*Earlier today.*

Voice 1: Where the f*BLEEP* is he?

Voice 2: He’ll be here soon. And when he is…

The scene opens up to the parking lot of the Kentucky Exposition Center, where a very un-happy two-thirds of Team 7, Brandon Young and Adrian Tanner Jr, stand watch in front of the staff entrance.

Brandon Young: …We’ll f*BLEEP*in bash his brains in. Who does this little f*BLEEP* think he f*BLEEP*in is?

Brandon paces back and forth with a metal baseball bat in had, Adrian sits on the hood of his 2007 Cobalt blue Mustang GT.

Adrian Tanner: He’s Bob Lancelot.

And he’s f*BLEEP*in dead.

Brandon: A-f*BLEEP*in-Men.

Voice 3: Aren’t you two being a little over dramatic?

Melody Abrams walks into the shot, looking a little more calm than she was last time we saw her.

Brandon: F*BLEEP* no.

Adrian: Not in the least.

Brandon: You wanted to kill his punk ass too, Mel.

Melody: I did…still do. But I wanna see Kaycee do it in the ring, where it’ll hurt him the most.

Adrian: We’re not saying he won’t make it to the ring.

Brandon: Just might be a little f*BLEEP*in worse for wear, is all.

Melody: ‘Sigh,’ You two’re hopeless. You know that?

Adrian: She’s my SISTER, Melody!

Adrian stops, realizing who he just screamed at….Melody glares in shock at Adrian.

Melody: I…

Adrian: Melody…

She glares at him, looking like she’s about to cry, but she rushes off the other way towards the door she came out of moments earlier.

Brandon: Ouch.

Adrian: Damn it…

Brandon: All the more reason for us to kill Lancelot’s f*BLEEP*head ass, bro.

Adrian: True enough.

As they continue to wait for Bob, three police cars drive up, followed by a black Porsche. A dozen police officers file out of the police cars, while Andrew Thompson, the lawyer from the previous Team 7 promos, steps out of the Porsche.

Adrian: Oh. Joy.

Adrian jumps off the hood of his car as the police officers and the lawyer approach.

Andrew Thompson: Mr. Tanner, Mr. Young…

Brandon: Piss off, lawyer-boy. We aint leavin.

Thompson: Gentlemen, please. Let me do what I was paid to do. You have to let me do my job! I can’t do that with you two out he…

Adrian: Bryant called you, not me. You don’t work for me, and I don’t ‘have’ to do anything. Now get lost. ‘Please.’

Thompson: Gentlemen, please be reasonable. Would you rather spend the night in jail, or would you rather be there for your sister later on tonight? I don’t want to do it, but I WILL have you arrested if you refuse to listen to my judgment here.

Neither man backs down as the officers come closer. Brandon even tempts a fake swing with the bat, but stops short.

Thompson: Mr. Tanner, think of your sister’s well being, please...I’m sure she needs you right now more than eve…

Adrian: You SHUT THE F*BLEEP* UP ABOUT MY SISTER, douchebag! You don’t know a f*BLEEP*ing thing about her!

Thompson: I realize that, but, please…Gentlemen…

Adrian sighs, and grabs Brandon by the arm.

Adrian: C’mon man…Let’s go inside.

Brandon: F*BLEEP* that! We haven’t done our job yet.

Adrian glares at Thompson, then looks at the officers and finally, at Brandon again.He grabs Brandon’s arm again.

Adrian: Brandon, put the bat down.

Brandon glares at his best friend, Adrian motions towards the cops…

Brandon: …

Fine.

Brandon drops the bat, and the two head inside the staff entrance, as the officers and Thompson follow behind them.

The logo fades and and we're launched directly into a montage of TKOW 05-06 spots, focusing on wrestlers currently in the federation. Phoenix, Tobias Burden, Bob Lancelot, Matt Griffen, Aello, Carpenter, Lady Hawke, Jace Mingla, Dan "Cypher" Kilburn, Adrian Tanner, Jr. and Johnathon Doberman. Shots of them all fly by, both spot shots as well as promo shots.

*Matt pushes off with his good leg and starts to fall, twisting as he goes. Cameras continue to click as both men fall twenty feet. In the air, Matt continues to turn, and HITS A SUPER DIVE BOMB FROM NEAR THE TOP OF THE CAGE!! Both men hit with an amazing amount of force, bouncing them off the mat, Griffen going up nearly a foot, and THE CORNER OF THE RING COLLAPSES UNDER THEM!!*

*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. 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. *

The camera pans around the inside of the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky showing a sold out crowd at a fever pitch. Red, white, and blue fireworks explode off the stage, highlighting the five-piece KhaosTron as patriotic streamers and confetti fall to the floor while a patriotic tune inundates the arena.

Yuri Testkov: WELCOME TO MASS KHAOS~!

The crowd whistles, screams and waves all manner of signs for their favorite wrestlers and/or stables as the different cameras pan through the arena.

Tito Poppi: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Kentucky Exposition Center! We have quite a lineup for you tonight. Once again we will have guest announcers trying out for a permanent seat here next to me! We'll have an announcement about New Era and the upcoming Invitational! Last, but not least, we have the matches. Top on the list tonight is TV Champion Bob Lancelot defending his title against "Katastrophic" Kaycee Tanner, sister to Adrian Tanner, Jr. and girlfriend of Brandon Young. You saw what went on earlier today. One has to wonder if Lancelot will make it to the ring intact for his defense. Next is The Church of Pain and Suffering against the Birds of Prey with Matt Griffen. There's another hot match up with everyone wondering if all hell will break loose in that one, too! Then there's the three-way between "Iceheart" Jace Mingla, "Android" Johnathan Doberman and Communist John! That should be a doozy, especially with Mingla obviously going to want to set Doberman straight on a few things. Last, but not least, first up tonight will be Dan "Cypher" Kilburn versus the Boss, T.H. Power, in a 15 minute time limit match!

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

Tito: Here comes the Boss now!

Power 'Style and Profile' struts down the ramp in his simple barbwire print workout pants and "Don't Cross the Boss" t-shirt, 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 after taking Yuri's mic. He steps through the ropes and plays up to the crowd.

T.H. Power: How many of you are here tonight to see me make Cypher more patriotic? Red with anger, white from fright, and blue from all the bruises I'm going to lay on him?!!

There's a mixed response from the crowd.

T.H. Power: Okay, then how many are here to see me get my fat ass handed to me?

There's a roar of applause from the audience. Power shakes his head.

T.H. Power: Some fans I have... however, before we get started, there are some announcements that need to be made. Some of it, well... first off, I know how all of you have been looking forward to seeing that brutality cage TKOW Title match between Phoenix and Matt Griffen-

The roar of the crowd nearly deafens the arena and Power has to wait before he can continue.

T.H. Power: -at New Era. Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait a bit longer to see that match.

The arena breaks out in boos and hisses, badmouthing Power.

T.H. Power: Hey! Now hold on! It seems there was a mix up at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. They double booked us with some kid's show. Even with all my apparent sexy charm-

Jeers erupt from the crowd.

T.H. Power: and my backup plan of sending in LH to change their minds didn't work. So... sorry folks. Instead of New Era happening on July 29th, it has been pushed back a week until August 5th!

The crowd settles a bit.

T.H. Power: Don't worry! All purchased advanced tickets WILL be honored. To make it up the wait to you, we're going to have another Mass Khaos before New Era. Since calling an entire show by himself is too much to put on Tito, I've decided to give him a bit of relief from that with the trial announcer contest that will be continued tonight. On the next Mass Khaos, we will have a call back of those who have made the cut. Between the July 22, 2007 Mass Khaos and New Era TKOW will be having an online vote for those finalists and, as planned, the winner and new TKOW announcer will be announced at the beginning of New Era!

The crowd cheers and begins shouting out the last Mass Khaos' try outs names of Melvyn, Rufus, Neil Nerderson, "Hoops" Jackson.


T.H. Power: New Era has to be even more fun, more exciting.... so you're going to see a lot of me!

The crowd boos him again.

T.H. Power: Okay, okay, I was only joking! Actually, I was talking about the New Era Invitational. Holiday Hell's "Got Wood?" Gauntlet was a success, with it coming down to Adrian Tanner, Jr.-

Crowed erupts in huge cheers, drowning out Power and again he has to wait.

T.H. Power: and Nick Collyer. Well, I decided this invitational has to be even tougher, longer, more than just one fall for the win.

The crowd cheers, but there is some murmuring going on.

Tito: More than one fall? This sounds like it could be good. What do you think- Wait... where's my co-announcer for the upcoming match?

T.H. Power: New Era's invitational will be of nearly epic proportions!

Tito: Epic proportions?

T.H. Power: That's what I said, Tito! Epic proportions! The "Six-Shooter" Ironman Invitational!

Tito: A 6-PACK IRONMAN!

The crowd starts cheering again.

T.H. Power: That's right! I said more than one fall and I meant it. The participants are going to have to work for the prize of $100,000... plus bonuses!

The crowd roars.

T.H. Power: The rules for The "Six-Shooter" Ironman Invitational will be announced this next Mass Khaos right before New Era.

A shit-eating grin crosses the Boss' face.

T.H. Power: Some other big news... TKOW has managed to steal some unappreciated promising talent from another company. Earlier today, three new wrestlers were contracted to the TKOW roster--Veronica Rodriquez, Jay Williams, and The Sensational Eric Herrera!

The crowd gives a mixed response, but mainly cheers.

T.H. Power: Now that the announcements are out of the way... where's that small-time loser Cypher? I'm ready to kick that upstart's butt!

Power hands the mic back to Yuri and warms up in the ring.

Tito: Well, while we're waiting for Cypher and my co-announcer for this match to arrive, we'll get the commercial out of the way so you won't miss a thing!

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Tito: Welcome back! The match is about to start… and without the guest trial announcer. Well, we can’t wait, so let’s get right to it. Yuri is signaling he’s about to introduce the Boss.

Yuri Testkov: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS FOR ONE FALL OR A 15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT. IN THE RING, HAILING FROM NEWARK NEW JERSEY, STANDING SIX FOOT FOUR AND WEIGHING THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN POUNDS, HE IS THE LEADER OF SECTION 8, HE IS THE OWNER OF TKOW, HE IS, T., H., POOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEERRRRRRRRRR~!

Power once again plays up to the crowd, but keeps an eye open for Kilburn all the same as he flirts with a few girls in the front row.

"Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top starts playing on the Khaostron. Red pyros shoot up in the air, followed by blue pyros, as Dan Kilburn comes out of the curtains wearing a leather jacket, cowboy hat, blue jeans, and a white tank top. Shion Hikari and a gorgeous redheaded female trail behind him.

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'cos every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Dan takes the women’s arms and the three walk down the rest of the ramp together. As they approach the ring, Dan picks up Shion and boosts her up to the edge of the ring and then assists the redhead. Dan then goes up the steps as the two female hold up the top and middle ropes for him to go through. Shion joins him as the redhead uses the steps to get back down and heads for the announce table.

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
Cufflinks, stick pin,
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.

As Dan gets to the top turnbuckle, he poses for the crowd.

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

He climbs back down during the instrumental. He removes and hands to Shion his sunglasses, hat, ring, watch, jacket and long shirt.

