DARK MATCH
The Burning vs. Frostbyte
This match was very close, both men gave tremendous effort. Frostbyte in his debut match was looking to make a name for himself and really had Burning against the ropes so to speak. However Burning was able to capitilize off a Chill Factor attempt, instead power bombing him off the top rope and then locking in the Emergin' Sea STF. Frostbyte never tapped out, but the referee ended the match, giving Burning a win in his redebut.

{“There and Back Again” begins to play as Collision kicks off as normal. We are taken directly to our first match this week as Eric Hardy and Willy Carter are ready to go.}

Eric Hardy: Well here we go fans, it's time for another exciting week of nCw wrestling action!

Willly Carter: I can't wait... what a card we have before us.

Eric Hardy: Some great stuff indeed.

Sparks begin to fall across the stage, leaving the stage filled with brilliant bright colors. Behind the sparks, is a man, wearing a shirt, a wet towel draped over his head, a black shirt, his jeans, and boots all ready for action… Lupe Fiasco cuts in slowly…

Lemme put you on game (gunshot) Lemme put you on game

Behind the curtain slowly walks Xavier Cross. His head down, walking slowly, his foots stepping to the beat of the song. Some of the fans cheer, some who know him just stare at the man he has become. Some just sit quietly, but the room is a buzz. Making his way halfway down the ramp, Xavier rises his head, his old smirk fades around his lips, but slowly goes to straight lips, numb washing over his emotions. His hands reach for the towel, jerking it off his head, and throwing it into the crowd.

[Song Lyrics]

Sliding into the ring, he holds his arm up, as he stands, rotating all the way around looking at the crowd. He rises himself up on the turnbuckle, removing his shirt, and throwing it high into the crowd. He drops down to his feet, leaning into the corner, cracking his taped knuckles, waiting for the bell.

[Song Lyrics]

Xavier Cross stands in the ring waiting for Matthew Kahne to come out. Then, the titan tron lights up with a video from backstage. Matthew Kahne is lying against the wall, bleeding heavily from the forehead, with a bent steel chair lying next to him. Chris Kahne and Scotty Callaway then come running up to check on him. Matthew is knocked out and isn’t moving. Chris Kahne then grabs a microphone and looks into the camera.

Chris Kahne: Well…as you can see, Matthew has been incapacitated by someone…therefore, he will not be able to compete in his match.

Just then, EMTs roll up with a stretcher. Back in the ring, Xavier Cross is still looking confused at the screen.

Announcer: Here is your winner via forfeit…Xavier Cross.

Willy Carter: Well folks…it looks like Xavier Cross will be going to Last Stand to compete for the number one contendership for the X-Division Championship by a very odd ending.

Eric Hardy: At least he will be well rested for the pay per view, not having to fight this weak will be a good break.

Eric Hardy: Well, whey the EMT's tend to Kahen we'll be right back, just a short break fans.

*There's an otherwordly hum of noise reverberating over the speakers. The lights throughout the arena rise to blinding levels. It's an actual whiteout. Moments later the lights all shut off as the music falls silent. Then as the first chords of Knights of Cydonia by Muse begins to play the laser lights start flicking across the room. The nCw-tron plays a video of someone in darkness training for a fight. During this time a light mist covers the stage. As the guitar becomes slowly more prominent the lights start coming up again to normal levels... but there's no one on the stage. The Guitar performs a slide as the lights slide back to dark with it. At the end the song jumps to the main guitar solo of the song. At the same time everything kicks off together and an explosion of white fireworks explodes about the tron as out onto the stage steps the man they've all been waiting for... Dave Holland. Not the usual energetic self and for very good reason. He's stepping out on crutches. His right foot still kept in a cast from the vicious assault of Milo two weeks ago.*

Hardy: Oh my god... the man's not fit to compete.

Carter: It's not that bad.. this is just to get all the documents filled out for the match next week... there's no fighting this week.

Hardy: Have you ever seen one of these things not descend into violence?

Carter: Yes.... once... a long time ago...

Hardy: And of the two who d'you think is more likely to start it?

Carter: Alright, you've made your point.

*Dave makes his way to the ring, acknowledging his fans as best he can. The ring is covered with a simple tarp. Also in the ring is a briefcase on a table and a few officials to witness proceedings, among them Head Official Bob Maiville and Chief of Security The General. Dave climbs in with obvious difficulty and greets them all before taking his place to one side of the table.*

Carter: Now all we need is the second party.

Hardy: Here they come now.

*The arena blacks out as all the lights drop. The stage is slowly covered with a fog as a heartbeat sounds over the speaker systems. Beat by beat the lights start to return but they only glow with a red light and the light never exceeds a very dim level. The heartbeat speeds up as onto the ncw-tron appear images. Twisted, distorted images of a large man. Photographs are shown torn in two. These images are slightly clearer and all show people we have witnessed in nCw. Dave Holland and Castor Holland, always accompanied by Milo Holland. Onto the stage steps the man himself, Milo Holland. Slightly behind him as always stands Conrad Jones, possibly the most hated man in nCw. Guitars kick in, whining away as Milo starts his way slowly down the ramp. The braver fans in the crowd boo him and his manager but the rest keep quiet. Milo reaches the base of the ramp as the music, now recogniseable as Crooked X's Nightmare, changes to the heavier sounding guitar, flames erupting back on the stage as the first chord hits. Milo makes his way into the ring with no regard for anyone. His eyes fixed on Dave alone, his face visibly repressing rage, disallowed to be unleashed upon him tonight. The lights return to normal but this newly fallen Milo doesn't even bat an eyelid. Conrad has joined him in the ring and is even taking the lead.*

Maiville: Ok gentlemen... you know why we're here. Here are the disclaimer contracts for next weeks showdown.

*Bob Maiville opens the briefcase and places two contracts on the table. One towards Dave, the other to Milo.*

Maiville: They state that no matter what happens next week, the nCw is not responsible. After everything you have done to each other...

Milo: He's done nothing... he's pathetic...

Maiville: *more forcefully* To Each Other... the nCw want to see an end to this one way or the other but will not be held accountable for what happens on our property for that match.. understood?

Milo: Perfectly.

Dave: Crystal.

Maiville: But we can't let you compete with that cast on, Dave. Have you been cleared to compete next week?

Dave: Don't worry... this thing'll be off in time.

Maiville: Then if you'd please sign the contracts.

*Dave and Milo step to the table, staring each other down. Conrad stands beside Milo and slightly behind. The brothers each take a pen and place their mark on the contracts.*

Conrad: How about we make this more interesting.

Dave: I'm listening.

Conrad: I'm not finished with you yet. I'm almost done but there's still one more thing I can take from you.

Dave: This oughta be good.

Conrad: I took your sense of security when I trashed your locker room... I took your car when I trashed it... I took your family when I took them into my own custody... and I took your strength when I destroyed your right foot.

*Dave looks down at his foot as he says this, trying to control the anger welling up.*

Conrad: So now... I want to take your career. When Milo...

Dave: If Milo...

Conrad: When... Milo beats you, you will never again set foot in a ring. Not wrestling, not boxing.. hell not even that band of gold on your finger. Never.. ever... again.

*Dave pauses for a moment. He considers his position for as long as he can. He's not at 100%, he knows if he even tries to fight back they still have Alex and Melanie hostage... all in all he's not in a good position.*

Dave: And if I win?

Conrad: Not gonna happen. So I guess I might as well play to the expectations of the pathetic and weak willed out there. If you win, I'll give you Melanie and Alex back.

*Dave smirks.*

Dave: Interesting deal. But I don't think you can pay your half.

*The tron fires up. A darkened room lit by a single candle. Within is Melanie Holland-Black holding her son Alex who's crying. A large burly man enters, presumably a hired goon for Conrad.*

Goon: Will you just shut up!

Melanie: He can't help it, he just wants to go home!

Goon: This is your home. Until Mr Jones is done playing with that pathetic husband of yours anyway.

Melanie: So what am I supposed to do?!

Goon: I dunno.. but if you don't shut him up soon, I'm gonna take a pillow to that kids face.

Melanie: *Now hysterical* No, Please, no!

Goon: Then shut it up!

*He leaves the room. Moments later there's the sound of crashing and conflict. He's thrown back into the room by an unseen figure before he's kicked in the face, knocking him to the floor unconcious. Melanie screams as she sees this but stops when she sees who it was who did the kicking.*

Melanie: Dave!

*Back in the arena, Dave has put down his crutches. The lights come back up as Conrad turns sharply to face Dave only to be met with a Magic Touch! The cast on Dave's foot shatters with the impact revealing a perfectly healthy foot. Security immediately leap in, two holding back Dave and about ten holding back Milo including The General himself.*

Milo: Your ass is mine Holland! I'll kill you!

