We cut now to ringside as “Burn” by Papa Roach hits the PA system and out walks the Axiom's leader followed in tow by his younger brother Toddi just a few feet behind him, the two walk down to ringside to a chorus of boos, Toddi heads into the ring while Chaos walks around the ringside and grabs a microphone before rolling in under the bottom rope, he stands up and waits for the boos to subside

Chaos: Ladies and Gentlemen please... I have something important to say here... so please shut up!

The crowd reacts with another rush of boos towards the Monster who grins before raising the microphone once more to talk

Chaos: You see last week I fought, I fought hard, tooth and nail to do what I had to in order to win the AWA Tag Team titles, I put everything to one side but then once again this year continues to go against me, at every turn something just goes wrong for me and last week John Gold didn't man up and put differences aside he decided to join the boss, he took the easy way out, he could be standing here next to me as a champion but instead he is now playing second fiddle to Goth but there we are not everyone has my intellect!

The crowd chants “You suck!” over and over to Chaos who just pays not attention at all, shaking his head before continuing on with his point

Chaos: However that is not why I am out here, you see with Wrestle Quest 3 just a few short weeks away I think its time to put the nail in the coffin of an issue that has affected me all year, the one thing that turned me from a champion at the final quarter of last year to a loser this year, the accident... roll the footage

We cut to the big screen where we see Chaos storming off to the parking lot in a mood after having lost a tag team match with Toddi just moments before, he reaches his car and slams the hood of his car and shakes his head, he gets into the car and sighs for a moment and as he is about to drive off suddenly a second car drives into the Chaos' car! After a few seconds that car backs up and drives off into the distance, Chaos sits in the car motionless as the commentators sits silent.

We now cut back to present and Chaos lifts the microphone once more shaking his bald head once more picking up where he left off

Chaos: For a while I assumed I knew who did this, I was so sure but then as I dug deeper I found myself to be looking in the wrong direction, I have been in that locker room on a man hunt, trying to figure out who would dare do this to me... I don’t need to know why, that part is obvious, who ever did this wanted to take me out, to ruin my legacy and rise theirs my doing so, sure enough they have screwed my 2011 thus far but I am going to put an end to that.... my putting an end to them!!

Chaos: So why doesn't the person who is responsible for this step forward, take responsibility for their actions and accept an ass kicking at WrestleQuest....

The crowd waits as does Chaos, silence dawns over the arena, no music, no one steps forward

Chaos: Come on... now is your chance!

That second Chaos is spun around by Toddi and hit with a big time MKO!! Down goes the Monster

Duff: What the hell!!

Tex: NO!

Toddi stands tall over Chaos with a grin not picking up the microphone, not saying a word, his grin says it all as he taunts to the crowd who boo him loudly and chant “ass hole!” at the younger brother

Duff: It was Toddi all this time....

Tex: But why damn it... answer me that.. Chaos helped that kid be where he is

Duff: I don't know what is going through his head Tex, only he can answer that... and what does this mean for the Axiom?

Toddi then kicks Chaos a number of times until he rolls out of the ring and onto the floor, Toddi rolls under the bottom rope and under the ring grabbing a steel chair, Chaos starts standing to his feet and stumbling up the ramp a few feet, Toddi raises the chair and smashes it down hard across the back of his brother! And again!

Tex: Somebody stop this...

Chaos hits the steel ramp, he crawls towards the top of the ramp, the crowds heat towards Toddi is at boiling point, really bring down the boos hard on the youngster as we reach the top of the ramp Toddi allows Chaos to stands to his feet, Chaos turns around as Toddi swings with the chair.... and Chaos ducks, he lands a punch on Toddi and another making him drop the chair, another right hand, one big shot to face sends Toddi onto his back, looking up at Chaos who grabs the chair, the crowd now suddenly getting behind Chaos

Tex: The tables have turned!

Duff: Toddi might just be in some trouble here

He raises the chair standing over Toddi who then quickly kicks him between the legs, Chaos drops the chair, hits to his knees and holds his family jewels, Toddi speedily rolls to his feet and begins to have a sadistic grin appear across his face, grabbing the chair once more Toddi drives it across the back of Chaos, he throws the chair down and begins to walk off raising his hands in the air much to the disapproval of the crowd.... but then he stops.... looks back at Chaos and laughs, turns around and head back towards his brother

Tex: Oh now what!? Don't we have security?

Toddi drags his brother to his feet spits in his face, kicks him in the gut then without hesitance throws Chaos right off the side of the stage and through a set of production tables at the side of the ramp!

Duff: MY GOD!!

Tex: Toddi just sent Chaos to hell.... this is not right...

Duff: Toddi just shocked the world!

Toddi looks over Chaos from the top of the ramp as his music now hits and he walks off stage and we then see a shot of Chaos laying through a table, out cold on the concrete as the crowd now sit in stunned silence before we cut to commercial break

Seven days of the Wolves plays and the man in black walks out to the boos of the crowd. He holds up the International Championship and smiles as he walks to the ring with his lovely wife Brenda. The man in black places the International Title over his shoulder and pulls out a microphone.

