[TKOW Board]

Miranda Vera Cruz de la Hoya Cardenal appears on the screen in front of a MegaBowl V banner.

Miranda Vera Cruz de la Hoya Cardenal: This is Miranda Vera Cruz de la Hoya Cardenal reporting backstage at the Tingley Coliseum for this final pre-MegaBowl edition of Mass Khaos. With just a month to go until the big event, almost everyone in the world is at a fever pitch, ready for the most hated pay-per-view of all time. With me at this time is a man that needs no introduction, to give his thoughts on the upcoming event, your TKOW Champion, Phoenix!

The camera pans to show the back of the "FMP" denim vest. It keeps moving back, showing Phoenix facing the back wall.

Phoenix: Isn't there supposed to be a camera here?

Miranda points towards the camera. Phoenix looks back over his shoulder, starts, and turns around. Under the vest is the MBV "Most Hated" shirt and the TKOW "Fiery" Championship, strapped around his waist.

Phoenix: MegaBowl V. The Firestarter Tournament. Steel Cage. Matt Griffen. I've been looking forward to meeting Matt again since HPWA and the Brutality title match. We didn't get to figure out which of us was truly a step above, so I'm hoping that at MegaBowl he'll give me 110%, so that-

The lights in the interview area flicker and dim.

Voice: Later tonight, I may, or may not, see that little choice piece in the ring. I may, or may not, ambush her in the woods with a baseball bat. I may, or may not, have my way with her, abuse her, ruin her. Right now, however, I'm reminding you of something you've tried to forget. I'm reminding you, of a piece of paper that I hold. Of a clue, you were arrested for trying to find. All the records, all the proof, all the information. I have it all. I stole it, hacked it, erased it. There's no way to find out the truth, brother. You have to come find me. And then, oh yes then, the fun can truly begin.

The lights flicker again and return to normal. Phoenix is fuming. As Miranda moves the mic back to him, he stalks away.

The most familiar opening chord's ever, Welcome To the Jungle, start up to signal the new beginning of TKOW's...



The logo fades and and we're launched directly into a montage of TKOW 2005 spots, focusing on wrestlers currently in the federation. Phoenix, Soulfly, Kid Styles, Salazar, Matt Griffen, Ghalleon, Outer Force, Cody, Aello, Carpenter, Bob Lancelot, Pender, Lady Hawke, Cypher, Alyon Mac, and Aaron Mc. Shots of them all fly by, both spot shots as well as promo shots.

{Axel Rose}
Welcome to the Jungle, we got fun-n-games
We got everything you want, honey we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money honey we got your disease
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle watch it bring you to your shuna-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na knees, knees
I, I wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl that's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights but you won't get them for free
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle feel my, my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream

The camera pans around the inside of the ????, showing a sold out crowd at a fever pitch. Fireworks explode off the stage, highlighting the new five-piece KhaosTron.

Tito: After that ominous start to Mass Khaos, here we are, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the last stop on the path to MegaBowl V.

Johnny: What gets me is that all these people keep getting through security. Carpenter's been in and out of arena's since New Era. Eric Mitchell, Alyon Mac, those Golden Boyz, all keep jumping in anytime they want. That Oates guy isn't worth a plugged nickel.

Tito: Hopefully they'll at least be able to keep Soulfly and Ghalleon out of the building. I want to see those two tear each other limb from limb in the Phoenix Pit.

Johnny: Personally I just want them to keep Eric Mitchell at bay. I want to see Bob Lancelot put the big hurt on Cypher alone.

"Overrated (Everything Is)" by Less Than Jake begins to play on the arena's speaker system, sending the crowd wild. The screen shows Aaron in action from various times in his career including matches against TKOW stars past and present, including Soulfly, Extreme Killer Phil and Jason Starr. As soon as the vocals hit, Aaron runs out onto the stage. He stands at the top of the ramp for a few seconds, looking around at the fans, playing to them a little, before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM LIVERPOOL ENGLAND, STANDING SIX FOOT THREE AND WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND ONE POUNDS, AARON, M, CEEEEEEEEE~!

Tito: This should be an interesting match as both Aaron and Pender are coming off losses.

Aaron plays up to the crowd, getting a loud pop and screams from the female fans.

Johnny: And don?t forget, Pender got his ass beat down by the Golden Boyz. We?ll see if he?s recovered.

'Obsession' starts to play over the lound speakers as the Titan Tron shows a dark door thats drapped in deep purple light. It shows Pender standing in front of a small table with his back to the cameras. He looks over his shoulder and smiles slightly as it switches to his work for The Order, his appearance in TKOW and the meeting with Aello.

He then makes his way out from the back with a shinney purple robe on (think Ric Flair like robes). He comes out smiling and his arms out at shoulder height. He then turns around and point to his back which says Pender in black writing across the upper back of the robe. He then turns around and makes his way to the ring.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING, STANDING SIX FOOT THREE, WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE POUNDS, FROM CALLME ISHMAEL, PENNNNNNNDER~!!

He climbs the steps and gets to the ropes, looks in the ring and then to the crowd as they boo him. He then enters the ring and moves around the ring with his arms out. He then takes his robe off and climbs the second rope.

Tito: Pender and Outer Force are getting a mixed reaction here. The fans aren?t sure if they want to get behind the former Order members or not.

Not to be outdone by Aaron, Pender slides out of the ring and approaches several females in the front row, offering them a kiss if they come to the barricade. Outer Force shake their heads at their cousin as a few of the female crowd take him up on his offer. Aaron plays up the crowd on the other side.

Johnny: Although I love seeing the women, Pender needs to get his ass back to the ring and get this thing started!

Tito: It looks like Aaron?s had enough, too!

As Pender releases the last female from a kiss, Aaron lands on him with a running swanton, both falling over the barricade into the audience. As luck would have it, they both fall at the feet of two pretty young women. As they stand, both slowly let their gazes move up the bodies of the girls. Pender leans over and whispers something in the first girl?s ear and she blushes and nods. He kisses her on the lips. The second girl holds out a pen for Aaron to sign her stomach beneath the hem of her mid-riff t-shirt, which he does with a flourish. As he finishes, Pender grabs him and throws him back over the barricade, following and going for a DDT, but Aaron reverses and hits his own tornado DDT on Pender. Aaron moves over to the ring and rolls in, awaiting Pender.

Tito: And Aaron seems to be in charge of the match at the moment.

Johnny: That?s only because Pender was more concerned with the chicks instead of the match.

Pender takes his time, walking back to the steps and onto the apron and through the ropes, smoothing his hair in the process. Wasting no time Aaron goes for a hurricanrana but Pender bends over, slipping out of it and grabs Aaron up and hits him with a backbreaker. Pender keeps on the offensive, pulling Aaron up into a Dragon Sleeper. Aaron fights him but Pender keeps it on. After a bit, Aaron slumps and the ref raises his arm. It drops. The ref raises it again. Again it drops. As the ref goes to lift it a third time, Aaron makes a fist and raises it himself. Pender releases Aaron and steps back.

Johnny: What the hell?! Why?d you let him go you idiot?

Pender explodes into motion with a spinning back kick to Aaron?s back. Aaron is shoved forward, clutching at his back, and drops to his knees. Pender grabs him back up and hits him with two consecutive backbreakers then follows that with a Dragon Suplex.

Tito: Pender?s really dominating now! It looks like Aaron Mc may just give up another loss!

Aaron rolls on the mat as Pender stands and plays to the crowd. Aaron finally gets to his feet and runs toward Pender. The crowd cheers and Pender thinks it?s for him. He turns around and gets hit by a hard chop to his throat as he turns. Pender grabs at his neck, coughing and trying to breathe and Aaron quickly moves to hit another but Pender backs away. Aaron steps forward and goes for a superkick.

Johnny: Now there?s a move! NO!!!

Pender dodges the kick and reaches in and grabs Aaron, nailing him with ANOTHER backbreaker. He pulls him up to his knees and locks in a Dragon Sleeper while kneeing Aaron in the back.

Tito: That?s the Vortex Break! Pender?s going to make Aaron submit for that last attack!

Aaron yells and screams as Pender cranks back in the hold, pushing his knee harder into Aaron?s back. The ref checks on Aaron who screams out ?NO!!? then as Pender tightens it up, screams ?YES!!? Aaron tries and taps the mat. The ref calls for the bell and talks to Testkov as Pender releases Aaron and joins his cousins in his corner.

Yuri Testkov: AND THE WINNER OF THE MATCH BY SUBMISSION?. PPPPPPEEEENNNNDDDDDEEEERRRRRR!!!!

Saphron and Crim congratulate their cousin and they play up to the crowd, Pender moving to each turnbuckle and posing, occasionally rubbing his throat, as Aaron rolls out of the ring and slowly walks backstage.

