microphone. Masquerade takes it before turning and looking over to the entrance way.

 

Masquerade: “Oh Sasha! You didn’t forget about the other crazy cat from Karnivale, did you? I mean you gave Shilo such a nice gift, AND near his birthday, I figured I gotta be next on the Christmas card list!”

 

Masquerade just smiles as he walks over towards the ropes nearest the entrance way.

 

Masquerade: “No...nothing....well, then just listen. Since it seems that Shilo is going to get his chance to make things right on the second night of Riding the Lightning....I realized that maybe...just maybe Greg Cherry won’t win. Now, I don’t know about you, but that US Championship may get really lonely not having people chasing after it after Shilo has had half the roster trying to take him out. But if you need someone to, you know...help Greg Cherry cope with a loss....perhaps putting a certain title on the line....I’d be happy....Happy to take him to the Masquerade!”

 

The crowd roars a bit as Masquerade just smirks.

 

Sharper: “Masquerade took on Kalis after Shilo did, is he doing the same with Greg?”

 

Dawson: “Or maybe he’s looking at the rankings. He’s right behind Greg and Shilo in the World Championship rankings. He may be seeing his chance on the horizon!”

 

Kayl: “But he may not see this! Look out!”

 

Just then, Travis Green, bloodied and a bit dazed, gets up behind Masquerade and jumps up and boots him in the back of the head. Masquerade drops and Green rolls over and looks at him. He then smiles before dropping down and rolling to the floor. He starts to back away as Masquerade starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “That young man has a lot of rage. But he took a fight to Masquerade and we’ll be seeing plenty from him.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah, but what about Masquerade...Green may have just given him a notice that he’s not done with him.”

The scene opens up backstage and we see Saber at the end of a hallway, with the cameraman at the opposite end, only barely being able to make out the two figures. Saber can be seen trying to drag Ducky off with his arm around her throat, but Ducky bites him. Saber then turns and grabs her by the throat with his hand and pushes her against the wall. We then heard maniacal laughing before Saber just looks Ducky. Ducky then leans forward and licks Saber in the face.

 

Ducky: “Hooohhahaaaaahoooohaheeeha!”

 

Saber: “Crazy bitch...”

 

Saber then back hands her only for Ducky to fall to her knees. She then turns and reaches up and grabs Saber by the throat.

 

Ducky: “You son of a bitch! You want to take on me! You don’t know the first thing about crazy!”

 

Ducky then goes to keep pushing him back, but Saber kicks her in the ribs before turning and throwing her down to the floor. We then see Anthony Wallace and a couple of officials run past the camera before we see Saber grabbing Ducky and lifting her up and then noticing Wallace before we see Dillusion running behind the group, Hallucigen right after him. Ducky throws her back into the wall and she hits hard before just sliding down. Saber turns and runs off as officials immediately go over to Ducky and then we see Wallace go over to her. The cameraman starts to run towards the group as well, causing a very shaky picture. Dillusion stops just watching him run off as Ducky can be then see just crying, bawling almost.

 

Wallace: “Shhh....it’s okay, doll. It’s okay....”

 

Dillusion just glares at Saber as Wallace looks up to Dillusion.

 

Wallace: “You need to end this Dillusion.....or else I will.”

 

Dillusion turns back to Wallace and just smirks.

 

Dillusion: “With pleasure.”

 

Dillusion just continues to watch the hallway as the camera turns to see no one there. The officials continue to check on Ducky, as does Wallace as the scene fades to black.

Shawn Winters vs. Hallucigen

 

“You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” plays throughout the arena as the crowd starts to come to their feet cheering. A few moments pass and the SCW Underground Champion walks out from the back and spins around before holding up the SCW Underground Championship. He then looks out and nods before starting to walk down to the ring. He makes his way down and slides in before hopping up and throwing the title into the air and jumping up. He then looks around and nods before turning and placing the title under his corner.

 

Sharper: “Hallucigen managing to get past Brittany Lohan at Retribution. Despite Lohan being the favourite, Hallucigen went against the odds.”

 

Kayl: “Drove her, using his knees, through a glass table. Talk about making an impact.”

 

The crowd is silent as the sound of a woman climaxing is heard "OH OH SHHAAAWWWNN!" "I'm So Paid" by Akon follows.

 

"I get in 'til the sun rise

Goin' 90 in a 65

Windows rolled down screamin' "Ah!"

Hey-ey-ey, I'm so paid"

 

The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as Shawn Winters walks out from behind the curtain. Charlie Laurio can be seen looking completely shocked and saddened, fake crying as Shawn Winters stumbles down to his knees, holding his wrists out, showing copious amounts of what looks to be blood coming from them and dripping onto the stage. He looks out before falling to the stage and then reaching out before rolling over and getting to his knees. He looks up as Charlie just looks away, almost in hysterics.

