Overdrive - Yokohama, Japan (10/06/08)

[President Jeff]

A recap video of Aftershock is show and then the video fades to Presdient Jeff in his office talking on his cell phone.

Jeff: You’re on your way to the building right now?

Jeff listens to the person talking

Jeff: Excellent. I may not be a popular guy for this, but since when do I care about being popular, all I care about is money and ratings.

Jeff listens again

Jeff: Damn right. Anyways, I have to go, I’ll see you when you get here

Jeff hits the “end” button on his cell phone and smiles as Overdrive goes to its intro video

Pyro shoots from the stage as the camera goes through the crowd and then goes to tonight’s commentators

Harvey: Welcome to Overdrive folks and boy what a night that was.

Chase: If you missed it, shame on you, but what a show we have tonight.

Harvey: We know that the main event at One Night in Hell on October 26th will be an Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Title. And we know Twister and Sabur are going be in this match, but tonight, we have 4 qualifying match. The winners of those matches will go inside the Elimination Chamber at One Night in Hell.

Chase: This should make for an exciting Overdrive tonight. But who was President Jeff talking to moments ago.

Harvey: I’m not sure, but who ever it is, it can’t be good for anyone but Jeff.

Chase: Rumors over the past week has been that Doctor Phate is making a return to APW, could he be the man Jeff is talking to.

Harvey: It could be, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Chase: But lets go back to Aftershock, what a night it was.

Harvey: Aftershock was huge Johnny, a new extreme champion was crowned followed up by new tag team champions!

Chase: And they are hot as hell, but maybe more notably, both Michael Lively and...





Harvey: Wait a minute...

Chase: The champ is heeere!

Harvey: You are such an idiot.

Twister slides into the ring and raises the APW title high into the air to a roar by the crowd.

Harvey: Twister, the first man to retain the title in quite some time... Here celebrating with the fans it seems.

Chase: Gotta wonder what brings him here though.

The lights dim, the music hits. Orange lights flash to the beat of the music, as a shower of red sparks stream down like a water fall. The music picks up, and two large explosions on both sides of the entrance ignite as Sabur strolls through the shower of sparks.

Harvey: Oh dear... Business is gonna get real interesting now.

Chase: Sabur has been on a tear this week destroying everyone in his path because of the man standing in the ring.

The Irish Hammer walks the ramp, slides under the bottom rope, stands in the middle of the ring with one fist raised as red flames shoot up from around the apron of the ring. Twister looks around less than impressed by the surrounding pyrotechnics as Sabur locks his glare on Twister.

Harvey: Holy man this is gonna blow up.

Drums beat to a rhythm that inspires drama and anticipation in the audience. The lights die down, leaving the crowd in the dark, as a piercing trumpet rings out around the arena. A murmur spreads through the fans of APW. The drums pick up, as do the lights, and with a burst of fanfare and fireworks, The E-Starr Jake Ruby bursts onto the scene. With a spring in his step, he walks to both ends of the stage, raising his hands to the crowd who greet him with a mixture of boo's and hisses. He heads down the ramp, towards the ring, stopping at the base of the steps to look around the arena, shading his eyes to see the top-top tiers. Finally he cracks his fingers and heads up the stairs, steps through the ropes, and raises his hands up to the crowd once more, before slowly lowering them as he looks at the audience with daggers. Jake then breaks out of his routine and sees Sabur and Twister standing in the ring as well and backs up slightly but gets absolutely speared out of his shoes by Sabur. Ruby rolls around the ring as Sabur refocuses his attention on Twister. Twister nods approvingly a smug look on his face.

Harvey: Has the actual opening match started?

Chase: No idea Darren but I still say this thing is going to get ugly between the champ and the #1 contender.

Sabur signals around his waist as if to say that belt should be mine as Ruby pulls himself to his feet slowly. He swings at Sabur but Sabur with a sixth sense dives out of the way and Twister catches the flailing Ruby and drives him to the mat with a Windbreaker. Ruby lays motionless on the mat as Twister springs to his feet and counts with his hand in the air 1 2 3 and holds the belt up in the air. Twister pats Sabur on the shoulder and slides out of the ring as the fans are in an uproar.

Harvey: Well if that was to be a message to his challengers, consider it in the mail.

Chase: Ruby is out cold.

Harvey: Is this a match?

Chase: I don’t know anymore.

The bell tolls as a ref slides into the ring.

Sabur Vs Jake Ruby


Sabur screams out at Twister who is standing on the ramp before spinning around and lifting up a very prone Ruby before launching him through the air with a very solid Irish car bomb. Sabur springs to his feet and yells out to the crowd as he leans down and lifts Ruby to his feet again. Ruby staggers around before Sabur hoists him in the air aggressively.

Harvey: Poor Jake.

Chase: He's been a good dog.

Harvey: What?

Chase: Never mind.

Harvey: You've lost your mind way too early today man.

Sabur drives Ruby to the mat with a massive House of Pain and lays non-chalantly over Ruby glaring at Twister who is now at the top of the stage.

Winner: Sabur

Sabur blows off the ref and motions again around his waist as Twister mockingly applauds the man cow.

Harvey: A quick yet brutal match Johnny.

Chase: Sabur is going to be a force for sure, but you have to believe there's so much more at stake here tonight Darren.

Harvey: Elimination Chamber qualifiers still to come, before this night is through, our main event for one night in hell will be set.

Chase: I cant wait Darren.

Harvey: We’ll be right back with more Overdrive.

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The cameras pan out to show a packed out Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. The Japanese APW Faithful have come out in droves to see the Worldwide Sports Entertainment Phenomena that is Action Packed Wrestling.

Chase: Welcome back to Overdrive.

Harvey: We just saw Jake Ruby get destroyed by Sabur here tonight.

Chase: Lets see if the next match will last longer.

The camera moves down to show the Voice of APW, Ring Announcer Tony Ferrari.

Tony: Ladies and Gentlemen... This match is scheduled for one fall and has no time limit...

No matter what country we're in, the fans still boo their heads off as AFI's "Misseria Cantare" begins to play. The lights are dim and the stage flickers with blue strobbing lights to the beat. Snow flakes begins to fall all through the arena, and the walkway is filled with smoke. The strobing light beat to the music, and then as the lights flicker again the figure of a hooded figure can be seen. The I am JESUS pose is given then the hood is flipped back revealling Michael Lively as blue sparks shoot up from the floor behind him.

Tony: On his way to the ring... from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida... weighing in at 225 lbs... He is the APW Overdrive Champion... The Hottest Shit Going... "The White Lion" Michael Lively!!!

Lively then begins to walk the ramp to the music, rolls into the ring, walks to the ropes inbetween two ring posts, climbs the second, leaning against the top, holding his title in the air, as snow falls around him, and the ring glows blue. Lively drops down strike the pose again embracing the overwhelming boo's from the crowd.

Harvey: Here he is... the longest reigning champion of ANY title in APW History. Can anyone take that Overdrive Title off of Michael Lively's waist?

Chase: Well, Dita Von Amora sure fell short last week at Aftershock. But he's had a red hot Hardcora Luchadora hot on his heels lately. You know he can't be entirely focused on his match this week with The Hardcore Kid.

Almost as if hearing his name from Johnny Chase's mouth was a cue, "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath blasts over the loudspeakers. The Hardcore Kid makes his way out onto the enterance stage as the fans give him a decidedly mixed reaction.

Tony: And his opponent... weighing in at 240 lbs... From Las Vegas, Nevada... He is The Hardcore Kid!!!

No nonsense, The Kid slides into the ring and eyes Lively, waiting for the opening bell.

Harvey: The Hardcore Kid has most certainly been showing vast improvement in his game over the last few weeks. But it wasn't enough to keep the APW Tag Team Championships away from Kristina Blackwell and The Sinfully Dangerous Fyre Angel at Aftershock.

