Overdrive - Manchester, New Hampshire (07/29/09

[President Jeff]

Clips from Last week’s overdrive is shown before the opening video plays



We go inside the arena where Security is surrounding the ring and Nicky Paige is standing in the middle of the ring

Chase: Welcome everyone to Wednesday Night Overdrive.

Harvey: We’re not wasting any time tonight. We’re kicking things off with a match between Streets Wilson and President Jeff. Security is already at ringside as ordered by President Jeff to keep Michael Lively from getting involved.

The camera goes to the ring where Nicky Paige is standing

Paige: The opening contest is scheduled for one fall.

Streets Wilson emerges from behind the curtain smiling widely, spinning a switchblade in his hand as he does so. Small children in the front row are petrified, their parents desperately trying to console them.

Paige: Introducing first, from Stamford, Connecticut, weighing in at 267 pounds, Streets Wilson

Streets pompously struts past the rabid screaming fans. As he steps into the ring he forms an "S" shape with his hands towards the crowd and then removes his trademark fedora from his head, places his blade inside it and places it in his corner of the ring.

Chase: At Test for the Best, Streets Wilson turning on President Jeff who he was body guarding and joined forced with Michael Lively. Now Jeff looks for revenge tonight.

“Raining Blood” by Slayer hit’s the PA System and out comes President Jeff and the fans jump to their feet in cheers.

Paige: And his opponent, from Toronto Ontario Canada. Weighing in at 230 pounds. He is the Owner of APW. President, Hurricane….JEFF!

Jeff walks down the ramp, keeping his eyes on Streets. He stops right before the ring and just stares at Streets. Jeff then slides into the ring and goes right after Streets and takes him down with a double leg take down and the ref calls for the bell

Streets Wilson Vs “President” Hurricane Jeff


With Jeff on top of Streets, Jeff lays in the punches and Streets covers his head as the ref gets Jeff off, giving Streets a chance to get up. Streets gets up near the corner and Jeff moves the ref out of the way and start kicking Streets in the corner and then chops him. Jeff takes Streets and throws him off into the ropes and Streets reverses it and puts his head down, but Jeff comes back countering with a Hurricane DDT! Jeff doesn’t bother going for a cover and stomps on Streets before picking him up, brings him to the corner and begins spearing him in the corner before delivering a snap suplex. Jeff then drops giving Streets Knee drops to the face.

Chase: I don’t think Jeff cares about winning this match, he just wants to hurt Streets.

Jeff pulls Streets up and hits 2 European uppercuts that puts Streets into the corner and then throws him to the opposite corner. Jeff charges at Streets, but Streets gets his foot up into Jeff’s face and runs out, taking Jeff’s head off with a massive clothesline. Streets gets on top of Jeff and punches Jeff in the head a bunch of times before pulls him up and gives him a hammerlock body slam. Jeff holds his arm and Streets pulls him up and takes him back down with a short arm clothesline. Streets then does a standing backflip, and lands with his knees in Jeff’s face and then puts his hand on Jeff’s throat and begins choking him and the ref counts. 1...2...3..4.… Streets lefts go before getting disqualified.

Harvey: Streets needs to keep on Jeff if he wants to win. One mistake and it could cost him

Streets picks Jeff up in a power slam position, runs and rams Jeff into the corner and hooks him into the Tree of Woe. With Jeff trapped upside down, Streets kicks Jeff in the chest and then backs up, runs for a spear, but Jeff pulls himself up and Streets spears the turnbuckle. Jeff unhooks his legs and rolls backwards off the top rope and rolls Streets up.

Kick Out.

Streets picks Jeff up and goes for a choke slam, but Jeff elbows out of it. As Streets stumbles around, Jeff picks him up for the HurraDriver, but Street fights out of it and clubs Jeff in the back a few times and lifts him up for a power bomb, but Jeff counters by landing in his feet. Jeff goes for the HurraKick, but Streets ducks it and takes Jeff down with Jumping Spinning Round House Kick. Streets signals for the end. He grabs Jeff for the Dangerous DDT, but Jeff counters by spearing Streets into the corner. Jeff throws Streets to the opposite corner and runs at him, but Streets pulls the ref in front of him at the last second, and he gets sandwiched between Jeff and Streets. The ref fall and Streets goes for a clothesline, but Jeff ducks it and then counters by hitting the Eye of the Hurricane (Diamond Cutter) on Streets and makes the cover, but the ref is out.

Chase: Lets get another ref out here!

Jeff shakes the ref trying to wake him up, but with not much luck. Jeff yells out “Spanish Fly” and picks Streets up and puts him in the corner. Jeff lifts Streets up on the top rope and goes to climb up, but out of no where, the camera man on the ring apron nails Jeff in the head with his camera.

Harvey: The hell is going on!

Jeff is down holding his head and the camera man drops the camera, takes his hat off

Chase: ITS MICHAEL LIVELY

Lively gets into the ring and security see’s lively and they all rush the ring. Lively and Streets clear out all the security, leaving Jeff alone in the ring. Lively and Streets stomp on Jeff and the ref is up and calls for the bell

Winner by DQ: “President” Hurricane Jeff

Lively picks Jeff up and Streets grabs Jeff and nails Jeff with his new finishing move, The Mediterranean Spike. Jeff is knocked out cold as Lively jumps out of the ring grabbing a microphone from the timekeepers table. Lively rolls back into the ring and then hovers over the downed President Jeff. The crowd still buzzing and boo'ing from the actions of Michael Lively. The self proclaimed savior of wrestling gets off of all fours and then crowches down. He takes the microphone holding it to the side of his face as his eyes glare down upon Jeff's unconscious body like a snake would a small rat.

Lively: Jeff...this whole thing is humorous. It's so fitting that the unbeaten got beaten by ME. It's so poetic that tonight I fight a man named Zero. That the same chances you have from keeping me out of APW. That’s the chances you have of getting rid of the JESUS. Jeffy boy...this whole thing isn't going away, and you know that. You know I'm not leaving, I won't disappear. That's the reason you keep sending people at me. Later on tonight Jeffers, when yet another man has fallen at my feet, yet another attempt to break the JESUS fails; you may come to a realization. I hope it slaps you in the face like a woman upset that she has just been fooled into thinking you came on her back, only to turn around and catch a face full of special sauce. You want something done right, maybe it's time you do it yourself. Maybe that’s the only chance you have, maybe there’s your shimmer of hope...the Hall of Famer Hurricane Jeff, President of APW takes on the Hottest Shit Going, Your JESUS Michael Lively. Something never done before, a match up that has never taken place. Two huge names in the business meet face to face...with everything on the line!

Lively then stands up to finish his rant.

Lively: I win Jeff...and I get my contract renewed. Jeff...if you win then a magic Gennie will grant you and everyone one of these ignorant, fat, out of shape, brain dead, homsexual fans wish...the disappearance of Michael Lively.

The fans explode with cheers making the roof of the arena quiver from the noise pollution. The fans may actually get their wish and no longer have to stomach Michael Lively or his rederect.

Lively then strikes a JESUS pose turning those cheers quickly into a chorus of boo's. His hand drops the mic to the canvass as the Hottest Shit Going then drops down into the face of Jeff.

Chase: It's funny that he made a challenge to an unconscious man.

Harvey: Yeah...he may be scarred he would have accepted.

Chase: and if Jeff had, there is a chance that LIvely's game could come to a brutal and violent end.

Harvey: That would be the day...no more Lively!!!

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

The overdrive logo fades backstage; with Cindy wielding a microphone in her hands. The crowd immediately opens up with a loud barrage of boos, not because of the pretty experienced interviewer on screen but the man that stood beside her. Accompanied by both the True expert and APW world championships on his left and right shoulders; he couldn’t help but smirk. Cindy bit her lip, as she opened the show with an interview.

‘’This evening, we have a special guest’’ Cindy delivers somberly, before looking nervously over her shoulder. ‘’The two time APW world heavyweight champion…Level-One’’ Cindy says resulting in Level-One’s smile growing across his face, cheek to cheek.

