The FBI warning screen comes up
on the screen for a few moments as the anticipation builds.
The SCW symbol again returns to
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.
The scene opens up to a shot of Jake Starr looking at the
SCW Championship in his hands. This is then countered with a shot of Thorn,
from behind, leaning against a locker.
“It is the opportunity every competitor dreams of. The
opportunity to finally show the world that they are the best...”
We then see a shot of Josh Hudson smirking in the stands of
an empty arena, before turning to a shot of CHBK posing in the middle of the
ring in an empty arena. Pyro goes off behind him.
“It is the opportunity that individuals hope to succeed in. To make history. To stand alone in their profession...”
We see a shot of Christian Savior nailing Shilo Valiant with
a spear, before fading to a shot of Karnivale standing as a whole inside a
circus tent, throwing various objects at each other.
“It is the chance to finally get what months
of waiting has lead up to. It is the chance to prove that you belong
where you sit...”
But then we see a shot of a barbed wire baseball bat, before
then turning to a shot of a steel cage.
“But it cannot be all....”
We then see a shot of Thorn being attacked in the backstage
area as Greg Cherry walks off, before we see a shot of Jake Starr leaving the
ring at End of the Year Special, SCW Championship in his hand. We then see the
shot of Thorn nodding and smiling at Jake Starr from the end of Breakdown.
“There comes the moment where something more is on the line.
It isn’t just to prove that one is the best. It is to prove you stand alone...”
We see a shot of Josh Hudson locking in the reverse bearhug
on CHBK and the blood coming up from inside CHBK. Sasha
Drachewych throwing in the towel is shown before we see a shot of CHBK locking
Hudson in the Katahatjme backstage at Body, Heart and Soul and Hudson
struggling to get out.
“There has to be the moment where more than just respect is
at stake. Anger. Vengeance. Payback.”
We see a shot of Savior smirking as we then see a shot of
Shilo Valiant glaring at him, before fading to a shot of Gable Winchester
kicking David Miller in the head from the February 17th edition of
Breakdown, which is followed by David Helms and Bishop Steele slowly getting up
as a bloody mess. This then fades back to a shot of CHBK and Josh Hudson before
fading into a shot of Thorn and Jake Starr and finally a shot of the SCW World
Championship.
“There has to be a time....for Retribution!”
The scene slowly reopens and we see a shot
houses on fire, before turning to a shot of the steel cage and then
turning and spinning around the picturesque view of a mountain in the distance
before the Retribution logo comes up on the screen.
“And now....Supreme Championship Wrestling
presents....Retribution!”
The shot moves right into the logo before opening up inside
the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The crowd cheers as pyro
shoots from the base of the entrance way, shooting repeatedly and loudly before
firing off quickly in succession in the middle of the rampway and then finally
around the big screen before the spotlights come out and start to circle the
arena. The cameras pan the crowd, showing several fans and banners as we then
hear Adam Sharper’s voice.
Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Las Vegas, Nevada. For once,
what happens in Vegas won’t be staying in Vegas. Hello again, I’m Adam Sharper,
alongside Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots and tonight, we’re going to see Thorn
finally get his opportunity to win the World Championship against his friend
and stable partner, Jake Starr.”
Dawson: “This is the shot that Thorn has waited for his
entire career. And it’s against a friend. Thorn may not be at one hundred
percent thanks to the Two for One Special and the attack by Greg Cherry, but
he’s going to be battling in that ring one way or another.”
Sharper: “And what about the huge thirty minute, ultimate
submission. It has to end in those thirty minutes. If it doesn’t, they walk
away. CHBK and Hudson meeting in that situation.”
Knots: “Yeah. And if you want to say high pressure situation,
you’d be right. Hudson has wanted to make CHBK tap like a drum boy since
October. This is his final chance and CHBK is going to do all he can to avoid
it.”
Sharper: “But can he? Last time they met, it ended badly for
the Heartbreaker.”
Knots: “Oh. It will again tonight.”
Dawson: “Four titles on the line tonight as well. Women’s
Championship. US Championship. Adrenaline
Championship and of course the World Championship.”
Sharper: “And speaking of the Adrenaline Championship, that’s
what we’re kicking things off with. Let start things off!”
Aaron Rupp vs. Masquerade
SCW Adrenaline Championship
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 in gothic
background while he tries on different masks, 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
Who’s 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 titantron shows more models 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 along with the Adrenaline title on his
waist. 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.
I'm not afraid
I'm not ashamed
I'm not ok
Welcome to the Masquerade!
Masquerade kips up and slowly takes off his trench coat, tossing it out of the
ring, and lets his vest fall a bit so he can show off. Removing the Adrenaline
title, he hands it to the referee. He then does it up his vest 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!
Dawson: “Masquerade, one-half of the reigning Tag Team Champions alongside
Shilo Valiant, making his first defense as the Adrenaline Champion against
Aaron Rupp. Rupp was one of the superstars involved in that World Title
Tournament, losing to Blake Mason in the first round; but his performance
there, along with his passion in the Ten-Man Tag back at the “2-for-1 Special”
earned him this incredible opportunity here tonight.”
Sharper: “Couldn’t have said it better myself, Jim. And this promises to be one
hell of a match, given the difference in styles. Rupp is a solid, grounded and
technical wrestler, while Masquerade is more of an iron-willed brawler with
wings. Unorthodox, innovative and unpredictable. He is
the ‘One Man Thrill Ride’ for a very good reason, as Rupp is about to find that
out first hand tonight.”
"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 trench coat 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 pyrotechnics explode behind him, just in time for the song to go
into the chorus. Once the pyrotechnics cease, Rupp heads down to the ring with
a focused and determined look on his face. He hops up onto the apron and enters
the ring, removing the trench coat and tossing it out of the ring as he stands
in his corner, arms folded across his chest as he waits for the bell to sound.
Sharper: “Rupp doesn’t look the least bit nervous about this match, and who can
blame him? …two tremendous showings back-to-back, and that
impressive win over Glacier to cap it off.”
Knots: “Big deal. I couldn’t care less if it was Aaron Rupp or Aaron Spelling.
Long as someone’s kicking the clown’s ass, I’m all for ‘em.”
The referee calls for the bell and both men lock eyes while beginning to
circle. Rupp lunges in with the lock up and wrestles for control, bringing his
knees up into Masquerade’s gut before switching to a side headlock. Masquerade
pushes him off into the ropes, and tries for a back elbow, but Rupp ducks
underneath and stops. Turning around, he snaps a kick to Masquerade’s knee,
then one to his gut before nailing a hard right hand. Masquerade answers back
with a shot of his own, then a second and a third and a fourth. He then hits a
knife-edged chop and a forearm shot to the side of Rupp’s head, knocking him
back into the ropes. Masquerade whips Rupp to the far side and leaps up with a
dropkick, catching Rupp on the chin. Masquerade pops to his feet and pulls Rupp
up too, only to take him back down with a snap-mare, then hit a dropkick to the
back of his head. Rolling away, Rupp gets to his feet and Masquerade meets him
with another hard shot, then a knife-edged chop and a shoulder thrust that
drives Rupp into the corner. Mounting the middle rope, Masquerade rains down
punches with the crowd counting along, until Rupp manages to waistlock him and
drop down with an inverted atomic drop. The crowd groans as Masquerade cups
himself, giving Rupp the opening to grab his head and smash it into the top
turnbuckle. Grabbing a handful of hair, Rupp does it again, before grabbing the
champion around the waist and throwing him over with a release German suplex.
Masquerade lands hard on the back of his shoulders before rolling over himself.
Coming up on his knees, he staggers to his feet, but Rupp takes him down with
another clothesline. Masquerade again pushes to his feet, but Rupp picks him up
from behind and drops him down into a backbreaker.
Dawson: “Aaron Rupp off to a monumental start here in
the early going. I don’t know if Masquerade has other things on his mind, but
Rupp has been one step ahead from the get-go.”
Sharper: “Unloading some heavy offense in the early goings, that German suplex,
plus the backbreaker; Masquerade is a tough, tough man, but that kind of
punishment builds up on you.”
Pulling the champion to his feet, Rupp spins him around and lifts him up with a
back suplex, dropping him down on the back of his neck again. Rolling to a
knee, Rupp grabs one of Masquerade’s feet and starts to tie him up in an STF,
but Masquerade quickly scrambles to the ropes, wrapping an arm around the
bottom cable. The referee orders the break and Rupp drops the leg… then stomps
down on the back of Masquerade’s head. Dragging him up, Rupp nails an elbow to
the side of the head, then a knee to the ribs that bends Masquerade double.
Hooking in a gut-wrench, Rupp throws him over with the suplex and floats
through into the pin.
One!
Two!
Sharper: “Kick-out at the two-count. Masquerade taking some serious hits here,
he needs to get his head back in the fight before Rupp takes it right off his
shoulders.”
Knots: “It’s the fumes. All those paint fumes. He’s too buzzed to know what the
hell he’s doing. I keep telling you those freaks are juiced up, but nobody
listens to genius.”
Dawson: “No comment.”
Rupp pulls Masquerade to his feet, and then snaps him down with an arm drag.
Dragging the champion up again, he spins through with
an arm wrench and drives his shoulder into Masquerade’s back, knocking him
forward into the ropes. Clutching his shoulder, Masquerade turns and barely
ducks a discus elbow from Rupp. Rupp turns, and Masquerade catches him with a
poke to the eyes, drawing a mixture of jeers and laughter from the fans.
Shaking out the pain in his arm, he buries a right hand into the side of Rupp’s
head, then stomps a kick into his knee, then snaps a high kick to the temple
that leaves Rupp reeling. Hooking Rupp’s head, Masquerade leaps onto the middle
rope and uses it to twist around into a tornado DDT, spiking Rupp on his head
in the center of the ring. Rolling through, Masquerade leaps onto the far-side
ropes and springs back with a moonsault leg drop across Rupp’s throat. Gasping
for air, Rupp rolls away, but Masquerade kips to his feet and catches him again
with a standing somersault senton. The crowds cheers, with a ‘Masquerade’ chant
building in the back as the champion gets to his feet and pulls Rupp up as
well. Single-hooking an arm, he drives Rupp’s face down into his knee, then
uses the recoil to take him down with a Russian leg sweep. Back-rolling to his
feet, he comes down with a double-stomp on Rupp’s forehead, causing the
challenger to cry out in pain.
Knots: “Oh, come on! …get up you baby! …you’re getting your ass kicked by a
CLOWN!”
Sharper: “That’s putting it mildly. Masquerade weathered the storm of Rupp’s
opening offense, and now has a chance to repay the favor… something he
obviously has every intention of doing.”
Dawson: “That speed was what got him the win against Greg Cherry on both
occasions. No reason not to rely on it now, especially since
Aaron Rupp is a far more dangerous grappler than the ‘Sensation’… though he’ll
probably want to argue that.”
Knots: “Well, duh! …wouldn’t you argue with someone who tried spreading lies
about you?”
Rupp rolls onto his stomach and starts to push up to his hands and knees, but
Masquerade stomps on one of his hands, then stomps a kick to the side of his
head, knocking him to the canvas. Reaching down, Masquerade pulls him up and
lifts him onto his shoulders before spinning out into a flapjack face-buster,
driving Rupp into the mat. Popping to his feet, Masquerade backs into the
corner and jumps up to the second rope, measuring Rupp as he starts to stand
before diving off with a flip-over stunner. Rupp’s body snaps with convulsions
as he collapses to the mat and grabs at his jaw. Masquerade gets to his feet
and takes a small bow as the chant of his name grows louder. Turning back to
the challenger, he pulls Rupp to his feet and whips him into the ropes, looking
to follow in with a spinning heel kick, but Rupp tucks into a roll, leaving
Masquerade to crash to the canvas. Turning hard, Rupp waits for Masquerade to
stumble back up to his feet before charging in and taking him down with a
vicious STO. Grabbing the back of his head, Masquerade rolls away, kicking at
the mat in pain before trying to get back to his feet. Coming in from behind,
Rupp tries for a bulldog, but Masquerade shoves him off, sending him into the
corner. Rupp’s legs slip through the ropes, causing him to straddle the post.
Knots: (Hysterical laughter) “Talk about a ‘Ruppture!’”
Dawson: “My God… I wouldn’t be surprised if he DID rupture something!”
Sharper: “Masquerade with a, well… maybe not a graceful counter, but an
effective one nonetheless, and now Rupp is in a whole new world of hurt.”
Laughing at Rupp’s predicament, Masquerade mocks him by cupping his own crotch
and hopping in place, drawing more laughter from the crowd. Pulling Rupp out of
the corner, Masquerade sits him on the top rope and climbs up behind him before
jumping onto his shoulders and driving him down with a reverse hurricanrana.
Hitting the mat hard, Rupp arches in pain as Masquerade vaults to the top rope
and turns, launching into the ‘Terminal Velocity’ swanton. Crashing down across
Rupp’s ribs, Masquerade immediately turns and dives into the cover.
One!
Two!
Th-NO!
Rupp manages to get his shoulder up at the last second. Stunned, Masquerade
grabs the outstretched arm and hammer-locks it, pulling Rupp to his feet and
shoving him into the ropes, driving his forearm into the small of Rupp’s back
as he bounces off. Grabbing Rupp from behind, Masquerade lifts him up and
drapes his feet on the top rope before dropping into a reverse DDT.
Dawson: “Masquerade still in firm control of this match… but Rupp still has
plenty of fight left in him. That bad landing took its toll, as did that
Swanton off the top, but he’s still hanging in.”
Sharper: “Rupp thrives on competition. There’s no way he’s going to stop until
he flat out can’t stand up anymore… and even that might not be enough.”
Bringing Rupp to his knees, Masquerade hammers him with a right hand, then
another, and another, and still another, leaving
Rupp’s head bobbing on his shoulders. Backing into the ropes, Masquerade tries
for a running kick, but Rupp catches the leg and stands up, pinning
Masquerade’s leg against his chest and throwing him overhead with a captured
suplex. A loud groan echoes from the champ’s throat as he smashes into the
canvas. Rupp drops to a knee, heaving for breath and shaking the cobwebs out,
while Masquerade slowly rolls to his knees. The crowd cheers for both men, with
‘Masquerade’ and ‘Rupp’ chants rippling through the arena as Rupp gets back to
his feet first and comes up behind Masquerade. Turning him around, he snaps a
kick to Masquerade’s thigh, then one to his gut before trying a dropkick.
Dodging to the side, Masquerade comes in with another right hand, but Rupp
blocks it and reverses into an arm-wrench. Masquerade spins out of it and into
a hammer-lock, shoving Rupp towards the corner, but Rupp jumps onto the middle
turnbuckle and back-flips over Masquerade’s head, catching him in an inverted
headlock. Turning to face him, Masquerade tries to counter again, this time
with a Northern Lights Suplex, but Rupp lands on his feet, leaving both men bridged.
Both men shift their holds and wind up bringing the other down with stereo
neck-breakers. Loud applause echoes through the crowd as both men roll away,
holding their necks in pain. Masquerade gets to his feet first, using the ropes
to pull himself up. Leaning against the ropes, he catches his breath.
Knots: “What the hell was all that?!”
Sharper: “Something new, that’s what! …Masquerade showing he’s got some
technical skills of his own with that exchange!”
Dawson: “Both men have been nothing but impressive so far. I still don’t know
who’s got the advantage. I would have thought Rupp, given your earlier comments
about his grappling talents, but Masquerade just opened up a little clinic of
his own right there.”
Turning around, Masquerade sees Rupp pulling himself up with the ropes. Coming
in behind him, he drives a forearm into Rupp’s back, then another one into the
back of his head, knocking him forward into the ropes. Pushing Rupp down onto
the second rope, Masquerade runs to the far side and bounces off, looking for a
leapfrog guillotine on Rupp’s back, but Rupp turns and digs his shoulder into
the champ’s gut before lifting him up for a back body drop. Twisting in
mid-air, Masquerade lands on the apron, but staggers a little. Turning around,
Rupp sees him and tries for a right hand, but Masquerade blocks it, and then
tries one of his own, that Rupp ducks. The punch turns Masquerade around,
giving Rupp a chance to grab his head and drop down with a modified
‘Paralyzer’. After bringing the champ down onto his knees, Rupp lets go,
causing the ropes to launch Masquerade off the apron. He smashes face-first
into the guardrail before bouncing off onto the floor; causing the fans to jump
to their feet with the chants of ‘Holy Shit!’
Sharper: “Jee-Zum Crow!”
Knots: “… did I honestly just hear you say that?”
Dawson: “Masquerade just went AIRBORN! …courtesy of that
double-knee backbreaker, and a little help from the ring ropes. Did you
hear the impact of his head off that steel railing?”
Sharper: “Oh yeah, his head’s gonna’ be ringin’ ‘till Christmas after that
one.”
Knots: “Yeah, yeah. The clown’s finally dead. That’s great… back to you,
Sharpie… what the hell did you say?!”
Lying on the mat, Rupp sucks in as much air as he can while the referee starts
the ten count, watching as Masquerade slowly rolls onto his knees, and uses the
guardrail to pull himself back up to his feet. Blood oozes from a gash in his
forehead, staining the side of his face a gruesome
red. Staggering over to the apron, he rolls under the bottom rope just as Rupp
starts to get back to his feet as well. The crowd erupts as both men fight to
their feet and come face to face. Rupp makes the first move, ducking to the
side and shooting for a double-leg sweep, but Masquerade just knees him in the
face and drives an elbow down into the back of his neck before shoving him back
into the ropes. He tries for a clothesline, but Rupp ducks underneath and jumps
onto the far ropes, springboard back with an enzuigiri that catches Masquerade
right in the face. The champ collapses to the mat as Rupp pushes to his feet
and stumbles over to the corner. Lifting himself onto the second rope, he steps
up to the top and comes off with a diving elbow, burying the point into the
center of Masquerade’s chest. Hooking the leg, he struggles to stack him up.
One!
Two!
Thre-NO!
Rolling off, Rupp stares up at the lights in shock as the crowd explodes, half
of them cheering for the champ, the others arguing the count. Masquerade turns
weakly onto his side, one hand clutching his chest as he crawls towards the
ropes, using them to try and pull himself back up. At the other side, Rupp sits
up enough to watch him, before rolling over onto his knees and forcing himself
back up as well. Both men wobble on their feet, but come back to the center of
the ring.
Dawson: “Adrenaline. Pure adrenaline. That’s the only
thing keeping these two up anymore.”
Sharper: “That; and one hell of a lot of pride, Jim. This is what makes SCW the
absolute best.”
Both men stare each other down, struggling for breath until Masquerade snaps in
with a hard right hand, then a second, followed with a knife-edged chop and a
stomping kick to the knee that forces Rupp down to onto one leg. Grabbing a
handful of hair, Masquerade nails him with another shot, and then another,
before pulling him up and whipping him to the ropes. As Rupp comes back,
Masquerade scoops him up and spins him out with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
Rupp screams in pain while arching his back, but Masquerade just turns him onto
his stomach and sits low on his spine, grabbing both of Rupp’s hands and
crossing them up with the ‘Straight Jacket’.
Knots: “Oh, for crying out loud… I thought this guy was some kind of wrestling
superman! …then why is the clown winning?”
Dawson: “Masquerade with the cross-armed choke on Rupp. Weak as both men are, a
submission victory is more than possible right now.”
Sharper: “Especially one like this. That’s a lot of pressure on Rupp’s back
right there, and both men have been looking to cause some real spinal damage
throughout this match. Rupp is in a bad, bad way right now… very bad.”
Gritting his teeth, Rupp fights through the agonizing pain as the referee
kneels beside him, asking for the cue. Shaking his head, Rupp pulls with both
arms, but Masquerade has a tight grip on his wrists, keeping his arms crossed
in tight against his throat. Leaning back even further, the champion tells the
referee to ask again, and again Rupp shakes his head in refusal. Squeezing his
eyes shut, Rupp strains to pull a leg in underneath himself, fighting for any
kind of leverage, but he starts to slump as he runs out of air. Smelling the
blood in the water, Masquerade pulls back even more, keeping Rupp’s arms
crushed up against his windpipe. Eyes drooping, Rupp struggles to get his leg
underneath him again, and finally manages to do it. Willing himself up onto his
knee, he tries to push Masquerade up, but Masquerade just jumps up and drops
down across the small of Rupp’s back, causing him to slump back down again.
Throughout the arena, the ‘Rupp’ and ‘Masquerade’ chants have picked back up
again, growing louder each time they echo through the building. Pulling his
other leg in underneath himself, Rupp starts to force himself to his feet.
Dawson: “He’s getting up?! …I do not believe what I’m seeing!”
Sharper: “I can’t believe what I’m HEARING! …the fans have no idea who deserves
this more!”
As Rupp struggles back to his feet, Masquerade lifts a knee to the small of his
back, using it to wrench back even harder on the ‘Straight Jacket’ choke. Yet
again, Rupp tries to pull his arms free, but Masquerade’s grip is just too
strong. Out of nowhere, Rupp suddenly jumps up and braces his feet on the top
rope, before kicking off and forcing Masquerade down to the mat, while Rupp
back-rolls over him and plants his feet. Now, the ‘Straight Jacket’ has
Masquerade trapped under Rupp’s shoulders, leaving him pinned to the mat by his
own submission hold!
Dawson: “Couter! …Counter! …the shoulders are down!”
One!
Two!
Three!
Sharper: “He did it! …He did it! …Aaron Rupp has just become the NEW SCW
Adrenaline Champion! …And Lord Almighty, has he damn well earned it!”
Masquerade struggles to break the submission, but it’s too late. The bell
sounds as “Hero” thunders through the speakers, but even the thrumming music is
no match against the crescendo of cheers from the thousands of fans now on
their feet, chanting both men’s names. Both Rupp and Masquerade struggle to
their feet as the referee collects the Adrenaline Championship and hands it over
to Rupp. Staring down at the golden plate, Rupp tears up, before raising the
belt high over his head, prompting an even louder ovation from the crowd, if
that’s possible. As Masquerade reaches his feet, he and Rupp stare down for a
moment, before Rupp shoulders his new title, and extends his hand. Masquerade
looks at it for a moment, before accepting the shake, as both men raise each
other’s hands. Breaking away, Masquerade exits the ring and makes his way to
the back, leaving Rupp alone as he continues to celebrate in the ring.
The scene opens backstage as we see CHBK walking through the
backstage area in the Thomas & Mack Center. He looks a bit concerned as he
walks through the area before walking over to an official with a clipboard. He
walks over.
CHBK: “Hey Jim.”
Official: “Hey CHBK...What’s up?”
CHBK: “Did you make any changes to the order of the card? I
thought that CHBK and I were going to be going on later in the evening. That’s
what you told me earlier.”
Official: “Yeah. I was told to move the match up a bit. Something about getting things over and done with.”
CHBK turns away a bit confused.
CHBK: “That’s odd, because I didn’t make the call, and Sasha
Drachewych isn’t here.”
Official: “Well neither of you passed the message on....”
CHBK just smirks and looks away.
CHBK: “Thanks Jim. You’ve been a big help.”
Official: “Don’t you want to know who-“
CHBK: “I’ve got an idea.”
Official: “Oh....okay....”
CHBK turns away, shaking his head as he walks down the
hallway. The crowd roars a bit as we go to the interview area.
Cue the backstage area most notably where the SCW superstars
stand as they get ready to enter the main stage. Standing in full view is
Jessica Winters SCW’s plucky reporter and standing alongside her is Lucas
Knight, but he’s not alone. Standing behind him is of course his wife Christy
and his muscle Nathan Slade who looks like a beast. All focus though is on
Lucas Knight as Jessica cut’s right to the chase.
Jessica Winters: ‘Lucas Knight, Monday night saw you compete with sixteen other
individuals for Rachael Foxxs Underground Title. You of course failed to win
that match and your opponent tonight did instead, then on breakdown you
violently assaulted Marcus V Lopez after you had won...’
Knight is laughing confidently as the interviewer carries on.
Jessica Winters: ‘Then finally Fred Debonair accepted the open challenge you
set on February Seventeenth, which leads me to my question. Are you feeling
confident heading into this match with a man who for all accounts and purposes
could well beat you?’
After that Luca’s laughter stops as he lowers his sunglasses to the bridge of
his nose, as he now focuses his attention on Winters.
Lucas Knight: ‘Firstly let me just thank you toots for the wonderful trip down
memory lane, I didn’t really need one but it’s good to see that there are some
pissants around this company who pay attention to what goes on. But I don’t
think I need to remind everyone why I did what I did to Lopez on Wednesday
night.’
Knight now fully removes the glasses and handing them to Slade before continuing
on.
Lucas Knight: ‘However what I intend on doing to that crack monkey Debonair in
just a few minutes is something else entirely. For you see this has been irking
me all week, that night at the two for one show was a travesty. Fred Debonair
was just lucky, and tonight that luck runs out after I make a prime example out
of him. By the time I’m through with him he’s going to wish he never called me
kid, let alone accept the open challenge.
Jessica Winters: ‘If you do pick up the victory tonight, will you be looking to
maybe set your sights on a future match for the Underground title?
Lucas just smirks at the question before looking at his wife then at Slade
before refocusing his attention back to Jessica once more.
Lucas Knight: ‘It never was about the belt, but never say
never. All I want to do is show that pissant and everyone else that one on one;
there isn’t a soul in this company that can beat me. It started with that crack
monkey Adam Riddick, then Marcus V, it now continues tonight with Fred Debonair
as I turn his streak into a skid mark!
Knight then winks at Jessica before walking off screen with his wife and muscle
shortly in tow, the three discussing some form of gameplan for the up and
coming match.
Fred Debonair vs. Lucas Knight
Out go the lights with a flick of a switch causing everyone
in attendance to wonder what's going to happen next, then without warning their
thoughts were answered with a booming voice over the P.A System while Gasoline
by Porcelain & the Tramps plays…
Don't get in my face
Don't invade my space
I'll put you in your place
I'll only tell you once
I'll never tell you twice
And this is me being nice
You cross me once and you'll see
It's like a match in gasoline
Gasoline
With the pyro erupting, the stage entrance lights up and pacing back and forth
like a caged animal is a silhouette of a man with a hood drawn over their head.
