Overdrive - Billings, Montana (02/02/09)

[President Jeff]

DARK MATCH
Caleb White Vs David Hill Vs Dwayne Carter Vs Kid Mafia

Due to no one showing up, the match never took place

Winner: No One

Overdrive starts up with a recap from New Years Retribution with The Survive and Conquer match. We see clips of the whole match and then the final 2, Level One and John Green. You see the two go at it and finally fighting on the ladder on top of the hell in a cell, and finally, Level One winning the match and the clip ends with Level One pointing to the Rasslemania Banner as the NEW Intro Video for Overdrive plays















The video ends with pyro shooting from the stage and the cameras panning through the crowd before stopping on the commentators for tonight

Chase: Welcome to APW Overdrive. We are on the Road to Rasslemania

Harvey: What a night New Years Retribution was. Level One over came the odds. Being forced as the first man to enter the match, Level One wins the match and is going to Rasslemania with a guaranteed world title shot.

Chase: And a new APW World Champion was Crowd with Michael Lively defeating Trevor Blackwell.

Harvey: We’re do we go from here?


The fans stirring with anticipation for the next bit of APW action about to come there way. The lights go out which creates a loud explosion of cheers. Gun shots ring out over the pa...with the strobe lights flashing in sync. The music of AFI's Miseria Cantare then fills the air, as the Hardcore Kid enters the arena wearing his Xtreme title. He lifts his title in the air, as the fans cheer. Then Twister enters the ramp way sending the women in the crowd into a frenzy. Suddenly the hooded figure of Michael Lively enters the stage. He flips the hood back striking the JESUS pose. He then opens his vest and taps the world title a few times. They all then walk toward the ring as the fans roar, and the music pounds. The Kid throws his title over the top rope, then leaps up onto the apron hopping over the top rope. Twister slides under the bottom rope and springs to his feet. Lively slowly climbs the stairs then walks across the apron. He enters the ring unstrapping his title, then takes center ring with his belt in hand. The other two men stand next to him as pyro ignites around the entire ring as showers of sparks fall upon them like rain. Lively then grabs a mic, and places his world title on the top rope snapping it securely so it hangs on display.

Lively: Imagine that...ME...and this title in the same place at the same time. Who knew...I DID.

The fan chuckles then cheer for Michael Lively

Lively: So here we are fresh off the heels of New Years Retribution. An event that set records. We had one hell of a match with the Survive and Conquer stipulations. It also saw the crowning of the vacated world champion. A title that was vacated because of Trevor's attack. A title that Trevor tried to assume as his own, frankly cause he knew inside the ring he didn't have what it takes to get the job done. So he takes the momentum of his newly formed stable, and tries to literally take over APW. Just when you think you have the world in your hands Trevor, someone comes along to piss all over you. THAT GUY WAS ME!

Twister: You pissed on Trevor...what a sicko.

Lively: Shut up...you know what I mean.

Twister: Yeah you seem to love pee'ing on people...frankly rather obsessed with it.

THK nods with Twister agreeing with him.

Lively: Uh...world champion here talking. Now Trevor just when you try pollute the APW with another faction, someone saw the writing on the wall. They decided to assemble a group to deal with this disturbance before it got out of control. So a man with power, influence and very deep pockets pulled out his wallet and hired himself some GUNZ to take care of business.


Twister: So to make this here party complete let us introduce the man behind it all.


THK: Mr. Deep pockets himself.....


Lively: MAX CARTER!









Max Carter enters the ring with a huge smile on his face. He slaps hands with the guys of Hired Gunz.


Lively: Now...that he's here, lets us present him with the funeral...of Trevor Blackwell. That’s right folks you may not have heard the news. Shortly after the match where I destroyed him, his life ended. His career deceased, and no longer will you people be forced to put up with Trevor's crap crow bared into your life.


Twister: So wheel that casket out here so we can pay our final respects to the Blackwell bitch boy.


Soon the sad errie funeral parlor music fills the arena airways. Large pillars with candles lit on them are brought out as a casket is wheeled onto the stage. TheHired Gunz and Max Carter all hold their wrists and bow their heads in the direction of the casket. As the music plays the fans aren't sure what will happen next.


Harvey: Wow, this isn't going to sit well with Blackwell.


