Overdrive - St. John, NB, Canada(06/16/11)

[President Jeff]

Pyro shoots from the stage and the camera pans through the St. John, New Brunswick crowd as the fans are on their feet in excitement for seeing APW live after 2 and a half years. The camera then cuts to ringside with Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase

Harvey: Welcome everyone to THURSDAY NIGHT OVERDRIVE!!!

Chase: We are two weeks away from Test for the Best and this is the last Overdrive show before the PPV to crown a new number one contender for the World and Undisputed Title

Harvey: But before we get to Test for the Best, we still have a show here tonight. Tonight, we have CJ Gates taking on Sally Talfourd and Diamante Valentine in a handicap match

Chase: Too bad for CJ that no one wants to be his partner

Harvey: And in our main event, we will see Level One and Nathaniel Havok teaming up to take on Biggs and Jacob Whitehead

Chase: And lets not forget President Jeff will announce which 4 Overdrive Megastars will be in the Test for the Best tournament.

An eerie music comes across the PA. Soft, at first, drowned out by the audience Then, as it grows, the fans die down. They start to look around, and, as it dies out, on the last note, the lights switch off and the arena is plunged into darkness.

This is what I brought you
This you can keep,
This is what I brought
You may forget me.
I promise to depart
Just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

The beat kicks in. The fans let out a chorus of boo's, hidden in the darkness. Three spotlights light up the path to the ring: One on the curtains, one at the foot of the ramp, and one in the centre of the ring. A wait. A long wait until there's movement. Into the first spotlight, from backstage, steps the immeasurable and incomparable Sally Talfourd. Behind her, quickly, comes Nero, his Xtreme Championship shinging around his waste. The two pose for the audience, then Sally throws out her arms, kicks up a leg as walks out of the light, into the darkness, with Nero..

This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve.

Sally and Nero next appears in the second spotlight, at the base of the ramp. She stops, looks left and looks right. She then shares a laugh with Nero as she points out to the corwd. The two point to the ring, then make a line for it. At their ring.

I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

Finally, after taking longer than she needed, Sally appears in the centre of the ring. As she looks out into the dark at the crowd, she can't help but let a smirk cross her face. She raises her hand to quiet the crowd, and the lights come up. The crowd, however, isn't having a bar of it and get even louder . Sally and Nero laugh to themselves, then finally get a microphone thrown to them. Nero shoulders his belt, holding on to it with pride. Sally looks around once more, then just starts – with or without the attention of the crowd.

Sally: And just as I expected: A full house tonight. Well done, Saint John. I knew your wouldn't disappointed. And how did I know this? You're the same sick and demented people who watched … glued to your television screens as CJ Gates was turned into a pathetic mass of cowardice yet again by your's truly! *Sally smiles as the crowd reacts* Yes, I know it must be painful to hear. But it's the truth. You all tuned in last week. The people at Moncton, they bought up every last ticket to see it. And you're all back again. Sucked in by the violence and hate machine that is professional wrestling. Sure, you're booing me right now. But you're still watching me. You're still paying to see me. You're still waiting to know what we're going to do! *Sally goes to stand alongside Nero* Even if you boo me you … APW … and especially CJ Gates … you'd all have nothing! Me and Nero make OverDrive the show to watch. We're making Test for the Best the pay per view to buy. And we're making CJ Gates' matches the ones to see.

Sally lets out a laugh as Nero mumbles something to her.

Sally: You're right, Nero. You're absolutely right. Without us, there would have been no reason at all to watch CJ Gates and his funny little matches. This joke, this non-entity, this … nothing. He has no right to be in the ring …

Nero: … our ring …

Sally: … that's right. CJ has no right to be in our ring. We've shown each and every week what you have to do to get to the top of APW. CJ Gates likes to walk around thinking that, you know, he is the next big thing here … when he can't even manage to muster up the strength or the courage or the fortitude to actually stand up for himself! CJ Gates is a coward of the highest order. He's a disrespect to this company. He's disrespect to me. And, as much as you might want to cheer him and believe in him, he's a disrespect to you fans! Because he's not the reason you're here. He's not the reason you want to see our match tonight. He's not the reason you care about wrestling … I am!

The boos start up again, Sally looking a little worked up over that. She has to take in some deep breaths. Nero gently pats her on the shoulder, then takes the microphone from her.

Nero: You bunch of sickos! You want to boo us? You dare to boo us!? You only do that because you're told to. You only do that because people like CJ Gates have somehow tricked you into thinking it's the right thing to do. Who's the champion in all this? Me! Who is the former world champion in all this? Sally! And who is the man who has never achieved anything more than *Nero laughs* a tag team championship and a flukey pay per view win? CJ Gates, that's who! You want to boo us, fine. But Sally and I know that you're really here to see us take it to CJ for another week. You know the reason you can't wait to see our match is because you know exactly how the match will end up.

How else can a handicap match like this end? CJ Gates couldn't even defend himself last week! Now he's beat down and busted up more than ever. How the Hell is he going to be able to make sure he's going to win? He can't. He couldn't on his best night! CJ., you fans, even APW knows that handicap matches never end well. And with Sally and I in the ring with CJ … there's no choice. There's no alternative. There's no options. CJ Gates will go into this match hurting and he will walk out hurting a hundred times more! That's a promise, CJ.

Sally pats Nero on the back, nodding her approval.

Sally: You're not wrong there Nero. I mean, you would think that this is all a little, like, unfair for poor CJ. I mean, two-on-one? It's not even a good kind of two-on-one either! Surely the powers that be in APW know that CJ Gates isn't going to be able to crawl out of the ring by the end of tonight, right? This seems so unfair that … that it's like it was meant to be a tag team match and they just couldn't find anyone strong enough to carry CJ! I mean, they paired him with Lester and no even he could do the job. Then again, Lester's never really been able to face off against me convincingly. But getting back to it all …

Someone's had enough. "Shooting Star" by Black Stone Cherry begins to play, sending the fans to their feet with cheers. As the song plays, the curtains part and out from the back walks C.J. Gates, wearing his cowboy hat and "GO BIG OR GO HOME" T-shirt. He looks out at the crowd before nodding his head and slowly making his way down to the ring. Sally and Nero are up in arms. Then, quickly, Sally darts behind Nero. She pushes him towards the ropes CJ is headed to, then heads towards the ropes furthest away from them, resting an arm on the top one so that she can make a quick escape if needed. CJ stops at ringside, waits for the crowd to die down, then brings the microphone he's been carrying to his mouth.

CJ: What a surprise to see you doing what you do best, running your mouth. More lies with hopes that the fans will believe you. Though, what you fail to realize is the same thing you failed to realize last week. They didn't pay to watch you and Nero, not even close. But to you, you think that they are all hungry for more punishment. To tell you the truth, Sally, the only punishment they came to see, is me kicking your ass just like I did at Mayhem.

The fans cheer as Sally chuckles and shakes her head.

CJ: Sure, maybe I haven't been able to repeat Mayhem in the past few weeks, but that is to be expected with your opponent is constantly fixing matches and having her lapdog run in and attack me. Honestly, Sally, I'm sure that everyone here is wondering the same thing I am. Can Sally Talfourd still fight an even match without any sort of advantage?

Sally opens her mouth to speak, but Gates continues.

CJ: We could have just as easily had a tag team match this week, but I'm sure you begged and pleaded with anyone who would listen to have this handicap match tonight. Afraid of me and my partner...

Sally: You couldn't find a partner if you paid them your match fee tonight and for the rest of the year! You've got no one, CJ. No one's defended you against us. No one's stood up for you against us. No one's stood alongside you against us.

Gates smirks.

CJ: That is true. Though I bet that I could go back there and find someone that would be more than willing to fight alongside me. After all, a former champion that is really just a shell of what she once was, and a man who holds a title that, in my eyes, sits below the tag team titles on the scale of importance shouldn't be that much of a intimidation factor. So what do you say, Sally? Care to make tonight's meeting a tag team match? Or are you too worried that you might actually have to play by the rules for once.

Sally: If you could find someone, sure. *Sally quickly thinks to herself, her mind racing through the roster of available partners … nope, no one to worry about* And out of all those poor hacks that haven't been booked here, tonight, you think any of them would be help for you? Puh-lease CJ. If you couldn't get the job done with Level-One … who the heck else could you bring that would give you a fighting chance. Face it, CJ. You won't find anyone!

CJ: I'm sure someone will step forward and help me out. I'm not the only person back there that you have pissed off in recent weeks. I'm not the only person that is hungry for revenge. Who knows, maybe I'll run into some multi-time former Xtreme champion to give your sidekick a run for his money.

Sally: CJ! Stop talking to me! You need to get going. You have *Sally holds up her wrist, not wearing a watch but she reads the time* like, less than two hours to go find some sucker stupid enough to tag with you.

