THUNDERKISS vs. TIEREN HAWKINS vs. FRANK CANNON vs. MANHATTAN WHITE [/u] The first thing that happens for the opening contest is that Reggie Schmidt comes out having and declares that this match is to ensure their survival as a member of the Asylum roster and that whoever wins keeps their contract while the others find their asses collecting welfare cheques. Immediately, the dark soul Thunderkiss goes right on the warpath and starts beating on Manhattan White while Tieren Hawkins squares off against Frank Cannon. Quickly a tag element starts to form and soon TK and Manhattan White are double teaming Frank Cannon once Kiss has successfully launched Hawkins into the eighth row with a colossal body slam. Kiss and Manhattan White then proceed to throw Frank Cannon out of the ring before squaring off against one another. Kiss looks to have the advantage but suddenly Frank Cannon comes charging back into the ring on a warpath. First down is Kiss after he takes a Face the Music to the face. Manhattan White is next to follow after an FYL. Tieren who's also bloodied up from crashing face first into a chair in the crowd comes running back in and tastes a Face the Music of his own. With adrenaline surging through the Bostoner's body he looks ready for anything. The only man standing in the ring, he finds himself face to face with Thunderkiss who's hauled himself up off the ground but Cannon has none of it and hits Face the Music for the third time in a minute before locking in The Departed forcing The God of Thunder to tap out. The bell rings and Frank Cannon's arm is raised, declaring him the winner. WINNER: “Old Man” Frank Cannon[/center] As The Tap Out Challenge Special opens, the still as night atmosphere in the Asylum Arena is positively palpable with hushed voices and anticipation being the order of the day for the audience in attendance. It's a dark and tense contrast to the usual whooping and screaming of the APW diehards as almost every single fan in the building is deathly silent and hush hush in heated waiting for the events that are about to unfold right before our very eyes. What event could be so unrivalled in its incredible awe that it completely silences its viewers like this? Is it the a gruelling and epic battle between Sally Talfourd and Jason Kash? Is it the long awaited return of an APW legend? No. The answer is quite a lot more simple than that. It's time for the Pro Life era to arrive. Dominating centre stage in a make-shift office in the centre of the ring is Michael Callahan with an unusual level of calm permeating around the young and always feisty Republican. With a stern posture and focused yet calm gaze towards the entranceway he sits perfectly upright having a final read through the documents he has rigorously prepared for this evening. Documents which he hopes will give him the power to create an entire new glorious layer to the start of his much fantasised epic wrestling legacy. Joining him for his “moment” are an entire platoon of Callahan's personal troop of choice, lawyers. Their black, white and gray camouflage uniforms disguises an unmatchable level of legal knowledge carried amongst them like a weapon of mass destruction waiting to tear asunder the foundations of APW of history forever. Michael Callahan: Ladies and gentlemen at this time I would like you all to pause and take in the magnitude of the situation right now. What you are about to witness is wrestling history in the making as I, Michael Callahan get what I promised you all as a duly elected representative. Yes, that's right people! I'm talking about the official inception of the Pro Life Championship. Everything has been fine tooth combed and it's all laid out within this contract prepared by my friends, the good people at Berkley and Zoidberg Partnership Lawyers who join me here today. Without them, this would not be possible right now!Nailz: What a smug and arrogant piece of garbage!Beckett: I want to like Callahan, I really do, but his anti-hardcore stance is ridiculous, especially considering that hardcore is what the Asylum was built on!A collective booing ensues as the smug collective of lawyers wring their hands in glee, armed with the knowledge that they're in for a fat pay day when this one's over. Callahan quickly returns order with a clearing of his throat to silence his disobedient audience. Michael Callahan: So, here's what is going to happen right here and now. Tonight, Reginald Schmidt is going to come out here and sign this contract giving me full power to render the APW Suicidal Championship obsolete and in it's place instate my new Pro Life Championship which, might I add, has officially been made and is with me here tonight. Mr. Zoidberg, if you will?The eldest of the lawyer tribe steps forward holding a mysterious, heavy object with a shrouding black cloth draped over the top to suspend the audiences eagerness to see it. Callahan impatiently yanks the veil away while Zoidberg lifts the new title high in the air to reveal the unsightly and disturbed rebirth of the Suicidal Championship. I may have described it as unsightly but these fans weren't spared the horror and neither will you be. Here for your viewing pleasure is of course the all new Pro Life Championship, courtesy of Blade. A gripping stunned silence takes precedent over all rational thought for a brief moment as the crowd try and process what they have just witnessed. Callahan doesn't allow them the grace to respond though and continues to rant regardless of their collective response to his “innovations”. Michael Callahan: Behold, the symbol of all that is pure! Wrestling will never be the same again! Now Schmidt, get your waste of space carcass out here and sign this damn contract so we can bring about the changes that these people want!As usual it doesn't take long for the American Hero to get his way and before long the sound of “Never Gonna Give You Up/Smells Like Teen Spirit” resonates through the sound system announcing the arrival of Asylum's head honcho. Schmidt wastes little time making his way out to the ring, notably with a folder of his own clasped almost to the point of crushing in his right hand. Despite the intimidating canvas painted for him with about eleven lawyers, an office camp in his own ring and the determined young Callahan awaiting him the usually bumbling Schmidt shows no fear because it's ultimately HIS museum. He slides straight into the ring with gusto and storms towards Callahan with his folder and boldly slams it down before The American Hero. Reginald Schmidt: Read this, Mister!Michael Callahan: What is it?Reginald Schmidt: It's a resolution. You wanted me to cave or give you a counter offer. This is my counter offer. You want to settle this once and for all? You've got it. I've drawn this contract up and if you accept it, it'll make things a little bit more interesting at Mania!Michael Callahan: Forget interesting. Tell me why I shouldn't just sue you into oblivion and bury your rotting soul under so much debt that you'll end up fossilised with the dinosaurs?Reginald Schmidt: Because court proceedings take far too much time. You and I both know this well. It'll be at least nine months before we actually see a court date and by then, you might not even be working for this company the way things are going. Not to mention the fact that if I did end up having to pay you, the way my wife blows through my paychecks would make it very difficult to give you a blind cent, let alone one you can use! So I've made you an ultimatum and with no extra effort to you, it ties in with your match at Rasslemania.The crowd all at once rise from their seats and roar the lion's roar in perfect unison at the mention of the man who hopes to dethrone the duly elected wrestling representative in just under a month's time. The sight of an entire sea of people rising to show their undying admiration is inspiring to say the least and even Callahan himself is taken aback by the reception his mention gets. Michael Callahan: I'm listening.Reginald Schmidt: I'll put it simply because I'm not a lawyer. You defend your title against “The Virus” Chris McKenzie at Rasslemania and if you win? Well, you can have your Pro Life