Chase: Or Pure Innovation.


Lively then holds the mic to his mouth.


Lively: Now with Trevor Blackwell's body stuffed in the ground, laid to rest, so maggots can feed on his pot infested skin, Pure Innovation will surely get squashed by the boot of the Hired Gunz like a rotten roach. You miserable excuses for competition will soon realize that following a washed up has been like Trevor Blackwell leads you to the grave. You see the only Careers' this ass clown ever killed were that of the people dumb enough to follow him. So Pure Innovation your lesson in life begins here and now. Look at the dead career of Trevor Blackwell.


The music of Pure Innovation hits, and the fans roar with boo's. Carl Cage, Jason Royce and Tabitha Crowley all make their way onto the stage. Cage gives the casket a huge boot knocking it over. The Hired Gunz all look out toward Pure Innovation.


Chase: Where is Trevor???


Harvey: I'm sure he'll be here real soon.


Just then the Career Killer hops the guard rail with his cane in hand. He slides under the rope, standing behind Michael Lively ready to unload a nasty cane shot.

Harvey: Where’s his handcuff, I thought he was to be escorted?

Lively realizes what is going on and back flips kicking Blackwell in the head. Twister and the Kid notice that Trevor has snuck up. They then begin kicking and punching the Career Killer rapidly. Pure Innovation sees their leader getting hammered, and sprint to the ring. Carl rolls in and Twister turns around getting speared by the huge monster of a man. The Legacy Jason Royce slides in and THK turns seeing his enemy rushing toward him. They begin exchanging blows in a fury and fall out of the ring like two cats in an alley fight. Tabitha come in the ring trying to attack Michael Lively, but is stopped by Max Carter. They exchange looks and she swings toward the man. Her punch is stopped by security grabbing her arms. They have rushed out to ringside breaking up the fight. Mostly separating the Pure Innovation group. Trevor backs up the ramp followed by his crew. The Career Killer looks desperately angry.


Chase: He's furious.


Harvey: Yeah another chance at becoming the world champ, and another disappointment for Trevor.


Max Carter steps forward with the mic in hand.


Max: Well Trevor...you seem to have your army, and as you can see I have mine. So at Carnage...it will be Pure Innovation versus the Hired Gunz in a war games match.


Trevor looks back at Carter like he wishes he were dead. Cage taps him on the shoulder as he shakes his head at the announcement. Lively steps forward holding his title high in the air. The Hardcore Kid walks up holding his title as well as Twister grabs Trevor's cane snapping it in two then throws the pieces out of the ring for the fans.


Chase: There you have it folks, at Carnage Max Carter has made the match.


Harvey: A war games match will surely unleash carnage.

Overdrive then heads out for a commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

Do you remember a time when you fall in love at first sight and later when the mood is right and the feeling is too, so all is well until the morning after? Well Slippery When Wet Limited remembers and they’re making it your business to remember also, with the Morning After Collection, where you’ll hear such one time classics as…



I Got the Clap! – Mack Truck and the Road Killers



“Woke up this morning, hot off the prowl. I had myself shower, just to get rid of the smell. Everything seemed alright and little that I know. I should have wrapped up tight before I let it go, I got the Clap! It could have been from that waitress in the bar. I got the Clap! It could have been that hot little number that I did it with in the car. I got the Clap! Please no applause, I got the Clap! Next time I have sex I am handing out a disclaimer clause, I got the Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, I got the Clap!”



It’s Your Baby – Missy Miss Feat. Bad Boy Leroy Blue



“It’s your baby! No it’s not mine. It’s your baby! Bitch are you blind? It’s your baby! It don’t look like me. It’s your baby! I’m not even Portuguese! We slept once I used three rubbers, I heard you got around with everyone and their brother. It’s your baby! I’m not even fertile. It’s your baby! I had a vasectomy, why don’t you believe me? I may have been that last rider of the day, but I don’t owe you dollar one, so I won’t pay or stay.”



The Hangover of the Century – Slippers and the Smelly Feet



“My head is banging up and down. I see no slowing, slowing down. I want the pain to stop, if I don’t drop before that is. If it stops, stops soon I swear to god that I’ll never drink again. Stories told and stories heard, everything is too loud, too bright, man I need a drink, maybe tonight.”