CJ: Worried, Sally? Because that's what it sounds like to me. But don't worry, because I will find somebody. And better yet, I'll guarantee that you won't see it coming, and that you will be singing a completely different tune once the match is over. Because this is the night when the tyrant queen gets dethroned.

There's a tense stare-off between Sally and CJ – CJ staring right past Nero, locking eyes with his nemesis for the past few months. They trade some words which are drowned out by the crowd's excitement. Then CJ starts to nod as he turns his back on the ring, headed backstage to find his partner. Sally walks up to Nero with a devilish smirk, the two discussing the changes to their match as they climb out the ring, then make their own ways backstage and Overdrive goes to its first commercial

[President Jeff]

The scene cuts back to the APW locker room where “Simply Put” Johnny Rebel is sitting on a bench, lacing up his boots in preparation for his match tonight against Khaos and Nova. He stops and looks up to the other side of the room.

Rebel: I just can’t decide. There are too many options!

The camera pans over to see a line of Lucha Libre style masks stretched out over a row of mannequin heads. A young man is standing next to the masks ready to give information to Rebel as needed.

Rebel: Tell me, Chavo. Which mask fits me best?

He glares at himself in the mirror fixing his hair and preparing to put one of the masks over his head.

Chavo: Sí, señor. Cualquiera de estas mascarillas son ricos en historia

Rebel is scratching his head in confusion as he waits for an English translation.

Rebel: What the hell did you just say?

Chavo: I am sorry, señor, I said these masks are rich in history! Any of them would serve you well.

Rebel: Tell me about this one. It looks pretty hardcore.

Rebel walks over to one of the masks and picks it up off of the mannequin head. It’s black with red and white accent colors surrounding it. Rebel puts it over his hand and takes a good look at it.

Chavo: That one was worn by the legend Hijo del Santo himself. A popular part of Hijo’s career and persona was his mask. It played an important part at keeping his identity hidden from the thralls of Mexican fans that would chase him from town to town.

Rebel slides the mask over his head and tightens it in the back. He glances himself over in the mirror and shakes his head as to say “no.”

Rebel: This one just isn’t me.

Chavo: How about this one?

Chavo walks over to a solid silver mask and pulls it off the mannequin and hands it over to Rebel. It’s completely silver and comes with an all white cape.

Chavo: This one came from “Cyclone” McKey. He was an American lucha libre wrestler and was scouted to come over to wrestle for Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre or the EMLL for short. Our Mexican fan base quickly took to the mysterious form of the masked man and he started a trend that continues even today. Many people believe the masks sprung from the Aztec, Inca or Mayan tradition, however, that was not the case!

Rebel: I don’t like it. It’s squeezing my head!

The mask connoisseur shakes his head and gets back the mask from Rebel. He continues down the list, as there are several to choose from. The next one is light blue with several markers in bright orange and dark silver. It looks eerily similar to the one Nova wears to the ring.

Chavo: Be careful with this one, it’s a classic! The wrestling mask is considered sacred. If it’s removed intentionally from someone who’s wearing it is grounds for disqualification from the match. In my country, if a mask is removed the top priority for that wrestler is to cover up and protect their face from being revealed at all costs.

Rebel, looking curiously, grabs the mask and tries it in. He still looks uncomfortable.

Rebel: What do you think? Does it make me look like a tough guy?

Chavo: The toughest!

Rebel pulls off the mask and tosses it in Chavo’s direction.

Rebel: This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Why on Earth would anybody want to cover their face when they are about to get in the ring? It takes me back an old biblical story. Remember the story about Samson, Nova? When Samson becomes a young adult, he leaves the hills of his people to see the cities of the Philistines; the land of the giants. It’s there where he falls in love with a Philistine woman. Like any good set of parents, they question his intentions and have a hard time accepting Samson to be their future son-in-law. On his way to ask for the young ladies hand in marriage, a lion attacks him. You know what he does, Nova? He rips the lion’s head right off his body. It really is an incredible display of strength.

Rebel holds his hands in the air to reenact the situation.

Rebel: But a man of great strength falls prey to the great seduction of a harlot. He falls in love with Delilah, and as he is courting her she is bought off by the Philistines to help them find out Samson’s great source of strength. He succumbs to her questioning and gives up his source of strength. His golden locks!

Rebel runs his hands through his blonde hair.

Rebel: The key to Samson’s strength was held within the braids on his head. It’s really a tragic story. The Philistines cut Samson’s hair and he’s reduced to a mere man yet again. No strength to draw upon until his hair yet grows out again. In an effort to overcome the grief of his secret being released, he pulls the pillars of the jail where he’s being held captive and kills himself and the others around him. It’s a captivating story, really. There are some parallels to our modern day scenario where Johnny Rebel goes toe to toe with Khoas yet again and Nova.

Rebel does not look enthused.

Rebel: And all week long, I’ve been dealing with the comments by Nova. For some reason, Nova believes he is similar to Samson from our story above. All of the power is vested inside that ridiculous mask. For some reason, Nova believes that the mask is wields some kind of advantage for him. Maybe at some point, the Lucha’ Libre mask might have meant something in the professional world. However, now it’s simple a joke. It’s been used as a prop in horror movies. It’s been used to set world records for the number of people wearing them in one place. They are useless. They wield no special power and give no advantage of anyone in the ring. Nova, it’s time to get real. It’s time to remove the mask and accept who you really are. It’s time to stop playing with the little dolls and masks. You keep pretending and hiding behind the mask; in the meantime, I’ll continue my rise to the top.

Rebel throws the masks down and exits the locker room. Chavo slowly begins picking up the mannequins and putting the masks away in a duffel bag.


Overdrive comes back to ringside with Mr. Dangerous already in the ring

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Already in the ring, MR. DANGEROUS

"Shattered Dreams" By NoFuck plays out over the arena, as the mist suddenly engulfs the stage. Dan steps out thru the mist, dressed in a black duster black jeans and black boots.

Paige: And his opponent, DAN BOCHNER

Face painted as to signify a single red tear on the right side of his face, he struts towards the ring, and rolls underneath the ropes, where he gets up on his feet, and climbs the turnbuckles and criss crosses his arms over his chest and lowers his head praying to an invisible God. Once finished, he stands in the middle of the ring in a silent daze.

Winner: Mr. Dangerous

Mr. Dangeorus is shocked at the victory and rolls out of the ring. The ref follows him to raise his hand and Dan can’t believe it as he starts having a temper tantrum in the ring

Harvey: Mr. Dangerous picks up another win here in APW

Chase: You think we’ll see him in a title match soon

Harvey: Never say never

Mr. Dangerous celebrates as we head backstage

The scene opens backstage where the man known as Khaos stands next to APW Interviewer Hannah Storm. Khaos is dressed in his ring gear and has the impatient body sway of a nervous man getting ready to go into battle.

Hannah: Khaos two weeks ago you lost a hard fought match against “Simply Put” Johnny Rebel…

Khaos: Thanks for reminding me.

Hannah: You are very welcome. The question I have for you tonight is how do you feel going into this rematch?

Khaos: I feel good. Two weeks ago Johnny Rebel caught me in the middle of a deep dark depression. My girlfriend had left me, my best friend died and I lost one hell of a battle against Biggs. Now I know my deep dark blue funk is no excuse for what happened, but to be honest losing to “Simply Put” was the best thing that could ever happen to me.

Hannah: How is a loss the best thing that ever happened to you?

Khaos: Losing is sometimes exactly what a person needs to get their focus back. It re-teaches you what is really important in this business. Most importantly, if you aren’t a perpetual loser like Brian Harvey, it will set you on the path of vengeance.

Hannah: So this match is about revenge for you?

Khaos: This match is all about revenge for me. When a man beats you in this business you want nothing more than to beat him the next time around. When that same man puts on a pre-match performance designed to embarrass and humiliate you, well you find yourself wanting to one up him. Johnny Rebel has made light of my time locked in jail, talking about convicts like we are nothing but cockroaches that he can crush with his shoe. I intend on giving Johnny a little taste of life on the inside.

Hannah: This match is a three way, how do you think newcomer Nova will play into it?

Khaos: I don’t know and frankly I don’t care. No one knows who this masked freak is and personally I think he is just going to get in the way. He said something about this being a battle of David versus Goliath between him and Rebel. I think he’s mistaken because it’s a battle of Goliath versus Goliath with David inside of the ring to get hurt.

Khaos walks off the set and towards the ring.

Harvey: Khaos Vs Nova Vs Johnny Rebel....NEXT!

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage where a bruised C.J. Gates can be seen walking through the hallway when APW backstage reporter Hannah Storm catches up to him.

Hannah: C.J., can I get a word with you?

He pauses mid-step before turning, with a smile and nodding.