‘’Now let’s get on with the interview’’ Level-One replies his smile quickly draining from his face. Cindy takes a step away from Level-One with a subtle movement in order to space herself from the threatening Canadian.

‘’As we all know Level-One, at Test for the best Jesse Nunez won a tournament to determine himself the new number 1 contender to the APW world championship. What is your opinion on this match up?’’ Cindy inquires. Level-One looks up at Cindy, who quickly diverts her attention in the other direction. Level-One grabs her hand lifting the microphone to his mouth.

‘’Well Candy, Jesse Nunez may have won that contendership tournament—but it was solely based off pure luck! Unfortunately, Jesse Nunez fails to understand that this title isn’t won based on luck. I looked at my calendar and it doesn’t look like I’ll have an off day come our match’’ Level-One says pausing shortly. ‘’The question is though is what makes you all think that Jesse Nunez will MAKE it to shockwave? What makes you think because Jesse Nunez won some measly tournament that justifies him stepping into the ring with me come shockwave?’’

Cindy slowly removes the microphone from Level-One’s mouth breaking loose from his grips. She flicks her hair back, addressing his statement with an after thought. ‘’Level-One, Jesse Nunez won the tournament he is guaranteed a title shot…’’

‘’There are no guarantees!’’ Level-One blasted back, while Cindy squints. ‘’This is the APW; you aren’t handed anything when your in the main-event picture, well…unless your Pence’’ Level-One said falling off his thought trail, before regaining focus. ‘’The point is nothing in this business is for sure. There is no such thing as a guarantee. As far as I’m concerned there’s at least one person in the APW who can decide to strip Jesse Nunez from the stipulation he had cheated to win’’

‘’Are you afraid of Jesse Nunez?’’ Cindy slipped up on the question, as she recoiled in fear. Level-One merely snarled at the comment.

‘’Candy, why in the world would I be afraid of Jesse Nunez of all people? Jesse Nunez is a JOKE and I rather beat Pence ten times over then have to sit through carrying Nunez to a half decent match’’ Level-One stated with half interest. ‘’I am hereby exercising a motion to have Jesse Nunez stripped of his title opportunity, for being ungratefully unqualified of stepping in the ring with a man of my stature. There is no reason why I should be held DOWN while standing on the top tier of this company’’

‘’But he earned…’’ Level-One closed his eyes in frustration holding the lips of Cindy’s mouth shut. Pulling her close to his face with his hand gripped around her cheek, he delivered his rebuttal.

‘’Candy, I’m a reasonable man. I am giving Jesse Nunez a chance to explain himself. Next week, I’m going to give Jesse Nunez an interview of his own. I am going to ask him 10 questions, 10 questions in which he will have to explain and confront his placement in the main-event picture of the APW. There is nobody better to show Jesse Nunez isn’t worthy of his spot in the APW; better then Jesse Nunez himself’’

Level-One shoves Cindy back, releasing her from his grips, as she grabs her cheek in pain, staring up at Level-One with resentment present in her eyes.

‘’I’m going to give Jesse Nunez his shovel and he’s going to dig his own grave’’ Level-One states sharply; staring at Cindy Shannon blankly. ‘’Now do you understand that Candy?’’ Level-One asks, as Cindy drops her hands and returns a humble look towards the APW world champion.

‘’My name is…my name is…my name is Cindy’’

Level-One turns around and merely shrugs his shoulders.

‘’Whatever’’

The scene fades to a backstage area

Max Carter is at the door of his office, and an unknown wrestler walks up to him. He is about 6 feet, 5 inches tall, and looks to be about 255 pounds. Clad in a red and yellow singlet with short brown hair, he extends his hand to Max Carter.

Wrestler: Howdy, Mr. Carter, I'm Samson Thourgood. I'd like a chance to become an APW wrestler!

Carter: Now I'm all for giving young, up and coming wrestlers a chance, but as the GM of Overdrive, I'm not in charge of talent relations. How about I give you a tryout match, and if you impress the talent relations department enough, who knows, you might just get yourself a job. Head on out to the ring, and I'll send an opponent out to face you!

Samson: Golly gee thank you kindly, Mr. Carter! I won't disappoint you!

Samson Thourgood walks towards the gorilla position as Carter shakes his head, and goes into his office. APW goes to a commercial break.

[President Jeff]

APW Overdrive comes back from a commercial break with Samson Thourgood standing in the ring with a huge grin on his face.

Harvey: Welcome back to APW Overdrive, folks, in the ring is a young man by the name of Samson Thourgood, who's getting a tryout match tonight on Overdrive! Let's find out who his opponent is!

Dimmu Borgir's “For the World to Dictate Our Death” begins to play as the arena lights fade to a dim red. After the line “We are gathered here in front of the anti-Christ,” a huge wall of flame erupts from stage! The Beast walks through the flames, and as the flames die down, Biggs joins him on the stage.

Nicky Paige: Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 425 pounds, The Beast! And already in the ring, his opponent, weighing in at 255 pounds, from Boston, Massachusetts Samson Thourgood!

Chase: It's The Beast! Samson Thourgood's opponent tonight is The Beast!

Harvey: Suddenly, I don't like Thourgood's chances!

The Beast slowly walks down the ramp as Biggs taunts the fans. The Beast steps up onto the apron, and then steps over the ropes to enter the ring. Biggs walks over the announce table, and sits next to Johnny Chase, placing a headset on as he sits.

Chase: Welcome to the broadcast table, Biggs! It's a pleasure to have you!

Biggs: Thanks for having me, but I'm pretty sure that your broadcast partner doesn't agree with you!

Harvey: You're darn right! I can't stand you, you slimy little weasel!

Biggs: To each his own, but how about the fact that we get a chance to see The Beast in action tonight!? Doesn't that rock!

Samson has a worried look on his face as the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Samson Thourgood vs. The Beast

The Beast goes right in and wraps both hands around the throat of Samson Thourgood, and tosses him down to the mat! The Beast follows up by rolling Samson onto his belly, grabs a hold of his arms into an almost Surfboard like position, pulling back on Samson's arms! The Beast then places his foot on the back of Samson's head, and stomps down with all his might to deliver a crushing Curb Stomp!

Harvey: What a brutal maneuver from The Beast! Samson is no small man, but The Beast is utterly manhandling him so far!

Biggs: Oh yeah! There's a reason I brought The Beast to APW to send a message to Shadow! Level-One is lucky that I have asked The Beast and Chris Cyrus to stay in the back during our match tonight!

Chase: Good luck in that match, by the way! I'll be rooting for you!

Harvey: Oh come on! Quit kissing his butt!

Back in the ring, The Beast has pulled the limp body of Samson up, and props him in the corner! The Beast grabs a hold of the top rope, and places his boot right in the throat of his opponent! The ref starts the mandatory five count, and The Beast relinquishes on four! As Samson stumbles out of the corner, The Beast gets both hands around the throat of Samson Thourgood, and lifts him up to deliver a Two-Handed Falling Choke Bomb! The crowd winces upon the impact of the move, but rather than going for the cover, The Beast gets back up to his feet, pulls Samson back up, and grabs him from behind in a Sleeper Hold, lifting Samson's feet off the mat! The ref doesn't even check Samson's arm before calling for the bell! DING! DING! DING!

Winner: The Beast

Paige: Here is your winner, due to referee stoppage, The Beast!

Biggs removes the headset, and slides into the ring to congratulate his partner on his victory!

Chase: I don't think that we'll be seeing Samson Thourgood in APW ever again!

Harvey: He didn't stand a chance against The Beast!

Biggs holds The Beast back from inflicting more punishment on Samson, and the ref helps the fallen competitor leave the ring. Biggs grabs a mic, and begins to speak.

Biggs: Shadow, you have yet to respond to my challenge, and just like I said I would last week, I am ready to send The Beast backstage to find you and take you out!

At this point, Alterbridge’s Metalingus hits, Shadow steps out from behind the curtain holding his ribs as he stands at the top of the ramp. Shadow does not make his way down the ramp though he stands there with a microphone in his other hand. His trench coat and sunglasses cover him as Shadow just glares down the ramp at his attackers from last week. The Overdrive championship draped across his shoulder shines in the spotlight.