Fang: Once again I prove to the world that I am the best in the business today….

Crowd YOU GOT LUCKY, YOU GOT LUCKY

Fang: Tell me something I didn’t already know. Yes, I got lucky last week when I beat Max Maxim and Hank Henry III by making out of the cage an to the floor first. I must say that lady luck was on my side that night. I won’t deny it.

Duff: And yet any other man would be bragging and saying he did it all with skill our International Champion knows when to show humility.

Fang: No I showed the world I was the best in the business when I came out and graciously signed the contract to face Morbius Tassius in a series of three matches at WrestleQuest.

The fans go crazy when they hear Morbius’ name. Fang just shakes his head in disgust at the fans. He waits for them to calm down and then he brings the microphone back to his mouth

Sure go ahead and cheer for him. Morbius is the type of man who needs to hear you all cheer for him. It really is the only thing he has left in his sad pathetic life. He spent four years away from this sport and then last year he comes back to the sport and thinks that he’s going to take over the AWA. He thinks that he’s going to change the company I put on the map. He thinks he’s going to become the master of something that is greater than he ever could be.

Crowd: Morbs will kill you. Morbs will Kill you. Fang: You can’t kill someone who is immortal, ah but he will try and when he sees just like those who’ve tried to destroy me before, that I will never go away. Men like Ronin, Metamania, John Irons, Thor, and my own twin brother Jacob, all men who tried to destroy me. All men who tried to put me out of the AWA Forever. Men who could not see that they were slowly walking to their own destruction. Morbius is walking to his own destruction too. It’s a slow plodding march, and tonight I am going to help speed that march up. I am going to HASTEN his retirement. I am going to show him that there is only one true great one of the AWA and his name is Jonathan Porter.

Tex: So much for Humility.

Fang: Now that isn’t to say that I don’t owe Morbius a great deal. The man took a chance on me long ago. He brought me into his group when everyone else in the GWA had given up on me. He saw the true potential in me. Of course he probably now knows that MY True potential has still yet to be reached. I have become a household name while many people thought poor Morbius died in a car crash. Go google it on wikipedia if you don’t believe me. Many thought the man had given up all his worldly possessions and became a monk in Tibet. Many, like myself thought the man had just realized he would never be as good as he thought he was and hung it up. Much to my astonishment the man still thinks that he is THE GREATNESS. Morbius Tassius stopped being great many, many years ago. So tonight we begin the final steps in our dance. Like a moth drawn to the flames of a candle, we two have been drawn together. The inevitable battle of two men who’s lives were at one time intertwined with each other’s destiny. Morbius, the reasons why I’ve come after you have been stated time and time again. The GWA was your place to be the greatest of all time and you failed. The AWA IS MY DOMAIN. It is my place to be the greatest of all time, and as you can see with all my accomplishments that I HAVE NOT FAILED. Now you wish to degrade them, tell the world that I have bought and paid for them. How little you know of me. I may be a cruel and sadistic man. I may have evil oozing out of every open pore of my body. I may do despicable things in the name of everything I believe, but I do them on my own. I stand here with no regrets on how I’ve come to find my Greatness, and I know that in the years to come the fans will not remember my ruthless methods, but how I was so much better than the generations that came after. Meanwhile you sadly cling, much like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, to shattered dreams and unrealized promises. Every thing I’ve prophesized has come true. Every thing I said I’d do I did. Now at WrestleQuest I will show you that I have surpassed you. I will take you to a place you have never seen. I will extinguish the light that is Morbius Tassius the wrestler and I will leave only Morbius Tassius the sad and broken man in his place. Morbius, I hope you’re happy. You’ve gotten everything you wanted. Everything you desire from me. At WrestleQuest I complete our bargain. At WrestleQuest I collect MY TRIBUTE. You’ve signed a contract with the Master Deal Broker and I will be paid in full, one SOUL… YOURS.

The crowd boos at Fang. Fang just grins and then puts the mic to his mouth again.

Fang: AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME.

Ty the Tech Guy vs. Matthew Toddi

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is contested under the 15 minute time limit!!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6’0 and weighing in at 230 pounds!! Hailing from Silicone Valley, CA!!! Ty the Tech Guy!!!

The lights come up bright and white as "code monkey" hits the PA system. We see a muscular looking man walk out from behind the curtain of the tron shielding his eyes. He walks slowly as the lights start dimming down and we see Ty the Tech Guy and his thick black framed glasses, complete with tape wrapped around the nose bridge walk to the ring. He walks with his head down trying not to make eye contact with anyone. He has a bit of trouble getting into the ring as he's not completely sure how to go about getting through the second and third ropes. After a moment the referee helps him through and both fall down to the mat. Ty gets ups quickly and tries to save face by waving to the laughing crowd. He waits in the ring for his opponent by taking out his pocket calculator and starts doing some math.

