Overdrive - Seattle, Washington(12/01/11)

[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: The last Overdrive of 2011

Harvey: a Big show we got planned tonight with a huge main event

Chase: We’ve had a history of having epic main events for the last Overdrive of the year, including Level One Verses Twister in 2008. Biggs Vs Shadow in a 2 out of 3 falls match in 2009, and last year with an 8 man tag match between Sally Talfourd, Derek Wellings & The Exchange Rate Vs Level One, BDC & The Red Shield Mafia. But non, bigger than tonight’s main event.

Harvey: 6 man tag actions, on one side, Biggs, Johnny Rebel and Nathaniel Havok, taking on CJ Gates, Kurt Noble and Pence Weatherlight

Chase: PPV quality match, free on TV. You gotta love it

Harvey: Nicky Paige is in the ring, lets go to the ring to hear what she has to say.

The camera cuts to the ring

Paige: Please welcome at this time, Seattle Washington's own, the number one contender for the Undisputed Championship......BIGGS!



“Spaceman,” by The Killers, hits the speakers as dark blue, teal and silver confetti falls from the ceiling. Biggs enters to a more positive reaction than normal, though there are still plenty of boos, adorned in navy blue ring gear with teal and silver accents. His jacket has a huge Seattle Mariners logo made up of rhinestones on the back. He dances down the ramp towards the ring.

Chase: Just listen to the reaction that Biggs is getting here in his hometown! Finally, some people that appreciate him like I do!

Harvey: I can only imagine what this loudmouth will have to say tonight!

Biggs reaches the ring, and slingshots himself over the top rope into the squared circle. The confetti continues to fall as his music fades and the light come back to normal. There's almost an even mix between the loud boos and a “BIGGS! BIGGS! BIGGS!” chant that has gotten started. Biggs pauses for a moment before beginning to speak.

Biggs: Can I just say that it's great to be home!

There's still an even mix of cheers and boos.

Biggs: Tonight is very special to me, because it is the first time in seven years that I get to wrestle a match here in my hometown of Seattle, Washington!

This draws a cheap pop.

Biggs: Now I know that there are some of you out in the crowd tonight that can't put your personal emotions about me behind your civic pride, but the fact of the matter is that in 17 short days, I will be doing something that hasn't happened in Seattle since 1979 when the Super Sonics won the NBA Finals, and that is bring a major Sports Championship back to this great city!

Harvey: He forgot to mention the Seattle Storm Women's Basketball team which won the championship in both 2004 and 2010!

Chase: Nobody counts Women's Basketball as a major sport!

Harvey: How disrespectful!

Biggs: The simple fact of the matter is that I am proud to be from Seattle...



The Washington State Anthem, “Washington, My Home,” begins to play as Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn enters the arena.

Biggs just glares at the mayor as he makes his way down the ramp, waving enthusiastically to the crowd. He has the ref hold the ropes open for him, and he calls for a mic once he's in the ring.

McGinn: Biggs, let me be the first to say welcome home! As the mayor of this great city, I have certain powers and privelages, one of which being declaring city holidays! With that in mind, I'd like to declare today, Thursday, December 1st, 2011 as Biggs Day here in Seattle!

This gets a mixed reaction, which seems to be the theme for the night so far.

Biggs: Listen, Mike, can I call you Mike?

McGinn: Sure...

Biggs: I wasn't asking! In any event, Mike, as flattered as I am by this ultimately token gesture on your part, the fact of the matter is that you screwed it up just like you've screwed everything up since becoming Mayor! If you really wanted to honor me, you would've declared today Biggs day early this morning, so I could actually have celebrated it! But since you're declaring it so late in the day, I don't even get the chance to reap the full benefits of what's supposed to be my day!

McGinn stammers as he responds.

McGinn: I'm-m-m s-s-sorry. I mean, you still get the giant chocolate Key to the City!

Biggs: Do I look like a man who eats a lot of chocolate to you? No, I don't! Because I'm not a disgusting slob of a pig like you! The only thing that stinks worse than your politics is your odor! Now get out of my ring this instant!

McGinn: This is an outrage! You can't talk to me like this!

Biggs: The heck I can't!

At this point, Biggs slugs Mike McGinn right in the face to thunderous applause from the crowd! Security rushes down to the ring to pull McGinn out and escort him back up the ramp. Biggs flashes his trademark smirk before continuing to speak.

Biggs: So I may get in a wee bit of trouble for that later, but I gotta admit, boy did that feel good! But as much of a screw up as he is, McGinn got one thing right. Because tonight is all about me! Because in the Six Man Tag Main Event, I'm going to show C.J. Gates exactly what he's going up against come Sunday, December 18th at Christmas Chaos! I'm going to show him what it's like to face off against the next APW Undisputed Champion!

Because the fact is, C.J. Gates, as much as you like to claim otherwise, you are not the true APW Undisputed Champion! Both of your victories with that belt on the line have been suspect at best, and I will prove to you once and for all in our Iron Man Match that when push comes to shove, you are an inferior wrestler to me!

As Biggs is speaking, he has his back turned to the ramp. The fans begin to cheer as C.J. Gates comes running down the ramp!

Harvey: It looks like C.J. is out here to get payback for last week!

Biggs sticks his arms out, soaking in the cheers that he thinks are for him. He turns around right as C.J. slides into the ring and pops up to his feet! Biggs goes for a quick clothesline, but C.J. ducks it, catching Biggs with some hard punches to the face before connecting with a Standing Dropkick that sends Biggs toppling into the ropes! C.J. then runs up and gives Biggs a huge Clothesline over the top rope and to the floor! The fans are going wild for C.J. as he stands in the ring, pointing to the hometown challenger. Biggs is absolutely furious at ringside, kicking the ring steps and yelling at C.J. as he begins to head back up the ramp!

Chase: What a travesty of justice here! This was supposed to be Biggs' night! This is his homecoming night, and C.J. Gates ruined it, that rat fink!

Harvey: First off, C.J. was just getting even with Biggs for last week! Secondly, who still uses the term rat fink!?

Chase: I do!

Biggs pauses and turns at the top of the ramp, steaming, as Gates has a microphone in his hand.

C.J. Gates: Before you go storming off to the back, Biggs, I figure that there is something you'd like to hear."

Biggs takes a few steps back toward the ring, and the cameras can pick up him saying "How dare you ruin my night! How dare you!". Gates smirks.

C.J. Gates: How dare I? You've spent another night telling everyone that I don't deserve the title that I beat you twice for, once to win and once to defend. You've spent countless weeks attacking me, and the moment I get some payback for it all, you point the finger at me and call me the bad guy.

But that's beside the point. Because what I wanted to let you know Biggs, is that at Christmas Chaos, there will be a winner. There will be a victor and there will be no doubt about it. This past week I spoke with Jeff and he agreed that since you've been giving me so much trouble about the way our previous matches ended, he and I figured that this match should be fought fair and square.

Biggs glares at C.J., who smirks.

C.J. Gates: And what that means, is that if you hire anyone to lend you a hand to beat me, then they will be suspended. Weapons? Means a disqualification loss against your total. And the same goes for me. Basically, Biggs, if you try and gain an advantage, you could end up costing someone in APW their career, and costing yourself the APW Undisputed title.

The fans are cheering at the prospect of a clean match and Biggs just smirks as he raises another microphone up.

Biggs: You know what, that's fine by me because now you can't get a cheap victory! Besides, it's not like you have a chance, because at Christmas Chaos, I am going to win my title back and show you that I am OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Harvey: Did you hear that Chase? No interference allowed in that Iron Man match!

Chase: Good! Now Gates can't cheat Biggs out of the title!

The fans are still cheering while Biggs and Gates stare at one another as the show cuts to commercial

[President Jeff]

The scene comes back from commercial, where we find ourselves backstage, following the Enforcer of Sorrow Nathaniel Havok. As he walks down the hall, he comes to a dead-stop in front of the office door of President Jeff. Nathaniel doesn’t even bother knocking, as he forces the door open quickly and bursts into the room.

Havok: Hey ya Jeff, how the hell…

Nathaniel stops in mid-sentence, as he sees President Jeff sitting at his desk as usual. But on the other side of the desk, sits none other than the APW Xtreme Champion, Pence Weatherlight. Nathaniel looks stunned, befuddled right where he stands.

Jeff: Mr. Havok, is there something that I can do for you?

Nathaniel stares at Pence and Jeff for a minute longer, not saying a single word. He then begins to chuckle to himself, still looking confused. He then shakes his head in disapproval, walking backwards out of the room. He rolls his eyes before turning, and walking out of the room for good. The scene then fades back to ringside.

Harvey: And now for our first match of the evening as Barkly “The Barkman” Jones takes on Tommy Knoxville.

Chase: Now, do we know for certain Tommy Knoxville is even here tonight? Has he been heard from since he stormed out of his own match at last weeks Asylum.

Harvey:As far as we know, he's in the building.

