Overdrive - Billings Montana (07/21/11)

[President Jeff]

Pyro shoots from the stage and the camera pans through the crowd as the fans are on their feet in excitement for seeing APW. The camera then cuts to ringside with Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase

Harvey: Welcome everyone to THURSDAY NIGHT OVERDRIVE!!!

Chase: We got a big show in store tonight. We got a title match. Diamante Valentine will defend his Xtreme title against Nathaniel Havok

Harvey: And out main event for the night. In a non title match, the new Overdrive Champion, Johnny Rebel will take on the Number 1 contender for the Undisputed Title, CJ Gates

Chase: And also tonight, We will find out what the future holds for Level One

Harvey: We haven‘t seen Level One since losing the Title to Biggs at Test for the Best. But I can confirm, that he is here tonight!

Chase: I can‘t wait for all this.




“Spaceman,” by The Killers, hits the speakers as the arena lights fade to a dim blue. Blue laser lights shoot from the stage while white strobe lights flash irregularly about the arena. Biggs makes his way into the arena, dressed in a snazzy dark blue suit with a white shirt and tie, not to mention blue feathers on the shoulders of the suit. The suit jacket is unbuttoned to show off the APW Undisputed Championship clasped around Biggs' waist. Also, the cast is finally removed from his arm. He has a perturbed look on his face as he heads down the ramp.

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

Chase: Biggs looks quite angry tonight, and rightfully so, as he lost the APW Overdrive Championship last week to Johnny Rebel!

Harvey: If you ask me, it serves him right! Johnny Rebel beat him by cheating, just like he beat Lester Only by cheating!

The fans are booing the champion as he walks up the ring steps and slingshots himself over the ropes into the ring. He calls for a mic as the music fades and the lights come back up. A loud “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” chant is going as Biggs begins to speak to try and cut them off.

Biggs: If you're going to mock me, at least come up with something more original than what your boyfriends told you to do last night! And that goes for the men in the crowd too!

This draws even louder boos from the crowd. Biggs continues.

Biggs: Last week was supposed to be the start of the single greatest APW Undisputed Overdrive Championship reign. Instead, it saw the end of the greatest Overdrive Tile run in APW history. At this point last week, I held not only this glorious APW Undisputed Championship, but also the Overdrive Title, and I was intent on defending both belts with the dignity and regularity that they deserve. Unfortunately, that dream came crashing down. Roll the clip...

The screen transitions to a replay of the finish to last week's main event, Johnny Rebel versus Biggs.

Biggs pulls back putting all his weight back on Rebel. Rebel refuses to tap out, but there doesn’t seem to be much of an alternative. He tries to push himself up to roll out of the hold, but Biggs reaches out with one hand and pulls on the ropes for more leverage causing Rebel to scream in pain. The ref looks just as Biggs lets go of the ropes and gets back into position for Rebel.

Biggs again grabs the ropes, but this time the crowd cheers as CJ GATES comes running out from the backstage area. He runs to the ring and slaps Biggs’ hand away from the ropes and then gets on the apron and screams at Biggs. Biggs breaks the hold and starts yelling at CJ Gates. The ref tries to break this up, but the two are arguing heatedly. Biggs swings at Gates just as he hops down. Biggs points at him on the outside telling him to keep his nose out of it. But before he can say much else he’s grabbed from behind by Rebel and rolled up.

Rebel waits for the ref to get into position and reaches out and grabs the rope himself. Here’s the pin….

DING DING DING!

Winner and new APW Overdrive Champion: Johnny Rebel


Rebel rolls off as the bell rings and to the outside! Biggs gets right up and is frantic trying to tell the ref what was happening. He’s trying to wave it off as CJ Gates just points at him and laughs as he backs up the entrance way.

Paige: Winner of this match and NEW APW Overdrive champion…… SIMPLY PUT JOHNNY REBEL!

Biggs: Just like that, the single most dominant title run in APW History was over. That being said, I'd like Johnny Rebel to come down to the ring at this time. And that's not a request, that's a demand!

#SIMPLY F'N PUT!

A recorded voice comes over the loudspeaker 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. The APW Overdrive Championship belt is around his waist.

#IT'S TIME TO PAY THE PRICE!

The crowd has come unglued in their hatred for Rebel. He gets to the ring and pulls a cameraman 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 the Overdrive Championship held high. As he gets down, the time keeper hand him a mic, and Biggs begins to speak.

Biggs: Johnny Rebel, after what you pulled last week, I just have one thing to say to you...

Biggs looks Johnny Rebel right in the eyes, both men have intense looks on their face. After a few tense moments, Biggs extends his hand out, offering a handshake. Rebel accepts, shaking the Spaceman's hand.

Biggs: CONGRATULATIONS! You see, Johnny Rebel, I can't begrudge you for what you did last week, because in all honesty, it wasn't anything that I wouldn't have done myself! You showed that you were willing to do whatever it took to win the Overdrive Championship, and I simply cannot be mad about losing to you in that fashion!

Rebel: It’s a shame that C.J. Gates continues to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong! If it wasn’t for Gates—we had Match of the Year in the bag. It’s unfortunate that it happened the way it did but you know I’ll do the Overdrive championship proud! I certainly have some big shoes to fill!

Biggs and Rebel glad hand a bit in the ring, before Biggs gets back to talking.

Biggs: However, there is one thing I take exception to about last week's match and Rebel hit the nail on the head! The involvement of a certain Test for the Best winner named C.J. Gates has been eating at me all week! Now C.J., I know you thought it was some kind of poetic justice how you came out and cost me my Overdrive Championship, but the fact of the matter is that my match with this fine gentleman in the ring was none of your business! You may think you accomplished something by assuring that I lost my Overdrive Championship last week, but all you succeeded in was pissing me off! That's why later tonight, when you face off against the new Overdrive Champion, I will be in Johnny Rebel's corner tonight!

Biggs turns to J-Reb.

Biggs: That is, if you'll allow me to be in your corner.

Rebel: Absolutely! It’s about time the APW had an Undisputed Champion that we all can get behind. It’s been along time since I could honestly say I was proud to be a member of the APW roster and mean it! For months the Undisputed Championship has been held captive and it’s time a true champion wears it with style! There is no doubt in my mind that tonight I’ll get the revenge I’ve been wanting so badly. I’ve been waiting to prove to the world that your Test for the Best victory was nothing but a fluke and should have never happened! Tonight—revenge is sweet and I can’t wait to get my hands on you! Now normally, I’d have no qualms about walking out to that ring tonight solo and giving you the beat down you deserve but when the Undisputed Champion comes knocking and wants to be in your corner—you don’t turn that down! And besides, I couldn’t deny Biggs the opportunity to get a front row seat to watch the carnage firsthand.

Rebel walks over the turnbuckle and sits on the top rope.

Biggs: Oh, how sweet it will be! The fact of the matter is that C.J., is that you've drawn the ire of both the APW Undisputed and Overdrive Champions, which is not a good place to be. I hope you thought last week was worth it, because tonight, you will pay the price for what you did! Why?

Rebel: Because Simply F'N Put...

Biggs: We're OUT OF THIS WORLD!