They then stop and in doing so the arenas lights illuminate once more and standing
there motionless is Lucas Knight. Shortly After we see
two more people step out from behind the curtain, Christy Matthews and Nathan
Slade. Christy Has a mic tucked away in her back
pocket for just a moment as she now removes it with a smile to the crowd.
Christy Matthews: Ladies and Gentleman, Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada. He
weighed in tonight at an incredible two-hundred and twenty-five pounds being
accompanied to the ring by Nathan Slade and myself Christy Matthews… LUCAS
KNIGHT!!
Knight throws his head back forcing the hood off extending his arms to soak up
the atmosphere which is full of jeer’s and boo’s. Thel ook on Knights face says
it all as all three descend the ramp towards the ring. When arriving at
ringside Knight slides in under the bottom rope and scales the nearest
turnbuckle only to remove his jacket and tossing it to the ground outside
pointing at his wife with a grin before hopping down and testing the ropes as
Nathan Slade Knight’s muscle stands by the ring watching the ramp like any form
of security would..
Knots: Jesus Christ look at the size of that guy, he makes Debonair look like a
lightweight and lets face it even I’m willing to admit the champion is no
lightweight!
Sharper: I have to agree with you there, this new muscle of Lucas Knights is
quite a sight.
Dawson: Even with that gorilla at ringside, Debonair has ten years of
experience in this business, I don’t think Nathan
Slade will be a problem in this match.
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 and chant his name.
Ring Announcer: Introducing his opponent, hailing from New York City, he
weighed in tonight at two-hundred and seventy pounds… He is your current
reigning SCW Underground Champion and King of Hardcore – FRED DEBONAIR!!!
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 only to stop and look at Lucas Knight’s
muscle who is staring right back at the Underground champion. In the ring
Knight is motioning for his opponent to enter with which he does just that, the
referee stopping Lucas from trying to gain any form of advantage with a cheap
attack.
Sharper: Great judgment there by the official now allowing Lucas to get any
cheap shots on Fred Debonair.
Knots: Knight doesn’t need cheap shots to gain an advantage; that was proven
Wednesday night against Marcus V.
Dawson: True, but on Monday night Knight failed to make any kind of impact
baring a few instances. Whereas that man right there Debonair won the damn
thing!
With both men now in the ring, the bell sounds thanks to the signal from the
referee and this match is officially underway. Knight is the first out of his
corner charging at Debonair who quickly follows suit, and the champion showing
off his strength shoulder blocks Knight sending him hard to the canvas. Knight
lays there for a moment looking up at Debonair who’s grinning and now motioning
Lucas to get up which he does loosening his shoulder while back up a tad.
Sharper: Show of strength there by the underground champion, taking Knight off
his guard a little?
Dawson: This shall be a interesting match to say the
least. Debonair has a forty-five pounds weight advantage, will it play a
factor?
Knots: I think that two-hundred and ninety pound monster outside the ring will
play a factor and I can’t wait for THAT to happen!
A small Deb-on-air chant starts up which obviously gets to Knight as he charges
at the Underground champion only to be taken down with a lariat, Knight rises
up quickly once more to be taken down with another lariat and this repeats two
more times before Lucas ducks under the last attempt and as Debonair spin’s
around Knight slaps the taste right out of his mouth. The slap doesn’t faze
Debonair in fact it looks to have pissed him off, and with it Knight exit’s the
ring fast with Debonair in hot pursuit.
Sharper: Hey Lucas where you going!?!
Dawson: Well it’s not for an evening jog I’ll tell you that!
Knots: It’s all part of his plan…
A small laughter emits from the crowd as Knight now slides back into the ring,
and as Debonair does the same he’s met with a boot to the face. Knight now
starts to drop some quick elbows to the back of the Underground champion before
using the rope to elevate himself higher than usual and drops down with a knee
to the back of Debonair’s neck. Knight then quickly rolls him over and
covers, but doesn’t even get a one count for his trouble.
Sharper: Quick cover there, a little too quick if you ask me. Debonair has made
a history of competing in hardcore themed matches so that won’t really affect
him at all.
Dawson: I think Lucas’s best bet is to try and wrap this match up as soon
as possible and get out of dodge.
Knots: Yeah, well I think you both need to shut up as quickly as possible! Come
on Lucas!
Like a hyena attacking its prey Knight stays on the offensive and begins to
choke Debonair with both hands over his throat before releasing and rising to
his feet. IT isn’t long before Debonair is on his feet and the two lock horns,
Debonair getting the upper hand as he drives a stiff knee to the gut of
Knights. He then applies a front face lock and lifts Knight up and holds him
there for what seems like an eternity and drops knight down with a hanging
suplex before covering of his own.
1…
Tw- Knight kicks out!
Dawson: Close but no cigar as Knight kicks out on two, Debonair not wasting
much time however as he carries on with the offense on the mouthy Brit.
Debonair pulls Knight to his feet and throws him into the nearby corner, then
after grabbing both middle ropes he begins to drive his shoulder multiple times
into the gut of Knights driving the wind right out of the Brit. As Lucas
stumbles out of the corner, Debonair locks his arms around Lucas and hurls him
back with a release German suplex for his troubles. However as Debonair moves
in for a possible cover or something probably worse for Knight, Slade Lucas’
muscle pulls him out of the ring so he can recuperate much to the fans
disappointment which is evident.
Sharper: There we go, the first time Slades involved and he helps Lucas avoid
getting pinned!!
Dawson: This is effectively three against one when you look at it, even though
we have yet to see Christy Matthews do anything to help Lucas win.
Knots: She is his wife, that’s all she needs to do support her husband!
The referee isn’t too happy either and starts to shout at Slade giving both him
and Christy a warning before ordering Lucas back into the ring. After a minute
or so of pacing back and forth and discussing what he should do next with his
wife and friend, Knight re-enters the ring slowly under the bottom rope
expecting the worse but Debonair just stands in the corner waiting patiently.
With lucas now in the ring and on his feet, Debonair
charges at Knight who ducks under the clothesline attempt, Debonair spins once
more to meet a kick to the gut and a ever quicker reply with a European
uppercut. Not giving any chance to recuperate Knight hits another European
uppercut sending Debonair into the corner.
Knots: Knight now on the offensive of his own now, about damn time… I mean – aw
damn it!
Dawson: Damn it indeed as Debonair doesn’t seem to be feeling them in the
slightest!!
Sharper: The underground champion is a beast at the moment; forget the man
outside the ring it’s all happening inside at the moment!!!
Lucas now in the corner, he hits a loud knife edge chop on
the Underground champion, then another and lastly one more. But they
only seem to enrage Debonair who reverses knight into the corner and starts to
unleash a tirade of open hand slaps and chops on Knights chest over and over
again. Knight’s face says it all, and even more as Debonair Irish whips Knight
into the opposite corner which Lucas leaps up onto the second rope and
springboards backwards attempting a splash only for Debonair to catch him in
mid-air and fall back with a fall away slam. We can now see as Knight Lays on
the canvas blood can be seen on the chest of Knight from the series of chops
and slaps from Debonair. The champ runs over and covers Knight.
1…
Tw- No Knight has his foot on the rope!
A quick replay shows that as the ref counted, Nathan Slade had put Lucas’ foot
on the ropes to break the count without the ref or Debonair
realizing.
Sharper: God damn it, Debonair might have stole the win there if it wasn’t for
Nathan Slade!
Knots: That’s why Lucas brought him to the ring, and if you ask me it’s a smart
move!
Dawson: You would think that wouldn’t you!
We then return to live action with Knight back to his feet holding his chest in
pain, but has no chance at resting as he’s Irish whipped into the ropes,
Debonair attempts another Lariat but Knight baseball slides through the
champion’s legs, and once more as he turns he’s met with a dropkick which stuns
Debonair where he stands. Knight kick flips to his feet and charges at the
ropes for added momentum but Debonair shakes the cobwebs he had momentarily
away and as Knight arrives he hurls him up in the air, but as Knight comes down
he plants the sickest DDT ever on the Underground champion!!
Knots: WHAT A DDT FROM KNIGHT!!!
Sharper: The Brit goes for the cover!!!
1…
Tw- DEBONAIR KICKS OUT!
Sharper: The impact must have rattled a few brain cells there of Debonair, but
not enough to earn the victory!!
Knots: Damn it!
Dawson: Lucas now sees the blood on his chest and looks pissed!
Knight can’t believe it as he holds his head in his hands before holding his
chest in pain. As he now notices the blood, Knight tries for another cover but
doesn’t even get a one count again. Rather than complaining however Lucas gets
to his feet and starts to shout at Debonair to do the same as he begins to
stalk him. The underground champions starts to stir and get to his feet, Knight
charges and attempts a Yakuza kick like he did on Marcus Lopez, but the
champion had it scouted and counters with a sickening gore of his own driving
the wind out of Knight who once more rolls to the ropes holding his gut in
agony. Back on his feet Debonair seemingly has had enough as he flips off Slade
whose standing on the outside waiting patiently with a scowl on his face,
Debonair then wink’s at Christy who scoffs at the thought.
Sharper: Debonair isn’t doing himself any favors, he
needs to focus on the man in the ring and not those two outside it.
Dawson: Couldn’t agree more with you!
Debonair laughs it off as he drops for the cover once more but as the ref goes
to count Debonair spots Slade walking towards the ropes and pulls Knight up to
his feet shaking his finger at Knights muscle. Now in the centre of the
ring, Debonair has Lucas right where he wants him and scoops the Brit up and
drops him down with a Piledriver before covering.
Knots: Holy crap, damn it!
Dawson: Hard impact move by Debonair, this thing could be over!!
Sharper: He covers!!
1…
2…
Thr- NO KNIGHT KICKS OUT!!!
Knots: Thank God!
Sharper: How did it kick out? Oh my, that was close!
Dawson: Knight’s a lot more resilient than we gave him credit for!
Debonair looks a little shocked that Lucas kicked out who’s now rolled over
onto his stomach still holding his chest in pain as well as the back of his
head. But even though that Lucas starts to get to his feet Debonair runs at him
while he’s resting in the corner, however Lucas using the corner leaps up and
sunset flips Debonair, but he doesn’t cover instead Knight uses the momentum to
get back onto his feet and with both of Debonair legs locks in the
Sharpshooter.
Knots: Checkmate!! He’s locked it in!”
Sharper: But Knight is too close to the ropes!
Dawson: I don’t think he cares!
Debonair is screaming but Lucas was too close to the ropes which Debonair grabs hold of, but Lucas doesn’t let go. The ref
begins the long count and Knight finally releases at the fourth count. Now
standing on the second rope Knight leaps off and drives a diving elbow drop to
the lower back of Debonair before rolling him over and covering.
1…
Tw- KICK OUT BY DEBONAIR!
Sharper: Good pin attempt after working the back some more there, but it wasn’t
enough to put Fred Debonair away!
Dawson: Lucas now wondering what he has to do to put him away.
Knots: Come on Knight, keep your head in the game!
Frustration is beginning to show on Knight’s face which if he had hair, would
surely start pulling it out. Knight pulls Debonair up and hurls him through the
ropes to the outside, but doesn’t follow instead he walks over to a turnbuckle
on the other side of the ring and begins to untie it which instantly grabs the
referee’s attention. On the other side however Slade is now stalking Debonair
who’s using the apron to help him up and as he rises to his feet, Slade grabs
the Underground Champion and runs him head first into the steel ring post
busting him open!
Knots: YES!
Sharper: Come on Ref! Keep some order here!
Dawson: You got to give credit to Knight; he created the distraction which gave
Slade the opening to attack Debonair.
Slade then rolls the champ into the ring and starts to head back over to
Christy, the referee notices him walking back and questions the muscle from the
UK but he just raises his hands up innocently. Knight however is stomping away
at Debonair and then mounts him and hammers stiff rights opening him up even
more. Lucas then pulls Debonair to his feet and throws another right, but the
next is blocked by the champions left as he socks Knight with a right of his
own. The two start exchanging blows as the crowd erupts with cheers for
Debonair who now has the upper hand and forces Knight to back up against the
ropes.
Sharper: Both men now throwing everything at each other hoping one will let up!
Dawson: And that’s Lucas Knight who does just that!!
Knots: No!
Debonair Irish whips Lucas to the other side of the ring and as he returns
catches Knight and lifts him up and drops him with a atomic drop before
charging to his left and on the return connects with another gore sending
Knight flying across the ring. Feeling the electricity from the crowd he goes
for the cover not thinking about anyone else.
1…
2…
Thr-NO! ONCE AGAIN SLADE PUTS KNIGHTS FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!
Sharper: This is absurd! God damn it ref!
Knots: Ha-Ha!!
Debonair shouts at the ref about Slades involvement but he didn’t see it, so
can’t do much about it. Pulling Knight to his feet Debonair applies a rear
facelock and drops to his knee locking in a dragon sleeper, Knights arms start
to flair wildly as the oxygen starts to get cut off. Debonair then turns it
into a bridging backbreaker pushing down on the head of knight who’s quick to
roll off holding his throat. The underground champ pulls Knight over and covers
quickly keeping an ever watchful eye on Slade who’s not moving at all now.
1…
Tw- KICKOUT BY KNIGHT!
Knots: Knight kicks out, showing just how tough he really is!
Sharper: I think watching Slade there may have aiding Knight more than Debonair
would have liked!
Frustration is starting to show a little more on the ten year veteran as he is
trying to figure out how to take Knight out and put him away for the victory.
Debonair then looks out at the crowd and grins as he hoists Knight to his feet
and out of nowhere hit’s his Debon-AIR! However he doesn’t go for the cover,
instead he looks at the crowd and then at the nearby top turnbuckle and climbs
through the ropes to the apron and starts to scale the turnbuckle.
Sharper: He hits the Debon-AIR. But what are you doing?!
Dawson: Go for the cover. Don’t go high-risk!
Knots: Move Lucas! Move!!!
While at the top, Knights wife Christy slides into the ring now making a scene
which the ref is quick to intervene trying to force her out of the ring.
However with the distraction in place from the side out of nowhere comes Slade
who pushes Debonair off the top turnbuckle, Lucas Knight rolls inwards to avoid
the falling Debonair who lands awkwardly. Lucas then springs up and covers the
downed Underground champion. Christy points at her husband and quickly exits
the ring, the ref turns and slides across quickly for the pin.
1…
2…
3!!!
The bell sounds as boos fill the arena as Lucas Knight’s arm is raised in
victory by the referee, upon a television replay we also note that during the
cover Knight had hooked the tights, and used the ropes with Slade also holding
Knights feet down making kicking out near impossible for Fred Debonair! With
the crowd making their thoughts felt, Lucas Knight is just grinning while
pointing to his temple signaling that he’s obviously smarter than everyone
else!
Sharper: I don’t believe it!! After all that talk about Christy not doing
anything, she was the instrument of this victory here for her husband!
Knots: God I wish I had a wife like that!
Dawson: Knight with the less than impressive victory here, but it’s a win
nonetheless as he seemingly outsmarted the underground champion and ended his
momentum!
As Knight celebrates with his wife and Slade he notices Debonair slowly getting
to his feet, and after pushing the referee aside Lucas runs and rolls over
applying a invertest STF on the Underground Champion, afterwards Nathan Slade
hits the ropes and connects with a sickening punt. The crowd are erupting with
boos as Knight releases the hold and rolls out the ring with both his wife and
muscle following.
Sharper: On come on! Was that needed!?!
Knots: Of course it was. He’s sending a message!
Dawson: God not that bat again!!!
Outside the ring Knight has found his steel cricket bat from under the ring and
contemplates what to do next. However after what transpired at breakdown the
decision seemingly was made for him as Security sprints to the ring from the
back forming a wall that Knight, Christy and Slade cannot cross. Lucas though
is just grinning as he points the bat at the Underground champion before making
a belt motion across his waist.
Dawson: Well it looks like Lucas has signalled his intentions on a championship
he’s interested in and it’s the Underground title!
Sharper: What a way to end this match with the assist from both Christy his
wife and Nathan Slade, followed THEN with a brutal attack after the bell. I
don’t think we’ve seen the last of these two locking horns together!!
Knots: I’m sure Lucas is counting on it, I know I am!!
The scene opens backstage to see CHBK walking backstage some
more as more cheers come from the crowd. He walks over to the locker room of
Infection and knocks on the door. He waits a few moments before just letting himself
in. He walks in and the cameraman follows him. Matt Bishop and Drachewych both
turn to him as CHBK just walks over.
Bishop: “Excuse me!”
Drachewych: “Matt....don’t worry
about it...”
Drachewych just smirks as he looks up at CHBK.
Drachewych: “So Alex....what brings you here?”
CHBK: “So you’re moving my match up. Why am I not surprised
you’d try something like this?”
Drachewych: “What are you saying? That I
purposely moved your match further. For me to get any gain, I’d have to
hope you’d be incapacitated.”
CHBK: “And you’re probably hoping that.”
Drachewych: “Now now....”
CHBK: “So what are you plotting with your daughter not here?”
Drachewych just smiles.
Drachewych: “You’ve gotten a bit biased. You assume I’m
always plotting.”
CHBK: “That’s because you are.”
CHBK then turns and walks off as Drachewych just smirks.
Bishop just walks over and looks at Drachewych as CHBK leaves.
Bishop: “So?”
Drachewych: “Now to wait...”
We then return to ringside.
David Helms vs. Damian Angel vs. Bishop Steele vs. Dillusion
Number One Contendership for the Underground Championship
The
screen suddenly goes to static and then there is a blast of pyro that falls
from seemingly the sky onto the entrance way with a giant crashing noise. “Wait
and Bleed” by Slipknot begins to pump through the arena speakers. The camera
moves into the entrance way where there is a large mass of fire. The fire grows
several feet high on the big screen it shows a figure kneeling in the center of
the flames. The figure slowly rises and looks directly at the camera as it
slowly zooms in. To reveal Dillusion eyeing the camera with a sadistic look he
steps forward through the fire. The Spectacular Ninja follows behind him,
waving his arms in front of his face and making karate noises as he strikes
poses to threaten the crowd. Dillusion smiles and then moves down the entrance
way looking through the audience. He licks his lips and then rolls under the
middle rope. He kneels in the center of the ring biting on his lower lip and
then leaps up to his feet rushing to the other side of the ring leaping up onto
the middle rope and making a gun sign and pointing out to the audience. The
camera moves in close as you can see his lips move forming the word “BANG”
which is followed by a massive explosion of pyro behind him.
Dawson:
“He may be the most unstable man to ever enter the SCW and he’s now being given
another opportunity with three other insane individuals to do damage.”
Knots:
“Get the Red Cross on high alert. This is not going to be a match where every
walks away fine!”
All is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a spotlight
drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll across the
video screen
INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….
The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the
keyboard starts again
SUBJECT: HELMS…
The background noise echoes loudly around the arena, becoming almost deafening
as tapping on the keyboard can be heard one last time.
EVALUATION: DANGEROUS…
The gunfire and sirens halt as the chanting intro of “Downfall of us All” by A
Day To Remember echoes around the arena. Two blue
fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp as the song’s riff
kicks in. The lights flicker back on and Helms can be seen on top of the arena,
His manager Johnny Ward by his side as he looks out into the audience that are
cheering loudly, chanting in some cases. He stops and smirks before throwing
his arms into the air, jumping and hitting the Self High Five as Johnny shadow
boxes at the side of him. As Helms lands, fireworks go off all the way down the
ramp before he resumes walking down the ramp, side by side with Ward, high
fiving fans. As Ward climbs the steps, Helms slides under the bottom room and
climbs the turnbuckle, one again raising his hands into the Self High Five. He
hops down and walks over to Ward who flicks a quick one two playfully on his
chin before dropping back down to the outside. Helms stands in the middle of
the ring and waits for the start of the match, while on the outside Johnny
starts to get the crowd behind his boy.
Dawson: “Helms right now not showing any signs from the
battle on Breakdown he had with his own ally, but no doubt he’s not at one
hundred percent.”
Sharper: “And don’t forget than all four of these guys were
in the Hardcore Invitational at Two for One Special. Helms and Bishop have been
involved in all three of these wars.”
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: “And think of some of the history within this match.
Some of the side stories. Dillusion and Bishop Steele
are hardly friends after their wars that led into the beginning of this year
and we know Jake Starr is unsure of Damian Angel. Bishop and Helms could be
looking to keep Damian out of his hair.”
Knots: “Yeah. But we’re still going to see everyone get the
hell beat out of them. And when that happens, I’m a happy man!”
The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the
introduction of the song...
Behind those eyes lies the truth and
grief
Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins
...During that verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp with
Autumn Daniels following behind him, inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at
the crowd, ...
...In the slight pause between the verse and the chorus, the lights in
the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes
up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel and Daniels to the ring...
...During the chorus, they begin their approach to the
ring...
Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel
...By the end of the chorus, Angel has rolled toward the centre of the ring,
pulling himself to one knee. Autumn waits on the ring apron while Damian runs
his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo,
immediately springing to his feet thereafter ...
Beyond these clouds you can hide all
your tears
Beyond this world you'll be safe from their wicked fears
And in their hearts they fear your demands
You know their minds won't accept you, they'll never understand
...As this verse goes on, Damian unfastens the clasps of his rope, letting it
hang open. Autumn steps through the ropes and runs her hands over Damian's
shoulders, pulling back on the robe until it is no longer on him. She steps
away, bringing the robe to the corner...
Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel
...Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them
together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell. He
repeats this process on the other three sides of the ring, and after the last
one he hops off the turnbuckle. Autumn, from the ring apron, rubs Damian's shoulders.
She then drops down as the crowd roars getting ready for the start of the
match.
Dawson: “One thing we haven’t mentioned is Dillusion and
Damian’s past history. They were together in the New Blood Rebellion.”
Sharper: “But things have changed dramatically since then.”
The bell sounds and Dillusion immediately runs at David
Helms, as Bishop runs after him. Damian leans back in
the corner as Dillusion nails Helms with a hard right and Bishop then grabs
Dillusion from behind and clubs him in the back. He then spins him around
before firing him out of the ring. Dillusion rolls through. He then gets up and
Bishop reaches through, but Dillusion nails him with an uppercut and Bishop
pops up before Dillusion grabs him and pulls him to the floor. Helms meanwhile
drops to the floor as Damian just watches, amused. Helms
quickly reaches under the ring and grabs a cooking sheet. He lifts it up
as Dillusion grabs Bishop and lifts him up before lifting him up and throwing
him down onto the barricade. Bishop staggers back and Dillusion turns around
and Helms nails him in the head with cooking sheet. The crowd ohs as Dillusion
drops down. He then starts to laugh before starting to get back up. Helms backs up and Dillusion leans against the apron and
Helms nails him in the head. Bishop then turns around and runs over and nails
Helms with a bicycle kick, knocking him back.
Sharper: “And this is where the stakes of the match come into
play. Helms and Bishop may be a team, but with an Underground Championship shot
on the line, they want that shot!”
Knots: “Fine by me. Let them destroy each other some more.
Spill some more blood.”
Bishop then turns and lifts Helms and drags him back up
before turning and walking him over to the announce table and driving him face
first. Helms spins around and Bishop then lifts him up and places him on the
table. Dillusion stumbles over and Bishop turns around and kicks him in the
ribs. He then grabs him and whips him hard into the steel steps. Dillusion hits
them hard and the top half topples over. Dillusion then leans on the steel
steps. Damian smirks and exits to the apron before looking down at Dillusion.
He then looks around before jumping up and hitting a double stomp to the back
of Dillusion’s head on the steps. Dillusion just rolls off, seemingly out of it
as the crowd ohs. Bishop turns and sees Dillusion and runs at him, only for
Angel to drop down and grab Bishop, flipping him into the barricade. The crowd
ohs as Bishop winces. Damian then gets up and turns and grabs a steel chair. He
folds it up before turning to Helms, who kicks him in the face. Helms rolls off
the table as Damian drops the chair. He then grabs Damian and drops him down
with a DDT into the chair. The crowd ohs and cheers a bit as Damian just
remains down. Helms rolls over and then reaches for the ring. He looks
underneath as Damian stirs.
Sharper: “A hard landing for Damian Angel as we could hear
his head bounce off that chair.”
Dawson: “Yeah and Damian, who was quite laid back at the
start, interjected himself and has quickly found the
tables turned.”
Helms then pulls out a trash can before lifting it up and
throwing it into the ring. He then reaches underneath and grabs a table and
smiles as he slides it out and then lifts it up and places it against the
ringpost. Helms turns around and stomps Damian in the
back of the head. He rolls over as Helms then drops down to his feet and then
reaches underneath and smiles a bit before pulling out another chair. He lifts
it up and slides it into the ring. He then turns and grabs Damian and lifts him
up and knees him in the ribs. Dillusion and Bishop stir
and Bishop turns and walks over. Damian is suplexed over by David Helms and he
winces. David turns around and Bishop suddenly grabs him from behind. He sees
the table before turning around and lifting Helms up and German suplexing him
through the table on the floor. The crowd ohs as David rolls over, out of it.

