("Dirt Off Your Shoulders" by Jay-Z plays as the intro for Seoul Survivor plays. The
scene switches and Rizzo is shown walking backstage. As he turns the corner, he sees Walker’s daughter, Penny. Rizzo kneels down to talk to the little girl.)
Rizzo: Hey there kiddo.
Penny: Hi Mr. Rizzo. Please, don’t hurt my mommy too bad tonight.
Rizzo: I’m sorry Penny, I can’t make any promises. But, I need to ask you a favor.
Penny; Um, what is it?
Rizzo: Tell your mommy that if she tries to hurt any more of my family, something tragic may happen to someone she loves.
(Penny’s eyes go wide with terror as Rizzo gets up and walks away. The scene cuts back to Jimmy and Brutus.)
Jimmy: I fear for the worst tonight. This isn’t going to be good at all.
Brutus: It’s going to be GREAT! This will make the buyrates shoot through the ROOF!!!
JR- Well tonight is looking to shape up as one of the IEW's more interesting PPVs.
Brutus- Seoul South Korea will never be the same.
JR- I think we've already made an impact here tonight. But lets get to our opening match of the night, James "The Epic" Hunter vs. Sean Dubose. THese two have created a history for each other for the better part of a six weeks. Theres been a lot of confusion between them, and a lot of it has to do with Hunter's manager Jerry Biggs.
The Mic- The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL. Making his way to the ring first, IEW newcomer ... at 235 pounds he is "The Epic" James Hunter!!!
( "Accept The Pain" by Paradise Lost begins to play softly in the arena. James slowly walks out in his wrestling attire of taped wrists and green tights with black highlights designs and a black shirt with "The Epic" written in white. Jerry follows him out wearing
the standard black suit with white dress shirt. He smiles as he follows James out to the ring who is focused on the ring. He slides into the ring and takes off his shirt on the turnbuckle, he looks over the fans before dropping his shirt to Jerry. Jerry whispers some advice to James, before dropping down to the ring level. James waits in his corner for his opponent )
The Mic- And his opponent ... weighing in at 208 pounds he is Sean Dubose!!!
( The house lights flash blue and yellow with the opening drums and guitar of "Good Times Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin plays. As the first verse begins blue and yellow lights flash at quick, regular intervals. Sean, in his St. Louis Blues Jersey, shorts with a yellow jockstrap on the outside, and carrying his trusty wooden sidekick Bitchboy, makes his way down to the ring. )
JR- Hopefully these two will finish this like men, with respect.
Brutus- Really? Id rather see one of them lose it and turn this into a brawl.
JR- Well I think your going to see a very technical contest here.
- Sean and Hunter slap hands and then starrt circling each other around the ring. The two finally lock up and start jockeying for posistion. Hunter appears to go for a duck under but Sean blocks it with his arm. The two release the lock up. They circle again ...
JR- Testing each other out.
- They lock up again and once again jockeyy for position. Finally Hunter overpowers Sean and gets him into a side headlock. Sean flails his arms before pushing into Hunter. Sean seems to spin out and get hunter set up for a snap suplex, but Hunter pushes Sean off sending him into the ropes. Hunter comes off the opposite ropes to hit a shoulderblock, but Sean spins out. Hunter turns around to get a kick to his gut followed by Sean hitting a snap suplex! On the outside Jerry Biggs slams the mat in frustration.
Brutus- That was a pretty good exchange there.
JR- Those two have very complimenting styles.
- Sean picks up Hunter carefully but keepss him on his knees, there he locks in a front face lock, keeping his weight on Hunter. Hunter bursts out to the side causing Sean to hit the mat. Hunter also rolled out ontop of Sean and spins to his own front face lock. Sean tries to get up and Hunter allows, as Sean gets about halfway up Hunter hits his own snap suplex and floats over for a cover ...
One
Two ... Kickout!
JR- Two count on the nose.
Brutus- These two are having trouble getting the best of each other.
JR- Agreed, just like their first singles match.
Brutus- I notice Biggs getting angry.
JR- Biggs has caused more animosity in this little feud then either one of those wrestlers has. I think he is a problem for Hunter, and Hunter should get rid of him.
Brutus- Biggs is one of the greatest managers of our time.
- Hunter picks up Sean and gives him a feww knee strikes. Sean holds his side, Hunter runs and hits a bull dog on Sean. Hunter gets up fast and slaps his chest toward the crowd. He turns around to pick up Sean but Sean picks his leg. Sean stands up now first. As Hunter tries to get up Sean goes for a springboard moonsault but Hunter catches it in a shoulder breaker posistion. Sean slides down Hunters back pushes him into the ropes, Sean hits the other ropes and reattempts his springboard moonsault, which hits a running Hunter perfectly. Sean stays on for a pin....
One
( Biggs moves as if to break the count. )
Two
Kickout!
JR- See Biggs going over there, when Hunter was perfectly able to kickout him self.
( Sean moves to Hunters head and locks in a camel clutch, Hunters face strains. )
Brutus- Nice, make Hunter feel the pain.
( Sean keeps the move on before letting go, Hunter tries to rise but Sean hits a low dropkick to Hunters head. Sean goes right back on for a camel clutch. )
JR- That dropkick deflected right off Hunters forehead. Sean is playing it smart here.
( Sean lets go of the submission again. He climbs the turnbuckle and waits for Hunter to stand up. Hunter groogilly does, facing the opposite direction. Sean comes off for a top rope bulldog but Hunter senses it and hits the mat and rolls. Sean collides straight into the mat and bunches up in pain. )
JR- Wow, Hunter showing off his reflexes.
Brutus- How did he see that?
( Hunter waits for Sean to get up and when he does Hunter hits a suplex! Hunter keeps the move and hits another! )
JR- This could be it... The NEver Ending Story!
( Hunter keeps it locked and brings Sean up againn, this time he hits a belly to belly suplex! )
Brutus- And it was!
JR- Nice combo by Hunter.
( Hunter covers ... )
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
( Hunter picks up Sean and gives him a gutwrench suplex! )
JR- Hunter is really taking back control.
( Sean holds his ribs but gets up, he ducks a Hunter clothesline and comes off the opposite ropes still holding his ribs but with one arm extended for a clothesline. Hunter ducks but hits a back body drop on Sean! Hunter picks up Sean and sets him up for a DVD. )
JR- Could this be the Epic Ender ... Hunter calling to end this match.
( Sean seems to shift his weight and Hunter stumbles into the turnbuckle. Sean slides off onto the turnbuckle, as Hunter turns around Sean locks his head and hits a tornado DDT from the top turnbuckle!!! )
Brutus- WOW!
JR- Sean just changed the pace of that match.
( Sean sends an arm over for a cover ... )
ONE!
TWO!
( Biggs runs over again ... )
THR...Arm up!
JR- HUnter still managing to kick out.
( Sean looks up exhausted. Sean grabs Hunters ankle and locks in an ankle lock. HUnter screams in pain. )
Brutus- This could be it.
( Hunter rolls onto his back trying to kick off Sean but Sean stays on. HUnter is back on his stomach and lifts up like a push up, before sending all his weight into a mule kick, which connects with a "thud" on Seans head! Hunter falls to the mat tired. )
JR- These two men, countering everything they send at each other.
( Hunter finally gets up and moves over to Sean, he brings his arm down to pick up Seans head but Sean armbars the arm while sending his legs quickly into a triangle choke onto Hunter. Hunter is standing in an armbar, triangle choke UFC move ... )
Brutus- THis has got to be it!!!
( In a display of incredible strength Hunter somehow manages to lift Sean by his armbared arm and send him back first into the turnbuckle. The crowd gives an OOOOOHH! Hunter faints on the mat. )
JR- Whos gonna win this???
( Sean and Hunter lie on the mat as the ref begins the count ....

JR- Not this way, dont end this way ...

Finally HUnter grabs a rope and pulls himself up, Sean manages to do the same a second later. Sean runs at Hunter but Hunter uses the momentum to hit a DDT! )
Brutus- Look at the DDT, propelled by Seans own momentum.
( Hunter takes a breather before pulling himself to his feet. Hunter grabs Sean and sets him up onto the top turnbuckle. Hunter is getting himself up there also, his head down as he climbs the buckle, Sean takes advantage, and with Hunters head down Sean jumps and rolls hitting a sunset flip powerbomb off the top rope. Crowd- OOOOOOHHH!!!! Sean stays on for the pin, Hunters legs are flailing about to kick out. )
JR- OH my god!! Is this it ....

Brutus- Yea Biggs, you better save your client.