Dressed smartly in a dark blue suit composed of a short straight above knee skirt and matching jacket and a plain white blouse with matching blue heels and an American flag lapel pin, the redhead reaches the announce table, smiles at Tito and takes a seat as she puts on the headset, while Power keeps an eye on her.

Tito: Haven’t I seen you somewhere be-

Yuri Testkov: AND HIS OPPONENT… HAILING FROM LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA… STANDING 6 FEET 1 INCH TALL AND WEIGHING IN AT 216 POUNDS… DAN “CYPHER” KIIIIILLLLLLBUUUUUUURRRRRNNNNNNN!!!

Power signals for a mic again as Kilburn eyes him from his corner.

Redhead: *waving to the crowd* Hiya there sugahs! Y’all need to calm down and focus on the ring instead of little ol’ me.

Tito: Wait… you’re that redhead who was at Holiday Hell and attacked Lady Hawke!

Redhead: I think sayin’ attack is exaggeratin’ honey. Oh, look, T.H. Power is wantin’ to say somethin’ to Dan.

T.H. Power: How about we make this more interesting, shall we? How about in addition to the 15 minute time limit, which I WILL last by the way, we make this a no disqualification match as well? Does that sound good to you?

A smile grows from ear to ear on Kilburn and he nods his head.

Kilburn: *faintly* That’s fine with me, Power. Let’s get this going… NOW!

Power blindly tosses the mic at Yuri as Kilburn drives Power back into the ropes with a spear! The bell rings!

[15:00]

Redhead: Whoooooo! There goes my, Dan!

T.H. grabs Cypher up in a bearhug and gives him a good shaking as he comes back off the ropes.

Tito: T.H. isn’t going to let Cypher off that easily as he releases him and immediately lifts him up in a two-handed choke and lands a Baldo Bomb! Let’s see your Dan come back from that…uh… what IS your name and are you really the guest commentator for this match?

At Shion’s warning, Kilburn quickly rolls out of the way as Power tries to nail him with a Bonsai bomb after the Baldo Bomb and Power hits nothing but canvas.

Redhead: I think he already did and the name’s Synamonn, sugah. S Y N A M O N N. Powah knows who I am and all. See?

Synamonn holds out her backstage pass to Tito.

Tito: It does say guest announcer. Okay, let’s see how you do! *under his breath* As long as she’s not like that bitch, Vega.

Synamonn: I beg your pardon?

Tito: Nothing! Looks like the two have gone for a collar and tie lockup!

Power and Kilburn dance around the center of the ring until Power shoves Kilburn back, grabbing his arm and whipping him into the ropes. As Kilburn rebounds back, T.H. goes for a Savat kick, but Kilburn dodges it and moves past Power, kicking out the back of his knee of his other leg and dropping him hard to the mat!

Synamonn: Way to go Dan! Take out his legs and you’ve got him, sugah!

Kilburn tries an elbow drop, but Power catches his arm in his hands to counter and rolls over, jerking Cypher hard to the mat next to him. Power rolls over to his knees then feet and pulls Kilburn up into a fireman’s carry. Kilburn struggles, but it’s not enough as Power falls back with him.

Tito: Oh yeah! The Boss did a Samoan Drop on Kilburn! That’ll show him!

Power goes for the cover.

1…

2…

Kickout!

Synamonn: He oughta know better to think he’d keep my Dan down with just that.

Tito: Well, Cypher had better not underestimate T.H. or he’ll end up the loser in this match!

Power gets to his feet as Dan uses the opportunity to roll outside.

[12:31]

Synamonn: Sugah, what’s the matter? You hate Dan or do you just loooooooooooooooooove Powah?

Tito: Are you implying something? I’m not Quadir, you know. Besides, “your” Dan is under the apron and that can’t be any good.

The ref starts the ten count.

Synamonn: Well, it WAS Powah’s idea to make it a no disqualification, now wasn’t it? Why are you complaining if Dan decides to go that route? Powah’s a big boy who asked for it.

1…

Cypher emerges with a heavy chain, which he wraps around his hand and wrist and a bent folding metal chair and crowbar.

Synamonn: Oh… nice… All sorts of fun can be had with those.

2…

He places them on the apron and then moves to roll in, only Power stomps at him, keeping him outside.

Tito: I guess you and Dan have a lot of “fun” together then?

3…

Synamonn: Who said anything about me and Dan? That’s the wrong fella, sugah. Powah’s trying to keep my Dan out for a count out. That would be too easy a win!

4…

Tito: A win’s a win!

Kilburn studies T.H. as he circles the ring and tries to roll in again, but he’s blocked. He moves around to his own corner where Shion says something to him.

5…

Synamonn: You weren’t saying that a few seconds ago about Dan, now were you. C’mon Shion, do somethin’ for Dan, would yah?

6…

T.H. moves over to the chair and picks it up, kicking the crowbar to the floor, allowing Cypher the chance to slide back in the ring. He advances on Power and goes for a spinning back fist with the chained hand only for it to ~CLANG~ on the beat up chair. He grabs his hand in pain and slightly bends over as T.H. turns and nails him with a chair shot.

Synamonn: Damn, it, Dan. Ya forgot the ‘tron, honey!

Tito: Serves him right for a sneak attack!

Synamonn: All’s fair in love and war, sugah.

Power hits Cypher with a second chair shot, knocking him to the floor. He drops the chair to the mat and pulls him up into a double underhook DDT on to the metal!

Tito: That’s got to be over! No way Cypher can recover from that!

[08:47]

Power uses his feet to push Kilburn on over to his back as he plays up the crowd, getting a mixed reaction as he goes into the motions for a Bionic Elbow, including the rolling his hands and doing the crotch grab/pump before the elbow. He goes for the pin after.

1…

2…

3-

No! Kickout!

Synamonn: Yes way! Whooooooo! Go Dan! Show Powah what ya got, boy!

Tito looks as annoyed as Power as the ref makes him allow Cypher space to get up. Dan shakes off the cobwebs as he rubs his crown with his unchained hand, but grins and motions to Power to come at him. T.H. obliges and Cypher hip tosses him. As Power turns back around, Kilburn goes for a high kick to Power’s head!

Synamonn: The Freezer!

The Boss attempts to duck it, but he’s just not quite quick enough and Cypher catches him at the top of his head with the kick.

Tito: Looks like a mini-fridge to-

Cypher quickly continues on around with his momentum and lands a spinning backfist with the chained hand to the side of T.H.’s face as well. Taking advantage of the moment, Kilburn pulls Power up into a fireman’s carry and falls back with his own Samoan Drop onto the chair to a mixed reaction from the crowd!

Synamonn: Ya were saying, sugah?

Tito: Nothing…

Synamonn: I thought so. C’mon Dan, honey, get it done. I’ve got something to do in a bit, ya know…

[06:22]

Kilburn pulls a slightly stunned Power to his feet and backhands him again in the face, following that with a belly-to-belly suplex. He goes for the pin!

1…

2…

Power gets a foot on the rope!

Synamonn: Damn it!

Tito: Go Boss! Show him who’s… uh… BOSS!!

The ref makes Cypher back up and Power uses the ropes to pull himself up, wiping his face and smearing a bit of blood from the small number of cuts from the chain. His eyes narrow. Kilburn approaches and Power sidesteps and takes him down with a Front Russian leg sweep. T.H. stands him up and then positions him for a powerbomb. Kilburn tries to free himself by punching Power in the head, but falls to the powerbomb anyway. T.H. lifts him up and hits the double. He goes for the pin!

1…

2…

Kickout!

[04:30]

The two men get to their feet. They advance on one another and Power attempts to whip Kilburn into a corner, but Kilburn reverses and sends Power crashing into the turnbuckle. Dan rushes the corner with another spear, only T.H. steps out of the way and Dan’s shoulder hits the post between the ropes!

Synamonn: Ouch…That’s gonna hurt.

Tito: Nah… you think?

Power jerks Cypher out of the corner pulls him up into a Spinebuster to a mixed reaction to the crowd. He throws him back into the corner and then does a corner butt thump. He steps out of the corner a bit then runs and hits a corner splash!

Tito: The Pink Slip!

Power pulls Kilburn out and DDTs him for good measure. He leaves him laying and climbs to the second buckle facing out. He bounces a few times and then leaps up into the ring, still holding the ropes, and splashes Kilburn. He stays on for the pin!

1…

2…

3…

No, Cypher gets a foot on the ropes!

Kilburn uses the ropes to stand. He suddenly hops up on the rope and springboards off with a flying lariat! Both go down to the mat. Cypher gets to his feet first. He waits for T.H. to rise and when he does, he downs him with a hurricanrana! He pulls himself up yet again and waits on Power to stand then hits him with another spinning backfist with his chained hand, stunning him and then lands a German suplex. Cypher tiredly moves to the turnbuckle, climbing it and unwrapping the chain, dropping it to the apron. He holds his arms out straight to his sides. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Tito: The Boss has gone more than 12 minutes with Kilburn. At this rate he’ll make it to the 15 minute mark!

Synamonn: Don’t think so, sugah. That’s the Crucifix Moonsault that Dan’s about to do. When he lands it, it will be all over.

Kilburn leaps off and NAILS the moonsault and the ref drops for the pin as a figure rushes to the ring through the audience!

1…

2…

3…

No! The pin is broken!

Tito: SAVED!!!

Synamonn: What the HELL is Tanner doin’ out here interferin’ in the match?! Isn’t it Lancelot he wants dead?

Tanner tosses Cypher off Power and leans down, pulling Power up a bit by his shirt and slaps him in the face.

Adrian: *faintly* Wake up, I said! I just saved your punk ass from getting pinned!

Kilburn goes for Tanner, but he’s taken down to the mat by “The Demon Fox” Brandon Young with the Reality Check!

[01:54]

Synamonn: Now, that was just TOTALLY uncalled for. Those two could have waited a few more seconds and it would have been over!. As it is, he’s just killing time off the clock and he’s injured Dan with that move!

Tito: *wiping forehead* Whatever. It’s in the Boss’ favor and as stated at the start, there are no DQ’s, so this is legal!

T.H. rouses up and knocks Tanner’s hand off and rolls over, spying Young getting off the downed Kilburn. Power gets to his feet and turns around to find Tanner with a mic.

Adrian: Sorry about this, but you wouldn’t see me. Well, now you are. I want you to change Kaycee’s match against Lancelot to me and him. I want her out of it!

T.H. signals for a mic, which is immediately put in his hand by Yuri, who was waiting.

[01:31]

T.H. Power: First off, you HAD your shot at Lancelot and you walked out of it, remember? You were too good for the TV Title or to take it off him. Why should I give you another? Secondly, why the hell do you think I’d do you a favor for interfering in my match?

Tanner gets in Power’s face.

Adrian: Because now it’s personal! You made me f*BLEEP* STAND THERE and listen to him talk bad about her and now you won’t let me do anything about it! You OWE me for that and now this!!

T.H. Power: Owe YOU?! It’s KAYCEE’S business since it’s HER reputation. That means if SHE wants the first shot at him then SHE gets it. You would have had something on me making you listen to him, but what the hell made you think I’d help you for interfering in MY business? I certainly don’t owe you anything. You blew it, Tanner.

Young grabs Adrian’s mic.

Brandon: What do you mean he blew it?! YOU blew it! You LET Lancelot mouth off about her and didn’t do a DAMN THING!

[01:13]

Power glances at the time and then turns to Young. To the side, Kilburn stirs as Shion stands next to the apron, reaching in and shaking him.

