{nCw's Collision live from Memphis, Tennessee opens up the sounds of Daughtry's "There and Back again". After the opening video and spanning the arena showing several of the fans and their signs we join Kelly Fox and Eric Hardy at ringside.}
Kelly Fox: Welcome to another edition of Collision fans!
Eric Hardy: We have a great show in store for you tonight but first, we're going to go to Chad Lights who has some breaking news.
{The camera cuts backstage to Chad Lights who is standing infront of a video screen.}
Chad Lights: Well fans, everybody has been wondering since Collision's card was released why was Adam Knite reffing a match that his partner was in…. well we did some investigating and have discovered this video that opened sometime after Collision last week!
{The camera focuses on the video screen where we see Adam Knite and Leonard talking. Adam hands Leonard a piece of paper.}
Leonard Fox: You went out and got a ref's license!? Why!?
Adam Knite: I wanna ref the match between Dave Holland and Punisher!
Leonard Fox: Have you flipped your lid!?
Adam Knite: Come on give me this!
Leonard Fox: I hired you as a wrestler not a ref, and why would I do this after what you did to Kelly.
Adam Knite: Everybody makes mistakes Leo… Come on… man, I want to get those Hollands….
Leonard Fox: You've already beat them for the tag titles…. What else can you do?
Adam Knite: Embarrass them like they did to me …bastards…
Leonard Fox: Ugh… fine Adam, whatever you want….but I expect you to call a clean match then…….
Adam Knite: Oh… I will…..
{The scene cuts back to chad lights}
Chad Lights: There you have it, back to you Eric and Kelly.
{Cuts back to Fox and Hardy.}
Kelly Fox: Man Adam sure knows what it takes to get what he wants!
Eric Hardy: I can't believe you actually think that this could possibly be good in any way.
Kelly Fox: Oh come on Hardy, grow up.
Eric Hardy:… Well lets just get to the first match shall we?
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
Eric Hardy: Texas Red is looking fit and on fire here tonight and he will attempt to take out a man who is no picnic himself, and that would be “The Machine” John Anthony!
Kelly Fox: Right, it won’t happen but still I admire him for making it out here to try.
Eric Hardy: Did you expect this mountain of a man to hide? You must be drinking tonight!
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 curtain 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. Anthony steps down and walks to the far corner.
Eric Hardy: Just as his theme song implies, John Anthony is an explosive man. He has made impact every week he has been on this show and much like Johnny Craven he has a lot of fight in him.
Kelly Fox: And much more Eric.
Johnny Craven starts things off with a tackle and a set of right hands. Anthony rolls him over and returns the same. Anthony picks Craven up and attempts an Irish whip but it is reversed. Craven fires off a big boot but is ducked under and Anthony comes back hard with a clothesline. Anthony attempts another clothesline but Craven ducks and his and hits he boot. Craven immediately jumps Anthony, backing him into the corners and firing off rapid punches. Anthony draws his arms in the block the punches and the ref pulls craven back, admonishing him. While Texas Red is distracted by the ref, The Machine launches a huge dropkick off the top rope; taking out Craven and the referee. John Anthony has a huge smile across his face. John immediately begins his onslaught of illegal maneuvers. Anthony wraps his hand around the throat of Craven and begins to choke the life out of him. The fans are chanting for Craven but to no avail. Anthony looks at the crowd in disgust, yelling at them to shut up.
Eric Hardy: What the hell is this guy doing? This doesn’t look like wrestling to me!
Kelly Fox: It’s a fight now. All is legal and anything goes.
Eric Hardy: At least until the ref gets up!
John Anthony drags Craven over to the apron and exits the ring. He grabs Cravens head and elbows him right in the neck. The fans cringe at seeing these heinous actions as John Anthony does the same again. Anthony notices the referee coming to and reenters the ring. Anthony backs Craven in the corner and puts him in the seated position on the top rope. Anthony climbs up there and gets Craven into suplex position. He pulls up but craven has the momentum and lifts him up and slams him face first into the mat, followed by a huge elbow drop. Craven gets up and elbows drop him again. Anthony gets up in the corner and Johnny Craven charges at him for a splash but John Anthony underhandedly switched places with the referee and avoids the attack, putting the ref down again.
Eric Hardy: Damn it! Is this the only way he can beat Craven? I don’t understand what I am seeing here!
Kelly Fox: This is genius!
Anthony is laughing And Craven turns around to stare him down. Anthony slides out of the ring and grabs a chair. Craven is watching him the whole time and Anthony slides back in. John and Johnny meet in the middle of the ring and The Machine points to the chair and tells Craven to just give it up or he is going to end his career. Craven looks over at the downed ref, then back at John Anthony. After a hesitation Texas Red kicks John Anthony right in the crotch, then grabs that chair and hits him in the back with it, much to the fans delight. The fan are now going crazy and chanting for Craven who throws the chair over the rope and stalks Anthony. The ref is now back to his feet and John Anthony’s manager Jason Armelli is yelling at him to get up. Craven picks up Anthony in perfect position for his signature Redline Hangover. Armelli jumps on the apron to distract the referee as John Anthony wiggles out and pushes Craven off the ropes, hitting him with a hard kick to the groin. Craven is doubled over and the ref turns around just in time to see John Anthony hit his patented Dead on Arrival.
The Machine pins Craven 1…2…3.
Eric Hardy: I don’t believe this. I am literally becoming physically ill form seeing that. This is wrestling dammit.
Kelly Fox: This is a sport where you do what it takes to win!
Eric Hardy: Not like this dammit. Not like this!
The camera fades as John Anthony and Jason Armelli celebrate in the ring and Johnny Craven has rolled out onto the floor.
{{Commercial Break}}
Eric Hardy: Welcome back folks and hopefully this matchup will turn out better than the garbage we just witnessed John Anthony deal out.