Championship and can darn well consider yourself the last ever Suicidal Champion too. You can have your title, your ushering in of a new generation of old style wrestling and all that hoohaw. On top of that, referencing what I said before about you no longer being here come the court date I'll give you a brand new contract with a five percent pay rise, a clause that says I can't fire you and the option to leave the contract responsibility free so long as you give me a week's notice. Although I would not agree to a clause where you could give me a wet willie at will.Needless to say the crowd aren't happy with the possibility of Callahan not only possibly keeping his title but getting a huge array of perks to go along with it but it also goes without saying that they're on the edge of their seat to see what Callahan says next. Callahan takes the contract from the folder like a gun out of the sheath and starts to leaf through it carefully checking the calibre of the ammunition so to speak. His lawyer Mark Zoidberg peers over his shoulder with a pen to assess the material in question. After some hushed whispers between the two Callahan finally returns to eyeing up Schmidt, his suspicions flared by the Callahan family axiom of questioning anything seemingly too good to be true. Michael Callahan: What's the catch, Schmidt?Reginald Schmidt: There is a forfeit, you're right. You got me. Y'see with a piece of work like you who's tried to game the system and destroy this place the way you have simply taking the title away from you isn't enough. If we're going to have this be the final encounter we want to ensure this never happens again. So to prevent you from taking the hardcore out of Asylum we're officially stripping you of title ownership rights in your contract... It doesn't stop there either. If you lose you have to embrace the “hardcore” lifestyle that Asylum is all about. So if you lose you have to have the dirtiest, sleaziest, disease ridden hooker or stripper we can find be your ringside manager for an entire YEAR. And no, my wife is not an option, you sick bum!Callahan doesn't even attempt to facade his sheer outrage at the stipulation being proposed. In fact it's openly propelled into the souring atmosphere by his rocketing up from his seat in sheer defiance. Callahan's face turns the colour of sun-dried tomato's as he roars retaliation at Schmidt's suggestion with gusto. It's a reaction that the crowd positively eat up with raucous laughter as Callahan loses his bearings over just the thought that somebody could cook up a crazy idea like that. Michael Callahan: How DARE you. Talk about a step too far! You want to saddle me with THAT kind of stipulation? The championship ownership rights I can agree with but this? THIS is unacceptable and you know it Schmidt!Reginald Schmidt: I thought you were the American Hero, up to any and all challenges?Michael Callahan: You're talking about me being contractually obliged to associate with a sex industry worker here. You KNOW that would drive me to the brink of suicide itself, never mind insanity and you should know that's not a threat I would make lightly!Reginald Schmidt: Well it's up to you Callahan. Because you can stick your court case up your behind! I'll strip you of the title and fire you so fast your head will spin. What for? I don't know yet but I run this place and I'm sure if I dig hard enough I'll stumble across some reason or another to get you thrown out of here. Now either take it or leave it. We can have the title match the normal way and you can forget your Pro Life title, you can pursue your court case and effectively blacklist yourself from the wrestling industry or we can make things interesting and potentially beneficial for a man who apparently is going to dominate at Rasslemania and get what you want. What's it to be? Put up or shut up.Callahan looks to Zoidberg for something, ANYTHING that he can potentially throw back at him but the lawyer's deadpan expression says it all. He completely agrees with Schmidt and he's not even going to try and begin to convince anyone otherwise. Callahan finally turns back to Schmid as rational thought returns to him following the outburst. Michael Callahan: You want me to risk my pride and my engagement for my Pro Life movement?Reginald Schmidt: If you want to try and destroy what makes this company what it is and replace it with your own idea of what you think it should be then yeah, I want you to risk it.Everything grinds to a halt for just that one moment as Callahan stares bullet holes into Schmidt's proposed contract. Everything or nothing. Either he goes big with Pro Life or goes home empty handed. All at the biggest show of the year. Fitting really. After deliberation that feels like an age he finally unsheathes the pen from the clipboard like the mightiest of swords and with it he well and truly slays all doubt regarding his decision. He signs the contract right on the dotted line same as he's done a thousand times before in his career. It's an action accompanied by a colossal roar of approval from the Asylum fanbase regardless. The stakes are rising to a whole new level for Rasslemania and the Suicidal Champion. Reginald Schmidt: Well then it's settled, all we need now is for Chris McKenzie to sign it and then we're good to go.As if on cue Chris McKenzie sending the fans absolutely bananas as he instinctively unleashes Hell on whoever he can get a hold of. Within seconds of his arrival he's on the war path, clothslining two lawyers simultaneously over the top rope while the rest quickly vacate the ring with McKenzie having used absolute crippling fear to clean house and send Callahan's tough army of lawyers running for cover to avoid the infection. With only Schmidt and Callahan left as potential victims for the unquenched blood lust of The Virus, McKenzie locks his target and flies over the desk crashing into Callahan taking the office chair with him. McKenzie starts swinging the crazy hands to bring the pain to his Rasslemania opponent, a stampeding flurry caving in the head of the Suicidal Champion. Beckett: Finally that smug ass Callahan is getting the beating he deserves!Nailz: This is exactly what Callahan has coming to him at RassleMania!Whirling around at breakneck speed The Virus starts drawing up designs to make a bold statement for Callahan and it starts with clearing the contract signing table. Back to Callahan, he yanks the tipped office chair out from underneath Callahan and carelessly launches it out the ring. With the freedom to move as he pleases in the ring he crouches down low next to Callahan, staring blankly at his limp body and waiting for him to get to his feet. Everyone in attendance can see what The Virus wants to do and that's leave The American Hero in a pile of splinters. That's not a motion they want to veto either. Beckett: Here comes Callahan's assistant Steve Fukuyama to make the save!As called by Becktt, Fukuyama slithers in under the bottom rope and boldly perhaps even suicidally decides to grab McKenzie by his shoulders. Even more dangerously, Fukuyama decides to whirl around The Virus and deliver a vicious, stinging, ego-rupturing back hand slap which stops The Virus dead in his tracks. Everything suddenly goes deathly silent as the gravity of what just happened hits everyone except for Steve himself. Steve Fukuyama: Get your hands off the Suicidal Champion you deadbeat thug!Maybe if Steve had stopped at just grabbing McKenzie to prevent him putting his boss through a table The Virus might've felt inclined to let the interruption go but the red mark that's now printed across his cheek is enough provocation for the redirection of traffic. Instead of finishing off Callahan, McKenzie settles for Fukuyama first and drops him with a thunderous Comatose State. The brutal Diamond Cutter plants Fukuyama's head into the ground with a mighty thump prompting the crowd to go bananas again. Nailz: What a manuever!It's not over yet either. Straight back up, The Virus wants to infect his Rasslemania opponent just like he did to Fukuyama but when he turns to find Callahan he sees that he's already high-tailing. Slithering up the entrance ramp like a petrified