We see Bill Barnhart walking down the hallway backstage at the Target Center in Minneaplis, Minnesota. He is looking at the dressing room doors looking for a particular dressing room. He is a few doors away when the dressing room door for Jason Stevens opens and Jason Stevens, Steve Ramone, and Carrie Stevens walk into the hallway. Bill calls to them and the three of them stop and wonder what he is up to.

BULLDOG BILL: Hey Stevens! I need to talk to you!

Bill runs down the hallway toward Jason Stevens. Carrie gets behind Jason while Steve Ramone gets between Stevens and Barnhart in case there is an attack.

BULLDOG BILL: Ramone what the hell are you doing? I am not going to attack Jason! Get the hell out of my way!

Bill pushes Ramone aside and he approaches Jason Stevens.

BULLDOG BILL: Jason! I needed to talk to you before your match tonight. Do you realize that with your victory over Big Bad Casey last Insomnia that you became the only other wrestler on the Roster besides me to have obtained 20 or more victories?

JASON STEVENS: Oh! I didn't realize I reached that milestone. Thanks for telling me.

BULLDOG BILL: Think about it. I am 23-12-3 and Fang is 16-13-1 and Erik Black, who you are facing tonight is 19-18-2. Now of course your overall record is 20-41-1 which means you have lost twice as many matches as you have won, but that still doesn't overshadow the fact that you are only the second wrestler in Asylum Wrestling Alliance to obtain 20 or more victories. And if you win against Erik Black tonight you will have kept him from becoming the third wrestler to obtain 20 or more victories.

JASON STEVENS: What do you mean IF I defeat Erik Black tonight? Of course I am going to defeat Erik Black tonight! And I want to pass you up as the wrestler with the most victories in Asylum Wrestling Alliance. The only way you can stop me is to get back into the ring and wrestle some more.

BULLDOG BILL: I can do that. Just stay out of my way from here out Jason!

They are announcing the match with Jason Stevens and Erik Black so Jason, Ramone, and Carrie turn and head off to the entrance area to make their entrance. Stevens looks back at Bill Barnhart who gives him the THUMBS UP sign.

TLC Match

Erik Black vs. Jason Stevens

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to AWA Wrecking The Halls!!! Your opening contest is the Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match. Over my head hangs a briefcase that holds a contract for a future title shot of the winner’s choice! Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada…weighing in at 175 pounds…Jasooooon Steveeeeens!!!

Tex: Well a shot here tonight for these two struggling superstars to grab the contract and perhaps turn their AWA career around for the better.

Duff: Neither of them deserve it being their poor performances as of late, but this jobber coming out deserves it FAR less than Erik Black. Erik for the win here, which will make him the third wrestler in AWA history to reach 20 wins.

The opening riff for "Room For One More" by Anthrax is heard over the PA. As soon as the baseline kicks in Jason emerges from the back with his mentor Steve Ramone. who follows him close behind alongside Carrie. The crowd is mixed in their reaction to the trio as whilst they hate Jason they love Steve and Carrie. Jason rolls into the ring and bounces off of the ropes as Steve and Carrie take up positions at ringside. They know how big of a match this is for Jason on the pay per view stage so they let Jason concentrate and prepare for the battle that’s about to be right before them.

Tex: He looks ready.

Duff: Yeah, ready to lose!

Stormy: And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California…weighing in at 225 pounds…he is “Simply The Best”…Eriiiiik Blaaaaack!!!

As the cameras zoom around noticing a decent amount of tables, ladders and chairs around the ringside area, the lights go out as the first notes of “Run this Town” begin to play on the PA. As soon as Jay Z starts his first verse, a spotlight shines on the entrance ramp. In that light stands Erik Black. He has a black towel draped over his head. He stares intently at the ring, before slowly making his way down to the ring. He never takes his eyes off it. He slides under the bottom rope and stands in the center of the ring. The lights come back on as Erik takes the towel off of his head and throws it into the audience, not showing much care as he goes through his normal pre-match routine.

The bell almost immediately rings and Jason slides out of the ring out to the floor. He picks up a chair while Erik waits for Jason to climb back into the ring to fight like a man, without any weaponry as an assist.

Tex: I think Erik’s being a bit too cocky here. He’s basically telling Jason Stevens that he can take him on take him out all by himself.

Jason however doesn’t drop the chair. He rolls into the ring where he is greeted with a few foot stomps from Erik Black to the side of Jason’s head. Black is able to easily take control. As soon as he stops stomping Stevens into oblivion, he picks up the lighter man and brings him over with a Northern Lights Suplex. He keeps Stevens hooked up and then delivers a Release German Suplex. Stevens’ back bounces off the mat and Erik believes that Jason might already be out cold.

Erik climbs out of the ring, doesn’t waste much time in grabbing a ladder, places the ladder into the ring underneath the bottom rope, and then gets back in the ring himself. Erik sets the ladder up. By the time he does though Jason finally shows a bit of movement. Erik however sees this and snaps Jason up in a Muy Thai clinch. Erik delivers Sin With A Grin as the crowd here in Minnesota murmurs to one another, wondering if this might end up being the quickest TLC Match in wrestling history.

Duff: Oh my gosh! See? I told you Jason Stevens sucked this bad! You would think he would be able to actually do something being that Erik lost to Ronin last week!