T.H. Power: Just hold your horses, lover boy. I DID do something. I’m giving Kaycee the chance not only to take back her honor her way, but giving her the opportunity to get that title off his scrawny ass. My favor to the two of you was to ALLOW you and Adrian to be at ringside WITH her. That was your “owe me,” Tanner. Now both of you get out of my ring. I have a match to win.

Power yanks the mic from Young and hands both of them to Yuri. Tanner and Young speak heatedly. The ref orders them out as T.H. walks over to Kilburn and grabs him by the leg and drags him to the center of the ring. He rolls him over for a pin.

Synamonn: Oh, that’s right Powah, let someone else do your dirty work and you get all the perks!

Tito: What’s the matter Synamonn? Worried about your buddy? Looks like the Boss has this won!

1…

2…

Kickout!

[00:41]

Tito: I think T.H. has this won. He said he’d last the entire 15 and he’s going to!

Power stands and hoists his opponent into a crucifix over his shoulder. He lowers his arms and moves Cypher down across his chest, bracing him with one arm and hooking his neck with the other. He jumps forward and plants Kilburn headfirst, almost in a brainbuster DDT style.

Tito: STOCK MARKET CRASH!! IT’S ALL OVER!

Power covers for the pin.

1…

2…

3..

No! The pin is broken!

[00:25]

Tito: What the hell?

Synamonn: Looks like someone’s not a happy camper.

Tanner and Young jerk a struggling Power to his feet.

Adrian: *faintly* F*BLEEP* YOU, POWER!!

Tanner hits Power with the Revolver and he and Young slide out of the ring and walk off backstage.

[00:14]

Synamonn: REVOLVER! As ya said earlier… I think it’s all over… oh, look. Dan is moving. C’mon Dan, get an arm on him!

Kilburn is indeed moving, barely. He turns his head and sees Power down and tries to roll over.

[00:10]

He keeps trying…

[00:08]

Kilburn manages to roll over, but Power is about a foot out of reach.

[00:06]

He stretches and draws a knee beneath him.

[00:04]

Cypher lunges forward with his knee.

[00:03]

His hand falls just shy.. until he lifts it and stretches…

Synamonn: You can do it, Dan! Stretch!!!

[00:02]

He gets a hand over Power!

1…

[00:01]

2…

[00:00]

~DING DING DING~

3!

Synamonn: NOOOOO!!! The ref is saying he only got a 2 count before the bell!

Tito: Thank goodness! Cypher didn’t win!

Synamonn: Well, neither did Powah!

Tito: After all this, it’s time for a commercial! Thanks for being here, Synamonn… even if your pal Cypher didn’t win! Stay tuned! We'll be right back!

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

The scene opens up backstage on T.H. Power. He glares at the camera as he is being attended by one of the med team techs, who is trying to clean the blood off his face. Power brushes him aside and steps toward the camera.

T.H. Power: Tanner! Young! If you think for one second I'm going to let what you did go without a word or compensation, you're mistaken. I don't have time right now to take care of the two of you personally. So.. I'm going to do what I do best in these situations.

He pauses for effect.

T.H. Power: Brandon Young you are hereby the first competitor to be signed up for the "Six-Shooter" Ironman Challenge. I hope you do better than you did in "Got Wood?" For you, Tanner...

Power smirks in anticipation.

T.H. Power: I have something special planned for you at New Era.

He chuckles.

T.H. Power: You don't get the shot at the $100,000 and the bonuses, unless you think you're good enough for the Invitational AND another match... For now, though, both of you are confined to your locker rooms until the TV Title match. I'm not going to have you running rampant and interfering in other matches tonight because you can't reign in your tempers. Security is on their way to escort you back to your locker rooms. I won't risk you f*BLEEP*ing up the TV Title match before hand.

He waves the camera off as he's beseiged by TKOW personnel demanding his attention.

The scene cuts back to Tito at the announce table.

Tito: The Boss is obviously not happy that Adrian Tanner, Jr. and Brandon Young meddled with his match against Cypher and has made plans to do something about that.

Poppi holds his hand up to one side of his headset.

Tito: Folks, it seems Jace Mingla is on the move backstage! My bet is he's going after Doberman!

The view from a backstage camera shows on the Khaostron. It looks up the hall as Jace Mingla seems to be bearing down in its direction. He bypasses the camera completely and goes to a dressing room door, throwing it open without so much as a knock. The camera man rushes over to see what is going on and, shockingly, the dressing room Jace just barged in on belongs to none other than the Birds of Prey!

Lady Hawke is seated, pulling on a long boot, and jumps to her feet immediately in a defensive stance. Sensing that something is amiss, Trine and Matt rush in from an adjacent room and stop dead in their tracks.

Matt: *eyes narrowing* You'd do well to knock before entering a dressing room…

Jace: I’m here for that one.

Jace points accusingly at Trine and recognition flashes across Trine’s exposed features.

Matt: Listen, Jace-

Trine: No, Matt. I know why he's here.

Trine walks right up to Jace, no fear evident in his features, yet not radiating defiance either. Jace bristles and his hands pump into fists as he simmers with anger.

Jace: I was told that somebody had been sneaking around the hospital my son is at while I was gone this past week. Somebody who was asking a lot of questions about me. At first, I figured it was somebody from Child Protective Services that Doberman sicced on me, but... it turns out that the description I was given sounded a hell of a lot like you. Combine that with the fact that one of the security guards is one hell of a wrestling fan and it becomes an open and shut case. So tell me, Trine, why exactly were you even in the remotest vicinity of my son? And, if I were you, I’d make it a damn good explanation.

Trine considers Jace for a moment before speaking his piece.

Trine: It was me Jace, I admit it. I run a little private detective business on the side along with my bodyguard services. Doberman hired me to look into your appropriateness as a parent before he went ahead and started a full blown investigation.

Jace: Oh really?

Trine: Yes. That’s the ONLY reason I was there. I meant your son no harm.

Jace: Aside from the fact that you are helping to take him away from me, you son of a bitch!

Matt: ENOUGH!

Trine holds up his hand up as Matt pushes towards them.

Trine: Matt, it's fine. I can take care of this.

He returns his attention to Jace.

Trine: Yes! I did some digging and some fact checking into your relationship with your son and do you want to know what I was able to report back to Doberman?

Jace takes a slight step closer to him and brings his face perilously close to Trine's masked one.

Jace: Do tell.

Trine: I told him… I told him about all the sleepless nights you spend holding your son’s hand as he nods off. I told him how you accompany your boy to all of his appointments and sit with him and cry when he’s sick from the chemo, or in pain, or just scared. I told Johnathan Doberman how much you LOVE your son and, that despite how you may act here in TKOW, he has virtually no legal legs to stand on if he wants to liberate your son from you.

Jace blinks a couple times and backs away from Trine slowly.

Trine: I think you might also like to know that, because Doberman has some major heat with Power, he tendered his resignation and that this match will be his last in TKOW and he’s not going to press these charges any further.

Jace: So… It’s over? He’s dropping this shit?

Trine: He has no choice. He has no hard evidence of child neglect and Power is going to bust his ass if he overstays his welcome or has any contact with any TKOW talent beyond today. On a personal note… Despite all the rotten things you’ve done in TKOW, your relationship with your son is something truly beautiful. Surprising… but beautiful, and that's coming from me to you, one father to another.

Jace stands in front of Trine, dumbfounded for a moment, shocked into awkward silence. Matt is the first to break the silence.

Matt: How… how is your son doing Jace?

Jace’s head darts abruptly to look at Matt. He’s still speechless, rendered into a confused state by the show of genuine concern by someone who by all rights should hate him and all he stands for.

Jace: He’s… in remission… doing, uh, better. I… I have a match…

Jace looks about at the three people he barged in on with an air of suspicion and backs out of their locker room.

A quick cut shows Tito Poppi at ringside.

Tito: Well, folks… I’m not quite sure WHAT to make of that. For a second there at the end it was almost like Jace Mingla was acting like a… well... ”normal” person. Weird, huh? On top of that, what Trine said about The Android John Doberman is correct. This is his final TKOW match. You don’t cross the boss! He’s in the ring right now as I wait on our next surprise guest announcer, who is about to miss the opening bell…Wh-

Tito is interrupted by some familiar sounding theme music. “Clint Eastwood” by the Gorrillaz hit, and out from the back steps Carlos Diaz! The fans pop as Carlos hobbles his way to the announce position, adorned with about five pounds of gaudy bling, khaki shorts and a puffy Hawaiian shirt.

Tito: Hot damn folks, its former TKOW manager Carlos Diaz! Diaz! We haven’t seen you in years!

Carlos takes a seat and puts on a headset.

Carlos: Has it been YEARS already, Poppi? I’ve lost track of time I’ve been so busy with my wildly successful talent agency, Diaz and Diaz Management Services.

Diaz sends a thumbs up at the camera, placing more emphasis on his cheap plug.

Tito: Successful? But last I saw you were operating out of your car-

Carlos: All in the past Poppi! All in the past! For your information I have moved up in the world!

Tito: Your own building?

Carlos: Well…no…more like a van, but it’s a badass van with flames on the side!

Tito: So, you have to tell us, any word from some of your past clients?

Carlos: Don’t even go there Tito. I haven’t heard anything from either of ‘em… and I think that’s kinda for the best.

Tito: Maybe so, but you can’t fault me for asking.

Nena's “99 Red Balloons” hits and out comes Communist John with the jiggly-puffed costumed Katie in tow! John walks to the top of the ramp and starts doing pelvic thrusts into the air, screaming “MEEEEE SOOOOOO HORNY!” at the top of his lungs! He bolts to the ring, leaving a befuddled Katie behind in his wake.

Yuri Testkov: THE SECOND CONTENDER IN THIS MATCH, HAILING FROM ANN ARBOR MICHIGAN... STANDING 6 FEET 5 INCHES TALL AND WEIGHING IN AT 398 POUNDS... REPRESENTING THE BAYOU STREET MAFIA... COMMUNIST JOOOOOOOHHHHHNNNNN!

John reaches over to Yuri and snatches the mic from him.

John: *into the mic* WHO’S SOOOOO HORNY?!

Crowd: WE ARE!

John: WHOOOOOO!

John then looks as though he’s about to leave the ring and enter the crowd, stopping for a moment to begin to remove his shorts! However, Katie yells for him to stop just in time and John abides by his lovely girlfriend. Yuri snatches the mic back from a confused Communist John.

Carlos: How does a headcase like that, get a piece of ass like THAT?!

Tito: Different strokes for different folks I guess…

Carlos: Don’t give me that crap! I’m a massively successful businessman and I’m lucky if I can convince the toothless hooker on the corner to give me a three dollar discount! HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Tito: Well, you do work out of a van…

Carlos: A BADASS VAN! WITH FLAMES! Women should be showering me with their panties right now! There is NO justice. NONE!

