Overdrive - Philadelphia PA (11/18/10)

[President Jeff]

As the video end, pyro shoots from the stage. The camera than pans through the crowd before stopping on the commentators.

Harvey: Welcome to Thursday Night OVERDRIVE!

Chase: This is the 99th Episode and its bound to be a good one

Harvey: We have lots of action planned, but it’s the main event everyone is anxious to see

Chase: And Our main event will feature Sally Talfourd and Pence Weatherlight, Teaming up to take on Level One and The Number

Harvey: The Last time Pence and Sally teamed up, they beat Level One and Biggs last month.

Chase: Not this time Darren.

Harvey: We’ll see later on tonight. But first, lets kick off overdrive with a triple threat match.



“The War is Over,” by TRUST Company, hits the speakers as Derek Wellings walks out to the ring. He shrugs his arms a few times, high fives a few fans.

Paige: This opening bout is a triple threat match, scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 270 pounds, from Detroit, Michigan, “The Airborne Ranger” Derek Wellings!

Harvey: I am excited for our opening contest here tonight! I can't wait to see Derek Wellings in action!

Chase: He's a big boy, that's for sure!

As he nears the ring he sprints towards the ring and slides in the ring like Edge. He gets to his feet in two quick movements, walking over to a turnbuckle he stands on the middle rope with one foot on the top. He raises his right arm up and stares at the crowd. He jumps off the top, walks to another and gets on the second rope. He places his foot on the top again and raises his arm to the cheer of the crowd.

"Dump the Clip," by AOTP, hits the PA system as Osker Reyes makes his way down to the ring in a hoodie. He looks up at the crowd and continues to make his way forward staying focused.

Paige: And his opponent, first, weighing in tonight at 245 pounds, from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Osker Reyes!

Chase: You may be excited to see Wellings make his debut tonight, but I got to be honest, I can't wait to see Reyes in action! This guy has a quickness that belies his size, and he's extremely well versed in technical wrestling!

Harvey: Reyes is the smallest man in this match, but as you can see, he's hardly small!

While reaching the ring he looks down and pauses for a second and takes off his hoodie throwing it into the crowd and sliding under the bottom rope.

White neon lights flicker throughout the arena and "Cochise" by the Audioslave blasts from the arena's PA system. The crowd boo loudly as the man, the myth, the legend BDC walks from behind the curtain and stands at the top of the ramp. The APW - Tron shows the Welsh National Flag, and red, white and green pyro shoot high into the air and he then heads toward the ring.

Paige: And their opponent, making his APW return, weighing in at 310 pounds, from Wales, UK, he is The Man, The Myth, The Legend, BDC!

Harvey: The fans are none to happy to see the return of BDC.

Chase: They would be if they knew what was good for them! BDC is a bonafide legend in this sport!

He climbs over the top rope and proceeds to climb each turnbuckle one at a time, raising his right arm in the air. He then jumps up and down a little in the center of the ring and crouches a little, hands on his knees. All three men look around the ring at one another as the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Derek Wellings vs. BDC vs. Osker Reyes

[/u]

BDC runs in and gives Reyes a quick Big Boot, knocking him down to the mat! Wellings is right on BDC, giving him a few punches to the face before whipping the big man to the ropes! On the rebound, Welling nails BDC with a Dropkick right to the face, and then immediately pulls him back up for a hard Clothesline! As Wellings reaches down to pull BDC back up, Reyes comes up from behind him and rolls him up in a Schoolboy

Wellings kicks out! Wellings and Reyes get up to their feet at the same time, and lock up in a collar-and-elbow tie up! BDC is to his feet as well, and grabs a hold of both of their heads, bonking them together! Both of his opponents are staggered, and BDC follows up with a Double Clothesline! He grabs a hold of the top rope, and kicks Wellings in the side repeatedly, rolling him out of the ring. BDC then grabs a hold of Reyes by the head, pulls him up, and pulls him up for a Stalling Suplex! He lets the blood rush to Reyes' head before driving his back down into the mat! BDC goes for a cover

Reyes kicks out! BDC keeps his cool, pulling Reyes back up to a vertical base, but on the way up, Reyes unloads with a series of punches to the gut of BDC that allow him to get the advantage and pull off a Side Suplex!

Harvey: Look at the strength of Osker Reyes! BDC is north of 300 pounds, and Reyes showed no signs of having trouble lifting him!

Chase: It's all about leverage, Darren, and if there's one thing Reyes gets from being technically trained, it's a knowledge of how to use leverage to his advantage!

Reyes turns BDC onto his side and gives him a few knees to the back before trying to go for a Rear Naked Choke! BDC is struggling to prevent the hold, but just as Reyes almost has it locked in, Wellings is back into the ring and gives Reyes a hard stomp to the head! Wellings gives Reyes a few more hard stomps, followed up by kicking him out beneath the bottom rope, and then turns to BDC, who's making his way up to his feet. Wellings helps him the rest of the way up and shoots him towards the ropes, lifting BDC up for a Samoan Drop! Wellings then makes his way to the top rope, and motions to the fans!

Harvey: They don't call him the Airborne Ranger for nothing!

Wellings waits for BDC to get to his feet, and once BDC is up, Wellings leaps off, going for a Flying Cross Body! BDC catches him from midair, and repositions him to deliver a Running Powerslam! BDC goes for the cover

Reyes is in just in the nick of time to break the count! The fans are going wild at BDC's sign of strength!

Chase: The fans may not like BDC, but after that display of strength, they can't help but be impressed!

BDC curses under his breath as Reyes proceeds to give him a vicious volley of kicks and stomps as he tries to make his way back up to his feet. Reyes is all over BDC like a cheap suit, punching and kicking at him on the way up, before getting behind BDC and grabbing him for a German Suplex! BDC uses the ropes to pull himself up, and Reyes is right there to give him a Running Forearm Smash that sends BDC falling backwards over the ropes to the floor! Reyes then trains his attention on Wellings, who is to his feet, albeit slowly. Reyes rushes in, and the two men begin to brawl in the middle of the ring! Wellings gets the advantage! He gives Reyes a hard boot to the gut, and lifts him up onto one shoulder, getting a running start and delivering the Army Strong that sends Wellings flying over the top rope right into BDC on the floor! The fans are in a frenzy, chanting Wellings' name as he gets a running start, and does a Flying Shoulder Tackle over the top ropes to the arena floor, connecting with both his opponents! The chant transitions to a loud “APW! APW! APW!” chant, as all three competitors are laid out on the arena floor!

Harvey: What a series of moves from Derek Wellings there! He brought these fans to their feet!

Chase: It wasn't very smart of him, though, because he's just as out of it as his opponents!

