The lights in the arena dim and the crowd begins to buzz with anticipation. Suddenly the TRON crackles to life to show Ronin, his face painted solid white, smiling into the camera. The fans cheer wildly as he stands there quietly for a moment. Finally, the crowd noise dies down, and he begins to speak.

Ronin: Hello, everyone and welcome to another edition of Monday night Insomnia!

The crowd cheers and chants wildly, their claps and stomps causing the arena to rumble.

Ronin: Now, let's call things the way they are. No one's here tonight to watch three members of the Family play Ring Around the Rosie, am I right?

More cheers ensue and a round of laughter rolls across the crowd.

Ronin: Yeah, that's what I thought. Everyone who's here tonight came to see the clash between the Wrestling Machine and the Hand of the Elders.

The arena explodes with applause and cheering. Ronin smiles, letting it continue for a few moments before continuing.

Ronin: You know, there's been a lot going around on the internet and television about this match. Everyone wants to see the clash between a former champion and a current champion. It's a true case of old versus new, they say. A legend in the sport taking on a rising star. I've even heard this match described as Darth Vader vs. Anakin Skywalker.

Another round of laughter echoes through the arena.

Ronin: All joking aside, they're exactly right. In recent weeks, I've been called a rising star in the AWA, and Chaos is referred to by many as a living legend. There is a problem with this little equation, however. You see, the problem with legends is that all too often, there's little truth behind them. Oh, sure, they usually begin by someone relating something they witnessed, but as the tale is passed on it grows and undergoes changes, until finally the story is simply that. A story. Unfortunately, we all know that every story has an ending. I'm sorry to say that the final chapter in the legend of Chaos will be written tonight, and it won't be at all a happy ending. I think an appropriate final line will be, “and he lived miserably ever after.”
You see, tonight you will all witness the end of the so-called “Era of Chaos”. As I've pointed out, this vaunted path of destruction Chaos keeps harping on has only two victims to its credit. To me, it sounds more like a car accident than the natural disaster he would have us equate it to. No. There will be only one more victim of this era, and it will be the man himself.
Now, I know that everyone's curious about how things stand within the Rebellion right now. They all want to know what kind of effect the attack on Canis had on the rest of us. I could stand here and tell you all that it didn't even phase us, but I'd be lying. In truth, it effected us all, but I don't think it's exactly the effect that the Family was hoping for. All they've done with this attack is strengthen our resolve, hardened our determination. On top of that, they've opened our eyes. Whether they want to admit it or not, none of us are stupid. We see what they've been doing, and we know it's leading up to something. They're attack on Canis proved how far they're willing to go to be rid of us. Unfortunately for them...not far enough. Soon, things in the AWA will change for good when Canis meets Goth in the center of the ring, and is named the new owner of the company. Until that time, we'll continue to do what we've already done, keeping the wolves away from the door. Don't worry, everyone. This will all be over soon.

The crowd cheers and chants loudly as Ronin smiles into the camera, chuckling. The scene on the TRON slowly fades to black as the show cuts to a commercial break.

We cut backstage and we see Bill Barnhart quickly walking down the hallway at the Oklahoma Ford Center. He arrives at the office of Chief Financial Officer John Irons and he knocks on the door and waits for the invitation to come in.

JOHN IRONS: Come in Bill.

Barnhart opens the door and walks into the office. He is offered a seat in front of John Iron’s desk. Bill sits down and looks at Irons.

BULLDOG BILL: Irons, sometimes you creep me out…how did you know it was me at the door? You didn’t know I was coming to see you just now.

JOHN IRONS: I am not psychic Bill. With all the tensions going between The Family Stable and Rebellion Stable I had a surveillance camera installed outside my office so I can keep track of who is passing my office. I saw you walk up so I knew it was you. But you aren’t here to discuss my surveillance camera. What’s on your mind Bill?

BULLDOG BILL: John, I am really disturbed by that vicious attack on Canis last week at Insomnia. Fang went way over the line with that attack and for him to have Vic Gilot smack Canis around and then hold him while Fang went off on him was…well…disturbing. I want to talk to Goth about it but…

JOHN IRONS: …You let me take care of talking to Goth. You are already in enough trouble losing that incriminating paperwork. Until we find that missing briefcase and missing paperwork you should lay low and stay away from talking directly with Goth. If you have anything to talk about you come and talk to me. Is that clear?

BULLDOG BILL: Yes sir! By the way how is Canis doing after the attack?

JOHN IRONS: Well Bill I would love to tell you but I honestly don’t know. After he was taken out of the arena last week I have had no contact with him. I find it rather odd that nobody contacted me to tell me where Canis was taken because I am Chief Financial Officer and I have to pay the medical bills. As soon as I hear where Canis is and how he is doing I will announce it for everyone to know.

BULLDOG BILL: I sure hope Canis is okay. He has always been nice to me and has helped me a lot when I was working as Personal Assistant on the Staff. Thanks for your time Boss. I need to get back to my dressing room and get dressed for my match with Chris Shipman.

Bill stands up as does John Irons. Bill reaches over the desk and shakes Irons’ hand and then Bill leaves the office and quietly closes the office door behind him. The cameraman follows Bill Barnhart down the hallway until they arrive at Bill’s dressing room. Bill then asks the cameraman to leave and Bill walks into his dressing room and the cameraman cuts his camera and the production crew cuts back to Tex and Duff at ringside as they get ready to announce the next match.

Vs.

The arena strobe lights span the crowd in attendance as "BYOB" hits the speakers. the lights flicker on and off as Modo is caught by the cameras...he is a top the rafters among his fans. he descends down through the crowd as all the people cheer him on and clap his back. Modo looks around and takes in the atmosphere before jumping the guardrail and sliding into the ring. The arena fills with smoke as Modo enters the ring and the lights come back on. Modo is in the middle of the ring with his two index fingers in the air as the fans go wild...

Stormy: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first weighing in at 245 pounds from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Modo.

Tex: This is another match involving members of next week’s elimination chamber. All of these matches are so important.

Duff: That’s right if you get the momentum going and have a winner over someone else in that chamber so close to the match it gives you a real mental advantage.

Tex: And when a championship like the new Television Title is on the line you can use all the advantage you can get.

Motorcycle Revves up as Master of Puppets Intro start to play as song start out Walk Arson right hand in air in fist waving bandana and lock in air in Circle as he stands on Ramps as he walk down cracking his knuckles in his fist get half way down to the ring run slide in under the bottom rope then running back and forth on each rope, but out of nowhere Modo runs in and spears Arson as he’s bouncing off one of the ropes. Stormy quickly gets out of the ring as the bell rings. Modo stays on top of Arson and begins to level heavy rights and lefts to his skull. Arson is obviously stunned by this huge spear and isn’t protecting himself from Modo’s onslaught.

Duff: That’s what I’m talking about. Every man is doing everything he can to win these final matches.

Tex: Modo has a real vicious streak when he wants to and I don’t know if Arson can even breath that spear might’ve cracked some ribs.

Modo stands up and brings Arson to his feet by his fair. Modo switches to holding Arson’s arm, he twists it and then snaps Arson towards him with a short arm lariat. Arson falls back to the canvas, the back of his head bouncing hard. Modo stalks around and the fans cheer his domination thus far. The referee goes to see if Arson is alright, but before he can get a response Modo pushes by and brings Arson back to his feet again. He sets Arson up for a Russian leg sweep, looks around to the crowd, and then snaps the leg sweep violently. Arson’s body vaults a couple of inches off the canvas from the hard impact.

