Sound of Madness begins to blare over the PA system. Erik Black walks out with a grin across his face. He darts toward the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He grabs the mic that is given to him. The crowd boos.
Black: Yea. Yea.. Boo me all you want. Boo your little hearts out.. It will not change the fact that later tonight..In the very ring..I become your first Grand Slam Champion. So boo all you want, people.. Tonight I make history. Tonight..In this very ring..I face Falimetahos Moordune.. The fat man of the AWA..

Erik’s music hits and he exits the ring
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is contested under triple threat rules!!!
The fans are cheering for the opening contest as we are having all three wrestlers currently in the ring.
Stormy Canyon: And in the ring we have all three contestants!! The debutants of Toxic Angel and the Devil's Advocate Tommy Gunn!! And the final wrestler is our very own Doug Crashin!!
Tex Martin: A good chance for Doug to get some momentum back as he faces some new faces to this federation!!
The bell rings as the three wrestlers get it on, Crashin looks on as Toxic starts to execute some heavy kicks to the side of Tommy Gunn's midsection. She delivers a spinning neck breaker to the other newcomer and goes for the cover, but Crashin pulls her off of her opponent. Hw grabs both legs and turns her over as he goes for a Catapult. He executes the move and this causes Toxic to be thrown into the turnbuckles and she lands on them and turns around as Crashin has not noticed her
Duff Travers: Some good agility besides having some great looks!!!
Tex Martin: You never seem to amaze me Duff
Duff Travers: What did I do now??
Crashin is badmouthing the fans as he slowly turns around, he walks straight into a missile dropkick from the newcomer that sends him to the outside and hits his head on the concrete floor. We can hear the fans get to enjoy the match as Toxic turns around and sees Tommy Gunn charge into her and she ducks a clothesline and then executes a modified DDT as she managed to get hold of the arm and spins around the back of Gunn before planting him head first into the squared circle
Tex Martin: Damn!! That was a great counter of the female in this match!!!
Toxic goes for the cover and the referee goes down and counts to three as he awards the win to the newcomer
Stormy Canyon: The winner of this match!! Toxic Angel!!
Toxic Angel stares at her fallen opponent as we see Doug Crashin shake off the cobwebs and not knowing what has happened as he sees Toxic move to the back.
We cut backstage where Page Harris is holding a short interview with Bulldog Bill Barnhart before his match with Starseed.
PAGE HARRIS: Bill, how do you feel having to face Starseed tonight for the Number One Contendership for the World Title?
BULLDOG BILL: I feel like Goth and Crazy J just gave me another Bye week Page. I mean, come on, Mack Blackheart last week then Starseed this week? Way too easy!
PAGE HARRIS: You seem a bit over-confident Bill, you don't think that could get you into trouble with Starseed?
BULLDOG BILL: There is no such thing as having too much confidence when you are a top Superstar such as me. This match means more to me than just obtaining the Number One Contendership for the World Title, Page, this means getting additional revenge upon Starseed for letting our Stable down and us having to fire him.
PAGE HARRIS: But you already obtained revenge when you and Erik Black defeated him twice in Tag Team matches with one of them resulting in you two obtaining the Tag Team Title Belts. Isn't that enough revenge Bill?
BULLDOG BILL: There is no such thing as having too much revenge when you are dealing with low life scum such as Starseed. He will be punished again and he will just have to deal with that fact of life.
PAGE HARRIS: Well, there you have it! Bill is very confident going into this match and he is also out for additional revenge and punishment against Starseed. Back to you Tex and Duff!
Stormy: This match is for one fall, and is a #1 contender's match!
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speakers. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris the 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. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains. Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink 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. He 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 then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.
Tex: Bulldog's ready for this match. He and Starseed have a heated rivalry.
Duff: Rivalry? Please! Starseed isn't in Barnhart's league! "Bulldog" said it himself!
Tex: Well he also said he'd be greeted here in Los Angeles a hero, but listen to those boos.
Our Lady Peace's "Starseed" acoustic intro begins to play, the lights dim, and a single red Maple Leaf spotlights on the entryway, the crowd screaming loudly. The heavy drum beat begins, and as the Lead singer screams, 4 pyros crash at the top of the ramp, and out walks the Canadian Phenom...The *Starseed*! He raises his arms in the air, the crowd cheering loudly. He proceeds down the ramp, wearing his sleeveless brown leather trenchcoat, with a Canadian Flag on the back. He hops on the apron and walks over to the turnbuckle, climbing up and raising his arms in the air, looking out over the capacity crowd.'Seed comes down from the turnbuckle and takes off his coat, handing it to the ref. He Stretches on the ropes, and looks down, in quiet contemplation, focusing for his match...