Dave: Not if I kill you first you b*****d! You're not the god you think you are! You started off winning but I've won this round. One by one, I'll take back everything you stole from me! You hear me Conrad?! EVERYTHING!

Carter: I think we'd best go to commercial break while security deals with this.

Hardy: Agreed, roll commercial!

*The camera cuts to commerical as it looks down on the unconcious Conrad Jones.*

Eric Hardy: Up next we have Jack Hammer taking on his first opponant since winning the National title in surprise fashion last week.

Willy Carter: And he'll be taking on the former Xtreme Champion Sexy Jason.

Eric Hardy: Both of these men have won titles that their detractors said they should have never won.

Willy Carter: Indeed, it should make for a solid match. Two overachievers squaring off.

Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed plays on the PA as JackHammer and Angel come through the curtain, JackHammer with the NCW National title over his shoulder and head down the ramp to the ring. Angel heads to the corner as JackHammer climbs the ring steps, he then stops at the top and raises the NCW National title sending pyros shooting out of the ring posts. JackHammer then steps into the ring over the top rope and removes his duster and bandana.

{I'm too sexy begins blaring over the PA as Jason walks out carrying a mirror staring at himself. The crowd boos as he just smiles and strokes his facial hair enjoying his reflection.}

Willy Carter: What is Jason doing?

Eric Hardy: It would appear that's he's grooming himself...

{Jason pulls out a comb and fixes his hair some before he throws it into the crowd. Jason makes his way to the ring but doesn't enter, he circles around a bit before he finally slides in. He asks for the microphone from Amber Ashe by rubbing her cheeck gently. She smiles and complies and Jason brings the microphone to his lips before he does he checks his teeth in the mirror.}

Sexy Jason: You have got to be kidding me..... look at you Jack Hammer.... you call yourself a National champion? You representing nCw as a champion is a disgrace, you're not sexy enough for that title, hell you're not sexy enough for nCw. nCw is like a fine lady needs somebody classy and handsome to be champion, she needs somebody who is easy on the eyes and can be a recognizable face for the company. You... you look more like the ass end of nCw..... does nCw really need another horses ass parading around as a champion? We already have Ace as a champion.

Eric Hardy: Jason is really giving the new National champion an ear full here....

Willy Carter: I don't know if Jack Hammer is the guy he wants to be ticking off here. He's a big bad dude.

Eric Hardy: They don't come much bigger than Hammer.

{Hammer steps forward and is thrown a microphone as well. Hammer brings it to his lips and is ready to reply.}

Jack Hammer: Look..

Sexy Jason: no please... don't speak. Listening to you speak is worse than looking at you. If I didn't want to ruin this perfect face, I'd much rather drill a hole in my forehead than do either. I'm going to cut to the chase and use small words.... how about you put your National title on the line right now.... that way somebody who deserves the title, somebody who is Sexy enough to be National champion can hold the gold. What do you say!?

Jack Hammer: You know what.... it's your funeral.... so whatever you want.

{Jack Hammer gets in the face of Jason and shoves the microphone into his chest, but suddenly out of nowhere Jason slams the mirror into Hammer's forehead! Glass goes everwhere as blood is coming down Hammer's face, Hammer falls to the mat holding his face. Jason screams at the referee to ring the bell as he climbs the top rope and comes flying off with a Sexy Splash! Norman Dafoe looks confused and Amber Ashe of all people tells him to count, he does and 1.....2...3!}

Willy carter: What in the hell!? No! Sexy Jason can't be National champion!

Eric Hardy: Look at Hammer's face, there is little pieces of glass everywhere, this is disgusting!

{ Jason gets up and jumps around, he runs to Amber Ashe and lifts her up in a big hug. She blushes as Jason puts her down and is handed the national title. Jason begins dancing in the ring with the title around his waist but he doesn't get to celebrate long as Dante Cross's music Cars by Gary Numan suddenly hits.}

Dante Cross: Ok.... wait a damn minute.... if you think I'm going to let the National title change hands like this.... you're out of your mind. This was not a sanctioned nCw title match..... you're not National Champion, I don't care what Hammer agreed to.

Sexy Jason: You can't take my title away from me Cross. This National title.. I'm the only man sexy enough to carry this strap and you know it.... see it's I who doesn't care what you say... Hammer agreed to the match so this title is mine.

Dante Cross: We'll see about that Jason. If you refuse to return the title, there will be severe reprehensions handed out.

Eric Hardy: I don't know what is going on here... so is Jason the champion or not!?

Willy Carter: It appears not, but he's walking to the back with the title still on his waist...

Eric Hardy: Well, we'll have to take a short comercial break while the medics tend to Hammer... I hope he's ok.

Willy Carter: me too Hardy.

The start of Mother f**ker of the year-Motley Crue comes over the PA, the lights dim down as strobe lights follow the first few seconds before the guitar riff explodes, then "The Fallen" AJ Phoenix emerges in a long sleeveless coat with a hood covering his facial features, he makes his way down to the ring and leaps up onto the ring apron he climbs between the ropes and flips his hood back before removing the coat

Willy Carter: “Here’s the one and only AJ Phoenix”

Eric Hardy: “This is of course the Semi finals of the X-Division tournament..and these two have got to be two of the favourite for this...”

Forsaken comes on with the lights dimming.

I'm over it You see I'm falling in a vast abyss

White strobes begin to flicker, Davey Ortega comes out on to the stage, standing in the center. He looks around as the people cheer. He lets out a smile, and begins to walk down the rampway

You see I can not be forsaken Because I'm not the only one

Davey stops dead center of the ramp way, and raises his hands to another pop from the fans. He smiles again, almost basking in the cheers. He then begins to walk again, leaning towards the right side of the fans, letting them touch his arm, occasionally slapping their hands. He walks up the stairs, and into the ring. He runs to the opposite turnbuckle and gets on top, raising his hands as the cameras go off and the fans scream. he hops down and waits.

Willy Carter: “Phoenix vs Ortega part two.,.”

Eric Hardy: “These two have been wanting this for the last month...”

AJ gets face to face with Ortega they trash talk a little and AJ nods before extending his hand, Ortega warily takes it, they shake hands and release cleanly. AJ backs off a little and jumps up and down on the balls of his feet. Ortega stretches a little as the bell rings, they come out into the center of the ring, they go to lock up, they push against each other AJ having the slight three inch height advantage, they push away from each other, AJ points to himself and then does the “belt” motion

Willy Carter: “There’s AJ’s ego”

Eric Hardy: “He whips it out more than he does his co-“

Willy Carter: “Dude!”

They go to lock up again, AJ moves to the side and hits a hard kick to Ortega’s ribs, AJ hits one to his thigh and another, the stiff shots reverberating arpound the arena, Ortega drops to a knee and AJ goes for a roundhouse to the head, Ortega catches AJ’s leg and stands up, he pulls AJ toward him by his leg and hits a stiff euorpean uppercut sending AJ down to the mat, AJ rolls over and shakes it off getting to his feet as Ortega shakes off his leg

Willy Carter: “Fairly cautious start by both men...”

Eric Hardy: “Ortega got in a good stiff shot to AJ’s jaw, that has to rattle him..”

AJ and Ortega end up face to face again, AJ shoves Ortega back, Ortega returns the favour, AJ hits a knife edge chop, Ortega with a forearm shiver, AJ with a chop, Ortega with a shiver, and another, Ortega gets the upper hand and throws AJ into the ropes, AJ comes back, Ortega ducks down going for a back body drop, AJ front flips over Portega as Ortega tries to throw him over, AJ continues into the ropes and goes for a clothesline, Ortega ducks under it and ends up facing away from AJ, Ortega backflips and hits a Pele Kick!, AJ goes down from the stiff shot, Ortega goes for the p[in 1...2..AJ kicks out

Willy Cartyer: “Stiff shot from Ortega!”

