BROTHERS FROM HELL VS KYLE CONGDON & JOSEPH STEELE
TAG TEAM MATCH
The arena gets dark and red smoke is appearing around the arena. Soon, The Brothers From Hell appears on the stage and starts walking down on the ramp and slowly goes inside the ring. The brothers are walking around the ring warming up from their match.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall, coming down the aisle at a combined weight of 425 pounds, representing the Wolfpack Nexus, DAMIEN & DANTE CULLEN... THE BROTHERS FROM HELL!
BR: Here comes the Brothers From Hell who had a major victory over Black Adonis last week!
MH: Yea and I suspect they are going to takeout the Steele Foundation as well.
BR: They only won because Conrad Black came out to attack Black Adonis!
MH: Excuses excuses... The Brothers From Hell are top notch!
BR: Either way I don't think Black Rose was trying to HELP the Brothers From Hell, but rather hinder Black Adonis.
MH: And look what it got them!
The lights dim as "We're In This Together" by Nine Inch Nails blasts over the PA system. Spotlights begin to flicker like strobe lights to the beat of the music, getting brighter and more intense until the beat drops and pyros go off as the men throw a fist in the air! They make their way to the ring getting fired up! The two slide in the ring and get ready.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, representing the Steele Foundation, at a combined weight of 420 pounds... KYLE CONGDON & JOSEPH STEELE!
BR: These guys formed the Steele Foundation last week with the Hardcore champ Rory Blaze. Tonight is their first tag team action!
MH: Let's see how it goes!
The bell sounds as Dante starts off with Kyle. They lock up in the ring as Dante has a crazy look in his eye as he backs Kyle into a neutral corner and starts to pound on him. Kyle leans through the second rope as the referee calls for the break. Dante doesn't let up!
BR: He's going to get himself DQ'd here!
The referee starts to count, One, two, three, four, Dante finally backs off. Kyle comes out of the corner with a running dropkick, Dante is down! Kyle hits a series of stomps on Dante followed by an elbow drop. Kyle covers.

THRE-Joseph Steele dives in and breaks the pin!

RING ANNOUNCER: Here are your winners by pinfall... KYLE CONGDON & JOSEPH STEELE... THE STEEL FOUNDATION!
WINNERS: STEEL FOUNDATION (KYLE CONGDON & JOSEPH STEELE)
BR: Impressive tag team debut here tonight!
MH: It was closer than it looks! If Kyle didn't act like a cheap bastard then the Brothers From Hell would be on top again this week!
BR: Cheap? He was just being a good tag team partner and STOPPING Dante from interfering!
The scene cuts backstage to the locker room of the AWS World Heavyweight champion, Liam McAllister. Liam's security detail, aka Kodiak Winters, stands guard by the door.
LIAM MCALLISTER: God damn these stripes are ugly as hell. Even I can't pull this garbage off.
BR: Oh look, our World champ is admiring himself in a mirror. There's a shocker!
MH: Buddy, you sir, are what the kids call 'a hater'.
BR: Seems to me he is taking a page out of Bobby Cranes disgusting book!
Suddenly there is a knock at Liam's door. Kodiak slightly opens the door to reveal one the non-descript employees of the AWS backstage crew. The young man appeared nervous as he spoke.
KID: Th..th..there's a package for you, Mr. McAllister
LIAM MCALLISTER: Package? I didn't order anything... Kodiak, go check it out. Probably some lame ass Conrad Black attempt at retaliation after I set him up last week.
Kodiak Winters exits the room and down a long hallway. After making several turns, Kodiak and the kid made their way to the back door of the arena. The worker motions to the set of bay doors to the left. Kodiak walks through the door and out into the cold, frigid, December air, but there is no delivery man to be seen.
MH: What is going on?
Kodiak looks around in frustration and as he starts to head back through the bay doors, they begin to shut. Kodiak runs towards the doors to try and slide in before they close, but he is too late. Kodiak slams his fists on the door and yells. The scene cuts to the other side of the door where a hand is shown on the button that operates the door. As the camera pans out to reveal the man behind the hand, we see that it is none other than...
BR: RORY BLAZE!!! IT'S RORY BLAZE!!!
MH: That scumbag!
BR: Rory Blaze has tricked Kodiak Winters outside of the arena and now let's see your little buddy Liam McAllister without his security blanket!
MH: This is so not fair to Liam!
BR: Fair? You want to talk about fair? I think that was a little bit of karma for all the interference that Kodiak Winters has done over the last 5 months.
MH: This is an outrage. I've got half a mind to leave and not do the rest of this show, but you'd bore the people to death. Just know I'm doing the rest of this show in protest.
BR: Noted! Rory Blaze is on a roll here. Last week he formed the Steel Foundation, this week he's made the World champ vulnerable!
The camera fades to commercials...
MH: It was closer than it looks! If Kyle didn't act like a cheap bastard then the Brothers From Hell would be on top again this week!

NATHAN GIBBS VS JAKE ADONIS

BR: Pulling double duty would be tough! Especially considering the nature of the matches!
The bell rings as Nathan offers to shake the hand of Jake. The crowd has a mixed reaction.
BR: Uh... nice show of sportsmanship by Nathan, but...
Jake smirks and shakes Nathan's hand... but turns it into a monkey toss! Nathan slams on the ground!
MH: Naive bastard!
BR: He's a good man with a good heart! A lot of people around here could learn a lot from Nathan!