Green: I'm John Green and I approve of these songs. But I don't have no damn clap.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back from commercial with a clip of Max Carter announcing for Carnage, Pure Innovation Vs The Hired Gunz in a War Games Match

The camera’s cut backstage and you see Level One warming up for his match later tonight against The Hardcore Kid. You suddenly hear clapping in the background. Level One looks over and John Green walks into the picture clapping.

John: Nice Job last Sunday.

Level One: Yah, I just wish I had more of a challenge.

John: You do realize that I had that match won right?

Level: What ever man.

John: You got Lucky. If you didn’t land where you did so you could kick that ladder from under me. I would be going to Rasslemania.

Level One: I’m better than you John. That’s why I’m going to Rasslemania.

John: I still think you got lucky. And I know that I can beat you.

Level One: Is that so. Well, keep dreaming that, because its not going to happen.

John: Listen….

You hear someone clear their throat and Jamal “Lynch” Jackson appears.

Jamal: Sorry to interrupt. I’m not here to kick your ass John. I have plenty of time later on to do that. But I just want to point out. My first match in APW, Survive and Conquer. I made a freakin impact. I entered the match at number 5 and made it to the final 3.

Level One: Who cares. You didn’t win.

Jamal: Maybe not. But I do believe that I can beat you.

Level One: Me?

Jamal: Yes you. I made an impact at New Years Retribution, and now I want to make one at Carnage, so I challenge you to a match Level One.

John: Hold on a second. If anyone is going to challenge Level One at Carnage, its going to be me. I shocked the world when I returned for the Survive and Conquer match. I shocked the world when I got to the final two.

Level One: If you guys are done being bitches. I’ll decide who I’ll fight at Carnage. You guys have a match later tonight. I’ll decide from that. So now, leave me the hell alone!

Green and Jamal walk in separate directions as we go to the ring for our opening contest.

A man and a woman are fighting, well the woman is bitching at the man and the man is looking around not even taking in anything she is saying.

Woman: You never listen to me! Do you think my ass is fat? My girlfriends were right about you!

Man: Can you get me a Red Bull?

Woman: Do you think I am your servant? Get it yourself!

Man: (Under his breath) If you were a servant I’d fire your fat ass for talking back.

Woman: What was that?

Man: Nothing!

Woman: That’s what you are, a big nothing!

The man opens the Red Bull can and he swings it back.

Woman: What you stupid or something? You hoping to grow some wings?

Man: No, I was quenching my thirst and I came over here to grab this!

The man out of nowhere whacks a frying pan across the face of the woman and she goes down and the man tosses the pan onto the table and takes another drink of his Red Bull.

Man: You do have a fat ass!

Disclaimer: Red Bull can’t gives you wings, but blood does not stick thanks to Pam.

Green: Hi I'm John Green and nothing's better than Red Bull except going upside a bitches head.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back from commercial for the next match

Nicky: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

Bout It Bout it hits the speakers of the building. The fans rise to their feet cheering and swaying to the song. Lynch enters the arena Blood Walking.

Nicky: Making his way to the ring first, Jamal “Lynch” Jackson

He pauses for a moment looking out to the fans, throws a few signs then Blood walks to the ring. Rolls under the bottom rope, throws a few signs out, and stands awaiting his opponent.

Nicky: And his opponent

"King Nothing" by Metallica blasts through the P.A. system and the crowd hits their feet as they await for "The Retribution Killer". As the heavy metal guitar solo comes to an end out comes John comes out wearing his normal wrestling attire with his "The Retribution Killer" shirt on. He does his trademarked "Retribution" Pose and pyro shoots into the air.

Nicky: From Atlanta Georgia, John Green

John walks down the ramp holding his belt and slapping some hands from the fans on the way to the ring. John smirks as the roar of the crowd fills the arena as he stops in front of the squared circle.. He slides in then lets out a monstrous roar and beats his chest. He walks to the turnbuckle and climbs them to the second rope and raises his arms and then once again does his trademarked "Retribution" pose. John hops off and takes off his shirt and throws it into the crowd. His music fades out as he awaits for the bell to ring. And then

Level One makes his way down the ramp

Chase: What is he doing out here?

