8/8 Wednesday Night Assault Results (36)

[Danny Vice]

"Church of Hot Addiction" by Cobra Starship hits the speakers in Tokyo as another edition of Assault kicks off. The pyrotechnics go off wildly as the fans cheer. The music suddenly stops and turns into "Gonna Fly Now" by Bill Conti as Danny Vice heads to the ring with microphone in hand to a huge ovation from the crowd.

Phil Brooks: Looks as if the Commissioner will make tonight's announcements!

Danny Vice: Ladies and gentleman, thank you for coming out tonight, as we continue our International Invasion. Now, I wanted to come out here and say that I hold no ill will against Yukio Blaze. And although our match will be incredible, and one of the most exciting matches I have ever been a part of, my real beef at Tribulation is with...

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.

Phil Brooks: MCCAMMON?

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: Daniel, seems to me I was left out of the Global Wrestling Classic. I know I was going to take some time off, but things have changed. I decided to keep going for a little while longer, until I can’t do it no more! And I want some action at Tribulation!

The crowd pops.

Danny Vice: J-Dub, I don't have any beef with you. And I'm in the middle of...

McCammon: I don't care Danny. I was set to face the United States Champion at Tribulation, but like I said things change, and so do I. So I am issuing an open challenge for Tribulation. Anyone who would like to take me on. One-on-one. No frills, just a straight up match. Just the way I like it…I am waiting for the victim.

Danny and JW stand their silently in the ring, staring one another down when “Stronger" by Kanye West hits the PA system. Jamal Carter comes out on stage to a standing ovation. He has no microphone, and just poses for the crowd as they roar even louder.

Danny Vice: Well then, JW, I suppose their is your answer.

McCammon smiles in the ring as he stares at Jamal Carter.

Danny Vice: Forget the small talk, you all know this company means the most in the world to me. And at Tribulation, no bitch is going to take it away. So, I am here, to guarantee, tonight, T-Money or Ryder will keep the World Championship in the hands of the GWC, and the GWC will be victorious at Tribulation!

The crowd pops as "Gonna Fly Now" hits and all three men head backstage.

Seth Lerch v. Chris Cage

Phil Brooks: And now it is time for the GWC debut of the former owner of WCF, Seth Lerch.

Josh Harter: For those not aware: The WCF ran on again, off again since around 2000. It featured superstars such as Skyler Striker, Danny Vice, Thunder, Bobby Cairo, Logan, Creeping Death.. the list goes on and on.

Phil Brooks: And mysteriously, for reasons unknown, it closed several weeks ago following Creeping Death's XIII show. Seth has apparently become some kind of alcoholic since then.

10:45 starts to blare throughout the arena as green and black lighting flash,the music is almost cancelled out by the fans chants of "Cage, Cage, Cage", and the continues clapping

Instrumental

A stream of pyro goes off on each side of the ramp as the lights stop flashing and a figure shrouded in a cloud of smoke stands at the top of the ramp.

Hardend Faster Instrumental

He makes his way down the ramp as the lyrics begin spew from the sound system.

Water broken voice, saturates a microphone
into a reciever with no tongue
offering, little to what it knows

He pats his chest and then points out to the crowd. He then points at himself while yelling to the crowd "HAIL CAGE!"as he makes his way to the ring.

Eternaly, the sun has set to mourning
and contoured are the backgrounds
on the canvas to which our lives are painted

He walks up the steps climbs between the top and middle rope and walks to the middle of the ring, he points at himself with his thumbs saying "HAIL CAGE!".The Fans chanting and cheering more profusely now.

Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats
when heaven is remembered but never seen
through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes

He walks towards the post and climbs to the second rope and sticks his arms straight out from his sides as green sparks shoot out of all four ring posts.

Eternaly, the sun has set to mourning
and contoured are the backgrounds
on the canvas to which our lives are painted

Josh Harter: Here is his opponent for tonight, Chris Cage.

Beer by Reel Big Fish plays. Seth Lerch walks out from the back, looking around at the crowd. He walks to the ring, cockily but with a bit of apprehension. He slides into the ring and raises his arms while looking around somewhat nervously.

Phil Brooks: It is worth noting that Seth IS formally trained as a wrestler, but he has never really been an in ring competitor regularly.

Seth and Cage meet in the middle of the ring and lock up. Chris overpowers Seth and gets him in a headlock. Seth pushes him off into the ropes, and as he comes back Cage hits Lerch with a shoulderblock. Seth goes down and Cage goes to drop an elbow but Seth rolls away. Cage goes for a kick, but Seth rolls away again and out of the ring.

Josh Harter: Guess he needs to regroup.

Seth goes under the ring, searching for something.

Phil Brooks: Is he looking for a weapon? This isn't a hardcore match..

Seth pulls out.. a bottle of Bicardi 151.

Josh Harter: ...What.

Seth takes a quick swig from it, getting a sick oh-god-this-burns look on his face for several seconds afterwards.

Phil Brooks: Disgusting.

Josh Harter: At least maybe he isn't going to feel what's about to happen.

Chris Cage hits a Suicide Dive through the middle ropes, knocking Seth down and sending the bottle flying. Cage then begins laying the kicks to Seth, who tries his best to get up but isn't able to. A fan yells something to Cage, who turns... and is met with powder thrown in his eyes!

Phil Brooks: What the-

The fan was Bob the Cameraman, associate of...

Josh Harter: Rick Mad!

The ref is busy trying to get rid of the alcohol bottle Seth had dropped earlier, and Rick Mad has come out of nowhere with a steel chair. He whacks Cage hard in the head with it!

Phil Brooks: These are the men Seth hired to protect him, I assume!

Rick rolls Cage into the ring, and Seth follows. Seth picks Chris up, takes a deep breath and hits a Crucifix Powerbomb!

