Eric Hardy: Hello fans and welcome to the first edition of Colision after the epic event that was Mind Games. A night that saw the show essentially stolen by Spike Kane. First off, we saw Spike defeat Jack Manson for the National Title in what was a fantastic match. Later on in the evening we saw Spike and the rest of The Empire take out Davey Ortega making Lance Ryan seem like a prophet. Who knew that we would see No Warning Shots and The Empire work together to take out Davey Ortega.
Kelly Fox: Certainly not me, Mind Games was a hard night for me to get through. I am not sure where I stand in the scheme of things anymore.
Eric Hardy: There were indeed changes, The Empire, now led by Spike Kane, consists of himself, his brother Christian Kane, The Ace and John Anthony. Aside from those changes, we also have new tag team champions in The Punisher and Adam Knite.
Kelly Fox: Yes, that was one of the easier moments of the night for me to get through.
Eric Hardy: I see. Well, let's get onto tonight, what a show we have planned for you. First of all we have the next two matches in the X-Division Title Tournament, after that, we will be down to the final four in this tournament. We also have a huge six man tag match, that has the tag team champions, and the Xtreme Champion involved. We also have No Warning Shots and The Empire going back to war with Jack Manson taking on the Ace and of course Lance taking on John Anthony, and our main event of the evening will be Spike Kane taking on Johnny Craven for the National Title.
Kelly Fox: Ah yes, Spike...
Eric Hardy: One thing though is in fact guaranteed here tonight and that is that anything...
{Eric is interrupted by the sound of a clock slowly ticking and getting louder. the large video screen shows a red cross-hair circling around the black screen before it centers itself in the middle and a gun shot is heard. Evil (A chorus of resistance) by Project 86 begins to play loudly over the PA system, sending the fans into a chorus of cheers. The heavy guitar riff ripples around the audience and the arena. The lights dim down to a blood red color. Three shadows emerge on the entrance ramp in the darkness.}
{As the song builds up the men slowly walk to the top of the ramp. The chorus hits and fireworks on each side of the ramp shoot up in the air. Two strobes, one red and one black bounce about to the rythm of the music as the team consisting of Lance Ryan, Jack Manson and Reckless Jack begin walking down side by side.}
{They get so far down and Lance Ryan runs off from the other two and slides under the bottom rope of the ring, he lies in the middle of the ring with the World Title laying in front of him as he stares at it, and then rises up and holds the World Title up for all to see as the other two members join him, Manson via the steps and RJ stepping between the ropes as well. All three men hold up their arms to the crowd who cheer loudly. The lights slowly return as the music dims down.}
Eric Hardy: Can happen...
{Lance grabs a microphone and stares out into the crowd who are still giving NWS a standing ovation.}
Lance Ryan: Well, what a week eh? I mean, yes, Jack lost the National Title to Spike, but what a match that was. That title will return in no time to NWS, I have faith. Jack after all does indeed have a rematch clause. RJ is involved in, and will no doubt with the X Division Title Tournament, and look at this title...it is still over my shoulder. There is no stopping us, we are attaining all of our goals, and doing exactly what we said we would do, and that is stopping The Empire around every corner. Sure, they helped get rid of Davey Ortega, but come on, that was all a ploy as well, we got rid of the leader, the number one contender...it never gets better than that.
Tonight, the dominance of NWS continues as I take on their weakest link, John Anthony. I predict that by the end of the night, The Empire will be short another wrestler, as I will send John straight to the hospital.
{Lance hands the microphone to Jack Manson.}
Jack Manson: And Spike...keep that title warm, I have plans to be bringing that belt home in the near future. Sunday was a fluke, anyone can be the better man once in a while, but I know that over a series of matches, I will always be better than you. Tonight, Johnny Craven doesn't stand a chance alone, but maybe he will see the light, and understand the benefits of having no warning before the shots are fired...
{Manson hands the mic. over to Reckless Jack next and the fans start chanting for RJ.}
Reckless Jack: I have been saying for weeks now that we need an X Division here in nCw. It seems that someone was listening. Well, now that there is a title that I want in this company, you can assure yourself of one thing...it WILL be mine. There is more gold coming to NWS and Seth Drabble will only be the beginning tonight. Seth, I could care less about your family, Davey Boone was an asshole...all that I care about is that X Division Title, and believe me it will not be won by someone related to a Boone.
