Chaotic way to start the show. First with everybody coming out of the woodwork for a chance at the title, then the S.H.I. segment. OMG~! Typo. It said Josh instead of Tony. But another wild COD promo, this time courtesy of K.I.D. Had me laughing throughout. Great stuff Patty. Haven't checked out PR's stuff because at the time I wrote the feedback last night it hadn't been edited in yet. Will check on it later. Great nearfall in the World tag title match. Alf continues to deliver with Team Heyross. The S.H.I. payoff provided a laugh, and the tease at the end was cool. Really liked PK's promo, he came off as a jerk. Oh man, that GPX segment was great. The stuff about Krista's Christmas hating was hilarious. The Dream Machine explosion was good while it lasted. Wouldn't mind seeing them go at it again. PK's change of behavior has been handled nicely. KC did a good job with the Black T-CW/Bo segment. Quite possibily the shortest ME in HD history, but for somebody who's just getting back into the thick of things it was a fine effort. Solid edition of TLS. Some hilarious lines in there.

Close-up of Tony Schiavone standing in front of the interview position backstage. SCHIAVONE One of the big matches just signed for November Reign on the 27th of the month will be an 8-Man elimination tag team match featuring the Heavenly Rockers and Sooner Bruisers against my guests at this time... The camera pulls back to reveal Jim Cornette, smirking and stroking his trademark tennis racket but still wearing a neckbrace (the man believes in selling), an arrogant New New Midnight Express and an imposing South Central Militia with their valet Shyanne. SCHIAVONE (CONT'D) ...the New New Midnight Express and the South Central Militia, along with James E. Cornette and Shyanne. Lots of bad blood involving the 8 men who will be involved in that tag match, the reprecussions of the on-going feud between The Heavenly Rockers and Jim Cornette Enterprises, specifically the New New Midnight Express. CORNETTE First of all, Tony Schiavone, the OAOAST should have The Heavenly Rockers arrested for coming out here last week and killing their ratings, not to mention every stray dog and cat in America with their albums! You talk about an on-going feud between The Heavenly Rockers and Jim Cornette Enterprises. The way I see it this feud, like St. Elsewhere, is the imagination of a mentally challenged person, that being Synth and Logan. And when it's all said and done, The Heavenly Rockers will wish they were elsewhere. Because time and time again my Midnight Express have embarrassed those wannabe rock stars with not just their good looks but with their wrestling ability as well. The Heavenly Rockers might have every girl in the world with their poster on their wall, but the Midnight Express and South Central Militia are forever etched in the mind of the one girl who matters...Holly-Wood. Hahaha! NED I take it you haven't gotten over that fateful summer night, huh, Logan? The night your dream girl found herself in an orgy of violence. I bet you can't stand the fact Holly wakes up in the middle of the night with chills from having seen the Handsome Hustler in her dream. Well, I got news for ya, buddy -- love it! I know she did. Apparently all she needed to realize I'm the one for her was to get spiked on her head a couple of times by the foxiest honey in South Central L.A., Shyanne. The phone calls, the e-mails and text messages -- they've all shot up. When you think she's freshing herself up in the bathroom, she really's getting down and dirty to a pic of my handsome self. Our little game is coming to an end. I'm gonna end up with the girl, Logan, you're just gonna continue what you're doing right now...walk around with a broken heart. SIMON Synth, Logan, Holly, I want you to listen up real good. You think we've made your life a living hell in the past? Just wait until what we have in store for you in the future. Look at what we've already done. Synth, you're considered the wildchild of the group, a man who marches to the beat of his own drum. Now you can't even beat your own damn drum because we broken your stinkin' arm again! Then you got Holly-Wood. Just like you, karma's a bitch, ain't it, Holly? You cause Jimmy Cornette months of pain and expensive medical bills by DDT'ing him multiple times, and now you're the one suffering while Jim gets better and better and richer and richer with each passing day. As for Logan, what more can be said? You're a loser! You're scum! You're an embarrassment to all of mankind! You're gonna wind up some has-been like former N'SYNC member JC Chavez writing songs about the woman who got away and went with a real man, a champion. You 3 should've stayed home with your head between your legs and live with the fact the better team kicked your asses. Retire with some dignity! All you've done is earned yourselves another ass-kicking! We've broken your bones, your heart, now all that's left to break is your spirit. Then Ned and I will take that next step and become the first 3-time World tag team champions. The SCM and Shyanne shoot Simon a "Whatcha talkin' 'bout, little fella?" type look. Simon responds with a smile and big thumbs up. SCHIAVONE Now let's turn things over to your partners at November Reign, Marcellus Wallace and Vincent Santana, The South Central Militia. You're coming off a big win, albeit controversial, over the Sooner Bruisers at World Without End. Your take on the big 8-Man elimination coming up on the 27th. VINCENT Money makes the world go 'round, Fat Tony. When Jimmy "Crack" Cornette approached us with an offer we couldn't refuse, we took the job and did it. It just so happens these Heavenly Rockers have bigger cajones than we thought. We'll give you boys credit, ain't no one come back wanting to fight after crossing our path. Whether it's all the drugs you've done or you're just a couple crazy bastards, you better live life to the fullest because the sand in the hour glass is running out. Your wrestling careers won't be the only thing finished after we're done with you, so will your so-called music career. MARCELLUS That ain't just some threat, Synth and Logan. Nobody said we could beat The Sooner Bruisers. The Sooners are on a roll, they said. They'll out-wrestle you. The Sooners bitched and moaned like the farmer's daughters that they are, calling us out, saying a couple of bamas punk'd out two bad asses from the hood. What happened tough guys? What happened?! For starters, they found out the farm was thataway because when they crossed our turf, we made 'em squeal like Porky F'N' Pig! We did things to them in that match people thought was only possible in a prison drama. Now at November Reign, we're gonna stand beside the White Men Express like a band of brothers and fight the power. CORNETTE Logan, you may no longer live by your motto of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, but, brother, the Midnight Express and South Central Militia still live by their motto of blood, guts, violence and intimidation! SCHIAVONE That's it from here. Back to you at Sofa Central.

Yes and no. Remember when I questioned having COD defend their titles prior to AM because I thought it took away from the AC winners? Months later it hit me. The AC should of been for a title match at the biggest show of the year, not for the #1 contendership. Much manly man love to those who've offered their services to write matches. I got some of our best and brightest onboard.

No. After what happened last year, with the whole why should the losers of the tournament get a shot at the title before the #1 contenders, I've changed the stip to where the winner gets a shot at the tag titles at AM instead. Blonde and Faqu are on the bubble. If a face team is replaced, they'd be the first to go. The same for NRG on the heel side.

Consider them in. I also like the "Samoan Tsunami" nickname. All I need now is 2 more teams. Team Heyross is high on my want list. I'm determined to get them paired up with the Sooner Bruisers at some point. I'll push them past the opening round to get that done if need be. I'd also like to know how many of you guys would be up for writing some matches? I'm pretty sure I can count on Eski, what about the rest? I could have a tournament bracket up by the end of the week, or sometime next if I get lazy.

I'm hoping for at least 16 teams, if not then it would go down to 8 like last year. Here's what I have so far...so good! HEELS: Black T GPX PR/SJP Christian Wright & Bo Team Heyross SCM NRG FACES: Love Doctors Los Diablos de Fuego Lonestar Gunslingers (making OAOAST debut) Sk8ter Boiz Heavenly Rockers Sooner Bruisers Blonde/Faqu Glory By Anarchy TBD TK/Reject Total: 16 Questionable: The Usual Suspects Hell's Hitmen COD Desperation: Los Conquistadors

Because some is better than none, especially in my case, this week's feedback. Good opening promo from the new champ. So a new belt is on the way, huh? Or back to big goldie? Aww, I'm gonna miss the CSI name, but hears to S.H.I. Dream Machines explode...next week. What more can you say about the skits Patty writes for Alix? Hilarious pre-match promo. Fun little match as well. Really enjoyed the S.H.I.-Team Heyross match. We gotta run a Sooner Bruisers-Moss/Benjamin match sometime. Both teams with amateur backgrounds. Alf's promo at the end has me interested in the direction his character is going in. Fine ME. The referee was very lenient in not calling for a DQ once my character interfered. But I like how SJ basically stabbed PR, his only support, if you will, in the back and cheated to win. MOTN: S.H.I. vs. Team Heyross.

While we're at it... Zack, permission for Los Diablos to have a match with The GPX in the upcoming weeks, sir? Hey, it might allow you an opportunity to write for two of your babies. KC, if possible, I'd like to use Los Conquistadors for a feud with Los Diablos.

* DING DING * BUFFER The following contest is set for one fall. Making their way to the ring, accompanied by their manager Jim Cornette, weighing 460 pounds, "Sarcastic" Simon Singleton and the "Handsome Hustler" Ned Blanchard, the New New Midnight EXXXpreSSSSS! Jim Cornette leads the New New Midnight Express to the ring admist a chorus of boos as "Chase" plays in the background. Ned doing his best to shield the left side of his face from the cameras, not wanting to show the bandage on his forehead. COLE As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the "Handsome Hustler" Ned Blanchard sporting a battle scar from his encounter with Logan Mann at World Without End. COACH His encounter? You mean from the sucker punch he took. Logan hit him with a chain-wrapped fist. COLE Some would say Ned had it coming. COACH Others would say it was a cheapshot. CABOOSE For those who don't know what the less fortunate members of Triple C are talking about, order the encore presentations of World Without End that are airing this week and see the return of the Heavenly Rockers. It was one of the most loudest reactions I've ever heard. COLE Not only did the Heavenly Rockers return at World Without End, but it was the involvement of the New New Midnight Express during the Sooner Bruisers-South Central Militia bout that General Manager Calvin Szechstein signed this match for tonight. CUE: "Frankenstein" BUFFER And their opponents. From the state of Oklahoma, weighing 525 pounds, the Sooner BrUUUUisers! The Psycho Gremlin sprints to the ring and runs around ringside while the Man of Tomorrow stops to pose for the camera, flexing his biceps. Cornette and the Midnights bail as Frankie dives into the ring and goes after them on his hands and knees. Referee Nick Patrick stepping in and calming the Psycho Gremlin. COLE Despite a controversial defeat this past Sunday at World Without End, the Sooner Bruisers have shot up the tag team rankings. They're one of the many teams who'd love a shot at the World Tag Team Titles. The Heavenly Rockers being the lastest to throw their hat into the race. After a final strategy session, which Jim Cornette bars the cameraman from filming, Cornette gives his men a pair of high-five's as he exits. On the other side of the ring, Frank psyche's himself up by running in place while Frank stretches -- pulling on the top rope, etc. * DING DING * The crowd roars as we're set to get underway. Frank and Hustler Ned start. The Handsome Hustler taunts Frank by flexing his muscles. As if that weren't insult to injury, he even jiggles his pecs. To the disappointment of fans worldwide, the actions of Ned doesn't result in an impromptu posedown. Instead, Frank wants to lockup. It doesn't take long for Frank to show off his amateur wrestling skills, grabbing a front facelock out of a go-behind waistlock. He brings Blanchard back up to his feet and flips him over with a single underhook suplex. The self-profess "Man of Tomorrow" tries following up with a single-leg takedown, but the scouting reports of Jim Cornette pay off here, as Ned shocks everyone in the arena by hitting 90210 COLE Frank got caught off-guard by the enzurigi. What a huge shocker this would be if Ned is able to finish Frank off so early. ONE... T-- Frank presses Ned up in the air and over Nick Patrick, but the Handsome Hustler is quickly able to get back on his feet and deck the powerhouse with a sidekick. Blanchard struts around Frank, then reaches down and picks him up by the hair, paint-brushing the bleach blond bruiser. The lack of respect fires Frank up, who counters an Irish whip with a Soonerline. Frank drops down and screams in Ned's ear while doing pushups. Blanchard retreats to his corner, reaching up for the tag, which is accepted by Sarcastic Simon. Singleton steps through the ropes, grinning from ear to ear as he points to the "Psycho Gremlin" standing on the ring apron, HOWLING. "OW, OW, OW, OW, OWWWWWWWWWW!" COLE The fans want the tag. Frankie wants the tag. And big brother Frank gives him the tag. The crowd howls in unison as the Psycho Gremlin gets set for action for the first time tonight. Frank rubs his younger brother's belly on the way out. Smirking, Frankie rubs his hands together, ready to go. Collar-and-elbow tie-up into a side headlock. Simon, thinking as through he has Frankie right where he wants him, begins heckling Frank, who smirks back at him. That's when Frankie lifts Simon up and throws him into the corner. Singleton kicks the bottom rope in embarrassment. He wants to lock back up with Frankie. Again, Simon applies a side headlock out of the collar-and-elbow tie-up. But almost immediately Frankie shoves him off to the ropes and knocks him down with a shoulder block. Simon pops up and hits the near side, again being knocked off his feet with a shoulder block. That doesn't stop Singleton from trying a third time, but Frankie is waiting with something different. It doesn't work, however, as Simon avoids the clothesline, both men's momentum taking them running to opposite ends of the ring. Simon tries to avoid running head-on into Frankie by leapfrogging over him...but he gets caught in midair with a POWERSLAM! ONE... TWO-- Simon slides underneath the lackadaisical cover. Frankie nails him getting up with a right hand, backing Simon into the corner and whipping him to the one across the ring, following in with a Soonerline. Simon stumbles out and drops to a knee, shaking off the cobwebs while Frankie pulls himself up onto the middle rope, looking for the top rope bulldog, but Ned sprints over and grabs ahold of the foot. Frankie kicks Ned off the apron. The Psycho Gremlin sets himself on the top rope...and is DROPKICKED in midair by Sarcastic Simon! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" COLE Simon quickly covers. ONE... TWO-- Frankie just gets the shoulder up. Simon stomps Frankie in the sternum before picking him up and ramming him into the top turnbuckle in the NNMX corner. The fans "WHOO" with every knife-edge chop. After an exchange is made, Hustler Ned steps in and works the body and head over with various martial art blows. Blanchard snapmares Frankie out of the corner and connects with a double-axehandle to the back of the neck. Singleton is tagged back in, and he immediately ascends to the top. TOP ROPE KNEEDROP! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Simon scoopes Frankie up and throws him over the top rope to the floor. The New New Midnight Express create a deverison by engaging in a simulating conversation with Nick Patrick about global warming while Corny stomps Frankie outside. It doesn't take long, however, for Frank to go to the aid of his brother, chasing away a waddling James E. who hides behind Ned. COLE Oh yeah, Cornette's a big boy when he's hitting somebody while they're down, but when they're face to face he cowers in fear. COACH You never know when Frank'll go into roid rage. James E. would rather be safe than sorry. The Coach can't believe him. Frank berates the referee as he's ecsorted away, leaving the NNMX to double-team Frankie on the floor. The Midnights scoope Frankie up and drop him throatfirst on the guardrail, then hold him up for Cornette to whack across the back with the TENNIS RACKET. Frank sends the Midnights and Cornette scampering as he frees himself from the referee. The chase leads all 4 men into the ring, with Cornette quickly bailing out and leaving his Midnight Express to take care of Frank. Simon and Ned put the boots to the Man of Tomorrow as he dives into the ring. Frank brought back to his feet and pumpeled in the ropes with punches and chops. The Midnights each grab Frank by a wrist and fire him to the ropes. Frank avoids a double reverse back elbow and then a clothesline, leading to his Soonerlining of Hustler Ned while Sarcastic Simon slides underneath and wipes out Frankie with a baseball slide. Nick Patrick threatens a disqualification if Frank doesn't get out of the ring by the count of 5. Frank grudgingly obliges. Frankie is tossed back inside the ring, where the NNMX make another exchange. Slingshot kneedrop to the forehead by Ned. He follows up with a double underhook suplex for two. COLE The New New Midnight Express with yet another tag. The Sooner Bruisers have yet to make one since the opening minutes of this match. Jim Cornette preaches a certain style. Like a Bill Parcells of the National Football League, who loves to run the ball and wear down the opposing defense, Jim Cornette loves for his teams to work over one man a majority of the match and keep him isolated in their side of the ring. And the New New Midnight Express have done just that so far tonight. TOP ROPE FLYING ELBOW by Sarcastic Simon gets a two count. He brings Frankie back up and rams him into the top turnbuckle, but Frankie glances over at Simon with a smile, having absord the blow. Simon responds with a right hand, then rams Frankie back into the turnbuckle for a second time. Frankie once again absords the blow. He begins ramming himself repeatedly into the turnbuckle before nailing Simon with a right and sending him facefirst into the turnbuckle! Frankie rams Simon in the top, middle and bottom turnbuckles 3 times a piece before driving him facefirst into the canvas for #10. Frankie acknowledges the howls from the fans by howling back at them. As he does so Ned clobbers him from behind with a running kneelift, sending Frankie crashing into the corner. Blanchard rocks the Psycho Gremlin with quick jabs, then looks to whip him to the ropes, but Frankie counters by yanking Ned into his arms and taking him over with a belly-to-belly suplex. With both Midnights down everything is in place for Frankie to make the tag, but as he nears his corner Sarcastic Simon clips him from behind, taking out the right leg, the very leg Frankie uses to spring off of to give his Soonerlines added pop. Simon drags Frankie back over to the NNMX corner and drops a series of elbows across the right leg of the Psycho Gremlin. Frankie tries punching his way out of the hold, but a couple of back elbows from Simon put an end to that. Tag made, the Handsome Hustler stepping back in and draping the leg over the bottom rope, leaping up and crashing all his weight down on the knee. Jim Cornette reaches under the bottom rope and lock hands with Ned, giving him added leverage for his FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK. COACH You think Frankie's favorite cereal is Rice Krispies? COLE I don't know. Why? COACH Because his leg's about to go snap, crackle and pop! Bwahahahaha! COLE Ugh! Frank is going nuts on the apron, telling Nick Patrick to turn around. When he does Cornette has already let go of Ned, though he still questions James E., and as one would expect, Cornette denies all charges. Cornette whoops outside, taunting the crowd as Ned SLAPS Frankie, demanding he quit. CABOOSE Somebody should tell Ned now isn't the time to anger Frankie. All he's going to do is revive his fighting spirit. And that's exactly what happens. The adreanline begins flowing. With big brother leading the cheers from the apron Frankie OVERTURNS the Figure-Four. Unlike other wrestlers who continue to hold onto the submission long after it's been reversed, Ned breaks immediately. Blanchard is alert enough to keep his legs wrapped between Frankie's so that he won't escape to make the tag. Ned reaches up and Simon over for the tag. Nick claps his hands overhead, signaling a tag has been made. Simon drags Frankie to the corner ringpost and bashes the leg across it. He then takes Frankie back towards the center of the ring and reapplies the FIGURE-- NO! Frankie shoves him off to the corner with his free leg and Simon butts heads with his partner on the apron. *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap* COLE The crowd knows now's the time for Frankie to make the tag. CABOOSE Can he, though? How much damage did his knee sustained? COACH Not enough as the brain-damage, I guarantee. Frank crawls to his corner, inch by inch on his belly-welly and... ...MAKES THE TAG~! THE HOT TAG~! The crowd erupts as the tag is made, the Man of Tomorrow coming back in and having his way. He decks Singleton with a running forearm smash to the face. Blanchard tries getting in a cheapshot but Frank blocks his punch and hits an inverted atomic drop followed by a Soonerline. Frank flexes the bicep before kissing the peak and drops the elbow down on the Handsome Hustler. Ned rolls out of the ring. Simon nails Frank from behind. Singleton traps the Sooner in the ropes and unleashes a fury of right hands and knife-edge chops, but has his Irish whipped reversed. TILT-A-WHIRL SLAM! COLE You know what's next. The crowd certainly does. Frank scoopes Simon up and fires him to the ropes. THE FRANKENSTEINER! ONE... TWO... THREE--NO! THE SOUTH CENTRAL MILITIA hit the ring and attack the Sooner Bruisers. Nick Patrick calls for the bell, and then is decked by Vincent Santana. Marcellus Wallace wails away on Frank while Ned and Vincent stomp Frankie in the corner, all while Jim Cornette directs traffic. COLE Again it's a 4 on 1 attack. The Sooner Bruisers absolutely helpless out there. "YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" COLE THE HEAVENLY ROCKERS ARE HERE! Synth and Logan sprint to the ring wielding chairs. The Midnights get out of the ring as fast as they can while the SCM calmly step out like they did at World Without End. An INTENSE~ staredown ensues with the Heavenly Rockers, New New Midnight Express and SCM. Security storms the ring in droves to keep things under control. COLE The situation between these 4 teams is bound to explode. And so will our director if we don't take this break. HeldDOWN~! will return after this quick time out.

NNMX vs. Sooner Bruisers

The pre and post Love Shack were fun to read. The ending was a bit chaotic but other than that I thought the opening match came off okay. I had no stats to go on other than Los Diablos were a tag luchador tag team in pink masks. Cryptic Message: Post the damn specs Zack! At least Los Diablos are now officially faces. As usual, PR brings the content. The amount of work he can pump out is amazing. I have a hard time getting a match and promo done. My have the Sk8ter Boiz fallen. It makes sense though. They got hot at the right time and won the tag titles, now they've come back down to earth. Good tag match. To see what the women's division has come to compared to what it's normally been -- hardly much -- is a testement to the men and women behind the scenes. Damn. That sounds like something J.R. would write. And I'm not talking about J.R. Ewing. Great World Tag Team Title match. On a semi-related note, I was thisclose to using "Beverly Hills" as the solo theme for Ned. Came across it while scanning DirecTV's Music Choice package. More feedback to come later. But congrats to Popick for becoming World Champion.

Sorry about that Parka. I've added you to the credits. Again, sorry.

But, wait, the show's not over yet, because we're back at The Love Shack! RODEZ Alright! Leon Rodez here tying up some last minute, loose ends, here at The Shack. World Without End is in the books. A good time was had by all. People laughed. People cried. The GPX got their asses beat, two out of three falls. I'm still the World Tag Team Champion, natch. Unfortunately, my guests on The Shack from earlier weren't quite so successful tonight. But being the kind, compassionate guy that I am, I've decided to let them back, regardless of their crushing defeat. The Marv, Hell Mel, get on in here! The Sk8ter Boiz, looking particuarly beat up from earlier and both holding their necks, walk onto the set and sit themselves down. RODEZ Now guys, earlier we were here and you guys were talking about who you are, what you were going to do tonight, who you were rocking, all that good stuff. But I know you guys are pretty beat up right now, so we'll cut to the chase. You guys look pretty down. HELL MEL Yeah, tonight was a real bummer. THE MARV Totally. We were riding the wave of momentum but then...we bailed. So, yeah, we're pretty down. RODEZ Well, that sucks. But, cheer up guys, because I've got it on good authority that there's a few Halloween themed parties going on around the clubs. And it's half price if someone in the group is dressed in Halloween gear...so, since Zack doesn't want to dress up and the ladies aren't going to dig on me while I'm dressed like Marilyn Monroe, you guys are coming with us! THE MARV YEAH!?! HELL MEL RADICAL!! THE MARV What costumes are we going to wear though? Raising an eyebrow, Rodez muses for a moment. RODEZ You mean...those are your actual clothes? The Sk8ter Boiz glance down at their baggy skater gear, despondently, as Rodez realises he's placed his foot firmly in his mouth. RODEZ ...join us, Thursday night, HeldDOWN in Pensacola, Florida. I've never heard of the place personally, but we'll be there anyway and it promises to be great, as always. Then again, I have to say that. But, honestly, watch it. Leon Rodez, signing out. Sk8ter Boiz...uh...I'm sorry? And this has been World Without End which, ironically, has come to an end. Peace out!

OAOAST Productions, Proudly Presents... #~~THE LOVE SHACK~~# RODEZ ¡Ola, mon peeps! Yes, that's right, your eyes are not decieving you. We're kicking off tonight with what you paid your hard earned money to see...talking! Love Shack talking! And I've got to tell you all, I am excited. More excited than Rick Heyross at a WWE used gimmick auction. Because tonight, here at World Without End, me and the jolly jock, The Zackster himself, Zack Malibu are going to kick it, two out of three falls style with The GPX for the OAOAST World Tag Team Championships. And...speaking of the World Tag Team Championships, that leads me in nicely to my guests this evening. You might remember them as The Nerdlys...but if you do, please do the booking committee a favour and forget. For now, they are skaters. They are Hell Mel and The Marv...they are The Sk8ter Boiz! Cue the piped in applause track, as The Sk8ter Boiz skate onto the set. Rodez gives them both a Jerry Lynn style double 'RAWK~' hang signal, before they kick up their boards and sit themselves down, still looking a little over-awed at the occassion. RODEZ I'm Leon Rodez and this is Jacka...I mean, The Love Shack. And Marv, Mel, welcome. It's really 'radical' to see you 'dudes' here. Now, obviously, you guys are the former World Tag Team Champions and, before we go any further, I just wanna say "no hard feelings" about me and Zack winning at TLC. THE MARV Right back at ya bro. No shame in losing to someone like you and someone like Zack. RODEZ Well, thank you. It's good to know there's no grudge, despite the fact that you must be heartbroken every morning when you wake up and turn on the light by your bedside to find no championship belt beside you. And despite the fact you must feel naked and depressed without the Tag Titles around your waists. And despite the fa... Rodez happens to glance up and notices the Boiz looking glum. RODEZ I mean...uh...SO, how about that new Tony Hawks game, huh? Suddenly, a cough from off screen interrupts The Silky Smooth One and draws him to look up, noticing Zack Malibu stepping onto the set. RODEZ Zack Malibu ladies and gentlemen! MALIBU What are you doing man? We've got tactics to talk. We've got The GPX in...(looks at watch)...under 3 hours now. RODEZ I know man, but I've got contractual obligations of a different kind here. The Love Shack thing? Remember? And I wanna get this out of the way before we deal with The GPX so we can go out and party tonight, assuming we win of course. Which is a problem if you're interrupting me again. MALIBU I am interrupting again, yeah. RODEZ At least you wore a shirt this time. Look, I haven't even asked these guys about the World Tag Titles yet. MALIBU Instead of asking The Sk8ter Boiz about the World Tag Team Titles, shouldn't YOU be worrying about the titles yourself? RODEZ (sighs) I guess you've got a point. Marv, Mel, maybe we can pick things up later. Hey, you could even tag along with us to the clubs tonight if you're not horrifically crippled and carted off to the hospital. So, anyway, as someone who's had run-ins with Bohemoth and O'Hara, I wanna wish you good luck tonight. Give 'em hell, Mel...and Marv. These guys have been the Sk8ter Boiz and I guess I'll see ya later boiz. Leon Rodez, signing out and now, let's take you to a really cool video package that's really cool because it features me! (turns to Zack) So, what's the plan, man? -FADE OUT- -AND FADE IN- DAN BLACK The OAOAST was built around us. ZACK MALIBU We made this company what it is today.

The camera zooms around the fans briefly, before settling somewhere near the entrance way where, of course, Jesse Ventura and Tony Schiavone are dressed like idiots. Hey, it's Halloween. Well...actually, Jesse looks pretty good, wearing a suit with some sort of badge on the breast. Which makes poor Tony look even more stupid as a vampire. Poor guy. SCHIAVONE It's October 30th, 2005 and we welcome you to the OAOAST and to World Without End 2005! Tony Schiavone, standing alongside Jesse "The Body" Ventur... VENTURA That's where you're wrong Schiavone! It's PRESIDENT Ventura to you! And I suggest you keep that in mind when talking to me! Or else, I might just have to extradite you somewhere where you won't bother me! How does Outer Mongolia sound? BWAHAHA! Schiavone can't help but smile, as 'President' Ventura fixes his tie. SCHIAVONE In any event, you join us on the night of the first big battle in the long brewing Upstart and Original war. Three World Titles are caught up in this blood feud. Tonight, not only will the HI-YAH World Heavyweight Championship be defended by veteran The Parka against Upstart Christian Wright, but also, the Tag Team Titles will see a veteran, plus one, versus two Upstarts. The Global Party Exchange challenge Zack Malibu and Leon Rodez for the titles, 2 out of 3 Falls here in front of this capacity crowd! VENTURA But Schiavone, the big one is obviously the Fatal Four Way for the vacant OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship. You got four men who've been around for years, only, one just happens to be The Upstarts' new spiritual leader. Stephen Joseph Popick. And he's gotta take on Dan Black, my man Tony Brannigan and Peter Knight. They're all after the big gold belt, but only ONE is gonna be the Champion once tonight is over. SCHIAVONE Plus, we have a whole lot more besides that. 7 titles on the line in all, plus a whole lot more. It's a night of champions. And speaking of which, without any further ado let's go to the ring for our opening contest!