snake, Chris's blood boils even closer to incandescent at the realisation Callahan's left with both the Suicidal and Pro Life championships over his shoulders. Chris is never one to get mad though. He gets even. Beckett: That rotten Callahan has gotten away without going Comatose, though I doubt he'll be so lucky at Mania! McKenzie looks so angry he could rip his own head off!Regaining his composure McKenzie quickly grabs the contract from Schmidt and holds it up for the fans to see before unsheathing the sword again to clash with Callahan by signing his own name on the dotted line. It's official now. This gesture alone brings a panicked expression to the Republican, his heart already racing and his pulse thinning as the seconds goes by. What he does next though is even more terrifying. Grabbing Fukuyama by his mussed up jet black hair he uproots him from his planting in the ground and brings him towards the contract table. He lines up a second Comatose State, this one though to plunge Fukuyama right through the table.. Beckett: If McKenzie can't unleash his rage on Callahan then somebody has to be the fall guy! Sadly, it's this guy!The blood drains out of Callahan's face faster like his soul is being sucked out through his shoes and his cheeks go as white and ruddy as his now crumpled shirt. He then and there almost contemplates running back down to the ring to make a desperate bid to save his assistant. It's too late though and before he can act The Virus hits Comatose State bringing the man who foolishly put his life on the line to save Callahan crashing through a wooden table. The devastating move makes a deafening snap like thunder and the flash too as thousands of camera's all go off at once capturing Callahan's most morbid hour on camera. Nailz: OH MY! He put him through the table! He may have a broken neck after that! Look at the look on Callahan's face! This is the man that he has to step into the ring with in only three weeks at Rasslemania!Beckett: And I can't wait for it! These two are going to kill each other!And with it all said and done, “Monster” by Skillet plays as the scene draws to a fade with a closing shot of Callahan staring flabbergasted at a defiant Chris McKenzie while a horde of desperate EMT's flood the ring to tend to the injured Fukuyama. This beef just got mighty personal. Nailz: Well folks, we have a huge night of action in store for the Tap Out Challenge Special tonight! Of course we have three more matches in the Tap Out Challenge series, as well as that arrogant punk Michael Callahan coming back out to face Team Ayslum member Alyssa Casteele in a non-title match!Beckett: And in our main event, making her in-ring return to Asylum, Sally Talfourd takes on the APW World Heavyweight Champion Jason Kash in a non-title contest! What a match heading into RassleMania for both competitors!The scene cuts backstage where Phil is standing with Chaz Dillinger. Chaz looks ready for his match with Dan Quinn, as his eyes are full of intensity. Phil: Chaz, first I’d like to thank you for giving me a minute of your time. Secondly, I’d like to get your thoughts on both Havok’s decision to take on President Jeff at RassleMania, and your match with Dan Quinn this evening.Dillinger: Well… You’re welcome for the time. But as far as Nathaniel Havok goes… His business, is his business. His beef with President Jeff, has nothing to do with Chaz Dillinger.Phil: But you’d have to agree… This does effect the Cult of Personality, if he loses.Dillinger: The Cult?Phil: Yeah…Chaz chuckles. Dillinger: The Cult will be fine. Either way, the cult will be fine. But you talk as if Nathaniel Havok is going to lose! I don’t think that he could put his career on the line, if he thought that there was any chance that he would lose.Phil shrugs his shoulders, semi-agreeing with what Chaz is saying. Dillinger: And as far as Dan Quinn goes… There’s really nothing to say. Tonight… Dan Quinn taps out! I guarantee it!Dillinger smirks into the camera. He then scoffs, and walks off. the scene cuts to commercial. Nailz: Chaz Dillinger takes on Dan Quinn after the break! |

Asylum comes back on the air with Dan Quinn already in the ring, his music blaring over the speakers. The fans are booing him loudly as footage of him beating Rhonda Vixen sensless from last week's Asylum replays on the Action-Tron. Nailz: Dan Quinn's actions last week were nothing short of inexcusable! Even after the bell rung, he continued to beat down an unconcious Rhonda Vixen, causing the ref to declare last week's match a no contest! Quinn has to win out to be able to have any chance of qualifying for the Tap Out Title Match at RassleMania!Beckett: He has a tall task ahead of him, as his opponent tonight is in a three way tie for first place, none other than America's Most Wanted, Chaz Dillinger!“All About the Benjamin’s” starts to play on the loudspeaker as the fans begin to boo very loud. Chaz Dillinger makes his way out from the back, holding onto a towel that is laid across the back of his neck. With Helena in toe, Chaz pays no attention the fans who are trying to boo him out of the building. Stenfelder: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is part of the Tap Out Challenge! Already in the ring, weighing in at 260 pounds, from London, England, “The British Brawler” Dan Quinn! And his opponent, approaching the ring, accompanied by Helena, weighing in tonight at 258 pounds, from New York, New York, “America's Most Wanted” Chaz Dillinger!He casually walks down the ramp and climbs the stairs, stepping into the ring as Helena stays outside so her man can have the spotlight. He runs the ropes a few times before taking the towel off of the back of his neck, and throwing it into the crowd. He then takes off his robe, and hands it to Helena on the outside as his music dies out. With both men in the ring, the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING! Tap Out Challenge Match
Chaz Dillinger vs. Dan Quinn [/u] Right as the bell rings, Dan charges at Chaz, going for a Clothesline! Chaz ducks it, and grabs a hold of Dan's arm, taking him immediately down with a Crippler Crossface! Dan tries to power his way out of it, but Chaz adjusts his weight, giving himself more leverage and torquing Quinn's face and arm even more, bringing a quick Tap Out! DING! DING! DING! Winner: Chaz Dillinger[/center] Stenfelder: Here is your winner, by submission, “America's Most Wanted” Chaz Dillinger!The fans are in an uproar as Dillinger stands to his feet and raises his arms arrogantly! Nailz: What a dominant win for Dillinger here tonight! And against a man as brutal as Dan Quinn, that's just flat out impressive, whether you like the guy or not! And for the record, I don't!Beckett: He's my pick to win the whole darn thing!The fans are still disgruntled as Dillinger exits the ring, leaving Quinn laying on the mat in pain. We head backstage where Johnny Knuckles is walking around with a t-shirt that read, “Light It Up!” and a gold chain that had a set of false teeth on it with 1 tooth missing as an insult to Jason Kash. He seems to be walking around looking to piss people off. Knuckles: Hey!! Check this out; I’m Jason Kash……The backstage hands working around him just stare at his idiocy while continuing to work. He is soon met up with Cindy Shannon for an interview. Cindy: John, a quick word…..why such disrespect? At one point, Jason was your friend and now this?Knuckles: Just trying to throw Kash off his game. It’s almost impossible to do that since we’ve known each other for 6 long years. Cindy: Don’t you think this is a little harsh? The pranks were one thing but this?Meanwhile………. In another area of the arena, Jason Kash is getting ready for his match with Sally Talfourd when he sees this interview. Jason Kash: He SRRIOUS!? Kash finishes his boot and storms out of his locker room heading towards the interview. He finally makes his way to where Cindy Shannon is but Knuckles is nowhere to be found. Jason Kash: Where the hell did he go?Cindy: I don’t know, he was just here a second ago…..Jason Kash: The second I see him, I’m fuckin’ his shit up! He wants to try and get into MY head? What a DA-OUSH!!Knuckles: Lookin’ for me?Knuckles