Lance Ryan: Tonight is the beginning of a new month, and the continuation of the NWS era here in nCw.
{Lance drops the mic. and No Warning Shots leaves the ring to cheers. The scene changes to backstage where we see The Empire watching the earlier comments on a monitor. Spike is standing with the National Title over his shoulder, and he is surrounded by The Ace and Christian Kane. John Anthony walks into the scene and slaps Spike Kane on the back.}
John Anthony: I am going to shut him up tonight. All I heard this week is how I am not in his league, I have a lot to prove tonight, and I will do so by pulling off what many will call an upset. Spike, you can count on me to take No Warning Shots down a notch when I take on Lance tonight.
{Spike, Christian and The Ace just stare after John as he heads out of the locker-room.}
The Ace: You know, I don't mean to talk trash to Anthony, but I think that I have a better chance at taking out Manson than he does in taking out Lance...it's a little lopsided.
Spike Kane: Don't worry, Lance will get what he has coming to him sooner than later.
{{Commercial Break}}
Eric Hardy: Well after that it's time we get to our first match where the action has already started.
Kelly Fox: Both of these men are two of the X-Divisions rising stars, but Christian is a member of the Empire so naturally he's going to win.
{{During the Commercial break and the first segment of the night both Danny Vice and Christian Kane have already made it to the ring. And the match we are in the middle of the match where Christian Kane and Danny Vice are locked up in the middle of the ring. Vice takes the advantage with an European uppercut that knocks Christian Kane back a couple of steps. Vice immediately follows through with a clothesline that rocks Kane back down to the mat. Vice then Immediately climbs to the top rop.}
Kelly Fox: Watch Vice Christian! He's looking to end this thing early!
{Danny Vice comes off as soon as Kane stands up looking for a corkscrew poncha but Christian Kane side steps, as soon as Vice is up and facing him Kane kicks him in the stomach and hits the SystemShock flipping piledriver! Kane covers 1…2….3! Winner: Christian Kane!
Eric Hardy: He's done it, Christian Kane has advanced in the X-Division title tournament!
Kelly Fox: I knew it all along.
{{Commercial Break}}
Eric Fox: Alright Kelly, this next match is another in he X Division Title Tournament, and of course it does involve NWS' own Reckless Jack taking on Seth Drabble.
Kelly Fox: I was never a Davey Boone fan, and I can't say that I am huge on this Drabble kid, but I sure hope he takes RJ out of this tournament tonight. The last thing that I need to hear is something else for No Warning Shots to brag about.
Eric Hardy: I thought that you didn't know where you stood in this war?
Kelly Fox: Well, one thing I know for sure is that I hate Lance Ryan and his band of goonies.
Eric Hardy: Let's get down to ringside.
{"Ten Ton Brick" by Hurt begins to play over the PA system as the crowd is jacked up to the very exciting and youthful Seth Drabble slinging the curtain and stepping through it and leaping up on top of the stage and holding up his arms in the air! He drops to a knee and lowers his head as pyro explosions are heard all over the arena like a machine gun going off! Seth stands up and throws a fist up in the air as one last loud explosion is heard echoing throughout the arena! He stands at the end of the ramp hopping back on forth looking very focused as always. Then Chuck Watson is seen coming through the curtain to a mixed reaction as he's wearing a nice suit. Chuck follows closely behind Seth Drabble watching his back closely as Boone wished. Seth jumps upon the apron and then flips into the ring! The music fades.}
{The lights go out as Alkaline Trio's "Burn" begins to play throughout the arena. Right when the first verse kicks in, red strobe lights start to flash all over the arena as the crowd starts to take pictures. Once the chorus begins, the strobe lights die off and the lights come back on. There we see Reckless Jack standing in the middle of the entry way looking at the crowd. They cheer at the sight of the self proclaimed "Self Revolution." Jack throws his arms inward and yells before he runs down the ring, slapping as many hands as he can. The crowd roars as he slides into the ring and goes to the nearest turnbuckle. Reckless Jack goes to the second buckle and takes off whatever band hoodie he has on and throws it into the crowd for some lucky fan to keep as their own. He jumps off and goes to the opposite turnbuckle and throws his arms inward again. Jack jumps off and paces around the ring as his music dies off, waiting for his match to begin.}
{The two men circle one another as the referee calls for the bell.}
Eric Fox: This match shows what the X Division is all about. No weight classes, no requirements, just wrestlers who want to fight for their titles and steal the show.
