Gothminister’s Darkside blares over the speakers as the owner of the AWA with his woman Sapphira along with Kain and Ariel pass through the curtain and stand at the top of the entrance ramp, grinning widely as the crowd jeer at the four individuals Kain ignites more boos as he raises the title high and laughs as Ariel laughs with him. As Ariel presses her body close, with one hand on her man's chest, Kain wraps one arm around her waist as he brings the title onto his left shoulder as Goth puts a microphone to his mouth and speaks

Goth: And the world stood in awe, watching how I collected MY championship belt with a man that HAS the potential to destroy the AWA’s foolish wrestlers that think that they can the big time in this federation!!! I got a man that will do whatever I tell him to do!! I told him to sell me his most priced possession, to become a champion!! How would you else think that a man this short in this federation had a championship belt opportunity? He knew that he had to do whatever he had to do to become champion and did it!! Learn from this Stevens!!! Because you failed!!!

The crowd is booing the owner of the AWA as he grins before kissing his woman

Goth: Soon, soon I will make the world realize how dangerous I can be when I fulfill my master plan and take down everyone that opposes me!! Including the Vice President, who already is bumping her head into bigger problems then that she can chew on!! I just hope for you little Miss Dreadful that our paths wont cross… Because just like the hopes of Chaos ever becoming the AWA Universal Champion… Your chances of ever ridding ME!! from the AWA is a futile task… Something that Kain knows everything about that it’s useless to resist me…

Goth hands over the microphone to Kain as he laughs sinister

Kain: No one saw it coming, did they, my love? No one ever saw me exact a plan that was executed perfectly! Everyone was up in arms about their retarded causes and forgetting what the real purpose is for being in a place like this - the AWA Universal championship! Thanks to the temporary deal that I made with Goth, not one that is eternal, I have gained the upper hand! I am solely responsible for the downfall of a pathetic former champion, his reign cast away for good, and I am now the champion! All of you worthless peons should get on your knees and bow down to the most superior fighter of them all, THE KING!

The crowd continues to throw angry curses and jeers at the King's direction, but he merely brings it all in as he inhales and exhales.

Kain: I shouldn't have to be in North Carolina tonight facing a weak, misguided giant such as Big Bad Casey! In fact, I shouldn't have to perform for you at all tonight, for none of you are worthy of seeing my excellent skills on display! But since I'm here, I may as well walk into that ring tonight and show Big Bad Casey that it was wrong for him to double-cross me, that it was wrong for him to take away MY TITLE, the AWA Television championship belt! But have no fear though - I can go back to any title and claim it just as easily, for the competition around here is weak! It's a crime to have me face off one weak challenger after another and it's a crime against humanity! Therefore, Big Bad Casey, you better take a few more Q-Tips and take that crap that's clogging your ears out for good, because I'm going to only say this once! You are worthless in the eyes of "God", which is to say ME! You do not have the right to face me and you'll never earn a title shot as I draw breath! Tonight, you're going to find out, first hand, what it means to deal with someone that has achieved a lifetime of greatness in the prime of his youth! Forget assholes like Jason Stevens, the so-called King Of Controversy! All of these people you fight against or are allying with, Big Bad Casey, do not hold a candle to the punishment that I bring each and every week! None of them are as good as me! That's why I'm the AWA Universal champion! You can choke slam me to the mat, you can hit a big boot, but somehow, I always end up the winner! You can't defeat a man like me at this point in time and since you haven't been smart in your choices, I guess I'll have to reinforce that lesson into your dismal brain! Prepare yourself, Big Bad Casey, because tonight, I'm going to be teaching you a lesson in violence, courtesy Of Kain - THE KING!

Tossing the mic away from him, Kain laughs evily as Ariel plants a deep kiss onto her man before the foursome walk to the back, roaring with laughter as now Disturbed's The Animal plays over the speakers, then the camera goes black.

Stormy Canyon: The following match is a Triple Threat Match!<.

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring from Detroit, Michigan! Weighing in at 236 lbs. Standing at 6' 2": STEVE "SWIFTY" MCVAY!<.

The lights cut out and Papa Roach hits on the sound system. Swifty appears after around twenty seconds. He pauses and stares into the crowd before slowly making his way to the ring whilst making obscenities towards the crowd. He enters the ring via the steps and through the middle rope. He gives a smirk towards the crowd before moving towards his chosen corner.

Duff: Although his tag team partner seems full of himself. At All Hallows Eve, Swifty was the weak link not Felix Payne!

Tex: Last week that is not what I saw and the world.

The opening riff for "Step By Step" is herd over the PA, as soon as the vocals kick in Jason emerges from the back with his mentor Steve Ramone following him close behind alongside Carrie, the crowd are mixed in there reaction to the trio as whilst they hate Jason they love Steve, Jason rolls into the ring and bounces of the ropes as Steve and Carrie take up positions at ringside.

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring the from Las Vegas, Nevada. Weighing in at 175 lbs. Standing at 5' 7": JASON "THE SENSATION" STEVENS!<.

Duff: That maybe but he is no Felix Payne.

Stormy Canyon: And finally! Coming to the ring from The North American Wasteland. Weighing in at 257 lbs. Standing at 6' 4": "The Future" FELIX PAYNE!<.

"Hopeless" by Breaking Benjamin starts as the pyros go off. The fans watch waiting to see what is going on. They are waiting for the new member of the AWA, but he does not show there is nothing. Then distubring images appear on the teletron with lettering saying.

Duff: What is going on? Where is "The Future"? He is going to show the whole world wrong!

Tex: I don't know, Duff but there is something appearing on the screen.

Teletron: There is No Future for Felix Payne.

Then a pan shot image appears on the teletron, a man dressed in fatigues and a gas mask. The gas mask is broken and shattered, but still on the broken beaten body AWA star, Felix Payne.

Teletron: Felix Payne did not Believe in the Truth.

Felix Payne is seen heading toward the ring, there blocking his way to the ring is Chris Shipman and Dmitri. Felix Payne tries to move around but finds himself caught from behind by Matthew Toddi and Chaos. They seem to talk but Felix tries to move past them. This is his mistake as he is double axe handled by Dmitri from behind. Falling to his knees Chris Shipman holds him back in a full nelson. Chaos smiles hitting Felix Payne in the stomach before pulling away as Toddi joins Dmitri and Chris Shipman beating Felix Payne down to a pulp. When they are done, Chaos grabs Felix's collar and then spits in his face before walking on top of him leaving him there on the ground.

Teletron: Join the Truth or Else.

Tex: This is completely despicable! Axiom is out of control! Last week they attacked hurting Vice President Penny Dreadful. Now they have beaten down someone before they even appeared for their match! This needs to be stopped!

Duff: Hey if you do not want to accept the truth that is your fault. Axiom is doing exactly what Axiom needs to convert people to the truth. Not my fault you are not a believer.

To everyone's surprise the bell rings, Swifty attacks Jason Stevens quickly with a couple of jabs then sling shooting Jason Stevens to the ropes. As Stevens slings back he ducks under the clothesline from Swifty bouncing off the ropes on his own jumping and in the air body tackles Swifty to the ground. Jason Stevens instantly latches on for a small package to Swifty. The referee gets on the ground to do the count but it is only over too quickly as the ...1 goes down Swifty kicks out without a problem.

Jason Stevens tries to pick up Swifty, but Swift lifts Stevens up and quick having Steven's family jewels falls to his knee. Jason Stevnes eyes look like they are going to pop out of his head. This is not a good sign as Swifty starts to get on the offensive. Flipping Jason Stevens over his head in a suplex! Jason Stevens hand on his back he cannnot believe this has turned against him so quickly. In the end that is all Jason Stevens remembers, Swifty takes him down quickly with his deadly Paycheck.

