Overdrive - Kansas City, Missouri (07/08/08)

[President Jeff]

As Overdrive begins, and streams live on television, the video recapping the Test for the Best PPV plays. The camera view then changes capturing Sabur standing in the backstage area. The video recapping Test 4 the Best plays on the monitors backstage. Sabur pops four pills in his mouth, and cracks open a beer. He washes down his pain medication with a large swig, since being split open, he’s had a ringing headache, and the stitches still throb. Sabur shakes his head, takes another swig of beer. Tony Blackwell then appears over the shoulder of the Irish Hammer...and the popping sound of his can of liquid refreshment then rings out. The Xtremist's can is non-alcoholic, but pack plenty of energy. Sabur glances back at the Xtremist, who offers an evil glare back. It's no secret that these two don't see eye to eye on a lot of topics. As Sabur looks back at the monitor, The clip of the bell ringing and the ref handing over the tag team titles to the new champions plays. Simultaneously the Irish Hammer and the War Priest of Kaos shake their heads in disgust.

Sabur: Wow...of all the people to beat "That Team" it was "The Team"....

Tony: Yeah everyone said that "That Team” was unbeatable...

Sabur: You're telling me?....I'm truly amazed that the Jobbers beat me and the weak link, let alone beat the Broad Squad for the straps. It just shows you anything really can happen here in APW...

Tony: Amen to that.... And watch your mouth.

The two look at each other with evil glares, amazed they agreed on something. Tony takes another swig from his Monster, and then speaks.

Tony: The tag team division is ripe for the picking now...I mean it's almost like free gold sitting out in the open as long as it's in those two's hands...

Sabur: Yep....now some team is going to capitalize on their good fortune, bring home the gold for themselves. DAMN MAN....them being champion’s disgusts me...

Tony: I bet it disgusts Razor more…

Sabur: Cheers to that......that freaking guy...

Sabur raises his beer can; Tony slaps his can with Sabur's. The two of them take swigs of their collective beverages, crumple the cans, and walk off in different directions. The opening video of Overdrive then play's






Once the video ends, Pyro shoots through out the arena and the camera’s cut to ringside

Chase: Welcome to Monday Night Overdrive.

Harvey: What a night Test for the Best was. We saw Doctor Phate defeat Vin E Lambardo and Austin Daniels in the same night to be the APW 2008 Test for the Best winner. He’s be main eventing Shockwave against the World Champ.

Chase: That’s not all that happened, APW President Jeff backstabbed his best friend, Kenny Lambardo after their win. All week we been wondering why, hopefully tonight we find out.

Harvey: And congrats to Jason Royce and The Hardcore Kid for shocking the Wrestling world when they defeated Spirit and Diana Steel to capture the APW Tag Team Titles.

Chase: We got a night full of action, so let’s go to the ring for the opening match.

Razor Ryan Vs Diana Steel Vs Fyre Angel

Tony: The opening contest is a triple threat match

“Shout at the Devil” by Motley Crue plays as Razor Ryan comes out to the ring and slaps a few fans hands

Tony: Making his way to the Ring first, Razor Ryan.

Razor gets into the ring and waits for his opponents. The lights dim as Thoughtless by Evenescence plays as fireworks shoots up in a wall of fireworks. The fireworks die down as Kalayla stands on the stage giving the fans a sick smirk the spotlight reflecting off two ninja sais.

Tony: Coming down to the ring, Fyre Angel

She makes her way down the ramp stopping at the bottom of the ramp. Kalayla reaches up grabbing the middle rope pulling herself up and turning to face the stage kicking her long legs up over her head back flipping into the ring posing for the fans. The lights go out and "The Warrior's Code" By the Dropkick Murphy's starts to play. As the crowd begins to uproar the ramp becomes illuminated and "That Girl" Diana Steel can be seen walking toward the ring making every obscene gesture you can think of on her way.

Tony: And the final competitor, from Long Island New York, Diana Steel Lambardo

Once she makes her way into the ring she blows one kiss and waits for her chance to fight.. The ref calls for the bell and the match gets on its way.

Chase: This is going to be an interesting match up.

Harvey: Anyone could win this one Johnny.

The three of them circle one another and then “Raining Blood” By Slayer hits the PA.

Chase: What’s President Jeff’s music doing playing?

Just then the fans boo as APW owner, Hurricane Jeff walks out from behind the curtains and makes his way towards the ring. Razor, Diana and Fyre all just stand in the ring looking at Jeff not sure what’s going on.

Harvey: Maybe Jeff is coming out here to tell us the secret.

Chase: Don’t hold your breath.

Jeff slides into the ring and walks straight towards Razor and kicks him in the stomach and then grabs him and throws him right into Fyre Angel and they both go crashing through the ropes and to the floor.

Chase: What is president Jeff doing.

Jeff looks over at Kenny Lambarod’s wife. Diana and he start’s walking towards her and backs her into a corner. Diana is begging Jeff to stop and Jeff ask for a microphone. One is handed to him.

Jeff: First of all, Mr. time keeper, ring the bell, this match is over.

The bell rings and the match if officially over.

Winner: No Contest.

With Diana in the corner, Jeff walks up to her as he speaks.

Jeff: It’s your fault Diana. It’s ALL YOUR FAULT! What I did to Kenny at Test for the Best last Sunday was all your fault. If you would have just been a good person and told Kenny the secret from the beginning, then we wouldn’t be in this mess. If you wouldn’t have come to me, then again, we wouldn’t be in this mess. You messed up Diana, and now I’m the bad guy in all this.

Diana is starting to cry

Jeff: I did nothing wrong. I was being your friend when you needed one the most three years ago Diana. And for being the good guy that I am, the good hearted person, it some how turned me into one of the most hated guys in APW right now. So since I’m the bad guy in all this now, I’m going to give everyone a reason to hate me.

Jeff drops the microphone and grabs Diana and raises his fist and just then the fans cheer as Thje APW World Champion Kenny Lambardo runs out to the ring. Jeff spots him and quickly slides out as Kenny Slides in.

Chase: Kenny showed up just in time.

Harvey: But Jeff is running away like a coward.

Jeff heads up the ramp as Kenny has a few choice words for Jeff as he checks on Diana as Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air with a clip from what he just saw of Jeff telling Diana that it’s her fault that everything between him and Kenny is happening and then Kenny runs out to the ring to save her before Jeff could hurt her.

