Bobby Cairo v. Kevin Sensation

Michelle Madison: “Now coming to the ring standing at 6’4 and weighing in at 250lbs, hailing from Hartford, Connecticut….here is……Bobby Cairo!”

"Karate" by Tenacious D begins to loop over the PA as Kevin Sensation appears on the top of the entrance way with one hand held in the air. He makes his was to the ring high giving a few of his fans and taunting the others. He climbs into the ring and poses in the middle before going to the ropes to taunt the crowd some more.

Michelle Madison: “And his opponent, standing at 6’2 and weighing in at 274lbs, hailing from………..erh….where ever he damn well pleases….Here is….KEVIN SENSATION!”The ref calls for the bell as Sensation goes for a lockup, but Cairo sends a few quick shots to the midsection, Sensation holds his stomach as Cairo nails a European upper cut, sending Sensation into the ropes. Cairo moves over to Sensation, but Sensation stomps the foot of Bobby, sending a kick to Cairo’s stomach, and bouncing off the ropes Sensation nails a DDT, flipping Cairo over on the mat.

Phil Brooks: Impressive showing there by Kevin Sensation.

Josh Harter: But he'll need to do a lot more to put Cairo away.

Sensation taunts for the crowd as he bounces off the rope and kicks Cairo in the back, sending a sound throughout the arena. Sensation lifts Cairo up, and whips him into the ropes, as Cairo comes back Sensation goes for a Clothesline, Cairo ducks and grabs Sensation, nailing a huge belly-to-belly suplex.

Phil Brooks: Sensation was only one second away from a big victory.

Josh Harter: What a shock. I didn't know 3 comes after 2.

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner, by disqualification....BOBBY CAIRO!

Phil Brooks: Cairo got the victory, but the big story here is that BA Monk is back.

Josh Harter: Not only that, but he appears to have alligned himself with Kevin Sensation.

Cairo turns around and catches a spinning heel kick from Monk, who leaves Cairo laid out in the ring. He helps Sensation to his feet, who then climbs the top rope and crushes Cairo with a massive big splash from the top. He and Monk then pose in the ring, before leaving.

Chrysta v. Kid Alpha

Phil Brooks: “Here we go, folks. The Ice Queen gets set to face off against one of the EPW invaders.”

Josh Harter: “They may call her the Ice Queen, but she gets my blood boiling.”

Phil Brooks: “Just try to focus and call the match.”

Josh Harter: “Oh I’ll be focused alright. Focused on Chrysta’s sweet a-“

Phil Brooks: “Josh! Let’s just get to the introductions.”

Michelle Madison: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. First…coming down the aisle…she stands at 5’8” tall and hails from Juno, Alaska…this is the Ice Queen…Chrysta!”

“Senzafine” by Lacuna Coil plays as the lights turn dark blue within the arena. As Christina Scabbia begins to sing, the Ice Queen walks out, staring emotionlessly at the crowd as they boo her. Focusing forward on the ring, she walks slowly down the ramp and rolls inside. She stands and walks to the ropes closest to the announce table, staring around for no reason whatsoever.

Michelle Madison: “And her opponent…weighing in at 216 pounds and standing at 5’10” tall…he hails from Long Island, New York…representing EPW…this is Kid Alpha!”

The opening to “Superman” by Goldfinger hits and Kid Alpha makes his way out from behind the curtain. The crowd cheers as Alpha makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans. He then sprints towards the ring and dives under the bottom rope. He gets up, runs over to the far turnbuckle, and then jumps up to the second rope. The Kid raises his arms, climbs up to the top rope, and does a back flip down to the canvas. He then points to the sky as the music fades out.

Phil Brooks: “We’re all set now for this exciting singles match. Chrysta looks to be all business as always and Kid Alpha isn’t showing any signs of hesitation due to her gender. This should be an intense confrontation.”

Josh Harter: “You’ve got that right. Especially since the lovely Chrysta was screwed out of the Ultimate Championship last week. She’s got to take her frustrations out on someone. I only wish it were me.”

Phil Brooks: “Down boy.”

Chrysta and Alpha lock up in the center of the ring. They struggle for a moment before Chrysta shows off a display of strength by tossing the Kid back toward the corner. He shakes it off and they lock up again, only with the same result. They lock up a third time and again Kid Alpha is knocked down. He slides out of the ring for a moment to compose himself.

Phil Brooks: “The Ice Queen showing off some power here and it looks like Kid Alpha isn’t liking it.”

Josh Harter: “He needs to get in there and take his beating like a man. This is no time for getting cold feet.”

Alpha climbs back inside the ring and it looks like they’ll be locking up for a fourth time. However, the Kid swings around behind Chrysta and hits a couple of forearms to the back, staggering her. He then bounces off the ropes and hits a huge dropkick to the back of her head, knocking her down to the mat. He again runs to the ropes and hits a springboard leg drop for a quick two count. Instead of arguing with the referee, the Kid starts hitting some mounted punches as the audience counts to ten along with him.

Phil Brooks: “Alpha has found a way around Chrysta’s power game and is hitting some great offense here with the crowd behind him. The Ice Queen appears to be in trouble.”

Josh Harter: “Not for long, Phil. She’ll find a way out of it.”

Phil Brooks: “Why? Are you offering to jump in there and help her out?”

Josh Harter: “Well, no. I mean…she can handle herself.”

Phil Brooks: “That’s what I thought.”

After the mounted punches, Kid Alpha stands Chrysta back up and prepares to Irish whip her off the ropes. Unfortunately for him, she reverses it and clotheslines the hell out of him on the way back. The fans begin to boo as she puts the boots to him for a few moments. She then stands him up in the corner and begins to choke him out with her boot as the referee starts the five count. She breaks it off in time and lifts the Kid up onto the top turnbuckle.

Phil Brooks: “What’s going on here? Is the Ice Queen going to go airborne with Kid Alpha going along for the ride?”

Josh Harter: “I’d like to go airborne with her. Maybe we could join the Mile High Club.”

Phil Brooks: “Maybe I should talk to Danny Vice and see about having you banned from watching any of Chrysta’s matches from now on.”

Josh Harter: “No! Why would you do that to me?”

Chrysta climbs up and positions Kid Alpha for a superplex. She goes to lift him for the move but is blocked. She tries again but is still unsuccessful. The Kid has now started to hit some shots to the ribs, breaking the Ice Queen’s hold on him. Finally he shoves her down to the mat and looks to hit a high risk move from the top rope. Alpha jumps and hits a corkscrew moonsault perfectly on Chrysta! There’s the pin…1…2…3-no! She kicks out at the last second. The Kid looks at the referee in shock at this turn of events.

Phil Brooks: “What a maneuver! Kid Alpha hits the Alpha Twist yet Chrysta has somehow kicked out! I don’t think he knows what to do now.”

Josh Harter: “Damn. For a second there…nevermind. Chrysta has things well in control. No way a silly flip is going to beat her.”

The Kid shakes his shock away and looks for the kill shot. He stands up Chrysta and now hits the Alpha Driver, which is a cradle piledriver. She looks to be out in the center of the ring. There’s another pin…1…2…3-no! The Ice Queen has kicked out again! This time, however, Alpha’s not messing around. He springs up to the top rope, waits for Chrysta to stand, and hits an amazing 720 DDT from up high! Now he makes the pin a third time…1…2…3! This match is over.

Michelle Madison: “Here is your winner…Kid Alpha!”

“Superman” by Goldfinger plays once again as the referee raises the Kid’s hand in victory. Alpha, however, is look down at the prone body of Chrysta with an incredulous look that can only express one sentiment…

Phil Brooks: “How the hell did he finally keep her down long enough for the three count?”

Josh Harter: “Luck. Pure luck. I guarantee that won’t happen next time to my Ice Queen.”

Phil Brooks: “Your Ice Queen, huh?”

Josh Harter: (sighs) “I can only dream.”

