Overdrive - Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (08/04/08)

[President Jeff]

Action Packed Wrestling Overdrive opens with a montage of the action that took place at APW’s Apocalypse pay-per-view in Las Vegas, Nevada. As Slipknot’s “Psychosocial” plays in the background our montage segues from Steve Hawkens hitting the Crucifix Driver on Ace Youngblood to John Green returning and sending Dr. Matt into retreat mode. From there the montage shows a smattering of the violence that unfolded in the APW Tag Team Championship Table Match between THK & Royce and Sabur & Blackwell, with the footage from that battle ending with THK hitting the Straight to Hell through a glass table on Blackwell for the victory! The video package then quickly segues to the anarchy that was the APW Xtreme Championship match between Twister and “The Ace” Austin Daniels, ending with Twister hitting Austin Daniels with the Wind Breaker on a steel chair to become the NEW APW Xtreme Champion! Our footage quickly transitions to shots of the Grudge Match between Overdrive GM Matt Metal and Dr. Phate, the footage of the brutal match ending with Phate nailing Running Soccer Kick to Metal's face for the hard-fought win! The video then segues to footage of the APW Overdrive Title match pitting Michael Livelty against Nikolai Molotov, ending with Lively reversing the Communist Crash and hitting the Lion’s Bite to retain the title! From there the video package transitions into the insane APW World Championship “I Quit” match between APW President Hurricane Jeff and Kenny Lambardo, Lambardo garnering the victory with an STF! Footage is shown of Kenny celebrating his win and Jeff interrupting that celebration by telling Kenny he promised to make sure Lambardo would NOT leave Vegas with the APW World Title - - and calling out Dr. Phate to get his guaranteed title shot! Footage is shown of the impromptu Title Match between Kenny and Phate, Jeff aiding Phate in defeating Kenny and Phate becoming the NEW APW World Champion! The viedo ends with Phate and Jeff standing in the ring as litter floods the squared circle!



As our video ends we are met with a shot of the MTS Centre, in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada….the parking lot of the MTS Centre to be exact. Just when we’re beginning to wonder why APW cameras are in the parking lot we are blinded by the halogen headlights of a rather extravagant Bentley limousine as it purrs to a regal halt near the loading bay of the building. A stocky chauffeur hops out of the driver’s side and leaps into action, coming around to the passenger side and extending his gloved hand to grip the rear passenger door’s silver handle. Opening the door the chiseled chauffeur extends one of his ivory-gloved hands to help out the vehicle’s passenger – the NEW Action Packed Wrestling Champion “The Icon” Doctor Phate! The audience boos emphatically as the cocky and shady titleholder pats the APW World Heavyweight Title draped over his right shoulder, its polished surface shimmering in the moonlight. Dressed in his usual attire of black oversized dress shirt, red silk necktie, black pleated uniform skirt, black and white Converse Chuck Taylor canvas sneakers, and white knee-high athletic socks Phate takes the time to adjust his tie and signature black horn-rimmed glasses. Smiling, Phate reaches back into the back seat of the limousine to retrieve something…and that something is the mysterious hooded woman that he’s been palling around with for the past few weeks! Helping her out of the limousine Phate waits for the hooded woman, dressed exactly like Phate except for her ever-present oversized hooded sweatshirt, to seductively kiss him on the cheek before winking at her and giving her a quick pat on the rear end! We are unable to see the woman’s reaction due to the hood of her oversized sweatshirt shielding her face from our view but she lets out a playful shriek and giggle before taking Phate’s right arm and cuddling into his stocky upper body. The dastardly duo begin making their way toward the arena – until they are cut off by APW President Hurricane Jeff, that is! Grinning from ear to ear Jeff happily shakes Phate’s hand, sending the audience into an even louder chorus of boos! Jeff takes a moment to kiss the hand of Phate’s female partner-in-crime before he addresses Phate verbally.

Jeff (happy tone; addressing Phate): The Champ is here! How does it feel holding the 10 pounds of gold…Champ?

Phate (amused tone; addressing Jeff while pulling his female associate in closer): It feels like havin’ a party in yer mouth an’ no one’s invited, Prez!

Jeff (a tad confused; addressing Phate): Not too sure what that feels like but…yeah. Anyway we’ve got everything for your Championship celebration later tonight unpacked and ready to go! We’ve even made sure that security ISN’T going to be at ringside for the affair like you requested. But, with that said, there is one problem that arises.

Phate (smiling smugly; addressing Jeff): Lemme guess…Kenny Lambardo?

Jeff (addressing Phate; agreeing): Yeah. He hasn't gotten to the MTS Centre yet but - -

Phate (smug expression; wrapping his right arm around his female friend’s waist; addressing Jeff): He is EXACTLY why I requested fer security to be BARRED from ringside, Prez.

Jeff (a bit confused; addressing Phate): I….don’t quite understand what you’re getting at.

Phate (addressing Jeff; amused tone): I’ve got it all under control. No worries, Prezzy baby!

Jeff (addressing Phate; tentative tone of voice): No worries?

Phate (addressing Jeff; amused tone): No worries. I’m on it. (Patting Jeff on the shoulder) Calm down, Prez! Yer gonna give yerself an ulcer, baby! I’ve got quite th’ evening planned out for us an' I GUARANTEE it'll be magical!

Jeff (addressing Phate; calm tone): Will you at least fill me in on the plan then?

Phate (amused tone; addressing Jeff): Tsk, tsk tsk! A magician NEVER reveals their secrets! Jus’ believe that Kenny Lambardo will NOT be a problem tonight. Oh, and jus’ believe me when I say….

Phate suddenly turns his female friend away from the camera and toward APW President Hurricane Jeff before giving Jeff a peek under the hood! Jeff’s jaw damn near drops to the floor as he gets a peek under the hood! We the viewer are unable to see the woman’s face but Jeff’s expression lets us know it’s not what we expect!

Phate (amused tone; pulling female companion’s hood back down to hide her face once again; addressing Jeff; grinning): ….We won’t exactly be needin’ security tonight either. See you at th’ celebration, Jeffy! It’ll be a night to remember!

Jeff (shocked and confused; addressing Phate): But how - - ? I went to her fu - -! What in the fu - - ? How is she - - ?

Before the shocked and befuddled Jeff can form a proper sentence Phate and his female partner-in-crime walk away and out of camera range as the opening video for APW Overdrive kicks things into high gear!

Pyro shoots through out the arena and then we go to ringside.

Darren Harvey: Welcome Everyone to Monday Night Overdrive. We are sold out here in the MTS Center in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.

Chase: That's right Darren. But before we run down the card, what a night Apocalypse was. A night full of surprises. The Hardcore Kid and Jason Royce retained their tag team titles. Winnipegs own Twister became the new Xtreme Champion and after Kenny LAmbardo defeated PResident Jeff in an I Quit Match, Jeff then and there made Kenny defend his title against Dr. Phate and Phate is the new APW World Champion.

Harvey: Full of surprises and Excitment, exactly what APW is all about. But speaking of Doctor Phate, who is that mysterious women with him?

Chase: Who ever it is, is sure as hell surprised Jeff.

Harvey: Lets hope we find out tonight who she is.

Chase: And a big show we have tonight. The match everyone here in Winnipeg came to see. Twister, the home town boy, defending his Xtreme Title against another home town boy, Jason Royce.

Harvey: Lets go to the ring for our opening match up.

Suddenly, the opening riffs of ‘Nobody’ by Skindred blasts over the PA and the crowd breaks into a cacophony of boos.

Tony: The following match is scheduled for one fall. First introducing, from Carson City Nevada, weighing in at one hundred and eighty nine pounds, ‘Dangerous’ Steve Hawkins!

Tony bursts out from behind the curtains and sprints towards the ring, jumping onto the apron and then the middle rope as he taunts the fans. After a moment of this, he climbs into the ring and screams at the fans.

‘Release yo Delf’ by Method Man cuts in as ‘Nobody’ comes to an end and the fans give the due they give to all who can’t quite make their damn minds up, the mixed reaction. Oh the humanity! Streets Wilson steps out from behind the curtains, twirling a switchblade in each hand.

Tony: And his opponent, hailing form Stanford Connecticut and weighing in at two hundred and sixty seven pounds, Streets Wilson!

Wilson heads towards the ring, still twirling those blades and he climbs the steps. He climbs into the ring, removing his fedora as he did and slipping his blades into it before placing it in the corner.

Harvey: Both of these men are relatively new to the APW and a win here could springboard one of them above the rat race.

STREETS WILSON VS STEVE HAWKENS

Hawkins and Wilson circle the ring as they each look for a way in, an advantage of any kind. They lock up in ye olde shoulder-elbow tieup and each push against the other. Wilson uses his weight advantage to good effect and forces Hawkins into the corner. Hawkins hooks the bottom rope with his foot and the ref calls for a break, Wilson backs off and uses that to nail Hawkins with a blistering chop. He ignores the ref yelling at him and chops him again, then once more. He flips the referee off and launches Hawkins into the opposite corner with velocity! Hawkins bounces out and gets nailed flush in the jaw with a superkick.

