KINNICK STADIUM - IOWA CITY, IOWA, USA
KINNICK STADIUM - IOWA CITY, IOWA, USA
The holiday theme music begins to play as the camera makes rapid pans across the roaring crowd! A series of red, white & green pyros go off above the ring, up the ramp and then around the stage and screen leaving a haze of white smoke. The holiday theme music fades as a new sound blasts through the arena...
BUDDY ROBERTS: Welcome everyone to the final show of 2014! Welcome... to HARDCORE HOLIDAY!
MICHAEL HEENAN: EVERY match on the card tonight is a non-standard match! It is going to be a brutal night!
BR: We've got it all tonight! An amazing ThunderDome match, the hotly contested Intercontinental title, a Tag title rematch and much, much more!
MH: We've been signing a ton of new talent recently and tonight two of those new talents will face off first, in a first blood match!
The scene cuts to the back of the arena where a car is arriving.
BR: Who do we have here?
MH: That looks like Matthias Barrows...
BR: It is! The AWS Television champion has arrived here at the Kinnick stadium and boy does he look focused!
MH: Focused on his boyfriend.
BR: That mountain of man beside Matthias is none other than Sean Merciless!
MH: Like I said, boyfriend.
BR: Like Kodiak and Liam?
MH: Speak of the devil...
As Matthias and Sean head towards the building, Liam McAllister and Kodiak Winters come from around the corner!!!!
BR: Liam trading rights and lefts with Matthias and Kodiak is occupying Merciless!!!
MH: Get him Liam! Get him Kodiak!
BR: Way to keep your objectivity, Heenan.
Liam blocks a Matthias Barrows right hook and SPOTLIGHT STRIKE to the jaw of Matthias. Kodiak boots Merciless in the gut and lifts him on his shoulders. Stacy is running in to check on Matthias. Kodiak spins Sean around BEAST MODE right on top of Matthias Barrows but Stacy gets clocked by Matthias' body on his way down!
BR: My god... this is out of control! He just lifted a man bigger than himself and that's saying a lot!
MH: This is payback!
Liam and Kodiak begin to lay the boots into Matthias and Merciless until security reaches the brawl and breaks it up.
BR: Thank god AWS has top notch security! Liam just tried to take out Matthias before the ThunderDome!

THOMAS B.B. GUNN VS MYCROFT ALISTAIR CHARLESWORTHY
FIRST BLOOD DEBUTS MATCH
The music hits as Thomas comes out on the ramp. A big flag appears on the big screen, Thomas turns to face it and salutes. Then turns back to the ring and walks down the ramp giving attendees high fives when they reach their hands out.
RING ANNOUNCER: This match is a first blood debuts match! The first man to bleed will lose the match. Introducing first, making his AWS debut, from Reno, Nevada, weighing in at 250 pounds... THOMAS B.B. GUNN!
BR: This young man is one of the many hot new prospects in the AWS. He is a rookie and the son of a man that Black Adonis knew. He has a big chance to make a big impact tonight.
A horse drawn carriage enters the arena, Lemmings, Mycroft's butler, steps off of the riding area and opens the door, and Mycroft makes his way out of it to the boos of the audience. He smirks at them, knowing he is better. He walks to the ring with an air of pomp and circumstance about him.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, also making his AWS debut, hailing from London, England, weighing in at 250 pounds... MYCROFT ALISTAIR CHARLESWORTHY
MH: This man gives me a good feeling. We need more classy folks here in the AWS.
BR: More like stuck up jerks. But he has a big chance tonight. Mycroft is nearly a ten year veteran and is looking to make an impact here at the top of the industry.
The bell rings and the match is underway. Gunn starts with a hard right hand. He goes for another, but Mycroft ducks and connects with a Russian leg sweep and quickly follows up with an elbow drop. He then locks Thomas in a headlock. Gunn struggles to get to his feet, bounces MAC off the ropes, and kicks him on the rebound, quickly connecting with a snap suplex.
BR: Charlesworthy is down, and it looks like Gunn is ready to bring out the hardware.
MH: He’s looking under the ring for something.
Gunn pulls out a chair and throws it into the ring. Charlesworthy gets to his feet and kicks it out of Gunn’s hand as he reaches for it, thrusts his knee into his chest, whips him into the ropes and connects with a clothesline.
BR: And now it’s Charlesworthy with the advantage.
MH: And now he’s got the chair. I say, good show!
BR: And you call me a suck-up. You’re not British!
Mycroft waits for Gunn to get to his feet and smacks him right in the face with the chair! The referee is quick to check the downed Thomas, but he says “No!”
BR: No blood, the match will continue.
MH: It’s all right, don’t let up, pip-pip, cheerio, and all that my good sir.
MAC waits for Gunn to get to his feet again. He swings, but Gunn ducks, kicks Charlesworthy in the gut, positions the dropped chair, and drills him with a DDT right on it!
BR: The referee, taking a look.
MH: Is my good man bleeding?
The referee checks, but again says “No!” Thomas gets to his feet and begins to pull MAC up with him. Where Mycroft quickly counters and drops Thomas with a DDT of his own, again right on the chair.
MH: I say, turnabout IS fair play. Good show!
BR: Would you knock it off!?
Charlesworthy picks Gunn up and drops him with the CASH OUT! With Gunn down, Charlesworthy goes over to the turnbuckle and starts removing the padding.
MH: It’s not looking good for B.B. Gunn in there.
MAC struggles with the padding for a moment, and as he finally exposes it, Gunn gets to his feet and connects with the SHOTGUNN!! Charlesworthy goes face first into the exposed turnbuckle, and the blood begins flowing from the center of his forehead, trickling down the bridge of his nose! The referee calls for the bell!
BR: And Thomas Gunn steals the win on Charlesworthy’s distraction!
RING ANNOUNCER: Here is your winner via first blood... THOMAS B.B. GUNN!

BEARDMAN VS JOHNNY ANOMALY VS QUINLAN QUAIL
STAR ON THE TREE MATCH
Beardman's music hits to massive heat and he shows up on stage about 10-15 seconds later, slowly walking to center stage to stop and calmy taunt while gold fireworks flood the stage from top to bottom. He continues to the ring occasionally taunting fans. He steps into the ring and flexes his right bicep arrogantly and points at it to the dismay of the fans.
RING ANNOUNCER: This contest is a Triple Threat Star On The Tree match! The first competitor to place the star on the top of the tree will be declared the winner. Introducing first; from Indianapolis, Indiana, weighing in at 255 pounds... BEARDMAN!
BR: Not exactly a warm reception for Beardman here.
MH: What is wrong with these people? Beardman has already proven himself by taking out EZ-Punk. All of this is just gravy, he's already proven all he has to prove.
Johnny Anomaly comes out onto the stage and once the singing starts, he heads down to the ring and starts to taunt and yell at the fans, mocking them and making fun of them. Once he gets to the ring, he singles out one fan and begins to get in said fans face and make fun of them. After he’s had his fill, he slides into the ring and sits on one of the top turnbuckles with a smirk.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next. From Providence, Rhode Island, weighing in at 225 pounds, representing The Anarchy... JOHNNY ANOMALY!
BR: It’s a big night for the Anarchy, and Johnny Anomaly can get some momentum on their side with a win here.
MH: A win would give a shot in the arm to his buddies, Black Adonis.
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: And introducing third, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing in at 1,000 pounds, QUINLAN QUAIL!
BR: Now this man seems like a man who loves the holidays!
MH: Looks more like a man who loves holiday treats!
The match starts and the bell rings, and Beardman and Johnny team up against the larger competitor, throwing firsts into Quinlan’s upper body. He stumbles backward and falls back, getting his arms tied up in the ropes!
BR: Quinlan in trouble early!
MH: That may all but eliminate Quinlan if he can’t get out of those ropes.
As Quinlan struggles to free himself, Johnny turns on Beardman and drops him with an inverted DDT before rolling out of the ring and grabbing the star. Rolling back into the ring, Beardman gets up and stomps on him as he rolls in. Johnny pushes him away, and caches him with a shining wizard!
BR: Johnny Anomaly looking dominant so far.
Finally, Quinlan frees himself, but Johnny is quick to notice and dives into the big man’s chest, taking both of them over the top rope and out of the ring! Beardman grabs the dropped star and begins to scale the top turnbuckle, but Johnny rolls back into the ring, pulls Beardman down, and drops him with CORRUPTED!
MH: And Beardman is down after that one!
BR: But what is Johnny doing now?
Johnny rolls out of the ring just as Quinlan rolls in, where Johnny pushes the tree over on top of both of his opponents, pinning them underneath!
BR: And now Beardman and Quinlan are trapped underneath the tree!
MH: What a brilliant move by Johnny!
As Beardman and Quinlan try to free themselves, Johnny grabs the star and places it on the “top” of the downed tree. The referee calls for the bell!
BR: Momentum for the anarchy after a dominating performance!
RING ANNOUNCER: Here is your winner... JOHNNY ANOMALY!

WINNER: JOHNNY ANOMALY
MH: What a dominant display!
As Beardman throws a fit in the ring, The Tech N9ne Experience begins playing throughout the arena.
MH: Uh oh.
BR: You might want to think about a retreat, Beardman.
Matthias Barrows walks through the curtain with Sean Merciless in tow. Matthias has a scab forming on his lip, and both of them are holding their ribs. However, in Matthias’ other hand is a microphone.
MATTHIAS BARROWS: I have something to say, so I suggest you get out of my ring.
Matthias continues walking down the ramp, but Beardman stands his ground.
MATTHIAS: I’m not joking. If I wanted a joke, I’d ask you where your beard was. This is your last warning. Get out of my ring.
Matthias gets to the bottom of the ramp and stares down Beardman, but still, he refuses to move.
MATTHIAS: You know, I really don’t have time for this crap. Liam McAllister jumps me in the parking lot, my wife twists her ankle in the scuffle, and I have THAT to prepare for.
Matthias points up at the ThunderDome looming above.
MATTHIAS: Merciless, nuke his ass!
Sean Merciless hops up onto the apron. Beardman throws his fists into him to stall him, until he’s taken down when Matthias blasts him with the Television Title! As Matthias positions the title in the center of the ring, Merciless enters and picks Beardman up before gorilla pressing him. MUSHROOM CLOUD on the Television Title!
BR: My god, Matthias has developed a hell of a mean streak as of late.
MH: You can say that again. What did Beardman do to him?
MATTHIAS: Let this be a message to the Apex Roster. This is what will happen to each and every one of you if Liam McAllister leaves this building as the AWS World Heavyweight Champion! But don’t worry, I’m about to increase the odds of that happening right now. What do you say, Sean; should we repay the favor and get Merciless on him early?
Sean Merciless nods in approval as the fans begin to cheer!
MATTHIAS: You know what? I think that sounds like a hell of an idea!
Matthias drops the microphone and the two of them head up the ramp.
MH: Look out, Liam! Kamikaze at twelve o’clock!
BR: Matthias may take out Liam early if he finds him!
The camera cuts to the back where we see all the members of the Wolfpack Nexus in their locker rooms.
DANTE CULLEN: I can't wait to slaughter them.
DAMIEN CULLEN: Same here my little brother. We will show the Steel Foundation who we really are.
THE NINJA: Listen I really don't give a fuck about the Tag Team champion so I got a plan for you two.
Melvin Brown is shown nodding yes to Ninja's comments.
DANTE: A plan? Please tell us the plan!!
NINJA: Alright here's the plan...
The camera fades to a video package is shown recapping the feud between Nathan Gibbs and Rocky Hollywood while the crew assemble the cage for the next match.

After all of the men are in the ring the referee shuts the cage door and locks it. The bell sounds.

The Brothers From Hell both start to climb the same side of the ring to escape!
BR: They're making a run for it!
The Ninja starts to laugh as as Kyle & Steele dart over and try to grab a hold of the Brothers From Hell. Before they can pull them down Ninja and Melvin rush over and start attacking the Steel Foundation.
MH: We're in a brawl already!
Steele pushes Melvin away and tries to go at Ninja, but Melvin charges... SPEAR! No! No! Steele dives out of the way and Melvin spears the cage. The cage rattles causing Damien & Dante to fall on the others knocking everyone down!
BR: The Spear hits the cage knocking off the Brothers From Hell!
MH: Everyone's down!

Kyle starts to break loose but Ninja kicks Kyle in the balls.
MH: Low blow but legal!
Melvin regains his hold on Kyle as Kyle kicks wildly. The Ninja catches his legs and wraps his arms around his legs. Both men are holding Kyle in place like a battering ram! The Brothers From Hell are casually climbing out of the ring!

