As the show starts the Number One Contender to the Universal title, Anthony Phoenix is standing in the middle of the ring all smiles as a smattering of boos and cheers rain down on him from the crowd. He looks around at the crowd taking in all the reaction as he’s introduced.

Stormy Canyon: Ladies and gentlemen...the number one contender to the AWA Universal title...The King of Controversy, Anthony Phoenix.

As Stormy hands Anthony the microphone the crowd boos even louder. He shakes his head showing his disapproval. After a few seconds of this, Anthony raises the microphone and begins to speak.

Anthony Phoenix: Look it doesn’t matter how loud you all boo, I’m the number one contender to the Universal title and tonight I’ll get to chose what type of match I’ll be in when I defeat Barnhart for the title at the end of the month.

Anthony shrugs off the boos as they get louder.

Anthony Phoenix: But that’s not why I’m out here...I want to address the events that happened to me last week.

The boos then turned to cheers as the AWA fans realize that Anthony iis talking about Executions attack from last week..

Anthony Phoenix: Really? Really? Really, you cheer the fact that I almost was taken out permanently by those pack of goons. Do you truly understand the extent of the damage they may have caused? As a matter of fact right now I’ve got my lawyers working on obtaining a restraining order not only Execustion and KGB personally and possibly suing AWA and who ever else I deem responsible for that heinous attack on me last week.

The crowd then starts to chant “YOU SUCK” over and over.

Anthony Phoenix: I suck? Well as a matter of fact, I do very well.

The crowd then stops the chant.

Anthony Phoenix: Now where was I? Ah yes KGB...now tonight KGB has been given the dubious distinction of refereeing the main event match, my main event match. Well there isn’t a damn thing I can do about that. Which means that as ref I can’t touch you. But I tell you this in front of this entire crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina...

The crowd sends a cheap pop when they hear their hometown. Anthony just rolls his eyes in disgust.

Anthony Phoenix: They will bear witness before God as well that if you or anyone of your goons try to do anything to change the outcome then GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS.

Anthony’s theme, “Change Me” by Trae Vedder begins to play as he leans over and places the microphone in the middle of the ring. He then walks over to the side of the ring nearest the entrance and exits to the outside. The camera catches as big smirk on Anthony’s face as Insomnia goes to to a promo for the first ever BREAKOUT.

Rene can be seen walking around backstage with a grin on his face as Foxxy Dreams barges in his lockerroom

Rene: Don't you ever knock?? You know what? Don't even answer that question. I'm going to be out there, I'm going to knock some sense into that idiot and after that? I'm going to knock some sense into YOU!!

Rene walks off, but before doing that he turns and slaps Foxxy on the ass. We can see Foxxy smiling as she stares at the French wrestler

Rene Pierre vs. Owen Idol

The opening match for this edition of Monday Night Insomnia is about to get underway. The fans are anxious to get this event going and they don't have to wait long as they hear HUMAN by Metallica hit the speakers in the Time Warner Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. Owen Idol quickly makes his appearance from the backstage area and the crowd gives him a somewhat favorable reaction. He stops momentarily at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp and he plays the crows by raising his hands high into the air in a victory pose. The crowd gets louder with their reaction as they are excited that Monday Night Insomnia is officially underway. Idol quickly makes his way down the ramp and to the ring. When he arrives at the ring he reaches up and grabs on to the ring ropes. Owen pulls himself up on the ring apron and then he does a leap over the top rope into the ring. He again plays the crowd for a bit before settling back into a corner to await the arrival of his opponent Rene Pierre.

TEX: I am glad to see Owen Idol back in action in the wrestling ring. Idol has always been a great competitor and I am sure he will make short work of Rene Pierre tonight.

DUFF: You always seem to be sure of a lot lately Tex. Sure wrong about who will win matches. Sure full of yourself. And sure full of...

TEX: Whoa there Duff! We have women and children present in the Arena and watching on television.

STORMY CANYON: Our first competitor in this opening match for this Monday Night Insomnia hails from Boston, Massachusetts, and he stands in at 6 feet 2 inches and he weighs 240 pounds, please give a hearty welcome to "ASTONISHING" OWEN IDOL!!!

The fans give Owen Idol a mostly favorable reaction and then they calm down as they hear the French National Anthem hit the speakers. As soon as they hear the French National Anthem start, and they see the French National Flag on the TRON, the crowd in the arena stand to their feet and give a horrible and negative reaction to Rene Pierre. The crowd boos even louder when they see Rene Pierre appear from the backstage area carrying and waving a French National Flag. Rene proudly prances down the entrance ramp to the ring. When he arrives at the ring he climbs the ring steps and ducks through the ropes. He waves the French National Flag again to incite the crowd and then he walks over to where Stormy Canyon is standing. Pierre softly wraps the French National Flag around Stormy and then he kisses her on the cheek. Stormy isn't buying his advances as she shoves him away. Rene walks to a corner and plants his French National Flag in the corner to await Stormy's announcement.

TEX: Oh my gawd! Rene Pierre is a terrible, horrible, arrogant, disgusting, and insulting person!

DUFF: He is French...did you expect anything less of a Frenchman?

STORMY CANYON: Our next competitor in this opening match hails from Paris, France, and he stands in at 6 feet 2 inches and he weighs 225 pounds, please give a hearty welcome to RENE "THE FRENCH CONNECTION" PIERRE!!!

The crowd again gets to loud in their booing that the sound is deafening. Rene could care less what Americans think as he arrogantly waves off their negative reaction to his announcement. Referee "Chocolate" Chip Long walks to the middle of the ring. He then motions for Owen Idol and Rene Pierre to join him. When both wrestlers are standing to the sides of Chip Long, he runs down the match information. Referee Long informs them that this is a Standard Rules match which means no illegal blow, holds, maneuvers, or weapons. He further informs the two wrestlers that due to the level of cheating recently in wrestling matches that he will be on a very short fuse for this match and he will not hesitate to call a Disqualification if the wrestlers get out of hand. Referee Chip Long makes a physical inspection of both wrestlers, checking their wrestling attire, and their boots, and any wristbands, elbow pads, and knee pads, to ensure that neither wrestler has any foreign objects hidden. When Referee Chip Long is satisfied that both wrestlers are clean he directs them to go to a corner and await the Timekeeper's bell to officially start the match. Chip Long waits until both wrestlers are settled into a corner and then he walks over to the side of the ring where the Timekeeper is located and he tells him to ring the bell to start the match. The Timekeeper rings the bell and this match is officially underway.

TEX: I feel it is disappointing that Referee Long has not demanded that the French National Flag be removed from the corner where Rene Pierre placed it before the match started. You just know he is going to use it as a weapon during the match.

DUFF: Hold your horses Tex! Didn't you hear Referee Chip Long explain to both wrestlers that he has a short fuse when it comes to calling a Disqualification for cheating or other illegal behavior?

TEX: Yes, but...

DUFF: You're the butt Tex! Will you stop making biased comments and allow the Referee to officiate the match? Just make your commentary on the match as it happens and keep your opinions out of it.

The two wrestlers come out of their corners and approach each other in the middle of the ring. They circle about like a couple of roosters in a cock fight while each searches for an opening in order to take an early advantage in this match. Finally the two lock up and they are pushing and shoving without either of them gaining a clear advantage. Owen Idol manages to maneuver Rene Pierre backward into a corner. Referee Chip Long is quick to step in and call for a break for Rene being on the ropes. Owen quickly releases his hold on Pierre and he starts to back off when Rene leaps out of the corner and lands a hard forearm smash to the jaw of Idol. Owen quickly complains to the Referee about the hit on the break by Rene, but Referee Long is quick to inform him that the break was clean, and that a forearm smash is a legal maneuver. He further informs Owen Idol that he needs to focus on the match and not be concerned about how he is officiating this match.

TEX: Oh man! I cannot believe that Rene Pierre just got away with an illegal hit on the break. Referee Long didn't do a damn thing about it!

DUFF: I am about to put an illegal hit on you if you don't stop complaining Tex! Referee Long said the break was long enough to be considered legal. He also said that a forearm smash is a legal blow. If you keep getting out of hand you are going to find out how painful a swift kick to the nutsack is!

TEX: I don't have to put up with your insults and threats of physical harm!

DUFF: Yeah you do. You are under a Contract with Asylum Wrestling Alliance and your contract says you will stay at ringside and make commentary on the match, with me as your announcing partner, or you are fired.

TEX: Damn!

