SHOCKWAVE 2010

[President Jeff]

APW Shockwave 2010 opens up with an intro video with the music, “Highway to Hell” By AC/DC playing. The video features all the APW Megastars and the feuds leading up to the matches tonight. As the video ends, Pyro shoots from the top of the stage and then all the way down the ramp. Fans jump in excitement as “Highway to Hell” continues to play as the camera’s pan through the sold out Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Fans are holding up their signs. Some read “Sally the next APW Champion” “The Axis of Suckieness” and “Merry Me Leila”. The camera then goes to ringside for our commentating team. Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase

Harvey: WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE 2010 SHOCKWAVE!

Chase: I’m Johnny Chase along with my partner in crime, Darren Harvey and tonight folks, is the biggest APW Show of the summer.

Harvey: We have 8 action packed matches lined up tonight. Including 4. That’s right folks, 4 Title matches.

Chase: That’s right Darren. The return of the APW Tag Team Title. We will crown a new tag team champion right here tonight!

Harvey: Also on the card, we will see Shaun Kilgore defend his title against Bryan Payne.

Chase: Also for the Xtreme Title, Crazy Joe defends against Victor Hades!

Harvey: But the match everyone is waiting for. The Main event. We will see the champion, Level One defend his title against the 2010 Test for the Best winner, Sally Talfourd. Can Sally make history and become the very first Women to hold the APW Heavyweight Title.

Chase: I don’t think so. Level One is the best for a reason and he will continue to be the best.

Harvey: We’ll see by the end of tonight. But first, Lets go to the ring where Tony Ferrari is standing to introduce the opening contest.

The camera goes to the ring where Tony Ferrari is standing wearing a suit.


Ferrari: The opening contest is the Fatal Fourway Tag Team Match, and is for the APW Tag Team Championship!

The fans cheer loudly at the announcement, but the cheers turn to boos as Muse's “Uprising” hits the speakers. The lights in the arena flash blue and orange alternately as smoke begins to form on the stage. After a few moments, Chris Cyrus, Biggs, and Ellie can be seen being raised up from a platform beneath the stage. The trio are all dressed in gold outfits, although each has their signature colors as accents on said outfit, Cyrus with orange, Biggs with blue, and Ellie with purple. As the platform comes to a stop, fireworks shoot from the stage as two large banners showing the Axis of Awesome logo unfurl on either side of the stage. The Axis then begins to make their way down the ramp.

Ferrari: Making their way to the ring first, accompanied by Ellie, weighing in at combined weight of 457 pounds, Chris Cyrus and Biggs, The Axis of Awesome!

Harvey: We're starting Shockwave off with a jolt, as the recently resurrected APW Tag Team Titles are up for grabs in this Fatal Fourway Contest! Now the rules are simple, two men will be in the ring at any given time, and can tag in and out with whomever they please. The match ends on a pinfall or submission!

The Axis of Awesome taunts the fans as they head towards the ring. Once they reach it, Biggs holds the ropes open for Ellie, and once she's in, Biggs and Cyrus slingshot themselves over the ropes into the ring in unison. They head to the center of the ring, where Ellie removes both of their ring jackets, and gives Biggs a peck on the cheek. The lights come back up.

"Ecstasy of Gold" hits over the loudspeakers, and the fans rise to their feet, booing the Sports Nutz out of the building. "The Excellent Gordie" Gordon Heath leads George Dunpork and Craig "Senior" Mueller out to the ring, with George and Craig looking ever so ridiculous in their entrance attire, with George wearing a Dallas Cowboys football helmet, but with a red circle and slash over the star, and Craig wearing hockey helmet with a visor and a black San Antonio Spurs basketball warm-up suit, with the Ghostbusters style circle slash through the Spurs logo. Both members of the Nutz, as well as Gordie, are sporting black armbands that read “AKBAR.”

Ferrari: And their opponents, first, accompanied by “The Excellent Gordie” Gordon Heath, at a combined weight of 549 pounds, George Dunpork and Craig “Senior” Mueller, The Sports Nutz!

Chase: If you notice, the Sports Nutz are both wearing black armbands in tribute to the man who trained them, Skandor Akbar, who unfortunately passed away recently! They're dedicating this match to his memory!

George and Craig are carrying open bags of peanuts with them. As they walk down to the ring, they take continuously take the peanuts out of the bag, hurling them at the fans at ringside.

“Forever,” by Drake, hits, as pyro falls from the ceiling in front of the entrance. J.R. Kingston and Young Mannie step through the fireworks, Kingston with a bandana covering his face, and Mannie with a blunt behind his ear. Both are as cocky as can be as Damien Walker follows them to the ring. Mannie is cursing at the fans while Kingston flashes the middle finger to the booing fans.

Ferrari: And their opponents, accompanied by Damien Walker, weighing in at a combined weight of 450 pounds, “Mr. 420” Young Mannie and “The Kingpin” J.R. Kingston, The Red Shield Mafia!

Harvey: You got to think that The Red Shield Mafia and Sports Nutz have an advantage here tonight considering their alliance, however, we'll see just how strong that alliance is when there's gold on the line!

When they reach the ring, Kingston slides in beneath the ropes and begins to shadow box in the corner, while Mannie sticks his arms out, prompting the fans to look at him and consider his greatness. Walker smiles weaselly from the outside.

The arena lights dim as we see green and blue strobe lights flashing around the arena while "Dragula" plays as the titan tron lights up showing the AKA logo as we see Slade Craven & Assassin make there way through the curtain. Both men slowly stroll through the curtain with Slade leading the way as he's wearing his black jacket and sunglasses while Assassin has on an AKA t-shirt.

Ferrari: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 500 pounds, Slade Craven and Assassin, The Ass Kickers Anonymous!

Harvey: Just listen to these fans go crazy! There's no doubt that the AKA is the crowd's choice here tonight!

Chase: They have the huge task of overcoming not just their long time enemies the Axis of Awesome, but also the super faction of The Greatness and The Red Shield Mafia!

Both men stand at the top of the ramp and look at each other before walking down the ramp as "Dragula" continues. Slade walks down the ramp shaking hands with several of the fans while Assassin does the same. Both men reach the bottom of the ramp as Slade walks around one side of the ring and Assassin walks around the other. Both men walk halfway around the ring and climb onto the apron as they step through the ropes into the ring as Slade runs and climbs on the near by turnbuckle posing as he removes his sunglasses while Assassin removes his t-shirt tossing it out into the crowd. The ref directs all four teams to their corners, but there's some protest from The Axis and AKA as the ref has The RSM and Sports Nutz placed in adjacent corners! Biggs yells at the ref to change that up, so the ref obliges, forcing the Nutz to move the corner opposite of the RSM. George Dunpork and Assassin are in the ring as the ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

Red Shield Mafia vs. The Sports Nutz vs. The Ass Kickers Anonymous vs. The Axis of Awesome
Tag Team Title Match

The fans are loudly chanting “AKA! AKA!” as Assassin and Dunpork tie up in the middle of the ring! Assassin uses his strength to shove the portly Dunpork to the mat, and as Dunpork gets back up to his feet, Assassin rushes in and takes him down with a Clothesline! Dunpork is back up to his feet quickly, but gets a vicious DDT for his troubles! Assassin then proceeds to stomp the oversized Mega Star, before pulling Dunpork up by the head and dragging him to the AKA's corner, bouncing Dunpork's face off the turnbuckle before tagging in Slade! Assassin twists the arm of Dunpork as Slade climbs to the top rope and leaps off, nailing Dunpork with a Double Axe Handle to the elbow joint! The big man shakes his arm in pain as Slade runs to the ropes, but gets hit from behind by Young Mannie with a hard punch to the back of the head! As Slade doubles over, holding his head in pain, Dunpork grabs him up and drives him into he mat with a Running Powerslam! Dunpork goes for the first cover of the match, but doesn't even get a one count! The fans are cheering for Slade, who's slowly making his way up to his feet. Dunpork motions for Slade to get up, and as “The Main Man” does, Dunpork grabs a hold of his head and gives him the Big Headbutt, sending Slade back to the mat! Dunpork then jumps up and nails a huge Standing Body Splash, pinning Slade

Assassin breaks the count!

Harvey: In these Fatal Fourway tag matches, you really have to have eyes on the back of your head! Any other person can come in to break the count, so not only do you have to work at wearing down an opponent, you have to worry about five other guys coming in to break the count at any other moment!

Chase: Yeah! Dunpork's not going to win this one that easy!

The ref directs Assassin back to his corner as Dunpork whips Slade to the Sports Nutz's corner. Gordon Heath hops up on the apron for no reason other than to distract the ref while Mueller wraps the tag rope around the throat of Slade, while Dunpork grabs a hold of the ropes and proceeds to kick the living tar out of Slade's midsection! The fans are in an uproar, and Heath gets off the apron after about 10 seconds. At this point, Mueller lets go of the choke hold, and Slade falls to a seated position in the corner. Dunpork has a huge grin on his face as he slaps his own butt, turning it towards Slade and giving him a massive Stink Face! The fans are pissed as “The Main Man” suffers the indignity of the move! Mueller makes the blind tag as George continues to rub his butt across the face of Slade! As Mueller steps into the ring, George relents and steps out onto the apron, allowing Mueller to grabs a hold of the top rope and stomp Slade in the corner mercilessly! After about half a dozen stomps, he grabs Slade by the head, pulls him in and hooks up with a T-Bone Suplex! Mueller has Slade in his corner as he hooks both legs

Slade kicks out!

Harvey: The Sports Nutz have just been targeting Slade here, trying to isolate him in their corner, while staying away from the other two corners! Still, considering the heart Slade show's week in and week out, one has to wonder how long the Nutz can maintain this strategy!

Chase: You can see the frustration mounting on the faces of both the Axis of Awesome, as well as the Red Shield Mafia, as both teams want in this contest!