BR: I'm very interested to see what happens in this match. I would have thought that the Wolfpack Nexus would have torn each other apart for the tag titles but we will see.
MH: Either way the winner will get a shot soon. Maybe at the next Pay Per View but it could be before then.
After all of the men are in the ring the referee shuts the cage door and locks it. The bell sounds.
MH: Here we go!
The Brothers From Hell both start to climb the same side of the ring to escape!
BR: They're making a run for it!
The Ninja starts to laugh as as Kyle & Steele dart over and try to grab a hold of the Brothers From Hell. Before they can pull them down Ninja and Melvin rush over and start attacking the Steel Foundation.
MH: We're in a brawl already!
Steele pushes Melvin away and tries to go at Ninja, but Melvin charges... SPEAR! No! No! Steele dives out of the way and Melvin spears the cage. The cage rattles causing Damien & Dante to fall on the others knocking everyone down!
BR: The Spear hits the cage knocking off the Brothers From Hell!
MH: Everyone's down!
Kyle is up and he helps Steele up. Both men start to climb as Ninja is up on his feet. Dante is up as well. The Ninja rushes over and pulls down Kyle and Dante pulls down Steele.
BR: No! The Wolfpack appear to be working together!
Steele hits a double clothesline on the Brothers From Hell. Melvin charges but Steele hits a LIVER SHOT! Melvin goes down!
MH: Looks like someone's been playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!
The Ninja whips Steele around and kicks him in the gut and goes for a STUNNER! NO! Steele catches him and spins him around. LAST CALL! Inverted DDT by Steele!
BR: Steele is on fire!
Steele nudges Kyle to get off his feet. Steele is climbing the cage. Once about halfway up Kyle starts to climb!
MH: Steele is almost out!
BR: Remember that BOTH members need to escape to win!
Kyle is halfway up as Steele touches the ground on the outside!
MH: Steele has escaped! They are 50% of the way to winning this match!
Kyle is climbing but Damien is up! Damien climbs and grabs the leg of Kyle. Damien continues to climb. Damien grabs Kyle around the waist... German suplex from near the top of the cage! Both men crash down!
BR: My god! My god!
MH: Kyle could be in big trouble here!
Melvin Brown is up. He helps Damien to his feet. The four members of the Wolfpack Nexus look at each other and nod.
BR: Here we go!
Melvin Brown lifts Kyle and holds him in place while The Ninja chops the shit out of him!
MH: Ouch!
The Ninja demands that the Brothers From Hell climb out of the ring!
BR: The Ninja just told the Brothers From Hell to leave! Was this his plan!?
Kyle starts to break loose but Ninja kicks Kyle in the balls.
MH: Low blow but legal!
Melvin regains his hold on Kyle as Kyle kicks wildly. The Ninja catches his legs and wraps his arms around his legs. Both men are holding Kyle in place like a battering ram! The Brothers From Hell are casually climbing out of the ring!
BR: Oh come on! Ninja and Brown are just handing the win to the Brothers From Hell!
MH: Look at Tommy. He loves it!
Both members of the Brothers From Hell climb down the outside of the cage and both men jump down in unison. The bell sounds.
RING ANNOUNCER: Here are your winners and NEW #1 contenders for the Tag Team championships... THE BROTHERS FROM HELL!
WINNERS: BROTHERS FROM HELL (#1 CONTENDER FOR TAG TITLES)
MH: They changed their attitude and picked up their game and it paid off big time to the new #1 contenders!
BR: With a little help from the other half of the Wolfpack Nexus mind you!
The camera cuts to backstage. The scene is set within the same place that all life has crept from, and all life will return. That place which we spend six months transforming, molding into something able to survive the harshness of our cold, cold world: The Darkness. Darkness laces the large room the camera finds itself in, cloaking most features without entirely blinding the viewer. A form sits alone in this large room. He is wearing a gray button-up shirt with a black tie and vest over it, sleeves rolled up. Tortured jeans covers crossed legs, the knee ripped in the right leg covers the lower-body, and black dress shoes shines up bright allowing anyone to look into the abyss…….. and see their face looking back.
BR: What.....in the..
MH: Sssshhh!
Drago shifts in the chair to his right, leaning in on his elbow which he bent up, his fingertips sliding against each other in a state of trance as he stares blankly ahead.
JASON DRAGO: Tonight's the night. It all happens tonight. Every single minute I have spent here in AWS, seems I've been locked in this epic battle against you... champ. To see who exactly the better man is. And tonight's we're going to find out.
Because you see, in the past, you showed me a lot of things. You showed me exactly what you are in this life. And one of those things, to put it very bluntly Liam, is a great wrestler. Except tonight, you can be the best wrestler in the world and it's not going to save you. Because this is not a wrestling match. Week in and week out for months, you've been taking the skin off everyone's back.
You've been opening everyone up. And you've been whipping all of them like some kind of an animal. And tonight you can't get away, you can't run. You can't hide. And you can outwrestle me all you want. You can pin me a dozen times and it won't matter because I am going to be attached to you by your granddad's leather strap. And you're not going to get away. And for every time you whipped me like some piece of garbage, I'm going to get you back 10 fold.
Drago shakes his head...
DRAGO: So when you wake up in the morning, you have someone else drive you to whatever hospital you have to go to because you're not going to be able to sit up right in a car. When you turn that shower on tonight or tomorrow morning and you feel that water hit your back something you're normally used to, and it's going to feel like fire. It's going to feel like someone pouring salt on every single wound. And I'm not going to stop. I'm going to keep whipping you. And then I'm going to whip you some more. Then I'm really going to whip you. Then I'm going to hurt you. And I'm going to make you pay. And then when I'm done doing that, I'm going to take something what's so precious to you.
Drago stands up heads towards the camera with slow steps.
DRAGO: I'm going to take that AWS Title. And the sweetest part of the deal Liam is that it's all going to be done by these hands. These two hands that belong to the person that hates you most in this life. You don't have what it takes to stand in front of me. You cannot stop my legacy. You don't have the fire inside that I have. And at the end of the night, when you're in a heap of your own blood and your entire back looks like raw hamburger, it's all going to be done by these two hands. Me! Jason Drago. The new Apex Wrestling Syndicate Heavyweight Champion of the World!
Drago keep staring at us as we fade to black.
BR: Some strong words by Drago right there.
MH: Yeah, it will be interesting to see if he can back it up though. I can't wait for the main event!
BR: With a little help from the other half of the Wolfpack Nexus mind you!

NATHAN GIBBS VS ROCKY HOLLYWOOD
BACKSTAGE BRAWL
MH: This next match is one that I've been looking forward to all week. Rocky Hollywood and Nathan Gibbs has been one of the hottest feuds in the AWS in 2014.
BR: That's right... Nathan Gibbs defeated Rocky Hollywood and Fenris O'Conner in a Triple Threat match back on the November 19th edition of Ascension which is what started all of this.
MH: Rocky got his revenge in a one on one contest back at Relentless.
BR: But that wasn't enough for the multi billionaire. The two squared off on the first Ascension of December and once again Rocky came out the victor.
MH: And that still couldn't satisfy these two. Nathan had enough and cost Rocky Hollywood his shot at the Hardcore title, but Rocky followed that up by costing Nathan his shot in the ThunderDome here tonight.
BR: This one is going to be a Backstage Brawl where anything goes and falls count anywhere in this one.
MH: There's not telling where this thing is going to end up.
RING ANNOUNCER: The following contest is a Backstage Brawl, and falls WILL count anywhere! Introducing first, hailing from St. Petersburg, Florida, weighing in at 225 pounds, NATHAN GIBBS!!!
The crowd cheers.
RING ANNOUNCER: And his opponent, hailing from Hollywood, California, weighing in at 262 pounds, ROCKY HOLLYWOOD!!!
The crowd boos.
MH: Where are they?
BR: I'm being told this thing has already started backstage!!
The camera cuts backstage where just behind the curtain Rocky Hollywood and Nathan Gibbs are trading rights and lefts. Neither man is able to get a clear advantage and both men are letting their aggression out on each other. Nathan ducks under a right hand and DDTs Rocky right on the platform area known as the "gorilla position". Rocky rolls backwards and falls right down the flight up steps that led up to the platform they were on.
BR: Oh my god! Rocky may already be down and out!
MH: Nathan Gibbs has shown an aggressive side here lately and he's going to need to lean on in this business!
BR: Especially in a match like this...
Rocky makes it back to his feet and Nathan leaps off the steps with a flying clothesline!!! Nathan holds his arm as he took a hard fall as well on the concrete floor. He struggles but is able to hook Rocky's leg for the cover. A referee comes sprinting backstage and gets into position for the count.
ONE!!!
KICKOUT!!!!
Nathan still holding his arm helps Rocky back to his feet, but Rocky struggles. With Rocky Hollywood on one knee he reaches up and low blows Nathan, bringing Nathan to his knees. Rocky rears back and connects with a solid right punch to the jaw of Gibbs. Rocky rolls over and covers Nathan.
ONE!!!!!
NO!!!
BR: Kick out by Nathan! This one has been fast and furious so far!
MH: I don't think you can say fast and furious. Pretty sure that's copyrighted by somebody else...
BR: Rocky picks up Nathan and he adds a few more punches to the face of Gibbs. Nathan stumbles backwards down the long hallway leading to the main backstage area now...
Nathan stumbles backwards and Rocky runs towards him and hits a clothesline on Nathan. Nathan falls back onto a palette of wood that rested backstage. Rocky wastes no time and drops and elbow to the heart of Nathan as he rests on top of the palette. Hollywood picks up his rival and lifts him up high for a vertical suplex onto the palette, but Nathan wiggles free and falls behind Rocky... Inverted DDT on the concrete floor!!!!
BR: There's no way that Rocky doesn't have a concussion after that.
MH: And Gibbs being smart here and gathering himself.
Nathan takes a moment to gather his self before picking Rocky back up from the floor. Nathan with a knife edged chop across the chest of Rocky that lights his chest up beat red. Rocky fires back a right to Nathan, Nathan fires back another chop to the chest, and Rocky with another right hand. Nathan reaches back and lays into Rocky with one more knife edged chop!
BR: Rocky Hollywood's chest is as red as Rudolph's nose!
MH: Or Santa's ass!
BR: Nathan grabs Rocky and whips him into the wall and by god he just put a dent in the sheetrock!
MH: That's the new fathead... AWS style.
Rocky stumbles further down the hallway and Nathan gives chase. Nathan picks up Rocky on his shoulders.
BR: Looks like he's going for a Fireman's carry drop of some sort here.
MH: Rocky fights free and he's directly behind Nathan now.
Hollywood locks his arms around the waist of Gibbs and tosses him with a German suplex....
BR: HE JUST GERMAN SUPLEXED NATHAN THROUGH THE DAMN WALL!!!!
The sheetrock wall falls apart as Nathan goes flying into a locker room. Luckily the room was empty and Rocky springs into action to cover Nathan.
ONE...
TWO....
KICKOUT!!!
BR: How did he kick out of that? He just got thrown through a wall for god's sake! That should have been it! What resiliency!
MH: Or stupidity!
BR: And Rocky can't believe it! He's furious at the referee but the ref is letting him know that it was close, but it was only a two count.
Rocky turns his attention back to Nathan and grabs a chair that was knocked over in the debris. Rocky picks the chair up and...
THWACK!
BR: Oh! And Rocky with a chair shot that rocks Nathan backwards. Nathan rolls over on his stomach and Rocky with another chair shot, this time to the back of Nathan. Rocky swings back and again hits the spine of Nathan with the chair! A little payback from those chair shots a few weeks back by Nathan no doubt.
MH: That's steel if you're wondering at home, folks. Do NOT try this!
Rocky tosses the chair away in disgust after three straight chair shots. Rocky grabs the back of the neck and drags him across the debris out of the torn apart locker room.
MH: I hope that was Jon Rocks locker room.
BR: You would!
Rocky walks Nathan down the corridor towards the back of the building. Rocky grabs Nathan's head and goes to slam it into the door that leads to outside of the arena, but Nathan blocks it! Nathan grabs the back of Rocky's head and slams his head into the door instead. Rocky grabs his face in pain and Nathan grabs him and hits SLEEPING THUNDER!!!
BR: He hit it! He hit it!! That's it!!
MH: But he looks like he's unable to make the cover.
BR: Still feeling getting thrown through a wall no doubt!
Nathan struggles to crawl over to Rocky and make the cover. He literally crawls over to Rocky and drapes one arm over his torso and the ref makes the count.
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THR.. NO!!!
BR: Rocky barely kicks out! No doubt the extra time that it took for Nathan to cover was the difference.
Both men lay exhausted on the concrete floor as they tried to catch their second winds. Both men struggle and lean on each other as they make their way to their feet. Rocky hits a European uppercut that rocks Nathan back. Nathan returns the favor with a vicious chop across the chest of Rocky. Rocky with another uppercut that rocks Nathan, and Nathan with another chop!
BR: These two hated rivals are trading blows here and this thing has been hardcore from the start.
MH: This isn't so much a wrestling match as it is just a fight!
Nathan goes for another knife edged chop and lands it. Rocky Hollywood stumbles backwards towards the exit door and Nathan runs in, but Rocky sticks his boot up and Nathan runs right into it! Big boot by Rocky! Rocky picks up Nathan and tosses him towards the door with such impact that Nathan spills outside!!
BR: It's freezing out there! It's about 18 degrees out there and it feels about like 5 degrees!
MH: Fahrenheit for our more cultured international viewers that use measuring systems that make sense.
The door closes behind Nathan when he goes flying outside. Rocky wastes little time and busts through the door, but he is met with a dropkick from Nathan! Rocky falls backwards into a puddle of water. Nathan runs towards Rocky and knocks him back down with a flying high knee!! Nathan covers.
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
KICKOUT!!!
BR: And Nathan can't believe it! He thought he had it there.
MH: Gibbs lifts up Rocky and thumb poke to the eye by Rocky Hollywood!! What a smart move!
BR: Or cheap!
MH: There's no rules in this match, Buddy!
Rocky stands up and uppercuts Nathan backwards towards the parking lot. Nathan stumbles backwards towards one of the cars and Rocky stalks him down. You can see their breath in the cold air each time one of the superstars exhale. Rocky picks up Nathan and lifts him high in the air for a vertical suplex onto the hood of a car!!!
MH: Hey...
BR: Isn't that YOUR car Michael?
MH: Son of a...
BR: This is indeed a Happy New Year!!
Nathan lays on top of the car and Rocky climbs on the hood with him. Rocky has his back to the front windshield and picks up Nathan, putting his head between his legs in preparation for the POVERTY CALL! NO! BACK BODY DROP THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD!!! Rocky goes right through the windshield and Nathan rolls off to the ground!
MH: My lambo! My poor baby! I can't believe this!!!!
BR: And Rocky Hollywood looks like he is cut wide open! How could he not be after that?
MH: Oh god, that's Italian leather... it's ruined... it's ruined!
The crowd from inside the arena who has been watching on the big screen starts a HOLY SHIT! chant
Nathan pulls himself up using Michael Heenan's car and opens the drivers door, pulling out Rocky Hollywood into the parking lot. Nathan falls down on top of Rocky and makes the cover.
ONE!!!!
TWO!!!
THRE... NO!!!!!
BR: A bloodied Rocky Hollywood kicked out!! How?
MH: My car...
BR: Get back into this match, Heenan! You're a professional, damnit!
Nathan Gibbs takes a few seconds to shake off the fact that he thought he had Rocky beat there. Nathan gets up and grabs the bloodied Rocky Hollywood and leads him over to a SUV and tosses him into the side. Rocky hits the side and dents it before falling to the ground. Nathan walks over to Rocky to pick him and Rocky again with a low blow to Nathan.
BR: Rocky is pulling out every dirty trick in the book to win this one.
MH: I'll be back... I've got to go check on my car.
Heenan gets up to go check on his car as Rocky grabs Nathan and tosses him on the hood of the SUV. Rocky then pulls him to the very top of the SUV. Rocky again climbs up and he again positions Nathan for the POVERTY CALL!!!
BR: Rocky hit it this time on the top of the SUV!!! The referee has to climb all the way to the top for the count.
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!

