5/2 Wednesday Night Assault Results (19)

[Danny Vice]

Fireworks explode inside fo the famous Madison Square Garden as the crowd hits their feet to the sound of "Forget To Remember" by Mudvayne kicks off Wednesday Night Assault. The New York City crowd is going wild as the cameras pan through to see multiple signs such as "THE KINGDOM OF RYDER COMETH", "Triple X is Rated PG" and "I'd like to spread my Honey on her Valentine". The cameras finally come and settle in on Josh Harter and Phil Brooks for their opinions and takes on the show.

Phil Brooks: WOW! What an ovation from this NYC crowd for Assault tonight. I am Phil Brooks here with Josh Harter and we have an ENORMOUS night ahead.

Josh Harter: I cannot say he's lying folks. Some big time matches with a lot of big answers. But first, the long awaited debut of Raphael Erion against Triple X.

Phil Brooks: Triple X fired last week, quickly rehired, and booked. What's this guys story?

Josh Harter: I have no idea, but I do know that a 6-man tag team match will follow where we will see CXF team with Joe Ragnal against Michael Walters and Dead End.

Phil Brooks: CXF has essentially guaranteed the tag titles will be theres as they move through the tag division, while Joe Ragnal and Michael Walters will team up with Danny Vice and Mike Sullivan respectively in a dangerous FUN House Match at Kingdom Come. After that, possible opponents Jamal Carter and Rick Mad will face off with THUG's DJ and Bishop.

Josh Harter: The three men in that ring surrounding Carter all want a peice of him, there's no way he can possibly feel comfortable and safe in that ring.

Phil Brooks: Then a big handicap match with JW McCammon against Aria Cross and Ryder.

Josh Harter: McCammon wants his revenge on Affliction, and will Stevie Riggs play a role in the match? Or Dead End?

Phil Brooks: Then, our #1 contender match to face T-Money at Kingdom Come. Thunder. Reckless Jack. Creeping Death. It's like lions, tigers, and bears, all in the ring at once. Oh man!

Josh Harter: I know how you f...

Josh is cutoff by "Gonna Fly Now" hitting the speakers and Danny Vice coming out to a huge applause from the New York crowd. He heads down to the ring with a microphone in hand.

Josh Harter: Oh, ok.

Phil Brooks: It seems that Commissioner Vice is going to get things started tonight!

Danny Vice: Hello, hello, beautiful New York, New York!

Crowd pops, suprise, suprise.

Danny Vice: A city so nice, they named it twice. I have come down here to make another big announcement regarding Kingdom Come and the Global Wrestling Coalition. You see, I announced last week there will be the Dark Crusade match and then named 6 of the 8 competitors for the match. So I have decided that we will find out our last 2 competitors, next week on Assault. And it will be in an 8 man elimination battle royal, where the final two competitors will head to the Dark Crusade. And just to make it a little more FUN...the battle royal will be NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!

The crowd cheers the stipulation for next week's match.

Danny Vice: Now that isn't all. Because at Kingdom Come their will be a new title introduced to the GWC. A title that will be of a very special nature. This title will be ALWAYS constested under hardcore rules...

Josh Harter: A hardcore title?

Phil Brooks: He isn't done yet...

Danny Vice: But it will be defended EVERY SINGLE WEEK on Assault. To be the holder of this title, you must be one of the toughest, meanest, and most incredible superstars in the young history of the Globabl Wrestling Coalition. And a title this magnificent, can only have one name. THE ULTIMATE TITLE!

The crowd cheers as "Gonna Fly Now" hits the speakers as Vice heads to the back.

Phil Brooks: You heard it here folks, No DQ Battle Royal next week and a new ULTIMATE title at Kingdom Come!

Josh Harter: But how will the Ultimate Champion be determined?

Phil Brooks: I guess we will have to wait to find out!

Triple X v. Raphael Erion

Wednesday Night Assault returns from commercial break with a young man with short red tights standing confidently in the ring. On the leg of his tights are three Xs.