Chase: I can’t believe what we just saw between Jeff and Diana.

Harvey: Kenny is gonna destroy Jeff now. You never put your hands on another mans wife, even threaten another mans wife.

Chase: I have a feeling this thing between those two isn’t over yet.

Harvey: But Up next we have a real barn burner

Chase: Yep The Iceman one on one with the Xtremist Tony Blackwell

Jason Royce Vs Tony Blackwell

Ferarri: Hailing from Long Island, New York...he stands 6’7" tall, and officially weighed in at 255 lbs. for tonight contest

"Killing in the Name Of..." By Rage Against the Machine pounds at the sound system

Ferarri: The former Xtreme champion of the world...The Xtremist Tony Blackwell

The camera pans back to the entrance stage to see ‘The Xtremist’ Tony Blackwell ride onto the stage to the hatred of the crowd. Tony Blackwell raises a fist to the air, and slams it onto the handle bar causing flames to erupt from either side of the ramp. This merely causes more booing, and the suppressing power of angry fans pelting garbage at him. In response, Tony Blackwell stands over his bike, and points out from one side of the arena to the other, and brings his arms down in an ‘X’ over his crotch. The fans boo ever louder. Tony rides down the ramp to ringside, and parks the bike right there. He makes his way onto the apron, and climbs over the third rope. The heir to the Blackwell legacy slides his leather duster off his body and throws it at the ref. Afterwards, Tony climbs the turnbuckle and begins to strike the trademark crucifix pose. In mid arm extension he raises his arms, striking a very Kenny Lambardo “ I am God” pose. The brawling behemoth climbs off the corner and waits for his prey…

Ferarri: Now his opponent...he hails from Chicago, Ill, he stands 6'1 and officially weighed in at 222 lbs for this contest,

Scars by Papa Roach blares on the Pa.

Ferarri: He is one half of the tag team champions of the world...The Iceman....Jason Royce

Jason Royce comes out through the curtains to a mixed reaction of the crowd. Mostly cheering the man, he unstraps his new title, and holds it up for the crowd and poses as pyro goes off. The lights flash like camera bulbs snapping, he flexes then heads to the ring. Royce makes it to the ring climbs the ropes outside, the stands on the outside turnbuckles, holding up his title for the crowd, then shows it to Tony Blackwell. Tony looks angrily at The Iceman, as if Jason was mocking the fact that he now has a title while Blackwell doesn't at the moment. Royce jumps into the ring, hands his title over to the ref. The official then passes the title to the ring attendant, and turns to the time keeper calling for the bell and the match is under way. The Iceman and The Xtremist look each other over, then circle and meet in the middle of the ring for a good old fashion collar and elbow lock up. Jockeying for position, both men’s legs dig deep for leverage. Tony Blackwell in a burst of power tosses Jason Royce backwards into the ropes. The Iceman then shakes his arms off trying to pump himself up, they meet once again for a lock up, Blackwell shrugs the arm of the tag team champion aside, and lock the Iceman in a bear hug. The vice grip lock of Blackwell’s hands are squeezing the air out of the Iceman. Tony shakes the Iceman back and forth violently trying to loosen up Royce, and squeeze more. Jason seems to be slipping out, Tony feels Jason fading, swivels his hips, and spine busters the Iceman to the mat. Blackwell hooks a leg for the cover...

shoulder up for Jason Royce.

Chase: Jason has more fight in him then that.

Harvey: Yeah I mean he is one half of the tag team champions.

Chase: WHAT??? Just Kidding.

Blackwell picks up Jason by his hair, drapes his arm over his shoulder, and hoists him up for a standing suplex. The Xtremist with great strength holds Jason high letting the blood rush to his head. The Iceman swings his legs quickly while grabbing Tony's chin driving the younger Blackwell to the mat head first. Royce a little dizzy, and stunned from the counter move, staggers to his feet. Blackwell has raised as well, Jason runs clotheslines Blackwell to the mat, then quickly climbs to the top turnbuckle. Leaps out, driving an elbow into the chest of Tony. Jason rolls over for a pin...

Harvey: He should have hooked a leg

Chase: You can't expect to pin a Blackwell for a three with out hooking a leg

Harvey: Or tights, hair, or pulling on the ropes

Chase: Yes these guys don't like lying on their back for too long


They both stand, Tony charges goes low driving his shoulder into the gut of Royce. The Iceman's back slams into the corner, and Blackwell drives the shoulder into the gut a few more times. Royce holding the ropes to keep himself up, while Blackwell backs up, runs and connects with a running clothesline into the corner, pummeling the Iceman. Blackwell steps back letting Jason fall face first to the mat. Blackwell flexes his pectoral muscle, then reaches down picking the Iceman up.

Hand on the rope Jason got his hand on the rope just in time. Blackwell up a little angry with the save from the Iceman. Jason then leg trips Tony Blackwell transitioning it into a STF. He cranks back on Tony's neck, while the leg is trapped. The ref is in close asking Tony if he gives. Tony's hand is close to tapping out, but yet still holds on. The ref again asking as Tony yells out in pain "NO". Jason then lets off the submission realizing the Xtremist isn't going to tap. As Blackwell makes it up, Jason kicks him in the gut. Hooks his head for a DDT. Leaps into the air, and then swings down sitting out driving Blackwell's head to the mat. Royce then climbs to the top turnbuckle again. Leaps out corkscrewing his body into a splash on Tony Blackwell. Royce quickly to his feet knowing the Xtremist isn't finished. Picks him up, scoops him up then invert him in the corner for the tree of whoa. The Iceman then walks to the other side of the ring, holds his hand in the air for a pop from the crowd, runs over with a leaping dropkick to Tony's face. Blackwell’s leg comes free from the force, melts to the canvas. Royce rolls over the Xtremist for the pin.

Barley made it out...Royce with a little frustration on his face stands followed by Tony Blackwell. Jason goes for a round house kick, Blackwell leans back as the kick wizzes by his face. Tony then hooks Royce in a arm and neck trap, then flips him over with the arm and neck suplex. Jasons body crashes to the mat. Blackwell tired from the back and forth assault the two have just exchanged with each other. He steps through the ropes, and slowly climbs to the top rope. Leap out with the Moltiv Bomb. He then misses Royce to his feet, climbs the rops as Blackwell gets to his feet. The Iceman leaps out for a top rope bulldog. Tony's face hits the mat. The both get up as Jason has the quicker edge at the moment. He irish whips Blackwell into the corner. Jason runs and gets caught with a big boot to the face. Jason stagers backward, gets kicked in the gut, then pulled in for a powerbomb. Tony drops him with one powerbomb while holding on, then turns powerbombing Jason on the top turnbuckle, the repositioning him again, runs across the ring releasing him for a jackknife on the opposite turnbuckle.