Damian pulls him off. Bishop rolls over and both men get up
and Damian attempts a hard right, but Bishop blocks it
and nails him with a hard right. He then spins him around and rolls him back
into the ring.
Knots: “Bishop’s got some ideas and with some weapons coming
into the ring, Damian Angel may not be liking his time
in this match.”
Sharper: “Helms may not remember he’s in the match. He landed
hard and he’s barely stiring now.”
Dawson: “His head may have even cracked off the ringpost for
all we know.”
Bishop rolls into the ring and Damian starts to get up.
Bishop turns and grabs one of the steel chairs. He then lifts it up and jams it
into the ribs of Damian. Damian winces and Bishop then grabs Damian by the head

Dillusion pulls out a roll of barbed wire and slides it into the ring. He then
grabs something else from under the ring and rolls in. Bishop stomps Damian in
the face before moving towards Dillusion and Dillusion swings with the lawn
gnome he has in his hands. A faint “Jerry!” chant begins.
Knots: “God damn it! It’s that damn gnome!”
Sharper: “Jerry! He helped him win matches in the past and
he’s here now.”
Dawson: “And apparently has rank over Spectacular Ninja.”
Knots: “Give me a break.”
Sharper: “And shockingly, Ninja’s been quite uninvolved so
far in this match.”
Damian stirs and Dillusion just turns his head before
blasting him in the back of the head, knocking him back down. Dillusion then
turns and places Jerry, standing up in the corner. Helms stirs on the floor as
Dillusion grabs the barbed wire and drags it into the middle of the ring. He
then grabs Bishop before kicking him in the ribs. The crowd starts to roar as
he lifts Bishop up a bit and then drops him down with a piledriver on the
barbed wire. The crowd ohs as Bishop rolls over, holding his head in pain. Some
blood can be seen coming from his head. Helms rolls over and stumbles up to his
feet. He then drops down to the floor again before pulling out a board of
barbed wire. The crowd roars in cheers. Dillusion meanwhile rolls Bishop over
and goes for the pin.

stopping him.”

any sized farms. Good lord.”
Damian rolls over and slowly pull
himself up. He walks around as Helms stirs. Damian looks around before turning
and seeing Bishop starting to get up. Damian smirks as he grabs the steel chair
and lifts it up. Bishop gets to his feet and Damian turns and nails him in the
head with the chair. The crowd ohs as Bishop just drops down, more blood
dripping to the mat. Dillusion stirs and Damian smirks before spinning the

his face. The crowd ohs as Dillusion rolls over and some blood starts to drip

Sharper: “Helms setting up the shop so to speak, but Bishop
may be the one taking advantage. “

a match like this, people will always be coming back until the very end.”
Helms starts to get up and Bishop turns and whips
him into the ropes again. Helms bounces off the ropes and Bishop lifts him up and places him down hard with a spinebuster

then turns and looks up as Dillusion then turns and runs across the ring. He
bounces off the far ropes and Damian hops onto the apron as Dillusion runs over
and catches him with a knee. Dillusion staggers back. Damian then jumps forward
and attempts a flying clothesline, but Dillusion catches him and drops him down
with a fujiwara arm bar, but Damian rolls through and kicks Dillusion back.
Both get up and Damian kicks him in the ribs before grabbing him by the head
and hitting a snap bulldog. At this point, Damian rolls over and Helms slowly
gets back up. Damian turns around and Helms suddenly puts something on his
hand. Damian grabs him but Helms nails him with some spiked brass knuckles. The
crowd oh as Damian goes down, blood starting to pour out. Helms
then drops down and mounts Damian nailing him with shot after shot after
shot.
Sharper: “David Helms going after Damian with a trick out of
his own book, those spiked brass knuckles.”
Knots: “They’re destroying his forehead and look at the blood
coming out after each shot!”
Helms gets up and starts to smile as he looks
around and the crowd gives him a bit of a mixed reaction. He then throws down
the brass knuckles before looking around. He then turns and goes over to
Dillusion as he starts to stir and Helms smiles as he grabs him. He then turns

winces. Helms then runs over and kicks him in the ribs before pulling the

rope and starts to climb up to the top rope. He then dives back and hits a
twisting senton onto the back of Dillusion. The crowd ohs and Helms rolls off. He then looks up and smiles as Dillusion remains
underneath the barbed wire. The crowd cheers Helms.
Sharper: “Good lord. Dillusion is buried under all of that
barbed wire!”
Dawson: “And he’s laughing! He’s enjoying it!”
Knots: “These guys are all sick. This is just insane! I love
it!”
Helms turns around and looks around before
looking at the bloodied bodies of his opponents. He then sees Bishop starting
to get up and grabs him before dragging him up. He nails him with a hard right
and then a chop. The crowd woos. Helms then grabs
Bishop and whips him into the ropes. Bishop hits the ropes, but then grabs the
top rope before stopping and pulling himself down. Bishop exits to the floor
and drops down. Helms then turns and sees Bishop pop back up and runs forward
only for Bishop to catch Helms as he tries a tope, but then throw him down to
the floor, covered in thumb tacks. The crowd ohs as Helms rolls over, yelling
in pain. Bishop falls back to a seated position, taking a few breaths.
Sharper: “What the hell? I never saw tacks there.”
Dawson: “I think we have a camera angle that shows it.
They’re just queuing it back up.”
As Bishop slowly pulls himself up, a side view comes out,
showing Bishop Steele dropping down and reaching under the ring before pulling
out a bag quickly and just expelling its contents, thumbtacks on the mats
before throwing it back and then getting up. The crowd roars seeing this and
Bishop slowly re-enters the ring.
Knots: “There you go. These guys just have everything figured
out.”
Sharper: “Think about how much of this was placed out here
earlier. Think about how well they know the ring area throughout the course of
the match.”
Dawson: “What about the quick thinking too...”
Damian Angel slowly stirs as he enters the ring. Dillusion
comes out from under the barbed wire as Bishop Steele rolls into the ring. David
Helms stirs on the floor as Steele gets up and grabs Dillusion, but Dillusion grabs him and hits a reverse STO. He then turns and looks
over at Damian. The Spectacular Ninja appears again and we see Dillusion
yelling at him. Ninja then drops down to the floor and looks underneath before
pulling out a bottle of lighter fluid and a lighter. Ninja turns and starts to
pour the contents of the bottle all over the table as Dillusion stomps Damian
in the ribs. He then kicks him in the ribs. Damian falls to his knee. Helms
stirs and rolls in slowly as he then grabs a steel chair in the process. Ninja then
backs up as he lights the table on fire and the crowd erupts in cheers.
Dillusion then runs into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes before running
towards Damian, but Damian lowers his head and launches Dillusion in the air
before causing him to fall through the flaming table. Dillusion rolls out,
rolling over as a couple of ring crew member run over with fire extinguishers
and put the table and Dillusion out. Damian then turns around and David Helms
throws the chair at his head and then hits the Nightmare on Helms Street. He
then turns and rolls the legs up and into a pin.

The crowd cheers and David Helms rolls over. He looks up and
then leans against the ropes. The referee walks over and raises his arm.
Sharper: “David Helms wins an opportunity at the Underground
Championship!”
Knots: “He’s got his chance, but Dillusion may get a one way
trip to the hospital room.”
Dawson: “All four of these men may. Good lord. This was
carnage. But Helms walks out the winner and has an Underground Championship
shot.”
Helms slowly starts to pull himself up as Bishop Steele starts
to gets up as well. Damian remains down as Ninja tries to help Dillusion up in
the rampway. He stirs as Helms smiles and looks around as we go backstage.
Backstage, we see Marisa Condolesa standing next to Jake Starr
and Thorn who stand on either side of her. The crowd cheers upon seeing them.
Condolesa: “Well we’ve just seen one member of the Social
Misfits successful and we’re guaranteed to see another. Later tonight, we will
see you, Thorn, take on you, Jake Starr for the SCW
Championship. And both of you clearly are friends and have been looking forward
to this, but Thorn, you have not been at one hundred percent.”
Thorn: “And people keep saying that. I may not be at one
hundred percent. I may have been just millimetres from blindness. I may have
been jumped by Greg Cherry at Breakdown. But I’m not going to pass off this
chance to be World Champion. Plus, given the fact, that I will be facing Jake
Starr for that opportunity, is even better. Now Jake, I know you’re not going
to take any of this personally. Because well, I know at the end of the tonight,
win or lose, all will be good. But I am going to do what I can to win my first
SCW Championship and I’m going to do all I can to show that I deserve this
shot.”
Condolesa turns and slowly looks over at Jake Starr.
Jake: “Well Thorn...I don’t really need to say much
more....except bring it. Because everyone else has walked into the ring for my
title....they’ve walked out on the losing end. So Thorn, bring it. I look
forward to the challenge. And afterwards....loser buys the drinks.”
Thorn just smirks as Condolesa just turns to the camera.
Condolesa: “Still friends to the end. Back
to ringside.”
Rachel Foxx & Alex Desoubrais Jr. vs. Hurse & Rick Rohl
“House of the Rising Sun” plays throughout the arena and the crowd
starts to cheer as the curtain moves and we see Hurse walk out from the back, a
bit smile on his face. He looks around before turning back and Rick Rohl walks
out behind him, somewhat unimpressed. Hurse smacks him affectionately on the
back before moving forward and starting to make his way down to the ring. Rick
Rohl walks down after him and Hurse runs over to the ring and slides in. He
then slowly gets up before walking around as Rick Rohl walks over to the ring
and pulls himself up onto the apron. He then enters the ring and walks around
as Hurse runs over to the corner and climbs up to the middle rope and throws
his arms in the air. The crowd cheers a bit as Hurse then drops down as Rick
Rohl continues to walk around the ring.
Sharper: “The product of the wonders of couples
therapy. These two are going to take on a very pissed off Rachel Foxx and her
boy toy Alex Desoubrais Jr.”
Knots: “Well, maybe this is the therapist’s way of getting
rid of Hurse. I know he’s a moron and he’s quite annoying. Maybe
humanitarianism has finally entered the psychiatric profession.”
The
lights in the arena go completely dark as the eerily quiet intro of "L1FEl!KE" by Karnivool begins playing over the loud
speakers. As the intro echoes 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 and Alex Desoubrais Jr. walk out the wall of blue sparks. The crowd
boos upon seeing them and Rachel Foxx and Alex Desoubrais Jr. then start to
make their way to the ring as Rachel laughs. The two continue on their way to
the ring. She then gets to the ring and jumps onto the apron as Alex Desoubrais
Jr. rolls into the ring. Rachel Foxx slowly steps in
and Alex Desoubrais Jr. turns and stops her, seemingly calming her down a bit.
Rachel Foxx glares at Hurse over Alex’s shoulder before slowly stepping back
and exiting to the apron.
Dawson:
“How about that? Alex Desoubrais Jr. calming Rachel Foxx
down.”
Sharper:
“And I thought Rachel was the one with all of the power in the relationship. I
guess I was partially mistaken.”
The
bell sounds and Hurse stays in the ring as Rick Rohl exits. Alex Desoubrais Jr.
turns around and the two lock eyes. Hurse walks
forward and Alex Jr. walks forward before suddenly kicking Hurse in the knee
and nailing him with a hard right. Hurse staggers back and Alex Jr. nails him
again. He then grabs him and whips him across the ring. Hurse bounces off the
ropes and jumps up and nails Alex Jr. with a flying shoulder block. Both men
get back up and Hurse grabs Alex Jr. and takes him down with a headlock
takedown. Alex Jr. attempts for a headscissors, but Hurse turns away bit. Alex
Jr. winces and then grabs Hurse and rolls him over for a pin, but Hurse lets go
and rolls over to his feet. Both men roll over and get up and Hurse kicks Alex
Jr. in the ribs before hooking his head and taking him over with a vertical
suplex. Alex Jr. rolls over and starts to get up as Hurse grabs him and helps
him up.
Knots:
“Damn it! Hurse is going right after Alex Jr. This is more aggressive than
we’ve seen from him in a while.”
Sharper:
“I’m a bit surprised because considering what happened on Breakdown when Hurse
was nearly attacked by Rachel Foxx after just talking to her and wishing her
luck.”
Hurse
nails Alex Jr. with a forearm and pushes him into a neutral corner. He then
nails Alex Jr. with another forearm before nailing him with a back elbow to the
jaw. Alex Jr. winces and Hurse grabs him and wrenches the arm. Hurse then pulls
him down to the mat before jumping up and stomping at the shoulder. Alex Jr.
winces and Hurse turns and pulls himself up onto the middle turnbuckle. Alex
Jr. rolls over and starts to get up only for Hurse to dive forward and drive
his elbow into the back of Alex Jr.’s head. Alex Jr. rolls over and Hurse drops
down for the pin.

Jr. reaches up and rakes the eyes. Hurse turns away
and walks down the ropes, near Rick Rohl before turning around and Alex Jr.
jumps up and dropkicks him in the jaw.
Dawson:
“Hurse getting his eyes raked and Alex Desoubrais Jr. taking advantage.”
Sharper:
“You see how close Hurse came to Rick Rohl. They may be less antagonistic to
one another, but that was a perfect chance for a tag to avoid this and Rohl
didn’t take it.”
Knots:
“Maybe he’s just too dumb to think that far ahead.”
Hurse
gets back up and Alex Jr. kicks him in the ribs. He then grabs him and whips
him into the ropes. Hurse bounces off the ropes and Alex Jr. turns and nails
him with a back elbow and then hits an elbow drop. Hurse winces and Alex Jr.

