CIVIC ARENA - PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, USA
The scene cuts into a packed arena as the music blasts over the arena and a series of golden pyros blasts off around the big screen down the ramp and around the ring fading into a haze of smoke. The stage is covered in red velvet as a large throne sits off to one side. We cut to the announce booth.

BUZZ JACOBS VS ROCKSTAR OWEN YOUNG
SINGLES MATCH
The lights dim in the arena, as "Habits (Stay High) - Hippie Sabotage Remix" by Tove Lo hits. A single spotlight shines on the entrance. After a suspenseful delay, Buzz steps out onto the ramp, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, pulled over his face so you can barely even see his eyes. The fans boo as he marches down the aisle, ignoring their outstretched hands and insults. He hops onto the ring apron, tilting his head back, and scanning the crowd disdainfully. He climbs through the ropes, pulling his hood down, as he walks to the nearest turnbuckle. He raises one arm into the air, and with one finger outstretched. He hops off of the apron, removes his hoodie, and then goes over to the far corner and paces as he awaits the start of the match.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Lansing, Michigan, weighing in at 210 pounds... BUZZ JACOBS!!!
BR: This man has a lot of potential, but he hasn't been able to backup his words as of yet.
Owen Young's entrance is be fitting to that of a rock star. Strutting down toward the ring, blowing kisses to the fans and occasionally playing some air guitar, loud fireworks popping off all over the place as he does so.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing his opponent, making his AWS debut, weighing in at 180 pounds, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 180 pounds... ROCKSTAR OWEN YOUNG!
MH: This guy is weird. He's tiny but has the ego of Kodiak Winters!
BR: Work with what you got I guess. Here we go!
The bell sounds as Buzz points and laughs at Owen.
BR: Buzz doesn't think Owen is a threat!
Young immediately score with a huge right hand! Young backs Jacobs in to the corner and Irish whips him hard to the other side, Buzz staggers out of the corner. Spinning heel kick from Young!
BR: Young looking good in his debut right here!
Young throws Buzz shoulder first in to the ring post! As Buzz hangs Owen starts to taunt the crowd.
BR: Look at the arrogance!
MH: Hey, he’s fully in control, he has time to showboat!
As Buzz recovers and staggers out of the corner Owen blasts him with THE ROCKSTAR KICK! Buzz drops to the canvas like a ton of bricks. The RockStar moves on to the apron and heads up to the top rope
MH: Man, this guy is on fiaaaah!
The RockStar comes flying off the top rope. Diving Elbow! Owen Young immediately pops to his feet, again taunting the crowd! Young then points at the grounded Buzz and LIONSAULT!

MH: It's clear that Buzz severely underestimated Rockstar.
BR: What a strong display by little man RockStar Owen Young!
MH: Buzz came in talking a lot of smack, aiming straight for the World champion, but so far he hasn't been able to back anything up. If he gets another shot he will have to show up with more force than he has done so far.
BR: Big Pay Per View win for Owen Young! Congratulations to that young man.
MH: Up next we have "Right Now" Ryan Shane who has also been struggling face off against Rocky Hollywood. Rocky is a bit upset after being eliminated from the Lord Of Ascension tournament.

RYAN SHANE VS ROCKY HOLLYWOOD
SINGLES MATCH
"Victim" by Eighteen Visions begins to play throughout the arena. The entrance ramp is dimly lit as the figure of Ryan Shane makes his way out. Pyro goes off as Shane makes his way to the ring as the fans erupt in a chorus of boos. As he gets to the ring he hops onto the apron. He enters the ring and then stands and raises his hands high to the continuing sound of boos.

MH: I love it! Only Rocky Hollywood would drive a limo into the arena!
BR: I doubt he's ever driven a day in his life! Pompous ass!
MH: You wouldn't say that to his face!
The bell rings and Ryan Shane charges out of his corner towards Rocky... Rocky meets him in the middle of the ring with a spear!
BR: I think Shane lost a boot on that spear!
MH: Yeah, and here I was thinking that Rocky hasn't been the same since that brutal backstage brawl at Hardcore Holiday with Nathan Gibbs!
BR: Nathan hasn't been the same since... I know that. And nobody can really be the same after that match!
Rocky springs to his feet and lays the boots to Ryan Shane. After several stomps he picks up the smaller Shane and tosses him across the ring with a huge German suplex!! Rocky with a cover.

