Overdrive - Sydney, Australia (04/07/11)

[President Jeff]

Overdrive opens up with President Jeff sitting at his desk

Jeff: At Rasslemania, there we’re two main matches that featured APW Megastars Verses the IWC Misfits. And at Rasslemania, The misfits did what no one thought that they could do and that’s beat the APW Megastars. You can argue that I cost team APW the match in the war games match when I tapped out, and that’s fine, but with the effort the misfits put in at Rasslemania and the why they handled themselves, I’ve decided to cancel the IWC project. With that said, I’ve hired all the misfits to an APW contract and decided to make Asylum APW’s official second show. APW Asylum will air every other Sunday as well as having Joint Pay Per Views, beginning at Test for the Best. Here at APW, we hope to continue giving you, the APW Faithful, the best wrestling programming on television today. And now, Lets kick off Season 4 of Overdrive!

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. If you missed Rasslemania VII, all I got to say to you is. You better have a good excuse cause Rasslemania was amazing

Chase: We crowned a new APW Champion with Level One defeating Sally Talfourd

Harvey: Match of the night by far. And lets not forget about the former IWC Misfits defeating the APW Megastars in their matches.

Chase: Things are about to get interested in APW

Harvey: And lets not forget about Diamante Valentine winning back the Xtreme Title as well as Biggs and Beautiful Disaster retaining their championships.

Chase: Also tonight, Pence Weatherlight was scheduled to face Tommy Knoxville, but Tommy was unable to be here tonight, so Pence has issued an open challenge

Harvey: And the man to accept, Biff Riboflavin, making his APW debut here tonight against Pence.

Chase: Lets not waste anymore time, lets go to the ring and kick off Season 4 of OVERDRIVE!!

Paige: The opening contest is scheduled for one fall

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: Introducing first, from Tucson Arizona, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is one half of the APW Tag Team Champions, he is 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

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.

Paige: And his opponent, from Hollywood California, weighing in at 215 pounds, he is the 2011 Survive and Conquer winner, RYAN RUCKUS!!

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...

Ryan Ruckus Vs Branden Young

The two lock up and Ryan gets a side headlock in on Brandon. Brandon quickly throws Ryan off into the ropes and Ryan comes back taking Brandon down with a shoulder block. Ryan runs off the ropes and hops over Brandon who turns over to his stomach. Brandon gets up as Ryan hits the ropes against and Brandon catches Ryan with a spinning heel kick. Ryan gets up and Brandon takes him over with a hip toss and then connects with a dropkick. Ryan bounces back up to his feet and falls into the ropes. Brandon runs and clotheslines Ryan over the top rope and onto the floor.

Harvey: What a match to kick off the new season of Overdrive with.

Chase: Fast pace action so far. I like it.

Brandon climbs to the top rope as Ryan gets back up to his feet. Ryan looks up at Brandon who’s diving off the top and catches Ryan with a cross body and the fans are cheering for Brandon. Brandon picks Ryan up and rolls him into the ring then jumps up on the ring apron. Ryan gets up and Brandon springboards off the ropes and goes for a dropkick and connects. Brandon goes for the first cover of the match

Kick out by Ryan

Harvey: We haven’t seen much of Brandon in singles competition, but he’s looking really good early on

Chase: Just wait till Ryan gets control of this match, because it will be over once he does

Ryan gets away from Brandon and goes to the corner. Brandon walks towards Ryan as Ryan is calling for a time out. Brandon is having none of it and goes to grab Ryan and Ryan pokes him in the eye. The crowd boo’s and Ryan grabs Brandon and puts him in the corner and starts pummeling him with punches. Brandon slides down to the mat and Ryan stomps on Brandon and the ref pulls Ryan away. Ryan goes back into the corner, pulls Brandon up to his feet and slams him in the middle of the ring. Ryan bounces off the ropes and drop a knee on Brandon’s face.

Chase: Take that Pretty boy!

Kick Out

Ryan puts his shin across Brandon’s throat and chokes him, and then begins arguing the count with the ref. The ref is telling Ryan it’s a 2 count and Brandon’s legs are kicking, trying to get some air. The ref finally see’s this and Ryan gets off Brandon. Ryan picks Brandon up and brings him to the corner and gives him a loud chop. Ryan throws Brandon to the opposite corner, but Brandon reverses it. Ryan hit’s the corner and Brandon charges at him. Ryan steps out of the corner and gives Brandon a drop toe hold and Brandon falls face first into the turnbuckle. Ryan grabs Brandon’s head and begins slamming it into the turn buckle before lifting him up and takes him down with a Ruckus leg sweep. Ryan hooks the near leg

Kick Out

Harvey: Ryan is totally taking it to Brandon

Chase: Didn’t I tell you, Once Ryan gets in control, this match is over and it almost is

Ryan pulls Brandon to the middle rope and leans him over it. Ryan then stands on Brandon’s back and pulls up the top rope, choking Brandon. The ref counts to 4 and Ryan gets off. Ryan then runs off the ropes and jumps on Brandon’s back. The crowd boo’s Ryan as Ryan runs off the ropes again, and does the same thing. The ref tells Ryan to get Brandon off the ropes and Ryan runs off the ropes again, and jumps at Brandon who moves and Ryan’s leg goes over the middle rope and the rope catches his groin and Ryan bounces back into the ring.

Harvey: That can’t feel good at all

Chase: How about you go ask Ryan how he’s feeling right now and let me know what he does to you!

Brandon grabs Ryan and starts chopping him and takes him to the ropes. Brandon throws Ryan into the ropes and kicks him in the gut and then gives him a swinging neck breaker. Brandon covers

Shoulder up.

Chase: That was too close for comfort

Harvey: Brandon almost picked up the victory right there

Brandon waits for Ryan to get up. Just as he does, he kicks Ryan in the gut and hooks him for a DDT, but Ryan drops to his knee and blocks it. With a free hand, Ryan is able to grab the referee and as the ref tries to get away, Ryan with his other arm, low blows Brandon. Brandon is bent over and Ryan drives Brandon’s face into the mat with the Rucker Dropper. Ryan then gets up and runs towards the ropes, jumps off the middle ropes with a lionsault and connects.

KICK OUT and the crowd cheers

Chase: Slow count by the ref

Harvey: The match was almost over right there

Ryan picks Brandon up and throws him into the ropes. Brandon jumps to the middle rope, moonsaults and catches Ryan with a reverse DDT. Ryan is down and Brandon goes to the top rope, signaling for the doomsday shuffle. Just as Brandon gets to the top rope, the crowd boo’s as AJ King and Terry Marvin run down to the ring. They slide into the ring and Brandon jumps down to the mat. AJ is in the ring first and Brandon starts fighting with him and Terry tackles Brandon to the mat and begin double teaming him with punches and the ref calls for the bell

Winner by Disqualification: Brandon Young

Ryan gets up and he joins in on the Brandon Young beat down

Harvey: Brandon had Ryan beat.

Chase: Your crazy, no he didn’t.

As the beat down continues, the boo’s turn into cheers as Kaycee runs down to the ring with a baseball bat in her hand. She slides into the ring and starts swinging for the fences and The Contourage ducks it all and get out of the ring.

Chase: That crazy chick has no business swinging a baseball bat at those guys.

Harvey: She wasn’t going to let her Husband and tag team partner get injured in this attack

The Contourage head up the ramp, looking at the tag champs as Brandon gets to his feet and we go backstage

Backstage, we find President Jeff in his office doing paperwork and playing solitare on his computer taking care of business on his computer. He pours himself some Hot Tea as a knock comes at the door.

President Jeff: Who is it?

"It's me!"

President Jeff: No, no, no, person on the other side of the door. That's not how this works. You knock on the door, i say who is it, and you say who it is. Now let's try it again.

The person knocks.

President Jeff: Who is it?

"Who it is!"

Jeff sighs in frustration.

President Jeff: For christ's sake, just come in!

The door swings open, and new APW signee Biff Riboflavin trots in. At that moment, Jeff quietly mutters "fuck" to himself, and suddenly wishes he were invisible.

Biff: Hi, Jeff!

President Jeff: Hello Biff.

Biff: I just wanted to come by and say thanks for the opportunity. I know there are plenty of guys out there who would kill for an APW contract. I know one that has! Though it wasn't for an APW contract, but because a guy owed him money. But the point still stands.

President: Biff....what do you want?

Biff: I just wanted to say, that tonight i am going go out there and show you why i deserve to be here. I'm going to make you proud Boss!

President Jeff: I'm glad to hear that Biff.

Biff nods and smiles at Jeff, and continues to do so for about thirty seconds straight, causing a painfully awkward silence.

President Jeff: Is there anything else i can do for you Biff?

Biff: No.

President Jeff: Well then you're free to go.

Biff: Ok.

Biff still continues to smile awkwardly, but does not move.

President Jeff: Now, Biff!

Biff rises from his chair...

Biff: Ok, see you later Je---

Biff goes to wave goodbye to Jeff, loses his balance and knocks Jeff's tea mug into his lap! The boiling Hot Tea burns Jeff's legs as he screams for Biff to get out. Biff quickly apologizes and runs out of the office.

President Jeff: OH MY GOD....IT'S WRESTLEFEST 8 ALL OVER AGAIN DAMMITT!

We cut to commercial

[President Jeff]

The scene opens as The RSM Is backstage in their personal dressing room, as a APW camera sneaks a peek through a slit in the door as the visual is a bit fuzzy but the audio is great, It seems Mannie & Kingston are actually having turmoil in the match, Mannie is doing handstands push-ups in the corner as Kingston walks past him and bumps Mannie, as Mannie quickly lands on his feet and throws a roundhouse at Kingston as Kingston ducks with his reflexes as they get nose to nose*

(Breathing hard in each other direction and the tension is enough to cut with a knife)

Kingston: Hey Superstar why don’t watch your balance (Pointing in the corner with his hand flipping back on forth) it’s not like it’s going help tonight and do you feet got a problem brah?

