The Golden Age of Grotesque hits as Goth and his men walk out to the ring, Goth is wearing a black Armani suit as the fans are booing him. He enters the ring and stares at the people who are booing him and showing signs that he needs to get lost as he grins big time.

Goth Isn't this something? Is this the applause that a great leader should get? Well I could care less what you idiots want of me. Because quite honestly? I'm just going to shove my left boot in all of your asses one at a time. And dont think I'm capable of doing so, because you all know I CAN!!!

The fans boo Goth even louder as he applauds them for their efforts

Goth: I will make my time short here, because quite honestly? I am getting tired of of these Texas fans. Quite honestly? I cant wait until I'm back in New York City and enjoy the greatness that this city holds over a wasteland of Dallas, Texas!!!

The fans boo him louder as he starts to laugh even louder

Goth: Get a life people, you belong to me as much as all these idiots backstage and when the time is right?? Even John Irons will get the picture eventually

With that Goth is about to exit the ring as he suddenly stops

Goth: Oh and Rex big boy? Don't expect your sorry ass to win tonight, because quite honestly?? At this Monhts PPV? I want to end your career... How do you like that big boy???

With that Goth exits the ring as the show goes underway


Chaos vs. Fang

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our opening match!!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6'0 and weighing in at 220 pounds!! Hailing from Long Pond, PA!!! He is The Wolf God!!!! Fang!!!!

The howl of a wolf is heard as the lights in the arena dim. Wolfmoon from Type O Negative begins to play and a shower of white pyros comes from the entrance. Fang walks out in his wrestling attire, a nice white t-shirt, black jeans and black shoes. He walks around the ring area with a sneer on his face but finally slaps hands with some of the fans, while he recieves a mixed reaction. Fang slides into the ring to await his opponent

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 265 pounds!! Hailing from Orlando, Florida!!! The Wrecking Machine!!! Chaos!!!!

Lights fade as "Blow Me Away'' by Breaking Benjamin begins with the lights flashing in the darkness to the music and then as soon as the song gets going full swing the arena lights come on and chaos appears and stands at the top/center of the stage.. as he holds his hands above his head fireworks once... twice... three times as they go off behind him and then he continues to walk down the ramp at a slow and ominous pace. Chaos then makes his way up onto the apron climbing through the second rope and ascends to the top rope where he poses for a moment with his hands raised in the air, the crowd is booing the hell of him as he jumps down for the ropes and gets into a classic wrestling stance ready to fight his opponent.

Tex Martin: Two men that know each other really well, both men that want to go back into the winning mode once more to fight for a title.

Duff Travers: Yeah and both men got something to prove to the boss.

Tex Martin: I dont think Fang needs to prove anything.

The match gets underway as Fang gets the upperhand after blocking a right hand from Chaos and kicks him against the ribs with a right knee. Fang lifts the right arm of Chaos and then starts to kick the ribs several times, this causing the former AWA International Champion to fall down to his knees. Fang runs to the ropes and executes a dropkick to the ribcage of Chaos, this causes him to fall down and roll around in the ring holding his ribs. Fang slowly walks over to Chaos and grabs his right arm and places his knee on the ribs as he pulls hard on the arm and bends it backwards.

Duff Travers: Good strategy from the Wolf God, too bad that The Monster will come back and beat him.

The referee checks in to see if Chaos wants to submit to the pressure that Fang is putting him in, but Chaos refuses to give in. He slowly gets to his knees and then to his feet as he uses his power to push Fang in the ropes and then executes a slam that sends Fang hard on his back. Chaos holds on to his ribs as he is breathing heavy and then he exeutes a big tiem Knee drop to the the face of Fang before going for the cover. But Fang manages to kick out at the count of two. Chaos grabs him by the head and wraps his powerful arm around the chin in a reversed chinlock. Using his weight on top of Fang as he is trying to cut off all the oxygen to the brain. Fang is trying to get to a vertical base and then grabs the head of Chaos as he goes for a Jawbreaker. But Chaos manages to stop him before then as he pushes Fang into the ropes and then goes for a running clothesline as Fang comes off the ropes. But Fang ducks the clothesline and then out of nowhere he hits his patented finisher on Chaos

Tex Martin: He delivered the Fatal Shot out of nowhere!!! What the hell??

Suddenly we see Goth emerge on the entrance way with Sapphira alongside him. The two walk to the ring as Fang is distracted by them. Fang is offering Goth to enter the ring and fight him like a man, as Goth is laughing and shaking his head no. The two stare at each other when suddenly Chaos has gotten to his feet again and turns Fang around before destroying him with his Annihilator and goes for the cover. The referee goes for the count and calls for the bell as the match is over.

Stormy Canyon: The winner of this match!!!! Chaos!!!!!

Chaos slides out of the ring as Goth raises his arm in the air and grins towards his brother as his man from the Family has chalked up a win.


Winner: Chaos

Goth can be seen backstage in his office talking to his lawyer, who is explaining him that he cannot do a damn thing about the whole thing that has happened last week with John Irons making his presence felt in the match of Thor and Canis. This angering Goth as he sees the camera.

Goth: I may not have the chance to fire you Irons, but watch your back big giant... I can make your life a living helll and you know why? Because I can just someone an offer that he or she cannot refuse and that will mean the end of your existence... So enjoy the coming time until we will wage war big idiot.....

with that the shot fades to darkness as we go to a commercial break


Loki vs. Canis

Texx: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now time for Canis’ first match as International Champion, though it is technically non title.

Duff: Yeah but Loki’s a dangerous competitor and with Carrie Stevens by his side Canis could be in trouble.

