“Have It Your Way” by MudVayne blasts into your eardrums as the opening videos and pyros shoot off in every direction. The crowd is roaring with excitement and we meet up with Kelly Fox and Eric Hardy at ringside.
Eric Hardy: Hey, whats going on folks? This is Eric Hardy alongside Kelly Fox bringing you the now Revolution Free, nCw Collision.
Kelly Fox: …..shut up Eric.
Eric Hardy: That’s what I like to hear Kelly. Slump low…..I wanna feed off your sadness!
Kelly Fox: Okay…that was kind of weird. But anyway…yeah we lost. But Adam Knite is champion so…..I don’t know what your bragging about, Hardly.
Eric Hardy: That’s only a matter of time Kelly….anybody could be waiting around the corner to take that title from Knite.
Kelly Fox: Pfft….like who?
Eric Hardy: AJ Phoenix, Angel, ……Steve Awesome?
Kelly Fox: Steve Awesome? What’s he doing here? I thought Harold took him out!
The Tron lights up and we indeed see Steve Awesome. Gingerly stepping out of a vehicle and heading toward the arena doors. You can see his face still bandaged from where the stitches were put in place. A security guard stationed there gives the favorite a welcoming wave.
Guard: “Hey Steve, are you doing okay?
But Steve just blows passed him, not even missing a step. It seems the regular jovial Steve Awesome hadn’t come back to Detroit, Michigan. Instead, he was a man with a motive. He had business to attend to tonight, you could see it in his eyes. A pair of passionate eyes, damp from the tears of sadness and anger he had been holding back. His limbs tense, his teeth gritting together, his breathing quick and rapid. The feed cuts out and returns back to ringside.
Eric Hardy: Oh my….Kelly….I don’t think I’ve ever seen Steve Awesome that visibly upset.
Kelly Fox: After that Homeless Harpoon through the glass window…I’m shocked that the dude is even walking.
Eric Hardy: Well he is….somehow….I wonder what his plans are.
The lights fade to black as a single guitar note blares over the P.A system much like Orton’s old theme. As the drums kick in the lights begin to flash from black to red on beat. Then the guitar begins to rip a good solo as Ronnie Winter starts to wail on the mic.
“YYYYYEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!”
Kelly Fox: Looks like were going to find out right now.
Eric Hardy: Business is about to pick up.
Kelly Fox: And now were officially sued.
“You Better Pray” by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus continues to blast through the P.A speakers and finally Steve Awesome steps through the black curtains the crowd explodes with cheers for him, but Steve wasn’t here tonight to sign autographs. He limps down to the ring as fast as he can go, then he takes the steel steps and climbs into the ring. You could probably hear this hometown crowd all the way to Grand Rapids, chanting and stomping there feet for the Hall of Famer.
Eric Hardy: Well there he is Kelly, the nCw Hall of Famer and current nCw National Champion…..and these people are going insane.
Kelly Fox: Why do people cheer for him? Don’t they remember like four months ago when he told them all to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine?
Eric Hardy: That was then….this is now. You need to quit holding onto the past.
Kelly Fox: Pfft…tell that to everyone who calls me a whore.
Eric Hardy: well…once you being a whore actually ends up in the past…I’m sure people will stop the name calling.
Kelly Fox: ….Now I remember why I fired you.
Steve Awesome stands in the ring, a microphone in hand. His face still displaying the emotions from earlier.
Steve Awesome: What’s up Detroit…..
A cheap pop radiates through the Joe Louis Arena.
Steve Awesome: You know….today was supposed to be a great night. I was going to come out here and tell all my friends and family, all my hometown homies, what an absolute honor it is to be a part of nCw’s illustrious hall of fame.”
Eric Hardy: Steve joins the ranks alongside Lance Ryan, The Brothers Holland, and Spike Kane. The first American to have that right.
Kelly Fox: Thanks Mr. Trivia.
Steve lowers his head.
Steve Awesome: But I just can’t do that. I’ll be honest guys…I really don’t feel much like giving thanks right now. Instead……
He raises his head back up and through gritted teeth he says,
Steve Awesome: Instead….I wanna break someone’s ****ing skull!
Eric Hardy: Oh my….he can’t say that on TV.
Kelly Fox: First week without the Revolution and were already cursing on television.
Steve starts to let the emotion build up again. His fists clench and he finds the first camera he sees and walks right over to it.
Steve Awesome: HAROLD!
Awesome screams his name into the microphone.
Steve Awesome: Harold, you gigantic excuse of a person! You did the wrong thing, to the wrong guy. See…you can punch me out till the cows come home….you can toss me through as many windows in as many arenas as you want…that I don’t care about. But you’ve messed with my FAMILY! My blood…..my sister and her daughter. You kidnapped Hope…and what’s worse….is you used your size…..your intimidation factor…and you forced Jackie into signing over custody. You used her love for me against her you sick son of a BITCH!”
Awesome yelled it so loud he actually spit when he said it. The usual calm and collected Steve Awesome is now a pile of emotions.
Steve Awesome: I just want to find you and make you pay. I want to put you through the same pain that you’ve put me through. I want to hear you scream so loud that God himself can hear it and he’s reminded of the MISTAKE HE MADE!”