CHRISTINE(C) VS THE NINJA
LORD OF ASCENSION SEMIFINALS MATCH
The opening keys of "Big Bad Wolf" start to play as the arena lights go out and the stage lights flicker on and off. The opening lines play through as flashes of the stage lights show a silhouette off a woman fending off various attackers. As the tempo builds and the tune hits a climax, all the lights come back on and Christine is on the stage, looking down, her hair dripping wet and draped over, covering her face. After a few seconds, she flips her head and hair back as she walks down the ramp. The audience boos her as she makes her way to the ring, but she is unmoved by their actions. She slides into the ring with no show or fanfare of any kind, simply looking to the ref, tests the ropes a little and goes to her corner warming up for the match.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following match is a semifinals match in the Lord Of Ascension tournament! Introducing first, the current AWS Television champion, hailing from Oakland, California, weighing in at 160 pounds... CHRISTINE!
BR: Christine won the TV title a few weeks back and has been very impressive thus far.
MH: True, but let's not count Ninja out.
Locked and Loaded plays as the crowds boo. Then The Ninja comes out as the boos gets louder. Ninja walks along the ramp ignoring the crowds. He goes into the ring and climbs on the ropes and looks at the crowd and taunts at them. He gets off and starts to warm up for his match.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing last, representing the Wolfpack Nexus, weighing in at 225 pounds... THE NINJA!
BR: Here comes the Ninja who has been pulling off big win after big win in this tournament.
MH: He must have heard my wise tips, I take FULL CREDIT for the Ninja's recent success.
BR: Of course you would.
The bell sounds as both competitors lock up in the center of the ring. Christine immediately whips Ninja with a brutal hiptoss followed up with a kick to the spine. The Ninja gets up as Christine bounces off the ropes. Christine leapfrogs Ninja. The Ninja tries to hiptoss Christine on her way back, but she lands on her feet. She goes for a stiff roundhouse kick but Ninja ducks. Ninja tries to sweeps the legs of Christine, but she jumps over them.
MH: Incredible!
On the way down The Ninja goes for an uppercut, but Christine grabs his arm and tries to flip Ninja with a Monkey flip. The Ninja lands on his feet... like a Ninja, and goes goes for a superkick. Christine dodges and pushes his leg backwards, The Ninja falls on his back and rolls through back to his feet and the two have a standoff as the crowd goes absolutely nuts!
BR: I've never seen a better back and forth with reversals in my life!
MH: The crowd isn't fond of either of these two but by god they respect the athleticism.
The two lock up dead center once again. This time Ninja pushes Christine in the ropes. On the return he nails a stiff shoulderblock sending her to the ground hard. The Ninja locks in a classic reverse chinlock but Christine is able to reach the ropes. The referee counts One, Two, Three, The Ninja releases.
MH: The Ninja relents a bit earlier than usual.
BR: Smart in my opinion. You don't want to risk a disqualification. There is SO MUCH on the line!
Christine nails The Ninja in the face with an elbow followed up by a DDT. Christine, now firmly in control lifts Ninja up with ease and nails a big suplex. Without releasing Christine picks Ninja back up. Christine nails The Ninja with a HEADSCISSORS ARMBAR!
BR: Armbar! Armbar!
MH: One of Christine's specialties!
The Ninja is frantically trying to escape the hold, but has nowhere to go. Just when it looks like Ninja is going to tap he uses his leg strength to pull both himself and Christine closer to the ropes. He hooks the ankle!
ROPE BREAK!
BR: Christine is forced to break the hold!
The Ninja rolls to the outside apron. Christine charges towards Ninja, but Ninja grabs the top rope and leans backwards, thrusting his foot into the head of Christine, knocking her silly. The Ninja is up. He grabs ahold of Christine and hits a superplex to the outside!
MH: Oh my god! Superplex to the outside!
BR: Both of these competitors want to win this tournament so damn badly!
The referee begins to count. One...
Two...
Three...
Four...
The Ninja is on his knees, as is Christine.
MH: What would happen in the event of a double countout? Would Velvet vs Conrad become the finals?
BR: Or maybe they would restart the match? I'm not sure!
Five...
The Ninja is leaning on the outside rail as Christine grabs the second rope. The Ninja comes around and runs over and clubs her in the back.

He spins her around... CODEBREAKER! Both fall backwards on the ground.

MH: This is crazy!
The Ninja is up, and rolls in the ring!
Eight...
Nine...
Out of nowhere Christine kips up and slides into the ring!
BR: Nine! Nine! Nine! Nine!
MH: You sound like Hitler receiving some bad news about the status of the war!
BR: Oh a Nazi joke... real classy.
MH: In all seriousness I have no idea how she came to and got in the ring with less than one second left.
The Ninja shakes his head. He picks her up and kicks her in the gut. STUNNER! Bam!
BR: Now she's done.
The Ninja goes for the cover.
One...
Two...
THRE-KICKOUT!
MH: What!
BR: Only two!
The Ninja gets in the face off the referee. The Ninja is nose to nose with the referee. Christine comes from behind and hits a rollup.

Two...
T-KICKOUT!
MH: Two!
Both fighters get up and exchange a series of right hands. Christine avoids a shortarm clothesline and hits a running bulldog. Christine pounces like a jungle cat and locks in SILENCE!
BR: Dragon Neck Crank!
MH: She calls that Silence!
The Ninja is struggling to reach the ropes but can't.
BR: This isn't looking good for Ninja...
MH: Is our first Lord going to be a Woman?
BR: Nothing wrong with that you idiot.
The Ninja is struggling to find the ropes. Out of nowhere the Brothers From Hell run down the ramp!
MH: It's the Brothers From Hell from the Wolfpack nexus!
BR: Oh no!
Both members of the Wolfpack get up on the apron and threaten to get in. The Ninja is tapping out!
MH: The Ninja is tapping! The Ninja is tapping!
BR: The referee doesn't see it! God damn it!
During the distraction Tommy McClinton grabs the Ninja and pulls him closer to the ropes and wraps his arms around the bottom rope. Tommy hand signals the Brothers From Hell to leave.
MH: Tommy is brilliant! I want him to manage my career!
The Brothers From Hell immediately stop and jump off the apron and head to the back. The referee turns around to see Ninja in the ropes. He tells Christine to break the hold but she shakes her head.
The referee starts to count! One! Two! Three! Four! Fi-
Christine breaks the hold and gets in the referee's face herself! She is yelling at the referee that Ninja was tapping. The Ninja is up! He spins Christine around. STUNNER! The Ninja falls on top of Christine.