Shadow: Biggs, you little piss-ant. Why do you think I have not accepted your challenge? Do you think its fear? No, its not, its because it kills you not getting what you want. You sit there in the back whining and moaning about how you want this title shot, how you deserve this title. Shut up. It’s pathetic. No, but you know what you do deserve a straight up ass kicking. And while you have your match tonight and I was told by Max and Jeff both to take the night off I think I should just come down there now and show you exactly who the Beast really is.

Shadow starts to take off his coat and sets the title down on it. He begins to walk down the ramp as a huge grin forms on the face of Biggs. He wants Shadow to get in the ring he will be able to finish off the big man. The Beast stands there waiting to get his hand on Shadow again when suddenly “The Way You Like It!” begins to play and everyone stops as the roaring cheers from the fans fill the arena. Slade Craven walks out from backstage ready to fight, his match with Joey Martinez still to come tonight. He stands at the top of the ramp looking at Shadow’s gear that leaves a trail of bread crumbs to the big man who stands halfway down the ramp.

Harvey: Slade! Slade is here!

Chase: Just when things were getting good.

Slade: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Now hold the hell on! What is all this? Biggs you really want to do this?

He nods from inside the ring.

Slade: You really want to put yourself in the position?

Biggs nods again.

Slade: You seem to be a little lost son. You also seem to have forgotten what happened last time you stepped in the ring with a member of the A.K.A., Hell last time you and your little tag partner Chris Cyrus took on the A.K.A. What happened sunshine? You got your ass beat. And now you think you’ve earned a chance to take on Shadow? No, no this isn’t happening, not here not now. But Slade says this, you so anxious to fight? You want to play in the big boy leagues there Biggs? Fine next week, you can go take your stand against “The Main Man!”

The crowd pops at this announcement.

Chase: What? Biggs doesn’t want to fight Slade, he wants Shadow.

Harvey: Well I think its only fair then.

Shadow looks at his tag team partner and then to Biggs who is glaring. The fans want him to get in that ring and shut Biggs up but Shadow knows he is in no condition to do so. He starts backing up the ramp as Craven’s Remix of “The Way You Like It!” cues up again

Harvey: What an announcement for next week's Overdrive, Slade Craven going one on one with Biggs!

Chase: We saw how physically dominating The Beast is tonight! You know Slade doesn’t have a prayer against Biggs with a man like that in his corner.

The A.K.A. look down the ramp at Biggs and The Beast. Biggs is fuming with anger as Shadow picks up his gear and holds the Overdrive Championship high in the air while still holding his ribs. Then he turns and heads backstage with Slade. As we fade to a commercial break.

[President Jeff]

We come back from commercial, and backstage is Shane West who is standing with an unfamiliar face.

Shane: Ladies and Gentleman, at this time, I’d like to introduce to you all, APW’s newest supper star, The Border Control Specialist, Ted Bennett. Ted, what brings you to Action Packed Wrestling?

Ted: I come to Action Packed Wrestling to Promote a cause that has been taken over the great land of the United States of America. I come baring a message that all will respect. A message that this town of Manchester, New Hampshire needs to hear. As I looked around the crowd earlier, I was sicken with what I saw.

Shane: What do you mean?

Ted: I’m talking about all the immigrants in the crowd. All of you who some how manage to sneak into this country. Your all lucky I don’t go out there and pull each and every one of you illegal immigrants out of the arena.

Boo’s from the crowd can be heard.

Ted: Next week on Overdrive, I make my in ring debut. And it doesn’t matter who I fight, because I’m dedicating my match to the good men and women at the border control agency who keep our country safe and are the true heroes of the U.S. of A.

The fans boo as Ted Bennett walks away and we go back to the ring.


The lighting in the arena dims as a countdown appears on the APW Titan-Tron, starting at 5. Once the timer reaches 0, pyro goes off and 50 Cent's "Ok, You're Right" hits the PA. J-Mart casually strolls out onto the ramp with his nose in the air. Slapping a fans hand every now and then, J-Mart makes his way down the ramp, chomping away on his gum.

Nicky Paige: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, first making his way to the ring from New York, New York...weighing in at one-hundred, seventy pounds...JOE MARTINEZ!!"

Chase: "Darren...what are you...dancing?"

Harvey: "What? I like this song!"

J-Mart leaps onto the ring apron and walks over to the nearest turnbuckle while still on the outside of the ring. He climbs the turnbuckle, closes his eyes, and raises one arm in the air. The cheers get louder and J-Mart jumps off the turnbuckle and into the ring. He starts pacing, jumping around, and pounding his chest as he waits for his opponent for tonight...

Tricky Daddy's "Let’s Go!" booms over the P.A. system suddenly as the lights begin to flicker once more, and out from behind the dark curtains bursts Slade Craven. Throwing his arms up into the air, while fans from one side of the building to the other cheer. Rushing down the ramp into almost a dead sprint he slides from underneath the bottom rope.

Nicky Paige: "And his opponent…hailing from Dallas Texas-"

Before Nicky Paige can finish the introduction, Slade shoots to his feet as he meets Martinez in the center of the ring and the two immediately begin exchanging hard blows.

Slade Craven Vs Joe Martinez


Chase: "There you have it right there folks, these two are ready to get it on here tonight!"

Slade’s massive frame tosses the smaller Martinez off like he is nothing and flexes to the cheering reaction from the crowd. Martinez with a cocky smirk nods on one knee, and dusts his right shoulder off.

Harvey: "Slade Craven clearly the bigger man as far as size in this competition."

Chase: "It's David and Golliath baby!"

Harvey: "Seriously, do you ever shut up?"

Martinez gets to his feet and acts like he is going to go in for a lock up, but instead gets behind Slade. Martinez goes for the take down, but Slade does not budge. Slade elbows Martinez and gets free. Slade turns and picks up and quickly slams Martinez easily with a double-underhook suplex followed by a flipping leg drop.

Harvey: "It appears Martinez is attempting to use his wrestling background in his arsenal, but it's just not quite enough."

Martinez to his feet and gets another double-underhook suplex for his trouble. Slade grabs Martinez and presses his hand over his head before slamming him hard down to the mat. Martinez relentless, stands up and Slade once again charges slamming into Martinez with a high knee. Knocking him halfway across the ring like a rag doll. Slade stands over and starts to laugh at the smaller Joe Martinez thinking that he has this match in the palm of his hand.

Harvey: "Slade seems confident to me."

Chase: "A little too much if you ask me."

Slade goes for another double-underhook, but this time Martinez headbutss Slade viciously to get out. Martinez off the ropes and comes back with a leaping cross-body that sends Slade crashing down. Slade is back up and Martinez manages to connect with a big hip-toss. Martinez picks up Slade struggling at first and then finally slams him to the mat this time. Looking out to the roaring fans cheering back and fourth, Joe hits the ropes and comes back with a perfectly placed sliding dropkick to the jaw. Rolling over Martinez scrambles for the cover:

1..!



2...!!


Kick-out by Slade Craven.


Harvey: "He gets Slade down but it's just not enough, Joe might have to think on his toes for this one!"

Chase: "Does this mean he's really going to have to stand on his toes?"

Harvey: "Johnny...you're an idiot. I swear."

Joe slams Slade again to the mat with a spinning neckbreaker before going for another sliding dropkick, but this time Slade rolls out of the way. Both are up and Slade is able to immediatly cut off the momentum of Joe Martinez by spin-kicking him in the face!!

Harvey: "Wow!!"

Chase: "What a KICK!"

Harvey: "I think J-Mart is having problems out there."

Chase: "He's fine trust me Joe can do this easy, no sweat."

Martinez is staggering dazed to his feet and Slade steps in and goes for another high spin-kick, but Martinez ducks under and sweeps his leg from under him. Joe hops onto Slade's back and attempts a Lock Down on the canvas, but Slade snapmares Martinez off.

Chase: "Damn that was a close one!"

Both are up and Martinez with a dropkick to the knee of Craven. Slade is slightly limping around and Martinez with a HUGE double-leg takedown. Joe with the leg of Slade and is able to get him into a half boston crab hold. Martinez wrenches on the hold as Slade is trying to claw and crawl his way to the ropes. Slade slowly inching his way to the ropes and is finally able to get there to break up the hold.

