Breakdown - March 17, 2010

DARK MATCH:

Mike Harrison defeats Duke & Bryant the Impaler via pinfall

The SCW symbol comes onto the screen.

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

The scene then fades to black.

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Shilo Valiant, Blake Mason, Thorn & David Helms, Fred Debonair, Masquerade, Dark Triad 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 US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena for a few moments before we sweep down to ringside and the SCW announce team of Adam Sharper, Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the heart of the Southwest as we will experience the fallout from Retribution here tonight on Breakdown. I’m Adam Sharper alongside Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots and tonight, we will see Jake Starr enter that ring and face the new United States Champion, Christian Savior.”

Knots: “Savior did what he said he was going to do. And now, can he dethrone the champion by defeating him tonight. The title may not be on the line, but it damn well should be.”

Dawson: “But not only that, we’re going to see Josh Hudson in action tonight along with Jason Zero taking on Drew Weilacher. And with the moods Weilacher and Hudson may coming out of Retribution, Zero and Hudson’s opponent, one Billy Mitchell, may be regretting entering the ring.”

Sharper: “Of course, Josh Hudson failed to make CHBK tap, despite picking up the win. CHBK is here tonight. But of course, what most people are talking about. Jason Zero coming to the ring and counting the fall between Thorn and Starr after Drachewych made himself the referee and entered Greg Cherry into the match. What’s most shocking is that Jason Zero revealed an envelope with the K K seal that was shown to Sasha Drachewych.”

Dawson: “Who knows what that means...but I think we can read something into the fact that Jason Zero interjected himself as a referee in that match.”

Knots: “Probably just screwing people around like he usually does.”

“Cult of Personality” starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd starts to boo loudly as the spotlights focus on the entrance way. After a few moments, Mr. Drachewych walks out from the back and just continues on his way to the ring, with purpose.

Dawson: “And it looks like we’re going to get Drachewych’s side of this. Zero left the envelope with him.”

Sharper: “Well maybe we’ll get some answers, but somehow, I doubt they’ll be helpful.”

Drachewych walks over to the steel steps before walking along the apron and then entering the ring. He then walks over across the ring and then reaches through the ropes and is handed a microphone. He then turns around and starts to pace the ring, clearly unhappy. He then huffs into the microphone before starting.

Drachewych: “After the debauchery that occurred at Retribution, pardon me for not being in the mood to cater to your little boos and your little cusses that make you feel like big people.”

The crowd boos louder as Drachewych turns back to the entrance way.

Drachewych: “Because you see, I have been spending the last ten days working with my personal legal staff, consulting Matt Bishop...consulting my own damn files.....because of some K K who I can’t seem to be able to figure out. Because at Retribution, not only was I humiliated by Jason Zero who yet again, stuck his nose into Infection business...seemingly confirming my own suspicions that he can’t get over the fact that Infection is doing better without him than with him....and cost Greg Cherry the World Championship...but Zero also performed a direct affront to my power within this company.”

The crowd cheers as Drachewych turns and glares at the crowd.

Drachewych: “Oh don’t you guys even start....”

Drachewych pauses and turns back to the entrance way.

Drachewych: “Because what was inside that letter that he provided me is something I am not pleased with. It is a stone I felt I turned over years ago and well, I am not happy that Jason Zero has it.”

Suddenly “Rescue Me” plays throughout the arena and the crowd gives a mixed reaction before starting to cheer as Sasha Drachewych walks out from the back with a microphone in her hand. She walks out a few steps and just looks at the ring and smirks. She then shakes her head.

Sasha: “Dad....I can’t even believe that you’re making that speech right now. You, the one who always seemingly has a plan is one, actually shocked by something and two....well you’re complaining about something that you’ve been doing to me since the very start!”

The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “She’s right there.”

Knots: “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Sasha: “See, I’m not shocked that you tried to do what you did at Retribution. You played your games and they cost you again. Again, you failed to succeed. Again, you failed. Why can’t you just admit that maybe I’m doing something right. And continuing on that note, I’m surprised that you’re being so vocal about the information you have. Because if you and I have the same information...but more importantly the same conclusion...it’s amazing that you’re not allowing this to unfold on your own terms. Because dad, if it’s what I think, and I think you think....it’s going to undermine me a bit...oh yeah....but it’s going to undermine you a whole lot more. So because I actually have some care about not only my family, but MY company, sound guys.....turn off his mic.”

Knots: “What?”

Drachewych: “Wha-“

Drachewych suddenly can’t be heard via the microphone. Sasha Drachewych then just shakes her head as Drachewych glares. Suddenly the opening guitar riffs are heard leading into "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin. The crowd starts to boo as the opening line is heard. Sasha turns around, quickly nervous as Drachewych smirks a bit and Greg Cherry walks out from the back. He looks at Sasha as she slowly backs away along the stage. Greg then turns away and starts to make his way down to the ring. The crowd continues to boo as Greg walks over to the ring and up the steel steps.

Dawson: “Greg Cherry is out here and after giving a look of death to Sasha Drachewych, he’s going to the ring.”

Sharper: “He’s going to Mr. Drachewych. Why?”

Knots: “I’m still shocked that Sasha used so draconian measures to quiet her own father!”

Sharper: “Oh, stop it!”

Greg then walks along the apron before entering the ring. He looks at Drachewych as Drachewych shrugs, looking quite confused and says something to Greg only for Greg Cherry to suddenly kick him in the ribs. The crowd erupts in cheers before Greg hooks his arm and drives Drachewych down with the Pit Stop.

Sharper: “Oh my God!”

Knots: “No!”

Greg then sits up and looks over at Drachewych. He slowly starts to breathe heavier and heavier before fuming clearly. He then turns and grabs Drachewych by the head as Sasha looks on in shock at the top of the stage. Greg then pulls Drachewych up to his feet slowly. Drachewych looks nearly completely out of it. Greg then grabs his head and drops him down to the mat with the Cherry Pit. Greg then turns and looks at Drachewych and just continues to breathe heavier and heavier. Just then, we see officials starting to jog down from the back before seeing Drew Weilacher appear and jog down to the ring, followed by Bishop. Greg just stands in the ring, watching this mass of people run towards him. The officials enter the ring and step between Greg and Drachewych as Drew enters the ring. He runs over to Greg as Greg drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring. He then starts to slowly walk around the ring as Drew follows him in the ring. The crowd gives a hugely mixed reaction as Greg slowly and silently starts to make his way around the ring and towards the rampway. He then starts to make his way up the ramp as we go to commercials.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up at ringside with Adam Sharper, Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots looking at the camera. The crowd continues to buzz in the background as the Breakdown theme plays in the background.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and already a hell of a start to the show and very shocking start.”

Knots: “Ya think?”

Sharper: “We just saw Greg Cherry attack Mr. Drachewych without any words being spoken from him. Just pure rage.”

Dawson: “Is this the end of Infection tonight? Kissinger was taken out two weeks ago. Greg attacking Drachewych. Is he frustrated? Why is he doing this? All we know is that Infection seems to be very well imploding!”

Knots: “A horrible day for wrestling, if you ask me!”

Adam Riddick vs. Gable Winchester

The opening strains to “Everywhere I Go” start to echo around the arena as gold lighting starts to pulse around the arena. They begin to pulse to the beat of the introduction. Once the main verse starts, Gable Winchester walks from the back, nodding his head and moving his hands up and down in time to his theme song. The fans don’t know what to make of the man as he struts down the ramp. Once he gets to the barricade he looks out at the fans and shows that he isn’t too egotistical for the fans. Smiling he holds out his hand and allow people to high five him, slowly walking along. He stops a few people in and points to a younger woman in the crowd in approval. The woman puts her hands to her heart as Gable moves on. He continues his way around the ring, continuing to offer some high fives here and there before he nods his head a bit and spins round with his arms spread wide. The crowd is still at odds on whether to cheer before he shrugs at the lack of attention he is getting and goes to slide into the ring.

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, currently from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 198 pounds…Gable Wiiinchesterrrr!!!

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

Dawson: Well, it was a tough night at Retribution for Gable here. Let’s see if he can turn it around against slightly easier competition.

Knots: He doesn’t need or want easier competition. He’s slain Miller more than once. Miller just got lucky. That’s the story and I’m sticking to it!

Sharper: For the first time in a while, Jonathan actually has a bit of a point, albeit a very small one. He mostly had David Miller’s number and while his opponent tonight is coming off a victory at Retribution, it was against a struggling Chris Lawler.

Knots: Lawler’s not struggling. He’s just PATHETIC!

Dawson: Don’t let him hear you say that. Because I’ll point the finger right at you.

Knots: Go ahead…

The all-too-familiar piano begins to play. The lights slowly fade until there is nothing but darkness. A spotlight form of Adam Riddick appears on the screen, his head lowered. He's there for but a moment, but then disappears. The song continues.

"I stand accused before you / I have no tears to cry / and you will never break me / until the day I die."

A lone spotlight flashes across the arena and lands on the stage. Adam Riddick is standing within the spotlight, his head lowered. Slowly, he lifts his head and walks towards the ring as the song continues to play.

"A criminal mind is all I / all I ever known / they tried to reform me / but I'm made of cold stone"

Riddick stands before the ring, looking at the ominous structure. He stands there for a moment before hopping onto the ring apron with one knee, and dashing up the turnbuckle. The spotlight is still on him.

Phillips: And now entering the ring, his opponent, currently from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 195 pounds…he is the Renegade Rockerrrr…Adam Riddick!!!!!

"A criminal mind is all I / all I've ever had / ask one who's known me / if I'm really so bad"

With a smooth motion, Riddick takes off his sunglasses and opens his eyes. A smirk appears on his face as he looks at the audience.

"I am."

Riddick turns and smirks at Gable as Kassie Khane slowly comes out of the backstage area. She makes her way down to ringside to get a bird’s eye view of the matchup that’s about to take place. As she walks, the referee of the contest calls for the opening bell.

Knots: Well I guess Gable hasn’t seen Kassie yet, because he would have more than likely been staring at her by now.

Instead Gable is asking Adam for a tie-up in the middle of the ring. The two meet and quickly find that they are very evenly matched, both being lightweights. The two each take a step back and begin to circle one another before meeting up again. Again it’s pretty much a stalemate. When they go for it a third time, Gable uses the 4 inch height differential that he has to position himself a bit better. He is able to push Riddick back towards the ropes, however Riddick pushes back before Gable reverses and slips Riddick down to the canvas.

Dawson: It looks like we’re going to the mat early in this one.

Knots: This better not turn into a mat wrestling type of match. Those are more boring than watching paint dry! Or watching Jake Starr be our World Champion!

Sharper: You had to get in a cheap shot, didn’t you?

Knots: Always!

Gable immediately tries to grab for Riddick’s legs to lock in a leg lock but Riddick is able to sit up and kick Gable’s gut in, sending him to the canvas, belly up. Riddick quickly gets on top for an early pinfall attempt.

1!

Gable easily rolls his right shoulder, not exerting all that much energy. Gable uses a bit of speed now and rolls over and actually mounts Riddick, now beginning to blast him with a few fists to the forehead. Riddick starts to begin to block those, but this is when Gable surprises Riddick with a sudden European uppercut right to his jaw. Riddick’s head is shown lurching upwards a bit. The referee demands for Gable to get off of Riddick, which he does.

Dawson: Wow, that didn’t look pretty at all. Hopefully Adam knows where he’s at.

Sharper: I’m pretty sure he does. Much like he did to Lawler at Retribution, he should be able to recover and could very well pick up an all-important victory here.

Riddick makes his way to his feet and Gable nods his head, knowing for a fact that he has Adam Riddick’s attention. Gable fakes a move towards Riddick and Riddick actually buys it. Gable takes advantage of his fake-out by throwing himself right at Riddick, plowing him right into the ropes. Gable then takes Riddick’s right arm and whips him clear across the ring to the other side. Riddick ricochets off the ropes, but Gable steps forward and is able to catch the SCW veteran with a flying forearm smash. Riddick teeters but doesn’t fall over.

Dawson: He’s able to keep his feet about him…

Knots: Just a little bit of veteran qualities shining through, that’s all. That’s something he didn’t need to show against Lawler.

Sharper: Always dissing poor Chris. That man has been in this company for almost longer than anybody else. Definitely longer than you. You should really at least give him a few ounces of respect.

Knots: Nope. Not when someone like Fred Debonair has done more than Lawler in a few weeks than what Lawler’s done in a handful of years!

Gable goes for another smash, but Riddick this time ducks and Gable only catches the air. Riddick is now behind Gable and grabs a hold of Gable’s neck before bringing him down with a simple neckbreaker, right to the canvas.

Sharper: Another veteran move from Riddick, capitalizing on Gable’s inexperience.

Riddick goes for his second cover of the matchup.

1!

2!

Gable kicks out as a camera shot is shown of the lovely Kassie Khane as she watches the battle ensue between Adam and Gable. Both men rise up to their feet and this is when Gable quickly turns the tide. He reaches his foot out and connects to Adam’s jaw with quite the superkick!

Dawson: Wow! The House of Straw! That was a devastating kick right there and might have very well put the relative SCW newcomer into the catbird seat.

Gable looks down at Riddick’s downed body and showboats a bit, showing off some of his brashness and arrogance before finally making a cover.

1!

2!

Adam kicks out.

Knots: And it was his arrogance that stopped him from picking up the victory. At least Riddick’s a smart man and doesn’t do any of that crap!

Even though Riddick has avoided the loss here, Gable continues on the offensive as he bounces his own self off the ring ropes. Just as Riddick is coming to his feet, Gable connects with a clothesline knocking Riddick back to the canvas. Gable puts on his brakes and goes to scoop Adam Riddick up, looking to go for the Suicide Season, but Riddick rakes the eyes of Gable, unseen by the referee.

Dawson: Wow, desperation from Adam Riddick right there and Kassie saw it. She doesn’t seem to be too pleased about that!

