Breakdown - March 31, 2010

DARK MATCH:

Marina Trent defeats Blair Kivisto via pinfall

The SCW symbol comes onto the screen.

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

The scene then fades to black.

MAIN SHOW:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Shilo Valiant, Blake Mason, Thorn & David Helms, Fred Debonair, Masquerade, Dark Triad and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.

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

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Wednesday Night Breakdown as we pull into Oakland as we continue to move towards Tactical Warfare. I’m Adam Sharper alongside Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots and tonight, a huge main event.”

Thorn vs. Josh Hudson pops up on the screen as the crowd cheers.

Dawson: “No doubt. Josh Hudson will face Thorn, just two weeks after having attacked Jake Starr in front of the world. He dropped Jake Starr with the Go 2 Sleep and now he has to deal with the Social Misfits.”

Knots: “But what about Jason Zero? What about Greg Cherry? A lot of questions are hanging from last week and I want answers, damn it. I hope we get them tonight.”

Dawson: “Who knows, Jonathan. Jason Zero loves to play games, and Greg Cherry, I’m still in shock with that.”

Sharper: “In any case, hope to get some answers, but we’re going to kick it off with arguably the hottest group in wrestling today. The Dark Triad hopes to continue its unparalleled success.”

Syren, Ravyn Taylor & Brittany Lohan vs. Ashley Cherry, Gigi Steward & Madison Steward

“Temporary Insanity (Pop Mix)” by Krista explodes over the speaker systems and the fans know who’s coming out next, they put their hands together to welcome the Wrestling Princess. She never disappoints her fans or makes them wait long. Gigi strides out from backstage exchanging smiles with her fans. After several minutes of posing for the fans and an onslaught of camera snaps from the photographers, Gigi turns around to show off her Desire jacket, complete with her logo of the pink and baby blue winged cross. With her award winning smile, she turns her head and looks over shoulder at the fans, while keeping her back to them as the place seems to get louder with each step Gigi takes. Gigi leisurely unzips her jacket revealing the SCW Women’s Championship around her waist. She unfastens the belt and holds her prized belt in the air causing the place to erupt into loud cheering and waving We Love Gigi banners.

Gigi twists around and makes her way to the ring, on the way she throws the title belt over her shoulder. With her fans in mind, she makes sure to stop on each side of the security wall to greet her fans with some Hi-Fives while making sure to keep her jacket in place so the fans can see her name on the hood of her Team Desire jacket. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp and runs her hand through her hair removing the hood and the hair from her eyes so her opponent can get a good look at face.

Gigi walks over to the corner where the closest fans are and begins to greet them all along the way to ringside. When Gigi makes it down to the ring area, she climbs the steel ring steps to stand on the apron. Gigi stands on the apron and pulls herself through the middle rope; her fans cheer her on, loving the sight of her bending over in such a fashion. Gigi steps into the ring, then climbs the ropes in the nearest corner and she raises her arms in the air so the fans get a good look at the Championship she possesses. This drives the fans wild and they raise the rafters with their enthusiastic cheers. Gigi can’t help but to smile back at her adoring fans. After a few minutes, Gigi goes to her corner to wait for the match to start, and the camera’s flashes to fade.

Dawson: Giovanna Steward’s first match back since she was attacked a couple of months ago by the Dark Triad.

Sharper: And she is looking ready now more than ever for this match to start.

“Dynamite” blasts through the arena, one single blue spot light flies around the audience, lighting up random fans, as the music gets louder. When the spot finally settles on the middle of the stage, Madison Steward sprints onto the out to the awaiting crowd. Madison throws her arms in the air getting a small pop from the crowd. She hops back and forth on the balls of her toes, showing the energy she possesses. She also flashes the multitude her award winning smile as she exhibits her excitement and it shows as she waves wildly to the crowd. The spot light stays trained on Madison as she start her walk down the ramp. Madison dressed in her ring gear with her own version of the Team Desire sleeveless jacket. As she reaches ringside, Madison runs at the ring apron and jumps on it and climbs the corner and throws her arms into the air trying getting the crowd to go nuts with cheers. Maddy climbs down off the ropes and enters the ring where she heads Gigi’s side and greets her with a hug as the two wait for their partner.

Dawson: Well so far everything looks great between Gigi and Maddy.

Knots: They are Stewards, Dawson. They know how to put on a show for the fans.

"Better Version" by Shinedown begins to play leading to more cheers from the crowd. The camera focuses on the stage awaiting Ashley Cherry’s arrival, but she is a no show. The camera cut backstage to Ashley Cherry being detoured by Ravyn Taylor. Ashley Cherry heads in her direction only to be shoved from behind by Brittany Lohan and Syren and Ashley is pushed into the wall head first and falls to the ground. Syren drops down hitting Ashley in the back of the head with the Women’s Championship fpr extra measure. Brittany, Ravyn and Syren all turn to each other with a smile and they make their way to the stage. The camer back to the ring to Gigi Steward has she got pale and look of horror on her face over the recent events.

Dawson: The Dark Triad seem to have taken out Ashley Cherry and I think Giovanna is now realizing that she might be stuck in another 3 on 2 handicap match.

Knots: Maybe this time she’ll get the message and stay away.

The lights flicker around the arena for a moment before dimming as spotlights focus on the stage. “I Made It” by Kevin Rudolf feat. Cash Money Heroes hits the PA system as the screens flicker with the words “Dark Triad” repeatedly.

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I’ve known it all my life
I made it, I made it

I used to dream about
The life I’m living now
I know that there’s no doubt
I made it, I made it

As the music blasts around the arena and the spotlights remain focused on the stage the curtains part and Syren and Ravyn Taylor walk out, Ravyn wearing a pink fur cloak and hood while Syren wears her pink ring-jacket with the fur-lined hood. The two stand back to back as Syren strikes a pose and raises the SCW Women’s Championship above her head, singing along to the chorus of the song. As the two Dark Fantasy members pose on the stage the curtains part again and Brittany Lohan steps out on to the stage towering over her two partners. As the Dark Fantasy members stop their pose and head to the ring Lohan power walks down.

Dawson: Dark Fantasy looking to continue their domination of the Women’s Divison and The Stewards are wondering how they can survive this round against them.

Gigi stares at the Dark Triad as she is ready for a fight and Dark Triad freezes and waits at the bottom on the entrance way stalking their opponents. Maddy walks to the ropes daring them to get into the ring and Gigi quickly grabs her pulling her back. Gigi holds Maddy back as she tries pushing herself forward and the Dark Triad just laugh.

Knots: It’s starting already. Madison can’t follow Gigi’s instructions.

Maddy pushes Gigi away and she charges at Dark Triad and dives through the ropes and crashing into Ravyn and Brittany. Syren goes to grab Maddy off of her partners, but Gigi slides out of the ring and goes after the Women’s Champion.

Dawson: And things have just exploded early in this one.

Sharper: Gigi has been dying to get her hands on Syren for the pass month and now she has her.

Gigi and Syren got back and forth with punches and Maddy climbs off of Ravyn and Brittany. The referee is outside the ring trying to break up the brawl and get the action back into the ring. Ravyn grabs Maddy and holds her. Maddy struggles against Ravyn and Brittany grabs her too. The referee gets in between Gigi and Syren separating the two of them while Ravyn and Brittany hold Maddy by her feet and hands and throws her into the ring. Maddy rolls to the middle of the ring and picks herself up. Brittany slides in the ring and runs pass Maddy and bounces off the ropes. Maddy sees Brittany, but before she can react Ravyn sneaks into the ring and clips Maddy behind her knees and Maddy drops to the mat and Brittany dives dropping an elbow on Maddy’s chest.

Dawson: Brittany and Ravyn are completely dominating Madison as the referee finally gets this thing under control so the match can officially start.

The bell rings through the arena as Gigi and Syren get into their corners and Ravyn joins Syren and Brittany covers Maddy for a pin.

1…

2…

Madison kicks out right after the 2 count.

Sharper: The Dark Triad trying to end things quick.

Brittany on her knees looks down at Maddy as she rolls over and tries to crawl to her corner to get the tag into Gigi. Brittany reaches down and grabs Maddy by her hair. She picks Maddy up off the mat. Brittany grabs Maddy and lifts her up over her head like a bench press and Brittany walks around the ring showing her strength as the fans show their dislike towards her. Brittany steps forward dropping Maddy behind her as she screams falling to the mat below her.

Sharper: The Strength and Power of Brittany Lohan is just breath taking. She has to be the strongest diva in the SCW.

Brittany stares at the fans as they hail her with boos as Maddy lies on the mat face down. Brittany walks over and makes the tag to Syren. Syren runs in and rolls Maddy over and covers her for the pin.

1…

2…

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

Dawson: Dark Triad seems to be focusing on Madison this time around.

Knots: It is brilliant. Giovanna is already having doubts. If anything happens to Madison she is going to blame herself and then she’ll self destruct.

Maddy rolls over and tries to crawl to Gigi for the tag again. Syren grabs Maddy by her foot to keep her away from Gigi. Maddy continues to try and make it to Gigi as she picks herself up off the mat and hops on one foot as Syren holds onto her other one. Maddy turns to Syren continuing to hop and she suddenly builds up her momentum and bounds higher and hits a dropkick on Syren knocking her down. Maddy catches her break as she hurries to make the tag. Syren gets up and grabs Maddy’s foot again. Ravyn jumps into the ring and grabs Maddy’s other foot as they pull her back. Syren and Ravyn look at each other getting the same idea. They both lift Maddy’s legs into the air to smash her knees into the mat, but Maddy flips through it and lands on her feet surprising Syren and Ravyn. All three girls look at each other and then Maddy quickly jumps making the tag to Gigi as Syren and Ravyn can’t stop her in time.

Dawson: Madison makes the tag to Giovanna.

Gigi steps into the ring and quickly nails Syren with a punch. She turns and knocks Ravyn down with a punch and then turns and begins to pummel Syren on the mat. Ravyn gets back to her feet and the referee gets to her, but not before she can grabs Gigi by her hair and whip back onto the mat.

Sharper: Things are really getting bad for these Stewards.

Syren picks herself and she grabs Gigi and picks her up off the mat. Syren starts to trash talk Gigi and reminds her the last time she was in the ring. Syren chops Gigi across the chest and she stumbles back. Gigi suddenly explodes and she jumps at Syren clotheslining her down. Syren gets back up, but Gigi knocks her down again with a dropkick and then Gigi jumps on top of Syren with a cover.

1…

2…

Syren kicks out right after the two.

Dawson: Giovanna Steward has a lot fueling her tonight. Two months worth.

Syren rolls away from Gigi trying to get away, but Gigi stays on her and Syren kicks Gigi in the gut from the ground to back her away. Syren darts to her corner and makes th tag to Brittany Lohan.

Sharper: Syren making sure to keep her distance from Giovanna Steward.

Knots: The Dark Triad isn’t going to let Gigi get that close to Syren, ever.

Brittany comes into the ring and Gigi quickly jumps at her and throwing punch after punch trying to get the advantage on the much more powerful diva. Brittany pushes Gigi away and she falls back and rolls across the ring. Gigi stands back up and faces Brittany. Gigi makes the tag to Maddy and she comes into the ring. Gigi and Maddy look at each other and Gigi takes Maddy by the hand and then suddenly both charge at Brittany for a double clothesline knocking her down onto the mat.

Dawson: There is a nice surprise coming from Giovanna and Madison. Think Giovanna is accepting Madison’s help.

Knots: It’s not going to last.

The referee gets Gigi out of the ring as Maddy hits a leg drop on Brittany and goes for a quick cover.

1…

Brittany bench presses Maddy off of her to stop the count. Brittany gets back up and Maddy runs at her, but Brittany grabs her and scoops her up and slams her on the mat. Brittany steps on Maddy’s chest for an arrogant cover.

1…

2…

Madison throws her shoulder up off the mat and pushes Brittany’s foot away. Gigi starts to yell at Maddy who jumps to her feet in anger and she jumps at Brittany clubbing away.

Dawson: Brittany Lohan is just toying with Madison and getting her to lose her cool.

Brittany stumbles back with Maddy still attacking her and Brittany makes the tag to Ravyn. Ravyn comes in, but only for Maddy to change targets and stomps Ravyn into her own corner.

Knots: Wow, Madison Steward is running a mile a minute. When is she going to burn herself out?

Sharper: Very good question.

Syren reaches into the ring and pulls Maddy by her hair and whips her down onto the mat. Maddy rolls around on the mat and Ravyn picks herself up in the corner. The fans in the audience begin to stand and turn their attention to the stage as Ashley Cherry sprints to the ring. She takes off her title belt dropping it at ringside and she slides into the ring.

Dawson: Ashley Cherry has arrived and now we have a six diva tag match.

Sharper: I think this is the first time a Steward is thankful to see a Cherry.

Knots: Well at least Gigi is.

Ravyn charges at Ashley, but only to get knocked down with a punch. Syren comes in and the same happens to her and Brittany tries to save them, but Ashley again cleans house and knocks Brittany down. Ravyn jumps to her feet and tries to attack Ashley, but Ashley avoids the punch and grabs Ravyn’s arm and quickly crosses Ravyn’s arm cross her chest and hits the backstabber in the ring.

Dawson: Sealed with a Kiss. Ashley Cherry has hit the ring and completely cleaned house.

The referee gets to Ashley and tries to calm her down and get her out of the ring. Maddy quickly sees Ravyn down and covers her for the pin. The referee gets Ashley out of the ring and turns seeing the pin.

1…

2…

Dawson: Maddy did it! Maddy had pinned Ravyn!!

Ravyn gets her shoulder up just up just in the nick of time as the referee’s hand was coming down for the three.

Knots: No! Ravyn kicked out.

Maddy rolls over and stands up as she looks at Ravyn. Maddy starts to stalk Ravyn and waits for her to stand up. Maddy backs up into her corner, but she gets too close as Ashley reaches in and tags herself in.

Dawson: Ashley Cherry with the blind the tag.

Ashley comes in and walks pass Maddy and over to Ravyn grabbing her and lifts her up. Ashley starts to cross Ravyn’s arm over her chest, but Syren and Brittany step into the ring and attack Ashley making sure that doesn’t happen again. Gigi jumps into the ring and runs and jumps at Syren. Syren falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring as Gigi gives chase. Brittany grabs Ashley and pulls her in for a power bomb, but Maddy leaps over Brittany and grabs Brittany from behind rolling her up. The referee gets in between Maddy and Brittany as Ashley turns to Ravyn who jumps at her with her knees up and grabs Ashley dropping down hitting a face breaker.

Knots: Beautiful. Evolutionary Synthesis.

Ashley bounces off Ravyn’s knees and flies back hitting the mat. The ref gets Maddy out of the ring and turns to see Ravyn covering Ashley and he slides into position.

1…

2…

3!!!

Ravyn rolls out of the ring with Brittany Lohan who meet with Syren at the bottom of the entrance way. The referee walks around and hands Syren and Ravyn their championship belts.

Dawson: Dark Triad continuing their dominating ways in the SCW.

Sharper: But this time Gigi was left standing and she is currently burning a hole through Syren.

The Dark Triad makes their exit, but Brittany Lohan’s eye is caught on Ashley Cherry’s title belt at ringside and she scoops up off the mat.

Knots: Oh check out that sight, Jim and Adam. They are the golden girls of the SCW.

Syren, Ravyn and Brittany make it to the top of the stage as the turn and raise titles into the air to pose for the crowd as Gigi and Maddy stare from ringside and the referee checks on Ashley in the ring.

The scene cuts backstage as we see CHBK walking through the backstage area. The crowd cheers upon seeing him as he continues down the hallway.

Sharper: “And there you see the SCW Commissioner. The Canadian Heartbreak Kid. He’s on his way to the ring and I’ll be interested in hearing what he has to say.”

Knots: “Does he have some answers? I’d love some answers!”

CHBK continues to walk as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the crowd buzzes for a moment before “This is How a Heart Breaks” plays throughout the arena. The crowd cheers as the cameras focus on the curtain and we see CHBK walk out from the back. He looks around and smirks as the crowd continues to cheers. He walks down the rampway and walks over to the steel steps. He then walks along the apron and enters into the ring.

Sharper: “The SCW Commissioner seemingly having most of the respect of certain individuals including Jason Zero. Last week, surprisingly, the only person Jason Zero would discuss that K K link was with CHBK.”

Dawson: “Who knows what Jason Zero is thinking, but CHBK, no doubt has to enjoy the fact that he really can use his experience here.”

CHBK walks around the ring before walking over to the ring announcer, Jason Phillips and being handed a microphone. He walks around the ring and then walks over to the middle of the ring and looks out at the crowd. He slowly brings the microphone to his mouth as the music fades out.

CHBK: “Hello everyone and last Breakdown, a lot of people were wondering about the conversation that I had with one Jason Zero, who has seemingly had the spotlight of intrigue thrust upon him.”

The crowd roars a bit as CHBK pauses.

Dawson: “That may be a bit of an understatement.”

CHBK: “Well with his actions at Retribution and then his desire to keep leading the world on last Breakdown, it seems that I am the only person he’s willing to truly discuss options with. But given that he’s going to play games and I’m not in the mood for them, I’m going to provide some of the answers that he, for whatever reason, doesn’t want us to know.”

The crowd cheers as CHBK starts to pace back and forth a bit. He then shakes his head before starting.