ELIMINATION TABLES MATCH
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
RING ANNOUNCER: The following contest is an Elimination Tables match, and it is for the AWS Tag Team Championship!!! The winner will be the first team that eliminates both members of the other team by putting them through a table.
Black Adonis music hits and Black Velvet comes out to the ramp with a woman on each arm. When he gets to the ramp, the women leave, before they do, they do splits and point at the entrance. Jake struts out in a pair of sunglasses, and makes his JA symbol with his hands while Black Velvet throws up a fist. Purple pyro goes off behind them, and they walk to the ring together.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing the challengers, representing The Anarchy, weighing in at a combined weight of 695 pounds, Black Velvet & Jake Adonis... BLACK ADONIS!!!
BR: Here come the challengers! Both of these men will be in the World title ThunderDome match later tonight!
The lights dim to almost complete darkness before “Personal Jesus” by Marilyn Manson blasts over the sound system bringing the crowd to their feet with a loud pop. Two lone spotlights appear on the entrance ramp and they reveal the AWS Tag Team Champions, Conrad Black and his wife Erica Rose. Erica Rose steps through the curtain and raises her arms up either side of her with the Tag Team title proudly around her waist. Conrad meanwhile runs from left to right at the top of the aisle, pointing at fans that are cheering for him and holding Black Rose signs.
BR: The energy here is electric!!!
MH: These fans can’t wait to see these two teams go at it again!
BR: Truer words have never been spoken. These teams have been the center of the tag team division ever since the day that Mr. Troy announced the tag team tournament to crown the first ever champions!
MH: And Black Adonis doesn’t seem to be able to wait either! They’re charging up the aisle towards the team of Black Rose!
BR: Good lord the bell hasn’t even sounded yet!
Before the Ring Announcer can announce them Black Rose sprint up the entrance ramp and begin trading furious blows with Black Adonis. The fight makes its way back to ringside and Conrad throws Adonis into the guardrail while Erica decks Black Velvet from behind with the Tag Team title. Adonis scurries up the aisle with Conrad in hot pursuit… Adonis running around the ring for dear life and he trips! He trips and Conrad now stalking over him! He lunges in for him but Adonis catches him with a drop toe hold out of nowhere and Conrad’s face smacks into the ring post! Meanwhile, Erica is stomping a hole through Black Velvet’s chest! She sees Adonis in control and runs over to him, and she nails Adonis from behind with the Tag Team title as well!
BR: The Tag Team title should be registered as a lethal weapon and Erica and Conrad have got the jump on Black Velvet and Adonis!
MH: Ahhh! Come on, someone stop these guys, the match hasn’t even started yet!
Erica pulls a table out from under the ring, much to the delight of the fans, and sets it up on the outside. Black Velvet has made his way back to the ring and he grabs Conrad from behind…and shoves him into Erica! Erica and Conrad collide heads.
MH: Meeting of the minds!
Black Velvet sees Erica’s table and raises her another, pulling out a table from under the ring and stacking it on top of the other. He throws Erica into the ring… meanwhile Adonis scoops Conrad up… and slams him on the concrete floor! Black Velvet whips Erica to the ropes… SPEAR! Big spear and Erica’s eyes are glazed over from the devastating body shot!
BR: That was nearly 500 pounds tackling her! This is chaos! Referee, get a hold of this thing!
Adonis pulling the padding off the concrete floor and taunting the crowd…back in the ring Black Velvet pulls Erica up… and he has her up for a chokeslam! No! Erica with a thumb to the eyes and Black Velvet lets go of her.
BR: My God this is chaos! Has the bell even rang yet?
On the outside, Adonis has Conrad up for a piledriver on the unprotected concrete floor! Conrad is about to be put out of commission!

Conrad drops to the floor and has no idea what happened but Erica quickly back in the ring... Black Velvet to the outside and he’s grabbing a steel chair! Erica screaming at him to bring everything he’s got back to the ring... Conrad throws Adonis into the ring and Adonis immediately to his feet and tackles Erica from behind! Black Velvet quickly into the ring with the chair… he rears back to hit Erica with it but Conrad grabs it from behind and nails Black Velvet in the back! Black Velvet drops to his knees… Adonis charges at Conrad and tackles him… Conrad drops the chair and Adonis throwing wild punches at him!
BR: Conrad picks up Adonis and BLACK OUT!!!
MH: What an idiot… there’s no pinfalls in this match, and the bell hasn’t even sounded!
Adonis rolls under the bottom rope to collect himself on the outside. Conrad stares at Jake a bit too long and as he turns around, he’s met with a violent clothesline from Black Velvet that takes him off his feet.
MH: Finally, the bell sounds and I believe we are officially underway!
BR: Black Velvet scoops up Conrad from the mat and a collar and elbow tie-up on Conrad Black... Velvet switching to a front facelock, and a take down! Velvet is in full control of this match!
Black Velvet has gotten Conrad back to his feet now, hooks the arm, swift snap suplex!
MH: Velvet is getting up, I wonder what he’s going to do...
Black Velvet sprints across the canvas and jumps, a nasty dropkick targeted towards Erica Rose.
MH: Dropkick! Oh, man, Erica just flew to the matting below! I love the dirty, unnecessary tactic!
BR: That’s Michael Heenan for you, folks. Even though that was a dirty tactic, Velvet showed off his impressive athleticism for a big man.
Velvet returning to focus on Conrad... But he gets caught with a SPEAR! Conrad takes the upper hand in the bout!
MH: Look at the furious flurry of punches that Conrad is using to pummel Velvet’s head into a bloody pulp!
BR: Conrad violently bringing Black Velvet up by grabbing his tights...
MH: EWW!!
BR: One half of the tag team champions has Velvet on his hands, and sends him FLYING into the turnbuckle! For the love of god!
Black Velvet quickly retracting from the post holding his head and Conrad with a swinging neckbreaker that follows up on the damage of Velvet’s head.
BR: Uh-oh, Conrad pulling Black Velvet to a powerslam position, here we go!
MH: Conrad can’t lift Velvet… what is he thinking?
BR: Here we go… NO! Black Velvet slides to behind Conrad... REVERSE DDT! VELVET TAKES THE LEAD!
Black Velvet uses the ropes to pull himself up, starts panting, tired, and gets a hold of Conrad. Velvet picks up Conrad and whips him into his corner. Velvet follows in with a huge corner splash.
BR: My god, all 450 pounds of Black Velvet just slammed into Conrad. Quick tag by Velvet brings Jake Adonis, the former hardcore champion, into the match for the first time officially.
MH: Smart tag team teamwork here. Keep the man isolated in your corner and work him over.
Velvet holds Conrad in place as Jake enters and dishes out several violent kicks to the rib area of Conrad. Conrad grimaces in pain as Jake takes a moment to pose for the crowd. Adonis waits for Conrad to get to his feet before sending him back to the mat with a dropkick! Adonis bounces off the ropes, Conrad dazed... Step-up enzuigiri!
MH: He’s going for more! Erica better watch out...
BR: SPINNING HEEL KICK ON ERICA ROSE! And she goes flying into the black matting below! That’s twice now Erica has been knocked off the apron and by god when she gets in this match they better watch the hell out!
MH: She landed shoulder-first... If she’s injured, I swear to god I’m going to cheer.
BR: That’s just sick!
Jake Adonis has got a hold of Conrad Black, takes him for an upside down, over the shoulder ride... BRAINBUSTER! Adonis kips up and bounces off the ropes, Conrad in a seated position and Jake hits a perfect over castle on Conrad!
MH: Conrad Black’s deformed and damaged brain has finally ceded! He’s now retarded!
BR: That was unnecessary.
Jake Adonis sprints into the ropes, bounces off one side, jumps over Conrad, bounces off the other side...
BR: That’s plainly mocking Conrad!
MH: Who cares? This man does anything he wants to! He’s one of the greatest wrestlers ever! He’s going to headline Hardcore Holiday, while Conrad lost to that masked freak Rory Blaze, for god’s sake!
BR: Jake Adonis just keeps bouncing off the ropes...ERICA FROM THE OUTSIDE TO STOP IT! Dirty leg trip, and Jake fell face-first into the ground!
Conrad inside the ring, taking advantage of the damage done... Jake Adonis getting up..down again with a backbreaker Conrad! Conrad pulls Jake Adonis by his wrist, hooks his waist… German suplex! Adonis lands on his neck!!!
BR: Jake Adonis slowly rising to his feet...However, Conrad is up too...BIG BOOT! Adonis back down!
MH: I’m going to throw a fit if Black Adonis doesn’t win this thing!
BR: Well, the odds aren’t that good for them right now! Conrad is visibly tired though... And he TAGS ERICA IN!!
MH: Oh, I’m so sarcastically excited.
BR: Shut up. Erica with the hot tag and the crowd has erupted! Right hand on Adonis! And a dropkick that sends Velvet crashing to the outside! Karma is a bitch!
Erica Rose turns around, focusing his attention back on Adonis. She goes to pick up Jake, but Jake counters with a punch to the gut of Erica. She slumps over in pain and Jake quickly gets to hit feet. Adonis locks up with Erica and tosses her into the ropes, Erica bounces back and leap frogs over Jake and when she does Jake catches her in mid air for a powerbomb! NO! At the last second Erica reverses it into a hurricanrana that sends Adonis flying into his corner!
BR: What an impact move by Erica! She wastes no time continuing the offense...
Jake is dazed and Erica runs into the corner with a shinning wizard! Adonis is rocked back to the mat in pain, but Erica is in the oppositions corner and Black Velvet takes her down with a violent clubbing forearm to the back of her skull! Velvet reaches down and tags himself in and immediately scales the ropes instead climbing into the ring.
BR: What the hell? Black Velvet has climbed the turnbuckle, high risk maneuver incoming, Erica still down from that forearm shot... Velvet leaps and JUPITERSAULT!!! Oh my god he might have just crushed her. And here comes Conrad from the outside to pummel on Velvet, the match has turned into absolute pandemonium!
MH: That’s how I like my matches!
BR: The confusion strikes! Conrad and Velvet furiously exchanging fists on the floor! Jake Adonis and Erica both slowly getting to his feet...Erica with a Spear! NO!! Adonis counters into an STO!!!
MH: Who is even the legal man or woman right now?
BR: I believe it's Black Velvet and Erica Rose!
Conrad locks up with Black Velvet and tosses him into the steel steps! Adonis notices what is going on and jumps out of the ring and runs over to Conrad and they begin trading blows. Velvet rolls back into the ring and both he and Erica take a few moments to get to their feet. Erica makes it to her feet first and she runs towards Velvet, but he catches her in mid-air for a sidewalk slam!!!
BR: I just don't see how Erica can gain an advantage here against the big man. The weight differential is so noticeable!
Velvet picks up Erica and slaps on a bearhug. On the outside of the ring Conrad Black and Jake Adonis still fight it out before Adonis catches Conrad with a short arm lariat that takes Conrad to the ground. Adonis hops back on the apron in his corner and cheers on his brother as Velvet violently shakes Erica in the bear hug.
BR: Remember this match can only be won by putting your opponent through a table!
MH: Yeah, but this move right here could render her unconcious thus making it easier to put her through a table! Strategy, Buddy!
Velvet breaks the bear hug and walks over to his corner and tags in Jake Adonis. Velvet rocks Erica with a headbutt before exiting the ring. Adonis measures Erica and WORLD'S SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSE!
BR: That'd be it if this were a normal match! My god Erica has taken a beating here... the fans are chanting for her to make a tag!
Adonis smiles as he looks down at Erica writhing in pain on the mat. Adonis stomps Erica before lifting her up and tossing her into the corner, Erica slams to the mat with force, and Jake quickly tags back in Black Velvet. Velvet heads back to he top rope again as he looks to hit another JUPITERSAULT! NO! ERICA MOVES! At the last second Erica rolled out the way and Velvet crashes to the mat.
BR: Erica with a second wind... she better tag in Conrad.
MH: She looks over and Conrad is just getting to his feet so she can't!
Erica takes matters into her own hands and she makes her way to the apron on the outside of the ropes. She waits as Black Velvet gets back to his feet and she uses the ropes for leverage and jumps up and takes Velvet down with a springboard tornado DDT!!
BR: Get to the corner, Erica!
Velvet and Erica both struggle to get to their respective corners to make a tag. Erica reaches her corner first where Conrad has made his way back to. Erica tags in Conrad just as Velvet tags back in Adonis!
BR: The roof just blew off this place!
Conrad rushes in and ducks a Jake Adonis clothesline! Conrad takes Jake down with a dropkick! Conrad pops back up as does Jake and Conrad kicks Adonis in the gut, lifts him on his shoulders and fireman's carry gut buster!!! Conrad yells out as he releases his frustrations out on Adonis.
BR: Conrad with a flurry of offense here and the tag champs are back in control.
MH: What's this madman doing now?
Conrad slides under the bottom rope and goes to set up a table on the outside.
MH: Finally somebody realizes this is a damn tables match!
Conrad returns back to the ring with a steel chair in hand. He waits for Jake Adonis to get up and he goes to swing, but Black Velvet runs in to stop the attack. Conrad instead nails Velvet with the chair shot to the head! Velvet falls over in pain and Conrad turns to Jake and smacks him in the face with a chair shot!
THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Conrad looks over in the corner and sees his wife has recovered and he tags he back in. Velvet rolls back out of the ring and Adonis is still down. Erica enters and takes off running... Adonis to his feet...
BR: Cartwheel Corkscrew Moonsault!!! What athelticism by Erica Rose!!
MH: Even I was impressed by that!
BR: Can you believe she had a baby less than 5 months ago?
MH: I wish she'd have my babies!
BR: What would Mrs. Heenan say about that?
MH: Which one?
Erica helps up Jake, Jake throws a right, Erica hits a forearm shot. Jake quickly spins around and locks up Erica from behind. Erica quickly counters with a Pele kick!!! Jake is stunned and Erica hits BED OF ROSES!!! Velvet steps back through the ropes to break up the assault and Erica takes off running towards him....
BR: Here comes another Cartwheel Corkscrew Moonsault! NO! Black Velvet is ready for it and he catches Erica... Tombstone Piledriver!!!
MH: I think I heard her neck break.
BR: Stop! No you didn't!
Conrad charges into the ring and goes to dropkick Velvet, but Velvet moves and Conrad comes up short. Velvet steps to the outside and tags himself in, quickly shoving Conrad out of the ring and on to the outside. Velvet picks up Erica and whips her into the ropes, Erica returns, Velvet drops her back down to the mat with a Samoan drop! And now it's Conrad and Jake on the outside again! Jake whips Conrad into the guard rail and Conrad grabs his back in pain, Jake comes flying in with a big splash!! NO!! Conrad moves and Jake slams into the guardrail!! Conrad and Jake both slump to the ground to catch their breath.
BR: And Velvet slaps back on the bear hug to try and wear down the smaller opponent here!
MH: And what in the hell is her husband doing?
BR: Conrad is up and he notices the bear hug on Erica, but it seems he's not rushing in to make the save.
MH: What a husband he is!
BR: He knows that Erica can't be submitted or pinned, and this match is about putting someone through a table.
Conrad searches underneath the ring and pulls out an enormous ladder.
BR: That thing has to be 18 foot high! Oh my god!
Conrad sets up the ladder several feet away from the table that was already set up. Inside the ring Black Velvet releases the bear hug once he sees what Conrad is doing. Velvet starts to walk over to the ropes, but Erica gets to her feet and takes Velvet off his by taking his feet out from behind. Velvet stumbles forward and out of the ring, landing on the exposed part of the floor. Conrad runs over and follows it with a kick to Velvet.
BR: Conrad is trying his damndest to get Velvet on top of that table... and he's finally got it.
MH: But look...
Jake Adonis on the other side of the ring has gotten back to his feet and into the ring. Adonis sneaks up from behind Erica... Rude Awakening!!! Erica rolls to the outside of the ring just by sheer instinct. Adonis follows her and he rolls Erica on top of the Spanish announce table.
BR: What in the name of all that is holy are they planning?
MH: Conrad finally got Velvet into position and he doesn't notice what is going on on the other side of the ring.
BR: Conrad perched atop that 18 foot ladder...
As Conrad gets himself situated atop the ladder he looks out around the crowd at all the fans on their feet. On the other side of the ring, Jake Adonis has climbed back into the ring after situating Erica atop the Spanish announce table. Amid flashbulbs at nearly the same time Conrad leaps off the ladder with a flying elbow drop across the throat of Velvet and through the table and Adonis hits the ADONIS ARROW and puts Erica through the announce table!!!!
BR: BY GOD!!!!! IT'S CARNAGE!!!
MH: Well, I guess an announce table is still a table?
HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!!
RING ANNOUNCER: ERICA ROSE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
The fans react with dismay as the fan favorite has been taken out.
MH: Yes! It's two on one!!
RING ANNOUNCER: IN ADDITION.... BLACK VELVET HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
The fans go insane at the fact that Velvet has been eliminated as well.
BR: That's right! Both of the legal participants were put through a table and we're down to Conrad Black and Jake Adonis!!!
MH: If either of them can even make it back to their feet! All four competitors are still out!
The medical crews come out to check on everyone after the high impact spot. Erica Rose and Black Velvet are both helped off to the back leaving just Conrad Black and Jake Adonis.. Conrad gets to his feet and realizes what has happened. Enraged, he picks up a chair and stalks over where Adonis is at. Conrad swings the chair, but Adonis ducks and boots Conrad in the gut. Kick combination in a flurry by Adonis drops Conrad to the ground. Adonis backs up and takes off running hitting a running knee lift to Conrad!!!
BR: Conrad Black must not be human. The man has already been in one grueling match in another state tonight, and he's here defending his AWS titles as well!
MH: Why don't you two get a room.
BR: Could you and Liam recommend a good one?
Jake grabs Conrad by the hair and helps him to his feet only to whip him into the steel steps! Jake again grabs the hair of Conrad and walks him up the steps. Adonis positions Conrad for a pildedriver on he steel steps...
BR: No... No... No...
As Jake goes to lift Conrad, Conrad counters and sends Jake falling back over with a back body drop. Conrad leaps and hits a flying elbow drop on Jake on the outside. Conrad finds another table from under the ring and sets it amid the wreckage from the first one. After setting up the table he grabs a steel chair and sets it in position on the ground. Conrad grabs Adonis and lifts him up...
BR: And Conrad with BLACKBALLED onto the steel chair!!! Adonis is busted wide open!!
MH: This is insane. The medical staff and the cleaning crew are going to earn their pay tonight!
BR: As well as these two teams!
MH: Conrad needs to take advantage here and put Adonis through a table while he's losing all that blood.
BR: You rooting for Conrad all of the sudden?
MH: No, but unlike you I provide unbiased analysis!
Conrad walks over to the ladder he jumped off of earlier and closes it, bringing it with him towards Jake. Adonis wearing the crimson mask has somehow made it to his feet... Conrad running towards him with the ladder tilted sideways, and Jake with a dropkick!!! The ladder connects with the face of Conrad and he starts bleeding profusely!!! The ladder falls directly on Conrad when he lands on the ground and Adonis takes off running....
BR: Senton bomb!!! And Adonis just sacrificed his own body to inflict more damage on Conrad!!
MH: He's got another match tonight and THAT one is supposed to be grueling!
BR: Both men on the ground in agony! Both men busted wide open! There's tables, chairs, blood and bodies everywhere!!!!
MH: This rivalry is so intense... nobody wants to lose! And the way these teams have competed there is no real loser!
Adonis makes his way up and grabs another table and sets it up on the outside. Adonis stomps Conrad a few times and picks up his body and rolls him onto the table. Adonis slides back into the ring. Adonis climbs to the top corner turnbuckle and stands atop. He signals for it!
BR: This is sick! I think he's going for his Adonis Arrow shooting star press!
Jake leaps! ADONIS ARROW! Just after Jake left the turnbuckle Conrad kips up on the table!
MH: Conrad is up!!!???
Jake is flying towards Conrad. Conrad leaps and catches Jake midair... THE BLACK OUT!!! Conrad takes Adonis through the table!
BR: Oh my god! DIAMOND CUTTER THROUGH THE GOD DAMN TABLE!

