DATE : Mon 25th February 2008 Monday Mayhem - from Chicago, Illinois, USA - United Centre
[FLASHBACK: HIGHLIGHS OF THE DOUBLE MAIN EVENT MATCH ANNOUNCED FROM LAST WEEKS MAYHEM FOR HIGHLIGHT NIGHT 2008.] *'HARDCORE NIGHTS' - STARFISH PLAYS* (THE MONDAY MAYHEM THEME BLASTS THROUGH THE SPEAKERS AS THE AUDIENCE IN ATTENDANCE GOES WILD. SOME OF THE SIGNS READ "CROSS NEVER LOST" "TREMERE THE RIGHTFUL KING" AND "SURREAL FUCKING BLOWS". FINALLY THE CAMERA SETTLES ON THE ANNOUNCE TEAM OF SCOOP CUTHBERTSON AND SNOOP JONES.) SC: Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to TFWF Monday Night Mayhem! We are coming to you live from the sold out United Centre in Chicago, Illinois and what a night of action we have in store for you! SJ: Wait a minute there chump! I want to protest in the strongest possible way about what happened last week. With the Hardcore Haven ruining the main event and forcing Ian Monks into making that 8 man Rangers Rules Match at Highlight Night. SC: What kind of protest are you thinking of? SJ: Um…I don't know yet, but when I do, you'll all be sorry. SC: Wow! My broadcast colleague has obviously thought this one through folks! For those of you who missed it last week, the Hardcore Haven will take on Fallen Angel, Hardcore Legend, Michael Norcia and Ian Monks in a 8 man Rangers Rules Match at Highlight Night! We all know the problems brewing between Angel, Norcia and Legend and the Haven have jumped at the chance to make their lives even more difficult! SJ: Shut up! Look you and all the peons out there know that Ian Monks should not be forced into a barbaric and brutal match like that. Sure he'll have Norcia, Legend and Angel protecting him, but the Haven are insane and violent maniacs, what if he gets hurt? Who will run the TFWF then? SC: All I know is from the reaction from our fans last week, that was probably the most popular match Ian Monks has ever booked! SJ: Oh screw it! I don't know why I even bother talking to you, you're just like all the idiot fans. SC: Great! Maybe that should be your protest, a couple of hours without you talking would be wonderful! SJ: Oh no, I'm not giving you the satisfaction! Plus, this show would fall apart without me! SC: Yeah right! Well folks not only was that match announced for last week, the other half of the main event at Highlight Night was also confirmed, it'll be James Onlee defending the World Heavyweight Title against the man he tried to crucify last week and the man who was not pinned to lose the World Title at NOR 8, Sebastian Cross! SJ: Never has a name been more pun-tastic than last week. Cross might've escape Onlee last week, but he won't at Highlight Night and he certainly won't tonight in the strange bedfellows main event match. SC: That's right. Ian Monks knows that controversy creates cash and the main event tonight is nothing if not controversial. Mike Mitchell and Tiger Young, the most heated of enemies, team up to take on Cross and Onlee. It'll be one hell of a match but how can those teams coexist? SJ: That's just going to be a chance for James Onlee to prove his dominance over those other three losers. I'm just glad we've got a World Champion we can all be proud of. SC: Well I don't know about that. Speaking of Champions to be proud of, how about the two new champions crowned last week? Epsilon is the new North American Champ and Jayden Knight captured the Light Heavyweight Title from Kirsta Lewis in that hard fought gauntlet match. SJ: Why would anyone be proud of those two? Knights a freaking metro sexual wimp and Epsilon is…well never mind about him. SC: Scared much? Ha, well they will both be in action tonight as first off Epsilon teams with Eaton Gore to take on APB and Jose Ramon. SJ: I loved APB's actions last week, it's about time a veteran wrestler like him starting slapping these young punks into shape. Speaking of slapping young punks around, he did it to Rhys Pect last week and tonight Skylar Kelly will do it again when he defeats Jayden Knight for the LHW Title! SC: That is going to be a high flying master class and with all the issues surrounding the tag team titles with those two, I'm sure Manny Rodriguez and Tyler Boyd will be near by! SJ: That is if Manny makes it past Kirsta Lewis! She's might be one belt down, but she's still a Champion to be proud of and she's still the thorn in Rhys Pect's side. She'll give Manny one hell of a fight here later. SC: No doubt about it. We've got so many huge matches tonight as Joey Lupino and Iziah Hunter face off, along with Hardcore Legend taking on Phenom. SJ: I know where my money is going in those two. SC: Plus in a rematch from the KOTDM final, Fallen Angel with Michael Norcia in his corner, takes on Tremere who will be seconded by 'The Cobra' Aaron Roberts! SJ: That'll be just another chance for Angel to prove his superiority over Tremere and also for Norcia to get some practice in watching Angel's back. They're going to need to work as a team at Highlight Night. SC: And that is very doubtful. There's two huge egos that I doubt can get along even with the match at Highlight Night to worry about! Well folks it was an amazing night last week, so many issues building towards Highlight Night and I know tonight will be no different, so let's take it to the ring for…. *'SIRENS AND CHURCH BELLS PLAY* (MEGA MONSTER HEEL HEAT. THE SIREN BEGINS TO BLARE THROUGHOUT THE ARENA. THE T.A.T. BEGINS TO GLOW AS THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA DIM TO JUST ABOVE TOTALLY BLACK. THE SCREEN IS STATIC AND ANY IMAGE IS UNDEFINED UNTIL THE RED SEAL OF JAMES' RELIGION APPEARS AND BEGINS TO FLASH IN TIME WITH THE SIREN. A SPOTLIGHT IN RED AND IN THE SAME SEAL APPEARS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP AS JAMES ONLEE EMERGES FROM THE BACK. THE CROWD HEAT IS INTENSE AS ONLEE STANDS ALONE ON THE STAGE, THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE BELT OVER HIS RIGHT SHOULDER. HE IS DRESSED IN A LONG BLACK ROBE AND EXTENDS HIS ARMS TO THE SIDE TAKING IN THE HATRED OF THE CROWD BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY DOWN TO THE RING.) SC: James Onlee is here and it looks like he's ready to address his 'congregation.' Last week he almost got Monday Night Mayhem