WINNER: JAKE ADONIS (ADVANCES TO THUNDERDOME)
BR: Nathan had Jake's number tonight... but that damn Rocky stuck his nose where it doesn't belong again!
MH: Rocky and Nathan have been going at it for weeks. This seems totally fair to me.
BR: Well, it looks like Jake Adonis will be in a Tag Team title match AND the ThunderDome match in two weeks! Good luck I guess...
MH: You're just jealous of what Jake Adonis has...WAIT! LOOK! It's LIAM!
Liam is standing at on the stage at the top of the entrance ramp with a smirk... just clapping his hands in a mocking manner.
BR: What does he want!?
MH: He's just showing his appreciation!
Without a word Liam turns around and leaves...
BR: Always with the mind games...
MH: At least he has a mind!
BR: We have a quick medical update on Conrad Black and Erica Rose... the Tag Team champions known collectively as Black Rose!
MH: Are they dead!?
BR: No. They are pretty beat up though. They were originally going to be booked in a tag team match this week but weren't medically cleared due to the attack by Black Adonis.
MH: And...
BR: Apparently both members suffered bruised ribs and severe lacerations. There were concussion concerns for Conrad due to his head impact with the wall but those came back negative.
MH: Oh...
BR: However they are not medically cleared to compete this week or next week, but should be cleared to go by the time Hardcore Holiday arrives! That is great news!
MH: Depends on who you ask! Well up next we have the Wolfpack Nexus, Melvin Brown & The Ninja facing off against the Intercontinental champion Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks... stay tuned!

ROCKY HOLLYWOOD VS RORY BLAZE(C)
FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE
HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP
Longhorn plays as a limo drives out into the arena. As the driver walks toward the back, Rocky Hollywood gets out of the back and heads for the ring after pushing his driver on his ass.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following match is a falls count anywhere match for the Hardcore championship and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the challenger, From Hollywood, California, weighing in at 262 pounds... ROCKY HOLLYWOOD!
BR: Rocky is taking a break from bullying Nathan to try to gain hold of his first AWS championship!
MH: Bully my ass. Nathan is a punk ass bitch. Rocky is trying to teach him how to be a man!
Rory bursts through the curtains, still wearing the Krewsade mask, energetically and motions for the crowd to stand on their feet, amping them up. He stands at the top of the ramp and slowly removes the mask he wore as Krewsade to a blast of pyro, jolting the crowd.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing his opponent, the current AWS Hardcore champion, hailing from the Jersey Shore, weighing in at 236 pounds... RORY BLAZE!
BR: This man has been on quite a roll in the AWS. He just recently formed the Steel Foundation which was successful earlier tonight. I think Rory will have a tough time holding on to his newly won championship!
MH: Rocky is due for a big win and this is it!
The bell sounds through the arena as Rory and Rocky lock up dead center. Rocky tries to poke the eyes of Rory but he blocks and gives a short shoulder check to Rocky. Clothesline by Rory! Rocky gets up and charges at Rory but Rory is able to turn it into a big powerslam.
Rory is moving in for another attack but Rocky rolls out of the ring to gain his bearings. The crowd starts to roar! This confuses Rocky as he looks at the crowd and back into the ring at Rory. He's not used to the crowd cheering his ability to escape attacks...
BR: Oh boy... business is about to pick up!
MH: Look! Oh no...
Nathan is tearing down the ramp with tears streaming down his face! He has a steel chair! Rocky turns around at the last moment, but it's too late! Nathan slams the steel chair over the head of Rocky. Rocky hits the ground bleeding like a stuck pig!
BR: Nathan is here! Nathan is here! And he by-gawd wants REVENGE!
Nathan takes the chair and starts wailing on Rocky! Over and over and over he nails Rocky with the chair.
MH: Good lord! What is his problem, Buddy!?
BR: Maybe its the fact that Rocky has spat in his face? Or attacked his best friend? Or nearly choked his girlfriend? Or how about EARLIER TONIGHT WHEN ROCKY COST HIM A GOD DAMN SHOT AT THE WORLD TITLE!
MH: You've got quite the boner for Nathan, eh?
Nathan slams the chair into Rocky, over and over and over until the chair literally falls apart. Rocky is a bloody mess on the ground. With tears streaming down his face he collapses, maybe just realizing what he has done...
BR: I think Nathan has snapped!
Rory cautiously slides outside the ring and kind of puts his hands up to Nathan indicated that he wants no trouble. Rory covers Rocky!

