APOCALYPSE 2008

[President Jeff]

The show opens up with the Intro video






After the video, pyro shoots through out the arena and the camera goes to the commentators.

Chase: Welcome to Apocalypse.

Harvey: We have a packed card here for you tonight. Four title matches plus Phate takes on Matt Metal and then our opening contest which is set to take place in a few seconds.

Chase: A lot of these matches here tonight have a heated rivalry, its going to be interesting to see most of these matches will end.

Harvey: The match I’m looking forward to the most is the main event. Kenny Lambardo defends his title against President Jeff, and the winner will also get Custody of Little Kenny.

Chase: A story of Best friends make better enemies.

Harvey: Lets go to the ring for the opening contest.


Almost Easy by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play and Ace YOungblood makes his way down to the ring

Tony: The opening contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, Ace Youngblood

Ace gets in the ring and waits for his opponent. As the opening riffs of “nobody” play over the speakers. At the 1:05 mark Hawken runs out of the curtain and charges to the ring. At the 1:30 he steps on to the middle rope and taunts at the crowd.

Tony: And his opponent, Dangerous Steve Hawkens

Hawkens gets in thei ring and this match is ready to star.

“Dangerous” Steve Hawkens Vs “The High Roller” Ace Youngblood

Ace and Hawkens lock up in the center of the ring, and Ace's power wins out and he pushes Hawkens into the turnbuckle. Hawkens gets up and the two lock up again, and as they do Ace gets in a headlock. He then holds the headlock in and then gives Hawkens a headlock takedown. Hawkens gets up and is met with a hard shoulder tackle,

kick out and Hawkens ends up rolling out of the ring to take a breather.

Chase: Nice start here by the new guy

Harvey: Hawkens looks to be rethinking his game plan here.

Ace motions for Hawkens to get back in, and does so. Hawkens and Ace lock up again but this time Hawkens kicks Ace in the knee, bounces of the ropes and hit’s a dropkick to his knee. Hawkens then has a sly smile on his face, gets up and sneaks round the back of Ace, and then bounces with a chop block. Ace goes down and Hawkens waits for him to get back up. Hawkens then sneaks again and this time kicks Ace in the knee, and he goes tumbling to the ground holding his knee. Hawkens then dives on his knee with his elbow and then puts him in a leg lock, but Ace grabs Hawkens’s face and Hawkens let’s go. Hawkens then drops the elbow on his knee again, and gets up to quickly so that Ace cannot grab his face. Hawkens then drops the elbow again and then slides to the outside of the ring with Ace screaming in pain. Hawkens then grabs Aces leg and slams it against the ring, then slams his leg into the ring post. Hawkens then walks up to a fan wearing a Ace T-Shirt and taunts him. (The kid noticeable told him to fuck off, which could be heard on the broadcast.)

Harvey: Well, I got to hand it to Hawkens, he has been smart, we know Ace is a momentum wrestler, and at the moment he has none.

Hawkens then gets in the ring and kicks Ace in the knee again. He then stands over him and out him in a half crab! Ace screams in pain and Hawkens drags him into the center of the ring. Ace try's to reach the ropes but finds he is to far away. He then puts his hand out as if to tap, but then the fans start willing him on. Ace then pull's himself, shouting all whole time, and Hawkens try's to pull him back. Ace eventually drags himself to within and inch of the bottom rope, but then Hawkens pulls him back to the center, Ace then lets out a primal roar and uses his leg strength to kick Hawkens away.

Chase: Wow, that was some strength.

Ace then grabs hold of the ropes and Hawkens then hits his with a number of right hands so that Ace is in the corner. Hawkens hammers away at him but Ace blocks one and push Hawkens into the centre of the ring. Hawkens charges at him but Ace kicks him in the gut and hit’s a DDT! Ace gets the cover

Hawkens then picks up Ace and whips him into the turnbuckle and then hit’s a running close line. Hawkens then climbs the turnbuckle and then picks up Ace to hit a Samoan Drop from the top rope. Hawkens then goes to fall backwards but Ace some how wiggles free, slides downs Hawkens back and Powerbombs Hawkens off the top rope! Ace gets a cover

Winner Steve Hawkens

Chase: A big win here for Hawkens

Harvey: This guy has been on a roll since coming to APW

Hawken celebrates his Victory and heads up the entrance ramp. Ace Youngblood is in the ring getting up and then "So What'cha Want" by the Beastie Boys blares over the amps. The lights go down low as a silhouette appears in the entry way. The lights slowly come up as a blue and white firework display goes off.

Chase: Its Dr. Matt, what is he doing out here

Harvey: I think he’s looking for some TV time

Dr. Matt is standing in the entry way. He's short buzzed hair has been died bright blue, and he's wearing baggy cutoff jeans. Matt bolts into the ring and starts attacking Ace. Matt then quickly hits Ace with the Doctors Orders. Out of no where, John Green runs down to the ring. He slides into the ring and punches Matt to the ropes and clotheslines him over. Fans cheer and Matt gets to his feet and looks at Green as he stumbles up the ramp.

Chase: Green is back and he wants Revenge on Matt.

Harvey: Indeed he does.

We go to commercial for APW’s Western Canada Tour for the month of August.

[President Jeff]

Harvey: What a night it has been so far!

Chase: And it‘s only one match old, this night is going to rock the foundations of the APW.

Harvey: You may just be right there, up next we have the tag team title match and this is going to be something to behold.

Chase: Can Sabur get his hands on tag championship gold?

Harvey: He has come so close in the past but he’s in there now with a former tag champ in his own right, Tony Blackwell, the hot money has to be on the challengers.

TAG TEAM TITLE TABLES MATCH
The Hardcore Kid & Jason Royce Vs Sabur and Tony Blackwell


Rage in the name of... pounds at the sound system like Tony Blackwell at Razor Ryan’s head. The fans burst into a roaring ovation of cheers as they see hometown man, Sabur, step out with Tony. The two KaotiK warriors survey the roaring mass of fans, pump fists, and start their walk down the ramp.

Tony: The following tag team contest is a table’s match and is for the APW Tagteam Championships. First introducing, at a combined weight of five hundred and fifty two pounds, the team of Sabur and Tony Blackwell!

Tony jumps onto the apron and steps in over the top rope, striking the I am God pose as Sabur slides in under the bottom rope, raises a fist and causes pyro to fly from the ring post as Phil flees from a pissed Tara Jacobs

Harvey: The challengers, staking their name and skill against Hurricane Jeff, against the man that would betray and betray again, against a man that gives less than a damn about his fellow man. And the first step in that, gain power.

Chase: Gold talks, Darren, gold talks.

Scars cuts in and blasts down the PA like all the goddamn pyro people are so keen on using. Jason Royce sweeps through the curtain, flexing his muscles to get the screaming teenage girl quota for the night as Hardcore Kid steps out beside him to a less than warm reaction from his hometown crowd. That pyro goes crazy as the two men lock eyes with their challengers, Tony already grabbing a table and placing it in a corner.

Tony: And the opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of four hundred and sixty two pounds, they are the APW Tag team Champions, Hardcore Kid and Jason Royce!

