Overdrive - Portland, Oregon (04/29/10)

[biggs]

After the opening video plays, fireworks shoot from the stage as the Overdrive theme song continues to play. The fans are on their feet, holding up their signs, excited for a great night of APW action. Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase can be heard as the camera continues to sweep about the arena.

Harvey: Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to the Rose Garden in the wonderful city of Portland, Oregon for APW Thursday Night Overdrive!

Chase: The arena is packed to the rafters, and we got a show for them tonight! I'm looking forward to Level-One and Leila Farrahi versus Bryan Payne and Sally Talford myself!

Harvey: As am I, but there's another match that intrigues me tonight, as two Champions team with their respective challengers when Michael Lively teams with Jim Steel to take on Hellfire K.I.D. and Mark Moment!

Chase: Will they be able to co-exist? I don't think so!

Harvey: That remains to be seen. However, tonight Pence Weatherlight and John Green will be in the same ring as Pence hosts his own in-ring interview segment! I wouldn't want to miss that!

Chase: But we're starting tonight with our great General Manager, Biggs, who's already in the ring with his lovely fiance, Ellie!

Indeed, Biggs and Ellie are already in the ring. Biggs is dressed in a spiffy suit and tie, while Ellie is in a sensible dress. The crowd boos them loudly. Biggs waits for it to die down a bit before beginning to speak.

Biggs: Ever since I took control of Overdrive, there's one thing that I've been hearing from all the fans, one thing that I've been reading on the internet, and what that one thing is is that I am unable to get control of Level-One. Two weeks ago, he attacked Michael Lively following the #1 Contender's Match for the APW Heavyweight Championship. Last week, he attacked Bryan Payne, even though he'd been ejected from the arena. People have been saying that I must not be doing a good job of running Overdrive, because I'm letting Level-One run loose, doing whatever he pleases, whenever he pleases. People are saying that I'm allowing Level-One to do the same exact thing that President Jeff allowed Pence Weatherlight to do as the masked man. And while this assessment may be far from the reality of the situation, the fact is that I can't let that perception of yours truly continue to float around. Unlike President Jeff, I am trying to prevent the situation with Level-One from escalating. Unlike President Jeff, I am taking measures to try and protect my roster. You see, while President Jeff gave Pence free reign to come and go as he pleased whilst dressed as the masked man, I have devoted time and effort to solve the problems that Level-One has been causing. It just seems that I can't find help good enough to deal with Level-One.

The fans get a “WE WANT JEFF! WE WANT JEFF!” chant going. Biggs adjust his shades while Ellie covers her ears.

Biggs: Oh, it's not like President Jeff could do any better! Unlike Jeff, I don't make it a habit to show favouritism, I don't screw over people on a whim. Let's face it, Level-One is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, competitor to ever step foot in an APW ring. He's got a mixture of toughness and intelligence that is dangerous, and he's a two time APW Champion. Do you really think some security guards are going to be able to stop this guy if he has his mind on something? I don't. That's why I'm going to have to deal with him myself. Level-One, I know you're in the back, I want you to come down to this ring right now!

Lupe Fiasco's “Put You On Game” hits the speakers, and Level-One emerges from the back with his usual scowl. The fans are livid, hurling insults at him. Level-One ignores them as he makes his way down the ramp, staring a hole through Biggs. As he gets in the ring, the timekeeper hands him a mic. Before he can speak, Biggs chimes in.

Biggs: Level-One, I can understand your frustration with not being granted an immediate title rematch with Pence Weatherlight. After all, his win over you was nothing more than a fluke...

Level-One: You don't understand a damn thing, Biggs. How could you? I am a wrestler. A former world champion. I've done things, been places and achieved heights you can only begin to imagine and yet you expect me to believe you understand where I am coming from, Biggs? I'm sure it's easy for YOU to say that behind the comfort of your desk, with your lackey security guards hanging around in case you hurt your wrist booking a card—but me and you? We are two different people.

Biggs holds the microphone to his chest running his hands across his chin, pondering the thought. Biggs let's out a helpless sigh as he lifts the microphone back to his mouth.

Biggs: Your issue isn't with me. It's with President Jeff and his lawyers. He wrote the contract for your Iron Man Match at RassleMania, and since then, I've been having to try and manuever through all the legal red tape to get you the title match you so richly deserve. I agree with you that you deserve that match! But the fact of the matter is, Level-One, that going around, beating people up with the intent to get the fans to demand that I grant you the match, well that's just not going to fly. Even if they beg for me to grant you that title match, they won't feel that you truly deserve it. They'll feel that you coherced them into it. They'll begrudge you for it. And while I know that you don't give two licks about what these morons in the crowd think about you, I also know that you don't want to be thought of as an undeserving champion. I know just how great you are, Level-One, and deep down, I know that these fans know it too, they're just too spiteful to admit it. The fact is is that Pence Weatherlight should have been nowhere near a title match with you at RassleMania, but he was. We can't change the fact that he was miraculously able to beat you, and we can't change the fact that President Jeff screwed you over with the contract. But what we can do, Level-One, is prove to the fans beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are man most deserving of a title shot.

The fans boo this notion.

Biggs: As I'm sure you're well aware of, following Mayhem, we'll be holding our annual Test for the Best tournament, where the winner gets a gaurenteed shot at the APW Heavyweight Championship. And let's face it, Level-One, if you're entered in that tournament, you are the heavy favorite to walk out the winner. But I'm the one who decides who gets to be in the tournament! I'll make you a deal, Level-One, if you can promise me that you will cease to attack the other members of the APW roster wontonly, then I will make sure that you are entered in Test for the Best. If not, though, Level-One, then I will have no choice but to exclude you from the tournament!

The crowd cheers the fact that Level-One may not be in Test for the Best. Biggs extends his hand towards Level-One for a handshake.

Biggs: What's it going to be, Level-One?

Level-One stares a whole through Biggs, who points at his hand, motioning the he should shake it. Biggs, verbally reminds him that his is his shot, his opportunity to retrieve was was rightfully his. Level-One ponders the thought before extending his hand as a smile creeps across the face of Biggs, but before Biggs knows it, he's staring at Level-One's longest finger; with a crowd booing him relentlessly in the backdrop.

The smile across Biggs face slowly, fades as Level-One cracks a large grin.

Level-One: To hell with you and your offer, Biggs. I am not negotiating. I am not cutting any side deals. And I am going to do what I damn well please! I will get my hands on Pence Weatherlight weather your choose to willingly allow it to happen... or not.

Biggs can't help lose his cool as he shouts into his microphone.

Biggs: You are taking a huge gamble, Level-One!

Level-One in return shrugs his shoulders backs up, and looks to exit the ring.

Level-One: And I'm calling your bluff. The blood spilled will be on your hands, Biggs. You will be as guilty as these fans are...

Level-One slams the microphone into the ring, shattering it in the process. Level-One hops out of the ring, and backs up the ramp, as Biggs watches Level-One leave in complete and utter amazement by the events he just watched occur. We head to ring, side.

Harvey: I can't believe what I just saw! Biggs, offered Level-One an opportunity to enter the Test for the best tournament a couple of months from now; and Level-One outright turned it down! I thought that's the kind of thing he was looking for!?

Chase: Yes, Harvey; but it was under Biggs terms. Level-One is looking to do things his own way, and I'm not sure if it makes the APW any safer because of it; but you can blame the determination of our former world champion, it can only be respected!

[biggs]

Paige: The opening contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring from Chicago Illinois Jimmy Jazz!!

A 2 second Jazz tune followed by Hero by Skillet The Lights Dim and a smooth but short jazz tune plays. The music stops the lights come back on and suddenly Hero by skillet hits and then pyro comes from underneath the stage. Jazz comes out with Shana and Meursault and struts to the ramp then stops, shrugs his shoulders, and lowers his arms then quickly raises them. He rubs his hands together as he approaches the ring. He slides in and raises his arms and the crowd boos loud. He jumps up and wipes his face as his music lowers and eventually cuts off.

Harvey: Jimmy Jazz suffered a setback last week, and is looking to recover here tonight against Bobby King!

Chase: Well, Bobby King also comes off of a particularly tough loss to Jim Steel last week. You know that he'll take his anger out on Jazz for sure.

Paige: And his opponent making his way to the ring, from Detroit Michigan Bobby King!!

He walks down the entrance ramp and once he gets to the bottom of the ramp he stops and raises his arms out to the side in the air with a cocky look on his face at the crowd, he climbs up onto the apron and turns back facing the entrance and once again holds his arms in the air to the sides. After that he springs over the ropes into the ring and stands in the middle of the ring with a cocky smirk on his face

Jimmy Jazz vs. Bobby King

The bell sounds to start off the match as both men circle the ring before locking up as Jazz uses his height advantage to back Jazz towards the ropes. The referee calls for a break as King backs away holding his hands up as he smiles at Jazz whose upset with King as he charges at King and gets caught with an arm drag as King applies an arm bar on Jazz keeping him on the mat

Harvey: Looks like Jazz got a little ahead of himself as he got caught by Bobby King with a nice arm bar.