Fans: "Craven! Craven!"

Slade is up to his feet, but Martinez slams him right back down with a thunderous T-Bone suplex. Firing up momentum Joe goes up to the top rope. The fans now behind Martinez rise from their seats cheering him on as he climbs...

Chase: "Looks like Joe has something big planned here!"

Harvey: "It better be if he wants to take Craven down!"

Martinez perched on the top rope waiting to strike leaps HIGH to a standing Slade Craven who turns as Martinez goes for a cross-body....wait-Slade catches Joe by the neck...FLY-FLY CONNECTS!!

Fans: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"

Both men lay sprawled across the canvas, unflinching and breathing heavily. The official checking both superstars begins the count as the fans remain bursting into a frenzy watching the replay.


Referee: "ONE....!"


Referee: "TWO...!!"


Harvey: "Could we possibly see a double knockout here?"

Chase: "These people came to see action! Not a draw Darren!"

Referee: "THREE!"

Both superstars begin to move a bit, as Slade slowly crawls towards a wincing in pain Joe Martinez.

Referee: "FOUR!"

Slade collapses his chest over Martinez, going for the cover as the referee checks the shoulders and drops down:


1....!!!




2...!!!






Kick-out by Martinez!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both are up and Slade with a right to Joe Martinez . Another. A third. Finally Joe comes back screaming loudly with multiple shots of his own. Slade with a low kick to the gut, goes to get Joe for the Fly-Fly again, but Joe knees him in the kidneys. Joe spins Slade sideways and quickly lifts him high into the air spinning at an angle....TAKE A SEAT CONNECTS!!

Chase: "I told you he had it in him!"

Harvey: "We'll see if he's got enough left in him, can he make the cover?!"

Joe nodding his head to the crowd as they cheer on crawls slowly to a dazed Slade Craven. Martinez covers:



1...




2...




Kick-out by Slade Craven.

Harvey: "The fans are unstoppable here, they can't get enough of either of these guys!"

Chase: "Of course not, they're practically tearing each other apart."

Harvey: "Yeah, neither wants to lose here."

Joe on one knee stares at Slade as he gets up. Slade using the ropes is to his feet and Martinez comes in quickly, but Slade is able to catch him and press him up over his head into the turnbuckle behind him. Martinez slamming his head off the turnbuckle spins around dazed covering his face, as Slade his the ropes and comes back leaping into the air....MERCY DRIVE!!

Harvey: "Good timing, well executed."

Martinez slamming into the canvas face-first rolls onto his back, as Slade covers hearing the crowd's roaring reaction.

1....







2...!!!



Kick-out by Joe again! Slade slapping his hands ontop of his head looks to the referee in a shocking look of disbelief, holding three fingers to the ref but the ref shakes his head.

Chase: "I don't think Craven can't believe it, he looks stunned."

Harvey: "You can't deny the fighting spirit of Martinez Johnny, he will not quit.."

Slade is to his feet and so is Joe. Slade with a stiff clothesline that turns his opponent inside out and upside down. Quickly Slade picks up Joe and hits a Dragon suplex. Slade rushes to the ropes moments after and leaps on the second rope, going for a springboard moonsault...NO! Martinez gets the knees up driving into the chest of Slade!

Chase: "Yee-ouch."

Harvey: "My thoughts exactly."

Joe Martinez kicks up onto his feet as a double-over Slade Craven holds his gut area, Martinez hammering hard rights and lefts backs Craven into the ropes and whips him off. Slade comes back to meet a kick to the stomache by Martinez, Martinez sets Slade up for the Take a Seat....

Slade up for the Take a Seat hooks Craven's arm and hoists him into the air screaming, using all his body strength. Craven rolls off and quickly lands on his feet to the roar of the crowd...Martinez spins around...CLIQ KICK TO THE FACE!!

Slade covers:



1....

-Ding! Ding! Ding!-

Winner: Slade Craven

"Let's Go!" by Trick Daddy blares over the P.A. System as Slade Craven is helped out of the ring by his partner Shadow joining at ringside.


Nicky Paige: "HERE IS YOUR WINNER....SLAADE CRAAVEN!!"


The fans begin to boo as The Beast hit’s the ring and slides under the bottom rope while Biggs makes his way to ringside.

Harvey: No! Not this!

Chase: This is what Slade gets for sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong.

Slade sees The Beast stand up and he decides to charge the big man who goes for a clothesline, but Slade ducks it and dives through the second rope tackling Biggs on the outside! The fans are on their feet as Craven hits Biggs taking him to the floor. Then as Craven gets ready to get up, from the side comes Chris Cyrus! He nails Slade with a spear taking “The Main Man” down as the crowd turns ugly.

Chase: Ha!

Harvey: Chris Cyrus came in through the crowd. Those cowards! Its three on one.

Cyrus hauls Slade up as The Beast reaches over the ropes and grabs him by the shoulders and begins to pull him up into the air for that Sleeper Hold. Biggs gets back to his feet as Cyrus hits Slade in the stomach over and over again before Alterbridges’ Metalingus comes up again and the Overdrive Champion comes out with a wheelchair and a kendo stick. But Shadow is not sitting in the chair. He is pushing it as he tries to run but still feels the pain from last week. As he hit’s the ramp Shadow springs into the chair and crouches down letting the momentum carry him to the ring. Biggs and Cyrus scatter to the sides as The Beast drops Slade near the steps, just before he was able to lock in that Sleeper. Shadow leaps forward and slides under the bottom rope as the Beast turns. Shadow gets to his feet and the Beast drops back and rolls out of the ring.

Harvey: Shadow with an equalizer!

The big man is pissed. He swings the kendo stick at the ropes of the ring demanding for them to fight him but Biggs grabs The Beast on one shoulder while Cyrus grabs the other and they begin to back up the ramp, Craven left a heap near the steel steps. Then Biggs produces a microphone from his pants and begins to speak.

Biggs: Shadow! I warned you, you have no one to blame but yourself for all this. You refused to accept my challenge for Shockwave, and I told you I would hunt you down. Until you accept my challenge I will continue to take apart you and your friends.

He smirks as Shadow yells back at him. Then he reaches down and scoops up the mic the ring announcer left behind and says.

Shadow: Biggs, you want a shot at the gold? Fine! But mark my words, I will make you regret the day you were born! You want to hunt me down? You think you got the best of me? It’s safari season bitch and I’m coming for you!

There is an eruption from the fans as Shadow points the kendo stick specifically at the Beast who just stands there. Biggs keeps holding him back as does Cyrus as they back up the ramp. Then Shadow climbs out of the ring and tends to his partner. Craven is stirring but he is still out of it.

Harvey: Shadow accepted Biggs’ challenge, Shadow versus Biggs at Shockwave!

Chase: It’s about time too. He should have done it a long time ago and saved everyone all this trouble because you have to admit that this is all Shadow’s fault.

Harvey: No its not.

Chase: Yes it is, if Shadow had just accepted the challenge earlier Slade wouldn’t have suffered.

Harvey: You better believe that next week Slade is going to even the score.

The camera focuses on Slade who is now sitting up and looking up the ramp at the three assailants with Shadow still holding the kendo stick. The camera watches the fire in Slade’s eyes as it goes to a commercial break.

Overdrive comes back on the air

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

“King Nothing,” by Metallica hits the PA as John Green enters to thunderous cheers from the crowd during the guitar solo. Sparks and fireworks are shooting off as he strikes his “Retribution” pose and heads down the ramp, smiling and slapping hands with the fans.

Paige: Making his way to the ring first, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 265 pounds, “The Retribution Killer” John Green!

Harvey: Last week John Green fell short to the APW Xtreme Champion, Chris Cyrus

Chase: The outcome may have been different if Biggs wasn’t at ringside

Green slides into the ring, and throws his shirt into the crowd awaiting the arrival of his opponent.

