Bill Barnhart’s image comes on the TRON and the attention of everyone is focused on what he has to say.

Has anyone noticed a trend around here recently? Other than Big Bad Casey, who wanted to go 3-1 up on me, but ended up at 2-2 after I defeated him, have you noticed that all the newcomers to Asylum Wrestling Alliance are requesting matches against the Great Bill Barnhart? Well, except for Kain who claims that Goth and John Irons FORCED him into wrestling me and that he never knew a thing about it even though he had to accept the match and sign the Contract to wrestle me. Do you know why the newcomers to Asylum Wrestling Alliance do this? There are several reasons why the newcomers do this. Let me give you those reasons.

ONE – They are stupid.

TWO – They think that I am getting old and slow and they see a remote chance that if they can defeat me it would be a feather in their cap and project them upward on the wrestling ladder of success.

THREE – They don’t stop and think that wrestling other newcomers, or our two resident Jobbers, would be a better career decision for them.

Look, do any of you newcomers believe I enjoy destroying your careers before your careers even start? Do you think I enjoy humiliating you in front of family and friends who you told to watch your matches? No, I don’t enjoy destroying the dreams of young wrestlers on their way up. But you have to understand that if you are a newcomer here to Asylum Wrestling Alliance, and you go into the offices of Goth and John Irons and demand a match with me, then you have to be mentally ready to accept the loss. Now, any other newcomers on the Roster want a piece of Bulldog Bill Barnhart? Bring in on!

The TRON quickly goes black as a murmur breaks out over the crowd over Bill Barnhart’s comments.

Tex: I just received word that Kain finally made it to the arena here in Augusta, Georgia!

Duff: I'm already loving this, Tex! The crowd hate this guy, but I think he has potential!

Tex: Great...just we need - another cheater, liar, and stealer. I'm with the fans on this one, Duff!

The titantron opens up and the audience sees a cameraman walking up to the side of the limo as it opens up and a young, beautiful blonde gets out of the car and moves out of the way as Kain follows her. He takes off his sunglasses and looks off in the distance, chuckling as he hears the fans reaction. Grabbing their bags from the trunk, they immediately began their trek to their private dressing. But they are quickly stopped by another female voice from nearby.

Page Harris: Excuse me, Kain, may I have a word with you?

Kain turns around and doesn't say anything as he watches the young woman approach her. She appears to be trembling, but summons the courage to speak again.

Page Harris: Tonight, Kain, the whole world has their eyes on you as you plan on stepping into the ring with a veteran such as Bulldog. What is your gameplan against a man like him?

He doesn't say anything more, then takes a step closer and looks at her with a very dangerous gaze...

Kain: A true fighter does not reveal his fighting strategy to anyone. So I think you're gonna have to wait, just like the rest of these fools, and see how I get the job done tonight. But what I will say is this - the match that I have with Bulldog is already in the bag. That #1 contendership spot for the Television title is also mine. Tonight, the world will come to realize the terror that I feed upon their souls and bodies as the oncoming carnage of the king is unleashed. Bulldog will be destroyed in a matter of minutes. I hope he's ready to pay dearly for his foolish words this week. Once he loses, he's gonna have to understand something - this is now MY TURF. Anyone that gets in my way or tries to take away my turf will be decimated! It doesn't matter if it's today or in a month or in a year, for I always get what I want in the end! Like tonight, for instance - Bulldog will fall quickly and I'll be the one walking away not only undefeated, but will be rising in the ranks and become champion in a short amount of time! Now, you ignorant girl, if you'll excuse me, I have a match to prepare for - not that I need any worry, but you just never know...

He laughs as he walks away, with his girl, Ariel, giving Page a look of disgust before walking away and catching up to her man as Page lowers down the mic and stares after the new couple as we return to Tex and Duff at ringside.

Goth can be seen in his office staring at a camera where we see Carrie and Jason talk to each other as the owner grins about the scene that is taking place.

Goth: Good Jason, make sure that you are dictating everything that is taking place in your life. With my advice, I will guide you to the top. Whether it is today, or whether in the future… but I will make a champion out of you Jason… And Carrie? You look mighty fine as well pretty….

The scene changes to a backstage interview

The scene switches to the back where we see Big Bad Casey. He is seen walking around the backstage area getting ready for his standard match with Jonathan Porter. He sees the camera and gives a sinister looking smirk.

Hey Jonathan, I hope you are ready to go through hell tonight. I will put you through more pain than you have ever felt before. You think that I am going to fail yet again against you? Well, when I defeat you, we will see who is laughing then. I will make you scream like that baby whose candy I took when I beat you like you have never been beaten before.

Casey then decides to take a drink of Gatorade. After a moment, when he has quenched his thirst, he continues his talk to Jonathan Porter.

Jonathan, I will prove that I am the better wrestler and will do everything in my power to defeat you. You are a sorry excuse for a wrestler, and I will prove that when I do defeat you once and for all, also proving that I am as good as I say that I am when I do defeat you. You have been lucky to this point in your illustrious career, but will fail to beat me once again.

Then the scene goes into airing Big Bad Casey’s 3 promos he did for Jonathan Porter. Once the 3rd one airs, the scene changes, while Casey walks towards the ring.

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The coming match is scheduled for one fall and is under standard 15 minutes time limit rules!!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 7’1 and weighs in at 375 pounds!! Hailing from Nashua, New Hampshire!!! Big Bad Casey!!!

Casey’s music hits as he walks to the ring, going through different karate stances as the fans cheer him on.

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6’0 and weighing in at 220 pounds!! Hailing from Long Pond, Pennsylvania!!! Jonathan “Fang” Porter!!!

The arena goes dark, a red reticule appears in the center of the ring. On the Titantron a large red F comes up as the words, Furious, Fantastic, Fabulous, Furocious begin to flash on the screen. They flash faster and faster as the scree fills with red. Then in black letters one word remains. FEARLESS. "I'm not Afraid" by Eminem begins to play over the PA as pyros go off and standing in the center of the shower of sparks is the "Man In Black" Fang. He's dressed in a black wife beater, black jeans, and black Airwalks with skulls on the side. He walks down to the ring looking focused on the match ahead of him. He slides into the ring and stands in the center of the reticule. The lights go up and the crowd reacts

Tex Martin: This is going to be a good one, i am curious how Fang is going to cope with the power and the size of the big man!!

Duff Travers: Simple, use an axe and chop him down!!!

Tex Martin: Oh brother,

Fang stares at the bigger man who is trying to impose his massive girth upon him and extending his arms in the air to show at what length he can rise to impress his veteran opponent. Fang slowly circles around Casey before they lock arms and the big man throws the man in black to the canvas as Fang slowly rises to his feet and shakes his head. He looks up at the bigger man as Casey signals for him to get back at him. The man in black goes for another attempt and this time he drives a knee in the midsection of the big man before driving an elbow into the back of Casey’s neck.

Duff Travers: That’s how you chop a big man down!!!

Fang locks Casey in a standing front face lock. Trying to cut off the oxygen to the brain of the big man. But Casey grabs him by the waist and throws him across the ring as Fang hits the ropes. As he comes off the ropes he gets caught by a huge clothesline from the big man as the fans cheer the former champion on. Fang staggers as Casey grabs him from behind and delivers several headbuts from behind before whipping him in the ropes for a big boot. Casey goes for the cover, but Fang kicks out at the count of two.