thrown off our network with his attempted crucifixion of Sebastian Cross, I hope this week he's less controversial. SJ: Not bloody likely. James Onlee follows his own path and a network or someone like Sebastian Cross isn't going to stop him. I can't wait to see him end Sebastian Cross at Highlight Night and shut that little twerp up once and for all! (ONLEE STANDS IN THE RING AS THE HOUSE LIGHTS DIM AND TWO MEMBERS OF THE RING CREW BRING A PODIUM INTO THE RING FOR ONLEE TO STAND ON. HE WAITS FOR THE MEN TO FINISH THEIR WORK BEFORE STEPPING UP ONTO THE PODIUM AND PLACING THE WORLD TITLE BELT ON THE LECTERN IN FRONT OF HIM. HE TAKES A FEW MORE MOMENTS TO SOAK IN THE CROWD HEAT BEFORE LEANING FORWARD AND SPEAKING INTO THE MIC ON THE LECTERN.) JO: Sinners of the world rejoice…your saviour is here! (MONSTER CROWD HEAT.) JO: Ah the sound of unwilling sheep who do not yet understand that the flock they are currently part of is evil and wicked and must be destroyed. Fear not followers of Sebastian Cross…soon the full power and glory of James Onlee will come to pass and you will have a new leader to follow to the promised land. (MORE INTENSE CROWD WHICH ONLEE IGNORES.) JO: I have shown myself to be the true power and light in the TFWF. With the World Heavyweight Title in my possession I am more than a man. I am more than a Reverend…I am now complete…I am now power and glory and with His hand guiding my path…you will all soon fall into line…whether you like it…or not… (AGAIN THE CROWD HEAT IS HUGE.) JO: For some of you…like Sebastian Cross…it will be painful. To change the habit of a life time and repent for the evils you have committed. But fear not, at Highlight Night I will make an example of Sebastian Cross…when I defeat him…when I retain my World Heavyweight Title and when I punish him fully for the sins he has committed…then you will all realise that there is one way and that is the Onlee way. You will all fall into line and kneel at the feet of your new Lord and Saviour…oh what a glorious night it will be…when Sebastian Cross is finally no more! (THE CROWD HEAT IS MASSIVE AS ONLEE LAUGHS LOUDLY AND GOES TO SPEAK AGAIN WHEN…) *'ANEMA' - TOOL PLAYS* (MEGA MONSTER CROWD POP! THE ARENA NEARLY HAS IT'S ROOF BLOWN OFF AS SEBASTIAN CROSS WALKS ONTO THE STAGE IN A T-SHIRT AND JEANS. THE CROWD ARE GOING INSANE AS CROSS SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISGUST AT ONLEE BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP AND TOWARDS THE RING!) SC: Sebastian Cross has heard enough of the demented ranting of James Onlee and he's making a beeline for the World Champion! This crowd are going nuts! SJ: Demented ranting? Have some damn respect for the World Champion and his insightful and heartfelt words will you? You want to talk about ranting? Have you ever heard a Sebastian Cross promo? Now that's ranting! (THE CROWD ARE GOING WILD AS CROSS STEPS INTO THE RING AND QUICKLY HE HOPS UP ONTO THE PODIUM AND GOES NOSE TO NOSE WITH THE WORLD CHAMPION. THE TWO MEN WHO WILL BATTLE FOR THE WORLD TITLE AT HIGHLIGHT NIGHT STARE INTO EACH OTHER FOR A FEW MOMENTS AS THE ARENA IS ALMOST ROCKING WITH NOISE AND INTENSITY. CROSS STEPS BACK OFF THE PODIUM SHAKING HIS HEAD AND REMOVES A MIC FROM HIS POCKET. HE LOOKS OUT THE CROWD WHO ARE GOING WILD FOR HIM.) SC: Let me guess, I just made your day by coming out and shutting that demented idiot up, right? (MONSTER CROWD POP. CROSS NODS HIS HEAD AND TURNS TO ONLEE.) SC: I thought so. You see James Onlee, the people don't need someone like you to lead them. They don't want someone to force their views and beliefs onto them. They want to make up their own mind who to follow, they want to have respect for a person before they decide they are right to lead them. These people have seen all the crap you have pulled in the past Onlee and they sure as hell don't respect you. In fact, I don't think there's a single person in this building that isn't dying to see me kick your head in at Highlight Night and take back MY World Heavyweight Title! (MASSIVE CROWD POP IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. CROSS NODS HIS HEAD BEFORE CONTINUING AS ONLEE WATCHES HIM FROM BEHIND THE LECTERN.) SC: But that's a few weeks away yet Onlee, we've got plenty of time before I take my Title back for the people. No I'm here to shut you up and save this God damn show, but more importantly I'm out here because I don't care what the hell Ian Monks says, there's no way I'm teaming with you against Young and Mitchell tonight. (ONLEE LAUGHS BEFORE SPEAKING.) JO: What's wrong Sebastian? You don't trust me? (CROSS NODS HIS HEAD AS ONLEE SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS.) SC: You're damn right I don't trust you. But more than that Onlee. I hate you. I don't respect you and I want to fucking hurt you! (HUGE CROWD POP.) SC: After the crap you pulled last week in the ring, when you tried to nail me to a damn cross, I should ram my fist down your throat and rip out your black and poisoned heart. But you know what. I've been thinking. I don't think you've got the balls to go through with it. I don't think you've got the balls to take that step and actually follow through on your threats. You tonight Onlee, I'm calling your bluff. (THE CROWD RUMBLE AS ONLEE MOVES TOWARDS CROSS WHO REACHES INTO HIS POCKET AND PRODUCES AS HAMMER AND SOME NAILS.) SC: Yeah that's right, if you want to 'cleanse' Sebastian Cross of his sins then feel free to nail me to the only cross that matters. A TFWF ring. This is where I have sinned more than most men and if you want to make a damn statement you coward, go ahead and do it. (THE CROWD CAN'T BELIEVE IT AS CROSS SETS THE HAMMER AND NAILS ON THE MAT AND THEN LIES ON HIS BACK IN A CRUCIFIX POSITION. ONLEE STEPS OFF THE PODIUM AND LOOKS DOWN AT SEBASTIAN CROSS FOR A MOMENT BEFORE PICKING UP THE NAILS AND THE HAMMER. HE STANDS OVER HIM, CONTEMPLATING WHAT TO DO, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING A LARGE TFWF SECURITY TEAM RUSH THE RING AND WRESTLE ONLEE AND CROSS OUT OF THE RING AND DEFUSE THE SITUATION BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS.) SC: I don't believe what I've just seen. Sebastian Cross actually left himself open to be crucified