QUINLAN QUAIL VS BLACK VELVET
THUNDERDOME QUALIFICATION
Ready for the Floor by Hot Chip plays as Quinlan dances to the ring, skipping and swaying happily. His bulk sways side to side, almost like a metronome. It's a wonder that he is able to move, being as heavy and fat as he is, but surprisingly he handles himself with ease.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following is a ThunderDome qualification match scheduled for one fall! Coming to the ring first, weighing in at a whopping 1000lbs, from Des Moines, Iowa…QUINLAN QUAIL!
MH: This tub of lard has no business being in the ThunderDome.
BR: Give him a chance, Michael. He might surprise you!
You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine by Lou Rawls plays as Black Velvet comes out to the ring with two fine looking ladies on his arms. When they get to the ramp, the two ladies walk to the back and Velvet struts his stuff down to the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER: And his opponent, representing The Anarchy, weighing in at 450lbs, from Las Vegas, Nevada… BLACK MOTHERFUCKING VELVET!
MH: How is the ring even going to hold both of these men?
BR: Oh come on, you’re just being mean.
The bell rings and the two giants lock up, each fighting for control. Velvet is the stronger of the two, but Quinlan weighs more, so the advantage goes to the larger man. He backs Velvet up into the corner and the referee makes him break it up. He backs up a little and runs forward. SQUASH... OR WAS IT PUMPKIN!?
MH: That is the stupidest name for a finisher I’ve ever heard.
BR: I can’t believe he hit it so soon out of the gate. This one might be over for Velvet!
Quinlan moves and Velvet flops to the ground. Quinlan covers.
One...
Two...
THRE-NO!
BR: NO! Velvet kicked out just at the 2.9 mark. What a way to start the match though. Quinlan almost decimated Velvet early on!
MH: I can’t believe Velvet can still breathe after that.
Quinlan helps Velvet to his feet and wraps both hands around Velvet’s neck. CLASH OF THE GUMMI BEAR!@
BR: This is a squash, pardon the pun. Velvet hasn’t gotten any offense yet and Quinlan has hit both of his finishers!
MH: I don’t know if Velvets going to be able to kick out of this one!
Quinlan covers again.
One...
Two...
THRE-NO! ROPEBREAK!
BR: NO! Velvet put his foot on the ropes at the last second! The referee saw it! The match is going to continue!
MH: Tub tub must be getting pretty frustrated here!
Quinlan yells "I'm gonna squash you." and goes up on the second rope, Velvet gets up quickly as Quinlan is on the turnbuckle. PIMP SLAP!
BR: Pimp Slap! All the way from by gawd hell!
Quinlan slouches forward, woozy. Velvet looks around at the audience and signals for it, walks over to the slouched over Quinlan and drapes him over his shoulder, Quinlan's body weight mostly supported by the turnbuckle.
BR: There’s no way! There’s no way he’s going to be able to do it!
MH: He made a promise that he would, and it looks like he’s going to deliver here!
Black Velvet heaves Quinlan forward. KING SIZE CRUSH!!!
BR: No! No Way! No Way!
MH: King Size Crush!
Black Velvet makes the cover!
One...
Two...
THRE-NO! NO! NO! KICKOUT!

BR: Oh my god! Jupitersault! What a moonsault by that beast of a man!
MH: How can he do that?
Black Velvet lands square on Quinlan as the referee counts.

BR: Look, there he is again!
Liam is once again, on top of the ramp giving a slow, pretentious golf clap to Black Velvet for earning his way into his match. Black Velvet is shaking his head as Liam waves his hand and goes back behind the curtain.

"Not Gonna Die" by Skillet hits over the speakers and Jon Rocks comes out to the ramp and looks excitedly out into the crowd as he stands at the very center of the top of the ramp.

RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, hailing from Sunshine City, California, he is the ever-optimist... JON ROCKS!
"Undead" by Hollywood Undead plays around the AWS arena. The arena is pitch black and once 25 seconds of the song, the lights flash back on and Taylor is kneeling on the stage and screams "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" and rises up and throwing his hand and walking to the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER: And the second special guest enforcer for this match, he is the AWS Intercontinental champion... DUKE TAYLOR!!!
Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits hits over the speakers and as the guitar picks up Liam McAllister steps out from behind the curtain amid a chorus of boos.

Liam is wearing a pair of all black pants that you'd normally see someone working out in along with a black and white striped referee shirt sans sleeves. Liam sports a black cast on his left arm to complete his look for the night. The boos reign down on the World champ as he makes his way to the ring.
BR: Wasn't that cast on the other arm last week?
MH: ...
BR: Yeah, that's what I thought. The champion looks a little nervous without his bodyguard here tonight.
MH: Blaze will pay for that!
RING ANNOUNCER: And now, introducing the special guest referee for this match, he is the AWS World Heavyweight champion... LIAM MCALLISTER!
As the voice of Queen's "I Want It All" play through the arena the lights dim. From the back, Kincaid emerges slowly as the guitar kicks in. He stares out over the jeering fans and sneers back at them. Behind him, his manager Alyssa walks up with a smile on her face. The reception for her is more kind and this seems to disgust him more. He walks down to ringside, jawing with the fans and mocking a few before rolling under the ropes into the ring. He heads over to the corner and gets up to the second buckle, yelling some more insults at the fans and awaiting the bell.
RING ANNOUNCER: Making his way to the ring first, being accompanied by Alyssa, hailing from Bearing, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 240 pounds... KINCAID!
"Neo ExDeath" by The Black Mages hits over the sound system and the building goes dark, and the crowd rises to it's feet with a roar of cheers. When the lights come back on, Matthias Barrows is standing center stage with his arms out and the AWS Television title around his waist. He survey's the crowd and then let's out a maniacal laugh as he begins to walk down the ramp towards the ring. And the bottom of the ramp, he slaps himself in the face twice before sprinting towards the ring and diving underneath the bottom rope.