Chase: Wham! Bam! Thank you ma’am!

Harvey: Someone needs to find some fresh material.

Hawkins makes it groggily to his feet and he receives a spinning back fist, catching him on the jaw once more, his situation is not helped any by a high impact Spinebuster. Relentless, Wilson drags him to his feet and Hooks him up, hoisting him into the air for a suplex, holding him in the air to let the blood well and truly rush to his head before dropping him in on his head in a way that would have Japanese commentators screaming down their mics. Hawkins has had his brains well and truly scrambled if not just a little busted as the move would imply and Wilson takes advantage of this hooking in a pin,

Hawkins rolls a shoulder. Wilson lets fly with two right hands as he drags Hawkins to his feet and attempts another suplex, but some sort of survival instinct kicks in and Hawkins manages to slip out the other side. Wilson tries for another spinning backfist but Hawkins ducks under it and nails a scintillating dropsault. He hits him with another as Wilson makes it to his feet and hits the ropes, marmalising a staggered Wilson with a running DDT. Wilson hits the mat hard and bounces back as Hawkins again hits the ropes to drop a leg across his throat.

Firmly in control now, Hawkins drags Wilson to his feet and nails him with a snap suplex. He rolls through and nails him with a second, not done he drags him up for aq third and rolls over into a pin,

No! Hawkins does not let up, however, stomping on Wilson and hitting the ropes to come back with a handspring body press. He takes a moment to stand and taunt the fans booing predictably at his beck and call. He springs up to the top rope and flies backwards into a moonsault. Being as the whole hit a suplex three times idea worked so well, it seems that he has decided to try it again with the moonsaults and he hits a second flush on the mark. He springs up the corner a third time and flies backwards, meeting only a pair of knees.

Harvey: Wilson possibly saved himself the match there, that moonsault might well have been all she wrote.

Hawkins rolls backwards and Wilson is still lying on the mat, so the referee attempts to show the crowd that he can count to ten. Predictably enough, the crowd seems to get the idea that the ref needs help and we break into an impromptu game of count along with Elmo. Both men, meanwhile, drag themselves to the ropes on opposite sides of the ring and use the top ropes on their individual sides to pull themselves to their feet before the ref can show that he does indeed know numbers with more than one digit.

The two men charge at each other like runaway trains and Wilson ducks under a running palm thrust, he turns and locks in a suplex setup, taking his foe down with a head and arm suplex. Wilson hits Hawkins with a spinning backfist, then another, and suddenly unleashes the Fury of the Streets! Hawkins reels from a couple of vicious blows to the body and falls to the mat after a devastating knife edge chop to the throat. Hawkins twitches on the mat holding his throat but that is soon the least of his problems as Wilson locks in a cross arm breaker. Wilson reefs back on the hold, causing his opponent to scream in agony and come very close to tapping out. However, Hawkins twists his body from side to side, looking for relief in the form of the ropes and finally manages to land his foot across a set of them.

Wilson drags Hawkins to his feet and sends him into the ropes, but this gives the quicker man space and he rolls under a clothesline, hits a palm strike and then hits the ropes once more, dropping Wilson with his second running DDT of the night. He straddles Wilson and nails him with an unrelenting flurry of lefts and rights.

This may be a mistake, however, as he has been drawn into Wilson’s game. Wilson manages to reach through the fists, grab the back of Hawkins’ head and nails him with a vicious desperation head butt. Hawkins is staggered and defenceless against a second head butt before Wilson drags him to his feet, locking in the front headlock. He takes a moment to look to the crowd and drops Hawkins with a Vicious DDT! He goes for the cover,

Winner: Streets Wilson

Chase: Big debut win here for Streets.

Harvey: Good effort by Hawkens tonight.

APW cameras take us outside to the loading area where a polished black Hummer with silver trim grinds to an industrial halt. It’s driver’s side door pops open….and out jumps the former APW World Champion Sergeant Kenny Lambardo! The audience immediately erupts into cheers and “Hail Kaos” chants as Lambardo looks on ready for war! Lambardo, wearing a “Hail Kaos” Grunge Tee and black jeans, looks extremely intense and ready to do bodily harm as he makes his way toward the MTS Center entrance. Right before he gets in the building APW Interviewer Phil stops him dead in his tracks with microphone in hand and cameraman in tow!

Phil (addressing Lambardo; quizzical tone): Kenny Lambardo! After the insanity that occurred at APW Apocalypse last Sunday what is going through your mind tonight?

Lambardo (annoyed tone; addressing Phil): What do you THINK is going through my mind? Huh? I defied all the odds and gained custody of my precious son Kenny - - just to get screwed out of MY APW World Title seconds later! What do YOU think is going through my mind?

Phil (addressing Lambardo; slightly quizzical): Revenge?

Lambardo (angered tone; addressing Phil): Revenge? Revenge doesn’t even BEGIN to describe what’s going through my mind tonight! (Addressing the camera, Jeff, and Phate; hostile tone) Jeff! I’ve got my son at home with family and I made sure that APW Overdrive would not be playing tonight - - because what I plan to do to his “Uncle” is NOT for the eyes of children! Phate! Same goes for you! You don’t want to face me like a man? You wanna go and team with Jeff to take the belt from me without facing me like a man? Well tonight I screw YOU like the school girl that you are! Tonight I’m coming for you BOTH! NOTHING will stop me from getting to you! And by the end of this night blood WILL be shed – and not even Kaos will save your souls!


Chase (addressing Harvey): Kenny Lambardo has arrived and he looks out for a little payback!

Harvey (addressing Chase): Phate should’ve kept those security guards! The tension in this building just got cranked up 10 notches!

Lambardo angrily walks away as Phil looks on and APW Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back with Tony Ferrari in the ring.

Tony: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

The lights in the arena dim as the hyme of "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 oposite 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 cufflings on his white silk suit.

Tony: Making his way to the ring first, Nikolai Molotov

Continuing his decent 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 forfinger 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 hyme fades away and Nikolai awaits his opponent.

Tony: And his opponent

“Iron man” by Black Sabbath hits and the Hardcore Kid walks out through the curtain.

Tony: From Las Vegas Nevada, he is one half of the Tag Team Champions. The Hardcore Kid!

The Kid runs down to the ring and slides in.

THE HARDCORE KID VS NIKOLAI MOLOTOV


The two meet in the middle of the ring face to face. The Kid runs off the ropes and goes for a shoulder block, but the Kid goes down hard. The Kid gets back up and runs off the ropes again, and again goes for a Shoulder block, only to go down.

Chase: The Kid needs a new games plan.

The Kid gets up and runs off the ropes again, this time, Nikolai goes for a clothesline, but the Kid ducks. The Kid comes back and Nikolai picks the Kid up for a sidewalk slam, but The Kid counts it into a head scissor take down. The kid quickly gets onto of Nikolai for the cover.

Nikolai powers out. Nikolai gets up and runs at the Kid who gives Nikolai an arm drag, followed by another. Nikolai gets up and is met with a dropkick to the chest that sends him to the ropes. The Kid runs at Nikolai and Nikolai backdrops the Hardcore Kid over the top rope and The Kid lands right on his back on the outside.

Harvey: I heard that Thud loud and clear from over here.

Nikolai goes to the outside and picks the Kid up and lifts him off the ground and drops him chest first onto the guard rail. Nikolai picks the Kid up and rolls him into the ring. Nikolai quickly gets in and covers the kid.

The Kid gets in a few kicks to Nikolai’s ribs and then does a spinning kick to the face. The Kid goes for the Straight To Hell but can’t pick Nikolai up off the ground. Nikolai knee’s The Kid and then hooks the Kid’s arms and drills him with a double arm DDT and then covers him.

Harvey: The kid is in trouble now!

Nikolai gets up and signals for the end. He picks the Kid up and puts his head between his legs for the Communist Crash (Flipping Piledriver) but before he can do the move, the Titantron gets all funny




Nikolai attention turns to the titantron.

Chase: Are we having Technical Difficulties?

Harvey: I don’t know!

Suddenly the number 7 in blood starts flashing on the titantron

Chase: Who is this and what do all these numbers mean that we been seeing

A show figure appears on the Titantron with the flashing number. Then out of no where, Nikolai gets taken down when the Kid pulled bother Nikolai’s legs. With still the legs in hand, the kid flips over, pinning Nikolai.

Winner: The Hardcore Kid

The Hardcore Kid quickly slides out of the ring to celebrate his victory, leaving an angry Nikolai in the ring.

Chase: Who ever that was, distracted Nikolai long enough for the Kid to pick up the victory.

Harvey: Who ever that mystery numbers guy is, we know his first victim.