JR- What!?
Brutus- Wait isn't Biggs suppose to be helping Hunter?
( Sean gets up, nto noticing BIggs. Sean raises his hands in glory before leaving the ring. As he walks back up ... )
The Mic- THe winner of this match Sean Dubose!!!
( Sean keeps his back to the ring and walks up the ramp. In the ring Hunter is drilling Biggs for some answers... )
JR- A nice win for Sean, but it was tainted. And I want to know the answers as much as HUnter does.
( Biggs extends his arms as if to say, Oh well or I dont know, but then he fires a punch off into Hunters face and Hunter hits the mat out cold. Biggs raises his hand up, which has a set of brass knuckles on it. Then he grabs a mic ... )
Jerry Biggs- Hunter .... YOUR FIRED!!!!
JR- Wait I think Biggs has it wrong, Hunter hired him ... not the other way around.
BRutus- Ha ha! Biggs is telling Hunter he doesnt manage losers!!
( Just as this is happening, Sean runs down from the back and spears Biggs. He sends a ton of punches into Biggs head. Then he picks him up and sends him out of the ring. Sean extends his hand for HUnter and helps him get up. )
JR- Sean showing his respect for Hunter, after a hell of a match.
JR- Are you ready for this one Brutus? It's Rizzo versus Khrystal Walker!
B- This ought to be good.
Voice: 1... 2... 3... Hit it
White and red flashing lights go off as "Super Bad" by James Brown plays. Rizzo comes out from behind the curtain holding his blood-stained chair Rizzo walks slowly to the ring and he stops right in front of the ring. Rizzo gets in and he raises the chair up with one arm as red and white sparks fly out of the ring posts backed up by a wall of flashbulbs. As he turns around Krystal Walker spears him to the ground. The referee calls for the match to begin as Krystal pounds Rizzo with lefts and rights.
B- Jesus...
JR- This match is underweight, and Rizzo didn't see that coming!
B- Even if he did, Krystal would have ripped him a new one.
The referee pulls Krystal off of Rizzo, but she shoves him away. She goes back to the mount but Rizzo grabs her by her head and rolls her over with a monkey toss sort of move. He begins to pound on her with a barrage of lefts and rights until Krystal tosses him off of her. Rizzo grabs Krystal by the hair and levels her with a punch right to the face. The referee warns him not to use the closed fist but he ignores him and sets him up for another punch. Krystal ducks this and applies a waist lock to German Suplex him to the ground. She succeeds and Rizzo crashes to the mat. Krystal grabs him by the leg, but before she can drop an elbow to his groin Rizzo kicks her in the gut. Rizzo bounces him and DDT's her down to the ground. She holds her head in pain as Rizzo begins to lay in the boots on his opponent.
JR- Rizzo isn't showing any remorse in this match, he didn't even go for the pin.
B- I like it, Someone is going to get hurt for sure.
JR- Your just in it for the violence aren't you?
B- Why ask such a stupid question, Of course I am!
The referee tells Rizzo to back off, Krystal begins to get up but before she can, Rizzo drops a knee across his stomach. She coughs and gasps for air, to make it worse Rizzo decides a blatant choke would be appropriate. He releases his hold on the 4 count, and the referee tells him to back off. He nods trying to get him off his back. Rizzo grabs Krystal by the neck and lifts her up for another DDT, She has other plans and tosses him over for a Release Northern Light Suplex. Rizzo bounces back up to get a big boot to the face, he falls down and as he crawls for the ropes Krystal Walker applies a Camel Clutch. The referee informs her that Rizzo has gotten to the ropes, so she pulls him away and begins to blatantly choke him back. She drops him after a 4 count, and gets in the referee's face. Before she can even threaten him, Rizzo low blows her and rolls her up for a quick pin.
B- HAHAHAHAHAH!
JR- 1....2... Krystal kicks out! What's so funny?!
B- Nothing.
The pin attempt is in vain and Rizzo goes back to choking Krystal. The referee tells him if he keeps it up he's going to throw the match out. Rizzo ignores this and tosses Krystal out of the ring. The referee again gives him a talking to, but Rizzo just flies over the top rope and nails Krystal Walker with a cross body block. The crowd likes the act of high flying and cheers. The referee begins to count, as they go up to 3, Jay tosses Krystal into the steps. She hits hard and stays there for a moment or two. At 5 Rizzo goes rushing at her for a knee strike, but she rolls out of the way and Rizzo crashes and burns on the steel steps. Krystal grabs Rizzo by the tights and tosses him back in at the 8-count. She drags him up and tosses him into the turnbuckle. He hits chest first, Krystal comes near but Rizzo reels back with an elbow smash. She takes a few steps back and charges at Rizzo. Wisely Rizzo lets her shoulder hit the ring post. Rizzo yanks her out of there and quickly Tornado DDT's her down to the ground.
JR- And he's going for the pin...
B- NO! Rizzo is going back to choking her! What a man!
Before the referee can even react, Rizzo rolls out of the ring and jerks Krystal's legs into the turnbuckle. He quickly grabs her leg and snaps it around the turnbuckle. Walker screams in pain as Rizzo continues to do this. The referee begins the 10-count but right as he gets to the 8, Rizzo rolls back into the ring. He drops a knee across her head. The referee tells him to cut it.
JR- Rizzo is going to get himself DQ'ed!
B- I don't think he's hear to win Jimmy!
Rizzo grabs Krystal but before he can even think about doing something, Krystal lifts him up and drops him across his knee. Rizzo doubles over from the inverted atomic drop, but Walker isn't through with him. She jerks him up and puts him up into the torture rack, Rizzo yells and screams in pain. He tried to kick and punch his way out, but right as he is about to get out Krystal slams him down with a neck breaker. She goes for the pin but Rizzo kicks out at the two. Walker motions to the crowd this is it, She grabs Rizzo by the neck and lifts him up for a powerbomb.
B- She's going for the Cherry Bomb, this is it!
She lifts up Rizzo, but he fights her off with a barrage of punches. Krystal wobbles back and forth, but Rizzo snaps her over with a hurricana, over the top rope. The two of them fall on to the floor as the fans scream and some chant "Holy Shit". The referee looks down at the two, laid out on the floor, he begins to count.... 1.... 2... 3... 4.... 5... 6... 7... The two begin to show signs of life and crawl towards the ring... 8... 9... Both Rizzo and Krystal Walker muster up enough strength to get into the ring. Rizzo gets up inside of the ring as Krystal gets up on the apron. The two get to there feet but Rizzo kicks her off the apron and into the barricade. Krystal falls into the barricade hard, but Rizzo falls harder into it as he attempts to hit a double axe handle on her, but she moves. Walker grabs Rizzo and Military Presses him back into the ring. She begins to search under the ring and pulls out a steel chair. Rizzo on the other side reaches outside of the ring and pulls out his chair.
JR- This has bad news written all over it
B- This is going to get ugly!!!
Walker enters the ring with her steel chair in hand. Rizzo swings and he slams the chair on Walker's head. Walker reels back, but then she nails Rizzo with a shot of her own. Rizzo falls backwards into the ropes, only to bounce back with another vicious chairshot to Walker's head. Walker falls to one knee, but she gets back up and she nails Rizzo with another shot.
Brutus: Jesus Christ! These two are going to have some big freaking headaches after this is done!
Rizzo drops to both knees, but he shakes it off and gets back up. Walker is in shock, but shock turns to pain as Rizzo slams his chair on her face again, this time busting her open. Walker stumbles backwards into the corner, blood pouring down her face, Rizzo approaches for another shot, but Walker suspires him with a quick shot of her own, opening Rizzo's forehead. Rizzo stumbles backwards, holding his face with one hand and the chair with the other. Both competitors meet in the middle of the ring, they wind up, and they both destroy each other with equally brutal chairshots right to the face. Both people fall down, and are bloody and knocked out. The crowd chants "Holy Shit" as the medics rush the ring.
JR- WOW! That hurt just to watch it! I don't think the war between these two has ended.
B- Jimmy, it's just begun, and it's going to get A LOT worse!
JR- That's what I'm afraid of!
The Mic: The result of this match is a no contest!
Brutus: Am I the only one who isn’t surprised this one ended without incident?
Jimmy: Nope!
*Scene opens up to backstage at Seoul Survivor. We see Leigh Beido in a light blue business suit. She is standing with Lion and Gorilla who are in their ring attires. She addresses the camera before the two men.*
Leigh: Hi, Leigh Beido here with the former IEW Tag Team Champions, Lion and Gorilla, the Beastly Squad. Hi guys. So how does it feel to have your last rematch for the titles tonight?
Lion: How does it feel? Well, we don?t have another contract that gives us ANY match we want like last time. So it?s an all or nothing deal. Oh, but guaranteed, we?re going out to give it all we?ve got. I may look calm now, but rest assured, when that bell rings the insanity WILL be released upon the Dream Team.
Gorilla: Exactly. Besides, IF we lose, we?ll just work our way back up like Lion and Croc did. We will show the Dream Team that their mistakes should have NEVER been made. So, you might want to watch closely because this WILL be a match that you WON’T want to miss.
*The camera pans to show Magnum and Dream Man. They walk into focus where Leigh Beido is the only one between the four men, two on each side of course. *
Dream Man: Well, well, well, if it isn't the Beastly Squad. How are you doing boy's. Are you two ready for the ass whipping of your life tonight. See, all the talk is over tonight. Now is the time to put up or shut up and I can promise you that you two will be doing the shutting up.
Magnum: That's right, These titles are coming home with us tonight. We are not leaving without them and I don't care how insane you get, nothing is going to stop me from drilling your ass into that ring tonight. As for you Gorilla, try not to break the ring tonight ok.
*All four men stare each other down. Lion and Gorilla exit stage right, Lion walks backwards still staring at the Dream Team. At the same time, the Dream Team exit stage left. Leigh is left facing the camera. She addresses the camera.*
Leigh: That just goes to show you the intense competition between these two teams. Stay tuned to see what happens during the tag title match.
*The scene fades out and then fades in to show Jimmy Rollins and Brutus at the announce table.*
Jimmy: WOW! The tag title match is going to be INSANE! These guys are going to be bringing their A game!
Brutus: Speaking of A games, here comes our three way match!
(The scene opens an empty arena with the Seoul Survivor set completely set up. All the lights in the building are on. At the bottom of the screen the words *EARLIER TODAY* flash as the camera zooms in on Trevor Adams standing at the top of the ramp leading to the ring.)
Adams: You see this? People have been doing nothing but talking non-stop about how I raise eyebrows with the things I’ve been saying and doing. The way I look at it, if people are that concerned about with what I’m doing then there’s only one of two answers. One is that they really don’t have anything else in their lives to live for and just can’t get enough of me, which if that’s the case is their prerogative. Doesn’t matter to me because I just don’t give a damn. Second reason is because they’re legitimately concerned. Would you start beaking off with random facts and bullshit that you know isn’t true just because? I think not.
(He looks around for a minute and smirks.)
Adams: I tell the truth whether people want to hear it or not. In just a few short hours I’m going to be stepping through that entrance behind me into my domain. Rison, Malachi you’re just going to be following merrily along. The fact of the matter is that THIS is where I prove you both wrong. This is where I am the master and commander…. This is my sandbox boys. If you can’t play by my rules you can take your Tonka trucks and go home. I am going to be the new number one contender whether you, or that piece of shit called Chaos likes it. That’s it that’s all boys. Come deal with it… it’ll be your pleasure to be known as the other guys in there with Trevor Adams. I’m ready to do what it takes… are you?
(Trevor glares into the camera menacingly as the cuts back to Jimmy and Brutus.)
Brutus: Trevor Adams is ready for WAR baby!
Jimmy: He seems more focused than usual. This won’t bode well for the others in the match.
The Mic: The following contest is a three way dance and it is to determine the number one contender to the IEW Intercontinental Title. Coming to the ring first, he hails from Wolverhampton, England and he weighs in at 22 pounds… Malachi!
[The Jumbotron suddenly starts to flicker and get filled with static, causing the house lights to go on and off sporadically. After a few seconds, "Click Click Boom" by Saliva starts up, the arena lights cut out, and coloured beams of light move randomly around the stage. The JumboTron flashes up the word "Malachi". However, suddenly, the static returns to the JumboTron and the lights start to act sporadically again.
Brutus: Ok, what the HELL is going on? Can this guy ever make it to the ring normally at all?
JR: I’m sure it’s all just part of Mal’s entrance.
Brutus: Oh GREAT…. Wake me when something exciting happens.
Suddenly the static builds up loudly and then stops as “Insomnia” by Feeder kicks in. The word “Malachi” is once again on the JumboTron, along with Mal doing such moves as the hurracaranna, rope flip, Frog Splash, and his finisher "The Fallout." The crowd starts to go nuts as the coloured beams of light once again more randomly around the stage.
Brutus: Oh, so new music huh? Whoop-di-doo.
JR: Oh be quiet! It fits him perfectly!
After a few seconds Malachi emerges on the stage, signalling to the crowd to a loud ovation. Then as the lyrics kick in, he stands at the top of the ramp sideways on with his left hand in his pocket and his right arm in front of him, and then he swings his right arm above his head with his fingers about to click, and as he brings it down, he clicks his fingers and their there are huge pyro explosions on either side of him on the stage. He then walks down to the ring, climbs in, and gets onto the middle rope on one of the sides, holding the top rope with his left arm and signalling to the crowd with his right. He then goes to the other side of the ring and does the same.]
The Mic: And his first opponent hails from Memphis, Tennessee and he weighs in at 230 pounds… Matt Rison!
["A.D.I.D.A.S." by Korn fills the arena. Matt Rison walks out from behind the curtain pumping his right hand in front of him. He then stops and looks at his right hand before shaking it viciously up and down as if to be cleaning it off. He then makes his way down to the ring trying to get high fives from the crowd, but noone gives him one so he looks at the crowd holding his arms out like "what gives?" as he continues to walk to the ring. He climbs in and up onto the second rope where he does his "Jacked Up Dance" as cameras flash from several places in the arena before hopping back down to the mat.]
The Mic: And their opponent stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and he weighs in at 252 pounds. He is accompanies to the ring by Shayne Cross…. Here is “Class Act” Trevor Adams!
[The opening melodic string chords to "Clubbed to Death" by Rob D ring out as the lights in the arena drop. Blue and white stage lights slowly turn up as the music builds. As a big bass line starts hitting, white strobe lights around the entranceway start flashing. Shayne Cross walks confidently out from the back wearing a black sports jacket and white shirt along with dark sunglasses. Trevor Adams strides slowly from the back with an intense but confident smirk on his face as he comes into the light of a white spotlight shining down from the far end of the building. As he walks towards the ring, blue and white lights roam aimlessly around the ring and the white strobes begin to flash over the ring. He takes a long slow lap around the ring then gets up on the ring apron with his right knee and pulls himself all the way up. He slides through the ropes to a shower of camera flashes. Shayne walks up the stairs and steps between the ropes. Adams hops up onto the 2nd rope of one corner of the ring and stares out over the crowd raising his arms slowly in the air, palms facing upwards with a cocky grin on his face as cameras flash like lighting in a darkened building. The ring lights slowly come up as Adams hops off the turnbuckle.]
Brutus: This match is going to be GREAT!