Winner: “The Xtremist” Tony Blackwell

Tony Celebrates his win and then picks Jason up and starts attacking him, kicking him mostly and the bell keeps ringing. Jason’s tag team partner, The Hardcore Kid runs down to the ring as he slides in, Sabur starts running down to the ring. The Kid starts attacking Tony and Sabur gets into the ring and Clotheslines the Kid down from behind.

Chase: Why is Tony and Sabur working together.

Sabur picks the Hardcore Kid up and hits him with the House of Pain, laying him out next to Jason. Sabur and Tony then both raise their arms over the fallen tag champs.

Harvey: I think from what we saw at the opening of this show, those two don’t like who they see as the Tag Champs.

Chase: But Sabur and Tony Blackwell are working together?

Harvey: We need to go to a commercial break.

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air and backstage you see Matt Metal and APW Xtreme Champion John Green talking.

Green: Metal, what’s this I hear that Spirit isn’t here tonight.

Metal: Spirit had a family emergency to attend to.

Green: So who am I fighting tonight then?

Metal: Don’t worry about it. Just go out to the ring and I’ll take care of it.

Green walks off as the camera’s go to ringside.

Chase: Big win at Test for the Best for John Green, winning the Xtreme Title.

Harvey: The challenge now is to keep it.

Chase: But with Spirit not here tonight, I wonder who his opponent is gonna be

Harvey: It should be interesting to find out.


"Between Angels and Insects" by Papa Roach hits the P.A. system and the crowd gets on their feet as Green walks from behind the curtain. Green stands at the beginning of the ramp as he looks at the crowd with a smile on his face.

Tony: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, he is the APW Xtreme Champion, John Green

Green starts to walk down the ramp slapping the hands of fans. John then runs the rest of the way to the ring and goes to a turn buckle and does his Signature "Retribution" pose. He then jumps off the turnbuckle and goes to another turnbuckle. The crowd gets on their feet again as he poses on the turnbuckle. He jumps off and his music fades

Tony: And his opponent.

Everyone sits in silence waiting to see who his opponent will be.

"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.

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. In his hands, he's carrying a large roadside that reads "Welcome 2 Upriver".

Tony: Making his way to the ring, from Upriver, New Brunswick, Canada. Weighing in at 267 lbs, Dr. Matt!

Matt makes his way down to the ring to loud cheers from the fans. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope. With the road sign in his hand, he runs at Green and smashes Green in the face with it. Green goes down and Matt gets on top of him and starts punching him in the face. Matt gets off Green and Green rolls out of the ring.

Chase: I think this was the last person Green expected to go face to face with here tonight.

Harvey: Has this match even started?

Matt quickly goes to the outside and as Green is trying to get away, Matt clubs him from behind with a forearm shot and then bounces Green’s head off the guard rail. The fans are loving this action. Matt takes Green and brings him to the announcer table and slams Green’s face on the table. With the ring steps there, Matt goes to throw Green into the ring steps, but Green Reverses it and Matt it’s the ring steps with his shoulder.

Chase: If Green was smart, he’d run away.

Harvey: Or he’d show the world that he is Xtreme and live up to being the Xtreme Champion.

With Matt holding his shoulder, Green takes a chair and jabs it in Matt’s stomach, knocking the air out of him. Bent over, Green takes the chair and slams it down across the back of Dr. Matt. Green slides the chair into the ring and then grabs another chair and slides that into the ring. Green takes Matt and rolls him into the ring.

Chase: What’s John Green going to do with two chairs?

Green lifts Matt up and punches him to the mat. Green takes the two chairs and lays then on top of one another.

Harvey: I think Green is going to give Matt a spine buster onto those chairs.

Green picks Matt up and throws him into the ropes. Matt comes back and Green picks Matt up for a spinebuster, but Matt counters with a DDT, drilling Green’s head into the chairs.

Chair: What a counter by Dr. Matt

Harvey: Is this even a match anymore?

Matt grabs a chair and lays it on Green’s face and then stomps the chair. Matt then picks up the chair and waits for Green to get to his feet. Matt is leveling Green up and the fans are anticipating the home run swing. Green is up, Matt swings, but Green ducks. Matt turns around and Green kicks Matt right in the groin. The fans boo and Matt goes down.

Harvey: A cheap way out.

Green takes the two chairs and sets them up so the two seats are facing each other. With the chair’s between the two men, Matt pulls himself up on the chair and Green takes Matt and hooks his arms.

Chase: The Headsplitter on the chairs!

Just as Green jumps to hit the move, Matt stands up and holds Green’s legs. Matt then flips Green over and gives Green the Doctors Orders (Alabama Slam) Green goes through the chairs as Matt raises his arms and his music begins to play.

Chase: Green just got his butt handed to him by a legend here tonight.

Harvey: Lets just see how Xtreme John Green is after this.

Matt celebrates as Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on with a recap of the beating Dr. Matt gave John Green. Backstage, you see Green walking past Twister and Austin Daniels who are getting ready to head to the ring.

Twister: Good job out there Mr. Xtreme Champion.

Austin: Why to show your Xtremness.

John Just looks at the both of them.

Austin: I think I’m more Xtreme than John Green.

Twister: I know that I’m more Xtreme than John Green.
Austin: I could beat John Green while I was sleeping

Twister: I could beat John Green with both hands tied behind my back.

Austin: I could beat John Green with both hands and feet tied behind my back while eating a burrito.

Twister: So could I.

Twister and Daniels look at Green and laugh at him.

Green: Any time boys, I’ll show you Hardcore?

Twister: You mean you’ll show us your porn collection?

Austin: I bet you its all male porn

Twister: Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Green: If you think you guys are funny, let me tell you, your not. And when we step into the ring, your going to see why I’m the Xtreme Champion and why I was the first APW Champion.

Green walks away angry.

Twister: You think we made him mad?

Austin: Nah, he know’s we we’re just having fun.

Twister and Daniels laugh as we go to the ring.

