Dark Match - Handicap
Mr. Dangerous vs Carlisle Cain & Eric Steel
Before the fun and games of the live Meltdown supershow three wrestlers came together to warm up the crowd with the pre-show dark match. It featured the APW veteran Eric Steel (fighting to show he could still cut it with the new kids on the block), rookie Carlisle Cain (hoping to avoid the death of his APW career before it ever began), and the irrepressible Mr. Dangerous (who was happy to be getting a pay cheque for this).
As soon as the match began Mr. Dangerous retired to a corner, happy to let the other target each other, rather than him, for their offence. A tie-up between Steel and Cain gave the match no definition, so they reset and tried again....still equally as strong, or weak, as each other. In the end they both hit the ropes looking for a clothesline...BINGO! Double clothesline and they were both floored.
Mr. Dangerous, beaming across the width of his face, tried to slingshot over the top rope, but caught his foot and slammed face first into the mat. Getting to his feet, Mr. Dangerous put a hand to his face, and upon seeing the blood suddenly fainted, conveniently landing on top of Eric Steel. The ref dropped down....1.....2......3.....and that was the end of that.
Winner: Mr. Dangerous BEFORE THE SHOW The scene opens up in the backstage area with the words "BEFORE THE SHOW" labeled in the upper left-hand corner. We follow Meltdown vice-General Manager Sienna Harrison through the arena halls before she inserts a key into the office marked "General Manager", pausing to realize that it's already open. She looks concerned, and looks in either direction up and down the hall before finally turning the knob and pushing it open, stepping inside. From inside the office, an air horn aimed at the door sounds off deafeningly before she gets more than a single step inside.  "Happy Draft Day boss!"Sienna's face goes completely pale. She slowly sets her purse down and looks uneasily at the person sitting in Duvall's chair, her shoulder blocking his face from the camera-- though the Chicago audience roars, already well aware of who it is. Sienna doesn't respond, but her body motions visibly stiffen. "Don't look so down boss. This is the big day you've been waiting for! For three months you and Duvall have been plotting and planning and at long last all your hard work has come to fruition!"Logan Alexander stands from the GM's chair, grinning widely. LA: "You've taken my title and you're shipping me out the door... You should be celebrating!"He lifts the air horn and sounds it off again. Sienna winces slightly at the sound of the air horn but shakes her head. Sienna: Get out of here. Before Alexander sees you.LA: "Oh come on. I'm sure he'll be glad to see me. Give him a chance to rub salt in the wound, right? Where is he anyway? You two fighting or something?"Sienna stares at Logan for a long time and her face seems to contort through several different emotions, ranging from confusion to sadness, to wariness... Before finally settling on anger. Sienna: You're not the champion anymore, Logan. That has nothing to do with us. You need to move on-- and you need to stop finally holding my show hostage.Logan smiles back at her as he sits down in the GM's chair again. LA: "You know... you're really such a bad liar. But that's neither here nor there. I know you've got enough plausible deniability to deflect any accusation I might make about your 'involvement' in what happened last week. I mean how convenient was it that with all of those restrictions you slapped on Zing and Aubrey before the title match, that Evans would end up strolling down to ringside and getting involved in a match she had no business getting involved in."He inclines his head. LA: "She ruined a perfectly good match... and you and Duvall did nothing about it during or after the match or after the show. Yet I've seen you throw Aubrey out of multiple shows for only showing up at ringside and not laying a hand on anyone."He leans back in the chair. LA: "Yet here we are, exactly where you and Duvall wanted to be. You two won. I'm not the champion. I'm leaving Meltdown. Yet ironically enough, I'm sitting here smiling and you look like things couldn't possibly get any worse."He smirks at Sienna... Sienna looks visibly ill. She hasn't moved any closer toward the desk, but closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before deciding what it is she wants to say. Sienna: Logan, the past is the past. Should we have done something when Kaylyn came out? Yes. Unfortunately, we were dealing with other issues at the time-- and we still are. Not everything is about you.Her eyes narrow in anger. Sienna: Like you said. You're not the champion, and you're leaving Meltdown. So I'm having a really difficult time figuring out why you're in here.LA: "Well... that's true. Everything was about me when I was the only problem you had. Now your problems are multiplying. You and Duvall have always claimed to be in charge, and now people are calling on you to be responsible for things that have happened here. Guess that's the problem with being the boss. But I came here cause I thought you and Duvall might like at least a little pick-me-up to start off this grandest of grand days. I figured you'd want to celebrate. I even brought you two a cake."He motions off to the side where a chocolate cake sits on a tray in a clear plastic plastic container. LA: "I didn't come in here swearing revenge, or issuing lawsuits, or start assaulting you, your staff, or your megastars. I didn't do any of that. I figured we could could part on somewhat better terms or at least reduce the level of animosity between us before I left. But you show up all miserable, start issuing orders to me, treating me like I'm the bad guy in all of this.
...And here I figured you'd at least be a gracious winner and be willing to make peace or declare a truce."He shrugs and stands up. LA: "Guess I was wrong though."He starts walking for the door. Sienna stares at Logan completely dumbfounded as he makes his way to the door. Sienna: I don't know what you're trying to prove, Logan.She sighs and the change from stiff to relaxed shows her defenses dropping in the situation. Sienna: If you want to part on good terms-- then let's do it in the ring. Tonight. With me introducing you as Asylum's frst draft pick... And you just... Going.Logan pauses at the door, then looks back at her. LA: "I'd love to do that Sienna."He smiles back at her. LA: "But I can see that your heart is just not behind that sentiment."He turns away and walks out into the hallway. LA: "Enjoy the rest of the show... and the cake."Sienna watches Logan until he disappears around the corner and then she slowly closes the door, gazing straight ahead at it for a moment before her eyes drift toward the cake and the look of illness and worry returns to her face... And once again, gives way to anger. She makes her way to the cake, calmly at first and looks down at it, moving her hands along the plastic lid that seves as a container. She carefully peels it off and looks down at the cake for a few more minutes before her lip quivers and threatens to curl into a frown. She chucks the lid aside and shrieks as she flips the entire table that the oversized cake sits on. The cake smashes into dozens of pieces as it collides with the wall-- effectively splashing onto Duvall's chair, desk, and floor. She screams again as she hoists up the container, throwing it across the office. It collides with another chair and the area explodes with chunks of chocolate, fudge, and allumnium. Sienna falls into a seat in Duvall's chair before she buries her face in one of her hands, groaning-- perhaps crying. The lights dim and as the opening chords of ‘Endless Possibility’ start to play and the name ‘Logan Alexander’ appears on the tron. The crowd begins to cheer and a few moments later, Logan emerges from the entry way, while a video package covering many of his APW matches and several other older ones from other feds plays on the tron. He starts making his way down the entry ramp slapping the outstretched hands of fans, with the APW Tag Team championship wrapped around his waist. West: “Ladies and gentlemen we are about to be joined by the former North American champion…”Harris: “You should say that again… FORMER… It has such a great sound to it when you put it in front of Logan Alexander’s name.”Logan has reached the ringside area at this point. West: “That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it, but he was an upstanding champion for this brand and it was such a shame for him to lose the title the way he did last week.”Harris: “Come on! He was pinned by a better man last week and that’s all there was to it.”He makes his way around the ring. West: “A better man who was helped by his two associates, a woman with a grudge and a crowbar, and the General Managers who did their best to leave the former champion at as much of a disadvantage as possible.”Harris: “Better… man… won. Period.”Logan stops by Nicky Paige asking her for her microphone then fixes Dick Harris with a glare that make you wonder if he just heard the exchange at the announce table. Harris: “He… doesn’t hear us does he?”West: “Regretting some of the things you’ve said?”Logan turns away and climbs the ringsteps to the apron and then enters the ring. He moves to the middle of the ring and looks around at the crowd. LA: “Ladies and gentlemen… welcome to a special edition of Meltdown here tonight. As it turns out, tonight is going to be my final night as a Meltdown competitor as I am almost certainly going to be drafted and will probably be joining my partner Aubrey J. Parker on Asylum barring any more unexpected developments. Of course… given who’s running this show, I generally have come to expect unexpected developments to come my way… such as the one who walked down the ramp last week with a crowbar and ruined one of the best things Meltdown had going for it.”The crowd boos loudly at the mention of Kaylyn Evans’ interference in the championship match last week. Logan raises his hand, calling for silence. West: “I have to agree with the crowd on that one. Kaylyn had no business getting involved in that match last week. Logan looked about to retain when she did.”Harris: “For what he and Aubrey did to her, he got what he deserved last week.”West: “And what Aubrey, not Logan, had done to Kaylyn was in return for what she and Christian Kane had done.”LA: “It’s all right folks. It was bound to happen. When you spend most of the time going out and beating the odds it’s always just a matter of time before the odds find a way to beat you back. My time as the champion of Meltdown has come to an end after two and a half months, but I’m sure you all enjoyed it as much as I did.”He looks around and smiles at the crowd. LA: “I set a new bar for excellence here on Meltdown surpassing both a MegaMegaStar and Jesus in one fell swoop. Perhaps I should start calling myself ‘Alexander the Great’.”The crowd cheers at that and then unsuccessfully tries to start chanting it since it had too many syllables. Logan laughs softly in response. LA: “Don’t worry about that folks. It’s not meant for chanting. For now though, I suppose we’ll just have to move on. I have to say that I was disappointed with the way things ended last week. I lost the title in similar fashion to how I won it, and all I’ve been thinking about is how great it would be to have a shot at getting it back.”The crowd erupts at the prospect of Logan getting another shot at being North American champion. Harris: “Look at this! He’s appealing to the FANS for another shot at the title? Move on loser!”West: “Considering the circumstances of his loss, he just might deserve a rematch.”Logan raises the mic again and looks around. LA: “But let’s face it… Before the bell finished ringing last week, I’m sure Harrison and Duvall had already finished filling out my draft documentation for wherever I end up. I know they wouldn’t want me to get a shot at the champion and the four possible champions by the end of the night probably wouldn’t be too keen on facing me either… well maybe one of them would be.”Logan lowers his mic as he considers his next words and the crowd thinks about his last ones. He raises the mic again, LA: “Anyway… allow me to just say thank you to all of you out here tonight and all of those who have been watching and supporting me. I know I don’t always see eye to eye with the fans. You’ve booed me for just going out and doing my job and you’ve also embraced me as a hero… even though I am not. You accepted me as your champion of Meltdown when the roster and management all wanted to be rid of me. For that… I thank all of you.”The crowd responds by chanting Logan’s name over and over. The beginning of "Another Way" airs through the P.A. system building anticipation; As Mannie emerges to a wave of boos. He casually walks down the ramp wearing the North American championship on his waist. Uncle Charlie & Alec Quartermain lead the way as Mannie brushes off some fans, As a custom Dark-Orchid colored stairwell which reads "The-Main-Attraction" spaced on each step is placed in front of the middle apron. Mannie strides up the steps while Uncle Charlie and Alec Quartermain stand idle ringside, the cameraman sits on the middle rope as Mannie enters the ring. Mannie snatches Logan’s mic as the music cuts.
Mannie: Awww…that’s so cute, you think these people care? You think these people actually know who a real champion is? Is that what you think Logan?Logan nods slightly as Mannie can’t help but laugh. Mannie: So that’s what you really think? So let’s take a poll shall we, If anyone out there cares about Logan, his title reign, and his future then please make some noise.The faithful crowd cheers as Mannie quickly cuts them off. Mannie: Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!The crowd boos Mannie before he can finish Mannie: Is that anyway to treat your new North American champion?Mannie unsnaps the title from his waist, bringing it across his shoulder Mannie: So let’s get this straight, I give a command and just like mindless sheep you people follow the request? My gawd! Do any of you have your own thoughts and opinions? Do you really know why your booing me or have you just been taught too do that? See people…Unlike Logan Alexander a person who wants you to love and support them but really haven’t done anything for you too do so.Mannie checks around as a new chant breaks out Kick His Ass
Kick His Ass
Kick His Ass
Mannie: See I on the other hand, I have every reason for you people to cheer but you don’t. You people cheer Logan for hisself title reign and attitude, while I’ve been doing nothing but helping this company get better and better with every appearance I make. I am changing APW for the good, while Logan wants APW stay as it is. Don’t you people want a real wrestler that who will not only fill your hearts with great in-ring action? But also someone who can challenge your brains as well?Logan backs up into one corner of the ring while Mannie is talking, and hops up to sit on the top turnbuckle. He motions to one of the ringside techs and they toss him a mic. LA: “Well… you definitely challenge minds Mannie. Most of the crowd still can’t figure out how you managed to become North American champion. I’m sure you’re ‘helping’ make APW better by being a ‘real wrestler’ with two lackeys who follow you around helping you win your fights. But don’t take my word for it. Why don’t we see what the mindless sheep think.”Logan looks out to the crowd. LA: “How many of you think that Mannie deserves to be the champion?”The crowd boos loudly in response. LA: “Well… that doesn’t sound like they care for the help you’ve been bringing. It sounds like they’re hoping that a real champion will be stepping up tonight.”The crowd cheers that possibility. Just as the crowd get behind Logan again, Alec Quartermain climbs the apron and enters the ring Alec: May I...Mannie: Be my guest!Mannie steps aside passing the mic to Alec while he begins rubbing the point of his jaw Alec: If I were you, I would choose my words wisely. I don't think you should go around throwing the word lackey at someone like me, when the last time I checked you had a woman try to help you retain your championship. I'm sorry Mannie's championshipAlec pauses as the crowd starts chanting at him now Shut The F*ck Up!
