We see Nicky Paige in the ring with the mic to her lips

Paige: Please welcome, The Owner of Action Packed Wrestling…PRESIDENT HURRICANE JEFF!

Raining Blood by Slayer begins to play over the PA and the fans in Daly City jump to their feet in excitement as the Owner of APW, President Hurricane Jeff, walks out to the stage with a clip board in hand.

Harvey: Welcome everyone to Thursday Night Overdrive! And what a way to kick off Overdrive than the President Himself.

Chase: President Jeff has a huge smile on his face here tonight.

Harvey: Can you blame him, With the success of Success of Survive and Conquer last week, who wouldn’t be happy.

Chase: Speaking of Survive and Conquer, Congrats to Ryan Ruckus on winning the match this year. He was the runner up last year, but this year, he got the job done.

President Jeff makes his way down to the ring and walks up the ring steps. He stops and looks at the crowd who give him a loud cheer before he enters the ring. Nicky Paige hands Jeff the mic and Jeff lifts the ropes up for her, helping her out of the ring. Jeff then goes to the middle of the ring and waits for his music to cut off so he can speak.

Jeff: Last Sunday, was one of the biggest events in APW History. The 2011 Survive and Conquer.

The fans blare out cheers for the amazing event

Jeff: It was that night where one man out lasted thirty nine other wrestlers. It was that night where one man won the 500,000 Dollar prize and earned the right to call himself the 2011 Survive and Conquer winner and puts his name next to some of the elite in this business. At this time. Please welcome, your 2011 Survive and Conquer Winner…RYAN RUCKUS!!

The PA crackles to life, with a mechanized voice.

You must die. I alone am best!

And the sold-out audience erupts with jeers, as Ryan Ruckus appears on the ramp. He is dressed in street clothes - red & blue chucks, black cargo pants, a black sports coat with no shirt, and of course, his trademark shades. Clutched tightly in the fist of his left hand is the S&C briefcase, which has been airbrushed across the side with the words: Ryan the Conqueror.

Giving two fingers to the audience, Ruckus saunters to the ring, taking care to glance over his shoulder, as he slides into the ring and pops up next to President Jeff.

Jeff extends his hand and Ryan shakes it. Ryan’s music cuts off and Jeff begins to speak again

Jeff: First off Ryan, Congratulations on winning the Survive and Conquer match. I know it must feel great winning it this year after being the runner up last year. And I must say, I was quite happy to see you back again for the event this year. You we’re the last man to sign up for the event, and you won it. Since winning the event, how has your life changed?

Jeff hands Ryan the mic

R2: Well Jeff, I'm not sleeping in the shady nooks of Hollywood Boulevard anymore, that's for sure. My voicemail and inbox have started blowing up again, and the entertainment world is starting to realize they're not rid of me yet. (beat) Not that it's all rainbows and puppy dogs. You know what Biggie Smalls used to say, 'mo money, mo problems.' (beat) Oh crap, I didn't just trademark infringe the Red Shield Mafia, did I?

Jeff gives the slightest shake of his head.

R2: Good. Then I would say, the single best thing about winning Survive and Conquer was that it put EVERYONE on notice. To all those who doubted me... Those who thought I fell off, disappeared, or died, I'd like to give a big, heartfelt, 'Ruck You.' And to all the guys and girls in the back, I offer a warning. If you thought what I did last Sunday was amazing, you ain't seen nothing yet. Cause I'm just getting warmed up!

Ryan hands Jeff back the mic

Jeff: Now, I asked you out here Ryan not to talk about Survive and Conquer. That event is the past and its time to look towards March 27th and Rasslemania VII. And Ryan Ruckus, I want YOU to be part of that event. So in my hand, is an APW Megastars contract. You sign on the dotted line and you will officially be an APW Mega Star. So what do you say Ryan?

Jeff hands Ryan the clipboard with the contract on it. Ryan pulls down his shades and scans the fine print. Then he looks to the crowd, who seems to have mixed feelings. And just as he’s about to sign it, he is cut off by a voice comming across the PA system.

Level-One: ...wait a second!

The cold blooded Canadian yells out as he steps out onto the ramp. A few seconds later, the rest of the free agency walks out from behind him. The crowd boos as Level-One raises his hand in protest.

Level-One: So this is what it's going to come down to huh, Ruckus? You're going to walk out there and turn your back on the free agency, now that you're the next big thing? You're going to forget everything we've been through? You're just going to throw the fact that the reason you're standing inside that ring right now in your position was in part because of us? What a shame, Ruckus. Amazing how fast you forget where you came from...

Ryan Ruckus goes to speak but Level-One cuts him off.

Level-One: Don't worry, Ruckus. That's fine. We know we're your loyalties lie. The greatest faction in the entire WORLD of professional wrestling is dead all because of you... you screwed us! However, we'll be damned if we let you get away with it, Ryan. You see, you're not going to leave us in the dirt. You aren't going to screw us out of jobs. Me and Dangertainment are going to get our jobs in the APW back because President Jeff is going to give us our contracts.

Level-One stops and pauses as he looks over to James Logan.

Harvey: I think the free agency forgot about James Logan again...

Level-One suddenly rushes James Logan tossing him off the stage sending him crashing down into the tables and electrical wires down below. The crowd begins a ''holy shit'' chant as Level-One backs away from the stage and laughs as he signals for the rest of the free agency to follow his lead.

Level-One: It's about time that one was over with...

Chase: I think he just answered your question, Harvey!

The free agency enters the ring as Level-One marches over to President Jeff. President Jeff stands firm as Level-One get's into his face.

''Six figure buckaroos. We demand it...''

President Jeff looks over to Ryan Ruckus and when Ryan Ruckus steps away not wanting to get involved, President Jeff realizes the demands aren't worth the punishment he may endure. President Jeff obliges and signs a series of the contacts where are brought down to the ring by a stage hand, as the crowd boos.

Harvey: This is just sick!

Chase: Hey, dangertainment is a forced to be reckon with here in the APW; it's only fitting they get the money they deserve! And they have Level-One to thank for making it happen!

Jason Kash, Nate Bishop and Knuckles all pay their respects to Level-One with slaps on the back and handshakes as they make their way out of the ring, gaining the respect of the former APW world champion once and for all. Level-One turns his attention from President Jeff to Ryan Ruckus.

Level-One: ... and now with your fifteen seconds of fame, President Jeff thinks I am going to fight you in tonights main-event? Well, it's not going to happen. It isn't going to happen unless I am resigned to the APW and this match between me and you is at the very least changed to a number one contenders match...

The crowd cheers as Level-One turns to President Jeff.

Level-One: I want Sally Talfourd at Rasslemania, Jeff and I don't give a shit if I have to beat Ryan Ruckus to get there.

Ryan Ruckus extends a hand.

R2: Ruckus at mania? Sounds good to me!

President Jeff interjects.

President Jeff: You got it, then! Tonight, Ryan Ruckus will go one on one with the newly signed Level-One! Where the winner is going on to face Sally Talfourd at Rasslemania for the APW world championship! Good luck to the both you, tonight.

Ryan Ruckus is still left hanging as Level-One reaches over and grabs the contract from Jeff shoving it into the chest of Ryan Ruckus before slowly backing up and exiting the ring VIA the top rope. Level-One slowly backs up the ramp, as he watches Ryan Ruckus sign the contract and officially become an APW superstar as the crowd begins an ''L1 vs. R2'' chant...

Harvey: It's official! Level-One will take on his former ally and survive and conquer winner, Ryan Ruckus! This is a huge, a main-event calibre match that could very well be a Rasslemania headline in of itself!

Chase: I think the Internets have just spontaneously exploded, Harvey....

Overdrive goes to its first commercial.

[President Jeff]

Harvey: I can't beleive it, Matt Ward is the new APW Xtreme Champion

Chase: What an upset!

The ref hands Matt the title and he celebrates the victory as a reply of the finish is shown

Harvey: Unbelievable

Chase: No one thought Matt could do it, but he pulled it off

Matt continues to celebrate as we go backstage

Backstage in the locker room, Blade is sat taping his wrists up for his fight tonight. The doors swings pen and in walks CJ gates and Branden Harvey. Branden is lutching a brown box as he throws it to the floor.

CJ: Hey buddy, there here…

Blade looks up at CJ but continues with the taping, he swiftly looks to the floor.

CJ: Aren’t you excited?

Blade:…

Branden: You better be, these are the future.

Blade stands up and turns his back on CJ and Branden. He slams the locker door shut and attempts to walk out of the locker room. CJ slams his hand into Blade’s chest as he comes to a halt.