For the final time tonight, we go to Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura...in the CROWD! The fans just about have their way with Schiavone, taunting him viciously. Not Jesse, though, the fans flocking to worship hizzoner. SCHIAVONE Jess, the match we've all came to see is finally upon. We're moments away from crowning a new World Heavyweight Champion. And I have a pretty good idea about the man you're picking. VENTURA Tony Brannigan all the way, Schiavone. What a travasty it is for that man not to have had a one on one rematch since losing the title in such a controversial matter. To paraphrase a line The Coach said tonight -- if Zack Malibu lost the World Title in a controversial match, I bet the OAOAST would be getting on the phones seconds after the defeat. SCHIAVONE We know who you're picking, Jesse. Now let's hear who some of our fans think will win. What's your name and where are you from? A boy, 7, wearing a Zack Malibu t-shirt answers: BOY Dan Black. That way Zack Malibu can get a shot and kick his ass for what he did to Candie! VENTURA What about you? A TEENAGE GIRL, showing a lot of skin in a tight black top answers: TEENAGE GIRL Tony Brannigan. Marry me Tony! I love you! Whooooooo! SCHIAVONE What about you, sir? A YOUNG MALE REPUBLICIAN, in a suit and tie answers: YOUNG REPUBLICIAN Stephen Joseph. And we can make it happen. Heh Heh Heh. VENTURA Last one. Yes, you. A YOUNG FEMALE DEMOCRAT, sporting a "Impeach Bush" t-shirt and glasses answers: VENTURA Let me guess. Peter Knight? YOUNG DEMOCRAT Yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh! How'd you know? VENTURA I'm Jesse Ventura. Knight will be happy to know at least you don't look like a dog. VENTURA What about you, Schiavone? Who you pickin'? SCHIAVONE I like Peter Knight, as a matter of fact. I think he's learned a lot from his World Title match last month at Dirty Deeds. And with that, for Jesse "The Bod-- VENTURA President Ventura. SCHIAVONE I'm Tony Schiavone. Saying we'll see you next month at November Reign. Now let's go over to Triple C at Sofa Central. COLE Thanks, Tony and Jesse. Great working with you once again. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for one of the most crucial matches in OAOAST history. The Heavyweight Championship of the World is on the line, and four men each have the chance to take it home tonight. CABOOSE With the dividing lines in the OAOAST at present, one of the sides could gain a huge advantage tonight. With the title, comes the power. Three of these men are extremely familiar with each other, one is not. COACH That's right. Brannigan and Black have both gone many rounds with Stephen Joseph over the years, but none of those three has gone up against Peter Knight before. Now obviously Black and Brannigan will work together, but will Knight join up with them or go it alone? And has Calvin Szechstein stacked the deck too far in favour of the Originals with the inclusion of both members of Black T? CABOOSE The World Title is on the line. Tony Brannigan had a brief run with the gold that must have only whetted his appetite for more. Dan Black has worked and sweated for many years here in the OAOAST, and this is his first major chance at the big one. I know Tony and Dan are extremely close, but who can tell what will happen in a high pressure environment such as this? COLE It's elimination rules. Two men in the ring at the same time, able to tag out to any other man. There is a strict ringside ban in place - anyone breaking that ban faces loosing their job. Calvin wants a worthy winner tonight, just as we all do. It's been trying times in the OAOAST of late, but you're about to see four men, love them or hate them, who will put it all on the line tonight for that World Title. Make no mistake about that. The lights go out. A spotlight falls upon the centre of the ring. Into it steps legendary announcer Michael Buffer, to a warm reception. He nods appreciation, before simply delivering his trademark: "Are you ready to RUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLEEEEEEEEEE!" Cue: “Simply Ravishing” The lights flash up as the crowd rises to cheer a man who has won the public over with his gutsy performances of late. Tony Brannigan swaggers out, dressed in a shimmering gold robe, and raises his hands in a gesture of acceptance of the fans appreciation. He walks slowly down to the ring, signalling his intentions via the universal "I want the belt" hand signal across his waist. Cue: "Quiet" The expansive mood turns darker, as the "Ice Heart" Dan Black emerges. No gold here; Dan has foregone any extra attire, wearing just short trunks, one leg black, the other white, with black elbow pads and boots. The fans are rather less welcoming to Black, although he manages not to get booed from all quarters as was the case just a few months ago. Black doesn't bother to acknowledge the crowd in any case, walking straight to the ring and sliding in. He stands before Tony Brannigan and the two share a small, tight smile. Cue: “Oh Hell Yeah!” The crowd is all approval again as Peter Knight comes out with a huge grin on his face! Knight walks confidently to the ring with his X Title belt around his waist. Cue: “It Ain’t Over For Me” Stephen Joseph, self proclaimed most hated man in OAOAST history, comes out with a less than concilatory gesture - a single finger salute to all sides of the arena. Not the most subtle of messages, but the fans are inclined to scream their lungs out in abuse anyway. Smiling with utter confidence, Stephen Joseph Popick climbs up the ringsteps and into the ring to meet his opponents, now one in each corner with Earl Hebner and Buffer in the middle of the ring. BUFFER The following contest is your main event of the evening, the four way elimination match for the World! Heavyweight! Championship! The crowd approves! BUFFER Introducing first, from Hollywood, California, weighing 272lbs, he is a multi time former tag team champion and former Heavyweight Champion of the World - The one and only, the "Body", Tony BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRANIGAN! Tony removes his robe to screams of approval from the females and more higher voiced men in the crowd, revealing simple, deep red tights with the OAOAST title belt printed around his waist. COLE Tony has a chance to become a 2-time champ, and with all his experience and ability, I would have to make him my favourite to win. CABOOSE Shockingly, that's not a bad pick at all. He has the strength and the technical ability. COACH But does he have the cardio conditioning to go through three falls? CABOOSE Tony's a big man and no doubt he may have spent more time on his muscles than his lungs in the past, but this year he's gotten into good shape. It'll still be a test, undoubtedly. BUFFER Our next competitor hails from London, England, weighing in at 241lbs, also a former multi time tag champion and a holder of numerous singles titles both in OAOAST and around the world - one of the finest technical wrestlers ever seen in the OAOAST, the British Legend, the "Ice Heart" Daaaaaaan BLLLLLLLLLAAAAAACK! Black raises his arm briefly, before shaking hands with Tony Brannigan, pointedly ignoring the other two men. COACH Mikey, you picked Brannigan as your favourite - for obvious reason, let's be honest - but what about Dan Black? He's got to be even hungrier than Brannigan, he's not had a World Title shot since 2003, when he was wrestling as Mystery Eskimo! COLE Maybe, but that could count against him. Although he's obviously an experienced wrestler, he hasn't been in this type of high pressured situation before. CABOOSE I think Black will thrive on that pressure. Ever since he ditched the Eskimo gimmick, he's been all about wanting to prove to people that his career is much more than a joke gimmick. He has a vicious edge that Brannigan perhaps doesn't. I’m going to pick Black to win. BUFFER Next, from Fall River, Massachusetts, weighing 265 pounds, he is the current X Division Champion of the World, Peterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr KNIGHT! The X Champ bobs on the spot, stretches back his huge shoulders and grins. Brannigan may be concealing nerves behind his showmanship, and Black behind his icy front, but Knight looks utterly at ease, now leaning back against the ropes. COLE Peter Knight is something of the wildcard of this match, as none of the other 3 are familiar with him. Like Dan Black, he's not been in the main event too often, but he doesn't have any of Black's desperation. Will that count for or against him? CABOOSE Knight's big, tough and uncomplicated. He's not going to have any demons on his shoulder during this match. He can wrestle without distractions, without hatred of his opponents, and that could actually be a big advantage. BUFFER And finally, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 225lbs, he is the self proclaimed most hated man in OAOAST history, a manipulator and a player, a multi time title holder, this is Stephen JOOOO-SEEEEPH! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" SJ raises his hands high and throws back his head, revelling in the contempt of the fans. He then steps into the middle of the ring and looks each of his opponents up and down, shaking his head dismissively. CABOOSE Well here's one man I can tell you definitely won't win this. His arrogance has always been in inverse proportion to his talent. COLE He's certainly the least ring ready of the four. And he's bound to be a target for both members of Black T. If Peter Knight gets onside with them, Stephen Joseph could be the first one out. COACH You may be right, but you're forgetting one thing - SJ is smart. Who else could have gotten himself into a World Title match only a few months after being back in the company? This match is going to be about more than just muscle and sweat, it's going to take strategy too. SJ can do that. He's my pick. COLE Well, the introductions are over, the great Buffer has left the ring. Our senior official Earl Hebner is checking each of the wrestler's over, explaining the rules - and it looks like we're going to get Dan Black and Peter Knight in the ring to start this thing. Hebner calls for the bell as SJ and Tony Brannigan take up opposite corners. *DING DING* COACH Here we go! The future of the OAOAST is on the line! Before the match starts, we cut quickly to a shot of the locker room backstage. Multiple OAOAST stars are clustered before a big screen TV to watch the match. We see Zack Malibu, the GPX, Leon Rodez amongst many others. Even Jivin’ JR is back, with a huge bucket of chicken in front of him. Black and Knight meet in the centre of the ring, making eye contact for the briefest of seconds before thrusting their bodies forward into a firm collar and elbow tie up. Black tries to move PK back, but Knight uses his weight advantage to power Black into one of the empty corners, where Hebner calls for the break. He counts to four, and Knight slowly backs off, arms raised to emphasise the clean break. Black lets Knight move away without going for a cheap shot. Back into the middle of the squared circle, and Black circles Knight watchfully. Knight is in a ready stance, and so when Dan comes sliding in low, trying to grab his leg, he's able to spin away to safety. Black up to one knee with a thoughtful look on his face. He rises, and they lock up again. Again, Knight starts to use his strength advantage, but Black counters this with a simple raised knee to the gut. Dan then grabs Knight's arm around and applies a wrist lock, exerting pressure as he twists the hand up. Knight is bent forward slightly, but able to start walking towards the ropes. Black stops him by applying pressure to the back of Knight's left knee with his boot, forcing him down to one knee, from where Dan drops the wrist lock and wraps on a side headlock with fingers firmly locked together. COLE Simple holds being used by Dan Black to start things off. CABOOSE I think a slow start is to be expected - none of these four want to burn out in the opening ten minutes. Stamina is going to be key factor here. Black using an ordinary headlock is smart; it’s the kind of hold that can wear down an opponent. Knight, still on one knee, starts to push himself into an upright position, and then tries to push Black off to the ropes, but Dan's hold is vice like, and despite a couple of forced steps he remains in control. Knight tries again, but Black won't let go. Knight tries a different tactic, and, putting his arms around Dan's waist, lifts him high up and hits him with a belly to back suplex! Knight tries to get up, but Black still has the headlock applied! With both men on their back, Dan suddenly rolls over onto Knight's chest, hooking his own leg under Knight's and pulling them up into a pin attempt! ONE! TWO! Knight kicks out strongly and Dan rolls away from him. Knight back up to one knee, and Black is on him with the headlock again! The crowd is split on this, half approving of Dan's tenacious tactics, the other half wanting things to kick into a higher gear. This time Knight reacts quickly, and is able to shove Black off to the ropes. He rebounds and ducks Knight's thrown lariat, swinging behind and grabbing a waistlock, before dropping his arms down around Knight's knees and flipping his legs out from under him, landing Knight face down on the mat. Dan scoots up the big man and locks on another side headlock! Knight slams the mat in frustration as he strains against the hold. COLE Peter Knight starting to become a little annoyed, perhaps, at Dan Black's approach here. Knight likes to hit the power moves, not struggle against headlocks. CABOOSE Knight might want to tag out here and regroup somewhat. I'd like to see him tag Tony Brannigan in, see how Black T is going to play this. Knight is fighting up to his feet again, but before he can fight back Dan just drops the hold and drives an elbow into his gut, followed by a stinging European uppercut. Black then uses a snapmare takeover to flip Knight to the mat in a sitting position. Dan fires a hard kick between his shoulder blades, followed by another. Half the arena winces as the sounds of boot on spine. Dan smoothes back his hair and delivers a third stiff kick, then applies a headlock! This seems like the final straw for Knight. Adrenaline flowing from the pain of the kicks, he rises to his feet and just shoves Black off and away. Dan goes flying to the ropes where Tony Brannigan has to leap away to avoid a collision. Black turns, as Knight charges in and sends him over the top rope to the floor with a clothesline! The crowd yells its approval as Knight climbs over the top rope and lands next to Dan, grabbing him up and sending him straight back down again with a hard forearm strike to the jaw. Tony Brannigan is about to drop down from the apron, but Hebner grabs his arm, telling him to stay out of it. With Hebner distracted, Black takes advantage by poking Knight straight in the eye as PK raises the Ice Heart to his feet. The fans let Black know what they think of this, but he pays no heed and instead just whips Knight into the side of the ring, before lighting him up with a pectoral splitting knife edge chop that echoes through the arena. "Woooooo!" Black rocks back, ready to deliver another chop...but as he flings his hand towards Knight he suddenly stops...and uses the arm to put on a headlock! Black grins as the crowd boos. Hebner has now reached the limit of his patience and starts to count both men out. Black allows him to reach seven before rolling Knight back into the ring and following. Black and Knight rise at the same time and Knight clocks Black with a closed hand punch that Hebner warns him about. Black staggers away but is ready with a hard chop as Knight tries to reel him in. Dan tries to whip Knight to the ropes, but the bigger man reverses it. Black rebounds at speed and Knight just ducks down and flips Black high up and over with a back drop. Dan bounces off the canvas and scrambles up, clutching his back. He runs in at PK, who meets him with a lariat that floors the Ice Heart. PK covers but Black shoves him off at the count of one and rolls away to Tony Brannigan's corner, where Brannigan gives him a few words of advice. COLE Peter Knight starting to disrupt Black's careful approach, and Black looking to his friend and tag partner Tony Brannigan for guidance. CABOOSE I wonder if Black might consider tagging Brannigan in here - Tony is more able to match power with Knight. If Black T operate as a tag team in this match, things are going to be pretty tough for Knight and Popick. Dan doesn't tag Tony however, instead circling around the ring, eyes fixed on Knight. As Black passes Stephen Joseph's corner, however, he turns and SLAPS SJP hard across the face! SJ comes into the ring furiously, but Dan backs off behind Earl Hebner, telling the official that it was just an overenthusiastic tag. Black grins his way to the apron as the crowd starts up a chant informing Stephen Joseph that he got bitch slapped! SJ is still arguing with Hebner when Peter Knight grabs him and shuts his mouth with a forearm shot and a knee to the gut. Knight grabs SJ in a front facelock and tries for a suplex, but SJ stomps his foot twice, shrugs off his hold and whips PK into a vacant corner. Stephen Joseph follows him in and connects with a corner clothesline, then whips Knight all the way across the ring to the other empty corner. SJ again charges in, but Knight gets a boot up. SJ staggers away, and Knight comes after him, locking on a waistlock. He tries for a German suplex, but Stephen Joseph gets his foot behind PK’s own to block it. Knight drops the waistlock and fires hard forearm shots into the upper back of Popick. PK grabs a hold of SJ across the shoulders and sweeps his legs out, driving him down hard to the mat with a side Russian legsweep. Knight goes to grapevine Popick’s legs, but he kicks him away. COACH Knight going for that Ace in the Hole submission hold. That could eliminate any of his opponents. COLE Well, all the men in this match have potent finishing maneuvers. They’re all on guard against making a mistake and falling victim to one in these opening exchanges. Both men up, and SJ gets the first blow in, stunning Knight and allowing him to torque on a wristlock. Knight quickly counters however, showing his agility by executing a forwards roll to weaken Popick’s grip and then countering to an arm bar of his own. Knight shakes the arm sharply, snapping the joint and causing Popick to grimace in pain. Knight brings Popick over to Tony Brannigan’s corner, where the former World Champion tags himself in on Knight’s shoulder. In the four seconds Hebner allows Knight to remain, Brannigan fires a series of hard punches into Popick’s exposed arm. Brannigan then takes over on the armbar, but Popick quickly grabs the ropes before he can be drawn back into the ring. Hebner counts the break, and as Brannigan lets go Stephen Joseph gets in a cheap shot. The crowd boos as Popick slugs Brannigan down to a kneeling position, then runs the ropes and connects with a knee to the side of Tony’s head that sends him down to the mat. SJ takes a moment to pose, which proves to be a mistake as Brannigan quickly pulls himself back up, shaking his head clear. Popick turns back to Brannigan, who greats him with a hard scoop slam, followed by an elbow drop right to the sternum. Tony brings SJ up, grabs him around the waist and picks him up, before driving him across the ring hard into the turnbuckles. Brannigan spins SJ around and delivers a headbutt into the small of his back, before hitting a textbook belly to back suplex. Tony doesn’t go for a pin, however, instead grabbing Stephen Joseph’s legs and turning him right over into a Boston Crab! CABOOSE Brannigan wasting no time in targeting the back of Popick. His Out of Body Experience spinebuster will be even more potent on a weakened back. Hebner asks Popick if he wants to quit, and gets told “no” in strong language. He crawls forward and grabs the bottom ropes. Tony makes the break, but is right back after SJ, whipping him to the ropes – but Brannigan telegraphs a back drop attempt, and SJ kicks him hard in the chest as he’s bent over. Popick kicks him again, and then tries for a DDT, but Tony resists, and counters into a Northern Lites suplex! ONE! TWO! SJ kicks out. Brannigan up first and draws SJ to his feet, bringing Popick over to Black’s corner, where he tags the Ice Heart. Black in with a European uppercut, and whips SJ to the ropes. Dan tries to spin SJ over into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, but Popick slips out and lands on his feet. Black tries a chop but Popick ducks under it and runs the ropes, coming back at Black but just getting an armdrag from the Englishman that sends him sliding across the ring. Popick up and chops Black hard! Dan returns the favour, and the two exchange stiff knife edge blows until Black steps to one side to evade a chop and tries to drag the arm down into the Heart of Ice crosssface! Popick goes down to one knee but Dan can’t force it further. Black instead lifts Stephen Joseph up and applies a full nelson, looking for a Dragon suplex, but SJ quickly raises and grabs his own leg, pulling down to break Black’s grip. SJ then throws a back elbow, and snaps Dan down to the mat with a simple neckbreaker. Stephen Joseph grabs Black up with a handful of hair and locks of a front facelock. He hoists Dan high into the air and drops him down hard with a brainbuster! SJ floats over into the cover: ONE! TWO! Black kicks out. SJ rolls Dan up to his feet and clocks him with a European uppercut, Black’s own strike of choice. SJ with a snapmare takeover and quickly dropkicks Dan in the back of the head while he’s in a seated position. Black starts to roll over to Tony Brannigan’s corner, but Popick cuts him off, pulling him back and up in the middle of the ring. SJ with another Euro uppercut attempt, but Black raises his arm to block it and hooks SJ’s arm around into a hammerlock! Black then throws a couple of raised knee strikes into Popick’s back, spins him around and body slams him with the arm still locked behind SJ! COLE Stephen Joseph’s use of the European uppercut cost him the advantage there. He needs to concentrate on his own game, not taunt Black by using his moves. COACH It’s all part of his mind games, Cole. I don’t think he’ll mind getting caught at all. Black brings SJ to his feet and tags in Tony Brannigan. Black T whip Popick to the ropes and knock him down hard with a double shoulder block. Brannigan lands a leg drop across the throat of their hated rival, while Black drops an elbow to the sternum. As Hebner gets Black out of the ring, Brannigan rolls SJ up and applies a standing headscissors, looking for a piledriver, but its too early and Popick has the energy to grab Brannigan’s legs, blocking the move. Tony instead whips SJ to the ropes and catches him in a sweetly executed powerslam into cover: ONE! TWO! Kick out! Brannigan brings Popick up and staggers him with a hard right hand, then wraps his arms around SJ’s midsection and lifts him up and over, slamming him into the mat with a gut wrench suplex. Brannigan grabs Popick up once more and tags back to Dan Black. COLE Black and Brannigan really are starting to operate like a tag team now, working together so neither has to spend too long in the ring. CABOOSE Its the obvious tactic. They stay warm and loose while Peter Knight cools on the outside. Brannigan hooks Popick’s arms back, allowing Black to kick him in the gut before whipping him into the corner. Dan runs in with a jumping forearm strike, and then lifts Popick into a sitting position on the top rope. Black runs around to the other side of the ring, and then sprints in at Stephen Joseph, leaping up athletically and delivering a jumping European uppercut to SJ! His head snaps back with the force of the blow, and Dan climbs up after him, standing on the 2nd rope, grabbing a front face lock and executing a superplex all the way down to the mat! Popick shouts in pain, arching his back in reflex against the hard impact on the canvas. Black rolls over into a cover: ONE! TWO! TH- SJ kicks out and sits up, a determined look on his face. Black grabs him by the neck and both men get to their feet. Dan with a couple of chops, and then hoists Stephen Joseph onto his shoulders, perhaps looking for a Death Valley Driver, but SJ fights out of his grip and falls to the mat behind Black. SJ slugs Dan in the back of the neck with a forearm, before quickly wrapping his arm around Black’s neck and snapping him hard to the mat with a reverse DDT. Popick decides against a cover, getting to his feet and moving slowly over to Peter Knight’s corner…but then changes his mind, and runs to the opposite corner, slapping Tony Brannigan on the shoulder and tagging him in! Before Tony can react, Popick has ducked out of the ring. Earl Hebner orders Tony into the ring. Dan Black is up on his feet, and seeing Brannigan tagged in, turns to make his own tag out to Peter Knight, but Knight drops off the apron, shaking his head. COLE Looks like Knight has had enough of Black T working together too! He wants them to go at it! CABOOSE Of course he does. At the moment, Dan and Tony are only dealing with two opponents each rather than three. Hebner yells again at Tony to get in the ring, and he obeys slowly. The crowd starts up a rhythmic clapping, urging Black T to go at it, a never before seen sight in an OAOAST ring. Dan and Tony meet in the middle of the ring and exchange a few words and smiles, before backing off and starting to circle each other. COACH They’re actually going to compete against each other? CABOOSE Well, both men are proud athletes. I can’t believe that deep down there isn’t a part of both men that would love to prove who the better man in Black T is. The two long time friends lock up, arms and legs straining for an advantage. Brannigan, the taller and stronger man, leans down on Black, pushing him back into Peter Knight’s corner. Knight is still watching from the floor, so there’s no easy tag out for either man. Hebner counts the break, and its clean, unsurprisingly. Another lock up, and this time Dan Black pushes Brannigan into the opposite corner for another clean break. COLE Seems like something of a stalemate here. Popick and Knight won’t get into position to tag in, but Black and Brannigan don’t look like they’re going to inflict any damage on each other. A third lock up, and this time Black switches out of it into a waistlock on Brannigan. Tony counters to his own, which Black breaks and moves into a hammerlock on the former Champ. Brannigan throws a weak looking back elbow to break it, and tries to whip Black to the ropes. Dan reverses, but Brannigan reverses again to send Dan to the cables at high speed. Black comes back like a rocket, and Brannigan steps aside at the last minute, only for Black to dive out over the top rope, crashing into Stephen Joseph on the floor! Black crushes Popick into the guard rail, and both men hit the floor hard. The crowd yells its approval, along with Tony Brannigan, who then rolls out of the ring and grabs Stephen Joseph up and whips him hard into the steel ring steps! Brannigan then helps Dan up. Peter Knight comes around, stomping on SJ on his way, and gets in Brannigan’s face. “Afraid to fight one on one?” Knight asks loudly, to which Brannigan rests Black back on the guard rail and slugs him right in the jaw! Knight fires back, and the two big men exchange a series of bone breaking blows on the outside. Knight gets the advantage and goes to slam Tony’s head into the ring post, but Brannigan raises a boot against it to block it. Black picks himself back up and goes to help Tony, but Stephen Joseph is up and tackles him to the ground, throwing punches at his head. Earl Hebner starts a count: ”ONE!” ”TWO!” COLE Both members of Black T could get counted out here! They’re the legal men! CABOOSE I wonder if Knight and Popick will try and take that short cut? PK tries again to slam Brannigan into the post, but the “Body” resists once more, then elbows Knight in the gut to move him away. Brannigan grabs PK and smashes his head onto the ring apron! “FOUR!” ”FIVE!” Black is trying to get back into the ring, but Stephen Joseph is hanging on to his legs! Brannigan moves over to help, but Knight attacks from behind with a lariat to the back of the head that floors Tony! “SEVEN!” ”EIGHT!” COLE C’mon, we can’t lose two competitors like this! Black kicks Popick away from him and nails Knight with a savage headbutt right between the eyes! “NINE!” Black rolls into the ring! COACH He’s sacrificing Brannigan so he can stay in the match! ”T-“ Hebner’s final shout is cut off as Black covers his mouth with his hand! Hebner’s eyes bulge and he struggles against Dan! On the outside, Tony Brannigan struggles to his feet and rolls back into the ring, whereupon Black releases the aggrieved official! Black smiles and nods apologetically, and seems to have convinced Hebner not to outright DQ him in such an important match. COACH Well that was certainly a unique solution from Black. And brave too. Imagine touching Hebner’s mouth! Peter Knight has climbed onto the apron, and Black takes advantage of his distracted state by tagging him in. COLE And thus ends the Black T confrontation. Not the conflict we hoped for, Caboose? CABOOSE Plenty of time for conflict, Mikey. Brannigan meets Knight coming in with a boot to the stomach and whips him to the ropes. Knight comes back to a shoulder block that doesn’t knock him down. PK fires up and gestures for Brannigan to try again. Tony runs the ropes and drives his shoulder into PK’s. Again no movement. Brannigan shrugs and gestures for PK to try. Knight accepts the challenge and charges Tony – who steps aside and drop toe holds Knight down to the mat instead! The crowd applauds Brannigan’s sneaky ploy, as Tony lands the sole of his big boot onto Knight’s skull a couple of times, before dragging him up. Knight surprises Tony by shrugging of his grip and landing a boot to the gut, then a knee lift that has Brannigan reeling. Knight grabs Tony and with an effort lifts him up into a gorilla press! The crowd is wowed by this display of strength, as Knight steadies himself and then drops Tony headfirst onto a turnbuckle! Brannigan is draped, stunned, across the ropes, and Knight quickly grabs a waistlock and hits big German suplex, holding the bridge! ONE! TWO! THR – Dan Black comes in and breaks it up! COLE And there’s still no doubt that Black T are still on the same page. CABOOSE You don’t expect to see pins broken up in an elimination match. That’s got to frustrate Knight. Indeed, Knight is on his feet and yelling at Black, who exits the ring with a smug grin. PK turns back to Brannigan and whips him to the ropes, where Stephen Joseph moves along the apron to raise a knee for Brannigan to collide with. Tony staggers forward, and PK gives him a DDT. Knight brings Brannigan up and tags Stephen Joseph. SJ in with a couple of forearm shots, and tries for a snap suplex, but Brannigan blocks it and reverses to his own! Popick is driven to the mat hard, as Tony gets up and gives the crowd the ole snake hips! Brannigan then steps out on to the apron and climbs to the top ropes! COACH What’s he doing?! Tony Brannigan isn’t a high flyer! Tony balances a little precariously on the top rope, before rising to a standing position and leaping off with a huge elbow drop right to the chest of Stephen Joseph! Cover! ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Popick with a shoulder up at the last second! COLE High risk move from Tony Brannigan! He obviously feels its time to start putting his opponents away. We’re a good way into this match and still no eliminations. Tony scrapes SJ up, wringing out his elbow as he does so, and keeps him stunned with a hard right hand. Brannigan applies a standing headscissors, lifts SJ up – and hits a nasty looking Attitude Adjustment piledriver! Cover! ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Kick out again! COACH Say what you want about Stephen Joseph, but he has as much determination as any of the others to win the title. Brannigan slams the mat in frustration…and heads up to the top rope once more! Dan Black looks on in concern as Brannigan tries for a big legdrop off the top – and Stephen Joseph rolls aside! Brannigan clutches his leg in pain, as SJ moves to the ropes and uses them to pull himself up. SJ then moves over to tag to Peter Knight – but Dan Black runs in and pulls him away! Tired of Black T’s game plan, Peter Knight runs in and attacks Black, the two slugging it out by the ropes. Tony Brannigan grabs Popick up and sets him for the Rude Awakening, but Knight chooses that moment to whip Black across the ring, and Dan collides hard head first with Brannigan! Black falls away, clutching his head, seemingly blinded by the impact, as Hebner gets Knight out of the ring. Stephen Joseph gets to his feet and shoves Brannigan into Black this time! Black turns and hits Tony with a Black Out stunner! COLE What the hell?! He didn’t mean to do that, did he? Popick covers Brannigan, hooking up his leg and getting extra leverage from the tights, straining with all his body to pin Tony’s shoulders down! ONE! TWO! THREE! *DING DING* BUFFER Tony Brannigan has been eliminated! Brannigan slowly sits up, a look of horror and disbelief on his face! He turns to Hebner, who confirms it, and then Dan Black, who’s on the floor, clutching his head still! Brannigan takes an unsteady step towards Dan, but Hebner is pushing him out of the ring so the match can continue. COACH Black just took out his own friend! His tag partner! COLE Well, I don’t think he knew what he was doing. He’d taken a knock to the head, and then when Popick pushed Tony into him, he must have assumed it was another attack. COACH Are you sure? Or has Dan just been waiting for an opportunity like that all match? If Dan planned what happened, he’s a great actor. Black looks horrified as he sees Brannigan exiting. Stephen Joseph grins smugly – and rolls Dan up from behind! Hebner turns to count! ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Black kicks out! COACH Stephen Joseph almost taking out both members of Black T within a minute! Brannigan is slowly making his way backstage, still looking distraught. CABOOSE I wonder what he’ll have to say to Black later? COLE Maybe if Dan wins the title, he can give Tony the first shot at it. COACH Well, we’re down to three, and now it’s every man for himself. Popick and Black to their feet, and Black slugs away angrily at SJ, abandoning his usual crisp uppercuts and chops in favour of hammering punches. Dan with a boot to the gut, and tries for his Black Out stunner on the right target this time, but SJ pushes him off to the ropes. Black bounces back and rolls under Popick’s swing, hooking his arms around SJ’s neck in a full nelson and lifting him up and over, dropping him on his head and neck with a Dragon suplex! ONE! TWO! THREE – kick out! Black bodyslams SJ into the middle of the ring and climbs to the top rope. The crowd buzzes as he stands upright and then leaps off high through the air, arms outstretched, coming down head first onto Stephen Joseph with a huge swandive headbutt! The impact of skull on skull leaves both men clutching their heads in agony, but Black manages to roll over and hook up a leg: ONE! TWO! THRE – No! SJ kicks out again! COLE Black really unloading on Popick! Clearly he blames SJ for Tony Brannigan’s elimination. COACH Stephen Joseph didn’t break any rules. Black just screwed up. If it wasn’t deliberate. Dan brings a groggy SJ to his feet and double underhooks his arms, looking for his Pitch Black (Angel’s Wings), but as he lifts and rotates, SJ kicks and lands his feet back on the mat. With a determined effort Popick backdrops Dan up and over. SJ remains on top for a pinning position: ONE! TWO! Black kicks out, and both men get to their feet. Black with a swing and a miss, and SJ drags him into a backslide pin: ONE! TWO! TH – Black kicks out. Both up and SJ with the first strike this time, a short jab to the throat that knocks the air out of Dan and allows Stephen Joseph to lift Black up in a suplex position, but just drop him down gut first on the top rope. With Black momentarily balanced on the cable, SJ then grabs his head and DDT’s him down to the mat from the elevated position! Popick pulls Black away from the ropes for the cover: ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Dan throws up a shoulder. COLE Black took that right on his head! A DDT with his legs on the top rope – that’s got to have Dan in trouble now. CABOOSE And Peter Knight on the apron must be enjoying this. Black and Popick are throwing big moves at each other, wearing each other down, while Knight just waits to pick up the pieces. Stephen Joseph brings Black to his feet and locks on an abdominal stretch. COLE Popick smartly putting pressure on Black while giving himself time to get some air. Dan tries to get to the ropes, but Stephen Joseph holds him in place, stretching out the chest and stomach of Black so that he’s scowling in pain. After a minute or so, Dan manages to get his arm free and uses back elbows to break the hold, winding Stephen Joseph in the process. Black runs the ropes and comes back with a leap over SJ’s crouched form, dragging him over with a sunset flip! ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Both men up, and exchange right hand blows. Black gains the upper hand, and goes behind Stephen Joseph, locking his arms around Popick’s waist and lifting him up, driving him over and down into the mat with a big German suplex! Black rolls through it and grabs SJ’s arms back – Tiger suplex! ONE! TWO! THREE! NO! Popick with the kick out once again! Both men remain down as Peter Knight extends his hand, wanting into the match, not caring who reaches him first. Both Black and Popick see him, and start to crawl over! COLE Who’s going to get the tag! CABOOSE What a useful comment, Cole. Both men go for the tag – and referee Hebner rules that Stephen Joseph made it! Knight climbs into the ring to a big pop from the crowd as Dan Black rises, and hits him with a pair of hard forearm shots. Black is staggered and unable to fight back as Knight whips him to the ropes and hits him with a big sidewalk slam as Dan returns. ONE! TWO! TH- Black throws up a shoulder. Knight brings him off the canvas, applies a front facelock and lifts Dan into the vertical suplex position. He holds him there, the blood rushing to Black’s head, for a good twenty seconds, before finally dropping back to complete the suplex. Knight twists to one side, keeping his hold on Dan, and lifts him upright once again! This time Knight keeps Black up for even longer, the crowd counting along and reaching twenty five before PK plunges Black to the mat! Again, Knight rolls Black up and lifts him into a vertical suplex position, but now wastes no time in planting Dan down face first into the canvas with a Falcon Arrow! Cover! ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Dan raises a shoulder just inches off the mat to halt the count. Knight brings Black up and twists on an arm bar, before going to work on the exposed shoulder with a series of jabs and elbow strikes. Knight whips Black to the ropes and as he comes back drags him down into a Fujiwara armbar! Knight clamps back on the arm, straining the joint with all his considerable strength! Black shakes his head when Hebner asks him the question, but his teethe are gritted in agony. The crowd encourages Knight, sensing that a worn down Black may give it up. Dan shifts his body, and manages to just touch the bottom rope with the tip of his boot. Knight breaks the hold, and waits for Black to get to his feet. Dan tries to make it along the rope to tag Stephen Joseph, but SJ doesn’t want to know, and Knight intercepts Black with a knee to the gut. He grabs the Fujiwara-d arm and executes a Divorce Court arm bar take down! Knight stomps the arm a few times, and then just drags Black up by it. A jaw bruising forearm strike, and PK whips Dan hard into a corner. COACH Knight just starting to demolish Black here. He’s got momentum with him. CABOOSE I don’t want either of these men eliminated. How can Popick have a chance at the World Title? It’s just not right. Knight charges in at Black, but Dan rolls aside and PK hits the buckles. Dan slams Knight’s head onto the top turnbuckle, and steps onto the apron to climb up to the top. He reaches down and pulls Knight up with him, underhooking both Knight’s arms! COLE Black’s going for his Pitch Black off the top! COACH That would be a Pepsi Plunge. Oh yeah, the Coach loves the Indies! Knight fights back, trying to backdrop Dan down to the ring, but Black slams a flurry of punches into his back and neck, and Knight subsides. With a huge effort, Black picks Knight up and drops him all the way down into the ring with a Pepsi Plunge! The big man lands on his head and doesn’t move! Black is on his back, eyes wide and breathing hard with the effort of the move! The crowd roars! COLE He did it! He hit Knight with a huge move, that’s got to be it for Peter Knight! It takes a moment for Dan to roll over to Knight, and another for him to slowly force PK over onto his back, but the cover comes: ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Knight kicks out! The fans are shocked, but not more so than Dan Black, who falls back with his head in his hands in dismay. COLE Knight kicked out! CABOOSE What do they pay you for? Anyway, Knight hasn’t wrestled a lot of this match. Clearly, he had enough left in the tank. Black is struggling to his feet. He staggers towards Stephen Joseph’s corner, wanting a tag to give himself time to recover. Black stretches out his arm – and instead of tagging it, SJ grabs it, and slams it down on the top rope! Black grabs it away in pain, but SJ enters the ring, grabs the stunned Black in and nails him with a big shoulderbreaker! SJ puts the boots to the shoulder and upper arm of Black until Hebner finally manages to eject him again! COLE What a cheap assault from Popick! Black is on the mat, clutching at his arm. Peter Knight is starting to move, and Dan forces himself to his feet too. Black attacks from behind, dragging Knight down into the Heart of Ice crossface! Dan, face white with effort, hauls back on the hold, wrenching back PK’s neck. Knight shouts in pain, and tries to move, but he’s right in the middle of the ring and the ropes are a long way away! The fans buzz, sensing a tap out – but suddenly Black relinquishes the hold! COACH That injured arm gave out on him! There’s no strength to keep the hold applied! Before Dan can move away, PK fires into life, sitting up and grabbing his right arm into the Fujiwara once more! COLE And Knight slips right back into that arm bar! The pain has got to be unbearable! Black’s arm is bent at a sick angle, the muscles visibly strained and taught. Knight’s forehead is glistening with sweat as he rips at the joint. Dan tries to move, somewhere, anywhere, but Knight’s hold is vice like… And Hebner calls for the bell! *DING DING* BUFFER Dan Black has been eliminated! COACH Black submitted! COLE Or he passed out. CABOOSE Either way, it doesn’t matter. That arm took a lot of punishment, and that little attack from Popick was the final straw. We’re down to two men. The next OAOAST World Champ is Peter Knight or Stephen Joseph. If it wouldn’t cost me my job, I’d get in the ring myself to make sure it wasn’t Popick. Knight is on his back, breathing heavily, trying to suck in enough air to recover from taking the Plunge, and then the effort of defeating Black. Tony Brannigan comes down to ringside once more. Dan has rolled out of the ring and is slumped on the floor. Brannigan looks down at Black…. ….and with a sigh picks him up and supports the barely conscious Black on his shoulder, taking him to the back. COACH Aww, Black T leave together! They’re still friends! COLE It’s not been a good night for Black and Brannigan. You had to think that by working together one of them would be the new champ, but bad luck and Stephen Joseph have conspired to eliminate both of them. Popick enters the ring, a huge grin on his face. Knight is up to one knee, and SJ wastes no time, slamming a couple of punches into the side of his head. The blows don’t stop Knight however, as he gets to his feet and staggers Popick with a huge punch of his own. PK grabs his opponent, underhooks his arms and drags him over, high through the air, with a Butterfly suplex. Cover only gets two, as Popick is well rested from plenty of time on the apron. Knight brings SJ up and works him over with a series of stiff kicks to the legs and side, trying to knock some strength out of Popick. PK grabs SJ up, holding him at a right angle to his own body, steps back and hurls Popick over with a fall away slam – right into the turnbuckles! Popick is driven into the padding and lands in a heap in the corner. Knight drags him out and covers: ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Shoulder up! Knight leaves Popick on the mat and backs away to the other side of the ring. He stomps his right boot on the mat once. Popick uses the ropes to pull himself up, and unsteadily turns – and Knight charges at him with a big boot! SJ ducks under it at the last minute, and dropkicks Knight’s unbalanced standing leg, sending him down to the mat! COLE Wow, I think if that boot had hit Stephen Joseph’s head would be in about the eighth row right now. Popick goes to work on the leg he dropkicked, driving the point of his boot into the back of Knight’s knee. He goes to apply a figure four, but Knight propels him off with his free leg before SJ can get it hooked. Knight up to one knee, and SJ comes running in looking for the Shining Wizard, but Knight blocks the knee with crossed arms, punches Popick and whips him to the ropes. Stephen Joseph comes back at Knight, who lifts him up and over, driving him down with a Blue Thunder Bomb! Popick’s shoulders are pinned to the mat! ONE! TWO! THREE- no! Knight rolls away from SJ, once again waiting for him to get up. As he does this time, Knight hoists him onto his shoulders! Big pop from the crowd! COLE He’s going for the Knightmare! This can put away Stephen Joseph for sure! COACH But he won’t fall victim to it so easily! Indeed, Popick struggles against Knight’s grip, trying to escape from his hold. He manages to slip off his shoulders and land behind Knight, and then jumps up and lands an enziguiri kick to Knight’s face! PK staggers on the spot but doesn’t go down. Bulldog from Popick, and as Knight rolls over onto his back he climbs up top. COLE We’re seeing these men go up top a lot more than they usually would. That’s how much they want this match. CABOOSE Of course. Power, money, prestige – oh, but you don’t know what any of that’s like. I’m sorry. COACH Don’t diss Mikey just because Stephen Joseph might win! Popick steadies himself on top – when Knight suddenly rolls up and springs up the ropes after him! He grabs Popick and quickly hits him with a belly to belly throw off the top rope! SJ hits the mat with a huge crash, and Knight covers: ONE! TWO! THREE! No! The kick out comes once again! Knight starts to look frustrated. He grape vines Popick’s legs, looking for his stretch submission, but SJ rapidly drags himself backwards and grabs the ropes before Knight can start to apply the hold. Hebner counts the break, SJ comes over his shoulder with a punch, and then simply cradles Knight down to the mat: ONE! TWO! Knight kicks out! Both men roll up, and Popick just grabs Knight’s legs out from under him, into a cover: ONE! TWO! Popick has his feet on the ropes! THREE! No! Hebner spots SJ’s cheating, and calls off the count. Knight rolls backwards, and before Popick can get off the ropes just boots him straight in the head! PK flips Popick onto his shoulders – KNIGHTMARE! Knight brings SJ into the middle of the ring! ONE! TWO! THREE! No? Hebner’s hand doesn’t hit the mat for the third time – Stephen Joseph has grabbed it! Hebner angrily tries to shake his hand free, and Knight gets up and stomps SJ’s arm to force him. PK puts Popick onto his shoulders, and tries for another Knightmare – but as he turns SJ’s boots collide with Hebner’s head! Stunned, Hebner falls to all fours, holding the side of his head. COLE Oh no! Hebner couldn’t get out of the way in time! CABOOSE Someone get another referee out here, quick! The impact with our near geriatric official causes Knight to lose his grip and Popick falls to the mat – cue instantaneous low blow! Knight collapses to his knees as the fans scream displeasure. Popick brings Knight to the corner and applies a full nelson – then jumps off and round and delivers FINALITY! Cover! Hebner recovers quickly and gets in position for the count. ONE! TWO! CABOOSE No! No! THREE! *DING DING DING* Trash begins to fill the ring as Stephen Joseph rolls off Knight, clenching his fists and pumping them, repeatedly screaming "YES!" as Hebner retrieves the belt. BUFFER The winner of the match.... CABOOSE Don't say it, Buffer. BUFFER and NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (Caboose: GODDAMNIT!!!) OAOAST Heavyweight Champion of the World – STEEEEEEEEPHEN JOOOOOOSEPH! The new champ grabs the title from Earl Hebner and raises it high above his head, grinning from ear to ear. We cut to the locker room, where Zack Malibu has his head in his hands, Leon Rodez looks stunned and disbelieving, Black T sitting, tired and defeated. The Puerto Rican seemingly cannot decide whether to be elated or jealous, but the GPX and the Upstarts are popping champagne bottles. COLE Our new champion – Stephen Joseph. COACH He’s been here since the beginning. It’s always been his goal. He’s worked hard, no matter his methods. Let’s show some respect to the new champ. CABOOSE Are you kidding? Off all the outcomes – hell, of all the guys in the company, he’s the worst one to hold that title. It makes me sick. The fans are still booing as Stephen Joseph scales a turnbuckle, holding the golden strap aloft for all to see. The new era of the OAOAST will be led by a familiar face. There’s a locker room packed with challengers itching to destroy him. Knight, feeling too dejected to protest, sits on his knees and stares at the mat, having once again come so close only to fall short in the end. COLE Knight, Brannigan and Black have reason to feel aggrieved, but it doesn’t matter! A new champion has been crowned and – well, we’re all going to have to get used to seeing gold around his waist. Even you, Caboose. Fans, thanks for being with us tonight, for Jonathon Coachman and Caboose, I’m Michael Cole – we’ll see you on HeldDown – the fall out from this is going to be something else. Goodnight! We fade on Stephen Joseph strapping the belt firmly around his waist…we have a new Champion. And who would have thought it was this man...