The two wrestlers lock up in the middle of the ring again. They again push and shove each other until Rene Pierre manages to maneuver Owen Idol back into the ropes. Owen raises his arms over his head to show he wants a clean break. Referee Chip Long is quick to move in and demand that Rene break the hold. Pierre slowly backs away from Idol while he keeps his hands on the chest of Owen. He then removes his hands from Idol's chest and he quickly charges Owen to attempt a clothesline. After what happened previously on a break Owen Idol was expecting something like this from Rene Pierre so as Rene is lunging at him, Owen quickly drops to the mat and he grabs the top rope and pulls it down as he goes down. Rene Pierre misses the clothesline and due to the top rope being pulled down he topples over the top rope and he lands hard on the arena floor.

TEX: A brilliant move on the part of Owen Idol! He knew that Rene Pierre was not going to make a clean break and he out-smarted him! Now Rene is on the arena floor. I hope he gets counted out!

DUFF: You would just love to see a cheap countout victory on the part of Owen Idol wouldn't you? I assure you that a little drop to the arena floor is not enough to put Rene Pierre out of the match this early into it.

referee Chip Long ensures that Owen Idol is staying back from the ropes and when he is satisfied that Owen is not going to do something to break his count on Rene, he starts his count. ONE... Rene Pierre quickly gets to his feet. He is visibly upset that he missed that clothesline on Owen Idol as he walks around the ring and occasionally pounds his fists into the ring apron in anger. Referee Chip Long continues the count while also keeping an eye on Idol. TWO... Pierre knows he has time to stay outside the ring to break the momentum of Owen Idol. THREE... We can see that Idol is anxious to continue his attack on Pierre, but he also knows if he does anything that Referee Chip Long will stop the count and start it over, which would serve no purpose but to give Rene Pierre more time outside the ring. FOUR...Rene walks over to the steel ring steps and he slowly climbs them and he stands on the ring apron. FIVE... Pierre is now taunting Idol in an attempt to get him to rush him and cause Referee Long to stop his count on him. SIX... Owen Idol isn't falling for that trick and he remains holding back so that the Referee will continue his count on Rene Pierre. SEVEN... Pierre is disappointed that Idol didn't take the bait but at least he tried. EIGHT... Rene Pierre decides that an eight count is enough so he ducks through the ropes and he backs into a corner. Referee Chip Long stops his count at eight and he motions to the two wrestlers to continue with the match.

TEX: Awwwww, doesn't that just make you want to cry? Poor little French dude couldn't trick Owen Idol into making a mistake and breaking the Referee's count. Boo, friggin', hoo!

DUFF: I wonder if you will be cracking stupid jokes when Rene Pierre has his hand raised in victory in this match?

Owen Idol is quick to approach Rene Pierre in the corner. He is ready to continue his assault but we see Rene Pierre drop to his knees in the corner and he starts begging Owen Idol to back off and show him mercy. Owen knows that he cannot go in and attack Rene while he is in the corner and against the ropes so he challenges Rene to get up and come out of the corner. Pierre remains in the corner, on his knees, begging for mercy. Since Owen cannot go in and attack Rene until he is away from the ropes, or he risks a Disqualification, Idol glances over at Referee Chip Long to request that he order Pierre out of the corner. No sooner is Owen's attention diverted toward Referee Long, than we see Rene Pierre pull himself to his feet and land a hard kick to the midsection on Owen Idol. Referee Chip Long delivers a stern warning to Pierre for the illegal boot to the midsection of Idol but Rene isn't paying attention to the Referee. He spins Owen Idol around and then he shoves him hard into the corner. Rene leaps up on the second ropes and he is towering over Owen Idol who is stuck in the corner. Rene starts punching the side of the head of Owen while Referee Chip Long steps in and threatens him with a Disqualification. While Pierre is punching Idol in the side of the head, Owen grabs onto Rene and he walks out of the corner with Pierre in his grasp. When he reaches the middle of the ring Owen Idol drops straight down and he drops the crotch of Rene Pierre hard onto his knee, causing a low blow in the process. He releases Rene and Pierre keels over onto his side while holding on to his crotch and moaning loudly. Owen Idol turns him on his back, and then he lays across his chest while hooking his legs, for a pinning combination. Referee Chip Long quickly drops into position and goes for the pin count. ONE...TWO...THR... Unreal! Somehow Rene Pierre managed to get a shoulder up even though he is in extreme pain from the low blow. Referee Long gets to his feet and he motions to everyone that the count was only two-and-a-half so the match continues.

TEX: If Referee Long had only been a split second quicker getting into position Owen Idol would have won the match then.

DUFF: Oh you mean AFTER Owen Idol hit Rene Pierre with an ILLEGAL low blow maneuver?

TEX: Well obviously Referee Chip Long is allowing a little give-and-take since prior to the reverse atomic drop, which you want to call a low blow, you will remember that Rene Pierre was standing on the second rope punching the side of Owen Idol's head which was also illegal.

DUFF: Okay, you got me on that one, but I hope Referee Long will regain control of this match and keep it clean from here out.

TEX: You wouldn't know clean if you took a shower and used bleach as your soap!

Owen Idol reaches down and he grabs the head of Rene Pierre to drag him to his feet and work some maneuvers on him. Rene slaps the arms of Owen out of the way and as soon as the arms of Idol flail out, Pierre drives a knee hard into the midsection of Owen Idol. Rene Pierre sees his advantage as he runs to the ropes, rebounds off, and executes a knee lift on the doubled over Owen Idol. Rene then executes a neckbreaker on Owen and he leaps on top of Idol to go for the pin. Referee Chip Long drops down and he starts his pinfall count. ONE...TWO... but Owen Idol was able to easily kick out of the pin due to Rene Pierre not hooking his legs during the attempt. Rene drags Owen to his feet and he is about to execute a maneuver on Idol when Owen grabs Pierre around his body and, using all his strength, he pushes Rene backward hard into the corner. The two slam into the corner with the hit knocking the wind out of Rene Pierre. The force of the hit also affected Owen Idol and he drops to the mat and falls over on his back. Rene tries to exit the corner but his legs are wobbly and he can only manage to drop to his knees and flop on top of Owen Idol. This is enough for Referee Chip Long as he gets into position and goes for another pinfall count. ONE...TWO... and once this time Owen Idol, more out of reflex manages to get his shoulder up off the mat to break the Referee's count.

TEX: You can see that Owen Idol has a great ring presence in that he knows when there is a pin happening and he knows when to kick out.

DUFF: Oh don't even give me a line like that! Owen Idol is damn near unconscious and the only thing which kept him from being counted on the pinfalls is the ineptitude of Referee Chip Long being so damn slow to make the count.

TEX: Oh I see how it is Duff. When I complain about a slow Referee I am being a biased jerk. When you complain about a slow Referee you are being realistic.

Both wrestlers slowly get to their feet. Rene takes the initiative to try to finish off Owen while he has Idol reeling. He stands Owen up and then lands a short clothesline on him. As soon as Idol gets back to his feet Pierre picks Idol up and body slams him hard into the mat. While Owen Idol is lying on the mat we watch Rene Pierre run to the nearest corner and climb to the top corner ropes. He is standing there waiting to execute some high flying maneuver. He is waiting for Owen Idol to get to his feet. Owen is very slow to get to his feet. He is struggling to get to his knees and he finally does. Owen is wobbly as he attempts to stand up straight but he cannot seem to get to his feet and he suddenly flops over on his back. Idol appears to be nearly unconscious lying in the middle of the ring on his back. Referee Chip Long steps close to Owen Idol to be ready if another pin attempt takes place. Rene Pierre has a big smile on his face as he realizes he has this match easily won now. The crowd is amazed how high Pierre leaps into the air as he flies off the top ropes in the corner and he is coming down with what appears is going to be a knee to the chest and throat area of Owen Idol. As Rene is coming down Owen quickly stands to his feet and he grabs Referee Chip Long and manages to place Referee Long in the path of the high flying Rene Pierre. Rene lands a knee into the chest of Referee Chip Long and the crowd gasps as Chip Long does a somersault backward and comes to rest face down on the mat, apparently knocked out from the vicious blow. Pierre gets to his feet and we see him run into the corner where he planted the French National Flag. He grabs onto the flagstick and pulls it into the ring. Idol sees Pierre with the flag and he realizes that Rene is about to use the flag and stick as a weapon against him. Owen attempts to get out of the ring but as he is attempting to get through the ropes Rene whacks the flagstick hard across the back of Idol. This hurts Owen but it also makes him mad. He remains in the ring and he also grabs the flagstick. The two are fighting for possession of the flag and flagstick and in the process each manages to twist the flagstick enough to hit the other in the side of the head with it. We see Referee Chip Long regain consciousness and as he looks over at Owen Idol and Rene Pierre, with both having a grasp on the flagstick, and both using it as a weapon, he calls for the bell from the Timekeeper and then he storms over to where Rene and Owen are and he grabs the flagstick out of their hands. He orders them to get to opposite sides of the ring and wait for the announcement or he will request fines against them. We watch as Owen and Rene go to a corner and wait on Referee Chip Long.