The guitars begin to sound as "American High" by Machine Head plays over the arena. The lights dim and the entrance stage fills with smoke as dark red and white strobe lights flicker over the arena. The drums in the intro begin to beat heavily as it echoes over the arena. A bright white light shines from the entrance way as the silhouette of a man stands there. The guitars then begin to play heavy as Tommy Knoxville walks out from the back and out into the open. He stands there on the stage for a moment with his arms by his side as he looks over the arena getting mixed reactions from the fans. He then begins to slowly walk down the aisle as a loud voice fills the arena.

Harvey: Looks like he's decided to show up after all!

Chase: Of course he has, never doubted him for a second.

Paige: Introducing first, making his way to the ring at this time, he is Tommy Knoxville!

The song continues to play over the arena with power as Knoxville slowly approaches the ring. He then slides into the ring and climbs to his feet. He walks around the ring for a moment just before walking over to the corner and looking over the crowd once more. He then climbs the turnbuckle and holds his arms out looking above pumping his fist with the music. He then jumps down and spins around facing the center of the ring by the time he lands on his feet. Bouncing back and forth staring across the ring in the opposing corner Knoxville prepares himself as the music slowly begins to fade.

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.

Harvey: After an impressive debut, Barkly lost a step against Michael Jennings last week, he'll be looking to rebound here tonight.

Chase: I'm not sure Tommy Knoxville is the man I'd be looking to at as a rebound choice.

Paige: And introducing his opponent 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. The two men stare each other down.

Tommy Knoxville vs. Barkly Jones

As the match begins, both men begin to circle the ring, neither taking their eye off the other. This is quickly broken up by Barkly Jones just going for it, spearing Tommy Knoxville down to the ground. Barkly then mounts Knoxville and begins pounding away, fist after fist aimed directly into the face of Tommy. The referee begins pulling Barkly off of Knoxville and succeeds in doing so. As the referee and Barkly begin to argue with each each, Tommy uses the situation to his advantage, delivering a sneaking low blow to Barkly. Barkly tumbles down to the ground.

Harvey: This match is getting dirty and vicious quickly.

Chase: We have two angry men in the ring set out trying to prove themselves. Of course it's going to get vicious.

Knoxville goes on the immediate attack before the referee can even take time to take in what just happened. He begins stomping down Barkly's face repeatedly, over and over again. He follows up the barrage of stomps with a few of his own facial blows before grabbing hold of Jones' tights and pulling tightly. The referee however notices the tights pull and begins to admonish Knoxville, refusing to acknowledge the count. Now it's Knoxville's turn to bicker all about the joint with the official. Barkly gains enough awareness of what's happening and crucifixes Knoxville. The referee is quick to the count.

NO!

Harvey: The rule bending is rampant in this match and it could very well cost one of these two men the contest.

Chase: They're both looking to stand out from the crowd and a little bending of the rulebook will do just that. Both men just have to pick their spots.

Knoxville manages to roll free from the clutches of Barkly's crucifix. However Barkly keeps a grip on one of Knoxville's arms. He attempts to lock in an armbar but Knoxville again sneaks in a sneaky cock-punch, alllowing Barkly's grasp to loosen. Thankfully for Knoxville the referee was distracted by a shiny penny on the ring apron. Knoxville grabs hold of Barkly's legs and flips over for a jacknife pin.

NO!

Barkly manages to break free from Knoxville's lies.

Harvey: Lots of pinning combinations going on in tonight's opener.

Chase: When you are desperate for a W, you're going to take any opening you can get.

The two men then begin to get back up, swinging wildly at each other as they do so. The second both men get back up, Barkly attempts to pull in Knoxville for the Piledriver but Knoxville manages to reverse it into a backdrop, sending Jones back down to the mat. Knoxville is quick to act on the downed Jones, running of the ropes and tries to he a giant legdrop but Jones is quick enough to roll of of the way. With Knoxville stunned in an upright position, Jones nails Knoxville with a dropkick right to the face. With Knoxville down on the mat, Jones follows through with a big fist drop right to the already attacked face of Knoxville. Jones goes for the pin following the first drop.

Knoxville once again manages to kick out.

Harvey: Barkly Jones perhaps over-estimating the power of his own fisting there.

Chase: Not the first time it's happened in this industry.

Knoxville is able to roll out of the ring to the floor and Barkly goes after him. The two start brawling up the entrance ramp

1.…2...3...4.…5.

Harvey: These two may want to get back to the ring

6.….7.…8.

They are still brawling away from the ring and the crowd begins to boo the both of them

9.…..10

Winner: No Contest

Chase: Really?

Harvey: When was the last time this happened?

Chase: Its been a while

Knoxville and Barkly continue to brawl with each other and then officials and road agents come out and break the two of them apart and we cut backstage

The scene opens live from the parking lot area as an ambulance has just arrived on the scene backing up into the loading dock...There is a APW camera is fresh on the scene as the backdoors open and it’s no other than Young Mannie who is still in his sickly & recovering state as he is still feeling the effects from his dehydration...Damian Walker and JR Kingston are quick arrive and to help Mannie out the ambulance as he is still wearing his oxygen mask while wobbling back & forth, Mannie is incoherent as Damian & JR hold him up as they walk towards the corridor...The EMT’s from the ambulance shake their heads.

EMT: Listen! I was told that this guy is not cleared to wrestle, Let alone walk...So if you ask me...They will see a live death in that ring tonight...That’s all I can say...

Cindy backs away as the doors close on the ambulance and the scene fades to commercial

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following contest is 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.

The crowd boos them as they enter the ring and start posing. The music stops playing as Bobby and October climb out to the floor as Michael gets ready for a fight.

Winner: Michael Jennings

Jennings has his hand raised as his music plays

Chase: Tough break for Konnor here tonight

Harvey: If he wants to make it in APW, he’s gonna have to try harder than that.

Jennings celebrates as we go backstage

We switch to the back where “Simply Put” Johnny Rebel is standing in front of Kurt Noble’s locker room with a neatly wrapped present waiting in his arms.

Rebel: He’s going to love this!

Johnny knocks on the door and waits a few seconds for a response. After what seems like an eternity, Rebel knocks a second time and this time is met with Noble’s manager, Madea.

Madea: What do you want?

Rebel: In the spirit of the holiday season, I’ve brought Kurt an early Christmas present!

Madea: [after a brief pause] I don’t get it? What’s the catch?

Rebel: There is no catch. I realize I’ve been pretty rough on Kurt since he’s joined the APW and since we’re at a cease fear and I can’t lay my fist upside his head like I really want to do I thought I’d get him an early Christmas present.

Madea: I don’t have time for your games—if this is just another shenanigan than you won’t have to wait for Kurt to get back here, I swear to God I’ll kill you myself!

Rebel: I’ve been called a lot of things during my time in APW and most of them by Kurt himself but a liar I am not! I promise that I don’t have any ulterior motives here; I’m just trying to spread a little Christmas cheer! I’m not somebody who goes against their word and I’ve signed a contract with Noble and I plan on honoring that by not laying a hand on the old man until Christmas Chaos. I might even honor the pact tonight by staying away from Kurt in the main event. Besides, with Pence on the apron with those two goons they are already down a man anyway!

Madea: Which is exactly why I need Kurt at the top of his game tonight! If you’ll excuse me I’ve got to find Kurt and make sure he’s focused!

Madea grabs the package from Rebel and shoves him through the door with her other hand. Rebel smiles and walks away as we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

Overdrive returns to ringside and the camera is pointed at our commentary duo.

Harvey: Christmas Chaos will soon be upon us and amongst all the big title matches there has been a situation developing over the past few weeks between two of the newest members of APW in Julius Farquhar and Zachary Rodell.

Chase: A situation? I would say it has become a full-on grudge Darren. Zachary Rodell is jealous of Julius and the exposure his quintessentialness has been given.

Harvey: I’m not quite sure it’s how you tell it Johnny, but one thing I am certain of is that Zachary Rodell has begun to realise he needs to make an impact in APW. Anyway, Julius and Rodell will face each other at Christmas Chaos and our next match will give us a little taste of what we can expect from them. Julius teaming with his ‘manservant’ to take on Rodell and Mr. Dangerous, who was on the end of a beating at the hands of Manservant last week.

“Land of Hope and Glory” disseminates from the public address system. It is greeted by a chorus of boos as Julius Farquhar steps through the curtain with his bodyguard and tag team partner for the night: Manservant. Julius waves around an English flag he is carrying and slowly walks towards the ring.

Paige: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by his tag team partner Manservant, “Quintessentially English”...JULIUS FAAAAAARQUHAR!

Julius reaches the ring area and walks around the ring waving his flag. A few fans in the front row give him some heat. He ignores the bigger guys, but stops at some skinny kid and raises the back of his hand; the kid flinches, Julius smirks and rolls into the ring.

Harvey: What a tough guy!

Chase: I think you need to show a little more respect to the only quintessentially English wrestler in APW.

Harvey: Give me a break.

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, accompanied by Michelle Bishop, 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 centre 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: Introducing one of their opponents: being accompanied to the ring by Michelle Bishop, he weighs 205lbs...ZACHARY ROOOOOODELL!

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.

