In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. And the earth was without form, and Void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of god moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light.

And there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

This, is the true essecne of...........

GENESIS!

*The camera opens up with a shot of Madison Square Garden, the granddaddy of all venues. The place is packed with screaming fans as FBW and XwC come together for Triad Wrestling’s first ever Pay Per View Event, Genesis! Suddenly, XwC Hazard’s theme music begins to play, and XwC color commentator Matt Reznor comes out. He walks down the ramp and takes his position at the announce table.*

MATT REZNOR: “Welcome to Genesis, XwC fans and losers alike. I’m XwC’s uber announcer Matt Reznor, and I’m glad to be here without the Griff yapping in my ear. I wonder what FBW goon I’ll have to put up with tonight.”

*Bloodbath’s theme hits, and the fans begin to cheer. Supernova’s former manager and former AW reporter Tyler Robinson walks out and takes the spot next to Matt Reznor.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Hello, Matt, it’s good to be here.”

MATT REZNOR: “Tyler Robinson? Who’d you kick off the FBW announce team?”

TYLER ROBINSON: “I didn’t kick anybody off. From now on, FBW will have three people commentating during Bloodbath, and I’ll be filling that third spot.”

MATT REZNOR: “Damn. I was hoping Big Poppa would fire someone. I love it when inferior FBW workers get fired.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “I feel sorry for Bob Griffen already. Anyway, we have a great show lined up tonight. FBW and XwC are both in the house, and I can’t wait for tonight’s main event. Supernova and Rock Startling will be clashing in an hour long Ironman match to see who comes out the first Triad Legendary Champion!”

MATT REZNOR: “And we all know you’ll be rooting for your hoochie koochie man, Supernova.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, but you’re damn right I’ll be rooting for Supernova!”

MATT REZNOR: “Well root all you want. It isn’t going to help Supernova any because the title’s coming home to XwC with Rock Startling.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

MATT REZNOR: “Say, Tyler, I know that Brad Daddy and Josh Cantrell are squaring off for XwC’s Elite Title in a steel cage, but what the hell’s up with all that extra metallurgy suspended above the ring?”

*The camera zooms out to a wide shot of the arena. A normal cage hangs inside the first story of a larger cell with two different levels.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Wow, I have no clue. Do you think that double cell is for FBW or XwC?”

MATT REZNOR: “I haven’t heard anything about it, but it looks like we’re in for some mayhem!”

*’Second to None’ begins to play, and First Blood Wrestling’s CEO Big Poppa, dressed in a sport coat, steps out onto the stage. The fans give a rousing ovation for Poppa as he walks down to the ring. Poppa steps in, and he is given a microphone. Poppa first acknowledges Tyler Robinson before addressing the audience.*

BIG POPPA: “I have to say. It’s overwhelmingly warm in Madison Square Garden.”

MATT REZNOR: “What’s he talking about?”

*As the fans wonder this too, Big Poppa takes off his sport coat. He’s wearing an I Heart NY sweatshirt. The fans, upon seeing this, begin to cheer, and Poppa grins.*

MATT REZNOR: “God, someone please get me a barf bag.”

BIG POPPA: “That’s better! Now before we kick things off here at Genesis, there’s a few things I’d like to address. First and foremost, on behalf of FBW and XwC, I’d like to thank you all for coming. The next three things all have to do solely with FBW. I looked over the Genesis card, and I decided to make some slight modifications to it. Sorry, New York City, but I don’t think you’re going to like these.”

*The fans start to boo.*

BIG POPPA: “Yeah, I know. I know. So who likes the New York Jets?”

*The fans all begin to cheer.*

BIG POPPA: “That’s more like it. Now we’re going to kick things off tonight with Lance Laker and Steve Carr, and that’s shaping up to be a great match. Now earlier in the week, these two men requested that tables be legal in this match. At first I didn’t have a problem with that, but after some thinking, I changed my mind. I’m going to have to put the kibosh on the tables.”

*The fans boo. They want wood.*

BIG POPPA: “God, it’s still hot in here.”

*Big Poppa takes off his sweatshirt. Underneath it, there’s a Jeremy Shockey jersey. The fans all cheer again.*

BIG POPPA: “You like that? Watch this!”

*Big Poppa slides out of the ring and walks over to the announce table. He leaps over the table, catching an imaginary pass, and lands in Matt Reznor’s lap. Poppa then shakes his head, taunting Reznor like Shockey taunted the Miami Dolphins in last week’s playoff clinching win after Shockey’s touchdown catch. The fans start cheering and laughing. Tyler Robinson is laughing along.*

MATT REZNOR: “What are you doing? Get off me!”

*Big Poppa gets off of Reznor and slides back into the ring.*

BIG POPPA: “My second order of business deals with the FBW Silver Title. Tonight, Taurus was scheduled to defend his title against Titan in a first blood match.”

*Some of the fans cheer while the hardcore XwC fans boo. They don’t like Taurus or Titan after both jumped ship to FBW.*

BIG POPPA: “Now, I’m taking the first blood stipulation out of that match. That too will be a standard match, but it will still be for the FBW Silver Title.”

*The fans boo disappointedly.*

BIG POPPA: “I knew you wouldn’t like that either, and unfortunately, I don’t have any more shirts on under this one. You’re really going to hate what I have to say next. You see that double decker cage? It’s twenty eight foot high. The perimeter of that huge structure is larger than the ring. The ceiling of the bottom half of the cell rests sixteen feet from the ground, leaving the other twelve feet of space for the second story of the cell. After Brad Daddy takes on Josh Cantrell for the XwC Elite Title, the regular cage will be taken apart and taken to the back, making way for this twenty eight foot monster. We’ll lower this baby down for the FBW Gold Title match. The first fall will take place in the ring, where the first level of the cell will be surrounding the ring. Whoever gets pinned or submits will be eliminated from the match. The two remaining competitors will be let out of the cell and will be directed to climb up the outside to a special door leading to the second level of the cell. The door will then be locked by an official, and the remaining fall will take place on the second level. There will be no ring, just unforgiving steel above, below, and on all four sides. Whoever gets the pin in the Two Story Cell will get the win and the FBW Gold Title.”

*The fans now start cheering, forgetting about the other two matches that Big Poppa removed stipulations from.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “That’s amazing! I can’t believe the FBW Gold is going to be on the line in that Two Story Cell match!”

MATT REZNOR: “Well, at least one out of five FBW matches won’t blow.”

*Colin Cradduck, FBW ring announcer, steps into the ring, ready to announce the participants in the first ever Triad Pay Per View match.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “Hello, New York City, are you ready to make history tonight?”

*The fans cheer.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “The inaugural Triad Wrestling Pay Per View Match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Iowa City, Iowa, he is ‘Legendary’ Lance Laker.”

*’A Whole Lotta Corn’ begins to play, and Lance Laker comes out to a good ovation from the New York City fans. He slaps hands with some fans on his way to the ring.*

MATT REZNOR: “Moo!”

COLIN CRADDUCK: “His opponent, from Tampa Bay, Florida, is Steve Carr!”

*’The Ultimate’ begins to play, and Steve Carr walks out. The fans start to boo Steve, and the nearly seven foot tall Carr just stands on the stage and laughs to himself. Carr then walks down to the ring. He slides in, but Laker is on him right away with a series of stomps as the bell rings.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “I think both these competitors look a little disappointed that tables aren’t legal in this match. Last week on Bloodbath, Carr put Laker through the announce table, and I think Laker wants revenge.”

MATT REZNOR: “I’m disappointed too. I wanted to see carnage!”

*Steve Carr muscles his way to his feet, but Laker whips him off of the ropes. Carr comes back, and Laker nails him with a spinning shoulderblock. Carr and Laker both get up. Laker swings at Carr with a punch, but Steve Carr ducks and catches Lance with a Full Nelson Slam. Steve bounces off of the ropes and drops a high leg on Lance Laker. He shifts into a pin. One! Tw...Lance kicks out.*

MATT REZNOR: “Lance Laker not looking so legendary right now.”

*Steve Carr gets up. He pulls Laker up by the hair. Carr whips Laker into the turnbuckles. Carr charges, but Lance gets a foot up. The boot connects with Carr’s face, and Carr stumbles around, holding his forehead. Lance Laker pulls himself up to the second rope. He leaps off and knocks the big man to the ground with a missile dropkick. Lance goes for the cover. One! Steve Carr presses Lance Laker off of him. Laker gets to his feet, and Carr follows close behind. Laker charges at Carr with a clothesline, but Steve Carr blocks. He punches Laker, and Laker stumbles backwards. He punches Laker again, and Laker lands in the corner. Steve Carr walks over to Laker and begins burying shoulder thrusts into Lance’s stomach.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “You’ve got to believe that the three hundred pounds of force that Steve Carr is sending into Lance Laker’s breadbasket hurts.”

MATT REZNOR: “Speaking of hurts, this match hurts to watch. Wake me up when Brandy Davis comes out.”

*Steve relents, and Lance Laker stumbles right into a Northern Lights Suplex. Steve holds on for the pin. One! Two! Laker kicks out. Steve gets up from his bridge. He stomps hard on Lance Laker’s stomach before climbing up to the top rope. Carr faces out of the ring, but he looks back at Laker’s prone body.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “We saw this move last week! This is what Steve used to put Lance Laker through the announce table on Bloodbath.”

*Matt Reznor pretends to snore.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Matt!”

MATT REZNOR: “Wha? Where’s Brandy?”

*Steve Carr jumps backwards with the Ultimatum, a backwards falling senton splash, but Laker moves out of the way. Laker gets up and starts climbing the ropes as the referee checks on Steve Carr. Carr, however, grabs the referees arm and sends him into the ropes, knocking Lance Laker straight down on his groin. Carr slowly gets up. Instead of walking to Laker, Carr walks to the opposite turnbuckle. He begins untying the turnbuckle pad. The referee walks over and starts arguing with Carr. He tries to grab the turnbuckle covering from Carr, but Carr won’t let go of it. Lance Laker climbs down off of the top rope as Carr and the referee play tug of war with the pad. Laker charges at Carr and leaps up with a running body splash, but Carr pulls the referee into the way. Laker knocks the referee right into the exposed turnbuckle!*

MATT REZNOR: “That might keep him down for an hour in referee time.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “Referee time?”

MATT REZNOR: “Yeah, it’s a known fact that referees take many times the amount of time to recuperate from injury as normal people. This one ref stubbed his toe getting in the ring once and was out for six months.”

*Laker bounces backwards from the impact, and Steve Carr runs him over with a tremendous big boot. Carr then looks around the arena as if he has an idea. The fans see this and drop their hate for Steve. They start chanting for a table, and Steve goes outside of the ring. He grabs a table. Carr tries to slide it in the ring, but Lance springs up and baseball slides the table right back at Carr. Carr bounces back, and Laker leans the table up against the ring. Laker then grabs Carr and whips him into the steel ring steps. Carr crashes into the steps as Laker sets the table up. Laker walks towards Carr. He pulls him up and walks him over to the table. Laker rolls Carr onto the table.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “I guess nothing could stop these two from bringing tables into the equation.”

MATT REZNOR: “And that equation is that tables plus carnage equals super!”

TYLER ROBINSON: “My God, you’re even dorkier than I am.”

*Laker goes back to the steel ring steps. After a little bit of wrestling with the top steps, he detaches them and sets them up in front of the table. Laker steps back before jetting forward. He runs off of the steps and flips with a senton splash that sends both competitors crashing through the table.*

MATT REZNOR: “Bravo!”

*Both competitors stay down for a while, but Laker gets up well before Steve even starts to stir. Laker rolls Carr into the ring and groggily gets in himself. Laker goes for the pin, but the referee is still out.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “The referee is out, but Laker had this won! He’s got at least a five, six, seven count.”

MATT REZNOR: “That’s funny. I didn’t hear anyone counting.”

*Laker, frustrated, gets up. He walks over to the referee and begins shaking him. Carr, however, who has recovered, gets up and walks behind Laker. He sends a very hard boot right between Lance Laker’s legs. Laker hobbles around, and Steve Carr hits Lance Laker with the Ultimate Stunner! Laker goes down to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Carr sees the referee coming to.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Carr capitalizes, and he could have the win right here.”

*Carr looks at Laker and then at the referee, who is crawling towards Laker. Carr hits a leg drop on the back of the referee’s head! The referee goes down again, and Steve Carr goes to the outside. Carr pulls another table out from under the apron. He slides it in the ring. Carr then turns to the nearest camera and begins taunting it.*

STEVE CARR: “I ain’t leaving until Laker eats wood! Uh...figuratively.”

*Carr slides back into the ring. He sets the table up in the center and pulls Laker up. Steve Carr lifts Lance Laker up for a powerbomb, and he puts Laker right through the table with whiplash inducing force! The table splits in two, and Carr removes the table halves from the ring. He steps on Lance Laker with one foot for the cocky pin as the referee begins stirring. The referee, however, instead of counting, turns to the timekeeper and calls for the bell while holding the back of his neck.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “The winner of this match as a result of a disqualification is ‘Legendary’ Lance Laker!”

MATT REZNOR: “Lance Laker wins this thing in style!”

*Inside the ring, Steve Carr pulls the referee up and throws him over the top rope. Carr then pulls Lance Laker up and throws him through the top two ring ropes. Carr steps over the top rope and retrieves Lance Laker as Triad personnel runs towards the ring. Carr rolls Laker onto the announce table. He then climbs back up on the apron, but the Triad security intercepts him and blocks Carr from doing any further damage. One security member helps Lance Laker to his feet, and Lance immediately goes after Carr, but the Triad security stops him. They take the two men to the back separately.*

[The scene switches back to outside a locker room door. The name plate on the door reads "SuperNova". The camera pans back, and Nova is seen walking down the hallway, looking at the doors, apparenty looking for his locker room door, because he still is attired in his street clothes, and has his gym bag thrown over his right shoulder.]

Nova: Ah, here it is.

[Nova stares at his nameplate]

Nova: Dunno why I need my own locker room...I heard my farts are putrid, but this is just overkill

[Nova opens the door to the locker room, and the first thing he sees is an old rival. Chris Rickter sits in a chair facing the door.]

Nova: Funny...the name plate says SuperNova...of course, no one will ever realize that its just one word..."Supernova"...but even for a brainless shit stain like yourself, the idea should come across pretty clearly.

Rickter: Always the comdian, huh Nova? Sometimes, you really should think about being serious. Tonights a big night for you, your biggest. Even bigger than the night I took your North American Title away from you.

Nova: Yeah, that was a big night...now, Rickter, maybe it's all the Main Event craziness that FBW has been putting me through, but remind me...was that night as crazy as when your best friend made the three count for the match where Brian Richman took the title from you?