Kelly Fox: It doesn’t get any better than that though Eric. That was a tale of survival of the fittest. The classic story. And if either of these two men wants a shot at the X-Division title they will do the same.
"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 ramp way. He stands their soaking in the cheers and boos and poses, before sprinting to the ring, sliding into the ring and jumping to his feet. He climbs the turnbuckle arms extended as he shows off his physique.
“I’m too sexy” begins to play and Sexy Jason struts out onto the ramp. The fans are unsure whether they like him or not but boos are heard. He gets in the ring and poses, showing himself off.
Sexy Jason locks it up with CK and Kane takes him down hard with a fierce arm drag and both men are immediately back up. The same tactic is applied and this time it is Jason who lands an arm drag on Kane. Kane pops up and runs at Jason but meets a hip toss for his trouble. They lock up again and CK gets powered into the corner by Jason After a clean break Jason walks away and flexes to the fans. CK takes this opportunity to take Jason down with a bulldog locks on a headlock. Jason is quickly out and stumbles into the corners where Christian meets him with a splash. Jason stumbles and falls down in the middle of the ring as CK mounts the top rope. Jason is in prim position and Kane takes a chance with a very high elevated moonsault and Jason moves in the nick of time and CK crashes hard on the blank canvas.
Kelly Fox: Bad move by Christian Kane. He is better than this. Sexy Jason has way too much gas in the tank to fall for that. But he will no doubt recover and kick this guy’s hot ass!
Eric Hardy: Well it’s called high risk for a reason. You win some, you lose some. Don’t count Kane out so soon folks.
Sexy Jason sees Kane clutching his midsections and sees his opportunity. He locks on the abdominal stretch, spreading the ribs and further damaging the abs of Christian Kane. Continuing his intelligent assault Jason pump handles CK from the abdominal stretch position and slams him down hard with his own head smashing the stomach of CK. Kane clutches his stomach and writhes in pain. Jason puts Christian on his shoulder and readies him for a running power slam but Christian slips out and sends Jason into the corner. When Jason realizes what happens he turns around and is immediately hit by a hurricanrana. The fans pop huge for this fast paced action and Christian keeps his momentum going by spring boarding and catching Jason with a quick dropkick. Jason rolls backwards and through, landing on his feet and catches CK with a powerful clothesline form behind.
Eric Hardy: Wow, Jason is showing some amazing resiliency tonight, simply rolling through on that dropkick that hit him. What athleticism.
Kelly Fox: And he’s pretty hot.
Eric Hardy: I wouldn't know.
Kelly Fox: sure you wouldn’t. But either way Christian is going to maime him!
Jason ties CK up in the ropes, immobilizing his arms. He is now working on the ribs again with multiple punches and kicks. Jason walks back to the other side of the ring and charges at Christian Kane with a knee to the ribs. Kane is showing pain in his eyes, but never cries out. Jason runs with another knee. The fans are booing him. The referee tries to help Christian out of the ropes in between knee attacks. Jason comes at him again but Kane manages to throw his own legs up and catches him with a head scissors. Jason is struggling to get out but Kane has it cinched in hard. Jason cannot get to the ropes because Christian Kane is in between him and the ropes, as CK is still stuck. Christian frees his arms and Jason is still standing so CK does a head scissors takedown. CK is seen with blood dripping down his mouth, a sign of internal injuries.
Eric Hardy: Amazing that this man can continue like this. He wants that X-Division title shot so bad!
Kelly Fox: What have I been telling you?
Jason has been rattled by the head scissors submission that was previously applied and stumbles into the corner when he gets up. Christian follows him and ad Jason gives him a forearm to the face and scoops him up for a sexy relaxer but is overtaken with Christian’s momentum. Christian slips out of the scooped position and kicks Jason hard in the stomach before setting him up for System shock. Jason tries to power out by lifting Christian up but CK hits hit with hard strikes to the spine and regains control and hits the System Shock1
He makes the cover 1…2…3!
Kelly Fox: Wow, this contest was awesome and Christian has shown what he is made of here tonight!
Eric Hardy: I know sometimes you can get so high on people you are affiliated with but tonight Christian Kane fought with passion against his worthy opponent “Sexy” Jason, If that is his real name.
Sexy Jason stumbles to his feet and can be seen telling Christian Kane that it was all luck. He walks up the ramp as Kane celebrates and the camera fades.

Eric Hardy: Up next we have a second round match in our nCw X-Division Title Tournament. Joe Everyman will be taking on Reckless Jack of No Warning Shots. This could be an interesting match, as my inside sources tell me that Everyman has also been seen talking to Lance Ryan of late too.
Kelly Fox: You have inside sources? I'm not even going to touch that one…
{ 1, 2, 3, 4!!! Survival of the Sickest by Saliva starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place.
"I'm a hand up mona lisa's dress
I'm a smile on every criminal you'll ever acquit,
I'm the things you've done you'd never admit
Cause one hand is on the bible and the other's in s***."
"But right now, your faceless in the crowd
I'm shouting out loud
The one you counted out of the game
Oh wow!
Take a good look at me now
Should have never had a doubt
Is that you I hear screamin' my name?"
Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage. He looks into the crowd, holding his arm up with belt in hand. Maria Williams walks out from behind Joe and looks into the crowd too. Joe gives Maria a kiss on the cheek as they both start to walk down the ramp.
"I'm a roller
I'm a rider
I'm number one mother****ing survivor"
"So move over
I'm a driver
And I'm high and i'm keep gettin higher"
"Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!"
Joe Everyman and Maria Williams continue walking down the ramp looking into the crowd. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does a Brock Lesnar esk jump.
