[The fireworks explode through the rafters and on the ramp. The fans are cheering as the TNT theme song plays in the background. The scene cuts to the announcers table]

Thomas Simon: Welcome to Thursday Night Takedown! We have one hell of a card here for you tonight.

Bob Herman: we sure do. We are only seven days away from Road 2 Glory on pay per view!

Thomas Simon: It doesn't get any bigger than that Bobby! Let's kick it off!

Match 1: Street Fight

[Music for Freak Like Me blares across the speakers fans begin cheering loudly as the Chant "Beat-U" kicks in as the words appear on the Titantron. Gabe walks out onto the stage smiling and nodding to the crowd.]

Honey Winters: The following contest is a street fight!! Introducing first, from Nashville, Tennessee weighing in at 235 lbs... GABRIELL... GRRRRRIFFFINNNN!!!!

[Gabriel begins jogging to the ring high fiving fans. Gabriel slides into the ring through the bottom rope. Circling the ring he acknowledges the crowd. Ending in the center Gabriel Flexes into a pose as the ring corners launch blue pyrotechniques into the air with a pop.]

[The entire arena goes dark as "Good day to Die" by Godsmack plays out. Dark red and white lights flash on the darkened stage in time to the song's intro and as soon as it ends the lights dim down during the song's brief silence. Then the arena is flooded in maroon lighting as the music starts again. Crow slowly steps out from behind the curtain with his long hair hanging in his face. He walks to the edge of the stage and looks around before marching down the ramp to the music's off-beat.

He pulls himself up onto the apron and then mounts the outside oft he turnbuckles, flipping his head back and his hair out of his face dramatically. He glares around before jumping into the ring.]

Honey Winters: "Weigh....."

[Before she can make an introduction, Crow grabs Honey's microphone and nonchalantly tosses it out of the ring. He then walks to the corner and sits down with one leg straight out, one with the knees raised and both arms resting on the bottom ropes.]

DING DING DING

Thomas Simon: Here we go... One of the #1 Contenders for the MPW X-core Championship next week at Road 2 Glory vs. a friend of the man who will be competing later tonight for the final spot... What a match this will be.

Bob Herman: I'm excited for this. This night will be huge.

[The two lock up, looking for an advantage in strength, struggling. Gabriel takes it this time and lifts Crow off of his feet and to the ground with a take down. He stays down there and squeezes him into a waist lock.]

Thomas Simon: There's this kid's mat skills. So effective.

[Crow uses his strength to get to his feet. He spreads Gabe's arms apart, releasing the hold. Crow puts Gabe on his shoulders and falls back immediately and connects with a Samoan Drop. He immediately stands up and leaves the ring to grab a chair. Gabriel starts to move a bit. He rolls out of the ring and to the floor outside. Crow finds a chair and then hits Gabriel on the back with it. Gabriel screams out in pain as Crow drops the chair to the side. He picks Gabriel up and throws him into the barricade. He collapses and stays down. Crow moves the hair out of his face.]

Bob Herman: Crow is pumped right now!!!!

[He takes Gabriel and rolls him into the ring. He pins him.]

1...2... Kick out.

[Crow stands immediately and picks Gabriel up. But suddenly, he fights back. He gains control and throws Crow outside the ring. He immediately follows and picks him up. He throws him into the crowd. Gabriel follows in hot pursuit of Crow. They begin trucking up the stairs of the arena where Gabriel begins to clobber on the back of his opponent. Crow is on one knee now in the stands. He receives a kick in the side and falls down. Gabriel takes a fan's water and pours it on himself and takes a sip. He takes Crow by the hair and spits it out in his face and hits him in the face with the bottle. This sends Crow down a couple steps.]

Thomas Simon: This is a war!! My god!!

Bob Herman: What a match!!

[The crowd pops as Gabriel picks Crow up and puts him on his shoulders. He carries him down the steps and by the barricade. He puts him down and slams his face into the barricade. Crow now has a cut on his forehead.]

Bob Herman: Crow has been busted open!!

Thomas Simon: What a shot!!

[Gabriel realizes it and smiles. He picks him up and throws him into the ringside area. Gabe stands on the top of the barricade and jumps and clotheslines Crow down. He stands up and flexes and screams. His face turns red.]

Thomas Simon: This kid is pumped up!!

[Gabe walks to ringside and takes out a table. He places it in the ring and sets it up. Crow is beginning to stand, his forehead gushing blood for the time being. Gabe exits the ring and walks towards Crow who catches him with the "Murder". Both men now lay lifeless on the outside.]

Thomas Simon: What a move by Crow!!!

Bob Herman: Now what's gonna happen!?!?!

[Both men begin to move after a couple of moments of the crowd popping. Crow is the first to his feet. He rolls into the ring. Gabe stands up now, he rolls himself into the ring. Both men stand at the same time and watch each other for a moment. Then they charge and begin the "yay" and "boo" spaghetti shots. Suddenly, after Crow hits a shot, Gabe picks him up and spinebusters him through the table out of nowhere and pins him.]

1...2...3!!!!

DING DING DING

Honey Winters: Here is your winner... GABRIEL.... GRRRRRIFFIN!!!!!!!

["Freak Like Me" plays from the PA as his hand is raised in the air. The smile on his face tells the story.]

Thomas Simon: What action!

Bob Herman: You've got that right.

Thomas Simon: That came out of nowhere!!!

[The scene fades as we see Gabriel's smiling face on the ramp.]

[Backstage Ian Andrews is standing with Tim Bowers in front of the TNT backdrop. Ian smirks and looks down at Tim]

Tim Bowers: Ladies and Gentlemen I am standing backstage with THE Ian Andrews. Ian you have recently joined the New Generation Superstars. A fearless group of young men who are trying to make a statement here in MPW. Ian...

Ian Andrews: I know who they are Tim. You are correct we are trying to make a statement and we will. We are over looked and over shadowed and this is the end of that. Tonight I will team with my New Generation teammates Rye Payne and Aaron Cruz. Andre Dixon isn't a bad teammate either. We are going to show the tamagachi twins that the New Generation Superstars aren't messing around. And Real Steele.. pff. What a joke

[Tim Bowers goes to speak but another language is heard yelling from the left side of the screen. Taufik walks in to the frame and stares eat Ian Andrews]

Taufik: You have bigger things to worry about Ian. I gave you a fair shot but you fails. So tell your band of goons to hold off on their so called take over because at Roat 2 Glory, you have to beat me first.

Ian Andrews: I am not afraid of you. I stood up to you before and I will do it again. You are no longer my boss and you can't tell me what to do. Next week I will wipe the floor with you and send you on the first flight back to Singapore.

Taufik: AH na nana Click click click alalalalalla

[Taufik yells in his language and then slaps Ian. He walks out of the screen as Ian holds his face]

Thomas Simon: That is only one of the matches that I look forward to next week at Road 2 Glory

Bob Herman: It's teacher verse student next week and it seems like Ian Andrews has a new found attitude

Thomas Simon: Like I said just one of the matches on this stacked card! Up next Kuk Killswitch will go one on one against The Only One, Rage.

Match 2

[Cryin' Like A Bitch" by Godsmack blares throughout the arena. Smoke begins to fill the entrance way as the heavy guitar riff kicks in and Rage slowly walks out on to the stage wearing his signature black boots and charcoal grey trunk with "The Only One" written on the back.]

Honey Winters: The following contest is set for one fall... Introducing first... From Toronto, Ontario, Canada... Weighing in at 275 lbs... "The Only One"... RAGE!!!!!!!

[He slowly walks down the ramp as the fans boo at his every step. Rage stops at the ring apron and looks at his opponent. He smirks at his opponent then walks over to the ring steps. He climbs up the steps and goes through the ropes into the ring. He climbs onto the turnbuckle and raises one arm in the air in predetermined victory.]

["Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad" By Blessthefall begins to play and the lights turn blood red. After the intro the lights begin to violently strobe to the beat. Kuk Killswitch comes out from the back in his usual entrance attire and his Championship in his right hand. He walks to the edge of the ramp and finishes his tape and then pounds his fist to make sure it's tight. He then holds up his Championship high in the air. Kuk begins to walk down the ramp, ignoring the fans and focusing on the match.]

Honey Winters: Weighing in tonight at 200 pounds, hailing from Ozone park, New York, he is the MPW X-core Champion, The Hardcore Reject, KUKK KIIILLSSSSWWIIITCCCHHHH!!!!!

[Kuk is now at the end of the ramp and he bounces back and forth between one leg and the other. He stops and slides into the ring. Kuk stands up and holds his title in the air again before taking off his jacket and placing it ringside along with his belt. He then paces back and forth, waiting for the match to begin.]

DING DING DING

Thomas Simon: And this match is officially underway! Well, this is gonna be huge.

Bob Herman: Two very conflicting styles in this match... Should be a good one!!!

[They lock up. Rage is the first to strike when he slaps on a head lock. Wrenching the neck and head. He is pushed to the ropes to try and break the hold by Kuk, but to no avail. Rage's strength is too much for Kuk to break. Kuk's head is beginning to turn red. Suddenly, with a burst of strength, Kuk picks Rage up and slams him down on his knee. Atomic Drop. Rage holds his tailbone and yells out. Once he turns around, a flying elbow catches him in his jaw. Then, another once he stands. And finally, when he stands up again, immediately... A clothesline. Kuk is pumped. The crowd pops with boos.]

Thomas Simon: These people really hate our MPW X-core Champ... Don't they?

Bob Herman: I don't see why!!!

[Kuk begins to stomp on the back of Rage. Each stomp harder then the last. Rage yells out in pain. Kuk then puts his knee into his back and wraps his hands around Rage's neck and pulls back, working on the back. Rage is in extreme pain, and you can see it.]

Bob Herman: C'mon Kuk, make the old man tap!!!

Thomas Simon: He's just as old, Bobo...

[Rage uses his strength to stand up. He pulls Kuk over his shoulder into an arm drag. Kuk stands immediately. Then is caught with a knee to the face. Rage goes for the cover.]

1... Kick out.

Thomas Simon: Gotta do a lot more than that!

Bob Herman: Yeah, especially to keep our X-core Champion down!!

[Rage then drives his knee into the gut of Kuk. Then again, and again, and once more. Kuk begins to cough. Rage picks him up and sets him up for a Gutbuster and connects. Killswitch, in extreme pain, screams out. Rage picks him up and places him on the ropes and wraps his arms up in the top two. He begins to strike the midsection. The ref pulls him away but, after waiting a few moments, Rage is back on the attack. Lefts and rights straight into the injured part of the midsection. Now, Killswitch begins to bleed from the mouth. He looks lifeless.]

Bob Herman: What's going on with the champ!?!

Thomas Simon: He looks almost dead!!!

[The ref finally pulls Kuk free from the ropes and pulls Rage away. Kuk is face down on the mat. He is almost unconscious. Rage covers.]