Josh Harter: That's the 151!

Seth pins, hooking Cage's leg.

One!

Two!

Three!

Phil Brooks: I don't believe it.

Rick and Bob enter the ring, holding Seth's hands up in celebration. Seth looks around, grabs the ref and asks where his alcohol bottle went. The ref informs him it got thrown out. In a rage, Seth punches the ref right in the face.

Josh Harter: What a jerk.

Rick and Bob grab Seth, trying to calm him down. Eventually he stops caring and leaves the ring, slapping hands as he heads to the back.

Phil Brooks: Well, looks like Rick and Bob are back as well. Great.

The three men head to the back.

Bobby Cairo v. BA Monk

Michelle Madison: The following match is for one fall! Introducing first, from Hartford, Connecticut, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is Bobby Cairo!

The opening strains of "Limelight" by Rush fill the arena as yellow, red and green lights flicker in the rafters. Bobby Cairo appears at the entranceway to a hostile reaction from the capacity crowd. Cairo does some Dean Malenko wrist exercises as he walks down the aisle. Cairo slides into the ring and takes a seat atop the top turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.

Michelle Madison: And his opponent, from Greenville, South Carolina, weighing in at 242 pounds he is B.A. Monk!

The lights dim as red and blue strobes flash over the crowd and entrance ramp. "Superbeast" by Rob Zombie comes over the PA as Monk walks slowly out to the top of the ramp lifting his arms in an "X" before walking toward the ring. Monk stops and starts to argue with one of the fans just before high-fiving another. Arrogance seeps off of him as he smirks and steps up and into the ring. Monk goes to the far corner again making the "X" with his arms before taunting the crowd a little. He hops off the ropes and stretches on the ropes waiting for the match to begin.

Josh Harter: Both of these men made impressive debuts or re-debuts by attacking established wrestlers, but now they’re against each other.

Phil Brooks: Indeed they did, and are. Only one can emerge with the win.

Cairo and Monk lock up as the bell rings, and Monk immediately seeks to avoid any direct shots by whipping Cairo into the ropes and delivering a high knee on his return. Monk hits the downed Cairo with a leg drop and covers, 1..no, Cairo kicks out and is back on his feet. Cairo naturally takes an immediate attack on Monk and grabs his back, nailing a perfect Lungblower but rebounding off of it and pushing Monk forward to nail a facebuster with Cairo’s knees in Monk’s back! Cairo goes for a cover, 1..2No, kickout from Monk.

Phil Brooks: Good opening offense from both wrestlers.

Cairo picks Monk up and hits a spinebuster, or would have had Monk not pulled his legs up meaning Cairo winds himself on Monk’s raised knees. Cairo rolls out of the ring in pain, and Monk runs at him to baseball slide but Cairo pulls the ring apron away from the ring and Monk gets caught in it, and Cairo goes straight to work on him throwing lefts and rights at the trapped Monk! The crowd boos but when Monk ducks out and low blows Cairo out of the ref’s view, they also boo him.

Josh Harter: Make up your minds! You have to like someone!

Monk grabs Cairo and throws him into the ring, and immediately goes for a cover, 1..2..no, kickout from Cairo, who rolls up against the ropes, Monk comes running at him but Cairo ducks and Monk gets his arms trapped in the ring ropes! Cairo runs at him but MONK WAS FOOLING and instead Monk frontflips to nail Cairo with a quick Pele kick!

Phil Brooks: Monk is definitely outsmarting Cairo here!

Josh Harter: This action just keeps going!

Monk springboards off the ropes and clotheslines Cairo down to the mat, and as Cairo gets to his knees Monk nails a shining wizard to take him back down and covers, 1..2..no, Cairo kicks out barely. Monk is frustrated and hits the top rope, ready to jump, and nails a 450 splash from the top rope! Monk covers Cairo, 1..2..no, kickout! Monk wastes no time and raises Cairo, lifting him into a vertical suplex, stalling it, and nailing a sitout neckbreaker from it, his finisher The End!

Josh Harter: What! Look!

Behind Monk stands BIOHAZARD. He grabs Monk, spins him around, and spits Toxic Waste in his face! He then hits The Demise of God's Creation.

Phil Brooks: He's here! In the GWC! BIOHAZARD! AHHHH!!!!

Kevin Sensation hits the ring and drops Biohazard with a dropkick. He goes to stomp on him but he rolls out of the ring before any real damage can happen. Cairo rolls out as well.

Phil Brooks: Well there you have it, BA Monk re-debuts one day, and now Biohazard debuts the next. What an exciting turn of events for the Global Wrestling Coalition.

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.

Thunder Segment

The scene cuts backstage to the GWC Interview Center where Tim Ryan is standing with microphone in hand. To his right is Tapout Champion Thunder, who has his championship on his shoulder.

Tim Ryan: I am joined at this time by two time GWC World Champion and current Tapout Champion, Michael "Thunder" Knight. Last week you defeated Kevin Hardaway in a hard fought battle, but before we can even discuss that, I have to get to the question that must be on everyone's mind right now. What is your motive behind helping Xavier Cross?

Thunder: Motive? Who said I had a motive? Tim, I understand that I am not known as the nicest guy around here and that I've been involved in my share of underhanded tactics, but let me assure you this. I am not in this for myself. What I wanted to do was mentor a young, talented GWC superstar and take him to the next level, to take him from the future to the present. Xavier Cross is that wrestler. Under my guidance, he will take the next step, the ultimate step of becoming World Champion.

Tim Ryan: Speaking of World Champion, tonight T-Money will defend the World Title against Ryder and Stargazer. What are your thoughts on that match?

