Asylum 7/31-Charlotte, North Carolina

[reginald]

Ida Marie's “Bad Karma” blares over the speakers as the camera pans the crowd, showing all the signs. There's a contingent of fans in the front row dressed like an assortment of APW Asylum Mega Stars, most notably, a fat dude with a full beard dressed as Sally Talfourd. He has a sign that says “Sally's Prettier Sister.” His buddies continue to give him a hard time as the camera continues to scan throughout the arena, and the fans go wild as a pyrotechnics display gets going on the stage. After the pyro goes off, we switch to Russ T. Nailz and Steve Beckett at the announce table.

Nailz: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, for an explosive night of APW Asylum action!

Beckett: Tonight is going to be huge, as we'll see the fall out from last episode's main event! Asylum General Manager has promised that we'll see the APW World Heavyweight Champion Rico Casteel in the ring tonight with the man whom he betrayed last week, BDC!

Nailz: There's a reason Rico Casteel is known as “The Loose Cannon,” and if Reginald and BDC think they're going to get an explanation out of him here tonight, I think they'll probably be leaving Charlotte disappointed!

Beckett: I don't see BDC as the kind of guy looking for an explanation here tonight! I think he'll be out for revenge!

Nailz: And we don't just have that confrontation in store for tonight, we also have some very exciting matches lined up for tonight! We'll see not one, but two previews for the Tag Team Title match scheduled for Shockwave as Nathaniel Havok takes on Shane Borderland, and Sally Talfourd faces off against Jason Kash! And during both matches, the respective partners are banned from ringside!

Beckett: That's ensure no funny business! Also, BDC is going to try and take his rage out on Branden Harvey here tonight! I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be in Harvey's boots tonight!

Nailz: I wouldn't underestimate Harvey in this one, as he has shown a lot of heart in the past. Still, considering he's now a part of the New Elite, will he have that same courage!? We'll have to wait and see!

Beckett: Also, Chris Cyrus will go one-on-one with “Superstar” Bobby Bodacious, and looks who's in Bodacious' corner here tonight, none other than the new APW Suicidal Champion, The Gambler!

Nailz: The Gambler and Chris Cyrus have a huge match for that belt lined up at Shockwave! Could The Gambler be looking to get an unfair advantage this week? I'd bet on it!

Beckett: But we're starting things out with a tag team match that stems from two weeks ago, when Most Hated Hopper Rose and Tyler Vaughn interrupted a match between Mike Morrison and Yoko Misawa, prompting Reginald Schmidt to change the match to a tag team contest! When that match ended in a no contest, Reggie booked a return bout tonight, and we've just been informed that tonight, there must be a winner!

Nailz: No disqualifications, no count outs, anything goes! Let's send it to Adam Stenfelder in the ring!

Stenfelder: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a tag team match where anything goes!

As the smoke begins to clear from the entrance ramp, the lights in the arena dim, "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor begins to play throughout the arena. The crowd rises to its feet and begins to Boo as the opening lines are heard...

You Ready!?.....Lets Go!

This is 10% Luck

20% Skill

15% Concentrated Power of Will

5% Pleasure

50% Pain

and 100% Reason to Remember the Name



Just as the last line plays, Tyler Vaughn followed by Hopper Rose steps through the curtains and onto the entrance ramp, causing the Asylum faithful to erupt into pure chaos as the two men who call themselves "Most Hated" make their way out onto the entrance ramp, where Tyler stops and stands and looks out at the fans. After a few moments he begins to walk down to the ring, followed by Hopper Rose who is unfazed by the horrible reception he's getting is slowly making his way down to the ring with his hood up and draped over his face...

Stenfelder: Making their way to the ring first, weighing in at a combined weight of 455 pounds, Tyler Vaughn and Hopper Rose, Most Hated!

As the two men continue to head towards the ring, Mike Morrison and Yoko Misawa come from out of nowhere, attacking them from behind!

Nailz: It looks like Yoko and Morrison are getting payback for last week!

Mike Morrison grabs a hold of Hopper Rose and Yoko gets his mits on Tyler Vaughn. They beat them down as they lead them back up the ramp, bouncing both of their opponent's off the steel support beams holding up the Action-Tron! The ref from the ring runs up the ramp, and another one runs out from the back, as Yoko grabs Vaughn by the head and goes back through the curtains. Morrison grabs the dazed Hopper Rose, and tosses him off the stage into the production area! Hopper crashes into a set of speakers and sparks fly as the camera switches to Yoko and Vaughn in the back!