Tito: Well, that?s a surprise--rookie Pender defeating a TKOW veteran and making him tap in the process.

Johnny: Okay, now let?s get back to the good stuff. *standing* How many of you girls out there would like a kiss from ?The Superstar? Johnny Styles?

The KhaosTron main screen changes to a large room in Ghalleon's Chateau, and "Hoops" Jackson is standing with a mic.

Hoops Jackson: Ladies and Gentlemen, I've been notified that we have a video message from one of the Phoenix Pit contestants, Ghalleon. If you would direct your attention to the Khaos Tron...

There are two, large, red chairs where Ghalleon and Hoops are sitting. Ghalleon has on a black robe with a red trim with a small gold insignia on the right chest. The camera pans out some.

Hoops: So, if I may start off with one question thats on everyone's mind; why did you attack Soulfly?

Ghalleon chuckles slightly and then starts to speak with a slight smirk.

Ghalleon: Are you serious? Didn't you turn me down? But actually, it runs deeper than that.

Hoops: How so?

Ghalleon: As you should know, Soulfly ran this company with the Firm, and they were bought out. Afterwards, what happens? He loses the belt and goes into a downward sprial. I gave him a chance of a lifetime to get back on the top, to beat Phoenix and get that belt back. You see, Soulfly didn't want to lose the belt. Hell, I know this myself now.

The camera pans over to see Ghalleon slightly tapping the FTW World Title. It then pans back to Ghalleon's face.

Ghalleon: But, he kept putting himself in matches against people who were below his caliber and he held the people that deserved it down, like me. How many World Title shots did I get?

Hoops: One that I know of.

Ghalleon: Exactly. Just one, and that was against his half brother. So, what does he do? When his half brother goes astray, he books himself against Dustin Hughes! Now, where is Dustin? Either at home or the hospital with an injured neck. I was willing to put all of his dirty tactics that he pulled behind me and join with him to stop Phoenix, but that wasn't good enough. So he had to let his pride go above and beyond him, and he fell short in the rematch.

Hoops: So, is that the real reason why you don't like Soulfly?

Ghalleon: Don't like him? I feel like this man has had nothing but a damn silver plate delivered to him everytime he's done something! You see this insignia?

He points to the small gold insignia on his right chest.

Ghalleon: It says 'Master Ghalleon.' Why? Because I've proven time and time again that I can stand with these so called 'big boys'. You think that some Phoenix Pit scares me? Should I be terrified because it has Phoenix's name in it? Because it's only been done once before? Trust me, that makes me more eager to want to fight in it. Trust me, this is going to be nothing less of a bloodbath and like when I beat Troy Poole, I will walk out victorious.

[TKOW Board]

A guitar chord begins.

WEEEEEEEEE...

SWWEEEEE... EMOOOOOOO...

SWWEEEEE... EMOOOOOOO...

SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT EMOOOOOOOOOTION...

SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT EMOOOOOOOOOTION...

The "8" logo bounces around the KhaosTron, jumping around the HPWA logo as T.H. Power emerges from the backstage area to "Sweet Emotion".

You talk about things that nobody cares
Youre wearing out things that nobody wears
Youre calling my name but you gotta make clear
I cant say baby where Ill be in a year

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING THE LEADER OF SECTION 8, THE OWNER OF TKOW, HE IS, T., H., POOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEERRRRRRRRRR~!

Power 'Style and Profile" struts down the ramp, his metal briefcase in hand, a smirk across his face. In pure Bret Hart style he takes off his sunglasses and puts them on a kid at ringside before climbing the steps and stepping through the ropes.

T.H. Power retrieves a mic from his jacket inside pocket, setting his briefcase on the top turnbuckle.

T.H. Power: Last Mass Khaos, what seems like well over a month ago, I made two mistakes. Two mistakes that, luckily, I have the power to correct. I have the sense of mind, the courtesy to the fans, and the great pleasure, of looking at two unsanctioned bouts I set up for MY MegaBowl V. I get to look at Eric Mitchell vs Cypher, and The Golden Boyz vs Outer Force, and I get to say...

T.H. takes a long dramatic pause.

Like a 3 week long dramatic pause.

Seriously, you need to be here. This shit is dramatic.

T.H. Power: ...these matches will NOT take place. Not at MegaBowl V, not EVER if I have my say.

The crowd unanimously agrees that T.H. Power is a jackass.

T.H. Power: You want to blame some people? Blame MegaBowl V's Hall of Fame inductees Jason Starr and Extreme Killer Phil. You people put these two stars on a PEDASTAL. You MADE them. They spente years in TKOW perfecting their craft, being YOUR champions. And how do they repay you? HOW?!

Crowd: FUCK THEM BITCHES! FUCK THEM BITCHES!

T.H. Power: That's right! They go to HVW and say they're going to have a final match! They shit all over all of YOU. The people that made them who the fuck they are! They left you when you needed them most, and now that they're back, they go someplace else?? Fuck them I say. And fuck anybody who won't sign a TKOW contract. Only sanctioned TKOW matches from now on. Everybody else can go sit and spin for all I care.

Tito: Strong words from the boss.

Johnny: I never thought Starr was worth a plugged nickel anyway.

T.H. Power: Now that that unpleasentness is over, it's time to Meet Your Maker!!

The crowd roars as T.H. takes the briefcase and heads out of the ring and back up the ramp. Mike Oates is standing on the stage with a steel chair.

"BYOB" by System of a Down blasts throughout the speakers as the arena flashes red and Chris Prince walks onto the stage flexing his large muscles. The crowd boos him as he walks down the aisle with pyros going off on the stage.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM BUFFALO NEW YORK, STANDING SIX FEET FOUR INCHES AND WEIGHING TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE POUNDS, LEEEGENDARY, CHRIS, PRINCE~!

He slides into the ring raises his arms in the air to the fans, then awaits his opponent.

The lights go dim as a strong breeze can be felt over the arena.

As I saw the world in flames
Though the eyes of eternal life
I wish to destroy the life
For every innocent cry
As a sign to die

The pyros explode on both sides of the entranceway as Bryant McCoy emerges, leaping high into the air. He takes a few steps forward and then suddenly stops.

As I see the mistakes of man
I feel my anger
God will make the end of time
You cry forever

A huge tornado forms on the Tron behidn him, eventually forming the name "Bryant" in its eye. Bryant takes off running towards the ring as the guitar picks up.

Yuri Testkov: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM AUGUSTA GEORGIA, STANDING SIX FOOT FIVE AND WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED FORTY FIVE POUNDS, THE CRIMSON CYCLONE, BRYANT, MCCOOOOYYYYYYYYY~!!

I cry - I saw
Eternal, eternal winds
Eternal, eternal winds

Your voice screams like
The rain from sky
The end of time has come
Neither time nor a sign
Can stop this cicle of death

Bryant raises both his hands into the air as he climbs up on the middle rope of each side of the ring, one by one.

An imagine of total devastion
Characterize the world of today

I cry - I saw
Eternal, eternal winds
Eternal, eternal winds

The lights come back up slowly as Bryant shuffles back and forth awaiting the match.

Chris Prince stares down Bryant McCoy. The pair then go with a collar and elbow tie up.

Tito: Prince has been given a second chance in TKOW after failing to impress T.H. Power in his first match here.

Johnny: But let?s not forget that Bryant is also looking to impress Power in this match.

Prince wins out in the tie up and shoves McCoy down to the mat.

Tito: Both men are very physical and are evenly matched as far as weight is concerned, although McCoy has a one inch height advantage over Prince!

McCoy quickly gets to his feet as Prince flexes his muscles proving he is the stronger of the two. McCoy shakes his head and the two men lock arms once more. This time McCoy shoves Prince backwards! Prince quickly gets to his feet and McCoy flexes his muscles at Prince as the crowd pop out of respect for both men?s strength!

Tito: I told you they were evenly matched!!

Johnny: Yeah, yeah... let's get the match moving!

As McCoy is posing, Prince quickly catches him unaware and hits a bursting Belly-To-Belly suplex and rolls over into a bridge to make the cover.

1????

2????

McCoy kicks out!

McCoy looks pissed as Prince grins at him cockily, holding up his hand and pinching his forefinger and thumb close together as if to say ?this close?. McCoy shakes his head in disagreement and quickly spears Prince to the mat, laying him out with powerful rights and lefts to the face!

Tito: McCoy is intense!

McCoy stands up from Prince and then lifts him up and backs him into the corner, slumping him over the turnbuckle so his back is facing McCoy. McCoy then steps back a few paces and charges Prince, but Prince moves out of the way and McCoy?s right shoulder meets the cold steel of the inside of the ring post!!

