A special holiday mix kicks on as the Holiday Hell banner appears on the screen.



A special montage begins, highlighting great moments in the TKOW histories of all the stars slated to appear at the event. The first minute is in black and white, and shows each star at pinnacles of their careers, in victory poses, bleeding, hurt, burned, but victorious nonetheless.

As the rock takes over, the scenes turn into color and focus on high spots and power moves, the most dangerous things in each stars runs. Pyro goes off, the fans are loud, and we see the inside of the HPWA Arena, 10,000 fans strong, PowerTron 10 decorated, red white and green ring ropes, Tito Poppi and Johnny Styles in tuxedos.

The music ends;

Yuri Testkov: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN~! WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO THE GREATEST SHOW OF THEM ALL, AS HPWA PROUDLY PRESENTS TKOW HOLIDAY HELL~!!

Tito: That's right folks, live from the HPWA Arena in New Jersey, we're back with Holiday Hell, the first TKOW Pay Per View Extravaganza under the watchful eye of HPWA.

Johnny: You're just saying that cause it's true.

"Meaning of Life" kicks on and T.H. Power leads out the crew!

Johnny: Didn't we see enough of this with the FIRM?

Tito: You know another group with as much to gain tonight as Section 8? The TKOW Title, the Prince of Hell match, and even the First Blood Invitational have Section 8 all over them.

Johnny: Can I just say "meh".

Power flashes his "Don't Cross the Boss" shirt (now available in Total Shopping!) to the crowd while Matt and Kid are sporting "I was at the Prince of Hell and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt" shirts, and Phoenix is carrying a sign that says "I'm going to a Bronx Beatdown and I didn't even get a lousy T-Shirt" sign. The ladies follow behind, seemingly whispering to each other. The whole group moves into the ring and Power produces a microphone.

T.H. Power: Here we are, finally, opening up the New Year in true HPWA style. Which leads me to the latest roster cleaning.

Johnny: What, again?

T.H. Power: After all I've done for him, after I put him in MY Prince of Hell match, after I gave him the chance he didn't earn, Adrian Tanner Jr is being released from his contract.

Tito: Tanner? He's a superstar the likes of which TKOW may never see again!

Johnny: Hey Tito, you're sitting next to THE Superstar. Never forget that.

T.H. Power: Following him out the door is his pal, his buddy, your great former champion, Jason Starr. Jason is too busy trying to be famous to every venue but yours! And you fools cheer him for it! His time is OVER!

Tito: The man held the TKOW Title for nearly a year, and Power's just tossing him aside? This is insane!

Johnny: Power only cares about the workers pal. You show the effort for him, he shows you the fans and the money. You don't, and you're toast.

Tito: What about the Prince of Hell match? That's two of the six competitors gone.

T.H. Power: The releases are not going to affect this show. In a last minute change, Carpenter and Duke McFilthy will not only work through the First Blood Invitational, but they will also participate in the Prince of Hell battle. Assuming either is alive enough to do so.

Phoenix drops the sign and gets in Power's face as the crowd roars over the change.

Tito: Carpenter and Duke?

Johnny: It's an interesting choice. Pull out two big stars and put put in two lunatics. Well, one lunatic and a Home Depot frequent shopper.

Tito: I hear from the truck that new TV champion Cody is arriving. Let's move to the back and see what's going on there.

The KhaosTron shows the parking area, where Cody and Evelyn are stepping out of a limo.

John Alamy, new backstage interviewer for TKOW, arrives on the scene and excitedly puts the microphone in Cody's face.

Alamy: Cody! Great to see you! Congrats on that big win in the TV title tournament.

Cody Smiles and nods.

Alamy: I have to say, no one thought you'd pull it off, especially when Jason Starr was placed in your way.

Cody: I guess I have Hardcore Al to thank for that one. But either way I'm there, and I'm pumped for the next Mass Khaos and my first title defense.

Alamy: Speaking of titles, where IS the TV title?

Cody: Haven't gotten a belt yet John. Turns out T.H. is still having it minted or pressed or shined or something. They say I'll have it presented to me at Mass Khaos.

Alamy: I've heard some whispers that this reign of TV title will parallel the infamous HPWA Ringmaster title, which no champion could hold for more than a week for quite some time.

Cody: I have no plans to lose the belt. I'm proving myself in the ring for the first time, and NOBODIES going to change that.

Alamy: Sounds great Cody. Can I ask why you're here tonight?

Cody: I need to see what these guys are capable of. Somebodies going to be facing me for my title, and I need to know what everyone's willing to do.

Alamy: It was good talking to you champ. Good luck!

[TKOW Board]

Standing next to Power, Dr. Cliff Hawke flips through papers on a clipboard.

Cliff: Yeah, T.H., we?re all set. The TKOW med team is coordinating with us. Don?t bother worrying about it. Our med suite and team are ready. *letting the papers drop and looking at Power* I?ll be seeing you and everyone else soon enough. Try not to get too messed up, would you? And watch out for that nose.

Cliff nods at Power and walks off, disappearing in the movement of the crowd of workers backstage. A familiar piercing whistle cuts through the air. Power turns to look.

T.H. Power: Skye? I thought you were off aggravating Ma- oof!

Aello nails Power in the gut with a double mule kick, attempting a jawbreaker afterwards but he pulls free before she can and pulls her up and into the X-Twist.

T.H. Power: *standing* Sneaky little thing aren?t you and what?s this? *pointing at the spiked leather armbands above and below each elbow* AND barbwire on your gloves?

Aello: *getting to her feet, grinning* I said I was going to make up for the title stripping.

She hits Power with a jumping standing headscissors.

Aello: Besides, what better way in being the first to have a go at the Boss with my new toys?

Power retaliates with a front Russian leg sweep.

T.H. Power: You could strip for me!

Aello takes him down with a swinging neck breaker.

Aello: You say that to all the girls.

He pulls her up into a bearhug, making sure to pin her arms between the spiked bands.

T.H. Power: *big grin* It works! Sometimes?

Aello: *kicking his shins* Be happy I decided against spiking the toes of my boots.

He tightens the hug and she kicks at him more furiously. They?re both suddenly taken to the floor by a spear from Carpenter. Carpenter pulls Aello up and body slams her into the unassembled scaffolding to be used for the Prince of Hell match. He grabs one of the ladders and swings it around to nail Power, but Power ducks and grabs Carpenter, hitting the Baldo Bomb.

~CLANG!~

Aello bats Carpenter in the facemask with a piece of metal piping when he gets to his knees. He laughs and she swings and nails him again with another ~CLANG!~.

Duke McFilthy appears and climbs onto the stack of materials and takes Power down with a flying clothesline onto the dropped ladder. Carpenter stands, grabbing the pipe and jerking Aello to him, picks her up into an airplane spin and tosses her face first on the ladder next Power. Carpenter follows it up with a bionic elbow to the back of Power?s head as he gets up, driving his face into the ladder. Lancelot shows up and hits Aello with a leg drop as she tries to roll off the ladder.

Duke shows irritation that Carpenter hit Power and hits Carpenter with his own elbow drop. As Power gets to his feet he grabs the pipe and slams Duke in the head with it, nails Carpenter with it as well and grabs another ladder and holding it, standing bonsai drops it onto Carpenter.

Claire hands Bob one of the single paned windows that Duke bought and breaks it over Aello?s head. Duke bulldogs Power and low blows him. He pulls a chain from around his waist and wraps it around his fist, pounding Power in the face.

Carpenter gets up and headbutts Lancelot. Claire tries to hit him with a chair but he catches, jerks it from her and rams it into her stomach. He clocks Aello upside the head, tosses the chair to the floor and snap suplexes her onto it. Lancelot splashes Duke and Power.

Blood Child arrives, picks up Lancelot and chokeslams him. He pulls up Power and Duke and bashes their heads together, afterwards letting them go, picking up the pipe and heading toward Carpenter, who pulls Aello up and crucifix powerbombs her. He puts on his brass knuckles only to be met with a hard blow to the side of the head with the pipe from Blood Child.

Tito: Lets get to the matter at hand. We?ve got two hungry competitors, both looking for a shot at the Main Event.

Yuri Testkov: Your first match or the evening is scheduled for ONE fall, and is for a spot in the Prince of Hell main event~!

"Aerodynamic" plays throught the areana as a druid comes out with a casket. The Casket opens, only to reveal an....empty casket?

Yuri Testkov: Introducing first, from his mama?s crotch, standing 7 feet and weighing in at 320 pounds, DARK, SCHNITZZEL~!

As the cameras zoom up into the insides of the casket, Schnitzel comes out from under the casket and runs into the ring, so that when the cameras zoom back into the ring, Schnitzel will be standing there.

Schnitzel then smiles an evil smile and pryos come out from the ringposts.(kane style). When the pyros stop, hecalmes down and walks to one of the corner and sits there,waiting for Ghalleon.

Johnny: It looks like Schnitzel is hungry, that guy is a lard ass.

"Magic Emperor Ghaleon - Mechanical Castle" by 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.

Yuri Testkov: And his opponent, hailing from the Advanced Nation of Islam, standing 6 feet 5 inches, and weighing in at 243 pounds, he is the Advanced Human, he is GHALLEON~!

On the KhaosTron, 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.

Tito: You?re the best HPWA could come up with?

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.

Johnny: That?s so true.

Tito: That was a question, not a statement, and this match is underway.

Schnitzel and Ghalleon stare each other down, then they both stare up at where The Prince of Hell structure will be, then back at each other.

Both men lock up, Ghalleon tries to power Schnitzel, but Schnitzel only laughs at this. Schnitzel shoves Ghalleon to the mat.

Johnny: That was never going to work.

Schnitzel drops a knee right on Ghalleon?s Advanced Head. Then Schnitzel picks Ghalleon up and tosses him into the corner. Schnitzel goes to the far corner and runs straight to Ghalleon, nailing him with a Stinger Splash, The Ref asks for a break as Schnitzel just holds his weight on Ghalleon.

One,Two,Three, Four....Break.

Schnitzel moves out of the corner and Ghalleon falls to the mat.

Johnny: This match sucks!

Tito: It just started.

Johnny: And look, it?s already over.

Schnitzel goes for the pin.

One...

Two......



Three.....



No!



Ghalleon lifts a shoulder at the very last moment.

Tito: This is far from over!

Johnny: Somebody in the booth, switch to the Invitational, that?s far more entertaining.

Tito: Ignore him.

Schnitzel has Ghalleon up and he?s setting up for The Dark Claw.

Johnny: Ghalleon is hurt, this might be too much.

Schnitzel locks on The Dreaded ?Dark Claw?, and Ghalleon?s Feet go out from under him, but Schnitzel is palming Ghalleon?s head like a Basketball, and Ghalleon is just hanging in mid air.

Tito: Look at that strength!

Johnny: Yeah, he?s strong, but who cares? I?m the Ringmaster!

The Ref is asking Ghalleon, but Ghalleon is screaming ?No!!!? Schnitzel keeps the hold locked in, and Drops Ghalleon to his knees.

Tito: He can?t last in this!

Johnny: I hate to say this, but you?re right.

Schnitzel is frustrated, He releases the Dark Claw, in disgust.

Johnny: What the hell?

Tito: That?s a mistake.

Ghalleon starts to pick himself off the mat, only to have Schnitzel lace him with a stiff kick to the face. Ghalleon drops to the mat.

Johnny: Ouch!

Tito: Ouch, indeed!

Schnitzel picks up Ghalleon by the neck, and lifts him up for a Chokeslam, and Nails it. Schnitzel goes for the cover.

One...

Two.....



Thr....



Johnny: This guy is so stupid, Schnitzel is killing him, just stay down!

Tito: There seems to be No Quit in Ghalleon tonight, he wants that Title Shot, and he has to beat Schnitzel to even have a chance for it.

Schnitzel is getting more frustrated, and he yells at the Ref about the count. The Ref holds up two fingers, so Schnitzel holds up a finger of his own. This give Ghalleon a chance to make to his feet, but Schnitzel spots this and runs at Ghalleon delivering a Knee Lift that seems to knock out Ghalleon. Schnitzel ignores this and goes back to arguing with the Ref.

Johnny: Cover him you idiot!

Tito: What?s he thinking?

Johnny: He?s not thinking.

Ghalleon stirs then grabs the near ropes to pull himself up to his feet.

Tito: I thought Ghalleon would?ve won this match easily, but he?s but out of it since the bell, he hasn?t had any offense at all.

Johnny: It?s a sad day when you?re just outclassed by Dark Schnitzel.

Ghalleon staggers over to Schnitzel, but Schnitzel just pie-faces him down to the mat.

Johnny: This is embarrassing to watch, it?s so one-sided.

