The scene opens backstage where a long black limousine pulls up. The driver door opens and a young, distinguished man steps out and walks to the back door, and promptly opens it. Out steps Goth, and his wife Sapphira. They both are seen walking away, before Goth turns to the driver.
Goth: Stay parked here. I may need to leave early.
Driver: Yes Sir.
The scene switches back to the ring.
The AWA teletrons start to show pictures of cracked mirrors and long alley ways that say Who is Enigma and Cerebral Anarchist and even Mr. Nobody. The images keep playing but then a picture of the head of the wrestler known as Enigma. He is no longer at the stadium but in some unknown locatioin.
Enigma: HELLO GOTHAM! I always wanted to say that. Now pay attention AWA! Pay attention Goth and John Irons! You negligence of me has come for you both to pay the consequences. It is time that the Cerebral Anarchist to strike.
The audience watches so do Tex and Duff wondering what is going on with the self proclaimed madman of the AWA.
Enigma: Wrestle Quest is next week and still Gothling and Irons are too concerned with their needs for control that they have ignored me like some sort of annoying cockroach! A nousance that they can ignore! Well. While they have been so busy trying to beat each other up tonight. I have a little treat for them! Gothling and Irons and this captive audience please look over at the monitor.
There in an empty lot behind Enigma is a black Ford truck with the American license vanity plates that say Irons#1. Enigma waves at the camera before pointing to the truck.
Enigma: You see down below that black Ford truck? Well that happens to be Irons’s truck. While he has been preparing for his match I took the liberty of placing his vehicle in a new place. I have always wondered what they mean in their commercials that their trucks are Ford Tough. What does that mean? Well tonight we are going to be answering that question.
Enigma points up to the sky showing the twisted obvious custom designed limousine of the AWA other owner Goth handing on a magnetic crane. Enigma shows in his hand a big red button attached to a long cable.
Enigma: Take a look up there Gothling, the so-called Gothfather. That Limo hanging from that magnetic crane looks familiar it should. It’s yours. Don’t worry your limo driver/bodyguard is safe somewhere but I tend for forget where I put people. Well Gothling, well Irons have you ever wondered what would happen if a limo would be dropped on a Ford truck what would happen? Just like your match! A limo and a Ford truck facing each other in the ring! What will happen? Who will win the match? All I have to do is click this button to find out! So let’s see shall we?!
Enigma presses the button letting go of the Goth limo it falls down crashing to the truck causing a huge explosion. The Cerebral Anarchist jumps with the explosion watching as the metal and fire leave a giant fireball in its wake.
Enigma: That was cool! Well it just shows us both as you face each other tonight you will be destroying yourselves in the process. Oh happy me! The inmates will be released and you both will be too mangled to stop us!
Enigma laughs hard as the AWA teletron goes black.
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our special confrontation!!!
The fans react to the announcement as the music from the first man starts to hit
Stormy Canyon: The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 7'5 and weighing in at 375 pounds!! Hailing near Des Moines, Iowa!! The Career Ender!!! John Irons!!!
Tex Martin: Now this is interesting, John Irons is currently trying to convince everyone that he is running the show against the owner of the company
Duff Travers: It will be a long night before John Irons owns anything... Except for a big time beating he's going to receive at the hands of Goth!!!
The entire arena goes dark. There is a faint light coming from the Tron, however the only thing on screen is a haze of black, red and gold smoke. Lightning hits the Tron and all four ringposts as "I Stand Alone" By Godsmack plays. John Irons is seen walking out to the rampway entrance, wearing a black leather jacket, a white tank top, and his Oakleys with his usual blue jeans and boots. He stands there for a moment as there is a loud explosion behind him. Gold sparks begin to rain down the entry way as John begins his decent to the ring. As John gets to the ring he hops up and over the top rope with ease and makes his way to a turnbuckle where he raises a fist into the air for a moment before slowly bringing both arms out in front of him flexing. He stays in the position for a moment before he takes off his jacket and Oakleys and, nodding his head. He then looks towards the Globatron, awaiting for the arrival of his opponent, with a fierce intensity in his eyes
Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 239 pounds!! Hailing from Utrecht, The Netherlands!!!!!
