-[Fade in]-

-[backstage]-

We Find TKOW President Dave Rave, dressed for business, as he arrives at the office of Soulfly. He opens the door and steps in. HE appears to be in shock because...

No ones in it.

Rave looks around the office, searching for someone that isn't their. He steps out, and luckily sees The CEO. D-Matic, not Soulfly.

Rave:Hey D, where's everyone at? We're supposed to be having a FIRM meeting before the show starts?

D-matic:yea Dread, its at yo place

Rave appears a bit confused

Rave:My office?

D-matic:Yea playa

Rave starts to walk down the hall to his office, D-matic close behind. Rave opens the door, and stares in shock at what he sees....

His desk has been removed, and replace with a hot tub. in the hot tub is Soulfly, sipping on some hennessey, with his arm around Miranda. A massage table is to the right, Al is lying across it on his stomach, recieving a back rub from a busty blonde. Eric is sitting on a nearby chair, talking on a cell phone.

D-matic: awww shit!

D-matic sees the 4 foot glass bong in the corner and he immediatly heads over to it. Rave enters the room, wondering what happened to his office.

Rave:What the hell is all this?

He's pissed, as anyone can tell. But that doesn't seem to bother anyone else.

Fly:it's a celebration!

Rave:What kind of celebration requires MY office to be turned into...into this?

Fly:You haven't been watchign TV this week? This is to celebrate the end of Section 8.

Rave rolls his eyes.

Rave:Do you really think that it's worth tearing apart MY office for that?

Fly:You haven't been watching them at each others throats all weeks. The Birds have left their "nest" because of it. Section 8 is as good as dead. And It's all because of me! I killed Section 8. I will be known as the man that killed Section 8. I can't wait to see it unfold tonight, I really can't wait to see them rip each others spines out.

Rave:Speaking of tonight, you've handled the custom Chaos Contendership, but you need to name a contender for the World Title.

Fly:I'll name a contender when I Damn well please, and right now I'm basking in enjoyment from splitting up Section 8 without having to do a damn thing.

Rave is getting annoyed.

Rave:Look, theirs going to be a contender named tonight, regardless if it's YOU naming the contender, or ME picking the man that is definately standing out as the top contender for the title, Pho...

FlyDon't say his name in my presence

Rave:Then you better make a decision now, or I'm booking you vs Him for Forever. So what's it going to be Champ.

Fly looks nervouos, he hadn't expected this, he glances over at his world title, sitting on a table next to the Custom Chaos title. Suddenly a smile spreads across his face.

Fly:Fine, I'll be heading to the ring shortly to announce the number one contender.

Rave:Good, I'm glad we could reach an agreement, I'll be anxiously awaiting your announcement.

Rave walks out of the room, the door shutting behind him.

Fly:I got an ace up my sleeve Dave, an ace indeed...

The High Voltage Logo flashes across the Titan Tron, Before the TKOW intro video begins to roll as "High VOtlage" by Linkin Park blasts across the arena. Strobe lights go off, giving the place a party vibe

Signs are spotted across arena...

"Tanner is god" "Welcome Duke" "Feel The wood Jace" "Aaron, dump Katie!" "I heart Madison" "Dusty still sucks"

Tito:Hi I'm Tito Poppi and welcome to Montreal, Canada for TKOW High Voltage! We have an incredible show in store as the TKOW Tag Team Championship is on the line tonight as the Birds of Prey face Big Buisness, Phoenix & TH Power in a match signed by SOulfly at TC!

Bill:And thats not to mention that Jace Mingla gets to destroy Aaron Mc tonight in a tables match for the right to face Hardcore Al for the Custom Chaos Championshipp

Tito:And we just heard right before we went on the air that we will find out who faces Soulfly for the World Title at FOrever tonight!

Vega:it won't matter, Flys not losing the title anytime soon.

Front 242 hits the speakers and as the intro to the song hits the lights dim to a dark blue and the fans get up on there feet. The lights then starts flashing until about 50 seconds into the song as Dave Havoc comes out and he stays at the top of the ramp. He poses with his arms out stretched for a few seconds before he walks down the ramp slapping hands with the fans.

He rolls into the ring and he gets down onto one knee and he waits there as the fans cheer and the lights start to flash along with the song. Suddenly at around Two Minuets and Forty seconds Havoc shoots up raises his hand in the air as the fans throw streamers into the ring and start to cheer Havoc. Havoc stretches out as the song keeps on going and the ref cleans the ring of the streamers.

"Lucia vs Zophar" from Noriyuki Iwadare starts to play as the lights dim down slightly. Smoke comes up from three small spots on the left side of the entrance and three on the right side of the entrance. The lights starts to get a dark purple tone of color as Ghalleon and Sammie then starts to make their way out through the smoke filled entrance. Ghalleon then stops infront of the entrance and lowers his head. He then extends his arms out a little bit above his shoulder line. He then lifts his head back up and raises his arms up. Fireworks starts to go off down to the entrance ramp as he start to walk to the ring with Sammie.

On the MegaTron, scenes from some of Ghalleon's past matches are shown. Some of the including are the mixed tag match at TKOW Forever, fighting 'Wildcat' Lynn Brewster in UCW, the Karnij match at Halloween Hijinks, the Super Kick Challenge at Megabowl 3, the King of the Jungle 2004 match and various others. On the Khaos Tron, vairous moves that Ghalleon does are shown done to his opponets.

When Ghalleon and Sammie gets to the ring, dry ice steam comes out from under the ring as Ghalleon and Sammie stands in the middle of the ring. Ghalleon then goes over to one of the corners and raises up his arms and then gets off of the corner turnbuckles and waits for his opponet as Sammie leaves to go to ringside. The lights then starts to come back on.

Tito: Welcome back ringside! As you can see Ghalleon and Dave Havoc are ready to start this match!

Vega: A win over Ghalleon will do quite well for Havoc as both Violent Reaction members seem ready to embark on some prestige as singles wrestles as well as tag wrestlers.

Bill: Eh?.I?m not convinced. I still can?t get over that handshake BS with the Birds of Prey. I mean, they?re supposed to be VIOLENT reaction. That was pretty weak.

Tito: Well?some people would agree with you Bill.

Bill: Yeah, the smart people.

Tito: There is one other factor going into this contest though. Rumor abounds that dave Havoc may have a career threatening injury hanging over his head.

Vega: I heard that also. But not even the experts are quite sure of the exact severity of Dave?s trauma.

The bell rings and Ghalleon launches himself at Dave with a spinning wheel kick that catches him in the face!

Tito: WHOA! Ghalleon like a bat out of hell!

Dave gets to his feet quickly and Ghalleon tries to drop kick him, but Dave swats him down. Ghalleon kips up and Dave goes for a clothesline, Ghalleon catches his arm and tries to irish whip him, Dave plants himself and halts his forward momentum. He kicks Ghalleon in the gut and still holding Ghalleon?s arm quick steps up the turnbuckle to the top rope and launches off with a huge flying arm drag!

Vega: WOW!

The fans pop at this frenzied display of action right off the bat. Ghalleon rolls to his knees, cranking his shoulder after the deep arm drag. Dave beckons for Ghalleon to bring it, and he does, looking like he is about to lock up with Dave but sinking a knee deep into Dave?s gut instead, and then following that up with a thunderous European uppercut. Dave falls back against the ropes and Ghalleon clotheslines him over the top.

Ghalleon waits for Dave to get to his feet before?.OH WOW! Ghalleon hits a suicide dive through the ropes on Dave and both men his the mat surrounding the ring. The ref starts to count them down, but only reaches 3 before Ghalleon rolls Dave back into the ring. Dave gets up and starts to put some distance between him and his opponent to recover, but Ghalleon continues his assult with a series of right hands to the head, but Dave is finally able to counter with a drop toe hold that plants Ghalleon?s throat across the bottom rope. Ghalleon clutches his throat and Dave sizes up his opponent.

Tito: That was a canny move by the Violent Reaction member!

Dave gets to the middle turnbuckle and takes flight, hitting Ghalleon across the throat with a flying leg drop. Dave rolls Ghalleon up for the pin!

1?no, Ghalleon kicks out!

Dave picks Ghalleon up and snap suplexes him with authority. He stays on his downed opponent with a rolling leg lock, but Ghalleon quickly grabs the bottom rope. Dave pulls Ghalleon back towards the middle of the ring but Ghalleon boots him in the face, which gives him a chance to get to a standing position.

Ghalleon runs at Dave, but Dave sidesteps him and clubs him from behind with a vicious forearm, followed by a run to the ropes and a springboard knee to the head that rocks Ghalleon! Ghalleon falls into the corner, holding the side of his head and Dave follows that up with a huge running splash that crushes Ghalleon into the turnbuckle. Dave waits a moment to catch his breath after another frenzied and unorthodox attack, and tries to put the boots to Ghalleon, but Ghalleon gets his hand behind Dave?s base leg and sweeps the leg out from under him, following that up with a high leaping elbow drop to the back of Dave?s head?and then that gets followed up by a lightning fast standing shooting star press!

Bill: Momentum shift!

Tito: Good God! What an attack!

Ghalleon goes for the pin!

1?

2?NO! Dave kicks out!

Ghalleon drags Dave up again and?.WAIT! He?s going for the Overdrive!!

Tito: IT?S OVER!

But when Galleon lifts Dave up into the powerbomb position Dave wraps his legs around Ghalleon?s head and counters into a hurricanrana! Ghalleon is smacked down to the mat in a flash and Dave reaches back and pulls Ghalleon?s legs up into a pin!

1?

2?

3?WAIT! Ghalleon kicks out!

Vega: What a close call?.what reversals we?re seeing in this match!

Tito: Dave is throwing caution to the wind. It could pay off in this match?but for all we know he is causing even more nerve damage to his lower back.

Both men shoot to their feet and Ghalleon irish whips Dave. Dave hits the ropes and Ghalleon hits Dave with a brutal shoulder block! Ghalleon shoots up to the top rope and looks to be doing for a moonsault?.but Dave rolls out of the way?and Ghalleon lands on his feet! Dave gets up, but he doesn?t realize that Ghalleon landed gracefully and as he turns around he?s met with a jumping, swinging DDT from Ghalleon! Ghalleon pins again.

1?

2?Dave kicks out!

Ghalleon picks Dave up and hits a bridging suplex on him?.yet another pin!


1?

2?.DAVE KICKS OUT AGAIN!

This time, when Dave kicks out he pulls himself up with the ropes and Ghalleon charges, but Dave sends Ghalleon to the outside by pulling the top rope down and low bridging him. Dave follows this up with a snap senton splash over the top rope, but when he hits Ghalleon he locks his legs again and turns it into another hurricanrana?.OR AT LEAST HE TRIES TO!! Ghalleon maintains his standing position and uses Dave?s own momentum to drive him into the floor with a sitout powerbomb from Dave?s hurricanrana position!!

Bill: DAMN!! If Dave?s back wasn?t screwed before it is now!!

Tito: Bill, that?s hardly a laughing matter, Dave could be crippled! His career could be over!!

Vega: Wait?I think Havoc is stirring.

Dave writhes on the floor as Ghalleon picks himself up. The ref starts counting, but again Ghalleon ceases the count by picking Dave up and throwing him through the middle ropes. Ghalleon slides in under the bottom rope and hits a low standing dropkick to Dave?s face before trying to pin him again.

1?

2?

3?NO! Dave just won?t stay down!!

Vega: Havoc isn?t giving up!

Tito: Yeah?but he might be running out of gas, especially after that brutal powerbomb on the outside.

Ghalleon picks Dave up again, but out of desperation Dave rolls Ghalleon up into a small package!

1?

2?NOPE! Ghalleon isn?t going down that easy.