Tito: I have to agree, this is sad to watch, this could be the end of Ghalleon.

Ghalleon gets back up, as Schnitzel sees this, he just shakes his head in disbelief. Schnitzel grabs Ghalleon?s Arm and Irish Whips him into the far corner. Schnitzel rolls out of the ring, walks to the time keeper and grabs a chair.

Tito: What?s he trying to prove?

Johnny: Even Schnitzel isn?t dumb enough to get himself DQed here.

Schnitzel goes to the opposite corner that Ghalleon and the Ref are in, and wedges the chair between the second and top ropes. The ref doesn?t see this, and as Schnitzel walks over to Ghalleon, he gets the ref?s attention and shows him that there is a weapon in the ring.

Tito: Schnitzel is crazy, why bring a weapon into the match, only to show it to the Ref?

Johnny: Wait a minute, I see where this is going.

Tito: Care to share?

Johnny: Not with you.

The Ref runs to the other corner and tries to pull the chair out of the corner, as he does this Schnitzel sets Ghalleon?s legs up for The Sin Eater. Instead of playing up the moment, Schnitzel wastes no time and kicks Ghalleon directly in his Advanced ballsack.

Tito: Jesus Christ!

Johnny: Schnitzel might have hope after all.

The ref finally removes the chair, but didn?t see The Sin Eater, He throws the chair out of the ring. Schnitzel pulls Ghalleon out of the corner, and goes for the pin...

One...

Two......



Three.



No!



Johnny: What?s it going to take?

Tito: What does Schnitzel have left for Ghalleon?

Schnitzel goes insane and starts kicking the crap out of Ghalleon, The Ref tries to pull Schnitzel back, but Schnitzel shoves him off. Schnitzel starts breathing heavy, and stops kicking Ghalleon.

Johnny: He?s blown up!

Tito: It was bound to happen to a guy his size, he?s done so much, and in any other match it would?ve been enough, but this match is for a spot in The Prince of Hell Match, and Ghalleon is going to fight until he?s dead!

Ghalleon stirs, and finally gets back to his feet. Schnitzel turns around to find himself face to face with Ghalleon.

Johnny: You could cut the tension with a knife!

Schnitzel sucker punches Ghalleon in the gut and nails him with a sick DDT.

Johnny: I?m sorry but that has to be it!

Tito: For Ghalleon?s sake I hope so.

Schnitzel doesn?t even go for a cover, he rolls Ghalleon over and locks in the Mandible Claw. But Ghalleon bites the fingers. Schnitzel lets out a scream and tries to pull his fingers away, but Ghalleon has lock-jaw and will not let go. The ref starts a count to break the hold...

One, Two, Three, Four... Break.

Ghalleon releases Schnitzel?s hand, and Schnitzel walks to the far corner holding his hand.

Johnny: He?s bleeding under that glove, no doubt about it.

Ghalleon walks over to Schnitzel, and starts punching his head. Schnitzel blocks a punch after getting five or six solid blows to the head, and punches Ghalleon with his injured hand. Ghalleon falls down but so does Schnitzel. Schnitzel is screaming and clutching his hand.

Tito: I think it?s broken!

Johnny: If it is, that hand is totally useless.

Ghalleon Gets up first and kicks Schnitzel?s injured hand, then he stomps on it. Schnitzel screams in pain, like we?ve never seen before. Ghalleon delivers a Spinning Back Kick to Schnitzel?s Head, and Schnitzel Slumps in the corner still on his knees. Ghalleon steps a few feet back as Schnitzel makes it to his feet. Schnitzel turns around and is met with Ragnarok to his face.

Tito: The tide has turned!

Johnny: I can?t believe this!

Ghalleon pulls Schnitzel out of the corner and goes for a cover...

One...

Two....



Thr...



Schnitzel shoots the shoulder up. Ghalleon gets up and lifts Schnitzel to his feet, Ghalleon spins Schnitzel around and Locks Schnitzel in a Full Nelson, and he pushes Schnitzel into the corner, Ghalleon starts to climb the ropes, which forces Schnitzel to do the same, Ghalleon's feet are on the Second Rope, Schnitzel is so tall his feet are only on the First Rope.

Johnny: He can?t do it!

Tito: He?s going to try!

Johnny: He?s going to fail!

Ghalleon shocks the world and lifts Schnitzel up into a Perfect Blue, nailing it and nailing a perfect bridge on it for the pin...

Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

One....

Two....



Three!



Just after the ref?s hand hits the mat for the three count, Schnitzel leans up and breaks the bridge.

Tito: Did he get it up?

Johnny: No, no way!

Tito: The ref?s calling it! It?s over!

Johnny: Ghalleon pulled it off with an INCREDIBLE move!

Tito: That means he's going to be a competitor in the Prince of Hell. Good for him, I think...

Yuri Testkov: Your winner, and final entry in the Prince of Hell main event, GHAAAAAAAALLLLEEEEEEEOOOOONNNNN~!!

[TKOW Board]

Cody leans up against the wall in the waiting room. He's not here to wrestle tonight, just to sit back and be a fan for once. He wears a bright red shirt with two Interlocking Black D's on it. The back of his shirt reads "The Man Without Fear." He sips his coffee, watching the television monitor showing Aello, Power, and Carpenter fighting it out backstage.

Matt Griffen enters the room, closely followed by Lady Hawke.

Matt: For the love of god, Skye, could you give me some space?

She shakes her head "no." Cody turns and looks over to the two and he cracks a half smile before giving a wave. Hawke immediately waves back while Griffen gives him the ?WOMEN? look and walks over and grabs a bottle of water. Cody's eyes travel back up to the TV for a moment before giving out a small cheerful laugh.

Cody: "Some kind of insanity isn't it - the First Blood Invitational, I woulda joined but for the fact that I have to defend my title next week...and the week after - and the week after."

Griffen nods and drinks down an entire bottle and takes another, while trashing the empty.

Matt: Like the Ringmaster title at HPWA except it was every show. No break.

Cody: "Truth be told I wasn't gonna come in tonight - but Evey said I should - get to know the people I work with she says, make some friends - but to be honest, allot of people around here assholes - you guys excluded."

He sighs and sips on his coffee. Lady Hawke snorts at his asshole remark and playfully points to Griffen who chokes and nearly strangles when he sees. He coughs while wiping his eyes and face.

Matt: Damn it, woman! Would you lay off for just a bit? You?ve been riding me all week!

She shakes her head and writes on her pad as he tries to sip more water.

Writing On Pad: Only when we?re alone and not near as much as I?d like.;)

Griffen sprays out the water he is drinking and turns red. He wipes his face and stomps over to a large chair and sits. She follows and parks herself on the arm. Cody laughs at the display and he sips his coffee again.

Cody: "I don't know him enough to say if he's an asshole or not - but from what I've seen, you?re a nice guy Matt.?

Matt: *still peeved* Thanks man. *nodding head toward LH* Is your woman like that?

Cody: "Hangin' all over me? No...she's actually training right now, she wants to be a wrestler herself, and I agreed to help train her. Right about now she should be getting out of her first Tai Kwon Do Class.?

Matt: Good for her but I meant does she takes spells of just driving you up the wall?

He looks up at Skye with an exasperated expression while she just behaves as if nothing is out of the ordinary.

Matt: *getting a bit louder* ?like she?s doing to me right now?

Cody: "Not really , well not anymore, she used to drive me nuts with her wanting to be trained, but at the time I couldn't handle the thought of her being in the ring - especially with guys like Schnitzel running around. *Shudders*

Matt: Yeah, well he should get his ass kicked by Ghalleon tonight. If not, I?ll do it in the Prince of Hell match.

Cody: "Good - and do me a favor - kick him in the nuts - hard. Several times in fact. That freak of nature deserves it after what he said about my Evey."

Hawke writes on her pad again, holding it up.

Writing on Pad: If he has any nuts.

Just then the door slams open with Aello stumbling into the room. Hawke and Griffen immediately stand, but she heads toward the refreshment table to grab a quick drink. The Duke and Bob Lancelot follow Aello through the doorway trading blows?Lancelot doing his best to rake Duke with his trust rusty fork, while Duke returns the strikes with one of his chains interlaced with the Barbwire Super Fence in his fists. Cody calmly sips his coffee.

The Duke low blows Lancelot, following it with a DDT. He pulls Lancelot up and back out the door and across the hall, heaving him into one of the mirrors which leans against the wall. It shatters into long shards all around Lancelot, who immediately retaliates with some European uppercuts backing Duke toward the waiting area again.

Cody: "Oh he has them, I hit him in them several times, but apparently that wasn't enough - you might wanna try a baseball bat."

Aello grins mischievously and heads toward her two partners. Hawke whistles piercingly, shaking her head and steps in front of Griffen but he pulls her back. At the whistle The Duke and Lancelot pause only long enough to glance at each other and then toward the three fresh victims.

Aello: I was just going to ask for a drop of blood?

Cody refills his coffee and quietly moves toward the door.

Duke: I?ll take that and I want more than a drop?lots more.

Duke starts toward them but Lancelot shoves him to the side as they enter the room again, making him bump into Cody, spilling his coffee. Duke pulls back to attack Cody with the chain but the TV Champ hits Duke with Depravity and slips out the door, casually walking away.

Lancelot makes a beeline for the Birds, but Griffen picks up Aello and tosses her at him. She catches him with a flying swinging neckbreaker through the doorway, back into the hall. They both land in the shards. Claire steps into view and bashes Aello over the head with a chair, afterwards picking up one of the shards. Blood Child moves in, picks Claire up, and powerbombs her into a pile of the broken mirror pieces next to Lancelot.

Matt: I don?t have the time or the inclination for this. It's the Prince of Hell I need to worry about.

He walks out into the hallway, skirting the others, followed by Lady Hawke. Duke rouses up and re-enters the hall spearing Blood Child into the wall. As he steps back to whip Blood Child with the chain, Aello drop toe holds him into an STF.

Lancelot hurricanranas Blood Child as Aello releases McFilthy, twists and elbows Claire, not only hitting her with the spiked armbands but throwing up her forearm and fist, hitting her adversary hard in the face with the barbwire. Drops of red form over Claire?s face and exposed chest.

Claire: You bitch!!

The Duke throws them both women off, casting the chain around Aello?s throat and drawing it back for a choke. Aello grabs at the chain and headbutts Duke several times while kicking at Claire.

Power shows up, yanking Claire free of Aello, throwing her into Lancelot, who shoves her to the side, diving at Power with his fork. Carpenter appears and begins pummeling Blood Child with his brass knuckles.

Tito: That's getting off on the right foot isn't it?

James Orich comes right out, energetic and jumping around. He moves to one side of the stage to raise his arms, still jumping, than moves to the otherside, trying to get the crowd excited. He moves down the aisle way, halting most of his jumping, but still taunting alot. When he gets near the ring, he runs and slides into it, makes 225 degree turn towards the bottom-left turn buckle. He jumps onto the second ropes and raises his arms, than turns and sits on the top to wait for Lancelot.

Yuri Testkov: Introducing first, from Los Angeles California, standing just shy of 6 feet, and weighing in at 194 pounds, in his final TKOW match, JAMES, ORRRRRIIICCCCHHH~!

The lights go off and the music starts, Bob hobbles down to the ring to boo's from the crowd, wiping blood from his forehead, he steps into the ring and climbs onto the turnbuckle and points at the crowd, he then hops off of the turnbuckle and faces Orich.

Yuri Testkov: And his opponent, fresh off elimination from the First Blood Invitational, standing 5 feet 10 inches and weighing in at 230 pounds, the self proclaimed Hardcore Superstar, the former hunchback, BOB, LANCCCEEEELLLOTTT~!

Tito: Because these two wrestlers have bad blood between them, the ref has been specifically required to check the wrestlers for any weapons they might be holding.

Johnny: He better check Claire's brassiere then.

Tito: Tough break for "The Hardcore Superstar" Bob Lancelot. But it will be interesting to see what tactics he uses in a weaponless match.

*The two wrestlers are in their corners and the ref begins to check on Bob. The camera catches him sending very sinister looks to James Orich. The ref finds no weapons on Bob and goes to check on Orich.

This triggered Bob,who storms on Orich with furious blows. The ref barley escapes the impact. Claire yells on the ref to start the match, and with no other choice the ref obliges.*

Johnny: Here we go! Look at Bob, wasting no second in kicking Orich's ass.

Tito: This very well be a nasty encounter.

*Orich is pushed back into the turnbuckles and Bob just explodes. Orich gradually falls down to the floor. Bob climbs the turnbuckles and tucks Orich tight into his armpit. Bob jumps off and hits a tornado DDT. Orich grabs his head in agony as Bob is back on him with the blows. The ref desperately tries to separate the two, but Bob just pushes him off.