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air and we're backstage where The Hardcore Kid is celebrating his win with Jason Royce.

Jason: You did it man.

THK: And tonight your going to beat Twister.

Jason: I'm going to do my best, but win or lose, I'm still leaving with one title.

THK: You still feeling ok after that Table's match last Sunday?

Jason: I'm still a little sore, but Ok to wrestle.

Just then two unknown people show up.

Jason: Who the hell are you guys.

Guy #1: We are APW's newest tag team. We're called The Bourne Paralyzer’s. I'm Tommy Devine and this is my partner, Christian Bourne.

THK: Let me be the first to day, Welcome to Action Packed Wrestling.

Christian: And Let me be the first to say that we will be APW Tag Team Champions real soon.

Jason: You think so?

Tommy: We know so.

Christian: And since you guys are suppose to be so good, how about next week on Overdrive, we make our debut match against you guys in a non title match. I mean, wouldn't be fair to take the titles in our first match here.

THK: If you think your taking these titles from us, then you guys have another thing coming. So your on!

Tommy: See you next week.

The The Bourne Paralyzer’s walk away as we cut to Sabur and Tony Blackwell walking up to Overdrive General Manager Matt Metal

Tony: Metal, we need to talk.

Sabur: Right now!

Metal: What's up guys?

Tony: We don't have the tag titles, that's what up.

Metal: A hell of a match that Tables match was.

Sabur: That's the problem Metal. It was a tables match. The last time I checked, Real tables are made out of wood and not Glass.

Tony: So as far as I'm concirned, we never lost the match and we deserve a rematch for those tag titles.

Metal: You guys bring up an interesting point.

Sabur: So are you going to give us a rematch?

Metal thinks for a second.

Metal: You want a rematch, then you got a rematch, at Shockwave!

Tony: I knew you we're good for somethin!

The camera fades back to ringside.

Havey: The first match for Shockwave announced. The Tag champs, The Hardcore Kid and Jason Royce will take on Sabur and Tony Blackwell.

Chase: Can Hardcore Ice beat Sabur and Tony twice in a row?

Harvey: And the Tag champs will have their hands full next week as well as they face off against APW's newest Tag Team, The Bourne Paralyzer’s.

Chase: Its going to be exciting to see this new team in action.

Harvey: Its time for our next match


Tony Ferrari: First hailing from Atlanta Georgia, and standing in....

Just then AFI begins to play across the pa system, and the lights in the arena dim out, the entrance stage is illuminated by soft blue lighting.

Chase: Who the hells music is this...

Harvey: I'm not sure, I thought John Green was coming out.

Chase: Yeah the schedule has Green/Lively next

Then what appears to be snow, falls through out the arena, as the music continues. Them blue laser lights start beaming around the stage area, then focus in on the ramp way, and there is the shadow figure of a hooded man with his head downward, and hands down crossed in front of him. He then lifts his head, and flips the hood back, as he reviles himself as Michael Lively. He strikes the I am JESUS pose and a shower of blue sparks ignite behind him floating in the air. He smirks at the crowd then taps the title belt on his waist and begins to walk to the ring, much to the booing of the fans.

Chase: I know the title isn't on the line, but the champion usually comes out last.

Harvey: Hey...he walks his own path, who can argue with a man that thinks he is JESUS.

Chase: Right...

Tony Ferrari then holds the mic up as Lively enters the ring, Michael looks at him and tells him no intro, Ferarri looks at the Lion and shakes his head, stands back for the rest of the entrance. Lively then goes to the center of the ropes in between the ring posts climbs the second rope leaning against the top rope holding his title in the air as the snow flakes fall upon his greatness, with the smug look on his face like the world owes him ever thing. After the music silences Ferrari then holds the mic up, and begins to do his job and introduces.

Tony Ferrari: Alright his opponent Hailing Atlanta, Georgia, standing six foot four inches, and weighing in at two hundred sixty five pounds

"Between Angels and Insects" by Papa Roach hits the P.A. system and the crowd gets on their feet.

Tony Ferrari: The first ever APW world champion, the former Xtreme Champion....the Retribution Killer...He is JOHN GREEN!!!!!

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. 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 looks across the ring a the White Lion who is still wearing the Overdrive Championship walks to the center of the ring, followed by Green.

Harvey: Looks like we are going to have a stare down.

Chase: No we're not look at this.

MICHAEL LIVELY VS JOHN GREEN


Lively extends a hand to John Green, Green looks out at the crowd in typical fashion wanting advise. The fans respond with No's and boo's. Green a little uneasy on what to do. Lively furiously steps back walks over asks for a mic, he lifts it up to speak.

Lively: SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Stepping forward to John Green.

Lively: Now you shake my Damn hand.

Lively slams down the mic, as Green extends his hand toward the Lion. Lively grabs Greens hand and they shake hands, both men starring at the other, then with each mans free hand they both swing and connect. Each man staggers backward from the blow to the face.

Harvey: WOW...what a start.

Chase: Yeah they looked reluctant to shake at first

Harvey: For good reason...neither one of them can be trusted, they both tried the dirty punch.

Chase: And both suffered.

The ref walks to the center of the ring asking for the Overdrive championship to get the match under way. Lively shakes his head no like a little child being forced to eat brussel sprouts. Lively arguing with the ref, and keeping him at arms reach. The ref then decides he's not going to argue with Lively and calls for the bell.

Harvey: Lively is starting the match with the title around his waist.

Chase: He never ceases to amaze me.

The two lock up in the middle of the ring for a collar and elbow tie up, Lively is out power by Green and shoved to his back on the mat. The title belt comes unstrapped, and the ref runs over to get the title. Michael argues with the ref grabbing one side of the strap while the ref has the other. They begin to play tug of war with the Overdrive title.

Chase: This guy is attached to that belt.

Harvey: We know he has a Jesus complex, but who knew he needed a security blanket.

Green having enough of Lively's stall tatics, walks over. The Lion noticing his opponent drawing in, lets the title go sending the ref back wards out of the ring with the belt in hand, Lively quickly punts a feild goal style kick in between John Greens uprights.

Harvey:OOOOHHHHHH!!!!!

Chase: OUCHHH!!!! That was just plain wrong no matter how you slice it.

The crowd also explodes with shock, then quickly turn that into boo's for Lively. Being no stranger to the hate Lively smirks it off. The ref climbs back in the ring, seeing Green to his knees, then looking over at Lively who just shrugs his shoulders, then short kicks Green in the face, turns and preforms a standing moonsault landing on Green and hooking a leg for the pin.

Shoulder up by Green, Lively jumping to his feet, stomping Green twice in the ribs for good measure. Lively then climbs to the second rope, leaps out for a quick leg drop.

Chase: He missed

Harvey: He moved.

Green rolled out of the way, and made it to his feet fast. Michael stands only to be met by a John Green running high knee to the face. Spit flys out of the Lions mouth as his body drops to the mat. Green picking him up by the hair, scooping him and slamming him to the mat. Livelys back arches up in pain, as Green leaps in the air and dropping down with a fist drop right to the head of Lively. Green then mounts him, and begins a barrage of punches, Michael tries to defend himself, and scoots back hooking the rope as the ref breaks up the beating. Lively then exits the ring.

Harvey: Wow...trying to get a break already.

Chase: Not for long...here comes John Green right after him.

Lively takes off running around the ring followed by a pissed John Green, Lively then leaps up backfilling in the air and connecting with Green head with a Pele kick. Green buckles to the ground, and Lively rolls into the ring to break up the count and then back out of the ring. The Lion then grabs Green rolling him back into the ring. Lively slides in as Green makes it up to his feet. Lively scampers over fast with a running bulldog. Green's face smacks the mat, and Lively up strikes a I am JESUS pose for the crowd as they respond with boo's. Lively lifts Green up by the hair, placing his head between his legs. Michael then flips off the audience, then grabs the waist of John.

Chase: He's going for the Lions Bite.

Lively leaps for the flip

Harvey: No He's not.

Greens grabs the ankle's of Lively, then spins around real fast and whips him over for an Alabama Slama. Livelys head crashes the mat, then grabs his head rolling onto his stomach, trying to prevent a pin. Green jumps down locking Michael in an STF. Lively screams in pain, as Green has it sunk in. The ref asks Lively if he has had enough, Lively screams out no. Green pulls back on Livelys head trying to get him to tap, but no go. Green releases the hold, and stands wiping sweat from his forehead, then walks over giving a few stomps to the back of the Lions head. Lively rolls out of the way, Green rushes in to attack but is met by a stiff right hand to the mid section. Green gasps for air after the devastating shot, Lively then stands landing another right but this time in the face of Green, then spins around connecting the other side of Greens face with a solid spinning back elbow sending him to the mat. Lively falls backward to the ropes, taking a few breathes realizing him just bought him self a little time, then climbs out to the apron, leaps up spring boarding off the top rope for a Macho style elbow drop to Green. Lively then covers.