WINNEr: THE NINJA (ADVANCES TO FINALS)
BR: With a little bit of help from other Wolfpack Nexus members, The Ninja advances!
MH: Christine had this match won but the only thing that matters is what the referee sees!
BR: The TV champion can't be happy, but I think The Ninja could have just as easily have won.
MH: He did win!
BR: I mean legitimately, without the referee missing a fall.
The camera cuts to show Liam McAllister and Rory Blaze walking down a hallway backstage conversing on tonight’s main event.
RORY BLAZE: So you think if we rely on that strategy, Matthias will fall for it?
LIAM MCALLISTER: Absolutely. I’ve faced Matthias three times and I’ve beaten him three times. He’s nothing if not predictable.
RORY: What if he doesn’t go for it?
LIAM: I always have a Plan “B”. This will work, trust me. Come on, I want to go over the plan with you one more time before we go out there.
Liam goes to open the door to his locker room, but when he does, he and Rory are both drenched when a bucket of a liquid that looks VERY dirty empties on them from above.
LIAM: Ugh! What the hell!?
RORY: Oh my god, it reeks! What is this crap?
Liam sniffs, but then grasps his stomach and gags a few times to keep himself from vomiting. After he composes himself, he identifies the substance.
LIAM: This is bong water!
RORY: Fitting. Who do we know around here that uses a bong?
LIAM: Matthias is DEAD!
Liam and Rory enter the locker room with Liam slamming the door shut behind them.
MH: Christine had this match won but the only thing that matters is what the referee sees!

MH: Lord Velvet or Lord Black... Or Lord Ninja?
"Personal Jesus" by Marylin Manson begins to play over the venue's sound system as Conrad Black appears from behind the black curtain. Conrad runs from left to right at the top of the aisle, pointing at fans that are cheering for him and holding Black Rose signs. Conrad then makes his way back to the center and starts to walk down the aisle, slapping hands along the way. Black gets to the ring and hops up on to the apron, walking left and right across it, still acknowledging his fans. Conrad then steps through the ropes and in to the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following contest is a quarterfinals match in the Lord of Ascension tournament, introducing first, one half of the current AWS Tag Team champions, from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 220 pounds… CONRAD BLACK!

MH: Black Velvet, is now just one match away.
BR: As is The Ninja.
MH: Later tonight we will have the FINALS of the Lord Of Ascension tournament.
BR: This long journey will finally come to the end. Either The Ninja or Black Velvet will become the first ever Lord Of Ascension. The 2015 Lord Of Ascension will not only be the LORD until this time next year, but they will get a one on one World Heavyweight title shot next month, at Danger Zone!
MH: The Ninja has a slight advantage time wise, his match was the one previous to this one so he has had a bit more time to rest.
BR: That's right Michael. Both of these men need to get a shower, or a rubdown and prepare as best they can. They have a few matches to rest, but very soon they will be called upon for the finals.
MH: They better stay warmed up. They can rest but if they just lay down in the back their body will tighten up which can be bad.
BR: Lets take a look at the Lord Of Ascension tournament brackets.

RING ANNOUNCER: The following match is scheduled for one fall, with the winner becoming the number one contender for the Television championship, already in the ring, weighing in at 120 lbs, from Brooklyn, New York... Stephanie Hawkins!
Stephanie makes no reactions towards her name being announced, instead focusing on the ramp, where he opponent will soon be emerging.
BR: Stephanie seems to have changed since the last time we saw her.
MH: You know, I hate to agree with you on anything. But it really seems like she’s completely lost herself. I think she's taken that loss to The Ninja very hard. I think she's been shattered.
BR: Not much of a veteran if you can't take one loss.
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. Master Seafood follows along, waiting at ringside.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing her opponent, weighing in at 1000 pounds, hailing from Des Moines, Iowa... QUINLAN QUAIL!
MH: He claims that this is the “new” Quinlan Quail, but what have we seen from him that’s new? He got a new manager, some old blind guy who looks like that red panda from that popular children’s movie... I don’t remember what its called.
The bell rings and Stephanie charges at Quinlan and attempts a clothesline, but she just ends up on her butt.
BR: Did she really think a clothesline was going to work against Quinlan?
She uses the corner to stand up and Quinlan charges at her. SQUASH! OR WAS IT PUMPKIN?!
MH: Oh my god. I think she’s dead.
Quinlan moves out of the way and lets her fall to the floor. She doesn’t move. Quinlan places a foot on her, so as to not suffocate her with his bulk.
One...
Two...
THREE!
BR: Talk about a literal Squashing!
MH: We can only hope that Christine fairs better against this mammoth than Stephanie did. He might have just broken every bone in her body.

WINNER: QUINLAN QUAIL (#1 CONTENDER FOR TELEVISION TITLE)
BR: I expected a much different result tonight. No offense to big Quinlan but I expected Steph to find some cheap way to overcome the size advantage.
MH: If Steph can't handle some stiff competition then that is her problem.
BR: Up next we have what might be the match that steals the whole damn show.
MH: That's right, we have Jon Rocks vs Kincaid.
BR: Kincaid has been bullying Jon Rocks ever since he came back. He cost Jon the Hardcore title and has been a big thorn in his side ever since. He cost Jon his Intercontinental title match. Match after match, Kincaid gets in the way, attacks Jon during or after the matches. Brutal attacks back and forth. Tonight. One On One. Standard rules. Intercontinental title. Let's go.

JON ROCKS VS KINCAID(C)
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
"Not Gonna Die" by Skillet blasts over the sound system and the fans rise to their feed with a huge ovation. 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. He points to a few members of the crowd and he tells them he's doing this for them all. He then makes his way very quickly to the ring and slides in.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the AWS Intercontinental Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, weighing in at 225 pounds, from Sunshine City, California... JON ROCKS!!!
BR: And folks, this one is guaranteed to be a slobberknocker!
MH: Are you allowed to use that word? Isn't it copywritten or something?
BR: Jon finally gets what he wants. A fair, one on one shot for the Intercontinental title against his bully Kincaid.
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 sports the AWS Intercontinental title around his waist and 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: Introducing next, being accompanies by Alyssa, weighing in at 240 pounds, from Bearing, Alberta, Canada, he is the AWS Intercontinental Champion... KINCAID!!!
BR: Barnnburner? Lariat-fest? Brawl? Call it what you want but this one is going to be a damn fight!
MH: It's going to be one for the ages.
Kincaid and Jon get face to face in the middle of the ring. The two rest their heads on each others foreheads as they go toe to to jawing at each other. The referee tries to keep them apart as he explains the rules of the match to them.