Michelle Madison: In the ring, weighing in at 227 lbs., Triple X!

The crowd doesn’t give him much reaction. He crosses his arms in an X sign to the still silent crowd.

Josh Harter: This kid gets no reaction from this electric crowd here in Madison Square Garden. He’ll be the first man in GWC to be fired twice if he keeps this up.

“Lift” by Poets of the Fall hits the sound system. The arena lights go a bright white and white smoke pours out onto the entrance. A man in all white attire appears, facing the heavens, uttering a prayer.

Michelle Madison: Making his way to the ring, from The Domain, weighing in at 235 lbs., Raphael Erion!

Erion walks to the ring, basking in the white spotlights which focus on him. Erion wears white pants, white shoes and white wrist tape. Erion enters the ring and looks over at Triple X. Triple X holds up an X sign again but Erion walks to a near turnbuckle, mounts it, and looks up to the heavens.

Crowd: Erion! Erion!

Phil Brooks: This man, Erion, has over the past couple of weeks impressed us with confidence but he better not become too overzealous out in the ring.

Erion dismounts the turnbuckle and stares over at Triple X. Michelle Madison exits the ring and the ref signals for the bell. The bell rings and Triple X charges Erion. Erion slides out of the way and Triple X lands in the corner. Erion delivers repeated punches to Triple X then follows up with a few knees to the gut. Erion hip tosses Triple X out of the corner, delivers a few stomps to Triple X’s head and drops an elbow.

Josh Harter: Erion dominating in the early going.

Erion goes for the pin.

1.
2.

Triple X gets his shoulder off the mat at 2.

Erion jumps up, pulls Triple X up and Erion puts Triple X in a standing Fujiwara armbar locking it on his left arm. Triple X waves for some crowd support but they continue to cheer Erion. Erion rolls Triple X over on to his back on the mat and drops his knee on the shoulder of Triple X. Erion releases the hold, twists Triple X’s left arm and pulls him up to his feet. Erion goes behind Triple X with an armlock. He sees his opening and tosses Triple X, shoulder first, into the steel turnbuckle post.

Phil Brooks: Oh! I think I heard a pop!

Triple X pulls himself out of the turnbuckle holding his shoulder. Triple X turns around, Erion grabs his left arm, and hits him with a falling armbar. Triple X makes a real nice bridge reversal into a pin.

1...

2...

3!!!

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner, Triple X!

Phil Brooks: He did it! Looks like this guy gets to keep his job here after all.

Josh Harter: Good, because I am interested in seeing if he can walk the talk he's thrown out there heading into this match this week.

Mike “The Icon” Sullivan Segment

Mike “The Icon” Sullivan is with his “personal assistant”, Ms. Adkins, inside a wrestling school. He has his usual wrestling gear on. Beside him is someone training there to be a wrestler.

Sullivan: Today, I am here, giving a young possible upstart a once in a lifetime shot to face a professional wrestler. Here is the lucky guy to get this shot.

The guy chosen to wrestle Sullivan steps up beside him, he looks to be 5’9, about 190 lbs. He is wearing a grey tank top and black shorts.

Sullivan: So, what’s your name?

Trainee: Chris.

Sullivan: Okay, I know you are just training to become a wrestler. I will just take it easy on you. This will be just for fun, alright?

Trainee: Sure.

They walk to where the ring is located and get in the ring. Each gets in a neutral corner.

Sullivan: Okay, here we go.

Each man comes out and the corner. Chris locks up with Sullivan in a collar and elbow tie-up. Sullivan backs Chris into a corner and knees Chris in the gut several times. Sullivan starts to manhandle Chris, using his most brutal of maneuvers to punish Chris. But while this is going on, Sullivan keeps calling Chris by “Ragnal”.

“Come on, Ragnal! You don’t belong in MY sport!” Sullivan says as he drills Chris with a right hand, sending him to the mat.

He smacks Chris in the back of the head repeatedly as Sullivan sets him up for the Iconiclypse.

Trainer: Come on! That’s enough, d*mnit!