Mueller drags Slade back up by the head, shooting him towards the ropes, but Slade reverses the Irish Whip, sending Mueller to the ropes instead! On the rebound, Slade launches Mueller with a Back Body Drop, and Mueller lands hard on the mat! He's disoriented a bit, and rolls towards the Red Shield Mafia's corner, where Young Mannie reaches over the ropes and slaps Mueller on the back, tagging himself in! Mueller gives Mannie a dirty look as Mr. 420 enters the ring, but Mannie ignores it, rushing in to attack Slade! The two men trade fists in the middle of the ring back and forth until Mannie gets in a cheap shot kick to the knee, bringing Slade down to one knee! Mannie runs to the ropes and nails Slade in the face with The Shotgun Dropkick, and follows up with a Standing Moonsault onto Slade! Rather than going for the cover, Mannie pulls Slade up and drags him to his corner, ramming his head into the turnbuckle a couple of times! Slade falls backwards to the mat as Mannie tags in J.R. Kingston! The Kingpin lifts up his partner into a Gorilla Press position, and drops him down onto Slade for a huge Body Splash! Mannie then exits the ring as Kingston pulls Slade up and gets him in a Side Headlock before drilling him in the top of the head with a flurry of Hard Punches! He then releases the Headlock and wraps his hand around the throat of Slade, giving him the Choke Breaker (Chokeslam into a Backbreaker across the knee)! As Slade is laid out on the mat, Kingston turns him over onto his belly, grabs a hold of both arms in a Surfboard-like fashion, and places his boot on the back of Slade's head, giving him a nasty Curb Stomp! He then rolls Slade over onto his back, and goes for a pin

Slade gets the shoulder up!

Chase: Slade has really taken a beating this match! He needs to find a way to tag out and fast!

Harvey: The problem with that is that it would be ideal for him to get to his corner, but that's unlikely! If he tags anyone else in, his team may not get tagged back into the match!

Kingston retains control, pulling Slade back up to his feet and whipping him hard into the corner! He then unloads with a series of Rapid Knife Edged Chops before tagging in Mannie! Kingston lifts Slade up into a Gorilla Press as Mannie climbs to the top rope and as Kingston drops Slade to the mat, Mannie jumps off and connects with a Double Foot Stomp to the back! The fans are pissed as Mannie goes for another cover

Biggs and Mueller both break the count! The ref goes to direct Biggs back to his corner, and Mannie pops right up to his feet, getting in the face of Mueller! Both men are yelling and shouting at each other, and Mannie gives Mueller a hard shove! Mueller responds with a shove of his own! Things quickly escalate to an all out fist fight between the two, and Dunpork and Kingston enter the ring as well, going at it!

Harvey: The Super Faction is imploding! Mannie is pissed that Mueller saved the match for everyone else, and now both the RSM and The Sports Nutz are going at it tooth and nail!

Chase: This may be Slade's best chance to tag out of this match!

The ref is trying his darnedist to regain order in the match, and while the Super Faction is imploding, Slade slowly makes his way to his team's corner! Assassin is on the apron, hand reached out while he slaps the top turnbuckle with his other hand, leading the fans to clap to try and will Slade on! The Red Shield Mafia and The Sports Nutz are too distracted with one another to notice what's going on, and Slade makes the hot tag! The fans cheer as Assassin is in like a man on fire, and he quickly rushes in the fracas, bowling Mannie and Mueller over as he charges into J.R. Kingston! He grabs a hold of Kingston's head and tosses him through the ropes before giving Dunpork a hard kick to the gut and grabbing him by the head and trunks, and tossing him through the ropes as well! By this point, Mueller is back up to his feet and nails Assassin with a Forearm Shot to the Nuts, bringing Assassin down to his knees! Slade rushes back into the ring, and takes Mueller and himself over the ropes and to the floor with a Running Crossbody! By this point, Dunpork and Kingston are both up on the outside and begin to brawl! Damien Walker and Gordon Heath are trying to get their boys to stop fighting one another, but to no avail, as Dunpork throws an errant blow that misses Kingston and clocks Walker on the chin, taking him down! Mannie is disoriented and stumbles over to the Axis' corner, where Cyrus reaches over and tags himself in! Biggs enters the ring as well, and the two men give Mannie an Irish Whip, and Double Back Body Drop him over the ropes and into the brawling Dunpork and Kingston! Cyrus then grabs Assassin up and delivers the Straight to Hell while Biggs climbs the turnbuckle and leaps off for a UFO Frog Splash! Biggs then heads to the ropes and slings himself over into a Slingshot Plancha into the heap of men on the outside, but Dunpork sees him coming, and gets out of the way! In the ring, Cyrus goes for the cover

Winners and the new APW Tag Team Champions: The Sports Nutz

Ferrari: Here are your winners and the new APW Tag Team Champions, George Dunpork and Craig Mueller, The Sports Nutz!

Mueller and Heath both enter the ring and all three men stand proud as the ref hands Mueller and Dunpork the belts. They raise their belts high in the air as the fans boo! The Red Shield Mafia glares at The Sports Nutz from outside the ring as Biggs, Cyrus, and Ellie head up the ramp dejected. Slade drags Assassin from out of the ring, and helps him up the ramp.

Chase: They did it! The Sports Nutz paid great tribute to Akbar by winning the belts for their deceased trainer!

Harvey: They picked their spots, controlled much of the match, and ended up leaving Shockwave with the belts! Congrats to the Sports Nutz! What a start to Shockwave! It might not have been the longest match, but by golly was it action packed!

Chase: That's the nature of these Fatal Fourway Matches! Either it's a war of attrition that takes forever, or it's over at the first opportunity!

Harvey: We'll have to see what effect the outcome of this match has on alliance between the Red Shield Mafia and The Greatness!

The Sports Nutz continue to celebrate in the ring, going to either corner and raising their belts high in the air!


The scene cuts to the backstage area where Shane West is standing inside the locker room area. He is smiling into the camera as he is given his cue.

West: Ladies and gentleman, I am here in the locker room of the Chosen One, Cooper Conrad. Cooper has surrounded himself with family and friends tonight, to ensure that Nathaniel Havok doesn’t pull off any of his shenanigans before their match this evening.

The cameras zoom out and away from West, to see Conrad taping up his fists. Sitting next to him are 6 men, all of them looking like they are straight out of a Tupac music video.

West: Cooper, is this kind of protection really necessary?

Conrad stands from the bench.

Conrad: What in the hell are you talking about, Shane? What exactly are you trying to say? What? A few gang-banging thugs out of the hood, and you’re scared? What? Are you a racist, West? Are you?

West: No, no I’m not. I’m sorry. It’s just, not my type of crowd, I apologize.

Conrad: You’re damn right this isn’t your type of crowd, if you’re not careful, you might leave without your wallet! But as far as this being necessary, of course it is! You think that I’m going to let Nathaniel Havok come after me again? No! Hell no! Nathaniel Havok ties something, and Nathaniel Havok will get a beat down! Plain and simple! My boys got my back, and you can consider me untouchable until I hit that ring tonight, then I’m going to be unstoppable!

West: I see that even though he has gotten the better of you the past couple of weeks, your confidence has not diminished in the slightest.

Conrad: Why would it, Shane? Why would it? What? You think that since all he can do is attack me from behind and while the lights are out, that I am going to be afraid of him? Wait until we get into the ring one on one, and the bell rings to start the match! What’s he going to be able to do against a fresh Cooper Conrad face to face? Nothing!

West: So you’re pretty confident you’ll be walking out of the pay per view victorious?

Conrad: And partying all night long, as only I can do!

West: You heard it here!

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage in the locker room of C.J. Gates where we see Gates himself dressed in his wrestling gear, pacing in his locker room. He shakes his head, and in the background, we can see Vincent James sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper.

Vincent James: Calm down, man, take it easy.

C.J. Gates: How can I? I'm going up against two guys, one who finds me to be a spoiled rich boy, and the other just wants to separate my head from my body. And you want me to calm down?

Vincent James: Yeah. Don't kill yourself before the match. Then what would John Green have to do.

Gates stops pacing and turns to face James.

C.J. Gates: Not funny man.

James chuckles to himself.

Vincent James: Alright, alright. Here, what we'll do, is we'll just pay off the executives to get the ref to fast count on your first pin attempt.

C.J. Gates: I don't want to bribe anyone, I want to cut myself away from the money thing.

Vincent James: Okay...then lets go lock their locker doors from the outside so they can't get out.

C.J. Gates: Dishonorable.

James shakes his head and lowers his paper.

Vincent James: Man what do you want? You want to win this thing, but you don't want to guarantee a win.

C.J. Gates: I want to win, but I don't want to cheat. That wouldn't be fair to my opponents and my fans.

Vincent James: That's not what you used to say. You used to be all about cheating people out of stuff that's rightfully theirs.

C.J. Gates: And look what that got me. My business partners ended up falling off the face of the Earth, leaving me with the honor of running that place all by myself until it closed.

Vincent James: So you're a failure?

C.J. Gates: No! Just..

Gates shakes his head.

C.J. Gates: Consider APW a whole new leaf that I am turning over. A whole new start. But I'm still going to have fun while I do what I need to do. I'm still going to give the fans what they paid to see, and that is C.J. Gates lighting up the night.

Vincent James: Fair enough. When's your match?

C.J. Gates: Soon I think.

James nods his head and raises the paper back up.

C.J. Gates: Have you heard from Vivian?

Vincent James: Why would I hear from your interior decorator?

C.J. Gates: No reason. Just wondering. Haven't heard from her in awhile.

Vincent James: I still don't know why you got a decorator. My wife could have done that for half the price.

The scene cuts to ringside.


Tony: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

"Fuel" by Metallica hits the speakers. Branden Harvey makes his way to the ring.

Tony: From Sacramento California, weighing in at 140 pounds, Branden Harvey!

He gets on the middle turnbuckle, feigns to lift his arms in the air, before spitting on the nearest fan. He then backflips off the turnbuckle. "Can any of you do that," he screams. "I didn't think so." He awaits his opponent.

