Darkside blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out with Sapphira by his side, the owner of the AWA looks at the people as they are booing him while he has a huge grin on his face

Goth: Tonight is the night where I will find out where the true power truly is... Tonight is the night where my brother will have a final go in attempting to take me down in a one on one confrontation... And tonight? Tonight is the night where Truth is going to take another name down. A name that does not belong here, a name that does not concern me anymore... And a name that has a foul taste in my mouth...

The fans boo Goth as he grins

Goth: In six days we have another PPV.... Where we will crown champions and have dreams come true or being shattered... But in the end... I will have all the power. I will have all the tools to bring the federartion to the direction that I want it to go... and Penny? I'm sorry dear, but Play time will be over in NO TIME!!!

Goth's music hits again as the owner leaves and being booed by the crowd as we go to a commercial break

Thane vs. Hank Henry III

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our opening contest!!! The first wreslter to come down the aisle stands in at 7'0 and weighs in at 320 pounds!! Hailing from Parts Unknown!!! Thane!!!!

In the venue the lights go out with Slayer's 'South of Heaven'(Instrumental) hits the speakers. The teletron lights up with a disturbing photos of blood falling down a rocky cliff just as the ramp gets a red spotlight shining down on the one known as Thane slowly stalks down the aisle towards the ring with a his hands clinched in a ball. Thane takes his time up the steps and through the ropes just before he turns to the entrance

Hank Henry wearing a cowboy hat comes out with his limping manager Chaplin Graves, they discuss the pro and cons of the upcoming match.

Tex Martin: The big monster against the veteran, I'm curious how this is going to end up in this match.

The bell rings as the big man gets in the face of Hank and starts to go for a big right hand over the back of Hank. But the former champion uses his speed to get out of the way of the blow. Hank then uses his intelligence to kick the big man in the knee joint. Causing him to drop to a knee and runs to the ropes. Thane turns around and sees Hank coming towards him with a running clothesline as he grabs him by the throat and stands up to deliver a big time chokeslam. Thane lifts Hank up and blasts him down to the canvas with a powerful chokeslam. Thane goes for the cover, but Hank manages to kick out at the count of two.Thane looks at the referee before grabbing Hank by the head and lifts him up before going for a Side Walk Slam.

Duff Travers: Big Time Move from the big monster!!

Tex Martin: So far we see high impact moves from a man that we expect it from!!

Thane goes for the cover on Hank, but Hank manages to lift his shoulder up as Thane grabs Hank by the waist and lifts him up to execute a Powerbomb. Thane lifts Hank up, but the former champion manages to free himself and drive the big man in the middle of the ring with a Thunderous DDT as the fans go nuts. Hank rolls to the ropes, trying to catch a breather. There referee checks on Hank as he seems to be having issues to get to his feet after the many moves upon him. He converses with the referee until the referee turns around and gets blasted from behind by Hank Henry.

Tex Martin: What the???

Duff Travers: I love it!!!

Hank moves over towards Thane and suddenly grabs from within his pants and pulls something out

Hank jams the fork into the body of Thane several times before putting it back into his pants. Hank then locks Thane in his Communist Clothesline and drops the big man before going for the cover and sealing the victory as the referee has slowly gotten back to his feet and counts to three

Stormy Canyon: The winner of this match!! Hank Henry The Third!!!

Hank slides out of the ring and meets up with Chaplin Graves as the two celebrate their win while the fans boo Hank

Winner: Hank Henry III

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 Chaos, Matthew Toddi and Shaun Morgan walk out onto the entrance stagee as the fans boo at them. They look around and then walk down the entrance ramp. Some members of the Axiom go up to kids and tare their signs apart as they walk down to the ring. Once they get to the ring, Chaos and Shaun climb the steps parallel from each other and Toddi slides under the ropes. The fans boo even louder as they get down and stand in the ring. Chaos grabs Stormy’s microphone and begins to talk

Chaos: Amazing things will happen in the AWA and for the better of Axiom. At the PPV next week I WILL win the Universal title and my brother, who knows what is in store for him but it will all benefit for us. Also, we will become a team and defeat everyone and become the greatest tag team in AWA history, I did it before with my other brother in the GWA ad in fact became a tag team champion here as well as my other brother, Toddi. Would you like to say some words?

Chaos hands the microphone to Toddi.

Toddi: Thank you bro, to follow on from what my brother just said, Axiom will hold gold once again after next week’s PPV and further on from that PPV, we will gain even more gold! I doubt my brother wont win during this PPV but if he were to lose and there is the slimmest amount chance of that happening, we will still be going for gold… TAG Team Gold!!!

We cut to the announce table for a few seconds.

Tex: Wow, not only will these two team, but they may be heading for tag team freakin’ gold!

Duff: Yes, but only if they don’t score singles titles, which as they said is a slim possibility!

We cut back to the ring where Shaun Morgan is handed the microphone.

Shaun Morgan: So, this is a message to all AWA superstars who hold titles, to the AWA superstars that have sinned! No matter where you hide, these two will get you one way or another for they speak, act and breath of the truth, don’t count them out or you will be the ones who will be out for the count! Just wait, ask and you shall receive!

They walk out as we cut to another segment.

Three men walk into the back stage area, the two men that are wearing Armani suits one black and the other grey. The two suited men are talking while the man with a white and blue stripped SouthPole shirt and Diesel jeans is looking around and smiling. The man in the Black suit is Anthony Phoenix and the man in the SouthPole outfit is Travis Kahler; the other man is Anthony’s boyfriend; Thomas Finn.

Travis turns around to speak to Thomas and Anthony. Thomas moves his head slightly to the side to notice a busty red head dressed in a short black skirt and a tight white shirt with the letters “AWA” on it. He motions to Travis to turn around. When he does his eyes bulge out as a sly smile crawls across his face.

The ginger headed woman is holding a microphone with a cameraman behind her. Travis turns back to Anthony and raises his eyebrows indicating he likes what he sees as Anthony just shakes his head and sights. She moves in a bit closer as she moves the microphone up.

Foxxy: Hello AWA Universe I’m standing here with two of the newest inmates...

She has to look at her sheet to find out who they are.

Foxxy: Anthony Phoenix and Travis Kahler.

Foxxy looks at both of them trying to figure out who is whom. Seeing the confusion Travis is the first to speak up.

Travis: I’m the Franchise Travis Kahler and my friend here is the King of Controversy, Anthony Phoenix. Together we are Xtreme Violence. We are the two newest acquisitions in the asylum. Honestly, you are one fine piece of...

Anthony places a hand over the microphone as his head turns towards Travis. He gives him a stern look of disdain prompting him to stop mid-sentence. Anthony then extends his hand out for Foxxy to hand him the microphone. Reluctantly, she does so. Anthony then moves the microphone up as directs his first comment toward Foxxy.

Anthony: OK, I’ll be doing the speaking from here on out...First of all is that anyway a lady should be dressing. But then again YOU don’t look like a lady.

Foxxy looks a bit upset but all Anthony does is shrug. Anthony starts to smirk with a hint of a smile. He continues to speak at the camera.

Anthony: Now that that has been said. Let me tell the world just why the King of Controversy and the Franchise have stepped foot in the Asylum. We are here because we heard that this was the place where the best of the best competed. And if you or anyone else have done their homework they will find out that not only am I arguably one of the most decorated professional wrestlers still in active duty. You see I’m an eight time world champion...some have dared to say that I’m the best at what I do and tend to agree with them.

Anthony nods as he smiles arrogantly at the camera.

Anthony: Tonight, we are just going to scout around and see what’s in store in terms of the talent. But next week you heard it here EV will be making it’s debut. Whether it be singles or as a tag team, rest assure by the end of the night you will never forget the name of Extreme Violence and that you can is something that you can stake your life on.

Travis smiles as he holds out his hand holding down his ring finger with his thumb forming an odd ‘E’ and his other hand forming a ‘V’. Anthony starts laughing as he turns around towards Travis who starts to laugh as well. He returns the microphone back to Foxxy as the three men start to walk off.

Despayre vs. Matthew Toddi

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the AWA International Championship!!!

Truth by Seether hits the PA system. Before Matthew Toddi walks out you hear the opening lines to his theme.