Tony (emphatic tone): Making his way to the ring…from Winnipeg, Canada…weighing in at 235 pounds…THIS is TWISTER!

Twister pauses at the top of the stage momentarily as the light brightens slightly around him and gold pyro surround him on the stage. He works his way down the ramp way jawing with a few fans on the way down the red light following him down the ramp way, a permanent smirk always etched on his face. Twister then stops a foot or so before the ring, the red glow engulfs the ring as Twister sprints up and slides through the ropes and bounces up in the ring. He poses for the thousands of cameras around the ring as the lights slowly come back to normal.

Tony (emphatic tone): And his tag team partner….

The lights go out in the arena. “Hillbilly Deluxe” by Brooks and Dunn hits the sound system as a red light 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.

Tony (emphatic tone): From “Hotel Rooms Across the Country”…weighing in at 245 pounds…THIS is “THE ACE” AUSTIN DANIELS!

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 crucifix pose, as red flames explode behind him exposing just his silhouette until they die down.

Tony (emphatic tone): And their opponents….

The arena goes dark and a hush falls over the crowd as the loudspeakers make the entire room vibrates with The KaotiK's favorite sound... A woman's voice screaming, "Oh... Oh... Oh Kaos... You're a god!" Dimebag Darryl's famous guitar rift from Pantera's "Walk" assaults the fans... "RE... SPECT... WALK...", before cutting off abruptly with a DJ's record scratch... Soulja Boy's voice echoes across the arena.

"WE GOT A NEW DANCE FOR YOU... WE CALL IT THE SOLDIER BOY"

As Travis Barker's evil metal drums lead into "Soulja Boy" by Soulja Boy. The lights flash back on, the camera finally searching for Kenny Lambardo before swinging around in blur to show The KaotiK one rushing through the crowd with Victor Brander right behind him.

Tony (emphatic tone): Weighing in at a combined weight of 430 pounds…they are the team of “the Lone Wolf” Victor Brander and the Action Packed Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion KENNY LAMBAAAAARDOOO!

Lambardo slaps hands and pounds fists with the rabidly loyal fans that desperately reach for him like Christ walking through Nazareth. He stops and kisses a beautiful blonde before hopping up on the guard rail and facing his faithful to strike his trademark "I Am God" pose as women and homosexuals grab at his clothes. He launches himself backwards into a spin, landing on the ring apron before running across in and straight up the turnbuckle to strike another "I Am God" pose as the fans chant, "KAOS! KAOS! KAOS!." He hops down from the turnbuckle and sprints across the ring to run straight up the opposite turnbuckle to repeat this maneuver to the sound of more love from the crowd.* He hops down again and walks to middle of the ring, pacing back and forth like a caged animal in anticipation of his opponent. He stops to look straight into the camera and give a loud Marines style, "HOOAHHH". Brander, as always, is a lot more subdued, hopping the guard rail and sliding into the ring under the bottom rope before standing upright and locking eyes with both of his opponents.

Chase (ready for the match): This should be an interesting match due to the history between the combatants….but you have to wonder is the APW Champion’s mind gonna be on this match?

Harvey (addressing Chase): That isn’t even up for debate! Of course his mind is NOT gonna be on this match! President Jeff tried to smash his wife’s face in earlier because of this damn secret we’ve been hearing about for weeks now!

Chase (agreeing): Very good point. This secret, evidentally, is dangerous enough to force Jeff to confront Diana Lambardo - - what’s to say he won’t attack her while Kenny’s wrestling here tonight?

Harvey (addressing Chase): EXACTLY. How the Champ’s gonna be able to focus on this match and this match alone is beyond me!

Twister and Austin Daniels vs. Victor Brander and Kenny Lambardo


The referee calls for the bell and this match is under way! Brander and Daniels start the contest for their teams. Brander shoots in, grabbing Daniels with a Rear Waist Lock….Daniels breaks the Waist Lock, grabbing Brander’s right arm and locking in an Arm Wrench….Daniels rolls forward to break the Arm Wrench – but Daniels rolls forward with him! Brander goes for a forward cartwheel to break the Arm Wrench – but Daniels forward cartwheels with him, maintaining the Arm Wrench! Brander, angered, does what any man in his situation would do - - poke Daniels in the eye! Daniels releases the hold, his eye in agony, and Brander quickly tags Lambardo. Lambardo charges Daniels – and Daniels drops him with a Drop Toe Hold! Kenny’s face smacks the canvas as Daniels quickly tags in Twister! Lambardo angrily charges Twister – and Twister takes Lambardo over with a beautiful Deep Arm Drag! Twister tightens his hold on Lambardo’s right arm as Kenny smacks the mat with his left hand in frustration!

Harvey (addressing Chase): See? He’s not mentally in this match! When the Champ’s on his game he NEVER gets caught with moves like that!

Lambardo angrily makes it back to his feet, Twister maintaining his Arm Lock. Twister twists Kenny’s arm….and Kenny levels Twister with a sudden Short Arm Clothesline! Twister hits the canvas hard - - and Lambardo snaps, stomping and kicking the downed Twister like a madman! Before the referee can initiate a five count Brander smartly tags himself back into the match and drops down for the pin!

Twister sprints forward, jumping to tag his partner - - but Brander catches Twister in mid-jump and tries to paralyze him with an STO Backbreaker! Twister’s back bends awkwardly across Brander’s right knee as Brander pounces on top of Twister for the pin!

THRE - - NO! KICKOUT! Brander is incensed as the fans begin a “Let’s Go Twister!” chant and Austin stomps the ring apron to try and get his partner going!

Chase (into the match): Twister refuses to go down as these fans and Austin rally behind him!

Brander angrily yanks Twister to his feet…..Twister is out on his feet in front of Brander…Brander goes for a Middle Round Kick to Twister’s ribs - - and Twister catches Brander’s leg, scooping Brander and drilling him into the canvas with a Spinebuster! Both men are down as the crowd and Austin try to will Twister over to the corner for the tag! Brander grabs for Twister’s leg to stop him from getting the pin - - but he grabs a bit too late as Twister dives forward and tags Austin in! Austin hops the top rope, nailing Brander right between the eyes with a Flying Knee Strike! Brander goes down like the temperature in a cold room, prompting Daniels to hop back over the top rope to the ring apron and spiral onto the prone Brander’s body with a Slingshot Corkscrew Body Press! Brander looks hurt as Daniels hops up! Daniels is on fire - - until Lambardo runs up from behind him, grabbing a ¾ face lock and running up the nearest corner to deliver an Ego Crusher (Corkscrew Acid Drop) to Daniels out of nowhere! Daniels is out as Twister runs in for the save - - and Lambardo nails him with a quick version of the Ego Crusher (RKO)!

