[Danny Vice]

T-Money Segment

The house lights fade to black as two sets of squad car lights pierce the darkness. The sound of a police siren and a few gun shots fill the air. "I’m A Thug" by Trick Daddy begins to boom through the PA while smoke fills the entryway. T-Money, DJ, and Bishop, also known as The Highly Untouchable Gangsters appear as silhouettes in the midst of it. From the stage, six shots of pyro are shot out above the crowd. T.H.U.G. step through the smoke to surprisingly, a mixed reaction and head down the ramp. Each wearing black T.H.U.G. T-shirts and baggy jeans, they slowly stroll to the ring. T-Money has the World Title draped over his shoulder and is carrying a black folder in his left hand. They climb the ring steps and enter the ring. They all pose as the cheers, along with the boos, grow louder. The theme music fades out as Michelle Madison hands T-Money a microphone.

T-Money: What’s good Detroit?! I got love for my man Bishop’s hometown. Besides him, ya’ll have bred many superstars such as Eminem, Aretha Franklin, Sugar Ray Robinson, Alice Cooper, and the list goes on and on. So it’s no doubt that ya’ll recognize true talent when you see it…

The crowd cheers loudly.

T-Money: And for those of you who didn’t know, this is my first public appearance since embarrassing the hell out of all five of my opponents at Reign of Terror to become the GWC World Heavyweight Champion. And in my sudden rise to “glory,” I’ve willingly turned down opportunities to appear on Conan O’Brien, Ellen DeGeneres, and Regis and Kelly. Even Oprah wanted me to come through and holla at her, but I gave them all the same answer and it was pretty simple….basically, I told them all to suck my d*ck!!

A mixed reaction erupts.

T-Money: When I was on trial facing time in prison, them fools didn’t give a d*mn about me or my outcome. Did I receive one letter of encouragement? No! Did I receive an opportunity to appear on their show to tell my side of the story? Hell no! If anything, they wanted to see me get locked up, but now that I’m the Champion, they think that I owe them something and I don’t owe them s*it! So all those punk a** talk show hosts can take that bulls*it somewhere else before they get blasted on, feel me? But…you know T-Money always thinks ahead. You have to when you grow up on the streets. Me being on Oprah or Conan could’ve exposed me and my crew to a whole new audience and been more beneficial in the long run, so why would I pass up an opportunity like that? Well I didn’t do it only for myself, I did it for the fans.

The crowd cheers.

T-Money: So to celebrate this wonderful occasion, I have a gift right here in my hand for all of you fans out there and everyone watching at home.

T-Money opens the folder to reveal a signed photograph of himself holding the GWC World Title. A mixed reaction from the crowd breaks out.

T-Money: This is just a small token of my appreciation. And for once, you can be proud of your World Champion. And don’t thank me with your words, thank me with your actions and with your support…

The entire arena goes dark and the crowd cheers loudly, expecting another attack from the mysterious man who seems to be overlooking the entire GWC. The light cut back after several seconds, only to reveal the photograph of T-Money has been torn in half. The crowd erupts loudly in laughter and cheers as a furious T-Money screams into the microphone.

T-Money: Who is messin' with my picture? Show yourself! I demand it!

A dark silouhette is shown on the Jumbotron at the top of the stage with smoke rising from his feet. His face is darkened out as he speaks with a voice distorter.

Man on screen: T-Money. GWC. This is a warning. You are all being watched. I have given plenty of warnings and plenty of chances. But soon, you will all feel my fury. It is your fate.

T-Money: No. You come out here right now and face me. I am not to be toyed with. I am THE WORLD CHAMPION!

Man on screen: Not......for......long.

Pyrotechnics explode around the ring, causing T-Money to jump. He throws down his microphone as he, Bishop, and DJ head backstage.

[Danny Vice]

Opening segment

BOOM! "My Last Breath" by Evanescence explodes through the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit as finally the opening of Wednesday Night Assault is here. The usual pyrotechnics and fanfare explodes as the cameras zoom in on Josh Harter and Phil Brooks.