''If I gave you the truth would it keep you alive.
Though I’m closer to wrong and no further from right.
And now I’m convinced on the inside something's wrong with me.
Convinced on the inside.
There’s something wrong with ME!!''

As the last word of the opening riff sounds, red and white fireworks come from above as Matthew Toddi walks through them. He walks down to the ring as he gets booed by the audience. Stormy is heard as he makes his way towards the ring.

Stormy: Introducing first, the challenger, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 225 pounds…Matthew Toddi!

Once Toddi gets to the ring he walks up the steel steps and slowly enters the ring. He walks to a turnbuckle and climbs up it. He then holds his hands above his head as the fans boo and try to throw food and drinks at him. He then gets down and waits for his opponent as his music begins to fade.

Tex: Rumor has it from the backstage area that Toddi has not been all that happy about facing Despayre a lot as of late. And thus he’s seemingly getting his wish as I have a note passed to me from the back stating that Toddi will indeed be facing different competition, regardless if he loses to Despayre tonight or defeats him and becomes the new AWA International Champion.

Duff: Perhaps that will get the competitive juices flowing inside Toddi for tonight so he can walk away with the International strap.

Tex: That remains to be seen…

The heavy beat of Orgy's 'Opticon' begins to sound over the public address system of the arena. The fans turn their attention to the stage atop the entry ramp to await the entrance of the 'disturbed one' and their wait is rewarded. Despayre steps out onto the stage, holding a teddy bear by the fuzzy arm in one hand, with Synn at his side and they are greeted enthusiastically with cheers. One of the cameras gets a great shot of the AWA International Championship around his waist as the gothic mental case briefly holds 'Angel' up in the air to let 'him' bask in the cheers too, and they then start to move along the entry aisle, and closer towards the ring as Stormy announces the arrival of the champion. Stormy: And his opponent, he is the reigning AWA International Champion, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada…weighing in at 227 pounds…Despaaaaaayrrrre!!!

The crowd continues to cheer on the International Champion as Despayre continues his way to the ring to meet once again with Matthew Toddi. Despayre’s movements are slow, methodical, and he avoids being touched by the many hands reaching out to him but allows his bear to greet the fans. Arriving at ringside, he slides "Angel" into the ring and rolls under the bottom rope himself. Again grabbing his 'security' bear, he crawls across the ring on all fours and deposits himself into a neutral corner where Synn joins him for the pre-match pep talk as Toddi eyes them both down, waiting for the bell to ring.

Tex: Despayre has been unstoppable since his AWA debut. Here’s to seeing if Toddi can derail the Despayre Express.

Duff: Someone’s going to do it eventually. It may as well be an Axiom member, since the 7 Deadly Sins stole away Shipman from them!

Tex: Shipman went over to the 7 Deadly Sins on his own. It was his choice.

The bell rings as Stormy vacates the ring and takes her normal seat at ringside by the timekeeper. The referee takes the AWA International Title belt away from Despayre and deposits it on the ring apron where one of the camera crew picks it up and tosses it in the direction of Stormy and the timekeeper.

Duff: I’m expecting Toddi to want revenge on that too!

Toddi seems to transform a bit after hearing the bell ring as he runs right at Despayre. He hits a baseball slide to Despayre, not even allowing Despayre to stand up and remove himself from his corner. The referee instructs Synn to back away from the ring. The referee kicks Angel the teddy bear out of the ring and Synn picks it up, now holding it for his comrade as Toddi begins to pound away on Despayre.

Tex: That was just wrong of the referee. That teddy bear isn’t going to do any damage.

Duff: It’s still a means of distraction, so the referee did the right thing of getting rid of it! Just look at Toddi go. He’s an animal tonight!

Toddi lifts up his left foot and stomps Despayre in the head. Despayre however takes the stomp and rolls out to the apron where he pulls himself up via the ropes. Toddi goes to knock Despayre off the ring apron, but Despayre holds on and suddenly rams his head forward right into the abdomen of Toddi. Toddi falls back towards the center of the ring as Despayre steps in between the ropes. As Toddi goes to regain his balance, Despayre comes running at him with a lariat, which connects. The crowd cheers as Toddi teeters, but boos as Toddi shakes off the impact rather quickly. Toddi looks at Despayre as Despayre looks back. Both run at one another at the same time, both thinking clothesline. However Despayre is smart enough to duck his head down so Toddi catches nothing but the air. Meanwhile Despayre drills Toddi with the clothesline, bringing him down. Despayre wastes no time as he scoops up Toddi and looks over in Synn’s direction. Synn nods as Despayre sets up Toddi for the Celtic Cross. However Toddi is alert enough to fight his way out and slide down Despayre’s back just as Despayre is about to uncork the move. Toddi rolls away from Despayre and stands back up.

Tex: Both are showing some smarts here.

Duff: Both are skilled enough now to avoid certain things, but it’ll only be a matter of time before one of them makes a mistake, and I hope it’s Despayre that does!

Despayre looks back over at Synn who shouts out some encouragement on what to do next. Toddi stands back up and bumrushes Despayre again. This time Toddi catches a piece of Despayre on the way by. Despayre recovers however and turns to face where Toddi is. However Toddi’s a half step faster and decides to take out Despayre’s right leg. He wraps his leg around Despayre’s and brings him down to the canvas. Toddi then stands up and stomps away at Despayre’s right leg as the referee warms him to stop it before beginning a 5 count.

Referee Head: 1!
2!
3!
4!

Toddi steps away right in the nick of time, avoiding being disqualified.

Duff: Toddi with an appetite for destruction here tonight as he utilized the whole 5 count there!

Tex: It goes to show how desperate he is.

Duff: Everyone in the wrestling industry should take note of what Toddi’s doing. He’s doing the right thing! You’d do the same if you were in his position Tex.

The moment Toddi steps away, Despayre reaches up for Toddi and rolls him down to the canvas. Despayre lifts himself up a bit and goes for a cover on Toddi as the crowd looks on, a bit surprised at the sudden turn of events!

Referee Head: 1!
2!

Toddi angrily powers out, just barely ahead of the referee’s three count. Toddi scrambles to his feet as Despayre does the same.

Tex: Toddi almost got duked right there!

Duff: Close, but no cigar for Despayre.

Toddi goes for a spinning wheel kick, but Despayre catches the foot of Toddi. However Toddi’s able to use his free foot to go for a scissors kick right to the back of Despayre’s neck. Despayre lets Toddi’s foot go as Despayre goes crashing to the mat. Toddi sees his window of opportunity and goes for and connects with Rolling Thunder before attempting his first pinfall attempt of the match.

Referee Head: 1!
2!

Despayre kicks out. Toddi however doesn’t allow Despayre to get very far as he quickly gets behind him and drills one knee right into the back of Despayre’s head forcing Despayre to lean forward. Toddi then plants one of his feet against Toddi’s back and then pulls Despayre’s arms back as well into a surfboard submission hold.

Duff: Now there’s something new from Toddi! He’s allowing his anger and aggression to even pull out more moves from his arsenal, ones that we rarely see or in this case, haven’t seen yet at all!

Tex: Despayre’s struggling to escape from this too. But listen to those cheers of encouragement towards Despayre. This has to be getting into the mind of Toddi.

Duff: Toddi only cares about Toddi. That I can assure you.

Despayre begins to fight his way out of the submission maneuver. Toddi sees that Despayre will eventually work his way out so he lets go of the hold a bit earlier this time so he can at least maintain an advantage over the current International Champion. He leapfrogs over Despayre’s struggling form and snaps his head forward as the crowd boos.

Tex: He’s just looking now to dislodge Despayre’s head from his body. Sickening!

Duff: Toddi’s trying to become the new International Champion. Also he’s sick of facing Despayre. Put those two together and this is the result that you get. It’s not hard to figure out Tex.

Toddi stands back up and waits now for Despayre to rise. Despayre begins to do so but as he does he hears Synn shouting out instructions. Despayre follows those instructions and dives out of the way to avoid an incoming MKO attempt from Toddi. Toddi just barely misses the head of Despayre but can’t stop his momentum. Toddi lands right on his keister as the crowd laughs at him.

Tex: That right there might be the turning point of this match!

Duff: All thanks to that lame manager of Despayre’s! Get him out of here! He doesn’t belong here!