(Reaching in his pocket for a blunt, he places it on the side of his mouth as he squints to find a lighter as Kingston pulls out his own and lights the blunt for Mannie as Mannie he clutches the blunt quickly from his lips and nods in appreciation)

Mannie: Thanks I mean honestly no problem JR! (Shrugs) I mean hey I was just helping to see if our resident MMA star is on his toes at all times! By the way Damien have you seen Nero?

(Damien coming from the back room and nodding)

DW: Yeah daddy he’s out with Eva around the corridor, getting re-familiar with Cindy Shannon in the closet (Laughing) but seriously guys cut it out! We got another team to get rid of in the hell hole so let’s do it…Together? (Looks at them both)

*Mannie flips a 2 sided coin and Kingston catches it and Mannie walks away smirking! JR wonders why he as looks down as the coin and one side its two friends holding a strong handshake and the other side a man being stabbed in the back, JR shakes his head as the scene fades*


Big black letters reading, ''Level-One'' appears across the screen for millions at home and the APW audience. Slowly, the camera lens begins to pull away and the name becomes smaller amongst a sea of gold. Eventually, we have the full picture. The APW world champion with the most desired prize in professional wrestling strapped proudly to his shoulder.

President Jeff: ''Congratulations, Level-One. At Rasslemania you made history becoming a four time APW world champion and words cannot describe how impressed I was with your performance at Rasslemania, man. The two of you tore the roof off the building!''

A voice utters about. The camera spins around quickly to President Jeff sitting behind his desk with his hands neatly and professionally folded in-front of him. Level-One steps up within view taking a seat casually on the corner of his desk as if he owned the place.

Level-One: ''Save your breath, boss. This isn't Pence Weatherlight or god forbid, Sally Talfourd you're dealing with here. There's no need for any extra added hype or praise, even if it comes from a man as well as respect as you are in this business, Jeff. Now, while I am well aware what hype can do for your pockets—I assure you, I'll be making all the money you could ask for and more merely by, you know, wrestling. That is what the people want...''

The live crowd gives a solid pop to this notion as a stage hand shuffles into President Jeff's office and taps Level-One on his shoulder. He looks at the stage hand as if he was in the wrong place but takes a deep breath and hears him out, anyways.

Stage hand: ''Level-One the show has gone live. We need you to head down to the ring...''

Level-One looks to President Jeff who looks down at his watch. The stage hand was right. Jeff nods his head in agreement as if to say, ''go on... we'll talk later''; but the champion clearly objects to this notion.

Level-One: ''I am not going out there...''

President Jeff: ''What? What do you mean you aren't going out there!? You're the new champion coming off the biggest win of your career—it's an overdrive tradition you start off the show with a bang...''

Level-One looks at the stagehand and then back at President Jeff before taking a deep sigh. They just didn't seem to get it.

Level-One: ''As much as I'd love to see my fans right now; I know they're much more eager to see some wrestling, not me talk about Sally Talfourd for twenty minutes to open up the show. We all saw what happened at Rasslemania, Jeff. She brought her best and her best wasn't enough. We put on a great match. I emerged victorious. That's it. Done...''

President Jeff: ''With all do respect Level; this is my promotion, not yours. I think I know what's best for Thursday Night Overdrive...''

Level-One: ''I'm sure you do, Jeff; which is why you're going to keep your champion and his fans happy, isn't that right?''

President Jeff closes his eyes shut tight before swallowing a piece of his pride and allowing cooler heads to prevail responding with a solid nod.

President Jeff: ''Okay, fine. Have it your way, Level-One... just this time!''

Level-One: ''So what did you want to see me about, again?''

President Jeff slides back in his chair as he stands up on a vertical base. He slowly walks around the table towards, Level-One.

President Jeff: ''I know after your match with Sally Talfourd you requested that she receives and immediate rematch at your APW world title but I am afraid it is not in our best business to make that happen. You two have been going at each-other for far too long and the fans want something, different. So, tonight—I invite you to sit back in my office with me and we can go over several participants in tonight's matches to find a potential world title contender...''

Level-One immediately raises a hand in objection as he leans over towards the helpless stage hand, all the while looking at President Jeff as if he was foreign to the human species.

Level-One: ''Is he asking me out on a date?''

...

President Jeff: ''No, I'm not asking you out on a date!''

Level-One takes a breath of relief, slaps his title belt twice and repositions it back onto his shoulder, proudly.

''Then it sounds good to me. Though, I can't lie. I'm really disappointed I won't be able to beat Sally Talfourd again...''

Seconds later, a big screen television has been exposed in a hidden wall behind President Jeff; Level-One is clearly, impressed.

Level-One: ''Though, I wouldn't mind re-living the moment on a television like that! I'm pretty sure you could count the craters on her face with the Hi-Def quality...''

Silence, only for a split second.

Level-One: ''Hey, by any chance is Kaycee Young wrasslin' tonight?''

President Jeff shoots a look of disgust Level-One's way as he carelessly jumps onto a leather sofa President Jeff's office, coaxing back with the world title in hand.

Jeff: Did you see the opening match between Brandon and Ryan. Pretty good match huh?

Level-One's: Sorry, I know this is a horrible way to start this off but I actually didn't see the match. Emergency bathroom break! I hope both competitors understand. I heard it was a good match though and hope that it set the tone for the rest of the night. I for one hope that isn't the case though or your private bathroom is never going to be the same again

Jeff: You say out of my bathroom.

The scene fades to black as Level One gets comfortable.

[President Jeff]

* The scene opens as Nero, Eva, and Cindy walk out a closet with their clothes un-button and with Nero having lip-stick all over him, they are approached by the Overdrive cameras as Nero smirks and shoves the camera on the ground as the arena and in-house audience is only seeing a slanted view of Nero smacking Eva & Cindy on the ass and mouthing some words*

Nero: First stay out my business unless I order for your presence camera man stay the hell out of my face (Points at the camera man) Now Cindy baby I’ll see you later at the hotel but me and Eva! 1st have to handle some business!

*Eva kisses Cindy, and afterwards Cindy bites her lips as the Valentines walk away and we go back to ringside *

Harvey: That was kinda weird.

We come back to ringside with Rachel Cole and Elizabeth Ashe in the ring

Paige: The following contest is a triple threat match. Introducing first, Rachel Cole! And her opponent, Elizabeth Ashe!

"End of the World" plays over the speakers, the deceptively calm tempo seeming to lull the crowd until Jacob Whitehead walks out, followed by his manager, Elizabeth Page. He struts down the ramp until he gets to the floor, then he scoops up Liz, kissing her fiercely, the lewd display gleaning even louder boos from the crowd and a smirk from both Jacob and Liz.

Paige: And their opponent, making his APW debut…JACOB WHITEHEAD!

Jacob hops up on the apron and steps over the top rope before striding into the center of the ring where he ignores anyone that might have come down to the ring before him to taunt the crowd. Eventually he'd settle down and head for his corner, hunkering down and waiting for the fight to begin.

Elizabeth Ashe Vs Rachel Cole Vs Jacob Whitehead


The match begins with both Ashe and Rachel charging at the big man. Jacob grabs Ashe and shoves her to the mat and then head butts Rachel. Ashe gets up and Jacob nails her with a European uppercut. Ashe goes down and Jacob grabs Rachel and throws her into the ropes and gives her a big boot to the face.

Harvey: Is this a triple threat or a Handicap Match because Jacob is dominating here early on.

Chase: I think Ashe and Rachel could use the help of Mr. Dangerous right now.

Jacob grabs Ashe and throws her into the corner. He then grabs Rachel and throws her into Ashe. Jacob runs and crushes the two girls in the corner. Rachel falls to the mat and Jacob grabs Ashe and lifts her up in a military press and slams her down to the mat. Jacob picks Rachel up and lifts her up over his shoulder. Jacob runs towards the corner and drops Rachel face first on the top turn buckle.

Harvey: Man, Jacob is man handling these two girls

Chase: If this wasn’t taking place in a ring, Jacob would be in jail about now.

Ashe is slowly getting back up and Jacob goes over and takes her head off with a round house kick. Jacob then picks Ashe up and gives her a couple knee strikes and then cloth lines her to the mat. Rachel is slowly getting up, Jacob grabs her and lifts her up in a staling suplex into a sitdown jaw breaker

Harvey: Hold crap what a move

Chase: He calls that the Lightning Strike.

Jacob then grabs Ashe and gives her the Lighting Stike. Both girls and laying next to each other and Jacob huts his hand on both their chest for a double cover

Winner: Jacob Whitehead

Harvey: Damn, Jacob destroyed these two girls

Chase: An impact of a debut

Jacob celebrates his victory as we go to President Jeff's office where Level One is watching the match

Jeff: What did you think. Jacob pretty impressive in his debut.

Level-One's: This match was over before I could even get into it. Which is a shame, when two talented women that aren't named Sally Talfourd just so happen to be involved! On the positive side, it's safe to say I don't have to worry about losing to anymore women, anytime soon. The fans didn't seem to care about this match, so I think they'd be mad at me if I pretended to as well. Jacob Whitehead is the real loser here; there's no way he's going to date either one of these chicks, now. Next...

We go backstage where "Supersonic" Branden Harvey is preparing for his match with Khaos. Cindy Shannon approache him.

Cindy: Branden, not long from now you'll be facing Khaos. He's undefeated in singles competition here in APW. He was the final remaining member of APW in the APW vs. IWC Battle Royal at Rasslemania. And you? You're on a losing streak. You haven't won a match in almost two months. What makes you think you can beat Khaos?