Sharper: Yeah, that look on her face tells the whole story.

Riddick reassumes command and whips Gable hard into a corner. He then mounts that same turnbuckle and begins to lay into Gable with some serious chops to the abdomen that leave Gable writhing in pain after each one. The referee tells Adam to get back and he does, but only for a brief second before he suddenly steamrolls right in, ramming Gable’s back right into the corner. Gable feels for his back and Riddick takes advantage by lifting up Gable into a torture rack position on his shoulders. He holds him there and walks slowly into the center of the ring before unloading Gable with the Edge of Reason. Riddick folds Gable up like an accordion and pins him.

1!

Adam can sense that Gable is going to kick out so he places his feet up on to the nearest set of ropes for extra leverage.

2!

Kassie all of a sudden pushes Adam’s feet off of the ropes, allowing Gable to kick out right before the referee’s hand slaps the mat for the first time. The referee holds up 2 fingers in front of Riddick’s face, but he doesn’t seem to pay attention to that. He looks down and gives a questioning look to Kassie. Her face grows as white as a sheet but she doesn’t move from her position. Adam turns his attention back to Gable and just in time too. Gable is back up and goes to kick Riddick out of the ring. Riddick however ducks and catches Gable’s foot. Riddick turns that foot around and trips Gable up and gets him down to the canvas. From here he locks in a very tight looking sharpshooter. The crowd begins to amp up a bit as Gable grimaces quite a bit.

Dawson: This might end it right here.

Knots: Correction. This WILL end it right here!

Gable looks like he’s about to tap but he begins to work his way to the ropes. He gets close enough to them as Adam looks right out at Kassie now, seeing her. He yells at her to pull the ropes back so Gable can’t touch them, but Kassie shakes her head in the no direction.

Knots: Uh oh, Kassie should obey Adam’s orders. He’s done quite a lot for her supposedly over the years.

Sharper: It’s the lady’s choice with what she wants to do. And so far, she has made sure that this match has a clean finish, not a dirty one. I applaud her for that.

Dawson: As do I.

Gable finally reaches out and grabs hold of the bottom rope. The referee orders Adam to release the hold which isn’t let go of right away. So the referee begins his 5 count.

1!

2!

3!

4!

…

Just before 5, Adam lets go. Gable rolls away in pain as Adam now takes another gander at Kassie, acting as if he’s about to berate her. The crowd doesn’t know what to think as Gable tries to get his wits about him. He sees what’s going on over by the ropes. Kassie points behind Adam, reminding him that he has an opponent to tend to. Adam turns in time to avoid getting his feet taken out from under him. Adam just shakes his head, looks down at Ms. Khane one more time, before he goes for a second Edge of Reason on Gable. He connects it with much ferocity, way more than the first time.

The crowd ohs as do the announcers at the desk.

Knots: This one is in the books gentlemen…

The referee slides over as Riddick turns Gable over like he’s a rag doll and pins him. The referee repositions himself to check that Gable’s shoulders are fully pinned to the mat, which they are. Gable still struggles beneath Riddick as the referee counts, so Riddick again places his feet up on to the bottom rope.

1!

2!

Thr-

Kassie this time forcefully shoves Adam’s feet off the ropes and Adam stands up irate as SCW has possibly ever seen him. He points his finger down at Kassie, forgetting completely about Gable Winchester. Gable ceases this opportunity and pulls down Adam from behind. Adam is beside himself as he goes down and Gable rolls him into a small package. The referee counts it as the crowd in the arena is just stunned…

1!

2!

3!!!

Phillips: Here is your winner of the match…Gable Winchester!!!

The ladies in the crowd cheer as the referee goes to raise Gable’s left arm. Gable however falls to the mat and checks to make sure that his leg is okay. The referee helps him back to his feet and Gable celebrates his latest victory. Kassie Khane meanwhile backs up the rampway as “Everywhere I Go” fills the arena. Adam throws up his hands in disgust as Gable now rolls out of the ring. Adam’s cold, icy stare goes from Kassie to Gable and back to Kassie as we go backstage.

Breakdown cuts backstage and we see Marisa Condolesa standing next to Jason Zero backstage. Zero looks quite impatient as he taps his foot on the ground. Condolesa then turns to Zero as Zero then looks at the camera.

Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with the man that everyone seems to have questions about and well, I guess I’m going to ask the question Drachewych wanted to ask and the world wants to know. What did that envelope mean? Why were you involved at the Retribution World Championship match?”

Zero just looks at Condolesa. Condolesa just looks up at Zero and Zero slowly has a smile appear on his face. Condolesa looks more and more confused before turning away a bit.

Condolesa: “What?”

Zero then starts to laugh a bit before turning away and shaking his head. He brings his hand up to his eyes and rubs them before turning to Condolesa and shaking his head some more.

Zero: “Really? You thought you’d just ask me and I’d just tell you. Really?”

Condolesa: “I thought-“

Zero: “Clearly you didn’t. And clearly you’re not going to get the answer you and the world so desperately crave. That...will come out when the time is right. Kapeesh?”

Zero then turns and walks off as Condolesa turns to the camera.

Condolesa: “Well I tried folks. Later tonight, Jason Zero faces Drew Weilacher, here on Breakdown. Maybe we’ll get something more by then...”

Condolesa throws her arms up before shaking her head and then walking off as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Andrew Samuel Pugh vs. Glacier

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

Dawson: “Andrew Pugh, stepping back into singles competition after teaming up with Billy Mitchell on the last BreakDown.”

Sharper: “It was supposed to be two-on-two against Sands and Thorn, but apparently, Roboto fired the both of them, and as a result, Sketch Retro, better known to these fans as the Lost Boy, Loki, was sent out by himself!”

Dawson: “Even by himself, he put up a tremendous fight, but it was the numbers game that made the difference. Between Mitchell’s brawling and Pugh’s sneak attacks, Sketch just couldn’t hold out.”

"Colder Than Ice" by KC Blaze blasts as a blue mist creeps onto the ramp. Out comes Glacier with an unzipped navy hooded jacket on with dark blue jeans that stop at the knee and white sneakers. He takes down the hood and looks up at the crowd that boos the shit out of him. As he walks down the ramp blue pyrotechnics go off on the sides of the ramp. He smirks and walks up the steel steps. Glacier gets in the ring and climbs the nearby turnbuckle. He raises his hands in the air as the crowd boos him even more. Glacier smirks as the crowd and shakes his head to suggest he pities how pathetic they are. He gets down from the turnbuckle and takes out his jacket then throws it to one of the female fans who scream at seeing his eight-pack.

Knots: “Well, Puke, it’s been nice knowing you!”

Sharper: “Andrew Pugh about to face his toughest challenge to date in the former Tag Team Champion, Glacier. We saw the ‘Iceman’ in action on the last BreakDown as well, dropping one of the closest matches of the night to Aaron Rupp.”

Dawson: “You can bet he’s looking to rectify that loss, too, but tonight he’ll have his hands full with the ‘King’, Andrew Pugh.”

Knots: “Hands full? …Jimmy-Boy, you need to stop humoring the little children. I give Pugh five minutes at most before he’s scouring the canvas for what’s left of his teeth!”

Before the referee can even call for the bell, Glacier turns around and runs straight into ASP, driving him back into the corner with a spear. ASP tries to land a right hand, but Glacier slaps it away, then lands one of his own, followed by a back elbow, and then a stiff knee to the ribs that doubles ASP over. Hooking the arms, Glacier drives repeated knees into ASP’s ribs and face, before taking him over with an awkward double-arm suplex. He floats over into the pin.

One!

ASP kicks out with a little effort. Pushing up to his feet, Glacier pulls ASP up too and smashes him with a forearm, followed by a hard left that backs Pugh into the ropes. Glacier whips the kid to the ropes and tries for a big boot, but ASP baseball slides underneath and rolls to his feet behind Glacier before taking him down with a chop block to the knee. Glacier cries out as he drops to his back, holding his leg in pain. ASP gets up and stomps on the knee, then drops his own knee down into it, further damaging it. Holding Glacier’s leg by the ankle, he steps over and leg drops the knee before wrenching back on Glacier’s leg with a modified knee-bar.

Dawson: “Pugh is actually in control of this match!”

Sharper: “Glacier turned it up, but the quickness of the ‘King’ seems to be keeping him one step ahead of Glacier’s smash-mouth antics.”

The referee asks Glacier if he wants to quit, but gets a middle-finger for an answer. Some of the fans laugh while others cheer. Using both hands and his free leg, Glacier pushes himself back towards the ropes, dragging Pugh along with him, before he’s able to reach back and grab the bottom cable. Forced to break the hold, ASP gets up and stomps on the knee again, before nailing it with a savage punt-style kick. Reaching down, he pulls Glacier to his feet and snaps him over with a suplex. ASP hops up and jumps on the ropes, springboarding back with a turn-around elbow drop into Glacier’s chest. Jumping on top, he hooks the near leg.

One!

Tw-No!

Knots: “Is this kid serious? …he thought that would work?”

Dawson: “Pugh is still fresh to the ring, and that proved it. He needs to weaken Glacier a lot more than that to pick up the win.”

Knots: “Weaken? …you don’t have to ‘weaken’ Glacier to beat him, you have to KILL him!”

Mounting Glacier’s shoulders, Pugh rains down a series of hard shots, but grabbing an arm and dropping back for an arm-bar, but Glacier clasps his hands to block it. Letting go of the arm, Pugh rolls to his feet and lashes out with a low dropkick, catching Glacier in the side of the head. Cupping his skull, Glacier rolls away and gets to his knees. Pugh steps up and stomp-kicks the side of Glacier’s head, then pulls him up and scoops him onto his shoulder then drives him down with a slam in the middle of the ring. Climbing out onto the apron, Pugh leaps up onto the top rope, but Glacier throws himself into the ropes, causing them to shake. ASP loses his balance and comes down crotch first on the top rope. He struggles to untangle himself as Glacier pushes to his feet. Seeing Pugh, he backs into the ropes and comes off with a brutal big boot that knocks Pugh into a backflip off the apron before crashing down onto the floor mats.

Knots: “YES! …that’s what I’m talking about!”

Sharper: “Andrew Pugh just booked a first-class seat to the floor!”

Knots: “… please tell me you didn’t just think that up.”

Sharper: “As a matter of fact, I did.”

Glacier pushes the referee out of the way and rolls out onto the floor. Pugh is trying to get to his feet, but Glacier grabs him and rams him headfirst into the steel steps. The crowd groans as Pugh somersaults over them and lands on his back. Backing up, Glacier runs and steps off the steps, flipping into a senton splash across Pugh’s ribs, causing the man to cry out in pain as he rolls off to the side. Grabbing the guardrail, ASP tries to pull himself up, but Glacier just clotheslines him from behind, smashing his face off the steel fencing. One of the fans says something, and Glacier flips him off. Pulling Pugh to his feet, he rolls him back into the ring and slides in behind him, pushing him down on his back and hooking the leg.

One!

Two!

NO!

Dawson: “Pugh able to keep himself alive a little longer.”

Sharper: “Got to give the kid one thing, he doesn’t give up.”

Knots: “His funeral.”

Getting to his knees, Glacier rolls Pugh onto his stomach and kneels over him, slamming his knees into ASP’s skull over, and over, and over again, before he pulls Pugh to his feet and arm-wringers him into a short-lariat. Blood seeps from the side of Pugh’s mouth as he rolls onto his knees and tries to stand. Glacier motions for him to get up, then cuts a knife-edge chop across his chest, followed by another one. Glacier then whips him into the ropes and follows him in with a knee lift to the gut, sending ASP into a full flip onto his back. Pugh struggles to get up and Glacier scoops him onto his shoulder before slamming him down onto his knee with a backbreaker. Arching his spine, ASP cries out in pain as Glacier backs into the ropes and comes down with a forearm drop across the forehead. Kicking the canvas in pain, ASP rolls away again, pushing himself up to his knees. Glacier walks up and grabs him by the hair, pulling him up to a stand… but Pugh thumbs him in the eye. The crowd boos as Glacier staggers away and turns his back. ASP runs up and dropkicks him in the back of the head, sending him face-first into the turnbuckle. As Glacier bounces off, Pugh rolls him in a school-boy, hooking the shorts.

One!

Two!

NO!

Glacier breaks free at the last second. Staggering to his feet, Pugh turns and walks over to the corner, vaulting up to the top before flipping back into a moonsault… across Glacier’s knees!

Dawson: “Experience coming to play in Glacier’s favor there. Pugh’s taken a lot of hard shots to those ribs; he can’t be breathing too well right now.”

Knots: “He’s lucky he’s even breathing at all! …once Glacier decides he’s had enough, it’s time for lights out, ‘cause the King is dead!”

Both men stay on the mat, heaving for breath, until Glacier slowly pushes back up to his feet, and walks over to ASP. Grabbing the back of Pugh’s neck, he pulls him up and arm-wringers him, pulling him into a shoulder thrust, and then another one. Pulling him in a third-time, he scoops him up and drives him down with a spine-buster. Forcing himself back up, Glacier motions to Pugh and circles around to his head, crouching down and ordering him to get up. As ASP begins to stir, Glacier licks his lips and measures him. Pugh stands up and turns around, catching Glacier with a stiff shot just as he goes to spit the mist. Staggered, Glacier roars in frustration and comes back with a shot of his own, knocking Pugh to the mat. ASP gets back up and Glacier nails him again, and then a third time, before backing him into the ropes and whipping him to the far side. Pugh bounces off and leaps into a spinning heel kick, but Glacier drops to his knees. Pugh tries to land on his feet, but stumbles forward into the corner. As he turns around, he’s caught with a hard clothesline by Glacier, crushing him against the pads.

Sharper: “An irate Glacier just beating the living daylights out of Andrew Pugh!”

Dawson: “He missed with that mist of his, so it’s back to doing things the hard way.”