Despayre stands up, throws himself at the nearest ropes, rebounds off of them and off the rebound nails a martial arts kick right to the gut of the now partially standing Matthew Toddi. Toddi feels this one and goes right down. Despayre goes for another cover but once again Toddi is able to kick out at 2.

Duff: Phew. And Toddi stays in this one…

The crowd boos again as Toddi kicks out. Despayre however doesn’t get frustrated as he steps back from Toddi, waiting for him to stand back up. As soon as Toddi’s up enough Despayre hooks him up and over with a snap suplex into another pinning predicament. Once AGAIN though Toddi kicks out at 2 and the boos pick up. Toddi seems to feed off of them though now as he stands right back up and throws himself towards Toddi. He runs right into Despayre, clobbering him and taking the champion off his feet. Toddi mounts Despayre as soon as his back hits the canvas. The referee makes sure that Toddi is only going after Despayre legally as Toddi begins to throw fist after fist at Despayre.

Duff: YES! Get him! He deserves every single knock you give him!

Tex: A lot don’t see things that way Duff. You’re one of a dying breed basically.

Duff: And I don’t care. All I know is that Toddi’s in town and Despayre is going DOWN!

Tex sighs at Duff’s blatant usage of Toddi’s catchphrase. Meanwhile in the ring the match continues, the referee telling Toddi to dislodge himself from his opponent’s back. Toddi stands up and waits behind Despayre now. Despayre begins to get up but as he does walks right into the MKO from Toddi as the crowd really lets Toddi have the boos. Despayre bounces hard off the canvas and Toddi goes right for a cover as the referee counts it.

Referee Head: 1!
2!
Thr-

Despayre kicks out at the exact last moment possible as the crowd heaves out a huge sigh of relief.

Duff: This one should be over!

Tex: But it’s not.

Both men get up at the same time, but it’d Despayre that reaches out and puts Toddi into a front face lock. He goes to grab Toddi’s left thigh to bring him up for the Lobotomy, but Toddi suddenly kicks Despayre right in the jewels, right in front of the referee, not even realizing what he’s done right away as Toddi continues to pound away on the champion’s back. The referee calls for the bell just as Toddi is setting up to go for another MKO.

Tex: And there’s the bell. This one ends in a disqualification!

Duff: What?!?!?! Oh suuuure…I’ll bet if Despayre had done that this match would have continued! Bullcrap!

The referee yells his decision over to Stormy Canyon. As the referee turns back around Toddi gets into his face. Meanwhile Despayre is rolling in a bit of pain over towards where Synn is standing on the ring apron with Angel. Synn helps Despayre out of the ring as the timekeeper rushes over and hands the AWA International Title back to Despayre who clutches onto it tightly.

Stormy: Here is your winner via disqualification and STILL AWA International Champion…Despaaaaaayrrrrre!!!!!!

Tex: Well the fans are no doubt happy that Despayre has won, but at what price?

Duff: He doesn’t look like a winner, nor does he deserve to be!

Tex: Toddi did it to himself. Now he can move on away from Despayre and do what he wants to do…fight someone different.

Synn begins to help Despayre back towards the backstage area however halfway up the ramp Despayre turns and staggers back towards the ringside area, straightening himself out as he gets over to where Stormy is. Synn tries to stop him but Despayre shakes his head no. He heads over to Stormy Canyon and grabs the microphone but only speaks one word after. he points to himself, then Toddi, then to the International Title belt.

Despayre: AGAIN!

Referee Head looks at Despayre, acting like he’s a crazy man. Despayre nods yes so Referee Head takes the AWA International Championship back away from Despayre and calls for the bell as Stormy makes another announcement.

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, Despayre has just asked to put his title on the line again, so the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the AWA International Championship!!!

Tex: Now this is unprecedented!

Duff: He really is a nutcase and really wants to lose the International Title, doesn’t he?

The bell rings as Toddi’s a bit in shock. Despayre cracks his knuckles and suddenly throws himself at Toddi, ramming his right shoulder right into Toddi’s gut. Despayre grabs Toddi as he’s bent over and quickly sets up for the same move he was about hit Toddi with a few moments ago. This time Despayre is able to complete the Lobotomy. Toddi falls to the mat, head and shoulders first. Despayre pins him in this form as the referee quickly drops and makes a count.

Referee Head: 1!
2!
3!!!

The referee calls for the bell again and snags the AWA International Championship belt before willingly giving it back to Despayre.

Stormy: And here is your winner and STILL AWA International Champioooon…Despaaaaayrrrrre!!!

The crowd cheers as Despayre holds the title up high now before rolling back out of the ring. Synn is clapping for him as Despayre slings the title belt over his shoulder and takes his security bear back from Synn, now holding it tightly as they make their way towards the backstage area as “Opticon” by Orgy plays loudly throughout the arena. Meanwhile Toddi is pounding the mat in frustration inside the ring while on his knees looking out towards where Despayre is.

Tex: Now Despayre looks like a winner, doesn’t he?

Duff just shakes his head as we get one more view of an angered Matthew Toddi before Insomnia fades to a commercial break…

Winner: Despayre

We cut back to the ring where we find Axiom standing in the ring. Chaos has a microphone and he begins to talk as the fans boo.

Chaos: Why do you lot have a problem with the truth? All of you people think that we are hear to annoy you but we are here to help you! But last week, something disturbing happened. Chris Shipman turned on us, I knew I couldn't trust him but the worst thing is, he lied to us! But also, did you see what he did before he attacked us? He kissed Synn! And I know that he 'likes' Synn but, let me just hand this over to Toddi.

Chaos hands the microphone over to Toddi.

Toddi: I have some 'images' to show you all, and especially Synn. Now I suggest if you have young children here in attendance that they look away now.

Photobucket Toddi: Now look at that, did Synn know about this? Here is the next image.

Photobucket Toddi: These images are disgusting, well, for Synn and Shipman so Chris, get yourself out of this because although we don't like your new ways, I always thought he looked at me weirdly, and we don't like what you are doing with Synn but you have sinned, you promised to stay with Axiom so this is what you get. Maybe your wedding wont come so soon!

Chaos takes the microphone.

Chaos: Shipman, we are not doing this for the fun of it, we are doing this fir the fun of it. You lied to Synn, he obviously knew nothing of this and I am sure this girl had no idea of what you to ‘do’!

We cut to the announce table

Tex: That is funny stuff right there!

Duff: I cant wait to see how this goes down!

We cut to a backstage segment as Axiom leave the ring.

Goth vs. Fang

Stormy: This next contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Utrecht, the Netherlands. But now residing in New York, NY, weighing in at 239 pounds, standing at 6'4 tall, ''The Gothfather of the AWA'' Goth!!!!!!!!!

Darkside blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out to the ring, he is dressed in a long black Goth like robes. He is followed to the ring by Sapphira, who is wearing her usual Goth dress. Goth stops halfway the entrance way and stares at the crowd who are booing the owner of the AWA who grins and walks further on. In the ring he lets Sapphira take off his robe and he awaits his opponent

Tex: The Gothfather of the AWA competing in a match tonight!

Duff: Lets hope this becomes regular! He used to be unstoppable!

Stormy: Itroducing his opponent, from Long Pond, PA, weighing in at 220 pounds, standing at 6'0 tall, ''The Wolf God'' Jonathan 'Fang' Porter!!!!!!!!!

The arean goes dark, a red reticule appears in the center of the ring. On the Titantron a large red F comes up as the words, Furious, Fantastic, Fabulous, Ferocious begin to flash on the screen. They flash faster and faster as the scree fills with red. Then in black letters one word remains. FEARLESS. "I'm not Afraid" by Eminem begins to play over the PA as pyros go off and standing in the centre of the shower of sparks is the "Man In Black" Fang. He's dressed in a black wife beater, black jeans, and black Airwalks with skulls on the side. He walks down to the ring looking focused on the match ahead of him. He slides into the ring and stands in the centre of the reticule. The lights go up and the crowd reacts...

Tex: I wonder how he will fare against Goth!?

Duff: This should be a close one!