{The two men lock up in the middle of the ring and start jockying for position. Seth gets the upper hand and grabs a headlock on RJ. He backs RJ into the ropes, but RJ pushes him off to the far side, as Seth is coming back RJ takes flight with a leapfrog, Seth again comes off the far side and RJ hits a spinning wheel kick, taking Seth down hard to the mat. Both men are back to their feet quickly, and RJ hits a dropkick to the midsection of Seth. RJ grabs ahold of Seth and goes for belly to belly suplex, that is blocked by Seth, and he hits RJ with a belly to back suplex of his own. RJ takes a hard impact and is a little slower to his feet. Seth helps RJ to his feet and then plants him with a DDT. Seth then grabs the leg of RJ and locks in a half crab.}
Kelly Fox: Perfect, he is already setting RJ up for the sharpshooter. He has RJ grounded, it doesn't get any better than this.
{Reckless Jack, realizing that Seth is trying to take out one of his tires, is frantically reaching for a rope, he nearly gets there, but is pulled back into the middle of the ring by Seth. RJ manages to roll out of the crab and with his free leg he kicks Seth three times to break the hold. RJ gets to his feet and is favoring his right leg but he hobbles to the ropes and takes a run at Seth and dropkicks him in the leg taking Seth down hard to the mat. RJ immediately picks Seth up and nails him with the MOMENT OF IMPACT. RJ goes for a quick cover and gets a two count. Seth kicks out with authority and both men get to their feet again and start trading blow. Seth gets the upper hand backing Reckless Jack into a corner. He grabs RJ and irish whips him to the far corner. RJ hits the turnbuckle chest first, very hard and stumbles backwards, and is caught by a bulldog from Seth. Seth then wastes little time in limbing to the second rope and he drops an elbow onto the skull of RJ. Seth grabs the legs of RJ and is clearly looking for he sharpshooter here. RJ though, with great ring presence grabs onto the ropes and the referee tells Seth to let go of RJ's legs. Seth complies, and RJ rolls to the outside of the ring.
Eric Hardy: RJ is looking for a breather here, he needs to get hs head together.
Kelly Fox: He should just take a walk and cut his losses.
Eric Hardy: I highly doubt he is going to do that.
{RJ is standing there, and Seth comes over and is jawwing at RJ. RJ in one quick motion jumps up onto the apron and drops the throat of Seth onto the top rope. Seth falls down hard to the mat, and RJ quickly scales to the top rope. RJ comes off quickly with a huge 450 Splash! Instead of going for the pin though RJ gets to his feet, and he is fired up, he gets the crowd on their feet as he calls for the Reckless Killing. He picks Seth up, but when he goes to get Seth to his shoulders Seth slides back and hits an electric chair drop. He grabs the arm of RJ and heads for the corner, clearly preparing for The Silencer.}
Kelly Fox: I hope that he silences RJ for good. Rip out his vocal chords maybe.
{As they get close to the ropes though Reckless Jack grabs the head of Seth and hits SHIRANUI!!!! He locks in the Dragon Sleeper and this hs to be the end...}
Kelly Fox: Where the hell did that come from....GET OUT OF IT SETH!
{Seth is trying everything to escape the move…. But he just can't. The ref checks on him and starts ringing the bell! Winner by knockout Reckless Jack! }
Eric Hardy: This one is over, so sorry Kelly, RJ proved who was the better man here tonight.
Kelly Fox: Oh come on that's no fair….. Seth wasn't pinned and didn't submit!
Eric Hardy: Rules are rules Kelly…
Kelly Fox: Whatever Hardy, Seth was boned and you know it!

