Overdrive - Des Moines, Iowa (02/16/09)

[President Jeff]

A recap from last week’s War Games match change is shown with Trevor Blackwell and Tabitha Crowley being taken out of the match and Rick Stevens and Streets Wilson being added to the mix. Once that clip ends, the Overdrive intro video plays






The video ends and pyro shoots from the stage. The camera pans through the crowd while fans are holding up their signs then the camera stops on Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase

Chase: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Overdrive!

Harvey: We are 6 days away from Carnage, where the main event match will be War Games.

Chase: But before we get to that event, we have a packed card for you tonight. Especially our main event. Carl Cage, The Overdrive Champion, takes on The Hardcore Kid, the Xtreme Champion.

Harvey: And it just won’t be any match, its going to be a Lumber Jack Match.

Chase: Carnage will unleash here tonight I have a feeling.

Harvey: I agree. But lets get to our first match, The Debut of Dakota, he’s taking on Jamal “Lynch” Jackson


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. He pauses for a moment looking out to the fans, throws a few signs then Blood walks to the ring.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, Jamal “Lynch” Jackson!

Jamal Rolls under the bottom rope, throws a few signs out, and stands awaiting his opponent.

The power-chords of "My Wave" by Soundgarden rock over the speakers, sending a vibration across the arena. When the song kicks into full gear as Cornell's scream strips paint off of the walls, Dakota comes out from the curtains to a bunch of heat. Eating it up, he strolls to the ring as pompous as he can.


Paige: And his opponent, From Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. Making is APW Debut….DAKOTA!

Entering the ring, he climbs up a turnbuckle and performs a signature finger-point taunt. Climbing down, he stands in the ring and patiently awaits the match to start

Dakota Vs Jamal Jackson

The two lock up in the middle of the ring and Lynch uses his power to bring Dakota to the corner. With Dakota in the ropes, the ref counts for a break. 1…2…3..4…. Lynch lets go of Dakota and kick in the gut. Dakota puts Lynch in the corner and starts pummeling him with punches. The ref pulls Dakota out of the corner, but Dakota moves the ref and goes right back to Lynch and chops him. Dakota takes Lynch out of the corner and throws him into the ropes and connects with a Round House Drop Kick and makes the cover.

Winner: Dakota

Chase: Impressive debut here by Dakota

Harvey: A great start to his APW career.

Dakota continues to celebrate and leaves the ring.

Harvey: Don’t forget folks, tonight we have The Hardcore Kid taking on Carl Cage in a Lumber Jack Match.

Chase: Hell will break loose I think.

Lynch is getting up in the ring and Level One makes his way down.

Chase: What’s Level One doing out here.

Before Lynch can do anything. Level One grabs Lynch and hits him with the Level Advance. Level One gets on top and begins punching him in the face and the fans begin to cheer. Level One looks down the Aisle and see’s John Green running out and Level One gets out of the ring.

Harvey: Green, Lynch and Level One are set to meet this Sunday.

Green helps Lynch up and then kicks him and drops him with the head splitter and the fans cheer. Level One and John Green exchange some trash talking as Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air with a recap of the attack on Lynch by Level One and then John Green. Camera’s go to ringside.

Harvey: Welcome back folks. This Sunday, we will see APW’s first ever War Games match. We have Jason Royce, Carl Cage, Streets Wilson and Rick Stevens teaming up to take on Michael Lively, Twister, The Hardcore Kid and an un-named 4th member.

Chase: Who knows who this fourth member can be. Max Carter know’s a lot of people in this business, so you never know who it could be.

Harvey: Who ever it is, I can guarantee can be the difference maker in this kind of match.

Chase: Lets go to our next match as Fyre Angel takes on BDC.

Harvey: A mis match up that is.


Thoughtless by Evanescence hits the PA and Fyre Angel comes out

Paige: Making her way to the ring first, From Dallas Texas, Fyre Angel!

Fyre makes her way down to the ring and waits for her opponent.

Paige: And her opponent

White neon lights flicker throughout the arena and "The Pretender" by the Foo Fighters; blasts from the arena's PA system. The crowd boo loudly as the man, the myth, the legend BDC walks from behind the curtain and stands at the top of the ramp.

Paige: Weighing in at 310 pounds. B….D….C!