Phil Brooks: Wow! What a start to another episode of Assault as it seems there is someone new looking after T-Money!

Josh Harter: You had better believe it. When you're on top, there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Everyone wants what he's got, and they will do anything for it.

Phil Brooks: Well tonight we have another huge show, as our opening match is the debut of Sides of Five and CXF. Tag team action as these two teams nearly ripped one another apart at Reign of Terror.

Josh Harter: Then we will see Stevie Riggs debut against BA Monk. Monk is just 7 days removed from the Annihilation Complex and can't possibly be at 100%, while Riggs is debuting in the ring after helping Ryder pick up the US title at Reign of Terror.

Phil Brooks: Then more tag team action with four men who are all looking for some redemption after last week's PPV, Thunder, Bishop, St. Eldor, and Reckless Jack are set to squaer off.

Josh Harter: Then our big main event, as Xavier Cross defends his Television Title against the one and only "Firestarter" Jamal Carter. It was Carter who held the title first before Cross took it off him weeks ago. Let's see if Jamal can make some noise and regain his coveted prize, TONIGHT ON ASSAULT!

CXF v. Sides of Five and Honey Valentine

Michelle Madison: The following is a tag team match. Coming to the ring first, at a combined weight of 475 pounds, " The Gift From The Gods" Felipe Salarose and "The Disciple" Zak Warner, CXF!

"What You Know About That" plays and smoke rises from the stage. Then golden sparks start to fall down from the roof around the ramp area as Felipe and Zak come out slowly basking in their greatness. Felipe looks to sky and smiles and then points to the ring looking at Zak and he nods. Then both men slowly walk down the ring taunting the fans as they walk before sliding into the ring. They go opposite turnbuckle and raise there hands as then golden sparks falls around the ring. They get down and Zak starts do a little Harlem shake to the rap music playing and Felipe shoots him a stare and he quickly stops. Both men then settle down and await their opponents.

Michelle Madison: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 326 pounds, Sides of Five and Honey Valentine!

I'd Rather Die Than Be Contagious, by Pierce The Veil picks up over the speaker system. The lights slowly dim, as the lights visually point towards the entrance area. The fans begin a chorus of boos, as Sides of Five emerges from backstage. The fans toss their debris at the entrance area, as Honey Valentine emerges along side with Five. Sides of Five grabs Honey by her hand, as the couple make their way down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, Honey Valentine climbs up onto the apron. Valentine stands on the apron, as Sides of Five rolls into the ring. Quickly returning to his feet, Sides of Five walks over to Honey, and lowers the middle rope for her to enter the ring.

Phil Brooks: This should be an interesting match, to say the least.

Josh Harter: You’re telling me. I don’t even know if I would call this a match.

The bell rings, and Felipe charges at Drake, as both men begin to pummel each other with blows. They lock up, and Drake Irish Whips Felipe into the turnbuckle. He runs over to The Disciple, and shoves him, as the ref stops Zak from climbing in the ring. While the ref is distracted, Honey chokes Felipe as Drake nails him with knife edge chops.

Phil Brooks- Oh come on, that just isn’t fair.

Josh Harter- Hey, she has to do what she can to help her man.

Suddenly, Felipe breaks the choke, and rolls out of the corner. As Drake turns to charge after him, he is met with a boot to the midsection, and then a swinging neckbreaker. Felipe gets up, and makes the tag to Warner. He immediately rushes over, and locks in a guillotine choke.

Phil Brooks- I think this is it, Drake might tap out.

Josh Harter- I don’t think so, he is stronger than that.

As Drake begins to fade, Honey rushes into the ring, and drags her nails down the back of Warner, causing him to break the hold. He turns towards her, and grabs her by the hair. He lifts her up high in the air, and slams her down with a vicious Sky-Hi.

Phil Brooks- Oh My God, I think he just broke her in half.

Josh Harter- That’s what she gets for interfering. She shouldn’t have agreed to the match if she wasn’t ready for some pain.