Stormy: Introducing in the black corner...6' 240 pounds, from Oakland, California..."Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!
Bill raises his arms in the air and points towards Starseed, then makes a slice motion across his neck, as the crowd boos loudly.
Stormy: And in the white corner, at 6', 230 pounds, from Calgary...Alberta, Canada! Phil..."The Starseed" Einar!
Starseed raises a single arm up and crowd cheers loudly. He then nods at Bill with a smirk on his face and lowers his arm out in front of him motioning to Barnhart to "bring it".
Tex: The fans have their clear favorite here!
Duff: These ignorant Los Angeles fans don't know true talent!
The bell rings and both men move forward then start to circle each other. Starseed dives forwards to try and catch Bill's leg, but he swerves away and Starseed quickly spins and stands looking over to Barnhart. Both men start to circle again and slowly approach each other...then enter a lock-up, neither of them budging, until Bill's power advantage begins taking root and pushing Einar back a few feet, Barnhart roars and pushes Starseed down on his ass. Einar is quick to get up and shakes his arms a bit a look of focus on his face after being powered down. Both men move in for another lock up, pushing against each other but this time Bill pushes forward quicker, sending Starseed to the mat again. Bill flexes a bicep at Starseed as if to show he's got more power than the Canadian can put out.
Tex: Barnhart's got him beat in the power department.
Duff: More than that, Tex, power, skill, and know-how!
Einar rubs his mouth as if in thought and then nods slowly and starts to move in for another lock-up...Barnhart is more than happy to oblige and they lock up again, pushing against each other, however when barnhart attempts to power out Einar, the Canadian ducks down hooks Bill's arm and arm drags him to the mat! Bill is quick to get up and charge at Starseed, but Starseed hits him with another takedown! Bill then stands and charges again, but Starseed leap frogs over, Bill continues to the ropes bounces off and comes back to get a high elevation dropkick to the mouth, sending him to the mat...Bill rolls outside to the floor to take a moment.
Tex: Starseed's flurry's got Bill worries.
Duff: You're wrong Tex, Barnhart's taking his time...he can beat this...CANADIAN...whenever he wants.
Starseed springboards from the ring and outside with a plancha, crashing down on Barnhart! Both men are slow to get up, but Starseed is up to his feet first, grabs Bill by the head and rolls him into the ring. Bill lays on his back as Starseed stands on the apron from the outside and jumps over the ropes and lands with a legdrop across the neck of Barnhart. Starseed goes for the pin, hooks the leg...kick out at two. Starseed helps Barnhart up and Irish whips him towards the corner, Barnhart reverses and Einar crashes into the turnbuckles, bounces off and walks forwards only to get floored by Barnhart's vicious clothesline!
Duff: See that? Starseed got flattened!
Bulldog stands and walks over to Starseed who is trying to roll over and shake it off, but a vicious stomp to the back of his head ends that quickly. Barnhart helps Starseed to his feet and then hooks in and hits a suplex. Barnhart then picks Starseed up and whips him to the corner and follows up with a shoulder to the mid-section...a second, a third. Barnhart grabs Starseed's arm and goes for an irish whip to the other corner, but instead holds on, and brings him back for a knee to the gut, which bends Starseed over. Barnhart lifts Starseed up and powerbombs him hard to the mat, holds unto the bomb, and lifts him up again for a second powerbomb, this time into a sit-down position. Bill holds it in for the count.
Crowd: ONE!.......TWO!.......THREOH!
Somehow Starseed throws an arm up after the furious assault, and Bill can't believe it. He tosses Starseed's legs aside and stands and grabs his beard looking at the slowly turning form of the Canadian Phenom. Barnhart then starts to kick at Starseed's back, sending him towards the ropes. Einar falls off the apron and to the floor, as Bill steps between the ropes and hops down to the floor himself. The ref warns Barnhart to take it in the ring, but Bill ignores him and helps Starseed up, then grabs Einar by the back of the head and slams it into the steel steps!
Tex: Vicious attack from Barnhart!
Duff: Bill's showing Starseed what it's like to fight in the big leagues!
Barnhart laughs and walks over to Starseed again and helps him up, and then viciously whips him into the steps on the other side, sending them flying with a loud crash! The fans at ringside yell and curse at him as he just looks back at them and laughs, pointing to Starseed. Barnhart rolls into the ring to break he ref's count at 8, then rolls back in and moves to his opponent. The Canadian is sprawled on the floor, and then gets pulled up by Barnhart, who displays his face to the camera, a streak of blood is flowing down the face of Einar as Bill yells to him.
Bulldog: IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? PUNK?