Adonis locks up with Erica and tosses her into the ropes, Erica bounces back and leap frogs over Jake and when she does Jake catches her in mid air for a powerbomb! NO! At the last second Erica reverses it into a hurricanrana that sends Adonis flying into his corner!
BR: What an impact move by Erica! She wastes no time continuing the offense...
Jake is dazed and Erica runs into the corner with a shinning wizard! Adonis is rocked back to the mat in pain, but Erica is in the oppositions corner and Black Velvet takes her down with a violent clubbing forearm to the back of her skull! Velvet reaches down and tags himself in and immediately scales the ropes instead climbing into the ring.
BR: What the hell? Black Velvet has climbed the turnbuckle, high risk maneuver incoming, Erica still down from that forearm shot... Velvet leaps and JUPITERSAULT!!! Oh my god he might have just crushed her. And here comes Conrad from the outside to pummel on Velvet, the match has turned into absolute pandemonium!
MH: That’s how I like my matches!
BR: The confusion strikes! Conrad and Velvet furiously exchanging fists on the floor! Jake Adonis and Erica both slowly getting to his feet...Erica with a Spear! NO!! Adonis counters into an STO!!!
MH: Who is even the legal man or woman right now?
BR: I believe it's Black Velvet and Erica Rose!
Conrad locks up with Black Velvet and tosses him into the steel steps! Adonis notices what is going on and jumps out of the ring and runs over to Conrad and they begin trading blows. Velvet rolls back into the ring and both he and Erica take a few moments to get to their feet. Erica makes it to her feet first and she runs towards Velvet, but he catches her in mid-air for a sidewalk slam!!!
BR: I just don't see how Erica can gain an advantage here against the big man. The weight differential is so noticeable!
Velvet picks up Erica and slaps on a bearhug. On the outside of the ring Conrad Black and Jake Adonis still fight it out before Adonis catches Conrad with a short arm lariat that takes Conrad to the ground. Adonis hops back on the apron in his corner and cheers on his brother as Velvet violently shakes Erica in the bear hug.
BR: Remember this match can only be won by putting your opponent through a table!
MH: Yeah, but this move right here could render her unconcious thus making it easier to put her through a table! Strategy, Buddy!
Velvet breaks the bear hug and walks over to his corner and tags in Jake Adonis. Velvet rocks Erica with a headbutt before exiting the ring. Adonis measures Erica and WORLD'S SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSE!
BR: That'd be it if this were a normal match! My god Erica has taken a beating here... the fans are chanting for her to make a tag!
Adonis smiles as he looks down at Erica writhing in pain on the mat. Adonis stomps Erica before lifting her up and tossing her into the corner, Erica slams to the mat with force, and Jake quickly tags back in Black Velvet. Velvet heads back to he top rope again as he looks to hit another JUPITERSAULT! NO! ERICA MOVES! At the last second Erica rolled out the way and Velvet crashes to the mat.
BR: Erica with a second wind... she better tag in Conrad.
MH: She looks over and Conrad is just getting to his feet so she can't!
Erica takes matters into her own hands and she makes her way to the apron on the outside of the ropes. She waits as Black Velvet gets back to his feet and she uses the ropes for leverage and jumps up and takes Velvet down with a springboard tornado DDT!!
BR: Get to the corner, Erica!
Velvet and Erica both struggle to get to their respective corners to make a tag. Erica reaches her corner first where Conrad has made his way back to. Erica tags in Conrad just as Velvet tags back in Adonis!
BR: The roof just blew off this place!
Conrad rushes in and ducks a Jake Adonis clothesline! Conrad takes Jake down with a dropkick! Conrad pops back up as does Jake and Conrad kicks Adonis in the gut, lifts him on his shoulders and fireman's carry gut buster!!! Conrad yells out as he releases his frustrations out on Adonis.
BR: Conrad with a flurry of offense here and the tag champs are back in control.
MH: What's this madman doing now?
Conrad slides under the bottom rope and goes to set up a table on the outside.
MH: Finally somebody realizes this is a damn tables match!
Conrad returns back to the ring with a steel chair in hand. He waits for Jake Adonis to get up and he goes to swing, but Black Velvet runs in to stop the attack. Conrad instead nails Velvet with the chair shot to the head! Velvet falls over in pain and Conrad turns to Jake and smacks him in the face with a chair shot!
THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Conrad looks over in the corner and sees his wife has recovered and he tags he back in. Velvet rolls back out of the ring and Adonis is still down. Erica enters and takes off running... Adonis to his feet...
BR: Cartwheel Corkscrew Moonsault!!! What athelticism by Erica Rose!!
MH: Even I was impressed by that!
BR: Can you believe she had a baby less than 5 months ago?
MH: I wish she'd have my babies!
BR: What would Mrs. Heenan say about that?
MH: Which one?
Erica helps up Jake, Jake throws a right, Erica hits a forearm shot. Jake quickly spins around and locks up Erica from behind. Erica quickly counters with a Pele kick!!! Jake is stunned and Erica hits BED OF ROSES!!! Velvet steps back through the ropes to break up the assault and Erica takes off running towards him....
BR: Here comes another Cartwheel Corkscrew Moonsault! NO! Black Velvet is ready for it and he catches Erica... Tombstone Piledriver!!!
MH: I think I heard her neck break.
BR: Stop! No you didn't!
Conrad charges into the ring and goes to dropkick Velvet, but Velvet moves and Conrad comes up short. Velvet steps to the outside and tags himself in, quickly shoving Conrad out of the ring and on to the outside. Velvet picks up Erica and whips her into the ropes, Erica returns, Velvet drops her back down to the mat with a Samoan drop! And now it's Conrad and Jake on the outside again! Jake whips Conrad into the guard rail and Conrad grabs his back in pain, Jake comes flying in with a big splash!! NO!! Conrad moves and Jake slams into the guardrail!! Conrad and Jake both slump to the ground to catch their breath.
BR: And Velvet slaps back on the bear hug to try and wear down the smaller opponent here!
MH: And what in the hell is her husband doing?
BR: Conrad is up and he notices the bear hug on Erica, but it seems he's not rushing in to make the save.
MH: What a husband he is!
BR: He knows that Erica can't be submitted or pinned, and this match is about putting someone through a table.
Conrad searches underneath the ring and pulls out an enormous ladder.
BR: That thing has to be 18 foot high! Oh my god!
Conrad sets up the ladder several feet away from the table that was already set up. Inside the ring Black Velvet releases the bear hug once he sees what Conrad is doing. Velvet starts to walk over to the ropes, but Erica gets to her feet and takes Velvet off his by taking his feet out from behind. Velvet stumbles forward and out of the ring, landing on the exposed part of the floor. Conrad runs over and follows it with a kick to Velvet.
BR: Conrad is trying his damndest to get Velvet on top of that table... and he's finally got it.
MH: But look...
Jake Adonis on the other side of the ring has gotten back to his feet and into the ring. Adonis sneaks up from behind Erica... Rude Awakening!!! Erica rolls to the outside of the ring just by sheer instinct. Adonis follows her and he rolls Erica on top of the Spanish announce table.
BR: What in the name of all that is holy are they planning?
MH: Conrad finally got Velvet into position and he doesn't notice what is going on on the other side of the ring.
BR: Conrad perched atop that 18 foot ladder...
As Conrad gets himself situated atop the ladder he looks out around the crowd at all the fans on their feet. On the other side of the ring, Jake Adonis has climbed back into the ring after situating Erica atop the Spanish announce table. Amid flashbulbs at nearly the same time Conrad leaps off the ladder with a flying elbow drop across the throat of Velvet and through the table and Adonis hits the ADONIS ARROW and puts Erica through the announce table!!!!
BR: BY GOD!!!!! IT'S CARNAGE!!!
MH: Well, I guess an announce table is still a table?
HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!!
RING ANNOUNCER: ERICA ROSE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
The fans react with dismay as the fan favorite has been taken out.
MH: Yes! It's two on one!!
RING ANNOUNCER: IN ADDITION.... BLACK VELVET HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
The fans go insane at the fact that Velvet has been eliminated as well.
BR: That's right! Both of the legal participants were put through a table and we're down to Conrad Black and Jake Adonis!!!
MH: If either of them can even make it back to their feet! All four competitors are still out!
The medical crews come out to check on everyone after the high impact spot. Erica Rose and Black Velvet are both helped off to the back leaving just Conrad Black and Jake Adonis.. Conrad gets to his feet and realizes what has happened. Enraged, he picks up a chair and stalks over where Adonis is at. Conrad swings the chair, but Adonis ducks and boots Conrad in the gut. Kick combination in a flurry by Adonis drops Conrad to the ground. Adonis backs up and takes off running hitting a running knee lift to Conrad!!!
BR: Conrad Black must not be human. The man has already been in one grueling match in another state tonight, and he's here defending his AWS titles as well!
MH: Why don't you two get a room.
BR: Could you and Liam recommend a good one?
Jake grabs Conrad by the hair and helps him to his feet only to whip him into the steel steps! Jake again grabs the hair of Conrad and walks him up the steps. Adonis positions Conrad for a pildedriver on he steel steps...
BR: No... No... No...
As Jake goes to lift Conrad, Conrad counters and sends Jake falling back over with a back body drop. Conrad leaps and hits a flying elbow drop on Jake on the outside. Conrad finds another table from under the ring and sets it amid the wreckage from the first one. After setting up the table he grabs a steel chair and sets it in position on the ground. Conrad grabs Adonis and lifts him up...
BR: And Conrad with BLACKBALLED onto the steel chair!!! Adonis is busted wide open!!
MH: This is insane. The medical staff and the cleaning crew are going to earn their pay tonight!
BR: As well as these two teams!
MH: Conrad needs to take advantage here and put Adonis through a table while he's losing all that blood.
BR: You rooting for Conrad all of the sudden?
MH: No, but unlike you I provide unbiased analysis!
Conrad walks over to the ladder he jumped off of earlier and closes it, bringing it with him towards Jake. Adonis wearing the crimson mask has somehow made it to his feet... Conrad running towards him with the ladder tilted sideways, and Jake with a dropkick!!! The ladder connects with the face of Conrad and he starts bleeding profusely!!! The ladder falls directly on Conrad when he lands on the ground and Adonis takes off running....
BR: Senton bomb!!! And Adonis just sacrificed his own body to inflict more damage on Conrad!!
MH: He's got another match tonight and THAT one is supposed to be grueling!
BR: Both men on the ground in agony! Both men busted wide open! There's tables, chairs, blood and bodies everywhere!!!!
MH: This rivalry is so intense... nobody wants to lose! And the way these teams have competed there is no real loser!
Adonis makes his way up and grabs another table and sets it up on the outside. Adonis stomps Conrad a few times and picks up his body and rolls him onto the table. Adonis slides back into the ring. Adonis climbs to the top corner turnbuckle and stands atop. He signals for it!
BR: This is sick! I think he's going for his Adonis Arrow shooting star press!
Jake leaps! ADONIS ARROW! Just after Jake left the turnbuckle Conrad kips up on the table!
MH: Conrad is up!!!???
Jake is flying towards Conrad. Conrad leaps and catches Jake midair... THE BLACK OUT!!! Conrad takes Adonis through the table!
BR: Oh my god! DIAMOND CUTTER THROUGH THE GOD DAMN TABLE!
RING ANNOUNCER: Here are your winners and SSSTTIIILLLLLL AWS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS... CONRAD BLACK & ERICA ROSE... BLACK ROSE!
WINNERS: BLACK ROSE (STILL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS)
BR: What a tough match! I can't believe that Conrad reversed the Adonis Arrow into a Black Out! Amazing! Amazing!
MH: Match of the year candidate in my opinion for 2015.
BR: Conrad and Adonis are being helped out of here. Adonis better get a good rubdown by the medical staff. I don't know how he or Velvet will compete here in a bit in the main event!
MH: Black Rose retains! The staff is already trying to clear out the debris for the next match which is the hotly contested Intercontinental title.
The camera fades to a strange video package...
Lights so bright they burn the retinas in the dark night. Opulent and sparkling, like multi-colored pieces of candy that the little children will defile their teeth and stomachs with. The so-called "holidays", a perverse combination of the phrase "holy day", are far from what they once originated from. Commercialism has dictated a materialistic impulse that has consumed the culture and made it impossible to enjoy anything without wondering the cost: monetary, physically, temporally. Yet in it all is still a fledgling silhouette of what these days once represented but even that has been contorted into unrecognizable afterimages of an event that once may have been sacred. It's all so hypocritical it would make anyone who had a little bit of common sense sick to their stomach how far this misguided thought of immorality-as-morality truly has taken us.
Yet this time is also quite appropriate to the event. A new cycle around that great celestial object should be accompanied by the debut of a new talent, a clearly superior talent to the lackluster individuals that have managed to infect this domain. It only follows that such talent is likely wasted in such an environment but opportunity is one of those rare and fickle events that only appears to a very select few individuals and is often disregarded as jests of whim and is as quickly dismissed. Not this time though. No this time would be different. This opportunity would not be missed, would not be wasted. This is the time, the place to unleash the crucible, to burn away the infection, to purify this Syndicate.
Hehehe.
Bonnie-kin, Bonnie-kin, play softly with your lies.
Bonnie-kin, Bonnie-kin, you will suffer as your prize.
Indeed, even as they brace for the new coming they tremble in their importance, cower in their arrogance, they realize what comes for them. They will make declarations, proclamations to disguise their reservations, but their ignorance will be their own undoing. Words have meaning, power when applied with knowledge and wisdom, but are woefully ineffective when thrown out in fear. It comes as no surprise then that they use more words to try and mask their apprehensions. Why would they do a thing like this? Run from that which makes them so human? Even those who claim something more are in the end blood, bone and flesh only, the very makings of imperfection. No mortal being is immune from their fears and attempting to assuage ego by pretending otherwise is a fool's errand and can only end in a broken shell where that pride once filled.
Yet to admit to the fear, to give in thinking an embrace will be a release from the torture would be similarly foolish because fear is the essence on which she feasts. For how can they fight that which can turn fears against them? Perhaps they will continue their inane rants as though somehow the words will turn away the coming tide. She has no need for words when their own distress ushers in their inevitable doom. Put in another perspective, there are no words in any language that grasp the extent of what satiates her lust.
Bonnie-kin, Bonnie-kin, take your measures in gold.
Bonnie-kin, Bonnie-kin, would it all be worth your soul?
Understand, she is not interested in accolades, decorations, laurels or prizes as they see in their limited designs. She has little desire for those championships and titles they cling to so desperately in their conceited efforts to gain marks of recognition. No, while these things may come in time, what she desires is much simpler and yet so much more grandiose. Domination. What are their achievements worth if they are overcome by another? No reign is forever and no title is cemented in its place. Of course, they will proclaim that such sets them apart in some way. More and more they will carry on with rhetoric and tirade but it will be for naught. For as they stare into the lights that taunt them in their defeat what will their bluster and their conquests of times long past mean then?
Does this all sink in? Has the meaning been made clear?
Bonnie-kin...
Bonnie-kin...
She... is here...