Tex Martin: That was close!!!

Casey grabs Fang by the head as he lifts him up to his feet, he goes for a chokehold by both hands as he lifts him up in the air. Just as he lifts him there, he gets kicked in the midsection that causes the grip to be loosened and Fang immediately takes advantage by it by executing his infamous.

Duff Travers: Fatal Shot!!!

Fang covers Casey as the big man is now completely unconscious and the referee counts to three, awarding the victory to the man in black.

Stormy Canyon: The winner of this match!!! Jonathan “ Fang “ Porter!!!

With that Fang slides out of the ring and raises his arms in the air as he has successfully won his match against Big Bad Casey.

Winner:

The cameraman catches up with Bill Barnhart who is just exiting his dressing room to get staged for his entrance again Kain. Bill stops and makes a few comments.

Another newcomer…another round of false claims on the part of the newcomer…and another newcomer going down in flames at the hands of Bulldog Bill Barnhart. And do you know what the worst part is Kain? The fact that you guys from street fighting…or Martial Arts…or MMA…or UFC…all think the same thing…that you can easily go from no rules extreme fighting to with-rules professional wrestling. That is like you being a baseball player and you think that you can play professional football. Or you are a hockey player and that your skating and puck slapping can translate into a successful basketball career. Kain…you claim your street fighting will translate well into wrestling but you are wrong. If we were having an extreme Hardcore match then I would give you a 50-50 chance of defeating me. But since this is a Standard Rules match you have less than a 25 percent chance of defeating me. Gee, Kain, I love going into a match with a 75 percent to 25 percent advantage. See you shortly…if you are still brave enough to come to the ring and actually step inside of it to face me!

Bill continues walking down the hallway to stage himself at the entrance area to get ready for his entrance for his match against Kain.

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The following match is for the chance to become the #1 Contender for the Television Championship!

Tex: Here it is folks another match this time for the chance to face off against whomever wins the Television Championship later tonight! For now we have the aspiring new talent Kain coming on the scene facing 'Bulldog' Bill Barnhart who has turned against many of his fans after what transpired on the last Insomnia!

Duff: Waaaaa! Who cares? So what some little kid lost his idol. Bill is doing what Bill needs to do to get somewhere. He knows now he does not need the fans. That is what Kain has shown us all that he does not need those nambie pampy fans to get anywhere here in the AWA!

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring from Oakland, California. Weighing in at 240 lbs. Standing at 6', "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speaker. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris his English Bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to several clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent for the pinfall, or he is using one of his many submission moves to make them tap out. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains leading Iris on her leash. Bill comes out dressed in one of his trademark wrestling outfits the black outfit with pink trim with a pink heart sown over his heart. Iris is dressed in her Pink Diamond-Studded Dog Collar. Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink and white pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill and Iris. Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd with a huge smile on his face even though he gets mostly boos from the crowd, a little boy with a stuffed Iris plush doll has a sad look on his face seeing how his hero has fallen on his face. He then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he hands the leash of Iris to an attendant at ringside climbing the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill walks around the ring to acknowledge all the people in the crowd and he maintains his huge smile all the time although the crowd is booing him for his bad turn. Bill then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.

Duff: Boo Hoo! Look at that little boy! That totla disappointment at Bill Barnhart! I think Bill is loving it! He actually seems charged getting the boos from once his loyal fans!

Tex: Bill Barnhart may have angered his fans because he does not feel like he needs them, but he will need everything he has to face his opponent tonight!

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring the champion! From Detroit, Illinois . Weighing in at 240 lbs. Standing at the height of 6' 4": "The King", Kain!

The first notes of the guitar for Megadeth's "This Day We Fight!", followed by the rhythmic beat from the drums, blare out over the speakers as the camera gets a close-up view of Kain, who pushes away the curtain and steps out backstage and now stands at the center of the ramp. He looks out at the crowd silently who boo him out of the arena, then looks straight ahead at the ring. He suddenly feels another presence beside him now and smirks as he looks over at Ariel, who casts a beaming smile, white teeth showing. She laughs deviously before the two plant a kiss, and then the couple hold hands and walk down the ramp. They ignore the negative fan reaction, Kain keeping his mind focused and his gaze now at the ring. As they reach the end of the ramp, Ariel plants one final kiss to her man before Kain slips his jacket off and hands it over to her. She takes the jacket and covers herself with it as she walks to the side and stares at her man, obviously happy at what she has as Kain climbs up the steps and enters the ring through the ropes. He walks to the lower-right corner of the ring and takes another glance at the crowd, then raises both arms in the air, both hands clenched into fists, posing for the fans and once again acknowledging their presence as the cameras flash everywhere from the crowd. He then steps down from his post, then turns and faces the entrance ramp, casting a serious glare at the entrance ramp, looking at his opponent Bill Barnhart as a stain that needs to be removed.

Stormy Canyon: Coming to the ring! From Detroit, Illinois. Weighing in at 240 lbs. Standing at the height of 6' 4": "The King", Kain!

Kain and Bulldog stare at each other two men ready to tear themselves apart for the chance to face the Television Champion for his gold. Kain always cold looking at Bulldog an old dog that has forgotten who the master is and about ti get a beating of his life. Bulldog just smiles with his ever cocky grin giving Kain that expression he does not give a damn what Kain thinks when this is all done, the Bulldog will have chunk of flesh in his big maw of teeth. Neither monarch nor bulldog listen to the instructions from the referee about the match. Both men see someone to destroy once the bell rings it's toll, but neither man can wait as they lock up just before the bell rings. The startled ref looks over to bell ringer who starts the official match as Kain and Bulldog already start to tear each other apart for the chance to face a champion for championship gold.

Tex: A quick kick from Kain to Bulldog seems to faze Bulldog, who slams to the ground! Kain is on the move but the fans are torn now who to cheer for.

Duff: The winner, Tex, they should cheer for the winner! Not their mambie pambie need to cheer for someone who is not going to win. Once the match is over admit you were wrong! America loves winners! Not losers!

Tex: What the hell are you talking about?

As both Tex and Duff commentate on the match that is before them the crowd watches as Kain has Bulldog in headlock trying to turn the large round man around for one of his patented DDTs. Bulldog fights but is too weak or stunned to stop Kain from setting him up for a DDT. Kain starts to use the DDT to end this fast and quick, but one should never count a Bulldog down. With a quick low blow in Kain's crown jewels, Bulldog loosens the grip on his neck allowing him to lift Kain in the air with one of his suplexes sending Kain up and over to outside of the ring. Bulldog shakes his head from the cobwebs as Kain lays down on the padded concrete outside of the ring.

The world watches as Bulldog struts himself over to outside of the ring. Starting to try to grab Kain by his hair before realizing that Kain had out thought him here. He is bald So Bulldog falls down with an elbow to the hurt Kain. Bulldog says something to a heckling fan as he hits Kain again. The Referee counting, but Bulldog slides in the ring looks at the ref yelling at him to stop. The ref is lost his count as Bulldog goes back out to deal with Kain some more. Bulldog grabs Kain starting to run him into the pole on the outside but at the last minute, Kain in a quick desperate move reverses the momentum having Bulldog's face hit the metal pole with a thud. Bulldog stands trying to shake it off, but Kain is not done with Bulldog Kain slams Bulldog's thick head into the metal pole over and over again! Bulldog stands there looking dazed spining around and falling to the ground. Kain picks up Bulldog sliding him back in the ring. The referee almost gets to 10 but Kain brings himself in climbing to the top of ome of the conners landing inside with ring on top of Bulldog with an amazing Moonsault!