BR: Matthias means business here tonight Heenan, going on the offense very quickly.
MH: Friggin' gnat! Get up Kincaid! Crush him!
Matthias returns to his feet, dragging Kincaid up with him. Matthias scoops Kincaid up for a slam but he wiggles free! Kincaid with a forearm to the small of the back! Matthias arches his back in pain as Kincaid brings him in and hooks him up.. brainbuster!! Kincaid feeling it now as he gets up and measures Matthias up...leg drop across the throat followed by a cover!
BR: Could this be it already?!
ONE!
KICKOUT!!!
BR: Matthias with a kick out!
MH: What a perfect count by Liam.
BR: You would…
MH: What? He’s great at everything!
Kincaid quickly to his feet and starts to stomp Matthias' mid-section, attempting to shatter his ribs with every forceful kick coming down! Kincaid stops to pose for the crowd who return with jeers for the veteran. Kincaid smiles at the crowd sarcastically as he flips them off! Kincaid turns his attention back to Matthias and pulls him into a sitting position...reverse chin lock!
BR: Kincaid quickly releases the hold and steps back and hits a running boot to the back of the seated Matthias Barrows!!
MH: Kidney shot!
Kincaid pulls Matthias back to his feet and whips him into the ropes, but Matthias reverses it and whips Kincaid into the ropes. Kincaid grabs ahold of the ropes and holds on. Matthias bounces off the ropes and takes off towards Kincaid. Kincaid ducks under and sends Matthias flying to the outside with a back body drop!
BR: Oh my God! Matthias landed violently after flying to the outside!
MH: Yeah, this could spell trouble for Matthias. Everyone knows you can't trust those two guys on the outside of the ring!
BR: I think you’re wrong… look…
As soon as Matthias hits the floor, Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks rush over and immediately toss Matthias back into the ring. Duke and Jon give each other a nod of approval before returning to their positions.
BR: Now that’s how you do your job! Jon or Duke could have very easily taken a cheap shot but they have integrity!
MH: Integrity? More like lack of intelligence! They are more concerned with making friends than doing what is necessary!
BR: I’d expect nothing less from you.
Matthias and Kincaid to their feet at the same time...Kincaid swings with a wild right but Matthias ducks it and delivers a right of his own and connects! Matthias nails Kincaid with a forearm to the face and has Kincaid reeling! Kincaid leaning against the ropes and Matthias charges him full speed...Kincaid with another back body drop over the top rope! NO! Matthias catches himself and lands on his feet on the apron! Kincaid turns around and swings for the fences but Matthias ducks and slide under bottom rope between Kincaid legs...Kincaid turns around receives a clothesline over the top rope!
BR: And once again this match will be fought inside the ring as our enforcers are doing their jobs!
Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks once again run over and quickly roll Kincaid back into the ring. Kincaid is stunned and has no time to fight back and he finds himself right back in the clutches of Matthias Barrows.
MH: I can't watch this idiocy! Those two do know that they had a chance to wound their opponent for Hardcore Holiday and they... they're deciding to play by the rules?!?
BR: Matthias grabs Kincaid...giant hip toss out of the corner! Matthias stands, waiting for Kincaid to return to his feet.
Kincaid rushes in at Matthias and the two men lock up in the center of the ring. Matthias grabs a hold of Kincaid and whips him into the ropes. Kincaid quickly reverses it and sends Matthias into the ropes, Matthias on the return and Kincaid wraps around him, and locks in an old-school sleeper hold!
BR: Liam is quick to check if Matthias wants to give up...but Matthias refuses!
MH: See? He’s doing his job… calling this thing right down the middle like he said he would!
Matthias drops down to a knee, struggling to escape the sleeper hold! Kincaid locks the hold in tighter as Matthias makes it back to his feet. Matthias fights...and he's able to return to his feet! He rushes back and smashes Kincaid in to the corner!
BR: Matthias stumbles out of the corner... still feeling the effects of that sleeper hold. Kincaid regains his composure and a drop toe hold by Kincaid! Kincaid quickly follows up by applying a reverse armbar!!
MH: Not good for Matthias here!
BR: Matthias is obviously in pain as Liam checks on him...but he won't give up!
Matthias struggles to get to the ropes to force a break of the hold. As he inches closer and closer to the ropes, Kincaid fights back to try and pull the reverse armbar tighter. Matthias reaches out with his foot and finally puts it on the ropes.
BR: Alright referee! Make him break the hold!
Liam yells at Kincaid to break the hold, but Kincaid just yanks back even harder on the arm of Matthias. Liam threatens to disqualify Kincaid who just glares at the World champion. Liam reaches in and pulls Kincaid off of Matthias much the chagrin of Kincaid.
BR: Oh, and that is surely to catch the ire of the veteran!
MH: Don’t you do it, Kincaid… don’t you dare touch the ref!
BR: Funny how all of the sudden you’ve developed an affinity for referees.
Kincaid shoves Liam who returns the favor. When Liam shoves Kincaid, Kincaid falls right into the arms of a Matthias Barrows roll up. Liam jumps into position and makes the count
ONE….
KICKOUT!
MH: Keep poking the bear, Kincaid, and it’s going to bite you in the ass!
BR: I hate to agree with you, but Liam was abiding by the rules there, and Kincaid almost paid the price with the roll up.
MH: Don’t say roll up…
BR: Why not?
MH: You do realize we’re calling a Matthias Barrows match? If he hears roll up he’ll probably get counted out.