“Real American” hits the arena and there is a sizeable pop for Mr. Dangerous as he steps from behind the curtain.

Paige: Introducing his tag team partner: he weighs 160lbs...MR.DAAAAANGEROUS!

Harvey: A great reception for Mr. Dangerous who enjoys a cult following here in APW.

Chase: How is this guy on the payroll?

Harvey: Because the fans love him, and just look he’s milking the applause...oh, wait a minute...

Chase: [laughing] He’s tripped over!

In his exuberance at the crowd’s response Mr. Dangerous, on his way to the ring, has indeed tripped over his own feet and crashed face first into a speaker.

Harvey: Oh dear, another characteristic mishap from Mr. Dangerous.

The initial response from the crowd is laughter, and Julius bursts into hysterics. The laughter soon turns to worry as Mr. Dangerous does not move. Rodell slides out of the ring and goes to check on his tag partner for this bout as medical staff come scurrying down the ramp. It seems Mr. Dangerous has rendered himself unconscious.

Harvey: I think we may have a serious problem out here. Mr. Dangerous appears to be out cold. I’m not sure he is going to be able to compete.

Chase: The only person Mr. Dangerous is a danger to is himself.

Spotting an opportunity, Julius grabs a microphone.

Julius: Hey Rodell! I’m ready to fight; this match goes ahead, whether or not your loser tag partner can compete.

Rodell looks at Julius with a look of venom. He starts shouting something at Julius and gesticulating at the fallen Mr. Dangerous.

Julius: If you are afraid Zachary, I will understand...

Chase: He’s right, Darren. This match should still go ahead.

Rodell grabs the ref who has come to check on Mr. Dangerous, points at the ring and charges.

Harvey: It looks like Rodell agrees.

Z-Ro slides under ring but Julius and Manservant are all over him: Manservant stomping a mudhole, and Julius drops to his knees and starts clubbing the back of Rodell’s shoulders. The ref is in to break up this double team and tells them there must only be one in the ring.

Harvey: A cheap double team by Farquhar and his manservant.

Chase: If Rodell is going to charge into the ring like that against two men, what do you expect?

Harvey: Yeah, that is a real bravery isn’t it. A two-on-one against a man who has just seen his partner for this match knocked unconscious.

Julius sends Manservant to the corner and the ref calls for the bell to start the match.

Tag Team Match
Julius Farquhar & Manservant vs. Zachary Rodell & (?)Mr. Dangerous(?)

Rodell is slowly getting to his feet, but Julius wastes no time continuing the offense. Julius pulls Rodell to his feet and scythes through his chest with a couple of knife edge chops and then knocks Rodell backwards onto the ropes with the English uppercut. Some members of the crowd have started chanting ‘Julius sucks’, but the Englishman ignores these and puts both hands around Rodell’s throat and applies a blatant choke, with the top rope keeping Rodell upright.

Harvey: This is outright cheating!

Chase: Pipe down, or you’ll give yourself an aneurysm.

The ref starts a mandatory count and Julius walks away at the count of four. He throws out a taunt which gets some heat from the crowd, but it is a mistake to take an eye of Rodell because as soon as Julius draw his attention back to Rodell the latter charges off the ropes and takes Julius down with an arm lariat. The crowd pops for Rodell. Both men get to their feet; Julius clutching his throat. Rodell is the first react and hits a standing dropkick that sends Julius into the ropes. Rodell salutes to the fans, bounces off the ropes opposite Julius and runs across the ring looking for a tiger feint kick but the Englishman drops off the ropes in time. Rodell is on the apron now. Z-Ro waits for Julius to get to his feet, leaps onto the top rope and drops the Julius with a springboard shining wizard. Rodell covers...

Chase: I don’t think a knee to the face like that does anything for Julius’ good looks.

Rodell whips Julius against the ropes and tries a spinning back fist but Julius ducks and carries on through to the next set of ropes which he holds on to, looking for a breather. He spots Manservant nearby and tags in his partner. Manservant steps into the ring and walks over to Rodell. Rodell is 5’10’’/205lbs; the Manservant looks close to 7’ and around the 300lb mark. It is a mismatch if ever there was one.

Harvey: This Manservant is a big unit, Johnny.

Chase: Well if you looking for some protection, you’re not gonna hire some 150lb ringing wet schoolboy are you?

Both men continue to stare at each other (except Manservant’s face is hidden by a mask). Rodell decides to act first: two open palm strikes have no effect. Rodell uses the ropes for momentum and tries to clothesline Manservant – he connects with Manservant’s wardrobe like chest and the big man remains unmoved. Rodell tries the move again but Manservant grabs by the shoulders this time Biel throws him across the ring. Julius burst into laughter on the apron. Manservant walks across to Rodell and repeats the move.

Harvey: Manservant is tossing Zachary Rodell around this ring like a rag doll.

Chase: Julius is hysterical on the apron. He seems to be loving every second of this physical domination.

Rodell gets to his feet and attacks Manservant with two open palm strikes, but they are like feathers brushing against his face. Manservant grabs Rodell again, but Z-Ro, encouraged by Michelle, counters with a spinning backfist that knocks Manservant off balance. Z-Ro spots a moment of chance, bounces off the ropes but in countered and slammed into the mat with vicious high angle spinebuster. Julius calls for the tag, Manservant walks across and tags in his ‘boss’. Julius is into the ring and provoking heat from the crowd. He stands over Rodell and talks a lot of trash before making a cover...

Rodell gets a shoulder up.

Harvey: Way too much time wasted by Farquhar.

Chase: Darren, I wouldn’t expect you to know anything about showmanship, but Julius is working the crowd here. He could pin Rodell any time.

Harvey: Then why didn’t he do it there? He’s an obnoxious show off.

Julius lifts Rodell to his feet and gives him a few chops to the chest. With Rodell doubled over, Julius gets into position for a back drop suplex. However, Rodell reverses by rolling off the shoulders of the quintessential one and jabs him a couple of times in the face. Julius is off balance and Rodell toe kicks him, setting him up for the Sanguine Kiss, but with a deliberate thumb to the eye blocks the move. Rodell stumbles away holding his face, Julius drops to one knee to consider his options.

Chase: What intelligence! What tenacity! What awareness!

Harvey: What a cheat!

Julius charges Rodell but gets taken down with an arm drag. Julius is up quickly, but Rodell is quicker still and follow a toe kick drops his foe with a swinging neckbreaker. The cover is made but Manservant is in quickly to break up the count. The ref ushers Manservant back to the corner giving Julius the opportunity to drop Rodell with a low blow. The crowd boos. Julius tags in Manservant.

Manservant is quickly all over Rodell with hard stomps. Manservant pulls Rodell to his feet and tosses him again across the ring with the Biel throw. Manservant lifts Rodell up into a turnbuckle and smashes his chest with a huge open palm. He does this three more times and Rodell drops to his knees in agony, trying to re-fill his lungs after those crushing blows. Julius is on the apron shouting across to Manservant.

Harvey: Farquhar seems to issuing some instructions to his Manservant.

Chase: I think he is telling him to ‘punish’ Zachary Rodell.

Manservant lifts Rodell over his right shoulder, belly to belly, and on the prompting of Julius runs across the ring and drills Rodell into the mat with a running powerslam. Now Julius wants in. Manservant walks across and tags in Julius, who climbs to the top rope and again takes too long about things, and by the time he has taken to the air looking for his Lancaster Bomber Rodell has rolled away and Julius gets himself got.

Both men are down on the mat and both look to their corners; the difference being Julius can tag in Manservant, but Zachary Rodell is all alone with Mr. Dangerous still being attended to outside the ring. Both men get to the ropes and use them to get to their feet. Julius, the fresher of the two, spins Rodell around to face him and throws him across the ring with a belly to belly suplex. Julius mounts Rodell and gives him a succession of punches to the face. He makes a cover...

Rodell kicks out!

Harvey: Zachary Rodell is showing a lot of spirit in what has effectively become a handicap match.

Chase: I’ve got no sympathy for this kid. He knew what a goof that Mr. Dangerous is, and to step in the ring with not only Julius Farquhar, but his Manservant too – well he is just getting what he deserves for being so arrogant.

Harvey: Arrogant? If Farquhar had a set he would have offered a one-on-one.

Chase: Look, Julius was booked to wrestle a tag match, and that is exactly what he is doing.

Harvey: Yeah, against one man!

In the meantime Julius had tagged in Rodell and has given him and instruction to break Rodell’s back. Manservant has Rodell’s head between his legs in a powerbomb set-up. Manservant pulls Rodell up and drills him into the mat with a sitout powerbomb. Julius, on the apron, instructs Manservant to do it again. Manservant lifts Rodell up and is about to nail the move in the ring when Mr. Dangerous suddenly slides under the bottom rope...

Harvey: Mr. Dangerous...what the...? He’s back in the match!

Mr. Dangerous charges across the ring and tries to spear Manservant. However, Mr. Dangerous being a mere 160lbs, and Manservant weighing in around 300lbs, you can imagine the result, i.e. Mr. Dangerous just bounces straight back off Manservant and rolls around clutching his shoulder in pain. The crowd are in hysterics and popping wildly at the return at the worst wrestler in APW.