The crowd watches to see what will happen so do Tex and Duff, who have stopped their bickering and commendation to hear the referee with his count. Kain is on top of Bulldog with a smile on his face as the referee starts his count. 1... no movement from Bulldog at all. The crowd watches the intensity in the room could be cut with a knife as 2... is slapped down on the match. Now just one more number to end this match and to send Kain to his chance at championship gold. 3... is going down.

Duff: This is it! A winner is going to be named! His name is Kain! I knew it!

Tex: Didn't you say earlier you thought it was Bulldog?

The ref's hand hits the mat but he jumps up indicating no the 3... does not count! Bulldog got his elbow up! Kain cannot believe he was so sloppy pinning the veteran Bulldog. Kain tries to repin Bulldog but Bulldog won't have it! With some cheap punches to Kain's stomach Bulldog gets Kain off of him! Bulldog looks poed and ready to tear into Kain like a rabid dog in Michael Vick's dog fighting ring! Bulldog starts to tear into Kain with everything he has. Kain seems to take everything Bulldog has with one slapped down with one pulverizing piledriver, Bulldog slaps down on Kain's head! Bulldog cheers posing to the crowd at his impending victory!

Duff: I knew it! Bulldog all the way the Legend is proving himself tonight!

Tex: I canot stand that posing and prancing, Bulldog is giving this too much time. He is being too cocky!

Bulldog moves over to pin, Kain. The veteran and AWA Legend showing everyone why he is one of the best in the game. Clutching the leg to Kain, Bulldog is ready to hear the slapping, the number calling, the bell ringing and the lovely Stormy Canyon saying his name in victory! Tonight is his night! Tonight it will be the Night of the Dog! The Night of the Bulldog actually, but the referee is not slapping down his hands. Bulldog looks at the referee in anger with what is going on. The referee points to Kain's left leg on the bottom rope. Bulldog cannot believe he made such a rookie mistake! He has to let Kain go and he does that then grabs the man to put him in the center of the ring, but not before he applies one of his patented finishers. That is if Kain would let him.

Tex: Kain is up and ready he is countering Bulldog! The young man has some life in him yet!.

Duff: It is the move the desperate he has nothing left! Bulldog has him ready for his finishers!

A bunch of kicks and punches quickly into the massive gut of Bulldog from Kain! Kain recovered as Bulldog was posing for the crowd and now Bulldog is going to pay! Each blow and move is a stunner to Bulldog, who is flung to the ropes and knocked down by a clothesline. Bulldog gets up trying get the cobwebs out of his head fighting back but Kain counters quickly with a Whirlwind Fist. Bulldog just stands stunned but not for long as Kain applies his modified vicious diamond cutter known as the Malice to Bulldog sending Bulldog hard to the canvas! This time Kain hooks the leg as the referee does his count... 1... 2... 3... and the bell rings!

Stormy Canyon: Your winner and the new number 1 contender for the Television Championship: "The King" KAIN!

With his hand in the air by the referee, the AWA watches as a new star is rising with a victory here Kain is starting to establish his legacy. This new rising star, whose nickname is King, is ready for his next opponent this time when he becomes victorious he could hold championship gold in his very hands. Bulldog in the background shakes his head finding out he lost disappears with his stubby tail between his legs.

Winner:

Dmitri can be seen sitting backstage with a bird in his hand

Dmitri: What mysteries are ahead of me? One thing is certain man of mystery… your end is near

With that the camera fades to darkness

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the AWA Television Championship! Introducing first the challenger, from New Mexico, weighing in at 230 lbs, GLLEEEEENNNN FFFFFRRAAAAAAAAAAAANNKKK!!!

The arena goes pitch black as red strobe lights fill the arena. The Intro to "Bodies" by Drowning Pool hits the PA, and out walks Glenn Frank. He has a serious look on his face, as he waits a moment, taking in everything at once. A large flash and explosion happens and Glenn comes to life in a burst of unseen energy as he makes his way down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and takes a deep breath before looking up to the Titan-tron as he waits for his opponent to show.

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, from London, now residing in the Georgian Backwoods, weighing in at 235 lbs, he is the reigning AWA Television Champion! CHRRIIISSSS SHHIIIIPPMAAAAANNN!!!

The arena goes quiet as a military band comes down the entrance way. They position themselves on both sides of the ramp starting at the ring and working their way back. They are soon followed by a choir who walks down the ramp and enters the ring. They get in position and the band begins playing. The choir then starts singing “Battle Hymn of the US Republic”. Suddenly six alter boys walk down the ramp and enter the ring followed by six men who appear to be a Church of Shipman version of Cardinals. They surround the ring and then the arena boos loudly almost drowning out the music as Reverend Chris Shipman appears from behind the curtain. He has the TV title around his waist and holding the bible and cross high in the air blessing the crowd. He enters the ring and gives the bible and cross to one of the alter boys and hands the TV title to the referee. He removes his robe and hands it to another alter boy as the choir exits the ring and the band finishes up the song and goes back up the ramp followed by the rest of the people.

Tex: Here is the AWA Television Champion in the ring now Duff, and I think he's got a great chance of leaving the Asylum tonight with his TV Championship reign intact!

Duff: We'll just have to see about that won't we Tex!

The referee rings the bell and the two lock up. Shipman gains the advantage and starts to punch Glenn Frank. After 2 shots Glenn ducks and kicks Shipman in the gut. He runs to him but Shipman counters with a clothesline. Shipman goes for a pin early on.1...Kickout! Shipman gets back up and starts stomping on Glenn Frank and then picks him up and goes for the DDT but Glenn reverses by kneeing him in the stomach. Glenn then runs off of the ropes and spears Shipman, he goes for the cover 1...2...Kickout!

Tex: I thought he would have had him there Duff!

Duff: I thought you had your brain sorted out!

Shipman gets back up and the 2 lock up again this time, Glenn overpowers Shipman into the ropes. The referee counts and Glenn lets go by the count of 2. Once the referee moves out of the way, Shipman is down on Frank and starts to punch him like a punching bag in a high school gym. The referee tells him to stop but he doesnt and the referee has no choice but to pull him away from Frank.

Tex: Very good of the referee to do his job properly!

Duff: But I want to see these 2 fight, not have it taken away by the referee!

Glenn gets back up and sees the anger in Shipman's eyes and he slides out of the ring. The referee begins to count 1...2...3...4...5...6...Glenn Frank realises he needs to get back in the ring and he brings a chair in with him. He cant use it otherwise he will get disqualified and the referee goes to take it back out as he walks up to Shipman and goes to low blow him but Shipman grabs his arm and twists it round and clobbers Frank in the back of the head with a clothesline.

Tex: Well Duff, what a match this is! Shipman has had the upper hand so far in this contest Duff!

Duff: Yes, but Frank is making a comeback now Tex, you can't count him out yet!

Shipman pulls Frank back to his feet and delivers a hard right hand, Frank rocks back and ends up against the ropes. Shipman Irish Whips Frank to the opposite side of the ring, he then bounces of the ropes and as he approaches Shipman, Frank levels him with a clothesline. Shipman hits the canvas hard but he gets right back up. Frank grabs Shipman and Irish whips him to the ropes. As Shipman bounces off the ropes, Frank nails him with a vicious Spear!