Johnny: Ouch!

Prince walks forward and places his head in-between McCoy?s legs from behind and lifts him up onto his shoulders! Prince then steps back and electric chair drops McCoy so his head bounces off of the exposed steel pins of the turnbuckle!!

Tito: What! How did that get exposed?

Johnny: I don?t know. We need a replay.

A section of the Khaostron switches to the action replay, showing when Prince was backed into the corner. Prince unties the turnbuckle pad before he dodges McCoy! The Khaostron reverts back to its prior state.

Tito: That cheating scum bag!

Johnny: It?s not cheating! It's using the ring to your advantage!

McCoy steps back from the turnbuckle pad and Prince charges, but McCoy drops to the mat and trips Prince sending him face first into the exposed turnbuckle! McCoy then grabs hold of the dazed Chris Prince?s head and slams it into the turnbuckle four more times! When McCoy releases Prince, his face is covered in blood!

Tito: WOW!!! Now that is intensity!!

Prince stumbles around and then collapses onto the floor as McCoy begins to mount the turnbuckle, climbing to the top rope!

Johnny: It's time for A-Gusta Wind!

McCoy leaps high into the air from the top turnbuckle, performing two full spins before landing on Prince for a body splash!

Tito: McCoy hits A-Gusta Wind perfectly!

McCoy covers Prince and the referee counts.

Yuri Testkov: WINNER OF THE MEET YOUR MAKER MATCH.... ?THE CRIMSON CYCLONE? BBBBRRRRYYYYYYAAAANNNNTTTTT MMMMCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Tito: An impressive victory by McCoy! I'd say he's definitely impressed T.H. Power on the road to Megabowl!

Johnny: Whatever...

Tito: And now I have word that we are going to cut away, as we have Soulfly live via satellite from an undisclosed location in the city and, as always, you can be sure he has plenty to say.

The tron cuts away to the feed, which takes place in a very simple setting. Fly sits dead center in a loveseat, with a Megabowl V T-Shirt on and a Cypress Hill hat atop his head. A tree sits behind him to his right. Also, behind him to his left is a picture on the wall from Megabowl IV, which shows a bloodied Soulfly holding up the TKOW World Heavyweight Championship Belt in the air.

Fly: Ghalleon, everyone wants to hear what I have to say about you. Everyone wants to hear what I have to say about Megabowl 5. Everyone wants to hear what I have to say about the Phoenix Pit. Everyone wants to know who I'm sleeping with tonight. So I figure that now is a good time to speak on it. I'll go from the most important, my sex life, to the least important, being you.

The lucky lady of the evening happens to be someone you know very well, Ghalleon. In fact, It's your own woman, Sammie. And I might have Lisa for seconds....or maybe even the Harrison sisters....or Amy Chastine....or maybe all of them at the same time. But back to what I was saying....Your sex life will never be the same again. I will tear her apart like she's a Catholic school girl. No woman is ever the same after they take a ride on the Fly-Anaconda. And Sammie will be no different. The next time you two have sex, if that happens, you will understand the meaning of "Throwing a hot dog down a hall way"...then again, chances are, it's already like that. I'll just make the hall wider.

And now, onto Megabowl 5 and the Phoenix Pit. There is nothing like competing at Megabowl. This will be my third straight Megabowl appearance, and thanks to you it will be the first one where I'm not competeing for a title. I was also backstage during the second Megabowl and all together I can say that the incredible feeling you get when you walk out to the ring ready to bust open someones head. Then again, you should know that since you are undefeated at Megabowl. However, this year that will change. You will suffer your first Megabowl loss as I extend my winning streak. Despite the fact that I'm not competing for the title this year I will be apart of another milestone... the first ever Phoenix Pit match in TKOW and only the second one, ever. I have to give Power credit. He pulled through and gave me one of the most brutal matches ever concieved to destroy you in, Ghalleon. We're getting closer to Megabowl... and closer to your demise. And I can...

Fly gets cut off as the feed statics out and turns to snow.

Tito: We've...lost him somehow... this seems strange.

Back from commercial, Lunatic Calm's "Leave You Far Behind" plays.

MEGABOWL V PRESHOW
TKOW HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CEREMONY

Including

Extreme Killer Phil
Samhain
Dave Rave
Jason "F'n" Starr
...and more...

Tito: After so long, it's finally time to induct more people into the TKOW Hall of Fame!

Johnny: I'm sure it's a great egostroke, but quite frankly Tito, I don't see the point, the need, or the talent.

The KhaosTron shows T.H. Power and Lady Hawke striding along purposefully backstage. She?s obviously not happy by the way she moves and she writes with exaggerated motions on a large writing pad, afterwards thrusting it in front of Power?s face.

T.H. Power: Why not him?

Skye lowers the pad, and the frame moves and zooms to where it can just make out what she writes as they continue moving.

Writing on Pad: You know damn well why!!!

She holds it up for him to read. He does and pushes it out of his face, looking around at the backstage commotion before looking back at her.

T.H. Power: Well, that should give him extra incentive to do his job better in this case, now shouldn?t it.

They dodge a few workhands and step into a busy hallway intersection and turn to their right.

T.H. Power: Mike checked him out. He?s legit; he?s gained a good rep in the short time he?s been doing it?even made it into a small business that?s quickly growing. He was hired to do a job and that?s what he?s going to do, regardless of your past history with him.

Skye starts whistling rapidly as she writes, but T.H. cuts her off.

T.H. Power: I don?t care. Deal with it, Skye, because he?s going to be around a while. I can?t have Matt or Quinn distracted any more than they already have been, not with MegaBowl around the corner.

Power strides away leaving a fuming Lady Hawke.

The camera shifts back to ringside.

Tito: What exactly is he talking about?

Johnny: Probably Matt and Phoenix's new massage therapist. You know they like those Happy Endings.

Tito: Trying to forget that disgusting subject, up next is the first match in the new TKOW Women?s division!

Johnny: It's not the TKOW division, Tito. It's the HPWA Women's Division, and I can?t wait for it to kick off! Claire Matthews and the Harrison Sisters all rolling around together? It's a dream come true!

Tito: It?s obvious that Kari has the advantage in this match. She has far more wrestling experience than Matthews? ..oh and she has her sister Julia on the outside too.

Claire and Kari circle each other before Claire moves in to sweep Kari?s legs away! Claire jumps on top of Kari and lays into her with clenched rights and lefts before the referee pulls her off. The crowd pop for Claire as Kari gets up and dusts herself off.

Johnny: The crowd normally doesn?t like Claire, but they hate Kari, so now they like Claire!

Tito: I?m confused.

Johnny: We know, but let's watch the girls!

Claire cheekily smiles as Kari mouths the word ?bitch? and then locks up with Claire. Kari hooks around to the back of Claire and twangs her bra straps, Claire leaps forward in pain as the crowd pop once again and Kari laughs at Claire as she rubs her shoulders.

The two women circle each other again and then lock up in a classic collar and elbow tie up. Kari wins the tie up and whips Claire off the ropes and knocks her down on the rebound with a dropkick to the chest. Claire rolls around on the matt clutching her chest as Kari climbs to the top turnbuckle.

Tito: Claire has never experienced pain like this before!

Johnny: Except from Carpenter. Welcome to the world of wrestling Claire!

Claire slowly gets to her feet and Kari leaps off the top turnbuckle with a hurricanrana into a pin.

Claire kicks out!

Kari gets to her feet and brushes her hair behind her ears, then lifts Claire up and plants her in-between her legs. Kari lifts Claire up for a power bomb but Claire slaps Kari and Kari falls backward with Claire landing on top of her, Claire hooks Kari?s legs!

1????

2????

Kari kicks out!

Kari quickly gets up and looks shocked as Claire gets to her feet and then runs at Kari, knocking her down with a clothesline. Kari gets up and Claire knocks her back down, Kari rises once again and Claire knocks her back down once more!

Johnny: I?m impressed with Matthews! She can actually do something without her Weapons of Mass Distraction.

Claire stalks Kari, and as she gets up Claire hits the Swinging Bells!

Tito: That is Bob Lancelot?s finisher!

Claire covers Kari!

Julia pulls the referee out of the ring!

Tito: Claire had that match won!

The referee yells at Julia but she flirts with him as Claire leans over the top rope and yells at the referee.

Johnny: Julia's playing Claire?s game with the referee! Payback. Don't ya just love it?!

The referee reluctantly rolls back into the ring to officiate the match. As Claire walks towards her, Kari quickly rolls her up, grabbing her thong for leverage!

1???

2???

3???

Claire kicks out!

Kari screams in disbelief and lifts Claire up and sets her up for The Red Rose, but Claire flips out of the move and hit another Swinging Bells on Kari and makes the cover! As she does, Julia hops onto the ring apron and distracts the referee by flirting with him.