"Basic Thugonomics Remix" begins to play on the PA. The fans jump out of their seats cheering. People watching at home see Jesse's titantron playing on their screen for a few moments. Then it returns to the stage area and Jesse is standing there looking down at his feet with his forearms crossed in front of him. He stands there for a few moments as then Jesse lifts his head up and gives a smirk as he then puts his arms in the air doing the “Word Life” hands as the fans cheer. The camera zooms out from the rafters to show the whole arena on their feet. The camera then zooms back in front of Jesse along with his wife Victoria. Jesse is wearing his black "The Prodigy" t-shirt with a chain with dog tags around his neck. He also has on a black hat on his head. The hat reads "The Prodigy" on the front and his name on the back, the hat is tilted slightly to the right of his head so that is barely covering over his right eye but he could still see and you could still see his eye barely. Every time the song starts to scratch, Jesse does the “You Can’t See Me” wave with his right arm which has the black basketball shooting sleeve on it.

Paige: And his opponent, accompanied by his wife Victoria, weighing in at 240 pounds, from Phoenix, Arizona, “The Prodigy” Jesse Nuñez!

Harvey: Jesse comes off a loss from Last Week against Slade Craven thanks to Level One

Chase: Two former EWC World Heavyweight Champions will face off at Shockwave for the APW World title. I’m looking forward to it

Jesse looks around the stadium and sees everybody cheering him around the arena. Jesse then runs and slides into the ring. He slides into the ring. As he stands up he looks around at the fans once more. Jesse walks to the furthest turnbuckle away from him as he climbs to the middle turnbuckle he puts the "Word Life" fingers in the air holding it in both hands, as he does gold sparks fall from the rafters around the ring. Jesse jumps down as the sparks continue to fall; he does the same on the opposite turnbuckle, the sparks end. Jesse then takes his hat off and throws it into the crowd. He also takes off his t-shirt and throws it at the opposite side of the crowd. He walks over to the furthest turnbuckle and he begins to throw punches to get him warmed up. He then takes off his chain with the dog tags on it and hands it to someone at ringside. His theme music begins to die off.

Jesse Nunez Vs John Green


The bell sounds as Jesse and John circle each other around the ring. John charges at Jesse with a running clothesline. Jesse ducks and returns the favor with a clothesline of his own. His connects as John is knocked down. Jesse decides to work Green’s back. He drops several elbows onto Green’s back before dropkicking Green in his back while he was sitting up. Nunez then picks Green up attempts a suplex, only to get it reversed into a DDT from Green. John throws Nunez into a turnbuckle and follows that up with another running clothesline. Jesse is clobbered and he comes crashing down on the mat. Green bounces off the ropes and leaps into the air, he then proceeds to drive his knee into the skull of Nunez. Jesse rolls around, grabbing his head in pain. John stalks Jesse, waiting for him to get to his feet. Once he does, Green charges at him with a flying knee! Jesse sees it coming and dropkicks John in midair! John and Jesse both scramble to their feet and get into a grappling battle. Jesse gains the upper hand and gets Green in a chin lock. Green eventually frees himself and delivers a sick punch combo that makes Jesse groggy. Green hits Jesse with a power bomb! The cover…

Green picks Jesse back up and gives him an elbow right upside the head. Nunez, feeding off the energy of the crowd, fights his way back and drops Green with a spear. After a series of crushing blows to the head, Green manages to kick Jesse off of him. Green jumps to his feet only to get sent right back down to the mat with a backdrop out of nowhere. Jesse hits the KoneXion and goes for the cover.

Chase: Jesse is the Number One contender for a reason, its going to take a lot to beat Jesse.

Jesse and John both get to their feet and look around the arena. All the fans are on their feet, cheering on both men. Nunez gives Green a nod of respect before hitting him with a running STO. Green swiftly gets back to his feet and is hit with a belly-to-belly suplex. Jesse throws up the word life hands and goes for the PHX.

Harvey: It might be over right here!

After struggling for a while, Green is able to push himself up to the pushup starting position with Jesse still on his back choking him. Green rolls over, forcing Jesse to break the hold. Both men are back on their feet now. The two exchange punches before Nunez lowers his shoulders and goes in for the The Resurrection and nails it

Winner: Jesse Nunez

Jesse Nunez raises his ‘’word life’’ knuckles in the air in celebration of his victory, while the crowd is off their feet in applause. Jesse Nunez was on his way back to the top and he had proved his worth tonight by beating a former APW world champion again. The fans respected Jesse Nunez’s performance many of them giving him a round of applause, but on applause had an extinct sound, it was loud, hell it had been practically obnoxious, turning his focus down the ramp, there Level-One stood with a microphone in hand giving Jesse Nunez a round of applause of his own, with a fake look of pride worn on his face.

‘’Jesse Nunez look at you!’’ Level-One elated in excitement immediately sending the crowd into a loud chorus of boos. Snarling at the crowd’s sudden change in manner, he continued on. ‘’Wow, Jesse Nunez you have shocked us all again! You have won another match! This wasn’t just any match; it was a match against John Green, a former APW champion. Hell, watching his performance—you would’ve thought John Green hasn’t been able to string his shit together for months inside that ring!’’ Level-One taunted the crowd, while Jesse Nunez watched the world champion from afar with his hands on his hips.

‘’Jesse Nunez what can we do with you? What can we do with you and your sudden stroke of victories over guys like Slade Craven, Biggs, and John Green twice?’’ Level-One inquires to himself sarcastically. ‘’Oh, I got it. We’ll give Jesse Nunez a title shot!’’ Level-One snarls. ‘’Is this how we find contenders now? Through tournaments compiled with 8 mid carders to fill out the show?’’ Level-One stares at Jesse Nunez who throws his hands up in the air, shouting down the ramp.

‘’If you want some come get some!’’

Level-One’s face tenses up, as he begins to march down the ramp, with the APW championship strapped around his shoulder accompanied by the True Experts championship on the opposite arm; Jesse Nunez can’t help but eye the gold as Level-One makes his highly anticipated approach towards the ring.

‘’Jesse Nunez, everything you’ve done means NOTHING’’ He berates on his way down to the ring. ‘’Everything you have done, I can do just as quick, just as easy—and I can do it all by putting in half the effort’’ He continues, while he slips under the bottom rope and into the ring.

‘’Back up!’’ Level-One hurls at Jesse Nunez holding him off guard. Jesse Nunez takes a few steps back and crouches low with caution urging Level-One on. Behind Level-One, John Green begins slowly beings to stir. Level-One drops the title of the true experts to the floor, while grabbing hold of the APW world championship holding it by his side.

‘’I’ll tell you what I think about your win over John Green…’’

Level-One quickly whips around driving the world title into the face of John Green, knocking him back into the ring ropes. John Green while still stood up with the help of the ropes appears to be unconscious.

Crowd: YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK!

Level-One quickly snaps around holding Jesse Nunez back with his sharp ice cold eyes. Level-One slowly backing up grabs the limp arm of John Green quickly hoisting him up onto his shoulders. The dead weight gives Level-One a bit of a struggle, but he manages to get him up there. Jesse Nunez watches on as Level-One delivers the Darkness Shine to the already lifeless John Green. Level-One crawls over retrieving the microphone.

‘’Goddamn it, get a fucking ref in here right now!’’ Level-One demands to the crowd’s displeasure. A referee slips into the ring after a few moments, while Jesse Nunez watches Level-One sporting an emotionless face. Level-One leans his back over the chest of John Green looking up at Jesse Nunez, with half interest.

‘’Jesse, I think whatever you can do…I can do so much better’’

The referee gets up, but Level-One isn’t happy. ‘’Count again!’’ The referee looks around confused, Jesse Nunez shakes his head back and forth trying to get the referee to come to his senses, but the ref drops down and counts the pin-fall once more.

Level-One glares at Jesse Nunez, slowly lifting the microphone to his mouth once again. ‘’Jesse Nunez, I dominate you in every sense of the word!’’ He shouts into the microphone, before looking at the ref.

‘’…Again’’ Level-One delivers sharply; the fans have let out a vicious barrage of boos by now which couldn’t seem to get any louder, especially as Level-One tugged on the leg of John Green to stress a fake urgency of the pin he made.