Chase: Hahaha...what a goofy moron! Did you see the way he bounced off Manservant like a fly against a windscreen?

However, the intervention by Mr. Dangerous has given Rodell a chance to reverse and he starts punching and slapping frantically the face of Manservant. The final punch is a particularly fearsome one and it causes Manservant to stagger and allows Rodell to slide off the big man’s shoulders. Rodell tries to kick Manservant with his right foot, but the big man catches his foot. Rodell reacts quickly, yanking his foot away and spinning a full 360º to drop Manservant with a dragon whip kick.

Both Rodell and Manservant are down in the ring, and Mr. Dangerous has rolled out of the ring and taken his place on the apron, although he continues to favour his shoulder. Julius is calling for the tag from Manservant, and Mr. Dangerous has his hand offered to Rodell; Michelle is on the outside pleading with Rodell to get to tag in his team mate.

Harvey: Both of these men needing a tag. Whoever gets there first will surely the momentum in this match.

Chase: You are forgetting that Mr. Dangerous is in one of those teams.

Zach Rodell is closest to his corner so he wins the race and tags in Mr. Dangerous to a huge pop from the crowd. Manservant is just getting his feet and doesn’t appear to be thinking of a tag. Mr. Dangerous approaches the man giant and starts frantically beating his chest in an ape-like manner. Mr. Dangerous tries to roar at Manservant at the same time, the crowd pop, but Manservant wraps his huge hands around the throat of Mr. Dangerous and lifts him high into the air.

Harvey: Mr. Dangerous is in a universe of trouble here.

Manservant holds Mr. Dangerous in that position for about ten seconds and then plants him with a reverse sitdown facebuster. Rodell enters the ring and Julius follows suit. Julius runs at Rodell and attempts a clothesline, but Rodell ducks and back body drops Julius over the top rope and out of the ring. Manservant has Mr. Dangerous set up for a powerbomb, but Rodell prevents this with a running double leg sweep that takes both men down.

Harvey: The ref has lost control of this match.

Chase: He has, and now we’re seeing an illegal double team by Rodell and Mr. Dangerous.

Manservant gets to his feet and Rodell hits a few times with open palm strikes. Rodell kicks Manservant in the gut and tries to nail the Sanguine Kiss but Manservant counters by grabbing Rodell’s throat. It looks like Manservant is going to chokeslam Rodell when Julius slides into the ring carrying a cricket bat. Manservant turns so that he is facing Julius and Rodell has his back to him. Julius lines up the shot, but Rodell frees himself and jumps out of the way and Julius, going through the action of a running straight drive, plants the bat between Manservant’s legs. The big man’s eyes roll backwards as he sinks to the mat. Rodell nails Julius with the Sanguine Kiss and Mr. Dangerous crawls across and covers Manservant

Winners: Zachary Rodell & Mr. Dangerous

‘Real American’ blasts from the PA and Mr. Dangerous jumps onto a turnbuckle and starts celebrating like he’s just won the Nobel Prize. He joins Zach Rodell and Michelle Bishop in the ring, and Mr. D gives Rodell a huge hug that leaves Rodell with an awkward facial expression.

Harvey: Wow! A huge win tonight for Zachary Rodell and Mr. Dangerous. What do you think about that Johnny?

Chase: Just...don’t...speak...to...me

As the celebrations take place in the ring Julius and Manservant are in the aisle; Julius has a mic and the music cuts.

Julius: Hey Zero, you may be celebrating tonight, but tonight means nothing. When we get to Christmas Chaos I am going to make sure I embarrass and humiliate you in front of a packed arena.

The crowd boos.

Julius: In fact, so confident am I that I will beat you at Christmas Chaos that I am willing to put national pride on the line. Everybody here knows that I am the only quintessentially English wrestler in the world, and I intend on making you my first primetime example of the superiority of the English over Americans. On that note, I challenge you to a flag match.

Harvey: What the heck is a flag match?

Chase: Shut up and we’ll find out.

Zachary, like everybody else, looks confused.

Julius: It is quite simple: two flags, one English and one American, one empty flag pole, no disqualifications, and the first man to get his national flag at full mast wins.

Rodell: If that is what it takes for me to shut that pompous hole in your mouth, then I’m in.

The crowd pops. Julius has a smirk on his face.

Julius: It is going to be a great occasion, Zachary, when the flag of St. George is flying at full mast over your prone, mangled carcass.

“Land of Hope and Glory” blasts from the PA. Julius and Manservant make their way backstage, Julius with a huge grin on his face. In the ring, Rodell’s face is the picture of determination.

Harvey: That is a huge exclusive here on Overdrive: Farquhar and Rodell will contest the APW’s first ever flag match at Christmas Chaos.

Chase: I can’t wait. Put the celebratory tea on ice....no wait, that’s not right...

Overdrive goes to a commercial.

[President Jeff]

The scene cuts backstage where Shane West is standing with Nathaniel Havok.

West: Nathaniel… Earlier tonight, we watched you barge right into the office of the APW President. It’s obvious that you didn’t like what you saw, as you backed up and walked right out on Jeff, and the Xtreme Champion Pence Weatherlight. My first question is, why’d you even go into the office?

Havok: It’s simple Shane, even an idiot such as yourself should be able to comprehend it. Jeff thinks that I attacked him, which is as far from the truth as you could get. I simply went in there to plead my case, because I wasn’t involved in the attack. Jeff thinks that it’s easier to blame his “arch enemy”, instead of actually investigating the issue! It’s pure stupidity and laziness on his part, and I’m not going to take the fall!

West: Okay, and why the walk out? Why not plead your case right then and there? I know you weren’t being polite to them, by giving them their time to talk. Everyone knows that’s not like you.

Havok: Are you kidding me, Shane? I’m starting to wonder how you even got into community college, not being able to add 2 and 2 together! I’ve been telling the world for months now, that Pence and Jeff are working together on my APW demise! We’ve seen them together countless times, and yet everyone thinks that I’m nuts! Seriously? Is everybody blind? Finding them sitting in there together tonight, should be enough proof to convict them of their crimes!

West: And if they are? You deserve a lot that you’ve got coming your way!

Havok: Says you! I’ve done nothing in my time here in APW, but look out for myself! Jeff’s the one who’s been out to get me from my first day in this place! He wants me gone, because he knows in his heart that he was never better than me! They say to keep your friends close, and your enimies closer. I should have seen it coming when he signed me, I should have seen it coming from a mile away! But it’s okay, Shane! It’s all going to be just fine! Because at Christmas Chaos, I take back my APW Xtreme Championship! And after that, I get rid of the APW President! With Jeff out of the way and with Chaz Dillinger's financial backing, I will place a bid in with the bank, to take this place over! That means that Action Packed Wrestling will soon be owned and operated by the Enforcer of Sorrow, Nathaniel Havok! And when I do finally own it, I’m going to deliver the ultimate slap in the face to the FORMER APW President, by renaming this company the GLOBAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE… After the greatest professional wrestling organization to ever live!

Nathaniel chuckles, as Shane looks on in disgust.

Havok: APW fans, get ready for the takeover. At Christmas Chaos, the APW sees its demise, and the GWA… Will be resurrected!

Nathaniel Havok looks at Shane West with a cocky smirk on his face. Shane lifts the mic to his face, but Nathaniel pushes the mic back down. Nathaniel begins to chuckle hysterically as the scene fades back to ringside.

Harvey: The GWA? Is he serious?

Chase: Nathaniel’s always serious.

Harvey: He can’t do that! Jeff would never let that happen!

Overdrive goes to commercial

[President Jeff]

Paige: The next match is a triple threat, scheduled for one fall.

"Where Eagles Dare" begins to play throughout the arena as the fans get to their feet and give off a mixed reaction.

Paige: Introducing first, weighing in at 200 lbs from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...WARREN PEACE!

On cue, Warren comes out from the back with his arms out and a smile on his face. He makes his way down the ramp and climbs up the steps, taking a moment to shake his head at the crowd before climbing into the ring.

Harvey: Warren Peace and Jay Gatsby have definitely made a name for themselves in the short time they've been here.

Chase: Yeah, but they haven't proven anything.

“Fell Into Your Shoes” by Chevelle starts playing as Kate Horton comes out to a great ovation from the fans in attendance. She is wearing white ring gear with aqua and navy blue designs on them.

Paige: Introducing next, weighing 150 lbs from La Jolla, California...She is the current APW Tap Out Champion...KATE HORTON!

Kate high fives fans on the way to the ring. Once she reaches the ring she climbs in and then poses on the middle turnbuckle. After this she climbs down and their music stops playing as she gets ready for in-ring action.

Harvey: Kate Horton, and he partner Charles, have both been on fire since entering APW and could very well have been APW Tag Team champions.

Chase: Yeah, but they aren't. Then can talk about being close, but the fact is, they aren't the champions.

Lights go dim and the introduction of "Money Making Blueprint" goes off and pyros fall from the video screen in front of the entrance.