Tex: This is one intense match up Duff, but if Shipman wants to keep his TV Title, he'd better turn this thing around.

Duff: He will, don't worry about that. You gotta have faith Tex!!

Frank gets up off of Shipman, and heads for the turnbuckle. He starts to climb the ropes, but Shipman starts getting to his feet. Frank stands up on the top rope, but Shipman is ready and waiting and connects with an amazing standing dropkick, causing Frank to lose his balance and land awkwardly on the top turnbuckle. Shipman then mounts the turnbuckle, and delivers a solid right hand, followed by a suplex from the top rope. Shipman then makes the cover.

Referee: One... Two... Kickout!

Tex: Well, I think that dropkick from Shipman made the difference here and turned this match around for him. He just needs to stay on top of this offense now.

Duff: Yes Tex!

Shipman stands back up and pulls Frank back to a vertical base, but Glenn kicks Shipman in the gut and then irish whips him to the ropes. Shipman bounces back off the ropes and out of nowhere hits Frank with a Lou Thez Press followed by several right hands! Shipman then pulls Frank back to a vertical base and delivers a sickening DDT! Shipman then goes for the cover!

Frank then pulls Shipman back up and Irish Whips him to the ropes. Shipman bounces off the ropes and Frank hits him with a thunderous Spear and locks him into a Boston Crab!

Tex: He calls that the Red Dawn! This has got to be it for Shipman Duff

Duff: Red Dawn? You really do know everything? You're an idiot Tex!

Glenn Frank really starts to apply the pressure now as Shipman screams out in agony. He's trying to get to the ropes, but can't quite reach them. The referee asks if he wishes to continue and Shipman yells at him YES! Shipman, still in real pain is inching his way to the ropes slowly, and just as he's about to reach out for them he raises his arm and looks set to tap out...Just moments before tapping out, Shipman somehow manages to reach the ropes, causing the referee to call for the break. Frank releases the hold after the referee counts to four. Shipman gets back to his feet, but is struggling a little.

Tex: This is so close I don't think I could pick a winner now Duff!

Glenn Frank really starts to get irritated now that Shipman just won't give in. He grabs Shipman and pulls him to his feet. He delivers a few right hands but Shipman blocks the final one and fires back with a right of his own. Shipman then kicks Frank in the gut and throws him into the corner turnbuckles. Shipman runs at him for a spear but Frank leaps up onto the top rope out of harms way. Shipman though sees it and climbs the turnbuckles too. The two men trades blows, but Shipman gains the advantage and goes for what appears to be a suplex!

Tex: Shipman has turned this match around, moments ago he was close to tapping out, now he looks close to clinching a victory here.

Duff: It looks like he's setting Frank up for the London Calling Tex.

It is not Londons Calling, just a regular suplex! Frank crashes down to the canvas hard and fast, and Frank screams out in pain as he hits the canvas! Shipman then shakes his head, as to say he is not done yet!

Tex: That's gotta hurt Duff!!

Duff: You want to go in there and find out just how much it hurts?.

Tex: Shut up Duff!

Shipman stands over Frank and then pulls him to a vertical base. He kicks Frank in the gut and then hoists him up and delivers The Lord's Touch!

Tex: The Lord's Touch! NO! Come on Frank, kick out!

Referee: One…

Tex: Shipman has both legs hooked, Duff...

Referee: Two…

Duff: You are observant aren't you Tex...

Referee: Three…

Duff: Shipman wins!!!

Tex: Well, I'm not happy about that, Frank looked very good in this match... and he came very close to victory, but, looks like we are going to see Shipman with the AWA TV Title next week at Insomnia!

Stormy Canyon: Here is your winner, and STILL the AWA Television Champion.... CHHRRIIISSS SSSHHIIIPPPMMAAAAAAAAANNNN!!

Tex: Well, Frank came very close to walking out of here with the AWA TV Title Duff, one hell of an effort on his part

Winner:

The scene opens up in Jason "The Sensation" Stevens’ locker room, Carrie is pacing back and forth whilst Jenny looks confused as to why her aunt was so agitated, Jason just sits there with his arms folded.

JS: Sis, would you mind telling me what the hell this is about? I have a damn title match to prepare for.

Jason eventually says and Carrie stops pacing.

CS: Hmm let’s see, in the past you’ve punched men for even looking at me funny and last month Goth and Irons screwed you over alongside Matthew Toddi, one month later you don’t even flinch when Goth kisses me on the cheek and when you do beat someone up it’s some nobody at Goth’s becking call and yet all week you’ve still been pissed off about what happened at Red White And Bleeding, what the hell is up you being so inconsistent?!

Jason shakes his head.

JS: I said it once and I’ll say it again, none of your damn business!

Carrie shakes her head.

CS: But.....

Before Carrie can even counter Jason’s statement the door opens and Goth appears in the doorway.

Goth: It’s time.

Jason stands up and leaves as the scene fades.

The scene comes back from adverts to the locker room and Matthew Toddi is sitting down putting his kick pads on. He zips the last one up as interviewer, Foxxy Dreams walks up to him. Toddi stands up and Foxxy begins to talk to him.

Foxxy: Matthew Toddi, are you nervous about facing Jason Stevens this week at Darkest Places II?

Toddi: I’m nervous? Try Stevens; He didn’t show his face for the best part of this week and I doubt he will show up tonight to face me and if he does, something’s up! With what happened last week, I don’t trust him or Goth or anyone for that matter but there are some that are loyal and will stick with you till the end.

Foxxy: So do you think you can win?

Toddi: I know I can win. You see Foxxy, when you are chasing a title like I have for so long and once you finally get it and someone takes it away your destine is to get it back and that’s what I’m going to do. As soon as I walk out of those curtains and to those people watching I will unleash my true wrestling skills!

Foxxy: Strong words. I have been watching your promo’s this week and you and Chaos have been talking about something ‘happening’ tonight. Can you give us any information at all about it?

Toddi: Like I said, the answer is no! You will have to wait for the moment to come. Everyone else can wait and so can you! Ive got a match to go to now and if I see you again tonight, it will be with a title over my shoulder!

Toddi walks out of his locker room and off into the distance for his match.

Vs.

Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the AWA Internationallll Championshiiiiiiiiip!!!!

Truth by Seether hits the PA system. Before Toddi walks out you hear the opening lines to the theme.
''If I gave you the truth would it keep you alive.
Though I’m closer to wrong and no further from right.
And now I’m convinced on the inside something's wrong with me.
Convinced on the inside.
There’s something wrong with ME!!''.
As the last word of the opening riff sounds, red and white fireworks come from above as Matthew Toddi walks through them. He walks down to the ringa s he high-fives the audience. Once he gets to the ring he runs up and slides through the ropes. He gets up from the floor and walks to a turnbuckle and climbs up it. He then holds his hands above his head as the fans cheer. He then gets down and waits for his opponent as Stormy announces him into the ring.

Stormy: Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 225 pounds…Matthew Toddi!!!

Tex: If everyone remembers, it was one of Toddi’s brothers that has caused this match to happen here tonight. At last month’s pay per view Krusher took a step towards the ring and it was not liked by management. The Death Trap match was immediately stopped and the International Championship was left in limbo with no champion. That belt is on the line here tonight.

