Winner: Mr. Dangerous

Pyro shoots from the stage and the camera pans though the arena before stopping on Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase

Harvey: WELCOME EVERYONE TO THURSDAY NIGHT OVERDRIVE!

Chase: What a show we have in store tonight. We have the official contract signing between Level One and Sally Talfourd

Harvey: Also Biggs will defending his Overdrive title against a mystery opponent

Chase: And our main event, where the winner gets a shot at the Overdrive Title next week. It will be AJ King, Ryan Ruckus, Criss Cassidy and Terry Marvin battling it out

Just then, Raining Blood by Slayer hit’s the PA and the fans cheer in excitement as the Owner and President of APW, Hurricane Jeff walks out to the stage with a microphone in hand.

Harvey: And here comes the boss.

Chase: Way to hog up the air time boss. Save it for the talent you bum!

His music cuts off and he lifts the mic to his lips.

Jeff: I’m not gonna waste too much time as we have a big show planned here tonight. Now this past Sunday, if you all did what I asked you to do, you would have checked out IWC for my big announcement. If you missed it, let me fill you in. I went to IWC this past Sunday and challenge IWC to a match at Rasslemania. I challenged them to a 4 on 4 WAR GAMES MATCH!

The fans cheer

Jeff: Now, over the next couple weeks leading to Rasslemania, I will be keeping a close eye on everyone as I forum my team. So a message to everyone in the back, if you want to be on team APW, show me and make an impact. So I’m going to go in my office and keep a close eye on everyone. Enjoy the show everyone!

Raining Blood plays again and Jeff heads backstage.

Harvey: It was 2 years ago the last time APW had a War Games match

Chase: And what a match that was. One of my personal favorite APW matches.

The lights begin to dim down as the packed APW crowd begins to stir with excitement. Several moments later a band of drummers walk out from backstage and form two lines all the way down the ring ramp, as they begin to preform the drumline to Lupe Fiasco ''Put you on game''; as Level-One steps out from behind the curtain he surveys the full capacity crowd with a cocky grin.

Harvey: What the hell is this!? A marching band!?

Chase: Word is, Level-One had a secret bet with Ryan Ruckus. I'm sure Level-One used some Ryan Ruckus's survive and conquer money to purchase this brilliant entrance!

Harvey: That is entirely speculation, Chase!

As Level-One stands on the base of the ramp, confetti begins to fall from the top of the buildings roof on down as a large banner unfolds over the APW-tron with Level-One face's on it with the words ''Rasslemania VII'' underneath. With a subtitle reading, ''...and he does it again!''; Level-One takes a step forward but is immediately rushed by a stage hand pushing him back a few steps as others quickly hurry to get a red carpet fitted for the ramp. The carpet is promptly rolled out for him as he slowly begins to strut his way down ramp, as he applauds the beautiful music in his honour.

Harvey: This is absolutely disgusting!

Level-One enters the ring, VIA the stairs as another stage hand wielding a microphone passes it to him bowing before doing so. Level-One quickly shrugs him off with the motion of his hand as he takes centre stage in front of a crowd booing their lungs, out. He waits for them to quiet down but when they refuse to do so, he speaks anyways...

Level-One: Tonight is a very special occasion because....

The boos are too loud. The crowd can't even hear him. He shrugs his shoulders as he calls for a microphone which he promptly receives. Beaming with confidence, he tilts his head back casually and lifts both microphones to his mouth.

Level-One: And to think I didn't even have to tell you all to shut up...

The crowd begins a chant APW overdrive is forced to edit on the fly, clearly he isn't popular around these parts.

Level-One: As I was saying, tonight is a very special occasion because last week I defeated Ryan Ruckus to become the number one contender to APW world championship! And despite protest from all you people the match will stand. Despite all your online petitions, bitching, whining and useless opinions Ryan Ruckus will NOT be a third wheel to me and Sally Talfourds match at Rasslemania! I know what you Sally Talfourd and Ryan Ruckus fans were up too... hoping one of them is able to pin the other to keep that world title out of my grasp at Rasslemania, huh!? Well, too bad because it isn't going to happen!

The crowd chants ''triple threat'' but Level-One merely laughs it up and rolls his neck back as if he had a kink in his shoulders.

Level-One: Speaking of Sally Talfourds fans... do we have any out here tonight!?

The crowd boos; Level-One having read some of the dirt sheets online. Level-One smiles as he strokes his chin.

Level-One: Apparently, the jury has reached it's decision. We don't have any! Though that's okay, because at Rasslemania when I main-event for the third year in a row, you people will have someone to cheer. You people will have fallen in love with me whether your morons like it or not! In fact, with the celebration the APW has put on for me tonight—I can't help but think you're starting to warm up to me already!

The crowd boos but the PA system kicks in with automated cheers and roar of support. This has several fans visibly distraught red-faced and all on camera as they scream from the top of their lungs, just trying to be heard but the volume is only kicked up higher.

Level-One: Now let me here some more boos for Sally Talfourd?

The PA system cuts out and the fans can once again be heard, booing at the top of their lungs. Level-One steps back with caution as if he never expected such a response for someone, so beloved.

Level-One: Come on, guys! Sure, she failed to win survive and conquer—but if you don't all forgive her now how do you expect to forgive her when she looses at Rasslemania too!? Face it, after last week there's no doubt that if anyone is going to beat Sally Talfourd, it's me. Not CJ gates. Not Terry Marvin and definitely not, Ryan Ruckus! I am the man to save the APW from the wicked wrath of Sally Talfourd. I am the man you need to count on to save Rasselamania! I am the man, you should all be cheering and believing me from here on out!

Suddenly, Level-One looks out the ring to see Chase the announcer standing up clapping his hands. Johnny Chase tries to get the crowd into but to no avail so he does what any professional would do, jump on the announce table in support of colleague.

Harvey: What the hell are you doing, Chase!? Get down from there before you hurt yourself!

Chase jumps off the announce table and runs into the ring, as Chase pleads for the microphone. Level-One shrugs and hands it over.

Chase: I know you think you have no fans Level-One... but I am. Which makes me your biggest fan of all. I never told anyone this but I shed a tear last week when you won because there is nothing better then calling a Level-One match and with all due respect to everyone on this roster, the facts are the facts and I just wanted to let you know that someone around here appreciates you for all you've done!

The crowd boos Johnny Chase as Level-One takes a few steps back, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye. He looks up at the crowd and points at Johnny Chase.

Level-One: Do you see this Sally Talfourd!? Even an announcer loves me! Sally, I may not be as loved as you were by these people but can't you feel the momentum building? It's only a matter of time before become APW's beloved next to CJ Gates to not being loved dare I say it... at all. Nobody likes you, Sally. We can't stand you. And as talented as you maybe, I should have NEVER allowed you to beat me for my APW championship and become as big as a star as you have....

Level-One turns to Johnny Chase.

Level-One: Chase, tonight I am hereby granting you head of my ''The world LOVES Level-One campaign'' that is, if you're up to the challenge?

Chase shakes his head up and down as quick as he can as Level-One extends a hand, Chase shakes it with both of his.

Level-One: Well there you have it. Tonight, the campaign officially begins as Johnny Chase will be donating the entirety of his purse for tonight's show to charity!

Johnny Chase begins to protest this as Level-One shoves him out of camera view.

Level-One: Sally, I want you to ask yourself!? When was the last time YOU had a marching band and confetti or even donated to charity!? At Rasslemania, I am going to expose you for the bitch you REALLY are!

...and I'll take your title, too.

Harvey: I can't believe Chase just became the leader of Level-One's new fan club campeign!

Chase rejoins the announce table as he slips on his headset.

Chase: I can't believe I just became the leader of Level-One's new fan club campeign!

Harvey: You disgust me, Chase!

Chase: I just donated my purse to charity, and you call me disgusting!? Your hate from Level-One disgusts me! There is no room for bias in announcing, especially when talking about one of the greatest preformers of our generation!

Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Paige: The opening contest a tag team match scheduled for one fall

The guitars begin to sound as "Halo" by Machine Head plays over the arena. The lights dim and the entrance stage fills with smoke as dark red and white strobe lights flicker over the arena. The drums in the intro begin to beat heavily as it echoes over the arena. A bright white light shines from the entrance way as the silhouette of a man stands there.

Klappton steps over the top rope and enters the ring. Upon entering the ring he stops looks to the ceiling and begins cackling sadistically.

Out from backstage runs The Fire Dragon as "Thunder Struck" by AC/DC kicks in. The Fire Dragon makes his way to the ring, tearing up a few fans signs along the way down the ramp.

Paige: And his partner, Weighing in at 190 pounds. FIRE DRAGON!

Winner: Fire Dragon & Captain Klappton

They celebrate their victory as we go backstage.

"Supersonic" Branden Harvey is in his locker room by himself. Suddenly, C.J. Gates walks in.

Branden: Do you need something, C.J.?

Gates: I'm just here to make sure you don't interfere in my match tonight. I know what Knuckles has done to you. But I will have no problem winning this match on my own.

Branden: C.J., you and Blade have done a lot for me. So, as your friend, I'll sit there and commentate like a good little commentator. That's during the match. After the match, however, all bets are off.

Gates: I don't care what you do after the match. I just came here to make sure you don't do anything during the match.

Branden: Okay. I won't. Are we done?

Gates: Yes. I believe we are.

Branden: Then, with all due respect, please get out of here. I need to think.

Gates leaves the locker room as the scene fades.

[President Jeff]

The camera comes on backstage as Johnny Knuckles and now IWC Member, Jason Kash are sitting inside the locker room. Kash is smoking a blunt as Knuckles is sitting there in his gear, ready for his match. Nate Bishop is reading a magazine over on a nearby bench. Kash is glancing around the locker room and then casually looks over at Knuckles.

Jason Kash: I spy something...Pink..

Johnny Knuckles: Pink? Okay..umm...let's see. Pink oh Pink, where can you be? The color on Bishop's shirt?

Jason Kash: Nope.

Johnny Knuckles: Bishop's duffle bag?