CHBK: “See, what Jason Zero doesn’t want us to know....or at least, doesn’t want to tell us, is that he is K K. What he also doesn’t care for us to know is that he and I have been discussing matters for the last two months. I was hoping that Sasha would figure this out before Jason went and decided to take it upon himself to play the role of powerholder, but he did before she did. And well....we find ourselves here.”

CHBK pauses as the crowd starts to buzz.

CHBK: “You’re probably wondering what I mean. Well allow me to take you down memory lane. See, it was on this very program several years ago....nearly five years ago. Rise to Greatness 2005. A younger Jason Zero, then known as Faust, defeated Drachewych for the ownership of the company. Then this occurred....”

CHBK turns and looks up at the big screen.

“August 3, 2005.”

The scene opens up as we see Faust standing in the middle of the ring, wearing a crown and smirking. Mr. Drachewych walks out from the back.

Faust: “Well Oleksa….nice of you to join us. Too bad that you’re going to be kicked out by security now.”

Drachewych just smiles as Faust’s four guards start to walk up the rampway.

Drachewych: “Well, the four guys you got here better slow down. They don’t want to be getting lawsuits for attacking their owner.”

The crowd suddenly is hushed and everyone is unsure what to think.

Faust: “What the hell are you talking about? I beat you at Rise to Greatness and I am the owner because of that.”

We fast forward a bit as the voice of Drachewych comes over the visual of Drachewych looking down at the ring.

Drachewych: “True. You did win the ownership. But Faust, in your celebration and planning to start your empire, you forgot the one loophole that I always knew about…And what you forgot to do was properly renegotiate your own contract. It says that I have the right to fire you if he deems you to be a threat to his company. And at the bottom, my name is the one signed over SCW Chairman and Owner.”

Faust looks at the former SCW owner with dire hatred as the voiceover of their encounter continues.

Drachewych: “Now Faust, what this means is that you’re fired!”

Faust: “You may like to think you can, but I’m the owner. All that does is negate my contract. I’m still the owner.”

Drachewych: “True…but again, not for long. Remember Seth Kross. He’s technically still fifty percent owner. However, providing he is physically capable to do so. And the board of directors, in which I am the chairman of, has elected myself as his replacement. Right after that, I forced a vote to remove you as the executive head of the company and put me back in….”

CHBK: “Stop it right there….”

The tape stops with Drachewych smirking as Faust just throws his arms in the air, stopping in midmotion.

CHBK: “Now, wait. You may all be going….Jason Zero, then Faust, was a moron. Well, he was younger. He was a bit more arrogant. But he was not stupid. See what Zero did after that point was while Drachewych managed to finagle things to run this company as he saw fit until I showed up to snatch that from him and pass it on to his daughter last Rise to Greatness….Zero kept control of those shares and installed someone else to act in his interests. A K K…or Kevin Khan. Now, for those of you who have followed Jason’s career. You’ll remember the names of Kevin Mask….and Shere Khan. Two of his past “masks” if you will. And given that I’ve been with Zero every step of the way…I caught on. And well, again….the explains exactly how Zero got that referee’s shirt. This explains how he could actually call the finish of the match. And this explains why he suddenly has some power. He was waiting to strike.”

Sharper: “Oh my God. Zero’s had this planned for years!”

Dawson: “Five years almost.”

CHBK: “But now…that all of those questions have been answered….there’s a bigger question. What now? What now Jason? That’s the only question you have not been okay answering to me. And I’m sick of waiting. So now, stop hiding. Stop deflecting. Jason….what do you want?”

CHBK turns to the entrance way. He just looks at the curtains before a slow clap can be heard. The crowd cheers as we then see Jason Zero emerge from the back, microphone in his hand. He continues to clap as he starts to make his way down the rampway and about halfway to the ring, he starts to speak.

Zero: “Congratulations Alex. You managed to answer every question and you managed to solve the mystery. Don’t worry. I’m not angry about you telling the world how I got to the position I am now. In fact, the way you put it, it sounded really good. I hear Hollywood is already planning a film. And plus, I wouldn’t expect anyone else to figure it out so quickly. I’m just shocked it took five years before I’d have to take advantage of it….and Drachewych forgot about it.”

Zero hops onto the apron and then steps into the ring. He looks over at CHBK and CHBK just looks at him.

CHBK: “Good to know that you’re happy about that. But Jason…I need my question answered. You and I both know that you don’t have much of a stake anymore. Enough to have a board member to keep hold of your interests, but nothing else. So what gives?”

Zero just smirks.

Zero: “No Alex. While I was willing to talk to you to find out what you know….you’re no longer special there since you’ve told the world. And my request…my reasoning, I’ll admit is simple. But I’m not here to bargain with you. I’m here to bargain with Sasha. And only Sasha.”

Sharper: “Bargain?”

Zero turns to the curtain.

CHBK: “You can speak to me.”

Zero: “Sorry Alex…you’re not high enough on the food chain.”

Zero smirks as CHBK just shakes his head, laughing off that comment. Finally, after a few moments, we see Sasha Drachewych walk out from the back. The crowd roars a bit as Jason Zero smiles. Sasha then starts to make her way down to the ring. She walks over to the steel steps and walks up them before Zero actually holds the ropes open and then steps into the ring. Sasha then walks over to CHBK and CHBK just hands her the microphone before stepping back and leaning on the ropes behind him. Sasha just glances at CHBK before turning to Jason, only for him to start to talk.

Zero: “How nice of you to join me? This shant be too difficult. My request is quite simple. As our Commissioner has pointed out, my balance of power is relative to yours, nothing. It’s more a number. But it’s a number that can be powerful.”

Sasha: “Jason…just spill it.”

Zero smirks.

Zero: “See, I’ve had these shares from that fateful match years ago. Your father was able to quickly retake control and that was my stupidity. He outdid me. Something he couldn’t four years later against his own flesh and blood and his former best friend. But that moment crystallized in my head as something I need to achieve vindication. And I knew my power was limited. Any time I wanted to use it…I couldn’t. Things were too stable. But now….with you and your father playing games….the value of my shares, while nothing to you….to your father….well…..”

Sasha just glares at Jason. CHBK just glares at Jason over Sasha’s shoulder.

Zero: “And given that your father has been so focused with Infection, I realized that if I wanted to get what I wanted and what I deserved, I needed to act in the way I did. Knock some sense into Mr. D. Knock Greg Cherry out of the title picture….and then reveal all but one of my cards.”

Sasha: “You want a World Championship shot.”

Zero smiles.

Zero: “I see CHBK has taught you well. That is correct. I want a shot at Jake Starr. I want to see how good he is. But I want to prove how good I am. And I’ll tell you what I’m even willing to do. To whomever can guarantee that title shot….my shares are theirs. I will exchange them for that opportunity.”

Sasha: “So you’re blackmailing us for a title shot?”

Zero: “Oh no….I’m giving an opportunity. Because to be honest, I want to face Jake Starr more than anything right now. No one has been as hot as he has been. And I want to see how good he is. And really you could give me the chance….maybe CHBK over there may want to. It’s the same as going to you. But then there is your father. And as much as I hate the man, I can make him a deal that gives me what I want. The only difference is unlike Greg, if I make a deal with him, I give him something in return….and I won’t need an army to put Jake down.”

The crowd actually boos a bit.

Zero: “So Sasha…you’ve got first bargaining rights. What do you say?”

Sasha turns and glances back at CHBK before turning around and looks at Jason.

Sasha: “Jason….allow me to consider it. You’ll have your answer by the end of tonight.”

Zero just smirks and Sasha then turns as CHBK walks forward and looks at Jason. CHBK just shakes his head before CHBK walks forward and starts to go to the ropes. He grabs the ropes as Sasha goes to step through, but Zero suddenly grabs CHBK and spins him around and throws him over the top rope and to the floor. Sasha turns and Zero turns and grabs her and snaps her down with the Chaos Theory. The crowd ohs and Zero then rolls over and looks down, smiling as CHBK gets up and rolls back into the ring. Zero rolls out of the ring and looks up at the ring. The crowd boos Zero as Zero just smirks.

Zero: “I’ll be waiting!”

Zero yells out, just loud enough for the cameras to hear it as the crowd is in shock.

Sharper: “What the hell?! Jason Zero just planted Sasha Drachewych. For what?”

Knots: “Is he with Mr. Drachewych? Is he with her father?”

Dawson: “Listen to this crowd. Half are booing. Half don’t know what to think. I don’t think CHBK knows what to think.”

Sharper: “He asked for her to consider it. She said she would, but then he drove her down with the Chaos Theory!”

Zero continues to the back before spinning around and suddenly we see Damian Angel appear from the back. Zero just stops and smirks as Damian Angel slowly starts to make his way down the rampway, Autumn Daniels right next to him. Zero just steps off the rampway and then walks along the side before walking around. Damian Angel just stops and watches him walk off. Officials and the trainers run down from the back and run around Damian as CHBK continues to check on Sasha Drachewych, who remains out of it in the ring. After a few moments, the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene reopens at Breakdown as we see a still from before the break come up.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Folks. We’re in shock with what we just saw. Jason Zero just attacked Sasha Drachewych.”

Dawson: “This coming after Zero stating that he holds significant shares in the company and was going to give them to the person who would vow them a title shot.”

Zero: “So Sasha…you’ve got first bargaining rights. What do you say?”

Sasha turns and glances back at CHBK before turning around and looks at Jason.

Sasha: “Jason….allow me to consider it. You’ll have your answer by the end of tonight.”

Knots: “BAM! And out.”

Sharper: “Unbelievable. Jason Zero just lost all respect from me. The man is a former seven time World Champion. Why does he need to play games like this?”

Dawson: “Unless, he wants to get it immediately. We’ve got Tactical Warfare, Taking Hold of the Flame, Rise to Greatness all coming up. He may be looking at this as his way to get there and have that huge match before Rise to Greatness. I don’t know.”

The scene cuts to the trainer’s office. We see Sasha Drachewych laying down on a gurney in the trainer’s room with one of the trainers checking on her with the EMTs right next to him. CHBK just stands in the doorway just shaking his head.

Trainer: “Sasha! Sasha!”

EMT: “She’s unconscious. May have a concussion.”

CHBK just continues to shake his head before we then see Damian Angel standing in the doorway next to him. CHBK turns and glares at Damian.

Damian: “So….seems like everything is under control, eh?”

CHBK: “Look. I don’t care what you had with Sasha. Infection is gone. You can stop pretending to care.”

Damian: “Pretend….that’s a bit strong. Maybe I did care what happened to her.”

CHBK: “Why do I have problems with that?”

Damian just chuckles.

Damian: “Well either way, until I hear anything out of her mouth, I’m here to help. And you have to deal with it. But whatever…seems like you have everything under control here. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on things.”

Damian turns and walks off as CHBK just continues to look at Sasha as we go to ringside.

Sharper: “Unbelievable. This has already been such an insane night.”

Dawson: “And that interaction between CHBK and Damian Angel. Damian even came out to confront Jason Zero. This is getting odd.”

Knots: “And we have more questions. I wanted questions answered damn it! What the hell is Zero doing?!”

Bryant the Impaler vs. Sketch Retro

In the ring, we see newcomer Bryant the Impaler pacing back and forth in the ring as the giant awaits his opponent.

Dawson: “Meanwhile in the ring, we have newcomer Bryant the Impaler and look at the size of him.”

Sharper: “He’s a large man and he’s taking on one of the smallest people on the roster. Sketch Retro has his hands full with this one.”

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

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

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

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

'Path to Decay' 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 before sliding into the ring. He hopes to the first turnbuckle as the fans yell in mixed applause. He hops to the turnbuckle and pulls out a watergun filled with colored liquids of all colors. He shoots them at the audience. He then does a backflip landing on his feet and crouching down, waiting for his opponent, backward crawling to one of the turnbuckles.

Sharper: “Master Roboto, yes, that is his name, wants to establish Sketch Retro as a threat in the Underground Division. Well, I guarantee that won’t play to his strengths, but neither will this.”

Knots: “You know. I think I’m going to sit back and enjoy this. This giant is going to take Retro apart. Thank God for that!”

The bell sounds and Retro pulls himself up to his feet before looking at Bryant who just glares at his much smaller opponent. Retro then gets up and runs at Bryant, but Bryant just shoulders him down. Retro hits the mat and rolls over before looking up. Bryant then lunges at him and Retro quickly rolls out of the ring and to the floor. Bryant follows him, and reaches through to grab him, but Retro moves away a bit before sliding back in. Bryant turns and Retro gets up only for Bryant to drill him in the jaw, knocking him back. The crowd ohs. Retro rolls over and crawls towards the ropes. Bryant then grabs Retro and slowly lifts him up.

Sharper: “Oh boy. This is not good for Sketch Retro!”

Dawson: “Bryant is just drilling him with high-impact blows and with the weight behind them, they are doing damage.”

Bryant clubs Retro hard in the back and Retro stumbles around the ring before falling to his knees and arching his back. He then pulls himself up and Bryant walks over and grabs Retro and drags him up before headbutting him in the back. Retro staggers forward and falls to the ropes. Bryant then moves over and grabs Retro and goes to whip him into the ropes. Retro bounces off the ropes and jumps up for a crossbody, but Bryant catches him. Retro quickly manages to spin out and attempts an arm drag, but Bryant just smirks, toying with Retro before lifting him up with one arm and Retro ends up on his shoulders. He then rolls down Bryant’s back and bounces off the ropes behind Bryant. Bryant turns around and Retro dropkicks the leg of Bryant. He falls to his knee. Retro gets up and runs back into the ropes. Bryant gets up and Retro dropkicks him in the knee again.

Knots: “Well I’ll be damned. He’s doing something.”

Sharper: “Going after that knee. Trying to take the big man down.”

Dawson: “And at the same time, giving him a good advantage in terms of mobility. As if he didn’t already have one with his speed.”

Bryant winces and Retro gets up and kicks Bryant in the back of the head. The crowd ohs and Bryant falls forward. Retro quickly rolls him over and goes for the pin.

Bryant powers out and Retro rolls off. He gets up and Bryant rolls over and gets to his feet. Retro quickly kicks him in the thigh and then in the ribs, but Bryant pushes him back and into the corner. Bryant then turns and runs at Retro, but Retro moves out of the way and through the ropes. Bryant staggers back out of the corner and Retro uses the ropes and hits a swinging kick to the head. Bryant stumbles back more and Retro exits to the apron before springboarding to the top rope and then diving forward and grabbing Bryant by the head and hitting a tornado DDT. Bryant ends up on his back and Retro goes for the pin.

Bryant kicks out. He then starts to get up again and Retro gets up.

Sharper: “That speed being a big problem for the newcomer, Bryant the Impaler.”

Knots: “He can’t even catch the guy. He’s running around and striking whenever he can.”

Bryant rolls over and Retro turns and kicks him in the knees. Bryant winces and stumbles back. Retro then grabs him and attempts to whip him, but Bryant spins through and then pulls him into him only to clothesline him down. Retro rolls over and starts to get up and Bryant kicks him in the ribs. He then places his head between his legs. He hoists Retro up before attempting a powerbomb, but Retro counters with the Retrograde! The crowd ohs and Bryant rolls over and hooks the leg as best as he can.

The crowd roars and Sketch Retro rolls off of Bryant and looks over at Roboto who applauds him. Retro slowly gets up and the referee raises his arm. Roboto then motions for him to come to him and Retro walks over and exits the ring. Roboto then turns and hoists his arm over his head. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Retro shows a smile.

Sharper: “How about that? A huge, literally, challenge and Sketch Retro gets through it.”

Dawson: “And maybe Roboto has something there with Retro. Who knows? We will find out.”

Retro continues to smile as Bryant stirs in the ring. Roboto then spins Retro around and orders him to the back as we slowly go backstage as well.

The scene opens backstage and we see Jessica Winters standing in front of the office of Sasha Drachewych and CHBK.

Jessica: “Ladies and Gentlemen, by my understanding, Sasha Drachewych is still being checked on by the medical staff here at the arena. We were to be covering the other members of that huge Tactical Warfare match as they would be announced throughout the evening, but I think for reasons that we can see, this may not be-“

Jessica turns and looks away before then turning and we see CHBK come into view.

Jessica: “CHBK…how’s Sasha?”

CHBK: “She’ll be fine. She’s still recovering. And with your next question, Jason Zero…we’ll deal with that and no, I don’t know why.”

CHBK looks away for a moment. He then turns to Jessica.

CHBK: “And as for the Tactical Warfare match…the show must go on.”

CHBK then steps into the office and walks inside. Jessica Winters just stands back a bit as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Ashley Cherry walking down the hallway before yelling out and kicking at one of the doors in the hallway. She then kicks it again.

Ashley: “Come on you three! You want to take what’s mine!”

Ashley kicks the door again as the crowd roars.

Knots: “Whoa! She’s lost it!”

Sharper: “Ashley Cherry backstage. She’s losing it as she’s going right for the locker room of what I got to assume is Dark Triad!”

The cameraman turns as several officials show up and push Ashley back. Ashley manages to fight through and the door to the locker room opens before suddenly, Ashley is cracked in the head with her SCW Women’s Championship. We then see Brittany Lohan step forward. The crowd boos.

Lohan: “God you can be annoying.”

Ashley rolls over slowly as the officials step in between her and Brittany. Syren and Ravyn can be seen laughing in the background.

Lohan: “And Ashley…we don’t like imposters. So this title, it’s going to stay with the actual SCW Women’s Champion. You have a problem with it. Heh….Deal with it.”