Mounting the second rope, Glacier levels Pugh with a seven-count series of punches, then clasps ASP’s head on both hands and drops back to the mat, using gravity to add more force to a savage head-butt. Busted open, Pugh just slumps against the ropes after the last shot. Glacier lifts him up and sits him on the top turnbuckle, slapping him hard across the cheek.

Knots: “Oh, this is gonna’ look beautiful!”

Stepping up onto the bottom rope so he can reach, Glacier hooks ASP’s head and leaps off with the ‘Frost Bite’ cutter, driving Pugh’s face and jaw into his shoulder, knocking him out on the spot. ASP’s body begins to convulse from the impact, but Glacier holds it down and hooks a leg.

One!

Two!

Three!

Glacier rolls off of ASP and just looks at him and then dusts off his shoulders before getting up to his feet. The referee raises his arm and he just whips it away. He shakes his head as Pugh starts to stir. Glacier continues to walk around the ring as we go backstage.

Backstage we see Kassie Khane walking away from Adam Riddick backstage as Riddick walks forward and grabs her by the arm.

Riddick: “What the hell was that?”

Kassie rolls her eyes and looks away a bit.

Riddick: “Don’t start that?”

Kassie: “Start what?”

Riddick: “I’m not going to play games. You cost me the damn match out there. You’re supposed to be my manager. Not my distraction!”

Kassie: “Well maybe I don’t want to manage someone who needs to cheat to win? Maybe I want the old Adam that actually would try to win a match based off of honour, skill and respect? Maybe that’s what I want!”

Riddick just scoffs.

Riddick: “You’ve been in SCW this long and you’re still as naive as ever. Unbelievable...”

Riddick just shakes his head as he walks off in front of Kassie. Kassie just stops, shaking her head and looking down, obviously deflated as the crowd boos and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

With the previous match still fresh in the minds of the fans in attendance, the question remains what can happen next at a show which comes off a bumper pay-per-view event like Retribution. Well their thoughts are answered as are those from the fans watching at home because breaking their silence is a theme they obviously didn’t expect to hear so soon into the night... Gasoline by Porcelain and the Tramps.

Sharper: "Oh boy, we all know whose coming out now..."

Knots: "Woo, I’ve been looking forward to this since I heard he arrived in the arena tonight."

The crowd are letting their feelings known as the music continues to play, and it’s not long before the man who beat Fred Debonair in the most controversial of ways steps out onto the stage dressed in a black Order of Chaos T-Shirt, jeans and a pair of black magnum patrol boots. The look on the Brits face is one of glee as he soaks up the hate from the SCW fans albeit on his own it seems.

Dawson: "You know many individuals would look at this kind of reception and look to change their outlook on life, but not that man he loves the hate from the fans and his peers."

Sharper: "Couldn’t agree more with you there, Lucas Knight is one despicable individual who will stop at nothing to make sure he gets his way."

Knots: "Some people call that being smart..."

Sharper: "Really, you’re going to pull the he’s smart card?"

Knots: "Why not?"

The fans watch as Lucas walks down the ramp with a confident strut in his step, casually stopping to just laugh at the occasional fan. It isn’t long before Lucas slides into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle himself pointing at the Order of Chaos logo on his shirt and nodding his head with a grin before jumping down and signalling for a microphone which he receives almost immediately. Then as he paces back and forth in the ring, he addresses the crowd and everyone else who could be possibly watching.

Lucas Knight: "I know what you all must be thinking right about now, well let me publically state the rumours you’ve all read on the internet wrestling sites were true. After what happened at Retribution, Christy and Nathan Slade have been barred from the building tonight by that harlot Sasha Drachewych..."

The fans erupt with cheers at the news, thinking that Lucas will now be getting his just deserts tonight in the tag-team match he’s in. Whether he does or not remains to be seen though.

Lucas Knight: "Which you know I’m fine with because believe it or not I don’t need them to help me win tonight. I didn’t really need them to help me beat Fred Debonair at Retribution, I just choose to because I could. You see I’ve won countless matches in my career without the help from anyone, and because of what transpired last Sunday that crack monkey wants to label me a pussy? I’m surprised the little pissant knows what one is, but you know what I’ll do him this one favour and I’ll bite the hook he’s obviously casting out into this SCW ocean if you will."

Lucas stops dead centre of the ring and stares out at the crowd, the flash photography illuminating the rafters, while the echo of boo’s can still be heard even though the majority are listening to what Knight has to say.

Lucas Knight: "So Freddy since you felt the urge to accept my last challenge a few days before we faced off at Retribution, how about you and I go at it one more time at Tactical Warfare? You can or you cannot put that fiddly little piece of shit championship on the line it really doesn’t matter to me, because I know soon enough I’ll have gold around this waist. But like tonight though I’ll give you a reason to want to face me again, so I’ll up the ante in your favour with no Christy at ringside and no Nathan Slade."

The crowd erupts and Lucas just grins happy to hear at least the fans approve of the idea in question. Lucas though then tilts his head towards the camera closest to him as if he’s hearing someone reply to him.

Lucas Knight: "Are you not at least moderately interested in this offer Freddy? No you want more; you want to make sure there are no excuses this time you say? So how about this then bruv, Lucas Knight vs. Fred Debonair regardless of it being a title or non-title match, in a steel cage. That’s right I will have no god damn escape, you can have you wicked little way with me if you want to try but know this. I’m no pussy, because everything happens for a reason Champ. I don’t need to repeat myself from the other night, so I know you know what I’m talking about. The ball is now in your court, I don’t expect you to answer right away though. Wouldn’t want you rushing into something you won’t be able to handle now would we."

Knight goes to lower the mic to the canvas but stops half way and standing up once more, the Brit having more to say.

Lucas Knight: "You see SCW my rise to the top of this company is happening whether any of you like that fact or not. It doesn’t matter if it’s Fred Debonair, David Helms, Christian Saviour, Aaron Rupp or Jake Starr sooner rather than later this waist will see championship gold. I proved that at retribution by outsmarting that piece of shit Fred Debonair thusly ending his streak. I’m now three victories into my SCW career, and I’m yet to get pinned to the mat. All traits of someone who’s making their mark here no, but like I said we’ll see soon enough. Everyone will respect the name Lucas Knight soon – I guarantee it!"

Now Lucas tosses the mic over his shoulder with a cocky laugh before exiting the ring and heading to the backstage area. The crowd all boo as Gasoline hit’s over the P.A System, and our commentary trio start up their conversation once more after hearing what Lucas had to say.

Sharper: "Wow, another open challenge to Fred Debonair in a cage no less, you can’t help but think Lucas is planning something though..."

Knot: "He wouldn’t be Lucas Knight if he wasn’t planning something, I told you he’s not a idiot he does everything for a reason."

Dawson: "I’m inclined to agree with Knots here this time, Lucas spoke a lot of truth throughout that, and the fact he hasn’t actually be pinned yet says a lot if you ask me."

Sharper: "Well I never asked, but your point is well taken. Now though I guess the ball is certainly in the Underground Champions court, will he accept or will management even allow that match to take place at Tactical Warfare?"

Knots: "God I hope so, Lucas Knight – Fred Debonair II would be a truly epic match to behold."

The screen goes white before a flash of five giant P’s come up on the screen, followed by an explosion and then the Kayl TV logo. We then see a giant logo on the screen saying “Donovan Kayl at the Winter Games!”

We then swing into a shot in Vancouver being a VERY makeshift desk, in fact a normal patio table. We then see Donovan Kayl standing behind it with a Canadian flag pinned behind him, violently flapping in the ring. Kayl jumps up and smacks the table.

Kayl: “Ladies and gentlemen, behold the sight you are seeing. Yes, I AM alive. It is shocking. I know. I was surprised, but after weeks of suspense, I return and I return to you here, LIVE, from Vancouver, the site of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and I am here to give you my EXCLUSIVE coverage of those games, EXCLUSIVE to KAYL TV and of course, all of you watching SCW programming!”

Skylar (from behind the camera): “Ahem!”

Kayl: “Excuse me, I am taping here....Anyways, before I was so RUDELY interrupted, I will be giving you my updates every two weeks on Breakdown and of course, simulcast on KAYL TV, as all of the big names and big games take place. The Mens Hockey final. Will Canada win hockey gold at home? Will we be the rising stars of ice dancing? Will we win medals in snowboarding and NOT be high? All of these questions will be answered ONLY here on KAYL TV....and Breakdown...”

Skylar: “Donnie!”

Kayl: “What? You’re filming. I’m on right now.”

Skylar: “We’re not at those games.”

Kayl: “Sure we are. We’re in Vancouver! I’m going to go see the Gold Medal game and we better see Canada beat America again, just like they did a couple of weeks ago.”

Skylar: “Oh God.....”

Skylar then walks in front of the camera, allowing it to rest on the tripod that it was sitting on. She goes over to Kayl and tells him to look around.

Skylar: “Do you see as many people around? Is it not awfully bare? Plus, the game you watched two weeks ago and then got so drunk that you fell into my father’s basement, nearly hitting your head again WAS the gold medal game!”

Kayl: “Whoa...what? I thought you said we’re going to cover the Winter Games!”

Skylar: “We are. They wouldn’t let us cover the Olympics as we’d be sued. We’re covering the Paralympics.”

Kayl: “Oh....Well....we can go with that. Don’t they play hockey on sleds or something. I saw that on tv....lesser tv than KAYL TV, but tv nonetheless....”

Skylar: “Well yes, but by the time you send your next report, since you insisted in having SCW backing, the games will be over. You won’t have a next report except to summarize everything. I’ve tried to tell you that repeatedly on the plane ride over here, but you assured me not. I even pulled out a calendar. I’m telling you again right now!”

Kayl looks completely blankly, seemingly staring out to space before he suddenly throws his pen down and throws his arms in the air.

Kayl: “Son of a bitch!”

Kayl starts to pace back and forth as the scene slowly fades to black, only for Skylar’s voice to be heard again.

Skylar: “The preceding was a special presentation of Kayl TV.....I think....”

The scene then cuts to commercials.

COMMERCIAL:

Jason Zero vs. Drew Weilacher

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

Dawson: “A lot of questions and we are looking for answers. Jessica Winters attempted to get some answers, but Zero just smirked and walked off.”

Knots: “Let’s hope that Weilacher beats some answers out of him. This isn’t making sense. He called the fall. He’s not an official. This makes no sense!”

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 cheer thunderously 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 fans 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. To no one’s surprise, but to their delight, standing there is Jason Zero, is 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 at all the lighters and the fans who use their hands to form the letter ‘Z’. He gives a grin before running down the ramp way as he makes it The crowd continues to scream out to Zero. 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 music is turned down and then off as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Well despite the mysteriousness that surrounds Zero, this crowd solidly behind him.”

Dawson: “And plus, with Greg Cherry going after Drachewych and essentially leaving Infection in shambles, Drew Weilacher needs to stop up. This is his time to step up and show himself as a true player.”

Knots: “That he is, but damn it, this is a lot to ride on his shoulders. Knock off Zero, get answers and carry the torch for Infection.”

The bell sounds and Zero smirks as he walks around the ring and Drew Weilacher turns and walks forward, but Zero kicks him in the ribs. He then nails him with a forearm and then nails him with a back chop. The crowd woos and Weilacher staggers back into the ropes. Zero kicks him in the ribs and then goes to whip him into the ropes, but Weilacher spins through and sends Zero in. Zero bounces off the ropes and Weilacher attempts a boot. Zero ducks and bounces off the other side before Weilacher turns and scoops Zero up and onto his shoulders, but Zero slides down and pushes Weilacher into the corner. Weilacher staggers back and turns around and Zero jumps up and dropkicks him back into the corner.

Dawson: “Zero using his speed and agility to outmaneuver Drew Weilacher.”

Sharper: “Dropkick into the corner and Weilacher finds himself quickly trying to fight out from the corner or the ropes or other places not great for a powerhouse.”

Weilacher winces as Bishop paces around at ringside. Zero gets up and then nails him with a hard right. Zero then grabs Weilacher and takes him over with a snapmare. Weilacher winces and Zero then dropkicks him in the back of the head. Weilacher rolls over and holds his head in pain. Zero goes for the pin.

Weilacher kicks out. He rolls over and slowly starts to pull himself up. Zero gets back up and Weilacher rolls over and starts to get up. Zero walks over and stomps him in the back of the head. He then grabs Weilacher and lifts him up and grabs him from behind in a chinlock, only for Weilacher to nail him with an elbow to the ribs. Zero winces and staggers back. Weilacher turns and clocks him with a hard right. Zero staggers back into the ropes. Weilacher walks over and Zero kicks him in the ribs. Weilacher staggers back. Zero then runs out of the corner and Weilacher hoists him up before quickly throwing him down with a release spinebuster. The crowd ohs as Zero rolls over, holding his back in pain.

Sharper: “Oh my! The power and strength and the impact. That spinebuster dropped Zero hard on his back and neck!”

Knots: “Yeah and the fun interrogation begins.”

Dawson: “Or maybe Weilacher is looking to get a big win. Who knows? Maybe loyalty does have a price. What about that?”

Knots: “Ha! You wish!”

Zero slowly starts to stir and Weilacher grabs him and hoists him up and nails him with a headbutt in the back of the head. He then grabs Zero and knees him in the back. Zero winces and Weilacher scoops him up and spins around before dropping him down with a sidewalk slam. He then hooks back on the legs.

Zero kicks out. He then rolls over and starts to slowly pull himself up. Weilacher starts to get up to his feet. He then walks over towards the ropes and then bounces off the ropes. He then nails Zero with a hard boot to the side of the head. Zero rolls over and slowly starts to get up. Weilacher then grabs him and nails him with a hard right to the jaw. Zero staggers over to the ropes. He gets up and Weilacher then nails him with a hard right again. Weilacher turns around and Weilacher then lifts Zero up via the legs, causing him to lean on the top rope. Weilacher then kicks him hard in the ribs and Zero drops down to the mat and rolls over, holding his ribs in pain.