BR: Kincaid is quick to get back to his feet here, and there's a collar-and-elbow tie up. Rocks forces Kincaid back in to the corner, and the referee is calling for a break. Rocks releases...thumb to the eye by Kincaid!
MH: The ref never saw it!
Rocks turns away as he holds his eye, chop block by Kincaid! Kincaid hits the ropes, knee drop to the chest by Kincaid! And Kincaid quickly pulls Rocks up to a seated position and applies a rear chinlock.
MH: Look at that skill, Buddy. And you doubted Kincaid's ability.
BR: I have to admit, I figured that Rocks would be the one with the advantage in the early going. I also have a bit of history with the man if you recall!
Rocks is getting back to his feet. He lifts Kincaid vertical... back suplex. Rocks quickly returns to his feet as does Kincaid. Rocks hits Kincaid with a hard right... another... another! He grabs Kincaid with a side headlock takeover. Kincaid quickly to his feet and he rushes in towards Jon who takes him back down with another side headlock takeover.

Rocks rebounds and Kincaid catches him with a dropkick! Rocks quickly returns to his feet...another dropkick by Kincaid...BLOCKED...and Rocks slams Kincaid back to the mat as he was ready for the second dropkick!

MH: They have good taste, Buddy! This is a good, classic match. Not straight brawling, not falls count anywhere, not put your opponent through a table. Simply a three count or a tap out to win this one!
BR: We might be on the verge of a tap out here! Rocks has the armbar locked in soundly in the center of the ring!
Kincaid screams in pain as the ref checks on him. He refuses to give up, but Rocks leans back to apply more pressure! Kincaid continues to scream in pain, but continues to refuse giving up! He tries to elevate the top half of his body...and he slumps back to the mat! He tries again, but slumps back to the mat!
BR: Kincaid isn't moving, Michael! I think he's out!
MH: No way!
The referee looks at Kincaid for a moment before grabbing his wrist and lifting his arm. The arm falls to the mat and the referee signals.

MH: Hold on, Kincaid! Hold... On!
The ref grabs Kincaid's wrist one more time and lifts his arm in the air. He releases the wrist.

MH: NO!!! Kincaid's arm didn't hit the mat!
BR: It looks like you're right, Michael! The ref is waving it off! But Kincaid is still in the Fujiwara arm bar!
Kincaid digs deep and he is trying to crawl to the ropes! He's nearly there! Just a little bit further...NO!!! Kincaid again drops to the mat and appears to be out! The ref checks on Kincaid. He grabs Kincaid by the wrist and lifts his arm in the air. The ref releases...
BR: Kincaid has a little bit of life left as he gives one final stretch toward the ropes! He reaches his arm out...fingertips on the rope...and he's finally able to grab it!
MH: YES! YES! YES!
BR: So much excitement, Michael!
MH: Damn right! Kincaid stays alive!
Rocks releases the hold as Kincaid is slumped across the bottom rope. He's trying to use the ropes to pull himself up, and here come Rocks. Kincaid with a boot to Rocks's knee, and Rocks drops to a knee!

Kincaid finally pulls himself up and takes a step forward toward Rocks. Rocks pops up...boot to Kincaid's gut! Rocks positions him.... EVERLASTING SUNSHINE!!!
MH: NO!!!
BR: Rocks hit the EVERLASTING SUNSHINE, but Kincaid is able to roll out of the ring!
MH: Look at how smart Kincaid is, Buddy!
BR: I'm not sure that rolling out of the ring was voluntary on his part. I think the impact forced him out of the ring!
MH: Either way, Rocks can't get a pin with Kincaid on the outside!
Rocks looks in disbelief. He quickly rolls out of the ring and picks up Kincaid. He rolls Kincaid in to the ring and quickly slides in, making the cover and hooking the leg.
One...
Two...
THREE-NO!
MH: NO!!! SHOULDER UP!! SHOULDER WAS UP!!!
BR: It appears that he did on a VERY close count!
MH: And the match continues! That was so close. Kincaid just kicked out the Everlasting Sunshine... rolling out of the ring bought him those extra few seconds he needed.
Rocks is on his feet and he quickly pulls Kincaid back up. Rocks positions him for the Canadian Destroyer called the Everlasting Sunshine one more time, but Kincaid drops Jon over to counter it!
MH: I don't think so! Kincaid isn't allowing that again!
Kincaid turns and kicks Jon directly in the side of the head. The crowd boos and Kincaid take pleasure in repeatedly stomping the injured knee of Jon. After several stomps to the knee, Kincaid flips Rocks over and locks in a half crab, focusing in on the injured knee of Jon. Rocks screams out in pain and the referee gets into position to ask Jon if he wants to give up.
BR: I don't ever see Jon Rocks giving up!
MH: He might not have a choice here! That leg has been through a lot tonight.
BR: And look at Kincaid stretching the ligaments in that knee to their breaking point!
Jon tries to elevate his upper body and crawl to the ropes.
BR: Come on, Jon!
Rocks reaches out and finally stretches far enough to grab the ropes. The crowd erupts in cheers and the ref yells at Kincaid to release to hold. Kincaid instead just wrenches the hold in even further.
BR: Come on, damnit! Let the hold go!
The referee begins the five count.

Kincaid stammers up as Jon uses the turnbuckle to climb to his feet. Both men charge one another and grab each others arms. Jon flips Kincaid around and takes him down by his arm... HARD PLACE!
BR: Hard Place! Hard Place! Hard Place!
MH: Kincaid is dead center in the ring!
Alyssa is on the outside cheering for Kincaid to get to the ropes, but Kincaid is dead center. Kincaid is flat on his back and holds his hand out ready to tap.
BR: This is it!
Kincaid somehow uses his momentum to flips his feet over head head and up into a crouching position... but Jon still has the armbar locked in! Kincaid uses his strength to get to his feet.
MH: Oh my god!
Kincaid takes two steps towards the ropes, but Jon pulls even harder and Kincaid slams back to the mat.... KINCAID TAPS OUT! The bell sounds.