Ultimate Title Match
Cam Connor (c) v. Phantom v. The Emperor v. Kid Hollywood

The Hollywood billboard sign is shown on the Tron. As the sounds of guitars fill the arena...

Theres a shadow just behind me, shrouding every step I take.
Making every promise empty, pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path of must we, just because the son has come.


Kid Hollywood emerges from the smoke, two ladies around each arm. He comes out, his cocky smile plastered on his face, he walks out fromt he smoke and Gold pyro starts to fall behind him, as he continues to walk down the ramp...

Jesus, wont you fucking whistle. something 'bout the past been done.

Why cant we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why cant we drink forever?
I just want to start this over.


The two ladies remove Kid's ring jacket, they both plant on on Kid's lips, he slides into the ring and holds out is arms (ala Orton) as gold and silver pyro rains into the ring....

Michelle Madison: The following contest is for the Ultimate Title! Introducing first, from Hollywood, California, weighing in at 245 pounds, KID HOLLYWOOD!!!

"Memory" was played as the Emperor walks out of the backstage with an barbed-wire bat and looks at the crowd as he walks into the ring with his personal secretary, James, then relax as he await the next opponent.

Michelle Madison: From Montelier, Vermont, weighing in 190 pounds, THE EMPEROR!!!

Dr. Strangeman comes out first and says, "Coming down the ramp weighing in at 320 lbs, your Hardcore Savior, the man known as Phantom." He then walks down the ramp to await him at ringside. Then a video plays that shows man walking down a hallway and when he reaches the end; the man lifts his head and it shows a skull on fire w/ a barbwire crown. Then Dead Eyes See No Future starts, as fog rolls in and the lights turn a blood red.

Giving our blood
To the doomsday machine
Fighting for ravaged land
A worthless gain
Marching on a dead end road

A violent new disorder
Feeding off mistrust
Forgot what we were fighting for
A worthless aim
A victory stinking of despair

Dead eyes
See no future
Falling from grace
We are coming home

Battalions of hate
Seeking shelter in hell
Bloodstained memories
Will we ever be forgiven
Our twisted fate
Time will tell

Then after about a minute, Phantom walks out in a black trench coat and strolls down the ramp. When he reaches the ring apron, explosions go off like clockwork. Then he climbs over the top rope and gets into the middle of the ring and kneels like the Undertaker and then a group of pyros goes off that look a skull. Then takes off his coat and slumps himself in the corner like Raven.

Michelle Madison: From places where man fears to tread…PHANTOM!!!

Pyros light up the stage as "To Be Loved" by Papa Roach plays throughout the arena. The crowd explodes as "Agent 5" Cam Connor emerges from behind the curtain. The young favorite of many in the audience makes his way down the ramp and toward the ring. Connor slides under the bottom rope and pops up in the center of the ring, raising his hands in the air repeatedly with his palms outstretched to draw more noise from the Agent 5 faithful. They rain down their adoration as he makes his way to the turnbuckle, climbs up, and lifts his fists in the air. The music finally fades but the cheers do not as he bounces off the ropes to loosen up for his match.

Michelle Madison: And from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, he is the Ultimate Champion…CAM CONNOR!!!

Phil Brooks: The Ultimate Title is on the line here in what will be an amazing hardcore battle.

Josh Harter: But expect a lot of teamwork here.

Phil Brooks: Teamwork? Surely, you must joking. There’s never much working together when a title’s on the line.

Josh Harter: Come on, Emperor and Phantom are tag partners. That gives them a clear advantage unless Connor and Kid Hollywood can work together.

And don’t call me Shirley.

The bell sounds and Emperor and Phantom immediately go after Connor with boots to the head and stomach. This doesn’t last long as Hollywood breaks it up, sending Phantom over the top rope with a backdrop.

Josh Harter: See, I was right.

Phil Brooks: For once.

While Hollywood was taking care of Phantom, he had not noticed that Emperor had crawled over and grabbed his barbed wire bat. Not even waiting for Hollywood to turn around, Emperor cracks him in the back of the head with the bat. The onslaught just continues. He rakes the bat across Hollywood’s forehead until it is drenched with blood. He then hits him with a DDT on the bat and mercifully goes for the pin.

1…

2…

Connor pulls Emperor off. Now he picks up the bat himself and gives Emperor a shot to the head that sends him down. He raises his arms in triumph.

Phil Brooks: Connor better turn around quick.

Before he can, Phantom drills him in the back of the head with a chair shot.

Josh Harter: Too late.

Connor collapses down into a heap on the mat, but Phantom isn’t interested in a pinfall. Instead, he sets up the chair in the middle of the ring and hits Connor with a brutal german suplexon the chair.

Phil Brooks: Connor could have broken his neck there.

Josh Harter: That doesn’t mean anything. He could retain the title with A BROKEN FREAKIN’ NECK!!!!

Phil Brooks: You really need to try decaf.

Before Phantom can attempt to pin Connor, Hollywood catches off guard with a schoolboy.

1…

2…

Phantom kicks out. Hollywood rolls out onto the floor and sets up a table. A chair shot to Phantom wears him down enough to be placed on the table. He then climbs the top rope and hits the Hollywood Blvd. Elbow Drop through the table.

Seeing the carnage, Connor makes the best of the situation and pulls Phantom in the ring. After placing Phantom on the top rope, Connor hits the Sky Cam.

Josh Harter: SKY CAM!!! It’s over!!!

1…

2…

Emperor breaks it up. Hollywood reenters the ring and Chiropratic Nightmare.

Phil Brooks: We’re going to have a new champion!

Hollywood signals for Connor to pin Phantom, which he does.

1…

2…

3!!!

Josh Harter: …or not.

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner and still Ultimate Champion…CAM CONNOR!!!

Connor and Hollywood raise their arms in victory as we cut away…

Skyler Striker and Xavier Cross v. J.W. McCammon and Snad

Michelle Madison: Standing at 6 feet even, and weighing in at 201lbs… here is……..SNAD!”

"People = Shit" by Slipknot hits the PA system, and out comes Snad from the back. He simply walks down to the ring, no-nonsense, and enters by sliding under the bottom rope. In the ring, Snad stands up, throws his arms to the sides and tilts his head back, taking in the crowd.

Michelle Madison: And his partner, Standing at 6’2 and weighing in at 235lbs, here is The Mercenary, JW McCammon!”

The arena goes black and "Bite The Bullet" by Machine Head starts to play as dark blue strobe lights hit and the crowd starts to buzz. The crowd erupts as JW McCammon walks out onto the stage with his black leather jacket and dark shades on. He pause for a minute on the stage and stares at the crowd and then raises his arms to the air as the crowd pops. McCammon starts heading to the ring, slapping fans’ hands along the way.

JW McCammon walks up the farside steps of the ring then walks across the ring apron and looks at the crowd. JW McCammon raises his arms and then gets into the ring. JW McCammon walks around the ring, takes his sunglasses and jacket off, handing them to the ring attendant. JW McCammon starts getting warmed up as he waits for his opponent.

Suddenly “Through the Fire and Flames” by Dragon Force comes over the P.A. as Skyler and Cross are standing at the top of the ramp holding their arms up.

Michelle Madison: “From Atlanta, Georgia, Weighing In at 230 pounds, and standing at 6’3, and from Perth Australia, standing at 5’10” and weighing in at 220lbs, they are the GWC resistance…. XAVIER CROSS AND SKYLER STRIKER!…”

The two men run down to the ring, sliding in, Xavier stays on his knees as Skyler hops to the turnbuckle, holding his arm up. Xavier raises his arms in an X from his knees and then hops up onto his feet raising his hands to the fans approval.

Cross and Striker look at each other, Cross pats Striker’s chest, letting Striker know, Cross wants to start this off. On the other end, Snad is already on the apron as JW is crouch down stretching out. The ref steps in the middle signaling for the two men to step towards the middle. Striker gives Cross as pat on the back showing his confidence in him. JW and Cross meet in the middle of the ring. The ref checks them both for foreign objects. Before the ref calls for the bell JW holds out his hand, Cross looks around at the fans as he slowly moves his hand in to shake. The two back off a bit as the ref calls for the bell, the match has begun.