1...2... Kick out.

Thomas Simon: WHAT!?

Bob Herman: There is no quit in our champ!!!

Thomas Simon: That was pure instinct!!!

[Rage is in disbelief. He picks Kuk up and throws him across the ring with a hip toss. He then picks him up again, but this time on his shoulders. Suddenly, Kuk has some fight and wiggles out. He pushes Rage into the referee. The referee falls down hard and same with Rage. Kuk then rolls out of the ring and picks up a chair. He comes back in the ring and puts the chair on Rage's left ankle and closes it. He then climbs to the top rope and jumps and stomps on the chair, cracking the ankle. Rage screams in pain.]

Thomas Simon: This is ridiculous!!! You can't use a chair!!

Bob Herman: He can!! Look!! Haha!!! This is so fun to watch!!

[Kuk slides the chair out of the ring and then pins Rage. But there is no ref. He becomes pissed and stands up. He looks out to the crowd who laugh at him and boo. He takes a couple moments to soak it in. He then tries to wake the ref up. Once he does, Rage is somewhat able to move and muster up strength. He rolls Kuk up once the ref is okay.]

1...2... Kick out.

Thomas Simon: How is he moving!?

Bob Herman: That's cheap!!!

[Kuk stands immediately and Rage uses the ropes, but still does the same. They look at each other for a moment. They charge and both connect with huge clotheslines and send each other down to the floor.]

Thomas Simon: My god, my god!!!

Bob Herman: Kuk is bleeding from the mouth and still continuing!!

Thomas Simon: Rage may have a broken and ankle and is still going!!!

[The ref begins to count.]

1...
No one moves.
2...
Still no one.
3...
No one.
4...
Kuk begins to move and holds on to the ropes for leverage.
5...
Rage begins to do the same.
6...
Kuk is almost up.
7...
Rage doesn't look like he'll make it.
8...
Kuk is almost there.
9...
Kuk makes it up in time.

[Kuk looks to Rage. He walks slowly over to him. He grabs Rage's head and points it up to him so he can say something.]

Kuk: I'M GONNA MAKE YOU RETIRE YOU WASH-UP!!!! YOU'RE SHIT!!!!! SHIT!!!!!

[Rage spits in his Kuk's face. Kuk moves back and looks to Rage with extreme anger. Killswitch charges and hits the KOK. He covers.]

1...2...3!!!

DING DING DING

Honey Winters: Here is your winner... Kuk Killswitch!!!!!

Thomas Simon: What an intense match!!!

Bob Herman: You got that right, Tommy!!! What a win for the champ!!!

[Kuk raises his hand up and the camera fades to black on his bloody, smiling face.]

[Backstage Johnny Clash and Laura are watching the monitor laughing]

Johnny Clash: the old man has lost it. He rips the X division but can't even beat the Champion. This is a sign of what is to come next week

Laura Tavares: I can't wait for that match. You are going to destroy him babe.

Johnny Clash: Oh I know I am. And later I have a little surprise for everyone.

Laura Tavares: What kinda surprise?

[Johnny gets up and closes the door on the cameras face]

Johnny Clash: Will you guys give us some privacy please.

[The scene fades]

Match 3

[Crashing Around You hits the PA and the lights go out a countdown on the screen appears and when the countdown hits 0 the lights then come one as Can't stop the person you've become is uttered and Nathan James appears at the top of the ramp and pauses before walking at a reasonable pace towards the ring.]

Honey Winters: Making his way to the ring, from London England, Nathan James!

[ Dressed in long black pants, black boots and long black coat. Once in the ring he he mounts the bottom rope and raises a fist on each side as he acknowledges the fans. "Light up the Sky" by Thousand Foot Krunch plays and Chris Cable to the boos of the fans makes his way to the stage doing a 360 degree turn following to strike the air with his elbow. Cable reaches the ring and stands in the middle doing the same 360 turn followed by showing his elbow, this time through red fireworks fly off in the corners.]

Thomas Simon: Here we go!

[The Referee calls for the bell and the match is official. Cable walks over to him and motions for him to check Nathan James for weapons.]

Thomas Simon: Cable is demanding The ref search Nathan.

Bob Herman: Hey, Nathan is a notorious rule breaker. And downright evil person. I once saw him drown a sack of puppies.

Thomas Simon: That is ridiculous.

Bob Herman: I'm telling ya.

[So, Mitch walks over to Nathan and does a quick pat down. Then his boots. Cable shakes his head in approval, and claps a few times before testing out the ropes, using them to stretch. He and Nathan circle one another a couple of time before Nathan attempts to lock up, but Cable backs away, holding his hands in the air. The crowd boos.]

Thomas Simon: And Cable is a little reluctant to get this one underway.

Bob Herman: Hey, he's a brave man for stepping into the ring.

Thomas Simon: Or he's just afraid.

[Once again the two circle, and Nathan once again goes in for a lock up, but again Cable backs away. Nathan follows Cable back into a corner, where Cable ducks between the middle and top rope, forcing The referee to stop Nathan for advancing. More boos.]

Thomas Simon: Okay, this is getting stupid.

Bob Herman: I told you, Cable's not ready yet.

[Cable motions for Kennedy to move Nathan back, Cable re-enters the ring and again uses the ring ropes to stretch himself out. Then he begins doing some squats. ]

Thomas Simon: Oh, come on.

Bob Herman: He? warming up, Kelly.

Thomas Simon: He had all damn day to warm up!

[After about 5, Cable stops. Cable slaps his arms and motions he is ready. Nathan again comes in for a lock up but Cable slaps him in the face! The crowd "OH's" at the impact.]

Thomas Simon: What a cheap shot!

Bob Herman: That? right Cable! Smack him around.

[Angered, Nathan advances and again Cable ducks through the ropes, forcing the referee to move Nathan back. Nathan argues with him about the slap. Cable re-enters the ring, smirking all the way. Cable and Nathan circle again, this time Nathan has a hurried pace. He once again goes for a lock up, and this time Cable obliges. Slightly larger, Cable pushes Nathan back about a half step out of the lockup. Cable then throws his arms in the air in victory. More boos.]

Thomas Simon: What was that?

Bob Herman: Did you see Cable just out-muscle Nathan Everyman right there? Cable obviously been hitting the gym!

Thomas Simon: Nathan moved like half an inch.

Bob Herman: Pfft. I? like to see Nathan do that to Cable.

[Cable's still got a cocky smile on his face when he spins around back to Nathan. Nathan is looking at the ref is disbelief about Cable, and obviously is starting to lose his patience. He rubs his chin and the two begin to circle again. Again they lock up and Nathan overpowers Cable and drives him back to the corner. Kennedy has to come in and separate the two, which Nathan gives a clean break. Kennedy backs Nathan up, and turns back to Cable who has just SPIT at Nathan James.]

Thomas Simon: That's disgusting.

Thomas Simon: There was no call for that.

[Angered again, Nathan advances, and Cable once again ducks in between the ropes. Only this time, Kennedy stops Nathan for a moment, then lets him continue to attack Cable!]

Bob Herman: What the hell is that ref doing!?

Thomas Simon: Obviously he's had enough to Cable's shenanigans.

[ Nathan is all over Cable in the corner with right hands, fists and kicks. Cable slumps down in the corner from the beating. Nathan wastes no time pulling him up and unleashing a VICIOUS chop to Cable's chest. Cable screams in pain as the crowds cheers the echo. A second chop sounds just a loud and Cable crumples to the mat clutching his chest in the fetal position. Nathan begins walking toward Cable, who is scrambling to create distance. Cable scrambles to his knees and offers a handshake to Nathan. The crowd erupts into boos.]

Thomas Simon: After all that He wants to shake hands?

Bob Herman: Cable is an amazing sportsman.

[ Nathan plays along and let? Cable to his feet. They shake and Cable goes to leave the ring but Nathan pulls him back and drops Cable with a punch to the face!]

Bob Herman: That dirty, no-good, lousy, low-life!

Thomas Simon: Turnabout is fair play.

[ Cable gets up, enraged. He swings with a wild right hand, which Nathan casually ducks. Cable's swing makes him do a 360, when he gets back around Nathan punches him again. Cable staggers around like a drunk, and Nathan just clotheslines him to the mat. Cable bumbles around, trying to get up, and ends up falling face-first into a top turnbuckle. Nathan moves in, grabs Cable by the arm and whips him across the ring to the opposite buckle. Cable does a front flip into the corner itself from the strength of Nathan. ]

Thomas Simon: What velocity.

Bob Herman: Oh no!

[ Cable gets up woozy, stumbling around. He backs up against the ropes, only to get clotheslined over them by Nathan. The crowd pops as Cable hits the floor. ]

Thomas Simon: What a clothesline by Nathan!

Bob Herman: This is unfair. Did you see those closed fists? The utter disregard for Cable's well being? Nathan Everyman should be arrested.

Thomas Simon: Shut up Willy.

[ Cable stumbles to his feet on the outside as the ref begins to count him out. Cable signals to him for a timeout, which the ref ignores and continues to count. Cable displays the hand gesture again, to which Kennedy again ignores. Once at 7, Cable turns his back and begins yelling at some of the fans at ringside, challenging them to a fight. Nathan however, breaks the count by rolling outside the ring and grabbing Cable from behind and throwing him into the ring. Nathan re-enters, but it has given Cable enough time to throw a low dropkick to Nathan? left knee. ]

Bob Herman: Oh! You see that? That? so smart. Cable is a genius.

Thomas Simon: It was a sucker shot.

Bob Herman: Exactly.

[ Nathan clutches his knee as Cable goes to town kicking at his knee. Eventually Nathan goes down and Cable continues to stomp the knee. Nathan attempts to stand as the Kennedy backs Cable away, but as soon as he's up, Cable chop blocks him down to the mat again. Cable smirks as he pins Nathan 1..kickout. Cable complains about the count, but the ref ignores him. Cable gets back to his feet as Nathan crawls to a corner to create some distance. He uses the ropes to get up, but Cable is right back on the knee. ]

Thomas Simon: This is sound strategy by Chris Cable.

Bob Herman: He's gonna tie Nathan in so many knots, they'll need the boy scouts to get him back to normal.

[Cable grabs Nathan? leg and drapes it over the middle rope, only to start kicking him just as quickly. After 5 hard kicks. Cable grabs the leg again and pulls Nathan out of the corner. Nathan is hopping on one foot, taking swipes at Cable but cannot reach him. Cable drives a forearm into Nathan's leg, causing him to yell in pain. Cable smirks and turns his head away from Nathan to taunt the audience, and pays for it courtesy of a Nathan James enzuguri!]

Thomas Simon: Nice counter by Nathan!

Bob Herman: It's? okay. It's okay.