The bell is rung and both men walk into the centre of the ring and they look into each other's eyes. Goth goes for a punch but Fang holds his arm up and blocks it and delivers a kick to the midsection of Goth. He lays and elbow into the back of Goth and nails him with a punch to the side of the head knocking Goth to the floor holding his head. The referee tells Fang to not throw closed fists. Fang then grabs Goth by the head and pulls him up but gets drilled by several punches to the gut and then gets tripped by Goth and lands back first on the floor. Goth then lands a fist drop on the head of Fang and then goes for the cover. One... Kickout!

Tex: Goth is on top of this match so far!

Duff: Yes, but it can all change instantly!

Goth picks Fang up but Fang drops to his knees while planting Goth's jaw into his head. Goth falls backwards into the turnbuckles holding his jaw. Fang then gets to his feet and walks over to Goth. He delivers a few powerful chops to Goth before seating him up on the top turnbuckle. He walks up to Goth and punches him in the head. He then stands on the second rope and grabs the head of Goth in his arm at the side of his body.

Tex: No way, a top rope DDT!?

Duff: This is sweet!

Fang struggles and tries to pull Goth back and drill him into the canvas but Goth is holding desperately onto the ropes and wont let him. He hits at Fang's ribs but Fang also hammers Goth in the back with his forearm. Goth pushes him away and kicks him away, Fang steps further backwards and bounces off of the ropes, runs towards Goth and clotheslines him and he falls to the concrete hitting the steel steps along the way.

Tex: Can Goth get back into this!?

Duff: He has been leading this match so far but one mistake can cost you the entire match!

The referee starts counting as Fang rests against the ropes catching his breathe. One... Two... Three … Four... Goth begins to move. Fang slides out of the ring and goes up to goth and pushes him back into the steel steps. The referee starts the count again. Fang grabs Goth but gets low blowed. He bends over in pain as Goth gets to his knees and pulls Fang into the steel steps! He then pulls on the ropes to help himself into the ring.

Tex: You can see the dent in the steel step from Fang's head!

Duff: It appears he is busted wide open!

Goth rolls back to the outside of the ring making the referee start the count yet again and picks up Fang. He throws him into the crowd barricade and then throws him into the crowd!He grabs him by the head and pulls him up and grabs him by the head and then pulls him up onto the rails, he then down into a Chaos DDT! The referee tells them to get back in the ring but Goth stays out and picks Fang back up. He takes Fang and pulls him towards the announce table. They get to the corner of the ring and Fang bushes Goth into the ring post!

Tex: This could get dangerous!

Duff: As if it hasn't been already!

Goth falls onto the apron and Fang walks over towards him, grabs him around the waist, he walks backwards slightly and then swings Goth over for the belly to belly suplex and Goth lands on the announce table hitting Duff!!

Tex: Are you alright Duff!?

Duff: DO I LOOK ALRIGHT!

Goth crawls away from the announce table and crawls towards the ring. Fang picks him up and throws him in the ring and then slides in the ring himself at the count of nine. Fang picks Goth up but gets kicked in the gut. Goth walks towards him but gets hit by an uppercut. He falls into the ropes and naturally bounces off of the ropes and gets hit in the jaw by a dropkick! Fang goes for the cover! One... Two... Thr... Kickout!

Tex: I thought that would have been it but Goth is still fighting back!

Duff: That was close!

Fang waits for Goth to get up and runs towards him and hits him with a boot to the face. Goth Is groggy and is finding it hard to stand. Fang lifts him up for the Full Metal Jacket and he flips Goth over but Goth pulls his head down as he falls and lands with a sick looking DDT! He falls onto Fang and the referee counts the cover. One... Two... Three! Kickout! At the last second Fang gets his shoulder up!

Tex: That was SO close!

Duff: Sure was!

Goth can't believe it and he gets back up and shouts at the referee to do a better job! Fang crawls towards Goth and grabs him by the legs, pulls him down and covers him with the school boy pin. One... Two... Three! Kickout! Goth just gets his shoulder up and both men get to their feet Fang throws a punch but Goth ducks and grabs the arm and the head of Fang and locks in the Gothic Dream! He then falls backwards and then locks his legs around the body of Fang hoping to make him tap out or pass out! He holds it in for a long time and you can see Fang starting to fade but he pushes his weight and pushes away from the canvas with his feet planting Goth's shoulders down! The referee counts. One... Two... Three!

Tex: What a reversal!

Duff: He did that while he had no air going in to his lungs.

Stormy: Here is your winner, Fang!!!!!!!!!

Fang stands with his arms held high as the fans cheer for him and his music plays. We cut to backstage

Winner: Fang

Chaos vs. Future

Stormy Canyon: The following match is a Hair vs. Mask Match!

Duff: Hair vs. Mask match! I love it! Chaos is going to demask that maniac!

Tex: If Chaos loses Duff to Felix Payne, his hair goes with him.

Duff: Chaos and Axiom will not allow that to happen! Felix Payne is going down! Believe or the Truth Hurts! Why I have my Axiom t-shirt!

Tex: Why does it have a red circle with a slash through it of Penny Dreadful?

Duff: Because Axiom is going to bring the truth to her again soon!

Stormy Canyon: From Orlando, Florida. Weighing in at 275 lbs. Standing at 6': "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 Chaos looks absolutely pissed off. He is looking over to where Felix Payne will be coming out ready to murder his opponent.

Duff: Now that is looking like a man ready to kill someone! I would hate to be in Felix Payne's shoes when I get out there!

Tex: Chaos has a right for anger. The Future tossed his brother into a garbage can last week on Insomnia. Felix Payne even forced retired Dmitri with injuries all in the answer to Axiom.

"Hopeless" by Breaking Benjamin rocks the arena accompanied by a massive explosion of wild pyrotechnics! Felix Payne steps out onto the stage wearing all black wrestling gear and a gas mask. He points at the ring.

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring! From The North American Wasteland. Weighing in at 174 lbs. Standing at 6. 1"': "The Future" FELIX PAYNE!

Payne spreads his arms out wide and tilts his head up to the ceiling in one hand is his trophy the mask of Axiom's Dmitri and his other hand is a set of barber sheers and a black bag!

Verse 1: "Here I lie forever. Sorrow still remains.

Will the water pull me down and wash it all away?

Come and take me over. Welcome to the game.

Will the current drag me down and carry me away?

Suddenly the light begins to fade."

Future strolls confidently down the ramp and ascends the stairs, wiping his boots on the apron. He steps through the ropes and walks to each side, pointing out into the crowd.

Hook: "(HOPELESS) I'm falling down.

(FILTHY) I can't wake up.

I can not hold on; I will not let go!

(WORTHLESS) It's over now.

(GUILTY) There's no way out.

I can not hold on; I will not let go!"

He faces camera and removes his gas mask to reveal a black mask covering the whole face. He gazes into camera as the music fades out.

Verse 2: "Silent I go under. I am not afraid.

I can see the daylight shine and slowly drift away..."

Felix stands mid-ring facing the entrance ramp. Chaos attacks The Future right away before the bell rings. Chaos is not taking any prisoners tonight. The Leader of Axiom is out for blood, they are out for vengeance. Felix Payne has been a pain in the ass to long and Chaos is going to put out the Future from his misery.

Tex: Chaos is not even waiting for the bell he is already on the Future pounding him in the ground.

Duff: Told you, Axiom is getting their revenge tonight. Chaos defeated Cody Carson and now the Future proving his boast none of her bodyguards could beat him.

The Monster pulls Felix into the ring flipping the Future over the top rope with a thud on his back. Oh Chaos is not happy at he starts to bash into the Future on the floor driving his elbow into the Future's chest. The Future looks like he is in pain and that is just what the Monster likes it. The Monster remembers the rib injury his brother had on the Future. No way, the Future healed that fast enough and it looks like that is the case after the Monster lifts and smashes the Future down to the ground with a mighty slam. The Future holds his ribs in pain, this is not going to be pretty as the Monster wraps up the Future for a Torture Rack over his shoulders. The Future proves to have other ideas striking at the Monster's eyes blinding him temporarily. The Future holds his side grabbing the rope as the Monster stumbles trying to see. The Future tries to catch his breath.

Duff: A desperate move. The Future is out of his league. Chaos is the hottest wrestler in the AWA and he is going to destroy the Future to teach the AWA a lesson not to mess with Axiom!

Tex: The tide has tuned, the Future has struck back sending Chaos down with one of his short arm clotheslines.