The two competitors circle each other slowly, Cross raises his hand in a show for a test of strength. JW acknowledges it with his hand. The two bring both their hands up and their bodies press together to see who is possibly stronger. JW starts to get the upper hand as Cross goes down to one knee. Cross is the brought down to two knees. The ref checks to see if Cross wants to give up, but Xavier declines immediately. Cross jumps up immediately, twisting his body in the air, wrapping his legs around JW’s arms, forcing JW to break his grip on Xavier’s other hand. Thus allowing Cross to get McCammon on the mat in a single arm bar.

Stretching out JW’s arm, JW starts to use the momentum Xavier has put on the one side of his body, to roll over get Xavier in a pin. The ref immediately drops down and beings the count.

1...
2... No a kick out, the two men roll away from each other. Both smiling, having fun while still competing hard. JW holds his hand out for a test of strength once more, but Xavier swiftly grabs JW’s arm and twists it, he twists it once more before laying down a hard chop. Xavier goes for a second, but JW ducks and gets behind him, laying down a vicious german suplex, Xavier is laying on his neck, his legs falling forward. JW gets up to one knee and looks around, as he walks over and tags Snad in.

Phil Brooks: Now we'll see if Xavier can handle Snad.

Josh Harter: Come on, no one can handle Snad.

Snad moves quickly before Xavier can fully rise, planting a knee into the face, sending Xavier backwards onto the mat. Xavier gets on his hands and knees as Snad runs, bouncing off the ropes, jumps on Xavier’s back, then onto the ring ropes, and turns midair, dropping a leg drop onto the back of Xavier’s neck, flipping him onto his back due to impact. Xavier tries to get up, but Snad is on him, laying down hard kicks. Xavier finally catches Snad’s foot and trips him up. Xavier follows up with a sharp shooter, locking it in with an immediate burst of strength. Snad reaches for the ropes, JW, starts to step in but the ref stops him from moving in.

Xavier starts to drag Snad slowly across the mat keeping him away from the ropes, Xavier finally lets go and moves of tagging in Skyler, who jumps over the ropes and goes to work. Laying in stomps to Snad’s legs in an attempt to ground him. Skyler backs off as Snad uses the ropes to crawl up, Skyler runs, but Snad ducks and pulls down the ropes as Skyler goes flying over the ropes. The ref runs over to see if Snad is okay. Xavier jumps off the apron and goes under the ring.

Phil Brooks: That's a nasty spill Skyler just took.

Josh Harter: Xavier better hope Skyler gets back up soon. He certaintly doesn't want this to become a handicap match.

After a few short seconds Xavier slides out a table, and a chair from under the ring. A smirk on his face as he slides back into the ring, going to catch Snad unaware, but JW catches the assault before Xavier can get to Snad, laying down left and rights to Xavier’s face, but Xavier ducks and hit’s a drop kick on JW. JW stumbles back and bumps into the ref, who is at 6 during the count, the ref goes flying out. Skyler stumbles around the ring and see what Xavier has set up, picking up the chair he looks up to see an airborne Snad right over him, using basic instinct, and adrenaline, throwing the chair up, and then doing a completely vertical drop kick nailing the chair into Snad.

Josh Harter: I stand corrected from earlier. A nice shot with a steel chair will certainly put a stop to Snad. But if he hit's the Snad Cutter, then BANG, it'll be all over.

Phil Brooks: You really shouldn't say that.

Josh Harter: What? It sounds cool.

Phil Brooks: Not when you do it.

Josh Harter: You're just jealous of my coolness.

Phil Brooks: Hipster doofus sounds more appropriate to me.

Josh Harter: Leave it to you to make a Seinfeld reference.

Meanwhile in the ring, Xavier and JW are going toe to toe exchanging lefts and rights, Xavier ducks and catches JW with an European upper cut. Xavier notices out of the corner of his eye that Skyler is ascending the turnbuckle. Xavier irish whips JW into the corner and nails a huge power slam. JW is laid out and Skyler goes up for the Sky High Dive. Meanwhile, Snad has set up the table and is slowly getting back into the ring.

Snad sneaks into the ring with the chair, the ref hasn’t quite gotten to his feet, more like laying on his ass. Snad swings the chair, but Xavier ducks at the last second, the chair goes flying and hit’s the ring ropes, falling down. Xavier then hits Snad with a hurricanrada. Laying Snad atop of JW, Skyler hit’s a big Sky High Dive atop the top partners. Snad rolls one way and JW rolls the other, the two are obviously in pain. Xavier helps Skyler up and points to Snad, Skyler acknowledges as Xavier moves to JW. Dragging JW to the side of the ropes where the table is set up, Xavier hit’s a Enziguri, putting JW back on the ground. Cross moves over grabbing the chair Snad had originally brought into the ring. Xavier leans JW’s back against the ropes, and his feet on the set up chair. Xavier moves to the apron and picks JW up in the Crucifix power bomb position, and drops JW back first onto, and through the table. Xavier wastes no time, jumping over the ropes, back into the ring. Xavier runs directly forward and bounces off the ropes. He jumps once onto the chair, again onto the top rope, and his next jump sends him into a 630 degree corkscrew senton to the broken table, and damn near broken JW.

Phil Brooks: I don't even know how to describe what I just saw.

Josh Harter: I do. One word--insanity.

Skyler picks Snad up, irish whipping him into the ropes, Skyler picks Snad up and nails a huge power slam. Holding his hands up his signals for the lockdown. Grabbing both of Snad’s legs, Skyler turns Snad over and locks down the lockdown. Snad arches his back as he screams in pain, after a few short moments Snad is tapping. The ref has now slid in the ring and sees Snad tapping, he calls for the bell.

Phil Brooks: Striker and Cross win!

Xavier is on the outside as he hears the bell ring, but then Michelle Madison announces his and Skyler’s names as the winners. JW leans against the apron as he holds his lower back, looking down Xavier is slowly rising beaten as hell. Once both of them are on their feet they stare at each other for a second, then embrace in a huge. Xavier then lifts JW’s arm up pointing at him. The two slide in the ring, Snad has ran through the audience to who knows where. JW and Xavier help Skyler up, JW takes the TV title and puts it over Skylers shoulder as the three of them hold their arms up.

Uncultured Youth (Reckless Jack and David Alastair) v. Gold Foundation (Lexington Royale and Outcast)

The arena goes dark as the opening to War of Ages' "Strength Within" fills the arena.

"Show me your strength.
This is our time to bleed.
We've suffered for far too long.
I won't give in.
We'll fight. We'll fight.
I've never felt so alone.
Will I ever find my way.
You chose to hide in fear.

Will we find strength within to fight against this world we're in"

Pyro explodes as Reckless Jack appears on one side of the stage and David Alastair appears on the other side, head banging to the song. The two meet in the middle of the stage and bump chests. The crowd is cheering loudly. David Alastair and Reckless Jack make their way down to the ring, slapping the hands of the fans along the way as they sing along with "Strength Within." As they get to the ringside area, David Alastair gets on his knees and throws his arms out as Reckless Jack makes the "X" with his arms over his chest. Red pyro shoots along the rampway as David Alastair gets back to his feet. Both men hop up onto the ring apOutcast as David Alastair enters the ring and heads the turnbuckle closest to him and throws his arms out again as Reckless Jack acknowledges the fan's love for him. As Reckless Jack enters the ring, David Alastair hops off the turnbuckle and heads to the one opposite from him and throws his arms out again as Reckless Jack gets on one knee as a spotlight falls down upon him. Reckless Jack pounds the mat and then makes the "X" sign again as David Alastair crouches down. Reckless Jack stands back up and grins arrogantly, and stands next to David Alastair, both men ready to rumble.

Phil Brooks: Reckless Jack looks like someone I know.

Josh Harter: Same with David Alastair.