 

Dawson: “What in the world....”

 

Sharper: “Oh man...don’t tell me. Don’t tell me he’s going there.”

 

Kayl: “Did he do what I think he did?”

 

Shawn Winters starts to walk towards the ring before dropping to his knees and rolling over and yelling out. The cameraman starts to walk up the rampway and goes to him. Charlie Laurio just continues to turn away as Winters looks up and the cameraman picks up his speech.

 

Winters: “Oh god. The world is for the strong. I am so weak. Goodbye cruel world for I am not World Champion. Oh god....damn it...It’s on my tights! My tights damn it!”

 

Winters starts to get up and Laurio then walks over. She then holds onto his wrist. The “blood” continues to pump, obviously as Laurio presses down, causing a high level of blood to pour out from his wrists. Winters just pretends to get lightheaded and almost falls forward before stumbling over and then going to the ringside area and falling onto the mats. He then looks around.

 

Winters: “Oh no...I think I’m hallucinating. I see LSD or something in the ring. Oh, there’s Christy Matthews. Her talent. She thinks she matters. Oh! And there’s Infamous! It’s magical! Charlie. I wish you could just kill me now so I wouldn’t have to see this horrifying visual!”

 

The crowd starts to boo as many figure out what he’s doing. Shawn Winters turns and grabs onto the ring apron, slowly pulling himself up, staining the ring cover and the side of the ring with his “blood.” Charlie Laurio then walks over and pulls out some paper towel from her pockets and starts to hold Winter’s wrists as the boos come from all over. Hallucigen is finally shown in the ring just shaking his head. Winters just smirks as Laurio seems to clean him up before he hops onto the apron, his music still playing throughout the arena. He then enters the ring before looking around and then turning and running at Hallucigen. Hallucigen covers up a bit before Winters nails him with a hard right and then another as the crowd starts to boo more and the bell sounds.

 

Sharper: “And Winters with this despicable act after what we saw with Christy Matthews...”

 

Dawson: “And he’s now going right after Hallucigen. Why not? Why not just piss everyone off?”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Matthews is pure. Come on. She’s Infamous.”

 

Dawson: “You’re going to question her here.”

 

Kayl: “I know. It’s just....”

 

Dawson: “Even people we hate have issues.”

 

Winters then kicks Hallucigen in the ribs before turning and whipping him across the ring and into the corner. Hallucigen hits hard and Winters walks towards him before hoisting him up and back dropping him over. Hallucigen gets back up and Winters turns and kicks him in the ribs before taking him over with a snap suplex. He then rolls over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

Hallucigen kicks out. He turns and starts to look up when Winters grabs him and locks him in a reverse chinlock. He pulls back as Hallucigen winces and Winters smirks. The crowd boos as Winters then drives his elbow into his shoulder blade and Hallucigen winces before Winters locks back in the reverse chinlock.

 

Sharper: “Winters in control here. He went right after the SCW Underground Champion to start off the match.”

 

Dawson: “And Hallucigen has really been focusing on the Underground Championship. He hasn’t had a chance to really focus outside of that and on someone as skilled as Winters until tonight.”

 

Kayl: “Well Harrison.”

 

Sharper: “Harrison would like to think he’s there. But I think Winters and Harrison would probably think differently about their similarities!”

 

Winters pulls back and Hallucigen turns and Winters continues to hold on until Hallucigen gets to his knees. He then turns and elbows Winters in the ribs. He elbows him again before then turning and kneeing Winters in the jaw. Winters falls back and then starts to get back up. Hallucigen turns and kicks him in the ribs before jumping up and hitting a double knee to the jaw. Winters falls to his knees. Hallucigen then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and takes Winters down with a high knee. The crowd cheers and Hallucigen looks out to them.

 

Sharper: “And Hallucigen starting to turn it around here.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, well keep on the man. Don’t play to the crowd.”

 

Winters starts to get up and Hallucigen turns back to him. He then knees him in the chest before rearing back and kneeing him again. Winters winces and Hallucigen clubs him in the back. Winters falls to his knees and Hallucigen turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and attempts a running knee, but Winters sidesteps him. He then turns and Hallucigen turns around only for Winters to lift him up and hit a backbreaker. Hallucigen winces in pain and Winters gets up and drops an elbow. He then gets back up as Hallucigen stirs. Winters then grabs him and spins him around and drops him with a neckbreaker. He then pulls himself up before turning and running into the ropes. He bounces off them and hits a knee drop to the face of Hallucigen. Hallucigen rolls over and Winters just gets up. He smirks as he looks around before the crowd roars and we see Pete Ebdon starting to walk out from the back. He takes a few steps and Winters notices this and looks over. Ebdon continues to make his way down to the ring, looking less than pleased. Winters just points to his wrist before pretending to be light-headed again and smiling.