Sharper: “A vicious kick to the ribs and Weilacher may indeed be torturing Zero.”

Knots: “Told you. This is to extract information. Zero won’t tell us or anyone, then fine. Drachewych will find out.”

Dawson: “Too bad Drachewych’s is out of it and backstage.”

Zero slowly starts to stir and Weilacher walks over and grabs him. He drags him up and knees him in the ribs. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Zero bounces off the ropes. Weilacher lifts Zero up, but Zero manages to spin through and then grabs Weilacher from behind and pulls him down with a chinlock takedown. Weilacher rolls over and starts to get up and Zero gets to his feet only to hit him with a jumping enziguri. Weilacher rolls onto his back and Zero goes for the pin.

Weilacher kicks out, by powering up. Zero lands on his feet and then quickly hits an elbow drop. The crowd cheers as Weilacher slowly starts to get up and Zero grabs him. Weilacher pushes him away and Zero staggers back and goes into the ropes. Weilacher gets to his feet as Zero jumps up and hits a flying clothesline. Zero then rolls over and gets up before exiting to the apron. He then starts to climb up to the top rope as Weilacher remains down in the ring. Zero gets to the top and then dives off and hits a swandive headbutt, hitting Weilacher right in the chest. The crowd cheers as Zero rolls over, holding his head in pain.

Sharper: “Jason Zero hits the swandive headbutt. Right to the heart and Weilacher is in a world of hurt!”

Dawson: “Zero may be about ready to end this. He’s a bit slow to get up, but Weilacher is still down!”

Zero gets up and Weilacher rolls over and stirs. Zero then looks at him and grabs him and hooks his arm. He then goes to lift him up for the Falcon in the Dive, but Weilacher blocks it. He then knees Zero in the ribs. Zero staggers back and Weilacher then grabs him and whips him into the ropes. Zero bounces off the ropes and Weilacher attempts a boot, but Zero slides underneath. He then gets up and Weilacher turns around only for Zero to nail him with the Chaos Theory. The crowd ohs and Zero goes for the pin.

Zero rolls off. He then gets up and looks down at Weilacher. Bishop walks around the ring, clearly unhappy as Zero smirks. He turns around and suddenly, Greg Cherry rushes down from the back and slides into the ring. He nails Zero with a clothesline and then runs over to Weilacher before nailing him with shot after shot after shot to the head in a side headlock position. The crowd cheers some more.

Dawson: “Zero has defeated Weilacher, but Greg Cherry’s out here again!”

Sharper: “And he’s going after Weilacher!”

Greg gets up and stomps Weilacher in the face repeatedly. Bishop goes to enter the ring and Greg runs over and kicks the ropes, causing Bishop to jump back. Greg then turns around and goes back over to Weilacher and stomps him in the head as Zero just rolls out of the ring and smile up at him. Officials again appear and run down to the ring. They slide in as Greg nails Weilacher yet again with another stomp. They get up and run over to Greg and Greg backs away as they surround Weilacher. Greg just glares at him, continuing to fume as early as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Cue the backstage area showing a gracious shot of the SCW Women’s champion performing various stretches to get ready for her huge tag-team match tonight with Ravyn Taylor as her partner. Her current attire doesn’t leave a lot to the imagination as she now drops down performing the splits and it’s not long though before our heroine spot’s a pair of legs standing in front of her. The view is of a black pair of boots with black jeans, as Syren gets up off the floor so does the camera to reveal the person standing opposite the Women’s champion now – Lucas Knight. The look on Zoe’s face is one of happiness as the not so popular Brit stands before her with a slight unease about his person.

Syren: “Oh my god, um, hi?”

She looks surprisingly nervous as she looks up at the Brit.

Lucas Knight: “Hey Zoe, we need to talk about the other night...”

She nods nervously.

Syren: “Yah, I know right? You left in such a hurry and you barely said anything to me and, um, did I do something wrong?”

Knight shakes his head frantically.

Lucas Knight: “No, oh god no you didn’t do anything wrong. As you can probably tell I got a load to deal with here tonight, but even more outside of this. My life is so crazy right now...”

He motions with his hands and Syren agrees, nodding her head happily.

Syren: “Yah, I like totally understand! I have so much going on as well, my life is like so crazy right now but it’s also so much fun, you know? I mean not only am I proving to be the greatest Women’s Champion EVER but hello tonight I have this way huge tag team match.”

Lucas Knight: “I recall seeing the card, good luck with that by the way.”

Lucas lets forth a slight smile in Syren’s general vicinity with which she returns the favour.

Syren: “Yah, totally. I mean, um, thank you? Oh and you too as well since, you know, I was so glad you beat that Deadair guy at the Pay-Per-View because it’s like yah who does he think he is, right?”

Lucas Knight: “Ha-ha yeah, well tonight I plan to prove to him and everyone else that nothing is done by me without a reason. It’s like the saying goes, there’s a method to my madness.”

Syren: “Yah totally! And you know I know that maybe you’re all stressed right now and stuff but if you ever need somebody to help, like, relieve your stress or something then I’m always available and I’m like a super amazing listener and stuff, right?”

Knight just nods his head and can’t stop himself from smiling.

Lucas Knight: “I’ll bear that in mind.”

He gives her a little wink and begins to walk off but she grabs his arm to stop him and gives him a peck on the cheek excitedly.

Syren: “For luck, you know?”

Lucas Knight: “Luck? I don’t need luck, but thanks.”

He walks off leaving her swooning in his wake. She takes a moment to recompose herself before clearing her throat and grabbing her championship belt, putting it over her shoulder proudly before continuing her stretching.

Knots: “How I wish I was that cameraman...”

Pyrotechnics shoot out of the top of the ramp as "Awake and Alive" by Skillet begins to play. Justin Davis then comes walking out to a mix reaction of a crowd. He smirks as the boos start to intensify before starting to make his way down to the ring. He looks around and just laughs a bit as he hops onto the apron. He then enters the ring and looks around before walking across the ring and climbing up to the middle turnbuckle and looking around. He then drops down before turning and reaching through the ropes and being handed a microphone.

Sharper: “At Retribution, Davis said he’d make an impact. And he did by attacking Hurse and Rick Rohl and aiding Rachel Foxx and Alex Desoubrais Jr. in their post-match beat down.”

Knots: “And we are just left asking one question...what’s next?”

Davis turns and walks back to the middle of the ring and looks around, smiling.

Davis: “So did everyone enjoy what I did at Retribution? Did everyone else enjoy the fact that I got involved myself with the arguably the most beautiful and yet suicidial individual in the entire company....”

Davis smiles.

Davis: “See, when I found out that I wasn’t going to be involved in a match at Retribution, in terms of competition, I realized that I need to make sure people were watching what I was doing. And when I came out here two weeks ago, I made a guarantee and one that I definitely followed through on of making an impact. And now, here I stand, more of you booing me than ever before and more cameras and spotlight on me than ever before...”

More boos come from the crowd as Davis just looks around, smiling, enjoying his position in the middle of the ring and with the world watching.

Davis: “And see, this is something that isn’t going to go away. I started the year being named the Star of Tomorrow and while Thorn may have had his opportunity ten days ago, mine will be coming soon enough again. And since then, I have proven that I’m ready and I have proven for the several months that my time is coming, no longer on the horizon, but front and center now. And I’ve always said and at Retribution I made that clearer....that I talk loud and hit harder...”

Just then, before Davis can continue, we hear “House of the Rising Sun” play throughout the arena and the crowd starts to cheer. We then see Hurse walk out from the back, along with Rick Rohl. Davis turns and just smirks before walking over to the ropes and leaning forward. Hurse and Rick Rohl walk forward and just look down at the ring. Hurse then takes a deep breath before starting his way down to the ring.

Davis: “Oh, here we go. Hurse and Rick Rohl are going to probably run around like idiots, have some sobfest before magically getting back together after making a bunch of barely hilarious pop culture references...”

Rick Rohl and Hurse just continue on their way to the ring and Davis starts to slowly back away as they get closer.

Davis: “Okay, whoa....wait a minute.”

Davis continues to back away and Hurse and Rick Rohl enter the ring. Hurse then gets up as Rick Rohl starts to walk forward and suddenly, roars can be heard from the crowd. Rick Rohl grabs Davis and suddenly, we see Glacier slide into the ring from behind. He low blows Hurse before he can realize he’s there. Rick Rohl turns around and sees Hurse dropping down to the mat and Davis kicks him between the legs before grabbing him and hitting him with the Fallout. The crowd boos loudly and Davis rolls over and looks over at Rohl. Glacier gets up and smirks as Hurse remains down, in pain.

Sharper: “Give me a break. This was a set up to lure Hurse and Rohl to try and get revenge. I guess Glacier and Davis had this planned!”

Knots: “More impact being made! Davis showing that right now!”

Glacier and Davis walk over to one another and briefly embrace before raising each other’s arms up in the air. Davis and Glacier just smile as the crowd boos loudly. Davis just laughs as Glacier shakes his head in retaliation for the crowd response. Both continue to stand over Hurse and Rohl as they remain down. Davis and Glacier continue to stand tall as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up backstage to see Christian Savior standing next to Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area. The crowd boos seeing Savior as Savior leans back and just turns to the SCW interviewer.

Jessica: “I am here with the new SCW United States Champion, Christian Savior and well, I guess congratulations is in order as you’ve completed the goal you hoped to achieve since September.”

Savior just looks away for a moment then looks down.

Savior: “That is right....since September. It took me seven months to get to this point here to succeed. I guess a lot of people are going to make fun of me on that. That it took me so long. But see, when I have to work from the bottom, deal with being ignored, I guess it’s a bit harder. And at the same time, ha ha, I am the US Champion!”

Savior chuckles a bit.

Savior: “But that was only step on. Jessica...did you remember what else I said back in September?”

Jessica looks around a bit unsure before shaking her head.

Savior: “I told you that the true Infection would take hold. That was point number two. Come on...do you research. But now as I stand here the United States Champion...it also seems like the copycat Infection is breaking down at the seams. There is a void that will need to be filled and perhaps it’s time to move towards completing step two. Perhaps...”

Savior pauses again as the crowd boos some more.

Savior: “But perhaps we should focus on things one at a time. And tonight, I have Jake Starr. The person who claims to hold the IWC World Championship...but that’s a matter for another promotion. Tonight, he does hold the SCW World Champion...and maybe it’s time for someone to make him humble. Maybe it’s time....”

Savior smiles as he then turns and walks off. Jessica Winters watches him leave before turning back to the camera.

Jessica: “Back to ringside...”

Shilo Valiant & Marina Trent vs. Syren & Ravyn Taylor

"Keeps Gettin' Better" by Christina Aguilera picks up across the sound system as the lights dim and the spotlights begin to flicker on and off around the arena. The screens come to life and display a similar message.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

As the chorus kicks in the spotlights focus on the stage where we see the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to the entrance ramp dressed in a fur cloak and hood. She turns to her side as her tag team partner Syren joins her on the stage in a full length pink jacket with a fur lined hood similar to her partners, along with the Women’s Championship, and the two of them pose back to back for a moment with Syren striking more of a pose than Ravyn. As the song continues blasting the two make their way down the ramp with Ravyn taking the steps up to the ring while Syren jumps on to the side of the ring and wiggles her ass for the fans before ducking down under the second rope and wiggling her ass again as she does so. When both are in the ring they simultaneously climb the turnbuckles where Ravyn raises her arms proudly and Syren sings along with the chorus of the song, making special emphasis on the words "SUPER BITCH". Ravyn jumps down and Syren backflips her way down to the mat and makes her way over to Ravyn, who collapses to a seated position in the corner and Syren drops down to talk to her.

Sharper: “We’ve seen these two team up before and they are a formidable team. But while they may be friends, they may have an interesting challenge in front of them.”

Knots: “Yeah. They have to deal with Karnivale and let’s face it...they’re screwed in the head.”

Dawson: “But let us note something...Ravyn Taylor does hold a win over Marina Trent.”

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman scream the word "NECRO!" across the sound system as "Sin with a Grin" by Shinedown play. The spotlight and camera search around the arena, trying to locate the elusive Necro-Merchant. They quickly spot a growing fog near the entryway of the ramp.

The fans yells only grow louder as from seeming below the ground, Shilo shoots out of the ground as fireworks shoot out around him, the neon lights causing his white face and colored hair to glow in eerie colors. Landing on the ground, Shilo spins around on the spot, marvelling at the massive audience and shouting back at them. The word "Necro" is heard again, which Shilo returns by shouting the same word. Just then, we see the “Cerulean Tear” dive out from the back, rolling forward and with great agility, slowly gets up on her feet. She looks at Shilo as Shilo just smiles at her. The two then start to make their way down the rampway, looking up at the ring.

Shilo slides into the ring as Marina hops onto the apron. Shilo gets up and turns and holds open the ropes. Marina enters and walks around as she then jumps up onto the shoulders of Shilo and Shilo drops down to her knee as Marina kneels on his shoulder. The crowd cheers before suddenly, we see Ravyn Taylor run up from behind and dropkick Shilo in the back of the head. The crowd ohs as Shilo falls forward and Marina crashes to the mat. Boos then come from all over.

Sharper: “Ah, come on! Ravyn Taylor with a clear cheap shot.”

Knots: “That was amazing! And here comes Syren! Oh man. I’ve been waiting for this!”

Syren runs over and grabs Marina as she holds her face in pain. Syren then throws her out of the ring. Shilo slowly stirs and Ravyn grabs him from behind and Syren grabs him and they hit a double Russian leg sweep. Syren then gets up and stomps Shilo in the face as Ravyn turns and goes for the pin. Syren exits the ring and Ravyn snaps at the referee. The referee drops down and counts.

Shilo kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up and Ravyn quickly grabs him and pushes him into the corner and kicks him in the chest and then again and again. The referee calls for a break and Ravyn places her foot on the throat of Shilo. She presses down as the referee counts.