Looking over towards Bishop is a duffle bag sitting under the bench he is on. He pulls down the magazine and looks over at Kash and Knuckles as if being disturbed. Kash blows out a thick cloud of smoke, hoping it gets both of them a contact high. Bishop moved away when Kash sparked up but Kash likes being an annoyance so he has been blowing all the clouds over in his direction.

Jason Kash: Nope. That's red dipshit, you need to get your eyes checked man. Nate, you playin?

Nate Bishop: I'm not playing a game I never played WHEN I was 5 years old...It's a waste of time.

Johnny Knuckles: He doesn't like the thinking games does he? Haha!

Jason Kash: Nah, Bishop is a great thinker. He's just green like new born buds. He still has shit to learn before the future becomes the present.

Nate Bishop: What? The Future is Now, just watch...Rico is gonna be a former Champion in no time!

Jason Kash: That's what I'm talking about Nate! Now Knuckles, back to this pink?

You can see that Knuckles was putting some extra thought into scanning the room. There isn't alot, if any pink at all that he can actually notice. Not the kind of color that just catches your eye and he was looking hard. If he gave up, he knew the rules. He'd get shocked with the taser gun if he gave up, same rules applied to Kash but Kash had gotten his turn right on the second guess. Knuckles was having a harder time finding something pink. Finally he shakes off the jitters of quitting and looks at Kash as Kash puffs away another lung full of that green leaf.

Johnny Knuckles: Give me a hint at least, not any pink in this damn room!

Jason Kash: Give up?

Johnny Knuckles: Hell No, I don't want to be tased asshole!

Nate Bishop: It's your lips...

Johnny Knuckles: What?

Bishop moves the magazine one more time and puckers his own lips. The eyes and brain of Knuckles connect as he looks at the color of Nate Bishop's lip color. Kash had used the color because he seen Bishop biting on his bottom lip as he was reading. He also knew Knuckles would never even think about using as an answer.

Johnny Knuckles: Fucking Lips? Why would you be looking at our lips anyway?

Jason Kash: First...Fuck you and Second? You didn't answer it so you lose...

Kash jumps up and the taser gun comes out of hiding as Knuckles throws up his hands to prevent the tasing but Kash fakes going down towards the nuts and hurries to catch Knuckles right in the neck area. Knuckles flops around in the recliner he is sitting up in and falls to the floor. Kash cracks up laughing after he releases the button to stop the voltage. Bishop snickers but never fully laughs out loud, his magazine was some Pro Wrestling Magazine and he liked reading some "Brandi" chick's article.

Jason Kash: I love this thing man, tasing someone is just full of fun and laughter!! Get up Knuckles, your match is up soon....Lazy...laying around before a match, I'm telling Gallos!

Knuckles slowly pulls himself up, wiping the drool away from the corner of his mouth as the scene cuts back to ringside.


Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…

"Rise to it" by Kiss begins to play over the PA system; the crowd are starting to go a bit nuts as they know what is coming. The lights are beginning to flicker on and off as Blade bursts out from behind the curtains and onto the ramp.

Paige: Introducing first… representing the Exchange Rate… from Manchester, England… BLADE!!!

Steadily strutting towards the ring, Blade catches the attention of some girls in the crowd, he gives them a wink before hoisting himself upon to the ring. Shaking the referees hand his throws his arms up into he air taking a loud cheer with him as he does.

Paige: And his opponent…

The arena goes black. Video footage of a red sunset burning over the Arizona skyline appears on the screen. 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. While that happens, Dawn Michelle's voice can be heard singing.

#They'll return... but I'll be stronger.#

Paige: …Representing The Beautiful Disaster… from Tuscon, Arizona…

[The chorus of "Unbreakable" by Fireflight kicks in. Through the blinding red on the screen, what seems like gold cursive writing appears like a pen writing across the screen with:]

K A Y C E E T A N N E R

Gold and white lights flash along the stage and the rampway as Kaycee Young emerges from behind the curtain, her husband Brandon Young coming out behind her with that smug 'I've got this hot chick and you don't' smirk on his face. He allows his wife to have the spotlight as she stops at the top of the ramp, bending over before she straightens up, thrusting her fists into the sky. This triggers a burst of gold pyro in the shape of a star to explode in the air above her.

Paige: One half of the APW tag team champions… KAYCEE YOUNG!!!

Heading down the ramp, she slaps the hands of the fans before she speeds up and slides into the ring on her stomach. Kaycee mounts the nearest turnbuckle and plays up to the crowd, blowing her husband a kiss (which he catches, of course) before she hops down, the music fading out soon after.

Kaycee Young Vs Blade

The bell rings, and Blade heads center. His hand is extended, looking for a respectful shake.

Chase: Aw, that’s cute. Blade wants to hold hands.

Harvey: Obvious he’s just showing his respect for Kaycee’s talent.

Kaycee seems hesitant, but when Blade turns to the crowd and gets a supportive pop, the tag champ shakes his hand and begins to circle. She shoot’s Blade’s left leg, but he catches her and lifts her, flailing, into a powerbomb position-

-Only to receive a hurricanrana counter from Kaycee.

Blade flips onto the mat, stunned, and Kaycee follows up with a back-cartwheeling leg drop.

Harvey: Innovative offense early on, from the tag team champion.

Chase: Facilitated by Blade’s inability to execute a powerbomb.

Knowing she needs to keep the big man grounded, Kaycee heads to the mat and locks in a buffalo sleeper. Blade’s free arm stretches out, almost instinctually, reaching for the closest ropes. But he’s too far away. The ref asks him if he wants to quit. Blade barks no. Kaycee cinches in tighter. Finally, Blade begins kicking his foot on the mat, inspiring the fans to get a unified stomp going. And Blade rises to his feet, Kaycee on his back, and goes for a belly to back suplex.

-But Kaycee back flips out of the counter, lands on her feet, and dropkicks Blade in the back of the knee.

Blade staggers, as Kaycee takes off running across the ring. And by the time Blade gets back to a vertical base and turns around, here comes Kaycee off the ropes, with a springboard plancha and a pin attempt!

Kick out.
With authority. Kaycee flies halfway across the ring and lands on her back. But a second later, she kips up and comes on. Blade rises and catches her with a knee to the midsection, then grabs her arm and whips her into the corner. He follows up with a flurry of punches and whips Kaycee again, this time, all the way across the ring, into the diagonal turnbuckle. And he charges in-

-But nobodies home, as Kaycee darts out of the way at the last second.

Chase: Is it just me, or is Blade really off his game this match?

Harvey: Well, we saw last week that the former tag champ is on a mission to prove himself. Perhaps all that pressure is what’s leading to these mistakes.

Chase: Well, he better get his act together, or all he’s going to prove is that he’s a failure.

Blade recoils from the botched corner splash, and he stumbles toward the center of the ring, clutching at his neck. Kaycee in the meantime, has scrambled up to the top rope, where she stands, poised-

And leaps with a missile dropkick!

But Blade swats her away, and Kaycee crashes to the canvas. Lifting Kaycee up, Blade turns her sideways and drops her down across his knee, with a stiff backbreaker. He holds the move a moment, pushing down on her chin and legs, then he lifts her and drops her again, with a second backbreaker.

And here’s the lateral press-

kickout!

Harvey: That was close!

Chase: Naw, it’s still early. Say what you want about Kaycee Young, but she’s resilient. …And supple…

Harvey: Enough.

Blade lifts Kaycee off the mat and whips her into the ropes. She ducks a running clothesline from the big man, but on her rebound, he catches her with a facebuster knee smash. Her head hits his knee and she pops back up-

-Right into an abdominal stretch from Blade.

With his free hand, Blade tries to hype the crowd, but the reaction is split at best. While some fans are cheering for him, a good number are rooting for Kaycee’s escape.

Unfortunately, the rooting isn’t doing much to help the tag champ actually break the hold. And as Blade yanks back, Kaycee starts to give. Her body loosens and her head slumps to the side. From the looks off it, she’s out. Blade tells the ref to check her. And he does.

Her hand falls once…
.
.
.
.
Her hand falls twice…

Harvey: Are we seeing shades of last week’s main event?

Chase: Please… on the third time, she’s going to regain her strength and turn the tide of the match.

The ref checks Kaycee’s hand a third time. He raises it up. And it falls- the stops! And starts shaking. And the crowd roars as Kaycee builds her strength, breaks free and drops Blade with a side headlock takeover.

Chase: Told you…

Kaycee stays on her opponent, turning the takeover into a grounded side headlock. But Blade is worked up now, so it isn’t long until he gains his feet, dragging Kaycee with him and lifting her up-

Where she nails an elevated snapmare takeover, followed by a dropkick to the back of Blade’s head. Blade sways from his seated position, trying to knock the cobwebs loose as he slowly gets to his feet. But Kaycee is already on the top rope, and as Blade falters while getting to his feet, the tag champ drops him with a-

Harvey: Back to the Future from Kaycee Young! And she got ALL of that!!!

Chase: Hey, do you think since she’s the Angel of the Desert, she has a dry sense of humor?

Harvey: Ladies and gentlemen, forgive my broadcast partner. He’s in rare form tonight.

Chase: I’m in rare form every night, Harvey.

Kaycee looks like she’ll go for the pin, but thinks better of it, lifting Blade to his feet, for a swinging neckbreaker. As Blade hits the mat, Kaycee rebounds off the ropes and hits a baseball slide. Then she hops to her feet and nails a picture perfect standing moonsault. –Holding it for a pin attempt.

Thr- Blade gets a foot on the ropes.

And again a mixed reaction from the crowd. Half of them groan that Kaycee didn’t win it there. Half of them cheer because Blade kicked out.

It’s not hard to tell which side Kaycee is on, as she lifts Blade up again and motions for the Kaytastrophe!

Chase: Just a formality now. Go ahead and call it-

Harvey: No! Blade with a counter!!!

And counter it he does, sliding out from under Kaycee’s knee and ducking behind to apply a waistlock. Before drilling Kaycee with a release german suplex!

Rising, Blade makes his way to Kaycee, with a couple well placed boots. Then he peels her off the mat and whips her into the ropes, catching her with a spinebuster-

-Which Kaycee counters, into a rolling butterfly lock, using Blades momentum to roll him over and lock him up. And for the third time this match, Blade is stomping his foot on the canvas, whipping the fans supporting him into a frenzy. Then slowly… definitively… he rises to his feet, walks to the ropes, and dumps Kaycee over them and off of his back.