Winner: Swifty McVay

The Jumbo tron above the stage shows the backstage area in the Crown Coliseum in Fort Bragg, the brand new AWA International Champion, Despayre. The crowd immediately begins cheering as the man is shown to be holding Angel in the Chucky costume in one arm and a large sack in the other, walking around down the hall.

Despayre approaches a row of doors and knocks on the first available one. A few seconds pass before it opens and there stands backstage interviewer, Paige Harris. She smiles brightly at Despayre who holds his bag up to her.

Despayre: Trick or Treat!

Paige looks startled.

Paige: Oh! Oh, um...just a second. I think I have something in here.

She turns around and heads back into her dressing room while Despayre waits patiently. She returns a moment later, smiling, and drops a bag of Skittles into the bag much to Despayre's child-like delight.

Despayre: Thank you!

Paige: Enjoy!

Despayre goes on down the hall as Paige closes the door behind her.

Duff: Is that guy actually ... Trick or Treating here in the arena?

Tex: So it would seem.

Duff: Lame.

Stormy Canyon: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, the Mistress of Ceremonies for everyone's favorite spooktacular holiday, Halloween...the Mistress of the Dark...ELVIRA!

The crowd stands and a deafening roar for the famed Halloween Icon, Elvira herself, walks out onto the stage amidst a shower of whistles and catcalls for her famous buxom figure. With microphone in hand and a light hearted "rap style" music beats from the sound system and Elvira begins moving to the music and lifts the mic to her lips.

Elvira: Let me tell ya' 'bout a friend of mine.

The music fades and the crowd gives a rousing standing ovation as Elvira ends her song and prances about the stage, waving and shaking her...pumpkins before heading backstage behind the curtains.

Bill Barnhart and Big Bad Casey are relaxing in Bill's dressing room. They are discussing Bill's match with Chaos for the Number One Contendership for the Universal Title.

BIG BAD CASEY: How do you feel going into your match with Chaos?

BILL BARNHART: I feel great! And I feel every better watching Chaos decline over the past few weeks. And with you softening up Kain tonight that just means that after I defeat Chaos and take on Kain that I will get that Universal Title Belt soon.

BIG BAD CASEY: Best to you in your match buddy.

BILL BARNHART: Yeah, same to you. By the way, those Rangers did great getting into their first World Series. How about that Alex Rodriguez for the Yankees?

Casey mumbles something about Alex Rodriguez but we cannot quite make it out what he said. Casey stands up and storms out of Bill's dressing room.

BILL BARNHART: What's eating him? Guess he doesn't like Alex Rodriguez?

The cameraman leaves Bill's dressing room and he hustles off to find another wrestler to focus on.

Anthem vs. Laz

We now cut to ringside as the announcer speaks out to kick things off

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is a standard match and is scheduled for one fall, introducing from Fort Bliss,Texas he is LAAAAAAAAAZ!

The lights go low as Laz steps out on the ramp. Prayer by Disturbed blares through the PA just when claw marks appear on the screen. It switches to video footage of Laz commanding troops and various other footage from past matches. He walks down to the ring through the fog. Once there he jumps over the ropes and kneels in the centre of the ring before moving over to one corner when the opponent starts toward the ring.

Tex Martin: Well we have already seen a great way to kick off the show and now we have what should be an interesting contest

Duff Travers: Laz so far hasn't been able to pick up a victory but maybe tonight is that night but to do it he will have to beat the new comer

Stormy Canyon: ….and his opponent weighing in at 275lbs, welcome to the Asylum, AAAANNTHEM!!!

Through the massive speakers in the auditorium the beginning of the song "Go for It!" by Mc Breeze causes the fans to go ballistic as the teletron shows a waving American Flag in all its glory as the words: Can You Feel The Mojo!? appear at the bottom. The fans watch as a figure stands on the ramp hopping on one leg then another as the pyros shoot up in the air! The fans cheer as he starts to shadow box with song hitting to the left then to right just then the fireworks of red, white and blue shoot up in the air showing the figure standing at the ramp heading down with the roar of his fans, the Mojonation.

Photobucket

Standing at his six foot seven muscular frame is an African American wearing a pair of sunglasses dressed in the American red, white and blue in a vest and matching trunks. His large Afro bounces moving with him as he smiles lifting his arms in the air, which causes the fans to go crazy. He starts to slap the hands and shaking some as he walks down the ramp with his smile and personality. This is the superstar, Anthem! He walks towards the ring with a confidence and happiness he is here. Stopping before he gets to the ring, he gives the sunglasses on his head to kid he sees on his way to the ring!

Getting in the ring, he takes off his American red, white and blue vest warming up a little with some more shadow boxing in his corner looking at the fans and his opponent with the kind of swagger that has made him a fan favorite. Anthem is ready to go once the bell sounds off so Anthem and the Mojonation are ready to strike.

Tex Martin: These guys are ready to kick this match off

Duff Travers: So here we go!

Anthem and Laz lock up in a classic collar and elbow tie up but that doesn't exactly last long as it is switched out, Laz manages to go behind his opponent, arms around the waist, Anthem gets an elbow to the side of Laz's head not once but twice letting the hold go, Anthem turns around lashing out with a right hand, then another, one more before bouncing his back against the near by ropes, Anthem runs at his opponent who was ready for the attack surprising Anthem by locking in a sleeper hold. The crowd really beginning to get into this one early as these two are going toe to toe, Anthem drops to one knee and seconds later to his other knee, Laz keeps the sleeper hold in tight trying to end this one early but Anthem gets a second wind, beginning to stand up to his feet, the crowd getting behind him, cheering him on as he stands to his feet, he manages to turn his body and get behind Laz lifting him up in the air before dropping him with a back body drop, Anthem turns for the first cover attempt of the match to only receive an expected one count

The new comer stands to his feet dragging Laz up and Irish whipping him to the far ropes but Laz countered instead sending Anthem running to those ropes, as he comes back towards Laz he gets nailed with a side-walk slam , Laz hooks the leg for a side cover, referee drops in for the count but to no success as yet another one count hits the mat. Laz stands up now, the crowd excited to see where this contest is going to go from here as Laz steps over to Anthem grabbing his legs, readying for a sharpshooter but his opponent kicks him away, stands to his feet quickly, Laz runs back to the ropes, bounces off them towards Anthem who grabs Laz and hits a big body slam out of no where!

Duff Travers: Man this two are giving one quality match here

Anthem stands up and goes into the far corner stalking Laz who slowly begins to get to his feet, Anthem charges at Laz, he goes for a big boot but Laz ducks and kicks the other leg out from under his opponent

Tex Martin: Smart move by Laz

Laz finally gets to lock in the sharpshooter! Anthem is screaming in pain and is looking towards the ropes but he is too far away, Laz has it in tight but Anthem can hear the fans chanting his name now, he uses all his strength in his legs to push Laz off him, he rolls over onto his back as Laz walks back over to him, Laz goes down to grab Anthem who instead pulls Laz into a surprise package pin, referee is in quickly ONE..... TWO...., Laz manages to change the momentum and turns the pin into his own, Anthems shoulders are down ONE..... TWO.... and Anthem kicks out as the crowd is getting on edge

Tex Martin: Another near fall there...

Both men stand up but Anthem is caught by surprise right away with Laz's hand around his throat!

Duff Travers: Oh man here we go

Tex Martin: Chokeslam!

Laz hits it and Anthem goes down hard, the crowd is intense, Anthem is on his back and Laz hooks the leg for the count ONE..... TWO..... THRE...... NO!