BDC begins making his way to the ring and out of no where, BDC is attack from behind by the APW Tag Team Champions, Streets Wilson and Rick Stevens.

Chase: What are they doing out here? BDC has a match to wrestle.

BDC gets knocked down and is on all fours when Streets kicks BDC in the rips, sending him rolling down the entrance ramp. Now at ringside, BDC is down and The tag champs both each grab an arm, lifts the big man up and throws him into the ring steps. BDC hit it shoulder first and the steps go flying.

Harvey: The Tag champs are really taking it to BDC here.

Rick takes the steps and holds them up as Streets lifts BDC up and throws him in Ricks direction and BDC eats a face full of ring steps. Rick drops the steps and the tag champs taunt the crowd and BDC is now busted open.

They roll BDC into the ring and get into the ring. Fyre Angel is still in the ring. The Tag Champs see her and start closing in on her. Fyre for after Rick with a kick, but Rick catches it and Streets takes Fyre’s head off with a massive clothesline. Fyre gets nudged out of the ring.

Chase: These guys need to be stopped.

Blood dripping from BDC’s head, Streets lifts him up and sets him up for his finisher, The Vicious DDT. Before he can hit the move, BDC’s friend and Partner, Link hits the ring.

Harvey: Things just got a little evened up.

Link slides in and takes Rick down with a spear. Streets pushes BDC to the mat and then gets a spear from Link. Link gets up and goes over to Rick who’s in the corner getting up. Link starts kicking him and Streets comes running behind Link, but Link moves and Streets crushes Rick in the corner.

Chase: The Tag champs aren’t doing so well now.

Harvey: Looks like BDC Vs Fyre Angel isn’t going to happen.

Chase: Maybe its for the best, the size difference alone between BDC and Fyre is a total mis match

Link Throws Streets to the opposite corner and BDC gets up and starts laying in elbow shots to Street’s face. Link chops Rick and Retribution Inc, together throw the tag champs into each other. The champs bounce off each other and turn. BDC then gives Streets a big boot to the face, while Link gives Rick the super kick.

Harvey: This could be what could happen at Carnage

Link slides out of the ring and look under the ring and pulls out a table. Link slides the table into the ring and BDC sets it up. Link gets back into the ring and takes Streets and tosses him out of the ring. The table is set up in the middle of the ring. BDC goes to pick Rick up, but Rick begins fighting back, but that’s put to an end when Link gets involved and they beat Rick down to the mat. BDC again, lifts Rick Up and picks him up for the Black Out. Streets slides back into the ring with a chair and nails Link in the back with it and he goes down. With BDC about to put Rick through the table with the Black Out, Streets goes behind BDC, passes the chair up to Rick who quickly bounces it off the bloody face of BDC. BDC falls backwards with Rick falling on his chest.

Chase: The tag champs aren’t backing down.

Streets and Rick both moves the table near the corner. As their making sure the table is in the right spot, Link is back up and grabs the chair and jabs it in Ricks Stomach and hits Streets in the head with it, that sends him in the corner. Link then swings the chair at Rick again and gets him in the back of the head, which makes Rick fall on the table. Link goes over to the corner and lifts Streets up on the ropes. Link climbs up and looks back down at Rick on the table and bends Streets over,

Chase: No way, he’s gonna do the Missing Link off the top rope and put both Streets and Rick through the table.

Harvey: This guy is crazy!

Just as Link is about to do the move, Rick is off the table and low blows Link from behind. Rick gets Link out of the corner with Link sitting on his shoulders. Rick backs away from the corner and Streets stands on the top rope and jumps off, and catches Link with a LOD style Dooms Day Device clothesline. Link flips backwards off Rick’s shoulder and crashes right thought the table and a holy shit chant starts and a “That was awesome” chant starts as well.

Harvey: I can’t believe what I just saw.

BDC is getting up and both Rick and Streets goes over, both grab his head and drive it down to the mat with a double DDT. Retribution Inc lays motionless as Streets Wilson Music hits and the Tag Champs raise their arms in the air.

Chase: These two teams meet this Sunday at Carange. And if what we just saw here is any indicator of whats in store this Sunday, then we’re in for one hell of a fight.

