The APW Asylum broadcast begins with Asylum General Manager Reginald Schmidt already in the ring with “Smells Like Teen Spirit/Never Gonna Give You Up” plays. The standard ring entrance is in place, although better quality lighting rigs are up, revealing how much of a dump the IWC arena really is. The fans are raising a ruckus as normal, and once his music stops, Reginald begins to speak.
Reginald: Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you here tonight to the end of an era. You see, tonight is the very last episode of IWC Asylum, because as President Jeff announced on APW.com, IWC Asylum is now officially APW Asylum.
The fans boo loudly at this, chanting “IWC! IWC!” at the top of their lungs.
Reginald: I don't like it either, but the fact of the matter is that after the exposure we got at APW RassleMania, the guys upstairs decided that it was time to take IWC global. Unfortunately, that means we won't be able to be at the IWC Arena as much as we would like, because quite frankly, all the production equipment they want to use won't fit in here without violating building and fire code. I'm not sure when the next time we'll be back here where it all started, but I just wanted to take this time to thank each and every one of you IWC faithful who have supported us and made this company what it is today! Without your devotion, without your passion for what we've done here, IWC wouldn't have lasted more than one show! We are grateful for the fact that you appreciated the wrestling first and foremost! It wasn't about all the bells and whistles, it wasn't about the flashing lights and pyro, for the IWC faithful, it always has been and always will be about the wrestling! And just because we're going to get an upgrade in our production values, not to mention a sweet TV deal with the Food Network, that doesn't mean that it will stop to be about the wrestling in Asylum! I can assure you that the men and women of APW Asylum will continue to fight their hearts out and bust their butts to make sure that you fans here in the arena and watching all over the world will continue to get the absolute best wrestling action in the business today! So once again, I thank you for your support, and look forward to a new era of prosperity for Asylum!
“Smells Like Teen Spirit/Never Gonna Give You Up” plays again as Reginald exits the ring, and the camera switches over to Russ T. Nailz and Steve Beckett at the announce table.
Nailz: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first Asylum under the APW banner! We're live on the Food Network, and we have a huge main event scheduled for tonight, where the Suicidal Champion Rico Casteel teams with Gary Busey to take on the team of the Insane Champion James Chambers teams with Craig T. Nelson!
Beckett: Also, Chris Cyrus takes on his former Axis of Awesome partner, the APW Overdrive Champion, Biggs!
Nailz: But we're starting things off with a bang with a Six-Man Elimination Tag Match! Last team standing wins!
300 violins hits the PA system as Bishop lets the fans hang in suspense. After a few moment Nathan appears out from the curtain and looks around the arena with a cocky grin on his face. JD Pierce and Jason Kash enter the arena behind him, and the three of them make their way down the ramp with smug looks on their faces.
Stenfelder: Making their way to the ring first, at a combined weight of 696 pounds, the team of “The Kamikaze Revolution” JD Pierce, “The Chosen Future” Nathaniel Bishop, and “The Bad Influence” Jason Kash!
The three men all head down to the ring, drawing loud boos from the crowd. They all step into the ring, and pose triumphantly.
Beckett: These three men were on the winning team in the War Games Match at RassleMania! Tonight, they get another chance to keep the gravy train rolling here tonight against three of the top fan favorites here in IWC, excuse me, APW!
Nailz: I'm with you partner, I don't think I'll ever get used to that!
The PA system comes on as "Shout 2000" by Disturbed begins to play out over the system. Madok Mortalis, Isamu Suzuki, and “Supersonic” Branden Harvey enter the arena to loud cheers!
Stenfelder: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 545 pounds, the team of “Supersonic” Branden Harvey, Isamu Suzuki, and the APW Tap Out Champion, Madok Mortalis!
Isamu and Branden slap fives with the fans, while Madok just looks right at the ring, glaring at their opponents. They reach the ring, with Isamu and Branden hopping up on the near turnbuckles while Madok raises his title high in the air. The Dangertainment contingent attacks them from behind! The ref calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

The fans are booing loudly as JD Pierce, Jason Kash, and Nathan Bishop take it to their opponents, Pierce paired with Harvey, Kash with Madok, and Bishop with Suzuki. Bishop Clotheslines Suzuki over the ropes to the floor, while Kash tosses Madok through the ropes, and follows him outside the ring. The competitors outside the ring continue to brawl as Pierce goes to whip Harvey into the corner. Harvey reverses it, sending Pierce into the corner instead! As Pierce stumbles out of the corner, Harvey gives him a kick to the gut, followed up by an X-Factor! He then mounts the top turnbuckle and leaps off, hitting the Sonic Boom! He hooks JD's leg, 1