Hannah: Well, tonight you're scheduled to take on Diamante Valentine and Sally Talfourd in what could be a tag team match. What are your thoughts on the match?

C.J. Gates: All this is, is another attempt by Sally Talfourd to break my spirit and throw more trash in the faces of the fans. Nothing more and nothing less. She's on this tyrannical power binge and knows that I am the only person that can stop her. That's why she's been setting traps for me, attacking me, and that's why she's managed to swing this match.

Hannah: What do you think the chances are that you will walk out with a win tonight?

Gates chuckles.

C.J. Gates: If Sally and Valentine play by the rules, I might actually stand a chance. But I think everyone and their unborn children knows that they won't do that. We all know that Sally is going to have some sort of scheme planned, some sort of ace tucked up her sleeve. Because that's the sort of person she is. She cheats, she lies, and she won't stop until she's proven her made-up point.

Hannah: You mentioned you were going to try and hunt down a tag team partner. Have you had any luck?

Something off screen catches Gates' sights and a slight smile creeps onto his face.

C.J. Gates: Now that you mention it, I think I have just found a possible tag team partner.

He tips his hat before walking off camera as the scene fades to ringside

Paige: The following match is scheduled for ONE fall!

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.

Paige: 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.

Harvey: Khaos finally broke his losing streak last week and here he comes with malice in his heart.

Chase: Khaos was certainly impressive last week, but this week’s task is MUCH more difficult as he’s taking on not one but two competitors.

"Switchback" by Celldweller begins to play as all of the lights begin to randomly strobe different colors. Nova steps out on to the entrance ramp, calmly, and collectively as he pauses on the entrance ramp, he removes his robe like vest and then begins to march down to the ring. He slaps a few hands of some fans and then as he nears the ring he speeds up and slides under the bottom rope, flipping to a vertical base. He nods his head to the music as he goes over to one of the turnbuckles and jumps on to it, he looks around the crowd, and points at them. As his music dies down he looks over to the entrance ramp then back to Khaos as they wait for their opponent.

Paige: And his Opponent…Weighing in at 210 pounds, he is NOVA!

Harvey: For the first time we get to see this mysterious kid in an APW ring. We don’t really know much about him, but I heard he’s extremely impressive.

Chase: I don’t believe anything until he proves it to me. This kid may be hyped to be the best thing since sliced bread, but that don’t make it so!

#SIMPLY F'N PUT!

A recorded voice comes over the loud speaker and "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple blasts over the PA. Johnny Rebel comes out in a gold robe shimmering in the lights. "SIMPLY PUT" is written in silver on the back. His blonde goatee is neatly trimmed and blonde hair is freshly cut; his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses.

#IT'S TIME TO PRAY THE PRICE!

Paige: And their opponent, from Chicago, Illinois…. He is “Simply Put” Johnny Rebel!

The crowd has come unglued in their hatred for Rebel. He gets to the ring and pulls a camera man down to the ground and on all fours as Rebel uses him as a stepping stone to get in the ring. He takes off his robe to reveal his gold tights and tasseled white boots. He poses on the second turnbuckle with both hands held high.

Harvey: Out comes this jerk who’s definitely been climbing the ladder in APW.

Chase: Jerk? How can you fault a man for being yourself?

Khaos Vs Nova Vs Johnny Rebel

The three men circle around the ring locking their eyes on each other. Finally, Rebel and Khaos look at each other and flash an evil smile. They then charge headlong into Nova. They take turns hitting lefts and rights on him until he is backed into the corner. They continue to pound him over and over again. They both pull him out and deliver a nasty double suplex on him. They deliver a couple well placed stomps.

Harvey: Khaos and Rebel really destroying Nova, taking advantage of him. This is kind of sick.

Chase: Sick? It’s a beautiful masterpiece. They’re eliminating the weaker species before they move on to the real competition.

Harvey: With these two untrustworthy jerks, this won’t last long.

Rebel trying to direct traffic, but Khaos would have none of it. Khaos grabs Nova and says “Watch this” He hooks him and lifts him high in the vertical position before dropping him hard with a vertical suplex. Rebel laughs and says “my turn.” He grabs Nova, lifts him up and plants him hard with a gut wrench powerbomb. He smiles at Khaos who doesn’t take kindly to being shown up. Khaos shoves Rebel Hard. Rebel Shoves back.

Harvey: As I said.

Chase: Shut up!

Khaos and Rebel get into a fist fight with Rebel getting the upper hand at first, but going for a knockout blow which Khaos ducks. He grabs Rebel from behind, turns him around and TOSSES him out of the ring, Rebel landing hard on the outside. He then grabs Nova quickly and hits a T-Bone Suplex. He makes the cover.

Johnny Rebel is back in the ring and drops an elbow to the back of Khaos’ neck. He then pulls Khoas up, spits in his face and tosses him out of the ring. He goes over to Nova, pulls him up and drops him with a side suplex. He climbs the tip rope and hits a diving headbutt. He makes the cover.

And Khaos is there with a save and a kick to the head of Rebel. He pulls Rebel up, but Rebel pushes him off and the two start brawling again.

Right by Khaos!

Left by Rebel!

Left by Khaos!

Right by Rebel!

They continue pounding on each other, neither one getting the upper hand, neither one relenting. Khaos reaches up and GOUGES the eyes of Rebel hard, causing rebel to stumble away. SUDDENLY, Khaos turns around and gets nailed with a Blazing Rush by Nova, and lands hard on the mat. Rebel recovers only to be nailed with a Shining Wizard by Nova as well. The crowd comes alive and gets on their feet, cheering loudly.

Harvey: Some life for Nova there, really getting fired up.

Chase: It’s about time, he was dead for most of the match.

Nova is over to a rising Khaos and kicks him in the gut. He hits the ropes and comes back with a HUGE scizzor kick to the back of his head. Just then, Rebel is back to his feet and grabs Nova by the shoulder, but Nova breaks away from him, kicks him in the guts and hits a suplex. He bridges up for a pin on Rebel.

Khaos goes to break the pin with an elbow drop, but Nova sits up and Khaos crashes into Rebel. Khaos doesn’t care much, but when he stands up, Nova is there behind him with a Backstabber. He then backs up and hits a big jumping knee drop into the forehead of Khaos. He makes a quick cover.

KICKOUT

Nova throws a few mounted punches to the face of Khaos. He pulls Khaos up and hooks him for a suplex. Khaos elbows him in the gut a few times. He hits Nova with a few punches to the face himself, backing him against the ropes. He then charges and hits him with a clothesline, the momentum of which carries them both over the top rope. They both get to their feet slowly slugging it out with one another and don’t see as Rebel is up to his feet. He charges at the ropes and Dives out hitting a suicide plancha on both Khaos and Nova.

Harvey: All three men are laid out on the outside.

Chase: Ballsy move out there by Rebel trying to turn the tides, and the ref is counting them all out.

Finally, Rebel gets up to his feet with Nova and Khaos both. Rebel sees Nova getting up and hits him hard with a superkick. Khaos grabs him and throws him back into the ring. He rolls in after him and Begins to pound down on him with mounted punches until the ref breaks him off. Khaos pulls him up in hits 3 rolling German suplexes on Rebel and goes for a cover.

KICKOUT!

Harvey: Close call there as Rebel barely gets out of the pin attempt.

Chase: Khaos fully in control here. This match is close to over!

Khaos pounds the mat, thinking this was over. He goes around to Rebel’s feet and grabs his ankle locking n the ankle lock. He grapevines the leg and wrenches back as Rebel screams and pounds on the mat clawing for the ropes that are WAY too far away. Meanwhile, Nova stirs on the outside and sees what’s going on in the ring. The ref is asking Rebel if he wants to quit. Rebel says no, and tries to get to the ropes, but Khaos stands up, pulls him far away again and re grapevines the leg. Rebel has no choice and his hand is close to tapping out.

Chase: It’s over! It’s Over!

Suddenly, Nova comes off the top Rope with an elbow to Khaos who is forced to break the hole.

Harvey: NO! What a move out of desperation from Nova!

Nova grabs Khaos and takes him down with a quick DDT. He stands up and calls for the Blaze of Glory. He pulls up Khaos and hooks him. LOW BLOW from Johnny Rebel who finally gets to his knees. He gets to his feet an… SUPERKICK to Khoas. Gut-Wrench to Nova, and Rebel is the only man standing. He covers Khaos.

He pounds the mat, thinking that he had him. He pulls up Nova and whips him into the corner. He pulls up Khaos and whips him into Nova. He charges with a full head of steem and hits a jumping body splash right on Khaos squishing him into Nova who seems to be out in the corner. Rebel rewinds and charges again hitting another avalanche. Nova stumbles out and falls face first onto the mat. Rebel grabs Khaos and Hooks him for “The PutDown”, but Khaos manages to roll out of it and slides out of the ring. But Rebel follows him out, grabs him from behind, and throws him head first into the ring post…NO! Khaos stops it with his foot and elbows Rebel in the face. The two of them start brawling again.