Mal jumps up and pushes off the apron with a nasty jumping tornado DDT onto the concrete floor. Malachi picks Adams up and he rolls Trevor into the ring. Shayne Cross sneaks up behind Malachi, but Mal turns around just in time. Shayne backs away as Malachi climbs back into the ring. Malachi climbs up to the 2nd rope and then he crushes Adams with a 2nd rope forearm drop. Mal covers.*

thre NO!!!
Jimmy: WOW! What a Kickout by Trevor Adams!
Brutus: This is AWESOME! And look, Malachi is getting frustrated!
*Malachi lifts Adams up and he kicks him in the ribs. Malachi bounces of the ropes and right into a big powerslam by Trevor Adams. On the outside, Matt Rison climbs up on the apron and then onto the top rope. Adams stands up, turns around, and then Rison hits him with a top rope tomahawk chop. Rison clutches his leg right after he lands.*
Jimmy: That leg is still giving him problem!
*Rison bends over to lift Adams up, but Adams grabs him by the trunks and sends him head first into the bottom turnbuckle. Adams gets up and he waist for Rison to stands up. When he does, Adams lands a hard kick to the midsection and he takes Rison down with a fisherman’s suplex. Adams bridges for the pin.*

Mal gets up and he dropkicks Adams right in the ribs to break the count. Malachi lifts Adams up and he Irish whips Trevor. Malachi catches him and he throws Trev to the mat with a spinebuster. Mal stands up and then he runs to the ropes. Mal springboards off the 2nd rope with a moonsault, but Adams gets his knees up, causing a not so happy landing for Malachi. Adams gets to his feet and he nails a hard boot to the stomach. Adams hooks Mal’s arms and then he drives Mal head first into the mat with a double underhook reverse DDT.*
Jimmy: The Bastille! That’s it!
*Matt Rison gets up, and then he surprises Adams with a knee to the side of the head. Rison lifts Adams up, and then he drives Trevor head first into the mat with a huigh angle DDT. Rison lays Adams on top of Malachi!*
Brutus: What in the hell is he doing?
*Rison watches as the ref counts.*

(DING DING!)
The Mic: The winner of this match and 31 contender to the Intercontinental Title… “Class Act” Trevor Adams!
Brutus: There you have it! The vest man won.
Jimmy: Under VERY suspect circumstances.
[Out of nowhere the arena goes dark and suddenly the tron static’s and a video feed of the abducted DarkDragon’s shown on the screen. He is chained by each arm outstretched by a chain on each arm to the ceiling and each feet chained to the floor by separate chains in this very large room. The room itself is his Ninja master’s dojo. Dragon suddenly wakes up wondering how he gotten there and chained up and struggles some and then he looks in front of him, his master’s head on a pole. Dragon then muscles up and breaks the chains.]
Jimmy: What is this all about?
[Dragon is shown dropping down in a kneeling position and looks up to see someone who looks like Matt Rison walking in and Dragon lunges up and then goes for a huge roundhouse kick to the neck and snaps the head off from the body and the blood from the body spews up from the neck and a splatter is heard from the ring and the lights come up with Rison looking around in shock. Rison finally looks back at the tron as Dragon is looking into the camera.]
Dragon: How does it feel to be covered in your own blood? Prepare for your Tortured Nightmare!
Brutus: What beef does he have with Matt Rison?
Jimmy: Maybe Rison is M!!
Brutus: Nah! He’d be MR.
Jimmy: You’re retarded, aren’t you?
Leigh Beido enters Rage's locker room. He is taping up his wrists and hands, his hair has been tied back and he is absolutely focused at taping his hand. Leigh begins to talk to.
Leigh Beido- Rage, I've got a few question for you.
Rage- Yeah?
Leigh Beido- What is your strategy against an unstable Downfall?
Rage- To beat him.
Leigh Beido- ... What?
Rage- You heard me.
Leigh Beido- Some are hailing this as your most challenging match yet.
Rage- No, but I do need a challenge out there. Downfall has claimed this won't be a cake walk, he's right, I am going to challenge myself out there.
Leigh Beido- How? Isn't it difficult enough?
Rage- Miss Beido... You aren't the brightest star in the sky. You've got the hots for Downfall, you have your head up in the clouds. Downfall is not a challenge to me, I have fought the world's greatest competitors. I have fought on every continent except for Antarctica, and you don't know how hard I've tried to get a wrestling ring down there. While Downfall may be good, he's not that good, I need a challenge, and I will provide it.
Leigh Beido- Ooooh-kay. Don't cop the attitude on me.
Rage- Leigh... Do you want me to put on the X Mask and use big words to degrade you, or do you want me to keep using words you understand?
Leigh Beido- I've got one more question.
Rage- Yeah?
Leigh Beido- How do you feel about Doctor Love's ultimatium?
Rage- Don't make me laugh Leigh... It's a joke.
Leigh Beido- How so?
Rage- No... No More Questions, I need to get in the zone.
Leigh Beido- But...
Rage- Out.
Leigh shakes her head as she leaves Rage's locker room, who pulls out something from his duffel bag as the camera goes to the ring.
Entrance: Revolution" by Judas Priest begins to play, after the opening riffs, a blast of pyro goes off. Rage walks out with a smile across his face getting a fantastic ovation from the crowd. He spends little to no time posing at the top of the ramp way, he just walks down the ramp with the same smile but the second he rolls into the ring he jumps up onto the turnbuckle and begins to scream and pose for the fans. Rage laughs to himself as he throws off the shirt he was wearing out to the crowd. He hops down to the ring level and gets ready for the match.
B- What the hell is Rage wearing out there?
JR- It's.. It's a Wet suit!
B- ... Why?
JR- He did say he needed a challenge, wet suits are rather hard to move in. This will be a challenge.
B- Downfall is so going to beat him!
JR: What a night so far! It’s been a sloberknocker!
B: I agree Jimmy, and up next is going to be one of the most brutal matches of the night. In just a few moments, the new Anarchy Championship will be put to the test, and I’m sure this division will live up to its name. Let’s go ringside with The Mic.
*The camera switches to the ring, where The Mic is standing in the middle with a mic and a piece of paper.*
Mic: The following match is for the IEW Anarchy Championship. It is scheduled for one fall with one added stipulation. But first, let’s introduce the challenger... weighing in at 289 pounds, RAGE!!!