Brittany then steps back as Ashley starts to stir. The Dark Triad door closes as the officials check on Ashley and we go back to ringside.

Sharper: “Ashley Cherry trying to get her title back-“

Knots: “No. She was trying to get the belt she had to give back a year ago and didn’t. Technically, it’s Syren’s!”

Sharper: “Well that is debatable, given that a new belt was crafted. It’s the symbolic value of that title to Ashley.”

Shilo Valiant vs. Rachel Foxx

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

The fans yells only grow louder as from seeming below the ground, Shilo shoots out of the ground as fireworks shoot out around him, the neon lights causing his white face and colored hair to glow in eerie colors. The SCW Tag Team Championship belt sits on his shoulder. Landing on the ground, Shilo spins around on the spot, marveling at the massive audience and shouting back at them. The word "Necro" is heard again, which Shilo returns by shouting the same word. Making his way down the ramp (or through the audience), 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.

Making his way to the audience, Shilo is approached by fans who hand him money (or avors from women) 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. Returning to the match, 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.

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant, since Retribution, has not been doing so well. Including Retribution actually.”

Dawson: “And he goes from losing the US Championship to, we know now, at Tactical Warfare, he and his partner, Masquerade, will defend their Tag Team Championships against Liberation.”

Sharper: “But tonight, he has to deal with the Suicide Queen and I can guarantee this. She’s not going to be in a good mood.”

The lights in the arena go completely dark as the eerily quite intro of "L1FEl!KE" by Karnivool begins playing over the loud speakers. As the intro echos through the arena, lightning strikes on the jumbo-tron illuminate a female silhouette. The silhouette fades, and the words "THE SUICIDE QUEEN" appear in jagged letters, and then fade. More lightning strikes illuminate a picture of Rachel's eyes, and then fade into the words "RACHEL FOXX". As the intro reaches its climax, we hear a sadistic female laugh. The intro ends and loud guitars begin blaring over the speakers as blue pyros shoot up in front of the entrance. After a few moments, Rachel Foxx walks out the wall of blue sparks. Rachel is wearing a black Affliction shirt that has been cut into a half-shirt and hangs off one shoulder, a black skirt with a white studded belt, black fishnet stockings and knee high leather boots. A sledgehammer is in her hand and she smirks, before starting to laugh.

Sharper: “Oh no.”

Knots: “Well, she’s not hammered, but Shilo may be soon enough!”

The sparks fade and the house lights return, casting an eerie blue glow over the entire arena. Rachel takes a deep breath, plasters an evil grin on her lips, and begins sauntering down the ramp, dragging the sledgehammer behind her. The crowd boos but Rachel ignore them as she slowly swaggers down the ramp. She then lifts the sledgehammer up before turning and running into the ring. She slides in and then swings the hammer out, as Shilo steps back. The crowd boos and Rachel gets up, still brandishing the hammer.

Sharper: “Rachel nearly taking out the legs of the former US Champion.”

Dawson: “And this match may not turn into much of a match. It may just be a slaughter.”

Sharper: “The referee needs to get that hammer out of her hands. It’s that simple.”

Knots: “You going to stop her. I doubt the referee will.”

Sharper: “It’s his job.”

Shilo just watches Rachel as she continues to hold the hammer. The referee calls for the bell before turning and stepping in front of her. He then demands the hammer, but Rachel pushes him away. He falls back and Rachel yells out before turning and running at Shilo and swinging at him. Shilo ducks and spins around. He then backs away across the ring and Rachel runs over forward again and attempts another swinging blow. Shilo moves out of the way and Rachel hits the canvas. She then turns and lifts the hammer up again. The referee backs away as well as Shilo moves back to another corner.

Knots: “This is not the match we thought we’d see, but still, this is entertaining. Look at Shilo run!”

Dawson: “Shilo desperately trying to avoid getting hit by that sledgehammer. Rachel’s using this for target practice!”

Knots: “And Shilo’s the moving target.”

Sharper: “And this is just because she’s frustrated. Give me a break! This is insane!”

Rachel turns and drags the hammer over. She then turns and swings, but lets go and Shilo dives out of the way as the sledgehammer head cracks against the ringpost. It falls back down and Shilo runs over and clubs Rachel in the back of the head, causing her to fall face first. Shilo then grabs her by the head before springboarding to the middle turnbuckle and backflipping back and hitting the Boulevard of Broken Dreams! The crowd cheers and Shilo quickly goes for the pin, hooking both legs.

Rachel rolls over right after the three, but Shilo rolls off and then slides out of the ring. He just looks in the ring and shakes his head as the referee also exits as well. Rachel slowly stirs.

Sharper: “Well how about that. Shilo seeing the opening and not wasting time. Just like that, Rachel takes another loss!”

Knots: “That’s not going to help her frustration either. Since losing the Underground Championship, she’s been nuts. Just think about this now!”

Shilo backs away before the referee runs over and grabs his title. Shilo backs away from the ring as the referee then runs over and hands Shilo Valiant the Tag Team Championship belt. Shilo holds it over his head before the referee holds his arm up. Rachel rolls over and stirs, holding her head and neck in pain.

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant ending his short winless streak with a win here.”

Dawson: “Look out. Rachel’s starting to get back up.”

Rachel turns to her knees and looks over and looks at Shilo before letting out an angry yell. She then drops down to the mat and smacks it in anger before kneeling back up and glaring at Shilo and then the referee. Shilo just smirks before turning around and starting to make his way to the back.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see a computer generated steel cage appear on the screen before spinning around, showing the 3-D rendering on all sides.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and we’re about to find who will be the first person to join both Thorn and Jake Starr in the Tactical Warfare match.”

It then spins around before we see the Tactical Warfare logo on the roof of the cage. It then suddenly flashes to white before slowly morphing into an image of the face of Justin Davis. The crowd starts to boo.

Knots: “Yes! The other Star of Tomorrow will get his chance!”

Dawson: “How about that? Justin Davis getting a second chance after the End of the Year Special a few months ago.”

Mike Harrison vs. Andrew Samuel Pugh

"Numb Encore" hits the PA system as Andrew Samuel Pugh walks out, with his vest, and points to the fans. He throws his hands up, smiling. He then walks down the aisle, pointing and waving to some of the crowd members and keeps saying "thank you" to his fans as the crowd gives him a mixed reaction. He slides in the ring. He goes to the middle of the ring, goes close to the ropes, and puts his hands together and holding them up high (Embassy hand signal from ROH), which is a symbol saying that he is the Crown Jewel of Pro Wrestling.

Knots: It looks like we get our biweekly dose of loserville now as ASP has hit the ring. Too bad the ring doesn’t hit him back!

Sharper: Huh?

Jason Phillips announces the arrival of Andrew Samuel Pugh to the ring.

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Already in the ring from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds…Andrew Samuel Pugh….AAAAASP!!!!

Andrew puts his arms up into the air again, once again receiving the same mixed reaction.

Dawson: Anyways…ASP is looking to improve his record in SCW here tonight.

Knots: It’s amazing that he actually has WINS on his record!

Dawson: I doubt that one will occur tonight as he takes on a name that’s known around the wrestling business…Mike Harrison.

Knots: The guy doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. I saw him backstage earlier. Too focused for my taste. He shouldn’t need to focus on ASP. ASP is NOTHING!

Sharper: While that may very well be true, he’s doing the right thing Jonathan. He’s here in SCW and he’s probably just looking to make an impact.

Knots: I’m not going to consider this match “making an impact”.

As the commentators babble, "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor is heard around the arena as it falls on complete darkness. Two lime green lasers stream down from the roof and start to aimlessly circle around the entrance area. When the song kicks in fully we hear a loud bang and two bright white fireworks explode on either side of the entrance way. On that cue Mike Harrison appears on the stage area, smiling and looking at the fans for a second. He then begins to casually make his way down to the ring by guide of a single spotlight, pumping up the crowd as he goes.

Phillips: And his opponent, currently from Malibu, California, weighing in at 228 pounds…Mike Harrison!!!

When Mike gets to the end of the ramp he looks at the ring, and then to either side of him cracks another smile and slides under the bottom rope. He then walks to the centre of the ring, and kneels down. He leans back slightly and thrusts his arms into the air, as he does this four bright white 'Kane style' flares fire out of each ring post. As they settle Mike Harrison rises back to his feet, not once looking at ASP. When Mike turns back around he finally sees his opponent as the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway.

ASP begins to psyche himself up for the battle while Mike just casually waits, allowing the surroundings to go to ASP’s head. Pugh, now being ready, charges Harrison, but Harrison sidesteps him. ASP turns back around and goes to clothesline Harrison down, but again another sidestep.

Dawson: He’s frustrating the “Alpha Dog” very early in this.

Knots: Yawn, I’d rather see the main event talent. Not crap such as this…

Andrew shakes his head and looks at Mike with a stupefied look on his face. Harrison just grins and looks very composed despite this being his first match in a long while. ASP charges him again like a raging bull, but Mike is one step ahead, nailing a dropkick right to the cranium of ASP, sending him back to where he came from. ASP staggers around and Mike goes for a drive-by, taking ASP’s head and planting it into the canvas. Mike stands up and claps a few times before picking up ASP and hitting a German suplex. He keeps himself clasped to ASP and delivers a second German and right into a third before finally releasing. ASP finds himself in a bad way and Mike still seems to be as fresh as a cucumber.

Dawson: I don’t think it’s going to take long for Harrison to win this match…

Knots: You don’t say…

Mike goes to grab the leftovers of ASP, but ASP suddenly pulls Mike down to the mat with him, rolling him up into a small package, for a surprising first attempt at a fall of the match.

1!

2!

Mike kicks out, not crying over the spilled milk, he goes to regain the advantage that he’s had ever since the bell rung. He gets it in the form of a tomahawk chop to the head of Pugh. Pugh feels for his head but Mike brings him up to his feet and Irish whips him into one of the far corners. Harrison follows through and pancakes ASP into the corner before letting go with some knife-edge chops right to Andrew’s chest. After letting go a handful, he lands a fist right to the gut of ASP. The referee backs Mike out of the corner and Mike obliges, holding his hands up as the referee checks on his opponent. The referee gives clearance and Mike pulls Andrew out of the corner, but not in such a nice way. He delivers a hip toss which plants ASP back to the canvas again.

Knots: This is way too easy of an opponent for him…

Sharper: Oh he’ll get better ones. He just needs to focus now on putting ASP away.

Mike hooks up ASP and delivers a fisherman suplex and bridges into a pin. ASP tries to kick out for dear life.

1!

2!

Thr-

ASP barely is able to kick out, expending a good deal of energy as Mike gets thrown a couple of feet. ASP moves over to Mike and goes to lock in a Cogiuna Clutch. However he can’t lock it in all the way. ASP demands the referee check to see if Mike is going to tap, however Mike shakes his head “no”. Mike instead powers his way out and pays no matter to the hold he just got out of as he quickly ascends to the top of the closest turnbuckle. Wasting no time he comes off, delivering a frog splash with emphasis, right into another cover on a dazed and getting irate Andrew Samuel Pugh.

Dawson: That’s probably it right there!

Knots: No need to get excited Jim…really now…

The referee counts the fall as Harrison hooks the leg.

1!

2!

But ASP again kicks out before the referee’s hand can come down for 3.

Sharper: At this point several guys on this roster would be getting frustrated, but not Mike Harrison. He’s remaining focused.

Knots: If only he can do that against better competition though. He should have already won this match. Not still be battling…

No sooner does Jonathan finish saying that, Mike gets up from the previously failed pinfall attempt, dusts himself off and waits for ASP to get part way to his feet. ASP does and goes to lunge his leg back to go for a low blow to Harrison but Harrison sees what ASP is thinking and takes ASP’s leg out from under him, causing Andrew to smack the canvas one more time. Mike smiles at the crowd as he puts his hands into the air, singling that he’s about to attempt his finisher. Mike lifts up ASP and doesn’t stall for time, immediately drilling ASP with the Light Out.

Dawson: WOW! We haven’t seen a gogoplata in a while!

Knots: That’s the ONLY thing that Harrison brings to the table…

Sharper: It looks like in this case, it’s more than enough…

Harrison pins ASP as the referee counts.

1!

2!

3!!!

Mike Harrison stands up and the referee declares him the victor as Jason Phillips makes the official announcement.

Phillips: Here is your winner of the match…Miiike Harrisooon!!!

Mike looks down at Andrew who is beginning to get to his feet. Pugh just shakes his head, mad at himself as he slides out of the ring, not even looking at the fans in attendance. He simply makes his way to the back as “Remember The Name” by Fort Minor plays on. Harrison after a few more moments takes his leave as the scene fades to the backstage area.

The scene cuts backstage and we see the SCW Underground Champion, Fred Debonair standing next to Marisa Condolesa at the SCW interview area. The crowd cheers a bit upon seeing him.

Condolesa: “I am here with the SCW Underground Champion, Fred Debonair, and it seems that you have made yourself the focal point of a couple of people, both for your gold, but while one has won the opportunity to face you. The other just holds a victory over you and now wants you gold.”

Debonair: “Well that would seem to be the case. While David Helms wants his chance to get what he cares about….I doubt Lucas Knight gives a damn about the Underground Championship. He just wants gold and he’s probably a bit sad he didn’t somehow try to make my accepted challenge for my title. Well, now, he’s challenging me to a match. For my title. And anyone can see my little problem….”

Debonair cocks his head a bit before turning to Marisa.

Debonair: “All I can say….I take on all comers.”

Debonair then walks off as Condolesa turns to the camera.

Condolesa: “Well in a few moments, Debonair will face Adam Riddick here on Breakdown. But I don’t think that resolved the Underground Championship situation at all. Debonair says bring it on. We’ll see what happens. Breakdown returns after this….”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Gable Winchester walking through the backstage area. The crowd gives a mixed reaction upon seeing him as he walks over to the coffeemaker in the catering area before grabbing a cup. He turns and places the cup under the coffee dispenser only for someone else to start to pour it. Gable looks up and we see Ravyn Taylor pushing down on the dispenser.

Gable: “Thank you.”

Ravyn: “Think nothing of it.”

Ravyn allows the cup to fill up before letting go and Gable grabs the cup and brings it up to his face only for Ravyn to grab the cup and take a sip of it.

Gable: “What do you want Ravyn?”

Ravyn: “Well Gable….I heard a story that when you signed your full-term contract…you were told that you had to prove yourself.”

Gable: “Yes. CHBK told me that.”

Ravyn: “I think you’ve been more than impressive. Ever wonder what it takes to impress that man. I mean, Syren and I are undefeated. You’ve only really lost once. And yet, neither of us are getting our opportunities.”

Gable just smirks. Ravyn then turns and steps forward to Gable, taking another sip of the coffee.

Ravyn: “How do you feel about making a statement about that together?”

Ravyn smiles as Gable steps back.

Gable: “Ravyn….any other time, I’d be happy to. But right now, I’ve got a girl in my life…and she’s got a bit more experience, if you know what I mean.”

Ravyn just glares at Gable as Gable walks off. Ravyn turns around in disbelief.

Ravyn: “Your loss…”

Ravyn then turns and walks off as we go back to ringside.

Dawson: “Ravyn seemingly looking for some backup in order to prove herself and Syren in the Tag Team Championship hunt.”

Knots: “Who does Gable have that rivals Ravyn? I’d do ANYTHING to help her!”

Sharper: “I don’t understand how Gable may help Dark Triad, but I’m also a bit wondering what Gable is thinking too. He’s got someone? Who?”

Fred Debonair vs. Adam Riddick

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I am."

Sharper: “The angry Rocker, Adam Riddick. And well, where is Kassie Khane?”

Dawson: “Good question. Last Breakdown, we saw them arguing backstage after Khane actually prevented Adam from winning.”

Knots: “Maybe he’s just doing a smart thing. Getting rid of her. Just a distraction.”

Sharper: “Maybe. Who knows?”

The lights in the arena begin to die down as red and blue spotlights resembling Police cars circle throughout the arena as sirens wail all around. Suddenly the key intro for "Empire State of Mind" begins to play as Fred Debonair steps out from behind the curtain, he holds his head up high and raises his arms nodding as the crowd roar with approval. The SCW Underground Championship is over his shoulder.

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

Dawson: “Fred Debonair interestingly being very ambiguous with regards to the situation involving the number one contender for his title and the man that beat him at Retribution, David Helms and Lucas Knight, respectively.”

Knots: “Give Lucas the shot. He deserves it!”

Sharper: “Well regardless of that, I’ve heard rumours that Adam Riddick wants to get back in the Underground Championship hunt. For those that forget, several years ago, when Riddick was released by this company, he was the reigning Underground Champion.”

Debonair places the title underneath his corner and Riddick runs over and clubs Debonair in the back. Debonair falls to his knee in the corner and Riddick clubs him again as boos come from the crowd. Riddick grabs Debonair and lifts him up before driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. Debonair spins around and Riddick kicks him in the ribs. He nails him with a chop to the chest and Debonair winces as he then tries to walk along the ropes, but Riddick chops him again. The crowd woos. Riddick then grabs Debonair and hip tosses him out of the corner. Debonair rolls over and starts to get back up. Riddick then runs at him and attempts a clothesline, letting out a yell, but Debonair ducks and spins around. Riddick stops and turns around and Debonair nails him with a chop. The crowd woos. He then chops him again, knocking Riddick into the corner. Debonair then kicks Riddick in the knee before then jumping up and dropkicking him in the face. Riddick falls out of the corner, holding his face in pain. He slowly gets up and Debonair grabs him and drags him up before then hoisting him up and throwing him back with a back suplex.

