The camera pans down from the roaring crowd to the Collision Announce team, who are covering Cross Roads. A grim look is on their face.

Kelly Knite: “Tonight is a huge night, many titles on the line…”

Eric Hardy: “A great show, with some spectacular matches…”

Kelly Knite: “On a sad note, we take you back to the locker room, where a tragic event is coming to light.”

Eric Hardy: “Its always tough losing one of nCw’s family. We go back to the locker rooms where Xavier Cross has an announcement to make. Xavier?

The scene flips to Xavier Cross who is standing in the locker room. Its dead silent, all the camera pics up is heavy breathing. He breathes through his nose, as his hands run through his eyes wiping away the salty tears that stung his cheeks. Taking a deep breath through his mouth, he chokes a bit as he tries to regain composure.

Xavier Cross: “I’ve spent the last few months going on and on, how I’m so great. How I’m the best. How I’m the greatest gift God has ever given. I always knew I had something special. I always knew that my life was perfect. Too perfect. I’ve spent my life fighting, winning, surviving. I’ve tried to protect the people I care about…”

Fighting back the tears, we see Xavier bite his lip to keep control over himself. He clenches his fists, and takes another deep breathing, again he chokes up a bit.

Xavier Cross: “Its not okay…but it will be. Some day. Tonight, I’m broken hearted, for a long time I will never be the same person. However, I was never even close to God’s greatest gift…she was…”

Xavier Cross stands up from his seat, a lost look in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, you can hear him choke up. His eyes are baggy, and red. His face drained of color, his entire body shaking.

Xavier Cross: “It's my belief that there is a god out there watching over us all. I like to think that things happen for a reason. To give our lives meaning, and to explain the great tragedies we suffer though.

Some may be wondering how I’m out here, why I showed up tonight. Is the nCw staff cold hearted? Don’t jump to conclusions. My wife sacrificed a lot of her life, and she loved me, she loved what I do. I won’t miss a show. I’ll go out there tonight, and I’ll fight Ace. With everything I have in my tank, I’ll fight till I can’t fight anymore. I’ve spent so much time in these ropes fighting other athletes, but I’ve always made time to go home.

I refuse to regret it, but I can help but have some bubbled up feeling of guilt. I want more time with her, I want it so bad. I’d trade anything away for just one more day. But I can’t, its impossible. Forever she’ll be in my heart. When a man is backed into a corner, when he has nothing else left to give he pulls something out of a locked away place. His heart. That little extra strength, that second wind. That last gasp for something, that’s from the heart. Tonight, Win, Lose, or Draw, this match is for my wife. I don’t care what the outcome is, but I’m going to go out and do what I’ve spent our lives trying to do, be the best….”

Xavier pauses for a moment, his breathing skipping and heavy. He stares at the ceiling, looking beyond the confines of the concrete structure, into some place further, someplace he only can see. He opens his mouth, and chokes a bit. The man named Xavier Cross stands there, making no attempt to hide it from anyone. Tears slowly stream down his face as he stares into the ceiling.

“I love you…”

He looks down for a moment, shaking his head, wiping the tears away. He looks into the camera, a strange look on his face, a new fire has light up in his eyes. The camera watches him walk out of the locker room, and then slowly pans into zoom into a picture of his wife, Cari Thompson-Cross. After the moment of silence the camera comes back to Eric and Kelly.

nCw Cluster
nCw Power Rankings Seed Match
Brad Kane vs. Jason Evans vs. Sexy Jason vs. Sebastian Slone vs. Jack Wilde vs. Freakke the Carnival King vs. Mike Machado vs. Jack Hammond

Eric Hardy: After that very somber news.... Crossroads is off and running as we jump right into a match that could change the land scape of one division. Thats right, we're opening the show with an 8 man Power Rankings Elimination Seed Match.

Kelly Knite: Basically, we start with two guys, every two minutes a new guy enters, and when you get pinned or submitted you get the number you were eliminated at as your points this week in the rankings, so the longer you last the higher amount of points you get. The winner walks away with ten points and a possible title shot if he moves high enough up the ranks.

Eric Hardy: So lets get this party started right now.

" PUNCTURED LUNGS! "

After these words scream out across the arena and Consumed by Spineshank kicks in, Sebastian Slone steps out from behind the ring curtain. He is met by a barrage of boos from the crowd, which he ignores as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp, smiling sickeningly. Slone begins to walk down to the ring confidently, as his theme music continues to blare out. Slone reaches the ring. He climbs onto the apron and rolls into the ring. He stands up, instantly throwing his open hands into the air. This is met by more boos. Slone soaks these boos up, as if he's feeding off them. Slone drops his hands to his sides and walks over to the corner of the ring. He climbs onto the second turnbuckle and raises his open hands in the air once again.

"Look I can't change the way I think

And I can't change the way I am

But if I offended you?

Good

Cause I still don't give a ****"

The lights in the arena go out. The crowd gets on their feet and begin to give a general negative reaction. Strobe lights start as "Run Rabbit Run" by Eminem starts to overtake the airwaves. After fifty seconds the house lights return to normal as Brad Kane appears from on the stage now as he has a simple smirk on his face as the crowd begins to boo louder then before as they lay eyes on him. Brad starts his walk down to the ring as people yell at him, threaten him among other reactions that he dismisses without a second thought. Once at ringside, he walks around the ringside area, hearing more threats. More negative reaction follows as he completes his trip around the ring. Brad uses the steps to get into the apron before he enters through the middle rope. From there, he heads to the nearest turnbuckle and goes to the middle buckle. He takes in their negative reaction as he smirks before jumping off. He goes and leans in the corner with a huge smile on his face as "Run Rabbit Run" fades off...

Eric Hardy: Looks like Brad Kane and Sebastian Slone will be starting us off.

Kelly Knite: The entry numbers were chosen totally at random.... no surprise that Brad is first...

Eric Hardy: What does that mean? WAIT! Kane is getting this one started.

Like Eric said, Brad basically just jumped Slone in the corner. Slone is trying to block the shots but the flying fist to the face has knocked the sense right out of him.

Eric Hardy: Yeouch, no way a Brad Kane fist feels good.

Kelly Knite: No way in hell.

Brad is going crazy in the corner, throwing knee after knee after knee into Slone's midsection. Every time Slone tries to adjust and block, Brad changes where he's attacking. Slone stops the knees and Brad begins to ram elbow after elbow into his face.

Kelly Knite: Looks like Slone is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Eric Hardy: Brad is vicious tonight.

Kane whips around with a BK backfist and Slone nearly crumbles onto the mat but Kane spin kicks him n the stomach, turns and pump kicks him into the corner then just clothes line the living crap out of him before dropping Slone with the Love Megan Driver.

Eric Hardy: Absolutely no mercy tonight.

Kelly Knite: I'm pretty sure the entire Kane family was born without it.

Brad is done playing around and locks in the MLK clutch. Sebastian tries to struggle out of it but he has no where to go and gives in to the pain, but Brad isn't letting go.

Eric Hardy: Alright Brad, your pissed, let the kid go.

The ref is pleading with Brad to release the hold, and eventually he does, but Sebastian is rolling around on the mat claiming he heard something or felt something "pop."

Kelly Knite: Looks like Slone is in a bad way after that MLK Clutch from Brad Kane.

Eric Hardy: We may of seen the last of Sebastian Slone.

Slone is aided out of the ring by the med staff as...

Amber Ashe: First elimination is Sebastian Slone.

After the first snare roll stops, Freakke enters the ring and raises his arms to shoulder height and spins around some. He then turns for the second snare solo and holds up a back wards peace sign. When the lyrics start, he runs down the ramp getting close to both sides to get in touch with the fans. Once close enough to the ring he slides and stands up. After this he begins to remove his coat and hat and wait for his opponent.

Eric Hardy: Uh oh, Freakke is the last man who faced Brad before tonight and he knows what that MLK Clutch feels like all too well.

Freakke barely gets in the ring when Brad begins his assault on the poor guy. Stiff kicks right to Freakke's kidneys as he keeps trying to get up. The ref forces Brad back as Freakke grips the bottom rope and pulls himself up. Brad goes for Freakke again but Freakke counters with a back body drop that sends Brad spilling to the outside. Freakke takes a hold of the ropes and sling shots himself out of the ring with a cross body splash on the fallen Kane.

Kelly Knite: Nice high impact move from the Freakkish One.

Eric Hardy: All the impact of a pie with none of the clean up.

Freakke is quick to his feet to the pop of the crowd and rolls back inside, as he stands Brad latches on to his legs and rips them out from under him and pulls him back out of the ring. Freakke's face bounces off the floor. Brad rolls inside, gets up, flies across the ring, bounces off the ropes and comes back at full speed as Freakke stands up and goes flying through the ropes with a suicide dive.

Eric Hardy: Kane can fly when he has to and when he does, someone always gets hurt.

Brad stands up with Freakke and goes to send him into the ring post but Freakke puts up a boot and fires an elbow into Kane's face. Freakke turns and nails Brad with a spine buster right on the arena floor. Freakke goes back inside the ring and throws his hands up to the roar of the crowd before heading to the top rope. Brad is up and leaps onto the apron and climbs up and nails Freakke with a European upper cut. Freakke almost falls off the top rope as Brad climbs up and locks him in for a suplex. Brad lifts trying to suplex Freakke off the top rope to the outside but Freakke wriggles and squirms and SUPERPLEXS BRAD INTO THE RING!

"THIS IS AWESOME!"

5.....

Eric Hardy: Here comes entry number 4.

4.... 3.....2.....1!!!

Jack comes from the curtain with his robe painted with the colors of the USA Flag , walking focused to the ring and slapping the hands of his fans

Kelly Knite: ITS JACK WILDE!!!

Freakke is up and turns right into a TOOTH CLEANER FROM JACK WILDE! Brad tries to stand and catches a APPLE PIE CLASH! Jack looks ecstatic and makes the pin on Freakke but Freakke kicks out at Two. He tries to pin Brad and he kicks out at two as well.

Eric Hardy: Well he made a big splash and now he looks a little lost.

Kelly Knite: He's green Eric, real green.

Jack is up and he takes Brad by the hair and sends him into the corner but Freakke spins him around for a toe kick and a ddt. Freakke is up and happy but Brad nails him from behind with a clothes line and takes him by the hair and slams him back first into the mat. Wilde starts to get up and Brad hits him with a back fist followed by a spinning heel kick.

Eric Hardy: And here comes another brutal Brad Kane assault.

Kane sends Wilde into the corner but Freakke comes from the side with a body splash and then Irish whips Wilde into Kane who hits him with IMPENDING DOOM! Freakke comes off the top rope with the BIG TOP DROP! Freakke hooks the leg and One.. Two.. Three!

Amber Ashe: The second elimination is Jack Wilde.

Kelly Knite: Impressive team work, but it won't last.

Almost on cue, Brad goes for the JAK trigger but Freakke counters with a DRAGON SCREW! Freakke and Kane are both up and tie up, Brad forces Freakke into the corner but Freakke rolls behind him and locks in a full nelson and complete a Bubba Bomb. Freakke rolls back to his feet and drop kicks the seated Kane in the back.

5...4...3...2...1!!!!

The opening riff of skillets "hero" plays as lights seems to swirl around the roof of the arena. They then all come to rest at the same point on the stage where Jason Evans is standing, he starts making his way down to the ring with his arms out to the side touching the hands of outstretched fans. He slides into the ring and unzips his jacket and throws his sunglasses out into the crowd

Eric Hardy: It's Jason Evans, business is about to pick up Kelly.

Kelly Knite: Alex Jones' protege in the flesh, this should be exciting.

Freakke is up and Jason comes right for him. Freakke throws a right hand that Jason is able to duck and counter with a kick to the chest and a snapmare and a another kick across Freakke's back. Freakke writhes in pain as Jason spins him back to his feet and nails the leg trap arm breaker on Freakke.

Kelly Knite: Wow, this Evans kid is dangerous.

Evans spins to his feet and just manages to duck a high kick from the mast of kicks himself, Brad Kane. Kane and Evans smile before they both throw a kick and both their legs snap against each other at the shins. Both drop their legs and go high with the other with the same out come, but as Evans lowers his leg Brad punches him in the face and catches him off guard before pump kicking him in the gut and dropping the kid with a Russian leg sweep.

Eric Hardy: Well Evans started out strong, but that came to a quick end.

Kelly Knite: Brad Kane is on fire tonight.

Kane helps Evans to his feet and tries to send him into the corner but Evans blocks it and instead hits Brad with a code breaker. Kane staggers and Freakke comes from out of no where with a hurricanrana that sends Brad rolling across the ring. Freakke and Evans meet eye to eye again and Freakke blocks another kick from Evans and counters with an arm drag. Evans is right up and goes for fore arm shot but Freakke goes underneath him, hits the ropes and comes back with a pretty impressive spear.

Kelly Knite: For a littler dude, Freakke can sure plow through just about anyone.

Eric Hardy: Tell me about it.

Freakke doesn't get too long to relax because Brad Kane grabs him for a dragon sleeper ddt.

5...4....3....2....1

The arena is still buzzing from the night's events, the hubbub of the crowd settling slightly, the audience waiting for the next event. Then suddenly the crash of a cymbal followed by a short guitar riff rips out through the PA, the crowd getting to their feet with a cheer as white lights in the arena start flashing, the Tron showing Jack Hammond as he leans against his 911, grinning confidently, occasionally strobing with his name in bold letters and shots of him flying through the air or delivering a Charger or Mustang from his previous matches, or holding the World Championship or X-Division Title above his head. As the second riff finishes, a pair of drumsticks beat out before the whole band comes in, just as Jack Hammond strides through with a confident grin as the lights flash above him and images of his high-flying antics from previous matches play on Tron as he observes the maddening crowd, before he jumps forward, landing with a hard stomp, a white pyro exploding behind him, his arms raised as he yells and wheels about. He strides down the ramp towards the ring, occasionally delivering a couple of friendly high-fives to nearby audience members who reach out towards him just as the lyrics start. He jumps onto the ring apron before hopping over the top rope.

Eric Hardy: Oh snapz, it's the HAMSTER!!!!

Hammy goes for Brad and they lock up. Hammy goes behind him for a waist lock take down. Hammy slides over the top of Brad and stands him back up for a German that Brad rolls through and tries to counter with his own but Hammy rolls through that and Germans Brad again this time with a bridge. One.. Two KICK OUT!

Kelly Knite: Look at Hammy go.

Eric Hardy: His speed and devil may care attitude is what keeps him in the fan's hearts.

Hammy is up but Freakke comes in from behind with a full nelson slam. In turn, Evans hits Freakke with a hip toss. Brad is up and Evans tries for a vertical suplex and connects. Jack is off the ropes with a drop kick to Evans. Freakke is back with a forearm shot to Hammy and a swinging neck breaker.

Eric Hardy: Things are getting crazy.

Kelly Knite: Everyone is getting their shots in.

Evans hits a leaping enzugiri on Freakke and the stiff combo, a snapmare into a soccer kick to back followed by a roundhouse to the chest and a running elbow drop off the ropes. Evans covers Freakke. One.. Two.. KICK OUT!

Kelly Knite: Close call for Evans.

Evans is up and Brad Kane comes from out of no where with BK BACKFIST! Evans staggers into the corner and Hammo goes for the MUSTANG! But Evans rolls out of the way, Hammo collides with the turn buckles and Evans comes back in with a shining wizard.

Eric Hardy: A shining wizard to Hammy's back and Evans seems to be in momentary control.

Freakke grabs Evans as he tries to stand and drop toe holds him onto the second rope then jumps on his back choking him against the ropes. Freakke gets off of him and Brad clothes lines him out of the ring.

5...4...3...2...1

Look at me by Shram.. Sexy Jason comes out from the curtain. He looks at the crowd. He walks towards the ring. He shows no emotions. He enters the ring.

Eric Hardy: The sexy one has arrived Kelly.

Kelly Knite: Which is bad news bears because he's the freshest man in the ring.

Kane turns around and goes for Jason who catches him total off guard with the SEX-perience. Evans sees Jason and makes a move for him but Jason kicks him in the gut and hits the Sexy Plex. Hammo is up, but barely awake and Jason spins him around for the LOVEGUN! Sexy Jason pins Hammo. One.. Two.. Three!

Amber Ashe: Third Elimination is Jack Hammond.

Eric Hardy: That was fast.

Kelly Knite: Just the way Sexy Jason likes it.

Freakke comes from off the top rope with a cross body but Jason grabs him and tosses him with a fall away slam. Jason is right up and just kicks Brad as hard as he can and pulls him in for a double arm ddt. Evans starts to get up but Jason upper cuts him so hard he flies into the corner where Jason plows into him with a clothes line then double handed choke tosses him half way across the ring. Freakke tries to attack again and gets a few clubbing shots in before Jason turns with a discus lariat and levels Freakke.

Kelly Knite: Christ, when did Sexy Jason become so brutal?

Eric Hardy: Maybe he got tired of all the jokes?

Sexy Jason stands Freakke up and Irish whips him so hard into the corner that Freakke hits and immediately goes down onto his face. Evans flies off the ropes and onto Jason's back where he locks in a choke hold. Sexy Jason goes full steam back ward and rams Evans against the turn buckles then grabs him around the head and snap mares him onto his back. Sexy Jason looks primed for something when Brad Kane super kicks Jason across the jaw.

Eric Hardy: Did you hear the smack from that kick?

Kelly Knite: Jason may need to go to the dentist after that.

Brad hits Jason with the Moment of Impact and tries for a cover but Jason is quick to kick out and both men get to their feet when Freakke and Jason Evans run into them with double clothes lines and send both men out of the ring. Evans goes off the ropes and sling shots himself out of the ring with a 450 splash onto Sexy Jason, Freakke the clown heads to the top for a simultaneous Big Top Drop on Brad Kane to the outside.

5...4...3...2..1

"Soooooy un perdedor, I'm a loser a baby - so why don't ya kill me" BOOM! Pyrotechnics explode in an extravagant fireworks display, as "Loser" by Beck blares throughout the arena. "Mediocre" Mike Machado stumbles through the smoke that is remaining, fanning his face and gasping for oxygen. The fans give him a mixed but generally positive response; a mixture of pitied cheers and genuinely appreciative roars. A feint chant of "Me-di-ocre" starts up as Machado makes it to the ring.

Kelly Knite: And the last man in the ring is Mike Machado.

Machado sees the melee outside of the ring and choses to get in. Freakke is first back in the ring and Machado seems pretty confident he can take him. Mike goes on the offense and slams into Freakke with a shoulder block, Freakke doesn't even move. Almost immediately Machado backs off into a corner and begins to beg Freakke not to hurt him, Freakke seems confused and just turns around. At this point Mike rams into him again, this time sending him into the ropes. Mike takes a fist full of hair and turns Freakke around and tries for a kick to the gut and a club over the back. Freakke seems mildly hurt and responds with a throat jab. Mike goes down hard and rolls right out of the ring.

Eric Hardy: Not the smartest thing he's done today.

Mike rolls right into Jason Evans. Slowly he turns around and catches a forearm across the face and a snap suplex on the arena floor. Evans rolls into the ring to meet Freakke. The two hit each other with clothes lines and Freakke jabs Evans in the face before going off the ropes and trying for a bull dog but Evans no sells it and Freakke hits the mat. Freakke is up and Evans lays him out with the SPIN CYCLE! He makes the cover. One.. Two.. Three!

Amber Ashe: Fourth Elimination is Freakke the Carnival King.

Eric Hardy: Freakke was in this thing from nearly the beginning, but Evans took him out just now.

Kelly Knite: A great showing by Freakke tonight, nothing to feel sorry about.