Harvey: Theres no stopping these two.

Chase: They’ve all but forgotten about Nova and are trying to tear each other apart.

Back inside the ring, the Ref has had enough. He checks on Nova trying to get to his feet then goes over to the ropes yelling at the two to get back in the ring. But their fighting has them ignoring the ref so the Ref shrugs and starts counting.

Harvey: I guess he’s making his own rules up now. He’s lost control of this match and this is his way of taking it back. He is the ref chase.

DING DING DING!!!

The ref calls for the bell then explains to Paige and Nova what happens. He then Raises Nova’s hand! Nova looks disappointed, happy, but disappointed.

Paige: The Winner by Countout…NOVA!

Chase: IT’S NOT FAIR! IT’S NOT FAIR!

Harvey: Come on Chase…this kid just won a hard fought battle to win his debut match. My hat’s off to him!

Chase: He WON by countout…a cheap countout.!

Nova has his hand raised and then exit’s the ring. Khaos and Rebel continue to brawl at ringside and Khaos is able to knock Rebel down. Khaos Desperately he wipes sweat from his eyes with the hem of his shirt before ducking his head under the apron. A few seconds pass as he searches for something and when he comes out he has in his hands some sort of metal tool with the handle made of white athletic tape. A psychotic grin is painted on his face as he stands and rolls back inside of the ring.

Harvey: What in the world does Khaos have in his hands. It looks to be some sort of homemade tool or a weapon.

Chase: He did promise he was going to teach Johnny Rebel a lesson about being inside prison. Could it be a shank?

Khaos jumps to his feet and silently sneaks up behind “Simply Put” with the weapon in hand. He applies a sleeper like choke hold with his left arm and brings the sharpened screwdriver to Johnny Rebel’s face with his right. The Chi-town native desperately tries to free himself from the obviously insane Natural Born Killer as a trickle of blood begins to flow from his cheek.

Harvey: We need security out here right now. Khaos has snapped and he is about to seriously injure Johnny Rebel.

Chase: He’s going to shank him! Khaos is really going to shank him!

The referee calls for the bell again and again and he tries to talk Khaos into releasing his grip. The admonishment doesn’t seem to faze the wrestler as he desperately tries to choke out the weakening Johnny Rebel. The referee pleads with the Motown native but in the midst of blood lust as he simply draws the screwdriver across the face of “Simply Put” opening up a wide gash.

Harvey: Johnny Rebel has been cut. Can we please get some help out here before Khaos injuries him anymore!

As if on queue a herd of uniformed security guards come running down the ramp along with an EMT. Khaos just smiles at them sickly as he releases his choke hold allowing Rebel to collapse to the canvas like a sack of flour. Blood instantly begins to pour from the face of Rebel staining the canvas red. Nonchalantly the big man from the Motorcity slips the shank into his boot and begins walking up the ramp as if taking a stroll in the park. Boos from the Canadian crowd rain down over him as some of them go as far as to throw empty cups and food wrappers in his direction. The Natural Born Killer keeps smiling, perfectly happy in his own world.

The shot focuses in on the EMT treating the lacerated face of Johnny Rebel and you can read his lips saying, “He’s going to need stitches.” Then the scene fades to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Overdrive comes back from commercial with a shot Johnny Rebel being loaded into an ambulance. President Jeff is on sight watching one of his Megastars being taken to the hospital. The ambulance drives away and just as President Jeff walks away, Khaos shows up with a grin on his face

Khaos: How’d you like my work

Jeff looks at Khaos not impressed

Jeff: Its one thing to hate a guy and attack him, but its another for causing one of my megastars to be sent to the damn hospital.

Khaos: Well, It is what it is

Jeff: You think so huh? Well, I got some news for you. As you should be well aware. I’ve been keeping a close eye on everyone. Keeping tabs, and you we’re on of the guys on my radar to be in the Test for the Best tournament.

Khaos: Is that so.

Jeff: That is so. So you will be in the Test for the Best tournament, but don’t think of this as a reward for your actions here tonight. Because your first round opponent. Will be….JOHNNY REBEL.

Khaos: You think that bothers me?

Jeff: I’m sure it doesn’t, but right now, I know for a fact that Johnny Rebel isn’t happy being taken to the hospital and at Test for the Best, he’s going to love getting his hands on you.

Khaos: Tonight I send Johnny to the hospital. At Test for the Best, I will send him there again, but permanently.

Jeff walks away leaving Khaos with a smile on his face and we go back to ringside


Paige: The following match is scheduled for ONE fall!

The beginning of BMF airs through the area for a couple of seconds building anticipation.

Paige: Coming to the ring first…weighing in at 220 lbs…representing Washington, D.C. and accompanied to the ring by J.R. Kingston and Damian Walker…YOUNG MANNIE!

Young Mannie pulls a Black&Mild or a blunt from behind his ear, he lights it and the arena lights cut off as he walks down the ramp as his entire outfit glows in the dark as he holds his hands out while puffing smoke in the air, While the crowd sings the lyrics of the song at the top of their lungs.

Paige: And his opponent…weighing in at 237 lbs…representing Las Vegas, NV and accompanied to the ring by Bobby Bodacious…THE GAMBLER!

The lights dim as the opening notes begin playing. Spotlights show reflections of playing cards along the entrance. Gambler, wearing a jacket with an Ace of Hearts of Jack of Diamonds, takes his time strolling out to the ring, deck of cards between both hands. At random intervals, Gambler tosses a few cards at members of the audience. When Gambler makes it to the ring, he slides under the bottom rope. Gambler goes to one knee while reaching into a jacket pocket, pulling out a pair of die. Gambler rolls the die on the mat, getting a "7" from the roll. The lights come all the way on as Gambler gets to both feet.

Harvey: Things could interesting quick with these two! You can never count out J.R. Kingston and Damian Walker!

The Gambler w/Bobby Bodacious vs. Young Mannie w/JR Kingston & Damian Walker

The referee calls for the bell and the match is underway. Young Mannie wastes no time and attacks The Gambler before his jacket even comes off. He unleashes a flurry of right hands and rips Gambler’s jacket off, tossing it in to the crowd. Mannie whips him in to the ropes and unleashes a tough clothesline that sends Gambler down to the mat. He picks up Gambler by the hair and scoops him up for a body slam. He bounces off the ropes and leaps high in to the hair, delivering a powerful right hand to his opponent’s forehead. The crowd lets their true feelings for Mannie known as he struts around the ring taunting Bobby Bodacious at ringside. Mannie picks up a groggy Gambler and delivers a quick snap DDT in the center of the ring as Mannie goes for the cover:

KICKOUT!

Both men are back to their feet and Mannie takes to much time to get back in to the action and Gambler catches him with a kick to the stomach. Mannie is hunched over as his opponent gives him a double axe-handle to the back of the neck causing Mannie to crumple to the ground. The Gambler runs off the ropes on the other side of the ring while the referee checks on Mannie; but J.R. Kingston grabs his leg and the Gambler falls face down on the mat. The referee looks up to see Gambler holding his nose and immediately runs over to Kingston and Walker and gives them a warning. Bodacious is up on the apron protesting as the referee tells him to get back down. Both men get back to their feet as Mannie charges but is caught with the Bankroll (crooked-arm lariat). The Gambler makes his second attempt at running to the ropes, this time away from the RSM, and leans forward with a dropkick to a downed Mannie. Bodacious gives him the thumbs up as Mannie is stretched out on the apron with one arm hanging off the mat. The Gambler picks him up from inside the ring and hooks him in a suplex position. He attempts to bring Mannie back in the ring the hard way but Mannie blocks. He goes for a second attempt but again is denied. Mannie counters with a suplex to the outside as both men come crashing down hard on the outside.

Harvey: Impressive display of strength from Young Mannie! Here is where things get hair with both men on the outside. RSM and Bodacious are lurking!

Both men are back up and ready to continue the action. Mannie delivers several rights to the head of the Gambler. He Irish-whips him in to the guardrail as the crowd groans at the sound of the thud Gambler’s back makes against the steel. Mannie sprints towards a stumbling Gambler and hits a perfectly executed dropkick, again sending Gambler against the cold hard steel. Bodacious is over to check on his teammate as Mannie grabs him by the shoulder and throws him out of the way as the referee steps in between them before they come to blows. Mannie keeps pushing the effort as J.R. Kingston and Walker have made their way over to the Gambler and are putting the boots to him. They roll a limp Gambler in to the ring as Mannie rolls back in leaving a distraught Bodacious on the outside.

Harvey: I can’t believe these thugs are going to get away with this gang attack!