Shut The F*ck Up!
Shut The F*ck Up!
Alec:So the last time I checked, Mannie was the champion and you weren't Logan. So if I were you I would respect him, Because if you don't...I will have no problem getting psychical sunny!Alec passes the mic back to Mannie before removing his jacket and rolling up his sleeves. Logan regards Quartermain in amusement. LA: “Considering that Mannie had three women help him win the title last week, I don’t see what your point is.”The crowd reacts loudly to the insult, cheering Logan on. LA: “And you might have no trouble getting physical… but I will have even less trouble putting you back in your place. So… LACKEY… why don’t you do yourself a favour and step back out onto the floor before you get yourself hurt?”Logan looks over at Mannie as the crowd chants for Logan. LA: “Your transitional champion should be able to handle me, right? Unless you don’t have any more faith in his abilities than the rest of APW does.”Alec looks ready to pounce on Logan but Mannie steps infront to hold him back. Mannie: You know what I'm let that slide because I don't want to catch a case or for Alec to get suspended, so will leave but don't mistake my kindness for weakness Logan. We will meet again...
The scene fades as "Another Way" hits the PA system once again as Mannie, Alec, and Uncle Charlie head the ramp. The three of them stop at the top and pose; Mannie raises the North American championship over head head, Uncle Charlie does the same with his 8-ball cane, and Alec drags his thumb across his throat while pointing back at Logan. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* |

The cameras cut to the parking lot area where Aubrey J. Parker makes her way to the arena with less enthusiasm and quickness than usual. The audience doesn't seem to know how to react... many sticking to the typical, the cheering, while several boo. West: And there's Aubrey J. Parker. Who knows what she's thinking after what happened on Asylum last night. And for those of you that missed it-Harris: She knocked Jair Hopkins out! She dropped William D. Williams on his head. She hit Anthony Bailey with a chair! She has nerve, showing her face here tonight if you ask me!West: Ah. I most certainly, in fact, did not ask you.Parker makes it about 20 feet from the double doors before Cindy Shannon, who was chatting with crew members catches sight of her and quickly runs over to her... as fast as she can in heels. Cindy: Aubrey!Aubrey forces a smile and stops, turning to Cindy. AJP: Hi, Cindy.Cindy: Um. You're scheduled to appear in Logan Alexander and Niobe Martin's corner tonight and, although Sienna Harrison and Alexander Duvall decided that you can't lay hands on any Meltdown Megastars... do you think you could make the difference in this match?Aubrey continues to smile at her but she shakes her head. AJP: I'm a bystander. You know that...Cindy looks at Aubrey unsurely and then nods. Cindy: By chance... well... I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering, but last night on Asylum, you took controversial measures to do what many felt was your way of 'seeking justice' against the Dying Breed. Fans and Megastars alike have been seeking an answer for your actions on Twitter but only found vague, cryptic responses... would you be able to explain yourself here? Now?Chicago screams for Aubrey to do so. Her smile slowly begins to fade, but it isn't completely lost as she takes a step back from Cindy. AJP: Guess.She turns and heads away from Cindy Shannon and into the arena as the scene cuts back to ringside.
West: We’re receiving some unfortunate news concerning Amy Zing.”
Harris: “What? Is she threatening to sue us again.”
West: “That is her parents.”
Hannah Storm is standing in the backstage area.
Hannah: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am receiving word that Amy Zing has not arrived yet.”
The steel cage lowers down over the ring.
Harris: “Well Young Mannie wins by default. She’s probably too ashamed or scared to show up. I mean after all the things she said.”
West: “Amy Zing has never been afraid of a fight.”The beginning of "Another Way" airs through the P.A. system building anticipation, as Mannie emerges to a wave of boos. He is lead to the ring by Uncle Charlie & Alec Quartermain. He pats the North American Championship around his waist.
Nicky Page: “On the way to the ring, accompanied by Uncle Charlie and Alec Quartermain, he hails from The Commonwealth Of Virginia and weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds…the ACW North American Champion, ‘THE MAIN ATTRACTION’ YOUNG MANNIE!”
Harris: “Finally a champion we can be proud of.”
West: “Really?”Mannie casually walks down the ramp with his entire glowing in the dark sweatsuit soaking in the hate, as a custom Dark-Orchid colored stairwell which reads "The-Main-Attraction" is placed in front of the middle apron. Mannie strides up the steps and enters the cage. Mannie proceeds to remove the championship, holding it above his head before handing it to the referee. He then removes his sweatsuit. Uncle Charlie slides a mic in through the cage. Mannie: “See? I knew that psycho bitch wasn’t gonna show up here tonight. So why don’t you just go ahead and declare me the winner. Come on ref, make it happen.” The referee begins a count. 1... 2... 3... 4...
It's just the way
The game is played
It's best if you just
Wait your turn
The crowd erupts into cheers as Rihanna’s “Wait Your Turn”. The camera shifts to the back as Amy Zing rides through the arena on her motorcycle and down the ramp.
West: “Amy Zing is here!”
Inside the ring, Mannie is yelling. Alec Quartermain moves to stand in front of the ramp. Amy stops the bike in front of him and pulls off her helmet, looking at the bodyguard. She shrugs and cracks the helmet over Quartermain’s head.
Harris: “She can’t do that! Sienna Harrison is going to fire her!”
West: “Somehow I don’t think she cares.”
As Quartermain starts to get to his feet, Amy smashes him with the helmet again. Uncle Charlie gets in her face yelling at her. Amy responds with not hitting him with the helmet and throwing him against the cage. She drops the helmet and climbs the stairs, her eyes on a livid Mannie Young, who is yelling at the referee to have her thrown out.
Harris: “Get her out of here! She is fired! He's already threatened to sue her!"
West: "Maybe she's just making sure she earned it."The referee by the door grabs Amy’s arm, causing her to step down the stairs. She nails him with a high roundhouse to the head and steals the key.
West: “Amy Zing has just thrown the key out to the crowd!”Slowly, “The Hong Kong Sensation” walks up the stairs and enters the cage, closing and locking the door behind her.
Harris: “Why is no one stopping this match?”
West: “Amy said this wasn't about the title or even winning. It was about hurting Young Mannie." Mannie charges right at Amy for a clothesline, But Amy ducks and dropkicks Mannie in the back sending him into the ropes. She runs after him grabs his head and SLAMS it into the steel cage! She bashes it again and again and AGAIN before grabbing his head, springboarding off the ropes and hitting a Tornado DDT! West: Zing came out firing on ALL cylinders today folks! Quartermain and Charlie are being escorted away by medical personnel-- and we'll do the best to call this match, but you have to THINK Amy Zing is about to lose her job!Harris: Zing’ll flame out, give it time! West: Apparently our officials have finally located that key in the audience. Good lord... Has Zing lost it?As Mannie starts to get up on his hands and knees… she runs and uses his back as a stepping stool and leaps towards the cage. She balances on it and when Mannie gets to his feet she LEAPS off with a crushing Cross body Block that has Mannie down and out! The crowd goes absolutely INSANE AS Amy glares down at Mannie. She pulls him up and whips him hard into the corner. She charges in with a handspring back elbow, but Mannie rolls out of the way and Zing collides hard with the Turnbuckle. West: Mannie Got the hell out of the way just as Zing was looking to take over this match.Harris: And now the Main Attraction is ready to show the world what a true North American Champion is. Zing is about to be out of a job-- what a travesty it'd be if she were to win! Mannie unleashes with hard European uppercuts on Amy and follows up with a huge headbutt that takes her down to a seated position. He stomps the hell out of her before pulling her up and out for a cradle DDT! He stares down at her and then yells for the Door man to open the Cage Door. But before he does, Amy grabs him from behind. Mannie counters with an elbow to her temple and then hooks her for a running Liger Bomb! West: Mannie with the massive upper hand looks to be ready to end this quickly and then move on to his NEXT challenge for the night!Harris: He’s using his head. The Main Attraction is smart as well as talented and he’s proving that tonight Shane! Mannie scoops Amy on his shoulders and charges the Cage to throw her like a Dart… But she catches the cage instead and begins to climb! Mannie realizes what just happened and runs to catch her. She gets to the top and throws her leg over but Mannie leaps and grabs her other leg. She kicks to shake him off but he slowly climbs up after her, taking the punishing rights, lefts and kicks She throws down at him. He manages to reach up and grab a hold of her top, trying to yank her down. But Amy swats his hands off and LEAPS over Mannie pulling him down with a SUNSET FLIP powerbomb!!! Harris: GOOD GOD! WHAT A MOVE! Mannie is barely moving! West: Great counter there by Amy, but how much did that take out of her?Amy is slow to roll to her feet, but finally does as Mannie struggles to all fours. Mannie crawls to a corner and pulls himself up. Amy dashes and hits a handspring elbow to Mannie causing him to sit in the corner. She charges in, lifts herself into a handstand on the ropes, and swings herself down knees-first into Mannie’s chest. West: Nihao MANNIE!She pulls Mannie out and into the middle of the ring. She runs to the middle rope, springs off of it and goes for he Phoenixsault…. BUT MANNIE GETS HIS KNEES UP! Amy clutches her chest and abdomen rolling in pain. Mannie is slow to his feet and pulls Amy up to hers. He whips her into the ropes and catches her on the rebound and tosses her up in the air, CATCHING HER WITH THE DRUG TEST!!! Mannie then falls to his knees exhausted. Harris: What a move by Mannie. Now just get the hell to the door and get out. West: Mannie seems like he ate a few too many twinkies before this match. Perhaps becoming champ caused him to lose sight of staying in shape!Mannie crawls over to the Cage door and yells for the ref to open it. Mannie slowly grabs at the canvas to pull himself closer. Harris: He’s gonna do it! Mannie’s leaving the cage!Mannie gets to the door opening and suddenly stops! Amy is there clinging to his leg for dear life! West: AMY ZING OUT OF NO WHERE is keeping this match alive!Mannie kicks at her trying to get her off of him, but she pulls up his leg and then uses the ropes to stomp away at him. He crawls and is half out of the door…. WHEN SHE SLAMS THE DOOR ON HIS HEAD. She pulls him back up and nails him with a Running head scissors in the middle of the ring. She runs to the corner, climbs and hits him with a diving spin kick as he rises and she then runs and jumps to the corner and begins her climb up the cage. West: Zing is heading out, and we may have a new champion!Zing gets to the top of the cage just as Mannie Stirs! Manny runs and jumps on top of the rope as Amy slides her second foot over the top of the cage. She begins to climb down as Mannie springboards to the top of the cage clinging on to it. She lowers herself as Mannie reaches over the top of the cage grabbing at her…. JUST AS SHE DROPS! West: She did it… NO Mannie Grabbed her hair!!Mannie has her by the hair as she dangles in mid air. Amy kicks and screams as the crowd boos loudly. She claws at Mannie’s hands as he gets his second one over there and begins to pull her back up over the cage. He slams her head down on the top of the cage… Hooks her and…. Harris: OH MY GOD!West: SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE!Both competitors lay in the middle of the ring, slowly stiring and trying to get to their feet. They crawl over to each other and begin to trade punches on the ground, then on their knees and slowly back to their feet. Amy unleashes with a massive roundhouse kick to the face, but Mannie ducks and…. …. HITS THE FATAL ATTRACTION! Harris: Fatal Attraction out of nowhere! All mannie has to do is leave the cage!Mannie slowly makes his way to his feet! He looks over Amy’s body and spits down at her. He then heads to the door to boos and jeers from the fans! But before he steps out the door, he smiles and looks back at Amy not moving. He shakes his head and steps back before reaching up and climbing the cage slowly! He looks down at Amy stiring and just laughs. Harris: What is he doing, he had this won!West: Maybe he wanted to do it the RIGHT way!Amy Zing seems out of it, but from no where KIPs UP and is on her feet, though visibly exhausted. Manny turns one more time and sees AMY Zing running and hopping on the ropes. She hits a low blow and he falls back to the mat. He tries to get up and when he does, Amy leaps….WITH A FENGHUANG KICK TO MANNIE!!!! Harris: NO! MAnnie you IDIOT! West: She just caved his skull in and Mannie is out.She slowly gets to her feet as the crowd goes absolutely nuts. She heads to the corner and begins deliberately climbing. But suddenly the cheers from the crowd turn to boos. West: NO! What is she doing down here? Kaylyn James Evans comes running down to the ring with a steel chair in her hand. She swings it at Amy’s hands on the cage. Amy manages to dodge a couple strikes, but has to hop off the cage. She looks at the door and motions for the guy to open it. KJE sees what she’s doing and runs that way. Harris: IT’S A RACE FOR THE DOOR!West: WHO’S GONNA WIN?Amy runs and leaps through the ropes to dive out…. BUT IS MET BY A STEEL CHAIR TO THE HEAD! Amy recoils and almost falls out of the ring anyways until she’s held by KJE and shoved back in. The crowd boos loudly as she tosses in the chair and closes the door. West: She has NO right to be down there. Who does she think she is?Harris: She’s the Co-GM's right-hand woman! She can do whatever the hell she wants!Mannie stumbles to his feet and sees Kaylyn on the outside and the chair in the middle of the ring. The crowd is booing as Mannie grabs Amy… hoists her up and NAILS the Death By Mannie on the chair. The crowd erupts into boos as KJE opens the door and helps Mannie out and to the floor