Thunder: Well first off, there is one glaring problem with that match. The former champion, the man who never got a rematch, isn't in there. Danny has no excuse this time. Now he's just not booking me at all when I should rightfully be put into that match. As far as those three chumps go, I couldn't care less who wins the title. The winner will simply be a placeholder until I finally get my shot. That World Title will be mine, and when the time comes, it will be Xavier's.

Tim Ryan: So let's talk about your match at--

Thunder: I'm terribly sorry Tim, but it appears that we're out of time. I'll see you at Tribulation, where my team will our poor excuses for opponents.

Thunder walks away as we head back to the ring.

But then Darkness plants his foot and starts to push Pillage back. He backs Pillage into the corner and the ref makes them break it up. They come out and stare down in the middle of the ring. Darkness then offers his hand for a test of strength. Pillage cautiously approaches and grabs the hand. They then lock the other hands. They meet chest to chest and push. Darkness starts to win out, raising the arms up and bending Pillage's hands back. Pillage is struggling to fight it as Darkness forces him down to one knee. The crowd starts chanting and clapping and Pillage seems to be getting energized. Pillage gets to his feet and starts to push Darkness's hand back. He bends them back, and forces Darkness to one knee. The crowd chants and claps and Darkness starts to pump up and get to his feet. Both men are standing and struggling. Then Darkness kicks Pillage in the gut and breaks the hold.

Outcast v. Reckless Jack

"Reach and touch faith" screams over the speakers as Marilyn Mansons' "Personal Jesus" plays. Outcast walks out of the backstage onto the ramps as Jeff Hardy style explosions goes off.

Outcast walks down the ramp to a mixed reaction, mostly boos now. He stops half way down the ramp and raises his right arm slowly up the the hair with his hand open, then slowly closes it to make a fist. He continues to walk down the ramp. He walks to some ring side fans and points to himself. He trades words with the fans then gives them the finger and turns around to walk up the stairs leading to the ring. He slowly gets into the ring and walks to the middle. He looks around the arena slowly, then walks to his respective corner and sits on the top turnbuckle.

Josh Harter: Outcast shall win tonight. Jack sucks.

Phil Brooks: To me, Outcast seemed like he really wants to have this be a clean match in memory of Jack's son.

The arena goes dark as the opening of “Self Revolution” by Killswitch Engage starts as strobe lights kick into effect as the first verse enters the arena. At this point, we see Reckless Jack standing amidst the strobe lights on one knee. When the chorus begins, Reckless Jack pounds the ground and gets to his feet. He then proceeds to throw his arms out as the strobe stops and the house lights come back on. Reckless Jack looks out at the crowd as he sees some of them singing along with the song. He nods his head as he starts to walk down to the ring. During his walk, he slaps a few hands of fans wanting to make some form of contact with him. When Reckless Jack gets near the ring apron, he turns around with his back to the ring. He makes the “X” sign with his arms before turning back around and rolling into the ring. Once in the ring, he gets on the nearest turnbuckle and throws his arms out again before bringing them back into the “X” sign. He jumps off that turnbuckle and does the same thing on the opposite one. Once he jumps off of that one, Reckless Jack goes into the middle of the ring and throws off his hooded sweatshirt as the fans go crazy, trying to grab it in midair to claim it as their own. Reckless Jack now crouches down and inhales deeply as he jumps back to his feet, waiting for his match to begin.

Phil Brooks: How he is doing this, I don't know.

Josh Harter: Meh, pansy.

Outcast drops the mic as Jack gets in his face. Reckless Jack extends his hand as Outcast slaps it away to start. Jack circles around, wanting to lock up, but Outcast puts up his hands ready for a wild brawl. Jack makes the first move, darting in for a single leg takedown, but Outcast pushes him off. Jack gets up and looks at Outcast. Outcast smiles. Jack moves in for an arm lock, but Outcast Hip Tosses Jack to the mat.

Phil Brooks: Here we go.

Josh Harter: Nice counter by Outcast

Jack gets back up and rushes at Outcast with a running Calf Kick. Outcast isn’t able to dodge the move in time and goes down. Jack gets up and tries to get an Arm Lock on Outcast. Outcast is able to power out of the move and get to a standing base again. Jack gets in the face of Outcast again. Like the first time, he bitchslaps Outcast right in the face. Outcast returns the favor with a giant slap to Reckless Jack. Jack gets pissed and goes for a right hand, but Outcast blocks and hits a huge flurry of right hands himself. Jack is reeling into the turnbuckle as Outcast stops with the right hands. He backs up a little bit and runs forward with a huge Lariat in the corner to Reckless Jack. Jack goes to the mat.

Josh Harter: Why does Jack always get his ass kicked?

Phil Brooks: You know his head isn't on this match.

Outcast stays on the attack with well placed stomps to the back of Reckless Jack. Jack is able to get out of the ring for a third time. He stands up as Lucy comes over and checks on him. However, Outcast is tired of this and gets out of the ring to follow Jack. Jack starts to run around the ring as Outcast follows him. Jack slides in and runs against the ropes as Outcast is getting in the ring. Jack comes off the ropes and hits a dropkick to Outcast. Outcast goes flying into the barricade. Reckless Jack waits till Outcast is on his feet before running off the ropes again. Reckless Jack leaps over the top rope and lands on Outcast. Jack gets up and tries to pick up Outcast but it is blocked with a punch to the gut. Outcast tries to whip Jack into the ring steps, but Jack is able to reverse. Outcast goes knee first into the ring steps. He rolls away holding onto the left knee.

Phil Brooks: Oh ouch.

Josh Harter: Meh, I've seen harder shots.