Ghalleon responds to this by kicking Dave down to the mat and chaining that into an elbow drop to Dave?s knee. He then follows that up by working on the knee, pulling Dave?s foot up into a knee bar, and elbowing the knee with his free arm as he does so! But Dave won?t give up!! Frustrated, Ghalleon lets go of the hold and locks in a kneeling front chancery on Dave, keeping his weight on top of Dave and thrusting in at Dave?s head with a series of knee blows. Some of them connect with the top of Dave?s head!

Tito: Damn! Ghalleon almost seems to be taking some pages out of a UFC playbook here. Highly unusual for him!

Ghalleon rolls Dave over and tries to pin him, but Dave reaches up and grabs a heaping handful of Ghalleon?s hair!

Ref: Hey! Let go of the hair!!

Dave picks himself up and still holding the hair he unleashes with a number of closed fist blows to Ghalleon?s face, busting open his opponent?s lip in the process!

Tito: Look at those brutal shots!

Bill: Yeah?and look at that ref do jack shit about the hair pull!!

Dave lets go of Ghalleon?s hair to avoid getting DQ?ed, but he takes the opportunity to hit an evenflow DDT on Ghalleon that plants him to the mat! Dave takes a moment to shake the cobwebs from his head before again climbing to the top rope!

Vega: Looks like the Codex!

Dave does indeed signal for the Codex!! He takes flight?.BUT GHALLEON KIPS UP TO HIS FEET AND COUNTERS WITH A DROPKICK TO DAVE MID FLIGHT!

Bill: OH BABY! He had no choice but to eat that shit! HAHA!!

Dave clutches his stomach in a great deal of pain when he hits the mat!!

Ghalleon begins crawling over to Dave for the pin when someone explodes into the ring!!

Tito: Dammit, it?s Salazar!!

Ghalleon gets to his feet and tries to fight off Salazar, but Salazar got the jump on him too fast. He hits the Sky High on Ghalleon, dropping him to the mat with authority!!

Vega: Thank God the Firm is gonna take care of his ass later tonight!

Salazar sinks to his knees in front of Ghalleon, admiring his handiwork with a grim, satisfied look on his face. After looking upon the destruction for a moment, he is forced to his feet by the ref, who is screaming at Salazar, ordering him out of the ring and to the back. Three more refs run in from the back and help to escort Salazar out of here, and Salazar goes without a fight. By this point, Dave has dragged himself up, and he catches the eye of the ref right before the ref declares the match a DQ loss for Dave.

Dave (struggling): Don?t do this!!

Tito: Sorry Dave, rules are rules.

Ghalleon is also getting to his feet by now and he puts his hand on the ref?s shoulder and spins him around to face him. Ghalleon shakes his head ?no?.

Tito: They both want to keep fighting. What sportsmanship!

Bill: More like stupidity!! Ghalleon could have picked up the win?and Dave is just further aggravating his back. What are they, retarded?!

The ref looks confused as hell, but nonetheless pulls his call and allows the fight to continue. Dave and Ghalleon lock up and Ghalleon quickly parlays it into an armbar. Dave rolls out of it, but he?s clearly a wounded animal. Ghalleon gets back on him with another lockup, pushing Dave into the corner. But as they near the corner Dave kicks back against the turnbuckle and in so doing both men fall over. Dave falls on top of Ghalleon and he rolls Ghalleon up!

1?Ghalleon kicks out!

Vega: That was total desperation there.

Ghalleon picks Dave up after kicking out. Dave fights back with a closed fist blow, but Ghalleon counters into a quick uppercut that stuns Dave, followed by a quick follow through neck breaker, followed up by yet another standing shooting star press! Ghalleon goes for the pin!

1?

2?


3?STILL NO! Dave kicks out!!

Ghalleon is looking frustrated again, he needs to end this! He reels back and waits for Dave to get up?he?s signaling for the Ragnarok!! Dave gets up and Ghalleon unleashes?.BUT Dave ducks!! Dave sneaks in with a wra around waist lock, but Ghalleon fights out with some elbows. Dave falls against the ropes and shakes the cobwebs off. But then Dave abruptly grabs the ropes and leaps up onto the second rope! He?s looks like he?s going for a corkscrew plancha of some kind!!!

WAIT!! OH MY GOD!!! Ghalleon hits the Ragnarok out of nowhere, blasting Dave right in the spine with the move!!! The crowd gasps!!

Tito: Good God!!!

Ghalleon sinks down for the pin!!

1?

2?

3!!! Ghalleon wins!!

Tito: Dave?s back?good lord, that was a wicked shot!!

Ghalleon?s music hits, but Dave isn?t moving. Ghalleon goes to the outside and celebrates a little with Sammie before going to the back.

Tito: That last move must have been a calculated strike against Dave?s weak point.

Bill: I gotta hand it to Ghalleon, when he wanted to end this thing?he sure as hell ENDED it?.for Dave that is!!! HAHA!!

The ref walks over to check on Dave. Dave throws his arm around the ref?s neck and the ref helps him up. Dave seems to be moving with some assistance.

Tito: Well, that seems to be a good sign. At least he?s walking.

Bill: Yeah, but Dave?s luck won?t last. This is gonna bite him in the ass sooner or later!

"Go to sleep" plays, as The tricked out GOlf Cart rides out from the back, Fly behind the wheel, D-matic riding shotgun, and Eric and Al on the back. AL is waving at all the ladies and pointing to his title as the cart pulls to a stop at the end of the ramp.

The group enter the ring, to the jeers from the crowd. Fly takes a microphone...

Fly - Good Evening Bitches

The crowd doesn't like to be refered to as "bitches"

Fly - I know you're all expecting me to announce a number one contender for the world title, but first off I would like to intorduce you to the newest member of The FIRM........Badstar Fucking Kahn!

"St Anger" plays as Kahn comes running out, the crowd is obviously displeased at this announcement, resulting in Kahn flipping off several crowd members and trash talking them before he enters the ring and starts exchanging dap with the boys in the firm.

Fly - And tonight, when Kahn and Eric destory Little miss whore and her loverboy, and we squash DNA, we will proove once again, why we run this shit....now onto what you 've all been waiting for....Who gets to face me at Forever. Who gets a shot at the world title.

Fly pauses for dramatic effect.

Fly - The man that needs to face me, needs to be a proven winner, someone that is capable of winnign championship belts, and someone that is worthy enough to enter the ring with me....So I've decided that the person who faces me at Forever.

he pauses once again.

Fly - is the man that is wearing The Custom Chaos belt.

Al looks up in shock at the announcement, as theirs a mixed response from the crowd. Al smiles and shakes Flys hand, telling him not to get used to having that title.

Soulfly finishes speaking and hands the microphone over to Eric who is sitting on the top turnbuckle and looking out to the crowd.

Eric: Hello my fellow Canadians.

The crowd cheers for the countryman

Eric: As some of you may remember I issued a challenge to the *uses his hands to make quotation marks* ?Legend Extreme Killer Phil.? But seeing as his doctors have advised him not to wrestler and everyone knows Phil is a chicken so that means that unfortunately I will not be fighting at TKOW Forever.

Eric shakes his head as if he is disappointed to have the night off as Al puts a hand on his shoulder to comfort him. Just then ?Down With The Sickness? hits as EKP steps through the curtain with his own microphone.

EKP: Eric ?. Shut the Hell Up

The crowd cheers for the TKOW Legend as he continues

EKP: It is true that my doctors have told me I should not wrestle but they will not stop me from kicking your ass at TKOW Forever.

The crowd explodes as Eric?s expression changes to one of complete shock at Phil?s acceptance. Soulfly walks over and whispers something into Eric?s ear and a smile comes across the faces of both men. Soulfly takes the mic and turns toward Phil.

Soulfly: Well seeing as you will need a warm up match for Forever since you haven?t wrestled in awhile I am booking Extreme Killer Phil vs. Jace Mingla for High Voltage.

Phil looks on pissed and leaves the ramp way as The Firm celebrates in the ring. ?Go To Sleep? plays as The Firm jumps back onto the Golf Cart and makes their way back up the rampway.

[TKOW Board]

Feral Destruction vs FIRM (Eric Mitchell & BadStar Kahn)

Quick Results

Eric and Wildcat start off in the ring, bow & Collar lock, Eric whips her in the ropes. Spinebuster. Elbow Drop. Several elbow drops. karnij gets pissed and tries to enter the ring, the ref stops him, allowing Kahn to climb up to and dive off with a top rope bodysplash on wildcat as Eric exits the ring. the ref thinks they made a legit exchange when he turns to see Kahn applying an armbar to wildcat.

kahn pulls her up and hits a vertical suplex, then another, then he whips her into the ropes and dropkicks her. he starts stomping at her head, karnij again tries to intervene, allowign for Eric to quickly enter the ring and he two starts stomping at her as Kahn slides out.

Eric pulls her to a vertical base and sets her up for a powerbomb, but she punchs away before DDTing him to the mat, leaving them both out. Both partners reach for a tag. Wildcat inches closer, closer, closer. Inchs away. Eric gets to his feet, and runs over, and decks Karnij, knocking him off the apron. Eric drags Wildcat away from the corner, pulls her up and applies an abdominal stretch in front of the Firms corner. When the ref isnt in position, Eric reaches back and lets Kahn pull his hand applying additonal pressure. They do this 3 times before the ref finally catches it and makes him break the hold.

Eric whips Wildcat into the ropes, and she ducks it and hits a desperation Cat Scratch, leaving both men down. Wildcat inches closer, closer, closer tag made, karnij runs in and starts owning ass, for several minutes, with a abarrage of power moves on both Eric and Kahn. he sets up Eric for Total Carnage, when Khan low blows Karnij from behind. Wildcat doesnt like this and she runs in tackling Kahn. She sets him up for a Catatonic, when Eric clubs her from behind as he has recovered. She turns and ducks a clothesline from Eric. She sizes eric up for something, but Kahn dropkicks her sending her over the ropes. Kahn follows her out, Eric turns his attention to Karnij, and hits Death Awaits, for the 123.

Backstage, we see the office to the FIRM Global Enterprises Board of Directors. The door opens up and Dave Rave steps out, he has a manilla envelope in his hand. He seems to be lost in his own thoughts as he starts to walk down the hall.

Voice: Hey wait up!

Dave turns to see who was shouting at him, and a smile finds its way to his face. the crowd gives an enourmous pop when they see who it is.

Dave: Hey, whats up bro.

Jason Starr: I should ask you the same, you look like shit man.

Dave: I just have a lot on my mind.

Jason: I see...listen, their was something I wanted to talk to you about, brother to brother...

Dave nods his head

Dave: Ok, whats up?

Jason: What's up with you and The FIRM man?

Dave: What do you mean?

Jason: Come on man, you know that you don't belong with them. It's not you. Here take a look at this.

Jason removes what appears to be a photograph from his pockets and hands it to Dave

Jason: Remember that?

Dave looks it over.

Dave: Yea, it's when I defeated Soulfly at Christmas Chaos 2003.

Jason: That's not what Im talking about. Do You remember what you stood for back then? What you lived for? What you sought out to eliminate? Who YOU where and STILL are.

Rave seems to be mulling over this.

Jason: Look, Im not going to force you to choose sides, or force you to leave. I can't make your decisions for you. We've all made bad decisions in our pasts, but I'm just trying to look out for you, I think you're running with the wrong crowd.

Rave doesn't say anything, he keeps staring at the picture, thinking.

Jason: Look bro, whatever you do, just know that you have my support.

Dave looks up from the picture.

Dave: Thanks Jace.

The two lock up in a brotherly hug. After a moment they split.

Jason: Have you seen Adrian? I need to talk to him about something as well.

Dave: Don't tell me you and Kay...

