[The pyro hits as the fans get on their feet. The theme song to Reloaded continues to play as the scene cuts through the fans to the Announcers table]

Thomas Simon: Welcome to Sunday Night Reloaded! We have a wild night scheduled for you MPW fans tonight as we are on the road to High Stakes 2!

Richie Rhodes: Also tonight we will be revealing the second inductee in to the Hall of Fame Class of 2013!

Thomas Simon: I can't wait to hear that announcement!

Richie Rhodes: Let's get the show started

Thomas Simon: we have two of the newest members of the MPW roster going head to head to kick off the night!

Match 1

[When the opening of the song hits, Soul walks slowly from behind the curtain, as he surveys the crowd. Though still hidden in shadows, his silhouette reveals impressive physique. Once the lyrics start, Soul walks deliberately to the ring.]

Honey Winters: The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in tonight at 255 lbs... SOUL SHADOW!!

[The cloak's crowl obscures his face, but few in the audience notice as their eyes are drawn to his battle scared arms. In time with the bridge, the wrestler leaps on to the apron, pulling himself onto the second turnbuckle in one smooth motion. Looking at the crowd, he flips the cowl back just as the chorus begins. For a moment he scans the arena, soaking in the crowd s adulation. Finally, he jumps over the top rope and into the ring, flipping his cloak to the attendants. The music cuts out as Soul bounces off the ring ropes, giving them a quick test as he awaits the start of the match.]

Thomas Simon: Well, ladies and gentlemen, this match is for two newcomers. Both are from Boston!

Richie Rhodes: Whoop-dee-do, Tommy.

["Breed" by Nirvana strikes the speakers. The crowd pops to their feet with the excitement of the returning Chris Radke. He walks out onto the stage wearing a Bad Religion t-shirt and looks around at the thousands on their feet. He gives a quick smirk.]

Honey Winters: And from Boston, Massachusetts... Weighing in at 215 lbs... CHRRRRIS RAAADKE!!!!!!

[He smiles at the camera as he continues on his path to the ring. He gets up on the ropes and raises his arms up. The crowd pops again and he enters the ring and waits for the match to begin.]

DING DING DING

Thomas Simon: Well, Chris Radke is returning to wrestling after a year long hiatus and has signed here in MPW alongside his friend Brandon Nytrus.

Richie Rhodes: What about Soul Shadow? Do we have anything about him? I'm so sick of hearing about this punk...

Thomas Simon: Well, I um...

Richie Rhodes: Lucky for you, I have the info, maybe you should do your homework, Tommy. This guy is a former world champion. A former tag team champion. He's now coming back and looking for a new shot! This guy needs more credit!

[They circle each other. Chris comes at him with a couple of kicks to the side of the leg. Shadow grabs his leg after the second kick. He hits a dragon screw leg twist. He falls to the mat. Shadow picks him up and presses him against the turnbuckle. He uses his foot and shoves it up into Radke's chin. He pushes the foot further up. The referee pulls him off and warns him. He pushes the referee out of the way and suddenly is hit with a drop kick from Radke. He goes tumbling to the ground. He quickly stands up and then is shot with some backhand chops to the chest. Shadow comes back with some punches to the face. Both men connect with some shots. Radke with back chops, Shadow with punches. Shadow gets the upper hand with punches he Irish whips Radke off the ropes. When Radke bounces off, he comes back with a flying elbow to the nose. Both men lay down.]

Thomas Simon: What a move by Radke and he's back in it!

[Radke sits up, holding his forehead. He uses the second rope to stand up and looks over at Shadow. He looks up at the top rope. Chris stands up and climbs up to the top rope. He stands at the top and puts his arms out to the side. Shadow rolls out of the ring before Radke could jump. Chris positions himself and then leaps from the top rope and connects with a moonsault to the outside and lands on top of Soul Shadow. Both men lay there in pain. The referee begins the count.]

Thomas Simon: What a move by Radke! All the way to the outside!

Richie Rhodes: The referee's counting! He's at 4 already!

[Soul Shadow is beginning to move. Radke is at his feet, leaning on the barricade on the outside. Chris walks over to Shadow and picks him up, but before he could roll him in, Soul punches him in the face. He slams Radke's face into the apron. He throws him into the barricade now, at the count of 7. Shadow rolls in the ring and rolls right back out. He makes his way over to Chris and picks him up. He drags him and throws him into the ring. He rolls in afterwards and takes a quick pin.]

1...2... Kick out.

[Shadow stands up and kicks Radke in the stomach. He picks him up now and puts him on his shoulders. He runs and connects with a rolling fireman's carry drop. He stands and smiles. He gets down and locks on an Arm-Trap Crossface. Chris yells out. He reaches for the ropes but he's in the middle of the ring. Before it is on for to long, Chris rolls over and counters into a pin.]

1...2... Kick out!

[With the kick out, he breaks out of the hold. Chris rolls over so he's under the ropes. Soul stands up and walks over to Radke. He picks him up and goes for the Soul Crusher. Radke spins out of it and goes for the 667 but Shadow spins and lands on his feet. Shadow and Zradke run at each other and connect with a double clothesline. Both men lie in the center of the ring and just lay there. The crowd cheers in appreciation.]

Thomas Simon: What a sequence by these two newcomers here in MPW!

Richie Rhodes: What a match!

[The ref reaches the count of 8 before both men stand up. They exchange spaghetti legged shots to the face. The crowd cheers "This is awesome!" while they trade shots back and forth. Shadow hits three straight punches to the face and leaves Radke groggy. He bounces off the ropes and is almost hit with a Superkick but Shadow ducks underneath and goes for a roll-up.]

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

DING DING DING

Honey Winters: Here is your winner... SOUL SHADOWW!!!!!!

[Shadow gets up after the pin. He has his arms raised by the referee as "Made of Scars" plays from the PA. He leaves the ring. The crowd cheers in appreciation.]

Thomas Simon: These guys have a hell of a debut here in MPW under their belt!

Richie Rhodes: They definitely have bright futures ahead of them, Tommy.

[Chris is left in the ring. Sitting on his knees. Shadow's music dies out and the crowd cheers for Radke. He smiles and applauds the crowd. He leaves the ring as the crowd gives him a standing ovation.]