The ‘Tron flickers to life as the music does simultaneously. The sound is like a synthesized banjo, a strange sounding “twang” that one gets the sense is building to something ominous. Some might recognize the song as “The Devil’s Rejects” by Rob Zombie. Suddenly, the top of the stage is bathed in massive gouts of blue and black flame. The ‘Tron shows grainy black and white images of militia and military shock troopers marching in lockstep… from Communist Gestapo to Nazi SS are shown, all interspersed with each other and serving as a tribute to flagrant abuse of power. That’s when the lyrics kick in…

I am the bad one,
Distant and cruel one,
I am the dream that,
Keeps you running down,
With distraction,
Violent reaction,
Scars of my actions,
Watch me running out,

The song gets harder and by now the fire is creating a great deal of smoke at the top of the ramp way. Nonetheless, a large figure can be seen inside it, partially obscured…

Hell doesn't want them.
Hell doesn't need them.
Hell doesn't love them.
The Devil's Rejects [x2]

The video on the big screen is slowly getting more and more violent, slipping back and forth between the historical stock footage mentioned before and scenes of modern violence amidst the urban landscape. Yet, there is still more, because to the keen eye…interspersed amongst this collage of tragedy are brief flashes of other unrelated images…

….images of the devil…

Yeah, I am the brains,
Some say insane,
Blood is the rain,
That's what life's about,
In the great wide,
Head split and tongue tied,
Watch the sun die,
When you're running out,

The man in the smoke is starting to step to the fore, and the closer he gets the more obvious it becomes how powerfully built he is…

Hell doesn't want them.
Hell doesn't need them.
Hell doesn't love them.

The Devil's Rejects
The Devil's Rejects

With a massive explosion of fire, the blue and black flames create a wall of pyro, a twisting morass of heat and sickly looking fire. As soon as it flashes to life the wall fades…leaving a man standing visible at the edge of the smoke….

Yeah I am the knuckle,
Bow down and buckle,
Hold your breath,
Your world is running down,
Live for the family,
Die with the family,
All is the family,
My gun is running out,


….Jace Mingla steps out from the cloud, trailing tendrils of smoke just behind him and giving the illusion that he has just stepped out of darkness itself. He makes his way down to the ring with a quiet menace and air of authority.

Hell doesn't want them.
Hell doesn't need them.
Hell doesn't love them.
This world rejects them.
This world rejects them.
This world rejects them.
This world rejects them.

Jace slinks into the corner, arms clutching the ropes as his eyes lock on Johnathan Doberman.

Yuri Testkov: AND THE FINAL COMPETITOR... HAILING FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA... STANDING 6 FEET 2 INCHES AND WEIGHING IN AT 267 POUNDS... “ICEHART” JACE MIIIIIINNNGLLLAAAAAAA!!!

Carlos: So whats the deal with this Doberman guy? I heard this is his last match.

Tito: It is. He didn’t even bother to cut so much as to even address his opponents for the second show in a row. Frankly, I’m surprised he even bothered to show up.

Carlos: Really? Wow… what a dickhead.

Tito: Yeah, and now Jace is looking like he’s going to rip him apart for threatening to get his son taken away from him.

The bell rings, and surprisingly Jace doesn’t move. He remains stoic in the corner. Doberman starts eying Jace, no doubt wondering what his game is when Communist John blindsides The Android. He knocks Doberman into the corner with a lariat and starts hitting him with a series of savage elbows.

Tito: Communist John is putting every bit of his plump, nearly 400 pound frame into those shots!

Carlos: Plump? We prefer “plus sized” Tito! JESUS, boy you need some sensitivity training!

Tito: Wow…I can’t believe I’m getting lectured on sensitivity by Carlos Diaz…

Carlos: You’ll deal…… *long pause* …dickhead! BWAHAHAHA!

Doberman starts to fire back to get himself out of the corner. He irish whips Communist John into the corner Jace is standing in, and Jace simply moves out of the way as John rams the corner hart and stumbles back into a waiting roll-up by Doberman!

1…

2…

NO! Communist John kicks out!

Doberman picks John up and starts peppering him with Punches. Android goes for a scoop slam on John, but fails to lift him up.

Carlos: What is he, retahded?

Android backs off John, holding his back from the strain. Unfortunately, this puts his face level with John’s crotch, so John grabs Doberman by his hair and pulls him face first into his gyrating groin! Doberman stumbles back, horrified, and Communist John takes this opportunity to wrap Doberman up and drop him with a DDT. John gets to his feet and puts his dukes up, looking at Jace.

John: C'mon and fight!

Jace: *nonchalantly* Nah….you’re doing fine there, chief.

John shrugs and picks Doberman up.

Tito: This is bizarre, I would have thought Jace would be itchin’ to get back at Doberman.

Doberman gets to his feet with Jon’s help, and he surprises the biggest perv in wrestling by barreling him back into the corner. Suddenly, Jace takes this chance to strike. While Doberman has his back turned Jace clips his left knee. Doberman goes down and Jace quickly rolls out of the ring. The ref attempts to order Jace back in, but Jace instead grabs a chair!

Tito: This is more like what I was expecting!

Carlos: Somebody’s getting’ effed up! SWEET!

Jace gets in the ring with the chair and starts jamming it into the corner between the second and third turnbuckle. The ref is ordering Jace to stop and Jace throws his hands up and walks away from the turnbuckle, giving the ref a chance to remove the chair. But, as the ref is distracted, Jace pulls out a lead pipe he had strapped to his calf! He then starts brutally bashing Doberman’s clipped knee with the pipe! Jace is gripped with rage as he does so, making it clear he attempts to cripple Doberman! The skin on Doberman’s knee busts open and he cries out in pain! Jace chucks the pipe out of the ring just as the ref returns to the action.

Tito: God, that was a savage, premeditated assault!

Carlos: It was friggin’ brilliant is what it was!

By now, Communist John is on his feet and Jace backs away. He gestures down at Doberman’s prostrate form and John nods.

Carlos: He wants the big retarded guy to pin him!

Communist John sits on Doberman’s head!! Doberman is in so much pain he can’t fight back. He taps out quickly!

Yuri Testkov: YOUR WINNER... BY SUBMISSION... COMMUNIST JOHN!

Jace summons a mic from ringside as John, oblivious, remains seated on Doberman’s head.

Jace: Hey, John. Communist John. This is Doberman’s last match and he told me in the back that he was really horny.

This immediately gets John’s attention.

John: HE SO HORNY?!

Jace: Yeah… real horny. And he said he wanted you to rub your giant cucumber co*BLEEP* all over his face.

Tito: Oh… oh no…

Carlos: Poppi… I didn’t sign up for this shit!!

John darts to his feet and drops trow! The camera cuts away just in time to the announce table, where Tito looks horrified and Diaz looks amazed and revolted at the same time.

Carlos: LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT...

A technical difficulties screen with the image of a shrugging and sheepish looking T.H. Power appears. After about a minute we return to the ring, where Jace Mingla is left standing and guys in TKOW shirts are trying to scrub up a pile of vomit.

Carlos: Well, I can’t wait to get home and deep throat a shotgun so I can blow that image out of my head!

Jace: *addressing everyone in attendance* Yeah, I decided Doberman really wasn’t worth my time after all, but I still couldn’t resist fucking him over and humiliating him after what he tried to do to my kid. *pauses* And speaking of my kid… I don’t imagine too many of you will give a shit, but my son is recovering from cancer, and, if he’s well enough, I plan on bringing him to the next show. Now, I know most of you hate my guts. I don’t really give a shit, but if my son comes, all of you people… and everyone in the back….had better treat him with respect. Do NOT judge him for my actions. And you all know I don’t repeat myself or give second warnings.

Jace tosses the mic back out of the ring as his music hits.

Tito: Well, that gross spectacle aside, interesting news that Jace is actually bringing his son to a TKOW broadcast. An odd move for a very private man.

Carlos: Tito… I…

Carlos leans over and heaves into an adjacent wastebasket.

Tito: Well… talk about delayed reactions. We’ll be right back, folks!

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Cut backstage to the Team 7 locker room with a dozen police officers standing in front of the door. The camera changes to inside the room, where Adrian Tanner and Brandon Young are pacing back and forth around the room, arguing with their lawyer, Andrew Thompson.

Adrian: We don’t need these cops babysitting us, Thompson.

Thompson: Oh, yes you do. If you two hotheads get in the way before this match, my case against this Lancelot guy and his girlfriend is pretty much ruined! I won’t let that happen!

Adrian: I don’t give a damn about your ‘case!’ The only thing I care about tonight is breaking Lancelot’s f*BLEEP*ing neck!

Brandon: What he said.

Thompson: Well, you may not, but your sister does! So I suggest you two sit the heck down and wait.

Melody Abrams walks in from another door. She walks right past Adrian, without even looking at him, and sits down on a bench.

Thompson: How is she?

Melody: How do you think she is?

Thompson: Not happy.

Melody glares at Adrian.

Melody: No, she’s not.

Adrian: I’m gonna f*BLEEP*in KILL him!

Thompson: No, you’re going to sit down and cool off. I’m gonna go console Ms. Tanner.

Brandon: Who the hell made you the boss?

Melody: Your girlfriend did.

Brandon: …

[That got Brandon’s attention…]

Melody: Sit down.

Both of you!

[Boy, if looks could kill…Adrian’d be one dead duck right now…]

Adrian: …

Reluctantly, Adrian sits down. Brandon takes a seat next to him.

Thompson: Thank you, Melody.

Melody: No problem.

Melody allows a small grin to cross her face. Thompson heads into the other room to talk to Kaycee.

Adrian: Lancelot is going to die for this…

Melody: Quiet, you.

Adrian: …

Melody laughs as Adrian fumes. The camera cuts back to ringside where The Birds of Prey, along with Matt Griffen, are already in the ring and playing up to the crowd, who is cheering wildly.

Yuri Testkov: THE FOLLOWING IS A SPECIAL RULES TAG MATCH! ACCOMPANIED BY MATT GRIFFEN, REPRESENTING SECTION 8… TRINE AND LADY HAWKE…. THE BIRDS OF PREEEEEYYYY!!!

Tito: The Birds are already in the ring and ready to go as is one of tonight’s trial announcers. Her name is Skeeter Cardwell. Welcome to TKOW, Skeeter.

Skeeter Cardwell: Thanks, Tito. I’m looking forward to this. I asked specifically for this match.

Tito: Why is that, Skeeter?

Skeeter: Because I’m a big fan of the Church of Pain and Suffering and I just wanna f-

"Freak" by Flipp kicks in over the speakers...

{Jack Nicholson}
(Yeah. Wait'll they get a load of me...)

A shot of Carpenter, The Metatron, and Phoenix sitting on the stone throne appears on the 'tron.

GO!

A large circle of fire lights on the right side of the stage.

{Flipp}
I remember my high school teacher
She used to say I was a high school creature
And now my boss, says I am a lost cause
Some things are not what they seem
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like everybody else
That's why they call me a freak
I asked my therapist if there was a cure
For people scared and actin' insecure
They treat me like a virus
They beat me to my knees
They treat me like a social disease

A throne begins to rise from circle. Phoenix is sitting on it, hands clasped underneath his chin. The Metatron stands to his right, the TKOW Title around his waist and holding his Rosary, while Carpenter is on the left, carrying Phoenix's bat.

I was always afraid of walking home everyday
Those creeps would beat me up and take my money away
They make me feel like a loser
No matter what I did
I was just your average fucked up kid
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like everybody else
That's why they call me a freak
FREAK!

Carpenter jumps over the flames, holding the bat up to the heavens, taking in the jeers of the crowd.

FREAK!

The 'tron shows Phoenix and Matt Griffen going through the mat at MegaBowl V.

FREAK!

The 'tron shows Phoenix stretching out Tobias Burden with The Rings.