“Spaceman” hits the speakers as Biggs raises Johnny Rebel's arm in the middle of the ring. The fans are livid as the two champions exit the ring.

Harvey: This does not look like a good situation for the #1 Contender at all! To have both Johnny Rebel and Biggs gunning for him, well, things don't look good for C.J. Gates!

Chase: He's in an unenviable position, that's for sure! The fact that both the APW Undisputed Champion and Overdrive Champion are banding together is huge!

Biggs raises Rebel's arm once more as they reach the stage, before the two exit into the back.[/code]

[President Jeff]

EARLIER TODAY

The show goes backstage to show the masked evil arthropod known as Ebirah and his masked rudo minions in The Twilight Zone standing by inside of Ebirah’s locker room. Ebirah cackles as he motions to his minions standing behind him. He then smiles deviously at the camera before

Ebirah: It is I, Ebirah, the newly signed nightmare that is going to plague you all even when you sleep at night. The fact is that you have reason to have a lot of long and sleepless nights now that I’m here. The bar has been set for the rest of you to reach my level of hate already and I’ve only been here a week. The fact is I’m going to slowly creep up the rankings until I’m at the top. Nobody can stop the Twilight Zone from taking over. We, and myself in particular, don’t take any crap from anybody. Now before I go into a typical long winded wrestling related rant let me stop myself now and address Hoodoo Voodoo. Hoodoo, you talked a lot of smack this week but I don’t think you can back it up given the fact that you can barely handle wiping yourself with an empty Cheetos bag after going to the bathroom. Tonight I show you and everyone else that I am not a person to take lightly. I will come away with my first victory here in APW and then begin my meteoric rise to the top. You’re all soon going to be taken into a fifth dimension. A dimension of sight, sound, and mind. A land where you will find out that you have no control and the Old Ones are the masters of your reality. I am going to take you on a nightmarish journey into…The Twilight Zone.

Ebirah cackles maniacally once again before sauntering out of the locker room with his goons in tow and we go back to ringside


“She’s Gone Critical” by Bang Camero begins to play, Voodoo Hoodoo walks out from behind the entranceway with “Domo” in his hand as the crowd cheers for him. He slightly lifts “Domo” up to his face and begins to talk to him whilst he walks down the aisle. Sprinting around the ring, he snatches the timekeeper’s chair away and sets it up to where it’s facing the ring. After sitting “Domo” down onto the chair.

Paige: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, VOODOO HOODOO!

Voodoo Hoodoo slides under the ring ropes and sits in the middle of the ring, rocking back and forth as he awaits his opponent.

Paige: And his opponent, EBIRAH!

“Halloween II theme” by John Carpenter starts playing over the loud speakers as Ebirah comes out from the back wearing a black ring robe and carrying a scepter as he comes down to the ring. He is accompanied by his goons in The Twilight Zone including masked rudos Trick r Treat and Pumpkinhead. Ebirah climbs into the ring and poses with his minions. Since he doesn’t trust the ref he takes off his ring robe and hands it along with his scepter to Pumpkinhead. His music stops playing and his minions head to the back as he readies himself for war.


DING DING DING

Voodoo Hoodoo Vs Ebirah


The official motions for the bell to be rung as Ebirah rushes at Voodoo Hoodoo who tries to grab him by the head. However, Ebirah ducks under his opponent's arms and ends up right behind him. He quickly wraps his hands around his head and neck and brings him down with a huge neckbreaker. The fans explode with cheers as Ebirah pops back up to his feet and brings Voodoo Hoodoo up onto one knee. He tries to throw a punch at him but Voodoo Hoodoo blocks it and delivers a punch to his midsection. Ebirah stumbles back holding onto his stomach as Voodoo Hoodoo quickly gets back up and tries to grab Ebirah again. Using his agility Ebirah is able to once again escape as he delivers a vicious kick to the back of Voodoo Hoodoo's leg.. and another and another! Voodoo Hoodoo takes a knee as Ebirah bounces off the ropes and delivers a bulldog for a quick cover...

Voodoo Hoodoo quickly kicks out to the boos of the fans.

Harvey: Kickout by Voodoo Hoodoo!

We go back to the action. Ebirah has been able to whip his opponent into the corner. He climbs to the second ropes and begins to pummel away on Voodoo Hoodoo's head and face with furious fists... 1... 2... 3... 4... the crowd counts away the punches as Ebirah continues his attack... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10...! The official instructs Ebirah to get off the ropes and he obeys as Voodoo Hoodoo stumbles out of the corner. Ebirah quickly grabs him by the arm and whips him across the ring into the opposite corner. Wait! Voodoo Hoodoo reverses the Irish whip as he pulls Ebirah towards him and brings his down with a huge power slam. Bam! The ring shakes as both superstars hit the canvas hard. Ebirah's faces fills up with pain as he rolls around in the ring. Voodoo Hoodoo sits up and takes a quick breath after which he pops back up to his feet and drags Ebirah back up to his standing position by his hair. He pulls him towards him and tucks his head under his arm for a DDT. Ebirah tries to break free as the fans are cheering him on but he fails as Voodoo Hoodoo holds onto his. He tries for a suplex but that doesn't work eithis as Voodoo Hoodoo brings him down with a huge DDT for the pin...

No! Ebirah kicks out as Voodoo Hoodoo looks in disbelief.

Chase: Whoa that was close!

Harvey: Come on Voodoo!

Back in the ring Voodoo Hoodoo has just thrown Ebirah into the corner and lets him taste his own medicine as he delivers a couple chops and a huge side kick. Ebirah slumps down to the ground propped up against the corner as Voodoo Hoodoo continues with the onslaught. He lifts Ebirah up by his arm and tries to whip his across the ring. No! Ebirah reverses it! Wait! Voodoo Hoodoo reverses it back as Ebirah ends up in the corner once again. Voodoo Hoodoo quickly delivers an elbow to his face as the fans let out more boos. Voodoo Hoodoo proceeds as if not hearing a thing as he drags Ebirah out of the corner and lifts his up into a powerbomb position and then brings him down... No! Ebirah somehow manages to reverse it into a hurricanrana as he tumbles down to the canvas with his opponent and ends up on top of him for a sneaky pin...

Voodoo Hoodoo throws Ebirah off of him and sits up as both superstars are breathing hard.

Harvey: Who is going to get the upperhand here?

Chase: Come on Ebirah!

Harvey: Don't chose favorites!