Thomas Simon: Yeah! here we go!

Richie Rhodes: Wake me up when it's over

Thomas Simon: Here comes the King! Johnny Clash!

[Johnny appears at the top of the 100 section in the crowd. He is sporting the Resistance T-shirt with the sleeves ripped off and black jeans. He walks down the aisle steps and stands by at the barricade. He looks around and hops over. He jumps on to the apron and hops over the ropes. He climbs to the middle rope and raises his arms to the fans]

Thomas Simon: We saw a great display of respect last week between Johnny and his former mentor Madd Katt

Richie Rhodes: Personally I think Madd Katt needs to just go away. Pass the torch already

Thomas Simon: What!? He has already passed the torch! You heard the man he said he doesn't want the spotlight!

Richie Rhodes: Yeah by saying that, it means he does

[Johnny takes a microphone and stand sin the middle of the ring]

Johnny Clash: Last week I came out here to confront my former mentor about retirement. We all know we didn't want to see him go and with your help we convinced him not to. Just yet.

[The fans cheer]

Johnny Clash: Now regardless of winner or loser, this will be Madd Katt's final match not only in MPW but forever.

[The fans now begin to boo]

Johnny Clash: No no, it's no reason to boo the man has lived an incredible life and his career is unmatched to any others in this business. The man is a true legend and deserves every thing he has ever earned. The man paved the way for me and all of the guys in the back. I was lucky enough to be trained by the man himself and I know his every move I...

[One Step Closer by Linkin Park hits and the fans cheer as Madd Katt walks out in jeans and a cowboy hat with a MPW shirt on. He smiles as he climbs in to the ring and takes another microphone]

Madd Katt: Ya know Johnny... before you continue know this one thing. I have tought you everything you know but I certainly didn't teach you everything that I know.

[The fans cheer as Johnny smiles]

Madd Katt: I have tricks up my sleeve you have never seen before and stuff I have been waiting to do my entire career. At High Stakes we will leave it all on the line and we will give the people what they want to see... WRESTLING

[The fans go crazy and cheer]

Johnny Clash: Oh we will give them wrestling Katt we will do what we do best and steal the show. But I have to be honest here... I mean I have done it before and will do it again..

Madd Katt: and what is that exactly?

Johnny Clash: Send an old man to the retirement home with a loss.

[The fans let out an OHHH!!! as Madd Katt smiles and nods]

Madd Katt: I see how it is Johnny but just know that I have nothing to lose here and I will leave it all on the line so when I get sent back to the "retirement home" I have something to look back at for my career. I am not going to throw this career away just to "pass the torch" to you Johnny. You already took that torch and ran with it. Neither of us have anything to lose and will leave it all on the line out there at High Stakes. So before you even for a second consider sending me back to the retirement home a loser, just remember I will take you out just like I brought you in to this business.

[The fans get hyped again and let out another OHHH as the two drop their microphones and come face to face with each other. They mouth off before Johnny pats Madd Katt on the shoulder and leaves the ring, hops the barricade and walks up the crowd aisles]

Thomas Simon: what words by these two wow!

Richie Rhodes: things seriously just heated up for High Stakes Wow

Match 2

[Prelude, 21/12 by AFI hits as the fans cheer. Aeryn Ashfield comes out to the ramp and raises her arms. She walks down the ramp and climbs up on to the steel steps. She climbs through the ropes and poses in the ring while waiting for her opponent]

Honey Winters: making her way to the ring, from London England, Aeryn Ashfield!

["Play dead" cues up as Laila appears at the top of the ramp, a black pagan type robe covering her entire body. The lights are dim except for a muted spotlight that lights only her. As the base kicks up and Bjork yells out Laila lifts her head and throws the robe off, her mouth mimicking the singer. She then eyes the crowd and struts in time with the music. once she gets to the ring, she climbs the steps, enters the ring. Standing in the middle she eyes the crowd once more before throwing her head back once more. ]

Honey Winters: and her opponent from Queenstown, Singapore, Laila!

Thomas Simon: Let's start this match!

[Laila lands a cheap shot early as she beats down Aeryn, forcing him into the turnbuckle as Aeryn dodges a running elbow and goes to the second rope, looking to hit a hurricanrana early. But Laila counters, and just in the instant hits a massive powerbomb that has him already in immense control of the match.]

Thomas Simon: what a move by Laila

Bob Herman: Aeryn will pick it up don't worry

[Laila locks in a quick submission hold as Aeryn tries to squirm free of the leg lock and does, but Laila is right back on the attack, stomping on Aeryn’s leg as she locks in a leg lock once more. Laila lands a leg drop and attempts a two count, but Aeryn kicks out and pulls himself up on the ropes, waiting for Laila to charge as she plays possum and pulls down on the ropes, hurling Laila out of the ring.]

Thomas Simon: What a tricky move there!

Bob Herman: That looked real nice

[Aeryn poses on the apron for a second before she waits for Laila to get to her feet, flying high in the air and hitting a Aeryn body, and as both men land on the outside, Aeryn makes it to her feet first, looking for her finisher. But Laila dodges, and then as she gets to her feet, hits a rolling elbow that almost renders Aeryn unconscious. Laila hurls Aeryn back in the ring, follows up with a pin that gets a two count, and then picks him back up, setting up for another rolling elbow.]

Bob Herman: Ready to hit another move!

Thomas Simon: What impact!

[But this time, more aware of her predicament, Aeryn dodges, running to the ropes and looking for a clothesline. Laila ducks, and on Aeryn’s rebound, Laila hits an elbow to her jaw, stopping him in mid-run, and then Laila goes to the ropes himself, hitting an elbow of her own. Aeryn is down, and Laila looks to lock in the sharpshooter, only for it to be spun out of by Aeryn, who then gets to her feet and looks for an enzugiri. Laila ducks once more, and as Aeryn is down, Laila hits an elbow drop to her leg, and then locks in the Reign Supreme making Aeryn tap out for the victory.]

Thomas Simon: What a win!

Honey Winters: here is your winner, Laila!

[Laila gets her hand raised in victory but snatches it away from the referee. She walks back over to Aeryn and picks her up]

Thomas Simon: Oh no! she's going to try to injure her just like she did to Angel Kash!