SC: The following non title match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first……

However neither competitor’s music hits as instead “Halo” by Machine Head hits the speakers and Jason Stevens and Marty McFarge make there way to the ringside area, they get behind the announcer’s desk and put headphones on.

Texx: Jason? Marty? What the hell are you two doing here?

JS: What do you think? I have issues with Loki and Canis is holding onto my title, that’s why I’m out here!

”Can I Play With Madness” is screamed over the PA as the classic Iron Maiden song blares over the PA as a Raven enters the arena, the Raven circles around the arena a couple of times before landing on a turnbuckle and the arena goes dark, when the lights come back on Loki von Niffelheim is standing on the top turnbuckle with Carrie Stevens standing opposite it, it doesn’t take long for Loki to notice Jason at the announcer’s table and glares at him as the music dies down, Carrie notices her brother as well but remains focused on the match as “Schizophrenic” hits the speakers and the stadium lights flicker into darkness.

SC: Already in the ring, from Hel weighing in at 230ibs and being accompanied by Carrie Stevens LOKI VON NIFFELHEIM! And making his way to the ring, from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 232ibs, he is the reigning International Champion CANIS!!!!

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the start of the match between Canis and Loki. Just then a bell chimes and then another, it the opening to "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC. Appearing at the top of the ramp is Loki, dressed in a priest's garb, and he is accompanied by two fully smocked and habited nuns.

Tex: What the hell? This isn't Loki's entrance and what is going on with the priest get up and who are those two nuns?

Duff: Why are you asking me? You know I don't know as much as you do.

Loki and the two nuns move down the ramp and Loki helps the nuns up to the apron ring.

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring the challenger! From Nifelheim, Hel weighing ...

Loki takes the mike, from Stormy.

Loki: Hold on there sister, the nuns and I need to say an opening prayer with the crowd. Fans we have gathered here tonight to give thanks to the almighty god, that I might remove the blight that is Canis. We pray that his soul will rot in Hel. Amen. Now I would like to introduce the two fine nuns with me tonight, Sister Carrie, and Sister Sophie, they will demonstrate the proper way for a pious woman to act, cue the music

"I touch myself" by the Divinyls. Both nuns tear away there smocks and throw off their habits to show that it is in fact Carrie, Loki's new manager, and Sophie, his new protégé. They are wearing nothing but bikinis and begin dancing erotically, sending the crowd into a frenzy. As the 'holy' women show off their illustrious moves to the gawping male population, the lights abruptly dim and turns the arena completely black with "I Touch Myself" vanishing from the arena speakers instantly. This brings a host of booing and hostility from the crowd

Duff: Uh oh.. it's got a lot colder in here. I got goosebumps!!

Tex: Well i guess this was to be expected... atleast you haven't got a bump in your pants anymore...

The lights remain out as a video begins to play on the giant screen over the entrance way accompanied by whispers of prayer and begging for forgiveness, some sounding more painful than others. We see symbols, images of suffering, a man on a cross with a thorny crown, rituals, more symbols... each image flickering quickly to the next, equally disturbing one. Footage of Canis hitting his Illumination finisher begin to filter in to the film, each stage of the manouveur freeze framed until the opponents head is drilled into the mat. The images flash quicker and quicker until they become almost a blur... the sequence finishes with an image of a hooded Canis staring into the arena with a sickening smile, which then merges with a picture of the head of Jesus Christ on the cross, then finally an angel. Silence

Tex: What.. on Earth.. was that?

Duff: Don't you mean what in the hell was that?

With Loki staring at the screen, the lights flash back on to reveal Canis in the ring behind the Deceiver and his two assistants. Sophie notices him first out of the corner of her eye and lets out a startled scream before ducking out of the ring, Carrie following in the same manner. Loki turns abruptly around to face the Angel of God preparing for battle

Duff: WOAH!!! Where'd he come from??

Texx: Jason, can I ask what your thoughts are in relation to Canis?

JS: He’s everything I hate about religion in the form of a Goth, he preaches god but reveals himself as a hypocrite whenever he wrestles, whatever happened to love thy neighbor and all that shit?

MM: What Jason said.

Simon returns to the ring and signals for the bell and the match begins, Loki locks up with Canis and the two men exchange several submission holds for a few minutes (causing an audible yawn from where Jason’s sitting) however Canis gets frustrated at the fact that Loki keeps getting out of his holds and leaves the ring for a breather, Canis reenters the ring and the 5 count and Loki charges at him looking for a Clothesline, Canis ducks, spins around Loki and hits him with a DDT, he does for a cover 1……2……kickout by Loki but Canis keeps his cool and picks up Loki only to be hit with a jawbreaker, as Canis staggers around for a bit Loki runs at him and hits a bulldog, Loki proceeds to roll Canis onto his back and hits him with an elbow drop, and another, and another, Loki bounces of the ropes and hits a running leg drop and goes for a cover 1…..2…..kickout by Canis.

JS: Who does he think he is? Hulk von Niffelheim?

Whilst the fans at home laugh at Jason’s remark the action continues inside the ring, Loki and Canis are back on there feet and Loki has Canis in a side headlock, Canis pushes him off and Loki bounces of the ropes, Canis drops down expecting Loki to go over him but instead Loki hits a running senton and goes for a cover 1….2…..kickout by Canis and I mean that literally as Canis actually kicks Loki in the head with the leg that wasn’t hooked to break up the pin, Loki is momentarily stunned and Canis takes advantage by rolling Loki into a Small Package 1….2….kickout by Loki and the two men start brawling.

Texx: That small package wasn’t enough to get the job done!

Duff, Jason and Marty: That’s what she said!