Barnhart laughs as Starseed seems out of it. Barnhart grabs his head and goes to slam it into the apron, but Starseed suddenly blocks! Barnhart tries again, but Starseed holds firm with his hands, then sends and elbow to Bulldog's throat, grabs the back of his head with both hands and slams it into the apron! Bulldog stumbles back and Starseed quickly moves over and locks his arms around Bulldog's waist and rams his back into the guardrail! Starseed then grabs Barnhart's arm and viciously irish whips him into the far guardrail! Starseed rolls into the ring, and then rolls out next to Bulldog walks over and delivers a vicious snap kick to his chest!
Tex: Starseed's fired up! Looks like a comeback from the Canadian Phenom!
Starseed then grabs Bulldog's wrist, pulls him in, and places it between Bill's legs then reaches around and holds the wristclutch, he then hooks under Barnhart's shoulder and lifts him into a wristclutch exploder suplex to the floor! Starseed is slow to stand as he breaks the ref's count at the last moment, then rolls back outside to pick Barnhart up. He rolls Bulldog in and climbs the apron. He stands looking at Barnhart who's on his back, and Starseed suddenly launches himself up, and lands his feet on the top rope, only to springboard from there into the "Northern Lights" Shooting Star Press! He crashes down on Barnhart and just lays there for the pin.
Crowd: ONE!......TWO!........OH!
Barnhart kicks out at the half mark, only to have Starseed crawl up into mounted position and grab him by the hair and deliver a stiff forearm shot to the face...he rears back and delivers another...the third makes Bulldog bleed from the nose, as Starseed starts to speed up the shots, after the 10th or so the ref pulls him off, as Bulldog is now bleeding from the nose, as Starseed's face is a bloody mess, now dripping with Muta Scale level blood. He wipes the blood off his face and looks at his hand with a smile, as Bulldog is slowly turning over and Starseed suddenly runs up and snap kicks him in the back! The loud shot resounds throughout the arena, Starseed sends another snapkick, and another, and then a fourth, and roars to the crowd!
Crowd: Let's go Star-seed! Let's go Star-seed!
Tex: The crowd is cheering on their hero!
Duff: These people have no taste!
Einar picks Bulldog up and sends him to the corner, and follows up with a flying splash. He then lifts Barnhart up to sit on the top rope and starts to climb up. He stands on the top rope and locks in a front facelock to Bulldog going for what seems to be a superplex, and lifts him and starts to fallback, but grabs Bulldog's head into the "Canada Cutter"! Both men crash to the mat, and neither move, as the high risk maneuver takes it's toll.
Tex: WHAT A MANEUVER! THE CANADA CUTTER HIT IT'S MARK BUT IT TOOK IT'S TOLL ON BOTH MEN!
Crowd: ONE!................TWO!................THREE!
Duff: Neither of these men are moving, COME ON BULLDOG!
Crowd: FOUR!.................FIVE!..................SIX!
Tex: Starseed is stirring, he's trying to roll over on his stomach!
Crowd: SEVEN!............EIGHT!.........
Duff: Barnhart's not moving at all!
Tex: Starseed's at the ropes and pulling himself up slowly!
Crowd: NINE!........
The count is finally broken by Starseed who is standing at the ropes, but holding himself up by them...he then stumbles towards Barnhart and falls on top for the pin.
Crowd: ONE!................TWO!..............THREEOH!
Duff: YES!
Barnhart throws the shoulder up at the 9/10ths mark, as Einar rolls unto his back and slowly sits up, breathing heavy...his face with the proverbial crimson mask. He looks over to his opponent, and slowly stands up, wiping the blood off his face, and unto his chest, but it's also covered. Starseed helps Barnhart up, and Irish whips him to the corner. Starseed runs forwards but Barnhart moves aside, and Starseed crashes chest first into the corner and stumbles back, only for barnhart to grab his by the throat and lift him into a chokeslam! Barnhart seems to have his second wind as he rubs under his nose and notices how badly he's bleeding and looks over at Starseed in anger and starts to choke him out. The ref stops Bulldog from going past the 5 mark, and Bulldog pushes the ref away and picks Starseed up into a standing headscissors and attempts to lift him into a Piledriver...but Starseed blocks and won't allow the lift. Barnhart lets him go and clubs him in the back repeatedly, Bill takes a step back and punts Starseed in the head, sending him flying back and leaving a trail of blood in the air. Barnhart walks over and picks Starseed up, and leans him into the ropes, and hits him with a knife edge chop. He then grabs him and whips him, and as Starseed comes back, bulldog goes for a clothesline, but Einar ducks, bounces off the far ropes and comes back for a Lariat of his own but Barnhart ducks and Einar inadvertently levels the referee!
Duff: Disqualification! DQ him, ref!
Tex: If the ref were conscious, he would, Duff! But that hit him like a freight train!