to the mat by James Onlee! SJ: I'm telling you Cross is out of control. He's trying to get us thrown off the air. But more than that he's scared of Onlee and wants out of the match at Highlight Night! SC: Are you nuts? Didn't you just see what happened? Sebastian Cross says the only religion he believes in is the TFWF! I'm sure our fans can appreciate that. SJ: I'm just glad security got here in time, we don't want thrown off the air before the first damn match has happened. SC: Well folks security has got Onlee and Cross out of here. What a bizarre situation that was! Let's try to get back on track with our first match of the night. Epsilon/Eaton Gore vs APB/Jose Ramon (BELL RINGS.) JH: This match is scheduled for one fall... *'MR. DISASTER' - THE MADHATS PLAYS* (THE T.A.T. SHOWS A SERIES OF BARTSCH PERFORMING SOME PAINFUL LOOKING MOVES MIXED WITH A SILOHETTE OF AMANDA DANCING. ALLEN AND AMANDA WALK ONTO THE STAGE. HE HAS HIS ARMS STRETCHED WIDE AND SHE KNEELS DOWN IN FRONT OF HIM WITH HER ARMS STRETCHED WIDE. THE TWO MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE RING.) JH: Making his way towards the ring accompanied by Amanda…from Jackson Hole, Wyoming…weighing 245 pounds…Allen 'Portal' Bartsch!!! SC: I heard the nickname for APB at the moment backstage is grumpy old bastard... SJ: MILF! SC: Huh? SJ: Amanda...not Allen...though in those trunks... JH: And his partner... *'HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO' - THE HIVES PLAYS* (HEEL HEAT. THE WORDS 'JEALOUS...YOU SHOULD BE' FLY ACROSS THE T.A.T.. JOSE RAMON COCKILY WALKS ONTO THE STAGE ACKNOWLEDGING THE FANS IN HIS EGO DRIVEN STYLE BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY TOWARDS THE RING.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Los Angeles, California...weighing 195 pounds...Jose Ramon!!! SC: No doubt in his mind he should be the Light-Heavyweight Champion, but it also seems Jose Ramon still has his issues with Eaton Gore. SJ: Gore doesn't realize that simply his resentment for Jose is down to pure and unadulterated...jealousy... JH: And their opponents... *'HIT THE FLOOR' - LINKIN PARK PLAYS* (MIXED REACTION. T.A.T. FOOTAGE OF THE OVER THE TOP DESTRUCTION AND DEVASTATION WHICH EPSILON CAUSES IS SHOWN. HE WALKS ONTO THE STAGE EMMOTIONLESS AND MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH A PURPOSE.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Casper, Wyoming…weighing 293 pounds…he is the DWIWF North American Champion...Epsilon!!! SC: The near 300 pounder getting some cheers here from the crowd in that sensational victory he had a few weeks back to gain his first gold here in the T.F.W.F.. SJ: Just like the cheers Dustin Hoffman got in the movie rain man... SC: Will you stop! JH: And his partner... *'SUGAR SUGAR' - THE ARCHIES PLAYS* (SENSATIONAL CROWD POP. EATON GORE RUSHES OUT OF THE CURTAINS IN A WARRIOR-ESCUE FASHION AT TEN THOUSAND MPH. HE SLIDES INTO THE RING READY TO DISH OUT PAIN ONTO HIS NEXT TARGET.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Hannibal, Missouri…weighing 162 pounds…Eaton Gore!!! SC: CHICAGO GOING CRAZY FOR GORE! SJ: Epsilon actually smiled when Gore came to the ring...its like Revenge of the Freaks out here! FINISH...A very freaky back and forth encounter seems a very cohesive effort from Bartsch and Ramon who also seems quite happy to check out Amanda's clevage from time to time. Epsilon doesn't help Gore's case much, but Gore hangs on in there for his team. All of a sudden with the match swinging back the favour of Gore, Ramon produces a picture of Exaclibur and him with a newspaper of Monday! Gore looks perplexed for a moment enough for Ramon to cheap shot him and high tail it out of there. Epislon gets in the ring, but Bartsch destroys him with Gore unable to save him. APB rolls up Epislon for the easy one, two and three. Winners, via pinfall: APB & Jose Ramon Match Time: 10m55s Match Rating: 3 Stars (BACKSTAGE. STREET LOOKS CONCERNED. PECT TRIES TO CHEER HIM UP WITH A JOKE. PECT AND STREET ARE BACKSTAGE JUST SHOOTING THE SHIT.) RP: Why did the celery blush? JS: Why? RP: CAUSE HE SAW THE SALAD DRESSING! (HEARTY TITANIC LAUGHTER FROM THE TWO AS KNIGHT AND MANNY WALK IN. THE AWKARDNESS OF THE SITUATION BREAKS EVEN THE HUMOR CREATED FROM RHYS'S JOKE. WHICH WAS QUITE GOLD, IF I DO ADMIT. ANYWAY, JAYDEN STANDS THERE WITH HIS LHW TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER AND MANNY STANDS THERE WITH UH... A FROWN. MANNY STARES A HOLE THROUGH RHYS. RHYS RETURNS THE FAVOR BY STARRING A HOLE THROUGH JAYDEN'S BELT) RP: Must be nice to have a shiny new belt. Isn't it, Jayden? JK: Tha... Wait a minute... I mean... I'd know you'd like that. Probably gives you somewhat of a nostalgic feeling... burn! (MANNHY INTERRUPTS.) MN: Speaking of nostalgia... (RHYS TURNS HIS HOLE BURNING STARE TO MANNY) MN: That little nostalgia trip with Mike Mitchell. I'm wondering, what's the story to that exactly? For years you have been apart but seemingly know you are all buddy buddy. Anything behind that? RP: ...All I know is that Mike had my back when we were together and it seems like at least half of this room doesn't have it now. I think Mike deserves a little bit of respect for that. (MANNY THEN STEPS OVER TO RHYS AND GETS AN INCH AWAY FROM HIS FACE. HE SNARLES TOWARDS RHYS.) MN: You got something to say? JK: Uh... Hey guys... Good news. I heard that You're getting a rematch Pect. Plus, me and Manny have a rematch against Kelly and Boyd. So uh... You know.. Everybody happy! Let's party aMc style! (MANNY THEN TURNS TO A CONCERNED JONNAH STREET) MR: What's up? JS: It's my mom dude... I haven't been able to get a hold of her last night... (A LOOK OF SHAME OVER RHYS AND MANNY'S FACE. HAVING A HUGE DICK FIGHT BUT THE GUILT SETTLES IN. STREET'S CONCERN GROWS AS HE BARGES OUT OF THE ROOM...) (WE ONCE MORE GO TO THE BACK. IAN MONKS IS ON THE FLOOR IN WORKOUT GEAR. HE'S STRUGGLING, AND STRUGGLING. HIS FACE IS RED AND A VEIN IS POPPING OUT ON HIS FORHEAD. MONKS JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET THIS SIT UP... WELL, UP.) IM: Urrrrrgggggh. (KIRSTA LEWIS WALKS INTO SCENE.) KL: 1009.... 1010.... 1011 . Way to go Mr. Monks. 1012 Sit ups!!!! (MONKS FLOPS BACK. HE CLIMBS TO HIS FEET, WITH HELP FROM KIRSTA LEWIS.) IM: I'm a contender Mrs. Lewis. 