"I'm the one you thought that you could erase
But a predator that's faster than the food that it chased,
You fall off the horse you brought to the race
I'll be the one who's flyin' by ya kickin' s*** in your face."
"And right now, your faceless in the crowd
I'm shouting out loud
The one you counted out of the game
Oh wow!
Take a good look at me now
Should have never had a doubt
Is that you I hear screamin' my name?"
Joe Everyman walks up the steps and climbs into the ring. He looks around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot from the ring posts. Joe then stands and waits.
"I'm a roller
I'm a rider
A number one mother****ing survivor"
"So move over
I'm the driver
And I'm high and I'm gonna keep gettin higher"
"Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!"
{Joe is awaiting the arrival of Reckless Jack.}
{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 referee calls for the bell and the two men meet in the ring and shake hands.}
Kelly Fox: That makes me sick, there is no place for this in this sport.
Eric Hardy: It's called sportsmanship. I know, you don't understand you only believe in sleeping your way to the top.
Kelly Fox: Shut the hell up Eric.
{RJ and Joe lock up in the middle of the ring and have a bit of a power struggle for the upper hand. Both men are jockeying for position with their bodies and their power, with both men trading the upper hand as they end up moving around the ring. Finally, Everyman winds up getting the upper hand as he backs RJ up into a corner. The referee calls for a clean break and Joe gives it to him. Both men go back to the centre of the ring and are sizing one another up again. They lock up one more time, and this time RJ does get the upper hand and shoves Joe hard to the mat. Joe looks up at RJ and claps his hands mockingly.}
Eri Hardy: These two men have a bit of a friendly rivalry. They had quite a history in another fed under the name of No Warning Shots and you are seeing hat play out here.
{Joe gets to his feet, and emotions boil over finally. Both men start trading blows in the middle of the ring, with Joe getting the upper hand now. He manages to make RJ stumble back and grabs hold of a headlock. Joe cinches the move on tightly and drives his foot into the back of RJ's knee forcing RJ down to the mat. Joe puts his weight onto RJ now as well and RJ seems to be fading a bit. Suddenly the crowd starts to get behind RJ though and RJ shows some signs of life and fights back to his feet. He hits three elbows to the stomach of Joe and manages to loose the hold, RJ then runs towards the ropes and throws Joe into the far side. Joe though grabs hold or the top rope hoping to outthink RJ, but this backfires as RJ runs in and clotheslines Joe over the top rope and to the floor. With a few seconds to recover RJ rubs his head to get the feeling back after the headlock. RJ also is backing up, and as Joe gets to his feet outside the ring RJ runs across the ring, jumps to the top rope and then jumps sideways to the middle of the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault on Joe outside the ring, RJ though hits his head pretty hard off the floor. Both men are down and the fans are on their feet!}
Fans: HOLY s***! HOLY s***! HOLY s***!
Eric Hardy: That was amazing, I have never seen anyone do anything quite like that before!
Kelly Fox: Hell, even I have to admit that that was pretty amazing!
{Outside the ring, Joe manages to half-ass get to his feet first and rolls into the ring to break the referee's ten count, and the referee checks on him and then starts his count over on RJ. Joe sits up a bit in the ring and looks to see if RJ is getting up, when he does, he quickly lays back down on the mat and appears to be playing possum. RJ crawls first to the apron, and then when he sees that Joe is down, he climbs to the top turnbuckle. He motions that he is going to go for a seated senton, but he gets up in the air, Joe simply rolls out of the way. RJ is down on the mat holding his back as Joe takes advantage by laying the Ronnie Garvin stomps on every joint in RJ's body. He then picks RJ up off and sends him into the ropes, he then nails RJ with a humongous powerslam! Joe does not give up there, and RJ gets to his feet and gets thrown hard into the far corner. He follows in with a splash, and climbs to the top rope and starts unloading on RJ. The fans count along. 1…2…3…4…5….6…7…8…9…10! At ten, Joe grabs the head of RJ and drops him down hard with a bulldog from the top rope. RJ is down, and Joe goes for a pin. 1…2…and RJ kicks out. He still has some life in him.}
Eric Hardy: This has been one hell of a match Kelly. Both men are proving that they could proudly wear that X Division Title. This one is still anyone's game.
{Both men are now slowly getting to their feet. RJ manages to give an irish whip to Joe who goes chest first into the corner. As he backs out RJ rolls him up quickly and gets only a two count! RJ runs off the far side and comes back with a dropkick to the knee. Joe goes down hard clutching his knee. RJ takes the chance and locks on an STF. Joe is struggling to get to the ropes now, but has a long way to go. Suddenly the crowd erupts in boos as The Ace and Christian Kane run down the rampway. The referee is distracted by them and telling them to leave when Spike Kane comes in through the crowd. He is jawing at RJ who breaks the hold and threatens to come out after Spike. Suddenly, Lance Ryan, and Jack Manson come bolting down the rampway and Spike, Christian, and Ace all take off through the crowd. NWS stay down ringside as RJ turns around to Joe who is now on his feet.}
Kelly Fox: Why the hell didn't Joe take advantage there?
{Both men again lock up and RJ this time moves around and gets a headlock on Joe. Out of nowhere, he manages to get the move to the corner and he nails Joe with SHIRANUI!!!!!!
The referee makes the count…
1…2…3!!!!!}
Eric Hardy: Out of nowhere! This may in fact have been one of the best matches ever here in nCw. No man deserved to lose here!
Kelly Fox: I still do not understand why Joe didn't attack RJ from behind.
Eric Hardy: Fairness Kelly.
Kelly Fox: You are such a pansy Eric.
{Inside the ring, Joe is now to his feet, and RJ is celebrating on the top rope. He jumps down and he and Joe are eye to eye. Suddenly NWS is coming into the ring and Lance has a mic.}
Lance Ryan: Joe Everyman. We have been watching you for some time, and we have come to a decision. After scouting you for weeks, and watching this outstanding match, we have decided to offer you a spot in No Warning Shots. So, what do you say bro?
