Overdrive - Portland, Oregon(11/24/11)

[President Jeff]

Dark Match
Mr. Dangerous Vs Tyler Graves

The Match begins and before Tyler and Mr. Dangerous can do anything, a fan jumps over the ring barrier and slides into the ring. The fan is naked, wearing a Turkey's head mask and holding a bowl of something.

Harvey: WE HAVE A STREEKER!

Chase: A Thanksgiving one at that!

The Fan throws the bowl at Graves and he begins screaming in pain.

Chase: Is that Gravy?

Harvey: I think so

The Security guard gets into the ring and goes after the fan, and in the process, runs onto Tyler Graves, knocking him to the match. Mr. Dangerous jumps on top of Graves for the cover

Winner: Mr. Dangerous

Chase: I can't believe what I just saw

Harvey: I think we have a new game for Graves. Tyler Gravy!

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 a month away from Christmas Chaos and man, what a PPV that is shaping up to be

Harvey: We know that Kurt Noble and Johnny Rebel will face off in a Steel Cage match, and it learned last week that CJ Gates will be defending his Undisputed Title against Biggs in a Iron Man Match

Chase: Two matches I am looking forward too. But tonight, we got a big main event.

Harvey: A radio contest took place earlier today here in Portland Oregon and the person who won the contest, got to make the main event for tonight

Chase: And the main event for tonight is CJ Gates & Kurt Noble Verses The San Diego Seagulls

Harvey: Weird choice for a main event, but it will still be an exciting match!





The arena lights fade to a dim blue as “Spaceman” begins to play over the speakers. The fans boo at the top of their lungs as blue laser lights shoot from the stage and strobe lights flash all around the arena. Biggs makes his entrance, dressed in his ring gear, with his wife, Ellie, by his side. She's wearing a purple blouse and black pants. The fans boo them mercilessly as they dance down the ramp towards the ring.

Harvey: Oh great! Having Biggs come out is not the best way to start the show in my mind!

Chase: Why not!? He's the #1 Contender for the APW Undisputed Championship, and will be facing off against C.J. Gates in an Iron Man Match at Christmas Chaos! Plus, he brought Ellie with him! It's been too long since we've seen her!

As they reach the ring, Biggs holds open the ropes for his wife before sling shoting himself over the top rope. The music fades and the lights go back to normal as Biggs calls for a pair of mics. He hands one to Ellie, and then begins to speak, while the fans continue to boo loudly.

Biggs: Happy Thanksgiving to all of you too! I'm serious about that! Because let's face it, all of you should be grateful about the fact that come Christmas Chaos, I will once again become the APW Undisputed Champion!

This draws even more boos from the crowd, as well as a loud “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” chant.

Ellie: Oh please! Quit telling us what you told your mothers to do last night!

The fans boo even more.

Biggs: Now I know that all of you would be even more grateful if you got to see me compete tonight, but due to an oversight by President Jeff, that won't be happening. Still, count your blessings that I decided to show up at all tonight! I could have just stayed at home, had a wonderful turkey dinner with my wife and extended family, watched football, and phoned in a live via sattilite speech meant to bash my opponent at Christmas Chaos, C.J. Gates!

They cheer the mention of C.J. Gates.

Harvey: I wish he would've just done that!

Biggs: But no. Me and my lovely wife decided to celebrate Thanksgiving with all you pothead hippies here in Portland. Sure, all of you are too stupid to be able to pump your own gas, but I thought, hey, I can make this Thanksgiving the best Thanksgiving all of you have ever had just by showing up!

The fans get a loud “GO HOME! GO HOME!” chant going, while Biggs and Ellie laugh it up in the ring.

Biggs: You're welcome!

The crowd continues to boo, but the boos turn to cheers as “Shooting Star,” by Black Cherry, hits the speakers, and the APW Undisputed Champion, C.J. Gates, appears from the backstage area. He has the Title Belt around his waist, a mic in hand, and he's shaking his head as he makes his way to the ring. Biggs and Ellie just continue to smirk, talking amongst themselves while they wait for C.J. to enter the ring.

C.J. Gates: Biggs, where do you get off ruining this holiday for all the fine people of Portland, Oregon?

The fans take the bait for the cheap pop.

C.J. Gates: I mean, I know you think you're God's gift to wrestling, and by extension, God's gift to these people, but I think they're making it pretty clear that they don't like you. I think they're making it pretty clear that they don't want you wasting anymore of their time.

Biggs: You say that like I care what these people think of me, C.J. The fact is, it doesn't matter what these whelps think, what matters is how I perform in this ring. And you know as well as I do, C.J., there aren't too many people around that are better than me!

C.J. responds with a bit of a smart-alec tone.

C.J. Gates: Like me?!

Biggs: You keep telling yourself that, C.J. The fact is, when you took that title from me, it was due to outside help. When you retained that title against me, it was in your own specialty match. You haven't proved yourself to be the better wrestler than me, not by a long shot, and that's why you picked the Iron Man Match for Christmas Chaos. Because, C.J., your ego is forcing you to actually prove yourself. And while I applaud your choice of stipulation, Ceej, I got to say, it doesn't seem like you really thought it all the way through.

C.J. Gates: Sure I did. After I beat you at Shockwave for the title, you wouldn't stop stating how you deserved it, and after I beat you at One Night in Hell, you still think you are owed a shot. So after Reginald made the match, I decided that we would settle it once and for all, and to do that, we would need something big. Something that would make you realize that I'm the deserving champ. And even after I've already beaten you twice, you still stand there and think that you have what it takes to beat me.

Biggs: Because, C.J., the fact is, a match like the Iron Man Match heavily favors my style of wrestling. Both of us primarily employ a quick paced, high octane style, C.J., one that would be difficult to sustain for 60 minutes, no matter how great your conditioning is. But unlike you, C.J., my style isn't so one dimensional that I have to go balls to the wall for the full hour. No, I am capable of dictating the pace of the match at will, going fast when I want to, but also slowing things down for me to recover. For you to be effective, C.J., you have fly around the ring, zipping from here to there. You lack a ground game, C.J., you lack the ability to keep the other man down, hurting him while you regain your stamina. You may be able to go at your normal pace for fifteen minutes, you may be able to go at it for half an hour. But there is no way you can remain effective with your style of wrestling for a full sixty minutes, and that is why you are an idiot, C.J. Gates, for picking a match that does you no favors! Like I said, your pride has forced you to pick a match that you just can't win!

C.J. is shaking his head in disagreement, while Ellie mocks him, calling him stupid. C.J. looks Biggs right in the eyes as he responds.

