Overdrive - Perth, Western Australia (04/21/11)

[President Jeff]

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

Harvey: Welcome everyone to Thursday Night Overdrive.

Chase: Tonight we continue our tour of Australia with 7 matches

Harvey: With Mayhem just a month away, I‘m exciting to see what will happen tonight.

Chase: Our main event for tonight, in a non title match, Level One will be taking on Kaycee Young

Harvey: Kaycee is one of the top ranks Megastars at the moment. I can‘t wait to see how well she does against the Undisputed Champion

Chase: Lets not waste anymore time and go to the ring for our opening match

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

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: Introducing first, weighing in at 215 pounds, 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.

The opening chords of MCR's "Na Na Na" begin to play over the PA as clips of random acts of destruction play over the tron in tune to the frenetic pace of the song. Cars crash into each other, planes fall from the sky, ships sink, bombs explode, riots ensue, and more. Just before the lyrics kick in and the song changes tempo, Brandon Young bounces out onto the stage. He is wearing a sleeveless hooded jacket with a flaming sword piercing through the Nextwave Autobot logo, the hood obscuring his face, and black pants with the same design running down the sides, but with "Y O U N G G U N" written down each side, with the G and N of the "GUN" written above and below the U in YOUNG making a cross shape, in fiery gold font.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing in at 220 Pounds, he is one half of the APW Tag Team Champions, 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.

AJ King Vs Brandon Young


As Brandon is on the top rope posting, AJ charges over and nails Brandon from behind before pulling him off the top rope and starts throwing punches and kicks to Brandon in the corner. AJ starts driving his shoulder into the midsection of Brandon and then the ref pulls him out of the corner.

Harvey: AJ not wasting any time here, gaining the early advantage.

Chase: I’m loving this so far. I hope AJ messes up that Pretty Boy.

AJ grabs Brandon in a bear hug and throws him with a belly to belly suplex. AJ goes over for a cover, driving his forearm into Brandon’s face

Winner: Brandon Young

Brandon begins to celebrate his victory

Harvey: AJ King hasn’t been having the best of luck lately

Brandon continues to celebrate as we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up with President Jeff sitting in his office, doing some paper work and then someone knocks on his door.

Jeff: COME ON IN!

The door opens and in walks the APW Tag Team Champions, Beautiful Disaster with their tag team titles over their shoulders.

Jeff: Hey folks. Nice job out there tonight Brandon

Brandon: Thanks Boss

Kaycee: Jeff, we got some great news.

Jeff: Did you switch to Geico and saved 15% or more on Car Insurance?

Kaycee: No, even better. I’M PREGNANT!

Jeff: Oh, Congratulations, both of you. You are the father right Brandon?

Brandon: Indeed I am.

Kaycee: So now that I’m Pregnant, I won’t be able to wrestle Level One in the main event tonight.

Jeff: Well then, that’s puts me in a little bind.

Brandon: Actually Jeff, I feel good after my match with AJ, I’m volunteering to take Kaycee’s spot tonight and face Level One.

Jeff thinks for a second

Jeff: You know what, that’s not a bad idea. If you want it, then you got it Brandon.

Brandon: Perfect

Kaycee: Thank you for understanding boss.

Beautiful Disaster start to walk away and Jeff stops them

Jeff: Just one more thing.

The couple turn

Jeff: Those Tag Team Titles. Now that your Pregnant Kaycee and no long an active wrestler on the APW roster, I have no choice but you have you hand the tag titles over.

Brandon: What? Hold on a second Jeff

Jeff: Sorry, but You guys won the titles as a team, you lose them as a team

Kaycee: Can’t Brandon find another partner to replace me.

Jeff: I’m afraid not. Wouldn’t be fair to everyone else who works their butts off to win a title.

Brandon: Come on Jeff, think about this.

Jeff: I have. For the time being, the Tag Titles will be Vacant. Brandon, if you want the titles back, then find yourself a partner and then you’ll earn back the titles, but until then, you guys are no longer the tag champs.

Jeff puts his hands out waiting for Kaycee and Tim to give Jeff the tag Titles. After hesitation, they do and Storm out of the room. Jeff puts both titles over his shoulder and we cut back to ringside.

Harvey: I can’t believe it, Kaycee Young is Pregnant, can’t compete, thus causing them to vacate the titles

Chase: On the bright side, we’ll get to see Level One kick the snot out of Brandon Young.

Harvey: Let go to the next match.


We go to ringside with Rachel Cole already in the ring.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, RACHEL COLE

Lights Go Dim, The Intro Of Money Making Blueprint Goes Off And Falling Pyro From The Video Screen In front Of The Entrance(Ala Goldberg), As Kingston Go Through The Pyro And Wearing A Bandanna Around His Face Only Showing His Eyes And Brushing Fans, With Bucking/Middle Fingers! Before Sliding In The Ring, Taking His Bandanna Off And Shadowboxing!

Paige: And her opponent, being accompanied by Young Mannie, weighing in at 230 pounds, JR Kingston.

Before the ref can ring the bell, Kingston gets out of the ring. The ref tries to get him to get back in but he shoos the ref away and starts walking to the back.When he's almost all the way up the ramp, Rachel Cole gets out of the ring and follows him. Kingston walks through the curtain. Cole is on the stage. Suddenly, Kingston comes sprinting through the curtain and clotheslines Cole. She lands hard on the stage. Kingston lifts her up on his shoulders and gives her paranoia on the stage. Kingston brings her to her feet and gives her another clothesline on the stage before taking her to the ring.

Harvey: Deplorable actions by JR Kingston.

Chase: What are you talking about? He's using his head.

Harvey: How do you sleep at night, Johnny? How does Kingston sleep at night? What about the RSM? How do they sleep at night?

JR Kingston vs. Rachel Cole


The ref rings the bell to officially get this match underway. Kingston brings Cole to her feet. He whips her off the ropes and throws her in the air for a back body drop on the rebound. But she comes back down with a DDT on Kingston. Kingston gets up and Cole whips him into the corner. She runs toward the turnbuckle and leaps into the air, giving Kingston a hurricanrana into the center of the ring. She stands over him and leaps into the air with a standing moonsault. She hooks the leg.

Winner: Rachel Cole

Cole celebrates begins to celebrate and the ref raises her hand in victory

Harvey: A much needed win for Rachel Cole here tonight

Chase: Look at this, Young Mannie is getting into the ring

Mannie gets in as Rachel gets out. Mannie starts clapping for Kingston, obviously making fun of him for losing. Kingston gets to his feet and then shoves Mannie. The two are about to go into blows as Damian Walker runs out and gets between the two and starts talking some sense into them.

Harvey: First The Exchange Rate break up, and the way things are going, Mannie and Kingston could be next.

Damian calms them down and we go backstage


Backstage

We find ourselves in the back hall of the Perth Entertainment centre, just outside a locker room marked with the colorful placard-



-And from the other side of the door, we hear someone yell-

“You did WHAT?!

A hand comes into fram from the camera’s POV and pushes the door open, to reveal Ryan Ruckus and AJ King, sitting on a locker room bench, talking.

R2: I traded the Contourage bus to Dr. Bunko, in exchange for his help.

AJ rubs his hands across the top of his head in disbelief.

AJ: And that wasn’t the type of thing you thought to discuss with the rest of us?[/b]

Ruckus slides his hands to his knees and takes a deep breath. Leaning back, he stretches and emits a long sigh. Probably remnants of walking all the way home from the Outback.

R2: AJ, who bought the Contourage bus with his Survive and Conquer winnings?[/b]

AJ: You did. [/b]

R2: And who lost his match against Brandon Young? [/b]

AJ: I did. [/b]

R2: So, who should be concentrating on getting better, instead of mourning the loss of a bus he didn’t even have a month ago. [/b]

AJ sighs.

AJ: All I’m saying is… Did you give him Charity too? [/b]

R2: Of course not. –yelling- Hey, Char-[/b]

And Charity peeks out of the shower portion of the locker room. From this angle, bare shoulders and all, she appears to be naked behind the far wall.

CHARITY: Yeah, Ruck?

Ruckus shrugs at AJ, as if to say, “See?”

AJ: Okay, we’re good. [/b]

R2: Good, cause now I’d like to discuss the two of you interjecting in my main event match last week, after I specifically asked you not to. [/b]

AJ shrugs, standing and heading to his locker, to grab a roll of wrist tape.

AJ: -Gotta take THAT up with TMarv. It was his idea. Said we’re trying to make an impact, right? So we did. [/b]

R2: But it’s not just making an impact. It’s making the RIGHT kind of impact. [/b]

AJ: Like I said, take it up with Terry. [/b]

R2: Yeah, I’d do that, but he never seems to be here anymore. [/b]

AJ: He’ll be around. He’s just dealing with some family stuff. [/b]

R2: Alright. When you see him, tell him we’re due for a chat. [/b]

AJ nods and wanders from the locker room, wrapping tape around his left hand as he goes. And Ruckus turns to look toward The Paradigm, who is standing in the back corner of the room, rocking and scratching.

R2: Hey, The Paradigm, you alright?[/b]

PARADIGM: Huh? Oh, yeah. I’m good. Just thinking about your match with CJ.

-Which is a good enough answer for Ruckus, but if you could hear the inside of The Paradigm’s brain, you’d know there’s only one thought repeating over and over.

“From now on, you don’t get paid, unless I win.”

-And we cut to commercial, on the image of The Paradigm scratching at his neck.

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

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

Paige: Introducing first, from Sacramento California, weighing in at 140 pounds, BRANDEN HARVEY

When he reaches the ring, he leaps into the air, springboards 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.