Jason: No man! We're not fucking, and you know you'd be the first to know if I was.

Dave laughs at the remark.

Dave: I think he's in the Adrenaline Express lockerrom, I got some business to take care of so I'll catch you later.

The two part ways as we go to...

Richard Head: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall..."

[The house lights dim to black and spliced footage from Metal Gear Solid III appears on the screen.]

Revolver Ocelot: Hold it right there, traitor. Let's find out just how lucky you are.

(Ocelot reveals a bullet for his revolver. He loads the bullet)

Ocelot: Watch closely. (takes out three revolvers)

Ocelot: One of these three guns has a single bullet in it. I'm going to pull the trigger six times in a row. Are you ready?

(Ocelot juggles the three guns. Each time he pulls a trigger, Sokolov winces. The fifth time a trigger is pulled, Sokolov pisses his pants}

Ocelot: Looks like your luck hasn't run out yet.

{The sixth time, the gun fires and the screen shatters into a million pieces as Damageplan's "Moment of Truth" booms through the speakers.}

[There were times when I questioned my reasons
Thought I wouldn't last]

(black and white footage of Adrian Tanner matches flash across the screen)

[Seemed the hand of God held my head
Underwater
Somehow I fought back]

(footage of Adrian pinning Triple B for the Ring Syndicate Australian Heavyweight Championship)

[It's still not over yet
No, it won't let me quit]

(footage of Adrian getting powerbombed through the Aborigine announce table by the Hellhounds)

[Found myself more than just once
Praying down on my knees]

[My search for answers only led to more questions
Sometimes for faith you've got to bleed]

(footage of Adrian, bloody and battered, holding up the Australian Heavyweight title)

[By now I've bled my share
Now it's my turn to redeem]

*BOOM!*

(A huge blast of pyro engulfs the stage in flames)

[When it comes my way, I won't be scared
I've been waiting all my life]

(When the flames die down, Adrian Tanner Jr stands in the middle of the stage, head down, dressed in red "metallic effect" shorts with "AT" in gold letters on each side and an open red "metalic effect" ring jacket with the same, along with black elbow and knee pads. A referee's shirt finishes off his usually normal attire.)

Richard Head: "Introducing the special guest referee...Adrian Tanner Jr!!"

[Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth
And the true test is time]

(Black and white footage continues to play on the screen as Adrian begins his walk down the ramp)

[Give all you have because you believe
Sell your mortal soul]

(Footage of Adrian and Dave Rave brawling through the arena plays as Adrian continues to walk down the stage, slapping a couple hands on the way down)

[And if you're not a predator then, oh - you better pray
Bet it all now or fold]

(footage of Adrian nailing X with the "Best Damn Secondary Finisher, Period.")

[But there's still a danger there
Don't become one of them]

(At the last verse, Adrian raises his arms, throws his head back, and thousands of multicolered streamers shoot simultaniously from all for corners of the ring. Adrian takes off his ring jacket and slides into the ring.)

[When it comes my way, I won't be scared]

(footage of Adrian nailing various people with the Revolver)

[I've been waiting all my life]

(footage of Adrian holding up various Championships, stopping on the SWAT World Tag Team Championship)

[Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth
And the true test is time]

(In the ring, Adrian mounts the nearest turnbuckle, making the "gun" motion with left hand. He "cocks" and "fires," and then jumps down.)

"Barricades in Time" by Adema begins to play throughout the arena. The lights go down during the intro music. When the singing begins, pyros blast off at the entrance causing the curtains to light on fire(controlled of course). The lights come back dimly in a white haze and Dustin Hughes walks out of the entrance and stands beside the wall of fire and bows his head in a religious way and then walks down the ramp and onto the apron where he sees the referee. He stops in shock and then stares coldly at Adrian.

Dustin jumps off the apron and walks over to the announce table, grabbing a microphone. He then slides into the ring.

Dustin: "Well, well well. If it isn't "Mr. Morality" Adrian Tanner."

Adrian walks over to the edge of the ring and asks for a mic, which a stagehand hands him. He turns back around.

Adrian: "Hey look, it's Dustin Hughes: Professional Wifebeater."

Adrian looks calm, but cold, Dustin fumes.

Dustin: "Hey punk, you ever hear of a little thing called "mind your own fucking business?! What goes on between my wife and myself is our business. Noyt yours."

Adrian: "It became my business when you chose to televize near-r***ing your wife on TKOW fucking television!"

Both stare at each other for a time, before Dustin starts laughing, a slightly evil laugh.

Dustin: "Hehehahah! I think I get this now. I really do! Y'know, I was wrong about you Tanner, you're alright. See, I don't think this is about "morality" at all. No, I don't. I don't think you really care about being "moral" and all that junk. I think you want a piece of ass!"

The crowd gasps in shock, Adrian simply rolls his eyes.

Dustin: "Noo, I can see it Tanner. I don't think this is about "saving Cheshire." I think this is about you wanting Cheshire for your own! So you plan all these little things. You say all this shit about me, make me look bad, and then you swoop in and steal my wife from me! You want her, don't you?"

Dustin cackles evily and looks at Adrian who gives him a blank look.

Adrian: "While I wouldnt be surprised to know your wife's a whore...."

The crowd "ooohh's" at that comment, Dustin just continues to fume.

Adrian: "While that wouldnt surprise me....trust me Dust, if I wanted someone's wife, (turning his head to the crowd) and I don't, (turning back to Dustin) but if I did, I can assure I could do much better than her."

Adrian half-smirks as Dustin almost loses it, struggling to keep his cool. Suddenly, he appears calm again as he steps closer to Adrian so that they stand nose to nose.

Dustin: "Hey Tanner, wasnt there something you were gonna do to me tonight? Didnt you say something about "beating something out of me?" tonight?"

Dustin stares at Tanner, who says nothing, still glaring at him.

Dustin: "Well, why don't you go ahead and try it? See where it gets ya!"

Dustin drops his mic on the mat. Adrian looks out to the crowd, mouths "with pleasure" and nails Dustin with a swift right hand!

Both men trade punches in the middle of the ring before Adrian tackles Dustin to the mat, punching away at him on the ground. Dustin rolls Adrian over and returns the favor but Adrian quickly rolls over, but Dustin rolls over again! Dustin takes both hands and begins choking Adrian ruthlessly!

Tanner finally kicks Dustin off of him as referee's rush the ring dragging the two apart from each other.

"Dizzy" by Orgy kicks in as the CEO/World Heavyweight Champion Soulfly appears on the stage, mic in hand.

Soulfly: "You two babies need to calm your asses the hell down! Now, as much fun as it'd be to fire the both of ya right now, I think it'll be funner to see you two try to be civil during the match Dave and I set up for you guys. So, if you two can keep your hands off each other for a few minutes, we got a match that's supposed to be going on!"

Adrian and Dustin calm down a bit and the referees slowly leave the ring. Dustin feigns attacking Adrian again and then backs off, laughing.

Soulfly: "Good, now where the hell's the other guy in this match?"

The opening chords of "Violent Reaction" by American Head Charge kick in. when the song blasts into full pace the stage set basically explodes in a shower of sparks.

Tobias walks out calmly, wearing his specialty t-shirt. He looks at Soulfly for a moment before continuing. he walks down, occasionally giving a fan a high five, but other than that remaining completely calm.

Tobias slides under the bottom rope and stands in the middle of the ring, he crouches low and does a double cut-throat motion as the fans through orange streamers into the ring, littering the entire area, after the majority of streamers are thrown, Tobias walks back to his own corners, takes off his shirt, tosses it into the crowd, and waits for the bell to ring, staring at both Dustin and Adrian.

It?s clear even before the bell sounds that Dustin has his eyes on Tanner and Tanner waves back at him, drawing some laughs from the crowd. It looks like Dustin is muttering some unflattering remarks under his breath as the match begins. Dustin and Tobias lock up and Dustin, after some struggle, manages to get Tobias into the corner, where he breaks the hold and shoulder rams him deep into the turnbuckle, followed by a series of knife edge chops. Tanner moves in for a close look?.erm?.make that a really close look as he practically is standing right on top of the action!

Bill (laughing): Tanner, making sure those aren?t closed fists!

Dustin stops with the flurry of chops and stares down Tanner, who is clearly antagonizing by getting too close to the action. Tanner shrugs his shoulders and pretends like he doesn?t know what the problem is, but the distraction gives Tobias an opening! Tobias kicks Dustin brutally in the stomach, a move so fast and hard that Dustin doubles up.

Tito: That?s one thing Jace and Tobias have in common, both men hit fast and hard.

Bill: Awww?how cute. Like father, like son.

Tobias stays on the attack, with a series of punches?.which Adrian conveniently doesn?t call Tobias on. Toby sneaks in, lifts Dustin up and delivers a knee breaker.

Vega: Working on Dustin?s vertical base.

Once Tobias has Dustin on the mat he locks in a Texas Cloverleaf! Dustin starts crawling for the bottom rope and he makes it?but the ref is distracted.

Vega: What?s he doing?!

Tito: I?.uhhhh?..folks, I think Tanner is trying to get the folks in the front row to start up ?the wave?.

Meanwhile, Tobias is still not breaking the hold, even though Dustin has his hand firmly on the bottom rope. FINALLY, Tanner returns to the action and almost seems to reluctantly make Tobias break the hold. Tobias picks Dustin up and unleashes with a brutal euro uppercut that makes Dustin tipsy on his feet, followed by a quick vertical suplex, and once he has Dustin on the mat, he bootscrapes Dustin right in the face as he tries to get up. Dustin sinks back down again, holding his face. Toby picks him up again, and delivers another thunderous vertical! Tobias goes for the pin!

1,2, KICKOUT!

Tito: That was a fast count!!

Vega: Certainly was?.even Ray Charles coulda seen that.

Bill: Yeah, and he?s dead!!

Tobias knows he needs to work on Dustin some more, so he lifts him up again but Dustin counters with a knee lift, followed by a quick sit out face buster! He then follows that up with a fist drop, and then another fist drop! Dustin goes for the pin!

1???





2?KICKOUT!

Tito: And that count was slower than molasses!

Dustin, clearly upset now, gets up and in Tanner?s face. Tanner again acts innocent?.and AGAIN Tobias takes advantage of the situation by rolling Dustin up from behind!

1?KICKOUT!

Dustin immediately gets to his feet only to run into a stiff as hell spinning arm lariat from Toby that drops Hughes. Burden kicks Dustin onto his back and then picks up his leg, the same one he was working on before, lifts it up high and brings it crashing down onto the mat twice before synching in another Texas Cloverleaf!! Dustin struggles towards the ropes again, and after a full minute of suffering in the hold he crawls his way to the bottom rope?but Tanner is distracted again! He seems to be looking on the mat for something.

Bill: UH OH?.lost a contact! He better find that, he can?t call this thing down the middle if he can?t see anything!!

Vega: Your sarcasm is noted.

Bill: You mean it, for once, didn?t pass over your head Vega. HOLY CRAP!!

Tobias still has the hold locked in, and Tanner is gesturing for a mike?!!

Tanner (to the crowd): It?s alright folks! I thought I lost a contact, but it turns out it was in my eye the whole time!! On with the match!

Tito: Uh....Adrian?.the match never stopped!!

Adrian also seems to finally realize that Dustin is still locked in a hold and he makes Tobias break it. Dustin is clutching his knee and Tobias pulls him away from the rope, dropping a series of elbows down on the knee before turning him over again and trying to lock in a single leg boston crap, but Dustin escapes! He gets to his feet, favoring the knee, and fights back against Tobias, countering a punch with an arm trap neckbreaker!! Dustin goes to the ropes?.what?s this?.ROLLING THUNDER!! He splashes onto Tobias with authority and goes for the pin!