Beckett: It looks like they're going to officially start this match! We'll have cameras on both pairs so we can follow all the action!

Yoko Misawa & Mike Morrison vs. Most Hated

[/u]

The camera switches to a split screen, showing Yoko and Vaughn backstage on the left, with Hopper and Morrison in the arena on the right. Morrison climbs down from the stage and collects the downed Hopper, pulling him up to his feet, and giving him a hard Headbutt right between the eyes! Morrison continues to beat down Hopper as he drags him back to the ring, while backstage, Yoko and Vaughn trade blows savagely. Yoko whips Vaughn hard into a soda machine, before taking a Three Point Stance and charging right at him, tackling him down to the floor, and unloading with a rapid fire set of fists! The two continue to brawl throughout the arena while Hopper gets rolled into the ring. Morrison pulls Hopper up, only to receive a hard shove, which gives Hopper the chance to give Morrison a quick Perfect Plex! Hopper tries to regain some breath while Morrison is down.

Nailz: This match has been all Yoko Misawa and Mike Morrison so far! I'd complain about it being hard to follow, but there hasn't been much variation so far.

Beckett: Looks like Vaughn could be switching things around in the backstage area!

In the back, Yoko has Vaughn up in a Gorilla Press position, but Vaughn wiggles out and lands behind Yoko, taking him down with a quick Forward Russian Leg Sweep! From here, Vaughn goes for a quick cover, 1

Kick out from Hopper! The respective pairs continue to battle for the better part of 10 minutes, Vaughn and Yoko facing off in a good ol' fashioned, knock-down drag out brawl on the outside, while Mike Morrison and Hopper Rose pull off a back and forth clinic in the ring! Eventually, Yoko and Vaughn are seen emerging from a tunnel on the floor level, and fight their way through the crowd! Hopper sees them, and gives Morrison a swift Kick to the Balls, which is perfectly legal in this environment, and heads out, hopping over the barricade to assist his partner. They double team Yoko with some hard fists, and lead him to the barricade, where they attempt a Double Team Head Ram! Yoko blocks it, and grabs a hold of both of their heads, bouncing them off of the steel barricade! He then grabs Hopper, throwing him over the steel barrier, and climbing over himself. Yoko then yanks Hopper up, rolling him into the ring and sliding in himself. He motions for Morrison to mount the top turnbuckle, and hoists Hopper up onto his shoulders in a Torture Rack Position! Morrison then hops off the top, grabbing Hopper Rose with a Jumping Swinging Neckbreaker as Yoko falls back with a Samoan Drop! Morrison goes for the cover, 1

Nailz: Tyler Vaughn just saved the match for his team there!

As Yoko turns around, Vaughn slides back in, helps Hopper back up, and they both give Yoko a hard kick to the nuts before pulling Yoko in for the Total Annihilation! Both men lay across the chest of Yoko, 1

Winners: Most Hated[/center]

Stenfelder: Here are your winners, by pinfall, the team of Hopper Rose and Tyler Vaughn, Most Hated!

Nailz: What a wild start to APW Asylum here on the Food Network! That match was chaotic, action packed, and in the end, the team of Most Hated came out with the win!

Beckett: I'll say this much, the makeshift team of Mike Morrison and Yoko Misawa was very impressive! That Swinging Neckbreaker/Samoan Drop combo was sick!

“Remember the Name” plays over the speakers as the ref raises Vaughn and Rose's arms in the air. Most Hated celebrate their victory, ignoring the jeers of the crowd as they glad hand in the ring! APW Asylum cuts to a commercial break.

[reginald]

We come back from commercial, to find the Enforcer of Sorrow sitting in a steel folding chair, right in the middle of the ring. He has his newly won APW Xtreme Championship around his waist, and a cocky smile across his face. Some fans boo as loud as they can, while others cheer on the Enforcer of Sorrow.

Havok: Ladies and gentlemen, calm down will you?

The mixture of reactions gets even louder.

Havok: Come on, now! If I were in your houses, would I make as much noise as I possibly could? Because let’s face it, professional wrestling in today’s world, is owned and operated by only one man! Me! In other words, I RUN THIS SHIT!

Again, another loud mixed reaction is heard from the APW fan base. Nathaniel stands from his seat, and kicks the chair aside.

Havok: To those of you who have chosen to envy my abilities, thank you oh so very much! Because you see, the Enforcer of Sorrow uses your envy as his motivation! I love nothing more than to see the looks of disappointment on your faces, when I’ve driven your favorite APW Megastar’s head, right into the mat! So hate me all that you want to! We all know what’s really going on here! You only hate me, because you…

All of the sudden, APW President, Hurricane Jeff, appears on the big screen atop the entrance ramp. Nathaniel stops immediately, not believing what he is seeing.