Starseed is besides himself as he grabs his head, looking at the downed referee...he turns and Barnhart kicks him in the mid-section and places him in a standing headscissors, and nails him with a piledriver! Barnhart looks at the ref...and then down at Starseed, and smiles...and slides himself out of the ring. He grabs the timekeeper's chair, and folds it and slides it into the ring. Barnhart walks over and helps Starseed up, and holds the chair in one hand and suddenly irish whips Starseed into the ropes, Starseed comes back ducks the chair shot, puts on the brakes, Bulldog turns and Starseed with the "Avro Arrow" kicks the chair in Barnhart's face! Both men collapse, as this was seemingly just a sudden burst of energy for the Canadian, and Barnhart is layed out from the hit. The crowd is cheering loudly and stomping their feet for the men to get up...but neither are moving. After almost a minute, Starseed stirs and crawls over towards Barnhart...pulling his bloody face and chest towards him, and drapes an arm over his body. The crowd counts...
Crowd: ONE!...............TWO!...........THREE!
But with no ref, it is worthless, no matter how much they cheer...a few more seconds go by and another ref runs down the ramp and slides into the ring,...the crowd counts again.
Crowd: ONE!..........TWO!.........OOOOOH!
Tex: When it counted, Barnhart kicked out!
Duff: OF course he did, he's got ring presence! He knows better!
The new ref goes to check on his predecessor, as Starseed slowly pulls himself up to his knees and pulls Barnhart with him. With the ref's back turned Barnhart hits a sudden low-blow which sends the crowd into a booing frenzy and makes Starseed hold his neither regions. Barnhart stands slowly and places Starseed in a standing headscissors...he tries to lift him up into a piledriver, but Starseed blocks again...Barnhart attempts again, but Starseed is too determined to hold on and tries to hammer at Bulldog's kidneys...Bulldog tries to lift him through the pain but the Canadian won't budge... Barnhart suddenly screams and jumps forwards holding Starseed and hitting...
Tex: CANADIAN DESTROYER?!!!!! "BULLDOG" BILL BARNHART JUST HIT A CANADIAN DESTROYER?!!!!
Duff: BEAUTIFUL! BILL JUST TOOK IT OUT OF STARSEED'S PLAYBOOK! WE GOT A NEW MOVE! THE OAKLAND DESTROYER!
Barnhart goes for the pin...
Crowd: ONE!.............TWO!...............THREE!
B.T.O's "Takin Care of Business" begins to blare, as Barnhart rolls off Starseed and lays there for a moment to catch himself from this hellacious contest. Eventually Barnhart makes it to the floor and walks towards the back wiping the blood from under his nose, which is possibly broken, as Starseed stirs slowly, the refs trying to bring him to consciousness. Eventually he sits up, blinking from the blood over his eyes, and wipes his face. He slowly stands and gets helped up by the referee to a crowd which cheers loudly, clapping and stomping for him. He limps to the ropes and steps between them and raises his arm to them, and slowly walks towards the back curtain...as he is halfway, the tron lights up, and Goth is smiling.
Goth: Starseed! HEY STARSEED! That was a nice match there, thanks for breaking your back to make my show entertaining...I do however have some pretty bad news for you. Since you decided to betray the Knights Templar...as punishment, I decided that by the power invested in me, BY ME...That I will immediately place you under an indefinite suspension! You cannot compete in the AWA until it is lifted, however you are still under EXCLUSIVE contract!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO! FUCK YOU GOTH!............FUCK YOU GOTH!
Starseed is shocked but too tired to work up anger...
Goth: I allready took the liberty to have your things thrown out of the locker room and taken to your precious limo...although I think you might want to call a cab tonight! HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!
Starseed starts to walk towards the backstage area in a hurry, and the camera follows, catching some of the backstage crew...Starseed finally makes it past the locker rooms and to the big doors, and opens them, and sees flames...the camera follows and gets a full shot of Starseed's gym bag and equipment lain about in front of the burning frame of the Canadian Limo, now, unrecognisable...Starseed has nothing but a look of disbelief, as the footage switches to the next segment...
we cut to ringside where the announcers continue on this roller coaster of a PPV
Duff: What a pay per view this has been already Tex
Tex: and with so much more to come here tonight, up next...
Suddenly the power goes out in the entire arena, the only light coming from cameras within the arena flashing like crazy, the announcers stunned as is the crowd
Duff: What the...
Suddenly the video screen powers up and we see a tiny white light in the center of it, slowly getting bigger and brighter until it fills the screen and flashes off into darkness once more, before Gothic, blood red lettering appears on the screen with a message for everyone
There is a legend...
The letters fade into the dark and we now realize that we are in a dark room, surrounded in blackness, a small light in the background gives us a little light to see the outline of chains hanging down from the ceiling
A story told of a man who was born from the asylum itself has seen it all in this business...