"The Ecstasy of Gold" by Metallica begins to play over the loudspeakers as the team of Lexington "The Poet" Royale & Outcast emerge from behind the curtains with Reginald "The Magician" Churchill following close behind. They pause on the ramp as golden pyro explodes from behind them on the stage, lighting the entire arena. They continue to the ring as Sir Reginald circles around to take his place in their corner. Outcast slides into the ring as Lexington enters via the ring steps. They both ascend opposite turnbuckles to gesture to the crowd as the music plays on. Finally, golden sparks rain down from the rafters as the audience cheers on...the Gold Foundation.

Josh Harter: These two guys, I tell, they own. Pretty hard too.

Phil Brooks: On what grounds? They're both huge assholes but so are you.

Josh Harter: Yep, you got that right Brooks.

The fans cheer loudly knowing they are going to see a great match about to happen. Royale then tells Outcast he is going to start the match. Alastair and Jack talk over who is going to start off for them, Alastair then finally convinces Jack he is going to start. The ref signals for then bell and the match is on. Alastair, and Royale circle around the ring looking at each other in the eyes. Alastair skids across the ring on one knee going for a single leg take down but Royale gets out of the way. Royale gets behind Alastair, and he quickly grabs him. Royale then goes for a German suplex. He throws Alastair back, but Alastair flips back and lands on his feet. The fan cheer when he lands. Alastair charges at Royale, and he goes for a clothsline to the back of the head of Royale. Before he can hit it Outcast tells Royale to look out. Royale ducks it, and he kicks Alastair in the back. Alastair falls back into the Gold Foundation turnbuckle. Royale starts hammering down on Alastair as he then gives a tag to Outcast. After he tags Outcast, Royale puts Alastair in a arm bar. Outcast climbs the top rope, and he drops a ax handle down on the exposed arm of Alastair.

Phil Brooks:You can defiantly see so far that Gold Foundation is taking the advantage.

Josh Harter: You are true there Brooks. The question is how long will it last.

Outcast then whips Alastair into the ropes. Alastair goes to reply with a clothsline but Outcast ducks it. Alastair comes back around, and he gets a kick to the stomach. Outcast sticks Alastair’s head between his legs. Outcast tells the fans he is going to end the match early. Outcast then crosses the arms of Alastair as you can see he is going for the Race Hate. Outcast goes to pull him up, but no Alastair keeps dropping to one knee so Outcast can’t lift him. Alastair stands up and falls back. Outcast gets crushed under Alastair as his arms are still cross. The ref slides in as Alastair holds for a pin like that.

One!

Two!!

Kick out by Outcast. Royale was about to enter but he doesn’t as he sees Outcast kicks out. Alastair gets up, and he starts kicking at Outcast as Outcast gets to his feet. Alastair then whips Outcast into a turnbuckle. Alastair then runs toward Outcast and drives his shoulder right into the stomach of Outcast. Outcast yells out in pain of the shoulder.

Phil Brooks: What did I say Josh. I told you that Gold Foundation momentum could leave them soon.

Josh Harter: Oh shut up Brooks. They will get it back they always do.

After Alastair gets the shoulder thrust into Outcast’s stomach he carries him over to his corner. He then tags in Reckless Jack who starts punching Outcast. Outcast takes shot after shot trying to fight them. He can’t fight them off. Royale then gets the attention of the ref. When he does as a desperation move Outcast drops to his knees, and goes for a low blow but Jack backs away quick enough before he can hit it. Jack the delivers a kick to the face of Outcast. Jack then picks up Outcast and throw his arms around him. After he does, he then give a belly to belly suplex to Outcast. Outcast rolls around holding his back as he thrives in pain. Royale then comes in the ring to go help Outcast. As he does so does Alastair. Alastair goes to clothesline Royale who runs at Jack. Royale sees it and ducks. Royale then bounces off the ropes and gives a diving shoulder block to Alastair. The two of them roll out of the ring. They each share so lefts, and rights. Jack walks over, and he goes to look over at Alastair, and Royale. As he walks over to help Alastair, all of a sudden Outcast hits a low blow when the ref isn’t looking. Jack falls to his knees in pain. Outcast then runs towards the ropes, he bounces off and delievers a kick to the back of the head of Reckless Jack.

Phil Brooks: This is what I’m talking about the dirty moves of Gold Foundation.

Josh Harter: Well duh! They don’t call them Gold Foundation for nothing. God you’re an idiot.

Royale then goes to whip Alastair into the guardrail outside but Alastair reverses it. Royale’s back slams right into the guardrail. Alastair takes his boot and shoves it in the neck of Royale as he sit on the floor leaning against the guardrail. Then sliding out side of the ring is Outcast. He hits the back of Alastair who stumbles off of Royale. Outcast starts punching at Alastair, then Royale joins in the beating. The three brawl outside of the ring as Jack gets up slowly. Jack looks at the three of them, and then the fans. He runs bounces off the ropes, he then run and bounces himself off the top rope into a shooting star press on top of the other three wrestlers.

Phil Brooks: Wow, that wasn't very smart from a guy coming back from a concussion and neck injury... and his son just died.

Josh Harter: His only two talents are getting hurt and bleeding.

Now Murder Inc. starts to walk down to the ring as all four men are getting back up to their feet. The Gold Foundation start talking trash to their foes at the upcoming Pay Per View while David listens in. Murder Inc keep talking back as the war of words is increasing. Jack and Alastair go back into the ring and wait for the Gold Foundation to come back in. The two teams brawl until Gold Foundation get the advantage when Outcast hits a clothesline on David Alastair. Lexington hits the Pen Is Mighter as Jack goes into the arms of Outcast, perched on the top as he hits the Black Out. Outcast makes the cover.

One!

Two!!

Lexington keeps David at bay...

Three!!!

Michelle Madison: Here are your winners...THE GOLD FOUNDATION!

The bell rings as the two teams are tired after a hard fought match. Murder Inc. slide into the ring as the Gold Foundation slides out. Reckless Jack calls for a microphone as the crowd cheers.

Reckless Jack: You know, after last night, today, it's been a fucking rollarcoster for me. But I would like to introduce you fans to the newest members of Uncultured Youth, Murder Inc.

The crowd cheers now as Reckless Jack rolls out of the ring and heads to the back with David Alastair and Murder Inc. talk amongst themselves as we follow Reckless Jack backstage. He stops as he lockerroom and quickly grabs his bag before Tim Ryan comes over and stops him.

Tim Ryan: Reckless Jack, why did Murder Inc join Uncultured Youth?

Reckless Jack shoots Tim a look before leaving.

Tapout Title Match
Special Guest Referee: Triple X
Thunder (c) v. Kevin Hardaway

Triple X raises the Tapout title high in the air as both Kevin and Thunder circle around the ring. Triple X calls for the bell and this match is underway. Both Kevin and Thunder keep circling around the ring until they both tie up. Kevin puts a back hammerlock on Thunder, as Hardaway tries to sit him down for a better lock on the move, but Thunder turns around and puts an armbar on Kevin as he circles around the ring, gripping on the hand of Kevin as he screams somewhat. Kevin though grabs on the ropes and flips using the rope for balance as he turns the hold and grabs the arm of Thunder, all while Triple X keeps watching on. Kevin wrenches on the arm and twists it around into another hammerlock, this time getting him down on the mat as he holds him in a dragon sleeper like hold with the hammerlock as Thunder yells out. Triple X asks if he taps, but Thunder immediately screams "NO!" as he gets up and pushes Hardaway to the ropes. He bounces off and Thunder connects with a spinebuster as Thunder grabs the leg and starts hooking Hardaway in a texas cloverleaf, but Hardaway gets to the ropes breaking the hold as TX calls the 5 count. Thunder lets go as Hardaway gets up, both of them staring each other down in a standoff now to the cheer of the fans.

Phil Brooks: Neither man let up an inch there.

Josh Harter: This is going to a hard fought match, that's for sure.