Harvey: A great counter by Blade!

Chase: Bite your tongue, Harvey. Look!

Instead of falling to the outside, Kaycee has ahold of the top rope. And as Blade turns his back and heads to the center of the ring, playing to the fans, Kaycee skins the cat and lands back in the ring. The crowd POPs huge, and Blade turns to see his latest mistake-
Just in time to catch a low dropkick from the tag champ!

Blade falls to one knee, and Kaycee rises to her feet, bouncing off the ropes and nailing the-

KAY-O!!!

Chase: Call the fat lady, this one’s over.

The Beautiful Disaster fans, lead by Brandon on the outside, rise to their feet with applause as Kaycee falls for the cover-

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Winner: Kaycee Young

“Un breakable” hits the PA system, as Kaycee rises to her feet and has her hand raised. Brandon meets her in the center of the ring, with her half of the tag straps.

Harvey: And an impressive singles victory for Kaycee Young here tonight!

Chase: Not nearly as impressive as Blade’s comedy of errors leading up to his lost.

Harvey: Yes, it seems the former tag champ will have to wait for another chance to prove himself.

And Kaycee and Brandon pose on the turnbuckles, much to the delight of the fans. As Blade sits in the corner, running his hands through his hair, looking frustrated.

[President Jeff]

The camera cuts to backstage interviewer Hannah Storm who looks very pleased as she smiles at the camera. There is obviously someone off to her left hand side.

Hannah: Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome at this time, my very special guest. She is the CWC Showcase Champion and the current World Heavyweight champion of another CWC company and apparently APW's newest JOINT acquisition ... "The Cult Classic" Rachel Cole!

The camera pans out to reveal Rachel Cole standing next to Hannah Storm wearing a white tank top and a pair of jeans. She has a black beanie on with marijuana leaf on it. On her shoulder is a championship title that is blurred out for legal reasons. Rachel stands looking very happy with herself.

Hannah: Rachel, what is the terms and conditions of this contract you have signed with APW?

Rachel Cole: As you can see, one of the terms is that I have to have my World title blurred out when I am on APW television which is understandable. I could just leave it at home in Seattle, but I think you all have to understand that I am proud of the accomplishments I have achieved in under two months. It is funny that it seems that I have come out of nowhere... because I did. So, to me, being able to at least carry this title proudly wherever I go means a lot. Of course, I would be able to bring my CWC Showcase title with me but the ninjas still have my DAMN title. But that is a whole other matter entirely. As far as other terms and conditions... there are none. I will be out here and ready to perform just like any other APW star. And after watching APW for years and hearing about how highly regarded the company was during my indy years... I am proud to be a part of this organization.

Hannah: The question must be asked... why do double duty in two feds?

Rachel Cole: If I have the opportunity why not? I think I owe it to myself to prove that I am one of the best competitors out there today. Because right now, I have everyone telling me I am one of the best today. I say "lets test that theory." I say "APW, give your best" because I want to believe the speculation. I want to believe that I am, bar none, one of the best in the business today.

Hannah: With that said, what are your goals here in APW?

Rachel Cole: I want to do something different... maybe go back to my indy roots. Why be here if I am going to be doing the same stuff I do in the other company I am in? And what I did alot of back in the day was compete in an Extreme enviroment. Maybe I should try my hand in APW's extreme division. My good buddy Matt Ward is the new Xtreme Champion, maybe I should see if he is any different here then he is elsewhere. And then there is the possibility of tagging up with someone here... I'm down for that. Either way, expect maybe a little more aggressive, maybe a little more rebelious Rachel Cole. I am not going to do things the same way I do things elsewhere.

Hannah: And finally, why APW?

Rachel Cole: APW has Rasslemania which is one of the biggest shows of the year. I would be stupid not to be a part of that, wouldn't I? You look at what companies have been around the block for quite a few years and it is pretty much APW that has made a legacy. Again, it would be dumb not to be a part of this legacy. And I plan to be a huge part of that legacy that APW has created.

Hannah: Miss Cole thank you for your time.

Cole nods and walks off.



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



“Spaceman,” by The Killers, hits the speakers as the arena lights fade to a dim blue. Laser lights shoot from the stage as strobe lights flash about the arena, and Biggs makes his entrance to a chorus of boos! He has his blue and white ring jacket on, complete with blue feathers on the shoulders, as well as his signature shades. The APW Overdrive Championship is clasped firmly around his waist.

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

Harvey: Here comes to Overdrive Champion, who's at a severe disadvantage tonight, defending the title against a mystery opponent!

Chase: This is a travesty! This is a farce! President Jeff wants to make sure that Biggs does not accomplish his goal of establishing himself as the absolute greatest Overdrive Champion in APW history!

Biggs has a dance in his step as he makes his way down the to the ring, mocking the fans as he goes along. As he reaches the ring, the Overdrive Champion walks up the steps, and slingshots himself into the ring over the top rope before walking to the middle of the ring. There, he unclasps the Overdrive Title Belt, and raises it high in the air with both arms before bringing it back down and slinging it over his shoulder. Biggs calls for a mic as the music fades and lights come back to normal. Biggs waits to speak until the crowd's boos die down a bit.

Biggs: If you people think for a moment that I am going to whine and complain about having a mystery opponent this week, well, then you're terribly mistaken. I know that's the reaction many of you were expecting me to have, and I'm sure that's the reaction President Jeff was hoping to get from me by putting me in a match like this. You see, last week, Jeff told me that he wouldn't give me to opportunity to prepare for this match in my normal manner, considering that I don't know who my opponent is. But what Jeff is forgetting is that my extensive pre-match preparations are only one reason why I'm the greatest Overdrive Champion in APW history! All the preparation in the world can't help you if you're unable to execute in the ring, and I don't know anyone better than me in that regard!

The crowd boos at this point as Biggs flashes his trademark smirk.

Harvey: That's debatable.

Biggs: You fans can boo all you want, you know that it's true. The fact is, it doesn't matter who President Jeff has picked to be my opponent this week, I know for a fact I will be able to successfully defend my title. I'm simply too gosh darn good to stumble over a little thing like a mystery opponent! As the greatest Overdrive Champion of all time, I need to be ready and willing to face all challengers, and tonight will be yet another display of my ability to not only wrestle at a higher level than anyone else in this business, but also to overcome any and all adversity that comes my way! And I can be confident of this because I'm quite simply out of this world!

Biggs pauses for dramatic effect, raising his title in the air with his free hand before pulling the mic up to his mouth once more.

Biggs: (calmly) So who's it going to be, Jeff? Who's the big, bad surprise that's going to try and take my title from me?

The crowd sits in a hushed silence, waiting for Biggs' opponent to be revealed. During the wait, a loud, “PENCE! PENCE!” chant gets started.

Harvey: It sounds like the fans hope it's Pence Weatherlight who gets a shot at Biggs' title tonight!

Chase: That wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, considering President Jeff's M.O.!

The crowd continues to chant Pence's name, while Biggs shakes his head in the ring. Finally, the opening chords of “Iron Man,” by Black Sabbath, hits the speakers, and the fans begin to boo at the top of their lungs! Slowly, Chris Cyrus emerges from behind the entrance curtain and stands at the top of the stage, looking out at the crowd.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing in at 240 pounds, from Las Vegas, Nevada, Chris Cyrus!

Harvey: Oh my gosh! Chris Cyrus is the secret challenger! If there's anybody who knows as much about Biggs as there is to know, it's this man! Cyrus and Biggs were tag team partners in the Axis of Awesome for some time!

Chase: Cyrus can't be here! He lost to Biggs in that steel cage match back in November where the loser leaves APW!

Harvey: It looks like President Jeff lifted the ban!

Chris begins making his way down to the ring, threatening to hit the fans then looks at the camera and says "get out of my way" as he walks up the ring steps and enters the ring. Chris walks over to the corner and climbs up the middle rope and the crowd boo's him. Chris gives them all an evil stare and jumps back down into the ring and grins as he sees Biggs standing across from him. Biggs is absolutely livid, and the ref wastes no time calling for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

APW Overdrive Championship Match
Biggs © vs. Chris Cyrus

[/u]

The two men stand face to face in the middle of the ring, trading a few words. Cyrus extends his hand out for a handshake.

Harvey: It looks like Cyrus wants to bury the hatchet with Biggs over their issues last fall.

Chase: That'll be quite the hatchet to bury, as Cyrus stole Biggs' fiance from him at One Night in Hell! Granted, Biggs did eventually end up marrying Ellie anyways, but still!

Biggs eyes Cyrus suspiciously, while Cyrus raises his other hand, showing that he means no harm. After a few moments, Biggs extends his hand, grabbing Cyrus' hand in a firm hand shake! No sooner than when the two of their hands clasp, Biggs and Cyrus immediately both go for kicks to the midsections on each other, with both men connecting!

Harvey: So much for making peace!

Both men recover at about the same time, and then meet right back in the middle of the ring, trading punches back and forth! As brawling is more Cyrus' strength, he gets the upper hand, connecting with a series of punches to the side of the head that gives him an opening to whip Biggs into the ropes. On the rebound, Cyrus clobbers Biggs with a Spinning Heel Kick, taking the champion down to the mat! Cyrus is quick to try and apply a Sharpshooter, but Biggs kicks him off before he can get a hold of both legs, and rolls backwards and up to his feet! Cyrus charges in with a Clothesline attempt, which Biggs ducks under, and responds with a Spinning Heel Kick of his own! With Cyrus down, Biggs gives him a few quick stomps before reaching down to pull Cyrus back up. On the way up, Cyrus gives Biggs a hard elbow to the gut, and uses the opening to apply the Headlock! Cyrus yells out into the crowd, “HEADLOCK!” drawing loud boos from the fans. Cyrus has the headlock on tight, and wrenches it a bit before Biggs shoves him off towards the ropes! On the rebound, Biggs connects with a Leg Lariat, and then runs to the ropes, nailing Cyrus as he gets up with a Running Flying Forearm! As Cyrus gets back up again, he's greeted with another Running Flying Forearm! In all, Biggs connects with four Flying Forearms before mounting Cyrus and attempting a Cross Armbar! It's too early in the match, and Cyrus manages to wriggle out, gets to his feet in a flash, and drops down for a quick Standing Elbow Drop! Biggs just barely rolls out of the way, and as both men get up, Biggs goes for a Backsweep Kick, which Cyrus jumps over! As he lands, Cyrus gives Biggs a hard Knee right to the temple, knocking him into the mat!