Lively frustrated feeling like he had the match won, stands arguing with the ref.

Chase: He had better watch his opponent.

Harvey: Yeah no the ref.

Lively turns back reaching down for Green getting rolled up in a small package pin.

Lively then stops punching Green, looks out at the crowd, spits in the front row, then flips two birds in the direction of the crowd as the offer up a "FUCK YOU JESUS" chant. Green then grabs Lively by the legs hoists him high and slams him to the mat with a huge power bomb. Lively slams to the mat, as Green staggers back into the corner. The crowd then changes the chant to FUCK EM UP GREEN, FUCK EM UP"..Green raises his hands to the crowd, then drops down an elbow drop on Livelys chest. Green then backs up to the corner once more climbs up, to the second rope, leaps out with a flying head but to the skull of the Lion. Green pulls up the battered Lion smashing his back with a couple of stiff shots, then offers a couple of punches to the face of Lively before whipping him into the opposite rope. Green then bends down, Lively quickly transitions, and back flips over Green hitting the opposite rope, Green turns around to be met by a jumping spinning flying knee to the face. Green falls back as Lively falls on top of him grabbing a leg for the pin.

Kick out by Green. Lively stands kicking at Green, then backs up waiting for him to rise. John stands, turns and is caught by Lively who picks him up, and drops him neck first across the top rope.

Harvey: Whoa an old school stun gun

Chase: Nice.

Green falls back grasping his neck, and trying to breath. Lively pleased with him self, grabs a hold of Green legs, and puts him in an inverted figure four leg lock. Green begins to writhe in pain, as Lively leans back reaching for the ropes to give added leverage. The ref looks up, and Lively lets the ropes go, then the ref looks back at the face of Green looking for a tap or submission, then looks up catching Lively holding the ropes again. The ref counts for Michael to break the hold. The Lion does, and gets to his feet as the ref scolds him. Green scoots out of the ring, to recover real quick. Lively sees Green outside, grabs the ropes then slingshots himself over the rope outside, with his foot catching the ref in the face knocking him down. Lively flying out onto Green who catches the Lion's cross body attempt, Green then runs toward the ring post, slamming the Lion back first into the steel post. Green backs up and rams him once again, then turns and throws Lively over in a fall away slam. The Lion hits the thin mat outside the ring, and lays there in pain just in front of the announce table. Green walks over, pulls the monitors off the table. Chase and Harvey notice, and stand up moving back from the possible destruction John Green has in mind. John grabs Lively by the hair, then rolls him onto the announce table. Green then climbs up, lifting Lively up and placing his head between the legs.

Chase: He's going for the Head Splitter on the table

Harvey: Lights out if this one is nailed.

Green hooks one arm then the other, and Lively then whips a leg over kicking John Green in the face, stopping Green from nailing the move. Green lets one arm loose as Lively frees himself. The Lion then kicks the leg of the former world champion, then punches him right in the face. Green the swings back nailing the Lion. The two continue to fight it out, then Green kicks Lively in the gut, bending him over, and the Retribution Killer grabs the body of the Lion hoisting him up for a power bomb. Lively uses the momentum to flip over landing on the table feet first. Green turns being met by a kick to his gut now. Lively grabs the head of Green and turns him around dropping down for a rude awakening neck breaker. Green hits the table and surprisingly it doesn't break. Lively rolls off the table, and walks over rolling into the ring. The Lion sees the ref beginning to stir and kicks him in the back of the head to keep him out. Then turns around grabs the ropes, spring boards, leaping out with a shooting star press out to the announce table, Green moves and the Lion crashes through the table.

Chase: Ohhhhh!

Harvey: A big opportunity here for Green.

Green grabs the Lion's unconscious body, then rolls him into the ring quickly following him in.He pulls up Lively and places him in position snatching up both arms, leaping up, and dropping down.

Chase: HEAD SPLITTER!!!

Harvey: NO REF!!!

Green walks over grabbing the ref by the belt and walking him over toward the down Lively, dropping him by the Lion. Green drops down hooking a leg for the pin. The ref groggily shakes him head, and Green smacks the mat by his head to get his attention. The ref sees the pin.

Kick out by the Lion.

Harvey: Had the ref been there for the count right away it would be over. Green looking at the ref like he could knock him silly again, then stands thinking of his next assault.

Chase: look Green is baffled...

Harvey: Yeah he must be thinking he is going to have to kill Lively to keep him down.

Green waits for the Lion to stir and he does as the ref regains control of his senses. Lively loose on his feet stands turns and gets drilled in the face with a big boot, then picked back up, sucked into a DDT, and dropped face first to the mat. Green rolls him over for another cover.

Chase: Holy crap....this guy won't stay down.

Green rises up, motioning for Lively to rise. As the Overdrive champion wobbles upright, Green hits the opposite rope, running at Michael with a clothesline, Lively ducks under, and John hits the other rope coming back to be met by a fast super kick to the mush. Green drops to the mat with lights out. Lively drops to a knee, the up quick, climbs to the top rope, then back flips, rotating around with "The Prelude" (Shooting Star Leg drop) , then rolls over as the ref counts Lively holds a finger in the air with each count.

Winner Michael Lively

Lively exits the ring in celebration.

Chase: Another win here for Michael Lively

Just then through the crowd is Dr. Matt. He hops the guard rail in his street clothes and slides into the ring.

Harvey: What's Dr. Matt doing out here!

With Green on the ground, Matt pulls out a beer can from his pocket and chugs it. Matt wipes his mouth and Green is up to his feet. Matt takes the can and crushes it on Green's forhead. Green stumbles holding his face as Dr. Matt picks Green up and drops him with the Doctors Orders.

Chase: Pay back for Apocalypse.

Matt's music hits and he drinks another beer as Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air

Harvey: Overdrive has seen an amazing fallout of Apocalypse so far, and there is only more to come. We’re just going to a br...

Suddenly Darren is cut off and the titantron, as do the television screens, break into static. We soon see a picture forming and it isn’t long before we see STJ in a white floor length duster, sitting in a office with her feet on the desk.

STJ: Now that I have your attention, Jeff, you had better listen and listen damn well. See, this suspension business, it confused me. A kid got drunk, threw a punch and got hurt. Yes, the media made a fuss, but the fact of the matter is that this was all sorted out before Apocalypse. But I was willing to accept that...and then I saw Apocalypse. I bet you think you’re real smart, Jeff. You would never have gotten your way had those loyal to Kenny been there in full force, so you ‘legally’ stacked the deck in your favour.

Tara shrugs her shoulders.

STJ: The problem is, Jeff, that yes, you can keep me suspended, but this is a big company. Other than the stars, you have what, three hundred backstage staff? Ten to twenty thousand fans? Let’s just say that there are a horde of possibilities for someone who knows how to survive. For someone who made her life on her street, for someone who has worked with the KaotiK General. You won’t see me, Jeff...but I’ll see you, and I will wait for my moment.

STJ stands and moves towards the camera.

STJ: There is a law of physics so simple that even I get it, Jeff, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Then you add the Kaos that comes with the Dark Paladin, The Avenging Angel...The Matriarch of UltraViolence. Oh you know that tagname of mine, Jeff, I am going to introduce you to her again, in my time, at any time, when you least expect it. Will it be you or one of your hired guns that feels the brunt of that attack? I don’t even know yet. But nothing will happen this week, I believe in giving at least some warning...or letting you stew. Now...

Tara motions with her hands and the camera pans back to find that this is Hurricane Jeff’s office. She spits a thick layer of red mist at the camera and there is the sound of movement, the lens is being wiped clean...and all we see when we can see clearly again is Tara’s duster hanging on the handle of the now open door. The camera looks into the backstage area and that bustling of staff that Tara mentioned...she could be any or none of them.

The titantron fades to black

Chase: I don't think SPirit is too happy about the suspension

Harvey: I wonder how long she'll be suspended for

Chase: What is the racket?

Harvey: Well I’ll be a son of a lizard, well I cannot believe it folks!

Loudly playing not from the speakers but from a tripped out low rider that is driving down the wrestling ramp of the Action Packed Wrestling arena is the song ‘Rico Sauvé’ by Geraldo! The convertible low rider with the color of lime green with an iguana image on the hood bounces up and down on hydraulic wheels as the driver of this vehicle is standing in his seat waving to the crowd with his free hand which is holding a mostly drunk tequila bottle! He a man of Mexican decent with a flat nose and sharp goatee wearing a black T-Shirt with a matching iguana image to the car hood on the front and on the back the question: Got Worm? Is mentioned! The fans, who know who this is go crazy! Saying his name as he steps out of the parked low rider with the fans cheering!

Chase: Who is that Harvey?

Harvey: Son, that is non other than the Master of the Drunken Tequila Worm Technique himself, Iggy The Iguana!