Harvey: These two teams don’t just not like each other. They hate each other. And with Streets and Rick scheduled to also be in the War Games match, one can only assume that the tag champ will be in no shape to wrestle in war games.

The tag champs continue to celebrate as Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back from commercial with a clip of the brawl that The Tag champs had with Retribution Inc.

Chase: Lets go to our next match and hope it doesn’t get interrupted.

“Scars” by Papa Roach hits the PA and Jason Royce comes out to the ring

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, The Legacy, Jason Royce!

Royce makes his way down to the ring, slides in and waits for his opponent.

Put You On Game- By Lupe Fiasco blasts the PA system, as Level-One steps up on-top of the ramp. Red smoke swirls beneath him, and a string of red and blue pyro shoots up into the air he raises both of his titles high in the air.

Paige: From Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 262 pounds, he is the current True Experts world champion...Level-One!!!

Level-One puts his title on his shoulder and slowly begins to walk down the ramp, being booed loudly by the crowd. Level-One stops before eyeing down a fan, mocking the fan in the process. Level-One turns, and climbs up onto the apron. Level One steps through the ropes entering the ring. Jason Royce sprints across the ring punching him in the head to gain an advantage.

Level One Vs Jason Royce


The ref calls for the bell and Level One stiff arms Royce to the ground, giving him time to get into the ring fully. As Jason comes back toward Level One, he drills him with a solid right, then swoops in side ways with an elbow. He stumbles back rolling to the ground. He moves in grabbing Jason by the hair and hoists him into the air with a double hand choke and slams him down to the mat.

Chase: I don’t think Level One appreciated the attack before the bell.

Royce arches up in pain, and Level One drops an elbow in his sternum. He then hooks a leg for the cover.

Level One then hikes a knee upward nailing the side of Jason’s head. He then grabs him by the waist, flips him over like a power bomb releasing him into the air, then violently swing a clothesline at his head, taking him into the ground like a car crash victim. He drops down driving a knee into Jason’s back. He grabs his chin and legs bow and arrowing his body backward. With an evil grin on his face he offers up some pain.

Chase: Level One is really taking it to Royce.

Jason Royce winces in pain with each jerking by the Level One. He then releases it and hoists him upright. With a fast snap he gets Irish whipped into the ropes. He lifts a big boot toward Jason’s head, and he drops down, drop kicking the leg planted. Level One buckles over to the ground. Royce then smashes an axe handle into the head of Level One.

He then scoots back a bit, stretches back for the ropes. The ref breaks up the hold and Level One rolls out of the ring.

Chase: Looks like Level One needs a break.

Harvey: Yeah, controlling the pace is a smart thing for a wrestler.

Winner: Level One

Level One celebrates his victory as Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air and we’re backstage in The Hired Gunz Lock room where Lively, Twister, Hardcore Kid and Max Carter are all in.

Max: In a few minutes, Lively, your fighting John Green. Kid, your fighting Carl in a lumber jack match. Tonight is important, because winning those two matches, gives us the advantage going into Carnage.

THK: Don’t worry about me, Carl is a walk in the park.

Lively: I’m the World Champ, you can always count on me.

Twister: What about that fourth member.

Max: I just got off the phone with him and he’s on his way. He’ll be here tonight!

Lively: Good, cause after what Streets and Rick did to BDC and Link earlier, we’re gonna need that fourth member.

Everyone nods as we go back to ringside

Chase: The Forth Member will be here tonight!

Harvey: I can’t wait to find out who it is.

Chase: Let go to the ring for our next match.

John Green Vs Michael Lively

"King Nothing" by Metallica blasts through the P.A. system and the crowd hits their feet as they await for The Retribution Killer.

Paige: The following contest is a non title match up scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, JOHN GREEN!!

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 smiles as he stands in front of the entrance ramp and does his trademarked "Retribution" pose and sparks and fireworks shoot into the air immediately. He then makes his way down the ramp way lifting his arms in the air in a cocky manor. The World Champion Michael Lively then appears from the curtain and drop kicks Green in the back of head. John falls forward and rolls down the ramp. Lively then drives a few stiff boots to the mid section of Green, then nabs him by his hair dragging him toward the ring, then rolls him into the ring. The JESUS jumps up to the apron, leap frogs over the top rope dropping a leg across the head of Green. Lively then hooks a leg for the pin.