Sullivan: Shut your d*mn mouth or you’ll be next! And any body else who has a problem can step in next!

He nails the Iconiclypse and slaps the mat three times.

He looks into the camera.

Sullivan: Just like this punk, Ragnal, you don’t belong in MY sport. You belong in some d*mn carnival!

Mike Sullivan gets out of the ring and walks away with Ms. Adkins. Everyone stares at with disgust, but no one dares attack. Mike Sullivan walks out of the school and gives Ms. Adkins a pat on the butt. They leave in their car as the scene ends.

Joe Ragnal and CXF vs. Michael Walters and Dead End

Josh Harter: Do you ever get tired of it, Phil?

Phil Brooks: Tired of what?

Josh Harter: Ya know, the routine. Music plays, guys come out, pose a little then fight...

Phil Brooks: You ever heard of tradition, Josh? You know what, just watch the match...

Michelle Madison: The next match is a six man tag team match! First coming to the ring, accompanied by his teammates CXF, here is Joe Ragnal!

"Violence Fetish" by Disturbed plays as Joe Ragnal enters the arena to the crowd's cheers. Joe jumps around on the stage to pump the crowd up, and then CXF come out behind him. All three men walk down the aisle and enter the ring. They all stare up the ramp, waiting for their opponents.

Michelle Madison: And their opponents, making their way to the ring, Michael Walters and Dead End!!

"Debonair" by Dope plays as Michael Walters comes out to the stage, followed by Dead End. They all simply walk to the ring, Michael’s eyes fixed onto Joe Ragnal. They climb into the ring and collectively get in the faces of their opponents.

Phil Brooks: Plenty of stories here. Ragnal and his quest to defeat Icon Corp. The constant battle in the tag division and the emergence of CXF.

Josh Harter: Eh, Dead End has been on the brink of championship gold and now these new guys wanna come in and try to push them around? I find it unlikely.

Emperor and Phantom shove The Disciple and Felipe! Suddenly and simultaneously Joe Ragnal and CXF start battering Emperor, Phantom, and Walters with right hands. The Disciple gains the upper hand on Emperor and Felipe gets the upper hand on Phantom and a clothesline later, Dead End find themselves on the floor. CXF follow them out leaving Joe and Michael in the ring. The bell finally rings and this match is officially underway. Walters takes control sending Joe Ragnal into the ropes. Joe comes off into a hard knee from Walters sending Ragnal to the mat, clutching his midsection. Joe Ragnal gets to his feet and Walters hits a couple of cross chops before getting a waistlock on Ragnal. Joe Ragnal blocks a suplex attempt on Walters before being able to reverse the waistlock and hit a suplex of his own! Joe Ragnal gets up and tags in Felipe.

Phil Brooks: Salarose now enters the ring, not too much known about this somewhat newcomer yet. But I'm excited to find out.

Josh Harter: Not me. Felipe Salarose sounds like the guy who cuts my lawn. And I'm pretty sure he's gay.

Felipe enters the ring and starts on Walters with some right hands. He builds momentum before sending Walters into the corner. Walters bounces off and Felipe is there to meet him and send Walters into the opposite corner. Walters falls down and Phantom comes charging into the ring. Felipe meets him with a clothesline. Emperor follows and Felipe backdrops him to the outside. Felipe shouts something out to Emperor before turning around and finding that Walters and Phantom are both on their feet. They lift him into a double flapjack! The referee finally suggests that Phantom exit the ring. He makes his way to the corner. Meanwhile, Walters drags up Felipe and brings him into the corner of Dead End and Walters tags in Phantom. Walters holds Felipe as Phantom enters the ring and Phantom delivers a kick to the midsection to Felipe.

Phil Brooks: This is why Dead End can be so dangerous. They're suicidal. They're enormous. And they're...

Josh Harter: Constantly screwed out of the tag titles?

Phil Brooks: Not where I was headed, but back to the action.