"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.

Paige: And his opponent, from Orlando Florida, Weighing in at 305 pounds, JACOB WHITEHEAD

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. 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.

Branden Harvey Vs Jacob Whitehead


The match begins with Jacob walking towards Branden, backing him into the corner. Branden tries to run past Jacob, but Jacob grabs him and lifts him up, sitting him on the top rope and then hits Branden in the face with a punch, knocking him off the top rope and Branden falls to the outside.

Harvey: What a huge size difference between these two

Chase: Talk about David Vs Goliath.

Jacob steps over the top rope and goes out to the floor, Branden quickly gets up and slides back into the ring. As Jacob is getting up on the ring apron, Branden runs and drop kicks Jacob through the ropes, Knocking Jacob backwards into the ring apron. Branden then gets on the ring apron and goes for an Asai Moonsault and Jacob catches Branden on his shoulder. Jacob runs towards the ring post, and Branden slides off landing behind Jacob and shoves Jacob into the ring post. Jacob stumbles on his feet and Branden hops up on the ring apron and then dives off with a forward flip and the momentum knocks Jacob to the ground. Fans cheer for Branden as he gets back into the ring.

Harvey: This is what Branden needs to do, use his speed to his advantage

Chase: I’m surprised that Branden is holding his own against Jacob

The ref starts counting Jacob out as Liz is checking on Jacob and helping him up. The ref gets to a count of 5 and Jacob his back to his feet and Jacob rolls into the ring. Branden slides in for a cover

Winner: Jacob Whitehead

Jacob’s music begins to play as Liz gets into the ring and they celebrate the victory

Harvey: A much needed win for Jacob this week, after losing to Matt Weatherlight last week

Chase: I hate to be feeling what Branden is feeling right now.

Harvey: A nice effort by Branden I must say.

The cameras follow Jacob Whitehead up the ramp and through the curtain. He is breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his face, but he's got a sick grin on his face from what he just did to Branden Harvey. With his manager in tow, he grabs a towel from a table at the gorilla position, and begins to pat his face down to remove the sweat. Elizabeth is just about to start helping when, from out of the camera's view, a man rushes up on Whitehead, nailing him in the back of the head with a steel pipe. Whitehead hits the ground in front of him immediately, and the figure stands over his unconscious body as Elizabeth howls in fury. She rears back and starts slapping and beating on the cloaked figure, focusing on her right hand with two heavy rings lending weight to her blows. They stagger the cloaked figure for a moment, but he is able to subdue her, wrapping his arms around the flailing woman and lifting her off the ground. Elizabeth kicks and screams, trying to get at his face, but the cloaked figure is able to contain her long enough to handcuff her to the steel support beams holding up the fabric curtain at the gorilla position. As Elizabeth fights to get free, the cloaked figure looks around to make sure that no one is coming before putting stomps on the unconscious body of Jacob Whitehead. The cloaked figure then grabs the feet of the knocked out giant and drags him back to the top of the entrance ramp. Elizabeth's screams still audible. The assailant stomps on the lifeless body of Whitehead a couple more times before dragging Whitehead to his feet, slapping him in the face to wake him up at the same time. Whitehead staggers back and forth as the figure waits for the right shot. The figure hops back and superkicks Whitehead in the chin, sending him tumbling to the ground and down the ramp.

Harvey: Look at what this unknown man has done to the APW giant!

Chase: Who is it, Harv? This guy has balls!

The cloaked figure lurks slowly down the ramp, and grabs up the big man by the head, assisting him to his feet once again. The figure kicks Whitehead in the stomach, doubling him over, before backing up. He sets himself and ensures that Jacob's not going anywhere before charging forward, grabbing Jacob on the way over to deliver a flip piledriver on to the floor at the end of the ramp!

Harvey: Oh my God! Oh my God! The concealed figure just delivered a sick flip piledriver onto the floor! Whitehead could be dead! My God!

Chase: That mat is only about a half an inch thick, there’s nothing under that besides cold, hard concrete! Whitehead could be in serious trouble here!

The figure gets to his feet and stares down at the beaten big guy. After admiring the damage he’s created, the figure decides that they aren’t through yet.

Chase: He’s not done yet, Harv! This could get even worse!

Harvey: Somebody needs to get out here and stop this! Now! Get somebody out here!

Elizabeth's shrieks grow louder as the figure pulls a table out from under the ring and sets it up outside between the ramp and the ring. He then walks over to Whitehead and gets him to his feet, leaning him on the apron of the ring. Whitehead gets a sudden burst of energy and begins to fight back with rights and lefts. The cloaked figure is staggered by the whopping strikes, but before Jacob can get a head of steam, he is stopped by a knee to the gut. After a European uppercut, Whitehead is weak enough to place on the table. With the giant once again lifeless and on the table, the Cloaked figure makes his way into the ring.

Harvey: This is enough! What’s he thinking now?

Chase: This looks bad! Very bad!

The figure darts across the ring and makes his way back with a full head of steam. He leaps onto the ropes with great agility and uses them to dart his way high into the air, delivering a Shooting Star Press onto Jacob Whitehead which breaks the table, and sends both men crashing to the ground below!

Harvey: Holy hell! This could end up being bad for both men!

Chase: This masked man hurt himself too! But who in the hell is he?

Harvey: I don’t know, but we need to find out so he can get his ass suspended! That was taking it way too far!

The figure, holding their ribs, slowly gets to their feet, the slain giant motionless in the rubble. With the crowd in dead silence, they know that the figure is about to reveal his or herself.

Chase: Do it! Do it! Come on show us!

Harvey: On second though, I don’t know if I really want to know.

Chase: I do!

Harvey: He’s sick! Sick! Why would you want to know a man like that?

Chase: I don’t know if I really want to KNOW him, I just want to know who it is!

The figure grabs the hood of the cloak and begins to pull it back, all of the sudden, the lights go out. An eerie, almost dark hymn can be heard playing throughout the arena, as the arena begins to light up lime green and purple. The cloaked man stops taking off the hood and begins to drag Jacob Whitehead into the ring. As he rolls the lifeless body of the giant into the ring, a pentagram begins to lower into the ring, suspended by cables that lead to the top of the ceiling. The figure once again stands over the body of Whitehead as the pentagram stops lowering, right above the head of the cloaked figure.

Chase: Here we go! He’s about to do it! He’s taking it off! Look!

As the figure takes the hood off, the lights go out once again and the music stops immediately.

Chase: Come on now! This is killing me!

The lights come back on all at once, and standing in the ring over the lifeless body of Jason Whitehead is none other than the Enforcer of Sorrow, Nathaniel Havok!

Chase: Oh my God! He’s back! He’s back! Nathaniel Havok is back!

Harvey: I can’t believe this! Shortly before Christmas, he went missing from APW! But why now? Why Whitehead?

Chase: Who cares! Nathaniel Havok is back in APW! This is incredible!

“Nemesis” by Cradle of Filth hits on the PA as Nathaniel stands over Jacob Whitehead with a smirk on his face. Some of the fans are going ballistic with joy over Nathaniel’s return, as other boo in disgust of his actions. The lights go out as “Nemesis” continues to play, but come back on a second later, only to find that Nathaniel Havok has vanished from ringside.

Harvey: Where in the hell did he go?

Chase: Unbelievable! He’s back!

Harvey: Someone still needs to get out here and tend to Whitehead! This looks real bad!

Chase: It looks like Elizabeth finally got free, but it might be too late...

Elizabeth is seen charging down the ramp, quite an impressive feat in high heels, and coming to Jacob's aid. The mountain of a man finally starts stirring, which reassures Liz, but her eyes are full of anger as she glares up into the ring at the pentacle that Havok left behind.

Harvey: You know what they say about a woman scorned...I think Havok is putting himself in a pretty tricky situation.

Chase: Who cares? Havok's back! Destroy Harvey next!

Commercial

[President Jeff]

(The scene opens up inside the locker room of C.J. Gates where we see Gates himself sitting on a steel chair in silence. Complete silence.)

C.J. Gates: You hear that?

(He pauses and smiles, slowly looking around the room.)

C.J. Gates: Silence.

No one rifling through magazines. No one feeling sorry for themselves. No one busting in with sage wisdom. No backstage interviewers hounding me for a few words. Just me on my own, preparing for my match, uninterrupted.

(He nods and sits up straight in the chair.)

C.J. Gates: I told no lies this week. This is when I launch myself forward. This is when my journey really starts takes off, and I really assert myself as a true threat in APW. Some people don't believe that I am capable of it. Some people don't understand that there is more to me than the tag team wrestler I started out as.

Because everyone starts somewhere. And that was where I got my foot in the door in APW.

Now it's all a matter of taking charge and making Ryan Ruckus see that there are other people capable of challenging Uncle Lester.

But of course, I digress.

(Gates stands up from his chair and takes a few steps across the room.)

C.J. Gates: Ryan, your jokes have fallen on deaf ears. Your immaturity and your knack for playing games when it's time for business are not going to give you the edge you hope it will. They are only going to hurt you in the long run. Sure, a laid back attitude helps...but not when the match really means something. Not when the stakes are as high as they are.

Then again, I guess that's more one dimensional since you are entrenched in a title match for Mayhem. Since you have nothing to lose. While me? This match means a lot to me. This match, has the possibility of opening a whole world of opportunities for me.

The only thing standing in my way?

Is one bald headed road block. One cheating, conniving lowlife. One immature man who has never really shown that he means business.

All that stands in my way is you, Ryan.

But it won't stay that way for long.

(Gates reaches the locker room door and opens it but stops and looks back.)

C.J. Gates: I'll see you in the ring.