The Lights in the arena go out and the crowd become a wall of noise with cheers ringing through the place. Camera's flash and flicker all around as Arctic Monkeys - If you were there, beware starts up over the PA system. As the heavy guitar riff kicks in the strobe lights turn on and you can just make out the lone sillouhette of a man on the entrance ramp. He Raises his arms in the air and white fireworks shoot vertically into the air behind him. The lights return and he confidently walks down the ramp, with his National title hung over his shoulder, to the ring. Fans reach out to grab him but he keeps his eyes focussed on the ring. He reaches the apron and pulls himself up on to it, before getting in the ring under the top rope.
Eric Hardy: Looks like we're ready to get this huge match up between Ace and Manson on!
Kelly Fox: Time for Ace to prove why he's a member of The Empire.
This Dark Day" by Twelve Stones hits the speakers, the lights flash in time with the drums, and as the song kicks in, Christian Kane walks out onto the rampway. He stands their soaking in the cheers and boos and poses, before walking down and taking a seat next to Eric Hardy and Kelly Fox.
Eric Hardy: Well it looks like we're being joined by Christian Kane..
Kelly Fox: Another member of the new Empire. Looks like they're definatly keeping an eye on things tonight.
As the opening guitar plays, the Xtremetron shows the silhouette of a woman with her hair blowing across her face and holding a playing card between the forefingers of her right hand, she flips it over in her fingers to reveal the Ace Of Spades, the symbol grows out of the card and gets larger with every repetition of the opening chords until it envelops the screen. Huge flame pyros explode either side of the ramp as cards begin to fall from the rafters. The lyrics to 'You Know My Name' by Chris Cornell begin as The Ace appears on stage. The Xtremetron shows The Ace superkick Kuroi off the bridge and crash through the spanish announce table but as he does so his image evaporates into many spade symbols...*
If you take a life, do you know what you give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I've deceived?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line...
*The Ace walks down through the shower of falling cards as the XtremeTron shows Spike Kane and Doc receiving Ace-Plants. Tara Fenix is shown receiving a Russian Roulette through the glass canvas and her image evaporates into spade symbols, out of the evaporation rises The Ace's bloody hand, grasping the X*Crown Championship...*
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
*The Ace gets to the foot of the ramp and the cards stop falling before entering the ring himself. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope...*
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name...
*The Ace raises his arms...*
If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change the game that we've all been playing...
*The Ace climbs down an he walks to the middle of the ring and the song fades...*
Eric Hardy: The Ace has a lot to prove tonight, he's said alot over the past week and now it's time to put up or shut up!
Christian Kane: Ace has this one in the bag Hardy, trust me.
Kelly Fox: Well, it seems The Ace is holding nothing back here.
Christian Kane: Why would he? Spike did enough damage to Jack, Ace is capitalising.
The Ace smirks as he drags Manson back to his feet, but Jack pulls off a quick shot to the gut and rolls The Ace through. The ref counts. 1...2-kickout. Jack gets back to his feet smirking right back at The Ace who seems a little shook up.
The two move forward again and lock up and a quick test of strength begins. Manson gains the advantage and whips Ace off the ropes. The Ace bounces back and on the return Manson lifts his knee, connecting with the kitchen sink. The Ace flips and lands hard on his back, clutching his lower abdomen.
Eric Hardy: What a match this is proving to be!
Kelly Fox: It's pretty good I suppose..
Christian Kane: It'll get better, trust me.
Manson lifts Ace back to his feet, but Ace steps forward quickly tackling Manson to the ground. The Ace is on his feet quickly, he claps his hands before executing a standing moonsault. He lays across Manson after executing the move, the ref counts the pin.

Eric Hardy: Don't tell me he's setting up the...

Kelly Fox: Oh my god, it's over!
Manson covers.....1.........2.....-ACE KICKS OUT.

The Ace begins shouting at the ref before turning around right into a huge lariat from Manson.. Manson almost beheads The Ace as he flips a full 360 degrees before landing flat on his back. Manson collapses to the floor, covering The Ace.

Kelly Fox: Now that's how a real Empire member wrestles!