Hardcore Kid taunts the fans, obviously looking for a bit of that hometown love and gets a chant of Go to Hell! Go to Hell! Go to Hell! Tony seems to smirk at this and strikes the Crucifix pose causing a raucous chant of <BLEEP> them up Tony <BLEEP> them up!

Royce and Hardcore Kid run down the ramp and Sabur and Tony slide out to meet them, starting an exchange of left and right hands, Tony brawling with Hardcore Kid and Sabur with Royce. Tony gets the upper hand in his battle and rams Hardcore Kid’s head into the steel steps. Hardcore Kid bounces off of them and almost gets taken from his shoulders with a vicious lariat. Royce and Sabur’s battle had been going the Irish Hammer’s way but Royce hits Sabur low and between the legs but as Sabur falls, Royce gets a big boot that nearly takes his Kaosdamn head off. Tony drags Royce to his feet and whips him heavily into the ringpost while Sabur picks up one of the tag titles that have been dropped in the scuffle and wipes out Hardcore Kid, busting him open like a ripe watermelon.

Chase: And we finally see some blood

Sabur throws the belt to the timekeeper’s table and drags Hardcore Kid to his feet, rolling him into the ring and finally it looks like the action might just be heading there as Tony sets Royce up for a Powerbomb and drills him into the ring steps.

Harvey: The challengers have come out blazing and Hardcore Kid is looking at a world of trouble!

Sabur whips Hardcore Kid into the table that had been set up in the corner but it doesn’t break. Sabur charges towards him, Kid gets out of the way, Sabur stops dead just in front of the table only to get a dropkick in the back, table remains unbroken. Tony stops Hardcore Kid from capitalizing on this, however, hitting him with a running spear as he turns. Tony throws right hand after right hand, opening up the cut further. Sabur rolls out of the ring and digs under it, pulling out another table and setting it up outside.

Chase: Sabur wants to end this match quick I think

Inside of the ring, Tony drags Hardcore Kid to his feet and looks out to see the table outside the ring. He grins maniacally and hoists Hardcore Kid into the air, looking to end this one early! He launches Hardcore Kid but Royce, out of nowhere, yanks the table out of the way. Hardcore Kid hits the floor hard and starts to spasm as Royce lights up on Sabur like neon on a tacky Vegas cafe.

Harvey: Nice save by Royce there.

Chase: I think after hitting the ground like that, the kid would have preferred to go through that table

Tony slides out of the ring and stops this second wind with and right hand of his own, ramming him into the ring barrier and then rolling him into the ring.

Chase: Tony has been in these situations before and it shows, he and Sabur have played the numbers game from the very start.

Tony and Sabur roll into the ring and stalk their prey, Royce gets to his feet and is hit with a right hand from Tony, he bounces away and gets hit with a right hand from Sabur, a chop from Tony, a chop from Sabur, the two men light up on Royce. They back him against the ropes and whip him to the other side, they look for a double clothesline but Royce ducks, Royce hits Sabur with a right hand, then Tony, and he takes them down with a double clothesline of his own! He hits a rising Tony with a running dropkick but again shows that numbers talk and scoops Jason up, looking for a Sidewalk slam but Hardcore Kid makes a well timed revival and nails Sabur with a clothesline! Sabur and Jason hit the mat and Hardcore Kid falls on top of Sabur, choking him like a rabid Kristina Blackwell.

Harvey: Don’t count the Kid and Royce out yet, there still in this match

Tony makes it to his feet but gets nailed with a clothesline. Royce heads up top and nails Tony with a 450 Splash. It’s the champions’ turn to use the numbers game. Royce punches Sabur, punches him again, then again. Hardcore Kid hits a low blow and Royce nails a Russian Legsweep like a Russian drin...ok, ok, enough with these damn similes! Hardcore Kid drags him to his feet and nails a backbreaker while Royce heads for the table in the corner. He pulls it free and sets it up against the ropes. Royce whips Sabur into that table and Hardcore Kid looks for a spear and the win BUT Tony dives across, knocks the table free and Hardcore Kid and Sabur fly through the ropes!

Chase: Tony possibly saved the match for his team right there.

Tony grabs a handful of Royce’s hair and throws him over the top rope but Hardcore Kid drags Tony out of the ring also. He drags Tony to his feet and drops him with a DDT. He drags him towards the setup table and rolls him onto it, directing traffic. Royce slides into the ring, hits the ropes, and launches himself into a top rope corkscrew, Tony rolls off of the table and Royce goes through! Since Royce put himself through the table, the match still continues and Hardcore Kid knows that he has it all to do. Sabur charges him and gets a mouthful of blood into his eyes for his trouble.

Harvey: Sabur didn’t expect that!

Hardcore Kid nails Tony with a Spear, then he drags him to his feet and snaps off a snap suplex. Turning to Sabur, Hardcore Kid rolls him into the ring and picks up a piece of that broken table. He rolls into the ring and marmalises Sabur with the debris. Sabur hits the mat hard and Hardcore Kid drives the splintered edge of the table again and again into his forehead, opening a cut. Sabur finds a second wind and powers to his feet, hardcore Kid swings the wood but it gets a giant fist from Sabur. The two home town men launch into a flurry of right hands, causing a buzz from the crowd. Sabur ducks a shot and looks for the Cloverleaf Slam, Hardcore Kid frees himself and tries for the Straight to Hell, Sabur springs free, spins Hardcore Kid around and nails him with the Irish Carbomb!

Chase: Its looks like a car wreck in there!

Both men are down and Tony pulls himself onto the turnbuckle, another piece of debris in hand. Hardcore Kid rolls onto his back...Arabian Facebuster! Royce slides into the ring and hooks Tony up for the GTS but Tony turns it into a spinning DDT and rolls out of the ring looking for more wood...no, glass! Tony brings a pane of glass from under the ring and hey, it’s roughly table shaped! Tony sets the pane of glass between the apron and the ring barrier as Sabur hits Clotheslines on Royce and Hardcore Kid. Royce is quickly back to his feet and he nails Sabur with a Spinning Lariat but he spins into a German Suplex, not quite carrying him far enough to hit the makeshift table.

Harvey: A glass table? I think this is going too far.

Royce rolls under the bottom rope and gathers his bearings. Sabur makes it to his feet but he gets nailed with the Backbreaker. Royce grabs a tag title as Hardcore Kid kicks Sabur out of the ring, Sabur stands and he is taken down getting up close and personal with the gold!

Chase: That’s gonna leave a mark.

Tony drags Hardcore Kid away from the ropes that he had been kicking Sabur under and takes him down with a furious Belly to Belly. Tony drags Hardcore Kid to the corner and up to the top, hoisting him up for a Full Throttle, but Hardcore Kid slides off, finds his feet on the ropes and sets up...spinning Straight to Hell right through the glass and this one is over!

Winners and STILL APW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: The Hardcore Kid and Jason Royce

Chase: OH MY GOD!

Harvey: I can’t believe they won again!

The fans chant Holy shit for the crazy bump to end the match as The Kid’s music hits and he and Royce celebrates.