[ Cable is face down on the mat, seemingly out of it. Nathan slowly crawls over to Cable, and manages to roll him over and drape an arm over him. 1...2...kickout by Cable. Nathan hobbles to his feet as Cable stumbles up. Cable rushes Nathan going for a clothesline, and Nathan ducks. Nathan then grabs Cable's head and plants him on the mat with a reverse DDT. Nathan gets more body on body, staying on top for the pin. 1..2..kickout. Nathan slowly gets up using the ropes, and shows a major limp pulling Cable the rest of the way up. Nathan shoots some forearms to Cable's head, rocking him back. Nathan then shoots Cable off the ropes and on the rebound catches him with a powerslam. Nathan gets up and looks out to the fans and signals that he? about to end the match. Nathan heads out to the outside.]

Thomas Simon: Nathan James looking high risk here!

Bob Herman: Come on Cable, you gotta get up!

[Nathan has trouble climbing the ropes due to his injured leg. He does however, eventually make it up there, but Cable has spring to his feet and springboards off the ropes to catch Nathan in the head with a springboard enzuguri!]

Thomas Simon: What a move by Chris Cable! Nathan took too long. That's what happens.

Bob Herman: Never doubted you for a moment Cable!

[Nathan falls off the top turnbuckle, crashing to the mat below. Cable gets to his knees and goes over to Nathan for the pin. .1..2..]

Bob Herman: Why'd he stop counting?!

Thomas Simon: Nathan's foot is on the rope, Willy.

[Indeed the ref has spotted Nathan's foot draped across the bottom rope. Cable angrily picks up Nathan, and hooks him in suplex position. He lifts, Nathan blocks. He tries again, Nathan blocks. Nathan then punches Cable in the gut three times to break out, then he hooks Cable head. As Nathan twists, Cable breaks out of the hold and pushes Nathan away. Nathan falls to a knee, his injury still lingering. Cable is now up and motioning for Nathan to turn around.]

Bob Herman: This is it. Sweet dreams Nathan!

[Cable loads up as Nathan turns, looking for the Superkick But Nathan ducks, catches Cable in a waistlock and throws him across the ring with a German suplex]

Thomas Simon: One hell of a suplex by Nathan James!

Bob Herman: C'MON Cable!

[Nathan stands, waiting for Cable to do the same. Nathan goes over to Cable but gets stopped by a thumb in the eye. Cable tries to shoot Nathan into the corner, but Nathan reverses and Cable hits hard back-first. Nathan hobbles over, pulls Cable out of the corner, and sits on the turnbuckle. He pulls Cable back in and hooks him, trying to do a Tornado DDT. Cable however put a stop to it shooting hard shots to Nathan? gut. Cable breaks away and begins to climb, but Nathan kicks him with his good leg right in the face.]

Thomas Simon: That'll loosen some teeth.

[ Nathan stands, and leaps off, catching a reeling Cable with a FLYING CLOTHESLINE!]

Thomas Simon: Oh my god!

Bob Herman: No! No! No!

[Nathan comes down and is still smarting, but the impact Cable took takes him right out of the ring. Nathan finally sits up, and grimaces as he sees Cable isn't in the ring. Nathan slowly rolls out, and is becoming a little more stable now that his knee hasn't been worked on for a while. He has to deadlift Cable and roll him back into the ring. Cable is practically dead in the ring, and Nathan drags him to the center and then goes to the top rope]

Thomas Simon: Another high risk attempt? I don't understand why Nathan didn't pin Cable right there.

Bob Herman: Because he's an idiot.

[Nathan has climbed the ropes, and attempts to steady himself. He stands at the top and smiles. He is about to leap off when Cable kips up out of nowhere right as Nathan leaps off. Nathan tries to change direction in mid-air but can? as he is BLASTED with the DEATH BLOW!]

Thomas Simon: DEATH BLOW OUT OF NOWHERE!

Bob Herman: YES! YES! YES!

[Cable smiles evilly as Nathan is out cold. Cable quickly rolls into the cover 1...2...3!]

Thomas Simon: And Chris Cable has done it. Out of nowhere that KO Elbow strikes again.

Bob Herman: Did you expect anything less.

[In the middle of the Ring is a table and two chairs. "Going Under" fills the arena as Laura Tavares appears at the top of the ramp and makes her way down to the ring. Upon climbing in she takes a mic]

Laura: Ladies and Gentlemen, this table is setup for signing of a contract for one of the most anticipated matches scheduled for Road to Glory. The Street fight between Bliss....

[The crowd is a mix of cheers and boos. Laura smirks.]

Laura: And Roxi Johnson.

[The arena erupts into even larger cheers]

Laura: And on the line is the Sin City Championship. so let's this show on the road shall we. Introducing first, the challenger... Roxi Johnson

['Save me' by Remy zero ques up and Roxi comes out. Raising her hands as she jogs down the ramp and gets in the ring. She's handed a mic. the crowd is still cheering. Roxi smiles]

Roxi: Thank you! I promise you all that I will bring that Championship back to a place of honour....

["careless whisper starts up and Bliss stands at the top of the ramp. She's dressed in jeans and the famous black hoodie. the sin city championship over her shoulder. A mic already in her hand. She smiles with a shake to her head as she comes toward the ring]

Laura: And the Champ has arrived.

[She rolls her eyes. Bliss gets right in Laura's face. the two stare each other down. Bliss Brings up the mic to her mouth]

Bliss: Why hello Laura....Long time no see eh? I still have unfinished business with you...You denied me my retribution when you ran away and then that stupid she-male, Ice, took you out....I will deal with you eventually, but tonight....tonight there are bigger things to worry about aren't there?

Laura: Oh sweetie... I'm untouchable... but it's real cute that you think that you're going to live long enough to seek that 'retribution'.

[Bliss laughs and then as suddenly as the smile appeared on her face, it turned to a serious face]

Bliss: Don't make any bets Laura... I'm not planning on going home empty handed next week. But why don't we get this signing over with, I do have a match tonight.

[Bliss walks toward the table and sits down, getting comfortable and suddenly swinging two boot clad feet on to it, crossed at the ankles. She opens her arms wide and points toward the empty chair. Roxi and Laura both walk over, Roxi taking the seat in front of her. Roxi immediately pics up a pen, flips a page and signs it and shoves it back toward Bliss. Bliss raises her eyebrows]

Bliss: Now before I sign this....I have a few things I need to get off my chest. You think you have me all figured out, you think you have me at my lowest, my weakest point. Well your wrong! I am more dangerous now then I have ever been. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep my title. I have no scruples when it comes to bashing your skull in. You have no idea what to expect from me. I know what it takes to win. I can promise you Roxi... you will never be the same after Road to Glory.

[Roxi stands up, looks a little annoyed, angry even. She leans over toward Bliss, who now is on her feet]

Roxi: I'm sorry... were you saying something.... All I heard was blah blah blah dangerous. Blah Blah blah never be the same.

[the crowd laughs]

Bliss: You wanna turn this into a joke? You think that's smart miss superhero?

Roxi: You turned this into a joke Bliss. You turned this into a joke when you acted like I was so beneath you that I didn't even deserve the same degree of the famous Bliss lashing. You have no respect for anything or anybody. That is why I am going to take you down a few notches and show everybody just how wrong you are about me.

[Bliss smiles. Roxi looks a little taken aback]

Bliss: You know what... you're right. I don't' deserve the title and you'rr going to put me in place so you know what... here... just take the title....

[Bliss starts to take the title off her shoulder and then stops]

Bliss: HAHAHA! Roxi you amuse me. You really think I care if you respect me. Do you think that I really care that your 'disappointed' that I didn't come at you with everything I have. Point in fact Roxi, the only one that matters to me... is me. That will never change... in fact I've never claimed to care about anyone more than myself. It's just the way I am...and I could give a flying fuck if you like it or not. I've been trying to tell you... What people think about you, about me, or down even lower to the janitor that scrubs my toilet...it doesn't matter. The Fans don't win matches for you Roxi. Only you can win matches....the sooner your realize that your a dying race the better....

Laura; Wow that sounds like the opinion of someone else Bliss.... been getting in your brain has he?

[Bliss looks up at her with a devious grin]

Bliss: Laura, I don't let anybody get to me. I believe in the power of me and only me.

Roxi: Just sign the contract and stop stalling.

[Bliss shrugs, walks over to the table and scrawls her signature]

Bliss: Well I warned you. That constitutes a legally binding contract on its own, which means that when I hurt you...hurt you a lot... you can't come after me for it.

Roxi: You can try.

[Bliss smiles before going forward as if she's going to attack her but then turns, blows a kiss to the crowds and then flips them all off with a double middle finger. She gets to the top of the ramp before turning back to the women in the ring]

Bliss: I'd wish you luck Roxi but well... you don't need it...cuz your Roxi Johnson and your invincible. We'll see about that at Road to Glory.

[with that she turns and leaves]

Match 4: Elimination Tag

[Suddenly all the lights in the arena go out. After a long silence the lights finally start flashing to the beat of "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. After the intro of the song, Cami and Emi appear on the stage, wearing match poker-themed outfits, with their backs against the crowd. They are stomping their feet to the beat. Finally as the vocals kick in they both turn around, almost symmetrical in their movement, and start dancing down the ramp as the fans clap their hands having a good time.]

Honey Winters: At a combined weight of two hundred and eleven pounds, Cami James and Emi Yamamoto, they are...the Super Shiny Tiger Twins!!!

Bob Herman: This is more like it! Think these two girls are up for a game of strip poker with yours truly?

Thomas Simon: I heard Emi is quite the fan. I never thought I'd say this but that would be one game I'd actually like to see you win...

Bob Herman: Thanks Tommy boy, I'd invite you but from what I've heard you like to strip even when you're not playing!

[Just before the chorus begins they both hop onto the apron at the same time. Emi seductively poses to the camera but Cami is not so keen on doing so. They enter the ring and assume a position in the middle of the ring and begin dancing to the chorus, much to the delight of the fans.]

Bob Herman: This is so hot right now...

Thomas Simon: They are a hot team I agree, and not just in looks. These two have been on a roll since joining together, and they could very well be on their way to the tag titles if they keep their momentum going.

Honey Winters: The following contest is an Eight-person Tag team match scheduled to be contest under elimination style rules!!! Introducing first!!!

*"Started From The Bottom" By Drake booms over the loud speakers to a slight chorus of boos from the crowd. Rye Payne enters from the back as he makes his way to the ring.

Honey Winters: From Detroit, Michigan!! Weighing 190 pounds!! RYYEE PAAYYNNEE!!

*"Say It" by Evan's Blue plays throughout the arena as a blast of light blue and white lights flash along with the music. Out from behind the curtain comes Aaron "Stone" Cruz. He stands in the center of the stage. He closes his eyes and smiles, almost like he's soaking up the crowd's hate and is using it as energy. He opens his eyes, still grinning. He squats down for a second, putting his hands on his knees, and then raises both hands up in the air. A combination of fireworks come up from the stage and he begins his walk to the ring.