Outcast is trying to get to his feet, but Jack clips the left knee on the outside of the ring. Outcast has a painful look on his face, but is keeping his screams in. Jack rolls in and out of the ring to break the count. Outcast is up on his feet now, walking gingerly with that left knee. Jack chops him in the chest. Then kicks him in the stomach. Now, Jack picks up Outcast and drops him knee first on the steel steps. We hear the impact as Outcast goes back to holding his knee. Jack picks him up and rolls him into the ring somewhat, just leaving that left leg and knee on the ring apron. Reckless Jack grabs the leg and slams it down on the ring apron as hard as he can. Outcast rolls all the way into the ring now, clutching his leg.

Josh Harter: Yeah, this is boring.

Phil Brooks: I think not sir.

Jack gets on the ring apron and sees Outcast is still down. So he springboards into a Shooting Star Press that lands on Outcast’s injured leg. Jack then locks in a Side Leglock. Outcast is reaching out for the ropes almost instinctively. Jack puts more pressure on the Leglock as Outcast is slowly getting to the ropes. Outcast finally does as Jack lets the hold go. However, he pulls Outcast into the middle of the ring and slaps on a STF.

Phil Brooks: This could be it here.

Josh Harter: And because you said it, he won't tap out.

Outcast is fighting his way toward the ropes, but the closer to the ropes, the harder Jack locks in the STF. Outcast fights his way to the ropes now, getting the break. Jack lets go of the hold only to punt kick Outcast in the ribs. Jack picks up Outcast now and hits a perfect Butterfly Suplex. He doesn’t cover but instead grabs the legs of Outcast and puts him in a Boston Crab. Outcast fights his way to the ropes once again. The ref is pleading with Jack to break the hold. Reckless Jack lets the hold go as he walks away.

The bell rings as both men slowly get back to their feet. The crowd cheers them as Reckless Jack has tears in his eyes as Outcast gets up to his feet. Outcast now extends his hand to Reckless Jack. Jack shakes it as Outcast pulls him in and pats on the back. Reckless Jack falls back onto his knees as Outcast leaves the ring. As he composes himself, he asks for a microphone.

Reckless Jack: Ladies and gentlemen, the final piece of my puzzle has been filled. What I perceive to be the final piece in Uncultured Youth has come around. Let me introduce him, the only way we know how to...

"THIS FIRE BURNS!"

And with that, Killswitch Engage's "This Fire Burns" comes blaring over the system. People now cheer loudly as they know who it is, and out of the blue and white strobe lights walks Kevin Hardaway, getting cheered as he walks around the entrance ramp, trying to get all of the people and fans on their feet, going nuts as he finally starts walking to the ring, chorus playing and all.

Even through the darkest days
This fire burns, always
This fire burns
Always

Kevin hits the ring and thinks for a second, before pulling his head back up as he runs and jumps in one stride on the apron. Kevin gets in the ring and immediately goes on the top turnbuckle raising his arms up in the air, the fans cheering for him as he drops down and grabs the mic from Jack.

Kevin Hardaway: Thank you Jack. That's right...Kevin Hardaway is in Uncultured Youth. After all of the weeks, months, and years of going out there against Jack, and thinking of him as one of my worst enemies ever. After all of the pain, the blood, and the sweat we went through across the world in the XHF, after everything you and Jay Williams went through there and in WCF. Well, the dominoes seem to be in place I guess. But you know, I didn't do this without reason. And I have three strong solid reasons why i'm standing in this ring, talking to you tonight...the newest member of Uncultured Youth with David Alastair, Murder Inc., and Reckless Jack.

The crowd is cheering now as Kevin cracks a smile to them, letting it all soak in.

Kevin Hardaway: Reason #1 being...gratitude. You see, over at the XHF right now, it's barely a ghost town as of now. We truely thought that last Sunday's PPV was gonna be their last one. Trust me, I was there. I had to wrestle in some silly "H-O-R-S-E" match. I didn't even see the main event. I was out of the door the minute I lost that match. You see, here...they actually give us all a chance. And here at the GWC, I've regained my spirit of wrestling, I've regained what I thought was fun and great in wrestling, not all that bullcrap we see over there. There, you're lucky if you get a promo for someone else who isn't "Awesome" or someone else who isn't trying to have a movie company sue their asses over. Here, you get a chance at the limelight. Here, we have a shot at greatness. I'm here in Uncultured Youth because people out there think I'm worth something to them, one of those people standing in the ring with me at this time. Which leads me to my second reason.

Some crowd "Oooohs" are heard, but the crowd is still accepting what's going on inside the ring.

Kevin Hardaway: Reason #2 being...acceptance. Just last week, Jack lost, the most important member of his family. He lost his son. And Jack, we all feel for you. We all know what you're going through. We've been down that path before, man. But you need to know that me and Jack have had a long standing friendship, longer than anyone ever knows of. And a few nights ago, I was at his funeral...and I went up to him to console him, and I said "Hey, if you ever need anything, or anybody...i'm here". And he looked around, wiped the rain from his face, and he said "Yes, actually I do." He knew what the hell I was going through. He knew the problems that I was facing as of that moment. He knew the hell I was going through, not just with wrestling, but in personal matters too...and i'll get to that in just a minute, that being reason #3. But Jack...personally, I wanna say "thanks". Thanks for getting me out before I could self-destruct in my problems. Now let me talk about reason #3 why i'm here.

Before Kevin speaks the last second, clapping is heard from the crowd now. But Kevin keeps on going, kind of ignoring what is heard. It appears that he wants to get something off of his chest and right now.

Kevin Hardaway: Reason #3 being...contemption. Tonight, you see me in the ring talking to you all, but some people are out there, they're thinking for some oddballed reason "Where the hell is Angie at?". Well...i'll tell you all what happened. About a couple days ago, I was at my house in Baltimore, resting up from a flu which is why i'm not wrestling tonight, hell I wasn't supposed to be here. But I was there, resting, watching TV when my phone rang. I picked it up, answered it, it was some raspy voice...I couldn't tell who it was. He was asking for Angie. I gave it to her...and just the way she was talking, walking, god knows what...I knew something was up. I knew she was hiding something from me. She hung up the phone and I had to ask her questions, about what the hell was going on. Because if you've seen my last few promos, she hasn't been in them. She's been back home for some reason. Well I find out the whole bloody truth.