Duff Travers: Anthem kicked out!

Laz can't believe it pulling Anthem to his feet and readying for another chokeslam, he lifts Anthem up again but this time it is countered into a huge DDT! Down goes Laz but Anthem is not done as he lifts Laz up once more this time locking in THE PATRIOT MISSILE!! Laz crashes head first once again, Laz looks out of it, Anthem hooks the leg for the count here, the referee is down to count it ONE.... TWO..... THREEE!!!

Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match by pinfall, AAAAAANNTHEM!!!

Tex Martin: A good follow up match there to our opener!

Anthem raises his arms with the ref, exits the ring, he turns to face Laz how begins getting to his feet. Anthem begins walking backwards up the ramp as Laz looks disappointed in the ring

Duff Travers: I see big things in Anthems future

Tex Martin: Sure do Duff and Laz's too but tonight was not his night!

Anthem raises his arms once more to the cheer of the crowd before turning and walking backstage as we prepare for the next segment

Winner: Anthem

Despayre is still a man on a mission for his teddy backstage, at a whole new corridor here the technicians are busy at work. He walks up to one man and holds out the bag with a smile.

Despayre: Trick or Treat!

Man: Hmm....Trick.

Despayre stares at the man and a frown creases his brow...

POW!

Despayre is walking away from the man who is laid out on the floor with his buddies standing over him. despayre shakes his stinging hand and looks at Angel and rolls his eyes.

Despayre: Okay I already know I need help with my tricks! Don't rub it in!

The arena goes dark. The fans in the stands are shooting of flashes waiting for what is inevitably to follow. Waiting for something to happen as it always does in these situations. The arena is deathly quiet now as all the fans can do is sit waiting for something to happen. Suddenly the lights go up and Penny Dreadful is laying in the center of the ring tied and gagged. A voice comes over the PA a familiar voice that has been silent the last couple months after his supposed return.

Fang (VO): They wanted me gone. They were afraid of what I could do. The Axiom, My Brother, John Irons, all of them afraid of what I could do. Only Goth knew what was really going on. ONLY My blood brother knows of my propensity for violence. So what is my blood brother doing now? He’s doing what he’s always done, playing his mind games with a new puppet. This time, I’m not going to do a damn thing to stop him. This time I’m not going to come waltzing in and try to make the world better for all of you. As you can see things have changed here in the AWA. We have a lovely new vice president. I’m sure she’s much nicer to work for than John Irons was. We have a new Universal Champion. Goth’s newest puppet, Kain. We have a new group of upstarts trying to bring the AWA to it’s knees in the seven deadly sins. We have True Power still trying to stake it’s claim and we have the Axiom, a bunch of losers who seem to think the know how to be the bad guys.

Fang lowers from the rafters and lands in the center of the ring next to Penny Dreadful. He kneels down and runs his hands along the pale creamy skin of the AWA Vice President. She squirms a bit.

Fang: Don’t worry, my dear, I’m not planning to do anything to you that you wouldn’t enjoy. No, You see I’ve come back to show the world what true evil is. I’ve come back to reclaim what was mine when I ran with The Family. I’ve come back to make my own deals. You see Goth is the Devil you all know. You hate him so much, but truthfully without him this place would not, could not exist. You can boo all you want. That my friends is a true Axiom. You see I walked away a couple month ago because I saw you all doing exactly what you did the last time. You were all attaching your little hopes and dreams to me. You were all planning to make me your new messiah. That’s not going to happen. I took my brother Jacob out for me, not for anyone else. I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m going to rule this federation like I did before. I’m going to be the Devil you don’t know.

Fang leans down and licks the helpless Vice President on her cheek. Much to Penny’s credit she’s not shedding a single tear and her eyes are narrowed in anger not in fear.

\ Fang: Oh I know that look. I know it oh so well. I’m glad you’re not afraid of me, Penny. I don’t want you to fear me. I want you to know that we shall be working closely together. In the days and months ahead we shall be working very, very closely together. I’m sure though that before that you are going to try and get me back for this. Remember who I’ve had to deal with in my career. Remember the man you are up against daily. A man who runs this company as he sees fit. A man who doesn’t care about crushing anyone that gets in his way. I should know, he’s tried to crush me several times. As you can see I may be the only thing that can keep Goth from destroying you. Now, to business. You see my dear Ms. Dreadful you see the devil you know. I come with an offer. Support me in my efforts to become Universal Champion and I help you keep my brother Goth in check. Refuse.

Fang stands up and then pulls Penny up to her feet. He looks right into her eyes and smiles and then put her into the cross of the wolf.

Fang: Refuse, and sleep forever.

Fang drops Dreadful into the Full Metal Jacket. Her chin bounces off the titanium reinforced knee and she lands back on the mat knocked cold. The Fans begin to boo Fang as that trademark sneer comes over his face and he nods approvingly at his handy work. He rolls out of the ring as EMT’s rush to the ring to check on the AWA Vice President. Insomnia goes to a commercial.

Cody Carson vs. Sin

Stormy: Now for your next bout of the night, introducing first, from Vancouver, Canada, weighing in at 232 pounds, ‘‘The Legacy ’’ Cody Carson!!!!!!!!!

The intro to “Faint” by Linkin park hits and the fans raise to their feet. The intro continues and the drums kick in then the guitar, suddenly “I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard. Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact. That everybody can see these scars. I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel, but it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, To just believe this is real.” Suddenly green, red and white pyrons hit the stage and “Are you ready?” Is said against the titantron. We quickly flash to clips from Cody Carson’s old matches as “Dragula” by rob zombie starts to play. We see Cody Carson holding a world title, and him flying off that very titantron. Suddenly smoke starts to fill the entrance and as the song cuts to the chorus, Cody Carson comes bouncing out from behind the curtain as the fans go nuts. He turns and stares up at the video and crosses his arms as the spot light hits him. He turns back to the fans and drops to his back, suddenly he kips up and more fireworks go off on the stage. He walks to the ring slapping hands with fans. He rolls under the bottom rope and quickly jumps onto the middle rope and shoots his arms out to the side in a crucifix pose. He jumps down and starts to stretch.

Tex: He is on a wining streak and nothing will change there!

Duff: Well he is against Sin so that might not happen!

Stormy: Introducing his opponent, from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 235 pounds, Sin!!!!!!!!!

The crowd goes into a mostly positive reaction for the announcement of Sin but they are once again cut short when Referee Simon Jones walks to the middle of the ring and he gives the match information to Matthew Toddi and Sin. He informs them that this is a Standard Rules Match and the first wrestler to obtain a pinfall, submission, count out, or a disqualification by his opponent, will be declared the winner and obtains the Number One Contender spot for the International Title. He asks them if they understand what this match is about and what is at stake and both of them acknowledge that they understand. Referee Jones walks over to the side of the ring where the Timekeeper is located and he directs him to ring the bell to start the match. The Timekeeper rings the bell and this match is officially underway.

Tex: Sin beat Matthew Toddi last week for an International title shot!

Duff: Both of these men are heading into this match with a win behind them, can they get another win, we will find out now!

Sin and Cody quickly approach each other in the centre of the ring and they lock up. They push for position and since they are very evenly matched neither gets an advantage. They continue to manoeuvre until finally Cody manages to back Sin into a corner. The referee demands a break. Cody breaks and then he lashes out with a punch to the jaw of Sin. Sin steps out of the corner and returns the punch to the jaw of Cody Carson. Sin runs at Cody, gives him a quick kick to the midsection and plants him down with a sharp DDT!

Tex: Sin getting the starting advantage!

Duff: He just needs to keep it up now!