 

Sharper: “Pete Ebdon is out here and obviously, he’s taking offense to some of the antics of Shawn Winters earlier in his entrance.”

 

Dawson: “Do you blame him? That was one of the most untasteful things I’ve ever see Winters do!”

 

Winters just smirks before Ebdon runs up to the ring and jumps onto the apron. Winters just smiles and turns and attempts the Kiss the Sky, but Ebdon dodges and drops back down. Winters just smiles and mocks Ebdon before turning around and Hallucigen jumps up and nails him with a running knee to the jaw. Ebdon smiles as he backs away and Hallucigen turns around as Winters starts to get up. Hallucigen quickly kicks him in the ribs before hooking him by the head and hoisting him up and then dropping him down onto his knee with the Nice to Knee Ya’. The crowd ohs and Hallucigen turns and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers and Ebdon smiles before backing up. Winters rolls over, holding his head in pain as Hallucigen gets up and has his arm raised.

 

Dawson: “How about that? Infamous was against Hallucigen with Lohan challenging him at Retribution and tonight, Pete Ebdon of Infamous helping Hallucigen out!”

 

Kayl: “Different circumstances, but again, Infamous shows that they will do whatever they need to do to make their point known. Shawn Winters just found that out!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer for Hallucigen as he walks over and grabs his Underground Championship. He holds it up as Shawn Winters rolls over and stirs. Ebdon starts to back up towards the back and then turns around before continuing to the back. Charlie Laurio enters the ring to check on Winters as Hallucigen continues to celebrate and we then go backstage.

The scene opens backstage and the crowd cheers as we see Jessica Winters standing next to Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent at the SCW interview area. Shilo just smiles as Jessica turns to them.

 

Jessica: “I’m here with Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent and in a few moments, you’ll be facing off against individuals you know very well in Dark Fantasy, but first off, allow me to get your thoughts on the big match you’re going to be involved in at Riding the Lightning.”

 

Shilo: “Sure...but first.....HELLO NECROPHILIACS AND JUNKIES! It seems that you and I don’t have to worry about the return of the Tour de Necro. Instead, it seems that we’re going to have a chance to do something more. Not to say that the United States Championship isn’t anything. That’s what I want and I will get it back, but I get the nice bonus of the World Championship as well. A title I have had my eyes on for a while and no one is going to turn down a chance at it. And that’s how it’s going to be. Now, Greg, I know all about you, and you know that if you win, I’m going to do all I can to get back my title and win the big one, but with that said....I guess you’ll have to come up with a different spiel for your motivation because if we clash, you’ll have already won the World Championship...but we’ll get to that then.”

 

Shilo pauses for a moment.

 

Shilo: “Allow me to briefly just wish my best of luck to David Helms. Because honestly, I wouldn’t mind going after you and giving you a hell of a fight too. But I’m not going to really care who I face on that second night. I’m going to be coming to entertain and make some noise. And if that noise involves me bringing home one title or maybe two, either way, it will be a good night and it will be for your entertainment!”

 

Jessica then turns to Marina.

 

Marina: “And Dark Fantasy....just get ready....because he’s on top of the world....I’m just not in the best of moods.....either way....the Black Swan is going to take out the bottled blonde and the woman who’s standards lower by the week. I may not be done with Katie Steward...but I’m certainly not done with either of you two either....”

 

Shilo just smiles.

 

Shilo: “Necro!”

 

Shilo and Marina then turn and walk off. Jessica Winters turns back to the camera.

 

Jessica: “Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent will go at it against Dark Fantasy when we return! Breakdown continues after this!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

Dark Fantasy vs. Midnight Boulevard

 

The lights around the arena dim leaving the spotlights focused on the stage. “I Made It” by Kevin Rudolf hits the PA system as the spotlights begin to flash and switch between white and pink and the screens come to life.