BDC is the first one to his feet on the outside, and pulls Wellings up the rest of the way, grabbing him by the head and trunks and spinning him around before ramming him head first into the barricade! BDC then grabs a hold of Reyes, rolls him into the ring, and delivers The Blackout Spinning Sit Down Powerbomb, pinning Reyes' shoulders to the mat with his legs

Winner: Derek Wellings[/center]

Paige: Here is your winner, by pinfall, Derek Wellings!

“The War is Over” blares from the speakers as the ref raises Derek Wellings' arm in victory! The Airborne Ranger salutes the fans as BDC angrily exits the ring and Reyes holds his back in pain as he slowly rolls out of the ring!

Harvey: What a win for Derek Wellings in his APW debut here tonight! His high-flying move to the outside almost cost him, but Wellings was able to hold on for the victory!

Chase: BDC almost stole the win here from Wellings, but Wellings stole it right back!

Wellings is all smiles as the fans chant his name while he continues to celebrate in the ring.

(The scene opens up in the locker room of the APW Tag Team champions, The Exchange Rate. C.J. Gates and Blade can be seen wearing their wrestling attire with their title belts close at hand. Also in the room are APW Xtreme champion Branden Harvey and the large muscle mass of Rico Casteel. Gates stands up and paces a bit, while Blade stretches out his legs a bit.

C.J. Gates: Are you ready for this, Blade?

Blade: Never been so ready for a match, man. This is when we show the entire tag team world that we mean business.

C.J. Gates: Couldn't have said it better. We are THE team, and short of Sally Talfourd and Level One joining forces, we will be unstoppable.

Blade: We ARE unstoppable.

C.J. Gates: True enough. And these titles...Gates picks up his tag team title....These titles right here are proof of that.

Blade nods his head in response as he grabs his own title.

Blade: And they are just the beginning of what is to come, really.

C.J. Gates: Branden, you have our backs, right? In case the Mafia tries anything?

Harvey: Definitely do. Us champions have to stick together and watch out for one another.

C.J. Gates: And we all know Rico is down for a fight.

Rico nods his head with a smirk on his face.

Rico: Damn straight. If those punks get out of line, I'll make 'em pay.

Harvey: This guy is intense.

Blade: Glad to have this guy on board. He's got that killer instinct.

C.J. Gates: We've all for that killer instinct. We're all capable of lighting up the night. We are all able to fight tooth and nail for what we want, and we all have fun while we do so.

Blade: You feeling good about your title match, B?

Harvey: I'll be fine. Valentine doesn't have anything on me. It's unfortunate that you guys won't be able to lend a hand, but, on the plus side, it's a good thing that the Mafia is banned from ringside as well.

C.J. Gates: I'd just worry about that Number guy.

Harvey: Isn't he in the Mafia?

C.J. Gates: Well, maybe. But he wouldn't be an official member. Just a hired gun.

Blade: And that guy is kind of out there himself. When Gates and I met up with him on the World Tour, he was very...focused.

Gates nods in agreement.

Harvey: But he's got Pence to worry about. I doubt he'd worry about me.

Rico: Depends how much the Mafia is paying him.

Gates: Good point, good point. Well, let's get this show started then. Lets give the Cryptic Connection a match they won't soon forget.

Blade nods his head as the scene fades to commercial

[President Jeff]

We come back on the air with Pence Weatherlight walking through the backstage area and is approached by Cid Phoenix, who is with Liz Levrone at his side.

Cid: Well, well, well... If it isn't Pence Weatherlight.

Pence: Cid...

The two approach each other and stare each other down. The taller Pence looms over Cid, as Liz watches on nervously. Suddenly, Cid smirks and offers his hand. Pence smiles and takes it. The two wrestlers share a laugh.

Pence: I heard you were here with us in the APW. What's the matter, Vegas not good enough for ya anymore?

Cid: Well, you know how it is with me, Pence. I'm not one for politics, and besides, I wanna make my mark here in the APW!

Pence: Good for you, man! Listen I've got some stuff I've gotta do. Maybe later, we'll catch up?

Cid (smiles): Sure thing, man.

Pence walks off camera, as Hannah Storm walks up to Cid.

Hannah: Cid Phoenix, are you ready for your match tonight against Slade Craven?

Cid: Actually, Honey...

Hannah: It's Hannah!

Cid: Whatever... I'm actually quite good and ready to face Slade tonight! 'Cause tonight is a very special night...

Hannah (looking past Cid): What do you mean by...Waitaminute! What's HE doing here?!?

The camera pans over to reveal Droskarr, who walks up and stands next to Cid Phoenix, wearing an ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT T-shirt and blue jeans. Both he and Cid cross their arms and smile at Hannah...

Droskarr: Hey, Hannah Storm! Wow, how goes it? You look alot older in person than on T.V. Anyway, I'm just here talking business to my friend, Cid here. Nothing more... But yeah, I'll be watching the show as well, seeing as I've got some time before I do my thing over in Vegas. Anyway, I'll leave you two to wrap up... (turns to Cid) Hit me up later, okay?

Cid nods at Droskarr, who then turns and walks away. Hannah watches him leave, then looks down at Cid.

Hannah: What gives, Cid? The entire wrestling world knows that you and Droskarr are a part of that faction the Anti-Something!

Cid (Sneers at Hannah): It's the ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT! Get the name right, Heather!

Hannah: Hannah..

Cid (Angry): WHATEVER!!! (Shakes his head) Now you see what you've done? You've gone and made me mad. That's not a wise thing to do, if you know my history, you know not to get on my bad side!

Hannah (Backpedaling): I-I'm sorry. It won't happen again!

Cid (softens his expression): Good... That's good to hear Heidi. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and show Slade Craven how much I've changed since we last met!

Cid storms off, as Hannah looks down and catches her breath. The camera zooms in on her. She looks up and over and her eyes reveal shock. Cameras zoom out to reveal a very annoyed Liz staring in her face.

Liz: Listen up and listen good, Holly! I don't care for you, and quite frankly, seeing your face pisses me off on so many levels! You'd best do your job and shut your mouth around my man. Because if not... (grabs Hannah by the throat, pinning her up against the wall) ...I'll ruin those pretty good looks, you understand me, chica?

Hannah (Choking, almost in tears): Y-yes...

Liz let's go of Hannah, and walks off. Hannah holds her throat and mumbles under her breath...

Hannah: My name...is Hannah!

Hannah rubs her neck as the scene cuts to another part of the arena


Cindy Shannon is backstage preparing for an interview. She brushes back her long blonde hair and smiles for the camera.

Cindy Shannon: Hi, I'm Cindy Shannon. And tonight...

Before she can even finish her sentence she's interrupted by the mere presence of Level-One standing behind her shoulder. Shes freezes in shock and begins to mumble mindlessly on the microphone.