Evans doesn't have long to celebrate because Sexy Jason lays him out hard with a clubbing blow over the back followed by a release German suplex. Mike Machado is currently trying to stay out of sight as Brad Kane gets back to his feet and re enters the ring.

Kelly Knite: What the hell is Machado doing?

Eric Hardy: Hiding.

Kelly Knite: Where does Diamond find these guys?

Brad is in the ring and he locks it up with Jason but Jason slams him down to the mat pretty hard. Brad tries to get right back up but Jason clothes lines him then boxes his ears and completes the attack with a scoop slam. Mike Machado comes from out of no where like a buzzing bird and side swipes Jason with a DDT but Jason isn't having it and Machado throws himself down onto the mat. Sexy Jason shakes his head and laughs as he reaches down for Machado who latches on for dear life with a ROLL UP!!!! Jason kicks and screams as the ref counts. One.. Two... BARELY A KICK OUT!

Kelly Knite: So he does have some skill.

Eric Hardy: Apparently.

Machado is pretty pissed that someone kicked out of the roll up and gets to his feet and backs the ref into the corner and begins to yell at him. Not even realizing that Jason is back up, as well as Brad Kane and Evans.

Eric Hardy: Hah, this is going to end well.

Machado slowly realizes the ref is laughing at him and begins to run around and right into a JAK TRIGGER! Then a SEXY RELAXER! And finally a 450 splash from Evans.

Kelly Knite: I'm guessing Machado is all done for the night.

Eric Hardy: Oh definitely.

Before anyone has the chance to do anything about the guy on the ground, Sexy Jason hits Jason Evans with the SEX DRIVE! But before Sexy Jason can even pin Evans, Brad Kane slaps him in to the MLK CLUTCH! Brad drags Jason to the mat where Jason struggles with everything he has but eventually he gives in and taps out to the move.

Fifth Elimination is Sexy Jason Lovegun.

Eric Hardy: Oh, tough luck for Sexy Jason. He really brought the heat tonight, but Brad Kane caught him off guard.

Kelly Knite: You absolutely can never take your eyes off of Brad Kane.

Kane releases Jason and gets to his feet, where Evans is left staggering. Brad smiles and lines up another shot but his kick misses the target and Evans counters with a drop down upper cut right into a STO! Brad is dazed as he tries to get up and catches a drop kick across the mouth that sends him spilling into the ropes. Evans looks super excited as he goes off the ropes and comes right at Brad Kane with a diving cross body block.

Eric Hardy: Jason Evans with a second win.

Kelly Knite: He reminds me allot of AJ.

Eric Hardy: He's quick, agile, and pretty lethal.

Evans stands Brad up and sends him into the corner and follows him in with a shining wizard and a running bull dog. Now with Evans in full control of this match he turns his attention to Machado who is finally back to his feet.

Kelly Knite: AGAIN we're turning our backs on the more dangerous competitor.

Machado shakes the cob webs loose as Evans comes in with a fore arm shot but he some how ducks it, almost surprised that he did he totally doesn't see the back fist or the high knee. Machado slumps and Evans takes a hold of him but Machado goes for a Irish whip followed by a clothes line however he runs right into the unmoving body of Jason Evans, which is like hitting a brick wall and falls to the mat. Jason Evans can't even believe this crap as he bends down to grab Machado. MIGHT OF MEDIOCRITY INSIDE CRADLE! Machado has it, One.. Two.. THREE!?

Amber Ashe: Sixth Elimination is Jason Evans.

Eric Hardy: Really?

Kelly Knite: No way.

Eric Hardy: I'm a little stunned.

Kelly Knite: Not as much as Machado is.

Mike can't believe it, he's floored at how awesome he just was. He can't even believe it, and for about a fifth of a second the entire crowd is on his side. That is until he backs into Brad Kane. Machado turns and throws a right hand, which Brad ducks, a left that he blocks and Brad head butts Machado hard in the face.

Eric Hardy: Brad Kane is done playing Kelly, and he isn't impressed by the inside cradle at all.

Machado backs off and Brad Kane whip kicks him so hard in the side of the head that Mike just crumbles. Brad stalks him and picks him up by the hair, he holds onto him for a second and yells something profane in his face before laying Mike out with Impending Doom, and just for the fun of it he locks in the MLK Clutch.

Kelly Knite: Insult to injury.

Eric Hardy: Brad Kane isn't what we call subtle.

Mike Machado is completely out and the ref calls the match.

Amber Ashe: And the winner of the Power Rankings Seed Match... BRAD KANE!

Eric Hardy: Brad was the first one in and the last one out and he did it by choking the living crap out of everyone who got too close.

Kelly Knite: I'm not a fan of the guy, but he is rapidly becoming the most dangerous guy on the roster.

Machado is still out cold as Brad Kane stands in the center of the ring, flipping off the ref and the rest of the crowd as his music plays.

Eric Hardy: A fantastic win for Brad Kane, but there is no time to dwaddle here, we have an X-Division title match coming up.

Kelly Knite: A match that will be fantastic I might add.. these two are the future of NCW, I have a feeling they will cross paths many more times after this.

nCw X-Division Championship
Singles Match
Andrew Jacobsen* vs. Paul Star

An air raid siren splits the air, followed by the pounding opening riff of Disturbed's "Indestructible". Andrew Jacobsen strides out onto the stage wearing the X-Division Title, followed by his manager, Emma Danielson. He looks around at the fans, absorbing the atmosphere.

Another mission, the powers have called me away
Another time to carry the colors again
My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend
To win the honor of coming back home again
No explanation will matter after we begin
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
My true vocation and now my unfortunate friend
You will discover a war you're unable to win

Andrew begins walking down the ramp with Emma, pyro flares going off on either side of him as he makes his way to the ring.

I'll have you know
That I've become
Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war!

Andrew slides into the ring, jumping onto the second turnbuckle and pulling the title off his waist. He poses with it for the crowd, a broad smile on his face. Andrew jumps down and hands the title to Emma, who goes to sit over by the timekeeper. Andrew then awaits his opponent.

Kelly Knite: “And there is the X-Division champion in all his glory.”

Eric Hardy: “Paul Star looks for the upset tonight. Will Jacobsen let it slip? Will Star become the new champion?”

Kelly Knite: “Andrew Jacobsen has been a long reigning champion, taking it from Rob Diamond.”

Eric Hardy: “Will tonight be the night Jacobsen’s reign ends? And here comes the challenger…”

A strange guitar riff plays through the PA for a couple of seconds, and as the drums and guitar intro of the song Ladies and Gentlemen kicks in, there's a big explosion as the whole entrance area lights up in pyro. After this happens, Paul Star steps out from behind the entrance curtain and is met by the cheers of the crowd. Paul stands at the top of the entrance ramp and salutes the crowd, then starts walking down to the ring while singing the lyrics to the song and giving crowd members high fives. Paul rolls into the ring and walks to the nearest corner. He climbs to the second turnbuckle and raises both hands high in the air. The crowd cheer on as Paul gives his signature smile.

Kelly Knite: “Paul Star has found limited success here in nCw.”

Eric Hardy: “He is challenging for the X-Division title tonight, he has to have found some.”

Kelly Knite: “Just enough to face Jacobsen.”

Jacobsen leans in his corner, while Star plays towards the fans. The ref stares at both men for a moment, before signaling for the bell. The match begins.

Both men step out a few feet before circling each other. Star immediately goes for a take down, reaching for Jacobsen’s foot. But Jacobsen quickly leaps, stepping on the back of Paul Star, and leaping across the ring. Mocking his opponent Jacobsen yawns, and leans against the ropes. Star quickly gets up, frustrated.

Jacobsen motions for Star to come at him. Star charges forward, and Jacobsen ducks at the last second sending Star over the ropes. But Star hangs on as Jacobsen mocks him once again. Star taps Jacobsen on the back before hitting him with a huge kick to the head which dazes Jacobsen for a moment. Jacobsen reaches forward grabbing at Star, but Star hit’s a forearm smash to Jacobsen who falls onto his back.

Quickly, Star stays on the offensive, hitting his flipping leg drop across the throat of Jacobsen. Looking for the quick upset, Paul hooks the leg and the ref slides into position. 1... 2. Kick out by Jacobsen.

Eric Hardy: “A quick pin attempt by Paul Star.”

Kelly Knite: “He’s looking to catch Andrew Jacobsen off guard as much as possible.”

Star quickly returns to his feet, as Jacobsen slowly rises, holding his throat. Star quickly locks up, but Jacobsen hit’s a knee to the abdomen, Andrew makes his way behind Star with a speedy move, before leaping into the air warping his arms around Star’s throat, and his legs around Star’s stomach locking in a Rear Naked Choke.

Both men fall to the ground, but Jacobsen keeps the hold locked in. Paul fights for the air, as the ref checks to see if he wants to give up. Paul shrugs the ref off rolling over reaching for the ropes. Jacobsen locks the hold in tighter as Paul’s fingers are inches away from the ropes. Jacobsen tries to wrench him away, but Paul quickly grabs onto the ropes forcing Jacobsen to break the hold. Paul rolls to the outside of the apron. Pulling himself up, Jacobsen rolls to a knee looking at his opponent.

Kelly Knite: “It looked like Jacobsen had this match over with, as he locked in that hold.”

Eric Hardy: “The Young Star, with Veteran Ring Awareness, always great to have.”

Kelly Knite: “Young. Star. How lame are you?”

Jacobsen waists no time, quickly launching himself through the second rope and spearing Paul to the outside with some spear-suicide dive combination. Both men hit the floor with a serious impact. Jacobsen rolls holding his shoulder, Paul clutches his back. Both men quickly roll to their knees, and give each other a smirk. Paul quickly hops to his feet, and so does Jacobsen. Both men quickly side step and launch a super kick connecting with each others chins before collapsing to the ground.

The ref checks both men from the comfort of the ring, before starting the count. 1.… 2.… 3.…

Kelly Knite: “The ref gets to three, and both men have shown little motion.”

Eric Hardy: “Much like your sex life?”

Jacobsen stirs a little moving his hand. Paul Star is moving his head a bit, shifting. 4... 5... Jacobsen is pushing himself to his hands and knees, Star is making his way to the Spanish announce table. Jacobsen finally gets to his feet. 6... 7... 8... Andrew Jacobsen staggers towards the ring, sliding half of his body in. But instead of staying in for the count out win, he slides back out, restarting the ref’s count.

Kelly Knite: “How stupid of Jacobsen, he could have had this match over with.”

Eric Hardy: “He’s a competitor, and he isn’t going to pick up a win as cheap as this.”

Paul is up, leaning onto the announce table. Jacobsen makes his way towards Paul. Star quickly reacts poking Jacobsen in the eye. Jacobsen staggers back, as Paul looks to hit a clothesline, but Jacobsen ducks it, spinning Star around, clutching him. Quickly hooking the leg, Jacobsen sets up for the Borealis. But Star counters it, trying to roll out of it, but Jacobsen quickly shifts his body, increasing momentum and hitting the Borealis, putting Star through the Spanish announce table.

Eric Hardy: “Our Spanish Announce Team’s budget for 2010 starts off rough…”

Kelly Knite: “Those guys have the worst luck.”

Eric Hardy: “At least it isn’t us…”

Jacobsen quickly returns to his feet, listening to the Ref who is on the count of six. Jacobsen reaches down grabbing Star by the hair and slides him into the ring, following suit. The ref stops his count, and checks Star for consciousness, Star quickly gets to his knees, as Jacobsen takes a short breather in the corner.

Jacobsen explodes out of the corner, looking to catch Paul off guard, but Paul hit’s a drop toe hold sending Jacobsen face first into the mat. Quickly keeping up his momentum, Paul returns to his feet, gripping one of Jacobsen’s legs locking in a single leg boston crab. Wrenching it backwards, Paul looks to force Jacobsen into submission.

Eric Hardy: “A little pay back with a submission of his own…”

Kelly Knite: “He keeps pushing that leg back, it may just snap. Yuck.”

Paul plants his feet firmly, wrapping his arms tightly around the leg pulling it backwards. Jacobsen screams out in agony, but tries to make his way towards the ropes. Paul has enough awareness to realize how close Andrew is from grabbing the ropes, that he pulls him back. Jacobsen takes advantage of Paul walking, to twist himself around kicking Paul in the back, sending him forward into the corner.

Jacobsen rolls over, clutching his knee as he staggers to his feet. Andrew quickly runs at Paul who throws a shoulder up catching Jacobsen in the jaw. Jacobsen staggers back, as Star quickly ascends the turnbuckle launching himself off hitting a diving cross body. Star quickly hooks the leg. 1.. 2... Jacobsen kicks out at 2.8.

Eric Hardy: “Another pin attempt by Star, that’s two, and that one was extra close.”

Kelly Knite: “Extra close? Just like you and Chris Lights?”

Eric Hardy: “You shut up Kelly…”

Paul is the first to return to his feet, as Jacobsen picks himself up. Trying to stay on the offensive, Star scouts the leg he had used in the boston crab, so when Andrew gets to his feet. Star immediately attacks the hurt leg with a low aimed drop kick, putting Jacobsen on one knee. Quickly Star keeps it rolling as he runs to the ropes, spring boarding and hitting a DDT variation planting Jacobsen head first into the mat. Paul quickly rolls Jacobsen over, looking for the pin once more. One… Two.. Thr-

Kelly Knite: “Paul Star just can’t put the champ away.”

Eric Hardy: “Just like…”

Kelly Knite: “No…shut up, you just, you’re lame Eric Hardy. Lame!”

No, Jacobsen kicks out at the last second once again. Paul gets to his knees visibly angry now, not being able to put the X-Division champion away. Paul returns to his feet, and helps Jacobsen to his. Pushing the champion into the corner, Paul quickly charges in splashing Jacobsen. Paul steps back for a moment before aiming a super kick, but Jacobsen catches the foot and pulls Paul in. Quickly clutching, Jacobsen this a series of moves. First Jacobsen hit’s a german suplex, but he isn’t finished as he adjust and rolls into a dragon suplex, quickly lifting Paul up and slamming him into the mat once more, then locks in and nails a straight jacket suplex and bridges into it for the pin. 1... 2.. Paul kicks out at 2.4.

Eric Hardy: “Finally a pin attempt by the champ, but Paul kicks out at about 2 and a half.”

Kelly Knite: “Close call, lots of ‘em tonight.”

Jacobsen quickly rolls putting space between himself and the challenger, as he slowly returns to his feet favoring his knee. Paul is holding the back of his neck after the series of devastating moves that stem from the Chimera-Plex. Paul returns to his feet, staggering into the corner. Jacobsen quickly gets on the move slamming a high knee into Paul, forcing him into the corner. Quickly lifting Paul up, Jacobsen hit’s the snake eyes, Paul clutches is face and quickly gets away from Jacobsen.

Eric Hardy: “Ouch…Paul has to be seeing double right now…”

Star staggers away, Jacobsen steps closer, Paul turns around. Jacobsen looks to hit his lights out super kick, but Star ducks reaching up grabbing Jacobsen from the side, leaning him over while throwing a knee to the stomach. Locking in a pump handle, while he lifts Jacobsen he swifts positions and nails a reverse pile driver, nailing the Attitude Injection. Paul quickly rolls over on Jacobsen for the cover. 1..2..3

Eric Hardy: “New champ. Upset alert!”

Kelly Knite: And we have our first title change of the night! Is that the first of many? Or the only one?

Eric Hardy: I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but I have a feeling that Angel won't be able to stop Gib later tonight.

Kelly Knite: oh me too, but it'll be a fantastic match...

Eric Hardy: Yes, but we are getting a head of ourselve if we haven't had an exciting enough night, we have the tag team championship match next.

Kelly Knite: Yes, and it should be a great match, all three of these teams want this bad, espcially Motor City Mafia, it could be their last chance at these titles.

Eric Hardy: Yes, you can guarantee they will be wrestling this match as if it was their last one.

nCw World Tag Team Championship
3 Way Match
Dirty Deal* vs. Bad Company vs. Motor City Mafia

{A soothing southern twang of a guitar wafts through the arena speakers.

If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I just as soon stay home
If they ain't got no Eight Mile
Like they do up in the D
Just send me to Hell or Salt Lake City
It would be about the same to me
It would be about the same to me

The intro then quickly transforms into the opening riff of “Heaven” by Uncle Kracker as Johnny Rotten and Jayson Matthews, step out from behind the black curtain to a large amount of cheers from the nCw crowd. Johnny stands in the middle of the ramp, swigging on a long neck bottle of some Pabst Blue Ribbon, as the young energetic Jayson Matthews runs from side to side successfully hyping up the crowd in attendance. The duo fist bump and then they begin to make there way down the ramp.

Detroit city
From Aretha to Aaliyah
To Bob Segar to
Joe Louis n' his arena and now me
Paradime the mic of overachievers
Smokin sewer caps bottom feeders and parking meters
A bunch of bad dudes in the mad brew and tattoos
So think twice before you pass through
Or get clapped through whack crews get hurt
We can take you for a ride (ride)
Or take you for your shirt (shirt)
I did it in the Bronx, I did in in Queens
And you can see me do it, do it, down in New Orleans
Fat backs and greens
I'm the scene of amazement
You'll be picking all your teeth up from the ****in pavement
Is that Kracker with a C
No Kracker with a K
Kracker mother ****er all *** damn day
You could take Gratiot south, but that's a real rough route
You'll get found face down with your pockets hangin out

Johnny Rotten places his palms on the top rope and pulls himself onto the apron and swings his legs over the top as Jayson just hops over with the minimalist of effort. Jayson hangs over the top rope using the second rope as support and Johnny stands behind him. They both throw there rock hands in the air as pyro shoot from the turnbuckles. The music slowly fades as the McM await there opponents.}

{ad Company by Five Finger Death Punch starts to blare of the PA as Fergus Callaghan and Joe Everyman step onto the stage. A mixture of cheers and booze are heard throughout the crowd. Fergus and Joe walk to the ring with Marie behind them. Fergus reaches the ring first and does a flip over the rope and lands on his feet. Maria climbs up and Joe helps her into the ring by lowering the middle rope and then Joe enters.}

{The lights begin to flash as "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC hits the speakers. Ron Gibson and Curtis Kanyon 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, 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. 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.}

Eric Hardy: Here we go, it's finally time for this....you ready for it Kelly.

Kelly Knite: How, I've been ready for this for longer than you have.

{The match starts off with Fergus and Jayson Matthews kicking off the match. Fergus charges at Matthews and running kicks him in the gut, with Matthews slumped over Fergus begins clubbing him with his forearm hard in the back of the neck and back, bringing him down to his knee. Fergus runs and hits the ropes, he comes back and flips over Jayson and hits a flip over neck breaker. Fergus keeps a hold of Matthews head and flips him over and brings Jayson back to his feet, where he immediately lifts him up into a vertical suplex. Fergus holds him there then drops him after several seconds. Fergus tags in his partner, Everyman, and the two lift Matthews back up where Fergus lifts him into a scoop and throws him forward where Everyman catches his head into a DDT. Fergus exits and Everyman covers 1....2... but Matthews throws his shoulder up. Everyman grabs Matthews off the mat and pulls him towards his corner where Fergus his foot on the rope, Everyman slams Matthews face into the foot and tags Fergus right back in the match.}

Eric Hardy: Bad Company is working well together here.

Kelly Knite: They are looking pretty good.

Eric Hardy: They keep this up, and they have a great chance of walking out with the tag titles.