Chase: I don't think that was THK's fault... He worked his ass off in that match but I suppose there's only so much you can do with Jason Royce as your partner. Maybe tonight will be the beginning of a great Singles Career for him...

The Hardcore Kid Vs Michael Lively


The opening bell rings and the two competitors circle each other. Its obvious that the arrogant White Lion isn't taking The Hardcore Kid seriously, running backwards in a circle around the ring, showing off his footwork and striking an "I Am JESUS" pose for the booing crowd before rushing The Kid for a Spear. But THK was waiting for him... he Leapfrogs Lively and runs the ropes... The Hottest Shit Going stops his momentum just short of injuring his shoulder on the empty turnbuckle and turns around into a Spinning Heel Kick from his underestimated opponent. Michael hits the mat hard and rolls out of the ring, going to his mom who checks him for any bleeding. But The Hardcore Kid lets out a battle cry and runs the ropes again. Mrs. Lively looks up just in time to jump out of the way of The Kid's Suicide Dive... Her son isn't so lucky as both men fall to the floor in a heap. THK rolls to his feet and strikes a pose for a crowd that gives him a mixed reaction... Hey, that's an improvement... They were booing the shit out of him not too long ago. Mrs. Lively immediately rushes her son to check on him but The Hardcore Kid gets in her face. Terri backs down, holding her hands up and wincing, expecting to get hit but Michael Lively is back on his feet... He grabs The Kid by the shoulder and spins him around before turning his back on him and launching into a beautiful Pele Kick that sends THK sprawling to the concrete. Don't get it twisted... The JESUS didn't just save his mom... He was merely using the distraction to his advantage... Lively grabs The Hardcore Kid and rolls him under the bottom rope into the ring before giving his mom a warning that she needs to learn her place and stay out of The JESUS's match. Terri just puts her head down and nods as the fans boo some more. Heedless of their reaction, The Woman Hater agilely hops up to the ring apron before sprinting across it and straight up the turnbuckle. The Kid is still down so Michael takes a moment to strike another "I Am JESUS" pose before soaring off with a Frog splash that finds nothing but empty mat as the possum-playing THK rolls out of the way. Lively bounches up to his knees, holding his chest in pain as The Hardcore Kid runs the ropes and nails The White Lion in the face with a low Dropkick. The Kid quickly makes the cover, praying for victory.

Lively kicks out with authority, sending THK chest first into the second rope.

Harvey: Its going to take more then that to finish off "The White Lion" Michael Lively...

Chase: Yeah, he hasn't been APW Overdrive Champion this long for nothing...

Both men are back to their feet but The Woman Hater has already taken to the ropes, coming back with a beautiful Flying Forearm that finds its mark right between The Hardcore Kid's eyes. They both hit the mat but Lively is back to a vertical base with a Kip Up. The Kid jumps up to his knees and spins, sweeping Lively's feet out from under him and putting him on his back. The wind knocked out of his opponent, THK runs the ropes only to leap up and land with his feet on the middle strand before launching off into a Lionsault. He lands it beautifully and hooks the leg for the pin.

The JESUS calls for some divine intervention and gets a shoulder up at the last minute. Both men are back to their feet once again but The White Lion is just a half second quicker. He goes for a boot to the midsection but The Hardcore Kid catches it. A smile from The Hottest Shit Going immediately lets The Kid realize his mistake as Lively hops up and nails him in the back of the head with a brutal Enziguri. The Faithful boo some more as Michael hops to his feet and strikes the ever-arrogant "I Am JESUS" pose. But the boos turn to cheers as THK is back to his feet and decides to silence The White Lion's bullshit with a Dropkick that lands perfectly between Lively's shoulder blades and sends him over the top rope out of the ring. But Mrs. Lively is in the wrong place at the wrong time as her son lands on her, crushing her beneath his weight but ultimately breaking The JESUS's fall. Focused on victory, Lively leaves his mother lying there and runs for the ring again. But The Hardcore Kid decides he needs more time to figure this out so he keeps The Hottest Shit Going out of the ring with a Baseball Slide that catches Lively flush in the face and sends him into his mom again, crushing her against the Steel Guardrail. And does Michael Lively help his mother up like a kind and loving Savior should? No... He kicks her in the face and berates the woman for daring to interfere in The JESUS's match for a second time. But Lively slides into the ring and immediately plants The Kid with a sudden Spear.

Harvey: This bout has been back and forth the entire way...

Chase: Maybe Mrs. Lively should start staying backstage for her son's matches...

Just then, the Japanese APW Faithful break into a chorus of cheers as The Hardcora Luchadora, Katrina "Arcadia" Olivetti rushes down to the ring and helps a dazed Mrs. Lively to her feet. Unaware of his new spectator, The Woman Hater drags THK to the middle of the ring and climbs to the top rope. He strikes one more, "I Am JESUS" pose before getting ready to launch The Prelude but notices Arcadia and his mother on the outside. He turns suddenly and aims for the outside, soaring off the top rope towards his new target. But showing great reaction time, Arcadia dives for Mrs. Lively getting out of harm's way and leaving The White Lion to land jaw first on the unforgiving Steel Guardrail. The fans start to chant something in Japanese that I think loosely translates to "HOLY SHIT!". Horrified, Mrs. Lively pulls away from her protector and helps her son to his feet before rolling him into the ring, hoping to escape his wrath. The Hardcore Kid waits for Michael to get back to his feet and runs the ropes, hopping onto his shoulders for a Hurricanrana but The JESUS grabs onto the top rope and blocks The Kid's momentum before hooking his legs around THK's arms and launching into a somersault, just drilling The Hardcore Kid with a brutal Lion's Bite. He holds the move as the ref counts the pin.

Winner: "The White Lion" Michael Lively

The moment the bell rings and AFI's "Misseria Cantare" blasts over the loudspeakers, Katrina Olivetti is up on the ring apron. She springboards off the top rope into a Corkscrew Lariat she calls the Grand Theft Auto. Realizing the match is over and that he doesn't have to stand for this assault, The JESUS rolls out of the ring and grabs his APW Overdrive Title. He grabs his mom by the arm and yanks her up the entrance ramp holding the back of his head as Mrs. Lively looks over her shoulder at Arcadia. The camera goes to a shot of Katrina in the ring with her hands on her shapely hips, shaking her head in disgust.

Harvey: Lively outsmarted Katrina

Chase: Katrina been getting the upper hand on Lively over the past few weeks.

Harvey: Katrina better be focused on her match tonight with Dr. Matt

Chase: Indeed if she wants to be in the Elimination Chamber match at One Night in Hell

Harvey: Don't go anywhere, coming up next is the first of four Elimination Chamber qualifying matches.

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air

Chase: I’m excited now Darren.

Harvey: Why is that Johnny.

Chase: The next four matches are the Elimination Chamber qualifying matches, and with what’s at stake in winning these matches, I have a feeling that we’re going to be entertained.

Just then a voice is hear over the PA system

Voice: Hold on a second

Chase: What’s going on?

Suddenly Sabur walks out through the curtains with the microphone in his hand and the fans boo as Sabur walks down the ramp and gets into the ring

Sabur: Listen up you Asian Freaks. I know you probably don’t have any idea of what I’m saying right now, but none of that matters because the only person that should be listening is Twister.

The Japanese fans cheer for Twister.

Sabur: Twister, Last Sunday at Aftershock, We both know I had you beat. We both know that I had that title won. You just got lucky at the right time and picked up the win. So Twister, I’m telling you this….

Just then Twister walks out on the stage and the arena erupts in cheers. Twister has a microphone in his hand and the APW World title over his shoulder. Twister talks as he walks down to the ring.

Twister: Sabur, you want me to listen to you? All I hear coming out of your mouth is a whining Bitch!

The fans cheer cause they understood what Twister called Sabur. Sabur is fuming as he paces around the ring and Twister walks up the ring steps and gets into the ring.