Cindy Shannon: Puh-puh-puh... please, don't hurt me. I didn't do-do-do anything. Leave me alone!

Cindy Shannon looks as if she's about to burst into tears but Level-One gives her some space and begins to plead with her raising his hands high above his head exposing the palm of his hands, as if to say, I'm not going to hurt you.

Level-One: Listen to me, please. Last week, I sat back and watched the tapes. Old episodes of APW overdrive and I was appalled with how I have treated you in the past two years. So much so, you've went out of your way to sneak out of interviews ultimately risking your job. And I am truly sorry for the torment, I have put you through.

Cindy Shannon wipes at her face trying to save the make up artists work before the show. She sniffs and slowly finds the courage to once again address Level-One.

Cindy Shannon: Why are you doing this?

Level-One: I'm a changed man, Cindy. You saw me out there last week, didn't you? I was so close on driving that APW world championship into the back of Sally Talfourd's skull but I didn't because something snapped in me and I realized I am much better then that!

Cindy Shannon: Well, I don't trust you. And I'm sure most of these fans feel the same way about you. How can we be sure?

Level-One: The answer is, you can't. I feel like there's a dark cloud over me, manipulating me. Pulling my strings, altering my moods—pushing me into directions, I don't want to go in. It's important for you and everyone else that I really have changed. I have turned a new chapter and I'm willing to forge the bridges I have burnt over the past several years, even if it kills me!''

Level-One slowly snakes a arm around Cindy Shannon to which she closes her eyes, tightly. She was far from a cynic but not nearly as stupid as she put off, either. Level-One's representation proceeded him. It could take months maybe even years to convince anyone he's changed the tune, he swore he'd always sing.

Level-One: All I can say is, I'm better off this way. No antics. No steel chairs. No cheap shots. While I am certainly humble and while the APW might have the greatest talent in the entire world under one roof; I know I am one of the best and I'll let me talent shine through on it's own!

Cindy Shannon: Well, why didn't you realize this before?

Level-One: I don't know, Cindy. I guess when you've won for so long, you want to keep doing what works—even though you know it's wrong. The fact is, I want to have match with Sally Talfourd the entire world remembers. Two of the best competitors meeting in one ring giving the fans what they want.

Cindy Shannon: You don't hate the fans anymore, too?

Level-One: Well, I'm not crazy about them. They still call me names. Jeer me. They basically treat me like shit—but I have done the same to them in the past. Fair is far. That's life...

Level-One lets go of Cindy Shannon and taps her on the shoulder softly to which she hands the microphone over to him and takes a few steps back as a safety precaution.

Level-One: Sally, I want you to know that last week I had no intentions on smashing your head in with that APW championship. If wanted too, you know I would have! The fact is, I am battling my own demons right now and your going to need to be patient with me. If you are, you'll get the match you've been waiting for all this time. Me Vs. You—without the antics. I am hereby issuing you a truce, a war treaty of sorts—up until our match. Please, consider this...

Level-One hands the microphone back to Cindy Shannon as he slowly begins to back away.

Level-One: Keep your chin up, kid...

Level-One turns his back on Cindy Shannon and walks off scene. Cindy Shannon although uncertain of Level-One's motives can't help but crack a nervous grin. Perhaps, he really had changed.

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Nicky Paige: The following match is set for one fall. Making his way to the ring from Denton Texas Slade Craven!!!!

The arena lights dim as there replaced by green & blue strobe lights as "The Way You Like It" comes over the PA as we see Slade Craven step out through the curtain. Slade stands at the top of the ramp wearing his black jacket and sunglasses as he walks down the ramp slapping hands with several of the fans as he walks down the ramp.

Slade reaches the bottom of the ramp climbing up onto the apron as he steps through the ropes and into the ring. Slade walks over towards a corner jumping on the middle rope as he points towards the crowd before jumping down as he removes his jacket & sunglasses waiting for the bell to sound

Nicky Paige: And his opponent coming to the ring from New York City Cid Phoenix!!!

The lights flicker and all goes dark for a few moments, suddenly it is heard...

"Can't Stop....Can't Stop....Can't Stop!....Can't Stop!"

"Can't Stop" by PreThing plays out over the entire arena as Cid Phoenix - wearing white face paint & dressed in a long, bulky black leather duster stands at the top of the ramp way, accompanied by his manager - Liz, dressed in a gothic black dress and high New Rock boots. Making their way towards the ring, he slides snake-like beneath the ring ropes, before getting up and holding the ropes for Liz, who climbs underneath and leans back against Cid in a provocative pose. She then turns and caresses his face, leans in close and whispers words of encouragement, before kissing him good luck & exiting the ring. Cid then raises the ropes for her to leave the ring, and sits in a corner of the ring, awaiting his opponent.

Slade Craven Vs Cid Phoenix


The bell sounds as both men circle the ring before locking up Slade shoves Phoenix away as Phoenix hits the ground hard bouncing up as he stares up at Slade who smiles. Cid gets to his feet and nails Slade with a kick to the leg following up with several more leg kicks before finally whipping Slade towards the ropes.

Nicky Paige: Here’s your winner of the match. Cid Phoenix!!!

Cid celebrates his victory as the cameras go backstage

Biggs is walking towards the arena backstage, psyching himself up for his match with Mark Mania. As he heads down the hall, he bumps into Pence Weatherlight. The disdain is laid on thick as Biggs begins to speak to Pence.

Biggs: Oh Pence, fancy meeting you here. I'd say I was happy to see you, but then I'd be a lying. I know that you're okay with that, but some of us have standards.

Pence: You have standards? And here I thought the whole thing with Ellie proved you didn't. Guess I was wrong.

Biggs: How does me getting cheated on by my fiance show that I don't have standards? That makes absolutely no sense. Are you trying to goad me into a fight, Pence, because I'm not spoiling for a fight with you, at least not right now. I've got to deal with Mark Mania tonight, and after that, Chris Cyrus. If you think I'm foolish enough to fight a war on two fronts right here, right now, Pence, well, I'm afraid you're mistaken.

Pence: I stopped listening after the part where you called yourself foolish. I mean come on Biggs, we both know you are a walking, talking pussy. I know even if you weren't fighting against Chris Cyrus, who by the way is just another flavor of the cock for Ellie, you wouldn't dare challenge me.

Biggs is unphased by Pence's words.

Biggs: Woah, Pence, that type of language is very unnecessary. I mean, I hate Cyrus just as much as the next guy, okay probably more, but I'm not reducing him to a sexual object like you are. And I'm hardly afraid of challenging you. I'm just too smart to spread myself too thin. It's not cowardice, it's intellegence. Now if you'll be excusing me, I have a match to attend to. You'll get your chance at me, sooner or later, meat head, you're just going to have to be patient.

