Tuesday Crimson 12 Feb 2002

The Zero-tron comes to life:

Sho Murakame, or rather a wreck of a person that looks like him, is sat in a booth of the closed restuarant. His head is in his hands, and in front of him, a candle has burnt down to the bottom, oozing wax onto the table. A similarly tearful and frail looking Mrs. M approaches. She has a sheet of flimsy paper in her hand.

Mrs. M:
"Sho I just get a fax from GZW! You scheduled to wrestle Outlaw Wales on Tuesday Crimson."

Sho slowly looks up, his eyes puffy and bright red and his cheeks stained with tears. His look of sadness slowly becomes disbelief, then anger.

Sho:
"Mum, can you get your camera please?"

Mrs. M hurries off, and Sho sits up straight and wipes his eyes. He rubs his chin, and the three day stubble makes a scratchy noise. He runs his hand through his greasy hair, and merely shakes his head. He really doesn't seem to care. Mrs. M arrives back, and sets up knowing better than to question Sho's appearance, and counts him in.

Sho:
"What is wrong with you people? What is wrong with EVERYONE in GZW? You're all carrying on like NOTHING has happened! Tate Edmonson, the man who started this all has DIED! No-one seems to care! Everyone carries on like it's nothing more than a random promo! Did you not see the coverage on GZW televison? The coverage where Sincere announced the death of Tate? All your petty fueds and big mouths, but no-one has a damned thing to say about the death of a great man! You continue to talk smack about each other and wallow in self-aggrandisement, but a great, great man has died and you don't even have a word to say! Damn you all! Every single wrestler on the roster, damn you! You're all callous, self-absorbed pricks who care about nothing but yourselves! I don't give a shit about Outlaw Wales on Crimson, it is merely a match... matches can be lost and then another can be won later. But Tate is lost, and can never be won back! This means so much more! This actually means something... I've lost a friend, a mentor, and little part of myself."

Sho throws his head into his hands, as the tears start to flow.

Sho:
"I can't cope with this business any more! It twists people, it hurts people, it destroys people, and it turns people into the heartless, self-absorbed bunch of sheep that is the entire GZW roster! I am publically announcing my retirement right now! Tuesday Crimson, I face the last man I will ever face in the ring. Outlaw Wales is the last to challenge Sho Murakame! The last man, to feel the heat... of the Firefly!"

Zero-tron fades to black.

Pyro explodes around the entranceway and up and down the rampway. “Timebomb” by Godsmack rocks the Coliseum speakers signaling the new show of GZW 2K1. The camera sweeps the crowded Atlanta building showing various signs, banners, and posters. One sign reads, “I set the Film Room on fire!!” A female sign states, “Maxxine will never do you right Max!! Try a blowup doll!!”

Pike: Welcome everyone to the first ever broadcast of Tuesday Crimson, GZW’s flagship wrestling program! I’m Memphis Pike and by my side on the announce table is…

Hunt: The most colorful color commentator in the wrestling biz, the man who's always just chillin' like a villian and leaves the ladies greasy like fried chicken, Alexander Hunt! Mr. Hunt if you're nasty!

Pike: Um, right! What a week it was last week in GZW! The man who forged a path out of EWO and lead a handful of wrestlers into the new land that would become known as GZW has passed away! “The Exodus” shocked the world! Keeping to his Troublesome ways even in death, Tate continues to shock us all!

Hunt: Exactly Donutboy! The ripples of Tate’s death have been felt throughout the entire GroundZero Enterprises! As witnessed at the opening of Crimson on the Zero-tron, Tate’s former stablemate and best friend, “Fairplay Enforcer” Sho Murakame has announced his retirement!

Pike: It amazed me as well Hunt! That only leaves the “Living Legend” Pimp Bizkit as the remaining active member from the original Bad Company! Union Jack retired, Tate Troublesome has passed away, and now Sho Murakame retires!

Hunt: Well, their legacy still remains around here, as the Director of All Wrestling Operations is Kandi Fortune, the former exclusive interviewer for Tate Troublesome! I heard threw a little “Mouse” that Sho’s old lady might be getting her own show called, what else, “Mrs. M’s”! And the personal interviewer of Union Jack and (whispers) my very own uncle (speaks regular) Mike “The Runt” Hunt stills hangs around the Coliseum looking for dirt for his wrestling magazine!

Pike: The spirit of Tate Troublesome and the original Bad Company will be in each and every wrestler that will ever compete in a GZW ring! Not to overshadow the actually wrestling tonight, but what a main event scheduled for Crimson! After weeks of being brutalized by the GZW Heavyweight Champion Deacon Kane, “Smooth Operator” Billy Bond will get yet another shot at the top strap in the GZW!

Hunt: Well Ol’ Smooth legs best do it tonight as Deacon has made it quite clear that after he beats the hell out of Smooth, he better not come looking for anymore rematches! I bet it gets pretty boring beating down the same old losers all the time?

Pike: Without further delay, let’s start this Crimson off with a great match!

---Chains vs. Jake MacKinnon---

Pike: This first match is due to direct results of an ongoing feud as Jake MacKinnon is scheduled to meet Chains!

Hunt: If you ask me, Donutboy, both these idiots suck! They all want what they can’t have! Rebellion’s Extreme Championship!

Pike: Speaking of the Extreme Championship and Rebellion, immediately following this match we will go to a live feed via satellite from the GZW Director of All Wrestling Operations, Ms. Kandi Fortune!

Fireworks explode and pyro go off as "Tattered and Torn” by Slipknot starts to play. The fans erupt with a mixed pop as the former LightHeavyweight Champion Jake MacKinnon makes his entrance.

Pike: Here comes MacKinnon down to the ring. He sure has impressed many here in the GZW in the few months that he's been here! Even holding the covenant LightHeavyweight Championship!

Hunt: Impressive? Yeah, he might be slightly impressive! But that was just the Little Man’s title! The boring punk Magic held that title and dragged it into the gutter!

"Click Click Boom” by Saliva hits the speakers. Chains steps out onto the stage to a rousing chorus of boos. The latest addition to the GZW roster comes down to the ring.

Pike: This is going to be a great match!

Hunt: Spare me, Donutboy!

Both men circle each other. Tie up. Jake with the armdrag takes down Chains. Chains back up. Jake with stinging rights. Irish whip by Jake, reversal by Chains. Jake off the ropes, ducks a back elbow by Chains. Jake off the far ropes and drops Chains with a diving back elbow. The fans pop.

Pike: Jake MacKinnon looking good here tonight!

Jake lifts Chains back up. Irish whip by Jake. Chains off the ropes. Jake has his head down for a back body drop. Chains capitalizes by putting on the brakes and dropping a huge elbow to the back of Jake's head.

Hunt: Zzzz!

With Jake down face first on the mat, Chains hops onto his back and applies a sleeper type hold. Jake gets up to his hands and knees, but Chains is still on his back, holding on to the sleeper. Jake gets up to his feet and slips off to the side, but Chains maintains what is now a side headlock. Jake pushes Chains off and into the ropes. Chains bounces back. A huge powerslam by Jake. The cover, but Chains kicks out at one.