Steve is just fuming now. His thoughts are all filling in at once and its hard for him to concentrate so he pauses. But suddenly…the breathing stops…the anger seems to subside and rational thought makes a come back. He steps away from the camera.
Steve Awesome: “But…..I’m not sure that I can.”
He lowers his head….the self doubt filling in like water in a sinking ship.
Steve Awesome: “I’m not sure I can beat you Harold. Last week, at A Night to Remember you put me down like a sick dog with just one punch. One punch was all it took…..just one punch…..everything in my arsenal, every move that I’ve ever learned would be worthless if all it takes…..is just one punch….”
Another pause. He takes a moment to wipe away the tears forming in his eyes. Tears of fear, anger, sadness, frustration, confusion…..he’s just a pallet of emotion.
Steve Awesome: Harold…..I’m going to put it to you like this. If you have some kind of beef with me…..do what you gotta. Beat me, hurt me, break me, hell…..Kill me if that’s what you want……but please…..
Steve drops down to both knees in the middle of the ring in his hometown.
Steve Awesome: please…..I’m begging you……just give Hope back. If there’s a heart somewhere in that chest of yours….please…..just bring her back.
Awesome lowers his head. A sad, broken down shell of a man on bended knees, waits for some kind of answer. The big screen fires up to the sounds of giggling and laughing, the sounds of Hope. Hope stands outside the arena; in front of her a giant hopscotch board is drawn. Harold throws a rock on the board then proceeds to skip along the board with the agility of a legless elephant. He falls and his laughter booms, Hope giggles as well. She rushes over embracing Harold and Harold looks directly at the camera before speaking to her.
Harold: I think it is your turn Hope.
Hope: You are right Harold, here I go…
(She throws the rock and Harold looks at the camera, he speaks)
Harold: Steve, you never taught Hope to play hopscotch did you? Well, that is a shame and also another reason that I am a much, much better uncle then you ever were. Don’t let Jackie fool you, she practically begged me to come over and help raise her child. The child, after the unfortunate death of her father needs a male role model, not a man whore to help. I represent everything you are not, I represent the protection that she needs that you are unable to give her.
(He chuckles and turns, Hope is skipping across the chalk drawn hopscotch pit, Steve is pacing in the ring)
Steve, let me tell you a secret, Mr. Hall of Famer. I am going to induct you into another club tonight; the hopscotch club. Just to show that I harbor no ill will towards you for the lies you have been spreading about me. Feel free to join us, Hope is really doing well…
(He chuckle and the transmission ends, sending the crowd into silence. Steve hops over the top rope and sprints full bore up the entrance ramp.)
Eric Hardy – Looks like we have a confrontation to look forward to.
Kelly Fox: Does Steve know what he is getting into here?
(the camera follows as he picks up a full speed sprint. He runs through the backstage area getting words of encouragement from everyone that he passes, but none offer support as he bursts out the back door. He looks to the left and sees a lead pipe lying on the floor and he picks it up, moving forward cautiously.)
Steve Awesome: Harold, where are you, you son of a bitch.
(the sound of Hope laughing is heard and he runs at it, brandishing the pipe, all his energy focused on saving Hope when he turns the corner he sees a hand drawn hopscotch board. On the ground there is a tape recorder and written in chalk next to the simple phrase, behind you.)
(Steve swallows hard, and is about to turn but he never has the chance. Two massive hands wrap around his throat, he drops the pipe his hands prying away at the mitts encompassing his airway. He is lifted off the ground for a brief moment before Harold moves his head back and rams it forward, headbutting Awesome in the back of his head, Harold speaks)
Harold: I told you I had a surprise, I told you we would have some fun this weekend. I am going to make you like me, I am going to ruin that handsome face of yours.
(Harold crushes Awesome with another sick headbutt, opening a gash on the back of Steve’s head. Steve’s eyes close and Harold drops him on the ground, then he pulls from his pocket a pair of kitchen scissors, he grabs the long flowing locks that hang from the back of Steve’s head and he holds them in the air, and with one slice removes them.)
Harold: Now I can be handsome like you…
(He simply lifts Awesome’s limp body, carrying him into the arena. He drops him on the floor and speaks to a sound guy, Awesome’s hair clutched in his hand)
Harold: This guy needs medical attention…
(Harold laughs as the sound guy yells, someone call 9-1-1)
Eric Hardy – What, what was that?
Kelly Fox – That was one of the most disgusting displays I have ever witnessed, and I am on Harold’s side normally.
Eric Hardy – He is a monster, plain and simple…
Kelly Fox: Steve is definitely fighting an uphill battle with this one.
Eric Hardy: Your telling me. But while Steve is getting help, we gotta get on to our first match of the night.
Kelly Fox: Jack Hammond vs. Kristoff Liam Bates! KLB takes on the X-Division champion. Should be great.
KLB defeats Hammond
{{COMMERCIAL BREAK}}
We cut backstage where The Ace in his locker-room, taping up his wrists. Kathy walks up behind him and puts a hand on his shoulder, he turns around into her embrace with a smile.
The Ace: Happy anniversary, babe...
Kathy smiles at her husband.
Kathy: You remembered!
The Ace: How could I forget the day all my dreams came true...