1…
2…
3…

Level-One sits up, raising his hands in the air in a sense of victory, before turning his attention to the ring announcer.

‘’Call my name…’’ Level-One demands. The ring announcer stands out side of the ring, confused to his demands, so he says it again. ‘’Ring that fucking bell, call my name’’ Level-One this time adding emphasis to his words. From behind Jesse Nunez has finally seen enough as he tugs on the arm of Level-One which results in both men locking eyes inside the ring.

‘’I’m taking yo' title'' Jesse Nunez says pointing at his belt. Level-One doesn’t say anything in return; instead he closes his eyes…

Paige: The winner of this match…LEVEL-ONE!

The fans nearly start a riot, as Level-One lifts the APW world title in the air above the head of Jesse Nunez. The champion and the contender stare at each-other until we cut to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes from commercial with Cindy Shannon standing with Jason Royce.

Cindy: At this time, Jason Royce

Boo’s are heard as Cindy hands the microphone to Royce

Jason: Last week, some punk by the name of Joe Martinez had the guts to interupt my interview. This week, he got his ass handed to him on a silver platter by Slade Craven, and word on the streets is that he’s packed his bags and went home. Which is good for him and too bad for me, because I wanted to teach that boy some respect.

But on to other things. I requested this time because I am ready to get back into the ring. I took a few weeks off to heal up some nagging injuries. And with Shockwave coming up in a month, I don’t want to be off the biggest show of the summer. So what I’m doing is throwing out an open Chall…….

Royce is then interrupted by a Backstage worker who hands him a letter

Jason: What’s this?

APW Worker: I was told to give this to you.

The worker leaves

Royce: Must be fan mail

Royce opens the letter up and looks at it and reads the letter out loud

Royce: “I’m Back and I’ll see you soon”

Royce looks confused as we go back to the ring

Chase: Who’s back?

Harvey: It could be anyone?

We go to the ring for the next match

Nicky Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

"Row Row Fight the Power" starts to play as The Zero enters the area with Shamel in tow. The fans cheer the mute superstar as he makes his way down the ramp.

Paige: Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 240 pounds, The Zero!

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 revieling Michael Lively as blue spraks shoot up from the floor behind him.

Paige: And his opponent, from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 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: Both of these men won their matches last week, The Zero in his debut, and Lively in his re-debut.

Chase: One of them is going to have to lose tonight! Unless there's a draw!

The ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

The Zero vs. Michael Lively

Lively gets the action going quickly by running in and hitting The Zero with a Dropkick! The Zero is right back up to his feet, and Lively goes for another Dropkick! The Zero sidesteps, and as The White Lion falls into the mat, The Zero pulls him right up and gives him a Headbutt right to the forehead! Lively is slightly stunned, allowing The Zero to whip him into the turnbuckle, and place him in the Tree of Woe! As the former APW Champion is suspended upside down, The Zero gives him a few kicks to the gut, and then lifts him up by the head with his feet still stuck in the corner! From this position, The Zero holds Lively's head up with one arm as he uses the other to give him a couple of Elbow Shots to the gut before yanking him from the ropes with a ton of force, sending Lively's back crashing into mat!

Harvey: I'm very impressed with what I've seen of The Zero in his short career thus far!

Chase: I just wished he'd talk more!

The Zero reaches down to pull Lively up to his feet, but as he does, Lively delivers a punch to the chin, and as The Zero stumbles back a bit, Lively nails the Pele Kick! As The Zero is getting to his feet, Lively steps out onto the apron, grabbing the top rope and slinging himself up to jump off with a Spring Board Clothesline! Lively keeps his momentum going, running towards the opposite ropes as The Zero gets up to one knee, and on the rebound, jumps up to hit The Zero with a Flying Knee to the Face! Lively goes for the cover,

Kick out!

Harvey: Say what you will about Lively's character, and belive me, I've said a lot about how much of a sleezebag he is, once he gets going in that ring, he's real hard to beat!

Chase: He's such a jerk that even I don't like him!

Lively gives The Zero a few Forearm Shots to the face before pulling the slightly bigger man up to his feet. Lively gets him in position for a The Lion's Bite Flipping Piledriver, but The Zero counters, Back Body Dropping Lively to get out of the predicament! As Lively gets to his feet, The Zero kicks him in the midsection, grabs a hold of Lively's right arm, and performs an Arm Wringer! The fans root The Zero on as he continues to torque the arm of the White Lion, and after a few moments, The Zero releases the hold and pulls Lively in to hit with an Uppercut! As Lively staggers back a bit, The Zero nails him with a Jawbreaker! The fans are cheering loudly as The Zero nods to Shamel, and then turns his attention back to Lively, pulling the downed wrestler up from the mat and pulling him up to hit with Zero Hope! Lively fights out of it and gets down to his feet and has Zero set for the Lions Bite. Just then “Raining Blood” by Slayer hit’s the PA.

Chase: Why is President Jeff’s music playing?

Lively pushes Zero away and waits for Jeff to come out. The music then stops and Lively is confused. Zero turns Lively around, picks him up and drops him with the Zero Hope. Zero has Lively pinned,

Winner: The Zero

Paige: Here is your winner, by pinfall, The Zero!

Harvey: What a big win for The Zero tonight! Anytime you beat a former world champion, it's impressive!

Chase: I got to give it to him, The Zero got momentum of the match, and held on to it to claim the victory here tonight!

"Row Row Fight the Power" blares over the speakers as Zero slides out of the ring and celebrates with Shamel. Lively is in the ring, upset that he lost due to the distraction of President Jeff. Just then the titantron flickers on and President Jeff appears on it

Jeff: Hey Lively. Up here. You didn’t think you we’re done with me tonight did you? I heard your little challenge, and you know what, As much as the fans would love to see me beat the crap out of you. The fans will love it even more if you never showed your face in APW ever again.

The fans cheer

Jeff: Lively, I’m satisfied with watching Zero beat you. I’m satisfied with making you look like a jack ass as you got beat. Lively, I got no reason to fight you. I got no reason to give you back your contract. So Lively, as of right now, I am no longer inviting you to have matches. I’m no longer giving you the attention you want. Say good by because this is the last time Lively that you’ll ever been on APW TV. Now Monkeys in the truck, cut the feed as we get this low life out of my ring

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Harvey: Main Event Time

Nicky Paige: The following contest is a non-title match scheduled for one fall, and is your APW Overdrive Main Event!

“Spaceman,” by The Killers, hits the speakers as the arena lights fade to dark blue! The stage glows as white strobe lights flash about the arena as the song builds up. Blue laser lights shoot from the stage as blue spotlights dance around, and Biggs enters to a chorus of boos from the crowd! Biggs has an extremely confident look on his face, and a slight dance in his step as he starts his way down the ramp.

Paige: Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 217 pounds, from Seattle, Washington, Biggs!

Biggs taunts the booing fans as he heads towards the ring. A group of fans in the front have a huge “Biggs!” sign that they're all holding together, and when he reaches the ring, Biggs takes the time to slap fives with each of his fans. Biggs then hops onto the apron, steps between the ropes, and raises his arms triumphantly in the ring as he awaits his opponent.

Harvey: Biggs has been absolutely obnoxious this past week, even more so than normal! He's been acting like this match is the biggest match in APW history!

Chase: Well it is to him! And I for one am glad to see Biggs get this opportunity tonight! I like both him and Level-One, but I think I like Biggs just that much better! Still, either way this match goes, I'll be as happy as a clam!

Harvey: Well at least somebody will be. Neither one of these men have endeared themselves to the fans, so it'll be interesting to see the fan reaction to this match!

“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 APW Title high in the air.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing in at 273 pounds, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the APW Heavyweight Champion of the World, 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 eying down a fan, mocking the fan in the process. Level-One turns, and climbs up onto the apron. He climbs up turn-buckle, hoisting his title high in the air. Level-One hops down, and awaits for the fight in-front of him. The ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Level-One vs. Biggs


Harvey: If nothing else, Level-One will be able to take Biggs to task for his mouth.