1?.




2?.KICKOUT! Another slow as hell count!

Dustin tries to get to his feet but Tobias chopblocks him back down, targeting the back of the bad knee. Tobias kicks at the leg before going for a leg lock, but Dustin manages to pull himself out of the ring before Tobias can synch it in fully.

1,2,3,4?

Tito: Whoa!

Adrian has a wide smile on his face as his super fast count disallows Dustin any hope of a breather. Dustin slides into the ring and shoves Tanner hard into the turnbuckle. Toby again tries to take advantage of the situation but Dustin surprises him with a superkick! Unfortunately, he used the bad leg as a base and he falls to the mat, holding his knee. Dustin pulls himself up using the ropes as Tobias starts to come around. Dustin irish whips Tobias into the corner and follows it up with a big splash. Tobias is reeling, and Dustin sets Tobias up and delivers a brutal superplex!! Dustin favors his knee for a few seconds before crawling on top of Tobias for the pin.

Dustin (to Tanner): Don?t fuck this up, asshole!!

Tito: Dustin is getting frustrated! Adrian better watch himself!

Adrian gets himself in position and counts again, this time it seems like a normal paced count!

1?


2?. TANNER STOPS COUNTING!!

Tanner rises to his feet immediately and holds his hand like he just got a cramp!

Dustin: Oh fuck this!!

Dustin shoves Tanner again and looks like he?s going to hit Adrian!

Bill: Here it goes!!!

But instead of hitting Adrian, he spits in his face and returns his attention to the match!

Vega: Dustin knew hitting Adrian would be a DQ, so he went for the next best thing!!

Adrian looks angered now. He wipes the spit off on his ref jersey, no longer looking like he?s having fun.

Dustin picks Tobias up again and Tobias lands another savage kick, which he follows with a hard closed fist blow to the head, followed by another, and then a neckbreaker. Tobias wrenches up Dustin hard and looks to be going for the Dangerous STO!! BUT WAIT!! Dustin counters with some elbows to the side of the head. Tobias drops it and Dustin tries to rifle back with a clothesline?.and Tobias tries to counter into the Dangerous STO anyway?but at the last possible second Dustin pushes Tobias away and escapes it a second time. But Tobias is rabid! He throws more right and left hooks and hits a T-Bone Suplex on Dustin!! He pulls Dustin up by his head again and lifts him up?.HE?S GOING FOR THE RUBIX CUBE!!

Bill: It?s over!!

Dustin counters with some stiff shots to Tobias?s head, flips himself around on Tobias? shoulders and delivers a hurricanrana to counter! Tobias rolls to his feet?

?.ONLY TO BE MET WITH A KILLJOY BY DUSTIN! Dustin goes for the pin!!

1?.




2?.





3!!! Despite the slow count Dustin wins!!

As soon as the match ends Dustin get?s in Tanner?s face again, and officials come flying out of the back to break up this potential powder keg!!

Tito: This ain?t over. Not by a long shot. Tanner?s shady officiating almost cost Dustin this match!!

Bill: Yeah, if it hadn?t been for that Killjoy out of nowhere, this match could have dragged on much longer, and with that worked on knee and Tanner?s officiating would have most certainly been bad for Hughes. But, at least it was entertaining. I?m gonna see if I can restart that wave Tanner got going earlier.

Vega: *sigh* Jackass?.

*commercial Break*

[TKOW Board]

"Believe" by Breaking Benjamin hits the speakers as DNA flashes on the tron showing vignettes and highlights of each member?s moves. The song gets heavy and fast which ques DNA to step onto the entrance ramp. Raise their arms and run to the ring where they pose on separate turnbuckles.

Playboy Bill Jakes: Impressive, but they have a tough challenge here tonight with the Firm.

Vega: they are going to die at the hands out my stable.

Tito Poppi: This one is a hard one to call, but I just know that it is going to be a war.

Suddenly "Go to Sleep" - Eminem feat DMX & Obie Trice hits the speakers as Hardcore AL and Soulfly make there way down the ramp to the ring. Before they can do any posing Salazar and Dusty rush out of the ring and run up the ramp and start to fight with the firm.

Vega: That is not fare at all!

Tito Poppi: Match?s are not always fair Vega.

Salazar and Dusty both take down there opponent at the top of the ramp with body slams and they then roll them down the ramp.

Tito Poppi: DNA is manhandling the world and Custom champions out there.

Soulfly and AL land on the bottom of the ramp beside the ring and DNA goes running down towards them, but the Firm is back on there feet and they intercept DNA and they each throw them hard into the ring apron. The fans cheer for the thud the slam?s make, but the Firm is all business here and they roll DNA into the ring. Soulfly rolls in and he stomps on Dusty and the ref calls for the bell.

Playboy Bill Jakes: It has seemed that the Firm has the advantage now.

In the ring Soulfly has Dusty locked into a strong headlock and the much smaller Dusty is having problems getting out of it. Soulfly plays it cocky and with one hand he has Dusty locked into the headlock on the mat, and with the other hand he pretends to smoke a joint. Salazar does not think it is so funny and he runs into the ring and he tries to break up the move, but the ref blocks him from doing so. Soulfly takes advantage of the ref looking away and he starts to choke Dusty hard with his hands.

Tito Poppi: Now that is not cool at all.

Salazar finally leaves the ring and Soulfly stops the choke as the ref turns around. Soulfly drags Dusty to his feet and over to his corner where he tags in hardcore AL. AL stays on the apron and Soulfly lifts up Dusty and he slams him down onto the mat with a powerful body slam and Hardcore AL slingshots into the ring and he comes down hard across the body of Dusty with a big time leg drop. He makes a cover and the ref counts to two but Salazar enters the ring and he pulls AL off his partner. The ref once again has to stop Salazar from entering the ring and he and Salazar argue in the middle of the ring. Dusty and Soulfly take advantage of this and AL lifts up a hurting Dusty and he places him through the middle rope, so the small of his back is hanging. He holds him in place as Soulfly climbs to the second rope before he comes down hard across the chest of Dusty with a brutally stiff knee drop. This latterly bends Dusty in half because the way he was lying on the middle rope. This causes a Holy Shit chant to break out.

Vega: That?s how we do! We cut the ring in half and destroy, and destroy Dusty we have been doing since the moment this match has started!

Dusty rolls around the mat in pain as Soulfly leaves the ring and Dusty pulls him up to his feet.

Tito Poppi: Hasn?t he had enough harm done to him for one match so far? This is not fare at all what they are doing to poor Dusty.

AL sets Dusty up for a DDT but Salazar has had enough of the ref and he moves quickly around him and he takes down AL with a brutal Lariat. The ref manages to pull Salazar away from the ring and he sends him into his corner. This distraction has given Dusty enough time to slowly start to crawl towards his corner and tag in Salazar. He reaches out and he leaps forward to make the tag and yes he does! The fans cheer a little for the hot tag and Salazar runs across the ring towards Soulfly who has just been tagged in by AL. He takes him down with a quick cross body and he then pulls him back up and he throws him into the corner.

Tito Poppi: Salazar is one fire here right now.

Vega: But the Firm will quickly put this fire out, mark my words on that!

Salazar rushes over to Soulfly and he grabs him and pulls him back away from the corner and he sets him up for a fisherman?s Suplex. He lifts him up into the air and he turns around facing his corner, and this gives AL a chance to slap Soulfly on the back, tagging himself in. AL rushes in and he chop blocks Salazar?s leg out from under him. Salazar drops down to one knee letting Soulfly escape.

Vega: See, The Firm is a real team, and we know how to work a tag match. Just when DNA got the advantage BAM we take it away from them. That is why we are going to win.

Soulfly and AL start to brutally stomp of Salazar taking him down to the mat. They are gang style beating him here and just stomping on him very stiff. Dusty will not take this and he runs into the ring and he takes down AL with a swift high-speed dropkick to the knee, sending him out of the ring. Salazar slowly gets up as Dusty is throwing punches with the bigger Soulfly. Fly manages to knock Dusty down with a big elbow, but Salazar is pissed off now and with a head of steam he leaps up and uppercuts Soulfly. The impact of the punch sends the champ out of the ring to the floor beside the custom champion Hardcore AL.

Playboy Bill Jakes: Momentum has just shifted to DNA, but my money is still on the Firm for this one.

DNA motion for something big right now and Salazar gets down onto all fours near the ropes and Dusty runs back.

Tito Poppi: What are they going to do here? I can feel it that it?s something big, but this may get insane.

Dusty bounces off the ropes and at full speed he rushes forward and he leaps onto Salazar?s back, and he leaps forward towards the top rope Half Poetry in Motion Half Triple Jump Moon Sault style. He goes to land on the top rope but he crashes and burns because AL is up and he leaps onto the apron and pulls down the top rope. Dusty overshoots the pulled down top rope and he goes flying towards the floor at full speed.

Tito Poppi: Oh Shit Dusty is in Trouble!

He is in major trouble because in mid air Soulfly leaps forward and he brutally snaps the much smaller Dusty in half with an insanely stiff Spear. Dusty lands with a thud on the floor and Soulfly rolls into the ring where Salazar and AL are punching it out. The ref is trying to get some order restored here and he sends Soulfly to his corner. Salazar manages to send AL across the ring with an Irish whip and he follows through with a close line. He quickly reaches down and he locks The Custom Champion in a Sharpshooter.

Tito Poppi: AL just may tap out here!

Vega: The Firm does not quit so easily Tito, now shut the fuck up and watch the Firm win this match.

While pulling back on the submission hold Salazar looks up at the Khaos Tron and he sees a replay playing of Soulfly spearing Dusty in mid air and Salazar gets a pissed off look on his face. He is very furious now and he stands up with AL?s legs still hooked and he turns around while standing up. AL is on his stomach and his legs are hooked around Salazar?s left leg. Salazar reaches down and he slaps AL hard in the back of the neck three times, before he flips off Soulfly and he grabs his arms and he pulls him up. He places his foot on the back of AL?s head and he then brutally Curb Stomps his face into the mat.

Playboy Bill Jakes: What the hell!? I have never seen Salazar use that before, but he must have picked it up from Dave Havoc who likes to use that move sometimes.

Vega: Who fucking cares who uses that move, it is unsafe and the ref should DQ him for stealing that move.

Salazar is angry at what the Firm just did to Dusty who is barley getting up on the floor right now and he tells Soulfly to ?Fuck Off? before he pulls AL back up by his arms and he brutally curb stomps his face into the mat once more, before he steps away from AL, but not before he steps on his head hard. The fans are cheering for DNA and Salazar looks pissed off here and he makes a pin fall cover on Hardcore AL.

?One?

Tito Poppi: This one is almost over here.

?Two?

Vega: AL will kick out!

Before the ref can count the three Soulfly runs in and stomps the back of Salazar, breaking up the pin fall in the process.

Vega: See that?s why Soulfly is the Champion, because he leads a team like a champion and he looks after his own.

Soulfly lifts up Salazar and he attempts to drill him into the mat with the Even Flow DDT but from out of nowhere comes Dusty Dynamite with a kick to the midsection. He pulls the World Heavyweight Champion away from his partner Salazar and he kicks him once more in the stomach before he drives him into the mat face first with the Dynamite DDT!

Vega: What the hell ref! Two on one in there. That burned freak just attacked the champ. That is not fair!

Tito Poppi: Neither was you two on one attack at the start of the match!

Vega: Shut up Tito

Soulfly bounces off the mat and he rolls slowly out of the ring hurting. He lays on the floor in pain as Dusty climbs to the top rope and motions for his tag team partner to lift up Hardcore AL.

Playboy Bill Jakes: What are they going for here? This could be a huge upset if DNA can pull it off. Wait NO!