We can just about see the chains, thick and strong linked together leading up around an arm
A man who had been to the far corners of the world in pursuit of his wrestling immortality...
The camera pans back a bit more to see this tall, figure restrained by chains as he lets out a thunderous roar, giving off an eerie chill, practically making the people in the arenas hairs stand on end
This man has fought the best warriors around the world in the best promotions around the world, held gold in his hands and stood on top of the world as its king but then.. he disappeared never to be seen by the world again...
The man is engulfed in darkness for a moment and suddenly the light in background comes back on, bursting far brighter than before, he breaks the chains
in ... 43 days...
The camera is now at floor level and the chains all drop down to the floor one by one dropping in front of the camera, the camera is picked up by this mysterious figure, the camera moving up his body from his knees up to his torso, slowly but surely closer towards his face, stopping just at his mouth, loud breathing un-unnervingly fills the void, the blood red lettering appears on the screen once more
he returns
Another loud roar his heard as the man screams out from the top of his lungs with rage, he throws the camera to the floor.
H O M E!
The arena titantron goes static for a few moments and the lights slowly fade back on as the crowd is left in shock and confusion even the announcers are stunned silent
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is contested under the Last Man Standing rules!! And this contest is for the International Championship!! Currently coming downt he aisle, is the challenger!! He stands in at 6 ft and weighing in at 225 pounds!! Hailing from Down Town Los Angeles!!!! Erik Black!!!
The lights begin to flicker. Sounds of Madness hits on the PA. "Yea I get it you're an outcast etc." When the music gets heavy, huge golden pyro explodes from the stage. Out walks Erik Black. He has a cocky smirk across hs face. He stops and eye the ring. He then darts to the ring and, not losing a touch of speed, slides under the bottom turnbuckle. HE then runs to the furthest turnbuckle and jumps to the top. He then awaits his opponent
Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6'8 and weighing in at 487 pounds!! He is our curent AWA International Champion!! Falimetahos Moordune!!!
The arena lights dim down as the speakers shout out in echo "Only the Greatest Warriors go to Hell!" As it finishes it rolls into "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000, both sides of the entrance explode in red flame as the lights twist to a deep green hue, Falimetahos steps out onto the entrance way accompanied by Celeste Remere his agent and valet. The crowd giving their roar of boo's to the biggest AWA Monster, Falimetahos gives a up yours motion of his arm as he starts down the ramp with Celeste following the International Belt strapped around Celeste's waist. Falim walks up the steps to the squared circle before slipping between the ropes, he raises a single arm roaring back to the crowd with a smirk as he takes off his trench coat and tosses it down to Celeste. Celeste promptly wraps up in the over sized leather coat, handing up the International Championship to the referee. Falim pulls back on the ropes stretching ready for the match to begin
Tex Martin: This is going to be interesting, the man that never lost a title match at the ppv against the man that has yet to lose a match in the AWA!!!
The bell rings as Black circles the big monster, Moordune just stands there and awaits the attack of the challenger. Black gets face to face with Moordune as the two start to get into a fight of words before Black somehow manages to blow a mist in the eyes of Moordune. The big monster staggers backwards as Black starts to pound away at him with big time punches. Black kicks Moordune in the knee joint and the big monster drops to his knees. This gives Black the chance to pound away at the face with closed fists. This goes on until Moordune manages to grab Black by the waist and goes for a Belly to Belly Suplex while being on his knees. He slowly gets up to his feet and then starts to shake off the cobwebs on his knee and then goes for a Leg Drop across the throat of the challenger
Duff Travers: Good Grief!!!
Falimetahos gets up and steps over the top rope and goes to the outside as he grabs some weapons from underneath the ring. He grabs a steel chain and wraps it around his fist and then slides back in the ring.
Tex Martin: I dont like the looks of this one!!!
Black slowly gets to his feet as Moordune swings the with chain covered fist towards his head, but Black blocks it as he grabs the fat man's wrist and locks him in a painful wrist lock and then drives several knees into the midsection of the fat man. He then turns the wrist and arm over again as he forces Moordune to drop the chain. Black kicks in the knee joints of Moordune and then grabs the chain to wrap it around the throat of the fat man and chokes him with it. Moordune tries to get the chain off of his throat, but Black drives his knee into his back and slowly makes the big man close his eyes and drop to the canvas. Black lets go off the choke hold and lets the referee start to use the ten count, but the big man manages to get up at the count of seven. Totally groggy of the impact it is the big man that gets kicked into the face by a fierce and stiff kick to the face. This causes him to fall down to the ground and the referee starts to use the ten count on the champion once more
Duff Travers: Oh yeah!!! Stay down champ!!!