Beckett: There's our first elimination!
At this point, Harvey goes out and attacks Kash from behind, giving Madok the assist! From here, the match continues to be a wild brawl on the outside. Nate Bishop lifts Isamu up and tosses him over the barrier, into the crowd! Bishop then follows Isamu out into the crowd. The two men battle it out on the outside, grabbing weapons from the fans and hitting one another again and again. The fans are going wild for their brawl in the crowd! Meanwhile, Madok and Harvey roll Kash into the ring, before giving him a Double Team DDT, spiking his head into the mat! Branden then rolls out of the ring, grabbing a ladder and sliding it into the ring! Madok continues to lay the boots to Kash while Harvey sets the ladder up. He then rolls back out, grabbing a table, setting it up in the ring as well. Madok and Harvey then place Kash on the table, and they both beat him down for a bit before Madok makes his way up the ladder! Harvey then makes his way up to the top turnbuckle and the fans are cheering at the top of their lungs as both men leap off at the same time! Madok hits with the Stormbreaker Senton Bomb, while Branden nails a Flying Leg Drop, sending Kash through the table! Madok goes for the pin, 1

Eliminated: Jason Kash
Nailz: If you would have told me before this match that Dangertainment would be down two people before even one member of the other team got eliminated, I would have called you crazy!
Beckett: Can the team of Mortalis, Suzuki, and Harvey make it a clean sweep?!
As the ref checks on Kash, Madok and Branden exit the ring and make their way to the brawling Isamu and Bishop. As they're on their way, Bishop kicks up right between Isamu's legs, making him scream out in pain a few octaves higher than normal! As Isamu falls to the concrete, Bishop turns around right in time to give Madok a poke to the eyes before tossing him into the fans, and Harvey is just a step behind, throwing a punch at Bishop! Bishop blocks the punch, and gives Harvey a hard punch right in the throat! As Harvey's gasping for air, Bishop grabs him by the head, leading him back to the barricade, and bouncing his head off of it before tossing him back to the ringside area. Bishop steps over himself, and grabs a steel chair, beating Harvey down with a vicious assault at ringside!
Nailz: This has been nothing more than a wild brawl!
Beckett: They say wild animals are most dangerous when you back them into a corner, and that's most certainly the case with Nathan Bishop at this juncture in the match! He's absolutely teeing off on Branden Harvey!
After about a dozen chair shots, Bishop tosses the chair over the ropes and into the ring, before pulling Branden up and rolling him into the ring as well. Bishop slides back in himself, and sets the chair up before pulling Branden up by the hair. He then gets behind Branden, clubbing him with some vicious blows before grabbing a hold of his head and giving him a Bulldog right into the chair! SMACK! The fans hear the blow echo throughout the arena, while Harvey holds his face in pain! Bishop gives him no chance to recover at all, pulling him right back up and delivering the Future Imperfect GTS in short order! Bishop hooks both legs, 1

Eliminated: “Supersonic” Branden Harvey
Beckett: Thanks for coming, kid! Get your door prize on the way out!
When Isamu and Madok get back to the ring, the ref finally restores order, and forces Isamu into the corner to actually enforce the tag team rules. Bishop and Madok go at it for about 10 minutes, with neither man getting the advantage, although there are several near falls. As the match progresses, Bishop gives Madok a Gutwrench Suplex that lays him out, and goes to knock Isamu off the apron! However, Isamu sees him coming, and side steps! The opening gives him the chance to jump up and clock Bishop right in the face with a hard kick that sends him stumbling backwards! Madok rolls him up from behind, 1

Bishop kicks out! Madok can't believe it, and Isamu is on the apron, desperately calling for the tag. Madok obliges, much to the joy of the fans, and the two men begin to unload a flurry of punches and kicks to Bishop with such ferocity that he's practically out on his feet! Madok then gives Bishop the Blood Rites Twist of Fate, while Isamu mounts the top turnbuckle and leaps off with the Shinyuu Skytwister Press! He covers Bishop, 1

Winners: Madok Mortalis, Isamu Suzuki, and “Supersonic” Branden Harvey[/center]
Stenfelder: Here are your winners and sole survivors of the match, Madok Mortalis and Isamu Suzuki!
“RISING,” by the Yoshida Brothers, plays as the ref raises Isamu and Madok's arms in victory! Branden Harvey runs back down to the ring to celebrate with his teammates, while Bishop feebly rolls out of the ring.
Nailz: What an opening bout here tonight! Nate Bishop put up a valiant effort against long odds, but in the end the odds were just too long!
Beckett: Is it odd that I think it's odd how often you used odds in that sentence?
Nailz: Whatever! Congratulations to the victors!
APW Asylum cuts to a commercial break.