Dawson:
“And Rachel is not one to mess with. Especially now.
She’s hardly in the mood to mess around.”

leans on the ropes and Rachel Foxx turns around and runs into the far ropes.
She bounces off them before running back towards Hurse and jumping up and
landing on his back with both of her knees. She hops back and Hurse falls back.

into the ropes and Rachel gets up and he clotheslines her down. The crowd cheers and Hurse then walks around the ring.
Rachel starts to pull herself up.
Sharper:
“Hurse coming back now. He’s still one of the best overall minds in the game
despite his being a bit off.”
Knots:
“A bit off. That’s like saying that Canada is a bit north of here.”
Dawson:
“Despite that, his win-loss record speaks for itself.”
Rachel
turns around and Hurse kicks her in the ribs. He then drives her down with a DDT. Hurse then rolls over and looks over to Rick Rohl and

guillotine leg drop to the back of Rohl’s head. The crowd ohs and then boos as
Rohl rolls off of Rachel and Alex Jr. gets up smiling.
Sharper:
“A bit of a sacrifice there and Rohl takes out Rachel and Alex Desoubrais Jr.
takes advantage.”
Dawson:
“They are crafty, but again, they also are in some ways realistic. They’re

around at the carnage around them. The boos continue as Rachel and Davis both let
out a laugh and Alex Desoubrais Jr. just smirks as the scene fades to black.
The scene opens with a blue light flashing down on a steel
mesh fence. This suddenly fades to a shot of Asher Hayes locking in the Dream
Killer on the top of the Tactical Warfare cage. This is followed up by a shot
of The Real Speed throwing Jay Gold into the side of the cage. We seen the camera start to continue to go around the cage.
“It is a structure built for pain....built for chaos....but
yet for order as well....”
We see a shot of Shawn Winters hitting the Graven Image
inside the Tactical Warfare cage, followed by a shot of Phoenix hitting the
Into the Ashes on Cid Turner. This is followed by a shot of CHBK hitting the
Bittersweet Ending on Alex Desoubrais Jr.
“It is a structure built to remove all unneeded
variables...a structure for equality....but a structure for tests....”
The camera then suddenly pulls away from the close up views
and shows the entirety of the Tactical Warfare cage before slowly fading out.
The Tactical Warfare logo then comes up on the screen.
“SCW presents Tactical Warfare, live on Sunday, April 18,
2010...only on Pay Per View!”
The crowd cheers as we return to the live shot of the Thomas
& Mack Center.
Sharper: “Tactical Warfare returns next month on Pay Per View as we are live in the Staples Center in Los
Angeles. It’s going to be huge.”
Knots: “I remember last year’s Tactical Warfare. If that was
any indication, this is going to be insane!”
Chris Lawler vs. Adam Riddick
"Remember the Name" by Fort Minor hits over the PA
System and the crowd roars in boos as Chris Lawler comes out from behind the
curtain and stands at the top of the entranceway with a huge smile on his face.
Lawler starts to make his way down to the ring and the crowd boos even louder
as Lawler smirks and taunts them and talks trash to them. Lawler slides into
the ring and then taunts the crowd and gets ready for the match.
Dawson: “Ladies and Gentlemen, we are about to witness a war.”
Sharper: “That’s putting it mildly. No disrespect to the Underground
contenders, but these men are going to rip each other
limb from limb in a matter of minutes. For the past month, we’ve watched the
tensions grow and the temperatures rise… now it’s time for the eruption.”
Knots: “Let just hope it’s one of ‘your’ eruptions, Sharpie.”
Sharper: “Excuse me?”
Knots: “Yeah. According to your wife, they don’t last long.”
The all-too-familiar piano begins to play. The lights slowly fade until there
is nothing but darkness. A spot-lit 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: “This all started when Riddick blind-sided Lawler backstage.”
Knots: “What did you expect? …the man was moving in on his wife!”
Sharper: “They’re old friends!”
Knots: “Technicalities!”
As Riddick hands off his sunglasses, Lawler charges in with a brutal lariat,
catching Riddick in the back of the head and knocking him to the canvas.
Looking down at the shades, Lawler crushes them beneath his boot before laying
the stomps to the side of Riddick’s head, forcing him to roll away and struggle
to his feet. As Riddick stands he’s met with a hard right hand, then a second
and a third, before Lawler drives a back elbow into the side of Riddick’s jaw.
Dazed, Riddick tries to answer back, but Lawler blocks it and unloads another
right hand, before driving a kick to Riddick’s gut, knocking him back into the
ropes. Riddick rebounds off the ropes right into Lawler, who sweeps him up and
plants him with a pinning sidewalk slam.
One!
Riddick immediately gets the shoulder up. Getting to his feet, Lawler pulls him
up to his knees and drives a bionic elbow into the top of his head, then blasts
him with another right hand before scooping him up and slamming him down to the
mat. Arching his back in pain, Riddick tries to roll away, but Lawler leaps up
and comes down across his back with a brutal knee drop.
Dawson: “Lawler is just dominating the start of this match. He’s got Riddick
down, hurt, and working at his pace. The ‘Rocker’ needs to stop this onslaught
or he’s got no chance.”
Sharper: “Adam Riddick has not had the best luck since making his return. He’s
oh-and-three right now, including that hard-fought loss to Blake Mason on the
last BreakDown! …Still, I doubt the win means a damn thing to either of these
men compared to simply destroying the other.”
Knots: “That’s why they’re both losers. Winners KNOW winning is everything.”
Pulling Riddick to his feet, Lawler backs him up into the ropes and drives a
right hand into the side of his head, then lifts a knee into his ribs. Whipping
Riddick to the far side, Lawler lunges forward with a big boot, but Riddick
ducks underneath. Hitting the ropes again, Riddick comes off with a shoulder
block, knocking Lawler to the canvas. Pushing to his feet, Riddick immediately
drops an elbow into Lawler’s heart, followed by a second, and then a big leg
drop across his face, causing Lawler to roll away in pain. Lawler gets to his
feet and Riddick comes in with a forearm shot, but it’s blocked. Both men lock
up, and Lawler begins to force Riddick back into the corner, pushing his head
back over the turnbuckle with a claw-hold. Grabbing at Lawler’s wrist, Riddick
tries to free himself, but Lawler brings a knee up into his gut, and then clubs
him across the back of the neck. Grabbing Riddick’s head in both hands, Lawler
hurls him back into the turnbuckles. Riddick bounces off and Lawler catches him
with a belly-to-belly suplex, throwing him out into the center of the ring. Arching
in pain, Riddick rolls to his knees and gets up just in time to duck a
clothesline from Lawler. As Lawler turns around, he’s met with a dropkick to
the knee from Riddick, sending him down into the mat face-first. Riddick gets
back to his feet and pulls Lawler up as well, locking both arms before driving
him down with a double-arm powerbomb. Still holding Lawler’s legs, he flips
over into a bridged pin.
One!
Two!
Th-NO!
Dawson: “Lawler with the shoulder up; and Riddick’s looking to do some damage
of his own.”
Sharper: “He took a real beating in the opening minutes, but the ‘Rocker’ knows
how to fight through the pain better than anyone.”
Getting to his feet, Riddick stomps at Lawler a few times, and then drops down
with a head-butt, causing Lawler to cry out as he rolls away, cupping his skull
with one hand. Charging in, Riddick grabs him and swings out into a
neck-breaker, again pulling a scream of pain from Lawler, who rolls under the
ropes and out onto the floor. A few of the ringside fans mock him from behind
the guardrail, but he ignores them while catching his breath. Turning back to
the ring, he’s caught with a diving cross-body as Riddick slingshots himself
over the ropes. The crowd roars in approval as Riddick pulls himself to his
feet and again stomps a mudhole into Lawler’s ribs. Reaching down, he pulls him
up, but Lawler shoves him back into the steel post, before crushing him with a
body splash. Grimacing, Riddick staggers away from the pole and Lawler sweeps
him up before turning and spine-busting him down across the steel steps!
Dawson: “Good God! …did you hear the thud of Riddick’s spine against those
steps?”
Sharper: “I did… and I wish I hadn’t. What a sickening, sickening sound!”
Knots: “Are you kidding?! …that was beautiful! …I wish I had that on my iPod!”
Reaching back, Riddick rolls off the steps onto the mats, crying out in pain as
he struggles up to his hands and knees. Stalking up behind him, Lawler drops an
elbow into his back, then rolls to his feet and does it again, drawing more
cries from Riddick each time. A cruel smile cuts across Lawler’s face as he
pulls Riddick up and whips him into the guardrail, following in with a
thunderous clothesline that knocks the ‘Rocker’ over the fence and into the
crowd. Rolling into the ring to stop the count, Lawler drops back down onto the
floor and crosses to the fence. As he reaches for Riddick’s hair, he’s caught
with a snapped jab to the jaw. Riddick snaps off another one,
then a knife-edged chop before grabbing Lawler’s head and smashing it down into
the guardrail. Dazed, Lawler tries for a back elbow, but Riddick blocks
it and smashes Lawler’s head into the steel fencing again. Lawler slumps
against the guardrail as Riddick motions the crowd back to give himself room. Running up to the fence, he grabs Lawler’s head and snaps off the
‘Silver Lining’ as he flips over the guardrail. Landing hard on the
mats, Riddick rolls away with a grimace of pain, as Lawler’s body convulses
from the impact. Inside the ring, the referee reaches a count of five as
Riddick struggles to pull himself to his feet. Grabbing the bottom rope, he
pulls himself up onto the apron and slides into the ring to stop it, before
dropping back out onto the floor again. Lawler has gotten to his knees and is
trying to push himself to his feet. Riddick comes up behind him and kicks him
in the ribs, knocking him over onto his back. Heaving a few much-needed
breaths, Riddick pulls Lawler to his feet and rolls him back into the ring.
Climbing up onto the apron, and then up onto the top rope, he measures it up
before coming off with a frog splash… but Lawler rolls out of the way at the
last second. Bouncing over onto his back, Riddick curls up and clutches his
ribs, groaning out loud while trying to suck the air back into his lungs. Not
far away, Lawler lays motionless facedown.
Knots: “Oh, this just keeps getting better and better!”
Dawson: “Sarcasm or not, Knots, you ain’t kiddin’! … Both men taking a severe
beating outside the ring, but Lawler just bought himself
a second wind by avoiding that splash from Riddick.”
Sharper: “Obviously, that hurt his ribs, but you have to think about the shock
he took to his spine with that landing. Lawler almost crippled him on the floor
and a big impact like that with nothing to pad it? …that’s not good. Not good
at all.”
Standing between them, the referee continues the ten count as Riddick crawls to
the corner and uses the turnbuckles to drag himself to his feet. Lawler begins
to struggle to his knees as well. Pushing out of the corner, Riddick stumbles
over to Lawler and begins to pull him up, but Lawler buries a right hand into
his injured ribs. He nails a second one, then an elbow causing Riddick to
stagger back. Lunging up to his feet, Lawler connects with a stiff uppercut
that snaps Riddick’s head back and stuns him long enough for Lawler to smash a
double axe-handle to the top of the head, dropping Riddick to a knee. Tucking
his head between his legs, Lawler pulls him up and spikes him with a jumping
piledriver, before slumping into a haphazard cover.
One!
Two!
Th-NO!
Rolling onto his back, Lawler roars in frustration before sitting up and
climbing to his feet, grabbing a handful of hair and pulling Riddick up with
him. Depleted, Riddick tries to land a few shots to Lawler’s ribs, but they
have no strength. Cupping Riddick’s head, Lawler smashes it with a head-butt,
not just once, but twice, before lifting the man high over his head with a
gorilla press. The crowd jeers at the threat of the ‘Lawler Cutter’, but
instead, he walks over to the corner and drops Riddick down across the top rope
throat-first. Riddick’s body crumples to the mat as he struggles for breath.
Lawler pulls him up and shoves him back against the turnbuckle, unloading with
hard right hands and stiff kicks to the gut, before whipping him across to the
far corner. Charging in after him, Lawler spins and smashes back-first into
Riddick’s ribs, injuring them even further as the ‘Rocker’ slumps to the canvas
in sheer agony.
Sharper: “Brutality. Sheer brutality. That’s all this
match has been from the start!”
Dawson: “Lawler is just intent on breaking every last bone in Riddick’s body,
starting with those ribs… if he hasn’t already. It’s gotta’ be getting hard for
Riddick to breath by now.”
Sharper: “Not only that, but with his ribs weakened that badly, there’s no way
he can support Lawler’s weight for that burning hammer of his.”
Knots: (snoring sounds) …huh… wha? …aw, come on… is this match still going?!
Dragging Riddick to his feet, Lawler lifts him up and sits him on the top
turnbuckle before climbing up onto the second rope. Tucking Riddick’s head
beneath his arm, he pulls them both up to the top, setting up the super-plex.
Hooking his foot in the ropes, Riddick blocks it as best he can, struggling to
break loose. Driving hard punches into Lawler’s ribs, he pulls his head loose
and jams his shoulder into Lawler’s gut. Knocked off-balance, Lawler staggers
for a minute, before his foot slips and drops him down crotch-first on the top
rope. The crowd groans in sympathy as Riddick slides down off the turnbuckles.
Hunched over, Lawler is too weak to stop Riddick from shifting him onto the top
turnbuckle. Pulling Lawler across his shoulders, Riddick drops down with a
sloppy burning hammer, dumping Lawler on his head.
Dawson: “That’s how he’ll get it! …Edge of Reason on the ‘Music City Mauler’!”
Sharper: “Super-Plex backfires on Lawler, and Riddick leaps in for the pin!”
One!
Two!
Three!
The crowd boos as Adam Riddick rolls off. He then turns and
looks at Chris Lawler as he slowly has his arm raised.
Kassie Khane reluctantly applauds before looking up at Adam Riddick. Riddick
smiles as he then raises both of his arms and then motions for Kassie Khane to
enter the ring. She looks a bit unsure but does so anyways, hopping onto the
apron and entering into the ring. She then walks over to Riddick and applauds
as the crowd continues to boo.
Sharper: “Well as Adam Riddick and Kassie Khane celebrate, we
are about to see a match that will be very different. Thirty minutes. Ultimate Submission. Hudson wants to make history.”
Dawson: “He’s got thirty minutes to do it. He needs to make
CHBK tap in that time, or he loses his chance.”
Sharper: “Let’s look at how we came to this match here
tonight.”
A recap video plays showing Hudson trying to get the
attention of CHBK by making people repeatedly tap out after matches. This is
followed by the ending of the Gang Rulz match where Sasha throws in the towel.
We see the negotiations for the match including Sasha Drachewych being banned
from the arena and the announcement of the match.
CHBK vs. Josh Hudson
Thirty Minute Ultimate Submission Match
“Love
Me or Hate Me, It Doesn’t Make a Difference" can be heard throughout the
arena, as it echoes through the PA system and then it breaks into “Lie". Out
from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson. He stops atop the entrance
ramp, and looks out into the crowd and nods his head yes, and then begins to
head down to the ring. He ignores the various boos and the middle fingers and
trash talk from the fans, walking down the ramp with a smirk on his face. He
continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his
face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares
out into the crowd, smirking, before dropping down and sitting against the
turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.
Sharper: “And this is the match many of us have been waiting
for. Josh Hudson has wanted to make CHBK tap more than anything in the world.
He wants to make history.”
Knots: “And he’s got thirty minutes, unopposed, and without
any obstacles.”
Sharper: “But after those thirty minutes are up, it’s over.
He’s out of luck. He needs to make CHBK tap during that time period.”
“This is How a Heart Breaks” plays
throughout the arena and the crowd immediately starts to cheer. CHBK walks out
from the back with his arms outstretched and pyro shoots out from the sides of
the entrance way. CHBK then walks down to the ring as the crowd continues to
cheer. He reaches the ring and runs up the steel steps and onto the apron. He
takes a few steps before entering the ring and spinning around a few times. He
then stops in the center of the ring and poses in the center of the ring
leading camera flashes as pyro shoots out of the ringposts. He then takes off
his entrance attire and places it on the outside before turning around and
Hudson nails him with a hard right. CHBK staggers back and Hudson walks over
and nails him again as the referee calls for the bell.
Sharper: “And here we go! Hudson’s not wasting time.”
Dawson: “Didn’t even wait for the bell to ring and he’s not
even going for a hold. He’s just trying to knock CHBK around!”
Hudson kicks him in the ribs and nails him with another hard
right. CHBK ends up in the corner and Hudson moves forward and nails him with a
shot to the ribs and then another as CHBK winces with each blow, focusing on
the taped ribs. Hudson then kicks him in the ribs before lifting him up and
nailing him with a chop to the chest. The crowd woos as CHBK winces. Hudson
then pushes back and starts to choke CHBK in the corner. The referee moves in
and starts to call for the break.
1!
2!
3!
4!
Hudson lets go and turns to the referee, walking right up to
him and he backs away. He then turns around and walks over to CHBK and CHBK
lunges and nails him with a chop. The crowd woos. He chops him again and the
crowd woos again before CHBK spins Hudson into the corner and then nails him
with a hard right. CHBK then moves up and climbs to the middle rope and nails
him with a couple of hard rights, but Hudson pushes him off. CHBK hits hard and
rolls back. Hudson then runs out of the corner and attempts a
hard clothesline, but CHBK ducks. Hudson stops and turns around and CHBK
lunges, attempting a superkick, but Hudson falls down to the mat immediately
and CHBK stops before quickly grabbing the legs of Hudson. Hudson starts to
move back towards the ropes as the crowd roars. Hudson manages to get to the
bottom rope and hugs it. CHBK slowly backs away before then looking at Hudson.
Hudson slowly starts to pull himself up to his feet on the apron.
Sharper: “Very close to Hudson being knocked unconscious.”
Dawson: “While that won’t necessarily get a fall, it can
prevent a submission hold from being blocked.”
Knots: “And Hudson almost got the worst case scenario. Middle
of the ring and almost had CHBK lock something in on him.”
Hudson gets up on the apron and then steps through the ropes
and slowly walks in. He then starts to move forward and CHBK suddenly drops
down and lifts Hudson up. He pushes him back into the corner and then nails him
with a shoulder thrust to the ribs. He backs up and nails him again. He backs
up and hits him a third time and then backs away before nailing Hudson with a
hard uppercut. Hudson staggers out of the corner and CHBK quickly snapmares him
down and then he gets him in a waistlock and rolls over, turning Hudson to his
side. Hudson winces as CHBK continues to squeeze as the referee checks on him.
Sharper: “This is a smart move early in this match. CHBK showing his experience. This wears down the ribs of
Hudson, limits his breathing, but also allows CHBK to protect his ribs.”
Knots: “But this is definitely just going to piss Hudson off
and with twenty eight minutes to go, CHBK isn’t going to keep this on forever.”
Dawson: “Nor is Hudson going to just sit there and take it.”
CHBK keeps the hold on as Hudson winces. He tries to push up,
but CHBK squeezes hard and Hudson winces and falls back to the mat. He looks
forward before rolling over and getting to a seated position. CHBK sits up and
tries to drive his elbow into the face, pushing it back, but Hudson shakes it
off. CHBK then tries to grab Hudson, but Hudson shakes again and then attempts
to nail CHBK with an elbow, but CHBK is too far back. Hudson then tries to push
CHBK’s legs apart, but CHBK leans back and keeps squeezing. Hudson winces and
smacks the mat in frustration and CHBK squeezes again and Hudson looks around.
The crowd starts to lull a bit as CHBK keeps the hold on. He continues to keep
it on, only for Hudson to start to move a bit, but CHBK continues to be enough
dead weight.
Dawson: “Hudson doesn’t know what to do. It’s a simple hold.”
Knots: “Well yeah, Hudson got CHBK out on a different
variation of this.”
CHBK keeps the hold on and Hudson then turns and nails him with a hard
elbow to the leg. CHBK winces a bit, but holds on. Hudson then rears back and
nails him again. He then nails him a third time and CHBK loses his grip enough
for Hudson to roll out of it. He winces and holds his ribs a bit. CHBK rolls
over and starts to get up, limping a bit before walking to the corner and
shaking out the leg. Hudson gets up and he turns and then runs at CHBK and CHBK
moves out of the way as CHBK drives him into the corner. Hudson staggers back
and CHBK then hoists him up and throws him back with a back suplex. Hudson
rolls over and CHBK then turns and knees him hard in the ribs. Hudson rolls
over and CHBK then starts to pull himself up. Hudson gets up slowly as he
starts to pull himself up.
Sharper: “Hudson managing to get out of that hold by going
for the leg, but CHBK is being very cautious. He’s letting Hudson be the aggressor.”
Knots: “Well of course. He made it clear on Breakdown. Hudson
needs to beat him, not the other way around. And Hudson’s going to do
everything he can to do that!”
Dawson: “And plus, given CHBK being unsure about Drachewych
and his motives, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s looking to keep himself in
good enough shape to stop that.”
Hudson gets up and CHBK walks over and kicks him in the ribs.
He then nails him with a hard right before whipping Hudson into the ropes.
Hudson spins through and sends CHBK into the ropes. CHBK bounces off the ropes
and jumps up and hits a flying forearm. He then turns and nips up as Hudson
rolls over. He slowly gets up and CHBK kicks him in the ribs before grabbing
him and going to lift him up for a gutwrench, but Hudson turns and takes CHBK
down with a leg takedown. With CHBK on his stomach, he then grabs the leg of
CHBK and lifts it up before smashing it into the mat. CHBK winces and rolls
over and Hudson stomps him in the leg. He then turns and stomps him in the ribs
as CHBK rolls over. The crowd boos as CHBK starts to lift himself up over in
the corner, but Hudson just walks over and kicks him in the ribs then the leg
and then stomps away at the ribs over and over and over again. The crowd boos
as CHBK ends up in the corner, downed. Hudson then walks around before then
turning around and running at CHBK and hitting a running dropkick to him. The
crowd ohs as CHBK just falls over, holding his ribs. Hudson rolls over and
smirks.
Sharper: “And Josh Hudson may have just gotten his break.”
Dawson: “Going after the ribs. Going after
the leg. He’s going after anything he’s put any sort of target on.”
CHBK starts to slowly lift himself up and Hudson walks over
and grabs CHBK. He then pulls him in and knees him in the ribs. CHBK winces and
Hudson then gutwrenches him up before spinning around and driving him down into
his knee, stomach first. CHBK rolls over, holding his ribs in pain. He starts
to stir. Hudson then grabs CHBK and hoists him back up before lifting him up
and placing him down hard across his knee again. This time, however, he pushes
down, driving his knee into the ribs of CHBK. CHBK winces as the crowd boos.
Hudson continues to push down as CHBK continues to struggle.
Knots: “And now for CHBK to go to hell and feel like hell.”
Sharper: “Hudson driving his knee into the ribs of CHBK and
we know those ribs are not at one hundred percent.”
Hudson pushes down a bit and CHBK tries to grab the leg. He
continues to pull on it before managing to extend it. Hudson loses his grip and
falls down before pulling Hudson down to the mat. CHBK attempts to grab the
leg, but Hudson pushes back with his other leg. Both men get up and Hudson
nails CHBK with a hard clothesline. The crowd ohs and CHBK
rolls onto his stomach. Hudson walks around before then looking at CHBK.
He then walks over and stomps him in the back of the head. He then turns and steps over CHBK before lifting him up and drags him up to
his feet before clubbing him across the chest. CHBK winces. He staggers back and
Hudson spins him around. He then knees him in the ribs again. CHBK falls down
to his knees.
Dawson: “Those ribs have to be killing him. Hudson just keeps
targeting them.”
Knots: “And don’t forget the leg which he already went after
a bit.”
Sharper: “Hudson came in with a plan. So did CHBK. But it
seems that Hudson is starting to win out here.”
Hudson then grabs CHBK and lifts him up again before lifting
him up onto his shoulders. He then goes to lift him up, but CHBK turns and
lands on his feet. He nails Hudson with a hard right, but Hudson then kicks him
in the ribs. He then turns and runs into the ropes. Hudson bounces off the
ropes and CHBK stands up and goes for a clothesline, but Hudson counters with a
spear. CHBK rolls over, holding his ribs in pain as Hudson rolls over and
smirks. The crowd boos and Hudson then walks over and as CHBK gets up, grabs
him from behind in a reverse bearhug. The crowd starts to roar and Hudson tries
to pull back, but CHBK jumps up before twisting and grabbing the tights of
Hudson and dropping to the mat, using the momentum to throw Hudson through the
ropes and to the floor. The crowd cheers and CHBK slowly gets up. He then turns
and climbs up the turnbuckle to the top rope. Hudson slowly starts to get up on
the floor and then turns to the ring only for CHBK to dive off the top rope and
hit a double axe handle smash to the head. Hudson falls to the mats as CHBK
falls to his knees and looks up.
Dawson: “CHBK takes a chance and it works out, knocking
Hudson down. But CHBK also saved himself.”
Knots: “Yeah. That reverse bearhug had been put on, it was
over for CHBK!”
CHBK then pulls himself up and Hudson rolls over and slowly
starts to get up. He then spins him around before then pushing him back and
driving him into the ringpost. The crowd ohs as Hudson yells in pain. CHBK then
turns and spins him around before lifting him up and hitting a back suplex into
the barricade. The crowd ohs as Hudson rolls over, holding his back and head in
pain. CHBK rolls over and slowly gets up. He then turns to Hudson and as Hudson
holds his head, CHBK grabs him and then turns and rolls him into the ring.
Hudson rolls over and CHBK slowly slides in afterwards.
Sharper: “What did that back suplex do? Head and neck and
back all against the barricade, driven into it.”
Knots: “CHBK may just be looking to make it so Hudson is
injured, not necessarily ready for a submission.”
Hudson rolls over and slowly starts to get up and CHBK looks
at him before turning and running over and hitting a swinging neckbreaker.
Hudson rolls over and winces in pain. CHBK then sits him up and grabs the head
of Hudson. He then grabs him by the head and pulls him up in a dragon sleeper.
The crowd cheers as CHBK pulls back. Hudson drops back as the referee moves in
to check. Hudson shakes his head as CHBK continues to pull back. Hudson
continues to fight as he starts to grab CHBK around his waist. He starts to
move around, but CHBK tries to plant his feet, but Hudson decides, despite the
risk to greater leverage, jumps off the middle rope and backflips back and
around CHBK. He then counters by locking CHBK in a dragon sleeper, but instead
of holding on by standing, he drops down to the mat and scissors him, bringing
him down to the ring and the crowd starts to roar before booing and CHBK
manages to move his feet forward enough to grab the bottom rope. He continues
to hold on as Hudson keeps the hold on for a few moments.