Kathy: All of them?
The Ace: Well...actually...
Kathy thumps him on the arm lightly before she giggles and the couple share a quick kiss.
The Ace: I'm just sorry I have to spend it working...
Kathy: I forgive you...
The Ace frowns. He decided now was the time to tell her of the kiss.
Kathy: What's wrong babe?
The Ace: I need you to forgive me again...
Kathy: What have you done?
The Ace: Well...Tiffany and I - we kissed last week...I didn't mean for it to happ -
Kathy puts a finger to his lips.
Kathy: I know...
The Ace: You knew?
Kathy: Tiffany told me the night it happened - after you passed out...
The Ace: Why didn't you say anything?
Kathy: I thought I'd give you the chance to come clean on your own...
The Ace: Son of a - and here I was worried sick that I was going to lose you and expecting a slap...
Kathy giggles.
Kathy: You'll never lose me Jake but I still might slap you...
Kathy winks playfully.
The Ace: Oh I hope so...
The couple kiss again before the camera cuts to Amber Ashe stood in the middle of the ring.
Amber Ashe: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is an Xtreme Rules Match...
Then lights turn off as Sweating Bullets by Megadeth starts to blast over the PA. The adults start to boo and the children cower in fear .
As soon as the opening line is said, red, orange and yellow multicolored pyros begin to shot from the front and sides of the stage, firing straight up. Then, the entire stage is engulfed in flames, shooting from every pour of the stage.
The fire splits in the middle as Mark Evil walks out onto the stage, looking off into the crowd. He continues down onto the ramp as the fire builds back up. The adults continue to boo and the children continue to scream in pure terror. As he walks down the ramp, the fire behind him slowly dies down.
Mark Evil stops just before the ring and slowly walks over to the stairs. He slowly walks up them and steps over the top rope to get into the ring. He then raises he arms, and as soon as they drop, the stage and ring posts erupt in bright red pyros, shooting off in all directions. Mark then stops and looks around in the crowd with an evil smirk on his face. He then stands and waits for the match to begin.
Amber Ashe: Introducing first. Standing 7 feet tall. MARK EVIL!
Kelly Fox:I hope this guy destroys The Disgrace here tonight...
Eric Hardy:Mark Evil certainly has been on a roll, but I wouldn't be so quick to count out the former World Heavyweight Champion...
As the opening guitar plays, the titantron shows a small white circle with the 'Spade' symbol within it move across the screen, then as it disappears a larger gun barrel appears from the right and moves with a silhouette of The Ace in it into the centre, the silhouette faces the camera draws a gun and fires. The bullet heads towards the screen before shattering a Jack of Hearts. The Ace appears on stage with the four Aces in his right hand and the rest of the deck in his left hand, and he throws the cards into the air. Huge pyro explodes either side of the ramp as the lyrics to 'You Know My Name' by Chris Cornell begin. Kathy emerges beside him as the titantron shows The Ace delivering Ace-Plants to Phillip Burns and Showtyme. The couple walk down the ramp through the shower of falling cards, Kathy has an arm around her husband's waist.
Amber Ashe: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Kathleen Conway, from Birmingham, England, weighing 246 pounds...THE ACE!
The Ace confidently struts over to the steel steps, and the couple kiss before The Ace climbs them and steps through the ropes. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope. He raises both arms in the air. The Ace then climbs down and he walks to the middle of the ring as the song fades and he winks to his wife.
Eric Hardy:I think its safe to say that this man hasn't been the same since he lost the most prestigious -
Kelly Fox:Second most prestigious prize in nCw to Adam Knite...
Kelly flashes her engagement ring for the cameras with a smile.
Eric Hardy:I take it you're the first?
Kelly Fox:Of course...
The bell rings and Mark Evil immediately uses his size and weight advantage by withstanding a quick clothesline from The Ace. Evil stumbles back a little before shrugging it off and surprising The Ace by wrapping his hand around The Ace's throat, but before he can lift him up, the crafty veteran takes full advantage of the stipulation on this match by kicking Evil in the crotch.
Kelly Fox:Low blows aren't legal...
Eric Hardy:No rules means no disqualification...
Kelly Fox:Damn...
Evil falls to his knees and from the outside Kathy tosses her husband a trashcan lid into the ring. The Ace picks it up and wallops Evil across the head. The Ace then tosses the dented lid aside and follows up with a quick cover...1...2...Mark powers out with authority and sits up looking pissed. Mark gets to his feet as does The Ace who tries to strike Mark with a quick superkick, but Mark catches The Ace's foot inches from his chin and powers The Ace down with a dragon screw leg whip. With The Ace on his back Mark Evil locks in a sharpshooter. The Ace screams out in pain, reaching for the ropes.
Kelly Fox:Tap out! Tap out!
Eric Hardy:The Ace could be in real trouble here...
The Ace edges closer to the ropes, but they are still just out of reach. Evil drags The Ace back to the centre of the ring, and sits down, increasing the pressure on The Ace's lower back. The crowd are cheering and chanting for The Ace and seemingly inspired by their belief in him, The Ace uses both arms to push himself up, with a scream and a sudden rush of adrenaline, The Ace crawls forward and manages to grab the bottom rope with one hand, but since there are no disqualifications, all the referee can do is suggest that Evil break the hold.