Harvey (into the match): NOW the Champ’s running on all cylinders! Beautiful pair of Ego Crushers!

Lambardo looks ready to cover Daniels…but he catches Hurricane Jeff walking down the entrance ramp!

Chase (into the match): …and that running on all cylinders is officially over as President Jeff makes himself known! What is he doing out here?

Harvey (addressing Chase): Isn’t it obvious? He’s out here to mess with the Champ!

Lambardo angrily stares down the President. Jeff goes to hop up on the ring apron - - and Lambardo quickly hops out of the ring after Jeff! Jeff runs up the ramp with Lambardo hot on his tail! Brander, his body battered a little, realizes his partner has left - - and turns right into Austin Daniels’ Ace In The Hole (Ranhei)! Brander’s neck is driven into the canvas so hard that he pops up to his feet…and right into Twister’s Wind Breaker (Impact DDT)! Brander is out cold as Daniels falls on top of him for the pin!

Winners: Austin Daniels and Twister

Daniels and Twister, both favoring their necks thanks to the Ego Crusher, celebrate their victory a bit but both look curious as to what the hell is going on with Jeff and Lambardo.

Chase (confused): This night has gotten weirder and weirder with each passing match! Lambardo just left “The Lone Wolf” in there with the wolves to go after President Jeff!

Harvey (addressing Chase): Something tells me that we are going to find out a WHOLE lot more about this secret before the night is through!

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air with a clip of President Jeff distracting Kenny Lambardo and Kenny chasing Jeff leaving Brander to get beat by Twister and Austin Daniels. Tony Ferrari is standing in the ring as we the camera pan's back from the audience.

Tony: Ladies and Gentleman, it is now time to introduce the winner of the Test for the Best, the Icon Dr Phate!



The lights in the arena dim to the brink of utter darkness, the only light emanating from the Tron screen as the vocals of Dance mega-sensations Daft Punk echo throughout the arena before the voice of Kanye West comes piping through the speakers:

"That-that-that-that-that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger.
I need you to hurry up now
'Cuz I can't wait much longer.
I know I gots to be right now
'Cuz I can't get much wronger;
Man, I been waitn' all night now
That's how long I been on ya!"

As "Stronger" by Kanye West 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 cuts through the audience, leading them in a sing-along of his theme music! Hopping the guardrail, Phate hops up to the ring apron and motions coyly for Tony to hold open the ropes for him. Tony holds open the ropes....and Phate steps through, rubbing his skirt-covered ass against Tony's crotch! The Tonyfreaks out as Phate winks and makes a "Call Me" motion with his hand before dancing a little provocatively to the beat of his theme and singing along with the spectators.

Chase: Is he really the best, did he really past the test, is he the tested one to be the bested one?

Harvey: You know, its time like these I which I could just kill you!

The fan's then start to cheer his name…constant chants of Doctor Phate reign down on the winner of Test for the Best. Phate looks around and then starts to speak.

Phate: Respect, respect is the very nature of this business, and last Sunday I can officially call myself, Mr Test for the Best. I mean you can train hard, I just train smart. You can wrestle hard, I just wrestled smart, you can win…Dr Phate just win's easy!

Phate raises his hands and smiles, getting a pop back

Phate: So I guess it remains for me to receive my crown, my staff and my robe, all of which make's me officially Mr Test for the Best!

Then the lights go down and a gold haze fills the arena. Then imagine Jerry The King Lawler's music playing as then 20 well dressed Women in long cocktail dresses arrive all carrying Dr Phate's robe, Crown and staff. Phate just smiles and he stands in the ring as he is dressed, before then starting to chat some of the girls up, eventually he gives one his staff and another his robe but when one tries to reach for his crown, he tells her to clear off! The music dies down and then Dr Phate just smiles before modeling his crown and walking around the ring with the two remaining girls.

Chase: Ah what I would give to be Dr Phate right now!

Harvey: I know, the winner of Test for the best, getting a title shot at Shockwave, the event of the summer!

Chase: No, to have those girls by my side, yahoo!

You Can't Stop…Nu Metal…On the Block!

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 GM for Life T-Shirt on with grey tracksuit trousers and wrestling boots on. Metal then stomps out onto the stage as Come with me by P Diddy plays over the P.A system. Metal then walks out and then stand on the ramp looking around as the audience gives out a huge cheer, while Dr Phate is stood in the ring looking really pissed, so much that he has let go of the girls on his arms! Metal just smirks and then slowly starts to walk to the ring as the ring announce her job.

Harvey: Here is the General Manager of Action Packed Wrestling, guess he must be coming out to congratulate the winner of Test for the Best!

Chase: Or remember the fact that Phate called Metal an Old Man, and that didn't sit well with Matt Metal at all!

Metal gets into the ring and stands face to face with Dr Phate, who is alone and both men are stood one on one in the ring. The music stops as the fan cheer at the fact that both men are at a stand off.

Metal: Dr Phate, I am going to ignore what you said at Test for the Best, and I’m going out here to congratulate you on your success at Test for the Best, and that's mainly winning.

Metal then holds his hand out for Dr Phate to shake, but that is ignored by Dr Phate who grabs the microphone of Metal…

Phate: You know, it is things like this that really gets to me, this is my time, my time to celebrate my success, I don't need a former has been like you, our general manager, getting in my way of my moment of success, so stick your tail in between your legs and run along….Old Man!

Metal: Whoa, listen, I've come out here to whish you luck, you may have won Test for the best, but you are not World Heavyweight Champion, you got lucky on one night and that’s it, remember that…..

Phate interrupts Metal: No, remember this, that your time in the ring is gone, my I remind you that you lost your match, and from the list of injuries you have, all I see is a broken old man trying to live out a dream, a dream when years and years ago he was the very best in this business, but not now…Now it is the turn of an Icon to hold that title, the turn of……

Metal then interrupts Phate: A man dressed as a freaking schoolgirl! Phate you think you are the next legend of the business, the next legend of APW and the Next APW World Champion, prove it…Tonight…One on One with Matt Metal, put it all on the line and show the freaking world that you are just better that me…..