CJ: Hey buddy, Whats wrong? You need to turn that frown upside down.

Blade: It’s not that easy.

Branden: Sure it is..

Blade: Branden, I’d keep that mouth shut if I were you.

CJ: Whoa Whoa Whoa. B. You need to keep that attitude under wraps.

Blade: Says who? Everyone that has been hating on me this past week? Or everyone that is telling me to keep my chin up?

Branden: With that attitude, everyone.

CJ: Dude, all we are doing is bringing this new batch of shirts for you to see.

Blade: Maybe that’s not important at the moment.. If you are forgetting, I lost the tag team titles last week. Not you. Not Branden. Me. Maybe you are forgetting you held those titles, or has the survive and conquer result gone to your head?

CJ: Buddy. You don’t mean that.

Branden: Maybe he does..

Blade: Branden, CJ.. Fu..

CJ: Blade, don’t forget where you are coming from.

Blade: CJ, Buddy, Maybe you are forgetting what this is about. I need to go. This result is for me tonight I will do it with or without you. Maybe the Future Vision isn’t what we expected.

Blade slams his shoulder into CJ as he barges out if the locker room. CJ and Branden look at each other, deep in the eyes, astonished at what Blade has just said.

Branden: I’ll go talk to him

Branden leaves the locker room and CJ takes a seat on a steel chair. He’s leaning forward, his elbows on his knees and hands together in front of his face. He sits back in his chair, folding his hands in his lap.

C.J. Gates: Survive and Conquer was exactly what I thought it would be. I was as prepared as I could possibly be, but in the end, victory was not in my cards. And I can accept that. I can even sit here tonight and congratulate Ryan Ruckus on his victory. On that night he was the better man in the match, and he showed it. He earned that money and all the bragging rights that come with it.

I gave it my all, and questions aside, I think I made the right choices when there were choices to make. And I can guarantee you that if you caught Ruckus off camera and away from the spotlight, he would admit that I gave him quite the fight in those final moments. That I just would not quit. I know I shocked quite a few people by making it to the final four and if I couldn't win, I at least wanted to look good losing. And I accomplished that.

Gates smiles as he gets up from his seat.

C.J. Gates: But enough talk about Survive and Conquer, because that is in the past. Right now, I am looking toward the future. I am looking toward my promise of making a name for myself, and proving that I deserve the chances I am not getting. Like a chance to regain the tag team titles.

I will admit that Beautiful Disaster proved that they are worthy of holding those titles. They might not have been able to do it in regulation, but they still got the job done. It's just a bit unsettling to see another team get the first title shot that should have gone to Blade and myself. You can bet that in the near future, we will be looking for our rematch and a chance at redemption. So Brandon, Kaycee, don't get too comfortable holding those titles. Because it won't be as easy as you two are hoping it will be.

Gates smiles again, as he walks across the room and back again.

C.J. Gates: Now on to this week, and to DangerTainment. I'm sure that by now, you guys are sitting high some place, thinking you have this match in the bag. Looking down at your opponents and thinking the situation laughable. One man is trying to figure out his career, another is trying to get his career going, while the third, myself, has so much on his mind. You're probably thinking that this will be an easy ride, right?

Well, I can assure you that it will be anything but. I can assure you that I won't be letting you get away with an easy win. Whatever tricks you might have up your sleeves will only work against you. This is a chance for you to prove yourselves, but it is a chance that you will not capitalize on. Because even if I have my head filled with personal life issues, I will still be one hundred percent focused come match time.

And as every other tag team has realized, whether I am in the ring or on the apron, I am always a factor. I am a force to be reckoned with, especially with everything laying ahead of me. To recapture the tag team titles, we will have to make an example of you guys, which is a task that we will accomplish. And in doing so, we will be able to show everyone the true future of APW.

And that future is not you, Donkey Kong. And it's definitely not Kash.

Gates flashes another smile.

C.J. Gates: See you guys in the ring.

The scene fades to commercial

[President Jeff]

Winner: Pence Weatherlight

Pence celebrate his victory as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

WE come backstage where "The Real Show" Terry Marvin is walking out of his locker room in preperation for his match. APW back stage interviewer Hannah Storm catches up and tries to get a word with him.

Hannah: "Terry! Can I get a few words with you before your match?"

Terry pauses and lets out a deep sigh. It's obvious he's focused on his match, and could do without the distractions. He turns around and takes his sunglasses off, looking Hannah in the eye.

Terry Marvin: "Make it quick sweetheart, I'm kinda in the middle of something if you haven't noticed."

Hannah: "Last week, you were the runner up in the Survive and Conquer match, outlasting 38 other competitors, getting through the Cage match and street fight to go one on one with Ryan Ruckus in that hellatious Hell in a cell ladder match...."

Terry gets impatient and cuts her off.

Terry Marvin: "Where Ryan Ruckus went on to win, blah blah blah. I was there, don't really need the recap."

He goes to walk of, but she catches up with him, talking while they walk.

Hannah: "In that match, you took one nasty fall off the cage, off a ladder and through a table. And here you are, ready to compete against Sally Talfourd. Are your injuries going to prohibit you at all?"

Terry Marvin: "My Injuries? Hannah, I've wrestled marathon matches with broken legs. I've battled in rumbles with herniated disks. I once fought in an ironman match with a dislocated SHoulder. Now, with my biggest singles match since joining APW, you think I'm going to bow out because of a few scrapes and bruises? You'll soon find out that I'm one of the TOUGHEST sons of bitches to ever step foot in Action Packed Wrestling. It's going to take a HELL of a lot more than that to stop me."

Terry continues walking, quickening the pace, but Hannah keeps up.

Hannah: "Well, what about Ryan Ruckus. Do you see a grudge match in your future with him?"

This causes Terry to stop and look at her questioningly.

Terry Marvin: "Grudge match? Why the hell would I hold a grudge against Ryan Ruckus. He put his heart and soul into that match, and on that day he was the better man. I don't care what tactics he used, I don't care if people call what he did 'cheating'.... He EARNED my respect. If we step in the ring again, and I hope we do, he will be a competitor, nothing more, and I will once again push him to the verry edge of his limits. BUt no...there is no ill will there."

Hannah: "Well, what about your match with Sally Talfourd. Do you have any thoughts on that?"

Terry Marvin : "My God, you never shut up do you?"

He shakes his head and scowls at the camera.

Terry Marvin:"My match against Sally Talfourd is my chance, my opertunity to really stand out in the APW and make up for my shortcommings last week. Tonight, one on one with the APW Champion, I will show every single person in that backstage area JUST what I'm made of. And Sally Talfourd...she will see what The Real Show is all about first hand. Now if you'll excuse me....IT's SHOWTIME!"

We come back to ringside with Young Mannie, J.R Kingson and Damian Walker already in the ring

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, being accompanied by Damian Walker. They are the team of Young Mannie, JR Kingston, The RED SHIELD MAFIA!

[That one phrase echoes through the arena as everything goes black. Video footage of a red sunset burning over the Arizona skyline appears on the screen through a thin layer of static. While that happens, Dr Death Defying continues his radio call in that same weird, echoey, staticy voice...]

Look alive, Sunshine
109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit
You're here with me: Dr. Death Defying
I'll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicopter
Pumpin' out the slaughtermatic sounds to keep you alive
A system failure for the masses, empty matter for the master plan
Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny

[The sun seems to get brighter and brighter, almost blindingly bright red until it bursts, the arena washed in crimson light that seemingly colors the air as a result.]

This one's for all of you rock'n'rollers
All you crash queens and motor babies, Listen u...

[A golden tornado blasts through the red and hits the front of the screen, shattering it as "Awake and Alive" by Skillet replaces the weird noise. Gold and red spotlights swirl over the assembled crowd as Brandon and Kaycee Young come out from behind the curtain and onto the stage.Brandon is wearing a sleeveless hooded jacket with a flaming sword piercing through the Nextwave Autobot logo, the hood obscuring his face, and black pants with the same design running down the sides, but with with "Y O U N G G U N" written down each side, with the G and N of the "GUN" written above and below the U in YOUNG making a cross shape, written down each side in fiery gold font while his wife is wearing a pair of black bootcut spandex pants covered in a screen-print of feathers paired with a sports-bra-like top of the same material, a bright red sleeveless trenchcoat with the Nextwave Autobot logo on the back framed with a pair of angel's wings. Brandon is bouncing and bounding around much as he always does… and it turns out that his energy is infectious, since it has his wife doing the same thing, the duo criss-crossing the stage as they pump up the crowd.