President Jeff: Nathaniel… Oh, Nathaniel…

Jeff whistles.

President Jeff: Yeah, yeah… Up here little man. Now that I’ve got your attention, allow me to tell you why it is that I’ve interrupted you this evening.

Havok: Actually, I was wondering the same thing. Shouldn’t you be kissing some network CEO’s ass, back at headquarters right about now?

On the screen, Jeff smirks and shakes his head in disgust.

President Jeff: Actually Nathaniel, I want you to do something for me. Sit there, shut the hell up for once, and listen to your BOSS! Now, that’s a demand!

Nathaniel looks on, looking quite agitated.

President Jeff: Now, earlier this week, unbeknownst to APW or it’s online staff, you hacked the video archive account of Sally Talfourd, with help from her cameraman, Shane. While this was fine with Sally, I, nor many other people, were none-too-pleased with your remarks towards Jason Kash and Shane Borderland of Organized Violence. Therefore Mr. Havok, effective immediately, you are allowed no more verbal communication rights in APW!

The mixed reaction in the building grows once again.

President Jeff: This means no interviews, no promo’s on the APW website, no talk-shows to promote APW, etc… However Nathaniel, you can easily earn these privileges back, by scheduling a press conference under APW supervision at Headquarters, to issue a public apology to Organized Violence. I am doing this for a very good reason, Nathaniel. Not only do we have our fans to answer to, but we have a responsibility to the community! Branding someone “different” for their chosen sexuality, or even joking about it in a promo, will not be tolerated in my company! I have said it before, and now I will make an example!

Havok: Out of me? Make an example out of me? You think so, Jeff? Please, your little attempt to humiliate me isn’t going to work.

President Jeff: Keep your mouth shut Nathaniel, or get into the unemployment line! You’re choice! Now, you’ll do this press conference, or you’ll keep your damn mouth shut for as long as you’re in my company! But I’ll make you a deal! To make it apparent that I’m not just trying to humiliate you, I’ll even allow you to chose the media that is able to attend the press conference. Sound good to you?

Jeff chuckles.

President Jeff: Oh yeah, that’s right, you can’t talk, can you?

Jeff continues to chuckle as his image leaves the big screen. Nathaniel stands in the middle of the ring, filled up with rage. He puts the micraphone to his lips and begins screaming into it, however no sound is coming out of the PA system. Nathaniel taps the mic, realizing that it’s been shut off. He then throws it down in the middle of the ring and exits to the backstage area with his APW Xtreme Championship over his shoulder.

As the lights dim throughout the arena, red strobe lights start shining everywhere as the sound of "Light It Up" by Rev Theory blairs through the arena. Shane Borderland slowly comes out behind the curtain and stops when he reaches the top of the ramp and looks throughout the crowd. He raises his arms up in the air as the crowd boo’s him. He starts walking down the ramp looking side to side at the crowd.

Stenfelder: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 243 pounds, he is one half of the APW Tag Team Champions, "Bad Boy" Shane Borderland! And his opponent, already in the ring, from the Underworld, by way of Indianapolis, Indiana, weighing in at 242 pounds, he is the APW Xtreme Champion, "The Source of All Evil" Nathaniel Havok!

He jumps up on the apron, and turns an looks at the crowd and shakes his head. He goes through the middle rope and hops up on the turnbuckle and extends his arms. (Randy Orton Style) then he jumps off the turnbuckle. Borderland removes his title belt and raises it high above his head, staring Havok right in the face, taunting him. The ref collects both belts and calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!

"Bad Boy" Shane Borderland vs. "The Source of All Evil" Nathaniel Havok

[/u]

Nailz: Remember, folks, both Borderland and Havok's partners are banned from ringside for this contest!

The two men lock up, and proceed to have a counterfest to open up the contest. Neither man gets the advantage, and after a couple of minutes of holds and counterholds, the two men are at a standstill in the center of the ring. The fans applaud with respect, before Shane gives Havok a hard stomp to the foot, giving him the opening to club him in the face with a Hard Forearm Shot! The "Bad Boy" then follows up with a Neckbreaker, and then a few well placed stomps to the sternum! He pulls Havok back up, and as Havok swings wildly at him, he ducks it, and counters with a Jawbreaker! Borderland goes for the cover, 1

Kick out from Havok!