TEX: Hah! I see a Disqualification coming against Rene Pierre for his use of the flagstick as a weapon!

DUFF: Well I see a Disqualification on Owen Idol for using the flagstick as a weapon.

Stormy Canyon enters the ring and Referee Chip Long walks over to her and says something quietly into her ear. She nods her head in understanding and then Stormy makes the official announcement of the match.

STORMY CANYON: Here is the official decision of Referee Chip Long. Due to several factors, including Rene Pierre knocking him out, Owen Idol placing him in the way of Rene Pierre to get hit with a high-flying maneuver, and the fact that he observed both wrestlers using the flagstick as a weapon, Referee Long has issued a Double Disqualification, so therefore this match is a DRAW!!!

TEX: A Draw? Oh come on! Rene Pierre started the illegal activity!

DUFF: Ahem! And you are going to sit there and tell me that Owen Idol didn't shove the Referee in front of him so that he would get hit by Pierre and get knocked out?

The crowd erupts into a mostly negative reaction to the announcement of a Double Disqualification Draw as they wanted a clear winner in this opening match. We watch as we see Rene Pierre make his way up the ramp to the backstage area, once again waving his French National Flag with pride to a rousing chorus of boos from the crowd as Owen Idol stands in the ring looking annoyed

Winner: Draw> After the match Owen Idol motions for a Microphone.

Owen Idol: All week people have been asking me why I've done what I've done. You know, I've lead you all along all week I've strung you along like the puppets you are... lead you to believe you'll be hearing some sort of revelation.

Owen shakes his head.

Owen Idol: But honestly, I just did it because I can, because I know nobody will ever do anything about it and NEXT WEEK when I sign my official contract for the AWA you'll all see why I can and how I can. Until then, stay classy... and kiss my ass.

With that said Owen drops the microphone with a thud as we head into our next segment.

3-6 Mafia's "It's a Fight" hits the loud speakers, and out walks Shane West, with Execution in tow. He walks down to the ring slowly pointing at the fans and just smiling as the cheers come in. As he gets to the ring, he just rolls in, though KGB and Damon Divine take the stairs. Crow follows the two on the stairs as Morbius jumps up to the ring apron and steps through the ropes. Shane stands there looking around briefly, before walking over and grabbing a microphone from Stormy Canyon.

Duff: Oh Great, what do these fools have to say?

Tex: After the message they sent last week, do you really want to ask?

Duff: Good point...

Shane: Good Evening Insomniacs! Here we stand, one week after sending a message that ROCKED the Asylum. Anthony Phoenix laid his hands on one of us. That won't stand. They put their hands on one of yours, you return the favor. Travis Kahler? Done. Gone from the halls of AWA, Execution did what he have promised to do since day 1. We Executed the competition. No one took us seriously when we said we were going to do so. No one listed to the voice of reason when we said that 'your Execution will be televised'.

Morbius: So now, we stand here in the ring, with another message. A message for Axiom. You see, they still haven't taken us seriously. Even still they call me, Shane, and the rest of Execution a 'joke'. Saying that Execution has 'failed'. The fact of that matter, is up until this time, the threats were warnings. Now the threat is very...very...real.

James Crow: I'm not one for fluffy speeches. Neither is Mary. We'll just say this much... I'm not sure I'm 100% behind Captain America there. I came into the AWA to bring the blood back. I came into the AWA to snap Morbius out of this person he's become, and to remind him of who he was. To return him to the man he used to be. Then last week... color me slightly impressed.

Shane: Thanks. We're not out to 'impress people' though. No. We are here to SEND our message, and we expect our message to be heeded. Up until this point, it hasn't been. The War with Axiom has began, and they think they have 'won the war' because their stable still yet lives. I have plans for Axiom, but first, I have something to say. That is simply this. In War... ALL warriors must do their job. If you desert or go AWOL, you're tried for mutiny.

Shane immediately superkicks Damon Divine square in the face! He stumbles backwards into Morbius, who pushes him square in the back, sending him forward... right into a GRAND SLAM swing from Mary and James Crow! The barb wire baseball bat rips into the flesh of Damon's face, and blood flies splattering the ring. KGB goes to a corner, and watches on, same as Cheka as Morbius and James lift Damon up on the top turnbuckle, setting him down. KGB climbs the turnbuckle and immediately flattens Damon with the 'fall from Grace'! Damon is lying there, bleeding, bruised, and unmoving. Shane motions for the others to lift Damon up, and they do. Shane walks behind Damon, and grabs him, maneuvering him into position for the 'Prime Example'. With one vicious twist, Shane jumps and spins, landing his spinning Impaler. Damon is now completely unconscious, blood everywhere. Shane turns to stare down at Damon, kneeling over him.

Shane: Damon Divine, you have been found guilty of going AWOL and dereliction of duty. For your crimes, you have been publically EXECUTED.

Shane stands, turning and facing the crowd.

Shane: Axiom... Execution is serious about this war, and up until this point, you have been less than serious. Let this stand as a message to you as to our purpose and how serious we are. To destroy you, we are willing to destroy ourselves. We are willing to go through hell, only to get to you. Later this evening...Morbius and I get our chance. though a match is a match. This is WAR. I hope this message gets across. Its time for you to take Execution seriously. Its time for AWA to take Execution seriously. As of right now, no one has. NOW you will. Damon's Execution has been televised.

Shane stares out at the crowd, and drops the mic. The Execution theme hits, and the camera fades to black to go to commercials for AWAshopzone.com

James Crow vs Jason John Cash

Stormy: This next bout is a submission match. The only way to win is to make your opponent tap out. Introducing first, from Braxton, MS, weighing in at 255 pounds... Jason John Cash!!!!!!!!!

My Kind of Party by Jason Aldean hits on the PA system. Jason Cash walks out of the curtain with a huge smirk across his face. He looks around to the crowd before taking a large drink of his beer. He then makes his way down to the ring. Once inside, he reaches into his boot and takes out his can of cherry skoal. He gets himself a dip and he is ready to fight. Tex: This should be a great submission match.

Duff: Yes... If they knew any submissions! These guys are far from technician specialists to expect generic submissions people!

Stormy: And his opponent, from Des Moines, IA, weighing in at 275 pounds... James Crow!!!!!!!!

Tex: With his weight advantage, he could lock in a Boston Crab with no escape at ease.

Duff: But it's not all about weight. You need to know your submissions.

The bell gets rung and both walk up to each other and go into a collar-elbow tie up. Crow with the weight advantage pushes Cash against the ropes and then Irish whips him off of them. As Cash flies back towards him he grabs the arm clockwise into the mat taking Cash down with him. He then holds the arm and pulls it up in a modified arm breaker. Cash moves around out of it and then starts to stomp on Crow. Crow then grabs the leg and pushes Cash down. He tries to twist him over once he gets up and he locks in a one legged Boston Crab! Tex: Could this be it already?

Duff: A great reversal! Will he tap out?

Cash some how finds a way to flip around the leg of Crow and push him onto the back. With his legs still locked he wraps his other leg round and Cash holds in a modified figure 4 leg lock! Crow desperately tries to reach the ropes and eventually does! The referee counts till 4 and Cash eventually lets go and he goes up to the ref and starts shouting at him for some reason. Crow gets up during the time and runs and jumps on the back of Cash but gets flipped over forward and hits the referee knocking him out! Tex: Oh no, there is no referee here.

Duff: Well, until the referee gets up, these guys can do anything.

Crow slides out of the ring and grabs a steel chair and slides back in. He runs at Cash with it but Cash jumps up and lands a dropkick making the chair go full force into Crow's head. The chair flies out of the ring in the impact. Cash holds Crow in a sleeper hold and tries to wake the referee up by shoving him with his foot. The referee comes to and starts counting Crow out as he has been knocked out.