Tex: I guess that loss really DID anger Erik Black.

Erik still feels that Jason might get up, so he follows up his previous maneuver by hitting the Grand Slam…which he ends with tying in an Anaconda Vice. Jason is no longer conscious so the referee tells Erik to let him go. Erik throws Jason to the canvas and then slowly climbs the ladder as the entire crowd boos. Erik makes it to the top and easily pulls down the briefcase. He opens it on top of the ladder to reveal…….NOTHING inside! Erik looks really pissed off, expecting that he’d be able to sign a contract for a title shot.

Tex: What?! There’s no contract in there!

Duff: There must be some sort of explanation!

Stormy: Here is your winner of the match…Eriiiik Blaaaack!!!

Erik climbs down the ladder with the empty briefcase, but before his music can hit due to him winning the match, “Until The Day I Die” by Story of the Year plays. It doesn’t take long for Jay Gold to come out onto the stage and point right at Erik Black.

Jay: Sorry for the little mix-up Erik, but you actually thought that either you or Jason was going to get a free title shot? I don’t think so. You see, champions like Marissa Swanson EARN their way to the top. This was nothing. Even though you completely obliterated Jason Stevens right now, that’s not saying anything. From what I’ve seen out of you for a while now…and yes, Goth has seen it too…you’ve been coasting. My advice to you Erik, if you no longer have the heart to be in the AWA…then don’t. If you want to put in your resignation from active competition, by all means, Goth’s office is always open…

Back in the ring, Erik Black hurls the empty briefcase towards the wrestler rampway, still pissed off. Erik rolls out of the ring as Jay Gold heads back to the backstage area…

Winner: Erik Black

Erik Black stays in the ring as Jason Stevens makes his way down the ramp way. Erik motions for a mic.

Black: Stop right there Jason. I couldn’t have asked for a better opponent. Sure there are old rivalries against Rex Butler and others, but you didn’t quit tonight and you cant really ask for that. So I give you my thanks…You were a fine….final opponent.

The crowd goes completely silent. It is as if one could hear a pin drop onto the floor

Black: I’ve been on the road for ten years now. I’ve fought for most of that…I’ve made people disappear. I havent had a break. It’s time I hang up these gloves and take that long awaited break.

My carreer has been a great one. It’s been full of rivalries…Full of title wins. I’ve done everything that I could ever dream of doing in this business. Maybe one day I’ll return and claim my dominance over this business once again. Until then..I want to thank each and every one of you out there for following me for these ten years.

Tears flowed from the man’s face as his original entrance music, Death Trend Setta by Crossfade began to blare on the PA system. And Erik slowly made his way up the ramp, slapping hands with fans as he went.

The scene switches to the backstage area of the arena where the camera crew follows Ronin as he stalks the halls, mumbling to himself. After several minutes he stops, turning behind him, spotting the camera and smiling. Eh walks forward, chuckling, stopping a few steps from the camera as he begins to speak.

Of course. This is the part where I stand in front of the camera, giving my final thoughts on my opponents, the match, and the outcome. Very well.
First of all, I have to say that I don’t think it’s any secret who the fans want to see victorious tonight. On one side of the cage, we have the Inmates Dmitri and Chris Shipman, two supposed lunatics who come out here week after week and talk about drinking blood and masturbation. And then on the other side, Ronin and Chase Tomlin. Two men who gave The Family hell two weeks ago, fighting Erik Black and Fang to a draw, followed by my victory over Erik Black in last week’s First Blood match. So you have the outcasts facing the destroyers. After our outing against the Family, the fans are eager now to see what we will do to Dmitri and Shipman.
Now don’t get my wrong, I really don’t give a damn about the opinion of the fans. The buy tickets, they watch the carnage unfold, I draw a paycheck, and that’s it. But I can guarantee they’re going to get their money’s worth tonight.
Let me go ahead and address Chris Shipman’s final words to me. He is another one hear naïve enough to discredit the existence of the Elders. He put his face on my television, trying to tell me that japan was nothing compared to what he will put me through.

Ronin begins to laugh.

And then, almost in the same breath, he tries kissing my ass and telling me that I have potential and that I could make a real name for myself. I can only guess that he’s hoping flattery will lessen the pain he will have to endure tonight. Unfortunately, that is not going to be the case. He has spent this entire week letting his mouth write checks that I’m going to use his bones to cash. He wants to talk about being hardcore, then I will show him the true meaning of the word.
And as far as Dmitri goes, apparently toward the end of this week, he fulfilled my prophecy. He ran and hid in the shadows, just as he always does. I haven’t forgotten about him, either. Perhaps he finally realized that he and Shipman are going to be stepping into that ring tonight with beings far more powerful than themselves, and retreated into Darkness to avoid our fury. Sadly, his fate will be the same as Shipman’s tonight.

With that, Ronin begins laughing again as he turns and walks away. The camera follows him until only his footsteps can be heard echoing through the hallway, then the scene fades to black…

Chris Shipman & Dmitri vs. Ronin & Chase Tomlin

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our Hell In A Cell Tag Team Match!!! Tex Martin: Four bodies inside that structure and the sole intention on your mind is to destroy your opponent!! This is going to be sickening!! Stormy Canyon: The first twosome to come down the aisle are the tag team combination of Chase Tomlin and Ronin!!!