Paige: Introducing first, weighing in at 230 lbs from Harlem, New York...He is one half of the APW Tag Team Champions...J...R...KINGSTON!

As Kingston walks out through the pyro, he is wearing a bandana around his face only showing his eyes and brushing off the fans while bucking at them and giving them middle fingers! He finally reaches the ring and slides in, taking his bandana off and doing a bit of shadowboxing.

Harvey: Here is one half of the tag team champions and one wonders if they're in over there heads with two teams gunning for them.

Chase: Perhaps. But they did beat the current World Heavyweight champion at One Night in Hell. I'm sure they can withstand this.

All three competitors are in the ring sizing each other as the ref calls for the bell.

Warren Peace vs. Kate Horton vs. J.R. Kingston

As soon as the bell rings, all three competitors move in, but Peace backs off as Kingston catches Kate with some punches. A flurry of them knocks her back toward the ropes, allowing Peace to come in and drive a kick at the knees of Kingston. He clubs the slightly larger man in the back and kicks him in the knee again. This allows Kate to get her bearings and fire a few punches in on Kingston, knocking him back enough to allow her to climb to the middle turnbuckle and jump off, catching him in the head with her foot, knocking Kingston down.

As Kate gets up, Warren is on her, driving knees into her side. She punches her way to her feet, but Warren quickly grabs her and whips her into the ropes. On the rebound he goes down to hit a back drop, but Kate flips over his back, turns around and catches Warren in the back of the head with a dropkick. He is up quickly, but eats an axe kick for his troubles.

Harvey: Kate Horton is looking impressive in the early going.

Before Kate can catch her breath, Kingston grabs her from behind and lifts her up with a German suplex, but Kate flips through it. She bounces off the ropes and drives a hard knee into Kingston's gut before raising that same knee into his face. The tag champ backs off before taking a step forward and taking Horton down with a clothesline.

Chase: And that's why he's a tag champ, Harvey!

Peace is back up, and he drives an elbow into the back of Kingston twice before grabbing him by the head and dropping him with a reverse DDT. Peace is up and he hits a double knee drop on the champ, before getting caught off guard by Horton who flies in and hits him with a spinning heel kick. Peace falls into the corner and is momentarily dazed before rushing out, right into a drop toe hold from Horton! Peace falls onto Kingston and Horton quickly locks in an STF. She pulls back as the referee checks Kingstons shoulders.

Horton breaks the hold and the pin. He helps Peace to his feet before whipping him into the ropes and catching him with a clothesline that takes him down. She picks him up again and hits him with a snap suplex onto Kingston. For a third time she hauls him up and tries for another snap suplex, but Peace blocks it, reverses it and drops her with a front suplex.

Harvey: Horton nearly cost herself, and now, she's not looking too good.

Chase: I don't--

Harvey: In this match. Looks like Kingston is getting back to his feet.

Sure enough, he is. He staggers to his feet and moves toward Peace. He catches Warren with a heavy right hand, but his left is blocked and Warren jabs him in the gut. Kingston goes for another punch but Peace ducks under that one and brings Kingston down with a neckbreaker. Peace picks Kingston up and whips him into the ropes, catching him with a back body drop and going for a pin.

Horton breaks up the pinfall!

Harvey: Something seems off with Kingston here. He doesn't seem to be in this match one hundred percent.

Chase: Oh, don't worry. He'll turn it around.

Horton delivers a few kicks to Peace as he gets up, and he ends up grabbing one of them. Horton bounces before lunging forward with a punch to the face. Peace drops the leg and Horton kicks him in the gut, hooking him up and dropping him with a tiger driver. She holds it for the pin.

Kickout by Peace!

Kingston isn't far behind, and he headbutts Horton down to the ground. He picks Peace up and elbows him in the head, hooking him up for a powerbomb, but Peace reverses it and drops down in front of Kingston, knees him in the gut, and nails an impressive pumphandle slam. Peace gets up and gets taken down by a missile dropkick from Horton who scrambles over to Kingston and pins him.

Kickout by Kingston!

Harvey: Lots of pinfalls here, but no one seems to be getting the edge.

Chase: Give it time!

Kingston struggles back to his feet and all three are up. Peace and Kingston move in and double team Horton, driving knees and punches into her before whipping her across the ring. Peace moves up to meet her, but before he can do anything, Kingston drops them both with a well timed double clothesline. He stalks around before picking up Horton and tossing her out of the ring. He picks up Peace and tosses him into the corner hitting some rapid knife edged chops into his chest before whipping him across the ring and following in, hitting him with a clothesline that drops him to the mat. Kingston picks him up and drops him with a DDT. Horton is on the apron and Kingston pulls her in over the top.

Chase: See? I told you Kingston would come back to form!

Kingston hauls Horton up and lifts her up for a powerbomb, but Kate kicks her way through and lands on the top turnbuckle. Kingston turns around and gets a kick to the head from Horton, who leaps off with a tornado DDT, taking Kingston down. She's up though and quickly taken down by Peace who connects with a sidewalk slam and then covers.

KICK OUT!

Kingston is up and he catches Peace with a few forearms before whipping him into the corner and sizing him up for a yakuza kick. He moves in, but Peace meets him half way and drops him with a huge running STO. Horton is up, but Peace meets her halfway as she's still groggy and hits her with a stalling brainbuster.

Harvey: Warren Peace is turning the page here tonight.

Peace signals for the end and picks Kingston up. He whips him into the ropes and on the rebound, he back body drops him over the top rope and to the outside. Horton rushes in, and Peace ducks under her clothesline, turns around and drops her with a huge spinebuster.

Harvey: Looks like Peace is looking to end it here.

Chase: But that means Kingston will lose!

Peace picks Horton up and pulls her over to the corner and sets her up and nails her with a piledriver from the second rope.

Harvey: The Peacemaker!

Peace covers!

Winner: Warren Peace

Warrens music begins to play and Warren celebrates his victory.

Harvey: A big win here tonight for Warren Peace going into Christmas Chaos

Chase: Man, the Red Shield Mafia just haven’t been the same since winning those titles. Lets hope Mannie can go better in the next Triple threat match

Warren continues to celebrate as we go backstage.

The camera switches to the back where Kurt Noble is lacing his up boots while Madea looks onwards. After wrestling with the decision on whether or not to give Kurt the gift that Rebel handed her earlier, she goes against her better judgment and sets it on the table in front of Noble.

Noble: I thought we decided we weren’t giving each other gifts this year?

Madea: Trust me—it’s not from me. Johnny Rebel stopped by earlier to drop this off for you. I made sure that he understood we didn’t have time for his games and he swore that it was a legit gift.

Noble: You don’t actually buy that, do you? He will do anything to get some kind of advantage over me heading in to Christmas Chaos. He’s not exactly the type that will give a gift from the bottom of his heart!

Madea: I wrestled with the idea of even giving it to you but I figured that you would find it eventually and make a big deal about it. So, unwrap it and let’s get on with getting ready for the main event already.

Kurt reaches forward and starts to unwrap the box that was put before him by Madea. He digs down in to the box and pulls out a plush Johnny Rebel doll and tosses it in to the chair next to him.

Noble: Big surprise—even when something isn’t about him, it is!

Madea: I’m going to kill that son of a. . .

Noble: What’s the matter?

Madea puts a finger over her mouth to shush Noble while reaching out with her other hand to put across his mouth. After calming Kurt down, Madea points at the Rebel doll and begins shaking her head.

Madea: Give me that thing!

Noble tosses it to Madea who rips the chest open to reveal some kind of electronic device. She grabs it by the chord and rips it out and tosses the remaining Rebel doll over to Noble who is trying to hold back his laughter.

Madea: What are you laughing at! Rebel has probably been listening to everything that we’ve been talking about since he dropped off this dumb doll! I told him that if he did anything to distract us from getting ready for the main event that I’d rip off his arm! He’s a dead man!

Noble: Calm down, Madea! Rebel may be an idiot but he’s a veteran in this business and there isn’t a game plan that I could put together that he hasn’t seen before. Besides, tonight’s all about proving to the APW roster that I’m here to stay. I’ve had to listen to Rebel, Biggs and Nathaniel Havok broadcast to the world that I’m not good enough to be in the main event and it’s getting old. Regardless of if he knows my game plan for this evening or Christmas Chaos, he’s going to get my best shot!

As soon as Noble finishes his thought, the two look at each other as they hear a loud bang coming from outside in the hallway.

Madea: What was that?

Now it’s Noble’s turn to shush Madea as he tiptoes towards the door and slings it open quickly to find Johnny Rebel laying on the ground with a cup in hand—an obvious sign that he had been listening through the door. Rebel throws the cup at Noble’s face causing him to stumble backwards as Rebel jumps up and takes off running down the hallway and we go to commercial

[President Jeff]

Harvey: Second triple threat match of the night coming up. All part of the build up for what should be an epic bout for the APW Tag Team Championship at Christmas Chaos.

Chase: I’m really digging this three-way feud for the tag titles, Darren. Red Shield Mafia are currently the top dogs and I back them to keep the titles at Christmas Chaos.