DING DING DINGPaige: Winner of this match and STILL APW North American Champion… YOUNG MANNIE!!!!Mannie makes his way to the back, clutching the North American Title to his chest. KJE sighs as she looks at the unconscious Amy Zing in the ring and turns, making her way backstage as well. We cut to the backstage area where Alexander Duvall enters his office. He looks around at the cake that has been thrown in every which direction-- and shoots a look at Sienna, who stands in the corner, looking to be on the verge of a breakdown. Duvall: ...Logan?Sienna just nods. Sienna: Logan...Duvall looks around at his office, clearly distraught while our crowd laughs. He shakes his head and we fade away. We catch up with Kaylyn stepping into her locker room, moments removed from her interaction within the cage match, getting set to prepare for her match later that evening. Having been out of the ring due to injury at the hands of one of her opponents, and his ringside lackey for this week, she had her thoughts full and wasn't fully paying attention to the door being partially opened. Stepping inside she let the door close behind her. Because of this distraction and also because of the position of the door, she misses spotting Logan Alexander leaning against the wall in a spot where he'd be out of sight of most people entering the room unless they stopped and looked past the door to that end of the room. His gaze fixes on Kaylyn, a tranquil look on his face a swirl of emotions in his eyes, but he says nothing to announce his presence. Leaning beside him are a folding chair... and a crowbar. No sooner did she sit down, she turned her head and noticed Logan, causing her to jump right back to her feet. KJE: "Whoa there."She stated tossing her hands up in front of her. KJE: "Trying to take me out before our match tonight Logan? I don't blame you after all, but.. its a cowards move.”Logan smirks but there's no humour in his expression. LA: "You'd know all about the coward's way of doing things though, wouldn't you? You're the expert around here after all. You've attacked me from behind on three different occasions. I guess it should come as no surprise though. Every time you've come at me face to face... you've lost. I've beaten you both times. And nothing has changed since the last time we face."He snorts softly. LA: "Well... that's not entirely true. You dug your hole that much deeper with last week's ill conceived actions. I'm curious to know though... are you really proud of what you've accomplished? Being a footnote in another person's rise to glory that you were never able to do on your own?"He remains against the wall, as he had when Kaylyn had entered the room, watching her intently. Kay rolled her eyes while listening to his little rant, when he was finished she crossed her arms in front of her before speaking up. KJE: "You know, for someone who talks so damn much, you say so little. You have room talking about anyone taking the coward's way out Logan. After all, your partner and you do it often. Or have you forgotten what happened to get rid of me in the first place?"Kaylyn laughed a moment before taking a step forward, her hands going on her hips. KJE: "What has happened in the past, shouldn't be any concern of yours. You should be worried about the future... about tonight. If only you knew what surprises were in store."Kaylyn kept a smile on her face showing that she knew something he did not. KJE: "I don't base anything that I do off of anyone else. What I do has reason. Title belts don't make the character... actions speak so much louder, and I am sure my actions have said plenty for me. I might not have achieved as much as some Logan, but everyone damn well knows who my name is."Logan lowers his head and starts to chuckle. LA: “You presume to lecture me. And threaten me. It’s adorable really.”He looks back at her, smiling slightly. LA: “You have no teeth. You have no claws. Three times you have attacked me and three times I have risen again. Only last week did you have any actual effect… but that required three other people helping you.”He glares intensely at her. LA: “And then you stand here before me and pretend that YOU are the one who has been wronged?!”He reaches down and grabs the crowbar. LA: “You broke my partner’s wrist first. Aubrey’s only mistake is that when she attacked you afterwards she didn’t finish the job. I encouraged too much restraint…”His face twists into a scowl as he slams the end of the crowbar against the wall beside him, breaking a hole through the plaster and creating several cracks around it. LA: “I think I should correct that mistake.”As the crowbar went into the wall Kay found herself flinching, hey, who wouldn't!? She quickly took a step back from him, not taking her eyes off the crowbar in his hand. KJE: "Panties all tied in a knot Logan? How about you pull whatever is up your ass from it, and if you're going to hit me stop being a pussy and just do it. Mark my words, if you do however... it will be the last thing you do for a long while. You're still here for a reason. If I wanted you taken out for good, you would be gone. I am not yet finished with you and Parker, so until I am, you shall be left standing.... unless you want to make a move right now, than by all means... give me a reason to change my mind and take you out for good sooner rather than later."Logan smirks. LA: “The last thing I do for a while? Considering the fact that you probably won’t be getting back up for a long time, I’d love to see how you’d be able to keep me from doing anything for any period of time. Harrison and Duvall can’t help you, I’m not one of their competitors anymore. They can’t punish me and even if they try… I have plenty of grounds to challenge it considering how much they’ve let others slide on. You also don’t have enough friends here on Meltdown to save you… and none of them here now anyway.”He steps forward from the wall. LA: “And best of all… you’ve even given me permission to hit you. I generally don’t like to ruin booked matches… but oh well, first time for everything.”He walks towards Kaylyn, carrying the crowbar at his side. Kaylyn took another step back as he inched forward. KJE: "You don't know as much about me as you think you might Logan. You see, you might not think I have friends here... and even if that was true, there is one thing you fail to remember.
I have something in common with many people here... that being the hatred that I have towards Parker and yourself. You have to believe I would tell you that if you hit me it would be the last thing you ever do for a reason. It's up to you if you want to test me on that Logan.
If you do it however... you had better make sure to get the job done, because if you don't not only will I be coming for you, but I will break my promise to Jason Kash, and I will make sure to lay my hands on Parker tonight as well."LA: “Well… I think my curiosity is piqued. Shall we see how much of that comes to pass when you’re left lying in a pool of your own blood?”He smiles darkly at her and moves forward with purpose, raising the crowbar in preparation to strike as he draws closer to her. She back off warily. Logan springs forward swinging the crowbar towards Kaylyn’s head. She lifts his arms to shield herself, but it turns out to have been a feint by Logan. He tucks the crowbar back against his forearm, slips his arms under hers and drops backwards, bringing his knees to her midsection to deliver a lung blower. Kaylyn rolls off of him gasping for breath. Logan kips up and rolls Kaylyn onto her back, before putting one foot on her midsection. He leans forward swinging the crowbar back up. Her eyes widen as she sees it again. He thrusts the crowbar at her face and she turns her head aside, waiting for the blow… that never comes. Logan holds the crowbar inches from her face and smirks down at her. LA: “I could have ended this pointless ‘war’ of yours against Aubrey right there. I saw the fear in your eyes. Remember that feeling before you come after us again. I am going to settle all of our issues eventually and you will get to reap everything you’ve sown against us. But right here and now, isn’t where I want to settle it. I’d rather leave you in a bloodied, battered heap in the ring tonight, and do the same to your partners. Consider it as a sample of what’s to come, and consider well how much worse you’re going to make things for yourself and whatever unfortunates you decide to drag down with you if you continue to antagonize me.”He steps back from Kaylyn, pulling the crowbar away from her. LA: “See you later Kaylyn. I may not have a crowbar with me then, but I don’t intend to stop then either.”He turns his back on her and heads for the door of her lockerroom. She sits up slowly as he exits as we fade to black. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* |

Our cameras return to ringside where our audience is cheering for newcomer, Hano Eiyu, who is already in the ring as "Chaoz Japan" plays over the PA. Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, in the ring, hailing from Japan, weighing in at one hundred and seventy-six pounds... HANO EIYU!The lights go out throughout the arena, followed by at least 20 seconds of silence. Harris: Did we... Lose power?Suddenly, Aiden's "Die, Die, Die My Darling" echoes hauntingly over the loudspeakers, as the ActionTron springs to life with the shaky animated word, 'Die' flashed across the Tron Screen... Paige: And his opponent, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at one hundred and sixty-two pounds, CIIIIIID PHOOOEEEENIX!As the music hits a thunderous crescendo, Cid Phoenix appears from behind the curtains to deafening cheers. He pounds his chest, and takes in the moment before sauntering down the aisle. He exchanges high fives with fans, and even gets a few kisses from several ladies in the crowd before rolling beneath the ropes to stand up and await the start of the match. West: Looks like Phoenix is still reacting pretty well to these fans-- but judging by last week, it would SEEM like Phoenix has a little bit of problem with a bunch of people. Hano Eiyu, Eric Steel, who lost his job a little earlier tonight, again... And some would even say he had a problem with the APW faithful themselves.Harris: Whatever happened, he came out here, promising to make an example of Eiyu. I'll believe it when I see it, Shane-O.Grudge Match
Hano Eiyu vs Cid Phoenix
The bell rings. Phoenix moves toward the center of the ring, but Hano charges at him immediately, leaping onto his shoulders for a Hurricanrana!
West: And Hano comes out swingin'--
Harris: No, look!
The crowd responds with a loud mixed reaction as Phoenix catches Eiyu's legs, causing him to fall flat to his back on the canvas. Hano struggles, but eventually Phoenix locks in his version of the Sharpshooter! Within seconds, Hano Eiyu taps out!
Harris: Whoa!
The bell rings, but Phoenix keeps the hold locked on!
Paige: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner as a result of a submission... CIIIIIIIIIIIID PHOOOOEEEEEENIX! West: That's enough, Cid! You won!Harris: I'm tellin' you, Shane. Something has SNAPPED with this guy!Eventually, the referee is able to pull Phoenix off of Hano Eiyu. Eiyu holds his back in pain, writhing on the mat. The crowd responds to Phoenix with a loud, mixed reaction-- many booing the actions of the Megastar. He sighs and exits the ring, marching up the ramp, a half-smile on his face as he "dusts" his hands. West: Well... Maybe you're right. Maybe this is the beginning of a NEW Cid Phoenix.Harris: I figured you wouldn't like it. But I love it! Haha-- HOORAY FOR RELEVANCY!The camera cuts away as Phoenix disappears to the back, behind the curtains. The cameras cut backstage where Hannah Storm is standing with the Finnish Phenom, Tuhoa Valo. Hannah Storm Mr. Valo... You have promised that you're going to walk out of Meltdown tonight with the North American Championship. However, so have three other people. What makes you stand out head and shoulders above the rest? What makes you think that you're the one that's going to get the job done?The Finnish Phenom Head and shoulders? Nice advertising there, Hannah. But the fact remains that I will stand head and shoulders above the rest, because my wrestling acumen is far superior to any of those who oppose me. Label it sports entertainment if you want to, but this is still professional wrestling, and there's not a damn soul on Meltdown that can hold a candle to my wrestling ability. Compared to the rest of the Meltdown roster, I'm more than superior... I'm a God!Hannah Storm You and Christian Kane have never faced off one on one. You've also never faced Young Mannie one on one. So how can you stand here and say these things, without ever being in the ring with either of them?The Finnish Phenom It's simple, Hannah... I say it, because it's true. Now, ask any number of the marks in the crowd, and their going to say differently. But the truth can't be hidden for too much longer. You have my word, Hannah. I will be leaving Chicago tonight as the APW North American Champion. And trust me, I'll be leaving as soon as humanly possible!Valo chuckles to himself and walks away from Hannah, as the scene fades to commercial. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* |

West: We're back from commercial and now it's time for our Falls Count Anywhere match!Nemesis starts to play as a mix reaction from the crowd drowns out the music. The arena fills with strobe lighting, as smoke begins to come up from the entrance ramp. Slowly, Tuhoa Valo creeps out from behind the curtain with his head down, and his hair dripping wet. As the tempo of the song picks up, he quickly lifts his head, as his hair flies back, and the water from his hair goes in every direction. He raises his arms into the air, and a lightning bolt strikes directly in front of him, at the top of the ramp. He immediatley begins a dead-run straight to the ring, sliding in, and getting right to his feet. He runs to the far-right corner, and gets on the second rope, staring around at the crowd. Nicky Paige: The following match is a falls count anywhere match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Helsinki, Finland, he is the Finnish Phenom, Tuhoa VAAAALO!Dick Harris: This guy’s been on one hell of a ride here in this company, and he’s all but destined to do great things.Shane West: Yeah, but tonight he’ll have his hands full! I want to know whether he’ll get past his opponent and get his North American Title shot tonight.SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAME
DARLING YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME! The guitars and drums of the timeless Bon Jovi classic kick in throughout the arena as Christian Kane makes his way through the curtain and onto the stage, his two strippers in tow. Red and white lights focus on the Canadian Sensation and flash rapidly, drawing attention to him with the lights illuminating his body. Nicky Paige: And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Canadian Sensation, Christian KAAAANE!Grabbing his girls by the hair Kane tells the camera to ‘watch this’ before engaging a three way French kiss with his strippers. This lasts for 3 or 4 seconds before Kane lets go of the girls and pushes them aside, beginning to strut down the ramp as he slicks back his hair. He stops at ringside, looking around the arena with a smirk on his face which quickly turns to disgusted scowl as fans let Kane know exactly what they think of him. Dick Harris: Christian Kane is riding one hell of a ride here too, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table!As the music continues to play, Kane waves a dismissive hand and makes his way around to the left side of the ring, walks up the steel steps then climbs the turnbuckle. With one foot on the top turnbuckle and one on the second rope, Kane holds his arms out to his side again and tenses his muscles, inciting an extremely loud negative reaction from the audience in attendance once more. With a smug look on his face, Kane now hops off the turnbuckle and into the ring. Shane West: I agree with you on that one, Dick! I think this guy has what it takes to be a North American Champ, for sure!Walking across the ring the Canadian Sensation jumps on the second rope, posing again as jeers from the die-hard APW faithful are mixed among high pitched cheers from the females in attendance, most notably Kane’s girls. As the music slowly fades, Kane hops off the turnbuckle and walks to his corner, preparing for the match ahead. #1 Contender's Match - APW North American Championship  The bell rings, and the two men circle the ring, staring one another down, neither man making the first move too hastily. Kane decides to challenge Valo to a test of strength, and raises his arm as if suggesting locking up. Valo accepts the challenge, and Kane catches him with a knee to the gut. He whips Valo across the ring into the turnbuckle, and follows it up with a running knee. He grabs Valo and hits him with a snap suplex, and then stands back up, goes for a lionsault. Valo rolls out of the way and dodges it, and Kane crashes and burns. Valo rolls him up and goes for a quick pin. One! . . . Kickout! Dick Harris: And a near-fall for Tuhoa Valo after Christian Kane crashes and burns on the lionsault!Shane West: Yeah, but I’ll admit, a good job getting the upper hand by Christian Kane early in the match for a bit though.Dick Harris: No kidding! But now the tides have turned, and Valo gets the chance to capitalize.Shane West: Yeah, but I don’t know whether he’s going to capitalize on it or not, Dick. We’ll have to see on that one.Tuhoa gets to his feet, and Kane isn’t far behind him. Valo tries to take a breath, but Christian Kane goes right back after him, not wanting to let The Finnish Phenom to have any chance to rest. He grabs Valo, and goes to whip him across the ring into the ropes, but The Phenom reverses it, and sends The Canadian Sensation running across the ring. On the rebound, Phenom drops him with a double axe handle, and goes running across the ring. He hits the ropes, looking to hit some sort of move on the rebound, but Christian Kane rolls out of the ring, using his smarts, and Tuhoa Valo comes up with an idea in mid-dash, and dives out of the ring between the ropes, hitting Kane with a suicide dive! Dick Harris: And Tuhoa Valo is on fire now! What a shot with the suicide dive!Shane West: No kidding, Dick! But now both men are down and reeling after that big move!Both men are down on the ground outside the ring, and neither men moves for a few seconds. The fans start to get behind Tuhoa with chants of ‘FINNISH PHENOM! (clap!) (clap!) (clap-clap-clap!)’ and ‘TUHOA! TUHOA!’, and The first one to stir. Slowly he pulls himself to his feet, and Kane is to one knee by the time Tuhoa approaches and grabs him to pull him to his feet. He whips him across the ramp into the guard rail-NO! Kane stops himself, and Tuhoa goes running behind him. Kane catches him with a back kick to the gut, and Christian follows it up with a spinning elbow! Dick Harris: Look at that, Shane! Christian Kane reverses the move and stops Tuhoa dead in his tracks!Shane West: Impressive strategy here by the Canadian! Will he keep it up, though? Only time will tell!Kane grabs The Phenom by the back of the head and drags him over to the guard rail, and goes to smash him face first into the guard rail! Valo reverses it, and hits Kane with an elbow to the gut, and then grabs the back of Kane’s head and smashes him face first into the guard rail. He pulls Kane up into a fireman’s carry, and without pausing he drops Kane face first onto the guard rail, and The Canadian Sensation bounces backwards, flopping down onto his back violently, hitting his head on the ramp. Valo looks to the crowd as the chants get louder, and drops down for the pin. One! . . . Two! . . . Kickout by Christian Kane! Dick Harris: And that was close! That was almost a huge pin for Tuhoa Valo to win the match!Shane West: But it’s not over yet, Dick! And Christian Kane is still in this!Tuhoa gets back up to his feet quickly, and looks to the ring. He pulls Christian Kane back to his feet, and drags him by the back of the head toward the ring. He goes to smash Christian’s face into the ring apron, but Kane slips away, and as Valo turns around, Kane catches him with a perfectly placed roundhouse kick, and he stumbles, holding onto the ring apron to keep himself on his feet. Christian takes advantage of it, and grabs Tuhoa, whipping him back across the floor of the arena and into the guard rail. Valo crashes and burns hard against the guard rail. Christian Kane rolls him onto his back on the ground, and goes for the pin. One! . . . Two! . . . Kickout by Tuhoa Valo! Dick Harris: And now a two count for Christian Kane that could’ve very easily ended the match! Some resilience being shown by both competitors here tonight!Shane West: Yes, but at some point one of these two is going to have to lose this match!Christian Kane gets back to his feet, and grabs Tuhoa, moving him to a sitting position against the guard rail facing out. He backs up about ten steps, and then points to the guard rail as he shouts to the crowd, ‘Time to send this guy back to Finland!’ He goes running, looking to catch him with a senton bomb to the chest, but Valo rolls out of the way, and Kane smashes against the guard rail hard on his back. Valo gets to his feet, and hits a leg drop across the throat of Christian Kane, and then hooks both legs for a cradle pin! One! . . . Two! . . . Th-KICKOUT! Dick Harris: And Tuhoa Valo almost got the win there! That was a close one for Kane!Shane West: It was very close, Dick! And one has to wonder how much this is taking out of both competitors, knowing that one of them will be competing for the North American Championship later tonight!Valo gets back to his feet, and rolls Christian Kane onto his stomach, and then pulls him up to his feet. He grabs him by the back of the head, and drags him over to the ring steps, and smashes him face first into the ring steps, with the crowd counting along. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Tuhoa Valo rolls Kane back into the ring and slides into the ring. He rolls into the ring, and stands up, saluting the cheering crowd for a few moments before dropping down for the pin. One! . . . Two! . . . Thr-KICKOUT!! Dick Harris: Oh my god! I thought that had to be it after those repeated shots to the face courtesy of the ring steps!Shane West: But no! Somehow, some way, Christian Kane kicks out of the pin! What is it going to take to finish him off?Valo gets to his feet, in other disbelief. He looks out at the crowd for a moment as they cheer him on, and he pulls Kane up in an inverted DDT position, setting him up for the Commence Distruction (Crossrhodes). He goes for it, but Kane reverses it, and pushes Valo away! Valo stumbles backward, and uses his momentum to hit off the ropes, and Kane takes advantage, connecting out of nowhere with the SSK (Superkick)! Valo falls limp to the mat, and the crowd collectively gasps as Kane drops down, hooking the leg for the pin. One! . . . Two! . . . Threeeee!! Winner: Christian Kane The bell rings, and Kane gets to his feet as his music plays, and he raises his arms in victory before rolling out of the ring. Nicky Paige: The winner of this match and NEW Number One Contender for the North American Championship, Christian KAAAANE!Dick Harris: What a match, Shane! And that’s not even it! Christian Kane will be competing again later tonight for the North American Championship!Shane West: But at what cost, Dick? How much damage did he suffer in that match?Dick Harris: I don’t know, Shane, but that match was incredible!Shane West: And what a victory for Christian Kane!The scene cuts backstage from the action in the ring this evening at Meltdown. We find ourselves outside of a locker room door that is barely cracked. A little smoke rolls from the inside but nothing too drastic. Inside, we see Tommy Knoxville sitting in the far corner in a chair, bent over lacing up his boots. Not noticing the camera, he talks to himself but loud enough for the mic to pick up. Knoxville: "This is it. I've been workin' for this moment for over a year now."After finishing with his boots, he stands to his feet and pauses for a brief moment. He then paces around the room with his hands on his waist and a look of determination in his blood shot eyes. Knoxville: "Mexico did some good for me. A lil' soul searchin', lil' partyin', learned a few new moves... it's time to do work. I didn't come this far just to get shut down by four other newbies to APW. I've been down this road before, these people know who I am. There's no turnin' back now."He then walks back over to the chair and sits down. Reaching over to his left, an ash tray rests, he grabs a half burnt hand rolled "cigarette" and places it between his lips. He then reaches to grab and lighters and flicks his thumbs as he raises it to the tip. Taking a slow drag, the "cigarette" burns as he inhales and leans his head back, tossing the lighter aside. Knoxville: "Damn.... (exhale) You got this Knox. You've danced in the ring with bigger and better people before and walked away without harm. This is goin' to be a walk in the park. I just hope she's watchin'. Damn, she was lookin' pretty fine..."Taking another drag, he begins to roll his neck around as the smoke clouds the room and the scene fades out. *COMMERCIAL BREAK*

West: Welcome back folks. Its time to introduce the first inductee into the APW Hall of Fame Class of 2013! Harris: If you don‘t know who it is by now, either you only watch Meltdown or you live under a rock. West: This year, we are proud to induct into the APW Hall of Fame, Class of 2013...
HALL OF FAME - 2013
CONGRATULATIONS, CHRIS CYRUS!
When our cameras return to the ring four Meltdown newcomers; Nathaniel Strong, Dave Wilson, "Blackheart" Casey James and Majik are already in the ring. West: We're about to have a Battle Royal with four newcomers which you see in the ring, plus, the anticipated MELTDOWN debut of former Asylum Megastar, Tommy Knoxville!Harris: I'm sure you're more excited for that than I am.West: These fans are hyped!Harris: It's Chicago... they're amused by anything.Nicky Paige: The following contest is an Over-the-Top rope BATTLE ROYAL and the winner is allowed to choose their opponent for next Monday's episode of MONDAY NIGHT MELTDOWWWWNNNN! Already in the ring are: "Blackheart" Casey James, Majik, Dave Wilson and Nathaniel Strong!! And introducing their opponent, from Long Beach, California...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 bright green 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 before moving his body with the music and banging his head. He then begins to walk down the aisle as a loud voice fills the arena. "I was that kid sittin' over
in the corner,
smiling with a shit-eating
grin
And I was that kid smilin' in
the back of class
'cause I'm fryin' on mescaline
I was that kid drinkin' 40's
on the bleachers
getting drunk after school
Gettin' home too late,
fallin' on my face,
way too drunk to skate
and actin' a fool" Paige: Weighing 223 pounds, TOMMY KNOXVIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLE!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. Battle Royal- Winner Chooses His Opponent Next Week The bell rings and the five men look at each other, each of them with hunger and intensity burning in their eyes... Majik is the first to make a move, running right for Tommy Knoxville, but Knoxville side-steps him and launches him over the top rope by the arm! ELIMINATED- MAJIKWest: And Tommy Knoxville rocks Chicago with the first elimination of the night, out of nowhere!!Harris: And the other competitors notice. They take exception to it, and here comes Nathaniel Strong with the flurry!The crowd cheers as Strong lights Knoxville up with rights and lefts to the ribs, and finally a European Uppercut that knocks him to his back. He turns around, catching both Wilson and James with fists to the nose! Wilson goes down but James continues to fight Strong, hitting him with a knee to the abdomen and then tries to Irish Whip him across the ring, but Strong pulls him back toward him with a Short-Arm Clothesline! Wilson gets to his feet, but gets taken down with a right hook to the eye! Wilson falls and Strong turns around... right into a Swinging Neckbreaker from Tommy Knoxville! West: And Knoxville puts an end to that.Harris: He's going up top... not sure how wise that is in a Battle Royal.Knoxville waits on the top rope as Dave Wilson and "Blackheart" Casey James get up. He leaps off and hits a Diving Cross Body on both of them! They fall to the ground and Tommy Knoxville rolls up to his feet, hitting Nathaniel Strong with a Full Nelson Suplex the moment he returns to his feet! Harris: Ouch. Strong landed right on his head!Knoxville reaches down to pick up Strong, but he is clubbed from behind by Dave Wilson, who then proceeds to knock Knoxville down with a Clothesline. Knoxville rolls toward the ropes and uses them to aid himself to his feet. Wilson watches him from the middle of the ring and then charges at him for another Clothesline... but Knoxville low-bridges him and sends him over the top rope and to the apron! He hops to his feet as Wilson climbs up on the apron. Wilson makes his way to the turnbuckles- but Knoxville charges him and hits a Shoulder Block, knocking him off of the apron and face first into the announce table! ELIMINATED- DAVE WILSONHarris: Knoxville with TWO elimina-West: Nathaniel Strong is back up, going for that signature uppercut!Knoxville narrowly avoids disaster, moving out of the way of Strong's fist, and promptly kicks him in the midsection before nailing an impactful Spike DDT! Harris: Iron Spike... and there goes Strong!Knoxville lifts the groggy Nathaniel Strong up and throws him over the top rope, where he hits the apron, and then the floor! ELIMINATED- NATHANIEL STRONGWest: And that's 3 eliminations for Knoxville!Knoxville turns around as the crowd grows loud... and Casey James blasts him with a running boot to the face! Knoxville collapses to the mat and the crowd boos. James sinks to one knee and takes a deep breath. He goes to lift Knoxville up... but Knoxville smacks his hands away! Casey James reaches for Knoxville, but is hit with a European Uppercut that spins him around. Knoxville then locks in an inverted Half Nelson... the Judo Choke known as the Eiserne Vice. Harris: Knoxville has "Blackheart" caught in the Eiserne Vice!As James fades, Knoxville drags him toward the ropes and pushes him over the top. The barely conscious Casey James tumbles to the floor and the crowd roars! ELIMINATED- "BLACKHEART" CASEY JAMESWest: He did it!Nicky Paige: Here is your winner... TOMMY KNOXVILLE! The ref raises Knoxville's hand and he grins toward the audience as his music plays. West: This means Knoxville gets to name his opponent for next week!Harris: Great. Maybe he'll challenge the winner of tonight's North American Title match!As the music plays over the arena Knoxville walks to the ropes facing the announcers booth and calls for a mic. With one tossed his way, he then walks to the center of the ring and pretends to cut his throat with his hand calling for the music to stop. Knoxville: "Cut the music!"The music dies out as the cheer of the fans linger in the air slowly dying away as hell. As they wait in silence, Knoxville slowly walks around the ring with the mic held to his mouth and his other hand resting on his hip. Knoxville: "Now, that was a comeback worth returnin' to. Look it... most of you people know who I am, others have forotten I'm sure. I've been away from the game up here for a while now. I must admit, it feels good to be back in this great country we call America!"The crowd erupts in cheers as Knoxville nods his head up and down leaving them waiting on his next words. Knoxville: "Over a year ago, I left Asylum unannounced, unpredicted and prematurely. Lookin' back on that now, I regret it. But then I stop and think to myself. If I hadn't made the mistakes I made in the past then I wouldn't be the man that stands before you now. A man who's climbed his way through the depths of hell and overcame any and every one who stood in my way. A man who overcame the obstacles set before him and conquered. A man, that finally now realizes that his true home was here in APW, not down south with the masked wrestlers of Mexico and sure as hell not with the losers who dwell in the... well, lets just leave those jerkoffs out of the picture."