A mixture of both wrestlers entrance songs are being played as Ronin and Tomlin are walking towards the cell. Both men are looking determined to survive the onslaught in the cell.

Stormy Canyon: And their opponents, they are the combined team of Dmitri and Chris Shipman!! The Inmates!!!

Duff Travers: A one time only reunion for the end of the year show!! And what better way to end the year with a final beatdown of these two clowns!!!

All four wrestlers are locked inside the structure of the cell as we see that the door is getting a final check to see if the door is truly locked and the official on the outside puts the key inside his pocket. The bell has started to ring and that signals for the beginning of the match, we can see the two big men get nose to nose with each other as two 300 plus monsters are about to trade blows with each other. We can see Dmitri landing in the first punch on Chase Tomlin as that sends him into the ropes where Dmitri continues to pummel his opponent before delivering an Irish Whip and heading for a running clothesline that surprisingly does not have any effect on the newcomer.

Tex Martin: Wow!!!

We can see on the outside that Shipman is being slammed face first into the cell wall by Ronin before he gets his face lascerated against the steel wall. We already see blood coming from his face before he delivers several elbows into the midsection of Ronin, causing him to stagger backwards and dropped as Shipman delivers a big time Clothesline that sends Ronin down to the canvas. Ronin tries to crawl away from Shipman, but Shipman grabs a television cord from underneath the ring and wraps it around the throat of Ronin and starts to choke him with it.

Duff Travers: This is going to be sick!!!

Meanwhile inside the ring we see that Chase Tomlin has blocked a suplex attempt from Dmitri and nailed a big time Snap Suplex of his own. We can see both men slowly sit up as Tomlin has the advantage over the big man from the Inmates as Dmitri cannot block a big boot to the midsection and then we see Chase deliver a Guttwrench Powerbomb like move on the other 300 plus pounder and then goes for the cover, but Dmitri manages to kick out after the count of one.

Tex Martin: You don't get the big man that easily!!!

Chase slowly slides out of the ring as he sees that Ronin is in danger because he saw that Chris Shipman threw his tag team partner face first into the steel ring post. Causing blood to pour out of his face. Shipman holds on to the cable and aims Ronin to be blasted against the walls of the Cell as Chase grabs him from behind and lifts him up and delivers a modified Back suplex, that sends Shipman crashing on the concrete floor with his head bouncing off the concrete. The fans get to their feet as they relive the move on the Titan Tron and start to chant a Holy shit chant. Ronin and Tomlin slowly get to their feet and look at each other and nod in approval as they turn their attention towards Dmitri. Who has surprised them by climbing the top turnbuckle and coming down with a surprising Moonsault on top of them.

Duff Travers: OH MY GOD!!!! Did you see that??

The fans are erupting as they have seen a move that they have never seen before from Dmitri. The big man slowly gets up, but we can see that the impact of the blow has gotten to him as well when we see the replay that his legs have hit the wall as well. Dmitri slowly grabs Ronin and tosses him in the ring, then turns his attention towards Tomlin and delivers an Irish Whip into the cell wall before delivering a big time Clothesline.

Tex Martin: I have a feeling he has his sights set on Ronin!!!

Dmitri slowly slide sin the ring, gets up and goes to set Ronin up for a Powerbomb. But somehow Ronin has managed to surprise the big man and deliver a DDT as he breaks free from Dmitri's grip. Ronin rests on the canvas with his back on the canvas and his arm on top of Dmitri as the referee starts to use the three count on the vampire. But Dmitri manages to get his shoulder up on time to break the three count. He slowly starts to crawl towards the ropes when suddenly we see Chase Tomlin come in the ring and grabs Dmitri and lifts him up to a Powerbomb position. He lifts Dmitri up and then slams him against the Turnbuckles and then a modified Flap Jack before going for the cover and gets the three count on Dmitri.

Duff Travers: Damn!!!

Stormy Canyon: The winners of this match!!! Ronin and Chase Tomlin!!!!

After the bell sounds, and Tomlin and Ronin are announced the winners, the lights inside the Target Center go out as the dark sounds of a violin fill the arena. Moments later the guitar riff of "Water" by Breaking Benjamin echoes throughout the arena as red strobe lights flash on and off around the ring area. A tall figure walks from behind the curtain and slowly makes his way down the ramp, stopping at the door of the cell structure. All four men inside the ring stare through the flashing lights as the figure grabs the door by the chainlinks and violently shakes the cage back and forth before pulling the door off it's hinges. He throws the door to the ground as it continues to be held by the thick chain and lock that was was wrapped around it earlier. The figure enters the structure and steps into the ring as the lights come back on to reveal the face of Rex Butler.

Tex: "Oh, my god, I can't believe it! It's "The Demonic One" Rex Butler! He's back in the AWA!"

Duff: "What the hell is he doing here? I thought he wanted nothing to do with this place anymore..."

Dmitri and Shipman grab Chase Tomlin and hold him in in the corner of the cage as Rex stares at Ronin, whose eyes are like saucers. Ronin runs toward Rex with a clothesline, but Rex ducks it and connects with a kick to the midsection. Butler quickly lifts Ronin up in a power bomb position and hits the "Extreme Measure" in the center of the ring. Butler gets back to his feet and calls for Shipman to toss in the ringsteps. Shipman gets a demented smile on his lips as he gets up and tosses the steel steps into the ring, landing with a tremendous crash that echoes through the arena...