Kelly Fox:Haha, no DQ rules!
Eric Hardy:I don't think Mark is in any hurry to break the hold...
The crowd start booing as Mark maintains the hold a little while longer, and Kathy is growing visibly irate on the outside, screaming at the referee that her husband was in the ropes but to no avail. Mark finally breaks the hold laughing at the look of horror on Kathy's face. Relieved and barely conscious through the pain, The Ace rolls under the bottom rope, and into the arms of his wife who supports him as he limps.
Eric Hardy:The damage may be done here...
Kelly Fox:Get back in the ring so Mark can finish the job, you coward...
The Ace taps his legs trying to get the feeling back in them and when he is confident that he can stand without his wife's support, The Ace goes over to a fan in an old Ace T-Shirt and takes his lemonade cup to refresh himself. Mark Evil leaves the ring at this point and starts stalking Kathy. Kathy screams and The Ace sees this and runs at Mark, nailing him from behind with a jumping neckbreaker on the outside.
Eric Hardy:Kathy was in trouble and The Ace just saved his wife from that monster...
Kelly Fox:Who cares?
With Mark down, The Ace lifts up the apron and throws a trashcan into the ring, and a steel chair. The Ace then finally grabs what he was looking for and seems mesmerized by the sledgehammer now in his hands. The crowd are cheering, and The Ace stalks Mark Evil, waiting for him to get up. As Mark stumbles back to his feet and turns around, The Ace drives the head of the hammer into Mark Evil's gut, flooring him. The Ace then abandons the hammer and pulls Mark back to his feet, before rolling him back in the ring, under the bottom rope.
Eric Hardy:Smart by The Ace, he knows pinfalls don't count on the outside.
Kelly Fox:Come on Mark...
The Ace immediately goes for the cover by hooking the far leg...
1...
Kelly Fox:NO!
2...
Kelly Fox:Damn it!
Mark Evil barely rolls a shoulder out, surprising everybody, including The Ace.
Kelly Fox:Yes!
Eric Hardy:That had to be pure instinct right there!
The Ace gets a little frustrated and signals to his wife to look under the apron for his steel roulette rake. Kathy soon finds it and hands it to her husband who grins as he extends it. With it fully extended The Ace turns around to see Mark back on his feet. The Ace takes a swing at Evil's head, but Mark ducks it and instead nails The Ace with a huge spinebuster, that sends The Ace crashing down to the mat, and the rake flying out of his hand. However Mark doesn't go for the cover and instead uses the opportunity to go out of the ring and pull out a table from under the apron. Kathy tries to stop Mark from taking it into the ring, Mark grins as he gets an idea. He then sets it up on the outside and grabs Kathy by the hair before she can run away. The Ace is still down as Mark sets up Kathy in a powerbomb position. He hoists her onto his shoulders as she tries some punches to his head, Mark spins her around a full 360 degrees but before he can plant her through the table, Kathy manages to avoid harm by hopping off his shoulders behind him at the last second. Kathy lands on the steel steps and wastes no time in grabbing Evil's head from behind and driving him down with a modified neckbreaker on the steel steps.
Eric Hardy:Kathy saved herself there just in time and showed that she can be just as quick thinking as her husband...
Kelly Fox:I still beat the psycho...
Eric Hardy:Even so, I guess Kathy is not just another helpless valet. It must have felt good to her to get a little measure of revenge for all the things Mark said about her and her daughter...
Kathy then walks down the steel steps that have not budged and uses them to assist her to get a dazed Mark back to his feet, The Ace is now up and pulls Mark up onto the apron, and attempts to suplex the big man back into the ring, but he cannot. Instead Evil drives his shoulder into The Ace's gut to create some distance before stepping back into the ring and both men trade blows for a while. Mark gets the upper hand and irish whips The Ace across the ring and on the rebound looks to hook him up for a Russian Leg Sweep but The Ace counters the attempt into a Russian Roulette before trying for a cover...1...2...Mark Evil kicks out.
Eric Hardy:Mark is withstanding everything that The Ace is throwing at him here.
Kelly Fox:The bigger they are, the harder they are to keep down!
The Ace then gets a little frustrated and pulls Mark back to his feet and sensing the injured neck from earlier, strikes with The Upper Hand and a cover...1...2...Mark somehow again surives. The Ace then taps his thigh as he waits for Mark Evil to get up and goes for the FameAcer, but Evil counters and remains standing as The Ace leaps up in the air and lands on his ass. Mark ceases the opportunity to set up the chair that Ace threw in the ring earlier into position on the mat.
Kelly Fox:Evil with another great counter...
Eric Hardy:But you have to believe the neck injury is still going to be a factor here...
Mark then kicks a stumbling Ace in the gut and sets him up for a double underhook facebuster onto the steel chair, but The Ace counters the move by spinning out of it and nailing Evil with a quick Reversal of Fortune cutter, burying his face into the steel chair. However The Ace is too drained to follow through with a cover and so the referee starts his ten count on both men down in the centre of the ring. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...The Ace nips up back to his feet much to the delight of his wife and the crowd. Mark is also back to his feet and tries a clothesline with his forearm wrapped in barbwire but The Ace ducks the attempt and instead catches Mark in a front facelock.