{Joe reaches for the mic.}
Joe Everyman: I would be stupid to not notice the way that things are going here in nCw, gang warfare throughout. I would also be stupid to skip a chance at joining the group of freedom fighters that you three are. So….count me in!
{Joe reaches out and shakes hands with Lance, Manson and finally RJ and the four men leave the ring to chorus of cheers.
Kelly Fox: Wow, another person joins that second rate team….
Eric Hardy: That "Second rate" team does have the World Champion….
Kelly Fox: Not for long….
{{Commercial Break}}
Kelly Fox: Welcome back fans, this next match should be the pinnacle of fair officiating for the night…
Eric Hardy: Yeah I'm sure it will be.
Kelly Fox: What are you trying to say Hardy?
Eric Hardy: I'm saying Adam Knite is going to do everything he can to make sure Punisher wins this match!
Kelly Fox: I'm sure Adam will be nothing but fair during this match!
Eric Hardy: Yeah sure he will.
{Adam Knite is standing in the middle of the ring wearing standard issue nCw referee gear. Dave Holland's music hits and he is accompanied to the ring by Milo. They enter the ring and Adam begins waving his arms and Milo and screaming for him to leave the ring!}
Eric Hardy: Now what!?
Kelly Fox: He's making Milo go backstage! He's making sure things are staying fair!
Eric Hardy: Fair!? Fair would be sending Adam backstage and bringing a real ref out!
Kelly Fox: HEY! Adam is a trained referee, he has every right to ref this match!
{Milo looks furious and like he's about to attack but Dave calmly puts a hand on his chest and tells him it'll be ok. Milo obliges and exits the ring and goes backstage. Punisher's music hits as Dave is looking towards the entry way. Punisher walks to the ring with his normal stoic look, he slides in then jumps to his feet and is ready for a fight.}
Eric Hardy: Well here we go. Let the screw job begin…
Kelly Fox: Come on Hardy, give Adam a chance.
{Punisher and Holland rush each other but Adam steps between them holding out his arms telling them he hasn't rang the bell the yet. Adam pushes Holland back to his corner when suddenly he ducks out of the way and Punisher comes rushing in and gives Holland a huge clothesline that sends him to the mat! Adam calls for the bell as soon as this happens.}
Eric Hardy: And so it begins……
Kelly Fox: Adam was doing the right thing, the bell hadn't rung, Punisher is the one who did something naughty not Adam.
Eric Hardy: Like it wasn't planned… sheesh.
{Punisher clearly has the early advantage and begins his assault on Mr. Holland. Punisher pulls Dave to his feet and whips him into the ropes Dave comes back and gets somoan dropped, Punisher immediately gets to his feet and locks Dave into his version of the Sharpshooter!}
Kelly Fox: Punisher is going for the win early here!
Eric Hardy: I'm not so sure on that, this may just be Punisher trying to weaken Holland's legs and lower back early. He may fully expect Holland to get out of this move. Maybe that's why he's going for it so early.
Kelly Fox: Good point. Best case scenario Holland taps out, worst case scenario Holland finds a way out of the move using a lot of energy.
Eric Hardy: Exactly.
{Dave fights the move and manges to crawl to the ropes where he reaches out and extends his arm. Adam tells Punisher to break the hold, but Punisher refuses. Instead he just keeps it clutched in while Holland is calling out in pain. The crowd is booing and Adam is making no effort to force Punisher to break the hold.}
Eric Hardy: Come on, break the hold Knite…
Kelly Fox: He doesn't see Holland's hand on the ropes…
Eric Hardy: Like hell he doesn't!
{Punisher finally breaks the hold and pulls Dave to his feet, Dave fights Punisher off with several quick jabs with his elbow to Pun's midsection. Punisher backs off a couple of steps before runs uses the ropes fro leverage and does a springboard moonsault, he's right on target before Adam pretends to trip and shoves Punisher out of the way! Dave lands on his stomach wrenching in pain. Punisher flips Holland over and Adam is going for the fast count.}
Eric Hardy: Come on Holland!
{Holland barely manages to throw a shoulder up before the 3 count}
Eric Hardy: Adam did his best to screw Holland over, there!
Kelly Fox: Come on Holland that was a perfectly fair and standard count.
Eric Hardy: You're delusional.
{Punisher pulls Dave to his feet again, this time lifting him onto his shoulders looking for his Death Valley Driver! Punisher circles the ring a couple of times and looks to plant Dave when suddenly the fans erupt as Milo Holland rushes down to the ring with a steel chair in his hands! Adam turns to him and begins screaming for him to go back but Milo slides in and clocks Adam with the chair! Punisher drops Dave and rushes him but takes a chair shot as well! Milo pulls Dave over and drapes his arm over Punisher's chest….. He then takes Adam's arm and slams it down on the mat three times!}
Eric Hardy: The bell is ranging Dave Holland has pulled it off!
Kelly Fox: WHAT?! NO! Milo clocked the ref with the chair he should be DQed!
Eric Hardy: Well TOO BAD!
Kelly Fox= Danggit, screw you Hardy!
{{Commercial Break}}
{After the break we are backstage where Adam Knite and Punisher are with Leonard Fox.}
Adam Knite: Leonard I'm reversing the decision, Punisher should win by DQ!
Punisher: That piece of garage hit use with a chair, that's a DQ every time!
Leonard Fox: Look guys… you're the ones who tried to pull the swerve by having Adam become a licensed referee.
Adam Knite: Hey, I did that fair and square Leonard!
Dave Holland: You call that BS of a match fair?