Tex: "We need some help out here... get some officials down here now!"

Rex flips the stairs right-side up and grabs Ronin by the hair, bringing him up to his feet. Rex then hoists Ronin onto his shoulders and walks to within inches of the stairs. Without warming, Rex hits the "Wicked Sensation", forcing Ronin's torso to land sickeningly on the steel steps. The crowd roars in a chorus of boos as Rex stands up and laughs before bending down and saying something to Ronin that can't be picked up by the microphones. Rex straightens himself as Dmitri and Shipman push Tomlin into the cage before getting to their feet and joining Rex in the center of the ring...

Tex: "Are The Inmates back together for good? Good lord! What the hell else could take place here tonight?"

The scenes changes to the backstage area as the three Inmates stand in the center of the ring...

Winners: Ronin & Chase Tomlin

The scene opens up in Metamania's dressing room, his wife holding on to the International title as she watches her man doing some push-ups, his mind thinking about the match ahead. After ending doing his fifteenth push-up, he gets back on his feet and smiles as his wife. She hands over the title back to Metamania, who puts it over his shoulder. She then pulls him close and kisses him on the mouth before they are standing with each other, side by side, Freya's arm around her man's waist, beaming at him with pride. Metamania nods to the camera, ready to speak.

Metamania: Fang, I've had enough of you this week. This is now the time for you to either put up or shut up for good! Now, I know that this could be my last fight for the International championship - but I will win. I know that you will bring everything to the table and will try to take me down - but I will win. At least I will do my best to. If I lose, I gave it everything I got and I'm the man that I always will be. You can't help but give me respect on that, Fang. Because I'm not a quitter in this business. I'm a fighter. You and I are fighters, you and I have claimed to have the best women on our side. We'd like to think that we are the best at everything, that we have it all. But we'll never know, will we? This battle between you and I will continue until one of us does die or leave the federation for good. I won't be falling to either fate, Fang. Goth screwed me over a bunch of times and thinks that he is the biggest man of them all around here. I'm here to tell you that he's not - your brother is the biggest idiot in the federation today. After I kick your ass, all over the parking lot in Minneapolis, MN, and walk away with the International championship, it will be you that will once again fear and respect me for who I've always been. The time for you and your brother to be best friends and brothers are over - after this week, there is no going back. I will take over the Asylum Wrestling Alliance and I will bring it back to where it needs to be. Not as a savior, Fang, but as a man who wants to see change for the better. Not like our President today, mind you - just someone that wants to bring justice to those who deserve it truly, yourself included. I hope you're prepared for this fight. If I go down, I will come back up. If you shatter me through a glass window, I will get up. I will not back down, Fang. I will not quit. This is my time and this is your last match with me in ANY championship bout, Fang. After this, after I have beaten you up to the point of complete exhaustion, this will prove, once and for all, that I am THE better International champion than you will ever be! But even if I lose, don't worry - I will ALWAYS come back and get what's rightfully mine! So I'll be seeing you at the parking lot shortly, "Beast Who Will Be King."! Freya kisses her man again hard before she breaks off the kiss and then leads him out of the dressing room, Metamania closing the door shut behind him. The scene fades into a shot of the crowd going wild.

Goth can be seen talking to someone on the phone as he is grinning.

Goth: Yeah when you do your thing come to my office.

Goth closes his door from his office as we go back to the ring

Fang vs. Metamania

We are taken outside of the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, into the parking lot, where the next match, a Parking Lot Brawl, will be taking place between Fang and Metamania for the International Title. We see Referee Simon Jones standing in Parking Section A which is next to the Valet Parking area. INDESTRUCTIBLE by Disturbed hits the speakers and we see Metamania and Freya walk over to where Referee Jones is waiting. He asks Metamania and Freya to stand off to his left as they await the arrival of Jonathan FANG Porter. STORMY CANYON: Here is the International Champion, from New York City, standing 5 feet 6 inches, and weighing 176 pounds, it is “THE ONE AND ONLY” METAMANIA!!!

TEX: This is going to be a very interesting match, a Parking Lot Brawl, and I believe Metamania has the upper hand in this match.

DUFF: Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched Tex! Fang is way better in Hardcore Rules matches than Metamania.

RUN THIS TOWN by Rhianna, Jay-Z and Kanye West hit the speakers and we see Jonathan Porter make his way to where Referee Jones, Metamania, and Freya are standing in the parking lot. He approaches Simon Jones who asks him to wait on his right side until all match information has been given to him and Metamania.

STORMY CANYON: Here is the challenger for the International Championship, from Long Pond, Pennsylvania, standing 6 feet even, and weighing 220 pounds, it is JONATHAN “FANG” PORTER!!!

TEX: Well Duff I don’t see too much of a situation against Metamania here. There is only a 6 inch height difference and 50 pounds of weight that you could call an advantage for Fang. However, in this type of match, running around in a parking lot, and using weapons, the smaller and lighter wrestler always has the advantage.

DUFF: You certainly to have a warped sense of reality Tex.

Referee Simon Jones takes a mic and announces the stipulations of this Parking Lot Brawl match.