Tex: Nothing but pure domination from Modo.

Duff: These are the times when you see the cream rise to the top, when the pressure is on who thrives.

Modo stands over the limp body of Arson, he smiles to himself as he signals for a belly to belly suplex. The fans cheer in agreement and Arson is brought to his feet by his hair once more. Arson is wobbly, not able to hold up his own weight. Modo hooks him and delivers a hard belly to belly suplex. He doesn’t let go and brings them both to their feet only to snap over a second belly to belly. Still not letting go Modo brings Arson’s rag doll body up again for one final release belly to belly suplex that almost sends Arson directly onto his neck. Modo signals for the end, but then stops himself and a smile creeps onto his face. He struts over to Arson who has not moved a millimeter from the spot he landed. Modo brings him up to his feet and places him in the corner using the corner to hold up Arson. Modo walks a few steps back and delivers a huge superkick that almost sends Arson tumbling over the top rope. Instead Arson crumbles into the corner. Modo drags Arson to the middle of the ring. He places both of his knees on Arson’s chest and uses his fingers to count as the referee counts the pin one…two….three. The bell rings and the fans erupt.

Tex: There is no denying it, Modo is prepared for that Elimination Chamber.

Duff: The reason question is, will Arson be recovered enough to even compete in the match? Also Modo has proven that he is one of the favorites walking into this all important match to crown the first Television Champion.

Stormy: Here is your winner…..MMMMMMMOOOOOOODDDDDDDOOOO!

Winner:

The scene switches to the back where we see Big Bad Casey. He is seen warming up for the match with Mr. X. He sees the camera and gives a sinister looking smirk.

Casey: Mr. X, you don't know what you're in for! I am bigger and stronger than you are, which is why your going down. This match is going to be one for you to remember. I want you to remember the beating you will take tonight. It will be my honor and my pleasure to destroy you and stop your winning ways, and prove for once and for all that your victory over me 2 weeks ago was just because you saw an opportunity when I was hit with my own move by Modo and capitalized on that by tossing Modo out of the ring and pinning me. I will expose you for the coward that you are while I defeat you and you start running away.

Casey then decides to take a drink of water. After a moment, when he has quenched his thirst, he continues.

Casey: I am going to hurt you so bad that you won’t remember what hit you. Once I knock you out with Power Up or choke you out with Sin City, you will feel like you were hit by a freight train! You will then realize that you should have not run your mouth against me and compared me to a re-run on TV. I will be the victorious one in this match and that is a promise!!! Once I beat you and make you the first one eliminated in the Elimination Chamber for the TV Title match, you will wish that I had gone easy on you in our match.

Then the scene goes into airing the promos Big Bad Casey has done for the match in order. Then once the 3rd promo has finished, the scene changes as he walks out of the gym.

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, hailing from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 245 pounds... MISTER X!!!

The whisper of "I can feel it" strikes through the crowd. The lights go down, red smoke begins to build in the entrance way as the music gets louder. When the music blasts Mr. X bursts through the smoke into the center of the entrance way. He crosses his arms in an "X" at the top. There is a mixed reaction as he makes his way down the ramp. Mr. X jumps from the floor to the ring apron and quickly goes through the ropes. He goes from corner to corner and raises his "X" sign as the music dies and the lights return he goes into his corner to prepare for the match.

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, hailing from Nashua, New Hampshire, weighing in at 375 pounds... BIG BAD CASEY!!!

As he walks to the ring, he goes through the different karate stances

The bell rings and X rushes towards Casey, quickly opening up with a flurry of forearm shots and kicks, staggering the big man back into the corner. X leaps up for a monkey flip, but Casey shoves him off, sending him rolling to the middle of the ring. As X gets back up, he rushes towards Casey again, but gets a big boot in his face for his trouble. Casey shakes off the opening onslaught, walking to the center of the ring and lifting X up by his mask. Casey delivers a hard chop into X's chest, sending the masked man staggering towards the ropes. Casey grabs X, irish whipping him across the ropes. As X comes back, Casey telegraphs a back body drop, giving X enough time to adjust and deliver a dropkick to the top of he big man's head, knocking him onto his ass.

Tex: This match has started to be a battle of speed versus power... David and Goliath at it's finest!

Duff: Have you made it a point to state the obvious tonight? I mean seriously Tex...

X takes off to the ropes, coming back with a swift yet powerful shining wizard on his return. X looks for the quick cover, but Casey kicks out at two. X stands up, shaking his head as Casey gets to his hands and knees. X goes for a kick to Casey's skull, but Casey catches his foot, sweeps him to the ground then locks in a leg lock. Casey wrenches it in tight as X reaches for the bottom rope, narrowly missing it again and again. Casey finally lets up on the hold, standing and stomping on X's knee. X clutches his knee as Casey stalks the masked man, slowly lifting him to his feet. Casey looks to deliver his huge knockout right hand, but X ducks it. As Casey turns around, X leaps up out of desperation and delivers his Crash and Burn Signature move. He quickly drops for the cover...

1...

Duff: Casey just Crashed and Burned! He ain't getting up after that!

2...

Tex: That was out of nowhere! Casey never saw it coming!

Thr-NO!

Casey throws his shoulder up just before the three count! X stands up, shocked by Casey's tenacity. As he reaches down to grab Casey, the big man springs to life, wrapping his legs around X's head and locking in his Sin City submission hold! X is flailing around as Casey puts everything he has into it. X continues to struggle, reaching for the ropes as referee Chip Long moves in to ask X if he is giving up! Before he caves in and taps however, X flails around, catching his leg on the bottom rope, causing Long to make Casey break the hold. Upon breaking the hold, X rolls to the outside of the ring, coughing on the floor as Casey ays on the canvas, trying to catch his breath.

Tex: Casey almost had it right there! The score is tied at 1 for close calls! This match is incredible Duff!

Duff: I have to admit Tex, when I saw this match on paper, I thought it would have gone way differently than it has thus far!

Tex: Both of these men are running on fumes now. Whoever gets the advantage next could very well be the man who leaves victorious here!

Casey slowly gets to his feet, taking notice of X starting to stand up on the outside. Casey makes it to the ropes, reaching over the top rope and grabbing X by the mask. As Casey lifts X onto the apron, X grabs Casey's head and drops down, catching Casey's throat on the top rope. Casey flails as he staggers bckwards before dropping onto his back. As he does, X gets back on the apron, then springboards into a somersault leg drop! X lands hard across Casey's throat, then hops across and hooks the leg as Long drops down into position...

1...

Tex: X MARKS THE SPOT! THIS ONE'S OVER DUFF!

2...

Duff: There's no way the big man can get up! Not after everything these two have been through!

3!!!

Stormy Canyon: Here is your winner... MISTER X!!!

Winner:

John Irons is walking through the backstage area. He spots Jonathan Porter talking to his men in black. Irons just shakes his head. Fang notices John and smiles. Irons makes his way over. The Man in Black is wearing his finest suit, and is looking sharp. Irons takes note.

Irons: You always seem dressed so well. How’s that possible in this day and age.