C.J. Gates: And when I win, what will your excuse be then? What lie are you going to tell to the fans to save face? Are you going to claim that the lights were in your eyes? Are you going to hire somebody to make an appearance just so you have a scapegoat? Are you going to turn on Jeff for letting the match happen? Whatever it is, you should get it ready. I didn't pick this match to lose it, I picked this match to show you your destiny does not include the title. Pride might have played a factor, sure, but I'm not worried. You might doubt my ability to last in a match for sixty minutes, but you'd be wrong on the account. I have the ability to last, to fight through fatigue and pain. I know what I'm capable of, and I am confident in my abilities, and confident that I will be able to get the job done at Christmas Chaos. I'm sure that I will once again defend my title, with each and every one of the APW faithful cheering me on as I do so!

Right as Gates stops talking, Biggs takes a swing at him, but C.J. blocks! Ellie gets to one corner out of the way, while the two men go at it, trading blows back and forth! The fans are cheering for C.J. wholeheartedly, and eventually, the champion gets the advantage, connecting with a series of punches that backs Biggs into the ropes! However, Ellie comes up from behind C.J., blasting him with a Forearm Shot Low Blow! As he's hunched over, Biggs grabs a hold of his arm while placing his knee in the back of C.J.'s head, falling backwards to nail Crashing Down to Earth! Biggs covers C.J. and instructs Ellie to count, 1

Harvey: What a farce! What a joke! Biggs is disrespecting C.J. big time here!

Chase: This is great!

The fans continue to direct their hatred towards Biggs as he pulls C.J. up by the head, and runs up the ropes, hitting with a Bigg Time! The #1 Contender then climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps off, nailing C.J. with a UFO Frog Splash! He has Ellie count again, 1

Biggs: I'm already up two nothing. Are you even going to fight back?

Biggs then rams the bottom of the mic into C.J.'s head repeatedly until it draws blood! He covers C.J. for a third time, and Ellie counts it again, 1

Harvey: Somebody needs to come down and stop this! C.J. Gates could be facing serious injury here if Biggs keeps this up!

Chase: I think that's kind of the point!

The fans are still livid as Biggs rolls out to get a steel chair. He slides the chair into the ring, but as he's sliding in himself the fans pop to life as Kurt Noble rushes down to the ring!

Harvey: It's Kurt Noble, C.J. Gates' partner in our Tag Team Main Event this evening!

Chase: This is none of his business!

Biggs quickly slides back out and Ellie gets out of dodge, joining her husband at the foot of the ramp. Noble stands at the ropes, pointing at Biggs, yelling at him, while Biggs and Ellie head back up the ramp, glaring at him the whole time.

Harvey: Thank goodness Kurt Noble came out here to break this sickening display up!

Chase: That wasn't sickening, that was Biggs making a point!

Noble turns his attention to helping C.J. up once Biggs and Ellie reach the stage. C.J. is holding his head in pain, but has a determined look on his face as he stares at Biggs and Ellie mocking him from the stage and we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following is a singles match scheduled for one-fall!

The lights go out, as a Grunt resound around the arena ushering in the opening cords of "Nothing left to Lose" by Puddle of Mudd. The Crowd explodes with a resounding Cheer as the stage lights up revealing a Shadow of the Barbarian K-Bar. As the Lights come on K-Bar is standing on the Stage Holding his hands high in the air as the crowd cheers for him. K-Bar has at this point made his way to the ring… as the final chorus plays he makes his way around the turn buckles slapping hands with the crowd and shaking hands. K-Bar enters the ring and slowly walks over to a corner where he begins to prepare for his match...

Paige: Introducing first, weighing in at 298 pounds, and hailing from Great Bend, KS… Konnor Bartholomew!

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.

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.

Paige: And introducing next, weighing in at 205 pounds, and hailing from San Antonio Texas… Zachary Rodell!

Harvey: We saw a definite firey attitude emerge from Zachary Rodell last week when he confronted Julius Farquhar. Maybe we’ll see some of that fire translate to in-ring aggressiveness!

Chase: Puh-lease. Have you seen how massive K-Bar is? He could freaking crush Zachary’s little “fire” just by sitting on him!

Konnor Bartholomew vs. Zachary Rodell

The bell rings as K-Bar looks down upon Rodell. The size difference is absolutely noticeable, and K-Bar shakes his head as Rodell sizes him up. Suddenly, Rodell starts swinging, but his shots do little more than graze K-Bar! Rodell then runs back against the ropes, but gets blasted by a charging shoulder block from K-Bar! Rodell rolls into the corner, and as he stands up, gets a face full of fists as K-Bar begins to lay into him. Rodell only takes a few punches before falling, but K-Bar isn’t finished. He grabs Rodell, and thunderously Irish Whips him into an opposite corner. K-Bar then charges…but Rodell goes down, and hits a low drop on K-Bar’s knee that causes him to go headfirst into the top turnbuckle! Rodell then begins kicking K-Bar to keep him unleveled, but that strategy doesn’t work long. K-Bar viciously shoves Rodell away, and when Rodell moves back in, he finds himself the victim of a tossing Belly to Belly suplex!

Harvey: Just like I said, we’re definitely seeing a different side to Rodell here tonight. Just staying on top of Konnor Bartholomew there.

Chase: The only different side I saw there was Rodell’s back hitting the canvas!

K-Bar moves in, and grabs one of Rodell’s arms. He pulls Rodell to a sitting position, and then slams him with a closed fist across the face! J-Bar repeats this maneuver, jerking Rodell back to a sitting position every single time. However, on one stalled attempt, as he pulls Rodell up, Rodell wraps his legs around the neck of K-Bar! He twists his body, and turns it into a chokehold move! K-Bar uses his massive strength to lift Rodell into the air, but he holds onto the chokehold! After uselessly pounding his dumbbell-like fists on Rodell’s back, K-Bar runs over, and slams Rodell’s back into the turnbuckle! He continues this motion, and it looks as if Rodell is going to let go, but he locks his arms around the neck of K-Bar, and swings his legs before dropping K-Bar with a DDT! Rodell throws a hand over him…

Kickout by K-Bar!

Harvey: Jonnor Bartholomew is just so large and powerful. He basically just picked up Zachary Rodell from the canvas, and slammed him all around the ring!

Chase: Zachary Rodell? More like Zachary Rod-ell! He’s like a twig in how small he is!