Beckett: Early advantage goes to Borderland here, but if he thinks he's going to put away the Xtreme Champ with that effort, he's sorely mistaken!

Borderland stays on attack, pulling Havok up and whipping him towards the corner! However, Havok has a quick reaction time, and leaps up to the top turnbuckle and hops right off to hit a Whisper in the Wind! He then takes control of the match, going for some quick hit and run offense that keeps Borderland off balance! After he catches Borderland with a Side Effect, Havok goes for a cover, 1

kick out by the "Bad Boy!"

Nailz: What a back and forth contest this has been thus far!

Borderland and Havok continue to go full tilt for the better part of 25 minutes, with so many changes in momentum, so many amazing counters that the fans are on their feet as the match nears the end. Even though neither competitor is a fan favorite, the fans are eating up every near fall. After laying Borderland out with a Desperation Superkick, Havok mounts the top turnbuckle, and motions for the Suicidal Downpour!

Beckett: If he hits this, it's over!

Havok leaps off for a Shooting Star Press, but Borderland gets his knees up! The "Bad Boy" rubs his shins as he crawls over to cover Havok, 1

Havok gets the shoulder up at the last second!

Nailz: I thought he had him there!

Borderland shakes his head, but stays focused, pulling Havok up and getting him in a Wrist Clutch! Before he can deliver the Lights Out, though, Havok elbows his way out, gives Borderland a kick to the gut, and sets up the Crowning! However, Borderland gives him a Backbody Drop! Havok holds his back as he makes his way back up, and Borderland charges in with a Clothesline, but Havok ducks it, and rolls him up with a surprise School Boy, 1

Winner: Nathaniel Havok[/center]

Stenfelder: Here is your winner, by pinfall, Nathaniel Havok!

Havok quickly exits the ring and the ref follows him to raise his arm in victory as Shane sits on the mat in disbelief! The "Bad Boy" holds up two fingers, but the ref shakes his head while Havok's music plays!

Nailz: If this is a preview of what we're going to see at Shockwave when Borderland and Kash defend the tag titles against Sally Talfourd and Nathaniel Havok, then we're in for one heck of match!

Beckett: We just witnessed one heck of a match!

Havok laughs as he heads up the ramp, and Asylum cuts backstage.

Backstage, Reginald is walking through the locker room. He approaches Branden Harvey.

Reginald: Mr. Harvey, I don't know how you made it back on Asylum after President Jeff fired you. Is your head okay?

Harvey: Yeah, Reg. My head's fine. How about yours?

Reginald: It's fine. Why do you ask?

Harvey: You see, Reg, President Jeff is dangerously close to doing to you the same thing he did to me. President Jeff is dangerously close to firing you. When you get fired, I'd say your welcome in the Elite Posse but you're not. The Posse is only for winners.

Reginald: Then why are you there? How many matches have you won, exactly?

Harvey smirks. He turns around to walk away before mule kicking Reginald in the jaw. Reginald goes down. the camera pans to him. He's out like a light. It pans back to Harvey.

Harvey: I'm a very different person than I was then, Reg. But you're not, are you? You're just the same loser that walked into this fed back in November. But my ability to evolve, to adapt, is what's going to make me better. And it's what's going to give me the ability to win matches. And, Reg, it's what's going to give me the ability to beat BDC in just a few minutes.

Harvey spits in Reginald's face.

Harvey: I'll see you later, Reg.

Nailz: Branden Harvey versus BDC after the break!
We go to commercial.

[reginald]

White neon lights flicker throughout the arena and "Fallout" by Alter Bridge blasts from the arena's PA system. The crowd boo loudly as the man, the myth, the legend BDC walks from behind the curtain and stands at the top of the ramp. The APW - Tron shows the Welsh National Flag, and red, white and green pyro shoot high into the air and he then heads toward the ring.

Adam: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, making his way into the ring, weighing 310 pounds, BDC!

He climbs over the top rope and proceeds to climb each turnbuckle one at a time, raising his right arm in the air. He then jumps up and down a little in the centre of the ring and crouches a little, hands on his knees, as "Rise to It" by KISS plays.

BDC walks to one of the turnbuckles and leans back into it and stretches his arms across the ropes - a bored and sarcastic expression on his face.

The crowd elicites a chorus of boos. The lights are beginning to flicker on and off as Blade, Branden Harvey, The Gambler, and Bobby Bodacious burst out from behind the curtains and onto the ramp.

Adam: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by the Elite Posse, weighing 140 pounds, Branden Harvey.