Phantom now methodically works on Felipe's midsection. He lifts Felipe up and delivers a Phantasmal Welcome! Felipe gets to his feet but as he does Phantom hits the Ghostly Ride and Felipe is in obvious pain. The ref comes over and sees if Felipe wants to give up, but Felipe shakes his head furiously. He taps his foot to try and get the crowd behind him and starts to hit a couple of elbows gaining a little separation. Phantom tries to tighten the hold, but Felipe lifts him into a modified swinging neckbreaker. Both men are now down and the ref starts a ten count. Disciple and Emperor are both wild in their corners wanting a tag. At five, they're both making their way to their corner. Phantom makes a tag first and Emperor comes charging in the ring and lands a punch on Disciple and Joe Ragnal before Felipe can make it!!! Emperor lifts up Felipe and whips him to the corner. Felipe reverses the whip and Emperor bounces out of the corner and Felipe lifts him up setting up the Castro's Catastrophe!!! However, all the work done to weaken his midsection is showing and Felipe falls to the mat. The ref counts the pin attempt...one...two...Disciple leaps off the top rope and hits the Swanton on Emperor!!! Emperor is down and Felipe, wanting to take advantage, tries to crawl over to his corner to make a tag to the outstretched hand of Disciple who has returned to the corner, but Emperor grabs the leg of Felipe. Felipe winces as he makes it to his feet and then delivers an enziguri to Emperor! Felipe dives and makes the tag to Disciple!!!

Josh Harter: I hate when this part happens.

Disciple enters the ring and starts delivering right hands to Emperor! He sends Emperor into the corner. Emperor comes off and is met by a huge backdrop from Disciple. Walters and Phantom come charging into the ring but they're met by CXF who sends them to the outside and then follows. Meanwhile Disciple stalks Emperor and as he gets to his feet is lifted into The Genesis!!! Disciple covers...one...two...three!!!

Michelle Madison: Here are your winners...Joe Ragnal and CXF!

"Violence Fetish" hits as the three winners roll out of the ring and celebrate.

Josh Harter: Damn that Ragnal, and that CXF too!

Phil Brooks: Perhaps, but each has put themselves in a better position coming into Kingdom Come.

THUG segment

The house lights fade to black as the sound of gun shots fill the air. "I'm A Thug" by Trick Daddy begins to boom through the PA while smoke fills the entryway. T.H.U.G. step through the smoke to a vast amount of boos and head down the ramp. Four shots of pyro go off near the entrance as they slowly walk to the ring. They enter the ring and pose simultaneously by raising their arms in the air. Their theme music fades out.

T-Money: Well, well, well, well, well. New York City. The home to all the playas and pimps we know and love. We are here tonight because we heard that Kingdom Come is gonna be all about the rich and famous. So, seeing as we all plenty rich, and plenty famous, we'd invite our own special guest from the depths of infamy.

"I'm a Thug" by Trick Daddy hits again, and Adam "Pacman" Jones steps out onto the stage to a loud chorus of booes from the New York fans. He heads down to the ring, with his jersey on, and slides in. He hugs Xavier, DJ, Bishop, and T-Money before taking the mic to address the crowd.

Pacman Jones: Yeaaaah! That's right bitches. Pacman's up in dis place now!

Chorus of booes.

Pacman Jones: And ya'll better believe I be with these boys all the way up till Kingdom Come. And if any of yous in the back try to step up and make somethin outta somethin...I'MA MAKE IT RAIN!

The crowd again booes Jones as he, T-Money, and Xavier Cross exit the ring to the outside to leave DJ and Bishop to their match.

[Danny Vice]

DJ and Bishop v. Rick Mad and Jamal Carter

Michelle Madison: In the ring, they are two members of T.H.U.G. and accompanied by the World Champion T-Money, the Television Champion Xavier Cross, and Pacman Jones....DJ and Bishop!

The lights go dark. A Guitar and a Heart by M83 begins playing. About 10 seconds in, green light slowly envelopes the stage, and three seconds after that (as the intro of the song ends and it really begins) green pyro blasts from the stage and the lights come back on. Rick Mad is on the stage. He walks to the ring calmly, rolls in, and climbs one turnbuckle. Green pyro blasts from the other three. He then climbs down.