Rodell gets up, and begins to hammer into K-Bar with a series of fists! K-Bar covers up, and as he sits up, pushes Rodell away with a hard shove. This causes him to bounce off the ropes, and return with a Shining Wizard…but K-Bar ducks it, grabs Rodell, and lifts him up into the air. K-Bar nails him with a backbreaker, lifts him back up, and drops him with a neckbreaker! Rodell writhes in pain, and K-Bar quickly locks a knee bar submission hold. Rodell rolls, trying to get out of the move, but he can’t! He begins to crawl towards the ropes, and actually manages to make it! K-Bar wastes no time getting across the ring, and watching Rodell use the ropes to pull himself up.

Harvey: Thought Rodell was a goner after that vicious knee bar!

Chase: I do believe that was the most quintessential move he could have used at that moment against Rodell…

Harvey: Dammit, he’s not even out here!

Rodell manages to pull himself up finally, and turns just as K-bar rushed forward…but in a move of great athleticism, Rodell leapfrogs K-Bar, causing him to go shoulder first into the steel post! K-Bar turns around, and walks right into a dragon spiral kick! However, he doesn’t go down, and merely stumbles. Rodell runs against the ropes, and hits a running palm strike on him, but he still doesn’t go down! Rodell rebounds for one more…but this time, K-Bar catches him with a spear! Rodell holds his stomach in great pain as K-Bar makes the cover…

Kickout by Zachary Rodell!

Harvey: Zachary Rodell was almost broken in half right there!

Chase: Yep, no recovery from that!

K-Bar lifts up Rodell, and goes for an Alabama Slam…but Rodell wiggles in mid-air, grabs K-Bar’s neck, and goes down with a neckbreaker! Both men are down, and they slowly pull themselves up. Rodell is first, and hits a dropkick to the face K-Bar, before connecting with a sick kick to K-Bars face to take him down! Rodell then goes on the turnbuckle, and leaps off for the Dubstep Drop (720 degree senton drop), but K-Bar moves! Rodell crashes and burns, and K-Bar gets up quickly. He grabs Rodell, but Rodell spins out of his hold and drops him with the Sanguine Kiss! Rodell makes the cover…

Winner: Zachary Rodell

Rodell’s music hits and Rodell begins to celebrate his victory

Harvey: I think Rodell may have gotten out of his slump

Chase: A win two weeks in a row, thinks are looking up for him.

Rodell continues to celebrate as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

“Land of Hope and Glory” sounds off throughout the arena. A few bars play and APW’s only quintessentially English wrestler, Julius Farquhar, steps into the arena, dressed in his wrestling gear and looking ready for a fight. There are a few reports of boos and cheers from the audience, the appropriate response to a lower-mid card heel.

Harvey: Here comes Julius Farquhar, a man who has been making a name for himself lately here in APW

Chase: Him and Zachary Rodell haven't been getting along.

Julius walks to the ring without much pomp and circumstance. This, it seems, will not be an occasion for celebration. Julius in the ring and he has a mic.

Julius: Last week’s Overdrive was supposed to be a glorious day in my career. Not only was ‘The Quintessentially English Show’ being disseminated to the ignorant masses [heat from the crowd], but I was also going to continue to show all of you my technical superiority in this ring. Neither thing happened.

Some of the audience respond to that ‘cue’ with a few cheers.

Julius: My moment in the spotlight was rudely interrupted, and with it the opportunity for every single APW fan to improve his or her life for the better. I’m telling you now, if you give up the coca-cola and the mountain dew and you start drinking any kind of English tea, your life will improve. It’s true, people, and one day you’ll thank me for it.

More heat from the audience.

Julius: However, that is for another time and another place. Tonight I have one thing in mind: Justice. I want justice for that cowardly assault against me last week. Here I was, educating the mental defectives of America, doing a good thing for the people and some chump comes from the backstage area and attacks me viciously and with cowardice. That scoundrel is Zachary Rodell.

A small pop from the audience.

Julius: Rodell, I bet you thought you were smart to come and attack me when I was vulnerable. I mean, what kind of a human being are you to attack a man when there are rare and expensive teas being handled? I’m not one to cry over spilt tea leaves, but this is exactly the kind of philistine behaviour I came here to root out. So, right now, we’re going to have the second edition of ‘The Quintessentially English Show’ and the lesson today is ‘how to beat a scoundrel to within an inch of his life’. So Zachary Rodell, if you want to fight me, face to face like a real man, then get yourself to this ring now!

Another pop from the crowd, the biggest of this segment so far, as they anticipate some impromptu action.

Harvey: Farquhar has laid down a challenge to Zachary Rodell here – he wants a fight now.

There is no response from the backstage area. The crowd start chanting for Rodell. Farquhar has a grin on his face.

Chase: It’s like Julius said, Darren: Rodell doesn’t have the cojones to face Farquhar.

Harvey: He did exactly that last week, and gave this pompous idiot something to think about.

Julius: What did I tell you? When it comes to a straight fight, Zachary Rodell doesn’t have...

Farquhar is interrupted by music from the PA. It’s ‘I am a Real American’ and the crowd pops as the APW’s favourite jobber Mr. Dangerous walks out with a mic. Farquhar looks confused.

Mr. Dangerous: Now, look here, Mr. I’m-better-than-everyone-else Englishman. You got a lot to say for yourself, and I know you like to keep going on and on about how you’re the [in a mocking tone] APW’s only quintessentially English wrestler. But what I want to know is: are you dangerous?

The crowd pop with laughter. Farquhar is a look of real bewilderment on his face.

Julius: Who the bloody Hell are you?

Mr. Dangerous: I’maaaa Daaangeeeerous!

Mr. Dangerous drops the mic and charges to the ring. Farquhar is all over him though and soon presses the worst wrestler in APW into a corner, unloading a series of hard closed fists. Farquhar whips Mr. Dangerous across and charges after him in search of a running clothesline. Mr. Dangerous moves away though and the momentum of Farquhar’s charges sends him halfway over the turnbuckle, and Mr. Dangerous gives him a nudge that sends over the top to the outside. Mr. Dangerous is so stunned by his own success, even though he did very little the turn of events gets the better of him and he starts dancing around the ring in celebration.

Chase: Look at this idiot!

Harvey: Mr. Dangerous may have just scored a moral victory here...but wait a minute, who is this?

It’s mystery guest time: a behemoth of a man has appeared from nowhere (probably from the crowd since nothing comes to be ex nihilo after all), and attacks Mr. Dangerous from behind with a clothesline. To paint a few details of this man: he is dressed in what looks like a butler’s or manservant’s livery, and he is wearing a mask, and he is physically stacked (or jacked). Said mystery man grabs Mr. Dangerous and plants him with a powerbomb of such brutality that ring shakes at its very foundations.