Eric Hardy:Could be Ace-Plant time here...
Kelly Fox:I hope not...
Mark uses his brute strength to power out of the attempt before grabbing The Ace by the throat. In his vice grip The Ace struggles as he is lifted into the air and turned around away from the chair, The Ace counters with a huge DDT and both exhausted men are again down. The Ace somehow wills himself to turn over and rape an arm across Mark's chest...1...2...3...NO! Mark somehow gets a shoulder up again.
Eric Hardy:My God! I thought it was over right there!
Kelly Fox:Ok, I'll admit it, so did I!
The Ace cannot believe it, and with wide eyed contempt and rage The Ace then sets up the trashcan from earlier by laying it on its side in the middle of the ring. Mark gets back to his feet and is promptly whipped across the ring into the opposite turnbuckle. The Ace then runs across and leaps onto the middle rope where he stands striking with piston right hands to Marks face as the crowd count along. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...The Ace pauses to do a pelvic thrust in Mark's face, but before he can deliver the final tenth blow, Mark catches him and hoists him onto his shoulders. Mark then steps out of the corner and stops infront of the trash can, where he gives Ace a three sixty spin before planting him down, spine first into the trashcan...
Kelly Fox:Xtreme M.E. Bomb!
Eric Hardy:That's it, this one is over! Mark Evil has pulled off a huge upset victory here...
But before Mark can capitalise with the pinfall, The Ace rises up and grabs Mark's head and arm into a modified triangle choke with his legs.
Eric Hardy:Wait a minute! What's this?
Kelly Fox:No, no, no, not Hell's Gate...we've seen Ace use this hold before to choke out Hammond...
Eric Hardy:Out of nowhere, The Ace strikes with that deadly submission.
Mark Evil falls limp after several moments of trying to fight it, blood begins to seep from Evil's mouth as the bell rings and Ace wins the match due to knockout.
Eric Hardy: And Ace wins the match!
Kelly Fox: Good victory... I guess.... that jerk.
Amber Ashe: And here is your winner...by submission...THE ACE!
The Ace then leaves the ring as 'You Know My Name' plays, and he and Kathy leave arm in arm up the ramp together. On top of the stage, they turn around and look at Joe tending to his brother and The Ace can be heard saying 'Happy Anniversary Darling' to Kathy before the triumphant couple kiss, celebrating their first year of marriage on a high.
{{COMMERCIAL BREAK}}
Eric Hardy: This feud between Dirty Deal and the Lords of Destruction just won't go away. They feuded over Amber and now over the Xtreme title. Not to mention Amber willingly taking their side at A Night to Remember. It's like right when you think this feud is over, it heats up again.
Willy Carter: Pretty much.
I'm too sexy for my shirt
Sexy Jason comes out from the curtain with Jade He points to her as she sways her hips and the crowd whistle whilst Jade looks at Jason's abs. You can hear him saying I'm buff and she's the stuff referring to Jade as they walk to the ring. Jade then hops up on the apron in front of Jason, and Jade does the splits whilst Jason just admires the view from behind, she then slides under the bottom rope. She then goes to a turnbuckle stands on it and flicks her hair back and the crowd again says Its not sexy unless Sexy Jason says so! She jumps off the turnbuckle and goes to a second turnbuckle, she stands on it and again flicks her hair back and the crowd says Its not sexy unless Sexy Jason says so! She jumps down and get ready for her match
Eric Hardy: Jade is related to the resident big man, Jackhammer and has received wrestling training from her new boy friend, Sexy Jason, Amber has a tall order on her hands tonight.
Willy Carter: Where as we have nothing but sexy awesomeness before us.
The lights begin to flash as "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC hits the speakers. Ron Gibson and Curtis Kanyon with Amber Ashe emerge from the entryway. Ron looks out to everyone at attendance as Curtis pounds his chest with his fists and then raises his arms in the air. Russell Jenkins comes out behind them, with a briefcase in hand. Ron displays a look of disgust, as he sees people of all races booing his ass. He ignores them because of who they are and continues walking down the ramp ever so slowly. Starring into the crowd. Curtis walks alongside him with Amber in between, screaming about how he's going to rip his opponents tonight in half. Mr. Jenkins just follows them along. Ron and Curtis enter the ring followed by Amber. Curtis climbs one corner and pounds his chest again, showing off to the audience. Ron gets up on the opposite corner and yells obscenities at certain fans. They then meet in their corner and talk strategy until the match begins as Amber rolls her wrists.
Willy Carter: Do you think Amber made a Dirty Deal with Ron?
Eric Hardy: I don't even want tot think about it.
Willy Carter: I do, not that I'm a fan of that white trash, Ron Gibson, but damn, Amber is smoking.
Jade doesn't wait for the bell as she comes up from behind and clubs Amber. Amber falls to the ground as Dirty Deal are ushered out of the ring. The ref calls for the bell as Jade slams Amber's face into the canvas over and over again. Jade stands up and rips Amber up by her hair and then throws her into the ropes. Dirty Deal pull Amber out of the ring before Jade can do anymore harm.
Eric Hardy: Jade took the fight right to Amber.