Kevin wipes what appears to be tears from his eyes as he sucks it up, takes a deep breath and puts the microphone back up to his mouth.

Kevin Hardaway: Apparently she was having an affair. Yes, she was having an affair. And the weird thing is, I could smell the impending taste of beer coming from her blouse. She thought she could hide it. She thought she could just throw it all up in a little ball and put it beside her. She didn't know I was gonna be sick though. Ironically enough, that's when Jack called and asked if we could come to his son's funeral. So somehow, I got up, I got my things and I walked out of the door. I haven't seen her, I've haven't talked to her since. And if she's watching now, she better be watching this from either her parents' house, or from a fucking motel. Because when I come back to the States, you better be out of my house, you bitch.

Crowd cheers are heard now as Kevin cracks a smile from his face, the crowd now clapping as all of a sudden, the GWC US Champion, David Alastair and Murder Inc., the team of Xavier Hudson and Anthony Clark both walk to the ring. For the first time, Uncultured Youth is here as a team.

Kevin Hardaway: I went to the funeral, I met Jack, and I told him everything that i've told you guys tonight. Which is the reason why he said "Yes, I actually do." You see, Uncultured Youth, this just isn't about the term "straight edge". We're not a whole bunch of people who just decided to stop drinking and drugs, and all of that stuff just because you see bands on MTV do it. This right here, Uncultured Youth, is about respect and it's about the life you can have if you stop bullshitting around once in awhile. This is not about a code, it's about a lifestyle. A lifestyle of going through so much shit in your life unscathed. This is Uncultured Youth, ladies and gentlemen. As Jack said, the final puzzle piece is in place. And this is our statement.

Kevin drops the mic as "Daylight Dies" by Killswitch Engage now plays over the arena. All of the team now do the straight edge "X" logo as Kevin and Jack go to the turnbuckles to do it, to much crowd cheer as all five of them walk out of the ring.

Phil Brooks: With Hardaway now in Uncultured Youth, what does this mean?

Josh Harter: I don't know, and I don't wanna know.

Joe Ragnal and Skyler Striker segment

*Backstage, Joe Ragnal is pacing around, looking at his watch.*

Joe: Alright, he’ll be here, man. Just relax. He’ll be here in three…two…one…aaaaand-

*Joe turns to his left, and finds a tall guy wearing a gorilla costume.*

Joe: Oh, um, sorry…You haven’t seen Skyler around, have you?

*The gorilla points behind Joe.*

Joe: Alright, thanks.

*Joe turns to his right, and the camera follows, showing Skyler standing next to him, holding the TV title on his shoulder.*

Joe: Hey, man. How ya been?

Skyler: Fine, I won the Television title and next week, we’re finishing off EPW once and for all.

Joe: Cool, cool. Glad to hear that, amigo. But hey, you saw that announcement I made last week, right?

Skyler: I did, yes. You wanted to fight for the title in your match, right?

Joe: That’s right, the good ol’ FUN House. I figure no other match between us is going to get any more brutal,so why not suggest that?

Skyler: Well…you know, this might not get on PPV.

Joe: Like that makes any difference? Dude, this isn’t about ratings, spiking a PPV buyrate…this is about having FUN, and there’s no other match that you can have FUN with, yanno what I’m saying?

Skyler: Hm…you know what? You’re right.

*Skyler extends his hand out to the Innovator.*

Skyler: FUN House. You and me. TV championship.

*Joe smiles from ear to ear.*

Joe: It’s a date!

*The two shake hands as the camera switches to somewhere else.*

Xavier Hudson v. Lexington "The Poet" Royale

Michelle Madison: The following match is scheduled for one fall.

Before the music starts, the lights in the arena go out. A spotlight appears in the center of the ring and a burst of smoke fills the area. Once it clears, we are greeted with the sight of Reginald "The Magician" Churchill. He has a microphone in hand and begins to speak...

Churchill - "Ladies and gentlemen...about to come down the aisle...weighing in at 235 pounds and standing at 6'3"...he hails from London, England and is known as the Word Warrior, the Civil Champion, and the Artful Avenger...he is none other than...Lexington "The Poet" Royale!"

Michelle Madison: And his opponent, weighing in at 202 pounds….Xavier Hudson!

Frank Castle: I made you kill your best friend. I made you kill your wife. Now I've killed you.

And as soon as that’s said. You hear the scream from the begining of the song “Sound Of The Sun” By Silverstein. The lights turn, blue, and purplish. Walking out from the curtain is Xavier Hudson. He throws his hands up in the air as he walks out, and the fans start booing at him. He then yells for them to all go to hell as he walks down the walk way. He then walks down with a cocky swagger, and a little smirk on his face. He walks over to the steps, and walks up them. He then goes under the top rope to enter the ring. As he does he does a little pop up, and throws his fist up again showing off his arrogance. The fans boo loudly as he does that. He smirks then eating all of their hatred up.

The bell rings, and the two men lock up. Royale immediately hits Hudson with two quick European Uppercuts, which send the youngster stumbling back. Poet advances towards Hudson, but is met with a European Uppercut from Xavier. Hudson seizes the opportunity and hits a quick Enziguri, sending Royale to the mat. Hudson quickly goes for the pin.

…1

…2

Royale kicks out right before the three count.

Josh Harter: Wow, almost an upset just then.

Phil Brooks: Now you know why Lexington is a two time tag champ.

Hudson looks at the ref in disbelief, allowing Royale to get back to his feet. As he stumbles around the ring, Hudson charges at Royale, but is hit with a clothesline. Royale grabs the legs of Xavier, and locks in a Boston Crab. As Poet wrenches back, Hudson struggles to reach the ropes.