Tex: Could this be it!?

Duff: I think it will be.

One... Two... Three...

The referee calls for the bell.

Stormy: Here is your winner by way of submission..... Jason John Cash!!!!!!!!!

Tex: He cheated to do it!

Duff: But it was unintentional, he just hit a dropkick, he didn't know the chair was there!

Winner: Jason John Cash

The arena lights go out and the word 'Axiom' is displayed on the tron. All of a sudden Tear Away by Drowning Pool is heard over the PA system and the members of Axiom, Chaos, Matthew Toddi, Bulldog and Shaun Morgan walk out onto the entrance stage 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. One they get to the ring they all climb up the steps at the 2 sides and enter, 1 man enters from each side of the ring and goes up to the top rope closest to them. The fans boo even louder as they get down and stand in the ring. Chaos has a microphone and begins to talk.

Chaos: I know we havn't exactly been on a role here in the AWA in 2011 but that changes. People say we are lacking for many reasons. My injuries is one thing of it and another is that some people are complaining, yes... complaining we don't have enough members. So ask and you shall receive. I thought Axiom was destructive enough as it is and I thought our message of truth was getting around but apparently not. So, without further or do, here is the newest member to Axiom!

The lights go out with just a solid spot light aimed at the middle of the stage. As the guitar riff of “Change Me”, Phoenix walks out with the hood over his head. He stands in the middle of the spot with his head down. When the lead singer starts to sing, Phoenix looks up and rips off his hood. He holds out his arms as he taunts the crowd, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Phoenix then starts to walk towards the ring with the spot light still on him and with a smirk on his face. Phoenix stops right as he gets to the ring. He shakes his head and walks over to the ring steps and walks up the steps slowly and deliberately. Once on the apron, he enters the ring.

Once inside Phoenix walks to the middle of the ring all the while the spot is still on him. When he reaches mid ring he stares at the camera as he holds his arms up forming an 'X'. Phoenix scowls at the camera as the song ends.

All men then stand in the air with their arms in the air as the scene cuts to black

Chaos & Matthew Toddi vs. Shane West & Morbius Tassius

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is contested under tornado tag team rules!! The first team to enter the arena is the combination of Chaos and Matthew Toddi!! Axxiom!!!

The arena lights go off and the titantron is a black screen with ‘TRUTH’ on it and after a couple of seconds it fades away and ‘AXIOM’ appears on the screen in white letters. ‘Tear Away’ by Drowning Pool hits over the P.A system and the fans are already starting to boo wildly. Chaos and Matthew Toddi walk out onto the entrance ramp and look at all the booing fans. They walk down the entrance ramp and they tear away some of the fans signs that have lines and crosses through the word Axiom. They get to the ring and Chaos climbs the steps as Toddi slides under the ropes, they then go up to the top ropes parallel from each other and stand there looking at the fans that are heavily booing them. They jump down, Chaos does some stretches by pulling the ropes and alternating is body position as Toddi practices his Maui Thai kicks until the fight begins.

Stormy: And their opponents, they are the combination of Shane West and Morbius Tassius!!! Execution!!!

It's a Fight hits from 3-6 Mafia and the combination of Shane West and Morbius Tassius walk out towards the ring. Both men are greeted by the cheers from the fans as they walk up the ramp and climb in the ring. Both men climb the turnbuckles and celebrate with the fans before turning their attention towards their opponents inside the ring.

Tex: I'm looking forward to this one, this should be a great match with both teams ready to go and both... HERE WE GO!!!

Chaos charges in on West as Toddi does the same on Morbius. Both teams are battering each other inside the ring where Chaos reverses an Irish Whip and then sends him down with a big time lariat. Chaos follows up with grabbing West by the hair and then delivers a big time Body Slam and follows up with an elbow drop to the chest area. On the other side we see Morbius being leapfrogged by Toddi and then knocked out of the ring by a big time dropkick from the former TV champion. Toddi climbs out of the ring and follows Morbius as he slams him face first into the steel ringsteps.

Duff: You have to believe it to see it!! Both teams hate each others guts. And I love every moment of it!!!

Toddi follows up by sending Morbius into the security railing and then sets him up for an elbow drop off the apron, but Morbius moves out of the way. Causing Toddi to crash into the security railing with his body. He is hanging there in pain as Morbius grabs him by the head and pulls him backwards and delivers a thunderous forearm into the chest area of Toddi what is alredy in lots of pain. Inisde the ring we see Chaos going for a Back Body Drop, but Shane West leapfrogs over him and then executes a dropkick to the knee of The Monster. The move causes Chaos to fall down in pain as West goes after the knee and locks him in a standing single leg grapevine, pulling on the foot as the leg is wrapped around his and the pain aimed at the knee. Chaos tries to fight out of it until West puts down the leg on the canvas and drives his knee in the back of Chaos his knee.

Tex: Chaos is being put through a lot of pain by West!! Will we see Chaos submit??

Chaos is fighting the hold as he somehow manages to grab the ropes, forcing the referee to break the hold. West lets go and walks away as he is distracting the referee as suddenly Morbius slams a chair into the head of Chaos. Knocking the Monster seemingly out cold as West takes charge and pulls Chaos in the middle of the ring and covers him.

Duff: He's going to be....NO!!!

Somehow Chaos manages to get his shoulder up in time even though his eyes are now rolled back into his head. Clearly he is running on instinct as he does not know where he is. Toddi can be seen trying to crawl back into the ring, but he is stopped by a Morbius Tassius lariat. West then grabs Chaos by the head and executes a DDT and then covers Chaos. The referee slaps his hand on the canvas for the count of three as Chaos is out cold. The bell rings as Shane West and Morbius celebrate their victory

Stormy: The winners of this match!! Execution!!

West and Morbius turn their attention towards the fallen Chaos when suddenly Bill Barnhart runs out and Toddi gets in the ring at the same time. Causing West and Morbius to back off as they are grinning from ear to ear for the damage that they have done to them

Winners: Shane West & Morbius Tassius

The jumbotron comes on showing Cheka and KGB in Execution's locker room. KGB is standing in front of Cheka holding a rose and a box behind his back.

KGB: There is a tradition in this country to gift your significant partner, with flowers, candy, and sappy poetry on this day so here goes

KGB hands Cheka a single long stem rose, a heart shaped box of chocolates and then gets down on one knee.

KGB: A rose by any other name is still a rose. And never before have I spoke in prose. I have never seen a rose more lovely, or more deadly than thee. Miss Cheka, you are a rose unlike any other, And I would not accept another. So I give myself to you, body and soul. In hopes that we shall attain our goal.

Cheka is smiling, but then a very disturbing look comes over her. She lashes out with a knee to KGB's face and he doubles over to the ground, then she kicks him in the groin.

Cheka: You had better no be getting soft on me, comrade. We are far from accomplishing our mission. You need to stay focused. We are not Americans, don't you forget where we come from and why we are here!

As she is speaking, she continues to lash out repeatedly striking KGB with her steel toed boots. KGB is curling up to protect himself, when Shane West and Morbius Tassius walk in and rush over to pull Cheka away before she can do any real harm. She struggles to free herself from the two men, but finally she is beginning to calm down as the camera cuts to the writhing KGB and then quickly goes to commercial.

Th1rt3en is pacing backstage before his match with the new hired gun John Gold thinking of something to say while checking the tape on his wrists to make sure they are tight enough.

13: So John, you found a mean streak under your bed sometime during the week huh? Good, you're going to need it, cept uh...I'm not so sure I'm at ease with you taking notice of my ass!

Th1rt3en turns his head mockingly as if to be looking at his own ass

13: It's not that big! Anyways John, it's going to be a pleasure doing business in a few minutes...after all where else can you cripple a man like I'm about to do to you, and get away with it? John John John, you really should have turned this match down son, your first match here in the bigs and you drew the short straw? Wow, good thing daddy left you money kid because after tonight you'll be something on the health level of a door stop. Anyways Golden One, as you know I'm not a long winded person, I tend to let my actions speak for themselves so...John Gold? Party of two? Your table is ready!

John Gold is standing backstage facing a camera.

Gold- Tonight the world will see just what John Gold is all about. Tonight the world will see a new Television Champion!

John Gold turns and makes his way towards the curtain as the scene cuts to ringside.

13(c) vs. John Gold

Tex: We're awaiting the arrival of the Asylum's newest Television, Th1rt3en... this is how he won the gold, just last week on Insomnia!