Honey Winters: And his partner!! Introducing, from Concord, New Hampshire, weighing in at 252 lbs... AARON... STONE... CRUZZZ!!!!!!!

*He walks down the ramp getting himself psyched up for the match. Hopping up and down. Slapping himself. Stretching the wrist and arm out. Getting ready. He stops at the end of the ramp and takes a look around. He then smiles and runs and slides into the ring. He puts his arms up as the crowd boos loudly.

Honey Winters: And their partner!!

*"Lies Greed Misery" By Linkin park hits, for 10 seconds nothing happens then Red White and Blue strobe lights come on as Ian Andrews makes his way to the ring, as he gets in the ring Ian takes the Microphone from the Ring announcer and announces himself. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, from Boston, Mass. he is the second olyimpic medalist in Pro wrestling history, and a hell of a lot better looking then anyone here, he is Ian Andrews."

Honey Winters: And finally, their partner!! ANNDREEE DIIXXOONN!!

*Suddenly the lights cut out and start flashing, when the beginning of "City" by Hollywood Undead begins to play over the loud speakers and the crowd descend into a massive chorus of boos as Andre Dixon appears from the back, his Age of Arrogance branded jacket over his back as he stares out to the crowd, and raises a fist as he walks to the ring.

Honey Winters: And their opponents!!

*As the heavy guitar riffs of Thousand foot Krutch's Welcome to the Masqurade starts playing the figures of two masked men appear on top of the ramp both shrouded in darkness. As the song goes into the chorus the name Real Steele is spelled out on the screen and spotlights catch the Steele Brothers who pull off their masks and hands them to a fan on each side of the ramp as they make their way down to ringside

Honey Winters: Coming down the ramp weighing in at as combined weight of 427lbs the team of Matt and Adam Steele REEEAAALLL STEEELLLEEE!

*They walk around the ring and slide in on the opposite side of the ramp, mounting the turnbuckles and posing for the fans before jumping down and doing a chest bump in the center of the ring and then settling down in their corner

Honey Winters: And their partners!!

DING....DING....DING

Thomas Simon: Here we go, eight man elimination tag match to begin right here, and a week before Road to Glory, where all of these men and women will be involved in a match for the tag team titles, it's going to be interesting to see if they can all cooperate!

Bob Herman: Who cares, have you seen the Super Bouncy Tiger Twins tonight!!

Thomas Simon: Come back to me Bob, we've got a match to call here.

*The match starts with Ian Andrews and Adam Steele in the ring, squaring off, as Ian charges Adam ducks and kicks him in the gut, going to work with right hands to Ian's jaw as he pushes him into the turnbuckle, but Ian is able to execute a forward roll, dodging a corner clothesline as he regroups in his corner. He settles himself before he tags in Aaron Cruz, who enters the ring and stares down Adam Steele as he attempts a clothesline, but Cruz blocks it and hauls Adam up for a scoop slam. Adam retreats to the corner and then ducks a big boot from Cruz, kicking him in the right leg multiple times as Cruz is forced down on one knee, and Adam hits a big right boot to the side of Cruz's jaw.

Thomas Simon: OH! Big impact from the boot, and we've got our first cover!!

1.....

*Cruz kicks out at 1 and gets immediately to his feet, blocking a right hand as he slams his knee into Adam's gut, then irish whips him to the ropes and lifts him into an oklahoma position, looking to charge forward to hit a snake eyes, but Adam pushes off and spins Cruz around, kicking him in the gut multiple times before going to the ropes and hitting a running clothesline. Cruz goes down, but gets straight back up, only to be hit with a running knee lift to the jaw by Adam Steele, who tags in his brother Matt. Matt Steele starts going to work on Cruz with right hands, but Cruz eventually pushes him to the ropes and on the rebound hits a massive big boot to Matt's jaw.

Bob Herman: There! Right there is the domination of Aaron Cruz using his massive size!

*Aaron lifts Matt to his feet and hits multiple knees to his gut, pulling him over to his corner as he tags in Andre Dixon, who starts going to work with right hands to Matt's gut, hammering away until the ref pulls him away. Andre raises his arms in submission to the ref but catches Matt as he attempts a diving clothesline, hauling him into a reverse oklahoma position as he pulls down and slams him back first into the mat, executing a muscle pose as the fans continue to boo.

Thomas Simon: I guess they don't call it the Age of Arrogance for nothing...

Bob Herman: I'm loving it!! Dixon is a tank!

*Dixon charges and spears Matt Steele into the corner, grabbing him in the northern lights position as he walks to the middle of the ring and hauls him up, pausing for a second with Matt in the air as he attempts to bring him down for a slam, but Matt is able to hit a big DDT.

Thomas Simon: What a counter by Matt Steele!!! This one could be over!!

*Matt and Andre are both laid out and are crawling to their respective corners, and Matt makes the tag in to Emi Yamamoto who bursts into the ring, meanwhile Dixon makes the tag to Rye Payne, who gets into the ring, only to receive a dropkick from Emi. Then another, then another, and finally a leaping back elbow as the crowd get pumped. Emi yells to the crowd and turns around, grabbing Rye in a DDT position and tagging in her partner Cami James in, who brings both her knees up to Emi's chest and monkey flips her into a hurricanrana onto Rye Payne.

Thomas Simon: Emi and Cami are rolling right now!!!

Bob Herman: Oh, i wish...

Thomas Simon: It's a figure of speech Bob. Emi and Cami are signalling for the end-No!! Maxwell Phoenix rolls Rye out of the way!! He was saved by his so-called "associate".

Bob Herman: Smart move.

*Rye and Maxwell regain their composure but Emi and Cami run to the ropes and leap over, hitting double suicide dives on Rye and Maxwell. The fans are electric as they cheer for their new favorite tag team, and Cami hauls Rye into the ring as she enters herself. However, she doesn't see Andre who charges towards Emi, hitting a massive big boot outside the ring.

Thomas Simon: Cheap shot!!! What a dirty cheap shot from Dixon!

*Cami sees Emi on the ground and turns around, and Rye capitalizes, rolling Cami James up for a pin.

Thomas Simon: Rye looking to steal one!!!! 1.............2................NO! Kickout from Cami James!! And now they're getting to their feet....Cami kicks Rye in the gut, SNAP DDT!!! CAMI HITS THE SUNNY DISPOSITION!!! 1..............2...............3!!!!

Bob Herman: First elimination!! Rye Payne is being sent packing!!

*Cami celebrates and doesn't see Ian Andrews coming up from behind her, as he slams her in the back with a double forearm and then spins her around, kicking her in the gut as he throws her into the turnbuckle, waiting for her to turn around as he attempts a superkick. But Cami is able to dodge, rolling out of the way as she tags in Adam Steele, who hits Andrews with multiple right hands as he shouts to the crowd and runs to the ropes.

Thomas Simon: Aaron Cruz tripped Adam!! Wait a sec-SUPERKICK!!! Massive superkick from Ian Andrews!! 1.............2..........3!!!

Bob Herman: Adam Steele is now eliminated!!! It's 3 on 3!!

*Ian turns back to his competitors to see Adam's brother Matt Steele enter the ring and charge at Ian, who gets decked with a clothesline. Matt raises his arms to the fans as he sets up Ian for a Death Valley Driver, but as he turns around he gets kicked in the gut by Andre Dixon, who enters the ring.

Thomas Simon: All hell is breaking loose!!! Emi and Cami are charging and and going to work on Andre and Aaron, but they don't see Ian come up from behind them, as he hauls Cami out of the ring, only to run into a dropkick from Emi!

*With Aaron on the outside of the ring, Emi looks down pleased, but doesn't see Andre Dixon coming up behind her. He pulls her around and hits a massive spinebuster, only for Matt Steele to come back in and hit him with a running shoulder block.

Thomas Simon: Big shoulder block from Matt Steele!! Here we go!!!

*However, Ian sneaks up behind Matt and pulls him around, hitting him with a kick to the gut as he pushes him into Andre Dixon, who hits an incredible Samoan drop on Matt.

Thomas Simon: SAMOAN DROP!! MASSIVE SAMOAN DROP FROM ANDRE!! Now Ian covers!!! 1............2.............3!!!!!

Bob Herman: 3 on 2!!! Ian, Andre and Aaron have the advantage!

Thomas Simon: Hang on!! Watch Cami!! ROLLUP!!! 1..............2................3!!!!! IAN IS ELIMINATED!!!

Bob Herman: Just when i say something, it goes and changes.

Thomas Simon: Maybe you should stop talking then Bob.

Bob Herman: Why would anybody want that? Everybody loves hearing me talk!!

Thomas Simon: Riiiight. Anyway now Cami tags in Emi and it'll be Emi and Andre facing off!!

*Emi looks Andre in the eyes as he charges, kicking her in the gut and grabbing her and hauling her into a powerbomb position, attempting to lift her up. However, Emi counters with a hurricanrana into the raised foot of Cami, as she hits a kick he spins around and meets the Supa Sekushi Stunner.

Thomas Simon: SUPA SEKUSHI STUNNER!!! 1..............2................3!!!!!

Bob Herman: Uh oh!! This is not looking good for Aaron Cruz!

*Cruz enters the ring and warily eyes Emi, before he pulls her into a headlock, locking in the pressure as he takes her down with a headlock slam and hits her with multiple right hands. As he gets to his feet and pulls her up into a DDT position, he then switches to a gutwrench position, looking for the gutwrench powerbomb.

Thomas Simon: Here we go!! Gutwrench powerbomb!!! No!!! Emi reverses and Cami tags in!!!! Cami hits a dropkick to the knee and a big DDT!!! here we go!! Cami is setting up!!! RISE AND SHINE!!!!! 1...............2...................3!!!!!!

Honey Winters: Here are your winners!!! THE SUPER SHINY TIGER TWINS!!! AND REAL STEELE!!!!

Honey Winters: The following contest is set for one fall and will be competed under X-core Rules. The winner will go on to face Gabriel Griffin and Kuk Killwitch at Road 2 Glory for the MPW X-core Championship!!

["Sticks and Bricks" by A Day to Remember hits and TJ Pain walks out from behind the curtain after the intro with Roxxanne close behind. He walks to the end of the stage and riases the "Devil horns" up on his right hand. A blast of red pyro goes off behind him and Roxxanne and they are headed down the ramo before the smoke settles.]

Honey Winters: "From Baltimore, Maryland weighing in at two hundred and forty-five pounds, the Baltimore Badass...Tee...Jay..PAIN!"

[TJ walks down the ramp slowly while mouthing off to every fan he can. as he reaches ring side he jumps up onto the apron while Roxxanne takes the stairs. He holds the ropes open for her and follows her into the ring. He takes to the second turnbuckle and riases his right fist before mouthign off more at the fans and jumping down.]