Steadily strutting towards the ring, they mock the fans on the way through. As Branden Harvey bullies the referee, the others begin to taunt the fans to a chorus of boos and jeers.

The Elite Posse leaves the ring, leaving only Branden and BDC. The bell rings.

BDC vs. Branden Harvey

[/u]

They lock up. BDC shoves Harvey with such force that Harvey slides under the bottom rope and out of the ring. Harvey is helped back up and encouraged by the Elite Posse. He gets back in the ring and goes to lock up with BDC. As they get close, Harvey kicks BDC in the gut and whips him into the ropes. BDC comes back with a clothesline, turning Harvey upside down and inside out. Harvey gets up and charges BDC. He gets a big boot. The same event happens two more times. Harvey is hurt by the three big boots. BDC puts him in a dragon sleeper.

Nailz: I think BDC has this one.

Beckett: As much as I love Branden Harvey's tactics, BDC is more than twice his size. He has no chance.

Harvey brings his leg up and hits BDc with a low blow. BDC is weakened and Harvey uses that to reverse the dragon sleeper into a hammerlock. BDC powers out, turns around, hooks Harvey, and hits a double arm DDT. He covers.

BDC celebrates in the ring while the Elite Posse helps Harvey out of the ring.

Adam: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

The lights go down as "Superstar" begins playing over the PA System. A spotlight shines down at the entrance of the aisle, where Bobby Bodacious is kneeling while wearing a robe and the Gambler stands behind him. The robe is sky blue with his name on it.

Adam: Introducing first, being accompanied by The Gambler, this is BOBBY BODACIOUS!

Bodacious stands up completely after approximately 20 seconds. As Bodacious heads to the ring, he makes sure to completely snob the fans. Bodacious enters the ring along with the Gambler, where he slowly takes his robe off, handing it off to an unknown employee at ringside. While handing off the robe, Bodacious makes sure to lecture the employee to be careful with the robe. He and Gambler then go over a game plan as they wait

The opening riffs of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath hits the PA and the fans quickly start cheering. Slowly, Chris Cyrus emerges from behind the entrance curtain and stands at the top of the stage, looking out at the crowd, embracing the cheers

Adam: From Las Vegas Nevada, weighing in at 240 pounds, Chris....CYRUS!

Chris begins making his way down to the ring, and slaps a few hands of the fans before he walks up the ring steps and enters the ring. Chris walks over to the corner and climbs up the middle rope and the crowd cheers him as he poses. Chris jumps back down into the ring and waits for the match to begin

Chris Cyrus Vs Bobby Bodacious / The Gambler


The Match begins with a lock up and Chris locks it a headlock on Bobby then takes him over to the mat, keeping the headlock locked in. Chris grinds the headlock and the fans cheer for it. Bobby battles to his feet and pushes Chris off into the ropes and takes him down with a drop toe hold. He grabs Chris leg and goes STF, but Chris gets to the ropes, breaking the hold. Both get up and square off again. They go for a lock up and Bobby boots Chris in the gut and sends him into the ropes. Bobby lifts Chris for a slam, but Chris lands behind Bobby, grabs Bobby, runs him into the ropes and rolls him up for a 2 count. They get up, Bobby goes for a clothesline but Chris ducks. Bobby turns and Chris takes him down with a clothesline and then another. Bobby gets back up and Chris runs to the ropes and Gambler grabs Chrises leg. Chris turns and has a few words for Gambler and Bobby goes over and dumps Chris over the top rope and to the floor. The crowd boo’s as the ref backs Bobby up and Bobby is distracting the ref long enough for Gambler to go to work on Chris, kicking him in the ribs a few times before rolling him back into the ring.

Nailz: Chris Cyurs has the numbers against him in this match. The Gambler will be the difference maker in this match

Beckett: I’m surprised that The Gambler is even allowed here at ringside

Bobby goes on the attack by stomping on Cyrus before lifting him up and chopping him in the corner. Bobby throws Chris to the opposite corner and Chris hits the corner hard and stumbles out of the corner. Bobby kicks him and snap suplexes him. He goes for a cover but gets a 2 count. Bobby takes Chris to the ropes and leans him throat first over the middle rope. Bobby distracts the ref allowing Bobby to choke Chris. Bobby takes Chris away from the ropes and then gives him a brain buster. He goes for a cover, but Cyrus again kicks out at 2. Bobby picks Chris up and sets him up for a Piledriver. He tries to pick Chris up, but Chris fights it and takes Bobby up and over with a back body drop. Bobby is up and Chris hits him with a spear and both guys are down

