Overdrive - Athens, Greece (09/15/11)

[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 are here live from Athen Greece and what a show we have in store for you tonight

Harvey: Two main event match up. First, in tag team action. Manialight returns as a team tonight to take on the duo of Nathaniel Havok and Sally Talfourd!

Chase: But it’s the main event everyone is talking about. A Pay Per View quality of a match.

Harvey: That’s right, CJ Gates, Biggs, Kurt Noble and Johnny Rebel will all compete in a fatal for way to determine the team captain for the up coming CWC Tournament Supremacy!

Chase: These guys may not all see eye to eye here in APW, but these 4 will put their difference aside to represent APW against other companies. And tonight we will find a team captain

Harvey: Lets not waste any more time and get the show on the road

The lights dim down and a green hue fills the entrance as "Shooting Star" by Black Stone Cherry begins to play throughout the arena followed by loud cheers from the fans. After a few moments, C.J. Gates himself walks out from the back, wearing black pants, a "Go Big or Go Home" T-Shirt and the APW Undisputed title around his waist.

Harvey: Looks like the Undisputed champion is going to start things off here tonight.

Chase: He's only going to be the champion for so long before he losses at his first hurdle at One Night in Hell.

He looks out at the fans and points out at them before making his way down to the ring, tagging hands along the ramp. Gates climbs up the steel ring steps and gets into the ring where he collects a microphone. He paces around the ring a bit, smiling out at the cheering fans. He raises the microphone up but the fans continue to cheer.

Harvey: You might not have any faith in Gates, Johnny, but these fans sure do.

Gates raises the microphone again.

C.J. Gates: Last week, I was put in an interesting situation. Last week, I was appointed the guest referee for Biggs' match against Mr. Dangerous, with his rematch on the line. And as you all know, Biggs managed to win that match and yes, he will face me at One Night in Hell. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

The fans cheer a bit more as Gates paces a few steps.

C.J. Gates: Truthfully, I wouldn't. Like I said last week when I was out here, I wasn't exactly ecstatic to have won the title in the fashion that I did, but that is how Biggs ended up playing the game. And as I said last week, I would love to give him his rematch so that we can see just which one of us would have won if Kurt Noble hadn't been there. So with that in mind, I went out wearing those referee stripes and did what I said I would do. I stuck to my word and I called that match down the line and to the best of my ability considering it was a no disqualification match. I tried to limit the damage done to Biggs and, dare I say it, I think he realized that.

The fans cheer once more as Gates nods his head.

C.J. Gates: And right now, I want to congratulate Biggs. Not on a dominant performance in the ring, but I want to congratulate you on your perseverance. On sticking through that match even though the odds were stacked against you. Sounds kind of like someone else I know, someone who is now holding the main title around his waist. And who knows, maybe, just maybe you're beginning to earn back some of that respect that I lost for you.

"Spaceman" by the Killers begins to play as the number one contender struts out from the back, arms outstretched. He pauses at the top of the ramp and raises a microphone to his mouth and makes his way down the ramp as the fans begin to boo.

Biggs: What happened last week might have been the most honorable thing you've done since you won Test for the Best. When you look at how you cost me my Overdrive title and then how you stole my Undisputed title, calling that match down the middle has so far been the best thing you have done in that time frame. But between you and me, C.J., we both know that I shouldn't have even had to fight in that match to get back MY Undisputed title. The title that you are wrongfully parading around that ring with!

Biggs walks to the ring steps and uses them to get into the ring. He takes a moment and smiles out at the negative crowd.

Biggs: But it won't be long until I get my title back, I assure you that! Like you said, I beat Mr. Dangerous to keep my rematch, even with Pence Weatherlight, Chris Cyrus and Kurt Noble getting themselves involved. And now that our rematch is official, I plan on making it worth it. That title belongs around my waist, and you know it!

C.J. Gates: Do I? What I know is that you stole this title to begin with. What I know, is that Lester Only was the rightful champion until you chose to use some underhanded tactics to take it away. You might be upfront and honest about the way you operate inside of that ring, but that isn't enough to make everything else alright.

Biggs: Not like I'm the only one. How did you win the title? Did you beat me fairly, with an actual referee calling the pinfall? Oh, no, you didn't. You had an unauthorized enforcer knock me out and then count the pinfall. That isn't exactly honorable in itself now is it.

Gates shakes his head.