Chase: No one thought they could do it, but they pulled out a victory.

Harvey: Barely.

Chase: I still don’t believe this.

The Kid, with glass cuts on his arm, and Royce head up the ramps with their tag titles as we go to a commercial for Shockwave on August 31

[President Jeff]

Chase: Welcome back and was a night so far. Full of surprises. First we saw John Green teach Dr. Matt a lesson, then we saw The Hardcore Kid and Jason Royce retaining their tag team titles.

Harvey: And we still have four matches to go. I can’t imagine what else to expect here tonight.





Chase: Twister has his work cut out for him tonight.

Harvey: You can say that again, Johnny. He has to face his friend Austin Daniels.

Chase: Not only that, Darren, but this is an Xtreme Title match. These matches never end without one, if not both men leaving on stretchers.

Harvey: I don't think there'll be much left to this friendship, let alone both men's bodies when this match ends.


"Hillbilly Deluxe" by Brooks and Dunn hits the sound system as a redlight shows the entrance way has a large ACE of Spades card blocking the way. The card then explodes showing the figure of the Austin Daniels. The Ace then walks out as the walkway is then lit up red as he makes his way to the ring. Daniels hoists his newly designed APW Xtreme Championship belt high in the air, and the hometown crowd goes crazy for the Ace.

Chase: Austin Daniels made short work of John Green's Xtreme Title reign.

Harvey: When John Green beat Tony Blackwell - the man who defined the Xtreme Division - at Test for the Best, I was certain that Green was back in full form and on top of his game.

Chase: M'eh, he was just a transitional champion.

Harvey: And now Austin Daniels attempts to not end up like John Green.

The ACE walks up the stairs, and out onto the apron. As he holds the tops rope as he drags his feet across the apron as if cleaning off his feet before entering the ring. He slides in between the middle and top rope, enters the ring and rapidly hits the center of the ring throwing a crufix pose, as red flames explode behind him exposing just his silouette until they die down.

Austin Daniels hops down and turns toward the ring. He stares at his belt for a moment, then looks at Twister. Twister smirks, and tells him to kiss it goodbye. The two do some trash talking back and forth, but both still seem to be smiling. Daniels hands the Xtreme Championship belt to the ref, then sticks out his hand for Twister to shake. Twister reaches out and grabs the Ace's hand and shakes. Then, Twister drags Daniels in and goes for the Wind Breaker, but Daniels grabs Twister around the chest and lays him out with a T-Bone Suplex. The ref calls for the bell as Twister coughs on the mat.

XTREME TITLE MATCH
"The Ace" Austin Daniels (C) vs. Twister

Daniels takes a step back and motions for Twister to get up. Twister, with a smirk on his face, slowly gets up and tries to get his wind back.

Harvey: Crafy move by the Xtreme Champion. Twister already nailed him once with the Wind Breaker on the last episode of Overdrive, and he had to see that coming.

Chase: Two wily veterans, Darren, this is going to be one helluva match.

Twister cracks his neck as he begins to circle the Ace. The two lock up, and Daniels gets Twister into a Side Headlock. Twister picks up Daniels and tries to Back Drop him, but the Ace flips over and lands on his feet behind Twister. He slaps Twister across the back of the head. Twister steps foreward, turns and looks back at Daniels, who is smirking at Twister. The two tie up again, and this time Twister throws Daniels into the ropes, then charges at him. As Daniels turns to bounce off the ropes, Twister gives him a Stiff Clothesline that sends him to the outside of the ring. Twister climbs out himself as Daniels leans back against the ring barrier to catch his breath. Twister gives Daniels a huge chop across the chest, and the fans chant "WOOO". Twister gives him another. And another. And another. Finally, he winds up, and delivers a huge chop that causes Daniels to fall to the ground, clutching his red chest.

Chase: Don't forget that in an Xtreme Title Match, Falls Count Anywhere!

Twister slowly picks up Daniels off the ground, then nails him with an Atomic Drop. The Ace falls to the ground, and the referee covers.

Daniels kicks out. Twister grabs Daniels by the scruff of the neck to pick him up, but Daniels grabs him by the leg. Twister tries to wiggle his way out, but Daniels drags him into a quick Inside Elbow. Twister goes down, and Daniels, still holding his leg, flips over him, creating a bridge. Ref counts the cover,

Twister kicks out. Twister gets to his feet and circles around Daniels a few times. The two tie up again and try to overpower each other, but eventually break off from each other. Daniels gives Twister a shove which causes Twister to stumble back. Twister comes back with a shove of his own that sends Daniels off his feet and slams him into the nearby ring steps. Daniels is dazed, and Twister gets a cover.

Daniels shoulders out. The Ace rolls away and gets to his feet. By the look on his face, he's not impressed with Twister for shoving him into the ring steps. Daniels comes at Twister with a flury of punches. Daniels gets in a few solid hooks before Twister can block one and tries to punch Daniels back, but Daniels grabs Twister's arm and Hip Tosses him, sending Twister crashing into the ring barrier. Daniels makes a cover,

Twister kicks out.

Harvey: Things are starting to get heated between these two friends, Johnny.

Chase: Still pretty tame by Xtreme Title Match standards, though.

Twister takes a moment to get to his feet, and he's not pleased with getting thrown into the barrier. He looks Daniels in the eye, and begins to talk to him in a low voice. He appears to be saying "Is that how we're going to play?" The Ace says something back, nodding. They charge at each other and tie up again. Daniels knees Twister in the gut a few times, then goes to whip him into the ring post. Twister plants his feet, and reverses the whip, slamming Daniels face first into the pole. The dull thud echoes throughout the arena as Twister then Back Slides Daniels to go for a cover.

Daniels rolls out. Daniels is to his feet and blood is trickling down from his forehead. He touches his head, and looks at the blood, and now he's really pissed. Twister is still on his knees and The Ace charges at him, dropkicking him in the head. Twister rolls backward, and Daniels continues the barrage with several kicks. He backs Twister right into the ring barrier, and gives him a few knees to the head. Twister is propped against the barrier, dazed. Daniels then goes to the ring apron and lifts it up, and pulls out a Steel Chair. He raises it, and the fans cheer loudly.

Chase: Now that's more like it!

Daniels positions himself in front of Twister, then wipes the blood out of his eyes and smears it on the chair. He then goes to swing it into Twister's face, but stops. He can't bring himself to do it. He drops the chair and picks Twister up by the head. He then grabs Twister around the waist and signals he's going for the Ace in the Hole. He goes to perform the maneuvre, but Twister elbows him in the head and Daniels lands on his stomach. Twister then pounces on his back and grabs Daniels legs, and he locks in the Twister's Rage!

Harvey: TWISTER'S RAGE, TWISTER'S RAGE, TWISTER'S RAGE!

Daniels is screaming in agony, and reaches out. Unfortunately, there's no rope breaks here. Daniels grits his teeth and pounds his fists on the arena floor. The blood is flowing from his forehead. The ref is down and asking if he wants to give up, but Daniels screams no. A rally cry of "ACE, ACE, ACE, ACE". Twister keeps applying pressure, but Daniels is not giving up. The ref asks again, and Daniels hand is out above the ground, just about to tap. He's close; he's about to give up...




