“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

 

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

 

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Brittany Lohan locking in the From California with Love before freezing and flying past the screen. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx pulling on a barbed wire wrapped bat stuck on Dillusion’s hair and then ripping away as Dillusion smiles from the sudden pain, before freezing and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

We see Dillusion hitting Anthony Wallace with a hard right hand before freezing and flying at the screen. A shot of Jason Zero dropping Sasha Drachewych with the Chaos Theory is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of David Helms holding the SCW World Championship over his head, before switching to a shot of Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

 

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

 

Shots of Gigi Steward and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Lucas Knight hitting someone with the UKOD, and followed by a shot of Shawn Winters hitting the Graven Image on Greg Cherry are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of the former SCW Tag Team Champions, Karnivale, are shown, posing with the titles before flying past the screen.

 

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

 

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Anthony Wallace, Mike Harrison, Thorn & David Helms, Lucas Knight, Karnivale, Vampira, Warren James, James Evans & Katelyn Buehler, Infamous and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.

The scene then switches to the inside of the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena before we sweep down to ringside.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to St. Louis, Missouri. We are in the Gateway to the West for our final stop before Retribution this Sunday. I’m Adam Sharper, alongside Jim Dawson and Donovan Kayl and tonight, we have two huge main events!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. Talk about a great day to come over to Breakdown! Tonight, we have a huge eight person tag match. Chad and his followers are going to take on everyone they’ve pissed off...”

 

A still of Chad Evans, James Evans, Katelyn Buehler & Ace Marshall vs. Gable Winchester, Stacy Kissinger, Warren James & Damian Angel come up on the screen.

 

Kayl: “...Led by the World Tag Team Champions, we’re going to see a lot of action there and all this just days before Retribution!”

 

Dawson: “But that’s not all, a huge main event. And we all remember the last time we saw this match...”

 

A still of David Helms vs. Lucas Knight comes up on the screen, getting some more cheers from the crowd.

 

Dawson: “...Lucas Knight was sent running off by David Helms just before Gang Rulz. Tonight, Lucas Knight may get some revenge, but David Helms is going to look to make a point tonight against someone Christy Matthews aligns with.”

 

Sharper: “That and so much more. Greg Cherry and Jason Zero will also go at it tonight. A lot more as we head towards Retribution.”

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system.


Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen. This beautiful display encourages and prompts her fan base to jump out of their seats and start clapping for their Goddess. Plush ruby red carpet is rolled down the aisle way just as Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtains. Miss Steward is all decked out wearing her long white coat and a stunning diamond studded tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair curls. Katie produces her famous smiles for the live audience, as boos come from the crowd. Multiple flash bulbs can be seen as the cameras snatch as many and every pose she graces them with.

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


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

 

Kayl: “Oh joy. We get Katie Steward to kick things off tonight.”

 

Sharper: “One has to wonder what she is thinking as she has been far more frustrated. Far more easily agitated as of late. Attacking Marina Trent on Ammo, Christy Matthews on the last Breakdown.”

 

Kayl: “Making friends I see.”

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

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

TJ Johnson: And finally, the reason why we have all come here tonight… She is The Queen of Queens, the ONLY True Queen in SCW....Get that through your heads!....Get your cameras and video recorders ready for… KATIE STEWARD….

Katie gracefully walks up the steel ring steps and onto the apron. She bends down enters the rings between the middle ropes that T.J. holds down for her. She walks over to the opposite corner and climbs onto the ropes. She just looks out at the crowd as the boos start to come from all over and Katie just looks out and sticks her hand in the air before turning back to TJ Johnson and stopping in the middle of the ring. She then looks around the arena as the boos continue. Her music fades out and a “Katie Sucks!” chant begins to echo through the Scottrade Center.

 

Kayl: “I think the crowd can’t tell the difference between Katie and Katelyn.”

 

Dawson: “Well...then again, Katie Steward’s arrogance doesn’t exactly endear her to the public.”

 

Sharper: “Add the not so subtle jab at Marina Trent there by TJ Johnson in the introduction.”

 

Katie looks at TJ and TJ Johnson glares at the crowd.

 

Johnson: “That is no way to refer to your Queen! We demand the respect WE deserve!”

 

The boos continue and the chanting grows as Katie just snaps at TJ.

 

Johnson: “Uh...please?”

 

Katie just pulls the microphone away from TJ Johnson.

 

Katie: “I come out here and grace you all with my presence and that is the reaction I get?!”

 

The crowd just boos further as Katie glares at the crowd.

 

Katie: “Despite the fact that NONE of you deserve to even be within eye sight of my beauty and my brilliance, I am here, making it clear that YOUR Queen....the QUEEN of QUEENS....MY reign will never end. No matter what anyone says!”

 

The crowd boos further.

 

Katie: “Is this some joke, SCW? I have always been Your Queen. I have always been the top diva in SCW. NO ONE has ever come close to that. Syren? Ha! She got lucky. Christy? She’s just looking to get people to care. Ducky? Ha...she can’t even tie her shoes up! And Marina....she’s NEVER beaten me. But now she’s going around calling herself the True Queen? The True Queen? That is a slap in the face to me and for what? Her jealousy! This is an epidemic in SCW. I cannot help that I am the greatest female to ever walk into SCW. Calli Bennett, Robin Brooks, Lenne Perez...they’ve all fallen at my hands. What has Marina Trent done? Sure...she shocked the world by beating Syren....Sure....she managed to get the world to care about her and Karnivale....but royalty....She only wishes.....”

 

Katie just scoffs as the crowd boos some more.

 

Katie: “First Christy Matthews disrespects me and now Marina...with SCW giving them what they want and forcing me to stand on the sidelines. I am YOUR TRUE QUEEN! And after this Sunday, Marina will just be forced to be known as a failure. No one tries to outdo me. No one tries to take what I’ve worked for. NO ONE!”

 

Katie just looks around as the crowd roars.

 

Katie: “So everyone can be jealous....Syren...no one cares about you. They just care about me. Everyone wants to be like me. Christy Matthews wants to try to be the first Women’s World Champion...Ha....She’ll fail. Marina Trent wants to be a queen oh so bad.....Everyone wants to be a Steward. But only I am the Queen and I am the greatest Diva in SCW histor-“

 

Before Katie can finish that, Marina Trent, who had hopped the guardrail and entered the ring from behind, runs over to Katie and just lifts her up and over the top rope to the floor, causing her tiara to fall to the floor and her coat to fold up and cover her head. Katie rolls over as TJ Johnson looks at Marina and Marina just kicks him in the ribs and pushes him out of the ring. TJ falls through the ropes and to the floor as Katie starts to get up and looks up at the ring. Marina just grabs the microphone. She then looks at Katie as the crowd cheers.

 

Marina: “Katie! Come on...Stand up. Rise up and be the queen that you constantly berate this crowd to remember you as.”

 

Katie starts to get up and TJ crawls over and holds her back a bit as Katie just glares at Marina. TJ Johnson gets up and stands in front of Katie, almost like a bad bodyguard.

 

Marina: “For someone who constantly reminds us how great you think you are, you can’t seem to do much face to face. Perhaps you can enjoy the irony of my attack then. But I hope that you can realize that while you may have had my number in the past, now, I have much more I’m fighting for. I’m fighting to dethrone you and should you wish to combat that, then I guess I only have the option of regicide. The Black Swan will be the new Queen and your alleged reign of terror will come to a crashing halt!”

 

The crowd as Marina backs up and Katie goes to move towards the ring. TJ Johnson however holds her back. Katie snaps at TJ a bit as “Whispers in the Dark” starts to play throughout the arena. The cheers continue a bit as Marina Trent just smirks at Katie. Katie continues to try and get into the ring.

 

Kayl: “Well we may have a new queen that the position of prominence!”

 

Dawson: “Katie Steward and Marina Trent have been thorns in each other’s side for so long. And this Sunday, no flukes, and not even a title on the line....at least in the traditional sense. Two out of three falls are needed to be taken to win and the winner can keep their title of royalty.”

 

Sharper: “The loser is stripped of that title. The True Queen of Marina Trent and the Queen of Queens Katie Steward. Someone will no longer be known by that name. Marina Trent starting to call herself that because of Katie. And it comes to an end at Retribution.”

 

Kayl: “I don’t want to be caught in that. Especially if Katie can’t make it three for three...or at least four out of five.”

 

The music continues to play and Marina Trent rolls out of the ring to the floor. Katie just starts to walk around, but TJ manages to jump in front of her and stop her some more as Marina backs away the rampway towards the back.

We then see a still of the Eight Person Tag Team Match as “Rescue Me” plays in the background, showing Chad Evans, James Evans, Katelyn Buehler & Ace Marshall against Gable Winchester, Stacy Kissinger, Damian Angel and Warren James.

 

Sharper: “A raucous start so far tonight. And it’s bound to continue. A huge eight person tag team war. Chad Evans and his followers against Gable Winchester, Stacy Kissinger, Warren James and Damian Angel.”

 

Kayl: “Talk about a huge match there. A lot of beef in the ring!”

 

The still then changes to show David Helms vs. Lucas Knight.

 

Dawson: “And our main event, David Helms, the SCW World Champion, faces Lucas Knight. Knight has the spotlight on him again.”

 

Sharper: “Can he deliver? And who will have the momentum going there as we head into this Sunday? All this and so much more, still to come, only on Breakdown!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up backstage to see Jessica Winters standing in one of the hallways backstage.

 

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Allow me to welcome, Jason Zero.”

 

The crowd boos as Jessica Winters turns and the camera pans out to reveal them to be standing outside of the locker room of Jason Zero, with Zero standing next to the SCW interviewer.

 

Jessica: “Now Jason, some of your comments have gotten some extra spotlight onto you, but before I ask you about that. I should ask...where’s Bastion Scythe?”

 

Jason just turns to Jessica and smirks.

 

Zero: “He’s doing some extra training. It seems that if I’m not riding his ass, he’s liable to get a bit complacent. Don’t let that fool you though. The man can destroy whatever stands in his way and the next time you see him, he will prove that again. Call it the winter blahs if you must, but regardless, he’ll be ready....think otherwise, well, that poor soul can find out how wrong they are.”

 

Jessica: “Fair enough, Jason. Beyond that, you’ve made several cryptic remarks. In public appearances you have mentioned that you cannot be defeated, but a lot of people are wondering as you’ve been quiet with regards to the position you share on the Board of Directors after flaunting it just a couple of months ago. To say some are intrigued would be understating the matter.”

 

Zero: “They would be. Nothing has changed on that front. The only matter that is different is that unlike Body, Heart and Soul, at Retribution, I am on the sidelines. A former seven time World Champion is on the sidelines. Well, fair enough. That only works to my advantage. Because Retribution, I will start the next phase of what I hope to do. And the world will be forced to watch. Until then, you can enjoy the fact that all of these people in this arena will get to see a glimpse of the past, favourable or not, when I face Greg Cherry in front of the world. The man who clings onto his accomplishments more than ever and by the passing week is more and more desperate. Well....Greg....let’s see how far that desperation can get you. Because tonight, I intend to only further make you panic as your world collapses around you!”

 

The crowd boos as Jason Zero turns back to Jessica Winters.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Jason. Back to ringside.”

 

Zero just smirks as he then backs up and returns to his locker room as we head to ringside.

 

Sharper: “The next phase at Retribution?”

 

Kayl: “Oh great. More overhyping from Jason Asshat!”

Sketch Retro vs. Shaun Cruze

 

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

Roboto: “Ladies and gentlemen, may I present none other than the Punk of Prism!”

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 pounds and hails from beyond the Spectrum... Sketch Retro!”

“Rainbow In The Dark” begins to play and 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 on his way down the ramp 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 water-gun 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.

Dawson: “Well as Sketch Retro waits for his opponent here tonight, there is most definitely an interested viewer in this match. And his name is Anthony Wallace.”

Sharper: “Sketch definitely has an uphill battle here tonight as he’s scheduled to take on newcomer Shaun Cruze, who spent a good amount of Ammo this past Friday looking for Anthony Wallace…”

Kayl: “Cruze should instead spend more time with furthering his career. This isn’t the past federation he was in. NOTHING will be handed to him here. He has to reach out and take it! I think he can, but you know…”

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

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

When the storm arrives
would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes I've deceived

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As his music ends he shakes the hand of the referee, his eyes now finally meeting those of his opponent. Sketch seems unsure of how to go about starting the match-up, but when the referee calls for the bell, Sketch does a backflip away from Shaun. Shaun actually looks a bit impressed as Master Roboto looks on at ringside. Sketch moves back towards Shaun and Shaun is ready to take on the opposition. Both nod before tying up. Shaun wins the tie-up and pushes off. As Sketch goes back in for more, Shaun delivers a Haymaker which rocks Sketch, but it’s not enough to take him off his feet.

Seeing this Shaun begins to throw left and right hooks and jabs before delivering a fist right to the gut that doubles over Sketch. Master Roboto reaches into the ring and gets Sketch by the feet and pulls him down and then through the ropes to safety. This gives time for Sketch to recover as Shaun Cruze looks over at Master Roboto, shaking his head.

Dawson: “Wow. Roboto saw that Sketch was in trouble already, very early in this match-up.”

Kayl: “That’s an understatement.”

Sketch recovers for a few more seconds as the referee starts a ten count. Sketch slides back in at the count of 3. As Sketch stands up, he runs towards Cruze with a head of steam, but Cruze sees him coming and hits a perfectly placed superkick. Sketch falls down flat on his back and Cruze goes for a pinfall attempt. The referee counts.

1!

2!

Sketch kicks out as Master Roboto exhales and breathes a sigh of relief at ringside.

Sharper: “Things aren’t going well at all for Sketch here tonight. But he has quite the interesting offense if he does get things turned around into his favor.”

However Shaun doesn’t allow the tide to change. As soon as Sketch kicks out, Shaun takes a hold of Sketch by the head and brings him up and over with a German suplex. Once it’s completed Shaun holds on and bridges over for a second German suplex, bringing Sketch again crashing to the canvas. Shaun lets go and looks around as the crowd slowly stands and cheers as Shaun now points to the top rope. Shaun doesn’t hesitate as he climbs to the top and comes off, looking to land on top of Sketch with a Swanton Bomb.

Sketch however rolls away at the last moment causing Shaun to eat canvas.

Kayl: “Something’s telling me Shaun won’t make that mistake again…unless if he’s like a certain OTHER Shawn around here…”

Sketch takes advantage of Shaun’s misfortune and while Shaun is writhing in some pain on the mat, Sketch is the one to take to the top of the ropes and go airborne. Although this time Sketch is successful with connecting with a suicide plancha. Sketch lays spread out on top of Shaun, reaching back to hook the legs. The referee assigned to the match is right on top of things.

1!

2!

Shaun kicks out and rolls his right shoulder at the same time. Sketch crawls off of Shaun. Shaun slowly begins to get up to his feet. Sketch bounces himself off the near set of ropes and knocks Shaun back down with a short-arm clothesline. Master Roboto nods on the outside and again points to the top rope. Sketch knows what Master Roboto is hoping for and Sketch climbs back up to the top, wasting no time or motion with coming off of the ropes with a Shooting Star…but as Sketch goes to nail the elbow drop in mid-air to an again rising Shaun Cruze, Shaun reaches his hands in and turns, nailing Sketch with a Twist of Fate causing Sketch to crash right to the canvas as the crowd applauds the maneuver. Shaun begins to psyche himself and the SCW fans up.

Dawson: “And here comes Shaun Cruze! That was one heck of a counter right there and he’s looking to take control!”

Sharper: “It’s not often that we see something like that, but Shaun Cruze is definitely capable of pulling something like that off. Let’s see if he can capitalize.”

Kayl: “At least he’s not worried about looking around the arena for Wallace…”

Sketch looks groggy as he begins to stagger his way to his feet. As soon as he’s just about up, Cruze pastes him right in the chest with a Crescent Kick. Sketch falls right back down as Master Roboto pounds the ring apron in frustration, looking up at Shaun Cruze. Shaun glimpses his way, but maintains his focus. He grabs Sketch and pulls him towards a corner. He props him up against the turnbuckle then goes to the adjacent corner and climbs to the top of that turnbuckle as people are getting to their feet, wondering what Shaun Cruze is about to do. The whole arena quickly finds out as Cruze takes the leap of faith towards Sketch and plants him squarely in the abdomen with the Iconic Tribute. Sketch just falls face forward and looks to be down and out of it on the mat as the crowd ohs.

Kayl: “Holy sh-!!!!”

Sharper: “Shaun going coast-to-coast on that one. That should be it…”

Dawson: “You would think so after that!”

Cruze recovers himself for a few seconds before turning around, dropping down and rolling Sketch over. Cruze covers up Sketch as the referee counts.

1!

2!

3!!!

The bell rings as “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell begins to play. Shaun has an arm raised by the referee. When the referee puts it down, he goes to check on Sketch Retro. Sketch looks a bit out of it, but he rolls over and over until he’s out on the ring apron. Roboto takes it from there as he helps Sketch back up the ramp towards the backstage area. Shaun Cruze at this point still remains in the ring as the crowd reacts positively towards him.

 

Wallace: “Shaun!”

 

The crowd starts to roar a bit and Cruze looks around.

 

Wallace: “Shaun! Up here!”

 

Anthony Wallace walks out from the back, microphone in hand. Cruze walks over to the ropes.

 

Wallace: “Shaun...I’m not going to come to the ring. I’m not going to attack you and in fact, I hope Sketch just rolls out of the ring and doesn’t bother coming after you.”

 

The crowd buzzes a bit as Cruze just looks at Wallace.

 

Wallace: “I don’t know....I don’t know why I attacked you. Jealousy due to your hyped up debut....anger....frustration. All I know is that I did it. Well...I know why, but no one would understand. See, Shaun....I’m not like you. I’ve got a unique way of dealing with problems and you know what, last Breakdown, I didn’t do things the way I should have. But I did anyways. So Shaun...all I say is wait. Wait until Retribution. Then you can really make a splash...and I can take out anything I have an issue with in a nice setting.”

 

The crowd continues to buzz. Shaun Cruze just looks at him confused.

 

Wallace: “I know you wanted to get your hands on me tonight, but Shaun....You know that that’s not what you want.”

 

Cruze just looks at Wallace as Sketch and Roboto start to make their way up the entrance way.

 

Kayl: “This is not making sense. Seriously, is everyone in that Rejected group off?”

 

Dawson: “Wallace seemed like the most normal, but last Breakdown, he snapped; tonight, he’s eerily calm!”

 

Wallace: “See you on Sunday, Shaun...”