Michelle Madison: Their first opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...

The mention of Philly makes the home crowd in New York boo.

Michelle Madison: RICK MAD!

"Fireproof" by Pillar. After entering through the curtain stage pyro goes off. Shakes fan's hands before entering the ring. He is dressed in a New York Rangers hockey jersey and gets a huge ovation from the MSG crowd for it. Before the match, he prays on the turnbuckles like Rey Mysterio.

Michelle Madison: And his partner, from Birmingham, Alabama...JAMAL CARTER!

Phil Brooks: Although Mad is a newcomer here, Carter has a history with everyone in this match. He and DJ have known each other for a lifetime, while Carter has feuded with THUG for months now.

Josh Harter: And it was Xavier Cross that defeated Carter for the Television title back in March.

As the bell sounds, Rick Mad and DJ exit the ring, leaving Jamal Carter and Bishop in the ring. The two men lock up, with Carter getting the advantage. He puts Bishop in a side headlock, but Bishop powers out of it and sends Carter into the ropes. Bishop then hits Carter with an axe kick and makes a quick tag to DJ. DJ hits the downed Carter with kicks to the head and abdomen, and then picks him up for a DDT. DJ places Carter against the turnbuckle and charges at him, but Carter moves out of the way and DJ slams into the turnbuckle. Carter follows it up with a german suplex, and then makes a tag to Rick Mad.

Mad charges at DJ and immediately sends him back down to the mat with a clothesline. He then pulls DJ towards the turnbuckle, hits him with a snap suplex, and then climbs to the top rope. Mad waits there, preparing to hit a missile dropkick once DJ reaches his feet. But Bishop shoves Mad off the top rope, causing him to land badly on the mat. With Mad now down, T.H.U.G. is back in control as DJ tags in Bishop. Upon entering the ring, Bishop uses his ground and pound attack that he calls the Beat Down. Once Bishop is done, Mad is now on his knees, which proves to be costly for him. Bishop uses this opportunity to hit Mad with a shining wizard, which effectively knocks him out.

Phil Brooks: You don't wanna be down, or even on your knees against this team.

Josh Harter: Ironic how often that happens to Rick Mad. You know...being on his knees.

Instead of making a tag, Bishop decides to end the match by hitting a split legged moonsault. He then makes a cover.

1…

2…

Mad kicks out and Bishop can’t believe. Frustrated, he tags in DJ. DJ picks up Mad and hits him with a backbreaker, which causes Mad to scream out in pain. He then climbs the top rope and attempts a crossbody, but somehow, Mad catches him and hits a fallaway slam. With all the energy he has left, Mad makes the hot tag to Carter. Carter enters the ring and immediately takes down both DJ and Bishop with rights, lefts, and dropkicks. A clothesline sends Bishop back outside the ring, where Mad hits him with a missile dropkick.

Josh Harter: Good guy in, take control, big comeback...the usual.

In the ring, Carter hits the Last Stand Powerslam, and goes for the pin.

1…

2…

Bishop pulls Carter out of the ring and hits him with a lariat. Mad cuts off further attack by hitting him with a cobra clutch suplex. At this point, DJ is the only man left in the ring. Once her regains his composure, DJ hits a suicide dive onto Mad and Carter, but also hits Bishop in the process. Now all four men are laid out on the floor.

Josh Harter: Someone get up and take control of this match.

Phil Brooks: Not gonna lie, being this close to Pacman Jones kind of scares me.

Mad and Bishop are the first up, and they reenter the ring and exchange punches. Bishop ducks a clothesline from Mad, and lifts Mad up for The Betrayal. Somehow, Mad slips out from behind and rolls up Bishop.

1…

2…

Mad attempts to continue his offense, but Bishop quickly counters it with the Michigan Cutter, and then attempts a pin.