The crowd erupts as they hear it is a homeboy coming out to the ring
Stormy Canyon: GOTH!!!!!!!!!!!
The Golden Age of Grotesque blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out to the ring, he is dressed in a long black Goth like robes. He is followed to the ring by Sapphira, who is wearing her usual goth dress. Goth stops halfway the entrance way and stares at the crowd who are booing the owner of the AWA who grins and walks further on. In the ring he lets Sapphira take off his robe and he stares down his opponent in the ring
Tex Martin: He gives up size and weight and power, but we all have seen wage war against much larger athletes before and win. But can he do it now?
Duff Travers: I suggest you sit and enjoy.
The bell rings and the two men walk towards each other and Irons starts to mock Goth as he asks him where his goons are. But Goth just shakes it off before delivering a surprising slap across the face of Irons that causes the Dutch fans to cheer their fellow country man on. But that doesnt stop Irons as he retalliates with a big time knee in the midsection of the owner of the AWA and then whips him in the ropes before knocking Goth down with a big foot to the face. Irons turns around and starts to taunt the fans who are now booing the man that wishes to take over the company from Goth. Irons grabs Goth by the hair and lifts him up and goes for a big time Body Slam and slams the owner down to the canvas before going for the cover.
Tex Martin: One!! Two!!
Goth kicks out at the attempt as Irons grabs him by the head and wraps his massive arm around his throat and puts him in a reversed chinlock. Goth tries to get the grip from his opponent to be loosened but is unable to. He slowly manages to get to his feet and starts to deliver several elbows in the midsection of Irons that causes him to free from the grip and then runs to the ropes and ducks a big boot from Irons before stopping in his tracks and delivers a big time chopblock after turning around quickly. The fans cheer Goth on as he gets to his feet and starts to deliver big time boots to the leg of Irons and then grabs the leg and puts it on the bottom rope and jumps in the air before coming down crashing hard on the leg of Irons.
Duff Travers: See!! That's the Goth that is going to kick Irons his ass!!!
Goth goes for another attempt and again finds the painful leg. He slides out of the ring and then pulls the leg towards the steel ring post as he wants to slam it against the unforgiving steel. But this time it is Irons that catches him by surprise and pulls his leg backwards what causes Goth to hit the steel ringpost. Goth staggers backwards against the security railing as we see Irons slide out of the ring and stumble towards Goth and starts to deliver huge right hands to the head of Goth before delivering some big time knive edge chops to the chest of Goth.
Tex Martin: Irons is really showing why he feels that he is the better wrestler of the two.
Irons grabs Goth by the head and whips him in the ring and delivers a big elbow on the chest of Goth as he has his chest over the ring apron. Goth slowly crawls towards the ropes as Irons is mocking him to get up. He awaits the moment that Goth gets to his feet and as Goth turns around it is Irons that charges in for a running clothesline. But it is Goth that ducks and delivers a dropkick to the knee joint of Irons as he comes back from the ropes. Goth then quickly gets behind Irons and locks him in his patented submission hold
Duff Travers: Gothic Dream!!!!!
Goth has his finisher locked and is about to drop down on the canvas to lock his legs around the midsection of Irons. But before he can do that it is Rex Butler that comes down the ring with a chair and slides in the ring. He stands behind Goth and blasts the chair across his back as the referee calls for the bell
Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match by disqualification.... Goth!!!
Rex stands over the fallen Goth as he lifts his arm in the air as a signal towardst he owner of the company before sliding out of the ring as the fans boo the International Champion.
Tex Martin: I think that's what you get if you screw a wrestler in recent weeks!!!
The camera zooms in on Rex Butler as he is heading to the back with a big smile on his face.
Stormy Canyon: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is under the time limit rules!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6'0 and weighs in at 250 pounds!! Hailing from New York City, New York!!! Altavius King!!!