1012 Sit Ups is nothing to me. (KIRSTA SMILES AT IAN.) KL: I'm sorry to say, Mr. Monks, I'm not here to watch you're superior workout. I'm here for business. (MONKS WIPES THE SWEAT OFF HIS FACE. HE SMILES AT KIRSTA.) IM: Of 'course, of 'course. I'm a businessman, so what's on your mind? KL: Well, see, I'm just a little worried that Manny may be just a tad overly aggressive tonight. He may just cross the line. (MONKS THINKS FOR A WHILE.) IM: Well, you ARE the greatest female wrestler around. You COULD handle Manny all by yourself. However, we don't want to see anybody 'Cross the Line' tonight, do we? No... We don't. So, I'll tell you what. Why don't you have Boyd go down to ringside with you? Yeah. (KIRSTA SMILES.) KL: Wonderful idea Mr. Monks. That's just perfect. Thank you. (AS KIRSTA WALKS AWAY, MONKS GOES BACK TO HIS SIT UPS....) IM: One thousand thir..... Urrrggghhhh (RINGSIDE.) SC: Seems that the aMc are certainly feeling the pinch of internal problems. SJ: How buff is Mr. Monks... SC: Yeah...obviously...well it seems the Intercontinental Champion is going to get some help here tonight Snoop and its up next... None Title - Manny Rodriguez vs Kirsta Lewis (BELL RINGS.) JH: This match is scheduled for one fall and is a non title affair... *'ANIMALS' - NICKELBACK PLAYS* (MAJOR CROWD HEAT. A PICTURE OF A CAT HEAD ENGULFED IN FLAMES IS SHOWN ALONG WITH A MONTAGE OF SEXY POSES OF LEWIS. KIRSTA WALKS OUT AND SIMULATES HER FINISHER BEFORE WALKING TO THE RING INTENSLEY. TYLER BOYD FOLLOWS IN A DAPER SUIT STRAIGHT OFF THE STREETS OF HOLLYWOODS FINEST STORES.) JH: Making her way towards the ring accompained by one half of the T.F.W.F. Tag Team Champions Tyler Boyd...from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida...weighing 130 pounds...she is the T.F.W.F. Intercontinental Champion...Kirsta Lewis!!! SC: These two might quite the power couple Snoop. SJ: How dare you imply such a thing! Mr. Boyd has a lovely partner in Natalia. SC: I have seen things, particularly on CWC which would imply Boyd isn't exactly against the whole idea of Kirsta watching his back either...know what I mean? SJ: Why the hell would they be staring at each others backs? SC: (sighs) Nevermind... JH: And her opponent... *'SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST' - SALIVA PLAYS* (BIG CROWD POP. MANNY WALKS ONTO THE STAGE BOUNCING ON THE SPOT AND CIRCLING HIS HEAD AROUND. HE SLAMS HIS TWO FISTS TOGETHER AND WALKS TO THE RING.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Long Beach, California...weighing 235 pounds...'The Universal Soldier' Manny Rodriguez!!! SJ: Terrible film... SC: What? SJ: Universal Soldier... SC: Will you concentrate on the damn match! SJ: Fine...have it your way... FINISH...Manny is all over Kirsta like a rash to start with, but as the match progresses, its Boyd's outside intereference which starts to tell the tail. Manny has enough and gets out of the ring and starts trading punches with Boyd as the ref tries to get some order, Natalia, Boyd's woman runs down to the ring and levels Lewis with the IC title she carries. Manny gets back in the ring and attaches the 'Coquina Clutch'. Lewis in no postion to not give up does. Winner, via submission: Manny Rodriguez Match Time: 16m08s Match Rating: 4 Stars (WE GET A BEHIND SHOT OF IZIAH WALKING FORWARD BACKSTAGE. IN A DETERMINED FASHION. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A FIGURE FROM THE PAST. THOSE FLOWING GOLDEN LOCKS... COULD THAT BE HER? AS HE IS STOPPED. THE CAMERA SHOWS OVER HIS SHOULDER AND WE SEE IT TO. AN APPIRITION. A WOMAN IN A SPARKLING SILVER DRESS IN THE DISTANCE. IT CAN'T BE. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE... WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAMERA IS KNOCKED TO THE SIDE AND THE CAMERAMAN FALLS TO THE GROUND. WE HEAR SOME CRIES OF HUMANITY IN WHAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ATTACK. SUDDENLY THE CAMERAMAN CATCHES HIS BEARINGS AND IS BACK UP. THROUGH A CRACKED LENS WE SEE PEACEMAKER STANDING WITH A BARBEDWIRE CHAIR... LITERALLY DRIPPING WITH BLOOD AND A LIFELESS IZIAH. MAKER THEN CRACKS ONE OVER HIS BACK FOR GOOD MEASURE. SUDDENLY THE WOMAN STEPS FORWARD AND INTO FOCUS. A STUNNINGLY BEATIFUL GIRL. PROBABLY TRYING TO MAKE HER WAY THROUGH ACTING SCHOOL. SHE STEPS FORWARD AND PEACEMAKER HANDS HER A WAD OF CASH. SHE THEN GLANCES OVER TO THE FALLEN IZIAH AND COVERS HER MOUTH. RUNNING FORWARD PROBABLY TRYING TO GET TO THE LADIES ROOM WHERE SHE CAN TOSS HER LUNCH. PEACEMAKER THEN SLAMS THE STEEL CHAIR ONE MORE TIME ON THE FALLEN IZIAH WHO QUICKLY JERKILY SQUIRMS BEFORE LYING BACK. MAKER THEN CROUCHES DOWN TO SPEAK TO THE EVISCERATED HUNTER.) PM: Seems you are still bound by your past... What a fool. You know how they say history repeats for foolish people? Well, what you say just a second ago was a figment of history that will never come back to you. See, because that isn't your history. That is your foolishness. What will be repeating is my total destruction of you... That is, until you become a man. Whatever means it takes. The door is open for another Hardcore championship match at Highlight Night... I suggest you take it... (PEACEMAKER THEN SPITS ON IZIAH BEFORE RISING TO HIS FEET AND EXITING SCENE. LIKE AS IF EXITTING FROM A WARSCENE. EVEN MAKER IS COATED IN THICK LAYERS OF BLOOD...) (THE ACTION GOES BACKSTAGE TO WHERE MAHONEY MACMILLAN IS STANDING BY ON THE INTERVIEW SET. THE CAMERA THEN PANS OUT TO REVEAL HIS GUEST, 'THE PURIST' MIKE MITCHELL TO A MASSIVE OVATION FROM THE CROWD IN THE BACKGROUND. MIKE IS STILL SPORTING A SLIGHTLY COVERED-UP SHINER FROM TIGER YOUNG'S PUNCH LAST WEEK. MAHONEY BEGINS THE INTERVIEW.) MAC: Ladies and gentlemen, here with me at this time is the man they call 'The Purist', Mike Mitchell. Mike, over the past month or so since the King of the Deathmatch qualifying matches, some serious bad blood has been boiling over between you and Tiger Young. First it was the 'accidental' chairshot during your match against Hardcore Legend, then it was his interference, taking out the referee and leaving you trapped in a submission against James Onlee, then it was the spit in the face that lead to what many