Tito: Claire gets the three count but the ref is distracted by Julia!

Claire stands up from Kari and walks over to Julia, the two females begin to argue with each other and Julia raises her hand to slap Claire but Claire blocks the shot with her hand and then grabs Julia begins to make out with her!!

Johnny: What!!

Tito: Claire said she wouldn?t change her tactics? sex must be the only way she knows how to win a match!

Johnny: Too right! But I wanted to see the Weapons of Mass Distraction!

Meanwhile Kari sneaks up behind Claire and rolls her up!

1????

2????

3????

Tito: Kari stole the match!!

Johnny: Oh well ? we might still get to see the Weapons of Mass Distraction right now!

Julia is now in the ring and continues to beat down Claire with Kari. They let Claire up, and then nail her with the "Double Whammy" double dropkick! Julia sets Claire up for the Make-up as Kari slides a chair into the ring, right up Claire...

Suddenly, the Khaos-tron lights up, showing a "Ken" doll and a huge-breasted Barbie doll figure.

"Hi Barbie"
"Hi Ken!"
"Do you wanna go for a ride?"
"Sure Ken!"
"Jump In..."

"Barbie Girl" by Aqua kicks in as the huge-breasted Barbie doll becomes a real woman, dancing along to the music.

I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let's go part...

*SCREEEEEECCH!*

The song stops, as does the Barbie doll, frozen in place, trapped in a loop as a crunching guitar kicks in over a haunting vocal set...

"I will break into your thoughts"
"With what's written on my heart"

"I will BREEEEEEAAAAK!!"

*CRASH!*

The screen shatters into a million pieces and reforms into two words.

=K A Y C E E=
=T A N N E R=

The crowd pops as Kaycee Tanner walks out from the back as Flyleaf's "I'm So Sick" blares through the PA. She glares out at the audience, smiling, then rushes down to the ring!

Kaycee slides in the ring and catches Kari harrison coming with a right hand, Julia ducks under a clothesline and the Harrisons double team Kaycee with a double clothesline! The Harrisons stomp down on Kaycee...Kari get's flung by her onto her head by Claire! Kaycee fights back up with Julia and Kaycee and Claire each send the Harrisons out of the ring!

"All My Life" by the Foo Fighters play as The Harrisons back up the ramp, vowing revenge on the two women in the ring.]

Tito: Kaycee Tanner has shocked the world and more specifically, the Harrison Sisters, coming out here and saving Claire Matthews from a nasty beating!

Johnny: Isn't Kaycee abduc-

Tito: Shut up Johnny.

Johnny: No no, I'm saying, didn't The Icon kidn-

Tito: And I'm saying, it didn't happen.

Johnny: Ok ok fine. How about that the Tanner's have sworn off TKOW forever?

Tito: But Kaycee is cool.

Johnny: And she's hot too.

Tito: Something's going on out in parking lot. Let's cut to it and see what's going on.

The main screen of the Khaostron cuts to the parking lot, where we see a very angry Soulfly walking around. He comes up to a production truck and starts shouting at the workers standing outside of it.

Fly: Who the fuck do you bitches think you are? Nobody, and I mean NOBODY cuts me off when I'm talking! Now I'm going to kick someone's fucking teeth down their throat if I don't get some answers!

Guy: It had to take place from inside the truck. We have nothing to do with it.

Fly heads straight to the door, but it opens just before he gets there. Out steps Ghalleon.

Fly: I should've fucken known it was you fucking with my shit!

Ghalleon: I was doing the whole world a favor. No one wants to hear about how many women you've screwed this week, or how much weed your going to smoke tonight. I was shutting you up, just like I'm going to do at Megabowl.

Fly: Bitch, you're going to regret ever crossing my path when I'm done with you.

Ghalleon: You are all talk. You think I'm scared? Look at your brother Dustin Hughes. Look what I did to him. He's still being fed through straws after I got ahold of him, you'll be nothing different, only maybe they wont be able to feed you through anything but an IV as you'll be too deep in a coma to eat at all.[/color]

Fly: Motherfucker, I'm nothing like Dustin. He was the weakest link of our family, were I was the strongest, hardest, roughest, stiffest, coldest, most brutal and sadistic one of the group. What you did to him will be nothing compared to what I do to you. I'll put you in the hospital for months and, when you finally get the cleareance to leave, I'll make you disappear for good.

Ghalleon: If you're so hard and so tough and sadistic and all the other nonsense that just came out of your mouth, then why don't you do it right here, right now. Screw waiting till Megabowl.

Fly draws back a fist, but a hand grabs his arm. Fly is jerked back by the big GM Samhain, and he steps in between the two.

JJB: You two are given the biggest match in TKOW history, and you two still want to slug it out before hand? This is fucken rediculous. I'm not allowing you two to ruin this for everyone. I can't wait to watch you rip each other to pieces.

Ghalleon: Then let him go Jesse. Let's start the Pit now. We'll make it to Vegas to finish it off.

JJB: No. You can wait a few more weeks to the big show. Now I'm going to have you both escorted out of here by the police to ensure that nothing happens between now and then.

Fly: You're only making it worse for him Samhain. The things I'm going to do to him are going to make Charles Manson himself sick to his stomach.

A dozen police officers arrive and they split up--six leading Ghalleon to a squad car, the other six leading Fly to a separate squad car. Jesse James Blackwood confers with one of the officers.

JJB: Send that one back to his hotel room. Send this one over to the precint. He's holding an illegal weapon and illegal substances.

Fly: Jesse you fucken snitch! Your fucken ass is ne-

Fly is silenced as the door is slammed shut in his face.

JJB: *shaking his head* Damn... the things I have to do to help keep this place on top.

A piercing hawk/eagle cry and ?Extraordinary? by Liz Phair plays. Aello walks out on the stage, pausing and waving, followed by a quick sprint down the ramp.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM HIDEONIA, STANDING FIVE FOOT SEVEN AND WEIGHING SOMETHING, A MEMBER OF THE BIRDS OF PREY, REPRESENTING SECTION 8, AAEEEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!

She doesn?t slow near the ring but continues full speed. Upon reaching the apron, she places her hands down, flipping her feet upwards and strongly pushing off with her hands once her feet near the ropes. Her feet, followed by her legs and body, arch over the top rope, reminiscent of pole vaulting, and she lands on her feet just inside. She flips her hair back and moves to where she needs to be.

Tito: After weeks, we'll finally see Carpenter back in action. He's going to take on Aello, one on one, right here, right now!

Johnny: It was nice knowing her. Better seeing her. She'll be missed.

Aello stretches, moving around the ring, watching the stage and the crowd-

T.H. Power?s voice booms out ?SECURITY? over the speakers and Alien Ant Farm?s cover of ?Smooth Criminal? hits as Mike Oates leads out the TKOW security force.

Tito: What is this now?

Johnny: They have a couple of those Happy Thoughts orderlies with them, and the electric chair!

Aello throws out her hands and starts jawing at Mike. Mike jaws right back.

Tito: Apparantly T.H. Power has ordered that Carpenter be caught at any cost, including this match!

Johnny: DAMN YOU POWERPUFF!! I want to see blood!

Raining Blood hits, the drums pounding lightly in the backdrop of the sound of a thunderstorm for a half minute, and then lightning hits the top of the KhaosTron and the screen "explodes" as the guitars jam, revealing the name "Carpenter" written in dripping blood.

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~!

Security has taken up positions all around the ring, to the side of the ramp, and around the stage entrance, watching for Carpenter.

Voice: Huhahahuahauhahaha... Do you think me stupid? Foolish? Did you truly think that I wouldn't be prepared for this eventuality??

The lights go out, leaving the arena in darkness.

Johnny: NO NOT THE DARK ARENA! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!

A soft red glow fades onto the ring. Aello is facing the ramp, at the ready, but Carpenter is standing behind her with a baseball bat! As he raises it, the crowd screams, and Aello perks up. Suddenly the lights go out again!

Tito: Power's rich, he could at least pay the damned electric bill!

A *SMACK* and a *THUD* is heard from the ring! Soon after that, loud stomping can be heard, along with Aello yelling at, apparantly, her fallen foe! Then the lights come back up-

Tito: How the-

Johnny: -heck did he get in there?

Aello stops with a jolt as she sees what everyone else sees...

Phoenix!

Aello stays frozen on her knees, shaking slightly as Phoenix rolls out of the ring, bat in hand, stunned. He shakes his head at her and suddenly jumps the barricade and leaves through the crowd. Aello cries out after him, but he's already disappeared into the sea of people.

Tito: Was I seeing things? Carpenter was in there!!

Johnny: I saw it too, but dammit that was better!