{The camera pans out to show that the Brothers Holland have entered the room}
Adam Knite: I was the ref and I was doing my job, refing things so.. yeah it was far….
Punisher: Very true.
Dave Holland: Funny because from my point of view all I saw was a lot of dirty tricks…..
Leonard Fox: All of you shut up! This is my office.
{The office becomes quite}
Leonard Fox: Like it or not Holland Brothers, that was DQ worthy, hitting an nCw referee with a steel chair…
{Milo extends his arm like he's going to interrupt}
Leonard Fox: Let me finish! … however… .like it or not AoV…. You two were pulling some fancy stunts in that match…. So I'm officially ruling this a no contest… so both of you deal with it!
Punisher: Come on Leo that's bull man! We've known each other for years….
Leonard Fox: That doesn't matter Pun, I've got a job to do, so I'm booking this for next week, I'm booking it, The AoV vs. The Brothers Holland for the tag team titles!
{Everybody in the room looks content before we are taken back to ringside with Kelly and Hardy.}
Eric Hardy: Wow… your former Boyfriend weasels his way out of a loss for the Punisher…
Kelly Fox: I love my dad but he dropped the ball on that one, The Hollands should have been DQed and Punisher should have had his arm raised…. This is a screw job.
Eric Hardy: In brighter news.. we Finally get to see Dr. Pepper defend his Xtreme title here tonight!
Kelly Fox: This promises to be a great match. Mr Pibb or Xtreme champion takes on "The Xtreme One" Richard Marciano this is going to be good!
{TXO makes his way to the ring he gets some cheers from the fans along the way. He slides under the bottom rope and awaits Dr. Pepper. The sound of Queen hits the PA system and the fans erupt as Dr Pepper walks to the ring carrying a bottle of Dr Pepper with him. He places it on the ring apron before sliding into the ring. The ref rings the bell and the match is underway.}
Eric Hardy: Here we go Kelly.
Kelly Fox: This should be good.
{They kick things off when both men lock up in the middle of the ring. TXO gets an early advantage with a lifting knee to the stomach and then takes DP by the back of the head and rushes him into the top turnbuckle. Dr Pepper throws after hitting the turnbuckle and then turns around, kicks TXO in the gut and DDT's him back down to the mat. He rolls outside the ring and reaches under the ring pulling out a table he sets it up on the outside then reaches under the ring again pulling out a stop sign before sliding back into the ring. TXO gets to his apparently unaware that Pepper is waiting on him, but when Pepper swings TXO rolls over of the way, comes up behind Pepper and hits a huge release German suplex! Dr Pepper holds the back of his neck and shoulders before rolling out of the ring. He stands there regrouping but TXO doesn't give him much time because he nails a baseball slide that sends Pepper flying into the guard rails! Pepper is holding his ribs in obvious pain. TXO steps through the ropes and stands on the apron, he measures Pepper and then leaps off connecting with a drop kick right into the ribs of Dr Pepper! The crowd erupts and Pepper is on the floor holding his rib cage.}
Eric Hardy: TXO is going all out !
Kelly Fox: That was painful to watch!
{TXO pulls pepper to his feet and places him in a standing position with his torso leaned on top of the ring apron. TXO reaches under the ring and pulls out a broom stick! He raises it high into the air and begins smashing pepper with it several times! The fans count 7…8….9….TXO Backs off to get a running head start before he takes an extra large swing and connects with 10! Pepper holds his back as he slumps off the apron and is laying almost lifeless on the floor. TXO covers him and 1…2…Dr Pepper barely raises his shoulder. TXO doesn't let this bother him as he drags Pepper to the table Pepper had set up earlier. TXO pulls the Doctor to his feet and Pep realizing what's going on begins fighting, he manages to knock TXO off guard and irish whips him into the steel ring post! TXO takes a step back, while leaning forward holding his forehead. Pepper uses the agility of a man half his size and runs up behind Marciano leaps and bull dogs him straight into the ring steps! The move busts open the forehead of Richard Marciano.}
Kelly Fox: Holy crap!
Eric Hardy: Man these two are going non stop trying to kill each other it seems!
{Pepper pulls Marciano to his feet and drapes him across the table. Then approaches the time keeper and steals the steel chair he was sitting on. Pepper climbs to the apron gets a running start, places the chair under his right arm and comes flying off the apron putting the chair right into TXO's chest putting him through the table! The crowd erupts as Pepper pushes the chair to the side and covers Richard the ref counts 1…2..TXO barely lifts a shoulder!}
Kelly Fox: How could he kick out of that!?
Eric Hardy: That TXO is as tough as nails, that's for sure….
Kelly Fox: I know that first hand… I still have a scar on my forehead from when wrestled.
{Pepper pulls TXO to his feet and throws him into the ring. He opens his Dr Pepper bottle and takes a big swig before rolling in the ring, he waits for TXO to stand up and as soon as he does he sprays his mist, however Marciano sees it coming and does a wrestling takedown to Pepper and the mist falls harmlessly on his back. TXO gets to his knees and begins laying punches into the face of Pepper, TXO climbs off after several punches and pulls the Doctor to his feet and then irish whips him into the ropes, Pepper comes back and a dodges a big boot attempt from TXO, TXO turns to face Pepper but gets a kick in the stomach, Pepper lifts him into the air and hits the Pepperplex! The ref counts 1...2..3! Winner: Dr Pepper!
Kelly Fox: Holy.. cow... this match... could have went either way..
Eric Hardy: You got that right Kelly... I don't think this is the last Dr Pepper has seen of Richard Marciano.......
Kelly Fox: I can guarantee you that.... TXO..... he's a warrior man, if anything this loss has only made him more focused and determined and now he knows what Dr Pepper can do.
Eric Hardy: Good points Kelly, well we'll take another commercial break before coming back to declare a new number one contender to the National title!