Willy Carter: And it was good. Giggity.
Ron is talking to Amber, trying to shake it out of her, she smacks him and he smiles and screams "YEAH!" She rolls back in the ring and gets to her feet. Jade runs at her going for a spear but Amber side steps it and Jade lunges through the ropes right into Ron's waiting arms. Curtis immediately jumps up on the apron and tries to distract the ref, but the ref isn't having it as he screams at Ron to put Jade down. Jason and Jackhammer rush around the ring, Ron drops Jade on the ground and moves around the ring, Curtis follows him. Sexy Jason tends to Jade as Amber yells for her to get back in the ring.
Eric Hardy: Jade took a hard fall right there.
Willy Carter: And look at Amber act like she had something to do with it.
Eric Hardy: It's amazing how fast Amber's character has changed since she hooked up with Ron.
Willy Carter: I sort of like the new her, she's edgy and sexy, instead of just boring and sexy.
Jason helps Jade up and shes gets back in, but this time Amber comes running at her and basically throws herself down on top of Jade with both of her fists pounding Jade in the back. Jade is trying to pull herself away but Amber has let out the monster as she hits Jade in the back over and over again. Jade finally grabs the ropes and the ref pulls Amber off.
Willy Carter: Giggity.
Eric Hardy: I think Willy has found something he loves more than Xtreme Matches.
Willy Carter: Goo.
Jason tries to say something helpful to Jade as she gets up. Jade runs across the ring and goes for a clothes line but Amber ducks it and Jade hits the ropes where Ron trips her up and sends her flat on her face. The ref warns Dirty Deal and threatens to send them backstage. Amber pulls Jade to her feet and throws her into the ropes.
Eric Hardy: I honestly didn't think Amber would do all that great her tonight, but look at her go.
Willy Carter: Leonard sure can hire em.
Amber backs up and runs in with a boot to the face of Jade, then she goes for a clothes line of her own but Jade comes back to life and grabs Amber around the throat. Jade whips around and throws Amber into the turnbuckles now, every time Amber goes to move, Jade rocks her with a big right hand that sends her flying back into the corner. Jade grabs the ropes and uses them as leverage as she brings her right foot up and applies a choke to Amber Ashe.
Eric Hardy: And Jade is trying to choke the life out of Amber with that foot to the throat, better mind the four count.
Willy Carter: Jade is amazingly flexible.
Eric Hardy: Not to mention rather impressive as a wrestler.
Willy Carter: That too.
The ref counts to four and Jade breaks the hold. Jade brings her leg down only to land several hard kicks to Amber's mid section which drops her on her butt. Jade backs up and insights the crowd as she runs across the ring looking for a Bronco Buster. She hits and much to the enjoyment of the crowd, Lords of Destruction, and even Dirty Deal.
Willy Carter: Giggity giggity goo.
Eric Hardy: Wow...
Jade pulls Amber to her feet and hits her with a Fisherman's Suplex. From there Jade heads to the top rope. Dirty Deal try and get back on the apron but Jason and Hammer run into the ring, Hammer booting Curtis off the apron and Jason spearing Gibson off the apron. Hammer climbs to the outside as Jade comes off the top with a bull dog on Amber Ashe, or the Face Lift, then she makes the pin.
Eric Hardy: Jade calls that the Face Lift.
Willy Carter: High impact bulldog for the win.
One.. Two.. Three!!!
Willy Carter: I've gotta say I loved this match more than I thought I would.
Eric Hardy: Uh oh, all hell is breaking loose on the outside.
Dirty Deal and Lords of Destruction are ripping each other apart on the outside of the ring as security makes their way down to break it up.
The Tron flickers and we are brought backstage to the office of Chris Diamond. He's seated at his desk, with a neck brace on. He looks like every breath is causing him a great deal of pain. He waits for the roar of the crowd to die down before he speaks.
Chris Diamond: Last night on Trauma I took on my little brother Rob Diamond.
The crowd boos at the mention of Rob's name.
Chris Diamond: I gave it my all, but as it turns out, Rob got the win, but he got more than that. Rob was out for blood Saturday night, and he got it, because Saturday night I wrestled my last match ever. Rob pile drove me on the concrete floor, gave me a Diamond Cutter, then felt the need to lock me in his Sweet Dreams submission hold.
A "Rob Sucks!" chant starts.
Chris Diamond: Congratulations Rob, you finally killed Maniac, you finally defeated me. But don't think I'm just going to go quietly into the night Rob. See, you and my son have a score to settle, and when you do, I'll be there, watching, waiting for the chance to take my revenge. Good luck in the Elite 8, your going to need it.

The Pretender by the Foo Fighters starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place. 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. 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 esque jump. 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.
Kelly Fox: If it isn’t Joe “I suck more than” Everyman.
Eric Hardy: You know, I didn’t miss you at all, Kelly. You’re mean. I like Joe, he’s the underdog everyone loves.
Kelly Fox: To HATE.
The somber tones of the song fills the arena as the lights from right to left alternating between white and a deep rep, almost in a marching pattern
"It feels so good to be back.."