Pence grabs Biggs by the collar of his jacket and shoves him up against the wall.

Pence: We all know patience isn't a virtue of mine and we also both know who is Mr. Main Event and who is some washed up no balls has-been...

The fans cheer outside as Pence says this as Pence continues on with a grin on his face.

Pence: We also know that when it comes down to it...you and me that is...who has more talent. And that will always and I mean always be, without any shroud of a doubt, me.

Biggs: You keep telling yourself that, Pence. I know you're trying to provoke me, saying I have no balls and all, but I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Pence, I will not fight you here tonight, nor will I take back my comments about you being a liar. Let's face it, Pence, if anyone here is the coward, it's you, because you refuse to acknowledge what you really are...

Pence: And what would that be?

Biggs: An egocentric jerk, just like me.

Biggs flashes his arrogant smirk

Biggs: Now if you'll kindly unhand me, I have a match that I must be getting to.

Pence begrudgingly lets go of Biggs and glares at him as the arrogant competitor makes his way towards the arena.

Harvey: Tense words between Pence Weatherlight and Biggs backstage! We'll see Biggs take on Mark Mania later on tonight!

APW cuts to a commercial break

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage. The fans are cheering in the arena as they see President Hurricane Jeff on the titantron. We see Jeff putting a poster up on a wall. He takes a step back and the camera shows the poster. it’s the Overdrive Poster but on it, it says, “NOVEMBER 25th, OVERDRIVE’S 100th EPISODE”

Jeff: Who would have thought that when I started this company that Overdrive would hit 100 episodes.
Just then, Cid Phoenix comes up to Jeff.

Cid: Excuse me, President Jeff.

Jeff: oh, Cid, what can I did for you.

Cid: First of all, I want to say congrats on having the 100th Episode of Overdrive next week.

Jeff: Thanks Cid.

Cid: And second of all. Since it’s a special night for APW. I’d like it to be a special night for me as well.

Jeff: What do you have in mind Cid?

Cid: When I signed your contact, you shook my hand and told me that APW was a land of opportunities. Well, I’d like my opportunity next week. I want a shot at the Xtreme Championship.

Jeff: Hmm. Yes, I did say that. But I also said that Opportunities are earned. But I have been watching you and you have been impressive. But I can’t give you a title shot next week. BUT what I can do for you is make you a deal. You win your match next week, You get a shot at the Xtreme Title at Christmas Chaos. Its as simple as that.

Cid: Who’s my opponent

Jeff: I haven’t decided yet, but like I said, all you gotta do it win and your set for a title shot.

Cid: Thanks Boss.

Cid leaves, leaving Jeff to admire the poster as we go back to ringside.


Paige: The following contest is a non title match scheduled for one fall

My Time hits the PA and Jason comes out first with Sarah in tow and does a JoMo style arm raise as Arrow walks out slowly and looks as Jason and shakes his head

They reach the ring, and walk to the center, raising their titles high in the air before handing them to the ref. C.J. Gates then carefully removes his cowboy hat, giving it to the ref as well, before the two men remove their T-Shirts and toss them into opposite sides of the crowd.

Winner: The Exchange Rate

Harvey: The Exchange Rate continue to dominate the tag team competition here in APW.

Chase: They just got lucky tonight.

CJ and Blade celebrate their victory and just then, The Number appears at the top of the stage. The Tag Champs turn their attention towards them.

Harvey: What’s The Number doing out here.

CJ and Blade exchange some works with The Number and then two men with hoodies from the crowd jump over the ring barrier and get into the ring. They take the hoods off their head and its Young Mannie and J.R Kingston.

Chase: it’s a set up!

Mannie and Kingston attack the Tag Champs from behind, taking them down. The Number makes his way into the ring and joins in on the assault as All three men attack the tag champs. Just then, A big man begins running down to the ring

Chase: Who’s that guy.

Harvey: That’s the Exchange rates new body guard. Rico Casteel is his name.

Rico slides into the ring and Punches Mannie and then Kingston. They roll out of the ring and just as he goes for The Number, The Number gets out of the ring.

Harvey: They’re big and tough when the numbers are at their advantage.

Chase: Shut up Darren

Rico helps CJ and Blade up and then CJ ask for a mic.

CJ: Mannie, Kingston. I’m tired of this. I know what you guys want. You want a shot at our Tag Titles. Well, Blade and I, we’ve yet to turn down a challenge, so how about this, I’ll give you guys a month to prepare yourselves, because we will put our Tag Titles on the Line against you two at Christmas Chaos. How about that.

Mannie and Kingston are smiling and pointing to the titles and motioning them around their waste and the Rise to It begins to play over the PA system and the Exchange Rate go back to celebrate their victory.

Harvey: At Christmas Chaos, The Exchange Rate Verses The Red Shield Mafia for the APW Tag Team Titles.

Chase: The Exchange Rate just made the biggest mistake of their career.

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Paige: Ladies and gentlemen, the next match is schedule for one fall. Coming out first, from Boston, Massachusetts…

"This Means War" by Busta Rhymes plays out over the loud speaker as on the jumbo tron a giant video of Mark Mania's career highlights plays.

Paige: Mark Mania!

Mark Mania walks out from behind the curtain with his arms in the air. He comes out in a full suit, as he is walking down the ramp he offers arrogant yet charming looks to crowd as he removes the suit coat, tie, and shirt while walking down the ramp and throws them into the crowd. He slides in ring under the bottom rope and lifts his arms to the crowd before entering his corner.

Paige: And his opponent from Seattle, Washington…

The arena lights fade to black as “Spaceman” blares over the loudspeakers. Blue laser lights shoot from the stage as strobe lights flash about the arena.

Paige: Biggs!

Biggs enters to a chorus of boos, and flashes his trademark smirk before making his way down the ramp to the ring. Biggs mocks the fans as he heads towards the ring, and once he reaches the ring, he rolls in beneath the ropes, pops up to his feet, and raises his hands up, index fingers pointed upwards. Biggs removes his ring jacket and shades as the lights come back on.

Harvey: This should be an interesting match here tonight Chase, this is the first time these two have faced off against each other.

Chase: Yeah, interesting to see how badly Mark Mania gets beat.

Harvey: Well, he has been on a losing streak, but Biggs hasn’t been doing much himself lately either.

Chase: I wouldn’t worry about the man.

Mark Mania Vs Biggs


Mark and Biggs charge at each other and grapple up . Biggs quickly gets the upper hand and gets Mark into a head lock. Biggs starts offering punches to Mark’s wrapped up head before Mark pushes Biggs off and into the ropes, Mark goes for a clothesline, Biggs ducks under, against the opposite ropes, and hits a big forearm to the head of Mark Mania. Biggs goes for a quick pin landing on top of him.