Aello slides out of the ring and jumps the barricade, trying to follow Phoenix, as Mike Oates checks under the ring for Carpenter.



**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

The cameras shift to the backstage area where the beautiful Aello is walking down the hallway. She turns to the left and pauses, placing her hands on her hips, and looks down the hallway. The camera pans, showing Pender in his black and purple wrestling pants. He folds his arms and smiles slightly at Aello.

Pender: It?s been a while, dear. How've you been?

Aello: Dear? *shakes her head and snorts* What do you want Pender?

He moves closer--within a yard of her. She drops her hands from her hips, curling them loosely into fists, and lets them hang by her sides.

Pender: Now, my dear, is that any way to treat me, especially after I?ve been so concerned and asked about your welfare?

She crosses her arms over her chest and shifts her weight to one leg.

Aello: First off, I?m not YOUR dear and what difference should it make to me that you want to know how I?ve been? You?re not anything to me except a slight annoyance.

Pender: Oh, don't be that way, Aello. It?s not nice to tease your 'prey'. You of all people should know this. I mean, what do you see in that baboon, Phoenix? Seriously, I've got good looks, skill, and I can beat him any day of the week, including weekends. What can he do for you? Say that he's the champion, that?s all.

In the shadows behind Aello a dark silhouette slips into view, as a slight knowing grin crosses her lips.

Aello: Beat him? any day of the week? including weekends?

She snickers.

Aello: You think you're a better person than he is?

Pender: Who says I'm thinking? I know I am.

A short bout of laughter escapes her.

Aello: You have no idea what Phoenix does for me and you think you can top him?

Pender: *slightly aggravated and stepping closer* I can provide you with anything your heart desires. I promise you that, Aello.

The smile disappears from her face and her arms drop to her sides.

Aello: No, you can?t, Pender, because I already have everything my heart desires.

As she turns to leave, Pender reaches out and takes her arm. In the shadows the dark silhouette moves closer, revealing the figure of a crouching man. Aello looks at the hand on her arm, then looks up at Pender.

Pender: Just remember, if you need any help or anyone to talk to, I'm willing to listen. Just remember that.

Aello: Why? So you can set me up for that payback you promised for that practically now invisible scar I gave you? No thanks. Section 8 are the people who listen to me when I need to talk. They?ve been there for me in the past and will be in the future. Go play with your cousins, Pender. Goodness knows they can use all the help they can get right now.

Pender?s lips draw into a straight line but he slowly forces a smile and slides his hand down to hers, pulling it up to his face and kissing the back of her gloved hand. He releases her and steps back. She eyes him, shakes her head and turns, suddenly throwing up her hand in a wave and quickly walking back up the hall as the dark silhouette slips back into the darker shadows.

Aello: LH! There you are! I?ve been looking for you.

Pender watches her leave, an enigmatic expression on his face.

Pender: *quietly* You reject me now, but you?ll be accepting my company soon enough, my dear Aello.

He turns and walks the opposite direction down the hall, and as the camera pans back it catches a man?s shadow turning the corner in the direction which Aello took.

The crowd goes nuts as the first piano keys of "Diamonds and Guns" by The Transplants can be heard. The lights fade to near black.

Woohoo Woohoo

Cypher comes out of the arena wearing his usual wrestling attire of a leather jacket, white gym tank top, black sunglasses, black cowboy hat and blue jeans. The crowd cheers loudly as he walks down to the ring in a relaxed pace.

Bombs goin off in Sierra Leone
Taken more shots than Karl Malone
Battle looms, your doom, injustice entombed
Who got the diamonds? Who gonna find them?
Who gonna mine them when the time comes?
Diamonds and Guns, Diamonds and Guns

Cypher looks at the ring and pauses for a second taking in the cheers from the crowd.

it's a wicked world that we live in it's cruel
and unforgiving
it's a wicked world that we live in it's cruel
and unforgiving

Yuri Testkov: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA, STANDING SIX FEET ONE INCH AND WEIGHING TWO HUNDRED AND ELEVEN POUNDS, CYYYYYPHERRRRRR~!

Cypher backs away a few steps and runs toward the ring and baseball slides his way to the ring, doing a 180 while he's on the mat.

woohoo woohoo

Cypher stands up.

Knock, knock, knock, who's that? It's Momma, son
Lookin' for the bitch who took the money and run
Now the daylight's gone and there's no more fun
And who's the fuckin' bitch who stole all the heroin?

Cypher takes his way to the middle turnbuckle and poses for the crowd with two fingers out on each side and pose shaped like a cross with his arms straight out..

Heroin, heroin, it's all gone
Smoked it all up, and now you got none
And now you look around and that's not the plan
This is not what you had in mind

Cypher runs to the other turnbuckle and climbs to the middle turnbuckle with the same pose.

I shot in heaven, now I cry
No one lives forever, in fact we all die
From those who bust shots to those who stuff cops
To those who serve rocks on all the hard blocks

Cypher goes to the top turnbuckle and does a backflip to the middle of the ring.

Every last soul must pay the last toll
In the dice game of life, who gets the last roll?
Is it the one with the suit? The one with the sack?
The one who hides behind his fuckin' gun and his badge?
Negative outlook? Well that's how I'm livin'
And like he said, it's a wicked world we live in

Cypher eyes his opponent and stares him down as he does some warm-up on his legs.

It's a wicked world we live in

woohoo

woohoo

I'm wiggin out, flippin' out, hearts is what I'm rippin' out
I'm slippin' out, I'm dippin' out, killin's what I'm livin' out...

The song fades in the background as the lights fade back to normal.

Cypher stands in the ring awaiting Bob Lancelot. The lights in the arena dim and then "Hardcore" by Feel plays over the speaker system and Bob Lancelot walks out from behind the curtain. He is wearing the Television Championship belt over his shoulder, although he has wrapped barbed wire and yellow police ?Do Not Cross? tape around the belt.

Johnny: What the hell did he do to the TV title? It's a TV TITLE, not a Hardcore title. Idiot...

Lancelot stands on top of the ramp and begins to speak into a microphone.

Lancelot: Cypher, I warned you not to show up. I warned you what would happen. Security, get out here now!

Tito: Lancelot?s ?Doctor? diagnosed Cypher as mentally ill, and Lancelot told Cypher he would be escorted to the mental institution if he showed up for the match tonight!

Five security guards appear from behind the curtain pushing a stretcher with reinforced straps on it.

Johnny: This is bullshit! Cypher isn't mentally ill! Lancelot has no authority to order Security anywhere, so they have to be fakes, goons hired by Lancelot! Someone get the real TKOW SECURITY out here to stop this crap so we can get the match going!

Cypher shakes his head in disbelief as the 'security guards' walk down the ramp with the stretcher. Three of the 'guards' roll into the ring, but Cypher begins to beat on them, kicking them brutally as they roll under the bottom rope. The 'guards' get to their feet and Cypher knocks each one down in turn with powerful clotheslines!

Tito: Cypher is demolishing Lancelot's guards!

The other two guards roll into the ring, but Cypher knocks them down with clotheslines as well. Cypher celebrates as the guards roll around on the mat and motions a belt around his waist to Lancelot. Bob responds by summoning three more 'guards' from the back!

Tito: What! More?!

The new 'guards' run down to the ring and slide under the bottom rope, but Cypher tosses each one out over the top rope as they enter!

Johnny: Cypher is making light work of them. Lancelot's afraid to fight Cypher "The Ice Soldier" because he knows he can't win unless he has someone do the work for him.

Meanwhile, one of the first 'guards' sneeks up behind Cypher and hits a low-blow on him. Cypher falls to the mat in agony as the other 'guards' jump him and begin to beat on him before strapping him onto the stretcher.

Tito: This is ridiculous.

Johnny: I told you. Lancelot's the "Hardcore Chicken."

Lancelot: Shut up Styles or "The Hardcore Superstar" will show you what hardcore is.

He turns his attention back to Cypher.

Lancelot: I warned you ?Ice Man??.. Now get him out of here!

Johnny stands up at the announce table.

Johnny: Any time, "Hardcore Chicken." I'll show you what a real Superstar is and a lesson in being hardcore!

The guards begin to wheel Cypher up the ramp, but Eric Mitchell jumps the railings from in the crowd with a steel chair, he takes the chair and smacks each guard right across the head with the chair, knocking them all out cold.

Johnny: It?s that WOF bastard Eric Mitchell again!!

Tito: He uses every opportunity he gets to beat on Cypher!

Mitchell pushes the stretcher down the ramp and it rolls into the side of the ring and topples over. Eric then slams the chair across the stretcher and Cypher?s body three times before TKOW security hits the scene and Mitchell again hops the barrier and runs through the arena to get away!