Tony: And his opponent

Winner: Diamante Valentine

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

Harvey: Is this Diamante’s first win in APW.

Chase: I think so.

Diamante gets to his feet and Damien goes over and pushes the ref out of the way and raises Diamante’s hand in victory. The pair celebrates as we cut backstage

The scene cuts backstage where we see Shane West walking around. He seems to be on the hunt for someone, but isn’t having any luck. All of the sudden, Shane finds his target.

West: Excuse me, Nathaniel Havok! May I have a quick word?

Nathaniel slowly turns around rolling his eyes in the process.

Havok: Shane, I am a very busy man. What do you want?

Shane looks around confused.

West: But, you’re not doing anything.

Havok: What? You think that I leave my throne to come lay waste to Cooper Conrad tonight, and I’m not going to keep tabs on my kingdom?

Shane looks at Nathaniel with a smirk on his face.

West: Okay, I get it. It’s all apart of the act. Anyways, I’ll play along. Well, I spoke with Conrad earlier…

Havok cuts him off.

Havok: I heard what Conrad had to say, and to tell you the truth, he should go into comedy after I end his career tonight, because that shit was pretty funny. But if indeed he did mean for people to take him serious, I have this to say.

Havok looks into the camera.

Havok: Cooper Conrad, I always say what I mean. But don’t flatter yourself! You’re not the only reason that I came to APW! You might have been about one percent! The only thing is, I do business before I do pleasure. Running through APW is going to be full of pleasure all in itself, but I will take care of my small piece of business first! Although, ending your career is going to be a pleasure as well. Go ahead, hide behind your homeboys until the time comes for you to face your judgment tonight, I could really care less! But be warned, if any of your boys get in my way, they will suffer a worse fate than you! Don’t come to the house of Havok, and not expect to play boys!

West: Well, Mr. Satan… Do you mind if I call you Mr. Satan?

Havok: I would watch your tongue if I were you, Shane West! Satan was a crock! I guess you people don’t get the news up here, Satan hasn’t been the leader of the Underworld for over 1500 years! He was overthrown, it’s the natural order of things. Laugh it up all you want to, make all the fun of it you want, because the fact of the matter is that you don’t believe, because you don’t want to! My world is real, very real! This isn’t some fairy tale that I’ve brought into APW, I would love for someone to step inside of my shoes for one day! Being the Source of all Evil is a strenuous task, something that no simple-minded mortal like yourself could comprehend!

West: Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.

Havok: No, you didn’t offend me. You did what every other mortal human being does, you proved to me your stupidity. But as far as tonight goes, I will do exactly what I said I was going to do! Cooper Conrad will not be walking out of this arena under his own power tonight, that, I is a promise that I will keep! Cooper, your ass is mine. I hope you had fun in this business while it lasted, and if you need some help with the comedy gig, I’m the man you call. But remember, after I end your career tonight, what can happen when you make a deal with the Devil. Havok has spoken.

Nathaniel walks away leaving Shane West alone. The cameras then go back to ringside.

[President Jeff]

Tony: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a triple threat match!

“Shooting Star” by Black Stone Cherry begins to play as C.J. Gates quickly makes his way out of the back wearing his trademark cowboy hat and “Go Big or Go Home” T-shirt. He bounces around at the entrance a bit before moving towards the ring, bouncing to the beat.

Tony: Introducing first, From Fargo North Dakota. C…J…..GATES!

Gates reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope before springing to his feet, climbing the nearest turnbuckle and raising his arms in the air. He climbs back down and removes his cowboy hat and carefully hands it off, before removing his t-shirt.

"Rise to it" by Kiss begins to play over the PA system; the crowd are starting to go a bit nuts as they know what is coming. The lights are beginning to flicker on and off as Blade bursts out from behind the curtains and onto the ramp.

Tony: And his opponent, from Manchester England….BLADE!

Steadily strutting towards the ring he catches the attention of some girls in the crowd, he gives them a wink before hoisting himself upon to the ring. Shaking the referees hand his throws his arms up int he air taking a loud cheer with him as he does.

"King Nothing" by Metallica blasts through the P.A. system and the crowd hits their feet as they await for The Retribution Killer. As the heavy metal guitar solo comes to an end out comes John comes out wearing his normal wrestling attire with his "The Retribution Killer" shirt on. He smiles as he stands in front of the entrance ramp and does his trademarked "Retribution" pose and sparks and fireworks shoot into the air immediately.

Tony: And finally, from Atlanta Georgia. JOHN….GREEEEEN!

John walks down the ramp with a smile on his face as he slaps some of the hands of fans as he walks past them. Before entering the ring he stops in front of the squared circle looking into the ring and lets out a grin before sliding into the ring and standing in the middle of it. Green closes his eyes and takes a huge breath before running to the ropes and shaking the top one forcefully. He then lets out a monsterous roar and beats his chest. He walks to the turnbuckle and climbs them to the second rope and points to himself and then once again does his trademarked "Retribution" pose. John hops off and takes off his shirt and throws it into the crowd. His music fades out as he awaits for the bell to ring.

Triple Threat Match
C.J Gates Vs John Green Vs Blade


As the bell rings John Green rushes across the ring tackling Blade with a Lou Thez press. His fist begin pounding away at the face of his opponent as C.J. Gates kind of leans against the ropes yawning as the assault happens by his feet. Gates then stands upright dusting off his hands and drives his boot into the temple of Green. This show of malice sends Green sideways to the mat, and Gates offers up a face stomp to Blade showing he is an equal opportunity punishment dispenser. Green springs to his feet and becomes engaged in a fist for fist exchange with Gates. The fans are riveted as Blade shakes off the cob webs of the initial beating he opened the match with. The man sees the action backs up to the ropes getting some momentum, springs off and heads for his two opponents who at the moment are too busy to see the freight train of Blade heading their direction. Just before impact both men break from their fist fight and turn toward Blade. He levels both men with a double running clothesline. He quickly drops a leg drop across Greens throat, then follows it up with an elbow drop to Gates making everything even as well. Green stagers up to his knees and has his head damn near taken off with a whipping sidekick that echoes through the arena creating a huge pop from the crowd. The former world champion hits the mat face first as Blade turns toward C.J. Gates who has himself risen to the occasion. Gates rushes toward Blade with a sloppy right hand, Blades ducks under as Gates follows all the way through running toward the turnbuckles. He steps up to the top like running up stairs, and then inverts himself flipping around toward Blade for a whisper in the wind. Blade steps out of harms way as Gates hits the mat backfirst. He tries to sit up instantly but eats a sitout drop kick to the face. Blade quickly makes his way to the top not wasting any time, and leaps off with his Razor Blade senton splash. He nails the finisher and hooks a leg on Gates for the cover.

Green flies over with an axe handle smash to Blades head.

Harvey: Wow, The match almost ended quick here.

Chase: In triple threat match rules, you don’t have to be pinned to lose the match.

Both Blade and Green stand up. Blade who had the upper hand tries to continue that notion with a spinning back fist attempt on the Retribution Killer. Green ducks under and hoists the man into the air, spins on his pivot foot and plants Blade back first to the canvas with an earth shattering Spine Buster. Right away Green hooks Blades right leg in a vice lock putting pressure on his knee. The ref watches on to see if Blade is going to tap but this match is far from over. Green gets shoved off with Blades other leg. The man stands up but Green plants a big right hand in his face. His wrist is clutch as Green forcefully whips him into the ropes. Blades hits the steel cables and rebounds. Green leaps into the air for a high knee to the face, but Blade spins around like a pro running back in the NFL avoiding damage. Green turns around to eat a boot to the gut, and get dropped with a neck breaker.

Harvey: Nice move by Blade.

Chase: Blade is stepping up in this match.

Just as Blades stands up from his counter he is taken almost out of his boots with a nasty spear from C.J. Gates. Gates charges toward the ropes leaps to the middle and moonsaults back onto Blade. Green tries to stand as Gates rushes over nailing him with a shinning wizard. Green eats the move with his head and falls backward through the ropes onto the floor. Gates turns around to focus on Blade who struggled to his knees. Gates quickly drapes an arm over and powers him up in a suplex stall. Gates spins around holding Blade upright, then charges forward a few step before leaping into the air. Both men crash to the mat as Gates nails a leaping brain buster. Blades head and neck hit the mat as the rest of his body flops over lifelessly to the mat. Gates covers Blade and the ref slides down by his shoulders to count.

Amazing kickout by Blade.

Harvey: I’m surprised Blades neck isn’t broken after that move.

Gates stands up almost in shock looking down at Blade still laying on his side in pain, as if it took his all to perform the kickout. Gates mouth forms the shape of a grin as he looks down at his opponent. His grin turns to shock as John Green not only slid back in the ring unknowingly but drop kicked him in the back of the head. Gates flies forward from the impact and slams down on the mat. He rolls over getting to his feet rather fast trying to defend himself by swinging a left hook. Green ducks under and counters with a full nelson, and with a pop of his hips suplexes backwards dropping Gates on his head. The crowd explodes with excitement as the impact shakes the ring with a thunderous clap. Green quickly drags the man upright and gutwrenches him up in the air. John turns around toward the middle of the ring and powerbombs Gates flat . Green falls down hooking both legs for the cover.

Blade got to his feet runs across and punts John Green's head breaking up the pin.

Chase: John may have a concussion after a kick like that. Wow!

Green falls off Gates as Blade takes a moment to clear his thoughts leaning against the ropes. C.J. Gates rolls over shaking some cobwebs off as well. Both men get to their feet and the classic stare down unfolds before the fans. Gates steps over Green and Blades walks forward and both men begin spewing trash toward one another until they arrive face to face, with noses pressed together. The tension is thick and neither one of these men have moved to make the first attack. John Green gets up and suddenly both men turn their attention toward him. A double boot to the mid section, and then both men hook an arm suplexing the former world champion to the mat. Blade lifts Green's head upright then hits the ropes for summersault neck breaker. Just as he nails it C.J. Gates hits a huge leaping sit up leg drop. As he rolls out of the way Blade who had climbed to the top rope leaps off with his Razor Blade senton bomb nailing Green. Gates heads for the corner ready to continue the double team and Blade decides enough is enough. He drop kicks Gates in the back sending him face first into the corner. He charges in with a flying knee to the back of the head and springs to the top himself. As Gates falls backward Blade nails a shooting star press almost timed perfectly as his opponent hit the mat. Blade hook the legs.