Branden: You're right, Cindy. I haven't won a match in nearly two months. Not in APW, anyway. But all this seems... familiar. When I first came to APW, I went on a two month losing streak. That strak nded when I beat Eric Steele. He hasn't been heard from since. I went on to bea Victor Hades. He hasn't been heard from since. Ancient history? Maybe. But tonight, my losing streak ends. Tonight is my night. Tonight is the last night we ever see Khaos in APW. Cindy, it's time to break the sound barrier with a Sonic Boom. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a match to win.

Branden walks away.

Harvey: Branden vs Khaos, NEXT!

Commercial

[President Jeff]

*DURING THE BREAK*

We see Khaos in the ring with the microphone

Khaos: At Rasslemania, I outlasted every APW megastar in the APW/IWC Battle Royal match. I may have lost, but one thing for sure, I got noticed. And for the past two weeks, I been looking at the roster and deciding what my goals in APW can be. And right now, there’s one man and one title I have my eye on. So Biggs, I hope your watching, because I’m about to make an example out of Branden Harvey

We cut back live to ringside as Khaos is in the ring with his music plays

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, Introducing first, KHAOS!

"Fuel" by Metallica hits the speakers. Branden Harvey sprints through the curtain and toward the ring.

Paige: And his opponent, making his way into the ring, weighing 140 pounds, "Supersonic" Branden Harvey.

When he reaches the ring, he leaps into the air, spiringboards his right foot off the apron, and uses the momentum to carry him over into a front flip over the top rope, landing in the center of the ring.

KHAOS KICKS OUT!!!!

Harvey: Oh my God. I don't think anyone has kicked out of the Sonic Boom before.

Chase: Khaos isn't just anyone. He's the future of APW.

Harvey: For once we agree. That is, if he can keep this up.

Chase: What are you doing? Agreeing with me so I stop liking Khaos? It's not going to work. I can't even enjoy this match anymore.

Harvey: Good. Maybe you'll just sit there in silence.

Harvey is astounded. He stands Khaos up only to get hit with a low blow. As Harvey is hunched over holding his groin, Khaos runs across the ring and kicks him in the ribs.

Winner: Khaos

Khaos celebrates his victory as the ref raises his arm

Chase: Another win for Khaos

Harvey: Impressive victory. Biggs may have his hands full with this man

We quickly cut backstage for Level One's thoughts

Level One: I'm pretty sure I am going to say something that's going to get me in trouble here but then again, how much of a threat does Branden Harvey really pose? Okay, so he's a good kid. He's still green and could benefit from a few of my training session (only 1999$ per hour) but a Level-One vs. Branden Harvey match at Mayhem for the APW undisputed title? Worst. Idea. Ever. As for this Khaos, guy? Imagine trying to sell a pay-per-view called ''Mayhem'' headlined by a guy who calls himself, ''Khaos''? Cliche, sunday...

We go back to ringside

Khaos rolls out of the ring after the match leaving Branden Harvey in the ring alone. He gets a microphone from someone at ringside. The fans still cheer on their favorite superstar whether he wins or loses.

Branden: You know you guys are amazing. I mean even after losing at Rasslemania and what had happened here tonight, it just means so much that you guys have my back no matter if I win or lose or who I face. For that I thank you.

The fans cheer and start a Supersonic chant which dies down as quickly as it starts.

Branden: And for a while you were all I had. I mean after my wife faked her own death and me going to prison for a few days I had lost all hope. So I thank you. But onto bigger things, as you know today is April 7th. For the last few weeks we have seen these promos during commercials that someone is returning. It never said who. Then about two weeks ago that same person sends in this video to APW.com leaving little hints on to who he is. If you have not seen it, you’re in luck! I got the footage here tonight to show you. Play it!

Harvey points at the titatron.

The video ends as the fans start yelling out who they think it is and who they wish it to be.

Branden: Now you guys are probably wondering why I’m bringing this up. Well as I watched this, I realize this is directed towards me. Why? Well I have no clue but I have come up with two suspects to whom I think it might be.

Suspect number one. This person mentions that he could be God. I don’t know in what sense he believes himself to be one. He comes off as cocky and arrogant. So for this reason I believe it to be Michael Lively. However he wasn’t well liked by you the fans or us in the back, so I doubt it is him.

Suspect number two. He claims he is a fan favorite. The guy never liked me and actually started to believe his own hype. A big name contender back in the day. So I am so so sure that this is the guy. So I’m calling you out right now, JOHN GREEN!

The fans do give a few cheers but are not really interested in the former APW Champion. A few moments pass as no one comes out.

Branden: Come out Green, we all know it is you. I can understand if you are afraid of ….

Harvey is cut off as the lights turn off and the titantron lights up.









The lights come back on and at the top of the ramp is Jesse Nuñez! The fans are out of their seats cheering.

Harvey: It is Jesse Nuñez! He’s back!

Chase: I haven’t heard the fans cheer like this for a superstar in a long time!

Branden is in the ring dumbfounded. Jesse smiles as he walks down toward the ring. He walks up the steel steps and enters the ring.

Paige: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, from Phoenix, Arizona! Jesse “The Prodigy” Nuñez!

Jesse walks past Branden in the ring and toward the announcer and asks for a mic. Jesse turns back to where Harvey stands as “Forever” fades off. The fans are chanting “JESSE.” There are a few boos in there which is understandable. Both men in the ring look around at the fans. It is like Rasslemania carried over to this week.

Jesse Nuñez: Finally… The Prodigy has come…

Branden: Hold on!

The fans boo as Branden interrupts Jesse.

Branden: Who do you think you are? The Rock? Why are you here?

Jesse laughs.

Jesse Nuñez: You are right. I ain’t The Rock. For you do not have anything to worry about from him. But me, you have much reason to be afraid. You see Harvey about a year ago I walked away from APW. It…

Branden: So you lost your touch.

Jesse glares at Branden.

Jesse Nuñez: No it had nothing to do with that, because believe me I was up there in the main event scene instead of just the two you guys have right now. No I left because of a contract dispute and that’s all you need to know. Now I’m back for a few reasons and that…

Branden: To go after President Jeff.

Jesse Nuñez: Interrupt me again and I’ll shove my foot so far up your ass that you will wish you were back in prison where they at least used lube before they raped you! Listen Harvey, I do not like you. I left this business believing someone like me would come here and give these people what they deserve. He never came, instead they were left with you to brainwash them into believing you were all they had left.

Branden: But…

Jesse grabs the microphone from Branden and throws it up towards the ramp. The fans cheer.

Jesse Nuñez: Just shut up, shut the hell up. See its reasons like this why I hate you. I’ve watched you on tv and see you doing pointless promos with Will Smith and other bullshit and these fans cheer you like you could do no wrong. Well you did wrong by me. I’m here to take back APW. Considering you are ranked number seven in APW’s Top 20 Most Wanted. What better way to take care of you and move up the ranks. I’m back to collect the bounty on your head Branden. But since I’m such a nice guy, I’m going to give you a week’s head start, so get out of my ring.

Branden looks at Jesse not knowing what to do; however Harvey turns to leave the ring. Jesse then grabs his shoulder and Branden turns around throwing a punch. Jesse ducks underneath it. Branden turns around again and Jesse lifts him up onto his shoulders as the fans are cheering.

Harvey: The Resurrection!

Chase: This is not good for Branden!

Jesse lays Branden out with his finishing move. “Forever” by Drake begins to play again. Jesse looks around and poses for the fans as they head into commercial.

[President Jeff]

We're back from the commercial break to a rather unfamiliar sight. Darren Harvey is in the ring, a microphone at the ready. The crowd dies down to a low murmur, trying to figure out why our trusty and handy commentator is taking up precious camera time.

Harvey: Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you're enjoying this episode of OverDrive.

The crowd roars in approval.

Harvey: We're excited - just like you - to get back into the swing of things Coming off the back of Rasslemania, we've got only the best and the biggest matches for you coming up. Unfortunately, I'm here to talk to about something rather unfortunate. You see, Sally Talfourd, our previous APW champion, is supposed to be here.

A resounding boo for Sally, both as a result of her recent actions and the fact that she's missing.

Harvey: APW staff and management has repeatedly tried to get in contact with her after Rasslemania. We were able to get in touch with her agent a few days ago, who informed us that all Sally had wanted was some air time to speak to you all. However, here we are and Sally is no where to be seen.

Again, the boos from the crowd are deafening. Harvey holds up a hand to try and quiet them down. After a wait, he keeps on talking.

Harvey: APW management were left with little alternative but for me to come out here and apologise to you. We lead you all to believe that she would be that Sally Talfourd would be here, and we can't deliver on that. You don't need to worry - Sally Talfourd will be reprimanded and punished as a result of this. But until then, please, sit back and enjoy the rest of the show!

The Arena Is Anxious As The crowd goes quiet as the camera zooms into the video screen and the handsome face of Diamante Valentine is slicking his hair back and laughing as suddenly the silence turns into loud boos from males and big cheers from females as Shamans Harvest - Broken Dreams blares through the arena, As Eva Valentine Walks Through The Curtains Wearing A Louie Vutton Dress She Looks Stunning, As She Poses Sensual And Nero Soon Walks Behind Her Smirking As He Is Wearing A Custom-Made Suit, While They Walk Hand & Hand Nero Is Clutching His Xtreme Title On His Shoulder*

(The Valentines are ecstatic as Eva steps on the ring steps and Nero steps down on the bottom rope allowing her to step in as she returns the favor as she steps over the second rope and bends over wiggling back and forth as Nero steps in and bites her bottom before getting in and he leans on the ropes as while she demands a microphone)

Eva: (Clearing his throat and tapping the microphone) is thing working (Snarling at the crowd) If haven’t seen or heard me before! Please allow me to introduce myself as Mrs. Valentine the wife Diamante and I’m here to grace tonight for only 2 reasons, One is because this man asked me; And because I thought it would be nice to allow all the Wanna-be models and pathetic people in the audience to have a real look at Perfection!