Richie Rhodes: Maybe she deserves it!

[Laila yells at the fans who boo her as she sets up Aeryn for the Bewitched]

Thomas Simon: Oh come on! Stop this!

[Laila goes to hit the Bewitched as the fans buzz. "Mz Hyde" by Halestorm hits as the fans cheer. Chrissy Starr is in the crowd by the gate entrance in her Resistance T-shirt and black leather pants. She starts to make her way down and hops over the guard rail. She slides in to the ring and Laila drops Aeryn and slides under the bottom rope retreating up the ramp. She smiles and shakes her finger saying No at Chrissy Starr who holds on to the top ropes staring at Laila]

Thomas Simon: Chrissy makes the save helping Aeryn!

Richie Rhodes: you know this Resistance "justice" crap is getting old already. I wanted to see Laila finish Aeryn off

Thomas Simon: I don't know how to take that comment Richie. We will be right back folks!

~The scene begins backstage in the Tingley Coliseum in a barely light room. The light source is that of a single candle that aluminates a small corner to where Crow sits against a wall. Crow waves his hand back and forth over the flame as he feels the warmth of the candle against his hand. Without looking up, he begins to talk.

Crow: “How you define a win is much more than wins and loses. It's about what happens after a match. Do you let the loss affect you both mentally and physically? Or do you brush it off and continue with your life? It's easy to lose a match, but if you let that loss drag you down then your opponent truly won.

You won our match Roxi. Congratulations on the win. I was so occupied with what was going on outside of the ring that I lost my train of thought. Don’t think that we won’t be seeing one another any time soon. We will, in fact, be meeting once again in the near future. Either with me burying your dead carcass in the ground after Iconic Aggression finishes you off, or when I come up behind you and slit your throat after you finish getting your revenge. Either way, you may have won the battle……but I’m going to win the war.”

~Crow pauses from talking as he moves his hand away from the flame and glance over to the camera.

Crow: “I’m not here to talk about last week’s match, though. I’m here to send out an invitation to all the lost souls here in MPW. And you know who you are. The one’s looking for direction. The outcast. The broken souls. The ones that are looking for enlightenment in a world that is just too confusing to understand. I offer my hand in friendship to you and I want to embrace you with open arms. I want to be by your side and teach you things that you thought never seemed possible. I want to open your eyes to a world that has been here all along, but you’ve been blind to see it. I want you to see and hear what I hear. I want to change you into who you truly were supposed to be.

See the problem is that there is no good and evil. There is no heaven and hell. These fairytales that have been forced down your throats since you were an infant so that you wouldn’t question of who we truly are. Society tells us how to act. How to dress. How to think and do. And if you don’t follow their laws of ethics, they shun you. They lock you away so that the rest of the world can’t embrace this new style of living. A style that has been lost to the depths of time. Everything that they have told you in life has been a lie. But I’m here to help.”

~An evil grin comes across Crow’s face as he glances back at the fire in front of him.

Crow: “You know how many people God kills in the bible? I mean if you add up all the floods and plagues and fire n' brimstone. All the "God smote".......you know how many people he kills?

Millions

And what about the devil? The big, scary devil. What do you think his body count comes to?

A paltry ten. The seven sons and three daughters of Job. And that's only after making a bet with God. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

Kinda raises a big question, don't you think? Between Heaven and hell.......which one should we really be afraid of?”

~The grin on Crow’s face soon goes away as Crow begins to hover his hand over the flame once again.

Crow: “It’s alright, though, my sheep. Sooner or later you’ll stop following the heard and the Shepard that leads you and tells you that everything is alright. You’ll finally understand that the wolf isn’t trying to eat you, but he’s actually trying to save you as the Shepard leads you off a cliff to fall to your deaths.

I’m giving you one opportunity. One chance at salvation. Take my offer and I promise you a change here in MPW. A change for the better for people like us. No longer will we be pushed around like rabid dogs. Today starts a new cause worth fighting for, the question is, are you ready to go down the rabbit hole? Because once the journey begins, there is no turning back.”

~Crow pauses his conversation with the masses as he picks up the candle and brings it up to his body. As the light merges over to Crow, you can see two figures standing next to him. Their faces are blended in with the darkness, unable to see any feature of who they truly are.

Crow: “As for the rest of you who will decide to fight my will. ….prepare to burn in my apocalypse.”

~The scene cuts to blackness as Crow blows the light out of the candle.

Match 3
#1 Contender for TV Title

Honey Winters: The following match is scheduled for one fall, and the winner will be crowned the Number One Contender to the MPW Television Championship. Introducing first, weighing in at 230 lbs. From Tampa, FL, he is “The Franchise” TAUFIK!!!

[“Awake and Alive” by Skillet starts to play throughout the arena as Taufik makes his way towards the entrance ramp. Taufik’s left knee is still bandaged, but Taufik walks down the ramp and interacts with the fans by bumping fists and even slapping their hands. Taufik gets to the end of the ramp and slides to the ring. Taufik throws his fist into the air as the fans cheer him on. Taufik heads to his corner as he awaits for his opponent...]

Thomas Simon: It look’s like Taufik has still yet to heal completely from the Gold Rush Tournament...

Richie Rhodes: That knee is going to be like a target in this match for Emi Yamamoto...

Thomas Simon: There is too much respect between these two to have to worry about that...

Richie Rhodes: Yeah, that respect plus a dollar will get you a something out of a vending machine...

Honey Winters: And his opponent, from Osaka, Japan. “The Millenium Pro Warrior”, EMI YAMAMOTO!!!

["Hekira no Sora e Izanaedo" echoes across the arena. The fans are on their feet in excitement as Emi Yamamoto reveals herself on the stage. She blows the fans a kiss and raises her hands to show her appreciation for their support. She skips down the ring waving to her fans with a smile on her face. After giving high fives to a couple of nearby fans, Emi jumps onto the ring apron where she turns to face the crowd. She blows them another kiss before she scissor jumps over the top rope and into the ring. She jumps onto the nearest turnbuckle and waves to her fans once more before jumping back onto the mat, turning around and giving the Akanbe gesture to her Taufik, and then laughing out loud...]

Thomas Simon: Both of these competitors look like they are game for tonight, don’t they Richie?