(He exits the room and closes the door behind him as the scene cuts back to ringside.)


Nicky Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Nashville, Tennessee he stands six feet two inches tall and weights in at two hundred pounds. APW’s only second generation Mega Star Matt Weatherlight!!!!!!!!!

The opening rift from "Wasting Time" by Red plays as the fans get to their feet and watch as Matt Weatherlight emerges from backstage with a smile on his face. Matt is wearing a pair of shades, a neon green and black vest, and a pair of green shorts. He makes his way to the ring slapping hands and pausing to take photos with people and finally reaches the ring where he jumps up on to the apron and looks around the arena for a second before taking his shades off and throwing them into the crowd. He gets into the ring and tests out the ropes before running to one of the turnbuckles and climbing it until he is standing on top, looking at all the fans. He then jumps down and looks over to the entrance ramp as he waits for his opponent to show up.

The super crunchy power chords of Walk by Pantera begins to blast over the arena sound system as the man known as Khaos steps out onto the entrance ramp. He is dressed in a worn out pair of Levi jeans cutoff to make shorts, black knee and elbow pads, a Misfits t-shirt with the sleeves cutoff and wrestling shoes covered by black kick pads. He is carrying a sign that he holds up for the entire world to see:

Biggs Fears Khaos!

Nicky Paige: His opponent Standing six feet four inches tall and weighing in at two hundred and seventy-five pounds. He hails from Hell, Michigan by way of the Jackson State Penitentiary. He is Khaos!!!!!!!!!!!!

Khaos makes his way towards the ring ignoring the cheers and jeers being launched at him by the fans. His focus is on one thing only, the ring and the damage he is about to inflict inside of it. Once he reaches ringside he climbs onto the apron using the steel ring steps and wipes his feet on the apron as a sign of respect for the business before entering the squared circle between the top and middle ropes. Slowly he walks to his corner and leans against the turnbuckles awaiting the sounding of the bell.

Khaos Vs Matt Weatherlight


The referee calls for the bell and the two young Mega Stars begins sizing each other up. The larger Khaos is the first to act raising his hands in the air to challenge Matt to a test of strength. Never one to back down from a challenge Weatherlight nods in acceptance and the two begin to lace fingers. Once the hold is locked in the big man from Hell, Michigan uses the nearly hundred pounds he has on the junior Weatherlight to gain a momentum advantage. The Mastermind begins sinking to his knees and Khaos laughs at the pained expression on the smaller man’s face. The crowd seeing The Natural Born Killer as being nothing more than a bully begins to cheer for the son of a former Undisputed Champion and chant the name Weather-Light! Weather-Light! Cheers for his opponent seems to only stimulate the sadistic side of Khaos as he lifts his knee into the face of Matt Weatherlight repeatedly until a thin trickle of blood begins to the flow from the youngster’s nose.

Harvey: We have only seen brief glimpses into the dark side of Khaos, but nothing like this brutal assault on the face of Matt Weatherlight.

Chase: Well I talked to Khaos backstage just before the show and he is in a bad mood. He thinks Biggs is ducking him and he’s going to take it out on Matt Weatherlight.

Khaos knees Matt one last time before allowing him to collapse to the canvas. The Natural Born Killer than makes a nonchalant cover. The referee drops to the mat to make the count but before he can even count one Khaos pulls Weatherlight’s shoulders up with a smile. The official begins to admonish God’s Perfect Predator for the blatant breach of wrestling decorum when Khaos wraps his giant meat hooks around the throat of The Mastermind, blatantly choking the life out of him, and forcing a count of another kind.

The ex-con breaks the choke before the referee calls for the bell and a psychotic smile crosses his lips as the fans begin to boo him with a vengeance. Khaos stands and walks to the corner and leans against the turnbuckles as a red faced Matt Weatherlight coughs air back into his lungs. The returning Mega Star then slowly crawls his way to the ropes and uses the rubber coated steel cables to climb to his feet. Patiently Khaos watches like a lone wolf about to slay a deer.

Harvey: I do not understand this strategy from Khaos. Yes he is the bigger man and in control of the match, but Matt Weatherlight is very dangerous in the ring.

Chase: I don’t know I think if Matt Weatherlight was such a good wrestler he would have broke into the business using a name like Matt Smith.

Harvey: Please tell me you aren’t suggesting that Matt Weatherlight has used his father’s name to get where he is in APW?

Chase: I can tell you that, but it probably won’t change the fact that he has.

Weatherlight reaches his feet and staggers towards the center of the ring. Bloody and only half conscious from the blows to the head and lack of oxygen to the brain he fails to notice Khaos sneak up behind his and apply a rear waist lock. The biggest bull in the ring goes to pop his hips looking for a German suplex, but The Mastermind is one step ahead of his and plants an elbow to Khaos’ temple that breaks the hold followed by his version of the RKO known as The Light’s Out. The Natural Born Killer’s eyes roll back in his skull and the roof nearly comes off of the arena from the fan’s cheers.

Harvey: I told you Matt Weatherlight was a dangerous man. He was playing possum all along!

Chase: Well it ain’t over yet.

The Mastermind climbs to his feet and wipes blood away from his top lip with his hand before ascending to the top rope. He signals to the fans that he is looking to his version of The Shooting Star Press known as The Heart and Soul. The crowd nearly explodes as he leaps into the air and gracefully flips backwards before all of his body weight comes down atop absolutely nothing. Khaos has somehow even after The Light’s Out has found enough gas in the tank to roll out of the way. Thinking that he has the match in hand the big man then drapes his arm across the chest of dazed and confused Matt Weatherlight as the referee drops to his stomach to make the count.

No!!!!!!!! Somehow Matt Weatherlight kicks out!!!!!!!

Chase: I don’t believe it!

Harvey: Believe it! APW’s only second generation Mega Star is still in this match.

Khaos slowly climbs to his feet and stands waiting for Matt Weatherlight to begin the climb to a vertical base. The Mastermind reaches his knees when suddenly Khaos charges like a rabid rhino and leaps with his left foot coming off of Matt’s thigh before applying a triangle choke. In a matter of seconds Weatherlight begins tapping out from the Shining Triangle that Khaos simply calls The Downer.

Winner: Khaos

The referee calls for the bell and demands that The Natural Born Killer breaks the choke, but instead he sinks it in tighter until finally the referee threatens to reverse the decision. Finally he releases the hold and stands demanding a microphone from Nicky Paige.

Khaos: I hope you’re watching this Biggs, because this was for you. I even debuted my brand new finishing move just for your entertainment. So you need to do whatever it takes to get the sand out of your mangina and get your ass back for next weeks Overdrive. If you don’t I will come find you and I promise you won’t like me if I have to come find you!

With that said, Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

We cut backstage to Hurricane Jeff's office. We find Jeff seated at his desk, shuffling documents around and filling out paperwork. A knock comes at the door.

President Jeff: Come in!

The door opens and a neatly dressed man walks through the door carrying a briefcase. Jeff rises from his chair and him and the man greet each other. The man introduces himself as Leonard Hines and extends his hand, as does Jeff. They shake, and Jeff beckons him to sit.

President Jeff: Hello, Leonard, nice to meet you. I've heard alot about you.

Leonard: Good things, I hope.

Leonard chuckles awkwardly and nervously, but Jeff maintains a stern expression.

President Jeff: The reason why I called you here tonight is because I may have some work with you. I understand that with your current legal issues, you could use a steady paycheck to cover the cost of a lawyer.

Leonard: Whoa, whoa, whoa, man! I had no idea that dude was an undercover cop. Don't act like you haven't ever powdered your nose, Jeff. And since we're on the subject, I didn't launder any money either.

President Jeff: Stop right there. I don't care about the specifics of your case, because despite you current um...situation, you are highly regarded in your field of work. You're one of the most sought after managers in sports today, which is why I require your services.

Leonard: That's what I'm talkin' about! You've made a wise choice in enlisting the services of Leonard "Jazz Hands" Hines, baby! You ever hear of famed New York Giants Wide Receiver Plaxico Burress? Guess who was responsible for getting him an extra hour of rec time? Who was the very first black person to be allowed inside of Tonya Harding's house? Or how about Michael Vick? Who paid off the Latin Kings in cigarettes to protect Michael Vick while he did his time?

President Jeff: Why couldn't you pay off of black gang to protect him?

Leonard: They were my first try, but it turns out that black prison gangs look down on dog fighting. I was nearly able to snag the Aryan Brotherhood, but they wanted cigarettes and ramen noodles, and "Jazz Hands" Hines don't fold for nobody baby!

President Jeff: Well, if you were able to pull of those things for those people so easily, I am certain you will be able to work wonders for your new client.

Leonard: I bet I will. So which one of your world-ranked APW Megastars requires my services? Level One? CJ Gates? Ryan Ruckus? Biggs?

President Jeff: He's not quite world-ranked, but he is an APW Megastar....

"Hiya Jeff! Hey, new guy!"

Standing in Jeff's doorway with and ear to ear grin decked out in his best Superman "S" logo T-Shirt tucked into his black polyester pants which are held up by dinosaur patterned suspenders, world famous man-child Biff Riboflavin. Leonard sees this and almost shits himself.

Leonard: Jeff...no.

President Jeff smiles.

President Jeff: Leonard...yes!

Jeff rises from his seat, walks around his desk and approaches Biff. He places his arm around Biff and motions to Leonard.

President Jeff: Biff, last week you missed Overdrive. Your unexcused absence didn't earn you alot of fans in the management department, so instead of firing you, I went against my better judgement and hired someone to not only make sure you make it to each and every Overdrive, but also to ensure that you have everything you need while here in APW.