Paige: And their opponent, from Tucson Arizona, Weighing in at a combined weight of 377 pounds, they are the Current, Reigning and defending APW Tag Team Champions. Brandon Young…Kaycee Young…They Are….BEAUTIFUL DISASTER!

Meeting up in the center, Brandon smirks as he hauls his wife into a kiss while gold sparks rain down upon them. After the last of the pyro has fallen, the embrace ends, Kaycee blushing a little as she and her husband make their way down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans as they go. Brandon races to the ring before Kaycee, hopping up onto the apron with his back against the ropes. As Kaycee follows him down he grabs her and pulls her up onto the apron, and then holds the ropes open as any gentlemen should before sliding in himself. They both hit a turnbuckle and play to the crowd before the song fades out.]

Winner and Still APW Tag Team Champions: Beautiful Disaster

Beautiful Disasters music begins to play and they celebrate their victory.

Harvey: Beautiful Disaster barely pulled out the victory here.

Chase: Two people to pin one person, how is that even legal. They cheated and the ref did nothing.

They continue to celebrate as they go up the ramp and the Red Shield Mafia regroup.

Suddenly, fans start screaming, as Cid Phoenix comes sprinting down the aisle.

Harvey: Here comes Cid Phoenix!!!

Chase: Don't you mean XXX Fire? I mean a guy who changes his name twice has serious issues..

Cid Phoenix slides under the ropes and gets on his feet to start attacking both Mannie & Kingston with haymakers. The crowd screams as Diamante Valentine comes running down the aisle to get in the ring, and nail Cid with a chop block. Cid falls to the mat, as now all three men begin to stomp away at him mercilessly.

Chase: That's what I'm talking about! The Red Shield Mafia is laying into Cid for stickin' his nose where it doesn't belong!

Harvey: This has just gone way to far! The Red Shield Mafia has already cost him his chance at the Xtreme Title, and now they are quite literally trying to annihilate him in the ring right now!

Suddenly a man armed with a chair, jumps over the barricade and slides into the ring, unbeknownst to the Red Shield Mafia members. Mannie turns around to get nailed with a haymaker of a chairshot and drops stiff as a board flat on his back.

Chase: What the?!? Some crazed fan just jumped the barricade and took Mannie out with a chair!

Kingston sees the man and advances, but gets jabbed in the gut with the same chair, then waylaid across the back. He rolls outside in a daze... as the man slams the chair to the mat, and turns his attention to Diamante Valentine, who sees him and stops his assault on Cid Phoenix...

Chase: And now there goes Kingston!!! Who the hell IS this guy?!

Harvey: Waitaminute! That's no crazed fan... That-That's Danny Crane!!!

Inside the ring, Crane slams the chair to the mat, and turns his attention to Diamante Valentine, who turns and sees him, stopping his assault on Cid Phoenix...

Chase: Get outta there, Valentine!!!

Harvey: What is going on here?!?

Valentine charges with a clothesline, but Crane ducks under it and as Valentine turns around, he gets greeted with a flash paper fireball, blinding him and dropping him to his knees and rolling around on the mat. Kingston tries to get back in the ring, but a baseball slide by Cid into his legs, sends him crashing down sideways and jaw -first into the apron. Cid and Crane look at eachother and then look around the arena, as fans start to stamp their feet in a deafening crescendo..

Harvey: Crane just about took out the Red Shield Mafia single-handedly!

Chase: Yeah, well let's not get it twisted, Harvey! He used a damn chair!

Crane grabs Diamante Valentine by the hair, dragging him to his feet, as Cid Phoenix nods to him and begins to climb the turnbuckles. .

Harvey: What are these two preparing to do??

Chase: I don't know, but this is a travesty! Who invited Crane here?!?

Crane motions a thumbs down taunt, before planting Valentine with an exploder suplex..

Harvey: What a devastating suplex by Crane!!!

Chase: Attacking the man for no reason... What's the hell's Cid doing on the top rope?!?

Cid Phoenix is up on the top turnbuckle, and makes a slow cut-throat gesture before leaping forward, twisting his body around in a mid-air spiral before crashing down hard upon Diamante Valentine. The crowd goes insane, as Cid Phoenix gets up and makes a sweeping gesture with his foot at Valentine, before climbing opposite turnbuckles with Danny Crane and further firing up the crowd.

Chase: This is just wrong! Where the hell is security!

Harvey: I don't know where security is, but I know where we're going! We're taking a commercial break!

[President Jeff]

And we're back from commercial. You'll have to resist racing out and snapping up the latest sales from BestBuy to watch as OverDrive kicks into full throttle. The camera is back on the crowd going wild before we cut to the backstage lockers. One in particular, that being the home of The Exchange Rate plus One. Blade, CJ Gates, and Branden Harvey

Branden: That reminds me! Tell me you all saw Sally's Happy Ending today.

Blade: Come on man, I had to pack my stuff, get ready, some last minute training, travel all the way here … *CJ and Branden both look at him a little sceptical* … yeah, I saw it.

CJ: I watched it with him.

Branden: What did you think? Think she's gone off the deep end?

Blade: It wouldn't be the first person to go there. She'd just another person to try and stop us, prevent us from making it back into our rightful spots. I figured it was only a matter of time before she cracked too.

CJ: Guys, we're clearly overlooking the fact that she has it out for me. She did a number on me! And, well, it was only a week after we formed a damn good team in at Survive and Conquer.

Suddenly the door whips open and, well, speak of the Devil! Sally Talfourd comes marching in as if she owns the place. She stops quickly though as she looks around, a little weirded out.

Sally: Oh, my mistake. I thought this was a different locker room. Don't let me interrupt …

Branden: No, come in in. Come chill out with us for a little while.

Sally: I couldn't do that to you guys. I'm sure you were talking about … tactics. Or maybe your favourite Hooters' experience? Either way, I should be …

Blade looks at CJ, and mouths “See?” as Sally tries to sneak out of the room. CJ is quick to his feet and gets to the door before she can escape. He carefull grabs her by the arm.

CJ: Sally, while we have you here …

Sally: You don't. *Sally looks down at CJ's hand on her arm. He removes it and Sally beams a smile at him* I'm … ummm, not here. You're imagining things CJ. Just like that time with that hot girl …

CJ: Seriously Sally? You're going to say all that trash about us … about me and just walk away?

Sally: That was the plan … well actually, no. That wasn't the plan. The original plan was to avoid you all all night. I guess that's not going to happen anymore … *Sally looks around the room, to the door which is only a few steps away, but oh-so far in everyone's mind, then lets out a sigh, followed by a laugh* Ok, CJ, what's the issue?

CJ: Well, first of all, did you call me a girl?

Sally: Maybe …

CJ: You said that the position of the good girl, who plays by the rules, was the position I took, right?

Sally: And why would anyone take offence to being called a woman? I mean, is there something offensive in being a woman to you? Should I be offended at being a woman? Well? *Sally builds up the objection in her, a shocked look on her face giving way to one waiting for an answer from CJ. Nothing. She smiles and turns to leave* If that's everything …

CJ: You said a match against me was a bad thing, one of the lowest things you could do, right?

Sally: Well, CJ, you have to look at things in perspective. I mean, what does it say if the World Heavyweight Champion is wrestling in more matches against someone who might just be one-half of the greatest tag team APW has known? *Sally goes to continue, but stops herself short. She lets out an over-the-top gasp, and puts a palm on her chest* Oh! I see where the problem is. You thought I meant it was bad thing for me! No, CJ! It's a bad thing for you! I wouldn't possibly want to take any time away from you trying to be the best wrestler that you can be. And that means sticking with your great partner over there *Sally gestures over to Blade* and getting those much deserved tag team titles back! *Sally pats CJ on the shoulder with a smile* Now if that's everything ...

Blade: She's good, man. She could get out of a foxhole in no time.

Sally laughs, and she knows exactly what Blade means but she plays dumb. She smiles at everyone as she turns for the door, then smiles to herself, thinking she's got away with a crime in daylight just now.

CJ: One last thing Sally. *Sally stops as she is halfway through the door, nearly out to the freedom that the corridors hold for her* I road the coattails of people better than me? Did you mean how we worked as a team to get to the final four of the Survive and Conquer match?

Sally turns back around and slams the door, hard. She's right in CJ's face. She catches everyone off-guard, no one able to stop her from going chest-to-chest with CJ. Blade slowly stands up from his bench, carefully dropping his boot down onto his bag to not draw any attention to his movement. Branden, on the other hand, moves over to the door, making sure there's no easy escape from anything that might go down here.