Chase: Oh Harvey, shut-up. RSM isn’t a gang – they are a Mafia!

Mannie grabs an arm of the Gambler and applies an armbar. He wrenches it tightly as the Gambler screams out in pain. Mannie sweeps the leg of his opponent and applies a grapevine to the downed Gambler. He continues to hold on tight as the referee checks to see if the Gambler can continue. He raises his hand once but it drops…twice…and finally, a third time but Gambler holds it up at the last second. Mannie lets go of the grapevine but goes back to work on the arm, twisting it several times. The RSM member is in complete control of the match as he sends the Gambler in to the ropes and prepares for a back body drop. The Gambler, using some of that elder wisdom sees it in advance and leaps over for a sunset flip and goes for the quick cover:

KICKOUT!

Young Mannie uses both legs to sandwhich the head of the Gambler. Mannie is up before his opponent and stomps a few times in to his shoulder. He walks over to the corner and sits on the top turnbuckle waiting for his opponent to get to his feet. Mannie comes leaping off the ropes with a double axe-handle attempt but is met with a right hand right to his gut. The Gambler has found his second wind as he picks up Mannie and delivers a move he calls the Craps (Michinoku driver). The Gambler attempts a quick pin attempt:

KICKOUT!

Mannie kicks out at the last possible second! As his opponent is lying on the ground, the Gambler goes over and applies a single-leg Boston crab. He grabs on to the top rope for a little added leverage as the referee gives him a five-count to let go. RSM hops up in protest as Bodacious has seen enough and hops on the top turnbuckle leaping with a flying cross body on to Kingston and Walker on the apron. All three men are lying unconscious on the ring floor.

Chase: All hell has broken loose! You were right, Harvey!

Harvey: The Gambler has taken complete control of the match and without the RSM to back up Mannie, this one could be over quick!

The Gambler looks over on the outside to check on Bodacious. Mannie is back up as he charges but Gambler moves out of the way at the last minute as Mannie is draped over the top rope. The Gambler grabs Mannie by the ankles and yanks backwards as Mannie goes flying and comes crashing down face first on the mat. The Gambler gets on the second turnbuckle and comes crashing down with a legdrop on the back of Mannie’s neck. Mannie is rolling around the ring kicking his legs as he holds the back of his head in pain.

The Gambler takes his time getting over to Young Mannie and stops by to check on Bodacious again. His partner is back up on his feet as the RSM Mafia is starting to stir again. The Gambler makes his way back to Mannie, and after taking too much time, Mannie has gained some composure and plucks the Gambler right in the eye. Mannie taking advantage of this moment, bounces against the ropes and takes out Bobby Bodacious with a suicide dive. He gets up quickly and gets back in to the ring. Damien Walker is up on the apron to get the referees attention as Kingston slides into the ring with Brass Knuckles. The Gambler grabs Mannie and sets him up with the Canadian Destroyer. Kingston sneaks in behind Gambler. He clocks the in the back of the head with it. The Gambler goes down, Kingston slides out of the ring, Mannie goes for the cover and Damian jumps off the apron and the ref slides in with the count

[/color]

Harvey: The numbers game is what got the Mafia the win tonight

Chase: Those brass knuckles got the best of the Gambling Superstars last week, and now again this week

The Red Shield Mafia celebrate their victory. Bobby Bodacious has a chair and slides into the ring. The Mafia are quick to exit the ring. Bobby checks on his partner as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

We come back from commercial, finding ourselves back at ringside. APW’s most entertaining duo have been awaiting their cue.

Harvey: Welcome back to Action Packed Wrestling Overdrive, ladies and gentleman! It has been an action-packed night thus far, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon!

Chase: We’ve still got plenty more action to go, and even better, I think that fine female over there in section “A” wants me, Harv!

Harvey: Who?

Chase: That one, right there.

Harvey: The one with chin hair? You’re into that kind of thing, go for it!

Chase: Wait! What? NO! Any… Anyway, let’s get going here! Do your job! Don’t worry about me and what I like.

All of the sudden, 'Nemesis' by Cradle of Filth hits on the PA system as purple strobe lights flicker around the arena.

Harvey: Well, I guess I’ll do my job by calling this an UNscheduled visit by the Enforcer of Sorrow.

Nathaniel Havok steps out from the back with his head facing the ground, hair dripping wet. He stares at the ground for about 5 seconds, before throwing both arms in the air, spitting water out of his mouth, as fire-like pyro explodes around him.

Chase: As if Nathaniel Havok would ever need to be penciled into this show! Havok equals ratings, you know? It’s a proven fact!

Harvey: If you say so, but what’s his business out here?

He gives a sadistic grin before sprinting to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope. He pops up off the mat and runs right for the far right turnbuckle. With a graceful leap, he lands on the second rope and throws his hands in the air once again. He hops down and stands in the corner as Nicky Paige hands him a mic. She exit’s the ring, and his music dies out. The house lights come on, and Havok stands waiting for the fans to stop booing him.

Havok: Have you people no common sense? Have you no class or respect? Havok you no intelligence? Give me a break, people. Do you really want to boo the man who has pulled this lackluster wrestling program out of obscurity (two times now, I might add)? Did I do it for me? No, I did it for you! So do you really want to boo me?

The fans boo louder.

Havok: Face it! Face it, people! Before I came to APW, it was heading downhill fast! I stepped in and brought it back up! I leave, and right back down to the shits it went! But low and behold, Nathaniel Havok returns, and ratings have never been better!

The fans bring their hatred to an even higher pitch.

Havok: You people despise me because I’m everything that you‘re not! I come into your homes each and every week via television screen, and you can’t help but stay glued to your tube, every time you seem this face! You all know damn well that I’m the greatest in-ring performer in the history of this business! Furthermore, I know that it kills each and everyone of you to admit it. And while you might never admit it, you’ll never deny it either!

Nathaniel smirks at the fans who are seething, saying all kinds of nasty things directed at the Enforcer of Sorrow.

Havok: But I’m not out here to talk about you pieces of trash. No. I’m out here to talk about a particular piece of trash, who just happens to own this failure of a company.

The fans boo once again.

Havok: Jeff, did you really think it would work? Honestly, I thought you were just a tad bit more intelligent than that. You should have known that using Diamante Valentine as a distraction, wouldn’t throw me off my game. You had Whitehead waiting in the back, didn’t you? You gave Whitehead strict orders to attack only when I was at my weakest, didn’t you? Too bad for you, that weak point never came, did it? Therefore, you decided after the match was over, to spoil my victory party. Good job, you and your giant male lover got one over on me.

Nathaniel lays the mic down on the mat below, and begins clapping his hands. The fans don’t seem entertained, and boo the Enforcer of Sorrow, yet again. Nathaniel finishes with his slow clap, and picks the mic back up off the mat below.

Havok: Jeff, come on. The show’s over. The curtain has fallen, and you’ve been exposed. Last week, Whitehead openly admitted via promo, that he knew we were going to be going at it at Test for the Best. So tell me Jeff, if you didn’t make that match and tell him, then who did? Who did, Jeff? Tell me! Please!

The fans quickly stop booing, as President Jeff comes out to the ramp. As he walks down the ramp, he never takes his eyes off of Havok.

Jeff: Come on, Nathaniel! This is absolutely insane!

Jeff slides into the ring.

Jeff: I have nothing to do with Whitehead! What don’t you understand about that?

Havok: Really? So, he’s just going around making matches himself? That’s what you’re trying to tell me?

Jeff: I don’t know who he thinks that he is, but I never made that match. Now, reflecting back on what happened last week, I’m guessing that you’re wanting a rematch with him?

Havok: I want his career!

Jeff: Very well. You’ve got it. However, you need to slow down and realize what he’s doing to you, before he beats your brains out at the pay per view. He wants you to think we’re working together, Nathaniel. If anything, I’d like to be able to work with the both of you, to further advance this company, and your careers.

Havok: What are you trying to say, Jeff? My career needs no assistance from you to advance! I mean, look at it this way…
…Why would I need the help of Hurricane Jeff? Hurricane Jeff was the man who played second best to Nathaniel Havok, just a short time ago. Now days I’m still wrestling, and you’re, well, you’re not.

The fans let out an “OH!” as Nathaniel Havok might have touched a sensitive subject.

Jeff: Yeah, well, at least when I was told I was slowing down, I knew to stop…
…Rather than make a mockery of my career.

This time, the fans let out a big cheer for the company President. Havok gets in the face of the APW Owner, but Jeff just simply backs up.

Jeff: You don’t want to go there, Havok. Trust me. However, I am going to do just a few things to make sure that this little tiff between you and Jacob Whitehead, comes to an end at Test for the Best! Number one, Elizabeth is banned from ringside. Number two, let’s throw in a match stipulation. How about a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH. No pin Falls, no Submission. Only way to win, beat your opponent to the point where he can‘t answer the 10 count. So no excuses for the loser.