King keeps the arm bar locked in as Jazz works up to his feet scoring with a few elbows to the face of King getting himself loose as Jazz bounces off the ropes and scores with a well placed knee to the gut of King doubling him over as he lands hard on the mat. Jazz quickly goes on the offense as he mounts King and hammers him with rights and lefts to the face and body. King struggles to get himself free but does as he shoves Jazz away getting up to his feet and connecting with a nice clothesline on Jazz taking him to the mat as King falls to the mat himself as the referee looks on

Chase: Bobby King connects with a well timed clothesline to Jimmy Jazz. Now both men are out on the mat as the referee is forced to use the ten count.

The referee is now up to six as both men begin to stir reaching there feet at the count of eight. Jazz lands a right hand and King answers with a forearm both men trade back and forth shots neither one able to get an advantage over the other as the fight continues. Finally Jazz gets the upper hand as he connects with a kick to the gut of King following up with a quick power bomb as King lands hard on the mat and Jazz goes for the cover

King gets a shoulder up. Jazz looks at the referee and then goes back to work on King laying in with rights and lefts as King finally shoves Jazz off of him and gets to his feet. Jazz charges at King as King attempts a clothesline but Jazz ducks the attempt and catches King with a kick to the gut as King turns around. Jazz sets King up for another power bomb but King counters pulling Jazz’s legs out from underneath him as he sets Jazz up and catapults him face first into the corner. Jazz’s skull bounces hard off the corner as King gets to his feet Jazz staggers backwards feeling the effects of the move as he turns around right into a super kick from King that plants Jazz on the mat as King goes for the cover

Jazz kicks out. King looks at the referee who tells him it was indeed a two count. King gets to his feet urging Jazz to get up Jazz slowly gets to his feet as we see King climb out onto the apron as he holds onto the top rope waiting for Jazz to turn around. Jazz starts to turn around as King uses the rope and springs off of it towards Jazz as it looks like King is about to connect with a move but Jazz catches him and turns it into a power bomb driving King hard into the mat as Jazz falls to his knees as he looks down at bobby King’s prone body. Jazz gets to his feet pulling King up as he sets King up for Jazz Music

Harvey: This could be the end for Bobby king. Jimmy Jazz is going for Jazz Music right here.

3!!!DING! DING! DING!

Paige: Here’s your winner of the match. Jimmy Jazz!!!

Harvey: A good fight by both men, but I can't help but wonder where the Bobby King that we saw beat Mark Moment in his debut is. He doesn't seem to be the same man we saw in the ring this week.

Chase: It doesn't matter! Jimmy Jazz got the win!

Jazz gets his arm raised in victory as his arm candy goes up the steps and joins him in the ring to celebrate his win. Overdrive cuts backstage, where The Axis of Awesome are in the General Manger's Office, and Ellie is stretching, preparing for her match. She's dressed in purple shorts with a white tank top that has purple accents on it. Cyrus already has his referee shirt on. Biggs is royally steamed after his encounter with Level-One.

Biggs: Who does he think he is, telling me that the blood of the APW roster is on my hands? I offered him the one surefire way that he could get another shot at Pence, and he decides that he wants to be difficult. The fact is that he is responsible for his actions. If I give in to his demands, then I'd have to give into Pence's or Hellfire's or Lively's! He's going to have to learn that he can't bully his way into getting what he wants!

As Ellie finishes her stretches, she's beaming with pride.

Ellie: I can't believe that tonight's my first match! I've been dreaming of this ever since I started going on the road with you guys!

At this point, Biggs' frustration melts away, at least a little, seeing the excitement in Ellie's eyes.

Biggs: I couldn't be more proud of you than I am right now, Ellie. Tonight, you're going to go out there, and show that the Axis of Awesome doesn't contain just the most dominant duo in the APW, but also the most dominant female! Considering all the training and instruction I've been giving you, your opponent doesn't stand a chance!

Ellie: Speaking of my opponent, who is she?

Cyrus: I got that covered. In fact, she should be in here right about....now.

At this point, Cindy Shannon walks into the office, slightly confused.

Cindy: You two called me to your office...

Cyrus walks up and wraps an arm around Cindy's shoulder. She pushes it back with disgust, and wriggles away from Cyrus as best she can.

Cyrus: Biggs didn't call you, Cindy. I did. You see, Biggs' fiance here needs an opponent for tonight for her debut match, and in the interest of fairness, I thought that she should be facing another competitor making their debut tonight as well, namely, you.

Cindy: But I'm not a wrestler!

Cyrus: Well you are now, Cindy! And if you don't do it, well, I have the authority to fire you. Not that I'd want to fire such a sexy woman as yourself. Still, I wouldn't want you to force my hand.

Cindy: I won't do it! I can't do it!

Cyrus: If you want to keep your job, you will. Also, you'll be wearing this.

Cyrus hands Cindy a one-peice yellow swimsuit with the word's “I LOVE CYRUS” in orange across the belly. Cindy shakes her head in disgust. Cyrus has a sleazy grin across his face as Cindy snatches the swimsuit and stomps out of the locker room, obviously upset. Cyrus is still grinning from ear to ear as Ellie and Biggs have stern looks on their faces.

Biggs: The swimsuit was a little much, don't you think?

Cyrus: Actually, I think it was too much! She's not showing enough skin! HA!

The camera switches out o the announce table.

Harvey: That's just wrong! How dare they treat Cindy Shannon that way!t

Chase: No, it's oh so right! We get to Cindy wearing that get up, and wrestle! This is like a dream come true!

Harvey: You're just as sick as them! We'll be right back with more action after the break.

[biggs]

As we come back from commercial Dunpork is standing in the ring looking at J.R. Kingston as he enters the ring. The Red Shield Mafia music then cuts off as the two men stand opposite the ring of eachother. The ref stands in the center of the ring asking the men if they are ready to get it on. DING! DING! DING!

J.R. Kingston vs. George Dunpork

Harvey: Well we are set to have two big men go at it. And for once, the Red Shield Mafia won't be able to interfere, as the RSM and The Greatness have all been banned from ringside for this contest.

Chase: A couple of titans set to clash before our very eyes.

Harvey: What? That was so lame...

Chase: Don't worry about my sh*t just call the match.

Harvey: There's the bell and we are under way!!!

Kingston stares his opponent up and down as Dunpork steps up and plants both his hands on the chest of J.R.. With a mighty shove he pushes the man back and Kingston smiles as he rebounds with a solid right on the chin. J.R. then calls for an exchange of fists almost begging his opponent to rebound with a shot of his own. Dunpork does just that as he drops a right hand across the jawbone of J.R., the two men then exchange blows back and forth as the crowd pops with each back to back strike they trade. Dunpork having enough he kicks Red Shield Mafia memeber in the gut and drops him to the mat with a quick leg sweeping clothesline. He gets up rather fast and attemtps and elbow drop but his opponent was not sticking around for that as he rolled to safety and sprang to an upright position as well. As Dunpork meets his opponent he is hoisted up and driven to the mat with a spine buster slam by Kingston. The Kingpen hollars out with adrenlin after the impact he just drove his opponent into the city of pain with, and leaps upright. Waisting no time he offers up a few viscious stomps to the mans head before dragging him upright to his feet.

With serious force he Irish whips Dunpork back first into the corner then follows him in with a massive big boot to the face that rings out a thunderous crack sending the fans into a frenzy as they love the action before their eyes.

Harvey: Good God he almost took head off.

Chase: I thought for a moment Dunpork's head was going spin completely around.

The Kingpen steps aside as his opponet staggers forward in pain. J.R. quickly climbs to the top rope looking to possibly pull off a bulldog. As he leaps off the ropes toward his opponent Dunpork turns around with a spinning knee that connects right on the button with the Red Shield Mafia member. Kingston drops to the mat like a sack of potatoes as Dunpork leans back first against the ropes trying to gather his thoughts after taking some serious blows from his opponent before swing things around literally.

George Dunpork quickly drops down rolling the legs of his opponent up for a pin fall, 1

Kingstons reaches up grabbing the ropes breaking the count. Dunpork unhooks the legs and begins pumling the face of Kingston before getting back to his feet. He then calls for the man to rise and JR does just that. George offers up an eye poke, then scoops Kingston up on his shoulders. He turns charging across the ring for a Davey Boy Smith powerslam but Kingston slides out the back door and shooves the man into the turnbuckles face first. As Dunpork rebounds stepping back The Kingpen spins around like a tornando knocking the Texan out with a spinning backfist. Dunpork catches the nasty shot to the back of the head falls forward leaning on the middle rope. Kingston heads to the opposite side of the ring, springs off coming back at his opponent slides under the bottom rope and pays tribute to the late Big Bossman by planting a brutal uppercut on his already semi-unconscious opponent. Dunpork eats the shot rolls sideways off the ropes and lays flat on the mat. Kingston jumps up to the apron, leaps frogs over the top rope and snetons ontop of his opponent before rolling over and nailing a pin attemtp of his own, 1

Kickout by Dunpork. Kingston keeping the pace drags the man upright, backs up to the corner and before you know it he hoists the man up for a pile driver.