Pike: MacKinnon is a powerful young man and he showed it there, snapping Chains over with the powerslam. Jake lifts Chains back up to his feet. Irish whip by Jake, reversal by Chains. Jake off the ropes, ducks under a clothesline and goes behind Chains. Jake with a rear waistlock. Standing switch by Chains. Chains with a release German suplex!

Hunt: This is like reliving the nightmare of those Forsaken punks in the earlier days! BORING!!

Pike: But wait! Jake's getting back up near the ropes! Chains charges at him with a clothesline, but Jake back body drops him over the top rope and down to the Coliseum floor right in front of us!

Chains gets up slowly on the floor. Jake runs to the far ropes, bounces off and nails Chains in the mouth with a baseball slide kick to the floor. Now on the floor, Jake lifts Chains back up to his feet as the fans roar with approval.

Pike: Jake lifts Chains up to his feet right in front of us. But Chains with a thumb to the eyes of Jake MacKinnon! Come on! Chain's a young top-notch wrestler; he doesn't need to take shortcuts like this!

Hunt: But if you can, why not?

Now with the advantage, Chains slams Jake's face into the Pig Latin announcers’ table. Chains clears the table off and pulls himself and Jake up onto the table.

Pike: Oh no! Chains has got Jake MacKinnon on the table! Chain is going to piledrive him through the table!

Hunt: As long as it isn’t our table for a change!

Chains has Jake's head in a headscissors ready for a piledriver through the table. But Jake breaks free. He lifts Chains up by the waist and drives him through the table with a drop down spinebuster slam. (Rock’s spinebuster)

Both men lay motionless on the concrete floor, the fans chanting "G-Z-W". Ref Sonny Bright has no choice but to call this match a double count out.

Pike: This feud is heating up like a bonfire!

Hunt: Maybe their next match will be TO set each other on fire!

---Live feed via satellite---

The Zero-tron fusses and becomes clear showing Kandi Fortune sitting on a bed in the same room in which she was last seen on GZW Television. Kandi’s eyes are puffing from hours of crying. Her hair is pinned back in a bun. It is apparent that she is not caring how she looks for the audience.

“Although the past week has been horrible for me, I realize that I have a company to run. In the absence of a President, the Executive and Booking Committee has been doing an excellent job without much direction. (tears start to well in her eyes) Being the Director of All Wrestling Operations it falls to me to lead this company that Tate helped build.”

Kandi inhales and takes a long breath. She wipes the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief.

“I plan to lead this company into a greater horizon than Tate imagined. He had major plans for the company that he loved and he shared much of that with me. He also shared his thoughts with me about how he loved each and every wrestler in the locker room. From the developmental wrestler to the GZW legends.”

Her expression changes from sadness to madness. She looks directly into the camera seemingly burning a hole through the lens.

“That’s why it boggles my mind how stupid ass bastards like Rebellion, Justin Sharp, and Magic mock him. I’m sure those are not the only three that felt that way, but those three were foolish enough to talk ill of Tate. Rebellion, you want to brag how happy you are that my brother-in-law is dead; that now you are the true and only rebel? Well, little ex-HKWF extreme boy, as if this minute I am stripping you of that Extreme title. (the crowd watching the Zero-tron pops) On Travesty you will be competing for the Extreme title against Chains, Jake MacKinnon, and GoldenEye in a match that the Booking Committee has already made. I cannot change that. What I can add is that regardless if you win the match or not you will not be crowned as the official Extreme Champion. You want to be a loner, a true rebel? Now you’ll really have to prove it to ME!!!”

The crowd explodes with “G-Z-W, G-Z-W”.

Pike: Wowsers! Ms. Fortune has stripped Rebellion of his Extreme Championship!

Hunt: Even I know better to talk about my ex-broadcast partner and new boss, Donutboy! Rebellion wanted to be a rebel, well now he has to fight the spirit of the Rebel For The Hell Of It!

“Little bitty cock, I mean cocky, Justin Sharp. You think just because you wasted a few nobodies here and there in the Indy circuit that you have the balls to step into GZW and run things? You think that loser of a father that you once had could hold a light to Tate Troublesome? If it wasn’t for me, Kandi Fortune, you wouldn’t even be on GZW Television. In a flash I could have your ass back at Trouble Trax doing dark matches against Terry Pattern for Wednesday Wyldsyde. You don’t want to show anyone in GZW any respect but your meaningless self, well ‘Mr. Pride’ expect to be TAUGHT some damn respect by Fortune Familia!!”

Pike: Ms. Fortune is on a tirade here tonight! I could only imagine the things she has in store for Justin Sharp!

Hunt: It sucks to be Sharp right now!

“Finally we come to the resident nutcase, the Desert Storm Magic. Sean Fiery, you think GZW has made you the way you are? You haven’t seen anything yet. Your career in GZW is over, Magic. From this moment on, Fortune Familia will see to it that we run your ass out of the business that Tate Troublesome made. Once I have you gone, all I will have to say is ‘good riddance’.” (OOC: Magic said those last words as Steph was honoring Tate Troublesome…check the RP Board…Tate)

Pike: Chocolate covered Dunkin’ Donuts!

Hunt: Woohoo! Magic’s on his way out the door! Finally we are getting ready of the boring Forsaken punk!

“If anyone else would like to join this shit list, just say the wrong thing from here on out. While I may not be ready to return to the Coliseum right now, I have entrusted the power of authority in one man who stayed true to Tate through thick and thin. This man will be my eyes and ears to report to me all that he sees and hears, my arm and fist to extract extreme justice against all perpetrators of the Fortune Familia. I introduce you to the new Interim Deputy Commissioner of GZW…”

“Sprach Zarathrusta” trumpets over the Coliseum speakers. Dressed in a black t-shirt, black jeans, and black shades covering his eyes, Sincere steps onto the entranceway, arms crossed over his chest. The crowd explodes with heel heat.

Hunt: The Jade Dragon, the professor of psychological warfare and mastermind of mindgames, and most decorated champion in GZW is now the Interim Deputy Commissioner! Life gets no better than this!

Pike: I’m at a loss for words!

“Remember this GroundZero Wrestling, I am Kandi Fortune. No matter what anyone else might say or think, I run the GZW. This is a Fortune Familia world. Learn to love it!!”

The Zero-tron fusses and fades to black as Sincere walks backstage through the curtains. The crowd is still buzzing from the news.

Pike: Let’s go to a commercial!

---Commercial---

---Recorded from Sunday Storm---

Pike: We will take a break from Tuesday Crimson to bring everyone two matches that happen to be salvaged from the mysterious fire in the Film Room that happen on Sunday night!

Hunt: It’s strange all the strange things going around this company! Not too long ago all the damn cameras wound up in Hong Kong and now the Film Room burst into flames! Maybe the Coliseum is haunted?