KINCAID VS JON ROCKS VS DUKE TAYLOR(C)
NO DQ CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
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: The following is a three man championship scramble for the Intercontinental championship! There is a twenty minute time limit. Whomever has scored the last pinfall or submission when the time expires will be declared the Intercontinental champion! Introducing first, from Bearing, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 240 pounds, being accompanied to the ring by Alyssa... KINCAID!
BR: I can't deny that Kincaid is talented, but I don't like the fact that he bullied his way into the title picture.
MH: It's better than any of the shitty champions we have had so far. Conrad... Landon...
Not Gonna Die by Skillet plays as 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: Introducing next, hailing from Sunshine City, California, weighing in at 225 pounds... THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST... JON ROCKS!!!!!!
BR: Here comes the man who was screwed out of his Intercontinental title match by Kincaid. Jon is as good man who seems to get pushed around a lot by bullies like Liam and Kincaid, but he doesn't let it get to him. What a role model!
MH: He's a jackass and I hope he gets sent to the grave with his father!
"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 standing at the ramp. He doesn't have the Intercontinental title with him. He looks sad instead of his normal upbeat self. He calmly walks down the ramp...
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing last, currently on his way to the ring, the current AWS Intercontinental champion, hailing from Toronto, Canada weighing in at 225 pounds... DUKE TAYLOR.
Jon shakes his head at the announcer for saying that he is champion... Duke leans in the corner as the referee grabs the belt from the timekeeper.
BR: Mr. Troy hand delivered the Intercontinental title to the time keeper a bit ago after Duke left it in his office last week.
MH: What an idiot!
BR: I think he feels like he needs to re-earn his championship. I disagree. The man beat Landon Carter for gods sake.
MH: He hasn't won a damn match since winning the title!
BR: Lets hope Duke hasn't defeated himself with his lack of determination and heart. I think he can get it done and defend the title tonight. Mr. Troy wouldn't let Duke officially vacate the title, so he's still champion.
MH: Lets not forget that this match is no DQ, no countout, no ropebreak!
Jon Rocks, Duke Taylor, and Kincaid all stand in the ring, each sizing up the others. Jon Rocks and Kincaid seem to be paying more attention to each other than to Duke Taylor. The bell rings and Kincaid and Jon Rocks rush at each other, throwing overhand fists and forearms. Duke takes a step back as the two men recklessly fire away at each other.
BR: To say that this was personal between the two…
MH: No… you don’t say buddy?
Kincaid shoves Rocks forward and then turns and elbows Duke in the face. Taylor falls backwards into the turnbuckle in surprise. Kincaid turns and levels Rocks with a vicious clothesline. Kincaid grabs Rocks by the arm and lifts him roughly. First Kincaid jaws off at Rocks then hits a vicious short-arm clothesline. Duke rushes from the turnbuckle and hits a vicious ZIG-ZAG on Kincaid. Duke hooks the leg.
One…!
Vicious kick-out at one and a half.
BR: Kincaid had not been expecting that. He seemed more focused on Jon Rocks.
Kincaid angrily stands and boots Taylor in the back of the leg, and then hits a snap inverted-DDT. Just as he sits up Jon connects with a vicious Shining-Wizard.
BR: None of these men are letting each other have even a seconds rest.
MH: They all realize what this match means. This is the biggest match in any of the three careers.
BR: You realize that Jon Rocks just defeated the worl--
MH: THE BIGGEST MATCH OF THEIR CAREERS BUDDY!
Rocks is up first and picks Kincaid up. The two begin to brawl back and forth once more, exchanging huge rights and lefts. There is a look of anger on each man’s face. Duke Taylor is once again all but forgotten as the brawl spills over the top rope and both wrestlers take hard falls. Taylor stands up and looks around astonished at the empty ring.
BR: It’s like Kincaid and Rocks are more invested in just beating the hell out of each other at this point.
Kincaid is up first and boots Rocks hard in the leg as he’s trying to regain his footing. Rocks falls to a knee and Kincaid hits him with a vicious BIG FAT KILL! Rocks falls back to the ground hard. Kincaid begins to stomp away at the prone Rocks, using the edge of the ring as support and really laying into him.
MH: Maybe I’ll finally get my wish and someone will shut that goody-goody up.
Duke Taylor slides out of the ring and stands between the prone Rocks and Kincaid protectively.
MH: Get out of the way you loser! Let these two work it out!
BR: Jon Rocks is a friend of Duke Taylor, Taylor’s not just going to let Kincaid beat on him mercilessly. One has to wonder though if Rocks is one hundred percent after that match with Liam McAllister last week.
Taylor shoves Kincaid back roughly away from Rocks. Kincaid stumbles back but catches himself. A flash of rage passes over his face. Taylor and he rush at each other and exchange heated blows, similar to how Jon Rocks and Kincaid had been going at it.
BR: Through the rivalry with Jon Rocks and Kincaid it’s almost easy to lose track of the Intercontinental champion, but there’s no love lost between Taylor and Kincaid either. Kincaid has said some pretty unflattering things about Taylor’s wife and child.
Kincaid takes the upper hand with his size advantage and roughly backs Taylor spine first into the side of the ring. Taylor bounces out right into a huge SPINEBUSTER! For good measure he boots Rocks in the face as he begins to stir.
MH: Kincaid is dominant so far in this title bout. He said earlier that he wants it more than both men. He’s proving that right now!
Kincaid looks around and the audience boos at him standing over the prone figure of Jon Rocks. There is a look of aggression plastered on his face. Alyssa starts to move towards him, but seems to think better of it. Kincaid looks from Jon to Duke to the side of the ring and begins to nod. He begins to rummage around under the ring as the crowd continues to boo.
From underneath the ring Kincaid withdraws a steel chair. The crowd really begins to let him have it. Rocks beings to rise to his feet.
WHAM!
Kincaid levels him with a vicious chair shot. The stitches Rocks had received after his attack by Liam and Bobby last week reopen, and blood spills down onto his face.
Kincaid smiles and lifts the blood-stained chair high in the air. The crowd roars at him with pure loathing. Taylor rushes him from behind, but Kincaid sidesteps the blow and nails Taylor over the head as well.
BR: This is a no-disqualification match! That bully is free to use that Chair as much as he’d like.
Kincaid tosses the chair to the side and grabs Jon Rocks by the hair and slides him roughly into the ring. A crimson mask has begun to form on Jon Rocks, and it seems only to entice Kincaid all the more. Kincaid slides in the ring after Rocks, Duke Taylor all but forgotten once again. Kincaid mouths off at Rocks, seeming to enjoy his moment. Rocks begins to stir and gets up to his forearms, his face covered in blood.
BR: The referee might want to stop this match.
MH: No chance.
Kincaid charges from behind.
FINISHING TOUCH! A face print of Jon’s blood is left in the spot where he fell.
MH: We’re going to have a new Intercontinental champion right here! Maybe this will be the only pinfall!
One…!
Two…!
TH-Kickout! Kincaid stands up abruptly and looks utterly shocked at the prone Jon Rocks in front of him, staring back up at him with a face covered in blood. Kincaid roughly boots Rocks in the face. Rocks once again falls to the mat. Kincaid lays into him with boots to his busted open head.
BR: Kincaid himself once said that he would never be able to defeat the heart of Jon Rocks.
MH: Well he must have been drunk or something. Seems to me like he’s defeating all body parts of Rocks right now.
From behind Kincaid Duke Taylor slides into the ring and the crowd is on their feet for their Intercontinental Champion. Taylor has the bloody steel chair in white-knuckled grips as he shakes with rage. Kincaid turns and Duke absolutely levels him with the steel chair. Taylor then begins to lay into Kincaid with the chair.
MH: Hot damn!
BR: There is a lot of pent-up aggression behind those shots!
Jon Rocks has found his way to his feet using the support of the ring corner, and he just stares at Taylor in amazement. Taylor eventually stops and turns around, the chair still very much brandished. Jon Rocks stares at him from the corner, a look of concern noticeable even through his crimson mask.
Taylor tosses the chair to the side as Kincaid rolls out of the ring, clutching at his ribs. Alyssa makes her way over to check on her injured husband. Rocks and Taylor stare at each other for a long moment.
Rocks is covered in his own blood, Taylor is breathing heavily from the many chair shots he just laid into Kincaid. The crowd is on their feet, baited breath awaiting what was to happen between the two friends. They bump fists and the crowd cheers as they being to circle each other on spaghetti legs.
Rocks and Taylor lock up and begin to chain wrestle. Rocks gains the upper hand and forces Taylor face down to the mat. Rocks begins to wrench Taylor’s arm behind him, and the champion strains to struggle against the coming predicament. Finally Rocks wrenches the champion’s arm behind himself.
HARD PLACE!
Taylor beings to struggle and squirm towards the ropes.
MH: This is no-disqualification! The ropes aren’t going to help you you idiot!
BR: Maybe he can use the leverage to get out of the pin. Don’t count our Intercontinental champion out so fast!
Taylor screams in pain against the hold, but there is a look of determination on the blood soaked face of Rocks. Alyssa helps Kincaid to his feet as best she can and tries to make the stunned wrestler aware of the events occurring in the ring. Kincaid tries to clear the cobwebs out of his head and groggily makes his way into the ring.
Taylor has reached the ropes but is still struggling against the hold.
MH: Taylor has been stuck in that Hard Place for quite some time. How in the world is he still holding on?!
BR: I can’t honestly believe Rocks has one hundred percent of that hold locked in. His face is covered with blood!
Kincaid boots Rocks in the back forcing him to release the hold. Taylor clings to his arm. Kincaid picks Rocks up and grabs him around the head!
MH: Looks like a FINISHING TOUCH!
BR: NO! Rocks reverses it into a HARD PLACE!
Kincaid squirms in pain under the hold, as Taylor holds onto his own arm and tries to rework some feeling into it.
MH: Is it just me, or does Jon seem to be wrenching a lot harder on this one?
Kincaid does not give Rocks the satisfaction of crying out in pain, a look of determination mixed with anguish on his face. He grabs at the ropes but the referee does not break the hold, as it is no DQ. Alyssa looks on from the outside willing Kincaid to break the hold.
Kincaid’s arm comes up and he goes to elbow Rocks. Kincaid’s arm comes away bloody but Rocks does not release the hold. Kincaid does the move once more time, but Rocks manages to move his head out of the way, then headbutts Kincaid in the back of his own head, leaving his hair covered and matted with Rocks’ blood.
BR: Rocks is fighting with everything that he has right now.
Taylor found his way to his feet and stares at Kincaid squirming under the pressure of the hold. The champion seems to be debating breaking up the hold or not. Kincaid’s arm goes up, as if he’s going to tap out, but Taylor falls under it and catches it, kicking Rocks in the back of the head at the same time.
Rocks stumbles forwards and through the middle ropes, falling hard outside the ring.
Kincaid paws at his shoulder, rolling around trying to work the pain out of it. Duke grabs him by the hair and lifts Kincaid to his feet. Duke then lifts Kincaid up in a fireman’s carry.
BR: Through everything the champion is going to retain! A true Cinderella story.
Duke shifts Kincaid off of his shoulder looking for the GO TO SLEEP! NO! Kincaid however turns and grabs his head into a vicious FINISHING TOUCH!
BR: No…. no!
MH: OH MY GOD YES!
Kincaid rolls into the pin, though is unable to hook the leg.
One…!
Two….!
THREE!
RING ANNOUNCER: Kincaid has secured a pinfall!
MH: He’s done it! There are only 5 minutes left in this match!
BR: I can’t believe that bully just got a pinfall on the Intercontinental champion that way!
MH: If no more pinfalls or submissions happens when the time expires Kincaid will be the champion!
Kincaid rolls off of Duke Taylor and raises his working arm high in the air over his head. Alyssa looks on from the outside, and she seems genuinely happy.
From the outside Jon Rocks leaps with incredible agility first up to the apron and then to the top of the turnbuckle and as soon as Kincaid turns around to face him Rocks flies off! OPTIMIST TWIST!
Rocks’ bicep collides roughly with Kincaid’s jaw and the man goes down hard. Rocks grabs Kincaid by the hair and lifts him to his feet.
BR: Oh my! The crowd is on their feet! Jon Rocks has his second wind and he’s giving Kincaid everything he has with it!
MH: Oh hell…
EVERLASTING SUNSHINE!
BR: Kincaid is getting exactly what he deserves right now! Just a few minutes left in this match!
Rocks crawls into a cover.
One….!
Two….!
THREE!
RING ANNOUNCER: Jon Rocks has secured a pinfall!
Jon Rocks rolls off of Kincaid with the biggest smile on his blood soaked face. The crowd cheers in a thundering roar. Rocks stands up. From the ground behind him Duke Taylor grabs him and rolls Rocks into a pin.
One!
Two!
KICKOUT!
BR: Rocks kicks out!.
Duke Taylor can't believe it! He sinks his head into his hands and sits on the mat.
MH: Kincaid is up!
BR: There is only 30 seconds left on the clock!
Jon is up and was going to attack Duke, but the dreadful look on Dukes face made Jon stop in his tracks. Kincaid rolls up Jon!
One...
Two...
THRE-KICKOUT!
MH: Twenty seconds!
BR: Jon's gonna be our new champ!
Duke is still sitting on the ground staring at the other two men with dead soulless eyes.
Jon grabs hold of Kincaid's arm to try to lock in the HARD PLACE but Kincaid reverses it. He's got him in a headlock!
FINISHING TOUCH! Kincaid covers! Duke just sits on his ass and watches the pinfall.
One...
Two...
THREE!
RING ANNOUNCER: Kincaid has secured a pinfall!
BR: There's 10 seconds left on the clock!
Kincaid is standing up now. Just staring at Duke who remains motionless!