Havok: I don’t use excuses! Whitehead lost to me, remember?

Jeff: Fair enough, but a Last Man Standing Match nonetheless. But there’s just one more thing…
…To prove to everyone once and for all that President Jeff isn’t playing on anyone’s side, I will be the special guest referee!

The fans go ballistic with joy as Havok stands in the ring, dumbfounded.

Jeff: Well, how about it, Havok?

Havok: Are you kidding me? Me, you, and Whitehead? Last Man Standing? How do I not know that this isn’t just a plan for the two of you to isolate me? Alone in a match with a giant and his little boyfriend? I don’t know Jeff, I smell something fishy here.

Havok looks around.

Havok: And seeing as how Elizabeth isn’t anywhere around us, I’d have to guess that it’s coming from you!

Jeff: No, not at all, Havok. I’m asserting myself into this Last Man Standing match to prove to everyone that I have had nothing to do with either of you, since the beginning of all of this! I’m sick and tired of the two of you going at it week after week! I never wanted to be dragged into this, and I’m not going to let this go on forever! So I’ll call the match down the middle, the best man will win, and we’ll all move on with our lives!

Havok: Sure. Then you and Whitehead can finally concentrate on your relationship, right? Who knows, maybe you two could run off to San Francisco together!

Some fans laugh, and some fans boo, but they all stand to their feet as they see Whitehead running down the ramp. Havok turns around in the ring, and sees the giant charging down the ramp.

Harvey: Here he comes! He’s heard enough!

Chase: Get him, Nathaniel! Get him!

Whitehead, with a full head of steam, leaps and slides in through the bottom rope. All of the sudden, the lights go out. Immediately, the lights come back on. Whitehead is to his feet, ready to attack. Jeff is still standing in the same position he was in previously. However, Nathaniel Havok, is nowhere to be found.

Harvey: What the hell! Where in the hell did he go?

Chase: He’s done it again! Nathaniel Havok has once again pulled off the great escape! What a genius!

Whitehead stands in the ring ready for a fight, as Jeff stands across the ring staring him down. Whitehead takes a second to look around. He walks around the ring, checking all sides, and then rolls out of the ring and checks under. After not finding Nathaniel, Jacob climbs back onto the apron, and gets back into the ring. The microphone that Nathaniel was once holding, is laying in the middle of the ring. Jacob picks it up, walks over to Jeff, gets in his face, and smiles.

Whitehead: You know Jeff, you two, you and Havok, you’re both real REAL creative. Good stuff, it really is. But Jeff, when I get my hands on him, I’m going to break him. Fair warning.

Whitehead smirks in the face of President Jeff. He backs up a little and begins to chuckle. He exit’s the ring and begins to back up the ramp, never taking his eyes off of the APW owner. He points at President Jeff, and once again puts the microphone to his lips.

Whitehead: Right down the middle!

Commercial

[President Jeff]

We cut backstage where Cindy Shannon is standing with Nova

Cindy: Hello there, Cindy Shannon here with Nova...one of the newest members of APW's Overdrive Franchise. Nova, how does it feel to be here in the APW?

The camera pans over to see Nova standing there next to Cindy, his face hidden by a mask, but even the mask can not hide his excitement.

Nova: I'm pumped up, Cindy. This is nothing like a house show... going out there in front of the fans and hearing them calling your name in unanimous symphony is just...its just insane!

Cindy: You had a very good showing out there tonight, picking up a victory.

Nova: Thank you, it was really the product of hard work and dedication to improve my over all skill set. Tonight was a good night to come out and show APW what I intend to do and I did exactly what I had to do.

Cindy: Now, some are very confused by you...you are pretty mysterious and apparently you have no memories of who you are, but we want to know...the fans and myself...what you think you are adding to the equation by coming here to APW.

Nova nods his head and then begins to speak.

Nova: Integrity. Everyone in this company is either corrupt or near the point of being corrupt. No one here is really who they really are, but me, and it is obvious. The fact is the people out there need some one who can legitimately be who he is and not hold back. And I'm that guy. I'm the same in the ring as I'm outside the ring and I hope that I may be able to lead by example here by setting up a form of morale code that is easy to follow and that code is to simply just do the right thing even if the wrong option is the shortest path to the end of the rainbow.

Cindy: Well thank you for your time, Nova.

Nova: It was my pleasure, Cindy.

The camera returns to ring side where another match is about to begin



Paige: The following match is scheduled for one fall.

The arena is anxious as the crowd goes quiet, the camera zooming in on the video screen where the handsome face of Diamante Valentine can be seen slicking back his hair and laughing. Suddenly the silence is broken by Shaman's Harvest's "Broken Dreams", followed by loud boos from males and big cheers from females as APW Xtreme Champion Diamante Valentine steps through the curtain with his head held high.

Paige: Introducing first, hailing from Venice, Italy...he is the APW Xtreme Champion...DIAMANTE VALENTINE!

Wearing his long black sleeveless trenchcoat and shades, Valentine makes his way down the ramp, stopping to kiss a female on the hand, causing her to faint and fall. He walks up the ring steps, slicking his hair back as he does, before stepping through the ropes.

Harvey: Valentine has been showing his true colors as of late, joining Sally Talfourd in her attacks of C.J. Gates.

Chase: But he's the Xtreme champion, Harvey, he's just doing what Xtreme champions do.

An eerie music comes across the PA. Soft, at first, drowned out by the audience Then, as it grows, the fans die down. They start to look around, and, as it dies out, on the last note, the lights switch off and the arena is plunged into darkness.

This is what I brought you
This you can keep,
This is what I brought
You may forget me.
I promise to depart
Just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

The beat kicks in. The fans let out a chorus of boo's, hidden in the darkness. Three spotlights light up the path to the ring: One on the curtains, one at the foot of the ramp, and one in the centre of the ring. A wait. A long wait until there's movement. Into the first spotlight, from backstage, steps the immeasurable and incomparable Sally Talfourd. A pose for the audience, running her hands through her hair, then throwing out her arms. Then she kicks up a leg as walks out of the light, into the darkness.

This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve.

Sally next appears in the second spotlight, at the base of the ramp. She stops, looks left and looks right. She then shakes here head and lets out a laugh at them all. She stops abruptly, then stares down to the ring. At her ring. She then looks herself up and down and heads down to the final spotlight.

I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

Finally, after taking longer than she needed, Sally appears in the centre of the ring.

Paige: And his partner, from Seattle, Washington...SALLY TALFOURD!

She poses again for the crowd, then, as her arms go out again, the lights come back to normal. Sally gestures to herself in an effort to show the audience what perfection really looks like. She climbs up the centre of the ropes, hanging over them to look out at all the poor saps that paid to see her tonight.

Harvey: Sally has been doing all that she can to get under the skin of C.J. Gates, to force him to give up and admit that she is the better wrestler, but C.J. keeps coming back for more.

Chase: He might have been hit one too many times in the head, if you ask me. No way would I be jumping back in the fire week after week.

“Shooting Star” by Black Stone Cherry begins to play as the fans cheer loudly. C.J. Gates makes his way out of the back wearing his trademark cowboy hat and “Go Big or Go Home” T-shirt, while still showing some wear and tear of the previous few weeks. He bounces around slightly at the entrance a bit before moving towards the ring.

Paige: And their opponent, hailing from Fargo, North Dakota...C.J. GATES!

Gates pauses at the bottom of the ramp, and gets a microphone, smirking up at Sally and Valentine who are both sneering at him from inside the ring, poised and ready to strike.

C.J. Gates: You thought you had me, didn't you, Sally? You figured that after the past few weeks, no one was going to step up to provide me with some back up. That you would be able to just pick away at me in this match tonight, right?

The fans boo as Sally shouts out at him.

Sally: Get to the point.

C.J. Gates: The point? Well, the point is that earlier, you said that if I was lucky enough to find a partner, then you would agree to making this a tag team match. And, if you ask me, I think I managed to find the perfect tag team partner.

Gates lowers the microphone as Sally rolls her eyes and leans against the far ropes, showing how uninterested she is, but she is quickly cut off.



As "Raining Blood" by Slayer continues to play, and the fans cheer as Hurricane Jeff stands at the top of the ramp, nodding his head to all the screaming fans in the arena, Sally shakes her head no, staring a hole through the now smiling C.J. Gates. Jeff makes his way down the ramp and pauses with Gates at the bottom of the ramp, where the two give each other a high five. They both look toward the ring before running and sliding in under the bottom rope, always keeping an eye on Sally and Valentine.