Chase: The Kings Reign...this is gonna hurt.

Kingston folds his opponent up in pain after his head impacts with the canvass.

Harvey: How did you know the name of that move?

Chase: It's called research Harv, research!!!

Kingston once again goes for the cover, 1

Dunpork again manages to break the pin by this time getting a shoulder up. Feeling a little frustrated Kingston stands up measuring his opponent as he staggers to his feet. Dunpork spins around and mounts an offensive of his own catching Kingston with a overhead belly to belly suplex. Kingston hits the mat arching his back from the impact felt. He gets to his feet as Dunpork is there dropping him with a charging tackle. As Kingston makes it up again Dunpork hosts him onto his shoulders and violently plants his with a Samoan drop. He drags the man to the corner setting him up against the turnbuckles ready to offer up a stinkface. Dunpork calls for a crowd response, and before he can do the deed Kingston shoves a leg upright parting the goal post legs of Dunporks.

Harvey: He racked the table there.

Chase: Tried to crush some grapes with that move.

Dunpork clutches at his junk as Kingston slides out of the ring grabbing at the man's ankles. Dunpork falls face first before getting yanks into the ring post apple bag first. Kingston climbs up to the top rope leaps into the as high as he can get and lands with sickening force on the back of Dunporks head with an elbow. The Kingpen springs to his feet feeling proud of his comeback and the amount of pain he just inflicted on the man ready to ass crack his face just moments ago. Kingston then drags Dunpork out and up to his feet with a handful of hair. He gets behind the man preparring to offer up another attack.

Chase: Here it comes....

Harvey: WELCOME TO HARLEM!!!

Chase: How did you...

Harvey: Internets Johnny, the internets!!!

Chase: It's INTERNET stupid, not NETS!!!

Kingston nails his backdrop driver on Dunpork and goes for the pin, 1

Foot on the ropes by Dunpork... Kingston slams his hands on the mat a few times in frustration. Both men make it to their feet and Kingston seems to be measuring the man for another Welcome to Harlem. As he hoists Dunpork into the air, them man shits his weight in mid air and drives Kingston face first tot he mat with an inverted bulldog. Dunpork scrambles to his feet and as Kingston rises the Sportz Nut charges his opponent going for a spear. The Kingpen rolls out of the way as Dunpork slams into the corner. He clutches at his shoulder backing up after missing his finisher. Kingston once again hoists the man up and drops him with a....

Harvey: ANOTHER WELCOME TO HARLEM!!!!

Chase: He has the legs hooked for the cover.

Chase: Even disregarding the match later tonight between Young Mannie and Shaun Kilgore, I got a feeling that these two factions still have unfinished business!

APW Overdrive comes back from a commercial break with Cindy Shannon already in the ring. She's wearing the demeaning swimsuit, but also has on a pair of orange shorts to give her legs a bit more coverage. She looks scared to death. At this point, the arena lights turn purple as Depehce Mode's “Enjoy the Silence” hits the speakers. Purple spotlights twirl about the stage and above the ring as Ellie enters the arena with Biggs and Cyrus flanking her on either side. The crowd boos her loudly as she poses proudly at the head of the ramp before making her way towards the ring. She's wearing her ring gear with purple shades and a ring jacket similar to Biggs', complete with purple feathers.

Paige: Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Biggs and the special guest referee Chris Cyrus, from Stanford, California, Ellie! And her opponent, already in the ring, Cindy Shannon!

Harvey: This is just sickening. Cindy Shannon just found out not five minutes ago that she's wrestling in a match right here, right now! She's not a trained wrestler! The only reason she's fighting tonight is so that Biggs could give Ellie an easy debut match! This is all about Ellie's vanity, and nothing more!

Chase: Come on! This is Ellie's debut match! It's only fair that she makes her debut against somebody else who's just debuting!

As the trio reaches the ring, Biggs holds the ropes open for Ellie, and she steps through them before Biggs and Cyrus slingshot themselves over the ropes into the ring in unison. Ellie stands in the center of the ring, and removes her shades and jacket, handing them to Biggs as he quickly kisses her hand before exiting the ring. Cyrus calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Ellie vs. Cindy Shannon

The crowd gets a “Let's go, Cindy! Let's go, Cindy!” chant going right off the bat, but it does little to calm Cindy's nerves. Cyrus blows her a kiss, and she gets distracted, allowing Ellie to come right in and kick her square in the midsection! As Cindy is hunched over, Ellie grabs a hold of her head and gives her a couple of knees to the skull before flipping her around to deliver the Dr. Teeth! As Cindy holds her face in pain on the mat, Ellie rolls her over onto her belly and applies a Chinlock, pulling back hard on Cindy's chin, torquing the neck and face! Cindy screams in pain, and is on the verge of tapping, but Ellie wants to have more fun, so she lets go and shoves Cindy's face hard into the mat before standing up and motioning for Biggs to hop up onto the apron. Biggs obliges, and Cyrus allows it. Ellie gives Biggs a peck on the cheek before turning her focus back to Cindy, stomping her mercilessly before grabbing her by the head and pulling her up to her feet. Ellie then whips the backstage interviewer into the corner, and follows up with a Running Clothesline! Cindy falls to seated position in the corner, and Ellie grabs a hold of the top rope, dragging her boot across Cindy's face to give her the Facewash! After a few passes, Ellie pulls Cindy up and drags her to the center of the ring, hunching her over to deliver the Last Dance (Playmaker)! Ellie goes for the cover, 1...2...3! DING! DING! DING!

Winner: Ellie

Paige: Here is your winner, by pinfall, Ellie!

Harvey: And mercifully, this one is over! Cindy had no business being put in this match, and the Axis should be ashamed of themselves!

Chase: No, they should be proud of Ellie! She came out here and dominated Cindy Shannon in her debut match! That has got to be one of the most impressive debuts I've ever seen!

Harvey: I'm going to have to disagree with you on that.

Biggs steps up into the ring, and gives Ellie a big hug. As they release the embrace, Cyrus raises her arm in victory, and she hops up and down excitedly. Biggs then holds the ropes open for Ellie as she exits the ring to loud boos, with Biggs following her out of the ring. Cyrus, however, stays back and stares down at Cindy, who's still out cold. He lets off his sleazy grin before exiting the ring and joining Biggs and Ellie as they head up the ramp. APW Overdrive goes to a commercial break.

[biggs]

Paige: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall!

AFI's “Misseria Cantare” blares loudly as Michael Lively and Jim Steel enter the arena to Lively's music. There's is obviously some tension between the two of them, as Lively struts and has his usual swagger, while Steel is all business.

Paige: Making their way to the ring first, at a combined weight of 555 pounds, the team of Jim Steel and the APW Xtreme Champion, Michael Lively!

Harvey: Somehow, I don't see these two getting along here tonight. Granted, it'd be hard to get along with Livley considering how big his ego is!

Chase: Lil' Dick gets along with Lively!

Harvey: Well, it makes sense, because they're both...

Chase: Hey, watch your mouth!

Harvey: I'm just talking about Lively!

The crowd continues to boo the two men as they head down towards the ring. As they reach the ring, Lively motions for Steel to hold the ropes open for him, but Steel ignores him, stepping in over the ropes. Lively then motions for the ref to hold the ropes open for him, which the ref obliges. Lively's music fades as “99 Ways to Die,” by Megadeath, hits the speakers. Hellfire and Mark Moment come out to a thunderous ovation from the crowd, and they are joined by the ever lovely Alyssa Morenna. The slap hands with the fans on their way down the ramp.

Paige: And their opponents, accompanied to the ring by “Lightning” Alyssa Morenna, at a combined weight of 401 pounds, the team of Mark Moment and the APW Overdrive Champion, Hellfire K.I.D!

Chase: So which team do you give the advantage to tonight, Harv?

Harvey: Well, I have to give it to Moment and Hellfire! They look like they're on the same page tonight, whereas Lively and Steel don't appear to be.

Chase: That's a crock! Lively is so great that he can overcome any deficiency caused by a lack of unity amongst Steel and himself!

Hellfire and Moment reach the ring and slide in. The ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Michael Lively and Jim Steel Vs Hellfire K.I.D and Mark Moment w/ Alyssa Morenna

Hellfire decides to start the match for their team and Lively and Jim are arguing on who should start and Lively then tell Jim to get on the apron. The bell rings and the match officially begins. Lively and Hellfire go in for a lock up and Lively kicks Hellfire in the gut Lively takes Hellfire and puts him in the corner and tags in Jim. Lively holds Hellfire as Jim gets into the ring and kicks Hellfire. Jim then lifts his foot up into the throat of Hellfire. The referee counts to 4 and Jim releases the choke before getting Disqualified. Jim takes Hellfire to the ropes and irish whips him. Hellfire runs back and Jim lifts Hellfire up for a body press, but Hellfire manages to get behind Jim and runs off the ropes and dropkicks Jim in the knee. Jim stays on his feet and Hellfire runs off the ropes again and jumps with a cross body, but Jim catches him. While holding Hellfire, Jim walks around the ring, taunting the crowd. Jim doesn’t realize that Mark is on the top rope and he comes off, nailing Hellfire in the back with a dropkick, and the momentum sends Jim falling backwards with Hellfire on top of him in a cover

Chase: Look at that raw power by Jim Steel.