REFEREE SIMON JONES: The stipulations of this Parking Lot Brawl are simple. The wrestlers are allowed to wrestle, fight, brawl, or whatever you wish to call it, here in Parking Section A. They are not allowed to go into the other sections of the parking lot due to the sheer size of the parking area. Should the wrestlers spill into an adjacent parking area they will be directed to return to Parking Section A where they need to keep the match going. The winner of the match will be declared the Asylum Wrestling Alliance International Champion. The ways a wrestler can win this match include pinfall, submission, or a complete knockout where the opponent cannot respond to a ten count. Anything the wrestlers can find to use as a weapon may be used as a weapon. Fang…Metamania…do you both fully understand the stipulations of this match?

Fang and Metamania indicate they fully understand the stipulations of the match. Metamania unstraps his International Title Belt and hands it to Referee Jones who hands it to an Asylum Wrestling Alliance attendant to hold on to until the match is over. Simon Jones then looks over at the Timekeeper and asks him to ring the bell to start the match. The bell rings and this match is officially underway.

TEX: Well this is where the rubber meets the road Duff. It is a do or die situation for Metamania and I assure you he will get the job done tonight.

DUFF: Don’t get your panties in a bunch Tex. Let the match progress and call it as you honestly see it without putting your twist on the match.

As soon as the bell rings to start the match Metamania turns and takes off running through Parking Area A. He runs between a line of cars then turns right and dives into a Parking Attendant shack. Metamania took off so quickly that Fang didn’t see exactly where he went but he knows the general direction. Porter heads off in the direction Metamania went, all the while being cautious as he runs through the line of cars, to prevent being attacked while his attention is diverted. While Jonathan is winding his way through the line of cars, and headed toward the Parking Attendant shack, Metamania looks around the shack to see what might be available as a weapon. He notices a direction sign sitting in the corner of the shack, and the sign is about four feet tall and has a metal sign on the top of it with an arrow pointing the direction of traffic flow. He removes the sign from the base and now he has in his hands the pole with the arrow sign on top of it. Metamania peeks out the door of the shack and he sees Fang coming his way so he ducks behind the door in the shack and waits for Porter to go by. Fang runs by the shack and then it dawns on him that Metamania may be in the shack so he stops to turn around. However before he can turn around Metamania runs out of the shack, holding the direction sign, and he whips the sign toward Porter hitting him hard on his upper back. This causes Fang to fall forward and onto the hood of a car parked in the parking lot. Metamania drops the sign and takes off in another direction to plan another surprise attack on Fang.

TEX: I told you that Metamania was going to get the upper hand on Fang.

DUFF: It is only about a minute into the match Tex. We have to wait and see how this match develops.

Fang turns around in time to see which direction Metamania took off in. He notices that Metamania has taken off down a row of cars in Parking Area A and he decides to go around the opposite way since he believes Metamania is going to be looking for him in the same direction he went. As Porter is sneaking around the opposite direction from the way Metamania went, we can see Metamania waiting for him and as predicted, watching for Fang to come the same way he did. Jonathan passes a kiosk where there is a fire extinguisher box. He breaks open the box and pulls out the fire extinguisher to use as a weapon against Metamania. Fang finally makes his way to the other side of the cars from where Metamania is waiting for him. He peeks around the cars and notices that Metamania has his back to him as he is watching for him to approach from the other direction. Fang sneaks up on Metamania and pulls the pin on the fire extinguisher and lets loose with a spray of foam. This surprises Metamania who turns around and ends up getting some of the foam in his face temporarily blinding him. He is desperately trying to remove the foam from his face when Fang lunges at him and drives the butt of the fire extinguisher into the gut of Metamania knocking the wind out of him. Porter then drops the fire extinguisher to the ground and walks over and picks Metamania up and body slams him on the hood of a car causing a huge dent in the car. The camera quickly turns to a fan in the Target Center who is screaming that it is his car they are damaging. We flip back to the parking lot where Metamania backs up against the windshield of the car as Fang picks the fire extinguisher up and tosses it at Metamania. Metamania sees the fire extinguisher coming at him so he dives off the hood of the car and the fire extinguisher smashes into the windshield busting it out. The scene again shifts to the fan in the arena who passes out when he sees his car windshield busted out from the fire extinguisher. Paramedics rush over to attend to the passed out fan as our attention returns to the parking lot. This time it is Jonathan Porter who takes off running down a row of cars to get into position to sneak attack Metamania.

DUFF: I guess your prediction that the smaller and lighter guy was going to excel in this match were just blown to bits eh?

TEX: Not really. You said it is early in the match and we have to wait and see how the match progresses before we make a judgment.

DUFF: Tex, you disgust me!

We watch as Fang takes up residence next to a car. He reaches up and grabs the door handle and he is surprised when he finds the door is not locked and he opens the door a little bit and hides behind it. He watches as Metamania comes running down the row of cars and when he is close Fang shoves the car door open and the car door slams into Metamania knocking him back and to the ground. This irritates Metamania as he gets up and drop kicks the car door closed on Fang causing Porter to be smashed between the car door and the frame of the car. The door flops open and Fang slumps to the pavement. Metamania turns Fang over and goes for the pin as Referee Simon Jones gets into position for the count. ONE…TWO… and Porter manages to kick out of the pinning combination. Metamania then gets up, grabs Porter, and drives his head hard into the door panel of the car, causing a huge dent. Again the camera shot returns to the arena as another fan is freaking out because their car was just damaged when the head of Fang was driven into his car door. Fang falls backward to the pavement as Metamania again goes for the pin. Again Referee Jones goes for the count. ONE…TWO… and this time Fang gets a shoulder up to break the count.