jumps Kash from behind and a vicious forearm blast to the back of his head sending Kash to the ground. Knuckles: See Cindy, it’s working already.No sooner does he say that, Kash kicks Knuckles in his kneecap from the ground as Cindy Shannon runs off camera. Kash gets up quickly as him and Knuckles start to brawl backstage with lefts and rights flying. Kash slams Knuckles head against the concrete wall. Knuckles kicks Kash in the gut and slams his head on a piece of camera equipment. Knuckles continues to throw rights and lefts but then Kash tackles Knuckles to the ground and they continue to brawl. Knuckles gets up only to have Kash slam him back down with a suplex. Knuckles tries to get up but is kicked in the ribs by Kash. Security come rushing down the hall. Kash decides he wants to hurt Knuckles so he decides to take a few steps back then runs forward and jumps in the air looking to curb stomp Knuckles as he lays on the ground. His foot connects Knuckles head; slamming it against a piece of camera equipment but at the same time, Kash is getting tackled by security. Not knowing if he got all of it, Kash tries to look at Knuckles who is rolling around on the ground holding his mouth. When Knuckles pulls away his hands, he sees blood all over the place; but more importantly, a tooth. Knuckles feels around his mouth only to realize he is now missing a tooth just like Kash. Jason Kash: HA! See, that’s whatcha’ get for thinkin’ you could ever get into MY head!! You SRRIOUS!? What a DA-OUSH!!!!!Kash starts walking away as Knuckles slowly gets up. Asylum cuts to a commercial. |

The Asylum special finds itself in Reginald's office, who coincidentally is in the company of one Julius Farquhar. They are using they're murmuring voices to each other but it quickly comes to a halt as Dirk Dickwood, Superagent to Phil Atken storms into the office, taking Reginald aback. Dickwood: Reginald! We need to talk!Julius: I’m not handing out autographs today, so clear off. This is a private meeting. Dickwood: This has got nothing to do with you Julius... actually it does. In fact it is entirely to do with you.Julius: Of course it does, I am the star of this show. Unlike your little master, I’m glad to see he isn’t filling the place with his stench. God knows the Texans do a good enough job of that. Dickwood: Actually, as the wonderful agent I am, I scored the man some much needed time off. Isn't that right Reginald?Reginald looks taken aback by the direct question and begins to murmur to himself, perhaps hoping to summon a demon to swallow the shouting man in front of him. Reginald: Did you?Dickwood: Yes I did! And he sent me here to do his bidding. Julius sniggers at the very notion. Julius: What’s wrong, Robert the Bruce not ‘big’ enough to fight his own battles these days.Dirkwood: Actually, he wants a match and he wants it next week at Asylum. Reginald: A match with who?Dickwood: Are you even listening to this conversation? With him! Phil wants Julius and he will not settle for less.
Reginald: Well, Julius. What do you think about that?Julius: I think the idea is absolutely ridiculous. Honestly Reginald, I thought I was done dealing with the curtain-jerkers in this company when I saw off Dan Bochner the other week. It’s bad enough I had to share the ring with that Haggis-bothering simpleton last week. If I am to compete in any match next week it should be a World Heavyweight Championship match.Reginald: Julius, that isn’t going to happen. I’ve already booked you in the Rasslemania Extraganza eight-person tag match for next week’s show. Any other ideas?Julius: Well, yes I do. This whole business stems from Phil Atken’s jealousy of my quintessentially English ways. He knows he cannot make a better cup of tea than myself, therefore he tried to embarrass me into polluting my body with his Scotch poison.Reginald: Is this going anywhere Julius?Julius: The best way to settle this is for there to be a competition next between myself, the ‘Quintessentially English’ Julius Farquhar, and that scotch barbarian Phil Atken. The contest will be to determine who makes the best cup of tea, and we will poll the APW megastars to find out a true and definite answer.Reginald begins to roll his eyes back into his head and continues his self murmuring ways, agitating an already agitated Dirk Dickwood. This causes an outburst of rage from Dickwood. Dickwood: THAT IDEA IS RIDICULOUS! This is a wrestling company, not kind of political outfit, even if you do have men like Michael Callahan running about. This needs to be settled with my client, Mr. Phil Atken, smashing Julius Farquhar in the face with his fists, not some kind of nonsense shananigagary with this polling. Reginald: But it would solve a big question. The burning question that so many people have asked me since your client and Julius started their little tea fight. I think, Mister, it's my duty to ensure that question is ultimately answered. Dickwood: This is absurd. You're running a wrestling show! WITH WRESTLING!Reginald: Yes but as I’ve already said Julius is tied up next week and I truly believe we don't have to fix this problem with a healthy dose of violence. We are going to solve this burning tea issue once and for all next week on Asylum with a good old fashioned tea poll!Julius: Once again the only voice of reason in the management of this company speaks sense. Well done Reginald, I think you have come up with a brilliant solution to this problem.Reginald looks pleased with himself. Reginald: Thanks Julius.Dickwood is livid. Dickwood: You two haven't heard the last of this. Julius, you WILL see Phil in the ring. Dickwood storms back out of the office in a very similar manner to the way he stormed in as Farquhar give Reginald a re-assuring pat on the back. Nailz: Right now we are going to roll some footage of a minor event that occurred earlier today between Anthony Bailey and Jason "Bacon" Andrews at one of College Station's most well known restaurants called Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill. Roll that footage!The scene shifts to Anthony "The Promise Bailey" along with his girlfriend Tasha and good friend Rob walking inside of Koppe Bridge, a well known restaurant selling some of the city's best barbecue and burgers. As they enter, they bump into Jason "Bacon" Andrews who is in the process of exiting the building. Bacon: Well well well, look at what we got here...if it isn't The Promise himself...Anthony Bailey: You know what? All of this back and forth garbage is getting kind of old. How about I do the entire APW a favor and just finish you off right here?! We don't even have to wait until tonight!Bacon: My brotha, is Baconmania going to have to run wild on you right here in Koppe's? I just had a good meal and I would love to burn some calories whooping you all over this entire restaurant.The two inch closer to one another and are now face to face in a stare down. Anthony Bailey: Try me...I'd love to see the worthless attempt.Tasha and Rob quickly intervene and separate the two from one another. A few restaurant staff members also walk over to Bailey and Bacon to see what is going on. Bacon: You're lucky they're holding me back Bailey, because if not, Baconmania would embarrass you in front of your little girlfriend. Then she'd leave here with a real man!Anthony Bailey: Wait, are you really threatening me in the third person right now? I can't do this...guys, I can't do this...we'll just find somewhere else to eat before the show.As Bailey and his entourage storm out of the restaurant, the scene fades to black as the camera cuts back to Russ T Nailz and Steve Beckett. Nailz: We'll be seeing that match a little bit later tonight folks!As Nailz is talking, Reginald Schmidt shows up on the Action Tron. Reginald: Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great regret that I must anounce that the scheduled match between Rhonda Vixen and Kid Dynamo will not be occuring tonight. Rhonda Vixen has not been medically cleared to wrestle, while Kid Dynamo has not even shown up to the arena. Due to these circumstances, as well as the fact that Dan Quinn is mathmatically eliminated from participating in the Tap Out Title Match at RassleMania, I