{{Commercial Break}}
Eric Hardy: Another match that should prove to be an instant classic. All these men will step into the ring and try for a shot at Spike Kane's National title!
Kelly Fox: Should be great!
*A low hum echoes throughout the arena. The crowd cheer hugely as they know who this symbolises. The sound of synthesised strings can be heard playing the main theme as on the Titantron appears the image of a man striking various poses but only lit for the briefest of moments.
Below the tron on the stage steps out a man just as the guitars kick in and set the crowd off hugely, almost drowning out Crimson Tide as it's being played. The man looks around at the crowd. Milo Holland lets out a roar as missile fireworks explode behind him into the air.
The crowd erupt and as Milo walks down the ramp to the ring he hits the outstretched hands that he can, hyping up the crowd as he walks along, obviously been watching his brother. he seems to be shouting 'Come On!' at them. The lead guitar picks up the theme and plays him into the ring. He dives under the bottom rope, something a big man doesn't do often but he seems able to. He stands and looks around. As Crimson Tide comes to the end of it's short duration he throws his arms downward, striking the turnbuckle pyros on the last chord of the piece. Silence afterwards save for the same low hum from the opening. He looks around at the crowd, cheering and chanting his name. He prepares for the match in the remaining time.* Kelly Fox: Well it looks like we're ready to get this six man battle royal underway...with the first entrant, Milo Holland.
"Down" by 311 plays as Ricky Johnson makes his way to the ring.
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: god thats one long boring entrance...well, now we have three of our six superstarts.
The lights dim as the words to the song blares throughout the arena. A yellow spotlight shines on the entranceway as Shawn steps out from behind the curtains. He smirks as the mixed reactions reign down all over the arena. Shawn slowly walks down the aisle greeting only the ladies and a few guys, but mainly ladies. He runs and hops up on the apron and turns and raises both arms in the air. Shawn then talks trash to the fans as he rounds the ring walking the apron. He then steps through the ropes and climbs the turnbuckle. Shawn stands there smirking as his song plays. He finally hops down and starts to pace waiting on his opponent.
Kelly Fox: This is a big match for Shaun Wilson, a chance for him to show what he can do here in nCw.
"Heart" by Blinded Colony begins. Ghost walks out, takes a quick look around the arena (left to right), thrusts both arms open in a showboat manner, which is followed by a large explosion of pyro. The lights go out and red lights begin to flicker in the dark. Ghost walks to the ring, gets on the closest right turnbuckle (outside of the ring) and does his showboat taunt once again, facing the crowd. At this point. red spot light hit the ring. He then hops into the ring and waits to stalk his prey. Eric Hardy: And here's Ghost...a definate strong choice for tonight Kelly.
{All six men stand in the center of the ring, looking around at each other. The bell rings and for a moment the world seems silent as each man looks around at who to go for. Suddenly chaos errupts as Milo Holland flies right at Ghost, nailing him with a forearm. The Ace goes after "Rockstar" Ricky Johnson, whilst Shaun Wilson and Danny Vice lock up with each other.}
Eric Hardy: I'll tell you one thing Kelly. Spike may not be as smart as Davey Ortega, but he's not far off.
Kelly Fox: To come up with such a great match to find a number one contender, something neither champion in the nCw has done. {Milo whips Ghost off the ropes, but Ghost manages to dive up onto the turnbuckle, coming back with a diving forearm, which Milo dodges, forcing Ghost to connect with Danny Vice. Shaun Wilson turns to Milo who slams a huge big boot into his face. The Ace has Ricky Johnson in the turnbuckle, nailing chop after chop. The Ace whips Ricky Johnson off the ropes, and on the rebound he ducks lifting Johnson up with a huge moneky flip! Ricky Johnson hits the air and sails right the way over the ropes!!}
ELIMINATED: Ricky Johnson!<.b>
Kelly Fox: Well the "Rockstars" night was certainly cut short by Spike's new right hand man, The Ace.
{Ghost is back up on his feet. He drags Danny Vice to his feet, and wrenches under the arm, nailing a huge reverse kick to the make-up'd face of Danny Vice. Danny drops back to the mat but Ghost drags him back to his feet. Ghost whips him off the ropes and Danny Vice jumps up for a hurricarana, Ghost however with his large size and strength advantage simply lifts Danny Vice up and powerbombs him out of the ring! Danny Vice hits the ringside and clutches at his back in incredible pain.}
ELIMINATED: Danny Vice.
Eric Hardy: You know what Kelly, seeing the way these men are working in this ring, I'm not so sure it was a good idea for Spike Kane to offer up the oppourtunity to so many men..
Kelly Fox: Spike has a plan Hardy, trust me. {Milo meanwhile, has been busy stomping the crap out of Shaun Wilson. The Ace and Ghost lock up in the far corner as Milo lifts Shaun Wilson up onto the turnbuckle. The crowd errupt as Milo grabs Wilson by the throat, but instead of throwing him into the ring Milo steps aside a little and throws Shaun Wilson from the top of the turnbuckle to the ringside with a turnbuckle chokeslam!!}
ELIMINATED: Shaun Wilson!
{Milo turns around to see Ace and Ghost grappling. Ace takes Ghost over with a headlock takeover. He turns around and stands up right into a huge powerslam from Milo Holland. Milo gets back up to his feet and is hit with a kick to the gut from Ghost. Ghost bounces off the ropes and comes back with a huge elbow to the back of Milo's head. Ghost now turns around right into a superkick from The Ace, but Ghost catches the leg, he spins it away but The Ace manages to spin a full 360 and nails Ghost with the kick anyway! Milo slowly gets back to his feet and he turns around, his gaze meeting with The Ace. The two men look at each other, hatred for each other glowing in each other's eyes, before Ghost pulls Ace from behind and rolls him through and into a leglock. Milo stands there grinning at The Ace.}
Eric Hardy: You can feel the tension between Milo Holland and The Ace right here!
