The show opens up with a flash back of last weeks Overdrive. John Green is in the ring and says that he will issue an open challenge to anyone to fight him in a Hell in a Cell match at Carnage. And then Vinnie Hardcore comes out and accepts the challenge. The two then Brawl and then the Hardcore Kid comes out to help Vinnie but the Champ prevails and is the last man standing in the ring as Overdrives opening video plays. After the video the camera cuts to President Jeff’s office as he’s talking on his cell phone.
Jeff: Its gonna be a huge event. If they thought New Years Retribution was a great show, the have no idea what to expect with Carnage in two weeks.
*Knock Knock*
Jeff: Gotta go.
Jeff closes his cell phone.
Jeff: Come In!
The door opens and in walks 2 people from Jeff’s past that signed APW contracts last week. “Kaos” Kenny Lambardo and “Fyre Angel” Kalayla Mitchell
Jeff: Well if it isn’t Kaos and Fyre Angel. Long time no see guys.
Fyre: Its great to be here.
Kaos: Trevor told me you we’re running a federation again. I couldn’t resist but jump on the band wagon.
Jeff: Who would have thought Trevor was good for something. What can I help you guys with.
Fyre: We’re looking for a match.
Kaos: Yah, who can you give your former tag partner who you won gold with as an opponent.
Jeff: The show is full tonight. There’s no room on the card. But I promise you, next week you’ll be making your in ring debuts. Carnage is just around the corner too, so make a big impression.
Fyre: Don’t worry Jeff. Next week, we’ll make an impact and that’s a cold hard fact.
Kaos: You better believe it. Could be sooner than your think.
Jeff: What was that?
Kaos: Nothing. We know your busy Jeff, we’ll get out of your hair, its going to be nice working with you again.
Fyre Angel and Kaos leave as the camera goes to ringside.
Darren Harvey: It looks like we’ll be seeing some new faces in action next week.
Chase: I’m anxious to see what they have to offer to APW, but what a show we have tonight. The semi finals of the Xtreme title tournament will take place and we will find out just who will fight at Carnage for the title.
Harvey: Lets not forget how the Hardcore Kid been getting involved in John Greens Business, those two will be locking horns here tonight as well.
Chase: Enough talk, lets get to our first of 2 Semi final matches for the Xtreme title.
XTREME TITLE SEMI FINALS
Gordon Shumway Vs Kristina Blackwell
The camera comes in on a packed out arena before zooming in on APW Ring Announcer, Tony Ferrari as "Play With Me" by Extreme plays over the loudspeakers and Shumway slowly makes his way down to the ring to a rather passionate reaction from the crowd.
Tony Ferrari: Ladies and Gentlemen... This match is a Tables Match as part of The APW Xtreme Championship Tournament... Making his way to the ring... weighing 197 lbs... from Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada... The Loose Cannon... Gordon Shumway!!!
As he walks he hits himself in the head and pulls on his hair trying to contain the beast within. As he steps into the ring he snaps. He rips off his checkered shirt and begins kicking the ropes and pacing like a caged animal as he awaits the opening bell.
Darren Harvey: I know we seem to be saying this every week but "The Loose Cannon" Gordon Shumway's cult fan following seems to be growing with each of his matches.
Johnny Chase: The fans have always loved a lunatic. Shumway's quickly become one of the most popular Misfits in APW.
"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails echoes across the arena as the lights cut out, pink and purple strobe lights bathing the entrance ramp.
Tony Ferrari: And his opponent... led to the ring by The Sinfully Dangerous Fyre Angel... weighing 190 lbs... from Long Island, New York... The Hardcore Princess... Kristina Blackwell!!!
Fyre Angel and "The Hardcore Princess" Kristina Blackwell appear to a loud ovation from the APW Faithful, both striking the trademark Blackwell Family Crucifix Pose. They strut down to the ring pointing at Gordon Shumway and getting the crowd even more riled up.
Harvey: Looks like Kristina brought a little backup. With Fyre Angel and Sgt. Kenny Lambardo joining them recently, The Blackwells' numbers are stronger then ever...
Chase: It didn't take her long to get herself involved in a match
Fyre Angel reaches under the ring and sets up a table outside before both girls slide into the ring past Gordon and strike Crucifix Poses on opposite turnbuckles to a huge pop from the crowd.