are calling one of the finest bouts in wrestling history, which has since been dubbed 'The Battle of Pro Wrestling vs. Sports Entertainment.' MM: You know Mac, no offense, but I've got other stuff to do tonight, so can we just-- (MIKE STEPS IN GOOD-NATUREDLY AS HE SPEAKS UP AND MAKES THE ROLLING HAND 'CAN WE MOVE ON?' GESTURE AS MAHONEY CLEARS HIS THROAT AND CUTS TO THE CHASE.) MAC: Well anyway, last week we saw a confrontation between you and Tiger, he claimed he wouldn't take cheapshots, and then punched you, giving you that nasty shiner we can see there. The fans of TFWF have to be expecting you to retaliate Mike, so the question is what happens now for Mike Mitchell and Tiger Young? (MIKE STOPS TO THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MOMENT, RESTING HIS THUMB AND FOREFINGER ON HIS CHIN IN CONTEMPLATION. HIS FINGERS SLOWLY CREEP ACROSS HIS FACE AND GINGERLY STROKE THE BRUISED AREA OF MIKE'S EYE BEFORE MIKE TURNS BACK TO THE CAMERA WITH MAHONEY HOLDING THE MICROPHONE UP FOR HIM TO SPEAK.) MM: Well you know Mahoney, it's a very difficult situation no matter how you look at it. But from the perspective of Mike Mitchell it goes like this: Tiger Young called me out all those weeks back, accused me of 'stealing his spot' and said he wanted it back. And I told him, if he wants what he thinks he deserves, he's gotta prove it to me. And at Night of Revolution 8, I pinned his shoulders to the mat for 3 smack damn in the middle of the ring. You wanna talk aboot controversy, you wanna talk aboot 'what ifs' and 'coulda beens', the fact remains I pinned the man, 1-2-3 right in the middle of the ring. And to me, that says he DIDN'T prove he 'deserves' what I've got. (THERE IS A VERY VOCAL SECTION OF THE CROWD IN THE BACKGROUND NOW THAT IS ACTUALLY BOOING MIKE MITCHELL FOR HIS COMMENTS TOWARDS TIGER YOUNG. MIKE STOPS FOR A MOMENT, HEARING THEM AND LETS THE JEERS DIE DOWN BEFORE HE CONTINUES.) MM: But obviously, given what happened last week, Tiger still feels he's got something to prove. But am I gonna give him his rematch? No. Not 'til he's done something to EARN it. And tonight, he's gotta step into that ring with The Purist not as enemies, but as allies. And if he really wants to prove himself the better man, then he can go out there and show me what he's got, and maybe - just maybe - I'll give him a second chance. (A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE CROWD NOW IS ACTUALLY BOOING MITCHELL, BOTH FOR HIS COMMENTS TOWARDS TIGER AND FOR HIS APPARENT REFUSAL TO GIVE TIGER A REMATCH. MAHONEY CONTINUES THE INTERVIEW.) MAC: Speaking of second chances, last week we saw what seemed to be a spark of something between you and Rhys Pect. Could it be that you two have buried the hatchet and are thinking about-- MM: Let me stop you right there Mahoney before you make too big of a mark of yourself. Let me just say for the record, yeah, Rhys and I are on somewhat steady ground nowadays, but that's as far as it goes. He's got his things going, I've got mine, and I certainly don't expect to see him at the next reunion. MAC: Reunion? MM: Family, Mahoney. Try not to get ahead of yourself. Right now, all I wanna concentrate on is my issue with Tiger, and more importantly tonight, my match with Cross and Onlee. (THE CROWD GETS PUMPED UP BY THE MENTION OF RHYS PECT AND THE CONNOTATIONS THAT GO ALONG WITH IT. WITH MITCHELL'S FINAL COMMENTS IT LOOKS LIKE MAHONEY IS READY TO CLOSE UP THE INTERVIEW ON A SOMEWHAT LOW NOTE, BUT SUDDENLY FROM OFF-SCREEN A COURIER APPEARS ON THE SCENE TO DELIVER A TAPE TO MIKE MITCHELL. CONFUSED AND CURIOUS, MIKE AND MAHONEY PLAY THE TAPE ON NEARBY TV/VCR SETUP THAT ALLOWS THE TECHNICIANS TO KEEP TRACK OF THE SHOW AND SOON ENOUGH WE SEE THE TAPE OPEN UP WITH A NIGHT VISION STYLE SHOT CLEARLY OF THE MITCHELL FAMILY'S HOME IN CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND TIGER YOUNG APPEARS ON THE SCREEN TO A MASSIVE OVATION FROM THE CROWD IN THE BACKGROUND. TIGER BEGINS TO SPEAK.) TY: Hey there Mitchell, hope I'm not keeping you up too far past your bedtime here, but I thought it was pretty important to give you this message. See, I came up here to your family home - the house that bore the Purist - to get an idea of what kind of man you are, Mitchell, to find out just how much truth there is to all your little rants about where you came from and where you've been. And you know, for all the talk you do about people who 'built the house' of 'professional wrestling', with all the family secrets that got kept locked away in that house, I think it's about time it bore a newer, bigger, brighter and BETTER monicker. (TIGER SMILES HIS INFURIATING SMILE AND TWIDDLES HIS FINGERS FOR A MOMENT BEFORE HE REACHES OFF TO THE SIDE AND PUTS HIS HAND AROUND A LEVER. PRIMED TO PULL, TIGER LOOKS AT THE CAMERA AND GIVE ONE LAST SMIRK AND A WINK BEFORE HE YANKS IT BACK, UNFURLING AN ENORMOUS BANNER FROM THE GUTTERING OF THE MITCHELL HOUSE THAT DRAPES DOWN RIGHT ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE READING 'THE HOUSE THAT TIGER YOUNG BUILT' TO A MASSIVE OVATION FROM THE CROWD. THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON THE BANNER AND CUTS TO A REACTION SHOT OF MIKE MITCHELL WITH FURY IN HIS EYES BEFORE IT CUTS BACK TO THE SMILING TIGER YOUNG.) TY: I guess we know who made who, huh, Mitchell? So how about we settle this? You and Me... Tiger Young-Mike Mitchell II... At Highlight Night! (THE CROWD GOES NUTS FOR TIGER'S OFFER IN THE BACKGROUND AS TIGER SMILES AGAIN AND THE SCENE FADES TO BLACK. THE SCENE CUTS BACK TO MIKE MITCHELL, WHO IS JUST FUMING WITH IRE AT THIS POINT AT TIGER'S VANDALISM OF HIS FAMILY'S HOME. MAHONEY LOOKS UP AT MIKE WITH A QUESTIONING GLANCE, STAYING WARY OF THE LOOSE CANNON AND SOON ENOUGH MIKE TURNS TO FACE HIM AND SPEAKS UP.) MM: ...You know what Mahoney...? That son of a bitch just earned himself a rematch! (THE CROWD GOES BALLISTIC AT MIKE'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE MATCH AS HE STORMS OFF, NO DOUBT LOOKING TO FIND TIGER YOUNG AND BEAT THE HOLY LIVING PISS OUT OF HIM AS MAHONEY CLOSES THE SEGMENT UP.) (RINGSIDE.) SC: TIGER YOUNG GOING BACK TO HIS SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT ROOTS WITH THAT SIGN... SJ: Huh?