Stormy: And his opponent, standing in at 6’1 and weighing in at 225 pounds!! Hailing from Detroit, Michigan!!! Matthew Toddi!!!

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

''If I gave you the truth would it keep you alive.

Though im closer to wrong an no further from right.

And now im covinced on the inside something's wrong with me.

Convinced on the inside.

Theres 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 ringas he gets booed by the audience. Once he 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 the ref to ring the bell.

Tex: I’m looking forward to this one, the blood brother vs. the tech guy.

Duff: The talented one against the nerd!!

Tex: Oh brother

The two men charge at each other as Ty delivers a clothesline after whipping Toddi in the ropes. He then grabs him by the face and slams it hard to the canvas before dropping to his knees and locking Toddi in a front face lock. Trying to take off the oxygen to the brain as Toddi is fighting his way back to his feet. He grabs Ty by the waist and pushes him into the turnbuckels after gotten back to his feet. He then manages to break free from the grip of Ty and drives his shoulders into the midsection of the Tech Guy. Toddi senses victory as he steps backwards and walks to the other side of the ring before coming in charging towards Ty who steps aside, causing Toddi to hit the ringpost with his shoulder. Ty takes advantage by grabbing Toddi by his pants and rolls him up for a small package. The referee slaps his hand on the canvas for the count of three as Ty held on to the ropes for leverage. As the referee calls for the bell to announce the winner, Ty gets a crazed look in his eyes, and smiles. He stands there for a moment smirking as Stormy announces the winner.

Stormy: The Winner of this match……TY THE TECH GUY!

Tex: I don’t know about you Duffers but I’m not liking the look that Ty has right now. It’s not natural.

Duff: I see what you mean Tex. It’s almost an evil look and its sending shivers down my spine and making goosebumps everywhere else!

Ty gets out of the ring and lifts up the apron. He pulls out a Louisville Slugger Baseball bat and trash can. The referee tries to stop Ty from doing anything but Ty just shrugs him off. When the referee tries again Ty snaps and takes the baseball bat to the skull of the referee.

Tex: Chip is out!

Duff: Ty has gone off the deep end! Look out Matthew!

With a thud the referee falls unconscious to the ground as Ty grabs the trash can and bat and hops up into the ring. He sets the trash can upright in the far corner of the ring and holds the baseball bat in a ready stance almost like a player ready to hit a home run. Toddi is beginning to stir as he begins to shake the cobwebs out. He slowly stands up. Just as he’s about to turn around Ty swings the Louisville Slugger with tremendous force hitting the youngest of the Blood Brothers square in the midsection with a huge swing. Toddi’s upper body bends forward as he is coughing for oxygen asTy hits him again, this time in the back, causing him to fall down Toddi doesn’t move and the crowd is cheering and booing Ty for what he just did.

Tex: Holy Cow! Folks that was a sickest action I’ve ever had the displeasure of witnessing from Ty the Tech Guy! Smacking Matthew Toddi with a devastating hit to the midsection and then the back with a baseball bat!

Duff: Well I guess you could say that Ty hit a double homer.

Tex: Duff that isn’t funny….

Duff: Yes it is. It’s freaking hilarious! You know why!? Because it just happened! Ty gave him exactly what Toddi deserved! He’s doing the whole wrestling world a favor!

Just as both commentators are arguing “The Truth Shall Set Me Free” by Story of the Year hits the PA as Anthony Phoenix comes running down, and slides into the ring. Ty the Tech Guy is there to meet him and takes a swing at his midsection and stops him cold. Phoenix hunches over and Ty takes another swing, this time to the family jewels. Phoenix screams out in pain as he falls to the mat. Ty asks for a microphone and one is tossed to him. He catches it with one hand as the fans are starting a chant: Ty Kicks Ass! Ty Kicks Ass!

Ty the Tech Guy: Before I address my former opponent of the evening, allow me to first address the former Universal Champion. Phoenix, I know you were coming down here to support your boy and to have his back, but it was none of your business to get involved. All week I told people that Toddi’s lack of airtime this week was fueling a fire within me, and that one way or another I would make sure he paid for his insult. It’s nothing personal bud, just business.

Phoenix is starting to get up, still grabbing his jewels and Ty just looks at him for a moment. Phoenix again tries to attack Ty. Ty responds with another smack with the baseball bat to the midsection. Phoenix hunches over and Ty brings over the trash can and shoves Phoenix inside it so that his feet and hands are the only thing seen. Then he tips it over and kicks it out of the ring as he continues speaking.