MH: Are you allowed to use that word? Isn't it copywritten or something?
BR: Jon finally gets what he wants. A fair, one on one shot for the Intercontinental title against his bully Kincaid.
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 sports the AWS Intercontinental title around his waist and 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: Introducing next, being accompanies by Alyssa, weighing in at 240 pounds, from Bearing, Alberta, Canada, he is the AWS Intercontinental Champion... KINCAID!!!

Rocks turns away as he holds his eye, chop block by Kincaid! Kincaid hits the ropes, knee drop to the chest by Kincaid! And Kincaid quickly pulls Rocks up to a seated position and applies a rear chinlock.
MH: Look at that skill, Buddy. And you doubted Kincaid's ability.

Rocks is getting back to his feet. He lifts Kincaid vertical... back suplex. Rocks quickly returns to his feet as does Kincaid. Rocks hits Kincaid with a hard right... another... another!

Jon kicks his feet and tries to pull away but Kincaid has the leverage. The ref tries to break the hold up and he yells at Kincaid to do so.

The camera cuts to show General Manager Alistair Mason, dressed to compete, walking down the hall. He turns into his office, but sees that several modifications have been made. His desk has been turned over on it’s side, papers are strewn about the room, and the words “Alistair blows goats” have been spray painted on the wall. As he turns to leave, he literally runs into the man he believes the culprit; Matthias Barrows.
ALISTAIR MASON: You did this, didn’t you?
MATTHIAS BARROWS: Shut up. I don’t care what important things you have going on, but your job tonight is to just stand on the apron and take up space. This is my moment tonight and you’re not going to screw it up for me again.
Matthias then hoists up a bucket and dumps more bong water right on the General Manager’s head.
MATTHIAS: That’s just a taste. Screw me tonight, and I’m going to drown you in this shit.
Matthias leaves as Alistair sighs and starts looking for a towel.
BR: I understand Matthias' frustration, but soaking your boss, and only help in what is essentially a handicap match isn't the best thing to do I would think.

Locked and Loaded plays as the crowds boo. Then The Ninja comes out as the boos gets louder. Ninja walks along the ramp ignoring the crowds. He goes into the ring and climbs on the ropes and looks at the crowd and taunts at them. He gets off and starts to warm up for his match.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, representing the Wolfpack Nexus, weighing in at 225 pounds... THE NINJA!
BR: The Ninja has always been a serious threat, but in this tournament he has REALLY picked up his game. Win or lose, he should be proud and not ashamed.
MH: This is going to be a good match, but how much is left in the tank after their first matches?
The bell sounds as the two men circle one another. The two men lock up, but Velvet quickly converts it into a bear hug. Ninja screams in pain.
BR: The Ninja is in trouble early here.
The Ninja places both of his hands on the shoulders of Velvet and forces his way out and out. The Ninja places his legs around the head of Velvet and hits a big Hurricanrana!
MH: Good lord! Hurricanrana to the big man!
The Ninja goes for the cover... but before he can even hook the leg Black Velvet kicks out.
BR: I guess Velvet has some left in the tank... at least for now.
The Ninja walks over and hits a series of stiff kicks on Velvet sending him to the ground. The Ninja grabs Velvets leg and wraps him up in the SHARPSHOOTER!
MH: Sharpshooter! Sharpshooter early!
Black Velvet is able to shake Ninja loose, flip over and push him away into the ropes. The Ninja charges, but Velvet stays on the ground and Ninja leaps over him. Velvet hops up and Ninja hits a brick wall on the return. Black Velvet grabs Ninja by the neck and hits a choke bomb.
BR: Damn!
Black Velvet goes for the cover.
One...
KICKOUT!
The Ninja rolls away as both men get to their feet. The Ninja goes for a running dropkick but Velvet catches his feet and lets Ninja slam on his back. Black Velvet starts spinning!
MH: They call this the big swing!
BR: Round and round! I'm getting dizzy just watching it.
After a handful of rotations Black Velvet lets The Ninja go and the Ninja skids into the corner. Black Velvet is noticeably dizzy, but he charges and slams his rear end into The Ninja. Black Velvet pulls the Ninja out of the corner and hits a big Brainbuster suplex into a pin.
MH: Cover!
One...
Two...
KICKOUT!
Black Velvet hits a short arm lariat on Ninja to the floor and nails an immediate elbow drop to The Ninja. Black Velvet picks up Ninja with one hand and hits a scoop powerslam.
BR: I wish I was half as strong as Black Velvet.
Black Velvet jump up on the turnbuckle.
MH: He's either brave or a fool to try to go to the top rope after what happened with Conrad!
Black Velvet turns around and leaps. JUPITERSAULT!
BR: JUPITERSAULT moonsault!
Black Velvet crashes into Ninja and he just stays on top of him.
One...
Two....
THR-ROPE BREAK!
The Ninja was able to place his foot on the rope.
MH: Rope Break! I think Ninja could have kicked out of that if it weren't for the sheer weight of Velvet.
The Ninja rolls away from Velvet and hops to his feet. Black Velvet charges in but The Ninja hits a setp-up enzuigiri sending Velvet to the ground. Velvet is on all fours and Ninja comes flying in from the side and hits a dropkick to the side of the head of Velvet.
BR: Both of these men want to be Lord so bad. It's almost not fair that both men can't have the title.
Velvet tries to get up again but The Ninja grabs the back of the head of Velvet and hits a big running facebuster on Velvet. The Ninja backs into the corner and waits for Velvet to get up. Velvet gets up as Ninja runs to the side and bounces off the second rope. He flies towards Velvet and nails a CODEBREAKER.
The Ninja goes to go for a cover but Velvet rolls out of the ring onto the floor. The Ninja slams his hand against the mat.
MH: Smart move by Velvet to get out of the ring.
BR: The Ninja can't get frustrated here or it will cost him!
The Ninja bounces off the back rope and charges forward. He dives over the top rope! Black Velvet sees him straight on and nails Ninja with a PIMP SLAP!
MH: Pimp Slap!
BR: See?
The Ninja falls on the ground. Black Velvet picks up Ninja and tosses him back into the ring. Black Velvet rolls back into the ring and lifts the Ninja off the ground. The Ninja snaps into action and grabs Velvet's head... STUNNER!
MH: Stunner! Stunner out of nowhere!
The Ninja covers Velvet.
One...
Two...
THRE-NO! Kickout!
BR: That was three! Bygawd that was three!
MH: Two! Two!
Both men get up and meet in the middle of the ring. Black Velvet blocks a chop by Ninja and hoists him up... KING SIZE CRUSH!
BR: King Size Crush! This one is done!
Black Velvet almost covers The Ninja but doesn't.
MH: What's he doing?
Black Velvet picks up Ninja and hoists him up again... KING SIZE CRUSH!
BR: A second King Size Crush! He goes for the cover!