The Monster finds himself at the other end of spectrum now, he is facing the Future, who repeats with another short arm clothesline followed by a gut buster. Chaos holds his stomach as the Future poses for the audience with his two fingers as a pair of scissors and point to the Monster. The Future was foolish as the Monster takes advantage to the Future's arrogance. The Monster gets up grabbing the Future shoving him into the corner. The Future hits the turnbuckle hard with the power the Monster behind it and the Monster's shoulder in his gut. The Monster drives his shoulder again and again into the Future using the ropes to add power to each blow. The Monster stands up on the second rope punching the Future in the face with a couple of punches before stopping. The Future stands wobbling as he walks spinning around crashing in the middle of the ring. The Monster grins. The Monster grabs and pins the Future for the 1-2-3 count.

The fans watch in amazement as Chaos lays on top of the Future. The referee goes down to add his hand to each of the counts as he gets a number 1! The fans watch in horror.

Gleeful face is on the Monster, he is going to unmask the Future and get his revenge as the number 2 hits the mat from the referee's hand.

Axiom's head huncho has it! He has defeated all of the trials by Dreadful! He has eliminated all her bodyguards with his last hand slap but the referee's hand falls to number 3 but waves it off! The Future's shoulder is up! The referee points to Chaos what is going on! The Monster can not believe it! The Future took a hell of a punishment but found a way to keep moving! Slamming his fists into the mat before grabbing the Future up. This is ending here and now! Enough is enough! Why won't this guy go down to the Monster? Lifting the Future up to a fireman's carry this ends now. The destruction of the Future! This is how it will go the truth of Axiom shown to all in one final signature move of the Monster! That is but there is a thing about assuming! The Future reverses grabbing Chaos bringing him down to his folded knees! The Monster is shocked holding his back! The Future shakes off his head trying to get up before the Monster can. The Monster seems stronger and tougher than the Future. The Future is on the ropes desperation is what is keeping the Future going but the Monster has his rage attacking the Future. This time the Future counters with a swinging knee lift sending the Monster to the ground. The Future follows with a brutal boot to the throat move. The Monster holds his throat as the Future looks down at the Monster having found his second wind or first wind in this match if you are keeping score.

Bringing the Monster to his feet, the Future slingshots the Monster to the turnbuckle following with a spear. The Future moves up returning the blows early with some very loud hand chops to the Monster's torso. Followed by more choking by the Future as he drives his knee into Chaos's stomach. The Monster fights back sending pounding fists to the Future tossing him up then down between his knees! The Future stumbles hurt as Chaos returns the blows with some multiple German suplexes over and over again! The Future is on the ground as Chaos signals that this over with his Axiom arm 'X'. Planting his hands on the Future it is over finally he will get this one down for the count!

Tex: Talk.

Duff: Talk.

A low blow from the Future saves him from whatever move the Monster was going to apply to him. None of it was good. Driving his knee into Chaos's face, the Future sends the Monster down. Taking a breath to catch himself, the Future goes the Monster to add some more punishment. THe Monster drives a fist at the Future, but the Future catches it using the momentum the Future swings the Monster into a short arm wrench that moves quickly into a half nelson with the Future behind the Monster. The Future uses his free arm to pull the Monster's arm on the sameside of applying half nelson pulling the Monster's arm across the face of Chaos locking the Future's hand to the wrist behind the neck. Chaos's eyes nearly leave his face as he realizes he has been snatched into a sleeper submission hold from the Future's surprising speed!

Duff: What the? How the hell did he pull that off?

Tex: That is the Future's sleeper hold, the Dark Embrace!

The Monster finds himself in the middle of the ring, not near any ropes. The Future applying the sleeper hold like a master. The Monster grits his teeth, no way in hell is he losing to this masked freak! Not after everything he has done! He is not losing his hair! No! Axiom is the truth! It hurts and no matter what the Future is doing now, the Future will be down as soon as Chaos can get himself out of this! His stomach hurting and his throat hurting from where the Future spent the majority of his blows in this match. The pain is intensified from all that work to make this attack work. Precision and ruthlessness, Chaos has seen before. The kind he has faced before, the name is on his lips saying to words softly for only his opponent to hear.

Duff: What? What did Chaos say?

Tex: I don't know but the Future is saying something back..

The Future from behind applies more pressure returning the whisper back to the Monster! Chaos now tries to fight more! Wildly as his airway and blood flow are leaving him! His arms in the air trying to grab the mask of the Future, trying to pull it off. Trying something as he has grown weaker. Exhaustion from the fight and this move start taking the toll on the body of Chaos. Moving he trying but his legs too weak. The Future has him just right as he starts to see that the bell is tolling for him tonight. Those are his last thoughts and as he mutters the name of the wretched opponent but nothing comes from his mouth as he passes out.

Duff: No! No! No! Axiom is suppose to rule!.

Tex: I swear Future just added a nail to their coffin.

The hands of the Monster is falling down with each movement of the referee as the Future applies the sleeperhold to his opponent. Wrapping his arms in a cross over Chaos's chest, his Axiom sign but to the sleeping man on the mat, it looks like he is a sleeping dead man all he needs is his coffin as the bell rings the Future's win as final tonight.

Stormy Canyon: Your winner of the Hair vs. Mask Match! The...!

The Future takes the microphone from Stormy Canyon waving his finger to the veteran ring announcer. She looks surprised as the Future says something to her and walks over to the outside of the ring where his barber sheers and black bag lay sliding back into the ring to the sleeping Chaos.

Duff: Did the Future tell Stormy to shut up?

Tex: I think he did what is he doing?

Setting his supplies and the bag for the hair, the Future takes his prize quickly shaving the blonde hair that once was on Chaos's head to the black bag he brought with him. Each row over the sleeping Monster's head is shown. His locks shorn at the hands of his masked enemy. The hair that the Monster treasures more than anything. Gone at the hands of the AWA's mysterious Future. Stormy Canyon still has the microphone in her shaking hands watching.

Duff: No! No! Not Chaos's hair! He was going to shoot the Head & Shoulders commercial tomorrow!

Tex: What is the Future humming something.

Tying the bag to his satisfaction, the Future circles around the mostly bald Chaos looking at his work. Then with his legs strapping the chest of Chaos, the Future's masked hand slides over Chaos's bald head. The Future looks into the face of the Monster. They are nose to nose. As the Future takes off his mask. Long black hair falls covering the faces of Chaos and the Future as the Future plants a kiss squarely on Chaos's lips! Chaos stirs to that kiss.

Duff: Yuck! First 7 Deadly Sins! Then Shipman fell now. The Future?

Tex: Ahhh I think this is holy!.

The Monster throws the Future off of him in shock looking at the face of the Future exposed! The Future's face is pale white with crimson lips. The eyes of the Future red the color of blood. The face sharp and attractive, the face of the wrestler known as Lady Ashe! Chaos is in shock as Ashe laughs running away holding bag of hair. Chaos recovers slamming his fist down as Ashe disappears into the crowd! Finally Stormy Canyon speaks in the microphone.

Stormy Canyon: Your winner of the Hair vs. Mask Match! The Hardcore Queen! LADY ASHE!

Tex: This means Penny Dreadful is Lady Ashe's cousin!

Duff: Wait... oh God. Does that mean Penny Dreadful thinks she is a vampire too?

Winner: Lady Ashe

The camera switches to the dressing of the Seven Deadly Sins. Gabriel is seen sitting looking down at the Television title. He starts to talk to himself.

Gabriel: Television title, something I cherish the most, but tonight, it’s not about you my shiny gold buddy, it’s about getting you a running buddy. It’s about defeating Kain tonight and putting myself in the Universal title picture… <>Gabriel looks up as Synn, Despayre, Shipman, Shane and Fantasia enter the room. Gabriel nods as they walk in the door. Synn sits next to Gabriel. Resting a hand on Gabriel’s shoulder, Synn speaks.

Synn: Tonight’s the night Gabriel, are you ready to elevate yourself to the top.

Gabriel turns to Synn with a smile.

Gabriel: Of course.

Synn looks at Gabriel, tilting his head

Synn: What’s on your mind?

Gabriel: I wanna do this on my own Synn.

Synn: Meaning?