Hardaway and Thunder now start trading shots now, lefts and rights to each other now. What started at first as a techinical showcase has now turned into a brawl. Thunder tackles Hardaway to the corner and starts letting loose on Kevin, with kicks and punches to the midsection and to the head of Kevin as he's on fire as we speak. Triple X tries to jump right in the middle to break it up, but Kevin has none of that as he grabs Thunder and throws him with a shoulder tackle to the other turnbuckle and starts doing the same to him with punches and kicks to the gut and head, and then, locks a leg lock using the ropes for leverage. Triple X comes though and does a 5 count. Hardaway stops at 4 though and yells to him "Hey, I have till 5...know that". Triple X though gets in Hardaway's face a little bit, but Kevin goes back to work on Thunder, getting up to the top rope as he grabs Thunder's arm. Kevin jumps going for what seems like an impressive jumping armbar, but Thunder picks him up and throws Kevin over the top rope and onto the floor. Thing is though, Kevin kept hold tightly of the arm, so Thunder joins Hardaway on the outside.

Josh Harter: Hardaway won't become champion if he stays outside the ring.

Phil Brooks: I'm pretty sure he knows that. but thanks for letting us know, genius color commentator.

Josh Harter: Don't call me stupid.

Phil Brooks: I said no such thing.

Josh Harter: I won't be disrespected like that. I'm not talking to you anymore!

Both men are down on the outside as Triple X just watches them. There must be a winner by submission in this match, so I guess TX is throwing the book out for this one. Thunder gets up first and picks up Hardaway and starts bouncing his head off certain things...the ring apron, BAM! The announce table. BAM! The ring post. Maybe not. Thunder though drops Hardaway and grabs his legs attempting to slingshot Hardaway into the post. He does so, but there's no clang noise heard. Hardaway has stopped in time before he could collide with it. Thunder immediately gets up and grabs Kevin's head, trying to collide it with the ring pole, but it's no use. Suddenly a light bulb goes off in his head. He goes to the other side, grabbing Kevin's arms in the process. He tries to throw his head into the post, but Hardaway puts a leg up, trying to block it. He ends up grabbing the arms of Thunder now as well. All of a sudden, Thunder sees this and throws Kevin's head into the post, making what could possibly be the sickest sound we have ever heard. Kevin though, a grip on Thunder's arms, does the same as the same sick sound is heard. Thunder though, throws Kevin right back into the post. All of a sudden, they both go mad on each other and both pull each other to the post, clanging over and over again until both men are down and out on the floor, both busted open to the roar of the crowd.

Josh Harter: This match has turned brutal, huh Phil?

Phil Brooks: I thought you weren't talking to me anymore.

Josh Harter: Dammit!

Triple X can't bother to look as both men are pouring out blood like they were wash faucets. Somehow though, Thunder is the first to his feet as he wobbles around, dazed from the blood loss as he picks up a basically unconscious Hardaway, throwing him back into the ring. Thunder gets in the ring and locks in another texas cloverleaf right in the middle of the ring. Triple X goes to check on Hardaway as he's not moving. TX picks up the arm of Hardaway and drops it. It hits the mat....NO! Hardaway keeps his arm up as he tries to crawl towards the ropes. He's about to make it and somehow he does, completely covering the ropes as Triple X does the 5 count. Thunder releases the hold and taunts to the crowd, signaling for the Million Dollar Dream. He picks up Hardaway and turns him around, who wobbles around dazed. He gets his hands in there, but Hardaway counters, dropping him to the mat. HARDAWAY LOCKS IN THE KILLSWITCH...otherwise known as the STFU. Thunder tries to crawl around but Hardaway screams and wrenches back more, both men bloodied to death. Thunder is almost to the ropes though as he tries frantically to get to the ropes...and he does. Triple X starts the five count, but Hardaway breaks out of the hold as both men are down on the mat again, blood staining the mat.

A 10 count isn't made, but both men are down for what seems like 20, as Hardaway slowly gets up, dizzy from the blood loss, walks slowly over to Thunder and does a taunt of his own, picking him up and turning him over. He's going for the Asylum Driver. Sure it won't work, but it helps. He hooks the legs, but somehow Thunder rolls back and now has Hardaway in the position. He puts him on his shoulders and nails Thunder and Lightning as he drops Hardaway right on his head. Thunder goes over. HE LOCKS IN THE MILLION DOLLAR DREAM! He has Hardaway out and down now on the mat as he wrenches the hold and looks at Hardaway. Triple X goes over to check out on Hardaway. He goes to lift the arm of Hardaway.

It drops...Triple X calls for the bell. The match is over.

Phil Brooks: Thunder retains the Tapout Title after a hard fought battle.

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner and still GWC Tapout Champion...THUNDER!

Triple X goes and grabs the Tapout Championship belt and slides back in the ring, picking up Thunder and raising his hand in victory with the belt. But wait, what's this. Triple X blindsides him and goes for the Triple X Rated. He has Thunder's arms hooked...but miraciously, Thunder counters and nails Thunder and Lightning on Triple X laying him down on the mat along with Hardaway as Thunder somehow slides out of the ring, holding the Tapout title in hand as he wobbles to the back, dazed from all of the blood loss.

Josh Harter: And as an added bonus, he took out Triple X as well.

Yukio Blaze segment

The lights goes out in the arena. The beginning note of "Miseria Cantare" plays over the speakers. Smoke starts to fill the entrance way. The house lights start to flicker with the music beat. The drum beat starts to play and Yukio Blaze comes out from the titan tron to a standing ovation while the crowd sings along. Yukio drops down to his knee's then looks around the arena at the fans. He gets off the ground and takes his time to get in the ring and admires the crowd in the process. Gets in the ring and walks over the a turnbuckle and climbs to the middle buckle and throws up the V-1 Sign with his right hand and takes his left hand and grips his right wrist to make devil horns. He then jumps down, and grabs a microphone.

Yukio Blaze: Ladies and gentleman, today I come out here with a heavy heart. Due to problems outside of my control, I come out here today to let you know that Your Random Hero, is retiring from the Global Wrestling Coalition, effective today.

The crowd chatter builds as they suddenly begin a chant.

Crowd: Please don't go! Please don't go! Please don't go!

Yukio begins to well up, as tears are forming in his eyes.

Yukio Blaze: My time here has been incredible, and I wish this wonderful company all the luck in the world. But this is just out of my...

"Gonna Fly Now" hits the speakers as Danny Vice walks out with a microphone in one hand, and a clipboard in the other.

Danny Vice: Yukio. Yukio. Look, hold on. I have right here a signed contract by one "Yukio Blaze" for three years of work in the Global Wrestling Coalition. And you...you've been here all of three months. What kind of precedent would I set if I were to let you walk out with no repercussions?

Yukio Blaze: Danny, you and I have gone back a longtime. We're friends, we've been through a lot together. Please, I need to go. I have to go.

Crowd: Please don't go! Please don't go! Please don't go!

Danny Vice: Yukio, they don't want you to leave. No one does. Not even me. You're an incredible performer, and I love watching your matches. And you're right. We do go back a longtime and we are friends. I respect you as much as anyone in this business. But in all of our time together, there's something that has been missing. One great match, with you and I, one on one.

The crowd cheers.

Danny Vice: So if you will face me, in one final match, at Tribulation, I will gladly let you out of your contract.

Yukio Blaze: Danny...I'd love to.

The crowd erupts as "Miseria Cantare" hits the speakers. Danny and Yukio smile then head to the back.

[Danny Vice]

#1 Contender for Television Title
Talan Trenor v. Pillage v. Brian Wolf v. Joe Ragnal

Phil Brooks: Well, that’s interesting. How come Pillage is in the ring already?

Josh Harter: He didn’t have any theme music.

Phil Brooks: Whoa!

Michelle Madison: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is to determine the number one contender for the GWC Television Championship! Introducing first…PILLAGE!

*Pillage raises his arms high to a decent throng of cheers.*

Michelle Madison: And his opponent…from Sydney, Australia, weighing in at 239 pounds…the Cancer, Talan TRENOOOR!