Fang: Because I don’t squander my money on cheap and worthless things. Once you buy something like this if you take good care of it, it lasts a long time. Not like this shit hole your running into the ground, John.

Irons: The AWA is doing fine thank you very much, and it’s all because of the Rebellion.

Fang; You really think that don’t you. You think those boys you’ve cobbled together are what’s keeping this company in the ratings on TV? The Fans want to see the next part of the drama. The fans want to see what’s going to happen next. They don’t care about whether the Rebellion actually wins or not. They know that if YOU fail, Which you will, John. That another group will rise up and take your place. Now should you win, should you defeat The Family and liberate the company from my brother, another group of guys will come up to challenge you. Not much of a Rebellion when you become the men everyone will be gunning for now is it. Ah, but you couldn’t leave it alone. You had to try and change everything when the program was working fine the way it was.” Irons is fuming. The Marine is glaring into Porter’s eyes and the intensity of his rage shows. Fang just smiles.

Irons: The right people weren’t getting the title shots. I had to do what I did to balance the playing field.

Fang: Right people? You mean Ronin, Metamania, Shipman? They all had title shots, they all tried and failed many times. They just started to get pissy because they couldn’t take that belt of that little girl. Did you learn anything from the time I took on the Family, John.

Vic Gillot sneaks up on Irons, but Irons turns and spots him, before he can hit him with the lead pipe. Fang drops down to his knees and hits Irons with a low blow. The Marine goes down, because no matter how tough you are a nut shot is a nut shot. Fang points to Irons and the Men In Black begin to stomp on the CFO of the AWA. Vic pulls Irons up to his knees and Fang gets down at eye level.

Fang: I was the man who took the Family down a peg. I was the man who held the International Title for the longest reign ever. I was the man who took to of the most up and coming superstars in the AWA today and turned them into legends. Me John. Meanwhile you sit there with your boys, most of them to filled with arthritis to put on a decent match and you tell me they haven’t been treated fairly? Who was one of the men in charge of this whole thing when they weren’t being treated fairly? It was you John. The missing money? Well no body is going to know about that for quite some time, because that’s been taken care of, now hasn’t it. Canis is out of my way, placed somewhere safe where his feeling won’t get hurt. Where he will know that he’s not to blame for what happens to his rebellion next. YOU Irons, are going to go away for awhile to. I think it would be best if you go clear your head. Maybe instead of thinking about Mid-card losers you’ll come back with the right mind set.

Fang gets up off his knees and walks away. Irons in a burst of strength jumps out of Vic’s hold and runs toward Fang. Fang sidesteps in the nick of time and as Irons turns to come back at him Fang lands the Fatal Shot on the Marine. Irons is down in a heap on the floor.

Fang: You guys take this piece of trash down to the Airport. Put him on my private plane and take him to Aruba. I want him out of the way, but at least give the man some luxury. Let him stay at “The Guest House”

MIB: Okay boss. Champagne wishes and Caviar Dreams, then?

Fang: Lap of luxury boys. I don’t want him damaged he might just come around yet.

In a repeat of last week, the Men in Black take Irons and drag him away. The Wolf God grins as he straightens his suit. The feeling of déjà vu is overwhelming. Fang turns to Vic and smiles.

Fang: Just a couple more pieces of dead weight to get rid of and the AWA will be back on track. Let’s go have a chat with my dear brother.

Fang and Vic head off to Goth’s office as Insomnia goes to a commercial

The scene opens up backstage in the arena parking lot, we can here Jason muttering to himself from the other side of the door.

JS: Can’t believe I left my porno mag in the limo! How am I supposed to get through the night without it!?

Jason opens the door and walks towards his limo, only to find the limo trashed and the driver unconscious.

JS: What......the.......fuck?!

He sees a note on the limo driver’s hat and picks it up, he growls and storms away.

Texx: I think it’s pretty clear that Marty’s behind this, and oh boy I don’t want to be in Toddi’s shoes right now.

Vs.

The scene cuts to the center of the ring where Stormy Canyon stands holding a microphone.

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest falls under No Disqualification rules, and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, standing 5' 7” and weighing in at 175 pounds...JASON “THE SENSATION” STEEEEEEEEVVVVEEEEEEEEENNNS!!!

The opening riff for “Room for One More” is heard over the PA, as soon as the baseline kicks in Jason emerges from the back with his mentor Steve Ramone following him close behind alongside Carrie, the crowd are mixed in their reaction to the trio as whilst they hat Jason they love Steve, Jason rolls into the ring and bounces off the ropes as Steve and Carrie take up postions at ringside.

Tex: Jason Stevens now has his opportunity to settle the score between himself and Matthew Toddi.

Duff: Come on, Tex! Toddi's a fluke and you know it! Jason's going to wipe the floor with him!

Stormy: And his opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, standing 6'1” and weighing in at 225 pounds...MAAAATTTTHHHHEEEEWWWW TOOOODDDDDDIIIII!!!

Toddi's theme hits as he is introduced and he walks out looks at the fans who are booing him and then he raises his hood over his head and places arms out to sides as red and white spark pyro comes out from above and the sides of him! He then walks and slides intot he ring, takes another look at the fans raises his arms with one hand index finger and thumb up and the other hand just index. He then teases throwing his hoodie to the crowd as he gives it to the announcer and warms up by pulling the ropes until the bell ring hits.

Tex: You know this kid hasn't exactly set the world on fire since his debut, but he's shown that he can hold his own. Let's see where this goes tonight.

Duff: I've got to admit. I like this kid. But he just can't stand up to the experience Jason Stevens has.

Tex: Um, Duff...have you seen Jason Stevens' record lately?

Duff: Just a speed bump! He'll get back on top, but first he's got to finish Toddi once and for all!

The time keeper rings the bell and the match begins. The two men start quickly, meeting the center of the ring and hammering into each other with right hands. Jason gets the upper hand, blocking one of Toddi's punches and landing an elbow across his jaw. Jason continues pummeling Toddi, staggering him back toward the ropes. One final elbow strike has Toddi leaning back on the ropes, and Jason runs to the opposite side of the ring, bouncing off the ropes and launching himself across the ring and sending Toddi flying over the top rope with a clothesline! Jason smiles and surveys the crowd, nodding his head as they cheer and chant. He doesn't slow down, however, sliding under the bottom rope and stomping Toddi as he tries to gain his feet. Jason grabs Toddi by the head, motioning for the fans in the front row to get out of the way. Grabbing Toddi's tights, he launches Matthew into the guardrail, holding his fists up and laughing as the newcomer crumbles to the floor.

Tex: Jason Stevens is wasting no time with Toddi tonight!

Duff: See? I told you he'd take care of him!