We swing back to the action both superstars are back up to their feet. Voodoo Hoodoo locks horns with Ebirah but he quickly overpowers his as he locks on a headlock. Ebirah tries to throw a frantic punch to his opponent's midsection but he counters it with a punch to his face! He lets go of Ebirah as his eyes seem dazed and bounces off the ropes. Oh! What a huge swinging neck breaker as Ebirah goes down hard once again. This time, Voodoo Hoodoo doesn't go for the pin but instead delivers more punishment as he brings him back up to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Oh! Voodoo Hoodoo delivers a huge hip toss as he takes down Ebirah once again. He grabs his back in pain as Voodoo Hoodoo taunts the crowd that is on their feet trying to help out Ebirah. Voodoo Hoodoo once again ignores the crowd as he lifts Ebirah back up yet again and tries for a punch. Ebirah desperately blocks the punch and throws one of his own as now both wrestlers begin to trade blows. Voodoo Hoodoo manages to dodge one of them as he quickly swerves behind Ebirah and tries for The Roundabout. Voodoo Hoodoo lifts Ebirah up onto his shoulders and gets ready to drop him. Ebirah stuggles to get lose, and finally falls off the back of Voodoo Hoodoo. Ebirah is now to his feet, as Voodoo Hoodoo looks around in confusion. Voodoo turns and Ebirah spits Green mist into Voodoo’s face. Voodoo is blinded and Ebirah does a jumping kick, kicking Voodoo in the head. Voodoo is down and Ebirah climbs up to the top rope and comes off with the Shooting Star Press and lands it for the cover

Winner: Ebirah

Ebirah’s music begins to play and the ref raises his arm in victory

Harvey: A big debut win for Ebirah here tonight

Ebirah celebrates as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The camera cuts to the backstage area where Cindy Shannon is standing next to Zachary Rodell. The two appear to be having a conversation, but they have yet to face the camera.

Cindy Shannon: I’m really not that much older than you. I could show you things…

Off camera: Ahem.

Cindy turns to find that the feed has already gone live. She flashes an uneasy smile before beginning.

Cindy Shannon: Hey there, APW Universe, Cindy Shannon here alongside Overdrive’s newest Megastar in the making, Zachary Rodell.

She shifts her body to where she can face Zach and the camera at the same time.

Cindy Shannon: Zach, you had a rough start with your debut loss to Mr. Dangerous a few weeks ago, but bounced back in fine fashion to get what many might consider an upset victory over The Gambler. Going into your third match with the company, do you think you can keep Klayton Moore from doing exactly what you did last week?

Zachary Rodell: You know, if there is one thing that loss to Dangerous taught me, it is that you can never count anyone out. I did that with Dangerous in our match, and The Gambler did that with me last week. So to be honest with you, Cindy… I really don’t know if I can do it, but you better believe I am going to go out there and try my best to make sure I am the one with my arm raised at the end of the match.

Cindy Shannon: Not an answer I usually get, but you don’t seem to be the cocky, arrogant blowhard we usually get around here.

Zach shakes his head, a slight smile creasing his lips slightly.

Zachary Rodell: Believe me, I have my moments. Thing is, Cindy, until I have a few victories under my belt and actually have accomplished something here in the APW; I don’t want to put myself out there without a leg to stand on. Sure, I could stand here and say Moore has an ice cube’s shot in hell of beating me, but when all I have done is get my feet wet inside that ring I don’t see the point in badmouthing someone that very well may beat me. It’s not my style, and I don’t plan on looking like an idiot for not being able to back up my words. So, no, I’m not cut from the same mold of guys who think if they talk a good game nothing can touch them. I live in a World called reality, and in reality nothing is ever one hundred percent. There are all types of things that can affect the outcome of a match, so until the referee slaps his hand on the mat for the third and final time and the time keeper rings that bell… I’ll be letting my actions prove my worth.

It is with those final words that Rodell nods to Shannon before turning on his heels and heading down the corridor.

Cindy Shannon: There you have it APW Universe. Straight from the horse’s mouth, Rodell may just be one we need to keep an eye on. Back to you, Harvey.

As she lowers the microphone, she takes one final glance down the corridor Rodell went down as the feed cuts back to ringside


We come back to the ring with Vic Santana already in there warming up

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, VIC SANTANA

'Not A Stranger To The Danger' By Charlie Sheets blast throughout the pa system in arena. Moment's later the light's in the arena start flashing back and forth from red and black as Colin Calen walk's out from the backstage area to the top of the stage. Once he reaches his spot on the stage, he raises his arms up toward the roof as pyro explodes all around him.

Paige: And his opponent, Weighing in at 171 pounds, COLIN CALEN

A short moment later, he removes his jacket and runs down the aisle and slides into the ring. Taunting the crowd some more, he cracks his neck and flexes his arms and hands as the pa system fades then he gets ready for the match.

Vic Santana Vs Colin Calen


The match begins with a lock up and Vic shoves Colin to the mat. Colin gets up looks across the ring to see Vic flexing his muscles. The two circle each other and lock up and Colin gets behind Vic with a waist lock. Vic grabs Colin’s hands and pulls them apart, then hooks him, taking him over to the mat with a hip toss. Colin is up and Vic grabs a hand full of Colin’s hair and tosses him over the top rope. Colin lands on the apron and Vic goes after him, taking a swing but Colin blocks it and grabs Vic by his head and jumps off the ring apron, pulling Vic down throat first over the top rope. Vic stumbles back into the ring. Colin jumps back up to the ring apron and springboards into the ring and Vic catches him with a clothesline.

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage where we see APW Interviewer Hannah Storm.

Hannah: Joining me at this time is the 2011 Test for the Best winner, C.J. Gates.

From off screen C.J. Gates walks into the scene wearing his wrestling attire, his trade mark cowboy hat, and a wide smile.

Hannah: Thanks for joining me.

C.J. Gates: Anytime, Hannah.

Hannah: Now that we are a few weeks away from Test for the Best, how are you feeling?

C.J. Gates: How am I feeling? I'm excellent, Hannah. In fact, I'm still smiling from that tournament win. Even Biggs' actions last week can't knock this smile off my face. And it's only going to get better as the weeks go on, and the lead up to Shockwave will be fantastic.

Hannah: Oh? Do you have anything special planned?

C.J. Gates: Nothing in particular, but I'm sure that when the time comes, everything will fall into place. It's going to be great, Hannah, especially since I'm going to have all the APW fans backing me all the way.

The fans in the arena cheer as Gates continues to smile.

Hannah: This week you take on APW Overdrive champion Johnny Rebel. Any words?

C.J. Gates: You know, I had planned for some long lasting diatribe about Rebel, running him up and down, but I thought better of it. We've had the time to say our piece and if the time allows we will come back to it. I will say though, that Rebel needs to realize he's not as unstoppable as he thinks he is. I didn't cheat at Test for the Best, which the tapes can prove, and I only intervened at Overdrive to teach Biggs a lesson.

Hannah: And what do you think of Johnny Rebel stating that he is the face of APW?

Gates pauses for a moment, laughing to himself.

C.J. Gates: All you have to do is ask the fans. They'll tell you that the real face of APW is none other than yours truly. Who else is there? Biggs and Rebel spend most of their time cheating their way to success, Havok is too busy busting stuff up and sleeping in airports, Sally already turned her back on the fans of APW, and then abandoned the Overdrive fans to go to Asylum. I mean, when you boil it down, Hannah, I represent what APW is all about. The heart, the desire, the energy, the passion. And the fans know that. It's why the cheer for me every time I step through the curtain.

If Johnny thinks he's the main guy than he's sorely mistaken. But, I'll deal with that aspect when I take care of him inside of the ring tonight, for the fans that he enjoys to annoy, mock and berate.

Again the fans in the arena cheer for C.J. Gates.

Hannah: Do you have any words for Biggs after what went down last week?