Twister: Sabur, I’ll give you credit where Credit is due. At Aftershock, you we’re one hell of a challenge. And you showed that you deserve to play with the top dogs. But you know what Sabur, At One Night in Hell, we’re both guaranteed to be in the Elimination Chamber. But, so is four other people. And even though you beat the crap out of me at Aftershock, I’ll still walking out of One Night in Hell as the APW World Heavyweight Champion!

The fans cheer as Twister raises his title in the air.

Sabur: You talk a big Game Twister, but I’m The Irish Hammer. I am Sabur, the Strongest man who ever stepped foot in an APW ring. And if you think your just going to walk in and out of One Night in Hell as the Champ, you have another thing coming.

Sabur drops the mic and goes face to face with Twister.

Voice: Whoa Whoa Whoa guys.

The fans boo as Presents Jeff walks onto the ramp.

Jeff: Guys, you both must be sore from Aftershock. And Sabur, I saw what you did to Jake Ruby earlier. I think you both need a break. So I want to give you both the night off. But, at the same time, I want you guy to have a good look at your potential opponents for One Night in Hell. So there’s a chair on both sides of the commentators table. I want you guys to sit there and enjoy the rest of the show from the best seats in the house. So Enjoy the rest of the show.

Jeff leaves as Sabur and Twister exit the ring and take a seat in the empty chairs.

Chase: Things are heating up from where it left off at Aftershock between Twister and Sabur.

Harvey: That’s there second encounter here tonight and I’m surprised they didn’t tare each other apart.

Chase: Let’s get you our first of four Elimination Chamber qualifying matches.

The Pyros explode before the lights dim, the only light a stage light pointing directly at Jason Ricochet. The fans cheer for Jason Ricochet as he walks down the ramp as his theme song, ‘My Time’ plays over the speakers. He walks with a cocky lean down towards the ring stopping along the way to flex his physique, then shadow boxing waiting for his opponent.

Tony: Coming to the ring from Brooklyn, New York weighing in at 247 lbs standing at the height of six foot one: ‘The Sensation’: JASON RICOCHET!

Chase: Jason looks ready for tonight

Harvey: He came out short at Aftershock, but on the bright side he never got pinned in the match

"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. 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 as he awaits the bell.

Tony: Coming to the ring from Atlanta, Georgia weighing in at 265 lbs standing at the height of six foot four: ‘The Retribution Killer, Mr. Monday Night’: JOHN GREEN!

ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING MATCH
John Green Vs Jason Ricochet

The boos continue as the referee looks at both of the men telling the rules. Jason Ricochet looks cocky and arrogant as John Green looks as if he will murder Jason Ricochet like a little fly, whose wings have already been plucked, but Jason Ricochet dismisses this completely. The two start to battle it out; John Green hits Jason Ricochet in the stomach with a shoulder to the gut. The John Green steps back from the quick spear, as John Green quickly tries to show the world that he is coming in strong ready to become the a member of the Elimination Chamber, he grabs Jason Ricochet around the neck for a DDT, but grabs himself around the crouch letting go of Jason Ricochet’s head after Jason Ricochet swings a large arm up into John Green’s happy private happy place, the referee misses it. John Green’s face does not look happy, but John Green won’t let that expression be there long, for he wants his shot at the APW World Championship at One Night In Hell no matter what pain and suffering he inflicts on his opponent. Jason Ricochet starts with a running clothesline that sends John Green to the ground of the canvas hard. Jason Ricochet then stomps on the head of John Green with his foot over and over again removing some face paint replacing it with his boot marks. Jason makes a cover

John Green slaps his hands up and down in pain as Jason Ricochet gets up knowing that this is not over more pain and suffering must be inflicted to Green to make his point to the world that he is the Jason Ricochet, nothing is going to get in his way. So Jason Ricochet lifts up the body of John Green swinging the hurt clown to the corner as he follows to body John Green into the corner, the Jason Ricochet hits the corner everything, but John Green, who moved to the side in pain to get out of the way.

Winner: ‘THE SENSATION’ JASON RICOCHET!

John Green is on the ground as Jason Ricochet moves over to one of the top turnbuckles shouting to the crowd pointing down to the John Green. Putting his hands to his ears as the fans cheer him on as Jason Ricochet puts on a show flexing his body.

Chase: There you have it folks, the first man to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match

Harvey: A big win for Ricochet. He’s going to have to work hard if he wants that APW World Title.

Twister is clapping in a congratulation manner as Sabur just stares at Riochet as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The fans eagerly wait for the next match to begin. Suddenly, the titan-tron begins to repeatedly flash back and forth between black and white. Finally- the familiar image of none other than The voice of the streets himself appears on the screen. The crowd erupts into an odd mixture of enthusiastic cheering and hateful booing.

Streets Wilson: I bet you thought I was gone.

The screen flashes

Streets Wilson: I bet you WISH I was gone

The screen flashes

Streets Wilson: I can’t stop

The screen flashes

Streets Wilson: I’ll always be here

The screen flashes

Streets Wilson: Until “I” decide I’m done.

The screen flashes, Streets Wilson can now be seen sitting down at a table. He is deep in focus as he prepares his dreaded, lethal: and clearly in the professional wrestling world legendary “cocaine pepper-bombs” a lethal mixture of cocaine… and cayenne pepper. Particularly effective against “straight edge” superstars. When Streets realizes he is being filmed, he promptly begins casually whistling as he shovels the contents of the table into his lap and makes the signal to “cut”

Flash

Streets Wilson: The cayenne pepper is more for color really, sometimes I like to-

Flash

Streets Wilson: Iggy “The Iguana”…

The screen flashes

Streets Wilson: Watch your back.

The screen flashes again, when it comes back into focus, Streets Wilson is gone.

The screen flashes again and this time when it refocuses: Streets Wilson is back in screen brandishing a baseball bat

Streets Wilson: It’s that quick…

The screen flashes again, the baseball bat is now gone

Streets Wilsonnow holding yogurt: Is this non-fat?

Flash

Streets Wilson Streets gets a very serious look on his face: I think I may be god…

Flash

Streets Wilson: I told you what would happen

Flash

Streets Wilson: It has begun.

The screen goes completely black. Several minutes pass. The crowd is now getting restless. The scene returns

Streets Wilson: Yeah. The streets still run this Sh**.

A large smile slowly begins to materialize on his face

Streets Wilson: I will now address my peoples.

He clears his throat

Streets Wilson. It’s no surprise to anybody who saw the PPV. Streets Wilson is not the Xtreme Champion. Unfortunately for all the fans out there that disgusting smelly old drunk Iggy is the champion.

He makes a gesture with his hands waving the smell away from his own face

Streets Wilson: You know, I was in the ring with this bastard and I just have to say it, that guy smells like burnt diarrhea. The stench must have overpowered all of my senses and thus caused me to lose the match. Sadly, that is the way the cookie sometimes crumbles in life.

He quickly jerks his head to the left, as if something is going on behind the scenes, but it turns out to be nothing, as he resumes his speech

Streets Wilson: But Streets Wilson does not request sympathy, or remorse. I quite enjoyed the match. Except of course, the losing part. But I think I got my point across none the less. I am still alive. Streets Wilson is a fighter. Streets Wilson is a survivor. A lesser man would not even BE here tonight. But as I stated earlier, the streets do not feel pain. I have no “injuries” to recover from. I have no “soul searching” to do. I’m already back. I’m already ready. Meanwhile, Iggy that horse-face Iggy is probably on life support in a hospital somewhere. I could go down to the ring right now and beat the ever-living crap out of anybody on that damn roster. My activities will not cease. My goals will not change. My antics will continue. I’m still the man everybody pays to see. If it weren’t for me, this whole damn arena would be empty right now. Look into the future if you can: you’ll still see Streets Wilson rolling into another arena. If you could see into the future, you’d no doubt see that I’ll still have those banging connects. I don’t play around with the shwag.