Sin goes for the cover. One… Tw…Kickout! Sin gets up and pulls Cody up by his long hair and punches him in the face with an open fist, runs off of the ropes but gets drop kicked to the floor. Cody walks over to the ropes and gets up to the top rope. He faces away from Sin and balances and prepares himself to jump for the moonsault! He flies backwards but at the last second Sin gets his knees up but Cody lands on his feet and avoids the knees. He bases himself and jumps with a standing flip onto Sin. He goes for the cover. One… Two… T… Kickout! Cody gets up and climbs out of the ring and stands by the ropes. He pulls backwards and goes for a springboard move flying head first into Sin but Sin grabs him by his throat with both hands mid-air and slams him down with a double arm chokeslam. He goes for the cover. One… Two… Thr…Kickout!

Tex: This is a close one!

Duff: Sure is!

Sin picks Cody up but gets enziguiried out of nowhere and Sin ends up holding his head. Cody jumps in the air, grabs Sin’s head and pulls it down over his shoulder executing The Sudden Stop Stunner. Sin is out cold and Cody positions him by the corner. He jumps up to the top rope and flies down at Sin with The Point of Authority Corkscrew Swanton bomb! He bounces of Sin after the impact and then he roles over him and goes for the cover. One… Two… Three!!!

Tex: Cody is your winner! Told you!

Duff: Yes, where will this leave him next week!?

Stormy: Here is your winner, ‘‘The Legacy’’ Cody Carson!!!!!!!!!

Winner: Cody Carson

“renegade” by HED PE hits the arena speakers as the arena light turns red, the monster from last week walks out and he has a black pillow case with him. The giant reaches the ring Sin and Cody Carson are both still in the ring they turn to face this monster. The mysterious man enters the ring and claps his hands to the guys he drops the black pillow case and reaches in his coat and he pulls out two old destroyed wrestling toys and the big man drops down and starts playing with them like a little kid, Sin rolls out of the ring and shakes his head as he heads to the back, Cody heads for the ropes but pyros go off from under the ring and he stumbles back. The big man stands up and looks at Cody and offers him one of the wrestlers. Cody looks at the toy and starts laughing at the man. The man head pops up and the hood falls back and you see the long black hair of the man and the half mask that covers the man’s face. The man face that you can see is turning red. The man moves his head left to right as the arena lights go off.

Tex: What now, I don’t like Cody chances, this is a sick man but who is and why is he here? We need answers from Goth.

The arena lights come back on and nothing has happened. The fans are shocked and Cody is looking around… the arena lights go back out once more.

Duff: Well Tex, the lights are out once more… we need security to remove this nut case.

The arena lights stay out but a red spot light shines down on the ring and the large man is holding in his hands a title belt but the plate is against his chest.

Cody looks out side and sees his tag team title belt and looks back just as the monster of a man hold up the old AWA Asylum Championship title belt. The man smiles as he holds the belt up. The big man then holds the belt like it is be being defended and the big man starts in towards Cody. The two lock up and Cody kicks the big man in the gut and sends him back a step or two. Cody then goes in for a running clothes line but the big man hits him first. Cody is on his back when the big man picks up the Asylum title and slams it into the face of Cody. Just then a well-dressed man comes walking to the ring with a microphone. The monster grabs Cody and tosses him out of the ring. Cody face is bleeding from the title belt to the face. Cody grabs his tag title and heads to the back he reaches the back to find his partner Laz knocked out in the back with a red X on his chest.

The well-dressed man enters the ring and the fans are booing at the site of the Monster and the suit.

Lawyer: Hello AWA wrestling fans, my name is Howie Peltersnatch and I am here on business for my client. You see my boss is paying me to address the man standing in the ring with me. (the fans boo) Now listen, last week at your ppv my client sent his son to ring and he destroyed a giant of a man… that man was making his debut and because of mr…. I mean my client son made it his early retirement party. But tonight my client sent his son out with the next piece of the puzzle. He holds in his hands the original AWA Asylum title that help put this place on the map. I am no wrestling fan, but from what I have heard this title is a big part of AWA history. So listen up Goth, my client has a few demands.

Howie peltersnatch: First he wants you to know the next time security tries to stop us from entering the building we will destroy this belt and melt it down and you will lose the only original item missing from the first days of AWA.

Howie Peltersnatch: Second, we want an open wrestling contract to face any of the AWA champions at are choosing. Oh yeah don’t tell us we are not AWA wrestlers so you can’t do it.

Howie Peltersnatch: Thrid, Every week we want an office for my client son to play in, it must have a toy wrestling ring and at least 5 wrestling figures to play with it.

Howie: We will be here next week lets have these things ready to go we will be out here early in the night to make the trade… oh yeah take a close look at the next biggest thing to enter AWA.

the monster has his hood back up and two men head to the back as the fans boo.

Tex: Something about this monster doesn’t look right and this lawyer started to call someone MR. and then stopped, I asked Goth before the show if this guy was some new wrestler coming in and goth said no. He also said this man would not get back in the arena this week.

Duff: then why don’t you go tell Goth he was wrong. That monster does look familiar but it is not form any of the wrestling companies I have worked for. I hope we get some answers next week.

There is a commotion backstage so the cameras go back to see what it is. There is a quick glimpse of Cobra and Wraith fighting with someone who they have restrained with a sand bag over their head. The scene comes back to ringside as the lights start flickering. Suddenly the face of Christ Shipman appears on the big screen at the entrance ramp as the arena lights go out.

Shipman: Look at all you stupid shit stains out there in the crowd tonight. Fort Bragg, the place were the bad-asses of the American armed forces comes from? If this is really the best of the best then it is no wonder you guys can't win the sniper concentration in Canada every summer. But enough about you losers and on to real losers. Despayre, Gabriel, Synn, are you feeling cold and lonely right now? Is there something missing right now? IS there something soft and cozy you always hold that isn't there right now? Obviously as you can tell I did not take that stupid bear, I took something a little funner to play with. Observe.

Shipman laughs as a solo spotlight turns on in the middle of the ring. Fans begin looking around and slowly one by one they begin looking up and pointing. The camera looks up and sees a body attached to a cross been slowly lowered to the ring. It stops about six feet above the ring and it becomes obvious it is Fantasia. Despayre, Synn, and Gabriel then rush the ring to save her but they can't reach. Shipman is still on the screen observing everything.

Shipman: What's wrong? Can't save her? Tell you what, under the ring is a ladder. Why don't you use it?

Gabriel runs out of the ring and reaches under only to quickly jump back. His hand is bleeding a bit but he composes himself and reaches sunder again pulling out a barbed wire wrapped ladder. He brings it in the ring and sets it up. He quickly runs up it cutting his hands even more but reaches Fantasia. The whole time Shipman on the titan-tron is laughing so hard. Right as soon as Gabriel begins undoing the straps holding Fantasia up, Thy Wraith by ICP begins blaring and Wraith and Cobra appear on top of the ramp. & sins gets ready for a fight as the two men begin walking down to the ring. The crowd goes wild though as Shipman emerges from the crowd with a steel chair and nail Synn and Despayre. The music cuts as Wraith and Cobra run into the ring. Shipman knocks the ladder over causing Gabriel to fall to the floor. Wraith goes out and begins beating Gabriel as Cobra sets the ladder up again and climbs it as Shipman stands guard with the chair. Cobra manages to rip a strand of wire off of the ladder and begins rubbing it over Fantasia's face causing blood to drip to the mat below. He sees Shipman is starting to lose at the number's game and douse a cross body off the top of the ladder. He ends up rolling out of the ring with Despayre leaving Shipman alone with Synn. Shipman gets a sick smile on his face as he pulls down Synn's pants. Shipman is surprised though to see a pink thong staring him back. He quickly shakes it off and gets a twisted grin on his face. He looks at the crowd and then mounts Synn delivering a Vis-agra. He gets up as Cobra and Wraith re-enter the ring. Cobra has brought a microphone in with him and hands it to Shipman.