Sharper: “Debonair turning things around. And with some quick offense. High impact too.”

Dawson: “Even just how he goes after you. It’s a bit different. He keeps you off-kilter. He keeps you guessing, often overloading your senses while attacking.”

Sharper: “The shot to the knee and then the dropkick. Then the quick snap back suplex. Riddick’s body is getting decimated and he doesn’t know where next.”

Riddick rolls over and starts to get up. Debonair walks over and stomps him in the back of the head. Riddick rolls over and then starts to get up. Riddick pulls himself up to his feet and Debonair nails him in the ribs with a punch. Riddick spins around and Debonair nails him with a snap jab to the ribs. He then grabs Riddick and whips him across the ring. Riddick bounces off the ropes and Debonair runs over and nails him with a jumping calf kick. Riddick drops down. He rolls over and gets back up and Debonair grabs him and takes him over with a floatover suplex. He stays for the pin.

Riddick kicks out. He rolls over and Debonair turns and grabs him and locks him in a reverse chinlock. He pulls back before then rearing his knee back and kneeing Riddick in the spine. He rears his knee back again and nails him in the back yet again. Riddick winces and Debonair then pulls back.

Dawson: “Debonair staying in control here.”

Knots: “Yeah. More than we can say about controlling his challengers. I can’t believe he’d just not say what we all know. Lucas Knight should get the next shot. Then Helms can go for his little goal.”

Sharper: “It’s not that. He doesn’t have that authority. That’s something CHBK or Sasha Drachewych have to decide.”

Knots: “Or Zero.”

Sharper: “Please don’t make me think of that.”

Debonair keeps the hold on as Riddick winces. He turns to his side and Debonair keeps the hold on and Riddick gets to his knees. Debonair suddenly lets go and jumps up and hits a leg drop to the back of Riddick’s head, driving him down into the mat. The crowd cheers and Debonair rolls Riddick over and goes for the pin.

Riddick gets his shoulder up. Debonair turns and grabs Riddick and starts to drag him up. He then nails him with a kick to the ribs. He then whips him into the corner. Riddick hits hard and Debonair turns and runs at him, only for Riddick to get his elbow up. Debonair staggers out and Riddick runs forward and clotheslines him down.

Knots: “Maybe that will help him with a decision.”

Sharper: “Adam Riddick taking down Debonair with a hard clothesline and he’s going to look to turn things around.”

Knots: “And without Kassie Khane too!”

Debonair gets up and Riddick turns around and kicks him in the ribs. He then hoists him up and takes him over with a vertical suplex. Debonair rolls over slowly and Riddick turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes and Debonair gets up only for Riddick to nail him with a running high knee to the face. Debonair drops to the mat and Riddick goes for the pin.

Debonair kicks out. Riddick turns and grabs him and hoists him up before hitting a backbreaker. Debonair rolls over, holding his back in pain. Riddick smirks as he grabs Debonair and drags him up and Debonair suddenly grabs Riddick by the head and attempts the Debon-AIR, but Riddick throws him off and Debonair goes face first into the mat. The crowd ohs and Riddick grabs him by the legs. He then hoists them up before lifting Debonair up and hitting a sitout wheelbarrow facebuster. The crowd ohs and Riddick rolls him over for the pin.

Debonair reaches up and pulls Riddick back before rolling through with a school boy like pin.

Riddick kicks out and the crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Nearfall. Riddick’s arrogance caught him.”

Dawson: “Yeah. He was so sure that was it, that Debonair had a clear opening and nearly took advantage of it!”

Both men get up and Debonair catches Riddick with a hard right. Riddick staggers back and Debonair then runs at Riddick, but Riddick hoists him up before throwing him down with a spinebuster. The crowd ohs and Riddick rolls through for the pin.

Debonair gets his shoulder up and the crowd cheers. Riddick turns and glares at the referee. He motions for a faster count before grabbing Debonair and lifting him up. He then kicks him in the ribs before placing his head between his legs. He hoists Debonair up for a powerbomb, but Debonair slides down before nailing Riddick with a forearm and then another before kicking him in the ribs. He then places Riddick’s head between his legs. He hoists him up, but Riddick drops down before crawling through the legs of Debonair, and holding onto one leg. Debonair spins around and Riddick takes him down with a double leg takedown before flipping forward with a jackknife pin.

Debonair kicks out just after and Riddick quickly rolls off and rolls out of the ring. The crowd boos as Debonair rolls over and looks up.

Sharper: “Riddick manages to get the win, with some quick thinking.”

Knots: “And Kassie Khane isn’t here. Only good signs for Riddick.”

Dawson: “Yeah, well I think he may have had the tights of Debonair there too. I don’t know. But Riddick…I do know he’ll do anything to win.”

Riddick gets up and smiles before raising his arm in the air. The boos continue and Debonair just shakes his head before pulling his tights up a bit. He then gets up and glares at Riddick before pacing the ring as Riddick continues to celebrate.

Dawson: “Well as Debonair is in disbelief and Riddick celebrates, we’re about to find out, another entrant in the Tactical Warfare match.”

Knots: “Oh boy! Who could it be?!”

We see the computer generated steel cage appear on the screen before spinning around, showing the 3-D rendering on all sides. It then spins around before we see the Tactical Warfare logo on the roof of the cage. It then suddenly flashes to white before slowly morphing into an image of the face of Josh Hudson. The crowd roars in boos for a few moments.

Sharper: “Oh my! Josh Hudson may get his chance. He’s in the Tactical Warfare match!”

Knots: “From trying to cripple CHBK to getting a title shot. Jake Starr….be on the look out. You and your reign may be going to sleep!”

Sharper: “Who else will be part of this match? That and Josh Hudson and Thorn going at it. That and so much more, tonight, still to come, on Breakdown. Don’t go anywhere!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we go backstage to see Jessica Winters standing next to Josh Hudson outside of his locker room. Josh Hudson looks nearly entirely unimpressed as he looks down, kicking his foot against the wall. Jessica turns to the camera.

Jessica: “Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown and I am here with Josh Hudson. Last Breakdown, you attacked Jake Starr. Now, this week, you’ve been announced as part of the Tactical Warfare match. Any comments on this turn of events?”

Josh Hudson just looks up and looks at Jessica Winters. He says nothing as he continues to just look at her. Jessica, becoming increasingly uncomfortable continues to hold the microphone in front of him before prompting him again.

Jessica: “Any comments?”

Josh just looks at her for a moment longer before turning around and opening his locker room door and stepping inside. He shuts the door behind him. Jessica Winters then turns to the camera completely confused.

Jessica: “I guess he has no comments at this time. Josh Hudson faces Thorn later tonight. We may get some sort of a statement then. Back to ringside.”

The scene switches back to ringside as the opening guitar riffs are heard leading into "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin. The crowd starts to give a mixed reaction as the opening line is heard.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson giving us the silent treatment and that makes me wonder even more, but going from one person who often lets his actions speak louder than words, we go to the man who made his one action louder than several months, Greg Cherry.”

Knots: “I hope Mr. Drachewych is doing well. Get well soon!”

Sharper: “Get well soon….give me a break.”

Dawson: “Greg Cherry coming out here. We’ve heard nothing from him since he attacked both Drachewych and Weilacher last Breakdown.”

The boos continue to fluctuate between cheers and boos as we see Greg Cherry walk out from the back. He looks out at the crowd before starting to make his way down the rampway and towards the ring. He walks over to the steel steps before walking up them. He walks along the apron and steps into the ring. He walks around before walking over to the far corner. He climbs up to the middle rope and looks around before doing his Penn Sen gesture. He looks around as the reaction continues to be mixed. He drops down and walks around before walking across the ring to the opposite corner and doing the same. He then drops down and walks over to the ropes before reaching through and being handed a microphone. Greg then turns around and starts to walk over to the middle of the ring before straightening his sunglasses and walks around the ring.

Cherry: “I suppose that I have a few things I need to explain. Don’t I?”

Greg Cherry smirks as he looks out at the divided crowd.

Cherry: “Well after month after month after month of empty promises and failed strategies, I realized that to be quite honest, I don’t need Mr. Drachewych to get back to the top. I don’t need Infection to get to the top. I don’t need any of them. I especially they’re not going to get me back to where I want to be. That was the deal. When I got that contract to return back in August….Drachewych said he’d get me the World Championship. I allowed my greed to get the best of me and I literally shook hands with my greatest enemy just to touch the World Championship again. Well, I now stand here without the World Championship and wondering where to go.”

Greg looks around, pausing as the crowd boos a bit.

Cherry: “But fortunately, I know where to go. Don’t get me wrong, I want to be World Champion more than anything else one could dream. This is the dream everyone that walks through the curtain wants and I am and will never be an exception. But I’ll face it…Infection…Drachewych….they derailed that dream. And well…I already showed Drachewych my thanks.”

Greg looks down and smirks.

Greg: “But it’s not over. If Drachewych thinks that it’s over….well….it only will be as long as he stays the hell out of this company. I hear he’s sitting at home, holding his neck in pain as he curses my name. Great. The son of a bitch deserved it. And now Jason Zero wants to try my plan….Good luck to you. But while Drachewych can bitch at home, I’m going to make sure that Infection is damn sure in the past. I am going to take everything Drachewych worked on and destroy it, much like he nearly destroyed me!”

The crowd starts to cheer as Greg looks out in the middle of the ring.

Greg: “And apparently tonight, we’re going to see Drew Weilacher in action tonight. The only other person of Infection that still claims loyalty to that no good son of a bitch. Oh…and his yappy little sidekick, Matt Bishop. Can’t forget him. In fact, I think that match is next. And against Jake Starr……seems like my past is meeting my present….”

Greg looks down for a moment before looking up and right at the hard camera.

Greg: “Well I’m going to take a nice front row seat right at ringside, right there in front of Adam Sharper, Jonathan Knots and Jim Dawson. And Drew….I’m going to watch your every move. Because I refuse to waste anymore time in my career. I will eventually see the World Championship again, but first…I need to do one thing. And Drew…Matt….your life is going to be the pits….Deal with it!”

“I Will Not Bow” plays throughout the arena and Greg Cherry brings the microphone down to his side. He then turns and walks over to the ropes before stepping through them and dropping down to the floor. He then walks over to the timekeeper’s table and grabs one of the steel chairs before lifting it up. He walks over and places it in front of the English announce table.

Sharper: “Greg Cherry turning his attention in eradicating SCW of the remnants of Infection.”

Dawson: “And with Drachewych gone, that leaves Drew Weilacher and Matt Bishop and Drew takes on Jake Starr in just a few moments.”

Sharper: “And Greg’s going to join us.”

Greg looks up at the curtain before sitting down on the chair. He leans back before folding his arms across his chest and just continuing to watch the ring.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jason Zero walking through the backstage area. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction as he continues down the hallway before glancing at one of the rooms and then stopping in his tracks. He turns around smirking and goes to grab the door handle, only to be stopped. Zero then looks up and sees CHBK standing right next to him.

CHBK: “I would leave her alone. Especially since she’s no longer at the arena.”

Zero: “Darn. I was going to see if she learned something tonight.”

CHBK: “Oh?”

Zero: “Do you honestly think I just wanted to drop her in the middle of the ring just for fun? Seriously. I like the girl. She’s at least a bit easier to deal with than her old man….or you for that matter.”

CHBK looks at Zero unswayed by the comments.

Zero: “Her problem is that she’s sometimes too easy to talk to. I figured I’d teach her to be prepared for anything. Trying to toughen her up. Depending on what you or her old man does, she may need it.”

CHBK just looks at Zero for a moment before leaning in.

Zero: “Don’t kiss me now.”

CHBK: “Jason. Do you really want round…what the hell is it now?”

Zero just smirks.

Zero: “Oh no. We’re both getting too old to deal with the crap we’d pull on each other.”

CHBK: “Then I suggest you leave now, before I get that itch that needs to be scratched. You’ll get your answer tonight….at least my answer if that means anything….providing you don’t piss me off anymore.”

Zero just laughs. He then turns and spins around before feigning a punch. CHBK jerks back a bit. Zero just looks at CHBK and shakes his head.

Zero: “You may need to relearn some of those lessons too.”

Zero then turns around and walks off as CHBK just looks down and lets out a bit of a sigh as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and the camera focuses upon Greg Cherry who is still at ringside, just leaning back in his chair, watching the entrance way.

Jake Starr vs. Drew Weilacher

"Violence Fetish" sounds over the PA system and the crowd starts to boo as Drew Weilacher walks out onto the ramp, Matt Bishop leading him. Bishop is his ever-arrogant self as he tells the fans how much better he is compared to them as he passes, while Drew growls at the crowd as he comes stalking down the ramp, intimidating fans and children, laughing at their fear. Then he climbs up onto the apron and steps over the ropes into the ring before walking across the ring and glaring at Greg, who just looks up at him. Bishop stands on the far side of the ring and looks across as Weilacher just starts to turn away.

Sharper: “Drew Weilacher clearly knows that Greg Cherry is here. You have to wonder whether this changes his strategy.”

Knots: “This is just not fair. Greg is out here. Clearly Drew’s going to be distracted. Add that he’s got to be wondering about Mr. D too. He can’t be one hundred percent.”

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

Sharper: “What an ovation for the SCW World Champion and he is just two and a half weeks away from arguably his biggest challenge, Tactical Warfare.”

Dawson: “And one has to wonder what he’s thinking going into that, but along with that, he’s got to be intrigued by the situation this match is in. His longtime rival, Greg Cherry is as ringside and Jake Starr is facing Greg’s former teammate Drew Weilacher.”

The bell sounds and the crowd roars as Jake Starr looks at Greg. He walks over to the ropes and smirks before looking at Drew Weilacher. Weilacher continues to watch Greg before Jake turns to Drew and notices this. Jake just shrugs before running over and kicking Weilacher in the ribs. Weilacher winces and Starr kicks him again. He then kicks him a third time before grabbing him and going to whip him into the corner. Weilacher, however, spins through and sends Starr into the corner. Weilacher turns and runs after Starr, but Starr gets his feet up. Weilacher staggers back and turns away only for Starr to run forward and jump up and hit a running bulldog. Weilacher rolls over, holding his head in pain. Starr then gets up and turns before running over and jumping up before hitting a standing shooting star press. He turns and goes for the pin.

Weilacher powers out and slowly gets up as Jake rolls over.

Sharper: “Nearfall there. But Starr using his quickness and nearly took out Weilacher.”

Dawson: “And Greg’s presence was all that was needed. Jake saw the opening and took it.”

Jake gets up and Weilacher rolls over as Bishop smacks the canvas in anger. Jake kicks Weilacher in the chest as he starts to get up and Weilacher pops up and stumbles over to the ropes. Jake then turns and chops him in the chest. The crowd woos. He then grabs Weilacher and whips him into the ropes. Weilacher bounces off the ropes and Starr moves to the middle of the ring and jumps up, hitting a dropkick, knocking him down. Weilacher rolls over and gets back up and he stumbles around. Starr grabs him and then takes him by the head and throws him through the ropes and right in front of Greg Cherry. The crowd roars as Greg Cherry, remains seated, right next to Weilacher. He looks down at him as Weilacher slowly gets up. Weilacher then looks at Greg and glares before turning around and Starr runs at the ropes and dives through them, but Weilacher catches Starr. Starr looks around but Weilacher then throws him down to the mats before getting up and looking at Greg, yelling at him. Greg, however, does not even look at Jake. Instead, he just looks Weilacher right in the eyes.

Sharper: “Oh my! Right in front of Greg Cherry. Weilacher slammed Starr down hard.”

Dawson: “All the wind had to come right out of the sails of Starr. Wind knocked right out of him there from the impact alone.”

Knots: “And looks at Weilacher. Standing right up to Greg Cherry. Come on! Hit him!”

Bishop runs around the ring and quickly snaps at Weilacher. Weilacher continues to glare and lock in a staredown with Greg Cherry. Weilacher then turns around and grabs Jake Starr as Bishop sighs in relief. Weilacher then lifts Starr up to his feet before pressing him up and throwing him through the ropes and into the ring. Weilacher then grabs the ropes and pulls himself up onto the apron. He glances back at Greg Cherry before returning to the ring. Starr starts to get up and Weilacher runs over and nails him with a hard clothesline in the back of the head, knocking him down. Starr rolls over in pain. Weilacher then bends over and drags him back up before lifting him to his feet before kneeing him in the ribs. Starr winces again and stumbles over to the ropes. He looks up and Weilacher and clubs him in the back. Starr falls to his knees and Weilacher grabs Starr and then whips him into the ropes. Starr bounces off the ropes and Weilacher scoops him up and lifts him onto his shoulders. He then turns and looks at Greg before planting him with a powerslam. Weilacher then pulls himself up before walking forward and into the ropes and looking right at Greg Cherry. Greg actually smirks a bit as he leans back.

Knots: “Come on! Focus on Jake Starr. Then focus on Greg! Drew! What are you doing?”

Dawson: “Matt Bishop is doing the same. He’s desperately trying to get Drew Weilacher to focus on the SCW Champion, but Drew continues to posture himself to Greg.”

Knots: “I told you this was just going to be a distraction. This is just not fair!”