Kelly Fox: I'm too sure on the history here Eric, but I know one things for certain it involves a woman!
Eric Hardy: Doesnt everything.... {Back in the ring, Milo decided to get in on the fun and pulled Ghost from behind with a dragon sleeper, before dropping down with a reverse DDT. The Ace is back on his feet, and as Milo turns around Ace delivers a swift kick to the gut before planting him with a DDT of his own. The crowd are on their feet, not for any one of these superstars but for all of them for putting on such a great match. The Ace drags Ghost to his feet and tries to whip him but Ghost reverses it, Ace bounces off the ropes and flips up for a hurricarana. Ghost stumbles as he tries to control Ace. But Milo bounces off the ropes and hits a huge spear to Ghost. Ghost stumble backwards and Ace goes over the ropes, locking his legs around Ghost and grabbing the ropes. With the combined momentum, Ghost is pulled over the ropes and drops to the outside as The Ace rolls back under the ropes. Milo has turned around in the mean time, thinking he's won.}
ELIMINATED: Ghost!
Eric Hardy: Wow, did you see that accidental teamwork by Milo and Ace?
Kelly Fox: Forget that, Milo thinks he's won! {Milo raises his hand as The Ace spins him around. Ace sends a fist to Milo's face, and Milo returns the favour. Soon enough the two get into a full blown fist fight, but predictably, Milo gets the advantage. He whips The Ace off the ropes and lifts him up into the air, spinning him around mid-air, setting up the Flame's End. But...suddenly, somebody jumps over the security barrier. It's Ruth!! Ruth comes running at the ring screaming and shouting. She climbs up onto the ring apron, and Milo drops Ace down as he goes for Ruth. She reaches back and nails a slap across the face of Milo so loud and hard that spit flies out of Milo's mouth and the crowd are shocked as hell. The Ace uses this as his chance to attack. He dropkicks Milo from behind and Milo falls forwards, nailing Ruth in the head with his own head. Ruth falls to the floor at ringside. Milo turns around cluthcing his head, Ace hits him in the gut and nails a FameAcer onto Milo. He jumps to his feet, proud of himself before he sees Ruth outside.}
Eric Hardy: Well Ruth may have saved Ace from a Flame's End, but she suffered for it in the end.
Kelly Fox: Well Ruth needs to learn from the first lady of nCw how to work in this business.
Eric Hardy: Didn't Lance Ryan spear you?
Kelly Fox: ....I hate you. {The Ace gets out of the ring to check on Ruth as Milo lays in the ring. Suddenly Milo's eyes snap open, almost as if not of his own will. Milo sits up and rolls out of the ring. He grabs The Ace from behind and slams him backfirst into the ring apron. Milo rolls Ace back into the ring, before following suit. Milo stalks Ace, his hand held high waiting. Ace slowly gets to his feet and walks into Milo's huge hand. Milo lifts him, but Ace kicks Milo in the nuts. Milo hunches over and Ace bounces off the ropes going for a huge FameAcer, but Milo moves out of the way and then catches Ace unawares with a huge chokeslam! The ring shakes with the impact before Milo drags Ace to his feet and simply tosses him over the top ropes.}
ELIMINATED: The Ace Milo drops to a knee as the bell rings and the referee announces him the winner. Ruth checks on The Ace outside, and Milo stands tall awaiting his theme music to hit, but it doesn't. Instead "The Wicked End" by Avenged Sevenfold hits the speakers and the arena dims out.}
Eric Hardy: What the hell is going on? Milo won the match but for some reason Spike is coming out?
{Spike Kane does infact appear at the top of the ramp, the nCw National Championship glistening around his waist. The crowd boo like crazy as the leader of the Empire makes his way down to the ring, a microphone in hand. Spike rolls into the ring, face to face with Milo Holland. Milo looks slightly confused, but a little amused. Spike raises the mic and the music and lights return to normal.}
Spike Kane: Well Milo, first of all congratulations. Congratulations on jumping through your hoops like a good little poochy. Don't worry though Milo, don't fret. I said whoever won tis match would become the number one contender for the nCw National Championship, MY nCw National Championship. Well you won the match Milo, and as you should very well know, I'm a man of my word, as much as I am a fighting champion. You are officially the new National Championship Number one Contender....and your match? Well...that'll be right now!
{Spike dives at Milo, nailing him in the head with the microphone. Spike pummels Milo in the head a few times with the microphone, before throwing it out of the ring. He turns around and unclasps the nCw National Championship and hands it to the referee. The ref holds it up and then the bell is rung as he hands it to the timekeeper. Spike is back on Milo pumelling him in the face. Blood begins to drip down Milo's face, but Milo reaches up and grabs Spike by the throat. Milo gets back to his feet before Spike drops an eblow on Milo's outstretched arm. Spike whips Milo off the ropes and connects with a huge dropkick to the face of Milo Holland. Spike gets back up to his feet and plays to the crowd who boo like crazy.}
Eric Hardy: Now...I've seen Spike pull every trick in the book now.
Kelly Fox: Your just jealous that your not as smart Hardy....
Kelly Fox: Did you see that? Dave Holland was going to cheat but Milo told him not to.