Chase: Look at Diamante, did you know he’s the only man to hold the Xtreme Title more than once. Now that’s impressive

(Eva walks back and forth showing off his dress and laughs)

Eva: Ahhh! Doesn’t feel good to know I am better than all you can even dream of! And for every man in the arena, feast your eyes on a real woman (Points to herself) because you will never be able to me to touch me! And this is…This is what a real man looks like (Points to Nero as he slicks his hair back) And no one I give to you the man you all paid to see, My Ex-Husband; Diamante Valentine!

(Eva and Nero share a kiss as he is handed the microphone and he leans on the ropes as loud boos are filling the arena)

Chase: Everyone quiet, Diamante is trying to speak.

Harvey: I don’t think they heard ya

Nero: I’ll wait!

(The boos get louder as Nero smirks)

Nero: See you people! Don’t understand I control how you feel, I put the asses in the seats so there for you will listen and SHUT UP!

(The crowd is real frantic as Eva is clapping in approval)

Nero: See I told prophecy on the last Overdrive that I would embarrass the so called “Gold Standard” Matthew Ward and no look at me the belt is back where it belongs and I’m standing tall as tonight on the other hand Mannie & Kingston will finally rid the APW of him once and for all and how sad before his little Wanna-be Stable will be gone before it started too! See I am the best in the world at Xtreme wrestling, and this belt proves it! And let me give you an historic APW fact, I am the only man to accomplish on RassleMania 7 that wrestlers like Streets Wilson; Chris Cyrus; Victor Hades, And Even Michael Lively! And do you know what that is boys and girls?

(The crowd goes silent in interest)

Nero: Well I’ll tell you what it is, and that was becoming the first ever multi-time Xtreme champion in APW history! And for everyone who can’t stomach this…Well I got news for you! You can all go *Bleep* yourselves, Because this title is not going anywhere and I plan on retiring the belt after I gone through everybody worth giving a damn about, So get used this handsome face being addressed as your APW Xtreme Champion Thank You (Laughing)!

*The crowd almost starts a riot as they start to throw garbage the couple as the APW security helps escort them to the back as Eva is starting to be bothered by the APW Faithful and we go to commercial.*

[President Jeff]

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

Releasing the Demons by Godsmack pumps in throughout the arena, the crowd is looking on in awe awaiting the presence of the madman. "What It Is" Captain Klappton steps thru the curtain and hits the ramp along with his tag team partner, Fire Dragon. They taunt the fans on their way to the ring

Paige: Introducing first, the team of CAPTAIN KLAPPTON & FIRE DRAGON

Klappton slowly climbs the ring steps as he continues to taunt and scream at the fans. Fire Dragon slides in to the ring under the bottom rope. Klappton steps over the top rope and enters the ring. The two wait for their opponents

"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, with both dressed in black tights with blue trim & black boots with blue shinguards.

Paige: And their opponents, Cid Phoenix, Danny Crane, They are THE ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT

They quietly stalk towards the ring, and roll underneath the ropes, where they get up on their feet, and climb opposite turnbuckles and raise their arms, firing up the crowd.

Anti-Establishment Vs Captain Klappton and Fire Dragon


Danny Crane and Captain Klappton are starting this match off. The go to lock up and Danny ducks away from the big man and starts attacking him with kicks to the legs. Danny runs off the ropes and comes back, ducking a big boot from Captain. Danny hit’s the opposite ropes, comes back and dives at the Captain with a cross body block, but Captain Klappton catches him and lifts him in the air with a gorilla press and then slams him down to the middle of the ring. Danny crawls over to Cid Phoenix and tag him in.

Harvey: I think Captain Klappton is bigger than Cid Phoenix and Danny Crane put together

Chase: IT IS WHAT IT IS!

Cid gets in the ring slowly. The two go for a lock up and Cid gets behind Captain and jumps up on his back and wraps his arms around his head for a sleeper. Captain backs up and crushes Cid in the corner. Captain turns and grabs Cid by his arm, pulls him out of the corner and takes him down with a short arm clothesline. Still holding on to Cid’s arm, Captain drags him over by Fire Dragon and tags him in. Fire Dragon jumps up to the top rope and comes off with a frog splash and covers as Captain gets out of the ring

Harvey: The disadvantage that Captain Klappton has is that he’s so big, he can’t get into the ring to make the save fast enough

Chase: IT IS WHAT IT IS!

Danny gives Dragon a Russian Leg Sweep and then Danny climbs up to the top rope. Danny waits for Dragon to get up and as he does, Danny dives off the top rope and Dragon jumps and dropkicks Danny in the mid section. Both guys are down and crawling to their corner.

Harvey: Both team needs the tag

Chase: Who ever tags out first may win this

Winner: The Anti-Establishment

Cid quickly rolls out of the ring as Danny runs over to his partner and Fire Dragon is shocked.

Harvey: That came out of no where.

Chase: The expression on Fire Dragon’s face say’s it all

The Anti-Establishment celebrate their victory as we go to backstage for Level One's thoughts

Level One: Tag teamed a bag of dorritos with President Jeff... what match are we talking about again?

(The scene cuts backstage in the locker room of the Exchange Rate. Gates is sipping a bottle of water between stretches, getting himself ready for the match while Blade sits on a chair, watching the monitor. Gates places the bottle down and stands up.)

C.J. Gates: Are you ready to get back in the hunt?

(Blade doesn't answer.)

C.J. Gates: Hey, B, you there?

Blade: Yeah, I'm here.

C.J. Gates: And you're ready to beat the Contourage and get back in the hunt for the titles, right?

Blade: Of course I am.

C.J. Gates: Excellent. That's what I like to hear. Because you and I both know that we are the tag division, right? That the Exchange Rate is one of the top teams.

(Blade nods.)

Blade: Of course we are. Nothing would be better than taking the titles from the Young's.

C.J. Gates: You're coming around. We have been damn close in two tries, and you know what they say, third times a charm.

Blade: We just have to get to that third try.

C.J. Gates: In due time. And it starts tonight with Marvin and King. If we both bring our A game, we'll do nothing but win. And eventually, get those titles back.

(Blade nods his head a few more times.)

Blade: Whatever you say.

C.J. Gates: Good. So...let's go out there and win tonight, alright?

(Blade nods again as the scene fades to commercial.)

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up in a locker room backstage at Overdrive. "The Real Show" Terry Marvin is standing there with his tag team partner for the night and member of Contourage...AJ King.

Terry Marvin: "Just think... in just a little while, a new era will begin, an era I never thought I'd step into. It's the era of our tag division dominance."

AJ King: "You know, it's almost not fair to have the two of us teaming up like this. Especially when we're going against a team with an underachieving flake who can't be counted on..."

Terry Marvin: "yeah, and Blade is even worse! Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he just didn't SHOW UP tonight."

They laugh a little bit to each other as if they were in on some sort of inside joke. A figure appears at the door way. It is Rachelle Lodge walking in quietly and looking at Terry. They both look at each other, then slowly turn and look at AJ who's just standing there like nothing else is going on. Suddenly he understands that they need some time alone.

AJ King: "oh...uh, I'm just gonna go...do...something."

AJ leaves the room and Rachelle steps inside.

Rachelle Lodge: "Yeah, so look. I was kinda harsh on you the other day."

Terry Marvin: "Don't appologize... you were right. There were other reasons I was ready to pack it in that had nothing to do with wrestling."

Rachelle Lodge: "I know...I kinda figured it out when I took the time to think about it. That's kinda why I'm here."

Terry looks at her confused for a second.

Rachelle Lodge: "I may have completely over stepped my bounds here, but I brought a little surprise for you."

Rachelle steps back outside the door and says something. She walks back in and behind her is a teenage girl...one we kinda recognize from Terry's photo album. Terry's eyes get wide.

Terry Marvin: "Lacy...what...I don't understand?"

Rachelle Lodge: "I went to see her. I know that the two of you have a lot of stuff out, and I know that it's not going to be easy. But there was no way I was going to sit back and watch while you were in that much pain. It just wasn't right. So I managed to convince her and at least come back for a little while and talk to you."

Terry looks as if he barely heard a word that she said. His eyes are fixed solely on Lacy.

Lacy: "Look, I'm only here cause this crazy chick was telling all these wild stories about how sad you were, and how sorry you were...and then she kept hounding me until I finally gave in. I'm here for a couple days, then I'm gone....for good."

Terry nods in understanding.

Terry Marvin: "Well, a couple days is a couple days, I appreciate it...."

Lacy just shakes her head.

Lacy: "Didn't do it for you. Hell, far as I'm concerned you don't even exist. But, somehow I couldn't stop thinking about you...so I might as well get it out of my system and get some closure on the bastard that walked out on me!!!"

Rachelle looks shocked at these words as they seem to cut deep into Terry.

Rachelle Lodge: "Well...we're gonna go get our seats. Um good luck?"

Lacy continues to overt her eyes from Terry and just leaves ahead of Rachelle. Rachelle looks back with a sorry look on her face, but Terry just shrugs it off. After they left, Terry sits back on the bench with a worried look on his face. His daughter just showed up out of the blue right before he main event Overdrive...talk about pressure. The scene fades to ringside.