Harvey: Indeed impressive.

Hellfire tags in Mark and as Jim gets to his feet, both Mark and Hellfire dropkicks the big man, who just stagers. Hellfire goes on all fours behind Jim and Mark runs off the ropes, hitting Jim with a spinning Heel kick and Jim falls backwards over Hellfire. Hellfire exit’s the ring and Mark gets on top for the cover

Kick Out by Mark.

Harvey: Lets keep in mind, that Mark and Hellfire will be fighting at Mayhem over the Overdrive Title, and also, Michael Lively and Jim Steel will fight at Mayhem for the Xtreme Title. So can these two stay on the same page this entire match?

Chase: I know Jim and Lively will, I can guarantee it.

Lively picks Mark up and chops him then throws him into the ropes and connects him with a dropkick. Lively throws Mark in the corner, next to Jim. Lively goes over and spits on Hellfire. Hellfire tries to get into the ring, but the ref stops him and Jim starts choking Mark in the corner while Lively spears Mark in the corner. Hellfire gets out of the ring, but the damage is already done. Lively tags Jim in who gets in the ring, picks Mark up and gives him a running shoulder breaker. Mark then crawls over to the middle rope and Jim taunts Hellfire in the ring and Lively, from the outside, begins pulling Mark’s throat over the middle rope. Hellfire gets out of the ring and starts cheering Mark on as Jim takes Mark, throws into the ropes and connects with a big boot to the face. Jim covers

Hellfire breaks the count.

Chase: Hellfire can’t be breaking up the count, the match should be over right now. Do your job ref!

Jim grabs Mark and throws him in the corner. Jim runs at Mark and Mark gets both his feet up in Jim’s face. Jim backs off and then charges at Mark again who moves out of the way and Jim hit’s the corner with his chest. Jim stumbles backwards out of the corner and faces the ropes. Mark comes off the ropes and dropkicks Jim in the back which sends him chest first into the ropes. Mark then runs off the ropes again and nails Jim with the 619. Jim falls into the ring and Mark waits on the ring apron. With him to his feet.

Harvey: it’s a whole new match now!

Jim grabs Hellfire by his hair from behind, But Mark is back and kicks Jim in the leg and then Hellfire and Mark punch Jim to the ropes and then the good guys both dropkick Jim, who just bounces off the ropes and falls to the mat and rolls to the ring apron. Mark and Hellfire look at Lively who is getting up. Lively charges at both of them, but they side step and Lively runs into Jim, knocking him off the ring apron.

Harvey: Lively is in trouble.

Chase: Come on Ref, this is double teaming, get one of them out of the ring.

Hellfire grabs Lively and sets him up with Lively’s head between his legs.

Chase: Michael Lively will not hesitate to hit her!

Lively pushes Hellfire to the mat and slowly begins walking towards Alyssa. Alyssa taunts Lively over and Lively takes a swing at her but Alyssa ducks.

Winner: Hellfire and Mark Moment

Mark’s Music begins to play and Hellfire, Mark and Alyssa celebrate their victory.

Harvey: A big win for these two tonight, and they will fight each other at Mayhem

Chase: They cheated. We need Chris Cyrus to referee all APW matches. He would have called this match down the middle! Steel is a Benedict Arnold, plain and simple! Lively would have won if it wasn't for Steel!

As the good guys celebrate, Jim Steel is seen walking up the ramp and Lively watches on and we go to commercial.

Overddrive comes back from a commrcial break with Kilgore and the Sports Nutz, along with “The Great Gordie” Gordon Heath already in the ring. Young Mannie's music is playing as he and the rest of the Red Shield Mafia enter the ring. There's a lot of animosity amogst the two groups, as The Sports Nutz eye down Valentine and Kingston. Even Heath is glaring at Damien Walker. The ref directs everyone except for the two competitors to exit the ring, so the match can begin. DING! DING! DING!

Shaun Kilgore w/The Sports Nutz vs. Young Mannie w/Red Shield Mafia

Shaun Kilgore and Young Mannie meet in the middle of the ring, with Young Mannie raising one arm in the air ready to engaged in a test of strength battle. Shaun Kilgore grins as he confidently, accepts clearly the stronger one between the two but Young Mannie is quick to kick Shaun Kilgore square the groin folding him over. The referee hassles, Young Mannie who just shoves the referee out of his way, picks up Shaun Kilgore and dumps him through the middle ropes onto the outside; where Valentine and Kingston immediately gang up, and stomp a mud hole into Shaun Kilgore!

Harvey: Oh come on! I'm not the biggest fan of Shaun Kilgore by any stretch of the imagination but the RSM gang mentality, is quite stomach turning to be quite honest!

Chase: Gang!? These are upstanding individuals! And no offence to the Sports Nutz but considering how old they are it's going to take them awhile to save their man!

The Sports Nuts make their way towards to Valentine and Kingston who watch them as they quickly pick up Shaun Kilgore, smash him back first into the barricade before whipping him back towards the ring apron as Young Mannie looks to pick up the scraps, hooking a single leg and placing both of his feet on the ring ropes, 1

Shaun Kilgore gets a shoulder up and the match continues!

The Sports Nutz have a few words for the Red Shield Mafia, who raise their hands, claiming to have no part in the beat down of Shaun Kilgore whatsoever; The Sports nuts make their way back to their side of the ring as Young Mannie plants Shaun Kilgore down to the mat with a cradle, DDT. Young Mannie looks down at Kilgore and smiles before walking over to the ropes and taunting the Sports Nutz, by placing a foot on the bottom rope, telling the old men to get in the ring and get a piece of the ass kicking, too.

Harvey: Young Mannie better stay focused on Shaun Kilgore inside the ring, he's no slouch, Chase.

Chase: It's not all about inflicting damage on your opponents, Harvey. Sometimes, show boating can really hurt the opponents confidence. This is a game just as mental as it is, physical.

Dunham and Mueller of the Sports Nutz look at each-other and give each-other a high five as Young Mannie hurls abuse to the duo. The sports nuts each grab a foot of Young Mannie trapping, him like a rat in a mouse trap. Young Mannie swings his arms trying, to get the Sports Nutz off of him but to no avail. Shaun Kilgore now onto his knees, plants a vicious low blow to the groin of Young Mannie, before wrapping his arms around him and driving him to the canvas with a vicious belly to back suplex which fold Young Mannie like an accordion. Shaun Kilgore follows it up, with a pin, 1

Thr.... not going to be enough as Young Mannie gets a shoulder up. Valentine and Kingston realize Young Mannie is in some trouble as they hop up onto the ring apron looking to distract Kilgore and it works; unfortunately, Valentine and Kingston pay for it as Kilgore springs off the ropes and takes out Valentine and Kingston with a double armed flying clothesline! Valentine and Kingston topple to the ring, apron removed from the in ring situation.

Harvey: Shaun Kilgore is heating up, Young Mannie better defuse him and defuse him fast if he wants to stand any chance on walking out here the winner!

Chase: Shaun Kilgore has turned his back on Young Mannie and Young Mannie is looking to be the nail in his coffin! Watch out!

Young Mannie catches Kilgore with a kick to the gut and looks to finish the match with the D.B.M but Young Mannie realizes George Dunham of the sports nutz is distracting the referee! The referee concerned by the ripe old age of George Dunham takes his heart attack claim, very seriously, apparently, so does Young Mannie who shoves Kilgore to the mat carelessly, and grabs the referee by his jersey.

Harvey: What the hell is going on around that ring?

Craig Mueller hops up on the apron after George Dunham hops off; and reaches into his fanny pack, slung around his waist! Criag Muller reaches over and sprays a dash of pepper spray into the eyes of Young Mannie right over the referees shoulder! Mueller high fives Dunham as he stashes the pepper spray back into his fanny pack.

Chase: A fanny pack? In 2010!? These guys are amazing!

Harvey: I admit. The fanny pack... nice touch, though I can't condone how it was used right here at all!

Young Mannie swipes at his eyes helplessly, allowing Shaun Kilgore to pick up the scraps, with easy, locking in and executing The Ender! The RSM try to get in the ring, but have their feet tugged out frim underneath them by the sports nutz. Kilgore cockily, hooks the leg, 1

Winner: Shaun Kilgore

Paige: Here is your winner, by pinfall, Shaun Kilgore!

Harvey: With that victory, The Greatness and the Red Shield Mafia split the difference here tonight. Still, the tension between these two stables is evident.

Chase: The conflict between The Greatness and the Red Shield Mafia is far from over!

Valentine and Kingston pull Mannie out of the ring as the Sports Nutz and Gordon Heath enter the ring to celebrate Kilgore's victory!

The camera cuts to backstage outside one of the locker-room doors. It opens up and the crowd erupts into a frenzy as Sally Talfourd nearly walks square into the camera. She pulls herself up short just in time before she takes it out, and messes up her outfit. That would be tragic!