Sally Talfourd/Diamante Valentine vs. C.J. Gates/Hurricane Jeff

The bell rings and Gates starts off against Valentine. They lock up and Valentine uses his size advantage to push Gates into the ropes, until the ref forces them to break it up. As the ref moves out of the way, Valentine slaps Gates across the face and sneers at him before taking him down with a headlock takedown, and driving a quick elbow into the chest of Gates. He hauls the smaller man up and hooks up his arm before hitting a hip toss, and locking in a sleeper hold.

He holds it for a bit before releasing the head and standing up, driving a kick into the spine of the high flyer. He waits for Gates to get up and then runs in, driving a knee into the side of Gates' head and sending him rolling across the ring. Gates begins to use the ropes to get up, and Valentine runs in with a kick to the exposed ribs.

Harvey: Valentine is disecting Gates and keeping him grounded.

Chase: It's his best strategy if he wants to pick up a victory.

Sally smiles as Valentine kicks Gates again before picking him up and hitting a snap suplex. He picks Gates up and takes him to his corner and tags in Sally, before holding his arm up, allowing Sally to kick him in the ribs herself. She then sends Gates across the ring and catches him on the rebound with a flying clothesline, quickly getting to her feet and as Gates gets up, she hits him with a swinging DDT and goes for a cover.

1...


2..KICK OUT!

Harvey: This match has been quite one sided, and you have to wonder if Gates was the best choice to start.

Chase: He's got things to prove, Harvey. I'm sure he felt like he could get things done.

Sally is quick to her feet and picks Gates up, but Gates manages to punch his way away from her. She moves back in and now Gates fires a few punches into her head and sends her off the ropes. On the rebound, though, she ducks under his clothesline, and as Gates turns around to attack her, she hits him with a nice running big boot.

Chase: How's that for sole food!

Harvey: The pin!

1...


2...KICK OUT!

Gates is slow to his feet and Sally is waiting for him. She sends him off the ropes and as he comes back, she drops down and pulls the top rope, causing Gates to spill out, but he manages to maintain his balance, and lands on his feet. Sally, unaware, gets to her feet, in time for Gates to reach in and pull her feet out from under her. He is quick (or as quick as he can) to slide into the ring and quickly make his way over to tag in Jeff.

The crowd erupts into cheers as the President of APW enters the ring and meets Sally in the middle of the ring. They exchange some punches before Jeff sends Sally into the ropes. On the rebound he hits a huge dropkick, before picking her back up and whipping her into the ropes again. As she hits, Valentine makes the not so blind tag, and Jeff takes Sally down with a spinebuster, before getting up right into a flurry of kicks and punches from Valentine. But Jeff battles back and eventually raises a knee into Valentines gut and then takes him down with a quick leg sweep.

Harvey: President Jeff is still showing that he has what it takes.

Chase: The last time we saw him in action, he was doing his best to bring home glory for Team APW at Rasslemania.

Both men are up and move in, but Jeff takes Valentine down with a clothesline, and then takes him down with another. After a third, Jeff waits for Valentine to get up and dropkicks him back down before dropping a leg drop across his throat and going for a pin.

KICK OUT!

Jeff is quick on the draw whipping Valentine into the ropes and dropping him with a back drop. He picks him up and tosses him into the corner, looking for a suplex off the top, but Valentine punches his way out and shoves Jeff off the top, leaping off and hitting a dropkick of his own. He picks Jeff up and hits him with a huge STO and a pin to follow.

KICK OUT!

Harvey: Both men seem to have a lot left in their tanks.

Jeff and Valentine both get up, and Valentine moves in, but Jeff ducks under and around, grabbing Valentine from behind and dropping him onto his knees in a backbreaker-like move. Jeff is up and tags in Gates who readies himself on the apron and leaps up, hitting a springboard DDT on Valentine for the pin.

BROKEN UP BY SALLY!

Frustrated, she hauls Gates up and hits him with a few chops before a running clothesline takes them both over the top rope. Sally lands on her feet and picks Gates up, tossing him into the barricade before sliding back into the ring and heading back to her corner. Valentine is getting up and she calls for the tag, and he obliges, tagging Sally in.

Gates is regaining himself on the outside and Sally struts over before hitting a forearm shot on him to stun him, and then quickly hits another before pulling him through the ropes. She smirks over at Jeff before setting up Gates.

Harvey: Looks like she's going for The Makeover.

But before she can hit it, Gates dodges her attempt and fires at her with a back heel kick. He hits her with a dropsault as she rises, before picking her up again and hooking her up for a double arm DDT. Sally breaks out though and bounces off the ropes, ducking under Gates' clothesline and comes back and hits Gates with a reverse STO!

Harvey: The Makeover! This could be over!

Sally goes for the pin!

KICK OUT! And just as Jeff was getting near to breaking it up.

Sally looks annoyed and shakes her head. She trades words with the ref, yelling him into a corner. Gates crawls his way to the corner, but Nero dives through the ropes and catches his ankle before he can get close enough to tag out. He drags him towards the centre of the ring, then lays in some stomps to make sure that he gets some damage in. The ref finally gets away from Sally and screams at Nero to get out. Nero flips him off then goes back to his corner. Sally, now with Gates again, pulls back on one arm. CJ is quick to tuck his right arm under him, knowing what comes if Sally is able to get a hold of it. She slaps his back, strikes at his forearm, but can't get that arm out for the curb stomp. CJ, quickly, manages to pull Sally down with the arm she's got. She rolls over the mat, makes her feet, then is taken down quickly by a clotheslines as CJ explodes from his crouch. CJ dives for his corner, over Sally, and makes the tag to Sally.

Harvey: Sally and Jeff squaring off again. The crowd sure seems to love these two big names getting in together.

Before the crowd can get too excited, Sally makes a scramble towards her corner. Jeff is after her, but she's too fast and just tags in Nero. Nero, still a bit dazed from his last encounter with the President, slowly steps through the ropes. Sally sits down on the mat, collapsing onto the bottom rope. She yells some abuse at Jeff, but he's not taking the bait to go after her. Nero and Jeff circle in the ring, lock up. No, not quite. Nero in with a knee to the gut. He goes for a suplex. Reversed! Nero hits the mat, Jeff rolling into a pin.
1...

2...

Kicking out! Nero gets the shoulder up. Jeff is off, puts some distance between the two. Nero is up, Jeff hits the rope. He comes off, looking for a bulldog. Nero rolls over the mat, comes off near the ropes, then launches Jeff belly-to-back suplex. Jeff hits the mat. Nero goes in for the pin.

1 …

2 .. kick out!

Jeff powers out. Nero looks frustraed, looks over to Sally who has been barking (largely ignored) orders at Nero this whole time. He pulls Jeff to his feet, lifts him up … Olympic Slam! Nero is up to his feet. Elbow drop to the chest of Jeff. Jeff rolls over on the mat, trying to get away. Nero is having none of it, goes in for the attack. He pulls the President up, pushes him back to the corner. Then he whips him clear across the ring, going to follow him in with a clothesline. Jeff is still too quick, darts up the ropes to the turnbuckle, then comes off with a leg lariat. Nero goes down to the mat. Jeff rolls through, runs to the ropes, comes off the second with a leg drop across the Xtreme Champion. He grabs a leg, rolls into a pin.

1 …

2 …

Sally breaks the pin! He hits a dropkick to the side of Jeff's head, which seems to be effective in breaking up a pin. The crowd is all boo's. The ref tries to get her out. CJ is climbing through the ropes. Sally quickly spins the ref around to see CJ, then runs back to her own corner. The ref has to deal with CJ and Nero groggily pulls himself up and brings Jeff back to their corner. Nero props him up, then tags Sally in. Nero holds Jeff back with a sleeper through the ropes as Sally stands behind the ref, taunting CJ. She gestures for him to come and get her. She says all sorts of things and it seems to work enough. CJ tries to climb over the ref to get her. She steps back, turns to Nero, telling him to let Jeff go. He manages to stagger forward, and right into an Implant Buster from Sally! The double knee facebreaker sends Jeff down to the mat. Sally rolls over and then comes up on her knees to eye off CJ who is getting back to his place. She smiles at him, gives him a wave, then goes in for the pin … well, she would if Jeff wasn't waiting. Sally turns into a stiff hit to the face. She reels back, and then into another one, this time to the chin. She scampers away from the waiting Jeff.

Harvey: Sally really underestimated the President there. It takes a lot more to take down a veteran like the boss.

Sally pulls herself in between the nearest bottom and second rope, screeching for the ref to get control of Jeff. Jeff is up to his feet, into the fighting stance. Sally is careful, and slow, to get herself up. She stares at CJ, tells the ref to keep his eye on him, then comes in after Jeff. Ducks the lock-up. Comes up behind. Goes for a backhand chop. Jeff ducks, goes under, hits the ropes, comes off with a clothesline. This time Sally ducks, goes for a spinning wheel kick. Misses. Jeff is back, goes to lock Sally in for a belly-to-belly. Sally squirms enough to slip down. Hooks one of Jeff's legs and trips him up. She goes in for a headlock. Locks it on. Jeff counters, turning it into a pin.