Rickter: Nova, I'm not gonna sit here and play the insult game with you again. I'll tell you this much, you need to focus. Rock Startling, the man you face tonight, he's ruthless, he's savage, and he'll rip your head off to get at that Legendary Title.

Nova: Rickter, I'm touched...you care! You really care! I tried to pick up on the signals, because I knew there was always that sexual chemistry between us, but I never knew...

[With that, Rickter stands up, and walks towards Nova. He extends his hand.]

Rickter: I've made my mistakes. I don't have the.... feelings that you have, but I will tell you this much.........

[Nova backs up, staring down at the extended hand.]

Nova: If this is your pathetic little way of trying to fuck with me before the biggest match of my career....

[Nova takes a deep breath.]

Nova: Don't think that I will ever forget the shit you've pulled, Rickter...you just about stripped Saph down while Big Poppa and I were forced to watch...you inadvertently killed Razor Blade's wife...

Rickter: The past is in the past. In case you haven't noticed, Razor isn't around, Sapphire isn't around, and Jake isn't around either. This is our time now. Nobody to hold us back, hold us down. Nobody to hold you down. There is gonna be a whole bunch of people looking for you if you win this title. Yeah, being the Legendary Champion means your the best, but it also paints a big red bullseye on your ass. All I am saying is....... watch your back.

[Rickter puts his hand down, and begns to walk out.]

Nova: Rickter...

[Rickter turns around.]

Nova: Where do you stand in Triad? You know what I mean...you haunt both feds' every step...

Rickter: I got my plans. An offer. I mean, it's not like Big Poppa would sign me even if I wanted to go to First Blood Wrestling. Theres gonna be a war tonight, Nova. Know when to keep your head down.

Nova: I NEVER keep my head down when friends of mine are in trouble...and neither do you. I get the feeling I'll be seeing you around.

Rickter: Your damn right.

[Rickter and Nova stare at each other for a moment, and then Rickter turns and walks out of the locker room.]

*Colin Cradduck is back in the ring, ready to call the next match.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. In one corner, from Brooklyn, New York, is Hellz Angel!”

*’The Child of Filth’ begins to play, and the arena’s lights go out. They turn back on, and Hellz Angel is outside the ring. The fans boo Hellz Angel even in his hometown. Hellz just gets up on the apron and slings himself over the top rope and into the ring.*

MATT REZNOR: “I guess Hellz Angel never made many friends here.”

COLIN CRADDUCK: “He will be facing, from Los Angeles, California, Psyko!”

*’One Step Ahead’ starts playing, and Psyko steps out as psychedelic patterns flash all over the place. Psyko starts hopping on one foot down the ramp. He stops at the bottom and starts doing what appears to be a rain dance of some sort.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Psyko is one weird guy.”

MATT REZNOR: “His entrance lights are making me sick and dizzy. I think I’m going to have a seizure.”

*Psyko slides into the ring, and the bell rings. Psyko calls for a test of strength, but Hellz Angel kicks him in the stomach. Psyko bends forward, and Hellz Angel scoops him up with a scoop slam. Angel calls for Psyko to get up. Psyko does, and he walks right into a clothesline from Hellz Angel. Angel starts stomping on Psyko, but Psyko rolls out of the ring.*

MATT REZNOR: “I think Psyko’s packing up his bags and going home.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “But he didn’t come out with bags in the first place.”

MATT REZNOR: “Shut up.”

*Hellz Angel runs off of the ropes and dives through at Psyko with a face first baseball slide, but Psyko moves out of the way, and Hellz Angel lands hard outside the ring. Psyko smashes his fists down on Angel’s back with a double axehandle. Psyko then pulls Hellz Angel up and whips him head first into the guard rail by his tights. Hellz Angel turns around dazed, and Psyko hits a spin kick that sends Hellz Angel over the guard rail. Security clears fans out of the way as the referee warns Psyko to get Hellz Angel back in the ring. Hellz Angel gets up, and Psyko pulls him over the guard rail. Psyko pulls Angel towards the apron and slams Angel’s head on the apron before rolling Hellz Angel under the bottom rope.*

MATT REZNOR: “I say we knock out all the referees and let ruleless chaos ensue!”

TYLER ROBINSON: “I say you go back to sleep until Brandy Davis gets out.”

*Psyko rolls in the ring before rolling right back out. He pulls Hellz Angel over to the ring post and wraps Angel’s legs around it. Psyko locks in a Bow and Arrow around the ring post!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “He calls that move the Death of the Rest!”

MATT REZNOR: “Well, the referee calls it illegal!”

*The referee begins counting to five, and Psyko lets go of the hold. Hellz falls onto the mat as Psyko gets up onto the apron. Psyko slings himself over the top rope with some sort of flipping maneuver, but Hellz Angel rolls out of the way, and Psyko just lands hard on his back. Hellz rolls under the bottom rope. He gets up on the apron. Psyko gets up and stumbles over towards Hellz Angel, but Hellz grabs Psyko’s head and sits down on the apron, hanging Psyko on the top rope. Psyko stumbles backwards, clutching onto his neck, and Hellz Angel climbs to the top rope. Angel jumps off and catches Psyko with a top rope jumping bulldog. Angel rolls Psyko over for the pin. One! Two! Thr...Psyko kicks out!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “I thought he had him there!”

*Hellz Angel gets up. He pulls Psyko to his feet, but staggers him with some chops. With Psyko dazed, Hellz Angel lifts him up and connects with a back breaker. Angel then pulls Psyko up again and attempts a clothesline. Psyko ducks it and hooks Angel’s arms, spinning him around into position for the Fanpleaser. Hellz Angel pushes Psyko though, and Psyko crashes into the turnbuckle. Psyko turns around, and he’s caught square in the jaw with a superkick. Hellz Angel goes for another pin. One! Two! Thr...another kick out by Psyko!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “That’s two near falls in a row right there by Hellz Angel!”

MATT REZNOR: “How about we just add up the two near falls and call the match?”

*Hellz Angel gets up and brings his thumb across his throat. He pulls Psyko up and sets up for a gutwrench powerbomb. Hellz Angel lifts, but Psyko slides over his shoulder. Hellz Angel turns around, and Psyko kicks him in the stomach. Psyko runs and springboards off of the second rope. He twists in mid air and flips over Hellz Angel with a springboard sunset flip. He gets Angel over, but before he can hook Angel for the pin, Hellz Angel somersaults backwards out of the move. He drops down and hits a low dropkick to Psyko’s face. Angel hooks Psyko up in a standing figure four leg lock, Bite the Pain! Psyko has nowhere to go. Psyko taps out.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “The winner of this bout by submission is Hellz Angel!”

*Hellz Angel leaves victoriously, and Psyko struggles to his feet inside the ring. He rolls out of the ring and begins limping away, holding his knee. With Hellz Angel already in the back, suddenly the sounds of a storm begin to hit the arena. A deep voice hits over the PA as familiar video footage plays on the screen.*

VOICE: “After waiting two weeks, it’s here. The Anarchy has arrived!”

*Psyko’s attention is quickly diverted away from the screen as the man on the screen appears, holding a Singapore cane. It’s ‘Ironman’ Sid Jackson!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “I think that Sid Jackson is now active in FBW!”

MATT REZNOR: “Damn! He was one of my favorites in AW!”

*Ironman rushes Psyko and knocks him flat on the ramp with a cane shot to the head. Jackson then starts unleashing some brutal cane shots to Psyko’s ailing knee.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Sid means business!”

[As the security helps Psyko from the ring, “Horrible” by Jack Off Jill plays over the sound system, as Angel Dawson walks down to the ring.]

REZ: Well, this is a surprise! And I LOVE surprises!

TYLER: Yes, Angel it surprisingly…

REZ: Spit it out!!

ANGEL: I have one thing that’s bothering me!

REZ: No wait, don’t she’s go the mic!

Angel: For weeks now, as many of you know, I have been trying so hard to get a message to Teemu McCorde. I’m not ashamed to admit that! I’ve asked his and asked him, and I get, a pickle and a floor buffer!? A sausage on a stick I was supposed to tongue bathe!? A dolphin I was supposed to flog!? And even a pair of raccoons that I was supposed to sex on fire…

REZ:I don’t remember that one…

ANGEL: Now, I’m going to make sure the world knows what I really want. And I’m going to say it loud and clear!!

TYLER: Censors, get ready!

ANGEL: Teemu Stauch McCorde. I want to suck your c**k!!!!

[With the fans whoa reaction, and their loud cheering. Rez is speechless for maybe the first time in his life. “Fine Again” by Seether blares over the loud system, fans rise out of their seats and some even fall over and come crashing down rows of benches because of their love for Teemu. There is even a grandma in the audience that flashes a camera and it shows “I LOVE TEEMU” across her droopy breasts. He walks to the ring with his bag of ring attire. Carefully setting down the bag in the corner and rolls in the ring.]

TEEMU: Hey peoples!!

[Crowd roars, one person even explodes from the vibration of sound waves coming from the opposite wall.]

TEEMU: You want to suck my c**k!? Why didn’t you just say that in the first place!!!!???! I’d love for you to suck my c**k! In fact, I think I want you to suck it, RIGHT NOW!!

[More and more screaming, one fan jumps the barricade and has to be taken back stage where they can arrest him.]

TEEMU: But, if I am going to do this. I think I should take off these pants, I don’t want them to get all cruddy!

[Teemu drops his pants, all of the girls holler for such joy, they actually lactate on their new Teemu McCorde shirts.]

TEEMU: There! Much better! Now, how many of you want to see some c**k sucking!??!?!?!

[YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

TEEMU: Alright… Angel, get down on your knees, and close your eyes!!

[She does, as Teemu reached into his bag and grabs a fluttering chicken, the crowd busts up in hilarious laughter, one guy even chokes from the lack of air. Angel opens her eyes and notices the big thawping cock in her face, and smacks it aside. Teemu stands there with a shocked look in his face, but that look turns sour when he is met my a swift kick to the jungle berries.]

REZ: OUCH!! That has to ruin his night!

TYLER: Oh, I think not! Teemu has a XWC heavyweight title shot

REZ: He better put some ice, or meat, or icy hot, or lips on there or something to make it all better!

TYLER: True dat!

*All eight competitors are already in the ring, huddled in two groups of four in opposite corners. In the FBW corner, Havok seems to be taking charge while the now reformed Brent McCorde leads in the opposite corner.*

MATT REZNOR: “What’s going on here? There aren’t supposed to be any teams.”

*The bell rings, and the two huddles break. They form to face each other in two lines. Havok stands across from Brent McCorde, Ego stands across from Zachary Diamond, Hell’s Guardian stands across from Chris Blaze, and The Chosen One Chris Masters stands across from Mr. Slik. All eight men charge into each other, and the battle begins.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “This is going to be completely crazy.”

*Havok and McCorde trade punches while Ego powers Zachary Diamond into one of the corners. Guardian tangles with Chris Blaze as Chris Masters promptly eliminates Mr. Slik with a belly to belly suplex that sends Slik over the top rope and to the outside.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Well, I guess we can say hello and goodbye to Mr. Slik!”

MATT REZNOR: “That was so funny I almost shat myself, Tyler.”

*Masters moves to help Guardian as McCorde and Havok exchange a series of holds, putting on quite a technical showing. Brent McCorde capitalizes first with a headlock, but Havok elbows his way out before slipping McCorde into a sleeper hold. McCorde backs Havok into a turnbuckle before turning around and attempting a clothesline. Havok ducks and catches McCorde’s arm, hooking him in a hammerlock, but McCorde slips behind Havok, switching into a Hammerlock of his own. Havok ducks down and reaches in between his legs, grabbing McCorde’s leg in the process and sweeping him down. McCorde gets back up, and the two just stare at each other as the crowd cheers.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “This new serious Brent McCorde is a big improvement in my opinion.”

*Ego refrains from attacking Diamond in the corner to run at McCorde and Havok. He knocks both of them into the ropes with a double forearm smash. McCorde and Havok bounce back. Ego drops McCorde with a big kick, and McCorde tries to punch Ego, but Ego blocks and headbutts him. Ego turns around, and Zach Diamond nails him with a standing sidekick.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “It looks like the threads of alliance are starting to unravel, at least for XwC.”

MATT REZNOR: “I’m sure that headbutt was an accident.”

*Meanwhile, Chris Masters and Hell’s Guardian are having their way with Chris Blaze. They double whip him off of the ropes and catch Blaze with a double hip toss. Hell’s Guardian leaps on Blaze with a huge splash as Masters cheers Hell’s Guardian on. Guardian pulls Blaze up and tosses him towards Chris Masters. Masters drops Blaze with the Stroke of a Genius. Masters then pulls Chris Blaze up and tosses him back to Hell’s Guardian. Masters directs Guardian to discard Blaze from the ring. Guardian shoulders Chris Blaze and walks towards the edge of the ropes. Masters, however, hits Guardian with a dropkick to the back, and Guardian drops Blaze over the top rope. Blaze holds on to the bottom rope, landing on the apron. Guardian then tumbles over the top rope, becoming eliminated from the match up.*

MATT REZNOR: “Ha! Masters stabs his own coworker in the back with a dropkick. There’s no continuity or camaraderie in FBW whatsoever.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “There aren’t any teams in this match though. You said it yourself.”

MATT REZNOR: “You must’ve misheard me.”

*Blaze gets up on the apron, but he’s knocked off the apron and eliminated as Chris Masters hits him with a spinning heel kick.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Chris Masters is on a roll!”

*Zachary Diamond is now on top of Ego. He’s hammering Ego with punches. Diamond pulls Ego up and slams his head down on the nearest turnbuckle. Havok gets up and comes over to help Diamond as Masters and Brent McCorde start fighting. Diamond and Havok lift Ego up and put him on the top turnbuckle. Both men climb the adjacent ropes and hook Ego up. They fall back, dropping Ego with a double super belly to back suplex! Diamond gets up and pulls Ego up with him. He holds Ego in place as Havok gets onto the apron. Havok springboards off of the top rope and leaps off towards Ego with a springboard spear. Ego moves, however, and Havok spears Zach Diamond instead. Havok gets up, and he turns right into Ego who slams Havok down with a double hand chokeslam. Ego lifts Diamond up and tosses him over the top rope.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Zach Diamond is eliminated, and what the hell?”

*FBW’s Maddison Oz Reighn is running down the ramp with a chair. Before Diamond can get up, Maddison blasts him one in the back with the chair. Reighn then scoops Diamond up and climbs with him onto the apron. Maddison falls back and belly to belly suplexes Zach Diamond off of the apron and onto the ramp. Can you hear them?*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Why the hell is Maddison attacking Zach Diamond?”

MATT REZNOR: “Why? I’ll tell you why. It’s because Maddison Oz Reighn is freaking nuts!”