{Fergus doesn't jump into the ring, instead he climbs up to the top of the turnbuckles where he perches himself and waits as Matthews pushes himself back to his feet, when he does Fergus leaps off and hits the flying clothesline, sending Matthews done again. Fergus covers 1...2... but again Mattthews is able to lift a shoulder. Fergus attempts to pull Jayson back to his feet, but from the ground Jayson punches Fergus across the chops, then grabs his head and rolling him up, the ref slides in 1... but Fergus forces his way free. Both men are quick to jump back to there feet, Matthews runs straight for Fergus but Fergies ducks and Matthews cant' stop himself before he runs into Dirty Deal's corner and runs right into the right fist of Curtis Kanyon! Kanyon takes this opportunity to jump into the ring, tagging himself in. Fergus turns around and Kanyon levels him with the Dirty Demolition! He covers 1....2..... but here comes Johnny Rotten who stomps the back of Kanyon hard.}

Kelly Knite: Kanyon leveled Fergus, and Rotten saved the match.

Eric Hardy: Fergus wasn't expecting Kanyon to bring himself into the match, and was just completely blindsided.

Kelly Knite: He was doing so great until then too.

{Kanyon jerks Fergus to his feet and whips him hard straight back into the MCM corner. He points at Rotten and screams for him to make the tag, which Rotten has no problem doing.}

Eric Hardy: Oh, Kanyon is calling Rotten into the match.

Kelly Knite: Kanyon may be a self centered jerk, but the dude's got balls.

Eric Hardy: He won't ever back down from a chance to fight.

{Rotten and Kanyon rush at one another and begin both throwing wild blows. Rotten gets the upper hand, and hits Kanyon in the mouth with an elbow stunning him. He throws a left punch and the crowd begins to chant for the Tequila combo, One Tequila, two Tequila, Three Tequila.... Rotten winds up and levels Kanyon with a right... FLOOR! Rotten isn't done as he charges at Gibson know and levels him with a punch rocking him to a knee on the apron. The fans cheer as Rotten is going crazy, he runs towards the other corner and levels Everyman with a running big boot FACE MANGLER that sends him flying off the apron and into the steel ring barriers. Kanyon is turning over and trying to get back to his feet at this point, when he does, Rotten stomps his foot and readies himself, Kanyon turns around and here comes Rotten who misses!}

Eric Hardy: Rotten missed the Face Mangler on Kanyon.

Kelly Knite: Kanyon just moved out of the way at the last second!

Eric Hardy:And now here comes Kanyon firing right back after Rotten laid everybody in this match out.....

{Rotten hits the breaks but from behind Kanyon grabs him and brings a knee up and into the ribs of Rotten bending him back. Kanyon grabs his head and lifts and hits the Vicious Spiral! He quickly covers 1...2.... but Rotten puts a shoulder up!}

Kelly Knite: My gawd, I thought it was over!

Eric Hardy: You weren't the only one...

{Kanyon takes Rotten by the head and begins violently putting fist after fist into it, Rotten tries to shoves Kanyon's fists away but it has no effect. Finally Kanyon brings Rotten to his feet and runs him head first into the Dirty Deal corner where he tags Gibson in, who has an evil smile on his face. Kanyon lifts Rotten with a back body drop out of the corner and Gibson gets into place and catches him on the way down for a neck breaker. Kanyon rolls out of the ring and to the apron, while Gibson pulls Rotten to the centet of the ring, the fans begin booing as they know what is coming now. He gets ready to spit the loogier when suddenly Jayson Matthews rushes the ring and tackles him! Matthews stays on top of Gibson and begins nailing him with wild punches.}

Kelly Knite: Matthews just saved his Partner from the People's loogie...

Eric Hardy: That's a true friend, somebody at this table should take lessons.

Kelly Knite: **kasplit**

Eric Hardy: Did you just spit on my note sheet?

Kelly Knite: Yeap...

Eric Hardy: Well that was certainly uncalled for.

{Fergus now slides into the ring as well, he pulls Matthews off of Gibson, ducks a wilde swing, and catches Jayson, and then throws up up and over with a Tbone suplex! Everyman slides back into the ring, Rotten is getting up to his feet and Everyman comes in and kicks him in the stoamch and TWIST OF FATE!}

Eric Hardy: I guess Joe didn't like that Face Mangler earlier...

Kelly Knite: Well duh....

{Joe and Fergus are both back up and side by side when suddenly a running Kanyon double Dirty Demolitions them! The fans begin booing as Gibson pushes Rotten over and throws and arm over his chest. Kanyon steps back as the referee slides into place 1....2.... but Matthews dives back into the picture!}

Kelly Knite: Where did Matthews come from!?

Eric Hardy: Wow, I thought Dirty Deal had manage to steal another one here... but Matthews wasn't having it.

{Gibson and Kanyon shove the referee away who is trying to restore order and they lift Matthews back to his feet. They lift him up and hit the Heart Attack! With Matthews on the ground, both members of Dirty Deal spit on him and hit the double Loogie Elbow! Both men get to their feet and high five each other as they then turn their attentions to Rotten who is trying to make his way back to his feet. They begin bringing the boots to him but suddenly Everyman and Fergus are back! Everyman suddenly comes up behind Gibson and EKO! Fergus grabs Kanyon and Irish whips him across the ring into the corner, runs after him and hits a big running clothesline that almost takes Kanyon's head off. He steps back and Joe takes off and hits the same move! Kanyon begins to stumble out of the corner but Joe shoves him back in and he and Fergus set up.}

Kelly Knite: This is getting out of hand...

Eric Hardy: You can say that again.

{Joe grabs Fergie and sends him flying with a hard whip into Kanyon, but at the last second pulls the referee right in front of him! The referee falls tot he mat and Joe doesn't even notice as he turns back and begins beating on Rotten some more. Russel slides the briefcase in and Kanyon smashes it into the face of Fergie.}

Eric Hardy: Oh no... now things are really out of control...

Kelly Kntie: Great, these two are going to cheat themselves to another victory.

{Everyman turns around and he takes the same fate! Kanyon helps Gibson up and puts him on top of Everyman as Kanyon goes to help the referee back to his feet. Suddenly the fans jump to their feet as... Magically Delicious hit the ring!}

Kelly Knite: Oh my gawd, what in the hell is this!?

Eric Hardy: It's Magically Delicious!

Kelly Knite: Oh somebody shoot me....

{Hexx and Happy slide into the ring, Happy has a picture of Ayla St. James in his hand and smashes it into the face of Kanyon! He grabs the picture out of the broken glass pile and holds it to his chest as he slides out of the ring. Hexx meanwhile takes his voo doo staff and smashes it into the back of Gibson's skull. Gibson rolls off of Joe, and Rotten crawls over and throws an arm over Gibson. The referee slowly makes his way right after Hexx joins Happy on the outside 1....2....3! }

Eric Hardy: Motor City Mafia! They're the new tag team champions!

Kelly Knite: Screw that... why are Hexx and Happy here!?

Eric Hardy: I don't know Kelly, but they just cost Dirty Deal this match.....

Kelly Knite: Well then I love those ugly bastards.

{MCM both roll out of the ring as the ring attendents hand them the tag team belts and the fans cheer them on.}

Eric Hardy: Next up is a real strange one. A match that’s being held in a location miles from here. A match some say that is completely insane. I’m talking of course about the Empty Asylum match.

Kelly Knite: Leave it to a man like Sephiroth du Lac to come up with this one. The guy is off his nut anyway and now he comes up with the creepiest place to have a hardcore match ever.

Eric Hardy: That’s right. Anything can and will happen in this amazing match up. An empty asylum. Two men enter. One man leaves and the other stays the night! I can’t imagine anything worse than that.

Kelly Knite: I can and I do it every week.

Eric Hardy: What?

Kelly Knite: Deal with you.

Eric Hardy: Very funny. We now cut live to Weston, West Virginia. To the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.

Empty Asylum Match
Grudge Match
Sephiroth Du Lac vs. Tempestad

The tron turns on and shows the darkened asylum halls and the two men standing in a hallway. Both men seem focused on the other as the ref comes into view. The camera then cuts to the feed itself and we can still hear the audience cheering in the background as they watch. The referee, Mitch Kennedy, explains the rules to the two men.

Mitch Kennedy: All right. Falls count anywhere. Submissions are allowed. If you can’t continue the match will be over. Medical personnel are standing by. If either of you forfeit or quit you must spend the night. If you lose you will spend the night. The doors will be locked on my signal. May the best man win. Now shake hands.

The two men just stare at each other intensely. Neither one moving. Their eyes fixated on each other. Mitch Kennedy repeats himself once more.

Mitch Kennedy: Shake hands!

The two men stand eye to eye until finally Tempestad extends his hand. Seph looks down and with a begrudging motion he shakes Tempestad’s hand. The two men stare each other down and Mitch turns to give the signal. When he does both men tense and Seph suddenly moves pulling Tempestad right into a clothesline. The bell sounds in the arena as the fans boo Seph’s preemptive attack. Seph moves to grab Tempestad up but Tempestad monkey flips Du Lac to the ground. Both men scramble to their feet and charge toward the other fists flying. Both men exchanging rights and lefts as they fight back one another’s blows. Tempestad takes a quick advantage and ducks a right by Du Lac. He spins the sanguine assassin around and irish whips him into a nearby cell door. Tempoestad grabs the video camera cord and begins to choke Du Lac with it. Seph reaches out straining to loosen the wire round his throat.

Eric Hardy: Tempestad taking the early advantage. Trying to choke Seph out and end the match quickly.

Kelly Knite: A smart move against anyone else but can you choke out a vampire? I mean do they actually breathe?

Eric Hardy: I’m… not sure.

Seph reaches out and grabs a nearby 2 x 4. He lifts the plank and slams Tempestad right in the top of the forehead. Tempestad releases and clutches his head from the blow. Seph unwraps the cord and stands with the plank in hand. Seph goes on the offensive slamming the 2 x 4 against the back of Tempestad. Tempestad reels from the blow but Seph continues the assault. He grabs the 2 x 4 up and uses it as a battering ram charging and nailing Tempestad right in the head. Tempestad goes to one knee as the fallen one lays the 2 x 4 right into Tempestad’s back. Tempestad screams and falls down and Seph tosses the plank away.

Eric Hardy: Vicious assault to Tempestad by Du Lac. You know the environment is going to play a huge part of this match.

Kelly Knite: Gee, ya think so?

Eric Hardy: Shut up.

Du Lac smiles lifting the smaller Tempestad to his feet. Du Lac lays in a right then a left. Then another right. Seph steps back and goes for the Super Kick. Tempestad rolls and grabs some debris. Seph turns and he throws the debris in Du Lac’s face. Du Lac reels blindly for a moment until Tempestad charges pushing Du Lac into a nearby room. Both men slam to the floor where broken glass from a nearby window digs into them. Seph rolls in pain as Tempestad tries to stand. He lifts Du Lac up but Seph reverses looking to hit an early Fallen Angel DDT. Tempestad quickly pushes Du Lac off. Seph falls back to the wall and Tempestad charges. Seph moves out of the way and Tempestad runs full speed he runs up the wall and flips back to his feet where Seph charges and nails a hard clothesline sending Tempestad into the glass this time. Both men lie there for a second before Seph rises and lifts Tempestad up to his feet. Seph then moves to a nearby paint can lying on the floor and lifts it high slamming it down on Tempestad’s face. Tempestad reels for a second before falling to the ground and Seph smiles down at him. The crowd goes nuts as Seph lifts his foe to his feet and irish whips him right out of the room and into the open hallway. Tempestad finally trips over a rise in the cement skidding to the ground in a hard crash.

Kelly Knite: Tempestad is taking an early beating I think.

Eric hardy: It’s too soon to count the plucky little Mexican warrior out yet. He has the heart of a champion.

Kelly Knite: I think Sephiroth does too. Where do you think he keeps it?

Seph walks toward Tempestad, stalking him as he tries to get up. Tempestad gets almost up before Seph delivers a swift punt kick to Tempestad’s face. The Mexican falls backward and Seph lifts him up once more. He goes to slam tempestad’s face into the wall but Tempestad blocks. Seph tries again but again is blocked. Seph tries it a third time but once more is blocked and reversed. Tempestad Russian leg sweeps Seph to the ground in a sudden burst of speed. Seph rolls trying to get to his feet but Tempestad gets up first. Tempestad charges delivering a fierce shining wizard to the face of Du Lac. Du Lac falls to the ground and Tempestad falls to his knees on the landing popping up quickly. He moves next to Seph’s body and flips performing a standing shooting star press on the prone Du Lac. Tempestad covers… 1… 2… and Du Lac kicks out.

Kelly Knite: Your not going to take out a man like Du Lac with a move like that.

Eric Hardy: I agree. If Tempestad has any hope in this match he’s got to wear Seph down first.

Tempestad gets up grasping Du Lac by the hair and pulling him to his feet. He pulls Seph by the hair and snapmares him before driving a hard dropkick into Du lac’s spine. Seph cries out and falls to the side as Tempestad rises. Tempestad hops on top of Du Lac delivering a series of vicious mounted punches. The crowd counts along as he punches…1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… Tempestad goes for the tenth and final punch when suddenly Du Lac blocks and monkey rolls his opponent to the floor. Seph holds on rolling with him and lands on Tempestad in a mounted position and begins punching him as well. The crowd counts… 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… he goes to nail the tenth one but Tempestad blocks it then reaches up jamming his thumb into Seph’s right eye. Seph rises clutching at his eye and Tempestad begins to rise.

Eric Hardy: Desperation maneuver by Tempestad.

Kelly Knite: I’d get desperate too if I were in that position. I can’t imagine what is going through Tempestad’s head right now facing Du Lac in a place like that.

Tempestad charges and Seph quickly manages to see him through the haze. Du Lac ducks out of the way just in time as Tempestad slams himself head first into the wall and lands hard on the floor from the impact. Seph moves to him and begins to choke Tempestad blatantly with his bare hands. Tempestad kicks and grasps at Du Lac as Seph sadistically smiles, trying to choke the life out of the smaller Tempestad.

Eric Hardy: Uh oh, Tempestad in a bad way.

Kelly Knite: Do it, Du Lac! Choke the s*** out of him!

Eric Hardy: Can we have some objectiveness please?

Kelly Knite: What? I don’t care who wins but I love this.

Tempestad finally gets a knee up high enough to hit Du Lac. Du Lac releases and then goes right back to it but Tempestad is ready and grabs his hand then arches his back. He inches himself to his feet. Seph stands still locked hand to hand with Tempestad and it’s a battle of strength and will as both men begin struggling. Seph finally brings a swift kick to Tempestad’s stomach and Tempestad doubles over. Seph then grabs the young man and charges before releasing him causing Tempestad to crash into the nearby stairwell. The top of the stairs is blocked off by a cage wall but the first flight of stairs is still admissible. Tempestad lands hard on the first three steps but rolls out of the way just in time as Du Lac charges a hard kick toward his skull. Seph kicks off the step just as Tempestad goes to sweep Seph’s leg. Seph falls to the ground and Tempestad immediately leaps up to the stair’s railing and flibs into a corkscrew moonsault on to the vampire. Tempestad goes for another cover. 1… 2… and almost three. Seph barely gets the shoulder up. Tempestad pounds the ground in frustration rising to his feet. Tempestad then runs up the steps all the way to the cage wall as Seph slowly tries to get to his feet. The crowd cheers as Tempestad climbs the cage mesh moving like a mountain climber to the top of it. Seph barely gets up to his feet and has time to look around before Tempestad leaps off the cage onto the railing then off the railing into a moonsault on Du Lac. Du Lac looks baffled and injured from the high leap attempt and the crowd proceeds to start chanting “Holy s***!, Holy s***!”

Eric Hardy: Did you see that?! He almost killed Du Lac and himself!

Kelly Knite: That was incredible. I’m speechless!

Eric Hardy: That was incredible. A springing moonsault off the stair’s railing onto Du Lac! What a move!

Tempestad slowly gets to his feet and begins to walk toward the shadowed outcropping of the stairwell. He grabs a nearby folded wheelchair and proceeds to try and set it up. As he is busy doing that to everyone’s surprise Du Lac just sits up as if rising from the grave itself. The crowd roars in reaction.

Eric hardy: Uh-oh! Behind you, Tempestad!

Kelly Knite: It’s like a monster movie!

Seph just smiles as Tempestad busies himself with setting up the wheelchair. When he finally finishes he goes to turn but Du Lac grabs him and slams him with a german suplex. Seph holds on and rolls lifting them both up and nails another still clutching he lifts himself and a now limp Tempestad up and nails a final one releasing Tempestad as he crashes the back of his head to the floor. Tempestad lays motionless on the ground as Du Lac picks him up, limp and bruised. Seph just holds up the now limp Tempestad into the wheelchair and sets him in it. Tempestad looks dazed if conscious at all.

Eric Hardy: Tempestad in a world of his own and you know Du lac has some bad intentions.

Kelly Knite: When doesn’t he?

He pushes Tempestad out into the hallway and repositions the chair to face the stairs again. He stands in front of Tempestad mocking him and slapping his face as if trying to wake him. Tempestad takes a feeble swing at Du lac but misses. Seph just smirks and moves behind him grabbing hold of the handles and begins to run.

Eric Hardy: No, no, no, Don’t do it!

He lets go right before he reaches the stairwell and Tempestad slams into the stairs launching into the cold concrete steps hard before rolling back down. Seph just smirks and stands over the crashed scene.

Eric Hardy: My God! My God! Did you see that?!

Kelly Knite: Oooo… that has got to hurt.

Seph lifts Tempestad up to his feet. He proceeds to walk him up the staircase to the top of it. Tempestad is dazed. It looks like he might not be aware of his surroundings. Seph just smiles and sets Tempestad on the railing at the top. He then steps back and goes to charge. Tempestad suddenly comes alive again and moves just as Seph goes to spear him off. Du Lac stops short of falling off and turns just when Tempestad grabs him and slams him head first into the cage mesh. Seph reels as if about to fall and Tempestad Lionsaults himself off the cage causing both men to roll down the stairs all the way to the bottom.

Eric Hardy: These two men are risking their lives for the sake of this match.

Kelly Knite: We knew it was dangerous, we knew this match was going to be a fight, but nobody… myself included figured this would turn into something like this. These two men are literally trying to kill each other and themselves. This is insane.

Eric Hardy: And they are in the right place for that I assure you.

Kelly Knite: Gee how long have you been waiting to say that?

Eric Hardy: I was waiting for the set up.

Both men rising to their feet simultaneously and the two begin to trade punches. Fatigue slowly setting in as they both exchange blow after blow. Tempestad goes for a lunge and grabs Seph in a snap suplex set up. Seph wraps a leg about Tempestad denying him the suplex. Tempestad tries again and again Seph locks the leg. Tempestad loosens to try again only this time Seph reverses sending Tempestad crashing into the hallway. Seph favors his ribs as Tempestad slowly tries to limp to his feet. Seph charges pushing through the pain and whips Tempestad down the hallway almost to the double doors at the end. Tempestad hit’s the wall heavily slamming into the corner. Du Lac approaches slowly still favoring the ribs as Tempestad goes to step out. Seph goes for the Crimson mist but Tempestad ducks and rolls. He rolling wheel kicks Seph in the back of the head causing the vampire to land face first into the corner. Tempestad limps forward and grabs Seph by the back of his head slamming him face first into the corner. Seph grabs his nose from the impact and reels back as Tempestad steps in front of the doors. Seph lets go revealing a bloodied nose and suddenly charges forward with new life spearing Tempestad through the double doors into the caged hallway of the observation area. Seph goes on the attack delivering a clobbering fury of punches to Tempestad’s face before slamming Tempestad’s head into the concrete floor. Tempestad rolls in pain as Seph stands and looks over at the old observation window.

Kelly Knite: Seph’s busted open and I think Tempestad maybe in trouble now.

Eric Hardy: What’s Seph looking at?