Starr rolls over and slowly starts to get up and Drew turns around and walks over before grabbing Starr and starting to lift him up. Starr then suddenly nails Drew with an uppercut. Drew staggers back and Starr then nails him again. Weilacher staggers back and Starr jumps up and dropkicks him into the corner. Weilacher slowly starts to pull himself up in the corner and Starr gets up. He then turns and runs over and jumps onto the middle turnbuckle and nails Weilacher with a hard right and then another and another, only for Weilacher to push him off. Starr rolls back and Weilacher staggers forward only for Starr to get to his feet and runs over and nail Weilacher with a running European uppercut. Weilacher falls back into the corner as the crowd ohs. Weilacher then staggers forward and Starr gets up and springboards to the middle rope before jumping back and hitting a back kick to the head of Weilacher knocking him down to the mat.

Sharper: “Springboard back kick and Weilacher is down.”

Dawson: “Starr is right next to the corner. He’s looking around and this crowd, I think, has a clue of what’s next!”

Weilacher is down on his hands and knees. He slowly starts to lift himself up, but Starr springboards to the top rope. He then dives off and hits the Shooting Five Star Frog Splash to the back of Weilacher as he’s on his hands and knees. The crowd cheers and Weilacher grimaces in pain and Starr rolls through. Weilacher rolls onto his back, arching it in pain and Starr goes for the pin, hooking the legs. Greg gets up and stands up before walking over to the ring.

The crowd cheers and Starr gets up and then turns to Greg Cherry. Greg then pulls himself up onto the apron. He stands on the apron before entering the ring. Jake just looks at Greg and Greg just looks at him. Starr then smirks before motioning to Greg that Drew is all his before exiting the ring. He grabs his World Championship before just turning around and starting to make his exit, laughing.

Sharper: “Jake just told Greg that Drew’s all his.”

Dawson: “I never thought I’d see that, but Jake’s loving it. He’s laughing all the way to the back.”

Sharper: “And now, Drew Weilacher is hurt in the ring and all Greg’s!”

Greg just looks down at Drew and smirks. As he continues to look at Drew, Matt Bishop enters the ring from behind. He then walks up behind Greg and spins him around. He snaps at him, starting to shake his finger and yell at him. Greg just looks down and shakes his head before then kicking Bishop in the ribs. Bishop winces and Greg then lifts him up before hooking his head and hitting the Keystone Effect on Bishop. Bishop is out as he just ends up on his stomach, hardly moving. Drew stirs and Greg rolls over as the crowd roars. He looks at Drew Weilacher before then pulling himself up. He looks at Matt and then Drew before backing away and exiting the ring. He drops down to the floor. He then walks around the ring and starts to make his way to the back. Drew and Bishop are still down as we go backstage.

The cameras arrive backstage where we see Lucas Knight walking down a corridor with Nathan Slade, his friend, at his side. Lucas is dressed in a black shirt with the collar popped open, black slacks and a pair of boots. Slade is dressed in a black tank top with the Order of Chaos Logo emblazoned on it, jeans and magnum patrol boots and of course in his hand is the navy blue steel cricket bat of Lucas’ with the Union Jack etched into it. The reaction from the fans can faintly be heard echoing the corridor, but they pay no attention as tonight both men appear fully focused.

Nathan Slade: “So you ready to do this tonight mate?”

Knight stops to look at his fellow compatriot and ‘back up’ and just grins from under his sunglasses before removing and hanging them from his shirt pocket.

Lucas Knight: “Ready? I was ready the day I came out of my mother’s womb bruv, seriously you of all people asking me if I’m ready!?!”

The look on Slade’s face shows a slight concern, why though no one can ascertain.

Nathan Slade: “I’m just saying mate, after what happened what happened last week. I just wanted to know you had your head in the game tonight.”

Lucas lets out a sigh and pat’s his long time friend on the shoulder reassuringly.

Lucas Knight: “Don’t worry Nate; there isn’t anything that can happen tonight that will throw me off my game. I beat that monkey David Helms tonight, management will have no option other than to put me in that tactical warfare match at the pay-per-view.”

The confidence Lucas has is enough to put Slade at ease, but of course he brings up another part of the problem Lucas seemed to be forgetting...

Nathan Slade: “What about Debonair?”

Lucas Knight: “He will just have to wait won’t he? Sure I issued the challenge, and he’s had two fucking weeks to answer but not a peep from him. I’m not a patient man, especially when there’s gold involved mate. IF that crack monkey wants a piece of Lucas Knight now, he’ll have to wait in line like everyone else.”

Lucas lets out a laugh to himself and the pair carries on walking, but not much further than a few feet as the look on both men which was one of joy turns sour. With the camera turning to its left we see David Helms and Bishop Steele blocking their path, David with a grin on his face like a Cheshire cat.

David Helms: “Well if it isn’t Lucas Knight!”

Lucas Knight: “What do you want, can’t you wait till later to get what’s coming?”

David Helms: “Heh, I’m just here to make sure you have no injuries tonight; you know nothing wrong with your arms or legs-“

Lucas Knight: “What the hell you talking about, I’m perfectly healthy to ki-“

Before Lucas can finish Helms interrupts...

David Helms: “Calm down man, I’m not here to fight with you just yet just to fill you in on something that I think you need to kno-“

Lucas now interrupts Helms; obviously he didn’t want to have to deal with this before the match later tonight.

Lucas Knight: “There is NOTHING you can say to me that I care about; the fact is tonight you’re going to go down the same way as Debonair did at the Pay-Per-view and...”

David Helms: “What, because of chuckles over there? See it’s like this Lucas, you have Mr Muscle over there, and I got Steele here. If your guy tries to interfere believe me, you’ll be starting something you won’t be able to finish, you’re just lucky the wife isn’t here because I’d be happy to...”

Lucas has had enough and tries to lunge at Helms only for Slade to grab and hold him back.

Nathan Slade: “It’s not worth it Lucas, we’ll deal with this shit later on, not now!”

The words of wisdom certainly get through to Knight who just stares at helms with a sneer before slowing backing away with Slade.

Lucas Knight: “You’re going to suffer tonight mate, that I fucking promise!”

Knight and Slade disappear from the cameras view, leaving us with Helms and Steele who’re both grinning. As we focus in on Helms for one last moment he yells out to Lucas, whether he’s listening is subject to debate.

David Helms: “HEY LUCAS!!”

With the camera quickly turning we see both Slade and Knight turn a corner, before returning to Helm’s who waves em off.

David Helms: “Screw it; he’ll see the surprise tonight ha-ha!”

Knots: “Surprise... What surprise?”

Dawson: “No idea, guess we’ll find out later tonight like Lucas Knight!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see a computer generated steel cage appear on the screen before spinning around, showing the 3-D rendering on all sides. It then spins around before we see the Tactical Warfare logo on the roof of the cage. It then suddenly flashes to white before slowly morphing into an image of the face of Hurse. Cheers come from the crowd as Hurse’s picture stays up on the screen.

Sharper: “Hurse is going to join Justin Davis! Talk about a way to get revenge.”

Dawson: “Yeah and also the other individual who got a shot at the End of the Year Special gets another opportunity!”

Glacier vs. “Bad” Billy Mitchell

PULL THE TRIGGER!!!!!

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

Dawson: “Bad Billy Mitchell about to have a heck of another challenge. Ironically, facing former tag champs, back to back weeks in Josh Hudson and now Glacier.”

Knots: “Yeah. And Glacier’s with Justin Davis now. You figure this all out.”

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

Dawson: “Glacier joining Justin Davis explicitly last week after he helped Davis lay a trap against Hurse and Rick Rohl.”

Sharper: “All part of Davis’ goal to continuously make an impact. And say what you will, but he has been doing that.”

Glacier walks around as Billy Mitchell looks at Glacier. The two spin around and Mitchell then moves and nails Glacier with a stiff knee. He then grabs Glacier and nails him with a hard right and then nails him with another hard blow. He spins him around and clubs him in the back and Glacier falls forward into the ropes. He bounces back and Mitchell hoists him up before throwing him back with a back suplex. He rolls over and goes for the pin.

Glacier kicks out. Mitchell turns and gets up as Glacier stirs. Glacier starts to get up only to turn and Mitchell knees him in the jaw and Glacier falls over and falls into the ropes. Mitchell then walks over and places his foot over his back before pushing down. The crowd roars as Mitchell sits down, choking Glacier. Glacier winces as the referee calls for the break.

Mitchell gets up and Glacier coughs before rolling off the ropes and down to the floor. He then turns and grabs the ropes before starting to pull himself up slowly.

Sharper: “Mitchell using that brawling style. He’s not going to look pretty doing it. He’s just going to hurt.”

Knots: “Yeah and Glacier’s maybe getting his head knock around by those shots. Geez!”

Glacier starts to get up and Mitchell walks over and clubs Glacier in the back again. He then spins him around and nails him with a snap jab before nailing him with a right hook and then whipping Glacier into the ropes. Glacier bounces off the ropes and Mitchell runs over and attempts a lariat, but Glacier ducks. He stops and Mitchell turns around and Glacier kicks him in the ribs before then kicking him hard in the face. Mitchell pops up and Glacier then runs at him and spears him into the corner. Glacier then backs up and drives his shoulder into the ribs over and over again. He then backs away and grabs Mitchell and drags him out before then taking him down with a drop toe hold. Glacier gets up and turns and runs into the ropes. He then runs over and hits a leg drop to the back of Mitchell’s head. He rolls Mitchell over and goes for the pin.

Mitchell kicks out and rolls over as Glacier grabs him and clubs him in the back before clubbing him again.

Sharper: “God! These two are going to battered and bruised after this match.”

Dawson: “A brawl of sorts between these two. That’s what they’re both known for and just wailing away on one another.”

Glacier then grabs Mitchell and whips him into the ropes. Mitchell bounces off the ropes and Glacier hoists him up and then drives him down to the mat with a spinebuster. Glacier then pops up and walks around the ring as the crowd roars. The cameras turn as we see Rick Rohl and Hurse running down from the back. Rohl and Hurse then slide in and Glacier turns only for Hurse to jump up and clothesline him down. Glacier rolls over and starts to get up as the crowd roars and the bell sounds. Glacier gets up only for Rohl to grab him from behind. He knees him in the back before hooking his head and spinning him out with the Rickroll. The crowd ohs and Glacier rolls over, holding his head in pain. Hurse however quickly walks over and grabs Rohl before lifting him up via the legs and turning over, locking in the Legend Lock. The crowd roars as Glacier starts to yell in pain as Mitchell rolls out of the ring.

Sharper: “Hurse and Rohl have struck! Revenge is coming here!”

Knots: “And Hurse has Glacier locked in! Oh God! This is bad!”

Dawson: “This match has been thrown out, but Hurse and Rick Rohl, shockingly taking the proactive approach and attacking Glacier!”

Hurse continues to pull back as Glacier yells in pain. Rohl just watches him and actually cheers on Hurse as the crowd cheers. Glacier starts to tap out from the pain as the crowd cheers a bit more. Finally, we see Justin Davis appear from the back and he runs down from the back. Hurse lets go and quickly dives down to the mat and exits the ring as Davis slides in. Rohl exits a bit slower and less urgently. Davis then spins around and looks at Rohl and Hurse before turning and kicking the bottom rope in anger. He spins around before looking at Hurse as Hurse starts to jump up and down in celebration for the successful attack in the rampway as Rohl just shakes his head and enjoys a small laugh at Hurse as the two start to make their way to the back.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Glacier entering his locker room and kicking the couch in the room before spinning around and wincing, before holding his back.

Glacier: “I don’t believe it! Those two idiots got the drop on us! What the hell?”

Davis walks in and looks around, with his hands on his hips. He just takes a deep breath.

Glacier: “Huh? And where the hell were you?”

Glacier nudges Davis and Davis looks up at him.

Davis: “Just relax. Everyone gets lucky at one point. So you know what…they want to come after us. We’ll regroup. But later tonight….I’m not going to let them screw things up for me. Aaron Rupp doesn’t need to get lucky. I’ll get Rachel and Alex….you come out. We’ll make sure no one gets involved later….and if they show up, you can get some revenge. How about that?”

Glacier: “Easy for you to say! You have a title match!”

Davis: “I’ll take care of Hurse inside the steel some more. He’ll probably cry anyways. I’ll enjoy it. Win a title too.”

Davis smiles.

Davis: “But we can also get some revenge tonight if he wants to stick his head in our business again.”

Glacier just spins around.

Glacier: “Whatever. But I want to get my hands on both of them before Tactical Warfare. You understand?”

Davis: “Sure…just settle….Geez.”

Glacier turns away and then kicks the couch yet again in frustration as Davis just shakes his head and we go back to ringside.

David Helms vs. Lucas Knight

Sharper: “Well ladies and gentleman, up next we have a singles fall match involving both Lucas Knight and David Helms!!”

Dawson: “Earlier tonight the pair had a talk you could say, and at the end Helms said that he had a surprise in store for Knight, we still haven’t found out but we’re sure we will In the coming moments…”

Knots: “Bah, hopefully it’s him not bothering to turn up. Lucas doesn’t need to face that monkey!”

Sharper: “Well here comes that “monkey” now, I’ll be sure to mention you called him that later on…”

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

INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….

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

SUBJECT: HELMS…

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

EVALUATION: DANGEROUS…

The gunfire and sirens halt as the chanting intro of “Downfall of us All” by A Day To Remember echoes around the arena. Two blue fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp as the song’s riff kicks in. The lights flicker back on as Helms walks out onto the top of the ramp with a barbwire covered chair in hand, alongside him is Bishop Steele with a look of intensity on his face. The pair lookout into the audience that are cheering loudly, chanting in some cases proud of their popularity. Helms stops and smirks, throwing one arm into the air before bringing it back down and smacking the chair a couple of times. Fireworks go off all the way down the ramp before they begins to walk down the ramp, high fiving fans. Helms slides under the bottom rope still clutching the chair and climbs the turnbuckle, once again raising an arm into the air while the fans go crazy as Bishop begins to head around to a side of the ring.

Dawson: “There’s no denying that Helms is one popular individual here in SCW, his hardcore style mixed with high risk is a treat these fans love.”

Sharper: “There’s no denying that he’s gifted and tough as brass balls but you’re missing out one crucial thing there.”

Knots: “This isn’t underground rules, so he can’t use that chair!”

As the three discuss it amongst themselves more out go the lights with a flick of a switch causing everyone else in attendance to wonder what's going to happen next, then without warning their thoughts were answered as lyric’s are sang over the P.A System as Gasoline by Porcelain & the Tramps plays…

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

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

With the pyro erupting, the stage entrance lights up and pacing back and forth like a caged animal is a silhouette of a man with a hood drawn over their head. They then stop and in doing so the arenas lights illuminate once more and standing there motionless is Lucas Knight. Shortly After we see Nathan Slade walk out still dressed as before with the Cricket bat resting over his shoulder and a grin on his face.

Dawson: “It doesn’t surprise me that Slade is out here with Knight!”

Knots: Um, hello Helms has Steele with him!”

Sharper: “But we all know if Slade wasn’t even in this company, this would be a straight shooting one on one match up.”

Knots: “Pssh yeah right!”

Both Knight and Slade start to head towards the ring, fans throwing abuse at them but the pair just look at each other and laugh. As they reach the bottom Knight slides under the bottom rope and scales takes his jacket off tossing it to the outside before jumping down and turning to face Helms.

Sharper: “You can only imagine the thoughts what’re going through these two men’s minds…”

Dawson: “I’m sure in Lucas’ case it can’t be nice.”

Knots: “and in Helms’ case it’s probably “oh my god, don’t hurt me!!”

The sound of Knots laughing echo’s through the airwaves while both men stand in the ring looking across from one another, Lucas starts to take a step forward until Helms holds his hand up motioning for Lucas to stop which he does. Steele then hands Helms a microphone and the #1 contender to Fred Debonair’s title addresses Lucas.

David Helms: “Before we get this match started officially Lucas, there something I WAS trying to tell you but you left so abruptly. But hey at least now I can tell you without you walking away like a baby...”

Knight resents that fact and starts to hurl a tirade of verbal abuse at Helms who’s taking it all in his stride as he carries on.

David Helms: “Sure run your mouth, you’ll be shutting up in a moment because earlier today? I had a little talk with Sasha, before her unfortunate spill, you know her right? Well seeing how I’m number one contender for the Underground title...”

Suddenly Lucas stops shouting at Helms and smirk begins to form, he’s obviously got an idea what Helms is about to announce asking is his contender ship on the line now? However Helms laughs at Knight which doesn’t help matters.

David Helms: “No Lucas, you don’t deserve to have a shot at my contendership. But you see as long as you like to cheat your way to victory, I asked her to make this an Underground rules match, and you know what?”

The crowd pops as Steele slides a steel chair into the ring, upon seeing this Slade slides in Knights bat but Lucas is quick to pick up the chair and Helms the bat. Knight then charges at Helms lifting the chair up but in doing so Helms swings the bat hitting the chair full force into Lucas’ face sending him flying back into a corner.

As the camera focuses in we see Knight is busted wide open already with blood beginning to cover the majority of his face. As Helms grins at the sight it isn’t long before Lucas gets to his feet charging at Helms who swings the bat again only for Knight to duck under but instead of hitting the ropes he vaults over with the chair and before landing smashes it over the head of the unsuspecting Bishop Steele knocking out the Next Level member cold.

Knots: “DID YOU SEE THAT ATHELTICISM!?!”

Dawson: “Steele didn’t’ see that coming at all!”