C.J. Gates: There is still a difference. As much as you want to make it out to be true, I didn't ask Kurt to get involved. I didn't go into that match knowing what was going to happen. Everything that occurred, happened because of what YOU have done, Biggs. Karma to the fullest degree.

Biggs glares at Gates, anger visible in his eyes.

Biggs: Well, I don't particularly believe in karma, but if you're going to subscribe to that hooey, just remember that karma works both ways, Gates. In fact, I was talking to President Jeff before tonights show and he let me in on a little detail about our match at One Night in Hell. After what happened in our match at Shockwave, I told him that he owed me the right to pick what type of match we will face off in at the pay per view. So I thought about it for a bit. At first, I thought maybe a Cage Match would suffice. After all, I'm undeafeated in them, while the last time you fought inside the cage, you got bit in the butt for letting Sally escape while dealing with Ryan Ruckus. You obviously aren't too keen on how wrestle a cage match. Still, I thought that would be far too easy for me, because while I do deserve to have my title handed right back to me, I wanted to face you in a match that would prove my superiority to you, a match that would suit both of our strengths. And I'm sure you'll agree that the stipulation that has been picked will meet just that.

Biggs smiles as he takes a step toward Gates.

Biggs: At One Night in Hell, you will defend my title against me in a Ladder Match!

The fans burst into cheers at the announcement as Gates smiles wide. He takes a step away and looks out at the fans before stopping in front of Biggs.

C.J. Gates: Fitting. I've always considered myself a bit of a ladder match specialist. It basically fits the whole reason why I'm in this business and is the moment when I will definitely show you and everyone else that winning this title didn't happen by fluke and that I earned it.

Biggs: It won't be easy, just like I'm not going to make it easy for you to retain your title, C.J. If anything, I'm going to make it just as hard for you to win at One Night in Hell as I will in tonights main event. And after karma takes a bit out of you, and by the time I am reunited with my title, you will see just why I am OUT OF THIS WORLD!

"Spaceman" begins to play again as Biggs flashes a smug smile as he backs his way to the ropes and exits the ring.

Harvey: What a huge announcement! At One Night in Hell, C.J. Gates will defend the Undisputed title against Biggs in a ladder match!

Chase: And hopefully everyone will see that Biggs is the true Undisputed champion when they meet in the Main Event tonight.

Gates watches Biggs as he makes his way up the ramp and their eyes lock. Biggs motions around his waist for the title, while Gates unhooks it and raises it into the air to cheers from the crowd.

[President Jeff]

Harvey: We’re not used to seeing the Red Street Mafia struggle this much! They better get their heads in to the match or they are going to lose!

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

“Fell Into Your Shoes” by Chevelle starts playing as Charles Scripps and Kate Horton, otherwise known to the world as the San Diego Seagulls, come out to a great ovation from the fans in attendance. Both are wearing white ring gear with aqua and navy blue designs on them. They high five fans on the way to the ring.

Paige: Introducing first, being accompanied by Kate Horton. Weighing in at 192 pounds, CHARLES SCRIPPS

Once they reach the ring both of them climb in and then pose on the middle turnbuckle. After this they climb down and their music stops playing as they get ready for in-ring action.

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: And his opponent, from San Antonio Texas, Weighing in at 205 pounds, 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.

[President Jeff]

Backstage, Noble can be seen walking around, nodding to the various backstage workers around. After a few moments, Noble stops, and turns his attention to someone off-screen, grinning to himself.

Noble: Well, damn…just the man I was looking for!

The camera shifts over, revealing the man to be none other than…Johnny Rebel! He doesn’t appear happy to see Noble in the slightest.

Rebel: Oh, it’s you. Here to try and beat me up before my match tonight, or are you planning on waiting to ambush me afterwards?

Noble: Well, I was actually going to get you *during* the match…but I’m not here to trash talk with you, however much fun it would be. I’m here to…well, propose a truce, of sorts.

Rebel scoffs, throwing off Noble’s game a bit.

Rebel: Oh, this’ll be good. Go ahead. Try and sell me this used car of a truce.

Noble: Look Johnny… you and I are starting on bad ground here. I know we had our fight at Shockwave, and I’ll admit, I wanted revenge last week, but this thing doesn’t need to escalate anymore. In a short amount of time, you and I are going to be teaming, and there’s no reason for us to act like a bunch of meatheads and kill ourselves…well, until Supremacy is over, anyways…

Rebel just chuckles to himself, making Noble visually uncomfortable.