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


After a few moments the curtains part and Autumn Valentine, Ravyn Taylor and Syren make their way out on the stage. Ravyn and Syren are wearing matching pink ring jackets while Syren has the SCW Women's title around her waist and Autumn has on a leather jacket with the letters “DF” on the back. She spins around, showing the back of the jacket to the crowd before ducking down in front of Syren and Ravyn who pose back to back, with Syren blowing a kiss to the crowd. The crowd begin to boo as the trio make their way to the ring, with Syren and Ravyn joining arms as they do so. Autumn slides in under the bottom rope while Ravyn climbs the ring steps and Syren leaps up on to the apron, ducking under the middle rope and wiggling her ass to the crowd to tease the fans. Once inside the ring Syren and Ravyn climb the turnbuckles, posing on the middle turnbuckles while Autumn poses on the ropes in between them, holding out her hands to point at the other two Dark Fantasy members as both Ravyn and Syren pose with Syren singing along to the lyrics, specifically the line “I Made It”. Syren removes the Women's title from around her waist, holding it up above her head proudly and pointing to it before flipping off the ropes athletically as all three girls gather in the corner. Ravyn and Syren kiss and the fans let out a little cheer mixed in with a lot of boos. Ravyn collapses to a seated position in the corner fanning herself with her hand as Syren ducks down beside her and Autumn stands alongside the others.

 

Sharper: “A long night if you’re Infamous, but one not quite over. Ravyn Taylor and Syren, Dark Fantasy, teaming up here tonight against Karnivale members, Marina Trent and Shilo Valiant.”

 

Dawson: “Huge main event. And we’ve heard how Ravyn Taylor wants that World Tag Team Championship shot.”

 

Kayl: “Shilo’s got his World Championship shot. Maybe a US Championship shot. Marina Trent was so close to a shot at Syren’s title. They’re going to be thinking about things there too.”

 

NECRO!

If I had you!

The familiar shout of the female’s “NECRO!” is heard as the fans jump to their feet in anticipation as “If I had you” by Adam Lambert plays throughout the arena. The words of ecstasy and darkness fill their ears as a flood of fog fills the rampway, allowing the shifting, shooting beams of green, red, yellow, and blue lights to be caught.

There’s a thin line, between a wild time and a flat line. Baby Tonight!
It’s a struggle, GOTTA RUMBLE!
Trying to find it!
BUT IF I HAD YOU!

As the words reach their crescendo, the familiar figures of The Hobgoblin/Necro-Merchant and The True Queen/Black Swan emerge slowly from under the fog, Shilo Valiant standing tall behind his soul-mate, an arm wrapped passionately around her waist. Marina Trent responds in kind with an arm wrapped around her lover’s neck. The two take a moment to look around at the crowd as their makeup, sparkles and streaks, illuminate in the lights. Slowly, Shilo lifts his free over his hand, showing the blue illumination in his hand. Marina releases Shilo to reveal two glowing vials hidden within her outfit. The fans shout loudly the familiar word of “NECRO” as Shilo slowly drinks the concoction. With a fist pumped into the air, Shilo screams the word back in response as a few streaks of blue fireworks fire upward from behind them. Releasing Marina, the two head down the ramp but immediately veer in opposite directions. With his needle guns out and loaded, Shilo delivers the drug to the fans that crave it, accepting their money as compensation, while Marina seductively hands the vials to other wishing customers.

Eventually, the two reach the ring and Shilo slides in, turning his body as he enters to look at Marina. The Queen, not to be outdone, pulls herself up onto the ropes and turns to face the rampway, her movements very sensual in nature, which does not go unnoticed by anyone. With a quick jump, Marina flips over the rope backwards and into the ring. Sharing a look and a smile, Shilo and Marina approach and jump on their opposite turnbuckles, Marina gesturing with her hands her ever-famous “kiss of the queen” gesture, while Shilo performs his “finger-gun” taunts. The lights return to normal after the neon attack as the pair await the start of the match.

 

Dawson: “Marina Trent and Shilo Valiant, Midnight Boulevard, about to take on the former World Tag Team Champions.”

 

Kayl: “And after earlier, I’m wondering what Marina and Syren think of each other. No love lost there, but both hate Katie Steward. I can tell you many reasons WHY!”

 

The bell sounds and Ravyn Taylor stays in the ring as Syren steps out. Syren rubs Ravyn’s back a bit as Shilo and Marina turn to each other and Marina tells Shilo to get out of the ring. Shilo happily obliges and Marina turns around. Ravyn runs across the ring to nail Marina with a clothesline, but Marina ducks and spins around. Ravyn stops before going into the MB corner before being nailed with a Marina forearm. Marina hits another forearm as the crowd roars. Ravyn falls to the ropes and Marina chops her in the chest. The crowd woos. She then grabs Ravyn and whips her into the ropes. Ravyn however jumps to the middle rope and dives back with an attempted crossbody, but Marina ducks and Ravyn hits the mat. Marina immediately hits a standing moonsault onto Ravyn before hooking the leg.

Ravyn kicks out and Marina rolls over. The crowd ohs and Ravyn starts to get up. Marina walks over and grabs her and kicks her hard in the chest causing Ravyn to fall back to the corner. Marina then walks after her only for Ravyn to reach up and rake her eyes. Marina staggers back as Ravyn walks along the ropes and tags in Syren.