Shipman: Synn, I'm keeping this short and simple. Thanksgiving Massacre 3. Shipman, Synn in a Shipman House of Pain match. Loser joins winner's faction.

Shipman throws the mic on Synn as the three men hold their arms high as the blood of Fantasia drips on them.

The scene switches to the back where we see Big Bad Casey. He is seen walking around the backstage area. He sees the camera and gives a sinister looking smirk, and would like to talk to Kain about their match tonight.

Kain, I know you are not taking me lightly, nor am I taking you lightly. I just hope you are ready for a beating of a lifetime. I am willing and able to do whatever it takes to win this match.

Casey then decides to take a drink of Gatorade. As he drinks, you hear the chorus of the True Power theme song. Then he continues to discuss his match with Kain.

Kain, you act like you are the best thing since sliced bread. I will prove how wrong you are when I dominate you and defeat you in this match.

Then the scene changes as BBC walks to the ring while his 3 promos re-air.

Kain vs. Big Bad Casey

Tex: Oh this match is going to be a heavy hitter! The new Universal champion Kain going against the giant, Big Bad Casey in a nontitle match!

Duff: I never understood non-title matches. If a champion is in a match, the dang title should be on the line! Makes for more excitement.

Tex: Meh. What're you gonna do?

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is a non-title match, scheduled for one fall to a finish!

"Gather 'round us, join with the band

Together we're stronger, together we'll stand

Say what can you do, well, we've got a plan

And we're gonna take you to the promised land

It's time to remember, it's time to move on

They've pushed it too far, they don't know what they've done

If it's a fight that they want then it's a fight that they'll get

We never lose, honey so place your bets

Long ago and far away

We had a voice, you know that we had a say

We won't live for yesterday

Ready or not, we're gonna have our way

We got the numbers, yeah, we got the might

We got the strenght and we got the right

We got the reason, yeah, we got the night

So wake up the sleeping giant"

Stormy: Introducing first! To be accompanied by John and Laura, from Nashua, New Hampshire, weighing 375 pounds...Big Bad Casey!

Music hitting the AWA speakers makes the crowd cheer, the music of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun". Stepping out is Big Bad Casey on the ramp with his friend John, who is dancing on ramp with his patented moves. On Big Bad Casey's other side is his lovely beautiful wife Laura. and they are walking down together holding hands as pyrotechnics go off as he walks down the ramp. Casey and his entourage step into the ring and wait, watching the entrance atop the stage.

Tex: Casey is the largest man here in the AWA. Kain has got his work cut out for him.

"I can feel the animal inside

And my resolve is weakening

Pounding on the doors of my mind

It’s nearly overpowering

I cannot begin to describe

The hunger that I feel again

Run if you intend to survive

For the beast is coming to life

Taking form in the glimmer of this tainted moonlight

Death approaches on this night

For the animal’s soul is mine

We will be completed right before your eyes

I have no control this time

And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight"

Stormy: His opponent is accompanied by Ariel! From Detroit, Illinois, weighing 240 pounds, the current AWA Universal champion...Kain!

The first notes of the song for Disturbed's "The Animal" blare out over the speakers as the camera gets a close-up view of Kain, who pushes away the curtain and steps out backstage and now stands at the center of the ramp. He looks out at the crowd silently who boo him out of the arena, then looks straight ahead at the ring, the Universal title around his waist. He suddenly feels another presence beside him now and smirks as he looks over at Ariel, who casts a beaming smile, white teeth showing. She laughs deviously before the two plant a kiss, and then the couple hold hands and walk down the ramp. They ignore the negative fan reaction, Kain keeping his mind focused and his gaze now at the ring. As they reach the end of the ramp, Ariel plants one final kiss to her man before Kain slips his jacket off and hands it over to her. She takes the jacket and covers herself with it as she walks to the side and stares at her man, obviously happy at what she has as Kain climbs up the steps and enters the ring through the ropes. He climbs the lower-right corner and stands on the post, then looks around at the crowd before unbuckling the title that was around his waist and holding it in the air with his right hand as he pumps his left fit in the air. The entire arena goes dark, cameras flashing from the crowd as the cameras from the wrestling crew at ringside get various angles of the Universal belt close-up before zooming back a little bit to get Kain and the belt as he growls. He leaps down the post and hands over the title to the referee, then gets into his corner and waits.

Duff: Now see, if anyone in AWA can bring the big man down, you're looking at him right there! Kain is a total and complete bad ass!

Tex: No arguments there. I've never seen such a stiff worker. Those shots of Kain's are absolutely lethal.

The ell rings!

Kain (AWA Universal Champion) vs. Big Bad Casey - Non-Title Match

BBC and Kain slowly circle one another, sizing each other up, when they meet in the center of the ring and lock up. Immediately Casey's power and size come into play as he simply heaves Kain back, throwing him down to the canvas.

Tex: Whew! Great power display there.

Duff: I like Kain but c'mon. He can't go trying to match power with Big Bad Casey like that.

Kain is back up and he goes right back in for another lock up, but this time Casey uses his weight to plow right into Kain, backing him right into the ropes. The referee calls for a clean break and at the count of three, Casey rears a fist back and swings but Kain ducks and dodges, and Casey's fist strikes the turnbuckle. Casey turns around and Kain immediately unleashes a barrage of fist combinations to the big man's head, ribs and stomach. Casey is stunned by the severe blows but stops the attack by grabbing Kain and delivering a head butt right between the eyes. Kain goes down like he was shot and lands on his back. He rolls over and rises to his hands and knees and Casey sends him right back down face-first with a forearm smash to the back.

Duff: Kain needs to get some distance between him and Casey.

Tex: Easier said than done with a man that size.

Casey drags Kain up and lifts up, then drives him down with a body slam. Casey then steps back into the ropes, jumps and goes for a driving elbow but Kain rolls out of the way and Casey crashes. BBC sits up, grabbing his elbow, and a standing Kain delivers a heavy kick to Casey's back that draws a loud reaction from the crowd. He then spins around on his one foot and delivers another kick to Casey's chest.

Tex: Sweet Jesus! Did you hear that kick!?

Duff: A deaf person could hear that kick!

Kain begins to deliver stiff fists into Casey's head as the big man tries to use his arms to shield himself from the worst of it.

Tex: This is exactly what Kain needs to do! Keep the big man off his feet and strike hard!

Kain grabs at Casey's head and struggles to pull him up, grabbing him in a front face lock but before he can attempt anything, Casey picks him right up off his feet, then uses his legs to slam him forward to the mat. Casey feels his face, checking for any bloody remnants of those brutal shots from Kain, then he nonchalantly steps on Kain's stomach, stepping over him.

Duff: Oh Kain might not have any insides left after that much weight squeezed down on him!

Casey grabs Kain and Irish whips him into the ropes and connects with a roundhouse kick that sends Kain flipping backwards in a 360!

Duff: Holy...!

Tex: It is too easy to forget that as big as he is, Casey himself is an accomplished martial artist!

Casey pulls him back up and lands a blow with the palm of his hand right into Kain's sternum. Kain falls back against the ropes and a big boot from BBC sends him flying right back through the ropes and out to the arena floor. Casey's wife Laura starts to slink over ever so coyly to where he landed when Ariel heads her off, blocking her path. The crowd starts cheering as the two women stare each other down, both with fists raised!

Duff: Oh are we going to see one? Are we going to see a catfight!?