Phil Brooks: It’s over, Hudson has to tap.

Josh Harter: Don’t be so sure about that one Phil.

Finally, Hudson is able to reach the ropes. Royale breaks the hold, and delivers a swift kick to the ribs of Hudson, causing him to roll out of the ring. Hudson gets to his feet, and slides back in, only to be met with another kick. Royale lifts him off of the mat, and lifts him up for a vertical suplex. Hudson is able to use the momentum to land on his feet, and as soon as Royale turns around, Hudson hits him with a brutal superkick.

Phil Brooks: This might be the beginning of the end for Lex.

Josh Harter: I think you might be right Phil.

Hudson lifts the body of Royale up, and props him on the top turnbuckle. He grabs his head, and delivers a vicious Full Imperial Collapse. Instead of going for the cover though, he lifts him up, and places him back on the turnbuckle. He delivers another Full Imperial Collapse, before covering Poet.

Phil Brooks: Look at the blatant disrespect by Hudson.

Josh Harter: He is just sending a message to Gold Foundation.

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner….Xavier Hudson!

Xavier Cross and Skyler Striker v. Zak Warner and Talan Trenor

The referee never got control of this match, as Trenor and Warner came in flying to attack Cross and Striker before they were ready. With so much brewing on next week's Eight Man War, the hate could be tasted inside of the arena. Finally, Trenor and Cross weer separated, and Warner dominated Striker. He screamed about regaining his TV title and had several nearfalls before Striker countrered with Final Revelation. Striker hot tagged Cross, while Warner did the same for Trenor, but it was all Cross as he destroyed Talan. After Kiss The Cross, Warner broke up the count with a steel chair shot to Cross' skull, then one for Striker, giving GWC the win by DQ.

T-Money segment

The scene cuts to the Affliction locker room where Ryder and James, The Emperor’s personal secretary and interpreter, are having a conversation.

James: Are you ready for tonight?

Ryder: What do you think? Last week I had it won, but this week….this week will be different.

A knock is heard at the door.

James: I got it….

James gets up, walks towards the door, and opens it. There stands T-Money and DJ.

T-Money: Sup homie?

Ryder rushes over to the door.

Ryder: Get back James, stay away from them.

James retreats to stand behind Ryder, who is now face to face with T-Money.

T-Money: Oh look at you…you’re good at protecting ya boy, but why is it that you struggle to protect yourself?

Ryder: You have until the count of three to get out of my face or you won’t make it to the match tonight.

DJ: T, is Johnny Depp right here serious?

T-Money: There’s no way he can be.

Ryder: One……two……

T-Money nails Ryder in the jaw with a right hand and the two begin brawling as DJ goes after James. GWC officials quickly rush into the locker room and separate the four men.

United States Title Match
David Alastair (c) v. 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: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the United States Championship! Making his way to the ring....SNAD!

Crowd: BANG!

The sudden bang of sound comes forth. However, this is not David Alastair's music. Not even close. And the lights go out, leaving everyone in the darkness. The sound coming out is bells tolling. This causes the crowd to go nuts in anticipation. A familiar song hits after the bells ... "Listen" by Index Case, more or less confirming the obvious. The lights come back on a bit and the man himself, Creeping Death busts out from the backstage area, jumping around the stage headbanging. CD looks way different, having gone back to the claw style face paint, and added some red highlights to his hair.

CD takes off down the ramp, dives through the middle and bottom rope, rolling to Snad and coming up with a gigantic lariat, whipping Snad around in a corkscrew. The crowd is exploding, both vocally and romatically. Snad stumbles to his feet, holding the ropes, only to get jacked up with a flying knee strike to the chest, Tony Jaa style. This knocks Snad into the ropes, sending him bouncing back into the waiting arms of Creeping Death, who executes the most amazingly perfect spinebuster since Arn Anderson. CD jumps up to the top turnbuckle and comes off just as fast with a 450 splash, taking the wind out of Snad. "Listen" hasn't even stopped playing yet, and the crowd is cheering over top of it. CD calls for a microphone, and gets one.

Creeping Death: What would a GWC show in Tokyo be without Creeping Death?!

Crowd marks out.

Creeping Death: And what would Creeping Death be without making a big impact?

Crowd marks out again.

Creeping Death: The last time I was in this town, I walked into a cage, and walked out a World Champion. Then GWC strolls into town without even offering me a little slot on the card, or even an interview? Come oooon. I built the groundwork GWC is on here in Tokyo. Hell, one could even say I built the groundwork GWC itself is built on ... and I get disrespected like this? Excuse me while I take the next few months to run through this company properly.

CD simply drops the microphone, and the crowd goes bonkers even moreso than before. CD drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring, leaving Snad in the ring clutching his ribs. CD makes his way up the ramp to a chorus of cheers from the crowd before entering backstage once again.

Josh Harter: Who does this guy think he is? Coming in here and effectively taking us down a US Title Match! Everyone involved has to be just fuming!

World Title Match
T-Money (c) v. Ryder v. Stargazer

Phil Brooks: Finally Josh, it’s time for the main event. The World Title. The Big Shabang!

Josh Harter: There is no way T-Money retains tonight. Two major opponents in the ring with him, just too many odds against him.

Phil Brooks: Let’s not forget that T-Money is scheduled to partner with Ryder next week in that huge Tribulation Eight Man War!

Josh Harter: And their most dangerous opponent? Stargazer.

Michelle Madison: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall, and is a triple threat match for the GWC World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. He is standing 6’4” tall and weighs 245 pounds……..THIS 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. Suddenly, a multitude of pyros go off as Ryder steps forward wearing his traditional ring attire. He walks down the ramp and climbs up the steps, pausing to survey the crowd before stepping inside. He walks to the center of the ring, faces the camera, and sticks his fists straight out to the sides as pyros explode from the four turnbuckles. He smiles confidently and begins preparing for the match ahead.