Stevens stops his show-boating as he sees Matthew Toddi getting to one knee. He snarls, running toward the newcomer and looking to rock him with another clothesline. Matthew sees it coming, however, and ducks the attack, lifting Stevens with his back and hurling him over the guardrail and into the crowd! The fans cheer wildly as Jason writhes on the floor in pain, lying on his back in anguish. Toddi yells and motions for the fans to step back, climbing onto the guardrail, his legs shaking as he slowly stands on the wobbly metal. He leaps from the guardrail, landing with a vicious Leg Drop across Jason's throat! But he hurts himself in the process, landing squarely on his tailbone on the concrete floor of the arena. Toddi rolls over onto his stomach, holding his rear end as the crowd chuckles. Jason Stevens has finally stopped convulsing from the impact, and slowly gets to his feet. He hauls Toddi to his feet by his hair, and proceeds to slam his head into the guardrail as the crowd counts along. One...Two...Three..Four...Five...Six...An elbow to Jason's mid-section breaks the attack. Toddi spins around, catching Stevens on the side of the head with his fist. He kicks Stevens in the gut, doubling him over, and grabs him by the head and tights and hurls him back over the guardrail. He climbs over the rail, grabbing Stevens and hauling him to his feet. He drags Stevens by the back of his head toward the ring, slamming his head into the ring post as the crowd responds with loud “oh's”. He backs Stevens away a few steps, whipping him toward the steel ring steps, but Stevens is able to reverse it and Toddi collides with the steel steps, knocking them across the arena floor and falling to the ground as he holds his knee in pain.

Tex: These two have turned this match into an all-out war!

Duff: Toddi knew what he was getting into when he walked into the arena tonight! He should've stayed home!

Jason reaches under the ring as Toddi lies on the ground, trying to gain his bearings. The crowd erupts with cheers as Stevens withdraws a Singapore Cane! He smiles as he walks over to Toddi's prone body, holding the cane high over his head and swinging it down as hard as he can. The crack of wood on flesh echoes through the arena as Stevens whacks Toddi hard across the chest. Stevens brings the cane up once more, bringing it down on Toddi's back as the newcomer tries to roll out of the way. Jason brings the cane up a third time, but the attack seems to have woken Toddi up, and he kicks Jason hard in the jewels! Stevens drops the cane, doubling over and dropping to one knee with his hands over his groin, grimacing in pain. Toddi slowly gets to his feet, smiling as he picks up the cane. Gripping the weapon with both hands, he gets a running start and cracks Stevens across the forehead! Stevens falls to his back, holding his head in pain and kicking his legs wildly. Toddi drops the cane and moves over to Stevens, picking him up slowly and rolling him into the ring. Blood patters to the canvas as Stevens gets to one knee, breathing heavily.

Duff: No! He's busted open! Dammit Jason, get up!

Tex: Not feeling so confident, Duff?

Duff: Shut up! Toddi's going to pay for that!

Toddi climbs onto the ring apron as Stevens slowly gets to his feet. Jason turns the ring slowly, looking for his opponent. When he faces Toddi, the newcomer jumps onto the top rope, launching himself at Jason and wrapping his arms around his, spinning and planting him with a DDT! Rolling Jason onto his back, Toddi goes for the pin. One...Two...NO! Jason gets his shoulder off the mat. Matthew immediately jumps to his feet, shouting at the referee that the count was too slow. As Toddi argues with the referee, Stevens gets to his feet and clobbers Matthew with a forearm to the back of the head. He wastes no time, grabbing Toddi's arm and twisting his torso, locking him in an Abdominal Stretch! The referee gets in Toddi's face, asking him if he quits. Toddi shakes his head furiously, screaming in pain. After a moment, Jason decides he's had enough and grabs the ropes, using them for extra leverage as he clamps the hold down harder. Toddi yelps in pain, yelling at the ref that Jason has to break the hold. The referee shakes his head, reminding Toddi that this is a No Disqualification match.

Duff: Aw, the poor baby's crying to Mommy.

Tex: The referee's right. Jason can do pretty much whatever he wants to.

Toddi continues to fight Jason's holding waving off the referee every time he asks for Toddi's submission. Finally, Toddi turns ever so slightly, bringing up his free hand and raking Jason across the eyes, dropping to one knee as the hold is finally broken and Jason stumbles around the ring, holding his eyes and swinging his fists blindly. Toddi takes advantage of the moment, quickly scrambling up the turnbuckle as Stevens continues to stumble around the ring. Once Jason is close enough, Toddi launches himself off the top rope, pinning Stevens to the mat with a Cross Body! Hooking Jason's leg, he goes for the pin. One...Two...Th...KICK OUT! Jason barely gets his shoulder up and Toddi slaps the mat in frustration. Toddi rolls out of the ring as Jason lies on the canvas. He reaches under the ring, quickly pulling out a steel chair. Stevens has gained his feet as Toddi gets back into the ring, blood smeared across his face. Toddi holds the chair overhead, getting a running start toward Stevens, aimed at bringing it down on his head. In mid-swing, Stevens jumps and delivers a vicious Drop Kick, slamming the chair into Matthew's face! Matthew nearly loses his footing, stumbling backward and shaking his head to gain his bearings. He runs toward Stevens again, swinging the chair sideways looking to take Jason's head off. At the last second, Stevens ducks and Toddi cracks the referee across the head, sending him to the canvas and knocking him out cold!

Tex: There's no referee! Toddi knocked out the referee!

Duff: Damn straight, Doc Obvious! Ha ha ha! Now it's a party!

Toddi drops the chair, smacking himself in the head as he looks at the prone body of the referee. Jason sees the opportunity and takes it, picking up the chair and cracking Toddi in the back of his head. There is movement on the outside as Steve Ramone has gone under the ring and pulled out a table, much to the fans' approval. He slides the table in to Jason, who grabs it and sets it up in the center of the ring. Jason picks Toddi up, setting him up for a Suplex. Toddi kicks his feet wildly, finally reversing the maneuver and planting Stevens with a DDT! Toddi jumps to his feet as the crowd cheers, running to the corner and climbing the top rope. Raising his fists in the air, he leaps off the top rope, landing a beautiful Shooting Star Press! Without thinking, he hooks Jason's leg for the pin, but there's no referee. Staying on his knees, he moves over and grabs the referee, shaking him hard to snap him out of his stupor. As Toddi's back is turned, Steve Ramone approaches the ring apron and yells at Jason, rolling a beer bottle into the ring. The referee finally begins to stir, and Toddi turns back to pin Stevens, only to cracked in the head with the beer bottle! Glass showers the canvas and clood begins to trickle down Toddi's face as Jason slowly gets to his feet. The referee has gotten to his knees, using the ring ropes to try and pull himself up. Jason picks up Toddi and drags him to the corner, picking him up and setting him on the top turnbuckle. Dragging the table closer to the corner, he climbs the turnbuckle himself and stands Toddi up, smiling and waving to the crowd before turning around and using Toddi's own finisher, crashing him through the table with the MKO! The crowd goes crazy as Jason hooks Toddi's leg amidst the splintered remains of the table. The referee stumbles toward the competitors, falling to the mat as he counts. One...Two...Three!!!

Duff: Yes! Yes! I told you Jason was going to wipe the floor with the rookie!

The time keeper calls for the bell and the referee stumbles to his feet, grabbing Jason's hand and holding it up in victory.

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner...JASON “THE SENSAAAAAATION” STEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNSSSSS!!!

Tex: Jason finally settles his score with Matthew Toddi, making quick work of the newcomer here tonight and adding insult to injury as he wins the match with Toddi's own finisher!

Duff: Toddi never had a chance! Maybe next time he'll think twice before going after someone as ruthless as Jason Stevens!