["Strong Arm Broken" by Sevendust plays from the PA system in the arena. The crowd erupts with mixed reactions throughout the arena. There's a huge flash of red and blue strobe lights sweeping on the stage and in the arena. Brandon Nytrus, with Nikki Schott, walks on to the stage. He puts his arms up in the air in a "V" with his fists in the air and an array of fireworks explode from the stage.]

Honey Winters: Introducing... Accompanied by Nikki Schott... From South Boston, Massachusetts... Weighing in at 272 pounds... He is the "King of Hardcore"... BRRANDON... NYTRUSS!!!!

[Brandon walks down the ramp with Nikki on his arm. They walk down the ramp smiling. Once to the end of the ramp, they stop. Brandon takes a look around the arena. The fans give him a mixed reaction. He walks to the steps and lets Nikki walk up first. He opens the bottom two ropes and lets her in. She walks in and watches her man get in. He walks to the turnbuckle and stands on the second rope, putting his arms in the "V" shape. The lights flash in many red and blue strobes as soon as he gets up on the buckle.]

Thomas Simon: Alright!! This one will be huge!!!

DING DING DING

[TJ charges forward and begins to pound on Nytrus. Back and forth. Punches bringing him down to the mat. He starts to claw at his jaw, pulling the top of Brandon's mouth back. He releases and climbs to the outside.]

Thomas Simon: Well, TJ did say he was going to kick Brandon's ass.

Bob Herman: If Brandon doesn't start displaying some offense, that's exactly what will happen!!!

[TJ picks up a steel chain and he wraps it around his fist. Brandon begins to stand up when TJ charges. Brandon ducks underneath the flying fist and is met with a kick to the gut. TJ curdles over in pain. Nytrus clobbers him over the back with a double axe handle. He bounces off the ropes and hits a big boot to the head that sends Pain falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring.]

Bob Herman: What a move from Nytrus! He's gotta take advantage of this, Tommy.

[Brandon gets out of the ring. He drags the chain out with him. TJ tries to pick himself with the steel steps. Brandon charges to whip him with the steel chain. TJ rolls out of the way and a loud *bang* from the chain is heard. Pain then low blows Brandon. He falls on the ground, grabbing his groin. TJ picks up the chain and uses the barricade to stand. He then begins to whip Brandon with it. It cracks on his back. Nytrus screams out so loud, that everyone in the arena can hear him.]

Thomas Simon: OH MY GOD!!! What is he doing!?!?

Bob Herman: This guy is sick!!! Wow!!!

[He continues to whip him. Red lines show on Brandon's back. He cringes. TJ says some things to the crowd, and then continues to whip him. The ref rolls out of the ring. He tells TJ to stop. This buys Brandon enough time to struggle his way into the ring. The ref is pushed and smacks his face against the padding. TJ pays no attention and rolls in the ring after Brandon, who is in immense pain. TJ picks him up and connects with a lifting backbreaker. Brandon screams out in pain.]

Thomas Simon: It seems that the back is the focal point for this attack now, huh Bobo?

Bob Herman: Brandon is down and out... This match will be over soon.

[TJ stands up and turns Brandon on his stomach. He climbs the ropes and lands an elbow onto the back of Nytrus who goes rolling around the ring, holding his back, screaming in pain. The referee is still outside the ring when TJ goes for the cover.]

Bob Herman: I don't think TJ will be too happy when he sees the ref isn't in this match anymore!

Thomas Simon: Nevertheless... You know this beat down will continue.

[Nytrus rolls out of the ring when Pain releases the pin. TJ rolls to the outside where the referee is, trying to wake him up, but to no avail. He scoffs and turns to go find Brandon. Once he is on the opposite side of the ring where Brandon is, he is smacked across the ace with a steel chair. Pain goes down to the padding, lifeless. The crowd pops from the huge moment. Nytrus is still in pain, but his anger gets the best of it. Lol adrenaline kicks in and he picks up TJ, only to hurtle him into the barricade.]

Bob Herman: Oh no... The beast has come out of its cage now...

[He takes Pain's bald head and throws him into the side of the ring. He falls to the padding once again and has begun to bleed from the chair shot. Nytrus picks him up again and sends him into the barricade once more. He screams out to the arena where the crowd gives him a mixed response. Once again, he picks TJ up and throws him in the ring this time. He stays outside the ring as he pulls Pain to the apron and begins to choke him. Then he gets on the apron himself and connects with a huge leg drop onto the neck of TJ. Pain screams out and holds his neck as he squirms to the middle of the ring.]

Thomas Simon: Brandon has had a ton of built up frustration from TJ and Kuk as of late, but now... As he said... It's personal.

Bob Herman: And I don't think the Icon will stop until TJ's dead!!

[Nytrus goes under the ring and takes out a small cloth bag, then a kendo stick and then some barbed wire. He moves quickly into the ring. The cloth bag is undone and lets out hundreds and hundreds of thumb tacks. The crowd pops. Nytrus lays the barbed wire down on top of the tacks and sets the stick down next to it. Pain is at his feet now. Nytrus charges, but misses a big boot. He turns and charges once more, only to be back body dropped on top of the tacks and barbed wire. The crowd pops once more.]

Thomas Simon: OH MY GAWD!!!!

Bob Herman: I can't watch this anymore!!!!!

[Brandon lays there with his eyes wide open. Not moving. The ref has made his way into the ring at this point, but is still a little out of it. Pain covers.]

1...2... Kick out.

Thomas Simon: HOW THE.... How did Nytrus kick out!?

Bob Herman: Oh, he should've stayed down!!

[TJ is in disbelief. Brandon is moved off the tacks. His back is covered in wounds and little holes from the tacks and wire. He tries to sit up. Pain comes back over to him. He picks him up and throws him off the ropes. He looks for a powerslam onto the tacks once again, but Brandon counters it. He picks TJ up into powerbomb position and throws him down hard onto all of the objects. The crowd pops as Brandon goes for a cover.]

1...2... Kick out.

[Brandon slides over. He uses the ropes to pick himself up. He looks around and sees the kendo stick. He crawls over and picks it up. He waits for TJ to stand. But then, the lights cut out. The crowd pops, only to find when the lights come back on, that Crow is in the ring, beating down Nytrus. He connects with the "Murder". Nytrus is out. Suddenly, Aaron Cruz and Ian Andrews storm the ring. They begin to beat on Crow. Taking him down with punches. Ian picks him up and throws him to Aaron, who connects with the "Head of Stone". Suddenly, at the top of the ramp, we see the MPW X-core Champion, Kuk Killswitch running down. He takes out both men. Rye Payne is seen coming from the crowd. He takes down Kuk for the moment, only to have TJ take him out with a "Kneebrace Driver" from behind. Then, Roxanne comes from the stage and helps Crow take out Cruz and Andrews, until Nikki Schott runs down the ramp and takes her down.]

Thomas Simon: It's pandemonium in the ring at the moment!!

Bob Herman: Who's gonna come out on top!?!?!

[Rye, Aaron, Ian and Nikki all brawl with Crow, Kuk and Roxanne. TJ is left standing in the ring watching them all disperse into various parts of the arena.]

Thomas Simon: Wait, look at Nytrus!

[Crack.]

Bob Herman: What a shot from Nytrus to the back of the head with that chair!

[Nytrus then picks him up and sets up for the Endure, but TJ fights out. He goes for another Kneebrace Driver and connects. He pins.]

1...2...3!!!!

DING DING DING

Honey Winters: Here is your winner, and going to Road 2 Glory... T....J... PAIN!!!!!

[Sticks and Bricks plays from the speaker as TJ and Brandon lay there, motionless in the middle of the ring. TJ's blood filling out around them.]

Thomas Simon: Well, Brandon did promise that TJ would be laying in a puddle of his own blood at the end of the night!

Bob Herman: But he never said he would be doing it as a loser!! And look at TJ now!!

[He is helped up and had his hand raised by an injured ref.]

HOLD ON A DAMN SECOND!

[The crowd stops as Laura walks out on to the stage]

Laura Tavares: You guys want to act like children FINE. You are both added to the match at Road 2 Glory! I want to see you guys rip each other to shreds!

[Going Under by Evanescence hits as Laura walks off. TJ, Nytrus, Kuk stare at each other as the scene fades]

Match 6: Steel Cage

[The arena lights dim, as golden spotlights pass throughout, catching various clusters of fans within their amber glow. "Bedroom Eyes" by Yngwie Malmsteen begins to pipe throughout the arena's sound system, as the spotlights ascend upon the rampway, merging into one solid beam.]

Honey Winters: This match is a STEEL CAGE MATCH! Making his way to the ring, Tyler Rose!

[Tyler Rose then emerges from the back, standing atop the rampway, basking in the light a smile upon his face Reborn" by Damageplan is heard blasting throughout the arena.]

Honey Winters: and his opponent, The Samurai SHAUN CROSS!

[Shaun Cross wastes no time as he walks onto the stage, immediately starting down the ramp. Occasionally drifting to the sides of the ramp to high-five a few fans.]

[The cage lowers as both Superstars anxiously await the bell ringing. The cage is finally locked in place as the door is shut and locked with a chain. All of a sudden "X gon give it to ya" hits as the fans look at the titan tron. Jason X walks out with the Television Title over his shoulder. He walks down the ramp and towards ringside. He unfolds a steel chair and sits at ringside as both Cross and Rose stare at him. ]

Thomas Simon: It looks like the Champ is heading out to watch his Road to Glory opponents.

[The bell rings as immiediatly Tyler Rose starts climbing the cage. Cross runs over and jumps nailing Rose in the back with his fists. Rose stumbles back and catches himself on the top ropes. Rose holds on to the cage as Cross jumps up on to the top corner turnbuckle. He jumps off with a roundhouse kick knocking Rose off the cage. Rose falls ot the mat as Cross stands up. The crowd cheers for him. Jason X looks on with a blank look]

Thomas Simon: Rose got caught early this could cost him the match!

Bob Herman: Don't count him out yet. It's only a small slip up

[Cross walks over to Rose and picks him up. He kicks him in the stomach and lifts him up for a vertical suplex. He hits it and Cross rolls over for a pin]

1...

[Tyler kicks out quick as Cross lifts him up once again. He whips Rose in to the ropes. He awaits rose for a back body drop but Rose rolls over the top of Cross. Cross stands up and before he turns around is hit with a bulldog from Rose. Rose gets to his knees and smirks as the fans boo him. Again Jason X just watches intently]

Bob Herman: i told you the momentum would shift Thomas

Thomas Simon: Like you said, it's still early.

[Tyler gets to his feet and starts stomping away on Cross. He runs off the ropes and hits a legdrop on Cross. Rose lifts Cross up and grabs his head. He yells some curses at Cross before running towards the cage with him. He slams Cross's face in to the cage wall as Cross falls down on to his back clutching his head. Rose takes a bow and smiles at the fans wbo once again boo him.]