Eric Hardy: “I thought Phoenix was out like a light”

Ortega pulls AJ up, he locks in a front headlock trying to choke the breathe from him, AJ drops back down to a knee but Ortega pulls him back up to increase the pressure, AJ drops down again, and again Ortega pulls him up, AJ hits a hard right to the ribs and another, as Ortega losses his grip he hits AJ with a knee to the stomach and a swinging neckbreaker, he pins again 1...2..AJ again kicks out, Ortega goes right back putting pressure on AJ with a ground headlock/sleeper the referee checks AJ’s arm, it drops once, then a second time, AJ keeps it up for the third and starts to fight to his feet, he elbows Ortega in the stomach twice and goes for a back suplex, Ortega lands on his feet, AJ flips back and sideways hitting a corkscrew “AJ-giri”(enzugiri). Both men lay on the mat, AJ trying to catch his breathe and ortega holding his head

Willy Carter: “What a knock out shot from Phoenix”

Eric Hardy: “Both of these guys are killing braincells with those stiff shots”

Ortega rolls from the ring to try and shake it off, AJ gets to his feet and he suddenly launches forward and sprints to the ropes throwing his body over the top onto Davey Ortega with a flipping plancha, both men end up in a heap as AJ tries to pull his way to his feet, AJ gets up first and goes right back to Ortega, he rolls Ortega into the ring and gets on the apron, Ortega gets up, AJ goes for a springboard clothesline, Ortega times a dropkick perfectly and buries his feet into AJ’s chest, AJ gets to his feet holding his chest and stomach. Ortega goes for the “setting sun”(spear), AJ sees it coming and leapfrogs it, Ortega stops himself before hitting the post, AJ turns around and we have a stand off

Willy Carter: “Great action”

Eric Hardy: “I’d say they’re about equal so far”

AJ runs at Ortega, Ortega goes for a clothesline, AJ ducks and springboard off the ropes going for a backflip, he lands bahind ortega and sets him up for the “samaels wish”, as he spins Ortega pushes AJ off, AJ gets into the ropes and turns going for a clothesline, Ortega ducks and goes for the “Saturday Night Ride” (Back flip Urange Slam), he hits it he pins 1...2...AJ kicks out, Ortega can’t believe it, he gets frustrated and hits the mat with his fist. Ortega says “that’s it” and crouches in the corner, he again goes for the “setting sun”(spear), this time as he runs in AJ leaps up and hits a “picture perfect” dropkick, AJ’s too fatigued to get up and do his pose.

Willy Carter: “What a match...”

Eric Hardy: “But who’s gonna win?”

Ortega and AJ get to their feet, as they exchange many blows back and forth, AJ gets rocked by a Huge blow by Ortega, who then quickly backs up and charges for the Setting Sun, however AJ Quickly slide steps it, causing Ortega to slam into the turnbuckle, when AJ quickly schoolboy him, as the referee begins to count...One...AJ puts both feet on the ropes, Two...Three

Eric Hardy: AJ Phoenix has managed to steal this match and becomes the second person in the tournament final!

Willy Carter: I guess you have to do what you have to do...

Eric Hardy: What a shame because this was shaping up to be a fine match, and that had to go and happen.

The beginning ambient swell of "The Day the World Went Away" by Nine Inch Nails plays over the P.A. in the arena. The fans give a mixed reaction to the former "God of Xtreme", Dark Prophet. He slowly walks down to the ring, accompanied by Fate, while the song skips to the "verse".

Amber Ashe: The following contest is a Gang Warfare Tag Team Match, scheduled for one fall, approaching the ring representing Lethal Intent, and accompanied by Fate, from Mineapolis, Minesota, weighing 285 pounds…DARK PROPHET!

Prophet rolls under the ropes into the ring, and the lights rise. Fate takes his place along the apron as Prophet kneels down in the nearest corner. His cold eyes are fixed upon the mat as he waits for the bell to ring.

Hardy: I wouldn’t want to face this man after what happened last week.

Carter: I wouldn’t want to face this man ever!

The lights go out in the arena as the “Savior X “ logo appears on the screen, a giant red “X” with the word “Savior” written across the center of the “X.” Strobe lights begin to flash as Angel appears on the ramp in the “Jesus” pose.

Go Home and Die!

A wall of fire erupts behind Angel as I’m Back by Dope takes over the arena and over shadows the thousands of fans cheering. Angel is heading down the ramp, behind him a burning cross replaces his entrance video as the song begins to pick up.

Amber Ashe: And introducing his partner, representing Social Enemies, from Hartford Connecticut, weighing 225 pounds…ANGEL!

Angel reaches the ring now and runs up the steps. He looks around the arena before grabbing the top rope and leaping up and onto the turn buckle. Angel throws his arms out in the “Jesus” pose again. The fans exploding with cheers. Angel jumps off the top rope and runs across the ring, he jumps up and lands on the second rope in the opposing corner, throwing his arms up in the air trying to get the fans to scream even louder. The music starts to fade out as Angel jumps down and heads to the center of the ring.

Hardy: It’s going to be interesting to see how these mismatched teams work together tonight…

Carter: Not to mention the culmination of grudges that could come to ahead here tonight…

The greatest thing the devil ever did was make you people believe he didn't exist...and you're looking at him right now! I AM THE DEVIL HIMSELF! And with that "A Bid Farewell" by Killswitch Engage hits, and the arena lights go off, matching the beat to the song. Xavier steps out on the stage, his hoodie over his head, and his skull-mouthed bandana over his mouth. He walks down the ramp, he gaze focused on the ring.

Amber Ashe: And their opponents, introducing first representing Social Distortion, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 255 pounds…XAVIER WILLIAMS!

He slides underneath the bottom rope and rolls to the middle of the ring, where is on one knee, his head bowed. "I Will Bid... Farewell" hits and he pounds his fists into the mat and stands up and holds his arms in an 'X' formation. The crowd giving him heat, he takes off his hoodie and takes off his bandana. His smirk on his face, as the lights return to normal.

Hardy: And when you talk about grudges, you have to talk about the problems this man has had with Angel in the past few months…

Carter: Problems may be putting it mildly after their Death Cage match at Picture Perfect…

Thump thump thump, the intro for Stone Sour's "30/30 150" plays over the P.A. as the house lights dim and the strobe lights flash to the beat, a green hue takes over the arena as soon as we hear Cory's vocals "I am a dominant gene, live as I die" pyro go shooting up out of the stage towards the top of the arena and from the back and throw the smoke Kole Kaos comes emerging out, he looks around to each side of the ramp at the peasants booing him, he flicks his nose with a grin and heads down the ramp.

Amber Ashe: And his partner, representing The Corporate Empire, from Seattle, Washington, weighing 250 pounds…KOLE KAOS!

He takes the ring steeps one at a time then enters the ring, he walks to the center where the spotlight shines on him, he looks to his side, then to the front, chuckles a bit at the sad lowly fans, and goes to his corner cracking his neck waiting for the match to start as his music cuts and the lights come back up.

Hardy: And here is the epitomy of arrogance…

Carter: Arrogance is a requirement to be part of The Corporate Empire, Eric…

Xavier spots Angel walk into the middle to start the match for his team, he asks Koas to let him start, but Kaos just shakes his head and goes to meet Angel in the middle of the ring as the bell rings.

“Leave this to me Williams!” exclaims Kaos to his partner with an arrogant smirk, but Angel takes advantage by delivering a couple of stiff right hands to Koas which rock him, Angel then runs back and uses the ropes to rebound with a clothesline that almost takes Kole’s head off. Angel then delivers a perfect standing moonsault, but Kaos brings his knees up into the abs of Angel, before rolling out of the way.

Hardy: Angel thought he was in control early there

Kaos laughs as he sees Angel doubled over rolling about on the mat, Kaos then springs to his feet and kicks Angel in the ribs, then again, and a third time. The crowd are booing mercilessly as Kaos drags Angel up to his feet and slaps him across the face, telling him, “I’m simply better than you, boy!” before delivering a belly to belly suplex.

Hardy: I told you, the epitome of arrogance

Carter: But who can blame the man when he’s so obviously in control…

Kaos walks over to Angel, looking to drag him back to his feet but Angel surprises him by rolling him up into a quick small package…1…2…Kaos kicks out, a little stunned that he almost got caught. Angel does not let that frustrate him and he pulls Kaos back to his feet and signals for the Twist of Fate, but the crafty Kaos is close enough to the ropes to grab them and save himself. Angel backs off, and shakes his head before sticking his foot in Kaos’ jaw, nailing him with a superkick which sends Kaos tumbling through the ropes to the outside. The referee begins his count…1…2…3…4…5…6…Kaos uses the apron to get himself up, clutching his jaw…7…8...Kaos rolls back into the ring, where Angel doesn’t give him any time to recover and keeps stomping him in the gut as the crowd cheer.

Hardy: Angel seems to be aggressive here tonight…

Carter: I think Kole has pissed him off…

Angel then walks back into his corner and tags in Dark Prophet with a smirk. The big man steps through the ropes, his attention completely fixed on Kole, as soon as Kaos sees that Prophet is legal, Kole sits up with his hands in front of him, shaking his head as Prophet advances.

Hardy: This could be a preview of Last Stand right here.

Kole is sat near his corner but he soon realises that his partner Xavier is not there, instead Xavier has a chicken wing in his hand, obviously from the bucket-wielding fan at ringside and he waves back at Kole saying “Go handle it then…” as he chews away.

Carter: I don’t think Xavier cares about his tag team partner anymore.