Hardcore AL has recovered from the Curb Stomps and he grabs Salazar and he shoves him into the ropes. The force of Salazar hitting the ropes causes Dusty to lose his footing on the top rope and crotch himself!

Vega: Damn Right!

AL holds onto Salazar and he takes him down with a quick Back Suplex driving the member of DNA into the mat. AL then makes his way up to the top rope where he starts to slap Dusty in the face a few times softening him up. He then grabs him and holds him in a front face lock.

Tito Poppi: If he hits this it is all over, but can he do it!

Vega: Of course he can you jackass. Get read for the Drop it like its Hot because AL is going to kill this DNA punk ass with it!


Al has Dusty on the top rope ready for the Drop it like its Hot. If he hits it the match is all but done. He motions for the end, but no! From behind comes Salazar and he grabs Al?s legs and he hooks him in position for the Demons Storm!

Tito Poppi: Salazar just saved the hurting Dusty from the Drop it like its Hot. But what are they planning now?

Salazar pulls Al away from Dusty and he hooks him in position for the Electric Chair Drop and he turns around, walking away from the turnbuckle a bit. He still has a hold of AL, but he lets him hang a bit forward. Dusty has his balance on the top rope and he motions for something huge as Soulfly is barley standing up on the floor. Dusty using AL as a platform runs across his back and he leaps off flying over the top rope and does a 450 Explosion! He fly?s through the air and he takes down the now standing Soulfly with the huge move.

?HOLY SHIT!?

The fans go insane as both wrestlers lay hurt on the floor not moving at all. The fans are going crazy for what they just saw, because there has never been a 450 splash ever done like that before.

Tito Poppi: God Damn, I have never seen someone use another persons back like that as a platform to leap to the floor. Plus Dusty didn?t just leap to the floor from Al?s back, he did a 450 Explosion! Wow!

In the ring Salazar attempts the Demons Storm, but AL manages to give him a few rough elbow shots to the forehead, knocking Salazar off balance. AL manages to slip forward and he takes Salazar down with a big time Arm bar. The fans are on there feet and Al gets up and he leaps forward for a Super kick.

Salazar is back on his feet and he turns around slowly, but he does not have the time to notice AL?s foot snap up and brutally kick him in the middle of the forehead. Salazar goes flying down on his back and he is out like a light as AL catches his footing and he covers Salazar.

The ref counts the three count and the match is over!

-[Backstage]-

We see Dustin holding Cheshires hand as he makes his way towards the arena's exit with a duffle bag in hand and nicely dressed in his street attire.

Dustin: "Adrian Tanner Jr. gets on my fucking nerves babe. Sooner or later I will have to put him out of our misery"

Cheshire: "Yeah...he wouldnt be suprised if i was a whore? Who the hell does he think I am?..."

Dustin: "A whore?"

Cheshire rolls his eyes at him...

Cheshire: "Well whatever the case...you did great out there...even with what happened a few days ago with you passing out and all from that horrendus nose bleed..."

As the two discuss random things, a very familiar voice interrupts them...

"whoa whoa whoa"

Both Dustin and Cheshire turn around....

"Where you going Dustin? I mean....you put on a good performance out there....but it would take a lot more than that to get it done against me."

They turn around to find Adrian Tanner Jr. standing there with a quirky grin on his face staring at both Dustin and his wife...

Adrian: "So where's Mr. Professional Wife-beater going to take her tonight? You gonna fuck her on a bench in the park? Screw her in a public pool? What is it?...Ahh shit, fuck her.....and screw her are not the right ways to put it....I meant the word rape..."

Dustin drops his duffle bag and takes off his leather jacket and hands it to his wife..

Adrian: "Hey look....a wife beaters muscle shirt? How ironic..."

Dustin stares into Adrian Tanners eyes with pure contempt...

Dustin: "Are you trying to start something? Because I'm not in a very good mood...I just fought one hell of an athlete out there and I'm not wanting to fight you just now..."

Tanner begins to laugh...

Dustin: "And for the record....why call me a wifebeater? I havent hit her once...I've threatened but havent done it...so you speak blasphemy

Tanner nods his head

Adrian: "Yeah, that's true. I guess I should say "future" wifbeater shouldnt I? Cause y'know it's gonna happen. Face it Dust, you need help. And I have been known as a "problem solver" before..."

Dustin breathes deeply and soon slaps the taste right out of Adrian's mouth....Tanner grabs his face before smiling at Dustin followed by an attempted right hand....but Dustin evades the blow by throwing Cheshire in the front lines to take the hit knocking her out conscious...Tanner, now distracted by the move by Dustin, is blindsided with a punch that knocks him back. Dustin attempts to further his attack by charging at him, but Tanner sweeps the legs out underneath Dustin with a tackle where he can mount him with punches...Tanner gets about three swift blows in that splits Dustin's eyebrow ring right out of his skin cutting him open...But some how Dustin rolls Tanner over and begins to unleash blows on him....

Soon after, TKOW! officials break the two up....4 on Tanner and 4 on Dustin...both holding them as Dustin and Tanner trade insults...

Dustin: "This isn't over Tanner....We will see who the true coward is...."

Adrian: "Maybe quit worrying about me and check on the wife you used as a fucking martyr....All I need is once Dustin...just once in the ring....one on one...to prove myself right...

Dustin: "We'll see now wont we?"

Adrian shrugs off the refs and implies he can go out on his own will....Meanwhile Dustin stares at the downed Cheshire and smiles...

'Lucia Vs Zophar' starts to play as Ghalleon makes his way out to the ring with a microphone in hand. He enters the ring and the music starts to cut off

Ghalleon: Ok, welcome to the Blue Spire. But I won't be having any guests tonight folks. I'm rather pissed off at one Salazar.

Ghalleon starts to walk back and forth next to the ring ropes as he starts to speak.

Ghalleon: Lately I've got stopped in the grocery store and on the street by fans. They ask me if I'm going to stand around and take the jabs that Dustin and Salazar throw at me. Well....

Ghalleon is interupted as "Still DRE" plays. HE looks up at the ramp, awaiting Salazar.

Tito:look out Ghalleon!

Salazar comes into the ring from the crowd and immediately blindslides Ghalleon from behind. he gets the best of him as he pushes Ghalleon into a turnbuckle and starts laying away with left and right hands. Salazar backs away, taunting Ghalleon. He rushes in for an attack, but catches an elbow, Ghalleon grabs Salazars head and slams it into the turnbuckle, before throwing him to the outside.

Bill: Someone needs to stop this! This isn't a match!

Tito:Salazar wanted a fight, well he's got it!

Ghalleon rolls outside the ring and starts kicking away at Salazar. HE pulls Salazar up and slams him against the guardrails, before lifting him up in the air and dropping him across the barrier stomach first. Ghalleon steps back and signals he's going for a superkick. He steps in for the move, but Salazar dodges to the right, and Ghalleon gets hung up on the barrier.

Bill:I guess that means we wont have any little bitty knights running around anytime soon.

Tito:he's not a knight any more.

Bill:And you're not gay anymore.

Tito:you're righ....I mean....I never was gay!

Salazar looks under the apron, and pulls out a trash can lid. He smashes it across Ghalleons skull with a thud. Salazar doesn't let up on the attack, as he hoists Ghalleon up onto his shoulders, and runs to the steel post, but Ghalleon slides off and sends Salazar into the post!

Vega:Salazar just can't NOT get his ass kicked tonight

Bill:and you can't NOT suck a dick tonight can you.

we hear Vega slap Bill as Ghalleon pulls out a kendo stick from underneath the ring. He siezes up Salazar and cracks the stick over his skull.

Tito:What impact!

Ghalleon drops the stick, and starts to look for something else under the ring. Salazar struggles to move. Ghalleon pulls out a stop sign. He steps over Salazar, and raises it in the air.

Tito: Low Blow!

Ghalleon drops down to his knees. Salazar heads over to the timekeepr and takes his chair. He smashes the chair doen across Ghalleons skull. Then across his limp body several times. Sammie can be heard screaming for him to stop. Salazar stops, and stares at Sammie.

Tito:No...he can't be thinking what I'm thinking he's thinking.

Salazar stalks Sammie around the ring. She runs around the back to try and escape. Salazar slides through the ring and cuts her off in front of the ramp. Sammie backs up pleading with Salazar to stop. She falls down and backs up into the steps. Salazar has a sadistic smile across his face as he raises the chair to strike her. The crowd suddenly errupts into a cheer.

Bill:See, they're even cheering for him to strike her.

Tito:I think it's not for him...

Salazar goes to swing, but someone grabs the chair from behind, and that someone is...ADRIAN TANNER, JR! Tanner throws a left and right hand into Salazar, sending him stumbling back. Tanner keeps it up with the right hands, finally leveling "The Forsaken" with a massive right hand. Salazar gets back up, and recieves a kick to the gut. Tanner sets him up for the Revovler..

Bill:Our Saviour is here!

Dustin Hughes runs down the ramp and takes the fight to Tanner, it quickly turns into a two on one stomp down, until

~CRACK~

Ghalleon levels Salazar with the steel chair, then gives Dustin the same treatment. Tanner looks up at Ghalleon. Ghalleon offers him a hand to help him to his feet. Tanner takes the hand and Ghalleon pulls Tanner to his feet, to the delight of the crowd.

Bill:I don't like this.

Backstage, Phoenix and T.H. Power can be seen talking with Fredy and Mike. David Rave, last seen talking with his brother, Jason Starr, is coming down the hall.

Phoenix: Hey guys, meet me at the stage. I want to have a quick chat with our esteemed Presidente'.

T.H. Power: That punk? Mr "Straightexceptforhangingwithdruggieshookersandmurderersedge"?

Phoenix: Yeah, that one. I have a few long overdue words for him.

T.H. Power: Better be some four letter words in there.

Phoenix: Go away.

Power and Fredy walk off as Rave draws near, manilla envelope in hand.

Phoenix: David.

Rave: Phoenix.

Phoenix: You have a minute?

Rave: Barely.

Phoenix: I'll make it quick then. Let's walk.

Rave and Phoenix begin strolling down the hallway.

Phoenix: Back when I handed over the Ultimate Chaos title, I had one thing on my mind. And that was you. The way you used to be. Before you faced Starr for the World title. Before Joao.

Rave: You aren't the first person to remind me of the past tonight.

Phoenix: That's a good thing. Because you seem to have forgotten yourself all over again. And that really irks me. I've been waiting, no, hoping, no, PRAYING, for the old David Rave to reemerge. The man that made the fans hearts soar, the man that sttod for the best this business had to offer. Oh sure you get the crowd cheering, but look at who you work with... no, work FOR. The FIRM. The dirtiest nastiest people in the game today. And not ONCE have you taken a stand against them. Not ONE time.

Rave glares, but his eyes betray an understanding.

Phoenix: When I handed over the Ultimate Chaos title, it was because I wanted to feel like I earned that title, and the only way to earn it was to beat the man that made that title what it was. And that's "Straightedge" David Rave. Not "Druggy" David Rave or "FIRM's Puppet" David Rave. I needed to face the guy that stood for what was right, and would give his blood, sweat, and tears, his body and soul, fighting for it.

Rave: And what makes you so sure I'm not that man?

Phoenix stops walking, shaking his head, and opens the door to his right. He reveals what used to be Rave's office.

Phoenix: Nuff said. You think on that Rave.

Phoenix walks past the camera leaving the miffed Rave behind.

"The Anthem" by Good Charlotte begins to play on the arena's speaker system, sending the crowd wild. The screen shows Aaron in action against TKOW! megastars past and present, including Jason Starr, Chief and Extreme Killer Phil, mixed in with the video for the song. As soon as the vocals hit, Aaron runs out onto the stage, with Katie following behind. They stand at the top of the ramp for a few seconds, looking around at the fans, with Aaron playing to them a little, before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring.