Thomas Simon: Rose is so cocky

Bob Herman: But he's good so he is allowed

[Rose makes it to the ropes and is able to pull himself up to his feet, Cross releases the hold and stomps the back of Rose’s leg. Rose goes down to a knee and Cross bounces of the ropes and delivers a hard knee to the face of Rose, sending him down again. Cross pulls Rose’s arm out fully extended and drops a knee onto it, causing Rose to writhe in pain. Cross grabs the arm and throws it against the mat. Rose grabs his arm and springs to his feet grabbing his arm. Cross circles, waiting for an opportunity to strike, then he charges. Rose sees it coming and dodges, lifting Cross slightly with one arm and throwing him with all of his momentum into the side of the cage. Cross bounces off the cage and lands hard headfirst on the mat. Rose is still clutching his arm, but he stomps on the back of Cross and begins mouthing off at him while continuing to curbstomp Cross relentlessly into the mat. Rose pulls Cross to his feet and grabs him in a gutwrentch position. He lifts Cross up and throws him to the mat with a gutwrentch powerbomb. Rose drops a knee on the gut of Cross and slaps him across the face. The crowd boos vehemently as Rose looks out at them and laughs. He picks Cross up and bodyslams him to the mat again]

Thomas Simon: Ouch!

Bob Herman: don’t be so squeamish Thomas

[Both men make it to the ropes at about the same time, and they pull themselves to their feet. Rose Washington staggers over and throws a punch. Cross takes it square on the jaw, and then throws a punch of his own. The two continue to trade punches, and the crowd cheers for every Cross punch and boo for every Rose punch. Finally, Cross manages to string together a chain of punches, then grabs Roses head and slams his own head into it. Rose staggers backwards, and bounces off the ropes. Cross charges and is met by a boot to the head from Rose. Cross springs up and is met by a clothesline from Rose. Cross gets up again and goes for a punch, Rose ducks and hits an atomic drop. Cross staggers forward and is grabbed by the back of the head by Rose, Rose runs forward and slams Cross’s face off the steel cage, causing blood to begin to seep from the nose of Cross.

Rose grabs Crosss arm and half steps across the ring before sending Cross into the opposite corner. Rose runs towards the corner and connects with a body avalanche sending the back of Cross’s head into the cage, causing it to bleed as well. As Cross sits bleeding in the corner, Rose begins to strut about the ring and mouth off to fans.]

Thomas Simon: Rose is at it again!

Bob Herman: What a brutal shot

[Rose starts climbing the cage as Cross lays on the ground motionless. Rose gets to the top and looks down. He smirks and starts to balance himself in the corner. The fans get on their feet]

Bob Herman: NO NO NO!

Thomas Simon: OH MY GOD DON’T DO IT ROSE YOU WILL END YOUR CAREER!

[Rose balances and dives off with the Money Shot! At the last second, Cross rolls out of the way as Rose crashes hard to the mat. They both squirm and get to their feet. They exchange punches back and forth. Cross whips Rose in to the ropes. Rose ducks a clothesline. Cross hits a back kick on Roses return. Rose kneels down and Cross lifts him up.

Thomas Simon: Great momentum heading in to the triple threat match at Road 2 Glory!

[Jason X gets up and looks in to the eyes of Shaun Cross. Cross motions the belt around his waste as the scene fades]

[Walk Away by Five Finger Death Punch hits as the fans begin to boo. Johnny Clash walks out on to the stage in a Trey Baxter T-Shirt and a suit jacket over it. Johnny laughs as the fans boo him some more. Laura trails close behind him in a blue dress as they walk down the ramp. Johnny jumps on to the apron as Laura walks up the steps. He holds down the ropes for her as she climbs through. He slaps her butt as he follows her in to the ring. Johnny takes a microphone and the music dies down. The boos continue to echo through the arena as Johnny smiles and eats them up.]

Johnny Clash: So last Thursday Night was a monumental moment in the history of MPW. Last Thursday we all witnessed something that we have seen many times before. We saw Trey Baxter get... pinned

[Johnny laughs as the fans boo]

Thomas Simon: That is uncalled for. Trey Baxters career is over

Bob Herman: Good Riddance

Johnny Clash: I know I know, in poor taste. Whatever, I invented poor taste. Now to a more important subject on hand. Apparently there is a rumor going around the grape vine that I have been running around taking out the lower card talent. There are so many things wrong with that rumor. First off, I would never take out the lower card talent. No one cares about them anyway, let them bury themselves. Second I would never waste my time. If i were to do something like that I would ditch the hood and brag about what I had just done.

[The fans boo]

Thomas Simon: you think he's telling the truth?

Bob Herman: I certainly do

Johnny Clash: And the conclusion of this case is the video footage. If i can direct your attention to the screen please.

[On the screen shows black and white surveillance overhead footage. Johnny is seen walking with the lead pipe as Cage skips passed him. Johnny stops Cage and yells at him. Johnny walks away to the top of the screen and takes out his cell phone. From behind Cage is a man in a black hood that takes out the knees of Cage with the pipe. He then continues to beat down Cage and runs away from the scene. A referee sees cage and runs over calling for help. The scene cuts back to the ring]

Johnny Clash: And with that... the proof that I was not the one nor had anything to do with the attacking of Jake Cage and Chicken weeks ago. Now on to the next topic. I want to call someone out here right now.

Thomas Simon: Who can Johnny be calling out?

Johnny Clash: Cami..... James.....

[Johnny smiles as the fans cheer. Cami's music hits and she walks out on to the stage nervously.]

Thomas Simon: Oh come on what the hell is this now

Bob Herman: It looks like Johnny has something to say to Cami

[Cami enters the ring and stands in the corner.]

Johnny Clash: Come here sweetie. Don't be afraid I won't hurt you.

[Cami slowly walks to the middle of the ring and stands across from Johnny]

Johnny Clash: Aren't you just adorable. What are you five foot nothing 90 pounds? No wonder you're a virgin. A Pinky won't even fit in that thing. I would even go far enough to call you Bizarro Biguns!

[Johnny and Laura laugh as Cami looks embarressed]

Johnny Clash: Hey hey Laura. Remember that time we were at Rye Paynes fruit stand and all the cherries popped. Wow what a mess!

Thomas Simon: Enough Clash this is too far!

Bob Herman: This is fun!Johnny Clash: No wonder Trey kept you around this is fun. I mean you can always go back and cry to your X-Core Champion Kuk. Amiright!?

[Johnny laughs as Laura grabs his shoulder]

Johnny Clash: Now Cami. When you say Virgin... that certainly doesn't mean your mouth.....

[Crying like a bitch hits as the fans pop. Johnny tells Laura to get out of the ring and she slides out. Cami also flees the ring as Rage emerges on top of the stage through the fog and green lights]

Thomas Simon: Thank god!

[Rage walks aggressively walks towards the ring and circles the apron as Clash is in fighting stance. Rage smirks at him and grabs a mic from Honey. He climbs the ring steps and begins to speak.]

Rage: Take it easy there Smurfette….I’m not out to kick your ass until next week……tonight…we talk…..

[Rage climbs in the ring as Johnny gives Rage a confused look. He cautiously picks up his mic and speaks.]

Johnny Clash: Smurfette? Smurfette!? That's the best you got? Your mind really must be slipping old man. You should show me some god damn respect.

[Johnny steps up closer to Rage's face]

Johnny Clash: It's your fault Baxter is gone anyway... isn't it? Talk about taking the bullet huh? Your fat ass could have rolled right off the hood of that car, left with a sprain. Instead you caused Trey to be put in a coma. Shipped back to Chicago on a stretcher.

Rage: Same old John…..always laying the blame game on everyone else and as my theme music goes……you are always Cryin’ like a bitch! You try and blame me for Trey’s unfortunate accident. I simply see it as poorly executed….Next time you want to take someone out you should try hiring someone that doesn’t have a mouthful of vegemite and head full of dog shit!

[Clash is beat red as Rage continues.]

Rage: Oh look you’re emotional now…that’s good……Look, You and I….John boy…..we’ve been up and down this road before….you know it well….I remember getting that call from Bob Herman with this idea….this amazing idea of forming a group called the True Wrestling Icons! It worked and it did it ever work well but somewhere along that gold plated path I began to realize something....it was all just a ploy to feed the ego and try and keep Johnny Clash on top. Well how did that work out for you cham……oh…that’s right it didn’t! You lost to Ash over……and over…….and over again! This whole fed, in your crazy mind exists solely just to feed that massive ego and cocktail weeny so you can go home to the syphilis girl and play doctor every night. I’m here to stop that….I’m here to give the fans what they want!

Johnny Clash: If the fans want a five oclock nap than yes! you are here to give them what they want! I am sick and tired of hearing the same old crap pour out of your mouth. Yes we had the great big plan to create True Wrestling Icons. Now only a stable but an empire. We ran NYCCW we were close to running MPW but what happened Rage? Just like every other fed you have touched you got scared. You got scared of failure. You took your ball and went home. Typical Ryan Styles. You cracked under pressure. You know that your last World Title reign, the place shut down an hour later.

[The fans yell OH! as they boo Clash]

Bob Herman: He's right though.

Johnny Clash: You didn't even get to pour your first glass of celebritory metimucil and the place was done. Maybe they knew it was bad for business or maybe they had no faith in you. It's kinda like the time where.. oh yeah! it was last month. You finally won a title here in MPW. So what did you do? Naturally you ran. You saw a challenge up ahead named Bliss and Drake Hunter and you handed in the title belt and went home. Then surprising yet another big Rage return! It's getting old Rage. You wanted to retire this time but I stopped you. I need this match, you need this match the world needs this match. It's almost one year in the making Rage. Next week its me and you inside the demonic structure known as Hell in a Cell. And I am no Aidan Caine. I'm not a push over. Corporate isn't on your side this time to give you the extra push and the briefcase. You can pour all the chocolate milk powder down the toilet and call it my fiance's ashes as you want, you still don't intimidate me. Thanks by the way. I won the title using that briefcase. You would have just shut this place down if you used it. Bravo. This is more then Rage versus Johnny Clash no no no this is ego versus ego. Maybe you can look back on this match ten years from now and think.. "wow I never should have left TWI because I was destined for greatness. Now i sit next to the vegetable known as Trey Baxter eating my food through a straw. Getting ready for my big return!"

Rage: ENOUGH! You say you are tired of the same old crap that I say or do?!? Well I am tired of the same old shit that you say every single week. Old joke here….can’t carry a fed here…..has corporate in his back pocket here…..THAT’S IT!

[Rage gets right in Clash’s face.]

Rage: Everything I have done in my career I am proud because I have fought tooth and nail to earn it! I didn’t win my first world title by defeating a woman who couldn’t even show up. I didn’t retain it over and over by facing dora the explorer either! I have faced the best that this business has ever had to offer…and what have you done outside of fucking a buffalo in your career? Oh what….you beat a sock puppet and roided up nazi in a defunct fed? Or wait you beat Trey Baxter for the title on your 67th try. You say I am afraid….there is absolutely NOTHING in this world I am afraid of. I have put people in hospitals just because I felt like it…….I’m sure your wife remembers it well. That day I saw someone terrified….the same person I see before me right now. A scared little child not knowing what to do…so all he can do is try to have the loudest voice in the room but that is never good enough because there is always someone better. You….all you do is sit and complain and talk about what you should do rather than actually doing it! Never having the balls to take that leap yourself.