Harvey: Fast and furious action we're seeing from these two in the early going! They know each other so well, it's almost like they can guess what their opponent is going to do before he does it!

Chase: I think making Chris Cyrus the mystery opponent tonight may have been worse for Biggs than if Jeff had made it Pence!

As Biggs is a bit dazed, Cyrus reaches down and pulls him up, giving him a few punches to the face before pulling him in for a Snap Suplex! Cyrus drags his forearm across Biggs' face as he goes for the pin, 1

Biggs kicks out! This frustrates Cyrus, so he wraps both of his hands around Biggs' throat, choking him while the ref begins the five count! Cyrus lets go, and immediately goes for another cover, 1

Biggs gets the shoulder up!

Chase: Cyrus is going to have to do a lot more than that if he wants to leave here tonight with the Overdrive Championship!

As Cyrus begins to pull Biggs back up to his feet, the Champ gives his enemy a quick Rake Across the Eyes, drawing an admonishment from the referee as he does so! This gives Biggs the opening to whip Cyrus into the ropes and lift him up for a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, cracking Cyrus' back across his knee! Biggs then rolls Cyrus onto his belly, and applies the Camel Clutch, trying to wear down Cyrus early! While maintaining the Camel Clutch, Biggs throws in a couple of Crossface Forearms for good measure! As he lets go of the hold, Biggs gives Cyrus a couple of Forearm Shots to the back of the head before making his way out onto the apron! Biggs then grabs a hold of the top rope and pulls off a Slingshot Flipping Leg Drop to the back of Cyrus' head! “The Spaceman” then rolls Cyrus onto his back, and hooks both legs, 1

Cyrus kicks out! Biggs stays focused, applying a Side Headlock on the mat to keep Cyrus grounded.

Harvey: As much as I hate to admit it, this is very smart wrestling from the champion here, keeping Cyrus down while he gets a chance to regain his breath and plot where he wants to go from here!

Chase: Well, Biggs' intelligence is one of the main reasons he's Overdrive Champion!

Biggs rides the headlock for a little bit longer before beginning to make his way to his feet with the hold still applied. On the way up, Cyrus begins to fight his way out, giving Biggs repeated elbows to the midsection before breaking free and quickly hooking Biggs in a Urinagi position! Before Cyrus can deliver the Straight to Hell, Biggs elbows his way out of the predicament, and begins to run towards the ropes, by Cyrus gets a handful of hair, pulling on it and causing Biggs to fall back first into the mat! The ref yells at Cyrus, while Cyrus gives an “I don't give a care” kind of grin. Cyrus then begins to stomp Biggs at a very deliberate pace, making Biggs think about each stomp that's about to come! After about a half-a-dozen stomps, Cyrus pulls Biggs back up and goes to whip him into the ropes! Biggs reverses the whip, sending Cyrus into the ropes instead, but on the rebound, Cyrus drills Biggs with a Spear from out of nowhere!

Harvey: What an explosive Spear! We could have a new champion!

Chase: NONONONONONONONONO!

Cyrus has both legs hooked, 1

Biggs' shoulder is up in the nick of time!

Harvey: Biggs' title could be in serious trouble here if Cyrus keeps this up!

Chase: Come on, Biggs! Hold on!

Cyrus knows that he has the advantage, and gets back up to his feet, motioning for Biggs to as well. The challenger stalks the champion as Biggs feebly crawls towards the ropes, and begins to pull himself up. As he does so, Cyrus charges in, but as he gets near, Biggs reaches up and grabs the waist band of Cyrus' tights, pulling Cyrus right down throat first into the middle rope! The crowd boos the cheap tactic as the ref warns Biggs.

Harvey: There's more cheating going on in this match than an episode of Jerry Springer!

Chase: At least there aren't any goats involved!

As Cyrus holds his throat in pain on the mat, Biggs rolls him onto his belly and gets his arms in a Double Underhook before delivering a series of Ultimate Knee Strikes to the crown of Cyrus' head! After a few shots, Biggs rolls Cyrus onto his back, and places all of his weight across Cyrus' chest, 1

Kick out from the challenger! Biggs is starting to show some signs of frustration, but stays on focus, pulling Cyrus up with him to his feet and dragging him into the corner, where he bounces Cyrus' head off the turnbuckle a couple of times before sitting the challenger up on the top turnbuckle facing out towards the crowd! Biggs then steps out onto the apron and climbs up the ropes. Biggs rams Cyrus' head into the top of the ring post before pulling off a Sunset Flip Powerbomb from the top rope! Biggs has Cyrus folded up like an accordion as he pins him, 1

Cyrus barely kicks out!

Chase: It looks like Biggs was going for a home run shot there!

Harvey: Cyrus showed his resiliency there!

Biggs smells blood in the water, and pulls Cyrus up, giving him a couple of knees to the midsection before grabbing a hold of his head and running up the ropes to deliver the Bigg Time! He then makes his way up to the top rope, and leaps off, nailing Cyrus with the UFO Frog Splash!

Chase: This one is over!

The ref begins the count as Biggs covers Cyrus, 1

Cyrus gets the shoulder up!

Harvey: Can you believe it!? Cyrus just kicked out of the UFO Frog Splash!

Chase: It's a testament not only to how important the Overdrive Championship is, but also how much Chris Cyrus wants to defeat Biggs!

Biggs is pissed off at this point, getting in the ref's face and yelling at him a bit before turning his attention back to Cyrus. As the IWC Misfit begins to make his way up to his feet, Biggs gets behind him and tries to get him in position for Crashing Down to Earth, but Cyrus wriggles out and in a flash, clutches Biggs in the Urinagi position before drilling him into the mat with the Straight to Hell!

Harvey: We're going to have a new champion here!

Biggs kicks out! Cyrus can't believe it, holding up three fingers as he pleads with the ref. As the ref argues that it was only a two count, Cyrus leaves only the middle finger up, flipping off the ref! The fans boo this show of poor sportsmanship, while Cyrus begins to pull Biggs back to his feet. Cyrus clobbers Biggs with a few forearm shots to the face before hooking him up in position to go for the Straight to Hell once more! Biggs elbows his way out, and whips Cyrus towards the ropes. Biggs runs to the opposite ropes himself, and both men meet in the middle of the ring, crashing in midair, as both go for Crossbodies! They both fall to the mat, and each of them has an arm draped over the other's chest as the ref makes the count, 1

3! DING! DING! DING![/center]

Harvey: Who won the match? Who's the Overdrive Champion?!

The ref steps out of the ring and walks over to Nicki Paige, explaining his decision before she announces it.

Paige: Due to the fact that both men were pinned when the ref counted to 3, this match has ended in a draw! Therefore, still Overdrive Champion, Biggs!

The fans boo at the top of their lungs, and begin chanting something that rhymes with “Bull Spit.” Biggs feebly rolls out of the ring, and clutches his title belt, making his way up the ramp as Cyrus sits up in the ring, smashing his fists into the mat in frustration!

Harvey: I gotta believe that the Overdrive Champion dodged a real big bullet here tonight!

Chase: Biggs may not have won the match, but then again, neither did Chris Cyrus!

Harvey: Still, you hate to see matches end this way, especially title matches!

Biggs looks back to the ring with a look of relief, while Cyrus is still fuming in the ring. APW Overdrive goes to a commercial break.

[President Jeff]

[We return to Overdrive from commercial and send it to the announcers.]

Harvey: Well, up next we have-

"Look Alive, Sunshine"

[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...



Harvey: The APW Tag Team Champions out here in force tonight!

Chase: I wonder what's going on here, they aren't scheduled for a Tag Match tonight.

Harvey: Indeed, they're both in singles matches tonight, but it doesn't look like they're here to fight, yet. They've both got mics.

Brandon: What's up, San Jose?!

[CHEAAAAP POP! Brandon grins.]

Brandon: I know we've both singles matches this week, but Kayc and I wanted to come out here and address a little something something. But before we do that... I wanna say this to their faces, so CJ, Blade, I know you guys are back there! Would you do us the honor of joining us in the ring at this time?

Harvey: Brandon Young calling out the Exchange Rate!

Chase: I like where this is going!

["Rise To It" by Kiss begins to play as the fans begin to cheer in anticipation. After a few moments both Blade and C.J. Gates come out from the back wearing "Exchange Rate" T-shirts. They pause for a moment at the top of the ramp and look at one another before making their way down to the ring, tagging hands with fans along the ramp. They then climb into the ring and grab microphones.]

C.J. Gates: First off, we want to start by officially congratulating the two of you on winning the titles. It might be overdue, but this is the first chance we've had to say it to you, face to face.

[Brandon and Kaycee thank the Exchange Rate.]

C.J. Gates: But you called us out here, so I'm sure whatever it is that you two have to say is important.

Blade: But if this is where you rub the victory in our faces and hammer home the fact that we got knocked down the totem pole, we don't need to hear it.

C.J. Gates: It's bad enough having to watch as the first title shot goes to the Red Shield Mafia. A team that hasn't done anything to deserve it...

[Gates shakes his head.]

Blade: But we hope that the two of you are better than that.

C.J. Gates: We know you are. After all there is a reason the belts are around your waists and not ours. And I'm sure that there is a good reason the two of you called us out.

Blade: But if it isn't good, then I can't say we're going to be happy standing on this side and just taking it.

Brandon: Hold on guys, this is a good thing, I promise. See, we've heard all week about how the Red Shirt Mafia didn't deserve it last week, how you guys shoulda gotten the first shot at these...

[Brandon proudly pats the APW Tag Team Title around his waist.]

Brandon: And the truth is...

Kaycee: The truth is we feel the same way.

Brandon: We sure do. But the more we thought about it, the more me and Kayc realized, if we were gonna take you two on again... We wanted it to be as special as the first time. Because let's face it guys, you guys and us? We ARE this division.