Duff: I got a call from the back just a moment ago Tex and it said that we would definitely have an undisputed AWA International Champion as soon as this match is over. On the phone I was told that no one is allowed to interfere or even come out into the arena. This is going to be a pure one on one contest, with the best man winning.

Tex: A great idea from the team of Irons and Goth no doubt…

Duff: For once, yeah…

Toddi’s music begins to die down and it’s quickly replaced by “Beyond The Pale” by Exodus. Jason Stevens comes out from the backstage area, without Steve Ramone and Carrie Stevens, due to the decree sent down by management. The crowd boos for Jason as he simply makes his way to the ring, focusing on Matthew Toddi the whole time. Jason rolls into the ring and bounces off the ropes as Stormy announces him into the ring.

Stormy: And his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 175 pounds…Jason Stevens!

Stormy immediately gets out of the ring and heads for ringside as both Toddi and Stevens look ready to go.

Tex: This should be a good old simple Standard Match between these two.

Duff: As much as I’m not a Blood Brothers fan since they usually cater to the fans, I’m going to say that Toddi should come out on top in this one. Jason Stevens has always been a failure.

Tex: As true as that is most of the time, he has a 50% chance of winning this match, just like Toddi does. Anyways, away we go as there’s the bell.

The bell is heard throughout the arena as Stevens and Toddi circle one another before both going in for a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Neither gains an advantage and both pull away. However Stevens being the veteran of the two wastes little time in going back for Toddi. He’s able to surprise Matthew and clothesline him into the nearest set of ropes. Toddi holds on to the ropes so he doesn’t go up and over. Stevens however grabs Toddi and whips him to the opposite side of the ring. Toddi goes off the ropes and Stevens looks for another clothesline. Toddi however ducks and bounces off the other ropes. On his rebound he’s the one that connects with a clothesline, downing Jason. Jason however gets right back up and goes for a running knee lift. He connects to Toddi’s gut, doubling him over.

Tex: Fast-paced action to begin this one.

Duff: Yeah, at least it’s not dull action… The crowd is actually into this! I’m shocked!

As Toddi is trying to recover, Jason lines him up and from behind, delivers a missile dropkick right to the back of Toddi. Stevens comes in for the first pin attempt of the match.
ONE…
TWO…
Matthew kicks out and goes to roll away from Jason. But Stevens has none of it. He catches Toddi and locks in an STF to perfection as the crowd boos for a few moments, before going to cheer Toddi on to get out of this hold. Stevens however wrenches it in even more and holds Toddi away from the ropes. The referee assigned to the match asks Matthew if he wants to give up, but he shakes his head. Toddi struggles in the STF, desperately reaching out towards the ropes now, but Stevens sees this and pulls Toddi’s arm in. Matthew sees that he’ll have to find another way out of the STF now and finally he does. He musters up enough strength and bucks Stevens off of him. Toddi rolls out to the apron to catch his breath as Jason is the one now shaking his head. The referee holds him away from Toddi until Matthew rolls back into the ring and gets completely to his feet.

Tex: That was almost Toddi’s end right there.

Duff: That would have been something to see Jason Stevens as our International Champion. But it hasn’t happened…yet.

Toddi goes on the offensive now as he nails a few punches to Stevens. Stevens however counters back with a few of his own. Both men are now teetering a bit but Toddi holds himself up just enough to leap up and hit a kick to the back of Stevens’ head. Stevens falls to the mat like a load of bricks and Toddi seizes control of the match.

Tex: Well here we go. Toddi has gained the upper hand. Let’s see if he can cash in on this opportunity.

Duff: It’s very likely that he will.

Toddi locks in the Anaconda Vise almost immediately but Stevens is struggling right away. He’s able to get towards a set of the ropes and finally reach his hand out far enough to grab onto them. The referee calls for the rope break but Toddi doesn’t let go right away so a 5 count begins…
1!
2!
3!
The referee finally decides to pull Toddi off of Stevens, preserving the match and not allowing it to end via disqualification. Toddi glances at the referee but nods politely at him.

Tex: I applaud Referee Head there. He’s doing his job and making sure this match stays clean and ends via pinfall or submission so we all get to find out who the better wrestler is.

Duff: I guess that’s a good thing.

Tex: It’s a VERY good thing.

Toddi goes back in for Stevens now, but Stevens is able to elbow Toddi backwards. Matthew shakes off the quick elbow though from his opponent and dives low to trim Stevens down to size. He’s successful in taking Stevens’ legs out from under him and goes for a pinfall.
ONE…
TWO…
Jason kicks out. As soon as he does Toddi for the first time in the match begins to climb up to the top rope. He makes it there and goes to fly off for a swanton bomb, but Jason catches him in mid-air and plants him with Sensationalized. The crowd ohs as Toddi hits the mat violently. Jason is determined that this is it and he goes for the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
Toddi is barely able to roll the shoulder, but it’s enough to get the referee to stop the three count. Stevens slaps the mat with his hand.

Tex: He’s getting frustrated. You don’t ever want to do that.

Duff: But it’s Jason Stevens. He ALWAYS finds a new way to lose. So I expect him to be frustrated like this that he can’t put Toddi down.

Jason waits for Matthew to rise now, turning his attention back to his opponent. Matthew begins to get to his feet now and Jason grabs for him and goes to bring him up for the Muscle Buster. The crowd is in awe as Stevens is able to get the heavier Toddi completely up into the air. Stevens goes to bring him down but somehow on the way down, Toddi reaches out and is able to hit the MKO!!! Toddi rolls away as Stevens eats the canvas…HARD! The crowd is shocked and amazed as the cheer for Toddi now. Toddi sees Stevens rolling around on the mat in pain and doesn’t go to cover him. Instead he waits ready to pounce. The referee checks on Stevens and Jason says that he’ll be fine. He gets up but accidentally walks right into a second MKO from Matthew Toddi!

Tex: A SECOND MKO!!! Good grief! I don’t even know how Jason survived that first one!

Duff: Somehow he did, but he’s down now…

Toddi rolls Stevens over and goes for the cover, hooking the leg.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!!!
Toddi drops Stevens’ leg and slowly stands up. Referee Head raises Matthew’s left arm as Stormy Canyon makes her announcement after sliding the AWA International Championship belt into the ring. Meanwhile the referee scoops it up and hands it over to Toddi. Matthew raises the belt high as “Truth” by Seether begins to play.

Stormy: Here is your winner and AWA International Champioooon…Matthew Toddi!!!!

The crowd cheers as Matthew continues to celebrate. Jason meanwhile is recovering and chooses to just roll out of the ring, once again disappointed. With his head lowered he heads up the wrestler ramp and to the backstage area.

Tex: The thrill of victory is in the ring, while the agony of defeat is once again at the side of Jason Stevens.

Duff: Not much of a surprise really. But it is Jason Stevens. He’ll be back. He always is…

Tex: That is true. It’s the one thing I admire him for. Anyways, time to roll on tonight as we still have yet to learn who will be Matthew Toddi’s next number one contender, not to mention who the Universal Champion will be coming out of tonight!

The scene in the arena fades out…

Winner:

The camera cuts to Josh Stevens running in place somewhere back stage. He sees the camera and begins to speak.

About time you people showed up for this interview. Look, I'm here to tell these AWA fans once and for all what IS going to happen tonight. I'm going to put a hurtin on these three superstars like they've never seen and go on to win the number one contendership. You can count on that. This is going to be the match of the evening and no doubt the toughest of my career. But in the end, just like I've said a hundred times, I will come out on top.