FREAK!

The 'tron shows Carpenter punching out Celine Dion.

(There is nothing worse than the sound)
(Of the tears of a clown)
(When there is no one around)

The 'tron shows Phoenix and Carpenter on the stage at MegaBowl V holding the TKOW Title.

That's why they call me a freak
Cuz i don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak

I'm all alone in a crowd
I want to shout it out loud
The voices inside my head
Don't hear a thing that you said
They tell me where you can go
I think you already know
That you're the one who is weak
That's why they call me a freak

At the desk, Tito stares at Skeeter in near shock.

Tito: I… I can’t believe that… What woman in her right mind would?!

Yuri Testkov: THEIR OPPONENTS… ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE METATRON… “DEACON” CARPENTER AND TKOW “FIERY” CHAMPION PHOENIX… THE CHURCH OF PAIN AND SUFFERIIIIIIINNNNG!!

Phoenix, Carpenter and the Metatron make their way down to the ramp, Carpenter threatening some of the jeering and boo’ing crowd with the bat. When they enter the ring, Carpenter makes a beeline toward Lady Hawke, but the ref intercepts him, demanding the bat. Phoenix hands his rosary to the Metatron. Carpenter starts to swing at the ref as Griffen steps toward the center of the ring grabbing it. Grinning through his bandages, Carpenter releases the bat. Matt hands the bat to the ref as Carpenter puts on his mask. The ref immediately demands the brass knuckles as well. He complies, but points at Lady Hawke as Griffen backs off and steps through the ropes to the apron. Phoenix hands his rosary to the Metatron while eyeing the Birds.

Tito: What the… Did Carpenter just hand over the bat and knucks without a fight? Is he wussing out?

Skeeter: It’s obviously part of his dark and sinister plan. He wanted to see how Griffen is going to react. I bet the idiot just messed up things for his boyfriend and girly friend. The Church is going to so dominate this match. There’re no two ways about it!

Tito: We’ll just see about that. After all, the rules are that the Church has to pin both Lady Hawke and Trine to win, while Lady Hawke only has to pin either Phoenix or Carpenter to win!

Skeeter: That’s totally unfair you know. It’s just Power trying to give his bitch a head start.

The ref pats down Phoenix and then checks Lady Hawke and Trine for weapons. Hawke hands over her escrima from the pouch on her thigh before the ref even can ask.

Tito: Now hold on there, Lady Hawke is not Power’s bitch! She’s Griffen’s fiancé!

Skeeter: That’s what we’re all led to believe. Power’s a huge pervert. Has been since he entered the wrestling biz. I’d bet he’s tapped Hawke and that slutty Aello both at the same time.

Tito: Hold on right there! You’re lying! There’s no proof of that!

Skeeter: No? Then why else would Phoenix beat up on his former girl? If she was supposedly having a kid, it was probably Power’s and she was just passing it off as his! With all the rumors running round, he probably found out about her and Hawke and Power and got pissed because he didn’t get it or wasn’t invited!

Tito: You’re really off base on that. I refuse to believe any of that crap about Lady Hawke or Aello.

Skeeter: So you don’t deny it about Power?

The ref calls for the bell. Phoenix steps out as Trine, LH, and Matt confer in the corner. The ref moves toward the corner as LH steps in. She moves toward Phoenix and the stop a few feet from one another in the center of the ring and start circling for an opening.

Tito: How can I? He admits to being a perv.

Skeeter: Looks like the bitch is starting things off.

Tito: You’re really starting to piss me off with that.

Skeeter: Good. You’re just another goody two-shoes!

Phoenix finally steps in and goes for a few martial arts punches, which Hawke blocks. She begins a flurry of kicks, which for the most part he avoids, but then she leaps and gets him with a jawbreaker, quickly rolling away for distance. As he starts to get back up, she runs at him for a famouser, but he rears back on a knee as she leaps. He reaches up and gets his hands on her, and grabbing her and slamming her down to the mat back first with extreme force. He tries a pin!

1…

2-

Kickout!

The ref makes him move as Lady Hawke rolls onto her side and to a knee, her hand at her back rubbing her spine. She stares up at Phoenix’s masked sneering face as Carpenter whoops in their corner, pointing at Hawke.

Skeeter: Phoenix nearly had her there!

Tito: If it had been anyone else, he might have, but not Lady Hawke. She’s a tough Bird. Tougher than a lot of the men here in TKOW.

Skeeter: Oh, blow it out your ass, Tito. There’s no way she’s tougher than a man.

Tito: You obviously know nothing about her.

Hawke gets to her feet as Phoenix approaches. She drives him back with a standing dropkick. She has just enough time to get to her feet when he attacks with some Mongolian chops. She blocks his palm heel and throws her own right punch, which he catches.

Skeeter: I know where this is going!

Phoenix sends a palm strike to their face, turns into Lady Hawke, taking her right arm into an armbar with his own right arm, then back elbows her face, grabs her head, and hits a stunner. The majority of the crowd boo and jeer hard.

Skeeter: PX-Stunner!! Get her Phoenix! Pin that bitch!

Phoenix goes for the pin again!

1…

2…

3-

Trine breaks the pin and is attacked by Carpenter, who hits him with a top rope missile dropkick as he rises. The ref attempts to make both leave the ring. Phoenix heads for Lady Hawke again, leaning over her, but she suddenly jerks both legs up to her chest and nails him in the gut with both feet, kicking him completely back into the ropes.

Tito: Lady Hawke with a good comeback, knocking the wind out of Phoenix. No!! Carpenter is going after her while the ref’s back is turned!

Hawke sits in a squat low on her feet when she hears Griffen’s yell. She sweeps a leg out, tripping Carpenter, then somersaults back to her feet, moving to stand on the other side of Carpenter away from her opponent. She sees Phoenix coming back off the ropes toward her. She waits completely still, as if frozen in fear until Phoenix is nearly upon her, just on the other side of Carpenter, who is starting to sit up.

Skeeter: The bitch has lost it. She’s scared to death!

Hawke leaps suddenly into a standing dropkick on Phoenix and uses him to flip on over into the shooting star press on Carpenter. She immediately rolls away again, scrambles to her feet and to her corner, tagging in Trine as Phoenix hits the ropes a second time. The crowd cheers hard for Lady Hawke.

Tito: Wrong! That was the Two-Quick! She was thinking and setting them up!

Trine enters the ring as the ref forces Carpenter out. Phoenix heads toward Trine a bit cautiously, occasionally glancing to keep an eye on Matt. They circle one another, Trine’s fingers flexing in anticipation.

Tito: Phoenix doesn’t know anything about Trine since he’s never seen him fight before. That could be to Trine’s advantage.

Skeeter: It won’t take Phoenix long to feel him out. He’s a newcomer. He’s inexperienced. He’ll be laying on the canvas in a matter of moments.

Tito: I don’t know about that…

Trine attacks with a couple European uppercuts. Phoenix retaliates with some palm strikes and a Judo flip toss, throwing Trine into the Church’s corner. Trine stands only to have Carpenter grab him from behind and pull him down into a choke on the ropes. The ref admonishes Carpenter, who gestures that he was only “helping him to his feet.” Phoenix grabs Trine up into a bearhug and then slams him down. He pulls him up into a belly-to-belly suplex, making sure to keep him away from the Bird’s corner. Phoenix stalks him. As soon as Trine gets to his feet, Phoenix is nearly on him and he goes for a Southern kick. Phoenix catches it and Trine immediately follows with an enziguri. Phoenix is slightly stunned from it and Trine regains his feet and pulls Phoenix into a fireman’s carry powerbomb hard to the canvas. Hawke whistles as the crowd cheers.

Tito: Trine finally got in some offense!

Skeeter: After how long? You wanna bet Phoenix was just playing possum to see what he can do?

The two get to their feet. Phoenix cracks his neck, a small smile on his lips. He rushes Trine and gets him with a headlock takedown, staying down and holding the headlock.

Skeeter: What did I tell you? He was playing with the stupid bird!

Phoenix finally has enough and lets go, getting back to his feet, only to fall with a elbow onto Trine’s shoulders and neck. The crowd boos. Phoenix rolls to his feet pulls Trine up and X-DDTs him hard to the mat. He goes for the pin.

1…

2…

Female Voice: Phoenix…

Kickout!

Phoenix looks around in surprise, as do Carpenter and the Birds. Phoenix gets to his feet as an image flickers to snowy life on the Khaostron.

Female Voice: Phoenix… Carpenter… do I… have your… attention now?

Tito: She sounds familiar!

Skeeter: Oh HELL NO! NOT HER!

Aello, dressed in black with her black feathered masquerade mask appears on the ‘tron.

Trine takes advantage of the surprise and tornado DDTs Phoenix to the mat! Phoenix comes up fighting, trying to get away from Trine. He shoves him back and moves to his corner, tagging in Carpenter. Phoenix hops off the apron to watch the ‘tron.

Aello: You… want… to… know.

Carpenter yells at Phoenix about the match as he climbs in the ring and is immediately jumped by Trine, who lands a southern kick on him. Carpenter falls into the ropes and comes back off with a headbutt, mask to mask on Trine with a huge popping sound. He advances with a spinning clotheslines, dropping Trine to the mat. He springboards off the ropes with a diving headbutt, but Trine moves at the last second!

Aello: You… think… you… deserve… to… know…

Tito: What is going on here?! What is it that Phoenix wants to know?!

Phoenix quickly glances around the arena, in the ring and back to the ‘tron. Trine immediately rolls to the side and puts Carpenter into a Tequila Sunrise (half crab with armlock). Carpenter laughs as Trine tightens up the hold.

Aello: after… what… you… did?

Phoenix glances at the ring and sees Carpenter in trouble. He heads for the ring and slides in. The ref tries to push him out. Phoenix shoves the ref to the side and knocks Trine off Carpenter. Lady Hawke dives into the ring, running full speed and leaping over Trine and Carpenter to land a flying elbow on Phoenix, both of them tumbling to the mat and rolling out onto the floor. Griffen immediately runs around the ring to the two, pulling Hawke off Phoenix and yelling for her to get back to her corner, pointing at Trine and Carpenter still in the ring. With the referee distracted, Carpenter is laying closed-hand punches to Trine’s head and exposed face. Carpenter pulls Trine up and knees him in the groin, doubling him over, hitting a double-underhook DDT. Hawke nods and sprints back around as Matt stands between the two of them, keeping distance between him and Phoenix.

Aello: If… you… can… catch… me…

Carpenter snap suplexes Trine. Trine gets to his feet and looks to attack, feinting a punch. Carpenter rushes in only to be thrown to the mat with a powerslam hip toss. Trine follows up with his own diving headbutt before Carpenter can roll over. When Trine gets up, blood runs out from under his red and gold mask.

Aello: Maybe… I’ll tell…

The lights flicker off and there are screams. When the lights come back on, a black-caped and masked Aello stands several feet behind Phoenix, a mic in hand. She reaches out with some type of telescoping metal wand and taps him lightly on the shoulder. He spins around.

Aello: Do you want to know?

Phoenix stares at her then takes a step towards her. She takes one back as well.

In the ring, Trine tags Hawke then pulls Carpenter up into a powerbomb position as Hawke climbs the ropes.

Phoenix walks toward Aello. She tosses the mic and wand and runs toward the Bird’s corner. He sprints after her, but she’s faster.