Moordune manages to get up at the count of nine, pissing Black off with this and he gets on the case of the big man and starts to pound away with a closed fist to the face and then with the final blow he uses the chain against the skull and this causes Moordune to fall down big time. The referee starts to use the ten count on Moordune and calls for the bell as we award the victory to Erik Black as the new International Champion
Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match and NEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION!!! ERIK BLACK!!!
Black gets the title awarded to him by the referee and raises his shoulders up in the air as the victor before sliding out of the ring and heading to the back.
Mack Blackheart is wondering the backstage area in the search for Crazy J, and wanting to get to the bottom of these attacks from his wife. Until Mack seeʼs a bunch of crew guys just wondering around.
Mack: Hey, have any of you guys seen Crazy J or his psycho wife?
The crew guys shake there heads, as they havenʼt seen Crazy J or his wife anywhere in the arena at the moment.
Mack: If you guys do see Crazy J before my match. Tell him to keep his psycho wife away from my match, because I know that Morgan Star wants to rip her head off, and if she dares to touch me than something bad will happen to her. Do I make myself clear!?
Crew guy: Sure thing Mack, weʼll tell him as soon as we see him.
Mack knots his head as he looks at the crew members making sure the ask Crazy J. Mack than leaves area and the scene begins to fade into another AWA ad.
Stormy Canyon: Before i announce the following match, let me introduce to you the special referee!! Crazy J!!!
The fans react with a mixed reaction as Crazy J raises his arm up in the air
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the AWA Tag Team Championship!! The match is going to be contested under the rules of a Ladder match!! The first to climb the ladder and retrieve the Tag Team Championship belts will be declared the tag champions!! About to enter the arena are the challengers, they are the tag team of Mack Blackheart and Morgan Star!!!
Tex Martin: A team that got together just a week ago, they have a chance to become tag team champions tonight!!
Duff Traves: Wouldnt that belt look HOT around the waist of Morgan?
The twosome walk to the ring as the fans cheer them on
Stormy Canyon: And their opponents, they are the AWA tag team Champions of the world!! They are the tag team of Nailz and Taxx!! The Grave Diggaz!!!
Their music starts to play as the team of Taxx and Nailz walk to the ring, staring att he tag titles that are hanging high in the arena. The champs walk past several ladders and then slide in the ring as Mack charges on both men and drop them with a double clothesline. Mack grabs the bigger Taxx and drives him in the corner with a series of big elbows to the head after having him pulled to his feet. Blackheart grabs Taxx by the throat and starts to choke him with it, The co tag team champion suddenly blasts a high knee across the midsection of Blackheart and that causes him to let go off the hold. Taxx grabs Mack by the head and delivers a spinning neckbreaker and gets up to see that Morgan has got a wristlock on Nailz. But the champion scoops her up and goes for a big time slam. He follows it up with a leg drop across the throat and then gets up to stare at his brother.
Tex Martin: Both brothers want to end this one quickly i think!!
Nailz slides out of the ring and grabs a ladder and tosses it in the ring, Taxx grabs it as he is grabbed from behind by Mack. He uses his immense strenght to lift Taxx in the air as he holds him up by his arms as suddenly Nailz blasts the ladder in the midsection of the challenger who drops Taxxo to the ground. Both him and Nailz drive the ladder in his midsection several times before putting it across the throat of one of the two challengers.
Duff Travers: That's what you get for being friends, you get a ladder jammed in your throat!!!
Morgan suddenly runs up to Taxx and jumps on his back and claws him in the face as Taxx just grabs her by the hair and then lifts her off his back and drives her down with a big time Powerslam in the middle of the ring as he tells Nailz to get the ladder up. Taxx starts to pound away at Blackheart before Nailz starts to climb the ladder and retrieves the championship belts.
Stormy Canyon: The winners of this match and still the AWA tag team champions!!! The Grave Diggaz!!!!
The tag team champions walk to the back after another succesful title defence
The scene opens up backstage at Monday Night Insomnia, Jason is standing outside the door to his locker room apparently waiting for someone, it is at that moment that Jade Green comes up to him.
JG: Hey Jason, waiting for someone.
Jason lets out an aggravated sigh.
JS: Yeah, Sophie and Carry are fixing up their hair and they kicked me out until they are finished, Carry's hair isn't that difficult to maintain but Sophie's on the other hand is due to it's length. I know that because the girls told me themselves.
Jade nods in understanding.
JG: Anyway, I'm here to talk about tonight's main event.
JS: Already? The opening match hasn't even started yet!
Jade nods.
JG: Yeah well, Goth wanted an interview with you ASAP so let's do it!
Jason grins.
JS: Well since you mentioned the boss man's name then let's get this over with, Staniak, your title reign's days are numbered, this title reign will make your minute long Global Championship reign look like AP Feight's Global Championship reign and further more it will be me that enjoys a lengthy World Title reign and not you.