COLE Up next we've got another contest that is a major portion of the OAOAST Civil War. Since the inception of the Upstarts group, both Scotty Static and Johnny Jackson of the GPX have been figuredheads of the movement. They were Drek Stone's backup during his reign as the head of the group, and when all the dirty laundry was aired several weeks ago revealing their to be another man pulling the strings of the OAOAST's younger talent, it was Scotty Static and Johnny Jax who stepped up as the spokepeople for the Upstarts until Stephen Joseph, in an effort to get revege for being undermined by his peers, slid into the role. CABOOSE Now tonight, the former tag team champions, men who blew the roof off the arena just under a year ago with their efforts, have decided to rewrite their teams history. They've stated that the GPX of the past is dead and buried, and that the path they've chosen now will establish them permanently as a team to be reckoned with and take them to greater heights, and they plan on doing it at the expense of a team no one thought could co-exist as well as they have. COLE The World Tag Team Champions, dubbed The Usual Suspects, are two men who did not see eye to eye until recently. Zack Malibu and Leon Rodez certainly had their problems, especially during Zack's days with The Thrillogy. However, Rodez stepped up for The Originals when offered a spot with The Upstarts, stating that he'd rather stand up for the company rather than bring it down. This has made him one of the focal points of the war, but it also brought him tag team gold when Calvin Szechstein forced he and Zack Malibu into the TLC match as a wild card team, only for them to win. CABOOSE The Civil War has taken many twists and turns the last few weeks, but tonight, if the GPX can take the titles back, and if Stephen Joseph can walk away with our company's World Title, the odds will sway heavily into the favor of The Upstarts. DING! DING! DING! The bell sounds, drawing attention to center ring, where Michael Buffer prepares to introduce the next contest. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a special two out of three falls match for the OAOAST WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES! "In a world full posers..." The familiar introduction to O-Town's "Make Her Say" comes over the speakers, and the fans start to boo vociferously as the lights dim. Despite the upbeat, peppy nature of the song, Scotty Static and Johnny Jax come down the rampway looking angered and focused, as they perhaps more than anyone in their group feel slighted by the OAOAST veterans. BUFFER Coming down the ramp at this time, they weigh in at a combined weight of four hundred, eight pounds, they are Johnny Jax and Scotty Static, the GLOBAL PARTY EXCHANGE!!! Scotty and Johnny enter the ring, with Static standing up on the middle rope and posing (think Justin Credible) while Johnny climbs the turnbuckles and jawjacks with several of the nearby fans. COACH We could be looking at new tag team champions here! O-Town fades out, and is suddenly replaced by a familiar song, yet an unfamiliar theme. COLE What the...is this the champs? CABOOSE I know this song, and let me tell you, it'd be pretty appropriate if it is our champions. "Beverly Hills" by Weezer plays on the soundsystem, and the fans assume it's the champs, but the sight of the dynamic duo, with Candie standing in the middle with her hands on her hips, pretty much cements the fact. COLE A team name, a shared theme song...and yet Johnny and Scotty are still telling us that the Originals and the Upstarts can't get along? BUFFER Their opponents, they are the reigning and defending OAOAST Tag Team Champions of the WORLD...Zack Malibu, Leon Rodez...THE USUAL SUSPECTS~! Zack Malibu and Leon Rodez walk down the aisle, with Malibu's girlfriend Candie close behind. As the champions make their way down the ramp, the GPX stand in the ready position, eager to get their hands on their rivals. Scotty Static and Johnny Jax stare their opponents down during their entrance, and perhaps not satisfied with the time it's taking, wave their opponents on and call them out, daring them to come get some. This doesn't go unnoticed by Zack and Leon, and the Usual Suspects turn to each other and shrug before passing their belts to Candie and charging full speed towards the ring! COLE Here we go, getting right down to it! Malibu and Rodez slingshot in over the top rope, and immediately come face to face with their foes, as the GPX pounces! Malibu blocks a right hand by Johnny Jax and starts firing off some right hands of his own, while Rodez catches Static's leg on a kneelift attempt and plants him with an inverted atomic drop! Together, the Usual Suspects send the GPX to the ropes and hit stereo monkey flips as Scotty and Johnny rebound! The GPX both crash-land on the canvas, but roll to their feet soon after, just in time to face the oncoming charge by the champs! The GPX brace for impact, but the champions psyche them out, sliding themselves out of the ring! It's a move that leaves the GPX stunned, and Zack and Leon reach under the bottom rope and pull the GPX down to the canvas and out to the floor before sliding back into the ring themselves. In the ring, Leon rests on all fours near the ropes, as Malibu hits the far side and comes off, springboarding off the back of his partner and diving over the ropes with a flip plancha onto both members of the Global Party Exchange! As soon as Zack hits, Rodez springs into action himself, darting towards the corner and running up the ropes before moonsaulting onto the pile of humanity below him! CABOOSE Did we even hear a bell ring yet? COLE I don't think so. COACH You can ring my belllllll, ring my bell... CABOOSE Oh, I'll ring your bell alright. The crowd roars as Malibu and Rodez pick themselves up and roll into the ring. Malibu goes to the ropes and motions for Candie to hand him both of the tag titles, and he passes one over to Leon. Together, The Usual Suspects each take a corner and climb to the top, proudly displaying their championship gold for all to see, while the GPX fume down at ringside! COLE OK, Nick Patrick, maybe now is a good time to ring the bell! Michael Cole's voice certainly does carry, as seconds later Patrick waves for the bell to be rung, and the match to be started officially. Zack and Leon hand their belts to Patrick, and he raises them both up high to remind the world that this match is being fought with those titles at stake. Patrick then hands the belts down to Michael Buffer at ringside, and the GPX step up onto the apron, ready to start things. COLE Fans, keep in mind this match is being fought under two out of three falls rules, which means that one team needs to score two victories in order to secure a win. CABOOSE It's tough enough to defeat either one of these teams once on any given day, but to do it twice in one night? We could be in for a lot of action. COLE I'm pretty much counting on it. COACH Same here, my main man Mikey Cole. Scotty Static steps into the ring for his team, ready to start, while Rodez offers to start for the Suspects. The two men come to center ring, and Scotty shows off, slapping his chest and getting in Leon's face before shoving the Silky Smooth superstar back. Leon chuckles, and then shoves back, drawing Scotty's ire. Static tries to catch Leon with a slap, but it's Leon who catches Scotty, more specifically by the wrist. He drops to his knees and takes Static over with a fireman's carry, and then when both get to their feet, strikes him with a pair of chops! Scotty gets backed into the ropes, and Leon shoots him off, but Scotty turns it around in mid-swing, sending Leon towards them. Rodez comes off and leapfrogs his foe on the rebound, then spins Scotty to face him, and yanks his legs out from under him before jumping on top for a cover! ONE! Scotty quickly shoves Rodez off, and while Leon gets right back to his feet, Scotty stays on the ground, yanking Leon's legs out from under him, and then HE jumps on top for the pin! ONE! Leon shoves off just as easily as Scotty did, and when he comes up, he's caught in a side headlock by Static. Rodez pushes Scotty off, sending him into the ropes. Leon drops to his stomach, allowing Scotty to hop over him, and then springs up with a monkey flip attempt on the rebound...but Scotty pushes Leon's legs off! Rodez lands with both feet on the canvas and dares Scotty to come at him, which Static does. Rodez ducks the Yakuza Kick attempt, rolling under it and leaping up to the middle rope, then twists his body as he springs off, catching Static with a DDT...NO! Scotty stops himself from being drilled with the move, and clubs Rodez twice in the kidney, then shoves him towards the ropes! Leon bounces right back, and Scotty catches him with a sleeper, but Leon quickly twists himself out of it, nailing Scotty in the ribs with a pair of elbows before spinning around and taking Scotty off his feet, planting him with a quick back suplex! Leon quickly gets up and heads for the ropes, but as he hits the far side, Johnny Jax leans over the ropes and snares Leon's head, forcing him down to the cavnas! CABOOSE He caught him on that one! COLE Zack and Leon know what they're in for tonight. Johnny and Scotty said just a few weeks ago on HeldDOWN~! they were going to change what they once stood for, and it's tactics like that that will rewrite their history for them! Leon gets up, only slightly dazed, but he's knocked to the mat again thanks to a spinning wheel kick by Scotty! Static decides to tag in his partner rather than try for a pin, and together the GPX send Leon to the ropes. Scotty moves in front of Johnny and drops his head, and when Leon leapfrogs over him Jax charges forward and catches him in midair, powerslamming him to the canvas! COACH Bootyful double teamwork there! ONE! T-Shoulder up! Rodez breaks free of the pin attempt rather easily, although he's jarred from being slammed hard to the canvas. Jax brings him up and then slams him back down to the canvas, and then rakes the laces of his boot across the eyes of Rodez! Referee Nick Patrick catches Johnny in the act and scolds him, but Jax waves him off before taking Leon up to his feet again. He stuns the champion with a pair of chops, then applies an arm wrench. Rodez reels for a moment, thinking of his next move, and then manages to counter, trapping Jax in an arm wrench. Rodez then bends the arm behind Johnny's back, applying a hammerlock, but Jax reaches back and grabs Leon's head, and snapmares him over his shoulder! Johnny hits the ropes, but as he does Leon kips up, then leaps up to the middle rope and springboards backwards, drilling Johnny with a springboard back elbow as he rebounds! Jax rolls out of the ring, while Leon rolls to his feet, and the GPX take refuge at ringside! CABOOSE They can't stand the heat, so the GPX are getting out of the kitchen! COACH And I'M cliche? CABOOSE I have the charisma to pull such quips off. Scotty and Johnny stand at ringside irate, and Scotty pounds the apron and turns away from his partner in frustration. The crowd begins to get on the GPX for their cowardice, and the ensuing chant is not exactly music to their ears. "YOU SUCK!" "YOU SUCK!" "YOU SUCK!" Angry, Johnny rolls into the ring and charges Leon Rodez, who steps out of the way. Johnny runs the ropes and gets caught with a hiptoss on the rebound, but when Leon follows up with a dropkick, it's knocked away! Johnny delivers a boot to the gut as Leon comes off the canvas, and then pulls him into a headscissors and lifts him for a powerbomb...but Leon rolls over Johnny's back with a sunset flip! Patrick dives to the canvas to count the fall, but before he can, Johnny floats over backwards and comes to his feet, then blasts Leon with a basement dropkick! He then drags Leon across the canvas by his ankles, giving him a bad case of fricition burn, and brings him to the GPX corner, where he tags in Static. Scotty steps in and together the GPX each grab an ankle and roll Leon backwards, up to his feet, then DRILL him with a double team STO, and Static covers quickly! ONE! T-KICKOUT! After the kickout, Scotty brings him up and stuns him with a few forearms, then sends him into the ropes...but when Leon rebounds, he swings around Scotty with a spinning headscissors, landing on his feet and snapping Scotty to the canvas with a quick Russian legsweep! Rodez then goes and tags in Zack, and Malibu moves up the ropes, as Leon picks Static up and stuns him with an inverted atomic drop, leaving him prone for Malibu, who leaps into the ring with a flying clothesline that wipes Scotty out! Static rolls to the side, and Jax charges in illegally, going right for Zack, but Malibu ducks and Jax finds himself backdropped over the ropes and out onto the raised rampway! Rodez comes in, but before he does anything, Zack asks him for help in bringing Static to the ropes, and together the tag champs send Scotty in, catching him on the rebound with a double hiptoss, but they catch his legs and swing him through the air, then LAUNCH him over the ropes and onto his own partner! COLE The Usual Suspects have cleared the ring of the Global Party Exchange once again, and the rest of The Upstarts must be fuming backstage! Patrick orders Rodez out to the apron, but Malibu takes control of the situation, springboarding off the top rope out to the ramp as the GPX get up...but his dive is caught by Scotty and Johnny! Together, the GPX press Malibu over their heads and throw him like a javelin back into the ring, and the former World Champion falls face first to the canvas! COACH I bet that made some people in the back very happy! Scotty gets back into the ring, reaching down and pulling an aching Malibu to his feet. He strikes Zack with a pair of chops and then gives him a knee to the stomach before wrenching his arm and firing off another chop. Scotty then snapmares Zack over and drops down, applying a headlock. Malibu tries to wriggle free but can't, but he is able to get to his feet, although Scotty won't let go of the hold. Zack turns to his side and fires elbows into the bread basket of Static, trying to break the hold...but it's Scotty who breaks it of his own will, yanking Zack by the head back to the canvas! Scotty then runs the ropes and comes off with a well placed kneedrop that drills Zack, and he covers to try and capture the first fall of the contest. ONE! TW-NO! Malibu kicks out, but as he rises to his feet Static traps him in a rear waistlock, but Zack drops down onto his BUTT and kicks up, nailing Scotty just under the chin! Malibu kips up, and Scotty comes off the canvas, but he's driven back by the flurry of right hands from Malibu, and then sent across the ring...NO! Scotty reverses the whip, sending Zack in and back bodydropping Zack...ONTO HIS FEET! Malibu quickly makes the tag to Rodez and turns around to see Scotty coming, and shoots for the legs, taking them out from under him. He then lifts Scotty up by his legs and starts spinning around and around, making himself and his foe dizzy, before he swings Scotty right into Leon's grasp, and Rodez hooks the head and drops Static with an inverted DDT out of the giant swing! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! After the kickout, Rodez brings Scotty up to a seated position, then delivers a quick dropkick to the back of his neck. Scotty falls back to the canvas, and when he does Rodez runs to the ropes and leaps off, springboarding off the middle rope and turning his body so that he lands with a legdrop across Static's throat! He covers again, watching on as Nick Patrick hits the canvas. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT AGAIN! Rodez brings Scotty up and traps him in a headlock, but after a momentary struggle, Scotty shoves him off and into the ropes, then drops his head...and Leon puts on the brakes and reapplies the side headlock! Scotty struggles again, trying to move towards his corner, but Leon keeps him anchored...until Scotty tries a back suplex to get out of it! Leon lands on his feet, however, and spins Scotty around...but Static is ready, and strikes with a kick to the gut, then rattles Leon with a facecrusher, drilling his face into his knee! Scotty takes the wounded Rodez and holds him by the head, then throws him into GPX territory, trapping him in the corner as he tags in Jax. COLE The champions have done a good job of keeping the momentum going here in the first fall, but the challengers are coming back, as they've got Leon trapped in their turf! Scotty delivers a hard shoulderblock to the exposed ribs before he exits, and it keels Leon over. Jax locks on a front facelock and lifts Rodez off his feet, placing him on the top turnbuckle. He moves up the ropes as well, but when he grabs Leon he's met with rapid, clubbing blows to his side, as Rodez fights to prevent from being taken down to the mat. He shoves Johnny off as a last ditch attempt, then tries to balance himself on the top rope...but Static knocks his feet out from under him, and Rodez winds up crotched! This gives Johnny enough time to recover, and he pulls Leon off the ropes and lifts him for a suplex...only to drop him ribs first across the top rope! CABOOSE He took the wind right out of him, and...ooh, he just smacked his face on the apron! Caboose's call comes from Jax dropkicking Leon in the knee, knocking the fan favorite off balance and to the floor, but smashing his jaw on the apron in the process! Rodez is in a fog on the floor, crawling on all fours, and Jax goes out to continue the assault. He picks Leon up off the floor and then takes him by the head, hurling him into the guardrail backfirst. He then toys with Rodez, slapping him across the face before applying a front facelock, then dropping Silky Smooth on the floor with a snap suplex! COACH Johnny Jax with the attacks! CABOOSE So what, Crystal takes off, and you're a GPX groupie now? COACH Playa please, I'm just simply rooting for the right team. CABOOSE Says WHO? Jax scoops Leon off the floor and rolls him into the ring, smirking at referee Nick Patrick who doesn't appreciate the outside assault. Johnny steps into the ring and tags in Static, and then applies an abdominal stretch to Leon, leaving him wide open for a roundhouse kick from Static! Johnny then breaks the hold and shoves Leon towards Scotty, and Static scoops Leon up on his shoulders and then presses him up over his head and down onto his knee with a gutbuster! Leon rolls onto his back, clutching his ribcage, while Scotty backs into the ropes and comes off with a senton drop onto Rodez, dropping his body weight onto the already hurt ribs! Static gets up, and then charges the Suspects corner, nailing Zack with a cheap shot! Zack lunges over the ropes and tries to get Scotty but can't, and Patrick comes over to stand in his path. With Zack playing distraction, Scotty calls Johnny into the ring, and together they send Leon into the ropes and catch him coming off, hitting a double flapjack! Patrick turns around and Scotty rolls out of the ring, playing like he had made a tag, leaving Jax to take over on Rodez! COLE They're crafty... CABOOSE They're damn sneaks, but they're making it work in their favor. Rodez comes up, and he's yanked by the arm and sent towards the ropes, but Leon manages to counter in mid-whip and pull Jax towards him, then carry him over with a Northern Lights Suplex! ONE! T-NO! Jax bridges, and pushes up while still clutching onto Rodez. He swings around, holding Leon in a standing headscissors and lifts...but Leon drops out of his arms and to his feet, then grabs Johnny and delivers a headbutt! Jax backs away, holding his nose, while Leon turns to make the tag! He moves towards his corner, but Jax comes up from behind and grabs him by the waist, and hurls him overhead...but Leon lands on his feet, then waits for Jax to turn around...and NAILS him with a huracanarana! Jax lay stunned on the canvas, while Leon starts crawling towads his corner...but Jax recovers quickly and snags Leon by the ankle, pulling him away from Zack and then dropping an elbow across the back of his neck! Jax then puts the boots to Leon, and then charges Zack and knocks him off the apron, startling the prep! COLE Jax is getting desperate, he knows Rodez is close so he's trying to prevent the tag by any means necessary. Johnny leads Leon to his feet, and clubs him over the back with forearm shots, then wraps his arms around Leon and applies a bearhug, squeezing the life out of Leon and crushing his sore ribs! CABOOSE Jax going old school here, focusing on the injured area and wearing Leon down, keeping him at bay while Malibu anticipates a tag. Johnny squeezes hard, squishing Leon's ribs as he blocks him from getting to his corner. Rodez tries to push forward, but can barely move an inch, as every time he struggles, Johnny applies more pressure. Finally, Leon boxes Johnny's ears, and while it doesn't release the hold, it stuns the former fan favorite enough for Leon to try it a second time! Jax shakes it off, still squeezing the bearhug, but then breaks the hold on his own and slams Leon down, then hops up onto the middle rope and springboards back with a Vader style splash onto Leon! ONE! TWO! NO! Jax gets right up as soon as he sees his opponent kickout, and steps over him, springboarding up onto the middle rope and leaping backwards with another splash...but this time Leon is ready for it and gets his knees up! COLE Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, broken ribs! CABOOSE I dunno Mikey, that really didn't flow. COLE Eh, I tried. Jax rolls away, while Leon rolls onto his stomach and starts moving on all fours towards his corner... ...AND TAGS IN ZACK MALIBU~! COACH Great, here we go. CABOOSE You obviously need some sugar, because you're way too bitter these days. Sexual frustration has caught up with you. Malibu comes in the ring, and Jax leaves his feet as soon as he stands, as Malibu blasts him with a running lariat! Johnny gets up, but then Zack plants him with an inverted atomic drop and runs the ropes...and gets kicked in the back by Static! Malibu staggers forward, then turns around and NAILS Static with a right hand that knocks him off the apron and down to the floor, but when he turns to Jax he gets kicked, and then tied up in a pumphandle...JOHNNY'S LOOKING FOR THE BEAT DROP! He lifts, but Zack floats over his back, and then grabs him by the head, applying a sleeper...AND DROPS HIM WITH THE TRENDSETTER! ONE! TWO! NOOOOOOOOOOO! COLE These men are certainly giving it their all in the first fall! CABOOSE C'mon Coach, where's your "poet but you didn't know it" line? COACH Shut up. Zack picks Johnny up and whips him to the corner, then follows up with a corner lariat! Johnny is crushed against the turnbuckles and stays there, so Zack backs up and then runs across the ring again, this time delivering a diving corner splash that crushes Johnny for a second time! He brings Johnny out of the corner, but as he does Johnny takes Zack's legs out from under him, and catapults him over, right into the corner...NO! Zack uses the momentum to jump onto the middle rope, but Static is back on the apron and takes Zack by the head, leaping down to the floor and smashing Zack's head into the top turnbuckle! Zack falls off the roeps and staggers back, right into Johnny's waiting arms, as he hooks Malibu and lifts him up onto his shoulder before drilling his head into the canvas with the BEAT DROP~! COLE His head bounced off the mat like a superball! ONE! TWO! THREE! DING! DING! DING! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the first fall, THE GLOBAL PARTY EXCHANGE! CABOOSE The GPX are victorious in the first fall, and now the champs have to come back with two victories in a row to retain the titles! COLE The pressure is certainly on now. Patrick orders Johnny to the GPX corner, while Zack rolls on the canvas to over by the ropes. Candie checks in on her man, asking if he's OK, but he's only slightly responsive, as the Beat Drop knocked him for a loop. Leon, still smarting from the attack he suffered in the first fall, enters the ring and waves the GPX on, nominating himself to continue for his team in the second fall. The bell sounds as Jax comes forward, and the two tie up, with Leon gaining the advantage. He holds Jax down with a headlock, then spins around and takes Johnny to the mat with a drop toehold. He rolls Johnny over and goes for the legs, attempting to trap Johnny in one of numerous possible submissions, but Jax kicks Leon away, deflecting his attempts at trapping him. Both men get up and move toward each other, and Johnny takes Leon down by the legs, and tries to keep hold, but Leon kicks him away, just as Johnny did moments earlier. Once again they get back to their feet, and Johnny unleashes a brutal chop to the chest, one that cracks the skin of Leon's pectoral region. Rodez staggers back, then finds himself nailed with a pair of elbows before being sent to the ropes...but he reverses, pulling Johnny towards him and then tossing him overhead with a belly to belly suplex! CABOOSE Great counter by Rodez, and it sent Johnny heading for higher ground! Jax escapes the ring, as the GPX continue to bail during key moments of their opponents comeback to sway the momentum. Rodez isn't having it however, sliding under the bottom rope with a baseball slide and nailing Johnny in the side of the head! He rolls back into the ring, and prepares to springboard to the outside, but Static runs across the apron and pushes Leon back to the mat, saving his partner! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Static celebrates, turning and posing to the crowd, but he should be paying attention to Rodez, who is up on his feet. Leon spins Scotty around and tries to suplex him in, but Static reverses, pulling Leon up and dropping him on the apron! Both men fight on the apron, teetering, as they trade chops with one another, until finally Rodez gets the advantage and dumps Scotty into the ring! Furious, Static gets up and moves towards his foe, but gets rocked with an elbow, and then a shoulderblock! Rodez then slingshots in over Scotty's back and runs the ropes, allowing Zack to make a blind tag that Patrick catches...and then springboards off Scotty's back with a twisting crossbody block to the floor, crashing down onto Johnny Jackson! COLE AMAZING move by Leon Rodez, taking out Johnny Jax on the floor! Malibu is now the legal man, and as Static looks out to the floor to see what just happened, Zack sneaks up behind him and spins him around, striking Scotty with right hands before stepping back and then running forward, dumping him over the ropes with a lariat! CABOOSE He's gotten rid of that pest Static, now the Suspects just have to get Johnny back in the ring and keep working him over like they have, and they'll tie this contest up! Out on the floor, Rodez has Johnny by the head, and then takes Static and brings him up, and delivers a double noggin knocker to the GPX! Both stagger away, but Leon follows Johnny and shoves him onto the apron and pushes him into the ring, where Zack waits for him. Malibu pulls Johnny up and hits a snap suplex, but the popular prep rolls through with the move, keeping Johnny's head trapped and sitting down, locking him in a front guillotine choke! COLE Zack with the submission applied! Malibu applies pressure, wrenching his arm around the neck of the larger member of the GPX, trying to put him to sleep. Jax clubs at Zack's shoulders, trying to get him to break the hold, but Malibu isn't budging. He keeps the hold locked on tight, but Jax continues to flail his arms, showing that he's not out yet. Malibu then chooses to push up to his feet with Jax trapped, and delivers two knees to his chest while he's trapped in the hold, and then scoops Johnny up onto his shoulders and looks out to the crowd with a gleam in his eye before he starts spinning himself around... ...and around... ...and around... ...AND AROUND... ...AND AROUND... COLE Zack's got Johnny up in the airplane spin! Look at him go! CABOOSE We've seen him do this before, and it's certainly effective! COACH I'm getting dizzy. Malibu rotates round and round, spinning like a top in the center of the ring before dumping Johnny to the canvas after what seems like a hundred revolutions, and collapses himself! The crowd roars with approval as both men are down, applauding Zack's efforts to wear out the motivated, supposedly scorned former party animals. COLE Jax is looking up at the lights, but so is Zack, as he dizzied himself, and now it's a game of who can get to his feet first. Patrick does the standing ten count, because if neither man gets to his feet in time, the second fall is going to be ruled a draw. Rodez and Static both look on, silently praying that it's their partner who makes the first recovery. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Zack starts to slide himself near the ropes, but he's not off the canvas. Meanwhile, Johnny has his eyes opened, but he's only seeing stars. FIVE! SIX! Jax sits up and holds his head, moving it ever so slightly as he's still dazed by being spun around. SEVEN! Jax starts to come up to his feet, while Zack reaches up and grips the ropes, pulling himself up by grabbing onto each strand, until he's up on both feet. COLE They've both made it to their feet, and now will they tag out, or will they continue to battle on their own? Zack gets up, but doesn't know where he is at first. Same with Johnny, as he stands up but nearly falls back down again. He staggers back, just as Malibu turns, and Zack rushes forward once he spies Johnny, and picks him up off the canvas and throws him up over his shoulders, dropping him with the ANGLE SLAM~! CABOOSE THE ANGLE SLAM~! A move made famous by the very namesake of this company! Zack hits the move perfectly, and has the fans leaping out of their seats upon using it, but he's too dazed to make a pin immediately afterwards. After a few moments, he rolls over and crawls onto Jax's upper body, then hooks a leg, hoping to gain victory in the second fall of the Usual Suspects tag team title defense! ONE! TWO! THR-NO! STATIC PULLS ZACK OFF JOHNNY! COLE Oh COME ON! Static drags Zack off of his partner by the leg, then starts putting the boots to him, despite Patrick's objections. Static works Zack over, and when Patrick goes to back him up and get him out to the apron, he knocks the hands of the official away! CABOOSE Watch it their sport, you get DQ'd and this match is still tied up! Patrick has no luck with Scotty, but Leon Rodez decides to take matters into his own hands, coming into the ring and taking Scotty by the head and ramming him into the turnbuckle, then leads him by the head and swings around, hurling him over the ropes and out onto the ramp...but Scotty stays on his feet. Acting instinctively, he drives his shoulder through the ropes and nails Leon in the ribs, which drops Leon to all fours in pain, as he cluctches at the beaten and bruised body part. Scotty snickers, and then grips the top rope, preparing to launch himself into the air with a springboard, but as he springboards off the top rope Malibu races across the ring and spring off of Leon's back, going airborne himself... ...AND SPEARS SCOTTY STATIC OUT OF MID-AIR! COLE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MAN! COACH I gotta give props to that, I mean DAYUM! "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" Both men are down on the rampway, aching from the move, as they landed hard. Leon Rodez gets up and winces, but then sees his partner out on the ramp, and goes to the outside to see if Zack is OK. He leans over his partner and checks on him, but all of a sudden finds himself blasted in the side of the head with a running knee by Johnny Jax, who exits the ring to put all four men out on the ramp! He picks up Malibu and throws him back into the ring, then checks on Static and helps him to his feet. The GPX go to enter the ring, and Jax turns and sees Rodez starting to come to, so he runs up and floors him with a forearm across the back! COLE Both the GPX now have gotten Zack in the ring and isolated him, as Leon is licking his wounds on the rampway! In the ring, Scotty and Johnny don't listen to Patrick's orders, and lift Zack up, carrying him to the turnbuckles and then dropping him with a snake eyes across the top! Malibu crumbles to the canvas, but Scotty takes hold of him, then motions for Johnny to go to the top. Johnny obliges, and Static takes Zack and readies him for a powerbomb, but once he lifts Zack onto his shoulders Malibu counters with a huracanrana! CABOOSE He escaped Scotty's grasp, but watch out for Johnny up...OOOH! Malibu slowly rises up, but seeing Jackson balancing himself on the top, he lunges forward and crotches him on the top rope! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" Malibu climbs the ropes, and pulls Johnny out of the crotched position and up onto his shoulders, but as he does Static gets up and runs over...only for Zack to kick him square in the face! Static turns away holding his jaw, and when he moves towards the corner again, Zack blasts him with another kick to the face that drops him like a sack of potatoes! COLE He's knocked Scotty for a loop, but what's he gonna...wait, what?! Zack rests on the ropes, with Johnny on his shoulders in preparation for the Honor Roll, but now Leon has made his way over and taps Zack on the back, then starts climbing the turnbuckles. Leon takes a moment to make sure he has good footing, and then steps ONTO JOHNNY'S BACK, who is up on Malibu's shoulders... ...AND HITS THE FREAKIN' 450 SPLASH FROM OFF THE BODY OF JOHNNY JAX, DOWN ONTO SCOTTY STATIC! CABOOSE WHAT IN THE WORLD!?!??! Leon pounds on the canvas with one arm as he favors his ribs, which cannot feel good after splashing Static! Scotty rolls out to the apron, and with the space being cleared, Malibu leaps off the ropes with the HONOR ROLL~! somersault Samoan drop on Johnny Jax! COLE What a massacre! All four men are down, and I'll be damned if I would believe this stuff if I hadn't seen it here firsthand! Malibu takes a deep breath after hitting the movel, and simply rolls over, draping his arm across Johnny's chest. CABOOSE He could have him here, because Static isn't around to save him! ONE! TWO! THREE! DING! DING! DING! COLE HE GOT HIM! The Usual Suspects have tied this contest up! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the second fall, THE USUAL SUSPECTS! The match is now tied at one fall apiece! The crowd roars, but the champs aren't able to relish the moment, as they're boht worn and torn. Malibu breathes a sigh of relief, then rolls off of Johnny and stares at the ceiling, finally getting some rest. COLE We are in the third fall now, and that means it has come down to the wire. If you thought you've seen effort so far folks, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet. Leon drags Zack over to their corner before dropping down and seating himself against the turnbuckles. Nick Patrick tends to a groggy Johnny Jax, while Scotty Static, seeing that he was unable to save his partner from the pinfall, flips out at ringside! CABOOSE What's the matter, Scotty, finally realize you can't win this one? COACH You biased son of a bitch! CABOOSE EXCUSE me? Static goes over to Sofa Central and starts flipping out, pounding on the desk and sending papers flying everywhere, then waves a finger in the face of Michael Cole and Caboose, sparing Coach the humiliation. Scotty paces ringside, sore and angry, but then goes over to Michael Buffer and steals one of the tag team titles! COLE Hey, what's he doing there? Scotty conceals the title as best he can, and circles ringside, waiting for the right moment. He rolls into the ring as Johnny Jax keeps Nick Patrick busy by pretending to be unable to get up, and pulls on Patrick for support...but it's merely a distraction as Scotty slides into the ring and creeps up behind Zack, who is just getting to his feet...and when Malibu turns, he's BLASTED ACROSS THE FOREHEAD WITH A BELT SHOT! CABOOSE NO! Sonuva... Rodez sees what just happens and gives chase, but Scotty quickly rolls out of the ring and to the floor, with Leon following right behind. Static disposes of the evidence, tossing the belt back into Michael Buffer's lap, before entering the ring again. Leon continues to follow, and Scotty backs out of the ring onto the rampway, and Nick Patrick gets in Leon's way, trying to keep order as he doesn't know what happened. COLE Nick Patrick has no clue what Scotty Static just did, and look at the blood pouring from the forehead of Zack Malibu! Leon stops his chase and kneels down to tend to Zack, holding his head up and watching as the blood flows out of Zack's head and covers his forearms. Leon lays Zack down and rolls him over to the apron, but as he comes back up to his feet, Jax comes from behind and shoves him hard, chest-first, into the corner! Leon turns around, and Johnny takes him into gutwrench position, lifting him up across his shoulder like a Canadian backbreaker, then flips him downward across his knee with a modified gutbuster! Jax then hops over Rodez' body and slingshots onto the top rope and floats backwards with a split legged moonsault! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! CABOOSE Another kickout, but there's no telling how much more he can stand, especially with Zack in no condition to tag in. Jax pulls Leon up and sends him to the ropes, but follows him in and delivers a knee, then drags him back towards the center of the ring and yanks backwards on his head, slamming him to the canvas! Jax then drops down and starts pounding away, ramming his fists into Leon's temple before pulling him up and sending him into the GPX corner. Static makes the tag, and together the GPX start putting the boots to Leon's ribs, stomping him down in the corner. Jax exits the ring once Patrick reaches the five count, but Static keeps on Leon, holding him by the head and pummelling him just as Johnny did moments ago before driving his boot into the throat of the reigning tag champ! COLE They've got Leon across the ring from his partner where they're free to work him over, and all while Zack is still down and bloodied on the apron! Scotty drives the sole of his boot into the throat, but Patrick calls him off, warning him of such actions. Scotty backs off, then rushes forward and drives his knee into the side of Leon's head! Scotty then drags Leon out of the corner by his legs and then turns him over, trapping him in a Boston Crab! CABOOSE This is going to put a strain on both the lower back and the ribcage, and could easily help the Global Party Exchange become tag team champions yet again! Leon squirms, but cannot fight as much as he needs to to break given his weakened state. Static yanks back on the legs, putting the strain on even moreso. Leon continues to fight, ignoring Patrick completely and instead focusing on trying to reach the ropes to call for a break. He starts sliding, forcing Scotty to have to backstep just to keep the hold applied, but as he inches closer, Jax hops off the apron and stands at ringside, smiling at Leon as he pulls the bottom rope back and out of range! COLE He's just taunting him now, look at this! Jax mockingly waves Rodez on while still holding the rope back...until he's caught by Patrick! Nick Patrick shouts at Jax, who quickly releases the ropes and pleads his innocence! Sensing that Leon is going to be able to get the break, Scotty releases the hold and pulls Leon up, then rams his knee into the small of his back. He hooks Leon in an inverted facelock and lifts, but in mid-move Leon counters the reverse suplex with a reverse DDT, spiking Scotty's head on the canvas! CABOOSE Brilliant counter by Leon, using the momentum from Static's attempt to nail him with a move of his own! "LEEEEEE-ON!" "LEEEEEE-ON!" "LEEEEEE-ON!" COLE Listen to this crowd, rallying behind the champions! Rodez rolls onto his stomach and looks towards his corner, locking eyes with his partner. Zack, who has been kneeling on the apron slumped against the ropes, starts to come up to his feet, which pops the crowd huge! As the blood stains his face, Malibu comes up to a full standing position, and sticks his arm out for the tag! Candie calls to him and asks how he is, but he reassures her he's fine, as he stands in wait of Leon's tag. CABOOSE Zack is forcing himself to be there for Leon, but will the Usual Suspects be able to mount an offensive attack that will lead them to the win? COACH I don't think he's in any condition to finish this contest. The GPX are gonna take it, baybee! He's lost too much blood! Leon crawls, looking for his corner, while Static comes up holding his head. He turns to see Leon moving across the mat, and runs and delivers a basement dropkick to the side of Leon's head, then gets up and nails Zack, knocking him off balance! He then pulls Leon up and tugs on his arm, pulling him for a short arm clothesline...but Leon ducks under it and comes up behind Static...BLASTING HIM WITH A LUNGBLOWER~! COLE He wiped him out with that Lungblower, and now Leon needs to get to his corner! "LEEEE-ON!" "LEEEE-ON!" Rodez sits up and then turns, stretching his arm out towards his corner. Malibu, his face a crimson mask, stretches himself over the ropes, and both men try desperately to connect with the tag. Static isn't going to be able to get up in time, and Nick Patrick is making sure that Jax stays put, as Rodez gets closer and closer... ...AND MAKES THE TAG~! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!" Zack steps into the ring, causing Jax to rush in illegally and cut him off...but Zack grabs him and drops him with a MAIN EVENT SPINEBUSTER~! Zack backs away, but winds up snagged by Static, as he's snapped with a Russian...NO! Zack elbows Scotty in the face and then spins around, dropping Scotty with a downward spiral with one swift motion! He rolls Scotty onto his back and hooks the leg, and this could be it! ONE! TWO! THR-NO! KICKOUT! CABOOSE Close call right there! Malibu stays focused, pulling Scotty up and using a powerb-NO! Static falls through, landing on his feet just inches in front of Zack, and takes a swing...but Malibu dodges the haymaker and grabs a full nelson, then spikes Scotty with a full nelson slam! Zack spins around, just in time to see Jax coming at him, and he scoops Johnny up...and slams him onto his own partner! COLE He just scoop slammed Johnny Jax ONTO Scotty Static! Jax rolls off of Static, and both GPX are hurting now, as Malibu circles the ring to the delight of the crowd. He paces himself, and waits for the GPX to get up ,then charges and blasts them with a double clothesline! Malibu is on edge now, waving them on to get to their feet, and starts peppering BOTH of them with jabs, fighting both Johnny and Scotty at the same time! After striking Scotty with a right hand, Malibu is jabbed in the eye by Johnny's thumb, and together the GPX send Zack to the ropes, ready for a double clothesline of their own...but Malibu swats his arm down and breaks their arms apart, nailing Johnny with a back elbow to stagger him and then kicking Scotty in the stomach, and grabbing him by the head. He leaps off the mat and swings himself around, planting both feet into Jax's chest and knocking him down again before coming down to the canvas with Scotty's head tucked under his arm, drilling him with a swinging DDT! ONE! TWO! THREE! NO! NO! JOHNNY JAX MAKES THE SAVE! COLE Dammit, Jackson broke it up in the nick of time! Scotty breaks up the pin, and still will not leave the ring...so Rodez springs into action, diving from the top rope and into the ring with a huge crossbody! COACH It's breaking down big time! All four men are up on their feet and battling, and the Suspects take their respective GPX foes into opposite corners and hammer away; Malibu with punches and Leon with knife edge chops. Leon then backs away as Malibu launches Scotty across the ring, causing him to smash into Jax with an involuntary corner splash! He stumbles backwards, and then walks right into the waiting arms of Malibu, who hoists him up as Leon runs the ropes, and together the Suspects nail Static with a double team HART ATTACK~! COLE Leaping clothesline knocks Scotty out of the bearhug and to the canvas! The champs are going for the pin! ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEENO! JAX BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF ZACK'S HEAD! Jax gets up, pleased with himself...only to be BLASTED with a YAKUZA KICK from Leon that knocks him out through the ropes! Jax catches himself from falling, and starts to stand again using the ropes as a support, but Rodez notices and charges towards the corner, running up the ropes and then leaping to the outside, TAKING JOHNNY OFF THE APRON AND TO THE FLOOR WITH A FLYING HURACANRANA~! COACH YO~! CABOOSE I don't think EITHER of them are going to be getting up, which means it's down to Zack and Static! Both men are weary as they get to their feet, with Zack looking the worse for wear thanks to the earlier beltshot that split his forehead open. Scotty rocks him with a right hand, but Zack fires back. The two trade blows until Scotty catches Zack with a good shot to the bridge of the nose, knocking him against the ropes. Static pulls him up and sends him in, but Zack clings to the top rope and won't go. Scotty hits him with three chops to the chest that daze the popular superstar, and then pulls again, sending Zack into the far side...REVERSED...but Scotty hangs on instead of rebounding, and a rana attempt by Zack causes the preppy one to fall flat on his back hard! COLE Ugh, that couldn't have felt good! Static was able to avoid the attempt there, and now can capitalize and possibly bring home the gold to the Upstarts! Scotty watches on as Zack pushes up to his feet, nearly falling over in the process...but it's Scotty who catches him, as he grabs a rear waistlock and...NO! Zack starts fighting back, elbowing away to break as fast as he can, and then spins around, and plants Scotty with a German Suplex! He keeps it held, and rolls through with the move, lifting him up again and dropping him with another German! Malibu rolls through again, and by this point the fans are counting along, as Zack hits a THIRD German Suplex! He rolls through again, hitting a FOURTH one, but as he rolls through to his feet for the fifth attempt, Scotty elbows out of it, then spins around with a discus clothesline...DUCKED, and the arm is hooked...AND HE'S THROWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A HALF NELSON SUPLEX BY ZACK MALIBU~! CABOOSE HE COULD HAVE BROKEN HIS NECK! COACH See, and THAT'S the kinda guy you stick up for? Malibu falls to both knees, while Static lays with his face buried in the canvas. Both men have exhausted all their efforts trying to one-up the other tonight. Their partners are down at ringside, and there is not much fight left in either of them. Malibu tilts his head, the blood dripping down onto the mat and staining it, while Scotty slowly lifts his head off the mat, favoring his neck. He sees Malibu worn down and hurting, and he slowly rises to his feet. Scotty inches closer, still holding his head with one hand... ...AND ZACK BURSTS UP AND BLASTS HIM WITH THE SCHOOL'S OUT~! COLE HE REELED HIM IN! CABOOSE Zack played possum! Scotty goes down like he's been shot, and Zack hooks a leg for insurrance, just to make sure this is it. ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! DING! DING! DING! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen here are your winners, and STILL the OAOAST WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...THE USUAL SUSSSSSSPECTSSSSSS! "Beverly Hills" hits as Zack rolls off the body of Static, and is tended to quickly by both Nick Patrick and Candie. Rodez gets up moments later, himself hurting from this exhausting contest, and he rolls into the ring to regroup with his partner and his ladyfriend. Patrick and Candie both help Zack up, and together they raise the arm of the man who got the pinfall. Leon then comes over and makes sure that Zack is still coherent, and with Patrick still holding onto Zack's hand, Zack and Candie each take one of Leon's hands and raise his arms up high, as this victory is just as much his. COLE What a matchup, definitely one for the ages, and one that The Upstarts feel they could do without. The Usual Suspects earn a hard fought victory two falls to one here tonight at World Without End, although I've got to say, there doesn't appear to be an end in sight just yet for this Civil War. COACH That ain't the last they'll see of the GPX, belie' dat! CABOOSE When did you become an informant? Taking lessons from Russo now? Candie holds the belts for her guys, and then passes them along when they all exit the ring. The three of them walk up the ramp, the two grapplers relishing in their victory despite their beaten states. Together they turn and raise the belts up over their heads, getting another loud pop from all of their fans, before heading to the back. COLE The tag team champions retain, but we know for a fact we'll have a new World Champion tonight. Fans, there is a lot more to be seen at World Without End, and we've got more for you right now!