And the driver, Iggy The Iguana hearing his name as he struts down the remainder of the way to the ring holding now his tequila bottle in hand as he smiles taking the high fives from his fans as he heads to the ring. Iggy has a big smile on his face as he walks up to the steps entering the ring walking over to Tony, who hands the Iggy the microphone. Iggy offers some of his tequila to Tony, who politely says no leaving the ring in a hurry as the fans chant his name.

Iggy: Hello muchachos! Iggy has a question for you! What is it?

Iggy holds out his microphone as the fans shout at the top of their lungs for they know the answer!

APW Crowd: Got Worm?

Iggy smiles does a Mexican Hat Dance with no hat as he goes to another corner of the ring to have the repeat it once again.

APW Crowd: Got Worm?

Iggy: It is so good muchachos! To hear all the lesson Uncle Iggy has taught you for many many years has now come to the Action Packed Wrestling. So much so Iggy has signed on the dotted line to come here to compete against their very best! The IGUANA is now a member of the APW!

The fans cheer wildly many gaining the momentum from those around them as Iggy looks at them all taking a sip of his tequila then tapping the bottle showing the all the worm at the bottom.

Iggy: Iggy is happy to hear the excitement of crowd, maybe Iggy should finish of the drink and have the worm or Iggy should do the right thing and not drink a thing?

Iggy looks at them all with his face looking very innocent patting the bottle looking like a sad puppy as the fans shout.

APW Crowd: Drink! Drink! Drink!

Iggy smiles a grin hearing that as he addresses the crowd.

Iggy: Well… if you are sure… Iggy is not sure you want Iggy to drink the tequila and worm.

APW Crowd: Drink! Drink! Drink!

Iggy: Alright since you twisted my arm and all.

Looking at the bottle as the fans keep saying “Drink! Drink! Drink!” Iggy brings the bottle to his lips stops moving it away shaking his head as if resisting but the fans shout louder and louder as Iggy struggles with the bottle until he finally chugs the tequila in the bottle all down his gullet then the worm as well! The fans cheer as Iggy wipes away the remainder on his lips with the back of his hand.

Iggy: Now that is what Iggy need! I real boost tonight! Iggy is in the house and next week Iggy returns to the ring! So boys and girls, papis and madres lock up all your daughters IGGY IS BACK!

‘Rico Sauvé’ hits the speakers again as Iggy starts to strut and dance with the cheering crowd that absolutely love the bumbling drunken goof! Iggy cheers on then takes a swig from his empty tequila bottle looking at it like a telescope disappointed there is nothing there but he just smiles and moves out of the ring to back out his low rider with the fans cheering him on.

Chase: Iggy the Iguana? I cannot believe this he is a drunk! He will never make it here!

Harvey: Chase, our champion is a guy that wears a School Girl outfit. Iggy will fit in just fine!

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back ready for its next match

Tony (emphatic tone): The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit!

“Killing in the Name of” by Rage Against the Machine pounds at the sound system. 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.

Tony (emphatic tone): Making his way to the ring…hailing from Long Island, New York and weighing in at 255 pounds…THIS is “THE XTREMIST” TONY BLAAAACKWEEEEL!

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…

Tony (emphatic tone): And his opponent….

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): Weighing in at 245 pounds and hailing from “Hotel Rooms Across The Country”….THIS is “THE ACE” AUSTIN DAAAAANIELS!

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.

Chase (ready for the match): This is quite the contrast of styles but one thing is for certain - - the winner of this match will be back on track again!

Harvey (agreeing): Definitely. Both of these men suffered big losses at Apocalypse and a win her tonight can put either one of these guys back on the trail to a shot at any of APW’s Championships!

AUSTIN DANIELS VS. TONY BLACKWELL


The referee calls for the bell and this match is under way! Daniels quickly shoots in, grabbing Blackwell’s right leg for a Single Leg Takedown….Blackwell shakes Daniels off and lashes out with a heavy Right Hook….Daniels dodges Blackwell’s hook, ducking and hitting a Front Dropkick to Blackwell’s knees….Blackwell smacks the mat face-first, clutching at his knee - - and Daniels quickly hits the recovering Blackwell with a Spin Kick to the back of the head to keep him down! Blackwell kisses canvas as Daniels quickly goes for the pin!

POWERFUL KICKOUT! Blackwell kicks out by Gorilla Pressing Daniels into mid-air! Daniels somehow lands on his feet but stares at Blackwell with awe on his face as Blackwell starts getting back to a vertical base!

Chase (into the match): WHOA! Blackwell with authority! It’s gonna take more than that to put down “The Xtremist”!

Daniels, thinking on his feet, bounces off the farthest ropes and springs off with a Springboard Cross Body - - and Blackwell blocks Daniels’ Cross Body the hard way with a stiff Big Boot to the jaw! Daniels hits the mat face-first like a sack of rocks, prompting Blackwell to stand over the fallen Daniels and lock on a rear waist lock before flinging Daniels from the mat skyward with a German Suplex! Daniels’ body flails wildly before coming to rest on his neck and folding like an accordian! Blackwell scrambles for the quick pin as the audience chants “Holy Shit!”

Blackwell quickly grabs the recovering Daniels by the neck and locks on a Sleeper Hold to keep him grounded! Blackwell uses all of his leverage to keep the Sleeper Hold tight and keep Daniels on the canvas! Daniels is fading….Daniels is fading fast….the referee lifts Daniels’ arm up – and Daniels’ arm goes down! The referee lifts Daniels’ arm up for strike two – and Daniels’ arm goes down again!

Chase (into the match): Could Blackwell pull off the submission victory right here?

Blackwell is spun head over heels, landing on his neck and shoulders with extreme impact! Daniels is feeling it and points toward the top rope signaling for the end!

Harvey (into the contest): Lightning Spiral! Blackwell is out like a light!

Daniels scampers up the corner…Daniels gathers himself….Daniels keeps his balance And Daniels connects with the absolutely breathtaking Four Aces (Double Rotation Moonsault)! Blackwell has the wind forcibly knocked out of him as Daniels stays on top for the pin!

WINNER: AUSTIN DANIELS

Chase (addressing Harvey): Impressive victory by “The Ace” as he seems back on track!

Harvey (agreeing): It was all about the speed, Chase! Daniels was able to be that much quicker and it paid dividends!

The referee raises Daniels’ hand in victory as the fans cheer emphatically! Blackwell, angered, slaps the canvas before rolling out of the ring and angrily marching up the entrance ramp.

APW cameras appear to be backstage as we see APW World Champion “The Icon” Doctor Phate sitting regally on a fine leather coach in a very lounge-like and lavish locker room enjoying a platter of fine fruit and cheeses with his mysterious female partner. The APW World Heavyweight Title sits neatly on the new Champion’s left shoulder. The fans instantly boo at the sight of the new Champion as his mysterious female friend replaces the bandage on the back of his head, evidence of the extremely physical Grudge Match the new Champ participated in at Apocalypse. As Phate’s female friend seductively feeds him an apple coated in Brie while holding the apple slice between her teeth a knock on the door interrupts their stomach-turning feasting.

Phate (annoyed tone; winking at his mysterious female companion; addressing the door): Come in!

The locker room door opens…and in comes Overdrive General Manager Matt Metal! His head bandaged and his body battered from the Grudge Match with Phate at Apocalypse Metal scowls angrily at the equally bruised and battered new Champion! Phate instantly shoots up out of his chair, switching the World Title to his right shoulder before addressing the Overdrive General Manager as his mysterious female friend looks on!

Phate (annoyed tone; addressing Metal): What in th’ HELL do you want Metal?

Metal (sarcastic tone; smiling falsely while addressing Phate): I just wanted to…congratulate the new Champion, is all. You DID "single-handedly" defeat Kenny Lambardo so......

Phate (escalating tone; addressing Metal): Screw. You. (Patting the belt on his shoulder; addressing Metal; relaxed tone) I DESERVE this belt. I defeated you, left you layin’ in th’ ring in a pool of pain an’ sweat! I - -

Metal (interrupting Phate; angered tone; making the “this close” motion with his right hand in Phate’s face): You almost didn’t pull it off, “Doctor”. You know and I know that you came THIS CLOSE to losing that Grudge Match to an “old man”. You came THIS CLOSE to showing the world that maybe you aren’t as good as you think you are. You - -

Phate (interrupting Metal; staring angrily at Metal; addressing Metal; making the “this close” motion with his right hand in Metal’s face): Well, “old man”….you came THIS CLOSE to actually bein’ relevant again. But alas it was not to be. I’m the APW World Heavyweight Champion…and yer STILL Jeff’s B****!!

Metal (keeping himself calm; addressing Phate; laughing slightly): Well, if I’m a B**** ......then I’m th’ B**** with the power to make your life a living HELL!!

The audience explodes as Phate looks ready to hit Metal in the face! Phate’s female friend holds him back as Metal smiles, amused at the scene in front of him!