Sally: And so what if I said that? Maybe that's what I saw. Maybe that's what I think you did to me. And maybe I'm not the only one who thinks that. Everyone knows Blade was the guy carrying your team. And Branden, well, you only hang around with him because he's the guy who takes the beatings that should involve you. You have a tag team match with me, and some win that doesn't mean anything, and all of a sudden you think you're a main event star? You get an OverDrive main event against me and you milk it for a spot in Survive and Conquer. *Sally inches just a little closer, her voice dropping* And then, when you're in that match, you just latch on to the number one chance of winning to make it to the final four. Yeah, I said you ride coattails. You want to argue with all that, CJ?

Sally stands there, waits for an answer. CJ looks down Sally, then back up. He shakes his head, then steps back from her. Sally steps away with a tired laugh and turns for the door. She finds Branden there, holding place at the door. She gives him a look that might be strong enough to explode a garden gnome. Branden looks to CJ, and he gives him a subtle signal to step aside. Branden moves out of the way. Sally whips open the door, the only thing to break the silence that's thick with tension. Before she's gone, CJ is quick to get in ...

CJ: What happened to you, Sally?

Sally: Nothing!

And with a slam, the door is closed. CJ, Blade and Branden are left standing there, dumbfounded at what just happened.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

The beginning riffs of "Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence, begins to play, as the light's in the arena dim down and a spot light appears at the top of the ramp. Alexandra Callaway makes her way out onto the top of the ramp. She poses as the song's speed begins to pick up and the ring announcer steps into the ring. Lifting the microphone to her lips, she begins to speak.

Paige: From Dallas, Texas, The Queen of Hardcore, Alexandra Callaway.

Alexandra makes her way down the ramp, not touching the fans hands. Some cheer for her, some boo her, but she just shrugs them off and continues on her way to the ring. She slips into the ring, under the bottom rope, and climbs up onto the turnbuckle. She smirks evilly, and then poses, her arms up and in the rock on symbol. She jumps down and waits for her opponent, stretching on the ropes and stopping just as the opponent's music starts and she stares up the ramp at them.

The lights dim. The arena goes silent. And suddenly... boom! A whipping noise echoes throughout the arena followed by a man screaming in pain. Out emerges Jessica Pagan with a whip in-hand, and dressed in sexy black and red leather.

Paige: And her opponent, from Bangkok Thailand, JESSICAN PAGAN!

The fans awe at her from ringside as she makes her way to the ring with a cocky grin on her face.

Jessica Pagan Vs Alexandra Callaway


The moment the bell rings, Jessica Pagan rushes Alexandra Callaway for a Clothesline but Callaway ducks. Instead of running past her into the ropes, Pagan puts on the breaks and turns on Callaway, grabbing her violently and going for the Femdom but Callaway squirms out and rolls out of the ring.

Harvey: These two are making their APW In Ring debut tonight

Chase: I love seeing women in APW. Makes me feel less gay…Not that theres anything wrong with that

The fans start booing and heckling Alexandra Callaway. She steps over to a fan and starts jaw jacking with him while Pagan runs the ropes. Alexandra Callaway turns around just in time for Pagan to fly over the top rope to the outside, catching Callaway with a flying Neckbreaker into the steel guard rail. Pagan starts viciously stomping Alexandra Callaway in the face and grabs her by the hair, tossing her face first into the ring steps.

Chase: These girls are getting down and dirty, I love it

Harvey: Your such a perv. Your gonna get us kicked off the air with comments like those

Pagan rolls Alexandra Callaway back into the ring. Callaway quickly rolls to her feet as Pagan hooks her for a DDT. Alexandra Callaway shoves her off and, when Pagan turns around, hits her with a Dropkick. Alexandra Callaway quickly covers Pagan.

Winner: Alexandra Callaway

Alexandra's music begins to play and she celebrates her victory as we go backstage


Cindy Shannon is backstage, with Cid Phoenix and Danny Crane.

Cindy: Hello, APW Universe! I'm Cindy Shannon here with Cid Phoenix, who stands here now alongside Danny Crane. Gentlemen, can I ask what motivated this reunion that has rocked the APW?

Cid: You know, Cindy... Time and time again, I found myself at the mercy of The Red Shield Mafia! They've cost me so much since my arrival here in the APW. And recently, they made sure to keep that Xtreme Title strap around the waist of that paper champion, Diamante Valentine! And I'm fine with that, because his day will come sooner or later! But as I hung my head down, beaten and defeated by the combined efforts of three losers who just can't seem to fight fair, and rely on cheap tactics to ensure victory, I found I had to make the most important call of my career. And I called this man, "D.C." Danny Crane. And I told him that it was time. Time for us to get back together again and give it one more go! We've been champions before elsewhere. And together we can become champions again, here in the APW!

Cindy: Now, if I remember correctly, Dan.. You Decided to leave wrestling altogether, following a widely publicized scandal that involved the both of you as "The Anti-Establishment" tag team. Why have you come back?

DC: Well, Cindy.. I missed it. And Cid told me he felt something was missing and that something was me. We've watched eachother's backs for a long time, and watching him continuously get pummeled by the likes of the Red Shield Mafia... I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to come back to help a friend in need. AND Speaking of the Red Shield Mafia... You idiots wanna try and run roughshod over Cid? Let's see the three of you try and run roughshod over the two of us! We're challenging you to a 3 on 2 handicap tag team match! That's right, fellas! Name the time and place, It'll be you guys versus the team of D.C. & The Notorious Cid... but you guys can just call us The Anti-Establishment!!!

Danny Crane pats Cid on the back and the two of them walk off screen, leaving Cindy Shannon to close out the interview..

Cindy: There you have it, folks! Cid Phoenix and Danny Crane, The Anti-Establishment, issuing a challenge to the Red Shield Mafiafor an unprecedented 3 on 2 handicap tag team match!

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The scene cuts in as Branden Harvey is walking back stage when suddenly; he’s ambushed from behind by a guy in a black mask. He grabs Harvey’s head and slams it into the hard concrete wall. He picks up Harvey and slams him through a table that was covered Styrofoam coffee cups and doughnuts.

Harvey: Oh my God. It's the mystery man that has been attacking Branden Harvey.

Chase: This is the first time we've caught a glimpse of him. I'm going to look at his build and try to figure out who he is.

The man continues to stomp away on Harvey until he notices security running to help him. He runs off down the hall as Branden is helped up. Harvey shoves one of the security guards to the side in anger and starts his way towards the ring.

Harvey: Branden Harvey seems to be headed towards the ring.

Chase: I wonder what he's going to do.

"Fuel” by Metallica hits the speakers. Branden Harvey walks through the curtain holding his chest in pain. He walks with such purpose that the fans throughout the arena don’t know whether to cheer him or show sympathy. He leaps into the ring and immediately grabs a mic.

Branden: THAT IS IT!! I am so sick and tired of being attacked from behind. For weeks, you tortured me for no good reason. Try being a man and come to the ring. Face me head to head for once, you coward.

Harvey: Is he going to finally reveal himself?

Chase: I wouldn't. As angry as he is, Branden is liable to kill him.

A rustle is seen coming through the crowd as the man wearing that same familiar black mask leaps the guard rail and slides into the ring. He stops and stares at Harvey who is standing opposite of him. Branden drops the mic and motions for the man to attack him. He begs for a fight as the man just stands there with his hands wide out.

Harvey: Here we go.

Suddenly both men charge at each other with Harvey getting the takedown. Harvey gets a full mount and starts throwing fist after fist in frustration. The man rolls him over in full guard and starts to drop elbow after elbow. The man stands and picks Harvey up just to whip him off the ropes only to have Harvey come flying back at him with a huge drop kick sending him over the top rope and to the outside.

The crowd erupts as it seems Harvey has the upper hand. Harvey goes to the outside only to catch a low blow by the masked man who then sends him flying into the metal corner steps. Harvey winces in pain as he’s thrown into the ring by the masked man who grabs a light tube from under the ring. As Harvey starts to get up, the masked man slams it across his head shattering it into pieces and cutting Branden open bad enough to make him bleed.

Harvey: Branden Harvey is busted wide open!

Chase: I know. Isn't it great?

The masked man looks on and just starts to mock Harvey hovering over him. Harvey can barely move as the man in the mask stands straight up and removes the mask.

Harvey: OH MY GOD!!! IT'S JOHNNY KNUCKLES!!!!!

Chase: Isn't this exciting? What a way to make an impact in APW.

Knuckles stares at Harvey slightly covered in blood and just grins. After a few moments, he reaches over and grabs the mic.