Finally Bob locks in a side headlock. The ref checks on the Orich situation, who clutches at Bob's arms. He gets to his knees and elbow Bob in the stomach, to which Bob releases the hold. Orich sends Bob to the ropes, but the recoil is too much as Bob comes back with ones of the stiffest lariats since the days of Stan Hansen.*

Tito: Monster qualities from Bob.

Johnny: He might of learned a thing or two from Schnitzel.

*Bob picks Orich up and nails him with a European Uppercut. Orich stumbles to the ropes. Bob elbows Orich in the head and sends him to the other side of the ring.

Orich jumps on the ropes and then does a back flip, crashing into Bob. Orich quickly follows up by jumping into the turnbuckles and hits a moonsault. He goes for the cover.*

Tito: Orich almost scored the win here.

Johnny: He'd be lucky if he ever gets that chance again in this match.

*Orich kicks Bob in the head and runs to the ropes, and comeback with a flipping senton. He goes for the cover yet again.

Orich quickly gets up and attempts a standing moonsault, but Bob stakes his knees into Orich's ribs. Orich grabs his ribs and rolls around Bob knee drops him in the stomach and drags him to one of the corners. He climbs up, measures carefully, and hits a top rope somersault leg drop! He covers.*

*The crowd reaction is deafening as Bob is just flipping around like an angry three year old. He suddenly stops, gets up,and points to his head, signaling that he has an idea. He drags Orich to one of the corners and climbs it. Bob is standing on the top turnbuckle, he flips the crowd off and gives Orich the "Suck it" sign.*

Tito: I think he's going for Orich's "The Know It All"!

Johnny: Boy gonna get whooped.

*Bob jumps off with a shooting star senton, but Orich rolls out of the way! Bob grabs his back in pain as Orich quickly jumps the rope,revolves and hits The Know It All! He covers,but Claire jumps on the ring apron and distracts the ref. Orich gets up and threatens to hit Claire,who in response flashes him!*

Johnny: They there are! The weapons of mass distraction!

Tito: Sometimes I wonder if we are sponsored by Playboy.

Johnny: Playstaion, actually.

Bob uses the distraction to low blow Orich, then connects with Swinging Bells!

Johnny: Bob Lancelot's career is looking up right now. I wonder where he'll get to go from here?

The cameras shift to the backstage where Ghalleon is shown talking to Pender and Blood Child. He nodds his head twice and then looks over their shoulders to see Aello come fighting around with SYSFI. Ghalleon motions to the two to take them out as he heads away from the scene.

SYSFI comes up and is met with a straight right hand from Blood Child. Pender goes over and grabs a pipe. He goes to hit Aello, but Aello blocks it by kicking Pender in the stomach. Blood Child then goes over and starts to knock Aello back some. He bends over and picks up the pipe, he then swings and connects with the face of SYSFI as he stands back up.

He's knocked out cold as blood starts to come out of his nose and mouth. Pender then starts with some knive edge chops on the chest of Aello. Pender then tries for a DDT, but Aello blocks it by continuously punching Pender in the stomach. Blood Child then goes over and tries to hit Aello with the pipe, but she blocks it and throws the pipe down. She then kicks Blood Child and then reaches back to claw him.

But as she does this, Pender sneaks in behind her and grabs her arms. Aello moves a bit and tries to get out of the hold, but Pender holds on. Blood Child stands back up as Aello gets free from Pender. She then starts to fight the two off when Duke come charging in. The two break out in fighting, until Blood Child and Pender get back into it. Aello starts knocking them away, until Pender grabs her again.

This time, Aello goes for a back elbow, which her armbands catch right over the left eye of Pender. Blood starts to pour out as Pender lets go of Aello. He goes to put his hands over the cut, but blood seaps through the fingers of Pender. He does this as Aello starts to fight Blood Child and Duke off. Off in the distance, you can hear Pender yell out in pain.

Pender: My face! Look what you did to my face you bitch! Ahhhh!

Medics and trainers come over to tend to Pender as SYSFI lays on the cold, concreate floor. You can hear him curse and knock officials away as he holds onto his eye. Out of a blinding rage, Pender bursts away from the officals and heads back to Aello. He knocks her down to the ground and starts to choke her with his two hands while blood pours down his face.

On the way by, Matt Griffin sees this and rushes over to help Aello out. He knocks Pender away as he chases him off. Pender backs away as Duke and Blood Child start to fight off torwards other members in the Inventational.

Pender: Stay out of this Matt! This has nothing to do with you!

Matt backs off thinking he's not worth his time as Duke and Blood Child start their fight again with Nate Redman and T.H Power. Power starts to fight Duke off as Blood Child starts to work on Redman. BC takes ahold of Redman and slams his face into a nearby door. Thus busting him open. Power knocks Duke down and goes over to work on BC. Meanwhile, Aello starts to get back up from this. Pender is seen off by a corner, now loosly bandaged up he peers on at Aello.

Pender: I'll show that bitch not to mess with me. You can't ruin a face like mine! I'll destroy her.

But as Pender says that, a familer man stands behind him, rather pissed off. He taps Pender on the shoulder, Pender turns around and sees that its the TKOW TV Champion, Cody. Pender goes for a right hand, but Cody ducks and spins behind Pender. He then drags him over and gives him a German Suplex onto a pile of rods. The crowd starts to chear for Cody as Pender layes there.

Cody: You're scum for trying to attack a woman.

The remaining members of the Inventational start to fight off into the distance as the camera moves from Pender to Cody walking away.

Tito: Well that drops SYSFI, Pender, and Redman from the Invitational.

[TKOW Board]

The fighting has spilled to the parking lot where The Duke is beating down T.H. Power while Carpenter lies on one of the car hoods close to being unconscious from a previous spine buster from Blood Child. Duke whips Power into a Honda Civic and Power howls before falling to the floor in agony. Duke elbow drops onto Power?s back and locks in an STF on the boss.

Tito: If you?re just tuning in?we are again back at the First Blood Invitational and Duke is definitely in control, a surprise no doubt.

Johnny: Tito, shut your trap. Duke McFilthy?I like this kid. He?s got guts unlike what I can say about the rest of these TKOW cronies.

From behind Carpenter attacks Duke from behind with a CAR RIM!!! Carpenter smashes it over Duke?s head, as McFilthy falls haplessly to the cold floor. Carpenter is emotionless no pain, no happiness on his face as he takes the rim with both hands and throws it on Duke?s back producing a huge scream!

Tito: Oh god! Carpenter looks to have this won!

Johnny: Turn him around! Come on! Turn him around Carpenter take one for me!!!

Tito: What?!!

Johnny: Shut up.

Carpenter throws the rim away and pounds on Duke?s back before grabbing Duke by the head and lifting him into a scoop slam position and going back to that same car with the smashed hood. Carpenter looks at the broken glass coldly and is about to throw Duke on the hood but Aello takes his legs from underneath with a steel pipe. Both Carpenter and Duke fall in a heap as Aello drags Carpenter by the hair and throws him into a load of boxes. Carpenter gets up quickly and spears her right back down from there!

Tito: Doesn?t he experience any pain dammit!

Carpenter looks at Aello and drags her carcass out of the parking lot onto the front steps, where some security guards are standing by. On Carpenter?s way back to the lot, The Duke jumps him and the two have started brawling. Both men exchange fists but Carpenter immediately gets the upper hand and forces Duke back. Carpenter whips Duke into the side of a car and revs up for a spear but Duke dodges and Carpenter CRASHES INTO THE SIDE!

Johnny: Oh damn that?s lights out for Carpenter I think?NO?he?s getting up?

Tito: Did he get like a secret metal plate surgery in his head or something?!!

Carpenter shakes his head, buffing his metal mask while The Duke waits and charges with a high knee but misses and hits the sides. Duke falls clutching his right knee and Carpenter slides back up with a nasty look on his face. He looks around dazed and picks up a shard of the leftover glass and advances towards Duke looking for a stab, but Duke kicks Carpenter?s arm and sends the shard flying before getting back up and struggling to throw some punches to fend off Carpenter.

Johnny: Carpenter is just showing his inhumanity?I mean he isn?t even tired how can you expect him to draw blood?

Tito: Umm?those two points don?t have any relations.

Duke brings Carpenter down with a leg scissors but out of nowhere Blood Child jumps into view (probably from the top of a car) and splashes onto McFilthy. Both Blood Child and Duke lay for a few seconds before trying to strangle each other, Duke kicks Blood Child in the nuts and DDT?s him to the floor.

Tito: I think we can safely say Blood Child is out of this now.

Duke gets up?WHACK!!! A thunderous shot to the head from Carpenter with that leftover car rim!!! Duke is dazed almost staggering in a drunk motion until Carpenter comes around, lifts Duke up and back suplexes him into a car?s hood!!!

Carpenter forces Blood Child to his feet and walks him to the front doors of the arena. He knocks on the glass and chuckles.

Tito: What could he be doing?

Carpenter grabs Blood Child, and moves back and few feet, holding BC by the scruff of the neck and waistline of his trunks. He aims, starts to run forward, turns, whipping BC in a full circle, and FIRES him into the door, headfirst! Blood Child bounces off, crumpling to the floor.

Tito: He's trying to break his neck!

Carpenter releases a brass knuck from his waist, finds the spot where Blood Child hit, and slams his fist into the glass. A small crack appears, and Carpenter hits again, and again, making spider vein cracks all along the area. He hauls Blood Child up again and repeats the previous throw, DRIVING his face into the now cracked glass. Carpenter pulls Blood Child back and looks at his face, shrugs, and drives him into the glass again. Carpenter doesn't stop, slamming Blood Child into the glass again and again, even increasing the power he uses after Blood Child finally gets busted open!

Aello: Now that's not nice...

Carpenter stops, giving Blood Child a slight shove, letting him fall flat on his face.

Carpenter: When did I ever pretend to be nice, little birdy?

Carpenter turns and sees Aello behind him. In the slight distance, Duke and Power are trading blows AGAIN.

Carpenter: I'm going to bleed you slowest of all, you know. And you know why, don't you? Should I tell everyone? Should I?!?

Aello yells and charges Carpenter, spearing him through the glass door!! As tehy land inside, Aello blindly strikes out, wailing away on Carpenter with both barbed wire gloved hands. A guttural laughter rises from the masked man as his metal mask begins smearing with blood. Two refs run in and pull Aello off of Carpenter as Duke staggers to the doorway with a bloody Power in hand.

Aello: LET ME GO!! LET ME GO YOU-

Carpenter gets up, cracking his neck, and wipes at his mask. He looks at the blood dripping off of Aello's hands and cocks his head to one side, laughing as he clinks his brass knuck agains the metal of his mask.

Carpenter: Silly birdy.

Carpenter looks towards the very tired Duke and Power, and unbuttons his coat. He picks up a piece of glass and draws one edge down his chest, cutting himself open.

Carpenter: Prince of Hell's coming up. I'm going to go relax a bit. See you there, Dukey.

Johnny: It looks like Duke McFilthy is the First Blood Invitational winner!

Tito: That means only one thing. The Bronx Beatdown Hidden Treasure match is next!

[TKOW Board]

A low guitar riff begins...

A deep voice booms out "Time to Rise!" as the tron lights up with fiery lettering spelling out "Rise Like the Phoenix", and a flash shot of Phoenix's bloody entrance at the final match of the Ring Syndicate Memorial Cup plays on the KhaosTron.

[Scott Stapp]
"Walking around I hear the sounds
of the earth seeking relief."

"I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path."

Fog rolls out and a circle of fire lights on the stage. A flash shot of Phoenix crushing Cobryn with a steel chair.

[Scott Stapp]
"Oh these thorns in my side
oh these thorns in my side."

"I know I have something free
I have something so alive."

"I think they shoot cause they want it.
I think they shoot cause they want it."

"I THINK THEY SHOOT CAUSE THEY WANT IIIIIIIIIIIIIAH"

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

The stage and turnbuckles explode with flame pyro as 'Bullets' by Creed kicks into full effect. Phoenix rises through the circle of flames, down on one knee, head on his fist, wearing his sleeveless black trench and his Rosary. He jumps to his feet and the turnbuckles explode again.

[Scott Stapp]
"I feel forces all around me
come on raise your heeeeeaaaad.
Those who hide behind the shadows
live with all that's deeeeeaaaad."

Phoenix stalks to one side of the stage, looks at the screaming crowd, and thrusts both arms out to his sides, hands loosely open, drawing in the energy. He suddenly puts both arms straight up in the air and his hands turn to the middle finger, and he jaws out to the crowd, as shots of him going after Hardcore Al and Soulfly as a civilian play on the Tron.