am making a change to the Title Match at the biggest show of the year! Instead of doing just a normal one-on-one match for the title, we will be doing a mini-gauntlet, where two men start in the ring, and once one of them is eliminated, the final competitor will come out immediately to face the winner of the first match. Whoever wins between Anthony Bailey and Jason “Bacon” Andrews later tonight will be tied with Chaz Dillinger in the rankings for the Tap Out Challenge. Therefore, whomever is victorious in that match up later tonight will face Chaz on next week's Asylum to determine the man who gets the first match bye at RassleMania!The fans cheer at the announcement, and a loud “BAILEY! BAILEY!” chant gets going. Reginald smiles on the screen before continuing to speak. Reginald: With that piece of business taken care of, let's get right back to the action!"Beautiful" hits the speakers as the overhead lights dim, the stage bathed in a chaotic mish-mash of pink and white lights. Bobbing her head to the music, Alyssa Casteele emerges with her fists raised in the air to a wave of cheers and boos both - once fully out on the ramp, she jumps up and down a couple times, limbering herself up for the high-flying that is sure to follow. Pink and white lights flash along the sides of the ramp as Alyssa cracks her knuckles before looking down at the ring. A smirk appears on her face as the fans continue their reaction, the boos nor the cheers really impacting the pink-haired girl's expression. Alyssa runs down the ramp way with conviction, not really paying attention to the fans as she does. She's clearly pumped up and ready to go as she releases a little more of that energy by sliding into the ring on her stomach, and she quickly climbs to her feet before pacing back and forth upon the canvas, forcing the fans to watch her in such a fueled state. Casteele takes a deep breath as she stops in the middle of the ring. Stenfelder: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first…hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and weighing in at one hundred and seventy seven pounds…Alysssaaaa Caaasssteeele!!!The simplistic banjo chord intro of "Losing Your Mind" by Pride and Glory hits the speakers and the crowd automatically start booing. When the drums and the hard rock riff kick into life accompanied with the vocals of Zakk Wylde, Callahan strides out of the curtain with a Washington Monument sized grin on his face that can positively make you sick with his smugness. He does not come alone either as he carries the Pro Life Championship “proudly” over his shoulder. He saunters down to the ring with all the casual coolness you could ever ask for, shaking hands and kissing babies like any true politician would taking all the worlds allocation of time as he milks his entrance for everything its worth. Stenfelder: Making his way to the ring, from Kelso, Washington, weighing in at two hundred and thirty four pounds…he is your duly elected wrestling representative and the Action Packed Wrestling Pro Life Champion…Michael…Callahannnnnn!!That announcement alone is enough to make the fans cringe and boo more. Having climbed the ring steps, Callahan curtly wipes his boots off on the apron and climbs into the ring. He holds the title proudly up in the air, giving a salute to his electorate to another round of dismay from the audience before taking his place in the corner. Nailz: Callahan is looking to continue his "undefeated" streak here tonight while Alyssa Casteele just wants a fair shot at The American Hero! This should be a great match."The American Hero" Michael Callahan vs. Alyssa Casteele [/u] The bell rings and the two lock up. Elbow strike by Callahan! He follows that up with a gut kick! Callahan with a side headlock on Casteele. She tries to fight him off as he continues to apply pressure. The fans are booing Callahan like crazy as he begins to taunt them and also tries to harm Alyssa Casteele simultaneously! Thinking quickly, Casteele backs Callahan into the ropes as a last ditch effort and counters the headlock with an irish whip. Bouncing off of the ropes, she catches Callahan with a flying cross body! Back on her feet, Casteele begins to deliver various swift kicks to the lower body of Callahan as she's known for doing. Kneedrop to the face of Callahan who rolls over in pain! She leaves Callahan and walks towards the turnbuckle and begins to climb to the top. Callahan, with a sudden burst of energy, quickly rises to his feet and strikes her from behind knocking her into a sitting position on the turnbuckle. Rubbing the part of his face where Casteele's knee left red, Callahan grabs Casteele and begins to climb the top turnbuckle himself. Callahan raises her up…and nails a huge superplex!! Callahan and Casteele are both slow to rise to their feet as the fans go nuts over the last move!!! Callahan with an inverted DDT on Casteele and covers her for the pin. 1 . . . 2 . . . KICK OUT!! Beckett: Whoa! I don't know if I'm more shocked that Alyssa Casteele kicked out or if the technical specialist Michael Callahan nailed a superplex! Kind of unlikely but regardless, what a great move!Nailz: I couldn't agree more! This match has been pretty even so far. Callahan gained the upperhand with that remarkable move but you can't count out Alyssa Casteele just yet!Casteele, seemingly using her last ounce of energy, runs towards Callahan with a spinning wheel kick! NO! He sidesteps her and losing her balance, she hits the mat! Quickly grabbing her legs, Callahan applies the boston crab! Could this be it for Casteele? Is she going to tap? Casteele slowly easing her way towards the ropes…Callahan doing all that he can to stop her….SHE GETS IT! Callahan still has the move applied as the referee tells him to break it up. Callahan relents and rises to his feet. Callahan picks Casteele up and strikes her with a hard knife edge chop! Callahan goes for a full nelson. Casteele, grabbing his head, drops to the mat so Callahan's chin hits her head! What an awesome reverse! Callahan falls to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Casteele now applies the butterfly lock on Callahan! Callahan refusing to tap quickly weasels his way out of the move. Spinning crescent kick out of nowhere by Alyssa Casteele! That definitely caught Callahan off guard! A fatigued Casteele rises and stands above Callahan…Playground Twist! Could this be it? With the fans now rallying behind her, Alyssa Casteele points to the top turnbuckle, makes her way to it, and slowly begins to climb it. Standing perfectly vertical, she hits her finisher the Cherry Bomb!!! NOO! Callahan rolls out of the way and Casteele hits the mat hard!! Callahan rolls her over and covers her for the pin. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 Winner: Michael Callahan[/center] Stenfelder: Here is your winner, "The American Hero" Michael Callahannnnnn!!!!!"Losing Your Mind" by Pride and Glory begins to blast through the PA system as a proud Michael Callahan begins to celebrate. He motions for the referee to hand him his Pro Life Title and once he receives it, he arrogantly raises the belt in the air to increase the amount of fans already booing him. Alyssa Casteele rolls out of the ring and walks backstage. Callahan, who is basking in the moment, slowly makes his way backstage staring at his title the entire way. Nailz: The American Hero continues his undefeated streak here tonight in College Station and the fans here don't seem one bit pleased about the outcome of this match.Beckett: I agree! Whether you love him or hate him, you cannot deny the fact that Michael Callahan is an amazing performer. We'll be right back after this commercial break.Asylum goes to a commercial break as Callahan disappears behind the curtain still smiling. |

The scene opens up in Reginald’s Office. He’s sitting at this desk and doing some work on his lap top with his theme music playing over his Laptop speakers. Reginald is singing along to his theme song
Reginald: Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never…
Knock Knock
Reginald scrambles to turn the music off as the owner of Action Packed Wrestling, President Jeff walks into the room.