Sally: Can't I even get a minute to myself? Like, not even five? Well, actually, maybe it's good that you're around. I'm off to find my partner so that we can, you know, trade make-up tips and talk about boys and giggle.

Cameraman: Wait ... what? Really?

Sally: Of course not! Are you serious? I wouldn't go talk to him about that: Bryan wouldn't know the first thing about make-up! We're going to go talk about our match. You know, strategise, put our minds together, figure some stuff out. It's going to so in-depth and mind-boggling that you're just going to have to come and watch this. A pair of geniuses meeting *Sally walks out the locker-room, heading down the hallway toward the mens' lockers* or is it genini? Or a pair of genius? I don't really know. I wonder if Bryan does?

Sally finds her way around the halls. As she goes she gets the glances of the odd few backstage hand. When I say 'the odd few' it's every male with a pulse. In her ring get-up though who can blame them. She eventually finds the mens' lockers and knocks. Polite, as always. And God know what she is liable to see should she just walk on in. Things that would scar her mind for life! She knocks again and who should open the door but Bryan Payne! What are the chances? Anyway, he gives Sally the once over.

Sally: Hey Bryan. Finish off this sentence for me: One genius, two ...

Bryan looked up from the wooden bench in his locker room and arched a single eyebrow for a moment at the question and then shook his head.

Bryan: Two people who didn't become wrestlers?

He muttered a few words under his breath into his iPhone and then ended whatever call he was on before standing up and closing his locker, putting his shades on being his last act in getting ready.

Bryan: But as entertaining as playing English is a weird language, I think we should keep out mind on the match at hand. Now I've seen enough of how Level operates to know he's about as interested in working as a team with his partner as Ricky Martin is in women. Yeah, wasn't that revealing information... so he came out of the closet? So what, everyone knew he was gay the minute the friggen video aired.

He rolled his eyes then stepped over the bench a little frown touching his forehead as he sized Sally up.

Bryan: So, we on the same page here? Embarrassed, flatten, and humiliate the competition for the viewing audience?

Sally looks up at Bryan. She shakes her head in disbelief. Not at Bryan. But at Level-One's ranting and Leila's bitching.

Sally: Embarrass, flatten, humiliate and more. They are both, like, so out of touch. I mean, you could have listened to Level-One and you'd have had no idea poor Leila is in his corner. Not that that really concerned me. I was busy getting all worked up over the ringing he gave me. *Sally puts on an obviously sarcastic act* He hurt my feelings! It took me hours to get over that. I even think my mascara ran I was crying so much. *Sally's face changes to apathetic* As if I hadn't heard his kind of thing before.

Sally moves to stand beside Bryan and throws an arm around his shoulders. Of course, all six-foot one of Bryan is a bit hard to reach for Sally, so she is up on the tips of her toes.

Sally: I think we're going to set a good example tonight of a pair of mismatches that aren't, you know, a team exactly but can come together for a night and really show the fans out there what true wrestling is. We don't need to over-complicate things like Leila is, and her lessons and messages. And we're not going in this to try and show off how tough and over-the-top we are like Level-One. You and me, Bryan. We'll get it this done. Right?

Bryan smirked ever so faintly and then worked to suppress it from turning into a grin, which he failed to do.

Bryan: Level-One wrote a check he couldn't cash when he pulled that cheap stunt at Survive and Conquer, now.. I'm here to take payment out of his hide... yeah ST, these two are going down the hard way. But tell me this, this Leila chick... is she ac-

He pauses blinking as he looks down at Sally.

Bryan: Did you actually put on makeup to go wrestle?

Tech: Talford, Payne... five minutes!

Sally and Bryan are caught off-guard. As the tech guy rushes off to his next assignment, Sally and Bryan head out as well. Sally primps her clothes, making the last adjustments that she needs, as Bryan finds his 'zone'. Sally laughs to herself as they walk along.

Bryan: What is it?

Sally: Well, what you said. Asking if I wear make-up to the ring. I guess you do know something about make-up. *The two stop as they reach the last stages before they have to head out to the ring. Sally ever-so-gentle places a hand on Bryan's shoulder, looking up at him with a not-so gentle look* Let's go out and get this done. Make a name for ourselves. Take it all the way?

Bryan: All the way.

The two then begin to make their way towards the gorilla position.

Harvey: It'll be Bryan Payne and Sally Talfourd going up against Level-One and Leila Faharri after the break!

[biggs]

APW Overdrive comes back from a commercial break, with the camera focused on Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase at the announce table. Bury Your Dead's “Sympathy Orchestra” is blaring throughout the arena as the Mayhem logo flashes across a red background on the tron.



Harvey: Folks, be sure to mark your calenders for Sunday, May 23, for our annual Mayhem event, live on pay per view from Tacoma, Washington! It's been taking shape the past few weeks, and as we come ever closer to the event, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

At this point, the screen transitions from the Mayhem logo to profile shots of Hellfire K.I.D. with his APW Overdrive Championship slung over his shoulder, and Alyssa Morenna behind him. Opposite of Hellfire is Mark Moment, striking his wide grin.

Chase: Mark Moment gets a chance at Hellfire K.I.D.'s Overdrive Championship! Hellfire K.I.D. has been a fighting champion since gaining the Overdrive Title in the Fatal Fourway Ladder Match at RassleMania, but this will be his first one-on-one match with Mark Moment with the title on the line. Can Hellfire successfully defend, or will Mark's fans get to have a Mark Out Moment?!

The screen then shifts to the Red Shield Mafia with Damien Walker behind them with Shaun Kilgore and the Sports Nutz on the opposing side.

Harvey: This next match was just added to the card following tonight's events where The Red Shield Mafia and The Greatness essentially split their contests, leading to a Six Man Elimination Tag Match at Mayhem! These two factions are both trying to assert themselves here in APW as the most dominant faction, and whichever team comes out on top in Tacoma will go a long ways in establishing themselves!

Sally Talfourd and Leila Farrahi are shown on the screen.

Chase: Also at Mayhem, Leila Farrahi and Sally Talfourd look to resolve some unfinished business with one another! Their hatred for each other is so big that not even the closing down of their old wrestling organization could stop them from settling things once and for all in an APW ring!

The video on the screen shatters as the APW Xtreme Championship is zoomed right into the camera. As the “shards” fall, Michael Lively and Jim Steel's pictures are shown, Lively striking the Jesus pose with the Xtreme Championship over his shoulder. Jim Steel looks as serious as a heart attack in his photo and the words Hardcore Match for the APW Xtreme Championship are at the bottom of the screen.

Harvey: Also in Tacoma, Jim Steel gets the biggest opportunity in his APW Career, taking on Michael Lively for the APW Xtreme Championship! Lively has held onto the belt since Christmas Chaos, and not many people are giving Steel much of a chance against The JESUS. Still, these matches are decided in the ring, not on paper, and I, for one, think that Jim Steel will do everything he can to rise to the occasion!

The screen then switches to pictures of Level-One and Bryan Payne.

Chase: Just added to the card tonight is an absolutely huge match between Level-One and APW newcomer Bryan Payne! Payne has shown himself to be a big time player in a relatively short amount of time, but this feud stems from Level-One's attack on Payne following his match last week against Pence Weatherlight! Payne will be looking for vengeance, but can he claim it against a man whom many consider to be the most complete wrestler in APW today?

The APW Heavyweight Championship zooms in to the screen, followed by images of Pence Weatherlight and John Green.

Harvey: And then, of course, there's our main event! Pence Weatherlight defends his newly acquired APW Heavyweight Championship against John Green! Pence overcame the odds by beating Level-One for the belt at RassleMania, but his first defense comes against a man who has been undefeated since returning to APW at that same event!

Chase: John Green is hungry to taste gold again in APW, but he's going to have to get through the two time champion, Pence, to do gain it!

Harvey: Folks, do whatever you can to find out how to order this sure to be explosive event! Call your cable or satellite provider or go to APW.com to find out how you can join us for Mayhem! You don't want to miss it! Now it's time for our main event match of the evening!

Paige: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall!

The crowd is buzzing with anticipation for the coming match. On cue, the lights take on a blue tinge and “Starstrukk,” by 3OH!3 hits the speakers. This sets the crowd off: everyone knows who this is leading up to. As the song bursts to life, out races Sally Talfourd, racing to the front of the stage. Raising her hands to the crowd, she kicks her leg and heads towards the ring, slapping hands with the crowd that hangs over the rails for her.

Paige: Making her way to the ring first, from Seattle, Washington, Sally Talfourd!

Harvey: This will be Talfourd's in-ring debut here in APW, and I for one, can't wait to see what she's got!

Chase: You sly dog! I'm in total agreement, if you know what I mean!

Harvey: Unfortunately, I do, but I didn't mean it that way, you perv, I meant it in regards to her wrestling acumen!

Chase: Sure, if that's what you want to tell yourself.

Sally stands at the base of the steps to the ring, waving to the crowd as she is announced. When that's done, she dashes up the steps, hoists herself over the top ring and bounces to the center of the ring. Poses for the crowd as the lights return to normal and the music fades out. The crowd still cheers for the adorable Sally as she starts to stretch for the match.