Foot on the rope. Blade stands tall furious looking toward the ref overcome with frustration. Green struggles to his feet and Blade catches it out of the corner of his eye. He charges toward the man trying to keep his momentum going, but the Retribution Killer spears the man as he runs toward him. Green exploded to his feet with a huge burst of adrenalin. Gates staggers upright only to be hooked into a powerbomb position. John Green hoists the man into the air and drives him head first into the top turnbuckle. He spins around to see Blade getting up from the spear clutching his ribs. Green plants a boot doubling over his opponent, and goes for the Headsplitter. Blades head bounces off the mat and he lands on his back, Green pumped takes a few deep breaths before covering the man.

Kickout once again from Blade.

Harvey: Not many people has kicked out of the Head Splitter.

Chase: Blade is showing a lot of heart in this match. He’s not giving up.

John Green beside himself stand glaring toward the ref who shrugs his shoulders and shows Green the two count. Green drags Blade to his feet, the man still groggy from the Head splitter, and he once again finds his head between John Greens legs. A huge impact as Blade eats a second Head splitter. Green looks at the man lifeless and then turns toward C.J. Gates who moans in the corner clutching the back of his head. Green up like Jason Vorheis and stalks Gates. He drags the man to his feet and decides it's Christmas, and he is Santa Claus...Head splitters for all. Boom, Gates now hits the mat, and this time Green covers him.

Kickout by Gates.

Harvey: Wow, and now C.J kicks out of the head splitter.

Green flies to his feet with his eye almost bulging from his head with insanity. He wipes sweat from his forehead and looks down to the mat a bit confused. After a double team assault toward him he rallies back and his finisher still isn't enough. Green huffs like a pissed off gorilla, and yokes Gates to his feet slamming him against the turnbuckles back first. He fires off a right hand then comes back with a chest chop then nails a left jab ending the combo with a brutal right upper cut lifting Gates off his feet briefly. Green turns around like an angry bull spotting the matador, and charges toward Blade as he gets up. Green ducks under slamming his shoulder into the mid section of Blade driving him off his feet and slamming him into the corner opposite of Gates. Green viscously assaults Blade in the same manor as Gates then sprints across the ring toward C.J. and nails him with a huge charging splash, Green then gets a head of steam and bolts across toward Blade crashing into him like a drunk driver hitting a wall head first with his car. Green backs out as Blade staggers forward and with a kick to the gut Blade doubles over and Green once again slams him head first to the mat with a Headsplitter.

Green stands up and charges toward Gates to hopefully do the same. C.J. rolls out of the way as Green steam rolls himself into the turnbuckles. Gates whips an inzigurri kick to the side of John Greens head sending him to the mat. Wasting no time C.J. springs to the top rope and hits his variation of the 450 Splash called the Sophisticated Splash, and gets the cover.

Kickout by John Green.

Chase: He kicked out of John’s finisher, so John kicked out of his.

Harvey: What an exciting match this is!

Gates shakes his head as it seems each one of these men have no desire to come up short on this evening. He stands up, and sees Blade getting to his knees. Gates climbs the top rope, and like an acrobat runs along the rope leaping off in a suicide dive toward Blade. The sharp veteran gets to his feet just in time to pull off a beautiful drop kick catching Gates in the mouth on the way down. The crowd goes nutts for the action, and Blade uses the ropes to get up. He looks to the standing arena full of people and then back toward his two opponents. Green shakes off the damage and Blade run over hoisting the man in the air with a German suplex. Green hit the canvas, and Blade rolls to his feet dropping a knee to the forehead of John Green before he can rise. Gates now becomes upright and Blade rushes over with a looping kick to the gut, and drives a nasty point of his elbow to the back of Gates' head. Blade then locks the man in an abdominal stretch. Gates writhes in pain as Blade the grabs the mans free leg pulling it backward creating more torque on the move. Gates not giving up sucks up the pain and slowly starts to fade. Just before he does John Green runs behind Blade and sinks a sleeper hold tight. Blade begins to turn purple in the face as the Retribution Killer tries to squeeze the life out of him. Blade releases the hold on Gates slowly as he fades. C.J. falls forward to the mat landing on his knees, and Green quickly releases his death hold on Blade letting him fall lifelessly the canvas as well. Gates gets up in a flash and Pele kicks Green in the face. Green stumble backward and C.J. follows it up with front flip neck breaker taking Green down. Gates quickly scurries to the top rope.

Harvey: Could this be it?

The fans get to their feet as Gates leaps off the rope with 360 corkscrew senton he calls the Spiral Tap. He nails Green, and then Drags the groggy Blade to his feet, hoists him on his shoulders and plants him with a Death Valley Driver. Gates quickly covers John Green grabbing the legs, with Blade out and the ref begins to count.

Your winner C.J. Gates!!!

Harvey: A back and forth match through out with many near falls, but in the end, C.J Gates comes out on top.

Chase: A little revenge by CJ after losing to John on Overdrive.

C.J’s music begins to play and C.J jumps to the middle rope and celebrates as the fans cheer and take pictures of him. CJ jumps down and see’s Blade slowly moving and trying to get up. CJ helps Blade up and the two look at each other before shaking hands. CJ claps for Blade as he falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring and celebrates his victory heading up the ramp.

Harvey: It looks like Blade and C.J have a new found respect for one another.

CJ walks through the curtains as we go backstage

Backstage Bryan Payne is walking down a hallway where suddenly GM Biggs also appears. The two men take a few more steps towards each other before Biggs notices who is coming towards him and then quickly looks around before realizing they are quite alone except for Ellie who is smiling happily for the moment by his side. The GM’s eyes are drawn downward to a prettily wrapped package which Payne is holding in his right hand.

Payne: Ahh, just the man I was coming to see.

Biggs: Hmm… oh yeah?

Biggs looks around again and then eyes Bryan for a moment.

Payne: Yeah, hey look, I get that you and I haven’t exactly seen eye to eye over this whole Anger Management thing… but hey, you’ve given me Kilgore tonight on a silver platter so I mean.. I guess in that sense I wanted to give you a reciprocal peace offering.

Biggs eyes the package again which Bryan then hands forward.

Biggs: This isn’t going to explode or anything is it?

Payne: I sure hope not…

This doesn’t look like it mollifies Biggs who looks for a moment like he might refuse to take the package when Ellie grabs it.

Ellie: Silly, it’s a wedding present!

Bryan nods and Biggs looks suddenly relieved for a moment. The woman holds the box for a moment and looks at it holding it up to her ear and shaking it examining from all sides as though she’s trying to figure out what it might be.

Biggs: A wedding present eh?

Payne: Exactly, just wanted to come wish you good luck and all that.. I mean it’s not every day you get two people in this business getting married..

Bryan grins and suddenly turns around so that he’s between them and puts his arms around both their shoulders, Biggs still looking irritated and mutinous.

Payne: So I thought to myself… gee what do I get to fine, upstanding, moral people who are finally tying the knot after saving themselves for each other for so long… being a role model for all the kids out there. A beacon of… decency in a business full of decadent excess.

Biggs and Ellie both look a little shocked by his statement but hesitantly smile.

Payne: And then… well then it him me, right out of the blue. I knew exactly what to get for you. I just figured I’d get you something that you’ll need in your new life together for your future happiness. Hell, it’ll probably even make your honeymoon more enjoyable for Ellie!

Biggs looks like he’s going to say something but suddenly snaps his jaw shut and his eyes shoot towards the box which has begun buzzing loudly in Ellie’s hand.

Payne: Ooops… my wait a sec.

Bryan leans forward and begins lightly slapping the box.

Payne: Five speeds.. mind of it’s own you know…

He hits it again and it finally stops and he steps out from between them and waves leaving Ellie to lift the lid and shriek when she sees what is inside.

Biggs: Y-you… t-that.. … I… JERK!

[President Jeff]

[The crowd is still buzzing from the last match; it elevates slightly when the lights dim a bit, but don’t go completely dark. After a few moments of nothing happening, in which confused chatter starts breaking throughout the fans gathered at Shockwave, a haunting, orchestral melody starts playing…]



[…this is accompanied by colored line bars moving slowly on the ’Tron as the low, symphonic sounds drift throughout the arena. After nearly a minute of just seeing this odd mix, white laser light projections of various shapes start playing across the aisle, on the ramp, and as we cut to the ring, even on and around it. At this time, on the ‘Tron, in the space above the colored lines, the following appears in red…]

Leo, the Lion sign, the best astrological sign = 1
The others + up to = 6
6+1=7
Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, that is His Song
7; like the hangman’s board, but this is no children’s game
The 7th Symphony; music to signify His opponent’s end

[…the colored lines fade away at this point, though the projections still appear and fade throughout the arena, and the haunting melody that Beethoven composed still plays over the P.A. Various math equations flash, fade, and appear again in such rapid succession as to be barely glimpsed. One, much larger than the others, fades into view in the middle…]

1+9+7+6=23
23; there is power in this Number
1976; that was when she died.
Could she have prevented this all?

…some more equations flash randomly, when another, much larger slowly materializes…

8+29+2+0+1+0=40
The day the problem first appears…
40-23=17
Still a youngling, when He entered the wrestling business…
…Yet wise beyond His years…

[…the music stops abruptly then, and while more equations flash across the screen for a moment, they stop suddenly. One more message flashes across the ‘Tron…

have you figured out the equation?
do you know what, exactly, is The right Number?
Soon you will know, if you are still ignorant…

The cameras cut back to the commentators

Harvey: What in the blazing hell was that?