Kaycee: So it only fits that if we're gonna go again, we do it right.

Brandon: Right. And what we mean by that is... I'm thinkin, you guys want your rematch? It's yours. But let's not waste it on some random episode of Overdrive! Let's do it big, lets do it LARGE!

...Lets do it at RASSLEMANIA~!

[Gates and Blade nod their heads with slight smiles on their faces as the crowd cheers the thought of another match between the two teams.]

C.J. Gates: You know, you two are right. We are this division. Blade and I kept it alive and now we finally have a team that is as competitive and driven as we are.

Blade: And since we put on such a great match at Survive and Conquer, a rematch at Rasslemania WOULD be that much better and that much more important.

C.J. Gates: So what that means...

[Gates and Blade both pause as the fans cheer.]

C.J. Gates: ...Is that we accept your challenge. The Exchange Rate would like nothing more than to regain our titles at Rasslemania.

[The fans cheer louder as the match is accepted.]

Harvey: Wow! Beautiful Disaster and Exchange Rate round two, and this time it's gonna be at Rasslemania!

Chase: Awesome!

[As the Exchange Rate turn to leave the ring, having accepted the match, a lightbulb goes off in Brandon's head and he calls out to them.]

Brandon: Hey hang on guys, I forgot to mention one thing.

[CJ and Blade turn back to Brandon and Kaycee.]

Brandon: Well, we've been thinking alot about how the first match went...

Kaycee: It's hard not to, it's all most people talk about.

Brandon: Indeed. And that's another thing we agree on at least a bit. That draw thing was bogus. So what we were thinkin was... This is Rasslemania right? The biggest show of the year. That's no place for draws!

So how's this work for ya? Let's take that outta the equasion. No Draws. No Countouts. No Disqualifications...

[The crowd cheers, but Brandon continues.]

Brandon: I'm not done yet!

[The Young Gun grins.]

Brandon: Let's take alla that outta the game... And then? Let's take these belts right here...

[He pats his belt, and then slowly, he turns to look upwards at the sky.]

Brandon: And let's put 'em allllllllll the way up there.

[Parts of the crowd explode in cheers, knowing what's coming, the rest wait in anticipation. Brandon looks back at his opponents.]

Brandon: And let's have ourselves a good ol' fashioned LADDER MATCH~!!

[And NOW the crowd goes nuts! Gates and Blade look at each other before Gates breaks out a huge smile.]

C.J. Gates: A ladder match?

[Brandon nods his head as the fans continue to cheer loudly.]

Blade: We've been pushing for a ladder match since the first title shot we got. We were denied it then, and we have been denied it ever since.

C.J. Gates: But it fits right in. Why leave the possibility of a shady finish, why allow another draw to muddy up the waters, when we can remove all possible doubt from the situation. We can make sure that there is a clear winner and that there is no restart complications.

Blade: So Brandon, Kaycee, we WILL have ourselves a ladder match!

[The fans go nuts again.]

Harvey: Even better! This rematch is not only going to be at the biggest show, but it's going to be a ladder match!

Chase: This just gets better and better!

Blade: Just be ready for a fight, because we are going to do all we can to get our titles back. And we will surely make this match one to remember.

C.J. Gates: Just listen to those fans. They want this match just as much as we do. They want to see tag team wrestling between the top two teams at the biggest show of the year, and that is exactly what we will give them. And after Rasslemania, we will climb back on top of the division when we recapture those belts.

Brandon: We'll see about that, gents. We'll see about that...

[Brandon offers a hand shake, which CJ accepts, before both teams shake hands with each other. Then "Rise To It" plays again as Gates and Blade exit the ring. They tag hands with a few fans before making their way up the ramp and head backstage.]

Harvey: WOW! Well there you have it folks, it's on. Rasslemania - The Exchange Rate versus Beautiful Disaster(c) for the Tag Team Titles... In a Ladder Match!

Chase: That's gonna be one HELL of a match!

[Brandon and Kaycee slide out of the ring and walk around ringside slapping hands as "Awake and Alive" hits again before the scene cuts to commercial]

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

"Jurassitol" By Filter plays out over the arena, as the lights flicker on and off. The Anti-Establishment, Dan & Cid come out to the arena, dressed in black & white tights, emblazoned with a white and black Canadian Mapleleaf and black boots with white shin guards.

Paige: Introducing first, The Team of Danny Crane, Cid Phoenix. They are the ANTI ESTABLISHMENT!

They quietly walk towards the ring, and roll underneath the ropes, where they get up on their feet, and climb opposite turnbuckles and fire up the crowd. Danny then exits the ring, while Cid jogs silently in place, awaiting the start of the match.

The Night by Disturbed hit’s the PA and out comes the team of Matt Ward and Alexandra Callaway

Danny covers but Matt is in and kicks Danny in the head. He lifts Danny up and takes him down with a Russian leg sweep. Matt climbs to the top rope and Cid gets in the ring and cuts Matt off with a punch to the gut

Harvey: Come on Ref, get him out of here

Cid grabs Matt and throws him off the top rope. Alexandra is on the top rope and dives off and goes for a Hurricanarana on Cid. Cid catches her, but she’s table to take him over the top rope and they both go to the floor. From the crowd, Young Mannie and JR Kingston jump the ring barrier and begin attacking Cid. Danny is able to go over and get in on the brawl. While Matt is in the ring watching this, Diamante jumps the ring barrier from the opposite side of the ring and sneaks into the ring behind Matt. He spins Matt around, kicks him in the gut and drops him with the Ego Trip.

Winner: No Contest

Diamante goes to the outside and helps out his team on the attack on Danny and Cid.

Harvey: The Mafia showing a little payback from last week.

The Mafia then leave the same way they came in as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

We come back from commercial with the Red Shield Mafia walking backstage and APW backstage interviewer, Shane West stops them

Shane: Red Shield Mafia, can I get a quick word.

Diamante, Mannie and Kingston stop and Mannie steps in

Mannie: Make this quick Shane, I wanna get high

Shane: Last week Cid and Danny attacked you guys and challenged you three to a handicap match.

Mannie: Yah, we heard. What he did tonight, lets just say, it was our way of accepting that challenge.

Kingston: Boys, Next week, Us three, against you two.

Diamante steps in

Diamante: And I just want to say, Matt Ward, last week, you got lucky, But I talked with President Jeff, he’s confirmed it. At Rasslemania VII, It will be me and you for the Xtreme Title. I’m taking back what’s mine!

With that said, The Red Shield Mafia walks off as we go back to ringside.


"Hate Me Now" plays over the loudspeakers as "The Real Show" Terry Marvin Steps out from behind the curtain. There is about a 50-50 mixture of cheers and boos as he comes out. He smirks before taking his glasses off and looking out to all the fans and pulling the microphone up to his face.

Terry Marvin: "Ladies and Gentlemen...WELCOME TO THE REAL SHOW."

Again a loud pop is heard mixed with boos as the crowd is split right down the middle. Terry kinda looks confused by this.

Terry Marvin: "Now, that's not something you hear every day. The fans, who I have spent my whole life berating are actually cheering and perhaps even chanting my name?"

As if on Queue, a "Terry, Terry, Terry" chant breaks out with some of the fans, as terry laughs and shakes his head a bit.

Terry Marvin: "You know...I've never really cared what you guys thought of me, whether you loved or hated me. And to tell you the truth, I still don't. You can cheer me, jeer me, throw trash at my head as I walk by, do whatever you want to do. That's your damn choice. But I've learned, over the past few weeks, that I do care about one aspect. Love or Hate me...I will do everything in my damn power to respect each and every one of you and make sure each and one of you RESPECT me."

More spattering of cheers ring out, slightly overpowering the boos.

Terry Marvin: "Last week. I took a step further in accomplishing that goal. Last week, I went TOE to TOE with Sally Talfourd and pushed her to her limits. Sure, in the end, I ended up a bit short. But Sally new that I was for real. So instead of shaking my hand like a classy broad that she pretends to be, what did she do? She showed her true colors, she showed that she HAS no class."

Expecting jeers from the crowd, Terry is surprised when the crowd is again split 50-50. He smiles.

Terry Marvin: "SALLY!!! It's not over between us, and it's not over by a long shot. When you're done playing house with Level one...when whoever else is done taking their best shot at you...I'll be waiting! You and I will tango again, and this time, I will NOT FAIL!"

Again, cheers ring out from the crowd as Terry paces around the ring.

Terry Marvin: "Now...I didn't come out JUST to talk about Sally Talfourd. I didn't even come out here to talk about my fatal 4-way match later this evening for a shot at the Overdrive title...which, in case you're wondering, I will walk away from VICTORIOUS!"

More cheers from the crowd.

Terry Marvin: "No, I came out here to talk about something more important. I've watched the state of this sport deteriorate over the last few years. The level of talent is declining, but that's not the worse aspect about it. See, there was a time in this sport when I started where, even if you didn't like your opponent, even if you wanted to rip out his spine, you respected each other. You were two soldiers battling on the field of war... But now, now that respect is lost."

Terry pauses and walks around the ring again.

Terry Marvin: "I am taking it upon myself to search out and gather together any and ALL individuals in APW that adhere to my line of thinking. It's time we took BACK the one thing that sets us apart from he heathens of this world...RESPECT. We will restore this sport, starting with APW, to it's rightful throne. We will bring back those qualities that we should hold dear. But I can't do it alone, I need help...and you who can help me know who you are. I'm officially recruiting. Those of you who hold certain qualities...you're on my list. Those of you, like our esteemed Champion, who have no respect for anything but our own interests...need not apply. I'll be talking to you soon APW....and soon It will be SHOWTIME!"

"Hate me Now" plays as Terry heads to the back and we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

"Everything" By Pillar hits as the fans let out a mixed reaction as Pence steps out onto the entrance ramp in street clothes. He hasn't shaved and his street clothes appear to be dirty, but Pence doesn't seem to care. In fact he walks with a swagger and a bit of pride in his step. As he nears the ring he gives his patented salute, but turns it into a whatever motion as he simply seems to brush the fans away. This causes the fans to boo as Pence get into the ring. Pence grabs a microphone sharply from the ring technicians hand as his music dies down and then he takes a look around, his eyes scanning all around. Finally he brings it to his lips.