Sevendust's “Enemy” blares as Bryan appears from underneath the tron, a little smirk displayed from underneath his shades. A Butterfly Bandage is seen above his eye, where Level-One split him open last week. He pauses looking out over the crowd while he says something that's lost in the noise from the people and the music and then starts to head down towards the ring. He pauses along the way to clasp a few hands of fans hanging out over the edge of the crowd barrier.

Paige: And her partner, weighing in at 215, from Tokyo, Japan, “The Revelation” Bryan Payne!

Harvey: Payne may have suffered his first ever loss on American soil last week to Pence Weatherlight, but I got to say that he looked darn impressive even in defeat!

Chase: I wouldn't be surprised to see Payne challenge for the APW Heavyweight Championship belt in the not so distant future, but after Level-One gets his shot, of course!

Bryan grabs a hold of the bottom rope and leverages himself up onto the ring apron, turning around to face the ramp where his opponent will soon appear and points back towards it. He looks out over the crowd again and waves his arms into the air encouraging them to be louder still, and then grins as he ducks under the top rope and into the ring slapping his chest with a single fist several times and gives Sally a quick dap as they await their opponents.

'Astronaut' by Amanda Palmer comes over the arena, the lights fading down to a low light. Suddenly the crowd is engulfed in a wave of green light before Leila walks onto the stage, bathed in the glow of a spotlight. She looks up above her, then raises her hands slightly as the lights return to normal. She walks down to the ring, ringing her hands as she goes; focused on the match, ignoring the nobodies boo-ing her as she passes them.

Paige: And their opponents, first, from Tehran, Iran, Leila Faharri!

Harvey: Leila seems to have a huge chip on her shoulder, not only in her feud with Sally, but with most everyone here in APW! She's trying to cram her beliefs down everyone's throats and hold everyone to her moral standards!

Chase: I agree with her conviction, if not with her principles! Leila Faharri isn't going to pander to the lowest common denominator, she's going to be true to herself first and foremost!You gotta respect that!

Harvey: It's one thing to have your beliefs, it's another thing to try and force them upon others!

She walks up the steps, steps through the ring and looks to the skies again. After a moment's pause, she casts a mocking look over the crowd before she removes her khimar, folding it and handing it over to the official. She flicks her hair out a few times then rolls her shoulders over a few times, warming up for the 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 both of his arms high in the air.

Paige: And her partner, weighing in at 273 pounds, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Level-One!

Harvey: Level-One has been on a reign of terror as of late, trying to force his way into a title match! I actually have to give Biggs credit for not giving in.

Chase: It's not that Biggs doesn't want to give Level-One a rematch with Pence, it's that according to the contract Level-One signed for the Iron Man match at RassleMania dictated that Level-One does not get a rematch! This whole issue is all President Jeff's fault!

Level-One 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, raising his arms high in the air. Level-One hops down, and awaits for the fight in-front of him. Payne is chomping at the bit to go at it with Level-One, so Sally and Leila step out of the ring as the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Bryan Payne & Sally Talfourd vs. Level-One & Leila Faharri

Right as the bell rings, Payne is right on Level-One, rushing at him with a few well placed European Uppercuts, staggering Level-One slightly before giving him a Dropkick to the Knee! As Level-One kneels down, Payne runs towards the ropes and sprigs off, nailing Level-One with a Spring Board Spinning Kick as Level-One stands back up, taking him down to the mat! Payne immediately grabs a hold of Level-One's leg, looking to go for a Single Leg Crab, but Level-One kicks him off! Level-One begins to sit up, but is greeted with a Short Dropkick to the face by Payne! The fans are in a frenzy as Payne again goes for the Single Leg Crab, this time turning Level-One over! As he pulls back on Level-One's leg, the former APW Champion pushes up, and uses his leg strength to flip Payne off of him!

Chase: Level-One powered his way out of that move!

Harvey: Payne's trying to make Level-One pay for last week, but he hasn't worn Level-One down nearly enough to be able to get a submission locked in!

Payne rolls through up to his feet, and as Level-One tries to get up, Payne's on him like a pitbull, stomping him repeatedly before reaching down to pull him up! Level-One shoves him back, and gets to a vertical base, grabbing a hold of Payne's arm and pulling him in for a Flipping Clothesline! The cheers immediately die out as Level-One pulls Payne up to a seated position, and gives him a couple of mocking slaps to the back of the head, yelling at him to get up. The boos come fast and furious as Level-One pulls Payne up by the head, mocking him the whole way before putting him in position and delivering a thunderous Powerbomb! Level-One goes for a cover, 1

Payne gets a shoulder up! Level-One stays on the attack, pulling Payne up and whipping him towards the ropes, catching him in for a Belly-to-Belly Suplex!

Payne kicks out again!

Harvey: You know, I've never seen that work, where a wrestler gets a two count, punches the guy some more, and then goes for another cover right away.

Chase: Level-One knows that he's not going to beat Payne on that, but rather, he's forcing Payne to expend as much energy as he can in the early goings of the match. Payne's style is high speed, high octane, and he can't perform at his best with an empty tank. Level-One knows what he's doing.

Level-One pulls Payne up by the head, giving him a few kicks to the midsection before whipping him violently into his and Leila's corner! Level-One gets a running start and hits with a Running Body Splash! He then tags in Leila.

Harvey: Remember folks, this is a Mixed Tag Match, not an Intergender Tag Match. That means the women can fight the men, and visa versa.

As Payne is trapped in the corner, Leila gives him a few stiff Side Kicks and Knees to the gut before Snapmaring him out of the corner! She then gives him a couple of Knee Drops to the midsection and then turns to her corner, popping up real quick to go for a Split Legged Moonsault! She nails it, 1

Payne barely gets a shoulder up! Leila stays on focus, floating into a Triangle Armbar in a flash! Payne show's no signs of giving up, though, so she lets go with one arm, and extends her hand out to Level-One to make a tag! He tags in, and gives Payne a few stomps to the bread basket as Leila lets go of the hold and exits the ring. He then pulls Payne up and whips him hard chest first into the corner! Level-One then grabs a hold of Payne's waist band, pulling him out of the corner a bit before delivering a crushing Punch to the kidneys, pushing Payne into the turnbuckle! Level-One continues to target the kidneys of Payne, hitting him multiple times before pulling him out of the corner to deliver an Orton Backbreaker! As Payne holds his back in pain, Level-One goes for another cover, 1

Sally breaks the count!

Chase: Level-One and Leila have been laying a beating on Payne here tonight, thus far!

Harvey: Payne needs to make a tag as soon as he can!

The ref escorts Sally out of the ring as Level-One reaches down and gets a Chokehold on Payne behind the ref's back, yelling to Payne, “I should be the main event, not you!” This draws loud boos from the crowd, and Sally points for the ref to look behind him, but the ref foolishly persists in forcing her to leave the ring, allowing Level-One to continue to choke the life out of Payne! He lets go right as the ref is about to turn back around, and goes for a cover, 1

Payne somehow digs deep and kicks out!

Harvey: Payne's not going to let Level-One steal this one!

Sally is on the apron, clapping her hands together, encouraging the crowd to join in to will Payne on! Level-One has the familiar scowl across his face as he begins to pull Payne up, but Payne gives him a European Uppercut on the way up, knocking the former champ back a bit! Payne gets to his feet, and rolls under the attempted Clothesline, reaching his corner to make the desperation tag to Sally Talfourd! The crowd comes alive as he makes the tag!

Harvey: And here comes our first chance to see Sally Talfourd in action here in APW!

Chase: It's just too bad for her that it's against Level-One!

Sally comes in like a house of fire, and jumps up on the run to catch Level-One with a Hurricarana! As he's on his way back up, she connects with a Spinning Wheel Kick, taking him back down! She then mounts him and pulls his head up with one arm, giving him a series of Repeated Forearm Shots to the face before he shoves her off! Level-One gets right up to his feet, and whips Sally into the ropes, catching her with a vicious Big Boot on the rebound! He then pulls her back up, and drags her to his corner, where he holds her in a Side Headlock while tagging in Leila. The crowd boos as Leila gives Sally a hard kick to the midsection as Level-One lets go, following up with a Double Handed Chop right to the chest of her bitter rival! As Sally is hunched over, Leila hits her with the Blood Flow (Sitout Facebuster), and goes for a pin, not even a one count! Leila stays on the attack, rolling Sally onto her belly before locking in a Seated Surfboard! Leila has a sick smile on her face as she hears the screams of pain coming from Sally! Leila is yelling at her to give up, but Sally shows great resolve, refusing to tap out! After a bit, Leila releases the hold, and pulls Sally to her feet. She gives her a vicious Kick to the side before whipping her to a neutral corner with such force that it causes Sally to hit the turnbuckle and then stumble out of the corner! As she does, Leila is right there to deliver a brutal Facebreaker DDT! She hooks the leg, 1

Chase: Leila and Level-One have been in firm control pretty much this entire match! Talfourd and Payne better hope they can get something going, and soon, otherwise, it's simply a matter of time before Leila and Level-One put them down for good!