The referee jumps out of the ring and stays n between both women, keeping anything further from happening much to the fans' chagrin.

Duff: Spoil sport!

Stunned and hurt by the fall, Kain starts to get up when Casey reaches through the ropes and drags him up onto the apron and through the ropes. He Irish whips Kain and levels him with a clothesline that nearly decapitates him. Casey drops down and makes the cover.

1.....

2.....Kain kicks out!

Tex: That just showed Kain's toughness right there.

Duff: Yeah a clothesline would have put most other guys away from a man that size.

Casey pulls Kain into a seated position and slaps a claw hold into his shoulder nerve area. Kain lets out a yell and grimaces as Casey squeezes the sensitive area. The referee asks if he wants to give up but Kain shakes his head in the negative.

Duff: No, you're going to kill Kain before you make him submit.

Realizing Kain won't give up, Casey lets go of the hold. he then pulls him to his feet by the arm and short-arm clotheslines him. Standing over him, Casey then reaches down and with a single hand, grasps Kain's head in a claw hold and pulls him up. Kain is bent backwards in the standing position and Casey brings a leg up and over Kain's vulnerable head and drives down in a leg drop. Casey makes another cover.

1.....

2.....Kain gets a shoulder up.

Casey stares at the referee momentarily before going back to work. He pulls Kain up and staggers him with a heavy outward chop right to the pectorals. Casey then sends him into the corner and charges in, but Kain moves aside and Casey brings a high knee right into the turnbuckle.

Tex: Oh that could be a costly mistake right there!

Casey's hurt leg is caught over the middle rope and Kain wastes little time in taking advantage with a DDT. He rolls Casey over and makes the cover.

1.....

2.....Casey gets a shoulder up.

Wasting no time, Kain swiftly goes up to the top and vaults back with a Moonsault, crashing onto Casey in another cover.

1.....

2.....Casey kicks out again.

Duff: Yeah Kain knows he's going to have to do more to be able to keep this guy's shoulders down.

Kain opts to take advantage of the earlier mistake and he grabs Casey's leg and starts to drive his knee down into the mat no less than four times. Kain then grabs him by the same leg and wraps around into a Figure 4 leg lock.

Tex: Oh this could be it! We might get a submission!

Duff: Do you really expect a guy like Big Bad Casey to just submit?

Tex: Well if not he'll surely weaken that leg and do some serious damage.

Casey is hollering in pain as Kain puts all of his strength into it. Casey sits up, propping himself on his hands, when he reaches forward and delivers a hard blow right to Kain's head, forcing the break.

Duff: There's more than one way to escape any submission hold and you just saw a pretty good one right there.

Casey tries to get up but is favoring his knee and Kain runs in and hits him with a low dropkick to the back of the hurt knee which topples the giant in the corner. Kain grabs Casey's leg and wraps it around the bottom rope and starts working it, pulling and twisting while Casey yells out. The referee intervenes and tries to pull Kain off but when the Universal champion refuses, the official has little else t do other than issue his mandatory count to break. he gets to four before Kain releases the leg and steps back. Kain then resumes and starts kicking the hurt limb all over again. Casey manages to get to his feet, holding the ropes and Kain strikes him with a sharp martial arts kick to the chest. He kicks him similarly two more times before Casey blocks the leg, turns him around and brings him over with a head/arm suplex!

Tex: Whoa! What a move!

Casey gets up and walks tenderly on his leg where Kain is lying and pulls him up. He lands an overhead chop to Kain's chest, then follows up with a lead leg heel kick that drops him. Casey grimaces and grabs his leg.

Duff: The damage Kain inflicted on his leg is going to limit Casey's use of those kicks of his.

Tex: Kain knew what he was doing.

Casey pulls Kain up in body slam position and deposits hi in the corner across the turnbuckle and ropes. He then brings a double axe handle blow down into Kain's exposed stomach that crumbles him to the mat. Casey pulls him up and starts laying in with a jab and hook combination while the referee tries to order him to break. The ref starts his count again and this time Casey backs off at the count of four.

Duff: This is why I love it when two heels are in a match. More nasty action.

Casey's wife Laura, out of the referee's sight, reaches up and grabs Kain by the back of his tights, holding him in place so Casey can come in and bring a knee into his stomach. Ariel has now seen enough as Kain's woman charges around the ring and she spears Laura down to the ringside floor and the crowd immediately goes wild as the two women start a hellacious brawl on the ringside floor, slapping, punching and pulling hair!

Duff: Catfight! Catfight! Wooooo hooo!

The referee is completely distracted and does not see John climb up onto the apron and grab Kain and hold him. Casey gets a head of steam and rushes forward but Kain breaks loose and dives aside and Casey crashes into John, sending him crashing down to the floor below! Casey holds his head with both hands, shocked at him untimely error. he slowly turns back around and Kain jumps up and hits him with the Quickening! Casey goes down and Kain hooks the leg!

1.....

2.....

3!

Stormy: The winner of the match, Kain!

Ariel throws Laura down to the floor by the hair and joins Kain's side as he marches back up the aisle with his hands raised high.

Winner: Kain

As Casey struggles to get to his feet and finally does, the arena lights go out and the word 'Axiom' is displayed on the titantron. All of a sudden Tear Away by Drowning Pool is heard over the PA system and the 4 members of Axiom, Chaos, Matthew Toddi, Chris Shipman and Dmitri run out onto the entrance stage as the fans boo at them. They run down the entrance ramp. One they get to the ring they all enter. Axiom take down Casey and start punching and kicking him. Chaos orders Toddi to grab a chair and a table. Toddi slides the chair into the ring before sliding the table afterwards. Chaos grabs the chair and starts hitting Casey with it. He executes several chair shots to the head making Casey bleed.

Tex: What’s going to happen now?

Duff: I have no idea!

Chaos begin to talk

Chaos: Look at you, defenceless against your own will. You can do nothing about it. You were defeated badly and well, my match will go differently and you can bet on it. You cant defend yourself and lets just say your buddy Bulldog, my opponent tonight is a little busy.

Casey looks on in anger as the blood runs down his face.

Toddi: Casey, you may be Big Bad Casey but there is nothing big or bad about you! You and Bulldog are the reasons why truth is still not here in the AWA. You are turning them away and well, Bulldog isn’t able to help you right now and you are in the right position to take a beating. I am not going to bother asking you if you will join the truth as the answer will be no like everyone else! So You are going to be hurt until you convert.

Toddi gets the other members of Axiom to lift Casey to his feet. Toddi places the bent metal chair folded just in front of the table. He steps on the very top part of the chair with extreme balance and jumps through the air and grabs Casey’s head dragging him down through the table!

Tex: An MKO through the table!

Duff: Awesome! But why are they doing this!

All four men exit the ring apart from Chaos who stands looking at Casey’s dead body. All of a sudden Bulldog comes running out through the curtains onto the ramp. He runs past the Axiom members on the outside of the ring. Slides into the ring and jumps at Chaos! The two men start trading punches until Chaos slides out next to Toddi, Dmitri and Shipman. The four men walk backwards up the ramp with smiles on their faces as Bulldog checks on Casey!

Chaos vs. Bill Barnhart

Stormy: This next contest is scheduled for one fall and the winner will be the number 1 contender to the Universal Championship. Introducing first, from Oakland, California, weighing in at 240 Pounds, ‘‘Bulldog’’ Bill Barnhart!!!!!!!!!