Johnny: *sitting back down* I?m looking forward to Cypher beating Mitchell?s ass at their unsanctioned Street Fight at Megabowl!

Lancelot looks at Cypher and shrugs his shoulders as he begins to walk down to the ring.

Tito: Lancelot?s original plan backfired, but what happened instead also benefits this opportunistic bastard.

Lancelot spits on Cypher as he lays helpless in the wreckage of the stretcher and then begins to unbuckle him. Lancelot lifts Cypher up and rolls him into the ring. Cypher slowly crawls towards the ropes and tries to pull himself up as the referee rings the bell to start the match up.

Tito: This is pathetic. Cypher never gets a chance.

Lancelot rips the shirt off of Cyphers back and wipes his ass with it before tossing it into the crowd who boo him heavily.

Johnny: Lancelot is a jerk. I'm sure Blackwood or Power will have some fun at his expense later for all this.

Bob drags the dazed Cypher across the ring like an animal being abused by its owner and then Lancelot wraps his arm around Cypher?s neck and outstretches his arms. Lancelot cockily parades Cypher to the crowd as they chant ?Asshole? and then plants him down hard with The Swinging Bells. Lancelot makes the cover.

1????

2????

3-

Cypher kicks out!!!

Tito: What!! Nobody has ever kicked out of The Swinging Bells!

Lancelot?s face turns white as he turns his attention to the referee, yelling to him that it was a three count. The referee disagrees and yells back at Lancelot that it was a two. Lancelot gets pissed and shoves the referee, who in turn shoves him back, so Lancelot snaps and hits the ref with The Swinging Bells!!

Tito: Lancelot is being a complete jackass.

Lancelot turns around but Cypher is not inside the ring anymore.

Tito: Where is Cypher?

Johnny: Lancelot wasn't paying attention and now he's gonna get it.

Lancelot shrugs his shoulders and leaves the ring. He walks to the timekeeper?s table to retrieve his belt, but it is not there. Bob looks around and then begins to aggressively question the time keeper as to the location of his belt. The time keeper says he doesn't know, so Lancelot slaps him and then turns around but is met by a stiff shot to the face from Cypher using the belt!

Johnny: Cypher must?ve been hiding oh yeah, and that belt has barbed wire wrapped around it!!

Lancelot falls backwards from the shot as Cypher drops the belt on the ground and begins to work on Lancelot with kicks to the back and midsection whilst he is grounded. Cypher then picks Lancelot up and rolls him under the bottom rope.

Tito: Cypher choosing to take this match back into the ring, which is a wise decision since Lancelot is the 'Hardcore Superstar.'

Johnny looks at Tito and rolls his eyes.

Johnny: *mumbling* Hardcore superstar my ass...

Cypher drops an elbow on Lancelot and then makes the cover.

Johnny: The referee is still down from that Swinging Bells Bob gave him!

Cypher confused as he looks around, but notices the referee is still out cold so continues to work on Bob. Cypher picks up Lancelot and whips him into the corner and then runs towards him, Monkey Flipping him back into the centre of the ring. Lancelot clutches his back as Cypher quickly mounts the top rope and leaps off with a corkscrew moonsault landing square on Bob Lancelot!

Tito: Holy crap!

Cypher clutches his stomach from the move and then hooks Bob?s leg, the referee takes some time to drag himself over and then slowly makes the count?..

1?????????????????

2???????????????

3-

Lancelot kicks out!

Tito: The referee is clearly still feeling the effect from that Swinging Bells. That should have been a three count!

Cypher shakes his head at the poor officiating but doesn?t let it affect him as he gets back to his feet and drags Bob up from the mat. Cypher picks Bob up and edges towards the ropes then drops Lancelot?s legs on top of the ropes.

Johnny: Absolute Zero!

Cypher catches Bob to finish the move but Lancelot somehow reverses into a bulldog!

Tito: Great reversal by Lancelot! I think the champ is back in the match!

Johnny: Hardcore Chicken was never in it to begin with?

Lancelot drags himself over to Cypher and covers him.

1???

2??????

3-

Cypher kicks out!

Lancelot moves off Cypher and runs off the ropes, hitting a low baseball slide drop kick on Cypher, knocking him under the bottom rope and onto the floor.

Tito: Lancelot is taking this match back to the outside!

Lancelot slams Cypher?s head into the ring barrier and then side-walk slams him onto the floor, Bob then goes underneath the ring and pulls out a trashcan.

Tito: What's The Hardcore Chicken doing? He hasn?t got Claire out here. He'll be disqualified!

Johnny: Maybe that's his plan. The title can?t change hands via DQ unless JJB or Power decide otherwise.

Lancelot places the trash can on top of Cypher?s stomach as the referee yells at Bob from inside the ring, but Bob ignores him and makes his way to the top rope.

Tito: The Hardcore Shootingstar!

Lancelot leaps off the top rope with a Shooting Star Press onto the trash can and Cypher and the referee calls for the bell with a disqualification!

Yuri Testkov: WINNER OF THE MATCH BY DISQUALIFICATION... CCCYYYYPPPHHHEEEERRRRR!!!! BBBBBUUUUUUUTTTTT SSSSTTTIIIIILLLL TKOW CHAMPION.... BBBBOOOOBBBBB LLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAANNNCCCCEEEEEELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

Johnny: That sneaky bastard retained his title!

Lancelot walks around to the time keeper?s table and grabs his belt and leaves the arena to a bout of jeers from the crowd as the referee checks on Cypher.

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

The lights go out...

[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: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM PARTS UNKNOWN, STANDING 6 FEET 5 INCHES AND WEIGHING 217 POUNDS, THE FORSAKEN ONE, 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.

Johnny: Well? whatta ya know. He actually came out to his entrance this time!

The opening chords of 'Black and White' cue off as Tobias steps on to the stage, there's no playing to the crowd, instead he just starts his way down the ramp avoiding and ignoring any fans reaching over for a high five or attempting to verbally harass him.

Yuri Testkov: MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING, WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED FORTY FIVE POUNDS, FROM LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA, TOBIAS BUUUUURRRRDEEEEEENNN!!!

He hops up on the apron and turns to face back to the ramp momentarily as though paranoid that someone will be there, then he steps in between the ropes and retreats to his corner, waiting for the starting bell to begin.

Tito: I don?t see how these two will pull off a win since they hate each other so much. Tyrenus is already in Burden?s face and mouthing off.

Johnny: Burden won?t back down from him either. Let?s see if they can at least wait until the other two get out here. I bet you five dollars they won?t last until the bell.

Tito: I?ll take that bet.

Johnny: Oh, really? That?ll be easy money for me.

Tito: *pulling out a five* Show me the money! I always wanted to say that!

Johnny: Oh, I?ll show it and I?ll take yours, too!

Out of nowhere, lightning crashes into the KhaosTron, causing the screen to spark and smoke. The screen lights up with an aerial shot of a decimated city covered in a light fog. Strange music hits the speakers as the camera flies down and through the streets.

The angle moves from side to side as certain buildings flash silhouettes of familiar grapplers. Within seconds the angle speeds towards the HPWA arena, shrouded in darkness. A silhouette of an '8' slams into the side of the building and light rains down, filtering away the darkness. The rest of the scene fades out as only the following is left...



The music finally continues on becoming 'Meaning of Life' by Disturbed. T.H. Power comes out of the curtains in his sunglasses, briefcase, and sporting the MBV "Royalty" buttondown, open over a black shirt with a purple '8' on it, and carrying the "Fiery" title over his shoulder. Phoenix walks out right behind him, in full gear, mask, Rosary, and "FMP" vest. Matt is in gear as well, wearing a MBV "Most Hated" shirt.

The three men make their way down to the ring, watching Burden and Salazar.

The Forsaken and the Heartless bump chest to chest, shoving at one another, as Phoenix and Griffen stand in their corner and watch while conversing.

Tito: Phoenix and Griffen seem to be having a friendly discussion on who gets to fight first, totally unlike what?s going on with their opponents.

The ref, getting tired of waiting for the teams to choose, calls for the bell and immediately afterwards Salazar shoves Tobias to the center of the ring and steps out onto the apron, shrugging off his coat.

Tito: Ha! You lose, Styles! I win the bet.

Johnny: *glaring* Just a lucky coincidence. If the ref had more patience they?d be at it already.

The ref gestures to Phoenix and Griffen to choose. Burden stands in the ring, glaring back and forth at The Forsaken and Section 8. After a moment or two, Burden decides to take matters into his own hands and rushes Phoenix and Griffen. Griffen grabs Phoenix and whips him toward Burden. Phoenix uses his momentum and clotheslines Burden hard. He stumbles to a stop just before he reaches the far ropes and just outside The Forsaken?s reach. Griffen steps over the ropes to the apron and yells for his stablemate to have some fun and is flown the bird in response. Tyrenus reaches for Phoenix and starts to come through the ropes while Phoenix taunts him to come in after him. The ref moves and shoves The Forsaken back between the ropes before he can get in. Phoenix grins, steps back, turns, and locks up with Burden, who has regained his feet.