Hardy: Kaos was so confident that he could handle this on his own so Xavier’s letting him.

Prophet reaches down and grabs Kole by the throat, pulling him to his feet in his vice grip as Kole looks terrified, Xavier takes a swig of lemonade from another fan at ringside to wash down the last of the chicken wing as he walks back to the ring and takes his place in the corner again as Prophet still has Kole in his grasp, staring at him. Xavier reaches over and taps Prophet on the shoulder. As Prophet looks over at Xavier, Xavier spits lemonade into the eyes of Prophet, temporarily blinding him as Xavier pats the back of a released Kole who is still struggling to catch his breath.

Hardy: Xavier just tagged himself in.

Carter: We’re always good at aiming and Xavier just proved it.

As soon as Xavier enters the ring, he delivers a succession of rapid chops to the chest of the big man who is still shaking his head with closed eyes, Xavier forces Prophet back against the ropes before whipping him across the ring. On the rebound, Xavier catches Prophet in a sleeper hold, trying to take out the big man.

Hardy: A sound strategy by Xavier here, if you can make the big man tap, it’ll all be over…

After a few moments, Prophet is down to one knee and seems to be fading in the middle of the ring, when the referee raises his arm once, it falls…twice, it falls…on the third time however Prophet seems to gain a second wind and keeps it raised as the crowd cheer. Prophet manages to stand despite Xavier’s tenacity and somehow reverses it into a modified backdrop which takes its toll on both men as the referee begins his count.

Hardy: My god what amazing power by the Lethal Intent member…

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…Prophet sits up first and snaps his neck in Kole’s direction, glaring at him before looking back at Xavier who is also getting slowly back to his feet. As Prophet gets to his feet, he is met with a running Yakuza kick from Xavier, Xavier wastes no time in trying for a cover…1…2…Prophet powers out and gets back to his feet, he walks over to Xavier and scoops up the smaller man into a sidewalk slam, he covers…1…2…Xavier kicks out as Kole is on the apron begging for the tag, Xavier spots him and quickly crawls over as Prophet simply seems content to stand and let him make the tag, and as Kole is tagged in, Prophet does a cut throat signal which seems to stop Kaos in his tracks, he puts one foot through the ropes then decides against it as he hops off the apron, shaking his head.

Hardy: What is this?

Carter: Kaos seems to be just standing outside the ring as the legal man.

The referee warns Kaos to get back in the ring before he starts his count…1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10…the bell rings as Kaos simply looks on smirking.

Hardy: Kaos just cost his team the victory…

Prophet looks annoyed as Xavier yells at Kaos who is laughing.

Amber Ashe: Here are your winners by countout…ANGEL AND DARK PROPHET!

Xavier turns around and Prophet grabs him by the throat and glares at Kole before planting Xavier with a chokeslam.

Hardy: I think Dark Prophet just sent a message to Kole Kaos.

Carter: That was crystal clear…

The referee raises Angel’s hand as Prophet just glares at a smirking Kole, backing up the ramp. Prophet then walks up to his partner, grabbing him by the throat, staring back at Kole, before planting him with a Chokeslam From Hell too…the referee tries to restrain Prophet but Prophet just lets out a primal scream before grabbing the referee by the throat too, Prophet screams ‘Kill Kaos!’ before hitting the third and final chokeslam on the terrified referee as his music hits and he glares at Kole…

Hardy: My god, Dark Prophet has been enraged by the actions of Kole and took his frustrations out on his tag partner and the official too…

Carter: I wouldn’t want to be Kole this Sunday…

Suddenly Prophet’s music cuts and is replaced by ‘One Girl Revolution’ and the crowd wolf whistle as Kelly Fox makes her way out, with a microphone in hand…

Hardy: I wonder what Kelly’s doing out here…

Carter: I think she’s out here to put an end to Dark Prophet’s rampage…

The music fades as Kelly raises the microphone.

Kelly: Prophet, I can’t have you assaulting officials, so as much as I hate to give someone of the Corporate Empire something they don’t deserve, you leave me no choice…I’m out here to reverse the referee’s decision…Kole Kaos and Xavier Williams win.

Hardy: Kaos and Williams win!

Carter: Kelly reversed the decision because of Prophet’s assault on the official…

Hardy: I guess she’s trying to make up for dropping the ball in that whole Adam Knite, Davey Ortega and The Ace situation last month…

Carter: Yes, she knows now we can’t have nCw Superstars running amok…Ace did enough damage…

Prophet looks pissed as Kaos is just laughing as he heads up the ramp…

We cut away from the super crazy intense action of nCw Collision and we find ourselves backstage in the office of nCw owner Kelly Fox. Kelly walks through the door just having arrived back from making her announcment. The office door shuts behind her and. all seems quiet in boss lady land when suddenly her door comes barreling open. The velocity even blows some of the papers off her desk. Annoyed, she looks up to see who it was that caused the disturbance.

Kelly Fox: “Steve Awesome. What a, well, awesome surprise.”

Steve Awesome grins.

Steve Awesome: “Yeah I get that a lot.”

Kelly gives him a half grin.

Kelly Fox: “Yeah I’m sure you do. So what can I do for you?”

Steve Awesome: “Nothing. I just came over to see my favorite boss. You know, see how her life is doing, lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on, or even a hug if the moment called for it.”

Kelly immediately lets out a loud sigh.

Kelly Fox: “Not again.”

Steve Awesome: “Come on, Kelly! I saw the way you were always looking at me when you were doing commentary. Grinning, and keeping your eye glued to my ass at all times. I know me and you have a connection, embrace it Kelly, follow your heart….”

Steve Awesome leans in to kiss Kelly who simply backs up a few inches to avoid Steve’s lips.

Kelly Fox: “I’m not putting you in the world title match and that’s final!”

Steve Awesome: Oh Come on! You know it would be good for business.”

Kelly Fox: “There’s no more openings.”

Steve Awesome: Take Joe Everyman out! He’s just filler anyway.

Kelly Fox: No, I’m not taking Joe out. He has earned his shot just like everybody else has. I’m not changing my mind.

Steve Awesome: but….

Kelly Fox: No.

Steve Awesome: but…..

Kelly Fox: No!

Steve Awesome: but…..

Kelly Fox: NO!

Steve Awesome: Damn, I thought that would work. Well fine, give me a chance to earn it again. Put me in a match for Last Stand. I’ll take on anybody, toots. You just show me where to sign.”

Kelly is about to open her mouth to speak when just then Jack Manson bursts through the door to Kelly Fox's office, Manson shoulders past Awesome and walks right up to Kelly‘s desk.}

Jack Manson: Okay Fox, listen up. People are getting matches left right and center here for Last Stand and I'm still stood outside in the cold. Just what the hell is going on? I'm Jack Manson! Book me in a match, I don't care who it's against, just book it.

Steve Awesome: “Woah, Jackie, I believe I was here first. Maybe you should walk back out that door and come back in when you learn some manners.”

Jack Manson: Just shut the hell up Awesome, who the hell do you think you are? Keep going the way you are and I'll bust you up like last time.

{Awesome remembers their first blood match and gets up in Manson's face}

Steve Awesome: “Ooh nice comeback, bet you were waiting a long time to throw that in my face, but the only real question is, Do you think you can back that up?”

Jack Manson: You think I'd waste my time on a punk like you? I've been there, and beat that. There's no need for me to do a repeat.

{Manson and Steve's foreheads are touching now, both men pushing against the other, trying to gain some kind of advantage}

Kelly Fox: “Now this has potential.”

She nods her head as Steve and Jack still stand nose to nose.

Kelly Fox: Yeah, it's settled. To shut the both of you up I'm making a match. At Last Stand there will be a match involving both Steve Awesome AND Jack Manson…..

{Fans can be heard cheering as both men turn and face her, not expecting to hear what they just did}

Jack Manson: You know what, it doesn't matter. I've made you bleed once and I'll do it again. It's no big deal.

Steve Awesome: Yeah? Well this time I don’t have to stop if it happens. At Last Stand, I’ll prove that match was nothing but a fluke!

Kelly Fox: Hang on, I wasn't finished.

{They look at her once more.}

Kelly Fox: As I was saying, at Last Stand it will be Steve Awesome and Jack Manson, and.... Brad.... Kane.

Steve Awesome: You mean I get Manson and old vag-ass at the same time? Count me in”

{With that Steve storms out the office, leaving Jack and Kelly as we cut to commercial break}

311 by Down plays over the speakers as Ricky Johnson makes his way out from behind the black curtain, his tag team title in hand and John Anthony in tow.

Eric Hardy: Well here is the reigning tag team champions.

Willy Carter: Yeah, but we will see just how deserving they really are when they step into the ring against Maniac and Falcon tonight.