 

Kayl: “Of course. Going for the eyes. Going for the shortcut.”

 

Sharper: “And she tags in the SCW Women’s Champion to go against Marina and these two have had some classic matches in the past!”

 

Syren enters the ring and Marina turns to her, rubbing her eyes and Syren clotheslines her down. Marina starts to get up and Syren grabs her before throwing her over with a vertical suplex. She then gets up and drops a leg across the head of Marina. She follows up with a pin.

Marina kicks out. She starts to get up and Syren grabs her and turns her around before lifting her up. She follows up with a kick to the ribs before running into the ropes. She bounces off them and jumps up onto the back of Marina, looking for a leg hook sunset bomb, but Marina holds her and then drops down to a seated position with a facebuster. The crowd ohs and Marina rolls over before sitting up, pulling on the legs.

Ravyn kicks Marina in the side of the head and she falls over. She then starts to get up as Syren pulls herself up. Marina tags in Shilo and Shilo springboards to the top rope and hits a flying clothesline on the Women’s Champion.

 

Sharper: “And in comes Shilo Valiant, taking down Syren.”

 

Dawson: “The man who will face the World Champion on Riding the Lightning, Night Two. He’s going right after Syren here tonight!”

 

Syren starts to get back up and Shilo turns and hooks her up from behind and drops her with a reverse DDT. The crowd cheers and Shilo turns and hooks the leg.

Syren kicks out. She then rolls over as the crowd sighs. Shilo walks over and stomps her in the back of the head. He then grabs her and lifts her up before dragging her to her feet. He then snapmares her over before running into the ropes. Shilo attempts a running boot, but Syren rolls out of the way. Shilo stops and turns to Syren and Syren jumps up and hits a dropkick. Shilo gets back up and Syren jumps up again and hits a spinning heel kick, knocking Shilo back down. Shilo starts to get up and Syren then turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off them and Shilo moves forward and lifts her up and just launches her into the air before causing her to fall to the mat. Shilo follows up with a pin.

Syren gets her shoulder up. The crowd ohs. Shilo then grabs Syren and turns before tagging Marina back up. Shilo then hits a twisting snap suplex before rolling out of the way and Marina springboards to the top rope and hits a swanton bomb onto Syren. The crowd cheers and Marina turns around and goes for the pin.

Ravyn pulls her off. The crowd ohs and Marina glares at Ravyn before turning back to Syren.

 

Sharper: “Nice double-team move there as Marina using her agility to do some more damage.”

 

Kayl: “Too bad it’s not on Ravyn. Could use seeing her get her ass handed to her for a bit.”

 

Marina turns and grabs Syren and starts to lift her up. She nails her with a forearm before whipping her into the ropes. Syren bounces off the ropes and Marina jumps up and hits a leg lariat. She then gets up and runs into the ropes, but Ravyn pulls down on the top rope and Marina goes up and over to the floor. She hits hard and the crowd boos. Ravyn Taylor just smirks as Shilo drops down and starts to walk around. Ravyn points this out to the referee and the referee exits to the floor before Ravyn walks up to Marina, behind the referee and kicks her hard in the ribs. The crowd ohs and Ravyn then grabs her and turns and rolls her into the ring. Ravyn hops onto the apron before Shilo backs away. The referee turns back to the ring and Syren lifts Marina up and holds her before tagging in Ravyn. Syren then spins Marina around before holding onto her legs and pulling her up in a wheelbarrow. She hoists her up and Ravyn grabs Marina by the head and drops her down with a cutter. The crowd ohs and Syren rolls out of the ring. Ravyn rolls Marina over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

Shilo enters and Ravyn just gets off of Marina and points him out to the referee. The referee turns and Shilo backs up. Ravyn then grabs Marina and knees her in the side of the head before dragging her up.

 

Dawson: “Double-team of another kind there and Ravyn showing that she’s thinking a bit ahead. She knew Shilo would come in.”

 

Kayl: “Basic strategy. Stop making her out to be a genius for doing something anyone in a tag match should be doing!”

 

Ravyn turns and throws Marina into the corner. Ravyn then kicks her in the ribs and nails her with a back elbow. Marina winces and Ravyn then grabs her and whips her across the ring. Marina hits the other corner and stumbles out and Ravyn grabs her and hits a jawbreaker before pulling her in for a short-arm clothesline. Ravyn then looks at Shilo and smirks before she grabs Marina and lifts her up again. Ravyn then vertical suplexes her over and floats-over for the pin.