Pike: Shuttup, Hunt! Direct your attention to the Zero-tron and to our new announce team of Chris Kong and Jordan Cunning!

---Justin Sharp vs. Celestia “Mooncat” L’yark---

Pike: Our next match pits the cocky and controversial Justin Sharp as he takes on the first female to wrestle men in the GZW, Celestia “Mooncat” L’yark!

Hunt: You really think Lez can beat Justin Sharp? Come on! The only thing that woman should be beating is some eggs in the kitchen! Hey Lez, go bake me a cake or something!

Pike: I’m still in awe of the speech Ms. Fortune gave before the commercial!

Hunt: Justin Sharp might need to get his Pride buddies to watch his back, cause you never know who might come down to teach him some respect!

“The Private Psychedelic Reel” by the Chemical Brothers hits the speakers. The fans rise up as the phenomenal female of the GZW, Lez, makes her entrance with her metal chair given to her by Sho Murakame in hand.

Hunt: Lex is holding tight to that chair given to her by Bugboy! Since he has announced his retirement, I think she plans on selling it to the highest bidder on Ebay!

"One Step Closer” by Linkin Park hits the speakers. The fans boo loudly as the cocky Justin Sharp struts his way to the ring.

Pike: Justin Sharp has not endeared himself to the fans or the locker room in his short time here in the GZW! His and Maxx Pain’s “outsider” attitude and actions has shaken the GZW to the core!

Hunt: They just hate him cuz they know he's Da Man!

Lez stretches using the ropes as Sharp steps into the ring. The cocky self-proclaimed "Indy Legend" walks up to Lez, talking smack. Lez gives Sharp a look as she is not impressed. Sharp talks some more trash. Lez backs up a bit and then decks Sharp with a huge right hand.

Hunt: That will wipe the cocky smile off his face!

The fans pop as Sharp gets back up slowly, holding his lip. Lez motions for him to get up. The two competitors lock up in the center of the ring. Sharp ducks under and holds Lez with a rear waistlock. Sharp takes her down to the mat on her chest with an amateur takedown. Sharp, now on her back, slaps at the back of her head, taunting the female superstar.

Pike: Sharp is trying to intimidate Mooncat here!

Hunt: She should be intimidated! That's Justin Sharp!!! He's an Indy Legend! The pride of Pride!

Pike: Oh brother! Someone's been reading Sharp’s press!

Hunt: If he says he's a legend, then he's a legend!

Sharp gets off of Lez. She rises to her feet. The two lock up once more. This time Lez with a side headlock. She really grinds the headlock in tight. Sharp goes to push her off and into the ropes. Lez off the ropes. Sharp leaps up, going for a leapfrog over Lez, but she stops, catches him in midair and drops him on his "lower extremities" with an inverted atomic drop.

Pike: Lez making Sharp feel the pain for having a male's anatomy!

As Sharp stands stunned, Lez levels him with a clothesline. The fans cheer wildly. Lez lifts Sharp up and takes him down with a vertical suplex. The cover by Lez but Sharp kicks out at one. She lifts him back up to his feet. Irish whip by Lez. Sharp off the ropes, ducks a Lez clothesline. Sharp off the far ropes and drops Lez with a flying forearm smash. With Lez down, Sharp bounces off the ropes and drops a quick elbow drop to the chest. Sharp then stomps on the down Lez.

Hunt: There you go! Give her the boot!

Pike: Justin Sharp lifts Celestia back up and takes her down with a snap suplex!

With Lez down, Sharp goes to the apron. Lez is back up.

Pike: Sharp with a springboard missile dropkick but instead of covering Lez, Sharp is showing off to the crowd with his gestures!

Hunt: Ah don't worry! Mooncat's just a chick! Justin can take his time!

Pike: Yeah, she's just a chick...a chick that can kick your behind, Hunt!

Sharp finally turns his attention back to his opponent. He turns around, but Lez is back up to her feet. She fires off punches that rock Sharp’s head. Irish whip by Lez, reversed by Sharp. Lez off the ropes and Sharp knocks her down with a spinning heel kick.

Hunt: That was a beautiful spinning heel kick!

Sharp lifts Lez back up and drops her with an inverted DDT. Sharp with a cocky one foot pin on Lez's chest.

1…

Pike: Mooncat kicks out! Sharp will have to show more effort than that to beat Celestia!

Hunt: Aw heck! Justin Sharp can beat her with one arm tied behind his back and blindfolded! He can beat her with his sheer legendary awesomeness!!!

Sharp lifts Lez back up to her feet. The arrogant man fires off right hands. Irish whip by Sharp, reversal by Lez. Sharp off the ropes, ducks a Lez clothesline. Sharp off the far ropes. Lez takes him down with a hurricanranna.

Pike: Nice move by Celestia!

Hunt: I bet Justin loves to have his head between a woman's legs, but not like that!

Pike: That might be the first time he's been between a woman's legs other than being born!

Sharp gets back up to his feet. Lez kicks him in the midsection, lifts him up and drops him throat first across the top rope with a dropping stun gun. Sharp staggers back holding his throat. Lez grabs him and takes him down with a belly to belly suplex. The cover by Lez. The count by Ref Donald Fey.

1…2…

Pike: No! Kick out by Justin Sharp! The fans rallying behind Celestia!

Lez lifts Sharp back up to his feet, but Sharp with a thumb to her eyes to regain the advantage. Sharp kicks Lez in the midsection and lifts her up for a powerbomb, but Lez counters by shifting her weight. Lez ends up locking in Sharp with a tarantula! (fans pop)

Pike: Ref Fey calls for the rope break! What a counter by Celestia! Now as Sharp gets up slowly to his feet, Celestia is up on the top turnbuckle. She leaps off for a flying clothesline, but Sharp shoves Ref Fey into harm's way! Celestia ends up clotheslining Ref Fey!

Hunt: See, that's the problem! The only clothesline a woman should be dealing with is when she's doing the laundry!

Ref Fey is down on the mat. Lez tries to help him up. Meanwhile, Sharp sneaks up behind her, grabs her by the waist and drops her on the back of her head with a release German suplex. The fans boo as Sharp taunts the crowd. With Ref Fey still down, Sharp lifts up Lez for in a fireman's carry into a Michinoku driver. But as he has her up on his shoulders, Lez slips off and lands behind him. Sharp turns around. Lez kicks him in the midsection and tosses him with an exploder suplex.

Pike: What a move by Celestia! She goes to the apron. Sharp is up slowly to his feet. Celestia springboards off the top rope, lunges at Sharp, hooks his head and drops him with a launching DDT! (Springboard off ropes into an inverted DDT in one fluid motion) She covers him, but there is no ref to count it! Celestia could have the match won right here!

Hunt: No ref, no win! But wait, here comes someone down to the ring!

Pike: That's no ref! That's Maxx Pain!

Maxx steps into the ring. Lez gets up to her feet and turns around. When she does turn around, she gets a face full of boot as Max nails her with a mafia kick. The fans boo as Maxx lifts her back up to her feet and drops her with the...