1….


2….

Kick out by Mark Mania.

Chase: What did I tell you? Man, you should really start paying more attention.

Biggs and Mark both get up but again Biggs gets the upper hand before Mark can even get on two feet and Biggs starts hitting Mark in the forehead with elbows. One after another until Mark gets backed up into the corner. Biggs hits Mark with another big elbow that dazes Mark and Biggs backs up and charges into Mark and hits a big spear. Mark grabs his stomach in pain as Biggs backs up and resets for another spear. Biggs charges towards Mark who jumps up and over Biggs and lands on the other side of him as Biggs shoulder charges through the turnbuckles and into the post. Mark ducks behind Biggs and wraps Biggs up for a quick pin.


1….


Kickout by Biggs!


Harvey: Not going to get Biggs that easily.

Chase: First smart thing you’ve said all night.

Mark and Biggs are both on their feet now. Mark charges after Biggs but Biggs ducks underneath the attempted forearm smash and kicks Mark in the midsection as he turns around. Biggs locks up Mark and hits a DDT that sends Mark to the mat head first! Biggs pops up and lifts Mark up too, Biggs throws Mark off the ropes and Biggs bounces off the opposite rope and jumps up hits a huge spinning heel kick! Mark is knocked flat onto the ground. Biggs gets to his feet and taunts the crowd and Mark who is laying face up on the mat. Mark starts to stir and turns to his hands and knees. Biggs sees a situation begin to open up for him.

Harvey: Oh no, Mark doesn’t see what’s coming.

Chase: I’d be surprised if Mark can see a damn thing.

Mark gets up to feet but he’s still bending over, Biggs charges and hits the CRASHING DOWN TO EARTH! Mark is knocked out. Biggs gets to his feet, taunts the crowd again and covers Mark.

Winner: Biggs

Chase: An amazing match by Biggs there, just dominated in every facet of the match. Mark Mania is going to have some thinking to do after that match.

Harvey: I wish I could disagree with you there Chase, but no doubt about it, Biggs just dominated this match.

“Spaceman” fades as Biggs grabs a hold of the mic, and waits for the booing to subside a bit before speaking.

Biggs: Now that I've dealt with Mark Mania, I'd like to ask Christopher Cyrus and Elizabeth Powell to please come out here right now!

The fans boo loudly as “Ironman,” by Black Sabbath, begins to play. The song plays for about thirty seconds without anyone coming out, drawing more boos from the crowd. The music stops.

Biggs: I know the two of you are here tonight, so please don't waste my time. Get your sorry butts out here!

“Ironman” plays again, and this time, Chris Cyrus and Ellie enter the arena. Both have annoyed looks on their faces, while Biggs stares a hole into the two of them from the ring. The fans are most certainly booing as Cyrus begins to speak.

Cyrus: Don't mistake the time it took us to get out here for cowardice, Biggs, because to be honest, when you asked us to come out here, Ellie and I were a little busy...

Cyrus flashes a cheesy grin while Ellie giggles. Biggs is fuming in the ring.

Cyrus: Biggs, I'm going to cut right to the chase. Ellie and I both know why you want us out here tonight, and it's to respond to the challenge you made on your webshow, First Contact. Yes, Biggs, I still watch the show, even though it's gone completely to hell without Ellie and I being featured on it week in and week out!

Cyrus laughs at his own joke, while Ellie claps for him a couple of times. Biggs is still pissed in the ring.

Biggs: Well, that's a matter of opinion, but since you say you watched my show, I'm sure you heard my thoughts that APW isn't big enough for the two of us, that in order for me to have some semblance of healing for what you and Ellie have done to me, that I need to drive you out of APW for good!

Cyrus: Yeah, yeah, I heard all that. And I know that this thing between us, this whole issue can never truly be resolved, so I agree with you, Biggs, one of us does need to leave APW. But it won't be me. I've been in APW since the very beginning! I'm an Overdrive institution for crying out loud, and I intend to be for years to come. That is why I am accepting your challenge for a loser leaves APW match on next week's 100th Episode of Overdrive! By this time next week, Biggs, one of us will never be seen on Overdrive ever again!

The fans cheer at this prospect!

Harvey: Couldn't they both leave?

Chase: What a horrible thing to say, Harvey! I hate having to lose one of these two enough as it is!

Biggs smiles in the ring, but not a cheerful smile. One a little more sinister.

Biggs: I'm glad you said that, Chris, but in all honesty, it doesn't really matter what you would have said. You see, despite my differences with President Jeff, he very much liked the idea of having a Loser Leaves APW match, particularly with the two of us involved, that he's already booked the match. And what's more Chris, to make sure that Ellie doesn't screw me again, we'll be fighting it out in a Steel Cage Match!

Cyrus' jaw drops, and Ellie begins to pout on stage.

Biggs: Is that fear I see on your face, Cyrus? Is that worry? Well, in this case, it's well founded, as Steel Cage Matches are a bit of specialty for yours truly. I've never lost a Steel Cage Match, Cyrus, and I don't intend to lose one next week. You may be an Overdrive institution, but after next week, you'll be Overdrive history!

Biggs tosses down the mic as “Spaceman” begins to play again, while Cyrus and Ellie look shocked on the stage. Biggs then exits the ring and begins to make his way up the ramp, picking up the pace as he does so! Cyrus and Ellie run to the back, hoping to get away from Biggs!

Harvey: What a huge announcement for the 100th episode of Overdrive! We will see Chris Cyrus take on Biggs in a Steel Cage Match, where the loser has to leave APW forever!

Chase: Oh no! Next week's going to be terrible!

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

APW Xtreme Title Match
Branden Harvey Vs Diamante Valentine w/Damian Walker

Paige: The following Contest is for the APW Xtreme Championship

"Fuel by Metallica hits the speakers. The word "Xtreme" comes up on the screen, followed by clips from the Ladder Match at One Night in Hell. "Supersonic" Branden Harvey walks through the curtain. He has the Xtreme Championship belt around his waist. Branden strikes a pose at the top of the ramp and out come Diamante and nails him from behind and Branden rolls down the ramp

Diamante ignores the boo’s as he goes after Branden and Damian Walker comes out ordering Diamante to attack. Diamante grabs Branden and throws him into the ring barrier and then stomps on him to the ground and then places his boot on his throat and begins choking him. The ref is trying to get Diamante to get Branden into the ring. Diamante punches the ref, knocking him out. Diamante grabs Branden and rolls him into the ring. Diamante gets in there and Branden pulls himself up in the corner.

Diamante grabs Branden and throws him right into the ring steps shoulder first. A loud bang is heard as Branden holds his shoulder. Diamante checks on Damian and Damian holds his face as he yells out “KILL HIM”. Diamante looks under the ring and pulls out a barbwire baseball bat. He lifts it in the air and the crowd boo’s him.