[Rage backs away.]

Rage: I remember my first night in NYCCW seeing this hot shot kid I thought could take that leap….but the problem is John you forgot how to jump. You talk about this demonic structure that you and I will be inside. Little boy you have no idea at all. You are stepping into that ring with the most sadistic son of a bitch to ever be in this business. Like you used to say John….I don’t fear you….I fear for you……because at the end you’ll be laying in your blood after taking your One Last Run!

[Johnny rubs his chin hair and a smile emerges on his face]

Johnny Clash: I guess we can really go back and forth all night he said she said. The truth of the matter is this. Next week is the final chapter. Next week is when I will finally end your god forsaken career once and for all. Next week I....

[Johnny kicks Rage in the gut and smirks as he signals for the Bloodline]

Thomas Simon: Look out hes got him!

[as Johnny lifts Rage over his head Rage squirms out behind him and Johnny turns around. Rage goes to deliver a running Knee but Johnny puts on the brakes and jumps back and slides out of the ring. Rage grabs on to the ropes and looks at Johnny who is walking up the ramp still smiling]
Rage: I will see you in the Hell in a Cell!

[Rage throws the microphone down as Crying like a bitch hits. The fans cheer him on as the scene cuts]

Match 7

[The beginning of "Chalk Outline" by Three Days Grace bursts through the loud speakers and the lights begin to flash on the entrance ramp, and suddenly familiar images of the "Punk" Drake Hunter begin flashing on the screen. The man himself walks out from the back with his arms outstretched wide as he takes a few steps out into the light, a look of pure arrogance spread across his face. Drake Hunter looks around for a bit before he brings his arms close to his head and executes his signature "Sweet Dreams" taunt. There are massive boos resounding from the crowd, although there are a few cheers mixed in there, and Drake takes a few steps forward before he spreads his arms wide once again, setting off a set of fireworks as he heads down to the ring.]

Thomas Simon: And here comes the number one contender, cocky as ever.

Bob Herman: Hey, he has all the reason in the world to be cocky. He ’s the number one contender, he ’s young, he ’s handsome, And he ’s got Bliss.

Thomas Simon: Maybe.

[The crowd hears intro of "Careless Whisper" Start up. purple-pink strobe lights & fog go off at the top of the ramp. A figure appears in the smoke. The fog clears to show Bliss. She winks at the crowd and flashes a smile Bliss flips her hair and starts down the ramp in a slow strut. She gets to the ring and pulls herself up to the ropes She grabs a hold of the top rope and flips herself into the ring. She walks toward the Corner and pulls herself to raise an arm to the crowd (crowd cheers) Bliss moves to the opposite corner and does the same (crowd cheers) She moves to the centre and goes into a split.]

Thomas Simon: And there is the currently Sin City Champion.

Bob Herman: Uh …it ’s …I …I ’m sorry, what were you saying?

Thomas Simon: Keep it in your pants.

[ “Save Me ” begins on the PA, brining the crowd to it ’s feet as Roxi parts the curtain. Roxi wastes no time charging to the ring and sliding under the ropes. She then makes a bee line for BOTH Drake and Bliss attempting to fight them both. She punches at both, but soon they swarm her and take the advantage. Drake sends Roxi into the ropes and he and Bliss go for a double clothesline. Roxi ducks on the rebound and nails Drake with a kick to the gut, and then a shot for Bliss before hitting a dropkick that sends Drake out onto the floor. ]

Thomas Simon: Roxi is a woman possessed tonight!

[ Roxi begins a stare down with Bliss, and the two come face to face. Trash talk and shoving begin, but before it goes any further, Drake interupts with a forearm to Roxi ’s back, dropping her. The crowd boos. ]

Bob Herman: Damn. Just when it was getting good.

[ Drake looks down at Roxi and then at Bliss and mouths “Get her ”. Bliss and Drake begin stomping Roxi for a while, then Bliss goes to pick up Roxi when “Massacre “ by Escape the Fate hits and World Champion Ash Soulfate runs down the aisle, dropping the world title mid run and he slides into the ring. Drake is there to meet him but Ash fights from his knees with punches to the gut, which drive Drake back. Finally on his feet, Ash blocks an incoming punch from Drake and responds with his own. Bliss comes in and grabs Ash from behind, and Drake takes a free shot. Then another. Drake backs up a few steps, and comes in for a big one, but Ash is able to shuck off Bliss and then backdrop Drake over the top rope. ]

Thomas Simon: And there goes Drake again!

[ Bliss gets back up, and charges Ash, but she is also back dropped over the top rope to the floor, where Drake is there is break her fall. ]

Thomas Simon: And Bliss is on the floor!

[ Roxi is back up and staring at Ash, who nods and Roxi hit ’s the ropes, and Ash backdrops HER over to top and onto Drake and Bliss! ]

Thomas Simon: This is out of control.

Bob Herman: Don ’t you just love it!

[ Ash looks around at the cheering fans and then he himself pulls back on the top rope and springs himself over the ropes ont Drake and Bliss! The fans explode in cheers. ]

Thomas Simon: The World champion takes to the sky!

[Ash and Roxi throw their respective opponents back into the ring and follow suit. The referee FINALLY steps in and attempts to get order in the bout, separating the two teams to respective corners. Roxi steps out on to the apron, and Bliss does the same in her corner. Drake and Ash begin circling. ]

Thomas Simon: And the main event on Road to Glory has come early!

Bob Herman: I love it! Here we go!

[ Drake and Ash go around before Drake, having made it back to his corner, tags in Bliss. The crowd boos.]

Thomas Simon: What a coward!

Bob Herman: Ha-ha, what strategy!

[ Drake points to his own head and then smirks at Ash, who returns the favor. Bliss looks none too happy about the way she was tagged, but Drake simply motions for her to get in and “take care of it ” Bliss angrily enters the ring and she and Ash circle. Ash looks over and Roxi is vehemently demanding a tag. Ash smirks, walks over and tags Roxi into the match. Roxi enters and she and Bliss circle. Bliss and Roxi circle each other for a moment, then lock up, and Roxi shoots into a side headlock. He cranks on it, as if she ’s churning butter, and Bliss drops to a knee. Quickly regaining his vertical base, Bliss backs Roxi into the ropes and tries to shoot her off, but Roxi keeps the headlock and pulls Bliss back to the center. Roxi continues to crank on the hold, and Bliss again backs into the ropes, but this time holds on, forcing the referee to step in and break the headlock. Roxi breaks, smirking at Bliss. The two circle again and lock up, and this time it ’s Bliss with a side headlock. Roxi struggles, but soon reverses into a hammer lock, then applies and armbar. Bliss leans her forearm into Roxi ’s chin and backs her into the ropes, before getting closer and shooting Roxi off into the ropes. On the rebound. Roxi takes Bliss down with a shoulder block. Roxi hits the ropes closest to her corner and Bliss rolls onto her stomach, forcing Roxi to jump over. On the rebound, Bliss attempts a hiptoss, but Roxi blocks. Another attempt, another block. Thinking quickly, Bliss fires a quick strike to Roxi ’s gut, doubling her over. Bliss places her leg on Roxi ’s head and backflips off of it, before tripping Roxi with a drop toe hold. Bliss seamlessly floats into a grounded head lock, cranking it himself, before Roxi is able to counter with a head scissors. Bliss kips up out of the scissors, and Roxi rolls towards his corner, before standing back up. The crowd applauds.]

Thomas Simon: Excellent chain wrestling by Bliss and Roxi.

Bob Herman: Bliss could have easily embarrassed Roxi right there, but she chose not to.

Thomas Simon: I don ’t know, if I was scoring this match, Roxi would be ahead.

Bob Herman: That ’s ridiculous! If you wanna score this on points, Bliss is WAY ahead.

[Roxi looks ready to go again, but Bliss tags in Drake. The crowd boos as Hunter enters and prepares to lock up with Roxi. He does so, and immediately overpowers Roxi and fires her into a neutral corner with a shove. More boos as Drake flexes in front of Roxi, who seems less than impressed. Another lock up and Drake applies a headlock to Roxi. Roxi instantly backs into the ropes and shoots Drake off. On the Rebound, Drake bowls over Roxi with a shoulder block. More boos as Roxi rolls away clutching the back of her head. Roxi then nods, calmly walks over and tags in Ash. ]

Thomas Simon: And here comes Ash!

Bob Herman: Uh-oh.

Thomas Simon: If Drake Hunter wants to test his strength, here ’s a man to do it.

[Ash steps in with a smile on his face and circles before locking up with Drake. Ash locks in a side headlock of his own, and he cranks it. Hunter fires some shots to Ash ’s abdomen before, in an impressive display of strength, lifts Ash up and takes him down with a belly-to-back suplex!]

Bob Herman: Oh yeah!

Thomas Simon: Wow. What strength by Hunter.

[Drake Looks pleased as Ash clutches his back and gets up. The two men lock up again and Drake this time applies a headlock. Ash raises a finger to the sky as if to say “watch this ” before lifting Drake up like a child, and tossing him to the mat a few feet away! Ash smiles, as Drake looks bewildered and embarrassed.]

Thomas Simon: And Ash just tossed Drake Hunter like a small boy!

Bob Herman: What?! No!

[Drake stands and demands a test of strength. Openly mocking Ash, trying to get him to take the challenge. Ash nods in agreement, and the two lock fingers, Drake ’s right, Ash ’s left, then the opposite. The two struggle up a moment to gain control and then the arms go up, and Drake appears to be winning.][/color]

Bob Herman: Yeah!

[Drake tries mightily to get Ash broken down, but Ash will not fall. His knees bend slightly, but he remains on his feet. Ash gets back to fully standing, in an effort to power his way back. Ash stands fully, and begins to use his height as leverage and Drake begins to crumble, but at the last second kicks Ash in the gut, doubling him over and drawing boos. Hunter fires off forearms to Ash ’s back and drives him a knee. He grabs Ash by the head and leads him to the Drake/Bliss corner and tags Bliss. Bliss jumps to the top rope and comes down with an axe handle, staggering Ash. Bliss then begins kicking at Ash ’s quad, trying to drop him. Ash backs into a corner and Bliss charges with fists. Ash fights back, pushing Bliss away. Bliss comes right back with more fists and kicks to the leg. Ash again pushes Bliss away, and again Bliss comes right back, but Ash catches Bliss in the face with a boot. Ash quickly makes the tag to Roxi, who comes in and clotheslines Bliss as she stands. Bliss slowly gets back up, and Roxi chops him and Bliss falls back in the Ash/Roxi corner. Roxi drapes Bliss ’s arms over the top rope and unleashes a chop. Then another. Then another. Then one more, and Bliss staggers away. Roxi grabs her, but Bliss grabs a handful of hair and spins Roxi against the ropes, before whipping her off. Ash complains to the ref about the handful, which enables Drake Hunter to low bridge Roxi and send her sprawling out onto the floor.]