Knuckles: How does it feel Harvey? How does it feel to be out classed in a division you don’t belong in? Why you ask? It’s simple really. I’ve spent my entire career fighting up hill. I’ve bleed for this business more times over than anybody. When we met for the first time last month at the Nasty 8 Tournament, it was you, the APW Xtreme Champion, VS me, at the time, the Undefeated UWF Hardcore Champion. They pinned two “Hardcore” individuals, “Sonic” VS “Knuckles” in the first round of the tournament. How ironic right?

Yes we all get the joke, get over it cuz’ it’s very very old. I won’t get into details Harvey, but the fact is it was ME who went to the finals of that tournament to face the legendary Brad Jackson in a BRUTAL light tube cage match, NOT Branden Harvey….NOT Sally Talfourd….ME!

Harvey: From what I understand, Branden Harvey was disqualified.

Chase: This is wrestling. A win's a win.

Knuckles: So what does that have to do with now? You didn’t DESERVE to hold such a title. I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am everything that I said I am. Since then Branden, there have been political issues which is why I dropped my title off on the doorstep of some lucky jackass and left UWF for good. There was NO competition there. So since I came here, you happened to be the unfortunate individual amongst a few others who have felt my presence. Maybe NOW people will take me and Dangertainment seriously. My road to the Xtreme Championship begins with you Branden. I will make an example out of you and I hereby put the rest of the division on notice. Be prepared for war……

Harvey: Johnny Knuckles sending the Xtreme Championship divison a message here tonight.

Chase: I love this guy. Great Acquisition for APW.

Knuckles heads out of the ring and up the ramp as the paramedics come rushing down to help Harvey and the crowd boo’s and throws things at him. Knuckles just looks back and grins as he disappears through the curtain. Harvey is helped out of the ring and to his feet but Harvey doesn't want to be helped and shoves the paramedics away and tries to walk back up the ramp on his own two feet and we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the APW Overdrive Championship!

The lights in the arena go off as red lights flash in a form of a cross in front of the entrance. "Second Coming" by Juelz Santana suddenly blasts through the speakers as smoke fills the ramp and Criss Cassidy slides through the curtains and onto the main stage.

Paige: Making his way to the ring first, the challenger weighing in at 205 pounds, from Brooklyn, New York, “The Second Coming” Criss Cassidy!

Harvey: Criss Cassidy came up just short in his bid to become Overdrive Champion at Survive and Conquer, falling prey to the UFO Frogsplash from Biggs. Still, he put up a heck of a fight, and looks to make up for his loss here tonight!

Chase: What malarkey that he even gets a second chance!

The lights come back on as Cassidy makes his way to the ring dressed in a dark red trench coat with the hood over his head. A large diamond chain with a holy cross pendant hangs from his neck as Cassidy walks up the steps and slides into the ring.



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. Biggs enters to a chorus of boos, with the Overdrive Title around his waist, flashing his trademark smirk before making his way down the ramp to the ring.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing in at 217 pounds, from Seattle, Washington, he is the APW Overdrive Champion, Biggs!

At this point, Johnny Chase stands up at the announce table and starts clapping for Biggs.

Chase: C'mon Darren, stand up and applaud the greatest Overdrive Champion APW has ever seen!

Harvey: No thank you.

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. Before the ref can call for the bell, Biggs snatches the mic from Nikki Paige, and begins to speak as the crowd boos him loudly.

Biggs: Now I've had a lot of people question me as to why I would want to defend my APW Overdrive Championship each and every week leading up to RassleMania. Some people have said I'm crazy, others have accused me of arrogance, but the fact of the matter is that I want to prove that I'm not just a paper champion. While the fact that I'm the only person in history to have held the APW Overdrive Championship three times already qualifies me as the greatest Overdrive Champion in history, I thought that I'd like to put my money where my mouth is, and remove all doubt! By successfully defending my title each week on the way to RassleMania, by being the fightingest Overdrive Champion ever, it will only help my legacy, and will make it impossible for anyone else to ever claim that they are a better champion than I am!

At this point, Cassidy calls for a mic, and a member of the ring crew hands it to him.

Cassidy: Blah, blah, blah! Biggs, you sure must like the sound of your voice an awful lot with how much you keep talking about yourself. I say shut up and fight!

This draws loud cheers from the fans, and Biggs glares at Cassidy.

Biggs: That's cute, Cassidy, but I don't think you're in any position to be telling me what to do! I'm the champion, and you're not! I'll finish talking when I darn well please!

At this point, Cassidy lunges towards Biggs and gives him a series of hard punches to the face, forcing Biggs to drop the mic and prompting the ref to call for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Overdrive Championship Match
Biggs © vs. “The Second Coming” Criss Cassidy

[/u]

Cassidy continues to land solid punches to the face of Biggs, backing him into the corner before nailing with a Haymaker that leaves Biggs dazed in the corner! Cassidy then takes a couple of steps back and runs in, nailing the Overdrive Champion with the Stinger Splash! As Biggs stumbles out of the corner, Cassidy clutches him and takes him to the mat with the Russian Leg Sweep! The fans are in a frenzy as Cassidy climbs up to the top turnbuckle!

Harvey: Cassidy could be going for the Nightmare here! If he hits it, he'll definitely become Champion!

Chase: Nononononononono!

Cassidy leaps off the turnbuckle, performing the Shooting Star Press into a 5 Star Frogsplash, but Biggs rolls out of the way at the very last second! Cassidy holds his gut in pain as Biggs gets to his feet and gives Cassidy a hard Soccer Kick to the back before getting down to both knees and grabbing a hold of Cassidy's side, delivering a series of Ultimate Knee Strikes to the back of Cassidy! After about six shots, Biggs rolls Cassidy onto his belly, and applies a Camel Clutch!

Chase: The champ is working the back and midsection of Cassidy early on here!

Harvey: It's doubtful that Biggs will get the submission this early, but this move will wreck havoc on Cassidy's neck and lower back!

As Biggs has the hold locked in, he uses one of his arms to give Cassidy some clubbing Crossface Forearm Shots! The fans clap loudly for Cassidy, trying to will him on, but since Biggs is the bigger man, for once, Cassidy had some trouble trying to slip out. Still, Biggs realizes that Cassidy is showing no signs of submitting this early into the match, and gives Cassidy a rather nasty Crossface Forearm Shot before releasing the hold. Biggs pulls Cassidy up and whips him into the ropes, hoisting him up for a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, which Cassidy somehow counters into a Hurricarana! The fans go crazy at the amazing counter!

Harvey: How the heck did he counter into a Hurricarana! Amazing athleticism by Criss Cassidy right there!

Chase: Even I got to admit that was impressive.

As Biggs gets back to his feet, Cassidy runs to the ropes, bouncing off the gain momentum, catching Biggs with a Corkscrew Body Press in the middle of the ring! As Biggs is getting back up, Cassidy grabs him, and pulls him back up, quickly delivering a Fisherman's Suplex, bridging into a pin, 1

Biggs kicks out once more!

Harvey: Cassidy is stringing together an impressive series of offense that if Biggs doesn't find some way to slow it down, his title is in serious jeopardy!

Cassidy has a hold of Biggs' head, and as he begins to pull him up, Biggs reaches up and gives him a Rake across the eyes, drawing loud boos from the fans! The ref admonishes Biggs as he gets back to his feet, and gives Cassidy a couple of European Uppercuts before whipping Cassidy to the ropes and nailing him with a Leg Lariat on the rebound! Biggs then pulls Cassidy back up and gets behind him, performing a quick German Suplex! Biggs has an arrogant smirk on his face as he steps out onto the apron, grabbing a hold of the top rope before pulling off a Slingshot Flipping Leg Drop across the throat of Criss Cassidy! Cassidy is coughing and holding his throat as Biggs goes for a cover, 1

He then pulls the Overdrive Champ back up, whipping him into the corner and running in for a Stinger Splash!

Cassidy turns his focus back to Biggs, pulling him back to his feet and whipping the champ towards the ropes! Biggs ducks the attempted Clothesline on the rebound, and springs off the opposite ropes, back flipping to catch Cassidy with a fluid Springboard Flipping Inverted DDT! The fans are cursing at the top of their lungs as Biggs stands above Cassidy, motioning for him to get up, and as Cassidy does, Biggs comes up behind him, clubbing him in the back to hunch him over, places his knee on the back of Cassidy's head, grabbing his arm and spinning back to bring Cassidy Crashing Down to Earth! Biggs goes for the cover, 1

Winner: Biggs[/center]

Paige: Here is your winner, and still APW Overdrive Champion, Biggs!