Ty the Tech Guy: Phoenix like I was saying, it’s just business. I’ve got no beef with you, nor with your troupe of has-beens. My only beef is with the little man who is on the other side of the ring bleeding and unconscious. He’s insulted me by not showing his ugly mug all week. For a moment I actually thought he wasn’t going to show up this week. You see Toddi, all my life people have made fun of me because I was smarter than they were, and took advantage of me because of my superior intellect. But now that I’ve learned to love to bring the pain to the ring I am able to give back to those who disrespect me. Consider yourself lucky that I held back. From here on in I’m going to call this S&D. You see Matthew I consider pests like you a virus. And I am the AntiVirus that is going to wipe you from memory. Let this be a lesson to everyone in the back. Seek me out, and you will be DESTROYED!

Code Monkey hits the PA as the scene fades to commercial.

Winner: Ty the Tech GuyGoth’s music hits as the owner of the AWA comes out to the ring and has a sick grin on his face as he puts a microphone to his mouth

Goth: It has come to my understanding that some idiot has come out here and wanted to make an impact against me. How sweet, you know something Canis? You should have done the trick when you had the chance to do something against me, because now I know you are here and I’m looking forward crushing your stinking face…. But not tonight. You see Canis? I got some work to do tonight, I need to crush a champion’s hopes of ever walking out of WreslteQuest still champion against his number one contender. So I made a cute little plan to keep you at bay….

Tex: What is Goth talking about?

Goth: You see Canis, I’m banning you from ringside this week and I will make you realize that if you come even one step near me… that I will make your life a living HELL!!!

And that my friend… is a promise…

Goth’s music hits as the owner walks to the backstage area

The scene opens with Bill Barnhart and his English Bulldog, Iris, walking down the street near the Araneta Arena in Quezon City, Philippines. He is searching for an address. They are about six blocks south of the Araneta Arena when Bill sees the high rise condo building. This might be the place he is looking for since it appears to be the only high rise condo in this specific area. Bill is looking for the relatives of his neighbor, Ruben Rodriguez, back in Oakland, as he is planning on giving them free tickets to join him at Monday Night Insomnia at the Araneta arena. As Bill and Iris approach the building he asks the Security Guard if this is 84 Montreal Street and he confirms that it is. Bill enters the building, enters the elevator, and they take the elevator up to the 12th floor. Bill finds the specific condo and he rings the bell. An elderly woman answers the door...probably Ruben's mother.

RUBEN'S MOTHER: Yes? May I help you?

BILL BARNHART: My name is Bill Barnhart. I live in Oakland, California, next door to your son Ruben Rodriguez. I am a wrestler in Asylum Wrestling Alliance and our Monday Night Insomnia event it being held at the Araneta Arena on May 2nd.

RUBEN'S MOTHER: Oh yes. Ruben called us the other day and he told us you were coming. Please come in and have a seat.

Bill takes a seat and a young man close to Ruben's age comes out and introduces himself.

RUBEN'S BROTHER: Hi, my name is Roger and I am Ruben's brother. Welcome to Manila. We watch your wrestling events all the time and I am thrilled to have such as great wrestler as you in our home.

BILL BARNHART: I didn't tell Ruben this but I want to invite your family to come to the Araneta Arena on Monday night to watch me wrestle in a Tag Team match against Hank Henry III and Anthony Phoenix.

RUBEN'S BROTHER: Bill, we would love to come, but the income paid to workers here in the Philippines is pathetic. We can barely afford to pay our bills and purchase food. We will have to decline your offer.

BILL BARNHART: Oh please don't worry about the cost. I will pay for your tickets and I will ensure you are seated at ringside so you are close to the action. All the food and snacks are on me also. You just tell the Concession guy who comes around to sell food to charge it to Bill Barnhart. I have everything taken care of. How many tickets do you think you will need for the family members who will attend.

RUBEN'S BROTHER: Hmmm...I would say 10 to 12 would be fine. That isn't asking too much is it?

BILL BARNHART: I would buy out the entire Araneta Arena for my friend Ruben's family if I had to. A dozen tickets it is. I will put it under the name RUBEN RODRIGUEZ so you just go to the main ticket office and tell them there are a dozen ringside seats under the name Ruben Rodriguez sent there by Bill Barnhart and they will give them to you. If they give you a problem with the tickets have them page me and I will personally come out and set them straight.

RUBEN'S BROTHER: Thank you Mister Barnhart! This is such a nice treat you have for us. Not only do we get to attend the wrestling event at no cost to us but we get to see you destroy Hank Henry III and Anthony Phoenix. How can we ever repay you?

BILL BARNHART: This is my gift to the family of my friend and neighbor Ruben back in Oakland, California. No repayment is required. I am just happy you are my friends. See you at Araneta Arena on Monday night!

Bill and Iris leave the condo of Ruben's family. He and Iris go down the elevator to the ground floor and they step out into the street for their walk back to Araneta Arena. As they pass the open markets, where vendors are cooking food, we can see Iris sniffing the air and drooling over the smell of the food.

WCC vs. Anthony Phoenix & Hank Henry III

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a non title tag team match!! The first team to come down the aisle is the team of Anthony Phoenix and Hank Henry III!!!!