Rebel: Look at this…you and I haven’t even stepped in the ring, and you’re backing down already. I guess all your hype was just…hype. You’re getting all lovey dovey the second things don’t go your way. You got your behind handed to you last week all night long, and now you want peace. You know what I think about your peace?

Rebel gets in Noble’s face, as the two have a staredown.

Rebel: I think it’s garbage. I think you even being here in garbage. I’m not like everyone else in APW. I won’t bow before you just because you placed second in some tournament, one I would have won if I wasn’t shafted in a reserve position. As far as truces go… no. This is my federation Kurt, and I’m the best here. In fact…

Rebel reaches over, and grabs the Overdrive title, shoving it in Noble’s face.

Rebel: I’m the Overdrive Champion. I’m about to be the captain of Team APW. You’d better get used to doing what I say, because I’m going to be in charge for a very long time. If you’re so lonely and attention-craving, go find someone else, like your “friend” CJ Gates.

Noble’s eyes scan over the Overdrive title, his uneasiness melting away as he steps back.

Noble: Looks like you’re not interested…so be it. In fact, I think that’s exactly who I’m going to see. Just know this, Rebs: You’re not going to be at the top forever. It may not be tonight, it may not be next week, it may not be until the Goddamn end of the world next year…but you won’t be on top forever. Trust me…it’s a long, bumpy fall from the top to the bottom.

Noble taps his injured leg, but Rebel doesn’t seem to care.

Noble: I’ll see you out there tonight, “bud.” Viva la Vida.

Rebel doesn’t seem to know the translation of Noble’s phrase, and Noble grins as he walks away, and the scene fades back to the ring.

Commercial

[President Jeff]

Backstage, Branden Harvey is walking out of the building and getting in his car. He is approached by Shane West.

West: Branden Harvey, what was that all about? Are three of you alligned?

Harvey: Are you stupid, Shane? What did it look like? President Jeff thought he had destroyed the Elite Posse when he had Blade injured, The Gambler fired, and conviced Bobby Bodacious to retire. President Jeff thought he had won. And you inbred idiots rejoiced because you thought he had won as well.

But the Elite Posse has overcome the conspiracy once again. You see, I looked around the locker room and looked for other people that were hitting the glass ceiling put there by President Jeff. Who did I find? I found ASP and Ebirah.

The two of them are great new talents in APW. But President Jeff has placed a glass ceiling that few shall surpass. Ebirah and ASP have both earned title shots by now. But this conspiracy has not let them have those title shots.

West: How has ASP earned a title shot? He has only had three matches in APW.

Harvey: ASP beat Mr. Dangerous in a spectacular fashion and has done the same to that other guy who's name escapes me. Antichrist something. But ASP has proven that he is skilled enough to at least warrant a shot at the Overdrive Championship. But President Jeff has this damn glass ceiling in place.

So, last week, Ebirah, ASP, and I met up. We decided to play a little prank on you inbred idiots. So we staged a fight backstage. then, we asked President Jeff to book us in a match. Of course President Jeff said yes. He was salavating at the chance to see three people he hates tear each other apart.

So, tonight, we did wrestle. We did compete. But we agreed that none of us was going to score a pinfall. We knew going in that, when we got too tired to continue, we would walk out. And that is what we did. We had proven our point. We had proven that we can put on the most spectacular matches you have ever seen. We had proven that we belong in the main event, not in some side attraction. We are the ringmasters, not the bearded ladies.

But the three of us have a mission in APW. We have a mission to push past this glass ceiling. We have a mission to overcome this conspiracy. We have a mission to become champions. And if President Jeff gets in our way, we will just have to take him out.

We are going to do something that is very simple. We are going to take out each and every APW Megastar until the only people President Jeff has left to give title shots to are the three of us. Then, we will take out the champions.

So, President Jeff, be prepared. Because those you have sought to destroy are out for blood.

Without saying another word, Branden harve turns around, gets in his car, and drives away.

The Scene cuts to President Jeff’s office where the Red Shield Mafia barges in

Jeff: Whats the problem here?

Mannie: We want a tag team title shot at One Night in Hell.

Damien: That’s right!

Jeff: Is that so. We’ll, in APW, we earn title shots.

Mannie: We’ve earned it.