As Warner taunts the prone body of Honey, he fails to realize that Drake has risen to his feet. He spins Zak around, and nails him with a boot to the gut. He sets him up for the Revolution, but Felipe runs in and hits him with a shot to the back. As the two members of CXF signal for the end, Felipe lifts up Drake for a powerbomb and Zak jumps up and grabs him for a Back Cracker. Felipe drives him down into the knees of his partner, and Drakes spine bounces off of Zak’s knees. Warner makes the cover as Felipe places his foot across Valentines chest…..one….two….three. CXF raises their hands in victory, as the crowd boos them for their actions.

Michelle Madison: Here are your winners….CXF!

Josh Harter: Wow, impressive!

Phil Brooks: CXF said they were going to take care of business in the tag team division, and their debut as a team was definitely worth remembering. Look out Lexington Royale! Look out Stephen Grace! Look out Reginald Churchill! The CXF are making a statement tonight.

Ryder, Aria Cross, and Stevie Riggs segment

We cut from the arena to the backstage area where we see new United States Champion Ryder conversing with his manager, Aria Cross. The two Affliction members seem focused on their discussion and don't notice Stevie Riggs approaching them. The newcomer to the GWC appears to have something on his mind.

RIGGS: "Ryder. Ms. Cross. How are you two doing this evening?"

ARIA: "We are doing fine. Is there something we can help you with?"

RIGGS: "As a matter of fact, there is."

Riggs flashes the Mistress of the Affliction a smile before addressing the U.S. champ.

RIGGS: "So what do you say Ryder? Maybe a little thank you for helping you out with the punk ass JW McCammon? After all, you wouldn't have that title belt if it weren't for me."

The Unholy Warrior looks unamused and responds in kind.

RYDER: "First of all, I did not require assistance in defeating JW McCammon. All you did was save him from another Last Ryde. Secondly, no one asked you to help. So what kind of thanks do you want exactly?"

RIGGS: (looking thoughtful) "I believe you two are involved with a little stable called the Affliction? Well, as a way of thanking me, you can grant me a spot in the aforementioned group. What do you say to that?"

Ryder and Aria look at each other, turn around, and whisper a few words back and forth. Coming to a decision, they face Riggs again.

ARIA: "You have a match tonight against BA Monk. Is that correct?"

RIGGS: "Yeah that's right."

RYDER: "Before we allow you to become a part of the Affliction, you must prove yourself against Monk."

Stevie looks a bit shocked.

RIGGS: "Prove myself? What do you call what I did at Reign of Terror? That wasn't proof enough?"

RYDER: "That was a start. However, if you manage to defeat BA Monk and make a lasting impression on us, we will grant you membership in the most elite collection of wrestlers this business has ever known. Do we have an agreement?"

Stevie looks back and forth at his possible future stablemates before answering.

RIGGS: "Alright then. You got it. I was already planning on beating him within an inch of his life. You want more proof? I'll give it to you in the form of BA Monk's head on a stick. How's that?"

Stevie doesn't wait for a reply and walks out of sight. Aria puts her arm on Ryder's shoulder.

ARIA: "What do you think?"

RYDER: "I hope he wasn't kidding about the head on a stick comment."

The Affliction members turn and walk in the opposite direction as we head back out to the arena.

Stevie Riggs v. BA Monk

Michelle Madison: The next match is set for one fall, coming to the ring, from Greenville, South Carolina, weighing 231 pounds, BA Monk!!

"One Out of 3 Has an STD" by Casey Jones begins to play. Red lights flash over the crowd as BA Monk makes his way to the ring in his wrestling tights with "xmonkx" written on the back in red, black boots, and a t-shirt. He rolls under the bottom rope and goes to the far corner to taunt the crowd. He gets to the center of the ring and raises his arms in an "X" as red pyro goes off behind him in the same shape.

Michelle Madison: And his opponent, coming to the ring, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing 245 pounds, he is Stevie Riggs!!