Chase: Woohoo! Another successful defense for Biggs! He's my favorite, y'know!

Harvey: Yes, I'm painfully aware of this. A great effort by Cassidy, but in the end, not enough to upend Biggs as the Overdrive Champ!

“Spaceman” blares over the arena as Biggs exits the ring and snaps at the time keeper to keep a hold of his title as he puts his ring jacket and shades back on. Cassidy rolls out of the ring and heads back up the ramp as Biggs clasps the Overdrive Title back around his waist and re-enters the ring, dancing and celebrating his victory! The fans continue to boo as Overdrive goes to a commercial break.

[President Jeff]

We come back from commercial and we see President Jeff in his office. With him is a backstage female worker who has just brought him a bottle of water. On the wall in his office is the Rasslemania VII poster. Jeff looks at it and points to it for the female worker to see

Jeff: You see that, Rasslemania VII. One of the biggest wrestling events of the year. Never in a million years did I think we’d get Rasslemania VII after I created Rasslemania. Most companies don’t even get to do their biggest show of the year, but look at me, I’m doing my 7th.

Just then, Biggs walks into Jeff’s office, still in his ring gear and the Overdrive Title over his shoulder. Jeff looks at the worker

Jeff: You may go

The worker runs off

Jeff: Thanks for knocking Biggs, I appreciate it.

Biggs: The door was open, I figured I’d let myself in.

Jeff: What do you want Biggs.

Biggs: I just wanted to let you know, as you can see, I successfully defended my Overdrive Championship tonight against Criss Cassidy. Which makes me Undefeated in 2011. And I also wanted you to know that I still plan on defending my title EVERY WEEK leading to Rasslemania.

Jeff: Well Biggs, I’m glad you still feel that way, because I got your opponent for next week already lined up for you.

Biggs: Is that so? Who is it?

Jeff: Well, here’s the problem, I can’t tell you who it is.

Biggs: Why the heck not?

Jeff: See Biggs, I know you want to be known as the greatest APW Overdrive Champion of all time, and I can respect that. But for you to truly have that title, I need to throw you a curve ball every once in a while. Normally Biggs, you know who your opponent is and you can study your opponent and be prepared for your match. Well next week Biggs, your going in blind. There’s no way to prepare for this Biggs. This is a true test.

Biggs: True test or not, I don’t care who you put up against me. Because I will successfully defend my title every week. I will walk into Rasslemania as the Overdrive Champion and I will walk out of Rasslemania still the Overdrive Champ.

Jeff: Good luck next week Biggs.

Biggs: All I’m going to say, If its Pence Weatherlight, then you better watch your back because I’m coming after you.

Jeff smiles

Jeff: You just never know Biggs.

Biggs walks off as Jeff continues to smile and we go back to ringside.

The lights Dim down as The vocal introduction to the music is played. Blue and silver lights illuminate the Entrance way and Pyro goes off as soon as the Music kicks in. "The Real Show" Terry Marvin makes his way down the ramp jawing and messing with the fans all the way down.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, he is the runner up of the 2011 Survive and Conquer match. This is…TERRY MARVIN!

He rolls into the ring and poses on the turnbuckle, holding his arms out like the people should warship him.

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 APW World Heavyweight Champion 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: And his opponent. Making her way to the ring this evening, weighing in at a sublime one-hundred and forty pounds, standing in at five feet and ten inches of perfection, this is Sally Talfourd!

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. She takes off her belt and holds it next to her face, pointing at it and pointing at her. The crowd still cheers for the adorable Sally once she hands over her belt, the ref raising it to the crowd, as she starts to stretch for the match.

Terry is making it to a seated position, showing his disappointment. Sally snatches the microphone from the ref as she stands up, then turns to Terry.

Sally: Ladies and gentlemen, that was one tough match. Now you know why this man came second at Survive and Conquer!

*Sally walks over to Terry and pats him on the shoulder*

She holds out her hand to him, an offer of a shake. He looks at it, and the crowd around him who are all applause at the prospect. He stands, looks Sally over then finally takes her hand. The two smile at each other, then exchange some words. Terry nods at Sally, then leaves the ring to her. As he is part-way up the ramp, Sally brings the microphone back to her lips.

Sally: Like I said, that man really does deserve the second place. Why? Because he couldn't finish the job then, just like you couldn't finish the job now, could you Terry!

*Sally beams a smile up at Terry, who has stopped and turned to see what she has to say*

Sally: Don't look at me. Don't you dare look at my ring! Can you hear that?

*Sally raises a hand to her ear, the crowd going into a faint buzz*

Sally: That's my applause. Those are my cheers. These are my fans! This is for winners, this ring. Not … second place.

Terry yells something back at Sally, who flees back to the ropes and yells at the ref to get him and his security friends to back Terry off. They oblige, and try to get Terry backstage. He throws up his hands in anger and storms off. Sally smiles and raises her hands to herself. There's a scattering of applause, but … just as many boos? Really? Sally lets out a laugh, takes a bow, then climbs through the ropes and makes for the backstage and we cut backstage

The scene opens with Cindy Shannon walking up to a beaten, bloodied, and broken "Supersonic" Branden Harvey. He doesn't look all that supersonic at the moment. She has a microphone in her hand.

Cindy: "Supersonic" Branden Harvey, earlier tonight, you went to the ring and called out your mystery attacker, only to find out it was Johnny Knuckles. You face Knuckles later tonight. Your thoughts?

Branden has a look on his face we haven't seen since he was trying to convince people he was a demon. But there's a difference. This time, the look is real. And it's scary.

Branden: What are my thoughts, Cindy? That man cost me a shot at the Xtreme Championship. That man has attacked me week after week for no other reason than to "prove a point." Now, I have a point to prove. This match is no longer about the Six-Man Tag. It's no longer about The Exchange Rate and Branden harvey teaming up. It's not even about Sonic vs. Knuckles. Not anymore. Cindy, it's time I get my revenge. AJ King is no longer my target for this match. Johnny Knuckles is. And he's in for a world of hurt. Not get out of my face.

Cindy Shannon walks out of the locker room as the scene fades.

Harvey: 6 Man Tag Match coming up next!

[President Jeff]

We come back on the air with the camera on Johnny Chase and Darren Harvey

Harvey: At this time ladies and Gentlemen, we want to talk a little about Rasslemania.

Chase: Every year since 2009, APW has inducted some of the greatest wrestlers in the world into its Hall of Fame. In 2009, Matt Metal, Razor Ryan and Alternativ we’re all inducted

Harvey: And last year, Dr. Matt, BDC and Twister we’re all inducted as well.

Chase: And this year, more Mega Stars will be inducted. So at this time, Lets welcome, the newest member of the APW Hall of Fame

[dm]xgze51_apw-2011-hof-1st-induction_sport[/dm]

Chase: A man who truly deserve it.

Harvey: Indeed. But now, its time for our main event to crown a new number one contender for the APW Heavyweight Title

Chase: The winner of this match will go on to Rasslemania VII to face off against Sally Talfourd.

“Raining Blood” By Slayer his the PA and President Jeff comes out for the 2nd time here tonight. He stands at the top of the stage with the microphone in hand.

Chase: What’s he doing out here, Level One has a match to win

Harvey: Quiet you!

Jeff: Before we get to our main event, I have a quick announcement that I’d like to make. This Sunday, on actionpackedwrestling.tk, we will feature IWC Asylum. I would like everyone to tune into this show as I will be there live for a very big announcement regarding Rasslemania VII. Trust me, this is something you don’t want to miss.

Thank you and enjoy the main event

Raining Blood plays as Jeff walks towards the back.

Harvey: What kind of announcement will Jeff have at IWC Asylum this Sunday?

Chase: And what does IWC have to do with Rasslemania!

The camera goes to the ring

Paige: The following contest is for the #1 Contendership of the APW Heavyweight Championship at RassleMania, and is your Overdrive Main Event!

The crane camera pulls a sweeping pan across the audience. The thousands of fans are on their feet, holding their signs. And then, a voice from the PA-

"You must die! I alone am best!"

And a mish-mash of boos and cheers fills the arena as Ryan Ruckus steps onto the ramp while Bloodhound Gang's “I Hope You Die” blares over the speakers. His head is bowed. His arms are outstretched with the first two fingers on each hand crossed. A cigarette dangles from his lips, pluming smoke above his head.

Paige: Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 215 pounds, from Hollywood, California, he is the winner of the 2011 Survive and Conquer Match, Ryan Ruckus!