RING ANNOUNCER: Here is your winner and NNNEEEWWWW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION... KINCAID!
RING ANNOUNCER: The following is a three man championship scramble for the Intercontinental championship! There is a twenty minute time limit. Whomever has scored the last pinfall or submission when the time expires will be declared the Intercontinental champion! Introducing first, from Bearing, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 240 pounds, being accompanied to the ring by Alyssa... KINCAID!
BR: I can't deny that Kincaid is talented, but I don't like the fact that he bullied his way into the title picture.
MH: It's better than any of the shitty champions we have had so far. Conrad... Landon...
Not Gonna Die by Skillet plays as 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: Introducing next, hailing from Sunshine City, California, weighing in at 225 pounds... THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST... JON ROCKS!!!!!!
BR: Here comes the man who was screwed out of his Intercontinental title match by Kincaid. Jon is as good man who seems to get pushed around a lot by bullies like Liam and Kincaid, but he doesn't let it get to him. What a role model!
MH: He's a jackass and I hope he gets sent to the grave with his father!
"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 standing at the ramp. He doesn't have the Intercontinental title with him. He looks sad instead of his normal upbeat self. He calmly walks down the ramp...
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing last, currently on his way to the ring, the current AWS Intercontinental champion, hailing from Toronto, Canada weighing in at 225 pounds... DUKE TAYLOR.
Jon shakes his head at the announcer for saying that he is champion... Duke leans in the corner as the referee grabs the belt from the timekeeper.
BR: Mr. Troy hand delivered the Intercontinental title to the time keeper a bit ago after Duke left it in his office last week.
MH: What an idiot!
BR: I think he feels like he needs to re-earn his championship. I disagree. The man beat Landon Carter for gods sake.
MH: He hasn't won a damn match since winning the title!
BR: Lets hope Duke hasn't defeated himself with his lack of determination and heart. I think he can get it done and defend the title tonight. Mr. Troy wouldn't let Duke officially vacate the title, so he's still champion.
MH: Lets not forget that this match is no DQ, no countout, no ropebreak!
Jon Rocks, Duke Taylor, and Kincaid all stand in the ring, each sizing up the others. Jon Rocks and Kincaid seem to be paying more attention to each other than to Duke Taylor. The bell rings and Kincaid and Jon Rocks rush at each other, throwing overhand fists and forearms. Duke takes a step back as the two men recklessly fire away at each other.
BR: To say that this was personal between the two…
MH: No… you don’t say buddy?
Kincaid shoves Rocks forward and then turns and elbows Duke in the face. Taylor falls backwards into the turnbuckle in surprise. Kincaid turns and levels Rocks with a vicious clothesline. Kincaid grabs Rocks by the arm and lifts him roughly. First Kincaid jaws off at Rocks then hits a vicious short-arm clothesline. Duke rushes from the turnbuckle and hits a vicious ZIG-ZAG on Kincaid. Duke hooks the leg.
One…!
Vicious kick-out at one and a half.
BR: Kincaid had not been expecting that. He seemed more focused on Jon Rocks.
Kincaid angrily stands and boots Taylor in the back of the leg, and then hits a snap inverted-DDT. Just as he sits up Jon connects with a vicious Shining-Wizard.
BR: None of these men are letting each other have even a seconds rest.
MH: They all realize what this match means. This is the biggest match in any of the three careers.
BR: You realize that Jon Rocks just defeated the worl--
MH: THE BIGGEST MATCH OF THEIR CAREERS BUDDY!
Rocks is up first and picks Kincaid up. The two begin to brawl back and forth once more, exchanging huge rights and lefts. There is a look of anger on each man’s face. Duke Taylor is once again all but forgotten as the brawl spills over the top rope and both wrestlers take hard falls. Taylor stands up and looks around astonished at the empty ring.
BR: It’s like Kincaid and Rocks are more invested in just beating the hell out of each other at this point.
Kincaid is up first and boots Rocks hard in the leg as he’s trying to regain his footing. Rocks falls to a knee and Kincaid hits him with a vicious BIG FAT KILL! Rocks falls back to the ground hard. Kincaid begins to stomp away at the prone Rocks, using the edge of the ring as support and really laying into him.
MH: Maybe I’ll finally get my wish and someone will shut that goody-goody up.
Duke Taylor slides out of the ring and stands between the prone Rocks and Kincaid protectively.
MH: Get out of the way you loser! Let these two work it out!
BR: Jon Rocks is a friend of Duke Taylor, Taylor’s not just going to let Kincaid beat on him mercilessly. One has to wonder though if Rocks is one hundred percent after that match with Liam McAllister last week.
Taylor shoves Kincaid back roughly away from Rocks. Kincaid stumbles back but catches himself. A flash of rage passes over his face. Taylor and he rush at each other and exchange heated blows, similar to how Jon Rocks and Kincaid had been going at it.
BR: Through the rivalry with Jon Rocks and Kincaid it’s almost easy to lose track of the Intercontinental champion, but there’s no love lost between Taylor and Kincaid either. Kincaid has said some pretty unflattering things about Taylor’s wife and child.
Kincaid takes the upper hand with his size advantage and roughly backs Taylor spine first into the side of the ring. Taylor bounces out right into a huge SPINEBUSTER! For good measure he boots Rocks in the face as he begins to stir.
MH: Kincaid is dominant so far in this title bout. He said earlier that he wants it more than both men. He’s proving that right now!
Kincaid looks around and the audience boos at him standing over the prone figure of Jon Rocks. There is a look of aggression plastered on his face. Alyssa starts to move towards him, but seems to think better of it. Kincaid looks from Jon to Duke to the side of the ring and begins to nod. He begins to rummage around under the ring as the crowd continues to boo.
From underneath the ring Kincaid withdraws a steel chair. The crowd really begins to let him have it. Rocks beings to rise to his feet.
WHAM!
Kincaid levels him with a vicious chair shot. The stitches Rocks had received after his attack by Liam and Bobby last week reopen, and blood spills down onto his face.
Kincaid smiles and lifts the blood-stained chair high in the air. The crowd roars at him with pure loathing. Taylor rushes him from behind, but Kincaid sidesteps the blow and nails Taylor over the head as well.
BR: This is a no-disqualification match! That bully is free to use that Chair as much as he’d like.
Kincaid tosses the chair to the side and grabs Jon Rocks by the hair and slides him roughly into the ring. A crimson mask has begun to form on Jon Rocks, and it seems only to entice Kincaid all the more. Kincaid slides in the ring after Rocks, Duke Taylor all but forgotten once again. Kincaid mouths off at Rocks, seeming to enjoy his moment. Rocks begins to stir and gets up to his forearms, his face covered in blood.
BR: The referee might want to stop this match.
MH: No chance.
Kincaid charges from behind.
FINISHING TOUCH! A face print of Jon’s blood is left in the spot where he fell.
MH: We’re going to have a new Intercontinental champion right here! Maybe this will be the only pinfall!
One…!
Two…!
TH-Kickout! Kincaid stands up abruptly and looks utterly shocked at the prone Jon Rocks in front of him, staring back up at him with a face covered in blood. Kincaid roughly boots Rocks in the face. Rocks once again falls to the mat. Kincaid lays into him with boots to his busted open head.
BR: Kincaid himself once said that he would never be able to defeat the heart of Jon Rocks.
MH: Well he must have been drunk or something. Seems to me like he’s defeating all body parts of Rocks right now.
From behind Kincaid Duke Taylor slides into the ring and the crowd is on their feet for their Intercontinental Champion. Taylor has the bloody steel chair in white-knuckled grips as he shakes with rage. Kincaid turns and Duke absolutely levels him with the steel chair. Taylor then begins to lay into Kincaid with the chair.
MH: Hot damn!
BR: There is a lot of pent-up aggression behind those shots!
Jon Rocks has found his way to his feet using the support of the ring corner, and he just stares at Taylor in amazement. Taylor eventually stops and turns around, the chair still very much brandished. Jon Rocks stares at him from the corner, a look of concern noticeable even through his crimson mask.
Taylor tosses the chair to the side as Kincaid rolls out of the ring, clutching at his ribs. Alyssa makes her way over to check on her injured husband. Rocks and Taylor stare at each other for a long moment.
Rocks is covered in his own blood, Taylor is breathing heavily from the many chair shots he just laid into Kincaid. The crowd is on their feet, baited breath awaiting what was to happen between the two friends. They bump fists and the crowd cheers as they being to circle each other on spaghetti legs.
Rocks and Taylor lock up and begin to chain wrestle. Rocks gains the upper hand and forces Taylor face down to the mat. Rocks begins to wrench Taylor’s arm behind him, and the champion strains to struggle against the coming predicament. Finally Rocks wrenches the champion’s arm behind himself.
HARD PLACE!
Taylor beings to struggle and squirm towards the ropes.
MH: This is no-disqualification! The ropes aren’t going to help you you idiot!
BR: Maybe he can use the leverage to get out of the pin. Don’t count our Intercontinental champion out so fast!
Taylor screams in pain against the hold, but there is a look of determination on the blood soaked face of Rocks. Alyssa helps Kincaid to his feet as best she can and tries to make the stunned wrestler aware of the events occurring in the ring. Kincaid tries to clear the cobwebs out of his head and groggily makes his way into the ring.
Taylor has reached the ropes but is still struggling against the hold.
MH: Taylor has been stuck in that Hard Place for quite some time. How in the world is he still holding on?!
BR: I can’t honestly believe Rocks has one hundred percent of that hold locked in. His face is covered with blood!
Kincaid boots Rocks in the back forcing him to release the hold. Taylor clings to his arm. Kincaid picks Rocks up and grabs him around the head!
MH: Looks like a FINISHING TOUCH!
BR: NO! Rocks reverses it into a HARD PLACE!
Kincaid squirms in pain under the hold, as Taylor holds onto his own arm and tries to rework some feeling into it.
MH: Is it just me, or does Jon seem to be wrenching a lot harder on this one?
Kincaid does not give Rocks the satisfaction of crying out in pain, a look of determination mixed with anguish on his face. He grabs at the ropes but the referee does not break the hold, as it is no DQ. Alyssa looks on from the outside willing Kincaid to break the hold.
Kincaid’s arm comes up and he goes to elbow Rocks. Kincaid’s arm comes away bloody but Rocks does not release the hold. Kincaid does the move once more time, but Rocks manages to move his head out of the way, then headbutts Kincaid in the back of his own head, leaving his hair covered and matted with Rocks’ blood.
BR: Rocks is fighting with everything that he has right now.
Taylor found his way to his feet and stares at Kincaid squirming under the pressure of the hold. The champion seems to be debating breaking up the hold or not. Kincaid’s arm goes up, as if he’s going to tap out, but Taylor falls under it and catches it, kicking Rocks in the back of the head at the same time.
Rocks stumbles forwards and through the middle ropes, falling hard outside the ring.
Kincaid paws at his shoulder, rolling around trying to work the pain out of it. Duke grabs him by the hair and lifts Kincaid to his feet. Duke then lifts Kincaid up in a fireman’s carry.
BR: Through everything the champion is going to retain! A true Cinderella story.
Duke shifts Kincaid off of his shoulder looking for the GO TO SLEEP! NO! Kincaid however turns and grabs his head into a vicious FINISHING TOUCH!
BR: No…. no!
MH: OH MY GOD YES!
Kincaid rolls into the pin, though is unable to hook the leg.