Saturday Night's All Right hits and the crowd POPS for Jay Richards. COLE And all of that lead to this, let's go to Michael Buffer! BUFFER The following contest is a Fatal four-way match, for the OAOAST Heartland championship. Introducing first, the challengers. First, from Orange City, Iowa, he weighs 199 pounds...tonight, he has decided to become his own man, and step out on his own mission, that being to become the OAOAST Heartland champion. Ladies and Gentlemen...JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Y RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRICHARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! The crowd gives Jay a nice reaction for his comments earlier, as he walks with eyes focused only on the ring. COLE Jay Richards getting a nice reaction here in Cleveland, earlier tonight, he declared the death of CSI, Coach. COACH Well, I don't know if that's his call to make, but it appears he no longer wants to be associated with Chris Stevens. COLE And of course, conspicuous by his absence is Jumbo, so I can only presume he'll remain by the side of Chris Stevens tonight. A cold, dark voice begins to speak the ungodly hymn over the loud speakers, as smoke begins to cover the entrance way. "Come on God, Answer Me. For Years, I've Been Asking You Why? Why are the Innocent Dead and the Guilty Alive? Where is Justice? Where is Punishment? . . . . . . . . . . . Or Have You Already Answered? Have You Already Said to the World, Here is Justice. Here is Punishment. Here.... In Me." Punishment by Biohazard hits and Brock Ausstin comes through the curtains to a nice pop. BUFFER The second challenger hails from Victoria, Minnesota, and is the biggest man in the contest at 320 pounds...the Monster, BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCK AUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! Brock does his Happy Happy Hoss Dance~! from across the ring from Richards, as the familiar music hits. *dun dun* *dun dun* *dun dun* *dun dun* WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARRRRRRRRRRRE YOU? WHO WHO, WHO WHO! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARRRRRRRRRRRE YOU? WHO WHO, WHO WHO! Chris Stevens walks through the curtains to enormous boos, also without Jumbo by his side. COLE And no Jumbo by the side of Stevens, either! COACH Maybe the big guy didn't want to choose sides in this whole thing! BUFFER Challenger number 3 hails from Rochester, Minnesota, and weighs in at 220 pounds. The leader of the former CSI, a former OAOAST 24/7 champion...CHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVENNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Stevens climbs in the ring and immediately starts jawing with Richards from across the ring. Then Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat/Howling at the Moon hits and the crowd goes NUTS as Alf walks down the aisle. COACH And HERE'S THE CHAMP! BUFFER And the final participant...he weighs in tonight at 245 pounds...he is a former OAOAST World champion, and the reigning, and defending, OAOAST Heartland champion...ALFDOGG!!!!! Alf slides into the ring, and the bell rings. *DING DING DING* Alf brawls with Stevens on one side of the ring, as Brock and Richards go at it on the other. Alf gives Stevens a kick to the gut, then puts him in a headlock and drives him into Brock with a BATTERING RAM!!! Brock rolls from the ring, then Richards comes at Alf, who jumps and grabs Stevens in a headscissors. Alf twirls his left arm in the air, then takes BOTH Stevens and Richards over with a headlock/headscissor combo! COLE Beautiful move, and Alf in control of this thing by himself early! Stevens and Richards are sent out of the ring right in front of Brock, who catches them and gives them a DOUBLE NOGGIN KNOCKER!!! Alf stands at the ring ropes waiting, as Stevens and Richards stagger back towards Brock, then flips over with a SOMERSAULT PLANCHA~!!! However, Alf lands with all legs on the three men, and as a result falls back and hits on the back of his head on the floor! COLE NICE high-flying move by Alf, but it appears he hurt himself on that one as well! COACH Well, that's the risk of doing moves like that, Cole! Alf's just lucky there's protective mats here! It's not much, and I'm sure Alf can testify to that right now, but it's certainly better than nothing! All four men lay around on the floor for about five seconds, then Richards makes it to his feet and rolls Alf into the ring. Richards with a quick cover... 1.......... 2................. Kickout! COACH Can't fault Jay right there, he saw Alf holding his head, and thought he may be able to sneak a pin out of it! Richards picks up Alf, then runs with him towards the ropes and jumps over, dropping Alf's neck on the ropes ala Randy Savage. Richards then jumps back up on the apron, and slings over with a guillotine legdrop! Richards with another cover... 1........... 2.................... Kickout! On the floor, Stevens has grabbed a chair, and SMACKS Brock over the head with it! COLE What a CHAIRSHOT by Stevens! That should put Brock out of this thing for a while! Stevens climbs onto the apron, and catches Richards with a chairshot as he comes off the ropes! Stevens climbs into the ring, and picks up Richards, giving him a vertical suplex! Stevens covers... 1....... 2................. Kickout! COLE Chris Stevens getting a two-count on his now FORMER associate! Stevens reaches down to grab Richards, but Richards pulls him over into an inside cradle! 1............... 2......................... Kickout!!! Stevens pops up and drives an elbow into the back of Richards' head, and then a second! Alf rolls out of the ring as Stevens ascends the top rope...and comes off with an elbow!!! ...but Richards rolls out of the way! Alf finds a KENDO STICK under the ring as the crowd starts to cheer! Alf twirls the stick around, then runs around the ring and BLASTS Brock on the head, who is still making his way back to the ring from the aisleway! COLE Great presence of mind by Alf, keep the big guy out of the equation! Alf then rolls into the ring and twirls the stick again, then as Stevens gets up, gives him a shot to the gut! Then one to the back! Alf holds the stick up to the screaming crowd, then gives Richards a blow to the back, causing him to fall through the ropes to the floor! Alf picks up Stevens in a standing fireman's carry, then twirls him around, dropping him with the WhipLash!!! Alf leans forward and grabs a leg... 1........... 2.................... Stevens is able to kick out! Richards is outside the ring pulling TABLES out from underneath it, as Alf picks up Stevens for a snap suplex! Cover... 1.................. 2......................... Kickout!!! COACH Another near fall, and it looks like Jay's doing some redecorating outside the ring! Jay sets up two tables right beside each other, then one more right on top of it! Meanwhile, in the ring, Alf gives Stevens a belly-to-belly overhead suplex! Alf then awaits Stevens to stand up, and follows with a T-Bone suplex! Alf starts to cover, then notices a bloodied Brock on the apron grabbing the steel chair! COLE Brock was busted open by that last shot from the stick by Alf, it seems! Alf runs to one side of the ropes, and as luck would have it, Brock raises the chair in front of his own face as he's getting into the ring, and Alf BASEBALL SLIDES the chair back into his face!!! COACH And Brock STILL unable to get into the ring! No doubt, that's been a HUGE factor, no pun intended, in this match! Alf then goes to the outside again and grabs...a CHEESEHEAD??? COLE What the hell? COACH Why not? It works on No Mercy! Alf slams the cheesehead down on Brock's head, drawing laughter from some of the audience. He then grabs it again and puts it on, and rolls into the ring with the chair. Richards is waiting with another chair, and SLAMS it on Alf's cheesehead, only to have it bounce back and hit Richards in his own face! COLE Only in the OAOAST does a cheesehead somehow fit in with match psychology! Alf delivers a MASSIVE chairshot to an already bloodied Richards! Alf covers... 1................ 2................................ Richards gets his foot on the rope! COACH No three-count there! Jay got his foot on that middle rope! Alf looks to his right and sees Brock FINALLY sliding into the ring! Alf grabs a chair and CRACKS Brock on the back! COLE Brock FINALLY in the ring, but Alf makes him pay with that chairshot! Alf then grabs Brock's legs, and hooks him in a SHARPSHOOTER!!! COACH SHARPSHOOTER!!! Brock screams in pain, but is close to the ropes. Alf quickly realizes this, and pulls Brock away! COLE And it's right in the middle now! I think Brock may have to tap here, he could be the first elimination! Brock slowly pulls himself towards a corner. At this point, Richards recovers and rushes at Alf from the opposite corner, so Alf releases on Brock and applies the hold to Richards!!! COLE And now Richards feeling the pain of Alf's Sharpshooter! COACH ... Alf hangs onto the hold, until Stevens rolls back into the ring, trashcan in hand, and approaches Alf from the side, giving him a shot with the can! COLE Stevens back in the mix with a garbage can, and now it looks as if though Alf as been busted, as well! Stevens walks over to Brock, and gives him a shot with the can! He then walks slowly towards Richards, with a big smile on his face, and raises the can...but Richards is able to score with a low blow! Stevens falls backwards to the mat. Everyone lays on the mat, as the crowd gives an appreciative standing ovation for the match! COLE And this crowd loves it here in Cleveland! What an ovation for these four great athletes! Stevens and Richards both make it back to their feet at about the same time. Stevens carries the trashcan over, only to have Richards dropkick it back into his face! Stevens falls through the ropes backwards and to the floor. At this point, Brock finally has his senses back, and DRILLS Richards with a clothesline! Alf gets one as well! Richards is back up, and is the recipient of a press slam from Brock! Alf takes a belly-to-belly overhead suplex! COLE Brock is back, and he's ON A ROLL!!! Brock grabs Richards by the arm, and whips him into a corner, catching him coming back with a big backdrop! COACH Look at the HEIGHT on that move, Cole! At this point, the fans start standing and looking towards the entranceway, and boos are heard as the camera pans over to show Rick Heyross walking down the aisle! COLE Wait a minute, what the hell is Heyross doing here? COACH I don't know, but you can bet he has something on his mind! You know how this man feels towards Brock Ausstin! The camera goes back to the ring to show Stevens return, and get met with a Brock clothesline! Brock then sets up the F-STUNNER-5, but when he turns, he spots Heyross! COLE And Brock's spotted him! Brock then drops Stevens and starts jawing with Heyross. COACH Brock, you gotta pay attention to the match here, you can't get distracted! As Brock points the finger at Heyross, Heyross starts backpedaling and laughs. At that exact point, Stevens rolls up Brock and grabs the tights!!! 1.............. 2............................... 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COLE DAMN IT! Brock Ausstin eliminated thanks to distraction by Rick Heyross! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1st elimination: Brock Ausstin (7:23) eliminated by: Chris Stevens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heyross is already halfway down the aisle, when Brock rolls out of the ring after him! Heyross makes a serious break for it, with Brock in hot pursuit! COACH I think Rick just did the 100-yard dash in about 4.5! COLE And we're down to three men now! Alf gets up, and comes at Stevens with a superkick! Stevens ducks, however, and picks up Alf in an electric chair position! Stevens carries Alf to the ropes, right by the tables, as the crowd starts to stir. Alf pounds at the head of Stevens, but Stevens pushes Alf's feet forward, causing Alf to do a backflip over the top rope, THROUGH ALL OF THE TABLES!!!!! COLE OH MY GOD!!!!! Alf lays not moving on the floor! CROWD: HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! COACH I gotta agree with Cleveland on this one, Cole! Stevens then goes to work on his former friend, Jay Richards, giving him a DDT! Stevens covers... 1............... 2............................... NO! Richards kicks out! Stevens grabs a chair and sets it up. He then picks up Richards and whips him into the ropes, giving him a drop toehold onto the chair! COLE Face-first into the chair goes Richards! Cover... 1............. 2..................... Kickout!!! COLE Another near-fall there! Jay Richards refuses to quit here! Alf finally starts to stir a little bit on the floor, as Stevens turns Richards over and applies a Regal stretch! COACH Submission hold applied! Could our second elimination come by a tapout here? COLE Meanwhile, Alf finally starting to move a little bit on the floor, thank God he's OK! COACH No doubt, Alf could have just as easily landed on his head on those tables the way he was sent off! Richards struggles, and after about fifteen seconds of fighting it, finally makes it to the ropes! COLE Referee has to break the hold now! Stevens waits for Richards to get to his feet, then runs to the ropes and tries for a DIAMOND CUTTER~! but Richards shoves Stevens off, right onto the set-up chair! COACH GREAT counter by Jay, and Chris landed really bad on that chair! COLE And now Chris has the chair! Richards with a NASTY chairshot, and Stevens is busted WIDE open! Richards has a very aggressive look on his face, and is about to deliver another shot, but Stevens quickly hops to his knees and feverently begs Jay off! Stevens puts his hands together, and you can read his lips apologizing to Richards! COLE And look at this! Look at Stevens beg off, what a coward! Stevens, with palm outstretched, slowly makes it to his feet, then holds both arms out and appears to be convincing Jay not to go through with it. Stevens then holds his hand out for a handshake. COLE A HANDSHAKE after all this??? Is he nuts? Jay looks around the crowd for a few seconds, then accepts Chris's hand! COLE I can't believe it. Both Stevens and Richards raise their hands to the crowd as they're showered with boos, then suddenly Stevens snatches the chair from Richards' hand, and takes a wild swing! Jay, however, ducks...and HOOKS THE CROSSFACE CHICKEN WING~!!!!!11111 The crowd cheers loudly! COLE CROSSFACE~! CROSSFACE~! He's got it hooked! Jay kicks the chair from Chris's hand, then jumps and hooks his legs around Stevens' waist, dropping to the mat with the hold! Jay jerks back and forth for a few seconds, and Chris slowly fades! Just then, the crowd starts to stir, and the cameraman quickly adjusts just in time to catch Alf nailing the FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 on both men on the mat to an ENORMOUS pop!!!!! COACH WHOA!!! COLE Alf out of NOWHERE with the five-star!!! Alf rolls over and covers Jay... 1.............. 2........................................ 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The referee counts... ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 EIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alf sits up, and the crowd cheers him on! Alf and Stevens get to their feet at the same time, and exchange right hands. COLE Alfdogg and Chris Stevens, one of these bloodied and battered men will walk out of here with the Heartland title tonight! Alf gets the better of the exchange, but Stevens goes to the eyes! Stevens whips Alf, but Alf reverses, and catches Stevens with a AA SPINEBUSTER~!!! Alf covers... 1...................... 2.................................... NO!!! Stevens barely kicks out! Alf attempts a suplex, but Stevens drops behind the back, and shoves Alf into the corner. Stevens catches Alf in tombstone position, but Alf flips backwards and turns it over! Stevens then flips to the side, then Alf flips to the side again! Stevens is close to the ropes, and uses his feet to push around and reverse AGAIN, but Alf flips backwards one more time...and COMPLETES the move to a loud pop! COLE TOMBSTONE!!! Alf drops down for the cover, as the crowd begins to boo! Alf quickly grabs a chair, as JUMBO hops on the apron, only to be met with a BIG chairshot and sent back to the floor! COLE Jumbo's here! I guess now we know where Jumbo's loyalty really lies! Alf runs to the other side of the ring, then comes back with a TOPE CON HILO on Jumbo!!! The crowd goes NUTS as Alf pounds Jumbo on the floor! Just then, Jay Richards rolls back into the ring and grabs the other chair, as Stevens makes it to his knees. Richards has a sadistic smile on his face. COACH Uh-oh... COLE Jay Richards never left ringside! This spells BIG trouble for Chris Stevens! Alf slides back into the ring...and as he does, Richards turns around and BLASTS HIM WITH THE CHAIR!!!!! COLE WAIT A MINUTE!!! The crowd showers Richards with boos, who turns and looks at Stevens again, keeping the smile the whole time. Stevens then rises up and joins in on the smile, then embraces Richards with a big hug! COACH Oh, MAN! I love it!!! COLE There was never any dissention! This was all a big RUSE by the CSI!!! Stevens gets down and covers Alf... 1........................ COLE DAMN IT!!! NO!!! 2................................................ COLE NOT THIS WAY!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Alf gets a shoulder up! COLE YES!!! Alf able to kick out! Richards gets down and holds the arms of Alf, motioning Jumbo into the ring for the XL SPLASH~!!! Jumbo rolls in and runs to the ropes, but Alf pulls Richards forward, causing him to get splashed by his own cohort! Alf then delivers a LOW BLOW to Stevens!!! Just then, TEAM HEYROSS makes its way down to the ring! COLE And help is on the way for Alf! Alf has Stevens positioned for a powerbomb, when Quentin Benjamin slides in and hits Alf with a superkick!!!!! COLE WHAT THE HELL!!!!! This has turned into a five-on-one affair here! Moss sets up Alf on the ropes, and Benjamin jumps over the back with a guillotine!!! They then take Alf down with a DOUBLE GOOZLE, and Stevens covers again... COLE DAMMIT, THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!! 1................. 2................................. 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Alf gets a shoulder up yet again! COLE UNBELIEVABLE~!!! Alf STILL refuses to quit! Stevens lets Alf rise to all fours, and suddenly, Heyross runs back through the curtains, and through one side of the ring to the other! Brock Ausstin follows, and the CSI and Team Heyross quickly clear the ring! Brock stops at the ropes and stares down Heyross, as Alf struggles to his feet...and suddenly, BROCK TURNS AND DELIVERS AN F-STUNNER-5 TO ALF!!!!! COLE ... COACH OHHHHH, BABY!!! The CSI is BACK, SON! Brock gives an evil grin to Alf on the mat, and Stevens slides in and covers... 1....................... 2................................................ 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COLE I'll be DAMNED!!! *DING DING DING* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3rd elimination: Alfdogg (14:21) eliminated by: Chris Stevens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BUFFER The winner of the contest...and NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW OAOAST Heartland champion...CHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVENNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! COLE I don't believe this! This was all a premeditated plan by the Heyross conglomerate and the CSI, which seemingly, once again now, includes Brock Ausstin! And as a result, we have a new OAOAST Heartland champion, and his name is Chris Stevens! COACH Like music to the ears, right Cole? Stevens stands on the chest of Alf, and raises the belt with one hand. He then is picked up on his shoulders by Team Heyross, who parades around the ring with him. COLE ...I don't know. This makes me absolutely SICK. Let's go back to Josh, or Maria, or SOMEWHERE away from this shit. Hell, cut to a HHH promo for all I care. COACH ...OK, NOW you're going crazy.