*Reighn gets up, and he starts prodding Zach Diamond with the chair, checking for any signs of movement. Emergency Medical Technicians rush to the scene and convince Maddison to leave before helping Diamond off.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Maddison might’ve seriously injured Zach Diamond for seemingly no reason. That Can You Hear Them? was brutal! Did you see how Diamond landed?”

MATT REZNOR: “Yeah, and it didn’t look too comfortable.”

*Inside the ring, Ego and Brent McCorde go to work on Chris Masters. Havok gets up, however, and he climbs out to the apron again. Havok springboards with the Pure Havok, and he reaches both arms out connecting on both Chris Masters and Ego. Havok bounces up, but he bounces right into a boot to the gut from Brent McCorde. McCorde drills Havok with a powerbomb, holds on for another, and finally powerbombs Havok over the top rope. Havok bounces off of the apron and falls outside.*

MATT REZNOR: “Tequila Shot!”

*Brent McCorde peels Chris Masters up off of the apron. McCorde tries to power Masters over the top rope, but Masters resists. Masters holds onto the top rope for dear life as Ego starts to get up. Ego tries to help McCorde push Masters over the edge, but Masters won’t budge. Ego gets kicked in the stomach by McCorde. Brent whips Ego off of the opposite ropes, and Masters slides back into the ring. Brent charges Ego with a clothesline, but Ego ducks. Masters pulls the rope down, and Ego falls over the top rope. He holds on, however, and dangles for a bit before pulling himself to the apron. Masters, who thinks Ego was eliminated gets up and charges after Brent McCorde with a clothesline. McCorde ducks, and he catches Masters on the return with a tilt-a-whirl slam. McCorde gets up and turns right into a chokeslam from Ego, who made his way back into the action. Ego brushes McCorde aside and waits for Masters to get up. Masters gets up, and he walks right into a boot to the stomach from Ego followed by Ego’s trademark Judgement Day maneuver! Ego pulls Masters’ limp body back up and easily discards it over the top rope.*

MATT REZNOR: “We’re guaranteed an XwC winner! I like this!”

*Ego pulls McCorde up, but McCorde cuts Ego off with some jabs to the stomach. McCorde gets fired up and starts drilling Ego into the corner. McCorde charges after Ego, but Ego gets a boot up. He hits McCorde in the face, and McCorde goes down. McCorde gets back up, and Ego scoops him up on his shoulder. McCorde slides behind Ego. Ego turns around, but Brent rocks him with a sidewalk slam. McCorde pulls Ego up and lifts him up in a front facelock. Brent places Ego up on the top rope. Brent McCorde then begins slapping at Ego with some punches in an attempt to knock Ego off of the top turnbuckle. Ego tries to fire back, but McCorde blocks and sends an uppercut to Ego’s jaw. Ego slips and one of his feet lands on the apron with the other leg draped over the top turnbuckle.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “That doesn’t look like it feels too good.”

*McCorde hits Ego’s exposed leg with an elbow drop, and Ego pulls it off of the top rope and begins teetering on one leg on the apron. McCorde rocks Ego with a couple of punches before running off of the ropes. McCorde comes back, but Ego catches him around the throat with both hands. Ego pulls McCorde over the top rope and throws him outside the ring! Ego is the last man remaining!*

GILLIAN WHITE: “The winner of this contest is Ego!”

*The camera focuses on James ‘Mijo’ Blade. He’s in his locker room stretching, and his door is open a tiny crack.*

JAMES BLADE: “Alright, this is my chance tonight. I can’t blow this. I won’t blow this! It’s my time!”

*The camera moves back a bit to reveal a giant shadow on the wall outside Mijo’s door. A deep voice is heard chuckling.*

REZ: Hey, Tyler. You know whats next?

TYLER: Whats that?

REZ: A girl who was nearly naked on Hazard last week.

TYLER: So I hear. Phoniex will go to any end to get ratings.

REZ: It works.

GILLIAN: First, Making her way to the ring, from San Bernidino, California. ANGEL DAWSON!

[Horrible by Jack Off Jill begins to play, and Angel Dawson appears on the stage. Angel looks frazzled, her hair is a mess, as she makes her way down the the ring, and slides into the ring.]

TYLER: Angel looks like she hasn't had any sleep.

REZ: Could you sleep if you had a guy like Apollyon behind you?

TYLER: Good point.

GILLIAN: And, from parts Unknown, APOLLYON THE DESTROYER!

[Bloodline by Slayer hits, and the lights in the arena go out. Red pyro goes off on the stage, and Apollyon comes out right after, almost walking right through the fire. he walks camly down the ramp, and stands at ringside. Sudden;y, Angel comes flying over the top rope, and lands a cross body on Apollyon, sending them both crashing to the floor. Angel quickly mounts Apollyon, and begins pounding away at his head. Apollyon grabs her under her arms, and tosses her off of him, and stands up quickly. Angel is back up almost as quick, and nails him with a right hand to the face. Apollyon grabs her head, and slams his knee into her stomach, and then rolls her into the ring. He follows in, and refferee Eddie Greer calls for the opening bell.]

TYLER: I don't think Angel wanted to wait.

REZ: She's been looking over her shoulder now for weeks. I think she wants to put Apollyon out of buisness.

[Angel gets to her feet, and walks into a big boot from Apollyon. Apollyon begins stomping at her stomach, and then pulls her to her feet. Apollyon whips Angel hard into the turnbuckle, and goes fo follow in with a clothesline, but Angel gets her feet up, and Apollyon hits face first. Angel quickly grabs his head, and hops onto the second turnbuckle, and leaps off, delevering a nice Tornado DDT. Angle goes for a cover. One, Two, ThNO! Apollyon just gets the shoulder up.]

TYLER: Angel looking for a quick pin.

REZ: Apollyon is indestructable.

[Angel pulls Apollyon to his feet, and kicks him in the gut. She grabs his head, and runs at the ropes, looking for a spring board BullDog, but Apollyon pushes her off, and she crashes to the mat back first. Angel sits up, and Apollyon kicks her in the small of her back. Angel rolls around in pain, and Apollyon gets a smile across his face.]

TYLER: He's enjoying her being in pain!

REZ: Thats his deal I guess.

[Apollyon grabs Angel by her hair, and pulls her to her feet. Apollyon scoops her up, and slams her back down for a Power Slam. Apollyon backs into the ropes, and delivers a Leg Drop across her neck. Apollyon goes for a cover. One, Two, ThNO! Angel kicks out.]

REZ: Angels a tough chick!

TYLER: Better be careful. She'll beat you down for calling her a chick.

[Apollyon pulls Angel to her feet and whips her to the corner. Apollyon follows in with a stiff clothesline, and Angel crumples to the mat. Apollyon pulls her up by her hair, and spins her around. He locks in the Desecration of Christ (Cobra Clutch into a Cobra Clutch Slam), but as he is holding her there, Apollyon runs his tounge up the side of her neck, and to her ear. Apollyon goes to lift her for the slam, but Angel wiggles out of it, and falls to the mat. She quickly Chop Blocks him in the back of the knee, and Apollyon falls to the mat. She gets up quickly, and locks in the Fallen Angel (Modified Indian Death Lock).]

TYLER: This is it! He's in the middle of the ring, he can't get out!

[As Angel yanks back on Apollyon's head, the ref looks up at Apollyon's face, and sees a broad smile across his face. Angel pulls back harder, but Apollyon will not tap out. Angel finally lets go of the hold, and Apollyon falls to the mat. Angel gets up, and pulls Apollyon to his feet. She walks him to the corner, and climbs to the top rope. Angel leaps off, and delivers a Death From Above(Super DDT). Angel rolls across Apollyon for a cover. One, Two, ThrNO! Apollyon gets his shoulder up.]

TYLER: What does Angel have to do to keep this guy down!

REZ: She can't!

[Angel gets a look fo frustration on her face, and rolls out of the ring. Angel grabs the timekeeper, and throws him from his chair. Angel grabs the chair, and slides into the ring. Apollyon is to his knees, and looks up at Angel, who is holding the chair high above her head, almost waiting. Apollyon gets a smile across his face as the ref tries to warn Angel against hitting him Angel pay no attention, and brings the chair down hard across the face of Apollyon. The ref calls for the bell.]

GILLIAN: Your winner, as a result of a Disqualification, Apollyon!

TYLER: I think Angel had enough of his crap!

[Angel raises the chair again, and Apollyon smiles at her yet again. He lifts his hand, and tells her to Bring It On, and Angel brings the chair down across the top of his head. Apollyon falls to the mat, and Angel goes wild with the chair, hitting him across the head over, and over, and over again. Apollyon's face is a bloody mess, and he crawls over to the corner, proping himself up against the bottom turnbuckle. Angle looks down at the chair, and then over at Apollyon, and finally drops the chair. She steps through the ropes, and drops to the mat. As she is walking up the ramp, Apollyon pulls himself up with the ropes. A ref tries to help him up, but Apollyon pushes him away with enough force to send him to the mat. Apollyon stares at Angel, and Angel turns to look at him as she backs up the ramp.]

REZ: Jesus H. Christ! Angel went nuts!

TYLER: Push someone to their limits, and then over the edge and thats what you get!

[The scene switches over to James Neal, XwC reporter for Triad. He is standing outside a locker room door with a new name plate on the front that reads "Supernova". The camera pans over, and Nova is standing next to him.]

JAMES: Folks, I am here with you tonight, happy to report for Triad! And, I'm happy to be able to speak to none other than one of the men in the main event, Supernova! Now, Nova. You are heading into one of the biggest, if not the biggest matches in your professional career. How do you get into the mindset for something like that?

NOVA: Honestly, Nealy...and I'm having a hard time trying to find the right words for this...you can't just...I wasn't in the mindset all week, because although I knew how big the match would be, it seemed like so distant...like a senior in high school trying to fathom going off to college...until it happens, you don't know what to think; it's when you're lacing up the boots in the locker room by yourself, and when you make that long walk to the curtain...that's when you realize that whether you're ready or not, the match is here, and you've gotta go out there and do it...kind of like war, not that I would know personally...but that comparison exists on many levels. Rock and I are going to war out there.

JAMES: Your facing Rock Startling. Many people have claimed he is one of the innovators of the sport today. This man took on Razor Blade, and won. Many people favor you, but alot say that if he could beat Razor, he could beat you. How does it feel to be put on the same level as Razor, the man some people say led Nova to where he is today?

NOVA: Let me enlighten you a little here, Nealy. Defeats are funny things...they can inflate or deflate your ego really quick...I try not to let the little checks in the 'W' column get to my head, but I know firsthand that defeats can fuck with your head...I know you're wondering what I'm getting at here, and what I'm getting at is this: it just isn't so black and white...it doesn't work out to [Razor > Nova, Rock > Razor, Rock > Nova]...just because Rock beat Razor doesn't forever make him superior to Razor...and that goes for anybody, although being on the losing end almost as many times as the winning end, I can tell you that it feels that black and white sometimes...as for being put on the same level as Razor Blade...as for the status and respect given to Razor Blade, I'm not there...not by a long shot...but in terms of the show I put on, and what I can do as a package, in terms of charisma, work-ethic, and in-ring product, I AM on Razor's level...and I'm not being conceited when I say that...and I'm not alone...there are hordes of young athletes out there with the talent that the top names of wrestling possess...and many of them right here in Triad...as for Razor leading me to where I am today...he helped pave the way, but he didn't bust his ass for me...I took the beatings myself to get here

JAMES: You have certainly attained a huge following in the short time you've been around. You are considered one of the premire young athletes around. Another one of those would be Chris Rickter. Now, we saw that he paid you a visit earlier. Your comments on that?

NOVA: Don't know what's up with Big Rickter...wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him, and to give you a little hint on that one, Nealy, I can't throw him very far.

JAMES: Any last words you have for Rock Startling?

NOVA: My head is in this...I've waited three years for this...God himself coming down out of the heavens and pulling some kneepads over his pasty-ass thighs could not stop me now...and no matter how much convincing you try to do with those stupid pun-filled jokes you attempt to toss at the nauseated public, you are NOT God.

JAMES: Thank you very much Nova, and good luck tonight.

TYLER: What a nice guy.

REZ: Please, the man makes me want to vomit.

TYLER: Aww, c'mon. You can't hate Nova, nobody can.

REZ: I can. but, anyways. Here we go folks, the XwC Extreme Title is hanging high above the ring.

TYLER: And here comes Suisidal B carrying a ladder.

(Suisidal B comes running towards the ring with a ladder and Autumn's not far behind him and she catches up and drop kicks him in the back as he was running down the aisle.)

TYLER: This match is already underway. What about the introductions?

REZ: These are XwC stars Tyler, everybody already knows who WE are.

(Autumn kicks B repeatedly in the stomach as he tries to stand. She pulls him to his feet and draps him over the guard rail, takes a few steps back and jumps into the air dropping a leg across the back of his head. She then picks the ladder up as Suisidal pulls himself up with the assistance of the guard rail. She kicks him in the face for good measure before placing the ladder between his legs. She then grabs the end of the ladder and pulls it up quickly driving it right into the crotch of Suisidal B.)

REZ: Whew, that's gotta be hard on the old sac.

TYLER: Doesn't this guy normally smile at his own pain?

REZ: Normally, but a shot to the nuts isn't normal pain Tyler, but you wouldn't know.

(B rolls around on the ground as Autumn grabs the ladder and runs towards the ring. She quickly tosses the ladder in and the rolls in herself. She sets the ladder up in the center of the ring and begins to climb it. Suisidal B sees this and quickly gets to his feet and begins towards the ring as she's about half way up. She makes it to the top but is still having trouble reaching the title as B is now up on the ring apron. He grabs the top rope and springboards up onto it and does a front somersault sending himself crashing into the ladder and Autumn and the ladder fall in slow motion with Autumn landing outside the ring right in front of the announce table just coming inches from going through it.)

TYLER: That was so close.

REZ: It's about to get closer, watch out Tyler...

(Rez shoves Tyler out of his chair as both men go crashing to the floor at the site of Suisidal B flying towards them. B lands on the announce table but it doesn't break. Autumn pulls herself up from the floor and begins to slam B's head into the table.)

REZ: We're not Spanish you got the wrong table.

(As if Autumn and Suisidal B were listening they brawl over to the Spanish announce table. Autumn grabs a chair from ringside and places it between Suisidal's legs and hits the Freefall. She then places B on the Spanish announce table. Autumn climbs back into the ring and sets the ladder up next the ropes and climbs to the top.)

TYLER: I can't watch.

REZ: Puss!

(Autumn looks out at the crowd and flash bulbs go off as she leaps off into a 450 splash putting herself and Suisidal B through the Spanish announce table. Suisidal B lies in a pile of broken wood, metal and glass covered in blood... with a smile on his face as Autumn slowly makes it to her feet and climbs back into the ring and moves the ladder to the center ot the ring. She climbs very slowly to the top and retrieves her Extreme title as the bell sounds.)