Thomas Simon: And Drake Hunter goes to the shortcut.

Bob Herman: Nonsense! Roxi is clearly just clumsy. She fell out of the ring because she ’s uncoordinated.

Thomas Simon: You are reaching.

Bob Herman: Don ’t judge me.

[Bliss at this point has exited the ring, and lifted Roxi to her feet. She drapes Roxi ’s arm over her back and waistlocks her, then drives Roxi back-fist to the apron. Then again. Then one more time before Roxi falls back down clutching her back. Bliss lifts Roxi back up and tosses her back inside before dragging Roxi towards her corner and tagging Hunter back in. Bliss stomps Roxi ’s back as she leaves. Roxi slowly gets back up before Drake grabs him and shoots a forearm into her back. Then again. Roxi drops to her knees and Hunter drives a forearm into her back again. Roxi groans in pain as Hunter then simply WALKS on her back. Roxi crawls to the ropes to get back up, but is stopped by multiple kicks square in the back. Roxi ’s arms fall limp over the middle rope and Drake plants his foot in Roxi ’s back and pulls back on the top rope. The ref instantly begins the count 1 …2 …..3 …..4 ….And Hunter breaks. Roxi falls back onto the mat and Hunter covers 1 …2 …kickout. Hunter grabs Roxi in a front headlock and nails a few forearms to the back before attempting to lead Roxi back to his corner. Roxi fires some right hands to the gut of Hunter, then some punches to the head. Hunter reels back from the blows and Roxi attempts an Irish whip. Hunter reverses, and shoots Roxi in. Hunter attempts a clothesline, but Roxi ducks. She spins around and hits more punches to Drake ’s face. Roxi kicks him in the gut and pulls him into piledriver position. Roxi lifts, but his back is still injured. Drake quickly recovers, kicks Roxi in the gut, and hooks her in suplex position. He lifts, and holds. After about 15 seconds, Hunter drops with his delayed vertical suplex, and he floats into the cover 1 …2.3 Kickout! ]

Thomas Simon: And another near-fall for The team of Drake Hunter and Bliss.

Thomas Simon: If Roxi does not tag Ash back in very quickly, this match isn ’t going to last much longer.

[Hunter lifts Roxi to her feet, shooting some forearms to keep her groggy, and leads Roxi to the corner, and tag Bliss back in. Drake holds Roxi in a front face lock, as Bliss comes off the top with another axe handle. Roxi drops to his knees and clutches his back as Bliss picks her back up. Bliss cinches up Roxi for a suplex, and takes her over. Roxi howls in pain, and another cover. 1..2 ….Roxi rolls the shoulder. Bliss motions to the ref about the speed of the count, but he reassures Bliss is was a 2. Bliss moves back in and attacks Roxi with another kick to the spine. Roxi yells before getting back to her feet with the aid of the ropes. A solid forearm shot send Roxi to a neutral corner where Bliss whips Roxi as hard as she can across the ring. Roxi hits the corner hard and face-plants from the force. The crowd audibly moans along with Roxi. Bliss comes over and steps on Roxi ’s back and stands there, holding the top rope. The ref again counts 1 …2 ….3..4.. And Bliss breaks. Bliss drags Roxi towards his corner and tags Hunter back in. Drake Steps in and shoots Roxi off with a whip. Hunter puts his head down for a back drop, but Roxi scouts it, and hooks Hunter and delivers the DDT!]

Thomas Simon: Counter by Roxi!

Thomas Simon: She ’s got to make that tag now!

Bob Herman: C ’mon Drake!

[Neither is moving as Norman Dafore begins his count 1 … …2 …..3 …..4 …..5 ….6 …..7. Hunter moves, he staggers up, and Roxi is now crawling towards Ash. She ’s just about there when Hunter nails Ash, which draws him into the ring. The referee tries to hold Ash back, which allows Hunter to pull Roxi back towards his corner and drop an elbow on Roxi ’s spine.]

Thomas Simon: And this is getting dire now for Roxi Johnson.

Thomas Simon: Drake Hunter did the smart thing, and prevented a tag. It ’s obviously the game plan, keep Roxi in the ring.

[Drake tags Bliss back in and Drake holds Roxi on place on her stomach on the mat, as Bliss hits the ropes, tumbles and connects with the rolling thunder across the back of Roxi. The referee ushers Drake out of the ring, all while Williams has Daye pinned.]

Bob Herman: That stupid referee!

Thomas Simon: After all the cheating done by Hunter?

Bob Herman: There ’s a pinfall going on!

[The ref finally turns around, and sees the pinfall, he dives into position. 1 ….2 …ASH PULLS BLISS OFF! The ref now has to usher Ash out of the ring allowing Hunter to sneak in as he and Bliss attack. They whip Roxi in, and both kick her in the gut on the rebound. They go for a double suplex, but Roxi elbows both out of desperation, causing them to straighten, Roxi grabs both of them and hits A DOUBLE FLATLINER!]

Thomas Simon: Double Fatliner! What a counter by Roxi Johnson!

Bob Herman: No!

[Drake rolls out of the ring, on the impact. And Bliss is down, and seemingly out. Roxi too, does not move. Dafoe starts his count 1 … … ….2 … … …3 … …..4 … …..5 … …...6 … …..7 by this point, Drake is back on the apron with one arm extended, the other holding his head from the Flatliner. Bliss has begun to crawl to him. The crowd is stomping and clapping as Roxi ever so slowly crawls towards Ash. ]

Thomas Simon: The race is on! Who will make the tag first?

[Inch by inch.]

Thomas Simon: These women are exhausted..

[Bliss reaches up and tags Drake ]

Bob Herman: Yes!

[Drake quickly comes in, trying to stop Roxi]

Bob Herman: Get her!

[But he ’s too late as Roxi MAKES THE TAG!]

Bob Herman: Oh no!

[Ash, fresh as a daisy enters, and points at Drake the crowd yells “YOU! ” Drake attempts a right hand but it ’s blocked, and Ash drops him with a headbutt. Bliss comes in and gets clotheslined for her troubles. Drake is back up and he swings and misses with a clothesline Ash catches him from behind and nails him with an atomic drop! Bliss comes in with a jumping forearm that stuns Ash, allowing Bliss to continue striking Ash with all she ’s got. Drake gets back up and joins Bliss in the attack, they whip Ash into the ropes, but on the rebound they attempt a double clothesline and Ash ducks. Their momentum takes them near the ropes, but as they turn around, Ash clotheslines both of them over the top rope!]

Thomas Simon: Ash is on fire here!

Bob Herman: Come on, guys!

[Roxi comes back in and whispers something to Ash. Ash nods as Roxi hits the ropes behind him. Ash turns, and catches Roxi, presses her over his head and throws him onto Drake and Bliss on the floor!]

Thomas Simon: Great teamwork by Ash and Roxi!

[Roxi slowly stands and tosses Drake back into the ring to a waiting Ash. Bliss slowly gets up, and sees Roxi getting back into the ring, so he nails Roxi in the back and throws her into the steel steps!]

Thomas Simon: And Roxi Johnson may have just been removed from this tag match!

Bob Herman: Good!

Thomas Simon: But Ash is still ready to go!

[Drake stands and walks into another Ash headbutt. Stunned, he stumbles into the vacant Roxi/Ash corner. Ash moves in, but then he drops as Bliss comes in with a chop block to the knee! Ash falls clutching his leg, as Bliss begins to stomp on it. Drake recovers and continues the attack, as the ref escorts Bliss out of the ring. Hunter lifts Ash to his feet, and then scoops up Ash and body slams him. After another stomp, Hunter pulls Ash to his knees, but Ash fires off punches to Drake ’s gut. Ash begins to drive Drake back, and gets back up, but Drake kicks him in the knee, then hits a lightning quick Kneeling DDT Drake makes the cover, but Ash rolls the shoulder out at 2. Bliss extends her hand for a tag, and Drake goes for it, but Roxi comes back and pulls Bliss off the apron, and Bliss hits face-first on the apron!]

Thomas Simon: How is Roxi even standing?

[ Roxi slides back in and begins to fight with Drake and the two trade punches. Roxi gets the better and goes for a whip, but Drake reverses, and brings Roxi back into a Samoan Drop! Roxi howls in pain and he rolls out of the ring. Drake stands, smirks and goes back over to Ash who is just getting back up. Drake Grabs Ash, but is NAILED by a Pele kick!]

Bob Herman: NO!

Thomas Simon: He just knocked Drake Hunter’s block off!

[Ash stands and waits for a groggy Drake to do so as well. Bliss, back into the ring and charges an unsuspecting Ash only to be met and Clothesline from Roxi! Bliss rolls out of the ring, leaving Drake alone. He stands, woozy, and Roxi springs off the top rope and connects with a Ray of Hope! Drake stumbles back into Ash, who then lifts Drake up and connects with a Adios, Motherfucker! Ash makes the cover 1…2…3!]

Thomas Simon: Ash and Roxi have done it!

Bob Herman: NOOOOOOOO!

Thomas Simon: Calm down there Darth.

Bob Herman: Shut up Simon! Shut your big, stupid face!

[Bliss pops up and pushes Roxi. She pushes Bliss back. The two start exchanging and roll out of the ring. They begin fighting all the way up the ramp and through the curtain as they make their way backstage. Inside the ring Ash looks out at the stage as he turns around and is hit with the DIA from Drake!]

Thomas Simon: Oh my god! Drake just hit it! this could be Ash's fate next week!

[The fans boo as Drake looks down and picks up the World Title. He throws it on top of Ash's body and leaves the ring. Dixon, Cable and Kuk meet Drake halfway down and help him up the ramp after a gruling match. A microphone is heard turning on as well as breathing]

Bob Herman: Ash is trying to stand!

Thomas Simon: And he has a microphone!

Ash Soulsfate: Hey! Hunter! .... I hope you savored that moment.

[Ash gets to his feet and uses the ropes to help him up]

Ash Soulsfate: That will be the only time you have your hands on the MPW World Championship because at Road 2 Glory you won't even get a chance to see the gold. I will retain this title and I will shut down this little operation you have going.

Drake Hunter: Bring it Ash! Bring it!

Ash Soulsfate: Because I am the MPW World Heavyweight Champion! ADIOS MOTHERFUCKER!

[Ash holds up the World Title as the fans cheer. Massacre by Escape the Fate hits as Ash climbs to the top rope and holds the belt up again]

Thomas Simon: Goodnight everyone! We will see you at Road 2 Glory!