As Trine hits the powerbomb, Lady Hawke comes off the ropes with a neckbreaker. Trine immediately steps out as Hawke covers for the pin!

Aello passes the Bird’s corner and yells. Griffen jumps down off the apron into Phoenix’s path as Aello leaps the barrier and runs into the audience.

1…

Phoenix tries to sidestep to get by Griffen, but Matt won’t let him. Phoenix mouths off to him and Griffen mouths right back.

2…

Phoenix draws back as if for a punch, but dives to Griffen’s side with the feint to try to get to Aello. Trine dives off the apron, knocking Phoenix into Griffen and they all start brawling on the floor!

3!

The ref calls for the bell as Lady Hawke rolls to the side as he kicks her off.

Yuri Testkov: THE WINNERS OF THE TAG MATCH ARE LADY HAWKE AND TRINE…. THE BIRDS OF PREEEYYY!!!!

Tito: Lady Hawke and Trine did it!!

Skeeter: Son of a bitch! It was all the slut’s doing!

The crowd cheers wildly as LH gets her arm held up by the ref for only a moment as Carpenter comes after her. She slides out of the ring and dashes to the time keepers’ table, grabbing her escrima. Carpenter is hot on her trail and grabs his brass knuckles, putting them on, and then the bat. He gives chases after Lady Hawke.

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: If Phoenix had been paying attention, they wouldn’t have lost.

Skeeter: She did it on purpose. The Birds cheated for the win!

Tito: No, they didn’t! They were as surprised as Phoenix to see her. They’re not cheaters!

Skeeter: Everyone saw and knows!

Phoenix and Griffen are barely separated by a dozen security (6 each) men and they’re having a difficult time of it as the two keep trying to get to one another. Meanwhile, Lady Hawke is dodging bat swings by Carpenter.

Tito: I think we’ll go to commercial while security gets things under control here. Don’t go away!

Skeeter: I’ll take this judgement up with Power himself. It was a cheating win!

Tito: NO, IT WASN’T!

Skeeter: WAS!

*The banner darkly fades in slowly, the TKOW logo in the top left first becoming visible, then the entire thing suddenly flashing into full view and color as the rising sun breaks over the horizon in it.*



VOICE OVER: COMING SOON!

The banner fades out and the shot focuses back on Tito sitting at the announce table alone for the moment.

Tito: That's going to be one hell of a match and I'm hoping the "Six-Shooter" Ironman Invitaional will be just as good. Then there's that mystery match that T.H. has planned for Adrian Tanner, Jr. New Era is really looking to be pretty good!

Tito shakes his head, a look of worry on his features.

Tito: I was worried for a moment that that Carpenter was going to get Lady Hawke, but she managed to get away while security delayed him and finally separated Matt and Phoenix. Trine disappeared off into the audience, probably looking for Aello to make sure she's safe after her unexpected appearance here tonight.

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

Power stalks down the ramp, clearly aggravated. He slides into the ring and slams his briefcase down on a turnbuckle before opening it and retrieving a mic.

T.H. Power: A stinkin tie. Fifteen minutes and nothing but a saved by the clock? When I get done with you, Tanner, you’re gonna wish to god you just went and rejoined UCW.

But right now, I have important business. Long overdue business, in fact.

Tito: Hm. Sounds like a bit of a shot at Dan Killburn leaked in there. The man does NOT look happy.

T.H. Power: At MegaBowl… we all witnessed something… we never thought could happen. We saw a proud man of principles reduced to a mindless order taking thug. In the months following, he became the object of a tasteless sham, a mediocre attention grabbing crock, all to misdirect our attention away from the most pressing question of all.

Why, Phoenix?

The crowd begins chanting “He’s an ass-hole”. T.H. frowns, shaking his head, and waving them down.

Tito: The gathered throng is clearly unhappy with the champions actions of the last year.

T.H. Power: We’ve all been so focused on what he’s become, what he’s done, we’ve been blinded, just like that conniving little psychopath wanted us to be. But lemme tell you what, the Power don’t blind that easily!

I have dug, and I have scrounged, and I have broken more than a dozen laws, but now, after all this time, I can clear the air! I can tell these people, all these people, just what it is that you have over our champion. Once I do, it’s over for you nutball!

T.H. opens the case and pulls out a manilla envelope.

Tito: What?! Could the boss have really found out where the strings are located? Could we actually see the end of the Church?

T.H. Power: Here it is. The reason that Phoenix joined Carpenter was-

That’s why they call me a freak…

As “Freak” cuts T.H. off, Carpenter strides out onto the stage, pulling off his robes. The Metatron, wearing the TKOW Title and carrying the bat, leads out Phoenix, just steps behind him. Carpenter dons his mask and makes a break for the ring. T.H. drops the envelope back into the case and as Carpenter slides in, he nails the lunatic with the mic in the back of the head and starts pummeling him.

Metatron directs Phoenix, telling him to get into the ring and pull Power off Carpenter, but Phoenix won’t move from the ramp, his head directed to the case sitting on the turnbuckles. Metatron throws his hands up and climbs the stairs, stepping into the ring, blesses himself, and clubs Power across the shoulderblades.

Pissing him off.

Power 180’s and rips the bat from Metatron’s hands, his eyes wide, nostrils flaring, and to the crowds delight, aims a shot to teeball the padre’s head clean off. Carpenter, however, has recovered and lowblows Power, causing him to drop the bat. Phoenix slowly steps up the stairs and reaches for the case when Metatron pulls it away, and into the ring. Phoenix’s arm remains out, his open fingers twitching, and slowly curling. As Carpenter mounts Power and begins to pummel him with the brass knucks, Metatron rips open the envelope…

And begins to laugh.

He shows Carpenter the pages within, which sets Carpenter off laughing as well. Carpenter nods in Phoenix’s direction and starts choking Power out. Metatron hands Phoenix the case and takes up the mic.

Metatron: Dear brothers and sisters, you have been led astray by a false prophet, a man that uses deceit, trickery, and gold to bend things as he sees fit. I have reviewed this fools supposed written word, and have seen that it contains no New Testament for our Bible of Pain and Suffering.

And yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Phoenix walks with me.

Carpenter drags Power into the corner opposite Phoenix, who has stepped into the ring. As the papers slip out of his hands, the camera moves in to show that everything was completely blank. Metatron hands the mic to Carpenter and leaves the ring, taking a seat at the announce table.

Carpenter: What were you trying to pull here “boss”. You don’t have the slightest damn clue what’s going on. You trying to spark something in the back of your old pal’s head? He’s MINE now, do you understand?! You have nothing for him, nothing he could EVER want anymore. Only I know why he’s here. Only I know what he wants to know!

Phoenix lets the last piece of paper fall. This one is not only not blank, it’s actually a legal size one-shot movie poster for Desperado. Phoenix turns to the case and raps the front of it in two places…

Carpenter gets up and walks halfway towards Phoenix, then turns and runs full speed at Power, throwing his right leg into T.H.’s bloody face and kicking it through the ropes.

The bottom of the case pops loose, rising upward at an angle on hinges. Phoenix pulls out another envelope and rifles through it.

Carpenter: Aello gave up! Matt gave up! LH gave up! THEY ALL GAVE UP!! Why are you suddenly back on this? What makes you think you can change ANYTHING?? You can’t buy your way out of this big man. THIS IS YOUR CLEANSING!

Behind him, Phoenix is tensing. His right arm, shaking violently, slowly moves upwards to his head, and he rips off the tattered hoodie. His left arm begins to spasm, as does the rest of his upper body, and the envelope drops to the ringmat. His head slowly turns towards the corner, and he pulls off his mask for only the second time. His eyes are wide, full of hate and fire. His mouth is moving, forming indecent words, yet no sound escapes him as he unhooks the manrikigusari from his waist. He methodically wraps his right fist as Carpenter starts screaming at Power. Another camera cuts, close to them both. T.H. is smiling through the blood, and Carpenter is livid about it.

Carpenter: WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SMILE ABOUT?!

T.H. Power: *choking* Chains… snapped… a link…

Carpenter stands and shakes his head, turns-

*CLLLAAAANNNGGGGG*

-and steps straight into a momentum fired right hand from Phoenix that actually flips him inside out.

Tito: WHAT THE HELL?!?

Phoenix screams and turns, drops to the floor and rips Carpenter’s mask off, and starts pounding him mercilessly.

The Metatron, in shock, starts getting in the ring, but Mike Oates is leading a small force to the ring at a full run, and the voice of god chooses instead to leave the ringside area.

Phoenix is now choking Carpenter with both hands, screaming at him, a mix of sadness and rage on his face.

Power is up on his feet, woozy and staggering, but he grabs onto Phoenix and tries in vain to pull him off as two orderlies arrive, straightjacket at the ready. With the help of Mike and a few officers, T.H. manages to coax Phoenix back, and the orderlies jump on Carpenter, his bandaged face soaked through with blood, and tie him down.

Tito: I do not know what's going on folks, but Phoenix has snapped and destroyed his brother and recent partner here in the ring, and right now it seems that the standing freedom order issued by Phoenix for Carpenter has been revoked, or at least ignored, because he's back in custody! We need some answers!

As the adrenaline rage begins to fade, Phoenix simply collapses, beginning to cry, and T.H. grabs hold of him and orders Mike to help take him to the back.

Tito: I am at a loss. Some new development has apparantly been made clear to a select few people, and whatever that development was, it's gotten Phoenix away from his brother and into the care of T.H. Power. I've got word that we have a camera in the back...

The camera cuts to backstage, where Dr Hawke is trying to get T.H. onto a gurney for examination, while eyeing Phoenix from across the room.

Dr Hawke: This can't be a good idea. What's going to happen when Matt and the others find out?

T.H. pauses, staring at the newest bloodsoaked towel in his hands.

T.H. Power: They are SO not my problem right now Doc. There's a lot that none of you are privvy to right now, and I'm sorry, but it had to be that way for his sake. It's, let's call it, family business. He took a big risk getting me just enough information to get me on a track he had been on before this whole mess. I've been working on this for months, but no one, NO ONE, could know. It was the only way. We all had to play this out, for better or for worse.

Dr Hawke: It is definetely worse, and you know it. I don't know what kind of explanation you can give-

T.H. Power: Oh, that's where it gets better Doc. I still can't tell anyone what spurned all this. No one's known in all this time, and that can't change.

Dr Hawke: Well why the hell not?

T.H. takes a look at Phoenix, who has stripped down to a pair of tighty whities and slumped into a chair, his body twitching with the occasional sniffle, his hair covering his face.

T.H. Power: Because, like I said. It's family business. His business. He only found a way to let me know because he couldn't get out alone. He's keeping it all to himself, bottled up inside, because he thinks it's the only way for everyone to stay as safe as possible. But this thing with Carpenter? It's done. It's over. I cut the cord, cauterized the wound, cleaned the mess up. Now? It's time to heal.

Your sister...

Phoenix pounds his fist into the wall to his side. T.H. stares at him, wondering why he suddenly perked up.

T.H. Power: ...Matt...

Phoenix slams his fist into the wall again, harder, leaving a dent. T.H. speaks again, cautiously...

T.H. Power: ...and Aello...

Phoenix roars and puts his fist through the wall.

T.H. Power: ...uhm... they'll just have to trust in the ol Power... Right now, I think we should look him over.