"It just feels good to be back, damn good. I want to make a promise to you all while I stand here with your undivided attention. From this point forward, a new man stands before you now. I vow to give all you fans every ounce of energy I have to offer and guarantee to put on the best show I can possibly present. Sure, I've had my ups and downs. But we're soaring high now. You people know what it is! American Highlife has come to an APW screen, arena, whatever once again! And it seems that my comeback has come with a reward of its own. It seems that I get to challenge my next opponent for you fans next week on Meltdown."
"The question is, just who is it goin' to be? I'll make that clear to everyone right now watching here in the arena or on the couch back home. I came back to make an impact tonight and prove to you all that I'm here for business this time.
With that said, just who in the [censored] are the Natrual Born Kilaz? I'm ready to find out for myself next week right here on Meltdown. I'm callin' both of you punks out. You two against me all by myself. Leon Roberts and Jake Titan, I'll see you bitches next week."Knoxville then holds his arm out to the side and drops the mic as "American High" by Machine Head plays over the arena and the fans cheer in excitement. *COMMERCIAL BREAK*

Our cameras return to ringside and the crowd is already thunderous with its boos as Sienna Harrison stands in the middle of the ring. She stands with her arms crossed, a microphone in her hand. She raises her eyebrow, looking around at the audience. She finally raises the microphone up to her lips. Sienna: Aheh... Heh... Hem.This only prompts an even louder chorus of boos from the raucous Chicago audience. Sienna glares into the audience, shaking her head and then throws the microphone up to her lips. Sienna: You know, you people are a class act.The crowd cheers, unanimously, mocking the Vice-General Manager. She shakes her head, glaring. Sienna: You don't respect me. You don't respect our North American Champion. You don't respect Alexander Duvall... Robina Hood... Tuhoa Valo... You don't even respect Aubrey J. Parker.There is a loud mixed reaction at the mention of the name and Sienna shakes her head, laughing. Sienna: You're PURELY reactionary! All of you! You don't have thoughts, actions, or minds of your owns. You people boo me, but Meltdown ratings are higher now than they were in the Envi era. Than they were in the Rivera era. The Lively era. THIS is the Duvall/Harrison era and you all are living in it, and loving it! You don't have to admit it-- you just have to pay for it. So go ahead.
Boo. Boo me. And pay me, because you're the same people that line up outside of the arenas every single week to get MY autograph and to get Alexander Duvall to sign your programs and your t-shirts so go ahead.
Boo me. But understand that all we have ever done is given you what you want, when you had no way of KNOWING what you wanted. You wanted blood? You got blood. You wanted a Falls Count Anywhere match? You GOT Falls Count Anywhere.
You wanted Mannie and Zing in a cage... And damnit, that's what you got. That's what we did for you! And BY THE WAY, Amy Zing has been thrown out of the arena. We haven't decided what to do with her yet.The boos continue to rain down.
Sienna: Boo me.
But don't you dare boo the future. DON'T YOU DARE spit in the face of what you people have created! What YOU people wanted to see! YOU wanted to see the new face of Action Packed Wrestling and after tonight, that might be what you get.
Ladies and gentlemen, I dare you to boo the Canadian Sensation...The crowd boos uproariously and the camera pans around to show the tens of thousands in attendance, on their feet, voicing and showing their disapproval. Sienna: Ladies and gentlemen... PLEASE WELCOME YOUR NEWEST MEMBER OF ASYLUM...
SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAME
DARLING YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME! The guitars and drums of the timeless Bon Jovi classic kick in throughout the arena as Christian Kane makes his way through the curtain and onto the stage, signature smirk and all, microphone already in hand. Red and white lights focus on the Canadian Sensation and flash rapidly, drawing attention to him with the lights illuminating his body. West: Well, this is a surprise!Harris: Is it? This man has it all. This man IS the future. And they're booing! The NERVE!Christian Kane makes his way down to the ring and climbs inside as his music fades. He grins around at the booing audience and shakes his head, holding the microphone. Christian Kane: First off, I want to thank you for the lovely introduction, Ms. Harrison. I also want to thank you for the opportunity, and I want to thank you for seeing something in me that I knew all along. Something that deep down, these people knew all along! Something Logan Alexander knew all along. Tonight in this very ring I will win the North American title! When I do...I'm going to be the best champion the division has ever seen...I am the future. But the future is now.Sienna: The future's in good hands. The--Sienna shoots a glare into the booing audience. "YOU SUCK!"
"YOU SUCK!"
"YOU SUCK!" Christian Kane: SHUT UP!Kane smirks again as the crowd boos. Christian Kane: Don't you dare interrupt Ms. Harrison and don't you DARE boo me!The crowd continues to boo, drawing a glare from Sienna, but Christian moves to the ropes, speaking louder into the microphone. Christian Kane: When I win the North American title it won't stop there! Oh no! You see there are two thorns in my side that I've had enough of. Two thorns in my side that I need to get rid of. I need to embarrass them, humiliate them...take their titles from them. M&M, the last time the four of us were in a ring together I had Logan knocked out cold and a slip up cost my partner KJE and I the match. Next time...? I'll be leaving the ring with two title belts...
#STUDLIFE.Kane's music hits the PA system again as he drops the mic. Sienna smirks at him from the corner, watching as he exits the ring and makes his way up the ramp. West: Change of heart by Sienna Harrison?Harris: She saw in Kane what Duvall saw all along! It was just a matter of time, Shane-O! And now he's going to Asylum... And he could be taking the North American Title with him!*COMMERCIAL BREAK* |

We return to the sound of the bell ringing. Nicky Paige: The following tag team bout is scheduled for one fall!"I can't get started from the part, where I left off, yesterday!/Should've spent my time a little wiser."
The lights spur sporadically. Flashing multiple colors, with darkness prevailing between all. As the full song kicks in, besides the opening vocals and short spurs of heavy guitar chords; smoke abruptly pours onto the entrance ramp.
"I sat alone, guilty as sin, waiting for words to come from out of my head / not making sense to anyone!"Upon this, Kevin Dahlia excitedly "pops" from the confines of behind the curtain, a singular arm raised, and a cocky smirk smeered across his lips. His eyes gleam with megalomania intent. A quick spin around, akin to what someone who is showcasing a new attire would express, is performed by Kevin. His arms outstretched. He slowly saunters to the ring. Upon reaching the bottom of the ramp, he walks to a fan. A younger child extending a pen and paper. Signaling for an autograph. Kevin smiles as he walks towards the child. He takes ahold of the pen and paper, and begins to scratch. He turns the sheet towards the child, revealing it to read "NO". He rips the sheet, and returns the pen, petting the head of the disheartened child. Smirking, proud of his douchery, Kevin runs and hops to the edge of the ring. He slides along it on a single knee, with a hand grasping the middle rope for balance. Looking into the camera, he exclaims, "Gotta be K.D. baby". Using the rope for assistance, he gracefully enters the ring, running to a ring post, climbing it and extending his arms. He soaks in the jeering, as though it's what he was searching for. Nicky Paige: Introducing first, from Vancouver, British Columbia, weighing in at 224 lbs., “The New Cancer” Kevin Dahlia!
The opening drumbeat to "A Devil In God's Country" by Lamb of God blares over the PA system and once the riff starts Evan comes out with a cocky smirk on his face, he kisses an attractive woman at ringside before he rolls into the ring and poses for the crowd as they boo him. Nicky Paige: And his partner, from Edinburgh, Scotland, weighing in at 265 lbs., “Your Scottish Sensation” Evan McDonald!!!
The lights dim as the song 'Natural Born Killaz' starts to play. A couple of spotlights begin to focus on the stage, as a bit of fog fills the floor. [Dr. Dre]
Journey with me
Into the mind of a maniac
Doomed to be a killer
Since I came out the nutsac
I'm in a murderous mindsate
With a heart full of terror
I see the devil in the mirror.Both men appear on the stage, along with Leon's Wife Demonica. Jake Titan is seen with his shopping cart full of weapons. BUCK BUCK, Lights out
Cause when I get my sawed off
N***** get hauled off [Ice Cube:] haha barrel one
Touches your motherf***in flesh [Ice Cube:] barrel two
Shoots your f***in heart out your chest
You see I'm quick to let the hammer go click
On my Tec-9 so if you try to reck mine
Fool it's your bad time
Feel the blast of the chocolate bomber
Infra red aimed at your head
Like your name was Sarah ConnerAll three walk down the ramp. Once at ringside, Jake parks his Shopping card, as Demonica cimbs up and waits on the apron. Both men slide in. Decapitatin I ain't hesitatin
To put you in the funderal home
With a bullet in your dome
I'm hot like lava
You got a problem?
I got a problem solver
And his name is revolver
It's like a deadly game of freeze tag
I touch you with a 44 mag
And your frozen inside a body bag
Nobody iller
Than this graveyard filler
Cap peeler
Cause I'm a Natural Born Killa Leon and Jake both head to the center of the ring. Leon poses with his arms crossed, while Jake kneels infront doing two guns pointing down gang sign. They maintain that pose until the lyrics start up again. [Ice Cube]
Terror illistrates my era
Now I cant hang around my momma
Cause I scare her
I'm quick to blast motherf***er
[Dr. Dre:] yeah what's up
[Ice Cube:]It feels like I'm bustin a nut
When I open you up
Cause your body is exposed to the midnight mist
All you weak motherf***ers give my ring a kissJake gets up, and Demonica removes their jackets, as she heads out of the ring. Both men the head for opposing turnbuckles, and pose for the fans. Nicky Paige: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined 515 lbs., Leon “The Virus” Roberts, Jake Titan...The Natural Born Killaz!!!!!!!
 Kevin Dahlia and Jake Titan meet in the center of the ring and lock up. Titan lifts a knee high into the sternum of his opponent, and drives an elbow into the back of Kevin’s head before spinning him around for a neck breaker. Jake lifts Kevin and delivers a quick boot and a violent impact DDT. West: The ring just moved!
Titan yanks Dahlia upright and suplexes him into the turnbuckles jamming the lower back of the Dahlia against the thin padding. Dahlia reaches up and tags Evan McDonald. Evan McDonald is less than impressed with Jake and they lock up in the middle of the ring. McDonald delivers a stiff punch to the stomach and delivers a hard headbutt to the head of Jake Titan. Jake Titan sits up leaning against the ropes holding his forehead as McDonald backs up then sprints forward leaping through the air and delivers a strong drop kick. He grabs Jake by the neck and lifts him up and sends him into the corner...Leon Roberts is more than ready to tag in. Leon gets in the ring and he and McDonald begin to brawl. The ref is trying to get order, but McDonald and Roberts will have none of it. Titan and Dahlia have re-entered the ring and are throwing wild punches at each other. Dahlia lifts Titan off the ground and plants him on the mat, they start brawling and jockeying for position and end up rolling out of the ring where they continue to fight. Back in the ring, Leon Roberts has taken over. He spins McDonald around and nails a Full Nelson Slam. 1 . . . KICKOUT! Roberts doesn’t like that McDonald kicked out on one and gets up and starts delivering the boots to Evan. Dahlia seems to have come out on top of his brawl with Titan on the floor and jumps up to the top rope...Roberts doesn’t see him...JUMPING BOOTSTOMP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!!!! The ref chases Dahlia out of the ring, but as his back is turned Titan is back in the ring, he grabs a recovering McDonald and lifts him up...jumps high...PILEDRIVER!!!! McDonald crumples over. The ref sees what has happened and gets Titan out of the ring. McDonald and Roberts lay in a heap. Harris: The match may have started nice, but the insulting actions of both teams has caused the pace of this match to go to the hilt. They are trying to kill each other! I love it!
West: And the fans love it too!McDonald is the first to get back to his feet and goes to tag in Dahlia. Roberts is using the ropes to get back to his feet, and is holding the back of his head. Dahlia runs at him, but Leon lifts his boot up and Dahlia falls to the ground after having his head whipped back by the big man's boot. "The Virus" lifts Dahlia up in a Gorilla Press...HELLBOUND CHOKESLAM!!!!!