As Texx groans at that remark the action continues, the brawl has somehow managed to be contained within the ring with neither side having a clear advantage however Canis uses the referee’s confusion to his advantage by low blowing Loki and goes for a cover 1…..2…..kickout by Loki and as soon as both men are on there feet the brawl continues, this time it’s Loki that takes advantage of something (this time it was Canis finally noticing Jason and Marty at ringside) and rolls up Canis 1….2….Canis rolls through into a pinning combination of his own 1…..2….kickout by Loki, when the two men get to there feet Loki charges and goes for a clothesline, Canis ducks and looks to repeat the combination he used for the first pinfall of the match however Loki reverses the DDT by hitting a Northern Lights Suplex bridging for the pin 1…..2….kickout by Canis who trips up Loki as he tries to get to his feet and locks in a single leg crab.

Texx: The champ is in control!

JS: Does he always state the obvious?

Duff: Does the sun set?

Canis remains in control of the hold and Loki makes his way over to the nearest bottom rope, however Marty has snuck away from the announcers desk and he pulls the rope away from Loki’s hand grinning as he does, he feels someone tap him on the shoulder and turns around…..seeing Sophie’s MMA tutor from earlier this week Chuck Norris.

Texx: Where the hell did he come from?

Marty quickly lets go off the rope and Loki grabs onto it breaking the hold, he smiles nervously at Norris and quickly makes his way back to the announcer’s desk, meanwhile in the ring Loki is using the top rope to help himself up and Canis charges at him, Loki sees him coming and drops down dragging the rope down with him sending Canis flying over the top rope and to the floor a few feet from where Carrie is standing, she keeps her distance whilst Norris keeps an eye on Jason and Marty, the latter of whom looks like he’s a scarred easily person who just saw a thousand ghosts, Loki gets back up to his feet and waits for Canis to follow suit, when he does Loki launches himself over the top rope and hits Canis with a cross body block taking out Canis, as he regains his footing Loki shoots a glare at Marty who pretends to not notice him, Loki picks up Canis and rolls him back into the ring and follows him in, Loki goes for a cover 1….2….kickout by Canis who proceeds to roll him up 1….2….kickout by Loki and once both men are on there feet they proceed to brawl again.

Texx: This has been back and forth so far and neither man is about to give up…..hey what are you two planning?

The camera shows Jason and Marty talking to each other without the headsets on, Loki ducks one punch and goes for a clothesline on Canis who ducks as well…..and the referee gets creamed in the process, Jason whispers something in Marty’s ear and Marty sprints up to Chuck, hurls a lot of insults his way making the fans at home think that he has a death wish but his next actions confirm when Marty bitch slaps Chuck Norris before running like hell and Norris follows, Jason springs into action and slides into the ring and Yakuza Kicking Loki down, Canis glares at him but Jason leaves the ring (just as Marty gets roundhouse kicked into the middle of next week by Norris) and Canis picks up Loki’s limp body and hits him with his finisher The Illumination just as the ref comes to and goes for a cover 1….2….3!!!!!

SC: Here’s your winner, the International champion CANIS!!!!!!

Canis rests on his knees as the ring announcer broadcasts the result of the match across the PA. Sophie and Carrie slide into the ring to tend to the fallen Loki, who is holding his neck and head after being hit with the Illumination. Canis stares at them psychotically without them noticing and gradually rises to his feet. The crowd try and alert them, but it's too late. The Angel of God grabs Sophie by the hair and drags her to her feet, tugging her head back so that she looks towards the heavens to a chorus of boo's. He aggressively shouts at her and points towards the sky as Carrie looks on helpless, before wrapping her left arm around her throat in a cut-throat and hoisting her into the torture rack, ready for Illumination Tex: NO! He can't do that! Who the hell does he think he is?! Duff: Loki, wake up!!! Carrie do something!!! Just then, a euphoria sweeps the crowd as none other than Chuck Norris storms down to the ring with huge intensity in his eyes. Canis notices the commotion and releases Sophie before Chuck hits the ring, scarpering under the ropes and rushing towards the ramp. The crowd cheers fanatically as Chuck helps Loki to his feet and Carrie and Sophie hurl abuse at Canis Duff: Yeah!! Chuck Norris saves the day again!! Tex: There is only a God if Chuck Norris says so!! As Canis retreats slowly towards the back, a priest dressed in Opus Dei colours scurries out to the monk, who looks bemused as to his arrival. The priest grabs Canis by the arm and almost drags him out of sight behind the curtain as the crowd chant "CHUCK, CHUCK, CHUCK, CHUCK" as loud as they possibly can


Winner: Canis

The scene opens up backstage at Monday Night Insomnia, more specifically The Family’s Locker Room, where Benjamin Drake and Goth’s team of lawyers are discussing the breach of contract case with one another, whilst that is underway Jason is talking with Marty.

JS: Tonight Marty, the first step to my first title reign in the Asylum Wrestling Alliance begins even if I have to compete in a hardcore match against Black Bone it doesn’t matter to me because he has a lot of injuries as a result of last week’s match against Black and I will be there to take full advantage of them!

Jason says with a grin.

MM: Aren’t you worried about Loki though? I mean he has Carrie and Sophie at his side and God knows how many…..

Jason cuts him off.

JS: I was not stupid enough to tell the girls any of my weaknesses Marty, Carrie may of picked up on them whilst she was still my manager but as far as I know they know squat about my weaknesses, so I’m not worried about that, but your right, Loki could interfere in the match and get away with it thanks to the Hardcore stipulation but I’m prepared for that possibility and regardless I will defeat Black Bone and move one step closer to my destiny: my first AWA championship, and no I don’t count the award I won at Wrestle Quest as a championship as it’s not something that can be defended.

The camera fades to ringside as the scene fades.