"Jeff, I've played your game long enough. I've been your clean up boy for long enough...I want my chance to prove I'm worth something. I want my opportunity at one of your three new toys, otherwise I'm going to make your life a living hell."

The fans don't like it and don't know what has came over Pence in the recent weeks.

"I'm done playing fourth string, Jeff. I'm just done with it and I'm sick of it. I would say these fans are sick of it, but what would they know? They are blinded by the flashing lights of another Sally and Lester epic. Only I can see the truth. The toys, the advertisement, hell even the God damn show itself is nothing more than a fucking gimmick. A way for you to make a quick fucking buck. It sickens me that, I, Pence Weatherlight, have done so much for this company, but yet am getting nothing in return for my back breaking work. I gave you 2 stellar years, but when I have a string of bad luck you disown me? You forget about me? You know what Jeff, shove it!"

The fans are not liking this as they are now all booing as loudly as they can.

"I wish the masses could see what I see. I wish I could say that they are on my side, but I can't. I see that they are blinded by the glow of another failure of a match put together by a booking staff that doesn't believe in talent or history!"

Pence shakes his head in frustration and then begins to pace around.

"I've bided my time...I've watched as title opportunity after title opportunity has passed me by and how is my patience rewarded!? More waiting! More bull shit spreading around the airwaves like a fucking plague? Yeah, thanks for treating me like I'm a real special part of the APW community. These fans were the only thing that saved me every night."

Pence looks around the arena, he hears a few cheers, but there are still quite a few deafening boos.

"However, now they can't tell what is right...and what is wrong. And this match, this ME is all wrong, but all will be revealed in time. Everyone will know in time. All we need to do is wait a little longer and then everyone will see why none of those three deserve a championship. For now...I will settle for what is going on. I will wait a bit longer before taking out all of my rage and frustration on to one of these self acclaimed main eventers because quite frankly there is only room for one Main Eventer in APW and his name is Mr. MAIN EVENT!"

Pence drops the mic and waits for his opponent

The opening chords of MCR's "Na Na Na" begin to play over the PA as clips of random acts of destruction play over the tron in tune to the frenetic pace of the song. Cars crash into each other, planes fall from the sky, ships sink, bombs explode, riots ensue, and more. Just before the lyrics kick in and the song changes tempo, Brandon Young bounces out onto the stage. He 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 "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, in fiery gold font.

Paige: And his opponent, from Tucson, Arizona. Weighing in at 220 pounds. He is one half of the APW Tag Team Champions and a member of Beautiful Disaster…BRANDON YOUNG!!

As the infectious "Na Na Nas' of the chorus chime in Brandon bounces seemingly in tune with the song from one side of the stage to the other, getting the crowd worked up before stopping in the middle of the stage, throwing his hands high in the air with his left hand as sparks rain down on him from above. He looks out the crowd, and then runs down the ramp into the ring. He hops onto the nearest turnbuckle and raises the Title high in the air as he soaks in the cheers. Then he jumps down, pulls off his jacket and gets ready for battle.

Brandon Young Vs Pence Weatherlight


The bell rings and the two Megastars lock up and Pence grabs Brandon’s arm and twistes it and puts Brandon in a top wrist lock and Brandon brings himself to the corner to get the hold broken.

Harvey: Brandon should before more on Pence than celebrating with the fans. Lets not forget, Pence is a former 2 time APW Heavyweight Champion.

Chase: Last time these two we’re in the ring together was when Beautiful Disaster took on Pence and Sally in a tag team match, with Pence and Sally picking up the victory. Brandon may be looking for a little revenge here tonight

[President Jeff]

Hannah Storm is backstage with a microphone, looking for someone to interview-

-When Ryan Ruckus approaches, wearing his new “This Ruck’s For You” T-Shirt, and sporting a head bandage from where Level One busted him open last week.

Hannah: Ryan Ruckus!

-And normally Ruckus would flinch, to have a microphone shoved so abruptly into his face, but this particular time, he’s ready for it, and he pulls his own mic from inside his black jacket and holds it up to the backstage interviewer.

Ruck: Hannah Storm, Action Packed Wrestling backstage interviewer, how do you feel about the developments on Overdrive thus far, this evening?

Hannah, not used to being on THIS side of the process, kind of blinks a little.

Hannah: Um, are YOU interviewing ME?

Ruck: Do you always answer questions with questions? We’re trying to get to the truth of these matters, Ms. Storm. Inquiring minds what to know!

Hannah glances side-to-side, looking like a deer in headlights. If we didn’t know any better, we’d say her pretty little head was fit to explode.

Hannah: I’m confused…

Ruck: Let me make it easy on you. Who came out of retirement recently, and shocked the world, by joining forces with Level One, to form the Free Agency?

She gives a look that says this must be a trick, because the answer seems so self-evident.

Hannah: Ryan Ruckus?

Ruck: And who, despite coming up slightly short last week, proved on LIVE television that the current number one contender can neither pin him nor make him submit?

There’s that look again.

Hannah: Ryan Ruckus?

Ruck: And who, in just a short time now, is going to go out to that ring, defeat three other competitors, and cement himself a shot at the Overdrive title?

Hannah bites her lip.

Hannah: Well, Criss Cassidy has come REALLY close a couple of times. And AJ King is no slouch in the ring, either. But then, there’s Terry Marvin, who not only almost won Survive and Conquer, but took APW champion, Sally Talfourd to the limit last week. Which means-

Ruckus yanks the mic away.

Ruck: I’m sorry, the answer we were looking for was RYAN RUCKUS. (returning the mic) Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Hannah: Uh-

Ruckus pushes Hannah out of the frame and turns to smile at the camera.

Ruck: Well, there you have it, folks. Guaranteed victory for R2.0 in tonight’s Action Packed main event. Remember, you heard it here first, and you heard it here best. (beat) Darren… Johnny… back to you!

A little nod. A crooked grin. And we’re out back to ringside


"Fuel" by Metallica hits the speakers.

Paige: Please welcome the guest commentator for this next match, "Supersonic" Branden Harvey.

Branden Harvey walks slowly to the commentary booth. He's not into all the flash. Not this week. He takes a seat and puts the headset on

Darren: Welcome Branden

Branden: Thanks

Chase: I’ve always wondered, Are you two related? Like Darren is your long lost son or something

Branden: Maybe,

"Survival of the Sickest" by saliva plays. after a few seconds, Knuckles walks out and stares at the crowd.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, weighing 265 pounds, Johnny Knuckles.

He grins, shakes his head and storms down to the ring. he takes off his silk shirt, italian hat and gold chains and hops around in the corner with a look of hatred ready to attack.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing 215 pounds, C.J. Gates.

Gates reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope before springing to his feet, climbing the nearest turnbuckle and raising his arms in the air. He climbs back down and removes his cowboy hat and carefully hands it off, before removing his t-shirt.

Chase: We found out last week that Johnny was your mystery attacker Branden. How are you not jumping into the ring right now to tare him apart.

Branden: Johnny Knuckles is one tough customer. But trust me. He's going to pay for his actions soon.

Gates picks up Johnny Knuckles and locks on a side headlock. Knuckles is able to push Gates off into the ropes and Johnny Knuckles thumbs CJ in the eye. Gates holds his eye, and stumbles to the corner. Johnny Knuckles runs and and does a flying kick to the face of Gates in the corner and then drives his shoulder into Gates' Stomach.

Chase: Knuckles is going high risk.

Branden: The risk is to himself. C.J. is going to get out of this soon.

Gates charges the ring to save Harvey but Knuckles bails out of the ring. Knuckles and Harvey exchange words as Knuckles walks backwards up the ramp

Harvey: It was a matter of time before Branden snapped.

Chase: I still think you two are related.

Knuckles and Branden continue to exchange words as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back from commercial and "Supersonic" Branden Harvey is walking around backstage with a steel chair in his hand. He looks pissed.

Branden: KNUCKLES!!

Harvey walks through the hallway until he comes to Knuckles' dressing room. He kicks the door in. There's nobody in there. Harvey goes crazy and smashes all the breakable's in the room with the chair. He leaves the dressing room a mess of glass and continues his search for Johnny Knuckles. He walks down the hallway and runs into a Road Agent.

Branden: HAVE YOU SEEN KNUCKLES?

Agent: No. Sorry.

Harvey lets out a gutteral growl before hitting the Road Agent. He continues down the hallway.

Branden: KNUCKLES!!

APW Overdrive comes back backstage, and “Spaceman” is playing over the speakers as Biggs joins Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase at the announce table. Biggs' chair is next to Chase's.

Harvey: Welcome back to APW Overdrive, folks. We're getting ready for the Fatal Four Way Match to determine the #1 Contender for the Overdrive Championship!

Chase: Aren't you even going to introduce our guest, or do I have to do everything around here?

Harvey: (Annoyed) We're being joined by the Overdrive Champion, Biggs, who is no doubt down here to get a bird's eye view on his possible opposition for next week.

Biggs: Well I wouldn't call it a bird's eye view, Darren, considering that I'm on the floor and not elevated above the ring. Still, you're correct in your assumption that I want to get a closer look at the bums who may be getting a shot at my title.

Harvey: It's nothing short of a small miracle that you kept your title tonight the way Cyrus had you going!

Biggs: And it's nothing short of a small miracle that I don't walk over there and beat you senseless for your inane comment! The fact of the matter is that while I didn't defeat Chris Cyrus earlier tonight, he didn't defeat me either! I did successfully defend my title, just like I will next week when I face off against one of these four chumps that are going to compete here tonight!

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: The following contest is a Fatal Four Way Match scheduled for one fall. The winner will become the #1 Contender for the APW Overdrive Championship! Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 205 pounds, from Brooklyn, New York, “The Second Coming” Criss Cassidy!

Harvey: Cassidy has had two shots at the Overdrive Championship recently, coming up just short in both attempts. However, I've got to believe that Cassidy is capable of beating you, Biggs!

Biggs: Highly unlikely, Darren. I've beaten the man not once, but twice! He shouldn't even be in this match!

Chase: Hear hear!

Harvey: Please promise me you won't be sucking up to Biggs all night, Chase!