Seph reaches against the wall and begins to tug and tear at something. Finally it breaks loose revealing an old rusty nail. Seph smiles and puts it between his index and his middle finger in his fist. He lifts Tempestad to a sitting position and begins to dig that nail into Tempestad’s head. Tempestad screams and the crowd goes into a mix of cheers, jeers and most of all shocked tones of surprise.

Eric Hardy: Oh god! Seph’s digging right through Tempestad’s mask. He’s taking that rusty nail and he’s just digging it in.

Seph just smiles evilly as Tempestad screams. Red starts covering the mask and a tiny hole forms with blood trickling out under the nail as Seph twists and digs.

Eric Hardy: He’s done it! Tempestad’s open! Tempestad’s wide open and bleeding! My God! My God! This is just sick!

Seph pulls the nail away and tosses it aside as he lifts Tempestad up to his feet. He goes to slam Tempestad’s head into the observation window but Tempestad blocks the attempt. Tempestad instead grabs Du Lac and reverses slamming Seph’s head into the wooden bar of the observation wall. He then grabs Seph’s legs and pulls sending Du Lac into the ground. He sets Seph up and falls back sending Seph catapulting face first into the steel mesh of the caged auditorium. Seph hangs there on one knee as Tempestad closes in. Tempestad goes to grab Seph but Seph grabs him and drops sending Tempestad head first into the unforgiving steel. Seph rises as Tempestad pushes himself off the cage. Seph begins to batter Tempestad with right hands driving him to the end of the caged hall. He goes for a final clothesline as they approach the end of the hall but Tempestad sees it coming. He ducks out of the way and goes for a kick to Seph’s midsection. Seph grabs his foot only to be hit with the enzuigiri kick to the face. Seph reels from the blow and smacks his head once more into the observation bar. Tempestad begins to rise as Seph barely pulls up to his feet. Tempestad steps back a bit as Seph gets his bearings. Tempestad charges and delivers a hard dropkick to the face of Seph sending him through the door that leads to the chapel area of the asylum.

Eric Hardy: Seph’s stumbled into the chapel.

Kelly Knite: Hmmm… funny. I thought he’d blow up or something when they went in there.

Tempestad goes to the offensive and begins pummeling Seph with right hands and chops all the way to the altar. He goes for one last charge but Seph grabs the bible off the altar and slams it upside Tempestad’s face. Pages from the good book go flying as Tempestad reels. Seph grabs him and slams him head first into the altar. Du Lac hops up on the altar and pulls Tempestad up to the top as well. Seph grabs him setting him up for the Fallen Angel DDT…

Eric Hardy: Oh no!

Kelly Knite: Here it comes!

Seph sets up and goes to lift but Tempestad pushes off at the last second. He nails Seph in the stomach causing him to double over and he leaps onto a sitting position on Seph’s back. Tempestad screams in triumph as he drives Seph in a leg trip sunset flip powerbomb. Tempestad goes for the pin. 1… 2… 3… Tempestad releases Seph who collapses on the altar. The crowd roars with cheers and applause as the bell rings in the arena.

Amber Ashe: Here is your winner… TEMPESTAD!

Eric Hardy: He did it! He did it! Against all odds, Tempestad has won!

Kelly Knite: He beat him! He beat Seph! I don’t believe it! Tempestad stops and crosses himself in a catholic blessing before turning and blessing the lying body of Sephiroth. Seph lays unmoving on the altar as Tempestad walks away in victory.

Eric Hardy: Tempestad, the warrior! The savior of the NCW! The masked messiah, has faced the monster in his lair and lived to tell the tale!

Kelly Knite: A battle worthy for the ages!

Eric Hardy: Congratulations, Tempestad! The monster slayer!

nCw Honor Championship
Three Way Match
Atreyu* vs. Ricky Johnson vs. Nelly Angel

Honor” by Atreyu begins to play, the drum beat echoing through the arena.

“HEY!”

The vocals echo throughout as the strobe lights flash wildly. Then nCw Superstar Atreyu steps out onto the entrance ramps walking almost in time with the drumbeat. The song continues as he slowly walks to the ramp but then when the chorus hits he sprints to the ring.

“Like a whisper to the dusk

in hope against the shadows

denying the dark

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Till the break of dawn!”

Atreyu dives through the middle ropes and rolls to his knees arms outstretched. The crowd is eager for the match to begin to see this incredible athlete in action. Atreyu turns towards the entrance/his opponent to prepare for the match.

Eric Hardy: “There is the Honor Champ, Atreyu.”

Kelly Knite: “Listen to those fans, they love some Atreyu.”

Eric Hardy: “Now listen to that, here comes Ricky Johnson!”

"It's all over" plays on the PA system. A golden throne arises from the side of the ramp, encased by fire similar to the gangrel entrance. Ricky is seated, Roxi by his side. Ricky and Roxi step over the fire as it goes out, and head down the aisle. Making it a point not to let fans touch him. They boo him. Roxi hits the ring first and enters between the middle and bottom rope, while Ricky slides in.

Eric Hardy: “Ricky Johnson walks in with such a confidence to him, must be Roxi.”

Kelly Knite: “Imagine how Adam feels when I’m with him.”

Eric Hardy: “Lame.”

Kelly Knite: “And here is our final challenger, Nelly Angel.”

*"Rip it up" by Jet rocks the arena as Nelly Angel comes running out of the back at full speed as he darts down the ring, slides in, and jumps up. He then climbs up a turnbuckle and then jumps off backwards, super pumped for his match

Eric Hardy: “This is sizing up to be one helluva three-way dance.”

Kelly Knite: “Dance? This isn’t Step Up?”

The three men take a separate corners, the ref gives them all the pre-match check. Once everything is clear he calls for the bell. Johnson comes out of his corner quickly, as does Nelly. Both men immediately go for Atreyu. Johnson hit’s a quick kick to the stomach of Atreyu as Nelly clubs the back of the champion. Johnson and Nelly stare at each other before each grabbing a wrist of Atreyu, and then Irish whip him into the opposite corner. Johnson quickly takes advantage, also whipping Nelly into the corner.

Eric Hardy: “A bit of team work…”

Kelly Knite: “But it doesn’t last long as we see Johnson using Nelly as a weapon.”

But Atreyu is ready, quickly leaping to the top of the turnbuckle he leaps and twists his body planting Nelly Angel with a whisper in the wind. Atreyu quickly returns to his feet staring down Ricky Johnson who starts laughing. Atreyu quickly charges at Johnson, catching him with a leaping punch, putting Johnson down. But men quickly get to their feet and lock up. Johnson gets the advantage by being crafty.

Kelly Knite: “What a huge Whisper in the Dusk by Atreyu…”

Johnson lifts Atreyu up quickly, hitting a suplex, but keeps it in tact, and quickly returns himself, as well as his opponent to their feet, hitting a second suplex. Johnson manages to keep hold of Atreyu and both men are on their feet as Johnson lifts the champion up once more, and adjusts in midair to hit a brain buster. Laying the Honor champion completely out. Johnson looks to capitalize on his aggression by covering, and hooking Atreyu’s leg for the pin. The ref slides into position.

1..

2..

Eric Hardy: “A quick pin attempt by Johnson!”

Kelly Knite: “You’re going to have to do more than that to take out the Honor Champion.”

But Nelly Angel is there to make the save, putting a foot to the back of Johnson. Quickly Nelly grabs a hand full of Johnson’s hair and pulls Ricky to his feet. Angel throws a stiff right, and pushes Johnson into the corner before stepping back for a moment. Charging forward Nelly Angel hits a huge impact with a shining wizard into the corner. Johnson staggers out as Nelly looks smug about his work. Quickly grabbing Johnson, Nelly Angel angles his back and hit’s a snap belly-to-belly suplex. Putting Johnson on his back in agony.

Nelly looks to capitalize on his own offense, as he turns to approach Johnson’s prone body. Once he turns around, he is caught by a spring boarding Atreyu, who latches onto Nelly and nails a tornado DDT. Nelly is planted face first into the mat, as Atreyu quickly gets to his feet listening to the crowd go crazy at the momentum shift. Atreyu quickly lifts Nelly Angel to his feet, clutching him. Nelly has enough sense to push the champion away. But Atreyu swings a high kick, which Angel scouts quick enough to catch. But the follow up by the Honor Champion connects hard against Nelly’s head, turning him inside out.

Atreyu looks to end it quickly, as he slides across Nelly for the cover. The ref takes his position checking the shoulders, and starts the count.

1..

2..

Johnson is up and quickly drops an elbow onto both men, breaking the count up. Using the element of surprise that had gained him the advantage, Johnson quickly pulls Atreyu up, smashing his elbow into his face. Atreyu staggers back into the ropes, Johnson looking to retain momentum charges at Atreyu looking to clothesline him. But the champion scouts, ducking and pulling on the ropes. Johnson goes staggering over the ropes and crashes onto the floor below.

Eric Hardy: “Another close pin attempt, broken up by Ricky Johnson this time.”

Kelly Knite: “This match just picked up a bit…”

Nelly Angel had returned to his feet, clutching his head a bit. Atreyu turns and catches Angel with a right, and a left before grabbing him by the back of the head and tossing him over the tope rope. Johnson had managed to stand up, but breaks Angel’s fall as both men crash into the barricade as Atreyu is standing in the center of the ring. Once both of his opponents are standing Atreyu charges forward looking for a suicide dive. But uses a faux-suicide dive, twisting his body staying in the ring. Seeing both of his opponents had flinched, Atreyu quickly runs to the ropes, leaping and spring boarding off hitting a shooting-star press onto the standing Angel and Johnson.

NCW Crowd: ATREYU! ATREYU! ATREYU!

All three men are on the ground, but the champion starts to pull himself up first, a bit dazed but had taken the least damage from the leap. Atreyu staggers back into the apron and slowly slides into the ring. Johnson is the second man up, using the barricade to lift himself up. The fans take the time to touch him, which doesn’t go over well with him as he hisses at the fans and bucks, he looks down at Nelly Angel, then at the Champ who is standing in the ring.

Kelly Knite: “Atreyu is showing everyone why he is the champion!”

Johnson throws Nelly into the ring, and quickly gets up the steps, keeping his eyes on Atreyu. Johnson quickly steps into the ring as Atreyu and himself had a small show down. Johnson pushes Atreyu, who shoves him back. Both men go to swing, but turn to see Nelly Angel launching himself off the top turnbuckle catching both men with a drop kick. Nelly quickly returns to his feet lifting up Johnson, throwing him in-between the top and second turnbuckle shoulder first as Ricky crashes against the ring post.

Nelly Angel turns around to see the Honor Champ standing, but is quickly put back down with Angel leaping into the air and nailing a hurricanrana. Angel returns to his feet on a roll, as Johnson pulls himself out of the turnbuckle only to be met with a spine buster from Angel. Nelly stands in the middle of the ring, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd. Atreyu pulls himself up, Nelly looks to capitalize on his streak, striking the champ with a European uppercut. Atreyu staggers back into the corner. Nelly runs to the ropes looking for a springboard drop kick, but Atreyu adjust and counters with an STO using gravity as a momentum buster slamming Angel hard onto his back.

Atreyu goes for the cover, the ref slides down for the count.

1...

2...

Kelly Knite: “Did you see how Atreyu caught Nelly with the STO in midair!”

Eric Hardy: “This could be it!”

Johnson quickly breaks it up with a baseball slide drop kick, pushing Atreyu aside. Johnson picks Angel up, pushing him into the corner before throwing a hard right before stepping back and spearing him into the corner. Nelly grabs his stomach in pain, and Johnson fires another hard right. Pulling Angel out of the corner, Johnson quickly ducks behind him hitting a German suplex, but he latches his arms on tight, pulling Angel up once more, hitting second German suplex. Johnson lifts up once more, aiming to hit a third, and hit’s a release German suplex putting Nelly on his back/neck.

Johnson pulls himself to his feet, looking to end the match by pinning Nelly, but as soon as he gets to his feet he’s caught with a huge super kick that makes a cracking noise throughout the arena. Atreyu connects with his Bleeding Massacre, super kick. Johnson quickly crumbles to the ground. Atreyu eyes Nelly, as he hits another signature move, a standing moon sault . Quickly Atreyu hooks the leg of Nelly Angel, and the ref goes for the pin.

1..

2..

Nelly manages to get his foot on the rope, thus using his first and only rope break of the match. Atreyu gets to his knees, looking at Johnson, Atreyu returns to his feet picking his opponent up. Johnson staggers a bit, still dazed from the super kick. Atreyu quickly lifts Johnson up in a firemen’s carry position. Throwing him forward, he looks for IMPACT. As he drops Johnson, Johnson catches the knee quickly before he can be hit with the IMPACT. Johnson pushes Atreyu backwards, and stands his ground, both men look to their left to see Nelly Angel picking himself up.

Eric Hardy: “After all the near falls, this is turning into a showdown…”

The entire arena begins to boo as Kristoff Liam Bates and his trusty barbed wire wrapped brief case begin to make their way down to the ring. Atreyu and Ricky Johnson both turn their attention toward Bates as Nelly Angel slowly gets back to his feet.

Kelly Knite: What the hell does he want, didnt he quit earlier this week or something?

Eric Hardy: I'm not sure Kelly, but he doesn't look happy.

Bates gets to the ring and lifts his brief case up and smiles, pointing at Atreyu who leans over the ropes and begins screaming at him. The ref jumps out of the ring and begins to yell at Bates to get the hell out of here but all of this is revealed to be a gigantic distraction as LORD DOMINICUS jumps the ring barrier, wearing his mask with a t-shirt and jeans. Dominicus grabs a steel chair and slides into the ring. Nelly Angel is up and turns right into the CHAIR SHOT!

Kelly Knite: What is this, return of the giant losers night?

Eric Hardy: Whatever it is, Dominicus just cost Nelly his chances of winning this match.

Dominicus tosses the chair and picks Nelly up for the DOMINICUS DRIVER!

Eric Hardy: Damn him, damn Rob Diamond and that stupid mask.

Dominicus rolls out of the ring, Atreyu is still completely focused on Bates who is backing up the ramp as Ricky Johnson comes off the top rope with the BURN OUT PHOENIX SPLASH! The ref slides back in the ring, having not seen Dominicus' attack, just in time to make the count. ONE!... Atreyu turns... TWO!... Atreyu leaps.... THREE!!!! HE'S TOO LATE!!!!

Amber Ashe: Your winner and new nCw Honor Champion.... RICKY JOHNSON!!!!!

Atreyu is fuming as he stares daggers at Dominicus and Bates as they back up the ramp.

Eric Hardy: I can't believe it, not only did Dominicus jump Nelly, but him and Bates also just cost both Atreyu and Nelly this match.

Kelly Knite: Seems just like the douche bag thing they'd do.

Eric Hardy: Well we have a new champion and apparently a new "team" on the nCw roster, but I can't imagine anyone is going to be very happy about this.

Ricky celebrates his win regardless of how it happened by holding the belt high over his head.

SEGMENT
SEVERE PAYNE
New Guy

*Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hits the speakers as the lights go out and four pyro blasts go off in sync with the beat of the song.......POW! POW! POW! POW!.....The song kicks into the full intro and the lights come on, revealing a man in jeans, black boots, a white shirt, and a black leather jacket. Severe Payne, smiling to make his initial debut, walks down the aisle making contact with his newly formed fans. He is handed a microphone as he jogs up the stairs and climbs into the ring.. POW! POW! Two more pyro blasts go off as he raises his fists, standing to pose in center ring. Thousands of flashes go off from cameras of those wanting to capture a milestone moment....Soon, the music fades, not soon followed by the roaring fans who take what seems like forever to quiet down.......he speaks slowly between crowd roars.

SP: Thank you....thank you...it's good to be here in the NCW!!!!! As you may have heard, my name is Severe Payne. I have been a wrestler my whole life. From the age of 17, I have wrestled and managed in six different wrestling organizations, conquered six organizations, broke a hundred bones, been told never to wrestle again twice, retired three times, and won countless championships........but I'm not here to give you my resume.......What I'm here to do, is let you know that even though I've done more in a ring than most people dream of, I haven't hit my peak YET! ......and in the NCW, I plan on accomplishing my life's greatest work. I plan on getting my hands very....very.....DIRTY!! So......instead of going on and on about vague bragging rights, let me just get down to it... Two individuals that have already become a "payne" in my ass, just to watch,...........are Daniel Miles, and Lord Dominicus. Miles reminds me of every snub nose young wrestling school graduate who thinks he's gifted just because he can throw a hip toss..So don't take me wrong, Daniel Miles, I am just speaking my mind which I was asked to do. Then, there's Dominicus......for God's sake, what happened to real heart and talent? I know this federation has so much of it, but these two men, ESPECIALLY DOMINICUS, is the runt of the litter......So I'll tell you what, Dominicus, I don't wanna make this PPV about me, but I am officially issuing you a challenge, my debut match.....I want to get in deep fast, and these fans of NCW are gonna be reminded what real heart and glory is ALL ABOUT!!!!

He stands silent in the ring waiting for a response, but doesn't get one as the fans become irritated.

SP: Fine, have it your way, you don't want to come to me, then I'll have to come to you...

They cheer as Severe Payne jumps out of the ring and heads to the back.

Eric Hardy: Well ladies and gentlemen, Crossroads has been one hell of a night thus far but now folks….it’s where it gets messy.

Kelly Knite: The crew is already working to modify the ring for this match. They’ve already replaced the ropes with barbed wire, there are planks with barbed wire attached to them laying in the ring and tables, ladders, and chairs line the barricade outside the ring. And that’s just the visible surprises.

Eric Hardy: This match is going to shave years off both of these competitors lives and it’s all because of Hardcore Harry and his demented fantasies.

Kelly Knite: Steve Awesome has shut himself away from the world so he can better prepare himself for this match.

Eric Hardy: How can you prepare yourself for a death match?

Kelly Knite: Bring a lot of band aids?

Eric Hardy: Laugh all you want Kelly…..but this isn’t going to end well.

Kelly Knite: I know Eric. I’m just as worried as you are.

Death Match
Grudge match
Steve Awesome vs. Hardcore Harry

{Lunatic Fringe starts playing. Silence is heard around the arena as anticipation begins to build. As soon as the song kicks in, Hardcore Harry doesn't wait. He comes out walking slowly, the heat from the crowd is deafening. But harry shrugs it off, by flipping the bird to some seniors and telling a toddler to grow up and get a pair. He walks in stride to the ring, enters and allows the hate to soak deep into his skin. He smiles then goes through the ropes. Climbs up top and continues his antics of passing the fans off as morons. He retreats to the corner and waits.}

Kelly Knite: And there is that sick demented bastard now.

Eric Hardy: Some of the new nCw fans might not know who Hardcore Harry is….but I promise you……after this match you will never forget him.

Kelly Knite: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Eric Hardy: That’s what I’m afraid of.

The lights in the arena fade to black and the sold out crowd begin buzzing with excitement. They know who is coming, they know what’s up. The sold out crowd begin chanting his name.

*AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!* Suddenly the epic horns of “Encore” by Jay-Z hit’s the speakers.

“Thank you, thank you you’re far too kind.”

The music picks up beat and a lone spotlight shines down on the stage. The crowd work themselves into a frenzy as The Face of the Franchise steps out onto the stage, gazing out at he sold out crowd chanting his name.