The music hits of Anthony Phoenix as he and Hank Henry III walk out to the ring. The fans are cheering Hank on as Phoenix has some mixed reactions as they get in the ring

Stormy: And their opponents!! They are the team of Th1rt3en and Bill Barnhart!! The West Coast Connection!!!

The opening chant of Centre of Eternity begins to play as smoke fills the top of the ramp way. Pink and purple lights hit the fog as behind it a strobe light simulates lightning. As they rise up from the floor, the music kicks in and out from the middle of the smoke walks Bill and 13. They flex, then look at each other and sprint to the ring. 13 shakes the ropes as Bill slides in under, then once both men are inside the ring they do a fist bump and take off their jackets.

Tex: I am looking forward to this one!!!

Hank and Phoenix are discussing who should start as the veteran gives him the pat on the back and pushes Phoenix towards Bill Barnhart. Bill stares at the former Universal champion before locking arms. Phoenix kicks Bill in the midsection after getting him in a wristlock. This gives him the chance to tag in Hank while holding on to the wrist as Hank climbs the second turnbuckle and comes down with an elbow to the shoulder area of Bill Barnhart

Duff: Let’s go Hank!!!

Hank pushes Bill in the ropes and goes for an Irish whip. When Bill comes off the ropes he gets nailed down by Hank with a running short clothesline. Hank turns around and tags in Phoenix who climbs the turnbuckles and jumps off with a flying clothesline off the ropes. This causes him to cover the co holder of the tag titles. The referee goes down for the three count, but Bill gets his shoulder up at the count of two. Phoenix runs to the ropes and goes for a flying moonsault on top of his opponent, but only gets the hard canvas as Barnhart rolled out of the way. Tex: Tag in the big man!!!Bill tags in his tag team partner 13 as the muscular man charges in and grabs Phoenix and lifts him up above his head and drops him with a mighty running Powerslam and hooks the legs of Phoenix but only gets a two count. 13 looks at the referee and has a sick grin upon his face as he grabs Phoenix by the head and lifts him up to his feet before whipping him in the ropes and drops him with a big time clothesline that sends him flying in the air before dropping on the canvas. 13 tags Bill Barnhart back in the ring as he climbs to the outside.

Duff: Great additions to Goth’s stable, having the tag champs do you dirty job is awesome!!!

Bill grabs Phoenix and lifts him up to his feet and goes for a pildedriver in the middle of the ring. He goes for the cover as Hank tries to save his partner, but gets clotheslined out of the ring by 13 as the referee calls for the bell after counting to three.

Stormy: The winners of this match!! West Coast Connection!!!

Winners: WCC

Funeral March for the Queen Mary begins blaring over the speakers.Shipman emerges from behind the curtain to a chorus of boos. SHipman shrugs it off as he walks straight into the ring and frocefully grabs a microphone from Stormy Canyon.

Shipman: Cut the music. Now it's no secret that I have been on a bit of a slump lately and for it Goth and the others have felt the need not to book me in matches time and time again. SO I was doing some thinking. Conulted some friends. And after a long long time of drinking and talking, we came to a mutual decision. I should just cut my losses and call it quits.

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Shipman: You would like that wouldn't you? No more of my "childish" antics as they have ben dubbed by the boys in the back. No more of my " senseless rambling. No more Shipman.

The crowd cheers louder with some fo them beginning to sing "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye".

Shipman: However, that will not be happening.

The crowd boos.

Shipman: Instead you will get me in a match tonight. A hardcore match! Now somebody back there send out a referee.

Tex: An impromptu hardcore match? I wonder who Shipman got as an opponent?

Duff: Doesn't matter, he will lose anyway.

Shipman: As we wait for a referee I would also like to make a stipulation to my match. If I lose, I will quit from the AWA.

The crowd cheers as Hal Smith comes to the ring.

Duff: SO tonight is the end of Shipman's career.

Tex: Not confirmed yet, he still has to lose.

Shipman whispers something into Hal Smith's ear. Hal looks confused but calls for the bell.

Tex: Wait, where is his opponent?

Duff: Where are my nachos?

Shipman smiles and then nails himself in the head with the microphone repeatedly.

Tex: Shipman is hitting himself!

Duff: He really has gone off his rocker.

Shipman staggers a bit and drops the microphone. He then procedes to run into the corner and hiot his head off the turnbuckles. He drops to the mat and slips under the ropes. he runs and slams into the stairs. After taking a moment to get up he runs the other way and flips over the barricade into the crowd. He getsa up and grabs a beer from a fan and slams it across his own face. After punching himself through the crowd a bit he flips back over the rail and slams hard on the floor. He crawls towards the ring and starts digging around underneath it. He pulls out a couple of chairs and a tool box. He tosses them all in the ring and then goes back under and pulls out a couple garbage cans and tosses them in. He gets up and slides under the ropes as teh crowd is going nuts.

Tex: Can somebody stop this?

Duff: It's hardcore, if the guy wants to kill himself, let him.