 

Wallace then turns and starts to make his way to the back as Shaun Cruze then steps through the ropes. The crowd starts to roar and Shaun starts to walk towards the back. Wallace just disappears through the curtain and Shaun jogs through and pushes Sketch Retro and Roboto out of his way, nearly causing them to fall before running to the back. He runs through the curtain and the camera focuses on the curtain for a moment before the angle changes and we are backstage to see several officials starting to get in Shaun’s way. Shaun just looks around before starting to move forward.

 

Cruze: “Let me at him!”

 

The officials keep pushing him back as Wallace can be seen just walking off down the hallway, not looking back at all.

 

Cruze: “Wallace! You want to come after me like that! I’ll be ready for Retribution! You know it!”

 

Cruze just concedes a bit of defeat as he then looks around before the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up in the locker room of the SCW Tag Team Champions. The crowd roars seeing them as the camera pans out and we see David Helms talking with them. No sound is picked up as David Helms just talks to Stacy Kissinger and Gable Winchester and Kissinger just nods as Helms smiles a bit. Gable just pats him on the back before they all look to their titles before we head to ringside.

 

Kayl: “The World Champion and the World Tag Team Champions talking. What do you think it’s about?”

 

Dawson: “We know that the Tag Champs aren’t too happy with Infamous. The focus on defending the titles have taken their minds of it.”

 

Sharper: “Perhaps just making sure the backup is in place.”

Joachim Fiore vs. Aiden Maddox vs. Corey Douglas vs. Sebastian Shane

 

Cue the sound of an operatic voice, followed after by violin’s starting to play, now fading in, piano and other classical instruments to form the opening for Requiem for a Tower. The crowd in attendance starts to pay attention as the lights begin to dim apart from one which shines down brightly onto the entrance curtains. It isn’t long after the curtains pull back and out walks Sebastian Shane wearing his white and gold robe which is embroidered with diamonds and rubies which shimmers in the light. Standing alongside him of course is Miss Violet Black and his Head of Security, Mr. Grecko…

Phillips: Ladies and Gentleman, hailing from Hollywood Hills, California, weighing in tonight at two hundred and twenty pounds… being accompanied to the ring by his personal assistant Miss Violet Black and Head of Security Mr. Grecko… SEBASTIAN SHANE!

Sebastian Shane smiles as he and Miss Black head down the ramp towards the ring while Grecko stands firmly at the top of the stage nodding his head accordingly as he appears to listen into his headpiece. The crowd boo all three individuals however Shane isn’t deterred in the slightest to the heckles from the fans he obviously deems beneath him. Miss Black on the other hand, seems a little taken back before refocusing on why she’s there to begin with and in the distance, Mr. Grecko beings to follow. Once they both reach the bottom of the ramp Grecko take point at the foot of the ring looking back up at the entrance way, as Sebastian Shane walks around to the nearby steel steps and stands at the foot of them as Miss Black slowly walk up, and then along the apron before turning to face her employer. Shane nods his head with an aura of confidence as she sits on the middle rope, now lifting up the top with her shoulder as he now walks up the stairs and across the apron before entering the ring with a slight hop before spinning once and opening his robe to reveal his athletic physique which gets a few screams from the female fans. While the majority of fans continue to boo, Shane then extends his arms with his head lowered for effect as Miss Black now comes from behind him and removes the robe folding it neatly in her arms and exit’s the ring herself leaving Sebastian to pull at the ropes and prepare for his match, loosening his neck and shoulders in the process.

Dawson: What a momentous entrance from this young man here tonight. Shane is ready for this match. A grueling four man free for all where only man can win via pinfall or submission.

Kayl: Well you know guys, I’m sure that robe set himself back a could hundred thousand. Is that in the SCW costuming budget?

Dawson: You would that better than Adam or myself, Donovan.

“This is Now” hit’s the PA system and out comes Corey Douglas with his finance, Bridgette Burns, and his bodyguard, Trey Williams, to a crowd full of negativity. Corey stands at the top of the ramp smiling, absorbing all the boos from the crowd. After a few moments he drops to his knees and spreads his arms out like a cross, Bridgette and Trey stand on each side, and pyro shoots off behind them. Once the pyro is done , Douglas jumps up and starts to make his way down the ramp with an arrogant smile, and a cocky walk. He finally slides in the ring and goes to the middle of the ring, drops to his knees again and spreads his arms likes a cross. Corey gets up and awaits his the rest of his opponents, keeping a wary eye on Shane and Shane’s escort.

Sharper: Another young man, Corey Douglas has entered the ring. He took has a pair of goons.

Kayl: That’s smart thinking right there, It evens outs the odds and makes this match slightly more fair.

Dawson: What do you mean slightly more fair?

Kayl: Well, they could attack each other, but then they could be distracting the ref, pulling illegal foreign objects. Hell, the girls could just look cute and stand around. Sorta like Kassie Khane does from time to time.

“Last Fight” plays through the arena as Aiden Maddox walks through the curtain and stands on the stage. He is wearing a black unbuttoned shirt with combat boots and simple black jean shorts. He slowly walks down towards the ring giving some of the fans along the barricade high fives and shaking hands but he is focused on the ring and the two other men inside. He reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He takes the shirt off and throws it out of the ring and climbs onto the middle rope at the turnbuckle, raising his hand up as the crowd cheers him.

Dawson: Aiden Maddox, grabbing a fan following quickly here tonight.

Kayl: Plus some lucky fan got a little present. He must be going through shirts like mad. He must buy them wholesale on the cheap.

The words “Joachim Fiore” flash across the SCWatron as “Scream Aim Fire” by Bullet for My Valentine plays its opening chords. While Maddox is descending the turnbuckle, Douglas and Shane both jump him, nailing him from behind with wild blows to the back.

Dawson: What a sneaky move. Fiore didn’t even have a chance to get to the ring yet.

Sharper: It’s a fatal four way. There’s no disqualifications, or count out.

Kayl: They’re teaming up early and trying to get wearing down one opponent.

Dawson: It’s fine to a point yo-

Kayl: Because teaming up only lasts as long as it convenient for those involved.

Dawson: I you would have let me finish.

Fiore comes rushing down to the ring as the bell rings wildly trying to get the action more orderly. Douglas and Shane throw Maddox out threw the middle rope, writing in pain. Fiore slides under the bottom rope and Shane and Douglas start hammering him down with boots to his back. Douglas pulls Fiore up to his feet, setting him up for a double dropkick from himself and Shane, knocking Fiore out of the ring. Mr. Grecko calmly walks over to the fallen Maddox and starts to straggle him. Douglas starts to gloat over throwing out two of his three opponents out of the ring, turning and seeing Shane still there. Shane gets the drop on him with a series of chops that pushes the surprised Douglas into the corner. Douglas is too stunned by the sudden attack on him that he is perfectly open for an inverted atomic drop from Shane, followed by a European uppercut to knock Douglas on to the mat. Shane yells out “Too Easy” as the crowd fills with boos as he places Douglas into a submission arm bar. The ref notices Mr. Grecko attacking Maddox and doesn’t catch not only the submission by Miss Black illegally applying more pressure by holding down on Shane’s shoulders, increasing the leverage of the arm bar.

Sharper: What is Shane doing? Using his personal assistant Miss Black in such a way.

Kayl: It looks more like a shoulder massage. You know what they say about rich kid’s personal assistants?

Sharper: No, I don’t.

Kayl: Oh.. Must be because you never one then.

The ref starts to motion to Grecko to leave the ring. Grecko stops his attack on Maddox and just looks at the ref. Shrugging his shoulders before stomping Maddox in the face. Grecko heads out of the ring area. The ref turns around as Miss Black has let go of Shane before the ref could realize what’s going on.

Dawson: The ref and thrown out Sebastian Shane’s Head of Security from this match!

The ref turns to focus on the submission applied on Douglas, when his bodyguard grabs and pulls Douglas to the ropes and props a leg onto the rope. The ref didn’t see this until Trey points outs the foot on the ropes to the ref. Calling for a rope break release of the hold, Shane ignores and the ref can’t do anything about it. Fiore slides into the ring and climbs top of Shane, pummeling him with vicious rights, forcing Sebastian to release the arm bar and try to defend himself from the fury of Fiore. He gets to his feet and stomps Shane with his boot to the face, knocking him out. Instead of going for a cover on either Douglas or Shane, he strolls over to the opposite side of the ring and lights up a cigarette and takes a long drag from it.

Sharper: What is he doing? He’s wasting a perfect opportunity to end this match!

Kayl: Remember kids, you shouldn’t smoke. It’s not good for your health.

While Fiore is flicking the dead ash from the first couple of drags from the cigarette, Maddox throws himself over the ropes and hits Fiore with a slingshot wheel kick that knocks Fiore stunned into the turnbuckle and the cigarette is set out of the ring harmless on the ground.

Kayl: See I told you, now didn’t I?

Maddox turns to see that Douglas and Shane are bringing themselves up to their feet, Irish whipping Fiore into the two staggering men, setting them all up against the turnbuckle and each other. Maddox gives a quick gesture to the fans, who explode in cheers, as he runs at the three and Fiore, the man in front with a running leg lariat. Shane and Douglas still are against the ropes, while Fiore falls flat on his face. Maddox getting a rush from the crowd delivers a dropkick to the two men still stuck in the corner, bringing them both to the mat. Maddox covers Douglas for the pin.

Williams pulls Maddox off and breaks up the count. The angrily throws his arms up. Starting to motion for Trey to leave the ring. Bridgette throws her hands up in the air as Trey heads back to the ring. Maddox climbs back in and tries to cover Douglas again.

1..

And the pin is broken up by a groggy Shane. Dragging Maddox into the middle of the ring. Shane pulls him up to his feet, Maddox tries to hit Shane with a roundhouse kick. Shane ducks under it and counters with putting him into a headlock. Maddox struggling to get out of the hold, throwing his fist into Shane’s arm. But Shane isn’t letting go. Maddox pushing Shane into the ropes, and Shane releases the headlock and rebounds off the ropes and downs Maddox with a running variation of the swinging neck breaker. Shane goes for the cover immediately.

2..

No, Maddox gets a shoulder up as the crowd erupts. The ref holds up two fingers to indicate a two count near fall. Shane gasps, in desperation, he pulls out a roll of cash from his trunks and tries to give it the ref. The ref backs up a few steps.

Sharper: What is he doing?

Dawson: He’s trying to bribe the ref!

Kayl: I don’t care what you say, that’s resourceful.

Shane continues to try and give the cash to the ref. Fiore runs on Shane from behind and grabs his head while jumping over, giving a sick throwback style snap mare. The cash rolls out of Shane’s hand. Fiore grabs it and pockets it himself, then covers Shane.

1..

Maddox breaks up the count, throwing his body into Fiore’s. Stumbling back up to their feet, Maddox and Fiore start to trade blows, catching Maddox off guard, he strikes him back to the ropes with a quick knee to the gut. Fiore back up for a running start to a stunned Maddox, his run of steam is stopped right in his tracks when Douglas hits him with a hard kick to the chin that puts him flat on his back. Douglas jumps on Fiore for the cover.

1..

2..

Maddox pulls off Douglas from Fiore. Maddox continues pulling Douglas further away. Douglas scrambling to get back up to his feet, trying to hit Maddox with a low blow but Maddox catches the arm between his legs. The crowd goes wild. Douglas isn’t able to shake himself free from Maddox.

Sharper: Weather it’s reflexes or just luck. Maddox evades a low blow.

Dawson: It’s absolutely wild in here.

Maddox rolls the capture arm into an rolling arm bar, and chain wrestling Douglas into a Irish whip into a corner of the ring. Running and hitting the Sick Kick, putting Douglas right into the right position into The Violent Death Powerbomb. Hitting the power bomb to the turnbuckle and setting up for the finishing super kick. Fiore stirred back up to his feet, with Shane on his hands and knees, Fiore pulls down his knee pad and slams a running knee to the temple of Sebastian with the forceful Knee de Magnum., putting him back onto his back. Both Maddox and Fiore cover their respective men, the ref sees Fiore’s pin cover first and starts counting.

1...

Dawson: Both men hit big moves. You could hear the connection of Fiore’s knee to Sebastian’s skull with a sickening sound.

Sharper: The ref didn’t see the cover of Douglas by Maddox.

2...


3...

The ref calls for the bell as “Scream Aim Fire” hit’s the PA system again. Joachim rolls off Shane, pulling a second cigarette and lighting it.

Sharper: Fiore, sneaks in a win. What a fantastic finish to this match.

Dawson: I’m sure Aiden Maddox is not at all happy with this result.

Kayl: That’s just bad timing. The ref had to count the pin attempt that he saw. And that was Joachim.

Dawson: I’m sure we’ll see more of these young athletes in the future.

Breakdown cuts backstage and we see Dillusion seated on a storage crate in the backstage area. We then see Ducky skipping around in a circle as Hallucigen can be seen on his knee, leaning forward on his other, almost like a knight standing before their liege, in front of Dillusion.

 

Ducky: “I get to face Syren! I get to face Syren!”

 

Dillusion: “Yes, my minion. That is important, but not as important as trying to find out why Mike Harrison is Saber.”

 

Ducky stops and turns to Dillusion and cocks her head.

 

Ducky: “He’s not too people.”

 

Dillusion: “Could be like Batman. He’s two people.”

 

Hallucigen: “He was just dressed like him to get to you. It was an elaborate plot. One that will pale in comparison to whatever you have brewing in your head. I mean, you’re Dillusion. You will make him pay for such hijinx. How dare he usurp Saber’s identity to mess with you. Plus, hit me in the back. That still hurts....ow....”

 

Hallucigen stretches out a bit.

 

Dillusion: “And you hold the Underground Championship. You need to be tougher.”

 

Hallucigen: “Yes sir! I’m working on it sir!”

 

DIllusion: “Well work on it faster. Now!”

 

Hallucigen: “Ah....yes.”

 

Dillusion: “Ducky!”

 

Hallucigen turns and Ducky suddenly nails Hallucigen between the legs with a low blow. Hallucigen just falls forward and drops to the ground. Dillusion just shakes his head.

 

Dillusion: “Pathetic. You need to be able to take at least six of those before dropping. Rachel Foxx stapled me in the balls. You can’t even take a kick from a girl!”

 

Hallucigen: “Oh....gah.....yes sir....”

 

Dillusion just turns to Ducky.

 

Ducky: “Did I do good?”

 

Dillusion: “Yes...very good. Very good. In fact, so good, you and I can worry about this Saber/Harrison combination. A man who will try to murder me one second and scare little children by telling them Santa’s not real the next.”

 

Ducky: “But isn’t he real?”

 

Dillusion: “Of course he is! You and I will worry about him.”

 

Ducky: “What about Syren though....shouldn’t I like talk to her or something. Get ready for the Women’s Championship.”

 

Dillusion: “Ducky...you are my minion. That instantly makes you so much better than her. Plus, she wears pink. Pink is a horrible colour. Horrible. Not as good as red. Like blood. Got it. You don’t need to worry about that. We must focus on Harrisaber! The fate of the world depends on it.”

 

Hallucigen continues to writhe in pain as he starts to get up and Ducky just shrugs.

 

Ducky: “Well I’m still going to talk to Syren.”

 

Dillusion: “Fine...but we need to find Harrisaber first.”

 

Ducky: “Otay!”

 

Ducky and Dillusion walk off as Hallucigen starts to get up.

 

Hallucigen: “Ah....god....I gotta get used to that. Lohan probably will now just focus on that just so it’s like being part of Infamous. All that estrogen all the time. Ah.....I need a cup or something....”

 

Hallucigen continues to get up as the scene slowly fades to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage to show the SCW interview area and Marisa Condolesa.

 

Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown. Allow me to introduce one of the new stars of SCW, Travis Green.”

 

The crowd boos a bit as Travis Green walks into cameraview and smiles as he looks up at the ceiling before back down to Marisa.

 

Condolesa: “Travis. You’re getting a huge-“

 

Green: “Just don’t even continue. Let me do all of the talking. See, I already know I’m getting a huge opportunity. Damn right I am. I’m getting the opportunity I SHOULD have had last week. The only difference is that I get jerked around by not having the title on the line. I mean, yeah, sure, Giovanni Aries, got his little shot. Got his little chances. Good for him.”

 

Green mockingly claps as he moves into the camera.

 

Green: “And what happened? You were dropped on the back of your head and lost. Valiant effort. Ha! But just not good enough to get it done. See, a wasted opportunity. Now, had I been given that shot. Had Sasha gone...what the hell is Aries thinking? The kid is too out of f’n mind to even be a challenge for Shilo. What we need is Travis Green to push Shilo to the limit, end his stupid little Tour of Crap and become the greatest United States Champion EVER....then that’s what would’ve happened. Exactly as they would have hoped...but no...they let Aries get in there and give Shilo another win. Well....”

 

Green smirks as the crowd boos.

 

Green: “Tonight...Aries...I’m going to show you what someone with potential can do when they are given an opportunity. You...you can sit back and just get your ass kicked by my boy, Kalis. And when the doctor backstage is pulling Kalis’ foot out of your ass, getting you ready so you can have MY foot driven up your ass....you can see that I was able to do something you couldn’t....beat the US Champion!”

 

The crowd boos as Travis Green just looks at Marisa before turning and walking off camera. Marisa looks a bit shocked as we head back to ringside.

 

Kayl: “Well...someone had their red bull!”

 

Sharper: “Travis Green focused. Later tonight, he’ll face Shilo Valiant. We’ll see how that goes. He’s making some big statements there.”

Rex Butler vs. Chris Lawler

"Until the Whole World Hears" by hits over the PA System and the crowd roars in cheers as Chris Lawler comes out from behind the curtain and stands at the top of the entranceway with a huge smile on his face.

Sharper: "There is a man who you can't help but admire, life has thrown so many obstacles recently but he keeps on getting up and dusting himself off."

Kayl: "That's true but if Rex Butler has anything to say about this, he may well be picking himself back up off the floor!"

Dawson: "You know, both I just want to say how great it is that you're here instead of Knots..."

Kayl: "What, and leave you two to screw up this broadcast? You're having a laugh! Ha-ha I'm just kidding there you two, I'm not Jonathan Knots."

Sharper: "Knots' impersonation aside, we still have a match to call tonight and it's great having you here Donovan."

Kayl: "Thanks guys, it's always a pleasure to be here."

Chris makes his way down the entrance ramp and stops about halfway down and drops to his knees. He looks up as though he's looking up to God above and starts talking. Lawler hops back up to his feet and continues down the ramp and slides in the ring and salutes the fans...