Jason climbs out of the ring, joining Steve and Carrie as the three walk up the entrance ramp, smiling triumphantly and yelling at the fans. The referee helps Matthew Toddi to his feet and the young man rolls out of the ring, slowly stumbling to the backstage area as the scene cuts to a commercial break.

Winner:

We cut backstage to the dressing room of Bill Barnhart. As the door to his dressing room opens we see him making last minute adjustments to his wrestling outfit. He looks up and sees the camera there so he takes the opportunity for some pre-match comments for Chris Shipman.

BULLDOG BILL: Well hi there Shipman! So glad you could take a moment out of your busy schedule to pay me a visit. Consider yourself a very fortunate person because I rarely invite people into my dressing room immediately before a match.

Barnhart goes to the closet and he pulls out his wrestling boots. He walks over to a chair and sits down in the chair and he starts putting his wrestling boots on.

BULLDOG BILL: Chris, I would have to say, with total honest, that our last match, which was a major Feud Grudge Match, was personal. I have to say that because you were in on a lot of the attacks that happened against The Family Stable and the personal attacks on me personally. Although I didn’t win that match I did inflict enough damage upon you that I thought you would never consent to a match with me again. But, Shipman, you surprised me by accepting this match tonight.

Bill pauses as he laces up his wrestling boots. Once they are tied up he continues commenting to Chris Shipman.

BULLDOG BILL: But tonight, Shipman, this match is not personal for me. It is a professional thing for me. You see, Chris, I have absolutely nothing to prove to you. I have nothing to prove to the fans. I have nothing to prove to Tex Martin and Duff Travers either. But I do have something to prove to myself. And that is to prove to myself that having fun wrestling and taking everything as it comes and laughing about it and enjoying what I do best, which is wrestling, will win me more matches than I will lose. That, my friend, is why I have such a big smile on my face right now.

Bill stops and checks his wrestling attire one last time to ensure everything is in order. Satisfied that all is ready for the match Bill gets ready to walk out of the dressing room to get staged near the entrance area for his entrance.

BULLDOG BILL: I am off to get ready for my entrance. I will see you in the ring shortly Shipman. I hope you will have as much fun as I am going to have tonight. I am back to my old self and it damn sure feels great! See ya in a few minutes.

The cameraman gets an extreme close-up of Bill Barnhart’s face with that huge grin on his face as he is ready for his wrestling match with Chris Shipman. Our attention is back at the ring as they switch the scene to the ring for the start of the next match.

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The next contest is scheduled for one fall and it is under television time rules of fifteen minutes... The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6’3 and weighing in at 225 pounds!! Hailing from The Georgian Backwoods!! The psycho!! Chris Shipman!!!

The arena lights go out as the opening to Du Hast begins blaring. Strobe lights begin flashing as green purple and red spotlights move up and down the ramp and ring as the drums kick in. Smoke fills the curtain area as Shipman walks out from behind it and quickly moves down to the ring in his ripped jeans and noose. He just walks by fans reaching out to touch him and get hi 5's. He gets in the ring and tosses the noose to the floor as the lights go back to normal and the music fades.

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6’0 and weighing in at 240 pounds!! Hailing from Oakland, California!!! Bill Barnhart!!!

Bill’s music hits when suddenly from behind the announce table we see the figure of Al Cohol charging towards the ring and gets in the ring as he grabs the arm of Chris Shipman and turns him around. He then kicks him in the midsection before delivering a big time Powerbomb in the middle of the ring before sliding out of the ring and grins as he sees Bill slowly walk towards the ring.

Tex Martin: Unbelievable!! I never saw Al behind us all night!!!

Duff Travers: Are you blind? He was the guy with the hood on and the large sunglasses and…

Tex Martin: That person is still behind us Duff!!

Just as Duff turns around and notices the kid smiling at him, we see Bill enter the ring and grabs Shipman as he lifts him up to his feet and delivers a big time Piledriver before covering Shipman and getting the three count as the referee calls for the bell.

Tex Martin: This must have been one of the shortest and easiest victories in the career of Bill Barnhart!!

Duff Travers: He never broke a sweat!! What a wrestler!! What a man!!!

Bill walks to the back as we can see Chris Shipman slowly get bye as he stares into the face of the man that delivered the powerbomb before the show goes to a commercial break.

Winner:

We cut to the arena when suddenly Danzig’s Devil’s Plaything hits and the banner for Highway To Hell emerges as a voice starts to speak

Voice: April 18th 2010… The night where a new champion is crowned and dreams are made and hopes are shattered…. Welcome to the Highway To Hell!!!!

The banner remains as it slowly fades to darkness

Tex Martin: Can’t wait to that PPV!!!

Vs.

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Ellis, New York, weighing in at 248 pounds…Hank Henry III!!!!!

Hank Henry comes out with his limping manager Chaplin Graves as “Rolling” by Soul Coughing plays. The two begin to walk down the entrance ramp as they discuss the pros and cons of the upcoming match. Hank plays to the crowd as Chaplin continues to chat it up with Hank, telling him to keep his focus. Once at ringside Hank simply rolls into the ring as Chaplin takes up a spot around ringside.

Tex: It has been quite the rocky road for Hank Henry as of late. Two tough losses in a row. Tonight he’s out here to get back on the right track and pick up a win.

Duff: Yeah, but he lost to Chase and to Ronin. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Two very tough competitors. Yes Tex, I’m giving Ronin the respect he deserves.

Tex: Very kind of you.

The cameras switch back from the announcers to the ring as Hank’s music fades away to nothing. Hank just waits and waits until finally the lights inside the Ford Center dim as Violent J's Superstar begins to play. A shower of red sparked pyro begins to rain down the ramp as Stormy makes her second announcement.

Stormy: And his opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 260 pounds…Maaadrooooxciiiide!!!

Out steps Madroxcide wearing his Black leather pants, grey shades and Madroxcide logoed Hockey Pullover. The sparks cover him as he walks down the ramp and up into the ring. H e then jumps on to one of the turnbuckles to remove his hockey pullover. He balls up the shirt and throws it into the crowd as they throw boos at him. He then hops down and waits for the match to begin in one of the unselected neutral corners.

Tex: Last Monday Madroxcide announced he was coming and attacked Bael. Tonight he looks to begin making his push here in the AWA.

Duff: He is well traveled, but it’s up to us here to see if he’s well seasoned.

The bell rings to get the match officially underway. No sooner does the bell ring, Hank calls for his fork. Madroxcide shakes his head and reaches out to deliver a karate kick right to Hank’s gut, which connects. Hank teeters but doesn’t drop. However Madroxcide is able to gain the early control. He whips Hank to the far side of the ring and Hank’s back hits the turnbuckle. Hank falls forward as Chaplin Graves slaps the ring apron in frustration.

Tex: Not a good start for Hank.

Duff: No, but you have to give his opponent his due. It’s like you said. Madroxcide is looking to move up and Hank’s the perfect opponent to do it against!

Madroxcide goes to play to the Oklahoma City crowd. Many boo as Madroxcide closes in on his opponent now, but Hank suddenly sticks out his right leg and Madroxcide trips over it, his head landing in between the second and third ropes. Hank removes himself from the corner and delivers a headbutt to the back of Madroxcide’s head. Hank then pulls his opponent out of the ropes, brings him to right in the center of the ring and delivers a simple plain DDT. Hank rolls Madroxcide over and goes for the first fall of the matchup. Referee Chip Long is there for the count.