Jeff: Were you just singing?
Reginald: Me? No. You must have heard someone else.
Jeff: Sounded like your theme song Reggie.
Reginald: it’s a pretty awesome theme song.
Jeff: Indeed it is. But I’m not here to talk about your theme song Reggie. I had some free time this weekend and I figured I’d come down to Asylum to see how things are going, and um… Let you know that I look forward to the Overdrive Verses Asylum match at Rasslemania.
Reginald: Me too. Its going to be embarrassing for you when team Asylum beats Team Overdrive two years in a row.
Jeff: I don’t think that will happen this year Reginald.
Reginald: Maybe. I guess not having you in the match this year may give Overdrive a chance at winning.
Jeff: Ha Ha, Very funny. You may think by stacking up your team, your gonna win, but let me tell you this. My team, they are all dark horses. My team, they need the opportunity to shine, and they will get it at Rasslemania, and believe me, they will shine and they will whoop Asylums ass.
Reginald: How do you expect to win, when you only have 3 guys on your team.
Jeff: Don’t worry about my fourth guy. I’ve been keeping an eye on everyone and I will reveal on Overdrive this Thursday just who the fourth member of Team Overdrive will be.
Reginald: Good luck with your search boss. Your gonna need it.
Jeff: No Reginald, good luck to you at Rasslemania, because YOUR gonna need it.
The two smirk at each other as the scene fades back to ringside.
“Spaceman,” by The Killers, hits the speakers as the arena lights fade to a dim blue and laser lights shoot from the stage. Biggs enters the arena to a chorus of boos, with the Studmuffins nowhere to be seen. He's dressed in his ring gear and has a sour look on his face as he heads down the ramp.
Stenfelder: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time, former APW Undisputed Champion, Biggs!
Nailz: What the heck is Biggs doing here without the Studmuffins?
Beckett: What I'm wondering is why the heck is he in his ring gear? I thought he suffered a career ending concussion at the hands of C.J. Gates all the way back at Christmas Chaos!
Biggs enters the ring and snatches the mic right from Stenfelder! His music fades and the lights come back to normal as he begins to speak. The fans are booing him out of the building, showing him no love at all.
Biggs: Boo me all you want, people, I don't freakin' care! I'm mad as heck about the fact that I don't get to headline APW RassleMania this year, and it's all due to one man, that man being C.J. Gates!
There's a pop for the Overdrive Mega Star, despite the fact that this is an Asylum broadcast.
Biggs: You see, when C.J. Gates gave me that concussion at Christmas Chaos by tossing me head first into the ramp, there no doubt in my mind that he did so deliberately just so that he could take me out action for good! And I thought he did just that, as my doctors told me at the time that it would be best for me to retire from wrestling for good, that one more concussion would have catastrophic results in regards to my quality of life outside of the ring. Well, I recently had a follow up appointment, and my doctors have since recanted their earlier prognosis that I should retire, and have cleared me to compete once again!
There are loud boos at this announcement.
Beckett: That's great news! One of the best in the business is unretiring!
Biggs: That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I am pulling a Terry Funk and coming back! And for my first match back, I am challenging none other than the man who put me out of action, C.J. Gates, to a match right now! If I can't headline RassleMania, than I might as well do everything in my power to humiliate you before your big match! So C.J., if you have the guts, you'll come out and face me in the ring right here, right now!
“Shooting Star” begins to play, and the fans pop at the sound of the music, but their cheers are short lived, as C.J. is nowhere to be seen.
Nailz: Oh sure, Biggs is a real big man, challenging a person who's not even scheduled to be here tonight! C.J. Gates is at the Overdrive house show in Mississippi as we speak!
C.J.'s music continues to play for a bit, but after it becomes obvious he's not even in the arena, the music stops, and Biggs begins to speak again.
Biggs: That's what I thought! C.J. Gates, you are afraid to face me here tonight, because you know that if you step in this ring with me, that I would beat you so badly that President Jeff would have no choice but to make the APW Undisputed Championship Match at Five-Way contest! You may be a smart man, C.J., but you're nothing more than a coward!
With this, Biggs tosses the mic down, and “Spaceman” begins to play again as he leaves the ring.
Beckett: The APW Undisputed Champion, C.J. Gates fears Biggs! That much is obvious! But how about that news that Biggs is now cleared to wrestle again! How awesome is that!?
Nailz: I don't know. I'm suspicious of Biggs' claims. It's well known that he's not only a liar and a cheat, but also a man who's pride leads him to do things he'd better not!
Asylum cuts to commercial with Biggs heading up the ramp, jawing off to the fans as he does so.

The camera pans in as Kash is warming up for his match against Sally when all of a sudden, he hears a scratching at his door. He doesn’t understand why there’s scratching but he slowly opens it only to find a pitbull trying to bang down his door. Kash is pushed back as the dog makes his way into the room with its face snarling, teeth drooling and loud bark as if he was trying to eviscerate Kash on site. It chases Kash all around his room while Kash is screaming at it; trying to get it to heel.
Kash runs out of his room as the pitbull chases him down the hall. He makes a jump off the wall and climbs up onto a set of unused seats. The dog tries to jump at him but misses.
Jason Kash: WHAT THE HELL!? A FUCKIN’ PITBULL? REALLY? YOU SRRIOUS!? WHERE THE HELL IS KURT NOBLE WHEN I NEED HIM?........
Knuckle: POGO HEEL!! Come back here.....
The dog stops jumping but continues to bark and snarl as it heads back to Knuckles who is standing there laughing and covered with blood from his mouth. He grabs the dog’s spiked collar that is around its neck and pats the dog’s side. He then continues to rile up the dog as it snarls and tries to break from Knuckles grip and chase Kash some more.
Knuckles: Ya’ like my friends dog Pogo Kash? Very obedient, well, to guys like me and its’ owner anyways. Still don’t think I’m in your head yet Jason? Why don’t ya’ just admit that you were screamin’ like a lil’ bitch. Afraid of some lil’ dog……HA!
Jason Kash: Oh so help me god, this aint’ over……
Knuckles: Ya’ got that right Jason. It aint’ over till’ I finally show the world that I can beat you. SICK EM”!!
Knuckles lets go of the dog as it runs straight up to Kash and jumps only to miss. Kash keeps his feet up as to not get torn to shreds.