Harvey: Ruckus comes into this evening's match with all the momentum in the world, having just won the Survive and Conquer Match less than two weeks ago!

Chase: He left Las Vegas $500,000 richer, and looks to get a title shot tonight! If he can defeat Level-One here, he'll be on top of the world!

Then, as the final drum trills sound, Ruckus drops the smoke on the entrance ramp, stamps it out with his foot, and saunters toward the ring. Where he pops a squat on the top turnbuckle, and waits for Level-One to enter.

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 his opponent, weighing in at 273 pounds, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Level-One!

Harvey: Level-One is a former three-time APW Heavyweight Champion, and you know he wants nothing more than to become a four-time champ! He's going to have to go through his Free Agency running buddy to do it, though!

Chase: Do you really think that either Level-One or Ryan Ruckus give a darn that they're running buddies? This is about a shot at the APW Heavyweight Championship at RassleMania! They'd kill their own mothers to be in the main event at RassleMania!

Harvey: I actually wouldn't put it past them...

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 once more. Level-One hops down, and awaits for the fight in-front of him. The ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

#1 Contender's Match for the APW Heavyweight Championship
Ryan Ruckus vs. Level-One

[/u]

Right as the bell rings, the two men meet in the middle of the ring, trading punches fast and furious as they go back and forth, with neither man getting a clear advantage! Level-One winds up for a devastating punch that Ruckus just barely dodges, allowing Ruckus to get right behind Level-One and give him a Ruckus Leg Sweep! With Level-One down, Ruckus quickly goes for a Standing Moonsault, but Level-One rolls out of the way, and up to his feet! As Ruckus begins to push himself back up to all fours, Level-One rushes in and gives R2 a hard boot to the side of the face, knocking him back down! Level-One then yanks Ruckus right back up, pounding his fists into him as he back him into the corner! There, Level-One keeps unloading with a series of punches to the body and face, trying to beat the living daylights out of Ruckus! After a little bit, Level-One grabs a hold of Ruckus' arm and yanks him out of the corner, turning him inside out with a Flipping Clothesline! Level-One goes for an early cover, but doesn't even get a one count! Level-One is undettered, though, and pulls Ruckus back up, shooting him towards the ropes! Ruckus ducks the Big Boot on the rebound, and springs off the ropes for the Recap Lionsault, taking Level-One down to the mat! He has Level-One's shoulders pinned, but he doesn't get a one count either! Ruckus gets right up to his feet, and begins to stomp the tar out of Level-One, throwing in some nasty kicks for good measure!

Harvey: Well there certainly doesn't seem to be any love-loss between these two, despite their recent alliance!

Chase: Well both men are trying to make it to the main event of RassleMania! Whatever alliance they had is meaningless compared to that!

After a few kicks/stomps, Ruckus reaches down to pull Level-One up, but the former champ shows his craftiness, pulling Ruckus in for a Small Package, 1

Ruckus squirms out! Both men are to their feet in a flash, and Level-One gives Ruckus a hard Knee to the Gut before going to whip him towards the ropes! Ruckus cartwheels out of the whip, and as he lands on his feet, Level-One rushes in, to which Ruckus responds by jumping up and sticking both his knees out, drilling them into Level-One's face!

Chase: We're seeing a lot of pinfall attempts early in this match!

Harvey: Both of these men realize how well conditioned their opponent is, and are trying everything in their power to force each other to expend as much energy as possible early on!

Ruckus gets to his feet, and argues with the ref just for the fun of it. As Level-One makes his way back up to his feet, Ruckus gives him the Eye Poke, Stooges style, drawing an admonishment from the ref! Ruckus shrugs it off, and pulling Level-One in and giving him a DDT! As Level-One is down, Ruckus runs to the ropes and leaps off, hitting with another Recap, and hooks both legs, 1

Level-One kicks out once more! Ruckus shows no signs of frustration, obviously aware that it's going to take more to keep Level-One down. As Level-One gets back to his feet, Ruckus runs in and nails the Rucker Dropper! He then hooks his arm and leg into Level-One's arms and pulls him over into a pinning predicament, 1

Level-One kicks out!

Harvey: These pinning attempts are coming fast and furious!

Chase: Like I said before, both of these guys want to wear the other guy out as quickly as possible! The best way to do that is to keep forcing them to kick out again and again! Plus, they may just get lucky!

Ruckus calmly gets back to his feet and takes a few steps back, motioning for Level-One to get back up. As L-1 does so, Ruckus runs in, and goes for a Hurricarana, but Level-One counters with a hard Powerbomb that drills Ruckus' head and back into the mat! Ruckus winces in pain as Level-One pulls him up and drags him in for a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Level-One then pulls Ruckus back up and gets behind him, delivering a German Suplex! Finally, Level-One jerks Ruckus back up once more, whipping him towards the ropes, and connecting with a ring shaking Spinebuster!

Harvey: He just put his spine to the pine!

Chase: If Level-One can keep stringing together power moves like this, it's only a matter of time before Ruckus can't answer the three count!

Level-One covers Ruckus, 1

Ruckus kicks out! Level-One scowls at Ruckus, yelling at him, ”The longer this goes, the worse it gets for you! Stay down, f*****!” Ruckus cracks an unsettling grin, which prompts Level-One to mount him and begin wailing on him with a flurry of fists to the face! Ruckus desperately tries to get his arms up to defend himself, but Level-One is attacking like a man possessed! Level-One throws in some nasty elbow shots to the temple that appear to knock Ruckus for a loop! As Ruckus stops being able to defend himself, Level-One takes his arm and starts raking it across the bridge of Ryan Ruckus' nose a couple of times before giving Ruckus a couple of Hammerfists to the nose that draw blood! As his nose begins to bleed, Ruckus seems to snap back into reality, and reach up, poking Level-One in the eyes! Level-One puts his hands over his eyes, and as he does so, Ruckus shoves him backwards with all his might, sending Level-One rolling backwards! Level-One stops rolling near the ropes, and Ruckus is right on him, grabbing a hold of the top rope while he kicks Level-One in the chest as violently as possible! After about a dozen kicks, Ruckus gives Level-One an extremely hard kick that sends Level-One sliding beneath the ropes and to the arena floor!

Chase: Whoa momma! That kick echoed throughout the arena!

Harvey: You can bet that if this match goes outside the ring, the ref will have his work cut out for him getting these two back in!

As Level-One slowly begins to make his way back to his feet, Ruckus runs to the opposite ropes, and on the rebound, dives through the ropes, nailing Level-One with a Flying Spear! The ref restarts the 10 count as both men are on the floor! “1!”

“2!”

“3!”

Ruckus is beginning to stir, while Level-One holds his back in pain.

“4!”

Ruckus is up to one knee, and begins to pull Level-One up by the head.

“5!”

Ruckus bounces Level-One's head off the apron before taking him down with another Ruckus Leg Sweep! Ruckus then rolls in and out of the ring to restart the count!

“1!”

Ruckus pulls Level-One up and goes to bounce his head off the barricade, but Level-One puts his hands up, blocking it!

“2!”

Level-One then gives Ruckus a hard elbow to the chest, and rams Ruckus' head into the barricade instead! Level-One continues to bounce Ruckus' head off the barrier as the ref continues the count! Once the ref reaches “8!” Level-One lets Ruckus fall to the floor and rolls in and out of the ring to break the count again!

Chase: Why didn't Level-One just stay in the ring and draw the count out!? There's no way Ruckus was getting back in before 10!

Harvey: As big of a jerk as Level-One is, he's a competitor, and wants to beat Ryan Ruckus in the ring! It's like he has a sick urge to always prove his dominance!

Ruckus is using the barrier to pull himself up as Level-One approaches. Once Level-One reaches in to grab him, Ruckus reaches up and grabs Level-One's waistband, tugging on it to yank Level-One down face first into the barricade! The fans don't know whether to cheer or boo, so there's a mixed reaction to Ruckus' tactics. The ref is to the count of “4!” as Ryan heads over to the time keeper's table, shoving the time keeper off of his chair before grabbing it and folding it up, heading towards Level-One with the steel chair!

Chase: Don't do this Ruckus! You'll get yourself disqualified!

Harvey: These fans are in quite a ruckus, pardon the pun, as Ryan approaches Level-One!