Nailz: This is Chrises chance to take control of this match

Beckett: The Gambler is still rooting Bodacious on here. Chris needs to be careful

Both Chris and Bobby are up and Chris punches Bobby then throws him into the ropes and gives him a spinning heel kick. Chris then throws Bobby to the corner, runs and connects with a clothesline followed by a Russian leg Sweep. Chris covers but only gets a 2 count. Chris picks Bobby up and gives him a back breaker and then goes up to the top rope. The ref ensures The Gambler stays away and Chris comes off with a Frog Splash and Bobby rolls out of the way. Chris is up holding his chest and Bobby connects with a super kick. Bobby covers

Beckett: Gambler cant be happy with what happened, but this was a much needed victory for Chris Cyrus

Stenfelder: The following contest is your APW Asylum Main Event Match, and it's scheduled for one fall!

The crowd is buzzing with anticipation for the coming match. On cue, the lights take on a blue tinge and 'Baby,' by PNAU, 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.

Stenfelder: Making her way to the ring first, from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 145 pounds, Sally Talfourd!

The fans are going crazy for Sally as she enters the ring.

Nailz: Earlier tonight, we saw an epic match-up between Nathaniel Havok and Shane Borderland! This match is the second part of the Tag Team Title Match preview!

Beckett: If this match is even half as good as the prior match, we're in for one heck of a contest!

The camera focuses on the stage as "I'm the Bad Influence" blares over the speakers. The fans stand in anticipation, waiting for Jason Kash to appear, but he's slow to come out. In fact, he's not coming at all! The ref motions for Adam Stenfelder to make the ring introduction, hoping that'll prompt Kash's entrance.

Stenfelder: And her opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 235 pounds, he is one half of the APW Tag Team Champions and the current APW Tap Out Champion, "The Bad Influence" Jason Kash!

Still no sign of Kash, as his music continues to play.

Nailz: Where the heck is Jason Kash?

Suddenly, the camera cuts backstage, where the cameraman is running up towards Nathaniel Havok laying the beatdown on Jason Kash in the back! He has Kash propped up against the wall, and is kneeing him hard in the face before pulling him up, grabbing Kash by the waist and head, and ramming him headfirst into a nearby garbage can! All of a sudden, the hall lights go out, and a strobe light starts to flash. The sillouette of a man can be seen tossing Havok out of the way, before picking up the garbage can and tossing it at "The Source of All Evil!"

Nailz: It looks like this mysterious man has run Nathaniel Havok off! Still, Havok had no business attacking Jason Kash here tonight! All partners were banned from ringside for this contest!

Beckett: But he didn't attack Kash at ringside, he attacked him backstage! And just who is this mystery man, and why does he have a strobelight backstage!?

Sally looks confused and upset in the ring as the strobe lights continue to flash in the back.

Nailz: Well, I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but it looks like Sally Talfourd versus Jason Kash won't be taking place tonight. That's a real shame!

The mysterious man helps Kash up as APW Asylum cuts to a commercial break.

[reginald]

The lights cut out and we see flashing strobe lights through the arena . Static fills the arena as the crowd is filled with anticipation. Quickly the sound changes to Down with the Sickness by Disturbed.

Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah

“Drowning deep min my sea of loathing,
Broken your servant I kneel.
It seems what’s left on my human side
Is slowly changing in me.”

The strobe lights slow. Then the pace of the lights speed up again.

“Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes.
Oh no, there’s no turning back now….”

The lights come back on full force as Kash is seen seated on the ramp, and our mysterious assailant from before is standing two feet behind him with a microphone and continues the lyric in a spoken tone.

“You’ve woken up the Demon.”

Kash spins around and makes his way back up, ready to fight before dropping his fists, and shoving the much larger man back a few steps. The man smiles back at him, almost laughing. Kash looks slightly relieved, before the two extend a hand shake and the man begins speaking again.

Man: “Yes, its true. The Demon has been awaken again, out of a near 4 year slumber by the desire to once again wreak havoc on unexpected arrogant bastards who think they are the top of the wrestling community. I tracked down my friend Jason Kash here, on Asylum, and decided what a better place to make my return. But I thought I owed a quick explanation here tonight before I left the building.

“For starters Shane Borderland… don’t think for a minute I’m trying to intrude on your partnership with Jason Kash. I don’t play that way, but I will be watching his back, and yours by association.