Chase: What's with all the numbers? Someone is gonna have to explain this to me as I'm not good with math.

Harvey: Lets hope someone figures out what that was as we go to our next match. Tony is in the ring for the introductions.

The camera goes inside the ring.

Tony: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

The lights in the arena go off as red lights flash in a form of a cross infront of the entrance. "Second Coming" by Juelz Santana suddenly blasts through the speakers as smoke fills the ramp and Criss Cassidy slides through the curtains and onto the main stage.

Tony: Introducing first. From Brooklyn New York. Weighing in at 205 pounds. He is “The Second Coming” CRISS CASSIDY!

The lights come back on as Cassidy makes his way to the ring dressed in a dark red trench coat with the hood over his head. A large diamond chain with a holy cross pendant hangs from his neck as Cassidy walks up the steps and slides into the ring

'Astronaut' by Amanda Palmer comes over the arena, the lights fading down to a low light. Suddenly the crowd is engulfed in a wave of green light before Leila walks onto the stage, bathed in the glow of a spotlight. She looks up above her, then raises her hands slightly as the lights return to normal.

Tony: And his opponent. Hailing from Tehran, Iran. Weighing in at 130 pounds. LEILA FARRAHI

She walks down to the ring, ringing her hands as she goes; focused on the match, ignoring the nobodies boo-ing her as she passes them. She walks up the steps, steps through the ring and looks to the skies again. After a moment's pause, she casts a mocking look over the crowd before she removes her khimar, folding it and handing it over to the official. She flicks her hair out a few times then rolls her shoulders over a few times, warming up for the match.

Criss Cassidy Vs Leila Farrahi


The bell rings and the two circle each other and then they go to lock up and Leila ducks it and starts kicking Criss in the back of his leg. Criss turns and goes to grab Leila who ducks again, and this time runs off the ropes and comes back, baseball sliding through the legs of Criss. As Leila slides through, she is able to trip Criss, causing him to go face first into the mat. Leila is able to lock in a STF, but Criss is quick to get to the ropes to break the hold.

Harvey: These two have had a rivalry going on since Test for the Best where Leila was knocked out of the tournament by Criss Cassidy.

Winner: Criss Cassidy

Chase: What a match by these two.

Harvey: A close match that could have went either way, but in the edge, Criss Cassidy was the better wrestler tonight.

The ref raises Criss arm in Victory. Criss celebrates in the ring as we go to a commercial.

[President Jeff]

The scene opens up backstage where we see Cindy Shannon standing in front of the Shockwave Poster.

Cindy: At this time, please welcome my guest. Making his return to APW. “The Hybrid, DAMIAN DIMITRI”

Damian walks into camera view

Cindy: Welcome back to APW. Where have you been.

Damien: Well Cindy, I needed time away to heal up some minor injuries and get refocused.

Cindy: What are your plans now that your returning

Damian: My plans? The same as everyone plan. To win a championship. Because an APW title is the most….

Just then a man with long dirty blond hair nails Damian from behind, sending him to the ground. Cindy screams as this man begins kicking Damian before lifting him up and throws him into a wall. Damian hit’s the wall and falls to the ground. He then slowly picks Damien up and gives him a brain buster on the concrete, Knocking Damien out. This man looks down at Damien and then looks at Cindy. He slowly approaches her and than takes the microphone from her hand.

Man: I am….THE NUMBER. And Consider That a message to everyone in the locker room.

The Number gives Cindy back the mic and he walks off. We go back to ringside as Cindy checks on Damian.

Harvey: I don’t think that was the welcome Damian Dimitri was expecting.

Chase: We have Damian returning and The Number making an impact early on.

Harvey: Let’s get back to the action here people! Ladies and gentlemen, our next match should blow the roof off of this building!

Chase: A lot of bad blood has been brewing for weeks between the Chosen One Cooper Conrad, and his opponent tonight, the Enforcer of Sorrow, Nathaniel Havok. These two have been fighting like cats and dogs for the past couple of weeks, with Nathaniel always getting the better of Conrad.

Harvey: Next, these two warriors will meet one on one. Nathaniel has said, this is where Cooper Conrad’s wrestling career ends.

The bell rings signifying that we are ready for introductions.

Tony: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Chicago, Illionis, weighing in at 240lbs, the Chosen One, Cooper Conrad!

“Absolute Power” by Tech N9ne hits on the PA as the fans boo ridiculously around the arena. A beautiful video montage of Cooper Conrad is shown as the voice of Tech N9ne can be heard whispering with his voice in reverse. When the beat kicks in and Tech begins to rap, yellow strobe lights flicker all around the arena. Out from the back comes The Chosen One, Cooper Conrad, walking with his head down. He stops at the top of the ramp and stands there for a few seconds before throwing his hands in the air and lifting his head up as pyro goes off all around him. He then walks confidently down the ramp and slides into the ring, getting right up and heading to the far right turnbuckle where he taunts the fans. The music fades as Conrad climbs off the turnbuckle, and the referee gives him instructions.

Tony: And his opponent, hailing from the Underworld by way of Indianapolis, Indiana, weighing in at 242lbs, making his Action Packed Wrestling debut, the Enforcer of Sorrow, Nathaniel Havok!

“Nemesis“ hits on the PA system as purple strobe lights flicker around the arena. Nathaniel Havok steps out from the back with his head facing the ground, hair dripping wet. He stares at the ground for about 5 seconds, before throwing both arms in the air, spitting water out of his mouth, as fire-like pyro explodes around him. He gives a sadistic grin before sprinting to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope. He pops up off the mat and runs right for the far right turnbuckle. With a graceful leap, he lands on the second rope and throws his hands in the air once again. He hops down and stands in the corner as his music dies out.

Chase: This should be a good one Harvey!

Harvey: You got that right!

Cooper Conrad Vs Nathaniel Havok


The bell sounds as Nathaniel stares at Cooper with a sick smile on his face. Cooper tries to shrug it off, and the two begin to circle each other. They finally meet in the middle of the ring with a collar and elbow tie-up, which Nathaniel gets the upper hand with immediately, pushing Conrad into the corner. The referee asks for a clean break, and Nathaniel gives him one, allowing Cooper to come out of the corner. The referee steps out of the way, and the two begin to circle once again. Just like the first time, they lock up with a collar and elbow tie-up. Once more, Nathaniel has the distinct advantage, and backs Cooper into the corner. The referee asks for another clean break, and he gets his wish. When he steps out of the way, the two circle again. Cooper goes for another tie-up, but Nathaniel scouts it with a kick to the stomach and a club to the back of the head that sends Cooper down to the mat face first. As Cooper tries to get up, he starts to crawl on all fours. Nathaniel sees an opportunity and darts across, delivering a low dropkick, that hits Conrad in the face.

Harvey: Oh! Lights out!

Chase: Welcome to APW Nathaniel Havok!

Nathaniel rolls Conrad over and gets on top of him. He begins to deliver rights and lefts to his head and face, and waits until the referee is at 4 before he decides to give the Chosen One a break. He gets to his feet, but isn’t finished delivering the punishment, as he begins to stomp all over the body of Cooper Conrad. As Cooper fights up, he is able to snag the left leg of the Enforcer of Sorrow, and stand to his feet. He has Havok hopping around, but all of the sudden, Havok hits him with a spinning mule kick that sends Conrad back down to the mat. As Cooper once again gets to his feet, Nathaniel has set himself up comfortably on the top rope. Awaiting the right time, Nathaniel leaps off when Cooper turns around, hitting him with a flying hurricanrana.

Chase: My god! It’s over!

Harvey: Pin! 1! 2! No! Cooper was able to get the shoulder up.

Nathaniel looks at the referee, as to tell him to speed the count up a bit. He drags Cooper up by the neck and chops him on the chest a few times, backing him into the corner. Nathaniel makes sure that Cooper is set up and ready, and backs up. He then darts across and delivers a spinning heel kick to the face of Conrad. The move has sent Conrad back down to the mat, but with grace, Nathaniel has landed on his feet, outside on the apron. He climbs to the top, and leaps off, hitting Conrad with a flying elbow. As Conrad flops around on the mat in pain, Nathaniel takes his time to taunt the crowd, screaming “I’m back!”. As the fans play along, Cooper has had enough time to make a small recovery. As Nathaniel turns back around, Cooper is waiting for him with a surprise super kick, that staggers the Enforcer of Sorrow into the corner. Cooper sizes up his opponent, darts across, and splashes Nathaniel Havok into the corner. As Havok now staggers out of the corner, Conrad darts across one more time, delivering a shoulder block to his foe. Nathaniel hit’s the mat hard, but pops right back up. Cooper darts across again and hits him with another shoulder block, but Nathaniel gets right back up. Thinking the third time’s the charm, Cooper runs across again, but is met by Nathaniel who delivers a thunderous clothesline to Conrad, sending him flipping in mid-air.

Harvey: Holy hell! Cooper Conrad might be out cold!

Chase: That seems to be an on-going epidemic these days.

Harvey: Yeah, we do say that a lot.

Nathaniel gets a sick smile on his face and walks up to the prone body of Cooper Conrad. He kicks at Conrad, toying with him to see if he is still conscious. After Conrad attempts to swat him away, Nathaniel drags him up to his feet, and puts him into position.

Harvey: What’s he going to do here?

Chase: That’s it! That’s it! Devil Driver by Nathaniel Havok! This match is over!

Harvey: Wait, why is he not going for the cover?

Havok drags Conrad’s lifeless body back up, and kicks him in the stomach.

Chase: Wait! No! The Crowning! The Crowning Now it’s over!

Harvey: What the hell? He’s not going for the cover! Oh no, high risk move!

Chase: Here it is! Suicidal Downpour! Suicidal Downpour! 1! 2! 3! Nathaniel Havok wins his debut!

Winner: Nathaniel Havok

“Nemesis” begins to play as Nathaniel Havok gets to his feet. The referee attempts to raise his hand, but is shoved to the mat by the Source of all Evil. Nathaniel then begins to toy with Cooper once again, kicking his body to see if he’s still alert. Cooper begins to move around, and Havok gets a pissed off look on his face.