Shipman grabs a chair and swings at his head over and over again. A trickle of blood is now visible coming from Shipman's head. He then puts two chairs set up in the corner like a little table. He climbs up the ropes and falss backwards from the top crashing through them, breaking the legs on the chairs. He is rolling around in pain as the crowd cheers and yells at him. Shipman gingerly gets up and smashes open the tool box. He pulls out a flat tip screw driver and smiles. He raises it high above his head and slams it down digging and pushing into his cut. Blood is just pouring out of him right now.

Tex: Okay this is truning into a live disection.

Duff: No it's hardcore at it's finest, as only Shipman can do.

Shipman drops the screwdriver as blood is dripping all over his body and the mat. SHipman goes back outside and digs for more "toys".

Tex: Well this isn't Jaks. This isn't Toys-R-Us.

Duff: And that ain't no toy.

A bloody shipman is smiling as he pulls a ladder out from under the ring and slides it into the ring. He goes back under and pulls out a table and slides that in. The crowd goes nuts as Shipman goes under yet again. This time emerging with a big burlap sack and strands of barbed wire. He tosses it inside the ring and follows under the ropes. Shipman hits himself with the chair a couple more times and then begins falling on top of the trash cans flatening them. He is quite slow to get up but does. He then proceeds to set up the ladder and then the table. SHipman climbs up the ladder and looks over teh top at the table below.

Duff: Jump, do it.

Tex: I know the guy isn't popular but someone please get out here and stop this.

Duff: They can't it's hardcore rules. Jump Shippy.

Shipman shakes his head and climbs down the ladder to boos. He hits himself with the chair a bit more and then wraps barbed wire around the table. The crowd cheers again only for Shipman to shake his head. He grabs the sack and empties its contents all over the table.

Duff: THUMBTACKS!!! Yes!

Tex: What is Shipman doing?

Shipman looks at the table and climbs outside the ring. He walks around and flips the stairs over to expose an infamous yellow bottle and a BBQ lighter. He slides into the ring and procedes to cover the table with the lighter fluid. He then lights the lighter above his head. The crowd goes nuts as Shipman lights the table on fire. he hits himself across the head with the chair and slowly climbs the ladder. He gives the crowd a one finger salute and does a flip over the top of the ladder crashing through the flaming, tack covered, barbed wire wrapped table with his back. It explodes into pieces as Shipman flops around in pain like a fish out of water.

Tex: Oh my god.

Duff: Brutality at it's finest.

Shipman stops moving with both shoulders on the ground but an arm across his chest. Hal confusingly drops down and begins counting.1.................2....................3 Hal Smith calls for the bell as the crowd is cheering. Stormy walks up to Hal and he instructs her.

Stormy Canyon (confused): The winner of the match.........Chris Shipman?

EMTs rush to the ring and begin loading SHipman on a stretcher.

Tex: So apparnatly SHipman won but I am still confused to what I saw.

Duff: Violence plain and simple, and possibly attempted suicide

Fang vs. Morbius Tassius

“Not Falling” By Mudvayne starts to blare over the speakers as the crowd goes wild. The words, “Greatness Redefined,” come across the Titantron. The song builds up through the first verse as Morbius walks out from behind the curtains wearing only a pair of Execution shorts. His hands and feet are tapped to the forearm and shin and he starts to walk down the rampway.

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring from Des Moines, Iowa. Weighing in at 240 lbs. Standing at 6’2”: Morbius Tassius!<.

He kneels about halfway down and waits. The chorus hits and pyro explodes from the stage and sides of the rampway as he jumps to his feet. He continues to move down to the ring with one fist in the air.

Duff: I still think Morbius is insane going up against Fang in a series of matches at Wrestle Quest. It’s complete suicide.

Tex: Well it’ll be Immortal vs. Immortal where only one will stand victorious. It pretty much might overshadow all the other matches on the card as it begins to take shape.

Morbius gets on to the ring apron and then uses the top rope to springboard flip into the middle of the ring. The crowd is booming as the pyro dies down. He moves to all four corners and raises his fist into the air and then pats his chest to the crowd showing that hint of old times.

The music changes over to Seven Days of the Wolves By Nightwish begins to play. The arena goes dark, fog hits the entrance as red light fills the fog. Seven Days of the Wolves by Nightwish cues up and the fans begin to boo. On the Titantron a big quill pen and a piece of black paper appear. The Pen looks as if it's writing something and then the paper turns and in large cursive red letters is the name Fang. Then under that the phrase "Sign your name on the line and your soul is mine" Fang walks out of the fog wearing a suit and tie and carrying with him a rolled up piece of black paper in his right hand. Stormy Canyon: And his opponent comes from Long Pond, Indiana. Weighing in at 220 lbs. Standing at 6’. He is a four time and current reigning AWA International Champion: “The Wolf God”, Jonathan “Fang” Porter!<.