Gabriel: Meaning I wanna go down to that ring on my own, beat Kain without the help of the Sins, or anyone else, because I gotta prove to everyone that I deserve to be up here at the top.

Synn: Are you sure?

Gabriel nods.

Synn: Ok, go out there and prove to the world you are one of the best the wrestling world has to offer.

Gabriel stands up and shakes Synn’s hand, as good luck messages fill the dressing room. Gabriel exits the room, with his Television title over his shoulder. Shane leans over to Synn.

Shane: Looks like our little superstar, is growing up.

Synn nods as the camera fades back to ringside.

Kain vs. Gabriel

Tex: Okay fans we are fast coming up to the main event here at Insomnia, a non-title match between the AWA Universal champion Kain, who will be facing off against a young man who has become perhaps the fastest rising superstar in AWA history, Gabriel!

Duff: This is the kind of match I love to see Tex. two guys who flat out don't give a flying leap about the rules going toe to toe. Kain flat out admits the rules don't mean squat and we've seen Gabriel break a few here and there himself.

Tex: Yes but unlike Kain, the fans have quickly taken to Gabriel. As a member of the stable of the Seven Deadly Sins as well as on his lonesome, he has them eating out of the palm of his hand. Must be the cool factor.

Duff: Hey he doesn't need them.

Tex: Spoken like a man who has no fans.

"Behold the king. The king of kings!" Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister growls those two lines as one light shines on the center of the ramp that leads down to the ring. "On your knees dog!" he shouts, then the drums and guitars pick up as pyro explodes four times. Then we see Kain and Ariel step out and enter the spotlight, the belt on his left shoulder as the couple look around the arena from left to right, the audience literally booing them both out of the building.

Duff: And there he is, the top man in the AWA!

Tex: The AWA Universal champion, accompanied to the ring by the ever-dangerous Ariel.

Kain dismisses the boos with a shrug, then holds up the title and cackles with glee as Ariel laughs with him. The lights flare up to life and the two walk down the ramp, as cameras flash wildly, getting a picture of this legend. Once they reach the bottom, Kain hands over the title to Ariel, then slips off the jacket and puts it around her shoulders, Ariel thanking him with a quick smile and nod before handing the title back to Kain. The couple briefly kiss, then Kain climbs up the steps with confidence and enters the ring as Ariel takes her place ringside, her eyes now focused on her man. Kain yells for the lights to go down and the spotlight to be on him as he stands in the center of the ring. He looks at the camera before him and roars angrily as green, yellow, red, then black pyro explodes from all corners of the ring four times before the lights come back to life once more. Kain then faces the referee, hands him the title, then walks over to his corner, turns around, his game face on, and waits for his opponent(s) as Motorhead's "King Of Kings" dies down.

The opening chords to Nirvana’s “Come As You Are” starts to blast through the speakers, as the lights drop down. Flashing purple and blue lights flicker through the darkness of the cornered off area, as the words “You will believe…” covers the big screen. Smoke appears in the ring as the words on the screen changes to “… what I make you believe”. A flash of bright light jumps up from the middle of the ring, and Gabriel is seen standing already in the ring amongst the smoke and lights, wearing black leather pants and a black leather waist coat, a long chain hanging from his neck, with a huge medallion with the letter G in a circle. Over his right shoulder, the AWA Television title sits comfortably. He steps back, leaning back against the ropes, looking around the fans with an unfazed look across his face as he removes his jacket and lifting the heavy chain over his neck and hands it to a referee as the music stops.

Stormy Canyon: The following non-title contest is the Main Event of Insomnia, and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied by Ariel! From Detroit, Illinois, weighing 240 pounds, he is the current AWA Universal Champion ... this is Kain!

Kain raises both hands holding the AWA Universal title belt high in the air as Ariel applauds her man/meal ticket. He steps back to his corner and passes the belt to her to hold onto.,/I>

Stormy: His opponent is the AWA Television Champion! From Parts Unknown, weighing 230 pounds ... Gabriel!

Unlike his opponent Kain, Gabriel is greeted by a vast majority of cheers from the capacity crowd on hand in the Board Walk Hall. His fist is raised in acknowledgment as his eyes never leave those of Kain's. He slowly removes the TV belt from his waist and sets it back in his corner while the referee Richard Head calls both men to the center of the ring and goes over the last minute rules of the match.

Tex: Look at the intensity in both men's eyes.

Both men are staring daggers at one another, when Kain reaches forward and delivers a one handed shove to Gabriel, sending him back a couple steps. Gabriel steps right back up at Kain and smiles -- right before he bitch slaps the taste out of Kain's mouth!

Duff: Wooo! What a shot!

Tex: Gabriel is showing he is definitely NOT intimidated by Kain's reputation!

Kain rubs his sore jaw as he backs into his corner. Gabriel does the same when the referee calls for the bell!

Kain vs. Gabriel - Non-Title Main Event

Kain and Gabriel circle the perimeter of the ring, sizing each other up. they lock up collar and elbow, and Kain ducks behind him in a rear waistlock. He lifts Gabriel off of the mat and takes him down to the mat. Both men then start struggling around, trying to get hold of the other on the mat, and Kain constantly retaining the waistlock at one point. Kain finally cinches it in but Gabriel manages to grab the middle rope and the 'Head' referee makes Kain let go.

Duff: Gabriel does not want to try to wrestle Kain on the mat like that. The man's too damned skilled.

The two men pause before locking up again, and again Kain ducks swiftly behind and locks on the rear waistlock. He tries to lift him up and over but Gabriel locks his foot behind Kain's leg, blocking it. Kain instead counters and takes him down again, then switches in a chain wresting maneuver and rolls over onto Gabriel's back and grabs him in a front facelock. Gabriel soon counters by twisting back and turning it into a hammerlock on Kain, wrenching his arm painfully up his back.

Tex: We're seeing some beautiful chain wrestling here in the starting moments of this match.

Kain manages to get first to his knees, then his feet, and he reverses it into his own hammerlock on Gabriel. Gabriel reaches back and uses his free arm to grab him in a side headlock, breaking the hold on him. Gabriel keeps a tight grip around Kain's head, squeezing him and wrenching his neck. Kain tries to send him into the ropes to break it, but Gabriel holds on right and retains the hold, dragging Kain down to the mat. Gabriel then switches about, putting him in a front facelock and dropping down to his stomach to keep all of his weight atop Kain. Kain maneuvers around on the mat, until he is close enough and he stretches his leg to put it on the middle rope.

The referee sees it and calls for Gabriel to let him go. Gabriel does so and then slaps his hand right across Kain's backside. Kain jumps up and menaces Gabriel, who holds his hands up innocently and points at the referee. Kain starts cursing at the official when Gabriel quickly rolls him up from behind!

1.....Kain quickly kicks out!

Kain jumps up and Gabriel grabs him into the headlock again and hip rolls him over to the mat, keeping hold of him. Kain kicks and struggles, and Ariel shouts in accusation of Gabriel pulling the tights. The referee questions Gabriel but he of course, rightfully denies it. He cranks it on and Kain fights his way to his feet. He backs Gabriel into the ropes and throws him off. Gabriel comes off and hits Kain with a shoulder tackle, dropping him. Gabriel then runs into the ropes and Kain drops down. Gabriel jumps over him, rebounds off the far side but Kain catches him in a bearhug and throws him over in an overhead suplex!

Duff: Ha ha! Oh boy did he catch him there!

Kain pushes Gabriel back to the mat and covers him, hooking a leg.

1.....

2.....Gabriel kicks out.

Kain delivers an overhead right to Gabriel’s head, then drags him up and sends him into the corner. Kain comes in and lands a fist to his ribs, then a shot to the jaw. he then swiftly starts delivering repeated blows to his head and body while Gabriel tries to shield himself and the referee orders him to back off.

Tex: Gabriel needs to get out of the corner! Those blows of Kain's are lethal!

Kain finally backs up a step as per the referee's demand, then immediately goes back in and starts driving his shoulder into the TV champion's stomach. Kain grabs Gabriel by his long hair and swings him around and through the ropes, dumping him out to the floor. Kain allows the official to ward him away from the ropes, causing enough of a distraction to allow Ariel to run around and kick Gabriel as hard as she ca with the pointed toe of her shoe!