Dig by Mudvayne breaks the silence of the crowd as they either go strait to booing or cheering as loud as possilbe. Maniac rushes out on the stage and begins pounding himself on either side of the head with his fists as pyro begins exploding all around him like a war zone.

[Lyrics]

Maniac begins to step forward, with every step more pyro explodes from the stage in his wake.

I would love to beat the face, Of any mother f**ker that's thinkin' they can change me, White knuckles grip pushing through for the gold, If you're wantin' a piece of me I broke the mother f**kin' mold, I'm drowning in your wake s**t rubbed in my face Teething on concrete Gums bleeding

Maniac reaches the ring and stands in front of the apron for a moment, letting the lyrics sink in. Then just as the chorus is about to begin he leaps from the floor to the ring apron followed by yet more pyro.

Dig bury me underneath Everything that I am rearranging Dig bury me underneath Everything that I was slowly changing

Maniac steps through the ropes and heads across to the other side of the ring. He stands on the second and top ropes dead center between two posts, his left arm holding the ropes for balance, his right flailing wildly to incite the fans.

I struggle in violated space, Sell out motherf**kers in the biz that try to f**k me, Hang from their T's rated P.G. insight, I ain't sellin' my soul when there's nothing to buy I'm livid in my space Pissing in my face f**k you while you try To f**k me

Maniac gets off the ropes and slowly backs up to the center of the ring, raising both fists high over his head and screaming at the top of his lungs as again the arena is assaulted with pyro. The music dies down and Maniac heads to his corner.

Eric Hardy: Tonight it’s Maniac’s last match here in nCw. I for one am excited.

Willy Carter: Me too.

(Smoke filters up from the exit to the back. The song begins with that all familiar drum pattern.)

"Uhnhhuunhhhuhhnnaaa..." "Let's FIGHT!"

(Falcon emerges from the smoke as the dual guitars blast sonic waves into the arena. He runs to the left on the stage, throwing his hands up, urging the crowd to their feet.)

"We're face to face.." "Loyalty.. is what.. I need.. to see from you.." "You're insecure.." "I can see the fear that breeds in your heart.."

(He runs back to the right, feeling the energy and feeding off it. More gestures, the crowd is near frenzied by this point.)

"Where will you run" "Where will you hide" "I see the blood" "Drip from your eyes" "Lets get it on" "And we'll fight!"

(He runs back to the center, then down the ramp. Sliding nimbly into the ring, moving to the corner and leaping from the canvas to the top turnbuckle.)

"I know who you are." "The Leader of lost souls." "You can't kill me.. I'm Immortal.."

(He drops down, moving to the ropes on no particular side, and standing on them, half on the bottom, half on the middle, arm raised in the devil horns.)

"I'm not afraid to die." "My soul will travel on." "You can't kill me.. I'm IMMORRRTTTAAALLL.."

Eric Hardy: Falcon is in the house. Lets get this show on the road.

Willy Carter: yes….lets.

Maniac, Falcon, and RJ all stand on opposite sides of the ring and there respective tag team partners stand on the outside. Each man eyes the other one waiting for some kind of movement. First Ricky goes makes a move but Maniac is able to catch him with a boot to the midsection and then Falcon comes in and Maniac catches him with a nice overhead belly to belly toss. Falcon lands back first and now RJ is back up and about to get it on with Maniac. RJ lands a nice forearm to the teeth of Chris Diamond and he stumbles back into Falcon who drops him with a neck breaker.

Eric Hardy: You have to keep an eye on everybody in the match Maniac. You should know this.

Willy Carter: Too bad nobody has eyes on the back of there head. That would help things a lot.

Maniac goes down and Ricky is quick to attack Falcon now. Falcon takes a few kicks to the shoulder area and then Ricky grabs Falcon by the head and drags him up to his feet. Ricky looks to drop Falcon with a suplex but Falcon is able to reverse it into a an arm drag takedown and Ricky rolls across the ring. Behind Falcon is Maniac and he is quick to turn Falcon around. He starts nailing lefts and rights into the bird brain. Falcon puts his arms up to reverse and that’s when Maniac kicks him in the gut and tosses him back with an exploder suplex.

Eric Hardy: Man! Falcon is just getting tossed around the ring by Chris Diamond here tonight.

Willy Carter: Birds fly, Hardy.

Now Ricky is back up and is spotted climbing up to the top rope. Maniac turns around and gets cracked right in the face by a missile dropkick by Ricky. Johnson goes for the pin. 1.….2.…..kick out by Maniac. Ricky looks to inflict more damage on Maniac but Falcon comes in with a flying forearm. Almost seconds after he lands, Falcon is back on his feet. He runs towards the ropes and looks for some kind of flashy springboard type move but the ever powerful Maniac is able to catch the bird and smear him into the mat with a big spine buster. Maniac gets back up and you can see him talk a little smack to the fallen Falcon. Then from out of nowhere, Ricky is back in the action and lands a running bulldog that imprints Maniac’s face into the nether regions of Falcon.

Eric Hardy: That doesn’t look good for either man, does it Willy?

Willy Carter: Strange, I figured seeing two men in that type of position would be just another day for you.

Falcon writhes in pain and Maniac shakes off the attack and begins wiping his face off vigorously. Ricky then cracks Maniac across the face with his shin. Maniac collapses to the mat and Ricky goes for another pin. But a pissed off Falcon kicks Ricky off Maniac before a pin count could start.

Falcon gets up, rather gingerly of course, and he makes a B line straight for Ricky Johnson. RJ swings a punch but Falcon catches him in a northern lights suplex and then he bridges it into a pin. The ref goes for a count 1.…2.….but a elbow to the exposed stomach of Falcon from Maniac breaks up the count. Falcon rolls over to try and catch his breath and Maniac pulls Ricky up to his feet, but Ricky starts battling back, a punch here and an elbow there and Maniac’s grip starts to loosen and then Ricky drops Maniac with a jaw breaker. Maniac stumbles backward and Rick drops his opponent with a DDT!

Eric Hardy: Big time DDT by Ricky Johnson! He has to capitalize!

Ricky goes for a pin. 1.…..2.……but Falcon comes in and captures the pinning Ricky Johnson into an Oklahoma roll. The ref goes for another count 1.….2.…..but Maniac is able to capture Falcon with a school boy roll up and the ref counts 1.…..2.……but then Ricky is able to break the pin count at the last second.

Eric Hardy: What a display by these three men.

Maniac slaps the mat and gets up. He swings a punch at Ricky who ducks underneath and slaps on his Fade Away submission hold. But Falcon is there to save the day and he breaks the hold up and then drops Ricky with his Aerial Spike finisher. Then as soon as Falcon turns around Maniac drops him with an F-5! Maniac goes for the pin. 1.….2.…..3!!!!

Eric Hardy: Maniac's done it, he's won this match.

Willy Carter: great match between these guys, but it was Maniac who some how pulled out the win.

Eric Hardy: Willy, up next could be the match of the night.. Joe Everyman takes on Spike Kane!

Willy Carter: It's a big match, these two will take on Lance Ryan and Trent Helms in the No Limits Ladder Match at Last Stand... for the World Championship.

Eric Hardy: This match could be a great preview of things to come next week.

Willy Carter: I can't wait.

{Joe Everyman's music hits as he comes out to a huge ovation. He walks down the ramp slapping the hands of some fans before rushing to the ring and sliding in. He readys himself of the match.}

Eric Hardy: There's Joe Everyman... just listen to these fans cheer for the member of the Social Enemies.

Willy Carter: These fans have always loved Joe Everyman.... wait what is this?

Eric Hardy: Spike Kane?!

{Inside the ring Spike Kane has slid in behind Joe and is slamming him face first into the turnbuckles repeatedly.}

Willy Carter: What is he doing!? This match hasn't even started!

Eric Hardy: That piece of... Spike Kane is just brutally attacking Joe before this match even starts!

{The Joe comes staggering out of the corner as the bell finally rings. Mailville tries to get Spike to stop his attack but Spike ignores the referee. He takes a step back and everybody knows what is coming next.}

Eric Hardy: Damn that Spike Kane... he's going for the kill shot here...

Willy Carter: Why did Mailville even start this match... Joe was attacked from behind....

Eric Hardy: I have no idea.

{Spike comes forward and is looking for his super fast superkick... but Joe side steps! Spike plants and turns around and takes a kick to the groan immediately from Joe.. right in front of the referee.}

Eric Hardy: Mailville is going to let that go!?

Willy Carter: **laughing** I'm guessing he let Spike get away with a cheap shot... so he's going to let Joe get away with one!

{Everyman takes Spike's head and hits the Twist of the Fate, the crowd erupts with cheers as Joe covers 1.....2....3!!! Winner Joe Everyman!}

WIlly Carter: What the hell!? Joe just won this match!