Royal fanfare is heard, as King walks out. Just as King can be seen waving to the crowd, "Better than You" by metallica hits the PA. King struts down to the ring, ignoring people and trying to focus all the attention to himself before hopping into the ring
Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6'0 and the rest of his personal information is unknown to us. He resides in Detroit, Michigan!!! Enigma!!!!
The theme song The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning hits the speakers as the Enigma walks out to see the crowd who both cheer and hate the Enigma. Enigma walks towards the ring as some people toss things ignoring all distractions arriving to the ring very calmly.
Tex Martin: The Mr. Nobody against a nobody?
Duff Travers: Whatever man, I just want to see those pies again!!!
The bell rings as the match starts off King takes an early advantage over his opponent as he has kicked him in the knee and then locks him in a standing sideheadlock. Shouting to the fans as if he has got the mysterious opponent beat as he holds him in a standing sideheadlock. But suddenly it gets countered by Enigma as he he wrapped his arms around the waist of King and executes a standing side suplex that causes King to let go off the hold due to the impact of the blow. King holds on to his head as in the replay of the move we can see his head bouncing on the canvas..
Tex Martin: Damn, that was a sick blow to the head!!!
King holds on to his head as Enigma takes advantage and delivers several fistdrops to the head before running to the ropes and comes off with a basebal slide against the head of his opponent before going for the cover. But Engima only gets a count of two. Enigma then grabs King by the head and goes for his patented finisher.
Duff Travers: The Face of Justice!!!!
Enigma hits the move on King and then goes for the cover, the referee goes for the three count and calls for the bell.
Tex Martin: Enigma got the win in this one!! King needs to go back to the drawing board as he thinks he can have a future in this company!!!
Enigma slides out of the ring and heads to the back
The scene opens up backstage at Monday Night Insomnia, Jason and Marty are walking backstage talking amongst themselves with about a dozen muscular men walking with them, obviously bodyguards.
Texx: Wow, Marty’s really treating Jason like a celebrity!
Duff: That’s because he is a celebrity, didn’t you see him as the passerby in the CSI: New York Season Finale!?
Texx: Err, no I was enjoying the plot too much, thank you very much!
Foxxy Dreams walks up to Marty and Jason but two bodyguards stop her in her path, Jason pushes his way through telling them that she booked the interview through Marty.
FD: Never thought I’d say this but thanks Jason, anyway I want to get your opinions on both your match tonight with Fang and your submission match with Chris Shipman next week at Wrestle Quest.
Jason grins.
JS: You want my opinions, you got them! Kings Templar’s the best stable today, I’m the greatest wrestler alive and Chris Shipman competing in a SUBMISSION MATCH is like Satan trying to get the job that St. Peter has, it just doesn’t fit!
Marty steps through the guards and laughs with Jason as they exchange a high five.
JS: Seriously though, Fang one must ask where the hell have you been all week? But I couldn’t care less what you where doing instead of putting up a promo so I’ll just say this, your one promo wasn’t enough to save you from my wrath Fang and with Marty and Carry at my side victory will be mine.
Jason says with a grin.
JS: As for you Shipman, next week you’ll be in an environment that forces you to abandon your natural instincts and actually wrestle, yeah I never thought I’d use the words “Shipman” and “Wrestle” in the same sentence without being sarcastic but what can you do? You, like Fang will be beaten, that’s my personal guarantee!
Marty, Jason and the guards leave as the scene goes to ringside.
The howl of a wolf is heard over the speakers in the arena as the lights dim low. Werewolves of London hits the speakers as a shower of white pyros come from the entrance area. Fang comes out through the backstage curtains wearing his wrestling attire, consisting of a white T-shirt, black jeans, and black wrestling boots. He makes his way down to the ring and then makes a complete walk around the ring before sliding into the ring to await the arrival of Jason Stevens.