Eric Hardy: I don't know wether it's a rift between the brothers, or wether Milo just wants to prove he can do it alone... {Milo and Spike are on their feet. Milo goes for a clothelines but Spike ducks under, quickly hopping from foot to foot and going for the super-fast-superkick, but Milo as that scouted. He catches Spike's foot and spins him around, catching him by the throat....it's coming! But Spike rakes Milo in the eyes. Milo backs off holding his eyes before Spike hooks him and lifts him up into the air, stalling for the crowd, before dropping with a huge Spike Impailer. The crowd boo like crazy, sensing the end is near. Spike climbs to the turnbuckle, arrogance all but radiating off him, but suddenly non other than Jack Manson is climbing up the ring apron. The ref is immediatly at Manson, and Spike jumps down, mouthing off to Manson about "losing it".}
Eric Hardy: Looks like things aren't settled between Manson and Spike....wait..
Kelly fox: ...IS THAT LANCE RYAN!? {Lance Ryan has indeed snuck into the ring behind Spike. As Spike turns around Lance nails him square with a steel chair. The referee still being distracted by Jack Manson. Lance then drags Spike back to his feet and nails The Train Spike on the leader of the Empire. Spike collapses on the mat and Lance drags Milo over Spike. Lance Ryan drops out of the ring and Jack Manson drops off the ropes. The two men head up onto the rampway to watch the ref count the pinfall. One......Two......Three!!}
Kelly Fox: What!? No!! That was blatant daylight robbery!!!
Eric Hardy: Just like Spike did last week, when he cost Lance his match against John Anhtony.
Kelly Fox: There was no god damn title on the line then! {Spike slowly comes around as the ref is holding Milo's hand up and handing him the nCw National Championship. Milo raises the belt into the air proud and defiant...as Spike looks down the rampway at the grinning Lance Ryan. Spike's face contorts with the utmost rage as he pulls at his hair, whilst "Crimson Tide" by Nightwish plays for the winner and new nCw National Champion....Milo Holland!}
{{Commercial Break}}
Eric Hardy: Up next we have the match that many of us have been waiting for. Lance Ryan requested this match against Reckoning, and it is about to take place. The champion seems to have accepted the fact that Spike is coming for his World Title, and somehow I doubt that we have yet seen the end of the one upmanship going on between these two men. This match could be very good, but it could also bring on some more gang warfare.
Kelly Fox: To be honest, I just can't wait to see that title come off of Lance. He's going to be a father soon anyways, let's be honest, he needs to focus on that.
Eric Hardy: Many a parent has also been a champion Kelly, that's a lame reason. Let's just be honest you hate Lance because he chased Davey out of here.
Kelly Fox: Davey is a thing of the past Eric, this is Spike Kane's time.
Eric Hardy: Well, THIS is Lance Ryan's time. Let's get down to ringside.
{Gangsta s*** by G-Unit blares over the loud speakers and Reckoning steps out to a mixed reaction. He starts walking to the beat. He turns around and points to the stage along with the beat then claps a few times then points again and a huge pyro shoots down in back of him fro mthe rafters, just missing him as he walks down the ramp. He walks down the ramp to the beat holding his middle fingers up in the air. He runs and jumps through the middle rope. He stands up and points his index,thumb, and middle fingers up on each hand and point to the beat. He runs and jumps on the top rope. He points to the crowd pointing to the beat. He does that on all 4 top ropes and jumps down as the song fades.}
Kelly Fox: Here is the man that will defeat Lance this week, much like Anthony did last week.
Eric Hardy: So Spike will come out and cheat to help Reckoning win? You did say the same way right?
{"Fake it" by Seether hits the PA System and the fans in attendance all rise to their feet to see the nCw Champion.
Who's to know if your soul will fade at all
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way
Yeah
The pyro goes off in a line one at a time above the entrance and Lance is standing there with his back to the crowd and one hand raised high in the air, and the world title wrapped around his waist.
Good god your comin up with reasons
Good god your dragging it out
Good god its the changing of the seasons
I feel so raped
SO FOLLOW ME DOWN
Lance turns toward the crowd and take the title off his waist. He holds it high in one hand, whilst slapping hands with some of his fans aside the ramp. When he gets halfway down the ramp he runs the rest of the way and slides under the bottom rope. He lays on the mat for a moment staring at the title that is on the mat in front of him. He jumps u to his feet and goes to the ropes and stands on the second rope holding the title high for all to see.}
Eric Hardy: The champ looks in the best shape that I have ever seen him, arrogant, and ready to go as well. This match should be a good show of where Lance's head is at. Let's get this one underway.
{ The referee checks both men and goes to ring the bell, but Lance stops him and points up the ramp. "The Rising" by Trivium hits and the fans get back on their feet as Reckless Jack and Joe Everyman make their way down the ramp. They both grab chairs from out of the crowd and sit themselves down at ringside, right in front of the rampway.}
Eric Hardy: Well, these two men fought out one hell of a match earlier tonight on the way to crowning our first X Division Champion. Now, as we saw earlier, these two men are now on the same page, and clearly out here to watch Lance's back.
Kelly Fox: This does not look good for Reckoning.
Eric Hardy: Come on Kelly. NWS is not like your Empire, they are here to watch Lance's back in case your boys try and pull something, they will not touch Reckoning.
Kelly Fox: You have GOT to be kidding me. They will be oportunistic, just the same as anyone else. Lance said it himself, a win is a win.
{Lance looks out at his fellow NWS member and turns around to see an oppotunistic Reckoning come charing at him from behind. Lance levels Reckoning with a huge clothesline that takes Reckoning down. Reckoning gets back to his feet and Lance throws him hard into the corner and follows in with a big splas, hold on and delivers a huge bulldog to Reckoning. Reckoning is down in the middle of the ring, and Lance climbs to the top ropes motioning for the fans to get to their feet. Lance motions for the members of NWS outside the ring to watch, and he jumps off the top rope. He does a somersault off the mat lands on his feet and hits a standing moonsault onto Reckoning!}
Eric Hardy: WOW! What a move, Lance told me that he was going to bust an old move out that he used to use called the Flying Fury and I am guessing that that was it!