The scene fades as "The Frogman" Josh Stevens begins doing pull ups.

We now cut to ringside as the announcer speaks out

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is a Fatal Four Way match and is for the number 1 contendership to the AWA International championship! Introducing first from Moscow weighing in tonight at 275lbs, he is DMIIIIIITRIII!!!

Vampiria's Legacy in Blood hits as the arena goes black and the Titan Tron slowly starts to drip blood until the name of Dmitri appears. Dmitri slowly walks out to the ring with his manager walks in front of him. He does not concern himself for the people that are either exchanging their hands to touch him or to throw their drinks at him. As the two enter the ring his manager opens the ropes for him and allows Dmitri to get in.

Tex Martin: Dmitri looking to turn his recent luck around and pull out a big win here

Duff Travers: Yeah but to do it he has to get past three other men, which is easier said than done

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent from Galveston, TX weighing at 220lbs he is JOOOOOSH STEEEVENS!!

Indestructible by Disturbed hits the PA and fog begins rolling out of the entrance to the arena as "The Frogman" Josh Stevens makes his way out. He stands at the top of the ramp looking around, a cold demeanor on his face. The reflection of a thousand fans can be seen in his pitch black sun glasses. Suddenly a loud blast goes off behind him and sparks begin flying into the air. Towering above the camera crew, he slowly, methodically, makes his way to the ring.

Duff Travers: This is my right here Tex!

Stormy Canyon: The next opponent for this match, making his AWA Début weighing in tonight at 260lbs, he is D-VOOOON DAAAVID!!

Tex Martin: Well your an idiot cause here comes mine, I have heard about this guy and I think he could go all the way here tonight

The arena lights go red and blue as Adrenaline by 12 Stones hits the PA system. D-VON walks out with a black leather jacket on. He looks at the fans that are booing at him before he walks down towards the ring. He walks up the steel steps and onto the second rope and holds his hands high in the air. e comes down and enters the ring through the ropes.

Stormy Canyon: And finally, he weighs in tonight at 258lbs, he is MAAAAASOOON STOOOORM!

Without warning the lights dim to darkness as Bring me to life by Evanescence begins to erupt in the arena. The crowd pops in anticipation as the ramp way begins to fill up with a foggy mist and Mason Storm begins to strobe across the big screen. Arms fly in the air as his theme climaxes when the lightning pyro strikes down from the rafters and he begins to walk out in his traditional ring attire. He stands there watching the fans for a short moment and walks down to the ring. He steps through the ropes in to the squared circle and gazes out in to the darkness. All four men stand in a corner each, looking back and forth at one another, the bell sounds to begin the match

Tex Martin: and that's the sound of the bell here we go....

Mason Storm darts at Dmitri with right hands, firing off at him with a few shots firing him back into the corner, meanwhile Josh Stevens goes after D-Von David with a few right hands of his own, Josh pushes D-Von in the opposite corner to Mason, he then tries to Irish whip D-Von but he counters it sending Josh Stevens right into the back of Mason who falls into Dmitri, all three in one corner, D-Von runs full force hitting the back of Josh with his chest, squashing all three men, D-Von takes a few steps back, Josh falls to the canvas, Mason stumbles back while Dmitri falls onto his ass in the corner, D-Von lifts Mason with a big back drop, after Mason smashes down onto the canvas D-Von goes for the early cover

Tex Martin: I told you, he is going to take this one early Duff

Duff Travers: 1.... 2... not quite Tex, a kick out from Mason and this one continues

D-Von stands up but doesn't see Dmitri back to his feet who runs up behind D-Von David with a big boot to the back of the head! Down goes D-Von and he rolls under the bottom rope after the impact, Dmitri turns around right into a drop kick from Josh Stevens who has come back from out of no where! Dmitri hits the canvas, Josh now goes to pick up the seemingly out cold Mason Storm but he is in for a big surprise when Mason comes to life pulling Josh down to the canvas locking in a cross face submission

Duff Travers: This is exactly why Mason Storm is a dangerous force, you never know what to expect from him

The crowd explodes into cheers for Mason while Josh is screaming in agony as Mason pulls on the move tighter, really locking it in that is until Josh manages to pull himself towards the ropes, he is about to reach it...... and he does the referee tells Mason to break the hold, which he does straight away, Mason stands to his feet, seeing D-Von on the outside he climbs through the ropes and out onto the floor, he grabs D-Von who rakes the eyes of Mason coming back into this match, D-Von throws Mason into the security wall with a loud thud with the impact, D-Von rolls back into the ring but gets sent right back out with a clothesline over the top rope by Dmitri!

Tex Martin: Man this one is really just all out from the start and Dmitri now taking control

Dmitri turns around to see Josh Stevens getting to his feet, Dmitri hits a knee to the gut of Josh then pulls him in for a side walk slam, Dmitri hooks the leg, referee comes in for the count, one... two.... but a kick out, the two men stand to their feet, Dmitri is up first and clubs Josh across the back, he then locks in a side head lock, trying to take real control of this match, Mason Storm is climbing up onto the apron but Josh Stevens pushes Dmitri away to the ropes, Dmitri smashes right into Mason who lands back on the outside, Dmitri turns around right into a big time SPEAR from Josh Stevens!!

Duff Travers: THATS IT!

Josh hooks the legs, referee comes in for the count, ONE....... TWOOOOO..... THRE...... NO!! D-Von David climbed back in the ring and pulled Josh off Dmitri breaking the count, Dmitri has rolled to the outside onto the floor next to Mason Storm while back in the ring D-Von grabs the throat of Josh Stevens, lifting him into the air before slamming him into the canvas with a big time CHOKESLAM! Cover. Count. ONE....... TWOOOOOO...... THR..... STILL NO!

Tex Martin: My god another kick out, Josh Stevens kicked out

D-Von stands up, angered, arguing at the referee, while on the outside Dmitri is picking up Mason who surprises him with a right hand then a clothesline over the security barricade, the two end up in the crowd exchanging right hands back and forth, the crowd going nuts while back in the ring D-Von turns around to see Josh slowly standing to his feet, D-von comes up behind him and locks up Josh in the master lock, Josh struggles to escape, the crowd on their feet, Josh manages to break out of it, turns around and starts delivering right hands to D-Von, fighting him back into the corner. All the while Dmitri is getting the advantage, beating down with right hand after right hand. D-Von David fights back by getting a thumb to the eye of Josh much to the annoyance of the sold out crowd

Duff Travers: D-Von resorting to cheap tactics here, come on, that ain't right damn it!

D-Von puts Josh into the corner now and climbs to the ropes, standing up he lays in a right hand, then another, one more before raising his hands in the air, taunting to the crowd when suddenly Josh comes to life grabbing D-Von by the tights, he pulls him into the centre of the ring before hitting the big Jack-Knife POWER BOMB!!! the referee comes down for the pin, back outside the ring, Mason Storm has since gotten in control, he looks back into the ring turning his back to Dmitri, Mason sees the referee getting into position, he is about to make his way back to the ring when Dmitri stands up and clubs Mason across the back making Mason stumble down, Dmitri lays in a few hands to Masons face but then looks up towards the ring to see the referee count ONE..... TWO.... THREE!!! Josh Stevens raises his hands in victory

Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match and new number one contender to the International title, JOOOOOSH STEEEVENS!!