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speaker. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris his English Bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to several clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent for the pinfall, or he is using one of his many submission moves to make them tap out. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains leading Iris on her leash (Iris is not always present at Bill's matches though - so please check his promos for the week to see if Iris was left home or not). Bill comes out dressed in one of his trademark wrestling outfits (either the pink outfit with black trim with a black heart sewn over his heart...or the black outfit with pink trim with a pink heart sewn over the heart). Iris is dressed in her Pink Diamond-Studded Dog Collar. Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink and white pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill (and Iris if she is accompanying him). Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd with a huge smile on his face even though he gets mostly boos from the crowd. He then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he (hands the leash of Iris to an attendant at ringside) climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill walks around the ring to acknowledge all the people in the crowd and he maintains his huge smile all the time although the crowd is booing him for his bad turn. Bill then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.

Tex: Who will win this contest, should be a close one!

Duff: Sure will but I’m putting my money on Chaos!

Stormy: Introducing his opponent, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 267lbs pounds, ‘‘The Monster’’ Chaos!!!!!!!!!

The lights in the arena go dark and suddenly AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long" hits over the PA and the lights from the stage burst into life as the lyrics quickly build to the chorus as Chaos makes his way out onto the stage, he raises his hands into the air as a barrage of pyro shoots upwards from the stage sending the crowd into a frenzy, Chaos continues to walk down to the ring and up the stairs, climbs into the ring and jumps to the second rope, raising his hands once more as another set of pyro shoots down from the arena roof behind Chaos, he jumps down as the music fades and he is ready to get down to business!

Tex: This man must want to win more than any other in this building!

Duff: Damn right, he lost his title last week and if he wins this week, he is one step away from being champ again.

The referee calls for the bell and the two men lock up into a collar elbow tie-up. Bulldog turns it into a side headlock and Chaos easily breaks out of it by pushing Bulldog away, turning him around and grabs Bulldog by the arm, twists around and pulls his arm around the back of Bulldog straining the arm of Bulldog. Bulldog twists his arm the other way and ends up behind Chaos. He goes for a Bulldog but Chaos reversed Bulldogs move throwing him forwards onto the canvas! Chaos picks Bulldog up and lifts him onto his shoulders facing upwards and applies the Torture Rack! The fans watch as the Monster stretches Bulldog’s body! Chaos flips him over like an Annihilator Slam but Bulldog slides out of the ring and lands on the mats outside. This does not make the Monster happy as he slides outside of the ring. He walks over towards Bulldog and kicks him a couple of times. Chaos climbs the steps and grabs the ropes at the side of him. He waits for Bulldog to get up and he jumps off but Bulldog Narrowly avoids him stepping to the side, Bulldog looks back at Chaos on the floor. He slides into the ring as the referee counts Chaos out. One… Two…Three… Four… Five… Six…

Tex: Will this be it for Chaos?

Duff: Not if he wants this badly.

Chaos gets back in the ring and Bulldog drags the former champion into the centre of the ring and kicks him a couple of times before grabbing his ankle and locking him in an Ankle Lock! Chaos knows what to do not to waste energy and roles forward pulling Bulldog onto the floor and Chaos ending up behind him. He grabs Bulldog’s ankle, stands up and applies an Ankle Lock of his own! Bulldog claws to try and reach the ropes and when he is an inch or so away Chaos pulls him backwards. Bulldog turns around onto his back and kicks Chaos away. Chaos gets back up and both men start trading punches until Bulldog ducks one, kicks Chaos in the midsection and Piledrivers him hard into the canvas! He goes for the cover! One… Two... Kickout! Bulldog picks Chaos up but gets pulled back down with a DDT. Chaos roles towards the ropes and uses the ropes to help him get to his feet. Once he does he patiently waits for Bulldog to get up and from behind he hits an Angle Slam but wait, Bulldog slipped off and hits a Bulldog!

Tex: Fast paced action we are seeing here!

Duff: Yes and Bulldog got lucky!

Bulldog goes to get back up and so does Chaos. As Bulldog is getting to his feet Chaos runs and hits a Hollywood Drive-by out of nowhere! Chaos then gets back to his feet and grabs Bulldog’s arm, dropping to the floor and rolling over. Chaos grabs Bulldog’s head and chokes him with his legs with a Triangle Choke Hold! Bulldog starts to bleed from the mouth but pushes his weight onto Chaos forcing the pin. One… Two… Three! Wait, Chaos gets his shoulder up! Chaos lets go of the hold on Bulldog and Bulldog roles away holding his throat as he coughs up blood. Chaos gets to his feet and picks Bulldog up but gets punched in the gut by him. Bulldog runs off the ropes and Bulldog falls after getting a Big Boot right to the face. Chaos falls onto him for the cover. One… Two… Kickout! Chaos gets back up but gets punched in the gut. Bulldog gets back to his feet and places Chaos in a Piledriver position. Chaos grabs Bulldog’s legs as he gets pulled backwards quickly for the Piledriver but Chaos roles forward with Bulldog’s legs still held in a pinning position! One…Two…Three!

Tex: Chaos has won!

Duff: Take a look at the man who will become the next AWA Universal champ!

Stormy: Here is your winner and the next No.1 Contender for the AWA Universal title, Chaos!!!!!!!!!

Chaos celebrates as Bulldog gets to his feet. Chaos turns and holds his hand out for Bulldog to shake. Bulldog hesitates for a second before shaking his hand. He goes to walk away but Chaos keeps hold of Bulldog’s arm pulls it over his head and swings Bulldog around and plants him down for the Angle Slam! Chaos’ theme hits the PA system as he walks out of the arena with a smug smile on his face!

Chaos

Orgy's "Opticon" begins to play and the crowd is immediately on its feet, cheering as Despayre appears atop the stage.

Tex: Now this is interesting. It's not time for the main event so what's he...?

Duff: Oh don't tell me he's actually...

But he is as Despayre goes down the entrance aisle, holding the bag for Angel out to various fans, many of who are only too happy to drop various treats and goodies as offerings for him.

The bag is starting to look as if it might threaten to burst with promise when interviewer, Tyra Foxx, enters the scene.

Tyra: Excuse me, Despayre?

Despayre turns around at the sound of his name being called and he immediately goes shy and ducksk his head behind Angel, averting his eyes.

Duff: What is it with him and babes?

Tex: Its not just women Duff. Despayre seems to react this way around any stranger.

Duff: No I mean why is it they're so attracted to him??

Tex: Jealous?

Tyra: No no, Despayre. I don't mean to upset you. I just wondered if I could ask you a little question. Just one? Please?

Despayre slowly, reluctantly, lowered his shield, and then held up a single finger with his brow quirked.

Tyra: that's right. Just one.

Despayre chews his lip and looks away, thinking. He then turns back and seems timid when he answers her.

Despayre: What do you want?

Tyra: Well last week, Hank Henry III made some startling accusations in regards to how Synn treats you backstage away from the public eye. He actually said Synn holds Angel hostage and makes you dance to...

Despayre: NO!

Tyra: N-no?

Despayre: No! Synn does NOT hurt Angel! He does NOT keep me away from him and make me do things to get him back!

Tyra: He said Synn tells everyone in the manager dressing room...

Despayre: NO! I said no! Synn doesn't even hang out in there! He stays with me and Gabriel in our room! He's not mean to Angel or me! No!

Despayre clenches his eyes shut and starts shaking his head vehemently in the negative and turns his back to her and starts up the aisle. Tyra looks guilt stricken for having caused this reaction from the mentally challenged young man when she gets a look on her face and hurries up after him.

Tyra: Despayre? Despayre, please wait. I'm sorry. I have something for you!

Despayre pauses and turns slowly toward her. Tyra opens up her purse and fishes out a large Snickers bar and holds it out to him.

Duff: Oh you have got to be joking.

Tex: Hey ... 'Bear Power' man!