Phate just stares at Metal, who returns the stare, but the noise level's go up through the roof.

Phate: Matt Metal vs. The Icon, Dr Phate? Tonight…..Matt Metal I tell you what, NAAAAAAA!

Dr Phate just drop's the microphone and roll's out of the ring and walk's out to the back of the arena up the ramp, while Phate's Music play's on the P.A System.

Harvey: Phate doesn't want to face Matt Metal, why?

Chase: I guess Metal and Phate isn't going to happen tonight!

Metal: Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, cut the music everyone right now!

The music stops and Dr Phate turns around just as he is about to walk out via the titantron.

Metal: You forget just who I am, that’s the general manager. Dr Phate, whether you want to face me or not, at apocalypse, you will have to. Because I think it’s about time I gave you a little yellow bus, and take you to school. It’s Dr Phate vs. Matt Metal!

The fans cheer as Dr Phate then turns around and gives Metal a stare before walking off

Chase: WHAT? Matt Metal Verses Doctor Phate at Apocalypse!

Harvey: What a match that is going to be. Our first match announced for Apocalypse and a big one it is

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back with a clip of Matt Metal making the first match for Apocalypse.

Harvey: What a wild and crazy night we’ve had here so far.

Chase: And now its time for our main event of the evening.

Tony (emphatic tone): The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and it is for the APW Overdrive Championship!

The lights go black in the arena; as the opening monologue of “Blood Sugar” by Pendulum starts, the music drops, and multiple white illumination pyrotechnic strobes fire off to the first measure of beats. The second monolog starts as a lone spotlight shines down on VIN who starts breaking several glow sticks attached to strings and securing them around his neck, wrists, and ankles. Upon the second beat drop the light goes out and you see VIN “rave” his way down the ramp toward the ring. Multi colored swirls make there way to the ring.

Tony (emphatic tone): Hailing from Brooklyn, New York…weighing in at 175 pounds….he is “The Submission Technician”….THIS is VIN E. LAMBAAAAARDOOOO!

Lambardo climbs to the top turnbuckle and the glow sticks create an open five-point position, holds it for a second and does a crucifix summersault with a 900 corkscrew, and lands in a break dance split as the lights turn back on, the music cuts and the ring posts explode with blue pyrotechnics.

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 rises from the center of the flames, lifting his head and flipping his hood off to reveal himself to the crowd.

Tony (emphatic tone): Weighing in at 225 pounds and hailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida…he is the current reigning and defending APW Overdrive Champion….THIS is “THE WHITE LION” MICHAEL LIVELYYY!

Lively charges to the ring….and Vin E. Lambardo suddenly comes flying from the second ring rope to the arena floor toward the charging Lively with an Asai Moonsault! Lively dodges the Asai Moonsault….Lambardo lands on his feet….and Lively pops Lambardo with the Pele’ out of nowhere! Lambardo looks dazed and confused as he stumbles backward!

Chase (into the match): The Pele’!

Harvey (into the match): Vin E. got popped hard! He shoulda waited for Lively to get in the ring – instead of getting his bell RUNG!

Chase (ready for the match): This match hasn’t even started yet and we’re already seeing how crazy it’s gonna be!

Lively, seeing his opponent dizzy, charges in for a Clothesline – and Lambardo makes Lively pay with a Standing Dropkick out of nowhere! Lively catches Lambardo’s feet to the jaw and hits the arena floor with a thud!

Harvey (cringing): Nasty dropkick to the face! Lively is down!

Chase (into the contest): Lambardo getting a little payback with some aerial footwork of his own!

Lambardo, angered, pulls Lively off the arena floor and Irish Whips Lively back first into the unforgiving steel of the nearest set of ring steps! Lively writhes in pain, the steps keeping him in an upright seated position….and Lambardo takes the opportunity to run in and use the lowest ring step to elevate and smack Lively with a Shining Wizard, forcing the back of Lively’s head to collide with the steps! The audience erupts with a “Holy Shit!” chant as Lively’s eyes roll into the back of his head! Lambardo throws his unconscious opponent into the ring.


Chase (shocked): Jeezus! Lambardo just tried to de-brain “The White Lion”!

Harvey (cringing): Something tells me Vin E. plans to make up for his lost at Test for the Best with some championship gold – at the expense of Michael Lively’s health!

Lively’s battered form is rolled into the ring – and Lambardo quickly pounces on top of him for the pin! The ref calls for the bell for the match to start - -

Overdrive Championship Match
Michael Lively vs. Vin E. Lambardo

- - Then the ref drops down to count the pinfall!

THRE - - NO! Lively gets his shoulder up at the last possible second! Lambardo is heated!

Harvey (into the bout): MMA Elbows?!?! Now THAT is how you put someone to sleep – at least I thought it was! Lively just proved Lambardo’s theory wrong by miraculously kicking out!

Lambardo, growing increasingly angry, once again goes from pinfall to right side mount - - but Lively somehow Matrixes his way out of the side mount! Lambardo quickly hops to his feet – and Lively takes Lambardo over with a nice Hurricanrana! The Lively Hurricanrana sends Vin E. through the top and middle ropes and to the Kemper Arena floor! Lambardo groggily gets back to his feet on the outside….and Lively levels the groggy Lambardo with a top-rope Springboard Cross Body Block to the outside! Lambardo is down – and Lively is on fire as he look as intense as ever!

Chase (into the match): Did you see the elevation on that Flying Cross Body?!?! Michael Lively with the high-risk offense!

Ready to battle once again (but favoring the left side and back of his head) Lively hops up onto the ring apron, waiting for Vin E. to get up. Lambardo gets to his feet…Lively charges down the ring apron toward his foe….Lively pounces off the ring apron with a Hurricanrana – but Lambardo catches Lively in mid-Hurricanrana and drills him into the nearest gurad rail head first! The back of Lively’s head becomes reacquainted with cold metal as his body hits the floor in a heap! The crowd has no choice but to once again grace us with a “Holy Shit!” chant, this time coupled with a “Michael’s dead!” chant to boot!

Harvey (wincing from the last move): OUCH!! Lambardo is on a mission to crack “The White Lion’s” head against every hard object he finds until his brain pours out! Lively’s in need of 911!

Lambardo tosses Lively’s limp body back into the ring and leans over Lively for the pin - - the pin that Lively somehow counters into a Small Package! LIVELY for the pin!