Sharper: “I don’t think ANYONE expected that from Knight!”

Knight now wipes his face and throws the blood down on Steele before turning to look at Helms and just grins at his opponent who’s demanding Knight gets back in the ring, before he does though from behind comes Slade taking Helms down with a sick clothesline with his tree like arms. The crowd are going crazy with boo’s as Lucas slides back into the ring now and is quick to mount Helms and hammer away with stiff right hands pulling him to his feet and whipping the #1 contender into the corner.

Sharper: “AND THERE’S THE NUMBERS GAME COMING INTO PLAY ALREADY!”

Knots: “It’s his own fault; HE made it a Underground rules match!”

Lucas then pats Slade on the back as he charges at Helms, who moves out the way allowing Knights muscle to hit the corner full force. Knight tries to get at Helms but he’s taken down with a clothesline of his own from Helms. Lucas gets back up and is met with another clothesline as members of security and EMTS head to the ring. Security grabbing a hold of Slade who was on the outside getting his breath back and the EMT’s attending to Steele.

Sharper: “Finally some justice, Sasha had to have sent these guys pretty quickly!!”

Knots: “Bloody woman has to medal!”

Dawson: “That bloody woman pays your cheque...”

Knots: “Ahh cra-“

In the ring though it’s an all out war, Lucas and Helms sharing left’s and rights Helms getting the upper hand once again whipping Knight into the ropes catching him on the return with a hip toss. Knight is quick to get up though and is met by a dropkick to the face. Instead of going down Lucas stumbles back hitting the ropes, Helms charges at Knight, Lucas runs out and attempts the clothesline, but he ducks and leaps on to the second rope spring boarding back and as Knight turns around Helms locks on and drives him headfirst with a DDT.

Slade is trying hard to fight off the security but to no avail as there is just too many of them for even a man of his size to handle. Helms is waving him away saying goodbye until he see’s Steele and exits the ring to see if he’s alright. Afterwards he slides back into the ring and pulls knight to his feet, but Lucas rakes Helms face and eyes in a desperate bid to get more time to recover. The Brit then stumbles towards the ropes holding his head watching Helms as he regains his senses.

Dawson: “Cheap tactic there by Knight, but it’s definitely bought him some time to recuperate!”

Knots: “Couldn’t have said it better myself there!”

Sharper: “Was you born a suck up, or did you pick up that gift as you progressed through life?”

Knots: “Enough about me, let’s focus back on this match damn it!”

Knight again charges at Helms who ducks under his attempt and as Lucas spins around attempts a super kick which Lucas duck’s under. Knight’s quick thinking is a credit to him for just a moment as he drives a knee into the gut of Helms before doubling him over and lifting him up for a power bomb. The crowd screams at the thought but Helms starts to kick his legs violently and as Knight brings him down, Helms counters hitting a face crusher!!

Sharper: “Helms covers!!”

Thr-KNIGHT KICKS OUT!

The look on helms face says a lot as he knows how close he was to the win, he then rolls over and see’s the steel chair lying in the centre of the ring. He then looks at Lucas and quickly scurries over to Knight resting the chair on Lucas’ body. Helms then points to the top turnbuckle and starts to climb it much to the crowds delight which is an ear shattering cheer.

Sharper: “Don’t do it, go for the cover!!”

Dawson: “He wants to put Lucas out for good, if he hits this move it’s all over!”

Knots: “MOVE LUCAS MOVE!!!”

Helms does a signal and leaps backwards for the Moonsault, but Lucas rolls out of the way completely, helms catching nothing but canvas. AS he rises to his knee’s holding his ribs though, from out of left field Knight comes hitting a homerun using the steel chair wrapping it around Helms head. Helms drops to the canvas but Lucas doesn’t cover instead he’s talking trash at the fans, whether he’s making much sense is anyone’s guess. Once he’s done berating the fans Knight drops to his knees and covers helms hooking both legs...

Thr-HELMS KICKS OUT!

Knight cant’ believe it slapping the mat for the ref to count faster and goes for another cover this time hooking the tights.

1...

2...

Thre-AGAIN HELMS KICKS OUT!!!

And again...

1...

2...

Thr-HELMS KICKS OUT!!

Knots: “HOW THE HELL DID HELMS SURVIVE THAT!?!”

Sharper: “We said earlier he’s one tough son of a bitch and that right there proves it!!”

Dawson: “Lucas is furious!!"

Lucas Knight is indeed livid as he gets to his feet screaming in anger while the referee helps Helms remove the chair necklace he was kindly given by Knight. Knight just turns to look at Helms wondering what he has to do to put him away. But can’t help get a small smirk as we see Helms is now busted wide open after that sickening chair shot.

Sharper: “Lucas is like a shark once he sees blood has been spilt, especially his opponents...”

Dawson: “I know like the look of this situation at the moment...”

Knots: “NOW FINISH HIM!”

After wiping more blood from his face and rubbing it on his chest, Lucas gingerly walks towards Helms before pulling him to his feet and holding him by his throat yelling for him to just give up, it’s over. Knight goes for a stiff right, but the one-hundred and seventy pound number one contender springs into life blocking the strike with his left and hitting Knight with a stiff right of his own. Knight tries again only to fail and receive another, then another forcing him to stumble back into a corner.

Sharper: “Helms battling back valiantly!!”

Helms grabbing Knights arm pushes him off the ropes, but Knight Counters with a reversal sending Helms instead.

Knots: “”Knight Counters!!!”

Helms run’s at the ropes for more speed and on the return before he could pull off anything he had thought of, Knight has him up in a gorilla press and with the momentum throws Helms over the top rope, the Next Level founder going airborne and lands ribs first into the steel barricade on the outside.

The crowd erupts with “Holy Sh*t!” chants as well which just entice Lucas to slide outside of the ring and begins to look under the apron for anything he can use.

Sharper: “What that’s not enough already Lucas!?! Just pin him already!!!”

Knots: “It’s never enough for Lucas Knight, you heard what he said earlier he wants to make Helms suffer and by god if you ask me. The #1 contender to Debonair’s title signed his own death warrant.”

A short search later he pulls out another steel chair and looks at Helms who’s resting up against the barricade while fans cheer him on. With an intense look in his eyes, Knight heads over and lifts the chair up to finish the job. But Helms springs up and kicks Knight in the gut doubling him over forcing him to drop the chair, in doing so helms applies a front face lock and snaps back with another DDT this time on the chair which get’s a rousing reception from the Fans by the aisle.

Sharper: “COVER!! COVER!!!”

Knots: “NOOOOO!”

Dawson: “COVER HIM DAVID, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!!”

Still feeling the after effects from that insane fall from the ring Helms manages to roll knight on his back and goes for the cover as the fans shout abuse at knight to stay down while others cheer on Helms.

1...

2...

Thre-KNIGHT KICKS OUT JUST!!

Knots: “Good god and THANK GOD!”

Sharper: “I don’t think I can take much more of this!!”

Dawson: “You and me both!!”

Helms cant’ believe it, the fan’s can’t believe even the ref can’t but Knight kicked out with literally a millisecond to spare. Helms looks at the referee who just says no showing 2 fingers. He then is the first to his feet picking up the steel chair and climbs the apron looking down at Knight who’s just laying there motionless. He looks to have second thoughts but the fans cheer him on and with it Helms runs the apron and leaps off and hit’s a diving elbow drop with the chair in-between on Knight. With both men down the fans start a SCW chant over and over again, as this match must have been great viewing...

Sharper: “That BIG move there taking a lot out of Knight, but I think it took more out of Helms. He can’t cover...”

Knots: “Come on Lucas!!!”

Dawson: “Hang in their David!!!”

With both men holding their ribs for different reasons, they start to stir. First Helms followed by Knight slowly getting to their feet with the fans seemingly behind both men now. Knight goes for a right but Helms ducks under only to stop holding his ribs by the barricade. Knight see’s this and picks the chair up as Helms turns around Knight Swings the chair, but helms ducks but Lucas doesn’t stop instead he hit’s a female fan who was directly behind Helms.

Sharper: “OH MY GOD!!!”

Dawson: “DID HE DO THAT ON PURPOSE?”

Sharper: “Surely not!!”

Dawson: “I don’t know it looked like he did!!!”

For a moment it’s like the whole arena had stopped after seeing what just happened, including Knight who stops to stare at the woman whose busted open herself. The Brit then shouts some abuse at her for being in his way before turning his attention back to helms but gets a kick to the gut for his trouble! With the chair once again on the floor, Helms grabs Knight by the back of the head and hurls him into the opposite barricade in the asile before heading back to check on the fan Knight hit with the chair.

Sharper: “At least Helms is showing some concern for the woman, can we get some medical staff out here PLEASE?”

Dawson: “Yeah, she looks cut up pretty bad...”

Knots: “That’s what happens when you get in the way, it’s her fault!”

It’s not long before a couple of EMT staff run down the aisle not for the first time this evening and stat to check out the female fan. Helms turns to focus back to Knight but he hit’s a low blow on him before rising up and hitting a stiff European uppercut sending him down to the ground. Instead of carrying on the offensive Knight too heads over to where the EMTS are checking on the fan, pushing them aside only to laugh which get’s an aggressive response from the fans. Knight though not let it phase him continues to laugh before focusing back on Helms pulling him up to his feet and hitting another European upper cut before dragging him up onto the stage area with the referee in tow.

Sharper: “That’s all this match needs now, to head up to the stage!!!”

Knots: “Lucas must be thinking this is the only way he’ll pick up the win, and given what’s happened in this match I’d have to agree!”

Knight is again holding Helms by the hair shouting abuse at him, he then hurls him headfirst into the stage scenery with a thud before picking him up and applying a front face lock before dragging him towards the edge of the stage. Knight looks down to see a series of tables set up with all kinds of equipment on it. He then signals with a slash across his own throat with a thumb and lifts Helms up but he starts to kick his legs frantically and lands back on his feet, Helms then locks his arms around Knight and lifts him up and over with a bridging German suplex which the ref is quick to drop to the stage and count.

1...

2...

Thre- KNIGHT KICKS OUT!

Helms holds his head as Knight rolls over holding his neck before getting to his feet with a sneer on his face. Helms gets to his feet and the two begin to exchange left’s and rights like two championship boxers, Helms goes for a clothesline which Knight ducks. Helms spins around to a kick in the stomach and Knight turns around hooking both Helms arms up and ducks and spins around allowing Helms to slid down his back a little.

Sharper: NO DON’T DO IT LUCAS!!

Knots: DO IT DO IT!!!

Dawson: YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HIM!!

The look on Knights face is a grimace as he leaps off the stage and through the tables below hitting the Monarchy Rules, a modified Vertaebreaker on David Helms. The crowd goes crazy with holy shit chants and concern for helms well being. High from the stage as we look down we can see Knight laying on top of helms with the cover and from field right we see the referee who starts the count...

1...

3!!!!

The bell sounds and boos ring throughout the arena like nothing we’ve heard before. From out the back we see Slade quickly run down the ramp to the side stage area and help Lucas out of the train wreck which just occurred. Knight’s back is cut open badly as he can stand all the while we see Helms still lying amongst the carnage not moving.

But before we go to commercials, we see a computer generated steel cage appear on the screen before spinning around, showing the 3-D rendering on all sides. It then spins around before we see the Tactical Warfare logo on the roof of the cage. It then suddenly flashes to white before slowly morphing into an image of the face of Katie Steward. The crowd starts to boos for a few moments.

Knots: “Oh dear God. It’s going to happen.”

Dawson: “Katie Steward gets her World Championship match. She’s made a big deal about this for months. Now she gets her chance.”

Sharper: “And I’m sure we’re going to hear about it at some point tonight. Lots more still to come here on Breakdown, including Thorn taking on Josh Hudson. Don’t go anywhere.”

The scene fades to commercials.

COMMERCIAL:

Masquerade vs. Brayden Walker

The intro to The Name of the Game hits the speakers as the lights dim throughout the arena. Pyro explodes on stage. The crowd erupts into cheers as Brayden Walker slowly makes his way onto the entrance ramp and looks at the crowd. Brayden Walker smirks as he continues on his way to the ring. He then hops onto the apron before entering the ring. He walks around before running into the ropes and bouncing off them. He then walks forward and smirks before looking at the curtain.

Sharper: “Brayden Walker about to make his return to the ring. We saw him back last week with his tag partner, Aaron Rupp. We now know, Liberation and Karnivale will battle for the Tag Titles at Tactical Warfare.”

Dawson: “It was the match we thought we were going to see at Body, Heart and Soul. Walker got injured. But now, we’re going to get it.”

Sharper: “And we’ll get a nice preview here tonight too.”

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

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

The big screen shows more model like slow motion shots of the good looking yet deranged stranger as well as several clips of Karnivale celebrating with titles and victories. From the ramp, a pedestal opens and rising slowly as if in slow motion, with the wind blowing in his face, is Masquerade. His back is to the audience and his arms are out at different angles, holding several different masks. Behind him we see the fireworks go off showing an actual arrangement pattern in the shape of a mask. The fans, meanwhile, hold up their own masks. Masquerade holds his head down slightly while the wind blows. His vest is undone so the camera picks up his build quite easily. As he poses for the camera, he waits till he hears...

Welcome to the Masquerade

He turns slowly one eighty for the audience, before tossing his masks aside. They cause a few cool explosions when they land. Masquerade then walks down the ramp, waiting a second before running and sliding into the ring. He lies on his back and puts his hands up and lowers them over his face to take off his last mask as the vocals go 'I'm not afraid... I'm ashamed... I'm not ok... Welcome to the Masquerade!'

Masquerade kips up and slowly takes off his trenchcoat, tossing it out of the ring, and lets his vest fall a bit so he can show off. He then does it up and goes to rest on the turnbuckle, his legs up. While he waits for his opponent to enter the ring, he takes his mask and tosses it out to a lucky fan in the audience.

Welcome to the Masquerade...

The music cuts and the fans roar!

Dawson: “Masquerade coming off having lost the Adrenaline Championship to Aaron Rupp at Tactical Warfare and we’re going to see Aaron Rupp in action later tonight against Justin Davis. But they made a deal. Masquerade gets his rematch as long as Liberation gets a shot at the Tag Team Championship.”

Knots: “Yeah. Really. All of this for competition too. How honourable….woo?”

The bell sounds and Masquerade and Brayden Walker nod to each other as they circle around the ring. Both then stop before lunging and meeting up in the middle of the ring. Walker then turns and wrenches the arm of Masquerade. Masquerade winces and Walker jerks on the arm. He then lifts it up, but Masquerade flips forward and then nips up and wrenches Walker’s arm. Walker flips forward and down to the mat. Masquerade then steps over Walker, forcing him to roll onto his knees. Masquerade then jerks on Walker’s arm before turning and running into the corner. He then runs up to the middle turnbuckle and then to the top rope. He then spins around and arm drags Walker down. Walker rolls through and gets back up. He then spins around and runs at Masquerade and he takes him over with a Japanese arm drag. Walker rolls over and gets back up. Masquerade rolls over and looks over at Walker only to grab him and nail him with a chop. Walker staggers back and against the ropes. The crowd woos and Masquerade chops him again.

Sharper: “Masquerade working on Walker with those chops. Echoing through the arena.”

Dawson: “And with each other, probably waking Walker up a bit more.”

The crowd woos and Masquerade then whips Walker across the ring. Walker bounces off the ropes and Masquerade moves forward and attempts a running back elbow, but Walker ducks. Walker bounces off the other side and Masquerade moves forward and takes him down with a spinning heel kick. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Walker kicks out. He rolls over and slowly gets up as Masquerade grabs him. He lifts him up and then nails him with another chop. He then kicks him in the ribs before hooking his leg. He hoists Walker up, but Walker spins through and lands behind Masquerade. He then pushes him forward and into the ropes and the pulls back and into a roll up.

Masquerade kicks out. Walker falls forward. He then gets up as Masquerade gets up and Walker quickly nails him with a hard right. Masquerade winces and Walker nails him again. He then grabs Masquerade and whips him into the ropes, but Masquerade jumps to the middle rope and backflips back, taking Walker down with a moonsault. He then rolls off and starts to get back up.

Knots: “And you can tell Walker’s been out of the ring for a bit.”

Sharper: “Masquerade hitting a springboard moonsault. Almost a lionsault of sorts and taking down Brayden Walker.”

Masquerade gets up and walks around the ring as Walker slowly gets up. Masquerade then moves to the corner before turning and running at Walker and drilling him with a running leg lariat. Walker hits the mat and Masquerade rolls over and goes for the pin.

Walker gets his shoulder up. He then rolls over and Masquerade starts to get up. He grabs Walker and drags him up to his feet before hooking his arm. He then hoists him up for a vertical suplex, but Walker counters and drops down. Masquerade then tries to lift him up again, but Walker counters with a knee to the head. He drops down and then takes Masquerade over with a snap suplex. Masquerade rolls through. He then starts to get up. He slowly gets up and Walker gets up before spinning around Masquerade and snapping him back with a hard German suplex. The crowd ohs and Masquerade rolls over, holding his head and neck in pain.

Sharper: “Oh my! Walker with a vicious German suplex. Just throws Masquerade back hard on his head and neck.”

Knots: “Well Walker may have just turn this match around.”

Dawson: “And Masquerade is hurt. A perfectly executed German suplex. Wow.”