Biff: Jeff, I told you how I feel about people doing things for me.....

President: You don't have a choice. Either you accept what I'm trying to do for you, or I can cancel your match tonight and fire you.

Biff ponders over Jeff offers for all of three seconds, and grins.

Biff: So, if I want to have Pizza, French Fries, six cheese lasagna and three different kinds of Ice Cream for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, he gets it for me?

President: Yep.

Biff: I'm in!

President Jeff: Good. Biff, I want you to meet your new manager, Leonard "Jazz Hands" Hines.

Biff extends his hand to Leonard for a handshake, but Leonard doesn't reciprocate. Biff doesn't pick up on Leonard's apparent dislike of him, and pulls him in for a heart-warming bro-hug instead.

Biff: Nice to meet ya, Mr. Hines. Any relation to Gregory?

Leonard's face twists into an angry mask of aggressive hate.

Leonard:...THE FUCK YOU MEAN BY THAT!?

Biff flinches.

Leonard: Why I gotta be related to Gregory Hines, cause I'm black!? You know how many fuckin' famous people there are with the surname Hines that AREN'T GREGORY FUCKING HINES!?

Biff: I--I didn't mean to offend you....

Leonard: The fuck you tryna say, you cracka ass cracka!? You tryin' to call me a magical dancin' nigga!? You want me to tap dance and juggle some Watermelons for you!?

Leonard begins what's supposed to be stereotypical dancing, but in fact looks like a full body dry heave.

Leonard: I sho appreciate you givin' me this job, Mistah Biff. Yo sho' is nice to us po black folk! I's gonna go out to the fields and---

President Jeff: LEONARD! Get ahold of yourself!

Leonard stops dancing, straightens his suit, and takes a deep breath.

Leonard: I'm sorry. I have some unresolved issues with Gregory Hines.

Biff: It's ok. I'm still upset at the networks over the cancellation of "Yes, Dear".

Leonard: Yeah that show was awesome. Mike O'Malley should have gotten an Emmy for that shit.

President Jeff: Leonard, you start tonight. Make sure you're at ringside for Biff's match.

Leonard sighs.

Leonard: God, if this is your way of punishing me for taking money out of the blind man's cup this morning in front of the coffee shop so I could get a Mocha Latte, I repent.

Biff: C'mon Leonard, I'll show you my super cool locker room at the end of the hallway! Jeff had it specially made for me. It's a little tight in there, but it has all kinds of cool stuff in it, like brooms, mops, Windex, Shamwowws, carpet cleaner....

Biff continues to name the contents of his "locker room" as Leonard follows him out, fighting back tears.

President Jeff: This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Jeff smiles and pours himself a fresh cup of hot coffee, and goes to a sip until...

"BOOM!"

His door flies open and Biff trots in smiling, startling Jeff and causing him to drop his steaming hot cup of coffee on himself, Jeff screams in pain and glowers at Biff.

Biff: Hey Jeff, there's a floor waxer in my locker room. Do i talk to Leonard about that or you?

We go to the ring for the next match

Paige: Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is scheduled for one fall…

“Shooting Star” by Black Stone Cherry begins to play as the fans cheer loudly. C.J. Gates quickly makes his way out of the back wearing his trademark cowboy hat and “Go Big or Go Home” T-shirt. He bounces around at the entrance a bit before moving towards the ring, bouncing to the beat.

Paige: Introducing first… standing five-feet, eleven-inches and weighing in at 215 pounds… from Fargo, North Dakota… C.J. GATES!!!

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

And his opponent…

You must die!
I alone am best![/i]

“I Hope You Die” hits the PA, but then scratches to a stop. And the Action Tron blips to life, on the image of a nerdy man in a white lab coat.

DR. BUNKO: Greetings… My name is Dr. Cornelius Bunko, and I am here tonight on behalf of your Undisputed #1 Contender, Ryan Ruckus. Recently, Ruckus came under fire for some heated remarks he made to a female reporter. Under normal circumstances, I would be just as appalled as all of you, by the thought of Ryan’s misogynistic behavior. However, after running some tests at my lab, early yesterday, I have come to the professional conclusion that Ryan Ruckus is not entirely in control of his actions. It seems he suffers from the extremely rare Type R2 Tourettes Syndrome, which is trigger in times of extreme mental stress, and causes Ryan to lash out with words and actions which he cannot, without proper counseling and medication, curb of his own volition. So please keep that in mind before judging him too prematurely. He is, in my assessment, a noble man with a tragically sympathetic condition. My only hope is you can learn to empathize with that. …I thank you.

The Action Tron goes black, spawning a resonant chorus of jeers from the live audience, who quite obviously aren’t buying Bunko’s ‘professional opinion.’ But the Boos are quickly drowned out by the restarting of R2’s theme music.

You must die!
I alone am best![/i]

-And Ruckus steps onto the ramp, arms raised, the first two fingers on each hand crossed, before making his way to the ring, accompanied by The Paradigm.

Paige: And his opponent… representing the Contourage… standing six-feet tall and weighing in at 215 pounds… from Hollywood, California… RYAN RUCKUS!!!

Ruckus and The Paradigm continue to the ring, attempting to slap hands with the fans, who are having none of it. In fact, one of them even chucks an empty paper cup toward the ramp, where it bounces off the side of Ryan’s head.

Harvey: Can you believe this sad display, Johnny?

Chase: Yeah, here is a poor man, doing his best to deal with a medical condition beyond his control, and our fans are pelting him with paper trash…

Harvey: Actually, I was talking about the obvious falsehoods fronted on Ryan’s behalf, by that quack, Dr. Bunko.

Chase: What do you mean?

Harvey: …You are a sad, strange man, partner…

Ryan Ruckus Vs. CJ Gates

Ruckus hits the ring, The Paradigm setting up shop in his corner, on the arena floor. Then Ruckus walks to the center of the ring and meets CJ with a handshake attempt.

At first, CJ is uncertain. But finally, he reaches as well, and the two men shake hands.

ding ding ding

-And Ruckus immediately turns the handshake into a hammerlock. Causing the crowd to BOO loudly.

Harvey: Here we go, right off the bat, with the shady behavior.

Chase: What are you TALKING about, Harvey. The man did the honorable thing, shaking hands. It’s not his fault the bell rang when it did.

Harvey: . . .

Ruckus cinches in the hammerlock, gritting his teeth, but CJ quickly ducks underneath and reverses the hold, much to the enjoyment of the crowd. Ruckus slaps at his right shoulder, cause that’s what you do when you’re in a hammerlock, and then finds himself on the bad end of an irish whip into the ropes. On his return, CJ hits the deck, and Ruckus steps over him, rebounding yet again. …Right into a leaping headscissor takedown from CJ.

The crowd cheers as R2 flips across the canvas then comes to a shocked stop in the corner, where he slowly pulls himself to his feet. But CJ isn’t waiting. The moment Ruckus reaches a vertical base, Gates is already flying toward the corner with a Stinger Splash which solidly hits its mark. Ruckus rocks against the turnbuckle and groans as CJ reaches up and snapmares him onto his back. A moment later, CJ is on the second turnbuckle and leaping off with an elbow drop that nails Ruckus right in the sternum. And here comes the cover.

1…
kickout.

Harvey: CJ Gates, wasting no time getting things cooking in this one on one contest.

Chase: Yeah, although, Ruckus is a quicker guy himself, he’s going to have to use his size and weight advantage to keep CJ grounded, if he wants to win this match.

Harvey: An amazing technical assessment of the situation, Johnny.

Chase: Don’t sound surprised, Harvey…

CJ bends to pick Ruckus off the mat, but R2 surprises him with a possum small package for-

1…


2…

And CJ kicks out. Rising to his feet and coming on again, CJ grabs Ruckus by the back of his head, only to have his feet swept and find himself on his back, on the wrong end of a pike pin attempt from the Anti-Villain.

1…


2…

CJ kicks out again, this time letting Ruckus make his own way off the canvas, and then circling. Twice around the mat, both men go, arms outstretched, reaching for a lock up. Finally, Ruckus grows tired and attempts a standing lariat. But he’s ducked by CJ who responds in kind with a flurry of right hands.

1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9!
…10!

And the crowd explodes as Ruckus stumbles backwards, rocked, and quickly dips under the bottom rope, for a breather. Despite the jeers of the audience, R2 makes his way around the ring apron to where his Hero Coach stands, and exploits the 10 count to get some words of advice and encouragement. Words which are cut short by CJ bounding across the ring and diving over the top rope with a plancha that drops The Paradigm, due to Ruckus dodging out of the way. Both the Paradigm and CJ crash to the ring floor, and Ruckus slides under the bottom rope, back into the ring.

Harvey: And look at that display of cowardice.

Chase: I agree. CJ Gates has no business taking it to the Paradigm, who is not cleared to wrestle, and is only at ringside as a consultant to our number one contender.

Harvey: I was REFERRING to… you know what, never mind.

Chase: Suit yourself.

Inside the ring, Ruckus waits as the referee arrives at a six count. Then CJ has recovered outside the ring and hops onto the apron, to get back into the fray. Unfortunately, Ruckus is there to meet him with a knee to the breadbasket and a modified Stunner which drops CJ’s neck across the top rope and drops him once again to the arena floor.

1…

CJ is up, and after catching a dirty look from the Paradigm, climbs onto the apron again. Ruckus tries to stop him with a shoulder block, but CJ deftly steps aside, then slingshots over the top rope with a sunset flip. Which Ruckus rolls through, somersaulting back onto his feet and catching CJ right in the mush with a front dropkick. CJ hits the canvas, rubbing at his jaw, and Ruckus grabs his foot, dragging him to the center of the ring, before bounding toward the ropes and nailing a Recap Lionsault for-

1…


2…


kickout.