Pike: Career Ender! (high angle powerbomb) Now look at Justin Sharp! The opportunist hops up onto the turnbuckles and nails a split legged moonsault on Celestia! Now Ref Fey comes to! He counts the pin!

1…2…

Pike: Three! Justin Sharp wins it with a huge assist to his Pride partner Maxx Pain!

Hunt: A win is a win! Celestia could not overcome Justin Sharp’s innovation or his originality!

The fans boo as Sharp’s hand is raised in victory. Maxx reaches back down and lifts the groggy Lez back up. With an evil laugh, Maxx lifts the Arabian Assassin up and drops her down with three consecutive powerbombs.

Pike: Unhand her, you fiend! Maxx Pain has delivered Operation Pain to Celestia!

Sharp instructs Maxx lift her back up again. Sharp positions Lez’s head in between his legs and underhooks her arms. Sharp jumps into the air and drops Lez on her face with a pedigree.

Pike: That cocky bastard just hit Hydra on Celestia!

Hunt: Talk about a head job!

As the two Pride members stomp on the first female of GZW wrestling “Welcome To Atlanta” by Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris kick starts over the sound system of the Coliseum. The crowd explodes in cheers as Kombat barrels down the rampway. Max Pain looks up at the approaching youngster and beckons him on.

Hunt: What is this idiot going to do? His shoulder is still injured after that fall from the steel cage he took on the Ring of Honor show!

Pike: Kombat is just looking to even the odds!

Kombat slides into the ring and Maxx gives him no time to get to his feet. Maxx stomps the rookie in his head with vicious boots. Maxx lifts up Kombat and Irish whips him into the ropes. Kombat returns and is hit with a running big boot.

Pike: Looks like the set up for Pain’s finisher!

Maxx lifts up Kombat and drops him on top of Lez with the Career Ender. Pride stands tall with their arms raised to the booing crowd.

Pike: Celestia L’yark could be seriously hurt in the ring! Get some EMTs down here now!!

Hunt: I guess nothing is wrong with a little Pride!

---Commercial---

---Unexpected Hall of Famer---

Pike: The EMTs and officials finally got the ring cleared of Justin Sharp and Maxx Pain! Celestia has been taken to Georgia Baptist Medical Center and we will keep everyone informed. Kombat is doing all right and is being looked at here in our own medical center! How low will these Pride guys go?

Hunt: Donutboy, it’s all about the sport of wrestling! That chick wanted to wrestling and so she got what she wished! I bet she wished that she would have heeded Tate Troublesome’s, rest in peace, words and just would have been Sho Murakame’s valet!

Pike: That’s no way to treat any wrestler though! Even if she is a woman!

Suddenly "SIC, Molt Injected Remix" by Slipknot plays over the PA as "The Last Man" Cravin Morehead, dressed in black gzw promotion t-shirt and black pants, steps out onto the rampway and pauses for a moment. He slicks his hair back with one hand and looks out onto the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring and slides in.

Pike: It’s like I’ve seen a ghost but that is truly Ring of Honor “Last Man Standing” Cravin Morehead! Word was going around backstage that he had been spotted earlier!

Hunt: Damn! This means I have to give the loser his Ring of Honor plaque! And I just cleared off a space on the Hunt Hall of Fame bookcase for it!

Calling for the mic from the ring announcer he speaks...

" GZW, I come to you today still nothing more then a regular man, maybe now I am proclaimed a Ring Of Honour Inductee along the side of another incredible person Jason Makavelli, or as I once knew him as Fubu. I have achieved my dreams thanks to the GZW, but as quickly as I have had them in my grasp they had to slip away. I must pardon myself for my sudden ejection from this mighty franchise, but I have had things happen in my life no one should need to go through..."

... The Zero Tron shows a picture of a man approximately 56, large but looking very tired and weak. He is sitting in a golf cart with the appropriate gold attire and a smile on his face...

" That, is my father. Daniel Morehead (Daniel O'Riley), or as his mother called him, Danny. During my reign here in GZW Danny had fallen ill due to cancer. He had been in intensive care and chemotherapy for a long time but, recently he had finally passed away. My father was the man who taught me everything I know. I have been considered The Last Man, but he, he was the First Man... I'm sorry to bring the crowd down. But I felt I owe them an explanation for what happened...

... The picture on the Zero-tron fades into black...

"But I'm here again, not to wrestle, not to commentate or ref. I have been honoured by your votes and I am being honoured into the ring. Heh, I could never live up to such a task. Just consider me a human, that’s all. One lucky individual who had the opportunity to wrestle along side and against some of the pioneers, and greatest wrestlers I have ever met.... Not just wrestlers though, but a family, we may fight its what were paid to do but there’s more to it then that. I mean sometimes these "wrestlers" knew me better then my family ever could."

"I owe the best moments of my life to GZW, I owe my business Cab Shoe Co, I owe my wife Tanisha and my baby daughter Sabrina, I owe the clothes on my back and the roof on my head... GZW, I could never forget it, the feeling of being in the ring, was like flying, even the blood staining my hair meant something... Its not over GZW, not by a long shot..."

... Cravin hands the mic off to the ring announcer and walks outside the ring. Walking up the rampway he slaps everyone’s hand on the way up. Standing at the very top he turns around and raises his hands in the air as the fans chant "Last Man, Last Man" for the last time, he walks to the back...

Pike: The two Ring of Honor legends are simply great! First Jason Makavelli had a great acceptance speech on the Ring of Honor show and now Cravin Morehead touches us with his words!

Hunt: (sniffling) I’m speechless, Donutboy!

---Backstage---

Kombat is sitting on an examining table as paramedics shine a pen light into his eyes. The shirtless Eric rubs his head as his eyes follow the tiny light. There is a knock on the door and James the wrestler better known as Desecrator walks into the room. He forgetfully leaves the door open.

James: Hey bro, you alright? Sorry I didn’t make it to the ring to help out. I just got here a few minutes ago.

Eric: It’s all good, man. I just couldn’t sit backstage and watch those two cowards beat down on Ms. L’yark. I hope she is doing fine. I haven’t heard any word yet.

The words “You probably never will” are all that is heard as two blurred forms rush through the open door. A massive clothesline instantly floors James while Eric is bashed over the head with a steel chair. The camera focuses and it is none other than Pride, Maxx Pain and Justin Sharp. The two walk out the door leaving the unconscious Kombat and Des with the horrified paramedic.

Maxx: Keep your nosey Atlanta asses out of Pride business next time!

Both men laugh as they disappear down the hall.

---Invincible vs. Adam Cage---

Pike: Our next match will showcase a former UwU Heavyweight Champion in Invincible against the “Ragin’ Shotgun” Adam Cage!

Hunt: “Ragin’ Shotgun” huh? His mouth pops off like a shotgun! And Invincible was the UwU Heavyweight Champion big whoopee! I once ate a 32-ounce steak from Bullseye Steakhouse, but you don’t see anyone jumping up and down for me!