Joey Lupino vs Iziah Hunter (BELL RINGS.) JH: This match is scheduled for one fall... *'BULLET IN THE HEAD' - RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE PLAYS* (BIG CROWD POP AND WOLF WHISTLES. THE TA-TRON BURSTS INTO LIFE AND WE SEE A SHOT OF JOEY LUPINO IN AN OLD SCHOOL GANGSTER SUIT. HE IS HOLDING TWO TOMMY GUNS IN EACH HAND AND FIRES THEM AT THE CAMERA AS THE WORDS, "THE ENFORCER" ARE SPELT OUT ON THE SCREEN IN BULLET HOLES. THE FOOTAGE THEN CUTS TO SCENES OF LUPINO IN ACTION IN THE RING AND SOME OF HIS BEST MOMENTS. LUPINO WALKS OUT ONTO THE STAGE LOOKING CONFIDENT BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP TO THE RING.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from New York City, New York…weighing 235 pounds…'The Enforcer' Joey Lupino!!!

SC: The score between The Judge and The Peacemaker needs to be settled Snoop and I have a feeling we might well get a platform at Highlight Night 2008. SJ: Maker can finally shut this punk up! FINISH...An intense battle back and forth between Lupino and Hunter putting on a real display for the crowd. Joey's early control of the match is further out shone by Hunter showing the veteran a trick or two. Just as Hunter has locked in the 'Capital Punishment' with Lupino fighting the move. The Peacemaker hits the ring from the crowd and slams the Hardcore title into the head of Lupino. Hunter drops Lupino as the ref has called for a DQ win for the Enforcer. Peacemaker slams the Hardcore title over and over again into the head of the Judge as the title becomes completely and utterly blood stained. Winner, via DQ: Joey Lupino Match Time: 12m40s Match Rating: 3.5 Stars SC: GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! SJ: Maker is Hardcore!!! As Hunter lies motionless, Lupino gets to his feet and Maker backs off up the ramp holding the blood stained Hardcore title. Joey checks on Hunter when from nowhere he gets levelled by Hardcore Legend brandishing a lead pipe!!! SC: WHAT THE HELL!!! SJ: Hardcore is...ummm...HARDCORE!!! Legend literally destroys Lupino in the ring with the famed lead pipe seemingly crippling his arm with it. Legend gets a cascade of boos down on him as he lifts up the bloody lead pipe and stares at it...He looks directly into the camera. HL: I can play career killer too....ha ha ha! SC: I think Legend has lost it. SJ: Ohhhhh....a career killing contest between Norcia, Angel and Legend...I like it! SC: A disgusting display of inhumanity by Legend just to get one up on Angel and Norcia. SJ: Now thats how competition in Ian Monks' circle rolls Scoop... (T.F.W.F. MONDAY MAYHEM GOES TO COMMERCIAL BREAK.) (T.F.W.F. MONDAY MAYHEM RETURNS FROM COMMERCIAL BREAK.) SC: Welcome back folks...just before the break we saw two vicious assaults on both Iziah Hunter and Joey Lupino, Lupino we have been told is in a serious condition and has been rushed to hospital...(looks at Snoop)...take that stupid grin off your face... SJ: I just love the friendly competition between the guys in Ian Monks' circle. Man oh man, HL got them good with the career ender from nowhere and I think he might get double points for it being a all time rival... SC: WILL YOU STOP! TITLE - LHW Jayden Knight (c) vs Skylar Kelly (BELL RINGS.) JH: This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the T.F.W.F. Light-Heavyweight Championship... *'SUPER MAN THEME PLAYS* (MEGA CROWD HEAT. KELLY WALKS ONTO THE STAGE WITH IMAGES OF THE SUPERMAN LOGO PLAYING ON HIS T.A.T. SCREEN BEHIND HIM HE DOESNT LOOK AT ALL PLEASED WITH THE RECEPTION HE GETS, BUT WALKS DOWN THE AISLE.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Atlanta, Georgia...weighing 218 pounds...he is one half of the T.F.W.F. Tag Team Champions...Skylar Kelly!!! SC: A very successful singles and tag wrestler, Kelly could be adding a second piece of gold to his credentials here tonight Snoop... SJ: No doubt, you see Knight is totally lost without Rodriguez and vice versa... SC: Ummm well Manny beat Kirsta earlier tonight and Jayden beat her last week for the Light-Heavyweight title... SJ: Shut up... JH: And his opponent... *'SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST' - SALIVA PLAYS* (BIG CROWD POP.

JH: Making his way towards the ring from San Fransico, California...weighing 220 pounds...he is the T.F.W.F. Light-Heavyweight Champion...Jayden Knight!!! SC: Heck of a reaction for Knight here who took the belt from probably one of the great Light-Heavyweight Champions we have had in T.F.W.F.. SJ: Yeah and then his reign was over...Go Kelly!!! FINISH...A real treat for the fans at home as two of the most innovative in ring performers go back and forth with a show of speed, agility and down right breath taking performances. Kelly seems to have garnered the momentum close to the finish off the match when Tyler Boyd makes an apperance once more in that daper suit. He grabs the LHW title and looks to connect Jayden's face with it, but Jayden delivers a 'JK-47' to the belt and knocks Boyd out of the ring. As Knight springs off the top rope with a leg drop, the referee tries to garner some control. Manny then slips in the back way and spins Kelly around and scores a spinning spinebuster. The crowd lap it up as Kelly is out. Manny runs around the ring and pushes Jayden in. Jayden the suicidal wrestler crawls and drapes an arm over Kelly for the one, two and three... Winner, via pinfall and STILL T.F.W.F. Light-Heavyweight Champion: Jayden Knight Match Time: 13m25s Match Rating: 3.5 Stars SC: What a win for Project Nova! SJ: Exactly...a win for Project Nova...and Boyd's suit looks ruined! SC: Well that piece of crap tried to stick his nose in once more tonight and I am glad...damn glad The Novas are building this sort of momentum going into Highlight Night 2008...time someone showed Illuminati that they can't steal them all. SJ: Scoop! When did you get passionate! SC: The second I watched Hardcore Legend take down Lupino's career for no reason other than to prove something to Angel and Norcia... SJ: Scoop, Mr. Monks doesn't like people being biased...doesn't make good viewing for the nerds at home... (THE SHOT CUTS FROM RING SIDE TO A VERY FUZZY, AND BLURRY VIDEO. THE SOUND OF A SORT OF RECORD SKIPPING IS HEARD PLAYING OVER THE BACKGROUND. THE SCREEN IS STILL SNOWY, BUT LINES ARE SEEN DROPPING IN AND OUT ALL OVER THE SHOT. FINALLY THE SKIPPING RECORD CUTS OUT AND THE SCENE IS SILENT AS THE SHOT SHOWS A MAN AND A WOMAN SEEMINGLY STANDING AT AN ALTER, GETTING MARRIED. THERE IS A PRIEST BEFORE THE COUPLE, HIS FACE THOUGH IS TOTALLY BLURRED OUT. THE BLACK AND WHITE SHOT PANS TO THE WOMAN, HER FACE ALSO BLURRED OUT AND THEN OVER TO THE MAN, WHO IS REVEALED TO BE DORIAN WONG. THE MINISTER SPEAKS, BUT ITS EXTREMELY DISTORTED AND ODD.)