But then he balls his fist and starts to elbow Twister's calf muscle wildly. He lays in almost ten shots before Twister loses his footing, and the torque from the Twister's Rage springs Twister forwards. Daniels holds onto his back while Twister sees the chair that Austin almost used on him earlier at his feet. Twister smirks, and slowly bends down to pick it up. He turns back toward Daniels, who's lying on his stomach, panting. Twister holds the chair upside down, and slowly walks back toward The Ace. He holds the chair high in the air, preparing to drive it down into Daniels back. He waits, then lowers the chair before tossing it into the ring. He instead begins to lift Daniels by his tights.

Harvey: These two can't seem to bring themselves to use weapons on each other.

Chase: What a bunch of pussies.
Twister hooks Daniels arms, and sets him up for the Twister Drop, but Daniels reverses by standing up and dropping Twister head first onto the ground. Daniels collapses onto Twister;

Twister kicks out! Daniels picks Twister up, who kicked out more out of instinct than anything. He gives a few solid chops to Twister's chest. Twister goes to punch Daniels back, but Daniels ducks, Side Slams Twister to the floor and locks in the Anaconda Vice!

Harvey: Twister's in a tight spot now!

Chase: Tight spot? That's an understatement.

Twister is screaming in pain, and is trying to use his free arm to punch Daniels in the face. Daniels squeezes tighter, and Twister starts clawing at the wound on the Ace's forehead. Daniels leans away, and slowly gets to his feet, still locking in the Vice. He picks Twister right up off the ground. Twister is still trying to escape, but Daniels lifts up Twister, spins, then slams him down to the ground. Twister is dazed, and Daniels breaks the hold to make a cover.

Twister shoulders out. Daniels gets to his feet and stomps Twister in the chest a few times. He then grabs Twister by both legs and starts to drag him around to the announcer's table. He flops Twister on top of the Announce Table, without taking off the hard cover or removing the monitors. He gives Twister a few elbows to make him stay, then he goes to the apron. He climbs up the apron, then begins to climb up to the top rope. With his back to Twister, Daniels raises a hand in the air and slowly counts to four on the hand.

Harvey: Why are you getting up, Chase?

Chase: He's going for the Four Aces and we're right in the kill zone. In the words of Ludacris, Move Bitch, Get Out Da Way!

Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase both remove their headsets and run out of the way, but Twister rolls off the table and gets to his feet. Austin Daniels is still posing on the top rope. Twister runs over towards him and bounds up to the apron, but gets a Boot to the face from Daniels then sends him off the apron and stumbling into the timekeeper. The Ace laughs and points to the titantrons, where he watched Twister get up. Daniels hops down to the ground and walks over to Twister. He cocks back his fist and goes to punch Twister, but Twister grabs the Ring Bell, turns, and Daniels punches it full force, smashing the bell into Twister's face. Twister goes down, and Daniels immediately begins to curse and hold his hand.

Harvey: First usage of weapons in this match, and it appears to hurt both wrestlers.

Chase: Oh, and Twister's busted wide open!

Sure enough, Twister sits up and blood is pouring from a gash in his forehead. Daniels is still holding his hand, and Twister charges at him, tackling him into the side of the ring. Daniels is winded by the move, and Twister throws him into the ring. Twister follows him in and begins to lay a barrage of hits on the Ace. Twister then grabs Daniels right arm and straightens it out. He then is about to stomp on Daniels possibly broken hand. He's just about to do it, then stops. Instead, he grabs Daniels by the wrist, flips him over, and rolls him up in a Magistral Cradle.

Daniels rolls out. Both men to their feet, and Twister charges at Daniels, who takes him down Drop Toe Hold. Twister is planted on the mat, and The Ace locks Twister in a Cattle Mutilation. Twister is shaking his head, screaming, and Daniels is wincing, having to squeeze his bad hand to perform the procedure. Twister begins to push himself up using his knees, and the leverage - while hurting him - makes it impossible for Daniels to hold on. Daniels breaks the hold and the two roll in opposite directions. Daniels gets up and shakes his bad hand, wincing. Twister gets up and rolls his shoulders, trying to shake off the effects of the Cattle Mutilation. The two eye each other down, both bleeding, both breathing heavily. They circle each other and tie up. A few moments of struggle, before Twister nails The Ace with a Flatliner. He covers

Daniels kicks out. Twister slams the mat in frustration, before picking up Daniels. He whips the Ace into the ropes, and when Daniels comes back, he catches him to set up a Spinebuster. He's just about to slam Daniels down, but Daniels grabs Twister's head and lays him out with a DDT! Daniels makes a cover.

Twister kicks out again. Austin Daniels can't believe it. Twister is lying on the mat, his chest heaving in and out. Daniels gets up, and sees the chair that was thrown into the ring earlier. He picks up the chair and sets it up in the middle of the ring. He picks up the dazed Twister, and he sets him up for the Ace in the Hole. He hesitates for a moment, and thinks about driving his friend's head through the chair. He then is about to go through with it, but Twister throws Daniels down to the mat, then drops down on him and starts throwing punches to Daniels face. Daniels pushes Twister off, and gets to his feet. He rushes Twister, trying to strike him, but Twister dodges and nails Daniels with a vicious Neck Breaker. He makes a cover.

Daniels kicks out. Twister doesn't waste time, and grabs Daniels arms, picks him up off the mat, and then nails Daniels with a Twister Drop. Daniels is motionless on the mat. Twister covers.

Daniels kicks out. Twister loses it. He can't believe Daniels kicked out. Twister picks Daniels up again, and starts yelling that it's over now. He grabs Daniels by the head and brings him close to the chair. He's about to go for the Wind Breaker, and stares at the chair. He too, hesitates, questioning whether or not to perform the maneuvre. This gives Daniels enough time to shove Twister off of him and back himself into the ropes. Daniels and Twister stare down, and the crowd is going crazy.

Harvey: Neither of them want to have to resort to using the chair, but neither of them are going down while this match stays clean.

Chase: What are these two going to have to do to win?

Daniels and Twister circle around the middle of the ring, where the chair is still set up. Twister side steps the chair and starts throwing punches, and Daniels responds. The two break into a bare knuckle boxing match, connecting hits and trying to block each other's attacks. Both men are getting worn down as knuckles continue to find each other's faces. Daniels gets a few left jabs in, and goes for an Uppercut, but Twister dodges, and kicks The Ace in the gut. Without thinking twice, Twister gives Daniels the Wind Breaker. However, unaware of where he was, he drives Daniels so hard onto the Steel Chair that it breaks underneath of him. Twister stares at the broken body of Daniels for a moment, then collapses on him to cover.

WINNER AND NEW APW XTREME CHAMPION: TWISTER

Harvey: He didn't want to use the chair, but in the end, that's what did Austin Daniels in.

Chase: These two showed tonight that there is more than one way to be Xtreme!