WINNER: KINCAID (NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION)
BR: Kincaid did it! He did it! He bullied his way into the title picture and stole it from Jon!
MH: Stole? Jon had an equal chance to win here, but Kincaid just brought it harder!
BR: What the hell is up with Duke? You could tell walking in here that his heart wasn't in it. If your heart isn't in it you have no chance.
MH: It's the first time in AWS history that we have an Intercontinental champion that isn't a nancy-pants do-gooder bullshit terrible champion!
BR: Oh hush. Duke walked in without the Intercontinental title belt, but walked in as champion. Kincaid walks out with the title. But I just can't believe that Duke just sat there and watch Kincaid get the pin!
MH: He obviously had self doubt issues. He didn't want to win and now he has promised to leave the AWS!
BR: Well folks, up next is the huge main event! The six man ThunderDome match! Two men will start in the ring, four men will be in chambers and ever few minutes a new man, at random, will be released from their chamber pod. You are eliminated by pinfall or submission anywhere in the dome. There is a large steel section outside of the ring, yet still within the dome and falls count there as well.
We fade to a video package showing the highlights of the involved men's careers, as shown last week on Ascension.

MH: I can’t wait to see Liam retain his title here tonight.
BR: There’s no way that jerk is going to keep his title with all the amazing competitors in this match.
"Been To Hell" by Hollywood Undead blasts through the speakers. Arena gets dark as crowd starts to boo. A spotlight runs all over the arena and stops at Jason Drago who is standing among the crowd in upper deck. He has his signature kendo stick with him. He walks down the stairs as the crowd continues to boo.
He jumps over the barricade and takes a look at the crowd. He puts the kendo stick down and enters the ring. Drago goes to the turnbuckle and climbs on middle rope. He poses as the crowd still boos. The referee looks at a sheet of paper and guide him into a chamber pod.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 221 pounds… JASON DRAGO!
MH: Looks like Drago is getting locked up in one of the chambers.
BR: That’s a perfect place for Drago, in a cell.
MH: His biggest opportunity in his life happens right now.
The sound of a pipe organ begins to fill the arena as the crowd rises to its feet. Every few seconds, the pipe organ increases up the musical scale by one note. Suddenly, as the pipe organ hits it’s dramatic note, the lights go out. Pyro then begins to envelop the stage for 10 seconds. When it subsides, the final tier of Dancing Mad is playing throughout the arena. Nine seconds in, the lights shoot back on and Matthias Barrows is standing in the ring with his arms straight back and his fists at the side of his ribs. Stacy Barrows and Gary the Assassin appear from behind the curtain a few seconds later, and the three of them slowly start to walk towards the ring. When they get to the bottom of the ramp, Stacy and Gary walk over to the steps. As Matthias hops up onto the ring apron, he throws his head back while hanging on the top rope and fireworks erupt above the ring as the song hits it’s somber half. Matthias then enters the ring and hopes onto the second turnbuckle. He hangs his right hand with a curled elbow and thrusts his left arm, palm-out, straight down before extending both arms out to the side while the crowd takes pictures. The referee guides him into a chamber.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, being accompanied by Gary The Assassin and Stacy Barrows, hailing from Reno, Nevada, weighing in at 241 pounds, he is the AWS Television Champion... MATTHIAS BARROWS!
MH: Matthias is also in a chamber. I wonder how they chose who would be in the ring first?
BR: I guess they drew lots.
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. When he gets in the ring Rory is guided into a chamber.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, the current AWS Hardcore champion, hailing from the Jersey Shore, weighing in at 236 pounds... RORY BLAZE!
BR: Rory hasn’t been heard from in a week, but here he is!
MH: Probably would have been better if we had continued to not hear from him. But there he goes, locked up in a chamber as well.
Jake's Entrance video fills the television screen. Jake is staring into a mirror, and as the glass cracks in the music his expression shifts from a smirk to a sinister smile. The camera then shifts to the ramp, where Jake Adonis comes out. He saunters out to the ramp and gyrates his hips once before holding up his hands, his fingers forming a J and an A together. Pyro goes off and then he makes his way down to the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, representing The Anarchy, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 245 pounds... JAKE ADONIS!
BR: Looks like Jake is going to start. What if Black Velvet starts as well? What are they going to do? Are they going to beat the crap out of each other?
MH: God I hope so.
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
BR: Here comes the Purple Pimp!
MH: Here comes Fat Albert.
BR: Well, you did hear that he’s going to play Fat Albert in the new movie, didn’t you? He said so himself this week!
MH: Jesus…the role is certainly fitting.
BR: And he's leaning on the ropes? Does this mean that Jake and Black drew to start the match?
"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits hits over the speakers and after a few moments, Liam McAllister steps out amid a chorus of boos. Liam sports is still sporting a cast from earlier in the month as well as some new bandages around his ribs courtesy of Sean Merciless, Matthias Barrows and Rory Blaze. He steps out alongside Kodiak Winters, clad in his red and yellow tights, black knee pads, and yellow kickpads over black boots. Liam wears the AWS World Heavyweight title around his waist as he strolls to the ring, soaking in the boos.
Liam steps into the ThunderDome match staring at all his opponents one by one flashing his World title to them before he hands it over to the referee. The referee guides Liam into a pod as Liam smirks.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing last, currently on his way to the ring, the current AWS World Heavyweight champion, from Manchester, England, weighing in at 205 pounds... LIAM McALLISTER!
BR: Are you kidding me? The champion gets to sit his ass in a pod from the start?
MH: Are you really mad at random draw? So you're mad a math? Really?
Black Velvet and Jake Adonis start in the ring. They look at the four other competitors and turn to each other, and shrug. They lock up, and then quickly release, looking around and laughing. Jake goes and sits on the turnbuckle facing Liam, taunting him, and Black Velvet goes up the chamber containing Drago, mocking the man.
BR: It looks like they’re not going to even bother fighting each other. They’re going to wait for the next competitor to enter the ring and destroy them. What a double handed tactic.
MH: What a smart tactic you mean! These guys are geniuses!
BR: It’s despicable.
MH: Shut up Buddy, it’s the smartest thing we’ve seen here tonight.
They relax, gaining some extra rest after the hellacious tables match that they went through.

JASON DRAGO'S POD OPENS
Jason’s cell opens up and he flys out of it, hitting lefts and rights on Black Velvet. Black Velvet tries to fight back, but was unprepared for Mr. Badass to have come out like a honey badger fighting so strong. Drago turns his attention away from Black Velvet and finds himself on the receiving end of a vicious WORLDS SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSEKICK.
BR: The numbers game was going to be too much for Drago to compete with.
MH: What a great move from Black Adonis. Get Drago to focus his attention on one of them, and have the other hit his finisher to take him out. Genius!
Black Velvet covers Drago.
One….
Two…..
THRE-KICKOUT!
BR: NO! Drago kicks out at the last moment! There is so much at stake in this match, he certainly wasn’t going to give up!
Black Velvet pulls Drago to his feet and Drago counters with an enzuigiri. Jake tries to move in, but Drago jumps up and hits a hurricanrana on Adonis, sending Adonis flying into Velvet. The ref starts to count.
One…
Black Velvet kicks out.
MH: He almost made Adonis pin Velvet! What a move that would have been.
Velvet and Adonis stand up and circle around Drago. Drago looks at the both of them and swings at Adonis. Adonis ducks and grabs Drago around the waist, hoisting him up and putting him on Black Velvet’s shoulders. Black Velvet throws him down and hits a huge powerbomb. Adonis goes to the top rope.
BR: Oh here he goes! He’s going to hit the Adonis Arrow!

MATTHIAS BARROWS POD OPENS
The lights flash around the chambers and Matthias is released! He charges out of his cell and breaks up the cover of Adonis on Drago!
BR: Why would Matthias prevent Drago from being eliminated?
MH: He probably didn’t want to be the sole target of Black Adonis. If Drago had been eliminated, he would have been in a two on one situation. At least now its two on one on one.
BR: I think you're right. Matthias surely would have been eliminated right away being alone with Black Adonis.
Matthias leaps up and hits a jumping TOOTH CHIPPER on Black Velvet! Velvet flies backwards and ends up against the turnbuckles. Velvet puts a hand to his jaw as Drago stands up and rushes to the corner Velvet is in, hitting a vicious drop kick against the larger man. Velvet falls to the ground and locks in the CIGAR CITY STRETCH on Black Velvet! Velvet is struggling with the pain of the move.
BR: There are no rope breaks here, so Velvet either has to escape or tap out!
Drago hoists up the leverage on the move, and Velvet yells out in pain. Adonis rushes over and kicks Drago in the head, breaking up the hold.
MH: It’s hard to eliminate one of them without eliminating them both at the same time. They’re going to keep covering for each other.
Velvet is still on the ground, now joined by Drago. Matthias turns his attention to Adonis, and lifts Adonis up on his shoulders.
BR: He’s looking to eliminate Adonis right now!

BR: Quick thinking by Velvet, using Drago as a weapon!
Black Velvet yells “ENOUGH!” And picks up Drago, tossing him out of the ring and onto the steel flooring around the ring. Drago lands hard on the unforgiving steel, and Velvet climbs over the ropes, and stomps on Drago. Velvet lifts up Drago again and Irish whips him into the chamber that used to contain him. Drago hits the chamber glass and it shatters, launching him through clear to the other side. He lies in a shocked state.
BR: I can’t believe what I just saw! Velvet launched Drago THROUGH one of the glass chambers! His body much be really aching after that!
MH: Not to mention all those little cuts that are probably covering him.
BR: Who is this coming down to the ring?!?
MH: It’s one of the new hires! His name is Sam Hyde! He’s got something in his hand. It’s a bag of some sort.
Sam Hyde makes his way down to the chamber, and circles it to the side that Jason Drago is on. Drago is lying against the chain link wall of the chamber, little cuts all over his body dripping blood. Sam smiles a vicious smile as he reaches into the bag that he is holding. He pulls something out of it, little flakes falling all over the place.
MH: That looks like….. salt?
BR: Oh my god.
Sam looks around at the crowd and then launches the salt at Jason Drago. Jason screams in agony as the salt gets into all the cuts that he just suffered. He screams and looks around for where the attack came from. Sam is laughing sadistically from the side of the Dome. Jason turns around and runs into another vicious WORLDS SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSEKICK from Jake Adonis. Jake turns and hits a WORLDS SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSEKICK on Matthias as well. Drago and Matthias are down. Velvet and Jake are still up. They look back and forth from Matthias to Drago, and then Velvet points to Drago. Jake lifts him up and Velvet swings him over his shoulder. Velvet drops him with a brutal KING SIZE CRUSH right on the steel!
BR: That such a punishing move! I don’t know how Drago is going to kick out after everything that has been inflicted on him.
MH: But look how much damage they’ve had to inflict on Drago to keep him down! Clearly this many is living up to his name of Mr. Badass!

BR: OH MY GOD!
MH: VELVET JUST WENT THROUGH THE STEEL FLOORING.
There is silence in the arena, and a massive hole in the flooring of the chamber. Even Liam doesn’t look pleased.
BR: Ladies and Gentlemen, the EMT’s are coming down to the ring right now with a stretcher. Velvet hasn’t moved since going through the floor. We can’t even see him from where we’re sitting right now, but nothing has come out of that hole. I think he's practically been eliminated, and he will be eliminated if he can't continue!
The EMT’s crawl under the ring, and Velvet’s unconscious body is carefully dragged out. Adonis is looking on in shock. None of the competitors have made a move since that brutal moment.

BR: Hey…that’s a little strange…hasn’t it been long enough that he should be in the match?
MH: Nah! Our people don’t make mistakes like that! He’ll be in the match when he’s supposed to be in the match!
BR: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m getting word now that Black Velvet is being taken to a nearby hospital. We’ll give you updates on his condition as soon as we have them.

The lights flash above the chambers, but they stop on a chamber that’s already open. Liam shrugs an innocent shrug, and then continues to watch the other three beat the crap out of each other.
BR: What? This is bullcrap. That has to be a malfunction. Can it really choose a pod that is empty?
MH: I don't know. This is the first ThunderDome match! I think it seems fair.
Adonis gets to his feet and removes one of the coverings of the turnbuckle. Rory stands up, and runs over, but Adonis hits a drop toe hold, sending Rory face first into the exposed turnbuckle. Rory stars bleeding from the nose.