Ruckus slaps the canvas, as if believing that should have gotten the job done, but quickly recoups and lifts CJ off the mat for a Rucker-Dropper which carries him into a second pinfall attempt.

1…


2…

kickout!

Harvey: A series of near falls for the number one contender, but CJ Gates is still too fresh to be put away that easily.

Chase: Just wait, Darren. Ruckus is just getting warmed up.

A newly-frustrated Ruckus peels CJ off the canvas again, but CJ is quick to retaliate, driving three right hands in rapid succession, into Ryan’s gut. Then, as Ruckus doubles over, CJ runs of the ropes and lets fly with a spinning heel kick. The maneuver knocks Ruckus off his feet, but he makes a fast recovery… Just in time to catch CJ coming off the other ropes with a wheelbarrow headscissors. And the crowd is loving every minute of it.

Harvey: Nice warm up.

Chase: . . .

Again, Ruckus gets to his feet, mere seconds after being dropped, and he throws a lariat in the direction of the oncoming CJ Gates. Only Gates ducks and runs up the far turnbuckle, flipping backwards and catching Ruckus looking with a Whisper in the Wind and a quick lateral press.

1…


2…

Kickout from Ruckus. And here come two bodies, rushing down the ramp, toward the ring, and announced by a resounding set of Boos from the crowd.

Chase: It’s Terry Marvin and AJ King1

Harvey: I was wondering when things would get shady.

TMarv and AJ reach the ring and begin circling like hyenas, threatening to jump onto the apron at every side of the ring, causing CJ to have to dedicate his attention to watching his back. So much so, that when he turns back to Ruckus, he gets caught, unsuspecting, by a well-timed sit-out chin breaker.

Harvey: Thus begins another Contourage cheat fest.

Only, instead of capitalizing on the distraction cause by his stable mates, Ruckus slides out of the ring and approaches them, yelling something like, ‘What the hell are you DOING?!” Terry and AJ begin to respond, but Ruckus shakes his head and points to the ramp, telling them to leave. AJ starts to comply, but TMarv grabs his arm and pulls him back, before turning to Ruckus and standing his ground with his arms folded in front of his chest. Ruckus stands there a moment, in complete disbelief, then slides into the ring and whispers something to the referee. Who then walks to the edge of the ring and EJECTS Terry Marvin and AJ King.

And the crowd actually cheers!

Chase: What the hell is Ruckus doing? Did he just get the referee to eject his own stable mates?!

Harvey: Maybe I was wrong about this new Ryan Ruckus. He seems genuine in his desire not to receive help from outside interference.

Chase: Lame…

Terry Marvin can’t believe it either and he throws a royal fit until he finally starts back up the ramp, AJ in tow. And both of them are shaking their heads, dumbfounded.

In the ring, Ruckus turns back to his opponent, only to be dropped by a standing dropkick from Gates. Who then hops to the top turnbuckle in one leap and soars from the top rope with a missile dropkick. And here’s the pin attempt.

1…


2…


kickout!

The crowd, which was on its feet, sighs a collective sigh and sits back down. CJ, running his hands through his hair, gives Ruckus a few well-placed stomps for good measure and then hops to the top rope again, and backflips off it, with a DROPPING DOW moonsault leg drop. And the crowd hits its feet again, as CJ hooks the leg.

1…


2…


3-Ruckus gets a foot on the bottom rope.

Harvey: Lucky placement for the number one contender, or this match may have been over right there!

Chase: Lucky placement nothing, Harvey. R2 is a ring general, and with that title, comes awareness. Though I still can’t figure out why he’d sell out his own back up.

CJ Gates rises to a kneeling position and rests his hands on his knees to catch his breath. Then he rolls Ruckus toward the center of the ring, looking for a pinfall which can’t be broken up by the ropes. But Ruckus reaches up and takes CJ to his back with a headlock takedown, which he holds onto in an attempt to pick up the submission. The ref gets into position and asks CJ if he wants to quit. CJ shakes his head no, right before lifting his legs and kipping up out of the hold. The crowd loves it and they cheer as CJ approaches Ruckus, only to be brought down again, by a drop toe hold which Ruckus converts into a chained Indian Death Lock. He falls back, once… twice… thrice times, torquing CJ’s knee each time, before maintaining his grounded position and using his other foot to apply pressure the CJ’s laced leg.

Harvey: Well, that’s one way to keep Gates from flying around the ring.

Chase: Like I said, Harvey, the man’s a ring general.

CJ reaches for the ropes, the pain of the Death Lock registering on his face. But he’s caught in the center of the ring, with no hope of breaking the hold. So Ruckus maintains it… for a good thirty seconds before realizing CJ’s not going to tap, no matter how dire his predicament. So finally, R2 chooses to amend his attack, and he breaks the hold. Rising to his feet, Ruckus backs into the corner, daring CJ to get to his feet and come on. So, CJ does, only two steps into his approach, his leg buckles and he lilts forward, spinning as he falls and landing back first in a seated position in the corner. Prompting Ruckus to grab the adjoining top ropes, lift himself into the air, and drive both his feet into CJ’s chest with a turnbuckle handstand dropkick.

Chase: Ruck Your Mother!

Harvey: Johnny!…

Chase: What? That’s the name of the move…

Ruckus hops up to his feet, giving a ‘what do you think of that’ pose to the crowd. They return his gesture with a fresh round of BOOs, much to R2’s chagrin. And by the time he turns back to his opponent, CJ has lifted himself up in the corner, and though tired, motions for Ruckus to bring it. So Ruckus does, with a left hand aimed at CJ’s jaw. But Gates gets an arm up to block the punch and delivers one of his own which sends Ruckus reeling. Gates follows with a boot aimed at R2;s gut, only Ruckus catches CJ’s foot and gives a smirk at the smaller man’s predicament.

The smirk is quickly erased, however, as CJ leaps off his standing foot and catches Ruckus in the back of the head with an enzuguri.

Chase: Holy crap, that echoed throughout the building!

Indeed, the enzuguri was impactful. So much so that Ruckus, holding the back of his head, rolls under the bottom rope and lands on the floor mats with a THWAP. And the ref starts counting.

1… 2… 3…

Ruckus kicks his feet outside the ring, signifying the immense amount of pain throbbing through his skull.

4… 5… 6…

He still isn’t making any effort to get to his feet.

7… 8…

Finally, The Paradigm rushes over, lifting Ruckus up.

9…

And throwing him back into the ring through the first and second ropes.

Harvey: Unbelievable.

Chase: What, the man’s just trying to help.

Well, CJ Gates doesn’t appreciate his efforts and makes his point know by walking to the edge of the ropes with some choice words for The Paradigm. Prompting The Paradigm to pull himself onto the apron and start jawing some barbs CJ’s way as well. During the debate, Ruckus slowly gets to his feet and approaches Gates, who doesn’t see him coming, due to his back being turned. But at the last moment, CJ catches sight out of his peripherals and shoots a mule kick into Ruckus’ mid-section, causing the number one contender to crumple to the mat. And then, right in front of the Paradigm, CJ leaps to the top turnbuckle, signaling for the Gatecrasher, much to the enjoyment of the crowd.

Harvey: This could be it!

Seemingly resolved to the situation, The Paradigm sighs and turns around to drop off the apron. Only his left hand catches CJ’s foot as he turns and sends the former Exchange Rate member toppling to the mat with a thud. The crowd immediately jeers the roof off, and The Paradigm gives the universal sign of, ‘oops. My bad.’ Before lowering himself to the ring floor.

Harvey: Can you freaking believe that? CJ Gates had this match won, until Ryan’s ‘Hero Coach’ dumped him off of the top rope. And the ref was too busy checking on Ruckus to catch it!

Chase: Oh, come on, Harvey. It was obviously an accident.

CJ lays motionless on the mat for a moment, then begins to stir and rises groggily to his feet. Turning around just in time to catch a boot to the gut from Ruckus, followed by a-

Chase: CLUSTER-RUCK!

-Solidly delivered and Ruckus falls atop his foe, hooking both legs.

ding, ding, ding

And the crowd explodes with an echoing chorus of jeers, as “I Hope You Die” begins to play through the arena.

Paige: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your-

Winner: Ryan Ruckus

Harvey: That’s just… despicable. Ryan Ruckus, once again, uses his under-handed tactics to steal a victory.

Chase: Oh come on, Harvey. It’s obvious to me, Ruckus didn’t even see what went down with CJ and The Paradigm. And even if he did, it was an accident.

Harvey: Whatever you say, partner.

Chase: I love it when you say that.

In the ring, The Paradigm lifts Ruckus up and raises his arm. Ruckus smiles, believing the credit for the victory is all his. Ryan exits the ring and heads up the ramp as CJ gets to his feet and looks on. Just then, someone jumps over the ring barrier and gets into the ring

Harvey: What's the fan doing?

Chase: Thats not a fan, its SALLY TALFOURD

Without CJ knowing, Sally grabs CJ from behind and drops him with the Make Over. The crowd boo's as Sally hops up and looks down at CJ

Harvey: Why did she attack CJ?

Chase: Sally's has done into hiding since losing the Title to Level One at Rasslemania, but that doesn't explain why attack CJ.