Referee Chip Long: ONE…TWO…

Madroxcide kicks out but Hank is having none of it. He grabs for Madroxcide’s legs and hooks them both into the air, leading to an immediate second count.

Referee Chip Long: ONE…TWO…

Using a bit more energy, Madroxcide is able to kick out again. Even though it’s early in the match still, Hank pounds the mat in frustration, much like Chaplin has already been doing. The referee tells Hank to calm down. Hank backs up a few steps and Madroxcide goes to get up, however Hank short arm clotheslines his opponent back down to the canvas. There is a mixed reaction from the Oklahoma City crowd Hank picks Madroxcide up now and looks around aimlessly for a few moments before whipping Madroxcide into a corner. He tangles his opponent’s legs into the ropes and goes to deliver the Care Bear Stare. On his way to kicking Madroxcide in the groin, Madroxcide falls out of the ropes and rolls out of the ring. Madroxcide points to his head and then to Hank.

Duff: A HUGE heads-up move from Madroxcide there! He’s telling Hank that he’s smarter than that.

Tex: Yeah, I’ll give credit where credit is due. This is one of those times.

Madroxcide re-enters the ring, but away from Hank. Chaplin meanwhile removes the fork from his persona and sets it in one of the corners. Hank sees it, but Referee Chip Long does not as he is watching Madroxcide re-enter the ring. Madroxcide puts his eyes on Hank and suddenly runs right at him, spearing Hank to the canvas. Madroxcide lays in a few punches to the forehead before sitting Hank up and applying an arm bar submission hold. Hank reaches out for the ropes, near to the corner that has the hidden fork, but he can’t reach the ropes just yet. Madroxcide decides to release the hold and drag Hank back to the center of the ring. Chaplin shakes his head at ringside as Madroxcide now goes to lock in a figure four leg lock. Hank actually turns it against Madroxcide though and Madroxcide looks like he’s about to tap out.

Tex: This could be over right here! Great counter by Hank.

Duff: It’s not over yet. Madroxcide hasn’t given up! Glad to see that. It’s the only way he’ll get what he wants!

Madroxcide slowly slinks over to the ropes and finally reaches out far enough to grab a hold of the bottom rope. Referee Chip Long calls for the rope break, but Hank doesn’t break the hold right away. The referee begins a five count.

Referee Chip Long: ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR…FI-

Hank breaks the hold at the last moment possible and doesn’t even give Madroxcide a chance to rest. He brings his opponent to his feet and immediately lands the Communist Clothesline that turns Madroxcide inside out. Hank goes for another cover.

Referee Chip Long: ONE…TWO…TH-

Madroxcide kicks out again and now seems to be tiring of all the tomfoolery. He shakes off the clothesline and moves away from Hank. He rolls back out of the ring and goes to grab a steel chair. Chaplin however grabs a fork and while the referee is dealing with Hank, Chaplin goes to stab Madroxcide with the fork, but Madroxcide catches hold of the fork and backstabs Chaplin with it. The crowd OHs as Chaplin staggers around the ringside area.

Tex: He stabbed Chaplin with the fork! Unbelievable!

Duff: One down, one to go for Madroxcide!

Madroxcide slips back into the ring. Hank finishes his “talk” with the referee and turns right around into the Hollywood Star. Hank is bounced off of Madroxcide’s knees. Hank is left on the mat like a ball and Madroxcide immediately rolls him up for the pinfall.

Referee Chip Long: ONE…TWO…

Suddenly Hank rolls through and grabs Madroxcide’s legs from behind, leaving the blood to flow into his opponent’s head as he pins him with Madroxcide’s head upside down. Madroxcide kicks his legs around in an attempt to get out. The referee sees the shoulders down and counts.

Referee Chip Long: ONE…TWO…THREE!!!!!

Madroxcide pushes Hank away a half second too late as “Rolling” by Soul Coughing begins to play.

Stormy: Here is your winner of the match….HANK HENRY III!!!!!

Chaplin smiles as he still staggers around the ringside area. Hank has his hand raised before he slips out of the ring to go help Chaplin Graves. Madroxcide just shakes his head, knowing he was THAT close to pulling off a big win. Referee Chip Long seemingly asks if he needs assistance with getting up, but it is declined as Madroxcide just rolls out of the ring, not looking back at it as he heads up the wrestler ramp to the backstage area. Meanwhile Hank has found his fork and Chaplin seems to be slowly recovering as the two of them now begin their ascent up the ramp as the scene fades to backstage…

Winner:

Goth can be seen backstage talking to someone on the phone as he doesn’t notice the camera listening to his phone call

Goth: No, don’t you worry man. I’m got it all covered… at the end of the night you can make your big surprise and then the world knows the true meaning of… what the? Get out!!!

Goth notices the camera as he slams the door shut in front of it as we move back to ringside

Tex Martin: What the??

Vs.

We focus on Tex Martin and Duff Travers at the Announcer Table as they give a lead-in explanation of the next match between Chaos and Ronin.

TEX: This next match is going to be a non-title match between Chaos and Ronin.

DUFF: Yes, it is also a Pinfalls Count Anywhere match which means the two do not have to confine their wrestling or pinfall attempts to the inside of the ring.

TEX: I had a discussion with Referee Richard Head a short time ago and he told me that the victory has to be by a pinfall and not by submission or count out. That means these two have to work hard because they have to pin their opponent and there will be no cheap count out victory here.

DUFF: The only problem I have with this match is that both these wrestlers are of the good guy variety but since I saw what Chaos did to Bill Barnhart last week in that No Holds Barred match, I am going to have to lean his direction as the wrestler with the advantage in this match with Ronin.

TEX: Well I will say this, if Chaos can defeat the International Champion in this non-title match, that would really boost him up in the rankings for an International Title shot soon. I believe the wrestlers are ready for their entrance so we will focus on that.

The lights in the arena go dark and we near YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG by AC/DC hit the speakers. The lights around the entrance area flash to life. As the song picks up chaos makes his way out from the backstage area. He walks to the landing at the top of the entrance ramp. He stops on the landing and as he raises his hands over his head a barrage of pyros erupt behind him, shooting across the stage behind him. The crowd gets excited as the pyros erupt and the noise level from the crowd is deafening. After the pyros subside Chaos walks down the ramp to the ring. He climbs up on the ring apron and then he ducks through the ropes and into the ring. Chaos then jumps up into a corner and mounts the middle rope facing the crowd. When he raises his hands over his head again the pyros erupt once more exciting the crowd. Chaos jumps down from the corner ropes and leans back into the corner to await the arrival of Ronin.

STORMY CANYON: Here is our first participant in this non-title Pinfalls Count Anywhere match, he is from Orlando, Florida, he is 6 feet even, and he weighs 275 pounds, please welcome “THE MONSTER” CHAOS!

The crowd gets excited again but their excitement is cut short as VIOLENCE FETISH by Disturbed hits the speakers at the same time as a huge explosion erupts in the entrance area and pyros spew in every direction around the entrance location. As soon as the pyros and smoke subside Ronin and Ilati step out from the backstage area, down the entrance ramp, and to the ring. The crowd is getting loud as the couple walk down to the ring. Ronin escorts Ilati over near the Announcer Table to allow her to take a seat to watch the match. Ronin looks up into the ring at Chaos and then he helps Ilati take her seat. Ronin turns and walks up the ring steps and then he ducks through the ropes and into the ring. Ronin walks around the ring to play each side of the crowd while Chaos watches him. After he makes his trip around the ring Ronin settles into the corner opposite of Chaos to await the start of this match.