JR: He did say he needed a challenge, wet suits are rather hard to move in. This will be a challenge.
B: Downfall is so going to beat him!
Mic: And his opponent, from Chicago Illinois, he weighs in at 230 pounds... he is the reigning IEW Anarchy Champion... DOWNFAAAALLLL!!
(The lights go out, as the opening notes to "Man or Animal" by Audioslave play on the speakers. The IEW-Tron shows random images from Downfall's past matches, coming slowly at first, then increasingly rapid, images from Downfall's most brutal matches.)
"Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obidient
out of control...
I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you're right, when you're wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don't care
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore...
(When the lights come back on, Downfall and Michelle are standing at the top of the stage. Downfall raises his arms over his head into a crossed wrist X position slowly. When his arms meet, flamethrowers on either side of him shoot red flames. (Ultimo Dragon style). Then Downfall runs into the ring and jumps on the turnbuckle, standing there, arms out (ala Randy Orton). When he hops down he holds the Red Hood mask in his hands, staring at it with intensity, as he waits for the match to start.)
Mic: Now the added stipulation for this match is that falls count ANYWHERE!
(Crowd pop)
B: All right! Just what I want to see! Let’s get on with the match! This is gonna be great!
JR: Just a second, Brutus. Mic is about to say something else.
Mic: And finally, introducing the special guest referee for this match, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania............... JASON TWIIIIIIIIISTED!!!
("Never Gonna Stop" by Rob Zombie plays on the PA, as Twisted runs out onto the stage, and runs to the edge of the stage and screams something to the fans, a la Edge, then walks down the aisle.)
Yeaaaaaahhhh
My durango number 95
Take me to the home
Kick boots
And ultra live
See heaven flash
A horrorshow
Knock it nice
And smooth
Step back and
Watch it flow yeah
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop me...
(Twisted slides in the ring. Downfall is watching all of this with a shocked and pissed of expression on his face, and Rage doesn't seem too happy about it either.)
Brutus: What the hell, it's Jason Twisted! Why is he wearing a referee's shirt?!
JR: Idiot, he's obviously the special referee for this match.
Brutus: Emphasis on special... yeah, Twisted as a referee, no he's not going to interfere or anything...
(Downfall can't believe it. Twisted flashes him an evil smile as he holds up the Anarchy title to both men. He tells both men he's gonna call it right down the middle)
DING DING DING!
JR: Rage and Downfall go at it like two bulls at the rodeo. They lock horns and struggle to get an advantage. Rage starts to overpower Downfall but he gives Rage a drop toe hold. Rage stumbles to the ground and Downfall stomps on his head a few times before he can get up. Now Downfall walks over to Twisted and gets in his face. Come on! Just wrestle already!
B: He’s just making sure Twisted doesn’t do anything stupid. Wait a second! Rage has gotten up and rolls Downfall into a schoolboy pin!!! Twisted goes down to count...
Twisted: 1...
2...
JR: And Downfall struggles free. I have to admit, Twisted is calling a fair match so far. He could’ve gotten a three count if he wanted to.
B: I don’t know, I still don’t trust him. Rage gets up to meet Downfall and they collide once more. Downfall goes for a grapple, but Rage hits a hard elbow right to Downfall’s temple and he goes down hard!
JR: What a forearm smash! I think I heard the crack from here! Rage now picks up Downfall and tosses him outside of the ring. Rage now starts to climb the turnbuckle. Downfall starts to get up but its too late. An atomic elbow smash from the top rope to the outside!!! Downfall is out cold, and Rage is struggling to get back on his feet!
B: Twisted also goes outside to check on the competitors. Rage finally gets an arm over Downfall. Since pinfalls count anywhere, Twisted reluctantly counts.
Twisted: 1...
2...
Thr... arm up!
JR: Downfall shot his arm up just in the nick of time! Rage looks at Twisted to call for the bell, but he claims it was a two count. Now Rage gets in Twisted’s face for a few choice words. All three of these men hate each other in one form or another.
B: This bickering gives Downfall just the time he needs. Michelle helps Downfall up and gives him a steel chair. Rage turns around to a smash in the gut with the chair! He keels over with the wind knocked out of him. Twisted plainly sees this and goes up to Downfall as if to take the chair away from him. Downfall gives Twisted a “go ahead, see what happens” look. Twisted then steps aside, since it is an Anarchy Title match. Downfall walks to Rage who is trying to get up the apron. Downfall “helps” Rage up, but tosses him into the ring, where Rage rolls to the center on his hands and knees.
JR: Downfall walks calmly back into the ring and smacks the chair across the back of Rage. Rage holds his back, in pain. Then, Downfall opens it, and sits the chair in the middle of the ring, then grabs Rage by the head and drags him to his feet. What is he doing here?
B: Downfall runs off the ropes, and performs a bulldog, right onto the chair, as Rage hit by his throat, right across the backrest of the chair like a guillotine! My God, what a brutal move, Downfall just bulldogged Rage, throat first onto that chair!
JR: Rage is holding his throat, he may be seriously injured!! Downfall just laughs sadistically and taunts Rage. I know he is the champion of anarchy, but this is going too far. This man is just plain sick!
B: Downfall finally goes for a pin. Twisted slowly goes down for the cover.
Twisted: 1.............
2.............
Thhhrrrrrrr... Kickout!
JR: What a desperation kickout by Rage! How did he get the energy to kick out of that?
B: Wheaties?
JR: ...
B: Still, did you notice the ridiculously long count by Twisted? The match should be over.
JR: Maybe it was a delayed count, but it wasn’t all that bad. Downfall seems to agree with you though and heads over to Twisted for a few choice words. Twisted gets right back in Downfall’s face, not backing down. Downfall turns away as if to ignore Twisted’s threats, but then swings back around unexpectedly and whips Twisted to the ropes, whereupon return Twisted eats Downfall’s boot a la Beast Kick. This is terrible! Downfall should be disqualified right now!
B: Listen to yourself, Jimmy. You just don’t want to admit that Downfall should be Anarchy Champion right now. Downfall now gets up and heads for the top rope. He then goes for the Downsault (moonsault) but Rage rolls out of the way and Downfall lands straight on his stomach. Rage grabs the now deformed chair and gives Downfall a taste of his own medicine. Downfall holds his back in pain as Rage tosses the mangled chair aside and puts Downfall in a camel clutch!
B: Downfall’s back must be in excruciating pain now! Twisted gets back up and watches diligently as Downfall wails around. Still, he refuses to tap. This only makes Rage madder, and he wrenches back even harder. Downfall yells in pain, but still holds on to consciousness somehow! Just as Downfall is about to give out Rage is tripped and releases the hold. What happened?
(The camera pans out to reveal Michelle trying to sneak out of the ring before anyone can see her.)
JR: Twisted seems oblivious to what happened, but Rage knows! Rage runs toward Michelle and leans between the ropes and out of the ring, and grabs her by her hair. Out of nowhere Downfall comes off the top rope with a guillotine leg drop across the back of Rage's head. Both men crash and burn on the concrete.)
B: Rage tried to attack Michelle but he took his eyes off Downfall, and he paid for it!
JR: I think both men paid for that. Ouch. Downfall crawls weakly to his feet, as does Rage. Downfall kicks Rage in the gut, and performs a swift Russian legsweep, sweeping Rage's head right into the steel guardrail with a loud crack.
Crowd: "Ooooh"
B: Damn, that had to brain his damage.
JR: Umm, don’t you mean damage his brain?
B: Whatever! Now Downfall is rummaging under the ring and digs out a ladder, and lifts it up. He laughs, and as Rage gets up, Downfall runs at him and smashes the ladder into the forehead of Rage. Rage goes over the guardrail and into the first few rows of seats! Popcorn and beer is flying everywhere.
JR: My God, Downfall is showing a vicious and brutal side tonight. Downfall grabs Rage, but Rage unexpectedly tosses Downfall over the guardrail as well, crushing a few more seats! Rage gives Downfall a few more forearm smashes straight into Downfall’s skull.
B: Again with the forearm smashes. How is Rage still standing after the beating he already took? Rage somehow lifts Downfall in a gorilla press maneuver but sends him down headfirst into the guardrail. Downfall’s head snaps back as he hits the concrete. Is Downfall still breathing??
JR: Call the match, Twisted! We need EMT’s out here right away!! Rage stumbles over the guardrail himself and grabs Downfall to give him a stiff toss right into the pole. Then he throws Downfall into the ring and grabs a table to follow. Rage tries to set up the table, but Downfall knocks it down and grabs Rage for an Irish whip to the ropes. Downfall attempts the Beast Kick but Rage ducks it while running to the opposite ropes. Rage bounces back and lands a flying forearm smash right into Downfall’s face! Downfall is bleeding badly.
B: Twisted checks on Downfall’s condition as Rage takes off his wet suit top, revealing to the crowd not only his manly muscles, but two steel rods taped to either forearm. What a scoundrel!
JR: Well for once, Downfall has been out cheated in his own game! Rage is in complete control of this match. Rage now gets Downfall up and gives him the Grim Chance (side effect) and Downfall is out cold! Rage gives the Xtremity Maker sign and the crowd cheers uncontrollably. Rage then points to the table and asks the crowd’s approval. They cheer even louder than before, if that is possible.
B: Xtremity Maker through a table??? We might as well book Downfall a hospital room now. Do you think he wants a window room?
JR: Shut up and look, Brutus! What is Michelle doing? She seems to be handing Downfall a plank of some sort. Downfall makes his way to the corner and sets up the plank between the second and third ropes while Rage sets up the table in the middle of the ring. Rage then turns around and notices Downfall up, and goes to give him a few shots with the steel rods into Downfall’s back. Downfall flinches like he just got whipped Jesus style. Rage starts to climb the turnbuckle Downfall is against, but Downfall climbs it as well. Both men are on the top rope now, and exchange right hands. Something tells me this isn’t going to end very well...
B: Both men seem like they will collapse at any second. Downfall then remembers what he set up a few moments ago. He balances on the plank platform for a second, as he lifts Rage up on his shoulders, and in amazing show of strength, twists him around as he flies off the top rope, flipping him in midair to a Samoan drop position.
JR: Holy sh*t!!
B: Look out below!!
JR: Rage and Downfall crash through the table in the middle of the ring. The crowd starts a holy shit chant. Downfall and Rage are down and neither one is moving. The Twister! The Twister off the top rope, through a table! My god now we've seen everything!!