Hudson lets go and rolls back as CHBK rolls over. He winces,
holding his ribs a bit and then slowly starts to get up, but Hudson grabs him
and then hits a gutwrench suplex. CHBK rolls over and Hudson then walks over
and grabs CHBK and lifts his knees before driving it into his ribs.
Sharper: “And back to the ribs.”
Knots: “And with that dragon sleeper that Hudson locked in,
as did CHBK, that had to stretch out the ribs and cause some extra pain.”
Dawson: “No doubt. And you can see now that both are taking a
few more chances.”
Hudson then bends over and grabs CHBK and lifts him up. He
then kicks him in the ribs before then hoisting him up and suplexing him onto
the top rope. CHBK winces and Hudson then walks over to the corner. He pulls
himself up to the middle rope and looks over and smirks before jumping up and
hitting a leg drop to the back of CHBK’s head, knocking him back up and over
and into the ring. Hudson then turns and sits CHBK up and grabs him before
lifting him up. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. CHBK bounces off
the ropes, but Hudson then runs at him and buries his knee into his ribs. CHBK
flips over and holds his ribs in pain. The crowd boos as CHBK slowly starts to
get up.
Dawson: “Those ribs have a huge target painted on them and
Hudson continues to focus right on them.”
Knots: “Yeah and CHBK isn’t going to be able to hold on
forever.”
CHBK gets up and Hudson kicks him in the ribs. CHBK falls to
his knees and then starts to pull himself up and Hudson kicks him again. CHBK
winces again. Hudson just smirks before he turns and whips him into the ropes.
CHBK bounces off the ropes and Hudson scoops him up and into a tilt-a-whirl
ribbreaker. The crowd ohs as CHBK rolls over, clearly in agony. Hudson just
smirks as he walks over and then stomps CHBK in the back of the head.
Sharper: “And with now we’re just getting around the ten
minute point into this match, it’s just showing that it may be too much for
CHBK.”
Dawson: “Yeah. CHBK is being decimated and Hudson’s sense of
urgency is gone. He knows he has CHBK under control.”
CHBK starts to get back up and Hudson stomps him in the back
of the head again. CHBK rolls over and then starts to pull himself up and
Hudson grabs him and clubs him in the back. He then turns and knees him in the
chest. CHBK winces and Hudson then scoops him up before dropping him down in a

Sharper: “CHBK bring driven into that ringpost and just
grinding against that.”
Knots: “Those ribs aren’t going to be in one piece when
Hudson is done. He’s just going right for them and continuously going after
them. CHBK should just tap and this is over for him.”
Dawson: “I doubt that. Hudson could then make him tap again.
There’s still twenty minutes to go.”

offense in for the last few minutes. This has all been Josh Hudson.”
Knots: “He’s younger. He’s better. He’s more talented. What’s
surprising by this?”
Sharper: “Well if he’s so good, CHBK is putting up the fight
of his life. He’s forty-six, but the former five time
Champion has yet to tap.”

back, causing the arm to torque in an awkward way.

to show Hudson down.”

clearly in pain and notice, he’s getting distance.”
Knots: “Smart move. Hudson gets his hands on CHBK and it’s
over. Nearly has been multiple times.”

in pain!”

on the ankle and knee. Imagine an armbar, but on your knee. That’s what
CHBK is doing here.”

the canvas. CHBK slowly rolls over and Hudson walks over and stomps him in the
head. He then turns to the clock and then starts to walk around the ring,
clearly unsure of what to do. He then turns to CHBK and starts to dare him to
get up.

stumbles around, trying to do anything as Hudson keeps trying to step on the
leg of CHBK, forcing him down. CHBK remains on his feet, moving, avoiding that.
Knots: “Come on! Scissor him! CHBK is fighting it. But stop
him!”
Sharper: “Katahatjme! He’s trying for the same hold, CHBK took him out with at Body, Heart and Soul!”
CHBK continues to move before Hudson manages to trip him up
and force him down to the mat. He then scissors him as the crowd roars and then
boos. CHBK reaches forward, trying to grab at the ropes, but Hudson keeps pulling
back. He continues to keep the hold on with as much force as possible. The
crowd continues to go crazy as CHBK continues to reach forward. Hudson keeps
pulling back and CHBK looks as if he’s about to tap as he extends his hand, but
Hudson just keeps pulling back only for CHBK’s arm to drop. The referee looks
at CHBK and checks on him before grabbing the arm. He then lifts it up and it
drops. He lifts it up for a second time and it drops again. He then lifts it up
for a third time and it drops. The referee turns and the bell sounds once to signify a pin. Hudson just looks at the
referee before then noticing that CHBK didn’t tap. He turns to the clock as the
clock now continues under twenty seconds.
Sharper: “Hudson has a fall! CHBK is unconscious from the
hold! The Katahatjme has incapacitated him!”
Knots: “But that’s not a submission!”
Dawson: “But it counts as a fall!’
Hudson starts to frantically look at CHBK. HE starts to yell
at him loudly enough for the cameras to hear him.
Hudson: “Tap! Damn it! Tap!”
Hudson then lifts up the arm and starts to tap it against the
arm, making it seem that CHBK is tapping but the referee says know. He tells Hudson to let go and Hudson continues to
shake the arm, hoping that CHBK will just start to tap as the crowd counts
down.

The bell sounds and Hudson lets go before falling to the mat
with his hands up to his face. The crowd roars before boos come from all over.
The referee then turns and points at Hudson before walking over and raising his
arm in victory.
Sharper: “Hudson wins the match, but he didn’t make CHBK
tap!”
Knots: “No...he was so close!”
Dawson: “Hudson had the Katahatjme locked in perfectly and it
did what it’s intended.”
Sharper: “And CHBK is unconscious! Hudson
realizing that too late. He had the move to defeat CHBK, but not to make
him submit!”
Hudson rips his arm away. He looks around, clearly unsure
before turning to CHBK. He then stomps him in the back of the head. He stomps
him again and again and again before grabbing him. CHBK however is out of it,
so he just yanks him up before lifting him up as best as he can on his shoulder
and drilling him with a Go 2 Sleep out of frustration. The referee walks over
and tries to stop him, but Hudson just nails him with a hard right. He then
turns and grabs CHBK and hoists him up back up before lifting him back onto his
shoulders and throwing him forward and hitting another Go 2 Sleep. The crowd
ohs as CHBK rolls over back onto his back, completely out of it. Several
officials run down to the ring as they immediately step in between Hudson and
CHBK. Hudson just looks down at CHBK and looks around before slowly stepping
back and then dropping down to the floor. He slowly walks around the ring,
still in disbelief.
Sharper: “Hudson has snapped. This was not how he thought
tonight would go.”
Dawson: “And he leaves with a win...but not in the way he’d
like it.”
Sharper: “And there is no round three...”
The scene then cuts backstage as we see Madison Steward
standing backstage in the Steward locker room, with Paris Dannon who sips on
her drink.
Madison: “Where the hell is Gigi? Katie said she’d be here. I
want to know-“
Paris: “Listen kid. It’s probably best you drop it. Any Steward...you
talk to them and it’s just not going to end well for you.”
Madison: “But Gigi was my friend-“
Paris: “Again....just don’t.”
Just then the door opens and Madison looks up before looking
a bit angry, and then recomposing herself. We see Gigi walk forward and look
down and look at Paris.
Paris: “Don’t mind me. This is my third drink.”
Madison: “Gigi...”
Gigi: “Yeah...Madison.....sorry...”
Madison: “Sorry?”
Gigi: “Yeah....well....sorry...”
Madison: “Um....why though? I don’t care about sorry. I just
want to know why. I thought you’d be happy that I was going to try and bring
the title home.”
Gigi just looks down, fumbling for some sort of response just
when we hear the door open again and Gigi glances back before looking a bit
confused. Paris looks up and then smirks.
Paris: “Oh hell no...”
Just then we see Robin Brooks walks forward as the crowd
roars in boos.
Robin: “So....uh...I’ll put it this way. I’ve been told I’m
allowed back. And well, where’s Katie?”
Paris: “On her way to the ring.”
Robin: “Oh. Well....what are we doing back here?”
Paris: “She wants to prove she can do it herself.”
Robin: “Heh....I need to see this. Come on
Gigi...Maddy....something tells me we’re going to enjoy this.”
Gigi: (muttering under breath) Thank God...”
Madison just looks at Gigi still as Robin turns and walks
over to the couch and Gigi quickly follows. Madison just shakes her head as she
walks around and we go to ringside.
Blake Mason vs. Katie Steward
Dawson: Blake Mason versus Katie Steward is out next match
and this one could get ugly real fast. And with Robin here...this is going to
get interesting.
Sharper: Careful Dawson, remember TJ is going to be joining us, but as for
Blake and Katie they have firing their words back and forth all last month and
it came to a head at the 2 for 1 Special in an 8 person tag, but tonight is
where the final draw is going to take place.
A "Blake Mason" sign lowers from the ceiling, stopping just above the
entrance to the ring. Dimmu Borgir - Perfection or Vanity plays as Blake Mason
struts from the backstage area. He walks half way down the ramp. He stops to
absorb the crowd react he is currently getting. He clenches his right fist,
raises his fist in the air. Not a second later the sign lights up in a huge
pyrotechnic display. The sign is now beaming gold, the crowd's jeering gets
louder at Blake's larger then life entrance He struts down to the ring, fans
booing him as his pyro is still going off. The pyro finally stops just before
Blake Mason slides into the ring. He walks over to the nearest turnbuckle and
stretches, waiting for his opponent to arrive
Dawson: Blake Mason in the ring waiting for this match to start.
Knots: Blake Mason is on a big roll in the SCW. He’s beaten top guys like Shawn
Winters and just recently Adam Riddick. Tonight he looks ready to add Katie
Steward to that list.
The lights in the arena dim and Katie is heard laughing as “My Addiction” by
Kids of Survival plays on the speaker system. Pink lights fly around the arena
as images of Katie Steward are seen on the video screen getting the SCW Fans
out of their seats and on their feet. Katie Steward emerges from behind the
curtain wearing her long white coat and a shiny tiara rests on her beautiful
blonde hair which is now has black streaks running through it. Katie smiles at
the live crowd and poses on the stage and it gets rise out of fans.
Katie starts her walk down to ringside as TJ Johnson steps out from behind the
curtain and follows her. They make it halfway as a fan at ringside catches
Katie’s attention with fans signs that start to bother her, but ends letting
roll right off her. Katie laughs at the fans as TJ Johnson jumps out in front
and grabs a sign from the fan and he exchanges a few choice words with him.
After a few intense moments with the fan, Katie continues her way to the ring.
At ringside, Katie folds her arms over chest and looks back at TJ Johnson as he
run by and quickly enters into the ring and grabs the microphone from the ring
announcer. He waves them out of the ring. Katie fixes her hair at ringside and
walks over to the steel ring step and awaits her introduction.
TJ Johnson: Silence! Your Queen needs your full and undivided attention.
Finally the reason why we are all here tonight… She is The Queen of Queens, The Goddess of Desire, The SCW’s Crown Jewel. Get your
cameras and video recorders ready for… KATIE STEWARD….
The camera returns to Katie Steward standing at ringside as she fixes her coat
and looks up spreading her arms out and smiles big for her glorious
introduction as the fans already begin their booing. Katie walks up the steel
ring steps and walks on the apron. She bents down enters the rings under the
middle rope. She walks over to the opposite corner of ring and climbs onto the
ropes and takes off her coat revealing her beautiful wrestling attire to the
live crowd as the fans snap a shot of their Goddess. Katie jumps down and walks
to the other corner and climbs up on the middle ropes as the lighting returns
to normal and the music dies and Katie does one last pose for the fans to get
their shot.
TJ Johnson steps out of the ring and heads over and joins the announcer team
for some unbiased journalist.
Dawson: Katie Steward looks ready and focuses on the match in hand.
Knots: She didn’t take kindly to Blake recent words against her about being
only out for herself. She can’t wait to get her hands around Blake’s neck.
Johnson: Dawson, Sharper, Jonathan doesn’t Katie looks stunning tonight and she
is going to be even more beautiful after she gets rid of the nothing Blake
Mason.
The referee signals for the bell and it rings throughout the arena to start the
match. Katie walks to the center of the ring and already she starts to give
Blake an ear full. Katie sticks her finger out and points it and Blake shouting
orders and demanding that he begs her to take him back.
Dawson: Katie Steward is shouting instruction to Blake Mason. This is not going
to go over to well for her sake.
Blake starts to laugh at Katie who only makes her madder and she jams her
finger into his chest and her instructions get louder. Katie turns away and
then quickly spins back trying to slap Blake across the face to make him
compliant to her orders, but Blake sees it coming and catches Katie’s arm as
her hand is inches away from his face. Katie stares face to face at a smiling
Blake as he holds onto her wrist and her eyes opens wide with terror.
Sharper: Katie now is getting a handle on the situation she is in. This is one
man that no longer obeys her every wish.
Johnson: Lies! Katie is about to break Blake’s will just watch.
Katie pulls her arm away from Blake, but he holds on tight to her wrist. Katie
struggles to get away from Blake and pulls her arm again and break Blake’s grip
on her. Katie stumbles back to the ropes as she rubs her wrist wear Blake was
holding on and she turns back to Blake who throws a punch at Katie and stops
half way through it as Katie cover her up and drops to her knees trying to
shield herself from Blake’s attack. Katie moves her arms away from her face as
she looks up at Blake who is now telling her that she is going to be begging
for him.
Sharper: I don’t think Katie had this in mind when she was thinking of how the
match was going to go.
Johnson: Blake Mason is out of his mind if he actually thinks he is going to
get Katie Steward to beg for him.
Katie starts to crawl away from Blake and talking to him to let her get back to
her feet. Blake starts to stalk Katie as she continues to crawl to the ropes
and Blake then makes his move and reaches for Katie to grab her, but she rushes
with a low blow to Blake.
Johnson: Ha! Yes! What a strategist she is. No one is more brilliant than her.
Dawson: Uh TJ, what isn’t Blake Mason doubling over and holding onto the family
jewels?
Johnson: What?
Katie stares face to face with Blake who leans forward and smiles at her as he
holds onto her arm just inches away from connecting with a low blow. Katie
tries to pull away, but Blake grabs her. Katie lets out a scream while Blake
throws her over his shoulder and carries her around the ring. Katie kicks and
screams trying to get down and the fans stand on their feet cheering for Blake
to slam her.
Johnson: Don’t listen to these ugly people in Nevada. Take your hands off our
Queen at once!
Dawson: Blake Mason has Katie Steward right where he wants her. I think he is
going to carry her right over the threshold.
Katie struggles to get down as she kicks and screams while the fans start a
chant of “Slam Her”. Katie screams “No” as Blake hits
a side walk slam and plants Katie in the middle of the ring. Blake then rolls
over and covers Katie for the pin.
1…
2…
Katie kicks out right after two count.
Dawson: Blake Mason with a beautiful sidewalk slam gets a 2 count on Katie
Steward.
Johnson: Shut Up, there was nothing beautiful about that.
Katie tries to roll away from Blake, but he grabs her and holds her back on the
mat for another pin attempt.
1…
2…
Katie kicks out as the referee’s hand was coming down for the 3.
Sharper: Blake Mason is looking for the win tonight. He isn’t messing around.
Katie pushes Blake off of her and she rolls away. Katie gets to her feet
quickly before Blake can get to her again. Katie spins around to catch an on
coming Blake approaching her and she manages to kick him in the gut to stop
him. Katie follows up by grabbing Blake’s arm and spinning herself around and
twists the arm of Blake causing him to flip forward. Katie runs over to Blake’s
legs and picks them and she tries to apply some kind of submission hold, but
Blake uses his legs to push Katie back and knocking her to the mat.
Dawson: A different Katie Steward we are seeing tonight. Trying
to go for a submission hold on Blake Mason.
Johnson: Katie Steward is one of the top submission specialists in this
business.
Sharper: How do you manage to say that with CHBK and Josh Hudson happen to be
on the same card tonight?
Katie starts to get back up and she holds the back of her head as it smack on
the mat. She stumbles a bit as Blake is up on his feet and he grabs Katie and
sets her up for a suplex. Blake lifts Katie up into the air and holds her there
for a few seconds. The fans oh and awe as the blood rushes to Katie’s head and
finally Blake falls back finishing the Suplex on Katie. She lays
on the mat lifelessly as Blake rolls over and covers Katie for the pin.
1…
2…
Katie kicks out again right when the referee’s hand was coming down for the 3.
Dawson: Katie Steward still with us after Blake Mason hits a perfect Stalling
Suplex. Katie has to shake it off if she is going to try and beat Blake.
Katie rolls over and crawls to the ropes shaking her head. Blake gets up and
grabs Katie’s foot and drags her back to the center of the ring. Katie lets out
a scream as Blake takes Katie’s legs and tries for a figure four leg lock. Blake
crosses the legs, but gets close enough for Katie to catch him and rolls him into a small package for a quick pin.
1…
2…
Blake Mason kicks out right after 2.
Dawson: Katie and Blake both have the same thing on their minds. They want to
make the other beg for the forgiveness.
Blake rolls away and gets to his feet. He turns and charges at Katie who is on
her feet and jumps at him hitting a clothesline knocking him down. Blake picks
himself up and Katie quickly jumps on his back with a sleeper hold applied.
Blake Mason tries to shake Katie off as it causes her to scream into his ear.
Blake tries to grab Katie on his back, but can’t reach her as she continues to
scream. Blake suddenly runs backwards and sandwiches Katie into the turnbuckle
to get her off his back.
Dawson: Blake Mason suffering from what we can only imagine is a rupture
eardrum and he still manages to get Katie off his back.
Knots: Not a bad way to do it either.
Blake stumbles out of the corner and shakes his head. Katie holds herself up on
the ropes and Blake gets up on his feet and walks over to Katie. He holds her
in the corner and climbs the ropes. Blake stands on the middle ropes as he
holds his fist in the air for the fans to give him a small pop, but Katie
beings her hands together making a big fist and throws it up connecting with a
low blow on Blake.
Knots: Ooooh! That isn’t pretty.
Sharper: It is a rookie mistake, you can’t leave yourself that vulnerable to
Katie Steward or she’ll make you pay.
Blake drops down from the ropes as he holds onto his precious. He stumbles back
and hunched over and Katie comes out of the corner and connects with a jumping
side kick to the side of Blake’s face knocking him to the mat.
Johnson: Yes! The Botox Injection.
Katie jumps onto of Blake and covers him for the pin.
1…
2…
Blake kicks out right as the referee’s hand was coming down for the three and
Katie looks around in horror and can’t believe Blake kicked out.
Dawson: Katie Steward is showing the range of her acting chops as she is in disbelief
Blake Mason kicked out of the Botox Injection.
Katie turns and grabs Blake Mason. She turns and tries to
whip him into the corner, but Blake spins through and fires Katie into the corner.
She winces and walks out and Mason grabs her and takes her down with a northern
light suplex into a pin.
1!
2!
Katie kicks out. Mason rolls over and we then see Robin
Brooks slowly start to walk out from the back. Mason turns and sees her and
walks over towards the ropes. Robin Brooks walks a bit closer and then smiles.
Mason just glares at her before suddenly Katie Steward rolls Mason up in a
school boy.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd roars and Mason kicks out after the three. Katie
rolls out of the ring and down to the floor. She then throws her arms in the
air.
Johnson: “Yes! She won! She won!”
Dawson: “Yeah...but with the help of a distraction by Robin
Brooks!”
Mason turns and looks up at the rampway as Katie Steward then
gets up and turns and suddenly looks on in shock as Robin Brooks just looks at
her. Katie Steward looks confused and asks her what she’s doing only to be
suddenly spun around and Mason grabs her and hits the Legacy Weapon on the
floor. Mason then sits up before looking up at Robin Brooks. Brooks just
remains standing in the rampway, watching Mason. Mason gets up and just looks
at her as Katie is out.
Johnson: “Oh my God!”
Johnson quickly takes off his headset and runs around.
Sharper: “Mason just dropped Katie....but Robin just didn’t
move a muscle!”
Dawson: “Robin returns tonight. She then gets involved, but
not. This is just odd.”
Mason just walks past Robin Brooks as he walks to the back.
Johnson drops down and checks on Katie Steward as Robin just continues to watch
Mason as he walks to the back.
The scene opens backstage as we see Mr. Drachewych and Matt
Bishop walking backstage. Bishop moves his way in as he looks into the trainer’s
room as Drachewych follows him.
Bishop: “Where’s CHBK?”
Bishop looks around without an answer.
Bishop: “Where is he?”
Dr. Hatten then comes into view, walking from the back of the
room, moving past one of the trainers.
Hatten: “My apologies for the guys that SCW hires.”
Drachewych: “Where is CHBK, Dr. Hatten?”
Hatten: “Don’t worry. He’s clearly not in any condition to be
here. We’ve sent him to the hospital to check for a concussion.”
Bishop: “Excellent.”
Drachewych: “Hudson made that easier. Thank you Doctor.”
Hatten: “My pleasure.”
Hatten smiles as Drachewych and Bishop leave the room smiling
and we go back to ringside.
Ashley Cherry vs. Syren
SCW Women’s Championship
Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of
something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in
the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that
“Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes blasts across the PA system as the lights come
back up again and the screens fill with text.