COLE Coming up next, it's a fatal four-way match for the OAOAST Heartland championship! Alfdogg defends against Chris Stevens, Jay Richards, and Brock Ausstin! A lot of interesting stuff leading up to this one, let's take a look! CALVIN I've got someone for you, all right. He's returning tonight, for the first time since License to Pin. Tonight, Alf, you're going to defend your title against...BROCK AUSSTIN. *Brock Ausstin is shown walking to the ring for his match, then doing his Happy Happy Hoss Dance~! in the ring. Alf is then shown walking to the ring.* COLE Alf staring down Brock Ausstin. This is the first time these two have ever met in a match. CALVIN Yes. And I've booked him against Alfdogg for the OAOAST Heartland title. Now, I'm sure if you were to help Brock win that title tonight, you could get back on his good side. Just something to think about. ... And should you succeed...I'll make sure you get a shot at that title at World Without End. So, do we have a deal? STEVENS Absolutely! *screen fades to black, then returns* Rick Heyross walks onto the screen, flanked by Team Heyross, and puts his arm around Richards. HEYROSS JAY RICHARDS! I'm glad to see you here tonight. Now I know we've had our differences over the past few weeks, but we share a common hatred. Do you know what that is? ... We both hate...BROCK AUSSTIN. You see, Brock Ausstin STABBED ME in the BACK. And he did the same to you guys in the CSI. ... I bet if you went out there and helped Alf successfully retain his title against Brock Ausstin, he'd be more than happy to give you a title shot at World Without End. And could you imagine the bragging rights you would have if you took Alf's Heartland title on Pay-Per-View, just three months after your leader failed to get the job done? *Richards starts to grin, and nods in agreement along with Team Heyross.* RICHARDS I like the way you think sometimes, Heyross. *cut to match clips between Alf and Brock* The camera focuses in on Chris Stevens, who shoves Alf off the top rope! COLE That's Chris Stevens! Remember the conversation he had with Calvin earlier! Stevens slides into the ring, runs off the ropes, and drops Alf with a DIAMOND CUTTER~!!! COACH You can tell how bad he wants another crack at that Heartland title! Stevens pats Brock on the face, trying to revive him. As he's doing this, Jay Richards sneaks down the aisle and ducks down below the apron. Brock gives another weird look to Stevens, but pulls himself up again as Stevens attempts to revive the official. As he turns to do this, Richards quickly slides in and gives Brock a chop block to the front of his knee, and then slides out as if nothing had happened! ... Stevens hops out of the ring, and exchanges words with his stablemate! They each shove each other with one hand, then Brock grabs Richards around the neck, and attempts to drag him into the ring, but Richards goes to the eyes of Brock, then pulls him outside, where he looks on confused as Stevens and Richards continue to argue. Alf breaks up the confusion with a HANDS-FREE PLANCHA, taking out all three men!!! COLE Alf FLIES again!!! What a match this has been!!! All four men lay around on the floor for a few seconds, then Alf rolls Brock back into the ring. Richards crawls over and grabs the Heartland title belt, then rolls into the ring and flies at Brock...who ducks, and Richards collides into Alf with the belt! ... Stevens slides into the ring and waits for Alf to get to his feet. Alf and Brock struggle to their feet at the same time. Stevens hops across the ring, and delivers a SUPERKICK!!! ...but Alf ducks, and STEVENS HITS BROCK!!!!! COLE OH MY GOODNESS... COACH DE JA VU from License to Pin! Brock is down and out!!! Alf catches Stevens with an overhead belly-to-belly, and Stevens bounces over the bottom rope to the floor! Alf then slowly climbs to the top as the crowd reaches a fever pitch...and flies off with the FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH to Brock, who is nearly two-thirds of the way across the ring!!! 1.............. 2............................. 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *DING DING DING* COLE ALF RETAINS AGAIN! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MATCH!!! BUFFER The winner of this bout...and STILL OAOAST Heartland champion...ALFDOGG!!! *screen fades to black, then returns* CALVIN ...at World Without End, it's going to be Alfdogg once again defending his Heartland title against Brock Ausstin! ... STEVENS Wait a minute, Calvin, you promised me a title shot if I helped Brock in that match... RICHARDS Wait a minute...Heyross told me Alf would give me a shot if I helped him out! STEVENS What??? RICHARDS I deserve this shot more than Brock Ausstin! STEVENS But not as much as me! Come on, Calvin! RICHARDS Oh really, now? I don't think that was ME getting my ass stomped in a ladder match at License to Pin! STEVENS What are you saying? *Alf walks into the office* ALF If you want my opinion...I'd be willing to take on either one of you at World Without End. But the way this is going, I don't think this place is big enough for the both of you. *Alf puts his arm on Calvin's shoulder* ALF How does this sound...tonight, right here in Montreal...(*thumbs up, cheap pop*) Chris Stevens vs Jay Richards. Whoever wins, can take on me AND Brock at World Without End. CALVIN You know Alf, for once you're right. I'm going to make that match. The winner goes on to a Triple Threat Heartland title match at World Without End. *cut to match clips* Stevens gets on his knees and begs off Richards. He then offers his hand, which after hesitation Richards accepts, but Stevens grabs his tights and pulls him into the exposed buckle! Richards staggers backwards and falls down, then Stevens goes to the top, and comes off with a FROG SPLASH!!! But Richards rolls out of the way, and catches one arm coming down, then quickly flips over and locks in a CROSS-FACE CHICKEN WING~!!!111 COACH WHAT A COUNTER by Richards! Stevens keeps an arm up on the third lift! He then turns over on top of Richards, resulting in a pinning combination... 1...................... 2............................................ 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Stevens tapped out, simultaneously!!! COACH What a counter by Stevens, and he got the pin! Stevens is going to WWE for a Heartland title shot! COLE Wait a minute, Coach, Stevens tapped out! Richards should be going to WWE! CALVIN ...at World Without End, for the OAOAST Heartland Championship, it will be the champion, Alfdogg... VERSUS Brock Ausstin... VERSUS Chris Stevens... VERSUS Jay Richards! COLE WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT by Calvin Szechstein! *screen fades to black, then returns* COACH CSI making their way down to the ring for some six-man action here, against a very oddly matched trio! FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 on JUMBO!!!!! Alf bounces to his feet...right into a Heartland title belt shot from Richards! COLE Richards with the title belt right between the eyes of Alf! Richards tosses the belt to the outside and covers, as the referee turns around... 1.................. 2..................................... 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *DING DING DING* COLE DAMN IT! COACH WHOA! COLE Jay Richards has stolen one from Alf here tonight! Richards celebrates in the ring, as Stevens watches on in disbelief. COLE THERE'S BROCK! COACH Jay...turn around! Brock takes Richards out to ringside, and sets up an F-STUNNER-5 by the announcers' booth! Team Heyross steps in front of Brock, holding their arms out. They then pick up Stevens in a double suplex and set HIM on Brock's shoulders, as well! Jumbo steps in front and begs Brock off, then LAYS on the announcers' table! Brock looks for a second, then shrugs and delivers an F-STUNNER-5, taking out all three CSI'ers and the announcers' table! COLE OH MY GOD!!! Look at the carnage left by Brock Ausstin! Brock grabs the belt as Alf comes to and crawls to the end of the ring, and holds it up for Alf to see. COLE And is this the visual that awaits us in ten days from Cleveland, Ohio, at World Without End? Only time will tell! *screen fades to black, then returns* *clips from Thursday's battle royal are played.* COLE And we're ready for a big battle royal to kick off HeldDOWN, and I really like the stip behind this, Coach! COACH Exactly, choose the right to face one of the three reigning singles champions, if you win this thing. ... Richards attempts a piledriver on TK, but TK grabs the legs and sets him up for a slingshot! Stevens lifts Reject up for the suplex, only to collide with his own stablemate, courtesy of a slingshot from TK! Both Reject and Stevens go tumbling to the floor! COLE More mishaps within CSI, ... Suddenly, Richards hits a huge dropkick to the back of Brock, and Brock drops X to the floor! Brock hangs upside down on the top rope, and Richards give one last push.... ....and SENDS BROCK TO THE FLOOR~!!! COLE THAT'S IT!!! COACH JAY DID IT!!! *cut backstage* STEVENS What the hell are you doing out there? If you're going to eliminate me, at least be a man and do it face-to-face. RICHARDS Tonight, I'm going to make it up to you, Chris. I've already told Calvin who I plan to face tonight, and tonight, I'm challenging Alfdogg for the Heartland title, one-on-one. STEVENS Now wait a minute, Jay, this isn't how the plan was supposed to go... RICHARDS Well, to be perfectly frank...I think your plan SUCKS. I beat Alf last week, and this week, I'm going to do it again. And this time, I'm going to do something you couldn't do, and take his title. *Richards walks out of the room, leaving Stevens and Jumbo with shocked looks on their faces.* *cut to match* *Richards and Alfdogg are shown making their entrances.* COLE The Heartland title getting ready to be defended, right now! Alf reverses an Irish whip, and Richards comes back with a CRUCIFIX...but releases his legs from the hold and reapplies the CROSS-FACE CHICKEN WING once again!!! COACH It's locked in again!!! At this point, Chris Stevens slides in on an opposite corner, and waits for Jay to turn Alf towards him. When he finally does, Chris goes for a superkick! ... But Alf is able to get away, and the kick connects with Richards!!! COACH OH NO!!! Stevens' kick accidentally connecting with Richards, who's down! *an instant replay then reveals that Stevens did a shuffle as Alf was moving, then went ahead with the kick on his cohort!* COLE That didn't look accidental from the replay, Coach! COACH What are you implying? COLE ...that it wasn't an accident, what the FUCK do you think??? Alf gives Stevens a shot with the trashcan, sending him from the ring! Alf then climbs the top once again... FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 1............ 2........................ 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 *DING DING DING* BUFFER The winner of this bout...and STILL OAOAST Heartland champion...ALFDOGG! COLE Well, NOW we know who will go into World Without End as the Heartland champion in three days from Cleveland, Ohio! And I think Chris Stevens is going to have some explaining to do to his associate! Alf pulls himself to his feet, and raises the belt, then spots Brock Ausstin standing at the entranceway! Brock mockingly claps his hands in approval, and Alf raises the belt once again, making sure Ausstin sees it.