STORMY CANYON: Here is our next participant in this non-title Pinfalls Count Anywhere match, from Nashville, Tennessee, at 6 feet 3 inches, and 240 pounds, please welcome “THE HAND OF THE ELDERS” RONIN!

TEX: Okay, here is the tale of the tape. Ronin has a 3 inch height advantage of Chaos but he is 35 pounds lighter. Which do you think is more important here, Duff, the height advantage of Ronin or the weight advantage of Chaos?

DUFF: Unless the height advantage is extremely large it doesn’t come into play. Three inches really isn’t enough of a height advantage to make a significant difference. However for a wrestler to have 35 pounds of weight advantage I would say is a major advantage. All he has to do is keep leaning that extra weight on his opponent and wear him down.

TEX: Excellent observation Duff. It looks like Referee Head is ready to get this match underway. Let’s go to the ring.

Referee Richard Head calls Chaos and Ronin out of their respective corners to join him in the center of the ring. Head informs the wrestlers that this is a NON-TITLE match and therefore should Chaos win he will not obtain the International Title Belt. Referee Head further informs the wrestlers that this is a PInfalls Count Anywhere match which means pinfalls do not have to take place inside the ring. However, Richard Head further points out that he will not count a submission or count out as a win in this match. The only way a wrestler can win is by pinfall. He asks Ronin and Chaos if they understand how this match will work and both indicate that they do. Satisfied that both wrestlers understand how the match will work, Referee Richard Head calls for the bell from the Timekeeper and this match is officially underway.

TEX: Well here we go! I feel this is going to be one hell of a great match!

DUFF: Tex, as much as I argue with you about nearly everything we discuss, I cannot argue with you on that comment!

Chaos and Ronin lock up in the middle of the ring. Chaos with his weight advantage is able to back Ronin into the corner. Referee Head calls for a break and Chaos punches Ronin in the jaw before stepping back for the break. Referee Head reprimands Chaos for the punch on the break but Chaos reminds him that Ronin cannot win on a Disqualification in this match so he doesn't feel that Head can Disqualify him anyway. Richard Head has to back off since he did state only pinfalls will be counted for a win and that there are no Disqualifications or count outs in this match. Chaos turns to go back on the attack to Ronin but as soon as he turns toward Ronin he gets kicked in the stomach and he doubles over in pain. Ronin dives over the top of Chaos and drags him over and places his legs over the arms and shoulders of Chaos for the pin. Referee Head drops and counts. ONE...TWO...THR... and NO! Chaos manages to get his shoulder up to break the count.

TEX: Damn! That was nearly a pinfall victory for Ronin with less than a minute into the match!

DUFF: It will take more than that to get a win over Chaos in a match like this.

Chaos rolls over toward the side of the ring and he rolls under the bottom rope and out of the ring to the arena floor. Ronin gets to his feet and he realizes that Chaos is on the outside of the ring. Ronin walks over to the ropes and calls Chaos back into the ring. Chaos motions for Ronin to come outside the ring since this is a Pinfalls Count Anywhere match so he apparently wants to take the match outside the ring. Ronin is not taking the bait as he remains in the ring trying to get Chaos to return to the ring. Chaos approaches the ring apron and makes a move as if he is going to climb up and slide under the bottom rope back into the ring. Ronin takes advantage of this by running over to that side of the ring and sliding to hit a baseball slide into Chaos. However, Chaos sees him coming and he backs away from the ring apron and Ronin misses hitting Chaos and slides about half way outside the ring under the bottom rope. Chaos runs up and grabs the legs of Ronin and he drags Ronin over to the corner where the steel ring post is located. Chaos is holding the leg of Ronin as he looks up into the crowd and growls at them. He then slams the leg of Ronin into the steel ring post and Ronin screams out from the pain. Chaos grabs the leg of Ronin and again slams it into the steel ring post and Ronin is in terrible pain. Chaos then jumps into the ring and he drags Ronin to the center or the ring. Chaos applies a figure-four leglock on Ronin thus adding more pressure and pain on the already injured leg. Ronin is about to pass out from the pain but Referee Head cannot do anything since a submission is not a valid win for this type of match. Ronin inches toward the ropes and he finally manages to reach up and grab the bottom rope and Richard Head steps in and demands a break on the hold from Chaos. Chaos reluctantly releases the figure four leg lock on Ronin but a lot of damage has been inflicted.

DUFF: I am not sure why Chaos released that hold on Ronin. He couldn't be Disqualified anyway.

TEX: I don't know either but it is a fortunate break for Ronin.

DUFF: Maybe Chaos wants to give Ronin a break so that when he goes back on the attack Ronin will know how good it feels to not have Chaos inflicting damage on him.

Ronin pulls himself outside the ring and Ilati comes over and offer assistance and comfort to him. Chaos remains in the ring glaring down over the ropes at Ronin and Ilati. She is a little apprehensive staying so close to the ring so she pulls Ronin over toward her chain which is near the Announcer table. Ilati massages the leg and knee of Ronin and after a short time he appears to be okay. He slowly walks back toward the ring and when he is a few feet from the ring Chaos dives over the top rope to land a hit on Ronin. Ronin was anticipating something like this and he is able to catch Chaos on the fly and he is holding Chaos in a body slam position. However, instead of body slamming Chaos to the arena floor, Ronin instead spins around and slams Chaos into the arena floor with him on top of Chaos. He reaches over and hooks the legs of Chaos for the pin as Richard Head just now arrives on the arena floor to make the pinfall count. ONE...TWO...and somehow Chaos manages to kick out of the pinning combination.

TEX: Oooooooo! That was soooooo close!

DUFF: I had a feeling this match was going to be exciting and go back and forth with these two.

Chaos is obviously hurting from that body slam to the concrete arena floor. Ronin thought he had the pinfall and we can see the disappointment on his face when Chaos kicked out. Ronin grabs Chaos by the hair and he drags him to his feet. On the way to his feet Chaos lifts a fist upward into the groin on Ronin and the low blow causes Ronin to drop to his knees in pain while Ilati lets out a gasp at the nut shot. Chaos is slow to get to his feet and he staggers over to Ronin and pulls him to his feet by the arms. Chaos then wraps his arms around Ronin's body and then he drives him backward into the wooden barricade causing the lower back of Ronin to slam into the barricade. Ronin is about to go down to the arena floor but Chaos holds him up on his feet. Chaos then pulls Ronin over toward the Announcer table and Tex and Duff, knowing what is coming next, bail out from their Announcer Table taking all their equipment with them. No sooner do Tex and Duff dive to the arena floor do we see Chaos pick Ronin up and body slam him into the Announcer Table causing the table to break apart. Ronin crashes through the table amid the heap of broken table. Chaos reaches in and pulls some of the debris out of the way and then he dives on top of Ronin for the pin. Richard Head looks in, and seeing the shoulders of Ronin on the floor, he goes in for the count. ONE...TWO... and NO! We don't know how he did it but Ronin got his shoulder up to break the count. Chaos isn't taking that so he goes for a pin again and this time he appears to have Ronin totally tied up for a firm pinfall victory. Richard Head reaches in and checks the shoulders and when he is sure that Ronin's shoulders are down he gets into position and goes for the pinfall count. ONE...TWO...THR... and the pinfall is broken up as Ilati whacks Chaos on the back with a folding metal chair. Chaos rolls off Ronin as Referee Richard Head gets into the face of Ilati and tells her to leave the ringside area. Ilati leaves the ringside area and goes up the ramp and disappears backstage.

