Overdrive opens up with the letters EWC on the screen. The camera zooms out and you see that the letters are on a Production Truck. The camera zooms back some more and you see “President” Hurricane Jeff standing in front of the truck.
Jeff: Here I am, Standing in front of the EWC Production truck in Memphis Tennessee. The place where last week, EWC’s Monday Night Brawl was set to make it big triumphant return. I was going to come here and confront Mac right to his face and make him accept my challenge for Christmas Chaos. So this past Monday, I come here and I find out that the show has been rescheduled for next week. Seriously? All this hype, all this build up for a show that got Rescheduled. And Why? Come to find out, Half the wrestlers didn’t show up. Can’t say I don’t blame them. See, those guys we’re smart. They knew that EWC was overrated. They didn’t believe all the hype for EWC or Mac.
Ever heard of the saying, “The Show must go on.” I’ve had champions leave me days before big matches, but the show went on. I had A chunk of my roster leave me days before a Pay Per View, but the show went on. But you know what, with the show rescheduled next week, I decided that I would spend some time here in Memphis. I rented myself a hotel suite right own the road from the arena and I will make sure that this Monday, I will be on Brawl and I will confront Mac. That’s if a show even happens.
Mac, I know your watching, like I said before, you can run, but you can’t hide Mac. This Monday, I will be here. I will be at your show and I will make you accept my challenge. Mac, be a man for once. Fight me Mac. Fight Me!
The scene fades out into the Overdrive intro video
The video ends and pyro shoots from the stage and the Overdrive theme song continues to play as fans stand from their seats, cheering and holding up their signs, showing off for the home audience. The camera stop on the voices of Overdrive, Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase.
Harvey: Welcome everyone to Wednesday Night Overdrive! And happy Thanks Giving
Chase: I’m Johnny Chase along side Darren Harvey and tonight is full of Tag Team Action.
Harvey: Four match tonight, with a double main event. First, we will see the AKA take on the O’Connor Brothers
Chase: And in out main event, Level One and Victor Hades team up to take on the unlikely duo of Pence Weatherlight and Michael Lively
Harvey: Can Pence and Lively work together tonight and put away Hades and Level One?
Chase: Any thing is possible.
Harvey: Lets not waist anymore time and go to out opening match.
Joe and John celebrate
Chase: I’m getting word that backstage there’s a huge thanksgiving feast being held by none other than the greatest APW Overdrive Champion ever, Biggs!
Harvey: You know, it’s sickening how much you love Biggs. Still, let’s send it to the back!
In the backstage area, there is are several buffet style tables set up with festive brown table clothes, horns of plenty on each table, leaves, and of course, a Thanksgiving feast! The center table holds three gigantic turkey, one that’s at least 35 pounds, with the other two in the 20 pound range. There’s lots of different vegetables, mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and every kind of pie imaginable. Biggs is decked out in a full pilgrim costume, complete with the knee length black pants, white stockings, tall hat, and black jacket. The only historical inaccuracy with his costume is that Biggs is donning his signature shades. Chris Cyrus and The Beast are dressed normally, admiring the Thanksgiving spread.
Chris: You went all out for this bro! I got to say that I’m impressed., although somehow, I don’t think that pilgrims wore shades.
Biggs: Hey, just because I’m going all out for my Thanksgiving celebration, that doesn’t mean I should have to sacrifice my sense of style! I’m sure that if there were shades back then, all the cool pilgrims would have worn them!
Chris: But that would mean there’d have to pilgrims as cool as us, and I don’t see that being even remotely possible!
Biggs: True that! Still, I have so much to be thankful for that I can’t help but give this holiday my all. After all, this holiday is all about remembering what we’re grateful for. I think it’s pretty obvious what I’m most grateful for.
Biggs slaps his APW Overdrive Championship belt clasped around his waist.
Biggs: I am grateful for the fact that I have to opportunity to restore the prestige of this belt by facing not only Shadow at Rival Factions, but also Pence Weatherlight at Christmas Chaos. Sure, those two are big names as far as the fans are concerned, but I couldn’t think of an easier couple of opponents! Let’s face it, Pence got lucky last week when he pinned me, and now that I know it’s just going to be me and him in that ring at the Staples Center on December 20, well, I can’t help but feel really confident that it won’t be happening again!
At this point, Mark Moment walks past the banquet, stops in his tracks, and does a double take at the impressive feast laid out.
Mark Moment: Oh my goodness! A Thanksgiving feast laid out in the backstage area! These always end in huge food fights! I can’t wait!
Biggs: And that is exactly why I’m not letting you, or any other so called good guys into my feast, because I intend to celebrate Thanksgiving, not let it devolve into something you could find in a high school cafeteria!
Mark: But it’s a Thanksgiving celebration on a wrestling show! If somebody doesn’t end up getting covered in gravy, then it’s not complete!
At this point, The Beast gets behind Mark Moment, and dumps a large container of gravy all over him. The fans boo loudly as Mark Moment wipes the gravy from his eyes. He has an upset look on his face.
Biggs: There, you got somebody covered in gravy! Now be on your way!
Mark grumbles to himself as we walks off camera.
Biggs: What a waste. I absolutely love gravy.
Cyrus: Don’t worry, we got more where that came from!
The Beast proceeds to pull out a container identical to the one used to cover Mark Moment.
Biggs: Alright! Let’s get this feast started!
At this point, The Axis get in line at the food tables, grabbing their plates and serving themselves up as the camera switches back to Darren and Johnny in the arena.
Chase: That looks great! It’s just too bad that I have a job to do, otherwise, I’d be all over that turkey!
Harvey: That just sounded wrong!
Chase: Hey, I’m supposed to be the one making off-color comments!