Tito: Burden?s put on some muscle and weight since last year. Phoenix is only about twenty pounds heavier than him.

Burden kitchen sinks Phoenix and goes for an arm drag, only Phoenix twists, turns, and powers out, whipping Burden into his own corner. Burden runs out of the corner along the ropes (sped along by another shove from Tyrenus out of the corner), jumps and springboards off the first rope with a yakuza kick, dropping Phoenix to his knees and a hand.

Tito: If The Forsaken doesn?t stop shoving Burden around, Burden?s going to turn on him, and fast! It?ll be just how Phoenix and Matt were saying earlier this week.

Burden immediately pulls Phoenix upright and goes for a rear naked choke while the ref is distracted by The Forsaken, who mouths off at Phoenix and Burden both and tries to get in the ring. The ref moves to block Tyrenus, arguing with him.

Phoenix fights Tobias with elbows to the ribs and pulling on one of Burden?s arms to weaken the hold. He manages to draw one foot beneath him and tries to stand, almost getting up, but drops back to one knee and then to one hand as Burden tightens the hold. A ?PHOE-NIX!? chant starts and soon reverberates throughout the arena. Griffen leans on the ropes watching carefully, ready to enter at the first hint of need, while The Forsaken finally stops trying to come in and turns and rants at a few people in the first row. The Heartless mouths off as well, but keeps his hold on Phoenix.

Tito: The fans are trying to rouse their Champ, and Burden and Tyrenus don?t care for it one bit!

Johnny: Idiots. They need a REAL champ like Burden, or even better?. ME!

The Forsaken jumps off the apron and threatens a few people in the front row who are chanting. Burden pulls Phoenix upright and tightens the hold again as the ref moves to check on Phoenix, who is slumping. The ref lifts his arm once and it falls! He lifts it again and it falls! The ref lifts it once more and Phoenix suddenly uses both to jab Burden in the ribs hard and gets his other foot under and springs up, running backward into the corner and slamming Tobias? back against the turnbuckle several times until he lets go. Phoenix turns and grabs Burden, steps back and X DDTs him. The crowd pops.

Tito: The Champ is making a come back and the crowd is loving it!

Phoenix pulls Burden up again for a stalling piledriver and looks to the crowd. They roar in approval and he nails the jumping stalling piledriver on Tobias. Phoenix cracks his neck as he walks to the Section 8 corner and tags in Matt. Burden slowly regains his feet, backing up to his own corner. Salazar jumps back up on the apron and Burden moves to tag out, but The Forsaken refuses. This results in another short trash talking session which ends when Griffen moves to the center of the ring and taunts the two with a ?come and get me? gesture and a few words that can?t quite be made out. While Salazar is distracted by the taunting, Burden tags him in and dives through the ropes and rolls to the floor, landing on his feet. He motions for The Forsaken to get in and fight.

Tito: Smart move by Burden. He makes Salazar fight and takes a breather.

Johnny: Tyrenus is not wanting to get in at the moment. He?s pissed at Burden!

Salazar walks along the apron glaring at Burden, who merely smiles and stays a few steps out of reach. The ref starts a ten count.

One?

Two?

Three?

Griffen follows Salazar on the inside.

Four?

Five?

Six?

Griffen runs to the ropes and nails Salazar with a hard right and yells at Tyrenus.

Matt: You have the match at MegaBowl to kill Burden. Right now I?m your opponent. Are you afraid to get in the ring and fight me because you won?t get to your dark Eden if you get your ass handed to you by me AGAIN?!

Eight?

Nin-

Salazar suddenly jumps up onto the top rope and springs off with a missile dropkick which Matt attempts to dodge. Salazar quickly converts it to a calf kick in mid air, catching Matt in the side and back of his neck and forcing him over. Salazar twists and lands on his hands and drops his feet to the floor and leaps up, catching Griffen with a swinging neckbreaker. The crowd boos as Salazar stands and mouths off to Phoenix while he kicks and stomps at the downed Griffen. Burden hops back up onto the apron and laughs as Griffen reaches up and grabs The Forsaken?s legs and yanks them out from under him, dropping him flat on his backside.

Tito: The Forsaken thought he had control of the situation. He should have kept his attention on Griffen!

Johnny: I have to say this--thank goodness Griffen shut him up. All that rambling about Eden was getting annoying.

Griffen gets to his feet, shaking out the cobwebs. Tyrenus scrambles to his feet as well and attacks with normal punches and Griffen responds in kind. Salazar dives in and goes for a belly-to-belly suplex, but Matt prevents it by picking his opponent up into a bear hug submission followed by a spinebuster. The crowd pops. The Forsaken stares at Griffen then climbs to his feet and backs up to his corner and leaps back, catching Burden by surprise, and tags out. Burden fusses at The Forsaken but Tyrenus says nothing and points to Griffen, who grins and pops his knuckles and motions for Tobias to enter the ring as he exits through the ropes. Burden rolls over the top rope while throwing a glare at Tyrenus. Matt motions for a test of strength and Burden moves toward him and obliges. Neither gains the advantage for about 15 to 20 seconds.

Tito: Griffen and The Heartless seem to be fairly even in-

Matt grins and slowly overpowers Burden, releasing him, and motions that he?s now ready to fight him. Burden narrows his eyes, glancing at Phoenix then back to Griffen, and attacks, alternating four knife-edge chops with two European uppercuts, driving Griffen back a few paces. Burden backs up and?

Tito: Burden going for another yakuza kick, but Griffen?s leaning back to- I don?t believe it!

Johnny: Yep, believe it! The kick was a feint and Burden grabbed Griffen in an armbar drag and into the hold on the mat! And to the arm and shoulder Salazar worked over at the last Mass Khaos!

Meanwhile, Tyrenus has jumped off the apron and walks along ringside, staring holes into Phoenix. The Champ yells to Griffen.

Phoenix: Havin? fun yet?!

Griffen flies the bird at Phoenix before he pulls his free arm beneath him and pushes up, lifting both himself and Burden off the mat and twisting toward Burden, loosening the armbar and throwing himself over onto his back and jerking his arm free.

Tito: Salazar is going after Phoenix on the outside!

Salazar takes advantage of the slight distraction and dives toward Phoenix from the floor over the corner of the apron to clip his legs out, but Phoenix grabs the turnbuckle post, leaps and jumps over the ropes into the ring, jumps right back over the other side of the corner behind Salazar and swings around and flies feet first into him, driving him into the floor and dropping next to him. Salazar scrambles to his feet where they exchange a few blows before Phoenix hits him with the P-X Stunner.

The Khaostron lights up with a scene backstage, the frame jerking as the camera is on the move. It shows that Aello has finally run into Carpenter, as Carpenter spears Aello into and through a wooden door into a room.

Tito: Carpenter?s after Aello again backstage![/color]

Johnny: Oooooh?. Just wait until Phoenix notices. This should be interesting. Is he going to leave Matt to deal with Tyrenus and Burden or will he and Matt run off to save her?

In the ring Burden and Griffen get to their feet, Matt a little slower as he notices the Khaostron. He yells to Phoenix, who looks.

On the Khaostron the camera moves to follow Aello and Carpenter, revealing they?re in a storage room. Carp gets to his feet and steps away, laughing at what he sees. Aello quickly rolls to her hands and knees, grabs the first thing she can lay her hands on, which is a set of long-handled chain/fence cutter, jumps up and runs, bashing the cutter into Carpenter?s back.

Phoenix is pulled to his feet, and fights The Forsaken who?s trying for a swinging neckbreaker. Phoenix roars, fights free, lands a hard right on Tyrenus and nails him with Rising Flames! The crowd cheers!

In-ring Burden yakuza kicks Matt and grabs him up into the Fireman?s Crusher. He goes for the pin.

One?

Two-

Griffen kicks out!

Taking advantage of Phoenix watching the Khaostron, Salazar hits Phoenix with the Derailer and pulls him up and into a belly-to-belly suplex. The ref tries to watch both pair of men, which allows Burden an opportunity to lowblow Griffen while he?s still down. Burden pulls Griffen up into a double-underhook suplex and goes for the pin again but the ref is looking at Phoenix and The Forsaken! Burden yells for the ref, who immediately turns and starts counting.

One!

Two!

Th-

Griffen gets a shoulder up!

Johnny: Burden should have had that pin! The ref isn?t doing his job!