Fang makes his way to the ring, as the lights come back up, and he looks around at the crowd. He holds up the paper and mouths "YOU ALL WANT SOMETHING" and then he rubs his fingers together "IT'S GOING TO COST YOU". Duff: And here he is…the man that will be making History when he defeats Tassius at Wrestle Quest.

Tex: Woah there Duff! We don’t know what might happen as Tassius might surprise us. I mean this was his idea. After all Anthony Phoenix is counted as one of our former AWA Universal champions and everyone and their dog didn’t think he would.

All Duff does is roll his eyes as the action returns to the ring. After Fang enters the ring, he takes off his suit jacket and hands it to a ring attendant. He loosens his collar and rolls up the sleeves on his dress shirt as he readies for the match. Tassius is eyeing everything with his arms folded across his chest.

Tex: Tassius is about two inches taller than Fang and several pounds bigger. This may prove an advantage as the match progresses.

Duff: Do you honestly think Fang cares about that. He’s taken down bigger men than that. He’s the International Champion for Christ sakes…give him some respect here…PLEASE Tex: I do…I’m just giving the facts here.

Duff: You know sometimes I think that your mouth will get you into trouble one of these days.

Tex shakes his head in disbelief as the action returns to the ring. As the referee calls for the bell both Fang and Tassius tie up in the center of the ring in an elbow and collar tie-up. Both are jockeying for position even though Tassius is two inches taller. But it seems to not faze the “Man in Black” as Fang moves his leg behind Tassius left leg and shoves hard enough to trip him causing him to land on the mat with a loud thud. Fang looks down at Tassius and smiles. Fang moves out of the way to let Tassius get up, he does so with a smirk on his face. Tassius then gets close to Fang and slaps him across the face which makes the crowd react. Fang’s expression changes rather rapidly.

Tex: I don’t really know how to call that…Tassius with a slap to the face? Wow.

Duff: Hush…Tassius knows what he’s doing.

Fang looks upset as he rushes Tassius. Tassius side steps slightly to let Fang go by but as he does so Tassius grabs Fang from behind and executes a belly to back suplex sending Fang to the mat. Tassius follows in with several stomps to the head and an elbow to the shoulder. He then slaps on an arm bar and starts to pull back on Fang’s arm. The referee gets in place to call the match if need be.

Duff: C’mom Fang don’t tap out to him. You’re better than that.

Tex: But he might pass out from the pain.

Duff: What Fang? Never…

Duff keeps calling for Fang to not tap out when Fang starts to punch Tassius in the face which make him release the hold. Fang sits up and shakes his arm.

Tex: Fang is shaking his arm to get some of the feeling back.

Duff: That don’t mean a damn thing…Fang will pull it out in the end.

Fang stands up and runs at Tassius is momentarily caught off guard. He hits a clothesline on Tassius which send him to the ground. Fang gets up and calls for the Cross of the Wolf but Tassius is too quick as he moves out the way and knocks Fang’s arms out of the way.

Tex: It appears that Tassius is one step ahead of the International champion, out maneuvering Fang’s attempt at the Cross of the Wolf.

Duff: Don’t worry the match isn’t over. I’m sure Fang will hit it at least once before this is over.

Tassius presses in a tries a submission move of his own, a camel clutch. Tassius slaps on the move and is successful for a few seconds till Fang starts to move and stands up. He then drops backwards with Tassius still holding on. The impact makes Tassius release the hold.

Duff: I think Fang is a little more smarter than Tassius and it’s starting to show.

Fang takes advantage of this and goes for the first cover.

Tex: Fang with the first cover.

The referee is about to count three when Tassius moves his shoulder up to break the count. Fang notices this and stand up not before he lands a sharp elbow to Tassius face. Fang gets up and smiles as he starts to stomp away at Tassius. Tassius moves out of the way after several shots to the head. Fang follows and stands him up.

Tex: Fang taking the upper hand.

He launches Tassius towards the turnbuckle in an Irish whip. Tassius comes bounding back as Fang readies for a strong clothesline. Tassius ducks under and comes bounding back from the other side. Tassius stops short as he hits swift kick to Fang’s face. This move sends him backwards and Tassius runs at him and delivers a clothesline of his own.

Duff: Tassius is way more astute on reversals. Fang not so much.

Fang ducks out the clothesline and moves behind Tassius. Fang powers out and pulls Tassius into a belly to back suplex. But instead of releasing, he hits it again. And again and again till Fang feels Tassius back is ripe for his submission move, The Cross of the Wolf.

Tex: It looks like Fang is setting up for the Cross of the Wolf.

Duff: NO!!!

Fang approaches Tassius and hoists him onto his shoulders. He slowly starts to wrench down on Tassius’ neck and legs. He holds the move for a few seconds and then wrenchs down again. The referee asks Tassous if he wants to submit.

Duff: Don’t tap…Don’t tap!!

Tassius nods as he submits to the move. Duff looks really dejected.

Winner: Fang

Goth can be seen talking to the tag team champions as he is telling them something as they are grinning before they close the door to their locker room

Tex: What was that all about??