The tron flickers into life to show clips from last weeks Bar Room Brawl between Th1rt3en and Matthew Toddi, ending in a new TV champion being crowned, after a massive Lights Out DDT on the floor. A groggy Th1rt3en walks away from the stricken former champion with the belt in his grasp

Back in the arena, Deep Purple's 'Perfect Strangers' hits on the speaker system. No darkness, no pyros, no over the top camera effects. As the beat of music kicks in, John Gold appears from the back grasping a white sports towel. His eyes are completley fixed on the ring as he makes his way past the adoring AWA hardcore fans. Fans try to get a touch of one of the brightest young talents the business has to offer today but he is unfazed

Stormy Canyon: Introducing the challenger to the Television Title in this Tables Match...... He hails from Los Angeles California, weighing in at two hundred and sixty pounds... "The Golden Gun"... JOHN... GOLD!!

Duff: A baptism of fire for John Gold, that's a guarantee!

When he reaches the ring he slides under the bottom rope, heads to the furthest corner and raises his arm before tossing his white sports towel into the front row of seats. He climbs down from the turnbuckle and turns, always looking intense and ready for the gauntlet that stands before him

Tex: Gotta hand it to him.. Gold doesn't looked phased one bit!

Duff: Yeah, just you wait!

Tex: It'll be interesting to see just how the fans here in Charlotte take to both of these combatants... neither have a particular allegiance, but Th1rt3en definitely enjoyed the adulation of the fans last week!

Duff: Anyone that faces Matthew Toddi gets the adulation of the crowd!

Hellion begins to play around the arena as smoke engulfs the top of the ramp. Purple lights from inside the smoke give off an eerie glow and as Th1rt3en begins to rise from under the ramp, white strobes flicker giving off the illusion of lightning

Tex: Here comes the AWA's new TV Champion!

Duff: No mincing of words from this guy, Tex... he showed up to make some money and do what he does best... Kick some ass!

Tex: For sure, you know exactly what you're gonna get from Th1rt3en!

The music goes into Electric Eye as Th1rt3en walks through the smoke, beats his chest and runs down to the ring, title belt strapped round his waist. Once inside he shakes the ring ropes then stands on the second rope beating his chest again. Finally he hands the title belt to Chip Long and turns to face John Gold, who is still doing a good ob of keeping his composure. The bell rings

Tex: Prime chance for John Gold to make an instant impact on the AWA!

Duff: Just the small matter of putting Th1rt3en through a table! HA!

John Gold looks to start in a measured manner, but that plan goes out the window as Th1rt3en piles towards him from the corner and takes him by surprise with a big clothesline, bundling the newcomer into the turnbuckle and laying into him with lightning rights and lefts, barely stopping to catch his breath. The punches turn to knee's to the gut, the crowd cheering the bright start to the match. As John Gold struggles to defend himself, Th1rt3en starts stomping a mudhole in his challenger, forcing him to be seated in the corner. Chip Long eventually breaks it up at the sight of an accidental low blow to the groin from the champ, who breaks off and beats his chest to a frantic crowd

Tex: He's gonna have to do better than that... lightning start from the TV Champ!

Gold returns to his feet reasonably quickly and does his best to regain his initial composure and brushing off the opening assault from his wild opponent. He cranks his neck and heads for Th1rt3en who is goading him on. The two lock up, but this time it's Gold that gains the upper hand with a sharp jab to the cut and an inverted atomic drop, bring a mass "OOOO" from the crowd as Th1rt3en holds his groin and crunches his face before being sent to the mat with a clothesline. A series of sharp knee drops follow to the rib cage before a perfectly executed elbow drop to the chest. Gold is constantly thinking, as if he's mapping the match out in his head, applying a headlock sleeper from the side, his muscles constricting the neck of the champion and restricting the airflow

Duff: He's slowed the Th1rt3en express down, gotta give him that!

Tex: Very methodical approach from John Gold here...

Wrenching the neck of his opponent, Gold tenses his arm every few seconds, trying to force the air out and stop the airflow in. As Th1rt3en wilts ever so slightly, Gold releases the hold and whilst the Hawaiian is still upright, drop kicks him in between the shoulder blades. He gets back to his feet to take a quick breath before dragging Th1rt3en up by the hair and sending him into the ropes, landing a perfect hip toss with authority to the mat, Th1rt3en clutching his back. Still as measured as before, The Golden Gun lifts his opponent again and sends him to the turnbuckle, mooching over before striking the bare chest of Th1rt3en with a series of chops, drawing the standard "woo's" from the crowd

Tex: Th1rt3en looks a bit taken back here...

Duff: He better snap out of it... this is a tables match, not a damn training session! Get the splinters flying!

Gold switches attack, grabbing the middle rope either side of the turnbuckle and driving his shoulder slowly but powerfully into the gut of Th1rt3en. After the third attempt however, the champion puffs his cheeks and clutches John Gold around the waist before lifting him into the air with a perfect gut wrench and slamming him down to the mat onto his back. The crowd cheer as the momentum looks to have turned again. Th1rt3en puffs his chest out and scans the crowd before rolling Gold out of the ring with his boot, John landing on all fours on the mat outside, right in front of the commentators. The champ follows him out through the ropes and as Gold rolls over onto this back, lands a perfect bionic elbow off the apron into the heart of the Golden Gun. The Hawaiian looks around momentarily and then starts a fervent search under the ring apron. After a moment of moving stuff around under the canvas, he slides a wooden table out and lays it next to the stricken newcomer, who again is on all fours. After a few stomps to the head of his opponent, Th1rt3en begins to set up the table adjacent to the ring apron and signals that this one is over

Tex: Th1rt3en wants to wrap this one up quickly...

Duff: I'm not surprised after last week's brawl! A big ask to fight for the title in hardcore matches twice in a row... but he's not one to turn down the challenge!

The crowd raise to their feet and cheer the champion on as he grabs Gold's hair and lifts him to his feet, setting him up for a suplex...

Duff: Say good night, Mr Gold!

.. but just as Th1rt3en takes the strain, John Gold drives a quick knee into the groin and hits a reversal Fisherman's suplex, only the thin mat protecting Th1rt3en's back from the concrete floor

Tex: I've told you before about speaking too soon, Duff! Credit where it's due, Gold's given himself a good showing tonight.

The two men lie on the mats, assessing their injuries and catching their breath as the crowd applaud Gold's reversal. After several moments of shuffling around on the floor, John Gold is the first man to make a move. He brings Th1rt3en to his feet and lays down a few right hands to the forehead, followed by a combination of forearm blows, chops and finally a head butt. The head butt, however, has seemingly no effect. He connects again, but this only serves to infuriate the TV champ and his eyes glare a hole in John Gold's head. The crowd again shows growing excitement as a third head butt attempt is blocked before Th1rt3en lands one of his own, sending Gold off into a spin towards the steelsteps, where he takes a moment to collect his thoughts. Th1rt3en looks pumped as he follows Gold to the steps and delivers a perfect Bulldog with authority onto the steel steps, Chip Long reminding the champ that only tables are legal in this one

Duff: Don't go and get yaself disqualified now, champ!

Tex: Chip Long issuing a final warning there to Th1rt3en... tables are the only legal objects allowed in this one!

The impact seems to have cut Gold open, and this is confirmed when he rolls over onto his back to reveal a trickle of blood leaking from a cut above his eye! This only serves to rejuvinate the champion even more and he quickly lands a splash onto his opponent, following it up with a fist drop to the chest. And another! He signals to the crowd that the end is coming and sets John Gold up for a piledriver on the outside... the crowd cheering him on. As he goes to hoist Gold up however, the challenger resists and remains in between Th1rt3en's legs. Not even a few forearm smashes across the back can relent Gold's resistance, before out of nowhere Gold executes a perfect back body drop and sends Th1rt3en flying over the crowd barrier!

Tex: Gold is not giving up, is he?!!

Duff: Gotta give him that!

Tex: A classic back and forth encounter we're enjoying, here!

As the crowd stand a few feet back from the stricken TV champion, Gold takes a breather on the barricade and nurses his head wound, wiping blood and sweat from his forehead and flicking it onto the body of Th1rt3en. He goads the champion from above to get up, to which Th1rt3en seemingly obliges, climbing back to his feet and engaging Gold... both exchange tired but heavy blows to each other from either side of the barrier. The crowd rile up as Th1rt3en catches one of Gold's attempts and goes for a short-arm clothesline from across the barricade, but Gold again is a step ahead, ducking the clothesline before grabbing the champ from behind and executing a sublime belly to back suplex back onto the mats

Duff: Woah!