Harvey: Don’t do this Diamante.

Diamante slowly goes to Branden and lifts the bat over his head and before he can hit Branden with it, Branden takes Diamante down with a double leg take down. Diamante drops the bat and Branden picks it up. He threatens to his Damian and he backs away. Diamante it up and Branden gets Diamante in the gut with the bat and then down across the back.

Chase: Branden has no right using that weapon.

Harvey: Diamante is the one who brought it into play.

Chase: To scare him of course.

The fans cheer for Branden as he grabs Diamante and rolls him into the ring. Branden searches under the ring and pulls out a steel chair. He slides the chair into the ring and it stops right in front of Diamante. Diamante picks it up and Branden is on the ring apron and springboards off the ropes and dropkicks the chair into Diamante’s face. Branden picks the chair up and wedges it in the corner. Branden picks Diamante up and throws Diamante to the corner with the chair, but Diamante reverses it. Branden stops himself before hitting the corner. Diamante runs and Branden see’s this and drop toe holds Diamante and Diamante his the chair with his head.

Harvey: This match still hasn’t even started.

Chase: Its not even a match anymore, it’s a fight.

Branden takes the chair and places it in the middle of the ring. He grabs Diamante and gives him the X-Factor onto the chair. He then rolls Diamante over and places the chair on top of him and then begins climbing to the top rope. Branden gets to the top and Damian grabs Branden’s foot. Branden tries to kick him off but he cant. Diamante is up with the chair in hand and he throws it and nails Branden right in the head.

Harvey: Wow, did you hear that. Branden could be knocked out.

Chase: How hard did Diamante hit the referee?

Diamante climbs the turn buckle and gives Branden a few punches and then sets Branden up and does picks him up for a power bomb and jumps backwards back into the ring and drops Branden with a sit-down power bomb! The fans chant holy shit as Diamante gets to his feet and rolls out of the ring. He picks up the Barbwire baseball bat and gets into the ring. Before Diamante uses it, Diamante takes the tape off his wrist and ties Branden’s hand to the top rope with it. Diamante the picks up the bat and begins taunting Branden. Just then, Slade Craven begins running down to the ring.

Chase: He has no business being out here.

Harvey: Slade lost to Diamante last week, he could be looking for some revenge.

Branden yells at him “What did you hit me for.” Slade tries to explain the situation and then Branden starts punching Slade. The two are now going at it. Just then, a voice is heard over the PA system

Voice: Hold it right there.

The fans cheer as President Jeff walks out with the mic in hand. Slade and Branden stop fighting.

Jeff: Someone needs to put an end to this. Now, thanks to Diamante here knocking out the ref, this match never officially happen. So what I’m going to do on December 19th, at Christmas Chaos, it will be Branden Harvey defending the APW Xtreme Championship against Diamante Valentine, And since you beat Branden a couple weeks ago Slade, I’m throwing you into the match as well, making it a Triple threat match!

Harvey: Branden, Diamante and Slade, Triple threat match at Chrismas Chaos just made by President Jeff.

Chase: Slade doesn’t deserve to be in this match. Diamante beat him last week. That makes him number one contender by default

Branden’s music begins to play as Jeff leaves. Diamante, Branden and Slade all look at each other as we go to commercial.

Winner: No Contest

[President Jeff]

We find ourselves backstage following closely behind the former APW world champion, Level-One. Coincidentally, he's actually in the middle of giving an interview to Shane West.

Level-One: ...I am looking forward to teaming up with The Number tonight. I think he's a great competitor and will prove to be a great teammate. You can't expect to go out there against two top notch competitors like Sally Talfourd and Pence Weatherlight and expect to win with anything less backing your corner. It's just not going to happen...

Shane West: I can't help but ask why have you changed your tune so drastically over the past 48 hours? In promo you earlier for this match you ran The Number through the mud—as well as both of your opponents

Level-One stops dead in his tracks, turns around and shrugs his shoulders.

Level-One: I'm sorry but I don't recall...

Shane West looks on perplexed as Level-One turns back around and leads Shane West and his camera crew into his backstage locker room. As he opens the door he's surprised to find all the lights turned off. There are several candles lit up around the locker room slicing through the darkness. He flips the light switch on and finds his locker room decorated romantically.

Level-One: What in the world is this? Valentines day isn't for a few months—so I sure as hell hope, The Number hadn't had anything to do with this one...

Level-One light heartedly jokes as he scans the room, amused. He looks behind his own shoulder where Shane West is lingering scanning the room himself as the camera crew snap real time photos of the scene at hand.

Level-One: I get it. Someone is trying to call me soft. Real creative. Real classy. The fact is Shane, I'm above and beyond all these childish games and whoever is behind this should move on past them, too.

Shane West: What is this?

Shane West points at a table with two candles lit and an open box of chocolates. Level-One approaches the table grabbing a piece of chocolate popping it into his mouth. Beside the box of chocolates is a card, he picks it up and smiles.

Level-One: I think my girlfriend Patricia Lewis set this all up for me. She couldn't make it out tonight, which is quite a shame. One hell of a main-event, I'll be competing in tonight...

Level-One opens up the card and then reads the following;

Dear, Level-One

I know your secret.

Hehe

XoXo

It was if a switch went off in Level-Ones head—short circuiting a life time of bottled up emotion. With one big thrust he flipped the table over sending all the contents on top onto the floor. Glass cracked upon impact and a small fire quickly emerged when the flames came in contact with table top, cloth. Sending everyone into a panic, Level-One quickly snatched up the first person he could—immediately demanding names and perhaps, skulls.

BANG!

Level-One thrusts Shane West against a far locker room door—after picking him up off his feet and driving him straight into it. The door bent upon impact as Shane West struggled in his grips. Meanwhile the camera crew tried to put out the small fires with an extinguisher.

Level-One: If you had anything to do with this, I'll kill you. If you know who did this, I'll kill you. If you have a death wish you little punk, I'll kill you.

Shane West: I have no idea, I swear. Please, don't kill me!

Level-One clinches his teeth and lets go of Shane West allowing the backstage interviewer to slump to the floor like a bag of bricks. Level-One simply watches as they put out the fire, cursing under his breath with reckless abandon.

We go to our final commercial

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up with President Jeff in his office talking on his phone

Jeff: Your doing a great job in running IWC Reginald…….No, I won’t be there for the show this Sunday, but I’ll be sure to catch the airing of it on the website……Sounds good Reginald. I gotta get going though……Thanks, next week should be a huge show. Three hour special….Alright then….See ya.

Jeff hangs up, and sits back in his chair

Jeff: Man it feels good to be back in charage.

Just then, A knock is heard.