REZ: Ole' Ole' Ole' Autumn retains!!!

*Big Poppa is walking down a hallway backstage in Madison Square Garden when he passes Josh Cantrell. Poppa stops and puts a hand on Cantrell's shoulder. Cantrell turns to face Big Poppa.*

BIG POPPA: "Hey, you're Josh Cantrell. Keeton's brother right?"

JOSH CANTRELL: "Yeah... and you're another one of the many who made my life hell by losing to him.."

BIG POPPA: "Ah, I see you're a youngster, so maybe you didn't catch the first to matches where I treated Keeton's ass! Eh? Eh?"

*Poppa nudges Cantrell playfully with his elbow. Josh, not amused, just frowns*

JOSH CANTRELL: "He won the one that counted, and I had to sleep in the garage that night because I was afraid to go in the house. Now did you need something from me?"

BIG POPPA: "Lighten up, boy. I just wanted to tell you that I like your chances in your match tonight. I've been down with the Daddy for a while, but it looks like you can give him a run for his money, and his Elite Title."

JOSH CANTRELL: "I'll give him more than a run, and if you ever call me BOY again you'd better run just as fast as you possibly can. You're a legend, I respect that, but certain things set me off and that's one of them. No offense though, just for 'future' reference."

BIG POPPA: "None taken. By the way, I like the new do."

*Ruffles Cantrell's stylish haircut.*

BIG POPPA: "Good luck out there tonight, slugger."

*As Cantrell walks away, Big Poppa gives him a friendly pat on the ass...like they do in baseball. Poppa walks away without thinking a thing of it, and Cantrell looks disgusted...almost as if another man just touched his ass.*

*Colin Cradduck is in the ring holding a microphone.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats in preparation to watch FBW’s first title match at Genesis. The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the First Blood Wrestling Bronze Title! Coming to the ring first, the challenger from the dark side, is the Dark Lotus!”

*’Out of the Dark’ rings from the speakers, and smoke starts to raise near the entrance. The Dark Lotus walks through it to a lackluster but negative reaction.*

MATT REZNOR: “Ooh! He’s from the dark side. Creepy deepy!”

TYLER ROBINSON: “Shut up, Rez.”

COLIN CRADDUCK: “And the champion, from Oley, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 266 pounds, he is Rick Mad!”

*’Get Mad’ starts to play, and Rick Mad, the red haired Bronze Champion walks out carrying the FBW Bronze Title. He holds it up and taunts the crowd as he walks down to the ring. The referee takes the belt from Mad, and the match begins.*

MATT REZNOR: “I’m looking at this info sheet on these guys, and the Dark Lotus looks like one tough customer. With such wickedly cool moves like the Headache and the Killer, I smell a new champion. I think Rick Mad’s going to fall victim to the Weakest Link! Goodbye!”

TYLER ROBINSON: “Sitting next to you makes me sad.”

*Rick Mad and The Dark Lotus lock up, and the Lotus comes up with an early advantage, twisting Rick Mad’s arm into an arm wrench. Rick Mad pulls Lotus in and kicks him in the stomach, but the Dark Lotus catches Rick Mad’s leg. Lotus spins Rick Mad around and runs him over with a clothesline while still keeping hold of Mad’s leg. Lotus grapevines Rick Mad’s leg from a standing position. Mad fights his way out by sending some boots to the Dark Lotus. The Lotus backs up, and Rick Mad gets to his feet. The Lotus tries to knock Rick Mad back down with a clothesline, but Rick Mad ducks and runs to the turnbuckles. Mad climbs up and leaps off the second rope with a spinning back elbow.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Nice elbow there by Rick Mad.”

MATT REZNOR: “Is he wonderfully, devilishly, lugubriously mad or just ticked off?”

TYLER ROBINSON: “Lugubriously? Did you make that up?”

*Mad gets up and pulls The Dark Lotus to his feet. Mad sends some punches to the Lotus before trying to whip the Lotus off the ropes. Dark Lotus reverses, and he sends Rick Mad careening off of the ropes. Mad bounces back, and the Dark Lotus attempts to hit him with the Killer, but Rick Mad ducks under the Dark Lotus’ big boot. Mad bounces off of the opposite ropes, but he is met upon return with a kick to the gut and the Headache DDT. Lotus goes for the cover. One! Two! Rick Mad kicks out.*

MATT REZNOR: “Jarring maneuver by the Dark Lotus. I’m surprised Rick Mad isn’t paralyzed!”

TYLER ROBINSON: “Was Jayson Phoniex that desperate for a color commentator?”

*The Dark Lotus gets up and pulls Rick Mad up as well. Lotus lifts Mad up and drops him with a scoop slam. The Dark Lotus backs up a few steps before trying to deliver an elbow drop. Rick Mad moves, and the Dark Lotus gets up holding his elbow. Rick Mad runs through him with a kitchen sink. Lotus gets up, and Mad catches him with a boot to the stomach. Rick Mad lifts the Dark Lotus up and slams him down with the Madplex! Rick holds on for the pin. One! Two! Thr...The Dark Lotus gets a shoulder up.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Rick Mad almost had him there.”

*Rick gets up and he pulls the Dark Lotus up with him. Mad whips the Dark Lotus across the ring to the turnbuckles. The Dark Lotus bounces back, and Rick Mad flips him overhead with a back body drop. The Dark Lotus gets up again, and Rick Mad attempts a clothesline. Dark Lotus ducks, but Mad swings his elbow back and hits Dark Lotus in the back of the neck. Mad turns around and locks his arms around the Dark Lotus’ waist. Mad falls back with a German Suplex. He hangs on for the pin. One! Two! Thr...The Dark Lotus kicks out.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Great ring presence by Rick Mad.”

MATT REZNOR: “Thank goodness. We’re almost at Brandy Davis’ match.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “You have a one track mind.”

*The Dark Lotus gets up, and Rick Mad hammers him into the corner. Mad whips the Dark Lotus across the ring and charges after him. Dark Lotus gets a back elbow in on Mad. The Dark Lotus turns around and drills Rick Mad with a spear. Mad gets up and the Lotus kicks him in the stomach. Mad catches the kick, however, and hits a dragon screw leg whip. Lotus gets back up and Mad kicks him in the stomach. Mad runs off of the ropes, passes the Dark Lotus, and bounces off of the opposite ropes.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “It’s coming!”

MATT REZNOR: “Yes! Brandy Davis is coming!”

TYLER ROBINSON: “No, Matt! It’s the Mad DDT!”

*Rick Mad returns with a jumping flowing DDT on the Dark Lotus. Mad goes for the cover. One! Two! Three!*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “Here is your winner and still the FBW Bronze Champion, Rick Mad!”

[Backstage in the arena is where we find the contender for tonight's XwC Heavyweight Championship match, none other than Romeo Martini himself. Romeo paces back and forth in the hallway, wearing a silky black and gold fighter robe and shadow boxing as he gears up for his big match. His half sister, Garcelle, is sitting against the wall on a box, her legs crossed as she idly reads a Cosmo magazine. Romeo is soon distracted when XwC lead reporter, Melissa Dera, approaches him.]

Melissa: Romeo Martini! Romeo Martini! May I have a word with you about...

Romeo: Ha! Now this is what I like to see; a woman who knows her place in the wrestling world and stays out of the ring. What's your name, sweetheart?

Melissa: Romeo Martini, my name is Melissa Dera and I'm...

Romeo: Melissa! Let me tell you what I can do for you Melissa now you see, I own a lot of classy strip clubs back home in Atlantic City and what I see for you is this, now take this journey with me will you? We change your name to Bambi and we kick it up a notch, with a body like that I can make you a star on the center stage in no time, you following me?

[Melissa's draw drops in disgust, as she stands somewhat speechless, Romeo Martini just lets out a sly smirk.]

Romeo: You wanted to know about the World Heavyweight Title, right? Well, my thoughts on the subject are no different from the top player in the game to the lowest curtain jerker in that it all brings us together within the one goal that it is the most important pinnacle in our careers. The difference between me and everyone else is, though that tonight I will be walking out of this building with it around my waist. I don't care who is in this match tonight, because when you've played this game as long as I have you learn that just about everybody is the same and everybody falls at the power of my sophisticated assault. A street fight? Please, I fought on the streets for fun when my opponents were still in kindergarten. I thought I was on a level far above the childish and primitive street fight, but if I must lower myself than so it will be - blood will be shed all the same. Do you want to know why they call me the Sicilian Shark, sweetie? It's because when I smell blood I move in for the kill! I clamp onto your pathetic body with a grip that cannot be denied and I do not let go until you are a heap of a man before me! Do you want to know what the best part about that is? I do it all, with a touch of class.

[Romeo blows in his fist and flings imaginary dice. Nodding for Garcelle to follow him, the two make their leave of the reporter and continue on their way to prepare for the upcoming match.]

TYLER: What is that guys problem?

REZ: He dosen't have a problem. He's my hero!

["Revolution" plays over the loud speakers of Madison Square Gardens as Brandy Davis comes out to an enthusiastic applause from the audience. She winks at a group of men who are practically drooling, as she starts down the long aisle.]

GILLIAN WHITE: Now, making her way to the ring, from Charleston South Carolina, standing at 5'8" weighing in at 140 pounds, the beautiful Brandy Davis!

[The crowd once again falls into cheers, this time mostly the male population. Brandy hops over the top rope and awaits her opponent inside the ring.]

TYLER: All I can say is, wow!

REZ: All I can say is get this circus over with.

["Parabola" by Tool hits the speakers and Eric appears out from under the curtain with a sadistic look on his face. His facial expressions stay the same as the audience boos the hell out of him.]

GILLIAN WHITE: And her opponent from Palto Alto, California, standing at 6'3" weighing in at 227 pounds, "The Awakening" Eric Reyonlds!

[Eric slyly walks down to the ring and slides in. He stares Brandy up and down for a minute and she stares coldly back. She jumps on him and hits him with the elbow to the face. He falls to the ground and she jumps on top of him and begins punching him in the face numerous times. Brandy gets off and allows Eric to get back to his feet. He grabs Brandy's head and implants her with the ddt. He slides over for an early pin. One, two- Brandy quickly kicks out.]

TYLER: Well this match has kicked off to an excellent start!

REZ: Yeah, excellent.

TYLER: Oh have some Genesis spirit!

[Brandy and Eric are both back to their feet. They get into a tight grapple. Brandy slides out and kicks Eric in the gut. He slouches in pain and she jumps up with a spinning heal kick. Eric falls to the mat. Brandy's about to go for a pin but she changes her mind and goes to the corner turnbuckle. She climbs up to the top rope and jumps backwards turning into a perfect 360 degree turn landing with a hard corskscrew moonsault on Eric. She lies motionless next to Eric for a moment, then slides over for the pin. The referee jumps down for a count. One, two, thr- Eric barely kicks out! Brandy smacks the mat a couple times in frustration.]

REZ: She looks mad.

TYLER: Wouldn't YOU be mad if you put your body on the line like that and still didn't get the pin!

REZ: Maybe if I had a body like THAT.

[Brandy is now back to her feet. She grabs Eric's limp hand and picks him back to his feet. She bounces off the ropes attempting a clothesline, but he hits her first. She falls to the mat with a thud. Eric gives her a few kicks to the stomach and pulls her up to her feet. He picks her up into a tight bear hug and she screams in pain. He drops her to the ground and continues with kicks to the gut again. He picks her back up to her feet and flips her over with an olympic slam. He's still not done. He gets back up and falls with an elbow drop right into a pin. One, two, th- Brandy nearly gets her shoulder up. Eric gets back to his feet and pulls the groggy Brandy Davis up too. He goes for another ddt but this time she reverses it into a ddt of her own. Brandy goes for the pin. One, two- Eric kicks out with the second count.]

TYLER: I can't even make bets on this! This match is amazing!

REZ: Tyler, do me a favor.

TYLER: Anything, this is the first Triad pay per view, I'm in a wonderful mood!

REZ: Shut up.

[The camera goes back to the ring and Brandy and Eric are both back to their feet. Both competitors look very determined by now. Eric grabs Brandy and picks her up with the airplane spin. After spinning several times he harshly drops her to the mat. He jumps on top of her for the pin. One, two- Brandy gets her foot on the ropes. Eric jumps back to his feet. Brandy also gets back to hers. Brandy charges at Eric and he grabs her and drops her into the Back Breaker Drop. Brandy holds her back in pain as she rolls around the mat. Eric flashes a sick smile as he sees the pain Brandy is in. He runs to the rope and bounces off landing with an elbow to her chest. He goes for another pin. One, two- Brandy slightly gets her shoulder up.]

TYLER: Eric is a sick man!

REZ: He's my kind of guy!

[Brandy is slowly getting back to her feet while Eric taunts her. She crawls over and makes a hard bash to the groin with a low blow. He holds his crotch in pain and wallows over. Brandy stands to her feet and spits on Eric. Brandy walks over and places her boot on his face. She begins to turning with spinning boot scrape. Eric shrieks in pain and tries to get out of the hold. Brandy stops and grabs Eric by the neck. She picks him up, gets him in a headlock, and runs hitting him with a running bulldog. Brandy once again pulls Eric back to his feet and raps her arm around his head. She flips him over slamming his head into the mat.]

TYLER: She has some awesome moves up her sleeve.

REZ: I wonder if she has awesome moves in other categories.

TYLER: This is public television, Rez!

[Back in the ring Eric is slowly retaliating. Brandy gets tired of waiting and pulls him back to his feet. Eric groggily throws a few punches and Brandy topples over a little. She punches him back and jumps up on him into a jumping hurricanrana. Eric lies on the mat. Brandy motions to the top rope and the fans cheer. She climbs up and flips off landing with her finisher, the moonsault. Brandy goes for a quick pin. One, two, three! Brandy is the new XWC U.S. Champion!]

GILLIAN WHITE: And your winner, the new XWC U.S. Champion, Brandy Daviiiiis!

[Brandy hops to her feet and grabs the belt from the referee. She throws both her arms in the air, one holding the belt. "Revolution" plays over the speakers again, and Brandy starts to exit the ring. She turns around one time and once again spits on Eric Reynolds. She slides out of the ring and makes her way to the back, her title around her waist.]

[Big Poppa, with Sapphire on his arm, is seen walking down the hallway. Poppa stops at a door with an XwC nameplate on it.]

BIG POPPA: "I think this is the one, Saph."

SAPPHIRE: "Shall we?"

[Big Poppa knocks on the door, awaiting an answer.]

Voice From Inside: Come in.