Eric Hardy: what abusing the rules?
Kelly Fox: Ring awareness Hardy, ring awareness.
Jack Manson pulls at his hair as the ref tells him it was only a two count. The Ace has begun to get to his feet and as he does so, Jack does to. The two meet in the center of the ring with a huge fist fight, equalling each other blow for blow. Jack reaches back for a huge haymaker, but The Ace ducks under it. He turns around and is met with a swift kick to the gut from Manson. Manson goes behind Ace, but suddenly he moves away, distracted by none other than Christian Kane who has gotten up from the announcers table.
Eric Hardy: That was so predictable...
Kelly Fox: Shut up Hardy..
Christian moves back as Manson shouts at him, he turns around and is kicked in the gut by Ace before he nails a huge Ace-Plant! The Ace covers.

"Evil (A Chorus of Resistance" by Project 86 blares over the PA system and red and green lights strobe through the arena. Lance calmly walks out onto the NCW ramp and he looks out into the crowd as he receives a tonne of cheers which brings a huge smile to his face. He is closely followed by Cassandra who is dressed in all black. She has on a tight pair of black pants and a very skimpy looking back blouse. As the baseline hits, Lance throws his arm up over his head and shows of the nCw Title as pyro explodes overhead, down the ramp, and inside the ring. Lance slowly walks down the ramp and then runs the last few steps and slides under the bottom rope and into the ring. He lies in the middle of the ring with the World Title laying in front of him as he stares at it, and then rises up and holds the World Title up for all to see.
Eric Hardy: The World Champ is here!
Kelly Fox: Don't get too cocky, I think this is John Anthony's night.
The lights go out in the arena then TNT By AC/DC begins to blare over the sound system. about 10 seconds into the song You see John Anthony emerge from the curtin followed by Armelli. He walks out and crosses his arms and stops at the top of the ramp then pyro shoots off behind him As the Pyro is shooting off Armelli is pointing at Anthony. He then walks to the ring with his arms at his side followed by Armelli. When he gets to the apron and he stands there for a few seconds before jumping on the apron. You see Armelli walking up steps and walks through the ropes. Before Anthony steps through the ropes he wipes his feet off. He gets in the ring takes his sun glasses off and throws them to the crowd. He walks to each of the turnbuckles raising his arms high in the air. As Anthony is going to each turnbuckle Armelli is talking to the ref. Anthony steps down and walks to the far corner waiting for the bell to sound.
The bell rings, and the two men stand in the middle of the ring, face to face. An intense hatred can bee seen in both of their eyes and neither man blinks. Suddenly, Anthony slaps Ryan across the face. Ryan goes for a right hook, but Anthony is able to duck and counter with a small package.…1…2....-Ryan kicks out, and seems stunned at the fact that he almost just lost the match.
Kelly Fox: You can sense the hatred between these two men.
Eric Hardy: Well, Ryan leads NWS and Anthony has been with The Empire since the beginning.
Ryan immediately locks up with Anthony, and gets him in a side headlock. John Anthony bounces him off the ropes, and is met with a brutal clothesline. Ryan lifts him up, and sends him crashing back down with a powerbomb.
Eric Hardy: Wow, Lance Ryan is throwing out everything he can.
Kelly Fox Harter: He is still going to lose.
Ryan hooks the leg, as the ref begins to count.
….1….2…Anthony is able to kick out right before the ref brings his hand down a third time. Now Ryan is determined, and begins to pummel John Anthony with punches.

John Anthony goes up for a superplex, but is met with a number of punches to the stomach. Ryan hooks the leg of Anthony, and nails him with a top rope Fisherman Buster.
Eric Hardy: Holy crap, what a reversal by Lance Ryan!
Kelly Fox: Looks like I'll be eating my words about John Anthony.
Lance however hurt himself in that move and lays on the mat for a few seconds. The ref is about to begin his ten count but Lance begins to get to his feet. The ref moves to check on John Anthony as Lance squats on the opposite side of the ring. Anthony begins to get up and Ryan charges for a spear, but Anthony moves! Lance Ryan connects with the referee!
Eric Hardy: Oh no...that's the last thing Lance Ryan needed..why are you grinning Kelly?