B: Downfall, limply crawling toward Rage, flops a weary arm over Rage's chest. Twisted gets down, as if to count the pin, but then he says "Fuck you asshole" and gives Downfall the finger.
JR: Jason Twisted refused to count!
B: Downfall slowly gets to his feet and comes face to face with Twisted, they badmouth each other, but Downfall doesn't notice behind him that Rage is slowly getting to his feet. Downfall and Twisted get in each other's faces, but Downfall backs down from him. And then Downfall turns around as Rage kicks him in the gut, lifts him up in a stalling suplex, and drops him with a high impact DDT.
JR: The End! Downfall was distracted by Jason Twisted, this is the End! Twisted jumps down for a quick count...
Twisted: onetwothree!!!
Ding Ding Ding!!
Mic: And the winner, and new IEW Anarchy Champion... RAAAAAAGE!!
(Rage slides out of the ring, laughing and holding the belt up high. Downfall struggles to his feet in front of Twisted, who is gloating and mocking Downfall, but Downfall slumps to the mat.)
B: Dammit! Downfall has been screwed!
JR: I know I had my money on Rage, but not this way! This is despicable!
(Matt Rison walks our from behind the curtain clapping. Rage and Matt exchange glares as the scene cuts back to Brutus and Jimmy.)
Jimmy: Well, looks like Matt Rison really has his eye on the Anarchy title.
Brutus: He’s got to watch out for Doctor Love too! He’s been making his case.
JR: Well, here we are the ladder match for the IEW Intercontinental champion or a contract for Thunder Cat’s mask to come off.
B: That’s right we are FINALLY going to see what thunder Cat looks like under that mask.
JR: You’re making that prediction awfully early. We still have an intense match to go through.
B: You’re just mad because I’m going to be right.
Mic: The following match is a ladder match for the IEW Intercontinental title and/or a contract that states that Thunder Cat MUST remove his mask if he loses. Entering first, from parts unknown, and weighing in at 335 lbs. He is MARCUS “CHAOS” MCLARKIN!
*The lights faintly dim into complete darkness as eerie chamber music plays, gray smokes emanates from everywhere video screen comes on with pictures of destruction and murder are seen pictures of war, fire and death as the images fade out into sinister laughing. The giant video screen lights up with a huge fireball rips through Earth, suddenly the lights brightly flash on "Better To Reign in Hell" by Cradle of Filth hits the speakers as a 6'10" man wearing white leather pants with a Red skull covering most of his left leg, on his right there’s a picture of a devils skull laughing with flowing red hair. On back of the pants near the tail bone there a picture of a skeleton of an Angel. Marcus walks to the ring, one scar on the left side of his face from his mid-fore head to down around his left ear, one from his right ear to his chin and various smaller scars litter his face, one across his nose and smaller about his forehead and chin and large deep scars over his body. Marcus walks to the ring deep in thought, he is wearing the IEW Intercontinental Championship around his waist, and he is surrounded with chants of “CHAOS! CHAOS! CHAOS!” He grabs a mic and then addresses the crowd after they quiet down.*
Marcus McLarkin: Finally the time has come Thunder Cat!
*Marcus removes the Championship and connects it around the cable that will hold it above the ring.*
Marcus McLarkin: I want you to bring it all to the ring and we will finally see who the true Intercontinental Champion really is now get down here and put the mask removal contract on the this cable and lets get this match started with!
*Marcus tosses the mic down as "Hunger" by Kick Axe hits.*
Mic: His opponent, the challenger, he hails from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He weighs in at 245 lbs. He is THUNDER CAT!
*When the music starts up, the pyro goes off (Goldberg's pyro). When the first verse starts up, the Thunder Cat explodes onto the ramp (like Mysterio). Walks down to the ring and jumps from floor to apron. Enters the ring (like Macho Man) and stands in the corner facing across the ring before going to the center where the cable is. Then Thunder Cat connects the contract onto the cable and its then moves into place about the ring.*
JR: Well, looks like Thunder Cat is actually going through with this match.
B: Of course. He did promise Jimmy.
DING! DING! DING!
*TC lunges at MM trying to knock him down. MM just shoves him off. TC then hits the mat. MM picks TC up and hits a Kickout DDT (Lita Style). MM then goes out of the ring and sets up a ladder. Then he slides another ladder into the ring, as well as a steel chair.*
JR: What a match so far. Thunder Cat’s been trying to fight back, but to no avail.
B: Yeah, but on the Brightside, we’ll get to see some weapon use.
*MM gets in the ring and TC is up. TC begins to try and beat down MM by hitting him repeatedly. MM drops the chair and TC hits a dropkick. MM starts reeling TC goes for another dropkick, but MM pushes TC to the side sending TC on his face. MM then goes for and grabs the chair. TC gets up and as MM raises the chair, TC drop kicks MM in the knee, which sends MM to one knee and MM drops the chair. TC grabs the chair and hits MM in the head which reels MM back, but he’s still up. TC then hits MM with the chair again and MM gets to the floor. TC then goes for the ladder*
JR: Thunder Cat is trying to set up that ladder. He’s trying to save his mask and win the title.
B: No! Marcus WON’T let that happen.
*MM then gets up as TC is setting up the ladder. MM grabs the chair and then hammers TC twice with the chair sending him and the ladder to the mat. MM then grabs the ladder and puts it on the set up ladder on the outside.*
JR: What is Marcus doing with the ladder like that?
B: I don’t know. But with Marcus as the aggressor, you never know.
*MM then grabs TC and executes a pulling piledriver. MM then picks TC up and puts him on the ladder then rolls TC over as far as he can. Then he slides out of the ring. MM continues to roll TC over to the side of the ladder that’s set on the outside ladder. MM then puts TC on the end and then goes under the ring.*
JR: What in the heck is Marcus doing putting Thunder Cat like that?
B: I don’t know. My question is what Marcus is going to hit Thunder Cat with next.
*MM pulls out a fluorescent light tube. TC starts to stir, but then MM smacks TC in the head. MM then straightens TC out then MM slides back into the ring.*
JR: Why did Marcus do all that for?
B: I think we’re about to find out.
*MM then gets up on the turnbuckle and stares at TC’s limp body. MM then gives an evil smirk, as he jumps off giving a huge leg drop to the end of the ladder sending the ladder up and TC flying into the ring where he hits the mat then rolls to the other side of the ring. MM is favoring his leg, and at the same time, gives an evil laugh.*
Crowd: HOLY [CRAP]! HOLY [CRAP]! HOLY [CRAP]!
JR: Oh my! I can hardly believe what I’ve just seen.
B: I know. Who knew that that would actually work?
JR: I don’t know. I think Marcus just decided to give it a whirl.
B: If so, he’s a freakin’ hardcore genius.
*MM then gets to his feet and grabs the ladder. MM sets it up. He starts to climb.*
JR: Marcus is going for the title and contract.
B: Yes!
*TC gets to one knee and sees MM. TC runs and drop kicks the ladder sending MM to the mat. TC then gets out of the ring. TC looks under and pulls out a barbwire wrapped baseball bat. TC slides into the ring. When MM gets up, TC swings and knocks MM out. TC then gets up and sets up the ladder again. MM gets up and grabs the baseball bat. MM is busted open in his head. MM then gives a huge swing and connects with TC. TC grabs his back and pain and then leaps to the mat. MM then gives another swing and pulls the bat, after it connects. TC gives a scream. TC’s bloody back is exposed.*
JR: Oh My! This is a VERY intense bloody match.
B: I know. Ain’t it great?
*MM picks up TC. MM then executes a stalling suplex. MM then drops TC across the ladder and still holds on. MM then drops TC front first across the top rope. TC then falls back down to the mat and grabs his gut.*
JR: Oh my goodness! Marcus is beating the heck out of Thunder Cat.
B: Marcus wants to add another mask to his collection.
*MM then sets up the ladder. TC comes from behind and when MM turns around TC gives MM a flying clothesline. MM stays up, but staggers a bit. TC then runs off another rope and dropkicks MM sending him down.*
JR: Man Thunder Cat is surer trying to keep his mask.
B: Of course, He’s made a career wearing it. The thing is that with Marcus going after it, it’s bound to come off.
*TC grabs the chair and goes after MM and hits him with it. He hits him again. Then TC drops the chair and goes for the ladder. MM gets up and runs after TC hitting him off the ladder. MM then picks him up and tosses him in the corner. MM and TC get in a fight in the corner. Then TC gets out of the corner and executes a Jackhammer.*
JR: The Wiccaning!
B: No!
*TC then goes for the ladder. TC then gets to half way before, MM gets up. MM goes up after TC. As TC grabs for the title, MM then stops him and hits him in the gut. The tow get into a fight on top of the ladder.*
JR: This match is very intense now. Who knows what’s going to happen.
B: I don’t know, but I do know that Thunder Cat will be on the receiving end.
*Then when TC is hunched over, MM hits a Jumping Sit-down Powerbomb.*
JR: Marcus just hit The Snap! This has got to be one of the best matches tonight.
B: I’d say that this IS the best match tonight.
*After a few moments, both men stir. MM then whips TC into the corner. Then MM gores TC into the corner. Then MM grabs the ladder.*
JR: This is turning out to be a classic bout. What is Marcus going to do with that ladder because it doesn’t look like he’s going to set it up?
B: I don’t know, but we’re about to find out Jimmy.
*When TC gets up, MM runs and slams the ladder into the gut of TC like a battering ram with the legs pointing towards TC so when the ladder connects with TC it will be the bottom rung. MM then steps aside with the ladder in hand. TC then hits the ground.*
JR: What a beating this has been.
B: You’re saying that like it’s a bad thing.
*TC gets up and MM starts spinning with ladder in hands. TC gets upside the head and MM drops the ladder.
JR: It looks like Marcus is dizzy. He shouldn’t have done that to Thunder Cat.
B: Come ON Jimmy. There are NO rules in this match.
JR: That doesn’t mean that it isn’t brutal.
B: WHATEVER Jimmy.
*MM then sets up the chair and sits down. He begins to tie his boots which have become untied in the tornado with the ladder. TC then gets up and grabs the ladder and sets it up.*
JR: Thunder Cat is going for the win while Marcus has his back turned.
B: Marcus is too smart to let that happen.
*MM looks behind him and sees TC on the ladder. MM turns the chair, while he gets up. It stays upright and opened. TC gets to the fourth rung, as does Marcus. The two get into a fist fight. MM then knees TC several times. Then MM places his knee over the back of TC head and pushes down while jumping off the ladder drilling TC head into the chair that’s open. TC then spits out blood. And the ladder falls.*
JR: What a display of brutality by Marcus!
B: I know. It’s great isn’t it?