Harvey: Who is this man, and what is going on here?

Julius Farquhar is by this time back in the ring and he starts giving Mr. Dangerous a beat down, mounting him and smashing his face with hard rights. Farquhar drags Mr. Dangerous to his feet, lifts him onto his shoulders into torture rack position and its looks like Mr. Dangerous is going to be APW’s first recipient of the Tower of London, when the crowd pop and Zachary Rodell comes running down to the ring.

Harvey: Zachary Rodell is on his way to even up the numbers!

Rodell is in the ring and ducks a big boot attempt from the mystery man and then floors him with his a heel kick to the chest. Farquhar tries to blindside Rodell, but the latter blocks and counter with a couple of shots and then grabs the English man by the head and throws him over the top rope. The crowd pop. Rodell helps Mr. Dangerous to his feet and looks at Farquhar and the mystery man as they walk backwards away from the ring, Farquhar all the way shouting trash at Rodell, who gestures for him to return to the ring.

Harvey: Zachary Rodell, for the second week running, has shown up this quintessential jackass Julius Farquhar.

Chase: You embellish, Darren. But who is this mystery man we saw helping Julius?

Harvey: I have no idea, Johnny, but you have to believe that monster of man was lying in wait for Zachary Rodell, only Mr. Dangerous got out here first.

Chase: What an idiot that Mr. Dangerous is. The lesson is: don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong, or you’ll wind up getting hurt.

With that, Overdrive goes to Commercial Break

[President Jeff]

The camera shifts backstage, where Kurt Noble is standing with Shane West.

Shane West: I’m joined tonight by APW Overdrive Champion Kurt Noble! First off…. Happy Thanksgiving!

Kurt Noble: Same to yourself bud. You know what I’m thankful for on a day like this? I’m thankful that it’s been over a month since I won the Overdrive Championship from Johnny Rebel, and you know what that means? It’s been over a month since Johnny Rebel tried to beat me down just to humor himself. I’m fully healed from my One Night in Hell injuries, and now’s the time to focus on Christmas Chaos.

Shane West: You’re not worried Johnny Rebel is going to try and get the upper hand on you before your match?

Kurt Noble: How can he Shane? Johnny Rebel can’t lay a finger on me without losing his title shot. Rebel’s also not the most loved guy on the roster, so it’s not like he has someone to do his handywork for him. Johnny Rebel is just going to have to sit this one out, and-

?: Kurt Noble, always the bitter one!

Noble and West turn to face Rebel, who is behind the two with a big plate of turkey in his hands!

Johnny Rebel: Why’re you always trying to turn me into the bad guy? I’ve kept good on my promise just like I said I would! And hey, I can tell you’re doing better. You only lose the same amount of matches that you did before!

Kurt Noble: You just wanting to blab before you stuff your face, or does this actually have a point?

Johnny Rebel: Everything I say has a point, Mr. “I Can Apply for Handicap Parking.” I came to offer you…a gift. Consider you the horrible, genocide causing Pilgrim to my humble, kind Native American!

Rebel holds out the plate…and Noble just shakes his head.

Kurt Noble: Last thing I need is to eat the rat poison you put in that. Sorry Rebel… taunting me didn’t work, and neither will poisoning me. You’re not getting around this one. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a match to get ready for.

Noble eyes the food Rebel brought, before walking off. Rebel just frowns as West looks at him.

Shane West: Can I have some? I haven’t gotten to eat today-

Johnny Rebel: Oh, Shane, didn’t see you standing there!

Shane West: Oh…thanks. So I guess you’re just going to have to wait until Christmas Chaos to get your hands on Noble, won’t you?

Johnny Rebel: Well…not quite. Just wait until next week Shane, and you’re going to see Noble himself get rid of this hands-off clause…just wait!

Rebel walks off as Shane reaches for a turkey leg. The scene fades to ringside

Just before The Dark Eternal Night plays through the speakers the lights go out. The song plays for a few seconds before a yellow spotlight shines at the top of the ramp. Barkly is facing the ring with his arm open and a smirk on his face.

Paige: Introducing first, making his way to the ring, weighing tonight at 202 pounds, he is BARKLY JONES!

After a few moments in that pose he does a simple walk to the ring making his way up the stairs and stepping between the ropes before jumping on the second rope and pointing to his chest with his thumbs.

Harvey: And here comes Barkly Jones, fresh off an impressive debut last week.

Chase: He has a certain swagger to him that I really do admire.

"No Shelter" by Rage Against the Machine starts playing over the loud speakers as the man known as Michael Jennings comes out from the back with his girlfriend October Candy on his arm. Behind him is the group known as Urban Decay. The crowd boos them as they enter the ring and start posing. The music stops playing as October climbs out to the floor as Michael gets ready for a fight, with Urban Decay also safely tucked away on the outside.

Paige: And his opponent, weighing in at 218 pounds…Michael Jennings!

Harvey: Speaking of swaggering, look no further than the verbose Michael Jennings.

Chase: Look just because you aren't as educated as men like myself and Michael Jennings is no reason to start taking pot shots at him.

Harvey: Regardless, Michael Jennings will be looking to gain some momentum after his loss to Kurt Noble on this very program last week.

Barkly Jones vs. Michael Jennings

The match begins with both men taking measure of each other, both slightly afraid to make the first move. The men walk closer to each other, beginning to jaw off but the jawing is quickly put to an end as Barkly Jones jacks Jennings jaw. Try saying that ten times fast. Barkly Jones tries to use the opening to his advantage but just has he is about to come off the ropes, October Candy grabs hold of his leg. Jones begins to argue with her giving Jennings enough of an opportunity to drill an elbow into the back of Jones' head. Candy bounces around for joy on the outside of the ring.

Harvey: The bell has barely rang and October Candy is already making her presence felt.

Chase: The lady has to earn a living, you have to learn to be more considerate.

Jennings grabs Jones by the back of the hair and rams Jones' head into the turnbuckle. He releases Jones and as Jones turns back towards Jennings, he is dropped just as quick with a snap suplex. Jennings keeps hold of Jones and picks him back up, trying to drop Jones down with a brainbuster. However, Jones manages to flip out of the suplex hold and lacks back on his feet. Jennings turns around in an attempt to keep his momentum flowing but he is met with a swift kick to the face.

Chase: I'd hate to foot the bill for that kick.

Harvey: Barkly is proving right now that he can take advantage of any opening given to him.