STORMY CANYON: Here is our first participant in this Standard Rules match, from Long Pond, Pennsylvania, at 6 feet even and 220 pounds it is JONATHAN “FANG” PORTER!!!!!
TEX: Well, Duff, here we are again with Fang going up against some pathetic little wrestler like Jason Stevens. If you want to talk about a squash match this is going to be one big squash of Fang over Stevens.
DUFF: Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. Jason Stevens is a very accomplished wrestler. He just had more than his share of tough matches with tough opponents. I see him getting an easy victory over Fang tonight.
The fans give Fang a mixed reaction after Stormy Canyon announced his name. The crowd quickly quiets down as HALO by Machine Head hits the speakers. As soon as Rob Flynn starts the opening verse Jason Stevens emerges from the backstage area, with his Sister, Carry and his Manager, Marty McFarge, walk behind him. Stevens walks down the ramp to the ring and as Jason enters the ring, both Carry and Marty take chairs at ringside to await the start of the match.
TEX: Oh this is true nonsense Duff! Stevens needs TWO assistants at ringside to interfere in the match to benefit him? How pathetic is that?
DUFF: Carry is his sister and she has always attended him to ringside. And recently he added Marty to his staff as Manager and with him carrying a Manager License he has every legal right to be at ringside to attend to his wrestler.
STORMY CANYON: Here is our next participant, from Las Vegas, Nevada, standing in at 5 feet 7 inches and weighing 175 pounds, it is JASON “THE SENSATION” STEVENS!!!!!
The crowd also gives Jason Stevens a mixed reaction as Referee “Chocolate” Chip Long waddles his fat butt to the middle of the ring and calls the two wrestlers to him for pre-match instructions.
TEX: Oh, great, here we have two wrestlers who are probably the two quickest wrestlers in Asylum Wrestling Alliance and they assign Chip Long who is probably the fattest and slowest Referee the wrestling world has ever known!
DUFF: Stop the bitching Tex! You are just going to try to use that as an excuse when Fang loses. You know damn well that Chip Long, although fat and slow, is one of the best Referees in the business and damn sure the best Referee here in Asylum Wrestling Alliance.
The two wrestlers lock up and they get into a test of strength to see who can get the upper hand. With a bit of a height and weight advantage Fang starts to muscle Jason back toward a corner. He is about to push Stevens into the corner when Jason drops to the mat, crawls through the legs of Fang, flips over and reaches up and puts his arms around the waist of Fang and pulls him backward and into a pinning combination. Referee Long waddles over and starts the count on the pinfall. ONE…TWO… and Jonathan Porter gets a shoulder up to break the count much to the displeasure of Jason Stevens who thought he had the match there.
TEX: Did you see that? Stevens grabbed the wrestling trunks of Fang and pulled him down! That is illegal to hold on to the wrestling trunks like that!
DUFF: I think it is time for you to go see your eye doctor and get a pair of glasses Tex! Stevens was holding Fang around the waist and did not have a grip on his wrestling trunks at all.
Fang is complaining to the Referee about a grab of the wrestling trunks but Jason Stevens is totally denying it. Referee Long gives Stevens a side look and informs him that he will be watching him closely to ensure nothing illegal takes place. Stevens shrugs off the Referee since he knows he didn’t do anything wrong and he turns and approaches Fang again. The two again lock up and Fang quickly gets out of the lock up and places Jason into a side headlock. He cinches up on the headlock but Stevens shoves him off and Fang hits the ropes and Stevens catches him with a hip toss on the rebound. Jason waits for Fang to get to his feet and he lands a drop kick to the face of Porter. Fang quickly rolls out of the ring to break the momentum of Jason Stevens.
TEX: Now there is the mark of a true professional. Knowing when to get out of the ring to shake up your opponent and slow him down is a talent.
DUFF: Talent…schmalent! It is a wimp move when a wrestler is getting the snot slapped out of him that he runs out of the ring to break his opponent’s momentum. There is nothing strategic about running away.