Harris: What strength!1 . . . 2 . . . 3!!!!!!! Nicky Paige: Your winners...The Natural Born Killaz!!!!!!!Regis Philbin dressed to the 9's appears on the titantron and everybody could hear the crickets chirp from all around the world. But, then he smiles to a surprisingly loud pop. He doesn’t waste any time before announcing some things to the live audience and those watching at home. Regis Philbin: “As all of you may know or may not know my godson is wrestling tonight. Trevor Hyatt has ate, slept and crapped this business for over fifteen years. This guy doesn’t boast about what he’s’ done. He remembers what the fans made him do and laid out for him. He’s now one of the high profile names on the Meltdown roster. He doesn’t expect to be drafted on his second night on the roster. But, he does see himself headlining Meltdown in the unforeseeable future. He’s also told me that he hopes Young Mannie regains that title as he’ll be working his way up until he shuts his mouth. I’m sure he won’t mind me saying this but Trevor is a very kind and sweet man. He never once did any harm outside of this profession. And for that we think you. And I have faith that’ll you bring home another “W” as you’re “Simply” my favorite Godson.”With those kind words, the audience roars. Shane West: Can’t believe that Regis is Trevor Hyatt’s godson... pretty interesting words from him.Dick Harris: And I can’t believe that he is cheering for that loser Godson. All hail the Guv’nor!Regis Philbin: Before I head off the air... I have an announcement to make, ladies and gentlemen.Harris: REGIS IS GONNA WRESTLE AT RASSLEMANIA! CALLIN' IT!West: St... Stop.Regis Philbin: A good friend of mine, Mr. Alexander Duvall had a favor to ask of me and I've decided to oblige.The crowd boos at the mention of the Meltdown General Manager, and Philbin smiles faintly. Regis Philbin: Ladies and gentlemen... At this time I would like to proudly declare that the newest member of the Action Packed Wrestling Overdrive roster...He laughs slightly as the crowd grows louder in anticipation. Regis Philbin: A man that told Mr. Duvall earlier this evening that he was going to defeat Logan Alexander tonight... The "Future" Anthony Washington!Harris: Washington?!West: What a push in the right direction for Washington!Philbin gives the audience, who is responding with a loud mixed reaction, a smile and a nod before the satellite feed cuts. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* |

The arena is smothered in darkness as the house lights drop down, only the flicker of a few lighters offering a puncture in blackness. The Megatron lights up and displays the words to the following voiceover. One day some of the kids in the neighbourhood carried my mother’s groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect.
Respect
Respect
Respect The sound of the track penetrates; it’s the sound of a siren accompanied by the lyrical flow of UK Apache as ‘Original Nuttah’ introduces itself. New name, mon:
The original nuttah
Take heed and take check This continues as the siren wails and the arena remains in complete darkness. Forty seconds and lighting effects kick in, all multi-coloured and psychedelic-like, matching the tempo of the MC’s flow, slowly building up the anticipation in the crowd. Bad boys inna London
Rude boys inna England Around 1:20, as the drum beat kicks, strobe lighting effects explodes all over the stage as the jungle and MC kick into full flow. Mi are di nuttah
Original madmah madmah mad nuttah Out steps The Guv’nor, dancing and prancing his way like a hillbilly e-ed up to the eyeballs. Joining in with the frenzied orgy, the in-house crowd turn the event into a full on rave as The Guv’nor marches down to the ring. Nicky Paige: Hailing from the East End of London, he weighs 228lbs...THE GUV’NOR!!!The Guv’nor slides into the ring and tosses his shades into the crowd as the music fades out and he gets ready for his opponent. West: We’ve got Fatal 4-Way action, one fall to the finish, coming up now, and it looks like The Guv’nor is turning Meltdown into a bit of a party Dick.Harris: Awright mate, how you doing mate, got a few pennies for some jellied eels and a bowler hat?West: What the heck was that? Harris: My impression of an Englishman. West: You’ve just hit new depths Dick. "I'm Simply...Trevor Hyatt" Well I don't mind stealing bread. From the mouths of decadents. But I can't feed on the powerless. When my cup's already overfilled. Trevor Hyatt bursts out of a foggy mist that drips toward the ring with a smile on his face. Pacing to the ring amongst many cheers and some crowd of boos. Behind him is his loving father wrestling legend Seth Hyatt and the crowd are chanting one more match as he nods in approval.Trevor takes off the glittery silver silk robe & black aviators he was wearing and then hands it to a walking by stage hand. He then adjusts himself quickly before leaping over the top rope into the ring with a major amount of athleticism. A little boy is looking sad in the crowd and then Trevor leaves to check on him. Paige: From Trenton, NJ; he weighs 218lbs....”SIMPLY” TREVOR HYATT!!!Trevor motions behind the little boy's ear to retrieve the black aviators in a magic like fashion putting them on his face before going back into the ring. He goes back in the ring taking a knee in the center of the ring as the camera swirls around this unique specimen. He is wearing glittery silk tights and matching boots and his wrists are taped with T.H. in black permanent marker on both fists. The pyro of glitter pops out of the ring posts twice as Trevor chuckles before standing once more. He turns looking at the entrance ramp shouting Simply! as Seth Hyatt claps preparing to watch his son do battle. West: The word on the street is that Trevor Hyatt-- apparently a relative of Regis Philbin-- has a highly decorated past. Harris: Well my wife was talking about getting the house re-painted, so I’ll have a chat with him after the match.The lights completely go blank as nothing two feet in front of you can be seen. As soon as the light dim to darkness Get Up by KoRn blares on the speakers. Once the techno of the song blares, the lights flash on like a bolt of lightning. The faces of the crowd can finally be seen as red spot lights fly around the arena and ring. Pyros go on allowing Donald to finally be seen walking out from the back. He gets to the top of the entrance ramp and looks around while the crowd goes crazy. After a few seconds of looking around the arena he finallly makes his way towards the ring. Paige: From New York City; weighing 215lbs...DONALD “D-DAY” DERUTY!!!Walking foot after foot towards the ring is Donald. While taking his several steps towards the ring Donald messes with his wrist tape and extended elbow pad on his left arm. After making it right in front of the ring he stops and jumps straight up on the apron. Immediately after jumping on the apron Donald makes his way to the turnbuckle and stands with his feet on the second rope. He looks around the arena once again before hopping over the top rope into and onto the ring mat, awaiting his opponent. Where Eagles Dare plays and Warren walks out to the ramp with little showmanship. there are no special lights, pyro or fog. The punk music blares and Warren is all business. He stares at the ring as he walks, no doubt going over his plan of attack. Peace takes his time as he walks up the stairs and enters the ring, ignoring the crowds reactions, good or bad and focuses on the task at hand. Paige: From Pittsburgh, PA; he weighs 200lbs....WARREN PEACE! West: We’ve seen a different kind of Warren Peace since his return.Harris: As long as he gets back to winning ways I doubt he will care much what the world has to say.
The match begins as The Guv’nor surprises Hyatt with a short jab, followed by a tackle into the corner and repeated shoulder thrusts. Peace and Deruty tie-up, neither man giving an inch before Peace stamps on Deruty’s foot and fends him off with repeated backhand chops to the chest. The Guv’nor has Hyatt down in a seated position and begins to choke him with the bottom rope. The ref steps in quickly and drags The Guv’nor away, giving him a stern reprimand. Peace backs Deruty onto the ropes, whips him across the ring and follows through with a shoulder charge, going for the cover and getting a one count from the eagle eyed official. The Guv’nor now whips Hyatt across the ring, but “Simply” Trev leaps onto the top rope and lands a corkscrew moonsault onto the onrushing Guv’nor. Hyatt lifts The Guv’nor and connects with a couple of European uppercuts before hitting the ropes and dropping The Guv’nor with a one-handed bulldog. Peace has Deruty in a side headlock, Hyatt moves in and clubs Peace to the back of the head, breaking the hold. Hyatt lands a couple of chops to the chest, then hits the ropes, but Peace counters with a back body drop, only to stumble into a tiger suplex from Deruty, this time the kick out coming on the count of two.
West: It’s been fast and furious so far with nobody really getting any advantage here.
Harris: I think we’ll see here these are four evenly matched Megastars, and in these Fatal 4 Way situations you can’t rule out the influence of a bit of good fortune.
As Deruty gets to his feet The Guv’nor blindsides him with repeated elbow smashes, knocking him back onto the ropes. Peace swings for The Guv’nor, but he ducks under and counters with a savate kick. Hyatt is back on his feet, but not for long before The Guv’nor nails him with the London Drop. With the crowd popping for The Guv’nor, and the adrenaline shooting through his body, he charges Deruty and takes them both over the top rope to the outside with a Cactus clothesline. Inside the ring Peace crawls across and makes a cover on Hyatt...

The Guv’nor drags the referee out of the ring.
West: A real close call there – Warren Peace almost taking advantage of The Guv’nor’s overzealousness.
Harris: That’s what experience brings. Of these Megastars nobody has had more APW ring time than Peace, and it showed there as he tried to pounce on that mistake.
The Guv’nor grabs a folded steel chair and wastes no time cracking Donald Deruty over the head with it. The crowd don’t know how to react, some cheer, some jeer. However, the match official is furious and starts to berate The Guv’nor. The Guv’nor ignores the official, slides back into the ring and lines up the Warren Peace, who is on one knee; however the ref is able to yank the chair out of The Guv’nor’s grasp and throw it over the top rope. The ref starts yelling at The Guv’nor, indicating that he is being thrown out of the match. The Guv’nor tries to protest, but the ref indicates he needs to leave and head backstage. The Guv’nor flips the ref a ‘V’ with his first and middle fingers and leaves the ring, but not without first violently pushing the ref down to the mat and stomping hard on his chest.
West: In all my years as a broadcaster I don’t think I have ever seen anything as remarkable as this. The Guv’nor has been metaphorically sent off, sin-binned, banished to the back, whatever you want to call it.
Harris: I’m no expert on the rules, but does the ref even have that authority? Last I heard there were no disqualifications in 4-way matches.
West: I guess The Guv’nor set a precedent here for bad behaviour, and putting his hands on the official like that- you have to believe there will be further ramifications for The Guv’nor.
As The Guv’nor heads up the ramp, Warren Peace climbs to the top rope and lines up Hyatt for a diving headbutt, but Deruty climbs onto the ring apron to counter. An exchange of blows ensues with Peace eventually landing a blow that knocks Deruty down, but not without him pulling down the top rope and causing Peace to saddle to the top turnbuckle. Hyatt moves quickly, climbing up and superplexing Deruty form the top rope. This gives everyone a chance to take a breather as all three men remain down for 10-15 seconds to catch their breath.
The passes and Hyatt is the first man to his feet. He grabs Warren Peace and tries to set him up for Simply Trevor, but Peace counters and pushes Hyatt off...into the grasp of Deruty and drops Hyatt with an armbar take down and tries to synch in the Justice Lock....but Hyatt is quick to reach for the ropes, and Peace moves in with a double knee drop to the back of Deruty. Hyatt gets to his feet, Peace lands a kidney shot, then turns to Deruty, but gets planted with a fisherman’s suplex...1...2...NO! Hyatt dives in to the make the save. Now Hyatt and Deruty are on their feet and trading shots. Hyatt tries a middle kick....blocked by Deruty...but Hyatt counters with an Enziguri, but as Hyatt tries to move in on Deruty Peace nails him with a reverse DDT, into a cover...1....2..........Deruty makes the save with a leg drop.
West: It’s incredible action...to-ing and fro-ing all over the place.
Harris: Fantastic commitment by these three as they try to get themselves a precious, morale boosting victory on Meltdown.
West: There it is! A huge win for Deruty!
Harris: That came out of nowhere Shane, but shows off the strength of that submission hold when Deruty has it locked in good and tight.
Deruty lifts Peace to his feet and lands a couple of forearms to the face, but Peace counters with a Mongolian chop, a kick to the gut, then tries to set Deruty up for a piledriver. Cue Hyatt, who springboards off the top rope looking for the Simply Flawless hurricanrana, only for Peace to counter into a powerbomb. Peace flips Hyatt over onto his back, before grabbing Deruty again and drilling him into the mat with a sitout piledriver. Peace covers.....

Winner: Warren PeaceWe cut backstage to where Logan Alexander is walking along one of the back halls alongside Aubrey Parker. They walk along in almost uneasy silence, merely glancing around as they make their way. Logan glances towards Aubrey, before breaking the silence. LA: "There's been something that's been weighing on my mind for most of the week... I've been a bit hesitant to bring it up but I figure I should."He looks away a few moments after she meets his gaze. LA: "I'd like for you to stay away from ringside for the handicap match."She stops abruptly, looking at Logan with a look not much different from the one she'd been wearing all night long. When she speaks there is little emotion in unison with her words. AJP: What... why?Logan stops and turns to face her. LA: "Apart from grudges, there's no reason for you to be out there. You're not allowed to put your hands on any Meltdown competitor anyway. Last week you were attacked and we're able to do anything to defend yourself. Why put yourself out there again?
I just think it might be better for you to save your energy for a better opportunity. And I don't intend on letting last week repeat itself... and if it should... then we'll do something about it on our terms."Aubrey looks at Logan and stares in silence. Eventually she brings her fingers through her hair and takes a deep breath. AJP: 'kay.LA: "It's not a knock against you Aubrey. Just that these aren't the right circumstances. I'd actually prefer to have you there in my corner. So this'll be the last time we play this particular game. We'll do things our way from here on."She looks away for a moment and then smiles. AJP: I like our way.Logan nods to her and smiles back. We fade to black as the two part ways. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* |

We return from commercial break with a Tout, showing Buckson Gooch sitting in his rocking chair on his porch in PossomGrape, AR. Buckson Gooch: I just got word that Anthony "The Future" Washington is being called up to Overdrive. He will be coming right where he needs to be. Overdrive is full of solid talent, and a guy like Washington fits the Overdrive reputation. Tough as nails. Never gives up.
Buck takes a nice long drink from his glass of icy, sweet tea. Buckson Gooch: At 6'6" and 235 lbs., with lighting fast speed and awesome strike power...His "Futuristic Drive" is making a reputation is one of the most deadly moves in APW...I'm glad Washington is getting called up to Overdrive. I look forward to facing him, if that time comes.