C.J. Gates: Not about what went down last week. I do have words for him, but they'll come eventually. As for right now, it's much easier if we let him have his moment in the sun. Otherwise we'll never hear the end of how I ruined his Undisputed title celebration. I will send him off with something though.

Gates turns, looking into the camera.

C.J. Gates: I know you're probably going to try and get involved in my match tonight, and I'm fine with that. Really, I am. Because no matter how far we go with this back and forth, eye for an eye business, it's all going to come to a head at Shockwave. At my Pay-Per-View. Some people build toward Rasslemania, and that is definitely a prestigious event. But for me, Shockwave holds special meaning.

It was at that show last year where I had my first Pay-Per-View match, my first Pay-Per-View win, and began my rise. Sure, it wasn't as meteoric as Sally's, but I paid my dues and got to where I am now through hard work and dedication and I'm still coming strong. Coming to take your title from you. To give APW's top title back to the fans.

Gates turns back toward Hannah, still smiling.

Hannah: Anything else?

C.J. Gates: To Johnny, I hope you've brought your 'A' game, because it's time to go big, or go home. I'll see you in the ring.

Gates smiles at Hannah before turning and walking out of the scene as it fades to ringside

Paige: The following match is scheduled for one fall. First, making his way to the ring... from Toronto, Canada... Klayton Moore!!!

"Just Another Psycho" by Motley Crue pumps out around the packed arena as the chorus of extremely loud boos can be heard as all the can be seen is black and red lights flashing throughout the arena. After a couple of seconds the lights stop flashing and the red and black lights focus on the top of the ramp where "Master of Disaster" Klayton Moore is knelt down on one knee. Klayton's has his left hand by his side with the right one held out in front of him mimicking him holding something which he isn't of course, black and red pyros shout out in like a kind of Mexican wave along the top of the ramp before Klayton raises his right hand and lifts his head up focusing on nothing but the ring. Klayton now to his feet walks slowly to the ring focused on nothing but the ring as the fans continue on booing him and hurling him abuse which doesn't affect his focus what so ever. Once at the ring Klayton walks up the step and enters the ring through the middle and top rope of the ring, now in the ring Klayton now kneels down on one knee again facing the top of the ramp before red and black pyros shot from the ring posts as he then again raises his right hand like he did at the top of the ramp. Klayton now gets to his feet as he stands there ready for action still not loosing focus and still with that cold and piercing look in his eyes.

Harvey: This should be a great match of two of Overdrive's up and commers right here!

The house lights dim as the Doctor P remix of Example's “Last One Standing” starts to blare through the PA system. Purple, Yellow, and blue strobe lights start to flash on the stage as Zachary Rodell rushes out from behind the curtain. He heads over to the left side of the stage and throws his arms up to a light cheer from the crowd, before rushing to the other side and doing the same. The welcome isn't as warm as he expected, but most of the fans have no clue who he is so it will have to do for now. He makes it back to the center of the stage just as Example belts out the lyrics for which the song is named. Zach crouches slightly just as the words last ones standing are repeated. Then, right as the music hits the forty second mark and the beat drops, he hops up as purple and yellow pyro sprays up on either side of the ring. He then makes his way down the ramp and to the ring as the music continues, slapping hands with the kids in attendance – he's pretty sure a few of the adults slipped their hands in for a slap as well.

Paige: On the way to the ring, from St. Catharines, Ontario. He is Straight Edge and He is better than you..he is Zachary Rodell!!!

Zach stops slapping hands a few feet away from the ring and sprints the last bit before sliding into the ring under the bottom rope. Agile like a cat, Zach springs to his feet before running to the corner and hopping up to the second rope and throwing his arms up one more time before the house lights come back on and the music fades away.

Zachary Rodell vs Klayton Moore


Rodell looks over his opponent as Moore stares at him with a look of disgust. The bell rings and Moore waste no time in leading the attack. He catches Rodell off guard with a few shots from behind. He corners him and lands a few rights and lefts to the stomach. A hard Irish whip sends Rodell flying across the ring. He bounces off the opposite turnbuckle directly into a swinging neckbreaker from Klayton Moore.

Harvey: This could be a real quick one.

Chase: Certainly could be, but Zachary Rodell is full of surprises.

Rodell slides to a stop as Moore doesn't even attempt a pin or a follow up. He simply walks over to Rodell in the most egotistical way. He pulls Rodell to his feet and picks him up into a fireman's carry. He walks around with him until he plants himself in the middle of the ring. He tosses but Rodell lands on his feet! A hard clothesline sends a surprised Moore to the ground. Rodell plants his feet and motions strongly for Moore to get to his feet. The crowd get in behind him as Moore' finally gets to his feet. Exploder suplex! Moore has barely gotten settled on the mat when Rodell is back on the attack with a baseball slide to the side of the head. Moore wraps his arms around his head and quickly gets to his feet.

Chase: Told you Rodell is full of surprises. Moore better turn the tides quickly or this could be a hard hill to climb.

Moore backs into a corner as Rodell cuts the ring off. Moore swings but Rodell ducks, reverses... Neckbreaker onto his knee! Moore squirms away as Rodell charges relentlessly. Rodell makes a cover.

Kickout from Moore. Rodell pulls him to his feet and bounces him off the ropes. He bounces off the ropes himself and leads in with a clothesline, which Moore barely evades. Both men continue onto the opposite ropes and rebound. Moore gains some speed and connects with a running knee to the face. He stops only long enough to pop his neck and rub the side of his face. He motions that he is finished dealing with Rodell and pulls him to his feet. He puts his head between his legs and hooks his arms. Rodell breaks free and counters with a back body drop. Moore gets up and Rodell jumps at Moore giving him a jumping double knee face breaker

Harvey: Sanguine Kiss!

Rodell goes for the cover

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

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

Paige: Introducing first, making his return to Overdrive, The Real Show, TERRY MARVIN!

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

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.

[President Jeff]

Raining blood by slayer hits the PA system as APW President Jeff steps out on stage with a microphone in hand to an applause from the crowd. The APW President casually marches down the ramp, allowing several fans to pat him on the back before he climbs up the steel steps and slips in between the middle ropes.

Harvey: President Jeff looks rather excited here tonight and what an occasion it is!

Chase: There's been rumours on what type of contract he's going to hook Lester Only up with! It expired last week and as you can imagine the negotiations were exhausting.

Harvey: I'd imagine Jeff is just happy to make it all official here tonight.

The ring has been decorated for the occasion. A wooden table sits in the middle of the ring. Red carpet has been placed over the otherwise blank white canvas. Two palm trees sit by the turnbuckle to give the entire atmosphere a summer slang. As President Jeff goes to speak; a ''We want Lester'' chant breaks out.

President Jeff: In the matter of moments, me and Lester Only will meet right in this ring to sign a three year contract with details that will keep any future APW hall of famer content. I made the decision to televise this process for the well being of the APW. And this, is just another chance to show our viewing audience that were are the most transparent wrestling promotion around!

A small APW chant is sure to follow as President Jeff nods his head proudly along with it.