“Second, my attack last week, some of you with brains larger than raisins may have figured this out by now, yeah, it was botched. I can deal with darkness, I can deal with light, that was the first time I tried attacking someone in strobe lights, and it through me off a bit. Jason Kash was never intended to be my target, and I hope my gift to him earlier makes up for that.

“Asylum is officially on notice. I’m here to operate a way an influential mind should operate… on my own terms, and that means for APW… the times of darkness has officially began.”

The music kicks up again on the loud speaker as the Demon climbs over the ropes after one more quick handshake with Jason Kash.

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me.

I see inside you the sickness is rising,
Demon try to deny what you feel
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me.

Nailz: Well, we've found out who the mystery man is! It seems his name is The Demon!

Beckett: What I want to know is what is the nature of his relationship with Jason Kash!

[The scene cuts backstage where Nathaniel Havok is knocking on the locker-room door of Ms. Sally Talfourd. She opens the door quickly, but doesn’t look too pleased. The two go inside, as Havok has a smirk across his face.]

Sally: Well, are you happy now?

Havok: Pretty much, yeah.

Sally: This is ridiculous! I can understand wanting some revenge, but what you did was unacceptable!

Havok: Now why is that? I’m supposed to let him get away with ruining the biggest night in my APW career? I’m supposed to ignore the fact that I allowed him to even get that close to me? No, I won’t! I did what I had to do, Sally. It’s not like you lost the match, anyways. It was thrown out, he couldn’t compete. So take it easy, babe!

Sally: Don’t call me babe! Do I look like a babe…

[Nathaniel smirks at Sally again.]

Sally: Don’t answer that. I can be a babe, or I can be a bitch. It’s your call. But regardless of what they did to you, that’s not the way I get revenge!

Havok: Okay, Sally! Tell me, how would you do it? Please, tell me what kind of girl power approach you would have given.

Sally: I would have waited until Shockwave. I would have…

Havok: I know what you’re going to say, and taking their championships just isn’t enough retribution for me.

Sally: Don’t interrupt me. I wasn’t finished. Personally, I would have waited until we were in the ring. Waited until the referee was in a blind spot, and kicked Jason Kash right in the grapefruits!

[Nathaniel looks at Sally with a painful reaction.]

Havok: Oh, ouch, yeah, gotchya, okay, I’m sorry. To avoid future nut shots, I’m sorry.

Sally: That-a-boy. And thanks for clearing up that Airport rumor, earlier this week. Even though you cause quite a stir with your promo...

The scene fades back to ringside, where Reginald Schmidt is already in the ring.

Reginald: Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to be the first to apologize for the unfortunate circumstances that led to the cancelation of our main event match up here tonight! It's a crying shame that Havok thinks he can do whatever he wants, so I'm making it official that for the August 14th edition of Asylum, Nathaniel Havok is officially banned from the arena!

This draws some cheers from the crowd.

Reginald: And now I don't think it's fair to punish Sally Talfourd for her partner's actions, so rather than go with conventional wisdom and book her in a handicap match against both Shane Borderland and Jason Kash for our next show, instead, she will merely be facing Shane Borderland with Jason Kash as the special guest Announcer. That being said, if Nathaniel Havok tries to get involved in any way, shape or form, he and Sally will be stripped of their Tag Team Title Shot!

This gets some loud boos from the fans, and a loud "SALLY! SALLY!" chant gets going.

Reginald: I am no longer going to stand around and let this show run out of control! I am a General Manager who takes charge! Which is why I'm calling for both BDC and Rico Casteel to get their keisters out here right now!

White neon lights flicker throughout the arena and "Fallout" by Alter Bridge blasts from the arena's PA system. The crowd boo loudly as the man, the myth, the legend BDC walks from behind the curtain and stands at the top of the ramp. The APW - Tron shows the Welsh National Flag, and red, white and green pyro shoot high into the air and he then heads toward the ring. He climbs over the top rope and proceeds to climb each turnbuckle one at a time, raising his right arm in the air. BDC calls for a mic.

BDC: If you think for a moment that I expect that chicken $#*^ coward Rico Casteel to explain his actions for last week, then you don't know me very well. Fact is, I've been in this business long enough to know that Rico Casteel feels threatened by me, and that's why he's doing everything in his power to make sure I don't get named the Number One Contender for the APW World Heavyweight Title!

"Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begins to plat as APW Heavyweight champion Rico Casteel comes out from the back to a massive amount of boos from the crowd. He stops at the top of the ramp, the title around his waist, soaking up the jeers while keeping his eyes on Reginald and BDC inside of the ring.