Tito: the crowd here in Montreal loves Aaron.

Bill: it's not so much that they love Aaron, but they REALLY hate the guy thats coming out next.

The lights dim as the opening chords to Nine Inch Nail's "The Mark Has Been Made" hits. The 'Tron shows what look to be snakes eyes superimposed over the Los Angeles cityscape. The image of the eerie eyes is quickly cut away and replaced with extremely quick shots of Jace ruining somebody's shit with a brutal kick to the face or body, all done to the tune of the opening chords. When the song picks up a fully formed snake appears above the cityscape forms and lunges, the image shatters and it cuts to a series of scenes of Jace in action, intercut with sinister looking red profile shots of him laughing maniacally.

By now, the arena is bathed in a strange purplish glow with his symbol (Two snakes locked in combat in the symbol for "infinity") formed in neon lights and leading to the ring. Jace walks to the ring, ignoring the fans. He seems extremely focused and gets in the ring without any frills or wasted movement. He removes his gi top and throws it over the top rope and awaits the bell.

Tito: so, does the winner of this match afce Hardcore Al at FOrever, seeing as how Al has a match with Soulfly at Forever.

Vega: Just because it's a number one contenders match, it doesn't mean the winner gets a shot at Forever.

Tito: and Valerys calling for the bell.

Aaron juts in towards Mingla, feigning like he?s going for a lock up but instead dodges to the side and locks in a rear waist lock. Mingla throws a back elbow, but the elusive Aaron doesn?t get hit.

Tito: Aaron smart not to lock up with the bigger man.

Jakes: Yeah, but what good does a rear waist lock do?

The question is answered as Aaron drives his foot to the back of Mingla?s knee, stunning the big man. He follows up with another boot to the back of the knee, this time sending Mingla to one knee.

Tito: Taking him off his vertical base. Tried, tested and true method of beating giants. Only this time Aaron needs to get Mingla through a table.

Mingla gets back to his feet, but Aaron is already darting to the ropes and back towards Mingla. Jace swings in an attempted clothesline, but Aaron ducks it, bounces off the ropes again and hits a missile-style dropkick to Mingla?s left knee. The impact is sickening as it actually caused Mingla to fall head over heels.

Tito: What impact!

Jakes: It?ll take more than a blown knee to stop this monster.

Mingla is now back on his knees, but Aaron is still tentative about how to strike.

Tito: Aaron respecting Mingla?s power here.

Jakes: Respect or fear?

Tito: I?ve seen Aaron compete in countless matches, and fear isn?t in his vocabulary. He?s a smart competitor, Bill. And we?re seeing that right now.

Mingla is already frustrated and staggers towards Aaron who dodges easily and hits a drop-toe hold sending Mingla face first into the lower turnbuckle. As quickly as possible, Aaron stomps away on the bad knee of Mingla. He then places Mingla?s foot on the bottom rope, leaps up in the air and stomps on the elevated knee. Mingla grabs his knee in pain and wisely rolls to the outside.

Tito: Aaron with the early advantage here over Mingla. He?s being smart. You don?t want to tie up with a man of Mingla?s size and skill. Mingla?s circling the ring now. He?s nearing the entrance ramp? What?s Aaron doing?

Bill: A little lucha por favor?

Aaron runs towards the ropes and leaps to the outside with a perfect Swanton plancha as the flashbulbs go off in unison. He connects perfectly, knocking Mingla down hard on the steel rampway.

Tito: The high-risk paid off big for Aaron this time. He needs to use those types of moves in moderation though. Aaron now looking under the ring? He definitely wants to end this one early, and why wouldn?t he? He?s in firm control.

Aaron pulls a table out from under the ring and struggles set it up. Finally, with the table in place on the outside, he turns around and is met with a stiff punch to the midsection.

Tito: Mingla with a desperate punch from his knees is just enough to stun Aaron momentarily.

Mingla then springs to his feet and hits a stiff European uppercut, which sends Aaron reeling back towards the apron. Aaron uses the apron to brace himself as the shock of popping up causes Mingla to grab his knee in pain. Mingla shrugs off the pain and charges at Aaron, hitting him with a clotheline that effectively squashes him between Mingla?s muscular frame and the ring apron. Aaron slumps to his knee as Mingla delivers a stiff knee to Aaron?s face, causing the taller yet lighter Briton to fall to the ground. Mingla searches under the ring and gets another table, sliding it into the ring. He then grabs Aaron by the hair and rolls him into the ring, revealing that Aaron is already ?BUSTED? (writer?s note: The aforementioned is clearly a reference to Aaron?s former love for British pop-act, ?Busted? and further proof of Aaron?s feeble taste in music).

Tito: Aaron?s mouth seems to be bleeding. Mingla now in control.

Bill: In other words? It was fun while it lasted, kid, but you?re screwed now.

Mingla Irish whips Aaron into one corner and follows up with a giant splash. Aaron staggers forward, swinging wildly out of instinct. Mingla mockingly dodges one of the stray punches and hits a leg sweep facebuster as Aaron lands awkwardly on his face.

Bill: That?ll leave a mark!

The crowd groans in pain, as if feeling Aaron?s anguish. Mingla gets up and looks down at the work he?s done. A few moves and Aaron was essentially ruined. The look on Mingla?s face is somewhere between perverse pleasure and pride as he begins to set up the table in the ring. Once set up, in the centre of the ring, Mingla lifts Aaron up in an inverted suplex position.

Bill: Vindication on the table! This one?s gonna be over!

Mingla begins to drop Aaron down, but the wily former champion manages to squirm his way free and roll over the back of Mingla, landing on his feet. Mingla spins around and blocks a left hand, but he doesn?t block the kick that cracks into his left knee cap. Mingla howls in pain as his left knee buckles. He is on one knee, and a fire is seen in Aaron?s eyes.

Tito: Uh oh? You don?t want to be on one knee around Aaron and in a vulnerable position!

Aaron bounces off the ropes, surely the effects of a second wind and jumps towards Mingla.

Tito: Vanity Sells?!?!

Aaron attempts the Vanity Sells, but Mingla strafes to the right and grabs Aaron?s right leg. In one swift, athletic move, Mingla counters the Vanity Sells into the Liberation (Elevated Inverted Leg-Lace Stretch).

Tito: What a counter! What a God-damned counter!

Aaron screams in pain as Mingla applies the hold tighter and tighter.

Bill: Aaron?s got nowhere to go?

Using his upper-body strength, Aaron balances himself on his hands and lurches forward into a quick front roll. The quick change in direction is enough to break the hold, as Aaron rolls safely into the corner. Mingla gets up, ready to stalk Aaron when Katie jumps on the ring apron, cussing out Mingla.

Bill: get that little bitch off the apron! Come on ref!

Before senior official John Valery can usher Katie down, Mingla grabs her by the hair and pulls her into the ring. He has her by the hair when he lifts her up in an inverted suplex position over the table still positioned in the middle of the ring.

Tito: No! No!

Then, out of nowhere, Aaron leaps from the top turnbuckle with a missle dropkick, connecting with Mingla?s shoulder. Mingla topples backwards as Katie falls atop him, her knee driving into his groin. Katie rolls to the outside, unscaved as Aaron flattens the table and leans it against the turnbuckle. He then lifts Mingla and Irish whips him into said turnbuckle, but the move is reversed!

Tito: Can it be!

Aaron stops on a dime, inches away from the table and spins around only to notice a charging Mingla. Aaron dives to the left as a spearing Mingla crashes right through the table!

Tito: Yes! Yes! It?s over!

Bill: No it?s not, you idiot. Aaron has to put Mingla through the table himself. If you were watching the match closely, you?d have noticed that Aaron didn?t even touch him.

Senior official John Valery signals that the match is indeed, not over.

Tito: You were right. I guess you?re entitled to being right once in a while.

Aaron slides out of the ring, grabbing Minglas injured knee, he takes it and slams it hard into the steel turnbuckle. Mingla grabs his knee in pain, as Aaron pulls a table out from under the ring. He slides the table into the ring, and takes another shot at Minglas knee.

Tito: Aaron is gettign ready to finish Mingla off!

Aaron sets up the table in the middle of the ring. He pulls the Iceheart up and rolls him onto the table. Aaron signals he's going up top.

Tito: The crowd is on their feet!

Aaron is climbing from the inside, and doesn't see Jace roll off the table. Jace hits the ropes as Aaron hits the top, aaron falls down, crotchfirst into the turnbuckle. Jace climbs up as well.

Bill: It's over! Tornado DDT!

Jace hits the DDT perfectly, so that it sends Aarons skull crashing through the table. Valery calls for the bell.

Tito: damn....

Bill: Jace Mingla is the number one contender for the Custom Chaos Championship!

Vega: Al will be ready to take him out, don't worry.

Bill: I wasn't.

[TKOW Board]

Tito: It?s time! The Main Event, tag titles on the line, a match ordered by Soulfly!

The Tron is dark, and the HPWA logo fades in. Shadowed forms fill the screen as the Section 8 logo ripples in and out of view. The arena fades to a purple glow, the Section 8 logo shining down on the stage and circling through the audience.

"Fly From the Inside"'s opening riff kicks on...

(Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders)
(Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders)
ON MY SHOULDEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSS

The Tron lights up...



All alone I pierce the chain.
And all in all the sting remains.
And dyin eyes consume me now.

With a splitscreen, Phoenix on the right, T.H. Power on the left, clips of various moves and matches begin to show.

{Power hanging Cold Angel in a Brutality cage and Phoenix flying off the top of a Brutality cage with Carpenter.}

T.H. Power runs out, highstepping, full of energy and yelling at the crowd as the circle of fire lights mid-stage.

The voice inside it screams out loooouuuud.
I am focused on what I am after.
The key to the next open chapter.

{A Stock Market Crash and a Phoenix Driver, both to Bishop.}

Phoenix rises through the flames, down on one knee. As Phoenix stands up Power jogs in front of the flames and starts yelling at Phoenix, and the two men clink their metal briefcases like champagne glasses.

Cause IIIIIIIII found a waaaaaaaaaaaay
to steal the sun from the skyyyyyyyyyy.
Loooooooooong live that daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
that I decided to flyyyy
FROM THE INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAH.

{A slow mo Long Shot delivered through a flaming glass door & wood table missing Cold Angel, slow mo Phoenix Driver off the top of a ladder to the outside putting Jace Mingla through two other ladders.}

Power takes the Blood Money case and waves both in the air, then points down the ramp at the ring.

Tito: Does Phoenix have tassles on?

Playboy: That's wat it looks like. Kind of reminds me of the Ultim-

Every day a new deception.
Pick your scene and take direction.
On and on I search to connect.

{Power attacking Suga at the UCW title match and Phoenix hitting the Phoenix Driver on D-Matic onto the title belt that same match.}

Phoenix starts jogging in place, breathing hard in that fake way, and takes off on a run down the rampway!

Playboy: Oh no...

But I don't wear a mask and I have no regreeeeeets.
I am focused on what I am after.
The key to the next open chapter.

{A slo mo Long Shot into his metal briefcase into Jake Cage's skull, and a Phoenix Driver off a top turnbuckle to the floor on Hitman.}

Phoenix slides into the ring out of the dead run as Power starts down the ramp, yelling to the crowd, getting them pumped. Phoenix hits the ropes in front of the announcers and grabs the top rope, looking out to the crowd, eyes wide and wild.

Playboy: He's really doing it... He's really channeling Ultimate Warrior!

Cause IIIIIIIII found a waaaaaaaaaaaay
to steal the sun from the skyyyyyyyyyy.
Loooooooooong live that daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
that I decided to flyyyy
FROM THE INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAH.