[Scott Stapp]
"LOOK AT MEEEEAH! LOOK AT MEEEEEEAH!
(LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH)
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head...
Through my head...
Through my head..."

Fast motion clips play of Phoenix delivering the Phoenix Driver to a bevy of opponents, including D-Matic, Matt Griffen, Soutter, Adam Haven, Johnny Styles, Syberus, Clench, Dustin Hughes, Dan Stein, Mars, Rick Dushae, Dave Rave, Extreme Killer Phil, Soulfly and Jace Mingla.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER, HAILING FROM RED BANK NEW JERSEY, WEIGHING IN AT 265 POUNDS AND STANDING 6 AND A HALF FEET, HE IS THE FOUNDING MEMBER OF SECTION 8 AND PART OWNER OF THE HIGHER POWER WRESTLING ASSOCIATION, HE IS, PHOOOEEEEEEEEEEENIXXXXXAH~!!!

[Scott Stapp]
"In my lifetime when I'm disgraced
jealousy and lies.
I laugh aloud 'cause my life
has gotten inside someone else's mind."

Phoenix moves to the other side of the stage and repeats, getting another burst of energy in response.

Johnny: What a damned showoff. You know he ducked me in HPWA forever.

[Scott Stapp]
"LOOK AT MEEEEAH! LOOK AT MEEEEEEAH!
(LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH)
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my heeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaad
(my heeeeeeeeaaaaaad)"

The crowd roars and he begins making his way down towards the ring as the haze dissipates, playing up the crowd with a load of energy.

Tito: Phoenix is in full gear, black sleeveless leather bodysuit, that remade Kane mask, fingercut gloves and trench coat.

Johnny: What're you his fashion consultant?

Tito: He's also wearing his latest logo shirt. So there.

Johnny: Phoenix pushed his way through Megabowl 4, defeating Jace Mingla in a classic Blood Money Hitman Ladder Match to skyrocket to the top of the charts, but left TKOW shortly before his Custom Chaos title match with Hardcore Al, forfeiting a shot at Soulfly at TKOW Forever. With all the departures TKOW has seen, Phoenix's return placed him right back at the top of a very short list.

[Scott Stapp]
"Hey...
All I want is what's real,
something to touch and to feel.
I'll hold it close and never let it go..."

A clip shot plays of Phoenix with Kijo, Jessica, and Dominique.

[Scott Stapp]
"Say why...
Why do we live this life
with all this hate inside?
I'll give it away 'cause I don't want it no more."

Shots show Phoenix arriving from his Shaolin training.

[Scott Stapp]
"Please...
help me find a place,
somewhere far away.
Yes I'll go and you'll never see me again."

Phoenix slides into the ring, hops up and hits the turnbuckle to the second rope, pounding his chest and thrusting his arms back out to the sides, then he points straight down at the Hidden Treasure crates with a middle finger salute as the corner behind him explodes in fire.

[Scott Stapp]
"LOOK AT MEEEEAH! LOOK AT MEEEEEEAH!
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
(Through my heeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaad)"

Phoenix hits all four corners, then pulls off the coat, dropping it in the last corner, and hangs his Rosary over the ringpost, then motions for a mic from ringside.

[Scott Stapp]
"LOOK AT MEEEEAH! LOOK AT MEEEEEEAH!
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaad"

"LOOK AT MEEEAH! LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH..."

Phoenix waits for the crowd to calm slightly after the music ends.

Phoenix: Tonight, I place one more nail in the coffin of the FIRM. Their ranks have dwindled, their company is lost, their leader, weak. Tonight, I bring the light back to the TKOW Title, and you fans can once again be proud of your champion. Tonight, Ride or Die will

Crowd: FEEL MY PAIN~!

A mechanical drum beat fills the arena, opening "Dizzy" by Orgy, as the lights dim. The KhaosTron shows a giant pot leaf which is rotating clockwise, it speeds up, giving a spiral effect until it disappears into the center and the TKOW Title pops out of the circle, just as the rest of the musicians kick in and Jay Gordon?s voice is heard.

Fly steps in between the ropes and makes his way across the ring, he stands up on the opposite turnbuckle, posing with the belt in the air, the KhaosTron cuts to the live feed. The lights come back on as the lyrics come back in, Fly steps down and walks around absorbing the heat.

Johnny: Wow now is the moment I've been waiting for all night! The Bronx Beatdown Hidden Treasure match for the TKOW Title!

Tito: Now the rules to this match are quite simple, the ringside area is cleared of all clutter and is instead filled by lots of wooden crates, only one crate contains the TKOW Title, whilst the others are either empty, contain weapons and three of them contain firebomb explosives set to detonate randomly at three minute intervals! Oh and to add to the fun, there are metal stickball bats on poles in each corner of the ring! The first man to get the title from the crate and put it around his waist wins!

Johnny: This match is gonna' rule!

Phoenix and Soulfly circle the ring several times before staring each other in the eye as the referee rings the bell to start the match up but both men just stare at each other.

Johnny: Both men are waiting for an opportunity to start the violence!

Without warning Soulfly knocks Phoenix to the ground with one mighty right hook and then dashes into the corner of the ring and climbs the turnbuckle to and takes a stickball bat down from the poll.

Tito: Advantage Soulfly!

Soulfly hops down from the turnbuckle and stalks Phoenix with the bat and as Phoenix gets to his feet, Soulfly slams the bat down hard across the top of Phoenix's shoulders!

Johnny: Ouch!

Phoenix rolls around the ring in agony, but is hit again, square across the back with another stickball bat shot courtesy of Soulfly! Phoenix clasps his back and gets to his feet but is struck back down by another shot slammed onto his forehead by the stickball bat!

Tito: Phoenix is taking one hell of a beating at the hands of that stickball bat!

As Soulfly celebrates his achievement by waving the stickball bat at the crowd, Phoenix drags himself underneath the bottom rope and on top of the crates and begins to pry one open with his hands.

Johnny: What if it contains a firebomb!?

Tito: How is Phoenix gonna open the crate with his bare hands anyways?

Johnny: Look!

Phoenix yanks open the crate and reaches inside taking out a sack. As he does so, Soulfly realizes he is active again and hops through the middle rope with his stickball bat, but he doesn't realize Phoenix has the sack and Phoenix swings the sack over his head and smacks Soulfly in the face with it knocking Soulfly back into the ring and causing him to drop the bat!

Tito: What is in that sack?

Phoenix climbs back into the ring and holds the sack up to the crowd before emptying its contents all over the mat.

Johnny: Brass knuckles!

Soulfly slowly gets to his feet but Phoenix reaches down and grabs a pair of the knuckles. Soulfly gets up, turns around and is decked with a right hand from Phoenix! Soulfly slowly gets back up to his feet but is met by a clothesline from Phoenix, knocking him back onto the mat, Soulfly gets up once more but again is clotheslined down.

Tito: You can see the blood starting to come out of Soulfly's mouth!

Phoenix kicks Soulfly in the stomach and goes back to the outside, climbing over the crates trying to decide which one to open next.

Johnny: Phoenix must be careful now, the first three minutes is almost up.

Phoenix picks up Soulfly's old stickball bat and uses it to smash open a crate near the ring barrier, he looks inside but nothing is there.

Tito: Phoenix drew a blank.

Phoenix again uses the stick to smash up the adjacent crate.......BOOM!! The crowd let off a "Holy Shit" chant as Phoenix soars backwards over the ring barrier and into the crowd, slamming down hard onto the concrete! The explosion also smashed opens several of the surrounding crates!

Johnny: HE'S DEAD!! Holy Shit Phoenix is DEAD! That firebomb just blew his fucking head off!

Soulfly just sits in the ring, his face expressionless as the crowd continues to chant "Holy Shit!" Soulfly looks around, wiping the sweat from his forehead, while Phoenix lies in the crowd, smoke rising from his suit.

Johnny: Soulfly doesn't know what to do; he certainly doesn't want to be on the receiving end of an explosion like that!

Phoenix starts to stir in the crowd, Soulfly notices this and climbs to the outside and starts to survey the recently exploded crates for the title belt, but the crates were all empty.

Tito: That explosion caused a fair few of the other crates to smash open also, I wouldn't be surprised if the title belt blew up with them!

Soulfly shrugs his shoulders and clambers up onto the ringside barrier and leaps off into the crowd with a leg drop to the back of Phoenix's neck!

Johnny: Soulfly is risking his own body for the sake of taking out Phoenix!

Soulfly is first to his feet and shoves an crowd member from their seat, folds it up and slams it across Phoenix's face as he tries to sit up, Phoenix sits there dazed and looks at Soulfly with a blank expression on his face.

Tito: Phoenix is too out of it to even fall down!

Soulfly slams the chair across Phoenix's face a second time, but again Phoenix just stares blankly at him. Soulfly looks mad and raises the chair over his head to deliver a final blow to Phoenix but Phoenix darts forward and gores Soulfly right through the ringside barrier and into the crate debris!

Johnny: What a gore!

Phoenix mounts Soulfly and lays in on him with right and left hands to his face then pulls the ninja chain off his forearm, wrapping it around his fist! Phoenix smashes that fist right into the forehead of Soulfly!

Tito: Soulfly is busted wide open!

The crimson mask starts to pour down Soulfly's face as Phoenix continues to tear at his flesh with the debris from the crates! Phoenix stands up off Soulfly then smacks him across the stomach with the pipe and then tee's up one of the crates near the front left turnbuckle and swings at it with the pipe like it was a golf club, the crate smashes open and inside it actually contains a golf club!!

Johnny: Holy shit a golf club!

Phoenix picks up the golf club and walks back to Soulfly.

Tito: Now all he needs is some balls!

Phoenix tee's up in-between Soulfly's legs and swings straight down a perfect shot on his testicles! The crowd break out in a "Phoenix" chant as Soulfly screams in pain, clutching his tescticles and rolling around ringside!

Johnny: That'll need some ice later on!

Tito: Speaking of ice....another firebomb should be exploding soon!

Johnny: Whats that gotta do with ice??

Tito: Fire...Ice...Get it??..........Meh I'm wasted!

Phoenix picks up Soulfly and drags him by the head towards a bunch of crates towards the back on the ring.

Johnny: No...No...One of those is bound to explode soon!

Phoenix lifts Soulfly up and drops him face first on one of the crates, he smashes through it.

Tito: No, not that one....

Phoenix picks Soulfly up again and drops him face first onto another crate......

Tito: Not that one either....

Phoenix stomps on Soulfly in rage and then lifts him up a third time and chokeslams him through another crate? BOOM!!

Tito: They got lucky there! The bomb was on the other side of the ring.

Soulfly picks up a bag.

Tito: Whats in that bag?

Phoenix slides back into the ring to survey the burning crates on the far side as Soulfly gets back up to his feet. He slides in and nails Phoenix with a glass jar in the back of the head. Soulfly then grabs a pipe and nails Phoenix in the stomach a few times. Soulfly looks around slightly, then picks Phoenix up and rams his head into the nearby turnbuckle. He goes to do it again, but Phoenix puts up his boot and blocks it, then throws Soulfly into the corner. Phoenix starts to fire right hands, still chain wrapped, as the crowd starts getting behind him. He picks Soulfly up, placing him on the top rope, and grabs the chair from earlier, climbs through the ropes, and points the chair down at the crates.

Tito: He?s not going to try what I THINK he?s going to try, is he?

Johnny: I bet he is.

Phoenix looks like he?s measuring airspeed, and tosses the chair into the flames onto the crates. Soulfly wakes from his daze and notices he?s on the top rope, and swats at Phoenix, but the challenger jabs his in the throat with a knifeedge chop and drops the hammer (his fist wrapped in the chain) down onto Soulfly?s resting-on-the-turnbuckle family jewels!

Tito and Johnny and the Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!

Phoenix positions Soulfly facing away from him and climbs the ropes, all the way to the top, breaths in, drops the chain, hauls Soulfly up to his shoulder, falls, twists, and Death Pyre into the fiery pit below!

The crowd immediately starts chanting ?YOU GOT BURNED!? mixed with ?HOLY SHIT!?

Tito: I can?t see them! Are they ok?

A few standing-by crewmembers spray down the area with extinguishers.

Johnny: Does it matter? That?s what people love to see! Unadulterated nonthinking carnage!

A camera on the apron spies down as the extinguisher fog dissipates. Phoenix and Soulfly are both lying in the rubble and ash of a half dozen crates, flesh singed.

Tito: Will either man even be able to continue?

Even as Phoenix starts to stir, out from the back runs Ghalleon and Salazar.

Tito: Hey! These two men are scheduled to compete in the Prince of Hell match, what are they doing out here now?