REV: I now pronounce you artist, and wife, you may now kiss your bride, Mr. Wong. (DORIAN LEANS IN TO KISS HIS BRIDE AS JACK AND JILL RUN UP PAST THE CAMERA AND HUG THEIR FATHER AND NEW MOTHER. THE BRIDE'S FACE IS STILL BLURRED, BUT JACK, JILL, AND DORIAN COULDN'T LOOK HAPPIER.) (BACKSTAGE, WE ARE SHOWN A LOCKER ROOM IN TURMOIL. BEER CANS ARE LITERED ALL OVER THE FLOOR. A LOUD "WHOO HOO!" AND PHENOM COMES INTO VIEW. THE CAMERA PANS AROUND AND SHOWS PHENOM CHUGGING A BEER. TORCH, TREMERE AND THE COBRA ARE ALL JOINING HIM. PHENOM SMASHES THE CAN ON HIS HEAD.)

(ALL FOUR... WELL, THREE AS TREMERE DOESN'T JOIN IN, LAUGH. TREMERE TAKES ON A SERIOUS LOOK.) TRE: Highlight Night isn't going to be a regular match. It's going to be a match for revenge. It's going to be a match where only one side will walk out alive. US! The Hardcore Haven! (CELEBRATION FROM THE HAVEN. TORCH BRINGS OUT THE WHISKY AND THEY ALL TAKE A FEW DRINKS.) T: Norcia, Angel and Legend will really have their work cut out for them. We're going into this with a hell of a lot of momentum.... They're going into this with.........

JH: Making his way towards the ring from New York City, New York…weighing 298 pounds… Phenom!!! SC: Big bad Nom is here and I tell you he is psyched up for this Main Event at Highlight Night 2008... SJ: I imagine so...Nom is that sort of guy who gets psyched very easily...and screws up even easier...GET HIM SOME PAIN KILLERS! SC: Will you stop! FINISH... A power house battle with Phenom over powering Legend at the beginning maybe a slight bit of revenge for the attack on Nom's good buddy Lupino earlier on. Phenom is slamming rights and lefts into Legend and generally out powering the former World Champion. Nom is about to go for the big one, when Legend turns the tide. He slips the lead pipe still covered in blood from the attack on Lupino and cracks Nom's jaw with it. Nom spits out at least two teeth with blood pouring out of his mouth, Legend nails the 'Ultima Manus' and picks up a three. Winner, via pinfall: Hardcore Legend Match Time: 14m44s Match Rating: 3 Stars SC: He's got that blasted pipe Snoop! Somebody stop him! SJ: He's like a man on a mission here tonight! Legend surveys Nom who seems out of it with blood pouring from his mouth when Torch jumps the guard rail from the ringside area to a sensational pop. He leaps into the ring and stands between HL and Nom. SC: TORCH IS SENDING A MESSAGE! SJ: Oh my God! Torch inhales a massive amount of his cigarette and blows it in Legend's face. He then flicks the cig in Legend's face! Spears him to the ground and the two start rolling and brawling around the ring! SC: Come on the Haven! Come on! *'COCHISE' - AUDIOSLAVE* SJ: YES!!!! SC: Fallen Angel and Michael Norcia are making their way towards the ring here now and it seems we are going to have a bit of Tremere and Angel earlier than expected! SJ: Thats it! Make em suffer! Tremere w/ Aaron Roberts vs Fallen Angel w/ Michael Norcia In the ring Angel grabs Torch and delivers a double handed chokeslam as Nom is booted out of the ring by Norcia. SC: Angel and Norcia making short work of the... *'WEDDING NAILS' - PORCUPINE TREE PLAYS* SC: ...HERE WE GO!!!! Tremere and Roberts rush the ring as the crowd go wild. Roberts immediately spears Norcia to the outside as Tremere starts to make short work of Fallen Angel. The referee rings the bell to signify the match as underway. FINISH...A great battle in the ring with equal fighting on the outside. It seemed at times the referee was going to lose control, but he kept his nerve. Norcia would once more be pivotal to the win as he slipped into the ring during the chaos and gave Tremere and unexpected backwards sidewalk slam. Angel then nailed the 'Cradle of Darkness' getting the one, two and three. Winner, via pinfall: Fallen Angel Match Time: 15m00s Match Rating: 3.5 Stars SC: Angel gets the win once more with the Norcia assist and you have to think Tremere is getting very tired of Norcia very quickly... SJ: What a win! And they say they cant coexsist...well look at the carnage in the ring...The Hardcore Haven left there licking their wounds... (THE ACTION GOES BACKSTAGE WHERE RANDALL DYLAN AND EPSILON ARE HAVING A DISCUSSION, SOMETHING ABOUT HAIR REGROWTH TREATMENTS, NOT THAT IT MATTERS REALLY. SUDDENLY THE CAMERA PANS OUT AND WE CAN SEE ALLEN 'THE PORTAL' BARTSCH WITH HIS BACK PRESSED UP AGAINST THE WALL AT THE CORNER, AND AS EPSILON AND DYLAN PASS BY HIM HE BLINDSIDES THEM AND COMMENCES A VICIOUS ASSAULT. HE BOUNCES EPSILON'S HEAD OFF A DOOR, DDTS DYLAN ON THE CONCRETE AND TOSSES EPSILON THROUGH A PLATE GLASS WINDOW IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, JUST TO MENTION A FEW OF APB'S BRUTAL ACTS INFLICTED UPON THE DUO. FINALLY, HE GRABS THE SEMI-CONSCIOUS DYLAN AND DRAGS HIM INTO THE BUILDING'S STAIRWELL AND HOLDS HIM UP FACE TO FACE.) APB: Enter the Portal... Exit your sorry ass! (WITH THAT, APB TOSSES RANDALL DYLAN DOWN THE STAIRS IN A VIOLENT FASHION, LEAVING HIM CRUMPLED IN A HEAP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRWELL WITH A REMORSELESS SCOWL ON HIS FACE AS THE SCENE FADES TO BLACK.) (THE ACTION CUTS TO THE ILLUMINATI LOCKER ROOM WHERE ALL IS NOT WELL. TYLER BOYD IS STANDING WITH AN EXTREMELY PISSED OFF EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE AS KIRSTA LEWIS AND BOYD'S FIANCÉ NATALIA ARE ARGUING.) KL: Look you little skank what the hell is your problem? You dare come out into my ring and get involved in one of my matches? You're lucky I didn't kick your head off! N: My problem is you. I know what you're up to Kirsta. Sniffing around Tyler, well you need to realise he's taken. He's happy with me and we don't need you screwing things up for us. As for your match? Well, now you know how it feels to have