President Jeff: Here in the APW, we take care of our stars. It doesn't matter if you're new, old, show opener to show closer. It doesn't matter if you came from a rival promotion or hail from the experts graces themselves—you get what you've earned around here and that's the bottom line.

President Jeff pauses for a few seconds.

President Jeff: And Lester? You've earned a whole lot. Come on down, champ!

The crowd cheers as ''Alive'' by POD blasts the PA system. Lester Only steps out from the curtains show boating with his arms raised. Despite his recent loss, he's in good spirits. Smiling and slapping several fans hands on the way down the ramp. He proceeds to make his way around the ring, slapping several more hands behind the barricade as he makes his way to the announce table.

He grins ear to ear as he reaches into his tights revealing a hidden item concealed on him. It's a cap. He unfolds the cap and places it over the head of Harvey, before turning and bumping fists with an excited Chase.

Chase: Hey, cool hat Harvey! What does it say?

Harvey: I'm a Level-One mark too.

Chase: It's about time you've come around, dork.

Lester Only rolls under the bottom rope into the ring, as he walks over to President Jeff and shakes his hand. President Jeff in a show of great respect hands the microphone over to Lester Only.

''Lester, Lester, Lester!''

Lester ''L1'' Only: All week, people have been asking me; if this is it? If losing to Biggs makes me want to walk away from it all in a show of absolute disgust. If defeat somehow translates to Biggs being better then me, or even the best. Dare I say it, people have even questioned if I had anything left in me. And do you know what I said to these people?

Lester Only smiles as he shakes his head side to side in pity.

Lester ''L1'' Only: F*ck off! The only thing ''big'' about ''biggs'' is his goddamn name! His win while important for him meant absolutely nothing to me. I'm still the greatest competitor alive. I mean, let's put things into perspective my people!
Biggs CHEATED at test for the best. Like a stupid school child, he fed off my answers to solve his questions. Sure, it may have got him past the test on paper—but in reality? He's only cheating himself! He never earned it. He never learnt from it. And he's left himself no room to truly grow.

Lester Only sighs deeply, as President Jeff looks on.

Lester ''L1'' Only: Your new champion is nothing more then a sham and he proved it single handily last week when he lost his overdrive championship to the likes of Johnny Rebel. A week after beating me, he can't even follow it up against a lesser competitor. Last week, Biggs proved to me what you all knew all along... it was a fluke. He's a cheat. And he, is not a real champion...

The crowd cheers Lester Only as he turns to President Jeff.

Lester ''L1'' Only: And deep down, you know it too Jeff. This is why, we're doing this. This is why we've met in this ring because while you may not want to admit deep down in that heart of yours you know I am the best thing you got! So, we'll sit down, we'll sign this little contract and we will be on our way...

President Jeff slowly lifts the microphone to his mouth.

President Jeff: That's all I ask.

Lester Only casually falls back into a big black chair as he kicks his feet up on the table. He grabs the contract and reclines in his chair as he reads it over.

Lester ''L1'' Only: Folks, your president is a great one. It says here that he agrees to give my people four fan giveaways per every three months for the next three years of merchandise with my name on it to all you great fans.

Cheers!

Lester ''L1'' Only: It says here, in the event of a title loss I am to be granted with an automatic rematch that cannot be overturned under ANY circumstance. That sounds great! It's a shame, such common sense practises weren't applied to my initial contract isn't that right, biggs?''

''BIGGS SUCKS, BIGGS SUCKS, BIGGS SUCKS''

Lester ''L1'' Only: And the money? Oh, now we're talking about serious business. Out of respect for our lesser meal ticket earners on our precious roster I won't discuss such personal financial gains out in public...

The fans begin to boo as Lester smiles and shrugs his shoulders.

Lester ''L1'' Only: Ah, okay—why the hell not!? Folks, I'm making Bill Gates money, baby!''

President Jeff looks around awkwardly as the crowd once again cheers in the name of Lester's contract to which he slams on the table and takes the cap off a pen.

Lester ''L1'' Only: Alright, boss. You've done me one good. We have a deal.

As Lester Only goes to sign the contract he's interrupted by three figures on the stage all dressed in suites and professional attires. There's two females and one male standing in between; all looking young and fresh out of college wielding brief cases beyond their age. Unknown to the APW crowd, they're immediately booed.

Harvey: I've never seen these guys before. Who are they and what the hell do they want?

President Jeff looks back at Lester Only who's just as confused as he is as he stands up out of his chair and joins APW president Jeff by his side. The male steps forward with a diamond incrusted microphone in hand.

''Mr. President Jeff, I am afraid to inform you that Lester Only will not be signing with the likes of your brand. You see, Mr. President—while your efforts were grand in their own right we've managed to conjure up something far more appeasing to our former champions eye.''

Level-One: Well, I'm not interested in your goddamn offer!

The man looks back at his accomplices who nod their heads up and down like robots in return.

''I'm afraid you don't have much of a choice, Mr. Only. You see, in your initial contract Mr. President here got a little to greedy in his approach. He added a ''buy out'' option in hopes of potentially selling off your services in the event he could make enough money in return. Due to the limited resources of his lesser competition they were never quite able to pony up the money required to sell you off, Mr. Only.''

Lester Only turned to President Jeff who looks like the entire world just came crashing down upon him. At this point, the crowd is absolutely livid.

''Mr. Only what we are telling you, is as follows. In two months time, you will be wrestling for our respective promotion and brand. During this time, you are prohibited to wrestle a single match or we'll be forced to engage in a law suite on both you, President Jeff and his Thursday Night Overdrive broadcast. Essentially, draining your finances into the red line.''

The man grins ear to ear.

''With that, I bid you two a farewell and I'm absolute elated to have Lester ''L1'' Only on board with our brand of wrestling. Thank you all and have a nice night!''

The young man bows his head respectfully before he turns around and merely walks out of the building with his two female accomplices following him close behind.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Harvey: I can't believe this, Chase. Lester Only our former four time APW champion has just had his contract bought out!

Chase: There has be something President Jeff can do! He can't just allow this to happen!

Lester Only and President Jeff simply look on in disbelief as Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Forever By Drake hit’s the PA and out comes Damian Walker leading the pack for Young Mannie and JR Kingston

Paige: Introducing first, being accompanied by Damian Walker, the team of Young Mannie and JR Kingston, they are, THE RED SHIELD MAFIA

The three of them make their way down to the ring and enter the ring. They do a few poses and then wait for their opponents

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. Bodacious comes out behind Gambler, wearing a sky blue robe. Bodacious completely snobs the fans, refusing to even acknowledge their existence. At random intervals, Gambler tosses a few cards at members of the audience.

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.

Paige: Their first opponents, The team of The Gambler and "Superstar" Bobby bodacious...The GAMBLING SUPERSTARS!

Bodacious enters the ring, where he slowly takes his robe off, handing it off to an unknown employee at ringside. While handing off the robe, Bodacious makes sure to lecture the employee to be careful with the robe.