Kickout by Green

Harvey: That’s wishful thinking by the Champ there.

Chase: Yeah, I mean a multiple champion like Green is a gamer, and will take way more punishment then that before sub coming to the three count.


Michael then locks in a head lock wrenching on it. Green struggles to his feet, drives an elbow in Lively's stomach. The world champ gasps for air, and loosens his grip giving Green a chance to get free from the head lock. John does and sends Michael toward the corner with an irish whip. The Hottest Shit Going nails his back against the turn buckles, and bounces off toward Green. The Retribution Killer catches him, pops his hips and flings the man up and over with a belly to belly suplex. Lively gets up grabbing at his back in pain. Green charges over with a running high knee to the face sending the White Lion toward the ground outside the ring. Lively tries to catch a breath as Green heads toward the other turn buckle climbing up to pose for the crowd.

Chase: Green taking the match into his control after that sneak attack from Lively.

Harvey: You say sneak attack, I say strategy.

Green gets down, and slides out of the ring after the self proclaimed JESUS. Lively quickly rolls back into the ring. He drives a knee or two into the side of Green's heads as he tried to re enter the ring. Lively continues his assault with hammer fists, and axe handle smashes. Michael drags Green to his feet then chops him right across the chest. He then grabs him by the hair and sends him through the ropes to the outside of the ring crashing into the guard railing. Lively soon follows the man out, who has now begun to walk away, Michael charges with a few smashes to the back of the head staggering Green some more. He is turned around and whipped into the guard rail violently. Lively slides into the ring to stop the refs count, then rolls back out to the floor.

Chase: There's some ring smarts, stopping the count.

Harvey: Told you, he's like a genius.

Green gets to his feet breathing deeply, as Lively jaws with some fans. He points toward Green then hauls ass toward him. He catches swift back body drop over the guard rail to the floor. The JESUS rolls around for a second in pain then gets to his feet. He grasps the rail as Green smashes his face a few times with fist. Green then drapes and arm over and suplex his opponent back over the rail. Michael arches his back in agony with whimpers of pain. He is then brought to his feet, and rolled into the ring.

Green slowly follows him in by climbing up the apron, and goes between the ropes to enter. Lively quickly runs over kicking the middle rope upward driving it into the mans crotch. He is stunned, and Lively mashes a few punch on Greens head then drags him in whipping him to the corner. He follows him in with a leaping clothesline. He then clutches his head and runs out with a running bulldog. Michael then goes for a pin.

Winner: Michael Lively[/center]

Lively celebrates in the ring as Overdrive goes to its final commercial.

[President Jeff]

Put You On Game- By Lupe Fiasco blasts the PA system, as Level-One steps up on-top of the ramp. Red smoke swirls beneath him, and a string of red and blue pyro shoots up into the air he raises the True Experts Championship in the air.

Harvey: Well, here comes Level-One once again. He’s made a few appearances out here tonight.

Chase: With an attack on Lynch earlier in the night by the assist of John Green, it’s as if Level-One is doing his best to clear the path of any obstacles he may face to get where he wants.

Level-One slings the Experts championship over his shoulder; the strap hanging over his back every so helplessly. Slowly and methodically he stalks his way down to the ring, with a microphone gripped tightly in his hands. Rolling under the bottom rope; Level-One on his knees quickly springs up, raising his hands in the air, soaking in the enormous boos he receives from the APW fans.

Harvey: Level-One is nothing but a troublemaker. He’s brought outside influences here to the APW!

Chase: That only makes things more exciting, Harvey. We have the number ranked wrestler in the world on our show, you can’t expect him NOT to be targeted.

With his eyes locked into the crowd he can’t help but flash a smile. This is what he had expected from the crowd on nightly biases. The hate. The passion. They’d hang him if they could get their hands on him and he flaunted his start status in their faces only to mock them. They wanted to be where he was and he loved having that power over them, and like a bully he used it to muscle them around.

Level-One: Tonight; I have taken it upon myself to remove and cleanse this federation of ANY filth that is plagued with. Rasslemania 5 is just a few months away, and I must make it my duty to make sure that not only I, but the federation as a whole, APW as one entity, walks into the event in its best shape possible.