A small segment of the audience seems to agree

Streets Wilson: Streets Wilson is an enigma no one quite fully understands. I’ve been on somewhat of a losing streak lately, but… have I not been losing my entire life? Have I not been in this losing struggle since day one? The thing that makes me so damn dangerous is the fact that no matter how many times you may think Streets Wilson is done… HE ISN’T.

He removes his sunglasses to reveal rather menacing and intense eyes.

Streets Wilson: Maybe I’m not doing so fucking good lately, but I’ve been in worse situations before… much worse. The thing everybody around here needs to remember, is this isn’t a new feeling for me. The angry hateful feeling inside of me, all the emotions I have inside me, all I need to do is just find somewhere to let it out. Find some poor unfortunate fool who’s stupid enough to step into the ring with ME… Streets Wilson. And when this next person comes face to face with Streets Wilson, it won’t be the Streets Wilson Iggy defeated. It won’t be the Streets Wilson that everybody knows and loves… now; they will come face to face with a DESPERATE Streets Wilson. They will come face to face with an ANGRY Streets Wilson. I KNOW I’m better than the nobody’s who have beaten me. The problem lies within myself. I had lost the NEED to not only win… but destroy. I frolicked around merrily, doing leisure activities such as running from the cops, smoking weed, and viciously assaulting random people… Well, all I have to say is this…. PLAY TIME IS OVER.

He returns the sunglasses to his face

Streets Wilson: Its time for the APW to meet the REAL Streets Wilson. The FEARED Streets Wilson. No more play time, its all good in the hood Streets Wilson. Its time to step it up a notch. Anybody here in APW who considers themselves “important” better pay attention to what happens next. Pay attention… to Streets Wilson. Streets Wilson takes what he wants. So what do I want? I want EVERYTHING. I said it wouldn’t be over, so it isn’t. I told everybody what would happen if I was tempted. So now… people are going to have to pay. People are going to have deal with the facts now. The fact that now longer will I be playfully filling the role of everybody’s favorite street oriented pal. I’ve had enough fun for one year, its time for somebody to get hurt. Its time for people like Iggy to look towards Streets Wilson and fall to their knees, begging for me to just let them live. I should’ve found out where Iggy lived, drove up to his house while he was having a barbecue, got out of the vehicle, walked directly up to him and smashed him in the face repeatedly with a crowbar as soon as I found out we would be having a title match. I should have found out if he had any friends or family, and I should have killed them. I should have gone out and made SURE he had no chance of being ready to face me. But I won’t be making these foolish mistakes again. I won’t be holding back my true form any longer. I don’t know what my future here in APW holds, but everyone here in Japan can be damn sure its going to involve me permanently disfiguring somebody in a manner not fit to be broadcast on television. So if you see Iggy “The Iguana” backstage sitting in a puddle of his own piss rocking back and forth whispering to himself “I should have listened”, don’t get too exited: Streets Wilson is just back in town. There’s going to be a string of violence and destruction, and the path of destruction will be traceable directly to me… Streets Wilson. So take notice, because I just said what I was going to do: now watch me do it.

The screen begins flashing again… it finally subsides and returns to being blank. The now rabid fans slowly lose interest

Chase: Wow, Streets really means Business now.

Harvey: I'd hate to cross his path

Chase: Well its time for our next Elimination Chamber qualifying match up

Tony: The following contest is a qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber World Title match at One Night in Hell

Sound of a woman’s scream is heard followed by the chorus of "Elite". Link comes out from the back standing at the top of the ramp. He looks around briefly before stretching his arms out to his side with his hands in a fist. This pose is what he has always called the sign of the Elite. He walks down the ramp and into the ring going to the front right turnbuckle (camera view) and again posing the sign of Elite.

Tony: Making his way to the ring first, from San Jose, California. LINK!

He goes to the opposite turnbuckle and just stands on the 2nd rope staring out into the crowd not giving any signs of Elite or any facial expression. He steps down but stays next to the turnbuckle to wait for his opponent.

Tony: And his opponent

Scars by papa roach blares on the Pa and Jason Royce comes out through the curtains with The Hardcore Kid by his side to a mixed reaction and the duo poses as pyro goes off.

Tony: From Chicago Illinois. Being accompanied by The Hardcore Kid, He is “The Iceman” JASON ROYCE!

The tag team goes to the ring and the Kid stays on the outside as Royce gets into the ring

ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING MATCH
Link Vs Jason Royce

The ref calls for the bell and The Hardcore Kid jumps on the ring apron. The ref yells at him to get off and Link turns his attention to The Kid, allowing Royce to attack Link from being. The Kid jumps off the apron as Royce throws Link into the ropes and taking him down to the mat with a back Elbow.

Chase: Link is going to need to keep focus here tonight if he wants to go into the Elimination Chamber

Harvey: With The Kid at ringside, Link is going to need eyes in the back of his head.

Link bounces up to his feet and falls in the corner where Royce walks up to him and chops him before stomping on Link to the Mat. Royce then puts his boot on Link’s throat and start to choke him. The ref counts 1…2…3..4…. Royce backs off as the Ref warns him that he can get disqualified. Mean while, The Kid goes over to Link and begins to choke him.

Chase: Now this isn’t fair. The Kid should not be allowed out here.

The Kid lets go of the choke before the ref turns around. Royce goes to the corner and lifts Link up and slams him in the middle of the ring and then bounces off the ropes and drops a leg drop across Link’s throat and goes for the first cover of the match.

Link grabs Royce and rolls him into the ring and Link Follows. Link picks Royce up and Snap suplexes him in the middle of the ring. Link bounces off the ropes and drop a knee on Jason’s face and covers him.

Kick Out. Link waits for Jason to get up and as he does, Link bounces off the ropes and The Hardcore Kid is there to grab Link’s leg. Link turns and yells at the Kid, then turns back at Royce and gets taken down with a clothesline!

Chase: Link turned his back for one second and it cost him.

Royce starts stomping on Link and then pulls Link up and head butts him. Royce throws Link in the corner and runs behind him, and Link stops at the corner and tries to jump backwards over Royce, but Royce catches Link in a running powerslam position. Royce runs at the corner and drives Link’s back into the turn buckle and proceeds to set Link up in the Tree of Woe. Royce starts kicking a defenseless Link and the ref backs him off. As the ref is doing that, the Hardcore Kid sneaks in and starts choking Link and pulls back on Links head, and then releases before the ref see’s this, Royce backs into the opposite corner and then runs at Link and goes to baseball slide into Link’s face, but Link somehow uses his strength and pulls himself up and Royce slides crotch first into the ring post.

Chase: When a move backfires, you don’t want it to backfire like this.

Harvey: It doesn’t matter who you are, no man should have to feel that pain.

Link gets down to the mat and drags Jason out of the corner and picks him up, only to give him a face to face atomic drop. Royce holds his groin as Link hits the ropes and takes Royce down with a clothesline. Royce gets up and Link kicks him and drops him with a DDT. Link hooks the leg.

The Ref gets pulled out of the ring by the Hardcore Kid.

Harvey: Come on now!

Link is quick to get up and the ref is arguing with the Kid. Link Reaches over the top rope and is able to get a hand pull of the Kid’s air and pulls him up to the ring apron.

Winner: Link

Chase: Link overcame the odds and pulled out the victory here in his first APW match

Harvey: The Kid and Royce thought they had it, but one mistake is all it took to cost them.

Chase: I don’t think President Jeff is too happy about Link advancing to the Chamber match at One Night in Hell

Link Celebrates as Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air and backstage you see Iggy, who looks beat up from Aftershock, but is smiling with the Xtreme title over his shoulder, standing next to Cindy Shannon ready for an interview.

Cindy: I am standing here with the NEW APW XTREME CHAMPION, Iggy. So Iggy…

Before Cindy can ask a question, out of no where from behind, Iggy gets knocked to the ground and standing above him. The camera zooms back to see Streets Wilson standing there with a crowbar in hand.