Jeff: Come in

The door opens and in walks Young Mannie and J.R Kingston.

Jeff: What can I do for you two gentlemen?

Mannie: We want a match

Jeff: Against?

Kingston: The Exchange Rate, next week, for the tag titles.

Jeff: Not gonna happen. I talked with them earlier today. And you guys are going to get your tag title shot at Christmas Chaos.

Mannie: Fine, but next week is the 100th Episode of Overdrive. We want in on that show and we want a big match.

Kingston: Yah, We want to hurt someone and send the tag champs a message

Jeff: Is that so huh? Well, that gives me an idea. Matter of fact, all day I’ve had people calling me and congratulating me on the milestone Overdrive has next week. And some of those people, former APW wrestlers who helped build the foundation of Overdrive.

Mannie: Ok, what are you getting at?

Jeff: Well, I was talking to three of my close friends and they said they’d be willing to get into the ring.

Kingston: Who is it?

Jeff: You sure you want this?

Mannie: Your damn right we’re sure

Jeff: It will be Young Mannie and J.R Kingston with Damian Walker taking on the team of KATRINA “ARCAIDA’ OLIVETTI, APW HALL OF FAMER DR. MATT with APW HALL OF FAMER RAZOR RYAN IN THEIR CORNER!

Mannie and Kingston look at each other.

Jeff: Good luck guys. Don’t forget to close the door on the way out

Kingston and Mannie walk off as Jeff sits back in his char

Jeff: I love my job

Jeff smiles as we go to ringside


Paige: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall, and is your APW Overdrive Main Event!

“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 as he raises both of his arms high.

Paige: Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 273 pounds, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Level-One!

Harvey: Here comes the number one contender for Sally Talfourd's APW Heavyweight Championship at Christmas Chaos! Level-One is none too happy about losing the belt in the Elimination Chamber, and he looks to regain it quickly!

Chase: Level-One also can't be happy about having the first entrance here in this match! He never enters first!

The fans continue to boo Level-One as he wears a scowl on his face and slowly begins to walk down the ramp. Level-One stops before eying down a fan, mocking them in the process. Level-One then turns and climbs up onto the apron. He climbs up the turnbuckle and raises his arms in the air again. Level-One hops down and awaits the fight in front of him.

Slowly walking out to his theme of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, he has no pyro, but laser light projections are constantly putting out what he deems as art, perfectly symmetrical shapes, up and down the aisle, as random equations flash in red and black numerals against a white background on the 'titantron'.

Paige: And his partner, weighing in at 260 pounds, from Henderson, Nevada, he is the APW Overdrive Champion, The Number!

Harvey: How often do we see Level-One in a tag team match where the other guy has a championship and he does not? Not very often, folks!

Chase: The Number is trying to bounce back from losing to Pence Weatherlight last week, and there's no better way to ensure victory than teaming with Level-One!

He enters the ring in the exact middle of the apron, going through the middle rope, so as to be symmetrically aligned when he enters. Turning around ever so slightly, he stands against the middle of the ropes as he looks to the entryway—even if his opponent is already in the ring—until that bell rings, when he snaps into attention and focuses on his foes.

The Titantron bursts to static as the lights all dim down and begin to flash different colors at random, the fans turn their eyes to the entrance ramp, as all the light go out. A voice comes out over the speakers saying "Baby don't fear the Reaper." and then the lights come on. "Everything" by Pillar hits the speakers now and the lights begin to flicker red, white, and blue. The fans all begin to cheer as Pence emerges on to the Entrance ramp wearing a red, white, and blue vest with a pair of black and blue shorts, he salutes the fans who all begin to chant "Mr. Main Event".

Paige: And their opponents, first, weighing in at 250 pounds, from Hershey, Pennsylvania, “Mr. Main Event” Pence Weatherlight!

Harvey: Listen to the ovation Pence is getting here in his home state! Hershey's not too far from Philly, so you can bet Pence has some friends in the audience tonight!

Chase: Pence is really keen on getting a shot at the Overdrive Championship on next week's historic 100th episode of Overdrive. If he can get another win over The Number, he'd probably secure that shot!

Pence makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands, and taking poses so that the fans can take pictures of him. He finally makes it into the ring and then jumps up on to one of the turnbuckles and flexes. He then jumps down and repeats the process on the opposite sides turnbuckle, before finally jumping down, and going to the middle, he begins to pace looking at the entrance ramp, awaiting his partner.

The crowd is buzzing with anticipation for the coming match. On cue, the lights take on a blue tinge and 'Starstrukk' 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 with the APW Heavyweight Championship clasped around her waist, 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: And his partner, weighing in tonight at 145 pounds, from Seattle, Washington, she is the APW Heavyweight Champion of the World, Sally Talfourd!

Harvey: The fans are going absolutely crazy for Sally Talfourd here tonight!

Chase: Well, with looks like that and the APW Championship, well, Sally Talfourd might just be the woman of every man's dreams! Except for Level-One, of course.

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 centre 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 hands the championship belt to the ref and starts to stretch for the match. Level-One and Pence make their way to their respective corners as the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Sally Talfourd & Pence Weatherlight vs. Level-One & The Number

[/b]

The Number appears almost aloof as he and Sally start off the match. The two circle the ring a bit before Sally comes charging in with a Front Face Dropkick, sending him staggering into the ropes! Sally follows up with a quick Hip Toss, using the momentum produced by the ropes to help get The Number over! As The Number gets back to his feet, Sally jumps onto the center rope and springs off, going for a Springboard Dropkick! The Number sidesteps the attack, and calmly gives Sally a couple of stomps to the side before pulling her up and locking in an Abdominal Stretch!

Chase: Normally, we'd probably see The Number try to apply the Octopus Stretch in this situation, but he knows that a man his size doing that move on a 145 pound woman might not be the best idea!

The Number uses his size and height advantage to torque Sally's midsection for a few moments before letting go of the hold and transitioning right into a Tiger Suplex! He bridges his back, pinning her,

Sally kicks out! The Number stays on the attack, stomping her slowly, methodically before reaching down to pull Sally back up to a vertical base.

She then grabs a hold of his arm, places her foot right on his cheek and falls back, hitting the Inverted Stomp Facebreaker! Sally quickly rolls him onto his belly, and places her boot right between his shoulder blades as she pulls back on his arms.

The Number gets the shoulder up!

Harvey: Sally's targeting the head and face of The Number in the early goings of this match, probably looking to try and end this one early!

Chase: As much as I hate to say this, Sally is a smart champion, and knows she needs to keep herself as fresh as possible for her upcoming match with Level-One! A quick win here wouldn't hurt in that regard!