TEX: I have to give credit to Metamania for going for a cover every opportunity he can get. That is how you win a match like this.

DUFF: I have to agree with you this time. In this type of brutal match the key isn’t so much beating your opponent with weapons, but to wear them down enough to get the quick pinfall.

The two wrestlers get to their feet and they start punching and kicking each other. They are trading punches as Referee Simon Jones stays in close to see if either of them will offer to submit from the damage being inflicted. Fang and Metamania continue trading punches and kicks until Fang drives a shoulder into the midsection of Metamania and drives him back hard into the bumper of a nearby car. This drops Metamania to his knees as Porter takes off again. This time Jonathan Porter dives over a barricade and into the Valet Parking area. Since the wrestlers are supposed to stay within Parking Area A of the Target Center, Referee Jones runs over and tries to get Fang to get out of the Valet Parking and back into Parking Area A. Porter ignores him as he runs into the Valet Parking Attendant Booth and looks around for a weapon. Fang finds two items he can use as a weapon, one is a tire iron and the other is a crowbar. He picks up both items and steps out of the Valet Parking Attendant Booth just as Metamania shows up. Seeing that Fang has two weapons heading his way Metamania backs up against a really nice Mercedes with a convertible top.

TEX: I hate to say this but this doesn’t look good for Metamania right now.

DUFF: I know.

Metamania is backed up against the Mercedes as Porter approaches swinging both weapons. As he gets close Metamania lashes out with a Karate kick that knocks the tire iron out of the hand of Fang and it drops to the pavement. Jonathan swings the crowbar at Metamania but Metamania dives out of the way and onto the ground to grab the tire iron. Fang misses hitting Metamania with the swing of the crowbar but in the process he rips a hell of a hole into the convertible top of the Mercedes. The scene switches to the box seats in the Target Arena as a rich woman screams and faints as she watches her Mercedes being destroyed. Once again Referee Jones is trying to get both Metamania and Fang out of the Valet Parking and back into Parking Area A but he is having very little luck in doing so as the two are attacking each other and paying very little attention to him. Fang turns around to see Metamania swinging the tire iron at him and he ducks the blow and the tire iron hits the window of the Mercedes shattering it. Finally Referee Jones steps between Fang and Metamania and demands that they both return to Parking Area A or both of them will be Disqualified and Metamania will remain the International Champion. Metamania and Fang drops their respective weapons and walk with Referee Jones back to Parking Area A.

TEX: It sure took a long time for Referee Jones to maneuver Fang and Metamania back to Parking Area A.

DUFF: I know. It is bad enough that cars got damaged in Parking Area A but now a very expensive Mercedes just got damaged in the Valet Parking area.

TEX: It will be okay though. Goth purchased insurance for this particular event so that if any cars got damaged the owners would either get a full repair or replacement on their vehicles.

Referee Jones has maneuvered Metamania and Fang back to Parking Area A and he has given them the signal to continue the match. Immediately the two wrestlers go after each other with punches and kicks and they are trading punches and kicks in record number. Fang grabs Metamania in a headlock and he runs toward a car to ram Metamania’s head into the side of the car. At the very last moment Metamania manages to slip out of the headlock and shove Fang into the car instead. Porter manages to block most of the blow and he turns around and sees Metamania coming at him. He puts his foot up and Metamania runs face first into the boot of Fang. Metamania takes a step back and Fang sees an apparent opening. Porter tries to put Metamania into a DDT position but Metamania gets out of the attempt and again shoves Fang into the car. Metamania then picks Fang up and body slams him hard into the pavement. He then drops a few elbows to the throat of Fang. Metamania then leaps up on the roof of the car and waits for Fang to get to his feet. Porter slowly gets to his feet and he is looking around to see where Metamania is as he doesn’t realize yet that Metamania is on top of the car. Jonathan turns around and looks up and realizes that Metamania is on top of the car. Before he can react Metamania leaps off the car to attempt a drop kick to Porter. Fang has enough senses about him to see the flying drop kick coming so he side steps the maneuver and in the process he grabs the legs of Metamania causing him to land on the pavement he lands hard on his back, knocking the wind out of him. Fang then drops backwards and that causes Metamania to fall on top of the car with his head right through the window of the car. Fang grabs Metamania and pulls him out of hte window and rolls him on his back and goes for the cover as the referee starts to use the three count.

TEX: Damn! Metamania had this match the entire time until that one little mistake cost him the match.

DUFF: You really enjoy making things up don’t you Tex? Metamania didn’t have full control of the match the entire time! This match went back and forth and was anybody’s match until that last maneuver by Metamania didn’t work!

STORMY CANYON: Here is the winner of this match, and the new Asylum Wrestling Alliance International Champion, JONATHAN “FANG” PORTERRRRR!!!!!

Referee Jones raises the hand of Fang in victory and then he hands the International Title to Porter who turns and walks out of the parking lot to return to the Target Center and his dressing room. Metamania is still unconscious as Freya comes up to look after him to see if he's alright. After a short time Metamania manages to get to his feet as he manages to get back to the Target Center with Freya.