Michelle Madison: Our second challenger, from The Celestial Kingdom. He is 6’3” and 249 pounds…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. The crowd starts to go berserk for the lyrics, Stargazer comes out of the back, soaking in the praise he receives. Stargazer rolls into the ring, the crowd now singing the chorus of the song, Stargazer leaps on a turnbuckle and starts to chant wtih his fans. 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. Stargazer now awaits his opponent, ready, for the battle ahead.

Michelle Madison: And now, from ORLANDO, FLORIDA! He is 6’2” and 183 pounds. The current GWC World Heavyweight 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. The crowd giving him the most positive reaction he has ever received. 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 the referee.

The referee holds the title overhead as everyone cheers it, before the bell sounds. All three men ponder their first strike as they circle the ring. Stargazer and Ryder catch eyes, and both striker T-Money, one with a knee the other a right hand.

Phil Brooks: Traitor! Ryder is going after T-Money!

Josh Harter: Tonight isn’t about EPW and GWC. Tonight is all about the gold.

The two men work T-Money into the corner, before Stargazer whips him across into the other corner. Stargazer drops on all four as Ryder leaps off his back to hit Poetry in Motion, but T-Money catches Ryder and drills him with a huge powerbomb. Ryder rolls out of the ring clutching his back from the devastating move.

Phil Brooks: WOW! That is some true brute power from the champion.

Josh Harter: The smallest guy in their delivers the biggest opening blow.

Stargazer wastes no time to hit T-Money with a right hand, followed by a fisherman suplex into a bridge.

1…

Kickout by T-Money. Both men quick to their feet, but Stargazer drives T-Money down with a clothesline. T back up, but another clothesline sends him down as Stargazer poses to a huge ovation from the crowd.

Phil Brooks: Interesting, the people of Tokyo seem to love this man.

Stargazer applies a rear naked choke to T-Money in the center of the ring. The crowd begins cheering as he reaches for the ropes. Stargazer applies more pressure, as he grits his teeth and pulls. T-Money stops a few feet from the ropes, seemingly running out of air. His face turns blew and his head drops to the mat. The referee lifts his arm for the count.

Crowd: 1!

The referee lifts his arm, which drops again.

Crowd: 2!

The referee lifts T-Money’s arm a third time, but seemingly out of nowhere, Ryder springboards into the ring from the top rope and hits a legdrop across the back of the neck of Stargazer, releasing the hold before T-Money’s arm hits the mat. Ryder pulls Stargazer up, and hits a guillotine neckbreaker. He hooks the leg…

1…

2…

Kickout by Stargazer.

Josh Harter: See what I mean. Both challengers nearly became the new champion there, T-Money had better step up his game if he wants to retain his title.

Phil Brooks: I thought you said it won’t matter?

Ryder pulls Stargazer up to his feet and lifts him high in air with the Ryderplex, stalling for a long time as the crowd booes. Before he can drop him to his back, Ryder catches a superkick to the jaw from T-Money, increasing the force of the Ryderplex on Stargazer. Stargazer rolls in pain as Ryder looks out cold. T-Money covers Ryder.

1…

2…

3!!!

No! Stargazer is able to put Ryder’s arm on the rope at the last possible second.

Josh Harter: So smart. That’s why he’s here. He’s just the most well-rounded man in the business.

Stargazer begins stomping away on T-Money’s upperback and neck, possibly for that rear naked choke again.

Phil Brooks: Good work by Stargazer isolating a body part and sticking to it.

Ryder is up slowly, and Stargazer senses it. He kicks Ryder in the gut, and then lifts him high for a running powerbombp. Ryder reverses it and connects with The Last Ryde! He covers Stargazer.

1…

2…

T-Money breaks up the three count! Nearly a new World Champion!

Phil Brooks: The nearfalls are truly tearing up my heart right now.

Josh Harter: Thanks, Lance Bass.

Stargazer rolls out of the ring, disoriented from the huge move from Ryder. Ryder follows him right outside, as does T-Money. Ryder kicks Stargazer while he’s kneeling, then connects with a superkick to the jaw, nearly taking Stargazer’s head off. T-Money and Ryder begin conversing, and they seem to have come to some understanding.

Phil Brooks: What are they doing?

Josh Harter: If they work together, they can take one man out of this match. One less man to worry about, one less problem, and a better show of taking home the title.

Phil Brooks: Yes, but they are tearing apart the Spanish Announce Table!

T-Money clears the announce table, then places Stargazer on top with a scoop slam. He holds Stargazer in place as Ryder has climbed high above on the turnbuckle. The crowd is on their feet cheering as Ryder gains his balance. He leaps off looking for a huge elbow drop, but T-Money lets go of Stargazer and drills Ryder with the Money Call heel kick!

Phil Brooks: Oh my! Ryder’s head just snapped back when it smacked the floor of the arena! What a move by T-Money. It looks he has done just what you said, and taken out one of his opponents!

Josh Harter: UNREAL! He just duped Ryder into that, and now Ryder thinks he’s back home in New Mexico and nowhere near Tokyo.

T-Money hits two right hands to the face of Stargazer before rolling him back in the ring. T-Money slides in as well and begins to pull Stargazer to his feet, but Stargazer quickly rolls him up for a pin.

1…

2…

Kickout by T-Money. Both men up quickly. Stargazer swings wildly, ducked by T-Money who executes a perfect dragon suplex with a bridge.

