[The crowd go wild as "My Perfect Day" by Feeder hits the PA system and the MWF's flagship show comes to air. Banners are waved at the circling cameras with five and a half thousand fans making a heck of a lot of noise. The MWF logo is floating around on the MaxiTron, around it are the faces of the eight men who will be involved in the Madness Rumble. The camera cuts away from the MaxiTron and we see the MWF's commentary team John Pilkington and Tim Sullivan.]

JP: Welcome one and all to the Maximum Wrestling Federation's Monday Night Dynaite...I suggest you kick back and relax for a fine night of entertainment.

Sully: Relax! I won't be relaxing, we're just two days away from what could be the most important night in the MWF's calender and history and you are talking about relaxing.

JP: Yeah, we can just watch the action unfold.

Sully: I'm going to be on the edge of my seat, tonight is a chance for those eight men to stake their claims...to give the fans some idea of just how much this all means to them.

JP: I guess so, one man who is determined to bring back the glory days of his career is Kid Insanity and we've seen the excellent "Moments of Insanity" show become a cult hit amongst the fans.

Sully: Anarkist and Kid Insanity ended up brawling around the backstage area when they met up face to face...Kid was asking the questions and what resulted was hardly surprising.

JP: These two men are hot tips to go to MAYhem, Kid Insanity's found a new belief and after he beat Jay T and Sterling "Steele" Davis last week he's looking more like the wrestler the MWF signed.

Sully: The fans cheer him as well, they like his style...what they don't realise is that Anarkist is more fired up now than at any time in his MWF career.

JP: If Anarkist was to win and go onto MAYhem to become the MWF World Champion he would become an unequaled three time MWF World Champion.

Sully: He's already a two time MWF World Champion but to become a three time champion that just sets the benchmark.

JP: Ask anyone in the crowd here tonight and they will tell you that Anarkist is going to get a fierce reaction when he walks out here in fourty-eight hours time.

Sully: That is all these men have left to wait, fourty-eight hours of thinking about nothing but the chance to become the number one contender for the MWF World Championship.

JP: We could see a surprise winner, guys like Wildfire have been making rapid progress through the card and he's beginning to rekindle the kind of form that helped him become such a force this time last year.

Sully: I wouldn't count out "Overkill", Scotty Heart and Sean Harley are former tag team partners and now they are back on the same page they could be very dangerous.

JP: "Overkill" are looking to become the dominant MWF stable now that "Twisted Vizion" appear to have gone astray...

Sully: ...I still can't believe it was an inside job, they never saw it coming at all.

JP: Insane Wayne and Iniquity will be one of the most brutal matches of all time, these two men have twice been MWF Tag Team Champions and Wayne helped to bring Iniquity through the ranks.

Sully: Insane Wayne supported Iniquity all the way and this is how he repays him, I knew "Twisted Vizion" had a twisted vision but I never realised that it had influenced Iniquity so much.,

JP: There is so much at stake in their match, not only is the MWF Xtreme Championship up for grabs but there is the chance that one of those two men will be gone by the time we wake up on Thursday morning.

Sully: Walker's signed the match as loser leaves MWF...he's putting Wayne's career in jeopardy.

JP: I know Wayne and Walker go back a long way but it's surprising he's let this happen, we are going to hear from "Twisted Vizion" later tonight.

Sully: Which member?

JP: I believe the MWF President himself is going to address the crowd...he must be wondering how it all happened.

Sully: I'm almost impressed at the treachery of Iniquity, I was convinced it was an outside force and it turns out to be him all along.

JP: Iniquity could be a future MWF World Champion, maybe that is why he's suddenly changed allegiance.

Sully: You think he's jealous of Doomsday?

JP: I think a lot of people are jealous of Doomsday, who wouldn't be...he's the MWF's top wrestler and he's also the number one man in the PWI.

Sully: The MWF faired well in that, PWI has made the MWF the place to be.

JP: You've seen the influx of all these new wrestlers, they keep applying and we keep signing off new contracts.

Sully: It's nice to see some new faces, especially this Gutter Rat guy....bring back the hardcore!