Jeff: You didn’t earn it tonight against Texas Mafia

Kingston: That was a fluke

Jeff: Maybe, but I’ll make you a deal, next week, we do a rematch. Red Shield Mafia Verses Texas Mafia, winner gets a shot at Organized Violence at One Night in Hell!

Mannie: We don’t need to prove ourselves

Jeff: Well then maybe I’ll just chose another team to contend.

Damien: We’ll take the match

Jeff: And because One Night in Hell is coming up and to build a little excitement for it, your match with Texas Mafia, will be an Xtreme Rules Match. Good Luck.

The Mafia smile as they walk away and we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage where APW Undisputed champion C.J. Gates can be seen walking through the hallways with the title around his waist, causing the fans in the arena to burst into cheers. As he turns a corner he nearly bumps into a fellow APW Megastar.

Kurt Noble.

The two men stand off for a bit before each man smiles.

Gates: Mr. Noble! Imagine running into you.

Noble: Mr. Undisputed himself! Good seeing you. I guess it is a bit odd since we're not in the ring, right?

Gates smirks.

Gates: Was actually hoping to talk to you about that. Or, I guess, thank you for your timely actions, especially in keeping Rebel out as best you could. I mean, I'm not saying that I enjoyed the way it ended but Biggs did get what was coming to him.

Noble: I can agree with that. Like I said last week, that was one of the reasons I came to APW. Watching what guys like Biggs and Rebel have been pulling around here, well, one man trying to oppose those two isn't exactly going to get the job done. Everyone needs a little help now and then.

C.J. Gates: Couldn't have said it better myself. Nice to know there is someone around here who shares the same enemies that I do.

Noble nods his head and glances at the title around Gates' waist.

Noble: Looks good on you, kid. And for the record, you earned it. Some people might say that I was the one that won it for you, but you were the one going shot for shot with Biggs. I may have intervened, but if you didn't have the true heart of a champion, you would have been out long ago.

C.J. Gates: I appreciate that. However I don't think the likes of Biggs or Johnny Rebel are going to see it the same way. They don't exactly see things the same way that we do, now do they?

Noble: Judging from my little run-in with Rebel earlier, not likely. They think this company’s all about them, but it’s not. It’s not even about us. It’s something bigger, more synergetic than all of us. They don’t get it yet, but they will.

C.J. Gates: It's true, and making them 'get it' will be a chance for a bit of payback, that's for sure. Hopefully neither of them tries to pull anything during the match. Though...hoping for that seems to be like believing in Santa Claus. You can hope all you want, but in the end, it's never going to come true.

Noble: Very true…but should they try and pull something, that doesn’t mean we have to waddle around like a bunch of confused penguins. We’ll be working together at CWC Supremacy, so if those two ally tonight, there’s no reason why we can’t share the love, you know? You watch my back, and I’ll watch yours.

Gates grins, and extends his hand. Noble shakes it firmly, getting a large crowd reaction.

Gates: Let’s give 'em Hell then.

Noble: No better person to say it than the APW Undisputed Champion!

The two men nod, a symbol of their new found alliance, as the camera switches back to the ring


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

"This Means War" by Busta Rhymes plays out over the loud speaker as on the jumbo tron a giant video of Mark Mania's career highlights plays. Mark Mania walks out from behind the curtain with his arms in the air.

Paige: Introducing first, MARK MANIA

He comes out in a full suit, as he is walking down the ramp he offers arrogant yet charming looks to crowd as he removes the suit coat, tie, and shirt while walking down the ramp and throws them into the crowd. He slides in ring under the bottom rope and lifts his arms to the crowd before entering his corner.

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

Paige: And his partner, PENCE WEATHERLIGHT

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

'Slit My Wrist' hits on the PA system as purple and lime green strobe lights flicker around the arena. The song plays for about a minute before Nathaniel Havok finally steps out from the back, guns blazing. He begins stomping around on the ramp, yelling and hyping up the crowd. Some boo him, but his "cult-like" following overshadows them with their deafening cheers.

Paige: And their opponent, Introducing first, the APW Xtreme Champion, NATHANIEL HAVOK

He gives a sadistic grin before sprinting down 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.

The crowd is buzzing with anticipation for the coming match. On cue, the lights take on a blue tinge and 'Starstrukk' hits the speakers. This sets the crowd off: everyone knows who this is leading up to. As the song bursts to life, out races Sally Talfourd, racing to the front of the stage. Raising her hands to the crowd, she kicks her leg and heads towards the ring, slapping hands with the crowd that hangs over the rails for her.