Chase: I can't make that promise!

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 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: And his opponents, first, weighing in at 245 pounds, from Las Vegas, Nevada, “The Real Show” Terry Marvin!

Harvey: Biggs, what do you think about potentially having to face off against a man like Terry Marvin next week? He's been awfully impressive since joining APW!

Chase: I'll tell you what he thinks! Terry Marvin may be impressive, but he doesn't know how to win!

Biggs: I can speak for myself, Johnny. But he's right, Darren, “The Real Show” has shown that he's skilled, but he needs to be able to put matches away if he hopes to get a shot at my championship belt next week.

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

The first few second of Hard to See by Five Finger Death Punch begin to play throughout the arena as the lights dim and flash red and black just as the music picks up tempo. From out of the curtains steps AJ King. He makes his way to the edges of the entrance stage pointing out into the crowd and walking over to the other side doing the same.

"I'm growing so disturbed
Nothing makes sense to me anymore
I'm learning to resist
Becoming more than you ever were"

Paige: And their opponent, weighing in at 215 pounds, from Ocean View, Delaware, AJ King!

Chase: King picked up a victory over Terry Marvin at Survive and Conquer! Do you think that will affect the way Terry Marvin approaches this match tonight?

Harvey: Absolutely! AJ King gained a lot of confidence with the victory, and looks to build upon that win with another one here tonight!

Biggs: Only to have his hopes and dreams crushed next week!

As the tempo picks up again AJ King runs down the ramp towards the ring sliding into the ring on his stomach, and quickly popping back up to his feet and seemingly running up the corner turnbuckle as he throws his hands outward in the air posing for the crowd.

"Cant explain, whats come over me (come over me)
Cant explain, why its so hard for me,
So hard to see your side."

AJ jumps down and runs to another corner as the music continues and finally jumps down as the last bit of lyrics fade out.

"Projecting all my anger
I cant seem to get this through to you
The walls are closing in
I dare you to walk in my shoes..."

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. 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. A doctor stands behind him, shaking his head a bit.

Paige: And their opponent, weighing in at 215 pounds, from Hollywood, California, accompanied by Doctor Bunko, Ryan Ruckus!

Harvey: Here comes the winner of the 2011 Survive and Conquer match! He's got to be the odds on favorite in tonight's contest!

Chase: Let's not forget about the fact that he flat out passed out last week! If Ruckus isn't at a hundred percent, I don't see him being able to win this match!

Biggs: I can tell you this for a fact, any wrestler who steps into that ring is never at a hundred percent. I'm just saying...

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 the bell to sound. With all four competitors in the ring, the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

#1 Contender's Match for the APW Overdrive Championship
“The Real Show” Terry Marvin vs. A.J. King vs. Ryan Ruckus vs. “The Second Coming” Criss Cassidy

[/u]

Marvin immediately goes for Ruckus, and the two begin to trade blows, while King and Cassidy pair off. Marvin backs Ruckus into the ropes, and gives him a powerful Clothesline that sends Ruckus falling out to the floor! While King and Cassidy are locked up in a collar-and-elbow tie up, Marvin stomps over and grabs a hold of both of their heads, smashing them together! He then tosses King out of the ring so he can focus solely on Cassidy!

Harvey: Looks like Terry Marvin has decided to bully on Criss Cassidy!

Chase: Well Marvin is the biggest man in the match by a good thirty pounds!

Biggs: That weight differential will start to make a big difference later in the match as the smaller guys will have a harder and harder time kicking out of pin attempts.

Marvin gives Cassidy a couple of solid shots to the face before whipping him into the ropes and catching him on the rebound with a devastating Side Walk Slam! He then pulls Cassidy up and gives him a quick Snapmare, followed up with a Short Dropkick to the back! By this point, Ruckus is up on the outside, but rather than going into the ring, he walks over to Doctor Bunko, rubbing the back of his neck while talking to the doc.

Harvey: What's Ruckus doing here? Is he just finding a way to stall for time?

Chase: Well he did pass out last week! Maybe the good doctor will have some sort of remedy for him!

In the ring, Marvin has Cassidy in a seated position, and is down on one knee, placing his knee into Cassidy's back while applying a Chin Lock! As Ruckus is talking with Dr. Bunko, AJ King comes over and grabs a hold of Ruckus by the head, slamming his face into the steel ring post! Bunko begins to yell at AJ that his patient is in severe pain, to which AJ replies by pie facing Dr. Bunko, causing the doc to fall backwards into the barricade! The fans are cheering for AJ as he pulls Ruckus back up and rolls him back into the ring. Marvin keeps the Chin Lock on while AJ gives Ruckus a few hard stomps before pulling him up and delivering a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Before AJ can follow up, Ruckus rolls out of the ring again. AJ stands at the ropes, yelling for Ruckus to get back in!

Harvey: Ruckus is such a coward! We saw this from him at Survive and Conquer, and we're seeing it again tonight!

Biggs: No Harvey, this is actually a very smart strategy on Ryan Ruckus' part! Winning a Fatal Four Way Match is all about picking your spots and taking advantage of opportunities. By staying outside the ring and letting the other guys beat each other up while remaining relatively fresh himself, well, that'll only benefit Ruckus!

By this point, Marvin releases the chin lock on Cassidy, and gets to his feet to focus on AJ. He attacks King from behind with some clubbing blows to the back before pulling off a German Suplex! AJ is holding the back of his head as he gets up to his feet, only to get caught in a Northern Lights Suplex! Marvin bridges the Northern Lights into a pin, and the ref counts, 1

Ruckus grabs a hold of AJ's foot, dragging him under the ropes and out of the ring!

Chase: Ruckus made the first of what will probably many saves over the course of this match!

Quick as a flash, Ruckus is up on the apron, and as Marvin gets to his feet, Ruckus is already flying towards him with a Slingshot Cross Body! Ruckus rolls up to his feet and runs to the ropes, allowing Marvin to get to his feet. Ruckus jumps up and tries to hook Marvin for a Hurricarana, but “The Real Show” counters by dropping Ruckus right on his head with a sloppy variant of the Powerbomb! Ruckus is spazzing out and holding his neck in pain as Dr. Bunko quickly slides into the ring to check on Ryan Ruckus! Marvin doesn't even give him a chance though, pulling the doctor up by the scruff of his neck and hooking him in for a Side Effect!

Harvey: I bet Dr. Bunko is questioning whether his job is really worth it right about now!

Chase: How can you be making jokes when Ruckus could be potentially seriously injured in there!

Biggs: Marvin just dumped Ruckus right onto his head! A man's neck is not supposed to bend like that!

While Marvin stands over the downed Dr. Bunko, yelling at him, Criss Cassidy comes up from behind him and rolls him into a School Boy! The ref counts the pin, 1

AJ King is back in the ring to make the save! AJ pulls Cassidy up to his feet and whips him towards the ropes, nailing him on the rebound with a boot to the midsection that hunches Cassidy over. King follows up with a Reverse Butterfly Kick, sending Cassidy to the mat! Right as King finishes the motion of the kick, Marvin comes right up from behind him to deliver his Russian Leg Sweep/Inverted DDT combination, You're Canceled! He goes for another cover, 1

Ruckus feebly breaks the count!

Harvey: It's almost like you have to have eyes on the back of your head to be able to win this match!

Chase: Biggs, of these four men, who do you want to face next week as you defend your Overdrive Championship?

Biggs: Well, conventional wisdom would say that I would like to face Criss Cassidy once more, because I've already beaten him twice. But the fact of the matter is that I'm in the middle of establishing myself as the absolute greatest Overdrive Champion of all time, and we all know the old adage that a champion is only a strong as his competition...

In the ring, Marvin pulls Ruckus up to his feet, but on the way, Ruckus gives him a hard shot to the jollies, right in front of the referee!

Harvey: I hate to cut you off, but just a reminder that Fatal Four Way Matches have no count outs or disqualifications! We go until we have a winner!

As Marvin stands there, holding his family jewels in pain, hunched over, Ruckus makes his way up to his feet, and hits the Rucker Dropper! He goes for a cover, 1

Marvin kicks out! Ruckus mounts Marvin, and begins to give him some punches to the face, but they lack the normal pepper that Ruckus' punches normally have. After a few punches, Marvin reaches up and shoves Ruckus off with such force that he falls backwards into the ropes! As Ruckus tries to pull himself up, Marvin runs over and gives him a Hard Knee to the side of the head that sends him spilling through the ropes!

Harvey: What a nasty shot there!

Chase: Marvin is right to target Ruckus' head, especially considering the state it's in after last week!

Biggs: This is an example of why I want to face Terry Marvin next week! The man knows how to wrestle. Back to the point I was trying to make before I was so rudely interrupted, a champion is only as good as his opponents, so considering that Ruckus and Marvin were the final two in Survive and Conquer, it's only obvious that I would want to face one of the them! Because by beating strong competition, it only makes my reign that much greater!

Marvin turns around to face back into the ring, and gets clobbered by a Straight Kick to the sternum from AJ King that sends him falling between the middle and top rope out to the floor as well! King turns back around to face Cassidy, pulling “The Second Coming” back up to a vertical base. King grabs a hold of Cassidy, hooking him in position for a Fisherman's Suplex, but before he can pull it off, Cassidy gives him some hard shots to the gut, forcing King to let go of the hold! Cassidy then pulls off a Spinning Neck Breaker! He pulls King back up and whips him into the corner, nailing a Stinger Splash! As King stumbles out of the corner, he receives a Russian Leg Sweep from Cassidy, who then proceeds to mount the top turnbuckle!

Harvey: Cassidy could be going for the Nightmare here! With both Ruckus and Marvin out of the ring, if he hits this, it's over!

Biggs: Don't tell me I'm going to have to embarrass this guy again!

Cassidy is feeling it, outstretching his arms a bit as if he were praising God before leaping off the ropes and going for the Nightmare! King rolls out of the way just in the nick of time, causing Cassidy to crash and burn! The fans are going wild as King motions for Cassidy to get up, and once “The Second Coming” is up, AJ King rocks him with the Lights Out Superkick that echoes throughout the arena!

Chase: They heard that in the cheap seats!