"Stricken" by Disturbed begins to blast over the PA system as golden pyros explode all around the entrance ramp. Threw the cloud of smoke comes Stevie Riggs. He stands on the ramp for a few seconds and looks around at the crowd. He then makes his way down the aisle and slides into the ring. Riggs than makes his way to the middle of the ring and looks down at the canvas, he slowly raises his arms to his side as golden pyros begin shooting out of behind the turnbuckles.

The bell rings and both men circle each other. They lock up in the middle of the ring and Stevie Riggs takes control with an armbar, then switches it and throws BA Monk to the mat with a headlock takeover. BA Monk sits up and gets pushed back down by Stevie Riggs. BA Monk looks at Stevie Riggs a bit confused, but Stevie Riggs then boots him in the side.

Phil Brooks: Looks as if Riggs is going to give Affliction exactly what they requested of him.

Josh Harter: Well it's time he answers them and shows just what he is made of.

Both men get back up to their feet and circle each other, then lock up once more. Stevie Riggs then takes control again with an arm wringer, turning it into a hammerlock, but BA Monk reverses into one of his own. Stevie Riggs then reverses that into a top wristlock and kicks the knee out of BA Monk and slams him to the mat. Stevie Riggs then starts pushing BA Monk into the ropes on the ground and tries to kick him out of the ring. The referee breaks it up and makes Stevie Riggs let BA Monk get up. Stevie Riggs poses to boos from the fans as BA Monk gets back to his feet.

Phil Brooks: Thus far, all I learned about Stevie Riggs is he is just as cocky and arrogant as that old Eric Kennedy bastard was.

They lock up again, with Stevie Riggs locking in a side headlock. He grinds it in a little, before BA Monk elbows him in the gut and shoves him off into the ropes. Stevie Riggs comes back and knocks BA Monk down with a shoulder block. Stevie Riggs pauses again and looks at the crowd as BA Monk is on the mat. Stevie Riggs picks BA Monk up and whips him into the ropes, but BA Monk ducks a clothesline attempt from Stevie Riggs and takes him down with a deep armdrag. Stevie Riggs gets up quickly and rushes BA Monk, who again hits another deep armdrag. They both get back up and BA Monk hits Stevie Riggs with a standing dropkick. Stevie Riggs gets to one knee as does BA Monk and they both look at each other. Stevie Riggs can’t believe that happened as the crowd cheers for BA Monk.

Phil Brooks: Great execution thus far from Monk as he looks to try and mount a little offense.

They lock up and Stevie Riggs hits a quick kneelift and then connects with multiple roundhouse kicks followed by enziguri! Stevie Riggs shoves BA Monk into the ropes and stretches him back in between the ropes as the referee starts a five count. Stevie Riggs lets go at four and hits BA Monk in the back of the head. BA Monk is still in between the ropes as Stevie Riggs guillotines him on the top rope. BA Monk falls to the outside and Stevie Riggs follows. Stevie Riggs pushes BA Monk against the ring barricade and starts clubbing his chest and back, then slams him back by the hair onto the ground. Stevie Riggs rolls in and back out of the ring to break the ten count. Stevie Riggs slaps BA Monk in the back of the head a couple of times and rolls him back into the ring. Stevie Riggs looks at the crowd, who are booing him, and then gets back into the ring. Stevie Riggs nails BA Monk in the back with a double axe handle as BA Monk is on his knees. Stevie Riggs then lifts BA Monk up in a vertical suplex and goes into a flapjack, saying “Here we go!” in the process. Stevie Riggs then makes a cover, holding his fist in the air, for only a two count though. Stevie Riggs then chokes BA Monk with both hands twice as BA Monk is kicking around. The ref makes Riggs let BA Monk go and Monk sits up. Stevie Riggs slaps him in the back of the head a couple of more times and locks in a reverse chinlock with a knee in the back. BA Monk fights out of it and goes to whip Stevie Riggs into the ropes, but Stevie Riggs reverses and BA Monk comes back with a flying cross body block! BA Monk only gets a one count though as Stevie Riggs kicks out immediately.

Josh Harter: It will take more than that to beat Riggs. I am impressed with him thus far.