1…

2…

Carter breaks it up, but DJ hits him out of nowhere with a DDT. Mad looks to his corner to make a tag, but Carter is pulled outside by T-Money and Xavier Cross. Mad turns around and catches a kick to the stomach from Cross, and both Bishop and Cross lift him high in the air for a double suplex, but Mad shifts his weight and hits a huge double DDT.

Phil Brooks: Huge move by Rick Mad. DJ is out of the ring on the arena floor seemingly unconscious while T-Money goes to attend to him. But Xavier Cross is holding Carter in place while Pacman hits him with hard right hands. The referee is watching the match and doesn't even see it!

Josh Harter: I love it, divide and conquer at it's finest.

Phil Brooks: I wouldn't say that as Mad looks in control.

Mad climbs the turnbuckle and hits a diving headbutt on Bishop. He hooks the leg for the cover.

1...

2...

Kickout by Bishop. That was a nearfall. Carter is put back in his corner by the members of THUG. Mad tags him in even though he can barely make it into the ring. Mad whips him over to Bishop, who drills him with The Betrayal. Mad stands and laughs as Bishop hooks the leg.

1...

2...

3!!!

Michelle Madison: Here are your winners..THUG!

"I'm A Thug" hits as the group heads to the back. Rick Mad asks for a microphone as he stands over Jamal Carter, laughing.

Rick Mad: Ha, ha, ha! You see Carter, you can get the thoughts of the Dark Crusade out of your mind. It's not in the cards for you. There's only one person who you want to get your hands on at Kingdom Come. You know it. I know it. And that's...me.

Carter climbs to his feet as the crowd chants his name. He takes the microphone from Mad while rubbing his neck and back.

Jamal Carter: No! You don't deserve to face someone as good as me at Kingdom Come. And next week, I will qualify for the Dark Crusade.

Rick Mad begins to turn around, before hitting a vicious right hand on Carter, dropping him to the mat. Mad then leaves the rign as the crowd booes, while Carter regains himself and heads back as well.

JW McCammon v. Ryder and Aria Cross

Ryder and Aria switched in and out of this match frequently to wear down the outnumbered McCammon. Aria impressed everyone with her repertoire of submission holds, but McCammon refused to be denied as he broke each hold with his own power or a rope break. Finally, McCammon gained the advantage on Ryder with a McCammon Driver, but Aria broke up the count. McCammon then tossed Ryder out fo the ring and hit a McCammoNn Driver on Aria for the three count. Yet when the match was over, and Ryder was trying to get Aria out of the ring, McCammon came in with two chairs and scared Ryder off, before delivering a vicious con-chair-to to Aria, and effectively sending a message to Ryder and Affliction.

Winner: JW McCammon

Affliction Segment

We cut back to a shot of United States Champion Ryder walking hurriedly through the locker room area with all of his gear to get to the exit and follow Aria to the hospital. He has his United States title draped over his shoulder. However, the Unholy Warrior is stopped short by an excited Stevie Riggs.

RIGGS: "Hey Ryder. I've been looking for you all over. Sorry about Aria but I needed to talk to you."

RYDER: (looking agitated) "What do you want?"

RIGGS: "Well you said beat BA Monk and I did. I kicked his ass all over that ring. So what do you say? I'm in, right?"

Ryder stares at Riggs for a moment before responding.

RYDER: "You...you want to know if you deserve to be in the Affliction? I'll tell you what. You're not done yet. No, there's still more that must be done before I can truly believe that you will be loyal to the group. At Kingdom Come, my United States Championship will be unfairly up for grabs in the second fall of that pathetic excuse for a match that Danny Vice cooked up. I want you to acquire one of the final two spots in the match and make sure I don't lose my title."

RIGGS: "But what about what you said last week-"

RYDER: (interrupting) "That's not all. The third fall actually is intriguing to me. A guaranteed shot at the World Champion, whomever that might be. Once you've gained entry into the match and once you've made sure I keep my United States gold, you have to help me win that third fall ladder match. Then I will have ultimately proof of your loyalty to me."