After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to
the stage dressed in a fur cloak and hood, standing there for a moment raising
her arms in to the air and seemingly absorbing the atmosphere with a satisfied
grin on her face. She looks back over her shoulder as the curtain parts again
and Marcus King, dressed in a leather trench coat and sunglasses, walks out
behind her. As the chorus of the song kicks in Ravyn walks down to the ring.
She looks up at the ring for a moment before waving her hand dismissively and
walking around the ring to the commentary position instead.
Sharper: “Whoa seems we’ve got company here tonight guys. I wondered what she
was doing out here.”
Dawson: “I can’t say I’m surprised, the last few weeks wherever one of these
two women has gone the other has never been that far behind, whether it was
Ravyn’s interference in the championship match last Monday helping Syren to
retain the Women’s Championship or Syren’s distraction on Wednesday to allow
Ravyn to pick up a huge win over the challenger tonight.”
Knots: “You’re aware that she can hear you, right?”
Ravyn just glares disappointedly at the commentators before nodding to Marcus
who reaches in to the crowd and throws one of the fans off his chair,
retrieving it for Ravyn to sit on at ringside as one of the tech guys rushes
over to hand her a headset. She carefully places it on her head before sitting
down in the commentary booth and letting out a sigh.
Ravyn Taylor: “Am I to assume that you were saying derogatory things about me
while I was unable to defend myself?”
Knots: “Err, he was!”
Ravyn Taylor: “I can’t say I’m surprised, the commentary position has always
been reserved for the most spineless of troglodytes, those who do so enjoy
telling everybody else what they should be doing and how they should be
behaving from the comfort and tranquillity of a seat at ringside completely
removed from the actual effort that goes in to performing. If you have anything
you’d like to discuss however I’d be more than willing to listen to your
pathetic little opinions and then explain, using small words so that you can
understand, exactly why you’re wrong and can shove those comments up your
asses.”
Sharper: “Damn, don’t sugar-coat it; tell us how you REALLY feel!”
An extended intro to Jadakiss's "Kiss of Death" begins to play...
If they ask what happened
Tell them it's the Kiss of Death
The crowd cheers as a little more instrumental plays
for the song followed by...

"Better Version" by Shinedown begins to play leading to more cheers
from the crowd. Ashley Cherry comes from behind the curtain and pumps up the
crowd with a smile on her face. She slaps some of the fans hands on the way
towards the ring. She enters the ring and outstretches her arms as the crowd
continues to cheer. She hops on the turnbuckle and looks out into the crowd,
soaking in the energy and raising her fists in the air.
Ravyn Taylor: “You want to know how I really feel? How
I feel right now is sick to my stomach that this self-serving hypocrite is
allowed to stand in that ring and that she of all people gets a shot at the
Women’s Championship tonight. Exactly what has Ashley Cherry done to put
herself in a position to fight for anything at all here tonight?”
Dawson: “What has she done? How’s about fought her way from the bottom of the
company to the top? How’s about won the Women’s Championship on two separate
occasions? How’s about never actually losing that championship
in the ring?”
Ravyn Taylor: “Ok I’m sorry I appear to have misspoken. Allow me to correct my
previous question – what exactly has she done that is in any way relevant to
March 7th 2010 to earn this opportunity? That list of ‘accomplishments’ you
just spewed out proves to me that she would have been an ideal challenger this
time last year, in fact I may well have supported her cause myself, but unlike
so many I’m not overly concerned with the events that occurred a solar cycle
ago.”
The lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the centre of the stage.
“Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system as the screens come alive.

After a few moments the curtains part as Syren makes her way on to the stage
with the SCW Women’s Championship around her waist, stopping for a moment as
she steps in to the spotlight and looking down at the ground in front of her
before flicking her hair back and smiling at the cameras and the fans, soaking
in the atmosphere and revelling in every moment, even if it is boos and jeers
about taking her top off from the fans. She begins walking to the ring, holding
up a hand to some of the male fans to keep them quiet and show she doesn’t care
before making her way to the ring and skipping happily up the steps, pausing on
the ring apron and bending all the way down to go under the second rope,
wiggling her ass as she does so to taunt the fans at ringside.
Sharper: “Well then presumably if you’re out here to bash the accomplishments
of the challenger you’d like some time to tell us all exactly why this woman
deserves to be the champion?”
Ravyn Taylor: “I don’t think that actually requires an explanation because if
anything you answered your own question. Why does she deserve to be the
champion? Because she IS the champion.”
Dawson: “A lot of people would point out that Ashley Cherry has a valid claim
to the title herself. She never lost the championship in the ring after all;
she was fired from the company and stripped of the championship.”
Ravyn Taylor: “A lot of people also believed that George Walker Bush would make
good leader for this country or that Barack Hussein Obama the second would
actually change the country for the better. Neither statement holds any validity
however which tells me that just because ‘a lot of people’ think it doesn’t
mean it’s in any way true.”
In the ring Syren jumps up and down a little, almost cheering for herself
excitedly before walking over to the corner and taking off the title, leaping
on to the second rope, standing up straight and flicking back her hair again as
she raises up the title to more boos from the fans. She steps down from the
ropes again and turns to find Ashley Cherry staring at her with a smirk, her
eyes completely focused on the championship in her hands. Syren raises the
title up above her head again before talking to trash to Cherry who ignores her
and continues to focus on the championship belt she came to reclaim. The
referee steps between the two rivals and takes the Women’s Championship from
Syren, holding it up for the crowd to see before turning first to Syren and
then to Ashley and explaining the rules before asking if they both understand.
Both women nod and the referee calls for the bell before stepping out from
between them.
Dawson: “And here we go, our second Women’s Championship match in seven days is
underway!”
Sharper: “Tonight one of these women is going to leave with their dreams
unfilled and I really wouldn’t want to be the ego of either one when that
happens.”
Knots: “No but damn I’d love to be that referee. Isn’t that same guy who
refereed the title match on Monday? He gets all the breaks...”
Syren and Cherry quickly lock up in the middle of the ring and just as the
veteran Cherry begins to get the best of it Syren counters with a knee in to
the gut. She hammers Cherry with forearm shots repeatedly, driving the
challenger back in to the corner before grabbing her by the hair and launching
her across the ring, holding up a few strands of hair that she ripped out of
Cherry’s head in the process for the cameras to see. Cherry struggles back up
to her knees but Syren is right on her again, grabbing her again by the hair
and pulling her up before launching her across the ring again with another snapmare
using the hair, quickly running the ropes and delivering a massive kick to the
spine of Cherry. Cherry grabs her back in pain as Syren stops and gloats to the
fans, holding her arms up triumphantly.
Knots: “And that’s why she’s the champ, right?”
Ravyn Taylor: “Would be helpful if she’d spend less time gloating but it’s a
good start.”
Dawson: “A start is all it is, a few cheap shots by Syren at the beginning here
to take Ashley Cherry off her game but this isn’t Cherry’s first rodeo, don’t
count her out just yet!”
While Syren continues showing off for the fans Cherry gets back to her feet and
rushes across the ring, nailing Syren in the back with a kick that knocks the
Women’s Champion on her face. The challenger quickly pulls the champion back up
again, locking her in a front face lock for a moment and hammering her on the
back repeatedly before grabbing her by the hair and launching her across the
ring in revenge, which gets a massive pop of approval from the fans. Cherry
stays on the champion however, grabbing her again in a front facelock as she
gets back to her feet before hammering away at the back again and setting up
for a suplex. She lifts Syren up for the suplex but the champion floats over
and lands on her feet, spinning around her challenger and slapping her across
the face. The fans boo as Syren gloats again only to receive a massive slap
back from Cherry so hard it knocks her off her feet. The fans cheer wildly as
Syren sits on her ass in the middle of the ring holding her face in disbelief
but Cherry isn’t done yet, running the ropes and nailing a low dropkick to the
Women’s champion, knocking her out under the bottom rope and to the outside.
Sharper: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, as they say!”
Ravyn Taylor: “The gander? Are you attempting to imply that the challenger is a
male?”
Dawson: “Would you quit taking everything so literally? Your tag team partner
is in trouble having just dished out some punishment only for the challenger to
completely turn it around!”
Syren gets back to her feet on the outside holding the side of her head in
disbelief and Cherry rolls out under the bottom rope to meet her. Syren quickly
dashes around the ring to avoid another confrontation and Cherry gives chase.
Syren rolls back in to the ring and Cherry follows her only to watch Syren roll
straight back out the other side again and tell the fans at ringside that
they’ll fight when SHE’S ready and not before. While she’s talking with the
fans however Cherry charges at the ropes, leaping through the middle rope and
nailing Syren on the outside, driving her back first in to the guardrail to a
roar of approval from the fans. Cherry quickly gets back to her feet, grabbing
Syren by the hair and pulling her back up again and throwing her in under the
bottom rope before rolling in after her and grabbing her by the head, slamming
it down against the mat several times. Syren struggles to push her off before
making her way back up to her feet and as Cherry tries to lock up nails her
with a kick to the gut and whips her to the ropes, trying to catch her as she
rebounds but Cherry snaps off a head scissors that whips Syren back down to the
mat again to another cheer from the fans.
Dawson: “The fans here in Las Vegas really are behind Ashley Cherry in her
quest to regain the gold.”
Knots: “Ungrateful people, Syren actually lives in this city, shouldn’t they be
behind her?”
Sharper: “Well considering she’s proud to be from California I doubt that
anybody actually realises she lives here, and if they do I doubt that they
actually care. They’d probably be happier rid of her.”
Ravyn Taylor: “The popular vote means nothing, just ask Bush!”
Syren struggles back to her feet, holding her head in some considerable
discomfort as Ashley Cherry sets up for something in the corner, waiting for
Syren to notice her and charge before jumping up and nailing a spinning wheel
kick on the incoming champion. The crowd pops again as both women quickly get
back to their feet only for Cherry to catch Syren with the same move a second
time, once again landing her on the back of her head! Syren takes considerably
longer to get up this time, holding her head again in pain as Cherry sets up
and nails a superkick on the prone champion before quickly rushing over and
hooking the leg...

But Syren’s shoulder pops off the mat before the three count.
Cherry looks at the referee a little frustrated before grabbing Syren before he
can get back to her feet and pulling her back up again, lifting her up and
slamming her down to the mat hard with a slam. The crowd pop and begin chanting
for her to do it again and she happily obliges, pulling Syren up and slamming
her down again hard on the mat to the delight of the fans. Cherry runs the
ropes and nails a running elbow drop before leaping back to her feet and
listening to the crowd once again chant for her to do it again. She runs the
ropes and goes for the elbow a second time but this time Syren is able to roll
out of the way and Cherry only connects with the mat. She gets back up, holding
her arm in discomfort as Syren also gets back to her feet, running the ropes
and nailing Cherry with a running high knee that knocks her off her feet. Syren
holds her head again in pain for a moment before standing on the side of
Cherry’s head angrily, putting all her weight in to it until the referee pulls
her off.
Sharper: “That was somewhat unsporting by the champion!”
Dawson: “I think Syren is getting angry at how completely dominant Cherry has
been in this match so far. Until that elbow drop missed I don’t think she’s
actually put a foot wrong, which is obviously not what the champion was
expecting. I recall her mentioning ‘ring rust’.”
Ravyn Taylor: “Give it time, I’ve gotten Zoe well prepared for this match. She
knows exactly what Ashley is going to do, probably before Ashley does.”
Cherry gets back to her feet and Syren grabs her and slams her down
aggressively before running the ropes and nailing Cherry with a running leg
drop. She grabs the challenger by the hair and pulls her up and over to the
corner, throwing her against the turnbuckles and delivers several kicks to the
gut before grabbing the air and twisting it around the ropes. The referee tells
her to stop before beginning to count but Syren breaks the hold on four so as
to avoid disqualification before immediately going back to it, wrapping
Cherry’s arm around the ropes and then kicking the ropes to send pain shooting
up the arm of the challenger. The referee forces her off but Syren doesn’t give
it up that easily, charging at her challenger again and nailing a clothesline
in the corner that knocks Cherry to a seated position. Syren begins facewashing
Cherry with the soul of her boot before charging against the ropes and
rebounding, coming back with a low-angle big boot in the corner that has Cherry grabbing at her face. With Cherry down Syren delivers
another few kicks to the exposed arm before Cherry covers up.
Ravyn Taylor: “I love being right...”
Dawson: “The Women’s Champion taking back control and going after the arm of Ashley
Cherry, you think she smells blood?”
Sharper: “Well Cherry’s only mistake of this match so far saw her landing on
the arm and Syren is determined that if she didn’t damage it already that
Ashley isn’t leaving here with that arm in one piece!”
Syren grabs a shellshocked Cherry by the hair and drags her out of the corner
once again, applying a front facelock of her own this time before snapping off
a perfect vertical suplex and holding on to the front facelock at the same
time. Syren gets back to her feet and pulls Cherry up with her, changing the
hold slightly and lifting her challenger up this time with a high-angle belly
to back suplex, driving Cherry down on the back of her head. As she pulls her
up a second time she hooks the injured arm as well in a hammerlock before
lifting her up a third time and dropping her down with a modified belly to back
suplex but with the hammerlock still applied, driving all of Cherry’s own
weight on the injured arm. Syren quickly hooks the leg for the cover before Cherry
can recover...

But Ashley Cherry pops her uninjured arm off the mat and Syren quickly rolls to
a mount, hammering away with right hands to the face of Cherry. The referee
once again has to interfere, pulling Syren off of the mount before she gets
herself disqualified and Syren angrily gets in the referee’s face warning him
not to touch her again. Cherry meanwhile gets back to her feet and as Syren
attempts to grab her responds with a slap across the chest that the fans cheer
for. Syren staggers back and Cherry pushes her advantage, grabbing Syren and
nailing a headbutt before hitting another slap across the chest. With Syren
stunned Cherry runs the ropes but Syren responds with a massive European
Uppercut that knocks the charging challenger back off her feet.
Ravyn Taylor: “And suddenly not everything is quite so cheery on planet
Cherry!”
Knots: “And you really seem to be loving that fact,
huh?”
Sharper: “Syren successfully turning this match around and then cutting off the
momentum of Ashley Cherry as she attempted to regain it, but this match is a
long way from won for either one of them.”
Syren goes for another pin attempt but the referee won’t count as Cherry’s
shoulders aren’t both on the mat. Syren grabs her and pulls her back up again,
tossing her to the corner before whipping her back out of the corner with a
Mexican Arm Drag, grabbing her again and snapping her down with a snapmare
before running the ropes and nailing a kick straight to the face. She holds her
hands up happily as the fans boo once more, going to pull the challenger up one
more time only for Cherry to nail a shot to the gut to break her momentum.
Syren recovers and goes back again but again Cherry cuts her off with a shot to
the gut before pulling herself back up and nailing a few right hands, whipping
Syren across the ring and nailing a spinning back fist to the face that
completely rocks the champion. Syren goes down holding her face as Cherry leans
on the ropes for a moment to recover, feeling some pain in her arm but moving
on quickly enough to grab Syren and drive her face first in to the mat.
Dawson: “MAJOR momentum shifter right there! That back fist caught Syren flush;
she had absolutely no time to prepare for it!”
Knots: “Moves like that should be illegal, and why is Cherry so obsessed with
Syren’s head? She’s trying to ruin her looks, that’s what it is. She’s
jealous!”
Sharper: “Most of Ashley Cherry’s offense is targeted on the head and neck in
general, except oddly her finisher but we’ll come to that later.”
Syren staggers up with a look of shock on her face and Cherry grabs her,
attempting a back drop but Syren flips over and lands on her feet, nailing a
kick to the gut before setting up for possibly an attempt at a double-underhook
but Cherry is able to counter out of it. Syren counters with a kick to the gut,
lifting Cherry on to her shoulders for something but Cherry slips down the back
and catches Syren with a sunset flip roll up in to the pin...

