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?

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!!!!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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…
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.