JP: Something tells me Gutter Rat won't be so cocky once he steps in the ring with someone like Jay T...I've seen Jay T last night and he was in sensational form.

Sully: He usually is, he will of course be in action at Madness...unfortunatly he missed out on the rumble as Kid Insanity managed to sneak the win past him.

JP: He will be defending the MWF Tag Team Championships with Scotty Heart though, against The Hobo and EniGma who have been working hard to increase themselves and their image.

Sully: They've made a great transition, I believe they even made it into the PWI top one hundred and I wasn't expected that.

JP: Jay T's ranked highly and Heart didn't do too badly, I am looking forward to seeing what "Overkill" can manage at Madness.

Sully: In theory they could come out with the MWF Tag Team Championships and a number one contender, either Scotty Heart or Sean Harley could take the spot.

JP: If Sean Harley can get past Ernest Reeves and I have a feeling he will struggle...Reeves was stunning last week against Anarkist and was really unlucky to lose.

Sully: Poor guy, he really believes in himself but he's not going to beat Sean Harley.

JP: Harley's so wrapped up in himself he'll never see it coming...

Sully: ...Harley is a new wrestler, I'm seeing a new commitment and drive from Sean Harley and it would explain why he's been placed in the rumble.

JP: He doesn't deserve to be there, he's got such an ego problem that sometimes I wonder just how his brain can fit into that tiny space.

Sully: Just you wait until he beats Ernest Reeves from one end of Cleveland to another and goes on further to capture the number one contender position...the MWF is not a place where you can stay if you're not going to compete and for Harley to have been here this long he must be doing something right!

JP: He's a loser, he keeps losing matches against the top wrestlers and then he'll go and moan before beating a couple of newcomers.

Sully: He does the simple things well and now he just needs to step up his game to take it to the main event level once again...you remember Nightmare.

JP: Yeah, I remember Nightmare and the fact that Sean Harley didn't even manage one pinfall! He was knocked out for most of the match!

Sully: Don't you see JP, that was months ago and now Harley is something else...he's become the "Phoenix" and when he is the "Phoenix" he is unstoppable.

JP: Nightmare was a great show, I think we should take a look back to that incredible evening.

Sully: The night Ace Spade became the MWF World Champion and we rejoiced at the thought of a decent MWF World Champion. A man of honour...

JP: ...of cowardice, what kind of a man runs off leaving the MWF World Champion vacant in the middle of a match!

Sully: Just roll the clip!

JP: We're going to join it with the final pinfall between Troy Knight and Ace Spade that would decide who became the MWF World Champion, really exciting stuff...

{{{[Troy Knight and Ace Spade charge at each other from opposite sides of the ring...Ace Spade connects with a clothesline but Troy Knight doesn't go down...Ace Spade spins around looking for a spinning wheelkick but Troy Knight ducks and Ace Spade slides across the back of Troy Knight and lands on his feet. Spade turns round and gets grabbed by Troy Knight who leaps up and the crowd roar as "Troy Boy" hits a jump swinging DDT. Troy desperatly goes for the pinfall, Charles Galliant counts....1.....2! Ace Spade rolls the shoulder. Troy Knight smiles evily as he walks round to the legs of Ace Spade, "The Player" screams in pain as Troy places his foot in the back of Ace Spade's knee and then wrenches back the calf muscle of Spade. Ace Spade attempts to crawl for the ropes but Troy Knight turns the move into a boston crab and Spade screams in pain as Troy Knight wrenches the hold tighter.]

Sully: Do submissions count?

JP: I guess they do....I don't see why you can't win by a submission.

Sully: I never knew Troy could do technical submission moves....he sure is snapping the leg of Ace Spade in half there.

JP: He's taking revenge for what Ace Spade did to young Bobby Knight by taking out his leg.

["Troy Boy" releases the hold as Ace Spade grabs the ropes, Charles Galliant calling for Knight to release the hold. Troy drops the legs of Ace Spade and stamps savagely on the back of Ace Spade's knee, Spade crys out in pain as Troy lifts up Ace Spade's right leg and slams the knee down into the mat. Troy Knight drops to the mat and places his elbow in the back of Ace Spade's knee and wrenches the leg of Ace Spade back so the elbow is pressured into the back of the knee....the crowd roar as Ace Spade attempts to get to the ropes but Troy Knight pulls him back and keeps the pressure on the hold.]