Momentarily dazzled from the forceful kick of Jones, Jennings looks out on his feet. Jones keeps up to advantage by delivering a few quick jabs in the general area of Jennings. Satisified that Jennings has been worn down, Jones grabs Jennings and lifts him up for a suplex. He holds Jennings in the air, keeps on holding, keeps on holding...

Keeps on holding.

Harvey: This is an amazing display of strength from Barkly Jones, keeping the heavier Jennings in the air for what, ten, fifteen seconds.

Chase: Urban Decay are starting to get antsy on the outside.

Finally, he after a good ten seconds he drops Jennings back down. Jones floats over on the suplex, going for the quick win.

No! Jennings easily kicks out at the count of two. Frustrated at Jennings resilience, Jones begins to give the still downed Jennings a few stiff stomps to the gut. Jones begins to scale the top rope, looking to . October Candy realises what's happening and jumps up on the apron. With the referee distracted, Jester of Urban Decay springs into action, shoving Barkly Jones off the top rope. Jones goes crashing down to the mat hard. Satisfied with a job well done, Candy jumps back off the apron.

Harvey: And again this little posse of Jennings' interferes in the bout.

Chase: Now, now, these guys don't work by the hour. There's no trip to Sizzler if Michael Jennings loses this match.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Jennings catches the events the preceeded and begins to crawl towards the doubled-over Barkly Jones. He stretches his arm out and the referee drops

Jones manages to kick out at the last second as Candy looks on in frustration. Both men begin to regain their bearings as they struggle to their feet. Jennings gets back to his feet first, and is quick to pounce. He spins Jones around and goes for the Empire Falls but Jones manages to push him off, sending him away with enough power to go chest first into the ring ropes. As Jennings begins to stumble backwards, Jones begins to grab him at the waist. Jones attempts to lift Jennings up for a German Suplex but Jennings manages to elbow his way out of it.

Harvey: Neither man is willing to let the other get the upper hand right here.

Chase: We're looking at two very evenly matched competitors. If I was Barkly Jones, I'd be starting to get very concerned about Urban Decay on the outside.

As Jennings manages to power out of Jones' grasp, he once again tries to grab the winded Jones' and drop him with the Empire Falls but Jones once again pushes him off. This time however, Jennings manages to hold himself in place. The two men begin to struggle with each other as Jones tries to pull in Jennings in a piledriver attempt. Jennings manages to break free from Jones' grasp though and on his third attempt manages to take down Jones with the Empire Falls. Jennings is quick to drop down for the cover.

Winner: Michael Jennings

Jennings rolls out of the ring and begins to head back up the ramp, October Candy and Urban Decay following closely behind. He throws up his arms in victory as he reaches the top of the entrance, turning around to face the crowd. Jones begins to sit back up in the middle of the ring, completely stunned at what just happened.

Harvey: Well, in the closing moments he may not of needed them but Michael Jennings certainly got by tonight with a little help from his friends.

Chase: Barkly Jones may be waiting another week for the APW Website front page story. One things for sure though, those Urban Decay boys are going to Sizzler.

Overdrive cuts to a scene backstage: it’s the men’s locker room. Julius Farquhar is pacing backwards and forwards, the mystery man who helped him earlier in the show is standing behind him. Shane West enters the room. Farquhar turns and finds himself face to face with the reporter.

Julius: What do you want?

Shane West: Well, I’m sure all the APW fans would like to know what was going on out there. You called out Zachary Rodell, got Mr. Dangerous, and then this mystery man turns up to help you out.

Julius: This mystery man, Shane West, is my Manservant. You see, I can’t trust the APW management to guarantee my safety against cowardly attacks like those perpetrated against me tonight, as well as last week, so I’ve taken matters into my own hands and employed my own protection.

Shane West: And the attack on Mr. Dangerous...was that intended for Zachary Rodell?

Julius: Oh, Zachary Rodell will get his comeuppance; I can assure you of that.

Shane West: The mask, can I ask why this ‘Manservant’ is wearing a mask.

Julius: If you want to try and take that thing off and reveal his identity, be my guest.

Shane West looks at Manservant who clicks his fists and makes a low guttural sound. West gulps.

Julius: I didn’t think so. Now get out of my locker room.

Shane West turns about heel. The scene cuts to commercial

[President Jeff]

Harvey: We have a big tag team bout coming up now on Overdrive. Johnny, this is a division that has really taken off over the past couple of weeks.

Chase: You’re right, Darren. Ever since Red Shield Mafia won these straps at One Night In Hell they have taken the tag team division to a new level.

Harvey: Well, that may be your opinion alone Johnny. What I do know is that the Mafia were lucky to leave Overdrive last week as Champs after the San Diego Seagulls pushed them all the way.

Chase: It doesn’t matter how you get the job done, Darren. The only fact this Red Shield Mafia will be concerned about is the fact they still have the belts.

Harvey: True. But then you add to the equation this new tag team of Warren Peace and Jay Gatsby. They call themselves ‘The Fortunate Sons’ and they have really made an impact in APW since their debut a couple of weeks back.

Chase: Well, jumping playas from behind is one thing; tonight we’re gonna see if these boys can back up all that big talk.

"We are 138" by The misfits begins to play as the lights dim. Two spot lights are seen now on the stage as Jay Gatsby stands on the right, his head down and his right fist in the air. Warren Peace stands on the left, his arms in front of his, joined together with his index fingers pointing up as Warren is deep in thought. After about five seconds, both men start to make their way down to the ring.

Paige: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Making their way to the ring; they have a combined weight of 425lbs; the team of Warren Peace and Jay Gatsby...THE FORTUNATE SOOOONS!

Once at the apron, Jay slides under the ropes as Warren climbs the turnbuckle and stops for a moment, taking in the chorus of boos from the crowd before dropping down to the mat.

“Forever,” by Drake, hits the PA, and the arena lights go dim. Pyro showers from video screen as fireworks shoot from the stage, with J.R. Kingston and Young Mannie walking through the fireworks. Kingston has a bandanna around his face, while Mannie smokes a blunt, wearing his glow in the dark outfit. Their manager, Damien Walker, carries the Tag Team Title Belts for them as they head down the ramp.

Paige: And their opponents, accompanied by Damien Walker, at a combined weight of 450 pounds, they are the APW Tag Team Champions, the team of Young Mannie and J.R. Kingston...THE RED SHIELD MAAAAFIA!

As they reach the ring, Mannie puts out his blunt, and Mannie slides in under the ropes while J.R. Steps through to enter the ring. Kingston removes his bandanna and shadow boxes, while Mannie stands there grandstanding for the fans. Walker hands the belts to the ref, who raises them high in the air.