Phil Brooks: Yes, but are Ryder and Aria impressed?

Stevie Riggs then knocks BA Monk for a loop with a vicious clothesline. “Not today!” is heard from Stevie Riggs as he is looking at the crowd with BA Monk lying on the mat. Stevie Riggs then lifts BA Monk up for the Flatliner, but BA Monk reverses into The Edge! Monk makes the cover, but Riggs has his foot on the ropes and it breaks the count. Monk gets up as does Riggs, but as Monk goes for snap suplex; Riggs reverses it into a twisting belly to belly suplex! Stevie Riggs is looking for BA Monk to get up as he says “It’s almost over!” BA Monk gets to one knee as Stevie Riggs positions him and lifts him up with the Flatliner!! Stevie Riggs hooks the leg as he makes the cover...one...two...three!

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner....STEVIE RIGGS!

Josh Harter: Riggs made a guarantee and then delivered on it.

Phil Brooks: Definitely a bright start to the career of Stevie Riggs here in the GWC.

Jamal Carter segment

The crowd is electrified as “Fireproof” by Pillar hits the speakers. The crowd in Boston jumps to their feet and cheer loudly as Jamal Carter enters through the curtain. Carter wears a white Kingdom Come t-shirt, black jeans and white RBK shoes. Carter walks down the ramp way with a smile on his face. He slaps some fans’ hands as he nears the ring. He slides into the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckle and poses to a standing ovation from the crowd. He gets a big pop from the crowd, dismounts the turnbuckle and motions for a microphone.

Jamal Carter: What is up Detroit?!

The Detroit fans stir up a ruckus to answer Carter’s question.

Jamal Carter: Last week, at Reign of Terror, I dealt with Bishop and stepped a little bit closer to finally dealing with T-Money.

Carter’s statement gets a good pop from the crowd.

Jamal Carter: Now, for the past month since the announcement of the World Title match and T-Money’s participation in it, a few scenarios have come to mind. Now that I have a match with T-Money and now he is World Champ.

The crowd boos slightly yet a little of the crowd cheers.

Jamal Carter: And in a few weeks, will be GWC’s biggest Pay Per View, Kingdom Come!

The crowd cheers.

Jamal Carter: I have decided…that T-Money vs. myself..will NOT happen at Kingdom Come.

Josh Harter: What?!

The crowd boos loudly and Carter tries to calm them.

Jamal Carter: Hey, hey, hey. I’m not saying that T-Money and I won’t deal with each other someday but I will give him credit. He came out on top in a brutal Annihilation Complex match. Now I don’t feel sorry for his bruises but I have a feeling someone else wants T-Money more than me. But there is something that has caught my eye. At Kingdom Come is a match called the Dark Crusade and…

A Guitar and a Heart by M83 hits.

Phil Brooks: What is this?!

Rick Mad steps out from the back, a grin on his face. Jamal looks towards him, not quite knowing what to expect. Rick has a mic in hand.

Rick Mad: Jamal Carter. You must be wondering out here. That'll be explained in time. First, let me address all of GWC and its fans. Let's be honest with each other here. I haven't exactly been setting the world on fire since my arrival here, have I? There are various reasons for it, but honestly, I'm done with it. I'm done. I've decided to step up now, to actually make something of myself.

Jamal Carter: So? Why the hell are you interrupting me?!

Rick Mad: Elementary, my dear Watson. For me to step up, I need an opponent. A worthy opponent, someone who means something around this place. Who better than someone who has a Title shot at some point? I don't want to go all out and challenge the Champ yet, I'm not crazy, but you, Jamal Carter. You're just good enough to make me look good, but not quuuitteee good enough that I need to worry about you beating me.

The crowd "oooh's" a bit at Rick's slight burn. Carter, of course, has taken offense.

Rick Mad: So at Kingdom Come, if you choose to accept... You and me, Carter, one on one. But that's the catch, isn't it? You need to accept. Contrary to popular belief, I can't just run up there and attack you and automatically get a PPV match. So I'll await your answer next week, buddy.