Xavier steps out from behind the curtain black hoodie and bandanna on, he walks down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope, he takes off his bandanna and his hoodie and he paces around the ring, a look of determination on his face
Eric Hardy: I love Xavier, he’s one of the best X-Division wrestlers out there.
Kelly Fox: He lost to JACK HAMMOND. He has like 100lbs over Hammond. How do you lose to that midget?
Eric Hardy: Because Hammond has heart?
Kelly Fox: Yeah…heart can get you EVERYTHING here, huh.
Eric Hardy: You’re HEARTLESS so I guess you’d never know.
The bell rings and both men come at one another like this is an actual match in the Elite 8 tournament. Joe is throwing himself at X, the slightly larger man, as if he’s got nothing to lose. Lefts and rights are being thrown by Joe while Xavier is throwing his own right back at Joe. The match is furious, fast, and one can only wonder if Joe is going faster because he wants to be at home or if he’s afraid his “brother” is a danger to his masculinity. Everyman and Williams lock up as the crowd follows their actions with ripe anticipation. They battle for strength, and Xavier nails Joe with a German Suplex. Xavier holds on and spins around doing his Tribute to Eddie, hitting yet another German Suplex, wearing Joe Everyman down just a little bit more. He holds on, to the crowd’s dismay for a THIRD time. Finally letting go and watching as Joe gets hurled across the ring on the release. Xavier covers; One…Two…THR-KICKOUT!
Eric Hardy: An early near-fall, this isn’t good for Joe.
Kelly Fox: Joe Sucks, can we call the match now?
Eric Hardy: No matter how much you hate EVERYONE here, Kelly, we have to watch the match as it goes, not jump to conclusions.
Joe is a little slow to get up, still shaking off the cobwebs from the Three Amigos that were delivered by Xavier Williams. But Xavier is not too keen on letting Joe get back up. He knees Joe in the face as he gets to his feet, knocking him onto his back and forcing him to use the ropes to get back to his feet. The crowd is 100% behind Joe getting back to his feet, however, as Xavier is definitely not the fan favorite in this match.
Kelly Fox: Where are we? Alabama? Look at all the black hate on Xavier.
Eric Hardy: Just because the fans are behind Joe doesn’t mean they are racist.
Kelly Fox: So says one of the biggest KKK members my father employs, right Eric?
Eric Hardy: That’s a low blow, Kelly…low blow.
Joe is back to his feet and gets straight to throwing himself at Xavier Williams once more. Xavier is reeling after a few hard lefts to his face when Joe pulls a MISSILE DROPKICK out of left field. The crowd goes berserk as Joe is now the one with the upper hand. Joe leaps to the top rope and flips off backwards for a mammoth Moonsault. He hooks the leg and the ref counts the cover; One…Two…THREE! NO! Xavier gets the shoulder up at the last second.
Eric Hardy: Close call for Joe.
Kelly Fox: Joe couldn’t win if he had my man’s skills and body.
Eric Hardy: So when is the last time Adam beat Xavier?
Kelly Fox: Uh…
Eric Hardy: Exactly.
Joe and Xavier are back to their feet, the fans are really getting into this match. They lock up in the middle of the ring and Xavier nails Joe with a hammerlock, but Joe reverses with one of his own. Joe’s hammerlock, then, gets reversed into an armbar as they both have gone back to the 1980s and are unleashing some classic technical back-and-forth on us.
Kelly Fox: TIME WARP!
Eric Hardy: Wait…you’re excited about this?
Kelly Fox: Actually I was trying to make fun of them going back in time with their moves. This isn’t 1989, it’s 2009…come to the present you two.
As if Xavier hears Kelly, he kicks Joe before running at the ropes. As he comes back Joe turns around only to have his head taken off by a DECAPITATION LARIAT!
Kelly Fox: And Joe’s head is now in the next county. Thank you Xavier.
Eric Hardy: That’s mean to say, Joe’s head is still there.
Kelly Fox: Someone is taking my words a little too literal…dunce.
Xavier knows this is the beginning of the end. He mounts the turnbuckles and soars through the air with a 450 Splash, hooking the leg. One…Two…THREE! NO! Joe kicks out just in time. Xavier is not very happy. The fans are on their feet as Xavier lifts up Joe Everyman to his feet, only to grab him and TAKE HIM TO THE GROUND WITH THE GEORGIA SCORCHER!
Kelly Fox: It’s over…there’s no way Joe can kick out of that.
Eric Hardy: It’s not over till Xavier gets his hand raised.
Xavier pins, ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! NO!!!!! JOE KICKS OUT! The fans go BERSERK as Xavier now is arguing with the ref about it being a slow count. This gives Joe just the opportunity to get back to his feet, though still full of cobwebs he sees Xavier turn around and before either of them knows what happened, JOE HITS THE TWIST OF FATE! Both men are down.
Kelly Fox: HOLY ****!
Eric Hardy: Did Joe just hit the Twist of Fate after getting the Georgia Scorcher?
Kelly Fox: Both men are down and the fans are just going insane. This is…actually KIND of good.