Black Bone vs. Jason Stevens

font color=silver>THEM BONES by Alice in Chains hits the speakers in the American Airlines Arena, as the lights in the arena dim, and we see Mack BLACK BONE Blackheart step out from the backstage area and onto the entrance ramp. Bone stares down the crowd before cracking his knuckles then heading off down the ramp to the ring. When he arrives at the ring Mack climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then he steps over the top rope and into the ring.

TEX: Blackheart had a great match against Erik Black so he should have an easy time with Jason Stevens tonight for the Number One Contendership for the International Title. I mean, come on, Carrie booked on Jason and Marty so I just know that Stevens does not have his mind on this match.

DUFF: That is where I must differ with you Tex. Jason is even more determined to win this match to prove to Carrie that he never needed her as his Manager in the first place. That is the problem when you get involved in business dealings with relatives. Jason has already been in the rankings for the International Title and his win in this match tonight will simply mean that he finally gets his shot at the next Pay-per-View.

STORMY CANYON: Here is our first participant in this match, for the Number One Contendership for the International Title, from Billings, Montana, at 7 feet 1 inch in height and 318 pounds, it is MACK “BLACK BONE” BLACKHEART!!!!!

HALO by Machine Head hits the speakers and we see Jason Stevens, with Marty McFarge, step through the curtains from the backstage area. The absence of Carrie Stevens is apparent as we notice that Jason has a “NO CARRIE” T-Shirt on. Jason and Marty walk to the landing at the top of the entrance ramp. There we watch as Marty drops his pants and turns his behind toward the camera to reveal written on his underwear are the words “KISS MY…CARRIE!” After that rather interesting pause, Jason and Marty head down the ramp to the ring. Jason climbs into the ring as Marty takes a seat at ringside.

TEX: Look at that pathetic little geek! Jason Stevens is giving up 1 foot 6 inches in height and 143 pounds of weight. There is no way on this planet that he can defeat Black Bone.

DUFF: Dream on Tex. Jason Stevens is a well-accomplished wrestler who never lets height or weight differences deter him. He will win tonight to show Carrie that she is no longer needed by him and he will then become the International Champion at the next Pay-per-View.

STORMY CANYON: Here is our second participant in this match, for the Number One Contendership for the International Title, from Las Vegas, Nevada, standing in at 5 feet 7 inches and weighing 175 pounds, it is JASON “THE SENSATION” STEVENS!!!!!

Referee Simon Jones calls the wrestlers to the middle of the ring. He informs them this is an Extreme Hardcore Rules match with the winner obtaining the Number One Contendership for the International Title at the next Pay-per-View. Both wrestlers indicate they are ready to wrestle so Referee Jones calls for the bell and this match is officially underway. Immediately the two lock up and because of his height and weight advantage Black Bone is able to quickly back Jason Stevens into the ropes. Referee Jones steps in and calls for the break and Black Bone breaks but quickly swings for a punch to the head of Stevens. Jason saw the blow coming and he ducks out of the way and head butts Blackheart in the mid-section, driving him back a little bit. Jason rebounds off the ropes and lands a flying forearm to the chest of Mack which has little effect on him. Stevens again rebounds off the ropes and tries a flying body tackle but Blackheart catches him in mid air and drops him on his knee causing the back of Stevens to his knee hard. He rolls Jason off his knee and goes for the pin. Referee Jones drops in for the count. ONE…TWO… but Stevens manages to get a shoulder up to break the count. Blackheart stands up and he starts to drag Stevens to his feet by his hair. About halfway up Jason lands a hard punch to the family jewels of Mack Blackheart and then Stevens grabs the waistband of the wrestling trunks of Black Bone, and he drops to the mat pulling Bone over his head. Mack goes flying through the ropes and he lands hard on the arena floor near where Marty McFarge is sitting.

TEX: That was a cheap shot on the part of Jason Stevens!

DUFF: There are no cheap shots in an extreme hardcore rules match Tex!

Referee Jones walks over to the ropes to check on the status of Black Bone outside the ring. Jason Stevens butts in and Referee Jones has to push Jason back to get him away from the ropes so he can make the count on Black Bone. While his back is turned we see Marty McFarge get up from his folding metal chair, fold the chair up, and whack Blackheart over the back with it, driving Mack to the concrete arena floor. Marty quickly sets up his chair and sits in it acting innocent like nothing happened. Referee Simon Jones turns around to see Blackheart on the arena floor but he doesn’t know what happened to him. He asks McFarge if he attacked Mack and Marty puts on his innocent face and shakes his head NO much to the displeasure of the crowd who try to inform the Referee that Marty interfered in the match.

TEX: How much of this interference is Referee Jones going to allow before he does something about it?

DUFF: Okay, Tex, for the sake of education, let me say this very slow so that you will fully understand. THIS – IS – A – HARDCORE – RULES – MATCH – WHICH – MEANS – ANYTHING – GOES – INCLUDING – INTERFERENCE! Did you understand that?

TEX: Sorry, in the excitement of the match I forgot.

Referee Jones keeps Jason Stevens back long enough to get a count going on Black Bone. ONE…TWO… Blackheart is up to his knees and making his way to the ring apron. THREE…FOUR… Mack pulls himself up on the ring apron and stands up. FIVE…SIX… He is about to step through the ropes when Stevens rebounds off the opposite ropes and flies head-first toward Black Bone to knock him off the ring apron. Blackheart saw him coming and he ducks as we watch Jason Stevens fly, head first, over the top rope, landing hard on the arena floor, and rolling and crashing into the wooden barricade. Blackheart steps into the ring as Referee Jones starts the count on Stevens who is now outside the ring.

TEX: Great move on the part of Mack Blackheart!

DUFF: Lucky you mean!