Now can I get an encore, do you want more Cookin raw with the D-Town boy So for one last time I need y'all to roar

Now what the hell are you waitin for After me, there shall be no mor-”

The music instantly cuts out as Hardcore Harry rushes up the ramp and clocks Steve in the head before he can even make it to the ring. Awesome staggers back from the blow and then dives out of the way before a big boot can connect with his head. Harry turns around and Awesome starts drilling forearms into the head of Harry. Harry takes the shots and sends his own back. The two battle each other until Steve manages to get the upper hand and then he bounces Harry’s head off the steel barricade. Awesome does it two more times for good measure before he starts heading the rest of the way down the ring, punching Harry in the ribs as he does so. Awesome points toward the ring like he’s about to put Harry in the ring but Harry uses his strength to avoid it and instead puts a huge knee into Steve’s gut. Steve coughs from the blow and Harry hoists him in the air like he was going to throw Steve into the barbed wire ropes, but Steve wiggles free and gets lose. He lands on his feet behind Harry and then hits him with a dropkick to the spine. Harry stumbles forward and bounces his head off the apron.”

Eric Hardy: Hardcore Harry tries to throw Steve into that barbed wire.

Kelly Knite: Those barbs are razor sharp…it would have ripped his flesh to pieces.

Awesome flips the apron up and begins digging for a weapon. Out comes a trash can filled with fluorescent light tubes. Awesome pulls one out and looks at it as if it were the Ex Calibur and he takes a swing but Harry manages to duck and the tube shatters on impact as it hit’s the ring post. Awesome seems a bit surprised that Harry ducked but that’s when Harry grabs him and bounces his head off the post. Harry instantly grabs another light tube and he swings and the thing shatters on impact right on Steve’s forehead. The crowd OOHS! As small bits of glass and dust float through the air and Steve drops to one knee. Harry gets a running start and he sandwiches Steve between his knee and the steel steps. The impact knocks the steps loose and the top half falls off. Harry walks over to grab it as Steve tries to get his bearings back. Harry hoists the steel over his head with the intent to drop it on Steve’s body but Awesome nails a kick to the stomach of Harry. He hunches over and drops the steps behind him. Awesome climbs back to his feet, and he grabs a chair from nearby. He takes a swing and hits Harry in the knee, knocking him to the ground. Harry holds his knee in pain and Awesome cracks him again with the chair across the chest. Harry yells in pain and Awesome gives him one more shot for good measure. He then throws the chair away and starts setting up a table right there on the outside.

Eric Hardy: Man, Steve wasn’t lying when he said he was going to take it to Harry here tonight.

Kelly Knite: It’s a good thing. I can’t wait to see Harry go through that table.

Steve reaches down and grabs the dazed Harry and lays him down on the table. He then reaches underneath the barbed wire ropes and pulls out one of the planks with barbed wire nailed onto it and he places it on top of Harry so that the barbed wire side is facing down on top of him. Steve picks up the steel chair again and he lifts up and brings the chair down hard sandwiching Harry between the table and the razor wire. Awesome gets another idea now, he crawls into the ring and starts climbing the top rope.”

Eric Hardy: This is going to get sick.

Kelly Knite: I cant watch.

But Harry manages to move before Steve could take the leap. The barbed wire was still attached to his skin though and he had to pull it so that it would fall off him. Harry gets in the ring and Steve meets him with boots. Harry somehow seems to ignore the boots and battles back, eventually making it to his feet. He’s had enough of Steve and he tosses him into the barbed wire ropes! The sharp barbed instantly enter Steve’s skin and he screams as he has to tear his skin just to get free. But he doesn’t get far as Harry comes running up with a knee. Awesome gets his forehead sliced open as Harry rubs it against the barbed wire. Then Harry whips him to the turnbuckle, Awesome hits hard, nearly flipping up and over to the outside. Harry grabs one of the barbed wire boards, picks it up, points the wire at Steve and runs, hitting a huge body splash! The crowd oohs as Awesome just stays slumped in the corner, the barbed wire board connected to his body. Harry gets another running start, this time he runs as fast as he can and leaps into the board the whole ring shakes with the impact and Steve falls face down to the mat, face first into the barbed wire board. There are cuts all over his body and blood is flowing from his forehead. Harry gives Steve a few stomps for good measure and then goes outside for more goodies.

Eric Hardy: Ugh….Awesome already a bloodied mess and were just beginning.

Kelly Knite: I wonder what else is under the ring.

Kelly is soon going to find out as Harry starts tossing whatever he finds into the ring.

Eric Hardy: Looks like a screw driver. A staple gun. Is that? Is that a barbed wire bat?

Kelly Knite: You know it’s a classic.

Harry grabs more stuff. A red sack and a brown sack get thrown in the ring, contents unknown. A fork for eating, a bottle of Sexy Jason’s “Slim and Sexy” a book of matches and some lighter fluid. He slides a couple more tables into the ring a ladder and the rest of the chairs. More and more random objects get tossed in the ring and Harry salivates at the idea of using all of them on Steve who is just now starting to peel himself off the barbed wire. Harry slides into the ring and grabs the stable gun. He hits Steve with a few head butts for good measure then puts the staples into his forehead. Awesome tries to fight back but Harry punches him in the ribs and then staples him again.

Kelly Knite: Come on Harry! Steve doesn’t need staples in his head.

Eric Hardy: I don’t know that cut looks pretty big.

Harry takes the whole gun and just cracks Steve in the head with it and Steve drops down to one knee. Harry grabs a steel chair and swings, cracking Steve with a shot so hard that the sound echoes in the arena. Awesome falls down like a sack of bricks as Harry gets to work setting up some tables. Harry then grabs the lighter fluid and starts soaking some of the tables with it and just for the hell of it…he starts soaking Steve with the lighter fluid as well.

Eric hardy: Oh my…no…..He’s going to try and set Steve on fire?

Kelly Knite: That can’t be real lighter fluid. Even Harry isn’t that insane.

Harry grabs the matches, sparks one up and drops it on the table. The top erupts in flames.

Kelly Knite: …….

Eric Hardy: This isn’t going to be good.

Harry sparks another match and laughs sadistically as he hovers it over Steve’s body. The crowd boo him but nothing is going to stop him…except a well placed boot to the stomach from Steve Awesome. Awesome grabs the screwdriver and stabs it into the forehead of Harry a couple times. This cuts Harry open, Awesome pulls the weapon back again and suddenly Harry begins to plead for mercy.

Kelly Knite: Ha! Look at that….Harry is wussing out.

Eric Hardy: Weird thing is….Steve is actually considering it.

IN the ring you can see Steve mouth…”Harold?” and his opponent nods his head but then punches Steve in the gonads. Harry laughs to himself and yells “Sucker” and sets Steve up for a power bomb. He walks over to the flaming table and looks like he’s going to power bomb him through but Steve starts fighting back. He starts hammering punches into Harry’s face. Harry staggers a bit, stumbling into the turnbuckle. Awesome gets off Harry and climbs onto the top rope. Steve kicks Harry in the back of the head wich just makes Harry turn around. He starts throwing punches at Steve and Steve sends them back as Harry starts climbing up one turnbuckle at a time to get the advantage. Awesome manages to get the advantage though and hit’s a front suplex sending Harry chest first through the flaming table.

Eric Hardy: OH MY GAWD! Harry just went through the flaming table.

Kelly Knite: And somehow…I don’t think there done.

Harry seizes on the mat, as flames are starting to cover his body. Stop drop and roll isn't working, as referees come in and put the fire out. Steve shoves all the referees out of the way and begins pounding away at the cut of hardcore harry. "BLEED MORE" steve is yelling in harry's face. All the while, harry is digging in his trunks. He pulls out a pair of shiny brass knuckles. Steve notices and as soon as harry slips them on. He goes for the knockout punch, only to have steve move out of the way. He gets up to his feet, kicks the hand of harry and they go flying outside the ring. Harry still hurting from being burnt, crawls on his hands and knuckles. Only to have steve pull at him. He places his hands on the barbwire ropes to stop steve. Slices his fingers and palm up but steve gets him off it. He takes the rope with him. Harry kicks him in the face. Steve is sent backing away, as harry takes the barbwire and wraps it around his boot. Steve sits up on the mat and harry comes dashing in with the barbwire boot. He connects with his jaw and begins stomping away at the chest. Tearing... Slicing.... Cutting up the body of steve awesome. "DIE....DIE....DIE....." Harry is screaming at the top of his lungs.

Eric Hardy: Now... do we consider this him snapping or the whole harold campbell split personality thing snapping?

Kelly Knite: He's insane. That's all we need to know... steve is not looking good here.

Harry turns around and punches the referee in the face for no reason. Steve holds his chest, it's a bloody mess. He stands up, as harry turns around he drops him neck first on the top rope. Harry bounces off and hits the mat, rolling around holding it. As he rolls around, he picks up off the barbwire around his boot. Then he ends up yanking another piece of the bottom rope off. Harry lies there, as he ties both strands to his boot. He heads up to a very unstable top rope, as harry is in view steve jumps off the top rope. WRATH OF THE BARBWIRE DRAGON!!!! Landing safely on the chest of hardcore harry. Ripping what is left of his shirt, he tries to get off but the barbwire is sticking in his skin. Steve has to literally rip his way off harry. He walks over to the corner, opens the red bag and is took back at what he sees. What seems to be about 30 feet of CrackerJack Firecrackers. He lays them on the mat, picks up harry and sends a knee into his chest. He runs off the ropes and hits a bulldog into the mat, landing harry on top of the firecrackers. He sees nothing wrong with wrapping him up. Completely unable to escape, he looks down at harry. As he pulls the matches out, harry shakes off the effects of the bulldog. Sees as steve is careful not to set himself on fire with the match. Then lights the firecrackers.... Harry snaps... pops... crackles... just one loud ass sequence as harry takes over 2000 firecrackers. As the last one pops, he jumps on top for a pinfall. 1...2... and a kickout.

Eric Hardy: Steve makes harry explode in his pants.... yet he still kicks out.

Kelly Knite: Insane is insane. That's all I have to say.

Steve is concerned. Neither flame, explosion, or blood will slow harry down. Yet he is not moving. Steve pushes him under the ropes, then stands him up. Harry sits on the apron, he pulls his arms up and wraps them up in barbwire. He looks under the ring, pulls out a bucket of something. Not really sure but it's a thick liquid. He goes under again and finds another bag. This is making alot of noise, as he opens it. He drops back, shaken by what he just seen. He looks down, his fists are all taped up. The vulnerable harry hangs there with his wrists bleeding. He looks over to the bucket, as two and two are put together. He dips his hands in it. Then the bag is dumped all over the floor. Glass glistens under the bright lights of FedEx forum. Steve rolls his hands around in it, cutting himself but willing to pay the price. He pulls up his dukes and has his hatred take over. Shots to the belly of hardcore harry make him scream out in pain. He takes his fist and rubs it in, twisting and turning. Tearing flesh off harry doesn't have. He walks up the ringsteps and stands next to his face, repeated blows. Harry doesn't even look human anymore. As red looks like his permanent shade. He digs his fist into the burn scar.

Eric Hardy: Oh my.... put the kids to bed early folks. This isn't right.

Kelly Knite: I have the slightest fear that harry may have broken what steve awesome once was.

Harry laughs, as he rips his arm loose.

Eric Hardy: Oh ****... he's loose.

Kelly Knite: You can't say that.

Harry knees him below the belt. Looks to the floor at the nice pile of broken glass. Grabs steve's head and hits a ddt from the apron to the floor. Steve face goes head first into the glass, as referee rush over and check him out. Though ignoring the fact harry just went back first into it himself. They roll him over, pieces of glass are sticking in his face. As they try to do something. Harry again takes out the referees. Takes a piece of plank with barbwire and cracks them in the backs. He picks steve up and whips him face first into the ring pole. He cracks his face into it and is dazed. As he turns around and gets hands wrapped around his neck. Harry lifts him up and drops him over his knee. Steve bridges back in pain but not enough to hurt him. As he shakes it off, he gets back to his feet. Harry is confused but disgusted as he goes in for the kill. Jawbreaker!!! He connects with a superkick which had the barbwire element to it still. Both men flop to the floor. Chants are rising...

AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! HARRY!!!!! AWE-SOME! HARRY!!!! AWE-SOME!

Kelly Knite: They're actually cheering him?

Eric Hardy: Well that fan is...

Harry sees this fan, walks over to him and yanks him over the guardrail. He begins sending shots to his face to shut him up. He goes for the barbwire plank before security rushes in and drags him away. Steve is back up, he whips him into the barricade. Then grabs harry by the head and brings him up the ramp. Slamming him headfirst into the guardrails up the ramp. Harry fights back but steve goes for the eyes. They head into entrance way and backstage.

Eric Hardy: Yeah... we need to get a camera back there right away.

Kelly Knite: Not this again... are they going to fight all night long again.

As time goes on and no camera is being shown. The announcers are getting word about something happening.

Eric Hardy: What is going on?

Kelly Knite: Umm....

As we look at the titantron, shadows can be seen. Then it happens, harry comes crashing through the titantron. He gets all the way through and lands on the steel walkway about with a 15 foot drop. It's raining glass, as it trickles onto the body of hardcore harry. Steve Awesome head peaks through.... he looks down not sure what he did.... he smirks. The fans continue to chant "AWE-SOME!" He cracks a smile only someone truly touched by a sadistic moment could crack. Harry lays there, steve walks away only to come back. Looking down again.... as he stares he finally decided to seal his faith. Launching himself out of the titantron and hitting a splash. He lands alittle to far, cracks his shoulder into the walkway. He grimaces in pain. Rolls around... as harry tries to get up. He staggers to his feet and just falls back down. Steve lays his arm across him. 1...2... and a kickout.

Eric Hardy: We don't have words for this. Someone can read me a line but it still wouldn't be enough.

Kelly Knite: Ditto.

Harry yells and wakes himself alive. He gets up, steve gets up and he attacks. Steve picks him up for the tko, harry bites his arm. Trying to rip flesh off it. He slides off steve, grabs him by the trunks and whips him headfirst into the set. He goes right through, his head is sticking through a part. As harry walks to the back and grabs a green bag. He dumps it out, not sure what to find. He picks up there two mallets, as steve stands there with his head through the set. Harry takes them.... "WHACK-A-STEVE" he begins clanging and banging the back of his head. Drops them... puts his hand under his chin. He smiles as he lifts then he spits right in his face. He puts his boot on the back of his neck and pushes down, causing steve to drift away. He's trying to kill him... but he's not stupid. He lets go.... as he backs away and comes in with a boot. Steve yanks his head out, harry's head goes right through the hole. Steve begins kicking at it, biting it, and then locks in a submission hold. Harry's bad knees are being twisted and the muscles are heard tearing inside his knee. He takes the wooden mallet and cracks steve with it again until he drops the leg. He slides it out, limps out behind the set. Harry is on a mission as he rushes toward him. Steve dazed, he comes stalking in and steve lifts him high just enough. They fly off the stage and into the tables that runs the show. Pyro is going off, random theme music stars playing, and both men get shocked by loose electrical leads. Harry takes one of the laptops laying there and smacks steve in the face with it. Steve takes electrical lead and shoves it into the abandon of harry. He falls over shaking violently.

Eric Hardy: Steve is electrifying the fans tonight.

Kelly Knite: .....

Though he's right, no harry chants but "AWE-SOME" reigns supreme through the crowd. He climbs out of the mess that is the control area. Harry is still shaken but he follows. Steve walks back to the ring, harry staggers and basically crawls back to the ring. Both men drenched in blood sweat. Harry leaves a trail as he crawls. Steve goes under the ring and yanks out a bed of florescent bulbs. Harry pulls himself up, he flips steve around and HomeWrecker through the bulbs. He goes under the ring and pulls out a tiny bag.

Eric Hardy: Great... they're tiny and shiny. Harry is bring tacks in play.

Kelly Knite: Or not?

Harry opens the bag and puts his hand inside. He has a handful of salt in his hand. He begins rubbing it into exposed cuts of steve awesome. Then as he screams and pours it in his mouth. Steve coughs and spits, as he crawls over to the pile of glass. As he turns he takes a pile and throws it into his eyes. He gets up fast... TKO!!!! He pins harry. 1...2...and a kickout.

Steve can't believe it, as he's complaining about this to the referee. Harry gets up, flips steve again and another HomeWrecker. This time he smacks the back of his head on the steel guardrail. Steve folds up, he pulls his leg and jumps ontop. 1...2... and a kickout.

Eric Hardy: Two quick pinfalls and this was close to being over.

Kelly Knite: I just don't understand. You can loose this much blood. Be drained of your life and still fight.

Eric Hardy: Harry doesn't seem to know quit but steve is learning quite nicely.

Harry doesn't know what to do. His entire bag of tricks has been used. He picks steve up but steve fights back. They send shots to each other. Harry gets a left hand in, as steve punches him with a right. Harry floors him with a left and a quick shot below the belt. Steve holds himself, as he notices the brassknuckles from eariler. He doesn't think twice, as he sends the shot right between the eyes of hardcore harry. The tree can be heard falling, as harry is out cold. He drops the knuckles... he knows it's not this easy. He looks around, putting things together in his head. Barbwire... he takes what is left from his boot. He wraps it around harry's head. As he goes under the ring he finds wire cutters. He begins clipping what is left in the ring. As he lifts harry slowly to his feet. He puts him against the ring pole. He wraps him as fast as he can, the giant is sleeping but not dead. He is bounded to the ring pole... no where to run. Steve gets a chair out. He doesn't even think twice... he smacks him in the back of head. What is left of harry's head is sandwiched somewhere between the chair and pole. Yet... he smiles... laughs. "FINISH ME YOU SON OF A BITCH" is yelled at steve awesome. He cracks.... he smacks him again... again.... harry face is nothing more than mush on a stick 15 chair shots later. Steve throws the chair down.... then JAWBREAKER!!!! To the back of harry's head. He is outcold. Steve drops to his knees....

Eric Hardy: When you said earlier, that harry may have broken steve awesome. I think this is proof right here.

Kelly Knite: Should make for an awkward morning.

Steve cuts away at the wires. Harry just falls to the floor. He looks at what he has done. He flips him over and gets on top. 1....2....3....

Eric Hardy: This is finally over. Steve Awesome is the winner but is he really?

Kelly Knite: The fans think so but the look in his eye. He may have lost more than he gained.

Eric Hardy: While harry lays there, the same man as always. Just alittle less of him.

Kelly Knite: I can't believe what I have just witnessed here though... those two tore each other apart, literally.

Eric Hardy: Well this next match should be interesting?

Kelly Knite: Why is that hardy?

Eric Hardy: Because somebody with the same last name as you will be defending a certain title?

Kelly Knite: Yeah.... should be good I guess....

Eric Hardy : You guess?

Kelly Knite: Stop trying to goad me Hardy.

nCw World Women's Championship
Singles match
Zelda Knite* vs. Emma English

{The house lights go down, as Winston Churchill's voice comes over the speaker with the Solemn Hour Speech. The tron erupts to life with scenes from WW2, with flashes of Emma English appearing in the ring from her past matches. The sound of music begins to slowly emerge from the words. The music picks up, and two bright flashes of light streak across the sky, only to hit either side of the stage. As Emma appears with Europa a shower of golden sparkles begins to fall in a curtain around them. Emma looks around at the crowd and bows slightly before they start for the ring. She holds herself with an air of pride and a little arrogance as she walks staring straight ahead. They reach the ring, and Emma walks up the steps wiping her feet, as Europa climbs in the ring. Emma removes the black jacket, and gloves handing them to Europa, along with the riding crop, before reading herself for her opponent.}

{"Take it to the Limit" by Hinder begins to play as the fans cheer and Zelda Knite runs out onto the ramp. The music picks up and she sprints straight for the ring and slides in, in one motion. She hops onto the nearest turnbuckle and plays to the crowd for a bit, holding up the Women's title for all to see. When the music dies down, she jumps down and waits for the match to begin.}

Eric Hardy: Here we go Kelly, who you pulling for.