Harvey (into the bout): Both men are down! Could we be seeing a double count-out?

Lively strains against the advances of Lambardo’s Cross Armbar as Vin E. continues to tighten the hold! Lively, his mind at work, begins reaching out with his left leg for the bottom rope. Lively’s getting closer…..closer….closer…..closer…almost there….and Lambardo stops Lively by turning the Cross Armbar into a Triangle Choke! Lively’s neck and right arm are now trapped as Lambardo rolls to his back, tightening the Triangle Choke and forcing Lively to stand upright!

THRE - - Lively suddenly breaks his own pin by locking Lambardo’s left arm in a Kimura Lock! Lively grabs a top mount with his back facing Lambardo, using his newfound leverage to torque Lambardo’s left arm way past its normal bending radius! Vin E. screams in anguish as Lively shows his technical prowess!

Harvey (into the battle): “The White Lion” taking a page out of Lambardo’s book with that one! He’s got great positioning right now! Lambardo looks to be unable to counter!

Lively forces Vin E.’s left arm further behind his body, tightening the Kimura Lock! Vin E., in agony but his mind working like a machine, begins nailing Lively with alternating Knee Strikes from the bottom. Each Lambardo Knee Strike connects with Lively’s right side, prompting Lively to try and switch back to side mount….and prompting Lambardo to sweep! Lambardo is suddenly in full mount on top of Lively! Lambardo goes for a right jab - - but Lively grabs Vin E’s right arm in mid-punch, rolling both men forward and giving Lively the full mount control! Lambardo, being the expert that he is, quickly changes things over to a rubber guard. Lively is inside of Lambardo’s rubber guard….Lively throws a downward-arching left hook at Lambardo - - and Vin E. counters the punch by grabbing Lively’s leftt arm in mid-punch and locking Lively in a Gogoplata! Lively’s eyes grow to the size of quarters as Lambardo suddenly has him in a Gogoplata with nowhere to go!!

Harvey (impressed): Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a wrestling ring?!?! I don’t think Lively’s ever been caught in something like this!

Chase (agreeing): The Gogoplata is applied and Lively is in a tremendous amount of trouble! Lambardo has that right shin of his pressing against Lively’s trachea and he’s liable to pass out in mere seconds!

Harvey (impressed): The gogoplata is a legitimately dangerous hold, folks - - not like the STFU from that John - -

Chase (interrupting Harvey): Stop right there! We can’t mention their names on our program, jackass!

Lively, his eyes as round as saucers, flails helplessly as his throat is forced into Lambardo’s shin with authority! Vin E. has the Gogoplata locked in expertly, forcing Lively to his knees in debilitation! Lively’s fading, his eyes rolling back in his head…at least until he gets a burst of energy out of the blue, overlapping Lambardo’s left leg with his right arm! Yanking with all his might, Lively pulls his left arm out of Lambardo’s submission and cinches Vin E.’s triangled legs by threading his right arm through Lambardo’s legs and clasping his hands tightly! Lively lifts upward and suddenly reverses the Lambardo Gogoplata into a Cloverleaf hold! Lambardo is suddenly on his stomach, his back and legs getting stretched agonizingly as Lively pulls back on his Cloverleaf! Lambardo makes a desperate reach for the nearest bottom rope - - and Lively forcefully pulls the duo away, sitting down further away from the ropes and applying more pressure to the Cloverleaf!

Chase (shocked): My god! What an incredible counter! Lively adapted and pulled out an impeccable reversal!

Michael Lively stands slightly to assert his weight and fix his position in the Cloverleaf…..and Lambardo takes the chance to squirm to the nearest bottom rope! The ref makes Lively break the hold. Lively quickly grabs Lambardo’s ankles, pulling him to the center of the mat…..and Lambardo thanks Lively with a nasty right-legged Up Kick! Lively’s head snaps back, making him fall to one knee – his right knee. Lambardo sees his opening…Lambardo sprints toward Lively, walking up his left knee and going for a Shining Wizard - - a Shining Wizard that Lively dodges, grabbing Vin E. between the legs and rolling him up with a School Boy! Lively for the pin!

KICKOUT! Lively and Lambardo both kip up at the same time - - and both connect with Roundhouse Kicks to the head at the same time! Lambardo’s left leg collides with Lively’s right temple! Lively’s left leg collides with Lambardo’s right temple! Both men look out on their feet after the exchange but are somehow still standing! Michael and Vin E. both look like they’re on spaghetti legs…but Lambardo recovers a little quicker than Lively, jumping as high as he can and connecting with a Muy Thai Knee Strike to Lively’s jaw! Lively stumbles from the blow…but the blow seems to have lit his fire as he screams out in primal rage before jumping as high as he can and smacking the back of Lambardo’s cranium with an Enziguiri! Lambardo stumbles forward from the blow….and takes the opportunity to shoot on Lively, going for a Double Leg Takedown – a Double Leg Takedown that Lively hops over, coming down with both feet to the back of Lambardo’s head with a Double Foot Stomp! Vin E. kisses the canvas - - and Lively goes for the pin, falling across Lambardo from Vin E.’s left side in exhaustion!

THRE - - Vin E. breaks the pin by catching Lively in a Guillotine Choke! Lively’s head is trapped under Lambardo’s right arm as Lambardo quickly wraps his legs around Lively’s midsection to increase the power of the hold! Lively struggles against the Guillotine, summoning all his strength to stand up with Lambardo latched onto his head like a piranha! Lively breaks Lambardo’s body triangle, leaving Lambardo standing – but not breaking the Guillotine Choke! Lambardo has a standing Guillotine Choke applied - - a Choke he suddenly transitions into an Inverted Crucible before planting Lively’s face into the canvas with the Molly Wop (Inverted Crucible into a Pedigree)! Lively and the mat go steady as his lips kiss canvas! Lambardo rolls Lively to his back and exhaustedly covers him for the pin!

THRE - - Lambardo gets the shoulder up! Lively is livid – but something clicks in his head and he quickly makes his way to the nearest corner! Scaling the corner, Lively gets to the top turnbuckle and steadies himself!

Chase (into the contest): Lively’s looking to end it with the Prelude!