Harvey: They will have a heck of a job doing that because they are up against two excellent tag teams: The Fortunate Sons have gained a lot of momentum on Overdrive in recent weeks, and we all know how talented and popular the San Diego Seagulls are.

Chase: I can’t disagree with that, but you have to admit Red Shield Mafia have the advantage of being the Champs and the experience to go with it.

Harvey: That’s if Red Shield Mafia make it to Christmas Chaos. There have been rumours circulating this week that Young Mannie has been in hospital, with some people suggesting Young Mannie will not even compete tonight.

Chase: I expect Young Mannie to front up here tonight.

Harvey: President Jeff has issued a statement that he expects Young Mannie to compete in this match.

Paige: The following triple threat contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first: from Carlsbad, CA; he weighs 192lbs and is one half of the San Diego Seagulls...CHARLES SCRIPPS!

“Fell Into Your Shoes” by Chevelle starts playing as Charles Scripps, one half of the San Diego Seagulls, comes out to a great ovation from the fans in attendance. He is wearing white ring gear with aqua and navy blue designs on them. Scripps high five fans on the way to the ring. Once he reaches the ring he climbs in and then poses on the middle turnbuckle.

Paige: Introducing next: from West Palm Beach, FL; he weighs 225lbs; he is one half of the Fortunate Sons...JAY GATSBY!

The lights go out as the opening to "Be somebody" by Fort Minor begin to encompass the arena. A spotlight is shown onto the center of the stage as a figure, wearing a hooded jacket and wrestling trunks, walks into the spotlight. He raises one fist into the air as some pyro erupts around him. He takes off the hood and the fans begin to boo as Jay Gatsby begins to slowly walk to the ring, a smug look on his face. Once at the apron, he slides under the ropes and then pops to his feet to begin his pre-match work out.

Paige: And finally: from Washington, D.C.; he weighs 220lbs, he is a member of Red Street Mafia and is accompanied by Damien Walker, and one half of the APW Tag Team Champions...YOUNG MANNIE!

The beginning of N*ggas In Paris airs through the area for a couple of seconds building anticipation, Young Mannie walks out from the backstage area looking a little worse for wear. He has Damien Walker for company, who seems to be holding Young Mannie up and encouraging him to take plenty of swigs from the bottle of water he is holding.

Chase: I told you he would be here.

Triple Threat Match
Young Mannie vs. Jay Gatsby vs. Charles Scripps

The match begins with a three way stand-off. I would say it is like the finale of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, but that would a gross exaggeration. Charles Scripps, being the most virtuous of the three, inches forward and looks most likely to initiate some engagement; Young Mannie, a little wobbly at the knees, and Jay Gatsby seem to be involved in some kind of confabulation. There is a nod of agreement and both men close in on Scripps together.

Harvey: I think Mannie & Gatsby have agreed some kind of temporary union here.

Chase: What genius, Darren! Eliminate Scripps and then fight it out amongst themselves.

Scripps is not going to let this ‘axis of evil’ bully him so he tries to take the initiative and starts swinging his arms, but Mannie & Gatsby overwhelm him and beat him down to his knees with a spray of hard shots to the head and the back of the shoulders. The crowd start booing, betraying their strong moral rectitude, or maybe just wanting an every-man-for-himself clusterfuck.

Harvey: This could be a long night for Charles Scripps.

Chase: I beg to differ: if this beating continues it’s going to be a very short night.

Young Mannie and Gatsby lift Charles Scripps onto the ropes and takes turns at using him as a punching bag. After half a dozen shots each, they whip Scripps across the ring and drop him to the mat with a pancake double team. Both men look really satisfied with themselves; Scripps doesn’t seem to be enjoying himself. Gatsby gives Mannie an instruction: they lift Scripps into a set-up and slam him into the mat with a double team suplex. Both men get to their feet, throw out a taunt and then look to cover Scripps, only to realise this is not an elimination match, but a mere one fall.

Harvey: I think this union is about to come to an end.

Chase: Yeah, only one man can win this match and we might just see Gatsby and Mannie fight for that privilege.

There is an argument between Mannie and Gatsby as they stand over Scripps. Gatbsy starts pointing and gesticulating angrily at Young Mannie who has a cool smirk on his face. Gatsby leans across and pushes Young Mannie. There is a pop from the crowd. Young Mannie looks at his chest, then he looks at the crowd, then at Gatsby and floors the fortunate son with a hard right hook. Young Mannie jumps on top of Gatsby and starts thumping him with a flurry of lefts and rights, Gatsby getting his arms up to try and protect his boyish looks.

Harvey: I don’t think Young Mannie took too kindly to Jay Gatsby’s conduct.

Chase: This is street justice – fist pounding flesh.

Meanwhile, no-one has taken any notice of Charles Scripps, who has recovered from his earlier beatdown. He sneaks up on Young Mannie and pins him with an Oklahoma roll-up.

Jay Gatsby breaks the fall with a double axe handle to Scripps.

All three men get to their feet: Scripps looks pumped; Gatsby is checking his mouth for blood; Young Mannie suspiciously looks from Scripps to Gatsby and back again. Gatsby tries to convince Scripps to team with him again against Mannie, but Scripps is having none of it. Gatsby looks to Mannie who is looking a bit groggy. Maybe the rumours about his ill-health are ringing true.

Harvey: I have to Johnny that Young Mannie doesn’t look too healthy out there.

Chase: He is an example to us all. He’s been in the hospital all week, but he is still out there putting his body and his career on the line.

Harvey: I’m not sure, you have to question why a guy who is obviously sick is out here competing.

Chase: One word: gangsta!

Scripps and Young Mannie meet eyes and converge on Gatsby beating him onto the ropes with some stiff shots. They whip Gatsby into the ropes and drop him with a double dropkick. Gatbsy staggers to his feet, using the ropes, but is soon sent over the top with a double clothesline from Young Mannie and Charles Scripps.

Harvey: Johnny, I’m having trouble keeping up with who is fighting who out there.

Chase: Don’t look at me for elucidation.

Scripps is leaning over the top rope and talk a big ‘ol bowl of trash at Jay Gatsby. His mistake to take his mind off Young Mannie, who is stalking the Seagull. Scripps turns around but soon has lights turned off courtesy of a superkick from Young Mannie.

Chase: Does that answer your question, Darren?

Young Mannie is standing over Scripps, giving him some verbal. Mannie runs to the ropes and tries to hit a springboard moonsault, but Mannie’s ill-health comes to the fore once more and he simply flops amongst the ropes.

Chase: Poor old Young Mannie, he’s desperately ill. He shouldn’t even be competing in this match. I can’t believe President Jeff hasn’t given him the night off.

Harvey: The doctors signed him off as fit to compete as far as I’m aware.

Meanwhile, Charles Scripps drags Young Mannie out of the ropes and puts him in the...

Harvey: LaBell Lock! Young Mannie has to submit!

Young Mannie starts screaming out in agony. He is close to the ropes, but not quite close enough. Scripps tries to increase the pressure, and it looks like Young Mannie is about to tap out when Jay Gatsby lets fly from the top rope and crushes both men with The Resentment. Gatsby rolls away clutching his abdomen following the impact of the move; Scripps is out on his back in the ring; Young Mannie has rolled out of the ring to get some respite.

Harvey: It’s been real and to and fro action in this match.

Chase: It is a mark of just how equal these competitors are, because none of them is able to land the decisive blow.

Charles Scripps slowly gets to his feet and is followed by Gatsby. The fortunate son is still feeling the effects of his earlier bomb, which allows Scripps to grapple him from behind and set-up the dragon suplex. Scripps tries the throw, but Gatsby pulls off a wonderful reversal, rolling out of the hold and landing with Scripps in an inverted headlock, which gives Gatsby the perfect opportunity the plant Scripps with a reverse DDT. Gatsby covers...

Damien Walker pulls the ref out of the ring.

The ref decides to give Walker a few choice words, but the ref is interrupted by Young Mannie who grabs him and drops him with a clothesline. Damien Walker and Young Mannie high five, and Walker points to a steel chair, which Young Mannie obliging grabs.

Harvey: I thought this guy was sick! Young Mannie has knocked out the ref and is armed with a chair. This is not good news.

Chase: This is great news – I feel some good old fashioned ultra-violence coming up.

Young Mannie slides into the ring with the chair and makes straight for his opponents, but he can barely lift the chair for his lack of strength and in the end Gatsby and Scripps combine to double dropkick the chair into the face of Young Mannie. The crowd pop at the violence; Damien Walker screams with devastation outside the ring. Jay Gatsby grabs the chair and swings for Scripps, but the San Diego Shooter ducks and with a knee to the kidney he causes Gatsby to drop the chair and present a perfect opportunity to slam Gatsby head/neck first into the mat with the terrifying dragon suplex and maintains the hold for the pin.

Harvey: Charles Scripps has the match won, but the ref is still out cold.

Chase: Look, business is picking up...