Level One walks around the ring. Green and Jackson stare at him as he sits next to Johnny Chase and Darren Harvey and puts on a headset.

Harvey: Welcome Level One. What brings you out here?

Level One: These two both want to fight me at Carnage. Well, I’m out here to get a closer look at just who I want to fight.

John Green Vs Jamal Jackson

The Start

The match starts with Jamal attacking Green in the corner as soon as the bell rings. Spears in the corner, weakens Green, allowing Jamal to throw Green into the opposite corner and rush at him and crushing him with a splash. Jamal picks Green up on his shoulder for a running power slam, but Green slides off his back. Jamal turns and Green punches him to the corner and stomps Jamal to the mat.

Mid Match

Green has control of the match, keeping Jamal on the mat and using his technical skills. At one point, Green catches Jamal with a high knee, and gets a 2 count. After a while, Green goes to pick Jamal up, and Jamal gets his head under Green’s Jaw and drops him with a Jaw Breaker. Jamal is in control now and takes Green down with a clothesline and eventually a bulldog in the middle of the ring for a near 3 count.

Jamal stays in control and has Green in the corner. Green fights back out of the corner and Jamal manages to stop Green momentum by catching him with a running power slam, which only gets a 2 count.

After Powering Green for a bit longer, Jamal goes for a powerbomb. He picks Green up and Green punches Jamal in the head, causing Jamal to fall backwards. Green is back in control taking Jamal down with clotheslines and then a DDT for only a 2 count. Green picks Jamal up and he fights back and goes to throw Green into the ropes, and Green reverses it and catches Jamal with a sleeper. The fans are cheering as Jamal looks to be out of it, but he throws Green off into the ropes and they catch each other with a double clothesline

The End

Both guys stay down until the ref counts 8 and then they get up. Green kicks Jamal and goes for the Head Pplitter, but Jamal back drops out of it and then goes for the Grind, but Green counters into a crossbody slam and gets a 2 count. Jamal uses the ropes to get up and Green clotheslines him over and he goes over as well. With both guys on the ground, slowly getting up, the ref begins to count them out. Level One then gets up from his commentating position and grabs his chair. Green is up first and Level One nails him in the head with the chair and Jamal is up and Level One lays him out as well, and the ref calls for the bell

Winner: No Contest

Level One looks down at both of them and smiles as he takes the mic

Level One: It’s a good feeling to beat one man. But its even a greater feeling to beat two. So at Carnage, I’m going to beat both of you!

Level One drops the mic and begins leaving

Harvey: It looks like it will be Level One Verses John Green Verses Jamal Jackson at Carnage.

Chase: Add that with the War Games match. This is already shaping up to be a great Pay Per View


The camera’s cut backstage where Max Carter is talking on the phone

Max: Think about it, you can be the 4th member of Hired Gunz. We need one more person for the War Games match at Carnage and it can be you…….We’ll think about it. But I know you’ll make the right decision.

Chase: Who is he talking to?

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Backstage in the Pure Innovation Locker Room, Royce and Cage are seen with Trevor and Crowley alone,

Jason: Its good to see you guys out of jail. That was bullcrap who does Max Carter think he is locking you up like a rabid dog, I will make him realize that he made a big mistake.

Trevor: No Jason don’t do that you will just end up in jail anyways it’s not worth the time nor the effort to mess with the new Gm, he nothing anyway, I made this company and I am sure as hell not going to let some crummy little fraud of a gm ruin what I created, screw him.

Cage: I can take care of Max Carter for you

Trevor: Cage settle down, I have all the figured out but first Jason didn’t I hear you had a problem with a certain Hardcore Kid as of late. I don’t think that beating you gave him was good enough it seems he still wants a piece of you, well I do have a little something for you.

Trevor looks round and hands Jason a Singapore Cane that he hid and lays into Jason’s waiting hands.

Trevor: Look Jason I am giving you this cause I don’t need it right now. So I figure why not get some use out of it, and really make The Hardcore Kid pay for stealing your Xtreme Title.

Jason: Thanks Trevor, but one more thing I mean no one is this company takes us for anything but a miss fit of four people that really don’t fit together, what we going to do about that.