AJ goes for the cover, 1

Terry Marvin is back in to break the count! AJ and Terry begin to trade blows, and AJ gets the advantage, clobbering Marvin in the face before stepping out onto the apron and jumping up onto the ropes to nail Marvin with a Springboard DDT! With Marvin down on the mat, AJ climbs up to the top turnbuckle, and motions for Marvin to get back to his feet! Before he can pull off a move, though, Ryan Ruckus is up to shove AJ off the top rope to the arena floor! He then perches to the top turnbuckle and waits for Marvin to get up, Dropkicking him from behind! Marvin has so much momentum from the hit that he stumbles into the ropes, and Ruckus dumps him out! At this point, Cassidy is starting to get up, only to get the Cluster Ruck from Ryan Ruckus! Ruckus goes for the pin, 1

Winner: Ryan Ruckus[/center]

Paige: Here is your winner, and the new #1 Contender for the Overdrive Championship, Ryan Ruckus!

“I Hope You Die” blares over the speakers as Ryan Ruckus gets his arm raised by the ref. “The Real Show” curses under his breath outside the ring, while AJ King gets up and shakes his head as he walks towards the ramp. Ruckus is partying in the middle of the ring as the ref helps Cassidy out.

Harvey: Ruckus found his opportunity and took it, becoming the #1 Contender for Biggs' Overdrive Championship next week! How do you like your chances next week against Ruckus!?

Biggs: What kind of ridiculous question is that, Darren Harvey? I'll tell you what, I don't care what accolades Ryan Ruckus has already achieved in APW, next week, I'm out to prove that I'm the greatest Overdrive Champion of all time, at his expense!

Biggs removes his headset and heads towards the ramp with the APW Overdrive Championship slung over his shoulder. As he reaches the foot of the ramp, Ruckus yells from the ring for him to stop. Biggs turns around to see Ruckus pointing towards the belt, and then doing the hand motion around his waist to signify that he'll be taking the Overdrive Championship next week. Biggs just shakes his head and walks up the ramp, ignoring Ryan Ruckus while his music continues to play. APW Overdrive goes to it's final commercial break.

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage where we see Pence Weatherlight unwrapping the tape off his wrist from his match easlier tonight. Pence isn’t look to happy. The fans are heard cheering in the arena as they see President Jeff walk up to Pence.

Jeff: Pence, Can I have a word with you?

Pence: Well look who it is. So you finally decided to talk to me.

Jeff: Listen Pence. I wasn’t trying to ignore you. I’m a busy guy. APW isn’t like it was a year ago. We’re bigger now, I can’t just be everywhere at once like I used to.

Pence: So are you here to give me what I want then?

Jeff: Unfortunately, no.

Pence: Then carry on as I have no use for you.

Jeff: I think you want to listen to what I have to say.

Pence: Jeff, Last year, I headlined Rasslemania. I beat Level One for the World Title in an Iron Man Match. Name me one other person that went sixty minutes with Level One and beat him. There isn’t anyone. Now, this year, Rasslemania is rolling around, and I got nothing going for me.

Jeff: Hold on a second. This is why I’m here. I want to talk to you about Rasslemania. Like you said, Last year you headlined it and Beat Level One for the Title. This year Pence, you have to admit, your in a slump. And as I watch you wrestle Pence. Your not the same Pence as last year. I don’t see that fire and determination. But I can fix that.

Pence: You think so huh?

Jeff: No, I know so. Your in this slump Pence because your not fighting for anything. Before, you we’re always fighting to get that world Title. We’ll, times has change, new people are here and shot past you in the ranks. But that’s ok Pence. Because I got something that you can fight for. You fan fight for APW at Rasslemania. You can Represent Team APW and lead team APW to victory over IWC in the WAR GAMES match. I could easily go out and find four people and destroy IWC, but for this match Pence, I want someone who can benefit from this match. I want someone who can go in there and get the job done. And Pence, I know you can do it. Fight for a company that has never screwed you over. Fight for a company that treated you like royalty. This is your chance to thank APW by leading them to victory as Rasslemania VII in WAR GAMES! So what do you say Pence. Will you fight and lead us to Victory

Pence thinks for a second

Pence: You got it!

Jeff: Thanks Pence. I knew I could count on you.

Jeff walks away and Pence stares at him as we go to the ring for the contract signing.

The ring has been fitted with red carpet and a large desk with two chairs across from each-other. After a few seconds, Raining Blood by Slayer hit’s the PA and out comes President Jeff with contract in hand. Jeff makes his way down to the ring

Harvey: We’re just moments away from making the Main Event for Rasslemania VII official

Chase: For the past year, its been building up to these two as a final show down at Rasslemania.

Jeff gets into the ring and then 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, 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.

Harvey: And here comes the APW Heavyweight Champion!

She dashes up the steps, hoists herself over the top ring and bounces to the centre of the ring. Put You On Game- By Lupe Fiasco blasts the PA system, and out comes Level One with the crowd booing him

Chase: And here he is, the next APW Champion!

Level-One's music is slowly dying out as he casually marches up the ramp and enters the ring, microphone in hand. He immediately walks over to Sally Talfourd but President Jeff extends a hand in-front of him as he takes Jeff's advice and takes several steps back in the name of caution.

Level-One: You know, you're right Jeff; I shouldn't get too close to that monster. I'm sure she'd love to attack me and take me out before Rasslemania in order to keep that championship wrapped around her waist...

Sally Talfourd glares at Level-One as she takes a seat at the desk wanting to just get the contract signing done and over with. President Jeff looks at Level-One encouraging him to sit down but Level-One refuses.

Level-One: I am not going to sit on that chair. I have a reasonable suspicion to believe she's rigged it with some flesh eating bacteria that could give me a nasty infection and I need to dedicate my next few weeks to a dedicated training program so I can give all these fans a show they want to see!

Level-One raises his arms trying to get the crowd amped up, by they merely just repay him with boos. This doesn't seem to lighten Sally Talfourds mood as she grabs a microphone.

Sally Talfourd: I didn't do anything to your chair, Level! Please, let's just get this over with...

Sally Talfourd responds. This obviously doesn't sit well with Level-One (no pun intended) as he lifts up the chair and tosses it over the top rope.

Level-One: I don't trust her. I want another one!

The fans boo even louder as Sally Talfourd rolls her eyes and looks up at Jeff, who can only plead for her co-operation. A stage hand quickly retrieves a chair but Level-One leans over the rope and clarifies his request.

Level-One: You make sure it's not one that can fold up. Sally Talfourd may use that to her liking. Thank you....

The stage hand grumbles under his breath as several moments passed before an office chair is rolled from the back, down the ramp and into the ring. The chair is set up and Level-One is finally pleased as he goes to take a seat. President Jeff takes a deep breath as he places the contract onto the table and hands Level-One the pen. He goes to sign on the dotted line but then relents and slams the pen down and stands up grabbing the microphone.

Level-One: I can see it in her eyes, Jeff—she's plotting something!

Sally Talfourd: I don't need to plot to beat you and you know it!

Level-One quickly begins to flip through the contract and when he doesn't find anything he can use to his liking he slams the contract on the table in protest.

Level-One: She's underestimating me which means she without a doubt has a trick up her sleeve. If here something in this fine print that I don't know about, I swear to god Jeff you're going to regret it!

President Jeff interjects.

President Jeff: Level-One, I assure you the contract is everything we've already talked about. Level-One Vs. Sally Talfourd at Rasslemania for the APW world heavyweight championship. No stipulations, no hidden motives, no special clauses.

Level-One nods his head at Jeff as he takes a seat. He shoves the contract over to Sally Talfourd.

Level-One: Okay, I believe you—under the condition Sally Talfourd signs it first!

Sally Talfourd: Fine, Lester—if only it makes you sleep better at night!

Sally Talfourd responds sarcastically as she begins to sign her name on the dotted line making the match official. She slides the contract back to Level-One who begins to closely examine her signature, after finding no faults, he too signs his name and then hands the contract over to Jeff, who smiles.

President Jeff: Ladies and gentlemen, it's official. At Rasslemania seven, Level-One will go one on one with Sally Talfourd for the APW world championship! Any last words?

Sally Talfourd: All I have to say to Lester is...

Level-One quickly stands up and shoves the chair out from behind him. He reaches over and snatches the APW world title off off the table. Sally Talfourd quickly reacts and rises to her feet as Level-One begins to celebrate with her world title. She approaches Level-One and tries to grab it from him as a struggle ensues...

Level-One pulls left...

...Sally Talfourd pulls right

Level-One let's go of the championship strap as Sally Talfourd spins around from the momentum nailing President Jeff in the face with the APW world title!

Oooooohhhhhhhhh

Chase: Oh my god! Sally Talfourd just attacked President Jeff! She nailed him with APW world title!

Harvey: No she didn't! It clearly wasn't unintentional and never would have happened if Level-One didn't grab her title!

President Jeff is laid out cold in the middle of the ring, as Level-One dumps Sally Talfourd over the top rope onto the outside! He turns to see President Jeff laid out and walks over to tend to his aid. Sally Talfourd stumbles to her feet on the outside of the ring, as she comes to terms with what she's just done. She hears the crowd booing, as Level-One fights back a grin on his face, replacing it with one of concern. Sally Talfourd quickly turns and begins to march up the ramp, as Level-One picks up a microphone.

Level-One: You attacked our President! How could you, Sally! Why, Sally!? Why!?

Harvey: I can't believe Level-One is getting away with this right now!

Chase: Sally Talfourd know she's guilty that's why she ran away! This was an absolute unnecessary attack on our president here tonight! He was just out here to announce a huge match at Rasslemania we're all looking forward too!

Level-One kneels back over President Jeff as he begins to slap him across the face trying to wake him up. President Jeff does open his eyes which are glazed over. He begins to mumble something incoherently in a daze.

Harvey: Level-One is an opportunist if I ever saw one!

Chase: Look at him, tending to our president even when are so called champion, wouldn't! Level-One is a changed man and tonight is the first sign of what's to come in the near future!

Harvey: I regret to inform you all this is all for Thursday Night Overdrive!

We see President Jeff slowly being helped up to his feet before stumbling back into the ring ropes, as the APW logo flashes across the screen and we slowly fade to black.