Marina kicks out. Ravyn grabs her and lifts her up before kneeing her in the ribs. Ravyn then whips her into the ropes. Marina bounces off the ropes and Ravyn goes to lift her up, but Marina flips through and lands on her feet. Marina then hits a front dropkick, knocking Ravyn forward and into the ropes. The crowd cheers and Marina rolls over and looks at Shilo. Shilo sticks out his arm and Marina then crawls over. Ravyn pulls herself off the ropes only to see Marina tag in Shilo. Shilo enters the ring as the crowd roars. Ravyn gets up and Shilo runs over and clotheslines her down. He then turns and runs at Syren and forearms her off the apron. Ravyn gets back up and Shilo quickly jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick, knocking her back down. Ravyn pops back up and Shilo kicks her in the ribs before he hooks her arm and spins around and spikes her with a brainbuster.

 

Sharper: “Oh! What a brainbuster! Spiked Ravyn Taylor in the middle of the ring!”

 

Kayl: “Ah, that was beautiful! BEAUTIFUL!”

 

Dawson: “We could be seeing the beginning of the end here. Midnight Boulevard is cooking thanks to Shilo shifting the momentum here!”

 

Shilo then looks around before Syren rolls into the ring. Shilo then runs over and kicks her in the ribs. Shilo glances back before taking her over with a snap suplex onto Ravyn. He then turns as Marina springboards to the top rope and hits a corkscrew senton onto Ravyn and Syren. The crowd roars and Shilo then rolls Syren off of Ravyn and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ravyn shoots her shoulder up. The crowd ohs and Shilo looks up. Marina then grabs at Syren and starts to lift her up before dragging her across the ring and ironically into the Dark Fantasy corner. Shilo then grabs Ravyn and starts to lift her up before boos come from all over. Shilo locks in a cobra clutch, seemingly going for the Morning Star.

 

Dawson: “He’s going for the Morning Star! This is the same move that won most of the US Championship defences!”

 

Sharper: “Wait! Wait a minute! Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler! Gunner Wayne! The World Tag Team Champions!”

 

Before Shilo can hoist Ravyn up, Chad Evans and Katelyn enter the ring with Wayne behind them. Chad nails Shilo in the back of the head with the World Tag Team Championship title before Katelyn runs over and nails Marina in the back of the head too with her title. She drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring as Syren stumbles forward. Katelyn just looks at her and yells at her before nailing her with another shot. Shilo starts to get up after his first shot and Gunner Wayne enters the ring and Chad throws Ravyn into the ropes. Chad then looks at her and smirks before Wayne lifts Shilo up and drops him down with the Kill. The crowd ohs and Shilo is laid out in the ring. Chad then smiles as he hands Wayne his title before grabbing Ravyn Taylor by the hair and pulls her back. The crowd starts to roar and Chad then throws her down before hooking both of her legs. Chad then turns her over, locking in the Levity in the middle of the ring on Ravyn Taylor. Taylor starts to yell in pain and after a few moments actually starts to tap out in the middle of the ring. The crowd starts to roar, making all kinds of noise. Syren meanwhile is on her back as Katelyn mounts her, hammering away at her with hard shots. The crowd boos as Chad keeps the hold on for a few moments.

 

Sharper: “Shilo dropped on his head. Katelyn hammering on Syren! Chad Evans has Ravyn Taylor locked in the Levity!”

 

Dawson: “They have taken out Karnivale and Dark Fantasy!”

 

Officials come out before we see Masquerade starting to jog out and Lucas Knight and Ryan Watson too. Chad lets go and backs up as Katelyn then looks over and gets off of Syren. Masquerade goes around the ring, to Marina as Gunner Wayne stands in the middle of the ring. Lucas and Watson just look in as officials just get into the ring to keep the Gospel away from all the downed members of both teams.

 

Dawson: “The Gospel making a statement.”

 

Kayl: “Not only are they the World Tag Team Champions, they are the top of the tag team ladder! Whether you like it or not!”

 

Sharper: “But will that be the same after next Breakdown when they defend against the former champions, Stacy Kissinger and Gable Winchester?!”

 

The crowd continues to roar as Katelyn and Chad hold their titles over their heads. The crowd continues to go crazy as Masquerade helps Marina up and Shilo stirs a bit. Officials check on Syren and Ravyn and by now Lucas has entered the ring to check on Syren  as Watson checks on Ravyn. The scene continues for a moment before we go backstage.

The scene opens backstage as “Rescue Me” plays throughout the background. The crowd cheers as we see Thorn walking down the hallway with Kassie Khane and Harmony Fisher.

 

Sharper: “Oh boy! Things are fixing to pick up here. Thorn is on his way to the ring and he doesn’t look too pleased.”