Tex: Oh come on! Get her away from there!

Duff: See? This is exactly why Gabriel was dumb to tell the other Sins to stay in the back!

Ariel runs back around and ducks down so the referee can only see Gabriel on the ringside floor and he begins to count. Not wanting a count out victory, Kain jumps through the ropes and drops to the floor. he peels Gabriel off of the floor and slams his head into the announcer's table.

Tex: Hey! Back off! Not here!

Duff: It's great having the best views of the action but this is a bit much!

Kain grabs Gabriel's arm and whips him into the steps with a resounding crash. Gabriel arches his back in pain and staggers outward. Kain charges in but Gabriel quickly ducks down and backdrops the Universal champion up and over, right on top of the metal steps!

Duff: oh Christ! Did you catch that!?

Tex: Noone caught Kain! That was one of the worst falls I've seen here! He might have broken his back!

Gabriel rolls back into the ring as Kain holds his back in pain and slowly rolls off of where he had landed on the steps where Ariel greets him in concern. The referee climbs out to check on Kain as Gabriel, and the fans, wait.

Tex: No this does not look good at all.

Richard Head asks Kain if he can continue and Kain grabs at his pant leg, refusing to allow him to stop this match on his behalf. Ariel steps back, worry in her eyes, as Kain starts pulling himself up the steps and he finally manages to make it back into the ring.

Tex: You can't deny the fact Kain is a fighter.

Duff: He's probably worried about getting Goth mad at him.

Gabriel pulls him up and brings him over with a head and arm suplex. He rolls over into a cover.

1.....

2.....Kain kicks out.

Tex: After that nasty fall he took, I wouldn't have been surprised had he not been able to kick out.

Duff: Look at how Kain's ribs are all bruised up. He might have a few broken ones after that landing.

Gabriel pulls him up and waistlocks him from behind, then German suplexes him. Gabriel holds on and performs a second, and then finally a third and bridges pin.

1.....

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

Gabriel gets up and holds onto one of Kain's legs and turns him over into a half crab with one of his knees buries in the small of Kain's back, working him over.

Tex: Look at how he has Kain's back and ribcage twisted. If Kain won't submit, Gabriel just might keep that hold on for the torture factor alone. Ariel screams into the ring and is pounding the ring apron. Kain shakes his head no as his eyes are clenched shut, and he tries to reach for the ropes but can't quite make it. Ariel then pushes the rope forward and into his hand.

Tex: Oh come on! That's not right!

Duff: Right or not. He has the ropes so Gabriel has to break.

The referee did in fact see Ariel's action but still has little choice to order Gabriel to release the hold. Gabriel reluctantly does so and glares out at the woman who taunts him openly, and the Richard Head orders her to stay out of the match proceedings.

Duff: Yeah! Like she'll listen to that idiot. P>Gabriel turns back around and walks right into a Whirlwind Fist from Kain, knocking him flat on his back!

Duff: And that is exactly why it pays to have someone at ringside with you! The distractions are worth everything in the long run!

Tex: Including your dignity.

Now although Kain had hit the devastating maneuver, he is still hurt and is having trouble following up. Gabriel is on the mat, dazed from the blow to the head. Kain crawls over and covers him in a pin attempt.

1.....

2.....Gabriel shoots his right shoulder up.

Kain grabs the woozy Gabriel up and goes to send him into the ropes but Gabriel reverses the Irish whip. Gabriel ducks down and Kain brings a boot up into him that staggers his opponent. Kain then nails a DDT! Kain with the cover!

1.....

2.....Gabriel gets a shoulder up.

Kain grabs him by the hair and starts to pull him up but Gabriel sweeps his legs out from under him and somersaults over him into a bridging combination.

1.....

2.....

Kain rolls out and ends up with his knees on Gabriel's shoulders.

1.....

2.....

Gabriel uses his legs to sunset flip Kain.

1.....

2.....

Kain rolls out backwards and folds Gabriel into a jackknife cover.

1.....

2.....Gabriel kicks out!

Tex: Oh my god, what a series of pinfall exchanges!

Both men get up and Kain lunges for a clothesline but Gabriel ducks. Kain turns around and Gabriel connects with a spinning heel kick. Gabriel makes the cover and hooks the near leg.

1.....

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

Tex: My god neither man is wasting time any longer! They both want this win!

Duff: It doesn't seem like either is going to be able to put the other away.

Gabriel climbs out onto the apron and perches himself up onto the top turnbuckle. Kain gets up and doesn't see him. he turns around and Gabriel jumps for missle dropkick but Kain moves and Gabriel crashes!

Duff: He'll never get his pilot's license with landings like that!

Kain grabs him and sets Gabriel up for the Malice, but the injuries to his ribs allows Gabriel to squirm free. Gabriel then darts off of the ropes and goes for a clothesline just as Kain goes for a second Whirlwind Fist but unfortunately for both, the referee gets caught in between them and he takes the brunt of it!

Tex: Oh no! Referee Richard Head is down!

Duff: That just figures!

The participants are oblivious to the fact and they each rebound from the ropes and end up clotheslining one another! Kain drops to the center ring and Gabriel falls back into the bottom rope.

Ariel now sees her chance and she runs over and grabs a power cord, then wraps it tightly around Gabriel's throat and starts choking the life out of him! Gabriel struggles and sputters as the cord tightens even more!

Tex: Stop her! Get security! She has no business butting into this yet again!

Duff: Who's going to stop her?? The referee is down and out!

The crowd starts cheering!

Tex: Here comes your answer Duff!

Despayre runs out at top speed and turns the corner sharply. He grabs Ariel's hands and pries them forcibly from his buddy's throat! Surprised, Ariel turns and takes a swing at him but Despayre bats her fists away and he takes two handfuls of her hair and starts pulling her back and along the ringside area!

Duff: What the hell does he think he's doing!?

Tex: He *thinks* he's getting her away from Gabriel, that's what!

The crowd stands and cheers as Ariel screams as she is pulled by sheer force away from the ring and towards the aisle. She scratches and slaps at his hands but Despayre's grip on her locks is tight and he is not letting go! She collapses her body to try and force him to do so but this tactic works against her as he just continues to pull!

Duff: I cannot believe that freak is treating a lady like this!

Tex: He's not. he's treating Ariel like this.

Ariel is screaming as she is dragged by the hair to the back! Referee Hal Smith runs out as Despayre vanishes behind the entrance, taking Ariel along with him!

Hal Smith checks on the downed Richard Head but the senior referee is still out. The two grapplers have returned to their feet and Gabriel runs at Kain and jumps for a Hurricanrana but Kain just collapses, driving him down in a powerbomb and covers him! Hl takes over and makes the count!

1.....

2.....Gabriel gets the shoulder up!

Tex: So close!

Screaming in frustration, Kain grabs Gabriel and simply throws him out through the ropes and unceremoniously to the floor outside! He then bats the referee's hands away from him and stomps around the ring as the official starts his mandatory count on Gabriel.

1...

2...

3...

4...

5...

7...

Gabriel manages to use the apron to drag himself to his feet. He starts to climb onto the apron when Kain reaches over the ropes, grabs his hair and assists him in dragging him up. Kain reaches and scoops Gabriel up and brings him back into the ring the hard way with a scoop slam, but on the way down Gabriel hooks his leg and rolls him over into a pin!

1.....

2.....

3!

Tex: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! Gabriel did it! Gabriel just pinned the AWA Universal champion!

Duff: I am..I am...and it came from out of nowhere! Kain got overconfident and Gabriel simply outsmarted him!

The crowd cheers wildly as the referee raises Gabriel's hand in victory!

Stormy: The winner of is match...Gabriel!

Kain is shocked! He is furious! he charges across the ring and swings at Gabriel but Gabriel ducks and strikes him in the back of the head with the TV title belt, leveling the top man! Gabriel backs up a step, anger on his face and slices a thumb over his throat. he then looks into the camera and points at the downed Kain and says aloud;

"Any. Time. I. WANT!" Winner: Gabriel

We can see the Universal Champion slowly getting to his feet as the match has ended and Gabriel already has left the arena. We can see Kain's woman getting in the ring to console her husband. Suddenly out of the backstage area we can see both Chaos and Matthew Toddi walk out to the ring. The two members of the Axxiom that has been acquired by Goth last week enters the ring and help out Kain. Chaos assists Kain to the ropes where suddenly we see Matthew Toddi grabbing Kain's wife and delivers a big time MKO in the middle of the ring

Tex: What the???