The Red Shield Mafia Vs Gambling Superstars


JR Kingston and The Gambler start things off in the middle of the ring. They circle around each other a bit then charge in for a lockup. They jockey for position and JR seems to get the upper hand and shoves the gambler into the corner. He shoves back on Gambler’s head and face trying to press him into the turnbuckle. The ref gets in the middle of trying to separate them. Gambler throws a punch connecting with Kingston’s Jaw and backing him up a bit. Kingston returns with a right hand of his own. They trade punches a few time, but Gambler returns with a thumb to the eye of JR Kingston. Kingston stumbles around and tries to shake it off. But when he turns back around, Gambler is there with The Hustle Roaring Elbow right to the head of Kingston sending him to the mat. JR is quick to get up but Gambler is waiting for him and hits The Bluff laying him out flat. He makes the cover

Mannie was on his way into the ring to break up the count but he wasn’t needed. The ref sees him getting in now and goes to push him back. Taking the opportunity with the ref’s attention turned, Bodacious comes in and drags Kingston back to their corner. Together with Gambler they stomp the hell out of him. Mannie jumps and screams, trying to get by the ref, but merely prolongs the double team. Bodacious exits the ring just as the ref turns around. They make a pretty blatant show of tagging each other in as the crowd rains down boos and jeers. In comes in Bodacious who grabs Kingston to his feet and drops him with a quick inverted DDT and makes the cover.

He pulls him to his feet again and locks him in a cobra clutch near his corner. He shakes Kingston around, getting on good and tight. He shakes him around like a rag doll for a second and Kingston starts to fade fast. Mannie comes bolting in the ring but is tackled by Gambler. The two brawl around and slide to the outside fighting on out there. They trade rights and lefts before Gambler shoves Mannie into the steel post and follows it up with a clothesline to the back of the head. Meanwhile, in the ring, JR Kingston goes down to one knee, barely able to hold on. He reaches futilely for the ropes, but cannot quite get there. Out of desperation, he throws a wild elbow and somehow manages to land it in the gut of Bodacious. He hits another, and another. He begins to walk free, but Bodacious manages to recover and has it locked in again. On the outside, Mannie is being hammered by The Gambler. Gambler pulls him up and whips him hard into the ringpost…but using his amazing athletic ability, he hops right on the apron springs off the ropes and hits an asai moonsault onto Gambler on the outside as the crowd goes nuts for the amazing move.

Mannie runs into the ring just as Kingston goes back down to one knee and the ref lets his arm fall. Bodacious is rearing down on him until he looks up and catches a shotgun dropkick right to the bridge of the nose knocking him back and down hard. The ref is there to force Mannie back to his corner, and he goes there to root on Kingston to make the tag. Kingston slowly comes too and crawls over to Mannie. He gets to his feet and begins to slowly limp. He’s within arms reach of Mannie when Gambler rolls back into the ring and spins him around. He kicks him in the gut and goes for the Ace in the Hole. But Kingston counters and hits a HUGE Exploder suplex. He gets back to his feet, lunges and makes the tag just as Bodacious gets to his feet. Mannie is in with a full head of steam as he quickly drops him with a Cradle DDt. He turns back to Gambler and springs off the ropes and hits a flying lariat that knocks Gambler down and takes him out of the ring. Bodacious stumble to his feet again only to be grabbed by Mannie and hit with a Moonlight Drive. He is then quick to get to the top rope and leaps off landing a Diving Double Foot Stomp on Bodacious. He comes over and makes the cover.

Broken up by Gambler!

Gambler drops the elbow on the back of Mannie’s head. He kicks him a few times for good measure and then pulls Bodacious over to the corner, steps out and makes a quick tag on him. Just as he does, Mannie gets the tag on Kingston and the two charge at each other. They take each other down with a double clothesline just completely leveling each other. The Referee counts both men down.

Gambler is a little quicker and attempts to go for the Payoff, but Kingston shoves him off and takes him down with a HARD Yakuza kick. He is right there to go to work on Gambler hitting him with stif Punches and Elbow Strikes to the head and chest area. He pulls him to his feet and whips him into the ropes. As Gambler comes back, Kingston charges hard and GORE’s him hard to the mat. He makes a cover.

He pulls up Gambler and whips him into the corner. He’s right there on him and hits knife-edge chop after knife edge chop. He hits them in rapid succession giving Gambler no time for mercy. When he stops, we can see the red on the skin of Gambler as he tries to shake it off. Kingston now chokes him with his right hand. He throws the arm over his head and lifts him for a Choke Breaker, driving the knee hard into Gambler’s back. He stomps on Gambler’s back as he crawls to the ropes and slowly pulls himself up. Kingston presses Gambler’s throat down on the top rope and begins to choke him. The ref comes over for the count.

He lets go and then gets in the ref’s face, saying not to tell him what to do. As he’s destracted, Gambler runs from behind poised to strike. But Kingston moves out of the way. Gambler stops just as he’s about to hit the ref, but the moment of hesitation is enough because Kingston UNLOADS with a Backfist to the Future laying him out cold. But before he can make the cover, Bodacious slides in with a steel chair. The ref stops him and takes the chair away, but Bodacious continues and takes a hard swing at Kingston and catches him in the jaw with a fist. Kingston falls to the ground in a lump, seemingly unconscious. Bodacious then drops an object from his hand outside the ring.

Harvey: COME ON! Bodacious just leveled him with some kind of foreign object!!!

Chase: I didn’t see it Harvey, and neither did the ref, so it didn’t happen.

In comes Mannie charging at Bodacious. He hits him and the momentum carries them both over the top rope to the outside as the begin brawling to the outside and through the crowd. Gambler pulls a dead weighted Kingston to his feet and DRILLS him with the Payoff. He makes the cover hooking the leg….

Gambler and Bodacious celebrate their victory as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

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: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the APW Xtreme Championship. Introducing first, making his way into the ring, the APW Xtreme Champion, Diamante Valentine.

Wearing his long black sleeveless trench coat 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.

'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.

Paige: And his opponent, the challenger, Nathaniel Havok.

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 his music dies out.

APW Xtreme Championship
Diamante Valentine vs. Nathaniel Havok


The bell rings and Diamante rushes Havok, going for a clothesline. Havok ducks under and, when Diamante turns around, Havok hits him with a spinning mule kick. Diamante goes outside the ring to recuperate. Havok follows him out and Diamante surprises him with a chair shot to the face. Havok falls to the ground, holding his head and Diamante starts beating him viciously with the chair. Diamante tosses the chair onto the ground and brings Havok to his feet. Havok suddenly swings a few right hands Diamante's way and connects with each one before whipping Diamante into the guardrail. Havok grabs the chair and charges at Diamante, swinging for his head. Diamante ducks under and grabs Diamante, hitting a reverse Russian Leg Sweep. He rolls Diamante into the ring and covers.

Diamante kicks out.

Harvey: The weapons are out early.

Chase: This is going to be a bloodbath.

Both men are already battered and bruised due to the early inclusion of chairs as a weapon, so they circle each other, both a little more cautious than before. They lock up in the middle of the ring, and begin exchanging lefts and rights. Diamante gets the upper hand, and drags Havok to a turnbuckle, and smashes his head against it. He leads him to another turnbuckle to do the same again, but Havok manages to block him, hits him with a hard, stiff kick to the mid-section, and throws him into the turnbuckle. He follows it up with a solid Clothesline, which sends Diamante soaring over the top rope, and onto the floor outside of the ring. He deftly runs up the turnbuckle, launches high into the air, aiming to hit a devastating elbow drop, but Diamante manages to move out of the way. Havok rolls around in agony, clutching his injured right elbow.