Ravyn steps off and smiles as she walks around the ring. Marina walks around the ring and hops onto the apron, holding her jaw a bit. Shilo slowly pulls himself up and Ravyn walks over and kicks him in the ribs and the crowd boos as Shilo falls to his knees, wincing.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor and Syren have just taken Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent out of their game. I’m shocked.”

Dawson: “And Shilo Valiant has the most experience and training in that ring. He right now hasn’t been able to get a chance to show that because Ravyn Taylor has taken advantage of the opening her and Syren created!”

Knots: “That’s why Syren is taking the Women’s division by storm. Her and Ravyn are just on the same page!”

Ravyn grabs him again and then lifts him up and knees him in the back. She then nails him in the back of the head with a forearm. Shilo staggers to the middle of the ring and Ravyn runs up behind him and attempts a running facebuster, but Shilo manages to push her off. Ravyn bounces off the ropes and Shilo quickly lifts her up and hits a flapjack. Ravyn rolls over, holding her face in pain as Shilo sits up. He then looks at Ravyn as she gets up and grabs her from behind before hoisting her up and throwing her down with a Greco-Roman takedown. He then spins around her and grabs her by the head and then lifts her up before just taking her over with a snap suplex. Ravyn rolls over in pain and she starts to get up. She attempts a hard right, but Shilo blocks it before catching the arm. Ravyn attempts a hard left, but Shilo catches that. Ravyn just looks completely enraged as Syren yells at Shilo to let go, only for Shilo to hoist her up and over with a double arm suplex. Ravyn rolls over and slowly gets up and Shilo grabs her arm and wrenches it. Ravyn winces and moves to her knee as Shilo looks at her and tags in Marina. Marina slingshots herself into the ring and kicks her in the arm. Ravyn staggers forward. Marina then runs in the ropes in front of Ravyn and bounces off them before hitting a crossbody. She then turns and nails her with several hard rights to the head.

Sharper: “Marina Trent in and this match has completely been turned around just like that. The inexperience of Ravyn Taylor being shown.”

Knots: “Yeah, but there’s still the Women’s Champion here and plus, Ravyn’s beaten Marina before. Shilo can’t do all of the heavy lifting.”

Marina gets up and Ravyn slowly gets up. Marina turns and walks over and grabs Ravyn and then knees her in the ribs. Ravyn stumbles back and Marina grabs her and whips her into the ropes. Ravyn bounces off the ropes and Marina lifts her up and back drops her. Ravyn rolls over and gets up and Marina jumps up and hits her with a dropkick. Ravyn bounces off the ropes and rolls down to the mat. She quickly goes for the pin.

Ravyn gets her shoulder up. She then rolls over and Marina grabs Ravyn and lifts her up only to reach back and tag in Shilo. Shilo smirks as he enters the ring and then kicks Ravyn in the ribs. Ravyn staggers back and Shilo then turns and grabs her and drops her with an STO.

Sharper: “Ravyn is getting decimated here. She’s getting tested harder than ever before and the teamwork of Marina and Shilo is taking over.”

Dawson: “And more importantly, Syren is still on the apron. She hasn’t even entered the ring yet!”

Knots: “Yeah and when she gets in there, you’ll see. The entire match will change!”

Shilo goes for the pin.

Ravyn gets her shoulder up again. Shilo then turns and grabs Ravyn and drags her up before kneeing her in the back and then pulling her down with a backbreaker. Ravyn winces and rolls over slowly, holding her back in pain. She gets up and Shilo grabs her and then goes to whip her, but Ravyn reaches up and pokes Shilo in the eyes. Shilo staggers back and Ravyn dives over and tags in Syren. Syren then climbs up to the top rope and Shilo turns around as Syren dives off and attempts a flying dropkick, but Shilo catches her by the legs and then turns her over and locks in a boston crab. The crowd cheers as Syren yells in pain, frantically thrashing around. Ravyn suddenly gets up and nails Shilo in the back of the head. She then drops back and rolls out of the ring as Marina enters the ring and runs over. The referee turns and stops Marina from going after Ravyn and pushes her back towards her corner. Shilo slowly gets up, holding his head before turning around and Syren hits a blatant low blow. Shilo then turns and collapses to the mat, holding himself in pain as Marina finally exits the ring. The referee turns around as Syren gets up and the crowd boos loudly.

Knots: “I told you! Syren would enter and everything would change!”

Dawson: “Yeah. Thanks to cheap shots and cheating!”

Syren smiles and walks over and stomps Shilo in the head. She then stomps him again before grabbing him and lifting him up. She skips around him a bit before running into the ropes and jumping up and attempting a bulldog, but Shilo catches her and just lifts her up before hitting a back suplex. The crowd cheers and Syren rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Syren getting a bit cocky and Shilo just planted her with that back suplex.”

Dawson: “Yeah. Syren got Shilo down and already started to celebrate by skipping around a bit.”

Sharper: “And I doubt Shilo cared for that given that he just lost the US Championship at Retribution!”

Shilo then turns and looks over to Marina and Marina smiles and he takes her in. Marina enters the ring and Syren starts to get up and Marina runs over and hits a swinging neckbreaker. Marina turns and goes for the pin.

Ravyn pulls her off. Marina rolls over and Ravyn then dives down on top of her and nails her with a hard right and then another before Shilo turns and runs into the ring and Ravyn gets up and backs up. Shilo then runs over and grabs Ravyn and goes to throw her over the top rope, but Ravyn stops. She catches Shilo with an elbow, but Shilo then clubs her in the back before then grabs Ravyn and grabs her by the head. Marina meanwhile gets up and Syren suddenly jumps up and grabs her, hitting the Total Makeover. The crowd ohs and Syren pins her as Shilo attempts to hit the Shiranui, but Ravyn holds onto the ropes. The referee sees the pin and goes for the pin.

The crowd boos and Shilo lets go and Ravyn quickly drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring. Shilo turns around, completely shocked before looking at Syren jumping up and down and just shaking his head. He turns and kicks the bottom rope in anger as Ravyn runs around and joins the SCW Women’s Champion.

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. Syren and Ravyn Taylor cheated and cheapshotted their way through this match. Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent outwrestled them. Syren and Ravyn win. Unbelievable.”

Knots: “And that’s all that matters. No one cares who outwrestled who. They just care who wins.”

Syren and Ravyn continue to celebrate at ringside. Shilo Valiant just shakes his head before turning and dropping down and catching on Marina as she starts to stir. Shilo slowly helps her up as the cameras turn back to Dark Fantasy, who continue to celebrate as they start to get to the rampway.

The scene opens backstage as we see Sasha Drachewych walking through the backstage area. She can be seen going to the locker room of Jason Zero before stopping and taking a deep breath before knocking on the door. She stands in front of the door for a moment, waiting....waiting.....waiting.....nothing. She knocks again and then continues to wait...and wait....and wait some more. She then shakes her head before knocking again. The camera pans out to reveal Jason Zero leaning on the wall around the corner. He glances over and just scoffs silently before shaking his head and walking off. Sasha continues to wait at the door as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Josh Hudson vs. “Bad” Billy Mitchell

The lights dim, drawing the attention of the crowd just as the howl of a distant wind sweeps through the speakers. High above the stage, the massive video-screen begins to glow a dull gold as the image brightens to reveal a setting sun. The slow opening chords to AC/DC’s “Shoot to Thrill” begin to echo through the speakers, drawing a few rousing cheers from the now-anxious fans, as the image on the screen pulls back to reveal a faded ‘Wanted’ poster nailed to a tree. Another guitar chord plays as the scene pushes in, revealing the wanted man as “Bad” Billy Mitchell. With the music building in the background, the Mitchell on the poster suddenly turns to face the crowd, his lips twisting into a brazen smirk as he lifts a gun-shaped hand to his lips and blows, causing the lights to cut instantly.

PULL THE TRIGGER!!!!!

Rapid gunshots echo through the arena, the sounds booming in the speakers as bullet holes appear in the black screen, slowly spelling out the word “BAD”. One final shot causes the image to shatter like glass, the pieces falling away to reveal a fast-cut montage of Mitchell in past matches, celebrating with the crowd, or putting opponents away with the ‘Silver Bullet’. An eruption of silver-white pyrotechnics rips up through the stage, silhouetting the “American Outlaw” as he’s catapulted into the air through a hole in the steel, sending the already roaring crowd into a frenzied ovation. Picking up in the middle of the chorus, “Shoot to Thrill” thunders at full volume as the lights return in dazzling strobes and spotlights of gold. Still standing at center-stage, Mitchell spins in place a few times while throwing his arms out wide, causing the duster to billow around him. Planting his feet, he stops short and cocks one hand like a six-gun, slapping at the thumb while firing up into the rafters, causing small pyrotechnic explosions with each ‘shot’, sending the sparks raining down onto the fans. Finally bringing the ‘gun’ up to his lips, he blows the smoke off the barrel and slowly starts to lope down the ramp. Moving from one side of the ramp to the other, Mitchell slaps at every single hand he sees, before making his way to one of the young women at ringside and crooking his finger, prompting her to lean over the guardrail. Looking to either side, Mitchell pulls his hat off and slips it on the woman’s head while leaning in and pressing a slow, sultry kiss onto her lips, drawing catcalls and wolf whistles from the rest of the crowd. Breaking away, Mitchell fans himself a little and clasps at his heart, before turning and rolling into the ring. Pushing to his feet, he crosses to one of the corners and mounts the middle rope, throwing up both hands with the ‘Bottoms Up!’ gesture, earning a deafening ovation from the fans. Bobbing his head in time to the beat, Mitchell leans his shoulders back and rolls them in time to the music, allowing the duster to slide slowly down his arms, revealing his rugged physique and drawing even more calls from the female fans. Pulling the coat loose, he lobs it to a crewman before dropping to the mat and using the ropes to stretch out as his music fades.

Knots: “Talk about taking a walk straight to hell. Who did Mitchell piss off?”

Dawson: “Well I don’t know about that, but Mitchell wanted a challenge. He’s getting one...against a very pissed off Josh Hudson.”

“Love Me or Hate Me, It Doesn’t Make a Difference" can be heard throughout the arena, as it echoes through the PA system and then it breaks into “Lie". Out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and nods his head yes, and then begins to head down to the ring. He ignores the various boos and the middle fingers and trash talk from the fans, walking down the ramp with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, smirking, before dropping down and sitting against the turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson seems to look find now, but given the way that Retribution went, who knows....”

Dawson: “He was unable to make CHBK tap out. He then took it out on him. Is Mitchell next?”

The bell sounds and Josh Hudson suddenly runs at Mitchell and nails him with a hard kick to the ribs and then a hard right and then another and another and another. Mitchell falls over into the corner and Hudson nails Mitchell with another hard right and then nails him with a shoulder to the ribs and then another and another and another. The referee moves over and counts at Hudson. Hudson just nails Mitchell with another blow before the referee just moves in and starts to push Hudson back. Hudson then pushes the referee away and Mitchell reaches up and nails him with a hard haymaker. Hudson staggers back. Mitchell nails him with another haymaker and then kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and whips Hudson into the corner and Hudson bounces chest first before falling back to the mat.

Sharper: “I think we got a couple of answers there. Hudson isn’t going to wait and isn’t going to care about the rules, but Mitchell is going toe to toe with him.”

Dawson: “He almost has to. It’s the only way he’s going to survive if Hudson just comes right at him.”

Hudson starts to get back up and Mitchell walks over and clubs him hard across the back. Hudson falls to his knees and winces and Mitchell clubs him hard again. He then grabs him and lifts him up before turning and whipping him into the ropes. Hudson bounces off the ropes and Mitchell lifts him up and hits a hot shot, falling back into the ropes. Hudson pops back, holding his throat and falls to the mat before Mitchell goes for the pin.

Hudson kicks out. Mitchell gets up as Hudson rolls over. He then slowly starts to pull himself up. Mitchell turns and grabs him and then turns and grabs him before spinning around and throws him face first into the top turnbuckle. Hudson turns around and Mitchell turns and stomps Hudson in the ribs and then again and again and again, before knocking him to a seated position. Mitchell then starts to stomp away, mudhole stomping him in the corner. He then hits him hard in the ribs before turning around and walking around the ring.

Sharper: “Mitchell turning away Hudson’s aggressiveness with some of his own.”

Knots: “Yeah. I’m a bit shocked. He’s just going right after him.”

Mitchell turns and then runs at Hudson and runs at him and nails him with a knee in the corner. The crowd ohs. Hudson just falls over a bit and Mitchell then grabs him by the arm and drags him out from the corner. He then goes for the pin.

Hudson kicks out again. He rolls over and Mitchell turns and gets up. Hudson starts to pull himself up and Mitchell grabs him. He then lifts him up and knees him in the ribs. Mitchell then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and attempts a huge lariat, but Hudson ducks. Mitchell stops. He then turns around and Hudson grabs him and lifts him up and down with a side belly to belly suplex. Mitchell rolls over and gets back up and Hudson quickly grabs him by the arm and pulls him down with a fujiwara arm bar. Mitchell yells in pain as Hudson pulls back.

Sharper: “Hudson’s locked in the fujiwara armbar! He’s trying to tear Mitchell’s arm out of his socket!”

Knots: “He may not have made CHBK tap, but he may be looking to make Mitchell tap!”

Mitchell reaches out with his other arm as Hudson continues to pull back, yelling in the process. Mitchell continues to move forward the ropes and reaches out again as Hudson keeps pulling back. Mitchell moves closer and Hudson then lets go. He rolls over and stomps Mitchell in the back of the head. He stomps him again before then pressing his foot against the head of Mitchell and pushing down. Mitchell reaches for the ropes as the referee calls for another break. Hudson then turns and looks at the referee before starting in towards him. Mitchell starts to slowly get up and pulls himself up via the ropes and Hudson then turns around and runs at Mitchell before grabbing him from behind and throwing him back with a violently quick snap German suplex. The crowd ohs as Mitchell rolls over, holding his head in pain.