MH: Wait, what’s that?
BR: OH god! It’s Kodiak! Kodiak just climbed through the hole that Black Velvet left!
Liam points behind Adonis, and Adonis turns around. BEAST MODE!
MH: Kodiak just hit the BEAST MODE on Adonis!
BR: Damn Velvets fat ass! This chamber was meant to stop this horse shit!
MH: Calm down old man. It's all legal!
Kodiak drags the body of Matthias over onto Adonis, and the referee counts.
One…

THRE-NO! KICKOUT!
BR: NO! Adonis kicked out at the 2.9 mark! What an impressive move by Adonis! Not many people kick out after Kodiak has hit BEAST MODE on them!

He looks at Matthias and hits a SPOTLIGHT STRIKE! Liam is standing tall over both of the men remaining in the match, as well as Sean Merciless. He helps Kodiak to his feet and instructs him to get Sean Merciless out of the chamber. Kodiak complies, dragging the large man through the hold that Black Velvet left.
Matthias and Rory slowly get to their feet. Liam goes to punch Rory, but Rory blocks it, and throws a right of his own. Liam shakes off the punch and goes to strike Matthias. Matthias blocks it as well, and throws a right. Liam looks at the two, and the two make eye contact. They nod to each other and bump fists realizing the situation.
BR: They know whats going on here! If one of them eliminates the World Champion, then the title will go home with somebody else!
The crowd starts to realize this as well and starts to cheer for Matthias and Rory.
Matthias and Rory start to swing at Liam but Rory turns his fist on Matthias instead. Liam is stunned. Rory picks Matthias up and hits the CARTE BLANCHE!
BR: Rory just fooled Matthias into thinking he was going to work with him, and then turned his back on him! What a jerk!
MH: What a genius, you mean!
Rory Blaze smiles at Liam, and jumps down through the hole in the steel grate as Liam goes for the cover on Matthias.

BR: This is going to be amazing match!
MH: I can’t wait to see Liam retain his title here tonight.
BR: There’s no way that jerk is going to keep his title with all the amazing competitors in this match.
"Been To Hell" by Hollywood Undead blasts through the speakers. Arena gets dark as crowd starts to boo. A spotlight runs all over the arena and stops at Jason Drago who is standing among the crowd in upper deck. He has his signature kendo stick with him. He walks down the stairs as the crowd continues to boo.
He jumps over the barricade and takes a look at the crowd. He puts the kendo stick down and enters the ring. Drago goes to the turnbuckle and climbs on middle rope. He poses as the crowd still boos. The referee looks at a sheet of paper and guide him into a chamber pod.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 221 pounds… JASON DRAGO!
MH: Looks like Drago is getting locked up in one of the chambers.
BR: That’s a perfect place for Drago, in a cell.
MH: His biggest opportunity in his life happens right now.
The sound of a pipe organ begins to fill the arena as the crowd rises to its feet. Every few seconds, the pipe organ increases up the musical scale by one note. Suddenly, as the pipe organ hits it’s dramatic note, the lights go out. Pyro then begins to envelop the stage for 10 seconds. When it subsides, the final tier of Dancing Mad is playing throughout the arena. Nine seconds in, the lights shoot back on and Matthias Barrows is standing in the ring with his arms straight back and his fists at the side of his ribs. Stacy Barrows and Gary the Assassin appear from behind the curtain a few seconds later, and the three of them slowly start to walk towards the ring. When they get to the bottom of the ramp, Stacy and Gary walk over to the steps. As Matthias hops up onto the ring apron, he throws his head back while hanging on the top rope and fireworks erupt above the ring as the song hits it’s somber half. Matthias then enters the ring and hopes onto the second turnbuckle. He hangs his right hand with a curled elbow and thrusts his left arm, palm-out, straight down before extending both arms out to the side while the crowd takes pictures. The referee guides him into a chamber.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, being accompanied by Gary The Assassin and Stacy Barrows, hailing from Reno, Nevada, weighing in at 241 pounds, he is the AWS Television Champion... MATTHIAS BARROWS!
MH: Matthias is also in a chamber. I wonder how they chose who would be in the ring first?
BR: I guess they drew lots.
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. When he gets in the ring Rory is guided into a chamber.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, the current AWS Hardcore champion, hailing from the Jersey Shore, weighing in at 236 pounds... RORY BLAZE!
BR: Rory hasn’t been heard from in a week, but here he is!
MH: Probably would have been better if we had continued to not hear from him. But there he goes, locked up in a chamber as well.
Jake's Entrance video fills the television screen. Jake is staring into a mirror, and as the glass cracks in the music his expression shifts from a smirk to a sinister smile. The camera then shifts to the ramp, where Jake Adonis comes out. He saunters out to the ramp and gyrates his hips once before holding up his hands, his fingers forming a J and an A together. Pyro goes off and then he makes his way down to the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing next, representing The Anarchy, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 245 pounds... JAKE ADONIS!
BR: Looks like Jake is going to start. What if Black Velvet starts as well? What are they going to do? Are they going to beat the crap out of each other?
MH: God I hope so.
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
BR: Here comes the Purple Pimp!
MH: Here comes Fat Albert.
BR: Well, you did hear that he’s going to play Fat Albert in the new movie, didn’t you? He said so himself this week!
MH: Jesus…the role is certainly fitting.
BR: And he's leaning on the ropes? Does this mean that Jake and Black drew to start the match?
"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits hits over the speakers and after a few moments, Liam McAllister steps out amid a chorus of boos. Liam sports is still sporting a cast from earlier in the month as well as some new bandages around his ribs courtesy of Sean Merciless, Matthias Barrows and Rory Blaze. He steps out alongside Kodiak Winters, clad in his red and yellow tights, black knee pads, and yellow kickpads over black boots. Liam wears the AWS World Heavyweight title around his waist as he strolls to the ring, soaking in the boos.
Liam steps into the ThunderDome match staring at all his opponents one by one flashing his World title to them before he hands it over to the referee. The referee guides Liam into a pod as Liam smirks.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing last, currently on his way to the ring, the current AWS World Heavyweight champion, from Manchester, England, weighing in at 205 pounds... LIAM McALLISTER!
BR: Are you kidding me? The champion gets to sit his ass in a pod from the start?
MH: Are you really mad at random draw? So you're mad a math? Really?
Black Velvet and Jake Adonis start in the ring. They look at the four other competitors and turn to each other, and shrug. They lock up, and then quickly release, looking around and laughing. Jake goes and sits on the turnbuckle facing Liam, taunting him, and Black Velvet goes up the chamber containing Drago, mocking the man.
BR: It looks like they’re not going to even bother fighting each other. They’re going to wait for the next competitor to enter the ring and destroy them. What a double handed tactic.
MH: What a smart tactic you mean! These guys are geniuses!
BR: It’s despicable.
MH: Shut up Buddy, it’s the smartest thing we’ve seen here tonight.
They relax, gaining some extra rest after the hellacious tables match that they went through.

JASON DRAGO'S POD OPENS
Jason’s cell opens up and he flys out of it, hitting lefts and rights on Black Velvet. Black Velvet tries to fight back, but was unprepared for Mr. Badass to have come out like a honey badger fighting so strong. Drago turns his attention away from Black Velvet and finds himself on the receiving end of a vicious WORLDS SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSEKICK.
BR: The numbers game was going to be too much for Drago to compete with.
MH: What a great move from Black Adonis. Get Drago to focus his attention on one of them, and have the other hit his finisher to take him out. Genius!
Black Velvet covers Drago.
One….
Two…..
THRE-KICKOUT!
BR: NO! Drago kicks out at the last moment! There is so much at stake in this match, he certainly wasn’t going to give up!

One…
Black Velvet kicks out.

MATTHIAS BARROWS POD OPENS
The lights flash around the chambers and Matthias is released! He charges out of his cell and breaks up the cover of Adonis on Drago!
BR: Why would Matthias prevent Drago from being eliminated?
MH: He probably didn’t want to be the sole target of Black Adonis. If Drago had been eliminated, he would have been in a two on one situation. At least now its two on one on one.
BR: I think you're right. Matthias surely would have been eliminated right away being alone with Black Adonis.
Matthias leaps up and hits a jumping TOOTH CHIPPER on Black Velvet! Velvet flies backwards and ends up against the turnbuckles. Velvet puts a hand to his jaw as Drago stands up and rushes to the corner Velvet is in, hitting a vicious drop kick against the larger man. Velvet falls to the ground and locks in the CIGAR CITY STRETCH on Black Velvet! Velvet is struggling with the pain of the move.
BR: There are no rope breaks here, so Velvet either has to escape or tap out!
Drago hoists up the leverage on the move, and Velvet yells out in pain. Adonis rushes over and kicks Drago in the head, breaking up the hold.
MH: It’s hard to eliminate one of them without eliminating them both at the same time. They’re going to keep covering for each other.
Velvet is still on the ground, now joined by Drago. Matthias turns his attention to Adonis, and lifts Adonis up on his shoulders.
BR: He’s looking to eliminate Adonis right now!
Over on the other side, Drago has locked in the CIGAR CITY STRETCH again on Black Velvet! Velvet is trying his best to break out of it, but Drago has the advantage.
BR: Looks like Black Velvet severely underestimated Jason Drago!
Matthias hits the 10-SP! He immediately moves to cover Adonis.
One…

Black Velvet breaks out of the hold and hurls Drago across the ring into the cover, disrupting the count.
BR: Quick thinking by Velvet, using Drago as a weapon!
Black Velvet yells “ENOUGH!” And picks up Drago, tossing him out of the ring and onto the steel flooring around the ring. Drago lands hard on the unforgiving steel, and Velvet climbs over the ropes, and stomps on Drago. Velvet lifts up Drago again and Irish whips him into the chamber that used to contain him.

Sam Hyde makes his way down to the chamber, and circles it to the side that Jason Drago is on. Drago is lying against the chain link wall of the chamber, little cuts all over his body dripping blood. Sam smiles a vicious smile as he reaches into the bag that he is holding. He pulls something out of it, little flakes falling all over the place.
MH: That looks like….. salt?
BR: Oh my god.
Sam looks around at the crowd and then launches the salt at Jason Drago. Jason screams in agony as the salt gets into all the cuts that he just suffered. He screams and looks around for where the attack came from. Sam is laughing sadistically from the side of the Dome. Jason turns around and runs into another vicious WORLDS SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSEKICK from Jake Adonis. Jake turns and hits a WORLDS SEXIEST ROUNDHOUSEKICK on Matthias as well. Drago and Matthias are down. Velvet and Jake are still up. They look back and forth from Matthias to Drago, and then Velvet points to Drago. Jake lifts him up and Velvet swings him over his shoulder. Velvet drops him with a brutal KING SIZE CRUSH right on the steel!
BR: That such a punishing move! I don’t know how Drago is going to kick out after everything that has been inflicted on him.
MH: But look how much damage they’ve had to inflict on Drago to keep him down! Clearly this many is living up to his name of Mr. Badass!

The lights shine around the arena again, but once again lands on an empty pod.
MH: Wait, what’s that?
BR: OH god! It’s Kodiak! Kodiak just climbed through the hole that Black Velvet left!
Liam points behind Adonis, and Adonis turns around. BEAST MODE!
MH: Kodiak just hit the BEAST MODE on Adonis!
BR: Damn Velvets fat ass! This chamber was meant to stop this horse shit!
MH: Calm down old man. It's all legal!
Kodiak drags the body of Matthias over onto Adonis, and the referee counts.

Two….
THRE-NO! KICKOUT!
BR: NO! Adonis kicked out at the 2.9 mark! What an impressive move by Adonis! Not many people kick out after Kodiak has hit BEAST MODE on them!
MH: Oh god! Here comes Sean Merciless through that same hole!
Kodiak turns around and Sean Merciless throws him up in the air, hitting a MUSHROOM CLOUD on Kodiak! He then looks to Matthias, who has risen to his feet. Matthias points to Adonis, and Sean Merciless picks Adonis up. Another MUSHROOM CLOUD!
Matthias covers Adonis again.

THREE! Jake Adonis is out cold. Kodiak pick up his carcass and tosses it through the hole in the steel floor.
RING ANNOUNCER: Jake Adonis has been eliminated!
Matthias points to Rory, and Sean grabs Rory by the hair. Rory swings his fist up and hits a massive LOW BLOW on Sean Merciless! Sean drops to his knees and Rory swings his fist again, delivering a massive uppercut to the 400lb man.
The countdown begins again...

The lights flash around the arena again, and finally they stop at Liam McAllister’s chamber. Liam strolls out, looking at the bodies of Sean, Kodiak and Rory. He looks at Matthias and hits a SPOTLIGHT STRIKE! Liam is standing tall over both of the men remaining in the match, as well as Sean Merciless. He helps Kodiak to his feet and instructs him to get Sean Merciless out of the chamber. Kodiak complies, dragging the large man through the hold that Black Velvet left.
Matthias and Rory slowly get to their feet. Liam goes to punch Rory, but Rory blocks it, and throws a right of his own. Liam shakes off the punch and goes to strike Matthias. Matthias blocks it as well, and throws a right. Liam looks at the two, and the two make eye contact. They nod to each other and bump fists realizing the situation.
BR: They know whats going on here! If one of them eliminates the World Champion, then the title will go home with somebody else!
The crowd starts to realize this as well and starts to cheer for Matthias and Rory.
Matthias and Rory start to swing at Liam but Rory turns his fist on Matthias instead. Liam is stunned. Rory picks Matthias up and hits the CARTE BLANCHE!
BR: Rory just fooled Matthias into thinking he was going to work with him, and then turned his back on him! What a jerk!
MH: What a genius, you mean!
Rory Blaze smiles at Liam, and jumps down through the hole in the steel grate as Liam goes for the cover on Matthias.
One…
BR: Where is is Rory going? He just stabbed Matthias in the back!
Two…
THREE!
RING ANNOUNCER: Matthias Barrows has been eliminated!
BR: It's technically down to just Liam McAllister and Rory Blaze but Rory is walking up the ramp!
Liam just stands there smirking at Rory who is walking behind the curtain.
The referee shrugs his shoulders and calls for the bell.
RING ANNOUNCER: Rory Blaze has been eliminated!
RING ANNOUNCER: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILLLLLLLL THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!! LIAAAAAAAMMM MCCAAAAAALLLLISSSTTTERRRRRR!!!!