Kelly is grinning at Spike hopping the barrier as Lance looks down at the ref. Anthony is in the other turnbuckle trying to get back to his feet. Spike slides into the ring behind Ryan, the crowd go insane and Lance stands up. He turns around and Spike kicks him square in the nuts before lifting him up into the air and nailing a Spike Impailer. The crowd boo like crazy as Spike grins. John Anthony rolls Lance over and covers him as Spike drags the ref over, lifting the refs hand and slamming it down.....1.........2.........3! Spike shouts at the timekeeper who then rings the bell.
Kelly Fox: Ha! I told you he would do it!
Eric Hardy: Come on, The Empire just brutally screwed Lance Ryan over!
Spike holds up John Anthony's arm as the crowd boo like wild. "TNT" by AC/DC hits the sound system and Spike looks down at Lance Ryan, smirking like a man possessed he can clearly be heard shouting out "Now it's WAR!" We cut to a commercial.

Eric Hardy: Kelly it is now time for the main event. In one corner we see a man who has a lot of controversy surrounding him this past week and our current National champion, Spike Kane. He will be defending against Texas Red Johnny Craven. Spike was the front runner of the ousting of Davey Ortega from the Empire and is now taking over the reins.
Kelly Fox: And we are in good hands. Listen, it's not personal with Davey. It is business. True I joined because of him but The Empire has got to outgrow him. After repeatedly failing to capture the gold, a new boss had to step up. If I was in it just for him then I would have managed him, not joined.
Eric Hardy: Nonetheless, the new "boss" of the Empire is up next so let's gets this under way!
The lights dim as the sound of a gong is heard throughout the entire arena. As the gong continues to ring, a dark voice is heard throughout the entire arena saying "Time's up...Are You Ready?" Then fire erupts from the ramp and entrance as the chorus of "Hey Man Nice Shot" by Filter blares over the PA. At this time Johnny Craven appears at the entrance. He stops at the top of the ramp to take the cheers all in and then he slowly walks down the ramp and then slides into the ring. He then climbs all four turnbuckles, raising his fists high in the air on each turnbuckle. Then the lights come back on. He waits for his opponent, his gaze focused on the ramp.
The arena darkens out as guitars begin to wail over the p.a. system. A black silhouette comes over the Xtreme Tron showing a Spike Impaler being hit. The guitars kick in louder and the vocals begin as Spike Kane walks out onto the stage through a huge cloud of smoke.
Spike stands on the entrance ramp, his arms outstretched arching backwards slightly, his fits balled, he then puts then across his chest forming an "X".
Spike gets to the ring and walks up the stairs cockily; he bounces along the apron and steps into the ring through the middle rope. Spike then walks up to the turnbuckle, looking out to the crowd before arching backwards once more, his arms outstretched sideways, fists balled, before forming the "X" once again.
Spike stands on the turnbuckle smirking at the crowd and Johnny Craven, as the music dies out and the lights return to normal.
The two circle each other; Craven having the size advantage Spike decides not to lock up and instead goes for quick kicks to the back of Craven's left leg. Craven feels the sting as he attempts to put distance between himself and Kane. Craven is able to catch the leg on one of the kicks and elbows the inside hard as Spike is hopping on one foot. Spike attempts an enziguri but Craven sees it coming and ducks, Spike is still on one foot. Craven continues the elbow assault on the leg of Spike. Spike attempts the same enziguri, this time Craven ducks and throws Spike down face first, followed by an elbow dropped to the back of Spike. Craven quickly follows up with a front face lock but Spike, the more agile of the two, quickly makes it to his feet and slips out, side suplexing the massive Texas Red. Spike is back on his feet and stalking craven. As Craven makes it to a knee, spike takes of running and connects with a thunderous shining wizard, looking to dim the lights of Johnny Craven. Craven has a disoriented look in his eyes as Spike stalks him again. Once again when Red makes it to a knee, Spike attempts the same thing; wanting to take the head off of Johnny Craven. This time the shining wizard doesn't go through because Craven catches Spike in perfect powerbomb position and lifts him up high before slamming him down to the mat. The skull of Kane bounces hard off the mat.