Chase: Get out of there Cindy.

Streets lifts the Crow bar up and goes to hit Iggy, but Iggy gets a shot in on Streets stomach and Streets drops the crowbar and Iggy starts punching away on Streets. Streets quickly gets a knee in on Iggy and then tosses him into the Interview set, causing the set to fall on top of Iggy, Steel Pipes and all. With Iggy trapped, Streets picks up the crowbar, but officials are there quickly to restrain Streets.

Streets: I’m not done with you yet Iggy!

Streets walk away as Cindy attends Iggy and Overdrive goes back to the ring

Chase: I knew Streets Wilson meant business, but I never thought of something like this.

Harvey: I have gotten word that we have Matt Metal on next via satellite

The Titantron flickers on and The scene opens up with a shot of Matt Metal with a band aid on his head. But in the background is a tropical beach. Women are in bikinis and Metal is wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Metal also has a really tropical looking drink in his hand.

Metal: Hello Japan, sorry I couldn’t be there but I’d rather eat my own feet. However, the lovely people here in Hawaii have welcomed the Innovator of Metalmania with open arms. Now, I’m only here to let you all know that I’m just a little sore and that my doctor reckoned after beating Trevor Blackwell at Aftershock...

The Japanese APW Faithful break into a chorus of boos

Metal: That I should take some time off and kick back, let this world class GQ body relax, and let everybody know that next week you will all get to see Matt Metal live and in person. But that’s not all! Next week I have a surprise for everybody in the APW and especially Trevor Blackwell. That’s right, Trevor, I know I jumped off the ladder and drove your face into a thousand thumb tacks with the most amazing Nu Metal of all time but I’m not done with you. I have beaten you and next week I am going to break you! And that’s all I got to say...Hey Chico...Get me another Club Tropicana!

The screen fades to black as the camera changes to a shot of Chase and Harvey.

Harvey: What the Hell was Metal on about?

Chase: Break Trevor Blackwell? How the hell do you do that?

Harvey: Guess we can look forward to whatever Matt Metal has got planned for Trevor Blackwell next week.

Chase: Guess the match at Aftershock solved nothing!

A moment later, the scene fades back in to another camera feed, showing a large Hawaiian man bringing the Nu Metal Master his drink. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that he isn't really Hawaiian but Samoan. And as we all know, Samoans are only really good for being wrestlers and hired thugs, so...

Hired Thug Samoan: Hi, here's your drink Mr. Metal.

He turns to leave, doing a horrible job of pretending he just remembered something else. Another well known fact about Samoans... they're not very good actors...

Hired Thug Samoan: Oh yeah, I forgot something...

Matt Metal raises an eyebrow and sips his drink

Metal: What's that?

The Samoan blasts Metal in the mouth with a huge fist, knocking him out of his beach chair and spilling his drink all over him.

Hired Thug Samoan: Its a message from a Mister Trevor Blackwell.

He then does what all Samoans do in a fight. He headbutts Metal in the nose, He smiles and asks Metal if he can get him anything else. Matt mumbles a nasal sounding moan and the Hired Thug Samoan walks away laughing, looking at the check in his hands signed by a certain Career Killer. Now the camera can fade out to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air backstage where you see Dita Von Amora leaning up against a wall reading a magazine. And just then, APW’s newest superstar, Billy Dork approaches Dita.

Billy: Baby, somebody better call God, cuz he's missing an angel!

Billy smiles as Dita looks up at him, then goes back to reading her magazine ignoring him.

Billy: I heard APW has some of the hottest girls, but none of them are as hot as you.

Again Dita looks up and then gives him a pissed off look before going back to her reading.

Billy: Well Let me introduce myself, I’m Billy Dork. And if you need me, I’ll be playing World of Warcraft.

Billy walks away and Arcadia shakes her head as we go back to the ring

APW Overdrive returns to show an energized, capacity crowd of Japanese APW Faithful. A number of fantastic matches the likes of which have never been seen before in the Orient have thrilled these fans and raised them to a fever pitch as The Voice of APW, Ring Announcer Tony Ferrari brings us back to the here and now.

Tony: Ladies and Gentlemen... This match has been scheduled for one fall and is a Qualifying Match for The Elimination Chamber...

Suddenly, his voice is cut off as The Titantron shows a "Now Loading..." screen with traveling ellipses from The Devil May Cry. At the same time the crowd hears a familiar voice blaring from the speakers. It's the serene voice of the woman who lets everyone in Japan know that, "She's sorry, but the number you are trying to reach has been disconnected," and you should "Please try your call later." She vocalizes the "Now Loading" that is on the Titantron. The woman cuts out after the third time and you hear, "It's time to play the game! Time to play the game!" followed by a strange laugh. The beat drops and the song immediately jumps to the chorus of "When Worlds Collide". As the crowd listens to the lyrics, "Are you ready to go/ Cause I'm ready to go/ What you gonna do baby baby"

Tony: Coming down to the ring first... Weighing in at 127 lbs... From Tijuana, Mexico... She is The Hardcora Luchadora... Katrina "Arcadia" Olivetti!!!

Arcadia walks down the aisle and slides into the ring in her black with silver luchadora costume and mask. She climbs the top rope and looks at the crowd, shrugs lightly and brushes some invisible speck of dirt off of her shoulder before hopping down and pacing the ring to wait for her opponent.

Harvey: Katrina Olivetti is hot as hell coming fresh off a win at Aftershock against Jason Ricochet and Jake Ruby...

Chase: That's not impressive... Everyone's beaten Jake Ruby... She had a hot streak before she left APW the first time and she had a slow start with a loss to Ricochet right here on Overdrive a couple of weeks ago. She got the win at Aftershock... Lets see if she can keep her streak going against the Legendary Dr. Matt...

Just then, the lights dim and Eminem's voice comes over the loud speaker, "Get your ass up for the Doctor, one more time, get your ass up for the Doctor". "Encore" continues to play as Dr. Matt steps into a spotlight shining in the entry way.

Tony: And her opponent... from Upriver, New Brunswick, Canada... weighing in at 247 lbs... He is "Hardcore as Hell", Dr. Matt!!!

Dr. Matt places his hands on his hips and smiles, looking out at all his cheering fans. He then high fives a few lucky fans sitting by the ramp as he jogs down to the ring and then seal dives in under the bottom rope. He gets to his feet, climbs to the middle rope, and holds a long pose, moving his shoulders to the beat, before hopping off and turning back to the middle of the ring as the music fades.

Harvey: This is Dr. Matt's first real challenge since returning to action here in APW... All he's had so far are squash matches against jobbers like John Green... We'll see how he fares against some real competition here tonight...

Chase: Make no mistake about it... Dr. Matt is a legend for a reason. He may have his own substance abuse battles but he has proven time and again that he is championship material. But he's yet to face an opponent quite like The Hardcora Luchadora... I sure hope he doesn't make the mistake of underestimating her just because of her weight and gender like Jason Ricochet did...

ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING MATCH
Dr. Matt Vs Katrina Olivetti


The bell rings and Katrina Olivetti starts to skip circles around Dr. Matt. The Doc smirks and drops down into a low Greco-Roman Wrestler's stance. He crabwalks around in her circle, keeping pace with the Hardcora Luchadora. With a smile, Dr. Matt launches into a Double Leg Takedown but Katrina jumps back a step and drops her knees down on the back of the Doctor's head. He rolls out of the way and wipes a bit of saliva from his mouth with a glare before returning to his Wrestler's stance. Arcadia sprints around Dr. Matt's back, grabbing his legs and crossing them before bringing her weight down on his back. Matt tries to push up on his hands but gets blasted in the back of the head with a Roundhouse Right. She reaches for his arms but the Doc tightens up, getting double shots in the ribs for his efforts. His arms release and Olivetti underhooks them before rolling onto her back and locking Matt in a wrenching Mexican Surfboard. He screams in agony for a moment as the Japanese Fans roar their approval before showing tenacity and bringing his head back hard across the bridge of her nose. Katrina releases and grabs for her mask as Dr. Matt rips out of the hold and drops an elbow across her throat. He runs the ropes to strike again but Arcadia shifts her position and brings Mr. Mattisfaction down with a sudden Drop Toehold. She hops up to her feet and launches into a Standing Shooting Star Press, landing with her knees across the small of Matt's back. She explodes to her feet and drags Dr. Matt to his, Irish Whipping him but is only a half step behind him. No sooner does the Doctor hit the turnbuckle than the Hardcora Luchadora is on him already, slamming both feet into his midesection and grabbing him around the neck, only to Monkey Flip him halfway across the ring. Like a shot, she sprints straight up the turnbuckle and soars off into a Corkscrew Moonsault that lands perfectly across his midsection. The impact sends her bouncing off of the Doctor, holding her ribs for a moment before crawling on top of him. But Dr. Matt was playing possum, the moment she touches him, Doc grabs The Hardcora Luchadora around the neck and rolls her forward into a Small Package. The referee makes the count.

Katrina squirms out of Matt's grip and slides out of the ring to recover. Dr. Matt gets up to his knees and poses for the crowd as they cheer.

Harvey: Wow, neither one of these two are giving their opponent a moment to breathe. It seems that Dr. Matt is able to counter Katrina's high flying Lucha Libre with some masterful technical wrestling and the same can be said in reverse.

Chase: I still think Dr. Matt has the weight and strength advantage in this one... If he can catch her that is...

Dr. Matt gets back to his feet and sits on the middle rope by Katrina, bowing to her and mockingly ushering the girl into the ring. She smirks and steps up closer before exploding off her feet, using her head like a human battering ram to drive her skull into Matt's midsection and knock him on his ass. He climbs to his feet quickly, realizing that Katrina isn't done yet but there's not a damn thing he can do to stop The Hardcora Luchadora from slingshotting over the top rope and tossing him across the ring again with her Dragoon Corkscrew Dragonrana. Deciding to keep moving, she hops over the ropes and out to the ring apron and climbs the top rope to wait for the Doctor. The moment he gets to his feet, she soars off the ropes again, throwing her own body into a Corkscrew Lariat but Dr. Matt shows amazing timing and catches his much lighter opponent by the throat before spiking her like a volleyball with his Mattisfaction Chokeslam as the crowd breaks into a "HOLY SHIT!" chant. She rolls across the ring clutching her throat with both hands before having her progress stopped with a Legdrop. He makes another pin.

NO! She gets her arm up at the last second anyway.

Harvey: Wow... Katrina Olivetti just kicked out of the Mattisfaction...

Chase: Maybe that's why Dr. Matt doesn't really use that move anymore...

Now, visibly getting rattled, The Doctor grabs Katrina by her long, blond braid and drags her over to the far turnbuckle, propping her up on the bottom rope. Doc grabs onto the top rope and uses all of his leverage to lift his body into the air and bring both boots down hard on her chest, audibly knocking the wind out of her. He pushes Arcadia into the middle of the ring and climbs to the top rope.

Harvey: Now Dr. Matt is trying out some Lucha Libre?

Chase: This can't be a good idea...

The Good Doctor turns towards the crowd before suprisingly leaping off with all the grace of a Cruiserweight and launching his body into his patented Stethosault but Arcadia isn't there when he lands! Dr. Matt bounces up to his feet holding his ribs only to be met by the Hardcora Luchadora rocketing off the ropes with a Springboard Corkscrew Shining Wizard.

Harvey: SUBLIMELY MAGNIFICENT JECHT SHOT MARK III!!!

Chase: You masturbate to this girl at night don't you?

Dr. Matt goes down like a ten cent whore and takes down the poorly (conveniently?) positioned referee with him. Not even noticing, Katrina is already back on the top rope with the crowd going insane. She signals for her 630 Shooting Star Press as the fans chant, 'STAR POWER! STAR POWER!" but "The White Lion" Michael Lively hops the railing from the crowd with a Steel Chair in his hand. He jumps up onto the ring apron and slams Arcadia in the back with all his might, leaving her tumbling onto her face. She hops back to her feet and rips the Steel Chair out of Lively's hands and blasts him over the top of the head. She turns around just in time to see the referee back on his feet and to hear the bell ring to signal her disqualification. But Dr. Matt is already behind her. He slaps the chair out of Arcadia's hands and lays her out with a Clothesline. The Doc picks up the dazed Luchadora and flips her up onto his shoulders before just planting her with the Doctor's Orders. He goes for the pin but it doesn't really matter. Lively's already done his damage...

Winner by DQ: Dr. Matt

Harvey: That was total crap! Michael Lively just robbed Arcadia of that match!

Chase: Crap or not, Dr. Matt just moved on to the Elimination Chamber!

Harvey: And Michael Lively may have just sealed his death warrent...

Chase: Maybe he should enjoy that title reign while it lasts...

Frustrated by the no contest but still happy with moving on to the PPV, Dr. Matt rolls out of the ring, slapping hands with slant eyed fans on his way out. Katrina screams and snaps. She lays out the ref with the chair and turns around to find Lively already gone through the crowd again. The camera fades out to commercial on a raging Katrina "Arcadia" Olivetti in the ring.

[President Jeff]

The camera pans the backstage area, finding the Hardcora Luchadora marching down the hallway in a rage. She hears the sounds of "The Jesus" laughing heartily and Ms. Lively's reluctant responses and Arcadia suddenly changes course and heads in that direction.

Coming up behind the White Lion, she blasts him in the back of the head with a pair of brass knuckles, laying Lively out and dropping them on his chest. Terri Lively jumps to protect her son, running to his side and pillowing his head in her lap. Katrina flings Ms. Lively away with the back of her hand and grabs Lively with a fist in each side of his vest and yanks him up, his face mere inches from hers. Arcadia growls at the Hottest Shit Going, each word punctuated by a shake.

Katrina: You cost me my match! My chance at the APW World Heavyweight Championship! A REAL title belt!

She releases her hold on the Overdrive Champion, dropping him to the floor with a thud.

Katrina: You took the title from me, Lively, and I'm going to return the favor. You're no Jesus, and you're no Champion, and the Overdrive Title is NOTHING compared to the World Heavyweight Title...silver compared to gold...a poor consolation prize but I will have it.

Michael Lively starts to stir, mumbling

Lively: No, my title...too many women...all a waste of sperm...

Katrina kicks him in the gut, leaving the downed "Jesus" and his mother to lick his wounds.

The titantron shows us the Career Killer in his natural habitat...Long Island, New York. Not as gruesome as one might think but looks can be deceiving. Trevor sat on a red couch. clipped to his black pants was a small holter monitor. A small black device with wires attached to his chest. Since his heart received unnecessary electrical pulses this was necessary for the next week or so. Other than that he wore soft casts on his ankle and arm to speed up the healing process. He looked...hardcore. And to properly juxtapose this vision, his little angel sat next to him on the couch in her same three piece suit equipped with a microphone and a notepad of questions. Her first words are genuinely concerned.

Skylar: Daddy...are you OK?

Trevor: Of course I am sweetie, I'm hardcore. No one can hurt Daddy you know that.

Skylar: Ha! I knew that! I am too right Daddy?

Trevor: Yes, you are, Sweetness... You're a Blackwell... Its in our blood... People still remember that time that you beat Sabur's little midget friend with a Singapore Cane. You're already following in your family's footsteps...

Skylar: Now Aunt Spirit wouldn't let me watch the whole thing, but I hear you sure gave Matt Metal a run for his money.

Trevor: Matt Metal got out lucky. He showed that he's on the way to being where he once was. He won't be so lucky next time...

Skylar: Do you really think that Matt Metal is himself again?