1 …

2 …

Sally shifts enough weight forward to break the pin. She moves around, changes side. Again, Jeff counters into a pin.

1 …

2 …

Sally shifts weight again, breaking the pin. She modifies the lock, has an arm around Jeff's neck to roll him over into her own pin.

1 …

2 …

Kick out. Sally is up quickly. Jeff rolls through, getting distance between the two. Change in. Lock up. Jeff with an arm lock. Forced Sally back down to the mat. He reaches around, trying for a headlock. Sally hooks Jeff's arm, pulling him over to the mat. Sally in with leg scissors around Jeff's chest. Not the worst move to find yourself in. She moves around so that Jeff is on his back, Sally straddling him. Jeff's shoulders are down.

1 …

2 …

Jeff sits up … and right into a forearm strike to the face. Sally with some of Jeff's own medicine. He goes back to the mat, but is careful not not stay down for long enough to start a count. Sally goes for another strike. Jeff catches her left arm, pulls it over to the right, and forces her off. Sally rolls through. Jeff comes out, sucking in deep breaths. She grabs Jeff's arm while he's regaining himself. Foot under the jaw … inverted stomp facebreaker! Jeff reels back, hits the mat. All this wrestling has tired Sally out as she falls to her knees then starts to gather herself again. She finally rolls over to Jeff for a pin.

1 …

2 …

Kick out! Still not enough to put Jeff away. She rolls over, kneels beside him. Slap across the face! Sally mouths off to her boss (what other job can you do that in?) and then strolls over to her corner to tag out to Nero. Hands clap and Nero is in. He goes for Jeff, pulls him up. Whips him to the ropes. Big boot … no! Jeff has hooked the leg on the way down and has managed to come out with a half-Boston Crab! Nero isn't too far from the ropes, but he is far enough that he has to crawl, take some damage to the knee, and then give Jeff enough chance to compose himself. Jeff breaks the hold with the ref's count. He makes his feet and then, while Nero is trying to get up, tags in CJ. The crowd take it up a gear, cheering on their favourite. He is right on Nero. Nero, crouched near the ropes, take a shining wizard! He hits the mat. CJ waits for Nero who pulls himself up. Runs to the turnbuckle. Waits up top. Missile dropkick catch Nero square on the chest! Pulls him right back up. Into the corner. CJ steps up two ropes. To the tope. Tornado DDT! Nero's head crashes into the mat.

Sally is going crazy in her corner. CJ is up, telling Sally to come and get him now. He turns back to Nero, pulls him. A few chops leaves him stunned … Enziguiri! The kick to the head sends Nero back down. CJ turns his attention back to Sally, tells her to tag in, then start the real fight. He rolls Nero over, drags him closer to her corner, then steps back with his arm raised. The crowd want to see this. Nero gets his wits about him, starts to sit up. Sally looks down at him, then at CJ, then over at Jeff. Nero gets to his feet, then reaches over to tag Sally in … who takes a step back onto the steps. Nero reaches over to her, and Sally takes another step down.

Harvey: What's Sally doing?

Chase: The first smart thing she's done all night: Get out of this match! The fans don't deserve this. And CJ definitely doesn't.

Harvey: Are you kidding? You never walk out on your partner … no matter who they are! Sally is costing her team the match here.

Sally shakes her head with a smile, raises her hands and steps down to ringside. Nero hangs over the ropes, still holding out his hand for a tag. Sally laughs at him. Then looks over at CJ. She yells at him “Not tonight” then starts to walk away from her corner. The crowd are all boo's. Jeff watches the madness ensue. CJ stalks Sally from in the ring, then leans over the ropes as she makes the base of the ramp. They start yelling at each other, Sally getting madder and madder. Finally she should ones last torrent of abuse and then throws up her hands and heads backstage. CJ discusses this turn of events with his partner for the match, Jeff patting him on the back to go after Nero and finish this all off. Nero has watched his partner walk out on him, then turns back to CJ. He eyes off the two opponents that he's now to beat.

Harvey: Nero might be Xtreme Champion … but even this might be a big ask for him.

Chase: He should follow his partner's lead and get out of here too!

Nero speaks to the ref, then starts yelling at the ref. He's going insane over Sally, demanding the ref get her back. He shrugs, with nothing he can do. Nero looks at CJ and Jeff again, then does the only thing anyone expects him to do. Knee to the gut! The ref doubles over, falls down to the mat. Nero walks to his corner, steps through the ropes, and starts to yell abuse at Jeff and CJ. The ref pulls himself to the ropes and calls for the bell.

Winner, by disqualification: CJ Gates and Hurricane Jeff!

The ref is slowly getting to his feet as Jeff and Gates exchange a look. Nero begins to climb down the steps and Jeff shakes his head and climbs down from the apron and cuts Nero off in front of the ramp, firing two right hands into his head before dropping him with a dropkick. Jeff is up and picks Nero up, rolling him into the ring before sliding in himself and nodding at Gates.

Harvey: Nero might be in a bad spot right now.

Nero slowly gets to his feet and as he does, Jeff catches him with a diamond cutter.

Chase: Eye of the Hurricane from the boss!

Nero is down and Gates smiles before climbing up to the top rope. He stares at the entranceway, before leaping off.

Harvey: Gatecrasher!

Gates gets up and looks down at Nero shaking his head slightly before turning and facing the entranceway again.

Harvey: Perhaps Gates is trying to send a message to Sally Talfourd.

With that, President Jeff calls for the Microphone. The fans are cheering as Jeff brings the Microphone to his lips.

Jeff: Before I forget, I have an announcement to make. With Test for the Best being two weeks away, its only fitting that I announce the final two competitors from Overdrive to join Khaos and Johnny Rebel.

Jeff looks at CJ

Jeff: CJ, Congratulation, You will be in the Test for the Best tournament.

CJ lifts his arm in celebration and a smile comes across his face.

Jeff: And for your opponent in the opening round.


LAST YEARS WINNER, SALLY TALFOURD!!

The fans cheer CJ’s music begins to play.

Harvey: At Test for the Best, we will see Johnny Rebel taking on Khaos and CJ Gates taking on Sally Talfourd in the opening rounds of the Test for the Best tournament

Chase: This tournament is always tough to win. But can Sally do it, 2 years in a row?

Jeff is on the turnbuckle soaking in the fans cheers as Gates smiles and nods, before climbing the opposite turnbuckle as Overdrive goes to a commercial.

[President Jeff]

Harvey: Welcome back to Overdrive. Before we get to our main event, lets take a look at the Test for the Best card so far.

Harvey: Lets go to our main event

Paige: The following contest is your Tag Team main event scheduled for one fall

"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: Introducing first, NATHANIEL HAVOK

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.

The arena lights fade to black as “Spaceman” blares over the loudspeakers. Blue laser lights shoot from the stage as strobe lights flash about the arena. Biggs enters to a chorus of boos, and flashes his trademark smirk before making his way down the ramp to the ring.

Paige: And his partner, he is the APW Overdrive Champion…BIGGS!

Biggs mocks the fans as he heads towards the ring, and once he reaches the ring, he rolls in beneath the ropes, pops up to his feet, and raises his hands up, index fingers pointed upwards. Biggs removes his ring jacket and shades as the lights come back on.

'Nemesis' hits on the PA system as purple strobe lights flicker around the arena. Nathaniel Havok steps out from the back with his head facing the ground, hair dripping wet. He stares at the ground for about 5 seconds, before throwing both arms in the air, spitting water out of his mouth, as fire-like pyro explodes around him. He gives a sadistic grin before sprinting to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope.

Paige: And their opponents, Introducing first, NATHANIEL HAVOK

He pops up off the mat and runs right for the far right turnbuckle. With a graceful leap, he lands on the second rope and throws his hands in the air once again. He hops down and stands in the corner as his music dies out.

"Alive" by POD blasts through 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: And his partner, weighing in at 262 pounds, he is the current APW Undisputed Champion…..LESTER "L1" ONLY!!

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, keeping his eyes on his opponents as he enters the ring. 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.

Level One & Nathaniel Havok Vs Biggs & Jacob Whitehead


Level One and Biggs are in the ring ready to kick things off. They circle one another and the fans are cheering. Before locking up, Biggs turns, walks back to his corner and tags in Jacob, which gets a nice round of boo’s from the crowd.

Harvey: Mind games by Biggs here

Chase: I don’t think Lester cares who he’s in the ring with, he just wants to whoop some ass

The camera zooms in on Biggs still posing with both titles. The APW copyright logo flashes on the screen as Overdrive goes off the air.

Winner: No Contest