Carry emerges from the locker room her hair tied up in a ponytail, she motions to her brother that he can come in and he does so.
Taxx: Short, sweet and to the point.
Duff: Who cares? He's still a fluke!
The familiar sound of the ring bell is heard, letting everyone know that the main event of the evening is about to start. The crowd inside the Staples Center murmurs as Stormy Canyon walks up the steel ring steps and clambers into the ring, ready to make the introductions for this all important matchup here tonight at AWA Bloodline.
Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen! The time has come for your main event contest of the evening. Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 175 pounds, he is the challenger, Jason Steveeeeens!!!
The opening riff for “Halo” by Machinehead is heard over the PA. As soon as Rob Flynn starts the opening verse, Jason emerges from the back with Carry not far behind. The fans boo him but he ignores them and walks down the ramp. Jason slides into the ring as Carry takes up a position at ringside. In the ring Jason seems amped and ready to go as he waits for the arrival of the AWA World Champion.
Tex: And there’s the man with the HUGE opportunity tonight.
Duff: An opportunity that he’s just bound to blow. Come on. Staniak’s been very hot as of late and Stevens…well, he’s Stevens. What else is there to say?
Tex: So you’re not giving him any chance whatsoever?
Duff: Nope. I’d only believe him to be a World Champion if I saw it with my own eyes. But it’s NOT going to happen tonight. I guarantee it!
Jason’s music begins to fade out as he selects his corner. It’s a few moments of silence and waiting before “Hold Back The Day” by Devildriver hits over the PA system here in Los Angeles. The crowd knows exactly what’s coming up now. That’s right, the man they all hate, "The Red Ripper" and their AWA World Champion, Staniak makes his way out from the back and looks around the arena with an evil look on his face.
Stormy: And from Essex, England, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the Red Ripper and your AWA World Champioooon…Staniaaaaaaak!!!
Staniak throws a smirk towards the cameras right before he makes his way down the ramp. Once at the bottom of the ramp he walks around the ring bad mouthing the fans and showing off the AWA World Title that rests perfectly around his waist. Staniak then slides in to the ring and jumps on top of the turnbuckle and taunts. He then jumps down, runs to another corner and does the same thing. He jumps down from that turnbuckle and turns to see that his challenger is ready. Staniak goes to the opposite corner and finishes getting ready for his match. Once he’s worked out the kinks, he undoes the AWA World Title and hands it over to Referee Simon Jones, who proceeds to hand the belt out to the timekeeper at ringside.
Duff: I put money on this earlier Tex that Staniak would win this within the first five minutes of the match!
Tex: Uh. I hope you didn’t bet TOO much.
Duff: We’ll see if you’re saying that in…well, not very long!
Referee Simon Jones turns back to the two wrestlers and calls for the bell to be rung so this main event can get underway. As soon as the bell is rung, Jason Stevens takes off after Staniak and looks to clip Staniak right in the lower legs by ducking down and extending a foot outwards. But Staniak pretty much senses it and jukes out of the way, making Jason look quite foolish. Jason recovers quickly however and like a snake, he recoils and from the side is able to catch Staniak square in the jaw with a kick that drops Staniak right to the canvas. Staniak shakes it off and gets back to his feet. Jason turns back around to see that Staniak has already risen. Jason gets down into a football-like stance, daring for the champion to come at him.
Duff: Wow! He’s goading Staniak to come at him? That’s not such a hot idea. But it works for me. Looks like I’m going to have quite the heavy paycheck coming to me tonight. WOOHOO!!!!
Tex: Stevens hasn’t lost yet, Duff.
Staniak however shakes his head at Jason, pretty much silently saying that he’s not going to fall for any lame duck tricks. Instead Staniak steps out onto the ring apron and hops down onto the floor. Referee Simon Jones looks down at the champion as Staniak starts to walk away from the ring…
Tex: Oh crap. That’s right. Staniak can keep the title even if he gets counted out! I forgot about that!
Duff: I don’t know why he’d want to lose to Stevens though. Come on Staniak, get back in there and win this! It’s only Jason Stevens for crying out loud!
The referee begins a ten count, but at the count of 3 Staniak changes his mind and rolls back into the ring. Stevens goes to greet him with a kick to the head, but Staniak senses it coming and rolls right back out to the floor, taunting Jason Stevens to come after him outside the ring.