Paige: And his partner, SALLY TALFOURD!

Sally stands at the base of the steps to the ring, waving to the crowd as she is announced. When that's done, she dashes up the steps, hoists herself over the top ring and bounces to the centre of the ring. Poses for the crowd as the lights return to normal and the music fades out. The crowd still cheers for the adorable Sally as she starts to stretch for the match.

Mark Mania & Pence Weatherlight Vs Nathaniel Havok & Sally Talfourd

Chase: Don’t be a smart ass Darren

Officials continue to keep the two men apart as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

The Lights in the arena go out, and the words "COMING SOON" scroll across the screen. Once again we see a close up of a man's nicely shined loafers. A soft cello concerto can be heard playing softly as James Earl Jones once again narrates.

JAMES EARL JONES: Who is this man you ask? He is the helper of the helpless, the voice of the voiceless, the hope of the hopeless. He is a man who stands up for what is right. Stands up for everything that is good and sacred in this world.

The camera slowly begins to pan up and reveal a sharp dressed man seated at a table in a courtroom.

JAMES EARL JONES: He is a man who will defend honor and virtue with his life. He is a man who will destroy all workers of evil with his bare hands. He is a man who will always choose the right path. A man in whom no spot of guilt resides.

As the music comes to it's crescendo and the camera begins to pan up towards the man's face, a voice can be heard from off camera.

OFF CAMERA VOICE: Will the defendant please rise.

The sharp dressed man quickly stands. The camera continues to pan towards his face.

SHARP DRESSED MAN: Get that stupid camera out of here. Can't you see I'm busy.

The sharp dressed man shoves the camera away. The camera man falls and the picture turns to static.

Harvey: Well, there you have it fans, another strange and somewhat embarrassing vignette from this mystery man. One can only wonder who he is.

Chase: Forget who he is, I'm wondering how much he's paying James Earl Jones.

Harvey: Lets go to our main event of the night


Paige: The following match-up is a fatal four-way match, scheduled for one-fall! The winner of this match-up will be crowned the Team Captain of Team APW at the Championship Wrestling Council Supremacy Tournament!


#SIMPLY F'N PUT!



#IT'S TIME TO PRAY THE PRICE!

[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.]

Paige: Introducing first, weighing in at 234 pounds, and hailing from Chicago, Illinois…he is the APW Overdrive Champion… “Simply Put” Johnny Rebel!

The lights in the arena shut off, as the opening rhythm to "I Will Not Bow" blasts through the speakers. After a few moments, out steps Kurt Noble, eliciting a huge cheer from the crowd! Noble raises his cane into the air, and begins to limp down to the ring. Upon reaching it, Noble leaves his cane on the outside, and slowly walks up the stairs to the ring. He enters the ring, and climbs up on the turnbuckle, posing with his fist in the air as the cameras go off. Noble moves off it, as the lights return to normal and the music dies down.

Paige: Next up, weighing in at 235 pounds, and hailing from Orlando, Florida… Kurt Noble!

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. 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.

Paige: Introducing next, weighing in at 217 pounds, and hailing from Seattle, Washington… Biggs!

“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 his“Go Big or Go Home” T-shirt, and he has the APW Undisputed title around his waist. He bounces around at the entrance a bit before moving towards the ring, bouncing to the beat. Gates reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope before springing to his feet and climbing the nearest turnbuckle. He looks out at the fans before he unclasps the Undisputed title and raises it up in the air to a loud chorus of cheers from the fans. He climbs back down and removes his cowboy hat and carefully hands it off, before removing his t-shirt.

Paige: And finally, weighing in at 215 pounds, and hailing from Fargo, North Dakota…he is the APW Undisputed Champion… CJ Gates!

CJ Gates vs. Biggs vs. Kurt Noble vs. Johnny Rebel

The bell rings, as each of the four potential team captains take a corner of the ring, waiting for the first move to be made. The referee is about hand off CJ Gates’s undisputed Championship…bit Biggs snatches it, and runs to bash Gates in the head with it…only for Gates to duck it, and twist his body, hitting a hard spinning heel kick on Biggs, sending him out of the ring to the floor below! The crowd cheers as Biggs angrily tries to compose himself outside, getting the attention of everyone in the ring.