Referee Long begins the count out on Fang on the outside of the ring. ONE… Fang continues to walk around the ring to allow Stevens to cool off. TWO…Porter rounds the corner of the ring to the side of the ring where Carry and Marty are located. THREE… Stevens runs to the ropes to taunt Porter and Referee Long steps in and pushes him back and this interruption also breaks the Referee’s count. While the Referee is admonishing Stevens for breaking the count we watch as Marty jumps up and whacks Fang over the head with his folding chair. Marty quickly sets up his chair and sits back down before Referee Long can turn around. Long has no clue what happened but he sees Fang lying on the arena floor and he picks up the count again. ONE… This time Stevens holds back so as not to break the count. TWO… Jonathan Porter is stirring a little bit. THREE… Fang is up to his knees. FOUR… Fang crawls over to the ring and pulls himself up on the ring apron. FIVE… Stevens is still holding back as Porter rolls under the bottom rope to break the count at FIVE.
TEX: Okay, that should be it with Referee Long! He is allowing Stevens to get away with every cheap shot in the book! Fang is going to get really upset and slam dunk Jason now!
DUFF: What in the world are you talking about? Marty saw Fang coming toward him and he thought he might stagger and trip and fall on top of him so he got up out of his chair and tried to move the chair out of the way. It just happened that the instant Marty picked up his chair that Porter stumbled into him and inadvertently hit his head on the chair. Stop making stuff up!
Fang gets to his feet and he gets into the face of Referee Chip Long. He is informing Long that Marty and Carry are getting physically involved in the match and that Jason Stevens should be disqualified. Long informs Porter that he cannot disqualify a wrestler unless he sees the offense on his own. He asks that Fang get back into the match with Stevens and he promises to keep a closer watch on things. Fang turns away from Referee Long to get back to the match with Jason. As he approaches Stevens, Jason drops to the mat to attempt a leg sweep but Fang saw it coming. He jumps out of the way and while Jason is still on the mat, Porter drops a knee hard onto the leg of Stevens causing Jason to hold onto his knee and groan out in pain. Fang, seeing his opening after the knee shot, drops another knee to the leg of Stevens. Fang drags Stevens to his feet and then sweep kicks him in the hurt leg and drops him to the mat. Fang drops on top of Jason Stevens for the pin as Referee Long drops for the count. ONE…TWO… and Stevens manages to get a shoulder up to break the count.
TEX: Damn! If Referee Long wouldn’t count so slowly Fang would have won the match right there.
DUFF: Referee Long has been counting the same for both wrestlers so stop trying to find excuses for why Fang is losing this match.
Fang is quite surprised he didn’t get the victory just then. He gets to his feet as does Jason Stevens. We can see that Stevens is not able to put his full weight on his injured leg yet. Fang backs Stevens into the corner then grabs him by the arm and whips him across the ring into the opposite corner. Fang quickly follows Jason into the corner with an elbow to the jaw. Fang again grabs the arm or Stevens to whip him into the opposite corner again, but Stevens manages to reverse it and he instead whips Fang hard into the corner. Porter hits the corner turnbuckles hard as Stevens goes for the follow-up with a shoulder block to the midsection. This totally knocks the wind out of Porter as he doubles over from the blow. While Fang is doubled over Jason locks him into a DDT and drops Fang hard to the mat. Not satisfied with only the shoulder block and the DDT, Stevens drags Fang to his feet and picks him up for a power slam. Stevens then leaps up on the corner ropes and dives off the ropes landing a head butt to the chest of Fang. Porter is coughing and sputtering and gasping for air as Jason Stevens goes for the pin and hooks both the legs. Referee Chip Long drops for the count. ONE…TWO…THREE!!! This match is over and Referee Long asks Jason Stevens to get up off Fang and he does. Marty and Carry run into the ring to congratulate Jason on his victory.
TEX: Damn! Once again it came down to one missed maneuver which the opponent was able to take advantage of.
DUFF: I tried to tell you that Jason Stevens is not an easy wrestler to get over on but you didn’t want to listen to me.