The crowd starts to boo as he grabs a stickball bat and nails Phoenix in the back with it then slides into the ring. Salazar gets Phoenix into the ring and Ghalleon hits him once in the chest with the bat as Salazar gets in. They then move Phoenix up and place him on the top rope as Ghalleon climbs to the second rope.

Tito: I don't belive this! Phoenix is being attacked by Ghalleon and Salazar!

Johnny: Soulfly said that he was working on new blood for the FIRM, could these two be it?

Ghalleon then locks his hands under Phoenix's arms and then flips him back for the Perfect Blue. Duke McFilthy then makes his way out to the ring. He slides in and starts to take the boots to Phoenix.

Tito: Duke too??

Johnny: I had heard they were in talks.

The three then turn and help Soulfly up into the ring. As Soulfly shakes hands with Ghalleon, he?s turned and locked into a 51/50 from Duke!!

Tito: Whats going on here?

Ghalleon then raises his arms up into a X sign. He then jerks the arms down as he signals for something. He bends over to pull the stiring Phoenix up. He sets him up for the first step of the Overdrive.

Tito: No! Don't do this! We've seen him hospitalize Dustin Hughes with this move!

Suddenly, "Deathcrush" by Mayhem begins to slam across the sound system as red pyro showers down from the ceilings, and Ghalleon stops, his face in utter shock, as he slowly turns his head to the stage.

Johnny: What the hell?

Tito: I CAN?T BELIEVE IT! HE?S BACK!

T.H. Power?s Voice: Ladies and Gentleman boys and girls sex fiends of all ages, I proudly introduce you to the NEW General Manager of TKOW as appointed by me just this afternoon, SAMHAIN!!!

The KhaosTron is consumed by flickering strobe-like images of Samhain's face and in-ring footage. The name "SAMHAIN" is carved into flesh on screen.

Samhain emerges from the back, follwed by T.H. Power, Kid Styles, and Matt Griffen. He bends over and swings back up throwing both arms in the air with a loud scream as the fans in the arena ignite with cheers! Samhain walks down the rampway and enters through the ring ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle raising both arms and giving the horned salute to the fans with a loud roar.

Tito: To those of you who are new to us, Samhain is a former TKOW TV Champion, leader of Mayhem Syndikate, and one of the most imposing threats TKOW has ever seen!

Samhain: Just as a point of reference, I go by Jesse James Blackwood now.

Tito: This man could call himself Roseanne, I really don?t think it would change anyone?s opinion of him.

JJB: Ghalleon, if you or either of your friends so much as SWEAT on either of these two men again while this match is still going on, I?ve been given the authority to revoke all of you from the Prince of Hell match and ensure none of you receives a title shot for a LOOOOOONG time.

Johnny: Its about time for another firebomb.

Tito: You love timing these, don?t you?

Johnny: I love action and violence, what can I say?

Ghalleon sneers and slowly backs away, allowing Phoenix to drop down to all fours.

JJB: Go run along now. Shoo!

The three men exit the ring, warily keeping their eyes on Jesse James Blackwood and the three members of Section 8 in the ring.

JJB: Let this match continue!

Power, Griffen, Styles, and Blackwood all leave the ring, moving up the ramp after Ghalleon, Salazar, and Duke.

Soulfly manages to get to his feet first and hits a weak Evenflow, then he goes to the top rope. Phoenix rolls slightly as Soulfly jumps off and attempts a five star frog splash. But Phoenix moves out of the way and Fly crashes into canvas. Just seconds later, the last firebomb goes off and the most of the remaining crates go up.

Phoenix shakes the cobwebs and grabs Fly, slamming him with the Xing Buster. With all the pain, he manages to hop back to his feet, thrusts out his arms, and yells, a low guttural scream to the crowd.

Tito: It looks like Phoenix is going to try and tie together Rebirth! If he nails each part of this, he may keep Soulfly down long enough to find that belt.

Phoenix grabs Soulfly, forcing him to his feet, and hooks his head under his arm. He grabs Fly?s trunks and hoistsFly off his feet, swivels, and PLANTS him skullfirst into the mat!

Tito: That?s two! Only two left!

Johnny: Would you like a few tissues for your pants?

Phoenix then goes over to a nearby corner and starts to climb. He stands up tall on the top turnbuckle, and let?s go with the Fire Flight!

Tito: That?s a near perfect swanton bomb!

Johnny: That only leaves one thing left to do.

The crowd continues to get louder as Phoenix staggers to his feet, using the ropes for support. He pulls off his mask, tossing it into the crowd, and starts waving for Soulfly to get up.

Tito: Does Soulfly have anything left in the tank? Phoenix is goading him now, even taking his mask off at a crucial point in the match!

Johnny: He?s going to regret that. Soulfly is a crafty mother.

Tito: Father.

Johnny: Shut up.

Soulfly rolls away from Phoenix, and we see him pull something from his tights. He stands up and, in a daze, turns around, only to have Phoenix hoist him up to his shoulders! Soulfly struggles, and smacks the object on Phoenix?s now bare forehead! Phoenix crumples to the mat, and Soulfly shows off his blackjack!

Tito: That?s not right!

Johnny: You?re just upset cause Soulfly found a way out.

Fly slides out of the ring and sifts through the ash at ringside for the title belt. When he comes up empty, he looks around and sees that only three are left ?intact?. He frowns and gets back into the ring, runs and jumps over Phoenix, hops to the ropes, and nails the Slingshot!

Tito: Soulfly now back in command, and not many choices.

Johnny: Personally I want to check with Vegas on the odds that the belt would be in one of the last three crates.

Soulfly rolls right back outside the rings and grabs one of the stickball bats and starts bashing at the nearest crate. His eyes light up and he dives into the crate, coming up with the title belt!

Tito: Isn?t that the UCW Television Title?

Johnny: Last I remember that thing before HPWA retired it was Adrian Tanner Jr trying to flush it down a toilet.

Apparantly Soulfly last saw the title there too, immediately dropping the belt back into the crate and wiping his hand on his tights. He looks at the last two crates and begins the scientific ?eeny meeny miney moe? method. He busts into the chosen crate and pulls out tickets to the next FTW event!

Tito: We don?t like them, right?

Johnny: It?s in the contract.

Soulfly pulls open the back of his tights and wipes his crack with the tickets and drops them on the floor.

Tito: Only one left, and Phoenix is just starting to move in the ring.

Johnny: I almost thought he could pull it off. But I still put my money on Soulfly.

Soulfly casually strolls to the final crate, swings?

And stops before connecting.

Tito: Now what?

Johnny: That?s one heinous looking smile he?s got on!

Soulfly?s grinning from ear to ear as he picks up the crate and throws it over the top rope into the ring. He slides in and positions the crate, then starts choking Phoenix as he pulls him up into a side Russian legsweep setup.

Tito: He?s going to Downstroy Phoenix into the crate!

Johnny: Through the crate, if there?s a gambling god.

Soulfly bends, and swings, but Phoenix uses one arm and stops the momentum by bracing against the crate! Soulfly knocks the arm down and goes again, and again Phoenix blocks!

Soulfly drops the hold and swings with the bat, but Phoenix swats it away with his left arm! Soulfly swings again, and another swat! Soulfly takes a step back and takes a BIG swing, but Phoenix grabs his wrist and sends a palm strike to his face! Soulfly?s head snaps back and his arms flail as Phoenix steps in, locking Fly?s bat arm in his right arm, and back elbows him, grabs his head, and hits a Stunner! Fly?s staggers and falls onto the crate!

Johnny: He emptied the tank on that one!

Tito: No! Phoenix has something left!

Phoenix stumbles to the ropes, stepping through, and forces himself to climb up top one more time. He almost slips off the top, but manages to make it, only to have Soulfly crotch him!

Johnny: Soulfly made his move just in time!

Soulfly weakly punches at Phoenix, and starts climbing the ropes, hooking Phoenix for a superplex! He pulls Phoenix up, but Phoenix hooks the top rope with his foot and blocks the attempt. They start trading kidney punches, but the slightly smaller Phoenix shift, and puts Soulfly onto his shoulders with a TREMENDOUS effort! He gets his legs back over the top rope, wobbles as he shifts the weight, and jumps off the second rope, putting Soulfly through the final crate with a Phoenix Driver!

Tito: Tell me I didn?t just see that!

Johnny: Meh. I heard he did one from the top rope to the floor once.

The crowd is feeling like Tito though, chanting, again, as Phoenix's limbs move but he gets nowhere. The glint of metal can be seen in the wreckage under Soulfly?s head. Lying on his back, twitching, Phoenix feels around, finally finding the belt, and tries to pull it out.

Tito: He's going to do it Johnny!

Johnny: He still has to put it on. At this point he?d be lucky to point at the thing.

Phoenix manages to hook one end of the strap under his arm and just rolls, using his weight to force the belt out. He rolls to the apron, pulling himself underneath the ropes, and sits there, leaning back against the steel cables. He grasps one end of the belt and yells in pain.

Tito: That's the arm he used to block the stickball bat. It could be broken!

Johnny: Metal pole? Shattered pal. Forget broken.

Phoenix clamps that side of the strap down with his elbow and reaches behind himself, taking the other end and pulling it around as Soulfly starts to move.

Johnny: MOVE IT SOULFLY!!

Clumsily using one hand, Phoenix starts trying to clasp the straps together. Soulfly, having rolled to the other side of the ring, gets to his feet using the ropes and sees the face of the belt on Phoenix's back. His eyes get wide and he bounces off the ropes, runs, and baseball slides into Phoenix's back, knocking him into the guardrail!

Tito: No!! He was so close!!

Johnny: YES! CMON SOULFLY!!

As the camera moves into position, referee Colin Oscepe, on that side of the crowd, hops the guardrail as Phoenix stands up. The camera shows the belt still around his waist, and Colin calls the match!!

Tito: He pulled it out! We have a new champion!!

Johnny: We?ll never hear the end of this.

Soulfly hangs over the second rope, still weak, but in disbelief.

Yuri Testkov: YOUR WINNER, AND NEEWWWWWWWWWWWW TKOW CHAMPION, PHOEEEEEENIXXXXXX~!!

"Bullets" kicks on as Section 8 runs down the ramp to congradulate Phoenix and help him to the back.

[TKOW Board]

Tito: It's time for Marilyn Manson, performing an old favorite, Long Hard Road Out of Hell!

Johnny: Personally I just want to see the Prince of Hell structure set up. Time for more pain!

Manson is on the stage dressed as an amalgam of Soulfly, D-Matic, and Miranda. The Tron is completely black as the beginning riffs of Long Hard Road Out of Hell. The KhaosTron begins showing the same video seen at Mass Khaos.

You've seen Ultimate X.

The screen flashes a straight down view of a ring, with a cross over the ring.

I want to fly into your sun
Need faith to make me numb

You've climbed the ladders.

The screen flashes four times, each time a shot of a ladder, each shot gaining height.

Live like a teenage christ
I'm a saint, got a date with suicide

You've experienced Scaffold matches.

The screen flashes the tops of the ladders, showing the cross seen earlier to be metal mesh crosswalks,

Oh Mary, Mary
To be this young is oh so scary
Mary, Mary
To be this young I'm oh so scared

You've sweat through an inferno match.

The screen flashes the straight down view again, but the sides of the cross burst into flames.

I wanna live, I wanna love
But its a long hard road, out of hell

You're a god at King of the Hill.

The screen flashes and the camera pans above the crosswalk and the fire to show Phoenix standing in the center of the cross.

I wanna live, I wanna love
But its a long hard road, out of hell

You'll need it all.

You never said forever, could ever hurt like thiiiiiiis
You never said forever, could ever hurt like thiiiiiiis

The screen flashes the structure over and over as spotlights flare onto the actual structure, hanging from the ceiling as it begins to lower slowly.

Spin my way out of hell
There's nothing left for this soul to sell
I live fast and die fast too
How many times to do this for you?

Crewmembers begin to file out from the sides of the rampway, wheeling gas tanks to the ring.

How many times to do this for you?
Mary, Mary
To be this young I'm oh so scared
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, OUT OF HEEELLLLLLLL

Phoenix steps out of the back, walking around the band and jumping back at the sight of Manson. He begins making his way down the ramp in jeans a tshirt and trenchcoat with the TKOW Title over his shoulder.

You never said forever, could ever hurt like thiiiiis
You never said forever, could ever hurt like thiiiiis

Members of the crew guide the pipes around the ring, letting the structure settle on the ground. They begin sliding the gas containers under the ring by the ladders, as crewmen go under the ring and hook the tanks to pipes running up each ladder.

I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell

Phoenix lays the title on the announce table and climbs one side of the structure. He steps out onto the scaffolding and removes his bat from his trench, as well as lighter fluid. Soaking the heavy end of the bat, he puts away the fluid and pulls out his zippo, lighting the bat up as a torch. He holds it high over his head, listening to the cheers, and, getting a signal from the crew below, lights each row of flames one by one. The crowd pops huge each time until all eight are lit.