[Big Poppa opens the door, and he and Saph walk in. They have entered the office of Jayson Phoniex. The two fed heads shake hands, and Phoniex and Sapphire greet each other as well.]

PHONIEX: Great to see you, Poppa. You too Saph. Poppa, would you care for some M&M's?

BIG POPPA: Don't mind if I do.

PHONIEX: So, what brings you to the den of evi... I mean, urm, my office?

BIG POPPA: To be honest, Mr. P, I'm here for the M&Ms.

PHONIEX: Ok, and Sapphire, I assume you have a more note worthy agenda?

SAPPHIRE: Actually, we're looking ahead for the next Triad event. I thought that maybe we could discuss an idea I had.

BIG POPPA: It was my idea.

PHONIEX: I can only assume that you are reffering to the Triad Tag Team Titles?

BIG POPPA: Huh? Oh, yes. That's exactly what I was talking about.

SAPPHIRE: No you weren't! You wanted to hire a dancing monkey troupe to entertain the audience between the matches.

PHONIEX: While I throughly enjoyed the memo Poppa sent me about the dancing monkeys, I did like the idea of the Triad tag Teams. And belive me, I'll have a suitable team ready and waiting for you at Sin City Showdown next month.

BIG POPPA: And I too, Mr. P...of monkeys

[Sapphire hits Big Poppa in the shoulder.]

SAPPHIRE: Act like a CEO!

BIG POPPA: Yes, yes, sorry. I'll have a suitable team too, Mr. Phoniex. It'll be a hell of a bout. Good day, sir, and thanks for the M&Ms.

PHONIEX: And don't worry, I'll pass the info along to our other buisness partner.

[Big Poppa taps his nose twice.]

Green beams flash throughout the crowd, making it somewhat visible that Taurus is leaving through the crowd and celebrating with the fans. Titan stands in the ring frustrated over his loss, but his attention is diverted to the main screen as the words ‘The Boys are Coming Back’ show up.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “The boys are coming back? What’s that supposed to mean?”

MATT REZNOR: “I hope it means the Backstreet Boys! Thanks to that damned Justin Timberlake, the Boys have kind of faded out of the spotlight.”

*’Shut Up’ begins to play, and Logan walks out to the ring in street clothes. He’s carrying a microphone, and he has a serious look on his face as the fans give a mixed reaction.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “There’s Logan, but why is he here? He wasn’t scheduled to be out here tonight.”

MATT REZNOR: “Maybe he’s leaving Flaming Butthole Wrestling and coming to the only real federation in Triad.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “It’s First Blood Wrestling!”

*The fans hush as Logan begins to speak inside the ring.*

LOGAN: "This message goes out to everyone when I say ‘you win some, and you lose some.’ Well, I've lost something. It's been stolen from me, and that thing I lost is desire. I lost the desire to go out there and win. I lost the desire to put your body on the line, not for money, but to entertain every single one of you. Now, I've wrestled alot of people, I've kicked alot of ass, and I've gotten beat to a bloody pulp time and time again. No matter what, I always get up. Yeah, it hurts, but something inside me pushes me to go out there and keep giving it my best. I gave that push, that desire, that goal to the last federation Poppa ran, HIW. I gave more than I ever have there, and that's where it stayed. It’s still there resting in HIW's grave. Now for FBW, I like Big Poppa, hell you could even say I love the man, but Big Poppa, this is not High Impact Wrestling. I'm just continuing to wrestle physically in FBW when I'm mentally trapped in the empty halls of HIW. You know the simple fact deep down inside that this place will never equal up the heart of HIW. HIW legends such as Nomad, Scott Caustic, and that son of a bitch Red Dawg could easily defeat everyone here. No matter how much talent you find, you'll never be able to relive that moment, Big Poppa, or should I say Josh. You see Josh, since the day you closed the doors of High Impact Wrestling, I've never been the same. It's almost as if I've been wrestling depressed the last year. Come to think of it, this is about the same week you closed HIW. Josh, not only did you close down HIW, but you closed me down. I can't keep going on this way. I can't keep getting beat by people that weren't even High Impact material.”

*Logan begins looking down a little as his face becomes overwhelmed with sadness. The fans are cheering for Logan now.*

LOGAN: "I've spent so many nights before matches by myself, staring at the floor, knowing that this day would never happen, but it's going to happen. I just can't go on disgracing myself. My body still lives, but my spirit is dead, and the only way to set myself free, the only way to get out of this prison is to walk away. That's exactly what I'm going do. I'm going leave this ring for the last time with no thank yous or goodbyes to say, but in the mean time, I will do whatcha gotta do to get...”

*To an old, familiar catchphrase, a response comes from the crowd as they shout the words ‘to the top.’ Logan stares at the microphone a few moments.*

LOGAN: "...drunk."

MATT REZNOR: “That’s a blow to Freaking Bad Wrestling.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “You’re right, but it’s First Blood Wrestling.”

*Logan drops the microphone, but as he is about to leave the ring, he is interrupted by ‘Second to None.’ The fans start cheering loudly. Big Poppa comes to the ring with a gold belt over his shoulder. The letters ‘HIW’ are imprinted in the center plate of the belt. Poppa steps in the ring and picks the microphone up. Logan looks at the title curiously.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “That’s the High Impact Title!”

MATT REZNOR: “Who gives a crap about HIW? It’s been dead for a year.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “I know that Logan gives a crap, and I’m sure that a lot of other Triad members do too. HIW was a breeding ground for current Triad stars like Skye Jameson, your Elite Champion Brad Daddy, and FBW Gold Title Hopeful Cyber Trooper!”

*Inside the ring, Big Poppa addresses Logan.*

BIG POPPA: “You know, man, I never knew what to call you. Sometimes you were Logan. Sometimes you were Butch. Sometimes you were Lord Butch. Nonetheless, Jarrod, your retirement is definitely sad news to me.”

MATT REZNOR: “Jarrod? Is one of Logan’s multiple personalities the guy who went on the Subway Diet?”

TYLER ROBINSON: “Jarrod is Logan’s real name.”

BIG POPPA: “I listened to what you had to say about HIW and FBW, and I have to say I disagree with you. Now, I don’t want to take anything away from HIW because frankly, I had a lot of fun there, and I felt that while it lasted, it was a huge success. However, the talent in HIW is nothing compared to the talent here in FBW and XwC. First off, I’m proud of First Blood Wrestling’s roster. Look at our main events tonight. Jason Killings has impressed the pants off me. This kid’s a natural. James Blade has the potential to be one of the best to get in the ring if he keeps it up at this rate. Cyber Trooper has come a very long way since HIW, and so have you. I have to say that both of you are better now than anyone in HIW was back when it was running, and maybe that’s why you’re stuck in HIW. Maybe it only appears like the talent in HIW was better than the talent here in FBW because you’re comparing HIW’s Logan to the HIW roster and not the current Logan to the HIW roster. Where HIW had Red Dawg, the Triad has Rock Startling. These two have similar styles, but Rock Startling blows Red Dawg out of the damn water. Where HIW had Nomad, Triad has Apollyon the Destroyer. Apollyon is darker, sicker, and more deadly than Nomad ever was. Now Scott Caustic falls in a special category. He falls into the category of HIW stars who never got to the place they deserved. He falls in that category with Brad Daddy, and he falls into that category with you, Logan. You see, you may never have won a High Impact Wrestling championship, but when I think back to HIW, you’re the man that epitomized it in my mind, and you’re the man that deserves this.”

*Big Poppa presents the High Impact Title to Logan. The fans go wild. Logan looks down at the title and takes it. Big Poppa raises Logan’s arm high in the air.*

BIG POPPA: “Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the last ever High Impact Champion, Logan!”

*The fans cheer as Logan climbs up the turnbuckles and holds the High Impact Title over his head proudly. Logan walks back to the center of the ring, and Big Poppa holds out his hand. Logan reaches out to shake Poppa’s hand, but Poppa pulls Logan in and gives him a friendly hug. Logan then rolls out of the ring with the title, and he walks up the ramp as ‘Shut Up’ plays. Logan doesn’t look back, but he raises the High Impact Title one more time before exiting the arena as Big Poppa watches, arms folded over the ropes. Logan leaves, and Poppa stands back in the ring.*

BIG POPPA: “Now there goes the High Impact Title, and there goes the last High Impact Titleholder, but where one former HIW star leaves, another HIW star is coming back to FBW Tonight, and he’s bringing the HIW Extreme Title with him. He’s bringing the HIW Extreme Title to FBW, and from now on, the HIW Extreme Title is going to be the FBW Black Title! Now if you excuse me, I’ve got to meet him in the back.”

*Big Poppa leaves the ring as the fans cheer.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “I wonder who that could be! HIW had a lot of guys I wouldn’t mind seeing like Red Dawg, Scott Caustic, and Nomad.”

MATT REZNOR: “Nomad? Ha! Fat chance that he’ll be on Triad TV. He’s probably hanging out with Mike Angel in the unemployment line for people who will never ever see a Triad contract again.”

[The lights go dim in the arena, then suddenly “It Ends Here” explodes from the PA, fans rush to line up along the railing anticipating the arrival of……]

REZ: BRAD DADDY!

[Brad Daddy emerges from behind the curtains with the XWC Elite Championship draped over his shoulder. Fans near him strech their hands forward for a possible five-slap, but Brad Daddy just ignores them as he makes his way down the aisle. Staring at the sight of a 15’ steel cage surrounding the ring, seemed to enrage Brad Daddy. He began fuming ans sneering, when a sign held by a fan caught his attention.]

TYLER: Brad Daddy is here in the arena and listen to this crowd. The XWC Elite Championship is on the line inside a 15’ steel cage and this has all the makings of a classic.

REZ: You aren’t kidding there, Josh Cantrell has had an impressive showing as of late and ……Uh-oh.

Looks like Brad Daddy and a fan at ringside are having a few extra words.

[Brad Daddy approaches the fan who is holding a sign reads, “THIS HOOD IS FOR YOU!” Drawn on it was a mand wearing a white pointed hood. Brad Daddy storms over to the irrate fan holding the sign and immediately snatches it from his hand. The fan screams at Brad Daddy as he rips the sign into pieces, then suddenly grabs the fan. Hurtling him over the barricade that seperates the two. Brad Daddy begins to shove pieces of the torn poster into the mouth of the fan and then lifts him to his feet. Triad officials try to separate Brad Daddy and the fan, but Brad Daddy refuses to let go until he has led the fan over to the caged ring. Face first the fan is slammed into the steel, once, twice, three times, until his face is covered in his own blood. Brad Daddy screams into the fans face and locks in……]

REZ: SEX DRIVE?! To the floor?

TYLER: My God! Brad Daddy will kill him!

[Triad officials hurriedly rush in and prevent Brad Daddy from executing the Sex Drive. Brad pushes his way past the officials and grabs the Elite Championship. He is visibly irrate and excited, as he climbs the steps and enters the caged jungle through the only door. Brad Daddy stomps across one side to the other side of the ring, while Triad officials lead the bloodied fan to the back. Triad Commisioner Sapphire is on the outside of the cage and begins to yell at Brad Daddy in the ring. Suddenly Brad kicks the wall of the cage and charges over to the ring announcer and snatches the microphone away.]

BD: FUCK YOU BITCH!

TYLER: Whoa Boy.

BD: Hey, it’s like dis. I have not come this far to let some punk-ass be-yatch throw garbage like that in my face. Now take your funky little ass back to the back and bring out a sucka I can whoop the shit out of.

REZ: Hey, he does know that he is talking to the Triad Commisioner right?

TYLER: Unfortunately, I think he does know and really he doesn’t care.

[Just then the lights go dim as Sapphire throws her hands up into the air and turns to leave, "Not Falling" begins to play over the PA and Josh Cantrell appears from behind the curtain. Brad Daddy glares in the direction of Josh and Josh stands in the middle of the aisle returning his stare. Josh makes it to ringside, when Brad addresses him.]

BD: Hey Punk!

REZ: Do you get the impression that Brad Daddy does not want to make too many friends tonight?

TYLER: Let’s just say I’m glad I'm here watching the match and not in there going against him.

REZ: Would you say he is a little upset?

TYLER: Upset? UPSET?! HaHaHaHaHa. Yeah. Maybe a little.

[Josh Cantrell stares up into the caged ring into the eyes of an enraged Brad Daddy.]

BD: You know what BE-YATCH! I was already in a foul mood for having to be locked-up inside a cage, but after what that punk-ass in the crowd pulled. Well sucka you and me right now, ………We ain’t fighting for no Elite Championship.

REZ/TYLER: What?

BD: You are going to be fighting for survival mother-fucker. So bring it on.

[Josh Cantrell makes his way over to the annoucer’s table and grabs a microphone that is lying there. He calmly strolls back to where he was standing and casually glances up into the eyes of Brad Daddy and smirks.]

JC: Hey Brad, ……why don’t you go ahead and tell the truth about why you are so anxious tonight?

TYLER: What the Hell is he talking about now?

JC: Being locked up inside there brings back memories doesn’t it Brad?

BD: What the Hell you saying?

JC: You know Brad the days when you were locked up before and you were someone else’s BE-YATCH!

TYLER: AW Hell! Here we go and Brad looks as if he didn’t like those comments.

[Brad Daddy immediately bolts through the door of the cage and begins to chase after Josh Cantrell who bolts the opposite direction around the cage. Josh turns a corner and ducks down out of sight. Brad noticing this slows down and pauses at the corner and slowly peers around. However Brad Daddy does not see Josh and begins to look around for him.]

REZ: Look coming up from behind Brad Daddy!

[Brad does not notice Josh as he crawls out of the ring and raises a chair above his head. Josh swings the chair violently sideways, but hits the unforgiving steel wall, as Brad manages to duck the blow. Brad connects with a boot to the gut of Josh and locks in a DDT. Josh counters by jamming the chair into the gut of Brad Daddy, doubling him over and then connecting across the back with the chair. Brad drops to one knee and glares up towards Josh, who lands a echoing shot to the head. Brad falls face first to the floor.]

TYLER: MY GOD! Did you hear that?

REZ: That is what I call a home run shot there.

[Josh reaches down and pulls Brad up to his kneesand then begins to yell in his face and delivers a hard slap. Brad reacts with a stiff shot to the groin of Josh sending him slowly staggering back. Brad gets to his feet and draws back his right hand and begins to rain punches to the head of Josh Cantrell. Josh staggers back towards the railing around the ring and slumps against it to stay on his feet. Brad lets out a primal scream and charges towards an awaiting Josh. Josh at the last second dips his shoulder and lifts Brad over the railing and spilling into the crowd. Josh staggers back over to the chair that he dropped and turns to nail Brad flying through the air.]

TYLER: Did you see that? How did Josh know that Brad Daddy was about to leap from the railing?