Richie Rhodes: When a shot at the Television Championship is on the line, you had better hope so...

[As Emi’s music fades, “Monster” by Skillet hits the PA, and it causes both Emi and Taufik to look up to the stage. Jason X, dressed in jeans and a black Jason X shirt, walks out onto the stage with his Television Championship over his shoulder. Jason grabs the title from his shoulder, and holds it up in the air to the boos of the fans. Jason places the Title back over his shoulder as he walks down the ramp, and around the ring. Jason walks up to the announce table, and sits in the empty seat next to Richie Rhodes, and puts on a headset. Both Taufik and Emi continue to watch Jason for a minute, leery of him being out at the ring. Taufik and Emi eventually settle in the ring, and the referee rings the bell to start the match]

Thomas Simon: Well folks, it looks like The Television Champion Jason X has decided to join the commentary team for this matchup...

Jason X: Correction, I have decided to grace you with my presence...

Thomas Simon: Oh boy, this is going to be fun...

[Taufik and Emi meet in the center of the ring, and shake hands as a show of respect. Taufik and Emi circle one another, and lock up in the middle of the ring. Taufik pulls Emi into a headlock. Taufik flips Emi over with a headlock takedown. Emi pulls her legs up and escapes from the headlock by wrapping her legs around Taufik’s head. Taufik pulls his head out of Emi’s legs and both of them get to their feet. Taufik goes in for a clothesline, but Emi ducks underneath it. Taufik turns back to Emi only to be hit with a knife edge chop to the chest. Emi grabs Taufik’s arm and pushes him against the ropes, and then attempt to whip him to the opposite ropes, but Taufik reverses and sends Emi instead. Emi rebounds and comes back with a headscissors takedown, that sends Taufik rolling out of the ring in front of the announce table and Jason X. Emi by the ropes waits for Taufik to stand on the outside. As he does, Emi springboards herself off of the top rope and nails Taufik on the outside with a HUGE springboard crossbody! Emi gets up quickly and poses for the fans as Jason stands up behind the announce table. Emi is distracted by this, and Jason points at her. Taufik in the meanwhile gets up to his feet, awaiting Emi to turn back around. As Emi turns around, she is hit by a big forearm shot by Taufik. Taufik grabs Emi by the head and tosses her back into the ring and Jason sits back down in his chair...]

Jason X: If those two know what’s good for them, they’d stay away from me and get their asses back in the ring...

Richie Rhodes: Well, at least you’re getting an up and close view of the action...

Jason X: Maybe, but do you want to wake me up when something interesting happens?

[Taufik climbs up onto the apron, and then up to the top rope. As Emi gets to her feet in the middle of the ring, Taufik leaps and nails Emi with a Flying Clothesline! Something goes wrong on the landing, and Taufik grabs his left knee, rolling around in pain. The referee checks on Taufik, who pulls himself back to the ropes. Emi gets up to her feet, and sees Taufik in pain. Taufik pulls himself up to his feet, and the referee asks is he can continue. The referee asks if he can continue, but Taufik waives him off and limps to the middle of the ring. Emi steps forward, and makes sure that Taufik is okay out of friendship, but Taufik waves her off too. Emi launches herself at Taufik, but he able able to hit her with a hip toss. Emi gets up and is hit with a clothesline by Taufik. Taufik limps over to Emi and picks her up. Taufik whips Emi to the the ropes. Emi rebounds, and comes back right into a belly to belly suplex. Taufik quickly falls on top of Emi and goes for the pin. 1... 2... KICKOUT! Taufik grabs Emi’s head and locks in a sleeper hold. Emi pulls at Taufik’s arms, but the hold is in tight, and she gets to her knees, causing Taufik to stand up behind her. Emi elbows Taufik’s bad knee, which causes him to release the sleeper hold. Emi stands up, turns, and nails Taufik with a step up enziguri! Taufik falls down to his knees, grabbing the back of his head with one hand and his knee with the other. Emi quickly gets up to her feet and heads over to the corner, climbing onto the top rope. As Taufik stands back, he limps while turning toward Emi. Emi launches herself off of the top rope, and hits Taufik with a Hurricanrana from the top rope! Emi crawls over to Taufik and hooks his leg for the pin! 1... 2... KICKOUT!]

Thomas Simon: Near fall for Emi Yamamoto there...

Richie Rhodes: Jason, if you could have your pick, who do you want to come out of this match as the winner?

Jason X: I really could give a damn, because neither of these fools have any chance of taking the Television Championship from around my waist, you understand?

Richie Rhodes: Loud and clear...

[Emi stands up and looks down at Taufik, who is getting up to his knees. Emi runs Taufik and attempts the Jurujuru Shaina, but Taufik is able to catch Emi in the middle of it, slide her onto his shoulders, and hit a modified samoan drop on Emi! Taufik slowly gets up to his feet, waiting for Emi to get to hers, Emi rolls to the ropes, and pulls herself up to her feet, facing away from Taufik. Taufik grabs Emi from behind, lifts her, and nails a German suplex with the bridge for a pin. 1... 2... KICKOUT! Taufik rolls onto his good leg and stands up. Emi rolls towards the ropes and begins to pull herself up as well, but Taufik is there before she can fully stand. Taufik lifts her up and whips her to the opposite ropes. Emi rebounds and is hit with a back body drop by Taufik. Taufik turns and waits for Emi to get to her feet. As she stands and turns toward him, Taufik grabs her head, spins, and nails her with a spinning neckbreaker! Taufik rolls top of her, hooking the leg for the pin. 1... 2... KICKOUT!]

Thomas Simon: It appears Taufik’s leg is getting worse as the match continues...

Richie Rhodes: Well, some injuries just take time to heal. Doctors have cleared him to wrestle, so he’ll be fine...