LONG HARD ROAD, OUT OF HELL
I wanna live, I wanna love
But its a long hard road, out of hell
SELL MY SOUL FOR ANYTHING, ANYTHING BUT YOU
SELL MY SOUL FOR ANYTHING, ANYTHING BUT YOU

Phoenix drops his bat to the floor and slides down the ladder while a crewman extinguishes it as Manson finishes up.

Tito: Hardcore shizzle right there!

Johnny: Wow that was hip. Did you hurt yourself? Hey! Go away!

Phoenix takes a seat next to Johnny and Tito, laying the TKOW title out over the front of the announce table and puts on a pair of headphones.

Phoenix: I need to scout these people Johnny. One of them will be gunning for this belt soon, and I want to make sure I'm ready.

Johnny: Pish posh. I could win this whole thing and put a hurtin on you like you wouldn't believe.

Phoenix: Calm down Superstar, or you'll get your Depends in a bunch. You're too old for this game.

Tito: Let's try to focus here. This is the Prince of Hell match, the first occurance of anything like it ever in the wrestling world. Try to savor the moment.

AMERICA!

A map of the US with the states marked as red and blue from the last election appears on the KhaosTron. The colors start to bleed together and the map becomes completely purple.

We love you!

The map fades to black, then the words "I will Break you!" appear on the Tron. With every beat the word "Break" pulses.

How many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful country of ours?
The stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect.
The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedom of speech the United States government has sworn to uphold.
(Yo I want everybody to listen to the words of this song)
or so we're told...

The Duke walks out onto the ramp.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM CHICAGO ILLINOIS, STANDING 6 AND A HALF FEET AND WEIGHING 250 POUNDS, THE WINNER OF THE FIRST BLOOD INVITATIONAL, DUKE, MCFILLLLTTHHHYYYYY~!

I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see, so many motherfuckin' people who feel like me

As the Duke walks towards the ring, the Tron shows clips of The Duke beating Kid Styles down with a steel chair.

who share the same views and the same exact beliefs
it's like a fuckin' army marchin' in back of me.
So many lives I touch, so much anger aimed in no particular direction
just sprays and sprays and straight through your radio waves it plays and plays
till it stays stuck in your head for days and days

As The Duke continues to walk down the ramp, a clip is shown of The Duke shooting Jace Mingla with a tazer.

who woulda thought
standing in this mirror bleachin' my hair, with some peroxide, reachin for a t-shirt to wear
that I would catapult to the forefront of rap like this?
How could I predict my words would have an impact like this

The Tron shows a clip of The Duke nailing Rotten Treats with a Fifty-One/Fifty.

I must've struck a chord
with somebody up in the office, cuz Congress keeps telling me I ain't causin' nuthin' but problems
and now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government, I'm lovin' it
I shoveled shit all my life and now I'm dumping it on...

As the Duke walks to the ringside area, a clip is shown of The Duke bitchslapping Eric Mitchell.

White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get

The Duke climbs through the ropes and climbs the near turnbukles flipping double birds at the crowd. On the Tron a series of clips are shown of The Duke nailing the Fifty-One/Fifty on Rotten Treats, Kid Styles, Schnitzel, Eric Mitchell, and Megan McFilthy.

Johnny: He's using your schtick birdboy.

White America!
I could be one of your kids
White America!
Little Eric looks just like this
White America!
Erica loves my shit
I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get

As the music fades the clips blur until the screen is purple and white.

*A huge ~BOOM~ deafens the arena. Yellow caution lights flash in concert with the alarms that herald the beginning of "In the Shadows". As the music begins, green and purple spotlights quickly run across the arena as the caution lights fade with the alarms.

As green pyros go off on the edge of the stage, illuminating it, Griffen walks straight towards the ring, all business.*

No sleep
No sleep until I'm done with finding the answer

*On the 'tron a rapid montage of Griffen battling in the Phoenix Pit for the HPWA Brutality Title is shown: Griffen performing three backbreakers then a running powerslam on Bishop,*

Won't stop
Won't stop before I find the cure for this cancer

*Griffen whacking Bishop hard in the head with a fireplace poker to get out of a sleeper hold, Griffen double chokeslamming Bishop into a pile of weapons.*

Sometimes I feel like going down, I'm so disconnected
Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted

*Bishop flipping Griffen into a roaring fire pit, Griffen and Bishop fighting at the top of a ladder then Griffen performing his Dive Bomb on Bishop from the top of it, Griffen moonsaulting from the top of another ladder onto Bishop.*

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time

*Griffen reversing a Samoan drop by Bishop and locking in the Rings on him, making Bishop tap*

I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

*A clip of The Birds of Prey taking out Psycho of the Hellhounds with Talon with Phoenix awarding the Birds the Ring Syndicate Tag Team belts.*

They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I, I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave

*A slow-mo clip of the Birds hitting the Death Strike on Havoc of A Violent Reaction at MBIV.*

Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

Yuri Testkov: COMING TO THE RING, FROM BOWLING GREEN KENTUCKY, STANDING 6 FEET 8 INCHES AND WEIGHING 325 POUNDS, THE WEIRDEST EYES IN THIS FEDERATION, MATT, GRRRRRRIIFFENNNN~!

Johnny: Bet you're rooting for your boy to win. Maybe he'll go easy on you.

Phoenix: You didn't watch Big Business' tag title match did you.

Johnny: There's more entertainment in a WOF match than watching you Section 8 idiots pretending to fight.

A heavy organ blast hits the speakers and, beat by beat, rises into "Phantom of the Opera" as lightning hits the top of the KhaosTron and the screen "explodes", revealing the name "Carpenter" written in dripping blood. Carpenter, free from his normal restraints, stalks onto the stage, dumping his dresscoat. He cracks his neck and pulls the metal facemask on, wiping at the dried blood on his chest.

Tito: It looks like he hasn't bothered to clean his mask since the end on the Invitational.

Phoenix: He's not the type.

Johnny: What happens if he pulls this out Pheeny? I mean, sure you beat him in a Brutality Cage, but he's like you, except deranged. You think you could take him again?

Phoenix: If the world's lucky, we'll never know.

Yuri Testkov: COMING TO THE RING, FROM RED BANK NEW JERSEY, STANDING 6 FEET 2 INCHES AND WEIGHING 210 POUNDS, THE CRAZIEST BASTARD IN THIS ARENA, CARARRRRRPENTERRRRRR~!

Carpenter eyes Duke on one side of the ring and Matt on the other as he passes by the announce table. He stops, turns, and looks right at Phoenix.

"Myself" By Maroon 5 fills the arena, signaling the arrival of Kid Styles. He emerges from behind the curtains, he stops and looks from one side of the arena toward the fans then to the other, grinning as he hears various female fans whistle at him.

Yuri Testkov: COMING TO THE RING, FROM ORLANDO FLORIDA, STANDING 5 AND A HALF FEET AND WEIGHING 149 POUNDS, THE TEENIEST LITTLE THING YOU EVER DID SEE, KID, STYLES~!

He then walks down the aisle, tagging the hands of various fans on the way. He slides under the bottom rope, into the ring, he jumps to his feet then arches his back trying to stretch as he gets ready for his match.

The lights go out. Again.

[Tupac]
What do we have here now, Do you want to fight or die?

It?s dark?Haiiil Maary A ra ra ra ra ra

A silver spotlight shines on the entrance below the KhaosTron, the rest of the arena is dark.

*GONG* *GONG*

The music starts, equipped with the dark trench coat and arms raised The Forsaken appears on the stage and the arms fall back down. Then he slowly proceeds to walk to the ring as the silver light flickers at times but continues shining. He walks down the ramp and looks around with a wolfish grin and nods slowly and the flicker stops, the arena is bathed in silver lights... then they flicker too.

Yuri Testkov: NEXT, FROM PARTS UNKNOWN, STANDING 6 FEET 5 INCHES AND WEIGHING 217 POUNDS, THE FORSAKEN DUDE, SALAZAR, TYRENUS~!

Until he raises his right arm and then they stop. He climbs up the steps and gets into the ring before standing on all four turnbuckles and looking down sinisterly at the crowd.

"Magic Emperor Ghaleon - Mechanical Castle" by 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.

Yuri Testkov: COMING TO THE RING AGAIN, HAILING FROM THE ADVANCED NATION OF BEEN TO THE RING ALREADY TONIGHT, STANDING SLIGHTLY SHORTER THAN BEFORE, WEIGHING SLIGHTLY MORE THAN BEFORE, HE IS STILL HIM~!

On the KhaosTron, 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.

Johnny: I swear, if one more person turns the lights out to enter a match, I'm going to complain to Power about paying the electric company.

Phoenix: I know the dark scares you, but you really need to man up and get a hold of yourself. Use the fire as a nightlight or something.

Tito: All six participants of the match are here, and in the ring, except Carpenter, who's digging around under the ring.

Carpenter, who's legs can be seen protruding from under the ring apron, starts to slowly back up, moving halfway out from under the ring, and sliding a Hardkore Nippon table to the ringside area!

Tito: Doesn't anyone at Hardkore care that we're using their equipment?

Phoenix: T.H. ripped them off for these tables fair and square. Besides, it's just the tables gimmick to be solid and sturdy and not easily breakable.

Johnny: No shooting on TV!

Phoenix: Someone needed to tell Jace Mingla that...

[TKOW Board]

Carpenter rolls onto the apron and under the ropes. He gets comfortable in a corner. Kid looks at the bigger men with an apprehensive yet determined expression. Matt quickly glances at the announce table then focuses on his opponents. Ghalleon coldly stares holes into Griffen. Salazar and Duke eye Carpenter.

Kid runs at Matt and jumps up for a hurricanrana but Griffen tosses him back over his head, assisting him into hitting Ghalleon with it instead. The ref calls for the bell and the countdown starts on the Khaostron.

Time: 30:00

Tito: And the long awaited Prince of Hell match begins with Kid Styles nailing Ghalleon with that assisted hurricanrana.

Salazar whips Duke into Carpenter, who?s ready and takes him down with a belly to back suplex. Griffen pulls Ghalleon up and is met with forearm shots and kicks to his previously injured knee. Matt manages to pull back and whip Ghalleon hard across the ring into the far ropes. Kid moves behind Matt. On the rebound Ghalleon is flapjacked headfirst into the ladder over the top rope, which Kid pulls down.

Johnny: There they go again, Section 8 teaming up on people.

Carpenter locks Duke into a standing Texas cloverleaf. Kid climbs the ropes and does a 360 off the top one onto Ghalleon, driving him back into the ladder. Salazar breaks Carpenter?s submission and they trade blows as Duke gets to his feet. Griffen notices Carpenter and heads for him. Carp escapes momentarily from The Order and meets the larger man with a dropkick, which throws him into the ropes. On his rebound Salazar and McFilthy immediately take the opportunity to double DDT Griffen, following with a double team powerbomb to Carpenter.

Tito: And The Order doesn?t?

Ghalleon throws Kid off, and nails him with a Rebound off the apron onto the floor. They both lay there momentarily then Ghalleon climbs to his feet and rolls back into the ring, followed to the ropes by Kid, who sees Griffen?s situation. He climbs the ropes and leaps over Ghalleon, hitting Salazar with a diving elbow drop.

Duke and Griffen trade a few rights, with Duke low blowing Griffen and taking him down with a DDT and following it up with some stomps. He?s joined by Ghalleon who hits Griffen with a standing shooting star press.

Johnny: Awww.... Lady Hawke will be looking elsewhere for satisfaction.

Salazar double powerbombs Kid.

Tito: Is Carpenter heading up top this early?

Carpenter climbs the nearest ladder up to about 10 or 12 feet and dives off with a flying headbutt to Styles. Salazar makes a run for a ladder and starts climbing. Carpenter gets up and out of the ring and slides his table in and sets it up.

Time: 27:49

Tito: You know that had to hurt. It looks like Salazar is the first to actually go for the points.

Ghalleon spies Salazar and heads for the closest ladder and begins his own ascent. McFilthy goes for a third ladder and starts up it but Carpenter jumps on his back and locks in the beginnings of Death Row.

Kid and Griffen stand and quickly take in the situation. Griffen snatches up Kid and tosses him high into the air toward the closest ladder, Salazar?s, giving Kid a good 12 to 13 foot boost and getting him nearly even with the bigger man. Kid catches the rungs and scales up to Salazar, who steps back down to meet him. Griffen steps to Ghalleon?s ladder and starts climbing.