My Last Serenade, by Killswitch Engage picks up over the speaker system, as the lights slowly dim to a low lighting. A thick smoke effect floods from the backstage area, as it slowly fills the clean air. As the smoke settles, Talan Trenor stands at the top of the entrance ramp. Trenor stands with his back faced towards the ring. The fans begin loud chains of boos, as Trenor slowly turns and faces the ring. He raises his arms in the air, as a series of loud pyro shots go off from the top of the entrance ramp. Talan begins his descend to the ring, as he dodges the debris of the angered fans. At the bottom of the ramp Trenor slides into the ring, as he waits an extra second before returning to his feet.

Josh Harter: Talan Trenor is EPW’s last hope of regaining a title right now. If he wins this match, he’ll be able to win back the title that Zak Warner lost.

Michelle Madison: And the opponent…from Scranton, PA, weighing in at 220 lbs…he is the Innovator of FUN, Joe RAGNAAAAL!

"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 runs down to the ring, sliding in head first. He handsprings up, and raises his arms high as the crowd applauds him on.

Phil Brooks: This is Ragnal’s third contendership match. If he’s able to win, he’ll get his third shot at the Television Championship.

Josh Harter: Too bad we may never get to see Zak Warner vs. Joe Ragnal, though. I was looking forward to that at Vindication.

Michelle Madison: And the opponent…from Bournemouth, England, weighing in at 215 lbs…”The Irresistable Force”, Brian WOLF!

The lights go out, with Lone standing on the entrance ramp with his brother Billy at his side. As the first few parts of 'Wait and Bleed' by Slipknot play over the pa system.

I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

Goodbye!

On the word goodbye, Lone paces down the ramp with Billy greeting the fans giving them flowers as Lone fixates on the ring, changing into a full run as he slides under the bottom rope, with Billy still pre-occupied.

I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I CAN'T CONTROL MY SHAKES!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong...
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

Then pyros blow from two of the corners whilst Lone stands in the middle of the ring as he removes his hood, with Billy on the outside as Lone is waiting for his opponent to arrive.

Phil Brooks: Now, I don’t like the guy’s name. It seriously sounds like something he picked from the Smackdown vs. Raw games!

Josh Harter: It does sound a little dated, I’ll admit.

*The bell rings, and the four men look on at one another, waiting for someone to throw the first punch. Pillage charges at Ragnal, but Joe ducks and hits a drop toe-hold, causing Pillage to hit the middle rope. Talan and Wolf turn to one another, and nod as if to say “That’s our target”. They both rush at Joe and take him down with a double clothesline.*

Phil Brooks: Now there’s two men that can work as a cohesive unit.

Josh Harter: Sure, you say that now. But just wait until the pinfalls start coming in, and everyone pulls everyone off.

Phil Brooks: Only to stand there while the other guy gets the win when they CAN be getting the fall?

Josh Harter: *pffft* Please, this isn’t WCF.

*Talan and Wolf pick Joe up and look for a double suplex, but as the pick him up, Joe wiggles his legs back, and falls back in front. Joe kicks Talan in the gut, causing him to break his hold, and then DDTs Brian to the canvas. Joe attempts a pin.*

Josh Harter: Not bad for 2-on-1.

Phil Brooks: Let’s just remember, Pillage is in this match, too. Just…seemingly knocked out.

1!

*Talan double stomps Joe in the back, and Joe rolls off Brian. Talan kicks Joe repeatedly, then picks him up and hits a fisherman’s suplex. Drake gets to his feet, only to be hit with a boot to the face by Pillage. Pillage picks Talan up and whips him into a corner, and charges, only for Talan to leap out and spear him in mid-run!*

Phil Brooks: Whoa! That was out of nowhere!

Josh Harter: Pillage might have lost some cartilage after that one!

*Talan gets up to his feet and runs to the ropes, only for Joe Ragnal to hit a drop toe-hold as he bounces back, and lands face first…into Pillage’s groin.*

Josh Harter: Oh, MAN! Pillage can’t be too happy about that right now!

Phil Brooks: Neither can Talan. He can’t feel too happy about a face full of-

Josh Harter: Hey, what’s Joe doing now?

*Joe runs to the ropes and leaps off the middle, hitting a Lionsault atop both Pillage and Talan’s head.*

Phil Brooks: And things just went from bad to worse for both men.

*Joe kicks Talan off and hooks Pillage’s leg for the pin.*

1!

2!

*Wolf grabs Joe’s leg and pulls him off of Pillage, and begins twisting an ankle lock onto the Innovator of FUN.*

Josh Harter: Just as it looked like Ragnal would get the win, Wolf takes Joe and puts him in one of the worst submission moves to be in!

*After a few seconds, Joe crawls for the ropes, but Brian does his best to keep Joe from moving too close to the ropes. As Wolf drags Joe furthest away from the ropes, Talan locks his arms around Brian’s waist and connects with a German Suplex, the surprise causing Wolf to let go of Joe’s leg!*

Josh Harter: Talan may just have saved Joe from losing this match.

Phil Brooks: For now.

*Talan grabs Joe and picks him up by the throat, and tosses him into the nearest corner. He then forces his throat against the top turnbuckle, and the ref counts to four before Talan lets go. Unfortunately…Joe doesn’t seem to realize he let go.*

Phil Brooks: What the…? Joe’s still acting like he’s choked!

Josh Harter: Boy, that can’t be good if he’s still breathing air.

*Talan just looks on, confused, and then looks at the ref. The ref shrugs, and as Talan goes to grab Joe, Ragnal shoves Talan back, and hits a running drop kick to Trenor. Joe then points and laughs, then yells, “Made ya look!” Joe then turns around, only to be kicked in the gut by Pillage. Pillage then picks Joe up for a vertical suplex, but Joe slides behind and lands on his feet. He taps Pillage on the shoulder, and Pillage turns around, to see a smile Joe wave before he hits an gamengiri on Pillage!*

Phil Brooks: Well, that’s a way to distract your opponent.

Josh Harter: Well, what can you say? Joe IS living up to his nickname, and having FUN with the match!

Phil Brooks: Boy, did that fad die down. Trying to bring it back by replacing fun with FUN?

*With Pillage down, the Innovator gets to his feet and sees Brian Wolf charge towards him. Unfortunately, Joe isn’t quick enough to react, and is hit with a running STO! Wolf then goes for a pin.*

Phil Brooks: What a way for Wolf to take out the Innovator of FUN!

1!

2!

*Talan Trenor locks his arms around Wolf and picks him up off of Trenor, and tries for a German Suplex to Brian. He elbows Trenor several times, but Trenor counters by punching him in the side. Trenor then hits his German Suplex…only for Wolf to hit the referee out of the ring!*

Josh Harter: Well, that’s not good!

Phil Brooks: Naw, ya think? They lost the guy that allows them to end the match!

*Talan looks outside with a big surprised look that can only read “Oh, SHIT!” and quickly slides out, checking on whether or not the ref is still conscious. Suddenly, Hardaway comes down the ramp and grabs Talan, hitting him repeatedly in the face.*

Phil Brooks: Whoa, where’d Hardaway come from?!

Josh Harter: Who knows?

*Pillage, meanwhile, gets to his feet while Hardaway and Talan start brawling up the ramp. Suddenly, Darkness comes running through the crowd, and over the barricade. He slides into the ring and throws lefts and rights into Pillage’s body, then whips him into the ropes so hard he falls outside. Darkness gets out of the ring and over to Pillage, who throws fists into Darkness’s face. The two begin to trade punches, only for Pillage to whip Darkness into the barricade. The two men soon begin to brawl into the audience, and out of camera’s view.*

*Meanwhile, Joe Ragnal is in the ring, looking down at Brian Wolf, who’s getting to his knees. Just shrugging the fights that occurred, Joe runs to the ropes, and charges back to Brian with a headscissor, then grabs his arm and forces an armbar submission while his legs are still wrapped around Wolf’s neck.*

Josh Harter: There’s the FUN Lock! Joe Ragnal has Brian Wolf in the FUN Lock!