Kelly Knite: I guess I'm sorta hoping Zelda pulls this out...

Eric Hardy: Wow.... I was not expecting that.

Kelly Knite: I'm not always a jerk, you dope.

{The match is underway as Zelda and Emma reach for each other, Emma shoves Zelda's arms away and Knite steps forward and puts a foot into the Emma's stomach, bending her over by force. Zelda grabs Emma by the head and then quickly pops her over with a snap suplex. Both women turns over and back to their feet, but Zelda is waiting first when Emma stands back to her feet Knite leaps into the air and puts a drop kick right into her face. Emma falls to the mat, and quickly jumps back to her feet. Knite positions herself, does a standing moonsault and lands on Emma's chest for the cover 1.... but Emma puts the shoudler up. Zelda grabs Emma's hair, pulls her to her feet and as soon as she does, she lifts her with a scoop and puts Emma on her shoudler, she quickly throws English down to the mat between her legs and covers from this position 1...2.... but again Emma is able to escape.}

Eric Hardy: So close for Knite....

Kelly Knite: Zelda has come out of the gate strong.... pretty good since she usually starts out flat.

Eric Hardy: Just like your......

Kelly Knite: Say anymore and I stable your tie to the desk.

Eric Hardy: Rightie then...

{Zelda grabs Emma again and pulls her up, this time Zelda takes her by the arm and looks to Irish whip her across the ring, but Emma hits the breaks and levels Knite with a short arm clothesline. Emma steps back as Zelda holds the back of her head, but tries to get back to her feet anyway, she comes up behind Knite grabs her and Tiger Suplex with the bridge 1....2... but Zelda just gets the shoulder up. Emma shoves Knite away and gets back to her feet. She reaches down and pulls Zelda back up by her hair, drags her to the corner and slams her face first against the top turnbuckle. She turns Zelda around and puts her into the corner back first, she raises her arm and crashes it down on her chest. Zelda screams out in pain, Emmas shoves Zelda's arms down and hits another chop, this time when Zelda steps forward, Emma reaches down she snap mares Zelda over and puts a drop kick right into the back of her neck. Zelda falls backwards and Emma hooks both legs 1....2.... but Knite again puts the shoulder up.}

Kelly Knite: But Emma comes right back.... Zelda should be more careful.

Eric Hardy: It's still early, anything can happen from this point.

{Emma backs away and waits as Zelda slowly tries and push herself back to her feet, when Zelda gets back up Emma makes a gesture of being on the phone and hits the LONDON CALLING before Zelda even knows what's going on. Instead of going for the pin, this time Emma grabs Zelda by the arm and drags her back into the middle of the ring. English grabs both of Knite's legs and looks to turn her for a Boston Crab but Zelda manages to get a leg free, puts it into Emma's chin and manages to drive her a way. Zelda Knite quickly turns over and pushes her self back to her feet, however, just as she does Emma wraps her up and release German suplexes her across the ring! Zelda holds her neck in pain as Emma crouches, the crowd cheers as Zelda gets up, she turns around and Emma nails the LONDON INVASION knee attack! She quickly hooks a leg and covers 1....2...3... no, Knite just rolls the shoulder in time.}

Eric Hardy: Almost had a new Women's World champion Kelly.

Kelly Knite: She was a hair away from taking that title from Zelda, she has been on fire ever since she broke Zelda's momentum.

Eric Hardy: That's Emma English, she can change the match on you in a heart beat.

{Emma slaps the mat before she grabs Zelda once more and pulls her back to her feet, this time she grabs Knite and spins her around looking for LONDON BRIDGE but Zelda manages to break her arms free and gives her a giant shove in the back. Emma hits the ropes and bounces back and manages to cross body Zelda who is trying to capitalize. Zelda is slow to get back up after the move as Emma is already back on her feet, she shrugs to the crowd as she watches Zelda struggle. When Knite gets up Emma wraps her up from behind, and looks for her high angle German suplex, but Knite kicks her feet and refuses to be flipped over. Emma puts Knite down and Zelda puts consecutive back elbows into the face of English, English loosens her grip, Zelda grabs her head and Asai DDT!}

Kelly Knite: The Any Given Moment...I thought her that...

Eric Hardy: You did?

Kelly Knite: In a way....

Eric Hardy: Does this “way” involve doing it to her?

Kelly Knite: Possibly....

{Zelda throws herself on top of Emma and the ref slides into place 1....2.... but somehow Emma is able to get her arm up. Zelda rolls over to catch her breath before she gets back to her feet, she throws her arms down and as Emma gets up, Zelda grabs her by the arm and whips her hard into the corner, Zelda charges in after her with the running big boot! Emma stumbles and falls flat on her face out of the corner. Knite jumps over her into the corner and climbs up, she positions herself and perches there, the fans are cheering. Emma pushes her self up, she turns around and Knite leaps off for the HERE'S TO THE KNITE... but Emma Catches her! Emma turns spinebusters Zelda to the mat, then flips over with a both of Knite's legs in her arms and bridges 1.....2.... NO! Zelda escapes!}

Kelly Knite: NO WAY, Emma, was so close.

Eric Hardy: It was a fantastic reversal, but Zelda is able to get out of it somehow.

Kelly Knite: I don't know how.

{Both women roll away and are back to their feet. Zelda crouches and runs towards English, English turns around and narrowly avoids a step up enziguri and Zelda falls flat on her face. Zelda gets up on her knees, holding her face. Emma runs forward bounces off the ropes and comes back with the GOD SAVE THE QUEEN flipping neck breaker! Emma quickly throws herself back on Knite 1....2.... but Zelda is able to put the arm up once more! Emma slaps the mat in frustation, she grabs Knite's hair and yanks her hard back to her feet, and slaps her across the face before kicking her in the stomach, and signaling for the OLD BRITTANIA as she takes a hold of Knite's head, Knite grabs Emma by the legs lifts her off her feet instead and looks to slam her down but Emma holds on and instead drives Zelda into the mat with a DDT!}

Kelly Knite: These two are throwing everything they have at each other....

Eric Hardy: They are.... and the fans are loving it.

Kelly Knite: I don't think they've stopped cheering...

{Emma and Zelda lay on the mat for several seconds before Emma turns and gets back up. She bends down to pull Zelda back to her feet as well, but when she bends down Knite slaps her across the face. Emma staggers away and turns around, Zelda jumps up, with Emma holding her face, Zelda comes up behind her, locks up her arms in a full nelson and hits the GAME OVER! Finally Zelda covers 1....2....3... NO! Emma kicks out! English kicks out!}

Kelly Knite: NO!

Eric Hardy: She just kicked out of Knite's finisher...

Kelly Knite: Wow... English may just be too much for Zelda here tonight...

{Zelda flops over and can't believe it as both women lay there. Zelda finally gets up, she grabs Emma and brings her to her feet, Emma throws a punch but Zelda ducks it and grabs her for the Knites of the Round, but before she can lift Emma puts an elbow shot right into Knite's temple. Zelda staggers away, Emma readies she kicks and goes for an enziguiri but right before she spins Zelda kicks out her leg and sends her flat to her back. Zelda locks up both legs, steps through and locks in the TRIFORCE!}

ERic Hardy: Triforce! Zelda has it locked in, in the middle of the ring!

Kelly Knite: come on Zel....

{Emma reaches and grabs at the mat, she tries to pull herself to the ropes but she can't as Zelda pulls back with everything she has. Emma falls face first to the mat, and the referee calls for the bell!}

Eric Hardy: Zelda retains! Zelda Knite

Amber Ashe: Your winner, and still NCW World Women's Champion... ZELDA KNITE!

Kelly Knite: She actually pulled it off... who knew....

Eric Hardy: Greath match between these two, great match...

Kelly Knite: Yeah but this next match... I'm not so sure about it...

Eric Hardy: Sometimes a title doesn't have to be involved for a match to be important. Sometimes a fight is righteous on simple principle.

Kelly Knite: Those're always the most fun... and Bloody...

Eric Hardy: Next, Falcon takes on Jimmy Zane in a Falls Count Anywhere match...

Falls Count Anywhere
Singles match
Jimmy Zane vs. Falcon

{"Cult of Personality" by In Living Colour begins to echo throughout the arena as multicolored smoke bellows from the entrance area and onto the stage. Strobe lights flicker as the VooDoo Child himself, Jimmy Zane slowly walks through the smoke. The fans boo as he smiles and pyros explode behind him. As the pyros explode, he shoots off like a rocket, flying down the isle in a spring, sliding under the bottom rope and jumping up as he hits the ring. He jumps to the second rope, taunting the crowd and then steps down as he awaits his opponent in the ring.}

Eric Hardy: Jimmy looks more furious than I've ever seen him.

Kelly Knite: Well, the man has been lied to for years, that'd piss anyone off.

Eric Hardy: Like all of my marriages..

{Smoke filters up from the exit to the back. The song begins, blasting right out of the gate. 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.} Underneath the surface, he's bound to be back for more. Keep your eye on the trigger man His hands are shaky, trying to find the score

{He runs back to the right, feeling the energy and feeding off it. More gestures, the crowd is near frenzied by this point.} Well, I see you have another friend to drag down the hole Watch him bleed on this freakshow Monday Watch him Crank the Sirens tearing up his soul

{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.} And there he goes, So close to a Remedy A Painful loss of his time, Loses his nights on the tour And he'll never show to the world how his life's supposed to be Drenched by the dark in his mind

{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.} He Believes in Silence He Believes that this is the end He Can't Hear the Sirens Silence is the greatest Sleep of them All.

{He turns from the ropes, getting ready for the match.}

Eric Hardy: Falcon has been tempting fate, calling on Zane to unleach his fury like he promised.

Kelly Knite: Birdo has a death wish, nothing new there.

{Falcon tries to lock up with Zane, but Zane just hauls off and lets him have it with a right hand, then a knifeedge chop with the left, another punch, another chop.. Falcon stumbles back, caught unaware by the sudden onslaught until he's against the ropes. Zane nails a kick to the to the gut, then snaps off a quick vertical suplex. Zane follows that with a standing senton, then hits the opposite ropes and springs off for diving bodysplash. Zane goes for a quick pin, but Falcon kicks out before even a 1.}

Eric Hardy: Zane is not relenting a bit, he's giving Falcon all the anger he can muster.

Kelly Knite: Be careful what you wish for next time, Birdo.

{Zane steps through the ropes and waits. Falcon slowly gets to his feet as Zane springboards in for a diving clothesline but Falcon rolls underneath it. Zane is quickly back around, only to be taken down by an armdrag. Zane gets back up, and gets taken down by a second armdrag. Zane to one knee this time, prompting Falcon to nail an enziguri to the side of his head.}

Eric Hardy: If anyone says anything about it, it's that Falcon can give as good as he gets.

Kelly Knite: Unless razor blades are involved, then he is the master.

{Falcon steps through the ropes, nailing a slingshot senton. He holds for the pin, but likewise Zane kicks out before a 1 is counted. Falcon picks Zane up, but Zane counters with right hands to the midsection. Zane follows with a sitout jawbreaker, causing Falcon to stumble back towards the ropes. Zane charges, but Falcon falls down, pulling the top rope down with him and Zane takes a hard spill to the outside floor.}

Eric Hardy: Not sure if that was ring awareness, or blind luck.

Kelly Knite: Just Falcon being Falcon.

{Falcon waits for Zane to get to his feet, vaulting over the top rope and coming down, nailing Zane with a Spike DDT on the floor outside the ring. Falcon stands up and heads for the crowd barricade, taking a folding chair from a giving fan in the front row. He turns to swing it at Zane, but Zane ducks under it, shoving the chair back into Falcons face and he drops it. Zane then hoists Falcon across his shoulders and drives him down with a death valley driver right on the ring stairs.}

Eric Hardy: That looked painful.

Kelly Knite: And he doesn't have to get back in the ring to win either.

{Zane rolls Falcon off the steps, noting that he's in the perfect position. Zane slides into the ring and climbs the top rope. The flashbulbs go off as Zane arcs through the air, coming down with a Black Magick Swanton Bomb. The crowd begins to chant Zanes name as he goes for the pin. 1...2... Kickout at 2...}

Eric Hardy: That was 2 and nine tenths.

Kelly Knite: Fractions are not your strong suit Hardy.

{Zane picks Falcon up, setting up for the Headshrinker piledriver, but Falcon counters, sending Zane over with a back body drop that plants him on the steel ramp. Falcon follows, and he and Zane start fighting up the ramp, exchanging right hands. Falcon blocks a punch and nails a DDT on the metal ramp. Falcon stomps hard on Zane, then steps back and nails a quick dropkick that pushes Zane off the ramp and onto the floor by the service corridor. Zane hits the ground hard, rolling in pain.}

Eric Hardy: This falls count anywhere match just took a violent turn.

Kelly Knite: I expected nothing less. Hardy is wetting himself, however.

Eric Hardy: I am not!

{Falcon backs up across the ramp, then runs several feet and leaping off, arcing backwards in a shooting star press, landing right on top of the prone Jimmy Zane. Falcon holds for the pin. 1... 2... Kickout at 2.}

Eric Hardy: Almost had it that time.

Kelly Knite: Failure is made of almosts...

{Falcon picks Zane up and whips him at the service door. Zane managed to stop himself at the door, only to turn into a shoulder check from Falcon and both men go through the door. Zane stumbles in the hall, almost tripping over the wooden freight pallet on the ground. Falcon hauls off and kicks Zane in the gut, then pulls him in, lifts him and drives him straight down onto the freight pallet with an Aerial Spike! The pallet shatters into fragments from the impact.}

Eric Hardy: He just turned one of our ring pallets into splinters with that Spike.

Kelly Knite: Hmph.. that's coming out of his paycheck.

{Falcon rolls Zane over for the pin. 1...2...3!!! NOOOO Zane KICKED OUT!}

Eric Hardy: I swear I thought that was it.

Kelly Knite: So did most of the audience.

{Falcon gets to his feet, finding a piece of wood that's mostly intact. He moves to swing it at Zane, but Jimmy ducks and the wood breaks against the wall. Zane stands up, a mask of fresh blood on his face, stops him short with a vicious headbutt to the stomach. He takes Falcon down with a double leg, then slingshots him up and into the metal rigging used to sey up the tron. Falcon clangs off it like a ragdoll, his face now bleeding from a cut on the forehead.}

Eric Hardy: If this keeps up, they're going to break all of our road gear.

Kelly Knite: So we'll just get new and better stuff, on them of course.

{Falcon manages to stay on his feet, despite bleeding more now. Zane grabs him by the back of his head and forcefully shoves him through the service door. Falcon stumbles through and Zane charges after him, but Falcon side steps and throws a wicked Pele kick, nailing Zane complete in the face. Zane stumbles, right into the arms of Falcon who lifts him up and drops him head first back onto the top of the ramp.}

Eric Hardy: I don't know how much more these guys can take.

Kelly Knite: The fans are going crazy, they might riot if it ends now.

{Falcon follows Zane and grabs him for a second Aerial Spike, but Zane shoves him off. Falcon comes back, walking into a Pele kick from Zane. Falcon stumbles back, dangerously near the edge of the ramp. Zane gets a hold of him, and sets up. The crowd going berserk.}

Eric Hardy: What the hell is he doing!?

Kelly Knite: Nothing good, that I can tell you.

{Zane flips forward, diving off the ramp with Falcon, driving them both down through the wood stage rigging with a Headshrinker piledriver!} N C Dub! N C Dub! N C Dub!

Eric Hardy: I think they could be dead or worse!

Kelly Knite: I hope so!

{Zane reaches across and draps an arm over Falcon. 1....2.....3!!!!!}

Eric Hardy: Zane did it! He defeated the bird!

Kelly Knite: If he wasn't a World title contender before tonight, he totally is now.

Eric Hardy: Listen to this crowd go nuts for that great match.

{Suddenly those cheers turn to boos as we see KLB and Lord Domonicus rushing to the ring, the fans know what this means. The three men suddenly start savagly attacking Falcon! They each take a turn nailing him with their finishers before sharing in a group high five and exiting the ring to the boos of the fans!}

Kelly Knite: What has just happened here!?

Eric Hardy: Apparently, Bates, Diamond, and Jimmy Zane have just formed an alliance....

Kelly Knite: Fans, we're going to have a word from our sponsers while Falcon is being helped out of this ring, after that brutal attack.

SEGMENT
DOMINICUS, BATES and ZANE
We're Infamous

Backstage, moments after the brutal beat down of Falcon by Dominicus, Kristoff Liam Bates and Jimmy Zane. We open to the three of them standing there, s*** eating grins smeared across their faces.

Dominicus: Tonight was about proving a point, a point each and everyone of you needed to know. Since the moment we arrived here every single one of you has been trying to hold us down. From being mis booked by management to being lumped in with our relatives to being forced into terrible gimmicks.

Dominicus brings attention to the mask he is forced to wear.

Dominicus: And we're tired of it. Last month I walked away from this company because I refuse to tarnish what little credibility I had. Bates tried to quit because my brother refuses to allow him near the main event. Jimmy Zane is on the brink of just ending his wrestling career. And for what? For you people? So you could all sit back and smile and laugh and say "Told ya so." SCREW THAT! AND SCREW YOU! We're not going anywhere. And we made that very clear tonight. Tonight we made a resounding impact. Nelly, he's not going to just laugh tis off like last time, Atreyu... Well... I'm sure he's reaping the benefits of being a bitch.... And Falcon will never underestimate Jimmy Zane again. Tonight is the dawning of a new age. Because tonight we decided to stop wrestling for you. Tonight we decided to give up on being remembered... Tonight... we became... INFAMOUS!

And with that Dominicus palms the camera and sends it teetering over. His voice is heard in the distance before the feed ends.

"And Payne... You want some... Come get some..."

End Feed.

Kelly Knite: Eric, I can just feel the greatness of this next match...

Eric Hardy: Kelly, with what has happened to Xavier Cross I don't know how this won't be something to remember for ever...

Kelly Knite: I swear... if he wins I'm going to cry....

Eric Hardy: I maybe there with you....

nCw National Championship
Singles match
Ace* vs. Xavier Cross

Silence fills the arena as they await to see what’s up next. Finally sparks start shooting upwards at the top of the ramp, the lights dim as blue and green laser lights ignite the center of the curtain. “You’re Going Down” by Sick Puppies starts blaring. As the chorus sets in, Xavier Cross steps into the arena with a towel draped over his head and shoulders. He stands, motionless at the top of the ramp, before bending down on one knee. He holds his head down, staring at his hands, before popping up and pushing the towel down off his head. His pyro explosion goes off in the background as he starts to make his way down the ramp. Amber Ashe announces the first competitor: “The following match is for the nCw National Championship…….Introducing the challenger…….Hailing from Lexington, Virginia…..Weighing in at two hundred and twenty-seven pounds……’God’s Greatest Gift’….Xavier Cross!” Cross shows virtually no emotion as he walks towards the ring, not acknowledging anyone. He makes a beeline for the steps and bounds up them in a flash before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. XC heads over to the bottom right corner of the ring and bends down in front of it. He mouths something before tossing the towel out to an assistant at ringside and steps up, backing into the corner. Our challenger stands, awaiting the arrival of his opponent.

Eric Hardy: “I honestly can’t believe Xavier Cross is going through with this match after the news her received just days ago.”

Kelly Knite: “Awww….Poor Cross….Yeah right. He’s gotta suck it up and wrestle.”

Eric Hardy: “He’s going into a title match with a heavy heart. You can’t help but feel some sort of pity for him.”

Kelly Knite: “Nope. I’m not a walking, talking, vagina like you though Hardy.”