Buck runs his hands through his hair. Buckson Gooch: Iron sharpens iron. We want the best competition on Overdrive. In the true form of Southern Hospitality, I welcome Anthony "The Future" Washington to the Overdrive brand. Best wishes to you.
The tout ends with Buck reaching for his sweet tea and we cut back to ringside, displaying the cheering audience. The lights dim and as the opening chords of ‘Endless Possibility’ start to play and the name ‘Logan Alexander’ appears on the tron. The crowd begins to cheer even though Logan doesn’t emerge from the entry way, while a video package covering many of his APW matches and several other older ones from other feds plays on the tron. One section of the crowd begins to buzz more loudly than the others, and the camera quickly focus on that section of it. Logan comes into view shortly after with AJP at his aside. His expression is cool and focused as he makes his way through the crowd towards the ringside area, acting as if they weren’t even there. Once at the ringside barricade, he places his hands on it and practically vaults over it, into the ringside area. Logan climbs the ring steps and steps onto the ring apron. He climbs into the ring, moving to the center of it and looking around at the crowd who cheer loudly for him. He nods in appreciation before heading to one corner of the ring. There, he removes and drops his jacket to one of the ring side technicians.. He moves back to the corner and leans against it, and looks towards the entryway, waiting for his partner to show up. Nicky Paige: The following handicap match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first: from Toronto, Ontario, Canada; weighing 223lbs....LOGAN “CHAOS STRYKE” ALEXANDER!!!West: Logan, earlier tonight, asked Aubrey J. Parker to not come to ringside. Logan Alexander is a man that many feel should STILL be our APW North American Champion.Harris: But he's not. Mannie is! It's his last night on Meltdown and he's already terrorized Sienna and Kaylyn! What a hostile man!West: Jeez...As the opening of the song starts to play, the video flashes on the tron of a camera panning up a grassy hill at night slowly until it gets to the top, panning from left to right, lightning flashing in the sky as the opening guitar rift plays. Niobe appears on the hilltop, standing with her legs shoulder width apart, arms down at her sides as she slowly makes her way down the hill before breaking into a run just as the beginning lyrics play... 'Nightmare! Now your nightmare comes to life...' Niobe comes running out from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the ramp briefly to extend her arms out to the sides. 'Dragged you down below Down to the devils show To be his guest forever Peace of mind is less than never..' As the lyrics of the song continue to play, she drops her arms and walks down the ramp, sliding under the bottom rope of the ring. She stands up and throws off the hood of her jacket, pointing a finger at the crowd with a smile. Paige: His partner: from Los Angeles, CA; weighing 125lbs....NIOBE “NIGHTMARE” MARTIN!!!They say we wanted attentionThose five words of "Ignite" by Noisestorm, None Like Joshua & Veela immediately interrupts [name of opponent]'s theme and causes him/her to glare at the stage to see their opponent. We really need a platform to teach a lesson
Well hey you forgot to mention
We're living for the melody in our headA purple-haired lady comes out from the backstage area with a black jacket draped over her shoulders. The fans gives out a rather mixed response to this woman they knew as one Robina Hood. Oh are we pretentious?
Or do we have stories boiling in us?
Poor fool, you're not gonna get to us
We don't even notice this...As that voice continued to sing she walks to the top of the stage and throws her arms up high in the air, causing the jacket to fly off her shoulder and onto the floor. She proceeds to make her way down the aisle towards the ring. Some of the fans cheered, some booed and some of the younger members stayed nervously silent as Robina walked pass them, her eyes not blinking away from her opposition. I haven't seen the sun
In over sixty-seven days
The time is moving
With the heavens when I said to wait
The room is growing smaller
And the days are getting shorter
But I have to stay awake
Cause this could change the worldWest: Tall order for Logan and Niobe tonight. Look at the look Niobe is giving Robina.Harris: Robina tried to get the jump on her last week-- then Niobe lost her DAMN mind.Suddenly a male voice began to sing, at a faster rate than the female voice that came beforehand, and as the voice sung Robina made her way to ringside. She was a bit slow to go over to the ring steps as the female's eyes remained fully focused on her opponent, almost as if planning when to pounce. Paige: And their opponents: introducing first…from Sherwood Forest…weighing in at one hundred thirty-two pounds……ROBINA HOOD!And it's time to tell the people
When nobody will
It's time to bring the life
To what I've written with a quill
I must create, then innovate
And let it see the light
And when I'm done, I will be changing
Now watch me ignite!She walks up the ring steps, halfway across the apron and steps into the ring as the song continued. Once in the ring Robina kept her eyes on her opponent, pointed a finger at him/her and states that "you're going to die!" but when 'watch me ignite' goes through the system, the female spins 270 degrees and punches the air, getting a louder yet still mixed reaction from the people in the arena. Miss Hood then simply stands there and glared her eyes towards her opponent as the referee pats her boots, checking for any weapons stashed in there, while her theme slowly dies out. "What you get is what you see it won't take much to get hooked on me so shoot me right into your skin and i will be your heroin the sideaffects are sexual are you down for a taste? the sideaffects are sexual and you love the way i say I'm your favorite drug your favorite drug just one hit is never enough i'm your favorite drug your favorite drug you cant break this addiction no. your favorite drug...." The lyrics to Porcelian and the Tramps- I'm Your Favorite Drug continued to play over the PA system as the lights fade putting the arena into total darkness. Just as the chorus would end there is a bang as the lights turn back on full blast and a cloud of smoke is on the entrance way with a figure standing within it. The chorus starts up once more but this time with the lyrics included is none other then Kaylyn Evans who steps out from within the smokey patch on the stage. As the chorus was being heard throughout the crowd a smiling Kaylyn Evans was on her way down the ramp with a stride that showed nothing but confidence in herself no matter what the outcome of today's event's would be. Dressed in a black and lime green set of attire Kaylyn flaunts her body as she walks past the fans. Reaching the bottom of the ramp way Kaylyn stops and turns to the right heading around the ring and towards the far steps to ascend them and make her way onto the apron. Crossing the apron she stands there looking out at the fans. Hooking her arms on the top rope, in perfect Kaylyn fashion, she flipped back over the top rope and into the ring where she made her way around the ring looking out at all the fans in the arena, booing and not. As the music would cut Kaylyn would be focused and ready for what was to come. Paige: From Brooklyn, NY; weighing 119lbs...KAYLYN JAMES EVANS!!!!West: She screwed Logan. She came out of nowhere and SCREWED Logan out of the North American Championship last w--Harris: Oh, would you give it up? It's the past! Logan needs to let go!Logan glares at Kaylyn from across the ring, but a small smirk is evident on his face. The lights dim dark as the fans begin to make loud chatter, anticipating who's about to appear. A huge diamond appears on the titontron as "I'm different" by 2 Chainz begins to blast over the PA system. The crowd starts making some noise with mixed reactions as others sing along.
I'm different, yea I'm different
I'm different, yea I'm different
I'm different, yea I'm different
pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing
pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing
pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing
pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing
middle finger up to my competition
out of the darkness and camera flashes, the spotlight points to the beginning of the stage as a couple of staff workers pulls out a red carpet spreading all the way down the ramp. As the workers scatter the camera flashes continue to shoot towards the entrance stage, awaiting an arrival. All of a sudden, an all white Mercedes Benz comes pulling in from the right side of the stage. The Mercedes continues to pull in, then comes to a complete stop in the middle of the stage. The fans continue to uproar mixed reactions as Anthony Washington slowly exits the car. Wearing his trademark "future" shades, white and blue trunks, white boots laced up, and a chain that spells out future hanging to the middle of his chest, Anthony Washington stood there and looked around. Finally, Washington lifts his arms up, putting both his pointing fingers together as well as his thumbs to form a triangle, as sparks fly from both sides of the ramp and all the way down. Washington then begins strutting down the ramp slapping his chest and pointing at his face. As Washington comes to the end of the ramp he looks up at the crowd on both sides then begins to Dougie, or lean with his shoulders from side to side. Laughing, he quickly runs up the steel steps and wipes his feet before entering the ring. He prances around the ring a couple times then climbs on top of the turnbuckle. Washington grabs his chain, raises it up to his mouth, kisses it, and then raises it up in the air pointing at it yelling. He jumps down pointing up the triangle as the music fades away. Paige: From Miami, FL; weighing 238lbs....ANTHONY “THE FUTURE” WASHINGTON!!!West: Well, here comes Overdrive's newest acquisition and they’re all out here at last, and as if that long entrance wasn’t an ordeal, now Logan and Niobe have to face a match with the odds stacked against them.Harris: I’m telling you Shane, after her antics last night on Asylum, AJP is the wild card in this if she decides to show her face! She may not be officially part of this match, but that hasn't stopped her previously and I wouldn’t be surprised if she started swinging chairs here tonight. The bell rings and the crowd immediately starts a ”LOGAN” chant. He points directly to KJE but she shakes her head and shoves Hood forward. Hood glares at KJE while she and Washington step out to the apron. Hood turns toward Logan, but she’s quickly taken to the mat with a Clothesline! The crowd cheers and Hood gets up, running at Logan again but is taken down with a Hip Toss, then another Hip Toss. She groggily gets up and Logan hits a Running STO. He lifts Hood up and Irish Whips her violently into his corner, where Niobe Martin delivers a lightning-fast roundhouse kick to Hood’s temple! Hood stumbles back and Logan tags Martin in, stepping out to the apron. Martin leaps up to the top turnbuckle. West: And now Chicago is electric for Robina Hood vs Niobe Martin!Niobe Martin dives from the top rope and nails a Flying Clothesline as Hood gets up. She hooks the near leg for a cover! 1 . . . 2 . . . Kickout! Harris: Hood is Sienna Harrison’s “Perfect” Megastar, but maybe she’s still a little bit afflicted from last week’s-- well-- what was GOING to be a Chairs match.West: Turned into an ambush gone wrong.Martin fights Robina up to her feet, driving her into the corner with forearms, but Robina counters with a thumb to the eyes, just out of the ref’s field of vision. Martin staggers back and Robina charges forward, hitting a Running Back Elbow. Niobe gets up to her knees, but Robina hits a Running Big Boot to the side of her head, falling into the ropes. She stumbles to her corner and tags in Kaylyn James Evans to a huge reaction from the crowd. KJE smirks at Logan and watches Niobe climb to her feet. She grabs her from behind and locks her in an Abdominal Stretch with a Chin Lock, locking eyes with Logan the entire time, demanding ”where is she?!” over and over, pulling harder on Niobe’s neck each time. Finally, she lets Niobe go. Niobe falls to her knees and Kaylyn grabs her in a side headlock but then somersaults over her, bridging over Niobe in a bridging, inverted side headlock! Niobe screams out in pain and reaches for the ropes. West: Innovative submission maneuver by Kaylyn James Evans here and Niobe is in a tremendous amount of pain! Look at her neck!Niobe is about a foot from the ropes, but is fading and looks to be ready to tap... ...Until Logan charges forward and hits a Baseball Slide to Kaylyn’s shoulder! Kaylyn is thrown off, and jumps to her feet while Logan calmly exits the ring. Harris: UNFAIR!West: Logan is doing things his way now, apparently!Kaylyn lifts Niobe up again, but is stopped by a sit-out Jawbreaker. Kaylyn drops down to her knees, clutching her chin in pain. Niobe crawls toward her corner to the crowd’s delight, but KJE grabs her foot! Niobe reaches, and hops up on one foot. She turns and goes for an Enzuigiri, but Kaylyn ducks! Niobe hops up again and hits an Enzuigiri on the second try! Kaylyn is thrown to the mat and Niobe dives into her corner, tagging in Logan! West: And there’s the tag!Kaylyn dives into her corner, remaining just inches from Logan’s grasp, tagging in Anthony Washington. She rolls out of the ring and the crowd boos loudly. Logan glares at her from the ring. Washington steps into the ring over the center of the ropes-- and Logan immediately hits a European Uppercut! Washington falls against the ropes, and Robina immediately tags herself in, unbeknownst to Logan. Logan Irish Whips Washington to the other side of the ring and charges him, hitting a Running Double Knee Front Lungblower! Washington writhes in pain on the mat and Logan covers him, but before the referee can inform him of the tag, Robina nails Logan with a Running Boot! Harris: HA! THAT is how you pick up a win!West: Cover!Robina Hood hooks both legs of the stunned Logan Alexander. 1 . . . 2 . . Kickout! She grins as she pushes herself to her feet and backs herself into the corner. She hops up to the second rope and waits for Logan to get up, diving and hitting him with two knees to the back of the skull as he gets up! She lands next to him and pushes him over onto his back, hopping up, stomping him viciously, moving in a circle around him to the crowd’s displeasure before hooking his far leg. 1 . . 