Metal (amused tone; addressing Phate): I don’t care if Hurricane Jeff has you in his pocket – because I have the ability to book you in an APW World Title Match EVERY DAMN WEEK until you LOSE!

Phate (angered tone; addressing Metal; being held back by female partner): I will kil - -

Metal (interrupting Phate; addressing Phate; smug expression): It seems that my invite to your little victory celebration was lost in the mail. No biggie, though - - I run APW Overdrive so I’m AUTOMATICALLY invited! And don’t worry – I even got you a gift! You know, for being such a “great” World Champion! (Patting Phate on the cheek; amused tone) See you there…Chump! I mean “Champ”!

Metal leaves the room with a amused smile on his face as Phate and his partner stand angrily staring a hole through the departing General Manager!

Harvey (amused tone; addressing Chase): Matt Metal made himself a VIP guest at Phate’s victory celebration!

Chase (addressing Harvey; amused tone): This just keeps getting better and better! No security! Kenny Lambardo ready to kill someone! And now this! Something tells me that Phate’s victory celebration later tonight is NOT going to be a joyous occasion!

APW Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on with a clip of Twister throwing the first match at a Winnipeg Golden eyes baseball game

Harvey: Welcome to Overdrive everybody, the road to Shockwave has officially begun as we are on the heels of a hugely successful Apocalypse!

Chase: Not to mention a great show so far here tonight.

Harvey: Winnipeg is always hopping and with all the new faces in the house tonight...

Darren is cut off in mid sentence as the lights dim through out the arena. A hot buzz is electrifying the building from the crowd as a long intro tone hums onto the speakers.

Chase: Dude, this place is gonna go nuts.

A red glow overtakes the stage, before it becomes lit up by a ring of pyro as BOOM by POD blasts onto the speakers. As Johnny anticipated every single person in the MTS centre immediately jumped to their feet screaming as the new Xtreme Champion burst out onto the stage.

Tony: FROM WINNIPEG MANITOBA CANADA, HE IS THE APW XTREME CHAMPION, TWISTER!

Twister adonned a Gold classic Bomber Jersey and black jean shorts... his trademark sunglasses cover his eyes as always but a very genuine smile is etched on his face as he looks out to the adoring fans.

Harvey: Twister out here ready to take on Jason Royce in tonight’s main event.

Chase: With the busy week he's had, I don’t know where he found the time to prepare for this match

Twister grasps the Xtreme Title off his shoulder and holds it high into the air drawing an even louder pop from the audience as he inaudibly jaws something back at them. Finally he settles some and pulls a microphone out of his pocket. He looks around the lit up arena cameras flashing from all angles amidst several marriage proposal signs through the crowd and a Twister Twister Twister chant echoing through the stands, Twister pulls the mic to his lips.

Twister: WHATS UP WINNIPEG!

Yeah why start the show yet, lets make the fans scream just a little more.

Twister: Ya know, when I got our tour schedule two months ago I was browsing it, and I was excited enough to see we were coming back to Canada... but there is nothing that pleases me more than being able to come off of Apocalypse, and be able to bring this Xtreme championship... Home!

Another pop rises from the fans.

Twister: I got a great chance to catch up with a lot of family and friends over the past few days, got to celebrate another birthday in Peg city last night! Got to watch the Goldeyes stomp all over the flyers last night... But better than all of that,,, is with the supposed to be Grey Cup bound Bombers floundering in last place in the CFL...

The fans silent obviously a bit touchy about their very vulnerable Blue Bombers.

Twister: Heh... I finally got to bring a home grown champion to Winnipeg!

Twister holds the title up again as the fans again erupt.

Twister: Where tonight I will face another such home grown talent in a man who claims our city stinks... Is a dump... Well... to each their own... Me, I think Peg city is the place to be... as long as you don’t take the bus that is.

Twister shrugs and frowns a bit.

Twister: But Jason Royce... Tonight... Winnipeg, the APW, and the Millions of fans watching via feeds all over the world are going to see first hand, that I am fu***** back... And you will be able to do nothing but count the lights at the end of this night. The Hardcore Kid has carried you through the tag team division and tonight I'm going to prove to the world just who is the greatest athlete to hail from the center of it all Winnipeg, Canada!

The fans roar and cheer for Twister.

Twister: Oh yeah... Jason... DEAL WITH IT!

BOOM blasts on to the speakers again as Twister salutes the fans and then “Scars” by Papa Roach hits the PA and Jason Royce walks out with his Tag Team Title.

Tony: And making his way to the ring, he is one half of the Tag Team Champions. The Iceman, Jason Royce.

A few fans are cheering for Jason but he essentially blows them off as he hits the ring.

Harvey: Royce looks focused tonight Johnny... He doesn't care about his hometown, or these fans... He just wants another title.

APW XTREME TITLE MATCH
Twister Vs Jason Royce

The Bell sounds as Twister hits the ring and immediately jumps on Royce knocking him to the mat delivering strong right hands to the challenger as the bell sounds.

Harvey: Twist out to send a message here tonight and defend his hometown.

Chase: Unlike Iceman he genuinely does care about his hometown and the fans.

Twister rolls with Jason until the two finally eject themselves from the ring hitting the floor. Twister rolls to his feet and ducks a lariat from Jason. Twister grabs the arm of Jason and swings behind him grabbing onto his head and driving him down to the floor with a hard Twister drop. Twister hangs on to Royce's leg for an early cover.

Shoulder rolls up.

Harvey: Close there early...

Chase: Twister almost got to go celebrating early there.

Twister rolls off the pin and mounts the challenger following up the high impact move with several head shots. Twister flips off the challenger again and makes his way towards the announce table. He grabs a chair and folds it up before spinning around and getting met by a tackle by Royce. It looked a bit lazy... probably Royce still shaking out the cobwebs. Royce crawls up and drives rights of his own into Twister before Twister rolls him off. Twister lifts himself against the security rail as Royce rushes him. Twister ducks down and launches Jason over his head and into the crowd.

Chase: Boy these guys really don’t like each other too much do they?

Harvey: Neither of these guys are particularly fond of anyone Johnny... Aside from their tag partners of course.

Twister leaps up onto the divider and spins around and hits a reverse flip through the air landing in Royces arms and slamming him to the floor amidst the fans for another cover.

Kick out. Twister rolls to his feet again and stomps at Royce as Jason gets to his feet. Fans are trying to swarm around their home town hero but Iceman and the Natural Disaster battle through the crowd trading blows up the stairs of the MTS Centre. The pair fly through the opening at the top of section 120 and find themselves in the middle of the concourse of the facility. Fans scatter out of the way as Iceman finally mounts some offense... Kinda... spinning Twister through a punch and launches him into a bunch of tables knocking a couple over in a snack bar type of area. Iceman follows up to Twister and lays a couple boots to him but Twister seems unphased by them as Iceman was earlier. Twister grabs a wooden chair as he gets to his feet, and with a baseball bat like feel to it swings through and cracks Iceman in such a matter that even getting his forearms up doesn’t even have an effect in blocking it. Splinters explode everywhere as Royce falls to his back. Twister tosses the two legs of the chair that remain in his hand across the concourse and rolls in for another cover.

Royce again kicks out. Twister rolls off the challenger again and treads carefully avoiding the upended tables and pulls Iceman to his feet. Twister sets Iceman up under his arm and calls out for a wind breaker but Iceman ducks down and hoists the champion on to his shoulder before rocketing him off and drilling him in the face with a knee to the face. GTS! Twister falls backwards amidst the tables and Iceman lays down for the cover.

kick out! The fans ignite as Twister pops his shoulder out from under Iceman who can not believe it. Blood trickling down his forehead Iceman looks at the ref who signals that it was indeed only a 2 count. If they were in the arena I’m sure he'd have seen the big 2 sign in the crowd... but were in the concourse... Not enough people with signs out here. Iceman picks the dazed Twister up and goes to hoist him on his shoulders again but Twister twists out of the hold and rolls Iceman into a school boy pin.

kick out by Iceman. Iceman explodes to his feet and drives his boot in the face of Twister knocking him back down to the ground. He lifts him by his head and drags him across the concourse. Iceman sees some fans standing outside the building and with a look of distain on his face he walks towards the wall of windows along the side of the building.

Iceman: You like this... He's nothing!