Winner: Fang

Metamania is slowly making his way back towards the arena, looking extremely exhausted after a long and gruelling tussle with Fang which resulted in the International Title being removed from his waist. Still regaining his breath to full capacity, he hears a sound.. the clanging of metal.. about a few cars away. He thinks nothing of it at first, until the clash of metal and concrete again pierces the atmosphere. This times Meta takes an extensive look around, thinking somebody might be trying to fuck with him. Right he is. As he leans over to investigate behind one car, Canis springs into action from behind and starts hammering down on Meta's already beaten and bruised body. He is wearing his traditional Opus Dei servants robes, hood down and with a crazed glint in his eye. This is the Canis we first saw arrive in the AWA for sure. Meta regains his stance and the two start throwing fits and feet, laying into each other like two arch nemesis' fighting for their lives, each blow landed having the desired effect on their opponent. Standing closer to the arena's backdoor entrance watching the action eagerly is Raul Mendoza, urging on his newly re-acquired apprentice

Duff: Why the hell has he gone back to that son of a bitch?! Don't put us through this shit again!

Tex: Looks like it's too late to take your advice, Duff...

Referee's have finally caught onto the melee in the parking lot and race past Mendoza to break the two men up. It even takes arena security to help out as both Meta and Canis refuse to restrain themselves. Eventually, the two men are dragged far enough apart and are both force-led to opposite entrances to the arena. Mendoza, meanwhile, has snuck off

Marissa Swanson vs. Hank Henry III

Tex: We’ve been having a lot of fights that are realistically sequels tonight, Duff!

Duff: Once again, Marissa Swanson is back to defend her title, this time against a rival she’s been fighting for awhile now, one Hank Henry III. Will he be the one to overthrow her from the top?

Stormy: Ladies and gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the challenger! From Ellis, New York, weighing at 248 lbs…..HANK HENRY III!!!!!

Hank Henry comes out with his limping manager Chaplin Graves, they discuss the pro and cons of the upcoming match, if the mood suits them one of them play to the crowd. Sometimes he wears a cowboy hat.

Stormy: Introducing his opponent, the champion! From Franklin, TN, weighing at 121 lbs, she is the current AWA Universal champion….MARISSA SWANSON!!!!!!!!!!

The sound of cameras flashing can be heard as the AWA jumbotron lights up to show Marissa standing on a red carpet. The scene zooms out a bit to show that she's surrounded by cameramen. A reporter ducks in through the cameramen and reach Marissa to ask her a question.

Reporter: Are you sure that you're ready for the big time?

Marissa continues to stand there and look very pretty.

Reporter: Marissa? What's your answer?

Marissa: I'll be fine. I may be young, but I'm smart and I know what I want. Daddy has helped me to get this far. Trust me when I say that I'll be well taken care of.

Reporter: Well you heard it here folks! Marissa Swanson heads your way and she says that she'll be okay!

The scene on the jumbotron fades as the beginning of "Party In The USA" by Miley Cyrus begins to play. Shots of Marissa growing up on the jumbotron fade in and out until Marissa Swanson appears from out of the backstage area. She stands on the stage for a few seconds soaking in her surroundings before making her move down the wrestler ramp towards the ring. Any fans that are nice to wave at her or blow a kiss to her catches her attention and she gives them one back. As she gets to the ring, she climbs up the steel steps and up to the top rope. Meanwhile on the jumbotron, some shots of Marissa having fun at the beach play. All the men hoot and holler as Marissa now does a picture-perfect backflip off the top rope. Marissa then puts her arms up into the air before pulling them back down. She then heads to her corner to await the beginning of the match.

Tex: Marissa is handing off the gold to the referee, but I don’t think Hank is in the mood to wait!

Duff: At least he’s honest when he said that he’ll do anything to win and this is no exception!

The referee managed to get out of the way in time as Hank Henry III clobbered Marissa from behind, as she flips over the ropes and hits the concrete floor, laying by the stairs. She manages to get up quickly as Hank jumps out of the ring and lands on his feet, then rushes after her. It’s a mistake that Marissa capitalizes on as she puts him quick with a toehold, making him lose his balance, but he catches himself and averts his face being slammed into the side of the steps. Marissa quickly climbs on the apron side and then leaps off with a forward flip, hoping for a hurricane. But Hank catches her in mid-air, her back being heavily slammed into the top of the steel steps with a powerbomb. She cries out in pain as she rolls off the steps, arching her back in pain as Hank picks her up and throws her back to the ring. He hooks the leg, but Marissa gets the shoulder at the count of two. Standing up, he kicks her down a bit, hitting her in the stomach a few times, before walking over to het feet and getting her positioned for a half boston crab. However, Marissa surprises the world as she manages to use her feet to flip Hank, making him crash to the floor. She does a kip up, although catches her breath quickly before she rushes to the middle rope nearby, jumps on it, and lands with a vicious Lionsault! She hooks the leg, but Hank overpowers her at the count of two. Back on het feet, she jumps on the lower top rope and waits for Hank to regain his feet. As he does, he turns around and gets staggered back a few feet because of her missile dropkick. Then she rushes and goes for a spinning back kick into his stomach. But he catches the kick and sweeps her other leg beneath her, forcing her to lose balance completely and fall to the mat. He goes for an elbow drop, but Marissa rolls away in time, Hank’s elbow hitting the mat instead. She once again reaches for the top rope and Hank is quick to pursue her, quickly grabbing her and throwing her off the top rope, watching with a sadistic look on her face as she crashes to the mat He then goes for a half Boston crab once more and it connects, sending her into a frenzy as the pain increases. He tightens up the hold on her and makes sure that he’s giving it all he got. As the fans are cheering for Hank, Marissa Swanson grits her teeth and slowly crawls to the rope, albeit slowly. But Hank just takes her back to the middle of the ring and Marissa screams in agony. But she preservers and in a few minutes later, she is able to crawl over and then finally get a hand on the bottom rope. The crowd boo at her actions as the referee yells at Hank to let go, which he reluctantly does so.