Dr Hawke stands back, letting an assistant gingerly move in and extract Phoenix's hand from the wall as the shot goes to...

***COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Tito: Alright folks, after all the action it's time for the main event, and what a match up it is. Just two weeks after making the most degrading, sexually perverted remarks on Mass Khaos for quite some time, Bob Lancelot is going to face Kaycee Tanner in a most emotionally charged encounter. With Adrian Tanner and Brandon Young at ringside, don't be surprised if this one turns ugly.

Yuri Testkov: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING. IT IS FOR THE TKOW TELEVISION TITLE AND IS A NO COUNT OUT MATCH FOR 1 FALL!! INTRODUCING FIRST... FROM OXFORD, ENGLAND... STANDING 5 FEET, 10 INCHES TALL AND WEIGHING IN AT 230 POUNDS... ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY CLAIRE MATTHEWS... TKOW TELEVISION CHAMPION.... "THE HARDCORE SUPERSTAR"..... BOB LAAAANNCCEEELLLOOOOOOOT!!!!

The lights dim in the arena and "Hardcore" by FEEL blasts through the loud speakers. Bob Lancelot walks through the curtain, wearing black tights with orange ligthening bolts on them and no shirt. Claire Matthews follows Bob out to the ring. She is dressed in one of her promotional "Weapons of Mass Distraction" T-Shirts and a short black skirt.

Tito: While Bob Lancelot is making his way to the ring, I'm waiting for the next and hopefully final trial announcer. I really hope Power went with the invisible mute handicapped guy, which would make for a really good choice.

???: He called in sick, my apologies.

Tito is startled when he sees Dark Schnitzel sitting next to him, wearing a headset.

Tito: What in God's name are you doing here?!

Schnitzel: Well, I was nearby and, in a very sudden urge, I've decided to see how your fear-induced sweaty kisser looks from a very short distance.

Tito: I would rather have Chris Benoit's ghost sit next to me right now than you. Power truly did save the worst for last.

Schnitzel: Quite a charming gesture. Say, why don't we go corpse humping down at the celebrity pet cemetery? If you play nice, I'll let you have first dibs on Lassie's firm behind.

Tito: *disgusted* What kind of a perverted freak are you?!

Schnitzel: Perversion is the theme of this match Tito. I'm just playing along.

Bob slides under the bottom rope and climbs the far right turnbuckle. He then hops of the turnbuckle and awaits his opponent.

Tito: Bob had better enjoy this match as TKOW Television champion because I have a feeling he won't be champ anymore at the end of the show.

"Oasis" by Bennie K hits. Kaycee Tanner walks confidently out on the stage, flanked by Adrian Tanner and Brandon Young, who are trying to talk to Kaycee, but she ignores them. The cheers go through the roof.

Yuri Testkov: THE CHALLENGER, HAILING FROM TUSCON, ARIZONA, STANDING 5 FEET 8 INCHES AND WEIGHING MUCH LESS THAN HER OPPONENT... ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY "THE DEMON FOX" BRANDON YOUNG AND "THE ARIZONA ASSASIN" ADRIAN TANNER, JUNIOR, REPRESENTING TEAM 7... "KATASTROPHIC" KAAAAAYYYYCEEEEEE TAAAANNNNEEEERRRRRRR!!!!

Team 7 make their way down the ramp, fans going wild. "KAY-CEE!" and "TAN-NER!" chants reverberate through the arena as the three make their way to the ring.

Adrian and Brandon glare at Lancelot as they assist Kaycee in the ring, staying between her and Lancelot. Bob watches Kaycee with a sly smile on his face. The ref orders Lancelot back as she enters the ring, and glancing angrily at Bob. Meanwhile, Adrian and Brandon place themselves near Kaycee's corner, giving her words of advice when her music ends.

Tito: *trying to ignore Dark Schnitzel* Remember folks, this is a no count out match, which means that the competitors can stay out of the ring without time restrictions. Keep in mind, though, that all other rules still apply, including disqualification.

Schnitzel: Which means that they can have an orgy that lasts longer than ten seconds, but they can't use a dildo.

Tito: God... I miss Melvyn…

The ref checks the two competitors for weapons, and then calls for the starting bell. At the sound of the bell, Bob slides out of the ring and snatches a mic from Yuri Testkov.

Lancelot: As much as I'd like to get it on with you right now, I think that the crowd here deserves to see a little girl on girl action first.

Bob gets wildly cheered by the male portion of the audience. Brandon keeps Adrian from jumping Bob.

Lancelot: Babe, if you will.

Lancelot motions to Claire, who enters the ring and cranks up her knuckles. Kaycee gives a look of disgust and disbelief at Bob. She tries to watch both of them, suspecting trickery. Kaycee mouths off to Bob, pointing that he's the one she wants to face, not Claire. However, Matthews nears Kaycee.

"Sweet Emotions" by Aerosmith blares through the speakers and T.H power steps out of the curtains with a microphone in hand.

T.H. Power: Hold it, slick shit. Before you hide out like a bitch behind your woman, let me just make clear that if Claire is allowed to wrestle in your place, then I'll let Adrian Tanner, Jr. wrestle in this match as well for Kaycee.

Adrian looks a bit surprised and then grins and starts to climb in the ring.

T.H. Power: Here's the kicker, Lancelot. If Claire gets pinned, you WILL lose your title. In addition to the no count out and so you can't cheat your way to retaining with a DQ, you CAN lose your title on disqualification in this match. Is that clear?

The crowd explodes as Lancelot slides into the ring and unkindly escorts his fiancé out by nearly throwing Claire over the ropes. The ref forces a frustrated Adrian back out onto the apron.

T.H. Power: That's more like it. Oh, and Tito *turns to Tito* Dim Wienie wasn't supposed to be here tonight, but if you two seem to get along... eh... have fun.

Power shudders and gags as he goes back through the curtains.

Tito: I hate my life.

Schnitzel: So do you.

Lancelot and Kaycee circle each other before locking up. Lancelot gets Kaycee in a side headlock and attempts to force her head near his crotch. Kaycee quickly gets out of the hold and sends Bob to the ropes. When he comes back, Kaycee hits him with a snappy dropkick. Kaycee goes for the cover, but Bob quickly kicks out.

Tito: Kaycee may want to get into a hold by Bob, as this guy will turn any hold into a rape attempt.

Schnitzel: Let's not talk about your father's sex life, Tito.

Tito: How dare you?! My father is a fine man!

Schnitzel: Tito, I'm failing to understand what you're saying. Take your father's cock out of your mouth, and say it again.

Tito: You're sick…

Kaycee picks up Bob and gives him a snapmare. She then gives him another dropkick, this time to the back of his head. Kaycee locks her head around Bob neck, and begins to choke him out. The ref begins the count, and Kaycee let's go at four. Kaycee then drops a leg across Bob's neck. Kaycee locks a sleeper hold on Lancelot, and regrets it as soon as Bob bites one of her arms. Kaycee holds her bitten arm in pain as Bob surprises her with a roll up.

1...

2...

A quick kick out.

Tito: Bob Lancelot will stop at nothing to degrade and humiliate the Tanner family.

Schnitzel: He's being uncharacteristically wise.

Tito: How's that?

Schnitzel: If you continuously treat something like a piece of meat, it will eventually perceive itself as such.

Tito: He's not going to make her think she's a piece of meat during the course of one match!

Schnitzel: The human brain can break as easily as your pecker under bad weather. Soon she'll be humping him willingly, with Adrian Tanner blowing the trumpet of death out of his rectum.

Tito: The Tanners would never do that! Why do you have to be so sickening?!

Schnitzel: Why do you have to be so human?

Bob picks Kaycee up and gives her a snap suplex. He picks her up again, and hits a fisherman suplex. He lands an elbow on Kaycee's chest. Bob takes his time getting up and then lands another elbow. Bob stays down and then attempts to grope Kaycee's breasts, but she manages to kick him the head and roll away. Kaycee quickly gets up and lands a few harsh kick to Bob's sides and then another to the head. She then trips him and lands another leg drop across his neck. She goes for the cover as Adrian and Brandon cheer her on.

1...

2...

3-

Kickout!

Tito: Adrian Tanner has been showing surprising and even awe inspiring self control so far.

Schnitzel: Tanner wants what he hasn't been able to receive last show, which, according to well esteemed reports, is the TV title. If Kaycee wins it tonight, however, he'll be able to wrestle her for it in the bedroom. That's too much for him to pass out on. All that is needed is a mannequin, a coffin, and an enema to make this the new Katie Vick.

Tito: *turning a bit green* You really are sick...

Kaycee picks up Lancelot and whips him to the ropes. Lancelot manages to stop himself while facing the ropes and, while he is leaning on them, Kaycee jumps over the ropes, grabs Bob's head in midair, and gives him a neck breaker on the top rope. Bob is thrust back from the impact while Kaycee lands on her feet outside of the ring, where she is met with a nasty spear by Claire. Claire then slaps Kaycee around and holds her up for Lancelot. Bob recovers and jumps over the top rope with a body press. Unfortunately, Claire doesn't manage to avoid it and so he hits them both.

Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

Tito: Claire was too slow, and so she got also hit by Lancelot's body press.

Schnitzel: Remember fiends, no dildos.

Tito: If one normal sentence comes out of your mouth tonight, I'll pay you. I really will.

Schnitzel: Deep down inside, T.H Power has tender feelings for you.

Tito: You're not even trying!!!

Brandon and Adrian go to check on Kaycee, but they only find Claire lying on the floor. Lancelot and Kaycee Tanner have somehow disappeared. They quickly search around the ring and then flip up the apron to try to see underneath the ring. A loud cry is heard, and then a yelp. Lancelot is then seen rolling out from underneath the ring, holding his family jewels in pain. Kaycee shortly follows while crying out "You Bastard!" She then pulls him up and throws him under the ropes, back into the ring.

Tito: Did Lancelot just attempt to rape Kaycee Tanner underneath the ring?!

Schnitzel: Don't be foolish Tito, indeed he has.

Tito: Aren't you contradicting yourself?

Schnitzel: Aye, fiercer things than I have died trying. That's why I'm so splendid.

Tito: You have nothing to say, do you?

Schnitzel: I have everything in the world to say, Tito, but has it ever crossed your mind that you're not smart enough to listen?

Tito: If I weren't smart, I wouldn't be having problems understanding your sick remarks.

Back in the ring, Kaycee locks in a Buffalo Sleeper on Lancelot, who begins to make suffocation sounds. The ref checks up on him, and starts the count when he sees the Kaycee's hold is too tight. Kaycee loosens the hold when the count reaches 4, and accidentally allows Lancelot to power out of the hold. Bob hits a back suplex. He starts to pick her up, but then stops and begins to feel his neck.

Tito: Bob is starting to feel the effects of Kaycee's assault. I wonder if that makes him want to have sex with her less.

Schnitzel: Nay, it will encourage him to give her brother the Edward 2 treatment, though. At least, that is what I would do.

Tito: What's the Edward 2 treatment?

Schnitzel: Oh, wouldn't you love to know.

Tito: Well you've piqued my curiosity, so yes, I would like to know.