Twister is handed the championship belt and holds it tight to his chest. Meanwhile, Daniels is beginning to stir. Twister goes over to him and offers a hand to help him up. The Ace stares at him, then accepts the help. Twister lifts Daniels to his feet, and Austin Daniels raises Twister's arm in victory as we go to a hype video for the Matt Metal Verses Doctor Phate match.

[President Jeff]

Harvey: What a match we just saw here tonight between two friends.

Chase: Twister barely pulled out the victory.

Harvey: Up next, a rising star verses a veteran. Does Matt Metal still have what it takes, or is Doctor Phate right, is Matt Metal just an old man.

Tony (emphatic tone): The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Grudge Match!

The camera pans down to the bottom of the APW-Tron and then looks up as the arena is then plunged into darkness. Blue lights shine down much like Mr. Undertaker’s entrance. On the screen with some operatic music appears an image of the old and empty CWF arena. A dark figure is shown being lowered down into the ring and then standing in the ring as the camera zooms forward from the back of the audience seats, round in circles until it is face to face with the dark figure. The camera is suddenly then flashed with a wave of blue and white lights as suddenly those now famous words are uttered…..

"You Can't Stop….Nu Metal….On the Block."

Suddenly the arena lights go up and then die back to the blue lighting, but not as heavily, just think rock from 2002. Then on the stage the curtain is thrown back and walking out is Matt Metal, with his hair wet and loose, his "God Personified" T-Shirt on and a pair of baggy jeans and wrestling boots. Metal then stomps out onto the stage as "Come with Me" by Diddy plays over the P.A system. He walks out and stands on the ramp looking around as the audience gives him a fairly mixed reaction. Metal just smirks and then slowly starts to walk to the ring as the ring announcer does his job.

Tony (emphatic tone): Making his way to the ring…hailing from Surrey, England and weighing in at 240 pounds….he is a former WWC and CWF Champion and the General Manager of Overdrive…MATT METAL!

Metal cringes after hearing the former WWC and CWF Champion remark and begins to stare at the announcer before making his way down the ramp and toward the ring. Metal hops up onto the ring apron, turning his back to the ring and while jawing with the fans in the front row. Metal pretty much pays the fans no mind…until he sees a female fan in the front row wearing a big black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up to cloak her identity. The female fan blows Matt Metal a kiss before picking up a homemade sign sitting next to her chair – a sign that say, “Look Out Behind You!” Before Metal can react he finds a spool of barbed wire wrapped around his neck! Dr. Phate has snuck into the ring from the other side and caught him from behind! Metal tries to fight back, the barbed wire brambles cutting his chest and neck! Matt’s struggling prompts Phate to kick Metal’s right knee from behind, making Matt Metal lose his footing! Suddenly Phate is hanging Matt Metal from the ring with a barbed wire noose – and the match hasn’t even started yet!

Chase (shocked): Geezus! Phate is trying to kill Matt Metal! Metal is changing colors before our eyes!

Harvey (shocked): Throw the match out! Throw the match out! Why isn’t the referee doing something?!?!

Phate, laughing maniacally, maintains his gloveless grip on the barbed wire and marvels as Matt Metal dangles helplessly from the ring above the arena floor! Bored with his makeshift hanging Phate lets go of the barbed wire, allowing Matt Metal’s battered carcass to drop down to the arena floor! Phate’s companion, the girl holding the sign, hops over the guardrail - - and she and Phate curtsey to one another before commencing to stomp and kick a mudhole in Matt Metal!

Harvey (shocked): This is absolutely insane! Why hasn’t this match been thrown out yet?!?

Chase (answering Harvey): This match still hasn’t officially started! Both men have to be in the ring for the match to start! The ref can’t throw out a match that hasn’t even started!

Lifting the ring apron, Phate retrieves another barbed wire toy - - a novelty Viking Helmet wrapped in it! Holding the barbed wire hat skyward before placing it snugly on his head, Phate smiles sadistically as his shredded hands drip blood down into his shirt sleeves! The fans cheer the violence that is to come as Phate’s companion grabs Matt Metal by a tuft a hair and a grip of the wrist, dragging Metal into a seated position next to the ring steps! Reaching under the ring once again Phate pulls out a red matador cape - - and happily tosses it to his female companion! Getting the audience into the action, Phate and his female companion get the crowd to begin singing:

“Ole’! Ole’-Ole’-Ole’! Ole’! Ole’!”

Phate’s companion places the red cape in front of the seated Matt Metal….and Phate charges in! Phate’s companion moves the red cape just in time - - for Phate to gore Matt Metal in the face with the barbed wire-covered Viking Helmet! Metal screams in agony, rolling around on the floor holding his face as the fans explode with a “Holy Shit!” chant!

Chase (shocked): Matt Metal’s face is pouring blood! Phate is insane! He could’ve put the GM’s eye out!

Harvey (shocked): I guess that’s why they call it a grudge match…?

The referee, angered, finally threatens to throw the match out if Phate doesn’t take the match into the ring! Annoyed, Phate and his companion reluctantly toss Matt Metal into the ring. Phate follows suit and the referee calls for the bell!

GRUDGE MATCH
MATT METAL VS. “THE ICON” DOCTOR PHATE



Our match is finally under way - - and Phate decides to celebrate by sinking his teeth into the open wound in the middle of Matt Metal’s forehead! Metal screams in anguish as Phate digs his teeth in deeper and deeper! The referee begins the five-count, making Phate stop! Phate licks his blood-covered lips seductively as Matt Metal uses the ropes to pull himself upright, giving us a good look at the wound oozing blood into his eyes and mouth! Phate, pleased with his handiwork, waits for Matt Metal to stumble forward to the center of the ring from the ropes before knocking HIMSELF and Matt Metal silly with a vicious Hard Headbutt! Phate and Metal simultaneously drop to one knee from the force of the blow, Phate shaking off the effects while Matt Metal seems unable to verbalize the pain of Phate’s head connecting with his open wound!

Harvey (into the contest): Phate took himself out with that nasty Headbutt - - but the damage is done as Matt Metal is sent reeling!

Getting to his feet Phate stands above Matt Metal as Metal kneels on the canvas in agony. Smiling at his foe Phate bounces off the farthest ring ropes with hopes of nailing Matt Metal with a Running Knee Lift….and Matt Metal catches Phate out of nowhere with Nu Metal (RKO)! Phate’s neck snaps back violently as his body smacks the canvas - - and Matt Metal quickly goes for the pin!

THRE - - KICKOUT! Phate gets the shoulder up at the last possible second! Metal sits up enraged as he wipes the cascading blood from his eyes!

Chase (into the match): Nu Metal outta nowhere! That’s usually the end!

Harvey (into the contest): It’s not the end when you’re losing blood and you haven’t properly wore a man as dangerous as Phate down!