Paige: The following open challenge contest is scheduled for one fall

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

Paige: Introducing first, weighing in at 250 pounds, PENCE WEATHERLIGHT

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

The opening bars of "What's My Age Again" crescendo through the house speakers, as Biff appears on the ramp with his brothers Noah and Kenny on either side of him. A large, goofy grin crosses Biff's face and they all start down the ramp,once they enter the aisle Biff begins slapping fives.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing in at 187 pounds, BIFF RIBOFLAVIN!

Once he reaches the ring he walks up the ring steps, trips on his untied bootlace and falls flat on his face. His brothers help him up, and he gets in the ring and waits for his opponent.

Pence Weatherlight Vs Biff Riboflavin


The match begins with both circling each other in the ring and then Biff lifts one hand in the air, looking to challenge Pence in a test of strength. Pence brings his hand up and then Biff drops his hand and puts up his other. Pence lowers his hand and brings up his other and then Biff drops his hand and puts up his other. They go back and forth doing this and the fans are laughing and Pence boots Biff in the mid section and then throws him into the ropes, taking him down with a running clothesline. Biff gets up and Pence grabs him and throws him to the corner. Pence runs and catches Biff with a forearm shot to the face and then pulls him out of the corner and gives him a snap suplex. Pence covers Biff

Chase: Well Biff is James Chambers protégé, so anything could happen.

Pence picks Biff up and chops him. Pence then throws Biff into the ropes. Biff comes back and Pence goes for a clothesline, but Biff ducks it and stops. Pence turns around and Biff puts his hands out for Pence to stop for a second. Pence looks confused and Biff points to the rafters. Pence looks up and Biff stomps on Pence foot. Pence goes for a clothesline again and again Biff ducks it. Biff runs to the ropes and does a handspring into the ropes and comes back, nailing Pence with a back elbow. Pence get up and goes to the corner. Biff runs at him, jumps on Pence and flips him out of the corner with a monkey flip. Pence lands on his ass and slowly gets up with Biff here and rolls him up in a school boy pin

Winner: Biff Riboflavin

Harvey: I can’t believe it, Biff won

Chase: Not a bad way to begin your career in APW

Biff can’t believe he’s won and Biff gets out of the ring and begins celebrating with his brothers, Noah and Kenny.

We quickly cut to Level One's thoughts on the match

Level-One's: I really thought we'd see Level-One Vs. Pence Weatherlight, again. It's unfortunate, he still can't hold his end of the bargain up, losing to a relative nobody in Biff Riboflavin. Still, I must pay my respects to the new guy for showing up a former APW world champion—it's only a matter of time before Sally Talfourd follows similar footsteps, folks. Rumor has it, that this Biff Riboflavin is a friend of James Chambers—if this guy is the new number one contender to my title Jimmy better have the curtsy to let him know this isn't the world heavyweight title... he's dealing with an undisputed champion. Though, I reckon he's probably to stupid to tell the difference. Best of luck, flavin...

We cut back to the ring and Biff heads up the ramp and as Biff disappears backstage Pence stays in the middle of the ring, he is on one knee and is breathing heavily, a look of utter surprise is on his face, and clearly he doesn't understand how he lost that one. He gets to his feet and staggers a bit, he looks down at the mat as the fans boo him, and he looks shaken.

Harvey: I can't believe these fans, Pence fought his heart out here.

Chase: Just another day in Pence's life. Good thing his fans can always switch over to supporting Level One.

The ref walks over to him asking him if he needs help leaving the ring and Pence shakes his head. The ref nods his head and goes to leave the ring, but Pence grabs his arm, and says something that the crowd and the announcement team can't hear. The ref nods his head and then says something back, Pence nods his head, and the ref goes to ring side to grab a microphone. The ref slides it in to Pence who grabs it weakly and listens to the crowd who are chanting "Pence go home." He doesn't say a word as he looks down in shame again as he puts the microphone to his side.

Harvey: The least they could do is let him speak.

Chase: Why? So he can just make more shallow promises and go south with them? No, he deserves this.

The fans continue to chant until it dies down to a dull roar and then Pence brings the microphone to his lips to begin to speak.

Pence: Once again...I have received the beating of a life time and once again I find myself out here looking at the mat in shame and anger. It seems all I'm good for now is losing and then losing some more...and with each loss I dig myself deeper and deeper into a hole that there will be no climbing out of. At this point in my career, I have reached my limitations...I am out of breath from wrestling some mentally handicapped kid who believes he is talented and deserving. A year ago I would have been beating the shit out of that guy...I would have taken him out back and wooped his ass, but...but...those days are gone. I had hoped the New Year would have taken me to new heights instead of new lows, but it seems that fate has a weird way of working against me. It has taken me from being the legitimate Main Eventer that I once was and has dropped me in the middle of no-man's land where the fuckers of Dangertainment and the dicks of the Red Shield Mafia seemingly run around and frolic in their pure ignorance."

The fans boo as Pence's frown deepens and he keeps going.

Pence: I have fell so far and it is because I fell from grace...that I fell from being the best of the best to being the worst of the worst...that I know what I am truly missing out on. You see, the Red Shield and Dangertainment can live down here because they don't understand what it is to be some one...I do, however. And it is why I didn't leave the ring, it is why I'm still standing here, getting booed, and getting yelled at because of my performance. I don't want to do it anymore.

The arena goes quiet and the announcement team's eyes go wide as they look at each other.

Harvey: Did he just say...

Pence: I'm done with it...if I can't flip the switch anymore then there is no reason to prolong the inevitable, there is no reason to continue to shit on the fan's dreams, and that is why I am going into retirement...real retirement.

The fans don't like this and begin to try to put the Reaper on their shoulders by bolstering his spirit with a few chants. Pence, however, is no where near receptive of the chants.

Pence: I fooled myself into believing that I could be a champion again...hell everything that I have done since I got back is lose. I was some one back in the day, I was the guy everyone could depend on. Hell, I was Mr. Main Event. I was guaranteed gold no matter how people turned it. I contributed blood, sweat, and tears and in the end all it did was shorten my career. To be honest, I'm old...older than a lot of you guys think...older than a lot of the people in the back watching me say this right now. My age has clearly caught up with me and there is nothing I can do about that. So...with that, it all ends now. I'm not going to drag it out any longer, I'm just going to go in the back, and sign my papers and disappear like a bad dream from one of your heads.

As Pence begins to leave the ring, the fans have seemingly made a 360, and are chanting "Pence don't go." As Pence reaches the beginning of the ramp from ring-side when "Raining Blood" by Slayer begins to play over the loud speakers. The fans cheer loudly as President Jeff steps out on to the entrance ramp. He looks around at the fans one time before looking down on Pence who is staring straight ahead.

President Jeff: So let me get this straight...you are retiring?

Pence speaks into his microphone and replies.

Pence: I have no other choice, boss. I just don't have it in me to compete any longer.

Jeff shakes his head.

President Jeff: There are plenty of choices and I will be damned if I let you retire on my watch. So let me offer you an alternative...take a vacation and cool your head. Relax, drink a few beers, and let all the tension out. What do you say, Pence? Hell! You can be on vacation for as long as you like, just as long as you promise to return to APW in some way, shape, or form in the future...how does that sound?

Chase: I can barely get a Christmas bonus and Pence gets to go on vacation for as long as he wants! This is complete and utter crap!

Pence ponders this for a bit and then shrugs his shoulders.

Pence: I guess I can humor you, Jeff. However, I don't think I will be coming back.

President Jeff: Are you kidding me? Pence, you couldn't stay away from APW if you wanted to.

The fans cheer as Pence chuckles a bit and Jeff grins widely, but then snaps his fingers and rubs his goatee.

President Jeff: However, this is going to leave a large gap in our roster. I had big plans for you at Mayhem if you could shape yourself up, but now with you on vacation...I don't know what I will do, but I'm sure I will think of...

The action-o-tron comes to life behind Jeff as a door appears on the screen, the door shakes, and then explodes open as "Wasting Time" by Red plays over the loud speakers. On the screen now is one name, a name that the fans are quite familiar with:

Matt Weatherlight

The fans are cheering as the young son of Pence steps out on to the entrance ramp with street clothes on, Jeff nods his head, and Pence smiles broadly and proudly at his boy. Matt lets a few seconds go by before speaking over his microphone as his intro theme dies down.

Matt: Did someone say hole in the roster? Well say no more, I can fill that hole for a while, maybe even permanently if my dad decides to stay on "vacation". What do you say, Jeff? Can you lift this ban from Overdrive that was placed on me by myself so long ago?

Jeff ponders for a few seconds before nodding.

President Jeff: Sure! What do I got to lose?

Matt: Good! Then it is settled, until you return dad...I will take over and show APW what a Weatherlight can do!

The fans cheer as Matt's grin widens and his theme music begins to play again.

Harvey: Great management by Jeff! Matt has returned to APW, who knows what this young second generation superstar is capable of.

Chase: Just when we get rid of one, the other Weatherlight comes back...great.

Overdrive goes to commercial with Pence and Matt still in father and son embrace.

[President Jeff]

APW Overdrive cuts backstage, where Cindy Shannon is standing in the interview area.

Cindy: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time the APW Overdrive Champion, Biggs.

The fans can be heard booing from the arena as Biggs steps into frame, dressed in his ring gear, complete with his fancy ring jacket with blue feathers on the shoulders, and his signature shades. He has the Overdrive Championship belt clasped around his waist. The Overdrive Champ has a smug look on his face as Cindy asks him her first question.

Cindy: Biggs, at RassleMania, you beat the odds by successfully defending the APW Overdrive Championship against four other men in the Overdrive Championship Scramble Match. My question is, where do you go from there?