COLE We're gonna keep things moving. Let's go back up to the ring. BUFFER World Without End continues with tag team action, and it is set for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by the foxiest honey in South Central L.A., Shyanne; at a total combine weight of 535 pounds, the SOUTH CENTRAL MILITIA! Not surprisingly, the South Central Militia are greeted rudly. In a clear shot at Holly-Wood, the woman she injured, Shyanne leads the SCM to the ring wearing tight leather pants and jacket over a white t-shirt, sending the male hormones into overdrive. But that isn't the only part of the SCM's entrance that stands out. There's no music, which in some ways incite the crowd ever further. COLE Never in my 8-plus years in this sport have I seen a group of individuals so cold. For Shyanne, a woman I describe as a cold-hearted bitch, to come out here mocking Holly-Wood's appearance, it sickens me. Absolutely sickens me. I commend General Manager Calvin Szechstein for some of the decisions he's made, but I think he's totally wrong in allowing those 3 individuals to compete while Holly and the Heavenly Rockers remain on the shelf. COACH Haven't they ever heard of playing with pain? COLE You gotta be kidding me! They nearly broke Holly's neck; they broked Synth's arm...again; and Logan is broken emotionally. COACH Holly's neck wasn't broken; Synth's arm will heal; and Logan can buy another bitch! COLE I can't believe you. COACH Believe it. BUFFER And their opponents. From the state of Oklahoma, weighing 525 pounds, the SOONER BRUUUUISERS! The crowd is solidly behind the Sooner Bruisers, Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" blaring in the background. Frank and Frankie noticably banged up, particularly Frankie, whose ribs are taped. But that doesn't stop them from heading to the ring confidently. The Sooners are completely focused on the men in the ring, not letting them out of their sight. Frank takes off his sunglasses, revealing a black eye. COLE There you see it, ladies and gentlemen. Results from the sneak-attack perpetrated by the South Central Militia. Now we know why the Sooner Bruisers weren't in attendence the night Jim Cornette gave the South Central Militia's answer to their challenge. COACH We don't know that for a fact. COLE Isn't the visual edvidence enough? CABOOSE For all we know, it could've been a bad fall. COACH Exactly. COLE You two should listen to what you say on the shows sometimes. The BS that comes out of your mouths is staggering. COACH Much like what just came out of Frank's mouth. Not only did he cuss Marcellus out, but he called his sister a "whore"! That's no whore, that's the foxiest honey in South Central L.A., baby. Frank's comments obviously doesn't fly well with Marcellus and Vincent, who try baiting the Sooners into the ring. They know they're going to be hit once they step through the ropes, despite Nick Patrick's best efforts to keep the SCM away, but they do so anyway, ready to fight. Marcellus and Vincent hammer the Sooners across the back as they step into the ring. It doesn't take long for the Sooner Bruisers to fight back. Nick Patrick attempts to regain some order, but the situation degenerates into an unsanction Texas Tornado match, with all 4 men slugging it out. Marcellus stuns Frank with a kick to the mid-section, and tries following up by whipping the Man of Tomorrow to the ropes, but Frank reverses and connects with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Frank scoopes Marcellus off the mat and fires him to the corner while Vincent Santana shows the viewing public why he'll never be mistaken for a wrestling technician when he RAKES Frankie's eyes and throws him through the ropes to the arena floor. Santana goes out after the Psycho Gremlin and drives him face-first into the RING STEPS. Frankie shakes off the cobwebs and grins, then floors Vincent with a Soonerline. "OW, OW, OW, OWWWWWWW!" Frankie grabs Michael Buffer's CHAIR and... * BOOM * ...hits Vincent over the head. Santana goes down, but he grabs the top of Frankie's trunks and hurls him into the guardrail. Frankie crashes sternum-first. His chin and arms draped over the railing, Frankie gives Vincent a free shot at his injured ribs, and Vincent doesn't waste the opportunity to use the chair as a weapon. Inside the ring, Frank is perched on the middle turnbuckle, hammering away on Marcellus. Outside, Vincent goes head hunting -- but Frankie manages to rip the chair out of Santana's hands in mid-swing and... * THUD * ...throws the chair in Vincent's face! COACH I'm outta here, fellas! CABOOSE So am I. COLE Wait for me! Triple C drop their headsets and flee Sofa Central. Why? Because Frankie comes over and takes the SOFA the announcers commentate at and tosses it in Vincent's direction, crashing it down on him! Frankie thinks about ramming Vincent into the sofa but fans ringside talk him out of it, telling him to send Vincent into the guardrail instead. Packs more of a punch. The ringside fans are sent into a frenzy when Frankie takes their advice and rams Vincent head-first into the guardrail. He leans over the railing to allow fans to rub his head. Frankie spots a hot chick and LICKS her lips. Thankfully, the chick is amused (i.e. plant that's Frankie's real life girlfriend) and saves the OAOAST from a lawsuit. The Psycho Gremlin grabs Santana and whips him to the RINGPOST. Vincent going in shoulder-first. Frankie, along with the sold out crowd HOWLS as he follows up, lunging forward and...SOONERLINING NOTHING BUT STEEL! COLE Frankie took a chance and it didn't pay off. He thought he had Vincent where he wanted him, but Santana suckered him in. COACH Which isn't too hard to do, by the way. COLE We're back with you, fans... CABOOSE Minus the sofa. COLE (CONT'D) ...from what's left of Sofa Central. Well, we'll get the sofa whenever they're done with it, and it looks like they are. I know Halloween is tomorrow night, but what a match we're being treated to. COACH It's not even a match, Mikey. The bell never rang! * DING DING * COLE It did now. Things started so hot and heavy that I didn't even notice. That must be why there hasn't been a disqualification. Under normal circumstances, the chaos we've seen so far would of been ruled a DQ long ago. Good pick-up, Coach. And good officiating by Nick Patrick. Yes, weapons have been used, but the wrestlers are still able to defend themselves. Inside the ring, Frank wraps up Marcellus in a small package for two. Marcellus gets back up first and levels the Big Bad Re-Booty Daddy with a clothesline. The two roll around the ring exchaging blows, with Frank coming out on top because, well, he came out on top. The chemical enchanced freak drives the forearm repeatedly into the face of Wallace, while on the outside Vincent and Shyanne put the boots to Frankie, prompting Nick Patrick to step out and give Shyanne a warning. Next time she will be ejected. As Nick walks with Shyanne, the two having to maneuver around the sofa, Vincent hits Frankie with a fan's CUP OF BEER. Those with low brain cells sip whatever amount of spilled beer they can that runs from the mat to the concrete floor behind the railing. CABOOSE To think those are somebody's kids. Their parents must be real proud. Imagine going up to their mothers and telling them they saw their child sipping beer from mats sweaty men have been stepping on all night on the telly. COACH Mats morons like Frankie Frankensteiner have been down on. Stupidity is contagious, you know. COLE I do. I see it every Thursday night with you two. Vincent kicks Frankie low. Doubled over in pain and grabbing his crotch, Frankie is helpess as Vincent picks him up for what appears to be a back suplex, but neuters the Psycho Gremlin instead, CROTCHING him on the GUARDRAIL! The sofa is then brought back into the field of play, as Vincent shoves it in Frankie's face, knocking him off the railing. Back in the ring, after having just been rammed into the turnbuckle, Frank is whipped to the opposite corner and nailed with a follow-in clothesline. Marcellus hits the side of the ring his partner, Vincent, is re-entering from as Frank staggers out of the corner. The two lock eyes and nod in agreement. Marcellus lowers the shoulder and charges full speed ahead towards Frank, with Vincent running right behind him. Frank leapfrogs over Wallace and catches Santana in midair trying to execute the running forearm shot he loves to utilizied. Frank perfectly times the FALLAWAY SLAM so that Vincent lands on Marcellus on the rebound! Santana is kicked out of the ring. Frank blocks a right from Marcellus and delivers a spinning belly-to-belly suplex! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Frank grabs Marcellus' bald head and brings him back to his feet, driving the knee into the gut. Front facelock applied, Frank attempting a vertical suplex, but Marcellus floats over and and takes Frank up for a back suplex. He holds Frank up in the air for Vincent, who comes off the top with a clothesline. Modified Doomsday Device. Marcellus downs the leg down on the Man of Tomorrow's massive chest for good measure. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! COLE Frank gets the shoulder up! The Man of Tomorrow having to fight two men, his brother Frankie still down outside. COACH If you had any balls, Mikey, you'd understand why he's still done outside. Frank whipped towards Vincent, who hits the strongman with a nasty lariat. Marcellus drops down and begins choking the life out of Frank. He tells Vincent to go up top. The South Central Militia debut a new double-team maneuver -- a vertical suplex/shoulder block powerslam combo. Santana rolls out of the ring so that his Marcellus, who's the legal man, believe it or not, can make the pin. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, Frankie breaks it up! The crowd howls. Not Frankie, who goes to work on Marcellus and Vincent. He gets in a 3-point stance and takes Vincent over with a shoulder block to the knee. Scoope slam followed by a Soonerline for Marcellus. Frankie with a big right hand to Vincent. He fires him across the riiiing... Powerslam! Marcellus tries blindsiding Frankie, but big brother Frank spins Wallace around and rocks him with a right. The Sooners Bruisers are in full control as they whip the South Central Militia to the ropes. Frankie with a military press slam, and Frank with a backdrop. Santana rolls to the ropes and pulls himself back up. For the second time tonight, Frankie misses a Soonerline, with less painful results this time, and is backdropped over the top rope. Frank catches Vincent coming at him with a T-Bone suplex. He isn't able to stop Marcellus, who stuns him with a flying shoulder block. Wallace brings the bleach blond back to his feet, setting up for a double-arm DDT, but Frank goes behind and nails Marcellus with a BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX! ONE... TWO... THRE-- NO! Vincent breaks up the count. He kicks Frank while he's down, buying his partner time to recover. Both men now stompping Frank. They pick him up and whip him to the ropes. DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE. Their double-teaming worked so well the first time they'll try it again. This time a DOUBLE HIP-- No, Frank lands on his feet and ducks under another double-clothesline, which the Militia do as well as Frank comes off the rebound. They turn around and... * WHAM * ...are our leveled by a TOP ROPE SOONERLINE from Frankie! The crowd howls in unison. The Sooners nail Marcellus and Vincent rising back up to their feet with rights. The Militia respond with double eye rakes. They scoope the Sooners up for a pair of bodyslams, but Frank and Frankie float over and hit stereo belly-to-bellys! Nick Patrick counts both pins. ONE... TWO... THREE-- NO, DOUBLE KICKOUT! Frank shoots Marcellus off to the ropes, while Frankie climbs up the turnbuckles from inside. Frank takes Marcellus down with a stiff Soonerline, then kisses the peak of his bicep before dropping the elbow. As the referee goes down to count, he misses Shyanne, who has been pretty quiet throughout the match, step onto the apron and take Frankie's feet out of under him, causing him to crotch himself on the top turnbuckle. Frank gets a two count. The jeers from the crowd grabs the referee's attention. Both he and Frank look over and see Frankie straddling the top turnbuckle in pain. Frank goes to check on his brother, and is rolled up from behind! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Frank pops back to his feet and goes down following a boot to the face. Vincent hits the ropes and drills Frankie with a running forearm smash, sending him fall off the top to the arena floor. With Frankie out of the way, the South Central Militia signal the end is near. Marcellus places Frank in a front facelock while Vincent goes to the top. Out of the corner of his eye, Marcellus sees Frankie getting up on the apron. He rushes but successfully connects with the suplex. It does, however, slightly throw his partner's timing off. Vincent dives off the top, but Frank gets the KNEES, knocking the air out of Vincent. The crowd cheers the failed double-team maneuver known as the Outline. Marcellus charges Frankie, who sticks his head between the ropes and rams the shoulder into the gut of Wallace. Instead of going for the usual sunset flip one expects after the old shoulder-through-the ropes spot, Frankie brings Vincent up to a vertical base. COACH INCOMING! COLE What? COACH INCOMING! Triple C dive for cover. OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX ONTO SOFA CENTRAL FROM THE APRON! "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" Shocked expressions all around. The guys in the truck cut to numerous fans with their mouths covered and/or jumping up and down in awe. The Coach, all too happily, consoles Shyanne, who can't stand the sight of her brother's torque body on the sofa. Both he and Frankie are down. It took a lot out of both men. Inside the ring, Frank drapes his arm over Vincent. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, KICKOUT! Vincent and Frank get back to their feet and trade haymakers. Frank lands a right that sends Vincent reeling to the ropes. Santana bounces off and drills Frank with a RUNNING FOREARM SHOT! He dives on top and hooks the leg. ONE... TWO... NO! Nick Patrick waves off the count, citing the illegal man in the ring. Vincent and Shyanne can't believe it. Both aruge with the referee, wanting to know why Nick counted if Vincent was the illegal man. Our hundred thousand dollar cameras pick up the in-ring conversation between Nick and Vincent. "That's bullshit!" "No, sir. You're the illegal man." "Then why the fuck did you count?" "I momentarily lost track of who the legal man was. It was my fault." "You damn right it's your fault, mother--!" Frank spins Vincent around and hammers him right between the eyes. He grabs Santana's left arm and backs him against the ropes, whipping him across the ring. In the background, we can see crew members scrambling to get Triple C's headsets working. In the meantime, they hand them wireless microphones. TILT-A-WHIRL SLAM! The Man of Tomorrow pops back up, signaling for the Frankensteiner. Irish whip. THE FRANKENSTEINER! COLE He hit it! But Vincent isn't the legal man. Frank didn't see -- or hear, for that matter -- the converstaion Vincent and Nick had. Frank doesn't understand why the count isn't being made. Nick explains to him Vincent isn't the legal man. Frank tilts his head up with an exasperated look on his face. He wanted to end it right there. Incredibly, Marcellus is the first to get back up outside, thanks in large part to his sister. Frank goes after Marcellus, drilling him in the gut with a forearm shot and pulling him through the ropes via a double underhook. Shyanne does her part in keeping her brother away from Frank, holding onto his legs. Frankie, on his knees, BITES Shyanne's ass, causing her to let go of Marcellus! She screams as Frankie continues to chew on her ass to the envy of red-blooded males around the world. The crowd boos as JIM CORNETTE appears at ringside, jumping onto the apron and distracting the referee. COLE Oh great. What's he doing here? COACH He's their representive. Remember? James E. keeps "The Man" from manhandling Moe and Vinnie. COLE This match has already been chaotic. The last thing we need is another instigator. To the surprise of those who bought front row seats, NED BLANCHARD passes by and hops over the guardrail, hitting the 90210 enzurigi on Frankie outside the ring. Crotching to avoid detection, Ned runs over and hides behind Shyanne. Meanwhile at the Hall of Justice, aka the ring, we see SARCASTIC SIMON come off the top and nail Frank in the back of the neck with Jim Cornette's TENNIS RACKET! Marcellus falls on top of Frank as Simon rolls out of the ring and hides from the referee. COLE No, damnit! Not like this! ONE... TWO... THREE! COLE DAMN THEM! Immediately after the 3 count is made, Blanchard, Cornette and Singleton join the South Central Militia in the ring, and the 4 men proceed to stomp Frank until the Psycho Gremlin comes to his brother's aid. He does his best to fight the 4 men off but it's too much for one man to handle. Speaking of which, Ned jabs the handle of the tennis racket in the groin of Frankie, bringing him to his knees. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" * DING DING DING DING DING * COLE Oh, man! We need some help out here, damnit! If anybody in the back can hear me, get some damn help out here. Shyanne frantically tries grabbing the attention of the SCM, jumping up and waving her arms. The horn dogs in attendence get off as her boobs bounce, but the SCM get the message and quietly exit. Cornette watches with a smile on his face as his lastest incarnation of the Midnight Express continue to pulverize the Sooner Bruisers. He waves for the SCM to get in on some of the action. When they don't he turns and is shocked to see them missing. He roams around looking for the SCM and to his surprise spots THE HEAVENLY ROCKERS! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!" COACH What the fuck!? Cornette's jaw drops. He's so shocked he's left speechless and thus unable to warn his team about the trouble that lies ahead. Corny saves himself, bailing out of the ring. To the surprise of no one, Logan goes straight for Ned. His left hand wrapped with a STEEL CHAIN, Logan spins Ned around and punches the Handsome Hustler in the face. Logan pounces on Ned, drilling him in the face with the chain-wrapped left fist. Carl Winslows and his security staff do a great job keeping the situation from escalating any further by quickly getting to the ring and separating the parties involved, but not before Synth lands a right on Simon. Logan manages to escape from the clutches of security and engages in a tug-of-war with Jim Cornette and Sarcastic Simon, with Ned as the rope! Cornette and Singleton tug on the legs while Mann tugs on the hair, ending with Logan plunking out a chuck of Blanchard's blond locks! Ned jerks his head back in a fit, drawing a huge POP as the fans see BLOOD trickling down his handsome face on the AngleTron. COLE The Heavenly Rockers! The Heavenly Rockers! The Heavenly Rockers! They're back! Oh yeah! COACH So much for them being "broken," huh, Mikey? COLE Well... CABOOSE Remember what I've said about emotions? Some let it consume them, while others manage to control them. Logan throws his hands up, telling security he's calmed down. The hell he has. The crowd ROARS as Logan makes another play for Ned, but security once again steps in and restrains Mann. Carl threatens to cuff him if he doesn't cool it. Synth plays peace officer, getting his partner to calm down. He then asks for and receives a microphone. Logan is practically foaming at the mouth to get his hands on Ned, his hated rival. SYNTH Yo, yo, yo. Yippie, yo, yippie, yay. What a better way for the greatest rock 'n' wrestling band of all's time to return than at the home of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, Ohiooooo! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH!" COACH Cheap pop! SYNTH Ah guess all moi can say about that is... the boys are back in t-- Logan rips the mic out of Synth's hands. LOGAN Heh. You did it. You actually did it. You pissed me off. Me--the personification of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. You pissed ME off, goddamnit! And for that I want to thank you. Yes, you heard me right. Thank you. You see this chain wrapped around my fist? Look familar? It should, because it's the chain you used when you locked us inside the cage and had your way. I saved it to remind me what you put Holly through. Oh, believe me, I'd love to tear your heads off this minute for what you did to her. But I've learned to control my anger. After what you and that bitch -- not you Cornette, the other bitch, Shyanne -- did to Holly that fateful summer night, I was consumed with rage. Normally a couple of lines followed by hot, steamy sex with a couple of hot broads would take my pain away. It didn't. I needed something stronger. The anger that burned in my soul, which turned out to be a mild case of heartburn, caused me to seek the help of our very own Dr. Anderson and Dr. Pigley, The Love Doctors. I gave up E long ago, so I remember hearing about this morning after pill. Bingo! That's it. That's what I need. That'll take away my pain. As it turns out, the morning after pill isn't the cure for the common heartache. But considering they owned me a favor for sneaking them into the U2 concert, they gave me the pill. Hindsight being 20/40, if I hadn't drank down that entire bottle of Jack Daniels, I wouldn't have taken the pill. Luckily I didn't experience any side effects. So in a way, what happened to The Love Doctors at the hands of Los Diablos de Fuego was karma for them giving me the pill. Anyhoo, before I start rambling, let me tell you I found a way...well, more of a reason...to control the rage, my pain. Revenge for Holly. And in case you're wondering asshole, yes, I'm hitting that and you better believe I'm coming fast and furious on that piece of ass. Cornette and Simon have to restrain a bloody Ned on the ramp. Cornette repeatedly reminding the Handsome Hustler he's better than Logan. LOGAN (CONT'D) And I'm coming after YOU, but not before we take care of business with the South Central Militia. Oh, and Shyanne, you'll get yours in time...bitch! Logan flips the mic to Synth. SYNTH If I were you 3 homo sapiens, I'd go find the South Central Militia and ask for a refund because they didn't get the job done. As you can see, we're back, jacked and amped up to the max! In the ring, the studio or onstage, The Heavenly Rockers pride ourselves on putting on one helluva show. Like my main Mann said, first we's take on the hood, then the Midnights, then the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles. If that means having to go through Zack Malibu and Leon Rodez, The Usual Suspects, so be it. Love ya, but us crazy mutha's gonna get done what Ms. Holly wanted us to do: win the gold. Got the record, now aiming for the belts. See ya on the next track. Word! For the first time in a while, "G's & Soilders" hits. The music stops when the Sooner Bruisers shove Synth and Logan from behind. The Sooners are full of pride, they're not too happy the Heavenly Rockers came out and "saved them." Everybody from the fans, to the announcers, to security wait to see what will happen next. The Sooners extend their hands out to the Heavenly Rockers. They all shake hands to the delight of the crowd. "Frankenstein" kicks up, and the Heavenly Rockers raise the hands of the Sooners, who return the favor. COLE All right. In an era fueled by power and money, it's nice to see good sportsmenship. The big news: The Heavenly Rockers have returned. Like Synth said, guys, what a better place to do so than at the home of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. COACH Ohiooooooo! CABOOSE I'll admit it. I missed the little buggers. Their music still sucks, but it's good to have them back.

We cut back to Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura atop the INTERVIEW STAGE inside the arena. Both still in their costumes. SCHIAVONE If November Reign is anything like tonight, Jess, then we're set for one heck of a pay-per-view the 27th of November. VENTURA If November Reign is anything like tonight, then you'll still look like an idiot, Schiavone! Are you gonna go to Outer Mongolia like I said? SCHIAVONE Is that where you've been? VENTURA I've been in a lot of places, Schiavone, believe me, but Outer Mongolia ain't one of them. SCHIAVONE Well, Jesse, we've reached the halfway point of the show, and so far it's truly been a night of champions. 3 of our first 7 title matches have gone to the reigning champion or champions. Do you expect the trend to continue with 4 title matches to go, including the big one to determine the new World Heavyweight Champion? VENTURA No, I don't. Here's why. If you look at the challengers in the first 3 title matches, what do they all have in common? None have held a major title. I think that gives guys like Parka and Alfdogg the advantage in their matches. That said, I think the best chance we have of seeing a title change is in the 2 out of 3 falls match between The Usual Suspects and The GPX for the tag team championship of the world. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" SCHIAVONE The fans don't agree with that. But I know they'll agree about wanting to see more great action. So let's go up to Michael Buffer for our next match. Excuse me. Let's send it down to Michael Cole, The Coach, and Caboose at Sofa Central. Sorry about that guys. Take it away. COLE Up next we have a match that originally was just a grudge match, but has now turned into a title match for the HI-YAH Heavyweight Title! COACH That's right Cole. A month ago Christian Wright and The Parka were supposed to have a match at Dirty Deeds, but due to Hurricane Rita Parka was in Houston with his family. Parka told both the OAOAST Officials and Christian Wright about this in the days leading up to Dirty Deeds, but that did not stop Wright from blowing up over the incident. CABOOSE He got scared and ran off to Houston so he would have an excuse is what really happened. Stop lying to all these people. COLE Well that's your take on the incident. CABOOSE Mine and Christian Wright's. COLE Well you're both wrong. Now can I get back to what I was saying? CABOOSE Of course you can. Who is stopping you? COLE A few weeks ago Parka defeated Bohemoth in a title match to capture the HI-YAH Heavyweight Title. He went to Japan to defend that title only for Wright and Bohemoth to follow him there and it was then that tonight's match was made a Title Match. COACH Tempers have been flaring over the last couple weeks with Parka attacking Wright and Wright attacking Parka. Parka wants to prove that he is a man of his word after the unfortunate circumstances of last month. Wright wants that gold and he wants to defeat Parka in the name of the Upstarts. COLE Let's take it up to the ring. CALIFORNIA LOVE!!!! YEAHHHHH!!!! The fans get on their feet as the headlights of the El Camino appear beside the stage. Parka pulls his car up and revs the engine for the fans. COLE I understand that Wright requested to come out second. I wonder why that is, because normally the champion comes out second. Parka climbs out of the window Dukes of Hazzard style only to be violently yanked from the car by Christian Wright! BOOOOOOO!!!! CABOOSE I think we just found out why!! COLE Oh come on! Wright slams Parka face first into the hood of the car and the fans are letting Wright have it. COLE This isn't a No DQ match! Eddy tries to distract Wright, but Bohemoth comes from behind and Clotheslines Eddy. Eddy flies forward and hits the ground hard as Bohemoth laughs. Parka stumbles around as Wright grabs him by the head and drags him up the aisle. All along the way Wright stops to slam Parka's head into different objects such as the ramp, the guardrail, and the ringpost when they reach the ring. OAOAST Officials are out and trying to separate the two to regain control before the match officially starts. COACH Man Parka is just about out. CABOOSE He should have known that one of these days someone was going to pull him out of that stupid car of his and do something like this! It's a brash and arrogant way to enter the arena. COLE Look who's talking about brash and arrogant! Eddy still lies on the ground by the El Camino while Wright enters the ring to gloat. Officials check on Parka, who is lying on the floor outside the ring. Other officials block Wright's way so he won't go for another attack. CABOOSE Oh just let them fight! Parka stands up, yanks the La Parka mask off, shoves some officials aside, and slides into the ring after Wright. Wright sees him coming and cuts him off with stomps to the shoulder. *DING DING DING* COLE I guess they're just going to start the match. COACH Let's get it on! CABOOSE Like I said let them fight! Bohemoth exits the ring and stands by the apron as Wright pulls Parka to his feet, whips him to the ropes, and then blasts him off his feet with a Flying Clothesline that actually knocks Parka for a loop! COACH Damn!! CABOOSE Wright is not wasting time with Parka. He wants him to know that this will not be an easy fight! COLE Parka is getting up slowly and Wright is on the attack again. Wright catches a standing Parka with a boot to the gut and then hoists him up on his shoulder before dropping him throat first across the top rope with a Stun Gun! Parka stumbles away from the ropes and Wright quickly Spears him right off his feet! COACH My God!! COLE Wright is trying to scramble Parka's brains. CABOOSE Do you think he is Hannibal Lechter or something? COLE Nevermind Wright is going for a cover! 1....2....No!! Parka kicks out! Wright asks the ref if he's serious and the ref shows him his resolve face. Wright picks Parka up by the head, but Parka gets a burst of energy and starts firing off right hands to the face! YEAHHHHHH!!!! He manages to back Wright to the ropes and whips him across the ring. COLE Parka is coming back! Parka nails a Jumping Leg Lariat that takes Wright down and quickly goes for a cover. 1 2 No!!! Parka uses the opportunity to shake the cobwebs out and wait for Wright to stand. When Wright gets to his knees Parka runs in and nails a Shining Wizard (the real kind not the Hurricane kind) to Wright's face and Wright goes back down to the mat. OOOOOOHHHHHH!!! COLE Wow I've never seen Parka use that before! He must have picked it up in Japan! CABOOSE So some things do make it through that thick skull of his? Parka goes for another cover. 1 2 No!!! Parka shakes his head again after the pin attempt as he's not quite regained his composure and the sudden burst of energy seems to have disoriented him. Bohemoth sees this and quickly reaches in to trip Parka. Parka falls face first to the mat as his head bounces hard! BOOOOOOOO!!!! COLE Oh come on ref! Didn't you see that? CABOOSE No cheerleading Cole! COACH You know that's not a bad idea Caboose. CABOOSE What's not? COACH Getting cheerleaders out here. CABOOSE Bloody hell. Wright gets to his feet and slaps hands with Bohemoth as a thanks for tripping Parka. The ref has a few choice words with Bohemoth who pleads innocence. As Wright waits for Parka to stand we see a close up of his face and notice that his nose is bleeding from the Shining Wizard. COACH Geez! CABOOSE Coach if you're going to say nothing but one word sentences all night we will just cut your mic. COLE We can do that? Parka stands and Wright quickly Armdrags him back down. As Parka gets up again Wright hits a Japanese Armdrag that takes him down hard. Parka stands a third time and Wright Shoulder Blocks Parka back down so quickly that Parka never even got a solid footing before being knocked down again. COLE Wright sees that Parka is dizzy and is trying to disorient him completely. CABOOSE Well atleast he's not trying to make Scrambled Brains anymore. COLE Are you going to tease me about that all night? CABOOSE Well atleast for the rest of the match. Parka slowly stands and is obviously having trouble keeping his balance. Wright lifts him onto his shoulders and hits the Honor Roll (Rolling Fireman's Carry), before throwing his arms out to his side to gloat. BOOOOOOO!!!! He then makes a nonchalant cover. 1 2 3!! No!!! COLE You need to make a better cover than that to win a match! CABOOSE And how would you know? You've never wrestled. COACH I've wrestled. CABOOSE I hardly call what you do in the ring wrestling. Wright waits for Parka to stand again with a smile on his face. Parka staggers to his feet and Wright grabs him for a Belly to Belly Suplex, but Parka claps his hands together, boxing the ears of Wright in the process. Wright shakes it off and maintains his grip on Parka, so Parka does it again and this time Wright lets go. Parka quickly hits a Dropkick that sends Wright flat on his back, but Parka regrets the move as the fall to the mat leaves him groggy again. Wright is up at the same time as Parka and he quickly comes back in for more. Parka is ready and pops off four punches to the face. COLE As long as Parka can regain his composure he might be alright. CABOOSE Wright won't let him do that and you know it. Wright blocks the last punch and fires off three of his own, but Parka blocks the fourth and plants a foot to the gut. Parka then leaps onto Wright's shoulders for a Hurricanrana, but Wright tries to fight it. Wright tries to gain control of Parka and hit a Powerbomb, but Parka keeps trying to shift his weight. The fight brings them close to the ropes where Parka finally shifts his weight back and sends both men to the floor over the top rope! COACH Daaaamn!!! CABOOSE That's it...where's the plug to his headset? Both men are laid out on the floor as the ref begins his count. 1...2...3...4...Parka starts to push himself off the mat, but he collapses...5...6...Parka uses all his energy to get off the mat and stumbles around...7...8...Parka slides into the ring to break the count as Wright pulls himself up. Wright sees the legs of Parka hanging out of the ring and yanks him to the floor again. COLE Parka can't catch a break! Wright then pulls Parka up by the head and brings him towards the ring steps. He goes to slam him face first, but Parka blocks it with an elbow to the gut and slams Wright face first! Blood starts to trickle from Wright's nose again after the impact as he stumbles around and tries to move away from Parka. CABOOSE Are you happy now Cole? Your boy has got his break finally! Parka shakes his head vigorously to get his wits about him as the fans chant "LET'S GO PARKA!" He then makes sure to break the ref's count before planning his next move. Parka then follows Wright around the corner of the ring, but Wright doesn't see him. Parka regains enough of his composure to run forward and take Wright down with a Bulldog on the floor!! COLE If that nose wasn't broken already it has to be now! CABOOSE Why is it every time Parka wrestles someone bleeds? COLE Because he likes a good fight and he's going to bring it hard and fast. CABOOSE Okay Cole that's enough about your love life. COLE ....... Parka gets up and breaks the count again as the ref nears 10, before going back on the attack. Parka catches a standing Wright and slides him into the ring before positioning himself on the second turnbuckle. Parka motions for the crowd to get loud and then dives off with a Diving Elbow directly on the nose of Wright! YEAHHHHH!!!! COLE Parka is going to pound on the face of Wright until he has trouble breathing. If he has trouble breathing then he will become winded! CABOOSE Thank you Mr. Wizard! Wright writhes around in pain and holds his nose before Parka pushes him back down to the mat and makes a cover. 1 2 No!!! Parka pulls Wright to his feet, but Wright is quick on the draw and hits a Jawbreaker that stuns Parka. Parka stumbles back into the ropes and Wright quickly whips him across the ring. As Parka bounces back Wright wraps him up and hits a Belly to Belly Suplex before making a cover. 1 2 No!! Wright then waits for Parka to stand before grabbing him and hitting a Saito Suplex and making another cover. 1 2 No!!! Wright wastes no time in pulling Parka right back up and nailing a Uranage Suplex! COLE Suplex-amania is running... CABOOSE Don't finish that sentence!! Wright goes for another cover. 1 2 3!! No!!! Parka kicks out at the last second. CABOOSE I'm surprised that wasn't the end of the match right there. COLE I'm surprised that Coach hasn't had anything to say about this. CABOOSE Oh...yeah I might have made good on that promise to disconnect his headset. COLE So that's why he's fiddling around with the wires under the desk. CABOOSE Yeah...what did you think he was going to do down there? COLE ....... COACH I'm back. CABOOSE Damn! Wright lets Parka stand of his own will and laughs as Parka stumbles around for a second. Wright walks over to Parka and pie-faces him while yelling at him to fight back, which was a bad move as Parka springs to life and blasts Wright with a Forearm shot to the face. Wright stumbles back and Parka kicks him to the gut before hitting a Fisherman's Suplex for a cover. COLE Parka with a Suplex of his own! 1...2...3!! He got him! No wait it was only a two count. CABOOSE Are you channeling the spirit of Vince McMahon or something. COACH Isn't Vince alive? CABOOSE Never correct me on air! Parka has found his second wind as he yells for Wright to stand up. As Wright gets to his feet Parka quickly hoists him up and hits a Samoan Drop before making another cover. 1 2 No! Wright kicks out!! Parka then pulls Wright up and locks him in position for a Russian Leg Sweep before looking around the crowd for approval. YEAHHHHH!!!! Parka hits the move and floats over into a pin. 1 2 No Wright kicks out again!! Parka then stands and draws a thumb across his throat to show that playtime is over. CABOOSE Geez who's writing this stuff?? COLE Shhh...don't break the fourth wall (said under his breath) COACH What are you guys talking about? As Wright stands Parka kicks him in the gut, hooks him for a Vertical Suplex, and nails it. He then rolls over and lifts Wright again for another one. One more time he rolls over and this time is slower in lifting Wright. Parka gets him up, but has trouble holding him and Wright is able to slip out behind him. Parka turns around only for Wright to hit him with the C-4 (HHH style Facebuster). As Parka stumbles back Wright quickly takes him down with a STO! Before the fans can even blink Wright hits a Kneedrop and then goes for a cover. 1 2 3!!! No!!! Parka somehow kicks out! COLE Wright is beside himself as Parka keeps kicking out! COACH There's still fight left in him. Wright takes a moment to breathe as his nasal passageway is blocked from the broken nose. You can hear him taking deep, loud breaths, as he waits for Parka to stand. Wright goes in for the kill, but Parka once again gets a burst of energy and hits Wright with a hard Chop to the chest. Wright returns the favor with a harder chop and the chopfest is on. Back and forth the two men chop at each other as the crowd answers with "Woooo" each time. Parka finally breaks the exchange with a punch right to the nose of Wright. CABOOSE Now that was just cheap! COLE Wright has done some pretty cheap things himself tonight. As Wright is dazed Parka bounces off the ropes and nails the Float Over DDT before making a cover. 1 2 3 No!! COLE Parka is coming back with a vengeance! COACH He's a man on fire. CABOOSE I'm in cliche hell. Parka is back up and looks around the crowd who are on their feet. Parka then motions for Wright to come on as he begins to stand. Parka gives the "it's over" sign and grabs a standing Wright before lifting him into position for the Day of the Dead! The fans cheer as Parka lifts him high...only for Bohemoth to reach in and pull Wright off the shoulders of Parka! Parka turns around just in time to be nailed by a vicious Clothesline from Wright! COLE Someone get Bohemoth away from ringside! As if he heard Cole say it Eddy Kalm comes running back out, the officials had taken him to the back, and he makes his way down to ringside. He jumps onto the back of Bohemoth and begins pounding on his head. CABOOSE The little man has lost it! COACH Yeah but it's fun to watch. Bohemoth swats at him like he's a buzzing fly, but Eddy holds on. Wright can't believe his eyes as Eddy desparately tries to take Bohemoth out with a Sleeper Hold. Bohemoth finally manages to pull Eddy over his shoulder and back first onto the floor. Inside the ring Wright is distracted long enough for Parka to get back up and go for the Day of the Dead one more time. This time Parka hits the move! YEAHHHHHH!!!! COLE Parka hit the Day of the Dead! That's it!! Parka goes for a cover, but Bohemoth climbs onto the apron and the ref goes over to cut him off. Parka stands up and shoves Bohemoth in the chest only to have Bohemoth shove back and knock him off his feet. Parka quickly gets back up just as Eddy climbs onto the apron. Eddy, feeling brave tonight, shoves Bohemoth in the chest as well. Bohemoth looks at him as if he were the strangest thing he'd ever seen, which gives Parka enough time to nail him with a forearm shot. Bohemoth is pissed and tries to enter the ring, but the ref cuts him off. All the while Wright recovers and slides to the outside while everyone is caught up in what's happening on the apron. COLE What's Wright doing? CABOOSE Don't worry about him! Wright wrangles the HI-YAH title belt away from a disgruntled time keeper and slides into the ring. The ref is having a time trying to keep Bohemoth at bay. Eddy yells that Wright has the belt, but Bohemoth grabs the ref before he can turn around and Parka turns at Eddy's warning just in time to get a face full of Gold! COLE No!! Don't tell me this is going to end this way! Wright tosses the title from the ring and pulls Parka back up. He then hooks Parka for a Vertical Suplex, which he turns into Converting the Sinner (Corkscrew Suplex)! CABOOSE That is it! COACH I'm afraid you're right. Bohemoth lets the ref go and tells him to turn around just as Wright goes for the cover. 1 2 3!!! *DING DING DING* COLE Dammit!! BUFFER Here is your winner and NEW HI-YAH Heavyweight Champion!!! CHRISTIAN WRIGHT!!!!! Bohemoth grabs the belt from the floor and brings it into the ring where Wright holds it high above his head! CABOOSE Now that is a fitting HI-YAH Champion! COACH If you say so. COLE Give me a break. He used the belt! Wright and Bohemoth leave the ring as Eddy checks on Parka who is coming to and looking pissed. Wright holds the title high above his head all the way back down the ramp as the fans boo. "Slither" by Velvet Revolver plays over the loudspeakers, drowning out some of the boos. As Wright passes the El Camino he spits on it and laughs. COLE Total disrespect for Parka. CABOOSE Parka was the one that disrespected him by not showing up last month. And now you see why Parka was so afraid to wrestle him! Eddy helps Parka to his feet and the fans cheer as the two of them leave the ring. COLE Well Parka isn't dead and his career hasn't been ended, so the Upstarts didn't get their wish.