Dawson: “Oh my God! He dropped him on his head.”

Sharper: “Hudson used everything he had in that German suplex and he may have just knocked out Mitchell with that shot.”

Knots: “And if he isn’t knocked out, he may wish he is.”

Mitchell rolls over and Hudson does as well before grabbing him and clubbing him hard in the back. He clubs him again. He then clubs him a third time, with each progressively becoming more pronounced. He then grabs Mitchell and jumps up before pulling his head down into his knee. Mitchell rolls over, holding his head in pain. Hudson then turns and looks at Mitchell. Mitchell starts to stir and Hudson continues to glare at him. Mitchell starts to pull himself up a bit before spinning around and Hudson then hoists him up onto his shoulders. Hudson then throws him up before adding some extra impact on the knee and Mitchell just falls to the mat, out of it as the crowd ohs. Hudson then drops down and goes for the pin.

The crowd boos loudly as Hudson slowly gets up, looking down at him. He then slowly backs away before just falling to his knees and looking at him.

Dawson: “Wow. Hudson just decimated Mitchell at the end.”

Sharper: “Pure rage and sometimes passion can’t counter that.”

Knots: “And just think...Hudson may have just lost everything he had. He may be a man possessed.”

Dawson: “What does that mean for SCW...”

Hudson continues to just stare at Mitchell as Mitchell remains down on the mat. The referee just watches Hudson, hoping he doesn’t attack Mitchell. Hudson, however, just remains completely still, glaring at Mitchell before we cut backstage.

Backstage we see Syren along with Brittany Lohan and Ravyn Taylor. Syren can be seen skipping around her room, clearly pleased with the win Dark Fantasy got over Karnivale.

Ravyn: “Can you please stop? I think I’m going dizzy.”

Lohan: “I can make her stop, but probably that won’t go over well.”

Ravyn laughs at the statement as Syren stops and just pouts.

Syren: “Hey! That’s not nice!”

Ravyn: “Well, you’re kind of asking for it. Parading around after your win like this.”

Syren: “This is just how I’ve decided to celebrate. Especially since we can’t drink until after the show. What is up with that? I mean. It’s St. Patty’s Day! We should be able to celebrate...or, ya know...get a Tag Title Shot.”

Ravyn: “Well, you may have a point there, Zoe. We did beat one half of the Tag Team Champions.”

Lohan: “The other one probably can go down just as easily.”

Ravyn: “With our tactics, anyone can?”

Syren: “Well I say we ask Susie for a title shot!”

Ravyn: “First off, it’s Sasha. And secondly, go ahead. I think this may be fun.”

Syren gets up smiling before then starting to walk out before stopping. She then giggles a bit before running over and grabbing her Women’s Championship. She then turns and starts to leave the room before suddenly stopping and letting out a little shriek. Ravyn and Brittany immediately get up as Syren walks back and we see CHBK leaning in the doorway.

Syren: “Gah!”

CHBK: “You know. You really should probably close your door if you’re going to make big statements. I mean, someone could be walking by and hear it.”

Ravyn: “Or could be looking to catch a peak.”

CHBK: “Well after the show you gave the cameraman earlier....well, Syren did...I can do that from my office if I want.”

Syren: “Eww....that’s just creepy.”

CHBK: “Well just think about all of the people that are probably planning to google you as soon as they get home from the show....or maybe right now if they’re at home. You only need one hand to hold a beer. And well, isn’t there a little rumour going around about the two of you...”

Ravyn chuckles a bit.

Syren: “Ah....well....No! I mean...Ravyn!”

Ravyn: “Oh come on. You know you’d love to see two of your hottest assets bring UP business...”

Ravyn smirks as she walks up to CHBK. CHBK meanwhile chuckles a bit.

Ravyn: “What’s wrong? Starting to sweat. Can’t deal with all of the hot ass in one room.”

CHBK: “Well Ravyn, you’d like to think that. In fact, I know you do. But you’re the one flirting with a forty-six year old. So who’s doing what?”

Ravyn smirks.

CHBK: “Now, Ravyn...step back....and instead of trying to find out how stiff you can make your training bra in order to make your A-cups look like something. Syren, stop shaking your ass and hope that gets you somewhere. You want a Tag Title shot...which is the reason I’m here, since I overheard that part...maybe pick up a few more wins. Then we’ll talk.”

CHBK turns around and exits the room. Syren sticks her head out into the hallway, watching him walk off before turning around and looking at Brittany Lohan and Ravyn Taylor.

Syren: “Hmph! Well doesn’t he think he’s something....”

Ravyn just smirks.

Brittany: “What?”

Ravyn: “A challenge....I like it....”

Ravyn continues to smirk as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Aaron Rupp standing backstage, talking to one of the official as he looks at his Adrenaline Championship.

Rupp: “Thanks. Feels really good to have won it. You can’t even begin to know the sense of accomplishment. Maybe now we can make another division rise up and turn some heads.”

Official: “You and Brayden did it once. You can probably do it again.”

Just then, we hear someone clearing their voice and the camera pans out as Rupp glances behind him and then turns around and we see Masquerade standing behind him. Rupp turns and smiles. He then extends his hand.

Rupp: “Hey Masq. Just wanted to extend my props to you for a great match.”

Masquerade: “Well, Aaron. Congratulations. Though I do wish that belt was still with me.”

Rupp just smiles.

Rupp: “Oh, I can understand that.”

Masquerade: “Look, I’m not looking to taint your win. But I know I can beat you. And I don’t want to be seen as a two week champion. I think I can beat you and get my title back. So Aaron, wha-“

Masquerade pauses as the camera pans out some more and the crowd roars as we see Brayden Walker walk up behind Aaron Rupp. Masquerade just smiles through his mask.

Brayden: “Carry on...”

Rupp: “Actually Brayden....Masq....I’ll gladly give you a rematch, but only on one condition, but I think this is one that you’ll go for. We want a shot for the Tag Team Championship. We both made that division something to watch. Let’s make sure it stays that way.”

Masquerade just nods and smiles.

Masquerade: “I think that’s a deal we can make.”

All three men smile as we return to ringside.

Sharper: “Did I hear that right? An agreement. Rupp and Masquerade for the Adrenaline title if we see Liberation and Karnivale for the Tag Titles. That’s huge!”

Dawson: “It was the match we thought we’d see at Body, Heart and Soul. Maybe at Tactical Warfare?”

Madison Steward vs. Ashley Cherry

“Dynamite” blasts through the arena, one single blue spot light flies around the audience, lighting up random fans, as the music gets louder. When the spot finally settles on the middle of the stage, Madison Steward sprints onto the out to the awaiting crowd. Madison throws her arms in the air getting a small pop from the crowd. She hops back and forth on the balls of her toes, showing the energy she possesses. She also flashes the multitude her award winning smile as she exhibits her excitement and it shows as she waves wildly to the crowd. 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: Madison just coming off her first shot at the SCW Women’s Championship and picking up some valuable experience for the next time.

Knots: Not necessarily Jim, according to word around the locker room. Giovanna Steward is starting to have some doubts about Maddy. It’s going to be very interesting to where she stands on the match tonight.

An extended intro to Jadakiss's "Kiss of Death" begins to play...

If they ask what happened
Tell them it's the Kiss of Death

The crowd cheers as a little more instrumental plays for the song followed by...

If they ask what happened
Tell them it's the Kiss of Death
Tell them, Kiss
The Kiss of Death

"Better Version" by Shinedown begins to play leading to more cheers from the crowd. Ashley Cherry comes from behind the curtain and pumps up the crowd with a smile on her face. She slaps some of the fans hands on the way towards the ring. She enters the ring and outstretches her arms as the crowd continues to cheer. She hops on the turnbuckle and looks out into the crowd, soaking in the energy and raising her fists in the air.

Dawson: Ashley Cherry looking calm and focus as she plays to the fans distaste for her.

Sharper: Madison has quite a challenge in front of her right. Ashley Cherry has shown she isn’t afraid to go up against Lenne Perez or Katie Steward.

Ashley climbs into the ring and stares at Maddy who is stretching in the corner getting her ready. The referee signals for the bell and it sounds throughout the arena. Ashley and Maddy head to the center of the ring where Ashley holds out her hand showing a sign of sportsmanship towards Maddy. Maddy takes a breath as she quickly calms herself and accepts Ashley’s good sportsmanship. As they shake hands suddenly Ashley pulls Maddy in and jumps behind her and whips her down pulling on the hair and Maddy hits the mat hard.

Dawson: Dirty tactics being shown by Ashley Cherry which will be very useful against a naive Madison.

Maddy holds onto her head as Ashley reaches down and grabs her hair and pulls her back up to her feet. Ashley scoops Maddy up and slams her down on the mat just showing her power over Maddy. Ashley walks over and steps on Maddy’s hair. She reaches down and grabs Maddy’s arm lifting her up off the mat and pulling on Maddy’s hair as she screams.

Sharper: Well if there was any doubt of Maddy’s qualifications of being a Steward, she just cleared it up.

Knots: I knew this was going to be a great match; we might get to see Ashley pop Madison’s Cherry tonight.

Dawson: Ladies and Gentlemen, his name is Jonathan Knots and you can forward all emails to Knots@supreme.com.

The referee starts to yell at Ashley and warns her of her pending lose if she doesn’t let go. Ashley drops Maddy’s arms to the mat and holds her own arms in the air acting like she is doing nothing, but the referee desn’t buy it and still yells at Ashley to get off of Maddy’s hair and let her up.

Ashley turns away from the ref and walks off Maddy’s hair and paces around the ring.

Dawson: Ashley looks to be playing with Madison a little. Letting her know she is in the palm of her hand right now.

Maddy rolls over and starts to get back up to her feet. Ashley walks over and grabs her helping her. The camera cuts to the stage to get a shot of Gigi Steward heading to the ring to help support Maddy. She looks over her shoulder checking if anyone is following her. Ashley gives Maddy a hard chop across the chest and knocks Maddy down to one knee. Ashley spots Gigi at ringside and she smiles and grabs Maddy and locks her up in a headlock. Ashley suddenly throws Maddy in front of her and kicks her in the gut and then plants her with a DDT in center of the ring.

Sharper: A nice spike DDT b y Ashley Cherry.

Ashley rolls Maddy over and covers her for the pin.

Maddy kicks out as the referee’s hand was coming down for the three. Ashley argues with the ref a bit as Maddy rolls over and starts to climb to her feet. Maddy gets a blank look on her face and her eyes roll back in her head.

Sharper: Maddy looks like that DDT took a lot out of her. I wonder if she knows where she is right now.

Ashley grabs Maddy and helps her to her while giving her an ear full of trash talk. Gigi bangs her hands on the apron trying to get the fans going behind Maddy. Ashley holds Maddy by her hair and drags her around the ring. Suddenly Maddy has too much of Ashley’s mouth and she breaks Ashley’s grip on her. Maddy throws a few punchs at Ashley getting her off her balance and Maddy follows up by running to the ropes and bounces off them and jumps into Ashley’s arms hitting a body slam as Ashley falls back to the mat with Maddy on top for a quick pin.

Ashley bench presses Maddy up and off her to break the count as the ref’s hand hit the mat for two.

Dawson: A Body Slam, very nice, very basic from this freshmen diva.

Ashley gets up off the mat, but Maddy is already up and firing away with head shots at her trying to keep Ashley down. Ashley gets to her feet and pushes Maddy back and she stumbles into the corner. Ashley then charges at Maddy in the corner, but Maddy gets her feet up and kicks Ashley away. Maddy quickly leaps over the middle ropes and onto the apron and she climbs the turnbuckle. Ashley turns back around and catches Maddy on the turnbuckle. The two struggles for leverage and Maddy manages to rake Ashley in the eyes to get her to back off.

Sharper: Madison apparently picking up some bad habits from her opponents over the last month.

Maddy readies herself on the top ropes and stares at Ashley turning around. Maddy launches herself and connects with a front dropkick knocking Ashley down to the mat and Maddy quickly jumps on her for the cover.

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

Dawson: Madison Steward really has things going on her momentum. I am not sure what happened, but she is more focus now.

Knots: Don’t count Ashley out. All she needs is one move. One Move!

Maddy grabs Ashley by her hair and picks her up off the mat. Ashley thrust her shoulder forward and hits Maddy in the stomach sucking out of the air out of her. Ashley grabs Maddy’s legs and pulls them out from under her. Maddy hits the mat and Ashley grabs her arms and crosses them over her chest and rolls Maddy over and locks her in a Camel’s clutch.

Dawson: Ashley Cherry with the Mono-lock applied on Madison Steward.

Madison lets out some screams as she tries to fight it. Gigi shakes her head at ring side as she hears Maddy screaming. Gigi starts to look around the ring and walks over to the time keepers table in search of something. Maddy continues to fight the Mono-lock as Ashley starts to get up. Maddy starts to get up, but Ashley still holds her arms that are folded across her chest.

Dawson: Madison better be very careful, because if she gets to her feet she is in prime position for Sealed with a Kiss.

Knots: She is brilliant isn’t she, Ashley is playing Madison right into it.

Maddy continues to fight out of the hold as she is on one knee and Ashley continues to pull back in a bow and arrow lock now. Gigi reaches across the time keepers table and grabs a white towel. Gigi turns and rushes back to the ring as Maddy makes it back to her feet. The fans stand to their feet watching the divas action in the ring and eyes on what Gigi is going to do. Gigi pulls her arm back ready to throw the towel in the ring, but Maddy manages to bend herself out of the hold and spins herself around and kicks Ashley in the gut. Maddy pulls Ashley in and quickly hits her with the Twist of Fate in the ring.

Dawson: Madison just hit the explosion on Ashley.

Maddy rolls over and grabs Ashley’s leg for the cover as Gigi holds onto the towel.

1…

2…

3!!!