Harvey: As much as I hate to agree with you, Chase, I have to. Level-One and Leila Faharri are simply too dangerous of competitors to be able to withstand their onslaught for very long.

As Leila reaches down to pull Sally up, Sally catches her off guard, grabbing her in for a Small Package, 1

Level-One begins to enter the ring to break the count, but Payne rushes in and cuts him off at the pass, nailing him with a Flying Forearm right as he's entering the ring to send them both spilling to the floor!

Winner: Bryan Payne & Sally Talfourd

Paige: Here are your winners, by pinfall, Sally Talfourd and Bryan Payne!

Harvey: And just like that, it's over! That came from out of nowhere!

Chase: Sally caught Leila off guard tonight!

Leila is in shock in the ring, sitting there while the ref raises Sally Talfourd's arm in victory. Sally is all smiles, but Leila doesn't let the moment last for long, attacking her from behind with a hard Forearm Shot to the back of the head, sending Sally to the mat! She then pulls Sally up and gives her the Bedrood, drawing loud boos from the fans! Leila stands over her downed rival, seething with anger for a few moments before leaving Sally laying there in the ring. Outside the ring, Payne and Level-One don't even notice that the match is over, continuing to go at with an intense fervor! Level-One gives Payne a swift kick to the junk, giving him the opportunity to throw Payne over the barricade and into the crowd! Level-One follows him out there, and sits him up, ripping off the butterfly bandage and proceeding to pummel him repeatedly until Payne is busted open again! This enrages Payne, who shoves Level-One back first hard into the barricade! Payne is on him like stink on poo, giving him some rapid fire punches to the face! Level-One reaches up and gets a hold of Payne's throat, and flips him around to where Payne's back is against the barricade! As Level-One is choking the life out of Payne, a fan in the third row foolishly grabs his chair and folds it up, attacking Level-One!

Chase: What is this fan thinking!? He's going to get ejected!

Harvey: I think he has bigger things to worry about other than getting ejected, namely, Level-One!

Unfortunately for the rotund fan, he swings like a little girl, and the blow does nothing more than piss Level-One off royally! Level-One lets go of Payne's throat, and turns towards the fan, nailing him with a Big Boot to the head! As the fan goes down, Level-One bolts onto him, and begins to unload on the idiotic fan, beating him up real good! During the fracas, Payne regains some of his composure, and picks up the fan's chair, whistling to get Level-One's attention. As Level-One gets up and turns around, he's greeted with a Steel Chair to the head, busting him wide open! Payne goes to mount him, and lifts his head up slightly, punching the open wound, trying to expand it! By this point, the refs and security have made their way ringside. They pull Payne off of Level-One, and as they try to help Level-One up, he shoves them away, and goes right back at Payne, tackling him and taking the security guards down with him! One of the guards can be seen in the background pulling the beaten fan to his feet and cuffing him before heading towards the exit. Meanwhile, the two men are rolling around on the ground, trading blows while the security guards try desperately to break them up! Try is the operative word as they can't pull the two men apart as hard as they try, because Level-One and Bryan Payne are so intent on hurting each other!

Harvey: It's flat out pandemonium at ringside! Hopefully security can get this under control!

[biggs]

Harvey: Welcome back to Overdrive folks! As you saw before the break, Level-One and Bryan Payne were going at like cats and dogs, and during the break, they managed to get to their feet and continue to brawl towards the backstage area. We've been told that everything is under control, and that the show must go on.

The camera cuts live to a well decorated ring in front of countless thousands of fans cheering. They know not what to expect or what is going to happen tonight, but they know for a fact that it is going to be exciting. As the fans begin to murmur, wondering what is going to happen next, the action-tron bursts to static, and "Everything" by Pillar hits the PA. The fans get to their feet and applaud their champion as he appears on the entrance ramp wearing a black suit and a red tie, his championship belt hanging tightly around his shoulder. Pence raises his championship into the air as two blue pyros jump up from both sides of the entrance ramp, clearly satisfied with the effect, Pence makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with fans, and posing for pictures.

That is when Matt Weatherlight appears at ring side, out of the crowd no less, with a microphone in his hands, and a smile on his face he begins to speak.

Matt: Making his way to the ring now...he is the host of the Main Event Buzz and your APW World Heavyweight Champion....PENCE WEATHERLIGHT!

The fans grow even louder as Pence gets inside the ring and takes the microphone from his son after giving him a few words. For a moment Pence just takes it all in and gestures at the fine furniture. After taking a few moments to absorb the applause, Pence begins to talk.

Pence: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Main Event Buzz and man do we have a show for you guys tonight! But first things first...I would like to say thanks to Biggs, I guess he can do one thing right once in a while, huh?

The fans get a laugh and Pence's face bursts out into a grin as he sits down on one of the leather chairs which had been placed there just before the Main Event Buzz began. Pence leans back and wiggles around a bit, clearly enjoying the chair before continuing.

Pence: I hope you all have enjoyed tonights festivities...because I sure as hell have...a bit....alright I was bored and couldn't wait to come out here and talk to you all. So sue me! Jeeze, you guys really know how to get a person to spill his guts. Anyways, here we are folks, the christening show of the Main Event Buzz and as I said we have a great show for you...tonight we have two highlight reels! One of my own and one of my number one contender. Then we have the part of the segment that will be known as "Five Questions", three of which are made by fans like you to our guest tonight...oh and did I forget to tell you who our guest is? Well...prepare to be dazzled by our guest for the night!

Pence begins to point at the entrance ramp, the smile growing wider.

Pence: Right about...

His finger finally points at the entrance ramp fully and Pence chuckles.

Pence: Now!

"King Nothing" by Metallica blasts through the P.A. system and the crowd hits their feet as John comes out ,with a mic at hand, wearing his normal backstage attire that consists of his "The Retribution Killer" shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He smiles as he stands in front of the entrance ramp and does his trademarked "Retribution" pose and the crowd goes wild. John walks down the ramp with a smile on his face as he slaps some of the hands of fans and stops. John raises the mic and begins to speak.

Green: Before we begin this little highlight reel I just want to let everyone know that it is an honor for me to be here tonight. I know me and Pence weren't the best of friends back before I left but I am a changed man. And hopefully tonight will change our relationship as enemies, Pence.

Green then makes his way into the ring and Pence gives him an awkward eye brow raise.

Pence: I guess another enemy wants to cross the divide, eh? Alright...I'm down with it.

As John Green enters the ring, Pence's personal security force appears around the ring...men in black masks with barb wire club. John looks back at them in confusion waves it off.

Pence: I'm not having a repeat performance of last week. The masked men security force will protect me from that sort of thing and ensure you are safe for the entirety of this interview.

Green: Don't you think it is a little much?

Pence chuckles and shakes his head.

Pence: Have you ever watched you and your friend be pummeled by a steel chair by a dick on a mission?

Green: Good point.

Pence: Damn right it is!

The fans chuckle as John takes his seat opposite of Pence in a leather chair of his own, Pence begins to laugh as John does the same thing he did.

Pence: You know they recline too.

Green: No kidding?

Pence: Only the best, dude. Only the best....anyway, the fans tonight are going to see quite the interesting display of highlight reels...I think it would be safe to say yours will come first. I have no intention of being arrogant and such.

Green: Much obliged.

Pence:Roll the reel, Madok.

A voice comes out over the PA as the arena goes dark and the action-tron bursts to static.

Voice: How do you work this bloody thing....press what button? That one? Seriously? You couldn't have just said press the red flashing button instead of trying to describe it to me for two minutes? Fuck it, I have a reel to roll....the mic is on isn't it...Why didn't you fucking tell me it was on!?

Pence: Madok...roll the God damn clip!

The fans let out a bunch of laughs as Madok lets out a sigh of defeat and as he does the screen comes to life."King Nothing" plays the whole time as images of John Green training and wrestling in the EWC are seen, his epic matches that took place on Brawl, his championship reigns, and any other merritable achievements he had. Finally it shows him appearing on Overdrive for the first time, quickly rising the ranks to become a champion, and then his disappearance. The screen goes black, but bursts back to the image of the Rasslemania banner, and then to the image of John Green appearing in the Battle Royale and then winning it. Followed up by John Green decimating Michael Lively to become the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. The reel ends abruptly as Pence nods his head and the fans begin to cheer. Pence waits a few seconds until it calms down before speaking.

Pence: Pretty good shit you have there.

Green: Thanks...I don't know if it came out the way that I wanted it, but it did look decent I suppose.

Pence: I guess the fans want to see mine now, huh?

The fans get loud as Pence shrugs his shoulders and then speaks loudly into the microphone again.

Pence: Roll the second reel, Madok.