Ghalleon pauses when he sees Griffen beneath him. Seeing Kid trading blows and kicks through the rungs with Salazar and Carpenter hampering Duke, Ghalleon loosely holds the sides of the ladder, jumps back slightly and slides down, nailing Griffen in the shoulder with both feet as Matt attempts to dodge the blow to his head. Griffen loses his grip and falls into the ropes on his back and flips forward onto the apron, rolling onto the floor. Ghalleon lands on his feet on the apron and jumps down next to Griffen, pulling one of the Hardkore Nippon tables from under the apron and setting it up.

Duke jumps and falls back first onto the floor outside the ring. Meanwhile Salazar has managed to knock Kid to the side of the ladder, where he flails then latches back on. Salazar steps down a few rungs, steps around to Styles? side of the ladder, grabs Kid and jerks him off the ladder on the inside, maneuvering him as he jumps off into the ring and performs The Fall.

Johnny: That should keep the good for nothing brat out of my hair for a while.

Time: 25:15

Griffen struggles to his feet and sees Salazar get to his and make a move for the ladder again. He meets him there and they grapple and struggle along the apron toward the newly set up table. Griffen manages to overpower Salazar and pulls him onto the table. He Bad Habit Drops Salazar into the Nippon table-- which doesn?t break. As Matt turns to check on the progress of the others, Ghalleon nails him with a spinning back kick and Matt staggers back into the barricade. Ghalleon slaps Salazar and yells at him to get up. Salazar rolls off the table and both men take one of Matt?s arms and whip him into one side of the nearest ladder with MASSIVE impact!

Johnny: Bone meet steel.

Ghalleon gets under the ring and comes up with a steel pipe! Salazar holds Matt in place as Ghalleon holds the pipe high, a sinister smile on his face. Kid sees the double team and climbs the ropes, leaps off the top rope and missile dropkicks Salazar facefirst into his side of the ladder!! Matt feels his arms freed, and as Ghalleon swings, Matt ducks, and Ghalleon slams the pipe into the ladder!

Tito: Oh that can?t be good...

There?s a dent in the side of the ladder and two crewmembers run down to ringside as Ghalleon leans in- and the pipe starts spitting fire! Ghalleon jumps back as he sees the flames on top of the structure attached to the ladder die down, and the crew slides under the ring and quickly shut down and disconnect the gas tank.

Johnny: Just inches away from seeing an Advanced Face Fry.

Ghalleon grabs Kid Styles and throws him into the crowd as Salazar and Matt exchange punches. Ghalleon forces Matt to the table and helps Salazar get him up, and the Forsaken hits an inverted DDT into the table.

Tito: These guys aren?t stopping!

Ghalleon helps Salazar pull Griffen up again and then joins him on the table, and team jump DDT him into the table. A loud ~SNAP!~ is heard. The crowd gasps.

Tito: Oh my god! Was that the table or Griffen?s neck?!

Ghalleon and Salazar roll off the sides of the table, shaking they?re heads, and pull up Griffen for another attempt.

Johnny: *fake concern* Oh, it?s such a shame. Poor Griffen. No more fun playing with Lady Hawke. *normal* I?ll have to give her a call and see if she needs a real man.

The table breaks on contact and all three men hit the floor. Kid rouses up and climbs to his feet to see the commotion.

Phoenix: That rules you out, Styles.

Johnny: Like you can.

Phoenix: *chuckling* That?s for us to know and you to-

The crowd pops loudly as Kid lands a perfect Corkscrew moonsault on Salazar. Meanwhile Duke releases the STF he has had on Carpenter since landing. He pulls Carpenter up and hits him with The Fifty-One/Fifty on the table and repeats it, gives up trying to break the table, moves back to the ladder and starts his climb.

Time: 22:59

Ghalleon heads for the nearest ladder. Kid is up next and heads for the next ladder, followed by Salazar. Griffen starts to stir, as does Carpenter. Griffen pushes himself up and turns his head slowly while rubbing his neck, making his way to Ghalleon?s ladder. Carpenter gets to his feet and staggers a bit toward the unused ladder and starts climbing.

Johnny: Now it?s getting to the good parts.

Phoenix: My parts are the best. Just ask-

Kid hotfoots it up his ladder, rapidly gaining on McFilthy. Ghalleon and Salazar gradually close the gaps while Carpenter and Griffen move more slowly. Kid and The Duke reach the scaffolding at the same time and sections of the flames near them abruptly flare to 6 foot heights as they set foot on the mesh and race toward the center.

Time: 22:31

Tito: It looks like Kid and McFilthy will get to work on some unfinished business from their rivalry in SCW.

Johnny: The Duke is my man!

Kid barely gets there first and firmly stands in the center with both feet. Duke spears him off the center and they trade punches and kicks, lying on the mesh. Ghalleon reaches the scaffolding and runs along it, getting into the center. Salazar makes it to the top and heads for the center as Carpenter?s and Griffen?s heads come level with the scaffolding.

Griffen and Carpenter, putting on his brass knuckles, step onto the mesh and make their way toward the center as Ghalleon and ?The Forsaken? grapple, with ?The Advanced Human? laying into Tyrenus with Benoit styles chops. Salazar counters with punches, then backs up a few steps, directs Ghalleon?s attention to the advancing Carpenter, and then runs and leaps from his branch of the scaffold onto Griffen?s, flailing his arms a bit and nearly falling. The crowd roars with a few screams erupting from the audience.

Tito: That Tyrenus has some nerves of steel to do that but he made himself vulnerable to Griffen in the process.

Matt jerks Salazar back and picks him up, spins 180 and nails him with the Toss Bomb on the mesh hard enough to shake the Cross and putting him further away from center. Meanwhile Ghalleon and Carpenter are hard at it with Carpenter attacking with his brass knuckles but Ghalleon hits him with a hard European uppercut, knocking him a few steps back. Duke manages to get his feet under Kid and kicks him off, sending him flying as Griffen takes his turn in the center. Kid is thrown into Matt, causing him to stumble and both go over the edge, several females in the audience screaming.

Tito: Holy Sh-

Phoenix leans forward for a second or two then relaxes back in his seat when neither of Section 8?s members cause a thud. Lady Hawke bursts from the back onto the stage and down the ramp, followed by Aello. They slow and watch as they exit the ramp next to the announce table.

Time: 19:45

Tito: I DON?T BELIEVE IT! Griffen?s hanging with one hand holding the piping and he?s got Kid with his other!

Johnny: *slouching* Too bad they didn?t fall on one of the seven sides still on fire, or with a nice double splat.

Indeed, Kid is tightly holding Griffen?s arm with both his hands and Matt yells something to him. Salazar commences to stomping Matt?s hand as he swings Kid wide in an attempt to get him back on the cross while Duke reaches center and Carpenter uses his head again and headbutts Ghalleon. Carp grabs Ghalleon and hits him with a front suplex onto the mesh.

Kid lets go and Griffen releases him and Kid lands on one of the cross support beams. He hand over hands it to a different beam, and then to a ladder, and quickly climbs back to the cross. Matt reaches after Salazar?s feet, grabbing one and jerking hard. Salazar falls to the mesh on his ass and Griffen takes the opportunity to stick his fingers through the scaffolding and hand-over-hand his way back to the ladder. Salazar follows, trying to beat and stomp his fingers along the way, stopping when Griffen reaches the ladder. He turns and heads back toward center, while Matt pauses to rest a few seconds as he gets his hands and feet firmly on the rungs, then climbs back up to the Cross.

With adrenaline driving him, Kid bulldogs Duke, taking them both right into Carpenter, who has stepped over ?The Advanced Human.? All of them fall into a heap on Ghalleon with various extremities extended through the flames. Salazar takes advantage to get his time in the center, watching carefully as Griffen strides toward him.

Salazar steps over to the others and jerks Kid up by the scruff of his neck and holds him out over free space in front of Matt, who only slows his advancement.

Tito: Oh, now that?s not right!

Kid, getting miffed, reaches up and latches onto Salazar?s arm, turns and twists, and swings his legs and scissor locks them around Salazar?s neck. Griffen reaches them as Salazar is struggling to free himself of Kid?s leg hold, but before he can touch them, Duke spears him and they stumble and tumble onto the adjacent branch.

By this time Ghalleon has recovered, although leaving some of his hair in the mesh, and is attacking Carpenter again. He dropkicks him, pulls Carpenter up and scoop slams him.

Salazar drops to his knees and lowers his arms. Kid releases and maneuvers himself and locks in a cross face chicken wing. Salazar moves, putting Kid over the flames. Kid releases the hold and scoots away, getting to his feet and kicking Salazar in the side of the head and breaking his sunglasses. Salazar, however, digs his fingers into the mesh and holds himself there. Kid kicks him again.

Griffen and Duke get to their feet trading blows. Duke attempts an eye poke but Matt avoids it. Duke goes for Matt?s knees, kicking at them.

Johnny: That?s it, Duke, take out those knees!

Ghalleon turns and moves to the center while the others are occupied, only Carpenter surprises him and shoves him off onto one of the branches. Carpenter attacks Duke, grabbing him up in a reverse face lock, swinging him around a few times, and tossing him into Ghalleon. Carpenter heads back for Griffen who goes for the Claw Crush but Carpenter manages to change his momentum and catch his feet on the pipe supports in the flames and pushes off, pulling Matt off balance and off the scaffolding. Screams deafen the arena and flash bulbs go off as both men tumble around one another in the air toward the Nippon table, which breaks on impact with a sickening ~THUD-CRACK!~ with Griffen on bottom.

Time: 16:22

Aello attempts to restrain Hawke but has a very difficult time of it, slowly being dragged toward the ring.

Tito: Oh my God? Are they dead?! Someone better get the EMT?s to the ring now!

The ref moves to the downed pair laying in the remains of the table and quickly checks them, then turns back to watching the remaining four. Surprisingly Griffen?s foot moves a bit and he shoves Carpenter off him, but doesn?t get up. Carpenter?s laughter can be picked up on the microphones at the announce table.

Johnny: Hell, Phoenix, Carpenter is one sick dude?

Phoenix: You really couldn?t tell that before now?

Lady Hawke calms seeing Griffen?s movements and Aello releases her and pulls her back to the announce table.

Back up on the scaffolding Kid has continued attacking Salazar with kicks. Ghalleon shoves Duke off, gets to his feet and dragon suplexes him. He gets back up and runs at Salazar, catching him by the neck, ripping his fingers free of the mesh and forcing him backward in a kneeling position while drop kicking Kid. Kid stumbles back and falls off the scaffolding at the ladder but manages to grab one of the side bars, swings out, and keeps from falling the 25 feet to the floor below. He gets his feet back on the ladder rungs and climbs back on the Cross.

Tito: Section 8 seems to be getting lots of air time tonight... and not the good kind.

Johnny: Section 8 needs more of it.

Phoenix: You just can?t get over losing to the Birds after all this time, and that your son has joined up with us.

Johnny: It was all Olivia?s fault!

Phoenix: Yeah, yeah, we believe ya, Johnny. It WAS all Olivia?s fault. Olivia Skye Hawke?s, that is.

Kid running clotheslines Ghalleon as he gets up, and moonsaults Salazar, rolling to the center and standing, where Duke snatches him up and power bombs him, making sure to land his head in the flames, where Kid?s hair catches fire. After a second or two Kid gets out of the flames and smothers the burning section with his hands. He slips his feet into Dukes and trips him, causing him to fall backwards crossways on the scaffolding, his torso and head hanging off, and slipping further. McFilthy?s elbow pads smolder. He grabs the scaffolding as Kid lifts his legs up with his own to flip him off the Cross. Duke flips on over, pulling Kid with him, causing more screams from the crowd.

Tito: Not again!

However, both have hold of the mesh to avoid falling. They begin kicking one another, head and arms, each attempting to drop the other to the mat below.

Meanwhile Ghalleon and Salazar have both risen and are going at each other again back and forth across the center, Ghalleon hitting Salazar with chops, forearm shots, and knee kicks. Salazar punches his opponent in return and gets in a high knee, driving Ghalleon back. Ghalleon retaliates with The Ragnarok. Salazar staggers back and falls on the scaffold right over McFilthy and Styles.

Duke lands a hard kick to Kid?s groin. Kid doubles up as Duke hand-over-hands closer to him. Suddenly Kid hits Duke with a double-footed kick in the shoulder, causing him to lose his grip with one hand and he swings, unable to pull up with the other. Kid nails him with another double-footed kick in the other shoulder. More flash bulbs go off as Duke grabs Kid?s legs as he drops. Kid tries to free himself of McFilthy, but the added weight is too much, his hold slips and they both plummet to the mat opposite Griffen and Carpenter, who are finally starting to move and get to their feet.