Harvey: Oh no, he’s not happy. He’s going to the outside.

Chase: What’s he going to do with that chair?

Nathaniel gets back into the ring with the chair in hand. He waits for Conrad to get to his feet, and as Conrad turns his direction, blasts him in the head with it. Conrad hit’s the mat and Nathaniel goes crazy, hitting him with the chair multiple times until the chair is completely destroyed. Nathaniel then drags Cooper up by the neck and tosses him over the top rope, and to the outside of the ring. Nathaniel follows him out, dragging him back up to his feet. Nathaniel Irish whips Conrad right into the steel ring post, but doesn’t give him a chance to fall, as he then Irish whips him to the other side. This time, Conrad flies over the steel steps, hitting the barricade on the other side. With a sick smile on his face, Nathaniel tosses Conrad back into the ring. He then looks around, and gets an idea.

Chase: What’s he thinking? Oh no! He’s taking those steel steps into the ring!

Harvey: That’s not all! Another chair! Two chairs! Three! Three chairs Chase!

Nathaniel tosses all the weapons into the ring, and then slides in. He sets the steps in the corner, and grabs a chair. He begins to beat on Conrad some more, until this chair is now completely destroyed. With Conrad out cold, he places another chair in the center of the ring.

Chase: No, no not again! No! The Crowning on the steel chair! The second week in a row!

Harvey: He said he was out to end his career, and it looks like he’s doing it!

Conrad lays in the center of the ring, and Nathaniel picks up the steel steps. He walks over to Cooper and drops the steps on him head and chest. As Conrad lay motionless, Nathaniel picks up another chair and begins to beat on the steps, crushing Cooper Conrad under them. Security then rushes the ring, pulling Nathaniel away from Conrad. They finally get him up to the top of the ramp as Medical Personnel rush the ring. Nathaniel watches as the EMT’s put Conrad on the stretcher. They begin to wheel him up the ramp as Security makes sure Nathaniel is not going to try anything. All of the sudden, with the quickness of a cat, Havok gets away from security, and snags up the stretcher. He then rolls it off of the top of the ramp, sending a defenseless Cooper Conrad down to the cold, hard steel below. “Nemesis” once again plays on the PA as Nathaniel smiles at the destruction he has just made. He then makes his way to the back, satisfied with his work.

We go to a commercial hyping up the over seas tour schedule for September and October

[President Jeff]

Tony: Ladies and gentlemen, the next match, is for the APW Xtreme Championship Title and it is scheduled for a no-holds barred one-fall match up! Coming down to ringside first, the challenger!

The silence of the crowd stirs around the atmosphere of the arena as it suddenly becomes disturbed by the sound of a horrific and deafening scream, a white mist begins to seep through from the ramp way, its swirling life source, only to cast itself lovingly into the air and towards the stage. The crowd looks on worried, each and every face being filled with simple fear as their hearts beat rhythmically with the bright-sensitive flickering lights of death… a sickening blue light only to swoon over the crowd. Just as any search light does when picking sight of its criminal… another one only to follow it in its quest. Suddenly a large circle of fire arises in a quick counter-clockwise motion, before exploding upwards as a tall dark figure appears within the center of the flames. Followed just seconds later by the pounding beats of "Bulletproof" by Five Finger Death Punch, as it blares across the helpless PA system. Exhaling calmly he moves casually down the ramp way with the bright white light behind him, as he slides into the ring in a black t-shirt with his logo design across the front clinging securely to his masculine frame.

Tony: Introducing first. Victor....HADES!

Stepping to the center of the ring while overlooking the crowd disgusted, he lowers his head and brings his fists over his face. He begins throwing clenched fists pounding against his forehead in a violent manner. Screaming words to himself before snapping his head back as his dreadlocks fly from his face, within that moment all four turnbuckle posts are lit up by the explosive pyrotechnics as they erupt. Holding his arms held high with clenched fists, while he then lowers his arms and calmly exhales turning to the stage awaiting his opponent...

Tony: And his opponent, the APW Xtreme Champion...

As The Seed by The Roots plays, Crazy Joe comes out from behind the curtains still on crutches as he slowly makes his way to ringside.

Tony: Crazy......JOE!!!!!!!!!!!

He hobbles down the ramp towards the ring, eyes centered on the ring. He slowly gets up the stairs, it takes him awhile, but he navigates his way into the ring, he stands in the middle of the ring and raises his Xtreme Title high in the air to show to the crowd. He hands the belt off to the referee and makes his way to his corner.

Harvey: What a match we have here in front of us Chase. An Xtreme match for the Xtreme Title with two of the most Xtreme wrestlers in the business.

Chase: Yes, it should be Xtreme.... Especially with Crazy Joe on crutches, I'm sure this will be a nice and fair match.

APW XTREME TITLE MATCH
Crazy Joe Vs Victor Hades


Crazy Joe remains on his crutches as Victor Hades taunts him and the crowd. Hades knows that he should be able to take advantage of this rather easily. Hades charges towards Crazy Joe, but Crazy Joe raises a crutch and Hades backs off without any damage done.

Suddenly "This Means War" by Busta Rhymes plays over the loud speaker. On the jumbo tron a video of Mark Mania's highlights begin to play.

Chase: What the hell is this!? Mark Mania is not part of this match, he needs to start minding his own damn business.

Harvey: Well he hasn't come out quite yet Chase, maybe it was an accident.

Chase: Sure! Just like Princess Diana, one big accident.

Victor Hades is standing against the ropes closest to the ring, seething in anger as Mark Mania is about to steal the spotlight from him. Crazy Joe is leaning against the furthest most ropes looking on as well. The song goes on longer and longer without anything happening. You can almost see the smoke coming from Victor Hades head as he is getting more and more angry.

Chase: Is this wussy going to come out or what? What's the hold up, I'm waiting for an Xtreme match here!

Harvey: Technical difficulties Chase, that's all.

As Victor Hades is looking, Crazy Joe throws his crutches out of the ring, and stands on his own accord. The crowd begins to cheer as Crazy Joe shows he's able to stand perfectly fine. Crazy Joe then grabs at his mask.

Harvey: Chase, what is happening here, what is Crazy Joe doing? He's lost his crutches, now, he's taking off his mask.

Chase: No, no, he's just adjusting the mask.

At these words, Crazy Joe removes his mask, to reveal, that he is in fact MARK MANIA!!!!

Harvey: OH MY GOD CHASE! All along it is Crazy Joe who has been Mark Mania. After months of speculation as to who Crazy Joe actually was, it turns out that he is Mark Mania!!!

Chase: What? But, uh, how did, what!? How did this happen!? We saw Mark Mania attack Crazy Joe last week at Overdrive!

Harvey: Well obviously Mark Mania had someone dress up like Crazy Joe and he attacked him instead, he knew all along, he had us all going!!

Victor Hades can hear the commotion going on around him but he is looking anywhere but in the ring for Mark Mania. Finally after frantic searching, Victor Hades turns around and is looking into the face of Mark Mania. Mania smiles quickly, and then charges at Hades and delivers a giant clothesline that takes Hades off his feet. Hades gets up quickly thought and Mark Mania charges again this time delivering a hard charge of the shoulder into Hades breast plate and knocks him back down. Hades pops up once more and stares still disbelievingly at Mark Mania. Mark Mania offers yet another smile and as Victor Hades charges at Mania, Mania jumps and hits a dropkick right to the chest of Victor Hades.

Harvey: Clearly Mark Mania has the element of surprise here and it seems as though Victor Hades may be in trouble for not being prepared for this.

Chase: How could anyone be prepared for this, man? It's Mark Mania, we all thought he was just a worthless bystander.

Harvey: Well, he proved you wrong eh?

Chase: Right, like you knew.

Hades gets up again, but this time slower than the previous two. Mark Mania is already attempting to take the upper hand and he delivers hard punches to the side of Victor Hades head. Mania hits a shot to the temple and Hades retracts down to one knee. At which point Mark Mania delivers a giant knee to the face of Victor Hades. Mark Mania jumps at the chance and goes for a quick cover.

1...

Victor Hades kicks out!

Chase: Hades may be surprised, but he's still a fierce competitor. It's going to take a lot more than that to take him down.

Mark Mania gets up and brings Victor Hades with him. Hades counters with elbows to the mid-section and then Hades gets the upper hand. He throws Mark into the ropes and Mania bounces off, but Hades grabs him and hits a huge belly-to-belly suplex that sends Mania flying! Mark gets up quickly though and charges at Hades. Hades counters though and hits a devastating clothesline to knock Mark back down. This time it's Hades who picks up Mark and throws him into the turnbuckle. Hades runs after him and delivers a hard spear right to the midsection of Mark and Mania goes down to the ground, sitting up in the turnbuckle. Mark seems to be out of it as Victor Hades regains his composure for a moment. Hades walks over towards the announcers table and starts motioning for Paige to give him her chair. She denies and denies which infuriates Hades to no end. He starts threatening her for the chair.

All this time however, Mark Mania is getting to his feet. Finally as Victor Hades is getting ready to get out of the ring and go over Paige, Mark is steady on his feet and charges after Hades. Victor hears this though and he falls to the ground and grabs the top rope as he falls, Mark Mania rushes and goes clear over the top rope to the outside. The crowd gasps at what is happening.

Victor Hades rushes out of the ring after Mark Mania as Mania goes down hard to the mat outside the ring. Hades grabs him by the back of the head and throws him into the stairs leading up the ring. Mania goes charging with a force into the stairs and goes down hard. Hades goes after Mania and picks him up and throws him into the steel turnbuckle and Mania goes head first into it and goes down again.

Harvey: Well, I thought Mania was going to be able to take this match quickly, but Victor Hades is proving why he's one of the best competitors in the business today!