As the opening drums and guitar play, the arena lights dim and flash slowly red. The titantron shows the silhouette of a woman with her hair blowing across her face and holding a playing card between the forefingers of her right hand, she flips it over in her fingers to reveal the Ace Of Spades, the symbol grows out of the card and gets larger as the opening chords get louder until it envelops the screen. Huge flame pyros explode either side of the ramp bathing the arena in a static red light as cards begin to fall from the rafters. The lyrics to 'Hallowed Be My Name' by Hammerfall begin as The Ace slowly rises out of the centre of the stage with his back to the audience. The circular platform is decorated as a roulette wheel and it slowly spins a one eighty facing The Ace forward. Ashe announces our champion: “From Birmingham, England……Weighing in tonight at two hundred and forty-six pounds….He is your nCw National Champion….The Ace!” He has a small water bottle in his right hand as he steps off the platform and walks through the shower of falling card as the titantron shows Spike Kane and Reckoning receiving Ace-Plants. He gets to the foot of the ramp and the cards stop falling before he enter the ring and walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing and sitting on it so he can take a sip of water. He spits the water into the air before walking to the center of the ring for the match to begin.

Kelly Knite: “And there’s our nation’s champion….a Brit.”

Eric Hardy: “It’s like the seventeen hundreds all over again with an Englishman holding the belt that symbolizes America. I’m sure Ace takes great enjoyment in that fact.’

Kelly Knite: “No doubt about it. And I like this guy’s style. He’s got a real bad*ass presence.”

Eric Hardy: “Ace is one the hardest hitters in nCw and tonight he takes on a man known for his in-ring prowess. We’re in for a real barn burner tonight.”

Kelly Knite: “Then shut up so we can get to the action.”

The referee checks both men for foreign objects before signaling for the bell to ring. Both competitors move about the ring, each looking to gain the first advantage of the match. Cross sticks his hand out and Ace slaps it, showing that he’s ready for the battle to begin. Cross charges in for a double leg takedown, which Ace blocks to the mat, before maneuvering behind and driving a forearm into Xavier’s neck and shoulder blades. He wrenches Cross’ arm and forces him to his feet. Cross ducks a Hook Kick and connects with a Spinning Back Elbow to the gut of Ace. Ace keels over and Cross drops him with a Sit Out Jawbreaker. He tries to follow up with another Jaw attack by attempting a Camel Clutch, but Ace trips him up by the leg and locks in an Ankle Lock. Cross tries to fight out of the hold, but Ace’s power is controlling the entire body of the challenger. Xavier finally rolls through the hold, sending The Ace crashing into the turnbuckles. XC gets to his feet and as Ace turns around, he is drilled with the Wake Up! Splash. Ace staggers out of the corner and Cross connects with a Jumping Reverse STO. Cross rolls Ace over and goes for a quick pin, but Ace kicks out instantaneously. Cross hops up and looks to hit a Standing Moonsault, as Ace rolls out of the ring and XC connects only with canvas. Ace grabs Cross’ leg and pulls him to the outside before dragging him to the steep steps. He places Cross’ foot against the steel and viciously kicks it, crushing his ankle. The Ace rolls back into the ring to break the count before heading back up and lifting XC to his feet, only to nail him with a sickening Snap DDT.

Eric Hardy: “The thud from that DDT can be heard throughout the arena. Skull crushing for certain.”

Kelly Knite: “Brain hemorrhaging meet Xavier Cross. Cross meet hemorrhaging.”

Eric Hardy: “Ace has such a mean streak. He’s willing to do anything to hold onto that title.”

Ace grabs Cross by his tights and tosses him back in the ring. He shoots the half and goes for the win. 1...2...the challenger gets his shoulder up. Ace uses this against his opponent, grabbing the arm and quickly transitioning into the Fujiwara Armbar by rolling the opponent over. XC desperately tries to get to the ropes as Ace aims to rip his shoulder out of socket. Cross wildly kicks his feet and manages to connect with the ropes, forcing the referee to break the hold. Ace waits until the count hits four to release, and pulls Cross by the injured arm to the center of the ring. He stretches out Cross’ arm before backing up and dropping a Ric Flair Style Knee on it. Ace rolls to his feet and watches as Cross struggles to his knees. He leaps with a Standing Scissors Kick, but misses when Cross dodges it and catches him with a one armed Spinebuster. Favoring his arm, Xavier bounces off the ropes and somersaults into a Rolling Thunder maneuver. Cross hooks the leg. 1.…2. Ace powers out. The challenger goes for the Rivera Cloverleaf, but Ace rolls him into the Small Package. 1.…2.…the surprised opponent kicks out and both men get to a vertical base. Ace throws a strong right hook before sending Cross off the ropes, before being dropped by a Lou Thesz Press and a series of Cross left hands. Cross is really getting fired up and feeding off the energy of the crowd. They clap and stomp in approval as he lifts Ace by the neck and careens up the turnbuckles with the Shiranui, but Ace is ready and ducks out of it. Cross lands on his feet and charges Ace, who awaits his movement, leaping in the air and connecting with a well timed Double Knee Armbreaker on the already impaired right arm. Ace waits near the corner for Cross to get up, feigning injury. XC reaches his feet and notices Ace favoring his sternum and charges the corner with a Spear, but Ace quickly moves out of the way causing him the collide with the ringpost. As he turns around, Ace drills him into the mat with a Spear of his own. He goes for the pin. 1.…2.…Cross gets his foot across the bottom rope breaking the pin attempt. Ace is undeterred as he drags Xavier towards the center of the ring, Cross stunningly kips up to one leg while Ace has control of the other and connects with a Dragon Whip Enzuigiri sending the champion crashing to the mat. Cross capitalizes on the opportunity and clamps on the End Game Cloverleaf! Ace dries with all his formidable power to drag himself and Cross to the ropes to break the hold.

Eric Hardy: “Cross really has the hold locked in tight. Ace’s back has to be killing him.”

Kelly Knite: “He’s in a more painful position than most of Steve Awesome’s sexual partners!”

Eric Hardy: “Is the champion going to tap? Does Xavier Cross have the title in his grasp?”

Kelly Knite: “My guess would be…..nope.”

Ace is unable to make it to the ropes as XC pulls him back to the center of the squared circle. The Ace uses his upper body strength to work his way under Cross and kick him off and into the corner. Xavier walks out holding his back as Ace delivers a face crushing Reversal of Fortune! Ace shoots the half and goes for the cover. 1.….2.….Xavier Cross barely gets his shoulder off the mat. The Ace is seemingly frustrated, but doesn’t lose his cool as he performs a Stomp on Cross’ ankle that the “Nature Boy” would be proud of. He looks over the situation and goes to a move known all around the world for it’s torturous nature, The Seven of Diamonds. XC writhes in pain as The Ace wrenches the leg crushing hold to a bone’s breaking point. With virtually no chance of reaching the ropes, the referee bends down to check for a submission and Ace seizes this opportunity to grab the second rope and apply extra pressure to the hold. As the referee looks up, he sends his arms back down to the mat, masking his misdeeds. The referee checks once again for the tap out and Ace goes back to his grasp on the ring rope. Just as it seems Cross is about to give up, the referee catches the champion going to the well once too often and orders him to break the hold. Ace begrudgingly follows orders, releasing the hold and getting in the face of the referee. As he argues with the official, he stomps down across the arm of “God’s Greatest Gift” who at the moment, doesn’t look so great. Ace rips Cross up from the mat and slaps him around the ring three times total and follows it up with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Ace plays to the crowd a little before heading to the top rope and looking down at his fallen opponent. Cross sits up and Ace comes flying with the Dragon Attack, however Cross rolls out of the way and Ace crashes hard on the mat. Cross bounces off the ropes and connects with a left Shoulder Block to the seated Ace. Both men are up quickly with Cross ducking a clothesline and dropping The Ace with an Olympic Slam. Ace is up quickly again as Cross runs off the second turnbuckle and does a picture perfect Springboard Arm Drag. Ace is seemingly taking minimal damage from these moves as they’re both up quickly again with Cross taking him down with a Scoop Slam. Cross climbs to the top rope and comes off with Fear. Ace moves out of the way, but Cross shows cat like agility landing on his feet. He appears to have injured his leg on the landing. He bends over to tend to it and Ace, ever the opportunist, nails him with the FameAcer! He takes a bow, commemorating his own efforts before rolling Cross onto his back. 1.…….2.…….Cross rolls the left shoulder up, saving the match for himself.

Eric Hardy: “You can’t keep Cross down. He’s showing incredible heart.”

Kelly Knite: “Well I get the feeling The Ace is about to rip his heart right out. I don’t see this one lasting much longer.”

Eric Hardy: “The Ace is putting on a brutalizing performance tonight. For Cross’ sake, I hope this one doesn’t go for long.”

Kelly Knite: “I do! I love a good beating/”

The Ace lifts Cross’ head off the mat before slamming it back down. He drags the challenger to his feet and lays in a series of Knife Edge Chops to his chest, backing him up into the ropes. He sends Cross off hits him with a Jumping Knee Lift as he rebounds off the taped cables. Ace outstretches the injured right arm and drops down on it with the point of the elbow and quickly gets up to do it again. The big Brit rips his American foe up another time and underhooks both arms. He lifts Cross high up in the air in preparation for his patented Double Underhook Backbreaker, when Cross slips over the back and fires off repeated kicks to Ace’s leg, giving him what the kid’s would call a “Dead Leg.” This series of kicks sets one of Cross’ signature moves into motion, the Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Cross goes throws a boxing style left jab, connecting with the temple of the champion who wisely tries to cover up. Cross continues his string of punches by going for the right jab, seemingly forgetting his injured arm. He grasps at it in extreme pain as the Ace fires off a European Uppercut to his jaw. Cross immediately fires back with an Uppercut of his own and the two exchange Uppercut after Uppercut. Cross gains the advantage and is fired up by the crowd response. He nails another uppercut and moves in on the Ace, who pushes him away and nails him square in the face with a Superkick! Cross doesn’t budge as he lets out a primal yell as the crowd explodes. Out of nowhere Ace drills him with another Superkick, and it only seems to be firing the Virginian up even more. Cross charges with great momentum, leaping in the air for a Frankensteiner, but The Ace somehow manages to catch the superstar and plant him with a Tiger Driver! Ace does not go for the pin however and instead sits the opponent up and locks him in a Fujinami Style Dragon Sleeper. Ace has the hold locked in far enough for the ropes that Cross’ only hope is the fight his way out of it or succumb to the pressure. Ace successful traps the arm in an attempt to make survival practically impossible. As the challenger appears to be fading, our referee raises his arm once and lets it fall to the side. He yells out “ONE!” He lifts Cross’ arm for a second time, and again it falls to a resting position. “TWO!” The fans desperately start to clap, encouraging XC to show any sign of life. The man in the stripes lifts the arm for the third and final time. As the limb falls for the final time and the referee prepares to call for the bell, our potential champion manages to keep it from dropping all the way, and begins to shake it with a fervor. The people jump out of their seats in excitement as Cross tries to escape the brutalizing hold. As he starts to gain leverage and slip out of the submission maneuver, The Ace releases and delivers and elbow shot to the crown of Xavier’s head. The Ace stands up and charges off the ropes going for a death blow knee to the skull, but Cross ducks in and School Boys him for the pin. 1.…2.…The Ace breaks free and tries to stomp on Cross, who rolls out of the way. Stomp after stomp miss as Cross dodges them all in a scene eerily similar to a game of Whack-A-Mole. Xavier reaches his feet and out of sheer anger, The Ace throws an errant clothesline and is caught in the sternum by a Shoot Kick. He bends forward and is practically infused into the canvas with the always nasty Snapmare Driver! Cross ascends the turnbuckles and comes leaping off, with a Imploded 450 Splash to the champion’s back! He rolls The Ace over. 1.…..2.……Ace kicks out!

Eric Hardy: “Ace is showing some resilience of his own. Kicking out of that beautiful 450 Splash takes a lot of fortitude.”

Kelly Knite: “I wonder if these two have health insurance? They’re going to need it.”

Eric Hardy: “This just goes to show how much every match and every title mean here in New Championship Wrestling.”

Kelly Knite: “Ah….The company line. You are such a sellout Hardy.”

A top rope maneuver like that has taken a lot of Cross, as he struggles to make his next move. He grabs Ace by the leg as he prepares for the Cross Knee Lock, surprisingly Ace has this scouted and kicks Cross through the ropes, and out onto the apron. Cross leaps up onto the top rope and springboards off with a Bulldog, crushing The Ace’s face. Cross follows this up by going for the deadly Cross-Roads crossface. The Ace fights it off with some elbows to the chest as long as he can, but Cross finally slaps it on and rears back with all the power, visually hurting his own arm in the process. The official checks for the tapout as Ace reaches his lengthy arms for the ropes, but there’s little chance of him getting there. Ace uses his legs for leverage and pushes back, pushing his own body on top of Cross’ who still doesn’t release the hold. With XC’s shoulders down, the referee counts. 1.…..2.….Cross has no choice but to break the hold, stopping his own demise. Now Cross appears to be upset with the referee, allowing The Ace to recover. Cross turns around and is met with a big right hand from the champion. Cross staggers backwards. The Ace fires off another haymaker, causing Xavier’s knees to buckle. Ace sends a boot to the gut of the opponent and hooks the head before lifting him high in the air for the Jackhammer. Cross’ back ricochets off the mat and Ace looks satisfied with himself. He motions to the crowd that the end is near and they don’t respond positively. Ace lifts Xavier up and controls the arm, setting him up for the Russian Roulette! Out of nowhere, Cross turns it around and nails the Crossifixion! He pushes the carcass over and lays on top for the pin. 1.……2.……Ace gets his shoulder up right as the referee’s hand comes down for the final time. Cross is shocked when one of his finishing moves doesn’t do the job. He goes for the pin a second time. 1.…2.…Ace kicks out again. Cross steps off and looks to go for a Standing Shooting Star Press, but Ace kicks his leg out, tripping XC. The two men exchange punches as they make it to their knees, each shot rocking one another. Both reach the standing position and trade blows, this time with Cross taking control. He Irish Whips Ace towards the ropes, but Ace blocks it and sends him charging towards the referee. Xavier barely manages to avoid crashing into the official, and checks to make sure he’s ok. Ace devilishly sneaks up and low blows the challenger, sending him tumbling to the mat, holding his groin.

Eric Hardy: “Ace just blatantly cheated, and the d*mn referee couldn’t see it!”

Kelly Knite: “Cross is going to be feeling that nutshot in the morning.”

Eric Hardy: “A blow to the testicles is nothing to laugh at. It could cause permanent damage.”

Kelly Knite: “Ok Dr. Douchebag……With a potential injury like that, you know what Cross must be thinking?”

Eric Hardy: “What?”

Kelly Knite: “Thank God I’m single.”

Eric Hardy: “Now that’s just cold.”

Kelly Knite: “Sorry... couldn't resist”

The referee questions Ace as to the circumstances surrounding Xavier’s crotch clutching, but he claims to know nothing and drags Cross away from the ropes and goes for the win with a Jackknife Cover. 1.…..2.….Cross staves off defeat by rolling his shoulder off the mat. The Ace runs his hands through his hair with anger in his eyes. He paces back and forth waiting for XC to reach his fighting stance. The National Champion sneaks up behind Xavier Cross and picks him up, performing a Spinout Powerbomb into the turnbuckles. Ace retreats to the opposing corner and builds up a head of steam before charging the trapped challenger. In a last ditch effort to stop the onslaught, Cross leaps up, putting both boots into the gut of Ace, and sending himself up onto the top rope with back flip. Xavier looks somewhat surprised to find himself on the top rope, as he looks down at the hunched over Ace. He looks up to the heavens for a moment and mouths a quick personal message to his beloved wife. With his feet firmly planted on the top rope, Cross flips through the air like an acrobat and drills Ace with The End Is Near! Cross struggles to get The Ace turned over before going for the win. 1.……..2.…….3!

Amber Ashe: “Here is your winner and the NEW nCw National Champion……XAVIER CROSS!”

Xavier Cross sits up from the pin with his hands covering his face as the referee hands him his newly won title.

Eric Hardy: “Cross has done it! He slayed The Ace and won the National Title!”

Kelly Knite: “I can't believe it...**sniffle** look at that....”

Eric Hardy: “Somehow he put all of that emotion aside and managed to come out of the match holding a title. Truly inspirational.”

Kelly Knite: “sniffle”

Eric Hardy: “Lets let him have his moment. He deserves it.”

Cross stands up and lifts his victor’s prize high above his head. He points towards the sky as tears start to swell up in his eyes. He wipes his face and climbs to the top turnbuckle as the crowd is exploding in approval for the new National Champion.

SEGMENT
Will Washington
Guess who's back...

We cut to the back where we get the image of a familiar platinum blonde gentleman standing with his back to the camera. He stares down a backstage hallway for a few moments, as Xavier Cross walks by, clearly not in the best shape after his brutal match. As he gets a little further down the hall, the figure starts to slowly clap before turning around. It’s former nCw wrestler Will Washington.

Will Washington: “Surprised to see me? Quite frankly I’m surprised to be here. A few months ago I announced my intentions to retire from New Championship Wrestling. I had become disenchanted with the whole world of professional wrestling and just didn’t care anymore. You see, when you sit there in the locker room and look at everything, it all seems so unimportant. Guys would step on anybody’s throat just to get ahead, and it really makes you hate yourself. All I could see was a blinding hatred for everything and everyone. So I called it quits, sat at home for a while and began planning my next move. Until one night I turned on Collision and sat there and realized what wrestling is all about. It’s not about the politics, it’s not about the glory. It’s about going out in that ring every night and putting on a show that you can be proud of.”

He turns back and walks down the hallway to the trainer’s room where he quickly peeks inside and see Cross getting his shoulder taped up.

Will Washington: “Did you see that match? Those Ace and Cross put it all on the line. That is the kind of dedication that made me want to be a wrestler in the first place. Sure they may have been fighting for a title, glory, and prestige, but when you’re in the ring none of that matters. It’s all above survival. Man at it’s most primitive form. Ever since seeing Collision, I’ve just been spoiling for a fight. I’ve got an itch that needs to be scratched. I need nCw as much as nCw needs me. The fans demanded it, and now it’s going to happen. Will Washington is back in nCw!”

He moves back up and closer to the arena. He sticks his head through the curtain and listens to the crowd chatter in anticipation for the main event World Title Match. He comes back and prepares to end the segment.

Will Washington: “I’ve laid out all the reasons I quit and came back, but I’ve yet to reveal the biggest one. Next month….March twenty-eighth. Sovereign comes around and that means one thing….The Coliseum Match. A brutalizing structure the alters careers, and I can’t wait for it. I’m going to do whatever it takes to get into that match, because I know that if I can win it, it will prove what I’ve been saying all along about my greatness. That Coliseum match is my Moby ****, and I intend to conquer it. It’s the biggest challenge any wrestler can face and the ultimate proving ground. However that‘s next month, and tonight we‘ve had an incredible show. It’s time for the main event and I’m as ready as you are. Butas you watch Gib and Angel put on another stellar match, keep it in the back of your mind that Will Washington is back, and he’s ready to reign.”

Eric Hardy: Will Washington is back, but now it's time for the match of the night....

Kelly Knite: It's going to be... wait..... something's going on..

Eric Hardy: Would people quit! I can't wait any longer for this!

SEGMENT
ALEX "PHOENIX" JONES
I came to play.

Inside the arena downstait's "I came to play" blasts over the PA, the crowd looks confused as to who it is untill Alex "Phoenix" Jones appears

"Run away if u see me, Dont even say my name, Dont think that you can know me, Dont try and play that game, Every day that i get better, I watch as you get worse, My script is too the letter, And i'll write your final verse, I am here to stay (Well im here to stay), And i have come to play"

Jones walks down the ramp towards the ring in a white "affliction Alex Jones signature" shirt and faded "bootcut" jeans. He slides into the ring and throws off his sunglasses.