The theme from "Chariots of Fire" hits the speakers. The fans are up on their feet as Invincible makes his entrance. He slaps the hands of the fans at ringside. Suddenly, Adam Cage runs down the ramp and attacks Invincible from behind with an axhandle.

Pike: Adam Cage with a sneak attack in the aisle before the match even starts!

Hunt: If it's before the match, it's all legal! Kick his goody goody butt!

Cage viciously slams Invincible's head into the steel guardrail at ringside. Cage then lifts up Invincible with a scoop and drops him throat first across the rail.

Pike: Chocolate covered Dunkin’ Donuts! That may have collapsed Invincible's windpipe!

Cage grabs Invincible by the hair and rolls him into the ring. The bell rings to start the match. Cage goes to work on Invincible, choking him on the middle ring rope.

Pike: Cage is like a vicious animal in the ring!

Hunt: Sadistic, ain't he?

Cage lifts Invincible up to his feet. Irish whip by Cage. Invincible off the ropes, ducks a Cage clothesline. Cage turns around. Invincible nails him in the face with a dropkick. Cage back up. Invincible takes him down with a hiptoss. Invincible lifts Cage back up to his feet. Invincible with stiff punches, then whips Cage to the ropes. Invincible with a tiltawhirl backbreaker across the knee drops Cage to the mat. Invincible then sits on Cage's chest and wails away on him with punches.

Pike: Invincible taking the fight to Adam Cage! Great strategy by Invincible. When you're in the ring with someone like Adam Cage, you can't let up for a second!

Invincible lifts Cage back up and drop him with a belly to back suplex. With Cage down, Invincible holds his legs and drops a legdrop to the groin.

Pike: Ouch! Invincible giving the Ragin’ Shotgun a taste of his own medicine! Invincible now lifting Adam back up to his feet, but Cage with a rake to the eyes to regain the advantage! Adam Cage quickly capitalizes, dropping Invincible with a DDT!

Hunt: Boo yeah! I might start liking this Adam Cage!

Cage lifts Invincible back up to his feet and drops him down to the mat with an inverted vertical suplex. As Invincible is down, Cage rips off the padding of the top turnbuckle to expose the steel. Cage lifts Invincible back up. Cage with a scoop holds Invincible up, ready to drop him face first down onto the exposed steel. But Invincible slips off and lands behind Cage. Invincible with a dropkick from behind sends Cage's face flying into the steel.

Pike: Cage's dastardly plans backfire! Now Invincible grabs the former Extreme Champion and repeatedly slams his head into the exposed steel!

Hunt: This is uncalled for! Cage wasn't really going to drop Invincible's face on the steel. He was just playing around!

Invincible is not playing around as he turns Cage around and hammers him with punches. Invincible with an Irish whip sends Cage diagonally across the ring to the opposite corner. Invincible charges in. Cage with a back body drop sends Invincible over the turnbuckle and top rope, but Invincible lands on his feet on the apron. Invincible quickly springboards off the top rope and nails Cage with a dropkick to the back of the head. Cage is sent flying across the ring. Cage slides out under the bottom rope and out onto the floor to regroup. But Invincible does not waste time. He runs to the ropes and slingshots himself out of the ring, but Cage sidesteps him!

Pike: Wowsers! Invincible went for the slingshot to the floor, but Cage stepped out of the way! Invincible's legs hit the guardrail and he hit his head on the Coliseum floor! Oh my god!!!

Cage goes back to the offensive quickly, lifting Invincible up and tossing him into the steel steps, causing further damage to his neck and head.

Pike: Adam Cage showing his sadistic and vicious side once again!

Hunt: What do you expect? A game of patty cake?

Cage lifts up Invincible to his feet on the floor. Invincible may seriously have a concussion. Cage rolls Invincible back into the ring. The Ragin’ Shotgun slides back in as the fans boo loudly. Cage looks to the crowd, almost motioning as if he thrives on the boos. Cage moves in on the downed Invincible and locks in a triangle sleeper hold.

Pike: Oh my, he could really do some serious damage to Invincible! Invincible is at the ropes, but Cage won't let go!

Hunt: He wouldn't be extreme if he always played nice, now would he?

Ref Paulie Newman tries to pull Cage off of Invincible, but Cage will not release the hold. Ref Newman has no choice but to call for the bell.

Pike: Adam Cage has been disqualified, as he will not release the sleeper hold! Invincible wins it!

Hunt: He doesn't look like a winner to me!

Cage continues to lock in the triangle sleeper. Ref Newman tries desperately to pull Cage off. He finally releases the hold. He then turns to the ref, kicks him in the midsection and then drops him on his head with the...

Pike: Nova on Ref Newman! (flowing DDT) That was uncalled for! What does that prove? Now look! Cage goes back and locks the triangle sleeper hold on Invincible again! What the hell?!?

Hunt: Oh, why not? Go for it! Have fun!

Pike: Adam Cage is trying to prove that he is a major force to be reckoned with in the GZW...but look! Here comes El Gambit! What is this all about!

Hunt: It’s El Gambit, the newest member of Pride? Maybe this is part of his initiation?

El G runs down to the ring and stomps on Cage, forcing him to break the triangle sleeper on Invincible. El G then locks in his Lock of Gibraltar (Rings of Saturn) submission on Adam Cage.

Pike: Now El Gambit won't let go of the Lock of Gibraltar on Cage!

Hunt: Woohoo! El Gambit is pissed off about his lost to Desecrator last week! He is taking his frustration out on anyone in the ring!

Pike: Look Hunt! Here comes Maxx Pain and Justin Sharp down to the ring! Look’s like the rest of Pride is coming down to help out their new buddy El Gambit!

Maxx and Sharp enter into the ring. El G releases the Lock of Gibraltar and looks at the two men standing in the ring.

Pike: Is this it? The official formation of Pride? Maxx Pain, Justin Sharp and now El Gambit?!?

Maxx reaches out his hand and grabs El G's hand. Maxx pulls him in, kicks him in the midsection, and then drops him with a Career Ender.

Pike: What? Maxx Pain drops another person tonight with the Career Ender?

Hunt: I guess he's not the third member of Pride after all!

Sharp lifts El G back up to his feet. Meanwhile, Cage gets back up to his feet. Cage moves in, locks El G’s head under his arm, lifts him up into a suplex position and then drops him straight down on his head with the...

Pike: Last Resort! (brainbuster) Adam Cage drops El Gambit with Last Resort!!! Wait a minute! Cage shakes the hands of Justin Sharp and Maxx Pain?!? Is this PRIDE?!?

Hunt: Yes! Maxx Pain, Justin Sharp and Adam Cage! Pride is born!

Pike: $h!t on me!!! What kind of alliance are we seeing here?