Stevie looks dumbfounded at the new tasks set before him.

RIGGS: "Are you kidding me? How is that fair? I do what you ask last week and beat Monk's sorry ass and now this? There's not much incentive for putting so much of myself on the line. Yeah maybe I can win the first fall and become Television Champion but that would be it. What's my motivation?"

RYDER: "First of all, joining Affliction should be motivation enough for you. However, once I've become World Champion, I may be looking to give my United States title to a worthy competitor. Perhaps someone who has shown me never ending loyalty?"

Stevie looks thoughtful now as he realizes the opportunities before him.

RIGGS: "So if all goes to plan, I could win the T.V. title at Kingdom Come and then possibly even have the U.S. belt as well?"

RYDER: "That's right, my friend."

RIGGS: "Alright then. You've got a deal-"

RYDER: (interrupting again) "Good. Now I've got to go and check on Aria. McCammon will pay dearly for what he's done."

Ryder turns to leave and exits the arena, leaving Stevie behind.

RIGGS: "Time to make an impact."

Stevie walks out of sight as we head back out to the arena.

#1 Contender Match for World Title
Thunder v. Reckless Jack v. Creeping Death

The lights slowly fade to black. Bells toll as the screen shows shots of a big wooden cross wrapped in barbed wire. It's a sunny day as the "happy" opening to "The Light That Blinds" by Shadows Fall plays.The crowd goes along with the sounds. "Doo-da-doo dooing" along with it. As the song gets darker and darker, the sunny day turns to night. Black clouds roll in and rain begins falling on the cross. Lightning crashes about. As the lightning crashes, white lights in the arena flash. When the song kicks up, thirty four seconds in, the entire crowd begins headbanging in unison and throwing the horns in the air as the lights come on just a tad, giving light to the dark. Standing on the stage is Creeping Death, wearing a black hoodie with the hood up, arms stretched out in a crucifix fashion. CD stands there for a second or thirty, until the vocals start, taking in the crowd's reaction. Then he slowly makes his way down the ramp, looking out into the audience. As he reaches the ring, he slides in under the bottom rope, and pops to his feet. CD walks over to a turnbuckle, jumps to the middle rope facing in the ring, does the crucifix pose once again, takes the hoodie off, and then takes a seat on the top turnbuckle, awaiting the match to begin.

Michelle Madison: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the right to face T-Money at Kingdom Come for the World Heavyweight Title! Making his way to the ring...CREEPING DEATH!

We hear the start of A.F.I.'s "This Time Imperfect" comes into the arena as the lights go out. Blue strobe light starts up as the crowd rocks out to the song, awaiting the next wrestler to come out down to the ring.

"I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky
As I turn blue

There are no flowers
No, not this time
There will be no angels
Gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile
But I'm too weak
I'd share with you
Could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me"

The strobe light stops only to see it start again, this time with a reddish hue to it. A faint silhouette is shown in the entry way, kneeling down with his head down. There is also a white mist surrounding the area where the silhouette is at. The crowd knows who it is at this point and they start to all throw their arms in preparation for who is about to do it.

"I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved
I'm make believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems no one will appear here
And make me real"

The strobe light stops as pyro explodes as a red spotlight shines brightly on Reckless Jack as he is kneeling down. He springs to his feet and throws his arms out. The fans are cheering seeing Reckless Jack as he starts to breath deeply and exhale. Reckless Jack looks on at the fans, some of which happening to be headbanging out to the song while the others are just kinda enjoying what is going on. Reckless Jack smirks as he starts to walk down to the ring in his wrestling attire. The spotlight stays on him as the people continue to cheer. He slaps a few hands on his way to the ring.

"There are no flowers
No, not this time
There will be no angels
Gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile
But I'm too weak
I'd share with you
Could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me"

Once Reckless Jack is in the middle of the ramp, he stops and starts to hype himself up as he throws his arm into the air and lifts it high. A string of pyro shoots down the ramp as he brings the arm back down. He continues slapping hands with the cheering fans. After he gets to the ring apron, he rolls into the ring, hopping on the nearest turnbuckle, throwing out his arms once more. The crowd cheering, as he hops down and does the same on the opposite turnbuckle. He jumps off the turnbuckle, then crouches down, waiting for his match to start.