Harvey: I’m saying it right here and now, Havok has bust his arm!

Chase: Did you see how hard he hit the floor? I think this match could be over right here and now!

Having shaken off the initial onslaught, Diamante quickly regains his composure, and goes for the pin. The ref slides out of the ring, and begins the count.

Kick out by Diamante!

Harvey: Wow, what innovation there by the Enforcer of Sorrow! Did you see how much air time he got there!

Chase: That was damn impressive, but he hesitated before going for the pin. His arm must be slowing him down Harvey!

Harvey: Well I don’t know about that, but that is definitely the kind of thing you have to do to try to win a title here in APW!

Both men are back up to their feet. Havok kicks Diamante in the gut, and charges at him, but Diamante grabs hold of his at the last second, and both men spill over the guardrail, straight on top of the APW fans! It’s bedlam as the fans try to get out of the way, while Havok and Diamante exchange punches, and work their way up one of the aisles. Diamante gets the upper hand by grabbing a drink off a nearby fan, and throwing it in Havok’s face, temporarily blinding him in the process. Havok swings wildly, but misses completely. Diamante takes full advantage of the situation, and throws Havok back down the steps!

Harvey: The ref HAS to stop this match right now!

Chase: This is APW, they both knew what to expect when they signed up for this match.

Harvey: But is it worth their careers?

Chase: Apparently so Harvey.

The crowd are chanting “HOLY SHIT” as Diamante stares down at Havoks almost lifeless body. Diamante begins running down the steps. He rolls Havok over, and goes for the pin.

Havok kicks out!

Harvey: I don’t believe it!

Chase: How the hell did he do that?

Diamante can’t believe it! He kicks the guardrail in frustration. Havok drags himself to his feet, and over the guardrail. He lands heavily on the floor. Diamante climbs up on top of the guard rail, and launches into a Double Axe Handle, but Havok lifts up his foot, catching Diamante straight in the baby maker. Diamante howls in pain, and turns around to grasp the guard rail. Havok gets to his knees, and hits a low blow with his uninjured arm. Diamante drops to his knees this time. Havok gets to his feet, and kicks Diamante hard in the back of his head, which smashes into the guard rail.

He drags Diamante into the ring, and signals for The Crowning, but can’t hit it because of his arm. Diamante laughs and spits in his face. Havok laughs back, and kicks him in the groin again. He climbs the ropes deftly, and launches into the Suicidal Downpour! He hits it, but rolls off in agony, because he’s landed on his injured arm.

Harvey: We should have a new champion right now!

Chase: Ah, should have, could have, would have. Both men are down, and this match continues!

Diamante drags himself outside of the ring, and manages to get a chair. He throws it in, slides under the ropes, slams it in the middle of the canvass, and signals for The Ego Trip. He picks Havok up, but Havok grabs and twists Diamante’s already battered testicles, which makes him drop him and collapse to the floor in agony. Havok knees Diamante in the face, and runs you the nearest turnbuckle again. He again launches himself into the air, and once again hits the Suicidal Downpour. This time though, he manages to stay on top of Diamante.

Winner and new APW Xtreme Champion: Nathaniel Havok

Havok rolls off Diamante, and clutches his arm in agony. The ref tries to help to his feet to raise his arm in victory, but Havok simply can’t. The ref then hands Havok the Xtreme Title

Harvey: After months of talking about it, Havok finally did it. He’s now the new APW Xtreme Champion

Chase: A great effort by Diamante who did a great job as Xtreme Champion, but Nathaniel Havok wanted it just a little bit more

EMT’s rush out to see to both competitors, as Over Drive goes to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The scene cuts backstage where the New Xtreme Champion, Nathaniel Havok is knocking on the locker-room door of Sally Talfourd. Someone taps Nathaniel on the shoulder, causing him to turn around. All of the sudden, a chair blasts Nathaniel Havok in the face, and Nathaniel hit’s the ground immediately. The camera pans out, and Jason Kash is standing beside the prone body of Havok, with a sick smile on his face.

Kash: You want the belts? Looks like Sally might have to do it alone. And you call yourself extreme?

Kash looks down with a smirk on his face. He then quickly turns around and bolts out of sight. Sally opens her locker-room door and finds Nathaniel unconscious on the floor outside. She kneels down to check on him.

Sally: Havok? Havok? HELP! SOMEBODY, HELP!

[The scene fades to commercial.

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is your APW Overdrive Main Event!

#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. The APW Overdrive Title is hanging over his left shoulder as he steps out onto the stage. The APW Undisputed Champion, Biggs, walks beside him, still dressed in his snazzy suit and tie, with the Undisputed Title Belt slung over his shoulder.

#IT'S TIME TO PRAY THE PRICE!

Paige: Making his way to the ring first, accompanied by the APW Undisputed Champion, Biggs, weighing in at 234 pounds, from Chicago, Illinois, he is the APW Overdrive Champion, “Simply Put” Johnny Rebel!

Harvey: Earlier tonight, we saw the dawning of an alliance between the APW Overdrive Champion Johnny Rebel, and the man he defeated last week for the title, the Undisputed Champion, Biggs!

Chase: And there target is none other than the man Johnny Rebel is facing tonight, C.J. Gates! C.J. is going to have his work cut for him here tonight.

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. Biggs claps for him from outside the ring, before heading over to the announce table to sit with Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase. He puts on a headset.

Harvey: Well look who's joining us. It's none other than one of the biggest weasel's in APW history!

Chase: That's no way to talk to the champion, Darren! Where are your manners!?

Biggs: It's quite okay, Johnny, I don't need you defending me, although I appreciate it. The fact is, Darren Harvey, you and many others may think I'm a weasel, but you fail to mention the part where I'm the APW Undisputed Champion! You can hate me all you want, but the fact is that it does not matter! But tonight's not about me, it's about that man in the ring tonight, the new APW Overdrive Champion, Johnny Rebel! Now this guy, much like myself, is a champion you can be proud of, because you know he will do whatever it takes to defend that prestigious title!

“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: And his opponent, weighing in at 215 pounds, from Fargo, North Dakota, C.J. Gates!

Harvey: And here comes the winner of the 2011 Test for the Best Tournament, and the #1 Contender for your Undisputed Championship, Biggs, none other than C.J. Gates! This guy is exciting in the ring, and quite frankly, I think he got under your skin last week!

Biggs: You think, Harvey!? What could have possibly gave you that idea? Was it the fact that he cost me the Overdrive Championship? Granted, if I had to lose to anybody, I'm glad it was Johnny Rebel, but still, I would have rather not lost!

Chase: No duh, Harvey!