*Wolf tries to get to the ropes, but he soon falls onto his knees. The ref on the outside, meanwhile, gets to his feet and slides into the ring as Wolf falls belly first onto the canvas. In a matter of minutes…He taps! The ref signals for the bell!*

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner…and the #1 contender for the Television Championship…JOE! RAGNAAAAAAAAL!

*Joe gets to his feet as the ref raises his arm high, and Joe goes to the ropes, asking for Michelle’s mic. She hands it to him, and Joe looks around as the audience cheers him on.*

Joe: Well, thank you so much, folks! But right now, regarding this match…Sky, I gots a proposition for ya. See…the last time you and I fought in a well-rounded, classic match that saw me become yet another victim to the Lockdown submission. As much as I’d like to be the first to break the hold, that might not happen anytime soon…in a regular match, that is.

*The crowd looks on, slightly confused by this.*

Joe: See, I know that some people have been looking forward to a match coming back to GWC that hasn’t been in use for a while. But now…Now, I’m offering the opportunity to make our next match, which WILL be for the TV title rather than to decide who WILL be fighting for it…we’re gonna make this next match… FUN!

*The crowd erupts, some of them chanting “FUN! FUN!” as they hear this announcement.*

Joe: That’s right. Skyler, in one week, I’m expecting an answer from you…because I hope that the next time we meet…it’s gonna be for the Telly Belt, and it’s gonna take place…IN THE FUN HOUSE!

*Joe raises his arms high as the crowd cheers on, while “Violence Fetish” plays on the PA System.*

Josh Harter: Did you hear that, Phil?! A FUN House match for the Television Championship!

Phil Brooks: I heard, Josh. But the question is, will Skyler accept? And if he does, can he retain, or will Joe end his title reign a little early?

T-Money segment

The scene cuts to the backstage area of the Hong Kong Stadium. T-Money is seen in a corridor pouring himself something to drink while holding a magazine in his left hand. Danny Vice quickly emerges from behind T-Money.

Danny Vice: Sup T, how are you?

T-Money: What do you want?! I’m in the middle of something.

Danny Vice: Hey man calm down, I don’t want any trouble. I was just seeing if you were ready for your match tonight, that’s all….

T-Money: Yea, I’m good.

T-Money goes back to reading the magazine. Danny gently places his hand on T-Money’s shoulder.

Danny Vice: Look man, can’t we just let all of this go? You are one of my top guys around here and I hate to see you mad at me.

T-Money brushes Danny’s hand off of his shoulder.

T-Money: First of all, don’t you ever put your hands on me and second of all, you need to stay the hell away from me because you are a liar and you are a phony. I appreciate you trying to make amends with me and all, but cut all the garbage. You owe me….hell, if it wasn’t for what I did at Viva La GWC, you’d be collecting unemployment checks right now.

Danny Vice: Watch it Terrence….

T-Money: No Danny, you watch it! Oh, and if anything goes wrong in my match tonight and I’m cheated out of my title, forget Ryder or Stargazer, I’m coming straight after you….goodnight boss…..

T-Money angrily walks off in the opposite direction.

World Title Steel Cage Match
Special Enforcer: Stargazer
T-Money (c) v. Ryder

The steel cage begins lowering around the ring and stops with enough room for the participants to enter it.

Michelle Madison: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a Steel Cage match, which means the only way to win is to escape the cage, and it is for the GWC World Championship! Introducing first, the special enforcer for the match, representing EPW and the current Money in the Bank holder, weighing 249 and from The Celestial Kingdom, STARGAZER!

The entire arena is filled with this angelic humming, it eases everyone as soon as it hits the loud speaker. A soft pinging sound echoes through the rafters.

A Gregorian choir starts chanting, in preparation for a champion.

Heavy metal mixed with a orchestra starts wailing.

It's empowering.

On the fields you restore your beliefs,
Like an old man in church on a Sunday.
Crawl the dirt on your elbows and knees,
Any minute you know you could die.

The crowd starts to go berserk for the lyrics, Stargazer comes out of the back, and any cheers from the EPW supporters are drowned by the GWC boos.

So come save us, turn water to wine,
Give me words of unfathomable wisdom.
As I'm crossing the enemy's line,
Where the wounded and dead show the way.

Stargazer rolls into the ring, the crowd now singing the chorus of the song, Stargazer leaps on a turnbuckle and starts to chant with his EPW fans.

Tell me when the night is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish beneath the mourning star.

He marches about in the ring, waving his arms to have the people chant even louder for the next part of the song.

Now the arena is lit up with Gold and purple lights, flickering, strobing, illuminating the entire arena, only lights that can be seen are the ones strobing.

When the victory is won,
The old cliché,
Underneath the same old mourning star.

Stargazer surveys the cage and steps outside as he waits for the participants.

Michelle Madison: Introducing first, the challenger, from the Path to Hell, weighing 245 pounds, he is RYDER!

Smoke fills the ringside area and "Kingdom Come" by Godflesh begins to play as we see a shadowy figure emerge from the curtain. Dressed in a chainmail sleeveless shirt, black jeans, and a pair of black boots, this man makes his way to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope, stands, and sticks both fists straight out to his sides as he tilts his head back and looks to the rafters. His long blonde hair falls back from his face to reveal deep blue eyes and a face that is tormented. He then goes to the corner of the ring and sits against the bottom turnbuckle as the music fades and the lights turn back on. This is Ryder.

Michelle Madison: And finally, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 183, he is a two-time GWC World Champion, T-MONEY!!!

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. "We Fly High" by Jim Jones begins to boom through the PA while smoke fills the entryway. T-Money appears as a silhouette in the midst of it. From the stage, six shots of pyro are shot out above the crowd. T-Money steps through the smoke to a vast amount of boos and heads down the ramp with the World Title draped over his right shoulder. Bare chested and clad in baggy jeans and Timberland boots, he slowly strolls to the ring. T-Money climbs the ring steps and stops for a moment to pose for the crowd. T-Money turns back to the ring, climbs through the ropes, and poses once again, this time raising his belt in the air. His theme music fades out as he hands the title to a nearby GWC official.

The cage lowers and Stargazer stays outside the ring as the cage hits the ring, sealing T and Ryder in.

Phil Brooks: Two very skilled competitors here, both of them aiming to come out with the GWC World Championship, and all they have to do is escape the cage.

Josh Harter: Stargazer will be the factor here, I think, he’s got the power to open the cage door or throw someone back in if he needs to before they can hit the floor.

The bell rings and immediately Ryder and T-Money are throwing rights and left as if there’s no tomorrow! Ryder grabs T-Money and whips him straight into the cage wall!

Phil Brooks: Even though they’re both GWC, Ryder and T-Money are both wanting that World Title!

T-Money rebounds back and Ryder grabs him by the stomach before nailing a very quick and painful looking belly to belly suplex! T-Money hits the ground hard and Ryder runs for the cage wall, climbing it, but Stargazer on the outside has a chair and swings it hard at Ryder’s fingers, causing him to let go!

Phil Brooks: Hey, what was that for?

Josh Harter: Stargazer’s weakening them! He wants them both as tired as possible before the match at Tribulation!

The crowd boos as Ryder glares menacingly at Stargazer before turning back to T-Money, who has recovered and drops Ryder with a Russian legsweep! T-Money goes for the cage wall but once again Stargazer is there, waiting with the chair and he slams it against T-Money’s fingers, forcing T-Money to release his grip on the cage. T-Money stares at Stargazer violently before turning back to Ryder and picking him up, delivering a hard right hand before ducking a clothesline and hitting a German suplex. With Ryder down, T-Money goes for the opposite cage wall to Stargazer and climbs up, reaching the top already, but Stargazer rushes around and with T-Money balancing on the top, Stargazer THROWS his steel chair at T-Money and it connects with his forehead, busting him open and causing T-Money TO FALL FIFTEEN FEET DOWN TO THE MAT BELOW! T-Money impacts with the mat with a sickening crash and the chair follows him in!