*KA-CHING!* *Come and take your Vitamin X.* “Bling-Bling” by The B.G. featuring The Big Tymers and Hot Boys starts playing, causing the crowd to start booing loudly. Vitamin X rushes out from behind the curtain, doing the Shane-O-Mac Shuffle to the crowd’s non-delight. Not only is X doing the Shane-O-Mac Shuffle, but he is also wielding a plastic lightsaber while wearing a Darth Vader mask. X twirls the lightsaber to and fro, before dropping it, and unmasking, which causes the crowd to boo even louder. Vitamin X slowly walks to the ring, bobbing his head to the beat of “Bling-Bling”. COACH It looks like Vitamin X has just shown us his Halloween costume! CABOOSE And what a fine costume it is, if I do say so myself. As everyone knows, Darth Vader Mask>Otaku II mask. *DING DING DING* MICHAEL BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a 60-minute time limit. Introducing first. Coming to the ring at this time. From Miami, Florida. Weighing in at 248 lbs. He is the Financial Consultant for The Lightning Crew. VITAMINNNNNN XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!! Vitamin X jaws with some fans at ringside. VX is wearing a black baseball jersey with VITAMIN X written on the front in orange script font. On the back of the jersey is the World Without End logo on top, and "OTAKU II. OTAKU WHO?" underneath, all written in orange, blocky letters. He is also wearing black sweatpants, a gold chain, black elbowpads, and black Reeboks. COLE Vitamin X is extremely focused heading into this match-up. CABOOSE Yeah. And if his shirt is any indication, he thinks he’s going to come out of this match the winner! COLE A feud has been developing between Vitamin X and Otaku II in the last few weeks, and it all stems from one thing: Vitamin X is jealous of Otaku II! CABOOSE Oh I beg to differ. Why the hell would Vitamin X be jealous of Otaku II? Vitamin X is talented, charismatic, handsome, and a financial guru. All Otaku II is is some anime freak in a mask. He’s no different from the thousands of anime freaks that you can find on the internet, except that he is in better shape and wears a goofy mask. Vitamin X hops on a turnbuckle, and crosses his arms in a X. Vitamin X hops off the turnbuckle and bounces off the ropes, doing the Shane-O-Mac Shuffle again while the crowd boos. COACH Well, Vitamin X doesn’t receive the fans’ cheers like Otaku does. The fans still think of him as PRL’s lackey. He had a chance to breakout on his own at AngleSlam in August, but he couldn’t get the job done. CABOOSE Hey! That was months ago. Vitamin X has gotten over it, so you should too! Vitamin X shakes his shoulders and “raises the roof”, and the crowd responds by raising their middle fingers at him. VX does the Shane-O-Mac Shuffle again. He looks at the entrance waiting for Otaku, as “Bling-Bling” by The B.G. featuring The Big Tymers and Hot Boys dies down. COLE I have gotten over it, but that is something that has got to still haunt Vitamin X to this very day. CABOOSE No it doesn’t! Vitamin X isn’t gonna let one lost to The Parka stop him from continuing his career. Infact, when Vitamin X wins tonight, these fans are going to forget all about his lost to The Parka at AngleSlam. “Ashburn” by Hikari starts playing. The crowd cheers loudly. Sky blue lights around the arena turn on and off, as Otaku comes out through the curtain with Ayane Mitsui and “The Sheriff” Tony Capella as the singer finishes the first verse. Otaku raises his hands to acknowledge the crowd, while Tony and Ayane smile. The three members of Mad Machine jog to the ring, high fiving fans as they go, while “Ashburn” continues playing. BUFFER And his opponent. Accompanying to the ring by Ayane Mitsui and “The Sheriff” Tony Capella. From Boston, Massachusetts. Weighing in at 215 lbs. He is the leader of Mad Machine. OTTTTAKKKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! COLE Listen to these fans! They absolutely love Otaku II! The leader of Mad Machine is about to go head-to-head with the Financial Consultant of The Lightning Crew, and it looks like Otaku II is ready for this match-up! CABOOSE Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We’ve heard it all before. This isn’t anything new. I don’t understand how these fans can think Otaku has any hope in Hell of beating Vitamin X. This is going to be a piece of cake for X. COACH Mmmm…Cake. Otaku II and Ayane slide into the ring while Capella climbs into the ring. Otaku and Ayane get on the turnbuckles and raise their arms. The crowd cheers. Tony Capella applauds his friend. Otaku and Ayane get on the opposite turnbuckles and raise their arms. Again, the crowd cheers. Otaku smiles. COLE This is a big night for The Lightning Crew AND Mad Machine. The leader of The Lightning Crew, Tha Puerto Rican, has already defeated Mad Machine member Spanish Fly to retain the 24/7 Championship. And in the main event, PRL’s manager Stephen Joseph Popick will compete in a Fatal Four-Way Match for the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title against Tony Brannigan, “The Ice Heart” Dan Black, and Peter Knight! CABOOSE Unlike AngleSlam, The Lightning Crew will come out of World With with a decent record, 1-1. Tonight at World Without End, The Lightning Crew will show Mad Machine that they are the superior stable! Otaku II gets off the turnbuckle and takes off his OAOAST T-shirt. He throws it to the crowd. The lights go back on in the arena as Otaku gets a kiss from Ayane Mitsui, and a high five from Tony Capella. Tony and Ayane leave the ring as Vitamin X glares evilly at Otaku from the ring apron. VX enters the ring and locks eyes with Otaku as “Ashburn” by Hikari dies down. Referee Brian Hebner checks on Otaku and Vitamin X, and then calls for the bell. *DING DING DING* VITAMIN X VS. OTAKU II (with Ayane Mitsui and “The Sheriff” Tony Capella) Vitamin X and Otaku II stare at each other. Vitamin X does some trash talking. The two men circle each other. COLE Otaku II and Vitamin X are about to lock up in what should be an exciting match-up! Otaku II and Vitamin X lock up! Vitamin X goes behind Otaku and gets a Full Nelson. However, Otaku reverses, but Vitamin X reverses THAT before Otaku can do anything. Vitamin X applies an arm wringer on Otaku. Otaku elbows out of it, elbows VX in the face, and then whips him into the ropes, and follows with a hip toss on Vitamin X! COLE And Otaku II takes early control in this matchup. CABOOSE Well, the match just started. This was just the feeling out process. Vitamin X hasn’t even gotten warmed up yet! Otaku II picks up Vitamin X and elbows him in the face. He goes for a Dragon Suplex, but Vitamin X elbows out of it, and punches him in the face. Vitamin X grabs Otaku from behind, but Otaku escapes and elbows VX in the face twice to regain control. Otaku grabs VX and takes him to the ropes. Otaku suplexes Vitamin X over the top rope—BUT!—Vitamin X is able to land on the ring apron! VX grabs Otaku from behind and gives him a modified Edge-O-Matic, with the back of Otaku’s neck hitting the top rope! CABOOSE Bravo, X! He probably learned that move from Tha Puerto Rican! Vitamin X stops to pose, but then slides into the ring just as Otaku II is getting up. Vitamin X nails Otaku with several right jabs to the face. X switches between punching Otaku, taunting him, and doing the Shane-O-Mac Shuffle. X Irish whips Otaku—Otaku reverses—hiptoss by Otaku on Vitamin X! Vitamin X clutches his back in pain. COLE Otaku just sent Vitamin X halfway across the ring! Freaking awesome! CABOOSE Goddamn, I hate you sometimes. You know that? OTAKU II Come on you son-of-a-bitch! Otaku grabs Vitamin X, and this time, he hits the Dragon Suplex! Otaku covers Vitamin X. It gets TWO! Otaku elbows VX in the face and then drags him over to the ropes. Otaku ties Vitamin X up in the ropes! CABOOSE That’s a pretty dirty move from such a goody goody like Otaku! I like it! With Vitamin X tied up, Otaku gives him several shoulderblocks to the abdomen! Otaku then hits X with some of his martial arts kicks all over his body. Ayane Mitsui and Tony Capella cheers Otaku on. Otaku heads to the ropes, going for another shoulderblock, BUT VITAMIN X UNTIES HIMSELF AND ESCAPES! Otaku goes flying through the second rope onto the floor! CABOOSE Serves you right, you disgusting cheater! Cheater! Otaku lies on the floor, while Vitamin X shakes the cobwebs out of his head. Ayane Mitsui and Tony Capella check on Otaku. Tony asks Otaku if he’s okay, and Otaku saids something about his shoulder. Vitamin X exits the ring and walks over to Otaku, but not before shoving Tony and Ayane aside. X picks up Otaku, but Otaku shoves him away. Otaku then walks around ringside, holding his left shoulder. Referee Brian Hebner goes to check on him. COLE It looks as though Otaku II hurt his left shoulder as he fell to the outside! COACH That is going to put him in a major disadvantage in this match! Vitamin X slowly creeps towards Otaku, before running towards him and attacking him from behind, nearly hitting the referee! Vitamin X unleashes a furry of lefts and rights on Otaku! He places Otaku’s left arm in an arm-wringer and then whips him into a staircase, with the left arm hitting the staircase hard! COLE I think Otaku’s left shoulder maybe injured! Vitamin X throws Otaku II back into the ring. VX targets Otaku’s left shoulder with fast kicks. COLE Vitamin X is like a shark that smells blood! He’s targeting that left shoulder with fast kicks! Vitamin X picks up Otaku and whips him into the ropes. Otaku reverses, but Vitamin X fires back with a floatover DDT! VX picks up Otaku and pulls back on Otaku’s left arm. He pulls Otaku up with his left arm and then drops several elbows on it! VX does all of this with a cocky smirk on his face. COLE Vitamin X is showing us what brought him to the dance. Vitamin X is targeting that left shoulder. CABOOSE Look at Vitamin X, hurting Otaku’s left shoulder! It just brings a tear to my eye. Vitamin X holds onto Otaku’s left arm, and hops onto the top rope. VX taunts Otaku, before leaping off the top rope…doing an armbreaker on Otaku on the way down! Otaku screams loudly, while Ayane Mitsui and Tony Capella cringe. Vitamin X covers Otaku. ONE! TWO! OTAKU KICKS OUT! VX argues with the ref, but goes back to kicking Otaku’s left shoulder. Ayane Mitsui pounds the mat, but VX continues his assault, applying the dreaded arm-BAR on Otaku’s left arm. Vitamin X cinches the armbar tight, while Brian Hebner asks Otaku if he gives up. Otaku saids no. VITAMIN X Give up, Otaku! You are no match for The Lightning Crew! BOO-YAH! COLE So if Otaku just tweaked his shoulder as he fell outside, Vitamin X is going to make sure it’s more than tweaked right now! Tony Capella and Ayane Mitsui slap the mat in unison. The crowd picks up on this, and soon, the crowd is clapping in unison. Otaku struggles to reach the ropes. He comes closer…closer…closer. Otaku puts his right hand on the bottom rope! Brian Hebner tells Vitamin X to let go. VX obliges, but he continues his assault, kneeing Otaku on the left shoulder. He gets up and does several fast kicks on Otaku’s left shoulder, stopping him from getting to his feet. X stops to do the Shane-O-Mac Shuffle. The crowd boos. COACH X has got to stop joking around and concentrate on winning this match! The crowd starts chanting “X’S A PUSSY! *CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP* X’S A PUSSY! *CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP*” CABOOSE Oh God damnit. HE IS NOT! Vitamin X does the “Up yours!” hand gesture to the crowd. Otaku II is on his knees, so Vitamin X gets behind Otaku and grabs his left arm. VX applies a standing Crossface Chickenwing on Otaku! COLE This is Vitamin X’s wrestling style. He would rather make you submit than pin you. And that’s exactly what he’s trying to do now. A standing Crossface Chickenwing on Otaku II, and how much more can than this kid take? How much more punishment can Otaku take? CABOOSE Probably about 50 more seconds. The standing Crossface Chickenwing has taken the energy out of Otaku. Tony Capella and Ayane Mitsui cheer on Otaku. The crowd chants “O-TAK-KU! O-TAK-U! O-TAK-U! O-TAK-U!” Referee Brian Hebner checks on Otaku. He holds his right arm in the air. It falls. One! Hebner holds Otaku’s right arm in the air again. It falls. TWO! Hebner holds Otaku’s right arm in the air for a third time. It falls— NO! THE ARM DOES NOT FALL!!! The crowd comes alive! Otaku elbows Vitamin X in the stomach. Otaku does a snapmare takedown on Vitamin X. Otaku gets up, but Vitamin X “kicks his leg out from under his leg” (© Owen Hart) and goes back to hitting Otaku’s left shoulder. X applies Move #193 (arm-BAR) on Otaku’s left arm. “X’S A PUSSY! *CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP* X’S A PUSSY! *CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP* X’S A PUSSY! *CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP* X’S A PUSSY! *CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP*” Vitamin X bends Otaku II’s left arm back, further cinching the Fujiarma Armbar. Referee Brian Hebner checks on Otaku, but Otaku won’t give up. COACH It’s as if Vitamin X wants to pull Otaku’s arm out of the socket! Otaku lies on the mat for a few more seconds, before using all the energy he has left to crawl to the ropes. Vitamin X is still holding onto the Fujiarma Armbar, so Otaku II uses all of his energy to get on his knees. Vitamin X elbows him in the back to send him back to the mat. VX does an arm-wringer on Otaku, and then gives him a back suplex, with Otaku landing on his left hand. X follows with another arm-bar, silencing the crowd. COLE This has been like this throughout most of the match. Otaku II fell out of the ring and hurt his left shoulder, and Vitamin X has used that to his advantage. CABOOSE Vitamin X is doing an excellent job controlling Otaku. He’s showing his wrestling technique with this matchup. PRL must be impressed. COLE Vitamin X continues tormenting that injured shoulder of Otaku’s. Vitamin X picks up Otaku II and gives him an Irish whip. Otaku reverses, but is met with a clothesline from X! X picks up Otaku again, and whips him in the ropes. Otaku reverses again, and this time, Otaku is ready with a roaring elbow on Vitamin X (using the right arm)! Otaku clutches his left shoulder in pain. Tony Capella and Ayane Mitsui offer words of encouragement on Otaku. COLE That roaring elbow took a lot out of Otaku. Vitamin X and Otaku both take their time getting up. When they do, they both charge after each other, but it’s Otaku who wins that round by doing another roaring elbow on Vitamin X! Vitamin X gets up, so Otaku gives him another roaring elbow! X gets up, but walks right into a BAAAACK Bodydrop from Otaku. COACH Otaku II is making the comeback, despite the injured shoulder! Otaku stops to catch his breath. He holds his left shoulder, wincing in pain. COLE Otaku is a one-arm man. Which is a big problem since he needs both of his arms to do his finishing moves, the Bubblegum Crash and the Sharpshooter. CABOOSE Holy crap. You’re right. I didn’t realize that. Vitamin X really is great, isn’t he? Vitamin X uses the ropes to get up. He rests on a turnbuckle, so Otaku charges forward…and is met with a back elbow from X! Vitamin X and Otaku II are now both suffering from fatigue. Vitamin X goes for a clothesline on Otaku. Otaku ducks, grabs X from behind for a German Suplex! Otaku quickly covers Vitamin X. 1… 2… KICK OUT! Otaku II goes back to clutching his left shoulder. He punches Vitamin X in the face several times. But Vitamin X blocks a punch with a punch of his own. He punches Otaku in the face…err, mask, several times. He starts doing the Shane-O-Mac Shuffle, punching Otaku II in the face. Punch. Punch. Shane-O-Mac Shuffle. Punch! Vitamin X picks up Otaku. He puts him in a front facelock, and goes for a snap suplex. However, Otaku won’t budge. X tries for the snap suplex again, but Otaku still won’t move. Otaku suddenly escapes the hold, and attacks X with his right hand. Otaku does an Irish whip on VX, and then does a dropkick on Vitamin X, sending him over the top rope and onto the floor! Otaku crumbles to the mat. COLE What a move from Otaku! This is the perfect opportunity for Otaku to get some energy back. He can rest his left shoulder for a few seconds. CABOOSE Come on X! Get your ass back into the ring! Otaku II’s left arm is hanging by a thread. He slowly climbs the top rope, wincing every few seconds. COACH Now where is he going? The crowd buzzes in anticipation; Vitamin X gets to a vertical base. Otaku is on the top rope AND LEAPS OFF THE TOP WITH A FLYING CROSSBODY ONTO VITAMIN X!!! COLE A high risk maneuver from Otaku, and it looks like Otaku may have further injured that left shoulder! Vitamin X and Otaku II lie on the floor. The crowd is shocked at what they just saw. Otaku holds his left shoulder, tears coming out of his eyes. Tony Capella and Ayane are concern for their comrade. CABOOSE What a stupid move from Otaku. He already has an injured shoulder. Is he TRYING to make it worst? What is his deal? Otaku II and Vitamin X slowly get up. Otaku is up a few seconds before Vitamin X, so he grabs X and throws him back into the ring. Otaku climbs the top rope once again, as Vitamin X struggles just to get up. COLE He could be trying for the Shooting Star Press! But before Otaku can do anything, Vitamin X punches Otaku in the face. X punches Otaku again. Vitamin X seats Otaku II on the top turnbuckle, and then punches him again. VX gets on the top rope, and stops to taunt the fans. Otaku punches VX in the stomach, which causes VX to almost lose his balance. Luckily for X, he stands on the second rope. Vitamin X puts Otaku in a front facelock, going for a superplex. However, Otaku II shoves Vitamin X off the turnbuckle! Vitamin X falls to the center of the ring. Otaku II stands up on the top rope. A hush silence falls over the crowd. Otaku II leaps off the top rope… SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! COLE Shooting Star Press by Otaku onto Vitamin X! Can Otaku capitalize? CABOOSE No he won’t! No he won’t! Otaku II covers Vitamin X. Referee Brian Hebner counts. ONE! TWO! THRE—NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! COLE And Vitamin X gets the shoulder up just in the nick of time! CABOOSE Thank the lord! Thank you God! This disappoints the crowd. Otaku II gets up, holding his left shoulder. He waits for Vitamin X to get up. The crowd wonders what Otaku is going to do next. X gets up, albeit slowly. COLE What is Otaku going to do next? COACH He could be going for the Bubblegum Crash! COLE But how can he do that? His left shoulder is hurt. Otaku waits for Vitamin X to get up. COACH Here it comes! Here it comes! Vitamin X gets to a vertical base. Otaku grabs him, kicks him in the stomach, places X in between his legs. However, before he can do the Bubblegum Crash, Vitamin X does a BAAAAAAACK BODY DROP ON OTAKU! CABOOSE And so much for that. Vitamin X shakes his head, and then ascends the top rope. Otaku II is still lying on the mat. Tony Capella and Ayane Mitsui try to warn Otaku that Vitamin X is at the top rope, but it is unclear if Otaku is listening. The crowd is getting louder, knowing what is coming up next. COLE It looks like Vitamin X is going for The Leap Of Faith! Vitamin X stands on the top rope, a smirk on his face. He leaps off the top rope, with his right arm extended, going for The Leap Of Faith…BUT OTAKU MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! COLE The Leap Of Faith was countered! COACH I think that’s the first time Vitamin X missed his elbowdrop! CABOOSE How the hell? Otaku and Vitamin X surprisingly get up quick. Otaku grabs Vitamin X and places him in between his legs. He lifts Vitamin X up…and drops him on his head with the BUBBLEGUM CRASH!!! COLE The Bubblegum Crash connected! Otaku can win the match now! COACH But it looks like the Bubblegum Crash took all the energy Otaku had left! Indeed, Otaku lies on the mat, holding his left shoulder. He slowly gets up, sweating, breathing heavily, and stands over Vitamin X. Otaku II goes to grab X, BUT WAIT! Vitamin X grabs Otaku, and rolls him up! 1… 2… 3—KICKOUT!!! CABOOSE Damn. Vitamin X grabs Otaku and gives him a snap suplex. Vitamin X picks up Otaku, kicks him in the midsection, springboards off the second rope, and gives Otaku a DDT—NO!—Otaku escapes the DDT, and the back of Vitamin X’s head hits the mat hard! Otaku grabs Vitamin X’s legs, puts his right leg in between them, crosses X’s legs over it, turns around, and kneels down to apply the Sharpshooter! COLE Sharpshooter! The Sharpshooter is locked on! COACH Just like earlier tonight when Tha Puerto Rican made Spanish Fly tap out to this very same move! CABOOSE Come on X! Come on! You can do it! Don’t give up! Do not tap out! COLE How long can X hold on? The crowd is going wild! Vitamin X screams out in pain, while Tony Capella and Ayane Mitsui go crazy on the outside! Referee Brian Hebner checks on Vitamin X. Otaku cinches the hold. At first, X refuses to give up, but after a few seconds… VITAMIN X TAPS OUT TO THE SHARPSHOOTER!!! *DING DING DING* (11:43) COLE What a win by Otaku! “Ashburn” by Hikari starts playing. Ayane jumps up and down, a smile on her face! BUFFER Here is your winner…OTTTTAAAAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Otaku II gets his arms raised by Hebner, but he goes back to holding his left shoulder afterwards. “The Sheriff” Tony Capella and Ayane Mitsui come into the ring and hug Otaku. Vitamin X is still lying on the mat as “Ashburn” continues playing. CABOOSE Bah! This bites! COLE Can you believe the guts, the courage of Otaku? With a hurt shoulder, he was still able to pull out a win against one of The Lightning Crew’s best! COACH I had no idea he had it in him, Cole. That was incredible! Otaku stumbles around the ring, as the hurt shoulder makes him feel worst than he normally does after wrestling an 11-minute match. Tony Capella helps Otaku out of the ring, while Ayane Mitsui holds the ropes. The crowd cheers. COLE Vitamin X had the perfect gameplan. To pick apart an injured shoulder. And yet with Otaku’s shoulder hanging by a thread, was somehow able to reach down deep inside and pick up the win. First, by doing the Bubblegum Crash, and then by humiliating Vitamin X on national television by having him tap out to the Sharpshooter. CABOOSE Ugh. I freaking hate those “You tapped out!” chants! Think of how X must feel. First he loses to a cripple, and now he loses to a freak in a fruity mask! Is he jinxed or something? “The Sheriff” Tony Capella helps a tired, hurt Otaku II walk to the entrance while Ayane Mitsui looks on. And yet, they all have smiles on their faces, since Otaku scored another victory over The Lightning Crew. The three Mad Machine members turn to face Vitamin X, who is shocked over his lost. They all smile, including Otaku II, who is holding his left shoulder. They then turn around and leave through the entrance. COLE Vitamin X is now 0-3 in OAOAST pay-per-views. And The Lightning Crew leaves World Without End tied at one win and one lost. PRL made Spanish Fly tap out to the Sharpshooter, but Otaku II made Vitamin X tap out to that very same move. COACH I don’t think Vitamin X will have a Happy Halloween tomorrow. CABOOSE I don’t think I’ll have a Happy Halloween either. Infact, I KNOW I won’t have a Happy Halloween if Popick wins the World Title tonight. Vitamin X is up now, furious. He holds his head, cursing. He kicks the bottom rope as “Ashburn” by Hikari continues playing. VITAMIN X How can I lose? I’m the X-Man! THE. X. MAN!!!