Hades lifts up Mark Mania again and then delivers a huge body slam so Mark goes down onto the barely covered mat hard. Mark Mania is down and out and Hades begins searching under the ring for something to help his cause. He pulls out a chair and throws it into the ring. He pulls out another chair and throws it into the ring. Finally, he pulls out a table and begins to set it up, finally Mark is beginning to stir and he gets to one knee. Hades has only just finished setting up half the table, so he goes back after Mark. He charges at Mark and delivers a knee right to the face of Mark and Mark falls hard to the ground. Hades lifts up Mark and throws him at the ring, Mark bounces off the ring from his back, but Hades is charges right after him and delivers a huge clothesline that charges Mania's back into the side of the ring again and Mania goes down hard.

Victor Hades goes back to the table and finishes setting it up. He places it parallel with the back side of the ring and goes back after Mark. He picks up Mark and sets him up for a suplex onto the table! Hades goes to lift up Mark, but Mark hooks his leg around Hades' and Hades has no leverage. Hades knees Mania in the gut and goes for another suplex, but again Mania counters. This time it's Mania who offers a knee to the mid-section and then delivers a quick snap suplex that sends Hades to his back. Both men are laying on the ground trying to recover.

The two men get up about the same time, but Mark Mania looking worse for wear. Hades gets up more steadily and grabs Mark Mania and throws him into the ring. Hades catches his breath for a moment on the apron of the ring and then gets himself into the ring. During this same time though, Mania had gotten himself to his feet and grabbed a chair. He was standing in wait.

Victor Hades gets himself to his feet and immediately Mark Mania charges and hits Victor Hades over the head with a chair! Hades stands there dazed for a moment without moving, still on his feet. Mark looks at him with shocked eyes and ramps up, and hits Hades over the head with the chair again and this time Hades goes down hard! Mania rushes for the pin...

1...

2...

KICK OUT BY HADES!

Mark Mania gets up surprised as anything and grabs the chair again as he gets to his feet. He stands there in wait again.

Harvey: Not looking good for Hades now. Mania is set up to hit him again.

Chase: Too bad for Hades here.

Hades begins to get to his feet, but Mania is waiting for him, Mania ramps up to hit Hades, but Hades grabbed the other chair and Mania and Hades hit each other with chairs are the same time and both men go down!!

Chase: Oh my God Harvey, did you see that! What a move by Victor Hades!

Harvey: Chase, both men are down right now, I'd say what a move by both men.

Chase: I'm sure you get a lot of moves put on you by two men too.

Harvey: Oh for God's sake.

Mark Mania and Victor Hades begin to stir at the same time. Both of them get to one knee, neither of them with a chair in their hands, but both of them bleeding from the head. Both men finally get to their feet and start exchanging punches back and forth. They go back and forth, back and forth. Finally Mania gets the upper hand and throws Victor Hades into the ropes. Hades catches himself in the ropes and stops himself. Mania goes charging after Hades anyways and when he gets there Hades flips him up over his shoulders presumably to send him crashing into the table below outside the ring. Hades celebrates as if this is what happened. But in the mean time Mark Mania caught himself on the ropes and stayed standing on the apron on the other side of the ropes. He jumps himself up onto the top rope and as soon as Hades turns around, Mark Mania hits a huge drop kick and sends Hades to the ground.

Mark Mania gets up first again and goes after Victor Hades. But Hades believe it or not, gets up quickly as well and counters with a forearm to the face of Mark Mania. Mania stumbles and Hades takes this opportunity to pick up the chair near his side. He charges at Mania and hits him square in the head!!! Mania goes out like a light! Hades rushes for the cover.

MARK MANIA KICKS OUT!

Harvey: I thought Hades had taken his head off there! I can't believe that Mark Mania got out from that one.

Chase: The referee wasn't fast enough with his count, Mania was out of it.

Hades is upset beyond belief. Mark Mania has turned onto his stomach after an aggressive kick out. Victor Hades grabs the chair in his hands again and starts unleashing upon Mark Mania's back. Shot after shot with the chair. Finally after Mark Mania begins to not squirm as much, Hades lays the chair on Mania's back, runs back, bounces off the ropes, jumps up and lands with his knees upon the chair that is on Mark Mania's back!

Harvey: Mark Mania will not be able to take much more of this. I don't care how many matches he's been in.

Hades recovers and rolls over Mark Mania again and covers him.

2-1/2....

MARK MANIA KICKS OUT AGAIN!

Hades is stunned that Mania has kicked out yet again. He grabs the chair and throws it out of the ring in anger. He lifts up Mark Mania and throws him into the corner. Mania and Hades are both bleeding. Hades wipes the blood from his own face with the back of his right hand. He then proceeds to unleash a fury of right hands to the bloody face of Mark Mania. He does this until Mark Mania is forced down to the ground. Sitting, just barely holding himself up with the ropes. Hades walks over and finds the other chair in the ring. He walks back towards Mania and gives a quick jab to the midsection of Mark Mania with the chair. He then wedges it between the bottom and middle rope and now the only thing in the face of Mark Mania is a steel chair. Hades gets a running start, and HITS A TREMENDOUS DROPKICK ONTO THE CHAIR IN THE FACE OF MARK MANIA!!!

Harvey: OH MY GOD! MARK MANIA MUST BE KNOCKED OUT!!!

Victor Hades gets to his feet, removes the chair to see the damage that has been done to Mark Mania. It's not pretty as Mania is bleeding even more and apparently losing a lot of blood. Hades lifts up Mania and drags him across the ring.

Harvey: Why doesn't he just pin him, Mark can barely stand up?

Chase: He's tried everything and pinned him, and he keeps kicking out, maybe Hades has another trick up his sleeve.

Hades drags Mark Mania to the other turnbuckle that is closer to the table that is still set up outside the ring. Victor Hades lifts Mark Mania onto the turnbuckle and starts delivers punches the entire way up. Hades is struggling to get Mania up as Mania seems lifeless. Finally Victor Hades has Mark Mania standing up on the top rope, and Hades is balanced there as well. ]Hades grabs Mark Mania around the neck and stares down at the table.

Harvey: He can't be thinking!

Chase: Oh yes he is!!

Hades looks back at Mark Mania and looks at him in the face and you can clearly seem him mouth "F*ck You". With this, Hades throws Mark's hand over his own, lifts Mark up and SENDS HIM FLYING THROUGH THE AIR DOWN THROUGH THE TABLE AND ONTO THE MAT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!

Harvey: Oh my God, Mark Mania must be out now.

Chase: Victor Hades delivered one hell of a beat down here tonight.

Harvey: I wouldn't say that, Mark had some good shots in.

Chase: (Looking at Mark Mania) Yeah, looks like it.

Hades gets down from the top rope, and goes to the wreckage that has occurred. He covers Mark quickly for the pin.

Winner and NEW APW Xtreme Champion: VICTOR HADES

Harvey: Unbelievable! After the revelation that Crazy Joe is actually Mark Mania, it is Victor Hades that steals the show tonight. Hades after coming back a few months ago and losing to Crazy Joe in a scramble match, he has avenged that loss and ruined the coming out part for Mark Mania.

Chase: Coming out party indeed. Victor Hades is the Xtreme Champion ladies and gentlemen, there is a new, darker, sicker, and more sadistic era of the Xtreme title coming, and I can't wait for it!

Hades celebrates his victory as we go to a commercial for the wedding of Biggs and Ellie on Overdrive

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO CELEBRATE THE WEDDING OF
ELLIE
&
BIGGS
ON THURSDAY NIGHT OVERDRIVE
SEPTEMBER 8th
IN HAWAII

[President Jeff]

Harvey: And up next we have a fight that we’ve all been full of anticipation about: the Overdrive Title match!

Chase: That’s right. Bryan Payne, hand picked by GM Biggs himself to be the instrument of Shaun Kilgore’s undoing.

Harvey: I mean leaving aside the fact that Payne and Biggs working “together” to accomplish this is almost crazy… Payne has a few bones to pick with Kilgore already.

Chase: Right, multiple gang-land style assaults inflicted on he and his opponents over the last several weeks have left The Revelation itching for a fight. But Kilgore is not about to let Payne step into the ring and take the hard won Overdrive Title away from him.

Harvey: No, he’s sure not, and that’s why we fight the matches people!

Tony: Welcome to YOUR Overdrive Title match APW!

A roar is heard from the fans.

Tony: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first the challenger, from Tokyo Japan, standing at 6’1” 215lbs of fury, he is The REVELATION Bryan PAAAYNE!

Bryan appears from underneath the tron, a little smirk displayed from underneath his shades. He pauses looking out over the crowd while he says something that's lost in the noise from the people and the music and then starts to head down towards the ring. He pauses along the way to clasp a few hands of fans hanging out over the edge of the crowd barrier. Bryan grabs a hold of the bottom rope and leverages himself up onto the ring apron, turning around to face the ramp where his opponent will soon appear and points back towards it. He looks out over the crowd again and waves his arms into the air encouraging them to be louder still, and then grins as he ducks under the top rope and into the ring slapping his chest with a single fist several times as he waits for his opponent.

Tony: And his opponent, he is the current APW Overdrive Champion, from Cooleyville Texas, standing at 6’4” and weighing in at 247lbs… the SHOWSTOPPER, Shaun Kilgore!

"The Destination Is There" booms over the PA system, and the fans boo their lungs out as "The Excellent Gordie" Gordon Heath appears from behind the curtain, with "The Showstopper" Shaun Kilgore following behind him. They taunt and laugh at the fans, with Shaun daring several ringside fans to try and hit him. Gordie enters the ring, further chastising the fans as Shaun slides into the ring, walking over to one of the corners and climbing to the middle turnbuckle, putting his arms up in the air as if he's holding an invisible beach ball, also referred to as the Randy Orton pose, with the Overdrive Title clutched in one hand.

Chase: I can’t wait!

Harvey: This should be a great match up people, the words have flowed back and forth between these two for weeks and now we have the culmination of a short-lived but bitter rivalry!

*DING DING*

Chase: Aaaaand their off!