Trevor: Listen Jason, I have that taken care of ok, what I have in mind will surely shake the very bones of APW, and we’ll stick a that cane up Max Carters ass, and show him that one thing is for sure, that you never mess with Pure innovation never, so go and take care of The Hardcore Kid I will call you when I want to put the plan into motion.

Jason and Cage walk away as the scene ends as we go to the ring for the next match

Nicky: The following contest is for the Overdrive Championship

As "Don't Question My Heart" by Saliva and the crowd erupts into a chorus of boos. As the song picks up smoke rises and finally the pyros are set off with one big bang as Carl Cage steps out onto the ramp with his arms outstretched

Nicky: Making his way to the ring first is the challenger, he is Carl Cage!

Cage lowers his arms. Then he make his way down to the ring gesturing and back chatting the crowd as they are shouting abuse to the crowd who are booing them. Before they reach the ring, Cage walks up the steps and step's over the top rope, he then walks into the middle of the ring and starts posing as the crowds booing gets louder and louder. After he has finished posing Carl stops and a smirk that exudes arrogance appears on his face, his music then fades out as he gets ready for action.

Nicky: And his opponent

The Titan tron 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 America 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" Arcadia walks into the ring in her black with silver luchadora costume and mask.

Nicky: She is the APW Overdrive Champion, KATRINA OLIVETTI

She looks at the crowd, shrugs lightly and brushes some invisible speck of dirt off of her shoulder. "Are you ready to play the game?" She shouts before every match.

APW OVERDRIVE TITLE MATCH

The pace of the match turns while Carl was on the outside and Katrina goes for a dive to the outside, only to be caught by Carl, who rams her, back first, into the ring post.

Harvey: We could see these two fight at Rasslemania

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

We return from commercial to see an unfamiliar man in the ring with a microphone in hand. He wears a neatly pressed suite; a clean shaven face and his hair neatly trimmed. The man greets the camera with a smile as he lifts the microphone to his lips.

Jesse Gunn: Hello; APW! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jesse Gunn. The owner of the experts. The experts have compiled some of the best world wide promotions to date; and I'm here because I have decided to do business with Hurricane Jeff & Max Carter.

A majority of the fans simply clap; most not understanding the gravity of the situation at hand. Jesse Gunn stopping in the middle of the ring eyes the crowd; before continuing on.

Jesse Gunn: I've had my eye on the APW for sometime. I can see that the APW has talent. The APW has promise. And that's what the experts look for. I have built this interfed from the ground up, and I have sought out some of the greatest wrestlers to ever step in the ring. You APW fans have something special here, and we wanted apart of it.

The fans cheer; and begin to chant ''APW'' and Jesse Gunn lowers the microphone before cracking a wild smile to the crowd. Jesse Gunn was happy to be here knowing that he struck a goldmine in his new partnership.

Jesse Gunn: I look at this roster and I question if we could perhaps see the next....

Suddenly the lights dim down; as the bass kicks into the speaker system. The music is familiar; Put you on game comes to life as the fans begin to boo. Level-One walks out onto the top of the ramp; with the Experts championship slung over his shoulder. Jesse Gunn isn't particularly bothered by his appearance, and in fact cracks a proud smile. Level-One with a microphone in his hand slowly makes his way down the ramp.

Level-One: Leave it me to carry on from here, Gunn. The experts is a whole new ball game then of that of the APW. The experts are the melting pot of everything that is relevant to this sport. The fact is that half of the APW roster fails to notice this championship slung around my shoulder; only attests to their lack of importance. I've busted my ass for this sport; and I have officially put the APW on the map now that they've officially become apart of the experts. And as for your question Gunn? You won't see another True Expert like me, especially not here in the A...P...W.

The fans boo loudly; as Jesse Gunn only eyeballs the fans reaction. Level-One finally reaches ring-side, before slipping under the bottom rope sliding the expert’s championship under first. Level-One grabs the title; as Jesse Gunn folds his arms watching Level-One make himself feel home in his own ring. Picking up his championship he slings it proudly over his shoulder once again.

Level-One: A true expert cares more about the experts; then they do their own federation. Sure, the APW is the best promotion out there today, but nothing compares to what Jesse Gunn has created himself. In the case of the EWC federations no matter how great, how grand, and how much hype they may have; they all crash and burn. But the experts? The history is deeper than the boom of this sport itself. It's ancient to the sport; and it's the most powerful tool in the wrestling industry today, and will be forever. I am proud to call myself the True Expert.