 

Dawson: “After what we saw earlier, I’m not surprised. But what’s he going to say?”

 

Kayl: “Or do?!”

 

Thorn continues on his way down the hallway as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

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

WHEN THE SUPERMEN FALL

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

AND THE MASSES CALL FOR A SAVIOUR

The background sounds continue, then more words.

I ANSWER THE CALL…

The screen goes black and there is silence now before a buzzer sounds for a brief few seconds and then…

THORN BY NAME, ANARCHISTIC BY NATURE

and then after a brief pause finally.

HERO NO MORE?

The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thorn in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. Thomas Valentine's voice can be heard echoing around the arena

 

“You don‘t quite like how I operate? Get the hell over it!”

The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Higinia” by Blessthefall blasts out before phasing out and replaced by a modified version of “Sticks And Bricks” by A Day To Remember.

“I AM FUELLED BY ALL THOUGHTS OF FAILURE”

A shot of Thorn going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas.

“I PAID THE PRICE SO I’LL TAKE WHAT’S MINE!”

A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before the song kicks in completely.

The lights flicker back on and Thorn can be seen on top of the arena's ramp, Harmony Fisher and Kassie Khane by his side as he looks out into the audience that are cheering loudly, chanting in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands, fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he spins one hundred and eighty degrees and resumes walking down to the ring again.

“BET YA DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMIN’ CAUSE I DO AS I PLEASE AND APOLOGISE FOR NOTHING! MY TIME IS FLYING BUT I’M STILL SECOND TO NONE, ALWAYS SHINING BRIGHTEST WHEN I’M PLACED UNDER THE GUN. SO HERE I STAND, THE ONLY SON OF A WORKING CLASS MAN, I WON’T BE HELD BACK, I CAN’T BE HELD DOWN!”

As he walks past the barrier he looks out casually into the crowds and high fives a few of the outstretched palms as Harmony pats him on the back and proceeds to look on with an admiring expression on her face, waving to the odd fan that catches her attention before halting at the side of the ring as Thorn slides underneath the ropes and walks over to Jason Phillips. Kassie Khane and Harmony Fisher enter the ring and walk around as Thorn is handed the microphone.

 

Kayl: “Well we’re going to hear from him. I know he can’t be happy. Hell, I’m not even happy.”

 

Sharper: “And judging by Thorn’s response earlier, he’s not exactly buying Zero’s explanation.”

 

Thorn looks around as he brings the microphone up to his mouth and then looks out at the crowd.

 

Thorn: “Needless to say I stand here on Breakdown, not exactly the happiest guy in the locker room.”

 

The crowd buzzes a bit.

 

Thorn: “I had my opportunity to take CHBK and destroy him in front of the world. I had a chance to take out all of the frustrations of myself, Kassie Khane, Donovan, you at ringside, anyone in the back that was affected by the actions of that son of a bitch.”

 

Thorn pauses for a moment.

 

Thorn: “And I had him, writhing in pain, bleeding all over this canvas. I was going to finish him off once and for all and instead, instead, some asshole who thinks that he is God’s gift to SCW comes out here, not only spears him, but then drops him on my head on a chair and let’s that slippery son of a bitch, not only win, but get off from the pain and suffering he was owed. Now I know that some people may not have cared for my actions since I returned at Gang Rulz, but one thing I made clear is I always left it in this damn ring and instead, we have Jason Zero, a man who wants the entire world to gravitate around him unnecessarily involve himself in MY business.”

 

Thorn pauses as the crowd boos.

 

Thorn: “Now Zero, I don’t think I need to go down the clichéd path of telling you what a stupid mistake that was. But there was one thing I DO need to point out to you. I will deal with you later, but until then, I am going to force you to realize that you’re not as special as you think and that is by showing the world that I am going to be the one to make CHBK pay for his actions. You’re not going to play the saviour as there is nothing that needs to be saved. Unless you count whatever is left of CHBK. And this time, I’m not asking for another match, because honestly, if what has been said is true, then who cares? CHBK may be able to snake out of it. Instead, I’m going to make a promise.”

 

The crowd cheers a bit.

 

Thorn: “See, I’m not going to worry about getting you in the ring anymore. I already know that there’s too many ways you’ll try to run, or you’ll try to justify snaking out....and add Infamous and Zero....I’m sick of trying and failing. Some people are going to say that this is against everything I stand for. It would if I didn’t give you fair warning though. Because I am going to make sure I get my hands on you and succeed in doing what I want and that is teach you the lesson, not of a wrestling lifetime, but instead just remind you that if you push someone, they push back and in my case, I’m sick of being pushed around. So look over your shoulder....double-lock your door....because if you don’t care about rules, why should I? Because at some point, I guarantee it, that horseshoe isn’t going to be up your ass anymore and it isn’t going to be used to beat and bloody you.”