Eric Hardy: Listen to this crowd Erupt willy!

Willy Carter: Look at the look on Everyman's face!

{Joe Everyman jumps up into the air excitedly celebrating his victory, finally he calms down enough to have his arm raised by the referee.. Joe falls the mat and rolls out of the ring slapping the hands of the fans around ringside before walking backwards up the ramp smiling at Spike Kane who is holding his head with a look of surprise inside the ring!}

Eric Hardy: We'll be right back after this fans... my gawd... Joe Everyman... just pinned Spike Kane!

Willy Carter: I love it!

The arena is a buzz with excitement as the crowd await the next event. Suddenly a remix of "The Fight Song" by Marilyn Manson begins to play over the PA system. The lights in the arena dim and a spot light flashes on during the FIGHT! parts of the song.

"FIGHT!" "FIGHT!" "FIGHT!" "FIGHT!"

After the 4th FIGHT! the heavy guitar riff explodes into life as the fans go wild. The lights disappear and a heavy rain of white sparks erupt into the air on both sides of the arena as Manson walks onto the entrance ramp and stands under the sparks. His leather coat shimmers from catching the light from the pyro.

He smirks to himself as the fans boo's can be heard over the less distorted riff. Manson walks confidently down to the ring, raising his fists into the air as he takes the hatred from the crowd in his stride. He walks over to the left side of the ramp and bad mouths a few of the audience members before moving over to the right and repeating the action. Manson reaches for the top rope and pulls himself onto the ring apron, he turns around and faces the entrance ramp to the ring once more. He holds his arms out and tilts his head back. A red coloured firework goes off with each of the six FIGHT's! As the second verse plays Jack turns back round and steps into the ring over the middle rope and paces back and forth, removing his coat in the process. He walks over to the ropes and hands the coat to a stage hand and warms himself up. Manson then runs on to the right turnbuckle closest to the entrance ramp. The flashes of camera's flicker on and off as he motions for his opponent to come down to the ring with both hands. The music fades as he drops back to the ring and locks his eyes on the entrance.

Eric Hardy: Here's Jack Manson Willy, despite this not being a title match, he looks ready to go.

Willy Carter: Jack Manson is a fighter, he loves to wrestle, titles mean nothing to him.

The lights in the arena go completely out, even the floodlights, and the arena is pitch black. "Run" by Day of Fire begins to play in the arena and the fans in attendance can be heard, but not seen, cheering. A bright shower of pyro begins to fall from the nCw-tron, lighting the surrounding area. The cheers gets louder as the fans do indeed recognize that it is Lance Ryan that is about to make his entrance to the arena.

The race is running a pace that’s quicker The clock's tick ticking against The world keeps turning…this house is on fire… Won’t catch me sleepwalking again…

Lance walks out onto the entranceway, indeed with his empire. To his left is his son Jamie, and to his right is his brother Matthew. the showers over the ramp fall down atop the three men as Lance removes the nCw World Title from around his waist and raises it high in the air. The fans begin to cheer even louder for their champion. The pyro stops illuminating the arena and we are again found in complete darkness.

Running…said I’m running…I’m running… I’m coming at you gunning…running…said I’m running against… Running…said I’m running…I’m running I’m coming at you gunning…running…said I’m running against…

The arena is now lit by flashing strobe lights that make the movements of the nCw champion seem as if in slow motion as he walks down the ramp and towards the ring. He points to signs in the crowd that are directed at him and slaps hands with fans on either side of the entranceway. As the three men get to ringside, Matthew climbs up onto the apron and Jamie uses the stairs. Both men then sit upon the second rope as Lance steps up onto the apron and in between the middle and top rope and into the ring. Once he enters the ring, pyro shoots up into the rafters from each ring post and a golden rain again falls from the rafters and into the ring. Lance climbs atop the turnbuckle and holds his World Title high in the air for all to see.

Awake and running the distance quicker This road is nearing the end The wheel keeps turning…this heart is on fire… I’m burning up high speed when I win…

Lance then climbs down and stands in the middle of the ring staring out into the crowd with disgust as he awaits the start of his match.

Willy Carter: And here's our world champion.

Eric Hardy: This match is ready to go, and promises to be an all out fight.

Willy Carter: Just how I like it.

{The bell rings and this match is underway. Lance Ryan and Manson tie up in the middle of the ring, Lance takes Jack's arm and spins under him and puts him in a hammerlock. Manson pats his shoulder, takes Lance's arm and hand and spins through putting Lance on his back. Ryan rolls over and is back on his feet but is put right back down with a drop kick from Manson. Lance rolls over and pushes back up holding his jaw. He turns and takes a punch at Manson but Manson lowers his head and catches Lance's other arm, puts it between his own legs, lifts and hits the Wrist Clutch Exploder! Manson covers and this match looks to be over early. 1....2.... but Lance Ryan just gets a shoulder off the mat.}

Willy Carter: Wow Hardy, I thought this match was over right there.

Eric Hardy: I'm sure there were a lot of people right there with you. Manson isn't taking this match lifghtly

WIlly Carter: He sure isn't.... he's going for it all early and fast.

{Manson gets right back to work as he pulls Lance Ryan up off the mat and gives him an Irish Whip, Manson catches Ryan and hits a spine buster. Manson is back up and takes both of Ryan's legs as he goes for another pin. 1.....2... but again Ryan is able to get a shoulder off the mat. Manson is now back up and pulls Ryan along with him. Manson drags Ryan all the way to the nearest corner and slams him face first into the turnbuckle padding. Ryan's head bounces off and Manson turns him around to where Ryan is now leaning on the turnbuckles. Manson pats Ryan's chest and then slaps him hard across it with a big chop and the fans scream out “woooo”. Manson measures Ryan again, but Lance reaches up taking Manson by the head and turns him quickly into the corner, switching places. Ryan chops Manson across the chest in retaliation and the fans again scream out “wooo”. Manson staggers out of the corner holding his chest but Lance shoves him backwards back in and then spins and hits a big discus clothesline to Manson standing against the turnbuckles. Manson slumps over in the corner from the effects of the move and Lance lifts Manson up and places him in the sitting position on the top rope. Ryan comes up after Manson and hits him with a superplex coming off, as soon as they hit Ryan rolls over on top of Manson with the pin. 1.....2.... but Manson just gets his shoulder off the mat.}

Eric Hardy: Manson just gets that shoulder up.... so close.

Willy Carter: Again I thought this match was over, but somehow it keeps going.

Eric Hardy: They've been going at each other fast here Willy, both of these men are giving this match their all.

Willy Carter: I didn't really expect anything less from these two.

Eric Hardy: Nor did I.

{Lance gets up and takes Manson by the hair and brings him up as well. Manson puts a punch into the bread basket of Ryan that rattles him some. While Lance is stunned from the initial blow Manson hits his Muay Thai Combo followed by a stiff kick to Lance's leg that now sends Ryan to the mat. Manson runs and bounces of the ropes and hits a quick elbow drop putting the point of his elbow between Lances shoulder blades. Manson gets up and does the move a second time, however after hitting the move the second time Manson gets to his feet and bends down lifting Lance to his as well. However Manson stops midway up and quickly hits a double ax handle to back of Ryan's necks and shoulders sending Lance to the canvas face first, as Lance lays there Jack stomps him hard with his boot on the exact same spot, delivering even more violence. Finally Manson pulls Ryan to his feet and signals that the match is over and appears to be going for the Maniac Spine Cruncher, he puts Ryan's head between his legs and tries to lift but no go Ryan holds his spot. Manson tries again but Ryan wraps his leg around Manson's. Manson tries one more time but it's Ryan that gets the upper hand as he lifts hard and manages to flip Manson up and over putting him on his back. Ryan falls forward to his knees and holds the back of his neck in pain.}

Eric Hardy: Ryan did a great job of not letting Manson hit that move.

Willy Carter: Lance has taken a good deal of punishment, but he refused to go down right there, I'm impressed.

{Manson rolls back to his feet and attempts to soccar kick Lance in the back of the head as he's kneeling but seemingly with a set of eyes in the back of his head Ryan ducks the kick and Jack hits nothing but air. Manson turns around and takes a stiff closed fist punch to the stomach from Ryan. The referee warns Lance as he fireman carries Manson over onto his back and gets back to his feet. Lance stands there waiting and as soon as Manson gets back to his feet Lance takes him by the arm and Irish Whips him into the ropes. Manson comes back and Lance charges, he leaps and hits the Leap the Border! Lance crotches in the corner after hitting that move and waits. He signals for Manson to get up and appears to be going for the road block!}

Eric Hardy: This could be all Carter, Ryan is setting him up for this spear.