But Syren gets her shoulder up before the three. Cherry nails her with a shot
to the back of the head before letting her get back to her knees and charging
at her, nailing a picture perfect Shining Wizard that gets a huge pop from the
fans and with Syren out quickly hooks the leg again for another pin attempt...
1...
2......
But again Syren gets the shoulder up before the three and Cherry begins to look
a little frustrated she can’t put away the blonde of questionable intelligence
from California. She looks at the referee who informs her it was definitely
only two and pulls Syren up again, setting up for her Sealed With A Kiss
finisher but Syren has it scouted and twists out of position, nailing another
slap to the face of the challenger before running the ropes and driving her
boot square in to the face of Cherry with a running Yakuza Kick.
Dawson: “SYREN NAILS THE FACE LIFT OUT OF NOWHERE!!”
Sharper: “That’s one thing about Syren’s offence, trained by Yvonne Knight of
the Knight wrestling family – one of whom, her older brother Lucas, competes
here in SCW – so she knows all about the benefits of those sudden impactful
moves!”
Knots: “The problem is that after expending two lots of energy kicking out of
moves from Cherry I don’t think she’s got enough to make the cover.”
Ravyn Taylor: “She doesn’t need to make the cover, she’s cut off the momentum
and that should be enough for the moment...”
Both girls struggle back up with Cherry grabbing Syren again and locking in a
side headlock but Syren counters out of it by grabbing the arm and snapping it,
pulling Cherry back down to the mat face first. Cherry grabs at her arm again
in pain as Syren goes to work with more kicks, dropping to her knees and just
slapping Cherry repeatedly across the back while letting out a scream of
frustration. She pulls the challenger up nails a massive chop across the chest
before shaking her own hand in pain and grabbing the arm of Cherry again,
moving her around so that she can lock in an Octopus Hold while pulling at the
injured arm. The referee checks if Cherry wants to submit while Syren continues
pulling at the injured arm and then, with the referee in position to check for
the submission and unable to see, starts biting at the arm of Cherry, who cries
out in pain. The referee quickly checks but Syren looks at her innocently,
shrugging her shoulders and claiming she has no idea what Cherry is complaining
about as the fans boo. Cherry is able to nail an elbow to Syren to break the
hold however, charging at the ropes only for Syren to duck the attempt at a
clothesline and grab the arm, snapping it again and dropping her to the mat
once again before rolling her over with a hammerlock in place for the pin.

But Cherry still gets the shoulder up. Syren slams her hands on the mat angrily
before pulling Cherry to her feet and attempting to set up a straight-jacket
style move that Cherry is able to counter out of and nail Syren with a straight
right hand that rocks her. Cherry unloads with another right hand, followed by
another before charging the ropes only for Syren to run after her. Cherry
bounces off the ropes only to stop and turn around, turning straight in to a
massive lariat from Syren which knocks Cherry down to the mat.
Knots: “MAJOR impact by the Women’s Champion!”
Sharper: “Syren certainly showing she’s got some good wrestling ability here
tonight despite what people may think of her. She’s definitely more than
holding her own against the more experienced Ashley Cherry.”
Ravyn Taylor: “Definitely, people underestimate Zoe because of her attitude and
mannerisms but while she may not have an intellectual background this girl has
more natural ability inside that ring than anybody else on this roster. There
is a reason I sought her out after all, after months of watching ‘divas’ come
and go from this business I knew immediately that Zoe was something else
entirely.”
Dawson: “Well we’re about to see if that ‘something else’ can pull out another
huge win here tonight.”
Syren pulls Cherry up one more time and attempts to set up the facebuster she
calls the Total Makeover but Cherry has it scouted and counters, looking to set
up her “Sealed With A Kiss” finisher but again Syren
counters out of it, slapping Cherry across the face once again. Cherry responds
with another massive slap before running the ropes and nailing Syren with a
clothesline but the Women’s Champion pops right up. Cherry runs the ropes again
for another clothesline but Syren ducks it and charges in the opposite
direction. Both girls charge toward one another and both nail clotheslines on
each other in the middle of the ring both laying the other one out.
Sharper: “OH!! Both women with the same idea and they both hit it! This could
be a HUGE moment in the match; whoever gets up first could well win the
championship!”
Both girls struggle up again with Syren holding the back of her head. She
staggers over to Cherry who blasts her with a huge shot to the face, knocking
her back before taking her down with a short arm clothesline. She signals for
the end of the match, dropping down and clamping on the cross-arm camel clutch.
Dawson: “THE MONO-LOCK LOCKED IN!!”
Sharper: “And Syren is RIGHT in the middle of the ring! This could be the end,
I don’t see any way out of it for the champion...”
Ravyn whips off her headset and gets back to her feet, nodding to Marcus who’s
been at her side at the commentary position the whole time. Marcus rushes the
ring, attempting to get in on the near side but the referee dashes across to
prevent him from getting in to break up the hold. Ravyn quickly rolls in to the
ring under the bottom rope and charges at Ashley who breaks the hold and
sidesteps Ravyn, catching her with a drop toe hold
that sends her in to the middle rope. Ravyn gets back to her feet only for
Cherry to come charging at her, clotheslining her up and over the ropes and to
the outside. Next Cherry charges across and nails Marcus King with a shot on
the apron as well, sending him crashing down in to the guard rail. The crowd
pops massively for Cherry’s sudden momentum but as she turns around Syren has
managed to get to the apron and leaps up on to the top rope, twisting in midair
before catching Cherry in the middle of the ring with the tornado style DDT
that ends the 720 DDT she perfectly executed.
Knots: “BEAUTY SPOT FROM THE CHAMPION OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!”
Dawson: “DAMMIT!! Ashley Cherry had the submission on, she got distracted by
Ravyn Taylor and Marcus King and Syren ABSOLUTELY made her pay! This is
reminiscent of Breakdown when Syren caused the distraction and Ravyn took
advantage!”
Sharper: “Yeah but with everything that’s happened, not to mention that brutal
submission hold, does Syren actually have enough left to make the pin? She
seems to be crawling toward the corner and not toward Cherry!”
With Ravyn in a heap on the floor, Marcus King holding his back in pain and
Ashley Cherry absolutely laid out in the ring the Women’s Champion slowly pulls
herself up in the corner holding her head in considerable pain before looking
back over her shoulder. She places one hand on either side of
the ropes and leaps up to the top rope, springboarding off and
corkscrewing herself around in midair before landing down on Cherry with a
fantastic high-angle Senton. Syren struggles to get back in to position for the
cover...
Knots: “AND THE FOLLOW UP IS THE BLONDETON BOMB!!! HUGE
IMPACT!!”
Dawson: “If Ashley Cherry wasn’t out before she is now!”
The Women’s Champion hooks both legs...
1...

3!!
The referee calls for the bell as Syren holds her head in pain and “Groupie” by
Cassie Steele hits the PA system once again and Syren rolls off of the cover in
obvious pain. She struggles back to her feet as the referee raises her hand and
hands her back the Women’s Championship which she raises in to the air proudly
before hugging it tightly and dropping to her knees, continuing to hold her
head in pain while looking at Ashley Cherry who still hasn’t moved since the
double impact of the Beauty Spot and Blondeton Bomb.
Knots: “And STILL our Women’s Champion...”
Dawson: “She couldn’t do it alone though, could she? Once again Syren relies on
the help of her partners in crime to distract Ashley Cherry and for the second
time in the same week Ashley Cherry has lost to more Dark Fantasy tactics.”
Knots: “Well Ravyn DID say she had her tag team partner well prepared.”
Ravyn rolls back in to the ring and the two women hug before Ravyn raises
Syren’s hand and the crowd boo even more. “Groupie” continues blasting around
the arena as Syren drops back down and rolls out of the ring and Ravyn leaps
over the ropes in to the arms of a waiting Marcus King and the two members of
Dark Fantasy, two thirds of the Dark Triad, make their way up the ramp toward
the back.
A shot of the Edward R. Jones Dome
for Rise to Greatness 2009 is shown with the crowd cheering and spotlights
going around. The sound, however, is completely muted. This shifts to a shot of
James Exeter attempting a shooting star press, only to be hit by a Graven Image
by Shawn Winters. This is followed up by a shot of the crowd rising to their
feet cheering and then a shot of Damian Angel walking to the ring. A shot of Rachel
Foxx laughing evilly is shown followed by a shot of Jason Wheeler spearing
Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness 2008. We then see a shot of a huge pyro
display before this fades to black and only the following simple words come up
on the screen.
“Rise to Greatness 2010”
“July 25, 2010”
“Dallas, Texas”
“Cowboys Stadium”
“Everything is bigger in Texas.”
The final phrase stays on the screen
for a few moments before slowly fading to black.
Cheers can be heard as we return to ringside and we see the
steel cage around the ring.
Sharper: “Rise to Greatness, coming this summer, live from
the brand new Cowboys Stadium in my backyard.”
Dawson: “And each year it gets bigger and bigger.”
Sharper: “And speaking of bigger and bigger, we go to another
very personal match. Majestic rules. Miller versus Gable Winchester. Can Miller finally get the
win he wants?”
Gable Winchester vs. David Miller
Steel Cage Match
The opening strains to “Everywhere I Go”
start to echo around the arena as gold lighting starts to pulse around the
arena, then begin to pulse to the beat of the introduction. Once the main verse
starts, Gable Winchester walks from the back, nodding his head and moving his
hands up and down in time to his theme song. The fans don’t know what to make
of the man as he struts down the ramp. Once he gets to the barricade he looks
out at the fans and shows that he isn’t too egotistical for the fans. Smiling
he holds out his hand and allow people to high five him, slowly walking along
(on the occasion he may see an attractive lady in the audience and his
showmanship ends with a withdrawal of the offered hand when a random fan thinks
he is going to get his big chance. In such a case he leans on the barricade and
tries to sweet talk the person in question, with mixed results sometimes he is
spurned and other times he manages to go as far as getting the woman’s cell
number on whatever medium possible at the time) after high fiving some more, he
nods his head some more and spins round with his arms spread wide. The crowds
are still at odds on whether to cheer before he shrugs at the lack of attention
he is getting and goes over to the door to the cage and enters it.
Once in the ring he climbs the turnbuckle, nodding his head as he holds a hand
up in the air, winking and pointing at some of the ladies in the crowd who on
the whole scream madly at their being pointed out by him, regardless of whether
they like him or not. Once he has postured for the ladies he gets down from the
turnbuckle and smiles to himself, brushing his wild dreadlocks from his face as
he waits for his opponent.
Sharper: “Majestic rules in operation here. This means no win
or loss for escape. Single fall to a finish in the ring.”
Knots: “Yeah and who cares? Majestic is dead and Miller after
tonight, his legacy will die when Gable Winchester beats him AGAIN!”
As a flicker of life ripples across the video-screen, the
lights lower, bathing the anxious crowd in deep shadows. Throughout the
building, camera flashes and laser-pointers struggle to pierce the darkness,
but fail. Another image appears on the screen, more clearly this time,
revealing a gathering of thick clouds. Lightning leaps from one thunderhead to
the next, as a voice echoes in the dark.
“I’m the best there is at what I do...”
Following the pouring rain as it falls from the gathering storm, the image
circles around a lone figure standing in the cascading torrent. Motionless, the
man stands with his head bowed, his face hidden in the shadow of a hood now
soaked through. The scene continues to pan downward, revealing the open front
of the jacket and the man’s chiselled physique. Bringing both hands up before
his concealed face, the man slowly cups a balled fist, cracking the knuckles as
his voice again rings clear.
“And what I do best… isn’t very nice.”
The sound of a female voice begins harmonizing in the background as the image
closes in on the man, circling around to view him from the back. Bass guitars begin to match with the lilt of the woman’s voice,
adding more power to the dark melody, as the scene circles around to the man’s
front.
“Don’t believe me?”
Closing in as the man lifts his head, the image centers on his face just as a
flash of lightning illuminates the cold green eyes and stone-hard scowl of
David Miller. Coming alive with a deafening ovation, the crowd rises to its
feet, drowning out the building intensity of the music. Another flare of
lightning flashes through Miller’s eyes before the screen goes black, plunging
the fans into total darkness.
“Then watch it happen!”
A sharp distortion in the music causes it to cut out as well, leaving the
still-frantic crowd in a state of limbo for a length of seconds before a
violent blast of silver-white flame rips up through the stage, consuming the
entranceway in a blinding light as the commanding chords to Evanescence’s “Lies”
thunder through the speakers. Black light strobes fill the long tunnel,
silhouetting the same hooded figure from the images on the screen, drawing the
crowd into even greater hysterics as he steps out onto the stage. Curls of smoke from the explosion swirl around Miller’s form as he
crosses slowly to the top of the ramp and lifts his head, peering out into the
chaotic masses with an emotionless gaze. Twisting his head to one side,
and then the other, he cracks the bones in his neck before starting down
towards the ring with a calm, methodical stride. Crushing up against the
guardrails, fans extend their arms as far as they can, trying to grab hold of
the silent figure as he passes by. Miller walks around to the door and just
looks at the door for the cage before pulling himself up the steel steps and
entering the ring and crosses to the nearest corner, mounting the second rope
and staring out over the tens of thousands still calling out to him. Bringing
up both hands, he cracks his knuckles before reaching up to draw back the hood,
exposing the intense fire burning in his eyes. Peeling the jacket over his
head, he drops it at ringside before stepping back down onto the canvas,
throwing a few simple combinations to loosen up as the music fades out.
Sharper: “One has to wonder to what level of revenge Miller
wants to employ to not only get Gable for the victories, but also, that kick to
his head two and a half weeks ago.”
Dawson: “Well Miller has shown glimmers of his temper coming
back, but on Breakdown, he seemed quite calm.”
Sharper: “This coming after Two for
One Special in which he tried to destroy Gable every chance he got.”
Miller looks over at Gable as Gable smirks a bit. The referee
calls for the bell and the crowd roars as the door is closed. Miller then
starts to walk forward with his hands up. Gable starts to skip around the
circle of the ring before spinning around and Miller moves forward and Gable
moves away. He spins around and Miller finally dives and attempts to grab
Gable, but Gable jumps up and jumps over. Miller starts to get up and Gable
kicks him in the head and Miller gets his hands up. Gable attempts to kick him
in the head again, catching Miller’s arm and then kicks him again. Miller
starts to get up and Gable kicks him in the ribs. He then grabs Miller and hits
a European uppercut. Miller pops back and against the ropes. Gable then backs
up and then nails him with another European uppercut. Miller pops back and then
spins around and then gets to the corner. Gable walks over and nails Miller
with a hard forearm and then another and another.
Knots: “Look at this. Gable Winchester
going to take the fight to Miller.”
Dawson: “But after Miller took a chance to get to him and
instead Gable takes advantage.”
Gable nails Miller with another shot and Miller falls to the
mat. Gable then places his foot against the throat and pushes down. Miller
struggles to breathe, grabbing at the ropes, hoping to get some leverage. Gable
continues to push down before stepping off. He then bends over and grabs Miller
and slowly lifts him up and Gable nails him in the knee. Miller
winces and Gable turns and snapmares him down. Miller sits up and Gable
kicks him hard in the back. Miller winces and falls to his side. Gable then
pushes him down to the mat and goes for the pin.

Miller kicks out. Gable gets up. Miller rolls over and starts
to pull himself up. Gable walks over and grabs Miller and clubs him in the
back. He then spins him around and nails him with a hard forearm before then
kicking him in the ribs. He hooks Miller’s arm and then throws him over with a
vertical suplex. Gable then swivels his hips before rolling over. Miller
continues to hold on and Gable then knees him in the ribs before turning and
throwing Miller hard into the side of the cage. Miller spins around and falls
to his knees before going to his hands and knees.
Sharper: “Gable Winchester is remarkable in control in
Miller’s element. This is shocking.”
Knots: “He’s the future of this company. Who’s going to stop
him? He’s not lost one on one and on top of that, he’s taking apart people in
THEIR element. He’s done this over and over.”
Gable walks over and looks at Miller as Miller starts to
slowly get up. Gable then walks grabs him and locks
him in a cobra clutch, but doesn’t hold it on before throwing him back with a
leg sweep. He then rolls over and rolls Miller over, locking the clutch in
while on Miller’s back. Miller winces and manages to get up to an upright
position on his knees as Gable continues to pull back. The crowd boos as Miller
struggles to get out. He pushes up ,but Gable
continues to hold on. Miller manages to get to his one leg and then gets up
before turning and stumbling back and falling into the turnbuckle, driving
Gable in. Gable holds on a bit and Miller stumbles forward before stumbling
back again. Miller moves forward and Gable then jumps up onto his back and
tries to keep the hold on, now moving into a traditional sleeper. Miller then
grabs him by the head before turning and falling back into the side of the
cage. Gable winces before letting go and falling between the ropes and the
cage. Miller falls forward to his knees before slowly getting back up.
Dawson: “Miller driving Gable into the side of the cage, also
driving his weight in there. That may have driven all of the air out of him.”
Sharper: “But what damage did the cobra clutch do. Miller was
in it for a while. I don’t know how well Gable had it locked in.”
Gable starts to pull himself up on the apron between the
ropes and the cage. Miller gets up and smiles as Gable then looks up and
suddenly looks on in horror as Miller nails him in the ribs with a hard spin
kick. He then spins around and hits a spinning back kick to the ribs,
sandwiching Gable against the steel. He then turns and nails him with a back
elbow and Gable’s head bounces off the steel. Miller nails him with another
elbow and Gable hits his head off the cage again. He then nails him a third
time and Gable falls forward. Miller then smirks before grabbing Gable and
pulling him up, while still holding on with a front face lock. He then
continues to hold onto him for a moment before quickly turning and kicking
Gable hard in the ribs as he falls down to the mat. The crowd ohs as Gable
rolls over, clearly in pain.
Knots: “Good God! That may break some ribs!”
Sharper: “He just let Gable fall and right into his shin.
Gable is in a world of hurt. Gable may be joining CHBK with injured ribs!”
Gable continues to writhe in pain as Miller walks over and
grabs him, dragging him up to his feet. He then knees him in the ribs before
dragging him up and grabbing him in a Muay Thai clinch. He then nails Gable
with a hard knee and then another and then another before bending him over. He
looks around before hoisting Gable up in a powerbomb before running him over
and throwing him over the top turnbuckle and into the corner of the cage. The
crowd ohs as Gable falls down on the top turnbuckle and falls back into the
ring. Miller walks around before then grabbing Gable by the arm and dragging
him out from the ropes. He then steps over him and bends over, going for a
dragon clutch, but Gable arches his back and pulls Miller over, causing him to
flip over. Both men then start to get back up and Miller turns and nails Gable
with a kick to the head and Gable just falls back to the mat as the crowd
cheers.
Dawson: “A vicious kick and Gable’s brains may be scrambled.”
Sharper: “He just fell back to the mat like a rock. He looked
completely out of it.”
Miller looks down and then smirks as he drops down for the
pin.

Gable gets his shoulder up. The crowd boos and Miller looks
at him and just smirks before grabbing him by the head and lifting him up. He
then slowly starts to pull him to his feet. He then quickly knees him in the
ribs before spinning him around and throwing him over with a release half
nelson suplex. Gable rolls over, holding his head in pain. Miller then turns
and walks over to the corner. He looks around before turning around. He then
starts to motion to Gable to get up. Gable rolls over and slowly starts to
stir. He stumbles forward before looking up at Miller and Miller starts to run
at him, but Gable ducks out of the way of a running jump kick, before spinning
around. He then jumps up and grabs Miller and hits a lungblower and Miller
rolls over in pain. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Miller kicks out. Gable rolls off and slowly starts to get
up. Miller starts to stir and slowly gets up only for Gable to then run at him
and nail him with a running knee. Miller spins down to the mat as Gable then
falls over in the corner.
Knots: “And while Miller can throw kicks, Gable just threw a
knee that may have effected Miller.”
Sharper: “A running knee to the side of the head and Miller
spun down quickly. A testament to the impact of that knee.”
Gable looks up before reaching up and grabbing the steel mesh
and starting to pull himself up. He climbs up to the top rope and looks back.
Miller remains down and Gable then starts to pull himself up on the steel mesh,
climbing up to the top of the cage as the crowd roars. Miller rolls over and
starts to get up and he falls over to the ropes. He then starts to pull himself
up as Gable gets on to the very narrow top of the cage as Miller climbs up.
Gable starts to get up and Miller grabs his leg. The crowd cheers and Miller
nails Gable with a hard right. He then starts to climb up to the very top of
the cage. Gable turns and nails Miller with one. Gable then gets up to his feet
and grabs one of the guiding cables for balance. Miller starts to get up and
Gable kicks him in the ribs. He then grabs Miller and locks him in a front face
lock. The crowd roars as Miller then nails Gable with a hard shot before
pushing him back and both men lose their balance before both men fall off the
top of the cage and down into the middle of the ring. The crowd erupts in
cheers as both men are down!
Sharper: “Oh my God! My God! From the top
of the cage...to the middle of the ring!”
Dawson: “I don’t know if Gable was going to go for a big move
or just escape, but Miller caught him, but both got the worst of it!”
Knots: “Can there be a countout in this thing?”
Sharper: “Not to my knowledge. The referee’s not counting, so
I’m going to say no!”
Knots: “What the hell is that? Ref! Count them out!”
Miller and Gable remain down in the ring as the crowd
continues to cheer. Miller rolls over slowly as does Gable. Gable manages to
get up a bit faster, pulling himself up to the ropes and slowly back to his
feet. Miller rolls over and continues to slowly get back to his feet before
turning around and Gable turns and runs at him and jumps up before taking him
down with a running STO. He turns and rolls onto his back into a pin.

Miller kicks out. Gable rolls over and then goes for the
legs. He looks at them before grabbing his left leg and kicking at it. Miller
winces. Gable kicks at it again. He then kicks at it a third time before
spinning around and driving all of his weight on it. Miller rolls over in pain.
Dawson: “Gable’s going for the leg. He’s going to try and
limit those kicks.”
Knots: “And he’s going for the leg Miller stands on to
execute them. Smart move!”
Gable then grabs the other leg and bends it over the worked
upon leg and starts to go for a figure four, but Miller reaches
up and rolls him over into a small package.
1!