The fans boo as Maxx Pain directs traffic in the ring. Sharp goes up onto the apron as Cage lifts El G back up to his feet. Maxx stands behind El G, holding his arms out in a crucifix. Sharp leaps onto the top rope, then springboards off and connects with a missile dropkick right at the exact same time as Cage kicks out El G's feet from behind with a leg sweep. As El G falls backwards from the simultaneous attacks, Maxx connects with a stiff mafia kick to the back of the head.

Pike: Chocolate covered Dunkin’ Donuts!!! What the hell was that? El Gambit not only got nailed with a springboard missile dropkick and a kicking leg sweep, but as he fell backwards, he got his skull blasted from behind with that mafia kick!

Hunt: There can only be one name for a move like that...the TRIFECTA!!!!

The fans boo as Sharp, Cage and Maxx stand in the ring with their arms raised.

Pike: Pride is here...and the GZW will never be the same again!

As the three men stand in the ring, a huge "I AMMMM NUMBERRRRR ONEEEE!!!!!" roars across the speakers. “The Enforcer” T-Rex and Nathaniel “Entertainment Franchise” Davis run down to the ring.

Pike: Here come T-Rex and Nathaniel Davis!

Hunt: Donutboy, master of the obvious!

Rex, with steel chair, and Davis, with a kendo stick, slide into the ring. Pride leaves the ring and head back up the ramp. The two groups exchange glares and point at each other as the show goes to a commercial.

---College Crew vs. Endangered Species---

Pike: Up next, we will see the former Tag Team Champions, Endangered Species, against one of your favorites, Hunt, the College Crew!

Hunt: Oh yes indeedy! Who doesn't love two fun loving, beer-loving guys like Brent Wellington III and Rick Samson? But let me tell you Donutboy, these two guys from HKWF, the Bash Brothers of Wrestling, Elijah Threatt and Joseph “Lost Soul” Synger have already won themselves into the Hunt Hall of Heels months ago with their first run here in GZW! Plus “Sexy Bitch” Devotion helps!

Pike: Of course!

Hunt: With there constant beat downs of every team in the tag team division, Endangered Species are here to show that they will do what they want, when they want! Did you see the mugging they gave the College Crew last week in the cafeteria?

Pike: Well I say they're nothing but a couple of opportunistic thugs looking to push people around here in the GZW! Just they wait until people like the Fierys start pushing back!

Endangered Species followed by Devotion head down to the ring to a chorus of boos from the capacity crowd at the GZW Coliseum. "Warning" by the late Notorious B.I.G. blares on the Coliseum sound system as Threatt and Synger make their way to the ring. Devotion with short skintight white leather shorts on, knee high white leather boots, and a white leather halter top, stands on the outside. A fan's sign reads, "Jessica Wuchie’s got nothing on you Sexy Bitch!!"

"Beer? Oooowwwww!!!" Out with their three favorite things, their girlfriends Heather and Linsey, and a large cooler full of beers, come the College Crew of Suc Mi Phi, BW3 and Samson. The fans also show their dislike for the two fraternity boys. A fan's sign reads, "College Crew think G.P.A. stands for Great Party=Alcohol!"

The College Crew gets in the ring as Endangered Species stand in their corner, ready for action. Ref Sonny Bright calls for the start of the match. Threatt and BW3 start off the match for their respective teams. Both men tie up. BW3 with an armdrag takes down the bigger man. BW3 lifts up Threatt, hammering with chops to the chest. Irish whip by BW3. Reversal by Threatt. Threatt charges as BW3 bounces off the ropes and clotheslines the hell out of BW3, sending him flipping through the air.

Threatt lifts up BW3 back up to his feet. The Endangered Specie with several stiff right hands to the head of BW3. Irish whip by Threatt. BW3 bounces off the ropes.

Threatt lifts up BW3 and shoves him into Endangered Species’ corner. Threatt stomps away on BW3 and then tags in Synger. Synger gets in the ring and both men go to work stomping on BW3. Endangered Species lift up BW3 and drop him hard to the mat with a double vertical suplex. As Threatt goes back to the corner, Synger goes to the corner, taunting Rick Samson.

Pike: Arrogant little buggers, aren't they?

Hunt: Respect is due to Endangered Species! They are pioneers in the GZW tag team scene!

Synger lifts up BW3 to his feet and whips him to the ropes. BW3 bounces off the ropes. Synger goes to scoop up BW3, but the College Crew floats over and lands behind his opponent. BW3 quickly hooks the waist of Synger and drops him on the back of his head with a high angle belly to back suplex. Heather and Linsey, showing their cheerleader background, jump up and down cheering.

Hunt: Umm...what I wouldn't give for some x-ray vision right now! Damn this match! Let’s just see Heather, Linsey, and Devotion go at it in some green Jell-O!

BW3 goes to his corner and tags in Rick Samson. Both the College Crew lift up Synger to his feet and each one hooks one arm. The boys lift Synger up with a double team double underhook and drop him across their knees in a double team backbreaker.

Pike: Many people don't give credit to the College Crew, but they are quite skilled athletes in that ring!

Hunt: Hey, I've always been down with the College Crew! I almost pledged when I was in college! Suc Mi Phi's got the best parties with the biggest kegs! Beer? Oooowwww!!!!

BW3 goes back to his corner as Samson lifts up Synger and shoves him into a neutral corner. Samson with a flurry of kicks to the midsection of his opponent. Samson whips Synger diagonally across the ring to the opposite corner. Synger hits the turnbuckle hard. Samson, doing some dorky looking pose for his girl Linsey, gathers up a head of steam and charges in. But Synger gets a foot up, catching Samson in the face. Samson staggers back holding his mouth. Synger charges out of the corner and levels Samson with a wicked clothesline.

Pike: You know? I really hate to see two of my favorite teams hurt each other like this!

Hunt: This is what the GZW has been all about! Great competition between great competitors!

With Samson still holding his mouth on the mat, Synger lifts him to his feet and then drops the College Crew's face down to the knee, a la HHH. Synger, with a smirk on his face, lifts Samson back up to his feet and drops him on his head with a DDT. Synger then drags Samson back to the corner and tags in Threatt. The self-proclaimed “Wrestling’s Sexiest Woman” cheers her men on.

Pike: I may not approve of Endangered Species actions lately, but they sure have impressed me in the ring!

Synger lifts up Samson and drops him with a vertical suplex. With Samson down, Threatt slingshots himself over the top rope and drops a leg drop across the throat of Samson. The cover by Threatt, but Samson kicks out at two.

BW3 bounces off the ropes and ducks a clothesline. BW3 bounces off the far ropes. Threatt catches him coming off the far ropes and simply plants him down hard to the ring with a huge spinebuster.

Pike: Wowsers! What impact on that spinebuster!

Threatt gets back up to his feet and sees Heather and Linsey on the floor, pleading for BW3 to get up. Not one to ever resist the ladies and alcohol, Threatt looks to the sorority girls and goes out to the floor.

Pike: What is he doing?

Hunt: You know it's all about sippin' some syrup and hoochies!