Phil Brooks: Oh My God!

Josh Harter: Hard fall, but good shot from Stargazer!

Stargazer grins before looking under the ring and bringing out from under it a trash can and lid, along with a sledgehammer, which he throws over the cage wall into the ring! Ryder is getting up at this time as well and just manages to dodge the flying trashcan, but he picks it up regardless and stands it up straight in the middle of the ring. Stargazer grins on the outside, enjoying the carnage, and Ryder lifts T-Money, who looks like he may be out cold. Ryder brings him over to the corner turnbuckle and lifts him up to sit on it before following him up himself, and standing on the top rope, Ryder goes for a suplex but T-Money counters and instead grabs Ryder by the head and throws him back against the corner steel post! T-Money grabs Ryder and lifts him in a back suplex AND THROWS RYDER WITH THE SUPERPLEX INTO THE UPRIGHT TRASHCAN!!!!

Phil Brooks: OH MY GOD!!!!!

Josh Harter: PAINFUL!

T-Money struggles on the ground for a few seconds while Ryder lies on the mat in pain, his back almost broken in half. The two attempt to get up and T-Money is the first to make it to his feet, and he grabs the trashcan and lies it flat before lifting Ryder to his feet. Ryder looks dazed and T-Money goes to lift him, but Ryder counters, kicks T-Money in the gut and IMPLAER DDT’S T-MONEY ONTO THE TRASHCAN! Ryder looks around, only to see Stargazer with a chair in hand outside the cage. He swears and looks around to try and find a way to escape the cage, and sees the cage door. He scrambles for it but the referee is pushed away by Stargazer and Ryder looks down at the bleeding T-Money, who is starting to stir.

Phil Brooks: Stargazer is damn serious here, folks! He wants to injure both of these men badly so he might be able to cash in his money in the bank shot here and now!

Josh Harter: That’s nasty stuff, Phil, but he’s using his position as special enforcer to his advantage!

Stargazer grins as Ryder looks around in vain, but Ryder’s search ends as his eyes come to rest on the sledgehammer. Ryder picks it up and moves near the door, raising the hammer as Stargazer’s eyes widen in shock and bringing it down on the chain holding the door open, breaking it! Stargazer stands there, chair in hand and ready to fight Ryder back, and Ryder kicks the door open, but as Stargazer swings the chair he hits the top rope from the floor below as Ryder jumps over the ropes and kicks Stargazer’s chair into his own face!

Phil Brooks: Ryder’s out! He’s won it! New World Champion!

Josh Harter: But he’s closing the cage door… why? What did he do that for?

Ryder has indeed closed the cage door and turns back to the now risen T-Money. Ryder tells him to bring it on and the two lock up in the center of the ring, tired and bleeding.

Phil Brooks: Ryder seems to want to do the noble thing and give the match a chance without Stargazer!

Josh Harter: Can we get a replay of what happened with the shot to Stargazer?

The clip shows Ryder’s kick to Stargazer’s chair, which forces him backwards, but while Ryder closes the door, Stargazer stumbles backwards and falls, hitting the back of his head on the corner of the crowd barricade and he falls limp to the ground, unconscious.

Phil Brooks: Stargazer won’t be causing any more trouble here! He’s out cold!

Josh Harter: Well, he also won’t be cashing in his money in the bank shot… either T-Money or Ryder will walk out with the World Title.

Ryder and T-Money grab for position but T-Money counters and rolls behind Ryder, and takes him down with a German suplex. Ryder rolls up against the cage wall and T-Money throws a boot his way, grinding his skull against the cage. T grabs Ryder and lifts him up, whipping him into the ropes and delivering a sharp toe kick on his return, to nail a hard facebuster to Ryder. T goes for the cage wall with Ryder down and climbs it slowly, putting one foot over the other and he makes it to the top! He drags himself to sit on the top bar and gets to the corner, ready to drop down, but RYDER IS UP AND CLIMBING!

Phil Brooks: Ryder in a precarious position!

Ryder makes it to the top and has the door’s chain wrapped around his hand, and he smashes it against T-Money’s forehead! T-Money sits on the corner, facing outward, but Ryder grabs him before he can fall and hoists T-Money back onto his own shoulders… AND FROM FIFTEEN FEET UP RYDER NAILS A PICTURE PERFECT MUSCLE BUSTER ON T-MONEY TO THE MAT BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil Brooks/Josh Harter: OH MY F**KING GOD!

BOTH MEN LIE DEAD ON THE MAT!! NEITHER MOVES AN INCH!!!

Phil Brooks: Oh my God… that was an amazing move but this match has to end. Soon.

Ryder rolls over slowly and lays a hand over T-Money’s chest but the match cannot end by pinning and so nothing happens.

Josh Harter: This match can’t end by pinfall! It has to be an escape from the cage!

Ryder sees T-Money and moves slowly, incredibly slowly, towards the cage door. T-Money looks to be unconscious or dead. Ryder pushes the door open again and slides under the bottom rope, and reaches for the floor, but T-Money has his leg! Ryder tries to kick it away but T-Money pulls him back and lifts him up, AND NAILS THE MONEY MAKER!!

Phil Brooks: It’s over! It’s gotta be over! This ridiculous!

T-Money crawls to the door and the ref pulls it open, and T-Money slides out and hits the floor!

Michelle Madison: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match and STILL GWC World Champion – T-MONEY!

“We Fly High” hits the speakers as T-Money is helped to his feet by two referees, and the cage raises. T-Money is helped into the ring and given his World Title. Ryder rolls out of the ring and lies on the apron floor T-Money clutches the title in his arms. He raises it over his head, but is drilled in the back of the head by STARGAZER! Stargazer hands his Money-In-The-Bank briefcase to the referee and instructs him to ring the bell.

MITB Cash-In
T-Money (c) v. Stargazer

Phil Brooks: No! He is better than this. Face T-Money like man, not after a match like that!

Josh Harter: This is how you win World Titles Philip. Do whatever is necessary.

The bell rings as Stargazer waits for T-Money to climb to his feet. T-Money wobbles up, barely standing and turns around right into The Falling Star. Stargazer covers.

Kickout by T-Money. The crowd erupts. For the first time, they are behind the resident thug.

Josh Harter: SLOW COUNT! COME ON!

Phil Brooks: UNNNNNNNBELIEVABLE! He kicked out!

Stargazer looks stunned as he pulls T-Money to his feet. He holds him in place for another Falling Star, but T-Money slips out, hits the ropes, and hits a flying crossbody. T-Money up first, still dazed. Stargazer swings a wild right hand, T-Money ducks it and drills him with the Money Call. T-Money covers.

NO! Stargazer got his left foot on the rope. So close! T-Money now looks stunned, and slowly gets to his feet. He pulls Stargazer up and looks for the Money Maker, but Stargazer slips out and hits a big lariat.

Phil Brooks: Dammit! Come on T-Money!

Josh Harter: What are you crazy? He's done for.

Stargazer pulls T-Money up and hits The Celestial Enigma. T-Money spews blood as he lies on the mat. Stargazer covers.

THWACK! Stargazer is crushed in the skull by a steel chair from RYDER! The referee calls for the bell, but Ryder drills him with the steel chair as well. Stargazer is slow to his feet, and Ryder hits him once again with the chair. He then plants the chair in the center of the ring, grabs T-Money, and hits The Last Ryde right on top of the steel chair. Ryder stands over both men, beaten and bloodied as the credits for Assault begins to roll.

Phil Brooks: Ryder has left Stargazer and T-Money in a bloody mess! Look at the carnage inside of that ring!

Josh Harter: That was simply amazing, but let's not forget, T-Money is still the World Champion!

Phil Brooks: Yes, but what will Danny Vice have to say about all of this? And just two weeks before Tribulation!

The cameras fade out on a sick smile from Ryder, who wipes the blood off of his face.