Willy Carter: Manson may never know what hit him after this, it's over if Ryan connects.

Eric Hardy: Manson is starting to get to his feet, this could be the match.

Willy Carter: Wait no.. what is this! It's Spike Kane.

Eric Hardy: Spike get out of here! Leave the match alone.

{Sure enough what they said is true, Spike Kane jumps on the apron and heads for Lance, but Lance clearly sees him in time and focuses his attention on Kane giving him a big running clothesline that knocks him off the apron and to the floor! Lance looks down at Spike's body angrily before he turns back around, but as soon as he does he's met with a stiff kick to the stomach and Manson puts him between his legs and hits the Maniac Spine Cruncher! Manson covers 1...2...3! Winner: Jack Manson!}

Eric Hardy: NO! Spike Kane screwed Lance Ryan.

Willy Carter: He sure did.... I have a feeling though, that Lance will not take this lately next week at Last Stand.

Eric Hardy: I can guarantee that... Spike has a bullseye on his chest by the Champion now.

{Manson has his hand raised in victory as the fans boo the outcome of the match. Jack doesn't seem to care as he exits the ring and he and Spike walk up the ramp to the back together in victory.nCw cuts to commercial.}

Price To Play begins to play as Both The Smokin Aces come out to the ring, quickly followed up by Perfect Insanity, as both Trent and Knite quickly run to the ring.

The Smokin Aces end up talking in their corner, as Steve Awesome decides it best if he starts the match, as Adam and Trent look at each other for a few moments, to decide to see, who will start for A Knitemare On Helms Street, they begin playing Paper, Rock, Scissors, to see who will fight Awesome first, however they both pull Paper, Bob Manville tells them they need to hurry up, as they go again. This time drawing Scissors, in which Steve Awesome comes over and nails both of them in the jaw.

Willy Carter: Well I guess Two Rocks, Beat Two pair of scissors.

Knite ultimately starts the match off, as him and Awesome lock up, and get into a stalemate as both nearly seem to be identical in terms of strength as neither man seems to be gaining the advantage, Awesome nails a quick knee, but is unable to shove Knite back, who ends up nailing a headbutt to the side of the head of Awesome that rocks him, but still neither man is able to gain the advantage, They keep tallying for position, turning when each other tries to over power the other, While this is happening, when Steve is close by, Yells at Adam, who immediately breaks the lock up and knocks The Ace off the apron, this split second opening is all Awesome needed to take the advantage with a solid right hand that staggers Knite, before nailing a stiff boot to the midsection, and hitting a Snap Suplex, before reaching over and tagging Ace, who just hopped back onto the Apron.

Eric Hardy: The Smokin Aces seem to have the advantage in the early stages.

Willy Carter: What do you expect, they are the best Tag Team in nCw.

Eric Hardy: I wouldn’t be too sure about that, the only time theses two teams met before, was two months ago, in which Knitemare On Helms Street pulled out the win to capture the nCw Tag Team Titles.

Willy Carter: It was a fluke won’t happen again.

While Adam is in the process of getting up, Ace rushes in and nails a diving knee, right to the side of the head of Adam, before quickly shoving him down and hooking the leg…One…Two….Adam kicks out just right after two, The Ace then goes and taunts Trent on the apron as Knite is getting, and yells, I want him, referring to Trent on the apron. Knite shrugs, and goes to make the tag, only he doesn’t, catching the Ace off guard with a shoulder block take down as the fans explode as Adam ultimately begins to unload a series of haymakers, finally beginning to get several months worth of revenge with every blow, before Bob Manville rushes in to pull Adam off of Ace, and warning him about all the closed fist he just used on Ace.

Willy Carter: That should have been a disqualification right there, Him using so many closed fists on The Ace…

Eric Hardy: While I agree, it was good to see Adam get a little taste of revenge.

Kathy ends up jumping onto the apron, and yelling how the bell should have been called, when suddenly, Trent bursts from his corner and quickly charges Kathy, who just has enough time to drop off the apron, to avoid Trent grabbing her, which causes Manville to turn his attention to getting Trent out of the ring, while this is happening, Awesome claps his hands real hard on the apron, to make it sound as if he and the Ace made a tag, as he comes into the ring, as Adam is now pulling the Ace back up, however he is caught off-guard by Awesome who grabs Knite from behind and drives him down with a neckbreaker, The Ace quickly drops a knee across the throat of Adam before leaving, as Manville turns around, and yells at Awesome, who claps his hand saying, You heard the tag, Manville simply replies, as Awesome pulls Knite up again, and hits a second neckbreaker, followed by going for the pin. One….Two…..Knite easily kicks out just after two.

Willy Carter: The Smokin Aces are taking ever advantage possible, I don’t blame them, since you know, last time, they lost due to cheating.

Eric Hardy: I think you forget to mention the fact in the last match between theses two teams, The Smokin Aces use their own fair share of illegal tactics.

Awesome pulls Knite up again and whips him into his teams corner, ,before both men nail a series of blows to Knite, before pulling Knite up to the top rope, as Awesome makes the tag. Ace comes in and climbs to the top rope, and hooks, Adam up for a Superplex, who, then begins fighting back, hitting several blows to the stomach of Ace, before lifting him up and throwing him outwards, causing Ace to land on his face in the ring with a modified version of Front Suplex, Knite quickly goes to show his guns and leap off with a Screaming From The Sky, but however, Awesome quickly reaches over and pushes him off the top rope, as he falls from the rope, to the outside, hitting the barricade face first.

Eric Hardy: Knite is seriously being kept from being able to get any revenge against The Ace, except for that one outburst a few minutes ago.

Willy Carter: Well he can’t just focus on The Ace you know. The Ace gets up, and grabs

Manville attention as Kathy runs over to Adam and nails a few boots to him, which once again, causes Trent to roll off the apron, and quickly goes to stop her, Manville sees this, and trying to protect Kathy, despite her cheating against Knite, slides out of the ring, and steps infront of Trent, stopping him, as this is happening, Knite gets thrown back into the ring by Awesome, as Kathy climbs onto the apron, as Ace holds Adams arms back, as Kathy slaps Knite across the face with full force, before Ace quickly tosses Adam to the ground. However Bob Manville slides back into the ring and notices Kathy on the apron, and quickly throws his hands up, and yells Get To The Back.

Eric Hardy: Yes, Official Bob Manville is ejecting Kathy from ringside!

Kathy and Ace are both livid, as Ace is on the verge of seeming like, he is going to deck the official, when Awesome has to come into the ring, to calm him down, as Kathy is yelling, She’s not going anywhere. Manville then yells out, He’s going to disqualify the Smokin Aces if she doesn’t leave, which sadly causes her to drop off the apron to the back. Awesome finally calms The Ace down enough as Steve exits the ring, as Ace turns around, and is kicked in the midsection by Adam Knite who had some time to recover, Adam grabs him, before hooking the leg, then nailing a Fisherman Suplex, bridged into a pin…One….Two…..The Ace kicks out.

Knite pulls Ace up, and whips him into his own teams corner, before making the Tag to Trent, Knite nails a stiff clothline before backing up as Trent enters the ring, Adam gets on all fours in front of Ace, as Trent runs around the ring before charging and leaping off Adam back and nailing Ace with a Spinning Heel Kick in the corner off Adam back, The Ace stumbles forward, as Adam grabs him once again and hits a snap suplex, before Trent who had climbed onto the apron, slingshots over, nailing a legdrop and hitting the leg….One….Two….The Ace kicks out once again.

Eric Hardy: What a show of great teamwork by Knite and Helms, hitting a series of Tag Team Manuevers.

Trent nails a few stomps, before hitting a Standing Senton Splash on The Ace, before reaching over and making the Tag to Adam once again, who comes into the ring, and whips Ace off the ropes, before pulling him up and nailing a spinebuster, before both Adam and Trent leap into the Air, with Adam hitting a standing splash, as Trent hits a legdrop at the same time, Knite hooks the leg…One….Two….Kickout once again.

Willy Carter: That is why The Smokin Aces are the best tag team, both the combined efforts of Trent and Adam aren’t enough to put away Ace.

Eric Hardy: Is Kole playing you off?

Knite pulls Ace up, and goes to lift him up from behind, however Ace, manages to block it, and while Adam has ahold of him, drops down, using Adams on momutum, to knock him into the turnbuckle, which staggers Adam, who slowly gets up before being slammed into the turnbuckle with a lariat to the back of the head by Ace, Ace then drags Knite back to their teams corner, and makes the Tag to Steve.

Willy Carter: Time for Steve to end this.

Steve comes in, but Knite had a little time to recover, and nails a big hand, that stuns Steve, before he makes the tag to Trent as he dived across the ring, as Trent and Awesome are face to face for the first time since Picture Perfect.