Iceman brings Twisters head back and throws him face first into the large window. Twister crashes hard off it and crumples to the floor holding his head as the fans bang on the window swearing at the challenger. Iceman grabs twister by the head again working down towards more concessions then turns and whips him into another window. Good thing those are strong this could be costly. Twister doesn't even get to fall this time as Iceman drags him by his head across the concourse again. The pair stumbles across a APW shopzone stand. Iceman looks to bounce Twister's head off the stand but Twister spins around and hoists Iceman through the air with a T-Bone suplex. Twister drives Iceman right through the stand, glass and wood not to mention the paraphernalia flies everywhere as Iceman twitches in agony. Twister slowly rolls over and drapes an arm over the challenger.

kick out. Twister rolls the other way as Iceman moves very slowly trying to crawl out of the rubble. Twister is seen pulling himself across the concourse and reaches the pretzel stand. Twister uses the stand to get to his feet. Instead of ordering a pretzel Twister grabs a shaker from above the stand and twists off the top. Twister turns around only to see Iceman chargins shoulders down towards him. Twister leap frogs the incoming challenger and rolls away as Iceman crashes through the stand. Boiling oils, various seasonings and you guessed it pretzels fly through the air and Iceman screams in pain as he slides through much of the afore mentioned oil. Twister treads carefully towards Iceman and lifts his head up just for the sole purpose of throwing the salt right in Icemans face. Iceman rips at hsi eyes rolling around only to get further hurt, cause its really not wise to roll through hot oils. Twister leans down to lift Iceman up by the head but Twister is met by getting a pretzel shoved into his mouth rather roughly... Twisters eyes go wide as he immediately brings his hands to his throat.

Harvey: Twister may be in trouble here.

The ref follows Twister down the concourse a bit before finally catching up to him at the MMMMMini Donuts stand. The ref tries to help Twister free the tasty snack as Iceman comes into the scene. Iceman looks genuinely concerned as this obviously took a violent turn and offers to help Twister by performing the Heimlich maneuver.

Chase: What a class act... Shows we have to stick together when times go south.

Twister allows Iceman to wrap his arms around his waist, but as Iceman is trying to line up the axis point, Twister shifts slightly and mule kicks the challenger right in the groin. Iceman keels over as Twister spits the pretzel out of his mouth right on top of Iceman.

Harvey: WAIT A MINUTE!

The ref looks on in shock as the fans are cheering from the main area. Twister lifts Iceman onto his feet then hoists him onto his shoulders and drives him right through the concession stand with a nasty F-U like maneuver.

Harvey: Ohhhh those mini donuts!

Chase: He calls that the Twister Bomb Darren.

Harvey: What a move none the less... but I am disappointed I wont get to indulge in many snacks after the show.

Chase: Not to mention what Twister just pulled here.

Twister not satisfied lifts Iceman by his head and up to his arm slowly. He then turns through Iceman and drives him hard into the wreckage with a hard windbreaker. Twister rolls Iceman over and rolls on top of him for the cover.

Winner and STILL Xtreme Champion: TWISTER

Twister stumbles back away from the wreckage and leans against the wall as the ref comes towards Twister with the title belt. Twister slowly lifts himself up and he heads towards a walk way. Twister hits through a curtain and is right amidst hundreds of screaming fans. Twister fives people on his way down the steps towards the ring area. Twister hops over the barricade and slides into the ring. Gingerly he gets to his feet and holds his title up high to screaming fans.

Harvey: Well no matter what he had to do... Twister got the job done here tonight Johnny... He delivered to his fans exactly what he promised.

Chase: I can’t believe what we saw here tonight Darren.

Harvey: This cross Canada tour is just heading up... the road to Shockwave is most definitely on!

Chase: This is going to be one electric summer...

We now see a shot of the ring side area of the MTS Centre being set up for the Dr. Phate Victory Celebration!

Harvey: Looks like they’re getting the ring ready for the gloating session.

Chase: Gloating is definitely the right word. The Doctor Phate Victory Celebration is NEXT!

APW Overdrive goes to commercial with a shot of the ring crew setting up the ring for the celebration.

[President Jeff]

APW Overdrive comes back from its final commercial break with the ring decked out for an Awards Ceremony of some sort, the regular canvas and ring skirts replaced with a crimson-colored canvas and black ring skirts with the words “Congratulations Champ” in crimson text. In the center of the ring lies a black wooden pedestal, its surface covered with a red cloth to prevent anyone from seeing what’s underneath. Also standing in the center of the ring is the President of Action Packed Wrestling, Hurricane Jeff. Smugly smiling at the fans in attendance Jeff looks rather dapper in a pair of dress slacks and a casual dress shirt as a production assistant hands him a live microphone. Tapping his microphone to get the fans’ attention Jeff clears his throat and begins to speak.

Chase (a bit annoyed): Time for the moment we’ve ALL been waiting for. Oy vey.

Harvey (agreeing): Only in America can you screw a man over and then have a live Victory Celebration.

Jeff (relaxed tone of voice; addressing the fans): Last Sunday at Apocalypse I promised that Sergeant Kenneth Lambardo would NOT leave beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada as the APW World Heavyweight Champion. And, well….why don’t you just see for yourself.

Jeff points up toward the APWTron as a video package begins to roll! The Video package shows Kenny Lambardo Vs President Jeff from Apocalypse. Kenny has Jeff in a STFU and Jeff taps out and quits.

We then see Kenny Celebrating and Jeff stopping the celebration and forcing Kenny to defend the title again then and there against none other than Doctor Phate.

We now see Phate coming out and he and Kenny fight with Jeff helping Phate out, eventually ending with Phate winning the title and Jeff and Phate celebrating in the ring as fans throw trash at the two.

The fans boo emphatically at the end of the video package, bringing another smug expression from the face of Hurricane Jeff. Jeff lifts his microphone into vocal range and begins to speak again.

Jeff (smug, relaxed tone; addressing the fans): I made a promise – and I DELIVERED on that promise. The reign of Kaos is no more! Kenny Lambardo allowed his feelings and his unwillingness to open his ears and listen to me destroy his chance at greatness! He could’ve been on top of this business for a long time but now? Now he’s going to be an afterthought. With that said it’s time for a new era in Action Packed Wrestling – an era of no BS. An era of substance. An era of honesty. An era….for you, the people.

Harvey (annoyed): “An era for the people”? Now THAT is BS!

The fans erupt with a chorus of boos, their annoyance putting a slight smile on President Jeff’s face as he begins to continue on.

Jeff (smug, relaxed tone; addressing the fans): You people needed a true people’s Champion and, once again, I delivered. You needed a man of integrity; of strong moral standing….and once again I delivered. You can thank me later. Let’s begin this new era, shall we? Let’s begin the era of this man – YOUR Action Packed Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion “The Icon” Doctor Phate!

The lights in the arena dim to the brink of utter darkness, the only light emanating from the Tron screen as the driving eerie guitars rhythms at the beginning of “Sweet Dreams” by Marilyn Manson begin to echo throughout the arena. The voice of Marilyn Manson 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 Marilyn Manson gets under way the lights come back up slightly, forcing our camera to gather itself...and focusing in on "The Icon" Doctor Phate cutting through the audience, the APW World Title draped over his right shoulder and his mysterious female companion in tow! The fans pepper the duo with expletives and trash as they make their way through the masses. Smiling sadistically, Phate hops the guard rail, his companion in pursuit, and takes his time entering the ring before making his way to the center of the ring and coming face to face with President Jeff! Phate’s female companion slides into the ring suggestively and slinks over to her man. Smiling, both Phate and President Jeff share a hearty laugh and hug and shake hands like good friends as the audience explodes with complete disapproval!

Chase (a bit annoyed; sarcastic tone): Aww! Well isn’t that just special?!?!

Harvey (annoyed): Yeah – especially muffed up!

Jeff happily hands Phate the microphone and Phate clears his throat for a second before speaking, the fans voicing their approval the whole time!

Phate (addressing the fans; amused tone): So this is it, huh? THIS is th’ reception you give a REAL World Champion? We’re in Canada fer christ’sakes! I thought you guys would be used to seein’ screwjobs by now!

The fans immediately erupt into a chorus of boos and “You Suck!” chants as Phate looks out at them with disdain in his eyes.

Chase (a bit annoyed; sarcastically): The new Champ REALLY knows how to connect with the people, doesn’t he?

Phate (addressing the fans; smug expression): Anyhoo….love me or hate me I am yer NEW APW World Heavyweight Champion an’ you WILL respect me! I DESERVE this title! I am one of th’ best this business has ev’r seen! I have dominated ev’rywhere I’ve competed! I have held multiple titles simultaneously! I am a household name! Hell, I have had a career that even yer beloved Kenny Lambardo would kill his wife to have!

The crowd instantly boos in horror at the words of “The Icon” Doctor Phate!

Phate (Smiling; amused) Ooops! Too late!

Harvey (annoyed): That was just poor taste! Cut off his microphone, damnit!

The audience immediately erupts into the loudest chorus of boos of the night and trash begins flying into the ring as an alarming rate! Jeff forces a few members of personnel to remove the debris as Phate continues talking and his female friend applauds his vocal abilities!

Phate (addressing the fans; cocky expression): Kaos is dead. So dead that their merch is gonna be on clearance by th’ time this show goes of th’ air! That era is over – and th’ quicker you people realize that th’ better. Like President Jeff said it’s time fer a new era. An era for you. An era for the people – to shove it up their asses!