REZ: I don’t know, but so far this has been one helluva match-up.

TYLER: You can say that again.

REZ: I don’t know, but so far this has been one helluva match-up.

TYLER: I didn’t mean literally.

[Josh takes a few seconds to catch his breath and then lays the chair on the floor. He reaches down and drags Brad Daddy to his feet and leads him over towards the chair. Josh locks in and lifts Brad up in a piledriver, but Brad Daddy begins to wiggle his body causing Josh to set him back down. Suddenly Brad lifts Josh over into a back-body drop, but Josh counters by sliding down and rolling Brad over to floor and then quickly stands and locks in a Boston Crab. Brad screams out in pain, as Josh pulls back.]

What a manuver Josh just executed! A reversal from a back-body drop to rool-over to a Boston Crab.

REZ: Hey are you thirsty?

TYLER: What?

REZ: Well, I was going to sneak out real quick and go get some nachos and a coke and I was wondering if you wanted anything.

TYLER: Are you out of your mind? We are on LIVE right now. You just can’t up and go to get yourself a snack. Are you crazy?

REZ: No, just hungry and a little thirsty. So, do you want anything?

TYLER: NO!

REZ: Ok. I’ll be right back.

TYLER: Wha….. I don’t believe this.

[Rez leaves the announce table to the shock of Tyler and makes a mad dash down the aisle and out of sight. At ringside Josh releases Brad, as the referee is screaming for both men to take it into the caged ring to start the match. Josh pushes the referee aside and pulls up the ring apron to reach under the ring. Brad Daddy has rolled over unto his back in obvious pain as Josh pulls out a table to the delight of the rabid fans in attendance. Brad slowly attempts to get to his feet when he receives a clubbing blow to the head from Josh Cantrell. Josh brings Brad to his feet and then locks him in, to set up a powerbomb onto the table. Suddenly Brad begins to scream in pain and quickly limps back to the security railing. An obvious bite mark begins to bleed from Josh's inner thigh.]

TYLER: DAMN! That's one way to get out of a Cantrell Powerbomb, let's just hope that he hasn't bitten off more than he can chew.

[Brad charges over and delivers a crushing clothesline to an unsuspecting Josh. Josh slumps back against the railing, while Brad begins to deliver a series of kicks to the chest of Josh. Fans at ringside try to reach over and slap either Josh or Brad on the back or head, but Brad Daddy reacts by taking wild swings and then screaming obscenities at them. Brad reaches down and lifts Josh to his feet and then drags him over towards the table. Josh's eyes are blank as Brad Daddy connects with a hard right and then immediately send Josh flying with a hip-toss into the table. The fans in the arena go wild. The referee checks on Josh as Brad turns to the crowd and signals for an Erotic Excellance. Reaching down for Josh, Brad is doubled-over with a stiff kick to the groin, that sends him seating to the floor.]

TYLER: Back and forth, back and forth! What a match-up we have! What do you say?

[Tyler glances over at the empty seat nest to him and just throws his hands up in the air.]

TYLER: Where is he?

[Josh gets up to his feet and is barely able to stand, but manages to deliver a kick to the chest of Brad. Josh the reaches down and pulls Brad to his feet and glares at him eye-to-eye and the unexpectedly turns and rams Brad's face into the steel cage around the ring. Brad staggers back, but Josh grabs him and then again rams Brad's face into the steel. Brad bounces back and hits the security railing hard, his eyes rolling back into his head. Josh reaches down into the debris and grabs a pair of legs from the broken table and stalks towards Brad and begins to choke him with them. Brad kicks in protest, but Josh continues to apply the pressure, until the referee pulls the legs from his hands and signals for the second time for the fight to enter the ring. Brad looks over at the ring and then down and Brad and then back to the ring. A wicked smile breaks across his face as he reaches down and brings Brad Daddy to his feet. Brad's face is covered in a crimson mask from the shots to the unforgiving steel. Josh grabs Brad by the neck and begins to lead him towards the entrance door of the cage landing hard punches as he goes. Nearing the cage door, Josh slams Brad's bleeding face into the steel steps and awaits for the referee to open the door, when suddenly Brad Daddy pops-up and grabs a shocked Josh and slams his face into the steel steps. Josh staggers backwards and Brad Daddy charges to deliver a clothesline, but Josh ducks. Josh turns to face Brad Daddy and is doubled over by a boot to the gut and then suddenly Brad executes.......]

TYLER: SEX DRIVE! SEX DRIVE! Oh My God! Did you .....DAMN REZ! Where are you?

For long tense moments Brad Daddy and Josh Cantrell lie motionless on the arena floor, when Brad flips up to his feet and the crowd goes wild. Brad inspects the blood on his face and then looks down at the prone form of Josh Cantrell. Brad reaches down and grabs a handful of Josh's hair and lifts him to his feet. Josh seems to be out of his feet, when Brad suddenly slams Josh's face into the steel cage. The crowd goes crazy with bloodlust, as Josh's face continually bounces off the steel until a red gash appears on his head and slowly runs down, covering his face. Brad let's go of Josh and Josh staggers away until he slips and falls unto the announcer's table at ringside. Tyler quickly backs away from the table asJosh pulls himself up unti the table and collapses from sheer exhaustion. Brad Daddy glances over at Josh Cantrell and then stares up to the top of the cage and then back.]

TYLER: What is he thinking? What in the world is Brad Daddy contemplating at this .....Oh No. He isn't? YES HE IS! Brad Daddy is climbing the outside of the cage. This is insane!

[Josh remains motionless on the table as Brad climbs the outside of the cage, until he reaches the very top. The referee is checking on Josh, when he notices Brad Daddy pulling himself up to the top rail of the cage. Tyler removes his headset and steps away from the annoucer's table just as Rez reappears with his coke and nachos. Rez makes his way to his assigned seat, oblivious to what is transpiring. The referee is standing between Brad Daddy and an unconcious Josh Cantrell, tryin to wave Brad off. Brad Daddy stands now on the top rail of the cage a signals to the crowd. Rez sits down and grabs his headset, when he notices Josh lying on the table. Rez looks up just in time to see Brad leap from the top of the cage and perform an incredible Pleasure Trip.]

REZ: AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brad and Josh crash through the table and Rez just barely is able to dive out of the way. The referee immediately lunges towards the debris to check on the two combatants. Brad Daddy rolls out of the pile clutching his lower back in extreme pain. Josh however lies there motionless. The referee kneels down and immediately stands holding his arms in an "X" signaling a legitamate injury. Brad Daddy manages to slide over to brace himself against the ring apron and waves off the referee that is now attempting to check on him. Paramedic crews rush down to ringside and begin to tend to Josh Cnatrell. Tyler stands to the side and watches for what seems long agonizing minutes, as emergemcy personell check on Josh and Brad. The crowd sits in a stunned silence watching the events as they unfold. Brad has now made it to his feet, but is limping gingerly with the assistance of two Triad officials down the aisle towards the back. Paramedics manage to load Josh unto a gurney and begin to push him down the aisle towards the back, where an ambulance is waiting. Brad begins to struggle against the officials and manages to pull free. Brad charges back down the ramp and dives onto the gurney that Josh is lying on and begins to land hard rights to his head. Referees and Triad officials pull Brad Daddy off of the gurney. Josh slowly stirs and attempts to sit up, when Brad Daddy rips free again and grabs hold and then flips the gurney over. Triad officials grab Brad again, and Josh takes advantage and groggily makes it to his feet and heads directly for the ring.]

TYLER: Are we on? In the back, can you hear me? Let's give it to the ring attendants to give us a temporary set-up to announce from. I just hope that you fans can hear us.

REZ: Man, I can't believe that. We made fun of the Spanish announcers, now nobody has a table!

TYLER: You?! After what could be called a career-ender, Brad Daddy looks as if he isn't through with Josh yet!

REZ: I wasn't talking about that.

TYLER: Huh? What were you talking about?

REZ: After standing in that long line, my chips and nachos are all over the floor. Damn!

[TYLER just stares in disbelief at Rez. Josh has managed to climb the stairs and enter the ring, closing the cage door behind him. Brad shoves the referee and a Triad official off and makes a mad dash towards the ring. Josh seein Brad's charge slides backwards across the mat to the far corner. Brad mounts the stairs and jerks open the door of the cage. The referee looks around and then signals for a bell.]

"DING!-DING!"

TYLER: You have got to be kidding me.

REZ: I'm not man. The nachos and coke set me back seven bucks. Highway robbery.

TYLER: After the sheer punishment that these two competitors have went through. From the brawl outside the ring to the incredible leap of death from the top of the cage. The match has now officially began.

[Brad Daddy enters the ring, wiping the blood from his eyes and stalks over towards Josh, who is sitting in the far corner. Josh pleads towards Brad who is pumping his fists, readying to fight. Brad moves in close, when Josh suddenly pulls himself to his feet and grabs a shocked Brad Daddy, slamming him into the corner. Josh lands a few punches when Brad Daddy blocks the assault and grabs Josh and slams him into the corner. Brad lands a flurry of punches and then kicks sending Josh sliding down until he is lying on the floor. Brad roars out loud to the crowd and signals for a climax. The crowd goes wild as Brad climbs the ropesand measures a prone Josh on the mat. Brad Daddy launches himself and .....]

TYLER: CLIMAX! He connects with the Climax. This could be it. It could be over.

REZ: I'll say. Nacho cheese will never get out of this material. My shirt is ruined.

TYLER: Brad goes for the pin!

Crowd: 1.....2.....

[At the last second Josh manages to raise his shoulder and break the count, the referee looks on in stunned silence, as both wrestlers lie on the mat exhausted. After tense moments Josh slowly begins to stir and sit up. Brad has made it to the ropes and begins to pull himself up. Josh's empty eyes scan the ring until he focuses on the cage wall, he immediately gets to his feet and begins to climb the steel cage.]

TYLER: Josh Cantrell is up and he's climbing the cage. If he makes it to the top and over to the arena floor, he will win the match and claim the XWC Elite Championship.

[Brad looks up and notices Josh climbing the ropes and staggers over to grab hold of Josh's leg. Josh tries in vain to pull free from Brad's grasp and then lands a series of boots to his head. Brad let's go and staggers back, as Josh continues his climb to glory. Suddenly Brad gets a second wind and charges the cage and quickly begins to climb trying to beat Josh who is just reaching the top.]

REZ: DAMN!

TYLER: You can say that again. What a match-up we have going on.

REZ: I've even got cheese on my pants. Damn!

[Josh pulls himself to the top rail and stradles it, Brad has also reached the top and hits Josh with a hard fist to the chest. Josh sways back, but manages to hold on, while Brad climbs up to the top rail and stradles it, facing Josh. The two competitors stare at each other, obviously extremely tired when they begin to trade blows back and forth. With each blow the crowd groans with anticipation the one of the two is about to fall from their lofty perch to either the ring or the hard arena flor below. Brad attempts a swing, but Josh blocks it and then immediately grabs the back of Brad's head and slams it down into the top rail. Brad sits up dazed, as Josh follows with a shot that sends Brad falling over to crash hard onto the mat. The crowd goes crazy as Josh looks around and begins to descend the cage to the floor only to pause and stare at the unmoving form of Brad Daddy.]

TYLER: All Cantrell has to do is climb down to the arena floor and win the match, but instead ......HE'S CLIMBING BACK UP?! What the Hell is he thinking?

[Josh Cantrell climbs back up and stadles himself once again on the top rail. Josh looks around the arena as the fans are going crazy, Josh then cautiously gets to his feet and then staring down at Brad, launches himself into the air. Josh goes for a body splash, but Brad rolls out of the way, sending Josh crashing hard.]

TYLER/REZ: Holy.......

[Josh rolls around the ring in obvious pain, as Brad gets to his feet and limps his way towards him. Brad pulls Josh to his feet and grabs him by the hair and charges over towards the cage wall, slamming Josh once again face first into the steel. Josh staggers back, drops to one knee, and then back to his feet, turning to face Brad Daddy. Brad grabs Josh and sets-up for another Sex-Drive, but Josh counters with a back-body drop. Josh rushes and then bounces off the ropes towards Brad, whom is getting to his feet. Brad ducks a flying forearm and turns towards Josh, who has managed to quickly recover and lunge at Brad with a superkick, but Brad ducks the superkick and turns to nail Josh with a series of rights. Brad grabs a stunned Josh and whips him to the ropes, but is reversed by Josh who sends Brad into them instead. Brad bounces off the ropes and executes a sunset flip over Josh, who was attempting another back-body drop, and rolls Josh over into a pin. Josh kicks out before a count can be started and springs to his feet, as does Brad. They both charge towards each other, but Brad lifts his knee at the last second sending Josh flipping high over, to the mat. Brad quickly goes over to grab Josh when Josh reaches up and rolls Brad into a inside-cradle pin. 1....2....Kickout! Both competitors get to their feet, but Brad is first to take advantage by grabbing Josh Cantrell and sending him again towards the steel. Josh counters just before Brad slams his face into the cage and sends Brad slamming hard into the cage. Brad staggers towards the center of the ring, when Josh suddenly comes up from behind and locks in.......]

REZ: It's a Product of Hate!

TYLER: Yes it is!

REZ: Whoever invented nacho cheese should have made it to where it will not stain clothing.

[Josh slams Brad Daddy down to the mat as the crowd goes wild. Josh slowly rolls himself to lie on top of Brad Daddy as the referee goes for the count.]

Crowd: 1.....2.....3!

"Ding!-Ding!-Ding!"

TYLER: Oh My God! It's over, the carnage is finally over. The winner of this Hell on earth, ....Josh Cantrell and your new XWC Elite Champion! Honestly folks I don't think either man here was a loser, they both gave everything they had and listen to this crowd.

[Paramedics are making their way into the ring to check on these two warriors as they begin to raise the cage. Josh is slumped in one corner, exhausted, bloodied, and holding his newly won Elite Championship. Brad is led out of the ring and escorted towards the back by the referee and one of the Paramedics, while in the ring Josh has gotten to his feet and limps towards the center of the ring. The crowd roars as Josh raises his hand in victory and makes his way towards the ropes to exit the ring. Suddenly from the opposite side of the ring Joe Max slides under the bottom rope and charges over towards Josh, spinning him around.]

REZ: Joe Max?

TYLER: Joe Max has just entered the ring and is laying a verbal assualt on Josh Cantrell. Cantrell has just been through Hell and I don't think he can survive a brawl with Joe Max right now.

[Josh looks surprised as Joe Max begins to yell at him and give him a push. Josh takes a step back and then turns to push Joe Max back. Joe Max shoves Josh once again and then Josh begins to charge after him. Joe Max runs around the ring avoiding Josh and then charges and slides out one side of the ring with Josh in full pursuit, however Josh doesn't see Teemu standing on the ring apron and can't stop in time before his is nailed with a....]