Biggs: I'll tell you what, Cindy, in a perfect world, I'd go right onto my next title defense right here tonight! After all, I am the fightingest Overdrive Champion in the history of APW! But I guess President Jeff thought I needed a bit of a break after defeating the likes of Ryan Ruckus, Terry Marvin, AJ King, and Chris Cyrus at RassleMania! I guess he thought I needed a break after beating the Contourage at their own game, picking my spot and doing whatever I had to to ensure I left Berkeley still Overdrive Champion! The fact of the matter is that nobody expected me to walk out of RassleMania as Overdrive Champion! Everybody thought it was a sure thing that one of the members of the Contourage would end up with my title! Even with Ryan Ruckus, Terry Marvin, and AJ King joining forces as The Contourage, they couldn't pull it together long enough to relieve me of this title. And Chris Cyrus, don't even get me started on how pathetic he is! When people talk about how great the Axis of Awesome was, all the talk is about how great I was in that team. And I proved I was the better of the two of us when I pinned Chris Cyrus for the final and deciding fall in the Scramble Match! Nobody saw that one coming, did they? Quite simply put, I proved everyone wrong, I went against their expectations, and left as I entered, the greatest APW Overdrive Champion of all time!

Biggs flashes his trademark smirk before continuing on.

Biggs: It makes sense, though, as to why President Jeff left me off the card tonight. The fact of the matter is that after defeating four other men in such a convincing fashion, he's not really sure who he can put up against me. At least he's not sure who could even try to challenge me. I completely understand why Jeff doesn't' want to keep feeding me opponents, because quite frankly, he doesn't want me to keep making the rest of the roster look bad! Every person I've fought this year, I've defeated! And while my shoulders may have been pinned to the mat during the Scramble Match, the bottom line is that I got the pin when it mattered the most, rendering all those theoretical defeats a moot point. The fact is that I am as good as I say that I am, and that is out of this world...

Biggs chuckles a bit as Cindy pulls the mic back to ask another question.

Cindy: Now Biggs, earlier tonight, we heard Khaos talk about how he wants to challenge you for the Overdrive Championship! What are your thoughts on this?

Biggs: I say let him! Khaos, if there's one thing I've shown ever since becoming APW Overdrive Champion for the record third time, it's that I don't back down from a fight! If you want a shot at my belt, you've got it! Just realize what you're signing up for when you ask for a match with me, Khaos. What you're signing up for is a public humiliation the likes of which you've never been on the receiving end of! Sure, you may have had an impressive showing in the inter-brand Battle Royal at RassleMania, but lets face it, sending somebody over the top rope is a lot easier than pinning their shoulders to the mat for the one, two, three, let alone when they are an athlete of my caliber. You may have the size and strength advantage over me, Khaos, heck, you may even be tougher, but the bottom line is that I am a better wrestler than you are. And since this is Action Packed Wrestling, that matters a lot more than some people may think. The fact is, Khaos, that any advantage you think you may have is negated simply by me being as awesome of a wrestler as I am! I'm not intimidated by anybody, least of all, you! So go ahead, Khaos, take your best shot at me! Just remember that when I bring you Crashing Down to Earth, you asked for it...

Biggs flashes his trademark smirk once more, and then walks off camera, leaving Cindy standing there. It takes her a moment to stop looking like a deer in headlights before she talks.

Cindy: Well there you have it, folks. Biggs has offered Khaos a shot at the APW Overdrive Championship! Let's send it back to Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase at ringside!


Blue and yellow lights starts to spin as a countdown from ten to one as it hits one pyros begins to flare as The Night by Disturbed begins to play. Matt and James Ward begin to make their way down to the ring. Matt taunts the fans as they go nuts as both men make their way up the ring stairs into the ring. James now takes the opportunity to taunt the fans as pyros erupt behind them

Nicky Paige: Introducing first weighting in at a combined four hundred and eighty-nine pounds from the Second City of Chicago, Illinois. Matt and James the Psych Ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few weak boos begin to filter down from the stands and the brothers Ward seem to be energized by them as they lightly stretch awaiting the arrival of their opponents.

Forever by Drake begins to play as Young Mannie, J.R. Kingston and “The Manager of Champions” Damien Walker step into the Gorilla position. Golden pyro begins to fall from the video screen like rain as the three men walk through Kingston with a bandanna tied around his head covering all but his eyes, Young Mannie with a Black & Mild over his ear and Damien Walker blowing his whistle like a man possessed. Young Mannie pulls out a lighter and fires up the Black & Mild puffing smoke into the air while Kingston walks along brushing fans with bucking/middle fingers! Damien Walker paces along up the middle of the aisle getting into the cameraman’s face talking trash about what his team is going to do to the Psych Ward and blowing his whistle as if he’s had some sort of break from reality. The trio climbs into the ring and J.R. Kingston pulls off his bandanna and begins to shadow box around the ring while his partner stands in the corner smoking his blunt and waiting for the action to begin.

Nicky Paige: There opponents weighting in at a combined four hundred and fifty pounds representing The Red Shield Mafia and managed by Damien Walker they are Young Mannie and J.R. Kingston!!!!!!!!

The fans shower The Red Shield Mafia in cheers as they are obviously the favorite between the two heel teams. The crowd reaction doesn’t seem to affect the two men as they discuss which man will begin the contest finally settling on J.R. Kingston. On the opposite side of the squared circle newcomer James Ward decides to start of the match and Matt climbs onto the apron as the referee calls for the bell.

Matt & James Ward Vs Young Mannie and JR Kingston


The two grapplers begin to circle, sizing up each other and looking for a chink in the other man’s defense. Finally they lock up in a classic collar and elbow tie up. They jockey for position until finally J.R. Kingston uses his low center of gravity to gain the advantage and driver the elder Ward brother back first into the neutral corner. “The King Pen” then reaches back and begins firing machine gun like knife edge chops at the chest of Ward. The crowd attempts to keep up with the chops with a chant of “Woo” until they absurdly sound a bit like a police siren. Never one to make a farce of competition Kingston decided to take a chance and end the match early with his brutal spinning back fist, but Ward has the move well scouted and easily ducks out of the way and connects with a spinning heel kick to the ribs of his opponent. Kingston doubles over from the impact of the kick and Ward seizes the opportunity to spring off the middle rope and drive Kingston’s face into the canvas with a perfectly executed Spring Board Bulldog. James then does a front roll and tags in his little brother the ex-Xtreme Champion Matt Ward.

Chase: James Ward is coming out with something to prove tonight.

Harvey: He wants to show all the APW fans that he is just as good as his little brother.

Matt leaps over the top rope and stands waiting for J.R. Kingston to come around and begin climbing to his feet. Once the former UFC fighter is on all fours Ward takes off at a sprint leaping off of The Red Shield Mafia Members back, driving Kingston face first into the mat, on his way to the middle rope which he uses as a sling shot to add impact to a sickening leg drop to the back of “The King Pen’s” skull. Matt Ward then rolls Kingston over and hooks his leg and making the cover.

No! Damien Walker is Johnny on the spot and drapes Kingston’s leg over the bottom rope to break the count.

Chase: Damien Walker just stole the match from the Ward Brothers.

Harvey: That is why he is out there every night. Damien Walker is the best manager in the business which means that he will help them win matches and keep them from losing matches. I mean Nero all ready has the Xtreme Championship and Kingston and Young Mannie are well on there way towards tag team gold.

James Ward climbs into the ring and begins to scream at the referee, but having none of it the referee gets right back in his face. Matt turns to aid his brother in the argument but seeing an opportunity the scarecrow looking Damien Walker reaches up and grabs a hold of Ward’s ankle like a rabid Chihuahua. “The Chosen One” tries desperately to break free from the grip of Damien Walker, but he receives a Superkick from Young Mannie for his efforts. Matt Ward’s eyes roll back in his skull before his body even hits the canvas and it is obvious that he has been KOd by the kick. Smartly Young Mannie drags J.R. Kingston towards their corner before climbing back to the apron. On the outside DW begins tooting away at his whistle until the referee finally turns around to see Ward knocked out and Kingston reaching up to tag in the fresh Young Mannie.

Chase: Again Walker is getting involved in this contest. How can anyone get a fair match against The Red Shield Mafia?

Harvey: When you sign a contract to face any one of the RSM guys you have to know Damien is going to be involved. He’s a part of the package and you have to prepare for it.

Mannie jumps to the top rope before coming down on the back of Matt Ward with a brutal double foot stomp. He comes off of Ward with a little strut to show off how much swagger he has before pointing at James Ward to get the Windy City natives attention and back hand springing across the ring just because he can. Mannie then sprints across the ring looking to ricochet off of the ropes to gain momentum, but instead he receives a desperation knee to the back from James Ward. The RSM member stumbles away from the ropes grabbing at his back and turns around just in time to see James Ward slingshot over the top rope and nail him in the face with a flying forearm. The stiff blow enough to get Mr. 420 off of his feet with a trickle of blood coming from his nose, but it was also enough to set off a somewhat revived J.R. Kingston who charges across the ring looking to behead the eldest ward with a vicious lariat. The wild lariat attempt goes wide of its intended target and James Ward fires back with a kick to the gut followed by his devastating finisher known as the Black Out (Twist of Hate). James Ward makes the cover and the referee drops to the mat to make the count.

The referee calls for the bell and raises the arm of an obviously excited James Ward, but Damien Walker has something to say about the decision. He grabs a microphone from the table in front of Nicky Paige and jumps into the ring waiving his arms like a mad man to get the referee’s attention.

DW: You have to restart the match!

The referee looks at the wild man as if he’d just fallen from the sky.

DW: You have to restart the match because neither one of these men were legal baby! Check the replay! Check the replay you’ll see Matt Ward and Young Mannie were legal. He pinned the wrong man!

A sheepish looking referee leans down and whispers in the ear of ring announcer Nicky Paige. She nods and taking her microphone back from Damien Walker makes an announcement.