Despayre stares at the candy bar and wipes the back of his hand over his eyes before holding out the bag for Tyra to drop the candy bar in. She offers Despayre a smile and he hurriedy flashes a smile back at her before rushing up the ramp and disappearing into the back. Dmitri & Chris Shipman vs. Despayre & Gabriel

Vampiria's Legacy in Blood hits as the arena goes black and the Titan Tron slowly starts to drip blood until the name of Dmitri appears. Dmitri slowly walks out from the backstage area and heads down to the ring. He does not concern himself for the people that are either exchanging their hands to touch him or to throw their drinks at him. Dmitri stops at the bottom of the ramp as his music cuts and is replaced by “Funeral of Queen Mary” by Henry Purcell as Dmitri waits for his tag team partner to make his appearance.

A funeral march of drummers, trumpets, and a choir march up the entranceway. They are shortly followed by the Reverend Chris Shipman who emerges holding a bible and cross high in the air and seemingly blesses the crowd on his way to the ring. He gets in the ring sets the bible and cross down in the middle of the ring. He begins praying before disrobing in his wrestling attire as the lights come back on and the march stops singing and playing and exits the arena. As they do Dmitri walks over to his team’s corner as Stormy’s heard on the mic.

Stormy: The following contest is your main event for the evening and is a Tornado Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, representing Axiom, weighing in at a combined 510 pounds…the team of Dmitri and Reverend Chris Shipmaaaaan!!!

The crowd mainly boos for the two Axiom members but that reaction doesn’t last long as the pulsating beat of Muse's "Uprising" suddenly begins to play over the public address system of the arena and the crowd is on its feet as atop the stage appears the tag team of Sinful Obsession aka Gabriel and Despayre, accompanied by the enigmatic Synn. Gabriel raises his hands up to the rafters as Despayre holds his teddy bear Angel up for everyone to see as Stormy’s voice is heard again.

Stormy: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined 457 pounds…the team of Gabriel and Despayre…Sinfulllll Obsessioooooon!!!

The group begins their descent down the ramp with their two singles titles and head towards the squared circle as the multitude of fans reach out to them on all sides. Gabriel slaps a hand or two along the way but his intent is solely on the ring ahead while Despayre holds Angel's paws and uses them to slap the hands reaching out to him, avoiding the touch himself. Synn hops up onto the ring apron and holds the ropes open for both of his men to step through and then sets foot inside himself. Synn then takes both men and escorts them to center ring where the lights dim down. He then sets foot in front of them and points right at the pair and an explosion of red pyros go off.

Synn then brings Gabriel and Despayre back to their corner to wait for the start of the match. Synn takes the singles titles from his men and passes them over to the timekeeper for the duration of the match.

Tex: This should be an interesting one to say the least. Two tag teams that our new tag team champions really need to watch out for.

Duff: Gabriel and Despayre weren’t in that huge tag team elimination match for the titles at All Hallow’s Eve, so if I were Laz and Cody Carson, I’d be watching them far more than I would Dmitri and Shipman, even though all members of Axiom aren’t pushovers.

Tex: I have to agree with that statement. It’s rare, I know.

Shipman stares down Gabriel right away and Despayre holds his teddy bear as Dmitri shakes his head at Despayre. The bell rings as Shipman runs right at Gabriel, looking to clothesline him to the canvas. Gabriel however ducks and Shipman runs right by him. Shipman bounces off the ropes and on his rebound, it’s Gabriel that’s able to floor Shipman with a dropkick right to the stomach. As the wind seemingly goes out of Shipman the crowd cheers a bit. Meanwhile on the other side of the ring Dmitri has given chase to Despayre and has finally cornered him. Dmitri begins to deliver punch after punch to Despayre.

Tex: And we have a mixed bag to start out with here.

Duff: Yes we do, but one of these teams will eventually gain an advantage and I’m banking on the veterans. If only they can get either Gabriel or Despayre out of the ring for a bit…

Tex: That’s an idea that’s probably on both teams’ minds.

The referee turns to where Dmitri’s punching Despayre repeatedly and tells him to lay off a bit and actually wrestle. Dmitri looks at the referee and the referee backs off. Meanwhile Shipman is back up and goes to spear Gabriel, who sidesteps the spear attempt. Gabriel follows Shipman to the ropes that he’s landed near and then scoops up Shipman with some strength and throws him out of the ring.

Tex: And there goes Shipman! An opportunity for Gabriel and Despayre comes right now!

Duff: Come on Reverend, get back in there!

Gabriel turns to his partner and nods to him. Both Gabriel and Despayre bumrush Dmitri and are able to successfully double clothesline him down to the canvas. The referee surveys the situation but lets it go. Gabriel then brings Dmitri to his feet and delivers a Russian leg sweep. Despayre applauds as he glimpses over at his teddy bear in his team’s corner. Despayre grins as Gabriel brings Dmitri up again and hands him over to Despayre. Despayre hoists up the big man and struggles a bit with him, but is able to land the Celtic Cross. They are unable to make much out of it though as Shipman is now just rolling back into the ring.

Duff: Things are about to be set straight here. Let them have it Shipman!

The crowd warns Gabriel that Shipman is coming but not quick enough. Shipman gets behind Gabriel and wastes no time in delivering the Shattered Dreams. Shipman goes for a cover… 1…2… Despayre kicks Shipman from behind forcing him off of his partner. Shipman turns to Despayre then just shakes his head. Shipman goes and grabs Despayre’s teddy bear which makes Despayre fume.

Tex: That might be a huge mistake going for that teddy bear…

Duff: Maybe. Maybe not. We’ll see.

Shipman flaunts the bear right in Despayre’s face as Dmitri is back up now. Dmitri runs at Despayre from behind and takes him out at the legs. Despayre sinks to his knees, but Gabriel suddenly runs at Shipman and suddenly connects with the Believe This!

Tex: What a jawbreaker right there!

Dmitri hears the impact and figures it’s time to move this along. He goes for the Bite of Death on Despayre, but Despayre’s face has reddened. He is able to avoid the maneuver and suddenly latches up Dmitri and takes him over with a fallaway slam as the crowd cheers.

Tex: Team Axiom in trouble here!

Duff: Wow… Chaos and Toddi won’t be pleased…

Gabriel keeps his eyes on the downed Shipman as Despayre picks up Dmitri to put him in pile driver position. Gabriel looks and sees, then leaps on top of the nearest turnbuckle and flies off, grabbing Dmitri as well. The two put together absolutely CREAM Dmitri to the canvas with the Spike Piledriver as the crowd oohs!!!

Tex: That was nasty and very impactful!

Duff: Yeah, yeah, yeah…

Both members of Sinful Obsession cover Dmitri as Shipman is slowly crawling towards where the cover is as the referee counts. 1…2… Shipman leaps towards the pile but the referee’s hand comes down for the 3 before Shipman can get there. The bell rings as Shipman pounds the mat in frustration.

Stormy: Here are your winners…Gabriel and Despayre…Sinfulll Obsessioooon!!!

The crowd reacts favorably at the result as Gabriel and Despayre roll off of Dmitri and roll out of the ring before Shipman can even think about going after them. The two retreat to the wrestler ramp and stare back into the ring, both nodding their heads as the timekeeper delivers the International and TV Championship belts back to Despayre and Gabriel.

Tex: The tag team division has to be counting their lucky stars right now that those two are singles champions. But anyways, that’s all we have time for here tonight.

Duff: NO! We can’t go off the air yet!!!

The scene in the arena, and Monday Night Insomnia, fades out on the scene of Gabriel and Despayre raising their singles championships high in the air and Shipman looking out at them, still with a very frustrated look plastered on his face…

Winners: Despayre & Gabriel