Harvey: Biggs just tried to gain the early leverage by using the Undisputed title on Gates, but it backfired! Remember folks, this is a no disqualification, no count-outs match-up. It can only end by pin-fall or submission!

Chase: Hey, it looked like Biggs wanted to end it by caving in Gates’s skull! I think that one would work too!

Suddenly, Rebel rushes forward, slamming some hard hands into Noble’s back, almost making him fall in the process. Rebel backs Noble into the corner, and begins to blast Noble with a continuous offense of elbows and punches…that is, until Gates grabs Rebel, and begins to hit some swift kicks on Rebel’s side, finishing up his combo by kicking Rebel in the gut, running off the ropes, and nailing him with a flip over neckbreaker! Gates and Noble then lock eyes, and nod, as Noble grabs Rebel, and lays into him with some chops. Biggs watches from the outside, with Gates keeping a firm eye on him. Noble then Irish Whips Rebel, but Rebel reverses, and trips up Noble! Noble lands hard on his bad knee, and as he shakily tries to get up, Rebel lifts up Noble and drops him with a back suplex! Noble grabs his back in pain, and Rebel kicks him out of the ring, right in front to Biggs! Reacting to his opportunity, Biggs begins to stomp Noble into the mats outside, yelling “The great Kurt Noble, huh?!” Before Gates can rush to the aid of his friend, Rebel grabs him and throws the much lighter Gates into the corner. Meanwhile, Biggs sneakily grabs the Overdrive title, and is about to go back in the ring…but Noble grabs his leg and yanks him back out! Gates is about to slam Noble with the title instead, but Noble grabs Biggs, and does a belly to belly suplex on Biggs, sending him into Harvey and Chase on the announce table!

Harvey: Looks like we’re getting an unexpected visit from the former Undisputed Champion!

Chase: Visit? I’m leaving before this moves any closer to us!

Harvey and Chase abandon their table, and Noble grabs Biggs, throwing him back into the ring just as CJ Gates reverses a snap suplex, and hits a swift DDT on Rebel! Gates grabs Biggs, and Irish Whips him, but Biggs reverses, sending Gates towards Noble! Noble stops him just before the two collide, but Biggs rushes forward, slamming w jumping spin kick on Gates’s back, sending him into Noble and sending Noble out of the ring! Biggs then grabs Gates, and motions towards Rebel, who begins to use some of his brawler skills to hammer on Gates. Rebel yells “I’ll be captain, NOT you!” before slamming a hard knee into Gates’s stomach. Gates kneels over, and Biggs adds on to the offense, bouncing off the ropes and hitting a running knee lift to Gates’s face! Both Biggs and Rebel then Irish Whip Gates, and hit him with a double clothesline. Biggs hops on Gates for the pin…

Rebel breaks up the pin, yanking Biggs off of Gates! The two men get eye to eye, as Biggs yells “What’re you doing, you idiot?!?” The two men don’t appear happy with one another, but both turn back towards Gates.

Harvey: Good Lord, it’s almost like a tag team match at this point! Biggs and Rebel certainly have no love lost for one another, but they despise CJ Gates even more!

Chase: They may have their issues, but they both agree CJ Gates isn’t the one to lead this team into CWC Supremacy!

Harvey: From what I’m seeing, there isn’t much of a team here tonight!

Rebel begins slowly dropping elbows on Gates, and Biggs adds on with some knee drops. They lift up Gates, who wearily begins to fight back, but the combined shots of Rebel and Biggs takes him down again. The two men Irish Whip Gates, and he dodges a double clothesline, rebounding with a crossbody onto both Biggs and Rebel! Rebel is up first, but Gates swiftly hits him with a low dropkick, sending Rebel out to the floor below! Biggs rushes in, but Gates sees it coming yet again. He leapfrogs Biggs, and off the rebound, nails him with an enziguri! Biggs stumbles, and Gates goes to Irish Whip him, but Biggs reverses it, and charges Gates in the corner…only for Gates to move, and for Biggs to jump awkwardly on the middle turnbuckle! Rebel then grabs Gate’s foot from outside, and yanks him out of the ring, but Gates fights back, kicking Rebel near the stairs, and then running forward, hitting a bulldog on Rebel into the steel steps! Rebel flops off as the crowd taunts him with a “CJ GATES” chant!