Blackheart is smart to lay back so he does not get in the way of the count of Referee Jones on Jason Stevens. ONE…TWO… Marty McFarge is helping Jason to his feet. THREE…FOUR… Marty walks Stevens to the ring apron. FIVE…SIX… Marty assists Jason to the ring apron and then shoves to roll him into the ring stopping the count of Simon Jones. Blackheart is quick to run over and begin stomping on the head of Jason Stevens. Jason backs into a corner to try to get away from the assault but all he accomplishes by backing into the corner is to block himself from an escape. Mack continues kicking Jason in the chest and head and Stevens doesn’t appear as if he will get out of this desperate situation.

TEX: Heh heh, Mack Blackheart seems to have the number of Jason Stevens now!

YELLOW: Well Black Bone better watch out or that number will be another loss in his loss column.

Just then, "Can I play with Madness" begins playing throughout the arena, and Loki appears brandishing a baseball bat.

Duff: Ooh, I don't think Jason is gonna like this.

Tex: Not at all, and Marty would be smart to stay out of the way this time. Here he comes!

Loki charges down the ramp quickly and slides into the ring. Jason is not gonna let this happen and is backing away.

Tex: Looks like Jason wants no part of that bat and is backing away. Black Bone, seems amused by Jason's sudden cowardice. Look at that smile, he knows whats coming.

Duff: Yep.

Tex: Insightful as always.

Loki looks at Jason and then suddenly swings the bat at... Black Bone, hitting him solidly in the back of the knee. This drops Black Bone to one knee.

Tex: What, Loki just hit Black Bone. What in hell is going on here?

Duff: I don't know, maybe the whole feud thing was a ruse, maybe Jason and Loki are a team and we didn't know it.

Loki goes to hit him again this time Black Bone catches the bat before it hits the other knee, Black Bone than stands up with pain in one knee

Tex: My god he caught it, now Loki is a bit shocked that Black Bone caught the bat.

Black Bone now standing on one knee, he rips the the bat out of Loki's hand, and Black Bone goes to swing back but Loki ducks and and slides out of the ring. He stares at both Black Bone and Jason Stevens as he heads to the back.

Tex: What a coward!

Duff: Hey is that Carrie up there? Man did she look hot in the nun outfit earlier, even better without it. Think she would go...

The camera has swung and is now focused on Carrie, whom Loki is approaching. She has a mike in her hands and cut Duff off in mid sentence.

Carrie: What Jason? You are still my brother!

Loki joins Carrie, gives and big kiss and they head off to the back. In the mean time, Black Bone is left in the ring wanting to strangle Loki.

Marty McFarge is livid as he sees Jason Stevens stuck in the corner and getting the beejeebers kicked out of him by Black Bone. We see Marty stand up and fold his chair up and then walk over to the ring and toss the metal folding chair into the ring. Marty then rummages around under the ring and pulls out a fire extinguisher and tosses that into the ring also. He finally finds a large metal trash can with a lid and he tosses those into the ring too. Black Bone ducks a few of the items thrown into the ring by Marty and this distraction is enough for Jason Stevens to mount enough of an attack to try to escape from the corner. Stevens punches Blackheart in the groin a few times until Mack drops to his knees and holds his crotch because of the pain. Jason crawls out of the corner and picks up the folding metal chair and he walks over to attack Black Bone with it. Jason lands a hard chair shot to the upper back of Black Bone causing Blackheart to drop to his hands and knees. Blackheart rolls out of the way and tries to get a hold of the fire extinguisher but just before he can lay his hands on it we see Jason Stevens drop the chair, pick up the metal trash can, and smash it over the head of Mack Blackheart. This causes Blackheart to fall prone to the mat. Stevens then takes the lid of the metal trash can and lays it on the mat. He then grabs Mack and puts him into a piledriver position and drops him hard onto the metal lid of the trash can. Jason Stevens rolls Black Bone over and goes for the cover while firmly hooking his legs. Referee Simon Jones gets into position and goes for the count. ONE…TWO…THREE!!! Referee Jones calls for the bell and orders Jason Stevens to get off Blackheart which he does.

TEX: Well, I have to reluctantly admit that Jason Stevens managed to turn the tables on Mack Blackheart on this match. DUFF: I have to agree with you this time Tex.

STORMY CANYON: Here is the winner of this match, and the Number One Contender for the International Championship at the next Pay-per-View, JASON “THE SENSATION” STEVENSSSSS!!!!!

Great victory for Jason, but I sure would wonder what if Loki didnt come in to save him??

Referee Jones raises the hand of Jason Stevens in victory. He then drops his hand and Jason leaves the ring and heads toward the ramp to return to the backstage area, joining Marty McFarge along the way.


Winner: Jason Stevens

Erik Black walks into the arena wearing a black Armani suit and sun glasses. His Universal Title is thrown over his shoulder. He has a happy demeanor. Atleast that is until he finds Jade Green standing at the door of the arena waiting on him.

Jade: Hello Erik. Welcome to Insomnia. I have a few questions if you don’t mind. First of all. It’s hard to believe some of the things that Rex and yourself have said. Are they true? Did you two really do all of those things?

Erik smiles and nodds his head at the question.

Black: Every word, Jade. It’s hard to believe that Zero Tolerance could do all of those things. It’s all about power and money though Jade. Any judge will give a verdict in your favor and any cop will turn his back on what you’re doing for the right price. Of course there are those that want to be heroes, but those people are dealt with just like all the others. And I’ve really told you people time and time again. I’m growing tired of it. I am the bad people of this world, Jade.

Jade: Ok. That’s fair enough I guess, though I still don’t really believe it. Tonight you face Rex Butler for the fourth time. You are currently one and one against him in singles competition and one and two against him over all. How can you win tonight?