Metal, his temper flaring, mounts Phate and begins pounding away with a series of stiff right-handed Mounted Punches! Metal pounds merrily along, his knuckles driving right into Phate’s forehead until he finally opens a small cut on Phate’s hairline! Happy with his work but not satiated Metal makes his way to the nearest corner and removes the top, middle, and bottom turnbuckle pads! Waiting for Phate to rise, Metal stands amped and ready to strike! Phate staggers to his feet with his back to Matt Metal, blood trickling from his hairline….and Metal quickly grabs a rear waist lock before sending Phate into the exposed turnbuckles with a nasty Release German Suplex! The back of Phate’s head smacks the top turnbuckle with authority before sliding down and bouncing off the middle and bottom turnbuckles! Phate finally lands on the canvas in a heap, blood pouring out of the back of his head! The audience, in awe, explodes with a “Holy Shit!” chant as Metal stares at his fallen enemy! Metal grabs Phate by the legs, pulling him out of the corner to the center of the ring and making a sickening trail of blood to the middle of the ring! Amused by his handiwork Metal drops down for the pin!

THRE - - Phate’s companion hops up on the apron! The referee goes to scold her, breaking up his count!

Harvey (into the contest): Phate is very lucky to have her by his side – whoever she is! She just saved his tail!

Metal, his temper boiling to a fever pitch, angrily gets to his feet…and quickly makes his way to the apron, grabbing Phate’s companion by the wrist! Phate’s companion tries to escape – but Matt Metal stops her in her tracks with a kick to the midsection! Doubled over, Phate’s companion almost loses her footing on the apron before Metal grabs her by the head and pulls her into Piledriver position! Matt Metal lifts Phate’s companion up for a Piledriver from the apron to the arena floor - - but Phate recovers in time to sneak up behind Metal and gouge his open head wound! Metal screams out, losing his concentration and relinquishing his hold on Phate’s companion! Metal, the pain of Phate’s attack now subsiding, wipes a smattering of blood out of his eyes - - and Phate catches Metal and the fans completely off-guard by somehow jumping over the top rope and hitting Metal with a Bulldog from the apron to the arena floor! Metal’s face and neck slam into the unforgiving floor as Phate clutches his buttocks in agony due to his ass hitting the floor with such force! The audience explodes with an “APW!” chant as both men writhe on the floor in pain!

Chase (awed): Phate with a rather un-Phate-like high-flying assault to the floor! Metal’s neck could be broken again!

Phate gets to his feet holding his tailbone as his companion helps him pick a seemingly lifeless Matt Metal up of the ground and toss him back into the ring! Phate follows, waiting for Metal to rise! Metal staggers up to his feet, bent over slightly….Phate runs in with a Running Knee Lift….and Metal counters the Knee Lift with a Spinebuster out of thin air! The back of Phate’s cranium collides with the mat, prompting Matt Metal to quickly go for the pin!

THREE? NO! Phate’s companion quickly places Phate’s right hand around the nearest bottom rope! The referee sees this and thinks Phate got to the ropes, forcing Metal to break the pin!

Harvey (into the contest): Phate’s partner-in-crime has been the difference maker in this match! She ONCE AGAIN interjected herself into the proceedings!

Metal is beside himself as he pulls Phate to his feet by the collar of his shirt with his left hand while pulling back his right hand to deliver a nasty blow to Phate’s face – but Phate slows Metal’s momentum with a well-timed Eye Poke! Metal falls back, his eyes in pain as he clutches at his face, and Phate goes on the offensive with a Snap Russian Leg Sweep! Metal’s neck says hello to the canvas as Phate quickly pops to his feet and goes back on the offensive with a hard Jumping Leg Drop! Phate’s leg comes down like a hammer across Metal’s face! Before Metal can recover Phate hops to his feet and quickly nails Metal with ANOTHER Jumping Leg Drop! Metal is left reeling on the mat holding his neck as Phate scrambles over for the pin!

THRE - - KICKOUT! The fans can’t believe it as Metal gets the shoulder up! PHATE can’t believe it as Metal gets the shoulder up!

Chase (into the battle): Matt Metal won’t die! Unbelievable!

Phate, angered, grabs a hand full of Matt Metal’s hair while yanking him up from the mat and Irish Whips him hard into the farthest corner - - which just so happens to be the corner with the fully exposed turnbuckles! Metal’s back collides with the steel, causing him to wince in pain! Phate raises his arm to signal for the Lariat…..Phate charges in for the Lariat - - but Matt Metal gets his foot up! Phate runs forehead first into Metal’s extended boot! Phate stumbles backward; turning his back to Metal….and Matt Metal quickly scurries up to the top rope and flies off with a Diving Forearm Smash to the back of Phate’s head! Blood shoots out on impact as Metal’s forearm nails Phate right in the open wound on the back of his head! Phate crumbles to the canvas like an invertebrate dropped from a ledge! Metal hits the mat and scrambles over to the fallen Phate, rolling Phate onto his back and covering him for the pin!

Chase (into the match): Phate damn near got de-brained with that incredible Forearm Shot and he STILL KICKED OUT!

Harvey (into the contest): Let’s face it - - win or lose both of these men are going to have to go to the hospital after this!

Metal, his veteran mind at work, gets to his feet while favoring his neck and begs for Phate to get to his feet! Phate pulls himself up with the assistance of the ring ropes….Phate is back up to a vertical base with his back to Matt Metal….Phate turns to face Matt Metal….Matt Metal goes for Nu Metal (RKO) - - and Phate blocks the move, grabbing an inverted face lock and nailing Metal with the Sodomizer (Falling Reverse DDT)! Both men are down on the canvas as the audience roars!

TE - - Both men are up before the ten count! Phate stumbles to his feet, his hand clutching the back of his head as the blood from his head wound pours out and down his neck. Metal stumbles to his feet, wiping the blood out of his eyes that is constantly pouring from his head wound. Both men lock eyes…and Metal strikes before Phate can react, sending out a kick to Phate’s midsection and pulling Phate into position before lifting Phate vertical and driving his head into the canvas with a Piledriver! Phate is driven into the mat like a lawn dart, his body slumping forward from the impact! Metal quickly rolls Phate over and covers him for the pin!

Chase (into the match): Phate’s head is bleeding from all over the place and he STILL kicked out of that nasty Piledriver! Incredible! These men are pulling out all the stops!

Metal angrily grabs Phate from the mat with a front face lock, hooking Phate’s waistband and lifting Phate skyward for a Vertical Suplex! Matt Metal holds the Suplex, showing off his superior strength…and Phate makes Metal pay with a well-timed Eye Poke! Metal releases the Suplex, leaving Phate to land behind Matt Metal and grab a quick rear waist lock before dropping Matt Metal hard on his neck with a stiff Back Drop!

Chase (into the match): Phate has kicked out of TWO Nu Metals! TWO!

Metal gets to his feet first, angrily scaling the nearest corner and waiting for Phate to rise.

Metal’s neck snaps back viciously as his body slams into the mat! Metal looks damn near out of it as he gets to his knees holding his neck in agony…and Phate runs in and smacks Metal in the face with a sick Running Soccer Kick to the Face! Metal takes the shot and refuses to go down – so Phate runs in and smashes Metal with ANOTHER Running Soccer Kick to the Face! Metal’s face is bloodied beyond visibility – but he STILL refuses to go down, prompting Phate to run in and nail Metal with a THIRD Running Soccer Kick to the Face! Metal almost loses his stability but still refuses to go down! Phate, his anger at a fever pitch, runs in for ANOTHER Running Soccer Kick to the Face - - but Metal dodges the Kick, allowing Phate to run past him before aiming for Phate’s left knee with a Chop Block! Phate screams out in anguish as he grabs for his left knee and collapses to the mat!