On that note, Overdrive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage with Diamante Valentine standing by himself in front of the camera

Diamante: First off, I’d like to say how great it is to be the APW Xtreme Champion. And not only that, the only ever two time APW Xtreme Champion. Do you know what that means, it makes me the greatest Xtreme Champion of all time. It makes me twice as good as every other Xtreme Champion, including hall of famer Michael Lively, Victor Hade and especially Branden Harvey. And in a month, we have our next Pay Per View, Mayhem, and as of right now, I have no challengers. And its not that I can blame them, considering, how great I am, and how Xtreme I am and who in their right mind would want to step into the ring with me and attempt to take this title.

Just then, Diamante looks over to his left and see’s someone standing there. The camera pans over and its non other than Asylum Megastar, Chris Cyrus

Chris: What’s this I hear? You claiming to be twice as good as every Xtreme Champion because you’re a two time Xtreme Champion. Lets get a few things straight here. Before I held that title, that title meant nothing. That title was getting tossed around more than a joint in a Red Shield Mafia dressing room. I held that very title for almost a year. Three Hundred and sixty four days to be exact. I’ve defeated countless number of people to keep that title. And you, you defeated Matt Ward to get back the title. Like that was much of a challenge. You’ve done nothing to prove that your worthy of being called a great Xtreme Champion and it makes me sick, knowing that a Title I once held with pride, is now being held by you!

Diamante: Who do you think you are just showing up and interrupting my promo. Listen boy, your on Asylum, how about you go back to Asylum and disrupt someone else.

Chris: Here’s the thing. I can’t just sit back and let you think your as great as you think you are. And since you said yourself, you don’t have a challenger for Mayhem, how about you and me square off. I got not problem taking that title from you and taking it back to Asylum.

Diamante: You want to fight me at Mayhem for the Xtreme Title?

Chris: That’s right

Diamante: Looks like I’ll see you at Mayhem. And Chris, one more thing

Diamante then sucker punches Chris, knocking him back and then Diamante takes the Xtreme Title and hits Chris in the head with it. Chris goes down and Diamante stands over him with a grin and we head back to ringside.

Harvey: It looks like we have an Xtreme Title match for Mayhem

Chase: How many headlocks do you expect Chris to give Diamante in that match

Harvey: If I we’re Diamante, I’d work on how to counter headlocks.


Nicky Paige: This bout is a singles contest scheduled for one fall, where the winner is determined by submission or pinfall. Introducing first, hailing from Detroit, Michigan, stand at 6'2" and weighing 187 pounds, BIFF RIBOFLAVIN!

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. His new manager Leonard Hines reluctantly lags behind, wishing he was anywhere but where he is now. A large, goofy grin crosses Biff's face and they all start down the ramp,once they enter the aisle Biff begins slapping fives. Once he reaches the ring he walks up the ring steps, trips on his untied bootlace and falls flat on his face. Leonard just shakes his head in embarrassment, as Biff's brothers help him up. He gets in the ring and waits for his opponent.

Nicky Paige: Ladies and gentlemen, weighing in at 240 lbs. From Phoenix, Arizona, Jesse "The Prodigy" Nuñez!

Jesse walks out from backstage and stands at the top of the ramp. He's wearing his usual ring attire along with his T-shirt and hat. He looks around the arena and nods in approval of their reaction. He points toward the ring and signals it is time for action as he heads down toward the ring.

Opponent in the ring; you will fear me
Intensity in your veins, like me, no not nearly
I’m my own dynasty go check the stats man
The signal is up; locked in mind like Batman
I breathe in the spotlight no oxygen needed
This is how I survive no matter how many times I bleeded
I’m a triple threat as I walk out to the ramp
Star in the movies, music, and a multi World Champ



Jesse then slides into the ring and starts to pose for the crowd before throwing off his hat and T-shirt into the crowd. Jesse starts to get a few final stretches in with his arms and throws a few punches in the air.

They chant my name for a reason (Jesse chants faded in the background)
If you don’t know you better go check what’s up
Too late the bells rung you’re about to get fu**** up
We lock eyes I can tell you’re done with
Match is almost over and you still ain’t done s***
You got one move, wrong one, you blow it
There's no mistakes in my world I’m immune to show it

His music begins to fade off and he is ready to go.

Harvey: Here we go!

Chase: Great, yet another match involving an idiot and a meathead.

Harvey: Whoa, whoa, Chase. While I agree that Biff Riboflavin certainly isn't the smartest guy walking around here, I wouldn't call Jesse Nunez a meathead.

Chase: I wasn't talking about Nunez.

With both men in the ring, the bell sounds.

DING DING DING!

Jesse Nunez Vs Biff Riboflavin

Nunez and Riboflavin begin to circle each other, with both men daring the other to make the first move. Finally, Biff does, and lunges at Jesse. They lock up, but the much heavier Nunez shoves Biff across the ring, forcing him to fall flat on his back. Biff flips over and lands on his feet, and runs right at Jesse. Jesse is there with the counter, and stuns Biff with a snap jab. Jesse begins to fire off lefts and rights, and shoots Biff off into the ropes. Nunez attempts a clothesline on the return, but Biff ducks it, continues across the ring, bounces off the ropes, does a front flip and lands a Handspring Back Elbow. Nunez goes down, and Biff pins him, hooking the leg

1...

Nunez powers his way out with authority, shoving Biff off of him. Biff lands on his feet, and begins go to work on the legs of Nunez, pegging him with sharp right and left low kicks. Biff goes to throw a fourth one, but Jesse catches his leg. Biff maintains his balance, leaps up, and pegs Nunez in the head with his free leg!

Harvey: Enzuiguiri!

Nunez goes down in a heap, and Biff attempts a cover yet again.

1...

2...

Nunez kicks out yet gain, and Biff is right back to his feet, measuring Jesse and waiting for him to get up.

Harvey: Biff's speed and sense of urgency are two of his best assets.

Chase: Yeah, he is a persistent little helmet, isn't he?

Nunez climbs to his feet, and Biff leaps up in a Jumping Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick attempt, but Nunez catches him, and nearly puts him through the mat with a spinebuster! Biff's head bounces off the mat, and Nunez floats over to make the pin, hooking the leg.

1...

2...

Biff gets the shoulder up.

Nunez whips Biff to his feet and shoots him off into the ropes. He ducks in order to set up a back body drop, but Biff leaps over Nunez's back in a sunset flip attempt. He pulls Nunez down with him, but can't hold him down long enough to get a count. Nunez quickly flips over to his feet, and rocks a still-seated Biff with a kick to the face. He bounds off the ropes behind Biff, leaps over him, and jars his neck with a Throwback. Biff's head snaps forward and he rolls onto his back. Nunez covers him yet again.

1...

2...

Biff gets the shoulder up with less strength than before.

Harvey: Looks like Biff got his bell rung a little there.

Chase: Pfft, Riboflavin's bell has been rung since birth.

Nunez pounds the mat in frustration, but goes right back to work on Biff. He returns to his snap-jab offense, jarring Biff's head back with each blow, causing him to wilt against the ropes. Nunez steps back, and charges at Biff with a full head of steam in a clothesline attempt, but Biff ducks it and pulls down the top rope, causing Nunez to go plummeting over the top rope and onto the floor outside. Biff uses the ropes to pull himself up, and once he clears out the cobwebs, he bolts off into the ropes, and on the return dives over the top rope and lands a perfect front flip Senton on Jesse Nunez! With Jesse hurt from the attack and Biff suffering from recoil, both men are still down and stirring.

Harvey: How impressive was Biff Riboflavin with that high risk maneuver?

Chase: Very impressive considering that the most high-risk thing Biff Riboflavin has done lately was tie his shoes.

Biff gets to his feet first, and goes for the steel ring steps. He drags them out into the aisle, and steps back. He then runs forward, steps on and leaps off of the steps toward a half-recovered Jesse Nunez, but Jesse uses a burst of energy to explode into a spear that picks Biff right out of the air and nearly puts him through the arena floor. Jesse takes a second to catch his breath, and then rises to his feet. He grabs Biff by his hair and throws him under the bottom rope into the ring. Jesse then climbs up on the apron, climbs the turnbuckle and begins measuring Biff.

As Biff slowly rises to his feet, Jesse leaps off and nearly decapitates Biff with a diving leg drop Bulldog! Biff faceplants on the mat and Jesse pins him, this time hooking both legs.

1...

2...

Kickout!

Harvey: Another near fall for Jesse Nunez. He's closing in on victory, but he cannot allow himself to get frustrated and let this slip away.

Chase: Wanna hear a shocker? I second that notion, Harvey. If he allows himself to get frustrated now, he'll be even more frustrated later when he finds out that he lost to a guy who thinks racism is what they were doing for pink slips for the Fast and the Furious.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Nunez is shocked and argues the speed the count with the ref. He doesn't argue for long and goes back to work on Biff. He picks him up, and drops him with a Randy Orton-style Neckbreaker. With Biff flat on his back in the center of the ring, Jesse runs off into the ropes leaps over Biff on the return and bounces off the ropes on the other side of the ring, runs back to Biff, stops

"YOU CAN'T SEE ME!"

And crushes Biff with a diving fist drop.

Chase: My, that looks and sounds oddly familiar...

Harvey: The KoneXion! It might be all she wrote after that devastating maneuver!

Instead of going for a cover, Jesse stands up and waits for Biff to climb to his feet. He smiles at the crowd and signals for the Resurrection. As Biff groggily climbs to his feet, Nunez lifts him up onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry, but Biff counters! He attacks with elbows to the side of Jesse's head, and once Jesse drops him, Biff lands on his feet, does a back flip and nails Jesse right in the side of the head with a pele kick

Jesse falls to the mat momentarily, but leaps to his feet, only to be met with a flipping dropkick by Biff. Jesse pops up yet again, only to get more of the same. He jumps up for a third time, only to get more of the same!