Non-title Tag Team Match
Red Shield Mafia (c) v The Fortunate Sons

The bell rings and we have JR Kingston and Jay Gatsby starting us off. Both men are a little tentative to begin with start to circle the ring. Kingston’s body language oozes confidence and Gatsby gives a nervous look over his shoulder at Young Mannie. Eventually, the action gets started. Gatsby eases his way towards Kingston and offers an arm for a collar-elbow tie-up but Kingston is having none of that nonsense: he toe kicks Gatsby and then locks him a side headlock. Gatsby tries to get out, but Kingston applies the pressure and tugs at his opponent’s neck. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing with this Gatsby manages to summon to the strength to push himself and Kingston into one of the turnbuckles, but still Kingston’s grip is iron-like. Doubly unfortunate for Gatsby, it happens to be RSM’s corner and Young Mannie tags himself in. Kingston pulls Gatsby upright and Mannie comes off the top rope and takes one of The Fortunates Sons down with a punch to the head.

Harvey: A strong start to the match for the tag champs.

Chase: I like this Mafia, Darren. Chicks. Weed. Cash. That’s what I’m all about.

Young Mannie has Gatsby on his feet. Mannie whips Gatsby against the ropes and tries to follow up with a roundhouse kick, but Gatsby ducks, continues through to the opposing ropes and comes right back at Mannie with a springboard body press. The takedown is followed by a cover and an immediate kick out by Mannie. Gatsby moves across and tags in his partner Warren Peace. Peace is quickly amongst the action and puts Young Mannie back on the mat with a running knee to the face. He covers, but Mannie kicks out quickly again.

Harvey: Good team work by The Fortunate Sons as they apply the pressure to Red Shield Mafia.

Chase: I think my boy Mannie will be seeing stars for all the wrong reasons after that knee to the face.

Harvey: Warren Peace continues his offense against Young Mannie....using the ropes for leverage...low dropkick.

Chase: He’s look hot right now.

Harvey: Peace is not done yet...standing senton splash and the cover...this could be the match...

Young Mannie throws an arm up.

Chase: That was close, Darren...too close for comfort.

Jay Gatsby gives his partner the call for a tag. Peace gives him a thumbs up, but before the tag he drags Young Mannie across the ring, gives him a few forearm clubs to the back of the neck and shoulders, locks in the abdominal stretch in the corner and then tags in Gatsby.

Harvey: This is so impressive from these two youngsters.

Chase: Kingston knows his homie is in a mess of trouble now. He is desperate for a tag.

Gatsby is into the ring and delivers repeated strikes with his fists and feet as Peace gives Mannie’s abdominal a good ol’ fashioned stretching. The ref comes across and orders Peace out of the ring and tells Gatsby to get on with it. Gatsby drags Mannie to his feet and after a few choice words he whips him across the ring, but on this occasion Gatsby didn’t engage his brain because he whipped Young Mannie into the RSM corner and JR Kingston tags himself in.

Chase: Here we go! Kingston gonna take care of business!

Gatsby charges across the ring to try and rectify his mistake but Kingston his quickly on the top rope and quickly airbourne, nailing Gatsby with a flying leg lariat. Kingston makes a cover...

Harvey: Warren Peace in to break up the count.

Kingston is quickly on his feet and ready to brawl with Peace, but the ref intervenes and orders Peace away. Kingston mouths off and lifts Gatsby up, tying his arms in the ropes. Kingston shouts something and gets a crowd pop before carving into the chest of Jay Gatsby with repeated knife edge chops. The ref starts the count and Kingston steps away on four. Gatsby is freed by the ref but walks straight into a t-bone suplex. Kingston tags in Young Mannie, who quickly gets to it and lands a springboard moonsault. However, he doesn’t cover his foe, but gets up and starts to showboat and taunt at Warren Peace, who is shouting some trash of his own right back.

Harvey: Johnny, we’re seeing a little bit of arrogance out there from the tag champs.

Chase: Mannie...he’s just giving the fans some. This boy is so good, he just wants to be recognised.

Harvey: Well it could be a mistake...and we’ve got a roll up...

Young Mannie kicks out aggressively from Jay Gatsby sneaking behind and pulling off the school boy roll-up.

Harvey: That is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about.

Both men get to their feet and exchange a few shots, but Gatsby is aggressive and doubles Mannie with a toe kick and then plants him face first with a DDT. Damien Walker is up on the apron running interference. The ref tells him to get down and Gatsby starts talking trash at him. Gatsby looks like he is going to knock Walker’s block off when Warren Peace comes running around the ring, pulls the manager of RSM off the apron and floors him with a huge clothesline. Peace gives a celebratory taunt and doesn’t hear the warning of his partner because as Peace turns straight into a Yakuza kick from JR Kingston.

Harvey: Oh! I think I just saw a couple of Warren Peace’s teeth come out there.

Chase: That’s what I like about this Mafia...they look out for their kin.

Meanwhile in the ring Young Mannie blindsides Jay Gatsby and plants his face onto the mat with the 420 driver. Young Mannie makes the cover...

Jay Gatsby kicks out at the last possible moment.

Young Mannie tags in Kingston and stomps Gatsby a few times before lifting him into an electric chair position. He tells Mannie to climb the turnbuckle and turns so that both he and Gatsby have their backs to Mannie.

Chase: I think we’re about go to Red Alert!

Young Mannie leaps off the turnbuckle indeed looking for the backstabber to complete the red alert, but Jay Gatsby pulls off one of the all time tag team spots and somehow pulls off a midair cutter on Young Mannie, with the momentum also dragging down JR Kingston. The crowd pop ecstatically. Warren Peace has recovered and climbs the top rope. He pulls a pose and then leaps off and hits Kingston with a double knee drop.

Harvey: Unbelievable! What a reversal by Jay Gatbsy and Warren Peace! Gatsby has Kingston covered...

Harvey: The Fortunate Sons have this wo....no!

Chase: Haha! Damien Walker to the rescue!

That’s right the manager is on hand to drag the ref out of the ring and stopped what would have been a certain fall.

Harvey: Damien Walker saved the tag titles for his team last week, and he may have just saved them from defeat tonight.

The Fortunate Sons are furious and exchange words with Damien Walker. Jay Gatsby has had enough. He grabs the top rope and springboard planchas over the top and onto Damien Walker outside the ring. Gatsby lands on top of Walker and starts pummelling his face with all he can muster. Warren Peace is laughing in the ring, but not for very long because JR Kingston takes him from behind, sets him up and crushes his brain with...