The ref counts…1…2…3…4…Both men are still barely moving on the ground. The crowd is chanting for them to get up along with a rampant “nCw” chant. 5…6…7…Joe and Xavier are to one knee, almost up. 8…9…Joe and Xavier are both up and the ref stops his count. The fans are on their feet once again as both men stumble toward one another, how much more do they have? Joe is throwing lefts and rights at Xavier once again but Xavier knows, deep down, he’s got to pull out something to win, anything. And quick as lightning, it happens. Xavier kicks Joe in the face, and as he falls he lifts him up onto his shoulders, upside down.
Eric Hardy: Oh my god…don’t tell me this is the Burning Hammer 2.0.
Kelly Fox: You mean the Psycho Driver that has only been used a handful of times by Super Dragon?
Eric Hardy: This is over…Joe’s finished.
Xavier connects with the Burning Hammer 2.0, hurling Joe down onto his head with the massive driver. Xavier has a cocky smile on his face as he covers. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!
Kelly Fox: Joe is not moving…I think he’s dead.
Eric Hardy: That’s what people look like after that move…but Joe was not going to be put down easily, he proved that.
Kelly Fox: Xavier Williams just got a leg-up in the Elite 8 by beating Joe Everyman right here tonight.

Eric Hardy: This match is ready to get underway and I can't wait to see Angel and Burns put the screws to those three again.
Kelly Fox: Shut up Hardy. It appears that Falcon and Angel.. former best friends will be starting this match off.
Eric Hardy: This should be Phoenix.
{Angel and Falcon circle each other uncomfortably until they meet in the middle of the ring and lock up. Angel takes Falcon's arm twists it and attempts to flip Falcon over but Falcon lands on his feet and jerks on Angel's arm, flipping him over. Falcon gets to his feet and crouches down, he screams fro Angel to get back to his feet.

Falcon drags Angel over tot he corner where he tags in Knite who climbs into the ring.}
Eric Hardy: Great.... you're going to get all excited now aren't you?
Kelly Fox: Who wouldn't get excited about the world champion entering the ring?
Eric Hardy: People with common sense?
{Knite pulls Angel off the ground and pushes him into the air with a gorilla press, he turns Angel and throws him into Falcon's hands who hits an X-Factor face buster. Falcon climbs to the apron and Knite covers Angel 1....2.... but Angel has the foot on the ropes. Adam pulls Angel back to his feet and shoves him into his corner where Harold takes hold of Angel's arms.

Eric Hardy: They are going after Angel relentlessly right now.
Kelly Fox: Of course, they are giving that traitorous scum, how he deserves.
Eric Hardy: Yeah.... beat a guy because he did what was right... nice.
Kelly Fox: Doing “what's right” is sticking with the people who've had your back for months.
{Falcon backs away and Angel comes staggering out of the corner in a daze, Falcon catches him with a kick and then goes for the Aerial Spike but Angel refuses to budge and instead takes hold of Falcon's legs and flips him behind his back, sending Falcon flipping back first into the turnbuckles. Angel falls to his knees before scrambling across the ring and slapping Phoenix into the match. Seeing Phoenix in the ring Harold slaps Falcon and then enters the ring.}
Kelly Fox: Things are about to get real nasty now....
Eric Hardy: Look at the look on AJ's face..... he wants some of the Homeless wonder.
{ AJ rushes at Harold and throws blow after blow staright to Harold's mask, driving him backwards. Harold throws up his arm to blow a blow but as he does AJ kicks forward catching Harold in the gut. AJ takes the Homeless one by the head and runs him into his corner where Burns has his boot on the ropes and drives Harold into it. Harold holds his head in pain as he turns to deck Burns but Phoenix grabs his arm and head from behind and hits a falling neck breaker. Phoenix gets up and slaps Burns into the ring. They lift Harold off his feet and hit a double suplex before Phoenix heads to the apron.}
Eric Hardy: Angel's team has turned the tide now.
Kelly Fox: It won't last.
Eric Hardy: Says you.
{Burns pulls Harold up and looks to hit a Burn Notice, but takes two quick elbows to the side of the head driving him back, Harold takes Burns by the arm and whips him into the ropes and when he comes back hits the Battering Ram! Both men are laying on the mat in obvious pain.}
Eric Hardy: Ouch, that move looked like it hurt Harold more than Burns....
Kelly Fox: I can't claim to understand Harold's tactics... but he's seemed to make them work for him.
{Burns and Harold both go to their corners crawling, Burns leaps at Angel and slaps him in, Harold leaps at Knite and suddenly.... Suddenly the lights go out in the arena and the fans gasp out loud. The lights come back on and Falcon is down on the floor outside the ring. Suddenly, the nCwTron lights up....}
Eric Hardy: What's going on... the lights just went out...
Kelly Fox: How am I supposed to know.
Kelly Fox: What the hell... Falcon is laying knocked out on the outside?!
{As the lights come back on Everybody is looking to the outside at Falcon.... except Angel... Angel runs at Knite and hits the Revolations! Angel covers and before Harold can even turn around and look 1....2....3!}
Eric Hardy: Angel just pinned the world champion!
Kelly Fox: Wait... what... NO!
Eric Hardy: Angel has won this match, but the question is... who just attacked Falcon?
Kelly Fox: This is BS!
Eric Hardy: To you maybe, but fans our time is up, make sure to tune in next week!
{And with that Collision fades out on the shot of Falcon laying on the floor.}