The arena lights go off as the opening of “Cryin’ Like a Bitch” begins to play. A single spotlight shines down on the stage as Rex Butler appears - with Alisha Hicks - and stares out into the darkness. They make their way down the ramp, ignoring the fans taunts, as Rex steps onto the ring apron and over the top rope as Alisha walks along the outside of the ring. Inside the center of the ring, Rex raises his arms into the air as the lights come back on, before turning his attention to the corner where Chris Lawler stands waiting for the bell to sound.

Kayl: "This is one of those matches where either man could make good use of. Lawler like you said has to try and throw something together here after his run of luck, and Rex is in a similair predicament if I remember rightly."

Sharper: "That's right, both men could use a morale boost thats for sure."

Dawson: "Well the official's ready, both men are ready lets get this party started!"

Kayl: "Ladies and gentleman, a Black Eyed Peas quote which was better than their performance at the Superbowl!"

The bell rings loudly which gets a roar from the crowd as both men step out of their corners and begin to circle. Lawler looking like the first to make a move lunging foward only for Butler to back away quickly not giving him the chance. The pair continue to circle before locking horns but when they do the sound of boo's begins to rain from the crowd which both men ignore along with the official.

Kayl: "Wow this crowd’s pretty damn hostile..."

Dawson: "It's not because of those two in the ring, it's because of the person walking to the ring..."

Sharper: "Why is Brittany Lohan out here!?!"

The cameras shift their attention from the ring to the aisle as Lohan is indeed walking down dressed casually but in her hand is something far from casual, it's a steel chair. Some fans chant various insults at the Pitbull of the Infamous as she stares into the ring with a scowl before feigning a back hand to one rowdy fan in the front row. Back in the ring Lawler is taken down with a shoulder block after getting whipped into the ropes. The official now noticing Lohan outside leans through pointing at the to head to the back.

Sharper: "I don't think telling her to go backstage is going to actually make her do it, since when has Lohan done anything others have wanted of her?"

Dawson: "I couldn't answer that but by the look in her eyes she doesn't like the tone from this official he should watch his ste-"

The sound of a hellacious crack is head as the referee drops to the outside matting with a dead weight about him after Lohan clubbed him with the steel chair. The crowd "oooohs" in unison as Lohan has nothing more than a smirk on her face. Butler having pulled Lawler up and head the noise turns around as Lohan has slid into the ring and she cracks him over the head with the chair as well. The big man Butler however stumbles back not going down as Alisha yells at him from the outside. Brittany back up and hits the roeps before jumping up and wrapping the chair around his head with authoruity this time Rex Butler falls back to the canvas unconcious.

Kayl: "Jesus christ, Lohan is on a rampage here! First the official and now Butler, and NOW she's teeing up Lawler who hasn't a clue what the hells going on!!!"

Lawler holding the back of his head see's Alisha yelling, and looks confused as she points to Lawler look behind him. He waves it off only to feel cold hard steel across his back which causes him to wince in pain. He goes to turn around only to get another shot to the back which drops him to one knee now as the crowd is going ape at this impromptu assault by Brittany Lohan. Lawler turns around this time just in time to have his face introduced to the chair that is now a complete and utter wreck the born again disciple now the third victim of Brittany Lohan.

Sharper: "What the hell is she doing out here!?! She's got no business interfering in this match!"

Dawson: "Don't ask me I know as much as you do!"

Kayl: "Well she's calling for a mic which Phillips just gave her, so I’m going to take a guess here and say we're about to find out..."

In the ring Brittany stands with the microphone in hand looking around at the crowd with an almost emotionless expression on her face now. The crowd is chanting all sorts of things in her direction, but she doesn't care she just speaks over them as she addresses everyone in attendance tonight.

 

Lohan: “Do you know what I just did?”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Lohan: “I took out two men who received an opportunity before I did....and-“

 

Lohan snaps her fingers.

 

Lohan: “Just like that. You understand. I have been waiting for this shot I have this Sunday since September, damn it. And I’ve had to watch people like Rex Butler...and Chris Lawler get their shot before I even get mentioned in the conversation. And what did they do...they squandered their opportunities. Lawler pulled his religious crap and said he didn’t want to hurt Jake Starr...oh boo-hoo. It’s the damn Underground division. You break and bleed. It’s what you do! And Rex....I saw it at Ammo....go back to the gym and train...You have a lot of work to do just to be in the same ring as me.”

 

Lohan pauses as the crowd boos some more.

 

Lohan: “But Hallucigen...you see what I did to two people that don’t embrace the Underground. Two people that just weren’t ready. Well, I am ready...but I wonder about you. You sit there with your lips superglued to Dillusion’s ass, but can you actually kick someone’s ass. Body, Heart and Soul was a start....but only that. I’ve been destroying people since I came into this company. That belt has had my name on it since it was installed. No one has realized it until now. Dillusion, Speed, Rachel....they all have laid claim to it, but the fact remains....only one really deserves to hold it. And Hallucigen, you’re in my way. I did this with a chair. Just imagine what I can do with no rules.”

 

The crowd boos as “Lights Out” by Breaking Benjamin plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos as Lohan just looks around, glaring at the crowd.

 

Dawson: “Brittany Lohan with a strong message to the Underground Champion.”

 

Kayl: “I wouldn’t want to be Hallucigen. He’s gotten his ass kicked for months and this Sunday, it could be destroyed permanently!”

 

Lohan just continues to look around before dropping the microphone and walking over to the ropes. Officials check on the one official levelled by Lohan as Lohan drops down to the floor. She just glares at them before continuing on her way to the back.

Breakdown cuts backstage and into the Infamous locker room to see Lucas Knight just sitting on one of the benches, just looking forward. Christy Matthews walks over to him and Lucas just glances up before Christy drops down and sits next to him.

 

Christy: “You mind?”

 

Lucas: “A bit.”

 

Christy: “You look pissed off.”

 

Lucas: “Yeah, like you care.”

 

Christy: “Well I do in this case. I know you’re frustrated.”

 

Lucas: “Just a bit. I was headlining Body, Heart and Soul and now I’m taking care of scraps with Alex’s son and Rachel Foxx.”

 

Christy: “You do have the SCW Champion tonight.”

 

Lucas: “Rather have it for the title.”

 

Christy just laughs a bit.

 

Lucas: “What?”

 

Christy: “You know that won’t be happening for a bit.”

 

Lucas just looks down and shakes his head.

 

Christy: “But Lucas....you are angry...you are frustrated and we both know that makes you VERY dangerous. And I meant it when I said I would do ANYTHING to be World Champion. While you’re sick of being jerked around now, I’ve been jerked around my entire SCW career. And at Retribution, in one moment, I can be THE name of this company and I can get what you and I deserve.”

 

Lucas: “So...”

 

Christy: “You know what that means for you...at least tonight. Prove to Sasha you deserve to be at the top....and as I said...I’ll do anything to win the title....I think it’s safe for you to think that all bets are off.”

 

Lucas just smirks a bit as Ravyn Taylor then walks over to him.

 

Ravyn: “Aww...how nice.”

 

Christy: “Yeah...yeah...”

 

Christy gets up and smirks at Ravyn. Ravyn just looks at Lucas.

 

Ravyn: “Ready to stop being all doom and gloom for a moment and join me in the ring?”

 

Lucas just looks up.

 

Lucas: “Sure....”

 

Lucas then gets up as Ravyn Taylor walks out of the room. Lucas Knight turns and walks after her.

 

Sharper: “Well, it seems like we’re going to hear from Ravyn Taylor and Lucas Knight of Infamous next. What will they have to say? We’ll find out!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown opens up in the backstage area and we see Jessica Winters running over to Dillusion, Ducky and Hallucigen as they are walking in the backstage area. The crowd roars upon seeing them before Jessica goes over to Hallucigen.

 

Jessica: “Hallucigen! Sorry to interrupt whatever you three are doing! Hallucigen, I’m wondering if I can get a comment with you.”

 

Dillusion: “Do you have an apple and an elastic band?”

 

Jessica: “Excuse me.”

 

Ducky: “I love rubber bands! They stretchy and stuff!”

 

Dillusion: “Exactly and with apples, they make the greatest treat with easy clean-up!”

 

Hallucigen: “Ah....sure, Jessica.”

 

Dillusion: “Oh fine. You’re too nice. Be quick.”

 

Dillusion and Ducky start to walk off as Hallucigen turns to Jessica.

 

Jessica: “I don’t know if you know, but Brittany Lohan just came to the ring and destroyed Chris Lawler, an official and Rex Butler.”

 

Hallucigen: “Oh...did she? Was it like Godzilla going through Japan? Do you need Mothra?”

 

Jessica: “She stated that she was going to come after you and destroy you. She destroyed the three of them just with a steel chair. It was a message to you.”

 

Hallucigen: “A message to me? To me? Really? Ah...well, yeah, I am champion. And I’ve been people like Booger Scythe. But...ah....yeah....that’s...uh...nice.”

 

Jessica: “That’s nice?”

 

Hallucigen: “Yeah...that’s all. I gotta go.”

 

Hallucigen just turns away a bit before glancing back before then quickly walking off and going towards Dillusion and Ducky. Jessica Winters just looks confused before we head back to ringside.

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

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

 

The crowd boos as spotlights start to circle around the arena and Ravyn Taylor walks out from the back. She looks around before glancing behind her as Lucas Knight walks out after her, looking less than impressed.

 

Sharper: “Been a while since Ravyn Taylor came out to the ring, but I never did think I’d willing see Lucas Knight and Ravyn Taylor come to the ring together.”

 

Dawson: “Then again, they are teaming together this Sunday against Alex Desoubrais Jr. and Rachel Foxx.”

 

Kayl: “But why are they out here? And do I have to care? Or do I have to listen?”

 

Dawson: “Obviously Ravyn has something to say. Before the break, we saw Lucas Knight not being too happy, but Christy giving him some interesting orders.”

 

Knight continues on his way to the ring, walking past Ravyn as Ravyn just smirks. She then starts to follow him as Knight walks over to the ring and pulls himself up onto the apron and then steps into the ring. He looks around as Ravyn Taylor walks over to the steel steps and walks up them before entering the ring. Knight just walks over to Jason Phillips and asks for the microphone as Ravyn Taylor turns to him and just shakes her head a bit as Lucas turns and walks over to the middle of the ring. Ravyn goes over to him, but Lucas quickly starts to speak.

 

Lucas: “So here we are. At least I get mic time this time, eh? I mean, I don’t even get to come out to my theme music. I don’t get my music blaring to all of these idiots. I’m a former World Champion and that’s how I’m treated.”

 

Lucas just shakes his head as Ravyn actually smirks.

 

Kayl: “Well then don’t disappear after winning the title!”

 

Dawson: “That would make sense.”

 

Lucas: “Did I prove anything to you last Breakdown Sasha? I nearly won but Thorn got lucky. Just a bit lucky. Not my fault that Alex Jr. decided to drop face first into the mat just to let Thorn get the win. Well, that’s not on me. I tried to win that match and so I’m ready to go. Give me whoever you want. I’ll take them on. And if you doubt it....”

 

Lucas pauses for a moment.

 

Lucas: “Tonight, you’ll see me destroy your World Champion in front of the world.”

 

The crowd boos as Lucas Knight just looks at the main camera.

 

Lucas: “So come on Sasha. You know what I want. You know I can still go. You know I’m not going anywhere. Hell...ask Alex. He’ll tell you. I’m not going anywhere until I get back to where I should be and that’s hoist the World Championship. Sure....I did something stupid, but Sasha, you know what mistakes are like. How many mistakes have you made over the years? Like the one that you made for Retribution....booking her and I together against Junior and Rachel....You think that’s cute?”

 

Lucas just smirks before rubbing his forehead a bit and looking back at the camera.

 

Lucas: “Well we’re going to destroy them. No. I’m going to destroy them. Ravyn...I don’t really care what she does. You think it’s cute putting the two of us on a team together against the two of them. Heh....Sasha....how many more mistakes are you going to make until you realize where I should be? I’m not happy being a lapdog. CHBK knows it. You know it. But if I have to prove it, then I will....and then you’ll have to deal with the Catalyst being back in the World Title rankings again.”

 

Ravyn then reaches over and grabs the microphone from Lucas, causing Lucas to turn to her. Ravyn just puts her hand up to stop him from yelling at her as the crowd boos a bit more, focusing on Ravyn. Even a small “Slut!” chant starts to echo.

 

Sharper: “That may tell you what we need to know about their dynamic.”

 

Kayl: “That’s great. Tell me when she’s done talking. Something tells me this is going to get annoying.”

 

Ravyn: “That’s great Lucas. You can focus on yourself a bit later. The fact remains is that no matter what you think, yeah, you may want that opportunity, but you already squandered one. That’s why Alex made it clear that you need to regain HIS respect....just like I’m sure Pete told you the same. You were happy to give them that respect then. Meanwhile, myself, I have no such loyalties. I meanwhile just stand here without much care in the world and why? Because of other’s fortune and the obvious issue that the ownership of this company has and that is that I helped orchestrate the biggest double-cross in this company’s history.”

 

The crowd boos. Ravyn just smiles.

 

Dawson: “She’s real happy about that.”

 

Ravyn: “But then with that said, I guess you may not care for what I’ve done to the Desoubrais family. In one fell swoop, I have caused it great disarray. Alex just wanted someone that could give him what he wants, but also someone who could communicate with him on the same wavelength. And we’re more than happy to explore that. And Junior....I suppose that is where you come in. Because while I’m taking on valets who think they can get into the wrestling business to get the job done...they act big when they’ve got their hero wrestling near them, but when they can’t, I just play them like the fiddle they are....you’re getting the opportunities of a lifetime. And all because you know who the owner was before she was there. Well, how good did those opportunities turn out? You’re now looking at facing myself and Lucas Knight. Someone who is smarter than both yourself and Rachel Foxx could ever dream of being. Certainly you lost on the genetic battle there....and someone who has had greater success than either of you despite what shortcomings he’s currently experiencing.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Ravyn: “Now Alex Jr.....I suppose that you blame little old me for the chance. But is this match going to get you closer to CHBK...your father...the one who saw who you were from the start? The man who I am closer to now than you ever were. And I’m the only woman who care really relay his thoughts on you direction to you. I mean...I’m sure you’ve seen my blog. You’ve seen our tape. I’ve gotten more from your father than you ever could. Former Tag Team Champion you are....former Adrenaline Champion....sure, I’m only a former World Tag Team Champion myself, but we all know that I should have had my opportunity to regain those titles long, long ago. Whereas you....You just never could figure out how to regain those past glories.”

 

Ravyn just smirks.

 

Ravyn: “Do you really think you have a chance against us? In a mere year, we have done more than you ever could. Hell, myself, I’ve pinned your old man. How about you?”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Kayl: “For the love of...”

 

Dawson: “Easy there.”

 

Ravyn: “See Lucas...he has nothing to be frustrated from. He burned his chances. But now I see someone like yourself....someone who has ridden another man’s coattails to get ahead....when I am being left on the sidelines. Instead of challenging for the World Tag Team Championship with Zoe, I am standing here teaming with HIM to face you and Rachel. And as a tag team....when have you ever sniffed those titles. You’re out of your league and I’m being forced to step back and deal with the whims of an owner who realizes she has lost the only confidante she had....when he never was that.....he has taken into his own hands to do what was necessary to ensure those with PASSION led this industry. You just want to get laid. Isn’t that why you’re with Rachel? I guess I can multi-task. Because I managed to do that....and I’m capable of getting what I want. I just want the opportunity. But I have to deal with you. Come on Alex. You know that this opportunity...it’s not because you’re some great wrestler....it’s because you cried. I saw it. Lucas saw it. You were so close, yet so far. And you’ll never be your father!”

 

Just then, as she says that “Who Wouldn’t Wanna Be Me” starts to play throughout the arena and we see Alex Desoubrais Jr. walk out from the back with a steel chair in his hand. The crowd actually cheers for his appearance. He just storms down to the ring as Ravyn just smirks backing up as Lucas Knight moves forward and just looks at him. Ravyn and Lucas just watch Alex Jr. as he runs to the ring before Ravyn looks around and we see Rachel Foxx slide into the ring from behind with a sledgehammer in her hand. She immediately runs over to Lucas and nails him in the back with the end of the hammer, using it as a battering ram. He drops down and Alex Desoubrais Jr. walks around the ring as Ravyn goes to grab at Rachel, but Rachel lifts the hammer up.

 

Sharper: “Oh my! Ravyn may have stepped too far with her comments! Rachel Foxx and Alex Desoubrais Jr. laid a bit of a trap!”

 

Dawson: “And this is bad if you’re Ravyn Taylor. She’s in the ring on her own. No one is around to help her.”

 

Alex Desoubrais Jr. then slides into the ring and quickly nails her in the back of the knees. Ravyn drops down before Alex Desoubrais Jr. grabs the chair and unfolds it and places it over her head. The crowd starts to roar and Alex Desoubrais Jr. starts to yell at Ravyn before we then see Syren run out from the back with the Women’s Championship. A few strides behind are Pete Ebdon and Brittany Lohan, with CHBK, all coming to the ring. Alex looks up and Rachel snaps at him to leave. She rolls out of the ring and Alex Desoubrais Jr. just looks down at Ravyn as Syren enters the ring and Alex Desoubrais Jr. then shakes himself out of it before exiting to the floor. He turns away as Syren immediately goes to check on Ravyn as CHBK just stands in the ring looking down at Alex Jr. Brittany just stands guard, almost daring Rachel or Alex to get into the ring as Ebdon check on Lucas.

 

Kayl: “Infamous of course coming out. Damn. I was hoping Ravyn would get what she deserved!”

 

Dawson: “Yeah, but this Sunday, she’s turned Alex Desoubrais Jr. into pure anger. Rachel is usually the aggressive one. Alex is usually the calmer.”

 

Sharper: “Now now. Not after all of this. Ravyn is baiting Alex Desoubrais Jr.”

 

Dawson: “And she knows Lucas just wants the win!”

 

Alex Desoubrais Jr. continues to look up as CHBK just looks at his son. Rachel walks over to Alex Jr. and starts to lead him away as Syren pulls the chair off of Ravyn and throws it away before checking on her. The crowd continues to boo as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Syren walking backstage with Ebdon and Christy with Ravyn as she holds her head. Lucas Knight is following them with Lohan before we then see Ducky standing behind a wall. She looks out and yells out.

 

Ducky: “SYREN!”

 

Syren, Lucas and Ebdon all stop and turn around. CHBK, who had yet to pass, walks past her and just looks at her. Ducky just stops and looks at him.

 

CHBK: “Yes?”