Tex: Technique and guile versus brute force and adrenaline... this one's fifty, fifty!

Gold gets up and sets Th1rt3en up for another Belly to Back suplex, but this time Th1rt3en is prepared and manages to block the hold. A few elbows to the head of Gold forces the champ to break free and then kicks Gold in the midsection and then executes a Guttwrench Suplex of his own. This one sends Gold crashing down hard on the canvas as Th1rt3en gets to his feet and grabs a table adn sets it up on top of the steel security railing and the ring apron. He then turns towards Gold and blasts him several times on the back with mighty forearms before lifting him up for a Powerbomb, but just as Th1rt3en turns around and to plant Gold into the table it is Gold that somehow stops Th1rt3en from doing this as he is starting to pound away on the forhead of Th1rt3en. This causes the champion to stagger backwards as Gold manages to grab the steel ring post and pounds away at the face of Th1rt3en with his other hand. Th1rt3en then surprises Gold as he suddenly blasts Gold face first into the steel ring post and then grabs him by the throat with one hand and delivers a big time One handed chokeslam through the table and it breaks in half. The referee calls for the bell as the match is ended and Th1rt3en retains his champiosnhip belt once again

winner: 13

Immediately after the 13 vs. John Gold match, a camera catches Anthony Phoenix dressed in his wrestling gear speaking to a couple of men in suits. He smiles as they hand him an envelope. The two men then walk off. As soon as they walk off, Anthony starts to walk towards the locker room again when he’s approached by Bruce Dixon.>

Bruce Dixon: I couldn’t help but notice that you’ve got a very large envelope in your hand. Mind telling the AWA Universe just what might be inside..

Anthony looks at Bruce and then at the envelope, alternating several times.

Anthony Phoenix: Look suffice it to say, this right here is my insurance policy. If nothing happens to me before, during or after my match then the the documents inside won’t see the light of the day. But if anything and do mean anything does happen well...let’s just say it’ll be a cold day before anything will happen again.

Anthony smiles at the camera as he flashes the envelope. He turns around and walks of leaving Bruce looking slightly confused.

Backstage waiting for his match, the man known as Hank Henry waits with the The Kid, Alex whom he was training to be a pro wrestler.

Hank: How are you hanging out there kid?

Alex: Okay I guess, everybody backstage here treats me like crap though. Hank: They are suppose to, it's part of paying your dues, best advice if one of them ask you to do something do it.

Alex: What if they ask me to hit you?

Hank: Half ass it, but what you really need to do is pay attention to my match tonight, I am going to show you how infective KJB's style is, he praises the commie, and the Berlin wall still fell, American is still standing.

Alex: And if you lose?

Hank just shakes his head, Hank: I told you kid, don't worry about that. And the screen fades to black.

KGB (c) vs. Hank Henry III

Stormy takes to the center of the ring and the crowd quiets down. She raises the mic to her lips and starts to speak.

Stormy: Ladies and gentleman. Introducing first from Moscow, Russia. He’s weighing in at two-hundred and nineteen pounds and he is your AWA International Champion! Help me welcome…K…G…B!!!!!!

The lights go down in the arena, and the sound of a nuclear warning siren begins blaring. And red lights begin flashing all over the arena. After a few seconds of this, a red spotlight focuses on the stage showing KGB. He stands at attention and gives the Russian salute before proceeding to the ring. Tonight, he is sans Cheka as he approaches the ring. He is moving slowly down the ramp, shaking hands with some of the fans as he goes. Finally as reaches the ring he just up on to the apron, and then grabs the rope and jumps over it and into the ring. He walks over and hands his ushanka to Stormy and then goes to each corner posing and showing off the International championship belt. Once he finishes with that he hands the belt to Stormy. She in turn hands it off the ref and starts to speak again as KGB takes to his corner.

Stormy: And introducing next in this non-title match. He hails from Ellis, New York and weighs in at two-hundred and fourty-eight pounds. Ladies and gentlemen I give you Haaaaaaaaank Henry the Thiiiiiiird!!!

Soul coughing comes over the PA sytem and Hank makes his way out with a limping Chaplin Graves with him. They make there way down the rampway and to the ring. Chaplin moves to the announcers table and waits at its side. Hank climbs in to the ring and holds one arm high. Stormy then exits the ring and the ref gives his words to the competitors. He then motions for them to take there corners and calls for the bell to get rung.

Tex: And here we go…

Duff: This is gonna be a heck of a matchup Tex.

The two run to the middle of the ring to meet each other. Exchanges of rights and lefts are made until Hank throws a knee into the midsection of KGB. Doubled over the man is hooked into a suplex and hits the canvas hard.

Tex: And the veteran gets the upper hand here early on in this matchup.

Duff: You said it Tex. I think someone should show this communist how things are done around here.

Hank goes and drops a quick elbow on the fallen Russian and then does it again a couple more times. He gets to his feet and then goes to lay a boot into KGB. Rolling out of the way KGB quickly gets to his feet and lays a dropkick into Henry. KGB gets back to his feet and drags Hank to his feet as well and sends him into the ropes with a hard irish whip. Hank comes back with some force but KGB ducks under and awaits his return. Off the ropes the second time Hank is met by a spinning heel kick and both of them hit the ground. Using the position to his advantage KGB quickly locks in and arm bar on Hank.

Tex: Did you see that Tex?

Tex: I’m sitting right here Duff. But the Champion has seemed to come back and start dominating.

The ref is down asking Hank if he is going to give up. Hank shakes his head know and starts to drag himself to the ropes. KGB is trying to hold him back but the man’s size is working against him. Hanks foot finally touches the rope and KGB breaks the hold and rolls back to his feet. Hank slowly gets up as well as he shakes his arm a bit. KGB moves back in for the attack and is met by a boot to the stomach. Hank throws a right and another. KGB seems to be rocked on his feet as Henry starts to build up some momentum. Hank throws him into the ropes and bounces off the others himself. Hank blots at him throwing his arm out for a devastating clothesline.

Duff: Here it comes Tex!

Tex: Looks that way.

At the last minute KGB seems to duck under the arm and latch on. Cranking Hank’s arm back and bringing his other around his neck as they both fall to the ground. KGB cranks back and locks in the Bolshevik Dream. The crowd goes nuts as the ref drops down to hank to see if he’s okay. Hank tries to kick his feet to get to the ropes again and again Hank manages to get his feet to the ropes. The referee turns his attention to KGB and tries to get him off Hank. Finally KGB releases and gets to his feet with his hands in the air, thinking he has won the match.

Duff: He did not win!!!!

The referee starts to explain that Hank had his feet on the ropes and that the match continues. KGB upset turns around and sees Hank slowly rising to his feet. He runs to the ropes and comes off with a cross body block. Hank somehow manages to catch him, tosses him over his head to the outside before climbing out of the ring and assaulting KGB on the outside.

Tex: Wow!! I did not see that one coming!!

Hank grabs the champion and whips him into the steel security railing before clotheslining him into the fans. Hank has totally forgotten about the ten count that the referee has put on both him and the champ as the referree already got to the count of 8. Hank tries to go for a Body Slam, but he got reversed by KGB who blocks it and then executes a suplex when the referee calls for the bell and counts both men out.

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has ordered this match to end in a double count out due to the fact that neither men were able to enter the ring within the ten count!!!

KGB land Hank continue to fight each other until security breaks them up and takes them to the back.

Winner: Draw

We hear the familiar sounds of TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hit the speakers and the fans immediately know they are about to be blessed by a visit from their newly crowned Universal Champion, Bill Barnhart. They see the TRON come to life and they are blessed with the image of Bill Barnhart on the large screen. We are not sure if Bill is still in his dressing room, or in another location to air this segment, but it really doesn't matter as long as the fans can glimpse this very popular champion. The fans quiet down as Bill makes some comments.

Oh how sweet it is to once again be the Universal Champion in Asylum Wrestling Alliance. Now that I have obtained the Universal Title for the second time, I have only to obtain the Tag Team Titles and the Television Title to complete my second Grand Slam. Shouldn’t be too difficult to accomplish that eh? Anyway I didn’t come here to talk about my greatness, since you all know how great I am already, so let me switch gears and talk to my opponent, Anthony Phoenix, and our Special Guest Referee, KGB.