TYLER/REZ: Pie?

[The creme pie hits Josh squarely in the face sending him to a screeching halt. Joe Max and Teemu glance at each other and begin to laugh as they leap over the security railing and disappear into the crowd. Josh sits down in the middle of the ring and wipes away the globs of creme and what looks to be banannas from his face. The crowd is in an uproar of laughter, as Josh gets to his feet and angrily kicks the bottom rope. Tyler and Rez glance over to one another and just shake their heads.]

*Big Poppa is seen waiting outside the arena wearing a leather jacket. His hands are in his pockets as it seems to be pretty cold outside. Suddenly, a black limo pulls up. Big Poppa runs to the back and opens the door. A man who stands about half a foot shorter than Big Poppa steps out of the limo, and the two shake hands. This man is wearing buttoned down windbreaker pants and an open jacket, revealing an FBW t-shirt. He also has a belt around his waist, the now FBW Black Title.*

BIG POPPA: “Cade Sydal! How have you been?”

*The man is former HIW Extreme and Technical Champion, ‘The Party Xpre$$’ Cade Sydal.*

CADE SYDAL: “I’ve been alright, dude. I have to say that it’s good to be here. It’s good to work for you again.”

BIG POPPA: “It’s great to have you back and under FBW contract. I can’t wait to see how you do at Bloodbath. You’ll be defending this thing.”

*Big Poppa refers to the FBW Black Title.*

CADE SYDAL: “Dude, that sounds sweet, but what’s the deal with the title?”

BIG POPPA: “Well, the Black Title is going to be just like the HIW Extreme Title was. I guess it’s also kind of like XwC’s Extreme Title. Unlike XwC’s Extreme Title, though, it won’t necessarily be defended at every show. The only rule with the Black Title is that it cannot be defended in a standard match. As a former HIW Extreme Champion, not to mention HIW’s Lord of the Extreme tournament winner, I’m sure you’re going to be the perfect man to hold the title.”

CADE SYDAL: “Dude!”

BIG POPPA: “What do you say we go inside? It’s a bit cold out here.”

*As Cade and Big Poppa go back inside MSG, the scene switches back to the arena.*

REZ: Are you ready for a real match?

TYLER:You bet!

REZ: The XwC Heavyweight Champion will be decided right here, right now.

TYLER: In a Street Fight, no less.

[As Rez and Tyler continue to flap their mouths, "Fine Again" by Seether blasts over the sound system, and all the fans begin going nuts as Teemu McCorde emerges out on the stage. Teemu pumps up the fans before bolting down the ramp, and sliding into the ring.]

TYLER: The fans seem to love Teemu!

REZ: Yeah, the fans are stupid.

[The music switches over to "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra, and Romeo Martini, along with Garcelle comes into view on the stage. Romeo and Garcelle walk down to the ring. Romeo wispers a few things to Garcelle, and then climbs the steps up to the ring, and steps in with Teemu.]

REZ: There's the kind of Champion XwC Needs!

TYLER: A blatant cheater?

REZ: No, a man with class!

[Suddenly, the music stops, and the fans go wild as "The Big O Theme" begins to play, and The Big O, Joe Max Ontario comes out on the stage. Joe Max sees Garcelle at ring side, and he motions to the back, and the crowd cheers as the beautiful Miss Demeanor comes out to join him.Joe and Miss D walk down to the ring, and Joe slides in.]

TYLER: Looks like Joe just evened the playing field.

REZ: The ref needs to ban her from ringside!

TYLER: And he should just let Garcelle stay?

REZ: Damn right! She's moral support.

[The ref calls for the bell, and Teemu and Romeo lock up. Romeo pushes Teemu back to the corner, and Teemu puts his arms up for a clean break. As Romeo is still holding Teemu, Joe Max charges in, and clotheslines Romeo in the back, sending him into Teemu. Joe reaches down and pulls Romeo to his feet. Joe whips him to the far corner, and follows in with a splash. Joe turns to see Teemu getting to his feet using the ropes, and charges at him, giving him a splash as well. Joe looks out to the outside, and slides under the bottom rope. He pulls up the ring apron, and reaches under and pulls out a table. Joe slides it into the ring, and goes down for another toy. Joe pulls out a Trash Can, a Trash Can lid, and a cookie sheet.]

TYLER: Anything goes!

REZ: And you have the nerve to call Romeo a blatant cheater?

[As Joe slides into the ring, Teemu is up, and he stomps at the back of Joe Max. Teemu pulls Joe Max to his feet, and whips him into the ropes. Teemu lowers his head for a Back Body Drop, but Joe sees it coming, and leaps over Teemu, grabing his hips as he goes. Joe rolls Teemu up for a pin. One, Two, Thr.. NO! Romeo gets in there and breakes up the count. Romeo pulls Joe to his feet, and lays a right arm to his face. Romeo grabs the trash can lid, and whips Joe into the ropes. As Joe is coming back, Romeo lays the trash can into Joe's left knee, flipping Joe end over end and down to the mat. Teemu begins geting up, but Romeo brings the lid across Teemu's head, sending him back down to the mat.]

REZ: Much better!

[Romeo grabs the table, and sets it up. He pulls Teemu to his feet, and smacks him across the head with the trash can lid again, forcing Teemu against the ropes. Romeo whips Teemu across the ring into the far ropes, and lowers hs head for a Back Body Drop onto the Table, but Teemu sees it coming, and kicks Romeo in the face. Teemu grabs Romeo arond he waist, and lifts him for a Gut Wrench, and slams him back down for a PowerBomb.]

TYLER: Good offense by Teemu!

[Teemu slides out of the ring, and pulls up the ring apron. He pulls a ladder out from under the ring, and slides it into the ring. Teemu slides in after it, and picks it up over his head. He slams the ladder into the back of Romeo. Teemu picks the ladder up, and begins setting it up. Teemu begins climbing the ladder, and gets to the top. He looks down at Joe Max, and leaps off for a leg drop, but Joe Max moves out of the way, and Teemu hits nothing but mat. Joe Max pulls Teemu to his feet, and lays a right hand into his face. Joe grabs the ladder, and folds it up. He turns around, swinging the ladder, and hits Teemu in the side.]

REZ: The unforgiving steel of that ladder is a very effective weapon

[Joe sets the ladder in a corner, and rolls out of the ring. Joe grabs a steel chair, and tosses it into the ring. He grabs a second one, and slides under the bottom rope. Romeo grabs the first chair. Romeo swings at Joe, and Joe swings at Romeo. They both connect, and both fall to the canvas. Teemu gets up, and sees both Joe and Romeo down. Teemu grabs the ladder from the corner, and lays it down on the mat. Teemu rolls Romeo onto the ladder, and then climbs the turnbuckle. Teemu leaps off, and hits a splash on Romeo on top of the ladder. Teemu grabs a leg and goes for a cover. One, Two, Th..NO! Joe Max gets over and breakes the count up.]

TYLER: Damn, that had to hurt!

REZ: Disqualify Teemu! He can't do that!

[Joe Max pulls Teemu to his feet, and lays a right hand into his face. Teemu retaliates with one of his own. Joe Max brings his knee up into Teemu's gut, and plants Teemu with a stiff DDT. Joe gets up slowly, and grabs the trash can. As Teemu is too his knees, Joe brings the Trash Can down hard across Teemu's face. Joe walks to the ropes, and steps through to the outside. Joe Max grabs a few more items from under the ring. He pulls out a Stop Sign, a broom, and a fire extingusier.]

TYLER: As if there wern't enough weapons in the ring already.

REZ: You can never have enough weapons.

[As Joe Max is going to get back into the ring, Garcelle comes around the corner, wrapping her Rosary around her fist. As soon as Joe turns around, she clocks him in the chin, and Joe Max falls to the floor.]

TYLER: Thats blatant cheating!

REZ: HA ha ah ah ha! Joe got knocked out by a girl!

[Miss D comes flying around the corner, and clotheslines Garcelle. Miss D begins stomping away at her stomach. Romeo gets up, and sees the comotion going on outside the ring. He rolls out behind Miss D, and grabs her by her hair. Romeo threatens to hit Missy, but Teemu climbs up to the top turnbuckle, and just as Romeo turns around, Teemu leaps off, and nails Romeo with a CrossBody Dive.]

TYLER: I can't belive Romeo was gonna hit Miss D!

REZ: She was gettin in the way.

[Teemu gets up slowly, and rolls Romeo into the ring. He follows after him, but Romeo is up quickly, and begins stomping at the back of Teemu's head. Romeo pulls Teemu to his feet, and goes to whip him into the ropes, ut Teemu reverses it, sending Roemo to the ropes. Romeo ducks a clothesline attempt, and hits the ropes again, but Joe Max is back to his feet, and clocks Romeo in the back with the stop sign. Romeo reels forward, and walks right into Teemu. Teemu spins Romeo around, and delivers the TeeMutation! Teemu rolls Romeo up for a cover. One, Two, Thr..NO! Joe Max breakes up the count.]

TYLER: I have no doubt that if not for Joe Max, this match would be over right now!

REZ: Take it easy. I'm sure Romeo had a plan, I'm sure.

TYLER: Yeah, stay down for the 3 count.

[Joe kicks at Teemu as he is getting up, and grabs his wrist. Joe whips Teemu into the ropes, and gets a knee up into the face of Teemu, sending Teemu crashing to the mat. Romeo is up, and he grabs Joe Max. [Joe pulls Teemu up, but Teemu lays a few right hands into the gut of Joe, and Joe lets go. Teemu backs into the ropes, and he ducks a wild clothesline from Joe Max.

TYLER: THERE YOU HAVE IT! Joe Max Ontario is the NEW XwC World Heavyweight Champion!

REZ: Oh, Romeo. Romeo. Where were you Romeo?

TYLER: Uh, ok, Rez. Stop it, your scaring me.

*Backstage in Madison Square Garden, Rock Startling is walking through a hallway in the back when he passes FBW interviewer Stone Mitchell. Stone gets up and starts walking alongside Startling, who doesn’t seem to be paying Mitchell much attention.*

STONE MITCHELL: “Hello, Rock Startling? I'm Stone Mitchell, FBW reporter, and I was wondering if I could get a word with you before your match tonight?”

*Rock Startling slowly turns and looks Mitchell over.*

ROCK STARTLING: “An FBW reporter seeking an interview with XwC's One and Only? Already starting to turn, huh? Sure kid, I’ll give you the blessing of interviewing me.”

STONE MITCHELL: “With all due respect sir, I wouldn't say turn, but I am a big fan...I mean, I've followed your work in XwC and in the past, and you've been mighty impressive. How do you feel with the biggest match in Triad history approaching here tonight?”

ROCK STARTLING: “Don’t want to get fired, I understand. Saying im just ‘impressive’ is an understatement though. If you truly followed me, you would say something along the lines of ‘godlike’ because it fits me. Anyway, bout tonight, I feel like I always do, calm and collected. Nova doesn’t pose a threat to me and so I have no need to feel otherwise.”

STONE MITCHELL: “That's a bold statement, Mr. Startling, but Nova's not a competitor to be taken lightly. Don't you think you're a little overconfident?”

*Rock appears amused at the assessment.*

ROCK STARTLING: “It's not so much overconfidence as it is knowing my true talent. The guy has practically lost more than he has won. I don’t think I am overconfident, as you say.”

STONE MITCHELL: “I guess your nearly flawless record precedes you, but have you ever been in a match like this before? There's no doubt you’re in great physical shape, but how do you see the length of the Ironman match coming into play?”

ROCK STARTLING: “Have I ever been in an Ironman match? Besides the thrashing I handed to Nova in a video game recently, no. But I have been in the high profile matches all my career with larger odds against myself and always overcame them. As for the length, I have had longer matches with Rave, the stamina is there and ill be just fine.”

STONE MITCHELL: “Speaking of Rave, what's the deal with you two?”

ROCK STARTLING: “What do you mean by that?”

*Stone swallows hard and tries to clear himself after obviously angering Rock Startling.*

STONE MITCHELL: “I, I don't mean any disrespect, sir. I'm just wondering if you two are, you know, an item.”

ROCK STARTLING: “An item? What does that have anything to do with wrestling? Trust an FBW rep' to ask stupid questions. My personal life dont concern you kid, stick to the business.”

STONE MITCHELL: “I'm sorry, Rock. I didn't know that was such a touchy subject for you. On another note, what would winning the Triad Legendary Title mean to you?”

ROCK STARTLING: “Best be sorry. Back to the wrestling though, winning the Legendary title would feel right to me.”

STONE MITCHELL: “So you'd be proud to represent Xtreme Wrestling Coalition and Triad Wrestling?”

ROCK STARTLING: “Heh, whatever. More so proud to be representing myself, but like I said, sure.”

STONE MITCHELL: “Now Rock, this is my first time ever meeting you in person, but I'd like to know who I'm really interviewing? Are you Rock Startling, or are you the Startling Onslaught?”

ROCK STARTLING: “You got some balls to ask me something as stupid as that, but because of that I will answer. Rock Startling and the Startling Onslaught are one in the same now, all is well.”

*Stone swallows hard again, and his eyes open wide in fear, fixating on Startling and surveying his size.*

STONE MITCHELL: “So what your saying is that I_I'm face to face with the Startling Onslaught?”

ROCK STARTLING: “Yeah, but you have nothing to worry about. Action is only taken against those that try to stand in my way which I know you wont be doing anytime soon. Should you get out of line though, you'll have plenty of reason to worry.”

*Stone starts to back up slowly despite Rock’s reassurance.*

STONE MITCHELL: “Right, I've got no reason to w_w_worry. Heh. Well, um, Rock, sir. I'm just about out of time. Is there anything else you would like to add, s_s_sir?”

*Stone’s arm begins shaking slightly as he holds the microphone for Rock Startling.*

ROCK STARTLING: “Yeah. To Nova, the time has almost run out till your hour of reckoning. Lately you have shown to me that you wish to stand up to myself through words, tonight we'll see if that’s true. If it is, you know how it goes kiddo...face the Startling Onslaught like a man and go down, like a bitch!”

STONE MITCHELL: “Thank you for your time Mr. Startling, it was my pleasure. Good luck in your match tonight.”

ROCK STARTLING: “Save your luck for Nova, I dont need it. I'm out.”

*Rock walks off, and Stone breathes a sigh of relief. He raises his arm to wipe his forehead, revealing that he’s been sweating profusely as a wet circle appears on the underarm of his dress shirt.*

*The double decker cell begins to lower from the rafters as it slowly takes it’s place around the ring. As Triad ring technicians check to make sure that everything is secure, Colin Cradduck stands near the announce table with a microphone.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “The following contest is an elimination match up. It is for the First Blood Wrestling Gold Title, and it will take place inside a double decker cell! Introducing first, from Champaign, IL, weighing in at 285 pounds, he is Cyber Trooper!”