Black: Because I’m better than he is. It’s as simple as that, Jade. I’m the best wrestler this world has ever been. I’ve always been the best in whatever field I was in that day.. Whether it be in the business world.. Or my personal favorite…assassin…hitman. No one has ever been as good as me and they never will be. Tonight I’m going to go out there and I’m going to show Rex Butler that all the anger and rage in his soul will not save him. That isn’t the answer and it never will be. This business is about skill…skill and drive. Anger and rage doesn’t fit into that picture. Anger causes mistakes. Rex makes mistakes often. I don’t make them often, Jade. I’m the Universal Champion for a reason, Jade. Don’t ever forget that. Now..If you will excuse me, I have to stretch before my match tonight.

The shot turns to darkness as we go back to ringside


Rex Butler vs. Erik Black

Tex: The sequel that everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. Although it is not an Iron Man match, both individuals will have a chance to gain some leverage over the other once again.

Duff: Rex and Erik both have something to prove to each other and it's to see who is the better man this time around, Tex. I think Rex is putting everything out on the table just to call it even with Erik for a change.

Tex: No doubt, Duff, Rex is a man on a mission tonight, but Erik won the first clash not too long ago and he's hoping that history will repeat itself here tonight!

Duff: This is definitely going to be a tough match! Let's go to Stormy for all the introductions!

The camera then pans over to Stormy Canyon, who is currently standing in the middle of the ring, the crowd roaring in anticipation of the main event.

Stormy: This match is scheduled for one fall! Whoever emerges the winner tonight will get to decide what type of title match will happen at the upcoming pay-per-view! Introducing first, from Los Angeles, CA, weighing at 275 lbs, he is the Demonic One....REX BUTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

The opening guitar riff of "Hero" by Pop Evil begin to play as the lights in the arena go out. Strobe lights flash at different angles as the cymbal joins in with the guitar. After a second time the lights and music stop and the arena goes black for a second before screaming fills the arena and the music kicks back in as pyrotechnics shoot from the stage. Rex Butler walks through the curtains alone as he makes his way to the ring, completely ignoring the crowd at ringside. Rex enters through the ropes and stands in the center of the ring ,then turns around and faces the entrace ramp.

Tex: The intensity on Rex's face says it all. He's definitely ready to rumble and I don't think he's going to be holding back anything, Duff.

Duff: No kidding, Tex! Rex has been in a very angry mood lately and anyone who steps in the ring with him these days will wish they hadn't.

Tex: Not unless you're someone like Erik Black, who managed to defeat him within 60 minutes.

Duff: That goes to show that anything is possible within the AWA!

Stormy: Introducing his opponent, also from Los Angeles, CA, weighing at 225 lbs, he is the current AWA Universal champion......ERIK BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

e lights go out before white strobe lights kick on. "MMM I said the fish dont fry in the kitchen". and BOOM! Huge pyros go off. Out steps Erik Black. He has a black towel drapped over his head. He looks around to the crowd and then to the ring. he takes a deep breathe and slowly makes his way down to the ring. He never takes his eyes off of it. He is in full concentration. He slides under the bottom rope. He gets up and stands in the center of the ring. A smirk crosses his face but quickly fades. He takes the black towel off of his head and throws it into the crowd, then raises the title high, the reaction a mix of chants and boos from the crowd. Rex gets into Erik's face and the two men stare down each other, already eager to unleash the carnage that awaits both men. The referee tells them both to get into their corners, which they do so, then the referee signals for the bell and both men are now circling each other...

Tex: The match that everyone has been waiting for has now begun!

Duff: I don't know if I should watch or not, because this is going to be a nasty bout between the two men. Very nasty.battle. I can already see it! I might have to hold onto you Tex!

Tex: Will you just calm down and call the match with me please? You better be counting your lucky stars you ain't in the ring right now!

Duff: Trust me, I've been doing that since both men came out here!

The two men collide in a headlock before Rex's strength pushes Erik directly into the turnbuckle. Rex comes in with a clothsline, but Erik rolls out to the side and uses his feet to trip the big man onto the canvas, face first. Rex lands harshly and Erik quickly tries to go for a STFO manuever from behind, but Rex quickly grabs the bottom rope. Erik is forced to let go and backs off as Rex stands on his feet. The two men lock horns once more, only for Erik to grab Rex in a clutch, delivering a few knees into Rex's stomach, turning him this way and that before throwing him to the ground. Rex struggles to get up on his feet, but is struck down with brute force as Erik lands an improvised enziguri to the face of the Demonic One. He then picks him up and roughs him with an assault of punches before commencing with the Butterfly Effect. With Rex on the mat, in the center of the ring, Erik goes for the first pin in the match, but Rex gets his arm up at the count of two. Erik then wastes no time utlizing his Jujitsu experience with an armbar. Rex groans in pain, tries to grit his teeth, trying to keep it together. But Erik continues the pressure for a bit. Rex, however, manages to crawl over to the ropes, despite the oncoming pain, and manages to use his right hand to grab the bottom rope. The referee yells at Erik to let go, which he does. Erik then picks up Rex, but receives a surprising headbutt from Rex, literally coming out of nowhere. Erik clutches his face as Rex staggers back a bit, regaining his breath, along with the use of his arm. He then lands a jumping knee directly into Erik's abdomen, causing the champ to squirm in pain, his wind knocked out of him. But Rex isn't done yet, picking up the champ by the head and bringing him to his feet before getting some revenge back with a few sets of knees into the champ's stomach. Next, he twists his arm a bit, Erik screaming in pain. Then he spins him around only to unleash a devastating clothsline, the champ doing a 360 flip and landing on the canvas harshly. Rex then hits the ropes, comes back, and hits a jumping legdrop into his opponent's chest before hooking the leg, his first pin attempt. But Erik kicks out at the count of two. Rex gets back on his feet, then kicks his opponent down to the mat a few times like a wounded dog on the street before picking him up, pinning him on his shoulders. As Rex charges forward with a powerslam in mind, Erik struggles furiously to get out and eventually does slip out of the hold. Rex realizes what happened, but not enough time to react as Erik goes for a chop block to the back of the knee. Rex is now on one knee as the champion hits the ropes, then unleashes a flipping neckbreaker. Rex holds his neck in pain, but screams seconds later as Erik gets his arm around Rex's throat and squeezes the life out of him.