Kian wants to run to the aid of his woman, but gets grabbed by Chaos as the Monster delivers a big time Annihilator Slam. This causes Kain to be driven big time in the centre of the rign where Chaos then puts him in the Ankle Lock. Trying to break his ankle when suddenly Gothminiter's Darkside blasts across the sound system and the owner of the AWA walks out to the ring. Goth has put the legscissors on Kain's leg, making sure that Kain will not counter the move or break out of it. Kain is tapping hard on the canvas as he is screaming in agonizing pain as Goth gets in the ring and drops toward's Kains face.

Goth: How do you feel now Kain? Does it hurt?

Kain screams out in pain as he tries to grab Goth

Goth: Your the King??? Your pathetic!! Look at you, I had to listen to you bitch and moan every God Damn Week about everything!! About how great you really are!! How you are the very best!! How you are going to rule the world!! And now your on your stomach, pleading like a lttle bitch!! You know something Kain? I don't need you anymore!! The AWA doesn't need you anymore!! I have ordered Chaos to break your leg and Damnit, he's going to break your damn ankle like I'm going to end your career!!

Tex: Oh my goodness!! That's our champion!!!

Goth: Break it!!! Listen to me Kain, you were just like Jason Stevens. You were just a toy for the Devil of the AWA. I never needed you, I new you were going to backstab me one day and that day will never come!! Just like the song Master Of Puppets from Metallica!! I'm pulling your strings!! And guess what? I just cut YOU OFF!! YOUR FIRED!!!

With that Chaos finally breask the ankle of Kain and the three men stand over the broken body of the Universal champion that got fired and stripped of his championship belt. Goth orders Toddi to grab his woman and toss her on top of the former champion before he grabs the championship belt and walk out of the ring when the show slowly fades to darkness

The camera returns to the backstage area, in the now familiar office for AWA Vice-President, Penny Dreadful. She busies herself typing at the computer when there is a resounding knock at the door.

Penny: Come in!

And in walks Synn, and Desp follows looking everywhere at once, curious in nature. Synn turns from him to Penny and says:

Synn: Forgive me. I know this was to be between our ears only but I'd rather he not have been left on his own for too long."

Penny looks at Despayre then to Synn.

Penny: He gets lost often, Mr. Synn?

Synn: He's not very good with strangers actually, or unfamiliar surroundings.

He looks from Despayre who is practically hidden from Penny's view and smiles at her.

Synn: And yes.

Penny: How strange for such an accomplished wrestler as he has become here. Chaos would sell out his own brother to get a title shot for his Axiom.

Synn: Yes well, we all have our unique moments in life, do we not? Being normal, I believe that rather denotes a lack of courage. I myself have never been insulted as being such. This young man, has yet to have the displeasure either. Actually none of the athletes I have shared my career with have been what you would call, 'normal'.

His green eyes smolder as they focus on her.

Synn: And you Miss Dreadful?

Penny: Who is truly normal? Not anyone here in the Asylum Wrestling Alliance. Certainly not I.

She flashes her teeth, two of them look sharp but disappear under her lips.

Penny: Please take a seat both of you. Tea?

Synn: Only if it has copious amounts of whiskey in it.

Synn smirks as he pulls a chair around and has a seat across from her. He turns his head up and makes to beckon Despayre to follow suit but the young wrestler's attentions are seemingly glued across the office. Biting his lower lip, Despayre slowly meanders past the desk and closer to the bookcase where resting upon it is a "female" teddy bear that seemingly bears a close resemblance to Penny herself.

Synn turns back to her with a smile showing off his pearly whites.

Synn: Oh my dear I have underestimated your craftiness.

She looks over her shoulder with a smile.

Penny: Oh my teddy bear. Alice?

She talks while pouring the tea.

Penny: She is a beauty is she not. No whisky though unless you brought your own. Alcohol does not affect me as it would you I suspect.

Smiling, Synn indeed does open his dress jacket and takes out a small flask and adds a small amount to his own serving. He sighs.

Synn: Unfortunately it does not have the affect it once did. I think I continue more for the comforting memories of when I could get blitzed rather easily.

Despayre: Helloo.

The innocent voice draws their attention over to the bookcase where Despayre had seated Angel beside "Alice" and his hands were behind his back and head tilted to the side. It appeared he was in the midst of his own little conversation and Synn chuckled.

Sometimes I do wish I knew what he believed that bear was saying to him.

He wrinkles his brow at her while taking a drink.

Synn: You of course understand you'll have a hard time now separating him from your little one?

Penny: Oh so it is just Angel that would have a hard time being separated?

She flicks her hand at Alice.

Penny: Teddy Bears it is hard to control them, I swear.

Alice: Lo, who are you?

Penny: See what I mean, Synn? You indulge in your sins they grow stale unless a new challenge comes to face you. A challenge that you know is coming hard. Goth is cutting the shared pie in this fed with Axiom as you saw earlier tonight. Even stripping Gabriel of his championship in spite.

Dreadful leans back.

Penny: Seems we share the same enemy now.

Despayre beams in joy at the female teddy bear's "voice" and he reaches back blindly for a chair and he pulls it around and seats himself in front of the bookcase, oblivious to the goings on behind him. Synn turns back around and the smile he had wore earlier is now gone. His eyes flash a dangerous emerald green and he gives Penny a nod.

Synn: Yes, the old adage of 'the enemy of my enemy'. I have heard it often enough in my time but usually I am the one that is not the lesser of two evils.

He steeples his fingers below his chin.

Synn: I do admit a certain intriguing notion against this man Goth. I do not care for the manipulations he deals when I am not the one behind them. I much prefer being the puppet master. Its part of my charm."

Penny: He has slighted you and yorn, ignoring you. I don't recall not once Goth inviting you to the office. Or even talking to you as you had two AWA Championships. I offer you and Gabriel a chance to get back at Goth and for Gabriel to once again have a chance to have AWA Gold around his waist.

Synn: Oh you do have a way with words. I can't imagine any choices made in this room will please either Goth or what is left of Axiom. As I understand it, Chaos and Matthew are a tad perturbed at my new found...'friendship' with Shipman.

Penny: I do admit, I thought Shipman would have been with you other than Despayre. *sips her tea* I need someone to represent my side at next week's pay per view. Fang gave a challenge to me and Goth to bring in a champion to face off against him. The winner gets Fang's loyalty. Well with Kain beaten to a pulp losing to Gabriel. Which resulted in Kain's destruction at Axiom's hands and Gabriel being stripped of his belt. How about have Gabriel represent me. Goth put the Universal Championship as the other prize. Gabriel beat Kain and Kain beat Chaos. Gabriel wins, your 7 Deadly Sins have the Universal and International Championship. And I have Fang as my new bodyguard, my revenge for him kidnapping me.

She pauses, then continues her sales pitch.

Penny: You of course would piss Goth off, he did not get his brother's loyalty and you put Axiom down carrying both major championships. Of course, if you and yours are not up to the task well....

Synn smiles.

Synn: I do have to admit under most circumstances such as these, I tend to sit back and wait until both forces have destroyed one another, and then I pick up the pieces. I don't think I'll manage that role this time. Gabriel is already quite upset with Axiom and their mistreatment of you. Shipman will be of natural odds with his former allies. You seem to know my motives already. And Despayre...

Despayre: I'm in.

The timid voice draws their attentions and he's standing near them again with his bear cradled in his arms. Dreadful looks over to hear this as well.

Synn: You are?

Synn smiles, slightly taken back.

Synn: And what brought this about?

Despayre: Her.

He points at Alice the Bear.

Despayre: She and Angel talked. They said it would be the gentlemanly thing to do.

Synn looks at Penny.

Synn: Well. Teddy bear to teddy bear negotiations. I believe there really is a first time for everything in this world.

Penny smiles.

Penny: So the Teddy Bears have it. And should we seal our deal then, Synn?

Synn doesn't even speak a word. The corner of his lip turns upward and he extends his right hand.

Dreadful smiles takes his hand with hers.