Kincaid kicks out of the roll up fairly quickly and both men get to their feet at about the same time. Kincaid rushes at Matthias, but Barrows takes him down to the mat with a headlock takedown. Matthias pops back up and so does Kincaid, Kincaid rushes in again and again Matthias takes him to the mat with a headlock takedown! Kincaid slams the mat in frustration.
BR: The TV Champ starting to mount some offense now.
MH: No, he's just offensive! His very existence is offensive!
Kincaid again wildly rushes in and Matthias connects with a European uppercut that finds the mark. Matthias grabs onto Kincaid and whips him into the turnbuckle, Matthias follows in with another European uppercut!
MH: Man, I hate Matthias, but that European uppercut had some force and momentum behind it.
BR: Matthias reaching back and hitting a third straight uppercut to the jaw of Kincaid! It looks like Matthias is setting him for something high risk here...
Matthias sets Kincaid on the top rope and begins to climb to the top rope himself. Matthias locks in a front facelock and throws Kincaid's arm over his shoulder before flipping him over and falling back to the mat with a superplex!
BR: Good lord that shook the ring! What impact!
MH: That's what she said...
BR: Focus on the match, Heenan!
Matthias capitalizes on the high impact move and covers Kincaid. Liam takes a little longer than normal to get into position and makes the count.
O....N....E!!
KICKOUT!!
BR: That had to be the slowest count in the history of slow counts.
MH: This is his first time refereeing! Give him some slack.
BR: Weren't you the one singing his praises earlier? I think Rocks or Duke Taylor should enforce the rules.
Jon Rocks jaws at Liam from the outside of the ring for making such a slow count. Liam just smiles at the Ever-Optimist as he feigns like he doesn't know why Jon is upset! Matthias just shakes his head and decides to continue the assault. Barrows steps to the outside and climbs to the top rope. The fans stand in anticipation as Matthias stands on the top rope and raises his hand high in the air.
BR: Get out of the way you little...
MH: Watch it, Buddy!
As Matthias is set to leap off the top rope he is blocked by Liam McAllister. The referee in the match had been watching Jon Rocks on the outside and backed right into the way of Matthias Barrows. Matthias yells at Liam "MOVE, YOU ASSHOLE!!!", and Liam looks up and acts surprised that he is in the way. Liam quickly shuffles out of the way and Matthias leaps for a flying elbow drop, but Kincaid moves out of the way at the last second!!
BR: That bastard! He got in the way and that was all the opening that Kincaid needed to move out of the way.
MH: Buddy, that was inadvertent!
BR: Inadvertent my ass!
Matthias holds onto his elbow as he writhes in pain and Liam laughs. Kincaid uses the ropes to get back to his feet and he stomps the head of Matthias several times. Matthias tries to crawl to the ropes to pick himself back up but Kincaid just stalks him. Kincaid picks up Matthias and brings him into Kincaid with a short arm clothesline that flips Matthias over onto his stomach. Kincaid turns him back over and cover him.
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
KICKOUT!!!
BR: Seemed fast to me, but Matthias able to kick out.
MH: Fast? That was a normal count! You just hate Liam that bad!
Kincaid elbows Matthias back down to the mat after the kickout and begins to blatantly choke Matthias. Liam springs into action to stop the obvious choke and Kinciad quickly releases it before transitioning into a side headlock. The fans start cheering for Matthias and he is able to get to his knees then all the way to his feet. Kinciad floats into a side headlock, but Matthias instantly forces him off in to the ropes. Kincaid on the return...and Matthias takes him over with a running knee to the gut!
BR: Kincaid quickly returns to his feet... lockup! Kincaid with a rear hammerlock...
Kincaid with a German suplex attempt...but Matthias blocks it! Matthias with a go behind. He attempts a German of his own, but Kincaid blocks it! Matthias rushes Kincaid forward in to the ropes and he pulls Kincaid down to the mat from the rebound for a rollup!
O...N...E!!!
T....W....O!!!
NO!!!
BR: Kincaid with the kickout! So much for calling this one fairly, huh?
MH: Seems fair to me.
Kincaid returns to his feet as Matthias rushes at him...clothesline, NO! Kincaid ducks, but Matthias spins Kincaid around and Kincaid dropkicks Barrows to the mat. Matthias springs back to his feet and Kincaid with another dropkick. Matthias tries to get back up but as soon as he does, Kincaid plants him with a DDT! Kincaid covers.
O.....N.....E!!!
T.....W....O!!!
NO!!!
BR: My god that was the slowest count I’ve ever seen!
MH: Again, looked good to me.
BR: So much for calling this one fairly for either man!
Kincaid points at Liam and mouths a few words that we can't hear to him. Presumably he is threatening Liam after that slow count. Kincaid picks up Matthias by the hair as he continues to mouth at Liam and it gives Matthias the opening he needs to punch Kincaid in the gut. Kincaid slumps over in pain and Matthias hops up and bounces off the ropes, Matthias returns and hits a scissors kick to the back of Kincaid's neck. Matthias with a cover.
O...N...E!!!
T....W....NO!!!
Matthias now becomes frustrated and he gets in the face of Liam McAllister who points to his referee shirt to indicate that he in charge. Matthias gets ready to rear back and strike Liam in the face, but Liam motions for the bell to disqualify Matthias if he does.
MH: DQ him! DQ him, Liam! He put his hands on you!
BR: So did Kincaid and Liam didn’t seem to be so quick to DQ Kincaid!
Matthias turns around and is met with a vicious low blow from Kincaid!
BR: Just when Matthias was starting to gain an advantage! Did you not see that one, Michael? Where are your calls for DQ now?