Jesse Gunn lowers his head trying to fight back his wide smile; and to stay humble. Jesse Gunn raises his head; as Level-One extends his hand to Jesse Gunn. Level-One's equation in the brewing situation has the crowd booing; as Jesse Gunn tries to contain them with a hand motion it's clear the owner doesn't want any trouble. Jesse Gunn reaches over and shakes Level-One's hand in return.

Jesse Gunn: You are a big part of the experts, Level-One. And it's a pleasure to have you, and the APW on board.

Level-One and Jesse Gunn share a few words when they are suddenly interrupted. Jesse Gunn simply looks down at the ramp; as Level-One immediately let's go of the handshake. Fugazi's ''Margin walker'' ruthlessly attacks the PA system as Crazy Man comes walking out on the APW stage with a microphone in hand for the first time. Level-One is more than surprised in regards of the situation as he leans over the ropes intently hearing what Crazy Man has to say. All the while hoping for that answer that would set his request in stone.

Crazy Man: Hey, Level! I knew you were here tonight, so I thought I'd just drop in you know... repay the favor? Last week I can actually recall you stalking me half way across the globe just to spill your useless diatribe to an entire promotion that simply didn't care about you.

Crazy Man seems to already be over with the crowd; as they give him a decent sized pop. Level-One grits his teeth; before turning to Jesse Gunn who looks fairly awkward in the situation. Level-One points at Crazy Man; his face twisted in frustration as Jesse Gunn simply shrugs his shoulders doing his best to remain natural. Finally, Level-One breaks the code of silence and lifts the microphone to his mouth.

Level-One: You think your funny, Joel? You have no business here in the APW...

Crazy Man shrugs his shoulders; treating the True Expert with little respect. It was just many of tactics Crazy Man had used on Level-One to push him closer and closer to the edge. It was dangerous move; but it was nothing a crazy man wasn't used too.

Crazy Man: You had no business in the TFWF, Level. Nor did you have any business in Siberian Wrestling, but you decided to show up anyways. And while I haven't received any invitations by you, or even Hurricane Jeff. I have received an invite to be here by Jesse Gunn himself.

Level-One leans off the ropes. As Jesse Gunn's eyes open. Level-One tilts his head to Jesse Gunn; who only shrugs his shoulders in return. He didn't deny it, but didn't necessarily own up to it either. Turning to Jesse Gunn he spoke.

Level-One: Jesse...you invited HIM here?

Jesse Gunn: Well...you know, I thought it would be good promotional wise. I run a business. I need to get our name out there. Let it be known that Crazy Man has promised he wouldn't lay a hand on you. I just want you both to step into the ring each-other, and handle your business like adults.

Level-One's eyes shoot up at Jesse Gunn's response as Crazy Man begins to make his way down to the ring. Level-One throws down his microphone and crouches down low. This doesn't seem to stop Crazy Man who continues to inch closer to the ring, and then finally slipping under the rope. Level-One is ready for a fight; where as Crazy Man simply ignores him; infact turns his back to Level-One.

Crazy Man: Did you hear what he said, Level? We are going to handle our business like adults. This means no cheap shots from behind. I know you’re tempted.

Level-One stops; his face twisted with anger. Crazy Man receives another pop from the crowd; as he finally turns around facing Level-One with a microphone in hand. Level-One steps forward; doing his best not to hit Crazy Man right then and there he simply lifts the microphone to speak.

Level-One: You almost costed me The True Experts championship last night, at HIW's enigma.

Crazy Man eyes the True Experts championship around Level-One's shoulder. Crazy Man looks fairly impressed before reaching over and tapping it on its plate.

Crazy Man: No, I saved you from losing it this Sunday night.

Level-One reaches over and smacks Crazy Man right across the face as the crowd boos. Crazy Man doesn't budge; instead he just cracks a smile.

Level-One: I don't need your fucking help! I'm tired of your mind games. I'm tired of your stupid remarks! And I'm tired of you leeching off my success. You don't know how much self restraint I need just to hold me back from lifting you off this ground and planting your neck onto this canvas.