 

Ducky: “Ah....you’re not Syren!”

 

CHBK: “No...no I’m not. Probably better news for her though.”

 

Syren glances back as Lucas motions to her. Syren just turns to Ravyn.

 

Lucas: “I’ll watch her. I just won’t be as emotionally torn about it.”

 

Syren just walks past him and hits him hard in the shoulder. CHBK just looks at her.

 

Syren: “It’s okay....I’ll be with you guys in a minute.”

 

CHBK: “Alright...just remember, she is facing you this Sunday.”

 

Syren: “It’s okay.”

 

CHBK just turns and walks off as Syren glances back before looking at Ducky who turns her head.

 

Ducky: “Shhh....I snuck away from Dillusion! He doesn’t know I’m here. I just wanted to tell you I’m super excited about this Sunday.”

 

Syren: “Oh yeah. It’s going to be great. Huge challenge. Looking out for it and should be fun.”

 

Syren looks a bit confused as Ducky just jumps up and down.

 

Ducky: “Yay! We’re both excited. And for your shiny Women’s Championship! Seems unfair that you’re only bringing something. I know, I’ll bring gummy bears! We can eat gummy bears before the match! That will be awesome!”

 

Syren: “Ah...yeah...Okay. Well, sorry, but I need to go. Ravyn was attacked out there and I want to make sure she’s okay and all. But we’ll have an awesome match this Sunday.”

 

Ducky just nods before Syren smiles and turns to go away. Ducky then suddenly grabs her by the arm.

 

Syren: “Hey...I gotta go-“

 

Ducky, however, no longer is as bubbly and instead just glare at Syren before kneeing her in the ribs and turning and throwing her back hard in the wall. Syren winces and Ducky then kicks her in the ribs and throws her down to the floor. Ducky just backs away a bit as Lucas then glances back before looking back and starting to jog down the hallway.

 

Ducky: “Don’t forget to shine up my title, you bitch!”

 

Ducky then turns and walks off as the crowd gives a mixed reaction and we head back to ringside as Lucas goes over to Syren and starts to check on her.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Ducky just changed just like that. We’ve seen that change in her before, but wow...”

 

Dawson: “And Syren, being so trusting....”

Mike Harrison vs. Vampira

 

The entrance screen comes to life with Vampira hitting movies and spitting mist in opponents faces as black flames shoot up from the stage as Mushroomhead's “Sun Doesn't Rise” hits and the lights go red. Soon Vampira emerges from the back covered by a long black velvet cloak covering her head. She stops at the ramp as the flames burn on both sides of her. Her manager Thomas Anderson emerges from the back dressed in a black suit with a black shirt underneath and black sunglasses. Vampira lifts the hood from her head as Thomas stands next to her looking over the crowd. Vampira raises her head as the fans scream for her. She raises her left hand to silence them before looking around and then screaming at the top of her lungs one of the most demonic blood curdling screams you could imagine much to the fans approval as Thomas Anderson laughs with a sick grin on his face. Vampira and Thomas walk down the ramp. Vampira jumps onto the apron as Thomas Anderson walks up the steps climbing into the ring. Vampira holds the top rope and throws her head back spitting black mist into the air as black flames shoot from the ring post. She jumps over the top rope and throws her cloak to the Thomas Anderson before sitting in the corner and awaiting her opponents as Thomas is walks down to the side of the ring and starts rubbing her shoulders talking to her.

 

Sharper: “Vampira has a date with Shawn Winters this Sunday, but last Breakdown, we saw arguably one of the most odd happenings in Breakdown history. A fan tried to get at Vampira and Shawn Winters absolutely lost it.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah, we have no reason why. He was attacked by a fan a few weeks ago, but he shrugged that off. Last week, he looked like he saw a ghost, when in reality, it was the same fan that accosted Vampira at Body, Heart and Soul.”

 

Kayl: “You have to wonder if he’ll be watching and waiting at Body, Heart and Soul.”

 

“Lord Have Mercy” by Joanne Shaw Taylor is heard around the arena and the crowd immediately start to boo and jeer as Mike Harrison appears on stage. He stops at the top of the ramp and stretches his arms out wide taking it all in with a smug smile on his face. As he does this a set of gold pyros explode behind him, shocking everyone into a momentary silence. At this point Mike proceeds to make his way slowly down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He proceeds to climb to the top turnbuckle and points to the crowd who continue to boo, jeer and shout abuse his way, much to Mike's amusement. Finally he stretches his arms out wide as the guitar solo begins and closes his eyes. After a moment he drops down from the top turnbuckle and readies himself for combat.

 

Dawson: “Harrison turning his attention to Dillusion this Sunday. Trying to take out another former champion.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, but he had to dress like a screwed up clown to do it. And no, that wasn’t a shot at Karnivale! I’m better than Katie Steward!”

 

Harrison looks across the ring at Vampira and the bell sounds. Vampira then walks out of the corner, but Harrison walks out too and immediately jumps up and lifts his leg up and tries to pull her down to immediately lock in the Lights Out. Vampira, however fights it and rolls through into a pin.

Harrison kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up, as does Vampira and Vampira catches Harrison with a boot to the ribs before nailing him with a double chop to the jaw. Harrison staggers back and Vampira then whips him into the ropes. Harrison bounces off the ropes and Vampira knees him in the ribs before then nailing him in the back of the head with a swinging blow. Harrison drops down and starts to get up as the crowd cheers. Vampira grabs him and hooks him up for a back suplex, but Harrison blocks it and nails Vampira with a right hand to the head. Vampira stumbles back and Harrison walks forward. Vampira turns back to Harrison and Harrison takes her over with an arm drag and holds onto the arm.

 

Dawson: “Harrison taking control with the arm.”

 

Sharper: “Harrison very skilled at submissions. Vampira, good wrestler, but a better brawler. At least, that’s what we’ve seen of her thus far in SCW.”

 

Dawson: “Two future champions in SCW.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, well, they both can add to that claim this Sunday. Vampira against Winters. Harrison against Dillusion. They’re facing two former World Champions!”

 

Harrison holds on as Vampira starts to slowly pull herself up. Harrison however quickly knees her in the ribs before then gutwrenching her up and dropping her across his knee. Vampira rolls over and Harrison goes for the pin.

Vampira kicks out. She rolls over and starts to get up and Harrison gets up and turns and kicks her in the ribs. He then fires her into the corner. Vampira hits hard and Harrison runs after her and nails her with a clothesline. Vampira winces and Harrison then grabs her and goes to whips her across the ring, but Vampira spins through and sends Harrison in. Harrison bounces off the turnbuckle and Vampira kicks him in the ribs before double underhooking him and throwing him overhead with a butterfly suplex.

 

Sharper: “Nice suplex by Vampira. Harrison still getting up.”

 

Dawson: “Almost like a game of chess as both are so evenly matched right now.”

 

Harrison starts to get up and Vampira grabs him and nails him with a European uppercut. Harrison staggers back before Vampira whips him into the ropes. Harrison bounces off the ropes and Vampira lifts him up and drops him with a flapjack. She rolls over and rolls him over for the pin.

Harrison kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up and Vampira grabs him with a waistlock and starts to lift him up. Harrison however elbows her in the side of the head. He rears back and elbows her again. Harrison then runs into the ropes and bounces off them before hitting Vampira with a Yakuza kick. The crowd ohs and Harrison walks around before jumping up and dropping a leg to the head of Vampira. Harrison then rolls over and gets up as Vampira stirs.

 

Kayl: “Well that’s going to drop her. A boot to the mush!”

 

Dawson: “Hard kick. Down goes the Temptacious One.”

 

Sharper: “She’s getting back up though. She’s tough and she has noted her desire to go for the Underground Championship in her future.”

 

Vampira gets to her hands and knees and Harrison grabs her before immediately planting her with an STO. He hooks the leg.

 

1!

Vampira gets her shoulder up. She rolls over and Harrison grabs Vampira and drags her up before nailing her with a shot to the chest. Vampira winces and Harrison whips her into the ropes. She bounces off the ropes and Harrison lifts her up on the rebound with a backbreaker. Harrison then turns to his knees and looks out at the crowd and smirks as the crowd boos. He then gets up and exits to the apron. He looks around before climbing up to the top rope. He looks around before looking at Vampira and then diving forward with a guillotine leg drop, but Vampira rolls out of the way. The crowd roars and Harrison rolls over, holding his backside in pain. He then starts to get up and Vampira runs into the ropes and handsprings off them before jumping up and taking Harrison down with the Into the Darkness. The crowd roars as Harrison rolls through and then rolls onto his stomach.

 

Kayl: “Holy hell! That was interesting!”

 

Sharper: “Handspring hurricanrana. Great move and Harrison’s down. Vampira now going for the turnbuckle!”

 

Vampira climbs up to the middle rope before jumping up to the top rope and then diving over and springing off the middle rope and hitting the Angel Flight! The crowd roars and Harrison holds his ribs in pain as Vampira goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers and Vampira rolls off of Harrison. Vampira looks up as she has her arm raised. Harrison rolls over and out of the ring. He winces as he holds his ribs and starts to make his way to the back. Vampira just looks up and walks around the ring as her music plays. She walks around the ring as she celebrates. The crowd however starts to boo as we see Shawn Winters with Charlie Laurio walk out from the back. Mike Harrison as he walks to the back just stops and looks at Winters. Winters just smirks at him and the two share some words before Harrison shakes his head and walks to the back.

 

Dawson: “And now look who’s joining us.”

 

Kayl: “Your brother Jake?”

 

Dawson: “No....Shawn Winters.”

 

Sharper: “A bit of a confrontation there between Harrison and Winters there too.”

 

Winters looks down to the ring and Thomas Anderson points him out to Vampira.

 

Winters: “Hey! Vampira! Hello! Someone is actually caring about you! Look this way!”

 

Vampira walks over to the ropes and starts to tell him to get into the ring. Winters just smirks.

 

Winters: “No Vampira. I’ll save that for this Sunday. I mean, if I’m going to destroy your career in the front of the world, I’m going to make them pay for it. So you can sit down and just listen for a few moments as to be honest, I’ve been trying to figure out ever since the last Breakdown why you even think you’re in my league!”

 

The crowd boos as Vampira just glares at him.

 

Winters: “See, I’m a former two time World Champion. I am the reason that they all came to the show. James Exeter can kiss my ass. I’m the One Man Scandal. Jake Starr is a joke there. Well, you...what are you? The Temptacious One? What the hell is that? You had to make up a word just to give yourself some moniker. Then you’re also Vampira. Well, I’d tell you to bite me, but you’d probably enjoy it. The fact of the matter is that in one moment, on Breakdown, you immediately tried to break through that glass ceiling. The problem is...I don’t think you remembered to cover your wrists just before punching through. The problem is...glass, when it breaks, it cuts.”

 

The crowd boos and Winters pauses briefly.

 

Winters: “I mean, what have you done. You beat Mike Harrison in front of the world. Sure. He’s beaten Savior and Angel. He’s going to be something. Good for him. But I’ve beaten them too...and Savior when it mattered most with the World Title on the line. Chad kicked your ass and honestly, he’s been MY bitch for years. So Vampira, please, I’m begging you to give me a reason to care. You may be the big deal in the future, someday in the Underground, but I’m always a big deal. That World Championship that David Helms holds....or maybe Christy Matthews after this Sunday, they know that whoever holds it, they’re just holding onto it until I’m ready to take it back. That belt was made for me. I AM Greatness. You’re just a freak that thinks you can be something. I pissed you off...oh...I’m so sorry....Pretend that I care. This Sunday, I’m going to piss you off some more when you realize that I’m in a league of my own....and you just have to watch from below as I slowly keep adding on to that mansion of mine in the sky....”

 

Winters smirks as the crowd boos.

 

Winters: “And Vamp...consider that the only nice thing that I’ll do. Because now...at least...you can see it coming...because damn are you clueless!”

 

The crowd boos as “I’m So Paid” starts to play throughout the arena. Winters just flips off Vampira as Vampira glares at Winters and looks back to Anderson. Winters smirks before turning and exiting the stage and returning to the back with Charlie Laurio.

The scene then suddenly turns backstage to see Mike Harrison getting thrown into the SCW interview area backdrop and he falls to the ground. The crowd roars seeing this as Dillusion then comes in and stomps Harrison in the head before the ribs and then the head again. Hallucigen is there too and he comes in and stomps Harrison in the head too as Ducky just cheers them on in the background.

 

Dillusion: “Come on! Want to attack me again Saber! Come on!”

 

Dillusion then lifts him up and turns before throwing him back first into the wall again and then throwing him face first into the crowd. Hallucigen stomps him again before Hallucigen is nailed in the back with a steel chair. Ducky yelps and Dillusion looks up as we see Saber turn and nail Dillusion in the face with a steel chair. He then opens the chair and pushes the legs down onto the face of Dillusion. Harrison stumbles up and staggers away from the fight and gets out of dodge as Saber starts to push down the chair on Dillusion’s face. Ducky goes to go over and Saber just looks up and smacks her, causing her to stumble back. The crowd boos as Saber continues to push down, and we see the braces on the legs starting to drive into the face of Dillusion. Dillusion laughs a bit before we see officials come into the scene and start to break it up. Saber steps back and just laughs maniacally as Dillusion rolls over, holding his face. The officials check on Hallucigen and Ducky and then finally Dillusion as a couple stand between Saber and Dillusion. Saber just backs away smiling as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the scene opens up in the locker room of the Next Level to see Thorn with Kassie Khane standing in the middle of the room with Harmony Fisher in the background just glaring at Kassie as David Helms walks into the locker room.

 

Helms: “Alright...well...that’s taken care of.”

 

Thorn: “Gable and Stacy have our back.”

 

Helms: “Yeah. In case Christy or CHBK try something.”

 

Thorn: “Going to need to at least as I talked to Sasha and she realized how bad of an idea that was last month and she’s even telling CHBK’s wife to stay away.”

 

Kassie: “Smart move there. You don’t need to give him more ways to possibly win. He’ll use it against you if need be.”

 

Helms: “Yeah really.”

 

Harmony: “Yeah...yeah....but how do we know you’re not going to be a distraction? I mean...he didn’t care about you in the past. Why now?”

 

Kassie just looks down before turning to Harmony.

 

Thorn: “Harmony, relax....”

 

Harmony: “No. You’re telling me to stay back here so she can come to ringside with you. I can at least defend myself. I can deal with Infamous if they come out.”

 

Thorn: “Then, you can be the first line of defense waiting if they do try something.”

 

Helms: “Harmony. Just relax. Tommy knows what he’s doing.”

 

Harmony just shakes her head.

 

Kassie: “Look. I’m not trying to replace you. I’m just trying to help here. CHBK has been doing this for years and getting away with it. I was with him every day for two months of that period in 2005. I know how he thinks there and I want to see him get what he deserves. I’m going to help Thorn do whatever he needs to to do that.”

 

Harmony: “And if he just decides to take your head off?”

 

Helms: “Harm....”

 

Thorn: “Harmony. Just relax. After this all, you’re still going to be the one coming to the ring with me. You’re getting matches. That’s going to continue. You’re going to need to worry about your own stuff.”

 

Harmony: “Well I don’t have one at Retribution. Just Kassie...you better not do anything to piss me off. Sorry...I just don’t like this.”

 

Kassie just sighs as Harmony leaves the locker room.

 

Helms: “Sorry about that.”

 

Thorn: “Yeah...she’s a bit....wild like that. Tough kid though.”

 

Kassie: “It’s fine. I’m used to it. Been around the block a few times. Been chewed out worse.”

 

Thorn: “Anyway, we should get to planning. Dave...you fine on your own?”

 

Helms: “Don’t worry about me. Kath is coming with some coffee. We’re going to be ready to kick the Brit’s ass one more time and give a bit of a message to Christy too.”

 

Thorn: “Damn right...Good luck, eh.”

 

Thorn turns and goes to leave the room as the camera focuses on Helms as he starts to get ready and we head to ringside.

Chad Evans, Katelyn Buehler, James Evans & Ace Marshall vs. Gable Winchester, Stacy Kissinger, Damian Angel & Warren James

 

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song...

Behind those eyes lies the truth and grief
Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins

...During that verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp with Autumn Daniels following behind him, inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd, ...

...In the slight pause between the verse and the chorus, the lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel and Daniels to the ring...

...During the chorus, they begin their approach to the ring...

Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel

...By the end of the chorus, Angel has rolled toward the centre of the ring, pulling himself to one knee. Autumn waits on the ring apron while Damian runs his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo, immediately springing to his feet thereafter ...

Beyond these clouds you can hide all your tears
Beyond this world you'll be safe from their wicked fears
And in their hearts they fear your demands
You know their minds won't accept you, they'll never understand

...As this verse goes on, Damian unfastens the clasps of his rope, letting it hang open. Autumn steps through the ropes and runs her hands over Damian's shoulders, pulling back on the robe until it is no longer on him. She steps away, bringing the robe to the corner...

Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel

...Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell. He repeats this process on the other three sides of the ring, and after the last one he hops off the turnbuckle. Autumn, from the ring apron, rubs Damian's shoulders as he awaits the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “Well this certainly is going to be a huge match, literally and figuratively. This is how much of a thorn four men have been. So much so that Warren James, Damian Angel, Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger are teaming together for the first time ever.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Damian Angel faces against Chad Evans for the first time in a while. I mean, this could be huge. Holy Wars all over again.”

 

Dawson: “Don’t mention that to Ace Marshall. He almost seems to be wanting to surpass Chad there to make him the focus of the group.”|

 

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

 

Sharper: “Warren James has a huge opportunity awaiting him. He challenges James Evans for the Adrenaline Championship this Sunday.”

 

Kayl: “Get out the red bull for that one. You’ll need it just to keep up.”

 

A deep voice booms around the arena as the crowds are hushed, waiting for what would happen next.

“The Book Of Winchester, Page Three, Chapter Seven, Verse Nine…There was a dark and foreboding federation…nothing but criminals and geriatrics running riot…the place called out for a hero…a saviour that wasn’t of the Christian variety…that could bring a new sense of awesomeness to it’s very core…and rock the place to it’s foundations like never before…they found that man”

The video screen shows the words “Who is that man?”…a wall of blue comes up next after the words dissolve and comes up with four options one below the other, reading 1) Santa, 2) Darth Vader, 3) Bulbasaur, 4) Gable Winchester. A spotlight shines throughout the arena as a ticking clock shows on the screen next to the options before a flashing light starts glowing on the clear answer, and the crowds start to chant as the clock reaches zero and then explodes, followed by a barrage of pyros as Gable Winchester appears on the top of the ramp, stepping from foot to foot rapidly, with a microphone in hand, he lifts his arms up and down, smiling as he yells into the microphone.