MH: Matthias doesn’t have much down there… it’s like hitting Erica Rose in the nether regions!
BR: You… you are a sick man.
Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks immediately get on the ring apron and begin to yell at Kincaid and Liam McAllister for the dirty tactics inside the ring. Liam yells at both of them to get back down.
MH: What are these idiots doing?
BR: Their job! They are here to enforce the rules of this match and unfortunately the referee is the main one not following them!
MH: LIAM, LOOK OUT!!!
Liam turns around at the last possible second before Kincaid was about to club him in the back. Instead Jon Rocks and Duke Taylor both take the brunt of the forearm shot and fall to the mat on the outside. Kincaid turns around and Liam with a SPOTLIGHT STRIKE! NO! Kincaid catches Liam's leg and spins him around and clotheslines him over the top rope and onto the outside!
MH: DQ him! DQ him!
BR: That would mean Matthias Barrows gets the win...
MH: Don't DQ him! Don't DQ him!
Liam spills into the arms of Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks who had just gotten to their feet from being knocked off by Kincaid. Kincaid looks at the three of them on the outside and gives a shrug before bouncing off of the far ropes and diving between the ropes with a suicide dive on Liam, Jon and Duke!!!
BR: Carnage! It's carnage here at Ascension!
MH: Uh... I don't see Melvin Brown!
BR: Kincaid just took out the referee and both enforcers! This is madness!
MH: Oh god... what is this nut job about to do?
The suicide dive took a bit out of Kincaid as well as the other three men and it gave Matthias Barrows enough time to get back to his feet. Matthias scales the top turnbuckle and waits perched atop like he was waiting for his prey. Kincaid, Liam, Jon Rocks and Duke Taylor all get to their feet and just as they do Matthias leaps with a high cross body that takes out the entire group and himself!!!
BR: There's bodies everywhere! Everybody is down and out! Jesus!
MH: This is the insanity that IS the AWS!
BR: You're damn right! You're only going to see PPV quality action LIVE every Wednesday night!
All the men begin to stir and Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks are the first to get to their feet. They immediately use what strength they have left to roll Kincaid back into the ring. As they are doing that, Matthias Barrows gets to his feet and he walks over to Liam McAllister.
BR: Matthias seems more concerned with Liam here than Kincaid.
Matthias goes to pick up Liam but Liam springs into action with an uppercut followed by a SPOTLIGHT STRIKE to the jaw of Matthias. The kick rocks Matthias and crowd instantly erupts in a chorus of boos.
MH: AMAZING!
Jon Rocks and Duke run over and get in between a fallen Matthias Barrows and Liam McAllister to prevent any further damage by the referee. Liam backs away and slides back into the ring under the bottom rope. Jon and Duke help Matthias back to his feet and back into the ring. Liam jaws at the two enforcers and has his back to the action in the ring. Kincaid picks up Matthias on his shoulders setting him up for the FINISHING TOUCH, but Matthias wiggles free and picks up Kincaid... 10-SP!!!
BR: Matthias hit it! Damnit, turn around Liam!
MH: If those two idiots weren't distracting him on the outside! THEY are the problem!
BR: What logic!
Duke and Jon yell and point for Liam to turn around but the World champ continues to trade insults with the two. Matthias gets up from the pinfall attempt and grabs Liam by the shoulder and turns him around. Matthias points to a still on the mat Kincaid before hooking the leg of Kincaid for another pinfall. Liam finally jumps down to make the count.
O...N...E!!!!
T...W....O!!!!
NO!!!
BR: Kincaid with the kickout and Matthias is not happy!
MH: Is he ever?
BR: He could have had this match won!
MH: Could have... that's a big if.
Matthias stands up and as he tries to pick up Kincaid, Kincaid pokes him directly in the eye. Kincaid stands and positions Matthias between his legs. Kincaid points at Jon Rocks on the outside of the ring and he drives Matthias into the mat with a Canadian destroyer!
BR: Kincaid just hit the EVERLASTING SUNSHINE on Matthias and pointed at Jon Rocks before he did it.
MH: That was awesome!
BR: Kincaid with the cover and this could do it!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
Matthias gets his foot on the ropes!
MH: Cheap! That was cheap!
BR: That, my friend, is the rule.
MH: It's a cheap rule and you know it!
Kincaid becomes frustrated and stands up looking down at Matthias in an almost psychotic-like state. Kincaid presses his boot over Matthias's throat and uses the ropes as leverage. Liam starts yelling at Kincaid and warns him about being disqualified! Kincaid releases it and Kincaid grabs Matthias's legs and attempts to lock in a Boston crab! No! Matthias reverses into a small package!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THR...NO!!! Kincaid kicks out!
MH: OH MY GOD! That freaking gnat!
BR: Now that was a fast count FOR Matthias. It's like whoever Liam is more irritated at during that moment during this match is who he's trying to screw out of this match!
MH: I think you need your glasses checked. These have ALL been textbook counts!
BR: Matthias almost stole the win with that inside cradle!
MH: You hear what you just said? 'Stole', which means even you think the only way Matthias is walking out of Ascension with a win is by some cheap trick or cheating!
BR: Look in the mirror!
Kincaid is up... and now Matthias is up! Matthias tries for a cross body but Kincaid catches him! Kincaid goes for a tilt-a-whirl slam, but Matthias escapes. He hoists Kincaid up for a 10-SP!! No! Kincaid grabs the head of Matthias and plants his feet on the ground! FINISHING TOUCH! Cover!
ONE...
TWO....
THREE!