Level-One and Biggs tie up in the center of the ring. Level-One gains the advantage, having the obvious strength advantage, and begins to push Biggs back towards the corner. Biggs counters by pulling his foot up and stomping Level-One's knee joint, causing the champ to go down to one knee and release the Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up. Biggs quickly jumps to deliver a Short Dropkick to the face of Level-One, sending Level-One to the mat! Biggs shows Pitbull like tenacity, immediately going for a Fujiwar Armbar! Biggs pulls back hard on the champs arm, using his legs to increase leverage on the hold! Biggs then transitions into a Hammerlock, and pulls his knee back before drilling it repeatedly into the shoulder socket of Level-One! Biggs delivers about four or five knees before releasing the hold, and pulling Level-One up to his feet. Biggs tries to twist his opponent's arm into another Hammerlock, but Level-One counters by using his free arm to Clothesline Biggs right out his boots! Level-One pulls Biggs back up, and gives him another Flipping Clothesline! Level-One mercilessly stomps Biggs again and again, before pulling the arrogant superstar up and whipping him towards the corner! Level-One whips Biggs with such force that when he crashes into the turnbuckle chest first, it sends him crashing down the mat!

Harvey: Did you see the impact on the Irish Whip!?

Chase: That shook the whole ring!

Biggs holds his chest in pain as Level-One comes over and pulls him up to his feet. Level-One shoves Biggs into the corner, and proceeds to unload with rights and lefts! The crowd is largely silent, not sure whether to cheer or boo, until an isolated fan can be heard yelling, “Level-One sucks!” Another fan yells out, “Biggs sucks more!” and thus, dueling chants are born. The ref tells Level-One to back up, and when Level-One doesn't comply, he begins the mandatory five count. On four, Level-One back up, and as he does, Biggs takes the opportunity to quickly slide out of the ring! The fans boo loudly as Biggs stands outside the ring. Biggs taunts Level-One from the outside, as the fans start chanting, “You're a wussy!” *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap! “You're a wussy!” Biggs ignores them, and continues to harass Level-One. Level-One has an annoyed look on his face as he motions for Biggs to get back into the ring. Biggs slides into the ring, and slides right back out, breaking the 10 count! Level-One is getting visibly frustrated as Biggs continues to avoid coming back into the ring. On the count of nine, Biggs pulls the same stunt again, sliding in and out of the ring! Level-One has his familiar scowl across his face as he makes his way to the ropes, and steps out of the ring to go after Biggs! Level-One lunges at Biggs, and at this point Biggs busts out into a full dash, and Level-One chases after him!

Harvey: Biggs is channeling the spirit of Chris Candido as he tries to escape from Level-One!

Chase: It's part of Biggs plan! He knows that both him and Level-One are extremely well conditioned athletes, so he's going to do whatever he can to wear Level-One out! It's a brilliant plan, really!

Harvey: Well, I think he's just frustrating Level-One, and that's never a smart idea!

They do a complete lap around the ring, as the fans laugh at Biggs' cowardice. Biggs slides into the ring under the ropes, and quickly pops to his feet, stomping Level-One in the back of the head as he returns to the ring! Biggs pulls him back up to his feet, and whips Level-One into the ropes! On the rebound, Biggs jumps up and nails Level-One with a Leg Lariat! Biggs runs towards the ropes as Level-One gets to his feet, and hits him with a Flying Forearm! Level-One gets back up, only to be greeted with another Flying Forearm! As Level-One rises up again, Biggs steps out onto the apron, and Slingshots himself onto the top rope, springing off and hitting Level-One with a Flying Headscissors Takedown! Biggs goes for a quick cover, but doesn't even get a one count as Level-One presses up with his arms and launches Biggs about three feet into the air! Biggs crashes hard chest first onto the mat!

Harvey: What strength by Level-One! He sent Biggs airborne!

Level-One gets to a vertical base, and yanks Biggs right back up. Level-One hits with a beautiful Belly-to-Belly Suplex, and then pulls Biggs back up to do it again! Biggs gets to his feet, and is promptly whipped towards the ropes! On the rebound, Level-One catches him and delivers a liver shattering Spinebuster! Biggs winces in pain as Level-One goes for the cover,

Biggs kicks out! Level-One mounts Biggs, and gives him several Forearm shots to the face! Level-One then grabs a hold of Biggs' arm, and quicker than a hiccup, he shifts his body, wraps his legs around Biggs' arm and throat, and locks in a Triangle Choke!

Harvey: This one could be over quick, as Level-One has that vicious submission hold locked in tight!

Chase: Yeah, but Biggs' foot is very near the ropes! He could probably make a desperate lunge for it!

Biggs extends his leg out as far as he can, and tilts his foot to add some length, just barely getting a toe on the rope! The ref starts the five count, which Level-One naturally waits until four to release the hold! Biggs is holding his throat as the champion stalks the cocky young man, motioning for him to get up. Biggs is slow to get to his feet, so Level-One goes in to pull him up. Biggs uses this opportunity to give Level-One a Thumb in the Eye, drawing boos from the crowd!

Harvey: Note that the fans aren't necessarily booing the fact that Biggs gave Level-One a thumb to the eye, just the fact that Biggs resorted to such tactics! Believe me, both of these men are equally hated!

The ref admonishes Biggs as he gets to his feet, and gives Level-One a few Calf Kicks before running towards the ropes to the back of Level-One, and lunging forward to Clip the Knees of the APW Champion! Biggs grabs a hold of Level-One's left leg as he's laid out on the mat, and Biggs delivers more Calf Kicks to the leg, and then jerks it back, trying to pull the knee out of socket! Biggs maintains control of the leg, and steps through, looking to go for the Sharpshooter! Level-One uses his leg strength to prevent Biggs from turning him over! Biggs is flipped inside out as Level-One twists his legs around to break the attempted hold! Level-One starts to get back up, but Biggs is up quicker, and gives Level-One some more kicks to the calf, before grabbing a hold of Level-One's left leg to deliver a Dragon Screw! As Level-One is on the mat, Biggs goes for a Grapevine Leg Lock! As Biggs applies pressure to the leg, Level-One uses his upper body strength to crawl to the opposite ropes, drawing the five count! Biggs releases on four, and gets back up, stomping the leg of the champ again and again until the ref backs him up! Level-One uses the ropes to pull himself up, and once he's to his feet, Biggs gets a running start, charging in towards the champ! Level-One has the wherewithal to counter with a Back Body Drop, sending Biggs flying to floor!

Chase: Biggs has shown a good strategy so far, going for the legs of the bigger man, but Level-One shows why he is the champion, using Biggs' aggression against him!

Harvey: As much as I dislike Level-One, I cannot knock his skill and toughness in that ring!

Level-One uses the opportunity to try and shake some feeling back into his left leg as Biggs recovers on the outside! After a few moments, Level-One exits the ring, and steps down to the floor. At this point, Biggs is on all fours, allowing Level-One to deliver a brutal Soccer Kick to the ribs! The impact of the kick echoes throughout the arena! Level-One proceeds pull Biggs up by the head, and bounces said head off the apron before rolling Biggs right back into the ring! The champ reenters the ring himself, and hoists Biggs up for a Stalling Suplex, slamming Biggs into the mat with another high impact maneuver! Level-One goes for a cover,

Biggs gets a shoulder up! The APW Champion maintains the advantage, punching Biggs in the face as he pulls him back up to a standing position! Level-One gets the smaller competitor in a Side Headlock, and drags him to the corner, slamming Biggs back first into the turnbuckle! Level-One sits Biggs up on the turnbuckle, and climbs up himself! He hooks Biggs in position for a Superplex, but before he can deliver it, Biggs uses his free arm to punch Level-One in the gut several times before shoving him off! Biggs then tries to get up from the seated position to a standing position, and while he's trying to get properly perched, Level-One gets back up, and runs towards Biggs, getting his foot up for a Running Big Boot to the ankle of Biggs, dropping Biggs crotch first to the turnbuckle! As Biggs grits his teeth in pain, Level-One steps back up onto the ropes, and this time connects with a Superplex!

Harvey: Level-One's strategy seems to be hitting with as many high impact moves as possible to put Biggs away!

Chase: That does play to his strengths!

Harvey: No pun intended, I'm sure...