Time: 14:41

Tito: So, at 14:40 and counting, four of our competitors have fallen from the scaffolding and need to climb back up to earn those points.

Ghalleon stands center on the Cross waiting for Salazar to get back up and challenge him.

Griffen shakes his head as he carefully stands. He limps toward the nearest ladder favoring his left arm. Carpenter stumbles after him only to be caught up in a right-handed stalling chokeslam by Matt. Afterwards Griffen slips between the ropes, takes hold of the ladder and starts climbing slowly, using his arms and stepping up with the same leg each time.

Kid stirs a bit, rubbing his head, and unhurriedly sits. He wiggles his feet and a huge grin crosses his face. He laughs. McFilthy moves an arm.

Phoenix: Well, Styles, looks like your son survived his fall and thought it fun.

Johnny: *sulking* He would.. and he?s not my son! A brat of mine wouldn?t associate with you.

Salazar gets to his feet, rushes Ghalleon into an elevated chokehold with both hands, but for some unknown reason he lets him down, releases him and steps back. Ghalleon draws back for an attack.

Johnny: That idiot! What is he think-

Salazar kicks Ghalleon in the gut and follows with?

Tito: Bliss in the Abyss! He hit Ghalleon with the Bliss in the Abyss on that mesh scaffold! You know that?s going to leave marks on Ghalleon?s head.

Salazar pushes Ghalleon away and into some of the flames, which happen to flare up at that moment, trying to roll him off the scaffolding. However, Ghalleon arouses enough to sink his fingers into the mesh and hold himself on, his legs dangling off and the fire appearing to cut him in half and igniting his shirt. He furiously and painfully screams and fights his way back onto the scaffolding while being stomped and kicked by Salazar.

Once back on, from his downed position, he gets his feet beneath him and tackles Salazar at the knees, knocking him back and down and driving him across the mesh. He rips off his shirt and throws it. It floats down and lands next to Duke who is finally getting up and limping after Kid.

Kid is climbing again, slower than before, yet gaining on Griffen who is on the opposite ladder. Carpenter rolls out of the ring, gets under the apron and pulls out a third table, setting it up outside the ring near Griffen?s ladder.

Tito: You know what Carpenter?s planning can?t be good. He doesn?t have any time in the center yet, and I get the feeling he doesn?t care.

Blood runs in Ghalleon?s hair as he pulls Salazar up and delivers him an Orton style backbreaker on his now abraded and bleeding back. Griffen reaches the Cross again and steps out on it behind Salazar.

Time: 12:03

Ghalleon stares at Matt, and turns to look at Kid, who has arrived again on the scaffolding, then back at Griffen, trying to decide which to go after. Salazar stirs and gets to his feet, seeing Ghalleon and Kid. As he glances around behind him, Griffen lands a hard, stiff right on his jaw, spinning him around.

Ghalleon turns his attention to Kid, who lands a yakuza kick on his jaw. The Section 8 members grab Salazar and Ghalleon...

Tito: You don?t think they?ll-

Phoenix: Anything goes.

Ghalleon and Salazar plunge to the mat below, landing on their backs, the ring shaking from their double impacts.

Tito: Well, now all the participants have been thrown off or fallen from the Cross. It just took some longer than others. You know that landing just added insult to their back injuries.

Duke nears the scaffolding, as does Carpenter, while Kid Styles and Griffen face one another. Matt takes notice that Kid is in the center.

Johnny: They won?t fight amongst themselves.

Matt advances on Kid, but Kid dropkicks Matt?s knee, causing Griffen to fall to one knee. Kid begins wailing on Griffen, but Matt reaches back and thrusts both fists into Kid, one in the gut and one in the chest, knocking him back a few feet.

Kid jumps forward, slamming both feet into Matt?s face and knocking him onto his back. Duke arrives and begins having it out again with Kid, throwing fists at Styles. Griffen regains his feet, rubbing his leg then shaking it out. Carpenter taps Matt on the shoulder, getting the big man to turn, grabs him by the head and slams his head into Matt?s face, staggering him. Matt plows through, pins Carpenter and rips off his blood-stained mask, which drops to the ring below and bounces out onto the floor. He begins pounding Carp?s bandaged face with vicious rights.

Salazar and Ghalleon both stir and slowly get to their feet, leaving blood stains on the mat, and move toward a ladder.

Tito: This match is really wearing our competitors down as seen by the length of time it?s taking them to recover from each move. I?m surprised Carpenter and McFilthy still have enough energy after the First Blood Invitational to be going like they are.

Salazar and Ghalleon both reach ladders and begin ascending.

Time: 9:14

Carpenter knees Matt in the groin and frees himself.

Johnny: *gleefully* Ha! With many more of those there won?t be any little Griffens running around.

Duke STO?s Kid and puts him in Regression Therapy. After about 30 seconds, he releases the Regression Therapy and grabs Kid by his singed hair and slams his face into the mesh walk repeatedly. Carpenter puts Griffen in a standing Texas cloverleaf and pulls back hard, drawing a roar from his victim.

Johnny: *applauding* I really have to hand it to Duke and Carpenter. They know how to hurt people.

Kid gets an arm beneath him and raises up enough to keep from getting slammed into the walk. Duke gets up and drops an elbow on Kid?s back. He pulls the young Styles up into a full nelson but Kid headbutts him hard several times, raises his arms and slips out. He nails Duke with a snap suplex, follows with his own elbow drop, and punches Duke in the face with both hands, blood dripping from the cuts on his face.

Carpenter drops the cloverleaf and starts beating Matt about the head both fists until he sees Ghalleon moving towards the center. He leaves Matt, takes a few steps on the run, and jumps off the fire-pipe, just as the flames jump to six feet, flies across the open gap, and slams into Ghalleon with full force, toppling him through the flames, off the cross, bouncing him off the crossbar, and dropping him back to the mat below! The crowd is completely on their feet, chanting the all-too-famous ?HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!?.

A replay shows on the KhaosTron, showing Carpenter, in slow motion, flying over the open space; the collision with Ghalleon, and the Advanced Human?s fall.

Johnny: I?m so lovin? this!

Tito: With just over six minutes left in this battle, Carpenter has effectively taken Ghalleon out of this match!

Johnny: Luckily for Ghalleon, he has a fourteen second lead on the group. Getting on that center spot has been nearly impossible, but somehow he managed two good stints that has him in charge.

Time: 6:00

Salazar yanks Kid off Duke and heaves him off the cross. Kid barely manages to catch hold of the crossbeam, swings on it like an Olympic gymnast, and lands heavily on the mat. Griffen struggles to his feet, limps heavily to the center, and rubs down his knee while gaining some precious seconds. Duke hits Salazar with The Fifty-One/Fifty and turns to Griffen. Carpenter gets up and immediately sits down on the mesh, apparently not caring about Matt being in the center.

Duke staggers to the center as Salazar attempts to get up. The crowd begins to boo heavily as the crowd on the far side of the ramp is being parted. Salazar forces himself up and shoves Duke towards Griffen. Matt grabs Duke around the waist and hits a sweet belly-to-belly suplex that tosses Duke all the way to the ladder, and through the bars! Duke manages to grab hold of the rungs as he starts to fall, but his hands slip, and he falls al the way to the floor! Salazar takes advantage and gets up on the center.

By this time, the parted crowd has given way to a bandaged and slow moving Soulfly! He gets over the barricade and moves towards a writhing Duke, brandishing D-Matic?s platinum bong!

Johnny: He?s feeling no pain!

Phoenix: After the match we had? It?ll take stronger stuff than that to dull the pain?

Time: 4:59

Tito: I just don?t know what to think about these guys. They?re giving it their all and more just to see who can face the man sitting here next to me. Are they crazy?

Matt gets up and ties up with Salazar, moving him just enough that he stops gaining time. Both men struggle against each other, trying to gain the advantage, but Carpenter rushes them both, shoving them and knocking them off balance onto a walkway, dancing into the flames, and both men fall off! They each grab hold of the sides of the walkway, but before Salazar can gain a better handhold, Matt swings forward on his left arm, twisting, grabs Salazar?s head with his right arm, and falls, pulling Salazar with him into a super stunner!!

Soulfly cracks the bong over Duke?s head, laying him out cold. He drags the last Nippon table over, placing it against the barricade, and painfully pulls Duke?s limp form up and lays him out on the wood.

Tito: Salazar managed to play catch up, and pulled ahead of Ghalleon?s time by just a few seconds! With barely three minutes left, I don?t know if any of the competitors will get another shot at winning, with the exception of Carpenter!

Carpenter, however, has taken note of Duke?s current position, and watches Soulfly leave through the crowd the same way he entered. Carpenter walks down the cross, still with 0 seconds on the clock, and leans over the edge, looking down at Duke. The crowd, knowing full well what Carpenter has in mind, starts chanting ?GO FOR IT! GO FOR IT!?

Johnny: Oh. Wow? Is he really that crazy?

Carpenter grabs the ladder handbars and nods, takes a deep breath, and leaps, twisting backwards, into the legdrop known as Lethal Injection, straight through Duke and the table!!

Phoenix: According to his last psyche evaluation, yes.

Matt is trying to pull himself up via the ropes as Kid emerges, alone, on the cross. He scampers to the center and plants himself, nervously looking around. Matt slides under the bottom rope, grabbing at the ladder. Duke and Carpenter continue to lay in the pile of wood, and Salazar is just barely stirring. Kid watches his time tick up, getting closer to Salazar?s, as Ghalleon starts pulling himself onto the cross!

Time: 1:26

Ghalleon sees Kid?s time coming near Salazar?s, and blindly charges the center. He bowls Kid over, sending the smaller star tumbling, stopping his timer just a second behind the Forsaken?s time. He steps back onto the center and watches his own time increasing again as the match clock goes down under a minute.

Tito: This is it right here folks! Matt can?t seem to make it up the ladder, Salazar is barely starting to move, Duke is out, and Carpenter, well even if he we?re in a condition to go on, he wouldn?t care to. It?s all down to Ghalleon and Kid Styles, the Order vs Section 8!

Time: 0:52

Kid regains his balance and sees the time ticking away, and Ghalleon, wide eyed, watching the clock. Kid forward rolls, hops up out of the roll and lands squarely on the tops of Ghalleon?s boots!

The Advanced Human yells out as his Advanced Toes are crunched, and seeing Kid?s timer now rising with his own! Both competitors pass Salazar?s time, but Ghalleon holds onto a second lead over Kid. Kid reaches up and boxes Ghalleon?s ears, then grabs his head and drops to a sitting position, crushing Ghalleon?s jaw against the top of his head. Kid rolls onto his back and slams both feet into Ghalleon?s guts, shoving him back off the center. He quickly stands, pulling his time up to and just past Ghalleon?s before the leader of the Order strikes back with a Ragnarok, sending Kid flat on his back on the mesh.

Time: 0:39

Tito: Thirty seconds to go, and it looks as if Ghalleon has this all sewn up.

Johnny: I knew that little runt couldn?t do it.

Ghalleon?s expression starts to calm as his time climbs, second by second, extending his lead on Kid Styles. He starts to smile, and raise his arms, and succumbing to the fatigue, drops to his knees with ten seconds left on the clock and a twenty eight second lead on the K.I.D.. Suddenly, Kid Styles rolls his legs back, hops to his feet long enough to dropkick Ghalleon in the face! Ghalleon flips backwards over himself, rolling into the fire, as Kid pulls himself to the center with two seconds left. At one, he?s standing in the center, and then the buzzer sounds!

Johnny: Too little too late loser!

Yuri Testkov: The referee informs me that Kid Styles held the center as the match ended, thereby earning the thirty second endmatch bonus. Your winner, by a time of fifty-six seconds over fifty-three seconds, and NEW number one contender for the TKOW Title, KID, STYYYYYLLLLEEESSSSS~!!!!!

Johnny: WHAT?!?

Tito: He did it! Kid Styles went into this match the full on underdog, and came out on top! He pulled it out!

Ghalleon is lying on the mesh, smoldering. Carpenter, while trying to pull himself over the barricade, was corralled by a few men in white coats. Duke is lying in wood. Matt, leaning on a ladder, has Lady Hawke by his side. Salazar is sitting on the apron, shaking out the cobwebs.

Phoenix takes off his headset and picks up the TKOW Title by one strap.

Kid Styles, holding on to the ladder bars for support, looks down at his stablemates, and watches Phoenix hoist the title up over his head, and they both start to smile.

Tito: A new dawn has emerged in TKOW. For the second time, Section 8 stole the show, following MegaBowl earlier in the year. Phoenix is the TKOW Champion, and Kid Styles is the number one contender. Of course, there?s still the Duke and his nameable match, but for now for 2005, for TKOW, this is Tito Poppi saying, here?s looking forward to 2006.