“I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”

The words “Gable Time” appear on the screen now and flashes of his various matches in SCW scroll by as the sound of a violin playing a random tune can be heard before it phases out and “Fever” By Bullet For My Valentine hits finally on the airwaves, Gable drops the microphone on the floor at the top of the ramp. He turns back as Stacy Kissinger walks out and straightens out her elbow pad before looking to Gable. Gable smiles as the two start to walk down the rampway. The SCW World Tag Team Championship belts sit over their shoulders. The many fans of Gable shout his name as he makes his way to the ring, high fiving as many people as he can, as Stacy does the same before both slide into the ring and take to the top rope. Gable runs a hand through his wild dreadlocks, beaming out with joy at the fans showing their support as Stacy just looks around. She drops down as does Gable and the two look to each other as they meet up in their corner.

 

Dawson: “The World Tag Team Champions have been targeted by Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler for weeks now. They are guaranteeing new champions.”

 

Sharper: “Chad Evans wants to win those titles to shove them in the face of our owner for taking someone many believe is in over her head in SCW to championship gold.”

 

Dawson: “We’d never hear the end of it from Chad Evans and especially Katelyn Buehler. Since winning that tag contendership match, she’s never shut up.”

 

“For Whom the Bell Tolls” plays throughout the arenas as the lights go out. The crowd starts to boo before a spotlight shines down on the entrance way as pyro shoots out from both sides. Chad Evans walks out from the back with Katelyn Buehler right with him. She walks forward, arms outstretched as the boos continue. James Evans walks out afterwards with the Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder. Ace Marshall takes up the rear just smirking as he walks out from the back with a huge crucifix on his chest, just swinging it back and forth. He starts to walk down to the ring as Chad walks over to the ring and hops onto the apron. Katelyn rolls into the ring as James Evans hops onto the apron and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and looks at Warren James. Warren looks back at the Adrenaline Champion before he drops down and enters the ring. Chad’s group all stands on one side of the ring as their opponents stand on the opposite side. They look over before Chad Evans backs up and exits the ring. Ace Marshall stays in the ring as James Evans and Katelyn Buehler stay out. Kissinger and James exits. Damian just looks at Ace as Gable walks over to Damian Angel and suggests to him to leave the ring. Damian just looks at Gable.

 

Kayl: “Don’t touch him. He bites.”

 

Dawson: “Damian Angel wants to start this with Ace Marshall.”

 

Sharper: “Ace is almost mocking Damian Angel’s moniker of Satan himself, wearing a giant cross and just playing with it. He mentioned a couple of weeks ago on Ammo, he was going to be more Satan than Satan himself.”

 

Ace then turns and nails Gable with a hard right. Damian lunges and grabs the necklace and rips it off before throwing it away. Ace then turns and goes for a hard right, but Damian blocks it and kicks Ace in the ribs. He then grabs him and turns and throws him into the corner. Damian then backs up and motions to Gable that he can have him. Gable just glares at Damian as Damian then steps through the ropes. Gable jumps up and runs over and kicks Ace in the ribs. He then nails him with a back elbow. He grabs Ace and whips him across the ring. Ace stops at the corner and then pushes off and runs at Gable and Gable lifts him up for a back drop, but Ace spins through and lands on his feet before clubbing him in the back. He then pulls him back with a backbreaker and goes for the early pin attempt.

James Evans enters the ring and kicks Gable in the ribs before just throwing him back with a mat slam. Gable rolls over as the crowd boos and Ace exits the ring.

 

Dawson: “First tag of the match and in comes the Adrenaline Champion, James Evans.”

 

Sharper: “Quickly he makes a point of taking Gable Winchester down. He may be known for going high-risk, but James Evans has a good ground game if he wants to use it.”

 

Gable gets up and James Evans kicks him in the ribs and grabs his arm before wrenching it. He jerks on it as Gable winces. James then turns and takes him over with a Russian leg sweep. He then rolls back and goes for the pin.

He then jumps up, but Gable catches him and throws him back with a Samoan drop. He then rolls over and reaches over for Warren James. Warren tags himself in and James Evans glances up before seeing it and rolling over, holding his ribs and diving for the corner and tagging in Katelyn Buehler. He then rolls out of the ring. Warren James just glares at him as Katelyn enters the ring and walks over to James Evans, yelling at his face.

 

Kayl: “Ah. Katelyn. You need to do more offense than just being offensive.”

 

Sharper: “Well who knows with her? Her grating voice could be considered offense.”

 

Kayl: “Years to go until she’s at Katie Steward levels.”

 

Dawson: “How about James Evans getting the hell out of there the moment he had to deal with Warren James?”

 

Sharper: “Talk big. Doesn’t want any part of his challenger for this Sunday...at least yet.”

 

Katelyn continues to just jawjack at Warren James and the crowd starts to grow restless, slowly roaring. Warren James just shakes his head before kicking her in the ribs and hooking her arm before throwing her over with a vertical suplex. Katelyn rolls over and starts to get up and Warren James grabs her before dragging her over into his team’s corner and throwing her face first into the top turnbuckle. He then reaches up and tags in Gable Winchester. Winchester re-enters the ring and immediately buries his shoulder into the ribs of Katelyn. Warren exits and Gable Winchester then nails her with another shoulder thrust. He then steps back before grabbing Katelyn reaching out, tagging in Stacy Kissinger. Kissinger starts to climb up to the top rope and Gable Winchester lifts Katelyn Buehler up with a hanging vertical suplex and holds her up before Kissinger dives off the top rope and takes her down by grabbing her by the waist and forcing her down with a sidewalk slam. The crowd ohs and Katelyn yelps in pain as Gable exits the ring. Kissinger then looks over at Chad Evans, James Evans and Ace Marshall while going for the pin.

Katelyn kicks out. Stacy looks down before grabbing Katelyn by the head and slowly lifting her up.

 

Sharper: “Nearfall, but that double-team move not enough to put Katelyn Buehler away.”

 

Dawson: “Single fall to a finish. Kissinger intelligently keeping Buehler in dangerous territory and almost setting up a defense if someone tried to break the pin.”

 

Stacy nails Katelyn with a hard forearm and she stumbles over to the ropes. Kissinger walks over and grabs her and lifts her up. She then hooks her by the head and goes to go for the back suplex, but Katelyn holds onto the ropes. Stacy clubs her in the back and then goes to whip her across the ring, but Katelyn spins through and knees Stacy in the ribs. Stacy winces and Katelyn nails her in the back with a double axe handle smash, dropping her to her knees. Katelyn then backs up and stomps her in the head before backing up and hitting a sloppy looking spin kick to her head. She turns and goes to tag, but Kissinger grabs her by the leg and pulls her back. Kissinger starts to get up and Katelyn then hops on her one leg before jumping up for an enziguri, but Kissinger ducks and then hooks the leg before locking in an STF. Immediately, James Evans enters the ring and stomps Kissinger in the face. Kissinger rolls over as the crowd sighs. James Evans exits the ring and Kissinger stirs. Katelyn starts to get up as well. Kissinger pulls herself up and Katelyn turns and nails her with a wild forearm smash. Kissinger stumbles back. Katelyn then grabs her and whips her across the ring and towards her groups corner and Katelyn runs after her and catches her with a knee. Chad Evans then tags himself in before grabbing Kissinger and twisting her around before just pulling her up and over the top rope and dumping her to the floor. Ace Marshall and James Evans drop down and start to stomp away at her as the crowd boos loudly. Gable Winchester, and Warren James drop down to run around, but the referee stops them as Kissinger struggles to cover up. Chad just smirks.

 

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger is in a bad way. Chad Evans dumping her to the floor and they are just putting the boots to her.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Warren James and Gable Winchester running over there is only going to make matters worse!”

 

Sharper: “Can she recover? Can they recover and defeat Chad Evans and his followers? We’ll find out when this match continues!”

 

The scene then slowly fades out to commercials as we see Ace Marshall slowly hoisting Kissinger up.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Chad Evans clotheslining Stacy Kissinger down in the middle of the ring. The crowd boos and Chad drops down and hooks the leg for the pin.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown! Chad Evans hooks the leg...but Stacy kicks out!”

 

Dawson: “And Stacy Kissinger continues to get hammered. She was hammered on all throughout the break.”

 

Sharper: “A couple of attempts for a tag, but Chad Evans is almost toying with her. They use this strategy this Sunday, we may have new tag team champions!”

 

Stacy starts to stir and Chad Evans turns and grabs her by the hair. She winces and Chad Evans nails her with a headbutt. He then hoists her up and drops her with a backbreaker. Kissinger winces and Chad Evans exits to the apron. He then walks over to a neutral corner and climbs up to the top rope. He then dives forward and just nails Stacy with a top rope stomp.

Kissinger gets her shoulder up. She starts to stir and Chad Evans grabs her and starts to lift her up and clubs her in the back. He then places her head between his legs and hoists her up for a powerbomb, but Kissinger manages to nail Chad a few times in the head and knocks him back. She then dives forward and tags in Damian Angel, bringing the crowd to their feet. He slingshots into the ring.

 

Sharper: “And here we go!”

 

Kayl: “Oh boy! The holy wars are back! Chad Evans doesn’t know what’s about to hit him!”

He then falls back and tags in Ace who promptly springboards to the top rope and jumps forward and nails Damian in the side of the head with a jump kick. Damian falls over and into the ropes. He starts to get up at the middle rope and James Evans walks over and places his knee in the back of Damian’s head and pushes down, choking him on the middle rope. The crowd boos and Ace distracts the referee.

 

Sharper: “Just choking Damian Angel there.”

 

Kayl: “And Ace of course comes in when Damian can’t defend himself from him. These guys are just playing that game of musical chairs. You want to get your hands on someone in particular. Tough. You only do it when they let you!”

 

Dawson: “Think about the frustration that may cause. Warren James wants to get his hands on James Evans. Damian obviously wants to get his hands on Ace. They haven’t been too successful in those regards yet.”

 

Ace turns away from the official and then grabs Damian Angel and lifts him up before throwing him back with a high angle back suplex. Damian rolls over and Ace quickly rolls over himself and goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and Ace Marshall rolls and pops up as Damian starts to crawl over to his corner. Ace tags in James Evans and James Evans enters the ring and runs over and grabs the leg of Damian. Damian however rolls over and James Evans tries to turn him over with a Boston Crab. Damian, however, fights it before rolling back to his stomach and then flipping forward. James Evans goes face first into the middle turnbuckle in the corner of Angel and his teammates. The crowd roars as Damian gets up and Warren James tags himself in before jumping off the middle rope, slingshotting around and grabbing James Evans by the head and spiking him with a DDT. The crowd ohs as Warren James then gets up and dives on top of James Evans, mounting him, and hammering away at him with a hard right hands.

 

Sharper: “Warren James is hammering away at James Evans! Shot after shot!”

 

Dawson: “There goes that plan for James Evans and his allies. Your challenger for this Sunday is teeing off on your face!”

 

The crowd roars as Warren nails him with a couple more shots. James Evans tries to cover up and Warren grabs him and drags him up before turning and whipping him into the ropes. James Evans bounces off the ropes and Warren lifts him up onto his shoulders before turning and throwing him up and down onto the top rope. James Evans stumbles around and looks at Warren before Warren runs into the ropes and drills him with a running Yakuza kick to the head.

Katelyn Buehler makes the save. She just smirks as Warren James goes to grab at her, but she falls back, narrowly avoiding getting caught. He then turns back to James Evans only for the Adrenaline Champion to poke him in the eye. Warren winces and James Evans gets up before just kicking him in the side of the head. Warren James falls back and James Evans grabs him only to then lift him up and drop him down with a spinning sitout front suplex. James Evans then gets up and smirks as he taunts the crowd.

 

Sharper: “And just dropping Warren James face first with that front suplex.”

 

Kayl: “That sucked all of the momentum out of this place.”

 

James Evans then gets up and walks over before tagging in Katelyn. Katelyn however starts to climb up to the top rope as Warren James rolls over and starts to stir. The crowd starts to boo and Katelyn gets to the top and lifts her arms in the air before diving forward for a crossbody, but Warren glances up and dives out of the way. The crowd cheers and Katelyn starts to get up. Warren James looks around before then crawling over and tagging in Gable Winchester. The crowd cheers and Winchester enters the ring and Katelyn gets up only for Winchester to kick her in the ribs. He then gutwrenches her up and down with a powerbomb. Ace Marshall enters the ring and runs at Winchester, but Winchester jumps up and nails him with a dropkick, causing him to hit the mat and roll out of the ring. Katelyn starts to get back up and Winchester grabs her and hooks her up before throwing her over with a t-bone suplex. The crowd cheers and Winchester looks around.

 

Sharper: “Winchester takes down Katelyn with a huge suplex!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, but look over there. James Evans is on his way in!”

 

Winchester grabs Katelyn starts to lift her up before James just comes up from behind and kicks him between the legs. Winchester bends over and turns around and Warren James enters the rin and runs over and as James goes to grab Winchester, Warren tackles him up and over the top rope. Winchester falls forward and holds himself in pain. Katelyn meanwhile starts to go for the tag and Winchester rolls over and manages to tag in Kissinger. Katelyn tags in Ace Marshall. Marshall enters the ring as Warren and James Evans on the floor only for Warren to grab James Evans and throw him into the barricade. James Evans starts to stumble up the rampway as the rest of his group just don’t bother getting involved. Ace runs across the ring and Kissinger ducks a clothesline attempt and stops. Ace turns around and Kissinger hits a jawbreaker. Warren meanwhile nails James Evans with another shot, causing him to stumble up the rampway to the stage. Warren then goes to grab him, but James grabs him and spins him around and into the screen below the big screen causing Warren James to fall onto the stage.

 

Dawson: “Warren James and James Evans battling up to the stage. Meanwhile, Kissinger has Ace Marshall jarred!”

 

Kayl: “Practically three on four. Not that I care. Just figured I’d point that out!”

 

Kissinger then kicks Ace in the ribs and places him between her legs. Ace however counters with a back drop. He then walks forward as Kissinger gets back up. He then lunges and attempts a clothesline, but Kissinger ducks. Ace plants his feet and turns around and Kissinger jumps up and spikes him into the mat face first with the American Kiss.

Sharper: “The World Tag Champs win it for them!”

 

Dawson: “And that could happen this Sunday, they thwart the plans of Chad Evans!”

 

Kayl: “Guys! This isn’t over at the stage!”

 

Sharper: “Oh god. James Evans is stomping Warren James in the head. Stacy, Gable and Damian haven’t noticed this.”

 

Kayl: “Chad Evans and Katelyn Buehler don’t seem to give a damn!”

 

James Evans then grabs Warren James as Jayde Blanchard looks on and starts to jog up to the top. James Evans sets up Warren for a powerbomb, but Warren flips through before then grabbing James and turning and hitting the Bionic Showdown off the stage and through a table covered in wires next to it. The crowd erupts in cheers as James rolls over, holding his ribs in pain as James Evans is just out of it in the wires.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Off the stage!”

 

Dawson: “Warren James just took himself and the Adrenaline Champion off the stage!”

 

Sharper: “Talk about sending a message about coming for the title and sacrificing oneself to do so!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as Katelyn just yells at Stacy Kissinger in the ring and drops down as Chad turns and starts to drag her off. Ace remains in the ring out of it and Damian Angel just walks over to him and stands over him before slowly shaking his head as Gable and Stacy wait a moment as Jayde Blanchard hops to the concrete and runs over to Warren. Several officials join the scene as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we are in the Infamous locker room as we see Syren holding her head with a bag of ice as Ravyn Taylor walks over, looking better than she did earlier as Lohan just shakes her head.

 

Syren: “I can’t believe that she would just attack me like that.”

 

Lohan: “Well she is nuts.”

 

Ravyn: “I believe the correct terms is multiple personality disorder.”

 

Lohan: “Yeah....nuts....”

 

Lohan just walks around as we also see Christy Matthews and Pete Ebdon talking and Lucas getting ready for his match later on.

 

Syren: “But still...she was so excited.”

 

Ravyn: “That’s what happens though. It just goes to show you that no matter how nice someone may be....who knows what they really could do.”

 

Syren: “You’re not saying that about David or anyone else.”

 

Ravyn just pauses as Lohan can be heard muttering under her breath.

 

Lohan: “I am...”

 

Ravyn: “That’s up to you whether you want to take it that way. Ultimately, people will do anything to get an advantage. Even Alex’s son....he tried to take a cheap shot.”

 

Lucas: “Yeah...and that bitch hit me in the back!”

 

Lucas winces a bit as he yells out from the back of the room.

 

CHBK: “You can walk it off.”

 

CHBK then walks behind the couch and over to a bench on the one side with a direct sight of the television.

 

CHBK: “Just need to be more careful. And you, Ravyn, I know you intended that. But you should know that you and Lucas running out there talking about opportunities you don’t have isn’t going to endear you to people.”

 

Lucas then gets up as Christy motions to Ebdon. Lohan just smirks.

 

Lohan: “Oh this is going to be fun.”

 

Lucas: “Yeah. But just following you when we’re floating in limbo is better.”

 

CHBK: “Did I cause you to leave when you were Champion? No....but I brought you back. Did I lose the Tag Team Contendership match? You know I didn’t there either. The fact remains is that patience does have some benefits. I don’t need to attack you like say Damian Angel would. I’m far less barbaric. But, you’ve had opportunities. I don’t blame Sasha for being gunshy on giving another. That’s not to say they won’t come. How long did you wait for your Tag Team Championship shot? Or how about the World Championship shot for you Lucas?”

 

Syren just watches.

 

CHBK: “Or you, Brittany with the Underground Championship.”

 

Lohan: “Better believe that belt is coming back with me.”

 

CHBK: “Exactly. And didn’t it taste so sweet when you got it. And Christy....how about this Sunday when you get the moment YOU’ve been waiting for.”

 

Christy: “Yeah....yeah....”

 

CHBK: “You can get in my face Lucas. But you know as well as I do that Sasha, even if she hates my guts, if she takes anything out on any of you, I’ll make sure she is revealed as the hypocrite that she is. And with so many people who may be looking to gain some extra influence, that’s a bad choice for her. Make your case in the ring....kick Helms ass. Destroy my son and Rachel. I’ll handle Thorn...and Brittany...you know what to do. And soon enough, Infamous will be back with all of the gold. The difference...we’ll have known we deserved it...and we won’t be afraid to flaunt THAT!”

 

Ebdon just applauds slowly. CHBK turns to him.