1…

2…

3…no! Stargazer kicks out this time. The crowd sighs loudly with each nearfall. T-Money up first and hits a knee to the gut of Stargazer. He bounces off the ropes and looks for a guillotine leg drop, but Stargazer quickly moves out of the way, and locks in a single leg crab. T-Money seems stuck in the middle of the ring and screams in pain. Ryder still unconscious outside of the ring, his only way out of this is to reach the ropes. He pulls with all his might toward the ropes. He’s a few inches away now, but Stargazer wisely stands up and walks him back into the center of the ring. The crowd is going wild as the referee continues to ask T-Money what to do.

Josh Harter: Tap out and save yourself from serious harm. You can fight this battle another day, Stargazer is just the better man today!

Phil Brooks: This man has never tapped out. He doesn’t have an ounce of quit inside of him. Look! He’s still pulling himself toward the ropes.

T-Money is back a few inches from the ropes as Stargazer really leans back into the hold. T-Money looks like he can’t reach the rope and is going to tap. He reaches, pulls, so close, but Stargazer again stands up to walk him back. During this walk, T-Money reaches back and Stargazer’s left leg, and reverses the hold into an ankle lock!

Josh Harter: WHOA!

Phil Brooks: What a sensational reversal by the champion. He isn’t known for his submission style, but he just flipped this right on Stargazer.

Josh Harter: Yes, but his base is weak as his right leg is just in terrible shape after Stargazer’s crab.

Stargazer is able to finally power out of the hold and shoves T-Money into the turnbuckle. Stargazer gets up, with a little limp in his step, and hits an elbow to the skull of T-Money. He turns to whip T-Money across to the far turnbuckle, but T-Money merely collapses on his way, unable to run. Stargazer tries to apply another single leg crab, but T-Money rolls HIM up this time!

1…

2…

Kickout by Stargazer. Both men lie on their backs breathing heavily.

Crowd 1: T-Money!

Crowd 2: Stargazer!

Crowd 1: T-Money!

Crowd 2: Stargazer!

Phil Brooks: It’s time for pandemonium in Tokyo!

Both men pull themselves up slowly, each with a limp on opposing legs. Stargazer goes on the attack, and looks to hit Celestial Enigma, but T-Money reverses it and tries for the Money Maker, but cannot lift Stargazer with his bad back and leg. Stargazer shoves T-Money off and into the ropes. He bounces back and looks for a superkick, but it is poorly executed, allowing Stargazer to dodge it and drop T-Money with The Falling Star.

Phil Brooks: FALLING STAR! FALLING STAR! NEW CHAMPION!

1…

2…

3!!!!

Josh Harter: NO!

Phil Brooks: HOW DID HE DO THAT!?!?!?

T-Money somehow got his shoulder up. The referee signals two as Stargazer screams at him. His face is bright red with fury as he climbs to his feet. He pulls T-Money up slowly, and connects with a European Uppercut. T-Money drops back to the mat, seemingly lifeless. Stargazer walks over slowly toward T-Money, but out of nowhere Ryder flies off the top rope satellite headscissors that sends Stargazer flying out of the ring through the ropes. Ryder scampers over and covers T-Money.

1…

2…

Kickout by T-Money! The crowd erupts. The champion is still alive.

Phil Brooks: This is absolutely insane. Someone must win this match.

Ryder pulls T-Money and looks for the Last Ryde. He runs off the nearest turnbuckle, but T-Money shoves Ryder off who lands on the mat. Ryder hops up and spins around but gets caught with the Money Call from T-Money. T-Money covers.

1…

2…

Stargazer slides back into the ring and makes the save.

Josh Harter: Ok, this is getting ridiculous.

All three men lay motionless in the ring as the referee begins his ten count.

1…

6…Ryder and Stargazer begin to stir.

7…

8…T-Money begins to move as Ryder is up to a knee.

9…Ryder breaks the count as Stargazer and T-Money make it to a knee. Ryder leans back onto the ropes and then runs forward, stomping the head of Stargazer. He turns and hits T-Money with a big right hand, followed by a sharp left jab. Ryder then sweeps both of T-Money’s legs out from under him and follows with a sharp elbow to the heart. He covers T-Money.

1…

2…

Kickout by T-Money. Ryder is up first and hits Stargazer with a right hand, then a huge Death Vally Driver. T-Money is slowly getting up, Ryder catapults off the middle rope and hits a springboard flying forearm smash, sending T-Money through the ropes and onto the edge of the apron. Ryder then back around covers Stargazer.

1…

2…

Kickout by Stargazer. Ryder pulls Stargazer to his feet, but Stargazer gains the advantage with a poke to the eye.

Josh Harter: And just like that this match is turned around.

Stargazer whips Ryder into the ropes, but Ryder clings on to stop his momentum. T-Money turns the corner on the outside apron and hits Ryder with a clothesline. Ryder turns around and T-Money tries to suplex him to the arena floor, but Ryder lands on the edge of the apron. Stargazer comes over and dropkicks T-Money off the apron. T-Money slams his head hard on the guardrail outside of the ring. Ryder springboards off the top rope back into the ring with a double axehandle smash, but Stargazer sidesteps it, then nails Ryder with a Falling Star that shakes the ring. He covers Ryder.

DING DING DING!

Michelle Madison: Here is your winner, and NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! STARRRRRRRGAZER!

The crowd cheers as Stargazer’s theme hits the speakers. The referee hands him the World Title which he clutches in his hands before holding above his head.

Josh Harter: YES!

Phil Brooks: Danny Vice worst nightmare seems to have come true. The EPW now has control of the World Title. And with the future of the GWC on the line next week at Tribulation, the major advantage seems to lean toward Nikki Venus. We’ll see you next week in Sydney, where the reign of Danny Vice may come to an end.

Josh Harter: YES!

The cameras begin to fade as the credits roll, zooming in on the World Title in the hands of Stargazer.

[Joe Ragnal/Chrysta]

Well...damn.