As the voice of Queen's "I Want It All" play through the arena the lights dim. From the back, Kincaid emerges slowly as the guitar kicks in. He stares out over the jeering fans and sneers back at them. Behind him, his manager Alyssa walks up with a smile on her face. The reception for her is more kind and this seems to disgust him more. He walks down to ringside, jawing with the fans and mocking a few before rolling under the ropes into the ring. He heads over to the corner and gets up to the second buckle, yelling some more insults at the fans and awaiting the bell.

MH: What? He’s great at everything!
Kincaid quickly to his feet and starts to stomp Matthias' mid-section, attempting to shatter his ribs with every forceful kick coming down! Kincaid stops to pose for the crowd who return with jeers for the veteran. Kincaid smiles at the crowd sarcastically as he flips them off! Kincaid turns his attention back to Matthias and pulls him into a sitting position...reverse chin lock!
BR: Kincaid quickly releases the hold and steps back and hits a running boot to the back of the seated Matthias Barrows!!
MH: Kidney shot!

BR: Oh my God! Matthias landed violently after flying to the outside!
MH: Yeah, this could spell trouble for Matthias. Everyone knows you can't trust those two guys on the outside of the ring!
BR: I think you’re wrong… look…
As soon as Matthias hits the floor, Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks rush over and immediately toss Matthias back into the ring. Duke and Jon give each other a nod of approval before returning to their positions.