Lively IS looking to end it with The Prelude (Gainer from the top rope into a leg drop) - - but Lambardo ain’t having it as he charges up the rope and meets Lively on the top rope! Lambardo, balancing himself between the two corner top ropes, hits Lively with a nice Straight Right to the point of the jaw! Lively is wobbly….Lively leans forward…and Lambardo takes the chance to grab Lively in a quick Inverted Crucible and sail from the corner with a version of his patented Paint Mixer maneuver (Inverted Crucible followed into the Code Breaker)! Lively’s jaw bounces off of Lambardo’s knees as both men crash to the mat, Lambardo knocking the wind out of himself on impact! Both men lay battered and bruised on the canvas as the crowd explodes with a “Holy Shit!” chant!

Chase (wowed): Jeezuz – Lambardo just tried to take out the Jesus! AVALANCHE PAINT MIXER!

Harvey (impressed): Both men HAVE To be close to the breaking point after that!

Tony (emphatic tone): Three minutes! Three minutes remaining!

Lambardo and Lively both hear the announcer’s time warning and both men rise to their feet damn near simultaneously, Lambardo holding his neck and midsection and Lively holding his head and neck. Both men lock eyes….and both men suddenly explode on one another in a frenzy of offense! Right High Kick from Lambardo to Lively’s head! Left Spin Kick from Lively to Lambardo’s jaw! European Uppercut from Lambardo to Lively’s jaw! Lively spins around from the force of the Lambardo European Uppercut - - and suddenly nails Lambardo with a Pele’ Kick! Lambardo catches the kick to the top of his head, stumbling backwards….but Lambardo recovers super-quick, charging the recovering and kneeling Lively and delivering a Shining Wizard to Lively’s jaw! Lively falls back from the Shining Wizard….but he suddenly kips up and catches the partially standing Lambardo with a Snap Hurricanrana! Lambardo is taken over with the Hurricanrana but rolls through and springs off the nearest middle rope with a Lionsault and snapping Lively’s neck back with the K Hole (Lionsault into a 720 Stunner)! Lively goes down like a sack of doorknobs as a tired Lambardo scrambles and covers Lively for the pin!

THREE? NO! Lively gets his right shoulder up, his right arm shooting outward - - and Lambardo immediately takes his opponent’s right arm, rolling Lively to his stomach and locking in a Crossface! Lively is in severe pain, his head and neck having taken a beating in the match thus far, but he refuses to tap as Lambardo yanks back as far as he can on Lively’s head! The ref checks on Lively to see if he submits….but Lively refuses, prompting Lambardo to try and transition into the Rings of Saturn – but Lively allows Lambardo to take both of his arms before rolling forward, trapping Lambardo under his weight and pinning Lambardo’s shoulders to the mat for an impromptu pin!

KICKOUT! Lambardo angrily kips up from the pin attempt….and right into a Lion’s Bite (Flip Piledriver) from Lively! Lambardo ends up standing upright once again as his neck and spine are compressed, forcing him to bounce off the mat! Lively sees this and suddenly nails the groggy Lambardo with ANOTHER Lion’s Bite! Lambardo’s conscious state is on vacation as a weak and brusied Lively scrambles for the pin!

Winner and STILL Overdrive Champion: Michael Lively

Chase (wowed): Unbelievable! That match will go down in history as arguably the most intense Overdrive Championship match EVER!

Harvey (impressed): We almost had a new Overdrive Champ several times tonight – but Michael Lively once again raised his game to the next level and pulled out a vicious win!!

The referee gets the Overdrive Championship and helps an exhausted and battered Lively to his feet to raise his hand in victory! The fans erupt with a standing ovation for both men! Lively can’t believe he finally slayed Lambardo he holds the belt high in triumph! Lively leaves the ring happy about his victory as Lambardo finally comes to! Lambardo finds out from the ref that he just lost the match - - but the fans give the frustrated “Submission Technican” a standing ovation nonetheless! Lambardo acknowledges the fans before angrily exiting the ring holding his neck.

Chase: That all for…

Harvey: Wait a second, we have camera’s backstage following some action


We see President Jeff still being chased by Kenny Lambardo. They run past Gorilla postion and Jeff runs out onto the ramp and Kenny is close behind. Jeff slides into the ring and gets to his feet. Kenny slides in behind him and Jeff is quick to start attacking Kenny.

Chase: Kenny has been wanting to get his hands on Jeff all night.

Harvey: If Kenny can fight back, Jeff is going to be in a load of trouble.

Kenny keeps trying to get up and Jeff keeps him down with kicks and punches. Kenny then somehow tackles Jeff to the mat and starts laying in punches and the fans are loving every second of it. Jeff covers his head as Kenny keeps with the punches. Kenny pulls Jeff up and throws him into the ropes. Jeff comes back and Kenny goes to pick Jeff up, but Jeff lands behind Kenny. Kenny goes for the Ego Crusher, but Jeff counters by pushing Kenny into the ropes. Jeff pulls something from his pocket and as Kenny comes back, Jeff throws some sort of white powder into the eyes of Kenny. Kenny holds his eyes and then WHAM! Kenny gets laid out with a Super Kick from the Boss.

Chase: What did he throw in Kenny’s eyes?

Harvey: What ever it was, it allowed Jeff to knock Kenny out.

Jeff yells for a microphone. Jeff stands over Kenny’s body and looks down at him as he speaks.

Jeff: Kenny. I didn’t want to do this to you. I didn’t want it to come down to this. And you can blame your wife for it all. You want to know what I turned on you. Well if you would have quit bugging me about the secret, and just listen to me when I told you that everything is taken care of and that you didn’t need to worry about anything. But did you listen to me. No. So Kenny, you want to know the secret, well here it is. You know Little Kenny, My Nephew, well, funny thing. He’s not my Nephew. And the Kid’s mother, well, Its none other than your Wife’s, Diana’s.

Chase: What, Little Kenny is Diana’s son?

Harvey: Why didn’t Diana Tell Kenny?

Jeff: Hold on a second, it gets better. Little Kenny’s father. I shouldn’t be the one to tell you Kenny, but its














YOU!

Chase: WHAT?

Harvey: Diana has a 3 year old son with Kenny that Kenny didn’t even know about and their married?

Chase: How did Diana Keep that a secret for three years?

Harvey: And why was Jeff stuck in the middle of all this?

Jeff: Sorry Kenny, just thought you’d like to know.

Jeff drops the microphone and exits the ring, leaving Kenny lying still as Overdrive goes off the air with everyone in shock over the secret.