RING ANNOUNCER: Here is your winner via pinfall... BLACK MOTHERFUCKING VELVET!
WINNER: BLACK VELVET (2015 LORD OF ASCENSION)
(Click to enlarge.)
BR: Oh my god! We have it! We have the very first Lord Of Ascension! We have the Lord Of Ascension for 2015! It's Black Motherfucking Velvet!
MH: All hail King Velvet!
BR: It was a rough journey for all involved. The Ninja deserved to be here in the final round and bygawd he almost had it several times!
MH: That's what the AWS does and that's what the Lord Of Ascension tournament does. It makes everyone step up their game. The pressure and glory of the tournament caused Ninja to explode out of his boundaries and step up his game.
BR: The same can be said for Black Velvet! Black Velvet just simply WANTED it more. He tried so damn hard and now he is Lord. Lord Of Ascension!
Black Velvet is sitting on his knees with his eyes somewhat teary. The Ninja has rolled out of the ring and is headed towards the back. The Lord Of Ascension theme begins to play as Black Velvet gets up and heads up the ramp to the waiting staff. The crowd is mixed, booing the man known as Black Velvet but applauding and cheering the accomplishment and prestige of the tournament.
MH: This is amazing!
Black Velvet stand on the red velvet carpet and takes his place in front of the throne.
RING ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen... please rise and applaud for your 2015 LORD OF ASCENSION............ LORD VELVET!
The crowd erupts in a mixed reaction as two staff members adorn Lord Velvet with royal robe, crown and staff. Black Velvet takes his seat as confetti bursts from the ceiling and Black Velvet waves at the crowd.
BR: Lord Velvet will face off against the winner of tonight's main event at Danger Zone for the World Heavyweight championship!
MH: We've got to take a bit of a break so the crew can sweep the confetti out of the ring. Right now, let's watch a re-cap of LORD Velvet!
A lengthy video package is shown summarizing the AWS career of King Velvet including tonight's bouts. After several minutes we cut back to ringside.
BR: Welcome Back, folks. Now let's take you back to the Ascension two weeks ago. As we saw our first ever Television Champion Jason Drago was run over by a black four door sedan and was left out cold, unconscious and bleeding from his mouth. Let's take a look.
Our focus shifts to the big screen which shows the video from two weeks ago when Jason Drago was run over by a car with black windows before Geoffrey James could interview him
BR: That's just disturbing. Now Samuel Hyde is being suspected of driving that vehicle and--
MH: That is just BS! Samuel Hyde had no reason to run Drago over. Why would he do that?
BR: You couldn't be more wrong, Michael. Everyone saw Samuel Hyde talking to Stephanie Hawkins about finishing someone off and last week he entered into the arena in the same car with "Drago was here" written on it. Isn't that enough for you!? Now as we were informed last week, Jason Drago's wrestling career is pretty much over and he may not be able to wrestle ever again. Because of the severe internal injuries, his left leg has been paralysed. Tonight Mr. Badass adresses the AWS fans...
MH: This man had a bright future, Buddy.
Been to Hell by Hollywood Undead hits through the PA system. The crowd in the attendance rises to it's feet with not really responding to the music. This time, there is no darkness, there is no spotlight, and there is no fog. After a few seconds, Jason Drago comes out through the curtain holding crutches. He is wearing a pair of black jeans, a black t-shirt which is not clearly visible because of the leather jacket he is wearing over it. Following him is Apex Wrestling Syndicate's senior doctor, Dr. John Smith.
BR: Oh god....
Drago stops on the stage and looks at the crowd, and passes a smile. He then slowly makes his way towards the ring, walking with the help of crutches. He climbs up the steel steps and enters the ring as Dr. John Smith helps him. He stands in the middle of the ring as the sound of murmuring continues to come out from the crowd.
BR: We got ourselves a pretty vocal crowd tonight.
MH: Philadelphia is not the city of brotherly love, it's the city of goofs screaming their lungs out for no fucking reason! I just can't wait to get out of here!
BR: We are in Pittsburgh tonight.
MH: ....
Dr. John Smith hands Drago a microphone. He soaks all the emotion before bringing the mic closer to his mouth and goes to speak but a small 'Drago' chant causes him to stop. He raises an eyebrow and begins to speak.
JASON DRAGO: Well save that for the other heroes here. Ahem...... so, my name is Jason Drago and right now I'm here as I've been asked to give some kind of retirement speech. Yeah you heard it right a retirement speech because of a certain someone who thought an extra zero in their paycheck values more than a passionate wrestling career of 11 years.
BR: Shots fired!
MH: Settle down, old pal.
DRAGO: Because of a certain someone who thought that it would skyrocket their career if they stop a man from doing what he just loves to do. Because of a certain someone who thought that it would be the right thing to do. It would be the best thing to do. And it would be the only thing to do in order to stop the carnage that was going to spill. Because of a certain someone who ran me over with a car.
Drago brushes his hand in his hair.
DRAGO: Just........just two months ago, I made my return to Apex Wrestling after a hiatus because of a shoulder and knee injury. I wasn't even fully healed but I just came back because I can't stay away from all this. Fast forward to Relentless Pay Per View. I defeated Melvin Brown and settled the score and I kept swinging for the fences. Enter ThunderDome. I put everything on the line. I gave my best shot. I faught as if my life was depended on it and now......... now it seems like it was. It took three men, a glass sheet and a bag of salt to eliminate me and our glorious World champion got the victory handed to him on silver platter by one Rory Blaze.
Drago pauses for a moment as the crowd boos at the mention of Liam and Rory.
DRAGO: Now I don't know what offer did Liam give to Rory and I simply don't give a crap but this is exactly what happens in this industry. You put all your heart in your work, you bust your ass week after week and you're the first one to be eliminated. And you do absolutely nothing, sit in a corner, stay silent and all of a sudden all the spotlights are on you. You get screwed time after time and still get handed title shots after title shots after title shots. If you got screwed, it's your own damn fault because your opponent outplayed the hell out of you.
But you know I wasn't worried. I knew that this wasn't my first World title shot and this was damn sure not my last one. I knew that I would get one more chance at Liam and the World Championship because hey, I was screwed too! But instead what happens is I found myself in this tournament to determine the number one contender which is completely worthless in my opinion because two out of the three men fighting for the World championship tonight have lost in the tournament and the other one is not even a professional wrestler!
Drago points at the camera before continuing.
DRAGO: And that's exactly what I was going to tell Mr. Troy before a four wheeled phantom ran me over. But now, nothing matters. I don't know when I will be able to wrestle, hell I'm not even sure if I will compete inside this ring ever again but if I do, and this is to the 'certain someon', just hope that I'm never cleared to wrestle again or.... or just hide yourself in some alternate universe. Sure it has not been proved who you are but if I'm miraculously fully healed, I promise that I'll find you and I am going to keep stomping you untill you feel like being run over by a fucking truck! And you--- *Drago chokes on his words* you...Damn!
CROWD: Thank you Drago! *clap-clap-clap* Thank you Drago *clap-clap-clap*
MH: I'm not sure if I like this guy anymore. He's gone soft...
BR: The man's career is over, jerk.
DRAGO: Well, it looks like I have taken more time than I should have but yeah don't do that. Don't chant that because I am not going to thank you people back. You still don't matter to me.
MH: Hah!
CROWD: BOOOOOO!
DRAGO: Oh yeah, be the mindless sheep you guys have always been and fall for everything I say. Just keep one thing in mind................... Everything burns.
Time burns too.
With that, Drago drops the microphone and exits the ring with the help of Dr. John Smith as Been To Hell hits again. He stops at the ramp and looks at crowd which they respond positively to again. Drago just shakes his head and heads to the back.
BR: As much I find this man cocky and disrespectful, I have to admit that he is one hell of a wrestler. AWS management has already declared that that they'd be glad to sign this veteran again if he will be able to wrestle. And I really hope we see him performing in the ring again.
MH: And I hope you start to call the action spilling in the ring. It's main event time! We will be back after this short break. Don't touch that damned remote!
A video package plays summarizing the feud between Matthias & Liam as well as the involvement from Rory and the General Manager...
MH: All hail King Velvet!