Michelle Madison: And our second competitor...RECKLESS JACK!

"Money" by Pink Floyd begins to play. As the cash register sound ends and the music begins, Thunder walks towards the ring. He reaches the apron and climbs the turnbuckle, taunting the fans.

Michelle Madison: And our final competitor...a former GWC World Champion...THUNDER!

The bell rings as we are underway with this match here tonight. Reckless Jack and Creeping Death rush towards each other and collide. They get back up and start to exchange kicks all over the place. Thunder sits in the corner and watches the two of them beat the hell out of each other. In fact, he starts to laugh so Jack and CD both run towards him and Dropkick him right in the face! After that, the two men go back to kicking each other. CD gets the advantage and hooks Jack's head for a DDT. Jack reverses into a Northern Lights Suplex. A release varation anyways. Thunder stays on the outside, watching both of them beat the hell out of each other.

Phil Brooks: Thunder staying outside and out of harms way, waiting to pick his spot.

Josh Harter: That's why he's been the champion before and why he will be again at Kingdom Come.

Phil Brooks: He has to get there first.

Both RJ and CD are up on their feet and start to brawl. CD rears back and clocks RJ right out of the ring. RJ staggers back up to his feet only to get met with a Plancha by CD. Thunder slides into the ring and stays there. CD picks up RJ and whips him towards the guard rail. RJ jumps up and lands on the rail. He then Moonsaults over CD's head and hits the Failsafe! The ref is yelling at them to get back into the ring as Thunder stands around, waiting to do something. RJ pays no attention to the ref as he throws CD into the crowd. CD gets back up and starts to throw right hands at RJ after he jumps into the crowd.

Phil Brooks: These two want nothing to do with Thunder, it's all about Reckless Jack getting even with Creeping Death!

Josh Harter: and of course, CD getting back at RJ as well.

The two disappear into the crowd as the ref looks at Thunder. Back out in the crowd, RJ has just been thrown into a stack of chairs. CD sees a good jumping point up in the stands and starts to climb. Once he is on top of it, a good ten feet above RJ, he flies off with a Frog Splash that just decimates both men. The ref sees this on the tron screen and has the bell rung.

Josh Harter: Well, what exactly is going on here?

The ring announcer comes over and talks to the ref. The ring announcer nods his head as he lifts up his microphone.

Michelle Madison: I have been told that Reckless Jack and Creeping Death have been deemed unable to continue so the winner of this match and Number One Contender for the Global Wrestling Coalition World Heavyweight Championship... THUNDER!!!

The crowd boos as Thunder smiles.

Phil Brooks: Wow, Thunder didn't even have to do anything and he will get his rematch with T-Money at Kingdom Come!

Just right as the show is about to go off the air, we go backstage to see Creeping Death and Reckless Jack still fighting each other. Security comes over to break up the on going brawl as Danny Vice enters the picture.

Danny Vice: I have had enough of you two fighting all the time. There is only one way to settle this issue between the two of you. At Kingdom Come, it will be Reckless Jack vs. Creeping Death in not a Hardcore Match, not an Ultraviolent Ladder match but instead a match the two of you have never faced each other in one on one. That's right, you two are going to face off in just a plain old normal match for the first time ever. May the best man win.

Reckless Jack and Creeping Death look at each other for a moment before going back to trying to kil each other as the credits for Assault roll.

Phil Brooks: We'll see you next week for our Battle Royal! Someone get more security!!!

[Danny Vice]

Here's the show, pretty good build for KC. Awards, Mayhem/Assault cards, and Hot 10 will be up later today...if not tomorrow.

I guess that I know now that CXF is the challenge to get, but with my next match against The Poet makes it a great challenge for me to grab the win out of the hat...

God, one of the Icon Corp. JOBBERS loses again...