Trevor: No, not yet. But I'll get him there. I'll bring the old Matt Metal out even if I have to break him to do it. Wait until One Night In Hell. I will incinerate this pretender and the Old Matt Metal will rise from the ashes like a phoenix.

Skylar: So what's next Daddy? Any particular career you'd like to kill?

Trevor: Yes, I already have my next target. I'll reveal it as soon as I'm done with Metal. He already knows who he is. He just hasn't admitted it to himself yet because that would mean that he would be admitting that he knows his days are numbered.

Skylar: You heard that! My Daddy's gonna be killin' more careers after he gets yours Metal!

She giggled and cuddled up next to her Hardcore father and he put an arm around her.

Skylar: How did I do, Daddy?

Trevor: You were amazing, Sweetness... the best interviewer in APW...

The scene gets ready to fade out but is interrupted by a ringing doorbell. Skylar looks up at her Daddy with questioning ice blue eyes and he gives her a kiss on the cheek before leaving her on the couch to answer the door. A Federal Express Deliveryboy hands a small brown package to the King of Hardcore and accepts a generous tip before having the door slammed in his face. He returns to his anxious daughter, bouncing up and down on the couch as Trevor stops dead in his tracks... noticing that the package is from Matt Metal. He quickly unwraps it and unveils a small video cassette with two simple words written across the front in black marker... "A Warning".

The Career Killer pops the tape into his archaic VCR and sits down next to his daughter, one arm around her small waist as she lays her head on his chest. He presses, "PLAY" on the remote and Skylar stares back at him from the screen. It's a still photo of her playing with her Aunts Kristina and Kalayla... followed by another photo of her straightening her bow-tie in preparation for one of her interviews... followed by a photo of her practicing with her new Big Girl's Singapore Cane... The film finally melts away to show a close up of a creepy, evilly grinning Matt Metal. The camera fades out on his words.

Metal: Hold onto her tight, Trevor...

Chase what is that all about.

Harvey: Things just got more personal between Trevor and Metal I think.

Chase: Let get back to the ring

Harvey: This has been a killer of a night and we still have our main event to go, ‘Spirit’ Tara Jacobs vs. Kristina Blackwell, but I have to wonder, what the hell it is with all this barbed wire.

Chase: It’s Japan, Darren, there’s bound to be barbed wire somewhere.

Harvey: Yes, well...hold on, we have something coming in from President Jeff...oh my God! The Damned Dame of the Insane and the Hardcore Princess shall be fighting in a match very familiar to this crowd. In honor of our being in Japan and One night in Hell being in Tokyo, we shall see APW’s first Japanese Death Match.

We see the technicians setting up the ring as Darren Harvey gives us the run-down.

Harvey: On two sides of the ring, the ring ropes have been replaced with barbed wire, but that isn’t all there is to it. That barbed wire is packed with C4 explosives and hooked up to an electric current. On the other two sides of the ring, there are no ropes at all but, sprawling right to the ring barriers, we have a mass of more barbed wire also packed with explosives and electricity. This is a brutal match and these fans have seen many such fights between the likes of ‘The Beauty Queen of the Death Match’ Mugumi Kudo and Shark Tsuchiya. I can tell you something now, if you give two girls like Tara and Kristina a match like this, blood is going to flow.

Chase: The ring is set and I can assure you from here, this barbed wire is not the type you’ll see on a certain global federation, this is the real deal. One of the techies literally just sliced into his wrist when his glove slipped.

A technician runs a metal pole across the barbed wire, the handle of which is rubber, and sparks fly, showing us that the wire is live. Suddenly the lights cut out and Tara’s voice echoes over the PA.

STJ: You are fighting a warrior who does not need to imagine what it is to fight for her life in one of the most demonic structures in the business.

Spotlights start to strobe the arena like crazy as Confrontation blasts down the PA. The camera lingers over the entrance before moving to pan the crowd as it searches for Tara Jacobs and...there she is, her back to the camera, striking the I am God pose as a number of lights turn red and strobe over

STJ..

Tony: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is a Japanese Death Match qualifier for the Elimination Chamber at One Night in Hell. First introducing, calling home Brooklyn New York and weighing in at one hundred and forty pounds, she is the Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamned Dame of the Insane, ‘Spirit’ Tara Jacobs!

Tara spins with a flourish allowing the mixed reaction to wash over her. She tags a couple of hands as she walks through the crowd and towards the barrier. She vaults the barrier and, fearless of the barbed wire, slides in under the bottom strand. She rises to her knees and then to her feet, stalking the ring as she takes in the enormity of what she is about to go through. She slipped off her hat, shades and duster, handing them over the top rope and then falls to a knee, striking the I am God pose as she waits for her opponent.

As if on cue, the pounding of a Perfect Circle blasts over the PA with all the intensity of a wardrum as pyro spits up from the entrance. Emerging from the flames is the spitfire beauty herself, barely dressed and barely sane. She taunts the crowd as she locks eyes with her foe.

Tony: And her opponent, hailing from Long Island New York and weighing in at one hundred and forty pounds, she is a member of the most dangerous family in the wrestling business today, she is the Hardcore Princess, Kristina Blackwell!

Kristina struts down the aisle, interrupting her approach to the ring to run her hands down adolescent boys who whoop to the crowd. She looks up at Tara and smirks as she sees the setup in front of her. She finishes her approach to the ring with a sprint, sliding in under the bottom piece of barbed wire.

Harvey: This match is going to effect the strategies of both girls, both like to use the ring ropes to springboard their attacks and that will be very nearly impossible. They are also evenly matched in weight, you would assume strength so this is also going to factor in when it comes to forcing their opponent into the barbed wire which is going to be a lot of what this match is about. Also remember that this is a no disqualification match, I have watched a few of these and one woman was literally opened up with a sickle.

Chase: Only in Japan...

Harvey: Which is where we are. When in Rome...

ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING JAPANESE DEATH MATCH
Kristina Blackwell Vs “Spirit” Tara Jacobs


The two warriors stalk the ring as they size each other up, one mistake in this environment is going to lead to a world of pain. Tara and Kristina lock up and, as expected, they are evenly matched in strength as they strain against each other. Tara begins to get the upper hand starting to push Kristina back but Kristina flips backwards, trying to monkey flip Tara into the barbed wire but Tara saves herself, getting her feet beneath her. Still locked up, the girls manage to rise to their feet and we resume the status quo. Tara breaks the hold first and chops Kristina across the chest, Kristina responds in kind as the crowd woo. Tara chops once again and this sets off a flurry of chops flying back and forth. Tara breaks away and looks to spring towards the ropes, but she remembers where she is and stops dead in her tracks only for Kristina to lock her in a waist lock and begin to push her towards the ropes. Tara strains back but with her back to her foe she is at a disadvantage now. She twists her hips and takes Kristina down with a hip toss, locking in a head lock. Kristina locks in a head scissors but Tara flips to her feet, spins and drops Kristina with a dropsault. Kristina rises and gets met with another, Tara grabs a handful of hair and tries to run her towards the edge of the ring and onto a mass of C4 packed barbed wire but Kristina drops to the mat, taking Tara with her and giving her an arm drag, nearly sending her off the edge of the apron herself but she manages to hang on by the skin of her teeth as the crowd release a held breath as one.

Neither woman seems to have gained a solid upper hand as of yet and Kristina literally slaps Tara across the face. Tara replies in kind and as with the chops, this leads to a flurried back and forth between the two of them. Tara switched to chops and again, neither of the women can gain the upper hand. Kristina blocks a chop and takes Tara down with a European Uppercut. Tara staggers and is hit with another, Kristina, the ring general that she is, takes note of where they are and launches herself at Tara, sending her flying with a hurricarana and straight into a set of barbed wire that makes up part of the ring ropes! There is a loud explosion and a cloud of smoke along with a light show as Tara impacts upon the wire and twitches as electricity courses through her body. She is literally hanging upside down for a moment before falling back onto her stomach and we can see that the back of her wrestling attire is shredded, as is her back, with shrapnel from the barbed wire.