[Taufik stands up and grabs both of Emi’s legs, and attempts to lock in a sharpshooter on Emi, but Emi struggles and gets her legs free, pushing Taufik backwards towards the ropes. Taufik hits the ropes, rebounds slowly, and comes back at Emi. Emi is able to get up just enough to hit Taufik with a modified drop toe hold, that send’s Taufik’s bad knee onto the mat. Emi grapevine’s her legs around Taufik, and applies a combo kneebar/ankle lock on his bad left leg that causes Taufik to yell out in pain. Emi sinks in the hold deep, and Taufik reaches for the ropes in front of him, but they are much too far away. Taufik pushes himself up, and using his forearms, slowly crawls to the ropes. About a foot away from the ropes, Taufik looks as though he’s about to tap out, but with one final lunge, Taufik just barely gets to the ropes with the tips of his fingers. Emi releases the hold and shakes her head in disbelief. Emi heads over to Taufik and lifts him up to his feet. Emi holds Taufik back against the ropes, and chops his chest as hard as she can. Emi grabs Taufik’s wrist and whips him to the ropes, but Taufik reverses, sending Emi instead. Emi rebounds, and comes back with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors roll up for the pin. 1... 2... KICKOUT!]

Thomas Simon: How is Taufik still able to stand after all of this action here tonight?

Jason X: It’s because he’s too dumb to know that he should stay down.He’d rather risk losing the ability to walk than just give up...

Richie Rhodes: But just think, if Taufik can pull out the win, then how easy of a target would that knee be?

Jason X: I was thinking the same thing Rhodes...

[Taufik just barely escapes the pin, but he is the first on to his feet. Emi turns toward Taufik and is leveled with a clothesline. Taufik grabs Emi’s arms and lifts her up, hooking her arms behind her back. Taufik lifts Emi up and hits her with a Double Underhook Suplex. Taufik rolls on top of Emi for the pin. 1... 2... KICKOUT! Taufik slowly stands, noticeably putting his weight on his right leg only. Taufik waits for Emi, who is stumbling up to her feet. As she stands, facing away from Taufik, he slides behind her, and wraps an arm around her neck, and another one under her armpit. Taufik lifts Emi and throws her backwards, hitting her with a Cobra Clutch Suplex! Taufik tries to stand back up, but his leg gives out, so he crawls over to Emi for the pin. 1... 2... KICKOUT!!! Taufik looks up at the referee in disbelief. Taufik grabs Emi’s head, and pulls her up to her feet. Taufik pulls Emi over to the corner and hooks her head. Taufik lifts Emi up and places her in a sitting position on the top rope. Taufik grabs the ropes for leverage, and is able to pull himself up the the middle rope. Taufik hooks Emi’s head, and is preparing to lift Emi once again, but Emi delivers a shot right to Taufik’s mid section. Emi throws two more, which finally causes Taufik to release the head hook. Taufik grabs onto the top rope to hold himself up, which allows Emi to slide back down to the mat. Emi pulls Taufik partially onto her shoulders, and drives Taufik down to the mat with a modified powerbomb!!! Emi looks around, shocked at what she just did, as she falls on top of Taufik for the pin. 1... 2... KICKOUT!!!]

Richie Rhodes: How in the world did that tiny little girl just powerbomb Taufik???

Jason X: Now I’ve seen everything...

[It is now Emi’s turn to shake her head in disbelief at the referee. Emi looks down at Taufik, and then back up at the top turnbuckle. Emi stands up and begins to climb as Taufik rolls onto his stomach. Emi turns and waits for Taufik to stand, when out of nowhere, she is pushed from behind by Jason X, who jumped onto the apron. Emi flies into the center of the ring, crashing and burning as the referee rings the bell. Jason X climbs into the ring with the Television Title in hand, and as Emi gets up, holding her chest in pain, Jason runs at her, nailing her in the head with the Title. Taufik is slowly getting to his feet, and Jason runs at him with the title belt as well, nailing him in the head with the MPW Television Championship.]

Honey Winters: As a result of the interfierence by Jason X, this match has been declared a NO CONTEST by the referee in charge...

Thomas Simon: Damn it, these fans deserved a winner tonight...

Richie Rhodes: Screw the fans, I was entertained...

[Jason holds up the Television Title above his head for a moment, celebrating, looking down at the motionless bodies of Taufik and Emi, when the MPW jumbotron turns into feed from backstage, where Bob Herman, MPW President, is standing by...]

Thomas Simon: Well Jason X just ruined this match, but maybe Mr. Herman is going to make things right...

Richie Rhodes: Ruined? He just livened things up...

Thomas Simon: Shut up Rhodes...

Bob Herman: Well, thanks to you Jason we have no winner in tonight’s match. But before you get too happy, just because there isn’t a winner doesn’t mean that there isn’t a number one contender. In fact, there are two number one contenders to the MPW Television Title. And at High Stakes, on September 22nd, you Jason, will defend your MPW Television Championship against BOTH Emi Yamamoto AND Taufik! And because the night will be called High Stakes, lets raise the stakes even further, by making it a triple threat elimination match! Sometimes Jason, karma's a bitch, isn’t it?

[The feed cuts out as Jason goes wild in the ring at the news. Jason climbs out of the ring, Television Title over his shoulder, swearing at himself after what he just heard. The referee checks on both Emi and Taufik in the ring as the camera fades to the back]

[The MPW camera opens to the back, where Jay Wyatt is standing by with microphone in hand...]

Jay Wyatt: With me tonight, right before their big match in the finals of the MPW Tag Team Tournament, is Samuel of The Night Terrors!

[The camera pans out, and Samuel, dressed in his standard black and face makeup, steps into frame. Jay raise the microphone, turning to Samuel, and begins to speak...]

Jay Wyatt: You and your brother Clay have been on quite the roll since arriving to the MPW, still undefeated in both singles and tag team action. Tonight, The Night Terrors square off against Christian Carter and Tyler Axe. Thoughts?

Samuel: …

Jay Wyatt: Samuel?

Samuel: What’s the point telling you anything Jay. I look into your eyes, right now, and see the same revolting weakness I see in every fan in the arena. I see the desperation inside you boiling to the surface, wanting more out of your pathetic life than you could hope to achieve. You see, while the billions of sheep live there life day to day, doing nothing more than allowing their lives to pass them by, there are the few monsters out there like my brother and I, who fight for everything we want with a fury never before seen by most eyes. The Night Terrors represent pain and sorrow, destruction and chaos. We want the world to understand the power of the fear and darkness that lays dormant in us all. Tonight, Tyler Axe and Christian Carter are going to step into that ring against the greatest team in this business. And by the end of tonight, Iconic Aggression will be forced to come to the reality that they are no longer the top of the food chain. Baxter and Blaze will see our power, and know deep down in their hearts that even they can’t survive an encounter with “The Monsters of The MPW”...