Jesse Gunn finally slips in between the two doing his best to separate both men. Jesse Gunn manages to contain Level-One telling him that everything is going to work out. Crazy Man having mutual respect towards Jesse Gunn takes a few voluntary steps back.

Jesse Gunn: Look there's no need for you two to fight here right now. I can make this happen. I can work this out for the both of you. For now though, let's not spoil the night. The APW are apart of the experts, and for that we should...

A voice shoots from down the ramp; grabbing a three men's attention.

Legion: ...We should do something about it.

The man known as Legion stands with a microphone in his hand; the expression on his face clearly shows his displeasure with the current situation. Jesse Gunn's eye's slant down in anger as his rival stands not too far across from him.

Legion: Jesse Gunn just can't keep his hands off a new up-coming federation, can he? Jesse, you had your chance with the True Expert and we all watched how that turned out, didn't we? Yet another long living federation to die off while under your wing in the matter of months. Jesse, you killed the EWC like you have many other federations before you. The only reason your here at the APW is because you need a new federation to kill. You don't expect us to stand by and watch it, do you?

Jesse Gunn goes to speak; but surprisingly Crazy Man steps up to take the charge.

Crazy Man: Now I don't know who you are, but I would appreciate it if you would stay out of the EWC's handlings. You don't know a damn thing about that promotion; I loved.

Level-One glances over to Crazy Man and Jesse Gunn goes to speak once again, but this time it's Level-One who interjects turning his attention back to Legion who stands on the top of the ramp.

Level-One: There hasn't been a time in which I have agreed with Crazy Man, until now. How about we start this off by telling me who the hell you are, and what you want?

Jesse Gunn gives up on trying to speak; as Legion can only crack a sly smile as he nods his head in pity.

Legion: Crazy Man, I'm sorry if your still emotionally attached to the dead company Jesse Gunn was responsible for killing with his bare hands. And Level, I am just here out of the well being of the APW. I see great potential in it, and I hate to see it fall into the wrong hands. You know as well as I do what Jesse Gunn is capable of.

Level-One returns to Legion nothing but a blank stare. Jesse Gunn finally having enough lifts the microphone to his mouth.

Jesse Gunn: Level-One is The True Expert, Legion. The APW has decided to do business with experts. I'm sorry the collective slept on the APW, but I'm not to blame...

Legion shakes his head

Legion: Jesse that's the problem with you. You don't have the creative mind to put together something that works. Over the past week messages have been sent to Max Carter; and phone calls have been made to Hurricane Jeff. In fact, the collective have even reached out to Level-One himself. And I thought we had an agreement...

Jesse Gunn looks to Level-One who clenches his teeth and points in the direction of Legion who patiently bides his time on the top of the ramp.

Level-One: ...We had a misunderstanding. And unfortunately, it was on your end.

Legion nods his head not pleased with Level-One's response. Legion looks around at the crowd before simply shaking his head.

Legion: To think you call yourself a leader? You’re going to let the APW fall into the hands of the experts? Or are you willing to do what's right and join us at the collective?

Jesse Gunn interrupts.

Jesse Gunn: It isn't up to him.

Level-One glances over at Jesse Gunn before sharing a few words with each-other. Crazy Man with his hands on his hips simply watches the ongoing situation.

Legion: It's not up to the True Expert? I say if the True Expert want's to join the collective; then it's his choice.

Level-One looks back at Legion and then to Jesse Gunn. Crazy Man watching the situation brewing on, only eggs the situation on my mimicking the title around Level-One's waist. Level-One looks at Crazy Man with disgust as he turns back to Legion.

Level-One: Fuck you, and your offer.

Legion looks on feeling slighted. Legion however remains professional not letting his emotions get the better of him. Legion slowly backs away towards the curtain.

Legion: Well, it looks like the True Expert has spoken...but will we listen? You three; you better watch your backs.

Legion slowly backs away as Level-One goes bezzerk calling Legion back to the ring pulling on the ropes but it has no effect. Jesse Gunn watches Legion as he leaves where Crazy Man slips through the bottom rope and departs through the crowd. Level-One looks to Jesse Gunn as if to ask a question, but Jesse Gunn looks away unable to find the answer. The crowd boo's as Legion disappears from the view of both men, and the scene comes to a fade.