Josh exits the ring and walks up the ramp while D-Von stands in the ring, Mason and Dmitri are still in the crowd all the while, Josh stands atop the ramp, raising his hands as we cut to the next segment

Winner:

The camera cuts backstage on the number one contender to Hank's Universal title, he is backstage in his locker room, as the crowd see him appear they cheer loudly, but no grin from Chaos tonight, it is all serious business, this could be the biggest night in his career, all focus from him as he looks at the camera, speaking out one more time before he heads out to fight Hank Henry for the richest prize in the wrestling business

Chaos: Tonight... tonight.... it has been a long time coming, tonight is the culmination of all my hard work, all my success, tonight is the night that every ounce of sweat, every drop of blood, every win, every loss.... every broken bone, it all counts for something, tonight I go out to that ring to give literally everything I have to give and will not stop until I am the Universal champion, tonight I arrive at something I have talked about for months..... my destiny

The crowd continues to cheer, the volume reaching fever pitch at this point

Duff: Chaos so focused here tonight, you can tell how much this belt means to him...

Chaos: Tonight... is a changing of the guard, the balance of power within the AWA is about to shift into my direction and truth be told...

He can't finish his sentence as his mobile rings, he looks at it with a bit of surprise, he answers it

Chaos: I'm surprised to hear from you.... you're cutting it close... so you have had time to think on it, what is your position on tonight?

We can't hear who is on the other side of the conversation or what they are saying but we do finally see a slight grin creep across the face of the Monster

Chaos: That's good to hear... you won't regret this!

The Monster hangs up and a sadistic grin now fully takes over before he walks off screen

Tex: What was all that about, who was on the phone?

Duff: I have no idea but I do know one thing, Chaos is going to be facing Hank Henry in a Buried Alive match later this evening and it will be brutal

Vs.

Stormy: This next contest is a buried alive match and is for the Universal Championship. Introducing first, the challenger, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds, ‘The Monster’ Chaos!!!

The lights in the arena go dark and suddenly AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long" hits over the PA and the lights from the stage burst into life as the lyrics quickly build to the chorus as Chaos makes his way out onto the stage, he raises his hands into the air as a barrage of pyro shoots upwards from the stage sending the crowd into a frenzy, Chaos continues to walk down to the ring and up the stairs, climbs into the ring and jumps to the second rope, raising his hands once more as another set of pyro shoots down from the arena roof behind Chaos, he jumps down as the music fades and he is ready to get down to business!

Tex: What did I say; this man did make it to the Universal championship match.

Duff: Yes but I can bet on it he wont win!

Stormy: And his opponent, he is the Universal champion, from Ellis, New York, weighing in at 246 pounds, Hank Henry III!!!

Hank Henry comes out with his limping manager Chaplin Graves, they discuss the pro and cons of the upcoming match, they walk down to the ring, Hank gets inside and Graves stands by the apron.

Tex: I know he is the champ and all but I don’t think he is that great!

Duff: What do you mean; Hank is one of the best in this business!

The referee calls for the bell once the 2 wrestlers are ready and Chaos goes straight at Hank Henry bringing him down with a fast spear. They are both on the ground and Chaos starts hitting punches and Hank reverses with a head but knocking Chaos away. Hank gets up and so does Chaos. The two lock up and Hank Henry over powers Chaos and pushes him into the ropes, he bounces back and Hank lifts him over his head leaving him back first on the canvas.

Tex: Hank got the advantage there.

Duff: He sure did, all he needs to do is keep it.

Hank slides out of the ring and drags Chaos by the long hair out with him and he lands with a thud on the safety mats. Hank goes under the ring and finds a chair and smacks Chaos over the back with it sending pain to the back of Chaos. Hank sets up the chair and picks Chaos up; he locks his head within his arm and drops down on the chair with a thunderous DDT!

Tex: Unfortunately for him, this is a buried alive match, not a standard 1 fall to a finish match.

Duff: yes, but he is just hurting Chaos before he throws him in the hole in the ground!

Hank picks Chaos up but Chaos low blows him. Hank Henry drops to his knees in pain. Chaos gets another chair from under the ring as the one he got DDT’d with is broken. He finds a barbed wire chair and swings it at Hank but he ducks gets his fork from his tights and stabs Chaos in the leg with it. Chaos holds his leg which is now bleeding from the fork wounds. Hank Henry goes behind him and kicks the back of his knee making Chaos drop to his knees. He grabs him in a head lock and starts to jab Chaos in the head with the fork until he bleeds.

Tex: First stabbing people with the fork…Now jabbing them in the head with it.

Duff: He will do anything to retain the title from Chaos.

Tex: Yes, but it wont do because in every match these 2 have had, Chaos has always won and this will be the same case!

Hank gets up and spits in the blood covered face of Chaos. He tries to grab Chaos but he tries to pull himself under the ring with his 1 working leg. Hank lifts the apron up to get Chaos but he smashes him over the head with a glass rod busting him open as well! Hank grabs his face and falls backwards leaning on the crowd barrier. Chaos gets out from under the ring and drags out a weapon with him. He pulls out a ladder but it seems to have barbed wire around it.

Tex: Wait, is that a barbed wire ladder!?

Duff: It seems to be. This is going to get extreme!

Chaos gets the ladder and runs at Hank Henry with it but he moves just in time. Chaos throws the ladder over his head and behind him as if he was pump-handle slamming it and it connects with Hank Henry knocking him down to the ground. Chaos drops to the ground and tries to get his fingers under the mats. He does and moves them out of the way unveiling the concrete floor.

Tex: What is he thinking of doing here!?

Duff: I don’t know but its not going to be pretty!

He picks Hank Henry up and drags him towards the uncovered concrete floor. He kicks him in the gut making him bend over. Steps back and runs towards him, he then jumps for the Hollywood drive by but Hank lifts his body up making Chaos land on the concrete!

Tex: He definitely drove by with that one!

Duff: This is no time for your jokes!

Hank walks over to the ladder, picks it up and walks with it up the ramp next to the grave and drops it. He turns to go back to Chaos but without realising, Chaos got up, walked up to Hank and brought the barbed wire chair with him. Chaos then smacks him over the head with the chair and Hank lands on the ladder! Chaos walks to the pile of soil that is needed to burry your opponent and uses his hands to dig through it. Chaos pulls out a folding step and sets it up.

Tex: He must have planted that there!

Duff: Sometimes, I think I work with an idiot. Of course he planted it there!

Chaos climbs to the top of the steps facing Hank Henry and out of the blue, Chaos does a moonsault but Hank Henry moves and Chaos lands on the barbed wire ladder!

Tex: We don’t normally see Chaos do highflying moves like that!

Duff: And that would be why!

Chaos roles off of the ladder and holds his stomach in pain. Hank meanwhile is getting up and tries to slide Chaos onto the soil and into the grave but Chaos realises and tries to kick off. Hank steps back and Chaos gets up, Hank grabs a chair and hits Chaos in the head with it knocking him into the grave!

Tex: All he needs to do is cover him!

Duff: And he will, I know he can.

Hank gets the shovel, and starts to fill the grave but Chaos revives and tries to pull himself out. Hank keeps kicking him back down and Chaos goes for the easy option. He gets some soil and throws it in the eyes of Hank Henry. He drops the shovel and Chaos steps out of the grave. All of a sudden, Chaplin Graves tries to get involved but Chaos grabs the shovel and hits him across the head with it knocking him out.