[Before Samuel can finish speaking, Clay walks up behind him in his ring gear, and whispers something to Samuel, quiet enough where the camera can not pick up what he’s saying. Clay hands Samuel a white envelope. Samuel opens the envelope and pulls out a plain white card. Samuel opens it up, and in red ink that looks as though it dripped down on the card like blood, one word is written. That word, is “TONIGHT”. Samuel looks up to Clay and nods, and Clay nods in return. Samuel drops the card, and it hits the ground, spinning past Jay. The Night Terrors turn away from Jay and walk off to head to the ring. The camera focuses on Jay, who is standing there, confused...]

Jay: Guys, I had a couple more questions. Well, I guess back to you at ringside...

[As the camera fades back to the ring, Jay bends down and picks up the white card, looking at it intensely...............]

Richie Rhodes: Speaking of their opponents...

[The lights in the MPW arena go black, except for a lone large dark blue spotlight on the stage. The opening chords of “Sweet Dreams” by Marilyn Manson starts to echo throughout the arena. As the music starts to crescendo after the intro, Samuel and Clay step out onto the stage. Samuel steps in front of Clay in the middle of the stage, and extends his arms to the sides, hands in fists. As Samuel does this, Clay raises his arms above his head and makes an “X” with them. As they do this, the ramp and the ring light up to a dark blue. Samuel and Clay then start to make their way down to the ring down the ramp. As they get to the ring, Samuel quickly slides in under the bottom rope, and Clay steps over the top rope. In the ring, Samuel and Clay do the same pose that they did on the stage moments earlier. The music slow starts to fade away as the house lights come back on. Samuel and Clay head to their corner and Samuel steps to the outside apron. Clay waits for the beginning of the match...]

Richie Rhodes: I’m a huge fan of these two, but even I get freaked out when they are this close to me...

Thomas Simon: Not only are they physically imposing, but the mind games they play with their opponents is almost as effective...

As Samuel gets up to his feet, Axe is about to launch himself into a “Feed The Kraken” attempt, Carter blind tags him from the outside, stopping Axe dead in his tracks...]

Axe looks down to Clay, who is barely moving, and heads to his corner. Axe climbs to the top rope, and is about to leap as Carter blind tags himself in by tagging Axe’s leg.

Richie Rhodes: May have?

Thomas Simon: Yes, may have, but what is going on in the ring?

Samuel stands up and hook’s Axe’s head, dragging him up to his feet. Back outside the ring, Carter is finally to his feet and teases getting back into the ring, halfway climbing up the apron and then stopping. Clay urges Carter to get into the ring as Samuel hooks both of Axe’s arms, but Carter slowly goes back down to the outside mat. Carter waves off what is happening in the ring, turns his back, and starts to walk up the stage. The crowd boos him heavily as Samuel nails Axe with The Fear’s Embrace. Samuel quickly gets up to his feet, and heads over to the side of the ring with the timekeeper. Samuel yells for a microphone, and the timekeeper brings it over. Samuel snatches it from him, and heads back into the middle of the ring to address the crowd...]

Thomas Simon: Enough is enough guys. It’s bad enough that Carter refused to help Tyler Axe, but The Night Terrors had to continue attacking Tyler Axe after he was obviously hurt...

Richie Rhodes: These two seem to be delivering a message here tonight...

Samuel: From the very first time my brother and I had stepped into this ring, we told the world that our ultimate goal was to become the MPW Tag Team Champions. And after tonight, we have finally earned our shot at the champs in Iconic Aggression. But while those frauds of Tag Team Champions claim to be the best team in wrestling, we have been proving otherwise week in and week out. Jackson Blaze, we know how bad you want Trey Baxter to walk out victorious tonight with the World Title intact so that you can get your rematch for the Sin City Title. And Baxter, we know just how much that World Title means you. But you know, deep down inside, that we crave the Tag Team Gold even more. We will do anything, defeat anyone, and prove to the world the power of the darkness. We will defeat Iconic Aggression for those Tag Team Titles. Deep down, Baxter and Blaze know it too, whether they choose to accept it or not. Our message tonight is simple. Enjoy your reign on top of the world now guys, because when you face off against The Night Terrors, you’re whole world is going to fall into the dark abyss, and a new power will claim the Tag Team Gold. Embrace the pain boys, because you two are destined to feel more in the coming weeks than you ever have before. And as for Axe here, consider this an appetizer to the wave of destruction about to swallow the MPW whole. It’s time for Chaos and Pain to be spread like a plague. The sun has set, it’s time for darkness to reign...

[Samuel drops the microphone as Axe begins to stir in the ring. Clay walks over and picks him up, leaving a pool of blood where Axe’s head laid against the mat. Samuel pulls the table into the middle of the ring, angled towards the corner. Samuel heads out the the apron and climbs to the top rope as Clay drags Axe over to the corner. Clay kicks Axe in the gut, and then puts his head between Clay’s legs. Clay lifts his right fist into the air, and then grabs Axe, lifting him up into the powerbomb position. As Samuel leaps off the top rope, Clay brings Axe down with a P.T.S.D. through the table in the middle of the ring. Clay yells out in a very powerful voice as Samuel slowly makes it to his feet. The lights go out in the arena...]

Thomas Simon: Not this again...

Richie Rhodes: You don’t enjoy the disappearing act Simon?

Thomas Simon: These men just destroyed Tyler Axe in the middle of the ring. Of course I don’t enjoy what's going on...