*Both men are down. MM favors his leg, as it is the same one that hit the leg drop onto the ladder. Both men start to get up. MM grabs the chair and TC grabs the bat. MM runs at TC, but then TC hits MM in the gut with the baseball bat. MM’s gut can be seen beginning to bleed. TC then begins to stomp on MM. Then MM grabs the chair and hits MM again, but this time in the head. TC then grabs the ladder and sets it up.*
JR: It looks like Thunder Cat thinks he put Marcus away good enough.
B: No! Come on Marcus. Get up!
*TC starts climbing slowly. After TC gets close to the top (11th rung, 15 in all), Marcus climbs up after TC. As TC goes for the title, MM slams TC’s head into the top of the ladder then slams his head into a rung of the ladder trapping it between the steps of the ladder. MM grabs for the belt. When he grabs on, he kicks the ladder out. The ladder falls backwards, but TC's head is still in the rung. The ladder hits the rope trapping TC's head in the rung and then Marcus pulls off the belt and contract. Then MM falls to the ground.*
DING! DING! DING!
Mic: The winner of the match and STILL IEW Intercontinental Champion. MARCUS “CHAOS” MCLARKIN!
JR: I can’t believe what a hellacious match this has been. Marcus retained the title in what was a brutal match.
B: I know. I KNEW Chaos was going to win. I’m SO happy.
JR: The sad thing is now we have to see Thunder Cat take off his mask.
B: No it isn’t. It’s a memorable moment for all to witness.
*A hush falls over the crowd, as Chaos gets a mic and then waits for the Cat to get to his feet.*
Chaos: Come on! I beat your ass silly! The belt is mine, now hand over your mask, punk! I want a camera to zoom into this... I wanna see it!
*The Cat starts to undo the laces securing the mask and just when it looks like he's going to pull it off, the lights go off! Darkness surrounds the arena. Suddenly music is heard... namely "How Soon Is Now" by Love Spit Love. The titantron keeps flashing a symbol, in the same rhythm as a heartbeat. The lights come up again, and standing in the ring, wearing black robes, and carrying a big book with the same symbol on the cover, is none other than Phoenix Halliwell!*
B: My god! My god! The man was dead! We saw him die in the hospital so many months ago!
JR: This can't be happening to the IEW, can it? This is unreal! Phoenix Halliwell has returned to the IEW!!! After this, it is hard to see what will top what has happened during this match.
B: Luckily, we have a chance to see if it happens. But I do agree that this match will be hard to follow up.
The Mic: This next match will be for the IEW Tag Team Championships and introducing first is the challengers they our Lion and Gorilla…..BEASTLY SQUAD!!!!
*The arena goes dark as "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses is played over the PA system. As soon as the arena goes dark, all four turnbuckles show a solitary flame. On the titantron, on quartered screens, clips of a lion, a crocodile, and King Kong can be seen then it switches to Lion's, Croc's, and Gorilla's individual finishing and signature moves, as well as tag moves. At the same time, flames, one on each side of the entrance ramp, light the way as if creating a path. When the beginning words of the first verse begins, all the flames go up creating a walled path of flames, and The Beastly Squad (Lion and Gorilla) walks out into the open. The flames go low. Lion and Gorilla stand with arms folded. After a few seconds both men lift their hands. As soon as that happens, the flamed path, once again, flames up. After Lion and Gorilla walk to the ring, Lion and Gorilla then climb up on the apron directly across from the entrance ramp. Gorilla shakes the rope violently (Ultimate Warrior). Lion and Gorilla enter the ring with one leg over the top rope at a time As Lion does his singles roaring type of thing, Gorilla does his Rhyno type chest pound, and then yellow and red explosions of pyro and red flames (for turnbuckles only), as well as pure white flames on the entrance ramp and turnbuckles (shared with red flames) erupt throughout the arena. Gorilla is leaning against the turnbuckle, as Lion paces back and forth.*
The Mic: Now Introducing next to the ring they our the IEW Tag Team Champions Magnum and Dream Man….the DREAM TEAM!!!!
(The arena goes black as "Kashmir" by Led Zepplin starts up. Fog starts to come out of the entranceway and silver lights light up the entrance as Magnum and Dream Man makes there way out from behind the curtain. They walk slowly and calmly down to the ring. They gets to the ring and stands there staring at there opponent's. After a few seconds, Magnum steps onto the ring, grabs the top rope, puts his right leg on the apron and steps up and over the top rope as Dream Man slides into the ring and jumps onto the turnbuckle, he wears the belt around his waist. Magnum climbs the turnbuckle and raises the title in the air. They both steps back and walk to the corner.)
BB- Finally we see the match up of the two must talked about teams in the IEW!
JR- and don’t forget to mention both these teams have had IEW Tag Team gold twice.
BB- That’s right Jimmy…Beastly Squad is looking for there third reign here tonight as Dream Team is looking to retain there second.
Ding!! Ding!!
* Lions looks up in the center of the ring with Dream Man, Lion forces him into the ropes and blats him with several chops, the echo can be heard through the arena. Lion backs off of Dream Man who moves from the ropes holding his chest, he falls down to his knees. Dream Man comes him dead in the chest, Lion tags in Gorilla. Dream Man a bit shocked and scared of the mans size tries for a close line’s to take down the big man but fails, he takes to the ropes and tries for another, he knocks himself down in the process.*
BB- That must be like hitting a brick wall!
JR- That just happens to be the largest man I have ever seen!
BB- Do you need to tell us something Jimmy…You sick freak!
*Dream Man tries for another but Gorilla lifts Dream Man up for a very high flap jack. Dream Man lays on the mat holding his ribs. The massive Gorilla dead lifts Dream Man off the mat and benches him a few times before dropping him across his knee from nearly 8 feet in the air. Dream Man screams out in pain, Gorilla walks across Dream Mans legs and tags in Lion.*
BB- I have yet to see some decimate Dream Man like that!
JR- Who in the IEW can compare to his strength!
* Lion enters the ring in a fury all his aggression aimed towards Dream Man. They meet up again this time Dream Man fires back with swift stiff right hands and gets his hands around Lion’s mask as he tries to pull it off, Gorilla makes his way into the ring tossing aside Magnum who has also entered Gorilla pulls Dream Man away hitting him with multiple sumo palm trust attacks and a massive head butt. Dream Man is laying out in the ring with his eyes glazed over. Tina Garcia is able to remove Gorilla and Magnum from the ring as Lion closes in on Dream Man who is slowly getting back up.*
BB- He is stalking Dream Man!
JR- Is it over here folks!
* Dream Man stumbles right into a full nelson looking hold, Lion starts hitting the “Lions Fury” and he hit’s the first suplex but on the second. Dream Man locks Lion in by the head and hit’s a spinning DDT. Both men stir around the ring but men are slow to get up but both eventually get the tags in with Dream Man getting to Magnum first. Magnum comes in at full steam and starts clearing house first by taking out Gorilla who has one leg in the ring, he gets knocked to the floor. Magnum tosses out Lion, Gorilla is coming back into the ring. Magnum kicks him in the face dropping him across the top rope.*
BB- Our Tag Team Champ Magnum is turning up the heat and bringing it to the former Champs!
JR- I can see the fire in his eyes tonight!
* Magnum attacks Gorilla who is on the ring apron trying to knock him off once again with stiff punches. Gorilla grabs Magnum and throws him towards the turnbuckle and splash’s him, Magnum stumbles from the corner and right into a big boot. Gorilla tags in Lion coming in off the ropes hitting a modified frog splash and taking the pin. Tina Garcia goes down for the count*
Tina Garcia
One…….
Two…….
Thre (Magnum powers out)
* Both men are back up giving each other slaps and chops across the chest. Lion quickly wins this turning into a fury of punches forcing Magnum into the corner trying to protect himself. Lion has a crazed look in his eye, he begins pounding the wound on Magnums head from the previous week*
BB- Lion has just busted open Magnum!
JR- What a battle!
* Magnum’s blood is running into his eyes. Lion locks Magnum into a Dragon Sleeper and tags in Gorilla who then takes control of Magnum tossing him around like a rag doll. Magnum finally gets a bit of control and tries to battle the giant Gorilla back with several punches that go nearly unaffected Dream Man is in the ring but quickly gets caught around the throat as does Magnum and they are both lifted for a choke slam, they both counter by locking in arm submission they are both wrapped around Gorilla arm and upper body. Gorilla falls to his knees looking like he is ready to tap.*
BB- Have they finally found away to take down this giant ape!
JR- This is crazy!
* Gorilla is able to fight off the pain and shake and dump Dream Man out of the ring. Lion tags himself in and takes to the turnbuckle. Gorilla is able to fight off Magnum and place him on the turnbuckle with Lion and he hit’s the “Sinking the Teeth In” and he quickly covers in a tight pin*
Tina Garcia!
One……..
Two…….
* Dream Man makes the save breaking a pin with a kick to Lions head. Gorilla comes in and Dream Man and Gorilla are slugging it out. They both go outside the ring while Lion continues to put the hurt on Magnum hitting a 10 count knee attack in the corner. Gorilla and Dream Man are going at it on the outside when Gorilla press Slams Dream Man onto the announce table, breaking the table. Gorilla kills some time and yells some words to Lion inside the ring. Dream Man slowly starts to make his way up while Tanya is trying to help. Gorilla sees her and grabs her as she attempts to run. Now they are around the corner from Dream Man who is pretty much back on his feet.
BB- Gorilla is dominating everyone!
JR- He is the defiantly THE ANIMAL
BB- Whoa Who! watch what your saying Jimmy, you want this company to close after we get sued!
*Gorilla has Tanya by the hair and signals for the Gorilla press. Gorilla, still holding her hair turns his body towards Dream Man who is at this point running towards the ring steps that is right next to Gorilla, Dream Man jumps onto the second step and when he steps down, he kicks his right leg up and nails a Super kick into Gorilla’s jaw who falls to the ground. The crowd is cheering in disbelief that Dream Man found a way to get the big man down. Now at this point, Dream Man is slowly getting onto the ring apron. Inside the ring, Lion has Magnum down and signals for the end. He Irish whips Magnum into the corner, he charges after him but Magnum gets the boot up and when that happens Dream Man jumps up onto the turnbuckle behind Magnum as Magnum doubles Lion over with a kick to the gut, gets him up and picks him up and Dream Man jumps off and they hit the “Last Wake Up Call” on Lion. The crowd is chanting "Holy Shit" As Magnum push’s Lions legs into his chest locking in a tight pin. Dream Man lays his weight on Magnum for added pressure!
Tina Garcia!