COLE What a wild event World Without End has turned out to be so far. COACH And its about to get even more wild Michael, as in association with Knock Out Ultimate Fighting and live from Las Vegas, we bring you Axel versus Frank Bitz in Axel’s fourth ever fight. CABOOSE Axel has been doing incredibly well in Japan in the world of fighting, with two knockout victories and one via submission. COLE Let’s cross now live to Osaka for the fight. We cut to the sold out Osaka Arena where the octagon is empty except for the official. MIKE GOLDBERG Thanks Michael, the voice that Vince wanted and the co-host of the Man Show bring you the fourth KOUF Pay Per View spectacular, and we are set for a big heavyweight bout Joe Rogan. ROGAN That we are Mike, ‘Axel’ Adam Webster will take on the man who already has eight victories to his name in fighting, Frank Bitz. Bitz said earlier this week that professional wrestlers don’t belong in the world of fighting, so he’s going to send Webster back to the States. GOLDBERG And Axel did not take too kindly to those words at all. Word from the backstage area was that the two had a heated confrontation (© EWR 4.0) backstage, and there is a lot of bad blood brewing between the two. ROGAN Let’s have a look at the tale of the tape for this one. ‘AXEL’ ADAM WEBSTER Age: 19 Height: 6’3 Weight: 250 Strengths: Some Judo Training, Submissions, Knee strikes ROGAN Webster is known for his knee strikes; with his first two victories coming after he connected with knees to the head. He can knock you out standing or on the ground, and if he slaps the guillotine on you, you’re in some trouble Mike. GOLDBERG Certainly Joe, we saw the guillotine two weeks ago when Axel defeated Jack Walker after two very even rounds. FRANK BITZ Age: 25 Height: 6’1 Weight: 245 Strengths: Amateur Wrestling, Kickboxing GOLDBERG But you can contrast Axel’s strengths with Frank Bitz. Bitz was a top amateur wrestler for some years before deciding that fighting was the better career option. He’s looked very impressive in his first eight fights, with most of those victories coming courtesy of a keylock. ROGAN Webster has a leverage advantage over Bitz, which Bitz is trying to counter with the mind games, the taunting. But Bitz has to realise that professional wrestling is all about mind games, so this won’t affect Webster inside that octagon. The lights dim and ‘Epic’ by Faith no More hits, signalling the arrival of Frank Bitz. Flanked by his trainers, Bitz disrobes, and enters the octagon without much fanfare. GOLDBERG Bitz really looks to be in great shape, and this is the toughest test to date for him. ‘Epic’ is replaced by the opening guitar riff of Silverchair’s ‘Freak’. The song begins, and the cheers go up as one of Japan’s favourite gajin-turned-fighters, Axel, makes his way to the octagon, flanked by his trainers and crew, including a couple of familiar faces, former X-Division Champions Aaron Jones and Ken Baker, K Money and AJ Flaire. ‘Axel’ Adam Webster – as he is going by his real name – makes his way down the ramp to cheers or ‘Ass-El!’ Taking off his robe, he pays respect to the octagon by wiping his feet before entering, and going to his corner. ROGAN And look at Bitz; he wants to go right now! Frank Bitz is talking trash in the other corner, but Axel isn’t taking any notice, he’s just taking one final sip of water, and getting instructions from the referee. The introductions take place, and as they’re in Japanese, Rogan and Goldberg take the opportunity to talk some more. GOLDBERG Well folks, you won’t be able to understand the introductions, but you can sure understand these highlights. Here’s the end of Frank Bitz’ last fight against Italian Donatello Albertti. We cut to a tape of Bitz’ last fight in KOUF, where Bitz, a rather menacing looking American is jostling for position with Albertti, your stereotypical Italian. Albertti looks to have the advantage, as he is in the dominant position hammering away at Bitz, but Bitz somehow manages to shift positions. Albertti desperately tries to get back on top by trying a shot to the head of Bitz, but Bitz takes advantage of the miss and applies a keylock, which Albertti quickly submits to. ROGAN You can see there that Frank Bitz’ amateur background means that he can shift his weight and outwrestle you at any opportunity. Let’s take a look at Webster’s last victory, in similar fashion. We cut to the same night, where Axel and Jack Walker are facing off. Walker is trying to land a punch, but Axel is blocking quite well GOLDBERG Now you can see here where Axel fakes a blow, and Walker lowers his head for a millisecond and – oooooh – he is just drilled with a knee by Axel. That didn’t knock him out, but it certainly gave Axel the opportunity to take the advantage, as we see here. Walker, stunned by the knee, loses his balance, with Axel taking him down with a double-leg, and beginning a barrage of punches. Walker tries to tuck his chin to his chest to shield his head a little better, but Axel immediately grabs a hold of Walker’s head, and applies a guillotine. Walker, with a burst of adrenaline, changes the position, but it only gives Axel an opportunity to grapevine his legs around Walker, causing Walker to tap out. GOLDBERG And now that the introductions are out of the way, we can get to this very special fight that the One and Only AngleSault Thread in association with Knock Out Ultimate Fighting and their co-promotion, HI-YAH are bringing all you lucky fans. The referee has a word with both fighters, and orders them to touch gloves. Showing his disrespect, Bitz brushes gloves with Axel, and turns his back to the former two-time OAOAST Champion. Going back to his corner, the referee asks both competitors if they are ready, before starting the match to a cheer from the Osaka crowd. Axel and Bitz meet in the middle of the ring, guards up, ready for anything. Bitz tries a left jab, Axel evades, another jab, Axel blocks its entry to his skull. Bitz tries a few more jabs, but Axel is not letting anything through. Bitz connects with a jab and goes for a right, but Axel ducks out of the way and gets a jab, and a second. ROGAN Bitz is trying to beat Axel with power, but come on Mike, not gonna happen. Axel connects with another left jab, and another, and another, and it start to get to the point where the crowd can see what’s coming. Frank Bitz is trying not to let the jabs through, but he can’t. Another jab by Axel, a fake jab, and a HUGE right hook that rocks the socks off of Bitz! GOLDBERG WOAH! Frank Bitz is out on his feet, he’s trying to cover u… OHHHH!!!! ROGAN BITZ IS OUT! AXEL JUST LAID BITZ OUT WITH A VICIOUS KNEE TO THE FACE! Indeed he did, as we se on the replay, Bitz is trying to cover up after the right hook, and makes the mistake of ducking his head. Axel takes the advantage by jumping and driving his knee into Frank Bitz’s jaw, laying him out cold! As soon as Bitz head hits the mat, Axel points at his fallen opponent, and raises his arms into the air, shouting ‘DON’T EVER DISRESPECT ME! I WILL KILL YOU!’ GOLDBERG This fight is over, total dominance by ‘Axel’ Adam Webster! Frank Bitz cannot continue! Joe, see if you can get a word with Axel! Rogan steps into the octagon where Axel is celebrating with his crew. ROGAN Axel, could I just get a word – how’s that? A victory in forty-five seconds! AXEL Its great mate, really is. I was fuming over what he said, but I didn’t let that show, I wanted to do all my talking in here, and I’m not the one on the ground that won’t remember this tomorrow. ROGAN And do you have anything to say to those wrestling fans watching this simulcast on OAOAST World Without End? AXEL Oh yeah Joe. To everyone out there, I’ve been watching the show, I’ve been seeing what’s going on, and I’ve got opinions on everything. But now isn’t the time. I’m coming back, and I’m coming back soon. Be ready. ROGAN Thanks Axel. Back to you Mike. GOLDBERG Well there you have it folks, an Axel victory in forty-five seconds. We hope you enjoyed this short simulcast live from Osaka, Japan. For Joe Rogan, I’m Mike Goldberg, back to you in Cleveland. COLE Thank you Mike, and another dominant win to Axel, but the bigger story here is that he’s coming back! CABOOSE I know that when Axel heard about Drek Stone and Hoff leaving, he was deeply affected, and he wanted to make his feelings known straight away. But the man is all business, he’s all class, and he knew that he had a couple of very important fights coming up, and he had to train. After those fights were done, he could come back. To his credit, he fulfilled all his commitments, and he’s putting a dream on hold to come back and address the situations that surround him. I’ve got a lot of respect for the guy. COLE Well, we don’t know for sure when he’ll be back, but one thing we do know – you won’t want to miss it! And you won’t want to miss our next contest! *We fade into the shot of Axel training, showing off his impressive physique. A voice, not unlike THE VOICE~! Is heard* “He is one of the most successful athletes in OAOAST history…” A shot of Axel holding the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship above his head “His story is one of a struggle, the struggle of a man destined for greatness, the struggle of a man who had to give up one life to pursue another…” A shot of Axel entering the arena with the fans cheering him on “OAOAST ShopZone Presents: Axel – From Australia to AngleMania” A shot of Axel facing off with Drek Stone at AngleMania IV “With exclusive inerviews with the men who have been with Axel every step of the way. AJ Flaire. Gunner Sharps. K Money. Ragdoll. Hoff.” Axel and Hoff raising their arms in victory “Axel – From Australia to AngleMania. In stores Tuesday.”

We return to ringside, in the midst of an invasion. A female invasion, as the women of the OAOAST trudge down the rampway in single (and in one, Minnesota case, double) file and begin to position themselves around the ring. Serena Blackmore, El Chica Genérico, Kumiko Watanabe, Confusia, Jade Rodez, "Floggin" Molly Matthews, Pantera Combiatenta, Julie Sharcor, Valerie and Constance, Ms. Lindsay Gonzalez, Candie, Ayane, Lilith and Anne Anarchy all surround the ring. And there are quite a few looks of suspiscion being cast around by the women already. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the LUMBERJILL Match for the OAOAST Women's Championship! At this time, please welcome the Lumberjills!! A mixed reaction goes up as a few of the women play to or mock the crowd, depending on how much of a bitch they happen to be. COLE We are ready for an intriguing Women's Title Match here, as the entire Women's Division surrounds the ring. It's Ashley Street versus Brodie Lewis, which in itself is a great match. But of course, we have the added intrigue of the Lumberjills around the ring and of course, the open offer that is on the table from this mysterious Benefactor. CABOOSE That's right. $50,000 to ANYONE who costs Ashley Street the Women's Title tonight? I can't tell you how tempted I am to do a run-in tonight Mickey. COACH You'd hit a woman? Dude that's, like, illegal. Trust me. CABOOSE Let's just say, if the action comes this way, I've got a slapjack ready and waiting. COLE Please, try to contain yourself. .:CUE: The Distillers, "House of Mirrors":. Suddenly, all heads turn to the entrance way as Brodie Lewis stomps through the entranceway, glaring out into the crowd with a sour look on her face. Valerie and Constance are already sucking up and applauding Brodie from ringside, as she strides down the rampway with her trademark mohawk died a bright purple for tonight. Brodie reaches the ring and enters, looking around the Lumberjills with a glare before turning to the crowd and doing the same with them to. BUFFER Introducing first, the challenger. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York...she weighs in at one hundred and thirty three pounds...BBRRRRROOODDIIEEEEE LLEEEEEEWWWIIIIISSSSSSS!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" COLE This Benefactor issue really started with Brodie Lewis. She put The Cannon Kid on the shelf months ago and then, she collected the bounty on then Women's Champion Jenny Adams. Infact, she was so malicious that she found herself suspended for her actions, until just recently when she tried to collect whatever bounty is on Ashley Street's head. CABOOSE Well, Brodie isn't greedy. She just likes hurting people. If she can get paid a bunch of money to hurt people then even better, why not reap the rewards? That's her thinking and I wouldn't be surprised if Brodie kept the Lumberjills out of the match herself so SHE could get the $50,000 solely for herself. Brodie is checked over for weapons by the referee and comes up clean. "ANY WAY YOU WANT IT! THAT'S THE WAY YOU NEED IT! ANY WAY YOU WANT IT!" Suddenly, "Any Way You Want It" by Rise Against hits and the crowd come to their feet for the arrival of the Women's Champion! BUFFER And her opponent...from Evansville, Indiana. Weighing in at one hundred, fifty nine pounds...the OAOAST WORLD WOMEN'S CHAMPION... AAAAASSSHHHLLEEEEEYYYY... SSSSSSTTRRREEEEEEETT!!!! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Ashley bursts through the curtains and comes to an abrupt stop. Knowing that she's stepping in to the unknown in more ways than one, Ashley cautiously walks to the ring, keeping her wits about her incase of any sneak attacks from the side or behind. COLE Last month, Ashley staved off the challenge of both Valerie and Constance. But tonight, the odds have been staked even greater by the Benefactor...tonight, she's got to worry about no less than SIXTEEN women, let alone two. CABOOSE That's the beauty of the plan. She can't trust anyone, not even her closest friends. Money talks and Ashley knows it. Reaching the end of the ramp, Ashley looks down at Serena Blackmore to her left, glaring up at her. She then notices OAOAST newcomer, Julie Sharcor, also looking up with eyes on the Women's Title belt. Ashley brushes all the attention off though and steps into the ring...and IMMEDIATELY, gets jumped by Brodie Lewis!! COLE AND IT'S ON!! *DINGDINGDING!* Brodie unleashes on Ashley with a barrage of forearms across the back, Ashley still half in and half out of the ring and unable to defend herself. After a few more clubbing forearms, Brodie finally drags Ashley into the ring. Grabbing an arm, she then pulls Ashley into the centre of the ring and nails her with a forearm to the jaw! Ashley staggers back a few steps...but as Brodie steps in a second time, the Women's Champion retaliates with a forearm of her own! Brodie is surprised by the shot and wobbles briefly, only to come back with a second forearm! But Ashley instantly throws one right back! CABOOSE It sure didn't take long for this one to break down, huh? COLE It's a forearm-fest in the centre of the ring between the two toughest women in the OAOAST today! And these fans are loving every minute of it! The Lumberjills are as well, one half of the 'Jills routing for Ashley, the other half screaming their support for Brodie. Brodie is next to strike, connecting with another brutal forearm. This one has enough force to drop Ashley to one knee momentarily, but she comes straight back up SCREAMING...cupping Brodie behind the head with her left hand, while forearming her once, twice, three, FOUR consecutive times! Brodie is really staggered now, as Ashley measures her... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and lays into Lewis with a knifedge chop! *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and another! Brodie wobbles once more, but to save herself from falling over she grabs Ashley behind the head and pulls her into a knee strike in the process! Another knee connects to the gut, doubling Ashley over. Brodie continues to hold onto the back of the head though and delivers another knee strike, this one to the FACE~, knocking Ashley into a seated position! "OOOHHHHHHHHHH!" Ashley quickly checks her forehead for signs of blood and for now at least she's okay. Brodie looks to change that though as she punches down across the top of Ashley's head a couple of times, before stepping behind the Champion and Dragon Kicking her in the spine!! Dropping to her back, Ashley writhers in pain as Brodie drops to her knees, grinding her forearm into Ashley's face as she attempts a pinfall... 1... 2.. But it's still way too early yet and Ashley easily kicks out. Brodie quickly grabs her in a reverse chinlock as she kicks out, although only to control Ashley and not in an attempt to do any damage. Turning over, Brodie sits on Ashley's back with a Camel Clutch. On hands and knees, Ashley backpedals and escapes through Brodie's legs, British style, tripping Brodie onto her front by the ankles and steps into her own Camel Clutch. Grabbing a hold of the mohawk, the Champion then pulls Brodie's head up a little to expose the jaw...CROSSFACE STRIKE!! COACH OH, SNAP! Some of the women around the ring cringe sympathetically, as Ashley exposes the jaw again...CROSSFACE STRIKE!! Brodie is seeing stars now. Stepping away from Brodie, Ashley points a finger out at Valerie and Constance, threateningly suggesting that they might just be next, before going back to Brodie. Again she grabs the mohawk and again uses it to pull Brodie up. Grabbing an arm, Ashley sets Brodie for an irish whip...but Brodie puts on the brakes, slapping away the whip attempt and forearming Ashley in the jaw, yet again! The previous forearms have Ashley reeling and she staggers backwards into the ropes which are the only things holding her up at the moment seemingly. Brodie quickly charges in with a knee to the gut, before whipping Ashley into the ropes and rushing in afterwards with a palm stri...NO, ducked! Ashley and Brodie both turn around and come to meet each other again. Forearm by Ashley! Forearm by Brodie! FOREARM! FOREARM! FOREARM! FOREARM! Both women are stumbling around now, Ashley gaining her bearings the first and catches Brodie with a quick boot to the gut. Ashley then turns and hits the ropes...AND GETS TRIPPED BY LINDSAY GONZALEZ!! COLE ASSIST! And there's the first woman to try and cash in! GONZALEZ COVER HER! COVER HER! Eager for the cash, Lindsay screams at Brodie to pin Ashley. But, dazed and in no mood to help anyone else to free money, Brodie declines and instead pulls Ashley to her feet... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and chops her ruthlessly across the chest! Ashley slumps against the ropes as Brodie measures her again... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...for a second knifedge! Grabbing Ashley, Brodie then pulls her opponent off the ropes and holds her in place, while reeling back with a HEADBUTT!! Ashley collapses backwards, straight away getting covered by Brodie, to encouragement from Lindsay... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE I don't know if Lindsay would have been given the assist or not there, but regardless, we've seen what problems this Lumberjill situation poses for Ashley Street. Brodie shakes off the cobwebs and backs into one corner of the ring, while Ashley comes back to her senses. And already, early in this match, the Headbutt from Brodie has opened up a cut on Ashley's forehead! Ashley gets to her feet though, despite being cut and dazed. As she does, Brodie suddenly storms out of the corner and runs through Ashley with a Lariat! Again Brodie makes the cover quickly... 1... 2... But again, Ashley is quick to kick out! CABOOSE You know, it might be smarter if Ashley just quit and ran for her life considering she's got at least sixteen women to fight off. But, credit where credit is due, she's not. COLE Obviously, she didn't graduate from the Caboose school of cheap heelery. CABOOSE I'd be surprised if she graduated from anywhere, but that's neither here nor there. Pulling Ashley up, Brodie cocks her fist back and measures Ashley with a brutal right hand! And a second right hand! And a third, each punch aimed directly at the cut on Ashley's forehead. The cut is seemingly opening up now as more blood begins to trickle down Ashley's forehead towards her face. But despite that, Ashley continues to fight and ducks low to charge Brodie into the corner causing her to crash spine first into the turnbuckles. Cautiously, Ashley then comes back to a vertical base again...and both women try to attack with punches, but it's a knee from Brodie that connects first. Brodie then throws Ashley face first into top turnbuckle leaving her dazed once more. Ashley slowly staggers out of the corner as Brodie grabs her, thinking about throwing Ashley out to the baying Lumberjills ready to attack. But she soon decides she'd rather do the damage herself and clotheslines Ashley down! A few of the Lumberjills don't like that...so Brodie flips them off!! COLE As if we didn't know it before, Brodie Lewis is NOT here to make friends! Brodie helps Street up once more, only to once more slam her forearm into Ashley's jaw! Falling backwards, the middle rope bounces Ashley back up to a vertical base and she takes full advantage by diving through with her momentum, taking Brodie down with a Spear! And Ashley then mounts Brodie, all kinds of fired up as she punches wildly at Brodie's head and face! Brodie tries to cover up, but Ashley is relentless. So eventually, Brodie has to place her boots in Ashley's gut to launch her backwards...and Ashley falls right out of the ring! CABOOSE And now, business is going to pick up! COLE The Lumberjills are there, in theory, to help the workers back into the ring...but I'm not sure that's what Valerie and Constance have in mind! Falling right at the feet of the Lumberjills, Ashley tries to pull herself up. Already, Candie is trying to shove Ashley back into the ring as she's supposed to. But, she's soon joined by two others. Pushing their way to the front of the queue, Valerie and Constance barge Candie out of the way and start laying into Ashley with a barrage of forearms!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" The Minnesota Angels continue to pound away, until Candie finally gets sick of being pushed around and DRAGS Valerie off of Ashley! Running around the ring Molly Matthews and Jade Rodez also come around to help out Ashley Street and eventually the Women's Champion manages to roll into the ring. The focus is still on the outside though, as the Lumberjills are squaring up on the floor and ready to fight!! COLE Good for Molly and Jade! Ashley Street still has some friends who aren't going to stab her in the back for money! And now, it looks like Molly and Jade are warning The Minnesota Angels...they're watching Ashley's back! CABOOSE For now. COLE You're a very pesimistic man, Mr Caboose. The Lumberjills are held apart by other, neutral 'Jills...and eventually, they disperse back to where they were. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Brodie has Ashley up. An irish whip follows, sending Ashley across the ring and she rebounds into a hard, high knee from the challenger! Eventually, Ashley collapses onto her back, allowing Brodie to try for the cover again... 1... 2... Kickout! Valerie and Constance chastise the referee's count, while Brodie simply concentrates on pulling Ashley back to her feet. Taking her by the arm, she then whips Ashley across the ring again, this time into the corner. Ashley slumps into the buckles, as Brodie follows with DOUBLE KNEES~! into the chest! "LET'S GO ASH - LEY!" *clap clap clapclapclap* "LET'S GO ASH - LEY!" *clap clap clapclapclap* "LET'S GO ASH - LEY!" *clap clap clapclapclap* The crowd begin to rally behind the Champion, which distracts Brodie for little more than a couple of seconds before she sends Ashley across the ring into the opposite corner. Brodie waits, before charging again with more DOUBLE KNEES~! that leave Ashley slumped in the corner, gasping for breath. Pulling Ashley out, the growling Brodie then snapmares over the Champ and instantly hits the ropes in front of Ashley, going for a Running Knee Stri...DUCKED! But Brodie puts the brakes on, waits for Ashley to sit back up and mule kicks her in the back of the head! Brodie then hits the ropes again and this time CONNECTS with the Running Knee Strike! COACH Jimmy Rave style! COLE ... COACH C'mon, you know he's cool! Ashley is left staring blankly up at the lights, as Brodie makes the cover... 1... 2... BUT ASHLEY KICKS OUT!! "YYEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" Brodie and a few of the Lumberjills fume, as Molly and Jade continue to lead the pro-Ashley Street fanbase. Climbing back to her feet, Brodie signals that "that's it", before dragging Ashley to her feet by the hair. Still she holds the hair, as she measures the Champion...HEADBUTT!! AND ANOTHER!! BRODIE BRAINBUSTAAAAAAHH~! The crowd boo, as Brodie hooks Ashley up for the Brainbuster. And after a deep breath, Brodie sets and lifts Ashley up...COUNTERED! Ashley nails Brodie in the head with her knee in mid-air to block the move! Landing safely on her feet, Ashley then wrings the arm to get behind Brodie and applies a Half Nelson. But any thoughts of a suplex are thwarted though, as Brodie dives forward, sending Ashley throat first across the middle rope! Brodie rolls out of the way to collect her thoughts again, as Ashley remains hung over the middle rope. In perfect position for a right hand from... ...EL CHICA GENÉRICO!?! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE WHAT THE HELL!?! CABOOSE EVERYONE WANTS THE MONEY!! Molly and Jade, who happen to be standing meters away from Genérico, rush over and start screaming at the Generic Lady Luchador asking what she thinks she's doing. Meanwhile, Ashley has stumbles back into the ring and falls right into Brodie Lewis, who picks Ashley up and FOLDS HER IN HALF with a Saito Suplex!! Chaos and confusion has ensued, as Brodie makes the cover... 1... 2... COLE Genérico's going to be $50,000 richer!! NOOOOOOOO!! "YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" The crowd go nuts and Genérico, who seems to regret her actions already, runs her hand over her mask in disappointment at how close she was to becoming rich, rich, rich. Brodie meanwhile climbs up, fuming. Almost foaming at the mouth as she causes the referee to scurry out of her way. Slowly, Ashley begins to get up now, as Brodie is waiting impatiently. "ASH - LEY!" "ASH - LEY!" "ASH - LEY!" "ASH - LEY!" Ashley is up, as Brodie hits the ropes and goes for the Palm Strik...DUCKED! Turning around, Brodie gets caught with a boot to the gut and doubles over, grabbed by the mohawk and held in place by Ashley Street, who waits for some more encouragement from the crowd. KAWADA KICK! "OOOHHHHHHHHHH!!" AND ANOTHER! "OOOHHHHHHHHHH!!" A THIRD!! "OOOHHHHHHHHHH!!" Brodie staggers backwards a couple of steps, not knowing where the hell she is, as Ashley comes roaring...DUCKED! Ashley misses the Roaring Elbow and turns around, to be met with the Palm Strike from Brodie, leaving both women to collapse to the canvas!! "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" COLE Good Lord! Have you ever seen two woman who hit that hard...and two women tough enough to take those kind of strikes!?! CABOOSE Not until tonight, no. COLE Both women are down and we've got a standing ten on now! "ONE!" "TWO!" "THREE!" "FOUR!" "FIVE!" "SIX!" "SEVE.." Brodie is first to her feet. Shaking off the effects of the Kawada Kicks, Brodie turns around to where Ashley has reached her knees, pulling her forwards into a front facelock and setting up for the Brainbuster again. But suddenly, "Floggin" Molly Matthews is up on the apron, distracting Brodie! Brodie stops and puts the badmouth on Molly. But that allows Ashley to suddenly arch Brodie up and over, into a Northern Lights Suplex, with the bridge... 1... 2... KICKOUT! "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE So close! And it's lucky that Ashley still has Molly looking out for her! COACH She'll never get her llama like that though! Both Ashley and Brodie now struggle to their feet, meeting in the centre of the ring, with Brodie striking with a forearm! Which Ashley returns! Forearm, Brodie! Forearm, Ashley! Forearm, Brodie! Forearm, Ashley! Brodie stumbles backwards, but suddenly changes direction and thrusts out a Yakuza Ki...DUCKED! Around turns Brodie, as Ashley hits the ropes. Brodie ducks a clothesline, but Ashley hits the ropes again...AND GETS TRIPPED BY VALERIE!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" The Minnesota Angels celebrate on the outside, but suddenly, they find themselves tackled to the ground by Molly Matthews and Jade Rodez! And, as a brawl erupts between those four, the Lumberjills begin to pile over, which sparks and massive brawl on the floor between the entire force of Lumberjills!! "YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH IT'S BREAKIN' DOWN!! CABOOSE Where's Joey Styles when you need him!?! COLE Screw Joey Styles...CATFIGHT!! CAAATFIIIIIIGGHHHTT!! All the Lumberjills are going at it now and the crowd are whipped into a frenzy as back in the ring, Brodie sets Ashley up for the Brainbuster yet again. Ashley escapes though, twisting behind with a hammerlock and then pulling Brodie around, into a knee to the gut. Brodie falls to one knee as Ashley hits the ropes, looking for the Shining I Hate Your Face... ...and gets clobbered from behind by Serena Blackmore on the rampway!! Ashley collapses forward, as Blackmore grins sadistically at her handiwork. All around her, cheers from the crowd suddenly begin to ring out. But they're not for Serena. Instead, they're for the woman charging up behind her, pulling Serena around and THROWING her off the rampway to the floor below! JENNY ADAMS! "YYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE OH MY GOD!! CABOOSE Okay, enough with the Joey Styles shtick now... COLE NO! LOOK! IT'S JENNY ADAMS!! The crowd are going NUTS now as the returning, former OAOAST Women's Champion waits for Brodie Lewis to turn around. And as she does, Jenny springboards from the rampway up to the top rope, then off the ropes and into the ring with a Springboard Missile Dropkick that WIPES OUT Brodie!! "YYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" Jenny quickly rolls out of the ring before the referee, who's understandably distracted by the mass brawl on the floor, can turn around and spot her. Meanwhile, Brodie is already getting back up. But she only makes it to her knees before Ashley Street charges her, launching off the planted knee of Lewis and KICKING HER FACE OFF~!~! COLE SHINING I HATE YOUR FACE!! The crowd go wild, as Ashley makes the cover, Jenny frantically getting the referee's attention and pointing out the pin to him, which he dramatically dives to count... 1... 2... 3!!!!!!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE IT'S OVER!! ASHLEY STREET HAS BEATEN THE ODDS AND RETAINED THE WOMEN'S TITLE!! "ANY WAY YOU WANT IT! THAT'S THE WAY YOU NEED IT! ANY WAY YOU WANT IT!" BUFFER Here is your winner...and STILL the OAOAST Women's Champion... AAASSHHHLLLLLLEEEEEEYYYY SSSSSTTRRRRRREEEEEEEEETT!!!!!! The crowd continue to go nuts as Jenny Adams, along with the rest of the pro-Ashley Lumberjills roll into the ring to join in the celebrations. The rest of the 'Jills dejectedly stop their fighting, watching on as Ashley is handed the Women's Title and raises it high above his head in the ring. Molly quickly congratulates Ashley, Jade doing the same. But it's Jenny Adams who pushes next in line, embracing Ashley and holding her arm aloft in the air, much to the fury of The Minnesota Angels, Brodie Lewis and no doubt the Benefactor too, wherever she is. COLE What a moment here! Jenny Adams, making her return from injury to help Brodie Lewis defy the odds and retain the Women's Championship. And now, the Benefactor has a lot more to concern herself with. Not only Ashley Street, but a vengeful Jenny Adams! CABOOSE And all the money in the world might not save her if Jenny and Ashley have anything to say about it.