Walker slowly gets up and rolls over. Masquerade rolls over, holding his head in pain. He stumbles to his feet and Walker grabs him and takes him over with a gutwrench suplex. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Masquerade kicks out. Masquerade then rolls over, holding his head in pain. He slowly starts to pull himself up and Walker grabs him and throws him back with a Russian leg sweep. Walker rolls through and then turns and walks over to the corner and exits to apron. He then starts to pull himself up to the top rope. Masquerade remains down and Walker stands on the top rope before diving forward and hitting a guillotine leg drop to the head of Masquerade. The crowd cheers and Walker turns and hooks the leg.

Masquerade shoots his shoulder up and rolls over as Walker rolls off. He looks at Masquerade before grabbing him and slowly dragging him up.

Sharper: “Two and three quarters. Masquerade shoots his shoulder up in the nick of time!”

Knots: “Yeah. And the former Adrenaline Champion was that close to losing to both members of Liberation.”

Walker lifts him up and nails him with a forearm shiver. He then nails him with another and Masquerade staggers back. Walker then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and hits a clothesline. Masquerade rolls over and slowly gets up and Walker turns and walks over to the ropes in front of him before bouncing off them and running at Masquerade, but Masquerade jumps up and takes him over with a hurricanrana into a pin.

Walker kicks out. Masquerade falls forward. He then slowly gets up and turns around grabs Masquerade, but Masquerade jumps up and hits a jawbreaker. Walker stumbles back and Masquerade grabs Walker and lifts him up before running him into the corner. He then hoists Walker up onto the rope. Masquerade nails him with a hard right before pulling himself up to the middle rope and grabs Walker and then gets to the top rope, but Walker nails him with a shot to the ribs and then another before pushing him off. Masquerade hits hard. Walker then pulls himself up to the top rope before diving forward and hitting the Name of the Game. The crowd ohs as Walker then stays on top of Masquerade for the pin.

The crowd cheers and Masquerade pulls himself up and leans back. He then looks down at Masquerade and nods before starting to pull himself up.

Sharper: “Brayden Walker with a successful return to the ring tonight, but what a match between these two.”

Knots: “Yeah, but Walker, he does that again, and we got new tag champions!”

Dawson: “That could be the case. But either way, that’s going to ask a lot come Tactical Warfare. Can he do it again? We’ll find out.”

Walker looks down at Masquerade and then reaches down and grabs him by the arm. He helps him up and Masquerade turns to his knees before slowly getting up. Walker then pats Masquerade on the back before walking away. He steps through the ropes as Masquerade glances back and looks at him, nodding in approval as we go backstage.

The scene cuts backstage and immediately boos can be heard as we see Katie Steward standing in her locker room, looking around. She jumps up and down and bit, clearly happy before looking around again and then shrieking.

Katie: “TJ!”

Johnson suddenly trips over a bag and falls to the ground. Robin sticks her head up from the back of the room while Paris just shakes her head at the makeshift bar.

Robin: “Ah!”

Johnson: “Coming!”

Katie: “TJ! We are going to the ring! We must celebrate this great news!”

Johnson: “Yes, my Goddess!”

Johnson gets up and runs over to the door. Katie just smiles as she walks through the door and TJ follows after her, shutting it behind her. Robin then turns to Paris and Paris just shrugs as Robin just shakes her head.

Sharper: “Well I guess when we return, we’re going to have Katie Steward joining us out here at ringside.”

Knots: “Get your earplugs. This is necessary!”

The scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we hear Katie Steward giggling before “My Addiction” plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos loudly as pink spotlights come down on the stage. TJ Johnson steps out from the back and turns around before looking at the curtain. TJ Johnson then kneels down in the middle of the stage.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Wednesday Night Breakdown and we are being joined by Katie Steward, who no doubt has to be loving the fact that she gets to finally get her SCW World Championship opportunity.”

Knots: “Yeah and I wonder if she’s figured out that there is a high likelihood she’ll be bleeding during that match. Why does that entertain me so much?”

Katie Steward walks out and looks around as the crowd boos even louder. She looks around before posing as the spotlights continue to focus on her. She smiles before walking over to TJ Johnson and standing in front of him as he holds the microphone to her mouth.

Katie: “Behold! Your Goddess has returned to the position that she has been hunting for months now. Finally, people have come to their senses. No longer am I without Team Desire. Robin Brooks and Paris Dannon have returned. And now, I get my chance to show the world that Jake Starr never pinned me at Gang Rulz and that I am the rightful World Champion!”

The crowd boos as Katie looks around and smiles before looking around and then looking forward.

Katie: “Finally, people have stopped holding me down, aware of how amazing my talents are. They are no longer jealous. I mean, this was worse than when the other so-called women here were jealous of me and tried to end my Women’s Championship reign…which for the record, never ended! Oh yes! But finally Sasha Drachewych has ended what clearly is her outright jealousy and realized that she cannot outdo me in any way and has put me in Tactical Warfare!”

Katie suddenly stops and looks down before looking around before looking down at TJ.

Katie: “It’s Tactical Warfare? TACTICAL WARFARE!”

Katie looks down, quizzically at TJ. TJ just gulps before nodding.

Katie: “TACTICAL WARFARE! Oh my Goddess!”

Katie looks around, clearly now unsure.

Katie: “My Goddess! No! This is a trap. This is a trap so that all of those jealous individuals can take their shots at me. This is a trap so that I will be removed from the wrestling world. They will bring me in that cage and then who will stop the world from ending the greatest thing in this. This is horrible. No wonder I was given the shot. This is a way to remove me. Well!....I…..”

Katie looks around before stamping her foot and looking up, more confidently.

Katie: “Well that will not happen! They will not succeed! Your Goddess will persevere. Just as she has thus far, against all of the unfairness and unjustness that I have suffered, hoping to get my World Championship shot. Shawn Winters was thrown in front of me. Ha! Nothing! Blake Mason. Most foolish decision he made leaving my side and after attacking me, he’s not been seen since! What kind of challenge is THAT! Mmm-hmmm!”

Katie looks around, seemingly less flustered, putting on her best acting performance.

Katie: “No one will stop me. I will, despite everything, not only get through Tactical Warfare, but I will be World Champion and no one will be able to stop me. Not Sasha Drachewych. Not your jealousy! No one!”

Just then suddenly, Katie is nailed from behind, and she falls forward and onto TJ Johnson. She rolls over and we see Damian Angel standing at the top of the entrance way. He looks down at Katie and smiles before grabbing Katie as she stirs and snapping her down with a bulldog on the steel. The crowd ohs and Damian rolls over. Autumn Daniels walks around and just smirks. He then stands over Katie for a moment.

Sharper: “Damian Angel? Why?”

Dawson: “I don’t know. Why is he out here? Now he’s just standing over Katie as she’s down.”

Damian continues to stand over her before slowly backing away as we then see Robin Brooks and Paris Dannon appear from the back. Robin Brooks then holds Paris back before looking forward at Damian. Damian then drops down to the floor on the side of the rampway, before helping Autumn down. The two then continue on their way to the back on the floor as Paris then moves forward and checks on Katie, only for TJ to get up and run over and check on her. Robin continues to stand at the top of the ramp, watching Damian before then turning to Katie and checking on her as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see a computer generated steel cage appear on the screen before spinning around, showing the 3-D rendering on all sides. It then spins around before we see the Tactical Warfare logo on the roof of the cage. It then suddenly flashes to white before slowly morphing into an image of the face of Christian Savior. The crowd boos loudly as the image stays on the screen.

Sharper: “Well how about that? Christian Savior after nearly beating Jake Starr a couple of times in the last few weeks has his opportunity!”

Dawson: “Yeah and maybe this is the next step for Savior and his plan. He’s US Champion. And he may soon be the World Champion!”

Bishop Steele vs. Christian Savior

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Once the pyros are done he then takes of his sunglasses and get ready for his opponent. Alexis climbs out and his music becomes faint over the PA system.

Sharper: “Bishop Steele going to try and expand his career and also do a nice favour for Jake Starr in some ways, now that we know that the US Champion is in the Tactical Warfare match.”

Knots: “Yeah. Good luck there. Bishop Steele is going to take on one of the hottest people in the game right now and the new US Champion. Sorry if I don’t like Bishop’s chances.”

Dawson: “Well we saw him earlier involved in that war between Helms and Knight. I wonder if that one shot he took will affect him.”

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

Sharper: “Savior is a proud champion, that’s for sure. And he’s got to be loving the fact that he has another opportunity to win the World Championship at Tactical Warfare.”

Dawson: “Most likely. He could become a double champion yet again.”

Knots: “How sweet that would be.”

Savior smiles as the referee calls for the bell. He then turns and hands the belt off to the referee. The referee takes the belt and turns around and goes to hand it to the timekeeper. Just then, Savior takes a chain out from his pocket and Bishop Steele starts to walk over, but Savior suddenly drops down to the mat, holding his jaw with the chain over him. Bishop realizing this, runs over and quickly grabs the chain, but the referee turns around and sees Bishop with the chain, going over to Alexis to hand her it, but Savior also down, holding his jaw. The referee walks over and goes to Steele. Steele turns and backs away. The referee points to the chain and then looks at Savior before turning and calling for the bell. The crowd roars with boos and Bishop walks forward and continues to argue with the referee. Savior then rolls to the floor and continues to sell the never-done punch with the chain while walking over to the timekeeper’s table and grabbing his belt. Bishop then pushes the referee out of the way. He then exits to the floor, but Savior drops the act and runs around the ring before running over to the rampway.

Sharper: “What the hell just happened?”

Knots: “Yes! That was brilliant. I think Bishop Steele was disqualified! Savior faked a shot with that chain. The ref saw Savior down and Bishop with that chain.”

Dawson: “Give me a break.”

Sharper: “I think you’re right. The referee is going over to raise Savior’s hand, but he’s getting the hell out of here.”

Knots: “Brilliant. He doesn’t get injured going into Tactical Warfare and he picks up the win! Savior is amazing!”

Savior jumps up and celebrates as Bishop stands at ringside in disbelief. Jason Phillips announces Savior as the winner getting more boos from the crowd as Savior continues to the back. Alexis walks over to Bishop as both are in disbelief as we go backstage.

The scene cuts backstage to see Ravyn Taylor walking through the backstage area with Syren, Brittany Lohan leading the way. Lohan, has Ashley Cherry’s title over her shoulder, as Syren holds her title and Ravyn Taylor holds the Majestic Valkyrie Championship. All three have their bags with them and continue on their way down the hallway. Brittany Lohan turns and starts to walk towards the back entrance of the arena only to stop. She turns and motions to Ravyn and Syren to stay where they are before she carries her gear and stolen title over towards the back entrance where Autumn Daniels stands with a lead pipe. The crowd roars upon seeing them.

Lohan: “Excuse me. But to put it simply, I crush you like a bug. So move.”

Daniels just smirks and Lohan goes to strike Autumn, but is grabbed and spun around. Damian Angel then stands in front of her. Ravyn and Syren then both run over and quickly join their comrade-in-arms.

Damian: “I wouldn’t suggest that. I mean, you could ask some interesting questions about why we are here. Perhaps even think for once in your blonde brain. I realize that Ravyn believes that she’s the brains, but I figure both of you have to have one working brain cell.”

Lohan: “Why you-“

Ravyn: “Brittany….cool it.”

Ravyn steps forward. She then smirks.

Ravyn: “What do you want Damian?”

Damian: “Well I was in the neighbourhood and I realize that you seem to have a problem with CHBK and thus, by association, a problem with Sasha. Perhaps I am here to clarify that position. Or maybe, I’m here to lead to you to recount your thoughts. Maybe this is just a friendly hello. Maybe I’m here to mess with CHBK. God knows he and I aren’t on good terms. Or maybe….maybe that’s what I want you to think and in reality, I’m here for something completely different.”

Ravyn just looks at Damian and glares at him.

Ravyn: “Well regardless of the reason, none of them need to necessarily prevent us from leaving.”

Ravyn then turns to Syren and then Brittany Lohan.

Ravyn: “Guys….go. She’ll move.”

Damian just smirks as Autumn actually steps aside. Syren and Brittany Lohan turn and exit, Syren a bit more quickly, Lohan, with disdain. Damian just continues to smirk at Ravyn.

Ravyn: “I don’t need you to get one up on CHBK.”

Damian: “Now…that’s why you think I’m here. Heh….”

Damian smirks and then turns and walks off as Ravyn just looks completely confused. She then turns away, still uncertain, before leaving the scene as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Justin Davis vs. Aaron Rupp

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

Sharper: “Aaron Rupp holding the Adrenaline Championship, having won it at Retribution against Masquerade, abruptly ending his reign.”

Knots: “Yeah and now, Rupp’s going to see his recent success come to a screeching halt. He’s facing the man that cost him a World Championship shot in that Contendership tournament, Justin Davis.”

Pyrotechnics shoot out of the top of the ramp as "Awake and Alive" by Skillet begins to play. Justin Davis then comes walking out to a mix reaction of a crowd, wearing his entrance gear; zippered up vest with running pants that reads Davis on both legs. He stands at the top of the ramp looking around the arena, smirks and nods his head. He then glances behind him and we see Rachel Foxx, Glacier and Alex Desoubrais Jr. on their way from the back. Davis smirks as he turns back to the ring and he then finally walks down the ramp, not slapping hands with any fans. His entourage follows him. Once Davis makes it to the ring he points up to the sky then slides in the ring. And, once he gets in the ring he goes to a random turnbuckle and stands on the second rope, taunting all the fans, then points up to the sky and drops down. His entourage meanwhile just remains in the rampway on watch. Davis now waits in the middle of the ring, stretching, and awaiting the start of the match.

Dawson: “Well you can see his entourage here, concerned with Hurse and Rohl’s attack on Glacier earlier.”

Sharper: “One has to wonder if they’re going to get involved in this match.

The bell sounds and Davis just smirks as he walks around the ring. Rupp just glares at him and then starts to walk forward as Davis then moves and sweeps out. Rupp turns and goes to grab him, only for Davis to grabs Rupp, but Rupp grabs him and pulls him into his knee. He then nails him with another knee. The crowd cheers and Rupp then nails him with an elbow to the back of the head. Davis falls to his knees before starting to get back up and Rupp then grabs him and nails him with a forearm shot to the back only to grab him and quickly drop Davis with a reverse DDT. He follows up with a pin.

Davis kicks out. He then rolls over and starts to get up. Rupp gets up and lunges and attempts a superkick, but Davis turns and dives through the ropes and drops down to the floor. He backs away as Rupp looks up. He then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor.

Sharper: “Davis looking to get some distance and Rupp is going right after him!”

Knots: “Give him space damn it! Give him space! Ref! Hold him back!”

Davis moves away and jogs around the ringside area as Rupp runs after him. Davis slides into the ring and then gets up and runs into the opposite ropes. Rupp slides in as well and Davis bounces off the ropes and Rupp nails him with a hard clothesline. The crowd cheers again and Davis rolls over and gets back up as Rupp pulls himself up. He then nails Davis and hits a hard chop. The crowd woos and Rupp then whips Davis into the ropes. Davis bounces off the ropes and Rupp lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop. Rupp turns around and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and attempts a spinning heel kick, but Davis sidesteps him. Rupp hits the mat and gets up and Davis nails him with a hard kick to the head, knocking him down. Rupp rolls over and starts to get up and Davis quickly grabs him and throws him back with a back suplex.

Dawson: “Davis back in this with a bit of quick thinking.”

Knots: “Planting Rupp and more impact-making tonight!”

Sharper: “Davis now lifting Rupp up and Davis slowing down the pace already.”

Davis grabs Rupp and knees him in the ribs. Rupp staggers back and Davis nails him with a hard right. He then grabs him and whips him into the corner. Rupp hits hard and Davis runs after him and nails him with a vicious clothesline in the corner. Rupp falls down to the mat. He looks at him before stomping him in the head and then nailing him with a facewash kick to the face. He turns around and runs along the ropes before bouncing off the other side. He then runs back towards Rupp and nails him with a vicious running facewash kick. The crowd ohs and Rupp rolls over. He slowly starts to stir and Davis gets up and smirks before grabbing Rupp and whipping him into the ropes. Rupp bounces off the ropes and Davis lifts him up onto his shoulders before throwing him back with a hard Samoan drop. The crowd boos and Davis turns and goes for the pin.

Rupp kicks out. He rolls over and slowly starts to stir. Davis then turns and grabs him and drags him up before nailing him with an uppercut. Rupp pops back and Davis quickly grabs him and plants him with the Fallout. The crowd boos as Davis sits up.

Knots: “Face first! Wooo!”

Dawson: “The Fallout. Davis hits the Fallout and Rupp is in a bad way. The Adrenaline Champion is in a bad way right now.”

Davis rolls over and goes for the pin.

Rupp gets his shoulder up. He rolls over and slowly stirs. Davis grabs him and drags him up. He then nails him with a hard clubbing blow to the back before spinning him around and hitting a European uppercut. Rupp staggers back. Davis then grabs him and goes to whip him into the ropes, but Rupp stops and pulls Davis in before grabbing him and throwing him over with a T-bone suplex. The crowd cheers and Davis rolls over and gets back up only for Rupp to nail him with a spin kick to the ribs. The crowd ohs as Davis bends over and Rupp grabs Davis and hoists him up before quickly spiking him with a brainbuster. The crowd ohs and Rupp turns and goes for the pin.

Davis kicks out. Rupp looks over and then turns and mounts him before nailing him with shot after shot after shot before getting up and walking around the ring. He then looks at Davis and starts to call for him to get up.