Chase: THE LAST MEAL! THE LAST MEAL! IT’S OVER!

Kingston covers Warren Peace. The ref starts counting...

Chase: Why has he stopped? What’s going on?

JR Kingston realises the ref has stopped and the count and starts shouting at him. The ref tries to explain that Warren Peace is not the legal man. Kingston is up and grabs the ref by the collar and starts barking at him. The ref pleads that Peace is not the legal man and points at Jay Gatsby, who is still give Damien Walker reconstructive facial surgery next to the commentator’s table.

Harvey: Kingston had the wrong man pinned.

Chase: This is an injustice!

JR Kingston exits the ring and pulls Gatsby off Walker, locking in the Royal Flush. Gastby starts tapping frantically but it doesn’t count one iota out there. Young Mannie joins the action and tries to superkick Gatsby to the face, but The Fortunate Son lives up to his name because he manages to duck and it is JR Kingston’s face that gets up close and personal with Mannie’s boot. Gatsby reacts quickly and drops Young Mannie with standing dropkick to the chest.

Harvey: It’s all gone absolutely bonkers out here.

There is a bit of downtime as all interested parties recover from the disorder that has overcome this match in the past few minutes. Gatsby is up first and rolls Kingston in to the ring. Gatsby climbs the top rope and tries to land the Resentment but Kingston gets his knees up.

Harvey: They just can’t put each other away these two teams.

Chase: This is the fighting spirit that makes Red Shield Mafia the champs.

Peace and Mannie are back on the apron. Both Gatsby and Kingston are looking for the tag and both make it at the same time. Peace back body drops Mannie face first onto the top rope and then rolls him up with the school boy.

Winners: The Fortunate Sons

Harvey: A big win tonight for The Fortunate Sons.

Chase: I have to say it – but those boys, Gatsby & Peace, brought it all tonight.

Harvey: It was a great match up, and you have think Johnny that The Fortunate Sons have a legitimate claim on The Red Shield Mafia’s tag team titles; and let’s not forget the San Diego Seagulls either.

Chase: It’s all building nicely for an epic match at Christmas Chaos.

Harvey: I think you may be 100% right about that Johnny.

Fortunate sons celebrate their victory as we go to commercial.

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance March no.1 in D" ("Land of Hope and Glory") bursts forth from the PA. Julius Farquhar steps through the curtain carrying a flagpole bearing the cross of St. George. He waves the flag around and walks to the ring ignoring the insults being hurled at him or any attempts to touch him.

Paige: Coming to the ring: from Windsor, England; he weighs in at 248lbs...he is “quintessentially English”...JULIUS FARQUHAR!

Farquhar is inside the ring, waving the flag around. He climbs onto each turnbuckle and waves the cross of St. George to all corners, before discarding it and preparing to face his opponent.

'Cult of Personality' hits on the PA system as bright white and red strobe lights flicker around the arena. Nathaniel steps out from the back, and casually walks to the top of the ramp. Some fans begin to boo him, but his "cult-like" following overshadows them with their deafening cheers. He gives a sadistic grin to the crowd before throwing his hands in the air as Pyro goes off around him.

Paige: And his opponent, from Indianapolis, Indiana, weighing in at 242 pounds, NATHANIEL……HAVVVVVVVVOK!

Nathaniel then begins to casually walk down the ramp, hopping onto the ring apron, and climbing the rope. He taunts the crowd before jumping over the ropes, and into the ring. Nathaniel runs the ropes a few times, getting a feel for them before the match. He then takes his shirt off, tosses it into the crowd, and stands in his corner as the music dies out.

Nathaniel Havok Vs Julius Farquhar


The bell rings and Julius starts doing some boxing moves with some punches, nearly hitting Havok. Havok backs to the corner and tells the ref to get Julius to stop it. The ref signals for both guys to get the match going. They lock up and Julius ducks behind Havok, and Julius lifts Havok up and takes him down to the mat. Julius gets in front of Havok in a front face lock. Havok some how grabs Julius arm and is able to get out of the front face lock and has Julius in a hammer lock. Julius gets his leg on the bottom rope and the ref calls for the break. Havok lets go of the hammer lock, gets up and begins stomping on Julius and then pulls him up to his feet and chops him and Julius stumbles back to the corner. Havok chops him again and then pulls him out of the corner and kicks Julius in the cut and snap suplexes him. Havok floats over for a cover

Chase: I doubt Havok is going to let anything like that happen

Havok lifts Julius up and Julius thumbs Havok in the eye and throws him into the ropes, taking him down with a drop toe hold. Just as Havok is trying to get up, Julius drops a knee on the back of Havok’s head. Julius gets up and drops another knee and then another on Havok’s head. Julius lifts Havok up and hits him with a European uppercut, sending Havok to the mat.

Harvey: He calls that the English Uppercut

Chase: Why not the European Uppercut? Isn’t he from Europe?

Harvey: I just inform everyone on what people tell me for move names.

Julius lifts Havok up and gives him a snap suplex and then covers

Havok runs at Julius and Julius pulls down the top rope and Havok goes over the top rope and to the floor. The ref backs Julius away from the ropes.

Harvey: Havok took a big fall there to the outside.

Chase: Hold on a second, who’s that coming out here?

We then see Pence Weatherlight running down the entrance ramp. Havok gets up and gets tackles to the mat by Pence and Pence starts unleashing a fury of punches. The ref calls for the bell.

Winner by DQ: Nathaniel Havok

Harvey: I think this may be pay back for Havok costing him his match against Johnny Rebel last week.

Pence continues to throw punches on Havok. Julius Farquhar gets out of the ring and pulls Pence off of Havok and then shoves him.

Chase: Julius isn’t happy that Pence got him disqualified.

The two exchange words and then…





Harvey: ITS PRESIDENT JEFF!!! HE’S BACK!!!

Jeff comes down to the ring. By this time, Havok has rolled back into the ring and Pence and Julius looking on. Jeff goes over to Nicky Paige and takes the microphone from her

Jeff: I know that APW faithful paid good money to see Julius Farquhar and Nathaniel Havok beat the crap out of each other, and I know they paid good money to see a finish that isn’t bullcrap. I’ll be standing out here to make sure Pence doesn’t get involved again. Havok, I’ll deal with you later. Mr. Referee, Ring the bell and restart this match

The fans cheer as the ref calls for the bell

Winner: Nathaniel Havok

The music dies out, and Jeff makes his way into the ring. Not far behind Jeff, is the Xtreme Champion. As they stand in front of Nathaniel, Jeff lifts the mic to his face.