Eric Hardy: This doesn't look good for Spike. He attempted to put Craven out with damage to the head but the tides have turned and it is now Spike who has been met with a thud on the mat.
Kelly Fox: Spike is about to prove why he is the champion, and a born leader. One simple move can not possibly keep him down.
Spike shows signs of life as he sits half way up in the corner. He uses the top and middle ropes to pull himself up and is rested against the turnbuckle. Craven is just opposite of him in another corner waiting for the perfect time to strike. As Spike moves into position the massive Johnny launches out of the corner and attempts a big boot but spike has another thing in mind as he drops down to the mat and misses the attack. Craven smashes hard into the corner and Spike rolls him up for a pinfall and put his feet on the ropes. The ref is in position and makes the count. 1…2... But the count is discontinued when Craven powers out of the pin, even with Spike's feet on the middle rope.
Eric Hardy: Even with the illegal advantage Craven has the power with him to get out of the pinning predicament by Spike Kane, The God of Xtreme.
Kelly Fox: Illegal advantage? What are you talking about? It cannot be helped when the action is so close to the ropes that one man gets tangled up! Seriously Eric!
Eric Hardy: You have got to be kidding me. Both feet tangled on one middle rope? How do two straight objects get tangled together?
Kelly Fox: Have you even been in the ring? That's right, NO! You wouldn't understand!
The ref is oblivious to the whole thing as Spike continues the assault to the downed Craven with strikes and forearms. Spike pulls Craven out to the middle of the ring and takes off running for the ropes and jumps up to attempt an Asai Moonsault. On the landing Craven perfectly positions one hand to catch Spike by the throat. Although some impact was made, Craven does let off the neck of Kane and proceeds to make it to his feet. Both men up, Red reaches with the other hand and now has a double choke on Kane. The fans are cheering for "Texas Red" as he ignores the referee's warnings. On the ref's four-count red lifts up Spike Kane and tosses him into the turnbuckle. Craven follows up with a fury of striking punches in to corner, lighting up Kane. The ref pulls Craven off of Kane, getting in his face about the punches and not letting Spike out of the corner. The fans boo the ref and Craven gets in his face, intimidating him. By the time Johnny turns around, Spike is on the tope rope and unexpectedly hits a picture perfect missile dropkick. Craven isn't knocked down but stumbles backwards hard into the ropes. When he bounces off the ropes spike is already on his feet and meets him with a kick to the gut and sets him up for Freya's Wings; and connects on the big man in the middle of the ring and follows up with a pin.
The referee makes the count. 1…2…3! Spike Kane has won!
Kelly Fox: You see that Eric, Spike didn't even have use his real finisher on Craven, what a pushover! Even with all that cheating by not breaking in the corner Craven has still fallen!
Eric Hardy: Finisher or not, that move is as devastating as they come and a well documented part of Spike Kane's arsenal. As far as cheating goes, I would insult your intelligence but I haven't seen it around.
Kelly Fox: I am so glad I don't have to see you for another week Hardy!
As "The Wicked End" by Avenged Sevenfold plays over the pa Spike Kane picks up his National Title and places it over his shoulder aswell as picking up a mic. He does the cuthroat motion for the music to cut, and it does.
Spike Kane: Now...now that I've disposed of the tailer park trash...I said I would be moving on to greater competition...and thats why nCw. Thats why I have established an over the top battle royal for next weeks Collision. The winner of the match will become number one contender and be garunteed a shot at the National Championship. The competitors where picked personally by me...
Eric Hardy: What an announcement!
Spike: The Ace. Milo Holland. Shaun Wilson. Danny Vice. Ghost and Ricky Johnson!
Eric Hardy: I love how he doesn't give Jack Manson his chance at redemption!
Spike Kane: There you have it guys...prepare, train and work hard...because a match with The Spiked One is either a career maker, or a career breaker...just ask Jack Manson, and poor Johnny Craven here...
Spike smirks as "The Wicked End" by Avenged Sevenfold hits the sound system. The crowd boo Spike like crazy as he poses with the "X" across his chest as Collision comes to an end.