Joe Martinez and John Green vs. Vic Diaz and Scott Rock
The match begins with Joe Martinez and Scott Rock in the ring, both men quickly lock up, and try to overpower each other, but that gets them no where. The slightly larger Joe quickly locks in a headlock and stands up on his toes to gain leverage on Scott Rock, but Scott quickly counters it into a headlock of his own. Scott puts a lot of pressure on the hold and forces Joe down to one knee, but Joe with a burst of strength stands up again, and then breaks the headlock. Joe quickly uses a clothesline to send Scott to the mat below, Joe goes for the pin quickly.
1....
Kickout!
Scott quickly rolls up and rub his neck as Joe and him stare each other down on opposite sides of the ring from where they had originally started. Joe rushes at Scott who side steps the on-coming Joe and then when Joe turns around gives him a nice standing drop kick, sending him to the mat with a loud thud. Scott looks to the ropes near Joe and jumps up on them for a spring board drop kick, but that misses the mark as Joe rolls out of the way and Scott crashes and burns holding his leg. Joe looks at him, a wide smile playing on his face, as he quickly goes in for a six shooter on the fallen Scott Rock. Scott calls out in pain as his leg is now in an awkward angle, but unbeknownst to Joe, Scott makes a tag to his partner Vic Diaz, who gets into the ring and running bull dogs Joe to the mat. Vic goes for a quick pin.
1....
Kickout!
Joe kicks out and Vic begins to stomp on the fallen Joe Martinez until finally Joe gets back up to a vertical basis and as Vic goes to punch Joe in the face Joe catches it and then sends one of his own punches at Vic's face. Joe building up momentum continues to punch Vic until finally he has pushed Vic into his corner where he makes the tag. John comes in and for a bit both of them whale on Vic with kicks and punches until finally the ref breaks it up. John pulls Vic out of the corner and lifts him up for a suplex and bridges while doing it.

2.....
Powerout!
Vic manages to power out at the last second, causing John to begin to yell at the referee, but that costs him as Vic drags himself over to Scott and makes a quick tag. John doesn't know what is happening as Scott comes out of the ropes and then jumps on them performing a sort of spring board round house kick to the back of John Green's head, John yelps in pain, and falls over as Scott walks over to him. Scott goes over to him and locks in a chinlock, bringing the upper back against his knee while standing on it, John screams in pain, and Scott Rock demands that John tap out and give in to the submission. Joe clearly having seen enough gets himself involved and gets into the ring, he drags Scott off of John, and this draws the cheers of the fans as both men stand staring at each other face to face. The ref breaks it up and pushes Joe back to the outside of the ring as Scott goes back to pick John up who quickly eye pokes Scott and jumps to tag Joe in. Now both men being legal they stare at each other with intensity as they lock up once again. This time Scott gains the advantage and pushes him into the ropes and then irish whips him to the ropes on the other side, but on the way back Joe slides in with a shoulder block directed at the bad leg of Scott Rock. Scott falls face first to the mat below and holds his jaw and leg in pain. Joe locks in another six shooter on Scott, but even with the intense pain Scott does not give in and declines all of the chances to tap.
Joe releases the hold, clearly noting that the damage has been done to Scott Rock, who gets up while gritting his teeth, and holds on to the ropes while doing it. Joe waits for this and rushes Scott, but Scott still has some level of speed to him as he rolls out of the way and Joe goes through the ropes and to the outside of the ring, crashing and burning if you will. The ref begins the count.

Joe gets back into the ring and Scott goes on the offensive once again, going for another spring board kick that he had done to John Green earlier in the match, but due to the injury the jump goes wrong and Joe manages to spear him in the mid air, both men crash to the ground exhausted. Scott manages to put his arm on top of Joe.

Shoulder up!
Joe gets his shoulder up as both men roll back up to where they were standing and as both men get ready for round three of their little battle, Joe pulls a fast one and locks in the Chi Splash, and executes it perfectly. The fans go wild as Joe collapses on top of Scott for the pin.