Jason rolls his eyes and goes for the bait without even thinking. He slides right out of the ring, right into the champion’s trap. Staniak begins to lay in punch after punch to the gut of the challenger until Jason Stevens is doubled over. The referee calls for them to get back into the ring so Staniak drives Stevens right into the side of the ring apron. We hear Jason grunt and groan as the Los Angeles crowd ohs for the impact. Staniak then slides back into the ring and looks down at his challenger. Staniak breathes a bit but then raises his arms in the air, signifying that he will indeed remain the AWA World Champion on this night. Referee Jones starts a ten count that Jason Stevens needs to respond to. ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR… Stevens is slowly standing back up at the ringside area. Carry has come over to assist him. As Staniak sees this he slides back out to the arena floor and points for Carry to back off if she knows what’s good for her. Staniak than grabs Stevens and throws him under the bottom ropes, depositing him back inside the ring.
Tex: That may not have been a good move by Staniak there. I’m not usually a fan of foul play but Staniak had Jason outside of the ring. He could have really done some permanent damage there!
Duff: Watch. He’s probably making me sweat it out for my money! And from what the timekeeper has on his match clock, there’s only about 2 minutes or so before I don’t get any money. Come on Staniak! Stop toying with him and get him down like you mean it!
Tex: Like he’s going to listen to you Duff.
Duff: He will if he knows what’s good for him!
Staniak rolls in after the challenger. He waits for Stevens to attempt to get up and stands behind him while he tries. Once Stevens is up far enough, Staniak turns and goes to drill Stevens to the mat below with a Side Effect. However Stevens is able to push off and Staniak’s body plows right into the turnbuckle in the nearest corner. Staniak bounces off of it hard and Stevens pulls Staniak down into a rollup for the first possible fall of the match. Referee Jones drops down to count.
ONE…
TWO…
But the champion kicks out and backs away from the challenger, looking at Stevens disgusted. Staniak gets up to his feet as Stevens has already bounced right back up onto his. Jason takes advantage of getting to his feet first and goes to hit a Pele to Staniak, but Staniak blocks the attempt and goes for a spinning heel kick, that unfortunately for the champion doesn’t find its mark.
Duff: He’s running out of time. And I’m running out of patience! I can’t believe he can’t put away someone as low and untalented as Jason Stevens!
Tex: Jason’s showing some smarts tonight. Something that we’ve seen far too little from him. At least he’s realized the great chance that he has here tonight.
Duff: Sure. He has to pick TONIGHT to actually look somewhat impressive!
The two are once again staring each other face to face. They circle the ring as Referee Jones looks on, just keeping his eyes on the two combatants. Stevens finally lashes forward going for a running knee lift to the chest of Staniak, but Staniak gets a hold of Stevens’ knee and locks his leg around is. Staniak then turns partially around which forces Stevens’ back onto the canvas. Staniak then turns over and locks in a single leg crab which shocks the challenger. The camera catches Jason’s facial expression. Jason desperately tries to head towards the closest set of ropes as Staniak at the same time tries to lock in the crab so it will be impossible to get out of!
Tex: Desperate times call for desperate measures. We rarely see Staniak go for a submission maneuver, but he has one applied here!
Duff: Damn it Stevens! Tap it you…you…
Tex: Kids might be watching this! Don’t even think about it Duff!
Duff just looks steaming mad as Jason Stevens inches closer and closer to the ropes. Finally Jason gets there, reaches his right hand out and grasps a hold of them tightly. Referee Simon Jones calls for a rope break but Staniak doesn’t let go right away.
ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR…
Staniak breaks the submission maneuver just in the nick of time before the referee reaches the count of 5. Meanwhile at the announce table Duff throws up his hands in annoyance.
Duff: Curse you Staniak! It’s past the 5 minute mark! You just cost me a lot of money!
Duff flings off his headset and walks towards the ring apron. Referee Jones sees him coming and yells at him to back off. Staniak looks out and just shakes his head. This distraction though has given Jason Stevens a bit of time to calm down and regain his senses. He comes up to his knees and grabs Staniak, bringing him down to the mat for a pin fall attempt!
ONE…
TWO…
Staniak powers out with his legs and stands back up immediately. He doesn’t mind Duff Travers for now even though Duff is still by the apron looking right up at the current AWA World Champion. Staniak again waits for Jason to come to his feet. Staniak goes for a Twist of Fate when he finally gets up enough, but again Jason is able to stop it and this time perform a reverse move of his own, Irish whipping Staniak to the opposite side of the ring. Staniak comes off of the ropes and Jason catches him at the correct time, able to gets his feet around Staniak’s head and twist and turn him around right into a picture perfect hurricanrana.
Tex: Big time momentum shift here!
Duff glares back at the announce table and then back into the ring, still obviously quite pissed about losing the bet that he had made before the pay per view. In the ring, Stevens follows up on his advantage by quickly scaling to the second rope and flying off, landing across Staniak’s body with a good looking moonsault. Not a great one, but it seems to do a bit of damage. Stevens goes for the cover to win the match.
ONE…