Level-One crawls over to Biggs, and pins him,

Biggs gets a shoulder up! The familiar scowl crosses Level-One's face once more as he goes towards Biggs' legs, and grabs them up to apply a Boston Crab to the Spaceman! Level-One sits in the small of Biggs back, pulling hard on his opponent's legs! Pain racks the face of Biggs as Level-One pulls back harder and harder! The pain is evident on Biggs' face as he tries to escape the painful hold! Biggs tries to twist his body around a bit to try and loosen Level-One's grip on his legs. Through the combination of twisting and trying to kick his feet, Biggs manages to get his right leg free! Level-One tries to grab it, but the change in focus allows Biggs to get his other foot free, and he quickly crawls between Level-One's legs, and gets to his feet as Level-One turns around! Level-One goes for a punch, but Biggs ducks under it, and counters with a Jumping Spin Kick to the face! Level-One stumbles back a bit, giving Biggs the chance to give him a Dropkick to the Knees, and as Level-One falls to one knee, Biggs backs up a bit, and runs in to connect with a Shining Wizard to the back of the head! As Level-One is on the mat, Biggs quickly steps out onto the apron, and pulls himself up to the top rope, leaping off for a Springboard Shooting Star Press! The crowd claps loudly in appreciation for the amazing move as Biggs goes for a cover, 1...2...Level-One rolls his shoulder up! Biggs pulls Level-One back up, giving him a European Uppercut on the way up! Biggs delivers a couple more European Uppercuts, and follows up with a quick Backsweep Kick, knocking Level-One's legs out from beneath him! Biggs then goes right back to the champ's left leg, grabbing the knee joint, and driving his own knee into it again and again! After about five shots, Biggs keeps a hold of the leg, and gets to his feet, and does a Standing Front Flip while holding the ankle of Level-One, jerking the leg! Biggs then drags Level-One by the leg towards the ropes, placing Level-One's foot on the bottom rope! Biggs grabs a hold of the top rope, and bounces up to the second rope, springing off to deliver all of his body weight to the knee joint of Level-One! Biggs goes for it again, and again, crashes all of his weight onto the knee joint again! The third time is not a charm, though, as Level-One pulls his leg out at the last second, and Biggs falls bum first onto the mat!

Harvey: Biggs went to the well one too many times, and paid for it! Let's see if Level-One can capitalize on the mistake!

Chase: If I didn't know any better, I'd think that you're rooting for the champ!

Harvey: Well, as much as I can't stand Level-One, at least he's not an obnoxious twit like Biggs!

Chase: It still looks like the fans don't know who to cheer for.

Harvey: They've just been booing for both, but they can't deny that we've seen a good match so far!

Both men get to their feet, and begin to trade punches! Level-One gains the advantage, and punches Biggs back into the ropes, whipping him towards the opposite ropes! On the rebound, Level-One tries to hit Biggs with another Big Boot, but Biggs ducks under, runs through, and jumps onto the center rope, performs a back flip, and grabs Level-One's head on the way down to hit with Springboard Flipping Reverse DDT! Biggs keeps the pace fast, and gives Level-One a Short Dropkick to the side of the head! Biggs pulls Level-One back up to his feet, gives him a kick to the gut, and backs up a bit before charging in for a Running Knee Lift to the Face! As Level-One is spun around, Biggs comes from behind to grab him by the head and run up the ropes, but before he can hit with the Bigg Time, Level-One shoves Biggs off, tossing him over the ropes towards the floor! However, Biggs manages to land on his feet, though he's a bit jarred by the impact! The fans let out a collective gasp of disbelief!

Chase: What athleticism by Biggs! He's like a cat! My goodness!

Harvey: That was impressive!

Level-One looks down, not believing what he's just seen! Biggs turns around to face his opponent, and laughs! This enrages Level-One, and he rushes out onto the apron! Before he can get any further, Biggs jumps up for a High Standing Drop Kick that hits Level-One's left leg, sending the champ crashing down to the floor! Biggs shows his mean streak by pulling Level-One up and tossing him head first into steps! The crash of the steps can be heard throughout the arena! Biggs whips Level-One into the barricade as the ref reaches the count of 7. Biggs gives Level-One a punch to the side of the head and breaks the count! Biggs then pops up onto the top turnbuckle, while Level-One staggers from the barricade towards the ring. Biggs jumps off to nail Level-One with a Flying Cross Body! The crowd pops for Biggs' move, but the pop turns to a boo as Biggs rolls back into the ring and tells the ref to count! “1...2....3....”

Harvey: It looks like Biggs wants to get the count out on Level-One!

Chase: A win is a win! Especially when it's against the champion!

The sly grin crosses Biggs face as the ref continues to count. “4....5...6...” Level-One starts to stir on the outside! “7!” Biggs' look of joy starts to turn to a look of disdain. “8!” Level-One is up to a knee! “9!” Level-One quickly slides into the ring! Biggs stomps the mat in frustration before rushing in to attack Level-One! Biggs throws a punch towards the champ, but Level-One blocks, nailing Biggs with a punch of his own!

Level-One has the hold in deep, and Biggs starts to show signs of fading! The smaller man flails his arms about wildly, trying desperately to grab onto anything! Level-One pulls Biggs to the center of the ring! As Level-One shakes Biggs around like a rag doll, Biggs' arms go limp! The ref raises it the first time, and it falls! “1!” Level-One shakes Biggs around a bit more before the ref checks his arm again, and again, it falls! “2!” Again, Level-One rattles Biggs around a bit as the ref checks the Spaceman's arm, and it looks like it's about to fall when all of a sudden, Biggs gets his arm up! Biggs stomps Level-One's feet, trying to force him to break the hold, and manages to position himself so that he can deliver a couple of elbow shots to the gut of Level-One!

Harvey: And we're essentially back to square one in the match, where both men are sizing each other up, trying to win this game of human chess!

Chase: You can't say that the reset button has been hit, though, because these men have really pulled out all the stops tonight, and as such, have dealt quite a bit of damage to each other!

Harvey: No doubt, these two will be feeling this match in the morning!

Biggs quickly backs out before Level-One can get a hold of him! Level-One goes in to grab Biggs, but Biggs ducks and rolls behind Level-One! Level-One is able to turn around right as Biggs gets back to his feet. The two men continue to be at a stalemate as they continue to circle around the ring. The fans start to get antsy, and a chant of “Mess him up, Level-One, mess him up!” gets going. Another group of fans, particularly the group in the front row, get a “Let's go Biggs! Let's go Biggs!” chant going.

Chase: It looks like the fans have taken sides, and they're split right down the middle!

Harvey: Well, in these matches where there's no clear fan favorite, I've found that people generally tend to go for the guy they dislike the least, although sometimes, they for the guy they respect more!

Chase: Well I think that these men have done more than enough to earn that respect! Biggs has displayed tremendous athletic prowess, while Level-One is the freakin' APW Champion!

Level-One charges at Biggs, overwhelming him and driving him into the corner! The fans rooting for Level-One come alive, cheering loudly as he pummels Biggs with rights and lefts!

Winner: Level One

Paige: Here is your winner, by pinfall, the APW Heavyweight Champion of the World, Level-One!

The crowd gets back to being unified in booing the APW Champ, as the ref hands him his belt and has his arm raised in victory!

Harvey: Level-One just leveled Biggs, and that time, it was very much pun intended!

Chase: I was hoping that Biggs could pull it off tonight, but Level-One showed once again why he is the dominate force here in APW!

Harvey: The fans may not care for either competitor, and neither do I, but that was one of the darndest matches I've seen in a while! My hat's off to both men!

Chase: I think on some level, these guys really respect each other, because neither one tried to cheat! This match was fought completely on the up and up!

Harvey: Well if they didn't have any respect for each other before this match, I'm sure that's changed by the end of it!

The Beast and Cyrus have come out, and The Beast grabs a hold of Biggs by the arm, dragging him out of the ring, and flinging him over his shoulder, carrying Biggs up the ramp. Level-One laughs it up in the ring as The Axis of Awesome makes their way to the back. The fans continue to boo as APW Overdrive comes to a close!