The Mic: Winners of this match by pinfall and still IEW Tag Team Champions…… Dream Team!!!
BB- The champs have done it!
JR- What a great match up….these two teams gave it there all!
*Dream Man and the bloody Magnum are handed the Tag Team Titles by Tanya who has jumped into the ring and she stands in between the two and raises their hands they celebrate as they finish. Magnum walks over to the fallen Lion who is still on his back and extends his hand to help him up.*
BB- What’s going on here…
JR- Is it a sign of respect…. can it be?
*Lion accepts and after Magnum pulls him up, they shake hands and show their respects to one another. Gorilla comes in at this point and does the same and then they all stand hands together and raise their arms. Lion and Gorilla leave while Magnum, Dream Man and Tanya celebrate. Lion and Gorilla exit through the crowd. Back stage Hugh is getting warmed up. He is in full wrestling attire with the IEW Championship on his waist. He is jumping up and down, getting a sweat worked up. Karl Weiss comes into view with a mic. Hugh continues to get warmed up. )
Karl- IEW fans here I am with the Champion, to get his last minute thoughts toward his IEW title defense against Crocodile. Hugh?
Hugh- Karl, can't you see I am warming up.
Karl- Cant you spare a moment for the fans.
Hugh- I spare plenty of moments every week on my Fire Side Chat.
Karl- Hugh?!
Hugh- Karl you want my thoughts. My thoughts are this match is a damn joke. Croc isn't in my league. He hasn't ever even won an IEW championship. The only reason I am warming up is so I dont go out there and get my self injured from my muscles being cold.
Karl- Are you worried at all? Has the thought of losing come to mind.
Hugh- Karl the thought of losing hasn't come to mind since for eight long matches. Eight long victories. I have broken my own record for an undefeated streak. This through Mackie, Thunder Cat, Dark Dragon, Rage, Johnny Contour. Each of them have more to bring to the table then Croc does. So I am not going to waste my time. Tonight Karl, I am going out there to take out Croc. To throw him back down the ranks, like a game of shoots and ladders. I am the shoot, Karl. I am going to send him to where he belongs. I am going into that ring, I am going to take care of business. And then I am going to be done. There is no need for this to go any further ... period!
( Hugh walks off with the IEW title strapped firmly to his waist. )
Jimmy: The wait is over! Here we go!
Mic: The following is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the IEW World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, from parts unknown, he weighs in at 233 pounds., he is the World Heavyweight Champion... HUGH.. BRIIIIIISTIIIIIC!!!
(Hugh comes out to "Pomp & Circumstance" (the graduation song), quickly running out to the stage and motioning to the crowd to cheer for him. He makes a walk down the aisle, with an air of pure confidence, nodding his head at people in the crowd. He slides into the ring where he taunts the crowd some more)
JR: Hugh looks focused and ready to go, and it's a good thing too, because he's up against his toughest challenge yet, Crocodile of the Beastly Squad.
Mic: Annnd the challenger... he weighs in at 230 pounds... CROCODIIIIIIIILEEE!!!
(The lights dim and a green fog covers the arena as "Welcome to the Jungle" plays in the background. Crocodile enters the arena just as the music starts rocking, accompanied by a few strobe light flashes, as in a strike of lightning. He wears green and black face paint along with a crocodile-head-shaped headdress with a scaly cape attached. Crocodile walks calmly to the ring with determination in his eyes. As Crocodile enters the ring, he shows off his agility by crouching on the top rope and somersaulting into the ring. Then Croc stands in the middle of the ring and lifts up his hands as green flames slowly protrude out of the four turnbuckles. Then, Crocodile throws his hands to his side, and the flames suddenly extinguish as the music stops and the lights turn back on. Then Crocodile takes off his headdress/cape, ready for the match.)
DING DING DING
Brutus: How does Croc expect to beat Hugh, he couldn't even beat Downfall?
JR: "Couldn't even beat Downfall"... you know Downfall's going to kick your ass when he hears that.
(Both men lock up in a test of strength. Croc starts to get the better of Hugh, but Hugh cuts him off with a kick to the midsection.)
JR: What an dirty trick by Hugh.
(Hugh runs at Croc for a clothesline, Croc gives him an armdrag and tosses him halfway across the ring. Hugh looks to the crowd with a "WTF" stare, then gets to his feet. He holds out his hands as if for another test of strength. Both men lock up, in a collar/elbow tieup in the center of the ring. Croc gains the upper hand, pushing Hugh to the ropes. Croc pushes Hugh into the corner and the ref, Tina Garcia tells him to break it up. Croc breaks immediately and backs off, but then Hugh slaps him hard in the face.)
JR: The champ with a show of disrespect!
Brutus: What is there to respect, it's Croc for God's sake.
(Croc chuckles, wipes his mouth to check for blood, and calls for another tieup. Both men lock up again, this time Croc twists Hugh's arm into a hammerlock. Hugh fights out of it with elbows to the side of the head, following it up with a snapmare to take Croc to the mat. With Croc down he clamps on a side headlock.)
Brutus: Smart by Hugh to keep Croc off his feet.
JR: How much did he pay you this time?
(Croc refuses to give up, instead tries to fight back to his feet. Hugh sweeps him back down with a headlock takedown, keeping the side headlock applied tight. Croc slaps the mat in frustration, but continues to struggle to get to his feet. He crawls on his elbows, until he's within an inch or two from the ropes, and snatches the bottom rope. Tina makes Hugh break the hold, which he does. As Croc gets to his feet, Hugh sweeps his legs from under him and Croc hits the middle rope throat first.)
JR: Bristic is really dictating the pace in this match so far.
(With Croc hanging between the top and middle ropes, Hugh grabs his head and hauls back, using the ropes in a modified camel clutch submission. He stretches Croc's head back. Tina tells him to break it up, starting a 5-count to disqualification and Hugh breaks the hold on 3. Then, with Croc still in the same position, he lays into Croc with mounted crossface punches. Tina again tells him to break it up, and he backs off as she gives him a stern warning.)
JR: Hugh had better watch it, he doesn't want to get disqualified here.
Brutus: How do we know what he does or doesn't want?
(Croc climbs fully back in the ring, but Hugh cuts him off with stiff kick to the midsection. He lays into Croc with elbows to the head. Croc fights back with mounted punches to the face. Hugh appears dazed, and Croc runs off the ropes, but Hugh cuts him off with a knee lift which doubles Croc over. Hugh lifts Croc, and drops him with a powerslam. He covers, hooking the leg.)
Brutus: Bristic's looking to win it early...
1...
2.. No
JR: Too early, he should've known Croc wouldn't go down that easily.
Brutus: Unfortunately.
(Hugh kicks Croc in the head while he's down, then bends over to lift him, giving him some slaps to the head for good measure. He tries to lift Croc to his feet, but Croc drops him with a surprise jawbreaker. Hugh gets up, into a clothesline from Croc. He gets up again, but this time is taken down by an armdrag, which Croc works into a painful armbar submission.)
JR: Croc is making a comeback! Hugh's in trouble!!
(Tina asks Hugh if he gives up. Hugh screams "Hell no". Croc cinches the armbar in tighter, and Hugh gives a yell in pain. He reaches over with his free hand, and rakes Croc's face, hard. Croc lets go of the hold. Both men get to their feet, Hugh runs at Croc, only to be dropped by a quick spinning heel kick. Croc goes right to work on the fallen Hugh, applies a front facelock to Hugh, Tina asks if he gives up, but again Hugh won't quit. Hugh fights back with hard shots to the midsection. Croc keeps the hold on tight. Hugh gets to his feet, with Croc holding the headlock on, grabs Croc's waist and throws him over his head, in a version of a Northern lights suplex except without the pin. Croc holds his back in pain.)
Brutus: Nice move by the champ.
JR: Yeah, but he's not out of trouble yet. Croc is very resilient.
(Both men make it to their feet. They exchange punches for a second, Hugh starts to get the better of Croc, then Croc starts with a clothesline, hooks his arm around Hugh's throat and sweeps him down with a version of an STO, driving Hugh's head into the mat, hard. Croc rolls over him, hooking the leg.)
1...
2... No.
Brutus: No way, that's not going to be enough to take out Hugh.
(Croc goes to Hugh's legs, looking for a texas cloverleaf, however Hugh struggles, making it to the ropes. Hugh holds on to the ropes, Croc holds on to Hugh's legs, and lifts him by his legs up in the air, dropping him on his back. Then he pulls Hugh to the center of the ring, and applies a texas cloverleaf. Hugh screams in pain, and struggles to escape the hold.)
JR: The submission is applied! Will Hugh tap?!
(Here the crowd is starting a little "tap tap tap tap tap" chant)
Brutus: Don't tap Don't tap Don't tap Don't tap!!!
(Hugh struggles to reach the ropes, but they're in the center of the ring. Hugh reaches back, grabs Croc's foot, and yanks as hard as he can, pulling Croc off-balance. Croc's head hits the mat, and both men lay there for a second, regaining their composure. Croc is the first to his feet. He runs off the ropes and drops a knee across Hugh's throat.)
JR: Croc is back on the offensive!
(Hugh tries to roll out of the ring. Croc grabs him by the hair and yanks him back up onto the apron. Hugh counters by dropping down with a modified stunner, hanging Croc up neck first on the top rope.)
Brutus: You were saying?
(Croc gets to his feet, but Hugh is ready for him as he drills Croc with a textbook standing dropkick. He goes for a side headlock on Croc, Croc pushes him off and to the ropes, Hugh comes off with a flipping neckbreaker. Croc is down and Hugh pins him. tina counts the pin)
1...
2... No Croc gets the shoulder up.
(Hugh curses to himself, and sits there a moment catching his breath. Then he gets to his feet, as Croc comes running at him, he drops Croc with a hard spinebuster. He goes for another cover, with his elbow ground into Croc's face.)
1...
2...
3 No Croc just gets the shoulder up.
JR: Croc with an amazing show of endurance.
(Hugh slaps the mat in frustration. He lifts Croc to his feet, and whips him to the ropes. He's looking for a clothesline, but Croc ducks it. Croc comes off the ropes again, but Hugh wraps him up in a sleeper hold. He's got it cinched in tight, Croc tries to struggle out of it, but Hugh keeps him in the center of the ring. Croc starts to fade, as Hugh chuckles confidently. Tina holds his hand up, and it drops limply. Once... twice...)
Brutus: He's out! I've never seen anybody knocked out by a sleeper hold, but hey, anything can happen and so forth...
(On the third time, Croc's hand stays in the air as the crowd cheers him on. Hugh looks as if he can't believe it. Croc tries to fight out of the sleeper, pounding Hugh in the back to make him let go. However, Hugh cuts Croc off with a quick Russian legsweep.)
JR: Croc has taken a beating in this match but he won't quit coming!
Brutus: I want you to think about how unbelievably gay that just sounded.
(Hugh wraps his arms around Croc, and picks him up for an overhead snap belly to belly suplex. He lays a few elbows across the chest of the fallen Croc, then goes for a pin. Tina counts one, then Hugh laughs, and breaks the pin. He climbs up to the top rope, and waits for Croc to get to his feet.)
Brutus: Now there's the cocky Bristic we all know and love!
(Hugh flies off with a flip body attack from the top rope, taking Croc down)
Brutus: There it is, the Muken!!
JR: What does that even mean?
Brutus: Uhhh, y'know, I'm not really sure.
(Hugh covers, hooking the leg.)