Knuckles: HA! Who aint’ got the balls now Kash?
Knuckles stands there and continues to laugh at Kash’s misery but he said, “BALLS”…..what the dog heard was, “SICK BALLS” and stops jumping at Kash and runs back towards Knuckles who isn’t paying attention. The dog leaps up and tackles the un-suspecting Knuckles and takes him down. The dog keeps trying to really bite Knuckles as he tries to fend the dog off. Kash is laughing his ass off and finally hops down. He can’t seem to stop laughing as Knuckles is having a hard time trying to fend off Pogo and can’t quite spit out the command.
Jason Kash: HA HA, SRRIOUS? Looks like you got your hands full there Knuckle-head but I’ll let you decide who aint’ got what around here. HA HA, what a DA-OUSH!!
Kash walks off in time for his match as security runs down to help Knuckles get this dog off of him long enough to yell out the “HEEL” command and the camera fades.
[/u]
The match begins in the early going with Bacon taking careful control of the match. He begins to work away at the shoulder and neck area of Bailey, looking to weaken it. He continues to focus all he punches, kicks and holds towards to same area for a good few minutes. Satisfied that he weakened Bailey enough, Bacon looks to lock in the cobra clutch. He successfully locks it in but not for long as Bailey begins to elbow away at Bacon's chest. After a few stiff elbows to the gut, Bailey manages to break free from the grasp of Bacon. Bacon attempts to go straight back into the hold but Bailey hiptosses him to the ground. Bacon springs back up but is knocked back down by a spin kick from Bailey.
Nailz: Bacon was utilizing a wise strategy in this match.
Beckett: But he got too ambitious, too quickly. He didn't beat down Bailey hard enough and now the shoe is on the other foot.
Bacon gets back up to his feet, stunned and shocked from the swift feet of Bailey. As he staggers around on his feet, Bailey begins to take measure of Bacon and runs over, flipping Bacon over and sending him crashing to the ground with a running knee clip. Bailey then begins stomping away at the floored Bacon, taking particular care to focus most of his attacks on the ankle area. Bailey jumps up on to the second rope and comes off it, landing both feet on top of the left ankle of Bacon.
Nailz: Bacon should have never gave up on his early attack so soon.
Beckett: I think Bacon is going to regret leaving that opening for Bailey.
Satisfied with the damage done, Bailey slaps on an ankle lock. Bacon cries out in pain and begins to try and claw in every direction to the ropes but after a good ten seconds in the hold, he has no option but to tap.
Winner: Anthony “The Promise” Bailey[/center]
Stenfelder: Here is your winner.... Anthony! The Promise! BAIIIIIIIIILEEEYYY!
Nailz: A hard fought victory here tonight for Bailey, allowing him to recover from his loss against Dillinger last week.
Beckett: Yeah but we'll see how Bailey does against Chaz next week.
Bailey stands in the ring, basking in the victory as Bacon rolls out of the ring clutching his ankle.
We’re backstage again and the camera focuses in on that indomitable and irrepressible caricature of Englishness, the ‘Quintessentially English’ Julius Farquhar. He’s looking pretty pleased with himself, probably thinking about how well he managed to manipulate Reginald Schmidt into not booking a match between him and his current nemesis, ‘The True Voice of the APW’ Phil Atken. At this moment Jack Spade arrives to spoil his piece.
Jack Spade: Julius, a quick word.
Julius: Sure thing...
Julius pauses to think.
Julius: Actually, I don’t know your name, nor do I care. What do you want?
Spade: Well I was wondering if you could tell us what this special ‘tea poll’ we should expect to see next week is all about.
Julius: It is quite simple: two men, two differently prepared types of tea, and it is down to the Megastars of APW to decide that my tea is better. It’s quite simple really. It’s going to be more exciting than a whole show dedicated to me.
Spade: And you think this is the kind of spectacle the wrestling-hungry fans of APW want to see?
Julius: It’s not about what they want to see, it’s about what is good for them. Next week Asylum becomes a cultural show, and the whole of America will see first-hand why English beats Scotch every time.
Julius continues on his way looking very pleased with himself; Spade is left behind looking a bit confused.

Nailz: It’s main event time and we are on the brink of probably the biggest match we’ve seen on Asylum in months. Beckett: I’m so pumped Scott, I’ve been waiting for this match since the moment it was announced. Nailz: I think this audience are bursting with anticipation. I think they may need to put on a new roof on this place when this one is done. Let’s go back and see what this match is all about. A VT is played hyping the Sally Talfourd v Jason Kash match: the promo includes some of Sally’s greatest APW moments, Jason Kash winning the World Heavyweight title at One Night In Hell, Sally’s retirement announcement, Kash’s references to ‘ending’ Sally’s career, Sally’s return at Survive & Conquer, ending with their respective promises to get the job done tonight. We’re back at ringside and the camera is focused on Stenfelder. Stenfelder: Making her much-anticipated return to the APW ring this evening: from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at a sublime 145lbs, please welcome back to Asylum...SALLY TALFOURD! The crowd is buzzing with anticipation for the coming match. On cue, the lights take on a blue tinge and 'Baby' hits the speakers. This sets the crowd off: everyone has been waiting weeks for this moment. As the song bursts to life, out races Sally Talfourd, racing to the front of the stage. Raising her hands to the crowd, she kicks her leg and heads towards the ring, slapping hands with the crowd that hangs over the rails for her. Sally stands at the base of the steps to the ring, waving to the crowd as she is announced. When that's done, she dashes up the steps, hoists herself over the top ring and bounces to the centre of the ring. Poses for the crowd as the lights return to normal and the music fades out. The crowd still cheers for the adorable Sally as she starts to stretch for the match. Nailz: How do you follow that? Beckett: Jason Kash lives here in Texas, expect another explosion of noise. As the theme for Monday Night Football begins to play and the rap beat merges in and begins to thump, pulsing the heads of fans filling the arena, Jason Kash steps out from the back, APW World Heavyweight Championship belt around his waist, as the music spills out vibrating the arena as fans get to their feet. Kash leans forward and slaps the metal stage three quick taps and then puts his two fingers to his mouth, hits the "Air Joint" as do all his fans. Two puffs and his arms shoot up above him as the fans let out a chant of "LIGHT. IT.UP". Kash heads to the ring, touching air joints with a few fans leaning over the guard railing. Stenfelder: Introducing her opponent: from Houston, Texas; weighing in at 250lbs; he is the current APW World Heavyweight Champion, “The Influence”...JASON KASH! He gets to ringside and leaps up, feet onto the ringside apron. He dips into the ropes and throws his arms up once again in the center of the ring. He stretches as he waits for the bell. Non-Title Match
Jason Kash vs. Sally Talfourd
There is a red hot atmosphere inside the Reed Arena as these two icons come together in the ring.
Nailz: There is history between these two great competitors, and fans of both will remember that Kash was the last person to pin Sally Talfourd in APW.