{Power fighting A Violent Reaction, Phoenix fighting Violent Reaction.}

Phoenix leans back and starts violently shaking the ropes and yelling while Power starts his strut and the fans explode with the show as the turnbuckles explode in pyro. Power jogs around the ring, slapping hands with all the fans.

I CAN'T ESCAPE THE PAIN
I CAN'T CONTROL THE RAGE
SOMETIMES I THINK THAT I'M GONNA GO INSANE

Phoenix backs to the center of the ring and poses, wide eyed, looking straight up, and starts ?raising the roof?!

I'M NOT AGAINST WHAT'S RIGHT
I'M NOT FOR WHAT'S WRONG
I'M JUST MAKING MY WAY AND I'M GONE.

{T.H. Phoenix's Stock Market Crash to D-Matic, and a Phoenix Driver to D-Matic.}

Tito: I never thought I'd see the day...

Vega: It's nearly as good as his Triple H.

Phoenix keeps it up, doing a lap around the ring, and stops cameraside to grab the ropes and shake some more.

(Here's the weight of the world on my)
SHOOOOOUUUULDEERRRRS

Power finally gets into the ring, leaving both cases on the steps in their corner. Phoenix turns to look at him and they each nod, then BOTH men start highstepping around the ring, each stopping on an opposite side and they BOTH start shaking the ropes and yelling to the crowd!

Cause IIIIIIIII found a waaaaaaaaaaaay
to steal the sun from the skyyyyyyyyyy
Loooooooooong live that daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
that I decided to flyyyy
FROM THE INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE

They finally hop to the second turnbuckles announcerside playing to the crowd. They drop and move to the other turnbuckles, yelling to the crowd more.

that I decided to flyyyy
FROM THE INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE
that I decided to flyyyy
FROM THE INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE

The song ends with the Tron showing a bloody Power conferencing with Phoenix as the two men get to their corner.

Vega: About time they finished.

Tito: If there?s one thing Phoenix knows, it?s how to show off to the fans.

Playboy: One thing? Yeah, that sounds about right.

The arena goes dark. On the Khaostron a graphic of a heart monitor beats in sync with the beginning beats of "Otherworld" by Nobuo Uematsu. A few green and gold pyros go off in series on stage in sync with the electric guitar which plays. This repeating sequence lasts for the 14 second intro of the song. As the music kicks up various clips of Matt Griffen, Lady Hawke and Aello fighting opponents (in ring and out) in TKOW/SCW flash in a rapid montage on the Megatron.

As the smoke from the pyros clears Griffen is on stage. He slowly and determinedly walks toward the ramp. From behind him, Lady Hawke and Aello appear, running toward him. As they reach him they both grab one of his arms and whip him down the ramp to the ring. He stops at the apron, spinning 180 to face the women. They thumbs up one another and Lady Hawke runs at him full speed, followed a few seconds later by Aello. Griffen drops to a knee.

As Hawke leaps onto it as if for a shining wizard but runs on up onto his shoulders instead, he rises. Using his additional momentum she bounds into a flip over the ropes, landing on her feet. Aello immediately follows, almost identically, except she steps from Griffen's knee into his interlocked hands. He stands, tossing her over his head in a slightly different direction. She somersaults over the ropes, landing on her feet a slight distance from Hawke. Griffen then hops up onto the apron and grabs the ropes, flipping himself over into the ring. Hawke and Griffen remove their belts and show them to the crowd, afterwards handing them to the ref.

Tito: The Birds sporting a new attitude to go along with their new titles.

Playboy: I?m still bored.

?Go To Sleep? hits for the 17th time that night. The FIRM walk out en force. Soulfly and Hardcore Al are each sporting their titles over their shoulders. Eric Mitchell, D-Matic, and BadStar Kahn follow right behind them.

Playboy: I bet this makes you all wet between the legs huh.

Vega: Shut up Bill.

Playboy: I was talking to Tito.

Soulfly holds up a mike, smiling at the jeers of the crowd.

Soulfly: Now seeing how this is the Main Event of a TKOW show, and the FIRM is TKOW, you all know that we can?t have this Fraction 4 take up all our precious time. So here?s what?s going to happen. The FIRM is going to make sure this match goes down exactly as it should, to please the fans. No backing out, or playing nice.

Phoneix and Power look at each other, then look out at the FIRM and wave them in, yelling ?COME ON THEN!?

Soulfly: Well I?m glad you?re so willing. As the first act, I?m appointing BadStar Kahn as the special guest timekeeper.

The crowd jeers. Phoenix yawns and Matt motions for Soulfly to hurry up.

Soulfly: Next, I?m going to appoint D-Matic as the special guest enforcer. Then Eric Mitchell, who is well known in SCW as a fair and kind official, the special guest referee. Hardcore Al and myself will take commentary. Tito and Jakes! You are excused.

Tito: Soulfly is stacking the deck!

Bill: For who? Neither team would have anything to do with the FIRM.

Vega: Or would they? You used to think neither would have anything to do with A Violent Reaction too?

In the ring, Phoenix blindsides the Birds, knocking Lady Hawke out of the ring and working over Matt?s kidney in the corner. Chief pulls on a referee shirt and slides in the ring, signaling Kahn for the bell. D-Matic takes a seat and pulls a PSP out of his pocket while Al and Soulfly boot Tito and Bill from the announce table.

Vega: Nice to have my boys around.

Soulfly: You stay in that frame of mind after this is done.

Al: Phoenix staying on his course starts off heavy, taking the Birds by surprise.

Soulfly: Who would have thought that birdbrain had it in him.

Matt powers his way out of the corner, shoving Phoenix. Phoenix hits the mat and rolls up to a knee, grinning, as Matt complains to the ref.

Al: It was a fair beating in the corner. Stop whining!

Phoenix cracks his neck and his fingers, slowly circling the ring. Matt follows, their eyes locked, neither one moving in. Lady Hawke talks briefly with Aello before taking her spot in the corner.

Soulfly: BOOOOOORRRING! BOOOORRRRRRRING!

Each man stops in the opposing teams corner. Power starts trash talking Matt, who tries to ignore T.H.. Phoenix, however?

Al: Phoenix falls back and elbows Lady Hawke in the face!

Matt yells and runs at Phoenix, who grabs the top rope and jumps over, landing on the floor. Phoenix steps away from the ring as Matt yells at him, and Power jumps HIM from behind, clubbing him in the back. Matt starts to turn, but Power rears back and double axe punches him in the face, turning Matt face to face with Phoenix, who is back on the apron. Phoenix starts to sign the cross, but waves it off, grabs Matt by the back of the head, and drops off the apron, guillotining Griffen!

Al: Ok now I?m confused.

Vega: This is an all-too-different Phoenix we?re seeing in this match. He?s using ever dirty trick in the book.

Phoenix slides back in the ring as Power grabs Matt for a suplex. He takes the other side and they double suplex Griffen into the mat with a resounding thud. Instead of standing, both men roll away to either side. Power?s roll takes him outside the ring, and he sees Lady Hawke on the top rope, no longer with a clear target. Power smiles at her, points to his head, then Phoenix, and winks.

Soulfly: No fair using brains. I want to see blood and pain!

Al: Is that what this is?

Soulfly: Phoenix and Power trained the Birds to be a team. No one?s going to be able to read them better.

Vega: That?s why Phoenix is so out of character. The Birds know how he wrestles. Changing his approach so harshly gives him a major edge.

Al: And the Birds don?t get dirty. Period. Griffen and Hawke are in for a rough road.

Hawke slowly steps down to the apron as Phoenix gets up using the ropes. Phoenix runs at Griffen for a clothesline, but Matt manages to catch Phoenix with a spinebuster. Matt then makes a pinfall attempt?


One?

two?


Phoenix gets a shoulder up. Matt gets up and runs into the ropes and goes for a elbow drop, but Phoenix rolls away. Griffen gets up holding his elbow and goes for a stomp on Phoenix, but he just rolls out of the way again. Matt goes for another stomp, Phoenix moves out of the way. This repeats a few more times. Frustrated by Phoenix?s continuous dodging, Matt jumps and comes crashing down knee first?

Al: Oooooooooooo?

? onto the mat, because once again Phoenix rolls out of the way. Matt now is holding his knee in pain. Phoenix finally gets up and the two towers goes face to face. Phoenix starts talking some smack and puts his hand in the air for a test of strength. Matt puts his hand up and they lock up. The two powerhouses goes back and forth, with neither of them getting a clear advantage until Phoenix kicks Griffen in the stomach and quickly follows up with whipping him to the ropes.

Soulfly: Chicken shit.

Phoenix goes for a shoulder block, which just manages to stagger Griffen. Matt looks annoyed and slowly turns, but he is hit with an elbow to the neck. Phoenix slaps on Burnout, but Matt quickly rams Phoenix back into a corner, making him lose grip of the hold.

Al: The Birds need to get themselves on the offensive if they hope to win.

Matt cracks his neck as he turns, center ring, and dares Phoenix to meet him man to man. As the two men hook up Matt kicks Phoenix in the gut and twists him into an arm bar. Griffen starts putting more and more pressure on the arm of Phoenix, but as Matt tries to get more leverage Phoenix counters with a leg sweep to get the hold broken.

Al: Phoenix relying on his martial arts to get out of that one.

Griffen hits the mat and releases the hold he had on Phoenix's arm. Phoenix gets to his feet first and starts to pull Griffen to his feet. Phoenix whips Griffen to the ring corner and follows him in with a fury of right hands into Griffen's kidney again. He stops and switches to chop hard chops into Matt?s chest. The crowd cheers louder with each chop that hits Griffen.

Soulfly: Look at him go!

Phoenix stops chopping as Chief's count reaches four. He steps back from Griffen but Matt pulls Phoenix into the corner and starts his own flurry of right hands and chops. Chief starts to count to five as Matt beats on Phoenix in the corner. Matt finally stops as the count is almost to five and looks at the ref with a look of hatred in his eyes.

Vega: Looks like someone is waking up!

Matt takes a huge step and swings a double axe handle, trying to decapitate Phoenix! The masked man falls into a partial split, condensing himself into the corner, and forcing Matt to hit the open top turnbuckle.

Al: Phoenix headbutts Matt in the jewels!

Soulfly: See? He is gay. Flamer is attracted to the c*beep* like a magnet.

Phoenix pulls himself up, opts for the simple, and STO?s Matt to the mat.

Al: Phoenix has had enough, and hits the first real wrestling move of the match.

Vega: He?s also tagging out. T.H. Power with his new slimness is on his way into the ring.

Soulfly: He was more interesting Rosey-sized.

Matt gets up slow, facing T.H. down. Power makes the mistake of locking up with Matt, who easily overpowers the boss and back mat slams him. Not wasting any motions, he turns into a jumping leg drop, connecting with Power?s throat. As he gets up again, Phoenix rushes in and Yakuza Kicks his head clean off, sending Matt sprawling into his corner.

Vega: Lady Hawke blind tags Griffen and hops over the rope. Phoenix is just smiling as he holds up both hands and backs off into his own corner.

Power gets up and sees Hawke is in, and shakes his head. But Hawke doesn?t give Power any time, immediately kicking him in the chest. She follows up with a four punch flurry, a knee to the gut, then hits a fameouser!

Al: Look like Hawke?s the feisty one in this match.

Soulfly: I?ll do her. Just to be fair.

Vega: I?m first.

Soulfly: Nah. Together.

Phoenix sits up on the top rope, looking over the action in the ring. Hawke drops down, grabbing both Power?s legs, crossing them and pulling them back with one arm, wraps her right leg around Power?s throat, and jams her left knee into his back, placing him into a chokehold style stretch submission.