STORMY CANYON: Here is your winner, by pinfall, JASON “THE SENSATION” STEVENSSSSS!!!!!
Referee Long raises the hand of Jason Stevens in victory as the crowd once again goes into a mixed reaction over his victory. Long releases the hand of Jason who walks over and checks on the status of Fang. He is satisfied that Fang is okay and the two shake hands and then Jason Stevens, Carry, and Marty leave the ring and head up the ramp to return to the backstage area.
The scene switches to an office where Goth can be seen going over some paper work when the lights begin to flicker. He looks up for a moment, disturbed, then turns back to his paperwork. The lights go out, and rustling is heard. A loud 'THUD' is heard, then silence. A moment later the lights come back on, and Goth can be seen unconsious at his desk, with a small trickle of blood pooling on his desk.
Tex: Dear Gawd! Whoever did that will pay dearly!
Duff: He had it coming anyways.
Tex: How can you say that? Whoever knocked out the owner will have hell to pay, rest assured!
The camera switches to Stormy who is in the ring.
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 for competition.
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit, introducing first from South Wales, UK weighing in at 265ibs and representing The Kings Templar this is “The Monster” CHAOS!
Chaos smiles as he here’s his name but he soon regains focus as “Man That Your Fear” by Marrylin Manson blares over the PA system, Chris Shipman steps out glaring at the monster all the long, Stormy doesn’t even get a chance to raise the microphone to her lips let alone introduce Shipman as Chaos leaves the ring and charges up the ramp catching Shipman by surprise with a MASIIVE clothesline and starts putting the boots to him.
Texx: Chaos is not wasting anytime tonight, he knows that Shipman is out for revenge and he wants to make sure he doesn’t get it.
Duff: Thank you Texx, it’s obvious why you won the “State the Fucking obvious” competition in a landslide!
Shipman however catches a boot and sweeps the leg not suspended in mid air knocking the big man down and giving Shipman a chance to regroup from the ambush, realizing that the match hasn’t officially started yet Shipman grins, quickly jogs down the ramp and grabs a steel chair, which he proceeds to repeatably whack himself with busting HIMSELF wide open.
Texx: Did Shipman just bust himself open?
Duff: Why not, the match won’t start until both men are in the ring!
Shipman grins evilly with the blood covering his face as the parents at ringside cover the eyes of there children as Shipman runs back up the ramp where Chaos is still out cold, Shipman raises his chair up but it’s caught by….Marty McFarge?!
Texx: What the…since when was Marty affiliated with Chaos?
Duff: Well his client Jason is also in the Kings Templar so he’s a member by affiliation with his client.
Marty struggles to get the chair from Shipman’s hands but all he gets is a need for a fresh pair of underwear as Shipman turns around looking like Marty just insulted his mother on the day off her funeral but thankfully for Marty (but unfortunately for the rest of the world) Chaos is up and cheap shots Shipman from behind and Marty runs to the backstage area.
Texx: I hope for his sakes he brought another set of underwear.
Chaos drags Shipman down the ramp and rolls him back into the ring and follows him in as the referee FINALLY rings the bell. Chaos put some more boots to Shipman, picks him up and bodyslams him down, bounces of the ropes and delivers an elbow drop, then another, and another, on the third one Chaos keeps his position making a pin attempt 1…2….Shipman kicks out, or rather fights out by punching him in the head.
Texx: Shipman has been showing why they call him “The Psycho” thus far in this match.
Chaos rolls away clutching his head whilst Shipman recuperates, both men pick themselves up using the ring ropes at the same time and Chaos is the first to charge due to the fact that he is not busted open but Shipman acts quickly by dropping down dragging the ring rope with him sending the monster flying over the top rope and to the floor, Shipman runs his hand through his bloodied hair and looks out towards Chaos who is back on his feet thanks to assistance from the ring apron, Shipman bounces of the opposite ropes and hits a baseball slide onto Chaos sending him into the guard rail, Shipman follows him to the outside and gives him a single chop that sends a “WHOOO” through the arena.