Shane West vs. Max Maxim

Stormy: The following match is a Street Fight and scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Corpus Christi, Texas and weighing in at three-hundred and eighty three pounds. He is…MAX MAXIM!!!!

The entire arena grows nearly dark just before the opening of South Texas Deathride, during the opening of the song dark red lights pulse through the arena as he steps out onto the stage. Just a few seconds into the intro as the music grows heavy and dark he takes three steps forward as huge fountain of red pyrotechnics shoots straight up into the air, making a curtain effect that burns for about ten seconds as he begins to make his way to the ring. As he walks the ramp lights up as the house lights return to normal he glares a hole through his opponent, rolling his shoulders, checking his wrists, rolling his neck, finally clenching and opening his fists before reaching the ring. From the floor he reaches up to the top rope, pulling himself onto the apron then steps over the top rope. He moves to the back corner of the ring.

Stormy: And next the challenger weighing in at two-hundred and twenty pounds. He is your AWA UNIVERSAL CHAMPION!!! Ladies and Gentlemen I give you SHANE WEST!!!

The lights go out, and a strobe starts flashing, as the first notes of “Its a Fight” by 3-6 Mafia hits. As “Its Going Down” hits, Shane West steps from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the rampway, he pats his chest a few times and smiles, a flash of his confidence shining through. Standing at the top of the rampway, pyrotechnics go off, white in color. His eyes remain focused on the ring though, as he loosens up at the top of the rampway, and runs down the rampway sliding into the ring. He runs to the far rope, and jumps on it, perching himself, and pointing to the crowd on that side, before springboarding off, and moving to another side. Finally, when he has posed for every side of the ring, he walks to his turnbuckle, removing his jacket, and drapes it over the rope. He climbs the turnbuckle, standing on the second rope, and leans over it, staring out at the crowd, as they continue to react to his presence, cheering. Max walks up behind Shane while he’s on the turnbuckle and yells to the crowd, “STREET FIGHT.” Max grabs him off the ropes and powerslams him to the ground. The ref calls for the bell as Shane hits the mat and the match is on.

And were off Duff.

Duff: This better be good.

Max picks him up off the mat and whips him to a corner but Shane slides under the bottom rope and goes to the ground. Max goes over to the side and starts to climb out but his head is met by a chair that was pulled from under the ring. Shane drops the chair and grabs Max by the head in a ddt position and drags him through the ropes until his legs are sitting on the ropes. Shane falls back and delivers an impaler ddt into the chair. The fans start going nuts and West goes for the cover. The ref slides out of the ring and starts the count. One..Two..th…kickout. Shane shakes his head and gets to his feet and starts laying boots into the fallen Maxim. Shane walks to the end of the ring side and then runs back with a kick to the ribcage of Max. Shane gets Max to his feet and then goes to throw a right hand but is blocked by Maxim and Shane gets grabbed by the throat. Shane panics and then kicks Max right between the legs. The crowd cringes as Max drops to his knees and Shane mouths the words, “no DQ.”

Duff: That’s not right Tex.

No DQ Duff. This is what happens in a street fight. Anything goes.

Max slowly gets back to his feet as Shane runs at him with chair in hand and Max put his boot right into it and into Shane’s face. Max yells and starts to kick Shane while he’s on the grounds and then gets him to his feet. Max whips Shane hard into the ring steps and runs after him for a brutal knee but Shane rolls out of the way and Max clips himself over the steps and on to the ground. Shane slowly makes his way to this feet as does Max who is keeping his weight to one side. They both roll back into the ring and the brawling ensues once again. Back and forth, neither man will give up but then all the lights go out in the arena. The fans are confused by the sound of it and the lights come back on a few minutes later as the in the ring the two men are surrounded by The Family. The beatdown commences as the men are outnumbered and they are getting stomped into the ground.

Damn the Family!!! This is unfair!!

Fang and John Gold are working over West as 13 and Bill Barnhart are trading blows with Max Maxim. The fasn are booing everyone inside the ring as Goth is coming at ringside and is laughing hard as he is watching the destruction of the Universal champion before putting a microphone to his mouth.

Goth: See this Canis? You are so damn stupid to think your trick of last week has any effect on me. The Family has grown and we are so damn powerful that nobody will survive my wrath…. And you West? You just better start your farewell tour.. your days as champion are NUMBERED!!!

Suddenly the lights go out and start to flicker as Goth can be seen looking around what is going on. Just when the lights come back on we see Canis attacking the owner of the company as the fans cheer him on. Canis whips Goth into the wall next to the entrance way. Goth stumbles into the waiting arms of Canis, who wants to set him up for a DDT but gets caught by security who separate the two men. Goth grabs a microphone and is full of anger Goth: You know something Canis?? I could suspend you!! But no, I’m going to put you in a match next week!! I’m going to make you regret the day you returned!!!!

With that the show comes to an end.

Winner: No Contest