2 . . THRRRE- Kickout! West: And now Robina Hood, the “Perfect” Megastar is showing some frustration.Harris: Y’know, I wonder how Kaylyn James Evans feels about Sienna referring to Hood as her “Perfect” Megastar. I mean, Kaylyn and Sienna are girls, right? And Kaylyn is the “Perfect Ten”, isn’t she?West: Maybe a conflict of interest in that camp. And now she’s got Logan up and is tagging Washington back in.Robina Hood drives knees into Logan’s abdomen as she backs him into her corner and tags in Washington-- but Logan fires back, hitting Washington with a back elbow as he climbs into the ring. He then grabs Robina and launches her over the top rope by the hair. He swings at Kaylyn, but she hops down from the apron! Logan is rolled up from behind in a Schoolboy! Harris: Washington with the roll-up!1 . . . . 2 . . . . The crowd roars as Niobe Martin runs into the ring, diving to hit a forearm that forces Washington off of Logan! West: And Niobe returns the favor from earlier! She and Logan are holding their own in this two-on-three Handicap match!Logan crawls to his corner and is able to tag Niobe back in as Washington gets to his feet, holding his head. Niobe runs at him for a Hurricanrana, but Washington counters with a Powerbomb! Niobe holds the back of her head and Overdrive’s newest talent grabs her, lifting her up from behind and hits a German Suplex! He goes for a second-- but Niobe counters, flipping over his shoulders and landing down behind him! She shoves Washington face-first into a neutral corner and hits a Discus Back Elbow to the back of his head! Washington goes limp and falls backwards to the mat. Niobe hooks the leg! 1 . . . . 2 . . . This time, it’s Kaylyn James Evans who breaks up the pin with a boot to the back of Niobe’s head! The crowd responds with boos and KJE waves them off. She drags Washington to her corner, despite the referee’s scolding, and tags herself in. She turns and says something to Robina Hood which gets Robina to glare at her. Kaylyn turns back to Niobe-- but she gets a kick to the gut instead! Niobe shoots the ropes behind her and comes back, hitting a Rolling Snapmare! She then gets up again, hitting the ropes in front of Kaylyn and nails a low Shining Wizard! She lands on top of her for a pin! West: BEAUTIFUL Wizard by Niobe Martin! Can she win it for her team?!1 . . . . 2 . . . . Kickout! Harris: Nope! Not yet, anyway. I told you, Kaylyn is THE PERFECT TEN! Who else can leave Logan laid out like that?Niobe crawls off of Kaylyn and goes toward the turnbuckles. She climbs up to the top and dives off for a Corkscrew Moonsault-- but Kaylyn gets her knees up! Niobe rolls off in pain and Kaylyn groggily climbs to her feet, eventually scooping Niobe Martin up for a Spinning Sit-Out Spinebuster! She glares up at Logan with a sinister smile and signals for the end, lifting Niobe up from behind in a Full Nelson. West: Kaylyn’s going for the KY Bomb!Niobe counters, fighting out of it with an Arm Drag! She gets to her feet and runs at Kaylyn for a Clothesline, but KJE hits her with a Spear! Niobe is nearly folded inside-out from the move and Kaylyn groans, sitting in the corner, glaring at her. She measures her and then lifts her up, nailing a Powerbomb! Kaylyn then climbs to the top turnbuckle, but Logan runs across the apron, threatening to shove her! Kaylyn screams for the ref to do something, pointing at Logan. The referee warns Logan to move back-- and Logan does, raising both hands... But Niobe hops up onto the top rope and nails a Super Frankensteiner, planting KJE in the middle of the ring! Both women lie on the canvas in pain. West: And this could be the turning point!Harris: That was insane!Hood, Washington, and Logan all beg for tags... However, the crowd soon begins to boo loudly as our cameras turn to ringside. West: It’s Sienna Harrison! Why is she here?!Logan stares at Sienna from his corner on the apron on the far side of the ring, but Sienna ignores him. She nudges Robina Hood and Hood drops down from the apron. The two speak in whispers and our cameras return to ringside where Niobe finally reaches her corner, tagging in Logan, while KJE reaches hers, tagging in Anthony Washington! West: Tags!Logan and Anthony both charge into the ring. Anthony charges at Logan-- right into a Reverse STO, known as the Chaotic Impact! Anthony clutches his face, rolling to his stomach and up to his knees. Logan turns as KJE tries to charge at him from behind-- but he catches her with a kick to the stomach, followed by the Lifting Inverted DDT! Niobe Martin scoops Kaylyn up and tosses her out of the ring over the middle rope to the crowd’s delight, before making her way back to her corner. Harris: Logan just hit Kaylyn with the Chaotic Shockwave!West: A SMALL taste of revenge!Harris: Sienna Harrison and her “Perfect” Megastar are leaving!Sienna whispers something into Kaylyn’s ear as Kaylyn lies on the ground. She places a hand on KJE’s shoulder, looking up at Logan as she finishes her sentence, and then stands, walking arm-in-arm with Robina Hood up the ramp and to the back. West: Where is she going with Robina? This match isn’t over!Logan stalks Anthony Washington-- and then lifts him onto his shoulders, hitting a Death Valley Driver! West: And BOOM! The Chaotic Finale!Logan locks Anthony in the half-turned Sharpshooter-- the Perfect Chaos Theory! After a few seconds, Washington is forced to tap, and Logan releases the hold. WINNERS: Logan Alexander & Niobe “Nightmare” MartinNiobe and Logan exchange a handshake and the referee raises both of their hands while Logan’s music hits the PA system. : Logan! Logan...The crowd erupts into boos as Logan’s music is interrupted after merely three seconds and the Meltdown General Manager, Alexander Duvall appears on-screen, grinning. Duvall: Logan... Congratulations. You leave Meltdown with a win. You leave Meltdown with-- with your head held high, don’t you? You leave Meltdown for Asylum tonight. But the bottom line is... You leave. So goodnight, Logan. Congratulations. You have OFFICIALLY been drafted to Asylum.The crowd roars at the response but Logan, breathing heavily stares up at Duvall. He motions to someone off-camera for something, and seconds later, Niobe Martin returns, handing Logan a microphone. LA: "Boss wait! That's not quite accurate. You're not going to be free of me just yet. So long as you have a tag team division... you know I'll be back."He looks towards the tron as the crowd starts cheering loudly for him. LA: "Enjoy whatever piece of mind you can while I'm gone."He lowers the mic and smirks up at the tron. Duvall sighs and grins, slightly. Duvall: Oh-- Logan. You aren’t going to Asylum alone. Asylum’s newest draftee is right behind you.The crowd boos and Logan turns as Kaylyn James Evans charges Logan, attempting to strike him with his Tag Team Championship-- but he ducks! KJE drops the title and turns. Logan goes for his cutter, the Stryke Force! Harris: Ahh--!KJE drops to the mat and rolls out of the mat and out of harm’s way. She laughs to herself before pivoting and strutting up the ramp, not even shooting a look back at Logan as she leaves. West: Kaylyn James Evans is going to Asylum!Harris: I can’t believe it! Christian Kane, Kaylyn James Evans, and M&M all on the show?!We fade to black on Logan’s smirk in the ring. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* |

As we return from commercial break, we open to a tout, and we see the bearded mug of “The Soul of Philly” TJ. TJ: WHOA! The Canadian Sensation Christian Kane is coming to Asylum? We got competition, talent, and now? Sex addicted arrogance. That people is the pro wrestling trinity. Welcome CK.The live Chicago crowd cheers for TJ as the Tout goes off the air. West: A... Well, a somewhat warm welcome to Asylum from "The Soul of Philly", the Tap-Out Champion, TJ!Harris: Kane! Kane! Kane!West: Also, some breaking news, folks-- log onto ActionPackedWrestling.com tomorrow at 7 AM Eastern on the dot to find out WHO is being drafted to Monday Night Meltdown! It's a former champion, Dick!The scene opens backstage. There are a group of the APW crew standing in a circle, laughing boisterously, with much back patting and the signs of simple male camaraderie. Taking centre stage for this audience is none other than The Guv’nor, no doubt rallying the lads with one or two raucous stories from his colourful life. Suddenly the party’s casual, boyish air ends as co-GM Alexander Duvall strolls past. Duvall: What it this – a union meeting? I’m sure there are jobs you slackers could be doing. We’re in the middle of a live show after all.The Guv’nor steps through the circle. Guv’nor: Go easy, bruv; the lads are just taking five. Duvall shakes his and walks over to a nearby coffee machine. As it dispenses its goods we can see The Guv’nor whispering mischievously to his congregation, amid a few stifled chuckles. As Duvall comes back they all straighten up again, but The Guv’nor sticks a foot out as Duvall walks past, causing the co-GM to trip forward and spill his coffee all over the shop. Duvall: What the-? Who did that? Which one of you morons am I about to fire? The Guv’nor steps forward. Guv’nor: Sorry chief, didn’t see you coming there. My apologies humbly and honestly given. Duvall: So you think you’re a wiseguy, huh? Real funny – want to play the comedian with your buddies here. Gu’vnor throws his arms up, a gesture protesting his innocence. Guv’nor: Leave it out, mate. Accidents happen, no harm done. Duvall: Except you’ve ruined this suit, and that coffee cost me money. Guv’nor: (with a laugh) What, like, twenty-five cents yeah. The Guv'nor looks over at the crew and chuckles. Duvall: We’ll see who’s laughing when I dock your pay. Guv’nor: Whoa! Put down that gun mate, wouldn’t want you to shoot anyone with that itchy trigger finger. But I’ll save you the aggro, bruv. The Guv’nor reaches into his pocket and pulls out a $1 bill. Guv’nor: Here you go, there’s a little extra for compo like. Go buy yourself something nice with the change. The crew all chuckle. Duvall: Funny, ha! Well, here’s one for you: since you’ve got nothing better to do than play practical jokes, maybe I need to up your work load. Guv’nor: Sounds good to me. To be honest, I was beginning to wonder when I get to crack a few more heads around here. Duvall: So next week, it’s you, Mr. Guv’nor, in a tag team match against two of the best Meltdown has to offer. Guv’nor: Two-on-one? That sounds more like a handicap match to me, but I’ve faced worse odds. Duvall: Oh you’ll have a partner. Maybe you’ve heard of him....Mr. Dangerous. Guv’nor: Can’t say I have, sounds like a right ard case. Duvall: Oh yeah, he’s a real tough nut. I’m sure you’ll get on just, well, smashing. Good luck stud! Duvall laughs to himself, believing he has got his own back on The Guv’nor by placing him in this predicament. The scene fades back to ringside. We return to ringside. Paige: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is OUR MAAAAAIN EVENT, for the APW North American Championship!SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAME
DARLING YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME! The guitars and drums of the timeless Bon Jovi classic kick in throughout the arena as Christian Kane, though showing obvious pains from battle, makes his way through the curtain and onto the stage, his two strippers in tow. Red and white lights focus on the Canadian Sensation and flash rapidly, drawing attention to him with the lights illuminating his body. Paige: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds... "The Canadian Sensation" CHRISTIAN KANE!Grabbing his girls by the hair Kane tells the camera to ‘watch this’ before engaging a three way French kiss with his strippers. This lasts for 3 or 4 seconds before Kane lets go of the girls and pushes them aside, beginning to strut down the ramp as he slicks back his hair. He stops at ringside, looking around the arena with a smirk on his face which quickly turns to disgusted scowl as fans let Kane know exactly what they think of him. West: Christian Kane was drafted to Asylum earlier tonight and he had a lot to say-- and Young Mannie, with the help of Kane's tag team partner, Kaylyn James Evans-- retained the North American Title in a Cage match against Amy Zing!Harris: And it brings us here, Shane-O, to our main event! Is Kane gonna take the North American Title with him to Asylum?As the music continues to play, Kane waves a dismissive hand and makes his way around to the left side of the ring, walks up the steel steps then climbs the turnbuckle. With one foot on the top turnbuckle and one on the second rope, Kane holds his arms out to his side again and tenses his muscles, inciting an extremely loud negative reaction from the audience in attendance once more. With a smug look on his face, Kane now hops off the turnbuckle and into the ring, though winces a bit, showing the effects from earlier as he does. West: This kid is capable of anything. He could put Mannie down tonight. Both of these guys are in for a hell of a fight.Walking across the ring the Canadian Sensation jumps on the second rope, posing again as jeers from the die-hard APW faithful are mixed among high pitched cheers from the females in attendance, most notably Kane’s girls. As the music slowly fades, Kane hops off the turnbuckle and walks to his corner, preparing for the match ahead.
Nicky Page: And the opponent! On the way to the ring, he hails from The Commonwealth Of Virginia and weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds… He is the current APW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIIIONNNN... ‘THE MAIN ATTRACTION’ YOUNG MANNIE!
The beginning of "Another Way" airs through the P.A. system building anticipation, As Mannie emerges to a wave of boos, He is lead to the ring by Uncle Charlie & Alec Quartermain. Mannie gingerly walks down the ramp with his entire glowing in the dark sweatsuit soaking in the hate, As a custom Dark-Orchid colored stairwell which reads "The-Main-Attraction" is placed in front of the middle apron. Mannie moves, in pain, up the steps, While the cameraman sits on the middle rope before Mannie enters the ring. Mannie proceeds to remove his sweatsuit. Main Event - APW North American Championship

West: Where the hell is Young Mannie going?!
Harris: He’s done! He’s had enough of Christian Kane! He’s headed for the hills!
“Endless Possibility” hits the PA system and the crowd erupts, rising to their feet. Mannie’s eyes widen and he stops halfway up the ramp as Logan Alexander makes his way out from behind the curtains, making a beeline toward Mannie, nothing but intensity in his eyes. Mannie hugs the title tighter and backs up, away from Logan.
West: Not if Logan can help it! Logan is chasing Mannie right back into the ring!
The crowd roars as Logan makes chase. He nearly catches Mannie, but Mannie slips into the ring beneath the bottom rope...
...And Christian Kane charges at him for the Super Sexy Kick!
Harris: SSK!
Mannie dives out of the way at just the right moment, lunging into the ropes. Christian Kane stumbles forward a few steps and Mannie catches him from behind, leaping into the air to nail the Snap Falling Neckbreaker, the Fatal Attraction! He covers Christian Kane!
West: FATAL ATTRACTION OUT OF NOWHERE!