"A Guitar and a Heart" hits before Carter can respond as Mad heads backstage. Carter leaves the ring somewhat confused on what just transpired.

Thunder and Bishop v. St. Eldor and Reckless Jack

Phil: Put a cage around these guys, and its Reign of Terror all over again.

Josh: We can only pray that we have, an amazing match like that… but you have to say, Thunder, probably holds a grudge against T-Money, the current champ, and he has to team with Bishop, a friend of T-Money’s… Some incredible planning by Danny Vice.

Phil: It looks like he is just throwing matches and gasoline onto the fire now.

Josh: Make G.W.C. burn brighter than ever then.

The camera moves to the ramp, where Thunder and Bishop are making their way out. The two of them are walking apart from each other. At one point Bishop is stops midway up the ramp and shakes his head as Thunder turns around. They shoot a look at each other, but after a few moments they manage to both get into the ring.

Michelle: Residing from New York, standing Six foot One, he weighs in at 230 pounds, he is the former G.W.C World Champ, this is Thunder….and his partner… from Detroit, Michigan, he stands at 6 foot 7 and weights two hundred and 70 pounds, he is the street’s disciple, this is Bishop!

The two men look at each other again and walk to their corner, they are talking about something, probably strategy.

Next out are Reckless Jack followed by St. Eldor, Reckless seems to be the leader of this group. They seem confident and ready for a win. These two seem a bit more organized than Thunder and Bishop as both RJ and SE enter the ring at the same time and pat each other on the shoulder, getting ready for the their upcoming match up. The ref stands in the middle of the ring as Michelle goes to makes her final announcement before announcing the winner later on.

Michelle: In the other corner, we have hailing from Toledo, Ohio, he is the Fallen Angel, weighing in at 186 pounds, and standing at 6’4...he is…. St. ELDOR!!! And his partner hailing from Brooklyn, New York, he stands at six feet even, and weights 215lbs, he is the Reckless One…RECKLESS JACK!

Michelle hurries out of the ring as the two teams confer on the side. Reckless Jack and Thunder will start things off as the ref calls for the bell. Thunder and Jack circle each other, talking a bit of trash as Jack bounces off the rope and tries to do a running leaping calf kick, but Thunder catches his leg and tries to turn it into a form of the Shining Wizard. But Jack almost does a Matrix like avoidance and uses Thunder’s momentum against himself, and flips Thunder on his back, locking in a single leg boston crab. Thunder screams in pain as he lifts himself up, he ends up powering out of it as Bishop runs in to break it up. Jack goes flying forward and Bishop catches him into a lifting DDT, which he turns into a stall, and then dropping Jack onto his head.

Josh: Damn, that had to hurt!

Phil: For two enemies, Thunder and Bishop seem to be working well together.

St. Eldor doesn’t let Bishop be the only illegal man in, before Thunder can get up, St. Eldor’s at the top rope and does a top rope, double leg stomp onto Thunder’s back, sending him onto the ground. Bishop grabs St. Eldor and puts him into a Death Valley Driver Position, he then walks over to the ropes and hurls Eldor outside, the impact is loud. But Jack uses the now on his elbow and knee’s Thunder to jump off of and does a tilt-a-whirl DDT over the top rope to the outside, leaving three men on their backs outside. Thunder has recovered now and is taking advantage of the situation. Just hurling himself off the top rope, Thunder lands on the half revived men knocking everyone down.

Phil: Huge move from the former champion as he continues his onslaught on all of his opponents, past, present and future.

Thunder and Bishop have St. Eldor isolated, Thunder has St. Eldor up on his shoulders and nails the Thunder and Lightning (Death Valley Driver) Bishop then does top rope leg drop onto the knocked out St. Eldor. But Jack is up on the same rope that Bishop just got off of, both Thunder and Bishop are taunting over the fallen St. Eldor… But the crowd is chanting…

Crowd: Look behind you!