Texx: I thought Chris’s surname was Shipman, not Flair!
Chaos clutches his chest in pain and Shipman rolls him back into the ring and picks him up, he whips Chaos across the ring but Chaos reverses sending Shipman right into the referee knocking him out for a few minutes, Shipman doesn’t seem to notice that he has just accidently committed assault and turns around….right into a low blow from Chaos.
Texx: The ref is out and Chaos is about to have his way with Shipman.
Duff; Do you have any idea how many minds you just scarred with that mental image? Like mine for example!
Whilst the viewers at home shudder at that mental image the action continues as Chaos picks up another steel chair and rolls into the ring, he takes a few moments to taunt the fans at home (and Rex Butler) but he takes to long and Shipman is back up and when he turns around the chair is Superkicked into his head.
Texx: Well, that backfired!
A close-up of Chaos’s head reveals that he has busted open by the move though the bleeding isn’t as severe as Shipman’s but then again Shipman’s been bleeding for a good few minutes now, Shipman wipes away some of the blood and goes for a cover but the referee is still out. Getting up Shipman walks over to the ref’s prone form and attempts to wake him up it’s successful though the ref is barely conscious and, after he swiftly disposes of the chair Shipman goes for another cover 1…2….kickout by Chaos.
Texx: Most men would’ve had there brains scrambled by having a chair kicked into his head.
Duff: Yeah but Chaos isn’t most men!
Shipman just shakes off the frustration at not being able to pin Chaos and gets up dragging Chaos with him, he drags Chaos to the corner and puts him on the top turnbuckle, he yells at the fans that the end is coming and ascends the turnbuckle himself setting Chaos up for the Top Rope Jackhammer.
Texx: Shipman is looking to end this….WHAT THE HELL!!!
Jason Stevens, Shipman’s opponent at Wrestle Quest, slides into the ring wielding the chair that Shipman almost used earlier, the ref tries to stop Jason but eats steel chair instead and Jason sprints across the ring and hits Shipman in the back of the head with the chair, the bell rings signifying that Chaos has been disqualified but it’s clear that Jason couldn’t care less, Marty McFarge is back at ringside with a massive grin on his face.
Texx: That slimy bastard, Jason doesn’t want to face Shipman at full strength so instead he wants to weaken him.
Chaos gets up and looks at Jason confused, Jason gives him the “nothing personal, just business” look and Chaos nods in understanding and leaves, but not before sliding the other steel chair that was used in this match into the ring and heads up the ramp, Jason motions for Marty to get into the ring and, after some hesitation Marty gets in and Jason gives him the second chair, grinning, Marty waits with Jason for Chris to get up and when he does BOOM! Con Chair Too from Marty and Jason, Jason grabs a camera and says the following.
JS: You see this? DO YOU SEE THIS!? This is a message for everyone in the back and Shitman here in the ring, Shitman next week at Wrestle Quest I will make you tap out so quickly you might get in the next Guinness World Records book but don’t take my word for it, I’ll show you right now, as for the rest of the roster, well the ones not in King’s Templar, watch closely.
Jason lets go off the camera and locks in the Sen-TF, the Mexican Surfboard STF, Marty is screaming with joy as he watches Shipman struggle in the submission hold and taunts Shipman.
Texx: This is heinous, diabolical! How can Shipman compete in next week’s submission match?
Duff: He’ll find a way, remember this is Chris Shipman we’re talking about!
Jason eventually lets go with a wide grin on his face, yelling “see you at Wrestle Quest” at Shipman “Halo” begins to play and Marty and Jason leave.
The scene opens backstage where Goth can be seen with a bandage over his head. He is being helped towards a new limo, when they notice it's jacked up in the back and is slowly being pulled away by a tow truck. Goth stares in disbelief for a second before trying to find out where his driver went.
Goth: HEY! That's MY ride! Hey! HEY!