Phoenix, you are doomed no matter how you crunch the numbers. I mean, come on young man, if you tried to calculate the huge odds against you in this match, your calculator would not be able to handle the high numbers it comes out with, and your calculator would explode in your hands. Legend Killer my ass! You couldn't kill the Legend which is Bill Barnhart if you dropped a nuclear bomb on my house in Oakland while I was relaxing on the couch in the living room! Just remember that leading up to our match tonight I have constantly told you I TOLD YOU SO!!! I TOLD YOU SO!!! So, Phoenix, when you do lose, please don't go around telling everyone that you didn't know you were going to lose because I already told you so a dozen times or more.

Now on to the little piss ant, called KGB, who somehow managed to get himself assigned as Special Guest Referee for my match with Anthony Phoenix. I have a few comments for you KGB. The first is that you are in a match against Hank Henry III just prior to my match with Anthony Phoenix. I have been in the ring many times against Hank and I know he is one crazy sumbitch. I have a feeling that after Hank Henry kicks the crap out of you, when you show up to Referee our match, you won't be in any shape to attack us and ruin our match for us. Now, KGB, I have seen some underhanded, low down, disgusting, scrape the bottom of the barrel, things before, but to be such a chicken that you have to send a girl, Cheka, to chase after Anthony Phoenix last week, to attack him backstage, was beyond pathetic. Do you think Cheka would have been successful in her attack if you hadn't previously whacked Phoenix in the head with the Timekeeper's bell? Do you think if Anthony wasn't still a bit dazed by the Timekeeper's bell shot that Cheka would have lasted five seconds beating on Phoenix? You already know the answer to that question so I am not going to bore everyone by repeating what everyone already knows.

I know I can defeat Anthony Phoenix without you interfering in the match. I don't need your interference to be successful and I don't want it. And I am giving you fair warning before our match takes place that if you, as Special Guest Referee, get out of control and start meddling in our match, I will personally ensure that you will be put out of action for quite a long time. And if I am required to kick your ass, and if that little ass kisser Cheka decides to get into the ring and get in my face, I may have to break her jaw so that her jaw will be wired shut for a few weeks to shut her up. I am simply not going to take any crap from you as our Referee. And just to make sure that you won't pull any crap during our match, arrangements have been made to have a real Referee nearby to jump in and officiate the match should you suddenly become "incapacitated" and you are unable to continue as our Referee. Got the hint punk? See you and Phoenix later tonight.

The crowd is buzzing over the harsh comments just delivered by Bill Barnhart. The TRON quickly goes black as Bill Barnhart is done with his comments.

Bill Barnhart(c) vs. Anthony Phoenix (KGB Special refree)

As the “Russian National Anthem” kicks into the sound system, KGB appears wearing a referee’s shirt at the stage entrance with Cheka who wears a similar but smaller referee’s shirt. They slowly walk to the ring. Upon entering he and Cheka move to the center of the ring and stand at attention for the playing of the Russian National Anthem. Once the Anthem is over he hands his ushanka to Cheka as she exits the ring and stands guard at ringside as KGB prepares to get ready to referee the upcoming main event.

Duff: Sweet! Cheka’s going to be our ringside enforcer for the main event!!! Woo-hoo!!!

KGB waits for the two competitors as Stormy Canyon is now the one on the microphone.

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the main event of the evening! Introducing first, originally from Palermo, Italy, weighing in at 215 pounds…Anthony Phoenix!!!

The lights go out with just a solid spot light aimed at the middle of the stage. As the guitar riff of “Change Me” by Trae Vedder plays, Phoenix walks out with a hood over his head. He stands in the middle of the spot with his head down. When the lead singer starts to sing, Phoenix looks up and rips off his hood. He holds out his arms as he taunts the crowd, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Phoenix then starts to walk towards the ring with the spot light still on him and with a look of disgrace towards KGB on his face. Phoenix stops right as he gets to the ring. He shakes his head and walks over to the ring steps and walks up the steps slowly and deliberately. Once on the apron, he enters the ring and glares over at the special guest referee.

Once inside Phoenix walks to the middle of the ring all the while the spot is still on him. When he reaches mid ring he stares at the camera as he holds his arms up forming an 'X'. Phoenix scowls at the camera as his music begins to fade out.

Tex: It’s well documented that Phoenix is not any sort of ally to KGB. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they tear into one another before our main event is over here tonight!

Duff: Ya think? At least it’ll be fair though, because KGB isn’t fond of Bulldog either!!!

Stormy: And his opponent, from Oakland, California, weighing in at 240 pounds…he is the AWA Universal Champioooon…“Bulldog” Bill Barnharrrrrt!!!

As if on cue, TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speaker. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris his English Bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to several clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent for the pinfall, or he is using one of his many submission moves to make them tap out. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains wearing the AWA Universal Championship belt around his waist. Bill comes out dressed in one of his trademark wrestling outfits. He walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink and white pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill. Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd with a huge smile on his face even though he gets mostly boos from the crowd. Meanwhile Anthony gives a stare of death towards Bill. It’s now that Bill then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill walks around the ring to acknowledge all the people in the crowd and he maintains his huge smile all the time although the crowd is booing him for his bad turn. Bill then takes up residence in a corner to await the start of the match, he too not being too fond of KGB being the referee.

Tex: Well, all the pieces are in place. We’re ready to get this one started!

KGB calls for the bell but then steps back and allows Bill and Anthony to face one another. It doesn’t take long for Anthony and Bill to begin mixing it up in the center of the ring, showing the animosity that they have towards one another by exchanging pretty vicious blows between them. Anthony eventually wins the battle of blows as Bill is reeling a bit. Anthony takes this opportunity to set up for and drill Bill with a spinning wheel kick which knocks Bill for a loop. Bill falls backwards into the ropes but quickly uses the ropes to pull himself up. Anthony goes to clothesline Bill up and over the top rope but Bill is smart and ducks down, pulling the top rope down as Anthony goes flying out to the floor!

Duff: Ah yes! The veteran instincts of Bill Barnhart! Nobody can take those away from him.

Tex: That’s exactly what Anthony needed to avoid.

KGB immediately begins to do a count to 10 and is actually going pretty fast as he’s already up to 4.

Tex: Hey! KGB is counting WAY too fast!!!

Duff: He’d probably do the same if it was Bill out there! He’s not being impartial at least!

Tex: Oh come on!!!

Bill Barnhart slides out of the ring and grabs Anthony Phoenix as KGB continues his count, already up to 7. Bill slides Anthony back in at the fast count of 8 before sliding in himself as KGB reaches 9. KGB shakes his head and stops his count as Bill begins to assume control of the match-up.

Tex: Bill obviously didn’t want to win that way. He wants to beat Anthony clean without a count-out victory.

Duff: Yeah, to show his domination! KGB, our guest referee, apparently doesn’t want to give him that chance.

Bill mounts Anthony and tries to get some sort of a submission hold but Anthony begins to roll over. Anthony actually escapes the clutches of the Universal Champion and begins to stand up. But Bill is quick to recover and locks in a hammerlock lift, getting Anthony a bit off the ground. Bill doesn’t let go and it looks like Anthony is about to tap out. KGB pays close attention, but Anthony shakes his head, saying no, that he won’t give up. He fights out of the hammerlock as KGB scowls in their direction. Cheka meanwhile paces a little bit at ringside, standing guard all the while.

Duff: Cheka still standing guard…

Tex: Good grief Duff. This match isn’t about Cheka! Remember, the winner of this main event tonight gets to choose the stipulation for the Universal Title match at Asylum Breakout!

Duff: Meh. I’m too busy watching the REAL action… Besides, the match will only finish when KGB wants it to.

Bill doesn’t let Anthony get to far though as he pulls Anthony up from behind. He goes to wrap his arms around Anthony’s head to execute a brain buster, but Anthony escapes and wheels around, able to connect with a Pele kick to the ribs of Barnhart. Barnhart doubles over in pain a bit and Anthony takes advantage of the situation by hitting a double axe handle to the back. Bill reels a bit as Anthony runs over to the nearest set of ropes, sets himself at the top and comes right off with a somersault corkscrew leg drop which catches Bill right in the back of the head, flooring the Universal Champion to the canvas. Anthony goes for the pinfall as KGB counts.

1!

2!

Bill kicks out and begins to work his way to his feet as Anthony does as well. KGB meanwhile lounges in a corner and waits for the action to continue. Anthony moves towards Bill and goes for a clothesline but Bill thinks the same thing and both end up flat on their backs on the canvas.