Gable kicks out. Both men get up and Gable kicks Miller in
the knee before kicking him in the ribs. He then grabs the leg and bends it and
sets up for a kneebreaker, but Miller manages to roll through, up and over
Gable, and rolls him up in a sunset flip.
1!
2!
Gable kicks out again. Both men then get up and Gable
attempts a clothesline, but Miller ducks and then grabs him by the waist and
pushes forward and intentionally rams Gable into the ropes and more
importantly, the side of the cage. He then rolls back and through before
hitting a huge rolling German suplex, leading to a huge eruption of cheers from
the crowd!
Sharper: “Rolling German suplex!”
Dawson: “Oh my God! Gable Winchester is done!”
Knots: “He just rolled through and dropped him on his head!
That’s just like the Backdrop driver!”
Sharper: “But it’s not the Backdrop driver. It’s a German
suplex. This is just how dangerous Miller is!”
Miller gets up and Gable turns and rolls over, semi-out of
it. He slowly starts to pull himself up to his feet and he turns around to see
Miller only for Miller to scoop him up and place him on his shoulder. He the looks around before bringing him down and spiking him with the
Emerald Frosion. The crowd ohs and Miller turns and hooks the leg for
the pin.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd cheers as Miller rolls off of Gable. He then slowly
gets up and looks up and smiles slowly before looking down. He then turns and
just walks over towards the door of the cage. He opens it up before stepping
through and dropping down to the floor. He then starts to walk around the ring
before walking to the rampway.
Sharper: “Miller wins it! Miller gets the win that he’s been so desperately desiring.”
Dawson: “And he does it in his old stomping grounds. Poetic justice.”
Miller continues on his way to the back as Gable remains down
in the ring. Miller doesn’t look back as he just walk up the rampway, the crowd
still cheering for him.
The scene opens up backstage and the crowd boos upon seeing
Mr. Drachewych standing next to Jessica Winters outside of the Infection locker
room. He can be seen smiling as Jessica leads in.
Jessica: “I am here with Mr. Drachewych and you’ve asked me
to come and give you some camera time. Can I ask why?”
Drachewych: “Well yes. I figured it would be best for me to
make the following announcement in this way. Given the fact that I am now the
highest ranking official present here at Retribution...especially with CHBK
making a nice visit to the hospital, I have decided to make a slight change to
the SCW Championship match here tonight.”
Jessica: “Wha? Why?”
Drachewych: “It’s more to ensure that fairness is done.
See...I realized that last month, we had a bit too much involvement in the
World Championship match. And so, tonight, to ensure fairness...I will be
acting as the special guest referee.”
The crowd boos loudly as Drachewych just smiles. Jessica Winters looks on in shock. Drachewych looks at her before
then turning and walking off. Winters continues to look on in shock as we go to
ringside.
Sharper: “He’s going to be the referee?”
Dawson: “Oh dear God. This is not going to end well.”
Knots: “Why? He wants to ensure fairness. That’s what he’s
going to do!”
Christian Savior vs. Shilo Valiant
SCW United States Championship
“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 IWC World 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. 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 which isn’t his,
hoisted high above him. He drops down and turns and places the title in the
corner before turning and awaiting the arrival of the United States Champion.
Dawson:
“Christian Savior has been waiting for this match since September. He now has
his chance to win the United States Championship.”
Knots:
“Yeah and Shilo Valiant better be ready. Because if not, Christian Savior may
not hold the belt of that lesser company....but he’ll regardless, there’s a
reason he’s carrying it.”
The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman screams
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.
The fans yells only grow louder as from seemingly the heavens, Shilo Valiant,
US Championship around his waist, flies from above the rafters on a black cable
as several white lights shoot out around him, the lights causing his white face
and colored hair to glow in eerie colors. Landing in the on the ramp, Shilo
unhooks himself, marvelling at the massive audience. The word "Necro"
is heard again. Making his way down the ramp, he keeps his eyes focused on the
ring. As the light flash and change, Shilo reaches the ring and climbs in. As
he stands on the turnbuckle, Shilo raises his arms up in his shooting gun poise
as the lights return to normal, revealing Shilo in full color. He then turns
and looks over at Christian Savior before taking off his US Championship and
handing it off to the referee.
Sharper: “Shilo Valiant has held the SCW Championship for
quite some time now and he’s got a huge challenge ahead of him.”
Knots: “A hungry challenger. Someone that wants that belt
more than anything else right now.”
The referee holds the title over his head before turning and
walking over to the ropes and handing the United States Championship off to the
timekeeper. He returns to the timekeeper’s table before turning around and
calling for the bell. Savior smirks as Shilo walks forward and looks at Savior.
The two continue to circle and Savior then moves in as Shilo goes for a grapple

corner and then taking him down with an armbreaker DDT. Shilo rolls over,
holding his arm and then starts to pull himself up. Savior turns and smiles
before grabbing Shilo in a side headlock.
Sharper: “Savior is clearly the more experienced here and he
managed to essentially tick Shilo off enough for this match to take place.”
Knots: “And Shilo’s going to fight, but is he going to
succeed. I don’t think so!”

was the End of the Year battle royal. You do the math.”

him re-entering and then runs after him only for Shilo to lower his head and
back drop Savior up and over the top rope and to the floor.

experienced, but Shilo is the quicker!”
Dawson: “And Savior just got dumped to the floor. Hard
landing and here comes Shilo again!”

at the belt. He looks back at Shilo who stirs from the spear and then holds the
belt over his head.
Sharper: “Shilo Valiant was so close, but Christian Savior,
the opportunist, takes advantage of a huge opening.”
Knots: “Savior has done it! He’s gotten the belt that he’s
desired! Step one is done!”
Dawson: “And now what’s next for Savior? What’s he next
plotting?”
Savior continues to hold onto the belt as he continues to
celebrate. He smiles as he then starts to walk around the ring and continue his
celebration.
Sharper: “And as we see the second title change tonight, can
we be three for four? Thorn has his opportunity against his friend Jake Starr.
Both men have had a hell of a ride to get here. Let’s see how we go to this
huge main event.”
A recap video plays showing the Contendership tournament and
its results, the results of the IWC/SCW Championship match at Two for One
Special before moving to the various happenings on the latest Breakdown.
Thorn vs. Jake Starr
SCW World Championship
“Cult of Personality” plays throughout the arena and the
crowd starts to boo loudly as we see Mr. Drachewych walk out from the back,
wearing a referee’s shirt and smiling. He looks out at the crowd which
continues to boo before continuing on his way down to the ring. He makes his
way over to the ring, dodging an empty cup thrown at his head before walking up
the steel steps and entering the ring. He walks around, his arms outstretched,
as the crowd boos more. Drachewych just smirks as he walks around the ring and
his music fades.
Sharper: “So here we go. Drachewych is the referee and with
two people in the ring he hates, I don’t see this ending well.”
Knots: “Oh come on. He just wants to make sure the match is
called fairly and as the highest-ranking SCW official, he’s doing just that!”
All is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a spotlight
drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll across the
video screen
INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….
The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the
keyboard starts again
PATCHING WITH THE "SOCIAL
MISFIT" EXPANSION...
The background sounds continue, then more words.
SUBJECT: THORN…
The background noise echoes loudly around the arena, becoming almost deafening
as tapping on the keyboard can be heard one last time.
EVALUATION: DEADLY…
The gunfire and sirens halt and all is silent before
two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp.
“I’d Rather Die Than Live Down On My Knees”
The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Death
Before Dishonour” by Five Finger Death Punch blasts out as the lights flicker
back on and Thorn can be seen on top of the arena, Charlotte by his side as he
looks out into the audience that are cheering loudly, chanting in some cases.
Thorn, still bandaged heavily around his head, stops and smiles before cocking
his head to the side and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning
motion with his hands, gesturing for the crowds to cheer louder before
fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he resumes
walking down to the ring again. As he walks past the barrier he high fives all
the outstretched palms as Charlotte simply looks on with a proud smile on her
face, waving to the odd fan that catches her attention before halting at the
side of the ring as Thorn slides underneath the ropes, looking briefly at
Drachewych. He glares at him before walking over to the corner and climbing the
turnbuckle, making the beckoning gestures again before playing to the crowds.
He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in
the centre, waiting for the match to begin, he looks to the outside at his
daughter and smiles as she applauds for him along with the crowds.
Sharper: “That look may say it all. Thorn clearly doesn’t
trust Drachewych here either.”
Dawson: “And Thorn doesn’t look in the best condition, but
he’s here, fighting for the SCW Championship against a friend. And you have him
in here to muck it up.”
Knots: “Oh stop it! You guys are too worried about things!”
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,
SCW 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. He then turns and looks at
Drachewych and just glares at him. Drachewych asks for the World Championship,
but Starr just shakes his head. He then turns and walks over to Thorn and shows
it to him before turning around and handing it to the timekeeper himself.
Drachewych just glares back at Starr before reluctantly stepping back.
Dawson: “How about that? Starr not trusting
Drachewych with his belt.”
Sharper: “And this match went from a match of respect and
honour to one where we’re not sure what to make of it.”
Drachewych calls for the bell and the crowd roars as Starr
and Thorn briefly both look to Drachewych then to each other. Thorn and Starr
then nod and start to move towards each other in the middle of the ring and
then lunge, grappling in the middle. Starr tries to push Thorn back, but Thorn spins around and manages to push Starr back to the corner.
Drachewych moves in for the break, but Starr pushes
out and then turns into a side headlock. Thorn winces and then slowly pulls
Starr back and against the ropes before firing him forward. Starr
bounces off the ropes and Thorn moves forward and attempts a running cross
forearm chop to the throat, but Starr ducks. He bounces off the other
side and Thorn lifts him up for a hip toss, but Starr turns through and
counters with a monkey flip. Thorn rolls over and gets up and both look to each
other and smirk as the crowd cheers a bit.
Dawson: “These two do know each other to some level. They’ve
faced off in the past before. Starr has won both encounters.”
Sharper: “Once for the Adrenaline Championship. The other time being the Chamber match.”
Both move towards the middle of the ring and again lock up in
the middle of the ring. Thorn pushes back again, but Starr then drops down and
sweeps behind. He then grabs Thorn and attempts a snap back suplex, but Thorn
flips through. Starr rolls over and Thorn kicks him in the ribs. He then nails
him with a hard right before turning and whipping him into the corner. Starr
bounces out and Thorn lifts him up and back drops him over. Starr gets back up
and Thorn turns and attempts a chop, but Starr ducks and Thorn turns only for
Starr to chop him in the chest. The crowd woos and Starr chops him again. He
then grabs Thorn in a side headlock before forcing him down with a takedown and
then jumping up and hitting a knee drop to the side of the head. Thorn rolls over
and Starr walks over and grabs Thorn and lifts him up. He hits another chop
before knocking him into the ropes. He then turns and whips him back. Thorn
bounces off the other side and Starr kicks him in the ribs before turning and
running into the ropes and hitting a running knee lift. Thorn rolls over and
Starr goes for the pin. Drachewych drops down to count.

Thorn kicks out and Starr glances at Drachewych, somewhat
surprised by a normal count. He then turns and grabs Thorn and starts to lift
him up slowly.
Knots: “See! Perfectly paced count there.”
Dawson: “A bit shocked by that. But with his actions in
recent months, do you blame us?”
Knots: “Yes.”
Starr nails Thorn with a snap jab to the top of the head.
Thorn spins around and Starr kicks him in the ribs. He then hoists him up and
throws him back with a vertical suplex. Thorn rolls over and starts to get up.

suddenly fires Starr into the ropes away from him. Starr bounces off the ropes

jumping up and dropkicking Starr in the forehead. Starr staggers over and falls
to the ropes. Thorn rolls over and grabs Starr before then lifting him up and
placing him on the top turnbuckle.
Sharper: “Thorn going for a big move early. He’s got Starr
seated on the top turnbuckle.”
Knots: “Yeah. And with Starr not quite worn down, this isn’t
necessarily smart.”
Dawson: “But with Thorn’s condition, can he last in a longer
match in which Starr clearly has to be the favourite?”
Thorn nails Starr with a hard uppercut and then starts to
climb up the turnbuckles. He headbutts Starr before grabbing him and setting
him up for a superplex, but Starr stands up and nails Thorn with a shot to the
ribs and then another before shoving Thorn off. Thorn hits hard and rolls back before
getting up and Starr then dives off and hits a blockbuster. The crowd cheers

Thorn kicks out again. Starr grabs Thorn and slowly helps him
back to his feet before kneeing him in the ribs.
Dawson: “I think we’re all shocked that Drachewych, right
now, is being quite impartial. No fast counts. He’s right there. He’s standing
back when he doesn’t need to be in the thick of things.”
Knots: “Maybe he just wants to make sure this World
Championship match goes without a hitch.”
Sharper: “Why do I struggle to believe that when he
undermined the one at Body, Heart and Soul?”
Starr then gutwrenches Thorn up and
powerbombs him down.
Starr turns and walks over to the ropes and then steps through to the apron and
climbs up to the top rope. Thorn remains down and Starr gets all the way to the
top rope before suddenly Thorn nips up. The crowd roars and Starr then dives

through the bottom and second rope and to the floor. He slowly gets up and Thorn
looks over and then looks down before turning and running into the ropes behind
him and then running towards Starr. He jumps over then top rope and hits a
corkscrew plancha over the top rope and down on top of Starr, knocking him into
the announce tables. The crowd cheers as both men,
roll over, in pain.
Dawson: “Oh my God! Right here in front of us!”
Sharper: “Twisting pescado over the top rope and Thorn took a
chance and it paid off as he takes down the champion!”
Knots: “But he may have hurt himself too.”
Dawson: “And I noted some hesitancy from Thorn. I think his
injuries are affecting his confidence with some moves.”
Sharper: “Well, I would think so as his vision has to still
be impaired from earlier this week. But regardless, he may still have to be
that risk-taker.”
Thorn rolls over slowly as Drachewych stands back, not
counting. Thorn slowly pulls himself up and leans on the announce table before
lifting Starr up. He then nails him with a forearm, knocking him back a bit. He
then turns and rolls Starr back into the ring. Starr slowly starts to get up

Drachewych before turning back.
Dawson: “What was that about?”

winning.”

bit. Better to be safe than sorry!”

time doing that in this match. But we know he usually is comfortable up
there. Depends on how his head’s doing tonight!”
Thorn climbs up to the top rope and then looks around before

Sharper: “Superplex takes down both men. Both men hit hard.”
Knots: “And Drachewych giving these fans what they want. A
winner! No countouts!”
Dawson: “Yeah, that’s why he’s doing it!”
Knots: “You have a better reason.”
Dawson: “Well...not yet...”
Knots: “Then stop with the lies!”
Starr and Thorn remain down, both
looking at the ceiling lights as they breathe deeply. Thorn remains on his back as Starr
slowly starts to roll over. He crawls a bit away from
the crowd before throwing himself on top of his challenger. Drachewych
drops down, again slowly, and starts to count.

Thorn gets his shoulder up. Starr rolls off. He looks up at
the lights and then rolls over in the opposite direction and slowly starts to
stir. Thorn rolls over in the opposite direction and Starr slowly starts to
pull himself up. Thorn slowly starts to get up and Starr nails him with a hard
right. Thorn staggers back and then turns back and nails him with a hard right.
Starr staggers back and fires back. Thorn does the same. Starr hits another
shot and Thorn fires back. Starr then kicks him in the ribs and drops him down
with a DDT. The crowd ohs and Starr rolls over and
starts to walk over to the corner.
Sharper: “Spiked him with the DDT and Starr, now, again in
control.”
Dawson: “Thorn’s window of opportunity is slowly
evaporating.”
Starr gets to the corner and turns around. Thorn rolls over
and stirs, slowly starting to get up. Starr then turns and runs at him and
nails him with a running boot. The crowd ohs as Thorn falls to his knees. Starr
then turns and walks back over to him and places his head between his legs. He
pulls him away from the ropes and attempts a flip piledriver, but Thorn counters
with a back drop. Starr manages to spin through and land on his feet, but Thorn
then jumps up and hits the Griever’s Bane! The crowd ohs and then cheers. Thorn
rolls over and sees Starr down. He then slowly starts to roll him over before
throwing his arm over Starr. Drachewych looks over before then slowly dropping
down and starting to count.

Starr shoots his shoulder up and Thorn rolls off as the crowd
ohs. Drachewych visibly looks relieved and Thorn turns and looks at him and
glares at him before slowly starting to get up. Drachewych backs away as Thorn
continues to move forward. Drachewych then points behind him, only for Thorn to
turn around and see Starr starting to get up. Drachewych lets out a sigh of
relief and Starr gets up and Thorn grabs him and places his head between his
legs. Starr, however, suddenly lifts Thorn up onto his shoulders and throws
Thorn over and face first into the top turnbuckle. Starr then turns and grabs
the top rope before springboarding to the top rope. He turns back and then
dives off and hits the Shooting Five Star. The crowd
erupts in cheers and Starr turns and hooks the leg. Drachewych just looks at
him and Starr looks up as the crowd roars. Drachewych just slowly drops down to
his knees and looks at Starr.
Sharper: “Count! Damn it! Count!”
Dawson: “Now do you realize he’s got ulterior motives?”
Knots: “Well Drachewych is probably just being fair. He did
unknowingly lead Thorn to this.”
Sharper: “Count!”
He finally slowly starts to count.

Suddenly, Starr is pulled out of the ring as the crowd erupts
in boos and we see Greg Cherry standing at ringside. Starr turns and Greg
quickly kicks him in the ribs before hooking the arm and then driving him down
with a vicious Pit Stop on the floor. The boos grow and Greg Cherry gets up and
then looks down at Starr and smirks before rolling into the ring, Drachewych
with a huge smile on his face.
Sharper: “Damn it! This was a damn screwjob and we knew it!
Greg Cherry is out here and...what the hell is
Drachewych doing?”
Dawson: “He’s coming over here. Maybe to
get a chair. I don’t know. Either way, this is just a damn shame!”
Greg gets up and looks at the downed Thorn. He smirks and
grabs Thorn and slowly lifts him up before kicking him in the ribs. He then
knees him before turning him around and jumping up and hitting the Cherry Pit.
The crowd erupts in boos and Greg looks up and smiles as
Drachewych grabs a microphone.
Drachewych: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement.
This match is now a triple threat match for the SCW Championship!”
Sharper: “Ah, God damn it!”
Drachewych smiles as he drops the microphone and the crowd
boos loudly. He walks back to the ring as Greg turns and motions for him to
come over. Greg drops down and goes for the pin. Drachewych goes over to count
as a faint “Bullshit!” chant begins.

Suddenly, Drachewych is pulled out of the ring as the crowd
erupts in cheers. Jason Zero stands there and nails Drachewych with a hard
right. Zero then turns and rolls into the ring. Greg Cherry looks around and
then rolls over and gets up only to turn around and Zero runs at him and drills
him with a spear. The crowd ohs as Greg rolls over and holds his ribs in pain
and rolls out of the ring. Drachewych and Starr both start to get up and
Drachewych slides in. He gets up and looks at Zero. Zero just smirks and starts
to laugh. Drachewych then lunges and attempts a hard right, but Zero blocks it
before grabbing him and dropping him down with a snap STO. The crowd cheers and
Zero then gets up as Starr slowly enters the ring as Thorn stirs.
Dawson: “Jason Zero! He’s just taken out both Greg Cherry and
Drachewych!”
Sharper: “Starr getting back up on the floor!”
Knots: “What the hell is he doing here?”
Dawson: “Maintaining the dignity of this match!”
Starr gets up as Greg starts to get up. He turns to Thorn and
Starr and both see him and get up before running over and together and taking
them up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd cheers. Starr and Thorn
then back up and turn to Zero and Zero just puts his hand up before grabbing
his t-shirt and lifting it up and over and revealing himself
to be wearing a referee’s shirt. The crowd roars as Starr and Thorn look a bit
confused. They both look to each other and Starr moves over and looks at Zero and Zero says something to him only to shake
his head. He then turns around and Thorn jumps up and attempts the Griever’s
Bane. The crowd ohs, but Starr pushes him off. Thorn lands hard on the mat and
rolls over and gets up and Starr kicks him in the ribs before pulling him in
and then hitting a flipping piledriver. The crowd cheers and Starr turns and
goes for the pin. Zero drops down to count.

The crowd cheers as Starr rolls off of Thorn. Zero walks over
and asks for the title, but Starr just walks over and pushes Zero out of the
ring and is handed it himself. Starr then turns and looks at the belt and
smiles a bit before reaching down and grabbing Thorn and slowly helping him up
to his feet.
Sharper: “I don’t believe what we just saw.”
Knots: “How the hell is he a referee? This makes no sense.”
Starr and Thorn raise each other’s hands as the crowd cheers
both them. Thorn turns to Starr and the two embrace before Thorn starts to
leave to allow Starr to celebrate. Starr just stops him and motions for him to
come over and both raise either other’s hands again. Zero meanwhile looks down
at Drachewych before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a sealed
envelope. He turns it over and tosses it on top of the downed body of
Drachewych. The camera moving in to reveal the initials “K K”
on the envelope. The cameras then turn back to Starr and Thorn as they
celebrate as Greg slowly stirs.
Dawson: “K K? Is Zero the other partner? What?”
Knots: “Oh hell no.”
Sharper: “Well we certainly have some questions that need to
be answered. In any case, Jake Starr retains the World Championship and he and
Thorn celebrating together.”
Knots: “It’s just a wonderful vision....right....”
Starr and Thorn continue to celebrate, going to each side of
the ring and raising each other’s hands before Thorn finally turns and embraces
Starr again. He backs away as Starr turns and walks over to the corner and
throws his arms in the air, holding the SCW World Championship high over him.
He then drop down as the crowd cheers. The scene then
slowly starts to fades to black as the credits roll...