Gates grabs Rebel, and drags him onto the steel ramp, looking like he’s going to go for the “Stamp of Approval” (Double Arm DDT), but Rebel fights out of it, and grabs Gates, slamming him with a gutwrench Powerbomb on the steel ramp!

Chase: Yeah, that’ll definitely bruise the back a little!

Harvey: I don’t think these men even care if the others make it to Supremacy! They just want to prove who really is the best wrestler in APW!

Back in the ring, Noble and Biggs are exchanging blows, but Biggs gains the offensive advantage by hitting a European Uppercut on Noble! Biggs goes to Irish Whip Noble, but Noble reverses, and Biggs bounces hard off the turnbuckle. Biggs runs forward, hoping for a clothesline counter, only to be hit with a German suplex! Noble lifts Biggs back up, but switches moves, nailing Biggs with the “Mark of Nobility” (Inverted Olympic Slam)! Noble then grabs Biggs, and locks in the “Dance with the Devil” (Sharpshooter)! Biggs writhes about in pain, and Rebel rolls into the ring, hitting a huge rolling elbow on Noble to take him down and break the submission! Rebel then looks over at Biggs, and rolls him over for a pin…

CJ Gates breaks up the pin by hitting the Dropping DOW (Moonsault Legdrop) on both men, breaking the fall! Biggs especially looks out, and now all four men are down in the ring. Noble and Gates are the first ones up, and they grabs Rebel, throwing him out of the ring! Seeing Biggs down, Noble and Gates bump fists, before locking up. Noble locks a headlock on Gates, and Gates tries to push him off, but Noble pulls Gates down, continuing the hold! Gates struggles, but begins to hit Noble with a few side shots, before finally delivering one to Noble’s knee! Noble finally breaks the hold, and Gates levels Noble with a reverse DDT! Gates then goes to the top rope, and goes for the Sophistication (450 Splash)…but Noble moves out of the way!

Harvey: While there’s definitely some allegiance between these two men, it’s good to see that when push comes to shove, they’re willing to get just as rough as anyone in APW!

Chase: Get me Gates! I’m still not sold on this Noble guy yet. If anyone gets to play good guy here in APW, it’s CJ Gates!

Noble stands up, but instantly gets a knee clip from Biggs, making him fall to the ground in agony! He then stalks Gates, and just as he gets up, nails Gates with the Shockwave DDT (Hammerlock into Reverse DDT) onto Noble! Biggs grins to himself, and goes up to the top rope, hoping for the UFO Frog Splash…but Noble runs over, and bangs himself against the ropes, making Biggs fall yet again on his uncomfortable place! Gates then gets up, and gets on the top with Biggs, getting on his shoulders for a hurricanrana! Suddenly, Rebel gets back in the ring, but Noble catches Rebel with a floatover DDT! Gates then hits the hurricanrana, making Biggs lands right on Rebel! The referee starts counting…

Noble breaks up the unintended pinfall!

Harvey: Biggs was almost the luckiest son of a bitch in APW with that inadvertent pinfall!

Chase: Biggs makes his own luck, just like he did against Mr. Dangerous last week!

Gates looks to move Rebel over and pin him himself, but Noble hits Gates with some hard shots, and the two men begin to trade blows as the crowd cheers! Noble gets the advantage, and ducks a right hand, slamming Gates with a belly to belly suplex! He then hops on Gates, applying a crossface, and Gates struggles to fight out of it. Noble holds on, but Rebel reaches over, dropping an elbow on Gates’s head, almost knocking him out! Rebel lifts up Noble, but The Noble One fights back, hitting some hard chops on Rebel! Noble Irish Whips Rebel, but Rebel counters, and blasts Noble with a spinebuster! He lifts up Noble for the “Putdown” (Pedigree), but Biggs goes for a flying kick that Rebel narrowly dodges! The space gives Noble enough time to twist the move around, going for the “Noble Neckbreaker” (Rolling Cutter)…but Rebel fights out of it! Noble stumbles, and Biggs charges Noble, but Noble locks in the same hold! He’s about to hit the move, but Rebel hits a huge running headbutt on Noble, sending him down!

Rebel then grabs Biggs and tosses him out of the ring! Gates groggily stands up, but Rebel Irish Whips Noble into Gates, making the two collide and sending Gates out of the ring! Noble stumbles back, clutching his nose, right into the Putdown! Rebel makes the pin…