[The lights come back on after about ten seconds, and The Night Terrors are on one of the side of the ring, Tyler Axe is still laying in a pool of his own blood over the broken pieces of table in the middle of the ring, and on the opposite side stands Crow. Crow looks at Samuel and Clay, and then down at Axe. Clay squats down by Axe’s head, and runs two fingers through the wet pool of blood. Crow looks back at The Night Terrors, and stands back up. Crow begins to slowly clap at the destruction caused by The Night Terrors. After a moment. Crow points down to Axe and then gives The Night Terrors a thumbs up, and they each move beside the motionless Tyler Axe. Samuel and Clay each grab and arm, and lift Tyler to his feet. Tyler’s head is hanging down, covered in blood, and Crow reaches out and grabs his chin, lifting it so it is level with Crow’s face. The Night Terrors hand Axe to Crow, who bends Axe down and hooks his arms behind his back. Crow lifts Axe straight in the air, upside down, and brings down Axe, nailing him with the Angel Eyes! Axe falls back down to the mat motionless, and Samuel, Clay, and Crow all begin to laugh maniacally in the middle of the ring. Clay walks over and rolls Axe out of the ring under the bottom rope with his foot. Crow turns to the camera side of the ring and goes down to his knees. Samuel steps behind Crow and extends his arms to the side, hands balled in fists. Clay moves behind Samuel at the same time, and raises his arms high over his head, hands also balled up into fists. All three begin to laugh maniacally once again as the lights in the arena go out one more time...]

Richie Rhodes: Really? Do we need to hire a new electrician for the MPW?

Thomas Simon: I’m more concerned about the welfare of the MPW roster if these three have joined forces...

Richie Rhodes: They’ll be nearly unstoppable!

[The lights come back on one more time, and both The Night Terrors and Crow are nowhere to be found, leaving Tyler Axe motionless outside the ring, and the broken table littered by Axe’s blood in the ring. EMT’s rush down to the ring to check on Tyler Axe as the camera fades to the back...............]

Thomas Simon: Well fans... that was quite the scene and we are still cleaning it up but in the mean time it is our priviledge to announce the second inductee in to the Hall of Fame Class of 2013... lets cut to the video package.

Thomas Simon: Ladies and Gentlemen that's right our second inductee will be none other than the former X-Core Champion and the man who pioneered the entire division and even named it. Kuk Killswitch.

Thomas Simon: We thank you Kuk Killswitch for all you have done for MPW over your career here and with honor we induct you in to our hall of fame!

Match 6 - Ladder Match

["King of the Stereo" by Saliva plays from the speakers as the crowd pops. Brandon Nytrus comes out onto the stage with his championship slung over his left shoulder.]

Honey Winters: The following contest is a ladder match! And it is for the MPW World's Heavyweight Championship!

[Brandon begins walking down the ramp. From behind him, Trey Baxter clobbers him with a double axe handle. Brandon goes down to the ramp. Trey looks down and runs towards the ring.

Richie Rhodes: Trey just connected with a neck breaker!! Brandon was just destroyed!!!

[Trey sits up and tries to shake it off. He uses the second rope to stand up. The ladder has tipped over and is leaning on the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Trey walks over and folds it up. He picks it up and turns around, waiting for Brandon to stand. Once he does, he runs at him and hits the ladder across the chest, sending him down to the mat once again.]

Thomas Simon: Oooo! And the ladder is used as a weapon for the first time in this match!

Richie Rhodes: This is an opening for the champ!

[Trey unfolds the ladder and sets it up under the championship. He looks up and begins to climb up. Nytrus is crawling now and uses the ladder to stand up. He watches Trey make it to the top.

Thomas Simon: Woahhhh!!! What action we have in this match!!

[Brandon rolls out of the ring and goes under the ring. He grabs a chair. The crowd begins to rustle a little bit. They are excited. Brandon slides into the ring with the chair and waits for Trey to stand. Once he does, he swings and connects to the face of Trey. The shot is so hard, it opens Baxter's forehead up as he begins to bleed. Nytrus leans up against the rope. He walks over to the ladder and puts it on the ground. He lifts Trey up and puts him on top of it. The crowd cheers. He walks over to the turnbuckle.]

Thomas Simon: Uh oh... What is Nytrus doing...

Richie Rhodes: This guy is seven feet tall! Why is he getting on the top rope!?

[He stands on the top looking down at Trey. He looks around the arena and the crowd is standing. He leaps looking for a cross body, the camera flash rapidly. Trey just gets out of the way, and Nytrus goes gut first onto the ladder. The crowd jeers. Trey lays on his stomach beside the ladder. Brandon rolls around and yells out, grabbing his stomach. Nytrus sits up against the ropes holding his stomach. His mouth begins to bleed.]

Thomas Simon: Oh no... Nytrus is bleeding from the mouth.

Richie Rhodes: Trey reinjured that internal injury Nytrus suffered at Goldrush at the hands of Chris Cable!

[Brandon rolls around and lays down on the mat. He is breathing heavily. Trey hasn't moved at ringside. Brandon tries to stand up. His midsection hurts way to much for him to move. Trey begins to move slowly. He grabs on to the apron and uses most of his strength to will himself up. He is bleeding heavily from the forehead. Blood is all over his chest and his face. He rolls into the ring. Brandon still hasn't moved at all. Trey crawls over to the ladder, slowly and painfully. Brandon crawls over to the chair that was left in the ring. Trey wills himself up. Once he's up, he sets up the ladder. He sees Brandon with the chair. He walks over to him and grabs the chair out his hand. He limps over to the ladder. He begins to climb the ladder with the chair. Once he reaches the top he stands on top of it.]

Thomas Simon: That ladder isn't anywhere close to the title!

Richie Rhodes: Oh no... You don't think...

[Trey leaps off the ladder and lands with the chair across the chest of Nytrus. Brandon screams out in pain. Trey is in pain as well. Both men are down and out once again. Baxter still begins to stand up. He leans against the ropes now. Brandon has blood trickling from the mouth and down into the mat now. Nytrus begins to slowly roll around and try to stand. Baxter is confused. He picks up the chair.]

Trey: STAY DOWN!!!

[He swings the chair and cracks it off the back of Nytrus. Brandon goes back down. He still begins to try to get to his knees. Trey gets even more frustrated. He swings again and cracks it on the back once again. Brandon tries to will himself up again, but then falls on his own. Trey smiles now and then drops the chair. He limps over to the ladder again as the crowd boos loudly. Suddenly, they pop. Brandon is willing himself up once again. Trey is extremely confused. He gets down from the ladder and then walks over to Brandon again.]

Trey: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?