Tex: Well, the fans are speaking highly. They don’t like what they are seeing at all!

Duff: I guess to them, Tex, anything is better than Marissa, but I think she’s cute!

Tex: Duff, you’d think that any cute woman is cute.

Duff: Damn straight partner!

Hank looks at the ref and kinda stalks him as he backs off, already in fear. Then he turns back to Marissa and begins to pull her away from the ropes, but Marissa somehow kicks him back a bit and he rolls backwards, completely taken by surprise. He then walks towards her and throws a wild haymaker, only for her to step aside smoothly and kicks him in the temple. Hank doubles over in pain as she rushes to the ropes, then goes for a sunset flip! She then hooks the leg for the pin, but Hank Henry barely gets the shoulder up at the count of two. Marissa slams the mat in frustration as the crowd cheer at Hank’s decision. She tells the crowd to shut up as they change their tune to booing. She picks up Hank Henry and places him at the lower-left rope. She manages to connect with three slaps to the chest, then gets Hank into a clutch and connects with a few knee strikes. That makes Hank mad as he reverses the position and throws her into the turnbuckle, quickly assaulting the woman with vicious strikes with his fists all over her body. That sends Marissa in a daze, which allows Hank to have her sit on the top rope, then he climbs up, getting her into a suplex and the two leap from the air, both crashing down on the mat. Marissa is breathing heavily as Hank quickly goes for a pin, hooking the leg, but Marissa just got her shoulder up before the ref could get the three-count. He takes out a fork from his tights and begins to stab Marissa with it on her neck, she immediately feel the pain and tries to scramble away, Hank literally lunging at her with it and fails at the last second as she rolls out of the ring. He slides out of the ring and lands on his feet. He’s about to stab her again, the fork raised high, when the referee suddenly takes it away from it. The referee turns around and throws the fork over to Chaplin, who catches it in mid-air, not happy with the ref’s decision. But the ref didn’t see what Marissa did next and that was a low-blow directly into Hank’s jewels! Hank doubles over once again, feeling the pain rising up as she goes for a missile dropkick, taking the big man down on one knee. Then she follows it up with a quick DDT, laying him out. It takes her a few minutes, but she picks him up and tosses him back to the ring and then follows after. She goes for another pin, but he gets the shoulder up at the count of two! Marissa is yelling at the referee, telling him to count faster, but the referee refuses to. The two continue to argue, Marissa’s back turned onto Hank. A big mistake for her, as he recovers from the blow and then hits her with his finisher – THE PROLETARIAT LARIAT! He ends the move with a bridge pin and just when the referee was about to slap his hand onto the mat for the third time, she kicks his head with both feet. The two quickly stand up and Marissa is quick on her feet, getting a Frankensteiner in and then she holds down his legs, Hank struggling furiously to get out! 1…..2…..3!!!!!!! The entire arena erupts into boos as she quickly scrambles out of the ring and starts walking up the ramp, laughing and smiling that all-knowing smile as Hank is livid with rage.

Stormy: Here is your winner and STILL the AWA Universal champion….MARISSA SWANSON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tex: None of the fans are quite happy with this result, Duff!

Duff: No kidding! If Hank Henry III couldn’t do it, then who will? She’s been on a streak with the title for awhile!

The referee gives the belt back to her and then raises her hand as she points at him and laughs. She then tosses a strand of her hair and smirks at him as the crowd boos down on Marissa. Hank Henry grips the top rope tight and roars with rage as Chaplin joins him in the ring, shaking his head at her as the scene finally fades to black….

Winner: Marissa Swanson

We cut to the back to find the closed office door of the Asylum's head lunatic, Goth. Scribbled on a piece of paper is a note pinned to the door which reads "PRIVATE MEETING; FUCK OFF" in big, bold letters. A few different muffled voices can be heard deliberating and discussing certain topics, the occasional dose of laughter, but you can't make out what exactly is being said

Tex: Why are we looking at the office door of our "beloved" owner??

Duff: A camera crew were asked to be on standby outside his office around this time, apparently... maybe we're going to find out who the new General Manager will be?!

After a few more moments of waiting, the handle of the door clicks down and waits for a moment to be opened, finally revealing the shady figure of Raul Mendoza, who is saying his courteous goodbye's to the members of the meeting committee. After shutting the door, he takes in a deep, satisfied breath.. straightens his dog collar.. and marches triumphantly down the corridor

Duff and Tex together: You... have... got to be kidding me!