*’Das Funkengooten’ begins to play, and Cyber Trooper comes out to flashing neon lights. He dances to his entrance theme wearing special ‘Genesis’ goggles. He takes the goggles off and runs down to the ring as the fans boo him.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Cyber Trooper has been really impressive as of late. He’s gotten off his ass and made an impact in FBW.”

MATT REZNOR: “This dweeb is participating in your title match? Well, I guess I shouldn’t talk. We had Teemu in our match.”

*Cyber Trooper gets into the first level of the cell and continues dancing.*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “His opponent, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 280 pounds, is James ‘Mijo’ Blade!”

*’King of the World’ echoes through the arena, and James Blade comes out to a mixed but very strong reaction. He walks down to the ring looking very pumped.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “There’s a lot of Mijo signs out there in the audience. He’s been a key player since the beginning of FBW. He was a dark horse.”

MATT REZNOR: “I wonder who that freak watching him stretch was.”

COLIN CRADDUCK: “Finally, from Flagstaff, Arizona, weighing in at 263 pounds, it’s Jason Killings!”

*’Killing Time’ begins to play, and Jason Killings walks out to a good response from the crowd. He salutes the crowd, and as he does, pyro shoots out behind him. He continues down to the ring.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “All three of these competitors are good sized men.”

MATT REZNOR: “Oh? I hear that Mijo’s a little lacking.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “What’s that supposed to mean?”

*The three competitors all get inside the ring, and the match begins. Killings and Mijo lock up as Cyber Trooper watches on. Mijo wrenches Killings’ arm and connects with a hook kick. Mijo pulls Killings up and whips him off of the ropes. Killings comes back and knocks Mijo down with a clothesline. Mijo gets up, and Killings drops him with a scoop slam.*

MATT REZNOR: “Cyber Trooper showing some brains with his strategy of isolationism. It’s kind of like pre-Pearl Harbor America during World War II.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “So if Cyber Trooper’s America, then...”

MATT REZNOR: “Well, Jason Killings would be England, and Mijo would be Japan. Isn’t Mijo a Japanese name?”

TYLER ROBINSON: “It’s Spanish.”

*Killings pulls James Blade up, but Cyber Trooper stops watching and attacks Killings. Cyber Trooper kicks Killings hard in the gut, and he whips Killings off of the ropes. Killings comes back and Cyber Trooper drops him with a flapjack. Cyber Trooper then pulls Killings up and holds him in place. James Blade catches his wits and punches Killings in the stomach. Killings doubles over, and Trooper and Mijo drop Killings with a double powerbomb. Cyber Trooper covers Killings nonchalantly. One! Tw...Killings kicks out.*

MATT REZNOR: “I thought Cyber was an isolationist. Maybe he’s just a lazy morphine addict.”

TYLER ROBINSON: “Maybe.”

*Mijo pushes Cyber Trooper, obviously upset over the lax cover. Mijo starts talking trash to Cyber Trooper, and Trooper hits Mijo with the Eyegouge of Doom!*

MATT REZNOR: “Cyber Trooper is living proof that you shouldn’t eat Vaseline.”

*Mijo holds his eyes, and Jason Killings gets to a knee. He rolls Mijo up from behind. Cyber Trooper pins Mijo’s shoulders down for added pressure. One! Two! Mijo somehow powers his way out. Cyber Trooper pulls James Blade up and sends a chop across Blade’s throat. Blade turns around, and he’s met with another chop from Killings. Cyber Trooper picks Blade up for a scoop slam, but instead of slamming Blade down, Trooper throws Blade like a dart into Jason Killings. The two crash heads, and Blade falls to the canvas. Killings stumbles around, and Cyber Trooper grabs him by the back of the head and tosses him through the second and third ropes. Cyber Trooper follows. He pulls Killings up and starts grinding his head along the cage. Killings face twists into a painful look. He elbows Cyber Trooper to free himself. Killings smashes Trooper’s face against the cage. Killings starts grinding Trooper’s face into the cage.*

MATT REZNOR: “Grate that face! Grate that face!”

*Mijo slides out of the ring. He tries to punch Killings, but Killings blocks. Killings frees Cyber Trooper. Killings then grabs Mijo by the back of the head and starts grinding his face into the cage.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “It looks like everyone’s getting their face ground today!”

*Cyber Trooper sends a Hey look behind you superkick to the back of Mijo’s head. Mijo falls to the ground, writhing in pain. He starts bleeding from the forehead. Killings and Cyber Trooper then start brawling. Cyber Trooper whips Killings into the cell wall, and Killings collides with it. Killings bounces back, and Cyber Trooper tries to nail Killings with a German Suplex on the outside. Killings’ however, gets his leg up between Cyber Trooper’s legs to block. Killings turns around, and Cyber Trooper tries to punch him, but Killings blocks. Killings sends a hard fist to Cyber Trooper, and Cyber Trooper stumbles backwards towards a now standing, still bleeding James Blade. Mijo flips Trooper up with a Test Drive, but instead of dropping him in Samoan Drop fashion, Mijo maneuvers Trooper into electric chair position. Jason Killings gets up on the apron. He leaps off and spears Trooper off of James Blade’s shoulders and into the cell wall! Trooper falls to the protective mats after having his back rattled!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “That was awesome!”

MATT REZNOR: “That might’ve been awesome, but grating is greater!”

*Mijo pulls Killings up and rolls him into the ring. Mijo then starts stomping on Trooper before turning back to Killings. Mijo slides into the ring. He gets up and kicks Killings in the stomach. Mijo pulls Killings in and turns him inside out with a short arm clothesline. Mijo then whips Killings off of the ropes. Killings bounces back and Mijo leapfrogs over him. Killings leaps over the top rope with Cyber Trooper just getting up on the outside. Killings knocks him down with a flying shoulderblock. Both men go down temporarily, and James Blade climbs to the top rope. Killings and Trooper get up on the outside, and as they do, Mijo flips off of the top rope and crashes into Killings and Trooper!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “James Blade turned himself into a 280 pound cannonball!”

*Both men stay down for a while, but Mijo grabs Cyber Trooper and rolls him in the ring. Mijo wearily climbs in and covers Trooper. One! Two! Thr...Cyber Trooper kicks out. Blade gets up and whips Trooper off of the ropes. Killings slides back in the ring behind Mijo as Cyber Trooper catches himself by clutching onto the top rope. Jason Killings turns Mijo around and lifts him for the Jagged Edge, but Blade slides off of Killings’ shoulder. Killings turns around, and Blade kicks him in the stomach before delivering the Mijo Cutter! Blade pins Killings. One! Two! Three!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Jason Killings has been eliminated from this match!”

MATT REZNOR: “It’s time to raise things up a notch!”

*The referee opens the cell door. He sends Killings to the back and directs Trooper and Blade outside of the cage. Another referee is waiting on the second level of the cell. A door outside the cell is open. Blade begins climbing the cell towards the door, and Cyber Trooper follows. When Blade reaches his hand up to cling on to the bottom of the door, however, Cyber Trooper grabs Blade’s foot and jerks him off the side of the cell. Blade falls about ten feet down to the protective mats below!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “That’s not right!”

MATT REZNOR: “This Trooper kid’s got brains. I’ll tell you that much.”

*Cyber Trooper pulls James Blade up and rams him into the side of the cell. Trooper then drags Blade up the ramp and kicks him in the stomach. He lifts Blade up for a Cyber Bomb, but instead of dropping him, Trooper runs forwards and slams Mijo’s prone body into the side of the cell. Trooper lets go of Mijo and starts climbing the cell wall. He enters the second level of the cell and taunts the crowd waiting for Mijo to get up. After a long pause, James Blade gets up and slowly starts climbing the cell. The fans cheer him louder and louder with every step. He gets up into the cell and the referee pulls him onto the second level before closing the door and locking it up. Cyber Trooper walks slowly over to the crawling Blade, but Mijo springs up and tackles Cyber Trooper to the steel cage flooring. Mijo starts hammering Blade with fierce punches, much to the fans delight.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Mijo is on fire!”

MATT REZNOR: “He is? Better get a hose.”

Cyber Trooper bounces back, and Mijo lifts him in position for the Mijo Driver! Trooper slips off of Mijo’s back and kicks him in the stomach. Cyber Trooper hits James Blade with a DDT onto the steel cell floor below. Cyber Trooper takes a second to catch his breath before pinning Blade. One! Two! Thr...James Blade kicks out!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “I can already tell we’ve entered the brutal part of the match. Blade is wearing the famed crimson mask, and he just kicked out after getting his head driven into steel.”

MATT REZNOR: “These men are surrounded by steel right now. You could grate a head on the floor, the walls, or even the ceiling. Then, calculate the fact that these guys are sixteen feet in the air!”

*Cyber Trooper gets up angrily. He pulls Blade up with him and shoulders Mijo. Trooper runs Mijo face first into the cell wall. Trooper then turns around and tries the same thing, but Mijo slips behind Cyber Trooper and pushes him into the caging. Trooper, however stops his momentum by catching onto the cage. Blade grabs Mijo under the arms and lifts him up for a crucifix bomb. Mijo connects with the Angel of Death on Cyber Trooper onto the steel! Mijo goes for the cover. One! Two! Thr...Cyber Trooper kicks out!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “I can’t believe Trooper kicked out of that!”

MATT REZNOR: “That move almost broke a hole in the ceiling of the first level!”

*Mijo pulls Cyber up and whips him across the top of the cell. Trooper bounces into the cage and stumbles back. Mijo hits him with a flapjack. Cyber Trooper lands clutching his ribs. Mijo picks him up and delivers a rib breaker. Trooper cringes in pain. Mijo goes for the pin. One! Two! Thr...kick out!*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Cyber Trooper might be in trouble if Blade continues to exploit those ribs!”

*Mijo picks Cyber up and whips him into the corner of the cell. Mijo moves to whip Cyber again, but instead pulls him back, slamming him against the cage. Mijo repeats this a few times, and Cyber finally slinks to a sitting position on the floor. Mijo begins stomping away at Cyber Trooper, and Trooper curls into a fetal position to protect his ribs. Mijo rolls Trooper to the center of the floor. He covers Cyber Trooper. One! Two! Trooper kicks out. Mijo gets up and pulls Cyber Trooper up as well. Trooper stands dazed. Mijo holds him by the head while taunting him. Mijo then takes Cyber Trooper down with the Mijo Cutter on the steel! Blade goes for the cover! One! Two! Thr...Cyber Trooper kicks out!*

MATT REZNOR: “I thought Trooper was done for!”

*Mijo gets up as the fans let out a sigh of disappointment. Mijo lifts Cyber Trooper up on his shoulders for the Mijo Driver. He spins Trooper around, but Trooper lands on his feet behind Blade as Blade falls for the maneuver. Trooper pulls Blade up and kicks him in the stomach. He locks Blade in a front facelock and runs towards the cage’s corner. He propels himself off of the cage and hits a tornado DDT! Both men stay down, and the referee starts counting to ten. The referee gets almost all the way to ten, but James Blade starts stirring.*

TYLER ROBINSON: “Trooper hit the tornado DDT on Blade, and Blade’s moving first! That’s an indicator to how bad of shape he’s in!”

*Blade gets up, and Trooper follows slowly behind. Blade lunges at Trooper with a clothesline, but Cyber Trooper ducks it and T-Bone suplexes James Blade into the side of the cage. Blade lands awkwardly on the side of the cage. Trooper pulls him up and kicks him in the stomach. He lifts him for a Cyber Bomb, turns, and delivers the Cyber Bomb on the center of the floor. Cyber Trooper covers Blade and hooks the leg. One! Two! Three!*

COLIN CRADDUCK: “The winner of this contest and the new FBW Gold Champion is Cyber Trooper!”

*As Cyber Trooper is awarded the Gold Title, he collapses inside the second level of the cage. The two referees try to help both competitors out of the cell so that the double cell can be raised for the main event. Meanwhile, backstage, Taurus is in Big Poppa’s office. Lavon Thompson is there as well.*

LAVON THOMPSON: “Hey, Big Apple, I’m here in Big Poppa’s office with FBW Silver Champion Taurus, and Taurus has requested this time to announce that he’s pregnant.”

TAURUS: “What the hell? I’m not pregnant.”

LAVON THOMPSON: “Then why did you request this time?”

TAURUS: “It’s very simple. You see, I’m here in Big Poppa’s office to settle a personal vendetta. There’s a lot of history between James Blade and I, and that history is about to unfold very, very soon. I’d like to notice both James and Cyber just put out a hell of a match out there, and I’d like to congratulate James on his effort and Cyber Trooper on his victory. Now I know Blade is a little incapacitated right now, so I went to the man in charge with a request to...”

LAVON THOMPSON: “...create an underground FBW base?”

TAURUS: “Huh?”

LAVON THOMPSON: “You know. We might need one in case of a nuclear holocaust.”

TAURUS: “No! I asked Big Poppa if I could have a match with James Blade on Bloodbath. It’s been a while since I’ve whooped up on Blade, and I know his skills have sharpened. I’d like to consider this a personal test for both of us. I’d like to see exactly where we stand now.”

*Big Poppa chimes in.*

BIG POPPA: “So I says to Taurus, I says, in a week and a half on Bloodbath, why don’t we make things interesting? I’m proposing that the main event of next week’s Bloodbath will be for Taurus’ strap, the FBW Silver Title.”

TAURUS: “Yeah, so Mijo, take your week to recuperate, because I’m going to give you a bigger battle than I ever have before, and believe me, I’ve whipped your ass in the past.”

BIG POPPA: “But have you ever whipped Mijo’s ass in a ladder match?”

TAURUS: “A ladder match?”

*Big Poppa gets in front of the camera.*

BIG POPPA: “That’s right folks, tune into Bloodbath on Wednesday night instead of XwC’s Hazard. Hell, video tape Hazard or something, I don’t care, but just don’t miss Bloodbath. Don’t miss Taurus and James ‘Mijo’ Blade square off in a ladder match of epic proportions!”

*Big Poppa flashes a huge hokey double thumbs up to the camera before flexing his muscles.*

TYLER: Here we go! My boy Nova!

REZ: Jesus. You guys share a room, share beds, and share brains!

TYLER: No way! Nova's much smarter than me!

REZ: Your not just wissling dixie, brother.

REZ: Don't forget. DQ's and countouts also count as falls for the other person.

TYLER: I really don't think that either Nova or Rock are gonna have a problem with that.

REZ: You never know.

[Refferee Mark Glass, an outside ref brought in for Triad, calls for the bell. The fans begin chanting "Nova, Nova, Nova" as Nova and Rock look around the arena.