Sully: Is this what they call working the knee?

JP: I think so! Ace Spade could tap at any moment...we could have a brand new MWF World Champion if Troy Knight can just keep that hold locked in.

Sully: This crowd are going wild, the noise in here is tremendous.

JP: Oh no....

[Ace Spade is slowly fading as Troy Knight keeps the hold on....but the crowds roars have turned to shouts of warning as Sean Harley is on his feet. "Phoenix" slowly looks up and spots Troy Knight's submission hold, the crowd jeer as Harley runs across and stamps on the back of Troy Knight's head. "Troy Boy" rolls away from Ace Spade, Sean Harley grabs the head of Ace Spade and hauls him to his feet...he sends Ace Spade running into the ropes and as he comes back the former MWF Television Champion executes a high angle powerslam. Ace Spade is laid out and Sean Harley goes for the cover.....1.....2! Ace Spade rolls the shoulder.]

Sully: Sean Harley's back! JP you are about to witness one of the greatest comebacks in the history of professional wrestling.

JP: He can't come back from here, it's not possible!

Sully: He sure can, all he has to do is take out Ace Spade and Troy Knight, once he's got both down he can roll over and pin NomaD who is out cold!

JP: Good Lord, he could do it....but not without Dom Stoate, who is more out cold than a polar ice cap.

[Sean Harley gets back to his feet, Troy Knight is slowly standing and Harley runs across and the MWF Television Champion is knocked down by a flying dropkick....Knight is down and Harley in desperation begins to climb the turnbuckle. The crowd jeer as Sean Harley gets up on the top rope...Troy Knight is down on the mat below him and Sean Harley leaps off the top rope looking for a huge moonsault. He sails through the air and the crowd explode as he comes down onto the raised knees of the MWF Television Champion. Harley's face is a picture of pain as he holds his ribs and rolls away clutching them....Troy Knight begins to stand and walks straight into a punch from Ace Spade.]

Sully: I thought Sean Harley had got it then...did you see the elevation he got with that moonsault?

JP: It was incredible! I never thought Harley could moonsault like that, but Troy Knight showing again just how much he wants this victory.

Sully: Ace Spade's back in control, his destiny is in his hands.

[Ace Spade is firing away at Troy Knight who is being forced back towards the turnbuckle....the crowd jeering as Ace Spade out of nowhere drops down and executes the Really Really Low Blow. His forearm crashing into the crotch of Troy Knight and sending the MWF Television Champion down to the mat in a heap. Ace Spade hooks the leg of a suffering Troy Knight and the crowd jeer loudly as Charles Galliant counts.....1.....2..! Troy Knight at the last second kicks out to huge cheers from the crowd.]

Sully: I can hardly keep watching, it's so tense it's unbelievable....Troy Knight was gone then, I am sure Galliant's hand hit the mat for three.

JP: It was so close! You are right JP, you can't help but watch and your eyes just want to look away from all the chaos in the ring.

Sully: Chicago is getting it's money's worth tonight that's for sure....Sean Harley is out, NomaD is out and it's Troy Knight versus Ace Spade for that final pinfall.

JP: Could it get anymore dramatic?

["The Player" is in disbelief as Troy Knight rolls away, still holding his crotch. The crowd jeer as Sean Harley begins to stand, Ace Spade turns round and is dropped to the canvas by a clothesline from Harley....Harley stamps on Ace Spade before turning and walking towards Troy Knight. Harley hauls the MWF Television Champion to his feet and slaps Troy across the face, the crowd jeer as Troy clutches his face and "Phoenix" is suddenly sent reeling as Troy Knight swings round with an ear ringer, the punches fly as Sean Harley is sent back across the ring with an irish whip...as he comes back the crowd explode as the Heaven Sent connects with the jaw of Sean Harley and the former MWF Television Champion collapses to the mat.]

Sully: My God! Sean Harley's just had his jaw disconnected by Troy Knight!

JP: What a move by Troy Knight, that was one hell, one hell of a move....