DUFF: That totally sucks! Chaos had that pinfall for the victory until Ilati interfered in the match!

TEX: Oh please don't blame her. It isn't easy to sit there and watch your best friend get taken advantage of. Sometimes the emotions run wild and people react without thinking.

DUFF: At least Referee Head demanded she leave the ringside area. Now we can continue this match without further interruptions.

Chaos is totally upset that Ilati interfered in the match. He takes his anger out on Ronin by pulling him up, grabbing him by the arm, and attempting to whip him into the steel ring steps. Ronin manages to turn the attempt on Chaos and he whips Chaos into the ring steps instead. We watch as Chaos slams hard into the steel ring steps, slamming his back into the metal. Ronin drags Chaos to his feet and he rolls him back into the ring. Ronin follows into the ring as does Referee Richard Head. Chaos staggers to get to his feet and Ronin whips him hard into the corner. He then drags Chaos out from the corner and whips him into the ropes and he catches him with a clothesline on the rebound. Chaos appears to be out but Ronin doesn't immediately go for the pin but he pulls Chaos up and executed a DDT on him and then he goes for the cover. Richard Head get into position and starts the pinfall count. ONE...TWO...THREE!!! Ronin has gotten the pinfall victory and Richard Head calls for the bell to end the match. Ronin gets up off Chaos and he walks around the ring while we wait for the official announcement of the match.

TEX: The surprising thing about this match is that it was a pinfalls count anywhere match and the pinfall ended up happening inside the ring.

DUFF: I don't think Chaos would think that was amusing.

STORMY CANYON: Here is the winner of this match, by pinfall, he is "THE HAND OF THE ELDERS" RONINNNNN!!!!!

Ronin gets his hand raised in victory by Referee Richard Head. After Head lets go of his hand Ronin quickly leaves the ring and heads up the ramp to return to his dressing room. Chaos is slow to get to his feet and he slowly leaves the ring realizing he misses a golden opportunity to move up in the rankings had he been able to defeat Ronin, even though this was a non-title match.

Winner:

The arena is awaiting the main event when suddenly the arena goes black and a voice starts to speak

Duff: And man, Tex, it is glorious! Now this is how it should be! Three talented superstars showing the entire world what it truly means to be the best!

Tex: Oh please…

The crowd is going nuts and are definitely in the mood for one more match. Hell, judging by the crowd’s reaction, they can go for matches all night long! Various shots of the crowd is shown for a little bit until we get back to the ring as Stormy Canyon speaks to the crowd with the microphone in hands.

Stormy: Ladies and gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall and it is a Texas Bull Rope match! A bull rope is tied to all three members of The Family and can be used as a weapon. The first to touch all four posts of the ring is declared the winner of tonight’s main event! Introducing first, from Long Pond, PA, weighing at 220 lbs……FANG!!!!!!!!!!!!

The arena goes dark. A beat starts in the background followed by Rhinanna beginning to sing the beginning of “Run This Town” Red and blue strobes like police lights begin to go off as a form rises from underneath the stage. Jay-Z’s part begins and a spotlight shines on the figure at it shows to be Fang. He is standing in the light in a Black Armani suit. His head is bowed as the music plays. He then looks up as he is joined in the entrance way of the stage by Big Vic Gillot. The two men walk down to the ring The strobes still going off. More men in black suits walk behind the Man in Black. They surround the ring as he gets in. The lights go back to normal as the music fades. Fang takes off the suit jacket to reveal a white tshirt underneath. He folds the jacket and hands it to Vic. Fang nods to Vic and the men around the ring and they walk backstage as he waits for his opponents as the referee ties the first part of the bull rope onto Fang’s wrist, then steps back as Fang feels it on for the first time, then quickly gets used to it and stares at the entrance.

Stormy: Introducing the second of third opponents, from Franklin,TN, weighing at 121 lbs…..MARISSA SWANSON!!!!!!!!

The sound of cameras flashing can be heard as the AWA jumbotron lights up to show Marissa standing on a red carpet, her AWA Red Carpet Championship strapped around her waist. The scene zooms out a bit to show that she's surrounded by cameramen. A reporter ducks in through the cameramen and reach Marissa to ask her a question.

Reporter: So what happens now Miss Swanson?

Marissa continues to stand there and look very pretty.

Reporter: Marissa? What's your answer?

Marissa: I'll be fine. As for the Rebellion, in the end, they won't be. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take care of business.

Reporter: Well you heard it here folks! Marissa Swanson heads your way via the red carpet and she's all business today.

The scene on the jumbotron fades as the beginning of "Party In The USA" by Miley Cyrus begins to play. Shots of Marissa growing up on the jumbotron fade in and out until Marissa Swanson appears from out of the backstage area, the beautiful AWA Red Carpet Championship belt strapped around her waist, making her really stand out. She stands on the stage for a few seconds soaking in her surroundings before making her move down the wrestler ramp towards the ring. Any fans that are nice to wave at her or blow a kiss to her catches her attention and she gives them one back. As she gets to the ring, she climbs up the steel steps and up to the top rope. Meanwhile on the jumbotron, some shots of Marissa having fun at the beach play. All the men hoot and holler as Marissa now does a picture-perfect backflip off the top rope. As Marissa puts her arms up into the air, the fun beach pictures fade and are replaced with Marissa hitting her patented Swan Dive on several opponents. She stares at them smirking before pulling her arms back down. She then heads to her corner to await the beginning of the match as the referee puts on the bull rope onto her wrist. She looks at it and nods then locks eyes with Fang and smiles, who smiles back..

Stormy: Introducing the third and final opponent, from Place Unknown, weighing at 315 lbs, he is the current AWA Universal champion…..CHASE TOMLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights in the arena dim and turn to a crimson hue as the heavy riff of the opening of "Death Blooms" by Mudvayne begins to play through the speakers. The fans begin to boo as a small flame circles the center of the stage. A few moments pass before the music intensifies, causing the flames to rocket into the air. As the flames begin to die down, Chase Tomlin stands in the center of the small flames, looking around the crowd. Chase smirks slyly before stepping through the flames and making his way into the blood red spotlight and making his way down to the ring. At the bottom of the ramp, Chase walks around the ring to the steel steps, slowly stepping up one at a time before slowly pacing across the apron, taking a moment to look into the crowd with disgust before climbing between the ropes and making his way to his croner as the lights return to normal. Chase removes his trenchcoat and drapes it across the top rope as the music fades out. The referee places the bull rope onto him as well, making all three wrestlers together as one and cannot move without the other as the three of them stare into each other and smiling.

Duff: See, Tex, this is what I’m talking about! Three opponents in one stable about to show off what The Family can really do! Isn’t it great???