someone get involved in your business when they shouldn't. (KIRSTA LOOKS LIKE SHE'S JUST ABOUT TO SNAP BUT IS ABLE TO JUST HOLD HER TEMPER.) KL: Listen to me Natalia and listen good because I'm saying this only once. You try to involve yourself in one of my matches again, I'll break you in half. As for Boyd being happy? That's not what he tells me! (NATALIA'S EYES BULGE AS KIRSTA LOOKS PLEASED WITH HERSELF. SHE TURNS TO BOYD WHO LOOKS MORE FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY BY THE SECOND.) N: Is this true Tyler? Is this bitch right, you aren't happy? (BOYD EXHALES LOUDLY AND THEN LOOKS AT BOTH WOMEN.) TB: You know what? I don't need this shit right now, not from either of you. This isn't a fucking high school and I don't want to be the centre of this drama. I'm out of here. God damn it. (BEFORE EITHER WOMAN CAN SAY ANYTHING BOYD PICKS UP HIS BAG AND STORMS OUT THE LOCKER ROOM LEAVING NATALIE AND KIRSTA ALONE. NATALIA LOOKS IN SHOCK BUT SHE TURNS BACK TO KIRSTA WITH A LOOK OF HATRED ON HER FACE.) N: You know, I'm sick of this and I'm putting a stop to it. Next week Kirsta, me and you in the ring, I want a match! (THE CROWD IN THE ARENA POP AS KIRSTA STARTS TO LAUGH LOUDLY. THEN STOPS WHEN SHE REALISES NATALIA IS SERIOUS.) KL: You? In a match with me? Honey, it'd be my pleasure. But trust me, you don't know what kind of hell you are in for. (KIRSTA WALKS AWAY LAUGHING AND SHAKING HER HEAD AS NATALIA IS LEFT LOOKING LIKE PERHAPS SHE BIT OFF MORE THAN SHE CAN CHEW.) (ACTION COMES BACK TO RINGSIDE.) SC: Well we saw the shock inclusion of Natalia tonight during the Manny and Kirsta match and to be fair she kind of helped sway the match Manny's way. SJ: Kind of...SHE DAMN WELL COST KIRSTA VICTORY. SC: I wouldn't go that far...but next week the in ring debut of Natalia as she faces the Kirsta Lewis. SJ: Only Boyd would be so cool to have two hot babes fighting over him...Tyler Boyd is a God... SC: Well speaking of which it seems like Satan devised our next match...strange bed fellows indeed...

HE REMOVES HIS SUNGLASSES AND THROWS THEM INTO THE CROWD FOR THE FANS AND THEN HE STRUTS TO THE RING.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Calgary, Alberta, Canada…weighing 215 pounds…Mike Mitchell!!! SC: The look on both their faces implies a massive degree of dislike and mistrust... SJ: Onlee is going to kill the pair of them! JH: And their opponents... *'AENEMA' - TOOL PLAYS* (THIRD MASSIVE POP IN A ROW. ALLOWING THE HEAVY BREATHING EFFECT OF THE SONG TO PLAY. CROSS STANDS WITH HIS BACK TO THE CROWD IN A MESSIAH STANCE. HE SPINS AROUND AS THE SONG KICKS IN WITH A BLUE PYROS FALLING DOWN ALL AROUND HIM.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Parts Unknown…weighing 227 pounds…Sebastian Cross!!! SC: Cross knows Onlee is border line crazy and now he has to tag with him. SJ: Cross might actually win now someone can carry him for this match... JH: And his partner... *'SIRENS AND CHURCH BELLS PLAY* (THE SIREN BEGINS TO BLARE THROUGHOUT THE ARENA. THE T.A.T. BEGINS TO GLOW AS THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA DIM TO JUST ABOVE TOTALLY BLACK. THE SCREEN IS STATICY AND ANY IMAGE IS UNDEFINED UNTIL THE RED SEAL OF JAMES' RELIGION APPEARS AND BEGINS TO FLASH IN TIME WITH THE SIREN. A SPOTLIGHT IN RED AND IN THE SAME SEAL APPEARS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP AS JAMES ONLEE EMERGES FROM THE BACK ACCOMPANIED BY TWO MEN DRESSED IN BLACK SUITS AND WEARING BLACK VEILS OVER THEIR FACES. JAMES WALKS OUT INTO THE SPOTLIGHT AND THE TWO MEN STAY ON THE STAGE ON THE ENTRY WAY. FLASHES OF GOLD LIGHT EXPLORE THE ARENA AS JAMES MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP, HEAD BOWED AND HANDS HELD IN PRAYER, THE SPOTLIGHT FOLLOWING HIS EVERY MOVE. AS HE APPROACHES THE RING, HE RAISES HIS ARMS UPWARD AND TO THE SIDE, AS THEY REACH THE PINNACLE OF THEIR ASCENT GOLD EXPLOSIONS FLY FROM THE TURNBUCKLES LEAVING MIST FLOAT FROM THEM. JAMES THEN LOWERS HIS ARMS, CLIMBS THE STEPS AND ENTERS THE RING, GIVING ONE FINAL GLANCE TO HIS PARISHONERS TO GO BACKSTAGE, AND THEY DO.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from the Redfield Church of God…weighing 245 pounds…he is the Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion...The Reverend James Onlee!!! SC: Look at him...staring down Cross like a man possessed. SJ: This is going to be interesting... FINISH...And interesting it was. Not too friendly tags back and forth, but all in all match of the night as far as action goes. Both teams showing why individually they are four of the premier stars in T.F.W.F.. The turning point of the match comes when an exchange between Cross and Young leaves for Cross extending his hand to Onlee, Onlee then grabs that hand and pulls Cross into the turnbuckle removing a 'nail gun' from his possessions. He places it on the hand of Cross and fires off a nail right into the middle of it! The crowd cannot believe what they have just seen as Cross screams in pain and is forced to rip his bleeding hand off the imposed turnbuckle. Onlee gets in the ring and on the other side Young and Mitchell begin fighting over who is the legal man. Young goes to cheap shot Mitchell and Mitchell ducks and drops Young's throat across the ropes. Onlee tries a sneak attack, but Mitchell ducks once more and nails a clothesline sending him to the outside. Mike grabs Cross who is passing out from the blood loss and hits a 'Flawless Execution' no argument from the ref who seems to want this one over as Mitchell gets the cover and the win. Winners, via pinfall: Mike Mitchell & Tiger Young Match Time: 20m35s Match Rating: 4.5 Stars After the match as Cross leads bleeding in the ring, Onlee backs up the ramp holding his World title with a sick look on his face.