Tex: Whoever is first to their feet will have the advantage and notice AGAIN that KGB is counting up a 10 count quickly!!!

KGB: 1…2…3…4…5…6…

Anthony and Bill both hear the count and scramble to their feet in the nick of time. Both glare in his direction but Anthony looks a bit too long and Bill reaches out and is able to grab Anthony by the head. Bill goes to execute a Bulldog, but Anthony is able to duck down and not catch the brunt of the move. Bill turns back around and goes to attempt another one, but again Anthony ducks and Bill’s momentum carries him into the ropes. Anthony takes Bill from behind and takes him over with a throw suplex which causes Bill to crash and burn on the canvas. Anthony is quick to react and goes for a cover. KGB counts, but not as fast as he has been…

1….

2….

Bill is able to kick out at the count of 2. Anthony pounds the mat and then glares over at KGB. No longer able to control himself, he runs towards KGB, but KGB gets out of the way and Anthony can’t halt his momentum and goes flying head first into the turnbuckle as the crowd throws out a reaction of boos.

Duff: That’s what Anthony gets for losing his temper!!! Don’t mess with the referee!

KGB smirks at Anthony and turns his attention to Bill. Cheka meanwhile grins at ringside as she continues to patrol the area. Bill turns away from KGB and goes back to work on Anthony. He pulls him out of the corner and places Anthony on the canvas. He goes to lock in an STF, but as he almost has it in, Anthony is recovering and begins to fight against it. Anthony is able to roll over and avoid the STF being completely locked in. Anthony holds his arms out and reaches for the ropes. Cheka however is on that side of the ring and she pulls the ropes away a little bit.

Tex: Oh come on now!!! This is ridiculous!

Duff: It’s like I said before Tex. They have equal hatred towards both. It’s fair!

From the looks of things Anthony is about to tap out, but it’s KGB that comes from behind and kicks Bill, allowing Anthony to reach out further and grab a hold of the ropes. The crowd boos as both Bill and Anthony are still down.

Tex: Can we PLEASE get an unbiased ref out here?!

Duff: NO!

Bill is the first to begin to get to his feet. He glances down at Cheka before looking at KGB. He snaps Anthony up from the canvas and goes to lift him up for a body slam. He actually does connect with this before he goes to pick up Anthony again. He places him into piledriver position but somehow Anthony is able to backslide down Bill’s back. He attempts to roll Bill up for a pin, but Bill is smart enough to know what’s coming and rolls out of the way. However Bill finds himself by the ropes and Cheka pulls Bill by the feet, leaving Bill hanging on the ring apron. Anthony turns around and sees where Bill is and drags him fully back into the ring. He places him down in the middle and quickly ascends to the top of the nearest turnbuckle.

Tex: Whoa! This is Phoenix’s chance to end this one! And here he goes for the Best Frogsplash Ever!

Anthony comes off with the B.F.E., however KGB intervenes and delivers a dropkick right to the chest of Phoenix. Phoenix drops to the canvas in a bad way as Cheka claps her hands, cheering the referee’s actions. KGB then backs away as Bill begins to get to his feet. He finds where Anthony is and then looks at KGB real quickly before shaking his head and going for a pinfall. KGB however doesn’t count but instead nods towards his comrade Cheka. Cheka slides into the ring and quickly counts.

1!

2!

3!!!

Cheka calls for the bell as KGB just stares blankly, first at Bill Barnhart as he rolls off of Anthony and then down at Anthony as TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS begins to play.

winner: Bill Barnhart

Duff: Wow, talk about one heck of an ending!

Tex: You're not kidding partner. Both competitors should be glad with how they...OH WHAT THE HELL!

Tex is screaming out as KGB attacks Phoenix from behind, delivering a vicious clothesline to the back of KGB's head. Bill Barnhart rolls out of the ring as KGB turns towards him. KGB points at Bill, but Bill merely taps his temple, sending the message that he is 'too smart'. Though it seems Bill has spoken too soon as here comes James Crow from behind, sending Bill Barnhard to the floor with a bulldog of his own! Crow rolls the Universal Champion back into the ring, and KGB begins stomping a mudhole in Anthony Phoenix. Shane West and Morbius come in from the crowd, and jump into the ring. Anthony Phoenix fights his way back to his feet and begins throwing right hands at KGB rocking him back, but Shane grabs him from behind, allowing KGB to get the upper hand again. Morbius comes over and helps Crow w/ the Universal Champion.

Duff: Where is Axiom? Their friend is being jumped in there!

The camera rolls backstage where we see the Axiom locker room, but a giant metal pole runs through the door handle and some steel grating, locking the door shut! You can hear shouting from inside and banging, but the door won't open.

The camera pans back to the ring, where KGB has the Bolshevik Dream locked on Anthony Phoenix and is yelling into his ear, while Morbius hits 'Execution Reborn' on the Bulldog Bill Barnhart. Shane is directing traffic while KGB contines the Bolshevik Dream on Phoenix. Crow takes a running swipe with Mary, and Mary's barb wire rips into Phoenix's abdomen. KGB lets go of his hold, and Phoenix drops to the mat, holding his abdomen. Cheka gets down so she is right next to Phoenix's face and begins talking trash to him for daring to lay his hands on KGB last week. Morbius rolls out of the ring to get a chair while Crow sits on Barnharts back holding Mary to the back of Barnharts neck, pinning him down with the barbwire digging into the flesh. Morbius returns with the Chair. He wraps it around the Bulldogs head, and Crow takes a giant wind up swing, and slams Mary down on the chair with a SICKENING Crunch.

Tex: Oh DEAR GOD. That's our Universal Champion! What is Execution doing?!

Duff: I think they're doing exactly what they promised. They're Executing the Competition! Shane West is the #2 contender for the Universal Title...who's getting jumped in there?

Tex: Good Call partner, the #1 contender and the Universal Champion! Execution is sending a CLEAR message.

Shane West finally enters the fray, walking over and locking "Times Up" on the Universal Champion. Bill Barnhart tries to fight out of it, but eventually can't, and is forced to start tapping, but as its not a match, the tapping out does nothing! After another 10-15 seconds, he lets go of the hold, and Bill holds his head and neck, laying facedown in the ring. Anthony Phoenix is fighting to his feet, but KGB is there hitting him over the head with the steel folding chair they wrapped around Bill Barnhart's head only moments before. Phoenix remains standing before slowly falling backward and hitting the mat. Cheka rolls Phoenix out of the ring, and he lands with a thump. Shane takes the steel folding chair from KGB and sets it down over Bill Barnhart, and sits in the chair, so that Bills Head is sticking out from under the chair between Shane's feet. He stares down at Bill as Cheka grabs him a microphone.

Shane: The Universal Champion...and his #1 contender. I told you Execution was coming tonight to continue sending their message. I think that message has been sent. Don't you Bill? Well, let me have the chance to deliver one more. Let it be said I'm a patient man, Bill. I'm the #2 contender to the Universal Title. I could demand a shot alongside Anthony Phoenix. I could demand a triple threat, or a shot all my own...but I'm not going to do that. I'll be happy to wait until after you and Phoenix have your match at the upcoming Insomnia Supershow. I don't even care who I face. Though, I have to admit Bill... I really do hope its you. You see...I have a challenge for you... but now isn't the time. No, now isn't the right time at all. When I issue my challenge, it has to be a PRIME TIME event, because I'm kind of a Prime Time Player. No...tonight is more about sending the message. And I think that message has been sent.

Shane: Bill Barnhart...Anthony Phoenix. You have just been...

Shane drops the microphone on Bills upper chest pinned under the folding chair at his feet, and lifts his right hand into the air in victory. The Crowd screams out 'EXECUTED', and Execution raises their arms in victory, but suddenly.....

Whoa!!! That's the boss!!!!!

Gothminister's Darkness hits as Goth comes from backstage and the owner of the company looks pissed

Goth: For weeks I had to listen to yapping bitches about KGB being held back by me for my plans to keep my final AWA Universal Champion away from him.Now it is Shane that wants to run the show, destroying MY champion and MY number one contender!!!! You know something? Next week you KGB are going to be suspended!!! And YOU Shane West will have exactly THAT!! what you deserve. And trust me boys, when I make plans.... YOU WILL BE EXECUTED!!!!

Duff: HELL YEAH!!!

The show comes to an end as Goth and Execution stare at each other while the crowd goes wild