Sully: Sean Harley's feeling the effects, he's knocked out cold.

JP: It's back to that same old scenario, it's Ace Spade and Troy Knight...the two men both with two pinfalls and it all comes down to one more pinfall, Ace Spade pins Troy Knight he becomes the MWF World Champion....if Troy Knight pins Ace Spade he will become not just the MWF Television Champion but a double champion!

[The crowd are on their feet with excitement as Ace Spade is back on his feet, Troy Knight slides from the ring and the crowd explode as Troy Knight begins searching under the ring. Ace Spade is up and he spots Troy Knight searching under the ring, he walks slowly towards the MWF Television Champion and suddenly stops dead as "Troy Boy" pulls out a ladder from under the ring.]

Sully: Troy Knight's got a ladder! He's got a ladder!

JP: What the....Troy Knight wants to really make Ace Spade suffer tonight, he's pulled a ladder out to beat "The Player".

Sully: One man will have to climb the ladder of success tonight and Troy Knight literally wants to do it.

[Ace Spade seems in disbelief as Troy Knight tosses the ladder into the ring, "The Player" jumps back as Troy Knight slides in. Spade recovers his senses and goes after the ladder, he grabs it and pulls it up and turns round only for "Troy Boy" to kick the ladder smack into the mid-section of "The Player". Ace Spade falls back with the ladder on top of him. Troy Knight smiles to the crowd before taking the leg of Ace Spade and placing it inbetween the sides of the ladder, he snaps them shut on the leg of Ace Spade and the crowd go wild as Troy Knight stamps on the ladder. Ace Spade's leg is squashed by the force of the blow and he screams in pain, his already weakened leg is hit with an elbow drop by Troy Knight. The ladder falls away from Ace Spade's leg and he attempts to stand but his leg buckles underneath him.]

JP: Troy Knight's making an example of Ace Spade, they say evil is dangerous but when Troy Knight wrestles like a God there is not much more Ace Spade can do.

Sully: It's been one hell of a night in Chicago, Illinois, can Ace Spade finish it off in style?

JP: He might get finished off by Troy Knight first!

[Ace Spade is collapsed on the canvas as Troy Knight raises the ladder up from the mat. He snaps it into position and the crowd are roaring him on as he begins to climb up it....he makes his way rung by run until he's half way up. He turns to check that Ace Spade is still down and smiles as Ace Spade is down clutching his leg...Troy Knight continues to move up the ladder when Ace Spade rolls over and pulls himself to his feet. The crowd are shouting with warning as Ace Spade begins to climb up the ladder after Troy Knight...the MWF Television Champion turns round and is shocked to see "The Player" hauling himself up the ladder.]

Sully: He's alive! You can't keep Ace Spade down for long.

JP: As Troy is finding out right about now...do something Troy.

["The Player" is dragging himself up the ladder by his arms and one good leg, his other leg hanging limp...Troy Knight holds on tight to the ladder and swings around the side so that he is on the opposite side of the ladder. Both Sean Harley and NomaD are still down and out...Troy Knight reaches the top of the ladder and the crowd roar as he leans over and brings down a blow to the top of Ace Spade's head..."The Player" is completely unphased by the blow and he continues hauling himself up the ladder.]

Sully: Look at the strength of Ace Spade! He knows the MWF World Championship is on the line, the biggest prize of the MWF is there for the taking...tonight is going to be a dream come true for Ace Spade.

JP: But a Nightmare for the rest of the Maximum Wrestling Federation if he manages to wrench the belt away from Troy Knight...."Troy Boy" has to win, he has to.

Sully: He'd be greedy, MWF Television and World Championships, that is too much for one man.

[Troy Knight swings at Ace Spade who is now level with "Troy Boy" but Ace Spade ducks the blow and reaches up and grabs Troy. The MWF Television Champion is stunned...the cameras flash as Ace Spade holding onto Troy Knight leaps off the ladder. The crowd stare in horror as Ace Spade executes The Royal Flush off the top of the ladder....twisting Troy Knight's neck in mid-air, they slam down into the mat and the impact forces the ladder to topple over...both men are laid out on the canvas. Bobby Knight is sobbing at ringside, Doris Spade has her arms around the young boy.]