The ref slides out of the ring, and steps between Ruckus and Level-One, yelling at Ruckus to put the chair down. As they're arguing, Level-One comes to his senses, and rushes towards Ruckus, going for a Big Boot! Ruckus ducks and shoves the ref towards Level-One, causing the ref to get a face full of boot! As the ref is down, Ruckus blasts Level-One with the steel chair right across the forehead! Level-One is wobbly, but doesn't go down after the shot, prompting Ruckus to nail him once more right on the noggin, this time, knocking Level-One down and drawing blood! As Level-One is down, Ruckus sets the dented chair up. He then reaches down and grabs Level-One by the head, bringing him to his feet before dragging him towards the chair and DDTing him right through it! The chair bends down as Level-One's head makes impact, rendering it unusable! Ruckus picks it up and tries to fold it up, but it's so mangled by this point that he can't! Ruckus shrugs his shoulders, and instead pulls Level-One up, pulling him to the corner near the announce table, and whips Level-One towards the turnbuckle post! Level-One reverses the whip, sending Ruckus crashing face first into the unforgiving steel post! As Ruckus is propped up there, Level-One grabs a hold of his head, and begins ramming it into the post again and again with such force that Ruckus' forehead busts open!

Harvey: Ruckus is now bleeding from both his forehead and his nose! That'll make it hard to see and breath!

As Level-One is going to town on Ruckus, Ruckus kicks back up with his leg, nailing Level-One with a lowblow that sends him down to his knees, and then to a fetal position on the floor! Ruckus regains his breath a bit, and then looks to the bottom turnbuckle. He begins to untie the pad on the bottom turnbuckle, and then reaches over to pull Level-One back up. He goes to roll Level-One back into the ring, but L-1 shoves him off, causing him to crash chest first into the apron! As Ruckus holds his sternum in pain, Level-One turns him around and hoists him up for a Powerbomb, turning around while still suspending Ruckus in the air, and driving him right through the announce table!

Harvey: There goes our table!

Chase: Don't we normally get some kind of warning when they remove the monitors and such!? Level-One didn't even give us that courtesy!

Harvey: I think it was more so because he didn't want to give Ruckus that courtesy!

Ruckus is out of his as Level-One pulls him back up and rolls him forcibly into the ring. Level-One then yanks the ref up and rolls him into the ring. Level-One slides in himself, and slaps the ref a bit to revive him. Level-One then covers Ruckus, and the ref counts slowly, 1

Ruckus kicks out! Level-One has the familiar scowl across his face as he pulls Ruckus back up and whips him into the corner where Ruckus removed the bottom turnbuckle pad. As Ruckus is in the corner, Level-One rushes in, but Ruckus sidesteps and gives Level-One a Drop Toe Hold into the exposed turnbuckle! Level-One's head snaps back sickeningly, and Ruckus is quick to capitalize, dragging Level-One away from the ropes before going for a pin, 1

Level-One kicks out!

Harvey: Ruckus almost had him there!

Chase: Ruckus is always thinking ahead! He knew at some point during the match, he may have the opportunity to give Level-One that move into that specific turnbuckle! Good planning by Ruckus!

The confidence on Ruckus' face is evident as he gets back up to his feet, and motions for Level-One to do the same. As Level-One slowly begins to get up, Ruckus shoots in and gives Level-One a Spinning Neckbreaker/Cutter hybrid!

Chase: The Cluster-Ruck! The Cluster-Ruck! Ruckus told me earlier today that he was working on a new finisher, and I think that was it! He's going to RassleMania!

Ruckus goes for the cover on Level-One, 1

Harvey: Oh my gosh! Level-One kicked out!

Chase: He had to! The winner of this match headlines RassleMania!

Ruckus can't believe it, and holds up three fingers towards the ref, pleading with the man in charge that he had Level-One beat! As the ref shakes his head no, Ruckus gets up and gets in the ref's face, giving Level-One the time he needs to get to his feet. Ruckus is arguing with the ref with such intensity that he backs the ref into the corner, screaming at him. Level-One walks up behind Ruckus and taps him on the shoulder. As Ruckus turns around, Level-One gives him a hard kick to the gut, and follows up with the Level-Advance! He goes to cover Ruckus, 1

Ruckus digs down deep and kicks out!

Chase: You've got to be kidding me!

Harvey: Both of these men desperately want to be in the main event at RassleMania! Both of these men desperately want a shot at the APW Heavyweight Championship!

By this point, Level-One is pissed, and he violently pulls Ruckus back to his feet, flipping him the bird before hoisting him onto his shoulders for a Darkness Shine! On the way over, Ruckus counters into a DDT, drilling Level-One's head into the mat! Ruckus then takes the opportunity to wrap Level-One's ankle around his foot, and bridges his back before trapping Level-One's arm and head between R2's arms, locking in the Plot Device!

Harvey: Ruckus is going to try and win this one by submission!

Chase: Have we ever seen Level-One tap out!? I don't think we have!

The fans are in a fever pitch as Ruckus has the move in deep! Level-One is struggling to try and reach for the ropes, but they are just out of reach! Level-One uses his free arm to try and drag him and Ruckus over, but it's slow going, and Ruckus just pulls back harder, increasing the pain! Level-One screams out as he makes a lunge for the ropes, and his fingertips touch, but he can't get a hold of it! Ruckus is looking extremely confident, and increases the pressure of the hold, but Level-One drags them closer to the ropes and gets a hold of the bottom rope! The ref begins the mandatory five count, and Ruckus lets go on “4!” The fans boo as Ruckus gets back to his feet, and gives Level-One a few hard stomps before the ref steps in and tries to push Ruckus back. Level-One is in a seated position as he tries to pull himself back up to his feet, while the ref tries to make some separation between the two men. Ruckus has had enough, and just flings the ref behind him! As the ref's back is turned, Ruckus rushes in towards Level-One, but Level-One responds by giving Ruckus a crushing punch to the family jewels!

Harvey: Ruckus made a huge mistake there by shoving the ref, allowing Level-One the opportunity to crush his spirits, if you will...

Chase: There's no need to be delicate about it, Harvey, Level-One just straight up punched Ryan Ruckus in the nuts!

The ref turns around to see Level-One get to his feet, pull Ruckus in and deliver a Level-Advance! Rather than going for the cover, Level-One drags Ruckus out to the middle of the ring, and applies the House of Pain! Ruckus holds on valiantly, but there's nowhere to go, as Level-One has the move on tight!

Harvey: Can Ruckus hold on!?

Chase: I don't know! This move not only stretches the legs and back, but also the groin, which has to be a real tender area for Ruckus right now!

Ruckus is struggling with all his might, while Level-One is yelling at him to just quit! ”Give it up, you s***! You can't get out! Ruckus responds with a defiant, ”F*** YOU!” which only prompts Level-One to pull back harder! Ruckus is still trying to get out, but has been in the hold for more than a minute at this point!

Harvey: How the hell is Ryan Ruckus holding on like this!?

Chase: I'm surprised all the blood hasn't rushed to his head yet!

Ruckus continues to struggle, but appears to be fading. After about a minute more, he looks to be out cold, and the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Winner: Level-One[/center]

Paige: Here is your winner, by knockout, and the new #1 Contender for the APW Heavyweight Championship of the World, Level-One!

Harvey: What a brutal, physical match to determine our #1 Contender. Both men gave it their all, but in the end, Level-One emerges victorious!

Chase: Could you imagine a RassleMania main event without Level-One? He's headlined the last two, and is going on to main event his third straight! Still, it's a shame that it ended this way for Ryan Ruckus.

Harvey: Ruckus never gave up, but his body gave up on him!

“Put You On Game” blares over the speakers while Level-One keeps the hold on! The ref continues to call for the bell, and more refs run down the ramp and slide into the ring to try and pull Level-One off of the passed out Ruckus. Level-One has the hold on tight, and doesn't look to be letting go for nobody! The refs continue to try and pull Level-One off to no avail!

Harvey: If this is how Level-One treats his friends, I'd hate to see how he treats his enemies!

As Level-One continues to apply the House of Pain, “Starrstrukk” hits the speakers and the fans explode as Sally Talfourd enters the arena! Level-One immediately releases the hold, and stands to his feet, staring a hole into Sally as she heads down the ramp towards the ring! The ref quickly help Ruckus from the ring as Sally reaches the steps, walks up and steps in, going right up to Level-One and getting in his face. As she looks up to the taller competitor, she raises her APW Championship Belt high in the air.

Harvey: The tension in the arena is palpable as Sally Talfourd and Level-One stand off against one another!

Chase: This is our RassleMania Main Event right here!

Harvey: Well folks, that's all the time we have for this week's Overdrive! Be sure to tune in next week as we continue on the road to RassleMania!

Level-One and Sally Talfourd are exchanging words, but not loud enough to where they're picked up by the camera. APW Overdrive fades to black.