Vega: Tito is calling from the back, he says she came up with this just for this match, she calls it the Myth-Breaker.

Phoenix simply? claps.

Chief gets down to Power?s level and watches for him to quit. Phoenix looks at his wrist, as if he?s checking a watch, and jumps down, stalking Hawke. She drops the hold, but before she can get up to defend herself, a big boot flies over her, crashing into Phoenix?s head!

Soulfly: Matt remembers he?s in a match! Yay!

Al: Griffen saving Hawke from whatever Phoenix planned to do to her. But she?s dropped the Myth-Breaker and Power?s trying to roll away.

Hawke grabs Power and forces him to his feet. She hops up, grabs his head and spins, hitting a textbook tornado DDT. Matt pulls Power up, holds his head, and rears back for a huge haym- No! Phoenix catches the right hand from Matt with his left, sends a palm strike to his face, turns into him, taking his right arm into an armbar with his own right arm, then back elbows the opponents face, grabs the head, and hits a Stunner!

A sound clip plays?

Good Ol? J.R.: STUNNER! STUNNER! STUNNER!

Vega: A night of debuts, as Phoenix lays a PX-Stunner on Griffen.

Soulfly: That thing takes awhile. Can?t he do something fast-

Phoenix traps a kick from Lady Hawke and nails the Xing Crusher!

Soulfly: Better. Hey!

Soulfly waves at Phoenix as D-Matic slides into the ring. D hits the D-Molisher on Power, and Phoenix turns back at the impact, walking into Death Awaits from Chief! D-Matic leaves the ring as Chief grabs Lady Hawke and moves her on top of Power. He slaps his own face in mock awe, and drops lazily for a count.


One?

Tw?


The lights go out.

Soulfly: Oh what now?

The lights come back up to find Phoenix on the top turnbuckle. He flies off and hits a headbutt on Lady Hawke, causing her to roll off of Power right as the ?three? hits.

Vega: That was cheap!

Al: Phoenix barely makes the save for T.H. and the Birds must be upset with how close that was.

Matt Griffen grabs Phoenix off the mat and throws him out of the ring. He follows as Power and Hawke try to recover in the ring.

Soulfly: Ok now I?m getting bored again.

Matt throws Phoenix into the barricade, then picks him up and drops him chest-first onto the same barricade. Phoenix lights up and fires back with an elbow and an STO, but Matt?s waiting and throws Phoenix face first into the steel steps.

In the ring, Hawke unsteadily stands as Power tries to pull himself up in the corner. She notes where he is and as he gets to his feet, runs at him full force, and hits a high shining wizard, so hard she goes OVER the top rope and barely manages to hold on to the rope.

Vega: That?s right girl. Beat the hell out of him.

Matt walks back to his corner and Phoenix slowly pulls himself up in his. Power breaks his daze enough to club Hawke off the apron. Hawke lands on her feet, but Power stumbles towards his corner. She slides back in and hops to her feet, but it?s too late, and Power tags Phoenix in.

Phoenix shakes the cobwebs and has a more sinister sneer on as he gets into the ring as Matt calls for the tag. Hawke waves him off and Phoenix flexes his right hand, reminding them both of the wall. Both competitors circle, feinting moving, neither giving the other an opening. Finally they both move in to lock up, but Hawke dodges and drives a knee into Phoenix?s guts. She runs and hits the ropes, coming back and driving a dropkick into the back of Phoenix?s knee.

Al: Hawke getting a little dirty here, taking the masked man off his wheel.

Hawke doesn?t let up, kicking Phoenix in the back of his head as soon as she stands. She keeps it up, punching Phoenix in the face, again, again, a knee to the face, and then again to the ropes, dropkicking Phoenix in the back of the head, dropping him to the mat!

She still doesn?t let up, stomping on the back of Phoenix?s head, until Power comes in and forcefully shoves her off. Hawke isn?t about to be stopped though, and nails Power with the Stun Gun!

Phoenix gets up, favoring his leg, and pulls his mask off and throws it into the crowd, and calls for her to continue. Hawke kicks out his bad knee from the inside, then again from the outside, and rams her middle knuckles into his throat. She runs past him, springboarding off the ropes to dropkick him down again. She rolls him over, mounts him, and starts punching him over and over again, to the count of the crowd.

At twelve, Power once again gets her off of Phoenix, this time with a low dropkick of his own. As she scrambles to get back, Power grabs her and tackles her into the corner, yelling at her, finally grabbing her arm and shoving her now bloody fist into her face.

Soulfly: I?m not bored anymore. This is more fun than the Jacuzzi!

Power screams at her, pointing down to a bloody unmoving Phoenix. He finally pushes himself away and goes to check on his friend, but Chief gets in the way and tells him he has to get out of the ring. Power slowly backs off, holding back the impulse to clock the ref, and gets back on the apron.

Hawke slowly approaches Phoenix, holding her bloody hand in front of her, her fingers moving ever so slightly as she tries to comprehend what just happened. Two feet away, she stops moving completely, staring into the crowd.

Phoenix sits straight up right then, wiping at his face. He gets to his feet, staying as off of his now-bad knee as he can, and looks at Matt, who?s face is twisting into great concern. Phoenix slowly turns his head and sees Lady Hawke, bloody hand up, eyeing him. He looks at his own hands, now bloody from wiping his face, and spits on the mat. He hauls back and grabs Hawke by the throat, tossing her arm over his, and leaning in close, making them face to face.

Hawke doesn?t move a muscle. She?s still staring off, but Phoenix shakes his head and lifts her up, to the crowd?s delight. He holds her as Aello yells from the outside, and Chief eggs him on. He turns so he?s facing Matt, and points at his face, but Matt?s not paying any attention to him, his face wrought with worry.

Phoenix looks to the crowd, looks at his boots, and slowly sets Hawke down on her feet. He stares at her vacant expression, and shoves her into the Birds corner. Matt blind tags himself in and motions for Aello to watch Hawke.

Soulfly: That?s enough. This was just getting good too!

Soulfly and Al get up, dropping their headsets and gathering up their titles. D-Matic sneaks up behind Power and BadStar walks towards Aello with the ringbell.

"Breed" by Nirvana starts to play through the arena?s sound system. The fans pop huge as the opening riff is heard. David Rave jumps out into stage with tons of energy.

I don?t care I don?t care I don?t care I don?t care I don?t care

Care if I'm old

I don?t mind I don?t mind I don?t mind I don?t mind I don?t mind

I don?t have a mind.

Get away Get away Get away Get away Get away

Get away from your home

I?m afraid I?m afraid I?m afraid I?m afraid I?m afraid

Afraid of a ghost

Vega: Now he shows up?

Rave has a mic in hand, along with a clipboard and a legal letter sized manilla envelope.

Rave: Ok that?s it, enough is enough! This match is over. I?m officially declaring it a draw.

The crowd boos, obviously wanting to see more.

Rave: I understand, but this match isn?t going the way it should. Not with this kind of officiating. Section 8 is excused. Right now I need to talk to the crowd and to the FIRM.

Aello and Matt help Hawke out of the ring and Phoenix and Power move out as well as the FIRM slides in. Rave walks down the rampway as the Birds of Prey, tag titles and all, start to walk up the ramp. Phoenix glares at Rave as Big Business makes their way to the ramp, but they too begin to trek up. Rave gets in the ring and Soulfly gets his mic back.

Soulfly: You've been in a bad mood all night Rave, but that's no reason to deprieve this crowd of their main event.

Rave: You mean deprieve you of your fun, don't you? This was never about them, or their problems, or even the gold. It was just to show you have the power, right? Like that contenders choice. Custom Chaos champion indeed.

Soulfly: It takes a lot to be the Custom Chaos champion. If you can hold that, why not take a shot at the big gold?

Rave: Just another in a long line of excuses. No one expects you and Al to go the distance. It's just a ploy to keep the gold in the FIRM. That's all you've ever done. When Icarus was stripped and fired, what happened? You became contender. What qualified you over everyone else? Your own mind.

Soulfly: Is there a point to this?

Rave: Yeah, there is. First off is this envelope. With all the hoo-ha over the FIRM running TKOW, the Board isn't in a good mood at all. And I'm starting to agree. Therefore, this is a copy of my resignation, effective at the end of High Voltage, tonight. The Board already has their copy. I'll no longer be President.

Soulfly goes wide-eyed, ripping open the envelope and quickly reading through the forms.

Soulfly: I made that position for you! I handed you power, money, everything!

Rave: And I don't want it! Not if it means sticking with you drugged up wife kidnapping bastards anymore! I stuck with it to try to effect change, but obviously that's a pipe dream with you guys. It's time to go back to basics.

Rave sticks the clipboard between his legs and the mic in his pocket, pulling off his shirt to reveal an Adrenaline Express logo on the back of a new shirt. The front says "Straightedge till I die". The crowd explodes at the sight and the FIRM balk at the thought.

Rave: I've went through my dark times, and I've come out stronger for it. After what Joao did I had to relearn the simple things like integrity, and honor in the ring, which is something not ONE of you knows the FIRST thing about!

Tito: Soulfly looks like he's about to explode!

Vega: When did you two get back out here?

Playboy: We never left... ooooooo spooky.

Rave: I have one last act to perform before the night ends and I lose all my power. I double and triple checked this contract, and made sure it was set up in such a way no one can change it. It's the contract for the Main Event of Mass Khaos. Everyone is banned from ringside. I will special guest referee. There are no disqualifications and no count outs. Heck, count outs won't even be possible.

Playboy: Not even possible?

Rave: This match will be for the Custom Chaos title, which now, thanks to you, also means the number one contendership to the World title.

The crowd gets louder with each sentence.

Rave: Hardcore Al will defend his Custom Chaos title against the only man deservant of singles gold in this company. A man who has yet to be beaten. A man who never even lost the Ultimate Chaos title, which was merged to create that same Custom Chaos title. A man that needs little introduction. A man that exudes integrity and honor. A man that you are afraid of Soulfly.

Soulfly: Don't you dare say i-

Rave: Phoenix.

The roof explodes as the crowd anticipates Phoenix's next shot at gold.

Rave: And this match will take place in a HPWA Brutality Cage, with Brutality rules.

On the ramp, Phoenix simply starts laughing behind a pair of Oakleys.

Rave: That's right Soulfly. No escaping. Not any-

Rave is cut off as D-Matic nails him with the steel chair. The FIRM all start putting the boots to the turncoat. Phoenix looks at Power and Big Business heads down to the ring, with Jason Starr and Adrian Tanner at their heels! Big Business tackle Soulfly and Hardcore Al as Starr attacks Chief and Tanner fights off BadStar. D-Matic pulls Phoenix off of Soulfly, but Rave jumps in and a five on five brawl ensues!

Tito: Adrenaline Express and Big Business are taking on the FIRM!

Playboy: It's about to get real ugly!

The Birds of Prey (all three of them) head back to the ring. In the ring, Jason Starr and Phoenix bump into each other and both turn, fists raised. The tension is thick, but they each pass each other, with Starr nailing Soulfly and Phoenix nailing Mitchell! As the Birds hit the ring, the FIRM takes a dive and each get themselves out of the ring, leaving Section 8 and Adrenaline Express in the ring to the delight of the crowd.

Tito: What a combination! Section 8 and Adrenaline Express!! I wouldn have never thought it possible!

Power approaches Phoenix and hands him two belts. As the Firm start to back up the ramp, Phoenix approaches the ropes and holds the Custom Chaos and World titles over his head. Lighting hits the Tron and "Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth" by Marilyn Manson kicks on, with the Tron displaying the HPWA logo and shots of the Brutality cage as the TKOW logo appears on the screen and the show ends.