Simulationiously both Thunder and Bishop turn around, to see upside down in the air Jack who nails a double top rope Pele Kick. Jack stands in the middle of the ring, the fans are going nuts for him. But Thunder is slowly reviving behind him. Jack turns around just in time and ducks Thunder's attempt to lock in the Million Dollar Dream, and hits Thunder with A Trigger Full of Promises. Cover by Jack...

Josh Harter: It's over...

1...

2...

Broken up by Bishop, who came flying in at the last possibly second.

Phil Brooks: Huge save from Bishop, but the referee is forcing him out of the ring!

Josh Harter: And St. Eldor is looking to help Jack double team Thunder.

As St. Eldor and Jack grab Thunder for a double suplex, Creeping Death slides out from under the ring. He rolls inside and grabs St. Eldor, and nails him with The Eulogy of the Dead!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Phil Brooks: CD has been under the ring all night, just waiting for the time to strike! Look out JACK!

Jack turns just as CD goes to strike, but instead CD grabs Thunder and hits him with A Bid Farewell. CD turns to Jack to make the cover and rolls out of the ring. Jack complies and lies across Thunder. CD runs around the ring and pulls Bishop off the apron and clotheslines him to prevent him breaking the pin.

1...

2...

3...

Michelle Madison: Here are your winners, St. Eldor and Reckless Jack!

Phil Brooks: Was that calls for a truce?

Josh Harter: I couldn't imagine so, but it looks like Creeping Death wasn't here for Reckless Jack after all.

Jack has his arm raised by the oblivious referee as "The Calling" hits the speakers. The crowd are on their feet, as Jack scales the turnbuckle to celebrate, all the while taking glimpses over at Creeping Death just to be sure. CD begins to head back to backstage area as Jack continues his celebration. Suddenly, Jack slides out of the ring and catches CD on the rampway, and delivers a vicious Reckless Killing on the ramp.

Phil Brooks: Oh My! It looks like Jack had no intention of forgiving CD, no matter at what costs! This crowd is electric!

Josh Harter: Reckless Jack is a bastard! He has no place here in the GWC! Get security out here. Hell, get the cops down here! This is ridiculous!

Jack heads to the back as the crowd cheers him loudly.

The crowd pops at the name of Jamal’s name. Carter shakes some fans’ hands on the way to the ring. He slides into the ring and mounts the nearest turnbuckle. He poses to the crowd as his music dies down.

Josh Harter: We have heard endless excuses from Carter about how it was an upset being beat by Xavier Cross. Cross is finally going to shut Carter out.

“Bring ‘Em Out” by T.I. comes over the loudspeaker and the fans cheer as Xavier jumps out from behind the curtain and runs down to the ramp, as he is running stage pyro is going off, it is colorless but loud, it goes off three times. Then when Xavier is in the ring he stands in the middle in a fighting stance, he throws a punch then ring pyro from the turnbuckles go off, he throws another punch and another set up ring pyro goes off, and as the song fades he does a corkscrew flip kick and ramp pyro goes off all the way down followed by ring pyro again. Xavier leans on the ropes opposite of the ramp. He and Carter stare each other down.

Josh Harter: I'm feeling a fire starting!!!

DJ and Bishop sprint down the aisle and slide into the ring immediately attacking Jamal Carter. Xavier Cross quickly comes to Jamal’s aid tosses Bishop over the top rope. DJ tries to nail Cross with a cross body block, but Cross quickly turns around, catches him in mid-air, and tosses him over the top rope as well. K-Dawg and G-Money rush down the aisle and begin to brawl with DJ and Bishop. T-Money quickly follows suit and jets down the aisle. He slides into the ring and comes face to face with Jamal Carter.

Josh Harter: Yea, Detroit is full of a bunch of wild savages isn’t it?

Jamal draws back a right fist to nail T-Money, but Xavier grabs his hand and sets him up for the Cracka Flip as T-Money watches with a grin on his face. Cross nails the move on Carter!! That was brutal! The Playmakers notice what has just happened to Carter and try to enter the ring but quickly fall victim to T-Money and Cross as they aren’t even fully able to make it inside of the ring. DJ and Bishop then join in on the attack and the Playmakers become outnumbered as T.H.U.G. are too much to handle. T-Money calls for a microphone.