Beckett: Scott, given that Sally has chosen Kash as her comeback opponent suggests there is also unfinished business.
The ring bell sounds and we start with a collar-elbow tie-up. The opening exchanges are tight with a couple of back and forth strength contests, the final of which is won by Kash as he pushes Talfourd into a turnbuckle, releasing only on the count of four by the ref. Kash looks to take control with an arm wrench, knowing that a fast-paced match will suit the speed and agility of Talfourd he wants to keep it slow and tight. Kash is controlling Talfourd well with a series of locks and grips, using the arm wrench and wrist lock to great effect, as well trying to show Talfourd that he is the number one wrestler on Asylum these days. Kash tries for a hammerlock but Talfourd twists out of it, spins and swings out a leg trying to connect with Kash’s foot, but he catches her leg only to be caught on his blindside with the other foot as Talfourd connects with an Enziguri. Early pop and applause from the audience at the exchange. Sally looks for a cover but Kash kicks out just before the two count.
Nailz: We know the strength of Sally Talfourd is in her ‘educated’ feet.
Beckett: Exactly right Scott, Jason Kash should know as well as anyone you can’t let her get those legs moving.
Kash decides brute strength may his best option and dispenses with the technical exchange and clobbers Talfourd with a series of forearms, pinning her against the ropes. Irish whip across the ring sees Sally handspring against the ropes looking for the handspring back elbow but Kash baseball slides underneath, is quick to his feet and floors Talfourd with a running STO followed by repeated punches to the head. Seven punches later Kash dives across the body of Talfourd and gets a near fall two count. Kash looks to take advantage of Sally while she is still disoriented, whipping her against the ropes and knocking her down with a shoulder block. She’s up quickly and it’s another shoulder block, this time she bangs her head on the mat and rolls into a foetal position holding her head. Kash is unrelenting: he picks her and tosses her across the ring with a sick looking t-bone suplex.
Nailz: That’s the difference maker right there. Given their respective weights, Sally is not going to be able to hit those big slams or suplexes.
Beckett: You may be right, but Sally has made a career at defying the odds. She’s tackled and taken down bigger and more physically dominating opponents. She knows if she can stay in this match, she will get her chance to strike.
Kash is now in stalking mode, probably with U.T.I. in mind. Sally gets to her feet using the ropes, Kash strikes but he botches his U.T.I. as the attempt is telegraphed and Sally holds onto the top rope. Kash starts to rise and Sally responds with a springboard into her signature Danger Zone (diving leg drop bulldog). Both competitors are down, Sally ponders her next move and decides it may be time to give Kash his Happy Ending (Asai Moonsault), but this too is telegraphed and Kash rolls out of danger, but Sally anticipates this herself landing on her feet, Kash explodes from the mat and folds her in half like a piece of paper with probably the stiffest Money Shot (Rolling Elbow) he’s ever hit. There was real feeling in that one. He’s still feeling the effects of Talfourd’s counter-attack and he takes a second or two too long to make the cover and it allows Talfourd to get her shoulder up at two and a half. Kash pins her down again but she kicks out, this time on two. Another pin attempt and another kick-out.
Nailz: Kash probably knows these pin attempts aren’t going to keep Sally down, but every time she kicks out she is expending energy.
Beckett: Exactly. One thing you have to factor is that the Jason Kash Sally faced in the Elimination Chamber is not the same man she faces tonight. He’s more experienced now, he knows how to win and retain World Championships in APW, something he hadn’t done back then.
The match continues with Kash on the front foot and Sally mostly putting up a strong resistance. The way the match has gone thus far has led one or two in the audience to question whether a match against Asylum’s best is a little bit too soon for someone who hasn’t wrestled in six months, legend or not. However, Sally is a former APW Undisputed Champion therefore she has a will that is stronger than most and experience that few can call upon. There is a turning point in the mid-section of the match as Sally counters an attempted tilt-a-whirl backbreaker by Kash with a headscissors takedown. Kash tries to get up quickly, but Sally is fast and using Kash’s knee as a step-up she connects with a stiff shining wizard that gets an ‘ooh’ from the crowd. Sally covers but Kash kicks out on two and half. The inspiration is all coming back to Sally, and she lifts Kash horizontally into the ropes between the top and middle turnbuckles. She takes up a position across the ring and charges at Kash connected with a knee strike to the midsection, the crowd pop at the sudden novelty of seeing WHAM! Kash drops to the mat, Sally jumps onto the top rope and hits a tornado DDT when Kash gets to his feet. Sally runs to the ropes and successfully lands Happy Ending, hooking the legs...

Kash kicks out! The crowd pop with astonishment.
Nailz: Kash kicks out! Unbelieveable!
Beckett: I guess he doesn’t want a happy ending.
Nailz: I’m not sure that would qualify.
Sally Talfourd can hardly believe it herself. She lifts Kash and tries to whip him against the ropes, but he counters, pulling her towards him, ducking under her and hitting U.T.I. completely out of nowhere. Huge pop from the crowd. Kash drapes an arm across Sally...

Sally gets a shoulder up! The crowd metaphorically spontaneously combust!
Nailz: Incredible! Sally and Kash have kicked out of each other’s finishers!
Beckett: That is exactly what makes both of them Champions in the true sense, that indomitable will not to give up.
The crowd cannot quite believe what they are seeing. The commentators cannot believe it. Jason Kash cannot believe it. Maybe even Sally Talfourd cannot believe it. Kash starts to stalk the former Undisputed Champion, she gets to her feet and Kash looks for another U.T.I. but Sally counters with the Implant Buster (Double knee facebreaker). Another Happy Ending attempt which connects and Sally hooks the legs...

Winner: Sally Talfourd The crowd go crazy as the bell sounds and Sally is announced the winner. Sally rolls away from Jason Kash, she is breathing and blowing hard after this mammoth effort. Slowly she gets to her feet and the ref raises her arm, which also raises the roof in the arena. She on top of a turnbuckle celebrating when she looks down to see Jason Kash staring back at her from the entrance ramp. He lifts the APW World Heavyweight Championship belt, Sally smiles and continues her celebrations in the ring. Nailz: The Queen is back, long live the Queen! Beckett: What a match Scott, what a great competitor Sally Talfourd is. I guess when you got it, you just don’t lose it. Nailz: A superb win for the returning Sally Talfourd against the World Champion, but you have to wonder where this leaves Jason Kash. As Kash reaches the curtain and pulls it back to head backstage, Johnny Knuckles explodes out with a Donkey Punch that sends Kash crashing back into the cold, hard steel! The fans boo Knuckles as he stands over Kash, telling Kash plain as day that the APW World Heavyweight Championship will be his! Kash is out of it as Knuckles just glares down at him before heading backstage as trainers and agents rush out to check on the champion. Nailz: What a vicious assault by the #1 Contender there! Things sure are heating up heading into RassleMania, that's for sure! That's all the time we have for this week folks! See you next Sunday!