 

Ebdon: “Nice speech. But there never was any harm in reminding people what we deserve either.”

 

CHBK just smirks.

 

CHBK: “We can discuss that later then....because I think I have something I need to watch.”

 

Ravyn just smirks as Syren just winces a bit, letting out a small ow before we return to ringside.

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

WHEN THE SUPERMEN FALL

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

AND THE MASSES CALL FOR A SAVIOUR

The background sounds continue, then more words.

I ANSWER THE CALL…

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

THORN BY NAME, ANARCHISTIC BY NATURE

and then after a brief pause finally.

HERO NO MORE?

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

 

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


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

“I AM FUELLED BY ALL THOUGHTS OF FAILURE”

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

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

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

The lights flicker back on and Thorn can be seen on top of the arena's ramp. He looks out at the crowd and smiles as the cheers come from all over the arena. He then glances back and extends his hand as Kassie Khane walks out from the back. She looks up at Thorn and nods before the two start to make their way to the ring.

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

 

They continue on their way to the ring as the cheers continue to come from the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Talk about an ace up the sleeve. That would be it right there with that young lady. Kassie Khane is someone who knows all too well about what CHBK is capable of, especially when it comes to betrayal.”

 

Dawson: “Well Donovan...I know you’re feeling how personal this all is. You have been trying to work with our owner. You were holding back your mother-in-law at Body, Heart and Soul. This has been personal and Thorn has been throwing that back to CHBK, trying to make him feel remorse.”

 

Kayl: “We all know he’ll never show that.”

 

Sharper: “Fair enough. But Thorn has been trying to play some mind games with CHBK. On Ammo, CHBK fired back, mocking Thorn about his change in demeanour since losing the World Championship. But Kassie Khane and Thorn may have gotten a hell of a coup.”

 

Thorn reaches the ring and Kassie Khane walks up the steel steps. Thorn hops onto the apron before pushing down on the bottom rope and pulling up on the middle rope, holding them open for Kassie to walk through. Thorn then enters and walks over towards Jason Phillips. Phillips hands him the microphone as Kassie Khane walks around and Thorn just smiles a bit before walking to the middle of the ring and looking out at the crowd. A “Thorn!” chant begins as his music fades out. He just smiles as he takes in the crowd response.

 

Sharper: “This crowd loves him.”

 

The crowd continues to chant as Thorn then starts to bring the microphone to my mouth.

 

Thorn: “Do you feel that Heartbreaker? See, I can play the games too. I played them last month at Body, Heart and Soul. And now, I’m willing to throw whatever I can at you just to make sure you take whatever you deserve!”

 

The crowd roars. Thorn just smiles.

 

Thorn: “And a new opportunity opened itself up. Do you see the people coming at you to make you pay for you pulling the wool over your eyes. It’s not just David, or myself, or Gable or Stacy....but people like....people like Donovan Kayl...”

 

The crowd cheers a bit as the camera focuses on the Breakdown announcer. Kayl just nods faintly.

 

Thorn: “...people like your own son....people like your family....your friends.....and now your past. See, after the last edition of Breakdown, I found a note slipped under my locker room door and it was from this lady right here. You know damn well who she is. Most of the fans here know who she is. And she’s led some of the greatest to the top, but she’s not out here because she’s going to lead me to the World Championship. Charlotte.....or even Harmony have been there since the beginning and they aren’t ever going to have to worry about losing that spot. But we’ve been talking and see, I distinctly remember last summer, someone who you’re currently bumping uglies with, she released a little tape about some time in 2005 when you really made sure we all called you the Master of Mind Games. And she was in the middle of it all. And in that note, she mentioned how she’s been waiting five years to make sure you pay for playing all of these games. How much longer can you go Heartbreaker....you’re nearly fifty. Sure...you’re still one of the greatest wrestlers in SCW history. But at some point you need to pay for it all.”

 

The crowd roars as Kassie Khane just smiles.

 

Thorn: “Because you love just doing anything you can to hurt. Just like on December 19th. Some more names to the list of people you hurt. And well, after so long, I have that chance to make sure you pay...to make sure that you really get to feel the consequences of your actions. For nearly thirty years you’ve managed to avoid dealing with that. At Retribution.....people have said I’ve changed....well at Retribution....I’m going to show you just how much I have. And I have you to thank for it!”

 

The lights in the arena suddenly go out before the big screen goes white before slowly fading into a muted shot of CHBK walking to the ring with Kassie Khane with him from the Spring and Summer of 2005. We then see a shot of CHBK locking Adam Riddick in the sharpshooter before nailing him with a superkick. This is followed up with a shot of CHBK talking to her backstage.

 

Dawson: “And there you see the evil and backstabbing CHBK and his poor and clueless manager, Kassie Khane.”

 

Johnson: “Why is everyone so sorry for her? CHBK did her a favour and she’s more independent as a result of it. She’s dating. She’s looking out for herself. What’s the problem?”

 

We then see a shot of Kassie Khane waiting a restaurant in Southern Ontario. We also see CHBK talking to Chris Lawler.

 

The scene briefly cuts to the ring to show Kassie Khane looking less than impressed.

 

We see a shot of Chris Lawler talking to Kassie Khane backstage and Kassie smiling a bit. We then see a shot of Chris Lawler getting attacked by The Torch, but showing CHBK nailing Lawler with a superkick.

 

CHBK: “Lawler….you stupid, stupid, son of a bitch. You want to know who contracted the Torch? It was me! CHBK!”

 

This is followed up with a shot of Kassie Khane talking to CHBK before showing Lawler trying to talk to Kassie Khane only for CHBK to cut him off and nail him with another superkick.

 

Dawson: “That poor lady there has no clue what she is going through. CHBK was the one that hired the Torch. CHBK is also selling Kassie Khane to men without her knowing.”

 

Johnson: “He’s just motivating the poor girl. That’s all.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah. My ass that’s all.”

 

The scene then fades out with CHBK standing next to Kassie Khane in the ring celebrating as the crowd can be heard booing over the video.

 

We then turn to the ring to see Kassie Khane just glaring at the screen as Thorn turns to her, making sure she’s alright. The crowd continues to boo.

 

Sharper: “Replaying the history Kassie Khane had with CHBK in the summer of 2005 when after CHBK, after defeating Adam Riddick, took Kassie Khane under his wing, only to then essentially sell her off for dates just for his own enjoyment. The man has no conscience when it comes to getting one over people he despises. Adam Riddick knows that.”

 

Dawson: “And I remember that time well. Chris Lawler also was played by CHBK as CHBK paid someone to take him out when he got too close to Kassie!”

 

The boos continue before we then hear CHBK as he walks out, the arena still darkened and only a spotlight focusing on the stage. He looks down at the ring and smirks.

 

CHBK: “Is that why this is so personal? You’re still keeping a grudge for five years?”

 

The crowd boos as Thorn and Kassie Khane just both look down the rampway to CHBK.

 

CHBK: “Or was it because CBA and I decided to do what we always had and just didn’t let you in on it?”

 

The crowd buzzes a bit, a bit confused.

 

CHBK: “You know….when I was looking to keep my World Championship heading into 2006…CBA didn’t show up. We made the world think he wasn’t going to show up ever again. You loved him didn’t you?”

 

CHBK just smirks as the crowd boos. Kassie just glares at CHBK.

 

CHBK: “See Thorn….Kassie actually has something to be angry at me for. Hell, even if he wanted to, Chris Lawler could come out here and I can see him having this great bid for revenge. But you Thorn, I wonder about you. I mean….here you are, you turn my son away…I ruined his family. You have you use my family to try and get into my head. And now, you’ve got Kassie Khane here and you’re fighting with her. But what have you said over and over again….I kicked you in the jaw and that’s why you want revenge.”

 

CHBK smirks as the crowd boos.

 

CHBK: “Well what’s going to happen when I do that again? I’ve ruined careers. I’ve stepped on people to get away. And even you, I flat out said to the world that you weren’t honest…I questioned your integrity….sure I turned on you, but no, you want to prove that you can put me in my place?”

 

CHBK scoffs a bit.

 

CHBK: “Really Thorn? Are you coming after me for revenge or because you need to champion yourself as a hero so these fans can return to seeing you as they did. Because with Kassie…ask her why Riddick isn’t standing in that ring with her to face me…or Zero….or Shawn Cage….You’re her latest attempt to get one over on me…she’s yet to succeed there. And for you, your motivation is that I kicked you in face?”

 

Thorn: “No Alex…it’s because I saw you as someone to respect. You’re a legend in this business and you flushed that down the toilet so you could get laid by someone half your age. You turned your back on people who believed in you….And I don’t take kindly to be given the run-around. Add that you kicked me in the face. Add that you then slapped me in the face by flat out saying I didn’t deserve your guidance. You keep talking about how you want people to deserve the right to face you. Well, then stop hiding. I got it. Whether you like it or not. And I’m going to make sure you pay for everything you’ve done over all of the years.”

 

CHBK: “Champion the cause Thorn. Put the weight of the world on you. Last time that happened, didn’t you lose the World Championship? And then what? You had to play the same games I’ve been known for in the past. I’d do anything to get what I want. And now you had to sell your soul some more…you needed a second chance….and one handed to you by someone who felt sorry for you. The old Thorn deserved to face me. The one in front of me….what are you going to do when you have no more walls to throw pasta on to see if it sticks? What are you going to do when I drop you again with another superkick and this time, it’s not to make a simple point….”

 

Thorn: “Alex….You better be ready for a war. I know you like to play games. But I can play a few of my own…and I’ve got a lot of people that want to see me kick your ass and I’m happy to listen. All you need to remember is that Heartbreaks DO last forever….and I won’t forget December 19th. But you won’t forget March 6th!”

 

CHBK: “We’ll see Thorn…we’ll see.”

 

“This is How a Heart Breaks” plays throughout the arena and CHBK just looks down at the ring at Thorn and Kassie Khane as Kassie just looks down before Thorn continues to look at CHBK.

 

Dawson: “And CHBK out here and playing more mind games, questioning the motives of Thorn.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. And just days before the match. He knows what he’s doing. He’s done it for so long. And I hate it. Because that messes with you, no matter who you are. Whether you’re Thorn or anyone!”

 

Sharper: “In any case, Thorn is going to have to dig deep. CHBK is going to come at him, but at the same time, Thorn is one of the top guys on the roster and for good reason. CHBK is going to have to be ready too!”

 

CHBK turns around and backs through the curtain as Thorn turns back and sees Kassie Khane suddenly looking less than confident as Thorn just turns to her and glances back before the scene slowly fades out.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Mike Harrison, his hair a mess, but otherwise fine, walking through the backstage area as Jessica Winters tries to follow him.

 

Jessica: “Mike Harrison! Harrison! Any thoughts on you being attacked by Dillusion earlier in the night?”

 

Harrison just stops and turns to Jessica.

 

Harrison: “That crazy bastard? Heh....oh, you just fired me up some more.”

 

Jessica: “What about Saber? Are you in any way in cahoots with him?”

 

Harrison just shakes his head, looking like Jessica Winters is absolutely insane.

 

Harrison: “That crazier bastard. Screw him. I knew how I could get into Dillusion’s head. That’s it. I used it. Either way, for Dillusion, he better get ready. It’s just like Savior and Angel. When I’m done, another former World Champion will fall at the hands of Mike Harrison!”

 

Harrison smirks before turning and walking off and down the hallway. Jessica Winters turns to the camera.

 

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

Simon Kalis vs. Giovanni Aries

 

The lights dim in the arena, and a single spotlight pans the audience as the opening sounds to "Heart of a Lion" by Kid Cudi fill the arena through the speakers.

"It's been a long time, a long time coming."
"It looks like the death of me now..."

Some of the fans boo while others cheer in anticipation of who's to come.

"But you know, there's no turning back now."
"This is what makes me... This is what I am."

ALL HAIL SIMON KALIS!

Pyros explode from the entrance ramp in sequence from the left and right sides, culminating at the center as the song picks up, and Simon Kalis steps out from behind the curtains, the spotlight focusing on him. He puts his arms out to his sides and motions them in embrace to the mixed reaction from the crowd before looking up and pointing his hands in the air like guns, pretending to fire a shot from each hand as more pyros explode behind him toward him engulfing him in light. The words "THE LAST SUPERSTAR" burn on the Tron as he blows smoke from his mouth towards a few fans at ringside. He circles the ring and taunts the fans at ringside. He flips them off and hops up onto the apron and removes his black hoody and throws it into the crowd, he is in his signate black spandex tights which read "OUTLAW" down the left side of his leg, "KALIS" down the right side of his leg. He taps the yellow knee brace on his left knee as we quickly catch his black wrestling boots with yellow laces. He cockily swaggers around the ring, putting his cupped right hand to his right ear in a mockery of the booing fans and in honor of the cheering fans at the same time. He finally stops in the center of the ring and stomps his foot down, saluting towards the crowd as more pyros explode off behind him in the ring. Finally he taps the eye patch that covers his left eye and removes his black bandana, throwing it to one of his fans at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Simon Kalis making his last stop before he has to worry about Masquerade this Sunday. An interesting situation with all of that. But Kalis pulling off a huge upset against Shilo Valiant four weeks ago and then nearly outdoing Christy Matthews on the last Breakdown.”

 

Kayl: “Oh, he’s going to be going to big things in SCW, but he’s got the spotlight now. He better run with it or else he’s going to have a very bumpy ride back down the mountain. People are watching him. People are wanting to take him out too.”

 

"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" By The Smashing Pumpkins begins to blare over the PA system. The crowd begins to boo as Giovanni Aries appears from behind the curtain along with Sam following closely behind. They stop a couple of feet in front of the curtain as Giovanni Aries pulls out the cigarette and lights it up. Giovanni Aries takes a deep toke and then leans down to Sam as he blows smoke into her mouth. Giovanni Aries raises up and smirks. Sam begins to smile as well. They then both slowly makes their way to the ring. Suddenly, Travis Green runs out from the back and nails Giovanni Aries from behind with a vicious clothesline, causing him to fall forward and roll forward. Sam just looks at Green before Green shoves her away and then stomps away at Giovanni Aries in the back of the head. The scene cuts to the ring to show Kalis just smirking.

 

Sharper: “Travis Green coming from behind and taking down Giovanni Aries.”

 

Kayl: “Guess he wasn’t just happy with proving his inferiority later. He wanted to kick him a bunch too.”

 

Dawson: “And Kalis seems to almost be enjoying it.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, well, if Aries can’t compete he gets an easy win. He may only have one eye, but he aint an idiot!”

 

Just then Kalis walks over to the ropes and as he does, an explosion is heard and he looks up as Green stomps Aries in the face before dropping down and mounting him and hammering away at him. The crowd boos and some buzz as sparks shoot off from above the ring. Kalis looks around confused before we then see several masks raining down from the ceiling. Kalis just looks around before shaking his head. Travis Green meanwhile doesn’t really care as he gets in a couple more shots on Giovanni Aries as Aries starts to cover up. Several officials run down from the back and start to pull Travis Green off of Aries. Green fights it a bit, but they succeed before getting him over towards the ring. Giovanni rolls over, obviously in pain and holding his face.

 

Dawson: “Thankfully, officials are out here to pull Travis Green off of Giovanni Aries.”

 

Kayl: “Too bad I think Green’s going to be in trouble. He still has to compete tonight and Aries is still conscious!”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, look all over the place, masks are falling from the sky!”

 

Kayl: “Well that’s how every attack should end. We need more showiness like that.”

 

Green fights with the officials as they keep trying to hold him back from Aries. Aries however slowly stirs and some officials go to check on him. Kalis meanwhile looks around as the crowd cheers a bit as a few of the masks land around the ring and then one, noticeably larger, but far more macabre, falls straight down and lands beside Kalis. Kalis looks up, almost looking for someone before shaking his head. He then looks at the mask that fells next to him and bends over, grabbing it.

 

Dawson: “What in the world?”

 

Kayl: “Maybe it’s a gift. To help him high the eyepatch. That look is so 2005.”

 

Kalis just looks at it before shaking his head. He feels the back before turning it around and suddenly, the mask bursts into flames. Kalis throws it back and the mask slowly starts to get destroyed by the flames as he dusts his hands up and tries to pat them down. But as he does, the crowd roars as Masquerade slides into the ring behind him.

 

Sharper: “That mask! It was a distraction!”

 

Dawson: “Masquerade is behind him!”

 

Kalis however doesn’t realize it until Masquerade runs up behind him and hooks his arms before lifting him up and throwing him back in one swift motions with a snap Skeleton Key. Kalis rolls over, holding his neck in pain and Green, noticing this, turns and pushes away from the officials. The officials go to grab him, but Green runs over and into the ring.

 

Sharper: “Skeleton Key! He planted him!”

 

Dawson: “Revenge for Ammo and last Breakdown!”

 

Masquerade just smiles through his mask and rolls to the floor. He then pulls a mask off his face before revealing a smaller one underneath. He places it on the apron and motions tipping his hat before backing up and going to the barricade. He pulls himself up and over it and starts to walk through the crowd. The crowd just roars as the camera focuses on Masquerade. Green just looks at him in shock before turning and going over to Kalis.

 

Sharper: “Green going into the ring! He mentioned Kalis was ‘his boy.” Well, Kalis trained Green and Green going to his mentor’s aide.”

 

Kayl: “Not what he expected, eh? I bet he figured he could make a point and give his mentor an easy win. Talk about staying in his good books.”

 

Dawson: “But Masquerade throwing a wrench into that. Giovanni Aries is still getting up on the floor. Things may not be peachy for Travis Green tonight!”

 

Sharper: “And he faces Masquerade’s partner later tonight, Shilo Valiant!”

 

Dawson: “Oh man this is getting interesting.”

 

Green just continues to check on Kalis as Aries starts to get up in the rampway. The camera focuses on Masquerade as he continues to run through the crowd. The crowd continues to cheer for him as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Shaun Cruze walking backstage, obviously less than pleased from earlier. He walks past one area of the backstage area before we see David Helms. The crowd roars seeing him and David Helms just turns and runs after the newest member of the SCW roster.

 

Helms: “Hey! Shaun!”

 

Shaun stops and turns around. Helms walks over to him and the two quickly shake hands.

 

Shaun: “Hey David.”

 

Helms: “First off, sorry your first couple of weeks in SCW aren’t going to smooth. Two wins though.”

 

Shaun: “Yeah, well, I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on Wallace tonight, but I guess I have to wait. If the guy would just give me a straight answer.”

 

Helms: “Yeah, no doubt. I don’t even know what the hell as up with that last Breakdown. He’s never done something like that. But just watch out man. If he can snap like that, he may be using Retribution to just do it better and for good.”