T-Money: This right here is how I plan on ending my special night. I’ve enlisted another thug in T.H.U.G. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Xavier Cross!

The fans boo loudly Cross turning on them for T.H.U.G.

T-Money: This is the only man, besides my crew, to have my back during my trial. That’s true loyalty right there and I’m big on that. He and I have had our differences in the past, but that beef’s been squashed. We’re two grown men so we easily worked that out. Our minds are set and it’s only set on one thing…takeover! We’ve already begun, but when will it be over? Hope to God that it’s soon GWC, you better hope all you can….

T-Money drops the microphone onto the mat and each member of T.H.U.G. raise their arms in the air to an extremely loud mixed reaction. Suddenly, "Gonna Fly Now" by Bill Conti hits the speakers as Danny Vice steps out to a huge ovation from the Detroit crowd. He has a microphone in hand and looks pissed.

Danny Vice: God dammit T-Money, just who the hell do you think you are busting into the main event and dropping Jamal Carter like that. I'm tired of everyone around here getting in each other's business, when this is not about you, or you, or you, or really any of you. It's all about these great GWC Fans!

The crowd pops loudly.

Danny Vice: As for you idiots out there in the ring...Bishop...Xavier Cross. I have a special match for you. It's my DARK CRUSADE!

The crowd pops as rumors have spread about the Dark Crusade match since before Reign of Terror.

Danny Vice: It will be an 8-man, 3 fall battle. And the first prize for the winner of the submissions match will be Xavier Cross' precious Television title!

Xavier looks stunned that his title is being put up in a match of this magnitude at Kingdom Come.

Danny Vice: Now it isn't just you guys I'm getting tired of dealing with, but also that pain in the ass Aria Cross and her band of merry men, Affliction. So the second fall, the hardcore falls count anywhere portion of the match, will be for Ryder's United States title!

Bishop and Xavier Cross smile, knowing another title will be on the line during the Dark Crusade.

Danny Vice: And the other participants of that match will include Lexington "The Poet" Royale...

The crowd booes.

Danny Vice: JW McCammon...

The crowd pops at the mention of The Mercenary.

Danny Vice: And the man who is the most deserving of that Television Title.....Darkness!

Xavier Cross freaks out in the ring as the crowd cheers. Cross knows he was nearly beat at Reign of Terror, but now with more competitors it seems unlikely he can escape this match with his coveted title.

Phil Brooks: Quite the bomb Commissioner Vice has dropped on us here tonight.

Josh Harter: I'll say!

Danny Vice: But T-Money, it's you I've been the most disgusted with. So don't think you're getting out of Kingdom Come without something special in store from The Vagrant. Next week, on Assault, it will be Thunder against Creeping Death against Reckless Jack for the #1 CONTENDERSHIP FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!

T-Money's jaw drops, knowing he will be forced to defeat one of the three leading contenders of last week's Annihilation Complex in order to remain World Champion.

Danny Vice: Like my own partner at Kingdom Come, Joe Ragnal would say, just so that we can have a double dose of FUN in store for you, the ladder portion of the Dark Crusade match will be specially for T-Money. Because hanging above the ring at the Verizon Center will be a guaranteed contract for a World Heavyweight title shot, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!

"Gonna Fly Now" hits the speakers as Vice drops his microphone atop the stage. The Detroit crowd goes ballistic as the credits begin to roll for Assault. Inside the ring, the four members of THUG looked stunned at the announcement of the Commissioner.

Josh Harter: TWO MATCHES CONFIRMED FOR KINGDOM COME! THE DARK CRUSADE AND T-MONEY v. EITHER THUNDER, CREEPING DEATH, OR RECKLESS JACK!

Phil Brooks: And can the Dark Crusade get any bigger! First fall: Television Title! Second fall: United States Title! And the third fall: a guaranteed title shot for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE! We'll see you next week!