Maddy rolls off of Ashley as she catches her breath. She stares at Gigi who tosses the towel onto the apron as she shakes her head at Maddy.

Dawson: Madison Steward picks up the win against Ashley Cherry and what a win it was.

Sharper: But Dawson looks at the interaction between Gigi and Maddy. Maddy was near seconds away from losing this thing.

Dawson: And Maddy brought the fight to Ashley, Adam. Her burst of energy is what carried her pass Ashley Cherry.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Katie Steward walking into her locker room. She walks forward and looks in and then gives a stern cough. TJ Johnson steps up and runs over.

Johnson: “What do you need, my Goddess?”

Katie: “TJ....I need you, Paris and everyone else to leave. I need to speak with Robin.”

Katie turns and looks around as no one moves.

Katie: “Fine...stay....but Robin...”

Robin: “What is it Katie?”

Katie walks over to Robin and stands in front of her, patronizingly.

Katie: “I want to know why you did nothing at Retribution. And I want to know why you are back, ESPECIALLY if you’re going to do nothing!”

Robin just looks up at Katie and leans back on the couch.

Robin: “Katie...I was called to come back by Sasha. She said come back. I said okay. And as for Retribution....I didn’t think you wanted our help.”

Katie just scoffs.

Katie: “Well I don’t want your help. You are just supposed to naturally know when to offer your services to your Goddess!”

Robin just smirks.

Robin: “Well I guess I’m a bit rusty.”

Katie: “Hmmm!”

Katie turns away. She then turns back.

Katie: “Well I’m watching you....”

Katie then turns and looks at Paris.

Katie: “And you too. We need to get me my World Championship. And you two need to get me there. Or there will be hell to pay! If Sasha has finally seen the need to make me happy....well....then you two need to do it too!”

Paris: “Christ...I need some green food colouring for this. That will make me happy!”

Katie: “Hey!”

Robin just shakes her head, laughing a bit as Katie turns away, flipping her hair and walks off as we return to ringside.

Dawson: “Katie seemingly getting more demanding here tonight.”

Sharper: “Though she was assuaged rather quickly.”

Knots: “Yeah, yeah. She’s back on her quest. Her group is together. I don’t want to hear about it any longer than we have to.”

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

INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….

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

PATCHING WITH THE "SOCIAL MISFIT" EXPANSION...

The background sounds continue, then more words.

SUBJECT: THORN…

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

EVALUATION: DEADLY…

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

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

The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Death Before Dishonour” by Five Finger begin to play. The crowd cheers as we see Thorn walk out from the back, bandage on his head, but now without his eye quite as covered. Thorn looks around and then starts to make his way to the ring.

Sharper: “There you see the man who nearly won the World Championship at Retribution.”

Dawson: “But he had a lot in his way the stopped him. One of which was the World Champion and his friend, Jake Starr. But another was Infection before it seemingly fell apart here tonight. I’m still in shock because of that.”

Thorn walks over to the steps and climbs up them. He then enters the ring and walks around the ring before looking over to the ringside announce tables and demanding a microphone. He reaches through before then being handed one. He turns around and walks around the ring as his music fades out. The crowd cheers him as he looks up and looks around before nodding his approval for the crowd.

Thorn: “Thank you for that. But as I stand here tonight, I can’t feel anything but a bit miffed that I’m not the new SCW World Champion here tonight.”

The crowd gives a bit of a mixed reaction.

Thorn: “Now, at the same time as my saying this, I’m more than happy that Jake Starr is still the champion. Because he and I put on a hell of a show. He and I showed what it was to fight for the World Championship. No BS. Just a fight between two people that respect each other, that are friends, and just wanted to show off to the world who is best. And on that night, he showed it. That’s what the record-books show. That’s what all of the people going home will think. And I’m okay with that.”

Thorn pauses for a moment before then continuing.

Thorn: “But I can’t help but think that if I hadn’t injured my eye at Two for One Special, the match may have been a bit different. I can’t help but think that had I not been attacked by Greg Cherry two weeks ago, things may have been a bit different. I can’t help but think that had Greg Cherry and Drachewych not involved themselves in that match, things had been a bit different. And THAT is something that DOES bother me. Win or lose, I will survive. But that it wasn’t a true one on one match between two people that damn well wanted to put on a show, THAT pisses me off.”

Thorn pauses as he slowly calms himself down and the crowd cheers loudly for him.

Thorn: “But I’m not out here to ask for another World Championship opportunity from Jake Starr. I know he’d give it to me in a heartbeat. What I am asking for...as I stand here....already in better shape than I was going into Retribution....is for another opportunity to give these fans the match they paid to see at Retribution. I want to give these fans what they deserve! What do you say about that?!”

The crowd cheers as Thorn looks around at the capacity crowd, vociferously showing their support.

Just then, we see CHBK walk out from the back, no music, just a microphone in his hand. The crowd cheers upon seeing him and CHBK looks down at the ring and smiles. Thorn turns and just walks over to the ropes and looks down at CHBK.

Sharper: “Well there is a Commissioner. The man he wants.”

Dawson: “With Sasha trying to get to the bottom of the Zero situation, CHBK is definitely the man he wants.”

CHBK brings the microphone to his mouth. He smiles as looks forward.

CHBK: “Well Thorn....I’ll be honest...I agree with almost you said. And while Sasha wanted to be the one to make this announcement here tonight, she’s focusing primarily on other matters, I have the honours. Because Thorn, you will be getting another opportunity. In fact, seven people will be getting an opportunity.”

The crowd roars a bit.

CHBK: “Because we’re bringing back the Tactical Warfare match, but not in the sense that it was last year...but more going back to the original SCW variation where the SCW Championship will be on the line. And Thorn, I am pleased to announce, you will be one of those seven that will get that opportunity. Hopefully this time...there won’t be any unwanted intrusions.”

The crowd cheers as “This is How a Heart Breaks” plays throughout the arena. CHBK turns around as Thorn smiles in the ring. CHBK makes his exit out of the arena and into the backstage area as Thorn continues to nod in approval.

Sharper: “Tactical Warfare returns, but with the SCW Championship on the line.”

Dawson: “Last time that was when....2005?”

Sharper: “Yeah. And that’s going to be huge. We know two of the people involved. Starr and Thorn obviously. But who else? Oh boy. This is going to be huge.”

Thorn continues to nod approvingly in the ring as the crowd cheers and CHBK’s theme plays throughout the arena and the scene fades to commercials.

COMMERCIAL:

David Helms, Bishop Steele & Fred Debonair vs. Lucas Knight, Dillusion & Sketch Retro

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

Roboto: Ladies and gentlemen, may I present none other than the Lost Boy!

The crowd goes nuts at this but Roboto holds up his hand and waits for them to quiet down.

Roboto: He weighs in at 151 lbs and hails from beyond the Spectrum... Sketch Retro!

'Path to Decay' begins to play and a a series of strange lights start blasting all around before conjugating in the middle of the stage. Almost as if he is being generated from those lights emerges the man known as Sketch Retro. The young teen slaps hands with the fans before sliding into the ring. He hopes to the first turnbuckle as the fans yell in mixed applause. He hops to the turnbuckle and pulls out a watergun filled with colored liquids of all colors. He shoots them at the audience who become colorful. He then does a backflip landing on his feet and crouching down, waiting for his opponent, backward crawling to one of the turnbuckles. 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. Wait and Bleed by Slipknot begins to pump through the arena speakers. 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 to reveal Dillusion eyeing the camera with a sadistic look he steps forward through the fire.

He smiles and then moves down the entrance way looking through the audience. He licks his lips and then rolls under the middle rope. He kneels in the center of the ring biting on his lower lip 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. The camera moves in close as you can see his lips move forming the word “BANG” which is followed by a massive explosion of pyro behind him. Out go the lights with a flick of a switch causing everyone in attendance to wonder what's going to happen next, then without warning their thoughts were answered with a booming voice over the P.A System while Gasoline by Porcelain & the Tramps plays…

Don't get in my face
Don't invade my space
I'll put you in your place
I'll only tell you once
I'll never tell you twice
And this is me being nice

You cross me once and you'll see
It's like a match in gasoline
Gasoline

With the pyro erupting, the stage entrance lights up and pacing back and forth like a caged animal is a silhouette of a man with a hood drawn over their head. They then stop and in doing so the arenas lights illuminate once more and standing there motionless is Lucas Knight. Shortly After we see two more people step out from behind the curtain, Christy Matthews and Nathan Slade. Christy Has a mic tucked away in her back pocket for just a moment as she now removes it with a smile to the crowd.

Christy Matthews: Ladies and Gentleman, Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada. He weighed in tonight at an incredible two-hundred and twenty-five pounds being accompanied to the ring by Nathan Slade and myself Christy Matthews… LUCAS KNIGHT!!

Knight throws his head back forcing the hood off extending his arms to soak up the atmosphere which is full of jeer’s and boo’s. Thel ook on Knights face says it all as all three descend the ramp towards the ring. When arriving at ringside Knight slides in under the bottom rope and scales the nearest turnbuckle only to remove his jacket and tossing it to the ground outside pointing at his wife with a grin before hopping down and testing the ropes as Nathan Slade Knight’s muscle stands by the ring watching the ramp like any form of security would..

Sharper: “And here you see an misfit team of sorts. Lucas Knight coming off a huge win over Fred Debonair, the new Underground Champion at Retribution. He’s already started to claim he’s the rightful number one contender to the title.”

Knots: “He’s got a point. I mean, better than David Helms clearly trying to kill himself in the ring. I mean, two weeks ago, he had three hardcore matches and he got his ass handed to him.”

Dawson: “And speaking of that, the Spectacular Ninja is not out here. One has to wonder if Dillusion downgraded him further or the injuries he’s sustained have caught up to him.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bishop then climbs down and stands behind Alexis in the center of the ring as she poses in front of him. He raises his hands again and red and orange pyros go off on the corner post as they stand in the center of the ring. The second verse plays.

Once the pyros are done he then takes of his sunglasses and get ready for his opponent. Alexis climbs out and his music becomes faint over the PA system. All is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a spotlight drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll across the video screen

INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….

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

SUBJECT: HELMS…

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

EVALUATION: DANGEROUS…

The gunfire and sirens halt as the chanting intro of “Downfall of us All” by A Day To Remember echoes around the arena. Two blue fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp as the song’s riff kicks in. The lights flicker back on and Helms can be seen on top of the arena, His manager Johnny Ward by his side as he looks out into the audience that are cheering loudly, chanting in some cases. He stops and smirks before throwing his arms into the air, jumping and hitting the Self High Five as Johnny shaddow boxes at the side of him. As Helms lands, fireworks go off all the way down the ramp before he resumes walking down the ramp, side by side with Ward, high fiving fans. As Ward climbs the steps, Helms slides under the bottom room and climbs the turnbuckle, one again raising his hands into the Self High Five. He hops down and walks over to Ward who flicks a quick one two playfully on his chin before dropping back down to the outside. Helms stands in the middle of the ring and waits for the start of the match, while on the outside Johnny starts to get the crowd behind his boy. The lights in the arena begin to die down as red and blue spotlights resembling Police cars circle throughout the arena as sirens wail all around. Suddenly the key intro for "Empire State of Mind" begins to play as Fred Debonair steps out from behind the curtain, he holds his head up high and raises his arms, the SCW Underground Championship in his hand, nodding as the crowd roar with approval and chant his name.

He begins to walk down the aisle and stops halfway before throwing up his hands once more and sporadic pyro's blast through from left to right behind him, on the stage. He stalks toward the ring before sliding in, underneath the bottom rope and jumping up onto a turnbuckle once more, hands in the air as the music slowly dies down and the house lights come back up. Debonair and Knight lock eyes before Helms walks over and stands right next to Debonair and just looks at him.

Sharper: “And that’s a look that could kill. Debonair and Knight locking eyes and Helms is right there.”

Dawson: “Helms is the one with the title shot. Not Knight and Debonair needs to remember that.”

The bell sounds and Helms turns and pushes Debonair back. Debonair walks back and Knight then runs over and nails Helms in the back of the head. Helms drops down and Knight mounts him from behind and starts to hammer away at him repeatedly in the back of the head over and over and over again. The crowd boos. Knight then gets up before turning and stomping Helms in the back of the head. He then bends over and grabs him and drags him to his feet and then nails him with a hard right. Helms staggers back into the corner. Knight then walks over and nails him with another shot before climbing up to the middle rope. He then nails him with a hard right and then another and then another, but Helms then lifts Knight up and hits him with an inverted atomic drop. Knight pops back and Helms nails him with a clothesline. He then turns and tags in Bishop as Knight gets up. He gets to his feet and Bishop Steele enters the ring and jumps up and hits a bicycle kick to the chest, knocking him over.

Sharper: “And some teamwork from the Next Level. Knight may be regretting starting this match as he did. He may have just pissed off Helms and Steele.”

Knots: “Yeah, but right now, he’s got Dillusion and Sketch Retro that may be wanting to make a name for themselves.”

Dawson: “Yeah, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re on the same page as Knight.”

Knots: “And I forgot. This is normal rules. So Dillusion may be useless.”

Knight rolls over and starts to get up. Bishop grabs him and lifts him up and nails him with a forearm shiver. He then grabs Knight and goes to send him into the ropes, but Knight spins around and sends Bishop into the ropes. Bishop bounces off the ropes and jumps up, nailing Knight with a flying shoulder. Knight rolls over and ends up in his corner. He then reaches up and tags in Retro. Retro quickly springboards and then jumps down onto the mat. Bishop turns and walks over and attempts a clothesline, but Retro ducks and runs into the ropes in front of him. He bounces off them and jumps up and hits a flying double knee to the jaw. Bishop staggers back. Retro then nails him with a kick to the ribs before running back into the ropes. He bounces off them and Bishop scoops him up and takes him over with a powerslam into a pin.

Retro kicks out.

Sharper: “Bishop takes Retro over and nearfall there.”