Eric Hardy: You can beat something evil is going thru both men minds right now, Steve you can tell, wants a heavy dose of revenge against Trent, because for some reason, Steve thinks Trent screwed him out of the nCw Title at the last pay per view. Trent and Awesome think about locking up, both instead choose to just charge each other, with the much bigger Awesome getting the advantage, with a series of blows, He whips Trent into the ropes, and goes to back body drop him, but Trent puts on the brakes, and backflips over Awesome head, before bouncing off the far side ropes, However Ace saw this, and quickly pulls down the bottom rope, causing Trent to fly over the rope to the outside.

Willy Carter: Haha, Trent went flying, this time, he wasn’t the way he is used too.

Eric Hardy: Anyways Fans, we must take our final commercial break of the evening.

We come back from the Commercial break, as Steve Awesome has Trent locked in Everyone favorite submission hold, nearly in the middle of the ring, meanwhile a replay shows, Adam and Ace fighting on the outside during the break, as Ace managed to slam Knite into the steel steps, before showing, Trent going for a Springboard Clothline on Awesome in the ring, before being caught and locked in the current submission move.

Eric Hardy: We’re back fans, and it seems like the end is rapidly approaching for The Knitemare on Helms Street, as Steve Awesome firmly has Everyone Favorite Submission Hold locked in, and Knite is still knocked out on the outside.

Willy Carter: We’re going to see a first here tonight, Trent Helms is going to submit!

Bob Manville asks if Trent is wanting to submit, and Trent screams out in pain, while saying No, as Awesome pulls back even harder, before rolling Trent over him into a Pin, One…Two….Trent is forced to roll back over into the submission hold, to escape the pin, as Awesome firmly keeps it locked in, Meanwhile, The Ace is up on the apron, laughing at the pain the current number one contender to the nCw Championship is in, Manville once again asks about the situlation, in which, Trent doesn’t reply, Manville then begins to check if Trent is even still awake, He rises Trent hand, it falls once….He raises it again, once again it falls, as he counts two, He raises the arm a third time, and as it’s beginning to fall, Adam Knite somehow makes it into the ring to force Awesome to break the hold, before Trent’s hand hit three.

Eric Hardy: Adam Knite just seriously saved the match right there, I think Trent passed out from the pain from the submission hold.

Willy Carter: Then it’s pretty much over, The Smokin Aces got this match won.

Knite pulls Awesome up, as Trent lays motionless in the ring, as the two begin to exchange punches, which causes The Ace to come into the ring, Knite gains a slight advantage over Awesome until Ace joins in, Manville however can’t break up the brawl, due to checking on Trent, which allows The Smokin Aces to take advantage, and hit a Double Superkick on Knite, before Ace slides out of the ring, as Awesome runs over, shoves Manville out of the way, and rolls Trent onto his back trying to get the pin…One….Two…..Three!

Willy Carter: Smokin Aces win it!

Eric Hardy: Not So Fast….Look!

Bob Manville points out, Trent foot is on the rope, which immediately Causes Awesome to pull it away and go for the pinfall again…One….Two…..This time Trent somehow manages to kick out, shocking everyone in the arena.

Willy Carter: How?

Awesome is going insane, and repeatly stomps away at Trent several times, before once again making a cover, hoping the stomps drove the last little bit of energy out of Trent, One….Two….Trent kicks out.

Eric Hardy: I don’t know how Trent keeps managing to survive like this.

Awesome pulls Trent up, and lifts his body up into position, and yells, I’m done with this, He goes for the Steve KO, and looks like he is going to hit it, when suddenly Knite reaches into the ring, under the bottom rope, and yanks Awesome leg, causing him to lose his balance as Trent lands ontop of him in a pin….One….Two….Kickout.

Willy Carter: If it wasn’t for the million dollar abs of Steve Awesome, that one would be over.

Awesome quickly gains his composure and stomps Trent again before reaching over and making the Tag to The Ace, who quickly comes into the ring, and poses and waits for Trent to get to his feet, slapping his leg, taunting Helms that he’s going to hit the Fame-Acer, Trent finally gets to his feet once again, as Ace runs and charges and leaps into the air, However Trent senses it at the last second, and uses the Aces momutum, to push him upwards, causing the Ace to hung between his legs on the top rope, as Ace screams in pain, Trent sees this and quickly climbs to the top rope, before leaping off and hitting a Missile Dropkick, which knocks, Ace to the outside once again as he falls off the top rope, as Trent has seemingly regained his second wind. As he waits for Ace to get up on the outside, before making a Tag to Adam, who enters the ring, Adam and Trent say something, as Trent leg is grabbed by Adam who throws him backwards, hitting a moonsault over the ropes, onto a Rising Ace, as the fans begin to get behind A Knitemare On Helms Street.

Eric Hardy: That is some amazing teamwork.

Willy Carter: I’ve seen better

Knite climbs to the outside, and pulls The Ace back into the ring, as Trent returns to the apron, Knite pulls Ace to his feet, and throws him against the ropes, which allows Awesome to make a blind tag, before Ace is lifted into the air and hit with a Tilt-A-Whirl Slam by Adam who hooks the leg, but before he can realize what is going on, He is punted in the head by Steve Awesome.

Willy Carter: And The Field Goal Is Good

Eric Hardy: That kick just made me cringe

Awesome pulls Adam up, who is nearly unconscious, as he steps back and goes for his Jawbreaker superkick which connects, however at the Same time, Knite had the same idea hitting his Perfect Dark Superkick as both men fall to the ground, right next to each other, with both their arms falling ontop of the other, as Bob Manville shrugs, and drops down….One….Two…..The Ace breaks up the pin, wanting to avoid a draw.

Willy Carter: The Ace narrowly avoided a draw in this match.

Eric Hardy: Yeah, This match has gone on for too long to end in a draw.

Bob Manville orders The Ace out of the ring, who tries to get a cheap shot in on Knite, however Manville holds his ground, as Ace is exiting the ring, Trent with all of his speed, rolls in, and pulls Knite ontop of Awesome, and exits the ring, just in time, to notice Knite ontop of Awesome, which causes Manville to quickly drop down into the pin…One….Two…..Three!

Willy Carter: No, They cheated again.

Eric Hardy: No, Awesome somehow rolls the shoulder out.

Trent is shocked, figuring Steve would still be out from The Perfect Dark, as he begins to slap the turnbuckle looking for a Tag to be made, meanwhile The Ace is looking for a Tag of his own on the other side, Manville has no choice but to count both men down….One….Two….Three….Four….Awesome and Knite both begin to stumble around, trying to get to their feet, Five!....Six!

Eric Hardy: Will either man get up, this is shades of what we’re going to see in The Last Man Standing Match between Xavier Williams and Angel.

Seven….Eight….Knite manages to roll to a knee, as does Awesome…Nine….Both men get to their feet.

Eric Hardy: My God, this has to be one of the most amazing Tag Team Matches ever.

Both men are dazed as they get to their feet, before both quickly take off, and make tags to their respected partners, Ace storms into the Ace, but as soon as he does so, Trent is already airbourne with a Springboard Rana, which takes The Ace down before beginning to staddle him, and hitting a series of vicious headbutts before getting to his feet, Ace is stunned, As Trent runs off the ropes, and dives, but gets caught as he attempts the Crossbody, before The Ace plants him with a spinning Rock Bottom and hooks the leg, One…Two….Kickout by Trent.

Ace pulls Trent up and goes to finish this off, As he hooks Trent head for The Ace-Plant, however Trent drops down, and nails a big right hand before trying to lift The Ace up into the fireman carry, he struggles trying to do so, until The Ace manages to rack the Eyes, while at the same time, Steve seeing Helms going for the Bioshock, charged into the ring, and goes for the Jawbreaker Superkick again, however as Trent falls down, the kick misses and nails The Ace right in the face.

Knite charges in, and clothlines, himself and Awesome over the top rope, as Trent sees that Ace is down, and springs to the middle rope, then to the top rope, before leaping off, and driving his body thru Ace with The Helmsphere II, He goes for the cover when suddenly, The Bell rings.

Eric Hardy: What the Hell just happened.

Willy Carter: I have no idea.

Bob Manville is looking around, as the timekeeper, comes up to him and tells him something, Manville takes it all in, when he calls over Amber Ashe.

Amber Ashe: Ladies And Gentleman, The Thirty Minute Time-Limit has expired, this match is ruled a draw.

The crowd boos loudly at the decision, as Trent is argueing, had this match, had a few more seconds, his team would of won, but there is nothing Manville can do about it, meanwhile during this time, The Ace grabs his Xtreme Title and Retreats, as Awesome and Knite continue to brawl, before being separated as Collision ends.