Harvey: Riboflavin is beginning to build up a head of steam!

Chase: I thought his head was always full of hot air?

With Nunez writhing on the mat near the ropes, Biff runs to the other side of the ring, bounces off the ropes, dives into a somersault, rolls forward, leaps to his feet and lands a perfect jumping front-flip senton. Biff drags Jesse away from the ropes and goes for a pin, hooking the leg.

1..

2...

Nunez kicks out!

Harvey: Nunez gets the arm up! What an impressive show of heart from the former EWC Champion.

Chase: Thank god he kicked out.

Harvey: I thought you didn't like Jesse Nunez?

Chase: Dude, I'd root for Idi Amin if it meant Biff Riboflavin getting his ass kicked.

Biff pulls Nunez to his feet and fires him off onto the nearest corner. Biff charges forward and lands a wicked Shining Wizard that snaps Jesse's head back, causing blood to trickle from Jesse's nose. Nunez covers his bloody nose and stumbles forward, while Biff sneaks up behind him and leaps behind Jesse, attempting a leaping reverse bulldog, but Jesse counters with an jumping cutter!

Harvey: OH! Nunez counters the Flash In The Pan with the Rising Phoenix!


Biff writhes on the mat and rolls over onto his stomach. Nunez notices this and grabs his leg, and drags him into the center of the ring and locks in the PHX!

Harvey: Biff Riboflavin is in serious danger right now. I've seen him submit some very talented guys with that move!

Chase: KILL HIM! KILL THE SHIT OUT OF HIM NUNEZ!

Harvey: Chase! A little professionalism please!

Chase: Right. HURT HIM REALLY, REALLY, BAD, SO BAD THAT HE STOPS LIVING FOR A LONG TIME, PREFERABLY FOREVER NUNEZ!

Biff begins inching toward the ropes, but Nunez has the hold in deep. Biff is persistent, and claws forward with his arm outstretched, slowly but surely reaching for the ropes. Biff begins to fade slightly as his eyes bulge and his head turns purple. Suddenly, in an act of desperation he is able to use a burst of energy to jerk forward and grab hold of the bottom rope. Nunez wrenches back, holding on for the full five seconds until the referee pulls him off.

Nunez goes the grabs Biff's leg again to set up the PHX, but Biff is able to use his free leg to stand. Nunez continues to pull Biff towards him trying to drag him back down, but Biff turns around, and is able to free his leg by leaping, twisting in the air and landing a picture perfect Jumping Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick. This stuns Nunez, but does not knock him down.

As Nunez stumbles around on wobbly legs, Biff runs up behind him, leaps up and takes him back with a Leaping Reverse Bulldog!

Harvey: The Flash In The Pan!

Chase: I'd like to hit him with a pan, repeatedly.

Biff runs to the nearest corner, leaps onto the second turnbuckle, jumps up to the top, flips off and lands a high elevation Double Jump Moonsault!

Harvey: The Biffsault!

Chase: Oh aren't you the Biff Riboflavin moveset encyclopedia.

Biff pins Jesse, hooking both legs.

WINNER BY PINFALL: BIFF RIBOFLAVIN

Biff Celebrates in the ring as Overdrive cuts to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up with the camera slowly coming in to focus on an empty highway; which seems to be in a desert setting. The sun is beaming down on the pavement, the cactus dance with the blowing of the wind, and off in the distance a bird is picking at the remains of a dead animal carcass. A slow buzzing sound is getting louder and louder as the camera pans out to see a 2011 Ford Mustang approaching the horizon. It gets closer…and closer…until finally it zooms past the camera

Man: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The scene rocks back and forth as the momentum from the car shakes the background and disappears in to the distance. We pan back again to a figure lying on the hood of the car. We’re close enough to make out the outline of the man but far enough off to not catch his distinguishing features.

Man: I can’t believe I’m doing this again.

The figure takes out a pack of cigarettes, and lights one up. He takes a deep breath and exhales, blowing smoke in to the air.

Man: It’s been a long time since I’ve laced up these boots. There was a time in my life where the only thing that mattered was stepping foot in the squared circle. Night after night, I put my life on the line to “perform” for these so-called “fans.” From arena to arena, I battled champion after champion; and every night I dealt with the pain of giving everything I had to this business.

We pan a little closer – this time to see a deep scar across the man’s face.

Man: I paid my dues and paved the way so people like Level One and CJ Gates. I scratched, clawed and crawled my way to the top. I’ve done it once and I surely will do it again. Only this time it’s going to be different. This time I’m doing this for M-E and for me alone. I’m not following your rules – I’m setting my own. For too long I’ve lived according to the expectations of everyone else. Over the past 10 years, I’ve sat thinking, “what could have been” and now I’ve been granted this second opportunity and I’m not going to let it go to waste. APW, Action Packed Wrestling, you’ve been put on notice. I’m back and Simply Put there is nothing you can do about it.

The man hops down from the hood of the car and opens the driver side door, hops in and drives away. A logo flashes on the screen followed by the words, “Simply Put” Johnny Rebel. Our screen fades to black with the words, “Coming Soon” left on the screen.



APW Overdrive cuts with “Spaceman,” by The Killers, playing as the arena lights fade to a dim blue.



Paige: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the APW Overdrive Champion, Biggs!

Fog emits from the curtain as blue laser lights shoot from the stage and blue spotlights twirl about the arena. Strobe lights flash as Biggs emerges from the back, dressed in a dark suit with a blue tie and blue feathers on the shoulder. He has the APW Overdrive Championship Belt clasped around his waist, and a hard cast on his left arm. The fans are booing loudly as Biggs makes his way down the ramp. As he reaches the ring, the Overdrive Champion walks up the ring steps, and calls the ref over to hold the ropes open for him as he enters the ring.

Harvey: For those of you at home wondering why our Overdrive Champion is wearing a cast on that left arm, let's take you back to last week's main event!

The feed switches to a replay video, where Khaos and Biggs are fighting during the Fatal Fourway Main Event. Footage is shown of Khaos tossing Biggs arm first into the ring post, followed up by a shot of Khaos slamming Biggs' arm into the ring post on the outside.

Harvey: All throughout last week's match, Lester Only, Ryan Ruckus, and Khaos all focused on the Overdrive Champion's arm, until Khaos actually broke the darn thing!

Khaos is shown applying the Cross Armbreaker to Biggs, and the video slows down as Biggs' left forearm snaps sickeningly!

Chase: This is just hard to watch! Nobody should have to go through that kind of punishment!

As the feed switches back to live, Biggs is in the ring with a sour look on his face as his music fades and the lights come back to normal. The fans have a loud, “YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT!” chant going, souring Biggs' mood even more. He waits for the chants to die down a bit before beginning to speak.

Biggs: Yes, it's true! I did tap out last week. But the fact of the matter is that I won't let it get to me! Rather than get caught up in the fact that I had to swallow my pride and take the loss, I realize that for my personal well being, it was the right thing to do. The fact of the matter is that by that point in the match, my arm was already broken. As you saw on the screen, it came at the hands of none other than the next challenger for my Overdrive Championship, Khaos. Now I know that a lot of you in this crowd and at home are hoping that by seeing this cast on my arm, that it means I won't be able to wrestle within the 30 days maximum allowed between title defenses. I know a lot of you hope that it means that I will have to vacate this title which I have successfully defended seven times in seven matches. I know that many of you hope that I am out here to announce that I won't be facing Khaos at Mayhem. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint all of you, but that's not the case! Who do you think I am, Pence Weatherlight?!

This comment draws loud boos from the crowd.

Harvey: He's referring to Pence forfeiting the Overdrive Championship in February of last year.

Biggs: Sure, my arm is legitimately broken, and the doctors probably won't clear me to compete in time for Mayhem, but the simple truth of the matter is that I don't give a flying crap about what the doctors think! I have worked too long and too hard to just let this Overdrive Championship leave me like this! It would be rewarding Khaos for his negligence and sloppy wrestling for me to drop this title uncontested! But most of all, it would tarnish my legacy as the Greatest Overdrive Champion in APW history! You see, Khaos, you may think that by taking out one of my arms, that you've made it easier for you to possibly defeat me when we meet for the title. That's not the case at all, Khaos. Because even with one arm, I'm better than you, despite all the experience you may have going one handed, if you know what I mean!

Biggs flashes a smirk at this point, but then continues to talk.

Biggs: Not only that, Khaos, but you've gone and made things personal! Before you broke my arm last week, I just viewed you as another opponent against whom I would reassert my dominance. You were just another chump who wanted a shot at me and my Overdrive Title, one whom I would quickly put in his place before going onto my next challenge. But now, Khaos, now that you've not only cost me my undefeated streak when you helped Chris Cyrus to defeat me a week-and-a-half ago, but you also prevented me from...

Biggs is cut off as “Walk,” by Pantera, blares over the speakers, and Khaos steps out onto the stage! He makes a beeline down the ramp towards the ring, where Biggs is glaring at him. Khaos grabs a mic before stepping up onto the apron, and getting into Biggs' face!

Khaos: You know what, Biggs, you talk too much. There's an old saying that actions speak louder than words!

At this point, Khaos drops the mic, and lunges at Biggs! The champ sidesteps the attack, and then clocks Khaos right in the face with the bottom of the mic, and then gives him a nasty forearm shot with the arm in the cast, sending Khaos to the mat! Biggs then mounts the much larger competitor, and beats him down with more casted forearm shots, before getting back up to his feet and grabbing the mic. He then leans down over Khaos, speaking in a serious tone.

Biggs: I couldn't agree with you more...UCK!