[Trey slaps the back of Brandon's head. He grabs the chair again. He lifts it up again and then swings. Hitting Nytrus in the back once again. Brandon is getting up once again. He gets up faster now. Trey's eyes widen. He stands up. His knees are weak but he puts his fists up. Trey doesn't know what to do. He drops the chair and then punches Brandon in the face. He does it again. Brandon punches Trey in the face. Trey goes right back. Brandon becomes really groggy now. Trey bounces off the ropes but Brandon hits the Spear out of nowhere. The crowd pops loudly.]

Richie Rhodes: What!?

Thomas Simon: Brandon Nytrus just connected with the Spear out nowhere!!!

[Both men lay there in pain. The crowd chants "This is awesome." After a number of moments, Brandon begins to move slowly. Trey grabs the bottom rope and pulls himself over to it. Brandon sits up against the ropes and then looks up to the title. Trey looks up at it too. The crowd is still chanting. Brandon pulls himself up. He stumbles over to the ladder now and pulls the ladder over to the center of the ring. He falls to his knee and holds his abdomen. Trey drags himself over to the ladder as well. Brandon begins to climb. With every step slower than the next.]

Thomas Simon: Here we go... Nytrus climbing!

Richie Rhodes: But here comes Trey!

[Brandon is halfway up once Trey begins to climb. Brandon keeps willing himself up. Rung by rung. Trey is a little but quicker and they meet each other at the top now. Both men reaching. Trey punches Brandon in the ribs. Brandon goes down face down to the top rung. Trey uses his athletic ability to kick Brandon with a buzzsaw to the side of the face. Trey pushes Brandon off of the ladder and he lands through the table on the outside.]

Thomas Simon: OH MY GAWD!! Nytrus sent through the table!!!

Richie Rhodes: Grab the title, Trey! Go!

[Trey looks up at the title. He climbs up one more rung and unlocks the title from the hook. He holds the title close to his body as "Guerrilla Radio" plays from the PA. He climbs down the ladder slowly. He falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring. The EMTs tend to Nytrus at ringside.]

Honey Winters: Here is your winner and STILL your MPW World Heavyweight Champion... TRRRRREY BAXTERRR!!!!!

[Trey crawls up the ramp holding the title close to his chest. The crowd cheers at both of these men. Standing ovation for both competitors.]

Thomas Simon: What a match and what a night!

[The scene fades out on Nytrus being tended to in the debris of the table at ringside. And then Trey holding the title on the stage with his face covered in blood. He raises the title up in the air and screams.]

Trey: BEEESSSTTTT INNN THEEEEE WOOOOORLLLDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas Simon: My god Trey has done it. What a match up my god!

Richie Rhodes: I can't believe it ended that way

Thomas Simon: we will be right back.

[We come back as Guerilla Radio is playing. Trey now has an Iconic Aggression T-shirt on and is sitting on a leather office chair with his feet up on a table in the middle of the ring. Jamie McKenzie stands at the end of the table wearing glasses holding a clipboard. ]

Jamie McKenzie: Ladies and Gentlemen I am here on behalf of Bob Herman to initiate this contract signing between Roxi Johnson and Trey Baxter for the World Heavyweight Championship at High Stakes 2 now can we introduce Rox...

Trey Baxter: Cut the crap Ms. McKenzie quite frankly no one cares about anything you have to say

[Trey sits up in the chair and holds the microphone with two hands. The World title sits on his shoulder]

Trey Baxter: I am the World Heavyweight Champion and this is my show. The last person who got in my way was Brandon Nytrus and he just needed six men to help him out of the arena tonight and im sure he is watching this from a hospital bed as we speak, just as Lucas King is now sitting at home with an ice pack on his head after the beating Blaze and I handed him after not only losing the Gold Rush tournament but again losing his Television Title. Iconic Aggression is about gold and Blaze will get his back im sure of it but King was not cut out for the job.

[The fans boo]

Trey Baxter: Now High Stakes is where I won the World Title for this first time defeating Jackson Blaze in a three stages of hell match a year ago. This time on the anniversary I will put Roxi through hell and defend this title against her. She thinks The "Resistance" is strong but Iconic Aggression is stronger. I am stronger.

[Trey looks up at Jamie]

Trey Baxter: Now Ms. McKenzie you may introduce Roxi Johnson.

Jamie McKenzie: Um. Ladies and Gentlemen... Roxi Johnson

[The fans cheer as Help is On The Way by Rise Against hits in the arena. Roxi walks out from the crowd to a huge ovation. She walks down the ramp in her Resistance T-shirt cut above her stomach. She has serious determination in her eyes as she hops the guard rail and climbs in to the ring. She walks over to the table across from Trey and takes a seat]

Jamie McKenzie: Now Trey and Roxi I am..

[Roxi snatches the clipboard out of Jamie's hand and flips to the last page and signs on the line as the fans cheer her on]

Richie Rhodes: Roxi just signed away her future

Thomas Simon: Roxi just signed her shot at the World Title!

[Trey smiles and takes the contract next and signs it. He pauses and hands it to Jamie]

Jamie McKenzie: It's official ladies and gentlemen Roxi Johnson and Trey Baxter will compete one on one at High Stakes for the World Title!

[The fans cheer]

Trey Baxter: You pathetic simple fool. You think you can sign a contract and that makes you better than me? Good enough to beat me? You have no idea what you just signed. You just signed away your career. You just signed your death wish. Trey Baxter's name will forever be in history as the greatest MPW Champion ever. Roxi you are nothing. You are pathetic.

[Trey stands up as does Roxi and Trey clears off the table. The fans boo as Jackson Blaze slides in to the ring and stands next to Trey Baxter. Trey flips the table over to the side as him and Jackson corner Roxi. McKenzie leaves the ring. Roxi smiles and stands still]

Thomas Simon: Trey and Jackson have Roxi cornered!

Richie Rhodes: get her!

[Roxi starts laughing as bright white lights blind the arena. The fans cheer and when they turn back on Johnny Clash, Chrissy Starr and Gabriel Griffin are standing next to her all in Resistance T-shirts only feet away from Trey and Blaze. ]

Thomas Simon: My god this is intense

[Trey smirks nervously and backs up with Jackson. They lean on the ropes as Roxi and the Resistance stand still. Trey slowly climbs out of the ring as he and Blaze stare down the Resistance. The scene cuts to the MPW logo]