Just as Goth is about to run to his limo, he is struck from behind by a sledgehammer in the same spot he was bleeding from earlier. The camera pans back and we see John Irons holding the sledge and a snarl on his face. Goth tries to get up, but Irons places his gigantic foot on the neck of the downed Goth.
Irons: I wouldn't move if I were you, Gothic Boy. You seem to forget what you are in this business. Since you've retired from the ring, and hung up your boots you have become soft. You are a pencil pusher compared to me. Unlike you, I have a knack for staying in top shape, for in the event that I have to get in the ring, I can still perform as I did when I faced A.P. Feight and Jaymz back in GWA. But no. You have to undermine me, and make me look like shit. So in return, I make you feel like shit. You and I both know that we're not equals. I am stronger, faster, and more powerful than you. I own this company, and the way you've been running things, The AWA is lucky to still be around. But that will change. I have my own agenda to attend to. Enjoy your meaningless win earlier this day, because it doesnt mean a damn thing!! Soon Goth, soon we will face again and this time I will break you!!!
Irons kicks Goth in the head as the scene cuts to commercial
The camera sees Marty McFarge bound and tied to a chair in a dark room with only one over hanging light revealing him. He is squirming and trying to yell stuff but can't with the gag in his mouth. Suddenly Shipman appears from the shadows behind him and Marty's eyes just swell open in the sight of fear. Shipman: Welcome to my lair Marty. Wanna tell people what I have done to you so far? Oh wait you can't with that rag in your mouth but that's ok. Your voice is too god damn annoying anyway. So I guess I should explain my actions of why a guy in a match with Chaos like myself would go and kidnap Jason Stevens' agent? Well the answer is simple. To send my own message to the world more importantly, this new group of Goth's. For far too long I have just stood aside and watched as Goth would do whatever it took to make sure who he wanted to wear the gold did. Why do you think Chaos will be challanging Rex at the pay per view besides me? Or why haven't I ever got a shot at the World belt? So now I am bringing the fight to Goth and his cronies, but anybody with half a brain knows taking on a faction by yourself is a suicide mission so I made a few calls and did some running around backstage and look what I found besides this fat sack of shit behind me.
Rex Butler appears from the shadows of the dimly lit room; his shadow being cast on the wall by the single lightbulb hanging low from the ceiling. He laughs as he sees Marty's eye widen with fear, trying to mumble out screams for help. Rex walks behind Marty and places his hands on Marty's shoulders, bending down, bringing his mouth close to his ears.
"You didn't really think that you were the best thing we could get, do you? Marty... you're nothing but a pawn in this game. An unvaulable piece to the puzzle. A character that is so irrelavent to the story, that if you were somehow no longer a part of it... it would continue like nothing happened. Marty... you serve no purpose in this business, yet you showed up because that dumbass Jason Stevens thought you could help him get a title shot. That didn't... and won't ever happen. You see, Marty, we're using you as an example. You're just the first casaulty in this game that Goth and his little asskissers wanna get started. I don't mind the game... in fact, I look forward to playing, and ultimately coming out on top. You see, I don't need any help in this battle. I've already beaten your little sack of shit client, and I can do again, whenever and wherever. I've alreaedy beaten Chaos, but... because he's got his ass so far up Goth's ass, he's getting himself another shot at the title he was worthy of holding. I can beat them again, Marty... but, I'm also not stupid enough to fight alone. They want someone to hold their hand and be a shoulder to cry on when I kick their asses? That's just fine... but with Shipman behind me - and with the crazy shit that's going on inside his fucked up brain - I'm going to say that this battle just got evened out a little. So, Marty... if you ever get out of here, you need to send a message to Goth and his cronies. We're not going to back down from this. They can bring whatever they want to into this battle... but, I swear to God that win or lose, they're going to get a fight they won't ever forget!"
Rex pats Marty on the cheek as sweat begins to pour down his face. Rex and Shipman walk back into the darkness, laughing, as the scene fades to black.

Duff: Excuse me, partner, but I think you have to admit a mistake you made.