 

The crowd roars as Thorn turns and looks right into the camera. Kassie Khane just watches Thorn.

 

Kayl: “Oh I’ll join you in that one. I’ll even bring the Kayl TV cameras to tape it!”

 

Thorn starts to back up before “This is How a Heart Breaks” starts to echo throughout the arena. The crowd boos as Thorn, Kassie and Harmony turn to the entrance way. A few moments pass and CHBK walks out from the back. He looks at Thorn and smirks. He remains at the top of the entrance way, microphone in hand. He then looks down as his music starts to fade out.

 

Thorn: “Come on down here. Let’s just save the time.”

 

CHBK just smirks.

 

CHBK: “Thorn....how desperate are you going to keep getting?”

 

The crowd boos.

 

CHBK: “See you can come out here and talk about how you’re going to do what Jason Zero claims he’ll do to me. The only difference there is that Zero succeeded YEARS ago, you know...when he was challenging for the World Championship and not trying to mentor failures. Something that I guess myself and Chad Evans excel at...”

 

The crowd boos as Thorn just glares at CHBK.

 

CHBK: “But if you’re going to try and be Jason Zero. Go for it! I mean he’d have no problem hunting me in the back. Even at my condo in Toronto. Maybe he’d try to run me down in the parking lot. Is that how much this means to you? You’re going to hunt me down. You can’t get it done in the ring. This is exactly what I meant when I said that Infamous was what they claimed to be...the Next Level, the Brotherhood....well....they’re not.”

 

The crowd boos. CHBK just smirks again.

 

CHBK: “Sure you busted me open and yeah, I’ll admit, you gave me a bit of an ass-kicking, but Thorn, who cares that Jason Zero got involved? Zero hit me too. I still got up and covered you.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Kayl: “Yeah, he doesn’t note he got hit first and Thorn got hit harder!”

 

CHBK: “See, I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. You want to make it that personal. You want to give Kassie Khane her closure. You want to teach me a lesson. Then fine. Do it. Try to get me. So far, it seems like I’m miles ahead of you. I hope you can run fast to catch up!”

 

The crowd boos before we then hear “Rescue Me” start to play throughout the arena. The crowd buzzes a bit and CHBK glances back as Thorn continues to look at the entrance way. A few moments pass and we see Sasha Drachewych walk out from the back and just glare at CHBK before standing a few feet away from him.

 

Sharper: “The boss is out here. This is getting interesting.”

 

Sasha: “Alex....Thorn....I’m going to stop you both here. I can’t have SCW wrestlers going around and attacking each other wherever they happen to see fit.”

 

Sasha pauses as the crowd boos.

 

Sasha: “But as I say that, I’m not going to allow what happened in Retribution to just act as the end to this. You, Alex, are going to have to deal with Thorn in some way. Zero...I’ll deal with him too. Because I was listening to what both of you said and I don’t know why I didn’t think of this earlier. With Infamous, with Gable, Helms, Stacy, Harmony....and now Zero....it’s clear that too many people have too much riding on this all.”

 

Sasha pauses again as CHBK can be seen turning to Sasha, yelling “What?” at her.

 

Sasha: “That’s why we’re going to have one more match between the two of you. And before you say anything Alex...if you don’t show up, it’ll be counted as a forfeit...and I know you don’t want that. But we’re going to make sure that this ends. Thorn, you get what you want...and Alex...you win, Thorn has nothing more he can come at you for. But it will be one on one. At Riding the Lightning, Night Two.....you two will do battle....in the Thunderdome!”

 

The crowd roars with approval as Thorn just smiles as CHBK looks less than pleased. He just looks at Sasha before turning to Thorn.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! The Thunderdome returns at Riding the Lightning!”

 

Dawson: “No way for others to get in. Anything goes.”

 

Kayl: “The Heartbreaker’s gonna get his ass kicked!”

 

Sharper: “CHBK and Thorn, in the Thunderdome. Oh man. That’s going to be insane!”

 

“Sticks and Bricks” plays throughout the arena as CHBK continues to look less than pleased at the situation. Thorn just smiles as Sasha Drachewych turns and walks to the back. CHBK just continues to look at Thorn, glaring at him as Thorn’s smile continues. Kassie Khane and Harmony Fisher join in the smiling.

 

Sharper: “No getting out this time. CHBK and Thorn will be locked in the Thunderdome. Oh man. What a announcement. Riding the Lightning will be a night to remember....Two nights to remember. And we’re just getting started!”

 

The scene then slowly starts to fade to black, focusing on Thorn smiling in the ring...