It is indeed because Warren Peace comes running down to the ring. Scripps breaks the hold as Peace charges him and floors him with a hard running knee to the face. Peace resuscitates Gatsby just as Young Mannie starts to get to his feet. They line him up and almost knock Young Mannie’s head off with a double superkick.

Harvey: The Fortunate Sons are laying down a marker here.

Chase: Wait, here comes JR Kingston.

The other half of Red Shield Mafia slides into the ring and tries to break Warren Peace in half with a sickening spear. Gatsby tries to blindside Kingston, but is caught and thrown across the ring with a t-bone suplex. There are bodies everywhere, but Kingston is not done. He grabs Scripps and sets him up for The Last Meal.

Harvey: JR Kingston is making a statement right now.

Chase: Not if Kate Horton has anything to say about it.

Before Kingston can complete The Last Meal, Kate Horton slides into the ring and takes Kingston’s feet from under him with a dropkick to the knee. Kingston, furious, tries to attack Horton, but she counters and flapjacks him face first onto the top rope.

Harvey: This is chaos – we have every single member of the tag team division in the ring right now.

Chase: It’s Christmas Chaos....almost!

What ensues is a six-person brawl. It goes on for a few minutes, but eventually Horton, Peace & Kingston end up brawling outside the ring, and this brawl spills into the crowd where they eventually disappear from the piece. This leaves our original line up of Jay Gatbsy, Young Mannie, and Charles Scripps in the ring. All three take a bit of time to recover and eventually all three are back on their feet in three of the ring corners. There is a bit of stand-off, which adds to the sense of anticipation in the audience, but eventually all three men rush to the centre of the ring and Charles Scripps comes out on top taking down his two foes with a double arm lariat. Young Mannie struggles to his feet but Scripps knocks him down with a couple of stiff kicks to the legs. Jay Gatsby tries to blindside Scripps, but the San Diego Shooter arm drags The Fortunate Son and follows this up with a front missile dropkick.

Harvey: Charles Scripps is on fire out there.

Chase: Action stations, Charles Scripps is gonna fly like a seagull.

Scripps is on the top rope and lets fly, but Jay Gatbsy counters with an inverted atomic drop, and Young Mannie completes a surprise double team with a jumping neckbreaker. Mannie looks to cover Scripps, but Gatsby takes Mannie into a waistlock and drags him to the centre of the ring. Young Mannie throws his right elbow backwards and breaks the waistlock, but Gatsby fights back and clubs the back of Young Mannie’s neck. Gatsby wraps his arms around Young Mannie’s waist and throws him over his head with a German suplex, and bridges for the pin...

Harvey: What an exchange. Each of these three men came within a fraction of winning this one.

All three men are quickly to their feet. Young Mannie charges Charles Scripps and clotheslines him over the top rope and out of the ring. Jay Gatbsy, with the ref’s back turned, comes from behind and low blows Young Mannie, who drops to his knees. Jay Gatsby grabs Young Mannie’s arm and locks in the Bruno Sassi Armbar. Young Mannie starts tapping just as Charles Scripps slides back into the ring to try to prevent it.

Winner: Jay Gatsby

Harvey: A huge win tonight for Jay Gatsby ahead of Christmas Chaos. You have to wonder whether it will be The Fortunate Sons walking out with the tag titles on December 18th.

Chase: Or Red Shield Mafia or The San Diego Seagulls. I know one of them will.

Harvey: You are a real oracle for the modern age.

Jay Gatsby has quickly exited the ring, his hands raised in celebration as he heads backstage; Charles Scripps looks at Gatsby with quiet determination; Young Mannie is flat out while Damien Walker pours water all over his face.

Harvey: It was tough watching Mannie out there in the condition he’s in

The crowd is giving Mannie a standing ovation & cheer for his effort as Young Mannie is bowing & waving...Something goes wrong as Mannie falls unconscious, As he starts to twitch...JR Kingston is running straight from the back. They call over the referee as the ref checks Mannie's and he shakes his head as he quickly throws up an “X”

Chase: This looks serious

EMT’s rush from the back to the ring as Mannie is not moving at all

Harvey: I hope Mannie is ok in time for Christmas Chaos

Overdrive cuts backstage

The scene is backstage. Zachary Rodell and Mr. Dangerous are chatting away, no doubt stoked at defeating Julius Farquhar and Manservant earlier in the show. The say goodbye as Mr. Dangerous turns off somewhere, and the camera remains focussed on Zach Rodell. From behind come Julius Farquhar and Manservant – the latter clotheslining Rodell from behind.

Harvey: What is this all about?

Chase: It looks like payback to me.

Julius has what looks like a mini replica flag pole in his hands. Manservant holds Rodell up and Julius smashes the pole into Rodell’s abdomen. Rodell drops to his knees and Julius smashes him across the back of his shoulders with the pole. Julius discards the pole and both he and Manservant start beating down on Rodell who is all alone without any help. After about 10 seconds of beat down, Julius and Manservant wrap Rodell in the ‘stars and stripes’; Julius instructs Manservant to hold up Rodell.

Julius: You think you had the last laugh? Consider this a morsel of what is coming to you at Christmas Chaos.

Julius slaps Rodell hard across the face and lifts him onto his shoulders into an Argentine rack position. Julius walks across to a nearby industrial sized waste bin, which Manservant lifts the lid of, and tosses Rodell into the waste bin in a modified form of his Tower of London move. Julius closes the lid, smirks and looks at Manservant.

Julius: I hope they don’t recycle their trash around here.

The scene fades to a Phil Atkens Podomatic promo before going to commercial

[President Jeff]

Paige: The following match-up is tonight's Overdrive Main Event! This is a six man tag team match-up, which is scheduled for one-fall!

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, Rebel, and Havok enter to a chorus of boos, and Biggsflashes his trademark smirk before making his way down the ramp to the ring. Rebel and Havok walk alongside him, getting a huge chorus of boos. 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. All three men stand around, none getting too close.

Paige: Introducing the first team...Biggs, Johnny Rebel, and Nathaniel Havok!

Harvey: We're looking at some of the mot hated men in APW right now. There is absolutely no love tonight for these three men!

Chase: Yeah, and you know who cares? Not this guy! These men are all getting title shots they deserve, and that;s what he dumb fans should be caring about!

“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. Behind him are Kurt Noble and Pence Weatherlight, holding the Overdrive and Xtreme titles, respectively. Gates 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, as Noble and Weatherlight keep their three enemies away. Gates 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. Gates climbs back down and removes his cowboy hat and carefully hands it off, before removing his t-shirt.

Paige: And next... the Xtreme Champion Pence Weatherlight, the Overdrive Champion Kurt Noble, and the Undisputed Champion CJ Gates!

Harvey: These men, on the other hand, are some of APW's most loved, and best wrestlers. This is set to be the possibly best Main Event ever, but you have to wonder if the referee can control it. CJ Gates and Biggs have been assaulting one another weekly for their Ironman match, who knows what Jeff will have Weatherlight do to Havok...and Noble and Rebel can't even touch one another supposedly!

Chase: Sounds like we're about to see a bomb go off in the Overdrive Main Event!

CJ Gates, Kurt Noble, and Pence Weatherlight vs. Biggs, Johnny Rebel, and Nathaniel Havok

The epic Overdrive Main Event begins with the bell ringing, causing both Weatherlight and Biggs to both step forward. They size one another up as the crowd rumbles behind them! Biggs throws the first punch, but it barely moves Weatherlight! Biggs throws another, but Weatherlight grabs it and squeezes his fist! Biggs starts to go down like he’s in pain…but he suddenly stomps Weatherlight’s foot! Biggs runs off the ropes, and slides under a spin kick from Weatherlight. Biggs turns, and goes for a jumping spin kick, but Weatherlight ducks it. He then kicks Biggs in the stomach, and Irish Whips him, before pulling Biggs back for a clothesline. Biggs ducks it, and responds with a backsweep kick….that Weatherlight catches! Biggs is dancing on one foot, and jumps up for the enziguri, but Weatherlight dodges it! Biggs rolls into the corner, and Weatherlight pauses as the crowd applauds both men!

Harvey: We’re really starting this Overdrive Main Event off in a huge way after that athletic display by both Biggs and Weatherlight!

Chase: What? Biggs was doing all the work there! Weatherlight was just moving around like a dofus!

Biggs motions to CJ Gates, and says “See that? 60 minutes of it!” Weatherlight sees this distraction, and moves, but Biggs moves out of the way and responds with a spin kick to knock Weatherlight into the corner! Biggs starts to lay into Weatherlight with some knee strikes, but Weatherlight pushes him away. Biggs rushes back in, and slams Weatherlight with a huge jumping clothesline. He drags Weatherlight along the ropes, and Irish Whips him, but Weatherlight reverses it and slams Biggs with a Samoan Drop off the rebound! Weatherlight gets on top of Biggs and lays into him with some punches, and Biggs screams “HELP ME!” The referee pulls Weatherlight off of Havok, allowing Biggs to roll over and tag in Rebel!