MAIN EVENT
RORY BLAZE(C) & LIAM MCALLISTER(C)
VS MATTHIAS BARROWS & GM ALISTAIR MASON
TAG TEAM MATCH
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
"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. 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.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall... and is for the World Heavyweight championship! The individual person that cores the pinfall or submission will walk out the champion! Introducing first, hailing from Reno, Nevada, weighing in at 241 pounds... MATTHIAS BARROWS!
BR: Here comes Matthias. Once again the deck is stacked against him.
MH: He does a good job of stacking the deck against himself.
BR: I still believe he is a future World champion, whether or not that will happen tonight, well, we are about to find out.
"I've Got It All" by Jim Johnston hits causing the crowd to erupt in a rumble of boos and disapproval. We see a young handsome man step out onto the stage with a smug smirk on his face. He paces back and forth on the stage, looking out into the crowd. He steadily makes his way into the ring and the music fades...
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing his tag team partner. He is the General Manager of the Apex Wrestling Syndicate... please welcome Alistair Mason!
MH: This is the best tag team partner possible for Matthias!
BR: Yeah right. At best Alistair will be a non-factor making this a 2 on 1 handicap match. Worst case scenario this becomes a 3 on 1 handicap match.
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 their opponents, first, hailing from The Jersey Shore, weighing in at 236lbs, he is your Hardcore champion... RORY BLAZE!
BR: Here comes Rory! This man turned his back, destroyed Matthias, and walked out of the TunderDome match last month.
MH: If he's smart he will do his job and help Liam stay champion.
"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits blasts over the sound system and the crowd responds with an eruption of boos. After a few moments the song picks up and Liam McAllister steps out onto the ramp amid an array of pyrotechnics. Liam has the AWS World Heavyweight title around his waist, a pair of black with red trim trunks, black knee pads, red boots and black kick pads to complete his attire. The champ has his hair pulled back in tight knot and is sporting a black Apex t-shirt.
The champ takes a few steps towards the ring before he stops and points to the back as Kodiak Winters strolls out amid the boos. Winters walks alongside Liam as they stroll to the ring, dodging trash being thrown by the fans the whole way.
Liam slides into the ring, unhooks the AWS World Heavyweight title and hands it over to the ref.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing his partner, he is the AWS World Heavyweight champion, hailing from Manchester, England, weighing in at 205 pounds... LIAM McALLISTER!
BR: Here comes our World Heavyweight champion going on four months now.
MH: He will be our World champion for as long as he wants.
BR: I guess we will find out tonight. The person who scores the win in this match will face Black Velvet next month.
MH: This is a weird match. You can be on the winning team and not get the championship!
BR: That's right! For example if Rory Blaze pins Matthias Barrows... Liam & Rory win the match, but Rory wins the World Heavyweight title!
Matthias Barrows stands in the ring, and on the outside Rory Blaze, Liam McAllister, and the General Manager Alistair Mason look on gathered together in a bunch. Matthias turns to the referee and starts talking angrily at him, trying to start the match. The referee signals all three men to get into the ring. Liam and Rory slide in as the GM takes the stairs and enters.
BR: This is just disgusting. He’s blatantly showing that he’s on Liam and Rory’s side. He could at least attempt to act like he’s on Matthias’ side!
MH: Why? You hate it when people lie.
BR: I also don’t like it when people do underhanded and dastardly things like this!
MH: Did you… did you just honestly say dastardly?
The referee backs Matthias into a corner to allow the three to enter the ring. Liam and Rory begin to debate over who is wrestling first. Alistair walks right past Matthias and hops onto the outside of the ring. He smiles a big and confident grin at Matthias and grabs the tag-rope shaking it to emphasize his holding of it.
Liam and Rory decide that Rory will wrestle first and Liam hops to the outside. Matthias wastes no time and walks up to Rory and slaps him in the face as hard as he can, and then begins charging Rory and ramming him back into the corner. Rory falls into a sitting position in the corner and Matthias begins to wail away at him but from the outside Liam begins to hammer fists down on Matthias as well. Barrows moves to back up but Rory grabs his leg and he falls backwards. Rory quickly tags Liam in and Liam hops over the ropes and begins to stomp away at Matthias.
BR: Things looked promising in the beginning for Matthias there, but the tide has quickly turned.
Liam uses the ropes as leverage and stands on Matthias’ throat. After a few seconds of this he tags Rory back into the match. Rory hops over the ropes and begins to stomp away on Matthias. Matthias rolls to the outside to catch a breath. Liam hops off the ring apron and moves towards him, but Matthias takes him down with a vicious clothesline. He gets up and turns around into a running boot from Rory.
MH: Wow what a boot!
Rory helps Liam up and together they roll Matthias back into the ring. Matthias gets quickly to his feet and turns around and double clothesline them both. Rory falls to the ground as Liam falls to the ground and rolls out of the ring. The crowd is on their feet and cheering. Matthias grab Rory and lifts him to his feet and then places him on his shoulders!