President Jeff: Nathaniel, oh Nathaniel. Where do I begin with this? I’ll just cut right to the chase. You and I, we’ve gone round and round with this for quite sometime now. All I wanted, was for you to reach your full potential. Honestly, that’s all I was ever trying to do! But you, you saw fit to blame me for a few losses along the way. You thought it’d be smart to make me your enemy, just because you can’t take responsibility for your own actions! But this time, you crossed the line. You crossed a line Nathaniel, that you wont be coming back from!

Nathaniel looks very confused. As he stares at the APW President, he continues to scream “I didn’t do it”.

President Jeff: I know it was you, Nathaniel! Who else could it have been, but you? You’ve been talking about causing bodily harm to me for a long time now, and you finally grew yourself a set of balls! To be quite honest, I never thought you’d actually grow a set, but you proved me wrong. But now, it all stops here! You see Nathaniel, it’s time for me to get some payback, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do! Because at Christmas Chaos, you’re going to have yourself an Xtreme Championship match with Pence Weatherlight.

Nathaniel looks at Jeff with a look of relief on his face, as to say the simplicity of this match will be easy.

President Jeff: But Nathaniel, we’re not through yet! Because after you’re done with Pence… If he leaves anything left of you, you’re going to pull double duty… AGAINST ME!

The fans go nuts, knowing that President Jeff is going to be competing at the Pay Per View.

President Jeff: That’s right, Nathaniel! I hope you’ve got a clean pair of underwear back there in the back! Because I have the feeling that after hearing that news, you’re going to need them!

Jeff smirks at Nathaniel, and directs Pence to exit the ring. Pence makes his way to the apron, and down to the floor. As Jeff starts to leave the ring, he gradually turns back around and looks at Nathaniel.

President Jeff: Oh yeah, Nathaniel. I did forget to tell you something, Pence as well. Pence, I told you that you couldn’t touch Nathaniel, and I had a good reason for it.

All of the sudden, Jeff takes the micraphone and bashes Nathaniel in the head with it. He then lifts it back to his face…

President Jeff: Because this bitch is all mine!

With that said, Jeff jumps on top of Nathaniel, hitting him time after time with the microphone. With Nathaniel busted open and unconscious, Jeff drags the Enforcer of Sorrow to his feet.

Chase: The President’s gone nuts, Harv!

Harvey: Nathaniel Havok had it coming! Now what?

Jeff kicks Nathaniel in the gut, and delivers a neck breaker to the former Xtreme Champion.

Chase: No, he’s not done yet! He’s going outside for something!

Harvey: A chair! The APW President has got a folding chair!

Jeff makes his way back into the ring, and begins to bash a prone Nathaniel with the chair over and over again. With blood everywhere, Nathaniel is seemingly unconscious. He hasn’t moved for a minute, even though Jeff is continuing to pummel him with a steel chair. All of the sudden, Pence jumps back into the ring, taking the chair from Jeff, and pushing the boss away from Nathaniel.

Pence: That’s enough, boss! That’s enough! Save it for the pay per view! Come on, save it for the pay per view!

Chase: I never thought I’d say this, but thank God for Pence Weatherlight!

Harvey: I’ve never seen that side of Jeff before! Nathaniel Havok got exactly what he deserved for his cowardice attack!

Pence walks Jeff to the back, as Jeff smiles at what he’s done to Nathaniel Havok. Overdrive then heads to commercial break as EMTs come to assist Nathaniel.

[President Jeff]

As the camera cuts back stage, Cindy Shannon stands their looking here best with a microphone on hand. The promotionbal material behind her is hyping up Christmas Chaos and Overdrive; as she is given a signal she begins to speak as a chorus of cheers builds up from the fans in the arena.

Cindy Shannon: Well APW, its good to be here tonight, and I have one hell of a surprise for you. APW.com has been going crazy this week with the supposed leaks on the main page, and I guess its time to put those rumours to bed. Let me show you what happened last week on Asylum.

The screen shows footage from this past Sundays Asylum where Santa Claus put a beat down on Chris Cyrus leaving him lifeless in the ring.

Cindy Shannon: Trust me kids, that wasn't the real Santa. With me now I have APW's worst kept secret...

Cindy takes in a deep breath as the returning APW superstar emerges onto the corner of the screen.

Cindy Shannon: A former APW tag team champion.. A former CWC North American champion.. The returning BLADE!!!...

The noise in the background quickly turns to boos as last time they saw Blade he had turned his back on the fans and the APW vowing to never return again.

Cindy Shannon: Blade, thanks for coming here to clear a few things up. Can you fill us in on...

As Cindy begins to question Blade, he snatches the microphone and stands tall above her.

Blade: That will be all for now, you can go.

Blade motions cindy of the camera as he positions himself. He isnt dressed for wrestling tonight and looks like he is ready for business. The chorus of boos from the crowd increase as Blade smirks as he hears them roar.

Blade: APW.. It's good to be back. I thought i was done with all of this. The fans; the reporters and even the wrestlers that are out there pretending to be something they are not week in ad week out; the thing is there is something that will never die inside of me. Whether i went to the clinic or whether i took a vacation, that is information you dont need to know.

Blade clears his throat.

Blade: You see, I had no intention of revealing it was me returning; I had no intention of signing the contract until the night before Christmas Chaos; and as you saw on Asylum, I damn well his my identity because I didnt want to excite you all just to break down your hopes and let you know that i care less for you now than i did six months ago. it was fun to see the reaction of everyone; "Oh no, whats Santa doing?" "Even though we hate Chris Cyrus, he can't do that?!"; it was great to see the hatred in peoples eyes knwoing that there was someone out there cruel enough to do it; and i guess that person was me.

What i didnt like was the fact that some schmuck sat in corporate, screwed up and associated my name with everything that is happening. Now the cat is out of the bag, I may as well continue.


Blade shakes the hair from his face and takes his jacket off revealing a shirt with the slogan "The first cut is the deepest" plastered all over it.

Blade: You see; I may have turned up on Asylum to seek revenge on Chris Cyrus, but thats where I sever my ties. That punk needs to be got, and Christmas Chas will be the right time for that. He can invite me on whatever show he likes, but it will always have the same outcome; me coming out on top. Cyrus, You were the one that put me out of actionl or at least thats the way i see it; you now become a pawn in my game, but the pain and the angst i will put you through, you will be hoping that the new year comes around sooner.

Once my business there is done; I have unfinished business to take care of on Overdrive; The place that will once again become my hunting ground once again.