Sally grabs a hold of The Number's head, pulling him up and hooking him in position for a DDT. She runs to the neutral corner and jumps off, going for a Tornado DDT, but The Number shoves her off, sending Sally crashing back first into the mat! She rolls over to her corner, and tags in Pence, while The Number tags in Level-One. The fans are on their feet as the two former rivals step into the ring!

Harvey: Level-One and Pence Weatherlight is a match up these fans can never tire of seeing!

He shoots Pence towards the ropes, and catches “The Reaper” with a Big Boot on the rebound! He pulls Pence right back up and tugs him back in for a Flipping Clothesline, almost knocking Pence right out of his boots! The fans are booing loudly as Level-One begins to stomp Pence, taking his time to let Pence think about each stomp before it comes, all the while mercilessly taunting the home state favorite! Level-One gives Pence an extremely hard stomp to the face before unloading with more rapid-fire stomps with such force that it breaks the skin! Blood starts to slowly trickle down the face of Pence as Level-One reaches down and pulls him up, whipping him back into Level-One's corner!

The Number kicks out!

Harvey: Two near falls for Pence in short succession! If he can keep this up, he could win this one!

Chase: The Number is not going to go down that easy! For all of Pence's mockery, The Number is a proud Overdrive Champion, not to mention the newest member of the Red Shield Mafia, or at least their hired gun!

Pence stays on the attack, getting a mounted position on the number before unloading a few punches to the side of the head of the disturbed genius. The Number gets his arms up to defend himself, and shoves Pence off, giving himself an opening to get back to his feet. Pence tries to get in position for a Side Russian Leg Sweep, but The Number gets his arms wrapped around the rope, causing Pence to fall right on his back! The Number is quick to follow up with a Standing Elbow Drop! He then pulls Pence back up and gives him a couple of European Uppercuts that backs Pence into the hostile corner! Level-One grabs a hold of the tag rope as wraps it around the throat of Pence, choking him! The Number stands between the ref and Pence, pummeling him! Sally tries to come into the ring to point out the blatant cheating to the ref, but in typical referee fashion, the ref instead gets distracted by trying to get Sally back in her corner! Level-One and The Number continue to double team Pence, with Level-One choking him and The Number pounding him with his fists! Finally, the ref turns back, Level-One releases the choke, and The Number tags him in! The two men pull him out of the corner and whip him towards the ropes, and on the rebound, The Number Back Body Drops Pence right into the arms of Level-One, who drives him into the mat with a hard Powerbomb! He goes for the cover,

Sally comes in to break the count! The Number and Level-One continue to double team Pence, stomping the living daylights out of him as the ref leads Sally back to her corner. The Number exits the ring right as the ref looks to be turning back. The boos are loud and numerous as Level-One yells insults to the downed Pence.

Harvey: We're seeing a surprising level of continuity between Level-One and The Number here tonight!

Chase: Well considering how much they both hate Pence Weatherlight, it's not that surprising that they're on the same page in beating the living snot out of him!

Harvey: Still, Pence needs to make a tag in the worst way!

Sally begins to clap for Pence on the apron, and the fans join in, trying to will him on as Level-One gets down to one knee and sits Pence up, placing his knee into the small of Pence's back before applying a Chin Lock! Sally and the fans continue to cheer on Pence as he tries to wriggle his way out of the hold. He manages to work his way to one knee, while Level-One shifts the hold into a Side Headlock. Pence gives Level-One a couple of elbows to the gut, and breaks free of Level-One! He tries to make his way towards his corner, but Level-One grabs him by the head and slams him backwards into the mat! Level-One pulls him right back up, and drags him back towards his team's corner. He gives Pence a DDT and climbs to the top rope, leaping off for the Top Rope Legdrop! He turns Pence over and applies the Cloverleaf Leg Lock! Pence pushes himself up and makes a desperate lunge to the ropes, grabbing a hold of it, prompting the ref to start the 5 count! The Number comes over and stomps Pence's hand, causing him to release the rope. The ref immediately calls for Level-One to let go of the hold, trying his best to pull Level-One off while continuing to count. Level-One lets go at the count of four. The ref tries to hold Level-One back to give Pence room to get up, but to no avail. The ref tries to push Level-One back, allowing The Number to jump off the apron and choke the life out of Pence!

Chase: It wouldn't be the first time Pence stole something here!

Pandemonium has broken out in the crowd, as they cheer Level-One and Pence brawling on the outside, while Sally and The Number square off in the ring!

Chase: The ref has lost control of this one, plain and simple!

The Number put his hand on Level-One's shoulder, trying to turn him around, only to get a punch to the face for his troubles! As soon as the punch hits, the Red Shield Mafia emerges from out of nowhere, and they swarm the ring! Level-One has enough sense to get the heck out of dodge, escaping through the ropes and leaping into the crowd! The RSM gang up on Sally a bit, until Damien Walker points out that Pence is still groggy on the outside. They turn their attention to the man gunning for The Number's Overdrive Championship, all four members exiting the ring in unison, and they proceed to stomp the living daylights out of Pence! As the crowd boos loudly, the cheers turn to boos, as Mark Mania runs down the ramp with a Steel Chair in hand!

Harvey: Mark Mania to the rescue!

He takes a wild swing, knocking J.R. Kingston down with a vicious shot to the back of the head! He levels Diamante Valentine as well before taking a swing at Young Mannie! Damien Walker makes the mistake of trying to take the chair away from Mania, but only serves to get a chair shot of his own right to the face! The Number attacks Mark from behind, but by this point, Pence is up and grabs a hold of the Number, turning him around and delivering the Heavy Artillery right onto the arena floor! Pence and Mania stand tall as The Red Shield Mafia begins to get up and run away! Pence and Mania chase them to the back as Sally starts to come to in the ring. Now that the RSM is gone, Level-One climbs back over the barricade, and slowly begins to make his way back towards the ring, almost as if he's stalking Sally.

Chase: This is his chance to take Sally out!

Level One spots the Heavyweight Title on the commentators table. He snatches it and then gets into the ring. He walks up to Sally, towering over her as he’s slowly making her way to her feet. With the title in hand, Level One holds it as he’s ready to bash her over the head with it.

Harvey: Level One had the opportunity to get the best of Sally, but didn’t.

Chase: What is going on with Level One, this is 2 weeks in a row

Level One then extends his hand to Sally. Sally looks at him not sure what he's planning. She looks at the crowd who are booing and yelling "Don't do it." Level One continues to wait with his hand extended. Sally drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring. The fans cheer for her decision. Sally then heads up the ramp

Harvey: A Strange turn of events here.

Chase: I wonder what this will bring next week.

Harvey: We are out of time, be sure not to miss Overdrive next week as it’s a 3 hour special to celebrate Overdrives 100th Episode.

Chase: Don’t you dare miss it!