This time there is no pause as the action-tron is lit up with Pence Weatherlight's first appearance in wrestling on HcW, which quickly changes to his first big break in a match against Gladiator where he claims the North American title for himself. Then comes the image of Pence leaving the EWC, clearly heart broken, and uninterested in what the EWC is selling. Then it shows images of Pence laying around, drinking his sorrows away, and as it gets to the point of him being a drunken degenerate his friend, James Snyder, shows up, and saves him from himself. The scene changes to Nick and Pence beginnings in the APW and Pence's quick rise to fame in the APW. His first APW World Heavyweight title match is not far away and the fans cheer as they see Pence standing over Level One with the World Heavyweight title. Then it speeds through two heartbreaking defeats against Level One and then to Christmas Chaos where Pence pinned Biggs and became Overdrive Champion. Then it shows Pence's attack and the Masked Man attacking Level One repeatedly, and then finally the big reveal...Pence as the Masked Man. Then the fiery match between the two heated rivals...Pence vs. Level One at Rasslemania VI and the cooling conclusion where Pence is shown raising his title over his head. The fans give Pence a standing ovation as the images on the screen fade to black, Pence applauds the fans, and then gets up out of his chair and takes a bow before sitting back down.

Green: Nice stuff... a little flashy and a bit longer than mine.

Pence: It is only because I have had more money to fling at it, but that doesn't matter...it is just a reel. Nothing more...nothing less and speaking of more! It is time for "Five Questions!

The fans cheer louder as Pence pulls out some note cards from his right pocket and then looks at John Green.

Pence: Alright, John...this part of the segment is where I ask you five questions...three from the fans around the world and two from myself. Are you ready?

Green: Yes, I'm always ready.

Pence nods his head and lifts the first card off of his lap.

Pence: This question is from Luke Alder from Topeka, Kansas....John Green, how does it feel returning to the ring only a few weeks ago, and how does it feel to receive such a high honor in becoming the number one contender to the APW World Heavyweight Championship at Mayhem? That was two questions, Luke...but I will let it slide.

Green: Well Luke, it is truly an honor. I mean usually I'm the man that everyone likes to try and make me their big start-offs on but this is not the time. Before I returned I vowed that this will be MY time to shine no matter who I have to take out to become the best. With all due respect Pence, I vow to honor those words.

Pence shakes his head and lets out a laugh.

Pence: I'm so going to enjoy this match, just to let you know. Sorry for the laugh, I'm just enjoying myself...I mean for the first time I guess I can be a civil champion and to hear my opponent actually say they respect me is honestly a surprise...guess that is what happens when you fight a cock sucker for over a year, eh?

John nods his head and shrugs his shoulder. Pence puts down the first card and then picks up the second one.

Pence: This is a question from Brittany Sanchez from Orlando, Florida...Are you nervous going into the big Main Event at Mayhem or are you completely prepared to fight Pence for his title?"

Green: You are the athlete that does deserve his spot as the top man in APW. I will give you that Pence. You are a talented, phenomenal, and incredible wrestler. But things that go up, always come down, Pence. I would be a undedicated man to say that I don't have what it takes to take that title away from you. I am prepared for anything that steps into the way of my goal.

Pence: Even if it is a mountain...got to love your dedication. But I have to comment that a long time ago you thought I was shit on the bottom of your shoe. So excuse me if I feel a bit...suspicous.

Pence gives the fans a comical shrug and they laugh as Pence drops the second card and pulls up the third card, the last question of the fans abroad.

The final fan questions is here and it is from Chad Murray of Nashville, Tennessee. Pence Weatherlight has defeated Level One, Bryan Payne, and Biggs...some would say that he is the most talented wrestler in the world, but my question to you is...how do you plan on walking out as champion at Mayhem with Pence standing in your path?

Green: To be honest I could care less who is on your sheet of wins. I don't care who you have faced. I will come with on intention in my mind and that is "WIN". Personally, I feel that I am the better man. I just have to come in and show you all that I am the breakout superstar of this year. I understand that you may think that this answer may be cocky, but in my mind it is confidence. No one in this world can tell me different in words.

Pence doesn't say a word, but the smile has slipped from his face, and clearly he is unamused by the statement. He continues his silence as he drops the card and picks up the fourth one.

Pence: I have to ask John...how does one like yourself come into the wrestling business here in APW? I know a lot of people know, but it was before my time and I would like to hear your reasons for coming here to APW.

Green: My reason on coming here was simple, Pence. I wanted to improve my skills. It was one thing to fight in EWC, but to test my strengths and differences in another company really challenged me.

Pence: Surely you have improved your skills, but will it be enough for Mayhem. In my opinion it won't be, but we will see, right?

John goes silent on this one and Pence's smile returns as he has silenced John Green. He drops the fourth card and then picks up the final one as he begins to rap up this part of the segment.

Pence: John, my last question to you is...what do you fight for? I feel that every wrestler fight for a reason, so what is yours?

John doesn't respond right away and after about a few seconds Pence taps him on the shoulder.

Pence: Hello?

Green: Sorry! I was just thinking of an answer that would be suitable. You see Pence, fighting is everything to me. I wouldn't have been as close to being successful as I am right now if I hadn't chose to wrestle. I used to fight for the wrong reasons in life before my departure from the APW. But while I left I finally realized that caring for these fans are as just as important as to me as it is to be the best wrestler there is. I honestly think that the people at home are my motivation. I have almost no one left in my life that could care for me anymore. When I step out into the ring and the thousands of fans cheer my name, I don't know. I feel the adrenaline rushing through me as these people push me to be a better wrestler.

Pence's smile broadens and then he puts the microphone to his lips.

Pence: And I guess that means you find out why I do what I do, eh?

Green: I guess so.

Pence pats him on the back as he stands up and looks out across the masses, enjoying the signs of support he is getting.

Pence: So how do you like the show, folks? Was it good enough for you?

The fans are chanting "Mr. Main Event" it can be clearly heard all around the arena and even outside perhaps. Pence nods his head.

Pence: Maybe I will do this more often. It is pretty fun and maybe next time I will go expand on it! What do you guys thinks?

Pence can hear a unanimous yes from around the arena and as he does he slips out of the ring, leaving John by himself.

Pence: Well that is all folks! See ya all next week, here on Overdrive...hopefully I will be in action! Who knows!? See ya folks!

At this point, “Spaceman,” by The Killers, hits the speakers, and Biggs makes his way out onto the ramp. The fans boo him loudly as Pence and Green look up at him, wondering why he's come. Biggs has a mic in hand, and waits for his music to fade down a bit before speaking.

Biggs: Oh, isn't this just the picture of class, you two gladhanding one another and sucking up in that ring. You two talk a lot about respecting one another and the fans, but I don't buy it, not one bit!

The crowd boos this comment, while Pence and Green both have perturbed looks on their faces.

Biggs: The fact of the matter is that the two of you are both wearing masks, pretending to be people that in all actuallity you really aren't. Pence, I know that for all your posturing and declaration of your love for the fans, you are easily the most selfish, self-centered man I have ever met! And John Green, despite your supposed respect for Pence, I know that you desperately want to validate your career by becoming APW Heavyweight Champion just one more time, and that you're willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that. So that is why for next week's Overdrive, I am allowing the two of you to pick the other's opponent, right here right now!

The fans cheer at this announcement. Pence and Green look at one another, and nod respectfully before turning their attention back to Biggs.

Biggs: Pence, since you're champion, I'll let you pick first. Remember, you can pick anyone on the APW roster...

Pence doesn't even hesitate to answer.

Pence: Anyone, you say? Well, the obvious pick would be to have John Green face off against Level-One next week, but I too much respect for John Green to put him through fighting that dick. Level-One doesn't deserve it. So that in mind, my pick for John Green's opponent is somebody whom I feel not only deserves to be in the main event, but is another man whom I can respect, and that is none other than Bryan Payne!

The fans pop at this announcement, and Green has a slight smirk across his face as he thinks about Pence's choice.

Biggs: Okay, John. Your turn.

Green still has a smirk across his face as he turns towards Pence and talks.

Green: Actually, I was going to pick Bryan Payne to be your opponent. I guess great minds think alike. But considering that you beat me to the punch, I guess instead of giving you a match with somebody you can respect, I'll just have to give you an opponent that you'll enjoy getting to fight, and so my pick is Biggs!

Biggs' eyes get wide as the fans cheer loudly, and Pence gives Green a high five.

Pence: I like that pick, John! I really do!

Biggs: Absolutely not! I will not take part in that match! You'll have to make another pick, Green!

Pence: But you said he could pick anybody on the roster, and last time I checked, you're still on the roster.

Biggs: (stammering) I-I-I-I m-m-meant anybody except for me, Cyrus, and Ellie! You have to make another pick, Green!

The fans start chanting “Bullcrap! Bullcrap! Bullcrap!” Biggs is irritated by the chant, while Pence and Green join in with the fans.

Biggs: I'm the General Manager, I'm the one in charge, and what I say goes! Now make another pick, John Green, or I'll pick for you!

Green: Okay, you want another pick, here's my pick, Michael Lively!

The fans pop with this announcement.

Biggs: So next week, it'll be Pence Weatherlight versus Michael Lively and John Green versus Bryan Payne!

Harvey: It should have been Pence Weatherlight versus Biggs, if you ask me!

Chase: Well nobody asked you! In any event, two huge matches have just been made for next week!

Harvey: Well, folks, that's all the time we have for tonight! From Portland, this is Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase signing off. Join us next week!

Overdrive comes to a close with Biggs scurrying to the back while Green and Pence begin to pose and appeal to the fans.