Right at this moment, Khaos reaches up with both his hands, wrapping them around the throat of the Overdrive Champion! As Biggs struggles to get out of the chokehold, Khaos makes his way back up to his feet, and pulls Biggs in for the Greetings from Hell, Michigan Powerbomb Lungblower with such force that it causes the Overdrive Title Belt to pop right off from around the champ's waist!

Harvey: That's the move Khaos hit to help Cyrus defeat Biggs at Asylum the Sunday before last!

Chase: Things aren't looking good for the champ here!

With Biggs down, Khaos places his boot on the cast, and stomps down as hard as he can again and again, trying to break the cast! After a few stomps, he realizes this isn't the most effective way of doing it, and grabs a hold of Biggs' arm, dragging him towards the corner! Khaos then rolls outside the ring, and grabs a hold of Biggs' arm again, slamming it repeatedly into the turnbuckle until the cast shows signs of cracking! Biggs howls out in pain as Khaos rips the cast off and slams Biggs' arm into the post once more! By this point, referees and road agents run down the ramp to try and break things up! Eventually, they manage to get some separation between Khaos and Biggs, and “Walk” blares over the speakers again as Khaos sports a sadistic grin across his face!

Chase: Khaos is one bad dude, that's for sure! There's no doubt that his time in prison gave him a certifiable mean streak!

Harvey: Khaos has just physically ravaged the Overdrive Champion here tonight! It might be smart for Biggs to just swallow his pride and take some time off!

Biggs pulls his broken arm close to him, and is crying in pain as the agents gingerly help him out of the ring. Khaos rolls back into the ring and grabs a hold of the Overdrive Title Belt, raising it high in the air. Biggs can be heard yelling through the pain.

Biggs: Give me back my belt, you son of a... OW!

Khaos just laughs and continues to hold the belt up high as Biggs is led up the ramp.

Harvey: Could we be seeing a preview of things to come when these two meet for the Overdrive Championship at Mayhem!?

Chase: As much as I hate to say this, Biggs might not even make it to Mayhem!

Backstage

Once again, we find ourselves outside the Contourage locker room. Yelling can be heard from beyond the door, in what sounds like the voice of Ryan Ruckus.

“Son. Of. A. Bitch!!!”[/b]

And just to the left of the door, stands “The Real Show” Terry Marvin, talking to the blonde reporter, Sarah Needlemeyer, who we first saw in R2’s promo this week.

TMARV: So, everything went according to plan?[/b]

SARAH: Right down to the letter. Your friend may be more susceptible to verbal goading than even YOU know.

TMARV: And he definitely got angry? And we definitely caught it on camera?[/b]

SARAH: He threatened to stomp my vagina on thirteen different news networks and web sites. It’s safe to say your plan was an undeniable success.

TMarv reaches into the pocket of his street clothes and hands Sarah a hundred dollar bill.

TMARV: Good work. I’ll call you again, should I need you.[/b]

Sarah takes the hundred, folds it up, and shoves it into the front of her shirt.

SARAH: I look forward to it.

Then she’s gone, leaving TMarv standing by himself, smirking, until someone else steps into the frame. Someone who’s wearing the APW Undisputed title around his shoulder. Someone who illicits such a cheer from the arena crowd, we here it all the way backstage. Someone named Lester Only. Who steps right up to TMarv, and stares.

TMARV: What?![/b]

Tmarv lifts his shoulders, fronting like he’d be down for a fight. Lester looks him up and down, then rolls his eyes.

LESTER: I’m not here for you. So be good and wander along, before I change my mind.

TMarv smiles a second, then steps closer to the Undisputed champ.

TMARV: One of these days…

The champ doesn’t bat an eye.

LESTER: I look forward to it.

Then TMarv is gone as well, leaving L1 to reach up to knock on the door, but before he can, the doors flies open, and Ryan Ruckus exits in a huff, nearly crashing into Lester. He stops short, sees who it is and sighs. And the tension between them is thick enough, it elicits another cheer from the crowd.

R2: The hell do YOU want? I don’t have time for this right now.

Lester smirks.

LESTER: You know what I don’t have time for?

R2: What?

LESTER: Your bullshit. There you stand, talking out one side of your mouth about how you want to change, meanwhile, you’re still pulling the same old Ryan Ruckus nonsense week in and week out.

R2: You don’t know what you’re talking about.[/b]

Lester steps closer.

LESTER: Don’t I?

Ruckus steps closer.

R2: No. You don’t.[/b]

LESTER: So I must’ve imagined your cronies coming down and getting involved in the Main Event last week. And I must’ve imagined what just went down out there tonight?

R2: Must have.

And now, they’re practically nose to nose, each staring intently at the other.

LESTER: Well, what I do know is THIS. You want to change your ways? Fine. You want to stay the shit heel that you are? No real problem with that either. But you’re damn-sure going to stop citing me as your inspiration and then making a mockery of everything I’m trying to stand for.

R2: Or. Else. What?[/b]

Lester smirks. Ruckus smirks in response. And for a moment, we’re all pretty sure we’ll see Mayhem then and there.

But then-

“Ahem.”

Lester and Ruckus both turn to see President Jeff standing there, hands on his hips.

PJEFF: You two want to kill each other? Fine by me; hell of a draw. But I’ll be damned if you give that stuff away for free on Overdrive. Save it for Mayhem, or you’ll both be sorry. And that's the ONLY time I'll say it.

The look on Jeff’s face says, “Go ahead and test me.” So Lester finally scoffs and turns back to Ruckus.

LESTER: I’ll be seeing you soon.

R2: Maybe sooner than you think…[/b]

They stand and stare for another 15 seconds, then Lester flexes his arms, pats his Undisputed title, and turns to walk away.

-Leaving Ruckus in the hallway, staring daggers at his back…

Commercial

[President Jeff]

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

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, weighing in at 220 Pounds, 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.

Harvey: For anyone just joining us, Earlier tonight, we learned that Brandon Young is pregnant and is unable to wrestle in tonight’s main event, but Brandon Young decided to step in for his wife to take on Level One

Chase: And because of Brandon’s Pregnancy, President Jeff forced Beautiful to hand over their tag titles and vacate them for the time being.

Harvey: Make this a lesson learn to every male and female tag team out there. If your gonna be champions and have some fun on the side, use protection!

Put You On Game- By Lupe Fiasco blasts the PA system, as Level-One steps up on-top of the ramp. Red smoke swirls beneath him, and a string of red and blue pyro shoots up into the air he raises his title high in the air.

Paige: From Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 262 pounds, he is the current APW Undisputed Champion…..LEVEL ONE!!

Level-One puts his title on his shoulder and slowly begins to walk down the ramp, being cheered loudly by the crowd. Level-One climbs up onto the apron. He climbs up turn-buckle, hoisting his title high in the air. Level-One hops down, and awaits for the fight in-front of him.

Winner: Level One

Level One’s music begins to play and the ref hands him the Undisputed Title and raises his arm in victory

Harvey: And another win for Level One, closing in on his 50th singles win in APW

As Lester stands in the middle of the ring holding his title high, The Contourage, Ryan Ruckus, Terry Marvin and AJ King all run down to the ring and attack Lester from behind. They knock Lester down and begin stomping on him. The crowd is booing and the bell is ringing and The Contourage bring Lester over to the corner and continue to beat on him.

Harvey: Come on now.

Chase: Ryan is going to use any opportunity he gets to weaken up Level One for Mayhem

Contourage continue to beat up on Level One and then Brandon Young is up. He grabs AJ kick and clotheslines him down. He then nails Ryan from behind and then Terry Marvin. Brandon goes back to Ryan grabbing him in a front face lock, about to DDT him and Terry nails Brandon with a kick to the head, knocking him down.

Harvey: The Contourage is just too much for them

Chase: And Kaycee is unable to come out and help

Contourage continues a 3 on 1 beat down on Brandon and then the fans begin to cheer as CJ Gates rushes down to the ring. He slides into the ring and hits AJ with a dropsault and then a dropsault on Terry followed by a spinning heel kick on Ryan. With CJ standing tall in the ring, Sally Talfourd runs down to the ring, gets in and hits him with the Makeover.

Harvey: The second time tonight Sally attacked CJ.

With CJ down and out, Sally exit’s the ring and heads up the ramp. Contourage get to their feet and they go to Level One who’s pulling himself up in the corner. Level One fires out of the corner with punches, backing everyone up. Brandon Young comes over and begins helping out. Brandon and Lester fend off Contourage long enough for CJ to get back up and gets in on the action. Brandon clotheslines Terry Marvin over the top rope and CJ tosses AJ King out, leaving Ryan Ruckus alone

Chase: This isn’t good.

The three of them circle Ryan. AJ jumps onto the ring apron and CJ runs towards him and AJ jumps off. The same thing happens between Terry and Brandon. Ryan gets up and see’s that he’s alone with CJ, Brandon and Lester. Ryan tries to run away, but CJ and Brandon grab him and throw him into Level One who lifts him up across his shoulders and hits him with the Darkness Shrine! The fans cheer as Terry and AJ reach into the ring and pull Ryan out of the ring

Harvey: The Contourage thought they could out smart Level One and get the best of him tonight, but in the end, it was the Contourage who got outsmarted.

Level One’s music begins to play and he, CJ and Brandon all begin to Celebrate as The Contourage head up the ramp, looking on into the ring

Harvey: Well folks, that’s all for tonight

Chase: The Contourage will be back better than ever next week. Wait and see

Harvey: Join us next week, same time, same place. For Johnny Chase, I’m Darren Harvey. SEE YA!

The good guy continue to celebrate as the APW logo flashes on the screen and Overdrive goes off the air.