Dawson: “Retro apparently is focusing on the Underground division. This is not his historically given division.”

Sharper: “I’d be thinking the Adrenaline division would be a better fit, but he’s here and Roboto says he can hang with these guys.”

Retro slowly stirs and Bishop grabs him and lifts him up. He then turns and knees him in the ribs. Retro winces and Bishop then hoists him up and attempts a gutwrench and pulls Bishop up onto his shoulder, but Retro rakes the eyes and lands behind Bishop. He then turns and pushes Bishop into his corner. Bishop hits hard and Debonair tags himself in. Debonair enters the ring as the crowd roars and he moves in only for Retro to dropkick him in the knee. Debonair drops down and then starts to slowly pull himself up. Retro gets up and turns and bounces off the ropes before jumping up and hitting a leg drop DDT. He rolls over the Underground Champion and goes for the pin.

Debonair kicks out. Retro rolls off. He then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and hits a cartwheel, but Debonair rolls underneath him. He gets up and Retro turns and jumps up for a double knee, but Debonair catches him before throwing him down with a variation powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Retro rolls over and gets up. Debonair then whips him into the ropes. Retro bounces off the ropes and Debonair takes him over with snap belly to belly suplex. Retro rolls over, yelling in pain and Debonair slowly gets up. He then turns and runs over and nails Lucas Knight with a hard right. Knight falls off the apron and Debonair turns around and focuses back on Retro.

Knots: “What the hell was that? He nailed Knight.”

Dawson: “He nailed Knight! He specifically went for Knight.”

Sharper: “And Knight’s not too pleased, that’s for sure.”

Retro starts to stir and Debonair walks over and stomps him in the back of the head. He then picks him up and we then see Lucas Knight slide into the ring. He gets up and Knight grabs Debonair and hits a hangman’s neckbreaker. Debonair rolls over, holding his neck in pain. Just then, we see David Helms runs across the ring and jump up and hit a flying dropkick to the chest, knocking him down. Helms then backs up and turns around as the referee starts to push Helms back. Retro starts to stir and stumbles to the corner. Helms exits the ring and Retro tags in Dillusion. Dillusion enters the ring and Debonair starts to get up only for Dillusion to take him down with a Russian leg sweep. He then rolls over and looks around before running to the corner. He then turns and pulls himself up onto the second rope. He then dives forward and hits a knee drop to the jaw. Debonair rolls over and Dillusion then suddenly rolls out of the ring. He turns and looks underneath the ring before pulling out a bag as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Wait a minute! This is not underground rules!”

Knots: “Are you going to tell him? I would, but I value my life.”

Dawson: “Dillusion is entering the ring with a bag of something. I haven’t a clue what. The referee’s just seeing it now!”

Knots: “Dillusion becomes the legal man and within moments, he’s already screwing things up!”

Dillusion enters the ring and Debonair starts to stir. Debonair gets up and Dillusion goes to throw the contents of the bag down into the ring, but the referee steps over and goes to stop him. Dillusion however lets go of the bag with one hand, causing the contents to spill on the mat. The crowd roars as tacks come from all over. The referee grabs the bag and goes to throw it away before starting to kick some of the tacks out of the ring. Debonair, however, runs up and jumps up before drilling Dillusion with the Debon-AIR into the tacks. The referee however steps back and then turns and calls for the bell. The crowd boos loudly as Debonair rolls over, wincing in pain, and starting to pull tacks out. Lucas Knight however then enters the ring and jumps up and hits a kick to the chest, knocking Debonair back and into the tacks. The crowd ohs. Lucas Knight then quickly dives out of the ring as Helms and Steele enter the ring and run over.

Sharper: “Well Debonair drove Dillusion into those tacks, and then Knight sends Debonair into them.”

Knots: “Welcome to the Underground Division!”

Dawson: “And ironically, this match ends in disqualification, but Knight continues to go after Debonair and Helms, the rightful number one contender, I doubt likes it.”

Sharper: “And this situation is only going to get more intriguing. That smirk on Knight’s face says it all. Plus, Debonair has another challenge posed by Knight to answer!”

Knight smiles as he starts to walk around the ring. Helms just glares as Bishop Steele looks around the ring. The crowd boos as Knight laughs and continues to make his way out of the ring. Dillusion meanwhile laughs as Debonair slowly rolls out of the tacks.

We go backstage and we see CHBK walking through the backstage area, walking past several of the locker rooms and past some individuals and officials before turning the corner.

???: “Hey! Alex!”

CHBK stops and turns around and then looks down and just smirks a bit. Jason Zero then walks over towards CHBK and smiles back.

CHBK: “Why am I not surprised that you’re coming to me?”

Zero: “You’re where the actual power lies.”

CHBK: “So you think.”

Zero: “So...what do you need to know?”

CHBK: “It’s probably best we go to my office.”

Zero: “No funny stuff.”

CHBK just looks at Zero unimpressed as Zero laughs. The two then walk off as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Jake Starr vs. Christian Savior

“Coming Home” plays throughout the arena and the crowd starts to boo. Flames shoot out of the entrance way and we then see Christian Savior walk out from the back with the SCW United States Championship over his shoulder. The boos intensify and Savior continues on his way down to the ring. Savior makes his way down before walking over to the steel steps and looking up at the ring. He smirks as he pulls himself up and then walks along the apron and enters into the ring. He then walks over to the corner and throws his arm up in the air, the title hoisted high above him.

Sharper: “The United States Champion says he’s going to start on part two of his plan. He’s going to outdo whatever Infection could do. I don’t know about that, but if he wins tonight, he’s off to a hell of a start.”

Dawson: “Christian Savior has a chance to hand Jake Starr a loss and that’s something not to take lightly. Jake Starr has been one of the most dominant people in SCW ever.”

The arena goes dark, with just the sounds of the crowds and the flashes of the cameras. With the first chord of "Sandstorm" by Darude, two green spotlights shoot to the stage. As the song hits the post, fireworks erupt from the stage, and from behind the curtain emerges Jake Starr with the SCW World Championship over his shoulder. Upon first stepping onto the stage, Starr pauses to immerse himself in the electricity of the fans. He smirks as he looks around the arena. He walks down towards the ring, slapping the occasional outstretched hand of the fans around the ring. He quickly ascends the steps and enters the ring. Upon entering the ring he walks to the opposite corner and steps up to the middle turnbuckle. He once again cocks a smirk. The crowd reacts to his presence with a majority of cheers, and scattered boos. He points towards the crowd, and shows his appreciation by tapping his chest with the fist he had extended. He proceeds to repeat that gesture on the remaining turnbuckles, and finally settles in the ring.

Sharper: “Jake Starr still the World Champion, but he has to be thinking about Tactical Warfare now, now that we know the World Championship is going to be on the line.”

Knots: “Yeah and Jake Starr only has so much luck. He’s not necessarily going to be able to walk out of that match.”

Starr turns and places the World Championship under the turnbuckle and turns around only for Savior to run across the ring and attempt a spear. Starr sidesteps him and Savior goes face first into the middle turnbuckle. He pops up and stumbles back and Starr kicks him in the ribs and then nails him again. He grabs Savior and whips him across the ring and Savior bounces off the opposite turnbuckle and staggers out only for Starr to lift him up and back drop him down. Savior rolls over and gets back up and Starr kicks him in the ribs. He then sets him up for a flipping piledriver, getting the crowd to roar. Savior then drops down and rolls out of the ring to the floor. He then spins around and walks around the ring. Starr just watches him as Savior walks over to the rampway. He walks up it a bit before turning around and Starr runs at the ropes and flips over the top rope and hits a flip dive onto Savior. The crowd cheers and Starr rolls over before getting up and smirking.

Dawson: “Jake Starr going right after Savior and Savior is quickly in a bad way.”

Sharper: “The SCW World Champion is taking the United States Champion down and Savior quickly realizing that he may need to turn down his aggressiveness, because right now, Starr is taking him apart!”

Starr turns and Savior starts to get up and Starr nails him with a chop. Savior staggers back to the ring. Starr then grabs him and rolls him into the ring. Savior slowly starts to get up and Starr slides into the ring as Savior turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and Starr moves forward and clotheslines him down. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Savior kicks out. He rolls over and slowly starts to get up and Starr grabs him and lifts him up and drags him over to the corner, but Savior then hoists Starr up and spins him around before throwing him back with a back suplex into the corner. The crowd ohs as Starr rolls over, holding his head in pain. Savior pulls himself up in the corner and then runs over and stomps Starr in the side of the head.

Sharper: “Savior using the ring and Starr has a headache on his hands.”

Knots: “And that may be the least of his worries, particularly when Savior destroys his ribs with a spear and beats him in front of the world. He’s going to look to undo Rise to Greatness tonight!”

Starr slowly stirs and pulls himself up, grabbing onto the ropes. Savior turns and kicks him in the ribs and Starr pops up and stumbles over to the middle of the ring. Savior just smirks before running over and hitting a facebuster. He then rolls Starr over and goes for the pin.

Starr kicks out. He rolls over and Savior grabs him and then drives his knee into his spine. The crowd boos and Savior lifts his knee up and nails him again. He then grabs Starr and drags him up before throwing him over with a vertical suplex. Savior rolls over and then gets to his feet before exiting to the apron. He then starts to climb up to the top rope. Starr however stirs and Savior gets to the top turnbuckle only for Starr to fall onto the top rope and Savior hits hard, crotch first, on the top turnbuckle.

Knots: “Oh no! That’s going to end his plans tonight.”

Dawson: “Starr just stopped Savior and in a very unenviable way.”

Sharper: “Hard on the top turnbuckle. He’s hurting down there and Starr may be looking to hurt him again!”

Starr turns and climbs to the middle turnbuckle before jumping up and dropkicking Savior in the side of the head. Savior falls back and just lays on the top turnbuckle and on the ringpost. Starr rolls over and gets up and smirks as he climbs up to the middle rope and then grabs him and drags him up before hooking his arm. He then hip tosses Savior off the top rope and down hard into the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers as Savior rolls to his side. Starr turns and crawls over before rolling Savior onto his back.

Savior gets his shoulder up. Starr gets up and then jumps up and hits a leg drop. Savior rolls over and slowly stirs. Starr just smirks as he turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and Savior gets up only for Starr to jump up and nail him with a spinning heel kick. Starr then gets up and runs over to the corner before springboarding to the top rope and then diving back with a moonsault attempt, but Savior gets his knees up and Starr rolls over, holding his ribs in pain.

Dawson: “Moonsault didn’t pay off. Savior saw it coming. Got his knees up.”

Knots: “Just working on those ribs. Think of the big picture. Savior didn’t just see it coming. He was hoping he did that!”

Starr slowly starts to pull himself up and Savior gets up and then kicks him in the ribs before taking him over with a small package.

Starr kicks out. Both men get up and Savior kicks him in the ribs again before then gutwrenching Starr up and planting him with a sitout powerbomb.

Starr kicks out again. He rolls over and slowly gets up and Savior then grabs him and hits a reverse DDT. Savior rolls over and smirks as the crowd boos. Savior then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and jumps up and hits a knee to the face. Starr rolls over and gets to the ropes. He then starts to lift himself up and Savior just steps back. Starr then turns around and Savior grabs him before lifting him up and hitting an inverted atomic drop. He then pulls him in with a short-arm clothesline. Savior turns and then walks over and goes to the corner. He then spins around and squats down, looking right at Starr.

Sharper: “Oh no. This is bad for the World Champion. Savior is ready to uncork and unload on Starr!”

Knots: “Spear coming up! The same move that won him the US Champion is in just mere moments going to give him a win over the World Champion!”

Starr rolls over and slowly pulls himself up. He drops down before then pulling himself up before spinning around. Savior then runs at him and Starr leapfrogs over him. Savior stops and slides. He then spins around and gets up and Starr jumps up and nails him with an enziguri kick. Savior flips over and then gets back up. He turns around and Starr grabs him and attempts a DDT, but Savior spins around of it. He attempts another short-arm clothesline, but Starr ducks and then stops. Savior turns around and Starr hits a superkick. The crowd ohs and then cheers and Starr turns around. He then springboards to the top rope. He then looks around before diving off and hitting the Shooting Five Star. The crowd cheers and Starr turns and hooks the leg for the pin.

Starr then rolls over and holds his ribs in pain. The crowd cheers as Starr gets up to his feet. He then has his arm raised before he then turns and walks over to the corner and grabs his SCW World Championship.

Sharper: “And Jake Starr gets another huge win and dodges a bullet!”

Knots: “Savior was close damn it. So damn close!”

Sharper: “And now, Jake Starr, celebrating his win as he now goes into another huge match that will be Tactical Warfare.”

Starr turns as Savior starts to exit the ring. He drops down to the floor as he winces. Starr then walks to the middle of the ring and has his arm raised again as he lifts his World Championship over his head. The crowd cheers for a bit before suddenly, Starr is drilled from behind and knocked down hard. The crowd boos loudly before the referee is knocked down and we see Josh Hudson standing in the middle of the ring. He then bends over and grabs Starr before lifting him up. He then kicks him in the ribs before lifting him up onto his shoulders. The crowd boos loudly before Hudson looks around and Hudson then throws Starr forward and drills him in his jaw with his knee. Starr just falls back to the canvas as the crowd ohs.

Dawson: “Hudson!”

Sharper: “And he just drilled Starr with the Go 2 Sleep. I think Starr’s out!”

Hudson then looks over at the SCW World Championship which is on the canvas in front of him. He bends over and grabs the title before looking at it. He stares at it for a moment as the boos from the crowd start to intensify. Hudson then turns and throws the belt down on top of the downed Jake Starr. Hudson then looks at Starr for a moment before turning and walking out of the ring. He steps through the ropes and down to the floor. He then starts to walk to the back, without looking back. The camera turns back to the ring to focus on Jake Starr as he’s out of it. Savior just looks from ringside and smirks as the scene slowly fades to black...