Nicky Paige: Ladies and gentlemen the referee has restarted the contest do to the non-legal man being pinned. Thank you.

Chase: I have never seen anything like this in all of my years as an announcer.

Harvey: I told you that Walker will win you matches just like he will keep you from losing them.

The crowd lets out a little cheer as they are being treated to bonus wrestling and the bell rings restarting the match. Angry at looking like a fool the official then emphatically kicks Kingston and James Ward out of the ring to allow things to be settled between the legal Young Mannie and Matt Ward. Mr. 420 is the first to get back to his feet and he wipes blood from his top lip with a look that clearly says that someone is about to die. A few feet away Matt Ward begins to stand and before he can even get a grasp on where he is Mannie charges across the canvas like a bull and sends him flying head over heels to the floor with a nasty lariat. Somehow Ward manages to land on his feet, but it turns out to be a bad break as Manny walks to the other side of the squared circle before taking off at a run and nailing an Awesome Dive that send Matt crashing spine first into the steel railing before finally coming to a stop on the floor.

Chase: What an athletic move from Young Mannie.

Harvey: That is why he’s one of the best in the business.

Inside of the ring J.R. Kingston steps between the ropes with intentions of going after James Ward. Screaming expletives and throwing one finger salutes he has bad intentions in mind. Never one to back down from a challenge Ward enters the ring going after Kingston forcing the referee to step between the two big Brahma bulls. On the floor the ever opportunistic Damien Walker grabs a chair from the corner of the arena and tosses it to Young Mannie. Patiently Mannie waits for a wobbly Matt Ward to climb back to his feet and as soon as he is standing he throws the chair at “The Chosen One”. Out of instinct Ward catches the slab of steel and then pays the price when Mannie superkicks the chair into his face. The sickening sound of metal colliding with flesh echoes through the arena and blood begins to flow from a gash over Matt’s eye as he lies on the foam rubber covered floor dazed and confused.

Chase: Can the Red Shield Mafia not cheat?

Harvey: It’s only cheating if you get caught and besides it happened outside of the ring so it doesn’t count.

Back in the squared circle the official finally succeeds in separating Kingston and James Ward and the two men retreat to their corners. Young Mannie picks Matt Ward up by his hair and throws him into the ring before rolling in behind him and tagging Kingston. J.R. enters the fray and lifts the nearly unconscious “Chosen One” up onto his shoulders as if for an electric chair drop while Mannie climbs to the top turnbuckle. Kingston turns as Mr. 420 leaps and drives his knees into the back of Matt Ward as J.R. falls back executing the Red Alert! finisher. Mannie rolls out from under and stands between James and his downed brother as Kingston makes the cover.

Nicky Paige: Your winners Young Mannie and J.R. Kingston. The Red Shield Mafia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mafia celebrate their victory as we go backstage for Level One's thoughts.

Level One: Oh, so I get it. Put two brothers in a ring who are related and look alike, again two black males who well... look alike. I see what you bookers are up too and I can't imagine James Chambers is too happy right about now, either. Regardless, this was a good match I guess... for the tag team division and all. If it means I have to take on two competitors and once to further convince the naysayers I am truly the best, then so be it. The era of whiny champions are done, folks.

We go to commercial

[President Jeff]

The feed cuts to backstage where Matt and Cindy are standing in one of the man hallways backstage. Matt looks to be enjoying himself as Cindy begins to give her normal opening speel.

Cindy Shannon: Cindy Shannon here with APW's only second generation APW wrestler in Matt Weatherlight...

Upon saying his name all of the fans in the arena light up and Matt chuckles a bit as Cindy continues.

Cindy Shannon: Tell me, Matt...what does it feel like to be back in APW and to also have so many expectations thrown on you at the get go?

Matt: Well, to answer your first question...it feels great to be back in APW. It is like I never left here and I know for a fact that I have so much I need to repent for and that I have a long way to go from where I am starting and that is basically at the bottom. As far as all of the expectations the fans have for me...well...we all know that I will try my best to live up to them even if it means I will be hurting for a few nights afterwards I want them to know that I'm going to give it all and fight like every match is my last.

Cindy: Do you know when you will be brought back into action?

Matt: Well, Jeff and I have been discussing that and we have decided that it would be best if I started immediatly, after all I have a lot of ring rust to shake, and the best way to shake ring rust off is by fighting against strong opponents. So, most likely next Overdrive you will see me in the ring doing what I do best.

Cindy: One final question...do you think you will be chasing after a title at Mayhem?

Matt lets out a small laugh and then speaks up.

Matt: I'm not ready for a title match, Cindy. I'm still very rough around the edges and am not truly a complete wrestler, not yet anyway, but I'm going to be working with my father and my old mentor, Madok Mortalis, to make my game complete...so I assume in a matter of a month or two I will be on the right track to be a champion, but until then...consider me a work in progress looking to just make a splash.

Cindy: Well thanks for your time, Matt.

Matt: Any time, Cindy.

The scene cuts back to ring-side as another match gets ready to air.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

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.#

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 ramp way 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: Making her way to the ring first, weighing in at 157 pounds, from Tucson, Arizona, she is one half of the APW Tag Team Champions, Kaycee Young!

Harvey: Kaycee Young is coming off of a huge win at RassleMania, where her and her husband successfully defended the Tag Team Titles in a Ladder Match!

Chase: Normally, I'd make a comment bringing up the fact that she might not be 100% after a match like that, but truth be told, her opponent here tonight had it much worse in his match at RassleMania!

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.

"Survival of the Sickest" by Saliva plays. After a few seconds, Knuckles walks out and stares at the crowd. He grins, shakes his head and storms down to the ring.

Paige: And her opponent, weighing in at 265 pounds, from the Bronx, New York, Johnny Knuckles!

Harvey: Knuckles is coming off of an absolutely brutal Hardcore in Hell match with Branden Harvey at RassleMania! He looks to keep his momentum going!

Chase: That'll be a tall task against one half of the tag champs!

Once in 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. Before the ref can call for the bell, Kaycee runs right up to Knuckles and gives him a swift kick right to the nuts! The ref admonishes Kaycee, while the fans cheer for the cheap shot.

Harvey: Kaycee's none to happy about the way Knuckles talked about her this past week!

Chase: What a cheap shot artist! This is bogus!

Harvey: Please. You'd be bringing up the fact that the ref hasn't called for the bell yet if the tables were turned!

Chase: But they wouldn't be, because Kaycee doesn't have anything for Knuckles to turn the tables on in the same way!

The ref checks on Knuckles, asking him if he still wants to fight. Knuckles is laying on the mat in a fetal position, with his hands protecting the family jewels. He nods his head, and makes his way back up to his feet, breathing heavily as the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Kaycee Young vs. Johnny Knuckles

[/u]

Kaycee rushes right in, catching Knuckles with a Hurricanrana! As he gets back up to his feet, she quickly whips him into the ropes, taking him over with an Armdrag into a Armbar submission! She has the move cinched in tight, with her hand placed on Knuckles' shoulder, pushing the arm up to get maximum torque!

Harvey: The last time these two we're in the ring, Kaycee made Knuckles Tap Out!

Chase: I don't know how someone as small as Kaycee and make someone bigger than her submit.

Harvey: Its not about size and strength, its about leverage! If you have the superior position, and are able to apply the right amount of pressure, it doesn't matter how strong your opponent is, if they try and break out, they risk pushing the pressure past the breaking point to where they can get seriously injured!

Chase: That makes sense, actually...

Knuckles is gritting his teeth, while the ref asks him if he gives up. Knuckles yells “NO!” while Kaycee continues to apply pressure to his shoulder socket and elbow joint. Brandon is cheering his wife on from the outside, and leads the crowd in starting a “KAYCEE! KAYCEE!” chant! Knuckles tries to take a swipe at Kaycee with his free arm, but she's just out of reach! Knuckles continues to grit his teeth, and begins to stomp his foot, trying to psych himself up for an attempt to break the hold. As he tries to rise up a bit, it increases the torque on the hold, and he cries out in pain while he sits back down to relieve the pressure ever so slightly. Kaycee has a determined look on her face, and is intent on making Knuckles tap out. She has the move in just about as perfectly as possible, but Knuckles is showing no signs of quitting. She keeps the hold on, yelling at Knuckles to Tap Out, to which he responds by calling her an obscene name not fit for decent conversation! This gets Kaycee absolutely pissed off, and she lets go of the hold, getting up and giving Knuckles the hardest kick she can to the back of the head, causing him to fall forward! She then mounts his back, and unloads a vicious series of rights and lefts to the back of his head, while he tries to get his hands up to defend himself!

Harvey: We normally don't see this kind of fight out of Kaycee! It looks like she wants to knock Knuckles out!

Chase: Now that's just silly! I can accept the leverage thing, but for a gal her size, knocking out a man like Knuckles would take such an unusual amount of circumstances that it's just not feasible!

The fans are going wild for Kaycee's signs of aggression, while Brandon continues to clap for her at ringside! As she's teeing off on Knuckles, Ryan Ruckus, AJ King, and Terry Marvin, The Contourage, come from out of the crowd, and all three swarm Brandon Young! Kaycee looks up to see the pack of thieves assaulting her husband, and she dismounts Knuckles, and begins to run towards the ropes nearest the attack! As she's running, Knuckles swats her legs, tripping her up, and causing her to fall face first into the ropes! Knuckles then makes his way back up to his feet, and pulls Kaycee up off the ropes, yelling out “HEE HAW!” as he gives her a hard Donkey Punch to the back of the head!

Harvey: Somebody has got to come out and take care of the Contourage! This is ridiculous!