(Tina comes in to count the pin...)

(Croc begs Tina to tell him it was 3, but Tina assures him it was only a 2-count. Croc gets to his feet, and goes over to the turnbuckle himself. He slaps the top turnbuckle, calling for a high flying move of his own.)
JR: Could we see the 450?
Brutus: Who cares?
(Croc goes up for the 450 splash, while Hugh is on his back. Croc prepares to jump, holding onto the ropes. Croc jumps a little, but just lands feet first on the mat while still holding onto the ropes. Hugh rolls out of the way of the supposed 450 splash and gets up to taunt to the crowd. When Hugh turns around, Croc quickly puts Hugh between his legs, lifts him up and drops him with a Gory Bomb.)
JR: Croc Drop! He hit the Croc Drop! Croc actually outsmarted Hugh!
Brutus: Hugh knew it the whole t-time. H-He’ll think of s-something.

(Hugh and Croc get to their feet, and Croc goes for a clothesline. Hugh ducks, and lays into Croc with a Dusty Rhodes-style bionic elbow. They exchange punches for a minute, then Hugh cuts Croc off with a knee to the gut, then grabs his arms and lifts him up, tossing him with a double underhook suplex. Croc gets to his feet and runs at Hugh again, but Hugh uses his momentum against him, grabbing him and dropping him with a running sidewalk slam.)
JR: Croc can't afford to get frustrated here. Hugh is a dangerous opponent.
(Croc gets to his feet, and Hugh whips him to the ropes, as Croc comes running back Hugh hits a snap belly to belly which he swings over his shoulders and then dumps him.)
JR: The Hot Shot! This could be it!
(Hugh covers, not bothering to hook the leg. Tina counts the pin.)

2...
3... NO Croc barely kicks out.
JR: He kicked out of the Hot Shot!
Brutus: Bah, if Hugh had hooked the leg it would've been over.
(Hugh screams "COME ON!!!" and complains to Tina about a slow count. Tina ssures him it was only a 2-count, but he slaps his hands together to show her how to count. Behind him, Croc is getting to his feet. Hugh waves Tina off, and turns around, but Croc kicks him in the stomach, and grabs Hugh's arms, jumps, and gives Hugh a 360 twirl in the air, landing with his face on the mat)
Brutus: No, Hugh, don't argue with her, pay attention!
JR: Crocodile Death Roll! The Death Roll to the champion!!
(Croc pins Hugh, hooking the leg.)

(Croc measures Hugh (like Matt Hardy for the Twist of Fate), waiting for him to get up, and as Hugh gets slowly to his feet, staggers around, he turns around and Croc grabs his arms again and gives him another 360 spin Death Roll)
JR: And another Death Roll! This could be the end of Bristic's reign as World Champ!
(Croc covers again, this time a bit more forcefully. Tina counts...)
1...
2...
3 NO Hugh gets his foot on the ropes.
(The crowd gives a little sigh. Croc can't believe it.)
JR: Croc has come so close to beating Hugh.
Brutus: "Close" just isn't good enough. Not when you're dealing with Hugh freakin' Bristic.
(Croc gets to his feet, and is waiting for Hugh to get to his feet, when suddenly Chaos comes out of nowhere and drops him with a stiff clothesline)
JR: I think Croc's going for an unprecedented third Death Roll, but -- HEY!! What is Chaos doing here?!
Brutus: Respect between Champions, baby! He's helping out his fellow champ, Hugh!
(Tina calls for the bell, as Chaos locks in the full-nelson submission to Croc. He doesn't have it in that tight, but still Croc can't escape. Hugh slaps him hard across the face.)
JR: Dammit, not this way!!
Mic: And the winner as a result of a disqualification, CROCOOOODIIIILLLE...!!!
(Chaos throws Croc down and he and Hugh taunt the fallen Croc, stomping him and laughing at him, when all of a sudden, Lion and Gorilla come running out.)
JR: Here comes Croc's teammates, Beastly Squad.
(As soon as Lion gets in the ring Chaos nails him with a huge spear. Chaos then tosses the fallen Lion out of the ring. Behind him, Gorilla is advancing on Hugh, Chaos comes behind him and nails a huge low blow to Gorilla. Hugh and Chaos laugh, as Chaos lifts Gorilla up, and drops him with a jumping sitdown powerbomb.)
JR: The Snap! The Snap to Gorilla! Chaos and Hugh Bristic have just destroyed the Beastly Squad. Dammit, why?!
Brutus: I told you, it's the respect between Champions. Nothing can stop these guys, they're the most dominant force in the IEW today.
JR: I can assure you, Beastly Squad have something to say about that. This is far from over between these guys.