The crowd quiets down; waiting for what he had to say afterwards. Like a mastermind however; he plans his attack in advance. He doesn't give them what they want right away; instead he lowers the microphone, in a mockery of the crowd. The boos begin to pick up, only then does he decide to continue on.

Level-One: I see great potential in the APW. Jesse Gunn, himself sees great potential in the APW. However, you fans. You aren't witnessing this potential. You aren't seeing it, because other people fail to show it. I'm here. I'm here to issue an entire wake up call to every single person on this roster, who decides it's best if they slept in. I have a reputation to uphold, and I don't need it tarnished, because people around me can't bring their best on a weekly basis.

You think I was going to sit by and watch Lynch get a pay-per-view match with Level-One himself? I'm above him. Hell, I'm above John Green. However, as pathetic as John Green is at least he's done something. At least sometime during his stint in the APW he has proven himself, despite how sick to my stomach it makes me to know; he has been a world champion around here.

So, I and John Green came to a consensus. That consensus being that I take out Lynch based on the fact; I don't need anyone fucking up my chances of winning because they dropped the ball with their own shortcomings. John Green accepted this notion, simply because he had one less person to worry about. And so, for 2 minutes, we came together, and eliminated someone in which I saw as useless, and what John Green saw as a threat. screw throwing rocks; killing two birds is simply better than killing one.

The fans cut follow up their boos with ''Level-One sucks'' chants. In return he could only display a smile. He never once came to the fans on their opinions on him, not only did they not matter to him, but he deemed their opinions useless. They were fickle. Their opinions changed day by day, it only seemed like yesterday when they were chanting his name.

Level-One: So, that brings us to Carnage scheduled for this Sunday. John Green; I have OTHER plans for Carnage, that simply does not involve you. So what I'm telling you is this, you have a choice. You can come out here right now, and let's settle our business like men and on our own terms...or...I can come backstage and drag you out, blooded, beaten, and swollen. It's your choice, choose wisely.

Harvey: Other plans? What other plans is Level-One talking about?

Chase: I don't know, but someone had made his way out here, and it isn't John Green.

Level-One's eyes expand as GM Max Carter makes his way through the curtain microphone in hand. It's clear that Max Carter has his own agenda, and it's just as transparent that Level-One isn't about to roll over and take any of it, as he clenches his teeth in frustration. Max Carter points at Level-One before cracking a smile.

Max Carter: Level, you don't call the shots around here. I do! This means, you will not get your hands on John Green tonight.

This seem's to hold Level-One back at bay, as the crowd pops at the situation. Level-One seemingly comes down, as he rethinks the situation. It wasn't worth losing his shot and he knew it, he could only stand in the ring and watch as Max Carter played marshal law.

Max Carter: It has come to my attention Level-One that you have issued a viral threat on the internet; against a women named ''Lily LaVoy''?

Level-One looks at Max Carter in confusion, before nodding his head in protest. Max Carter however shakes his head in displeasure. The APW had an image to uphold, and he would make sure it was shown to the world.

Max Carter: Level, police are currently investigating the situation at hand. Let it be known that my sources tell me you had something to do with this. A viral bounty was put on this poor women's head. And with this, I issue a second threat. Should it be determined that you are behind this threat; I will FIRE you from the APW.

The crowd erupts in a loud burst of pleasure; as Level-One paces around the ring shouting as if he had nothing to do with it. Level-One lifting the microphone to his mouth told the crowd to ''shut up'' and when the didn't listen he told them again ''shut up'' but to no avail. Focusing his anger on Max Carter he leans over the ropes.

Level-One: Max Carter. I don't know what you’re trying to pull here, but I have nothing to do with this incident. You have no right, nor say in this matter. Let me tell you that if...

Suddenly the lights begin to pulsate rapidly, almost in a seizure like fashion. Max Carter on the ramp quickly falls to the ground as Level-One simply backs up eventually standing in the middle of the ring. A laugh his heard blasting through the PA system, and then the APW Ti-Tron is turned on. White noise is heard from the screen; the image is blurred like a channel that doesn't exist on table television.

Harvey: ...What the hell is going on here, chase?

Chase: I don't know. I can't see a thing. One thing for sure though; Max Carter has just upped the ante here on Level-One's behavior.