Schnitzel: Edward The Second, son of Edward the Conqueror, and monarch of England between the years 1307-1327. His era was plagued with political unrest…

Tito: *bored* Go on…

Lancelot shrugs off the pain and gets a hold of Kaycee. He lifts her up for a powerbomb, but Kaycee counters it into a hurricanarana that sends him flying onto the ropes. Kaycee charges at Bob with a clothesline. He ducks and pulls down the top rope, which sends her flying over it and out of the ring. Bob tries to go out of the ring, but Adrian and Brandon rush to protect Kaycee and prevent him from doing so.

Tito: Kaycee just fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book, as her inexperience takes it's toll. It's a good thing her teammates came to her aid, who knows when Bob might try to get her under the ring again.

Schnitzel continues to talk about Edward II, not realizing his microphone has been silenced.

Brandon helps Kaycee up, while Adrian wards off Lancelot. Brandon gives some tips to the aggravated Kaycee. Waiting impatiently, Lancelot shouts off.

Lancelot: Hey Kaycee, baby, get your ass back here so I can roughen it up just like you like it!

Kaycee tries to storm back into the ring, but is stopped by her brother. Adrian nearly begs Kaycee to let him pound a few fists into Bob for her, but she angrily refuses. Bob is fed up and uses their state of distraction to do a suicide dive on all three.

Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy shit!

Tito: Lancelot has run out of patience, and in one fell swoop took out all three members of Team 7!

Schnitzel is still talking...

Ringside, Lancelot is the first to get up, even though the dive seems to have done more damage to his neck. He picks up Kaycee and lifts her over his head. He then drops her on the security barrier. Bob doesn't give Kaycee time to react, as he throws her back into the ring. Lancelot stalks Kaycee until she gets up and gives her a European Uppercut when she does. Bob then kicks Kaycee in the stomach and gives her a DDT. Lancelot turns Kaycee on her stomach and attempts a Visagra, but Kaycee rolls out of the way. Bob roughly picks Kaycee up and lifts her up for a stalling suplex. With her in the air, Bob attempts to move the hand that is grabbing her waist a little "South of the border". Kaycee notices this and begins to kick and scream, which causes Bob to lose his balance and drop her awkwardly on her head.

Tito: Ouch! I think Kaycee should have stayed still that time.

Schnitzel is still going on...

Adrian tries to enter the ring, but the ref prevents him from doing so. The two competitors aren't getting up, so the ref starts the count.

Crowd: *chanting* KAY-CEE! KAY-CEE! KAY-CEE!

1...

2...

Bob seems to react.

3...

4...

Tito: The crowd is completely behind Kaycee at this point, trying to get her to rouse up!

Bob is trying to get back to his feet, Kaycee still isn't responding.

5…

Bob manages to get up. He looks down at Kaycee and playfully kicks her in the head to see if she responds. When she doesn't, he turns to look at her brother. Lancelot smiles and then starts a heated word exchange with Adrian and Young, miming what he's going to do to Kaycee. Adrian gets on the apron while Claire, who is apparently recovered and fine now, runs up to him and drags him off of it. Meanwhile, Kaycee surprises Bob with a school boy.

1...

2...

3...

Kickout!

Tito: Kaycee played dead and managed to trick the more experienced Lancelot, which almost gave her the win!

Dark Schnitzel's mic cuts back in.

Schnitzel: On 27 October, the elder Despenser was accused of encouraging the illegal government of his son, enriching himself at the expense of others, despoiling the church, and taking part in the illegal execution of the Earl of Lancaste-

Tito: *interrupting* Schnitzel, I think that the viewers at home and I would appreciate it if you would GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!

Schnitzel: I was about to get said point. Popular rumors, that probably sprouted due to the hated nature of Edward's reign, claimed that he was homosexual. So, when the Parliament overthrew him, quite gingerly if I may add, and had him imprisoned in Berkeley Castle, which is located in Gloucestershire, they decided to end his life in a way they saw fitting for his kind.

Tito: And this is the Edward II treatment I presume.

Schnitzel: Oh yes. On the night of the October 11th 1927, while lying in on a bed, Edward was suddenly seized and, while a great mattress weighed him down and suffocated him, a plumber's iron, heated intensely hot, was introduced through a tube into his secret parts so that it burned the inner portions beyond the intestines.

Tito: You told me all this shit just for that?!

Schnitzel: Of course.

Tito: Why did I ask?

Back in the ring, Kaycee and Bob are up and are battling it out. Kaycee sends two kicks to Bob's sides, Bob avoids the third one and goes for a superkick on Kaycee. Kaycee ducks though, and hits Bob with an Enziguri, which brings Bob to one knee. Kaycee goes for Kaytanna (Shining Black), but Bob rolls away in the nick of time and proceeds to kick Kaycee between the legs as Claire distracts the ref. Adrian and Brandon start yelling and try to get in the ring, distracting the ref even more.

Tito: Bob just low blowed Kaycee and because of Claire, the ref didn't see! Kaycee would have had the title right then!

Schnitzel: Dream of Jeannie.

Schnitzel punches Tito and knocks him out cold. Adrian realizes they're just hurting Kaycee by arguing, so he and Brandon step out and drop off the apron.

Schnitzel: Well, it looks like Bob Lancelot just hit Kaycee Tanner bellow the belt. The referee probably won't disqualify him because Kaycee has no balls, but in my opinion it hurts just the same!

Kaycee grabs her loins in underappreciated agony as Bob kicks her in the stomach and gets her in position for the Swinging Bells, when Adrian Tanner suddenly calls out to him. Adrian is holding Claire in a dragon sleeper.

Adrian Tanner: *shouting* I won't do anything if you won't.

Bob hesitates just long enough for Kaycee to writhe out of his hold. Bob immediately goes for a Russian leg sweep. Before he can follow up, Kaycee rolls away and to her feet. Bob comes at her, but she drops him with a snapmare, followed by a kick to the head as he goes down.

Crowd: *chanting* KAY-CEE! KAY-CEE! KAY-CEE!

Tito: *rousing up* Wha...?

As Lancelot climbs to his feet, Kaycee drops him again with a springboard dropkick to his chest, causing him to stumble backward a few steps and then fall backward into the corner turnbuckle and hit the back of his head on the top turnbuckle pad. Meanwhile, seeing Kaycee take control, Adrian throws Claire away from him, toward the barrier, where she falls over it into the front row headfirst.

Tito: Kaycee's getting the upper hand!

Schnitzel: Bob likes it rough. She's only turning him on.

Lancelot pulls himself up, slightly dazed, but still conscious enough to remember what he's doing. He pushes himself out of the corner after Kaycee. he goes for a thumb to her eyes, but she blocks it by grabbing his arm and twisting into an armbar, leading him around in a circle as he tries to get out of it. She whips him into the turnbuckle again. He comes back out of the corner and this time catches her in an armbar. He reaches around with his free hand to grope one of her breasts. She headbutts him at the same time trying to catch that arm in a hard elbow. She manages to put a bit of distance between them, even though Bob retains the armbar. Bob makes a remark that at first infuriates Kaycee, but then she smiles.

Schnitzel: Why is she smiling? Ah... Bob finally has turned her to his side. See, Tito. I told you if you tell someone they're meat long enough, they'll believe it.

Tito: I won't believe that, Schnitzel. She's a Tanner!

Kaycee pulls away from Bob, even though he still has hold of her wrist for the armbar. She suddenly does a roll, regaining her feet and reversing the armbar. She runs Bob into the turnbuckle, then pushes him out, facing away. She climbs the turnbuckle and jumps and grabs Bob's head bringing him down almost in a flipping diamond cutter type move. Adrian and Brandon cheer Kaycee on.

Tito: BACK TO THE FUTURE! You were WRONG, Schnitzel! C'mon Kaycee, finish him off!

Claire finally makes it back over the barrier, kicking a few of the men who were trying to grope her.

Kaycee grabs one of Bob's legs, drops down on it and locks it with her own. She rolls over so that shes sitting up with his legs locked, then reaches forward and grabs him in a full nelson, pulling back for all she's worth.

Tito: She's going to make him tap out! Humiliation for humiliation!

Schnitzel: It looks like divine intervention is the only way Bob Lancelot won't get his ass kicked. *a moment's pause* God had his chance.

Schnitzel takes of the headset and grabs a nearby chair.

Tito: Hurry up, Kaycee!

The ref drops to ask Bob if wants to give up. Lancelot screams a "NO!" Kaycee pulls back just a bit more...

Tito: That's got to be hurting Bob's injured neck. I don't think he's going to last much longer.

Brandon sees Claire trying to get in the ring. He hops in the ring in Kaycee's corner and makes a running dive at her through the ropes, taking her back to the floor! Meanwhile, Dark Schnitzel has reached the apron and begins to climb in. The ref moves to keep him out just as Bob taps. Kaycee starts to release, but Adrian yells for her to hold it as he enters the ring. Kaycee pulls back on the submission again. The ref turns to find Adrian in the ring, but Adrian shoves him to the side and goes after Dark Schnitzel, who swings the chair at Tanner, who ducks and shoves Schnitzel off the apron, afterwards climbing the ropes and diving after him off the top one.

Kaycee yells for the ref. He spins around and drops back down to check on Bob, who is once again screaming... and finally taps out!

The ref calls for the bell and helps Kaycee to her feet, holding up her arm. The crowd goes wild with cheers.

Yuri Testkov: Tito: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH AND NEEEEEEEEWWWWW TKOW TELEVISION CHAMPIOOOOONNNNN... "KATASTROPHIC" KAAAAAYYYYCCCEEEEEEE TAAAAAAANNNNEEERRRRRRR!!!

"Oasis" by Bennie K hits. Security runs down the ramp to ringside to separate Dark Schnitzel, Adrian Tanner, and Brandon Young, who are slugging it out on the floor. Claire climbs in the ring to check on Bob. She immediately goes after Kaycee, who sees her on the 'tron. Kaycee snapmares her and follows with a kick to her head. Claire lands in a tangle in the ropes. Kaycee drags a struggling Bob next to her, then turns back to the ref, brushing her hair from her face. The ref brings the TV title and puts it around Kaycee's waist. Adrian and Brandon are allowed in the ring as Bob and Claire roll out, making threatening gestures at Team 7. As Adrian and Brandon lift Kaycee to their shoulders, they gesture to Lancelot, making a bit of fun at him, Adrian pointing at the TV title around Kaycee's waist.

Tito: After all this time, TKOW has a NEW Television Champion! Kaycee Tanner has regained her honor AND taken the TV title away from the long-reigning Bob Lancelot!

Bob tries to climb back in the ring along with Dark Schnitzel, who has broken loose from the security team. Matt Griffen, Lady Hawke and Trine run down the ramp. Hawke slides into the ring between Team 7 and Lancelot and Schnitzel, gesturing for them to come right on in. With Schnitzel distracted by Lady Hawke, Griffen pulls him away from the ring and the two come to blows as two of security attempt to restrain Dark Schnitzel. Trine grabs Bob and gets in him a restraining hold with help from one of the security men. Claire backs up in fright as Lady Hawke slides out toward her.

Tito: What a night it's been! To recap, New Era has been pushed back until August 5th. There will be a call back for the final cut of announcers in 2 weeks at the additional Mass Khaos! The Boss officially has declared New Era's invitational as the "Six-Shooter" Ironman Invitational! TKOW has signed three new stars! Power and Cypher fought to a draw, with a bit of interference!

The scene cuts back to the ring where Team 7 is still celebrating in the midst of red, white and blue streamers and confetti falling on them while more patriotic pyros go off in the arena.