"I came to play, I came to play, There a price to pay

Time for you to get down on your knees and pray, I came to pay, Say

goodbye to the good old days, Thier never coming back, Watch your future fade, I came to play, I came to play to get my dues paid, I guess you had a dream, But it cant be safe, I came to play"

Alex grabs a mic and stands on the middle turnbuckle smiling at the fans, he leaps down and walks to the center of the ring as the music dies down

AJ: Well it seems like I haven't been forgotten....

Dramtic pause for cheers

AJ: Now, I know many are wondering why I've returned after "losing heart" a few months back. Well it's simple really...I'm an attention whore....your cheers, boos and screaming it....it's like crack to me.... That and I have a few nagging issues. one of those issues is Adam Knite. See one year ago at this very event Crossroads, I faced Adam for the NCW title. Here I was on the cusp of becoming NCW champion, after a war had engulfed the company and I stepped up as the protector, well it was my destiny, or so I thought. But then, then I got screwed out of the NCW title. I got my dreams stolen from me and I was never able to get even....untill now. I'm done being the guy that "almost" was, I'm done standing behind in the shadows like I'm a second class citizen. Adam,l you can't run, you can't hide, you will pay what you owe to me, and you'll pay it in blood..."

AJ stops for a moment and smiles as the crowd again erupts.

AJ: And then there's Spike Kane. Well Spike, I guess your "issues" with Lance Ryan are finally over with his departure but, well you and me have never really settled ours, you're now "retired" standing behind Atreyu but trust me when I say this, at some time, some place you and me will get in the ring ONE MORE TIME....and we'll show NCW what happens when you and I go to war.... And lastly.....Angel, the world champion, you did it buddy, you did it. You realised your dream. But I still have my doubts. You and me had war after war after war and even though you came out on top..alot I still know deep down in my heart that I'm better....and now I know I have to go through every single NCW supertsra to get to you..and you know what?....I'm strangely comfortable with having to mow down everyone to get my hands on you....

AJ lowers the mic and takes a deep breathe

AJ: Three targets...three issues I have left to settle....NCW...it's going to be a long long winter...and I came...to...play....

Kelly Knite: Wow... AJ Phoenix is back! Finally....

Eric Hardy: Amazing news right before this match, but Kelly, the moment we have all been waiting for is finally here. The entire night has been building to this confrontation and to say theres allot riding on this match is an understatement.

Kelly Knite: It's fair to say whoever wins will be world Champion for a LONG time.

Eric Hardy: Angel has been playing some mind games this month, trying to break down his confidence, and it seems to have worked.

Kelly Knite: He's a piece of crap for that very reason... But I'll be honest, he played the game well and may be far enough in Gib's head to pull the win out tonight... Or he woke the beast....

Eric Hardy: Lets hope not, but if he did... Then nCw is in for a hellacious ride.

nCw World Championship
Singles match
Angel* vs. Gib

The song "I Wanna Rock" starts to play but then is scratched out with new words as the voice of Glen Danzig is heard...

"I've Got Something to Say, I Killed a baby today and it doesn't matter much to me as long at it's dead"

(from behind the curtain comes Gib, in his right hand he holds the mask of Homeless Harold, in his other hand a picture of Steve Awesome. He slowly walks to the ring taking time to use his massive frame to stare down members of the audience stupid enough to look for too long. He gets to the ring stepping in between the ropes going to his corner, he places the mask of Harold over the corner post, looking into the ring and the framed picture of Steve in the corner under the bottom rope. He looks at the mask, placing his hands on its cheeks speaking to it until he turns around, awaiting his opponent)

Kelly Knite: He's like a big brother to me and I'm pulling for him tonight Eric, he's earned this shot, he deserves the nCw World title... but...

Eric Hardy: But he still has to beat Savior X, the current World Champion, the man who won the Riot and defeated Falcon to get here.

Kelly Knite: This is going to be tough to call and that isn't just me saying it, it's going to be hard for me not take Gib's side here.

Eric Hardy: I understand how you feel Kelly, but on a personal level, I don't think Gib is going to be able to do it. You saw him break down, you saw Angel basically turn his son against him, Gib is fighting an uphill battle against a very dangerous adversary.

Kelly Knite: He's overcome worse.

( The arena lights go out and strobes begin to go off all over the arena as "Again we Rise" by Lamb of God blares through the PA system. )

RISE!!!!!!

( The Savior X logo appears on the screen, a giant red X with the word Savior written across the center of it. A circle of fire blazes to life on the center of the stage as Angel rises out of it mimicking the Jesus pose, Xander Famularo by his side, the nCw World Championship around his waist. A wall of pyro erupts behind Angel and Xander as they steps through the fire ring and make their way down the ramp on beat with the song, behind them a burning cross replaces his entrance video. 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. )

Rise, again we will rise!

( Angel rips the belt off and raises it above his head in his right hand as the chorus kicks in. He jumps off the top rope and struts to the center of the ring stretching his arms out in either direction with the World Title still in his right hand, his head bowed as the lights come back and the music fades. Xander stands by the corner where Angel entered the ring. )

Eric Hardy: The arena is buzzing, the fans are ready, and Gib and Angel are in the ring... with Xander at ring side...

Kelly Knite: Angel is looking at the World title for hopefully the last time and what the hell is Xander doing here?

Eric Hardy: Gib's placing his hand on it but his eyes are locked on his son. I honestly can't believe Angel brought him out here.

Kelly Knite: I can.

The final moments before the match officially begins pass with the ref explaining the rules. Gib's eyes are still locked on his son's as the ref backs away and calls for the bell.

Eric Hardy: HERE WE GO!

The two of them move right in and they go to lock up but Gib kicks Angel in the stomach, clubs him over the back and rips him off his feet for a fall away slam. Angel rolls to his feet and right into a big boot by Gib who plants him on the mat. Gib pulls Angel up by his hair and sends him flying into the corner where he follows him in with a back elbow shot and another and another. Gib turns, takes Angel by the hair and tosses him out of the corner. Angel rolls over and sits up but Gib kicks him in the back of the head.

Kelly Knite: Holy crap.

Eric Hardy: Seriously.

Kelly Knite: And this is why you don't play mind games with Gibby.

Gib pulls Angel back up to his feet and raises his arm up for another elbow shot but Angel heel kicks Gib in the throat then spin kicks him in the chest and catches him for a jumping DDT! Angel kips up to his feet to a small pop from the crowd and hits the ropes, he spring boards and catches Gibby with a drop kick before he can fully stand up. Gib rolls over and pushes him self off the mat on his hands and knees before Angel drop kicks him in the side of the head. Angel is right up and he goes out onto the apron and uses the top rope to sling shot himself back into the ring with a senton splash, at this point he rolls Gib over, literally flies up the ropes in the corner and comes off with a shooting star press right across Gib's midsection. Angel hooks his leg and Gib kicks out at two and sends Angel flying off of him.

Eric Hardy: Very impressive offense from the champion, but not even close to enough.

Kelly Knite: This is Gib's first chance at the world title and may well be his last, he has to make it count.

The two of them get back to their feet and the crowd begins to applaud both men's early offense. Angel gives a ****y smile and Gib roars at him looking for a clothes line that Angel ducks and counters with a spinning back fist. Angel turns enzugiris Gib in the face. Gib staggers into the corner and Angel takes off running and connects with a body splash in the corner. Angel steps out of the corner then turns and connects with a spinning heel kick to the side of Gib's head. Gib staggers and drops to one knee and Angel steps up onto the second rope, uses it to spring to the top, back flips off and plants Gib with another DDT! Angel rolls him over and covers. One.. Two.. KICK OUT!

Kelly Knite: AH! That was too close.

Eric Hardy: We've seen Gib falter to fast paced opponents in the past, but I really think this has more to do with Angel being in his head than anything.

Kelly Knite: Your right Hardy, I've never seen Gib wrestle a match like this before.

Angel only smiles as he gets back to his feet. He steps out onto the apron again and sling shots himself back into the ring and right into a boot from Gib.

Kelly Knite: YES!

Gib stands up as Angel shakes the cob webs loose and Gib doubles him over with a vicious clothes line.

Kelly Knite: Thats right Gib, make him SUFFER!

Eric Hardy: Woah.

Gibby pulls the champion to his feet and hip tosses him into the corner, Angel's back crashes against the turn buckles as he drops down onto his head. Gib wastes no time and plants a boot right in Angel's face where he begins to just press down with all of his weight. The ref counts to four and pulls Gib away and Angel drops out of the corner. The champion starts to push himself up when Gib grabs him from behind for a German suplex, only this one is so powerfully delivered that Angel literally flips over in mid air and crashes on his face and stomach. Gib turns over and rolls Angel onto his back and covers.

Kelly Knite: This has got to be it.

One... Two.. KICK OUT!

Eric Hardy: I honestly can't believe it.

Kelly Knite: He's wearing him down Hardy, Gib has him where he wants him.

Eric Hardy: I'm not nearly as confident as you are.

Kelly Knite: And nobody really asked you.

The two of them get back to their feet and Gib lines up the big right hand but Angel ducks the shot and goes for another high kick but Gib grabs his leg with his left and wraps his right hand around Angel's throat before lifting him high up into the air and just slamming him down with everything he has with a wicked choke slam. Gib hooks both of Angel's legs. One.. Two.. TWO AND A EIGHTH BUT KICK OUT!

Eric Hardy: Gib almost had him with that choke slam.

Kelly Knite: It's all part of the plan.

Gib again looks to the outside to see his son, a cold stark look on Xander's face as Gib looks down at Angel.

"IS HE YOUR HERO NOW!? IS HE YOUR NEW DADDY!?

No response from Xander.

Eric Hardy: Gib is getting distracted.

Kelly Knite: Damn stupid Xander, Angel knew this would happen.

Gib stands Angel up and lifts him high over his head in Gorilla Press position. Gib runs at the side of the ring and tosses Angel over the top, the world champion franticly flails his arms as he crashes sternum first across the guard rails and onto his back grasping his chest. Xander rushes over to check on Angel while Gib's eyes little blaze with hatred.

Kelly Knite: Oh crap.

Eric Hardy: I think this is where the ref is going to lose control of this match.

Kelly Knite: Don't do anything stupid Gib, please?

Gib nearly flies out of the ring and shoves his son off the champ. He pulls Angel to his feet and just head butts him across the bridge of his nose, blood instantly begins to pour and Gib whips Angel around and sends him face first into the ring post. Gib whips back around and glares at Xander who is picking himself up off the ground and backing away. Mean while Angel has rolled back into the ring. Gib is stalking his son around the side of the ring when Angel goes off the ropes, getting as much speed as he can before flying out of the ring with a FOSBURY FLOP ON GIBBY!!!!

"HOLY S***! HOLY S***!"

Eric Hardy: Holy cow, he just nailed him with that fosbury flop.

Kelly Knite: All because Gib couldn't keep his attention on Angel.

The champion picks himself up and lets out a loud "WOOOOO!!!!" as he backs up the ramp and keeps his eyes locked on Gib. Slowly Gib pushes himself off the floor but as Gib goes to stand up Angel comes running in and takes him down with a spinning neck breaker right on the padded floor. Angel helps Gib stand up and Irish whips his challenger into the near by ring steps which Gib goes rolling over after impact. Angel looks at Gib laying prone on the floor just past the ring steps and looks to the top rope.

Eric Hardy: What the hell does Angel have planned?

Kelly Knite: Something suicidal hopefully.

Angel slides into the ring and immediately climbs to the top rope. Gib is still down on the outside as Angel takes one last look around the arena and 450 SPLASH!!!

"NC DUB! NC DUB!"

Eric Hardy: A 450 splash to the outside? He's got to be insane.

Kelly Knite: Angel can't over power Gib so he has to wear him down anyway he can.

Eric Hardy: He picked a good way to do it.

The ref rolls to the outside to check on both men. Angel uses the ref's shirt to help himself up, Gib, slowly, uses the near by guard rails. Angel is to his feet first, Gib not far behind him. Angel runs up behind Gib and goes for the Revelations but when Gib feels Angel on his back he drops and slams Angel back first into the guard rails, pinning him between Gib and the rails.

Kelly Knite: Don't feel so damn smart now, do you?

Gibby stands up, takes Angel by the throat, stands him up, and with the strength of a behemoth, sends Angel back first into the rails again, forcing the first few rows of audience members to move back a few feet. Gib takes Angel by the neck and slams him into the rails a second time then Irish whips him so hard that Gib falls to one knee and Angel crashes into and knocks over the ring steps.

Eric Hardy: Is the ref really just letting this match fall apart like this?

Kelly Knite: It's for the world title Hardy, I'm pretty sure he realizes the fans would riot if we didn't have a winner.

Angel tries to pull himself up but Gib grabs him and GIB BUSTER ON THE STEEL STEPS!

Eric Hardy: OH MY DEAR LORD!

Kelly Knite: That Gib Buster is sure to take a few years off of Angel's life.

Gib reaches down and pulls Angel up in the Homeless Hook. Angel can't seem to breath and begins to gag pretty uncontrollably, that is until Xander steps into Gib's line of sight. Gib lets Angel drop to his knees.

Kelly Knite: NO YOU IDIOT! PAY ATTENTION TO THE CHAMPION!

Gib takes a few steps toward Xander but stops when he catches in the corner of his eye, Angel getting up. Gib turns around and rockets his right hand toward Angel's skull but Angel catches his arm and arm drags Gib right into the ring post. Gib's arm jams against the post as he drops down and screams. Angel shin kicks Gib as hard as he can in that right shoulder three times like rapid fire then just straight boots Gib in the face.

Kelly Knite: What a ****.

Eric Hardy: Kell, he's just doing what a champion has to do to win.

Kelly Knite: He's using Xander to distract Gib every time Gib is about to win the match.

Eric Hardy: You said it yourself, he has to stay focused.

Savior X rolls under the bottom rope and back into the ring. Gib is trying to loosen his arm up as he rolls into the ring but he's met with several kicks to Gib's shoulder. Each time he lets out a little yelp as Angel kicks the crap out of that shoulder.

Kelly Knite: This is just low.

Eric Hardy: He's removing Gib's most lethal weapon.

Kelly Knite: Which is a douche baggy thing to do.

Angel goes off the ropes and comes back full blast when Gib hits him with the BATTERING RAM! But both men go down, Angel gripping his stomach and Gib holding his neck, having probably jammed that as well.

Eric Hardy: Well Gib managed to stop Angel's momentum but at what cost?

Kelly Knite: The cost to give him time to recover.

Eric Hardy: I'm not sure exchanging arm pain for neck pain is better.

Kelly Knite: I'm not sure you know what your talking about, ever.

The two of them slowly start to get to their feet. Gib tires to fire a right hand at Angel but when he extends his arm pain shots through it and he retracts his arm in pain. Angel doesn't wait to see what happens next and nails Gib with the Seven Seals combo, a spinning back fist followed by a left handed open handed chop followed by a right handed knife edge chop, a left elbow to the face, followed by a European upper cut that knocks the opponent into the corner where Angel hits a flying knee lift and a running bull dog out of the corner.

Eric Hardy: This could be all she wrote.

Angel covers Gib, One.. Two.. KICK OUT!

Kelly Knite: Not tonight Eric, not with the world title on the line, Gib will not be denied.

Angel is up, he's a little stunned, but it doesn't phase him. Gib is on his knees, Angel runs past him and goes for the corner, he runs up the ropes and flies off with the WRATH OF GOD!!!! BUT GIB CATCHES HIM IN MID AIR ON HIS SHOULDER!!!!

Kelly Knite: YES! THIS IS IT!

Gib turns and faces he corner where his son is standing and big wicked smile spreads across his lips as he looks on. Xander locks eyes with Gib and pulls himself up onto the apron.

Kelly Knite: DAMMIT GIB! YOU HAVE HIM!! HARPOON HIM!!!! Gib points at his son and says...

"SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR HERO!"

Gib takes off for the corner, ready to Homeless Harpoon like he's never Harpooned anyone before right in front of his son but Gib wasted so much time yelling at Xander that he didn't realize Angel had nearly broken free of the hold already and just before Gib can toss Angel off his shoulder, Angel puts on the brakes and sides down Gib's back delivering the REVELATIONS BACK CRACKER!

Eric Hardy: ITS THE REVELATIONS!!!!

Kelly Knite: No way, no friggin way.

Gib is down, Angel is over him and he hooks his legs, nearly doubling him over to make sure he has the pin locked nice and tight.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!!!!

Amber Ashe: Your winner and still nCw World Champion.... ANGEL!!!!!

Kelly Knite: Dammit no, Gib had the match, he could of won...

Eric Hardy: And he hesitated Kelly.

Kelly Knite: All because of that douche bag son of his Xander.

The ref hands Angel the world title but he asks for a mic before he gets his hand raised.

Angel: I TOLD YOU GIB! I WANTED THE MONSTER! I WANTED HOMELESS HAROLD!

The fans begin to boo as they see Xander reach under the ring and pull out a black bag.

Angel: I TOLD YOU HOMELESS HAROLD LIVES.... OR GIB DIES!.... NOW YOU DIE!

Kelly Knite: What the hell are they doing?

Eric Hardy: I think their going to end Gib's career.

Kelly Knite: What!? No, they can't.

Xander rolls into the ring and reaches into the bag and pulls out a three foot long chain, slowly he wraps it around his fist.

Kelly Knite: NO XANDER! DON'T DO IT!

Angel pulls Gib up and hooks him under his shoulder. Xander rears back and blasts his father across the top of the skull with his chain wrapped right hand. The fans explode with roaring boos as Xander just goes crazy and begins punching the living crap out of Gib over and over again. A big gash opens across the top of his forehead as Xander just unleashes years of pent up aggression toward his father.

Kelly Knite: THIS IS SICK! THIS IS DISGUSTING!

Eric Hardy: This is the end of the Millennium Icon....

After ten shots, Xander backs off and Angel lets Gib drop back down to the mat. Angel stands up and asks for the chain, which Xander hands to him.

Kelly Knite: Now what? What else can they do to him?

Xander pulls his father up and Angel loops the chain around his throat once.

Kelly Knite: Oh god...

The two of them drag Gib to the side of the ring and Xander sends Gibby over the top, the two men take a side of the chair and pull back, forcing Gib's feet off the floor and basically hanging him over the side of the ring.

Kelly Knite: NO! STOP THIS DAMMIT!

Kelly Knite bursts over the table and slides into the ring, pounding Angel on the back as he and Xander hang Gib. Gib struggles and tries to get his fingers between the chain and his neck but he can't.

Eric Hardy: I don't even know what to say, where the hell is security?

Angel laughs off Kelly's attack as she gives in and goes to the outside. She tries to help Gib get the chain loose but the two men have him right where they want them. Kelly begs and pleads, tears stream down her face as Gib slowly drifts into unconsciousness.

Eric Hardy: Someone? Anyone in the back? Please send some help.

Finally Chris Diamond and a full detail of security come running down the ramp and fly into the ring. Diamond and security separate Angel and Xander from the chain. Gib drops down and onto the floor. Kelly rolls him over and checks to see if he's breathing, but she's not sure. His face is covered in blood, it's hard to tell if he changed colors. By this time Eric Hardy has also made his way over to Gib and Kelly. Angel and Xander have been backed up into the furthest corners from Gib. Angel turns and sees the mask of Harold on the ground next to him. He bends over and picks it up and wipes the blood of Gib thats on his hands across the face of the mask before holding it by the hair over his head along with the world title.