Liam lifts Matthias to his feet by his hair, mouthing off at him the entire time. He moves behind Matthias and hits a German suplex.
BR: Liam and Rory are toying with Matthias. This is a damn three on one!
MH: Now now the General Manager has done nothing to show that he’s not on Matthias’ side.
BR: He broke up a pin that would have gotten Matthias the damn world championship!
MH: Only because he’s also fighting for it as well! That’s the man’s livelihood Buddy!
Liam picks Matthias up by the hair once again and Irish-whips him hard into their corner. Matthias brings his elbow up and knocks Rory off of the corner. He bounces off and clotheslines Liam to the ground.

THRE-Once again Alistair breaks up the pin! Matthias stands up and shoves the general manager roughly into the corner. Alistair smirks at Matthias from the corner. Matthias is blindsided from behind by Rory.
BR: Matthias is never going to be able to win with Alistair as his teammate.
Rory lifts Liam up and they go together to the corner where Liam tags Rory in. Rory stalks back over to Matthias and lifts him up and connects with a vicious backbreaker. As soon as he stands up he leaps into the air and brings his elbow down into Matthias’ sternum.
Rory walks over to Liam and tags him back in.
BR: There’s no way Matthias can win in these conditions. It would take a miracle!
MH: If Matthias is as good as he thinks he is, this should be no problem!
Liam picks Matthias up and immediately plants him with an inverted DDT. He picks him up once again and plants him once more with another DDT, this time a regular snap DDT.
BR: The World champion is toying with him. This match was meant as a message to Matthias and anyone else who wants to cross the world champion and the general manager. It’s a damn beat down disguised as a tag-match.

BR: I still believe he is a future World champion, whether or not that will happen tonight, well, we are about to find out.
"I've Got It All" by Jim Johnston hits causing the crowd to erupt in a rumble of boos and disapproval. We see a young handsome man step out onto the stage with a smug smirk on his face. He paces back and forth on the stage, looking out into the crowd. He steadily makes his way into the ring and the music fades...
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing his tag team partner. He is the General Manager of the Apex Wrestling Syndicate... please welcome Alistair Mason!
MH: This is the best tag team partner possible for Matthias!
BR: Yeah right. At best Alistair will be a non-factor making this a 2 on 1 handicap match. Worst case scenario this becomes a 3 on 1 handicap match.
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.

"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits blasts over the sound system and the crowd responds with an eruption of boos. After a few moments the song picks up and Liam McAllister steps out onto the ramp amid an array of pyrotechnics. Liam has the AWS World Heavyweight title around his waist, a pair of black with red trim trunks, black knee pads, red boots and black kick pads to complete his attire. The champ has his hair pulled back in tight knot and is sporting a black Apex t-shirt.
The champ takes a few steps towards the ring before he stops and points to the back as Kodiak Winters strolls out amid the boos. Winters walks alongside Liam as they stroll to the ring, dodging trash being thrown by the fans the whole way.