...And then the Ti-tron fades to black. The following words are typed along the screen; the click of the keys blasting through the APW speaker systems for all to hear.

Name: Lily LaVoy
...
Date of birth: May 31st 1984
...
Country: U.S.A.
...

...
Street address: 154 Grant Ave, Barberton
...
Phone number: [phone]
...

These words appear across the screen and then; a picture followed up by a simple message.



''...We're coming''

The screen the fades to black and the lights slowly come back on. Level-One stares at Max Carter helplessly, almost pleading with the general manager. Max Carter returns a blank stare towards Level-One before slowly backing up the ramp, knowing the volume of the situation.

Max Carter: ...If you’re behind this, you're done.

Max Carter turns and walks through the curtain; as the crowd boos Level-One louder than ever. With his hands on his lips, he stares at the crowd with resentment. While his eyes didn't show the look of guilt, they was a flame set within them that didn't prove his innocence either; he simply stood in them middle of the ring taking the crowds abuse showing no signs of being deterred.

Harvey: What the hell is going on here?

Chase: Level-One is in a sticky situation. Some had issued a bounty on Crazy Man's girlfriend Lily LaVoy, and now Level-One is expected to be behind it.

Harvey: If Level-One is behind this; he may have just ruined the biggest shot of his career and his future in the APW!

Chase: It's time for a commercial break.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back on the air

Harvey: Well folks, we’re just a few minutes away from our main event.

Chase: Before we do, lets run down the Carnage Card.

Harvey: The APW Tag team titles are on the line when Streets Wilson and Rick Stevens take on BDC and Link

Chase: Fyre Angel and Dakota will face off one on one.

Harvey: As we heard earlier, Level One and John Green will square off one on one. This has been a different John Green since he returned. Level One will have his hands full with this one.

Chase: And our main event, the first ever APW War Games. Michael Lively, Twister, The Hardcore Kid and a mystery forth member taking on Jason Royce, Carl Cage, Streets Wilson and Rick Stevens.

Harvey: With the Lumber Jack match coming up, things are about to get heated.


The lumber jacks begin making their way down to the ring. One side of the ring is Twister and Lively. On the opposite side is Jason Royce, Streets Wilson and Rick Stevens. On another side is Link, BDC and Level One and on that opposite side is Fyre Angel, Dakota and John Green.

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

Paige: The following contest is the Lumber Jack match and is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, the Overdrive Champion, Carl Cage!

Cage lowers his arms. Then makes his way down to the ring gesturing and back chatting the crowd as they are shouting abuse to the crowd who are booing them. 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.

“Iron Man” By Black Sabbath hits the PA and the Hardcore Kid comes out with the Xtreme Title over his shoulder.

Paige: And his opponent, he is the Xtreme Champion, The Hard….Core…..KID!

The Kid stands on top of the stage and then drops his title and runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. HE gets up and he and Carl start exchanging punches as the bell rings to start this match.

LUMBER JACK MATCH
The Hardcore Kid Vs Carl Cage

With punches being exchanged, Carl uses his size and strength and is able to knock the Kid down with a punch. He lifts the Kid up by the hair and hip tosses him across the ring by his hair. The Kid holds his head as Carl goes over to the Kid, lifts him up and shoves him in the corner.

Harvey: Its going to be a matter of time before one of these two get thrown to the wolves.

Carl kicks The Hardcore Kid in the corner then throws him to the opposite corner as hard as he can. The Kid hits the corner with his back, and the impact sends the kid face first to the mat.

Chase: Amazing strength by Carl Cage.

Carl picks the Kid up and lifts him over his head in a military press. Carl walks around the ring with the Kid, showing off his strength and then goes over to the side of the ring where Twister and Lively are standing and tosses the Kid over the top rope and onto the former tag champs, but they catch the Kid and put him on the ring apron. Carl goes over and the Kid spears Carl through the ropes. Carl stumbles back and The Kid springboards off the ropes with a spinning heel kick, taking the big man down and the Kid covers.

Harvey: Its for fourth member. Who is he?!

The masked man waits for Carl to get up, he does and picks Carl up and slams him down with the Alabama slam.

Chase: It can’t be, there’s only one man who does that move!

The man takes off his mask and it