Harvey: Strong move by Payne!

APW Overdrive Championship Match
Shaun Kilgore (C) Vs Bryan Payne

The two men charge straight at each other the moment the bell rings seemingly intent of a furious exchange of blows, but at the last moment Payne leaps off the canvas and flips his feet over into a kind of back kick that sends Kilgore stumbling back caught by surprise. Slumping against the rope for a moment the Champ then pulls himself off caught by surprise a second time as Payne squats down to meet his charge, steps into it, and then uses his own momentum to fling him over his head into a Northern-Lights suplex pin!

One!...

Kickout!

The crowd cheers wildly as the pin, giving a disappointed exclamation when Shaun is able to kick out. As both men roll over onto their stomachs to get up the camera zooms in on Shaun’s face which is a picture of disbelief.

Harvey: I think Payne caught him by surprise tonight partner.

Chase: It looks that way. This match is about more than the APW Title, it’s also according to Kilgore his ‘coming out party’ of sorts, the match that will propel him to the next level of greatness in this company!

Harvey: That might be, but he’d better focus less on what happens next, and more on the man whose in that ring with him right now.

Kilgore seems to take a step back mentally, slowing things down. The two men turn circles around each other making alternate aborted grabs for each other, hands slapping arms away to prevent a grip, and then Kilgore is able to get a foot up using his reach advantage to plant it right in the center of Bryan’s gut backing him up several steps, and then quickly moves forward with shocking speed to twist Payne around into a swinging neckbreaker!

Chase: Kaaabooom!

Kilgore takes a few steps back and then falls forward into a roll coming up into a splash which crashes down right on the center of Payne’s torso causing him to double up and grab at his stomach as he rolls to the side.

Harvey: Double whammy! Very impressed with Kilgore’s ability to adapt, shifting mental gears to avoid the tide of momentum that Payne was building up.

Kilgore seems to stay half on the ground, squatting with one hand on the ropes watching Bryan closely as he works his way up to his knees and tries to stand then launches into action charging across the ring and raising a big boot into the side of Bryan’s head which sprawls him back onto the canvas with thunderous force.

Harvey: And the crowd here at Shockwave has gone completely silent as Shaun Kilgore is completely in control of this title match. Payne looks overmatched and unprepared after a good opening exchange!

Chase: Hey, this is the time for GREATNESS now. Hehe… see what I did there?

Harvey: Unfortunately…

Kilgore has leveraged Payne back to his feet and is working him up onto the turnbuckle as he steps up then. Bryan doesn’t appear to struggle much, forcing Shaun to carry him deadweight hoisting the other man up setting up for a side walk slam from the top rope. He gets ready to leap then and suddenly Payne comes to life, battering Shaun’s back with heavy forearm blows that stagger him for a moment allowing Payne to get his feet set on the rope and then push Shaun off!

Harvey: The crowd is going insane as Payne seems to have gotten a second wind!

Chase: Wait… what’s he doing now?

Payne steps up quickly to the top and then leaps off without much preamble bringing his body in close and spinning over several times into the air to build momentum before laying out into a splash that connects solidly with Kilgore to the crowd’s delight.

Harvey: 420 splash!

Chase: Holy…

One!

Two!

Thr- Kickout!

Harvey: Oh! That one’s gotta sting, I think Payne and everyone else in the arena thought it was over, but somehow Kilgore found a way to kick out of that one.

Both men seem to take a little bit of a break by mutual consent crawling a little ways away from each other and trying to find their feet again. It doesn’t last long however as the crowd begins to chant and clap.

“GET him BRYAN” *clap clap clapclap* “GET him Bryan” *Clap clap clapclap*

This seems to drive Kilgore into a rage as he approaches the ring ropes screaming out into the audience.

“I’M FROM TEXAS ASSHOLES! ME NOT HIM! MEE!”

Kilgore jumps a bit as he feels a finger tapping him on the shoulder and then turns around slowly trying to spin it into a back fist which Payne ducks and then loops his arms around Kilgore’s middle and drops him into an inverted atomic drop which widens Shaun’s eyes and sends him stumbling around clutching at himself.

Chase: cup check!

Bryan quickly moves to follow up the attack, but Kilgore is able to roll just out of the way managing to tangle up their feet and send Bryan tumbling to the canvas as well. This seems to give Kilgore just enough time to recover as when Bryan goes to stand Kilgore falls on him with a double axe handle in the center of the back driving him back down to the canvas, where he begins to rain a furious series of punches against the back of Payne’s head forcing him to cover up to try to protect himself while the Ref gets in Kilgore’s face threatening to DQ him.

Chase: I don’t think that’s much of a threat ref… Kilgore gets DQed he keeps his title!

Harvey: But this is also about respect, and you heard Kilgore just now it infuriates him that even these people don’t respect him right now. He doesn’t need to just retain, he needs to *beat* Payne for himself too.

Kilgore finally allows the ref to draw him back away from Payne and then moves back in as he struggles to rise, and grabs him around the waist from behind quickly flipping him over into a german suplex, crashing Bryan’s head and shoulders against the canvas. Kilgore rolls back up into a position on his knees and glances back at a sprawled out Payne and then moves back to the turnbuckle climbing up to the second one and slaps at his own elbow. He leaps from it with the arm extended shocked as Payne is able to roll to one side leaving him to crash on that arm into the canvas where he screams clutching at the arm that bore the brunt of the impact an look of shock and pain on his face as Bryan rights himself, looking tired, but as yet unbeaten.

Harvey: Kilgore went to put Bryan away but gave him a window to get back into this match up again!

The two men struggle for a moment before finally the crowd grows excited again as they see Bryan has latched onto the arm Kilgore just fell on wrapping it around his legs and then grabbing his wrist as he falls back onto his side locking in an arm bar on the limb. The effect on Shaun is electric as he scrambles desperately trying for a rope or to break the hold as he starts to scream within a couple seconds as the elbow, begins to hyper-extend rather quickly.

Chase: Man oh man that doesn’t look good!

The ref pauses to check on Shaun who shakes his head through the pain and tries to use his free hand to push Payne’s leg’s apart but he might as well be trying to push a door frame wider with his bare hands for all the effect it seems to have. That hand reaches out for a moment, wavering in the air, dropping halfway to the canvas and then lurches out just seizing the bottom ring rope with his fingertips and latching on tight!

Harvey: He’s managed to get to the rope, but what damage has been done?!

Shaun grabs at his arm as the ref forces Payne to let go and as Bryan moves back towards him, he slips outside of the ring grabbing his Overdrive title off the announce table.

Chase: What the hell?!

The ref begins a count.

One.

Two.

Three.

Kilgore shakes his head as he clutches the one arm to his chest with the Overdrive title clutched to him with the other and beings to back his way up the entrance ramp resolutely.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Harvey: What? Are you kidding me? He’s walking out on his own title defense at a ppv?!

Chase: They guy is hurt.. obviously! The ref should have checked on him and stopped the match!

The crowd rains a chorus of boos down on Kilgore who finally reaches the top of the ramp while Payne looks on in bemused confusion at Shaun.

Harvey: I don’t think Payne can believe it… I can’t believe it!

Seven.

Eight.

Nine!

Kilgore finally makes a motion and there is movement from underneath the ring, out of nowhere the Sports Nutz have appeared wielding bats which smack into Bryan from either side sending him sprawling to the canvas.

10!

The ref motions for the bell for a count out a split second before the Nutz actually attack! The two men continue to rain blows down on Payne who taken by surprise in that manner is helpless to defend himself as the bats continue to find their mark over and over a growing sense of horror rippling through the crowd as they watch Bryan being completely taken apart before their very eyes.

Tony: And the winner of the match via Count out… BRYAN PAYNE! And Still APW Overdrive Champion, Shaun Kilgore

Harvey: My god… someone has got to stop this…

Kilgore has made his way back to the ring now as the Nutz pick Bryan up by either arm holding him up as Shaun holds the Overdrive title up in front of his face.

“This is mine.. you hear me MINE!”

Kilgore leans back then and rams the title flush against Bryan’s head as the Nutz let him fall back to the canvas. The two tag team members raise either one of Kilgore’s hands as Bryan’s music plays in the background and the boos of the crowd continue to rain down on them as we go to a commercial for the next PPV

LIVE FROM THE TOYKO DOME
ONE NIGHT IN HELL
THE RETURN OF.......




THE ELIMINATATION CHAMBER

[President Jeff]

Harvey: Well folks, its that time again

Chase: The main event. Level One is about to take on Sally Talfourd

Harvey: Sally got this title opportunity when she defeated 3 opponents at Test for the Best.

Chase: And her luck runs out tonight because Level One is retaining the title.

Harvey: Well, we’re about to find out.

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

Tony: The following contest is your main event of the evening and it is for the APW Heavyweight Championship. Making her way to the ring this evening, weighing in at a sublime one-hundred and forty pounds, standing in at five feet and ten inches of perfection, this is Sally Talfourd!

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

Harvey: Look at Sally, she looks confined are ready for this match.

Chase: If you ask me, she looks scared in stepping into the ring with Level One.

Put You On Game- By Lupe Fiasco blasts the PA system, as Level-One steps up on-top of the ramp. Red smoke swirls beneath him, and a string of red and blue pyro shoots up into the air he raises both of his hands high in the air.

Tony: From Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 262 pounds, Level-One!!!

Level-One slowly begins to walk down the ramp, being booed loudly by the crowd. Level-One stops before eyeing down a fan, mocking the fan in the process. Level-One turns, and climbs up onto the apron. He climbs up turn-buckle, hoisting his fist high in the air. Level-One hops down, and awaits for the fight in-front of him.

Chase: Look at the champ. Greatness just oozes out of him.

Harvey: This is going to be a hell of a match. And judging by the noise in here, the fans are feeling the same way.

The ref checks on both opponents and gives them the rundown. Both agree to what he's saying, but haven't taken eyes off each other since the moment they both were in the ring. The refcalls for the bell.

Ding-ding!