Tex: That will teach him not to get involved.

Duff: Yes, but he needs to concentrate on Hank!

Chaos walks over to the barbed wire ladder and sets it up. Hank Henry walks over to Chaos as he has his face towards the ladder and drop kicks him into the ladder. Chaos turns around and elbows him in the side of the face. Hank falls and takes a trick from Chaos and grabs a handful of soil and throws it in the face of Chaos.

Tex: They are both resorting to cheating now!

Duff: They are not cheating, they are taking the advantage of their surroundings!

The 2 men are trading punches besides the grave. Chaos grabs Hank Henry, steps back and hits the super kick which he now calls the Reboot and it knocks him into the barbed wire ladder Chaos had set up earlier and Hank yells in pain. Chaos tries to climb the ladder with his 1 working leg and once he gets to the top, he grabs Hank Henry, lifts him onto his shoulders back first into a torture rack position. He flips Hank Henry over for the Annihilator Slam and drops him but luckily Hank lands just next to the grave and not in it!

Tex: He sure got lucky there!

Duff: See, if Chaos was a good enough wrestler to know what direction straight ahead was, Hank would be in there.

You can see the disbelief in Chaos’ eyes as he climbs back down from the top of the ladder and lands next to Hank Henry. He stomps on Hank Henry with the blood from Chaos’ head dripping onto him. Chaos lifts Hank up, kicks him in the gut and the lights go out! After a couple of seconds we hear a chair shot. The lights come back on and Hank Henry is tied by his arms and legs to the ladder with the barbed wire!!! Chaos grabs the ladder, pushes it down onto the grave and it lands on it! Tex: Oh My God!!

Duff: That’s not fair, the lights went out!

Tex: It is fair. No rules in this match remember and that was clever by Chaos there. All he needs to do now is get that shovel and start digging up soil to put on to Hank and the ladder he is attached to with the barbed wire. Chaos may have won this!

Chaos gets the shovel and starts to dig up soil and throws it over Hank Henry and the ladder until it is covered. Chaos falls to the ground in pain as the referee rings the bell.

Stormy: Here is your winner and the new AWA Universal Champion…CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chaos looks up to see three hooded men, all in black, one of them helps him to his feet as the crowd goes silent

Duff: What the hell is going on here Tex...

As Chaos now stands to his feet, Hank in the grave, mostly covered in dirt, he looks at these hooded men in confusion... but only for a moment as a grin slowly starts to appear, other referees try to dig Hank out but one hooded member gets a shovel and hits it over the head of one of the referees. He takes off his hood revealing none other than Dmitri!

Tex: What!

Dmitri attacks the other two referees who have dug to get Hank out and he uses the shovel to recover Hank Henry while Chaos removes the hood of the man who helped him to his feet, his own brother Toddi who laughs and then hugs his brother the two raise their arms before being handed a shovel each by the final hooded figure, who after handing Chaos his shovel extends his hand out, the two shake and we see Chris Shipman revealed as the fourth man

Tex: Duff, I can't believe me eyes... what are we seeing here, Chaos... Dmitri... Toddi and now Shipman too...

Duff: I'm not sure what is going on Tex but whatever it is, it can't be good for the rest of the AWA roster!

The three help Dmitri finish off the grave having buried Hank Henry in the dirt, the crowd in stunned silence as they stick their shovels into the dirt and leave them there, the four of them stand on top of Hanks grave, Chaos looks over at Shipman who pulls out a spray can and hands it to Toddi by Chaos' orders

Duff: Chaos is directing traffic out here, I can't believe this...

Toddi takes the top off the can, shakes it a few times then sprays the word “AXIOM” across the tombstone in white, Dmitri hands the Monster a microphone who has a large grin on his face as the crowd has begun to boo the group loudly

Chaos: I have been saying for months that the “truth” was coming, but no body listened, no body took notice, all the while behind the scenes I was constructing something, a force to be reckoned with, a unit that would not go un-noticed again, here stands four of the best wrestlers in this business ready to stand up against what is wrong with this company, a corrupt company...

The crowd continues to boo, the volume reaching fever pitch at this point

Duff: What is he talking about...

Chaos: You see folks,all I have been talking about is the truth and that the wrestlers in this company are all too full of themselves, they all can't help but brag while burying themselves knee deep in lies, telling the world they are at the best at what they do and are in better shape than ever but then go and take enhancement drugs because they can't quiet cut it on their own

“Ass-holes! Ass-holes!” begins ringing out through the entire arena, the axiom stand tall shaking their hands Dmitri takes the microphone for a second

Dmitri: This entire arena is filled with people jaded by society's lies and deceit, your opinions meaning nothing to us, so why don't you all show a little bit more respect, a little bit more class and just shut the hell up while this man is speaking!

The crowd boo's even louder now, the heat at these guys are getting is through the roof

Chaos: Thank you Dmitri, now as I was saying, the truth is that people in this company don't know how to stand up for their believes, there are no morals left in this industry... just take a look at Hank here, since day one he has been a drugged out alcoholic, yet he came here tonight as Universal champion, the face of the company was a crazed drunken mess.... what kind of message does that send to the viewers and their kids watching at home!? Hank for once looked like he was going to clean up his act, something I was about to finally respect him for but then that just didn't go to plan, you see earlier this week he said he could go sober, try to get his head in the game but after two days he was already back in a bar drowning away his sorrows, yet look where it got him, he is the first folks....

Toddi: The first of many that will learn a lesson at the hands of the Axiom! And who better to do it with than my own brother. We have been a unit from the beginning and remember me saying earlier about something happening, unless you are retarded and need to it to be explained, this is it!

The crowd begins to throw stuff from the stands, any kinds of rubbish they can get their hands on, trying to throw them at the four men but they are just out of reach and the rubbish falls just short of them. The four continue to shake in disappointment as Shipman takes the microphone

Chris Shipman: I am a reverend. I am here to get people to speak the truth, act the truth but nobody listens. I joined Chaos in conversation and we agreed that people weren’t getting the message so I am here, to spread the word of the lord and he speaks of the truth.

finally the microphone is handed back to Chaos with a large grin creeping across his face as he speaks out

Chaos: Ladies and gentlemen you are witnessing history, a revolution within this company, something that has been needed for a long time, we are here to save you all!

The crowd is deafening with their reactions, the announcers have taken their headsets off at this point, just sitting at their table watching the events in shock

Chaos: We have risen up from the ashes of deceit that spread through this company just like the rest of the poisons that plague the AWA... like Hank here

The Monster kicks dirt towards the tombstone laughing as he does so, he then takes a step back, joining his group once more as he speaks one last time

Chaos: We are here to purge the Asylum of its filth, to make this place a better place... the AWA has been put on notice, the Axiom is here, there is no avoiding us and one by one you will all face “rehabilitation” at the hands of the most powerful force that Asylum has ever seen.... Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight will be the night that the world will remember as the night it all began, the night that the wrestling business changed forever, let yourself indulge in this truth, the truths that we speak out to each of you.... soon enough.... you will all find that the truth will set you free!

Chaos drops the microphone and all four men raise their arms and begin to laugh sadistically over the crowds booing, standing over Hanks grave, this group has arrived with a plan to “purge” the AWA, the Axiom is here and as we exit the show the four men stand tall with their arms raised at the top of the stage as we cut to black