Tito: I don?t know who to watch! Is someone helping Aello?! Anyone?!

Johnny: Aello looks like she?s handling it herself, at least better than she did in the match.

Tito: Maybe she?s pissed off?

On the Khaostron, from the shelving Aello drove him into with her weapon, Carpenter grabs a piece of PVC pipe and swings around with it. She ducks and rams the fence cutter into his gut. He doubles over, swinging the PVC pipe back over, and breaks it over her head and starts jabbing her with the broken end.

On the floor, Phoenix pulls The Forsaken up and they trade blows, gradually making their way toward the announcer?s table but veer onto the ramp. Salazar hits Phoenix with a tornado DDT then pulls him up, kicks him in the gut and pulls him up in the pumphandle fashion.

Tito: Tyrenus is going for Bliss in the Abyss on the ramp!

Salazar walks a few more feet up the ramp and Phoenix starts to struggle. The Forsaken leaps off the ramp and nails Bliss in the Abyss on the floor next to the announce table!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

In the ring, Griffen is back on his feet and downs Tobias with a strong lariat, following that by pulling him to his feet and hitting Burden with multiple backbreakers. Matt goes for a pin.

One?

Two?

Thre-

Burden kicks out!

On the floor Salazar pulls Phoenix up and shoves him onto the announce table. Tito scoots his chair back. Salazar hops back up on the ramp, walks up it until he?s even with the table and leaps off, hitting Phoenix with Hypnosight! The crowd boos him heavily as he casually walks away from Phoenix and heads back to his corner.

Johnny: Salazar is an idiot! He has Phoenix at his mercy and walks away!

Burden and Griffen are back to their feet. They move to grapple up and Burden slips behind Griffen and drop toe holds him and hits him with a few closed fists while the ref isn?t paying attention and locks in a camel clutch. He cranks back with it. The crowd starts a ?GRIF-FEN!? chant, nearly as loudly as their earlier Phoenix one.

On the Khaostron Aello and Carpenter are still fighting. Carpenter has found some thick chain link and has wrapped part of it over his hand and is whipping Aello with it. She grabs it on one whip, letting it wrap her arm, and heaves with all her might, falling to the floor in the process as Carpenter comes toward her. As he steps near her feet, she kicks her legs up and using her hands, push/throws her body upwards, catches him about the neck with a downed hurricanrana, throwing him headfirst into a pile of bricks and concrete blocks. She struggles to her feet and steps toward him, dropping hard on his back with her knees and casting the chain around his throat and pulling back.

Johnny: Well, well, well.. it?s about damn time you got your lazy ass off my table!

Phoenix rouses and rolls off the announce table onto the floor, staggering around the tiniest bit and his eyes catch the Khaostron, seeing her choking his brother. He looks in the ring and sees Burden on Griffen and heads for the apron, but slows when he sees Matt backing out of the camel clutch and instead watches the ?tron.

Carpenter rolls over, throwing Aello off, but she holds onto the chain, trying to tighten her grip to continue the choke. The camera zooms in as Carpenter grabs a concrete block up over his head to smash down on Aello and begins a strangled laugh which is suddenly cut short when he can?t throw the block down. The camera shows a pair of red taped hands and wrists grasping the block as well. They jerk it out of Carp?s hands and throw it to the side.

Johnny: What the hell?!

Male Voice: I don?t think so, Carpenter. Stop now and leave the lady alone.

Carpenter: Stay out of it! She wanted to fight me and I?m going to finish her!

The hands shove Carp?s head back into the blocks.

Male Voice: Aello, get up and get out. I?ll finish this.

Aello: But-

Male Voice: I said MOVE! Skye, get her out of here!

As the camera pans back, it reveals a man with long, dark brown hair who is similar in size to Carpenter, dressed casually in black jeans, matching boots, and a deep blood red dress shirt. He?s struggling to hold Carp down. The man roughly shoves Aello with his foot and Hawke enters the frame, quickly unwrapping the chain and dragging her out of sight.

Male Voice: Get the camera out of here!

The man jumps off Carp and heads toward the camera, revealing he?s wearing a half mask--upper face, red, decorated with primitive designs in gold. He shoves the camera back out the door and then turns and stands in the doorway, picking up the cutters Aello had used earlier.

Male Voice: Don?t worry Carpenter, the Happy Thoughts Aides should be here any second but I?ll keep you company until then.

Tito: It looks like Aello has a protector other than Phoenix or the guy just wants a piece of Carpenter!

Phoenix turns his attention back to the ring as the Khaostron cuts the backstage scene and continues showing the action from the arena. Burden breaks the Camel's Clutch and roughly kicks Matt in the back of the head as he fumes. The ref checks on Matt as Tobias stands looking down on the Bird, his face displaying his annoyance, not noticing the steel chair that was slid into the ring behind him.

Salazar gets into the ring and pats Tobias on the shoulder. Tobias turns quickly and nearly nails him. Salazar holds his hands up in mock worry, then smiles and pats him on the shoulder again. Tobias frowns and turns back towards Matt. Salazar grabs him by the shoulder, spins him around, lifts him and hits The Voluntary Despair onto the chair!!

Tito: SALAZAR JUST CRUSHED HIS OWN PARTNER!!

Johnny: That's right I knew it would happen! That's my Dark Eden, uhm, guy... Uh...

Salazar looks across the ring at Section 8 and backs out through the ropes. Phoenix jumps into the ring, passing Matt, who is trying to shake off the ref. Salazar jumps off the apron and smiles while looking over his handiwork. Phoenix gets to the corner, kicking the chair out of the ring and jawing at Salazar, but The Forsaken One simply walks around the ring and to the rampway.

Throwing his hands up in defeat, Phoenix turns and looks down on the writhing form of Tobias Burden. Matt pulls himself up, cracking his neck, and, confused, also watches Burden's breakdance of pain. He looks at Phoenix, who shrugs, and then looks out to the crowd, pointing at Burden.

Crowd: PUT HIM OUT!! PUT HIM OUT!! PUT HIM OUT!!

Phoenix drags Tobias closer to the center of the ring as Matt scales to the second rope, backwards. Phoenix grabs the top ropes in the next corner over, closer to Tobias' head, and leaps up onto the top rope, twisting himself to face back into the ring.

Tito: Tobias is already hurt, but Section 8 is making sure that this deal is done!

Johnny: Matt looks really weird on the ropes like that.

Phoenix signs the cross, thrusts out his arms, and falls headfirst as Matt jumps off the ropes, twisting his body. Matt smashes into Burden with a big elbow drop at the same time that Phoenix connects with a falling headbutt!

Phoenix rolls to the side, one hand to his forehead, as Matt leans back and hooks one of Tobias' legs...


One...


Two...


Three!!


'Meaning of Life' kicks on again and T.H. Power runs up the steps and into the ring, handing Phoenix his title belt and raising the arms of both men.

Yuri Testkov: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, PHOENIX AND MATT GRIFFEN, SECTION, 8!!!

Tito: Matt takes a step towards Phoenix, and Phoenix responds with a step of his own, and both men are face to face, smirk to smirk!

Johnny: These two guys get to beat the crap out of each other within a steel cage in just a few weeks time!

Voice: Huhahahuahauhahaha! The hour is approaching Phoenix! Soon, when I reveal to you just the tiniest inkling of what I know, you will fall to my feet, bow to me, sing my praises, walk my path! Soon Phoenix! As soon as, MegaBowl perhaps?

T.H. Power moves to the rampside ropes as the mysterious masked man comes out onto the ramp with Aello and Lady Hawke. Matt turns, looking around, as the lights flicker and dim.

Voice: I'll even, just to be proper, take on your wench in a Street Fight. That way no one will know where I might strike. Just like they don't know now...

The lights fail, again, and flashbulbs pop as the crowd attempts to get a glimpse of what may be happening.

The eerie red glow again appears, showing T.H. Power on the outside of the ring, Matt facing the crowd, and Phoenix scanning the arena, and Carpenter in between the two! Phoenix starts, rears back with the belt-

Voice: HUHAHAHAHAHEHEHAHAHEHEAHHAA!!

The lights fall once more as the laughter permeates the arena, and a *THUMP* is heard from the ring. The lights come back up to show Phoenix standing over Matt Griffen, who is holding his head, apparantly the victim of a belt shot to the face!

The Birds run down to the ring, causing T.H. to turn, see what happened, and slide back in as well. Phoenix seems to wake up at that moment and steps back to the ropes, then backflips over them to the floor. As Lady Hawke and T.H. check on Matt, Aello and the man come to the ropes. Phoenix shakes his head and hops the barricade for the second time that night.

Voice: I told you once, Phoenix, that I'd have my revenge. Now, it begins. Now the master, becomes the servant...