Sharper: “Rupp starting to show more aggressiveness, a different form than we’re used to. He’s just hammering away at Davis!”

Dawson: “Now, he’s just waiting for him to get up. He’s waiting for Justin Davis to make his way up to his feet.”

Knots: “Stay down Justin! Admire the fibres in the canvas. It’s an SCW ring. One of the finest in the world!”

Dawson: “What the hell are you talking about?!”

Davis slowly starts to stir and suddenly, Glacier turns and hops onto the apron. Rupp turns and lunges and nails him with the superkick. The crowd ohs and Glacier falls off the apron. Rupp then turns around and Davis gets up and runs at him, but Rupp spins around and rolls him up in a school boy.

The crowd roars and Davis rolls over. Rupp falls over and slowly starts to get up as Rachel and Alex Jr. turn around and then quickly enter the ring. Rupp gets up and Alex Jr. runs over and nails him with a chopblock, knocking him down. The crowd boos and Alex Jr. gets up as Rachel then turns and dives on top of Rupp and starts to hammer away repeatedly, seemingly waiting for a place to attack. Davis starts to get up and he then goes to Rachel and tells her to get off before stomping Rupp in the face. Rupp rolls over and the crowd roars before we see Brayden Walker start to bolt down from the back. Right behind him, though, is Shilo Valiant, Masquerade and Marina Trent. The crowd cheers and Rachel, Alex Jr. and Davis bail. Karnivale and Walker slide into the ring and immediately they get up, ready to fight. Glacier stirs as Davis walks past him and Rachel turns away, clearly frustrated and starts to storm off. Alex Jr. runs after her as Davis and Glacier stand at ringside.

Sharper: “Karnivale and Brayden Walker coming to save Rupp. How’s that for respect!”

Knots: “Oh yeah. In a couple of weeks, they’re going to hate each other. Belts are on the line. Why the hell are they caring about each other!”

Dawson: “It’s because they have respect and they want competition. That’s what this is about!”

Rupp slowly gets up and the crowd cheers as Karnivale and Liberation turn to one another and nod, acknowledging their mutual respect. The two teams continue to stand in the ring as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Sharper: “And there we may have the response from CHBK. He’s giving him his World Championship shot.”

Dawson: “He’s one of the eight individuals. And check on supremecw.com Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. We will reveal the teams for Tactical Warfare then. You know the eight individuals involved. We’ll find the teams out on Friday.”

Sharper: “And well, the SCW World Champion is back on his way out here and he’s got something with him.”

Knots: “That’s an axe handle!”

Dawson: “Well maybe he’s getting ready for Josh Hudson. I don’t know.”

Sharper: “And we meant to mention this earlier, but couldn’t given that we were so focused on Greg Cherry, but Jake Starr has gotten a bit of interesting press lately.”

Knots: “He knocked out Dan Douglas of IWC. He’s a loose cannon. He’s punching other owners. For what? This guys a goon!”

Sharper: “And I’ve heard that Dan Douglas has been filing a complaint with SCW and Sasha Drachewych about our champion. I doubt anything will be done, but who knows…”

Starr walks down the rampway and then over to the steel steps. He brings the axe handle down and hits it against the steel steps as he walks up them and then enters the ring. He spins around before walking over to Jason Phillips. He asks for the microphone and gets it. He then turns and walks over to the middle of the ring. He looks around and smirks as the crowd cheers.

Starr: “So it seems that we’re now having a party and I’ve become the guest of honour. I’m now out here and I am the World Champion, but it seems that I have people willing to go to insane lengths to get a shot. And on top of that, I have everyone trying to gun for me.”

Starr smirks.

Starr: “Damn it’s good to be champion. But to Savior, Hudson….hell, Zero…you want to come after me again, I have a little bit of back up here just in case. Because I may take on all comers, but I’m not stupid. I know that each and everyone of you are going to try and take me out. Hell, we saw Savior stoop to new lows earlier. Same with Zero. It seems to run in the family. And Hudson’s got mute. Davis and Hurse are whining and bitching and Katie Steward is as annoying as ever. The more things change…the more they stay the same.”

Starr just starts to pace back and forth.

Starr: “Now you all may be wondering why I’m out here. Don’t worry, I’m not going to cave Josh Hudson’s head in-“

The crowd starts to boo and Starr smirks.

Starr: “Yet! It will happen….just need to warm up a bit. You know…make him realize it’s coming, probably go through the five stages of grief before then getting his head taken off. But I’m out here because in a few moments, we’re going to see Josh Hudson. We’re going to see Thorn. But I know a lot of people may not want any of us to make it through. And so I’m going to just stand right over there…”

Starr points over to the corner of the ringside area with his axe handle.

Starr: “…and Josh….you want to come at me again….well, this time….you can do it face to face.”

“Love Me or Hate Me, It Doesn’t Make a Difference" can be heard throughout the arena, as it echoes through the PA system and then it breaks into “Lie". Out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and nods his head yes, and then begins to head down to the ring. He ignores the various boos and the middle fingers and trash talk from the fans, walking down the ramp with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He then walks up to Starr and smirks as Starr smirks back, the two locking eyes. Hudson then grabs the microphone from Starr. He then spins around and walks away a bit.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson is out here, obviously for his match, but he’s going to say something to the champion.”

Knots: “Just hit him with the microphone!”

Hudson turns back to Starr.

Hudson: “Oh, big words. It seems that I’m finding myself constantly dealing with people who’s heads are bigger than their balls. CHBK talked a big game, but he’s shied away from what he knew was inevitable. And then there is you, standing here, antagonizing me, only to have a weapon in your hand….”

Starr just smirks before then turning and tossing the axe handle to the floor. Hudson scoffs a bit.

Hudson: “But Starr, I will tell you this….I attacked you last week not because I wanted to prove anything. It was to make you realize that I’m coming for you. Because while it seems that the people backstage want me to be involved in this huge match at Tactical Warfare….I won’t be there.”

Sharper: “What?”

Hudson looks at Starr as Starr looks a bit confused.

Hudson: “Because I refuse to get into the ring with a bunch of gimmicks that are trying to get ahead. I refuse to also waste my time. Because Jake, there’s only one thing that I want. And it’s simple. I want you…and only you. Because I’m sick of you coming out here and acting like you’re the greatest thing to ever grace the earth. It makes me run to the washroom to throw up every time. Why? Because I know I’m better than you. And yet, here you are, the World Champion. See I could win Tactical Warfare and that would be great and all. But I want to beat you, one on one, to prove it. And until that happens, you and I….we’re not going to be meeting in the ring.”

Starr goes to take the microphone away from Hudson, but Hudson pulls back.

Hudson: “Now, get the hell out of this ring, so I can beat the holy hell out of your friend.”

Hudson brings the microphone down. Starr just smirks as he leans back and leans against the ropes. He looks up as Hudson motions for him to leave again. Hudson then steps forward as Starr points behind him. Hudson turns around and Thorn stands there and tackles him down before diving on top of him and starting to hammer away at him. Starr quickly drops down and exits to the floor. Thorn is pushed off of Hudson as the crowd roars.

Dawson: “Thorn! From behind! And Thorn’s going to start this match his way!”

Knots: “And he just attacked Hudson from behind!”

Sharper: “Just like last Breakdown when Hudson attacked Starr. That’s some poetic justice!”

Hudson starts to get up and Thorn gets up and nails him with a hard right and Hudson staggers back. Hudson leans against the ropes and Thorn nails him with another hard right. Hudson nearly goes up and over. He then turns and Thorn backs up before then running forward and clotheslining Hudson up and over the top rope and to the floor. Hudson rolls over and rolls into the barricade as the crowd cheers. Thorn then grabs the top rope as the referee appears in the ring and calls for the bell to start the match. Thorn immediately vaults himself over the top rope and vertical presses onto Hudson. The crowd cheers and Thorn slowly gets up. He then looks out at the crowd as the crowd roars and Starr applauds.

Sharper: “Thorn going right after Hudson and when we return, this match continues!”

COMMERCIAL:

Josh Hudson vs. Thorn

Breakdown returns and we see Thorn running at Hudson and attempting a jumping leg lariat in the corner, but Hudson catches him before running forward and dropping Thorn with a sitout powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Hudson stays down for the pin.

Thorn kicks out and rolls over.

Dawson: “Nearfall! But not quite!”

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and Thorn has largely been on the offensive for the entire commercial break until now when Hudson just planted him.”

Thorn starts to stir and Hudson gets up and drills Thorn in the back with a clothesline. Hudson rolls over and gets back up as Thorn rolls onto his back. Thorn starts to get up and Hudson grabs him and lifts him up and then nails him with a European uppercut. Thorn staggers back. He spins around and Hudson kicks him in the ribs. He then whips him into the ropes. Thorn bounces off the ropes and Hudson nails him with a back elbow. He then turns and stomps Thorn in the face. Thorn rolls over. Hudson smirks and bends over and lifts him up before kneeing him in the back. Thorn winces and Hudson then drops him with a reverse DDT. Hudson turns and goes for the pin.

Thorn kicks out. Hudson then pulls himself up before turning and bouncing off the ropes nearby and jumping up and hitting a knee to the face of Thorn. Thorn rolls over and holds his face.

Dawson: “Right to the face and notice how this match has just slowed down.”

Knots: “Hudson’s not going to fly around that ring. He’s going to wear Thorn down and torture him. We saw this against CHBK. We’re seeing it tonight. We’re going to see it in Jake Starr’s future, God willing.”

Thorn starts to get to his hands and knees and Hudson grabs him and lifts him up to his feet before nailing him with a crossface punch to the chest. Thorn winces and stumbles forward. Hudson then clubs him in the back before spinning him around. He nails him with a hard European uppercut and Thorn falls back into the corner. Hudson then grabs Thorn and goes to whip him across the ring, but instead, pulls him into him before spinning around and snap belly to belly suplexing Thorn into the corner. The crowd ohs as Thorn falls down to the mat, arching his back in pain.

Sharper: “Oh! Back first into the turnbuckles and Thorn hit hard.”

Knots: “That was fantastic! His body’s mangled! That was great!”

Starr just watches as Thorn rolls over slowly and starts to get up, almost on instinct, but Hudson kicks him in the ribs. He then gutwrenches him up and over with a suplex. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Thorn gets his shoulder up. The crowd cheers and Thorn rolls over. Hudson just smirks before turning and driving his knee into the back of Thorn. He then turns and grabs the head of Thorn and pulls back. Thorn winces and Hudson then smirks before bringing his hand up and pulling back on the nose and face of Thorn. The referee calls for the break and Hudson then rakes the eyes. Thorn rolls over and Hudson gets up. He then grabs Thorn and drags him up. He then kicks him in the ribs before going to whip Thorn into the ropes, but Thorn spins through and sends Hudson into the ropes. Hudson bounces off the ropes and Thorn takes him over with a snap powerslam. Thorn then rolls over as Hudson arches his back in pain.

Sharper: “Thorn snaps Hudson down and both of these two, their backs may be in bad shape at the end.”

Dawson: “And Thorn also giving him a chance to come back. Hudson’s methodical pace has made it difficult for that comeback.”

Hudson rolls over and starts to get up as the crowd cheers. Thorn pulls himself up and then nails Hudson with a hard right. Hudson staggers back and Thorn nails him again. He then goes to whip Hudson into the ropes, but Hudson spins through and sends Thorn into the ropes. Thorn bounces off the ropes and jumps up and hits a flying clothesline. Hudson rolls over and starts to get back up and Thorn kicks him in the ribs before taking him down with a DDT. Hudson rolls over onto his back. Thorn then goes for the pin and hooks the leg.

Hudson kicks out. Thorn rolls off and pulls himself up. Hudson starts to get up and Thorn quickly jumps up and nails him with a single-leg enziguri. Hudson flips forward and onto his back. Thorn rolls over as the crowd ohs. Thorn then walks over and exits to the apron. He looks up as he starts to climb up to the top rope.

Dawson: “Thorn going to the top. This could be a mistake.”

Knots: “I hope it is! Come on! Fall!”

Sharper: “You’re despicable!”

Thorn stands on the top rope and then dives forward and hits a swanton bomb onto Hudson. The crowd cheers and Thorn rolls over. He then turns and holds his head before going for the pin. He hooks the leg for the pin.

Hudson shoots his shoulder up and the crowd ohs and then boos. Thorn rolls over. Starr just encourages Thorn as Thorn gets up. He then walks around as Hudson pulls himself up slowly, holding his ribs. Thorn quickly jumps forward and nails him with a dropkick to the head. Hudson rolls over and to the ropes. He then slowly pulls himself up. Thorn then turns and runs over at Hudson, but Hudson spins around him and grabs him before throwing him up and Thorn does a full backflip, landing on his stomach, from a German suplex by Hudson. The crowd ohs and Thorn rolls onto his back, holding his ribs in pain.

Dawson: “Turned him inside out. Hudson just hoisted Thorn up and nearly dropped him on his head.”

Sharper: “A full backflip and Thorn is in a bad way!”

Hudson gets up and Thorn starts to get back up. He spins around and Hudson kicks him in the ribs. He then hoists him up onto his shoulders, but Thorn knees Hudson in the side of the head repeatedly. Hudson drops Thorn down and Thorn quickly grabs Hudson and lifts him up before dropping him with the Prickly Heat. The crowd ohs and Hudson just ends up on his back. Thorn rolls over. He then crawls over to the ropes before pulling himself out onto the apron. Hudson rolls over slowly. He then starts to bring himself up to his feet. Thorn gets up and springboards to the top rope and jumps forward, but Hudson then moves forward and catches Thorn on his shoulders before turning and hitting the Go 2 Sleep. The crowd ohs and Thorn rolls onto his back. Hudson drops down and hooks both legs.

The crowd boos and Hudson rolls off of Thorn before falling to the mat. He then turns and looks over at Jake Starr before starting sadistically smirk.

Knots: “And that man….that man, Jake Starr should be concerned with.”

Dawson: “Thorn nearly defeated Hudson, but Hudson caught him taking one too many risks and that was it.”

Hudson starts to pull himself up as Jake Starr looks up at Hudson and smirks. Hudson gets up to his feet as Thorn starts to stir. Jake Starr then starts to move towards the ring before suddenly, we hear “Knight of the Wind.” From the back, we then see Jason Zero walk out from the back, microphone in his hand. He starts to make his way down to the ring smiling.

Zero: “Well congratulations Josh. You managed to get a big win. And good for you on your little speech. As both you and Starr have clearly established that you hate each other. But see, Josh….you’re not the only one not pleased with Tactical Warfare.”

Zero walks down to the ring before walking up the steps. He then steps onto the apron.

Zero: “Don’t worry. I’m not here to go after you, Jake or Thorn. That just wouldn’t be my style. I don’t attack from behind.”

Zero smiles as he enters the ring, joining Thorn, Hudson, the referee and Jason Phillips who had come to announce the winner. He then walks over as Hudson turns and glares at him. Starr joins in the disdain for Zero.

Zero: “But while CHBK told me that he was going to give me his answer to me. I’ll flat out tell him…and the world, that Tactical Warfare is a cop out and it’s not good enough. My deal is still on the table. Because much like Hudson here….I want to face you Jake. I want to beat you one on one and end your reign. Why? Because I respect what you’ve done. And I want to see where I stack up one on one.”

Zero pauses and smirks as just then we see Starr grabs a microphone from the announce table. Thorn pulls himself up to his feet and just watches Zero and Hudson as Starr turns back to the ring.

Starr: “Well it seems that I’m quite popular. So let’s solve this. You guys want a shot at me one on one. I don’t see anchors tied to your asses and I don’t back down from challenges. Get CHBK, Sasha, or anyone else who matters and make the match and I’m knock both of you off the list. You want the title, come and try!”

The crowd roars in approval as Zero and Hudson both smirk. Just then, we hear the voice of CHBK as he walks out from the back, microphone in his hand.

CHBK: “Whoa….whoa….whoa. It’s amazing that some people forget that they can’t make matches. In fact, that’s my job. And while I can appreciate the competitiveness and the desire of everyone in that ring, I sadly have to say no…at least for now….”

The crowd actually boos CHBK.

CHBK: “I know….but Tactical Warfare is going to happen and Josh…Jason….both of you are entered. Say what you will. But prove yourselves there. Afterwards, we can discuss a few more things. But we chose the top seven contenders and the SCW Champion for a reason. To give people opportunities. Josh…Jason….you’re both getting your opportunity. Be happy about that. Because I’m getting really sick of both of your manipulating. Play your games on someone elses time, because I’m not going to play. Both of you have your title shot at Tactical Warfare. And Jason…you didn’t say how you wanted your title shot….That’s your mistake.”

Zero just smirks and turns back to the entrance way.

Zero: “That’s a shame. I was hoping that I wasn’t going to have to play games. I guess that I’ll just take your title shot….but as for my shares….they’re staying with me. I think I’m a bit clearer on my terms now. And as for Tactical Warfare….it will be chaotic…THAT I can guarantee.”

Zero suddenly turns and grabs Jason Phillips before planting him with the Chaos Theory. Thorn instinctively goes for Zero, not liking his attack on a defenseless being, but Zero quickly rolls out of the ring, much like earlier. The crowd goes hush again as CHBK just looks down at the ring and glares at Zero. Zero just backs away from the ring and smirks, starting to laugh as Thorn checks on Phillips. Hudson just smirks as Starr watches everyone and the scene slowly fades to black…