Tex: Rex is in trouble! If he doesn't get out of that hold soon, it may be over!

Duff: Erik wants this match to end quickly, but I don't think it's gonna happen at all!

Rex eventually gets up under his own power, Erik still trying to hold on, but is now on the back of the big man. Rex staggers backward into the upper-left turnbuckle, Erik's back colliding with the turnbuckle. He grimaces in pain, yet manages to hold on. Rex tries again, with more force, and it worked, Erik quickly letting go. Rex quickly whips around and delivers a boot to the face, sending Erik back into the turnbuckle once more. He assaults the current Universal champion with a flurry of punches to both the face and stomach, unleashing his rage further. Erik is stunned by the assault, but regains his senses in time as Rex steps back, then charges forward, intending to crush him with a body splash. But Erik jumps in the air, using the turnbuckle ropes, kicking Rex in the face. The big man staggers back, holding his face, shaking his head back and forth, as the champion jumps onto the top. Rex turns around and Erik leaps into the air, catching Rex in mid-air with a DDT! But wait, he applies pressure around Rex's head with a choke submission once more. But Rex lifts Erik into the air and executes an atomic drop. Erik stumbles around the ring, pain shooting up his left leg. WIth no time to recover, Erik is hoisted into the air by Rex, who gets into the upper-right corner of the ring before slamming down the champion with a powerslam that does connect this time! The second pin attempt from Rex happens, but Erik refuses to give up, getting the shoulder up at the count of two. He picks up the champion and hurls him to the ropes, then goes for a quick clothsline. But the champ ducked underneath it, grabbed Rex by the waist from behind, and went for a german bridging suplex! Erik's second pin attempt is made, but Rex also refuses to give in, rolling backwards and out of the pin. Both men are on their feet and Erik goes for a low dropkick, sending the big man onto one knee once again. Erik hits the ropes, hoping for another success with the flipping neckbreaker, but Rex is able to counter it by grabbing Erik in mid-air, executing a snapmare! He then links it with a choke from behind! Erik is trying to fight it, but the big man is putting in more pressure, tightening the hold even further. Erik struggles wildly for a few more minutes, then gets on his knees, apparently out cold. The referee raises his arm up the first time - nothing happens. He raises the arm for the second time - nothing once more. But on the third time, Erik's arm stays up! The crowd is going nuts for both men as Erik slowly, but surely gets back on his feet, then he elbows the big man hard three times. Rex is forced to let go, but pushes away Erik to give himself space. Then he goes for a big boot, but Erik sees it in time, rolls to the other side. Rex turns around around and becomes the victim of a diamond cutter! Both men are down, breathing harshly from the battle, exhaustation taking over both men. The referee stands between the two of them and starts to count them down...

Duff: Oh my! Both men are down right now! Both men are fighting a fierce war against each other! Man, what a battle!

Tex: Ok, Duff, first you didn't want to see the match and now you do? Make up your mind! Man, Duff, sometimes I worry about you!

The referee joins the crowd as they count both men out. But around the eight mark, both men finally get on their feet. Erik takes the initative quickly, leaping high in the air and landing a dropkick, causing enough force to send Rex into the ropes. Then the champ follows it up further with a flying clothsline, sending Rex out of the ring! The crowd gasps in amazement as Rex lands on the concrete floor outside, stunned by Erik's power. But he brushes it off and slowly gets up as Erik hits the ropes on the other side. Then the champ returns and does a flip, hoping to catch Rex off guard with a quick Frankensteiner! But Rex is able to grab the champion in mid-air and execute a spinebuster, slamming the champion directly onto the top of the steel steps! The crowd gasps once more as Erik cries out in pain, arching his back as he rolls off the steps and lays on the ground. Rex catches his breath, thinking about someone in his mind. Then he sneers with anger as he picks up the helpless, battered champion and knees him a few times. As the referee gets to the count of five, Rex then tries to whip the champion into the post nearby, but Erik reverses it and Rex ends up taking the brunt of the damage. Both men are down once again. But by the count of nine, somehow, someway, both men get into the ring, as they rolled into the ring, trying to regain their strength. Eventually, both men are on their feet. Erik, seeing Rex leaning onto the lower-left turnbuckle ropes, goes for a sliding kick, hoping to injure his knee. But Rex saw it coming and stepped out of the way, Erik's groin hitting the pole. Erik clutches his jewels in pain, but gets no rest as Rex steps out of the ring and pulls the champ closer to the post. Then he takes one leg and swings it hard into the pole! Erik is screaming in pain, but Rex reels him in once more, this time grabbing the other leg and repeating the same move. Erik, feeling the intense pain rushing up to his legs, wisely rolls out of the post as Rex grins in satisfaction. He climbs up on the apron, steps through the ropes, laughing manically, seeing Erik ingured. He then picks up the champion, intending to go for a chokeslam! But wait a minute! Erik grabs Rex's holding arm with both legs and then twists himself around, forcing Rex to foll forward and land on his back! Another armbar submission is applied! It is now Rex's turn to scream in pain, Erik's face a twist of anger and rage now, trying to injure Rex's arm for what he did to his legs. The referee is asking Rex on whether he or not he should get up, but Rex stubbornly refuses to give in, shaking his head. Erik then kicks Rex in the ribs and then pushes him away with his two feet before slowly getting back on his feet. He then picks up the Demonic One, slapping away at his chest before throwing him to the other side. But Rex's strength is too much handle, throws him to the ropes instead. When Erik returns, Rex goes for yet another spinebuster! But Erik was just too quick, going for a triangle choke! Rex feels his breath slipping away as the champ tightens his hold further. But Rex isn't one to quit, not now, not ever, as he manages to get a few powerbombs in. But Erik isn't giving up either, continuing to hold the choke. Eventually, both men feel powered out, and Rex gets in one last powerslam before Erik tries to get the last word in by squeezing the triangle choke hold a bit further. But both men let go and collpase, breathing harshly, once again down on the mat.