Harvey: Oh my God, did you hear that explosion? Tara’s back is ripped to shreds!

Chase: Kristina said ‘Spirit’ Tara Jacobs must die, she said ‘Spirit’ Tara Jacobs WILL die, and she looks to be getting a good start on that here!

We can see a slight trickle of blood as Kristina drags Tara to her feet and spins her around, scraping her face across the barbs that Tara’s body has just set off and slitting her forehead open! She tries to run her towards the edge of the ring not enclosed with barbed wire, Tara drops to the match with a well timed burst of survival instinct. Kristina kicks her in the ribs and then again, pushing her towards the edge but Tara grabs her foot and takes her down. Tara rises shakily to her feet and throws a wild right hand, connecting and taking Kristina to the mat. Tara backs off as Kristina falls near the edge of the apron and she hits her with a baseball slide, then another. She grabs Kristina who can see very well the barbed wire looming up at her and tries to force her off the edge but Kristina clings on for dear life. Seeing that she is getting nowhere for now, Tara drags Kristina back towards the centre of the ring and nails her with a standing moonsault, then a standing shooting star. She stands above Kristina, hops over her body, and strikes the I am God pose before completing one of the most beautifully choreographed trifectas in wrestling with a standing corkscrew moonsault. She drags Kristrina to her feet and whips her towards the barbed wire ropes, Kristina tries to reverse, Tara reverses again and switches momentum, flinging Kristina towards the set of barbed wire they were originally near and into the waiting mass of pain! Kristina just got her arms up to shield herself from some of the blast but it didn’t help all that much and the impact ahs drawn blood!

Kristina slumps to the mat and Tara is on her like a shark smelling blood in the water, punting her to the head she tries to rise. She roars towards the crowd as she drags Kristina to her feet and again looks for the big payday in the barbed wire that lies outside the ring. Again, Kristina drops to the mat but Tara is rabid, kicking her in the ribs again and again and considering Kristina’s head is a little foggy, she isn’t getting too much defence in. Eventually, Kristina is teetering on the very edge and all Tara needs is one more push. She backs off and urges Kristina to her feet, she drops her with a dropsault but Kristina JUST avoids falling off, she rises and Tara jumps towards her, but Kristina grabs her in a body lock, spins and slams her over the edge with a spine buster that sets off a deafening and blinding display of C4!

Chase: Holy Shit! Tara is lying amongst the wreckage and the blast aside, just look at the barbs sticking into a human being’s skin!

Harvey: A human body is not a conductor of electricity and you can also see just what that is doing to her!

Tara tries to move her leg and a close up with the camera shows that every movement is dragging at a piece of wire slitting into her body. She struggles to her feet and rolls into the ring, giving Kristina the chance to lunge at her, returning the favor with kick after kick. She backs off and lands an elbow drop on Tara, she covers,

Tara rolls a shoulder and this one is still going as blood leaks onto the mat from every ripped opening of her body. Kristina drags her to her feet and points towards one of the as yet unexploded set of ropes gaining a mixed reaction from the crowd. She lifts Tara high into a power bomb setup and attempts to run towards the ropes but Tara wrenches back on her neck, falls to her feet and spits a mixture of blood and red mist into Kristina’s eyes as she grabs her arm and drags her to the mat, wrapping her legs around her arm and kicking at her jaw. Tara manages to crawl away from the predicament and rises to her feet, staggering and the camera can see that her hair is slick with blood where the back of her head took the brunt of the earlier blast and it is easy to see that she is not in a good way. Still, she is a warrior and as Kristina staggers to her feet, Tara whips her heavily towards a set of barbed wire and there is another deafening explosion as Kristina’s back hits the ropes and sticks. Tara grabs one of Kristina’s arms and whips her heavily into the opposite set of ropes, setting off more C4! She grabs that arm again and entangles it between the top and middle ropes. She does the same with the other and Kristina is entrapped within sharp barbs! Every struggle causes them to sink in deeper and drag open further a wound. Tara slaps Kristina across the face, then chops her across the chest, a slap, a chop, a slap, a chop and Kristina is unable to defend herself as Tara lights her up, causing her cheek to turn a violent shade of red and raising a welt across her chest. Kristina slumps forward and eventually the barbs release her as Tara drags her free. She covers,

Kickout! Tara drags her to her feet. She picks up a second wind and screams from the back of her throat as she drags Kristina towards the ring apron, Tara’s back to the barbed wire. She stretches Kristina’s arm into an arm wringer and wraps a leg around it.

Chase: No!

Harvey! She can’t!

She can! Tara roars and flies backwards, taking Kristina with her with a Desecrated Grave and the move‘s name may hold true as for a moment, we cannot see either of the women!

Harvey: I...don’t believe it.

As the smoke begins to clear we can see the two women lying motionless other than the occasional spasm among the barbed wire as the Yokohama crowd chant Holy Shit. Tara’s leg still lies limply across Kristina’s arm. The ref looks over and he must be thinking of stopping this one for the women’s safety but neither of them would thank him for that. Tara begins to stir first, her back again being ripped to shreds by the wire. She grabs a handful of Kristina’s hair and drags her roughly to her feet dragging as much of her through the barbs as she can and then rolling her into the ring, her face now a crimson mask of blood as Tara‘s as been for much of the match. Tara rolls in and falls into a cover,

Kristina rolls the shoulder!

Tara looks at the ref, unable to believe the count’ She staggers to her feet and looks around the ring for a set of barbed wire that has had its C4 charge set off. She finds what she is looking for and rolls under the bottom strand. She braces herself and wraps her hands around the barbed wire, springing herself to the top. She takes a moment to steady herself...

Harvey: Supernova!

Tara rises to her knees from the impact that only a Shooting Star with full twist can give before falling across Kristina,

Winner: “Spirit” Tara Jacobs

Chase: What a match this has been.

Harvey: We know that Jason Ricochet, Link, Dr. Matt, Spirit and of course Sabur and Twister will be in the Elimination Chamber at One Night in Hell.

Chase: And what a match that will be.

Spirit celebrates and then helps Kristina up. Spirit shakes Kristinas hand in respect and out of no where, The Hardcore Kid and Jason Royce are in the ring and they both take out Kristina. They hit her hard enough that she ends up on the outside and former tag champs attack her up the ramp, which sends out Fyre Angel attacking Hardcore Ice. The two teams battle it out as in the ring, Sabur gets in and picks Spirit up for the house of pain, but Twister slides into the ring and kicks Sabur, forcing him to put Spirit down. Those two go at it and Jason Ricochet runs out to the ring and he starts fighting with Spirit, and then Link runs out, followed by Dr. Matt and now we have a 6 person war going on.

Chase: This is a early preview to One Night in Hell

Harvey: We’re three weeks away and I’m always pumped for it.

The 6 of them continue to battle it out and then President Jeff appears on the stage

Jeff: ENOUGH! If you guys don’t stop, none of you are going to get a shot at World Title.

The 6 competitors stop and look at Jeff.

Jeff: I had a feeling you six would be out of control against one another. And with you guys being locked inside the Elimination Chamber at One Night in Hell, I figured that you guys need a special guest referee. Because a match like that, I’m not risking the health and safety of one of my referee’s. And that’s why I’ve acquired one man who is capable to doing the job. One man who will make sure everything is called down the middle. One man who has no history with any of you. Let me introdude to you your Special guest Referee

Suddenly the man walks onto the stage next to Jeff

Chase: ITS LEVEL ONE

Harvey: OH MY GOD. LEVEL ONE IS IN APW!

Level One and Jeff shake hands

Chase: This is who Jeff must have been talking to at the beginning of the show.

The wrestlers in the ring just watch, what’s happening.

Chase: We are out of time

Harvey: We’ll be back next week!

The wrestlers aren’t sure what to think as Level One and Jeff shake hands again as Overdrive goes off the air.