Knuckles pulls Kaycee back up by the hairs, lifts her up onto his shoulders, and delivers the Broken Promise Reverse DVD, spiking her head into the mat! He hooks both legs, and the ref makes the count, 1
.

Kaycee barely gets her foot on the rope! The fans come alive as Knuckles gets pissed and pulls Kaycee away from the ropes, mounting her and unloading with a series of rights and lefts right the face! Kaycee reaches up and gives him a rake across the eyes, and the ref yells at her while she shoves Knuckles back! Both of them get to their feet and begin to go at it, trading blows fast and furious! Knuckles and Kaycee fight their way to the ropes, and the ref tries to break them up, but both of them shove him down to the mat! The ref immediately calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

No Contest[/center]

Paige: The referee has ruled this match No Contest!

Harvey: Kaycee Young and Johnny Knuckles just keep going at it! There's no way the ref's going to be able to break them up!

Chase: You'd think Kaycee would be more concerned about her husband getting beat down at ringside...

Kaycee and Knuckles heed no attention to the bell, and are continuing to go at it like cats and dogs. The Contourage then disengages from Brandon Young, leaving him laying motionless on the floor! Ruckus, Marvin, and King all slide in beneath the ropes, and pull Kaycee off of Knuckles before laying into her as well! As Knuckles tries to intercede and get back at Kaycee, Ruckus tells him to just walk away before turning back around and decking Kaycee with a straight punch to the face! The Contourage continues to stomp Kaycee while Knuckles just grits his teeth, collects his things, and exits the ring. By this point, Road Agents and referees rush down the ramp to try and restore order in the ring, while The Contourage continues to beat down on Kaycee!

We then cut backstage again for Level One's thoughts on the match

Level One: It's a shame this match ended in a no contest but just goes to show you how ''dominate'' Kaycee Young really is when she doesn't have her boyfriend holding her hand. If it's any constellation, a suggestive photo that hit the internet was infact not the goods of Kaycee Young, nor wishful thinking. If you'd like to know, the suggestive photo was identified as to belonging to none other then Missus Lively! I reckon it won't be nominated into the hall of fame anytime soon...

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is your main event match of the evening

“Rise To It" by Kiss begins to play and the fans begin to cheer in anticipation of what is to come. After a few moments, Blade and C.J. Gates come out from the back . They are both wearing "The Exchange Rate" T-shirts with their slogans on the back, and Gates is also wearing his cowboy hat.

Paige: Introducing first, CJ Gates…Blade…..They are….THE EXCHANGE RATE!!

They pause for a moment at the top of the ramp, soaking up the cheers, before bumping fists and making their way down to the ring, tagging hands with fans along the ramp. The two men climb into the ring. They each climb a turnbuckle and raise their arms to cheers from the crowd before climbing down. Gates removes his hat and the two of them remove their shirts as they await their opponents.

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 their opponents, introducing first, TERRY MARVIN

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

Paige: And his partner, he is A….J….KING!

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

Blade walks away and exit’s the ring leaving CJ out in the ring as the ref checks in on him and we cut backstage for Level One's thoughts

Level-One: Well, it was a decent main-event. I'm impressed as to what I saw but then again, tag team wrestling—is tag team wrestling, we're not even in the same division here. Still, you all put on a show for the fans and I commend you for that... on a side note, I just burnt my tongue on a slice of pizza. President Jeff is going to shit a brick when he finds out, he's paying for it... all 360 boxes (Sally Talfourd eats like a pig...) feel free to join us after the show! For now though, we have some business to take care of. We have our number one contender...

Level-One gets up off a sofa and walks away from the camera in the background we can hear President Jeff screaming the words, ''HE DID WHAT!?''

we go to our final commercial

[President Jeff]

''Alive'' by POD blasts the PA system as Level-One steps out behind the curtain with the APW world championship high above his head. He smiles as he observes the positive reaction from the crowd and begins to make his way down the ramp. He slaps a few fans hand even taking the time to throw the APW world title around a women's shoulder and takes a picture with her in the process before making his way down towards the ring.

Harvey: You know apart of me still doesn't trust this guy!

Chase: You're just one of his few dedicated haters, Harvey. This man is the greatest competitor to have ever stepped foot in a APW ring and we saw that at Rasslemania when he beat Sally Talfourd! And now I am famous bi--

Expletive removed!

The champion grabs a microphone from ringside and enters the ring. He straps the APW title around the top rope before standing on top of them, creatively aligning the APW world championship with his groin as he utters the words...

Level-One: ''I'm the man!''

Harvey: So, you're not allowed to swear but Level-One is allowed to make blanketed references to his penis size. Do you find that fair?

Chase: Absolutely! As great as I am, Level-One is greater. Rules are only meant to be applied and followed by the common man, Harvey.

Level-One laughs as he unstraps the title from the top rope and stumbles into the middle of the ring, tossing the APW world title onto his shoulders before addressing the action packed crowd, many of them bowing to the future hall of famer out of respect.

Level-One: ''Thank you! Thank you all for the support. Honestly, I don't think I could have made it out with this APW world championship, without it. You see, you people really showed me what this business is about. You showed me that I don't need to cheat, lie—or even steal to win! Sure, you can get away with it but for only so long and Sally Talfourd found that out the hard way, at Rasslemania seven!''

''APW, APW, APW'' chants begin.

Level-One: ''As great as my match was with Sally Talfourd it is the only the first chapter in a long story, I plan to write directly into the books of the hall of fame. This is the first day of the rest of my life. Rasslemania seven is nothing more then an intro for Rasslemania eight! Some call it cockiness but I call it confidence when I say, I will be the greatest APW champion in the history of the promotion and I have no problem defending this claim against any challenger whom you fans feel deserves it...''

Level-One says and points at the ramp.

''Defending this title won't be a easy task as evidenced by some of the matches we saw here tonight, where viable contenders were all over the card! So, I talked with Jeff during the show and we came up with a name. A man who....''

...before he can finish he's interrupted as ''I hope you die'' by bloodhound gang blasts the stereo and Ryan Ruckus steps out with a microphone in hand. He's immediately booed from the crowd as Level-One watches on, unimpressed. Oddly enough, Ryan Ruckus lifts a hand trying to get everyone to bare with him as his music dies out.

Ryan Ruckus: ''A man who can push you to your limits and give you a match the internet smarks are going to be ranting about in chatrooms for years to come? Level, that's me! That's us! You know we both were bound to headline main-events and pay-per-views, together...''

Level-One responds with a grin ear to ear as he leans against the ropes.

Level-One: ''You know while most would call what you just did a douche bag interruption, I see it as you finishing of my statement for me. Ryan, you were just the man I was looking for. You were just the man, I was going to call out, backstage and down to the ring because while you may have technically lost your match tonight, it was done all because you couldn't keep your little unruly gang under control. Now, what champion would I be to see you waste yet another opportunity to make yourself a star here in the APW?''

Level-One says as he steps through the ropes and hops off the apron onto the ring floor.

Ryan Ruckus: ''Look, Level; I'm not here to cause any trouble. At Rasslemania, you showed me and the entire world what it is to change your ways and what it can do for both you as a person and for your career. We both want the same things. We always have and we always will. Me and you? We aren't much different. If you can change, I can change. You're an inspiration to us all...''

Level-One stops in his tracks as he looks at Ryan Ruckus standing a top the ramp. It's clear, Ryan Ruckus struck a sensitive nerve with Level-One who nods his head side to side.

Level-One: ''I'm no inspiration, Ryan. I am far from perfect. You don't know me. You never really will... friend. You don't understand how tempting it is to walk up the ramp and smack you across the jawline, right now—not because I hate you, not because you've given me your praise but because it's all I feel like I really know. It's a struggle, a fight... a war everyday, likely for the rest of my life, to stay on the road I am because I can never fully tear down the road to tyranny I once paved. Don't disrespect me by thinking this is easy, nor anything you can bring yourself to do...''

Level-One begins to walk up the ramp towards Ryan Ruckus with his head down.

Ryan Ruckus: ''Come on man. L1 Vs. R2! No bullshit, no cheap shots, no funny business...''

Level-One: ''No contourage?''

Ryan Ruckus: ''No contourage! Just two men, fighting over an APW world championship that truly respect each-other you and I both know this is what this sport needs and we're the guys to do it...''

And before he knows it, he's face to face with Level-One. The crowd are on their feet chanting ''APW'' as the two men square up at the top of the ramp. When suddenly...

Ryan Ruckus offers a hand.

Ryan Ruckus: ''Level-One Vs. Ryan Ruckus! Let's make it official...''

Level-One looks at Ryan Ruckus and goes to extend a hand... but pulls back. The crowd is taken a back by this decision by Level-One who takes several steps back.

Level-One: ''I can't commit to that. I can't promise you that I won't go back to the... old me.''

Level-One pauses, as boos slowly begin to build...

Level-One: I will defend my title against you at Mayhem... but it won't be against Level-One...''

He lifts his head and walks back over to Ryan Ruckus who's confused as to what's happening. Level-One extends a hand which Ryan Ruckus happily shakes.

Level-One: ''I said tonight is a new beginning and I wasn't lying...''

...

Lester ''L1'' Only: ''The name is now Lester Only to you, punk...''

Lester Only jokingly nudges Ryan Ruckus on his shoulder before he walks past him. As Lester walks up the ramp past Ryan Ruckus he looks back at him and Ryan Ruckus smiles, giving him the thumbs up.

Ryan Ruckus: ''See you at Mayhem, Lester...''

''Alive'' by POD hits the PA system as the fans applaud Lester Only on his way out leaving Ryan Ruckus behind observing the reaction from the rabid crowd; knowing that it could one day, be him. The APW logo flashes across the screen as the show comes to a close.