Duff: Both men are willing to go as far as to kill each other - just to decide what match they can have for the Universal title!

Tex: This is unquestionably one of the most brutal matches I've seen since I've been annoucing here. What a fight!

By the the time of count of eight was spoken, by both the referee and the audience, both men are on their feet, but are completely exhausted. Yet both refuse to give in, each of them exchanging some stiff fists towards the other. Erik grabs Rex in a tight clutch hold now, kneeing his foe a few times. Eventually, Erik pushes Rex through the ropes, then lets go and tries to send Rex to the other side. Yet, once more does Rex's strength get in the way, and he reverses the move, throwing the champ to the ropes instead. But what Rex didn't see was a spinning, jumping elbow that connects directly to Rex's face! The camera zooms in and the audience gasps, seeing blood dripping down Rex's nose - his nose is broken! Rex screams in rage, but is unable to do anything as the Jujitsu master applies a northern light suplex, executing the move gracefully before rolling over the opponent's body and locking in another armbar. Blood is now drawn, hitting the canvas floor as Rex crawls backwards and manages to gain another hold of the bottom rope. As the referee forces Erik to let go, Rex is unsure where he is, but tries his best to ignore the bloody nose and how broken it is. Erik kips up to his feet, thinking that he now has where he wants Rex to be, smiling with satisfaction, thinking that he is simply the best. But the smile now fades completely and instinct takes over. As Rex sits on the floor, he looks up in time to see Erik pull a tornado kick, connecting with Rex's face, forcing hte Demonic One to roll on the ground. Erik picks up the big man by the leg, drags him back, and goes for an ankle lock. But Rex won't have any of it, using both feet to push the smaller man away, Erik rolling backward and lands on his feet. Not happy with what just happened, Erik goes for a flying clothsline, hoping it will strike to the back of his head. An unwise move on his part, as Rex sees the move, out of the corner of his eye, and lands a devastating elbow smash into Erik's face! Erik roars out in rage and we see something new coming out of his forehead - blood! Rex goes for the pin while he's down, but Erik kicks out at the count of two! Rex looks at the ref, unhappy with the count, as he thought it was slow, but the referee thought otherwise. As the Demonic One stalks the ref, he also made an unwise decision, turning his back onto the champ, who got behind him and rolled him up in a package! But at the count of two, Rex reversed the move and got his own package pin! But Erik also kicked out at the count of two and both of them quickly rolled away from each other, landing on their feet and rising slowly. Both men look at each other, completely spent and exhausted, thinking what will it take to overcome the other. Suddenly, with blinding speed, Erik rushes forward, getting Rex in another clutch, Rex unable to act quickly in time, hitting him with a few knees before hitting a rolling neckbreaker! The crowd is going nuts as Erik quickly reaches the top rope, then looks at Rex with a wide ass grin and then leaps into the air with a shootingstar legdrop! However, within the last few seconds before he lands, Rex rolls out of the way in time, Erik catching nothing but the mat! Erik screams in agony, the pain shooting up his leg once more, as he clutches it. Rex sits up with a angry look on his face, then gets up and waits for Erik to get on his feet. The champion does so, but Rex picks him up in time for the WICKED SENSATION! But Erik struggles to get out of the move, then goes into a DDT. But wait! Rex counters the move with a rolling package, another pin attempt made, but the ref is only able to count at two! Both men get up on their feet, Erik going for a body splash, but is caught in mid-air by Rex, spinebuster connects! Then Rex surprises the crowd by connecting with a figure-four leglock! Erik is screaming in pain, desperately trying to get out of the move, the referee asking him if he wishes to give up. Erik is trying not to at all, doing anything he can to get out. But Rex wants none of it, squeezing the hold tighter and tighter! Finally, Erik could take no more and he taps the mat many times before Rex lets go, the referee calling for the bell!

Stormy: Here is your winner - REX BUTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tex: OH MY GOD! That was one of the most intense fights I've ever seen! The champion thought that he had the match won once again, but Rex surprised him!

Duff: This is an amazing main event! Both men gave it everything they got and believe me, this epic rivalry between the two is far from over!

Tex: You're damn right! It is now 1-1. Both men are even and they will have to fight each other again, only this time Rex walks away with major leverage of his own! How will Erik react to the type of title match that Rex will be getting? What will Rex have in mind? Stay tuned next week!

The camera pans from the two announcers over to the ring once more, both of them completely spent, Erik crying out as Rex gets up on his feet. Blood drips from both men as the referee raises Rex's arm in victory, who merely grins at the destruction that he caused. He then exits the ring by jumping over the ropes and walking up the ramp and looking at Erik Black with a serious, intense look as Erik slowly rises up to his feet and staring straight ahead at Rex with a mix of anger and rage in his eyes as the cameras slowly fade to black....


Winner: Rex Butler