Nailz: And here comes our World champion.

As Rico reaches the ring and begins to make his way up the steel steps, still glaring at Reginald, the General Manager takes a few steps back toward the far ropes, putting BDC between himself and Rico. As the World champion enters, he grabs a microphone, a smile on his face. For his part, BDC keeps his gaze firmly on the champ.

Rico: You're getting smarter, Reginald. The last thing you want to do is dig yourself a deeper hole on my bad side, right?

Reginald opens his mouth to speak, but Rico continues.

Rico: After all, you have done nothing but try and make sure I never got a chance to stand where I currently stand. You refused to give me the Heavyweight title shot I deserved, so you made me jump through your hoops to earn it. You forced me into a Battle Royal at Rasslemania to earn my shot, and when I not only won it, but dominated it, you decided to turn my rightful shot into some sort of bastardized event when you not only threw Isamu Suzuki into it, but you also put my title on the line.

Rico sneers as BDC rolls his eyes.

Rico: And as we all know, I was never pinned, submitted or knocked out in that match, unlike the man who held this title before me. And then when I got the chance at the Heavyweight title, the chance I should have had all along, James Chambers tucks his tail between his legs and runs away, and you still refused to name me the champion, even though I was the rightful number one contender. So you threw your last hoop in my way when you fed me Chris Cyrus at Test for the Best, who I disposed of easily. And now...

Rico eyes BDC.

Rico: Now you're willing to just name this sorry excuse for a man the number one contender, willingly? You made me earn my title shot at every turn, and yet, you're just going to hand it to this piece of sh--.

Reginald: Hold on there, Rico. Who says I'm naming BDC the number one contender?

Rico glares at Reginald for interrupting him.

BDC: Well if you aren't, why have you brought us both out here?

Reginald: To help settle your differences. You've been throwing words around and you've been at each others throats the past few weeks. And as a General Manager who takes charge of his show, I just can't allow that!

Reginald gulps as he spits out that last sentence, clearing showing that he's intimidated.

Rico: Because he isn't willing to follow the rules and recognize me as the true and proper king of this Asylum. He still thinks that he has a right to claim himself a worthy adversary to my title. To my throne. To my livelihood.

BDC: I lay claim to all of that, because it's all going to happen. I've done my fair share in my career to know that I have not only earned a title shot, but earned a chance to step into the ring against you. I've made a living earning everything I've gotten, and if I wanted it bad enough, I would just take it. So don't be surprised if I end up taking your title away from you, as well.

Rico sneers as BDC smiles back.

Rico: You talk tough, old man, but just remember one thing. You're in my kingdom now, you're in my asylum. We don't play by the same rules you're used to. Around here, we play by my rules.

BDC: Oh, I've played by your kind of rules before, and I am well prepared for whatever you have to throw my way. Because I've got my eyes set on that title.

The two men stand toe to toe, jawing at one another, both filled with intensity. Rico taps the title over his shoulder and BDC bumps him backward with a bit of a shove. Reginald tries to get between the two to break things up, but he is shoved aside as Rico lunges forward, punching BDC, who fires back with his own shots. The title falls to the mat as BDC and Rico battle around the ring, eventually with BDC backing Rico into the corner while Reginald continues to yell at them to stop.

Rico gets his knee up into BDC's gut and hits a few forearms onto his back before another knee to the gut. BDC backs out of the corner, as Rico readies himself.

Nailz: This could be it. This could be the Knock Out Punch!

Rico swings, but BDC ducks out of the way, and Rico's punch connects with Reginald, knocking him down in a heap. Rico glares down at Reginald before getting clotheslined from behind by BDC knocking him to the ground. Before anything else can happen, Rico rolls out of the ring, pulling his World Heavyweight title with him. BDC glares out at Rico, before shaking his head and making a motion of walking away.

Beckett: BDC trying to get in the champs head.

Rico moves to return and BDC steps forward, causing Rico to hold still. Reginald is slowly stirring on his hands and knees, and BDC smiles before bicking the General Manager up. He points out at Rico.

Nailz: This can't be good...

Beckett: The Black Out!

BDC stands back up smiling at Rico, who is staring a hole in BDC himself. The two men continue to stare at one another before Rico smirks, winks, and pats the World title that is once again over his shoulder.

Beckett: Well, if BDC isn't officially the Number One Contender after that display, he might as well be!

Nailz: Things are certainly heating up between BDC and Rico Casteel! Unfortunately, that's all the time we have for tonight! We'll see you in two weeks for another exciting episode of APW Asylum!