 

Shaun: “Oh don’t worry there. Not to sound arrogant, but I’ve had tough fights before in IWC. I’ll be ready for him.”

 

Helms: “Sure thing. Either way, wanted to just come over and wish you luck. Seen some of your stuff from IWC and it’s nice seeing someone who at least appreciates competition instead of just wanting the glitz and glory over here.”

 

Shaun: “Yeah. Good luck to you too this Sunday.”

 

Helms smiles and turns around and heads off as Shaun Cruze turns and starts to head where he was going as we head back to ringside.

Jason Zero vs. Greg Cherry

 

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

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

Greg Cherry walks down the aisle and looks out into the audience and stares out into the crowd. He looks towards both sides and then bends down and raises both his arms up in the air. His right hand has his middle and pointer finger and thumb extended while his left hand has his pointer finger extended. Pyro shoots out from behind him as he looks straight up. He then begins walking down to the ring as the cheers rain down from the fans.

He enters the ring and brings both his hands to his head as if he's saluting then flings his arms out to his sides then brings them back with the "Penn Sen" hand gesture. He turns around and does this to the other side of the ring before turning back around, raising his hands with the "VLI" symbol.

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

 

Sharper: “Greg Cherry is only a few days away from getting at least something he’d want. But what’s interesting is that he turned down the match at first.”

 

Kayl: “We’ve all talked about how he’s got a damn magnet to those belts. Well, he’s got a bigger one for the World Title now. He wants to see his wife and kid again. Shilo is practically giving him that opportunity, while also giving him a shot at the US Championship.”

 

Dawson: “And this Sunday, Greg Cherry needs to win to essentially be a forerunner for a World title shot, but also to keep one of the records he cares most about, being the longest reigning male champion in SCW history.”

 

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

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

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

Wooaaah, Woooooah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm a knight of the wind

The crowd boos as he then drops down and the music fades out.

 

Dawson: “A lot of history between these two. Revolving around the SCW World Championship. The US Championship.”

 

Sharper: “Greg Cherry won his first World Championship by pinning Zero in a match that included the Canadian Heartbreak Kid. Jason Zero won his second US Championship by pinning Greg Cherry. There is no love lost between the two and they renew their rivalry tonight.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and just days before Greg Cherry has a huge night set for him and Jason Zero....well, who the hell knows what this guy is going to do. He keeps hyping things up and Retribution, he’s going to do something spectacular. What the hell does that mean?”

 

Dawson: “Your guess is as good as ours.”

 

The bell sounds and Zero just smirks as he looks at Greg. Greg and Zero walk up to each other and meet up in the middle of the ring. They trade some words before Zero turns away a bit, laughing at something said, and Greg suddenly grabs him by the head and rolls him up in an inside cradle.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Zero kicks out. The crowd roars and both get up. Greg quickly chops Zero in the chest. The crowd woos and Greg nails him with a hard right. He pushes him into the ropes before firing him across the ring. Zero bounces off the ropes and Greg attempts a clothesline, but Zero ducks and stops. Greg turns around and Zero dropkicks him down. Both men get up and Greg turns to Zero only for Zero to take him down with a headlock takedown and lock in a side headlock.

 

Sharper: “And Zero takes control here with Greg pinned against the mat.”

 

Kayl: “Think of the titles these two have held. Maybe the two most decorated. But it’s been a while since they held the big one.”

 

Sharper: “And they know that. Greg definitely does now. Jason Zero...he always knows it too.”

 

Zero holds on and Greg rolls over and gets his hands and knees under him. He starts to lift himself up before Zero pulls up and nails him with a palm strike. Greg falls to a knee and Zero turns and grabs him and nails him with a forearm. Zero snapmares him over before backing up and bouncing off the ropes before just stomping him in the back of the head. Greg rolls over and starts to get up and Zero grabs him and quickly hooks his arm before snapping him over with a snap suplex. He floats over into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Greg kicks out. He turns and Zero turns and grabs him before driving the point of his elbow into the face and head of Greg. Zero then gets up and lifts Greg up. He wrenches his arm before then whipping him across the ring and into the corner. Greg hits hard and Zero runs after him and attempts a jumping splash in the corner, but Greg moves out of the way. Zero hits hard, chest first and turns around and Greg grabs him and quickly snaps him down with a side belly to belly suplex. Zero rolls through, but Greg rolls him onto his back and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Zero kicks out.

 

Dawson: “And Greg with the nearfall.”

 

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant has to be watching this. Zero hopes the everyone is watching this.”

 

Kayl: “His return hasn’t exactly been awe-inspiring. No Oscar nominated movies will be made from this story...at least so far.”

 

Dawson: “But Zero. He’ll have a way to alter that. Add that a win over Greg Cherry will turn heads.”

 

Zero starts to slowly pull himself up and Cherry grabs Zero and drags him up before nailing him with another forearm. He then turns and pushes him into the ropes. He then fires him back into the ropes. Zero bounces off the ropes and Cherry catches him with a boot to the ribs. He then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and Zero suddenly grabs him and takes him down with a clothesline. Zero turns as Cherry gets back up and Zero scoops him up and drops him with a backbreaker and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Cherry gets his shoulder up. He turns and Zero quickly goes into a reverse chinlock. He pushes up on the bridge of Cherry’s nose. He pulls back and Cherry winces and turns, starting to lift himself up. Zero quickly throws him back with a mat slam. He then runs into the ropes. Zero bounces off them and hits a powerdrive elbow before going for a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Greg kicks out again. He turns and starts to get up and Zero gets up and stomps him in the head. Greg rolls over and Zero smirks as he walks around the ring.

 

Kayl: “There’s the Zero of old. Just taking out Greg like that. Almost taunting him.”

 

Sharper: “Far from over yet though. Greg’s still kicking.”

 

Kayl: “So is Zero. But Zero’s kicking Greg. Greg’s just moving!”

 

Zero then turns and stomps Greg again. Greg rolls over and starts to pull himself up. Zero then grabs Greg and lifts him up before hoisting him up and throwing him back with a back suplex. He rolls over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Greg kicks out. Zero looks down and grabs Greg and lifts him up again before Zero snaps him back with a back suplex again. Zero then rolls over and gets up before exiting to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope. Cherry remains down and Zero gets to the top rope and looks over at Greg before then diving off and attempting a swandive headbutt, but Greg rolls out of the way. The crowd roars and Zero rolls over, holding his head in pain. He slowly gets up and Greg then turns and looks at him and snapmares him over before running forward into the ropes. He bounces off them only to nail him with a spinning heel kick to the face. Zero rolls over and slowly starts to pull himself up, dazed though. Greg just looks over and grabs him and spikes him with a DDT. He then sits up and falls over before starting to get back up.

 

Dawson: “DDT into the mat. Zero is down!”

 

Sharper: “Greg Cherry is slowly getting up, but not exactly in the best of shape. He needs to work fast.”

 

Greg then turns to Zero and grabs him. He stretches out his neck before lifting Zero up and nails him with a hard right. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Zero bounces off the ropes and Greg nails him with a back elbow. Zero pops back up and turns to Greg and Greg kicks him in the ribs and hooks his head. He sets up for the Keystone State of Mind, but Zero blocks it and kicks his one leg away before lifting Greg up and back dropping him over. Greg rolls over and gets up and Zero kicks him in the knee. Greg winces and falls to a knee before Zero runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and Greg attempts a clothesline, but Zero ducks and then spins around Greg before rolling him up. Zero however reaches back and pushes down on the ropes for added leverage!

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos and Greg kicks out right after the three. Zero quickly pulls himself through the ropes and to the floor. He walks back and smirks as Greg looks up and looks at Zero in shock.

 

Kayl: “He stole it!”

 

Dawson: “Yeah he did. He had the ropes.”

 

Kayl: “But it counts as a win. What the referee doesn’t see, he can’t call!”

 

Greg just looks down and almost with a brief period of doubt setting in. He looks up at Zero as Zero just smiles as he backs away. Greg just looks down and shakes his head.

 

Dawson: “And Greg realizing that just like that he could be stalled some more.”

 

Zero continues on his way to the back as Greg just continues to look at him before getting up and looking at the referee.

The scene then cuts backstage to show Shilo Valiant standing at the SCW Interview area, the US Championship sitting over his shoulder. He just smiles as he looks at the camera.

 

Shilo: “Hey Greg! That wasn’t half bad. Too bad about the loss. But it’s Zero. We all knew that he may pull something like that. Don’t look so glum. I won’t have to resort to something like that to be you. I’m going to do what I need to, but you can know that I’ll do things on the up and up. Don’t bother pointing out that I make money in my entrance and look a bit dishevel as reasons not to trust me. I mean, I look perfectly trustworthy? Right?”

 

The crowd roars a bit as the scene cuts back to the ring to show to Greg Cherry looking up at the big screen. Shilo meanwhile continues.

 

Shilo: “But Greg, now it’s time for you to watch me operate and I can tell you this right now. Win or lose, I am going to not only show you that I will outdo you this Sunday, but I will damn sure be more entertaining. So watch Greg....because tonight may be the last Breakdown, you can flaunt your history. At Retribution, you know, I’m coming and I’m coming to take my spot in the books.”

 

Shilo just smiles as he starts to walk off. The crowd roars a bit with some boos. The camera cuts back to Greg who just smirks a bit, as he catches his breath. We then cut back to the big screen and we see Shilo walk back.

 

Shilo: “NECRO! There we go....”

 

Shilo smiles as he turns and walks off.

 

Sharper: “Well Shilo Valiant says he’ll be more entertaining that Greg Cherry. We’ll find out, when we return!”

 

The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Shilo Valiant vs. Travis Green

 

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman screams the word "NECRO!" across the sound system!

So hold on until it's over

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

The spotlight and camera search around the arena as "I'm Here for Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert screams through the arena, the cameras and lights trying to locate the elusive Necro-Merchant. They quickly spot a growing fog near the entryway of the ramp.

Oh!
I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment

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 face and coloured 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. The United States Championship belt sits over his shoulder.

'Sall right
You'll be fine
Baby I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes, not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'm gonna work it 'til your totally blown

Making his way down the ramp, he takes out two vial guns from his belt and holds them up, his feet planted as blue fire shoots from the stage behind him. As the fire raises then dies, the lights return to normal, revealing Shilo in full color.

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on 'til it's over

Making his way to the audience, Shilo is approached by fans who hand him money for a hit from his vial guns of necro. As he takes the payment and gives the fan what they want, both Shilo and the fans yell Necro.

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I am about to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

Returning to the ring, Shilo tosses the now empty guns away and slides into the ring, staying on his stomach to view the hungry crowd. Standing up, he makes his way over to the turnbuckle, jumps on and shouts to the fans and finger shooting them as if he still had his vial guns.

I'M HERE FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!

 

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant said he was going to make this entertaining, more so than Greg Cherry’s match against Jason Zero.”

 

Kayl: “Now now. Let’s not get on Greg right now. I mean, Travis Green may have some skills that Jason Zero didn’t have. Maybe Travis is drunk and he’ll just fall all over the place!”

 

Dawson: “Let’s hope not.”

 

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

 

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


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

Travis turns around, looking at the crowd about three lines into the first chorus. He glances at the fans, his happy go lucky expressions of old replaced with a hardened look of determination laced with a drug incurred frenzy. He slowly paces down the ramp, stopping half way down to raise an arm in a fist as pyro explodes from the sides raining sparks down while Travis poses. Travis lowers his arm and briskly walks to the ring, taking his time to walk up the steps rather than slide in as he used to. He steps in between the ropes, taking his time to reach the corner across from him. He glances over his shoulder towards the entrance before climbing to the second rope, holding his fist in the air again as he did on the ramp. Travis steps down from the turnbuckle, turning and using the ropes to stretch as his music dies down and the lights return to normal.

 

Kayl: “Someone died on the heart monitor in his entrance, does that classify this as more entertaining?”

 

Dawson: “Stop it. I think Shilo Valiant is talking about making the point that he’s ready to go. Greg Cherry had a tough match against Jason Zero. Shilo has a chance to gain a bit of an advantage this Sunday with a quick match here against Travis Green.”

 

Kayl: “Then just leave. Get a countout loss.”

 

Sharper: “That would defeat Shilo’s purpose.”

 

Kayl: “You never know. If someone hates Shilo, technically, he would be entertaining to them!”

 

The bell sounds as Travis Green turns back to Shilo and Shilo takes his belt off and places it under the bottom turnbuckle behind him. Travis runs across the ring and Shilo turns around and Travis suddenly grabs him and hip throws him over before grabbing the arm. Shilo however quickly holds on and gets to the ropes and steps through. Travis lets go and backs up. Shilo steps back into the ring and shakes out his arm before moving forward only for Travis to lunge, but Shilo moves out of the way. The two then reset before lunging and grappling before Shilo wrenches the arm of Travis Green. Green holds on before spinning around and pulling Shilo’s arm back with a hammerlock. He then pushes him into the corner before jumping up and dropkicking him in the back. Shilo turns and shakes out his arm and Travis gets up before snapmaring him over and going for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Shilo kicks out. He turns and Green grabs him and locks him by the arm. Shilo starts to get up with Green holding onto the arm.

 

Sharper: “Travis Green focusing on the arm of Shilo Valiant. Controlling him with an elementary armbar.”

 

Kayl: “Hey. Whatever works.”

 

Green continues to hold on and kicks Shilo in the ribs. He then knees him before rolling back and right into a position so he’s sitting on the shoulder of Shilo while Shilo is seated. Green quickly turns and pulls him down with a crucifix pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Shilo kicks out. He rolls through and both get up and Shilo knees Green in the ribs. He then clubs him in the back. Shilo winces and Shilo then clubs him again. He follows up by going to whip Green into the ropes, but Green spins through and sends Shilo into the ropes. Shilo bounces off the ropes and Green lifts him up, but Shilo spins through and arm drags him down. Both get up and Green runs at Shilo and Shilo jumps up and hits a calf kick to the jaw, knocking him down. Green pops back up and Shilo then lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop before clotheslining him down.

 

Dawson: “Shilo coming back strong.”

 

Kayl: “Well no messing around. I mean, he’s the US Champion. You want to be on your best.”

 

Sharper: “And he’ll want momentum going against Greg Cherry this Sunday. He doesn’t want an arm injury either!”

 

Green starts to get up and Shilo turns and nails him with a hard right. He then whips him into the ropes. Green bounces off the ropes and Shilo back drops him down. Green slowly pulls himself up and Shilo hooks his arm before hoisting him up before turning and throwing him down on the top rope. Shilo turns and nails him with a hard right. Shilo then walks over to the corner and slingshots himself to the top rope. He looks over and dives off, but Green pushes back and lands on the apron. Shilo lands on his feet and Green quickly grabs him and pulls him back by the hair, forcing him to the mat. Shilo starts to get up and Green slingshots back into the ring and elbows Shilo hard in the back of the head. Shilo drops down to his hands and knees. Shilo starts to get back up and Green grabs him and lifts him up before back suplexing him back. Green turns and goes for the pin.

Shilo gets his hand on the bottom rope. He then pulls himself onto the apron as Green gets back up. Shilo pulls himself up and Green grabs him, but Shilo quickly drops him with a guillotine drop. Green falls back and Shilo just smirks before pulling himself back up to a standing position on the apron.

 

Sharper: “Shilo telegraphing Travis Green on that one.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and quickly having a huge opening. Finish him off here! Then you can focus on Greg! That’s what matters!”

 

Green gets back up and Shilo then slingshots himself over the top rope and lands on the back of Green’s head with a leg drop. The crowd ohs and Shilo Valiant rolls him over and goes for the pin.

Green gets his shoulder up. He turns and Shilo looks over. He then grabs Green and starts to lift him up. He then nails him with a hard right before kicking him in the ribs. He then lifts him up and drops him with a sitout front suplex. He then gets up and walks over to the ropes before jumping up. He attempts a lionsault, but Green rolls towards him. Shilo gets to his feet and Green starts to get up and Shilo moves towards him and Green elbows him in the ribs. Green winces and stumbles back before Green spins around and drills him with a roaring elbow. The crowd ohs and Shilo falls to the mat. Green drops to his knees.

 

Dawson: “Oh! What a shot!”

 

Kayl: “Jesus! You could hear that! Shilo may be out until next week!”

 

Dawson: “Perfectly connected to the jaw too. He may be done!”

 

Sharper: “Talk about an upset if this happens!”

 

Shilo starts to get up. Green then grabs him and looks to set him up from behind but Shilo backflips through. He then pushes Green forward. Green stumbles forward to the ropes and Shilo then runs after him and clotheslines Green up and over the top rope and to the floor. Shilo then turns around and falls to his knees. He then starts to get up before we then see Giovanni Aries running out from the back. He then runs right into Green as he starts to get up and just spears him hard, chest first into the ring apron. The crowd ohs as Green winces. Aries then grabs Green in a cobra clutch and pulls back before then throwing him back, causing him to land on his shoulder behind him. He then starts to pull back as the crowd roars. The referee notices this and calls for the bell. Shilo just looks over and throws his arms in the air. He then looks out at the crowd as the crowd starts to boo. Shilo just looks down as the referee starts to go down to try and get Aries off of Green.

 

Dawson: “Giovanni Aries now out here and trying to get revenge from earlier!”

 

Sharper: “Yeah, but I think in the process, he just cost Shilo Valiant the match!”

 

Kayl: “No very entertaining...”

 

Shilo just looks around before then looking up to the crowd and actually starting to smile. The crowd starts to roar a bit and Shilo then into the far ropes before bouncing off them. He then runs over towards the ropes and dives over the top rope with a flip dive onto Aries and Green. The crowd erupts in cheers and Shilo rolls through. He holds his head in a bit of pain. He then starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “But that was damn sure entertaining! This crowd brought to their feet as Shilo lands on both Aries and Green!”

 

Dawson: “Last word there!”

 

Shilo slowly gets up and he looks at both Green and Aries before wincing again and then raising his own arm in victory. Aries and Green both writhe in pain as several officials start to make their way down to the ring to keep Aries and Green apart. Shilo just turns around and looks out at the crowd. “For Your Entertainment” starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd cheers. Shilo just smirks a bit as he hears the roar of the crowd and then starts to make his way to the back.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up at ringside to see Adam Sharper, Jim Dawson and Donovan Kayl at ringside as “Rescue Me” plays in the background.

 

Dawson: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Huge night so far as everyone is trying to get those final shots in before Retribution. But we’re still not done.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. We have a huge main event still to come. David Helms and Lucas Knight will go at it. Christy Matthews will be watching...and with how Lucas Knight was earlier tonight, David Helms may have a long night.”