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. C.J. Gates gives Biggs a quick glare before turning his focus back to Johnny Rebel. The ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

C.J. Gates vs. Johnny Rebel

[/u]

The two men immediately tie up in the middle of the ring, and Johnny Rebel uses his size advantage to back C.J. into the corner. He gives Gates a few hard knees to the midsection before pulling him out of the corner and pulling off a quick Snap Suplex! He then gives the #1 Contender a series of Hard Stomps before pulling him back up and whipping him into the ropes! Gates ducks the attempted clothesline, and on the rebound, takes J-Reb off his feet with a Head Scissors Takedown! As both men get back to their feet, C.J. gives Johnny a Dropkick to the face! Both men are up again, and C.J. lands a second Dropkick! This time, as he gets up, Rebel takes it a little slower, drawing an attempted Dropkick from Gates, which whiffs right over the head of the Overdrive Champ! As Gates hits the mat, Rebel is right on him like a cheap, purple suit, grabbing a hold of C.J.'s legs, trying to apply a Figure Four Leg Lock! C.J. struggles against the hold, and manages to kick Rebel back a bit, getting up to his feet, only to get grabbed by Rebel for a Side Suplex! Rebel goes for an early cover, 1

Harvey: Remember folks, this contest is a rematch from the second round of the Test for the Best tournament, and Johnny looks like he's wrestling in a way to prove something out here tonight!

Biggs: It's smart wrestling by Johnny Rebel to go for all these early covers, because he has about 20 pounds on C.J., and despite the fact that C.J.'s conditioning is impeccable, it will help to wear him down having to kick out of that extra weight!

Chase: And for the record, Rebel is the Overdrive Champion, so there's not much more he needs to prove!

Rebel gets up to a vertical base, and goes to pull C.J. Gates back up, but as he reaches down, C.J. Gates pulls him in for a Small Package, 1

Harvey: This is exactly what Rebel didn't want to happen, because C.J. is at his best when he starts to get rolling!

Chase: It's still early in the match, but if you let Gates build up enough momentum, you can't stop him!

Biggs: Johnny Rebel will find a way to slow him down, mark my words!

Gates pulls Rebel up, whipping him into the corner, and running to nail him with a Corner Drop Kick! He then pulls the slightly dazed Rebel up and sits him up on the top turnbuckle! As C.J. climbs up to follow him, Rebel gives him a hard shove off the top rope, and goes for an Elbow Drop from the second rope! C.J. rolls out of the way just in the nick of time! Rebel is rubbing his elbow in pain as both men make it back to their feet, and C.J. gets up slightly quicker, whipping Rebel to the ropes! However, J-Reb reverses the whip, sending C.J. on the ride instead, catching him on the rebound with a hard Kick to the gut that hunches him over. Rebel then grabs C.J. in a gut-wrench, and delivers the Gut-Wrench Powerbomb! He then heads up to the top rope, drawing his thumb across his throat before leaping off for a Diving Headbutt! He connects hard, and shakes the cobwebs before crawling over to drape his arm over C.J., 1

Kick out by Gates!

Biggs: Johnny Rebel almost had it there! Had he just been half a second quicker in the cover, he could have won this thing!

Chase: I agree wholeheartedly!

Harvey: Quit sucking up to him! The fact is that that move took a lot out of Johnny Rebel, possibly more than it took out of C.J. Gates! That may have been a tactical error on the part of the Overdrive Champ!

Rebel is shaking his head a bit as he pulls C.J. up by the head, pulling him in for a Side Suplex! He goes for another cover, draping his back across C.J.'s chest, 1

Rebel just barely gets the shoulder up! C.J. realizes he's going to have to pull out the stops, so he stomps Rebel a bit before heading to the top turnbuckle! He looks to make sure that Rebel is still down before going for the Dropping DOW Moonsault Leg Drop! Rebel sees it coming and rolls out of the way! He pulls C.J. up and grabs him by the head and trunks, tossing him through the ropes to the arena floor! The fans boo Rebel as he motions for C.J. to get back up. As C.J. begins to get to his feet, Johnny Rebel takes a few steps back and gets a running start, jumping up and nailing C.J. with a Suicide Plancha! The fans audibly gasp as Rebel hits the move!

Chase: Johnny Rebel is willing to sacrifice his body to try and put the #1 Contender away here tonight!

Biggs: What did I say earlier about him being willing to do whatever it takes to win? That's just another example of why Johnny Rebel is a star to watch here in APW, much like myself!

Harvey: I still don't understand this new found respect you have for Johnny Rebel...

Rebel is the first to his feet on the outside. The ref has already started the mandatory count, and is to five as Rebel pulls Gates up and rolls him back into the ring. Rebel slides in himself, and goes for the cover, 1

Gates kicks out!

Harvey: This is the part of the match where Johnny Rebel has to be careful! If he starts showing signs of frustration, it could come back to haunt him!

Biggs: Does he look frustrated!? I think not!

Rebel gets to his feet, and motions that it's almost over. He looks to C.J. to get up.

Chase: He could be calling for the Putdown!

As C.J. makes his way up, Rebel gives him a hard kick to the midsection, and pulls him into a Pedigree position, but before he can deliver the Putdown, C.J. counters with a Back Body Drop! As both men get up, C.J. pulls out a quick kick, which J-Reb catches, only to receive an Enziguri for his troubles! Rebel stumbles and falls draped over the second rope, and C.J. responds with a Running Low Crossbody that lands right into the small of the back of Johnny Reb! As Rebel falls back onto the mat, C.J. heads to the top rope once more and jumps off for the Sophisticated Splash, hitting all of it and going for the cover, 1

Winner: C.J. Gates[/center]

Paige: Here is your winner, by disqualification, C.J. Gates!

Biggs pulls C.J. away from Johnny Rebel, and pounds the #1 Contender with hard fists, while C.J. tries to defend himself!

Harvey: This is uncalled for! Biggs interfered in this exciting main event match up, and now he's pummeling the #1 Contender!

Chase: What's worse is he cost Johnny Rebel the match!

Johnny Rebel is absolutely livid, and he yanks Biggs off of C.J. Gates, pulling the champ up to face him face-to-face! Rebel yelling right in the champ's face, asking him why the heck he interfered!

Rebel: You cost me the match! What were you thinking!?

Biggs: Oh come on! It's not like you were going to kick out of that! I saved you the embarrassment of being pinned by that jerk for the second time this month!

As the two continue to have a heated exchange, Biggs decides to take a swing at Johnny Rebel, which Rebel blocks! J-Reb then gives Biggs a kick to the gut, followed up with a Putdown! The fans are going wild as Biggs is laid out! C.J., who was laying in wait while all of this was going down, pops up and nails Johnny Rebel with a Running Dropkick that sends the Overdrive Champion out of the ring! With Biggs still down, C.J. looks like he has a bright idea, and climbs to the top rope, while the fans cheer him on! C.J. Gates motions for the Gatecrasher, and leaps off, nailing Biggs with it in the center of the ring!

Harvey: For the second week in a row, C.J. Gates has gotten the better of the APW Undisputed Champion, Biggs! Is this a preview of things to come at Shockwave!?

Chase: I sure hope not!

C.J. stands tall in the ring while Rebel collects his Overdrive Title belt and thumbs his nose towards Biggs. The champion is still out in the middle of the ring while C.J. hops on the near turnbuckle and appeals to the fans as APW Overdrive comes to a close!