Harvey (into the contest): Matt Metal took THREE vicious kicks to the face to deliver one well-placed Chop Block! THAT, my friends, is a strong will!

Metal makes it back to his feet holding his neck and look down at the hobbled Phate before grabbing Phate’s left leg and dragging Phate away from the ropes! Forcing Phate onto his stomach Metal grabs Phate’s left leg - - and locks Phate in an Ankle Lock! Phate yelps in agony, his knee and ankle being tweaked in the worst way possible as a bloodied Matt Metal screams out, “Tap you sonuvabitch! Tap!” Phate refuses to tap, his body going limp! Phate looks like he’s fading fast….Phate is fading…Metal torques the Ankle Lock some more….Phate is fading….Phate looks unconscious….Phate suddenly rolls forward, throwing Matt Metal forward face first into the corner with the exposed turnbuckles! Metal’s face says hello to the exposed top turnbuckle, forcing him to release the Ankle Lock! Metal falls backward clutching his face - - and Phate gets up enough momentum to spring of the farthest ropes and smack Metal in the back of the neck with a ring-rattling Lariat! Metal goes down face first, his head bouncing off the mat and giving his neck the whiplash effect! Metal is barely down for a second before he gets on all fours, shaking the cobwebs out…and Phate hobbles in and nails Metal with a Running Soccer Kick to the Face! Metal goes down like a sack of dead weight and Phate falls on top of him exhausted for the pin!

Winner: Doctor Phate

Harvey (wowed): Wow. That was one of the most violent matches in APW history! Phate pulls out the extremely hard-fought victory but he doesn’t look like a winner!

Chase (into the match): Matt Metal might have lost but he definitely proved that he still has it!

The fans all stand in appreciation and give both men a standing ovation as EMTs rush to the ring to help both men! Phate’s companion slides into the ring, helping Phate to his feet as Phate looks down at his fallen foe and smiles sadistically! An “ICON!” chant erupts from the stands as Phate and his companion leave the ring and walk up the ramp refusing the EMT’s assistance! The EMTs help Matt Metal to his feet and Metal seems taken aback when the fans explode with a chant of “You Still Got It!” as the EMTs help him out of the ring and up the ramp after he refuses a stretcher!

APW Goes to another commercial hyping up Shockwave. The Test for the Best winner, Doctor Phate gets his guaranteed title shot at Shockwave!

[President Jeff]

Coming back from commercial, it’s obvious the fans are still on their feet. The pay per view is off to a great start with matches still underway. Pyrotechnics kick off the next event with a bang. Theme music begins to play from the PA system, but is then scratched off. Attempting to play the next opponent’s theme music, crew members hurry to their sound booth to try and fix the problem. Fans sit at the edge of their seats in wait. Music begins to play once again, but scratches off and is replaced with the sound of a loud cackle of laughter throughout the arena. Just then, the lights strung about the arena fade out and the entire arena is filled with darkness. Seconds pass before anything is noticed. Just then, the stage screen beams with white light. Brighter than anyone can stand, it turns to static. Crew members race around the PA booth trying to fix the problem at hand.

Chase: Is this thing on?

Harvey: Of course it’s on; we’re just having problems with the sound booth.

Chase: Shouldn’t we cut to commercial or something?

Before anymore words are said, the screen goes back to black and the number 13 begins to glow red on the entrance screen. Fans are stunned, confused whether they should cheer or stay silent. The glowing number flashes in and out revealing a dark figure with his back turned towards the camera. Showing a man’s stature, the figure lets out a quiet chuckle before slowly turning his head toward the camera. Flashing the number 13 quickly as if having connection problems, the video clip doesn’t show much of the mysterious man, but bright flashes of the number 13. Just then, the screen jolts back to black and the arena goes quiet. A soft voice with a gentle tone breaks through, and the mystery man’s voice is heard.

Mystery Guest: The letters are only the beginning…I’m coming back, and we’re going to have fun…

As if suddenly turned on, the PA system sparks to life, screaming a song. Trying to turn down the volume of the some what ‘possessed’ sound system, crew members race to find the volume control switch as ‘Welcome to the Strange’ by Murderdolls plays through the speakers. Lights begin to flash with every drum beat played in the song. And soon, montages of quick flashing numbers begin to flicker on the giant screen to the song.

The screen goes black once more and the arena becomes dark. A few fans are left cheering from the brief light show, others still left guessing. Soon, the screen shows a close up of the bottom half of the mystery man’s face. A scarred grin with a smudged red smile spreads across the screen. The white paint cracks as the grin becomes more defined under the red smile. His lips, blistered and dry, part for words left out in the open.

Mystery Guest: The wait will soon be over…then it’s time to play…

Followed by a flash of light on the screen, the lights throughout the arena turn back on to normal and the crowd is once again left to only imagine. Left to think of who the mystery guest truly is. Only days away from his so called return; will the guest reveal who he truly is before the last moments? Harvey and Chase are both left with their mouths dropped to the announce table. Chase is covering his own mouth still looking up at the screen. The scene begins to fade before another match can start, leaving the fans waiting.

Chase: The hell was that?

Harvey: I think we’re soon going to find out whose behind those mystery letters.

Chase: This is kinda creeping me out.

Harvey: Well lets get your mind of things with our next match up.

Tony (emphatic tone): The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Action Packed Wrestling Overdrive Championship!

The lights in the arena dim as the hymn "Slavery and Suffering" by The Red Army Choir begins. Red lights brighten the pathway of Nikolai Molotov as he peers through the black velvet curtain and onto the stage. Looking out to the booing crowd, he closes his eyes and stands erect in the center stage. With his one hand cuffing his opposite wrist he seems to feed off the negativity of the people. With a smile on his face and his eyes still closed, his head tilts back and his arms spread out as the former Soviet Union communist flag lowers behind him. As the song continues, Nikolai lowers his arms, straightens his tie, and fixes the cufflinks on his white silk suit.

Tony (emphatic tone): Making his way to the ring…from Stalingrad, Russia…weighing in at 257 pounds…THIS is “THE RED SCARE” NIKOLAI MOLOTOOOOV!

Continuing his descent down the metal ramp in his black leather dress shoes, he runs his fingers through his slicked back hair and stops to look out toward the crowd before spitting at the ground in disgust. With a snarl still on his lips, he wipes the remaining spit from his lips with his forefinger and flicks it toward the crowd. Walking up the steel steps he crouches in between the ring ropes and as soon as he enters, he begins to undo his suit jacket. Taking the silk jacket off, he hands it to the referee and then undoes the front buttons on his dress shirt. After stripping off the white button up shirt as well, he pulls the bottom of his grey undershirt out from his pant waist and looks back towards the Soviet flag still lowered. The lights in the arena return to normal while The Red Army Choir hymn fades away and Nikolai awaits his opponent.

Tony (emphatic tone): And his opponent.….