Harvey: They seem to be rather popular with the fans as well...
Chase: Y'know with all of these high flyers like Kristina and Fyre Angel and Gordon Shumway and The Hardcore Kid and Kaos; a really good argument could be made for President Jeff to start a kickass new X Division style title... I hope the APW Brass are paying attention tonight...
Realising he's outnumbered and sensing an opportunity, Shumway calls for a ringside photographer to toss him a Steel Chair. He opens the chair and sets it up on the mat about 10 ft behind Fyre Angel. The Loose Cannon runs the ropes for some momentum and uses the chair to boost himself into the air. He lands on the top rope right behind Fyre Angel and slips an arm around her neck before wrapping his legs around her waist and launching himself backwards to bring the girl crashing through the Steel Chair with a modified Loose Marbles Reverse DDT, a loud CRACK resounding through the arena. The APW Faithful launch into the first "HOLY SHIT!" chant of the night. Gordon jumps to his feet and poses for the crowd, the rafters shaking with their deafening roar as Kristina nails him in the face with a Missle Dropkick from the top turnbuckle that sends him through the ropes out to the arena floor.
Harvey: Gordon Shumway is out of his fucking mind!!!
Chase: WHAT?!?!
Shumway grabs another Steel Chair as The Hardcore Princess builds some momentum and comes flying over the middle rope at him with a Suicide Dive. The Loose Cannon smiles sadisitcally and brings up the Steel Chair just in time to blast her in the face, both of them hitting the ground in a heap. The crowd roars again, starting to chant Shumway's name. Truly seeming to have snapped, The Loose Cannon is back on the feet on an adrenaline rush. He grabs Blackwell by the hair and viciously tosses her headfirst into the steel guardrail, busting her open. Just then, The Blacwells' numbers pay off as a dazed Fyre Angel comes flying through the ropes like a torpedo with a Corkscrew Plancha, her skull colliding with Shumway's.
Harvey: These three are going to kill themselves over this APW Xtreme Championship!!! And this isn't even Fyre Angel's match!!!
Chase: And this is a Tables Match! This is No Disqualification. There's nothing stopping Fyre Angel's interference here.
The Hardcore Princess stumbles to her feet, wiping the blood from her eyes and staggers to lean on the ring apron. Still feeling the adrenaline rush, The Loose Cannon gets to his feet and rushes his opponent. Blackwell watches him from the corner of her eye and steps aside at the last minute, taking a page from her older brother's book and sending Gordon face first into the steel ringsteps with a Drop Toehold. Shumway stumbles backwards, a small cut opened up above his left eye as Kristina rolls him into the ring. She follows him in and whips Gordon Shumway hard into a turnbuckle. Leaving a trail of blood in her wake, The Hardcore Princess sprints towards him and jumps up with her knees on his chest for a Monkey Flip but Gordon catches her and turns them around, sitting her on the top turnbuckle and making her stay there with a forearm to the solarplexis. Shumway backs up a few feet and runs at her, using amazing agility to springboard off the top rope next to her and cracking her in the back of the head with an Enziguri. The crowd breaks into a deafening roar again as The Loose Cannon falls to the mat and Kristina is knocked off the turnbuckle, free falling towards the table her partner set up eariler. Fyre Angel is one step ahead of them, however, pulling the table out of the way and sending Blackwell crashing awkwardly to the concrete below.
Harvey: HOLY CRAP!!! Fyre Angel just let Kristina Blackwell free fall fifteen feet on a concrete floor. I think the Hardcore Princess has been knocked out cold!
Chase: But that was a double edged sword, Darren. The Hardcore Princess may be hurt but at least she's still in the match. I bet The Blackwells would consider that a pretty decent tradeoff.