BR: Kincaid just took out the referee and both enforcers! This is madness!
MH: Oh god... what is this nut job about to do?
The suicide dive took a bit out of Kincaid as well as the other three men and it gave Matthias Barrows enough time to get back to his feet. Matthias scales the top turnbuckle and waits perched atop like he was waiting for his prey. Kincaid, Liam, Jon Rocks and Duke Taylor all get to their feet and just as they do Matthias leaps with a high cross body that takes out the entire group and himself!!!
BR: There's bodies everywhere! Everybody is down and out! Jesus!
MH: This is the insanity that IS the AWS!
BR: You're damn right! You're only going to see PPV quality action LIVE every Wednesday night!
All the men begin to stir and Duke Taylor and Jon Rocks are the first to get to their feet. They immediately use what strength they have left to roll Kincaid back into the ring. As they are doing that, Matthias Barrows gets to his feet and he walks over to Liam McAllister.
BR: Matthias seems more concerned with Liam here than Kincaid.
Matthias goes to pick up Liam but Liam springs into action with an uppercut followed by a SPOTLIGHT STRIKE to the jaw of Matthias. The kick rocks Matthias and crowd instantly erupts in a chorus of boos.
MH: AMAZING!
Jon Rocks and Duke run over and get in between a fallen Matthias Barrows and Liam McAllister to prevent any further damage by the referee. Liam backs away and slides back into the ring under the bottom rope. Jon and Duke help Matthias back to his feet and back into the ring. Liam jaws at the two enforcers and has his back to the action in the ring. Kincaid picks up Matthias on his shoulders setting him up for the FINISHING TOUCH, but Matthias wiggles free and picks up Kincaid... 10-SP!!!
BR: Matthias hit it! Damnit, turn around Liam!
MH: If those two idiots weren't distracting him on the outside! THEY are the problem!
BR: What logic!
Duke and Jon yell and point for Liam to turn around but the World champ continues to trade insults with the two. Matthias gets up from the pinfall attempt and grabs Liam by the shoulder and turns him around. Matthias points to a still on the mat Kincaid before hooking the leg of Kincaid for another pinfall. Liam finally jumps down to make the count.
O...N...E!!!!
T...W....O!!!!
NO!!!
BR: Kincaid with the kickout and Matthias is not happy!
MH: Is he ever?
BR: He could have had this match won!
MH: Could have... that's a big if.
Matthias stands up and as he tries to pick up Kincaid, Kincaid pokes him directly in the eye. Kincaid stands and positions Matthias between his legs. Kincaid points at Jon Rocks on the outside of the ring and he drives Matthias into the mat with a Canadian destroyer!
BR: Kincaid just hit the EVERLASTING SUNSHINE on Matthias and pointed at Jon Rocks before he did it.
MH: That was awesome!
BR: Kincaid with the cover and this could do it!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
Matthias gets his foot on the ropes!
MH: Cheap! That was cheap!
BR: That, my friend, is the rule.
MH: It's a cheap rule and you know it!
Kincaid becomes frustrated and stands up looking down at Matthias in an almost psychotic-like state. Kincaid presses his boot over Matthias's throat and uses the ropes as leverage. Liam starts yelling at Kincaid and warns him about being disqualified! Kincaid releases it and Kincaid grabs Matthias's legs and attempts to lock in a Boston crab! No! Matthias reverses into a small package!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THR...NO!!! Kincaid kicks out!
MH: OH MY GOD! That freaking gnat!
BR: Now that was a fast count FOR Matthias. It's like whoever Liam is more irritated at during that moment during this match is who he's trying to screw out of this match!
MH: I think you need your glasses checked. These have ALL been textbook counts!
BR: Matthias almost stole the win with that inside cradle!
MH: You hear what you just said? 'Stole', which means even you think the only way Matthias is walking out of Ascension with a win is by some cheap trick or cheating!
BR: Look in the mirror!
Kincaid is up... and now Matthias is up! Matthias tries for a cross body but Kincaid catches him! Kincaid goes for a tilt-a-whirl slam, but Matthias escapes. He hoists Kincaid up for a 10-SP!! No! Kincaid grabs the head of Matthias and plants his feet on the ground! FINISHING TOUCH! Cover!
ONE...
TWO....
THREE!
RING ANNOUNCER: Here is your winner by pinfall... KINCAID!
WINNER: KINCAID
BR: Oh my god! I can't believe that Liam actually called a pinfall!
MH: This one could have easily gone either way with or without Liam!
BR: Kincaid scores the big win tonight. He has been unstoppable since returning to the AWS!
MH: This was an amazing match!
BR: On more than one occasion Matthias had this thing won!
Kincaid pulls himself up by the ropes, exhausted after a grueling match. It doesn't work and he falls to his hands and knees. He rolls under the bottom rope to the floor onto his feet. His music plays on and on as he lays there on the floor. He staggers his way over to the stairs and uses them to push himself up to his feet.
MH: An absolute war here tonight in our main event! And Alex Kincaid keeps the train going as we wind our way on toward the Intercontinental Title Scramble!
BR: He said he'd beat the odds tonight, and he did. You've got to wonder how that's going to change things going into-
He makes it over to the announce table and his hands slam down on the surface of it. The announcers seemed stunned for a moment and he picks up a microphone. Kincaid walks over to the apron and hops up on it to take a seat. As the fans buzz about what he's going to say he brings the microphone up to his lips.
KINCAID: So here we are, another match on Ascension where when everybody goes home all they're going to remember is what I did. Another episode of Ascension where I'm the biggest, baddest part of this show. Another show where next week people are going to buy tickets because I left somebody in a pool of their own blood. And now that I'm the main event, for the second time, and now that I've got the most anticipated title shot in this company going I get a little opportunity. I get a chance to get a few things off my chest.
One of the referees makes his way over to say something to him and Kincaid lowers the microphone long enough to tell him to go away. The referee refuses and Kincaid spits out a few very creative expletives. The referee frowns and walks away.
BR: Uh, well, that's another great episode of Apex Wrestling Syndicate. Next week we present a Christmas-
KINCAID: Don't you dare try to cut me off Roberts! I want you to have to listen to this too. Because you're as much of the problem as any of those idiots who were in the ring with me tonight, as much as any of those idiots in the stands, as much of that out of touch loser who signs the check backstage. Because you know the truth don't you? That I'm the best wrestler in this company. That I'm the biggest star in this company. And that no matter how much bullshit you pull to try and control me it's NEVER going to work!
He's screaming a bit now, spittle flying out of his mouth toward the camera that's moved in front of his face.
KINCAID: I was the best when this company sent Geoffrey James to a tiny little indy show last summer. I didn't come looking for you, you came looking for me. And what happens? I show up and I put a few people down. But I say a few things you guys don't like and what happens? Suddenly, Alex Kincaid isn't on shows anymore! Suddenly the phone calls stop coming! But see, everyone starts bugging the office, there gets to be enough noise about where I went that I come back. What happens? What happens? When I get back, I get shit like this. I get put in situations where no one thinks I can get it done. You put me against champions because you're sure I can't beat them. Done. You put me against monsters and I beat them. Done. And now, you put me in a special referee match with a guy who can't stand me and a few of the other jackasses. Because I will ALWAYS get it done. I will ALWAYS be the one guy this company can never control.
He drops off of the apron and this time the referee gets directly in his way. He piefaces the ref and shoves him to the ground. He screams something at the fallen referee and then storms back over to the announce table.
KINCAID: I am tired of this. I am TIRED of the disrespect. I am tired of being placed in situations where everyone's against me but these idiots at the table are still calling me-
He cuts himself off as he walks behind the announce table and yells something we can't hear to the announcers. Heenan desperately scrambles out from behind the table and runs away. Buddy Roberts stares at the wrestler firmly, refusing to move from his post. Kincaid smirks and shakes his head.
KINCAID: Oh, look at this. The voice of AWS. The most trusted voice in professional wrestling. You going to stand up to me? Why? Because I'm a 'bully' right? Bully? Isn't that what you called me you old piece of shit? ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU SAID?
With that, he grabs Buddy by the collar of his shirt and shoves him back. The announcer tumbles wildly into his chair and then falls out of that to his back. Kincaid walks around the table and grabs him by the collar, standing over him and screaming abuse in his face. Before he can pull back his fist to attack though, security dives on him. In a moment a half dozen security guards are pulling him away from the old announcer. Kincaid tries to fight back but there's enough of them to pull him backward. The camera cuts to another, wide shot of the ring in an attempt to get us away from the scene. Our last shot is Kincaid fighting wildly against the security before a wild episode of Ascension goes off the air.