JP: GOOD LORD! ACE SPADE AND TROY KNIGHT JUST FELL OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER!

Sully: Ace Spade hit The Royal Flush off the top of the ladder! Troy Knight is never getting up again...

JP: I can't believe this is happening...

[Blood is coming from the mouth of Troy Knight, neither man has moved and the crowd are desperate in their attempts to revive Troy Knight. A huge "Troy Boy" chant is going around the ring...but a scream of horror goes up from the crowd as a bloodied and bruised Ace Spade drapes an arm over Troy Knight, a look of greed in his eyes as Charles Galliant, shirtless and tired slaps the canvas, the crowd stunned as the hand hits.....1......2.......3!]

Sully: It's over! It's over! My God, Ace Spade is the new MWF World Champion!

JP: This can't be happening, how did he do it?

Sully: Through sheer hard work, he's a champion now...there is no denying Ace Spade's ability, he's the MWF World Champion! He's finally beaten Troy Knight down!

[Peter Santos makes his way towards the ring, the crowd are not even jeering they are so shocked at what has just happened. The MWF World Championship belt is picked up by Charles Galliant and the crowd recover their composure to jeer Ace Spade loudly as he raises the belt to the crowd. The cameras flash as Ace Spade turns and shakes the hand of Peter Santos, who bellows.]

Peter Santos: And your winner, and new MWF World Champion, Ace Spade!]}}}

JP: Ah, it takes me back...

Sully: ...the MWF was in need of someone like Ace Spade and they found an MWF World Champion who went beyond all expectations.

JP: I always thought Ace Spade would stay in the midcard, but all credit to him he build himself a legacy and he will always be remembered.

Sully: He would be furious to know that his MWF World Championship has gone to Doomsday, just handed to that pretender!

JP: Well NomaD's after it now, Spade and NomaD met a few times and also NomaD and Doomsday have some history.

Sully: NomaD has history with just about everyone in the MWF!

JP: He's a dirty fighter but you can never fault his commitment, he'll fight until there is nothing left of his body and I'd still be scared of him even if he had no legs!

Sully: I wouldn't go that far...how many dangerous men have no legs?

JP: I'm sure there is one somewhere and I reckon NomaD would be pretty lethal.

Sully: We've got two rookies up next who might as well just be wrestling with their legs...

JP: That's a bit harsh!

Sully: But they are, these guys don't deserve the chance in the MWF...they're not exactly setting the world on fire right now.

JP: If we'd of taken that attitude many of wrestlers who are now household names in the MWF wouldn't be here right now. The MWF's three week trial system was a brave and clever move by the management.

Sully: It all produces some terrible failures, like Steven Douglas and Jamie Marley, a Jamaican wrestler?

JP: Sullivan! Marley's got quite a future ahead of him....

Sully: Selling weed is always a future.

JP: You are stereotyping him already, like what you said about Harlem earlier today...

Sully: Was just stating the obvious, the guy has a serious crime problem and I think he should only be allowed into the arena for matches and then escorted out by police after every match.

JP: You're losing the plot Sully, soon we'll have the MWF President under CCTV...

Sully: ...after what happened with "Twisted Vizion" I think we'll see a lot of paranoid CCTV freaks out there...I still think Ed's behind everything bad that happens in the MWF.

JP: Have you ever thought, just for a second that maybe every single thing Walker does is for the good of the MWF? It's people like General Manager Dom Stoate who spend their whole lives trying to wreck the MWF President's best laid plans.

Sully: Stoate's a decent man and I hope we're going to hear from him soon, we don't see enough of our General Manager.

JP: He's been busy trying to turn EniGma and The Hobo into the next MWF Tag Team Champions and they've managed to swindle a shot at the belts at March Madness.

Sully: They are not swindling anyone, Hobo and EniGma are the "Bad Medicine" that might just cure the MWF.

JP: How can those two bumbling idiots be classed as contenders for the MWF Tag Team Championships, as much as I don't like Scotty Heart and Jay T at least they have the talent!

Sully: I think we're going to hear from the MWF General Manager right now, we're going backstage....