"Eat You Alive" by Limp Bizkit blares throughout the arena as a ring of flames ignite from the floor! The hooded figure of “The White Lion” Michael Lively raises from the center of the flames. He lifts his head and flips his hood off revealing himself to the crowd.

Tony (emphatic tone): Making his way to the ring…. weighing in at 225 pounds and hailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida…he is the reigning and defending APW Overdrive Champion….THIS is “THE WHITE LION” MICHAEL LIVELLLLLY!

Kenny doesn’t waste any time and slides to the floor and goes right after Jeff and clubs him in the shoulder blades with a stiff forearm shot. Kenny grabs Jeff by his head and then tosses him over the ring barrier and into the fans.

Chase: The fans better get out of the way of these two.

Harvey: With the hatred Kenny has for Jeff right now, anyone who gets in his way may get hurt.

Jeff stumbles to his feet and tries to get away though the crowd but Kenny catches Jeff and hooks Jeff’s arms from behind and faces a fan with Jeff’s arms locked and a fan chops Jeff.

Chase: Kenny is getting the fans to hurt President Jeff.

Harvey: This has kind of turned into a handicap match.

Kenny lets another fan chop Jeff before letting Jeff go. Jeff heads back to the ring, but gets helped over the ring barrier when Kenny throws Jeff over it. Jeff lands next to the camera man’s wires. Kenny grabs a wire and starts choking Jeff with it. Jeff fighting the choking, and trying to get some breath, Jeff gets to his feet. The camera man is right in front of Jeff video taping. Jeff grabs the camera and swings it back, and hits Kenny in the face, knocking him down.

Chase: I never saw a counter like that before.

Harvey: This is an I quit match, these two are gonna have to do everything they can to survive.

Jeff grabs that same wire and then starts to choke Kenny with it. Kenny fights for air as the ref is in position while Jeff is screaming at Kenny to quit. Kenny manages to get his hands on the wire around his neck to loosen the choke, so Jeff drops the wire. Kenny coughs as air fills his lungs.

Jeff throws Kenny into the ropes and Kenny reverses it. Jeff comes back with a clothesline, but Kenny counts by taking Jeff down with an arm bar and then starts pulling back on Jeff arm, bending it backwards.

Chase: He’s going to beat Jeff’s arm with that hold.

Harvey: Jeff may have to quit here before his arm is broken. And Kenny is crazy enough to break it.

Kenny wrenches back on the arm and Jeff screams as he slowly pulls himself to the ropes and gets his hand on it. The ref tells Kenny to break the hold. Kenny gets up and stomps Jeff’s arm before pulling Jeff up by the arm and puts it behind Jeff’s back and gives Jeff a side belly to back suplex, crushing Jeff’s arm.

Harvey: Smart move by Kenny to try and injure Jeff’s arm. This may prevent Jeff from hitting many of his key maneuvers.

Kenny pulls Jeff up and throws him into the ropes. Kenny bends Over and Jeff jumps up and with amazing balance, stands on Kenny’s shoulder blades. And in one motion, Jeff Does a standing moonsault and as Kenny stands straight, Jeff hits Kenny with a DDT!

Chase: How the hell did he do that?

Harvey: Jeff has always been innovative in the ring, hitting moves at any time and from anywhere, and that was one example.

The move made fans clap for appreciating the move. Jeff pick Kenny up who’s holding his head and Jeff snap mares him over and then drop kicks Kenny in the back of the head.

Chase: The dragon Sleeper is one of Jeff’s Submission holds he likes to use, so attacking Kenny’s head here seems to me, the best strategy for a move like the Dragon Sleeper.

Jeff pulls Kenny up and European Uppercuts him to the corner. Kenny falls in the corner and Jeff grabs Kenny’s head and Head butts it. Jeff then starts choking Kenny on the top rope. Jeff releases the choke and with Kenny’s throat still on the ropes, Jeff jumps over the top rope and to the floor, and on his way down, grabs Kenny’s head and pulls his throat down over the rope and Kenny sling shots to the middle of the ring. Jeff walks up the ring steps and gets back into the ring. Kenny is lying on the mat, holding his throat as Jeff sits him up and yells at him “come on Kenny, Quit!” Jeff then locks on a chin lock on Kenny.

Kenny fights the Chin lock and gets to his feet and elbows his way out of it. Kenny runs off into the ropes and gets caught with a kick to the stomach from Jeff. Jeff then bounces off the ropes and hits a swinging neck breaker. Before Kenny can do anything Jeff drops a leg drop on the head of Kenny and then a big knee drop.

Harvey: With his shots to the head, Kenny may not know who he is right now.

Jeff goes over to the turn buckle and takes the padding off. Jeff waits for Kenny to get up, and Kenny does. Jeff goes and kicks Kenny in the face with the HurraKick (Superkick) and Kenny falls down.

Chase: Can’t Jeff win this match if he knocks Kenny out?

Harvey: Technically couldn’t Jeff just stop the match now and make himself the winner?

Jeff stands over a motionless Kenny and yells “Quit Kenny!” Jeff then slaps Kenny in the face before going outside the ring and shoves Tony Ferrari off his chair and then grabs the chair, folds it up and slides into the ring.

Chase: OH MY GOD!

Harvey: Jeff’s face has just been crushed!

The lights in the arena dim to the brink of utter darkness, the only light emanating from the Tron screen as the driving synthesized drum beat at the beginning of “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics begins to echo throughout the arena. The voice of Annie Lennox suddenly blares out from the speakers:

"Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused..."

As "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics gets under way a single solitary spotlight sweeps the arena, searching for the superstar using this entrance them...and it finds its target as "The Icon" Doctor Phate begins walking down to the ring. The Champ puts his son down and Little Kenny exits the ring. PHate slides into the ring and Kenny is quick to start attacking Phate and the ref rings the bell to start this match.

Kenny is pulled off by President Jeff and the fans are hating Jeff now. Kenny’s spirit is crushed as the pain fills his face as he tries to get to his feet. Kenny crawls to the corner and pulls himself up. Phate slowly gets to his feet and Kenny runs at Phate, but is stopped by President Jeff holding Kenny’s leg, Kenny fights to get his leg free, and as soon as he does, Kenny walks into a chair shot from Phate. The same chair uses in Kenny’s first match. The crowd boo’s as Phate picks Kenny up lifts Kenny up across his shoulder. Phate spins Kenny around into the SCHOOLS OUT. Phate covers.

WINNER AND NEW APW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: “THE ICON” DOCTOR PHATE

Chase: I can’t believe Kenny’s reign ended like this.

Jeff slides into the ring with the title and hands it to Phate and the crowd starts throwing garbage into the ring.

Harvey: Kenny put up one hell of a fight. And in the end, Kenny just couldn’t take anymore.

Chase: This is unreal.

Harvey: Kenny has a rematch clause in his contract, so we can expect Kenny to use it.

Chase: I hope so, Kenny should still be the champion.

Phate and President Jeff stand over a fallen Kenny Lambardo. With Little Kenny looking on, Phate raises the title in the air. The ring continues to fill with trash as Apocalypse goes off the air.