Security swarms in and ends up being rather successful in keeping Fyre Angel restrained for now as Shumway hops out of the ring. He grabs Kristina by the hair and pulls her to her feet, but showing the resilience that made her family famous, The Hardcore Princess brings Gordon low with a Headbutt to the groin followed by a skull cracking DDT to the concrete that opens up the cut on The Loose Cannon's eye a bit more. She rolls him into the ring and slides in after him with a Steel Chair in her hand. She tosses the chair to Shumway and he catches it before getting it blasted into his face with a Spinning Heel Kick from Kristina Blackwell. Gordon's face is now a crimson mask that now matches the gore that covers Kristina. She puls Shumway to his feet and whips him towards the ropes by the table Fyre Angel set up at the beginning of the match. Kristina follows him to the ropes and tries to send him over with a Clothesline but The Loose Cannon ducks, stopping and turning on dime to send Blackwell over with a Dropkick to the back of the head. The Hardcore Princess catches herself on the ring apron and gets herself to a vertical base as Gordon runs the ropes, leaping over her and hooking his arms around her waist. Fyre Angel breaks free of APW Security and saves her friend's ass again, pulling the table out of the way as Shumway brings her down with a brutal Sunset Flip Powerbomb that bounces the back of Kristina's head on the side of the table before crashing down to the concrete below. Fyre Angel immediately rushes Gordon Shumway, nearly taking his head off with a Superkick before Security restrains her again.
Harvey: Fyre Angel has saved Kristina Blackwell from losing this match twice now but she's going to wind up giving her a fucking concussion if The Hardcore Princess's head keeps bouncing off that concrete!
Chase: But the important thing is that Kristina Blackwell is still in the match! She hasn't lost her chance for the APW Xtreme Championship!
The Beast inside "The Loose Cannon" Gordon Shumway helps him shake off the effects of Fyre Angel's Superkick. He stands up and grabs Kristina by the hair. Another hand grabs her by the seat of the pants and sends a dazed Hardcore Princess flying into Fyre Angel and the Security Officers like a bowling ball. He rushes them, using Blackwell's back as a springboard a la The Hardy Boyz' Poetry In Motion and wraps his legs around Fyre Angel's heck to bring her over with a Corkscrew Hurricanrana that whips the APW Faithfull into a frenzy once again. But The Hardcore Princess is back on her feet. She grabs Shumway by his blood soaked hair and bends him over, hooking his arms in a Double Underhook and jumping into the air, bringing him crashing to the concrete with the Angel's Wings. The rafters of the arena shake as the crowd is now just one continuous deafening wave of sound. Fyre Angel now back on her feet reaches into her tights and pulls out a bottle of lighter fluid. She douses the table with it and puts it in place before reaching into a boot and pulling out a Zippo Lighter.
Harvey: Looks like Fyre Angel has learned a few tricks from her former relationship with Kristina's brother, Tony. But I think she was already a pyromaniac to begin with...
Chase: This is amazing!!! You just can't watch Hardcore Wrestling like this anywhere else on TV!!!
The APW Faithfull make it so you can't even hear yourself think as Fyre Angel lives up to her namesake and sets the table ablaze with blue and white flames. A wicked smile crosses Kristina Blackwell's blood covered lips as she pulls The Loose Cannon to his feet and up onto the ring apron. But The Loose Cannon turns around and starts brawling with The Hardcore Princess on the ring apron. Gordon gains the advantage and wraps an arm around Kristina for a DDT but Blackwell hooks her arm around the top rope and blocks it. Gordon goes back anyway and almost puts himself through the flaming table but catches himself on the ropes He gets about halfway to his feet before Kristina wraps an arm around his neck this time and runs up the turnbuckle, flipping backwards to ride his body through the flaming table with The Stiletto Kisser. She rolls away quickly enough as the bell rings, patting desperately at her smoldering outfit. Gordon Shumway isn't so lucky. His clothes burst into flames as paramedics rush him, putting him out with fire extinguishers and drop cloths as "Sober" by Nine Inch Nails starts to play.
Winner: "The Hardcore Princess" Kristina Blackwell
Harvey: That was absolutely amazing! "The Hardcore Princess" Kristina Blackwell moves on in the APW Xtreme Championship tournament with a little help from Fyre Angel.
Chase: That's bullshit. Gordon Shumway was prepared for all of this. This match had No Disqualification so there wasn't a damn thing he could say about Fyre Angel's presence. But call a spade a spade. Fyre Angel may have set that table on fire but Kristina Blackwell put her own career at risk to put "The Loose Cannon" Gordon Shumway through that flaming table all by herself. This just got very interesting. Kristina may be facing Razor Ryan for the APW Xtreme Championship at Carnage or she very well may have to go up against her own flesh in blood in "The Career Killer" Trevor Blackwell!
Kristina backs up the entranceway, covered in blood with an arm around Fyre Angel as the camera goes to commercial