Threatt approaches Heather and Linsey on the floor, holding out his hands as if he were saying "Hey ladies! What's up?" But Samson will not stand for this as he gets down on the floor. Samson charges at Threatt with fists flying. Synger leaves his corner and charges at Samson to join the fray. Samson and Synger end up brawling at ringside. Ref Bright goes out to the floor to try and break up the melee.

Hunt: Come on guys! This is a shame! Two teams that are so alike in so many ways should not be fighting! Screw the girls! As the old saying goes, "Bros before hoes!"

As Synger and Samson are on the floor duking it out with Ref Bright trying to reason with them, Threatt stands on the Coliseum floor. BW3 sneaks up from behind Threatt. BW3 is on the apron above, leaps off and drops an axhandle from behind on the head of Threatt. BW3 then rolls Threatt back into the ring.

Pike: Brent Wellington III is calling for Rick Samson’s Upperclassman! (Stalling brainbuster)

As BW3 lifts up Threatt to his feet...

Pike: Coming down to ringside! It’s Battlecry!

Hunt: I thought I smelled cheese! Can we ever have a tag team match without confusion!

Battlecry comes down to the ringside area. He grabs a beer bottle from the College Crew's cooler. Battlecry then slides into the ring. He taps BW3 on the shoulder. BW3 turns around only to get "christened" over the head with a glass beer bottle.

Hunt: No! What a waste of good refreshing beer!

Pike: Battlecry did it to avenge the beating he took when he first came into the GZW!

Des and Kombat leave the ring and back up the ramp to a roaring crowd. Threatt, not one to let an opportunity like this go by, covers the fallen BW3. Ref Bright sees the cover in the ring, slides in and makes the count.

1…2…

Pike: Three! Endangered Species beat the College Crew here tonight!

Hunt: With some help from that no-good beer wasting Boston Crème pie punk! Damn him!

Threatt and Synger have their hands raised in victory as “Sexy Bitch” Devotion gets in the ring to celebrate with her boys. Samson, Heather and Linsey check on their fallen comrade.

Pike: Another GZW show and things are seriously heating up in the tag team ranks!

---Outlaw Wales vs. “Fairplay Enforcer” Sho Murakame---

Pike: Up next, we will see the “Fairplay Enforcer” Sho Murakame take on Outlaw Wales!

Hunt: I wouldn't want to tangle with the HKWF Badd Bull! Sincere already gave Outlaw permission to hurt Bugboy anyway he could!

Pike: Outlaw Wales admitted on GZW Television this weekend that it was him and Prey who contracted the young hoodlums to destroy Mrs. M’s!

Hunt: Never liked her food anyway! Always gave me the shi…

Outlaw Wales enters the ring as the fans boo him. With a mean look on his face, Outlaw looks to notch a victory here tonight.

The fans erupt as the “Things I’ve Seen” by Spooks plays and Sho Murakame, with a black armband wrapped around his tricep in honor of the passed Tate Troublesome, makes his entrance. Outlaw runs out to the rampway to meet the fan favorite.

Pike: Wales is taking the fight to Murakame in the aisle!

Hunt: Bugboy’s heart can’t be in this! His mind has got to still be on his Bad Company running mate!

Pike: Well Murakame has already stated in interviews that after this match he will be retiring!

The two men brawl up the ramp and onto the stage. Outlaw slams Sho's head into a steel post on the stage. Outlaw Wales looks to the booing crowd. Outlaw goes for a vertical suplex on the stage, but Sho blocks it, then reverses it.

Hunt: The same one he had dislocated this summer by his half-brother Len DuBray! (OOC: Check out the Dark Horizon PPV on the PPV site…Tate)

Outlaw moves behind Sho, hooks him and then drops him with a belly to back suplex. Outlaw then looks to the booing crowd. The StormRider waits for Sho to get up to his feet. He moves in behind the Fairplay Enforcer...

Pike: Outlaw Wales locks in a katahijime (tazzmission)!

Hunt: That's it! Make his Peacekeeping butt tap out!

Sho breaks out of the hold with a back kick to the groin. With the hold broken and Outlaw stunned, Sho bounces off the ropes and drops him with a forearm smash. Outlaw slowly gets up near the ropes. Sho charges and clotheslines the bigger man out of the ring.

Pike: Out goes Outlaw Wales! He hits the floor hard! But look! Out from the crowd! It's Elijah Threatt and Joseph “Lost Soul” Synger!

Hunt: What is Endangered Species doing here! Didn’t they get enough action by beating down the College Crew earlier?

The self-proclaimed “Bash Brothers of Wrestling” with baseball bat beats in hand beat down Outlaw at ringside. Ref Newman calls for the bell to the end the match.

Pike: I guess Outlaw Wales wins the match by DQ!

Hunt: If winning means getting pummeled with metal bats by Endangered Species, I'd be happy to lose anytime!

As Sho stands in the ring confused by the attack at ringside, another man makes his presence felt.

Pike: Sincere, the Interim Deputy Commissioner, is running down to the ring!

Hunt: Woohoo! The professor of psychological warfare and mastermind of mindgames!

The BlackHeart slides into the ring and blindsides Sho with a clothesline from behind.

Pike: Sincere attacks Murakame from behind! Endangered Species is beating down Outlaw Wales! This is chaos!

Sincere applies his Jaws of the Dragon (chicken wing submission) on Sho in the center of the ring as Ref Newman tries in vain to break the hold.

Pike: We've lost all control!

Hunt: I think I like it!!!

Pike: Someone needs to stop the Interim Deputy Commissioner! This is Murakame’s last match for goodness sake!

Hunt: Come on, Donutboy! Now that Pride is complete, Maxx Pain is going to rip a new one for the Champion of the People!

"My Way" by Limp Bizkit hits the speakers as Maxx Pain makes his way to the ring for the third time tonight. The fans boo the Pride member. Maxx grabs a few ringside fans' signs, ripping them up.

“I AMMM NUMBERRR ONEEEE!!!”

The fans pop as T-Rex makes his entrance. The large man slowly makes his way down the ramp. Maxx goes to the floor and the two men slug it out in the rampway.

Pike: Pain taking the fight to the floor before the match even starts! It is obvious that T-Rex is an “Old Guard” target of Pride!

Maxx whips Rex into the steel steps. Maxx then rolls Rex into the ring. Maxx steps back into the ring as the fans boo him. Rex gets back up to his feet. Maxx rips off several punches to the head of the big man, but Rex stands his ground. He grabs Maxx by the armpits and tosses him across the ring. Maxx gets back up and rushes at Rex, but Maxx instead gets picked up and dropped with a sideslam.

Pike: T-Rex is manhandling Maxx Pain! That is not easy to do!

With Maxx on the mat, Rex bounces off the ropes and drops a huge elbow drop to the chest. Maxx gets up slowly and gets clotheslined out of the ring by Rex.

Pike: Out goes Maxx Pain! The fans are cheering wildly for their champion! Pain is back up on the apron now. T-Rex moves in, but Pain grabs the Rex's head and drops him throat first across the top rope!