This sends the audience into a frenzy, a “F*** Phate!” chant barely getting bleeped out by the guys in the production truck! Phate’s mysterious companion gives him a peck on the cheek before he continues.

Phate (addressing the fans; confident tone): Y’see, I love this business…but I learned a long time ago that jus’ like any business th’ wrestling business is all about money. An’ this belt you see on my shoulder is where all th’ money is at! THIS is what bein’ th’ best in the business is all about! And at Apocalypse I proved that waitin’ ‘til Shockwave jus’ wasn’t gonna cut it when I could have th’ top prize in the industry NOW! Jeff made th’ right decision enlisting my aide an’ his decision will pay off fer years to come! Why? Because alla you people out there wanna see me get my ass kicked!

The fans cheer at the idea of Phate getting his ass kicked!

Chase (amused; sarcastic tone): NOW the new Champ is connecting with the people! The jerk!

Phate (addressing the fans; confident tone): An’ seein’ how that ain’t happening anytime soon y’might as well prepare to keep orderin’ APW pay-per-views an’ lining our pockets! Now I have all th’ money! I have all th’ power! And unlike th’ previous holder of this belt there will be NOTHING holdin’ me back mentally or emotionally! Get used to seein’ my luscious gams partin’ the ring ropes with th’ 10 pounds of gold fer years to come because THAT is th’ only thing you can bank on!

Harvey: A declaration of longevity from the new Champ!

The audience boos as Phate happily hands the microphone back to President Jeff.

Jeff (addressing Phate; happy tone): Doctor Phate…to congratulate you on your incredible victory at Apocalypse allow me to present you with two VERY special gifts. First, the sign of a new era - -

With that said Jeff grabs the sheet covering the pedestal and removes it, revealing…

Jeff (addressing Phate; happy tone): - - Your very own custom APW World Heavyweight Title!

Phate and his mystery companion look in amazement as they eye the new title and giggle and preen like little schoolgirls! Jeff removes the title from the pedestal and hands it to Doctor Phate! Phate takes the new Championship and admires it momentarily before hoisting it skyward to show the people! The people obviously boo at him as he holds the custom gold high for all to see!

Chase (annoyed): A new belt for being a cheat! Geezus!

Jeff gives Phate a big thumbs up before continuing on with his second gift.

Jeff (addressing Phate; happy tone): And your second gift….is the month of August off! Take the missus here on vacation! Go shopping! Do what you want! There isn’t a number one contender for the APW World Title so please feel free to kick back and watch from home for the rest of the month!

Harvey (annoyed): He’s giving the damn Champion a month off? This is nuts!!

The fans boo louder than they have all night as Phate happily goes to shake President Jeff’s hand - - a handshake that is cut off by the following words:

“You Can’t Stop – Nu Metal on the Block!”

Chase: Business is about to pick up!

Both Phate and President Jeff turn their attention to the entrance ramp as “Come With Me” by Diddy begins blaring through the speakers and out walks Overdrive General Manager Matt Metal! The fans explode with cheers as Metal holds his microphone up and begins to speak!

Metal (stern tone; addressing Phate and Jeff): Before you two “buddies” shake on that “month off” thing allow me to say two things. One, I run APW Overdrive, Jeff! You may be the President of this company but I am the man in charge of this show! There will be NO months off for anyone!

The fans cheer Metal and begin chanting his name as President Jeff looks ready to blow! Matt smiles cockily at Jeff before continuing on.

Metal (stern tone; addressing Phate and Jeff): Two, I promised Phate a very special gift…and, to paraphrase our illustrious president, I plan to deliver! Phate, to congratulate you for your “wonderful” World Title victory at Apocalypse I give you the match you were supposed to have at Shockwave anyway – you versus Kenny Lambardo for the World Heavyweight Title!

The fans explode as Phate and Jeff rant and rave from the center of the ring, their disgust and anger heavily apparent!

Chase (into the proceedings): Metal has made the match! Lambardo will get the rematch he deserves!

Harvey (agreeing): Serves those shady bastards right!

Metal clears his throat before continuing onward.

Metal (stern tone; addressing Phate and Jeff): With that said, I was sitting in the back watching this crap in the ring unfold and, well, I thought why wait until Shockwave to see Lambardo break his foot off in Phate’s ass when we can see it tonight?

"Soulja Boy" by Soulja Boy begins blaring throughout the MTS Centre as Kenny Lambardo walks out onto the entrance stage and stands next to Matt Metal! Phate and Jeff look absolutely beside themselves as the fans chant “Kaos!”

Chase (into the proceedings): Oh boy! Things are about to explode!

Metal (stern tone; addressing Phate and Jeff): Then I thought I can’t send Kenny Lambardo down to the ring by himself – you guys’ll try to tear him limb for limb! So I had to find him some back-up - - and there ain’t no better back-up than Matt Metal!

With that said Metal throws the microphone down and he and Kenny Lambardo charge down the ramp toward the ring!

Harvey (amused): Something tells me the Victory Celebration is officially over!

Metal and Lambardo come speeding down the ramp - - and both men get ambushed by a dozen burly thugs dressed in the same schoolgirl attire as Phate! The men jump the guardrails near the ramp and immediately tackle and assault the duo of Metal and Lambardo! Jeff looks on, now understanding why Phate refused security as Phate barks orders to his men from the ring!

Chase (shocked): Oh – what in the hell is this?!

Harvey (angered): A group of schoolgirl thugs, that’s what it is! Metal and Lambardo were set up!

The burly men batter Metal and Lambardo into the arena floor before dragging the two men into the ring! Amused, Phate asks Jeff for the microphone as his Schoolgirl Thugs hold Metal and Lambardo steady on their knees in the center of the ring!

Phate (angry tone; addressing Metal): You want me t’defend the World Title against Kenny Lambardo at Shockwave! You’ve got it! But I want you to live wit’ his blood on yer hands after I try t’put him out of wrestling forever!

Phate signals for his thugs to beat on Matt Metal some more! Metal is taking quite a beating as the big men stomp and punch Metal down to the canvas! Before Metal can even attempt to recover the School Girl Thugs hold Metal up or President Jeff….and President Jeff buries the back of Metal’s head into the mat with the Eye of the Hurricane!

Chase (shocked): President Jeff eagerly picks his moves against a weakened man! This is disgusting!

Smiling down at Metal Phate and Jeff shake hands before Phate clears his throat and prepares to address Kenny Lambardo! The fans are booing to an almost deafening level as Phate continues on!

Phate (angry tone; addressing Kenny): As fer you, Mr. Lambardo, did you REALLY think I was jus’ gonna sit in th’ ring and let you attack me? I’m th’ Champ, y’dumb bastard! I ALWAYS have a back-up plan! And at Shockwave I plan to make you a footnote in history! But, y’know what? I can’t take all the credit for ev’rything that’s been happening to you since th’ week before Apocalypse….because this woman behind me has been of great help in getting’ to know you on a more intimate level!

Phate points to his hooded female companion as she saunters forward and stares Kenny right in the eye!

Phate (angry tone; addressing Kenny): She’s smart, she’s beautiful, she’s a goddess in th’ bedroom, and she knows you like the back of yer hand. I think you actually got a look at her face a few weeks back but you prob’ly couldn’t believe what you were seein’. What did you think you saw, Kenny?

Phate holds the microphone in front of Kenny’s face as the thugs tighten their grip.

Kenny (angered; addressing Phate): IT’S NOT HER! IT CAN’T BE! I SAW HER BURIED! I SAW HER BURIED!

Phate (angry tone; addressing Kenny): It CAN be, Kenny! It CAN be!

Harvey (confused): Is he saying what I think he’s saying? Could it be - - ?

Phate (angry tone; addressing Kenny and female companion): It CAN and it IS! Why dontcha take yer hood down, baby, so yer ex here can get a good long look at th’ beautiful creature he lost!

Chase (shocked): There’s no way in hell! There’s - -

Before Chase can finish Phate’s female friend steps forward and removes her hood, revealing herself to be

DIANA STEEL LAMBARDO! The fans, the announcers, everyone is speechless as they come face to face with the woman they all thought was dead! Jeff seems a bit shocked as well but can’t help but laugh at how sinister the whole scenario is!

Chase (shocked): ……..

Harvey (confused): ……..?

Kenny begins to sob, Phate’s henchmen keeping Kenny from lashing out at Diana and Phate! Tears stream down Kenny’s cheeks as he screams, “Why?” at the top of his lungs! The audience is rendered speechless! Diana smiles coyly at Lambardo before leaning forward to give Kenny a kiss - - and laying Kenny out with Dr. Phate’s School’s Out (Stunner)! Kenny is left in a pool of tears and pain as Phate, Jeff, and Diana stand triumphant in the center of the ring! We are all left speechless as APW Overdrive goes off the air!