Rebel gets into the ring, and runs at Weatherlight, but gets dropped with a spinebuster! Weatherlight then rolls over to his own corner, and tags in CJ Gates! The Undisputed Champion gets into the ring with a thunderous amount of applause, and begins to lay into Rebel as he gets up. Gates pushes Rebel against the ropes, and Irish Whips him, but Rebel reverses it and lays out Gates with a forearm smash! Gates stands up, but Rebel grabs Gates and drops him with a stalled suplex! He lifts up Gates again, and drops him with another stalled suplex to try and disorientate Gates. Rebel then throws Gates into the corner, and hammers on him, before Irish Whipping Gates into the opposite corner. He charges…but gets Gates’s boots to the face! Gates then hops up on the middle ropes, but Rebel slams his back. Rebel puts Gates on his shoulder…but Gates turns, and hit a Hurricarana on Rebel!

Chase: Don’t you treat your teammate and Team APW leader like that! You have a match to win!

Harvey: Right now, CJ Gates should only be focusing on winning this match!

Gates gets up quickly, and drops a low dropkick to Rebel’s face! He then runs off the ropes, and leaps over Rebel to hit him with a leapfrog bulldog! Gates makes the pin…

Kickout by Johnny Rebel!

Gates runs against the ropes again…but this time, Biggs kicks him in the back! Gates stumbles forward, giving Rebel enough time to lay him out with a huge clothesline! Rebel lifts up Gates, and drops him with a press slam, but Gates lands on his feet! Rebel turns, but is the victim of a swinging neckbreaker by Gates! Gates then crawls to his corner, and tags in Kurt Noble! Noble gets into the ring, but stops a moment before he grabs Rebel. The two men stare at one another, unsure of what to do here!

Harvey: Wait a second! We don’t know what wrestling here will do to the hands off clause that these two have!

Chase: Psh, let Rebel beat the crap out of Kurt Noble without him crying about it!

In the uncertainty, Rebel leans over and tags in havoc! Havok gets in the ring, and the two men instantly start throwing punches. Havok gets the better of Noble, and knees him in the stomach. He kicks Noble in the stomach, and then slams him with a belly to belly suplex! Noble gets up rather quickly, and Havok goes right back on the attack. Havok grabs Noble, and goes for a German suplex, but Noble reverses it and slams Havok with a German suplex instead! Noble keeps his hands locked, and hits two more suplexes! Before Noble goes for a fourth, he tries to lock in a Crossface on Havok, but Havok fights out of it and DDTs Noble! Both men get up, and begin to trade groggy punches! However, Noble gains the advantage this time, and goes on an aggressive spree of chops! Noble Irish Whips Havok, and hits him with a faceplant off the rebound! He follows this up by trying to lock in the Quixotic Lock (Ankle Lock), but Rebel runs in! He acts like he’s about to hit Noble, and he drops the move to defend himself. However, Rebel steps back, and wags in afinger in Noble’s face, saying “I’m not touching you!”

Harvey: Noble almost had Havok right there with the Quixotic Lock until Rebel interfered!

Chase: Hey, Rebel didn’t even touch Noble; that’s his own fault for dropping the move!

As the referee pulls Rebel away, Biggs rolls into the ring and blindsights Noble! He then rolls out of the ring, and CJ Gates is on the chase! The two men crawl outside the ring as Havok lifts up Noble, and goes for a Side Effect! However, Noble elbows him in the temple, and responds with the Noble Neckbreaker (Rolling Cutter)! Noble makes the pinfall…

Rebel runs over, grabs the referee, and tosses him out of the ring! The crowd boos Rebel heavily as Noble is unaware of what happened! Nobnle stands up, and gets eye to eye with Rebel as his fists are shaking. However, Havok gets up, and drops Noble with The Crowning (Spear) as he turns around! Havok lifts up Noble, and yells for Rebel to “bash his brains out”…but Weatherlight gets in and tackles Havok to the ground! The two begin to throw fists like crazy, and Biggs/Gates brawl on the outside and Noble/Rebel just stand around awkwardly!

Harvey: ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE ON THE LAST OVERDRIVE OF 2011!

Chase: And no referee to stop it! Things are better this way!

Weatherlight wins the duel, and Havok rolls out of the ring! Weatherlight goes to chase him, but Rebel runs in and nails Weatherlight with a superkick! Havok then gets on the apron quickly, and officially tags in Rebel! It’s now Noble and Rebel again, and Havok begins to pound on Weatherlight outside the ring. Biggs hops on the apron, and tags himself in, before leaping over Rebel and taking out Noble with a missile dropkick! Biggs pounds Noble down as Rebel gets on the apron. Biggs lifts up Noble, and drops him with the First Contact Reverse DDT! Biggs then calls Havok over…but Havok and Weatherlight are brawling up the ramp, and disappear behind the curtain!

Chase: Where the Hell are they going?!?

Harvey: There’s no referee to bring them back, so it looks like this is going to be a normal tag match now!

Biggs shakes his head, and turns around…just in time to get a belly to belly suplex from Noble! Noble then begins to crawl towards his corner, where CJ Gates is eagerly awaiting to be tagged in! However, Biggs gets up, and drops an elbow on Noble’s knee! Noble writhes in pain, and Biggs drags him back to the middle of the ring! Biggs lifts up Noble, and slams him with the Starmaker! Biggs then calls for another referee, and one runs down the ramp and into the ring. Biggs makes the pin…

Kickout by Noble, but just barely!

Harvey: Kurt Noble has been the legal man for a very long time now, and with Pence and Havok God knows where backstage, Noble need to tag in CJ Gates!

Chase: Nah, I’m totally fine with Noble having the crap beaten out of him. In fact, this match would be over had that referee not been so slow!

Biggs goes down, and begins to drive elbows into Noble’s knee, before locking in a knee bar! Noble screams in pain, and willfully begins to crawl towards his own corner. Rebel hops on the apron, doing his best to distract the referee! He then gets in the ring, and begins to drag Biggs away, which drags Noble back in the process! As Biggs gets up, Noble kicks Biggs into Rebel! Noble then turns, and jumps…tagging in CJ Gates!

Rebel takes out the referee!!!

Harvey: GODDAMIT REBEL!

Chase: See, THAT’S what the true Overdrive Champion does to secure the win!

CJ Gates stands up, and walks right into a Putdown from Johnny Rebel! Rebel then climbs out of the ring, and goes out…and grabs a steel chair! He gets back in the ring, and stands over Gates, stalking him as he tries to pull himself up! Suddenly, Noble gets in the ring…and tackles Rebel to the ground!

Harvey: Noble and Rebel are going at it!!! The hands off clause is over!!!

Chase: Good, now Rebel can destroy Kurt Noble! I’ve been waiting weeks for this!

The two men roll about, and pound on each other until they roll out of the ring, leaving Gates and Biggs finally in the ring alone! They both stand up, and throw groggy punches at one another. Biggs gets the advantage, and Irish Whips Gates. Gates ducks a kick, and rebounds with a spinning heel kick! Gates then waits for Biggs to get up, and goes for another Shoulder Jawbreaker, but Biggs goes down and low blows Gates! Gates tumbles around, and Biggs pushes him against the ropes.

Harvey: What just happened?

Chase: Who wins?

The referee jumps out of the ring and goes to Nicky Paige and tells her something. Nicky then gets on the mic

Nicky: Due to the double pin fall, the referee as declared this match…. A DRAW!!

Winner: A Draw!

Biggs and CJ are still laid out in the ring and The cameras pan from the ringside brawls, going backstage to find Nathaniel Havok and Pence Weatherlight. We see Nathaniel Havok lying face down on the ground backstage, with someone standing over him.

Harvey: Wait a minute! That’s not Pence’s ring gear!

Chase: Who is that?

The cameras pan up to see President Jeff standing over a bloody and unconscious Nathaniel Havok. With a steel chair in hand, Jeff’s rage causes him to raise the chair one more time. Before he comes crashing down with the chair on Nathaniel, Pence grabs the chair out from his hands.

Pence: That’s enough, boss! Only a few more days!

Jeff looks at Pence, still infuriated by Nathaniel’s actions in recent weeks. Jeff finally calms down, and steps away from Nathaniel. As Pence and Jeff begin to walk away, Jeff turns around and begins stomping all over the unconscious body of the Enforcer of Sorrow. The scene pans back to ringside as Pence is pulling Jeff away from Nathaniel once again.

Harvey: I don’t know about you, but I think Jeff looks ready to get him some of Nathaniel at Christmas Chaos!

Chase: He’s lost it! He’s absolutely lost his marbles! We can’t have a President that’s gone crazy! Someone needs to take care of this!

Harvey: He has every right! Look what Nathaniel’s done to him!

The camera cuts back to the middle of the ring with CJ and Biggs still out

Harvey: These two are to evenly matched, I don't know if 60 minutes is long enough to declair a winner between these two!

Chase: There will be a winner between these two at Christmas Chaos, but who will it be, We'll find out on December 18th!

Harvey: We’re out of time! For Johnny Chase and the rest of the APW crew, I’m Darren Harvey saying goodnight from Seattle!

Biggs and CJ both start to move as the APW logo flashes on the screen as the last overdrive of the year goes off the air.