Hunt: Imagine if GoldenEye and Deacon Kane were in the ring right now! I don’t think GZW owns a ring strong enough to hold all four of those guys?!

Maxx steps back into the ring as Rex holds his throat. Maxx unleashes an onslaught of stiff kicks to the body and head of his opponent. Rex gets up slowly to his feet and gets dropped back down with a running big boot to the face by Maxx.

Pike: Down goes T-Rex courtesy of a vicious running mafia kick! Maxx Pain's feet are deadly weapons!

Hunt: Your feet are deadly too Donutboy! I can smell them from here!

Maxx gets up slowly and gets leveled with a clothesline. Rex lifts Maxx up and whips him to the ropes. Maxx bounces back. Rex with a huge powerslam.

Pike: T-Rex with a ring rattling powerslam! Wait! Look who's coming down to ringside with another steel chair! It's Justin Sharp! Don’t these guys get enough?

Hunt: And like Inglewood, you know he'll be up to no good!

Pike: But wait! Coming down the ramp to tackle him is Nathaniel Davis! It was Nathaniel Davis and T-Rex who came down to ringside earlier to help save El Gambit from his vicious attack by all three members of Pride!

The fans pop as Davis intercepts Sharp on the rampway. The Peacekeeper and the Pride brawl in the aisle and back up the ramp to the backstage area. Meanwhile in the ring, Rex's attention is to what is going on outside. Maxx gets back up to his feet. When Rex turns around, he gets nailed in the face with a massive clothesline.

Pike: Damn! Pain cleaned T-Rex's clock with that! Now the member of Pride is lifting T-Rex up and calling for the Aftermath! He's got the urinage on, but I don't know if he can lift him! T-Rex breaks free and counters out of it with a DDT!

Hunt: No!

Maxx gets back up to his feet. Rex Irish whips him to the ropes, and then plants him into the mat with a St. Louis Takeout (Farooq style spinebuster). The fans erupt, as they know that is the prelude to Rex’s finisher. Rex then lifts Maxx up and drops him on front first with the...

Pike: Extinction! (reverse powerbomb) That should do it!

The count from Ref Albertson.

1…2…

Pike: Three! “The Enforcer” T-Rex wins it in impressive fashion here tonight!

The fans are on there feet, cheering for the Champion of the People.

Hunt: This isn’t over yet!

As Rex stands on the turnbuckle, his back facing the rampway, arms raised in victory, he never notices Adam Cage running down the rampway at full speed with a long chain in his hands. Cage slides into the ring and loops the chain around Rex’s neck. With a huge yank the Enforcer falls to the mat, the life being choked out of him.

Pike: This is sick and disgusting! Someone has to stop these Pride guys!

Hunt: Pride is what this company needs!

Maxx gets back to his feet and sees that Cage has Rex in a predicament. Maxx quickly capitalizes by sliding out the ring, grabs the chair from ring announcer Herbert Torres, and gets back into the ring. Once back in the ring, Maxx starts wailing away with chairshots after chairshots on the well documented injured ribs of T-Rex.

Pike: CHOCOLATE COVERED DUNKIN’ DONUTS!! Someone stop this!!

Referees and officials flood the ring breaking up the mad scene. Maxx and Cage, swinging the chain, make there way up the rampway to a chorus of boos.

Hunt: What a night it has been for Pride!

Hunt: Shhh! Here comes the Champ!

The familiar sounds of Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog" plays as the GZW Heavyweight Champion Deacon Kane makes his entrance. The fans welcome the champion with deafening boos as the giant slowly makes his way down the ramp towards the ring.

Pike: Here he comes! The Wicked One, Deacon Kane!

Both competitors stand in opposite corners in the ring. Senior Referee Richard Dark holds up the GZW Heavyweight Title belt for all to see. The bell sounds and the match is underway. The two titans stand toe to toe as the tension builds. Deacon, with an evil smirk, backs up a step and does an "RVD-esque" motion, his thumbs pointing to himself.

Pike: The Champ is trying to taunt Bond! Deacon with a shove pushes Bond back! But he comes back with fists a flying! Rapid rights and lefts rocking the jaw of the Heavyweight Champion!

Pike: What a move by Billy Bond!

Hunt: Yes!!! Now it's Deacon's turn! The Heavyweight Champion drops Billy boy throat first down onto the COLD HARD STEEL RAIL!!! Can you dig that? I know I can!!!

Pike: Hunt a huge fan of the massive monster I take it. Now look at the big man, choking Bond with television cables right in front of us!

Hunt: Oh that's fine! Go ahead and disqualify him! That will still make him Heavyweight Champion!

With Smooth down after the short arm clothesline, Deacon drops a huge elbow drop to the chest. The big man then gets up and stands on the challenger's chest, all 478 pounds crushing the ribs of Smooth. As Deacon stands on Smooth's chest with his toes pointing at Smooth's face, Deacon jumps straight up and comes crashing down onto his chest with a jumping butt splash, a la the late great Yokozuna's Banzai Drop.

Pike: Deacon Kane's weight and mass comes crashing down onto the chest of Bond! Deacon sits on Bond's chest for the pin! 1…2...no! Bond gets a shoulder up somehow! How did he get out of that?

Hunt: That's a man who takes charge! The professor of psychological warfare and mastermind of mindgames!

Sincere takes off Senior Ref Dark's shirt and pulls it over his own shirt.

Pike: Sincere is making himself the referee! How convenient for Deacon! Sincere is not only his brother-in-law and BlackHeart partner but not trying to become the referee!

Hunt: Kandi Fortune made him the Interim Deputy Commissioner; he's got the authority!

Sincere slides into the ring. Smooth gets up and turns around to see the new ref. Smooth gets in Sincere's face. But this gives Deacon time to get back up to his feet.

Hunt: What?!?

Pike: That's the original ref! Sincere shouldn't even be here!

Hunt: He is the Interim Deputy Commissioner!

Sincere and Senior Ref Dark start to argue at ringside about who should be the referee in this match. The imposing Sincere tries to use his size over Richard Dark to intimidate the Senior Ref, but Senior Ref Dark does not back down, saying that he was assigned to this match by the Booking Committee.

Hunt: This is what's wrong with having referees with backbones!

In the ring, Deacon looks at what is going on out on the floor. The angry Heavyweight Champ then turns his attention back to Smooth. He lifts Smooth up to his feet. Irish whip by Deacon.

With Deacon down, Smooth runs towards the ropes for momentum, but as he bounces off them, Sincere moves into his way and trips him.

Pike: What the hell was that? Sincere tripped Bond!

Hunt: Huh? Maybe he tripped on a rock or on his shoelaces!

Smooth pops right back up and gets in Sincere's face. The Interim Deputy Commissioner backs away from Smooth, but finds himself backed into the corner. The fans cheer wildly for Smooth to hit him. Sincere reaches back and goes to hit Smooth with a huge right hand, but Smooth blocks Sincere’s arm.