 

Dawson: “Yeah. Lucas is definitely frustrated, but at the same time, the last time they went at it, David Helms had Lucas Knight crawling away from the ring.”

 

Sharper: “In any case, we also have a bit of news. Thorn earlier tonight mentioned the position of our owner with regards to the Thorn/CHBK match and we can confirm that she has actually decided that she will remain at the SCW Head Offices in Toronto and Laura Desoubrais, CHBK’s wife, will actually be joining her there to avoid a further conflict of interest in this match. A very interesting development.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. The first show she won’t physically be at since she claimed ownership.”

 

Sharper: “But also no extra distractions for Thorn if you want to think of it that way. It will get settled in the ring.”

 

Dawson: “And that all is this Sunday..”

The music switches as we then see the SCW Retribution 2011 logo come up on the screen as “Last Man Standing” by Pop Evil plays in the background. The crowd roars as we then see the stills for the matches come up.

 

Sharper: “And this Sunday, it’s one of the big shows of the year. Retribution! So many classics in its history and so many this year that will add to the list...”

 

Christy Matthews vs. David Helms

SCW World Championship

 

Dawson: “The World Championship will be on the line when David Helms defends against Christy Matthews. Matthews went through seven others to earn this shot, but is she ready to face the World Champion? She said she’d do anything. Will she do anything or will Helms continue his reign?”

 

Ace Marshall vs. Damian Angel

 

Kayl: “Ace Marshall wants to be bigger than God and apparently bigger than the Devil Himself. He’s gone about antagonizing the former World Champion, but is he going to live to regret it?!”

 

Giovanni Aries vs. Travis Green

 

Dawson: “Travis Green thinks he should have been the one to face Shilo Valiant for the US Championship two weeks ago. Giovanni Aries got that chance and what started as more oneupsmanship seems to have pride on the line now too.”

 

Anthony Wallace vs. Shaun Cruze

 

Sharper: “Shaun Cruze showed up in SCW two weeks ago on Breakdown and immediately since then, Anthony Wallace hasn’t been too pleased by the spotlight on the young man. He ruthlessly attacked him backstage before asking for a match for Cruze to get revenge on him. You try to make sense of that?”

 

Vampira vs. Shawn Winters

 

Dawson: “Shawn Winters has been riding high saying that he ran Jake Starr out of SCW. Farther from the truth, but his constant desire for the spotlight has irked Vampira and Vampira is looking to dethrone the former two time World Champion from the top and instead, take his place.”

 

Mike Harrison vs. Dillusion

 

Sharper: “Harrison says he wants to take out another champion. Another champion will fall at his feet. But how he went after Dillusion, this is now personal. Harrison pretended to be Saber and after what Saber did to Dillusion, for someone who isn’t exactly sane, that wasn’t a good idea.”

 

Brittany Lohan vs. Hallucigen

SCW Underground Championship

 

Kayl: “After months, she is getting her chance at the Underground Championship. She looked dominant early, but can she get it done and win her first piece of SCW gold this Sunday. Hallucigen is the most unlikely of champions, but he has managed to hold on this long. Can he keep it going?”

 

Ravyn Taylor & Lucas Knight vs. Alex Desoubrais Jr. & Rachel Foxx

 

Sharper: “Alex Desoubrais Jr. wants nothing more than to get his hands on his dad. Whether he can get that, it’s unknown. But he can get his hands on the female that has led to the implosion of the Desoubrais family. Add that Ravyn Taylor loves to play games. Rachel Foxx is violent...and Lucas Knight is hungry. This could be a very intriguing contrast of motivations.”

 

Katie Steward vs. Marina Trent

Two out of Three Falls

 

Kayl: “Who will no longer be royalty? That’s what it may be about, but also in there is a lot of hatred between these two. Marina Trent has a chance to make a huge statement, but so can Katie Steward. Who really is the best? Katie Steward has defeated Marina Trent twice in the past, but with so much on the line in terms of pride, can Marina Trent turn it all around?”

 

Simon Kalis vs. Masquerade

 

Dawson: “Simon Kalis, after being eliminated from the tournament, cost Masquerade his shot at the World Championship. But Masquerade also mentioned an interesting bit of detail. Kalis eliminated Shilo and pinned him in the ring. That was something Masquerade wanted to do in this friendly rivalry budding within Karnivale. Can Masquerade do something Shilo Valiant couldn’t do and that’s beat Simon Kalis or will Simon Kalis continue to rise in stock in SCW with another big win?”

 

Warren James vs. James Evans

SCW Adrenaline Championship

 

Kayl: “The Adrenaline Championship will be on the line as James Evans’ arrogance rubbed Warren James the wrong way and Warren James gets his first shot at SCW gold. Warren James has had many big wins, but no matches have been as big as this one. Meanwhile, James Evans continues to beat the odds. Can he keep doing so?”

 

Ducky vs. Syren

SCW Women’s Championship

 

Sharper: “Arguably the most unpredictable Women’s Championship match in SCW History. Syren may be one of the greatest champions, but Ducky is all over the place and we saw that earlier. If Ducky can focus though, she could be the most dangerous challenger that Syren has ever had to deal with.”

 

Chad Evans & Katelyn Buehler vs. Stacy Kissinger & Gable Winchester

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

Dawson: “Chad Evans wants to lead Katelyn Buehler to a title. Katelyn Buehler has been criticized in the past for her skill, but with God himself leading her, the World Tag Team Championship may be in trouble. Can the Gospel of Chad overcome Kiss-Chester or can Kissinger and Winchester make their first defense a successful one?”

 

Greg Cherry vs. Shilo Valiant

SCW United States Championship

 

Kayl: “Shilo Valiant is coming close to ending Greg Cherry’s record as the longest reigning male champion in SCW history. He wants to do it by beating the record holder. But despite that, this match is a bit different for Greg Cherry. While he would love to keep the record, he wants a World Championship match more. The US Championship is on the line, but Greg Cherry will need to win the title and he can guarantee himself that Shilo Valiant won’t leapfrog him in the World Championship rankings too.”

 

Thorn vs. CHBK

 

Sharper: “And finally, the match that Thorn wants and many of us have been waiting for. He can finally get his hands on CHBK after being kicked in the jaw on December 19th. Can he defeat the legendary CHBK and get a measure of revenge or will CHBK manage to defeat the former World Champion and show that he can still go with the best of them. CHBK made him prove he deserves the match, can Thorn now get the big win?”

 

The Retribution logo returns to the screen.

 

Kayl: “And big thanks to Pop Evil for their song, ‘Last Man Standing’ which will be the official theme song of Retribution!”

 

Sharper: “Retribution 2011. Live from Des Moines, Iowa. It will be a historic event, but for what reasons. Order it today, live this Sunday, only on pay per view!”

“Rescue Me” starts to play in the background again as we then see Lucas Knight walking down the hallway in one area of the backstage area before turning to show David Helms walking out of his locker room. The crowd cheers upon seeing Helms.

 

Sharper: “And when we return, Helms and Knight will do battle, only on Breakdown!”

COMMERCIAL:

Lucas Knight vs. “Dangerous” David Helms

 

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

“YOU THINK YOUR BIG TIME?”

“YOU’RE GONNA FUCKING DIE BIG TIME!”

“YOU READY? HERE COMES THE PAIN!”

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

The crowd erupts with a tirade of boo’s as Lucas just confidently begins to walk towards the ring without even a care in the world as Ebdon follows with a smirk on his face. Lucas stops mid drift to talk trash to random fans who obviously say something which caught his attention but he laughs afterwards and continues on with encouragement by Ebdon. Once he reaches the bottom of the ramp Lucas leaps up onto the apron and climbs into the ring via the middle ropes and extends his arms as the crowd’s ire towards him grows louder and louder, Ebdon however begins to walk around the ring receiving various taunts from the crowd which he ignores. In the ring Lucas then begins to remove his jacket and hang's it over the steel ring post in his corner before kneeling down and talking to Ebdon about something, one can only assume a strategy for the match...

 

Sharper: “It’s been a number of months since these two men crossed paths and last time, David Helms sent Lucas Knight running.”

 

Kayl: “Well he talked earlier about how he wants the opportunities. He wants what he deserves. He’s got the champion. Come on Hot Shot. Show us what you can do.”

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Helms, his SCW World Title fastened around his waist, begins to walk down the ramp; high fiving with fans as he makes his way to the ring. As he gets to the apron, Helms slides under the rope and runs over to the nearest ring post where he jumps up onto the second turnbuckle and throws his arms out wide on either side. As Kathryn climbs up onto the ring apron, the crowd are going completely nuts for Helms, the self professed Last Shadow of Hope, who drops down from the ring post and runs across to the opposite side, once again climbing to the second turnbuckle. Hitting the self high five one last time, Helms jumps into the air and lands in the middle of the ring before walking over to the side of the ring where he wife leans on the ropes. Kathryn kisses her husband before dropping down to the outside, leaving Helms to lean back on the ropes and wait for the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “David Helms going to have his head on a swivel to say the least. Christy Matthews likely will be watching. She has a hell of an opportunity waiting for her this Sunday.”

 

Kayl: “She said on Ammo she would do anything for the title. Well I want to see how far. Helms better be ready for anything.”

 

Dawson: “But then again, Christy Matthews has criticized others for using less than stellar tactics.”

 

Sharper: “Pointing out how people get on Infamous’ case for doing so when others do it. But they haven’t had a problem with doing what they felt needs to be done.”

 

Kayl: “Remember Starr when Lucas and Christy dropped him on his head. Could that be in Helms’ future?”

 

Sharper: “I hope not. I certainly hope not.”

 

The bell sounds and Lucas Knight runs at Helms and immediately catches him with a running knee to the ribs. Helms winces and Lucas knees him again and again and again in the corner. The crowd boos and Lucas then nails him with a hard right before just throwing him out of the corner. Helms slowly starts to get up and Lucas runs at him and nails him with a facewash kick to the side of the head. Helms rolls over and starts to get to the ropes. Lucas just runs after him and Helms pulls himself out of the ring. He walks around and Lucas exits the ring before diving off the apron and nailing him with a double axe handle smash.(1) Helms falls over as the crowd continues to boo. Lucas then grabs Helms and drags him up before turning and spinning him around and throwing him shoulder first into the barricade. (2) Helms falls over as the crowd boos. Lucas then walks over and stomps Helms in the face before backing up and stomping him again and again. (3) He then looks around as the crowd boos. Lucas just bends over and grabs lifts Helms up. (4) He then spins him around and rolls him into the ring. Helms rolls over as Lucas slides in. He then crawls over to Helms and snaps at the referee.

 

Dawson: “Helms is quickly on the defensive right now. Lucas has just come right at him.”

 

Kayl: “Marching orders or just what he wants to do? He wants to be Champion, but Infamous wants the World Title too and Christy Matthews has that shot!”

 

Sharper: “Cover here...The count.”

David kicks out. Lucas looks down and nails him with a hard forearm. Helms rolls over as Kathryn looks on. Lucas then gets up and stomps him in the face. David rolls over again and Lucas grabs him and drags him up before walking him across the ring and throwing him to the top turnbuckle pad. Helms turns to Lucas and Lucas chops him hard across the chest. He then kicks him in the ribs before going to whip him across the ring. David however spins through, sending Lucas across the ring. The crowd cheers a bit and David runs after Lucas, but Lucas gets his boot up. Helms stumbles back and Lucas runs out of the corner and clotheslines him down. The crowd boos again and Helms starts to stir. Lucas then grabs him and lifts him up before going for a back suplex, but Helms backflips through. He then grabs Lucas and pulls him down with an inverted front face lock into a backbreaker. Lucas rolls over, arching his back in pain as Helms takes a moment to catch his breath.

 

Dawson: “Helms takes Lucas down with a quick backbreaker.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t think he expected to be fighting from behind this early in the match.”

 

Kayl: “But one thing to note, if Lucas is fighting this way, he can’t really use much except that Ebdon may play a role in the training. Christy may come at you a different way. He’s got to always be thinking. And right now, he hasn’t been ready for what Lucas threw at him.”

 

Lucas starts to get up and Helms turns and clubs him in the back. He then rears back and hits him with an uppercut. He then knees him in the ribs. Helms spins him around and throws him into the corner. Helms then runs at him and nails him with a running knee of his own. Lucas winces and Helms drags him out before throwing him over with a vertical suplex. He then gets up and drives his fist into the face of Lucas and goes for the pin.

Helms starts to pull himself up. Lucas however grabs him and lifts him up before quickly throwing him back with a mat slam. Lucas then walks over to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Lucas telegraphs that and with that slam throws Helms back down.”

 

Kayl: “Champs gonna have to dig deep here. Lucas Knight is kicking his ass. Hate his guts. But I’ll give him props.”

 

Helms starts to get up and Lucas walks over before grabbing him by the head. He nails him with a hard right. He then scoops him up and slams him down before stomping him in the face. Lucas then walks over to the corner and exits to the apron. He looks around before climbing up to the top rope.

The crowd cheers and Helms nails him with another hard right before climbing up to the middle rope. He then grabs Lucas before looking around and stepping up to the top rope.

Lucas gets his shoulder up. He rolls over and Helms looks up. He then starts to get up as Lucas stirs. He slowly pulls himself up and Helms grabs him from behind before throwing him back with a reverse DDT. He then rolls over and exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope.

 

Sharper: “Lucas is down on the mat. Going to the top rope didn’t work for Lucas. How about for David Helms?”

 

Dawson: “He’s got to be careful.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. He slips from up there or if Lucas catches him, Christy may have a walk in a park to the World Championship!”

 

Helms gets to the top as the crowd continues to cheer. Lucas remains down and Helms dives off and nails him with a top rope elbow drop. He then rolls through before diving over and hooking the leg.

Lucas bounces off the ropes and Helms jumps up and attempts a hurricanrana, but Lucas blocks it and drops Helms with a sitout powerbomb before falling back himself.

 

Kayl: “And that ends that!”

 

Dawson: “Powerbomb counter by Lucas Knight, but he’s so sapped that he can’t take advantage of it!”

 

Sharper: “Helms is down. Lucas is slowly trying to move. It may be too little too late for Lucas Knight.”

 

Kayl: “Come on Helms. Get you head out of your ass. Beat Lucas. Beat Christy. Show Infamous they can’t keep doing this crap!”

He then kicks him in the ribs and grabs at the head of Lucas, but Lucas spins out and pulls him in with a short-arm clothesline. Helms pops back up and Lucas grabs him and walks forward before dropping him with the Hail Britannia. The crowd boos as Helms rolls onto his stomach, holding his back.

 

Kayl: “Christy’s gotta love this. Helms is fighting in a hard fought match here just days before he has to face her!”

 

Sharper: “We mentioned the motivation of Lucas Knight. No matter what it could be, so far, he’s got to be succeeding. Helms is in pain. He’s not one hundred percent anymore and in the process, he’s taking the World Champion to the limit!”

 

Lucas Knight looks up and turns before grabbing David Helms and starting to lift him up. He then kicks him in the ribs before hooking his head and then his arm.

The crowd roars and Helms starts to get up. Lucas slowly gets up and immediately looks less then impressed. He turns and looks at Helms and attempts a stiff clothesline, but Helms ducks. Lucas stumbles forward and turns around before Helms runs at him and clotheslines him over the top rope to the floor. Helms turns around and Ebdon slides into the ring and Helms turns towards him and Ebdon clotheslines him down. Helms slowly stirs as the crowd now starts to boo. We then see Christy Matthews walk down from the back.

 

Sharper: “Oh damn it! Helms wins it, but Ebdon takes him down! And now here comes Christy Matthews.”

 

Dawson: “We’ve stressed on how she said she’d do anything.”

 

Kayl: “David. You know you have to fight dirty. I know you don’t like it. But stop thinking about your values and worry about yourself!”

 

Christy hops onto the apron as she gets there and the crowd boos. Ebdon mounts Helms and nails him with a couple of hard shots to the jaw and Helms rolls over. Ebdon then gets up and smiles as Christy just walks over to Helms and drops down to her knees. The cameraman manages to get in close to pick up her voice.

 

Christy: “Sorry David.....but I’m not going to let this opportunity get away.”

 

Christy then nails David with a hard right and then another. David covers up a bit and Christy then walks over to the leg and pulls on it before jerking on it again. She then steps forward and Helms immediately starts to block it as Christy drops down and attempts to lock in the Princess’s Curse. Helms gets his hands up to avoid Christy from locking in the Cravate and Christy nails him with a hard right trying to daze him long enough. Ebdon just watches, almost intentionally not getting involved.

 

Sharper: “Christy is trying to lock in the Princess’ Curse!”

 

Dawson: “Talk about an ironic name. She almost felt bad for doing this to Helms! Almost like a curse, but if she wants to make history.”

 

Sharper: “But David is blocking it. He’s trying to fight it. Ebdon’s just watching.”

 

Christy snaps at Helms and Ebdon then moves over and stomps him in the face. He stomps him again and again before Christy then reaches forward and locks in the hold. Helms yells in pain as Kathryn yells into the ring. Christy pulls back as Lucas Knight gets up and looks in the ring and smiles as Christy pulls back. Helms yells in pain as he reaches forward, almost looking like he’s going to tap. Christy continues to pull back before we then see Thorn, Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger run out from the back. The crowd roars and Christy lets go and rolls out of the ring. Ebdon steps out of the ring too and Helms rolls over, holding his jaw and back in pain. Gable, Stacy and Thorn enter the ring. Thorn gets up and both Gable and Stacy look over at them.

 

Dawson: “Helms had that hold in on him for a few moments, but Christy showed she has no problems taking advantage of a situation.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah, but will the situation show itself. Helms just had a hell of a match and then that attack after the match!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Helms isn’t going to be too pleased either. He’s in pain now, but he’ll be good to go this Sunday.”

 

Christy just backs up the rampway. She just takes a few deep breaths, almost as if she is savouring the moment. Lucas joins them and just starts to walk to the back as Ebdon raises Christy Matthew’s arm over her head. Helms just looks over as Thorn starts to check on him. Gable and Stacy just continue to stand guard.

 

Sharper: “Could that be the scene we see this Sunday? Could we see the first ever female World Champion crowned at Retribution? David Helms has got a huge challenge on his hands. Christy Matthews has a huge opportunity. Something has gotta give. Can Christy make history or will Helms continue to reign supreme?! We’ll find out this Sunday!”

 

Christy continues to go to the back as Ebdon raises her arm in victory and Helms starts to be helped up by Thorn as the scene slowly fades to black...
